Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-fifth Plans Before Traveling
Feiyanggu knew that Qinghai was rebellious, but Jungge's journey was long from Qinghai, so he didn't know that when he got the news, Luobuzang Danjin had already regretted it.
Rabzangdanjin's father, Zhashbatu, was a son who was not highly valued by Gushikhan, and his power was not very strong among the many Mongolian tribes in Qinghai. If the Qing court had not appointed him as king in order to stabilize Qinghai, he would have been able to continue his life silently from then on.
However, Jung Ger invaded Qinghai, which provided such an opportunity for Dhashbatu and also an opportunity for him, Luobuzangdanjin.
Originally, in order to thank the Qing court for his imperial edict to grant himself the title of the Lord of Qinghai, Zhashibatu sent Luobuzangdanjin to lead a Mongolian army to follow the Qing army to expedition to Zhungeal, which was just a very ordinary act of repaying gratitude. However, this long trip made Luobuzangdanjin see the glory of the former creation of the Hoshuot Khanate created by his grandfather.
It was this long journey that aroused his passion and made him secretly resolve to restore his grandfather Gushihan's vigorous hegemony.
In Luobuzangdanjin's view, the Qing Dynasty was no longer the benefactor who helped his father restore the throne, but the enemy!
Therefore, he was not willing to work hard for the Qing court anymore, but pretended to be injured in the battle and asked Feiyanggu to lead his troops back. Then, while no one was paying attention, he secretly contacted some other Mongolian tribes, hoping to get the support of these tribes. As the heir to the throne of the Hoshuote tribe, his proposal did receive secret support from many Mongolian tribes and important Lama temples. It was this support that further strengthened his determination.
However, his original plan was not to rebel now. Because he had seen the Qing army's lineup, it was indeed powerful. Therefore, he planned to wait until the Qing army pacified Junggar and withdrew its original garrison before talking. In that case, the army that had just carried out a long-term expeditionary war would definitely need to rest. Even if he mobilized the entire Qinghai to escape from the Qing Dynasty, the sect leader, the other party would not be able to send a large army to attack him immediately. In that case, he would have enough time to rectify everything and be prepared.
However, he did not expect that he would soon encounter another excellent opportunity.
The main force of the Qing Dynasty's expeditionary army went deep into the territory of Junggar to find the enemy and fight, and the logistics route was almost within his control. At the same time, Yu Zhongsou, who was attacking Tibet, crossed the Himalayas and went to Nepal. In other words, there was no other force beside him that could make him feel threatened. As long as he was willing, he could cut off the retreat of the Qing Dynasty's expeditionary army and starved to death in the desert. Moreover, he might also send a large army to attack Tibet and incorporate Tibet into his own rule. As long as he was fast enough, he might also block Yu Zhong on the southern foot of the Himalayas.
Of course, all this requires a hidden plan.
In order to reduce casualties and end the battle quickly, he bought more time. He originally planned to lure Erente, the general of Xi'an who was left by Feiyanggu, who was in charge of Xining, and arrested his camp. Then gather troops to attack Xining, and control the entire Qinghai area. At the same time, he blocked the road where Feiyanggu might retreat to Qinghai. Then carry out the following plan.
However, he did not expect that when Erente was happily invited and led the envoy he sent to advance to his camp, the King of the Divine Khan, a Mongolian tribe, whom he had originally contacted, had a conflict with a small army of the Qing army, and leaked secrets from the verge, causing Erente to learn about these situations in advance. As a result, the trapping turned into pursuit.
However, he failed to catch up with Erente. The guy fled quickly and fled into Xining City before him.
So he had no choice but to order the convening of various ministries, a total of 100,000 people, to launch an attack on Xining.
At the same time, in order to avoid opposition from his father, Dashbatu, he put Dashbatu under house arrest.
However, the situation was not very good. More than half of the so-called 100,000 people in the tribes that responded to him were elderly, children and women. In other words, he could not actually command a lot of troops. Moreover, this was not the most terrifying. According to the Qing army newspaper they intercepted, a large army from Gubeikou, Shaanxi was heading towards Qinghai. If he could not conquer Xining in a short period of time, the consequences would be very terrible.
However, just when he needed everyone to work together, some Mongolian tribes retreated.
It was this timidity that caused the Mongolian army to become disintegrated. In addition, Xining's defense was very tight, and the Qing army still had many firearms in hand, which always worked miraculously, so their offense seemed weak.
Therefore, in order to avoid becoming a war of attrition and preserve his strength to wait for the Qing army from Shaanxi, he had to lead the crowd to retreat.
However, he did not expect that after he retreated for a few days, at dawn, a cavalry of tens of thousands of people suddenly fell from the sky. His troops woke up from their sleep, but they were unable to respond because the war horses were not saddled. It took not long before the entire army collapsed and everyone began to flee in all directions. And he disgraced and changed into women's clothes to slip away smoothly. However, the enemy was not willing to let it go. After learning that he was not among the prisoners, the Qing army began to search everywhere and headed towards his escape route, the Qing army led three thousand cavalry to pursue him relentlessly. Before that, he also learned the name of the Qing general from the mouths of the Mongolian soldiers who escaped: Yue Zhongqi!
"You are very brave. Have you forgotten what I said before?"
From the map, the distance from Xining to Yili is similar to that from Xining to Beijing. However, due to road problems, it is much more convenient and faster to get from Qinghai to Beijing than to Yili.
Therefore, Kangxi received news from Qinghai a few days earlier than Feiyanggu, who was far away from the front line of Junggar.
Seeing that everything was going according to the prior arrangement, Kangxi was still quite at ease.
Although he did not know the final result, nor did he see Yue Zhongqi, and did not know the true ability of this young general who could make Yu Zhong value, he was able to entangle Dunduo, which forced him to retreat along the route set by Yu Zhong in advance. This alone would be enough to make Yue Zhongqi wear the hat of a first-class general. If everything goes well, then what he needs to do next is to wait for the news of Yue Zhongqi's final victory. Then he took advantage of the situation to implement the local autonomous yamen system suggested by Old Man Fei in Qinghai, and no longer gave those nomadic tribes an opportunity to take advantage of.
In addition, not long ago, he almost completely solved the problem of the prince's party struggle that had plagued him for many years, so he was in a very good mood.
However, some people are unwilling to let him live a few easy days.
The three ministers in the study and Old Man Fei, who had always been relying on him, actually wrote a letter to him to re-establish the crown prince.
In his opinion, this is just a deliberate attempt to find fault, and it is a ill-gotten plot. It is not that he wants to live a peaceful life, and it is that he does not take him as the emperor seriously!
"The emperor, the four slaves are also considering the stability of the court. The crown prince will not be established for a day, and the civil and military officials will be uneasy for a day!"
The other three are all ghosts, and it is very rare to be able to emerge this time, so the "simple" Dimaqi has always become the "main cannon" of the four. Although this guy didn't dare to really slam Kangxi, he was very straightforward.
"Unquit? Are you afraid that I will suddenly collapse one day and will not have time to welcome my new master?"
Kangxi asked with a cold snorted.
"I dare not!" Hearing Kangxi's merciless face, four fierce men who could shake the court with shaking three times with stomping their feet could only kowtow and apologize.
"Hmph. Don't you dare? Don't you dare now? I have said that it is my family business. Since you haven't let you interfere, you are not allowed to speak. Do you all take my words as a warning? As important officials of the court, you do this. Do you have to let the court become a mess and you are willing to be willing?" Kangxi said angrily.
"The emperor's words are too heartbroken, and I am ashamed of accepting it." Ma Qi didn't know if he was stubborn, so he bowed to Kangxi again and said, "Emperor, I asked the crown prince to be appointed by the emperor against the order, not for the sake of personal gain, but for the future of the Qing Dynasty. There was no crown prince in the court, and it was not a good thing for the country and the people. During the Song Dynasty, Renzong had no son in his later years. Only Zong Shi and Zong Yin adopted sons, and the matter of establishing the crown prince was not decided. As a result, Jiayouyuan
In the spring of the year, Renzong suddenly fell seriously ill when he went to court, and the ministers in the court immediately intrigued about the establishment of a crown prince, leaving Xixia to suppress troops on the border. For a moment, the Song court was full of internal and external crises. At that time, there were many virtuous ministers in the Song court, but there was no way to do it. If Renzong had not become less ill and was asked by Wen Yanbo to make a crown prince, the Song court would not be in danger? The slaves thought that this matter would be a lesson for our dynasty.
Never repeat the same mistakes!”
"Renzong was unwilling to be a crown prince because he had no son. But I had more than 20 princes. How could he compete with me?" Ma Qi's words made sense, but Kangxi had his own plans, so how could he recognize it like this.
"The emperor has many princes, which is indeed a blessing for the royal family and a blessing for the country. However, there are many princes, but it is not easy to deal with. Especially because our Qing royal family is very strict, the descendants are all the princes. In addition, you have also allowed all the princes to join various departments to study government affairs, and the princes have their own power. Now the prince has been abolished, and the kings have achieved the momentum of fighting for the throne. If there is something wrong, the court will still be in chaos!" Tong Guowei also said.
"Hmph! The kings are fighting for the throne? Who else can fight for the throne?" Kangxi snorted coldly. If he could still listen to Ma Qi, he would not have such a good mood for Tong Guowei. He knew very well what his uncle was. His selfishness was definitely the leader of the four people in front of him.
"The emperor exiled all the princes. Although this incident has made the court much more peaceful and avoided the incident of brothers' destruction, the princess, these princes are also the most prestige in the court. The other princes are talented and are inferior to them. Now that they have all left, and there is no backbone in the court, they will continue to be in chaos!" Ma Qi said again.
"The backbone? Do you think the princes I sent out to do things are the backbone of the court? Humph, it seems that you are dissatisfied with my handling of the situation. Then tell me, this backbone should be Yinzhen, Yinsi, Yinzhen, Yinzhen, or Yinxiang, or Brother Yinzhen?" Kangxi sneered.
"I am wronged, please forgive me." Ma Qi was frightened and hurriedly kowtowed to apologize. If he had said that he had just now, the whole family would not have escaped. After all, it was not the turn of the princes in the Qing Dynasty. However, although he knew he was guilty, he did not intend to retreat and continued to speak to Kangxi, "I am for the court, not selfish. Please ask the emperor to observe clearly. A prince will be appointed soon!"
"emperor!"
Four people advised him. However, one of them was Ma Qi and Tong Guowei, and the other two were silent all the time, which made Tong Guowei very dissatisfied. Therefore, he took advantage of Kangxi's inattention and gave Zhang Tingyu a elbow, and finally wrote two words.
"If you have something to say!" Kangxi looked at Zhang Tingyu coldly. This kid was the youngest among the four. He always said what he wanted the most. But this time he came to speak with the other three people behind his back, which really disappointed him. However, this kid has always been very calm, why did he suddenly sweat so much this time?
"Emperor", if it weren't for the prelude of the king now and his always excellent cultivation, Zhang Tingyu would have cursed. He was a weak scholar, and he has always been pampering for many years, and his body was very delicate. However, Tong Guowei used to be the commander of the infantry and the foundation of a military general. Just now, this elbow was used with anger. It was naturally not light. And it was a bit hard to beat him. This kind of internal organs seemed to be churning and painful, which was really uncomfortable. But now it's not
When he settled the accounts, he could only hold back the pain and advise Kangxi: "The emperor, what Ma Xiang said is actually the same. Previously, the second prince was the crown prince, and he worked for more than 30 years. When he had nothing to do, he followed the emperor to study government affairs. When he had something to do, he stayed in Beijing to supervise the country and assisted the emperor. For more than 30 years, all civil and military officials in the court have become accustomed to the existence of the crown prince. Although the crown prince was deceived by a traitor last year and was deposed, the position of the crown prince was sank, and all officials still felt uncomfortable!"
"It's not just that I'm not adapting, but there's another reason. The officials in the court either think that the emperor has been ascended the throne for nearly fifty years, and are worried that if he can't choose someone who can inherit it in time.
A prosperous scene will be difficult to continue; either, it is because of the fear of the empty throne, which will cause the princes to covet and fight; or, as the emperor said, it is because he is afraid that he will not have time to welcome the new master. These three are all thoughts and cannot be concealed by others. However, if the crown prince does not stand for a day, people will still worry, so the servant thinks that the emperor should make a decision!" After Zhang Tingyu said that, Old Man Fei took it again.
"Decision? That's good." Kangxi sneered. Zhang Tingyu was just not adapting. Old Man Fei just asked him to make a decision. From what the two said and their expressions, he had roughly inferred the attitude of the four people. Since the four people were not the same, he would not have to work hard! And Old Man Fei is quite good at being a human being. Although he came to give advice, he made him "decision" himself. 1 It seems that this old man still knows who is in charge of the family. Therefore, his original anger has dropped a lot and he no longer intends to get entangled with the four people. "I naturally have made a decision. I will never worry about something you worry about. Therefore, you don't have to talk too much about this matter of establishing a crown prince.
I remember my past achievements, and it’s not your fault for breaking my will. All of them will be retreated!"
"Emperor!" Ma Qi was unwilling to give up the courage to mention this matter to Kangxi. Four people came together. After missing this opportunity, it would not be so easy next time. Therefore, he said to Kangxi again: "Your Majesty, how can one word make the officials in the court feel at ease. This time, the slaves came to give advice, but although they did not ask about the officials, this matter was indeed the intention of the ministers. If this matter is not decided for a day, the officials will not be at ease."
"If the heart is right, then all evil will be warded off! Is there anything that cannot be at ease? Can't I convince you of my words?" Kangxi said.
"Your Majesty..." He turned around and said that I was not right? Although Ma Qi didn't expect this meaning for a moment, he still felt uncomfortable.
"Ma Xiang, the emperor is healthy and the future is long, don't worry!" Old man Fei saw that Ma Qi had not known where to go, and even dared to invade the evil fire, so he hurried over and said.
"You..." Since we came together, we were standing on the same front, but Old Man Fei actually persuaded him, which made Ma Qi very dissatisfied and couldn't help but turn his head and glar at Old Man Fei. However, this distracted mind also made him wake up. Kangxi could not be angry.
"I'm tired today! You all retreat!" Kangxi felt relieved when he saw Ma Qi stop pestering. Everyone was easy to deal with, but Ma Qi was really reluctant to punish him.
"Eighth Prince, the emperor will not be able to establish a throne in a short period of time. This is not because I don't help you! I can only blame you for your bad luck!..." Since Kangxi issued an order, Tong Guowei and the other four had to retreat. Tong Guowei looked at the other three and secretly calculated. Fei Caitou guessed well, and he was the leader of this time. The eighth brother was unwilling to be exiled so he decided to make a last move. Before leaving, he asked him for help, hoping that he could join several senior officials of the Eighth Prince Party to encourage all officials to request Kangxi to establish a throne. In Yinsi's view, in this situation, as long as Kangxi agreed to establish a throne at the request of all officials, Yinsi was still confident that most of the officials in the court would choose him. However, Tong
Guowei also had his own plans. Kangxi didn't like Yinsi, so this matter was naturally not a secret for the Minister of Shangshang. Although he also thought Yinsi was good, it was not a good deal to mobilize officials for a prince who was not favored by Kangxi. Annoyed Kangxi, the consequences were serious. However, because of the fact that he had several transactions with Yinsi and knew the methods of the eighth prince, Tong Guowei still decided to keep a good fortune. It was because of this that he found Old Man Fei and the other two Ministers of Shangshang. Anyway, the power of the four of them joining forces was not much worse than that of the officials. As long as they were not too arrogant, the influence range was small, and they could also explain to Yinsi.
However, today's result is obviously to disappoint Yinsi.
"Which one is the emperor paying attention to?" Tong Guowei thought again.
Chapter completed!
