Chapter Fifty-Three
"Japanese?"
After hearing Yu Zhong's words, Old Man Fei was very surprised, but soon he woke up and didn't care much. He asked about the origins of these little Japanese and found that there was nothing out of the ordinary, so he asked Yu Zhong to send them to the countryside to farm... After all, it was impossible for everyone to be like them.
In the following days, the two of them lived a relatively easy life in addition to considering escaping military service. So, as officials, they also began to pay attention to some major events in the Qing court.
Kangxi met Feyyadoro in Beijing and gave him a banquet in the Hall of Peaceful Heart. After that, the negotiations began. However, this time the negotiations were not in Beijing, but in the summer resort in Chengde. The ministers of various sects in the court almost squeezed their heads for a quota of plenipotent ministers. However, this position was finally brought to Soetu on the grounds of having rich experience and having "friendship" with Feyyadoro.
However, just when people thought that Soetu's influence had declined after Tong Guowei came to power and Huifei prayed for blessings, would rise again with this Sino-Russian negotiations, and had done nothing since taking office. Tong Guowei finally started to attack Soetu's party.
Soetu went to Chengde for negotiations, and Wu Dan led the Shanpu camp to guard the mountain resort, and everyone was banned from entering without Kangxi's order. Tong Guowei took advantage of this opportunity and tried his best to defeat many generals of Soetu's party, such as Chen Xijia, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and Yisan A, the Minister of Justice, and others, so that after Mingzhu lost power, Soetu's tentacles that had just stretched out were almost cut off. Tong Guowei's move immediately made the ministers in the court realize his strength. Mingzhu's remaining ministers had also many other ministers who were changing their minds and turned to the Tong family's camp. For a moment, in the court of the Qing Dynasty, Tong Guowei's party replaced Mingzhu's party's status and became a force that could compete with Soetu.
When Soetu ended the negotiations and returned to Beijing with great ambitions, he found that his power had been taken to collapse. He was furious and immediately attacked Tong Guowei with the power of making meritorious deeds. However, because Kangxi intentionally or unintentionally obstructed, his actions did not achieve any actual results. On the contrary, Tong Guowei had been ready for the momentum of Soetu's engine and did not have time to consider the overall situation, and his influence in the local area increased greatly.
Therefore, after these two "battles", Tong Guowei finally established his position in the Qing court, and people also saw his power.
At the same time, because of his power struggle with Soetu, the other two people in the Shangshu District Minister were almost automatically ignored by people. Few people noticed that these two people also had the identity of prime minister and had a certain influence on Kangxi.
"Your Majesty, the matter is almost the same as this point. You can't let Su Tong and the others fight like this anymore, otherwise it will lose the vitality of the court!"
Standing in front of Kangxi's Dragon Case, Gao Shiqi said to Kangxi bluntly.
"I know this, look at this..."
Kangxi just nodded to Gao Shiqi's advice, then took out a yellow memorial and handed it over. At this time, there were only two people in the study room, so he could not find someone to do it for him.
Gao Shiqi took the memorial respectfully and looked at it. He was stunned at first, and then he was delighted.
"Gao Shiqi, what did you see?" Kangxi asked with a smile when he saw Gao Shiqi's face.
"Your Majesty, Soetu's memorial to complain about illness is really timely, but this is not like his third brother's temper. Someone must have given him advice later!" Gao Shiqi smiled.
"That's right! Soetu has always been a perverted person and has never been soft-spoken to others. This time he actually thought of not being sick and not being afraid of Tong Guowei, but wanting to see my attitude towards them." Kangxi said.
"What will the emperor plan to do?"
"Hmph, Suetu is sick, Tong Guowei will definitely think of taking advantage of the situation to seize a few more cities. Unfortunately, I can't allow them to make trouble anymore. Now it's enough. There can't be anyone in the court. Suetu has understood this truth. Tong Guowei should be a little more sensible!" Kangxi said casually, as if the two prime ministers of the dynasty fought for power and profit in his eyes, just like a child playing house.
"Your Majesty!" Just as Gao Shiqi wanted to say a few more words, an anxious voice came from outside the study room.
"Your Majesty, it's Tingyu." Gao Shiqi heard the voice of the visitor.
"Your Majesty, I'm urgent to report, 100,000 yuan..." As soon as Gao Shiqi finished speaking, Zhang Tingyu rushed into the study room. The two small boxes in his arms, which were tightly wrapped in yellow silk, were also placed on Kangxi's dragon desk. Gao Shiqi looked sideways and saw that there were eight blood words on the yellow silk outside a box: "Life and death are at stake, 100,000 yuan!"
Secretly folded music!
There are even blood words written!
Anyone can know the seriousness of the matter.
"Wolf (My Eye Tan)! Flying ancient times!"
The names of two people broke out in Kangxi's teeth!... An ominous premonition spread in the study room.
These are the two confidant generals of Kangxi.
Lang (Muqin), led 70,000 troops to guard Korqin; Feiyang Gu, Fuyuan General, with 100,000 elite troops under his command!
At this time, the two people's secret melody arrived in the capital at the same time!
What does this mean?
Kangxi had only assigned one task to two people before, that is... to monitor Galdan!
"Che..." Kangxi tore open the yellow silk hard, and then took out the memorial from the box.
...
After a long time, two words spit out from his mouth: "Dog thief!"
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Gao Shiqi asked anxiously. Next to him, Zhang Tingyu no longer had the quietness of the past. The secret fold was the secret fold, which was the secret letter. However, now there were blood words written outside the secret fold. Even if it was sent directly by a special person, few people knew it, which was enough to make anyone feel uneasy.
"You see for yourself!" Kangxi took a deep breath, his face calmed down, and then handed over the two memorials to Gao Shiqi.
...
"Has Galdan sent troops?" As soon as he glanced at him, Gao Shiqi exclaimed in surprise.
"That's right... this time, Galdan gathered all the troops, a total of 150,000 people, and was ready to head towards Ulan Butong!" Kangxi's face was very serious.
"Frequently fifty thousand people?"
Zhang Tingyu, who has always believed in the principle of silentness, was also shocked by the content in Kangxi's words. 150,000 people? How could Geldan have such strong strength? How could this be? It was amazing! No one in the Qing court had ever thought that everyone thought that no matter how strong Geldan was, he was just tens of thousands of soldiers. After all, even the large number of Eastern Mongolia had to make a lot of 100,000 soldiers, let alone the smaller population.
However, the situation now is beyond imagination, and it is bad beyond imagination.
"Where did Galdan have so many people? Even if he conquered the three Khalkha Mongolian tribes, according to Xiuzhuer, most of these three people were killed by him, and most of the others fled to Mongolia in the south of the desert and were taken in by the court. He could not have gathered so many soldiers!... Emperor, is Galdan setting up a suspicion array in the old place?" Gao Shiqi shouted.
"Feiyanggu is proficient in military affairs, and Lang (Muqin) is cautious. If there is no exact information, they will not report it to me... This hateful Galdan actually hides his strength so well!" Kangxi gritted his teeth and said hatefully.
"Galdan is already powerful. Now he has occupied the two foothills of the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, conquered the three Khalkha Mongolian tribes, shook hands with all the Moxi Mongolians and Moxi Mongolians, and said that he could raise 150,000 troops and horses. It is indeed possible. It seems that we were all deceived by him... we only used tens of thousands of soldiers to fool us. We only thought he was arrogant. Now it seems that he is capable!... He can actually defeat Moxi Mongolians with tens of thousands of people. Such people are indeed qualified to be arrogant!..." Zhang Tingyu said with a face that was almost frozen.
"Your Majesty, it seems that we can't wait. Although Galdan's troops are more than expected, since he is here, we can't make him comfortable. Ulan Butong is only more than 700 miles away from the capital, so we must not let him pass there...at least, we must repel him!" Gao Shiqi said.
"Repel? Humph, Gao Shiqi, you are too arrogant to Galdan! Since the fish has taken the bait, you can't let him return to the sea. Since Galdan has come, I will not allow him to go back. Otherwise, I will not know when and when will this big trouble be eliminated." Kangxi said ruthlessly: "Since he Galdan can raise 150,000 troops, I can take out 500,000! I want to see how much strength he has to fight against my Qing Dynasty!"
"But, the emperor, 150,000 soldiers and horses, the Mongolian Iron Cavalry is good at hitting a single attack, and it is a thousand miles away. Can our army trap them? Moreover, Galdan has gathered troops and horses. Although we are prepared, even if the order is issued, it will take time for the army to assemble. I am afraid that it is not as fast as Galdan's Mongolian Iron Cavalry!" Gao Shiqi understood what Kangxi meant, but the reputation of the Mongolian Iron Cavalry over the years still made it difficult for him to have as confidence as Kangxi.
"I know!" Kangxi looked calm and reached out to pick up a blank imperial edict on the table. "Gao Shiqi, go and pass the order. Prince Gong Changning immediately set out to Fengtian and dispatch five thousand elite troops to Sabusu. Isn't Arnie, the Secretary of the Lifan Academy, sanctioning the defeated Khalkha army who asked the court for asylum? Let Changning join him, summon the soldiers who were destroyed by the clan, set out first, and stop Galdan, tell them that they are not allowed to fight Galdan, if Galdan attacks, they just need to deal with him... As long as Galdan feels threatened, they dare not march with all their might! What I want is time."
"I obey the order!" Gao Shiqi took the imperial seal from Kangxi before he had time to put on the imperial seal, but just stamped the imperial edict from Kangxi's "Master Tiyuan" and turned around and left.
"Zhang Tingyu!"
"I'm here!"
"You have passed my oral order, Prince Xuankang Jieshu, Prince An Yuele, Prince Yu Fuquan, Soetu, and Tong Guowei immediately entered the palace to discuss matters!"
"Abide by the order!"
Like Gao Shiqi, Zhang Tingyu also turned around and left.
Prince Kang Jieshu led his army to pacify the two provinces of Zhejiang and Fujian during the Three Feudal Rebellion, and made great contributions; Prince An Yue Le suppressed Jiangxi during the Three Feudal Rebellion, and then took advantage of the victory to lead troops into Hunan, stopping the crazy attack of Wu Sangui's troops at that time. Prince Yu Fuquan was his general at that time; there was a great general Tuhai, but he had passed away.
Brothers in war, father and son fight! Jieshu was the sixth uncle of Kangxi, Prince An Yuele was a reformist in the early Qing Dynasty. Shunzhi, a hard-core supporter of Kangxi's reform, and was in charge of the imperial seal. His daughter was adopted by Xiaozhuang and was named Princess Heshuo Roujia, who was brothers and sisters with Kangxi; Prince Yu Fuquan, the second son of Shunzhi and the second brother of Kangxi; Prince Gong Changning, the fifth son of Shunzhi and the younger brother of Kangxi; Soetu and Tong Guowei were all Manchus, and they were royal relatives.
...When this really comes to this, Kangxi can only trust his own people!
