Chapter 54 Changes

The sudden sending of Galdan's troops did not have any major impact at the beginning, but it was just for ordinary people. Kangxi had already arranged nearly 300,000 troops to wait for Galdan, but Galdan's unexpected strength forced him to recruit troops again immediately. So, this matter finally spread within a certain range.

People are in panic!

However, in Fengtian City, who first learned about this, there was a family in Fengtian City who was not afraid of Galdan's strength, but was actually extremely grateful.

Of course, this was a group of people in Prince Zheng’s mansion waiting.

Prince Gong Changning came to Fengtian to dispatch troops. The person responsible for arranging food and fodder was Old Man Fei, the prefect of Fengtian. He naturally knew the whole story within the first time, and then ignored Kangxi's strict order not to leak secrets and informed his family about the matter.

Yu Zhong cheered heavily about this. If Galdan had not been far away, he would have hugged the man and kissed him fiercely on the spot! Similarly, Mo Jing and Luo Xin, who had returned to Fengtian, were also excited about it. They were also very happy that their own people did not have to fight.

As for Galdan's strength, several people did not take it seriously at all. They had great confidence in Kangxi.

...

However, the few people were happy for a few days, and three bad news came back one after another.

After Prince Gong Changning met with Arni, the Minister of the Lifan Academy, the troops were divided into two groups, intending to raid Galdan's army from the left and right to block its advance.

At that time, Chang Ning led 5,000 Manchu cavalry and some Korchin cavalry, while Arni led more than 10,000 Khalkha Mongols who had to go south to ask for protection from the Qing court because of the extermination of the tribe by Galdan!

However, the two armies together had more than 20,000 people, and were quickly eliminated by Galdan.

First, Alni led his army to the Urhui River and encountered about 3,000 troops led by Galdan. As a result, Alni was eager to make a contribution and urged his army to fight. However, Galdan was not panicked when facing the enemy who was three times his own. He just pretended to retreat and left gold, silk and other things on the way. The Khalkha troops led by Arni were extremely disciplined. Seeing these things, he immediately began to fight for the army, causing chaos. As a result, he took this opportunity to return and attack Arni died!

Then, Changning's troops encountered the Galdan army, and the two armies fought in Wuzhumuqin. Changning had insufficient troops and fought and left. However, in the end, he could not escape the pursuit of Galdan's battle army. As a result, like Arni, the entire army was wiped out, and Changning's whereabouts were unknown and his whereabouts were unknown.

After these two battles, the morale of the Galdan army was greatly boosted, and he took advantage of the victory to attack, advanced to Ulanbuton, and set up a camp on the north bank of the Sarik River, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and suppressed the Central Plains. At this time, he was less than 600 miles away from Beijing.

For a moment, the whole country of the Qing Dynasty was shocked and the capital was martial law!

**********

"This Galdan is indeed capable, and he can hit only six hundred miles away from Beijing. He is really good!" In Fengtian, facing Galdan's aggressive and powerful posture, Yu Zhong just expressed his thoughts indifferently, and there was still some regret in his words.

"Of course, no matter how you say it, it's a domineering place. Of course, it's more than you do with watermelons!" Mo Jing sat behind Yuzhong, rubbed his shoulders for him. When he heard this, he sneered without hesitation.

"Hey hey, hey, I said Mo Jing, you can't say that. What if I say it, I'm your husband too... And don't look at Galdan's so happy there, he will have to pull Qingdan another day. This is fate, he didn't run away! So, you should follow me, the melon seller honestly, hahaha... Oh, be gentle, wife!"

"Are you two too much? Is it okay to be a little restrained? If you want to be intimate, go back to your yard and don't play tricks in front of me... Do you know?" Luo Xin sat opposite the two, holding a willow branch in her hand and pointed at them.

"Xinxin, aren't you stingy? Then you should go back to Ningguta to bully that boy Made. Isn't that enough?" Yu Zhong said happily. He was in a very good mood if he had injuries on his body, and he didn't have to fight, and had a beauty on his side.

"Hmph, you guys... Old Fei!" Luo Xin was about to retort, but in a blink of an eye, he saw Old Fei appearing in the yard, so he left the two of them and met them.

"Old Fei, how about it? How many soldiers did Sabusu transfer?"

Galdan's strength not only caused martial law to begin in the Zhili area of ​​Beijing, but even Fengtian was in a tense situation. As the admiral of Fengtian, Sabusu naturally rushed to draw troops from all over the place to prevent Galdan from attacking east. After all, Manchuria was the foundation of the Qing Dynasty and could not be lost. As the prefect of Fengtian, Old Man Fei was naturally obliged to help prepare logistics supplies for the army.

"Have Fei Yaoduo and others left?" Although he heard Yu Zhong's question, Old Man Fei did not answer and just asked Mo Jing.

"I'm leaving. They originally wanted to go back to Fengtian with us, but when I heard that Galdan was coming, don't hurry and go north and want to go back to China through Siberia!" Mo Jing saw that Old Man Fei's face was a little solemn, and hesitated, and quickly replied.

"Oh?... It's so troublesome now!" Old Man Fei said with a calm face.

"Trouble? What's wrong?" Luo Xin asked afterwards.

"The Prince Gong Changning has fled back to Fengtian. According to his words, a large number of firearms appeared in Galdan's army. Moreover, judging from the bird gun he brought back, it is the same as the Russian fire system seized in the Battle of Jaxa!"

"What?" Mo Jing looked at each other and his mood suddenly sank to the bottom. If the Russians really sold the musket to Galdan, what did the previous negotiation mean? Diverge the Qing court's attention? If it is true, wouldn't Mo Jing, who was the initiator of the negotiation, be dead?

"And, since Galdan's strength exceeded expectations, Sabsu was desperately drawing all possible troops. I looked at the list and Mad was among them!"

"..." Another heavy blow!

I thought Yuzhong was injured, and Ma De was just a "prisoner" who had no military power and could not participate in the war and escape the uncontrollable situation, but now... the four of them felt an elusive terror.

"What should we do?" Finally, Yu Zhong first asked this question.

"According to Kangxi's current arrangement, General Fuyuan flew to the Gubeikou Gu, blocking Galdan's westward route; Prince Yu Fuquan led a hundred thousand troops northward to arrange a defense line to block Galdan's southward journey; Sabsu is the third eastern defense line, with the least force... It will take a while to start the battle, so we have to take advantage of this space to estimate it carefully, but this method is not easy to think about!" Old Man Fei sighed.

"It will take a while to start the fight!" Yu Zhong smiled bitterly after hearing this. He thought that Galdan would attack fiercely, and the Qing court would immediately fight back under the arrangement of Kangxi, but... although his injuries had not healed yet, they were almost done...

************

While Old Man Fei and others were confused and worried about their own destiny and thought about solutions, there was also a group of people in Beijing who were in the same situation. Of course, these people were not only for their own destiny, but also for the fate of the entire Qing Dynasty.

The study room was too small, and Kangxi held this imperial meeting in Yangxin Hall.

"I decided to lead the army in person!"

As soon as he came up, Kangxi threw a bombshell at the civil and military ministers who had been waiting for him for a long time.

At this time, there were no longer only a few heavy information, Manchen and a few prime ministers, officials of some status, both Manchu and Han, so if Kangxi wanted to lead the imperial army in person, he immediately caused a ripples in the hall.

"Emperor!" As soon as Kangxi finished speaking, Soetu hurriedly stood up: "Emperor, the battle on the battlefield is great. You are a body of gold and you must not make any mistakes. Therefore, I would like to take back your life!"

"Yes, the emperor, even the son of a thousand gold can't sit in the hall, let alone you are the Lord of Wancheng, please think twice!" After Soetu said, Li Guangdi, the governor of Zhili, also hurriedly came forward and said.

"Hmph, am I the kind of coward who is afraid of bricks and tiles hitting his head while sitting under the eaves? Besides, I am familiar with military books and war strategies, and have commanded various troops to wipe out the Three Feudals. Could it be that even he, a small Galdan, cannot be dealt with? Besides, Prince Kang and Prince An are old. If I don't come out, who can lead the army?" Kangxi scolded Li Guangdi. The son of a thousand gold medal cannot sit in the hall, which means that the rich man who has accumulated thousands of gold in his family will sit and lie down and lie down and be afraid that the tiles will fall and be smashed by the roof. Li Guangdi's original intention was to say that Kangxi is noble and should not take the risk of going to war, but Kangxi led to another meaning of this, which made Li Guangdi dare not say it again.

"Emperor, the Eight Banners soldiers, Green Camp soldiers, and Han Banners soldiers who have just been recruited are gathering towards the capital. Even if you want to command the army in person, you have to wait until the troops gather together. Otherwise, even if you die, you will never dare to let you out of the capital..." Gao Shiqi knelt on the main hall and kowtowed to Kangxi. His words and performance made all the ministers look jealous and jealous. Kangxi's intention to personally expedite, which was seen by everyone. Although most of the ministers were interested in opposing it, even the trusted ministers of Kangxi, such as Li Guangdi, were scolded, and others did not know that they should persuade him. Gao Shiqi beat around the bush and asked Kangxi to bring more troops and horses before leaving, which was both loyal and not bad. It was really a feasible attack and defense.

"Emperor, Gao Shiqi said so much. I am willing to lead a group of troops to clear the way for the emperor!"

Don’t want Gao Shiqi to be beautiful in front of him, Soetu stood up again.

"You?" Kangxi glanced at Soetu, with a little surprised in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten? When I was pacified by the Three Feudals, I also followed Prince Kang to conquer Zhejiang and Fujian. Now, I am willing to die for the emperor again!" Soetu stood up straight and looked down on the ministers! Now, those who can fight in the Qing court are either old and cannot lead troops, or they have been sent out. Most of the remaining people are literati. There is indeed no one who is more suitable to lead troops than him. Although Tong Guowei was a commander of the infantry army, he was just equivalent to the head of the public security bureau in Beijing. Where can he lead the army? Naturally, he could not compete with him.

"Soertu, I am very relieved to have this intention, but there is no need to lead troops to set off first! Alni and Chang Ning were defeated, and Galdan came too quickly. Now it is close to you, and the world has been shaken. If I don't send troops to quell the rebellion, someone will take the opportunity to cause trouble! Therefore, I decided not to wait for subsequent troops, and the army will set off for the war tomorrow!" Kangxi said. The Qing Dynasty's ruling foundation in the Central Plains was never very stable. Almost every dynasty had people rebelled. In the early Kangxi period, there was a Zhong Sanlang sect in Beijing. Although it was destroyed, there was still a world that would make trouble among the people. Although it was not a big deal at this stage, if there was something going on in the northern border and the national strength was depleted, then a minor illness might become a serious illness.

(During Yongzheng's period, because of his mean personality, there were constant opposition from the world; during the Qianlong period, there were two rebellions between Jinchuan, big and big, big and big, big and small, tens of millions of taels of silver, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers died, and there were also rebellions of Hezhuo, and there was also the White Lotus Sect uprising in the late period; during the Jiaqing period, the Tianli Sect attacked the Forbidden City; there was no need to say that Daoguang went down...)

"Your Majesty, you insist on the imperial army to command the army in person, and I have nothing to say, but if someone spreads rumors while you are on the verge of war, then what should I do if the people are in chaos?" Chen Tingjing thought for a while and made a speech.

"Yes, Your Majesty, if you personally fight, who will guard the capital? Who will be the government affairs? "Tong Guowei asked immediately. He couldn't talk about literature or martial arts. Although he was a little talented and bold, he was really uncomfortable to keep up with other people's thinking. Now he finally got the opportunity to speak, so of course he would leave work immediately.

"When I personally fight, the prince will supervise the country and the state affairs will be handed over to the prince. Tong Guowei, you are also staying in the capital, and you must help the prince well. If there is a major incident that cannot be decided, you can report it to me..."

"As for the time when I personally fought, the people's hearts were floating, I had a solution!"

"First, I will issue an order to pardon the world!"
