Chapter 55: Iron Wall Encircled

edict!

The most important one of the edicts and documents of dynasties in history is used for major ceremonies (such as founding a country, the emperor ascending the throne, changing the reign, establishing a descendant, establishing a reserve, etc.); major political reforms (policies and measures that have an important impact on society); major conquests; major punishments; important foreign documents, etc.; and the contents of the edicts need to be announced to the whole country, and those who "always know" are "all those who hear about it."

Kangxi decided to promulgate the order that would never be added in the form of an edict, indicating that he wanted to establish this as a national policy.

In other words, if his descendants do not want to bear the title of unfilial piety, they must always abide by this.

All civil and military officials all expressed opposition to this!

That's right, it's indeed collective opposition. If you can't increase your taxes, then if something happens to the country in the future, you will have to use money and food, but the treasury is short of money, what should you do?

However, Kangxi had an unusual insistence on this, and this order was finally confirmed.

And, it was announced soon.

Afterwards, Kangxi discussed some other related matters with all officials, and decided to review the army at Wufenglou and send troops to fight against Galdan three days later.

*******

In September of the 32nd year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi, the autumn wind first rose.

Outside the Meridian Gate of the Capital, there were 50,000 elite iron armored soldiers standing solemnly, and they were motionless under the bright sunshine!

On the periphery of the five huge square formations composed of 50,000 elite soldiers, there are countless people in the capital! The amnesty of the world, and then there is no tax. The continuous ecstasy has made these people hold Kangxi to the position of "Saint Lord" in the deepest part of their hearts, which can be compared with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Such a "saintly" emperor is going to fight against Galdan, a rebel who does not accept the king's transformation. Of course, they have to take their families and take a look at it to strengthen their reputation for this Saint Lord.

On the side of the Meridian Gate, the teenage crown prince Yinreng also stood honestly in the high sun. Behind him were Zhang Tingyu and Tong Guowei, who were responsible for staying in the capital. Behind these two ministers in Shangshu were all the princes, ministers and civil and military officials who stayed in the capital.

Everyone was waiting for Kangxi.

...

As soon as noon arrives, bells and drums are ringing, and the robe is ringing!

After the flags were waving, the Yulin Army lined up in a yard and came out from the Meridian Gate...

Kangxi is about to come out!

The 50,000 iron-armored soldiers first shouted like tsunami:

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

The crown prince fell to the ground, and all the officials behind him fell to the ground, so the people fell to the ground...

Kangxi was wearing bright yellow satin embroidered flat golden dragon cloud pattern, and a big red cloak. He rode a tall white horse slowly out of the Meridian Gate. Behind him was the guard commander Wu Dan, who followed closely. After Wu Dan, he was the eldest prince Yinzhi who went to the army to fight. Then, he was wearing military uniforms and wearing a sword on his waist. He was ordered to go to the army to fight. Behind these two were the Manchu and Han ministers who were accompanying the army. Behind Suotu was Man, and behind Gao Shiqi was Han, which was clearly divided.

Dismounted and climbed to Wufeng Tower. Kangxi faced the officials and people downstairs, recruited swords and pointed directly into the sky. "Soldiers, my Qing people, the thieves of Gerdan annexed Mongolia, invaded the Central Plains in the south, and tried to destroy our Chinese country and harm our people. What do you think we should do?"

"Suppress the rebels and unify me!"

Fifty thousand elite soldiers were well-trained. As soon as Kangxi finished speaking, the sound of the mountain shouting shocked the audience.

"Well said! Eliminate the rebels and unify me. My land of China cannot tolerate him. Galdan will be rampant. Today, I will lead a large army to fight. In this battle, if Galdan is not destroyed, I will not return to the court!"

"I will never return to the court if I do not destroy the traitor!"

...

The bright yellow dragon flag slowly rose, and 50,000 soldiers were all assigned a large sea bowl full of imperial wine. The crown prince Yinreng also knelt in front of Kangxi with a glass of wine, "I wish the emperor a good man to drink this cup, wishing the army a victory and return with triumphant success!"

"Okay, Yinreng, I have drunk this glass of wine! You stayed in the capital and have a great responsibility. You must pay attention to everything and not be willful. If there is a major event that is difficult to determine, you can order someone to send it to my camp quickly. Also, remember to study, do you know?"

"Please don't worry, my son will definitely live up to the emperor's order!"

"Yes!" Kangxi took the wine glass and drank it downstairs. Then, 50,000 soldiers also dried up the wine at the same time.

"By the way, Gao Shiqi..." Kangxi looked at the soldiers below and smashed 50,000 large sea bowls, and suddenly shouted at Gao Shiqi again.

"What's the emperor?"

"Mingzhu is guilty and has not come to attend the military reading ceremony today. You go and pass the order and let him go to the army to go to war!"

"Uh?...yes, I'll go right away!"

Why did Kangxi suddenly think of Mingzhu? The civil and military officials didn't understand it for a while, but Gao Shiqi was in a clear mind. Mingzhu was the eldest prince's uncle and had always wanted to get the position of crown prince for the eldest prince. Although he had been dismissed from office, he still had a certain influence in the court, especially after the Huifei prayer incident, his influence increased; and the left-behind Tong Guowei was against Soetu. If the two united while Kangxi was away, they would suffer some. Maybe they would really make a big mistake, and it might not be necessary for someone to catch it. Therefore, when Kangxi took away Mingzhu, who had extremely high means, it would be difficult for Tong Guowei to do whatever he wanted. After all, the prince was the one who kept his word in the capital.

Unexpectedly, Kangxi was still thinking about the battle between the prince party at this time. Gao Shiqi secretly felt cold about Kangxi's emperor's mind. The originally somewhat forgotten Jiliu's courage to retreat began to appear in his heart again.

However, Gao Shiqi still had something he could not think of!

After hearing Kangxi's orders, Zhang Tingyu, the Han minister in charge of the study room who was in charge of the left-behind study, secretly touched a hard object tightly wrapped around his body, and he was also sweating. The thing on him was called the "Jinpi Command Arrow" and had the power to mobilize troops on behalf of the heaven. His mission was to mobilize the emperor's personal army left in the capital, and use this command arrow to mobilize the remaining troops from the imperial camp and the nine gate admiral to eliminate everything. Although these troops were only a few thousand, when most of the troops in the capital had already gone with Kangxi to fight, these troops were enough to deal with any emergencies.

Both Han prime ministers were distracted, but Kangxi had already ordered loudly: "The whole army sets off!"

The dragon flag fluttered and the drums were played with the music. Kangxi walked down the Wufeng Tower quickly, turned over and led 50,000 elite troops in front of the imperial court to leave the capital in a mighty manner.

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

He sent troops quickly and was the imperial commander in person. Both of these points show Kangxi's determination to wipe out Galdan! However, there are unexpected situations in heaven and people have good fortune and good fortune at any time. After all, the emperor is not the real pride of the emperor.

He is sick!

The army had just arrived in Longhua near Chengde, and an acute illness forced Kangxi to stop and recuperate.

"Damn it, I will never forgive him Galdan!"

Kangxi's illness came urgently. After the imperial physician of the army was diagnosed, he desperately stopped him from continuing to march, and pointed out that it was just a minor illness, occasionally feeling cold, or something. However, if he continued to persist, the march would be bumpy and he would be difficult to recuperate. The disease would be difficult to recover. Moreover, the war with Galdan would definitely not be solved in a short while. At that time, the weather would get colder and colder, and the north would be particularly cold. By then, it would be too late to recuperate.

Kangxi was furious about this, but he was in his prime and of course he didn't want to live with the medicine jar for the rest of his life, so he had to stop recuperating.

At this time, Prince Yu Fuquan sent someone to send an urgent military report of 100,000 reports that Galdan resisted the Sarik River and set up a camel city on the north bank to lure him to attack. As a result, he could not conquer the army repeatedly, and the army suffered heavy casualties, and it was probably difficult to resist Galdan's subsequent counterattack. Therefore, I hope Kangxi can rush to support as soon as possible.

After receiving the report, Kangxi became angry and scolded Fuquan for being incompetent. However, he had to hurriedly send Soetu and Guoji Tong Guogang to lead the main force of the imperial camp to help. At the same time, he sent someone to order the general Fuyuan on the west route Feiyangguhuo to lead the army eastward and join Fuquan's army as soon as possible to complete the two sides of the border of Galdan, and grant Feiyanggushangfang sword, ordering him to be responsible for the command of the army and the West at that time...

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

Kangxi was very anxious, but opposite him, Galdan, who seemed to have the advantage, was even more anxious.

In fact, Galdan is not an ordinary separatist force. If he insists on saying good things, he can even be said to be a talented and stubborn person! Although he met Kangxi.

Galdan was originally the second son of the family. His brother Sengge inherited the Khan throne of Junggar, and was killed by rebel forces shortly after he inherited the Khan throne. At that time, he was still "making tea" for people in Lhasa. After hearing the news, he immediately borrowed troops from Gushi Khan of the Heshuote tribe in Qinghai, and raided back, quelled the rebellion, and obtained the Khan throne. Afterwards, he killed the east and west, and first unified Xinjiang and some parts of Central Asia. When his army was at its farthest, it even reached the shore of the Black Sea.

However, as a Mongolian, a plot of conquering the East and conquering the Central Plains was passed down from his blood, which made him finally advance eastward after unifying Western Mongolia!

In his belief, since the Qing Dynasty could occupy the Central Plains, then, as the Mongols who were once almost the master of the entire world, had more reason to occupy the entire China. Although he surrendered to Kangxi at the beginning, he never thought that the Junggar was part of the Qing Empire, because when the Simongos ruled the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, the barbaric Jurchens were still hunting in Changbai Mountains. Why should the Junggars be ruled by the Manchus? Why can the Qing Dynasty take the Ming Dynasty and replace it, and the Junggars cannot? (Some content is excerpted from "Looking at Galdan from another perspective")

Therefore, he successively pacified the three Khalkha Mongolian tribes, shook all the Mongolians in the north of the desert, and fought with the nearby and attacked each other from afar, making a great friendship with the princes and princes of the East Mongolian, thinking that they would go to the future...

However, he now knows that he is wrong!

The Qing Dynasty, which already occupied China, was not so easy to deal with, especially the Qing Dynasty was supported by the powerful Eastern Mongolia!

The reason why he dared to gather a large army and marched to the heart of Ulan Butong, which threatened the Qing Dynasty, was that Zhuo Suotu of Khorqin expressed his willingness to follow his horse and create the glory of the Mongols again. Moreover, when he arrived, in order to show his sincerity, Zhuo Suotu even joined forces with other powerful Eastern Mongolia Khan to siege Kangxi's confidant Lang (Muqin) in Kazuo.

But now he knew that it was just a big scam.

He thought that gathering troops in secret and attacking Ulan Butong would cause chaos in the Qing Dynasty, but he could not react at all. However, just when he defeated the two armies that had blocked his advance, before he could be happy, the 100,000 troops of flying ancient times had already set off in the west; in the south, there were Fuquan's 100,000 troops, and even the later Kangxi Imperial Camp; in the east, the Fengtian Admiral Sabusu was integrating the Manchu troops; in the north, in his rear, the Eastern Mongolian army and the Wolf (Muqin) had cut off his food route and retreat route.

This is like a wall of iron and steel on all sides, which tightly surrounded his 150,000 troops in the middle!
