Chapter 65 Chaos
Opposition was ineffective. After preparing for a while, the group set off!
Yu Zhong and Mo Jing, Made and Luo Xin, followed by a Russian old man named Feryaodoro... The goal of advancing: Kangxi's marching camp!
Perhaps the solution was correct, or perhaps Nian Gengyao did not have that idea. After setting off from Fengtian, their team did not encounter any obstacles and went smoothly. However, the group did not dare to relax their guard except for Fedoro who knew nothing. It was not until after passing Korqin, Luo Xin borrowed 800 cavalry with the title of friendship and Prince Gong Changning that they were truly relieved.
Similarly, they also found out in Korqin about the progress of the war between Kangxi and Galdan.
Galdan is a powerful figure who has been in power for more than ten years. He not only fought hard to escape the encirclement of the two armies of Feiyanggu and Fuquan, but also rushed out of the encirclement and attack of Sabusu and Lang (Muqin). Now, he has led the remaining soldiers to leave Eastern Mongolia and run back to the north of Mobei.
However, although he escaped from the siege, due to his heavy losses in military strength, Kangxi had personally led his army to pursue him and vowed not to give him a chance to recover again.
...
After learning about these situations, Yu Zhong and the other four did not care about lamenting that they were going to run a long way, and followed them to chase Kangxi's army.
...
They rushed to the ground for about a month, then headed north and then west, walked out of the grassland, and entered the Gobi Desert. Finally, they caught up with the rear team of Kangxi's army!
...
"Lang Tan? Why are you?"
The four of them wanted to inquire about the news, but they didn't expect that the generals who were leading the back formation were still familiar, and the vice-president of Nebuchu Lang Tan, who had a discount on one of Yu Zhong's legs!
"Tong Yu Du? Princess Jing? Why are you here too?"
Lang Tan did not expect to meet Yu Zhong and his party. After getting to know each other, he was even more surprised... Two women actually came!
When Yu Zhong saw Lang Tan's surprise, he immediately explained the matter. However, he did not say that he had settled the score with Nian Gengyao, but said that Fei wanted Duolo to come to see Kangxi, and Prince Gong Changning sent him to send cannons, etc.
"So that's it! Then you have made great contributions now. The emperor happened to grab a Russian Russian named Yev from Galdan, and was locked up in the imperial camp. Moreover, Galdan escaped too quickly, and we didn't have time to bring the red cannons. Now you send these cannons to use... Tsk tsk, you have picked up ready-made merits, which is really jealous!" Lang Tan said enviously after hearing Yu Zhong's description.
"You're welcome, you're not as good as the credit you earned in real battle..." After hearing Lang Tan's words, Yu Zhong waved his hands repeatedly.
"Fight for life on the battlefield? Come on, man, our general almost lost his official position. Our Heilongjiang army has not fought a few battles at all. Look, even I have come to the back team, so how can I make any contribution?..."
"What's going on?"
"What's going on? Who told us that we were not lucky? When Galdan escaped from the attacks between Feijunmen and Prince Yu, he met Admiral Sa. Admiral Sa ordered General Sunu to be the left wing and General Pengchun to be the right wing, and he attacked in groups. However, General Peng encountered a river blocking the way. After crossing the river, he found that the river bank was several feet higher than the river surface, and his men could not pass. As a result, he missed the opportunity to make meritorious contributions in vain. Instead, he was almost eliminated because of this matter. Since then, we have never gained any chance to go to the battlefield... we can only watch others make meritorious contributions!"
"How could this happen?..." Yu Zhong looked regretful, but he was very happy. Lang Tan broke one of his legs. Although it was caused by him on purpose, he was still very happy to see Lang Tan's unlucky.
"Forget it, I won't say it anymore. The more I talk, the more angry I get! The imperial camp is just over ten miles in front of me. I will send someone to send you there!" Lang Tan seemed to not want to mention these things. Seeing that Yu Zhong had nothing to say, he was not polite and started calling people directly.
Afterwards, Yu Zhong and his party were taken to Kangxi's Imperial Camp by the guide sent by Lang Tan. When they heard that Prince Gong sent him to deliver the letter and brought foreign envoys, the guards of the Imperial Camp immediately reported the matter to their superiors, and their superiors reported to Kangxi.
Then, the person who gave the imperial edict for Kangxi appeared in front of everyone.
"Several people, long time no see, how about you?" Gao Shiqi's face looked a little thinner and pale than before, but he was still full of energy.
"Gao Xiang came to pass the imperial edict in person, but I dare not be the emperor!... Gao Xiang, let's talk about the imperial edict first!" Mo Jing said when she saw that the person coming was Gao Shiqi. After all, she was the most familiar to Gao Shiqi among the people.
"Girl Jing is still so impatient! Haha..." Gao Shiqi smiled and saw that Mo Jing and others were still serious, and they were a little embarrassed. However, he also knew why Mo Jing gave him a look, and was not angry. He just said solemnly: "The emperor has an order. Luo Xin took the Russian envoy to settle down. Then he went to the rear camp to meet the imperial concubine Baori Longmei. In the middle, Ma De followed Gao Shiqi to the camp to see him, and I admire this!"
"Abide by the order!"
After kneeling down and kowtowed, Yu Zhong and others stood up, they looked at each other and followed the people to the place they should go.
...
"Chang Ning asked you to bring this letter?"
Yu Zhong and Ma De met Kangxi with Gao Shiqi. The emperor did not change much from the last time he met, but his face turned a little yellow. However, of course, the two of them would not say anything about it, so they hurriedly presented the letter from Prince Gong Changning to Kangxi. However, what they both did not expect was that after Kangxi carefully read the letter, there was no change in expression on his face, and even the tone of questioning did not change, as if nothing had happened.
"Go back to the emperor, Prince Gong also brought us dozens of cannons..." I don't know what Kangxi was thinking, Ma Dezhezi replied in front of him.
"Archive? Well, Chang Ning said in the letter," said Kangxi suddenly yawning and said, "I am tired today, so it's probably not easy for you to go on a journey. Let's go and rest!"
"Your Majesty..." Why didn't you even react? Could it be that Nian Gengyao had sued his group? Yu Zhong was anxious and couldn't help but shout.
"Okay, you all go down!" Kangxi waved his hand again.
"Two governors have come from afar, so let's go and rest early. When the news from the front army comes, our army may be about to set off again, and there will be no time to rest at that time!" Gao Shiqi saw that Yu Zhonghe Ma De was a little reluctant, and quickly persuaded him.
"...Abide by the order!" Since Kangxi didn't want to listen, Yu Zhong and Ma De didn't dare to say anything, so he had to retreat in a bad mood.
...
"Shiqi, look at this letter..." Yu Ma and his wife walked out of Kangxi's tent, but they did not expect that after they left, Kangxi swept away his tiredness and handed Chang Ning's letter to Gao Shiqi.
Gao Shiqi took it and looked at it, nodded without saying anything.
"I exhausted my energy in front of this army every day, but there are always people who want to make me uneasy. But this person is still my brother. Oh, it's really hard to deal with!" Seeing Gao Shiqi handing over the letter, Kangxi didn't ask him what he thought, but just said to himself.
"Why should the emperor be worried? Prince Gong just wants to serve the emperor... Otherwise, the emperor will send someone to preach the decree and ask Prince Gong to go to Governor Ulan Butong for food and supplies?" Gao Shiqi said.
"Governor's food and grass? Isn't Soetu there now?" Kangxi said.
"Emperor," Gao Shiqi suddenly knelt down and said, "Yuzhong, Ma De has arrived. It should be later than when Suo Xiang sent someone to escort the food and grass. But why did our army's food and grass always come? The emperor, it's not that I intend to frame it, but that your safety cannot be lost!..."
"Enough, as the prime minister, how can you make random guesses? Things are not clear, what if something goes wrong?" Kangxi rebuked.
"Your Majesty, I don't mean this..." Gao Shiqi was not afraid that Kangxi would get angry, otherwise he would not have said the pride of "What should I do if something goes wrong?" This shows that Kangxi himself was also suspicious, but he was just unwilling to say it clearly.
"It's good that's not what you mean, you should step back too!... Go and see Yu Zhong and Made, don't let them talk nonsense!"
"I... obey the order!" Gao Shiqi stood up and walked out with his head down.
"Slow down!" Kangxi suddenly stopped him again.
"Your Majesty, what else do you have?" Hearing the voice, Gao Shiqi hurriedly turned around and asked Kangxi.
"...Shiqi, I know you are loyal, but sometimes you can't be impatient when doing things!... Besides, I am in the army now, in the Gobi Desert, not in the capital. At this time, some things may not be done by the imperial edict! If Chang Ning is asked to go to Ulan Butong at this time, it might hurt him!" Kangxi sighed long, with both comfort and helplessness on his face, but more of them were heartbroken. At this time, he no longer pretended to be calm in front of his ministers.
"...I understand, please rest assured. I will definitely obey the emperor's will and will not do anything randomly!" Gao Shiqi's life has not been short of his time with Kangxi. Seeing Kangxi's face, he felt inexplicably worried about Soetu.
"That's good! You go out first and comfort Na Zhong and Ma De. I can't tell who is right and who is wrong between them and Nian Gengyao for a while. Moreover, Nian Gengyao just captured Musar alive and made great contributions. His reputation in the army gradually became popular. I can't let them confront each other now. Doing so will shake the morale of the army!..." Kangxi said again.
"Yes, I will definitely tell these words to the two governors Yuma and let them stay in the camp with peace of mind!"
"Yes!" Kangxi nodded.
"By the way, Master, haven't we caught a Russian in Galdan camp? Now Fedoro and Princess Mo Jing are here. I don't know when you plan to..." Gao Shiqi asked again.
"No hurry to do this, let's talk about it tomorrow!...I'm tired today!" Kangxi waved his hand again.
