Chapter 299: The Emperor personally conquers Junggar
The first month of the thirty-fifth year of Kangxi's reign.
The emperor issued an edict to personally conquer Galdan.
As soon as the news came out, people from all walks of life took action.
First, the eldest brother, who had been released from the ban, kept talking loudly in the court.
Every time at this time, the prince couldn't help but say: "My eldest brother is so sincere, I can only understand."
"But Dafujin is pregnant with Liujia. If the eldest brother is traveling far away, I would be worried about him."
"The prince wants to care about you but he can't."
"My elder brother is right. I want to follow Ama Khan and serve you as a horse and a horse."
Everyone knew that the emperor wanted to keep the prince to supervise the country.
Even Suo'etu persuaded the prince to obey the arrangement.
Supervising the country is undoubtedly the emperor's great trust in the prince.
However, out of distrust of Suo'etu, the prince went to the emperor with all his heart and begged to accompany him.
The emperor never responded.
On the second day of February, Emperor Kangxi sent Crown Prince Yinreng to offer sacrifices to Dashe and Daji.
This basically established the situation for the crown prince to supervise the country.
The prince never mentioned joining the army again.
The third elder brother, the fifth elder brother, and the remaining seventh elder brother, eighth elder brother, and ninth elder brother are all seriously striving to join the army.
Only the fourth elder brother had just returned from Yunnan and Guizhou. Less than a month after being reunited with Si Fujin, he had to prepare for the expedition again.
As early as a few months ago, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry began to prepare for the expedition.
Mobilize troops and horses, recruit a large number of Mongolians who are familiar with the situation as guides, and carry 5-month rations with the army.
According to the standard of equipping each soldier with one civilian husband and four horses, a huge transportation team was formed, with 6,000 grain transport carts equipped to transport food and equipment with the army.
Prepare a large number of cold and rain-proof equipment, and prepare a large amount of wood and branches to prepare roads when crossing deserts and swamps.
The fourth elder brother was so busy that his feet never touched the ground.
Originally, an elder brother could only follow his own flag, serve as a grain and grass officer, and come back with a layer of gold.
It can be considered that the mission has been successfully completed, and everyone has achieved military merit.
However, Si Age was successful in promoting high-yielding crops in Yunnan and Guizhou, and he was appointed as the deputy general grain and grass officer. He was actually responsible for logistics.
Ma Qi, the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, knew that he was capable and did not let him fish in troubled waters at all.
Every day when Fourth Brother returns to the house, he is so tired that he lies down directly.
Finally, when the day of departure was about to begin, Brother Si realized that little Fujin was a little too calm.
She was as calm as the night before when he came back from Yungui. Her excitement and initiative seemed fake.
The next day was the day of the expedition.
That night, Lu Pheasant put on a practice banquet.
At first, Si Age remembered that Xiao Fujin was too drunk and advised her not to drink.
"Master, you are leaving again, why don't you allow me to have a small drink?"
Such aggrieved look greatly satisfied Si Age's heart.
Little Fujin still couldn't bear to leave him.
It was just a good concealment before.
So, the couple had a drink.
Lu Zhi also got drunk quickly. She lay in Brother Si's arms and said, "Master, you have to go out."
"I want to go out too."
Fourth Brother was surprised and said: "Where do you want to go?"
"Go to Yunnan and Guizhou."
"Didn't I tell you?"
"Although Mr. Lao Shisan is watching the promotion of high-yielding crops in Yunnan and Guizhou, he is generally inseparable."
In fact, Lu Zhi was thinking that she had never been to Yunnan and Guizhou in her previous life. Of course, Baiyue was not yet developed at that time and she had never been there.
To live a new life, of course, we cannot miss the opportunity to travel to the great places of our motherland.
The fourth elder brother understood immediately.
Practice is false, behead first and report later is true.
It’s also difficult for Xiao Fujin.
According to her temperament, which she dared to hide from him before, she did not tell him the truth after he left Beijing.
Does this count as progress in disguise?
Seeing that the young lover was sullen and refused to answer, Lu Zhi immediately started to act rude: "Sir, if you are not at home all year round, can't I take the opportunity to go out and help you?"
"Yunnan and Guizhou are remote, and the folk customs and customs are not yet civilized. If you go alone, I am worried about your safety."
"So, if I were to go to a civilized place like Jiangnan, you would agree?"
"You can consider it."
Brother Si didn't notice at all, but as soon as Xiao Fujin acted coquettishly, his tone softened a lot.
Back again and again.
Lu Pheasant continued to make moves: "Eni and Eni agreed."
"She said that she lives in a deep palace and is not allowed to leave even half a step. If I can take a walk outside for her, it would be a kind of filial piety."
"Eni loves you so much. No one in the palace knows it."
Seeing little Fujin pouting, Fourth Brother had no choice but to ask, "Are you determined to go out regardless of whether I agree or not?"
"Yes, I just want to go to Yunnan and Guizhou."
"Yungui is great. The matsutake in Yungui is fragrant and delicious!"
"But now it is where you can cultivate the best high-yield crops. If you go there, they will treat you with potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn that you are tired of eating."
"Then I'll eat matsutake secretly, and there will always be a way."
"But if you don't go, there's nothing you can do."
"Master, I can't stay in this capital for a day without you."
This sentence is undoubtedly a killer.
Brother Si had no choice but to retreat and sighed: "Do you want me to be on the front line, worrying about the war and your safety at the same time?"
"What's there to worry about?"
"The Emperor is wise and mighty."
"We are fully prepared this time and it is another just battle."
"Nagardan's energy has been exhausted. This time, the emperor will definitely be able to capture him."
"As long as you go out safely and come back safely, that's it."
"Me too, I will go out safely and come back safely."
"Master, don't worry."
Fourth Brother sighed deeply and began to plan to leave more secret guards for his little Fujin.
The next day, the emperor worshiped heaven and earth, and the army raised its flag and set off for battle.
Sent 100,000 troops and attacked in three routes: from the east, Heilongjiang general Sabusu led 9,000 troops across the Xing'an Mountains and marched westward.
On the west route, Fuyuan General Dong E Feiyanggu (note not the biological father of the heroine) and Zhenwu General Sun Sike led 46,000 troops respectively from Guihua and Ningxia, crossed the desert, met at Wengjin River, and then headed north.
Kangxi personally led the 34,000 Central Route Army out of Dushikou.
The eldest elder brother, the third elder brother, the fourth elder brother, the fifth elder brother, the seventh elder brother, and the eighth elder brother accompanied the army and commanded the eight banners.
On the front foot, the army went out to fight and left Beijing in a mighty manner.
On the back foot, a small team also set off from the back door of Si Age's mansion.
All the way out of the city gate, heading southwest.
The capital is more than a month away from Yunnan and Guizhou, and Lu Pheasant has to come back before the army returns to Beijing, so he doesn't have much time.
In June, the army will return.
Even though she had spent all her money, it was only enough for her to go to Yunnan and Guizhou and back, and she could not visit a few more places.
However, Lu Pheasant was already satisfied with this journey.
The sky is high and birds can fly.
Lu Zhi, who had been jolting along the carriage all the way, and three days after his seizure, began to miss the high bed and soft pillows in Beijing.
However, after death, people will sleep forever.
She would rather be stuck like this than living in the underworld.
