Chapter 130: The Second Expedition to Galdan
With two sons and a daughter in one breath, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen is in a great mood this year, and he has a little more smile than before. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen's happy mood is not over.
It has been the thirty-fifth year of Kangxi, and a major event happened in the Qing Dynasty this year, that is, the emperor wanted to drive the royal army to conquer Galdan.
In fact, there was an omen before this incident, after all, the soldiers and horses went first before the grain and grass were moved, and the emperor held the hot Nanyuan military parade, and it was impossible for people not to know. Naturally, everyone was talking in private! Powerful and capable people couldn't help but plot in their hearts how to rely on this war to gain some benefits for themselves.
The last time the emperor drove his own expedition to Galdan was in the twenty-ninth year of Kangxi, when the elder brother was still young, so only the eldest elder brother Yinchu followed the emperor to conquer Galdan, although there was no meritorious service or even a crime, but the qualification of the eldest elder brother Yinchu is also the only one among the elder brothers, which is also the confidence of the eldest elder brother Yinchu to be in charge of the military department, who let none of the other elder brothers go to the battlefield.
This time it's different, the elder brother at the bottom has grown up and become an adult, and some sons have popped up several, this kind of good thing of competing for qualifications is naturally impossible for the eldest brother to dominate, and they are gearing up to get a piece of the pie in the matter of the emperor's royal conquest of Galdan, for which all kinds of means come out, in addition to making people recommend themselves in the court, some people have taken the route of pinching.
Although the fourth elder brother Yinzhen didn't take any action, he was still very concerned about this matter, and he also wanted to compete for some qualifications and prepare for the future king. But looking at this posture, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen couldn't sit still, after all, that position can be regarded as a wolf with more porridge and less porridge, he has no connections in the court, and the important ministers of the court look down on him, and the people who are good friends with him can't speak in the court, and the only thing that the fourth elder brother Yinzhen can rely on is Concubine De.
If the fourth elder brother Yinzhen and Concubine De had a gap in each other's hearts in the previous life, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen would not go to Concubine De for help even if she was in a hurry, who knows if she really helped or did she help. However, in this life, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen thought that the relationship between him and Concubine De's mother and son was still good, so he went to find Concubine De.
Of course, with the temperament of the fourth elder brother Yinzhen, he will definitely not say it so clearly, but as a smart person, Concubine De Niangniang still heard the meaning of the fourth elder brother Yinzhen's words, and agreed without saying a word, so that the fourth elder brother Yinzhen can just rest assured and go back and wait for the news.
Concubine De agreed so neatly, but it was beyond the expectations of the fourth elder brother Yinzhen, after all, the relationship between mother and son is very harmonious now, but in the end, there is a filial piety queen in the middle, and the fourth elder brother Yinzhen also because Concubine De will only vaguely agree, and will not say anything affirmative, but I didn't expect the reality to be like this.
Seeing the happy and excited look on the face of the fourth elder brother Yinzhen, Concubine De was very happy, and felt that her efforts to win over the fourth elder brother Yinzhen in the past few years had not been done in vain.
Of course, Concubine De dared to agree like this, not because she wanted to win over the fourth elder brother Yinzhen, nor because the emperor revealed some gossip to her, but because of the current situation. Before the emperor was going to the Nanyuan military parade, the crown prince Yinren was not worried about the eldest brother Yinzhen and the third elder brother Yinzhi and the fourth elder brother Yinzhen were forced into it, and now he is going to the battlefield to establish solid military merits, and the crown prince Yinren is naturally not qualified to go to the battlefield as the crown prince and only sit in the capital, but he definitely doesn't want to see the eldest brother Yinren take the only part of the military merit like before.
So what about it?
The only solution, just like before, is to stuff a few brothers together, and with someone on the side to share military merits, the eldest brother Yinchu is naturally not the only one.
The other concubines are not sure, but now the third elder brother Yinzhi and the fourth elder brother Yinzhen, who are the right and left hands of the crown prince Yinren, have a ninety percent high probability of following the emperor to conquer Galdan.
The first is because they are the right and left hands of the crown prince Yinren, and occasionally they can barely represent the prince; the second is because the two are the eldest sons of the emperor's heirs, if they are not qualified to go, then the other elder brothers are all washed and slept, think about the relationship behind those elder brothers, Concubine De does not think that the emperor will do things that are angry with the public; the third is because the third elder brother Yinzhi and the fourth elder brother Yinzhen are both people who have sons, if there is really a ...... Anyway, no one will be smashed.
It is precisely with these reasons that Concubine De dares to say something like that, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen is a mess, in fact, with his IQ, it can be completely analyzed, but as long as things involve themselves, people will always be stupid to varying degrees.
Sure enough, in the first month of the first month, the emperor sent an edict to the military department to formulate 16 military orders and promulgate them, indicating his determination to defeat Galdan! In this personal expedition, more than 60,000 Chinese troops were in one battalion, with the emperor as one battalion, the eight banners of the forward army of the second battalion, the eight banners of the guard army and the cavalry of the sixteen Ying, the eight banners of the Han army firearms battalion and the gunner battalion of the four battalions, the left wing of the Chahar soldiers of the second battalion, and the Xuanhua and Gubeikou green flag soldiers each with one battalion.
On February 30, Kangxi led the middle route soldiers to set off and conquered Galdan for the second time. Through Shahe, Nankou and Huailai, Dushikou rises on the tenth day of March. The crown prince Yinren sat in the capital prison, and the eldest brother Yinren participated in the war with the army, and the emperor seemed to have decided to completely solve Galdan this time, so he almost brought almost all of the adult elder brothers, which was regarded as opening a small stove to give his sons a chance to make military achievements. After all, seeing that some sons even have children, it is really not good-looking to be a single brother on his head, so the emperor is ready to let his sons earn some military merits this time to prepare for the knighthood in the future.
Therefore, in addition to the eldest brother Yinzhen and the Minister of the Interior, Suo Etu, who led the military aircraft of the imperial battalion forward battalion, the other sons of the emperor also assigned tasks, the third elder brother Yinzhi palm inlaid with the red flag, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen palm with the red flag, the fifth elder brother Yinqi palm inlaid with the blue flag, the seventh elder brother Yinyou with the yellow flag, and the eighth elder brother Yinyu with the blue flag.
Originally, everyone thought that it would be good to get a position with them, but they didn't expect to get such a big surprise, because holding the flag is a very important thing for the Manchurians. The emperor's order is equivalent to dividing the banner owners, and it is also equivalent to giving them real power. The rights of the flag owner are very large, but all the flag owners, this flag person is equivalent to other people, and his clothes are also equivalent to his minions, so that these princes really have their own connections.
The emperor played this hand very well, not only giving the capital to the brothers below, but also distracting the eldest brother Yinzhen and the crown prince Yinren, who were originally tit-for-tat, and began to be afraid of the younger brothers below.
