Yin Zhen said in a gloomy voice: "In their opinion, as long as the entire Qing Dynasty is defeated, there is no benefit, and Tsarist Russia was not willing to sign the "Sino-Russian Nebuchu Treaty" back then, and the thief's heart for my Qing Dynasty has never stopped. ”

"Your Majesty, the top priority is to immediately send troops to support Yaksa, and not to let Tsarist Russia cross the northeastern border, otherwise it will only be more difficult to force them back." This is Zhang Tingyu's opinion, and Yunli also strongly agrees with this, "Yes, there is Yue Zhongqi on the Junggar side, and he can hold it for a while, but there are no suitable generals on the Yaksa side, and the troops are insufficient, so it is difficult to cause an effective attack on Tsarist Russia." ”

Yin Zhen also had this idea in his heart, and looked at the military department Shangshu and said, "How many troops are there that can be used now?" ”

"There are less than 200,000 troops that can be used immediately, but they are scattered everywhere, and the minister can use 800 li to expedite them, so that they can rush over immediately. The rest will take time to gather, about two months, and about 300,000 can be gathered. "In fact, these two months are already the time for the military department to grit his teeth and say it, after all, it is not easy for 300,000 people to be gathered in two months."

Yin Zhen couldn't help but say: "I give you a month, and after a month, I will see an army of 300,000 people." As for the 200,000 in the early stage, they rushed to Yaksa as fast as possible to resist the attack of Tsarist Russia. ”

"Your Majesty, who will be sent to command the army of 200,000 people?" Zhang Tingyu asked, relying solely on the guards of Yaksa, not to mention whether he is still alive, with his ability, he is absolutely not qualified to lead this 200,000 army.

Yin Zhen was silent, for a while, the choice of this person was really a little undecided, the commander of the army must not only have bravery, but also have absolute courage and strategy.

At this time, Hongli stood up and said: "Emperor Ama, Erchen begs to let Erchen rush to Yaksa with these 200,000 soldiers, and Erchen will definitely defeat the Tsarist Russian army that invaded my Qing Dynasty." ”

As soon as his words fell, Hongyang also arched his hand and said: "Huang Ama, Erchen is also willing to go with the fourth brother, Erchen believes that he will definitely be able to win this battle!" ”

"Nonsense!" Yin Zhen couldn't help but scold: "Is it child's play for you to fight, if you don't know anything, you will say that you can definitely win." Such blind self-confidence can only suffer a big loss when the time comes. ”

Hongli said unconvinced: "Huang Ama, the ministers are not blindly confident, but they are indeed confident. Although Erchen had never been on the battlefield, he also knew that if he lost confidence from the beginning, even if his troops were several times that of the enemy, it would not be useful. ”

Hongli said: "Huang Ama, the sons swear that they will live up to my prestige in the Qing Dynasty!" ”

Yin Zhen snorted coldly and said: "Although the two of you are passable in martial arts, but you have no experience in fighting, how can you lead the troops, if you make the soldiers die innocently, can you afford it?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Hongli hurriedly explained: "Huang Ama misunderstood, and Erchen asked himself if he had never been on the battlefield to kill the enemy, so everything he learned was learned from the book, how dare he dare to lead the army, Erchen just wants to go out with the army, and he can have the opportunity to kill the enemy with his own hands." ”

"On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, and he may die at any time, the two elder brothers are the body of a daughter, how can they risk their lives." It was the Buddha who spoke, and he stepped forward and knelt down and said: "When the first emperor was alive, the minister once accompanied the first emperor to the east and the north, and he could be regarded as killing countless enemies. Now Tsarist Russia has violated the treaty signed with the former emperor, which is really shameless, and he asked the emperor to allow his ministers to lead troops to Yaksa. ”

Yin Zhen did not speak, looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, the Buddha standard is undoubtedly the more suitable one, not only on the battlefield, but also has the experience of commanding.

After a long time, Yin Zhen slowly spoke: "Now the DPRK and China don't know much about the situation in Yaxa, although there are 200,000 troops, they may not necessarily be able to defeat Tsarist Russia, and even risk their lives, are you really willing to go?" ”

Buddha Biao said sonorously and powerfully: "Your Majesty, the minister is a person of the Qing Dynasty, and it is the duty of a courtier to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and the minister believes that he will not lose to those red-haired devils." ”

Yin Zhen got up and said loudly: "Okay, when the time comes, when I return victoriously, I will personally set up a banquet for you." ”

Buddha Biao knelt down excitedly and said: "Thank you, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!" ”

After they finished speaking, Hongli said: "Emperor Ama, the ministers implore you to follow Lord Buddha Biao on the expedition." ”

Yin Zhen glanced at him, and said lightly: "It's enough to have a Buddha standard, you stay in the capital well, during this time, the military department and the household department will be very busy, in addition to the errand of the ministry, you also have to watch more on both sides, and so is Hongday." ”

"But ......" Hongli was about to say more, Yin Zhen had already glared at him and said, "No, do you hear clearly?" ”

Faced with Yinzhen's cold tone, Hongli and Hongday could only bow their heads helplessly and agree, but they were somewhat unwilling in each other's hearts.

After all, all along, whenever there is a war, the army has not moved, and the grain and grass have gone first, which shows how important the grain and grass are in the march and war.

After the next court, Hongday returned to Prince Bao's Mansion with Hongli, and as soon as he entered the main hall, Hongday put his top on the table and complained: "I don't know what Huang Ama is thinking, but he has to let us stay in the capital." ”

In comparison, Hongli was much calmer, and after sitting down in the chair, he said: "Huang Ama is also for the good of you and me, after all, we have no experience in going into battle to kill the enemy, and it will be bad to follow him." ”

"Having said that, it's not the same thing to stay in Beijing like this all the time, especially at this moment when the enemy is in the abdomen, and Junggar colluded with Tsarist Russia to be so despicable, I really want to destroy them with my own hands."

"There will be a chance, but what we should do most at the moment is to take care of the affairs of the military department and the household department, and ensure the delivery of grain and grass as soon as possible, which is related to whether we can win the war."

"That's all it can be." Hongshi said helplessly, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly said again: "How is Hongshi's side, has there been any movement recently?" ”

"No, it's very peaceful, except for the occasional walk in the manor on the outskirts of Beijing, I stay in the Dingwang Mansion, and I don't see any problems."

Hongshi frowned and said: "I always feel that Hongshi is not such a quiet person, so I should pay more attention to these things, and don't be careless." ”

Hongli took the tea and took a sip and said: "Even if you don't say it, I will pay attention to it, this second brother is full of scheming, but he is not an easy person." ”

Hongyang nodded and said: "Do you say that he will ask Huang Ama to lead the troops, they all say that fighting is the most meritorious service, if he can win a few battles, maybe he will be in the eyes of Huang Ama again like that time in Henan." ”
