"Yes, I understand the Khan's concerns." After saying this, Hongshi said: "There is one thing, I want to ask the Khan King, that is, those Qing soldiers who have taken prisoners, and ask the Khan King to keep his life and not to kill them." ”

Geldan glanced at him and said unexpectedly, "What's the matter, do you pity those people?" "Although this victory caused them to collect a lot of grain and grass, and it was not a problem to keep these thirty or forty thousand people for a while, he Geldan was not a good man and a woman, and he had only one way to deal with the captives - killing.

Hongshi smiled slightly and said: "King Khan has misunderstood, I am no longer from the Qing Dynasty, how can I pity them, it's just that I just thought of a better way than killing them, and I guarantee that King Khan will like it after hearing it."

After listening to Hirotoki's idea, Geldan agreed to keep the captives for later use.

The 100,000-strong army was defeated, and the Lord would be killed with an arrow, and when the news reached the capital, the court was in an uproar and the people's hearts became panicked. The 100,000-strong army was all defeated in one day and night, and even the main general died.

In addition, they also learned from the soldiers who fled back that the person who defeated Li Shumi was a masked man, who was very familiar with the Qing army's military methods, and could even say that he knew everything about it, if it weren't for this person, Li Shumi's 100,000 army would not have been defeated so badly.

Although the imperial court blocked the news so as not to cause panic in the entire capital, so many deserters appeared in the capital at once, and it could not be blocked at all. Soon, both the court officials and the ordinary people knew that the Qing Dynasty had been defeated, and the news that Junggar was about to invade the capital spread throughout the capital.

As soon as the news entered the capital, Yinzhen urgently summoned the civil and military officials to the Yangxin Palace, asking if there was a way to deal with Zhungeer, and within a few days, the military department Shangshu seemed to be more than ten years old, and said with a sneer: "Your Majesty, the ministers have been transferring troops everywhere in the past few days, but they have only transferred 50,000 horses, and the rest are because of the long distance, at least half a month later, before they can enter Beijing."

Yin Zhen shouted: "Useless things, 50,000 horses, Junggar is attacking more than 100,000 troops, just with these 50,000 horses, how can you stop it." ”

"The emperor forgives his sins!" The secretary of the military department knelt down in fear and said: "The minister has done his best, but there is not enough time, the minister ...... I really didn't do it......"

Yin Zhen interrupted him and said: "I don't want to listen to the three words 'no way', I want you to mobilize more people immediately, you must arrive before Junggar attacks the capital, once Junggar breaks the city, what will be the consequences, needless to say, you should also know." ”

The military department Shangshu knelt on the ground and didn't dare to answer, Yinzhen's request was impossible to achieve, even if he didn't sleep, it was impossible to mobilize more troops.

Yin Zhen took a few deep breaths and said: "Li Shumi was defeated, and the firearms battalion was also destroyed, but the firearms battalion still has a reserve army, and there should be some muskets, so let these people practice day and night." Two days, two days later, I'm going to see results. Li Shumi was defeated, and the 100,000-strong army was defeated, but this time he must not be defeated again, because once defeated, it will be equivalent to the destruction of the country. ”

Yunli said in a deep voice: "It's all the fault of the minister's brother, and it was the minister's brother who mistakenly recommended Li Shumi, otherwise...... The army would not have been defeated so badly. ”

Yin Zhen shook his head and said: "Li Shumi is not wrong, it's just that he encountered an enemy who is more cunning and vicious than him, so he suffered this fiasco, and the masked man ......" In the report submitted to Beijing, he wrote at great length about this masked man who did not show his true face, and it was he who led the fiasco of the army, and also plunged the Qing Dynasty into an unprecedented crisis.

Countless people are speculating about the identity of the mask man, and they can only infer from the fact that he knows the Qing army extremely well, and it can be deduced that he should be from the Qing Dynasty, but the specific identity is always a mystery.

Hubu Shangshu hated and said: "If this masked man is from the Qing Dynasty, why would he help Zhun Geer to trouble my Qing Dynasty, it's really hateful!" ”

Yin Zhen was silent about this, he and Yunli had already guessed the identity of the mask man, it must be Hongshi, but this matter, how did he say it, the prince of the Qing Dynasty, but he helped the foreign country to trouble the Qing Dynasty, such a face, he and the entire royal family can't afford to lose!

At this time, Xiao Wu hurriedly entered the hall and played an excerpt: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report ahead!" ”

Yin Zhen hurriedly said: "Submit it quickly!" ”

After reading the excerpts, Yinzhen said with a strange face: "Junggar is stationed in the Sarik River and has not come to the capital. ”

While the hundred officials breathed a sigh of relief, they also had the same doubt, since Geldan had already won this battle, why didn't he immediately attack the capital, didn't he want to capture the Qing Dynasty? It's weird. But no matter what, this incident gave them a chance to breathe, and gave them time to think about countermeasures, guarding the Qing Dynasty in the stormy weather.

Yin Zhen stared at the military department Shangshu and said, "If you are given another three days, how many troops can you mobilize?" Don't talk to me about the approximate number, I want the exact number. ”

"Huh!" The secretary of the military department wiped the cold sweat on his head and said: "There are now more than 52,000 people in the capital, if there are three more days, there should be 20,000 troops who can go to the capital, plus 20,000 deserters from the front line, a total of 92,000." ”

"Ninety-two thousand,......" Yin Zhen muttered repeating this number, there were more than 100,000 troops in Jungger's attack on the Qing Dynasty, all of whom were good at fighting, and they had already been prepared, and in the case of an advantage in numbers, it was almost impossible to repel them.

"Your Majesty, the Buddha Biao army has returned to help, and there are still less than twenty days away from here, as long as we survive these twenty days, we will be fine. It is better for us to shrink these more than 90,000 soldiers and the soldiers of the Fengtai battalion in the city, and make every effort to block the attack of Dzungar until the army comes to help. Hubu Shangshu's words caused Yin Zhen to sneer for a while, "With the ferocity of Zhun Geer, do you think the capital can be held for twenty days without being captured?" ”

The old man of the household department Shangshu blushed and said: "The walls of the capital have been strengthened for many years, and it is not easy to attack the city and enter the capital, and the minister thinks that he should be able to hold it for a while." ”

As soon as his words fell, Yin Zhen scolded: "But if you think it's wrong, the Qing Dynasty will suffer a catastrophe, if it really comes to that moment, can you afford this responsibility?" ”

Hubu Shangshu hurriedly knelt down, not daring to make a sound, and at this moment, Yinzhen took a deep breath and said: "Sticking to the city is the next policy in the next policy, because there will be no way back; So...... Be sure to go out of the city to fight. ”
