Chapter 749: The hearts of the people are panicked
Among them, the most worried is Wen Ruyan, Zhun Geer raised troops, then Han Yan, as the princess of the Qing Dynasty, would be the first to bear the brunt. If the Khan king Geldan went mad and did something cruel, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The more Wen Ruyan thought about it, the more worried she became, and she went to see Yinzhen several times, wanting to know the news about Hanyan, even if it was just a few words, but Yinzhen had only seen her once, so let her go back to the palace and stay alive, don't think about it. As for the situation of the smoke and whether there will be anything, there is no mention of it.
As time passed, the news about Zhungar kept coming, it turned out that Junggar didn't think of being in the same breath with the Qing Dynasty, and the so-called harmony and designation of the emperor's concubine was just for the purpose of temptation. Geldan knew very well that under normal circumstances, with the usual strong attitude of the Qing Dynasty, he would never agree to the concubine and his relatives, and the daughter of the sect was the biggest concession.
But this time the Qing Dynasty actually agreed, and coupled with the fact that Guo Luoke's war was undecided, Geldan keenly judged that the Qing Dynasty was now taking care of itself, and it was the best time to raise troops. Moreover, the Qing Dynasty thought that after making peace, the two sides would be safe and sound, and the border guards would be loose and vulnerable.
As Geldan expected, the border guard was no match for the army of Zhunger, and even when the army had already arrived in the city, the guard could react. As for the outcome of the battle, needless to say, overnight, the city gates were broken, the army was defeated, and they fled and were captured, and as for the people in the city, they all fled with their families overnight.
Geerdan's goal has never been a princess, nor a wealth, but the entire Central Plains; He wants to repeat the same situation as the Qing troops entered the customs nearly a hundred years ago to seize the great tomorrow and seize thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.
This news reached the capital on the first day of the first month, Yinzhen overnight, and now Yunxiang and others are just to discuss countermeasures, Nian Qianyao and Yue Zhongqi are stuck to Guo Luoke's side and cannot be used, right now, who else in Beijing can lead troops to the enemy.
Someone proposed to give it, but Yinzhen did not allow it, and they all warned the ministers not to mention it again in the future; Then Yunxiang automatically asked for help, but Yinzhen was worried about his body, so he didn't allow it either.
After vetoing two in a row, the ministers could not put forward a suitable candidate, and in the face of the foreign rebellion, they could not find a general who could quell the rebellion, which made Yinzhen Longyan furious, and said that if he really couldn't find a candidate, he would take the royal expedition in person, vowing to pacify Zun Geer and capture Geerdan, a perfidious and despicable villain.
The ministers hurriedly knelt on the ground to plead guilty, and then discussed in the middle of the night, and decided to use Yun Yu and Yun Yu, and ordered them to lead the left army; Song Kejin led the right army to conquer Geerdan.
Song Kejin is Yue Zhongqi's right-hand man, he was temporarily transferred from Qinghai, and he was originally the most suitable to transfer Yue Zhongqi, he has experienced a hundred battles; Helplessly, Yinzhen ordered him to set up a set for Nian Qianyao before, but now it is the time to close the net, and he can't move easily, otherwise his previous efforts will be wasted; It can only be levied by his subordinates.
However, Song Kejin is also a strange person, he was originally a nobody, in the battle of Luobuzang Danjin, with countless military exploits to kill the enemy, he became Yue Zhongqi's deputy general.
The army did not move, the grain and grass went first, and at the same time as the whole army, Yinzhen ordered the household department, all the officials below the self-Shangshu, to fully support this expedition, and must ensure that the grain and grass are sufficient.
After the loss in the autumn, there was no continuation of the drought, and the grain and grass were barely supplied, but the household department Shangshu told Yinzhen that the grain and grass could support at most two months, if two months later, the rebellion was undecided, and there was no good news from Nian Qianyao's side, there would be a situation where the supply of grain and grass could not be supplied, and then there could only be one of the two, otherwise both sides would be dragged down.
In any case, the left and right armies set off smoothly to conquer Jungar. Yin Zhen didn't trust Yun Zhen and the two of them to lead the troops, because Song Kejin had another secret mission in addition to conquering Zhun Geer, which was to monitor Yun Zhen's left army and control him when he had any changes.
In terms of the ability to lead troops, Yun Yu is not as good as Yun Yu, who has been leading troops all year round, even if two people are added together, they are not as good; However, because of this, Yinzhen was relieved to let them lead the troops, otherwise once they misbehaved, it would be extremely troublesome to clean up.
In addition, there is also a lot of news that the envoy who entered Beijing to seek relatives was Geldan himself, in order to personally investigate the truth of the Qing Dynasty in order to decide whether to send troops, and there is no way to know whether the news is true or false.
In the spring of the third year of Yongzheng, the military situation came in the capital continuously, and the conquest of Zhun Geer was not smooth, Geerdan was scheming, and even Song Kejin was not his opponent, coupled with the shortage of grain and grass supply in the back, the left and right road armies were continuously defeated, and the Qing army's external strength and cadres were also seen by Geerdan, taking the opportunity to go south, all the way in, so that the atmosphere in the capital and even the harem was also filled with tension, so everyone was discussing this matter, lest Zhun Geer would not know when he would enter the capital.
In desperation, Yinzhen finally agreed to temporarily raise taxes, but he also ordered the state capitals and county governments to post notices that as soon as the rebellion was put down, the people's taxes for the next year would be immediately reduced.
Under such a policy of appeasement, nothing happened about the increase in taxes, and with the silver grain, the matter of levy could naturally continue. And after Yunxiang recommended himself many times, Yinzhen finally agreed to his request, and he took over the left army and joined forces with Song Kejin to conquest. At this time, the Qing army was once again defeated, and Geldan was already close to the Saric River, less than sixty kilometers away from the Beijing Division, and the capital was under martial law. If Yunxiang can't win this time, then the capital will become the last line of defense against Geldan, and if it fails, the capital will change hands.
The people in the palace were panicked, and they didn't have the heart to appreciate the good spring, so they couldn't help but let the palace people around them inquire about the news to see if Geldan had come in again.
They are in the harem, they have long been accustomed to the glory and wealth, once the army is defeated and the city is broken, they will be displaced, or become prisoners, such a life is unimaginable.
The only one who doesn't care about these is Wen Ruyan, she is bent on knowing the news of Lu Dao Hanyan, the more she wants to know about Lu Dao, the more she can't know, Han Yan has completely disappeared from everyone's sight, and now the army is in chaos, the battle is not stopping, there is no way to investigate.
As for Ling Ruo, he was worried about Yinzhen's body in addition to Zhungeer, since the news of Zhungar's invasion came, he had never set foot in the harem, and he had never seen him in the past two months.
I hated Yinzhen's ruthlessness in my heart, but I still couldn't let it go after all, I was afraid that he would be blindly busy with government affairs, not caring about his body, not eating on time, and hurting his stomach, which was not very good.
And the news I got from Sixi is indeed like this, Yinzhen has hardly eaten a meal for so many days, when he was so hungry that he couldn't stand it, when he let the imperial dining room get a few dishes at will, and then make do with a little food.
