Chapter 182: Rage
"Emperor Qi, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Manbao, has sent news that Zhu Yigui has conquered the whole of Taiwan, Lan Tingzhen, the general soldier of South Australia, was killed in battle, and Shi Shibi, the commander of the Fujian Navy, retreated to Penghu...... Zhu Wei is no longer controllable, please send reinforcements to the imperial court quickly!"
Zhang Tingyu's face was full of sweat, now that the war is unfavorable, he is a little nervous in his heart, in addition to this current reason, more is that Emperor Kangxi's temper is becoming more and more moody.
At the end of his life, there are often some abnormalities in any person, and these abnormal actions may be bound by legislative morality and cannot cause more losses, but for the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, it is by no means ordinary.
Especially yesterday, there was news from Hubei, Fu Erdan's whole army was wiped out, and he himself was captured, this news almost made Kangxi completely lose his mind, he became more and more violent, and beat people to death at every turn, which made Zhang Tingyu a little trembling.
"Ten thousand words are better than one silence." Zhang Tingyu said in his heart, this is his secret to being an official, and he knows that at this stage, if he speaks inappropriately, the consequences will be unbearable for him, so he has no other actions except for reading the excerpt of the full insurance originally.
Just when Zhang Tingyu was about to meet Kangxi's anger, the old man unexpectedly became very calm, he just hummed, didn't say anything more, and waved his hand to let Zhang Tingyu retreat.
Kangxi has never taken Zhu Yigui in his eyes, compared to the Fu Han Army, because no matter how Zhu Yigui jumps, at most he is a plate of Ming Zheng, he can destroy Ming once back then, and now he can naturally destroy it a second time.
But the real threat to the Han army at the moment shocked Kangxi. Just when the 230,000 Qing army was encircled, the other party was like a veteran of chess, taking advantage of the bloat and bulkiness within the Qing army, and preemptively fought a piece of the world, successively eliminating Yang Lin's 40,000 taels of army and the 100,000 Qing army in the east.
Rising star!
Kangxi praised the other party's young general Ning Yu from the bottom of his heart, in his opinion, this person is quite Taizong's legacy, and he is an opponent who can write and martial arts, even when he was young, I am afraid it is difficult to compare.
This is not Kangxi's prestige of his opponent, it is really because what Ning Yu did was like an antelope hanging its horns, but at first glance, it was like this, but the moves were all rushing to their own flaws, and the situation of this battle was reversed.
The current White Lotus Sect and Zhu Yigui only made Kangxi feel a little painful, but the development of the Han Army made him worry, and the news from Hubei and Taiwan were like two grinding plates, crushing his careful thoughts about being a saint one by one. This made Kangxi stay awake all night, and even felt a little disgusted.
At the same time, thousands of miles away in the Forbidden City, I also got the news of the battle report of Jiujiang a few days ago, when I learned that Yongjina's 50,000 troops were annihilated, this news almost made the entire Forbidden City a little silent.
Prince Yong's mansion was brightly lit at this time, and Prince Yong's Yinzhen was playing against the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang, but the chess pieces kept turning over in his hands, but they didn't fall on the chessboard for a long time, and the whole person's mind was almost no longer on the chessboard.
"Fourth brother, the current defeat on the battlefield of Huguang is only for a while, Huang Ama's 100,000 army is still in Huguang, plus the 50,000 horses of the Governor of Nian, even if he can't capture Wuchang, there will be no big problem....."
The person who spoke was the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang, who was in his thirties but looked like a fifty-year-old old man, and the vicissitudes and loneliness in his eyebrows and eyes were almost engraved on his face.
Yinzhen has always been close to the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang, especially a few years ago, the thirteenth elder brother was implicated in the abolition of the prince's case, and suddenly fell from the popular elder brother in front of Kangxi to almost be imprisoned.
"Thirteenth brother, you don't know that although Huang Ama's body is strong, after all, he is old, and he is tired of running around, and the fourth brother is really afraid that Huang Ama will make a good deal on the front line."
Yinzhen's trust in the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang has always existed, so some taboo words were boldly confided, and after speaking, the anxiety in his eyebrows and eyes seemed to have been alleviated a lot.
Yinxiang's early years were too big, and even affected his character, from the original bold and straightforward to somewhat cautious words and deeds, and later after the fall of the Eight Masters Party, he was also given Beizi by Kangxi, and he has not spoken much since then.
It's just that for his fourth brother, Yinxiang is grateful in his heart, and he really doesn't want to see such a scene happen again, so he said politely: "There is a large army on the front line, and I also brought the imperial doctor, in fact, the fourth brother doesn't need to worry too much about the emperor Ama." It seems that there are more important things to do at the moment, waiting for the fourth brother to do. ”
"You mean the firearms battalion?" Yinzhen is not a stupid person after all, he can see through it at all.
"Exactly, before leaving Jingshi, Huang Ama handed over the firearms battalion to the fourth brother, hoping that the fourth brother could make some fuss about firearms. Especially in the recent war report, Chu Shun only relied on the advantage of guns, but the firearms under my Daqing are outdated and backward, and they are not of great use, which gave Chu Shun a chance, and now it is also an opportunity for the fourth brother. ”
Yin Zhen nodded, he put the chessboard into a ball, and couldn't help sighing, "A few days ago, I went up and down in the firearms camp, but I found that the current firearms situation in my Qing Dynasty is really indescribable!" ”
"Originally, when I fought Galdan, my musket artillery in the Qing Dynasty had fallen behind the other party, and the muskets and artillery used were everywhere, and now there is no growth at all, but it is declining more and more, and the hundreds of sub-mother cannons that have been painstakingly built are only more than forty that can be used!"
"If it weren't for the current shortage of craftsmen, this king would really want to chop them alive with a knife!"
Yin Zhen was furious, and couldn't help slapping the table hard, but he injured his fingers and shed blood. But he didn't care about the bloodstains, and just sat down with a long sigh.
Yinxiang was anxious, and hurriedly called the maid to come over to bandage the medicine, and waited until everything was done, and then said in a low voice: "Fourth brother, you can't be in a hurry at the moment, I can see it, this battle between us and Chu Yi will not be able to calm down in a short time, and the fourth brother should be more forbearant at the moment for the sake of the future." ”
Seeing that Yinxiang meant something, although Yinzhen was like a mirror in his heart, he still chose to pretend to be confused, "Right now, Huang Ama is leading the army on the Huguang front, and it is only a matter of time before Chu is wiped out...... It's good that you fourth brother and I can take care of this mess right now! ”
"Fourth brother, you also know what kind of man my thirteenth brother is. My thirteenth brother will say that if the fourth brother is interested in the position in the future, the thirteenth brother is willing to help! ”
