Without a Trace Volume 10 Shengping Chapter 27 Battle
、、、、、、、
For the millions of military rations sent by the rich gentry in Jiangnan, Prince An naturally couldn't help but be overjoyed. Now the army is stationed here, and although there is no other wear and tear every day, military rations are indispensable. Fortunately, in recent years, the wind and rain have been smooth, and natural disasters are very rare, so the household department is full of money, and even the treasury silver deficit in the provinces is far less than in previous dynasties. Because of this, when using troops, Feng Wufang can have no worries. Today's war is not as good as before, both sides are actually restrained, sporadic harassment continues, but there are almost no battles of tens of thousands of cavalry.
In the handsome tent, Feng Wufang was still pondering the map, and his face became more and more solemn. It had only been since a group of Rakshasa merchants had come five years ago that he had known that the map had been tampered with. Ketu Ce Zero is indeed a generation of heroes, a map is nine points true, one point false, if there is no comparison from others, he is indeed difficult to distinguish. The most infuriating thing is that the places where there are errors are all in the Junggar area, and the rest of the terrain in the south and north of the desert is correct. Whenever he saw this, Feng Wufang couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he hadn't entered the army without permission, otherwise if there was a bad pool, then his sin would be great.
"Lord Qiqi, the enemy army asks to see you!" A soldier hurried into the tent and knelt on one knee.
Feng Wufang commanded without raising his head: "Let him in!" ”
It was Qiu Qingyuan who was sent to the Northwest Army by Feng Wuxian that year, he was originally worried about death, and after escaping from life, he was determined to repay Jun's grace, so he was like a mad tiger on the battlefield, extremely brave, and won the trust of the soldiers of the Northwest Army. Feng Wufang also knew where he came from, so after several battles, he appointed him as the commander of the forward battalion. Specializing in the battle before the battle. Ordinary generals are afraid of this position, but Qiu Qingyuan has been the commander for nine years, and only stepped down two years ago. Xu Gong has been promoted to the title of General Yipin Jianwei, and there is a real shortage of deputy generals in front of the army.
Years of fighting on the battlefield. Qiu Qingyuan has long since taken off his temperament, and the appearance of a son's brother and a guard is long gone. I saw a deep scar on his left eyebrow, which almost hurt his eye socket, which looked particularly terrifying, and the color of his clothes changed from fair and smooth back then to dark and shiny now. Occasionally, a few wrinkles can be seen like knife carvings. He is now Feng Wufang's most confidant, so the matter of riding a horse has always been in his hands.
"Marshal Qiyu, just now the spies from the grassland came to report, and the Dzungars began to move again."
Qiu Qingyuan knelt down on one knee and saluted flatly, and then reported aloud, "The subordinates ordered people to analyze the intelligence of the last two months, and found that there are no less than dozens of tribes in Dzungaria, not only unified the entire Moxi Mongolia, but even several major tribes in Mobei Mongolia have also been threatened. However, it seems that their bribery and co-optation are also progressing. At least seven tribes, large and small, have formed alliances with them, ready to raid the Central Plains together. ”
Feng Wufang smiled coldly, and then raised his head. More than 20 years in the Northwest. Feng Wufang has long been no longer the suave young prince of the year, and the fierce battles on the battlefield have tempered him into a famous general who is indomitable and good at judging the situation. He motioned for Qiu Qingyuan to get up. Only then did he say word by word: "In the past eight years, the imperial court has never used the big sword soldiers, but has continued to send people to encircle the various departments of Monan, and even sent troops to go deep into the Kurten Department and other tribes to station, just for a big war." The Dzungars are too far away from the imperial court, and they often disobey the power of heaven, and the ambitions of the wolf are well known. Since they have launched this time, it is better that our army will not dig them out. ”
He stared deeply at the other map on the wall, and ordered categorically: "You go and pass on the king's general order, and summon the commanders of all battalions to come and discuss the matter!" In addition, send someone to inform General Duan Zhiyuan of Fenwei and ask him to prepare for sending troops to attack. Fortunately, the Holy God today has great trust in us, otherwise I am afraid that this incident will have to boost morale again. You tell all the soldiers that if you can smash the Yellow Dragon this time, the court will definitely greatly praise their merits! ”
As soon as the windless eight-hundred-mile rush report entered Beijing, it immediately shocked the hearts of many courtiers. The Junggar Rebellion has become a major problem for the imperial court, and every time the Lingyun monarchs of the past dynasties sent troops, it took a long time, not to mention, even the results of victory were limited. The battle of Emperor Wanlie was even more earth-shattering, almost extincting the other party's roots, but in the end, it still allowed them to recuperate, which has to be said to be the biggest regret. It has been 14 years since Feng Wuxian ascended the throne, and although there have been many uncertainties due to the implementation of the new policy, it is an indisputable fact that the world is rich, so a war against Mongolia is inevitable.
In the Qinzheng Palace, several ministers sitting upright are the most trusted courtiers of the emperor Feng Wuxian, Prime Minister Bao Huasheng, Prince Lian Feng Wuqing, Shang He Weitao of the Criminal Department, Shang Yue Qianfan of the Household Department, Shang Weijiang Lian of the Military Department, and one is Zuo Jinhuan, who has recently returned from the post of governor of Liangguang. Because of the emperor's deep trust, Zuo Jinhuan was less than forty years old when he added the title of Tirenge University Scholar, and the lower head was directly in charge of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Industry.
"You have also seen Prince An's excerpts, and now the real big war is probably not far away."
Feng Wuxian swept over the courtiers, and his voice became extremely solemn, "I, the kings of Lingyun, have been in Mongolia for many years, but they have never tamed it. If this battle can be successful, not to mention the southern Mongolians, the other departments of the western and northern deserts should also be able to be brought under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. I am going to set up heavy troops at those ends, firstly, as a deterrent, and secondly, to manage some civil affairs, so that it will be even more difficult for them to rebel in the future. ”
Several senior ministers glanced at each other and nodded incessantly. After many years of getting along with Feng Wuxi, they already have a deep understanding of the emperor's temperament and habits. If you want to say leniency, you just kill corrupt officials and corrupt officials without mercy; If you want to say that it is fierce, it is sympathetic to the children of all heroes and important ministers of the court, and it is even more generous than the first emperor. Over time, the few of them also stopped thinking unrealistically. Only by making actual achievements in a down-to-earth manner will the emperor make meritorious contributions and become knights, and now it is no longer the time to judge meritorious deeds by the family.
In recent years, the emperor has continued to promote the sons of the poor family to important positions, and the major famous families in the capital are quite resigned, but the emperor has also spared no effort to promote the children of some families like Zuo Jinhuan, so that they can not find a good reason to advise. Moreover, a raid order made most of the princes and nobles strictly teach their children and grandchildren, and the number of gentlemen in the capital suddenly decreased a lot, and it seemed that the atmosphere was strained. In dealing with those who violated the ban, Xu Chun, the commander of the Nine Gates, was also harsh, and even some children of the royal family were personally sent to the Zongren Mansion by him for disposal. Once a rumor spreads, the detailed work everywhere can also quickly find out the people behind it, so today's capital is barely ironclad.
Seeing that the others were just silent, Bao Huasheng could only cough lightly, breaking the silence. "Your Majesty, the Northwest Battalion has gathered many elite soldiers and strong generals, and it is indeed time for an end. Now that there is nothing to do in the southwest for the time being, the imperial court can concentrate all its energy on the northwest and strive to fight a war. In this way, he will be free to deal with the southwestern provinces in the future. These places are far away from the emperor of the sky, and those tribal leaders often rely on their own forces to fight against Tianwei, if they cannot be brought under the control of the imperial court, I am afraid that there will be a lot of disasters in the future. ”
This is naturally not a high-level building, but as the prime minister in charge of the overall situation, it is not necessary to be different in everything, and some things are better to hold the golden mean first. Bao Huasheng knew in his heart that as soon as he repeated this old tune, someone would definitely follow behind him to refute it. Sure enough, Zuo Jinhuan was still a little young and vigorous after all, and when he saw that everyone else was still thinking, he shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, although the northwest and southwest departments are all small countries and widows, they are not the same as the Central Plains system. ”
Seeing that the wind was traceless, he showed a knowing expression of listening, and he couldn't help but feel a little more confident. "If they are willing to submit voluntarily, then it is the best, and if they are not willing to submit, they will naturally have to use the sword. However, after that, they should be ordered to send all the candidates for the prince to the capital Guozijian, so that they can learn the Central Plains ritual system, so that when they inherit the title in the future, they will naturally unify towards the Central Plains. In addition, the imperial court could also allow civilians of all ethnic groups to live in the Central Plains, so that after several generations, they could integrate into the Central Plains, and there would be no difference between Huayi and Yi. ”
Zuo Jinhuan's words are nothing less than a shock, Confucianism in the Central Plains has always only respected the lord of China, and emphasized the difference between Huayi and Yi, fortunately, although everyone here is a Confucian student, but they don't care about such an extreme set, so they are only slightly surprised in their faces. Even Prince Feng Wuqing was the first to echo: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that what Lord Zuo said is good, the previous emperors of the past dynasties were nothing more than gentle or suppressed a few sets of methods for various ethnic groups, and the strategy of restraint was used too much, and it only had some effect. In the past, even if the people of the various departments wanted to move into the Central Plains, they would be restrained by their masters, but now that our dynasty has strong troops, it is natural that we are not afraid of them. As long as a large number of foreign races enter the Central Plains, their traditions will be broken, and after a hundred years, Xing may all be renamed Han Chinese. ”
Feng Wuxian nodded with a smile, and his eyes were full of approval when he looked at Zuo Jinhuan. He put down the fold in his hand, and then stood up, his eyebrows already bright. "Although Confucianism has repeatedly reminded Huayi of the difference, for me, Huayi is my people, as long as they obey the royal road, the rest can be ignored. What about Yixia mixed life, hundreds of years later, who knows who their ancestors were? In the northwest and southwest regions, there is no shortage of precious mineral veins, these foreigners took these things into the Central Plains, and their lives were only richer, so why should they be limited to a corner of the land? I don't have the luxury of expanding my territory, but I can always carry forward the legacy of my ancestors! ”
The ministers below looked at each other and smiled, and said in unison: "The ministers must do their best to assist the emperor and create a prosperous era of peace!" "Lingyun Zhiwei Without a Trace Chapter 10 Shengping Chapter 27 Battle
