Chapter 85: Yongzheng's Edict
Yongzheng also knew that it was impossible to fight this battle, because if he lost more than 30,000 bannermen in order to exterminate a group of Han horse thieves, then he would not have to be the emperor. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info What's more, war should also pay attention to cost and strategic purpose. War is not judged by the number of enemies killed or by the amount of territory grabbed, but by the proportion between the strategic objectives achieved and the price paid. First of all, in Yongzheng's eyes, more than 30,000 banner people are more useful than Tan Feng, a Han horse thief.
If the price of 30,000 bannermen was paid in order to exterminate the Han horse thieves this time, then such a surprisingly heavy loss was very unworthy. Since this war has been fought to this point, and if it continues to be fought, it will be a heavy loss, and of course they will not be willing to do so.
Yongzheng soon made the same instructions and agreed to recruit security. What's more, if after recruiting An, he can obtain Tan Feng's cavalry training method, as well as the new command method, so that the combat effectiveness of the Manchu Qing can be improved. Yongzheng was also very interested in this new command method, if there was a new command method, it would be helpful for the Manchu Qing to improve their combat effectiveness, and they would be able to better control the Han people in China.
"Send this edict to General Fu Erdan in an expedited manner of eight hundred li, and ask him to read it to Tan Feng, the leader of the Han horse thieves."
In Mongolia, Yongzheng sent an edict in an expedited manner for 800 miles, but in fact, it also arrived quickly. If you really want to rush the 800 miles desperately, then Beijing is not far from Mongolia. The reason for the delay was not because of the delay on land, but because of the delay in the order of processing Yongzheng's official documents. But once the emperor pays attention, everything will become very fast. This was only two days, and the 800-mile attack was quickly sent from Beijing to Fu Erdan.
Fu Erdan asked people to read the edict to Tan Feng.
"Please Tan Feng kneel down to receive the emperor's holy decree!" A literati scribe beside Fu Erdan said.
Because of the urgency of time, naturally a eunuch was sent out without doing so, and it was directly read by the scribe next to Fu Erdan.
Tan Feng took the initiative to kneel down and said, "The criminal takes the order!" ”
Since he is acting, he has to do a full set, Tan Feng is not an ordinary person who is too hypocritical and hypocritical, he has to make it as if he can't kneel. Anyway, since it's a show, it's not indispensable to do a full set, anyway, this is a war, and only the one who has the last laugh in the war will be the winner. There is no need for Tan Feng to put his plan in danger for the sake of so-called face. So kneeling is also kneeling, there is no need to be too hypocritical and say that kneeling is undignified, so deliberately do not kneel.
"Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: 'I have heard ......"
Then he said a lot of nonsense, all of which were accusing Tan Feng, anyway, Tan Feng was not worried, this so-called accusation was actually a joke in the future.
"Nian Qing can get lost and know how to return, I canonized Tan Feng as the leader of the Eight Banners Han Army, and promised to marry the daughter of Fucha Li Rongbao to give Tan Feng as his wife! I hope that the Qing family can serve me, admire! ”
Tan Feng took the initiative to answer: "The minister accepts the order, thank you Lord Longen!" ”
But the scribe replied: "Tan Feng, you will be a member of the Eight Banners Han Army in the future, so you should call yourself a slave!" ”
Tan Feng replied with a smile: "The slave takes the order, thank you Lord Longen!" ”
The scribe handed over the holy decree to Tan Feng, and then left. Tan Feng looked at this holy decree and let out a cold snort.
"Throw me this holy decree into the horse manure pit!" Tan Feng said politely.
Wang Jingwen came out from behind the yurt and asked half-jokingly: "Commander, this time the imperial court directly let you join the Eight Banners Han Army, you are a banner man!" ”
However, Wang Jingwen's tone is obviously full of sarcasm, and she doesn't really think that Tan Feng is a flag man.
Tan Feng replied politely: "I don't have the idea of being a slave for him, if it weren't for the sake of annihilating these Eight Banners soldiers at one time this time, I wouldn't use this method." I'm just trying to get a quick solution, and if it drags on for a long time, it's not in our favor. ”
"We will seize the Northeast next, we can't afford to delay! It's almost winter now, and if we can't completely seize the Northeast before the winter comes, that is, before the fifth year of Yongzheng, we will be very disadvantaged. Once winter arrives, it will become more difficult to get supplies on the grasslands. It's not good for us either, and those Voerdans are counting on such thoughts to trap us. ”
"We are actually the same as the Manchus, hemp rods beat wolves - two are afraid! So they responded with a passive approach to trapping us. But we don't have time to delay with them, we must seize the northeast as soon as possible, with the population resources of the Han people in the northeast, plus the supply of war horses, cattle and sheep from Xilin Gol in Eastern Mongolia, it is enough to make us strong! ”
"Go and prepare for me right away, and then we will evacuate with the Manchu Eight Banners troops. When the time comes, once we get to the northeast, we will start moving immediately. These Manchu Eight Banners are cowering in these Mongolian tribes, and it's really not good for us to attack them. But once they leave the tribe and lose cover, we can still wipe them out quickly. ”
Tan Feng saw those Mongolian tribes, and then said, "Yongzheng, Fu Erdan, do you think you are victorious this time?" No, I won. In this war, I was trying to win the hearts and minds of the Mongolian herdsmen, and now the excessive oppression of the Mongolian nobles has made the hearts of the Mongolian low-level herdsmen belong to me. ”
"But your purpose is to destroy me, but have you really destroyed me? I'm going to show you that you're outdated. ”
Tan Feng once again asked all the staff officers to make intensive preparations from the battle plan to the logistics, and they were ready to start fighting as soon as they arrived in the northeast region. Because the time was approaching winter, they had to seize the whole of Northeast and Eastern Mongolia before winter began, so as to ensure that there was enough time for further preparations. Once the war is delayed into winter, this will be a huge blow to Tan Feng, who lacks logistics.
Winter on the prairie isn't so fun! As long as you can seize the First World War to seize Northeast China and Eastern Mongolia before winter, it is the Manchu Qing Dynasty, not Tan Feng, who is so embarrassed, because winter warfare is a taboo for soldiers in ancient times. As long as the Northeast and Eastern Mongolia are captured before winter, the Manchu Qing will be very passive in the strategic situation, and the Manchu Qing will inevitably suffer heavy losses in the winter battle, on the contrary, if Tan Feng can end the war before the winter, it is equivalent to giving the Manchu a pot of the strategically unfavorable situation, and he can take the opportunity to further mobilize his personnel and reserve troops.
