When Tan Feng was carrying out reform and naturalization in the steppe of Eastern Mongolia, the Manchu court was also completely shocked by a piece of news. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info They said according to some stragglers in Zhangjiakou that Zhangjiakou was actually broken by a group of Han horse thieves, and then this group of Han horse thieves even looted, almost the entire population of Zhangjiakou, and some useful gold and silver were robbed. All those high-value and light-weight goods in Zhangjiakou were all looted. Such news completely made Emperor Yongzheng furious!

"Bastard, rice bucket! Those Mongolians are all rice buckets! 10,000 people, 10,000 troops were all defeated by more than 1,000 Han cavalry? Even if it's 10,000 pigs, it can't be so easy for those Han people to hunt down and kill, right? Emperor Yongzheng scolded.

When Emperor Yongzheng saw the news, he was immediately very angry, which made him angry. 10,000 Mongol cavalry, even if a large part of them are temporary militiamen, but that's 10,000! The Mongol cavalry of 10,000 people was defeated by about one-tenth of the Han horse thieves, and even almost completely annihilated? Even the Han horse thieves ransacked Zhangjiakou, which is simply a big joke in the world!

Of course, Yongzheng didn't know that Tan Feng also wore a big green hat for his future heir Qianlong, and his future genuine daughter-in-law has been surnamed Tan since then.

"Your Majesty, the minister begs the emperor, send troops immediately, send troops immediately! Lao Chen's brother Li Rongbao and Lao Chen's niece were all robbed by this group of Han horse thieves. Lao Chen's brother Chahar Governor Li Rongbao, that is my Qing Dynasty's dignified three-grade master! The Sanpin master, as well as his son and daughter, were actually snatched away by a group of horse thieves. That's really ...... But it's really ......," Ma Qi immediately knelt down and pleaded.

Yongzheng hurriedly said: "Ma Aiqing, get up!" You are the elder of the two dynasties, get up! ”

Ma Qi was really sad this time, this Li Rongbao was his younger brother, and his nephew Fu Heng and niece were also robbed. As for his niece, maybe she was insulted by those horse thieves. This made him feel very embarrassed and painful, they Fucha were the nobles of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, a famous surname of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but there were many concubines and officials. But now he was snatched away by a group of horse thieves, which made him lose face.

"Your Majesty, please see that our Fucha clan has been loyal for the sake of my Qing Dynasty for generations, please order an army to fight against this group of horse thieves, right?" Marzi said.

Yongzheng hurriedly said: "Ma Aiqing, get up, get up!" ”

"Your Majesty, if you don't send troops, then the old minister won't get up!" Marzi said.

Yongzheng can't, this Ma Qi is the Fucha clan, and the Fucha clan is the surname of the Manchu elite. Although there are many Manchu surnames in the Manchu Dynasty, there are not many influential ones, that is, those few, and the Fucha clan is one of them.

What's more, this Ma Qi's status is not low, he is the minister of prime minister's affairs set up by Yongzheng himself, almost one of the ministers of the auxiliary government, and his status is even higher than that of ordinary bachelor prime ministers, and Yongzheng also has to give some face.

"That's it, I will immediately order the troops, Ma Aiqing rest assured! These horse thieves are too rampant, how dare they be so arrogant? not only ransacked Zhangjiakou, but also captured my Qing Dynasty Sanpin and his family, my Qing Dynasty will never allow them to be so rampant! Yongzheng said.

Someone soon asked: "Your Majesty, how many troops will I send to the Qing Dynasty this time, and who will lead the troops?" ”

However, someone said: "Your Majesty, according to the performance of Yue Zhongqi, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, the northwest Jungar is not peaceful, so it is not suitable to transfer elite soldiers from the northwest!" ”

"Your Majesty, I think you don't need to transfer elite soldiers from the northwest, these Han horse thieves are just a group of horse thieves in the final analysis. Even if they managed to defeat the Mongols, so what? It is impossible for them to really occupy the Mongolian steppe. On the steppe, the Mongols are the real masters, and even if they barely occupy Chahar, so what? They are horse thieves after all, and they are unpopular after all. Therefore, as soon as the king of the Qing Dynasty arrives, those local Mongolians will also take the initiative to eat pot pulp to welcome the king! ”

"Your Majesty, second! The custom of these Han Chinese horse thieves was destined to be unpopular in Mongolia, and their numbers were too small to be able to rule Mongolia. I think that as long as a small number of people go to conquer, the local Mongols will take the opportunity to support Wang Shi, and then successfully strangle the thieves together. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thought that this time they could defeat the Mongol cavalry of tens of thousands of people, but it was just a fluke. How long can this fluke last? So I think that the elite soldiers of my Great Qing Banner have arrived, and they will inevitably fail. At that time, the Mongols within them will rise up to support the king, and they are horse thieves after all, how can they be our opponents? ”

Everyone begged Yongzheng not to send elite soldiers from the northwest to go to the expedition, to deal with these Han horse thieves, isn't it overkill to use elite soldiers from the northwest? So just directly transfer not so elite, and don't need too many soldiers, just directly transfer some ordinary soldiers.

They also believed that the local Mongols would not submit to the rule of the Han Chinese, and should choose to support the Manchus. After all, the Han people are Han people, and it is impossible for the Mongolian steppe to rule for a long time, which is the result of the unanimous opinion. They all quickly made a decision, that is, to send a small number of troops to defeat these Han Chinese. When those Mongols heard that the Manchu "Wang Shi" was coming, they would naturally take the initiative to cooperate with the Wang Shi to exterminate the thieves.

Yongzheng immediately said: "Okay, pass the order, let our Heilongjiang general Fu Erdan, who is outside the pass, join the bannermen and soldiers under the three generals to exterminate this gang of Han horse thieves." The flag people outside our customs should also move their muscles and bones, otherwise the long-term peace will also be rotten! ”

"Slaves obey!" A eunuch replied.

The order of the emperor, Yongzheng, was quickly drafted into an edict, which was transmitted along the Shanhaiguan Pass to the northeast Heilongjiang. This time, Yongzheng ordered the Heilongjiang general Fu Erdan to lead the banner troops in the northeast to exterminate the Han people and horse thieves.

These high-ranking Manchu officials once again made the mistake of empiricism, and they still subconsciously regarded the Han people and horse thieves as weak. Even think that this time the defeat of tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry is also an accidental phenomenon, not normal.

Of course, this empiricist error was not unique to the Manchus, and even the entire Manchu court, whether Manchu or Han, thought so. This is a historical experience, the Han cavalry in history could not defeat the nomadic cavalry. In terms of quantity, it seems that no dynasty surpassed the nomads in terms of the quality of the Han cavalry. In many cases, the Han people also took advantage of the abundant resources and large population, and fought more against the nomads against the nomadic cavalry. But in the real equal number of confrontations, there has not been a single victory.

So, empiricism kills people!
