Negotiations, especially those involving specific terms, are never easy, even if both sides have full sincerity of cooperation, but because of the conflict of each other's positions, it is impossible to hit it off, the determination of each clause must have to fight countless rounds of rhetoric before it is possible to reach a compromise, which has nothing to do with friendship, nor sincerity, but the conflict of interests between countries, but no one dares to give up lightly, it is obvious, the half-day time limit given by Hongqing is not enough at all, Even if the willingness of the two sides to cooperate is strong, it is impossible to reach an agreement in such a short time, in fact, this arduous negotiation was delayed for three days before a framework draft was really formed, as for the specific implementation rules, they are still in a blank state, but Hongqing does not intend to continue, and the implementation rules are postponed until the Kingdom of Great Britain has gained a foothold in the Strait of Malacca.

On the first day of August in the first year of Chengde, Hongqing went to this chapter on the results of the negotiations with the envoys of the Kingdom of Great Britain, and submitted the framework agreement reached with the other party to the imperial front, the emperor did not make a clear statement, but urgently summoned the ministers of military aircraft to discuss it, but the discussion was returned, Emperor Chengde still did not express his position, and afterwards, the draft agreement was handed over to the court, and it took nearly half a month to toss before Hongqing's request.

Although half a month is not a long time, it is really not a short time, is the draft negotiation agreement really that heavy? Of course not! In the eyes of Emperor Chengde, the value of that thing will not be higher than a few pieces of straw paper, as for what is related to the interests of the society, the interests of the Eight Banners and the like, in fact, they are just some high-sounding excuses, so it drags on and on, and there is only one purpose, that is, to delay the time for Hongqing to return to the army as much as possible, if it were not for the news of changes in the northwest, such a worthless agreement would have to be approved by Emperor Chengde, to say the least, it would have to be half a year later.

For the small people of Shengdou or the low-level officials in the court, the war in the northwest for more than seven years has just passed, although the Qing Dynasty has not achieved a real victory, but it should also be the Dzungar departments are almost consumed, at least in exchange for several years or even more than ten years of peace, but in the eyes of the well-informed best officials, the northwest chaos is just a matter of time, all that is missing is when it breaks out, there is no other, don't look at the Northwest War for more than seven years, the Qing army in the north and south of Xinjiang to come and go, seems to be very majestic, There have been a lot of wars, but in fact, it didn't hurt the bones of the Dzungar tribes at all, but the Qing Dynasty itself cost a lot, if it weren't for the support of the Ministry of Industry and the "Eight Banners Firm", the Qing Dynasty's finances would have collapsed long ago, and now, the main force of the Qing army entrenched in the sandbar has long been withdrawn, and the northwest forces have been emptied, not only the Dzungar tribes will make a comeback, but even the Luobzang Danjin, who has always been dependent on the Qing Dynasty, is ready to move, and the rebellion in the northwest is not far away!

On August 17 of the first year of Chengde, the Mongol prince Chahan Danjin, who ruled the southeastern region of Qinghai, secretly reported to Beijing, saying that Lobzang Tenzin had secretly formed an alliance with Arabutan, and received a large amount of arms and baggage assistance from the Dzungar Ministry, and even secretly agreed with the presiding monk of Ta'er Monastery to raise a flag against the Qing Dynasty, and the temples and Tibetan tribes in Qinghai were bewitched, and the chaos had appeared, and asked Emperor Chengde to send troops as soon as possible to quell the chaos.

Speaking of Emperor Chengde, he was also a person who had fought a war, when the old man Kangxi personally conquered the battle of Dzungar for the third time, he participated, of course, did not lead the troops to the front line, just served by the old man's side, and later, he led the troops in Henan to suppress the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect, but when it came to the military strategy, it was only a half-level, fortunately, it was still a little self-aware, and did not meddle in the preparation for war, but hurriedly let Hongqing go back to the Fengtai camp to reorganize the army, Later, he sent Chang Shou, the right attendant of the Li Fan Yuan, to urgently rush to Chahan Torohai (where the camp of Lobzang Tenzin is located) to mediate, trying to delay the rebellion of Lobzang Tenzin.

Although Emperor Chengde's response measures are not very brilliant, they can be regarded as decent, especially the arrangements for the general mobilization of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War are quite good, but it is a pity that he still underestimated the determination of the rebellion of Lobzang Danjin Chang Shou Fang arrived in Chahan Torohai, he was taken down by Lobzang Danjin on the spot, although he was not killed, but he was completely placed under house arrest, and then, Lobzang Danjin convened the Qinghai Erlute Mongol Taiji on the first day of October, and met in Chahan Torohai to incite troops against the Qing Dynasty, Ordered all departments to restore their original titles, no longer called king, beyler, beizi, duke and other titles, and called for the rebuilding of the hegemony of the ancestor Gushi Khan, and Luo Buzang Danjin called himself **** Hongtaiji to command the ministry.

Lop Zang Danjin raised the flag, Ta'er Monastery presided over the Lama Chahan Normen Khan immediately came forward to respond, and immediately, the monasteries and Tibetan tribes in Qinghai have raised troops to respond, in less than a month, it has gathered more than 200,000 people, and the Mongolian prince Chahan Danjin, the county king Erdeni Err? Ketok? Several Mongolian princes such as Tuo Nai expressed their resolute opposition to the rebellion of Lobuzang Danjin, and gathered troops and horses to prepare for war with Lobuzang Danjin, but unfortunately the preparations were not ready, and the army of Lobu Zang Danzin had already been killed first, and the opponents were wiped out one by one in half a month like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves. Ketok? Tuo Nai died in battle, Chahan Danjin was only spared, and led several guards to flee to Laoyaguan in embarrassment, so far, Qinghai Province fell into the hands of Luo Bu Zang Danjin.

As soon as the news of the fall of Qinghai spread, the government and the opposition were shocked, and the voice of the war was raised, whether it was officials or ordinary people, all of them were calling on the imperial court to send troops to quell the chaos as soon as possible. As for the original counterinsurgency departments, they have just withdrawn to the provinces, and the rest has not yet been completed, not to mention rushing to the front again, Emperor Chengde was anxious, and had to urgently summon Prince Yong Yunxiang and Prince Ren Hongqing, who were in the Fengtai camp to form an army, into the palace to discuss countermeasures.

"The younger brother (son) knocks to see His Majesty (Huang Ama)!"

Emperor Chengde has called, the old thirteen and Hongqing did not dare to slack off, after explaining the whole army, they rushed to the imperial city in the snow, handed over the invitation to see the card for a short time, and it was already the mouth of Emperor Chengde Yunjian, accompanied by Li Dequan, who came to announce the decree, and went to the palace of nourishing heart speechlessly, only to enter the hall, I saw that Emperor Chengde was not sitting on the dragon bed, but standing in the hall, leaning over a huge copy, the copywriter put a large map on it, and Zhang Tingyu, Ma Qi and other military ministers were surrounded by it, Obviously, they were discussing the chaos in the northwest, and when they saw this, the old thirteen uncles and nephews did not dare to slack off a little, and rushed forward one after another, and they all bowed and paid homage.

"Excuse me, just settle down."

Hearing the sound, Emperor Chengde immediately raised his head, glanced at Hongqing's uncle and nephew with a tired face, and called out in a hoarse voice.

"Your Majesty Xie (Huang Ama) Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Since Emperor Chengde called out, the three calls for long live are the proper meaning of the title, but there is nothing to say.

"How is the new army reorganized?"

Emperor Chengde has been extremely tormented for most of the past half a month, without him, the pressure of the war between the government and the opposition is huge, but there are no troops in his hands, and the current worry is not how to quell the rebellion, but how to resist the possible offensive of Luo Buzang Danjin, but the partial life of the martial arts is mediocre, and there is no person who knows how to do it, and he has been discussing for many days, and he has not been able to come up with a proper response charter, which really makes Emperor Chengde so worried that he can't swallow, it has only been half a month, Emperor Chengde is obviously haggard and not old, If it weren't for the fact that he really couldn't think about it, he wouldn't have summoned the old thirteen and Hongqing back at this critical juncture in the formation and training of the new army.

Hearing Emperor Chengde open his mouth and ask about the progress of the new army, Hongqing's uncle and nephew couldn't help but feel a little resentful in their hearts, no side, if it weren't for Emperor Chengde's small actions, the new army should have been trained almost, but at the moment, it is still far from having basic combat effectiveness, you must know that the training of the army is not just as simple as changing clothes, nor can it be finished by going out of the drill and walking in the queue, even if there are 12,000 elite new troops to lay the foundation, but under the sudden expansion of ten times, the combat effectiveness of the army is not only not rising, but it is greatly reducedIf the various departments want to run in smoothly, it is obviously difficult to do it without more than a year, and even if it is to form a preliminary combat effectiveness, it will take more than half a year of training to complete, as for this seemingly huge army at present, in fact, it is really useless.

"If you go back to Your Majesty, the progress is still going well, but it has been snowing heavily recently, and the various departments are inconvenient, and it may be better after the beginning of spring."

Although his heart was full of resentment, Emperor Chengde opened his mouth to ask, but the uncle and nephew couldn't help but answer, and after exchanging glances with each other, the old thirteen came forward and gave a vague answer.

"Well...... in this way, it's spring, and it's hard for this new army to come in handy, right?"

Emperor Chengde is a shrewd person, although the old thirteen said vaguely, but Emperor Chengde understood the meaning inside, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he looked at the old thirteen and Hongqing worriedly, and asked a question with dissatisfaction.
