The second elder brother Xiao Hongyi, who is less than one year old, is studying hard while the autumn is cool.

Although I didn't know Weishenme, in June this year, my reborn father, Emperor Fulin, suddenly issued an edict to the Zongren Mansion, saying: "I think: study Han books, enter Han customs, and gradually forget the old Manchurian system." At the request of the Ministry of Rites of the former Quasi-Sectarian Mansion, a sectarian school was set up to allow the children of the clan to study in it. Because of the dispatch of people to teach the full book. Those who wish to study Chinese books should listen to their own convenience. Now that you have studied the book, you can translate all kinds of Chinese books and watch and play. He will never stop studying the books of Chinese characters, and he will study all the books. Er Yamen preached. ”

After thinking about it, Hongyi always felt that it must be his own Huang Ma Ma behind him. Although it has been decreed that the children of the clan are not allowed to study Hanshu again, but Chinese characters are not forbidden, so it is bitter that the two old eunuchs left in the former Ming Palace in the "attendant team" were "reported and exposed" by Xiao Gongzi, Hongyi often asked them to teach themselves Chinese writing (of course, traditional characters), and forced them to prepare two folk legends and anecdotes in the Ming Palace every day, so as to understand the humanistic common sense at that time.

In this way, in addition to Su Mala coming to teach Manchu and Mongolian every day, Park will also "teach" some basic daily Korean colloquial language every day (at that time, the common Korean script was Chinese characters, but there was no need to learn those "Hangul letters"), and gradually the traditional Chinese characters finally began to get on the right track, completely reversing the situation of "only guessing but not writing". Hongyi really feels that he is moving forward bravely on the broad road of "multilingual talents", and if he can go back in the future, he must show off in front of Xiao Ai!

Almost every day after studying, Hongyi has to sit in the arms of Park or Sun, and go out for a walk according to his own wishes. How can a child who is under the age of one study so hard? Naturally, the little prince wanted to go out to play, and as soon as he commanded, a group of eunuchs and palace maids were immediately put in place. So, Hongyi went to Cining Palace every once in a while to find Huang Mama to play for a long time, in order to promote the love of his ancestors and grandchildren, and by the way, he inquired about some major events in the dynasty, and naturally "by the way" to see his reborn mother, the poor Concubine Kang.

Originally, the mother was not allowed to see her son, but it was not said that the young children who were not yet ignorant were not allowed to run to see their mothers by themselves! There is also the abolished concubine, Hongyi took the initiative to meet a few times, although I don't know if his biological mother was "grounded" has anything to do with her, but out of the inexplicable curiosity of the **silk youth in later generations about the "abolished queen" and the various relationships between himself and the Borzigit clan in this life, Hongyi still took the initiative to attack. Naturally, under the established tactical attack of "hugging", the "half-grown girl" Concubine Jing fell smoothly, and every time she saw the little brother, she would hug her and let him "rub the oil". is the so-called perverseness of Concubine Jing, in the eyes of Hongyi, it is really the straightforwardness and innocence of a girl, so the two of them are playing happily, and their relationship is deepening...... Of course, it is the relationship between the "mother" and the "baby" that is getting deeper!

Autumn goes to winter, and it is already the winter moon of the eleventh year of Shunzhi (the eleventh month of the lunar calendar). At this time, the eight-month-old Hongyi can already run around, although his arms and legs are still baby configurations, and he can't stand his own intentional "overclocking", in the eyes of the Queen Mother, it happens to be a "toddler" ignorant appearance, but it is becoming more and more cute.

On this day, the little brother Hongyi came to Cining Palace uninvited, and the queen mother asked some common words in Manchu and Mongolian, and Hongyi still responded in a simple way of four words and one sentence. Hongyi was sitting on the queen mother's lap, raising his hand to feed the queen mother a mouthful and eat a bite himself, when the emperor also came.

"Erchen greets the emperor's mother!" Seeing Hongyi's presence, Fulin hesitated for a moment, but still made a big bow - kneeling. Hongyi knew the young emperor's thoughts, and he also slipped off the empress dowager's lap in advance, and threw himself into Su Mala's arms several times to avoid the emperor's gift.

"Why is the emperor here again today?" The Queen Mother asked with concern while shaking off the dim sum scum left by Hongyi on her body.

Seeing his youngest son flashing to the side with interest, Fulin got up from the ground, sat firmly on the palace stool brought by the palace maid, and said: "Erchen read some of the inscriptions of the Ministry of War, and his heart was irritable, so he came to the emperor to ask for some food." ”

When the queen mother heard this, she smiled and motioned to the palace maid to present the newly added dim sum plate to the emperor, and quipped: "The emperor has all the opportunities, it's good to stop here at the mourning house for a while, and try Su Ma's craftsmanship!" ”

Fu Lin picked up a piece of osmanthus cake from the plate, nodded to Su Mala and said: "Su Mala's osmanthus cake is my favorite, when I was young, I pestered Su Mala to beg for this food!" ”

"The master made fun of you, you are the Son of Heaven, no matter what, the slave and maid have to bring it to you, how dare you bear the word 'begging'? . It's just that at that time, the master often counts nine cold winters to enter the osmanthus cake, forcing the slave and maid to have no way, so every year in August when the osmanthus is in full bloom, he personally picks and stores it in the freezer, takes out some of the bitter water every month, and soaks it with honey, which makes this osmanthus cake now. Su Mala also hugged Hongyi while talking eloquently.

"It's hard work Aunt Su Mala!" Fu Lin was relieved, but there was no follow-up, just lowered his head and took a small sip of snacks.

The queen mother looked at the emperor and didn't speak, waited for a while, and didn't mean to leave, so she asked: "The mourning family shouldn't have been concerned about the government, but seeing that the emperor seems to have something difficult to solve, you might as well tell Eniang to listen to it, and let's discuss it with the two of us." ”

"It's still the emperor's mother who feels sorry for her son." Fu Lin hurriedly put down the snacks in his hand, and didn't care about taking the handkerchief sent by the palace maid, so he got up to thank him, and then said while returning to his position: "The inscription of the military department originally reported that those Rakshasa [1] bandits who were defeated by Ningguta Angbang Zhangjing Sha Erhuda this summer", and after the autumn, they met another group of bandits who had entered Sakhalian Ula[2] (Heilongjiang) from Nebuchu, and after the two armies merged, they were ready to spend the winter on the Humar River [3] on the right bank of the upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River. The bandits also built city defenses, trying to resist our Qing Eight Banners with strong defenses. Erchen couldn't think of anyone who could lead the army to go to suppress for a while, so he came to ask the emperor for advice. ”

"It turns out that this is the case, the emperor can choose among the Manchu and Mongolian ministers in the court who can recruit those who are good at fighting." The Empress Dowager already had an idea in her heart, but she had to wait until the emperor himself said it.

"Erchen has a candidate, but he was just belittled by Erchen last year, and now he is entrusted with a heavy responsibility, I am afraid that he will ......" Fu Lin hesitated, looked at the Queen Mother, and stopped talking.

"The mourning family knows, the emperor is talking about the Mongolian Zhengbai Banner Gushan Ezhen [4], the first-class Ada Haha Fan and the Tuosha Lahafan [5], Ming Andali, right?" The Empress Dowager deliberately emphasized this person's title, and when she saw the emperor nodding, she continued: "In February last year, the Sitaiji Department of the Mongolian Khalkha Department Tushetu Khan led the troops back, and at that time, Ming Andali was still in the post of the secretary of the military department, right? He knew that Andali was an old Mongolian man who lived in Horqin[6], so he was naturally not kind to the tribes of northern Mongolia, so he wrote to the court to take precautions. Just in time for Ren Zhen, the chief soldier of Xing'an (now Ankang, Shaanxi), to return to Beijing with illness, but he disposed of his family members **, killed many people without permission, and bribed the second department of military punishment. The emperor was also a little anxious, so he accused Ming Andali of the crime of 'sitting on the chief soldier Ren Zhen to kill without permission', and directly dismissed him from the post of Shangshu [7], and demoted him to the first-class Ada Haha Fan and dragged Sha Lahafan, who had no position and became an idler. Now when employing people, it is no wonder that he has made a big move. Seeing that the emperor continued to nod his head and showed guilt, the queen mother said:

"Well, the old bones of the Borzigit clan of the Mourning family can't help but come forward, for the sake of the Qing Dynasty and the emperor's foundation, the Mourning family wants to see if there are any people in the Mongolian tribes who don't give this face! Su Ma, this is called Ming Andali's immediate entry! ”

Hearing the words Borzigit, and thinking of Concubine Jing after the abolition, and the queen who is now hanging in the main palace, and then looking at his imperial mother, Fulin was a little deflated all of a sudden, this Mongolian tribe is really "inseparable"! Alas......

Su Mala put down Hongyi in his arms and went to the door to make arrangements. As a student majoring in international politics, he had long been concerned about the erosion process of Tsarist Russia's early encroachment on the Siberian Far East, and this Humar River and later Nebuchu and Yaksa had long been a piece of his heart, especially for the upcoming small-scale battle called the "Battle of Humar" in later generations, so it was clearly and clearly sent to him, and he must not miss the opportunity! We must lay a big wedge for our possible "pro-government" Sino-Russian relations! So, Xiao Hongyi also began to plan carefully.

After a while, about an hour, Ming Andali "hurried" to Cining Palace. Hongyi took a closer look at this Mongolian general: burly, round-eyed, not angry and self-assured, it is indeed the standard equipment of a battlefield general, especially in the current situation of some indignation, there is a kind of majesty, so that the emperor has to give up a few points.

"Ming Andari." The Queen Mother summoned in Mongolian.

"The minions are here!" Huo Ran, a Mongolian man who had already sat down and secretly breathed himself, got up and returned in Mongolian.

"Your father Bo Botu fought the world with Taizong, but died early in Jinzhou City, and now it has been 18 years, every time the mourning family thinks of it, zaijian to you, it is sad in my heart......" With the Mongolian language like a song, the queen mother's tears flowed down.

"The Queen Mother, the minion...... The minion ...... "The Mongol Khan here has long been unable to cry.

"Do you know that the world of the Great Qing Dynasty is the world of my Manchu and Mongolian families, and the Emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty is also the Bogda Khan of my Mongol tribes of Southern Mongolia, Northern Mongolia and Moxi Oirat (i.e., Warat)[8]! Without Mongolian warriors like you, there would be no Dingding Central Plains of the Qing Dynasty, let alone the Qing Dynasty's expansion of territory and dominance in the world! The Queen Mother continued.

"The slave knows that the slave is a slave of the Qing Dynasty in life, and a ghost of the Qing Dynasty in death!" Ming Andari immediately swore an oath.

The Empress Dowager quietly motioned to the emperor, and Fulin quickly stood up, walked in front of Ming Andali, and helped him get up with both hands.

"The Emperor's ......"

"I know that you are wronged, and I know that your heart loyal to the Qing Dynasty is like the sky of the grassland, clear and boundless! Last year's events were indeed abrupt...... "Fu Lin also relieved in Mongolian.

"Your Majesty, the death of a slave is not enough to repay the grace of the mighty emperor......" Ming Andali was finally moved and changed to a howl......

Hongyi, who was sitting on the kang, watched the mother and son perform together with relish, and was really admired, but he did not forget his "old plan", so he waited for the opportunity to move and actively intervene.

"I want to order you to be the general of the expedition to the north, and to command the Eight Banners to go to Heilongjiang to conquer the Rakshasa bandit army, what does Aiqing think?" Blessing will be accepted when it is good.

"The minions must wipe out those barbarians! Please rest assured that the emperor and the queen mother! "Ming Anda Reshi looked satisfied.

"Good! Let those Rakshasa thieves know how powerful my Mongolian warriors and the Eight Banners of the Great Qing Dynasty are! "The Queen Mother is also a Xuanyu.

Seeing this scene, Hongyi knew that he should make a move - "There is enough ammunition and food, things are sandwiched, you can't retreat lightly, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and sacrifice prisoners at noon!" In the atmosphere of getting along with the monarch and the ministers, and sharing the same hatred, the murmuring Mongolian language surprised them, and they all looked back at the baby sitting on the kang!

"The little emperor grandson of the mourning family, what did you just say?" With the experience of strategizing and outwitting the Zheng family during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were not very surprised, but Ming Andali was shocked into a cold sweat, and immediately respected this little prince who was already able to speak and spoke Mongolian, because each of the five Mongolian sentences was very reliable, very reasonable, and even more mysterious......

"If you don't have enough ammunition and food, you can't be trapped for a long time, and you can easily withdraw your troops, and there will be endless troubles in the future." Hongyi still played with the dim sum in his hand, no one looked at it, just bowed his head and said Mongolian.

"And what's the stuff flanking?" Fulin asked.

"Jidu [9] commanded his troops, took the North Sea (that is, Lake Baikal), cut off his retreat, and intercepted his troops."

"Kejidu's troops still need to go south to suppress the Zheng clan?" Fulin asked.

"Dedication to the remnants of loyalty, intending to commit crimes in the east, the Zheng clan defects, and the southeast will surrender." Hongyi is full of confidence. Seeing this situation, Fulin no longer asked, anyway, the last strategy is almost time to see, once the Zheng family does not fall, you will be a good-looking little hairy child!

"Why take the North Sea?" The Queen Mother asked.

"In the seventh year of Chongde (1642), Taizong's holy edict: Yu Zhang inherited the cause of Emperor Taizu and was blessed by heaven since his succession. From the northeastern coast (the Sea of Okhotsk) to the northwestern coast (Lake Baikal), the land of dogs and deer, and the land of black foxes and sables, do not farm, fish and hunt for a living, and the Erut tribes, and even the source of the troubled rivers, and the nations of the far and wide, are in submission."

Hongyi blurted out and recited an old saying of Huang Taiji, secretly feeling that the hard work of the past few months had not been in vain, and he also saw the surprise and praise in the eyes of the queen mother and the emperor. After all, no one dares to give up lightly.

"Forgive the slave for being stupid, please show the little brother. What about this 'not to retreat, cut the grass and eradicate the roots'? Seeing that the queen mother and the emperor were so obedient to the little prince, it was Ming Andali's turn to ask about the specific tactics.

"The thief city is strong, it can't be attacked, it is besieged layer by layer, shelled and arrowed, the birds don't come out, no one can escape, the fierce battle for a hundred days, the thief will surrender himself, capture the bandit leader alive, and sacrifice prisoners at noon!" Hongyi suddenly looked up at Ming Andali, and then said heavily: "There is enough ammunition and food, and if you retreat, you will humiliate the country!" ”

was staring at Ming Andali who Hongyi was secretly thinking about, and when he saw the decisive look in the eyes of this little baby, he didn't care about any etiquette, he was stunned and his knees were weak, so he knelt down in front of Hongyi, and said honestly: "The slave will never give up, and he will never dare to humiliate the country!" Be sure to prepare enough food and grass projectiles, fight for 100 days, and take the bandit leader to sacrifice outside the noon gate! ”

The queen mother and the emperor looked at each other, and they really couldn't say anything short of Hongyi's strategy. Then let this god-given auspicious little guy arrange this war thousands of miles away in advance, and if he fails, he will know that what "big weapons are made early" is all nonsense; If it succeeds, it is still the prestige of the Qing royal family! After all, it's just a barren land far away in the sky......

In Hongyi's heart, the place called the Humar River leads to the vast Siberian snowfields......

A month later, on December 21, the 11th year of Shunzhi [10], he ordered the Mongolian Zhengbai Banner Gushan Ezhen Ming Andali to be the general of the expedition to the north, and commanded the officers and soldiers to go to Heilongjiang to conquer the Rakshasa bandit army; ordered Ningguta Angbang Zhangjing Sha Erhuda to lead the army to reinforcements and work together to encircle and annihilate the bandit army; With Jidu as the great general, he led his army to the valley of the Selenga River, one hundred and fifty miles southeast of Beihai (Lake Baikal), and set up a garrison in Ulan-Ude [11]. The Rakshasa Expeditionary Force (if the hundreds of bandits and explorers in military uniforms are counted) is unwittingly caught under siege by the Qing Empire......

[1] i.e. Russia. Rakshasa, originally meaning Buddhist term, refers to the evil ghost that eats human flesh. During the Yuan and Ming dynasties in China, ethnic Russians were called "Rus" or "Rakshasa State". According to historical data, in the early Qing Dynasty, it was also called "Rakshasa" to Russia. It was only later that Sino-Russian diplomacy became frequent, and at the request of the Russian side, it gradually evolved into "Russia", which is somewhat similar to the meaning of "Seoul" changed from "Seoul" a few years ago. What about the translation of weishenme into "Russian"? AT THAT TIME, WHEN MONGOLS SPELLED THE RUSSIAN WORD "ROCIA" IN MONGOLAN, THEY ADDED A VOWEL IN FRONT OF THE "R". THEREFORE, "ROCIA" BECOMES "OROCCIA", AND WHEN TRANSLATED INTO CHINESE, IT BECOMES "RUSSIA".

[2] In Manchu, "Sakhaliyan" means "black" in Han and "ula" means "river" in Han. This refers to "Heilongjiang".

[3] Huma River, a large tributary of the upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River [right bank], is located in the northwest of Heilongjiang Province. In the Qing Dynasty, it was called "Humar River" (also written Humar) and "Kumar River", which was later shortened to the present name. The Huma River Reserve includes the Huma River and its coastal hills, mountains, swamps and alluvial plains, the Huma River originates from the area of Dabule Mountain and Boula Mountain on the northern slope of the Great Xing'an Mountains, and the Heilongjiang River system has 118 first- and second-class tributaries, with a total length of 3,357 kilometers and a basin area of 76,085 kilometers. There are many kinds of rare and endangered wildlife in the waters.

[4] Official name. Gushan, Manchu, translated as flag in Chinese. Ezhen, also Manchu, is the chief of a banner, managing the household registration, production, upbringing, training and other matters of the whole flag. At the beginning of the flag, the flag owner has jurisdiction over all the affairs of the whole flag. In the eleventh year of the Mandate of Heaven (1626) of the Later Jin (Qing Dynasty), Huang Taiji set up Gushan Ezhen, who was the military and political chief of the banner, although the meaning was the same, but there was a subordinate relationship with the owner of the banner. In the seventeenth year of Shunzhi (1660), the official position of the Eight Banners was called by Han, and Gushan Ezhen was the capital.

[5] Both are Qing names. In the fourth year of Shunzhi (1647), the name was set, and in the first year of Qianlong (1736), the Chinese characters were set as the light car commander and the cloud cavalry captain, and the Manchu text was the same.

[6] It belongs to southern Mongolia.

[7] The time of the return of the Sitai Ji led by Tushetu Khan of the Mongolian Khalkha Department and the time of the "Ren Zhen Case" are consistent with the official history, and the author has made a small logical arrangement.

[8] "Bogda", which means "god" and "spirit" in Mongolian. In April 1636, 49 large and small lords of 16 tribes of Mongol in southern Mongolia presented the honorific title of "Bogda Chechen Khan" (Emperor Kuanwen Rensheng) to Emperor Taiji of the Qing Dynasty, and collectively submitted to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Later, successive Qing Dynasty emperors were called "Bogda Khan" by the Mongol tribes.

[9] Prince Jian Jidu, the second son of Jierharang, was born on June 24 in the seventh year of Tiancong, and was named the king of Jianjun in February of the eighth year of Shunzhi, and was named the prince of the world in September, and was appointed as a general in October of the ninth year, and was awarded the general of Yuanda in November of the eleventh year, and went out to Fujian to fight against Zheng Chenggong, until the division returned to Beijing in March of the fourteenth year, and in May he was knighted and changed his title to Prince Jane. On the first day of July in the seventeenth year of Shunzhi, he was only 28 years old. It is said to be pure.

[10] This is true of the canonical history.

[11] Kangxi shijie history apocryphal, if only the official history would be good, woo!
