Chapter 242, a false alarm
Since Fukang'an was revealed, the seventh princess really hasn't walked out of the bamboo forest courtyard for a long time, let alone come to her.
Alas, I'm afraid I'm going to be rusty.
On the border of Yunnan, good news has already come. The eldest brother Fu Ling'an worked hard day and night, and went to his post in less than a month, taking care of rest, he reorganized his troops and horses, took the lead, and exterminated the Burmese bandit deputy general Ha Guoxing, and won the first battle. And it was transmitted back to Beijing in a hurry of 600 miles.
Winning the first battle was expected.
In fact, the Yunnan border rebellion is not new to this year. It is only because in the past few years that His Majesty Qianlong has focused his energies on pacifying Zhungear and the size and Zhuo, the border Burma troubles are only "banditry" and are not repeated.
Later, when Jungar was pacified, and Daxiao and Zhuo were also settled, His Majesty Qianlong deliberately set about cleaning up the Burmese bandits who were constantly harassing him while he was on his bed. However, Liu Zao and Yang Yingju, the two governors of Yunnan and Guizhou, were not good at fighting, and they failed everywhere in dealing with the Burmese bandits, one committed suicide in defeat, and the other was given death by His Majesty Qianlong.
His Majesty Qianlong himself was also angry, and simply appointed the young and brave Fucha Mingrui as the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and transferred Fu Ling'an to the Yunnan frontier as the chief soldier, so that the two cousins could lead the troops and horses and fight on two roads.
Ying Yue couldn't help but sigh, cousin Mingrui had just passed the age of establishment, and her eldest brother Fu Ling'an was only twenty-eight years old! But they are already feudal officials, with heavy troops in their hands, and I don't know how many people are envious and jealous.
But this battle is really a tough bone to gnaw. One is that the Yunnan border is densely jungled and the terrain is complex, and those Burmese bandits have long been familiar with the environment and terrain, but the Qing army is all northeastern men, and they went to the humid and hot Yunnan border to fight in the hot summer, and they must not adapt to the water and soil.
However, Mingrui, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, soon fell into an excerpt, saying that when the general soldier Fu Ling'an marched to Mubang, he suddenly fell seriously ill, and this battle, he had to withdraw all the way to the army, and Mingrui's army also had to retreat to Yongchang City.
Fortunately, the Burmese bandits are best at mountain and forest warfare, and they are not good at attacking the city, so they mainly refuse to accept it, but they are not worried about losing the Yongchang city that they have just defeated.
Sure enough, as Yongying said, the eldest brother contracted malaria in Yunnan.
Hearing this news, Yingyue was anxious day and night, and had to vent her worries and uneasiness in the school field.
There are two schools in the Old Summer Palace, one is located in the north of the Qingyan Hall in Kyushu, which is the place where the guards and guards perform, and the other is a school field dedicated to the princes to practice riding and archery, located on the west side of the Shang Study. Ying Yue naturally went to the school field in the west of this Shang Shufang, which was not far from the West Garden, and the princes' riding and archery classes were all in the afternoon, so she just had to avoid the hour.
In the early morning of this day, after the horse shot all the arrows, Ying Yue was already sweating profusely.
Qing Xing smiled and handed her a handkerchief to wipe her sweat: "Fujin has only been practicing for half a month, and this is already very different from the past." ”
Ying Yue glanced at the grass target in the distance, the average score of seven or eight rings is not good, but for a boudoir woman, it is already quite good.
Exhaled heavily, "I don't know what my eldest brother's condition is. As the commander-in-chief, he was seriously ill and had to retreat to Yongchang City and was besieged by Burmese bandits......
Ying Yue frowned secretly, the three spirit pills she specially gave should be a matter of being able to cure malaria, how could it not be cured for so long?
Could it be that in the dark, the eldest brother is really destined to die this summer?!
For a while, I became more and more upset.
At this time, Fu Ling'an ran away as if he was burning his eyebrows: "Sister, it's not good!" ”
Ying Yue chuckled in her heart, and hurriedly asked, "What?!" Big brother he-" Ying Yue felt like five thunders on the top, could it be that the eldest brother died in Yongchang?!
Fang Cai's riding and shooting had exhausted almost all of her strength, and she was already sore and weak at the moment, and when she heard such a blow, Yingyue's body staggered, and she fell to the ground.
"Fujin!" Qingxing hurriedly rushed over and helped her up.
Fukangan also hurriedly came over to help each other: "Sister, don't panic first!" Although the eldest brother has lost Yongchang City, he will definitely be able to make a comeback! ”
Ying Yue was momentarily stunned, "Huh? Yongchang City? Big brother just lost Yongchang City? ”
Fukangan had a strange look, "yes, otherwise what do you think?" ”
Ying Yue was so angry that she grinded her teeth, you rabbit cub! Halfway through talking, the old lady thought that the eldest brother was sick and dead!!
"Why don't you stay in the study room and study, what are you doing running out?!" Ying Yue was so angry that she couldn't wait to tear Fukangan.
Fukangan shrunk his neck and said, "In order to report to you, I deliberately lied to the chief master that my stomach hurts......"
Ying Yue's face was full of black clouds, "Rabbit cub!" Even the chief master dares to deceive! I see you're getting fatter and fatter! Carefully I tell Amma, see if he doesn't smoke you! ”
Fukangan shuddered, what's wrong with my sister today?
"What are you doing in a daze, why don't you go back to the study room to study!" Ying Yue roared.
Fukangan, who was sprayed by the old sister and spit on Xingzi, had to flee and fled back to the study room to study.
rushed back to the West Garden Chengxin Pavilion, and sure enough, he got the good news from Yong Ying's mouth that his eldest brother had recovered from his illness, and Yingyue's heart finally landed.
"The catastrophe of the eldest brother is over, but ......" lost Yongchang City. Ying Yue sighed regretfully.
Yongzhen is very confident in this, "Yongchang City can be beaten once, and it can be beaten a second time, you can look at it, I believe it won't be long before good news comes." ”
Ying Yue smiled: "You have a lot of confidence in my eldest brother." ”
Yong Ying glanced lightly: "In this battle, Jinlin was originally killed in battle, and Mingrui alone was still able to repel the Burmese bandits, there is no reason for the brothers to join forces, but they can't win." ”
"And-" Yongying raised his eyebrows, "How can you see, Jinlin seems to have deliberately lost the city and lured the enemy deeper......" Yongying groped his chin and said.
Ying Yue was stunned, not to mention, there is really a great possibility.
Sure enough, at the end of June, there were repeated good news, and the Fu Ling'an army was reorganized, not only taking Yongchang again in one go, but also taking advantage of the situation to break through Tengyue, Wanding, and Mubang, and attack Laoguantun like a bamboo.
The Burmese bandits were defeated, and in the end, they were intercepted by the ambushed Mingrui army, won a complete victory, and captured more than 2,000 people!
Although this battle to exterminate the Burmese bandits experienced twists and turns, the unfinished business of the two governors of Yunnan and Guizhou for several years was completely defeated by two young feudal officials in less than two months.
Hearing this news, Qianlong was overjoyed, and gave Ming Rui, the governor of Yungui, the post of secretary of the military department, and the title of second-class viscount. Although this position of secretary of the military department is granted remotely, it cannot actually manage the affairs of the military department, but it is also for the sake of, but at least it can provide a lot of convenience for future combat scheduling. It is also enough to show Qianlong's trust and reuse.
And the second-class viscount is a real title inherited from generation to generation. Mingrui's cousin is only the second son of Duke Cheng'en's Fu Wen, and the title of Duke Cheng'en will obviously be passed on to his eldest brother Quilin in the future.
As for the war in Yunnan, this time it has been calmed down, and the Inner Burmese bandits will not make a comeback in the short term, but I am afraid that there will be another war in the future.
Therefore, Mingrui's cousin and eldest brother will continue to stay in Yunnan, one as the governor and the other as the general soldier.
