Chapter 141: The Second Expedition to Geldan (8)
After thinking about it, Ma Qi finally made up his mind. Reading the book// Ma Qi knows that among Kangxi's close ministers, many of them have the position of a special performer, even if they don't play the emperor, they will definitely not be able to hide from the world. Moreover, if he concealed it and did not report it, Kangxi would inevitably think that he intended to cling to the prince, which would immediately be a disaster. After making up his mind, Ma Qi vaguely mentioned on the secret fold: "The slave received a report from the guard, and there were folk women who entered and left the forbidden garden to serve." This is caused by the errand of the minion and the guard. The slave is frightened and frightened, and the sin is unjustified, and he will be punished if he asks for a long life. I hereby want to play the above, and beg for the holy book. Mida Imperial Tour. Rao is responsibility is on his shoulders, and after the secret fold of eight hundred miles and the expedited delivery, Ma Qi's heart is still like fifteen buckets to draw water, seven up and eight down.
On the day the excerpt was delivered, it was Li Dequan on duty. He took the notebook from the post man's hand and trotted into it. At this time, Kangxi was discussing the matter of entering the army with the princes and ministers. Seeing this, Li Dequan stood aside and waited.
Kangxi handed Suo Etu and Tong Guowei three folds, frowned and said, "Take a look." I received the excerpts of Mingzhu and Sun Sike today. For example, in the story of the armies of the Western Road, the Eastern Route Army also did not march smoothly. As a result, the three armies will join forces in Tula on April 30, and I am afraid that it will no longer be possible. What do you think?"
After hearing this, my heart was also in shock. He knew that on March 19, Feiyangu had said that the march of the Western Route Army was smooth, and that it could reach Onjin on the 3rd of April, Tula on the 24th, and Bayan-Ulan on the 27th. At the beginning of April, it was reported by his Pegasus that the Western Route Army was blocked by rain and snow and could not reach Tula before the 24th. Feiyangu also claimed that the roads were muddy, and that Shenwei and other heavy artillery had to stay in Karen in order to advance lightly, but even so, they could not reach Tula until 3 May, and on 27 May they could reach Bayan-Ulan, where Geldan was garrisoned, a full month later than the prelude date. Reading the book// And this time, if Sun Sike's Eastern Route Army also misses the day, the situation of the three armies attacking will become a situation in which the middle route army will advance all the way, not only can not form an encirclement of Geerdan, but it is more likely that the middle route army led by Kangxi will be involved in the encounter with the Dzungar department in the brunt.
So, when the three folds were passed to Yin?, he read them word by word, and the more he looked at them, the more shocking he became. The first one is Mingzhu's recital, which says: On March 21, more than 20,000 soldiers of the East Route Army suddenly encountered a storm for a day and a night, and on the 22nd, they encountered a strong wind for a day and a night, and the cold was cold, like the middle of winter. The horses were discouraged and frozen, and many of them died, and from then on they were weakened and discarded, and the army was deprived of food. Facing such a predicament in the desert, the future is still far away, Sun Sike has no choice, only to gather the generals to meet, saying: "This is still far from Yichao, my soldiers and rice are not continued, not only is it difficult to win the enemy, but also go deep and hairless, and everything will be exhausted." Expecting that the exhausted division was in danger of being annihilated by an unmet enemy, Sun Sike decided to select 2,000 strong men from the 7,000 soldiers to go, and send the rest back. Among the generals, it was difficult to return to the division without the king's order, and only 2,000 soldiers were too few, Sun Sike said: "The soldiers are fine but not many, and my 2,000 people are enough to break the enemy." If the court condemns me, I deserve it. And I would rather kill thousands of children with a single body to survive, and my wish is also. "The whole army was moved and wept bitterly, knelt down and asked to go together, and even if they died of hunger, they should be willing. Sun Sike tearfully comforted: "You and others are all the people I have trained in the past, who is not a person who sacrificed his life to serve the country, but here the horse is exhausted and there is no choice but to make you return." So he led 2,000 men to Chi Wengjin. On top of this excerpt, Mingzhu did not hesitate to write and ink, and reported his experiences in Sun Sike's army to Kangxi one by one, so that after reading it, Yin's feeling of being in Sun Sike's army seemed to be there. Although Yin was quite helpless that the Eastern Route Army could not arrive at Wengjin on time, he was also moved by Sun Sike's fist.
The other two excerpts are Mingzhu and Sun Sike's plea for guilt. Soon after Mingzhu entered the Dushikou with the Middle Route Army, he was ordered to send the East Route Army rations. It's just that I didn't expect God to be so unhelpful, and as soon as it was delivered, it couldn't be shipped again due to strong winds. This time, he asked for sin, hoping to follow Sun Sike as a counselor. And Sun Sike was even more earnest, shouldering all the blame.
After everyone read the excerpt, they were silent for a long time, thinking about it. Kangxi waited for a while, and finally became a little impatient, so he named and said: "Suo Etu, you are also a person who has been in military affairs for a long time, so you will talk about it first." Suo Etu thought about it for a while, and then he had a plan in his heart, and said: "According to the humble opinion of the slave, the current plan should be strictly ordered to Fei Yanggu, Sun Sike and others to enter Tula quickly. Moreover, when the slave was personally conquered in the 29th year of the emperor's pro-conquest, he had received grain and grass, and knew that grain and straw were important in the war. The minions also thought that the middle route army could delay the trip, and should also add more detectives to the news of Geldan and report to the emperor in time. After hearing this, I couldn't help but feel a little disdainful in my heart. Suo Etu's performance seems simple on the surface, but in fact it has a profound meaning. First of all, he suggested "strictly reprimanding" the two generals Fei Yangu and Sun Sike, and secondly, he quietly applied for the loss of Mingzhu's duty to supervise grain, and thirdly, he must have also seen the risks of the middle road, so that the middle route army was clearly relegated behind.
In this regard, Kangxi didn't seem to care, and without comment, his eyes turned to Tong Guowei again, Tong Guowei groaned for a while, and said: "The slave thinks that although the Eastern and Western Second Route Army has missed some time, it is caused by bad weather, and it is not that the soldiers do not need to die." If the emperor comforts the two generals Feiyangu and Sun Sike with warm words, he will definitely be able to make the two armies deeply appreciate the emperor's favor and think more about repaying the service. Kangxi nodded this time and said, "This proposal is approved." Then you draw up a will, and you will do it to the second general. As for Mingzhu, it was difficult for him, so I granted him an invitation to stay at Sun Sike to atone for his crimes. So his heart slowed down a little, and he said secretly: Suo Etu's thoughts, I'm afraid that Kangxi has already seen it thoroughly.
For example, if he has to test the elder brother of the emperor who accompanied the army, Kangxi asked Yinzhi first: "If the eldest brother is not here today, you are the prince." In military affairs, what do you think?"
Although Yinzhi was dressed in military uniform, his face was still full of bookishness, and at this moment, he said calmly: "If you return to the emperor Ama, the ministers think that the reason why Geldan chose the place of Wuyan Balan is that the place is relatively warm and suitable for the cavalry to spend the winter. And the terrain is a place where you can attack and retreat. Therefore, Geerdancun's mind is nothing more than to wait for the beginning of spring this year, and then the army will march south and attack the southern Mongolian tribes. In the event of our troops, they can also cross the Krulun River or retreat through Uyan Balan. However, at this moment, because the climate is not as warm as in previous years, Geldan has not yet moved troops. At this moment, the soldiers are very fast, if our three-way army can surround it before Geldan, it will definitely be able to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop. ”
Kangxi had already made up his mind in his heart, smiled slightly, and said: "The truth is not bad, but you have heard it too." By the time the Third Route Army arrived, I was afraid that it would already be mid-May. Will Geldan wait for me to catch the turtle in his urn?" Yin Zhiyuan wanted to say more, but when he saw Yin, he stepped forward and bowed down and said, "Huang Ama, the third brother is not bad. Erchen guessed, the original intention of the third brother was to ask the emperor Ama to issue an order, not only should the middle route army not delay the march, but on the contrary, it is the right topic to get to Wuyan Balan as soon as possible!"
