On the 19th of the twelfth month, the Eastern Advance Corps sent an urgent telegram to the Second Army, saying that the Rangers of the Second Army had found a force of cavalry at Shifo Fort, dozens of miles northeast of the Daling River.

The number of cavalry in this unit was small, only more than 100 horsemen, and it was probably the enemy's scouting horse.

This information could have been handled by the Corps, but the Commander of the Corps sent someone to expedite the situation to the Imperial Camp of Ant Tun, so that His Majesty the Emperor, who was sleeping soundly, had to get up from the warm body of Madame Shun and deal with the matter in a disapprehensive cloak.

Part-time workers can be ninety-nine-six, but he, the emperor, is three or six five days a year, staring at the work group 24 hours a day, if he doesn't reply to the news in time, he will definitely be scolded unconscious, if it is not for the country, for the people, he is not willing to suffer this living crime if he is given 10,000 knives.

Mrs. Shun is Qianlong's Shun nobleman, this time Jia Liu did not bring his wife and concubine in Beijing, so he brought Shun nobles from Tongzhou, the main purpose is to let Shun nobles warm the quilt for him.

After all, it was very cold outside the gate.

According to the order of entry, Mrs. Shun ranks fifth, so she is also called the fifth lady.

The sixth lady is Concubine Xun, who was fortunate in Beijing the previous time, and the seventh lady is Concubine Ying.

The fourth lady is Wu Qinglian.

The first three ladies are Ruxiu, Yuanyuan, and Chunhua.

Because the post-establishment issue is very important, at present, Jia Liu has not been canonized as a queen, nor has he been canonized as a concubine, and his wives and concubines are all called Mrs.

But there is no definite number as to who the first lady will be.

It's not that Jia Liu is uncertain, but what he said doesn't count.

Originally, the queen candidate was competing between Ruxiu and Yuanyuan, but with Chunhua's father Lao Bo becoming the prime minister, Chunhua's voice became higher and higher, and she faintly wanted to come from behind.

Ding Qing secretly investigated and said that Lao Bo gave 50,000 taels to each of his cabinet colleagues.

Lao Ji collects it, Lao Ah collects it, and Queenie also collects it, and Elder Li will confiscate it.

But Ding Qing secretly reported that Lao Li and Lao Bo had long-term business dealings, and that the two had opened several trading houses in Tianjin with white gloves, as well as a trading company specializing in doing business with Western countries, and the other two people's clansmen had also privately taken on many construction projects in various places.

Therefore, it can be concluded that the prime minister and the first-ranked deputy prime minister of the Restoration Dynasty have formed a party, and it cannot be ruled out that the other three prime ministers and vice ministers are also involved.

The relevant report was sealed by Jia Liu and was not allowed to be disseminated.

At present, he can still tolerate the problem of forming a party.

In order to avoid the intensification of contradictions and affect the great industrial development in full swing, Jia Liu did not plan to rectify the bureaucracy, so he had to wait for the people to get rich.

As a result, the issue of immediate post-immediacy has also been put on hold indefinitely.

"If you find that the enemy's scouts are dealt with according to the rules, don't say that his corps headquarters is something that can be handled by the command post of the Second Army, what are you doing here? Hmph, don't ask, it must be Azu's bad guy, this kid has always been dissatisfied with me in history, always said that I can command a regiment of men and horses at most, but he is the more the merrier, why! ”

Complaining to complaining, Jia Liu still took the message handed by Lao Ji and read it carefully.

Lao Ji smiled on the side: "Your Majesty, this is a good thing!" ”

"A good thing?"

Jia Liu squinted and glanced at Lao Ji: Don't give me good news or bad news!

Lao Ji affirmed: "It's a good thing, Admiral Zu didn't mean to belittle His Majesty, he was actually saying that His Majesty can be stronger than Han Gaozu, because Gaozu can bring up to 100,000 people, and His Majesty can bring up to 1,000 people... The fewer your majesty will be, the stronger you will be than that ancestor. ”

"That sounds like a reasonable understanding."

Jia Liu's face looked much better, and he was thinking about whether it was Han Gao's ancestor Niu or Han Guangwu's Niu, or his Chaowu Emperor's true Wen Gai Han Gao and Wu Gai Guangwu, otherwise why would his subordinates praise him with this.

Then his brows suddenly furrowed slightly, and his expression became solemn.

The reason for this was that the telegram contained a common opinion from Zu Yingyuan, the commander of the Second Army, and Wang Fu, commander of the Eastern Advance Corps, that is, the cavalry that appeared at Shifobao was not the Eight Banners in the direction of Quang Ninh, but the Mongolian cavalry from the steppe.

To be precise, it was a cavalry from the Horqin Department of Southern Mongolia.

At the beginning of the country, the three Khalkha Khans in northern Mongolia paid tribute at the same time, and the land of Erut, Snow District, and Dzungaria in Qinghai was successively included in the territory, and then the Qing court divided the Mongolian tribes into Inner Mongolia (Monan Mongolia), Outer Mongolia (Mobei Mongolia/Khalkha Mongolia), Moxi Mongolia (Oirat Mongolia) and Qinghai Mongolia according to the region.

Among them, Monan Mongolia was included in the "Neizasak" by the Qing court, and the other Mongolian tribes were included in the "Waizasak".

The reason why Monan Mongolia was included in the "Neizasak" is nothing more than that it was the earliest to submit to the Qing Dynasty and had the closest relationship with the Qing court.

The other tribes were relatively late in submission and were not as loyal as the Mongol tribes.

Therefore, the distinction between inside and outside is determined by proximity.

It's like an aunt's cousin is higher than an aunt's cousin, like someone else's aunt's cousin, and the inner appearance of the uncle's family is higher than the appearance of the aunt's family.

The Horqin Department is the most powerful part of Southern Mongolia, and its relationship with Aixin Jueluo is equivalent to that of the eldest cousin of his uncle's family.

At the beginning of the country, the Qing court gave three princes of Horqin knighthoods, one was the prince of Tushetu in the middle banner of the right wing of Horqin, the second was the prince of Darhan in the middle banner of the left wing of Horqin, Manzhu Xili, and the third was Wu Keshan, the prince of Zhuoliktu.

These three Mongolian princes have a long lineage and are hereditary, and they can be called the hat kings of Mongolia.

However, in the seventeenth year of Qianlong, the great-great-grandson of Manzhu Xili, Sebuteng Balejur, was stripped of his inheritance due to the unfavorable handling of the rebellion of Amur Sana, and the title of prince was inherited by his elder brother Sewang Norbu.

Later, Sebuteng was named an idle prince by Qianlong, so there are now four princes in Horqin alone.

This department is also the strongest of the three tribes of Southern Mongolia, and there is absolutely no problem in mobilizing tens of thousands of cavalry.

Jia Liu's previous life, the monk Lingqin, who commanded the last Eight Banners cavalry of the late Qing Dynasty, was from the Horqin Department.

Thinking of this, Jia Liu realized a serious problem: "In this way, it is possible that Horqin supports the rebellion of the Eight Banners outside the Guanwai?" ”

Lao Ji corrected: "Your Majesty, it's not possible, but certain!" ”

Yes, definitely.

Because Horqin's soldiers have already appeared in the upper reaches of the Daling River.

"Whether it's Mo Nan or Mo Bei, or Mo Xi, I treat them equally, and I send people to reward them with canonization... What was in the past and what is still in the future, how dare they rebel! ”

Jia Liu was very angry.

It is necessary for Lao Ji to remind: "Your Majesty, don't forget that the Horqin Department is the uncle of the Shunzhi family. ”

“... I've forgotten about it. ”

Jia Liu's expression was sneering, strictly speaking, this matter was really caused by him, he designated the four dynasties since Shunzhi as an illegal regime, and the removal of all the titles of relatives and county kings of the Shunzhi family was not a provocation for Horqin, but a declaration of war.

Because Shunzhi's mother Bumu Butai is Horqin's daughter, and most of the mothers and wives of the princes of the Shunzhi family are also from Horqin!

The nephews have been cleaned up, and it's strange that the uncle doesn't follow the Eight Banners outside the Guanwai to make you the six emperors.

Things became clear.

The courage of the Eight Banners group headed by Hongxiang to dare to launch a rebellion stemmed from the fact that they had the support of the Mongol tribes in southern Mo headed by Horqin.

"I made one table of food, but I didn't expect to bring two tables of guests."

How could Jia Liu, who had experienced countless winds and waves and commanded countless large corps of battles, be frightened by the Manchurian and Mongolian coalition forces, ponder for a moment, and let Lao Ji prepare electricity.

"Wang, Zu, Bao, De, and Pan of the Eastern Advance Corps: Who dares to seal the wolf Juxu, who dares to Yan Ran to extort Gong, who dares to smash Huanglong, and who dares to fight for me!"
