Geerdan's sudden dispatch of troops was concealed by Kangxi and the Qing court, and it did not have a significant impact at first, but it was just for ordinary people, Kangxi had already arranged nearly 300,000 troops to wait for Geerdan, but Geerdan's unexpected strength made him have to immediately recruit troops and horses again. So, the matter finally spread within a certain range.

Panic!

However, in Mukden City, which was the first to know about this, there was a family that was not afraid of Geerdan's strength at all, but felt extremely lucky.

Of course, this is a cadre in the palace of Prince Zheng.

Prince Gong Chang Ning came to Fengtian to transfer troops, and the person who was responsible for arranging the grain was the old man Fei, the Fengtian Mansion Yin, he naturally knew the truth of the matter in the first time, and then, ignoring Yu Kangxi's strict order not to leak secrets, he informed his family of the matter.

In this regard, Yu Zhong cheered, if it weren't for Geerdan, who was thousands of miles away, he would probably have hugged that person on the spot and kissed him wildly! Similarly, Mo Jing and Luo Xin, who had returned to Fengtian, were also very happy about this, and they were also very happy that their own people didn't have to fight.

As for Geerdan's strength is too strong, several people didn't take it to heart at all, and they have great confidence in Kangxi.

……

However, within a few days of a few people being happy, three pieces of bad news came back one after another.

After Prince Gong Changning rendezvoused with Arni, the secretary of the Imperial Court, his troops divided into two routes, intending to attack Geldan's army from the left and right to obstruct its march.

At that time, Chang Ning led 5,000 Manchurian elite cavalry and part of the Horqin cavalry, and Arni led more than 10,000 Khalkha Mongol defeated troops who had to go south to ask for asylum from the Qing court because they were exterminated by Geerdan!

However, the two armies, together of more than 20,000 people, were quickly wiped out by Geldan one after another.

First of all, Arni, who led his army to the Urhui River, encountered an army of about 3,000 men led by Gerdan himself, and as a result, Arni was greedy for merit and waved his army to fight. In the face of an enemy army three times his size, Geldan did not panic, but only feigned defeat and retreated, leaving gold and silk and other things on the way. The Khalkha soldiers and horses led by Arni were extremely poorly disciplined, and when they saw these things, they immediately began to scramble, causing chaos in the army, and as a result, taking advantage of this opportunity, Geldan returned to the army with a blow, and Arni was defeated and died!

Then, Changning's army and Geldan's army encountered, the two armies fought in Uzhumuqin, Changning's troops were insufficient, and they fought and left, but in the end, they could not escape the pursuit of Geerdan's army of a hundred battles, and as a result, like Arni, the whole army was annihilated, and Changning was missing and missing.

After these two battles, the morale of the Geldan army was greatly boosted, and they took advantage of the victory to attack and marched to Ulan Butong, on the north bank of the Saric River, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and set up a large camp to suppress the Central Plains. At this time, he was less than 600 miles away from Beijing.

For a time, the Qing Dynasty shook the whole country, and Beijing was under martial law!

*********

"This Geerdan, really has the ability, he can actually hit a place only 600 miles away from Beijing, he is really good! ...... "In Mukden, in the face of Geerdan's aggressive and powerful posture, Yu Zhong only expressed his thoughts indifferently, and there was even some regret in his words.

"Of course, no matter what people say, they are also the hegemon of one party, of course, there are more than you who sell watermelons!" Mo Jing sat behind Yu Zhong, rubbing his shoulders for him, and when he heard this, he sneered unceremoniously.

"Hey, hey, I said Mo Yan, you can't say that, how can you say it, I'm also your husband...... Moreover, don't look at Geerdan, he jumped there so happily, he had to pull Qingdan another day, this is fate, he didn't run! So, you're still honestly following me as a melon seller, hahaha...... Alas, a little bit, wife! ”

"Aren't you two going a little too far, do you know how to be a little more restrained? If you want to make love, go back to your yard, and don't play tricks in front of Miss Ben...... Did You Know? Luo Xin sat opposite the two, holding a wicker in his hand, pointing at the two.

"Xinxin, aren't you looking at the heat? Then you hurry back to Ningguta and bully Mader's boy, isn't that okay? Yu Zhongle said hehehe, he was injured, he didn't have to fight, and he was accompanied by a beautiful woman, and his mood was not ordinarily good.

"Hmph, you guys...... Fei Lao! Luo Xin was about to ridicule each other, but when he saw Old Man Fei appear in the courtyard, he left the two of them and greeted him.

"Fei Lao, how is it? How many soldiers and horses did Sabusu transfer? ”

Geerdan's strength not only caused martial law to begin in the area of Beijing Zhili, but even Mukden was in a tense situation, Sabu Su, as the admiral of Fengtian, was naturally in a hurry to transfer troops and horses from all over the place to prevent Geldan from attacking eastward, after all, Manchuria was the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, and there was no room for failure. And Old Man Fei, as the Yin of Fengtian Mansion, is naturally obliged to help prepare logistics materials for the army.

"Are the people of Fedoro gone?" Although he heard Yu Zhong's question, Old Man Fei didn't answer, but just asked Mo Jing.

"Let's go, they originally wanted to go back to Mukden with us, but when they heard that Geldan was coming, they didn't hurry and went north, wanting to return to China via Siberia!" Mo Jing saw that Old Man Fei's face was a little solemn, and he didn't hesitate, and hurriedly replied.

"Oh? …… Now it's a problem! Old man Fei spit out such a sentence with a calm face.

"Trouble? What's wrong? Luo Xin asked.

"That Prince Gong Changning has fled back to Mukden, and according to his words, a large number of firearms have appeared in Geldan's army, and, judging from the shotgun he brought back, it is the same kind of Russian firearms captured in the Battle of Yaxa!"

"What?" Mo Jing glanced at each other, and his mood suddenly sank to the bottom. If the Russians had really sold the muskets to Gerdan, what would the previous negotiations mean? Divert the attention of the Qing court? If it is true, then Mo Jing, who is the initiator of this negotiation, is not dead?

"Moreover, since Geldan's strength exceeds expectations, Sabu Su is desperately pulling out all possible soldiers and horses, I looked at the list, and Ma De is among them!"

"......" is another heavy blow!

I thought that Yu Zhong was injured, and Ma De was just a "cell boss" who didn't have much military power, so he didn't have to participate in the battle and avoided the battle that he couldn't help himself, but now, ...... All four felt an elusive horror.

"What are we going to do?" Finally, Yu Zhong asked this question first.

"According to Kangxi's current arrangement, General Fuyuan flew the ancient garrison of Gubeikou and blocked Geerdan's westward route; Prince Yu Fuquan led an army of 100,000 to the north and set up a defensive line to block Geldan's southward advance; Sabsu was the third eastern line of defense, with the least number of troops...... It's going to be a while before the fight starts, so we have to take advantage of this time to make a good estimate, but it's not easy to think about this way! Old man Fei sighed.

"It's going to take a while!" Yu Zhong smiled bitterly after hearing this, he thought that Geldan would attack sharply, and the Qing court would immediately counterattack under Kangxi's arrangement, but ...... His injuries weren't healed, but they were almost gone......

***********

At the same time that Old Man Fei and others were confused and anxious about their fate and future, and were trying to find a solution, in Beijing, there was also a group of people who were in the same situation, of course, these people were not only for their own fate, but also for the fate of the entire Qing Dynasty.

The upper study room was too small, and Kangxi held this pre-imperial meeting in the Yangxin Palace.

"I've decided to go on a personal expedition!"

As soon as he came up, Kangxi threw a bombshell at the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, who had been waiting for him for a long time.

At this time, there are no longer only a few Manchu ministers and a few prime ministers standing in front of the palace case, and officials with a little status, whether they are Manchu or Han, so if Kangxi wants to drive the royal conquest in person, it immediately stirs up a ripple in the palace.

"Your Majesty!" As soon as Kangxi's voice fell, Suo Etu hurriedly stood up: "Your Majesty, the battle on the battlefield is not trivial, you are a body of gold, and there must be no mistakes, so the slave asks you to take back your life!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the son of a daughter is still not sitting in the hall, not to mention that the Emperor is the Emperor of Ten Thousand Times, please think twice!" After Suo Etu finished speaking, Li Guangdi, the governor of Zhili, also hurriedly came forward and said.

"Hmph, am I the kind of coward who sits under the eaves and is afraid of bricks and tiles? What's more, I am familiar with military books and war strategies, and I have also commanded various armies to exterminate the three feudatories, is it possible that even a little Geldan of him can't deal with it? What's more, Prince Kang and Prince An are both old, if I don't come out, who can lead the army? Kangxi rebuked Li Guangdi. The son of a daughter, who can't sit in the hall, means that the rich man who has accumulated a thousand gold in the family does not sit close to the hall house, for fear of being smashed by the roof tiles, Li Guangdi's original intention is to say that Kangxi's status is noble and it is not suitable to take risks to go on an expedition, but Kangxi led to another meaning of this remark, so that Li Guangdi did not dare to say it again.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers of the Eight Banners, the Green Battalion, and the Han Army Banner Battalion who have just been recruited are gathering in Beijing, even if you want to drive the army in person, you have to wait for the soldiers and horses of all departments to gather, otherwise, even if the ministers die, they will never dare to let you out of Beijing......" Gao Shiqi knelt down on the main hall and kowtowed to Kangxi. His words and performance made all the ministers look hot and jealous, and Kangxi's personal intention has been decided, which is seen by everyone, although most of the ministers are intentionally opposed, but even Li Guangdi, Kangxi's cronies, has been scolded, and others don't know how to persuade. Gao Shiqi beat around the bush and asked Kangxi to bring more soldiers and horses to go, not only to show loyalty, but also not to touch the mold, it was really offensive and defensive, which was very amazing.

"Your Majesty, what Gao Shiqi said is very true, the slave is willing to lead a soldier and horse to travel first to clear the way for the emperor!"

didn't want Gao Shiqi to be pretty, so Suo Etu stood up again.

"You?" Kangxi glanced at Suo Etu, and there was some surprise in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten? During the Ping San Domain, the minions also followed Prince Kang to conquer Zhejiang and Fujian, and now, the minions are willing to die for the emperor again! Suo Etu straightened his body and stood tall among the ministers! Now the people in the Qing court who can fight are either too old to lead troops, or they have been sent out, and most of the rest are literati, and there is really no one else who is more suitable to lead troops than him, although Tong Guowei is the commander of the infantry army, but it is just equivalent to the director of public security in Beijing, where can he lead the army? Naturally, there is no way to fight with him.

"Suo Etu can have this heart, I am very relieved, but there is no need to lead the troops to set off first! Arni and Chang Ning were defeated, Geldan came too quickly, and now it is close at hand, and the world has been shaken, if I don't send troops to quell the rebellion, someone will inevitably take the opportunity to cause chaos! Therefore, I decided not to wait for the follow-up soldiers and horses, and the army will set out on the same day! Kangxi said. The ruling foundation of the Qing Dynasty in the Central Plains has never been very stable, almost every dynasty has people rebelled, there was a Zhong Saburo sect in the early Kangxi period to make a rebellion in Beijing, although it was destroyed, but there is still a world will make trouble among the people, although it is not a big thing at this stage, but if there is something going on in the north and the strength of the country is lost, then, a small illness may become a major disease.

(Yongzhengshi because of his mean personality, the world is constantly opposed; During the Qianlong period, there were two rebellions in Jinchuan, which cost nearly 100 million taels of silver, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers died, and there were rebellions of large and small and Zhuo, and there was an uprising of the White Lotus Sect in the late period; During Jiaqing, the Celestial Religion invaded the Forbidden City; Needless to say, Daoguang went down...... ）

"Your Majesty, you insist on driving the expedition in person, and the ministers have nothing to say, but if someone takes advantage of your expedition to spread rumors, at that time, if the people's hearts are in turmoil, what should the ministers do?" Chen Tingjing thought about it and said something as well.

"Yes, Your Majesty, if you go to the land of the capital in person, who will guard the land of the capital? Who is in charge of state affairs? Tong Guowei then asked. He can't talk about literature, he can't talk about martial arts, although he has some talents, and his courage is not small, but he can't keep up with other people's thinking, and it's really uncomfortable.

"When I was in charge of the country, the prince was in charge of the country, and the state affairs were all handled by the prince. If there is a major event that cannot be decided, you can report it to me and ......"

"As for the time when I was conquest, the people's hearts were fluctuating, and I already had a way to solve it!"

"First, I want to issue an amnesty to the world!"

"Second, I want to issue an edict: From now on, I will be clear...... Never give! ”
