"There is no elder brother in the capital who can take charge, this is not a good thing!"

Yinxi, Yinyu and Yingan were all sent out by Kangxi, and before that, the boss had already left by himself, and the abolished prince was sent to Luzon, and the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang, who had a great call to seize the prince, also went to Gubeikou with the fourteenth elder brother Yinyu, saying that they were going to train the army. As a result, the entire Qing court, from top to bottom, no matter how dull people were, also felt Kangxi's disgust with the prince's fight for the throne, and at the same time, these people also felt Kangxi's restraint on power. This is completely different from Kangxi's practice of delegating power in previous years.

Kangxi's approach has indeed won the approval of some people. Without the princes mixing in it, there will be fewer twists and turns in the government, and there will be a lot less scruples when doing things. However, not everyone agrees with Kangxi's approach. Mazi is one of them.

"The emperor is now more than fifty years old, and he has been on the throne for nearly forty-eight years. Although the dragon is healthy, if there is no one in the capital who can take charge, what if the emperor is unwell? "Mazie's reasoning is also very good. He was there just in case. In these days, the life expectancy of people is not very long. The emperor of the Aixinjue Luo clan has always been rare to live long.

Therefore, he was worried that if Kangxi suddenly fell ill or died, it would be too late to make any edict to pass on the throne, which would cause chaos in the situation, or that Kangxi left an edict, but someone contacted the Manchurian nobles, gathered the power of the Eight Banners, and disregarded Kangxi's last order to set up a new monarch, which would be a big disaster. You must know that the emperor of the Qing Dynasty has a tradition of being elected by everyone, and Kangxi is only the first successor directly designated by the previous emperor, and with the current situation of the princes, who knows if his next successor can also succeed to the throne in this way? Especially at present, several princes who can suppress the scene have left the center of the country, and if other princes see this scene and think about it, it will be very bad. You must know that the battle for the throne is different from others, as long as you control the capital and master the imperial court. That's Orthodoxy! Even if someone is not convinced, it is difficult to have the courage to lead troops to oppose it.

"That's right, it's really inappropriate for the emperor to send out so many elder brothers at once!"

Tong Guowei also spoke.

"What does Master Fei think?" Zhang Tingyu asked Old Man Fei.

It was rare for the three ministers of the study to go out together, and the place where they were worshipping at the moment was Old Man Fei's mansion. As Kangxi's close ministers, they have learned the origin of Kangxi's actions from very secret channels. The one who came up with the idea, nine times out of ten, was the one in front of him who was smiling all day long.

It seems that the old man Fei is harmless to livestock.

"Hehe, the three adults shouldn't come to ask me about this old man, if you feel that it is inappropriate in your heart, you should ask the emperor!" Old man Fei smiled at the three of them.

"Lord Fei, Ming people don't say secret words. We just want to ask, what is your attitude towards the emperor sending all the elder brothers to other places. Marzi added.

"Ma Xiang, what do you mean by this? It's none of my business. Old man Fei spread his hands out, making a helpless look, and there was a hint of displeasure on his face.

"Master Fei, Ma Xiang actually just wants to ask." Zhang Tingyu is a peacemaker. Originally. according to his mind. This cannot be mixed. However, Tong Guowei and Ma Qi had to pull him along, which was in the way. He couldn't help it. What's more, he also wanted to understand Old Man Fei's mind very much in his heart. You must know that although Old Man Fei does not meet Kangxi almost every day like them, this old guy's influence is amazing. Kangxi seemed to be obedient to him. This has never happened to anyone else before.

"Yes, Lord Fei, I heard that several princes also think this is not good. I'm going to give advice to the emperor. Tong Guowei said again.

"Hehe, listening to Tong Xiang, and Ma Xiang's meaning, it seems that the eighth elder brother was a little unhappy when he was sent out of the capital. Right? Old man Fei didn't care about the meaning of Tong Guowei's words, he just asked with a smile. He knew that Zhang Tingyu had always been innocent, so he didn't talk about the other party.

Tong didn't mean that. It's just that now the emperor has always refused to determine the candidate for the prince, and he has sent all the elder brothers far away, causing the hearts of the people in the court to fluctuate. Tong Guowei replied.

"Understood. It turned out that the purpose of Tong Xiangyes was to allow the emperor to establish the candidate for the prince's land.

But. You ask me that, are you looking for the wrong person? The emperor has already said that no matter who is the crown prince, it is the royal family's own business, and those of us who are courtiers are not good at "meddling", right? Old man Fei asked rhetorically.

This Tong naturally knows. However, what the emperor meant was that the courtiers could not nominate a certain elder brother to be the crown prince, but he did not say that the courtiers could not urge him to be canonized as the crown prince. Moreover, since the "chaos" in the capital last year, the position of the crown prince has been vacant for nearly a year. As courtiers, can we just watch this situation and do nothing? Although there is no 'country can not be without a prince for a day, but now that the emperor is getting old, he has to work hard every day, and he has to work hard every day, so hard, in case there is a bad ...... Therefore, the prince is established, and the people's hearts are at peace! Tong Guowei said in a heavy tone.

"Ma Xiang also means the same as Tong Xiang?" Old man Fei turned his head to Ma Qi and asked.

"Not bad. Lord Fei is now very favored by the emperor, and everything he says is valued by the emperor.

I'm waiting for this here, in fact, I want to ask Master Fei to go with me to give advice to the emperor! Marzi nodded in reply.

"Good guy, the 'forced' palace 'forced' to Lao Tzu!"

Old man Fei had roughly figured out the intentions of the three guys in front of him. Zhang Tingyu, judging from his past behavior and "sexual" personality, he will not provoke the emperor if he is killed. Therefore, this time he must be one of the people who were "coerced", and looking at the eyes he looked at Tong Guowei and Ma Qi at this time, it seemed that he was still "deceived". However, even then, it is not easy to do. Tong Guowei is definitely the mastermind. Although this guy has never shown any preference for any prince, his attitude towards Lao Bayinxi has always been very gentle and friendly, and Ah Ling'a and others, who have always been close to him, are "

A member of the Eight Masters Party, so, what his intentions are, he is almost already a bald head lice. The reason why it has not been said clearly is nothing more than playing a big name. And he was worried about causing Kangxi's dissatisfaction. As for Mazie, it is estimated that he was instigated. This Brother Ma is the most scheming among the three ministers in the study, but although he has few scheming, he has great wisdom. The so-called great ingenuity is clumsy, compared to the bells and whistles of other people's power schemes, because this Ma Xiangye has always shown that he focuses on the overall situation and the country. is not yet selfish, so his status in Kangxi's mind may have already surpassed Tong Guowei, who is known as the first assistant, and Zhang Tingyu is born in Han and has congenital deficiencies, so among the three ministers in the study, he is the most trusted one by Kangxi. This time, Tong Guowei also pulled him in, first, I am afraid that he wanted to use his strong momentum, and secondly, he came.

In case their action of asking for the establishment of the prince provoked Kangxi's displeasure. You can also have one more person to share the blame from Kangxi. Moreover, because Kangxi has always valued Ma Qi, he knows that this person is sometimes easy to be confused. Even if you want to condemn the crime, I'm afraid it won't be too heavy. In that case, as Kangxi's uncle, Tong Guowei naturally has nothing to fear.

However, now Kangxi is obviously not very satisfied with the old eight, and the new candidate has not "revealed", why is he Tong Guowei so anxious to let Kangxi establish a new prince candidate?

"I don't know what Zhang Xiang means?"

Old Man Fei's mind was racing, and he suddenly turned to Zhang Tingyu and asked. Since Kangxi let go, he naturally has his own plans. He's not going to be stupid enough to touch his head. However, if you refuse it outright. It will be difficult to meet in officialdom in the future. Although he is not afraid, it is not a good thing to make Tong Guowei and Ma Qi unhappy. Moreover, all the words have been said about this, even if you refuse politely, I'm afraid it's not appropriate. Unable to think of what to say for a while, Old Man Fei rolled his eyes and came up with a trick to use his strength. Pushed the problem to Zhang Tingyu.

“…… It doesn't hurt to mention it to the emperor, and it doesn't hurt to think about it! Zhang Tingyu thought for a while and replied.

"What's wrong with this guy's head suddenly crooked?" Old man Fei couldn't imagine that Zhang Tingyu was so simple, and he was very dissatisfied in his heart. I originally wanted to use this kid as a shield. It's so disappointing.

Could it be that he was wrong, this kid had actually been persuaded by Tong Guowei and Ma Qi before he came?

"What do you want me to do?" Zhang Tingyu naturally knew that he was unexpected. However, at the same time, he was watched by Old Man Fei, Tong Guowei, and Ma Qi, although he could not change his face, he also felt a little unhappy in his heart. However, if he is unhappy, the three people in front of him have no less influence than him, so he can only sit firmly and wait for the other party to recover himself.

"Good.

It seems that asking the emperor to establish a prince is already the hope of the ministers. I'm waiting to go, it's just the right thing to do! Ma Qi thought the least about Zhang Tingyu's answer and reacted the fastest. In his eyes, Zhang Tingyu has always been a good word, and his words are not empty. Therefore, to get this brother's approval, it seems that there is great hope for asking Kangxi to establish a prince.

"Since everyone has said so, Fei naturally can't be left behind. I agree! ”

Although I don't know what Zhang Tingyu is thinking in his heart, since the three ministers of the upper study have all agreed, it is not good for Old Man Fei to oppose it alone. There are only four of us here! Moreover, even if Kangxi disagrees, at most, everyone will be dealt with one by one. Can we still remove them all? It's not a big deal! Moreover, no matter what you say, the name of the three ministers in the study is much stronger than him, and even if something happens, he is unlucky to go to the three people in front of him.

Cart! Cart! Cart!

There are cars everywhere in all directions! Of course, if those things could be called Chedi!

Rukaevsky felt that he might die.

"How can this be?"

As a Cossack cavalryman, he was proud of his bravery, and of all Cossacks who fought bravely. With the war in Russia in recent years, the Cossack cavalry team he was in has not stopped winning. Every time they rushed at the enemy, he could always see the enemy's frightened expression, and every time they attacked, it was a decisive battle with the enemy. In other words, the cavalry team he is in is a winning army. Therefore, he always believed that the local army, which consisted of Cossack cavalry, was the best army in the world.

Even the musketeers of the guards of Her Royal Highness Tsaress, Sufia, could not compare with them, the Cossack cavalry, who were not as glorious as them.

Now, however, he suddenly felt that the cavalry was also in trouble. Moreover, these troubles are not small troubles! It's big trouble! It's a big trouble that kills people!

Across Europe. The invincible Cossacks were actually pushed by a group of "peasants" with carts

Defeated!

If this matter had been put in the past, I am afraid that everyone would have regarded it as an unrealistic joke, and Rukaevsky believed that he might have slashed the other party because the joke had insulted the glory of the Cossacks. In his opinion, there has never been a cavalry in this world, except for the cavalry of Turkey and Poland, that can be compared with the great Cossacks. Moreover, even these two armies, which had defeated the Russian cavalry, were still inferior to the Cossacks. Because they didn't run into Cossacks before. But. Now the fact is that the unimaginable as described in that joke has happened. And, right in front of his eyes!

In this crusade, two-thirds of their army was cavalry. Of these, 10,000 were battle-hardened Cossack veterans. It is also the main force of the vanguard in the entire Crusade Army. Therefore, at the beginning, when they faced the same mixed army of about 10,000 infantry and cavalry, they all thought that they had picked up a bargain, from the generals leading the army to the ordinary pawns, they all thought that this time they were winning. So. They decided to go to war. Let's start by teaching the Eastern Empire on the other side a lesson.

And after declaring war on the other side, they saw that this army of men with big pigtails just stayed there honestly. "Don't dare" to attack them. So, they thought that the enemy might have been frightened stupid by their might.

And when they instigated their mounts to attack the opponent with an irresistible attack, and the opponent suddenly pushed out an untold number of wheelbarrows in front of the battle, they felt that they might have encountered the biggest joke and the most foolish opponent of all time. Do those people think that putting a baffle in front of the car will stop them? Any Cossack could easily jump over a cart of that height.

What they didn't know, however, was that the carts were not used to repel horses, but to charge! So, they were wrong.

It's those little wheelbarrows. Let them suffer heavy casualties. The result of the collision between the dense cavalry charge formation and the fearless enemy soldiers pushing wheelbarrows was that the enemy killed and wounded them at a speed of 1:100, or even 1:100. In that case, the Cossacks were "in disarray". The cavalry in front wanted to stop, they didn't want their horses to trip over some carts over there, because when the cavalry of the brigade charged forward, falling would mean death. However, the people behind did not know.

And that's not all. When the Cossacks' charge was forcibly stopped, another group of wagons from the enemy ground rushed out.

Rukaev never thought about it. The cart can actually hit the cavalry!

However, this is exactly what happened.

Combined with the coordination of the enemy's infantry and cavalry, the Cossacks suffered a huge blow, and the casualties rose to a terrible number in a very short time. However, all this was so sudden that the Cossacks, accustomed to victory, seemed to lose their normal thinking for a moment, and were surrounded by the enemy's numerically inferior cavalry. At the same time, the main forces of the enemy's infantry army were also advancing on the battlefield.

"What should I do?"

Unlike Rukaevsky, who was just an ordinary Cossack cavalryman, as a Russian general and the commander of this elite Cossack cavalry, Tsilonov had much more to consider. But, again, he knows a lot more than Rukaevsky.

He was too careless.

True, on the opposite side of them, there were only about ten thousand weak-looking troops. However, according to the scouts' reports, a cavalry army of about 20,000 men was rapidly advancing towards them. Moreover, in less than an hour, the enemy will appear on the battlefield. This means that if he doesn't run, he won't have a chance.

However, the crime of starting a war with the Qing Empire without authorization and returning home with a crushing defeat was enough for him to lose his head in Russia, where military law has always been cruel.

Death left and right! What should he do?

"I didn't think this trolley would really work! The handsome is really amazing! How can you come up with such a tactic! ”

Tsilonov may not have imagined that directly opposite him, in the army that used carts to deal with cavalry, the commander-in-chief of the Qing Empire's expeditionary force, General An Yuan, Feiyanggu, was using a telescope to observe the form of the battlefield. And his failure this time was only due to an experiment by Feiyanggu.

"It's not my invention. …… In the 21st year of Jiajing in the former Ming Dynasty, Altan Khan, the leader of the Mongolian Tatar tribe, invaded Shanxi, and the Ming Dynasty general Yu Dayou was ordered to go to Datong, create a wheelbarrow, set up a battalion of military vehicles, and defeated the Altan Khan's 10,000 cavalry army in Anyin Fort with 100 cars and 3,000 foot horses. So, I'm just inspired! Fei Yanggu didn't seem to hear the flattery of the generals around him, and just said lightly.

"The handsome man is too modest. Even if they are inspired, how many people can find out the mystery and dare to try it? It's just a pity. Alabutan actually learned to shrink the head of the turtle, otherwise, these wheelbarrows prepared by the marshal would have been able to make a contribution a long time ago! You don't have to wait until today to take it out. A general said.

"Hehe", facing the generals' sycophants, Feiyang Gu smiled, "I really thought that I would have the opportunity to use this trick to deal with the cavalry of Junggar, and I just hoped to reduce some casualties. However, it is more desirable for Arabutan to hide in the city and not come out. As a result, the casualties of our troops will only be smaller. However, this time I was too reckless. Fortunately, the Russian cavalry was not equipped with firearms, and the carts were modified, making the crossbows useless. Otherwise, I am afraid that this miracle effect will not be reaped. ”

"It seems that this is also providential! These old "hairy" people deserve bad luck! Hahaha......" The generals laughed.

"Marshal, it seems that the enemy army has an intention to retreat, do you want to launch a general attack now?" Lanzhou General Fu Erdan asked.

"Hmm......" Feiyang Gu Shen groaned, picked up the binoculars and looked at the battlefield again, "The other party retreated a little 'chaotic'. It seems to be in a hurry. Just let them go. ”

"Marshal, there are still more than half of the enemy army left, so let it go, will it be a threat in the future?" General Zhenwu Fu Ningan asked.

"As far as I know. Russians have always been hot-tempered and not good at learning lessons. This time they must have been very unwilling to lose. The next time I meet again, I will definitely be in a hurry to get angry and anxious to take revenge. Letting them go back this time is to let them go back to cheer up their own people, and they can be more angry when they fight us next time! Feiyang Gu smiled.

"Handsome and smart!" The generals arched their hands and said.

"Newspaper—"

"What's the matter?" Looking at the herald who was hurrying forward, Fei Yang asked indifferently.

"Back to the marshal, General Sabu Su has an urgent military report!" The herald was intercepted before he could reach Feiyanggu, but the letter he brought was also passed to Feiyanggu.

"Dashuai, what's the matter? Could it be that General Sa has already broken through Ili? Fu Ningan began to smile after seeing Fei Yanggu open the letter, and couldn't help but ask.

“…… No! Sabu Su only wrote to me that the prince of Qinghai and Shuote tribes, Luo Buzang Danjin, gathered 100,000 troops to attack Xining, and he reversed! Fei Yanggu said with a smile.
