The Empress Dowager's seventieth birthday was, in general, lively and harmonious. It was very late when she came out of the palace, and it was snowy and windy. She huddled in the carriage, and even if the brazier was burning brightly, there was always a cold air coming from the walls of the carriage.
They came in. Xiaoqi and Xiaoba didn't take off their boots, they just huddled on the bed of the carriage and covered them with thick fox fur mattresses. Xiaoqi didn't say that he was tossing anymore, he was probably tossing around in the palace.
It's so annoying that now I just shrink into an adult's arms, trying to find a comfortable position to sleep.
Si Ye held Xiao Qi in his arms and patted her gently, three or two times, and the child's eyelids became heavy.
What kind of fun is this? You can’t go outdoors even in the palace, and you’re still so tired.
Hongxu was not sleepy, but from time to time he wanted to open the curtain and look outside. He saw his younger brother sleeping, but he was afraid that the wind would come in and blow him, so he had to lean in the corner, yawned loudly, and muttered: "I
I don’t know what happened to the eldest brother and the second brother. The last time I asked someone to deliver a letter was two months ago."
Yes! Isn't this what Tongtong is worried about? It's already so cold in the capital, but in the northwest, isn't it going to be even colder this month?
She asked her father in a low voice: "Are we reorganizing the army this year? Or have we already fought?"
Si Ye sighed: "In the third year since Shunzhi, twenty-two tribes, including Junggar, signed a petition and were willing to become ministers. The court also rewarded them with armor and other items and ordered them to take charge of various tribes. From then on, Tibet and Xinjiang were included
The territory of the Qing Dynasty has been around for so many years!"
I know! So when Junggar raises troops, this is called rebellion!

She thought about Junggar's situation and said, "Galdan was not the legal heir back then, Cewang Alabutan was."
Yes! Galdan is indeed quite courageous. Back then, he had constant conflicts with the court over matters in southern and northern Mongolia. You have to know that the Mongolian tribes are connected to the Tibetan and Tibetan territories. This is a huge territory. "Besides,
Do you know how many troops Junggar has now?"
I don’t know!
Siye stretched out three fingers, and Tongtong was startled: "Three hundred thousand?"
Yes! Three hundred thousand! This has reached the point where he will send troops to hide if he doesn't intervene.
"In the past few years, there has been no friction in any year. There have been dozens of wars, large and small, every year." Si Ye said, "This is a very difficult problem. Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, only the Junggar region has been
The troubles it has caused have never stopped. This time, it will not be over until it is broken up! Otherwise, if it happens again in three to five years, how much time and energy the court spends on just such a place." Moreover, it is very strange.
, he always felt that this place gave him some kind of obsession.
Tongtong wanted to ask, "How many years do you plan to resolve this matter? Are Honghui and Hongxian unable to come back in the next few years?"
With the new weapons, the opponent should be incapable of fighting! Wait, wait for the news over there.
Tongtong listened to the wind outside, "I don't know if it's cold over there..."
cold!
"But it's really freezing to death!" Hongxian entered the tent and rubbed his face vigorously. There were two purple marks on his originally fair face. I don't know if it was the sun or the cold. Um.
I used to use the facial oil that my mother brought me, but then I ran out of time to use it. I have completely forgotten about it even now. Nowadays, it is normal not to wash your face for several days or more than ten days. Wash it.
On the contrary, I was afraid that my face would become completely frostbitten.
Hong Hui was standing in front of a map in armor. When he heard the sound, he looked back and his voice became hoarse. "Go and warm yourself by the fire first. There is some soup on the table. Remember to drink it."
This kind of stuff made from herbs that have not been cooked properly is really disgusting. I drank it all in one go, grabbed the water bag and poured it again, and the burps that came out had an indescribable smell!
Here, you eat and drink the same as other soldiers. Don't even think about vegetables. It's good to have something to eat. At most, you can eat some mutton. Add large pieces of mutton to the dry environment, and the anger will go away.
Going up. Before autumn comes, I can still find some wild vegetables to make ends meet, which is interesting. Since the beginning of autumn, I haven't eaten a bite of fresh vegetables.
Where I and my eldest brother were taking Chen Bing, the nearest home had to be walked for a day and a night, so where could we get food?
The throat is swollen, the throat is hoarse, and the gums are swollen and painful. This is just a matter of taking medicine, but then it comes back again when the medicine is stopped, and you suffer!
The tent was not insulated from the cold, and if it wasn't for a fire, there wouldn't be room for anyone inside! He sighed and stood next to his elder brother, "It's been a few days since the agreed time, but Uncle Thirteen still hasn't asked anyone to send a message."
Don't be anxious! Don't be anxious!
Honghui asked: "Where is General Fu Biao?"
"We'll be back soon!" Hongxian glanced outside, "I guess by now, the inspection should be over."
Fu Biao's surname is Wu Ya, and he is considered to be his grandmother's natal family. This time, Amma transferred him out of the army and commanded an army. The thirteenth uncle put his elder brother under the command of General Fu Biao.
Just as they were talking, a thin man came in directly from the outside and stood directly beside the fire. "Two brothers, we are going to fight. I am afraid it will happen in the past few days. It will be so cold again."
It might not be a good thing for us to come down."
Yes! There has been friction in previous years, but this season the probability is the smallest.
Honghui looked at the map, "If we want to win this battle, we need a quick word! Before the opponent can react, the firearms battalion must quickly take the opponent's retreat..."
Fu Biao nodded and looked like this. He smiled and said, "Brother, I will sweep the formation for me... This time we have the heaviest task."
Hongxian looked at his eldest brother, "Isn't he planning to ask us to go?"
Do you dare to call Fu Biao? Firearms are no more dangerous than other things. The risk is high if you go there by yourself, but even if you die, you will lose your life alone! But if something happens to the two of them, my family will
They all have to die. It's a good chance to send me here this time. But sending two little ancestors here is much more difficult than asking yourself to go to the battlefield.
Honghui smiled and said, "General Wu Ya, you will fight with the main force. This plan must be reevaluated..."
Don't! Don't make trouble! Even if you lose, you're not afraid, it's just victory or defeat! But if you make a mistake, you really can't take responsibility.
Hongxian became rarely serious, and squatted beside the fire with Fu Biao, "General, it's not that we are greedy for credit, but there is a situation that we have to consider."
What's the situation?
In previous conflicts, firearms have never been used on a large scale! Have you ever thought about what changes this time will bring to the battlefield?
Fu Biao didn't say anything. How could he not consider this situation? Didn't this mean that these two elder brothers were equipped with lieutenants who were cautious and not aggressive?
"But how can we just be cautious?" Honghui knelt down and said, "General, speaking of it, you have to do the most risky work."
What's the meaning?
Hongxian stood up and clicked on the military defense map, "You have to pretend to be the main force, but you can only lead 20% of the troops! But you have to show the momentum of the main force. The use of large-scale anger will catch the opponent off guard. They know the power
, then we won’t be fond of fighting. In addition, we have to leak the news and let the other party know that our two wings protect our two precious balls and we dare not confront them head-on. Now, after they know the power of the firearms camp, they will
Divide its main force in half, and then introduce it to our two wings... My eldest brother and I will each lead a wing. We need to ask them to confirm that we are in the camp, and we can break through from here..."
Introduction? What happens after the introduction? You must know that you are facing the opponent's main force, but I have to take most of our equipment. When it is your turn, you will have to fight hand-to-hand.
It’s not that evil! There is a kind of firearm that has never been seen at all. Except for a few people who know about it, this thing has never been seen so far!
It was only when Fu Biao arrived on the battlefield that he saw that new kind of firearm!
Everything went according to plan. He led the firearms battalion to make first contact with the opponent. As expected, the opponent responded quickly and immediately divided his troops into two groups to break out.
The attack only lasted more than ten miles when suddenly, there was a roar and the ground shook.
What the hell is this! Horses neighed and people shouted, because the explosives planted were not what the opponent expected at all. This kind of lethality, and it was a large-scale lethality, the opponent did not expect at all. Just this time,
Reduce the number of troops by 30%. The key is to intimidate people's psychology, which is enough to cause the military to lose morale.
kill!
It was Hongxian's first time to kill someone, really! It was really his first time! The bright red blood was everywhere, and the smell of blood was everywhere. He mechanically waved the knife in his hand. If he didn't kill someone, people would kill him!
So, kill, kill, kill! Killing with red eyes, riding on a horse, filled with gunpowder smoke, charred earth, turf ignited by the flames of war, and dead bodies strewn under the horse's hooves.
His stomach was churning, but he couldn't vomit! Everyone was looking at him, and the soldiers below were looking at him, but he couldn't vomit.
It wasn't until he saw his elder brother riding on a horse with blood-stained armor that the redness in his eyes slowly faded away.
Honghui saw Hongxian, and he didn't know if he was injured. The blood on his body was layer by layer, and the shades were different. He could go over as usual, help him dismount, and then pat his shoulder.
Tell him, okay! It's okay, we're all over it together, my eldest brother is here. He can say these words, but at this moment, Hongxian also needs his eldest brother to step forward and say this.
But he didn’t go! Because Hongxian needs to grow up!
As long as you stand on the edge and don't help him, he can stand firm and must stand firm.
So, the two brothers rode on the horse, neither of them moved. After a long time, Hongxian urged the horse over. Without showing any vulnerability on his face, he rode behind the eldest brother, and then calmly gave instructions on how to clear the battlefield and what to do.
How to count the number of people, how to ask about the results of the battle, and how to place the wounded. Hongxian knew that the eldest brother was not allowed to find the backbone by himself, because at this moment, he was the backbone of so many people. When he panicked, the following was in chaos.
I think going to the battlefield is the hardest, but it’s not. When you survive the battlefield and look back, it’s actually the hardest.
If you can't get over this hurdle, you will be truly ruined.
Hongxian's face was complicated. In fact, since his eldest brother protected him, he couldn't be said to be wrong. But his eldest brother didn't, so he let go. He had to cultivate himself. Even if the two of them fought side by side, he would have to give himself a different future.
