However, when Yuzhu led his army to Miyun, he received a huge piece of bad news: A Jintai had led his army to bypass the Great Wall and entered the pass, and his whereabouts were unknown.
Yuzhu immediately became alarmed. Someone must have betrayed him and secretly let Ah Jintai enter the border.
Yinreng has been the prince for more than thirty years. Even if he is deposed once, his potential power cannot be underestimated.
Defeating Ah Jintai, for Yuzhu, can at best be regarded as replacing his father's merits.
If it is the function of protecting the driver, it will be completely different.
Therefore, Yuzhu decisively ordered to set up camp on the spot. Then, he wrote a memorial to invite reinforcements and sent them to Changchun Garden at an urgent speed of 600 miles.
Kangxi did not build the Great Wall. Whether it is the outer Great Wall or the inner Great Wall, many sections are dilapidated.
The Jehol garrison in Ajintai was almost entirely composed of elite cavalry because they wanted to suppress the Mongols nearby.
Cavalry, this means, has strong maneuverability and fast marching speed.
However, Yuzhu waited for a whole day in Miyun, but did not hear from Kangxi.
At this time, it depends on how to choose.
If it were safer, Yuzhu would stay in Miyun.
However, if you do this, no matter whether something happens to Kangxi or not, Yuzhu will not be able to take any advantage.
Leading the army back without purpose seems to be a huge risk. In fact, as long as you know the right balance, you may gain a lot.
However, the artilleryman from the firearms battalion joined Batukan, but was unwilling to accompany Yuzhu on the adventure.
"Commander Yu, there is no purpose. Anyone who dares to act arbitrarily will be regarded as conspiring to rebel. I don't dare to do that!"
Kangxi's military management was very strict, and Batukan really didn't dare to mess around.
Yuzhu has enough motivation to take a chance, and Batukan is not a direct descendant of Yuzhu, so what is he trying to do?
Batukan refused to submit, so Yuzhu really couldn't kill him.
Being good at killing the commander of the Eight Banners Firearms Battalion, even if Yuzhu had great achievements in escorting him in the future, it would still be a huge stain, and it would definitely pierce a deep thorn in Kangxi's heart.
However, not killing Batush does not mean that the general Yuzhu dare not put him under house arrest.
If you can take away one of the thirty child artillery units, you will have a better chance of winning. If you take away two, you will earn one. Anyway, the more the merrier.
As a result, after an afternoon of coercion and inducement, only five mother-and-son artillery armors were willing to follow Yuzhu back to Changchun Garden to aid.
To be honest, Yuzhu was already satisfied. So, he led less than a thousand people and rushed towards Changchun Garden quickly.
Due to the urgent military situation, in addition to the artillery armor of the firearms battalion being transformed into mules and horses, Yuzhu's old subordinates could only rely on two legs to travel.
However, Yuzhu was not polite to Batush and directly requisitioned all the artillery mules and horses.
Yuzhu was the commander-in-chief, and he had the right to do this. The artillery officers and soldiers who were not willing to give up their horses were beaten with rifle butts until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen.
Damn it, if I don’t want to kill you, why don’t you dare to hit it with the butt of your rifle?
If you don't agree with Yuzhu, why should you be polite?
A gamble to gain a future is definitely not a treat for dinner!
Although Yuzhu had never fought against A Jintai, he knew that A Jintai's target must be on Kangxi.
If Kangxi returned to the capital, the thousands of people in Ajintai would have no chance of winning.
Therefore, according to Yuzhu's estimation, after A Jintai led his troops into the Great Wall, he must have wanted to sneak attack Changchun Garden and catch Kangxi by surprise.
The six hundred miles dispatched to Changchun Garden were urgently sent, but so far there has been no news. According to Yuzhu's research, it was probably the prince's people who had cut off the official path.
From Miyun to Changchun Garden, it is about two hundred miles.
Yuzhu led his men and rushed back quickly along the line of Huairou and Shunyi.
Under normal circumstances, the Qing Dynasty's green battalion officers and soldiers could only march thirty miles a day.
The Eight Banners Horse Army marched fifty miles every day.
After Yuzhu robbed hundreds of mules and horses from the Firearms Camp, he made a hasty march to Changchun Garden, with half of the people riding mules and horses and the other half on foot.
During the rest period, the officers and soldiers on foot and on mules and horses exchanged with each other, and so on.
The advantage of this is that everyone is very hardworking but not particularly tired.
Marching in this era, whether it was thirty miles or fifty miles a day, was a reasonable marching distance based on conserving combat physical strength.
Yuzhu was there to rescue the horse, and he didn't care whether the mules and horses would lose weight or die from exhaustion.
Therefore, on the first day, Yuzhu rushed outside Shunyi City quickly.
When the army was camping, the cooks set up big pots and worked overtime to fry rice.
The garrison in Shunyi City did not receive the military order from above and did not dare to let Yuzhu enter the city.
Because it is summer, the temperature is very high, so even camping outdoors is not a big deal.
Yuzhu knew in his heart that he was returning to the army without authorization to rescue the driver, and had no intention of going to the city to enjoy the blessings.
After surrounding the grain truck and sending out sentries in all directions, everyone held their guns and followed the pattern of a hollow gun formation, and lay down in their clothes.
In case of an enemy attack, the soldiers can stand up, grab their guns and join the battle.
On the way back, Yuzhu would send a messenger every hour to deliver a message to Changchun Garden and report his location to Kangxi in a timely manner.
This action is crucial.
Whether it is to protect the emperor or to rebel, it all depends on this action!
In the middle of the night, the police sent out to control the official road intercepted an urgent courier sent from Changchun Garden for 600 miles.
After Yuzhu heard this, he couldn't help but perked up. Finally, there was news from Changchun Garden.
In an emergency, Yuzhu asked the messenger directly: "How is the situation over there at Changchun Garden?"
Due to strict military regulations, the messenger did not dare to reveal the true news.
Yuzhu didn't have time to waste time with the courier, so he directly ordered someone to snatch the yellow edict box from the courier's back.
After opening the cylinder box, Yuzhu read the edict inside and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Coincidentally, the edict for Yuzhu's private demolition was sent to him.
Uh-huh, you're very lucky!
Otherwise, Yuzhu will have to spend more time and words when explaining to Kangxi in the future.
Yuzhu held the edict in his hand and said coldly to the messenger: "Only by controlling your mouth can you survive. Do you understand?"
The messenger was already in despair, because as long as the urgent order of six hundred miles was tampered with in the middle, he would definitely lose his head.
Now, the messenger was very lucky and managed to save his head.
The messenger hurriedly nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and said: "Sir, don't worry. As soon as the news leaks out, the villain's head will definitely be moved first."
Yuzhu nodded and ordered someone to take the messenger down to rest.
To be honest, Yuzhu originally wanted to kill people and silence them immediately after dismantling the cylinder box.
With Yuzhu's calmness and rationality, how could he leave a big clue to dismantle the edict privately?
Hey, dead people are the safest.
However, by some strange combination of circumstances, the messenger's luck was so good that he was actually the one delivering the message to Yuzhu.
Kangxi didn't say anything in his edict, except that he ordered Yuzhu to quickly return to Changchun Garden.
After acting on his own initiative and becoming the legitimate King of Qin, Yuzhu was no longer in a hurry.
There are many troops stationed near Changchun Garden, including the Three Banners and Second Battalion of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Firearms Battalion, and the elite Eight Banners of Fengtai Camp on the outskirts of Beijing.
Moreover, based on Yuzhu's understanding of Kangxi, Lao Wu and Lao Qi must have accepted the order to lead troops to Changchun Garden to serve the king.
Not to mention anything else, Kangxi conducted three personal conquests of Galdan.
Objectively speaking, Kangxi was very right to stay in Changchun Garden and mobilize his troops to serve the king.
A Jintai led all cavalry. If Kangxi ordered to return to Beijing and the huge team went on the road, it would be a good opportunity for the cavalry to attack in vain.
Although the palace wall of Changchun Garden is not as tall and magnificent as the Forbidden City, as long as there is a firearms battalion stationed inside, it can be defended for a few days no matter what.
Now that the name was justified, Yuzhu sent Ma Qingfang with the edict, called the defenders on the city, used a rope basket to lower him up the city wall, and successfully entered the city.
There was no other way. Shunyi's defenders were too timid to open the city gates and send their troops into the city.
After opening the city gate at dawn, Yuzhu forced Shunyi's guards to commandeer all the carts and carts of merchants in the city.
In this way, after setting off again, Yuzhu's people all sat on carriages or mule carts.
Yuzhu's people are all riflemen. As long as they travel by car, they conserve their physical strength and can participate in battles anytime and anywhere.
However, halfway down the road, I encountered a large number of defeated cavalry.
Yuzhu stopped them, and after careful questioning, he found that the defeated soldiers were actually the troops of King Qin of Lao Qi.
Almost in an instant, Yuzhu understood that Ah Jintai was actually using Huang Taiji's best tactic: encirclement and reinforcements!
Yuzhu happened to be short of cavalry, so he recruited all the more than 300 cavalrymen who were intercepted.
There were several senior officials under their banner who, relying on their Manchurian surname, cursed and refused to submit.
Yuzhu was a cruel and vicious person, and he did not show any courtesy to the disobedient people. He waved his hand directly, and the soldiers with bayonets on them swarmed up, stabbed them one by one to death, and chopped off their heads.
There were several bloody heads on the ground, and Yuzhu said coldly: "Anyone who escapes from the battle, behead him!"
He didn't say much, but he shocked the defeated army under Lao Qi!
Use heavy scriptures in troubled times!
In extraordinary times, it is far more deterrent than directly using a bayonet and chopping off the head.
Yuzhu threatened the defeated cavalry and forced them to follow them to Changchun Garden.
As long as anyone dares to complain, there will be no persuasion or education, and they will be directly stabbed to death.
The Eight Banners soldiers in the Beijing camp, who have been accustomed to living comfortably and enjoying themselves, are all talkative and are not afraid of being reasonable at all.
However, these guys deserved to be unlucky when they met Yuzhu, a living bandit who didn't want to be reasonable at all.
When a scholar meets a soldier, he cannot explain why.
The closer we get to Changchun Garden, the more troops we defeat, and most of them are cavalry.
Yuzhu still used the old method, and those who were obedient were temporarily included. Those who were disobedient were stabbed to death with bayonets, then their heads were cut off, and their blood was sacrificed to the military flag.
When they arrived at Haichunzhuang, which was thirty miles away from Changchun Garden, Yuzhu received news from the guard post. There was a loud killing sound near Changchun Garden, as if two armies were fighting a fierce battle.
