When Zhao Qiang went to Shouyi City to prepare to deal with his relationship with Feng Yun, Kangxi, who was far away in Beijing, issued thirteen decrees in succession against the Rakshasa invasion half a month ago. With the issuance of the decrees, Shengjing, Jilin, and Ninggu Pagoda
, the Eight Banners yamen in the four places of Heilongjiang were in emergency operation, troops and horses were mobilized frequently, and messengers traveling to and from the four places were running across the vast black land day and night.【】
On August 2, a huge fleet of boats was sailing upstream on the Liaohe River. Pulled by thousands of people on both sides of the strait, it was slowly sailing towards the north. The fleet was carrying a fleet of ships collected from Shengjing, Jilin and other places.
Twelve thousand shi of grain, which can feed an army of 20,000 for three years, is destined for Aihun City in Heilongjiang. The fleet's route is Liaohe Songhua River and Heilongjiang. At the same time, General Jilin recruited 6,000 people of all ethnic groups to open a long
There were 39 large and small post roads along the 1,340-mile post road, and 700 people from Wu Ni were assigned to station at each post station to serve as couriers.
On August 6, the new Heilongjiang general Sabusu ordered his assistant commander Tong Tula to supervise the construction of Humar City as a place to garrison troops. At the same time, he recruited four Daur soldiers in the territory and 3,000 residents to go to Aihun City to garrison the fields.
On August 8, Ningguta General Bahai was ordered to transfer 1,500 troops under his command to Heilongjiang, under the command of Heilongjiang General Sabusu.
On August 10, the Qing government transferred 2,600 Eight Banners soldiers from Shandong, Shanxi, and Fujian to garrison the north.
On August 13, General Jilin recruited 600 sailors on the Songhua River and started building 26 large ships.
On August 17, just two days after Taiwan's Zheng family had changed his clothes and officially surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Ma La, the commander of the guard army, immediately led 200 forward troops and 400 guard troops to Heilongjiang.
With such frequent transfers, all fools knew that the imperial court was about to take action against the Rakshasa people. Some low-level officers with low-level tricks began to look for opportunities everywhere, hoping to be transferred to Heilongjiang so that they could gain some military glory and gain more for themselves in the Northern Expedition.
Qualifications for promotion. Suddenly, the general's yamen in various places outside the pass became the most lively place. Co-leaders, counselors and even assistant leaders from all over the country swarmed over, vying to pay tribute to the general. General
The disciples of the mansion are even more popular, and they are reluctant to accept red envelopes. Anyway, they are just scolding and passing the news. Whether they can be summoned by the general is none of their business.
The situation inside the Pass is similar, but most of the officers who are running for jobs are working for the Ministry of War, because there is a difference between inside the Pass and outside the Pass. Outside the Pass, the general's office is in charge of military and political affairs, and if the Eight Banners officers in the Pass want to be transferred to Beiwai, other than the Ministry of War
, no other yamen can do it. The current Ministry of War is Mr. Mingzhu. He has a high position and is rarely seen by ordinary people. Mingzhu does not take a serious look at these military attaches who want to find jobs in the Northern Expedition Army.
At first glance, he ignored these officers, and the people under the Ministry of War were happy. The ministers were finally worried about their status, and it was not too difficult to get good looks, but those in charge couldn't control it, especially those who were directly responsible for the transfer of officers.
Chief Fang Si is completely open to entertaining "guests" from all over the world. It doesn't matter which flag the other party belongs to, as long as they come to beg for themselves, they have to admit it!
The officials of the imperial court were not idle either. Due to the ancestral system that Han generals could not go outside the pass, the Han officials did not make much plans, but they were quite quiet and busy. However, the Manchu officials were in large numbers, or
For children, for relatives and friends, or for disciples, in short, they all believe that the imperial court's northern expedition against the Rakshasa people will definitely be a great victory. Don't you see, Emperor Kangxi is an eternal sage, and he ascended the throne at a young age.
Ao Bai, pacifying the three feudal lords, and taking over Taiwan are all important events that will shine through the ages and be famous throughout the ages. Now that the universe is unified and the military is strong, how can the Rakshasa red-haired barbarian ghosts rebel against heaven? As long as my army moves, they will
Wouldn't it be better to be wiped out like wild chickens and wild dogs? Therefore, by arranging some of his disciples to go to the north to conquer the army, there is no danger at all, but the credit is easily earned.
Some Manchu officials even directly petitioned the emperor himself. Kangxi was well aware of their requests. Although he was deep in the palace, he was also very aware of the current bustling trend of the Northern Diversion in the capital. Regarding this, Kangxi did not
What dissatisfaction there was, on the contrary, he thought that this would be a good opportunity for these Eight Banners disciples, most of whom could only carry a cage to escape, to have some experience outside the pass, so that they could be used by the country in the future. In the battle against Rakshasa next year, Kangxi was sure to win. After all, he
Those who went there were all elite troops, and he had been planning for it for three years. Even if these Eight Banners disciples from the capital went there, it would definitely affect the overall situation.
The three vassals and the platform were defeated by Han generals and Han troops, but the Eight Banners in the pass were really unable to take action. Kangxi had to be wary of the fighting power displayed by those Han generals and the Green Camp. If the imperial court could not suppress it,
He was always uneasy with their elite Eight Banners. Therefore, from the perspective of being wary of the Han people, he also had to rectify the Eight Banners, let them regain their ancestral bow and horse skills, reproduce the bravery of the Eight Banners soldiers, and send them to the Northern Expedition Army
, doubtless it is a good way.
While the military and political offices outside the customs were busy preparing money, food and weapons for the expedition against the Rakshasa people, and arranging their troops, a piece of news caught their attention. That was the former commander of the city of Mergen, Anmarin, who had previously been killed in Mergen.
Three hundred enemies were promoted to guard the city of Aihui, and he was promoted to the second level to help lead a single garrison in Aihui city. However, he fell into Morgan, causing more than 3,000 residents to be kidnapped by the Rakshasa people, and was only fined for one year.
A meager punishment was passed off in one stroke.
The officials outside the customs paid attention to this news, not because they felt sad for the more than 3,000 residents of Morgan, but because they realized the emperor's attitude towards the crusade against the Rakshasa people. The generals and commanders did not care who the Anmar people were, but the three hundred
The heads of Rakshasa people can be used to offset the crime of disappearing cities, and can be upgraded to two levels in a row. This is something that has never happened since the founding of the Qing Dynasty. The military laws of the Qing Dynasty were extremely strict. As long as the guarding general lost his city, except for
If you have other great achievements, you will definitely be severely punished, ranging from beheading to depriving the people of their jobs. Although Anmar has the great merit of killing three hundred Rakshasa people, at most he has compensated for his crime of losing the city. He does not want to
However, for the first time, he was promoted two levels in a row and was stationed in one city. This can't be said to be a stroke of luck. It can be seen from this that Long Live Lord attaches great importance to this Northern Expedition, otherwise Anbar would not be like this.
Got an exceptional promotion.

The westward detachment occupied Ergun City, killed 360 defenders, and massacred 790 residents of the city. Zhao Qiang already knew the battle report. Because he came to Shouyi City on an impromptu basis, the military envoy who sent the message did not know
According to the situation, he went to Yask first and then rushed to Shouyi City, which took four days longer.
Knowing that Qi Zhuang issued the order to massacre the city after the infantry regiment lost more than 400 people, and when there was no one left alive in Ergun City after the massacre, Zhao Qiang was silent for a while and told the military envoy that the westward detachment had successfully completed its mission.
A great achievement was recorded. All the dead and wounded soldiers were recorded for military merit, and the Westward Expedition detachment and the people were allotted a compensation. At the same time, the military envoy was asked to tell Qi Zhuang that the Westward Expedition detachment should be deployed according to the previously established policy and prepare for the third phase of the Dingyuan combat operation.
The military envoy took down Zhao Qiang's order and then left. Zhao Qiang stayed for a while and then walked to Feng Yun's residence in the southwest corner of Shouyi City. He had been in Shouyi City for three days, but Feng Yun did not see him behind closed doors for some reason. This made Zhao Qiang
He was very distressed and didn't understand what he had done wrong to cause Miss Feng to treat him like this. He secretly looked for Feng Jie and wanted to know what Feng Yun was thinking from his mouth, but the young Feng Jie also knew it.
