Bahai sent people to Beijing quickly to report Wu Ni's collusion with the Rakshasa rebels to the emperor, but he didn't know that Kangxi had already brought a group of warriors to Mulan Paddock for hunting on the fourth day of July.【】.
Originally, "Mulan Autumn" usually takes place in autumn, but for some reason Kangxi had a whim and wanted to go hunting in early summer. Not to mention the changeable weather in summer, it was rare to see wild beasts hunting in such a big way.
, I’m afraid the drunkard’s intention is not to drink. A group of courtiers speculated that the emperor’s intention may be to warn the Jungar people not to be too arrogant. After all, since May, various tribes in Mobei have been reporting to the court.
Dao Geerdan was aggressive and continued to encroach on their pasture land, showing signs of annexing the Mobei tribes in one fell swoop.
Although the emperor has already set the eight-character national policy of "pioneer Rakshasa, and then determine the northwest", there is no news about the Northern Expedition Army yet, and it is not known whether it will win or lose. However, seeing how arrogant Galdan is, it would be unavoidable if he does not give him a blow.
It chilled all the tribes in Mobei, thinking that the imperial court was really afraid of Galdan, so when Mingzhu and Gao Shiqi learned that the emperor was going to Mulan to hunt, they immediately knew the true intention of the Sacred Heart, and naturally they would not be stupid enough to dissuade him.
What.
Mingzhu is also suffering now. The people sent by the Ministry of War to the outside of the customs have been away for several days. They have not yet received the letter. They don’t know what is going on with Peng Chun. Every day, they feel anxious. They are worried about the emperor.
Check. Now that the emperor wants to go to Mulan to relax, regardless of whether this is a warning to Jungar, Mingzhu is also happy to see it happen, because at least he no longer has to worry about it every day, because there is an edict from the palace, asking him to
He Suo'etu stayed in Beijing to protect the prince.
Mulan Paddock is located in the northeastern part of Zhili Province, bordering the Horqin Mongolian Grassland. It has been a grassland with rich water and grass and a breeding ground for animals since ancient times. Before this dynasty, the Liao Emperor built a royal hunting ground here. At the beginning of the 17th year of Kangxi, the Emperor
Every year, the princes, ministers and elite soldiers of the Eight Banners come here to hold a large-scale hunting to train the Eight Banners soldiers to practice their ancestral riding and archery. Because this year the emperor suddenly advanced the schedule and went to Mulan for hunting in early summer, and did not reveal it at all in advance, so
When the imperial edict came out, all the banners and the Eight Banners Yamen were really exhausted. They hurriedly hurriedly prepared the entourage and utensils for the emperor's departure on the day.
The royal driver left the capital through Dongzhimen. After leaving the capital, he headed north. Because there was a decree in advance that the Ministry of Rites was not allowed to mobilize troops to make grand arrangements, so Kangxi only took a crank-armed yellow-covered carriage. The important ministers asked for the forehead map and the Pearl Palace
In addition to staying in the capital to guard the prince, others such as Gao Shiqi, Alan Tai, Zhang Ying, Zhang Yu, the newly-minted scholar Tang Bin and others who were walking in the south room were accompanying him. Among the courtiers, there was Fulun, a minister from the household department.
There are more than sixty ministers, including Ge Sitai, the Minister of Punishment, Keerkun, the Minister of Staff, Fu Lata, the Minister of Civil Affairs, Xi Zhu, the commander of the infantry, Le Dehong, Li Zhifang, the Minister of Punishment, Du Kejian, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Hou Dao, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, etc.
In addition, the four princes, Prince Yu Fuquan, Prince Gong Chang Ning, Prince An Yue Le, and Prince Kang Jie, together with sixteen Baylor and nine eight-cent clan princes, also accompanied them, and the rest
There are nearly a hundred people who govern the country and assist the country's generals.
There were 2,000 forward troops, 1,400 guard troops, and 1,800 cavalry troops escorting the journey. Together with the guards, the entourage of princes and ministers, eunuchs, maids, and people who obeyed orders from various ministries, the entire hunting team numbered more than 10,000.
There were so many people that they stretched for more than ten miles. When they set off from Dongzhimen, the people in Beijing gathered around and watched. When the imperial driver came out, Kangxi even showed up in the car and waved to the people on both sides.
The common people knelt down one by one in fear and shouted long live.
Listening to the people's heartfelt "Long Live", Kangxi's mood immediately improved. Once he was in a good mood, the concubines, eunuchs and maids accompanying him on both sides also started talking and laughing. In this way, this made him even more happy. Going hunting adds a lot of warmth.
Before leaving the palace, Kangxi went to Cining Palace to say hello to the Empress Dowager as usual, and then went to the Empress Dowager to say goodbye. After that, he led his concubines out of the palace surrounded by eunuchs and palace maids. The new leader of Qianqing Palace, eunuch Chen Shuangxi, led a group of eunuchs to follow on horseback, following the car and listening to greetings. Zhang Ying and Gao Shiqi followed behind. Both of them were Kangxi's confidants, a studious, humble, kind and calm man. , a funny, wise, erudite and versatile man. The two of them talked to each other while walking, and they had a great time talking to each other.
Two days later, the car drove out of Gubeikou and arrived at Mulan Paddock. Kangxi was born in the palace and grew up in the Forbidden City. He was used to row upon row of buildings and winding and deep alleys. Although he had also lived in Gyeonggi Province , outside the Pass, I have visited Shandong, but the mountains and rivers within the Pass can't help but give people a feeling of being narrow and blocked. After leaving the Great Wall, I looked around and saw endless grass and trees, foxes and rabbits racing, and only the vast grassland, the sky and the sky are vast. .A breeze blew by, the clouds moved and the trees swayed, and the grass fell into the waves. It was really refreshing! Kangxi couldn't sit still in the car, so he jumped out happily, jumped on the grass a few times, and laughed: "Okay! That's really it. What a sight!”
Seeing that the emperor was so happy, Alan Tai couldn't help but smile and said: "Master, I haven't been to this grassland for more than ten years, and I feel really comfortable physically and mentally."
Kangxi took the bow and arrow from one of the guards, jumped on the white horse specially prepared for him, shook the rope, and gave it a light whip. The horse originally came from Mongolia, and when it saw the grassland, it really took to the grassland and had fun on the spot. He made a circle and galloped away with a long neigh. Seeing this, General Fei Yanggu, the minister in charge of the bodyguard, hurriedly clamped his legs under the horse's belly and rushed over to escort it like lightning. Where the horse was galloping, there were a few yellow sheep and two roe deer. He was so startled that he jumped out of the grass with a "whoosh". When Kangxi saw it, he quickly took out a carved wolf-tooth arrow from his quiver and put it on his bow. He pulled it like a full moon and shot it out with a "swish" sound. A yellow arrow shot out. The sheep fell over in the grass nest and rolled motionless.
When he saw an arrow, he shot. Kangxi laughed loudly when his horse raised his bow, and ordered Chen Shuangxi behind him: "Release my Haidongqing quickly! Fei Yanggu, you and the guards go around from the north. The forward camp goes to the west to block it and protect it." The military camp is going to the south, and the Xiaoqi camp is rushing from the front. Don't let the prey escape!" After saying this, Prince Yu Fuquan, Prince Gong Chang Ning, Prince An Yue Le and others shouted towards Prince Yu Fuquan, Prince Gong Chang Ning, Prince An Yue Le and others who were galloping behind, "Follow all of you. I'm here to pick up prey, let's practice our ancestors' riding and archery today!"
