Hearing the "urgent report from Ninggu Pagoda", Kangxi and Alan Tai's hearts were moved, and they thought at the same time: Could it be that there is news from the Northern Expedition Army?
The guards had already brought the person who reported the message. He was a young man from the Riding School. When he saw Kangxi wearing a dragon robe, he couldn't wait to kneel down. He took out two reports from his arms and held them up high.
Said: "Ning Guta hastened the military situation and asked the emperor to take a look!"
"Quick, bring it here!"
Upon hearing that it was an urgent military situation, Kangxi hurriedly asked the guards to bring over the report, and handed a copy to Alantai. He picked up one, opened one, glanced at it several times, but his expression changed drastically. The hands holding the report turned out to be
He began to tremble, and his face became more and more troubled as he went back. When he reached the back, he actually lost his voice and said: "...The thieves captured my Shangyang Fort a few days ago, and more than 40 officials, big and small, below Chang Shou, the commander of the capital, were killed.
The bandit soldiers massacred all the bannermen and people of all ethnic groups in the city. Afterwards, the bandit army came out in all directions, burning, killing, looting and looting. When the slaves rushed to report, the main force of the bandit army, tens of thousands, was heading towards our Ninggu Pagoda. The slaves had already organized
Prepare for war and vow to fight the traitors to the bitter end!"
After finishing the report, Kangxi was so angry that he threw the report far away and shouted angrily, "Wu Sangui's ghost is still here! He will fight against me even if he dies!"
Alan Tai's face next to him was even paler than Kangxi's. Kangxi's shock and anger did not frighten him at all. Instead, he stayed there, staring at the report in his hand motionless.【】
"Is there any bad news about Bahai?" Seeing Alantai in a daze, Kangxi couldn't help but said angrily: "What did you say in front of me? Read it, read it to me!"
"Emperor..."
Alantai's voice was knotted, and he hesitated to speak. Under Kangxi's gaze, he finally stammered and recited in a low voice: "Slave Bahai heard that Shangyang Fort fell into the hands of the bandit army, that is,
Sent horses to Heilongjiang, but the bandit army has blocked the pass, and the horses are not allowed to go north. The slaves then sent boats up the Songhua River to the north, to Aai Ai, a few miles downstream of Ai Hui, but they saw the tops of the two cities fluttering... Flying thieves
The army "Guan Ning"... the flag of Guan Ning, thousands of bodies of our Northern Expedition soldiers were found along the lower reaches of the river. After many investigations, I hereby report to the emperor... that our Northern Expedition army may... may have been destroyed...
"At the end of the reading, Alantai knelt on the ground with a plop and burst into tears: More than 20,000 Eight Banners soldiers were completely wiped out. This was a disastrous defeat that the Qing Dynasty had never seen before!
"What! The entire Northern Expeditionary Army was wiped out?!"
Kangxi felt as if he was struck by lightning. He looked at Alantai in disbelief, snatched the report from his hand, and glanced at it several times. Suddenly he couldn't stand and collapsed to the ground. The guards rushed to help him, but he threw away their hands.
I saw the veins on his neck popping up, his face flushed red, his eyes widening as big as a cowbell, he struggled to his feet and raised his head to the sky and shouted: "Wu Ni deserves to die! Peng Chun missed me!..."
"Emperor!"
Fei Yanggu, Gao Shiqi, Zhang Ying, Zhang Yu, Li Zhifang, Xi Zhu and others who had been alerted and rushed over saw Kangxi being so furious. They were so frightened that they all fell to the ground. They didn't know what made the emperor so angry. The concubines in the tent,
The guards, eunuchs and maids were also frightened by Kangxi's roar, and they knelt in darkness inside and outside the tent.
"Bullshit, trash!...Why don't I kill them, why don't I kill them...my Eight Banners soldiers!...The land of Longxing, our ancestors, has been so poisoned by thieves, how can I have the dignity to see my ancestors!"
…I’m going to kill them, I’m going to take them!…”
Kangxi was yelling as if he was crazy, suddenly saying this, and now saying that, making people wonder what he was talking about. He even took out a saber from the waist of a guard and waved it around, roaring extremely
, everyone was so frightened that they did not dare to breathe, for fear of being killed by the angry emperor.
"The emperor is angry!"
After hearing the news, Prince Yu Fuquan was the son of Shizu and the elder brother of Kangxi. After hearing the movement in the big tent, he hurried over with his people. As soon as he arrived at the big tent, he saw his younger brother brandishing a knife and roaring, and he couldn't help but be frightened.
He jumped, hurriedly grabbed the knife from Kangxi's hand, and then signaled the eunuchs to quickly drag the emperor into the tent.
When Prince Yu came forward, the eunuchs hurriedly dragged Kangxi, who was a little abnormal, into the tent. Fuquan was worried, worried that his brother would be angry and get into trouble, so he ordered the guards to call the imperial doctor quickly.
After Kangxi was dragged in by the eunuchs in the tent, he suddenly fainted, which frightened everyone even more. After the imperial doctor arrived and took a look at his pulse, he said that the emperor was temporarily attacked by anger, causing his blood to be restless.
, then he fainted, and he only needed to take some medicine to refresh his mind and revive his blood. He immediately prescribed the medicine and asked the eunuch to boil it quickly.
Outside, Prince Gong Chang Ning, Prince An Yue Le, Prince Kang Prince Jie, Hu Bu Man Shang Fulun, Punishment Department Man Shang Ge Sitai, Li Bu Man Shang Keer Kun and other officials arrived one after another and asked about what happened.
After Fuquan came out of the tent, he walked straight to Alantai, who was still a little distracted, and asked in a deep voice: "What's going on?"
"How is the emperor?" Alantai did not immediately answer Fuquan, but went to the tent with some concern.
"The emperor just fainted due to restless energy and blood. It's serious. Please tell me quickly what happened?"
Hearing that the emperor was fine, Alan Tai breathed a sigh of relief. He was filled with grief and anger, and said with emotion: "In reply to the prince's words, Ning Guta urgently reported that the Northern Expedition Army has been completely wiped out, and Wu Sangui's old troops have rebelled again in Shangyang Fort.
Shangyang Fort has been occupied, and there are tens of thousands of rebels, including Rakshasa people. Bahai reported that the main force of the rebel army is attacking Ninggu Pagoda..." Speaking of this, Alantai couldn't help but burst into tears again, he
This cry frightened the princes and ministers, and they all looked at the great bachelor of the dynasty with their mouths open.
Fu Quanxin was also extremely shocked. When he saw the knight who reported the news was looking at him at a loss, he hurriedly pulled him over and asked, "When did it happen? What's Ning Guta's situation now? Tell me quickly!"
Seeing that the emperor had fainted, the knight cavalry school was worried. Now that Fu Quan pulled him away, he became even more panicked. He opened his mouth and kept mumbling for a long time before saying: "This slave came from Ninggu Pagoda at high speed and entered as soon as he entered the customs."
When they arrived in the capital, they knew that the emperor had arrived at the paddock and rushed here non-stop. It had been six days. The bandits made trouble on the second day of July. It was already more than half a month later. When the slaves came, General Bahai was leading the army to calm down.
Chaos, I don’t know what the situation is now.”
"waste!"
Fuquan was also impatient, but this slave really didn't know. No matter how hard he was forced, he let go and pushed him away. He frowned. What did it mean when the Northern Expedition army annihilated Monk Yangbao and fell into the hands of the traitor army? He knew very well that now the traitor army
There are tens of thousands of people, including Rakshasa bandits, and Ningguta Bahai only has thousands of cavalry. If Bahai is defeated again, Ningguta will fall into the hands of the bandit army, and then the bandit army will be able to march straight in.
Killing Shengjing.
If the traitor army captures Shengjing, the tombs of our ancestors of the Qing Dynasty will fall into the hands of the traitor army, and we descendants of Aisin Gioro will become unworthy descendants. What should we do?
"Princes, the emperor has woken up and invited several princes to come into the tent to discuss matters!"
Fu Quan was just at a good time when Chen Shuangxi came out of the tent and told him that Kangxi had woken up and wanted to see him, Chang Ning, Yue Le and other princes. At that moment, Fu Quan could not think too much and hurriedly entered the tent with Chang Ning and the others.
Behind the tent, Kangxi was seen lying on the roof of the tent with his head in despair. The eunuchs and maids were all kicked out, except for the accompanying concubine Guarjia, who was kneeling there with tears on her face.
