On the eighth day of the ninth month of the first year of Xuantong, at Chen time, after ascertaining the enemy's situation in the first few days of the battle, Kangxi ordered a general attack in the imperial camp in order to deliver a fatal blow to the Guan Ning bandit army in front of them. He quickly sent his troops to the north to intimidate the Junggar cavalry who were sharpening their swords and eager to try.
.【】uu
Prince Shajin of Horqin received an urgent report a few days ago, saying that Galdan led 60,000 cavalry from Mobei and swept through the tribes in Monan.
Coming from the direction of Beijing.
Sha Jin asked the envoy to report urgently to His Majesty the Great Emperor that he must send a large army to the north to stop the enemy. Galdan must not be taken lightly. His wolfish ambition is as clear as Sima Zhao's. Everyone knows it. If the Celestial Empire does not show its strength, he will not know the depth and secretly think that the Celestial Empire
Man, the great emperor is easy to bully! If he tries too hard, the Mongolian Great Wall of the Qing Dynasty will be in danger!
Based on this analysis, Mingzhu and others found that Ge Erdan changed his previous slow attack and abandoned Mobei and attacked Monan. This was obviously related to the momentum of Guan Ning's bandit army. To some extent, the continuous victories of Guan Ning's army outside the pass stimulated
The Zungar people were in a state of turmoil, and perhaps the two sides had colluded. This time Galdan suddenly went south in large numbers. The drunkard's intention was not to drink. His goal was definitely not to annex the Monan tribes, but to go towards the emperor.
Prince Jian Yabu made it clear: "Gerdan is delusional and wants to achieve great success in Shengjing with Guan Ning's thieves!"
"Do you really think that I am made of paper and easy to bully? A Bodhisattva made of clay still has three-part nature, how much more can I be the emperor of my country!"
The original purpose of Yujia coming out of the pass was to pacify the Wu army outside the pass. He sent his troops to the north and attacked Galdan's hometown of Mobei Mongolia with lightning speed, in order to force Galdan to give up his annexation of Mobei. Now, Geerdan
However, Erdan came straight towards him. No matter how calm Kangxi was or if he waved his hands calmly, he was still furious.
Forget it, since the wolf is here too, let’s fight it too!
"The order was passed. Prince Kang led the vanguard and guarded the camp with 6,000 cavalry. At dawn, they rushed directly in front of the Guanning rebels. General An Zhuhu of Shengjing, infantry commander Xi Zhu and the generals of the Eight Banners with a total of 30,000 troops followed him.
Finally, I will wipe out these clowns left behind by Wu Sangui in one fell swoop!"
After ordering the general attack, Kangxi suddenly felt relaxed and breathed out subconsciously. The princes, ministers, generals and commanders were also impassioned and excited, waiting for dawn to make great achievements and wipe out these ignorant people in one fell swoop.
Thieves and Rakshasa ghosts.
Just when he was waving his hands for everyone to leave, he caught a glimpse of Gao Shiqi, the academician, but his eyes flickered and he hesitated to speak. Kangxi knew his character and things would not be like this, so he couldn't help but ask him: "Gao Shiqi, you have something to say."
I said?" The implication is that you can just say what you want to say, it is not convenient to do so.
"Emperor!"
Seeing that the emperor had arrived, Gao Shiqi hurriedly came out of the queue and said: "Your Majesty, I think that in addition to quelling the main force of Guan Ning in Qingyuan, there is another matter that needs to be solved by a capable person, otherwise it will definitely be a disaster."
"What's the matter?" Kangxi raised his eyebrows and looked at Gao Shiqi.
Gao Shiqi said with some worry: "Prince Anjun led his troops south to search for the enemies of Jinzhou. However, no definite news has been received so far, so I thought something was wrong." At this point, Gao Shiqi's eyes became even more worried.
.
Xi didn't like it most when his ministers always spoke half-speech. Gao Shiqi's words made him feel a sudden shock, and he frowned and asked him to speak directly.
"Yes, Emperor."
Gao Shiqi did not dare to delay. He took a few steps forward and pointed to the map outside the pass hanging behind Kangxi. His eyes fell on the narrow passage in the south of Jinzhou and said in a deep voice: "I am thinking, what if the Guanning army in Jinzhou is defeated?"
If the partial army ignores it and goes all the way south, heading towards Shanhaiguan, the consequences will be disastrous."
"!"
As soon as this statement came out, not only Kangxi was startled, but everyone in the tent also cried out in surprise, but then they all shook their heads. This matter was too unbelievable, and it was really hard to believe. Not to mention the south of Jinzhou
, there are several large and small city guards to the north of Shanhaiguan, with thousands of soldiers. Even Shanhaiguan also has a green camp. If the cannon is in hand, the bandits will flee under the pass, and they can only sigh at the pass, and are not allowed to enter the pass.
Some people secretly exclaimed, "It's not good." This is because the emperor's military expedition has depleted all the troops in the capital. The city of Beijing is now an empty city. If the rebel soldiers really risked the entire army to be annihilated and attack the city,
One bad thing, I really don’t know whether the city of Beijing will be captured by their blind cats. If the capital is occupied by thieves, the sky of the Qing Dynasty will really fall!
Kangxi's face turned blue and white, and Gao Shiqi looked at the map behind him for a while. The further he went, the less he dared to imagine the consequences of what Gao Shiqi said. His dragon chair was not the only thing in the capital.
With the empress dowager, empress, and prince still here, half of the Qing Dynasty's foundation is resting in Beijing. If the thieves really take over, I won't be able to redeem myself even if I die!
Seeing that the emperor and the princes were so frightened, Gao Shiqi hurriedly said: "I just have this worry, and there is no reliable letter from Prince An, so I always feel uneasy. But I wonder how the thieves have this
He is capable, and there are princes and Suotang in the capital, and the traitors are just a ragtag group of people, how can they really do such a big thing?"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Kangxi's wave. Kangxi's heart was beating "thumping" and his eyes were filled with pearls: "Is there any news about Yue Le?"
Mingzhu panicked and hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, everyone will send back the news that Jinzhou was breached. Prince An led his troops southward and reported twice. He said that he was searching around Jinzhou, but no thieves were found yet.
The traces are expected to be running towards Mongolia, or perhaps escaping over the Black Mountains towards the Ninggu Pagoda area. The latest report is from four days ago, and I estimate that there should be a report today and tomorrow."
Before he finished speaking, a rapid and sharp voice was heard outside the tent:
"Urgent report! Urgent report!"
A guard stopped him outside the tent and asked, "Where is the urgent report?!"
The person who reported the message ignored the guards who were blocking him, and rushed towards the imperial tent while driving them away, shouting loudly: "An urgent report from Wang Yuele of Anjun! Urgent report from Anjun Wang Yuele!"
Before anyone could enter the tent, Kangxi, Gao Shiqi and others in the tent had already changed their faces, because from the urgent voice of the messenger, they caught a hint of ominous meaning.
"Reporting to the emperor, after over ten thousand cavalry of Guan Ning's army broke through Jinzhou, they went all the way south, killing all the people and burning all the cities and towns wherever they went. They have now deceived the gates of Shanhaiguan and headed for the capital!"
The person who reported the news was a knight from the Riding School. As soon as he entered the tent, he knelt there and shouted non-stop.
When Kangxi heard this, he was only one person short of being able to stand still. He shook his body a few times before he could stand still, and did not stage a "fainting" scene again in front of all his ministers.
"Where is Yue Le?!"
Not caring about losing his composure, Kangxi anxiously grabbed the shoulder of the knight and shook him.
I am mobilizing my troops to attack Shanhaiguan!" It was the first time for the Xiaoqiu School to arrive at Huangtianyan. I don't know whether he was excited or scared, and he was speechless, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please ask the Emperor to lead his army back!"
