Yinzhen said in a dark voice: "In their opinion, as long as they conquer the entire Qing Dynasty, there is no benefit. Moreover, Tsarist Russia did not sign the "Sino-Russian Treaty of Nerchinsk" willingly, and it did not harbor any treason against our Qing Dynasty.
Stopped.”
"Your Majesty, the top priority is to immediately send troops to support Yaksa. Tsarist Russia must not be allowed to cross the northeastern border. Otherwise, it will be even more difficult to force them back." This is Zhang Tingyu's opinion, and Yunli is also extremely concerned about this.
Agree, "Yes, with Yue Zhongqi on Jungar's side, they can hold on for a while, but there are no suitable generals on Yaksa's side, and there are not enough troops to launch an effective attack on Tsarist Russia."
Yinzhen also had the same idea in his mind. He looked at the Minister of War and said, "How many troops are there that can be used now?"
"The number of troops that can be mobilized immediately is less than 200,000, but they are scattered everywhere. I can use 800 li to rush them over immediately. The rest will take time to gather, which will take about two months, about
We can summon 300,000 people." In fact, these two months have already been the time for the Minister of War to say it through gritted teeth. After all, it is not an easy task to summon all 300,000 people in two months.
"
Yinzhen couldn't help but said: "I will give you one month. After one month, I will see an army of 300,000 people. As for the 200,000 people in advance, rush to Yaksa as quickly as possible to resist Tsarist Russia.
attack."
"Your Majesty, who will you send to lead this army of 200,000 people?" Zhang Tingyu asked. The garrison of Yaksa alone, regardless of whether he is still alive, is absolutely not qualified to command this army of 200,000 people based on his ability.
Yinzhen was silent. For a while, it was really difficult to decide on this candidate. The commander of the army must not only be brave and brave, but also have absolute courage and strategy.
At this time, Hongli stood up and said: "Huang Ama, I beg you to let me accompany these 200,000 soldiers to Yaksa. I will definitely defeat the Tsarist Russian army that invaded our Qing Dynasty."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hong Zhou also held up his hands and said: "Huang Ama, I am also willing to go with my fourth brother. I believe that we can win this battle!"
"Nonsense!" Yinzhen shouted involuntarily: "Do you think war is child's play? You just say you can win without knowing anything. Such blind confidence will only lead to big losses."
Hong Zhou said unconvinced: "Emperor Ama, I am not blindly confident, but I have real confidence. Although I have never been on the battlefield, I also know that if we lose confidence from the beginning, even if our strength is several times that of the enemy, we will not be able to defeat the enemy."
It won’t be useful.”
Hongli said: "Your Majesty, I swear, I will live up to my reputation as a great Qing Dynasty!"
Yinzhen snorted coldly and said: "Although you two are passable in martial arts, you have no experience in fighting. How can you lead an army? If the soldiers sacrifice innocent lives, can you afford it?"
Upon hearing this, Hongli hurriedly explained: "The emperor has misunderstood. I have never been to the battlefield to kill the enemy, so everything I learned is learned from books. How dare I lead the army rashly?"
I just want to go out with the army and have the opportunity to kill the enemy with my own hands."
"On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, and you may die at any time. The two brothers are worth a lot of money, how can you risk your lives." The speaker was Buddha. He stepped forward and knelt down and said: "When the late emperor was alive,
, I once accompanied the late emperor in the east and north, and killed countless enemies. Now that Tsarist Russia has violated the treaty signed with the late emperor, it is really shameless. I also ask the emperor to allow me to lead troops to Yaksa."
Yinzhen said nothing. Looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, Buddha Biao was undoubtedly the more suitable one. Not only had he been on the battlefield, but he also had experience in leadership.
After a long time, Yinzhen slowly said: "Now the government does not know much about the situation in Yaksa. Although there are two hundred thousand troops, it is not necessarily possible to defeat Tsarist Russia. It may even put your life in danger. Are you serious?
Are you willing to go?"
Buddha Biao said sonorously and forcefully: "Your Majesty, I am a member of the Qing Dynasty. It is the duty of a minister to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty. Moreover, I believe that I will not lose to those red-haired devils."
Yinzhen stood up and said loudly: "Okay, when you return from victory, I will personally host a banquet for you."
The Buddha knelt down excitedly and said: "Thank you so much, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!"
After they had finished speaking, Hongli said: "Your Majesty, I kindly ask you to go out with Master Fobiao."
Yinzhen glanced at him and said calmly: "It's enough to have the Buddha's symbol. You stay in the capital. During this period, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household will be very busy. In addition to the errands of the Ministry of Personnel, you should also pay more attention to these two sides."
Wear some, and so does Hong Zhou."
"But..." Hongli was about to say more, but Yinzhen had already glared at him and said, "There is no but, do you hear me clearly?"
Faced with Yinzhen's cold tone that left no room for negotiation, Hongli and Hongzhou could only bow their heads and agree, but they were somewhat unwilling to do so.
Afterwards, we discussed the issue of food and fodder for a long time. After all, whenever there is a war, food and fodder have already moved ahead before the army moves. This shows how important food and fodder is in marching and fighting.
After going to court, Hong Zhou followed Hong Li back to Prince Bao's Mansion. As soon as he entered the main hall, Hong Zhou put his hat on the table with all his strength and complained: "I don't know what Huang Ama is thinking, but it's so strange."
Let us stay in the capital."
In comparison, Hongli was much calmer. After sitting down in the chair, he said: "Huang Ama is also doing it for your own good. After all, we have no experience in fighting enemies. If we follow him rashly, it will be bad."
"Having said that, it is not the same thing to stay in the capital like this all the time, especially when we are facing an enemy in our belly. Junggar is so despicable in colluding with Tsarist Russia. I really want to kill them with my own hands."
"There will be a chance, but what we should do most right now is what Huang Ama said, take care of the affairs of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs, and ensure the delivery of food and grass as quickly as possible. This is related to whether we can win the war.
.”
"That's the only way it can be." Hong Zhou said helplessly. After thinking for a while, he suddenly said: "How is Hong Shi's side? Is there any movement recently?"
"No, everything is peaceful. Apart from occasionally going to the manor on the outskirts of Beijing, I stay in Prince Ding's mansion. I don't see any problems."
Hong Zhou frowned and said: "I always feel that Hong Shi is not such a safe and secure person. You should pay more attention to these things and not be careless."
Hongli took the tea and took a sip and said: "Even if you don't tell me, I will pay attention. This second brother is full of schemes and is not an easy person to deal with."
Hong Zhou nodded and said: "Do you think he will ask Emperor Ama to lead his troops? It is said that fighting is the best way to achieve meritorious service. If he can win a few battles, maybe he will join the emperor's army again like the time in Henan."
