So they lost, and they lost when they were outnumbered. When the army returned to the camp, their morale was as low as ever. This battle left thousands of them dead and more than 30,000 injured, including Soli.
Injured.
Yunli silently saw all this in his eyes. Facing his commander, the soldiers' eyes showed anger for the first time. If Yunli could realize his mistake earlier and lead them to fight Jungar,
How could they lose so miserably and unjustly?
When they walked to the firearms camp, a musketeer guard blocked Yunli's path and said angrily: "Your Majesty, why did you just watch those musketeers being killed by Jungar on the battlefield, but you didn't
If you are willing to take action, they are all living lives, why can you be so indifferent?"
Yunli was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: "I didn't expect that Galdan was already on guard and could block the musket."
"Since they blocked it, they should use other methods to deal with it. Why do they still have to shoot? Do you know that in this battle, the musketeers lost more than a thousand people. Since the establishment of the firearms battalion, they have never suffered
Such a heavy loss.”
"I don't want them to die, but life and death on the battlefield are very common things, and they are not something I can decide."
"No, this time, my lord, you can decide. If you had sent troops earlier or asked them to retreat earlier, so many people would not have died. My subordinates are not afraid of death. After all, they have thought about it when they became soldiers.
Sacrifice, but now the sacrifice is in vain, what does this mean?" The counselor looked excited and said: "After all, you just don't want to admit that you were wrong. In your eyes, right and wrong are thousands of different things.
The lives of our soldiers are more important."
Yunli's eyes darkened and he said in a low voice: "I have never thought of it this way!"
"But that's what you did! It's in vain that we have always believed in you. It's really..." The general did not say the next words because someone stopped him.
Suoli said: "There are losses and wins on the battlefield. Didn't the prince lead us to win several battles before, so that Zhun Geer couldn't hold his head up? Now it's just a loss, how can we deny this?
Come on, my lord. Okay, stop talking, hurry up and bury the brothers, don’t let them be exposed to the wild."
When the musketeers were massacred by Jungar soldiers, it was Soli who was the first to rush out with his men and prevent the musketeers from being injured in time. Therefore, the counselor was very grateful to him. When he saw what he said, he immediately left.
Yunli did not speak, but silently returned to his tent. After Suo Li followed him in, he knelt down and said, "My subordinate disobeys the prince's orders and disobeys military orders. Please deal with it."
Yunli smiled bitterly and said: "If I really deal with you, I'm afraid all the soldiers outside will turn against you." After signaling Suoli to get up, he suddenly said: "Sori, this time I made a very big mistake."
Suoli hesitated for a moment and uttered one word, "Yes, I understand that the prince does not want to lose to Galdan, but any decision you make now is related to the lives of thousands of soldiers. Now that you find that the layout is wrong
, we should make timely adjustments, and we should not let things get worse for the sake of face or anything else."
She originally thought that his excessive words would make Yunli unhappy, but Yunli just sighed and said, "I know, but I can't help it."
In fact, Suoli felt very strange from just now. He had been with Yunli for many years. Based on his understanding of Yunli, he shouldn't have made such a mistake. Now when he heard what Yunli said, he felt that something was wrong.
, tentatively said: "Your Majesty, what happened?"
Yunli waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. You go out and appease those soldiers."
After sending Sori out, Yunli let out a long sigh and made a fist with his right hand to hit his aching forehead. He could have won this battle, but the secret decree stated that in order to make Hongshi believe it, he must win this battle.
He was going to lose, and he was going to lose miserably, making Hongshi think he was being dragged along the border.
He has already done enough to play tricks, and he will also avoid fighting Jungar for a period of time, making Hongshi think that he failed in the battle, speeding up his actions in the capital, and not letting those soldiers die in vain.
News of the defeat at the border quickly spread to the capital, casting a shadow over the capital once again. People even began to panic, wondering whether Zhungar's side would attack near the capital like last time, or even attack the capital.
Entering the capital, considering the current capital, there is no strength to fight!
Only Yinzhen knew what was going on, so he didn't care about losing the battle. What he cared about now was Hongshi. Everything was almost as he wished, and he should take action soon.
By then, the father-son relationship between him and Hongshi will be completely over!
At this time, Hongshi was in the Kunning Palace, discussing the next move with the Nala family. He said: "Empress Eniang, Yunli failed at the border, and it is impossible to return to Beijing in a short time. The Fengtai camp and the infantry yamen are also
Now that we have it under control, can we take action?"
"The obstacles have been removed. It's okay to take action, but..." Nala frowned and said: "I always feel that something is wrong. It seems that everything is going too smoothly, which makes people feel uneasy."
Hongshi, who was quite excited at first, was like a bucket of cold water poured over his head when she said this. Originally, when Yunxiang was just sick, he had the same idea, but after observing it for so long, he should not have it.
It's suspicious why Nala suddenly mentioned it again.
He said nervously: "Didn't Huang Eniang say before that Huang Ama was not suspicious of my son? Why do you say that now?"
"I did think so before, but now I feel less certain." Nala hesitated and said: "After all, this matter is of great concern. Even if there is a trace of suspicion, it cannot be done. You should also understand
.”
Hongshi was a little discouraged and said: "Yes, I know, but what should I do now? Should I still stand still like this?" Seeing Nala nodding, he said unwillingly: "Your Majesty, when will I wait?
Is it considered a head?"
Nara glanced at him and said coldly: "What's wrong? You can't bear it anymore so quickly?"
Hongshi stood up quickly and said: "I don't mean that, I just think that waiting like this is really not an option. After all... the longer the time goes, the more variables there will be."
Nala didn't understand this truth, but she didn't dare to be careless about this matter. She got up and walked continuously in the palace. The sound of flower pot-soled shoes stepping on the gold bricks sounded in the ears of Hongshi and Xiao Ningzi.
It kept echoing, and when the sound suddenly stopped, Nala's voice sounded, "Wait another ten days. If there is no movement after ten days, take action immediately!"
