"If we really wait a month, the capital will change hands." Yinzhen shouted coldly: "I will give you five days. After five days, you must mobilize 100,000 troops for me, Fengtai and Tongzhou.
The second battalion is at your disposal."
Yunli said: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, the capital will have no available troops except the infantry yamen. I think Fengtai and Tongzhou should set aside at least one battalion to protect the safety of the capital."
Ertai also said: "Your Majesty, if what the prince said is true, the capital must not be defenseless, so we should keep the Fengtai camp. As for the lack of troops, I will work with the minister to think of a solution. In addition, the firearms camp will be equipped with
There are muskets, not to mention that one can block ten, but as long as they are used properly, thousands of people can be used as tens of thousands."
Seeing that what he said was reasonable, Yinzhen said: "Okay, let's keep the Fengtai Camp. In addition, is there still enough food and grass in the Ministry of Revenue now?"
The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue hurriedly stepped forward and said: "To inform the emperor, the autumn harvest has just passed, taxes have been collected, and the grain and grass are still sufficient. Even if there is a shortage later, grain can be transferred from various provinces, and there should be no big problem.
"
Yinzhen nodded and said: "In addition to the strength of the troops and food, there is another thing, which is who will lead the army in five days?"
As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly fell silent. The war four years ago is still vivid in my mind. From the fact that Galdan knew that he colluded with Tsarist Russia to send troops together, which made the Qing Dynasty suffer from enemies from both sides, it can be seen that this man has a lot of scheming. Although there are many people in the court
There are many people who are good at conquering and fighting, but they all fall short of him in terms of scheming, not to mention that in such a hasty situation, it is appropriate to accept the gift, but he... has a disease in his legs and cannot go on the expedition.
The longer time passed, the more impatient Yinzhen looked, and he coughed and said, "Can't I find someone who can lead troops despite my great power?"
At this time, Actun gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, I once went on an expedition with the late emperor. If the emperor can trust me, I will lead the army on the expedition. I am willing to swear that as long as I am alive, I will never let Junggardo step in.
I'll take a clear step."
Yunli also said: "Your Majesty, I have fought against Jungar before. It is better for me to lead the troops. I believe that I can defeat Junggar again."
Yinzhen shook his head and said: "How can you go to war with your legs like this? Moreover, you need to help me take care of the affairs in the court. I am not mentally strong enough to cope alone." After that, he turned his eyes and said,
Falling on Acton, he also shook his head and said: "Although you went on an expedition with Emperor Ama in your early years, it was decades ago after all, and you are not familiar with many things."
After a wordless silence, Yunli said: "What does the emperor think of Li Shumi?"
"Li Shumi?" Yinzhen murmured this familiar name, and it took him a while to remember who it was. "You mean the Li Shumi who was discharged from the army due to committing a crime? I remember that he has not been in the court for many years. What do you think?
Mention him suddenly?"
"Yes, I have had contact with him several times before. He was also a fierce general under Yue Zhongqi. However, he became complacent for a while, committed something, and was impeached and dismissed. Since the imperial court is hiring people now, why not
He enabled him so that he could be punished and perform meritorious service?"
Yinzhen hesitated and said: "Is this person really a fierce general?"
Yunli said affirmatively: "Yes, Yue Zhongqi has praised him before, saying that being brave and good at fighting is very rare, and what he originally committed was not a big crime."
After the ceremony, Ertai also said: "Your Majesty, I remembered that this Li Shubi is here. As the prince said, he is a fierce general who should be able to block Jungar's attack."
Yinzhen slapped the armrest hard and said: "Okay, since you all said so, I will let Li Shumi take the blame and perform meritorious service. I hope he will not disappoint me!"
The matter was decided, and Yinzhen ordered Li Shumi to be appointed. Five days later, he led an army of 100,000 to block Jungar's attack until Fobiao led troops to return for reinforcements.
After the Ministry of War mobilizes these 100,000 troops, it will continue to mobilize troops from various places. Yinzhen is tired of Junggar's repeated attacks. This time, he is determined to completely annihilate Junggar and avoid future troubles.
After Ortai and others withdrew, Yunli stayed and said: "Your Majesty, since there is nothing going on with Tsarist Russia and there is no point in negotiating with Fourth Brother, we should let him come back quickly. There are things happening everywhere in the court now."
, we are really in need of people.”
Yinzhen didn't say anything, but handed him the urgent report of the Buddha's standard. He didn't mention it just now, so Yunli didn't know about it until now. He closed the urgent report with a solemn expression: "Buddha's standard
The emergency report said that Brother Si has returned to Beijing, but he has not been seen, and something seems wrong."
Yinzhen said with a gloomy face: "You know about Hong Zhou. If this matter is really done by Hong Shi, his hatred for Hong Li is much greater than that of Hong Zhou."
Yunli said horrified: "Your Majesty is saying... the fourth brother may have been attacked?"
"I don't want this guess to be true, but I...can't lie to myself." Yinzhen took a deep breath, held back the sourness on the tip of his nose, and said solemnly: "If something really happens to Hongli, I will do everything."
All men, women, and children in Jungar will be buried with him, and they will never break their promise!"
Yunli was silent for a moment and said: "The fourth elder brother is a lucky man. We all thought he was dead in Fuzhou before, but didn't he come back alive in the end? So I believe that the fourth elder brother can turn disaster into good luck this time."
"
Yinzhen nodded and said: "Don't spread this matter out for the time being. We will wait until the matter becomes clear."
Yunli knew that he was afraid that if the news spread, it would cause panic among the whole court and... Concubine Xi immediately said: "Yes, I know what to do. If the emperor has no other instructions, I will retire first."
When Yunli left the Yangxin Hall, the sky had darkened, and the last ray of sunset was gradually swallowed up by the darkness, but none of this could stop Yinzhen from going to Leng Palace.
At this time, Dai Jia was in Chengqian Palace, talking to Ling Ruo about what had just happened, and said in shock: "When I heard the emperor's questioning, I was so panicked that I didn't know how to answer, but Hongzhan got angry again.
, tit for tat with the emperor, and almost caused trouble. If I had known this, no matter how much Hongzhan begged, I would not take him to Xinzheku. This child is really not easy to worry about. "
After Ling Ruo listened carefully to what she said, she said, "It's been so many years, and Hongzhan has never made such a request before. Why did he suddenly think of going to Xinzheku this time?"
"I don't know either. I originally thought that Brother Six would miss his biological mother and just take him to meet him. Who would have thought that he would actually go to the emperor to ask the emperor to let Liu go, which made me frightened." At this point, I thought.
At this point, Dai Jia suddenly remembered something and murmured: "Could it be... related to that?"
