The most worrying thing among them is that if Wen Ruyan and Zhun Geer start an army, then Han Yan, the princess of the Qing Dynasty, will be the first to bear the brunt. What if the Khan King Galdan becomes crazy and does something cruel?
The consequences are disastrous.
The more Wen Ruyan thought about it, the more worried she became. She went to see Yinzhen several times to get some news about Han Yan, even if it was just a few words. However, Yinzhen only saw her once and told her to go back to the palace and stay in peace and not think too much.
There was no mention of the cigarette smoke situation or whether there would be any problems.
As time went by, news about Jungar kept coming. It turned out that Jungar had never thought about joining forces with the Qing Dynasty. The so-called marriage and designation of the emperor's legitimate daughter were just out of temptation.
It's just a purpose. Galdan knew very well that under normal circumstances, with the strong attitude that the Qing Dynasty usually had, he would never agree to the marriage of his legitimate daughter, and the eldest daughter was already the biggest concession.
But this time the Qing Dynasty actually agreed. In addition, the Guo Luoke war was still undecided. Galdan keenly judged that the Qing Dynasty was now taking care of itself and it was the best time to raise troops. Moreover, the Qing Dynasty believed that after the marriage, both parties would be at peace with each other.
If nothing happens, the border guards will definitely be relaxed and vulnerable.
Things went as Galdan expected. The border guard was no match for Jungel's army. The army had already reached the city before the guard could react. As for the outcome of the battle, needless to say, overnight, the city gate was blocked.
The army was defeated, and all the captives fled. As for the people in the city, they all fled with their families overnight.
Galdan's goal has never been a princess or money, but the entire Central Plains; he wants to repeat the same process nearly a hundred years ago when the Qing troops entered the country to seize the world, seizing thousands of miles of land.
This news reached the capital on the first day of the first lunar month. Yinzhen stayed up all night and Yunxiang and others were here to discuss countermeasures. Nian Gengyao and Yue Zhongqi were both stuck to Guo Luoke and could not be used. At the moment, who else could be brought in the capital?
Soldiers against the enemy.
Someone proposed to accept the offer, but Yinzhen refused, and all the ministers were warned not to mention it again. Then Yunxiang volunteered for the offer, but Yinzhen was worried about his health and refused.
After rejecting two in a row, the ministers could no longer propose a suitable candidate. Faced with the rebellion of the foreign tribes, the Qing Dynasty could not find a general who could put down the rebellion. This made Yinzhen Longyan furious and said:
When he really couldn't find a candidate, he took charge of the army and went on a personal expedition, vowing to pacify Jungel and capture Galdan alive, a treacherous and despicable villain.
The ministers hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, and after deliberation at midnight, they decided to appoint Yunhu and Yunzhen to lead the left army; Song Kejin led the right army to conquer Galdan.
Song Kejin is Yue Zhongqi's right-hand subordinate, who was temporarily transferred from Qinghai. Originally, Yue Zhongqi was the most suitable one, as he had experienced hundreds of battles. Unfortunately, Yinzhen ordered him to set a trap for Nian Gengyao before, but now is the time to pull it off.
If you can't move, all your previous efforts will be wasted; you can only let his subordinates conquer on your behalf.
However, Song Kejin is also a strange person. He was originally an unknown soldier. In the battle of Luobu Zangdanjin, he became Yue Zhongqi's deputy general by virtue of his numerous military achievements in defeating the enemy.
The army had not moved, and food and grass had to go first. While gathering the army, Yinzhen ordered the Ministry of Household Affairs, and all officials from the minister level down, to fully support the expedition and ensure that there was enough food and grass.
Fortunately, the severe drought did not continue after autumn, and food and grass were barely in supply. However, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue told Yinzhen that the food and grass could last for two months at most. If the rebellion was not determined after two months, and Nian Gengyao
If there is no good news from there, there will be a shortage of food and grass supplies. At that time, we will have to choose one of the two, otherwise both sides will collapse.
In any case, the two armies on the left and right set off smoothly to conquer Junggar. Yinzhen did not trust Yunhu and the two men to lead the troops, so Song Kejin had another secret mission in addition to conquering Junggar, which was to monitor Yunhu.
The army on the left, and control it when he makes any changes.
In terms of the ability to lead troops alone, Yunzi is not as good as Yunqi who has been leading troops all year round. Even if the two of them are put together, they are not as good as him. However, because of this, Yinzhen can rest assured to let them lead troops. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it will be extremely difficult to clean up.
trouble.
In addition, there is also a rumor that has spread a lot that the envoy who came to Beijing to seek marriage was Galdan himself, in order to personally find out the reality of the Qing Dynasty in order to decide whether to send troops. As for the truth of the news, there is no way of knowing.
In the spring of the third year of Yongzheng's reign, military intelligence reports continued to reach the capital. The expedition against Zhun Geer did not go smoothly.
Lu Dajun suffered a series of misfortunes
The Qing army was defeated, and the Qing army's external strength and internal strength were also noticed by Galdan. He took the opportunity to go south and advance all the way. The atmosphere in the capital and even the harem was filled with tension, so everyone was discussing this matter, lest Zhun Geer didn't know about it.
When will bi enter the capital?
In desperation, Yinzhen finally agreed to temporarily increase taxes, but he also ordered all prefectures and counties to post notices that as soon as the rebellion was put down, the people's taxes for the next year would be immediately reduced.
Under such a conciliatory policy, the issue of raising taxes did not cause any trouble. With the silver grain, the conquest could naturally continue. After Yunxiang recommended himself many times, Yinzhen finally agreed to his request and let him take over.
The army on the left joined forces with Song Kejin to conquer. At this time
, the Qing army suffered another disastrous defeat. Galdan was already close to the Sarik River, less than 60 kilometers away from the capital, and the capital was under martial law. If Yunxiang cannot win this time, then the capital will become the last resort to face Galdan.
Once this line of defense fails, the capital will change hands.
The people in the palace were so panicked that they no longer wanted to appreciate the beautiful spring scenery. They couldn't help but ask the palace people around them to inquire about the news and see if Galdan had come in again.
They are in the harem and have long been accustomed to the glory and wealth. Once the army is defeated and the city is broken, they will be displaced or become prisoners. Such a life is something they dare not imagine.
The only person who didn't care about this was Wen Ruyan. She wanted to know the news about Han Yan. The more she wanted to know, the less likely she was to find out. Han Yan had completely disappeared from everyone's sight, and the war was in chaos with constant fighting, so there was no way to find out.
.
As for Ling Ruo, in addition to worrying about Zhungeer, he was also worried about Yinzhen's health. Since the news of Zhungeer's invasion came, he has never set foot in the harem again. He has not seen him in the past two months.
one side.
I hate Yinzhen's ruthlessness in my heart, but I still can't let it go. I'm afraid that he will be too busy dealing with government affairs, not caring about his health, not eating on time, and hurting his stomach, which is not good at all.
The news from Sixi is indeed true. Yinzhen has hardly had a good meal in so many days. Whenever he is so hungry that he can't stand it anymore, he asks the imperial kitchen to prepare a few dishes at will, and then
Just eat a little bit.
