Prince of the Qing Dynasty

Failure to wipe out Galdan five years ago has always been Kangxi's heart disease.

Before and after paying homage to Xiaozhuang Mausoleum, he decided to conquer Galdan himself again, and let the crown prince act as an agent of state affairs.

"Yinfeng, after I leave, you will be in charge of state affairs for me. If you don't understand something, you can ask a few senior scholars. If you have different opinions, you can also discuss it. I am not afraid of you making mistakes, but I am afraid that you will learn. Nothing, do you understand?"

Before Kangxi left, he came to Yinfeng to have a heart-to-heart talk, "You have been to various ministries and yamen before, and you know what's going on, but you have never dealt with these political affairs by yourself. This time when I go out, you You can try it yourself. Only if you do it yourself, you will know what is going on. I can rest assured that you have several senior scholars in the imperial court. If you can’t reach an agreement on any decision, you can Write me to ask me. I fight wars, so I can give you some advice."

Yinfeng nodded: "I must follow Huang Ama's instructions. I will write down the daily court affairs in detail and present them to Huang Ama. No matter whether I can do a good job or not, I will do my best." Hope to get advice from Huang Ama."

Kangxi didn't ask Yinreng to write down everything he handled, but Kangxi was very happy to hear Yinreng say this respectfully, and he didn't reject it, so he smiled and said, "Okay, as long as you write it down , I will definitely see it, and I will definitely give you pointers!"

"However, I still hope that you can handle everything well, I believe in you!"

Kangxi smiled, and said again, "This time, I will take Suo'etu with me. He stays in the capital and disturbs you too much. I will take him out so that I can ask him to be a military counselor, so as to save him Stay alone in the capital and spend your time thinking about it."

Yinfeng agreed with Kangxi's approach very much, and nodded, and then heard Kangxi say: "This time I will take the eldest brother, and the third elder brother, the fourth elder brother, the fifth elder brother, and the seventh elder brother And eighth elder brother, these brothers of yours have grown up, I will take them out to practice and experience, and when they come back, I can send them a job! If they do well, I will give them seals when they come back. Jue, Yinfeng, what do you think?"

Kangxi thought, the brothers are all grown up now, and they can help him with many things. Moreover, after Yinreng ascends the throne in the future, wouldn't the brothers who have trained these abilities be able to assist Yinreng?Therefore, Kangxi felt that his move had a long-term vision.

For an emperor who already had fourteen sons, it was not Kangxi's ultimate goal to cultivate an excellent crown prince.He is strict with the crown prince, and he is also strict with the princes and brothers. Even if not all of them are as good as the crown prince, they must be able to handle errands, so that they are worthy of the status of the princes and brothers. .

Otherwise, if the princes and elder brothers are all like the princes of the previous Ming Dynasty, then the Qing Dynasty will be completely over!

Yinfeng smiled slightly: "I think Huang Ama's idea is very good. Brothers have grown up, so it is really time to go out and practice."

It is really impossible for Kangxi's elder brothers to be a noble but not to serve the people, and to eat and pay but not to manage affairs.Yinti, who Kangxi wants to take out, is 24 years old this year, Yinzhi is 19 years old, Yinzhen, Yinqi are 17 years old, Yinyou is 16 years old, and Yinhu is 15 years old. Bing, no accident, most of the people who come back here will have titles and be able to handle errands.

Experience the elder brothers and confer titles on the elder brothers, one is to train the elder brothers; second, when the elder brothers have power and status, they can contain the power of the crown prince.

However, it may not be good for Yinfeng to confer titles on the elder brothers.Yinzhi and Yinzhen have had a good relationship with him since they were young. If the two of them can become a county king, it will be beneficial to Yinreng after thinking about it.

On February 35th, the [-]th year of Kangxi, Kangxi led the soldiers from the middle road to set off to conquer Galdan for the second time.

Kangxi ordered Yinti and the minister of the interior, Suo'etu, to lead the vanguard battalion of the imperial camp and counselors for military aircraft; Yinzhi led the camp with a red flag inlaid; Yinzhen, Yinqi, Yinyou, and Yinhu were in charge of the eight banners and ten battalions separately: Yinzhen was ordered to accompany him and take charge of the Zhenghong Banner Yinqi led the Zhenghuang Banner battalion; Yinyou was ordered to lead the Xianghuang Banner camp; Yinhu followed the army.

The battle reports from the front kept sending Yinreng to know Kangxi's marching distance and anything that happened on the way.

——The army passed through Shahe, Nankou, and Huailai, and left Dushikou on the tenth day of the third month.Kangxi ordered the ministers of state affairs and others: After the export, set off early in the morning, station in Japan and China, and have one meal a day.On the [-]th, Sigese, the household servant, was sent to dig a well outside the mouth. Because he didn't know how many people a well could drink, he was dismissed and served as a soldier in the army.Kangxi ordered: When camping, the well is in the center, and officers and soldiers are sent to guard it, and it must not be damaged, so that the rear troops can take over and use it.On the twelfth, Kangxi withdrew from the camp at five drums and set off. Seeing that the sergeant was still in the camp, sleeping or eating, it was found out that the luggage arrived late, which affected the rest of the sergeant.

——Kangxi got up at five drums every day, checked the load in person, and then set off. When he arrived at the camp, it was almost noon, the luggage had arrived, and the sergeants and horses could rest.

—— On the [-]th, Kangxi marched to Gun Nuoer, and it was raining and snowing, and the soldiers had not set up camp yet.Kangxi stood by the roadside in his raincoat, and waited for the sergeants to set up camp before entering the palace. The sergeants had already cooked before eating.On the [-]th, the two routes of the Central Route Army joined together and advanced in order.Order two meals a day as usual.On the [-]th, Kangxi's birthday, the celebration banquet was stopped.On the fourth day of April, when Kangxi arrived in Habierhan, the envoys of the imperial court walked back from Galdan with memorials.The ministers of state affairs and others discussed that Galdan had the intention of fleeing.Kangxi said: If Fei Yang's ancient army arrives in Tula on schedule, Galdan will not be able to escape.

——On the tenth day of the lunar new year, Kangxi led his army to Ketu, but the Eastern Route Army had not yet arrived, and the Western Route Army was overwhelmed with soldiers and horses, so the Central Route Army was asked to wait; on the way there were rumors of Russian military aid Galdan.Therefore, some of the retinue ministers urged Kangxi to return to his teacher under the pretext that Galdan had fled far away.Kangxi said angrily: This time the army has been planned again and again.Now that our army has come here, Galdan may be captured, how can we retreat cowardly?On the [-]th, Kangxi issued an order to Heilongjiang, Shengjing, and Ningguta soldiers to garrison Suoyueerji Mountain to prevent Galdan from fleeing eastward.On the [-]th, because the enemy was close, Kangxi ordered all battalions, outposts, rebukes, and horse herds not to light up lights at night.

——On the first day of May, Kangxi led his army to Tuolingbulak, and ordered Yue Shenglong, the commander-in-chief of the enlistment, and others: "We are approaching Galdan now. When fighting against the enemy, there will be those below the lieutenant general who will retreat and disobey the order." , Fa-rectification played and heard.On the third day of the lunar new year, Kangxi instructed the army to fight, and the Minister of Internal Affairs, Chang Tai, drew a map of the formation according to the instructions, and ordered the whole army to follow the map.On the seventh day of the lunar month, Kangxi led the vanguard in front, and the armies spread their wings one by one to advance and stationed in Xibaltai.Kangxi secretly ordered all the battalions to wait in ambush with empty walls, and personally inspected the battalions.

This battle lasted for two or three months. Apart from the correspondence between Kangxi and Yinreng, Yinreng relied on these battle reports to learn about Kangxi's situation on the front line.Yinfeng couldn't go to the front line to participate in the battle in person, so he had to take out these battle reports to have a look at them in his spare time, and he could also deduce the situation on the front line in his mind.

On this day, when he came back from the Qianqing Gate to listen to the government, he went directly to Shi's place.

He didn't bother to read the battle report sent today, so he ordered De Zhu to submit it.

Seeing Yinreng reading the battle report under the lamp, Shi Shi could not help persuading Yinreng's red eyes, "Huang Ama is not in the palace, you have to come for everything these few months, you are already busy enough , I only sleep for two hours every day. Now that I'm back, I don't know what to do with these things after a rest. Huang Ama is not here, and you don't know how to be lazy. You don't have to spend time every day. Get up to recite, but get up earlier than before, people who don’t know, think you are saving your life! Yinfeng, take a rest, if you break your body, it will be bad!”

As soon as Shi's words fell, he saw Yinreng holding the battle report and laughing there, and even laughed out loud.

Shi Shi was not happy: "What are you laughing at? This is a good thing I said, is it so funny?"

Yinfeng raised his eyes, handed the battle report in his hand to Shi Shi to read, and said with a smile: "Look for yourself, you read what is written on it. Galdan knew that Huang Ama was coming, so he was so scared that he ran away all night. I suddenly thought Get up, Huang Ama wrote this in the letter yesterday. It said that after Galdan heard about Huang Ama's personal conquest, he didn't believe it at first, saying that Huang Ama didn't live in peace and contentment in the capital, but went to his waterless vast sea. Did he fly over there? Later, when Galdan climbed the North Mennar Mountain, he saw the scale of the army camp, the imperial camp with yellow tents and dragon banners, surrounded by Mancheng, and the outside was Wangcheng, the appearance of the army. At Ji Sheng, he turned pale with shock and believed that Huang Ama had really personally conscripted, so he ordered everyone to abandon their tents and equipment, and run away overnight."

After that, Kangxi went to Tuola Alin, led the minister of the bodyguard, Ma Siha, as the general of Pingbei, led Qingqi to chase Galdan, and went to meet Feiyanggu West Route Army.

"Huang Ama's personal conquest has been very hard, and the battle is huge. I know that Huang Ama is bound to destroy Galdan, but it is not easy for you in the capital. Although you did not follow, the capital Don't you need to worry about things big and small, both internal and external?"

Shi went to sit down in front of Yinreng, focused his eyes on his face, and said softly, "Yinreng, you're much thinner again. I'm really worried about your body."

Shi Shi knew from Gu Shi that Yinreng had made herself ill before, so in the past few months, seeing Yinreng working so hard, she couldn't help worrying, but this person didn't listen to persuasion, regardless of her In any case, he always had to finish his work before taking a break.

Yinfeng touched Shi's cheek, and said with a warm smile, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry too much, I have a sense of propriety. What's more, Huang Ama is fighting on the front line and asked me to act as an agent of state affairs. If I can't do well, When Huang Ama comes back, how should I face him?"

Shi couldn't help but hugged Yinreng's waist, and whispered in his ear: "I just love you, I think you have lost a lot of flesh, it's all bones, it's really disgusting."

Yinfeng smiled and was about to speak when he heard Dezhu outside: "Prince, Elder Brother Thirteen is here."

Shi Shi wondered: "Why did Elder Brother Thirteen come here? How could he come here at this hour?"

Yinfeng laughed and said: "I asked him to come here. The fourth brother told me when he left that he was afraid that Thirteen's studies would be relaxed after he left, so he asked me to supervise his studies and give him some advice when I had time. I haven't cared about Shisan for several days, and I happened to have some free time today, so I went to call him over."

Shi's heart felt sorry for Yinfeng's fatigue, but he didn't stop him, he just smiled and said: "Then you go see Elder Brother Thirteen, I asked someone to prepare some snacks and meals for you, you should use some."

Yinfeng smiled softly: "Yes, good."
