Prince Heng [Qing wear]

Now that the Qing army has gained an advantage, of course they must take advantage of the victory and pursue it.

Inside the camp, everyone was discussing the dispatch of troops.

"May I ask which lord is willing to ask for a fight? Now that the situation in Galdan is over, it is a good time for you lords to serve the country." Fuyuan General Fuquan smiled and stroked his beard.

"General, my two brothers are willing to be pioneers and serve the emperor." Minister Tong Guogang answered first.

Tong Guowei also nodded.

"Since that's the case, please ask the two uncles of the country to be the vanguard generals on the left and right wings, and open a way out for the army. I will wait for the two generals in the rear." Fuquan waved his hand and wrote the transfer order.

The elder brother stood aside and silently listened to the discussions of the ministers.Although he was named a deputy general by Khan Ama, he didn't have many chances to go to the battlefield.Uncle Wang was concerned about his status, so he had agreed with him in advance that he would be allowed to go to the battlefield to get some credit when the overall situation was settled.

So although he felt that the two elders were old, they might cause trouble if they went to the battlefield again.But after all, the two elders had rich experience in combat in the early years, and this time they took the initiative to ask for a fight. It is inevitable that he, a junior, would be a little arrogant when he opened his mouth.Uncle Yu also agreed that the two would go to the battlefield, so he couldn't say anything, he could only silently hope that the two would return safely.

The Qing army was divided into left and right wings, set up antler guns, and slowly advanced towards the Gardan camp.

Tong Guogang was the vanguard on the right and attacked the Galdan tribe from the side of the Paozi River; Tong Guowei was the vanguard on the left and led his troops to attack the Gardan camp from the mountainside.

It's just that the elder brother's wish came to nothing after all. In the evening, Tong Guogang, the minister of the interior, came back, but he was carried back lying on a stretcher.

General Tong Guogang led his army to attack Paozi River, rushed to the enemy's position first, was shot by the sudden shotgun of Galdan army, and died in battle.

There was silence in the camp, and even if everyone heard the news that his brother Tong Guowei led troops to break through the Galdan camp, the atmosphere in the camp did not become active at all.

General Tong Guogang is the eldest son of Prince Taibao Tong Tulai, the eldest brother of Empress Xiao Kangzhang, and the uncle of Kangxi.

Because he is the eldest son, he needs to take care of his younger siblings when his father is out fighting since he was a child, so he has the best relationship with his younger sister, Empress Xiaokangzhang.Coupled with Tong Guogang's straightforward personality, straightforwardness, and insistence, he must fight to the end even in the face of Kangxi.Compared with Tong Guowei's cowardly and easily swinging temperament, even though Tong Guowei is the father of Empress Xiao Yiren, Kangxi admires Tong Guogang more.

Such an important person lost his life on the battlefield, and everyone panicked.Even if this battle is won, I'm afraid it can only be offset.

"Report—" a soldier shouted outside the tent.

"Come in and talk back, what's the matter?" Fuquan motioned to the guard beside him, and the guard went out and let the little soldier in.

"Reporting to the general, the scout vanguard came to report. Galdan took advantage of the darkness and led the rest of his troops to escape. May I ask if we will pursue—"

Fuquan pondered for a while, anyway, they had already won, and now the most important thing is how to explain to the Lord Long Live that the country's uncle Tong Guogang died for the country, other things don't need to be too concerned.

"The order goes on, our army is not familiar with the terrain, so don't pursue it, so as not to fall into the enemy's trap." Fuquan said.

"The order will be followed."

After the order had been issued, Fuquan began to ask the opinions of other people in the account: "Do you have any other opinions, generals? If so, you can bring them up. Although this king is a great general, he is not a corrupt person. Everyone can discuss anything."

Fuquan is a celebrity around Long Live Lord. Now that Tong Guogang is dead again, without someone who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him, how can other people make trouble out of nothing and offend Prince Yu again.

Everyone shook their heads: "What the general said is very true, let's do as the general wants."

In the middle of the night, in the general's small tent.

"Wen Bing, it's so late, why don't you go to sleep?" A Linbao was a little puzzled, this kid always fell asleep right after lying down, why is he so abnormal today.He fought all day today, and he was too sleepy for a long time.

"I'm fine." Shi Shibiao shook his head, "I just miss my family a little bit. Brother, you haven't been home for a long time, right?"

"Yes, I have been stationed in Shengjing before, and now I am transferred to the front line to fight. I haven't seen that brat in my family for many years, and I don't know how he is now? Have you listened to his aunt obediently?"

"Your family's Qi Buchen has always been very well-behaved, but he is so ruthless that he always teases people." Shi Shibiao put down the book in his hand, got up and poured a glass of water.

They are both small generals, but their father has a high position and they are relatives, so they were assigned to the same tent. Talking like this now will not hinder other people.

"Huh! The family is full of brats. Our little aunt is the one who is so considerate. When I was stationed in Shengjing, she even knew how to send me things." A Linbao lay down on the bed and said with a smile, "The leather on the grassland is cheap. Well, when the time comes, buy a few more boxes of good ones and send them to my aunt."

"Then my uncle will thank you for Xiaoru first." Shi Shibiao put down the water glass, "seriously, Brother Alin Bao, now that Qi Buchen is growing up, don't you consider continuing the string? My sister can help take care of it." Qi Buchen, what about yourself? There is no shortage of bed warmers around you?"

"Forget it! I'm a man who can't afford to marry a wife. I'd better not harm a girl from a good family." A Linbao pretended to smile.

His dear sweetheart wife died shortly after giving birth to him.They grew up together, got to know each other well, and agreed that they would be a couple for the rest of their lives, so how could there be room for other women?

"His aunt has taken good care of the children, so I have nothing to worry about. That's it." A Linbao sighed, "This battle is almost over, and I don't know if we can return to Beijing to receive the reward , meet your family by the way."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult." Shi Shibiao turned on the bed and blew out the candles, "Master Tong Guogang died, the emperor may be furious. In addition, the general did not take advantage of the victory today and let Galdan run away. It is lucky that the emperor did not blame him. gone."

"Hey! We can't figure out the affairs of those important people. We should go to bed early. After falling asleep, there will be no troubles." A Linbao was careless, and fell asleep like this.

Shi Shibiao still couldn't sleep, he discovered a secret, a secret about the death of his uncle Tong Guogang.

Today he is also a member of the right-wing generals.He followed General Tong Guogang to kill the enemy everywhere.There was chaos on the battlefield, and everyone was red-eyed.He was born with stronger six senses than others, and when he realized something was wrong and looked back at the general, the general had already fallen off his horse.

On the surface, the general said that the general died from a sudden shotgun shot by the Galdan army, but he clearly felt that the shot came from behind, from the direction of the army.

It's just that he knows what's the use of this?He has no ability to find the murderer, but will bring disaster to the two families.These are just the games of big men, although it is a pity that such a hero who has made great contributions to the country like his father died in a conspiracy.But he couldn't do anything, he could only sigh with regret, which only added to his troubles.

Early the next morning, Yilaguke under Galdan's tent came to Fuquan's tent with a lowered flag, and asked to bring a letter to Yituxietuhan and Zebzundamba, saying that Jilonghutu Ketu is about to make peace with Daqing in the future.

In the general's account.

"Uncle Wang, Galdan has always been cunning, you can't trust the words of his envoy." Elder brother said to Prince Yu.

He regretted that he didn't stop Tong Guogang from going out before, and this time he wanted to dissuade Uncle Wang no matter what.

"But the Junggar tribe was originally my Qing people. Now that Galdan has surrendered, why should my great country care about a small tribe?" Prince Yu Fuquan didn't take the elder brother's words to heart. That's all for my little brother.I think he was also the son of Khan Ama back then.

"But..." Eldest Brother planned to argue on the grounds.

"Okay, big brother. You are not familiar with military affairs, so go back to your camp and read some military books. Come and send big brother back to the account."

"Yes, General."

The elder brother was reluctantly "invited" back to the camp by the guards.

In the Forbidden City, [-] miles away, Kangxi got the news that the Qing army had won, and was planning to plan an offensive strategy in detail, sending troops to block and suppress the remaining Galdan troops, flattening the remaining Galdan party, and annihilating them in one fell swoop.

But he got the news that Fuquan ordered the army to suspend the attack.

"What the hell is Prince Yu doing! Does he have any brains!" It was a good time to eliminate Galdan, but Fuquan missed the opportunity of the battle, which is absolutely unforgivable.

Because he received Kangxi's order, Prince Yu had no choice but to order to continue the pursuit.

It's just that Galdan withdrew from Ulan Butong to the north and set fire to the grassland along the way to prevent the Qing from pursuing troops. How could Prince Yu's army catch up.

It was the Mid-Autumn Festival of this year that Galdan envoy Jilong and others brought the Galdan oath to the Forbidden City, expressing to Kangxi that they would not dare to offend the Khalkha grassland again.

Emperor Kangxi said, "If you break your oath again and rob and cause trouble again, I will definitely prepare my troops and horses, and I will be ready now, and I will definitely ask for it. I will never stop!" Military affairs, just in case, so people were ordered to increase troops in Datong, Xuanfu, Gubeikou, Zhangjiakou and other places to guard against Galdan.

It was a happy event for the army to win, but Kangxi was not happy at all.Wasted so much manpower and material resources, but didn't get the result he wanted at all, and even hitched up with his uncle, it was simply terrible.

Inside the Qianqing Palace.

"I intend to personally go to greet General Tong Guogang's coffin." Kangxi put down the imperial brush in his hand.

"Long Live Lord, absolutely not. Even if you want to give such an honor to the First Class Duke, it's not reasonable." Minister of the Ministry of Rites said first.

"Master Shangshu is right. What's more, there are still Galdan rebels roaming outside, and there is still danger. I hope Long Live Lord think twice."

"Long Live Lord, please think twice!"

Kangxi sighed helplessly: "Forget it, then let the son-in-law Shang Zhilong go to meet the coffin of the first-class prince."

One day later, Kangxi ordered the elder brother to bring all the princes and officials to welcome Tong Guogang's coffin in person, and gave him 5000 taels of silver to sacrifice to the four altars, and posthumously called him Zhongyong.

Kangxi said: "Every time I think about it, it hurts so much!" He personally wrote the inscription for Tong Guogang, and praised his achievements a lot.

Although Tong Guogang's coffin was welcomed back, Tong Guogang's mausoleum is quite simple, and it was built on the Ulan Butong Grassland.Beside the tomb stands a statue of his crotch horse and two steles, accompanying him through centuries of ups and downs.

It was raining lightly on the grassland, but the fifth elder brother still stood in front of the stele.May held an umbrella for him on the side.

"What is brother thinking?"

"Wu Yue, you said that the merits and demerits of a person's life can really be recorded with such a tablet? If I die in the future, what will be written on it?"

May is unwilling to answer this kind of question: "Brother, it's raining heavily. Go back to your tent."

"Let's go."

The fifth elder brother got on the horse.

The two were running on the rainy grassland.

Whether it is merit or demerit, posterity will comment on it, as long as he has no regrets in his heart.
