so

Seeing Fei Yanggu's worried expression, Yinhu just smiled lightly and asked, "Yinhu also knows that it's not easy to fight like this. Fei Shuai might as well just say it bluntly, what's the difficulty?"

"The encirclement of Galdan by the three armies is really magnificent. It is easy to think, but it is very rare to do it. The grassland is vast, and there are few people in Galdan. They are flexible and maneuverable. In this vast land, they quietly surrounded Gardan. Dan is such an old and cunning fox, how easy is it?" Because Kangxi has not yet formalized the tactics, the three-way encirclement is just what Yinhu said, and Fei Yanggu said without any grievances about the loopholes in this method: "Cross-through Regardless of whether our army can do it in the desert, we know that encirclement is a delicate job, and communication is the most important thing. Once the connection is interrupted, it is equivalent to fighting on our own, and there is no relationship between each other. It is extremely difficult to wipe out the Gar in one battle Dan's troops, let alone killed Galdan."

"What Fei Shuai said is true. Moxi Wuwu Daqing Station, fighting across the desert, and contacting the three armies are indeed big problems." Yinhu nodded, and pondered for a long time on the map before asking: "What did Fei Shuai say?" See, how is the best way to fight this battle?"

"Luring the enemy." Fei Yanggu twirled his beard and said with a smile: "This slave has been fighting with Galdan for these years, and he can guess a little bit of his mind. He came to station in Bayan Ulan, and he wanted to wait for the spring Go to fight Khalkha, and secondly, wait for my small group of Qing troops to attack him. They have few people, familiar roads, and run fast. Our army can't catch up. When they want to retreat, he will bite his tail again. Take a bite, and fight so many times, it will waste my national strength. If you fight too much, it is impossible for the Holy Majesty to be emptied of the treasury by a Galdan, maybe it’s okay. Galdan will be able to free up his hands , to annex Khalkha."

When Fei Yanggu said this, Yinhu already understood.But he frowned, shook his head slightly, and said: "Fei Shuai, this idea is good or bad, but it's not safe. If Galdan finds out where we set up an ambush and escapes early, all previous achievements in this war will be wasted. I know Fei Shuai knows Galdan well, and since Fei Shuai said so, Galdan probably wants to take the bait. However, Khan Ama will not agree."

Fei Yanggu thought for a while and laughed: "The slave is only [-]% sure. Eighth Brother is right, the Holy Majesty wants a [-]% chance of winning."

"No matter how much we guess now, it's useless. If Han Ama is encircled in three ways like I thought, Fei Shuai has to figure out a way, how to make the three armies communicate smoothly and complete the encirclement."

Fei Yanggu sighed, but still said: "If this is the case, we can only do it knowing that it cannot be done."

The news that Galdan was stationed in Bayan Ulan was sent back to Beijing, and Kangxi Longyan Dayue immediately decided to make another personal conquest to wipe out Galdan in one fell swoop.Bayan Ulang, a relative of Junggar, was ostracized in Junggar because he was once a subordinate of Galdan's enemy. When Galdan marched eastward, he led his tribe to escape and rushed all the way to Beijing to surrender.By the way, I brought excellent news: Galdan's men only had [-] cavalry at this time, and the clansman, women, and children included only [-].

Kangxi's plan was all "predicted" by Yinhu.Kangxi decided to use the momentum of thunder and ten times the enemy's soldiers to cross the desert and divide into three routes: east, middle and west, and encircle Galdan in Bayan Ulan. The battle is captured.

A country is a precision instrument, and at this time, every component begins to serve the war.A passionate enthusiasm surged among the Eight Banners.It has been a long time since I have experienced a war, and everyone is holding back their eagerness to make contributions, and they don't know when they will be able to fight.The Manchus won the world on horseback, and their titles were earned through solid military exploits. Without war, there would be no credit and no future.Anyone can see the burning hope in the eyes of the young disciples of the Eight Banners.

Although there are always some people who want to sing the tune of opposition, this does not affect Kangxi's decision.Kangxi inspected the defense of Gyeonggi intensively, checking the ordnance, horses, and food available in the army.

The news of the war quickly spread throughout the Forbidden City.Rongbao was sure that this matter was not rumored and the imperial decree had already been issued, so he went to Yuqing Palace to meet Yinfeng, and presented the letter that Yinhu left when he left to the crown prince.It had been five years since the last attack on Galdan. Although the weapons in the armory did not need to be repaired too much, the horses were already weak and weak.Yinhu knew that this battle was imminent. As early as spring and summer, when he was in charge of exploration matters, he used the excuse of setting up post stations in various parts of Mongolia to raise more water and grass in Abahai, Horqin and other places. More than 4000 war horses.I also contacted the caravans in Shandong, and secretly bought more than 500 camels when purchasing beef and mutton in various Mongolian banners, and they were raising them in Zhangjiakou at this time.Although this matter is a dangerous move for soldiers, it is precisely these things that Yinfeng needs at this time. With the ability of the prince, he naturally has a way to make these things that are not from the right path become logical.

Yinreng read the letter, said three "good" words in succession, and asked Cui Xi to give Rongbao 50 taels of silver, and promised him that he would be promoted to second-class guard once the battle was over.After getting settled in Rongbao, Yinreng went to Zhan Shifu to explain, and sent people to Monan to see if the horses that Yinhu sent someone to feed in advance were really as said in the letter.If that's the case, he's ready to claim credit.

The people sent out came back not long after, and Yinrong naturally got a satisfactory result: Yinhu's work has always been just right to make people feel at ease.Yinfeng found Suo'etu, completed the formalities, and then went to Qianqing Palace to see Kangxi.Kangxi was worried that the horses were not fat enough, so the good son relieved him of his urgent need, and Kangxi became more and more pleasing to the prince.Camels are used to transport materials, and it would be impossible to cross the desert without camels.Although there are not many [-] heads, it is rare that all of them have very high humps, are durable, and can go far, which makes Kangxi very satisfied.However, [-] war horses were not enough after all, and the matter of continuing to feed the horses was handed over to Yinfeng.

Yinzhen started to prepare grain and grass in early August. In more than two months, he mobilized more than 1 shi of grain from various places, but it was still not enough.But at that time, things should be done in secret, using various names that are not easy to arouse people's suspicion.The grains of the prefectures cannot be mobilized casually, and there are not many grains that can be used, so Yinzhen has the idea of ​​a rich businessman.Taking advantage of the Ministry of Household Affairs to stabilize prices after the earthquake in Shanxi, all rice and grain businesses in Shanxi, Shandong, Zhili, and Henan were strictly investigated. All the big merchants in the grain market copied it, and only then managed to scrape together [-] shi.Finally, since the decree has been issued at this time, things will of course go much smoother. Yinzhen thought that before the next spring, he would be able to adjust the [-] stones he had promised.However, this matter was suddenly out of his control.

Yinzhen is going to go out with the army.Kangxi meant that this job was done well, but he offended a lot of people, and he didn't want his son to leave an unkind, cruel and violent impression in the eyes of the ministers. Let Yinzhen hand over the errand.Regarding the governor of Zhili, Yu Chenglong, and the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Ma Qi, to supervise and transport the grain, although Yinzhen was unwilling, he could only do the same errands at hand, which made it easier for others.

In November, Kangxi held a grand military parade in Nanyuan【1】.Fengtai Daying Camp, Xiaoqi Battalion, Vanguard Battalion, Firearms Battalion and all the Imperial Guards and Luan Yiwei participated in this military parade.

Winter in Beijing is full of cold winds. There has just been a heavy snowfall, and it is the time when the snow is clear. There is still some residual white on the withered grass, reflecting crystals under the warm sun.

The officers and soldiers of each battalion are arranged neatly according to the different colors of the Eight Banners, with two yellow flags as the head, and two white flags, two red flags, and two blue flags below them.Kangxi was dressed in golden armor, riding on a tall royal horse, which was extraordinarily dazzling on the gray earth.In front of Yujia, there was a yellow cover, the color was golden, and it was embroidered with brocade, which was extremely gorgeous.The crown prince led the princes in bright yellow nail armor and followed behind Kangxi. Each of them held a strong bow in their hands and a barrel of sharp arrows on their backs.After the prince, there are ministers of the interior, imperial guards, university scholars, and ministers of the Ministry of War. All the subordinate officials are dressed in the nail armor of the flag they belong to, and ride on horses. Heroic.On both sides of the team are Luan Yiwei, all young and beautiful young men, each with a leopard tail gun, lined up in two teams, everyone holds the gun at the same angle, neat and uniform, it is really beautiful.Finally, there are two big banners, written in "clear" in both Manchu and Chinese languages.

The team led by Kangxi went through the battalions of the Eight Banners, but saw that the army was clean and morale was high, so they stood in front of the horse army and nodded to Tong Guowei, the Minister of the Guards.With a wave of Tong Guowei's hand, the team spread out neatly to both sides, leaving a large space.

On the wide practice field, a grass target was set up every twenty feet, and the soldiers headed by each battalion lined up one by one, riding their horses towards the easternmost target, and the distance between the two horses was only a few feet.The leading young man of the Zhenghuang Banner drew in the reins at the easternmost target, turned his horse's head to the west, then let go of the reins, drew an arrow from the quiver on his back, and shot it out as if it had just touched the bow. Before one arrow reaches the target, the galloping horse has already reached the shooting point of the second target, and the young man shoots another arrow at lightning speed, and so on and on, until a barrel of thirteen arrows is shot, and then As if in a split second, the thirteen arrows were firmly nailed to the center of the target, absolutely right!

The sharpshooters of the banners following behind all galloped from east to west, and shot thirteen arrows one after another, none of them missed the target. The dense arrow feathers pierced the straw target and almost shot through the target.

Kangxi looked at it from a distance, and couldn't help sighing: "Okay!" Then he asked Tong Guowei next to him: "Uncle, the guard at the head is Zhenghuangqi, which family does it belong to?"

Tong Guowei hurriedly replied, "It's Mingzhu's grandson, Fulton."

Kangxi asked: "I remember that he was Lao Ba's haha ​​bead?"

Tong Guowei replied with a smile: "Your majesty is wise, and Empress Xiaozhuang Wen personally chose it for the eighth elder brother."

Kangxi nodded, and unconsciously looked to the northwest, with a somewhat melancholy look on his face.Tong Guowei had a panoramic view of everything, and an unclear smile appeared on his face.

After the riding and shooting performance, it is the firearms battalion.The shotgun infantry of the Firearms Battalion of the Han Army is in the middle, and the artillery positions are arranged on the left and right.A soldier on each side of the team blew their horns together, and the horns made of rhinoceros horns made a loud and long sound.As soon as the sound of the horn fell, there were three thunderous snare drums.The sound of the drum is the order of the soldiers. When the drum is ordered, the infantry raises the cannon, and all the soldiers march forward for about fifty steps.No one gave an order, but as if there was a silent order, all the guns were fired at the sky at the same moment, and the huge sound made the whole earth tremble.

Before everyone could react from the shock, there were three more beeps, and the soldiers of the Firearms Battalion moved forward again.After fifty steps, another round of shooting!Go back and forth like this for ten rounds before reaching the predetermined shooting position.On the hilltop one mile away, someone had already set up a small hut as a target.The artillerymen raised their cannons and lined up on both sides, aiming at the top of the mountain. Among the shotgun cavalry, only one came out, and it was Dai Zi.He checked the angles of each gun, and nodded to the commander in the distance.The whistle of the order was buried under the sound of the cannons, and the first shot of the shed was shot. More than fifty cannons bombarded the shed in turn, and the shed was blown into ashes. Shorter.

The young men and generals of the Eight Banners, their desire for war and their bloodthirsty impulses were all ablaze in their hearts. They raised their swords and spears high and shouted with the highest voice: "Victory! Victory! Long live! Long live! !"

Yinzhen looked around, and couldn't help but cheer up.The nearly three months of hard work were all for the soldiers of the Eight Banners, and Yinzhen couldn't help feeling that it was worth it.He looked up at the back of Kangxi in front of him, the golden embroidered dragon seemed to take off, making his Khan Ama even taller.If one day, he can stand in front of the three armies like this, no matter what he pays, Yin Zhen will feel it is worth it.

Waves of loud voices infected the solemn-looking princes. Yinzhen was young, looking at the thousands of troops in the distance, he couldn't help raising his bow, and shouted along with the soldiers: " Must win!"

The Bi Sheng shouted out with all his strength, with the unique sonority of a child, instantly infected all the princes, princes and ministers, and everyone shouted heartily: "Must Victory! Bi Victory! Long Live! Long Live!"

The Firearms Battalion returned neatly amidst cheers.The cold of winter was dispelled by amazing enthusiasm, the snow melted and the sky became clearer.

Kangxi rode his horse to the front of the palace, the crown prince and other princes followed, Kangxi was the leader, the crown prince was next, and the princes were in order of age, each shot two arrows on horseback and on foot, and they all hit.The cheers sounded again, and the grand military parade ended in the cheers.

Seeing that Yinzhen was still there in a daze, Yinzhen went over to pull him, Yinzhen smiled and said, "It's a pity, myna is not here."

Yinzhen patted Yinzhen on the shoulder and said, "He is closer to the battlefield than us."

The author has something to say:

[1] This military parade is recorded in detail in Kangxi's Records. I think it is much better than mine. I will use it to show you how to use soldiers and rewards and punishments.Today's big reading, I will issue an edict to express persuasion and punishment.The edict said, "Since the dynasty has used troops, it has been invincible.Field battles win.If you siege a city, you can overcome it.Only bows, arrows, swords and halberds are used.Since the Three Rebellions, the south has been filled with paddy fields.Although the thieves use firearms to fight each other, they are invincible to all enemies they encounter.Based on the facts, I have gained insight, specially set up firearms, prepared guns, and handed over the Eight Banners.Because of this, the divine power of our dynasty has shaken the four regions.Today, the wandering soul of Galdan rests in the vicinity of Khalkha, stealing and looting wantonly.I want to die in one fell swoop.It is to sort out all roads, supplies, equipment, and plan well.It is the teacher's move, which is different from the past.Zier below the generals and above the servants, everyone should work hard.If you don't meet the enemy, you don't need to say anything.If the enemy wins and returns, I will be very grateful.Those who died in battle, in addition to being rewarded with value as usual.Hujun and Zeyin's sons are paid by officials of the seventh rank.Xiaoqi and Zeyin's sons are the eighth-rank official's food salary.If there is no child, the widow will be given to his widow according to his own money and food until he grows old.The borrowed public treasury official silver will be extended.If you violate the military order, don't be as embarrassing as before.The crime must be punished according to the law of Taizu Taizong Shizu Emperor.The announcement is over.So the officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners were organized into three teams.In the first team, the shotgun infantry of the Han Army Firearms Battalion is in the middle, with the artillery positions arranged on the left and right, and the Manchurian Firearms Battalion Shotgun Horse Army is arranged at both ends of the artillery positions.The second team, with the forward soldiers in the center, and the Eight Banners guards, continue to line up at the two ends.The third team, line up the Eight Banners Guards.On the two wings, reinforcements should be set up.The crown prince and the princes are all in charge.Front yellow cover.The ministers of the interior, the imperial bodyguards, the academicians, and the ministers of the Ministry of War all serve as retinues.Followed by guards with leopard tail guns.There are two big banners behind the gun.The guards of the upper three banners were all punished.Read the Eight Banners Army Formation and the Firearms Battalion all over the world.Neutral before the horse army.Mingjiao beat the drum three times.The infantry raised the antler cannon.All the soldiers marched together.Ming Jin and stop.Fire a salvo.So nine advances.to ten times.Repeating cannons.The horse infantry of the firearms battalion, after firing the shotgun in a loop, each opened the antlers as the door.The last two teams of cavalry go out one by one.Lizzie.Ming horn.He shouted and marched into the corner of Fuming to close the army.Stand in this formation.Team Xu Xuan.The ranks are very neat.His palace army stood behind him.At that time, Amu Hulang, the descendant of Galdan, and others were horrified and trembling when they saw it.Go up to the front of the palace.Lead the crown prince, the princes, the armored cavalry to shoot the cavalry shooter, and the foot shooter again, all of them hit.Finished shooting.Give the officers and soldiers a banquet.
