After I was reborn, I became a plug-in for the country

Although Kangxi had made a judgment in his heart, he still wanted to verify it again, so he asked Liang Jiugong to prepare paper and ink and draw the general appearance of the Russian envoy himself.

Holding the portrait, he asked solemnly, "Is it almost the same as this person?"

Prince Horqin only glanced at it twice, and without thinking, he said with certainty: "There is no mistake." Although the portrait was scribbled, the spies who reported it back were eager to report, so he remembered it very clearly.

"I remembered, this man is from that Russia!"

He remembered that two years ago, the man in the portrait led people past their tribe's camp, and asked Horqin's tribe for the way.

Kangxi's heart sank, why did the Russians get mixed up with the Junggar people?He recalled that in the capital at that time, Hu Jixian, the head of the posthouse, reported that when the Russian envoy was staying with Junggar in the posthouse, it seemed that there was indeed a private collusion.

Could it be that the Russian envoy had evil intentions at that time?It's not because you don't want to become a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty and form an alliance with Junggar?

He thought about it, but couldn't determine the specific reason.However, since it has been determined that there is a change in Junggar, the purpose of going north this time has basically been achieved.

Although Kangxi's thoughts had been spinning thousands of times, but in front of Lord Horqin, his complexion returned to normal within a moment.He pretended to be indifferent with a heroic smile: "That's all. Sooner or later, there is no difference between one or two."

Then he said to Lord Horqin: "It's rare for us to see you, so we must have a good drink today."

Prince Horqin is a person who is rough on the outside and delicate on the inside, so he quickly understood what it meant, and answered happily: "All listen to the emperor!"

In the next few days, Kangxi was busy leading the two Yinfeng and Yinfeng to meet with the princes of Mongolian banners, Taiji.Then according to the size of the tribe and the relationship with the Qing Dynasty, different rewards were awarded to them.

There is no shortage of cattle and sheep in Mongolia, and the rewards are nothing more than gold, silver and jade, which are rare in Mongolia.

In these days on the grassland, the itineraries of the people on both sides of the alliance are full.

During the day, the Royal Forest Army and the Mongolian tribes hunted together, and the guards wrestled with the Mongolian Bo Keqing. In the evening, Kangxi held a big banquet, and mingled with the Mongolian princes and lords to get drunk and sing.

On the surface, the auspicious joy of the peaceful alliance temporarily suppressed the tense atmosphere of the inevitable war with a powerful enemy.

After ten days of liveliness, Kangxi summoned an army to return to Beijing.

After the army left, Yinfeng didn't sit with Kangxi in the imperial court, but hid in his own carriage.

He slumped on the bed without any image, and told the system that he had accumulated complaints for many days: "I'm finally going back to Beijing! If I stay for a few more days, I may not even be able to sit on the horse by myself."

In the past few days, his face has been frozen with laughter, and if he stays any longer, sooner or later he will be paralyzed like the fourth child in their family.Not only his face, but also his stomach will sooner or later be injured by the tricks of the Mongolian princes.

The system silently started the program and checked Yinfeng's body before saying: "It was detected just now that your liver and spleen have been damaged, and you need to recuperate as soon as possible."

Yinfeng said weakly: "You don't need to tell me that you are alone." The adjustment can only be said after returning to Beijing.

Because he was so tired, he didn't bother to find his elder brother on the way back to Beijing.Of course, Big Brother is not much better than his situation.

Meeting with the Mongolian banners was a political need for Kangxi, and it was an additional heir assessment for Yinreng.

So in the past few days, Kangxi entertained Mongolia with banquets every day, and recruited Yinfeng to accompany him every day.

In order to save face for Khan Ama, Yinreng not only had to show the demeanor of a prince, but also stabilized the demeanor of the royal family.Also be kind and courteous and treat everyone equally.

The princes are naturally very face-saving.No matter who comes to toast, after toasting Kangxi, the second cup will definitely shift the target to him.

Yinfeng knew that Mongolian tribes were always informal, especially when it came to drinking.Therefore, before each banquet, people are asked to prepare enough decoction to sober up.Even so, he was about to be upset by the Mongolian prince's turn to toast.

Of course, if it wasn't for his young age, the toasts of those princes might have gone directly to the jar.

After ten days, he was really exhausted in various senses from the inside to the outside in order to stabilize all the shelves that he could put out in his previous life.

Judging from the results, Yinreng obviously passed the exam this time.The Mongolian princes praised Kangxi endlessly, the prince really has the demeanor of a prince, the emperor taught him well, and the Qing Dynasty had someone to succeed him.

It doesn't matter if the praise is true or not, the most important thing is that the attitude is in place.

The army walked for another half a month before returning to the capital.Yinfeng was warmly welcomed by his two younger brothers.

In addition to things for the third and fourth elder brothers, he did not forget to prepare gifts for his other younger brothers.As soon as they returned to the palace, they were packed up and delivered to their respective mothers.

What he prepared were all hunted by himself, such as wolf fur and fox fur, as well as some fine forged knives and bows honored by Mongolian princes.Leather can't be worn now, but it's good to make a big cloak to keep out the cold in winter.

As for bows and arrows, brothers will have riding and archery lessons, which is much better than the bows and arrows used to fool people in the palace.

The plan to go north was successful, and he learned accurate information about Junggar from the Mongolian princes. Kangxi now only thinks about how to send troops to fight Junggar.

Before going to war, it is natural to discuss with the courtiers about the dispatch of food and grass.On the morning of the first day after returning to Beijing, this was what he was talking about.

Kangxi roughly talked about all kinds of news reported by the Mongolian princes, and then asked the minister of the household department: "Is there enough food and grass in Beijing?"

The servant of the household department said respectfully: "Back to the emperor, I don't know yet, how many troops are you going to call for this expedition to Junggar?"

"I am going to send General Fei Yanggu to lead an army of [-] troops, stationed in Uliasutai to meet Junggar."

According to the information provided by the Horqin men, the number of people who can participate in the war in Junggar will not exceed 1.If the imperial court sends ten times as many, they will be able to triumph.

According to the simple calculation of the Minister of the Household Department, Uliasutai is at least two months away from the capital, and the treasury should have enough food and grass.Then he said: "The [-] shi of rice and grain in the national treasury can ensure that the [-] troops will have no worries about food and grass in March."

Kangxi frowned immediately after hearing this.Three months is still too little. Although the army will surely win, if the remnants of the Junggar tribe would rather die than surrender, I don't know how long the stalemate will last.

He sternly said: "Find a way to go to other prefectures, adjust grain in other provinces around Zhili, and make sure that the army can use grain and grass for at least half a year."

"Yes!"

After the order was issued, the atmosphere in Beijing became extremely tense.In just a few days, a large amount of food from Shandong and Henan provinces near Zhili was transferred to Beijing.

Even the street vendors know that there is going to be a war.

General Fei Yanggu led an army of [-] troops. On July [-], he set off from Zhili and went north to Uliasutai to fight against Junggar.

The army set off with great momentum.But no one expected that this battle was not as complete as the courtiers had initially thought, but ended in an embarrassing draw.

The result was quite unexpected.The reason for such a result is naturally that they underestimated the Russians who were collaborating with Junggar.

It wasn't until Fei Yanggu led the army to Uliasutai that it was discovered that the opponent of the Qing army was not just the 1 horses reported by the Mongolian princes from the beginning.

Why did Russia get involved with Junggar?We have to start after the envoy returned to Beijing two years ago.

After the Russian envoy listened to Kangxi's request that Russia become a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, the envoy suddenly became angry.He is also considered smart, knowing that he is in a foreign country and restricted by his status, it is not easy to turn his face, so he can only suppress his anger and say that he will go back to ask his king for instructions, and then lead the people back to Russia as quickly as possible in half a year.

After returning home, the messenger immediately reported the matter to the Tsar.

The Tsar did not take this matter to heart.After listening to what the envoy said, he just smiled, and just said that he never knew that there was such a country.

Recently, he has been obsessed with all kinds of beauties offered by the ministers. He has been indulging in the gentle village for a long time, and he is no longer as ambitious as when he first took office.He doesn't care at all how a strange country thousands of miles away from his own country thinks of him.

But at that time Nan Huairen was meeting with the Pope.

Hearing what the envoy said, he immediately belittled the Qing Dynasty over and over again.Then he strongly advised that although the Qing Dynasty was far away thousands of miles away, it was covetous towards the surrounding countries, and the threat was particularly great!

After observing the situation, the envoy also reported that he had found a favorable ally, and that when the two parties cooperated, they could easily swallow most of the territory of the Qing Dynasty.

The tsar's head eroded by wine and sex became even more dizzy under the temptation of interests.He felt that his two stupid subordinates seemed to be at odds with each other, saying that Da Qing was cowardly at one moment, and another that Qing was particularly threatening.

However, thinking of something that would divert their attention from disturbing him, he re-ordered the envoy to go to the agreed allies and discuss a plan to attack the Qing Dynasty together.

The envoy was overjoyed and set off again after a two-day rest.

After he set off, Nan Huai started to strengthen his sideline ability, which was more advantageous than his main business, to research weapons.And during the time when the envoy was in contact with Junggar, he successfully produced a powerful firecracker.

After lobbying the pope, he recommended it to the tsar, asking him to order the mass production of this weapon.

However, after seeing the firecrackers made by Nan Huairen, the Tsar became picky and demanded that all weapons must be decorated with high-quality silverware and precious stones. In addition, Russia's production capacity was also limited, and only more than 100 of these firecrackers were produced.

But just these more than 100 firecrackers, coupled with the cooperation with the Junggar cavalry, caught Fei Yanggu, who was leading the army, and the Qing army, who was unfamiliar with the place where he was born, by surprise.

The casualties of the Qing army were not heavy, but morale was indeed hit hard.

Fei Yanggu self-reflected, underestimating the enemy is a taboo.

But after he regrouped and prepared to go out again, Junggar started playing hide and seek again.Relying on the advantages of the terrain, he hid in the mountains and forests of Uliasutai.

Fei Yanggu had been in a stalemate with him for two months, and after repeated searches and failed to find him, he had to temporarily suspend his troops and retreat to his own camp in the rear.

Taking stock of the final results, the Qing army had a numerical advantage, but they only knew themselves but not the enemy, thus losing the opportunity to fight. Junggar and Russia's advantages were greatly reduced after they ran out of ammunition.

In the end, both parties had nothing to do with each other, so it was barely a tie.

When the military report was sent back to the capital, the entire capital was shocked.

Tie?No, there is no such thing as a tie in the war. If Junggar was not defeated, the Qing Dynasty lost.
