Kangxi 50 years

August 25, Sichuan Governor's Yamen

The doorman Wang Weishi entered Nian Gengyao's study, and Nian Gengyao was meditating silently in front of the military map.

Wang Weishi didn't dare to disturb, and stood quietly by the side.

After a while, Nian Gengyao regained his composure and asked, "What's wrong?"

"My subordinates have heard that Mu Xing, chieftain of Lijiang, really led his army to recover Batang and Litang?"

"That's right," Nian Gengyao turned around and picked up the teacup on the table, "When the local Fanbing rioted, Jiang Chenxi, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, pretended to be dumb, but now that the chaos subsided, they came out one by one. Letting Lijiang Chieftain bring troops to collect them is just to make sure that I don’t dare to embarrass these border people.”

"Then what do you plan to do, my lord?" Wang Weishi frowned, "We finally put down the rebellion, why should they take advantage of it?"

Nian Gengyao sneered, "If I don't do anything, it doesn't mean others won't."

"What do you mean, sir?"

"The governor has written a letter, instructing Pan Chief Basang to intercept Muxing." Nian Gengyao lowered his head and took a sip of hot tea, "Basang and Muxing have always been at odds, and they don't want their territory to be under the jurisdiction of Muxing. Let them fight. No matter what the result is, once the army is deployed, Long Live God will make a decision."

Wang Weishi thought about it carefully, the corners of his mouth parted, and he bowed to Nian Gengyao and said, "Your Excellency, you are really wise."

At the beginning of September, the army escorting the Dalai Lama arrived at Mulu Usu, and General Yinti held a farewell banquet for Kelsang Gyatso.

Immediately afterwards, the army to enter Tibet was formally launched. General Yanxin of Pingni led the army of the Qinghai Road, starting from Muluwusu, and slowly marching along the Kuku Sailing Ridge, which Governor Erent had walked through.

In mid-September, following Prince Yong's suggestion, Emperor Kangxi appointed Yue Zhongqi as deputy general, assisted Dingxi General Garbi, and led more than 7000 Manchurian, Green Battalion, and Tusi soldiers from Sichuan and Yunnan to Tibet from Balkam in western Sichuan.Nian Gengyao, governor of Sichuan, was ordered to be responsible for handling the food and payment affairs of the army of Balkamu.

September [-], Old Summer Palace

Zhang Tingyu brought new news about the border. Lijiang Tusi Muxing led troops to take back Litang and Batang, but when they arrived in Lapi, they clashed with the local chieftain Basang.

Mu Xing killed Basang in a fit of anger, which aroused public outrage. Fortunately, Governor Nian Gengyao of Sichuan sent troops to appease him in time.

Nian Gengyao said that Litang and Batang are located on the main roads to Tibet, and Muxing took over the land without authorization, blocked the army's grain transportation channel, and killed innocent chieftains, causing people's livelihood to complain.

Emperor Kangxi immediately issued an order to arrest Mu Xing and imprison him in the capital of Yunnan Province.Litang and Batang are still under the jurisdiction of Sichuan, and Jiang Chenxi, governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, is ordered not to interfere any more.

"Long Live Lord dealt with Mu Xing, and warned Jiang Chenxi, Nian Gengyao completely took over two important places this time." Zhang Tingyu presented the memorial to the fourth elder brother.

"Using Fan to control Fan, Nian Gengyao didn't confront Shang Mu Xing himself, but made things worse through Fan Chief Basang. No matter who took the advantage in the end, Huang Ama will have a lot of complaints about Jiang Chenxi. Right now , Tibet is not peaceful, and there are not many chieftains big and small in Yunnan who have never been stable. It is really unwise for Jiang Chenxi to fight for Batang and Litang at this time." The fourth elder brother shook his head and said.

"Batang and Litang are geographically sensitive, and now Tibet is at war again. No wonder Jiang Chenxi and Nian Gengyao have eyes for these two places."

"Border officials don't want to secure a country, but they are fighting fiercely for power and territory." The fourth elder brother frowned deeply, "If they continue to fight, these places will also belong to the Qing Dynasty!"

on the back of the lake

Hong Pan, who was clamoring to go boating, saw Hong Yun and Hong Shi from a distance, and hurried over.

Xiao Shuzi followed behind, panting.

"Hongyun! Hongshi! Where are you going? Let's go boating, shall we?"

Hong Yun stopped in his tracks, and Hong Shi leaned to the side, looking around with some embarrassment.

"We're going to pay my respects to my mother." Hong Yun's face was not very good-looking, "What's the matter? You don't have to go to Maoqin Hall to study for these two days, and Huang Mafa didn't call you to Changchun Garden to accompany him for dinner?"

Hong Pan shook his head cautiously, "I usually go with brother Hong Xi."

"Then go and play with your brother Hongxi."

Hong Yun turned his head to the side, "We don't have your share of blessings. We have to study hard when we have time. If we don't read well, we will be scolded by the master. It's not like you, who made Maoqin Palace so noisy , the master didn’t dare to ask a question.”

"Hongyun?"

Hongpan finally sensed something was wrong, "We are brothers. I never felt that I was great just because I could have a few meals with Huang Mafa. I also didn't make trouble in Maoqin Hall. It’s just that there are many questions, and the master also said that if you don’t understand, you can…”

"okay!"

Hong Yun directly interrupted Hong Pan, "We don't have time to chat with you. Hong Shi, let's go!"

"Hey," Hong Pan wanted to say something, but Hong Yun couldn't help him at all.

Hong Shi was a little entangled, but he looked left and right, waved to Hong Pan, and quickly followed Hong Yun.

Hong Pan's eyes were red, and he stood there blankly.

Little Shuzi was a little worried, and stepped forward to gently tug on his clothes, "Master, don't be sad, brother Hongyun has this temper, he will be fine in a few days."

Hongpan shook his head, turned back a little lonely, and walked towards the lake.

Over there, Hong Yun and Hong Shi walked faster and faster, but when they were about to reach the building where Fujin lived, they stopped again.

"Third Brother, what's the matter with you?" Hong Shi took two steps forward, tilting his head to look at Hong Yun.

Hong Yun turned his back and wiped his face hard.

"Hong Yun!"

Two people came out from behind the rockery, Hong Yun turned his head and saw that it was Mo Yaqi who was carrying Baosheng.

"Eldest sister," Hong Yun cupped his hands respectfully when he saw Mo Yaqi.

"You guys left in such a hurry, you're sweating all over your head, won't Fujin be worried when you enter a building later?"

Mo Yaqi greeted Hongyun and Hongshi to the pavilion by the lake for a rest.

Baosheng took Hongshi to eat snacks on the boat, leaving Mo Yaqi and Hongyun in the gazebo.

"Just now," Mo Yaqi watched as Hongshi boarded the boat, and said, "I heard what you and Hongpan said."

Hong Yun was taken aback for a moment, then looked up at Mo Yaqi, "Elder Sister thinks it's my fault?"

"What do you think?" Mo Yaqi turned around, "What will happen if Ama listens to what you said today?"

Hong Yun's lips trembled slightly, and he lowered his head, but he was still very unconvinced and said, "Hong Pan said every day that we are brothers, but he went to Qianqing Palace to accompany Huang Mafa for dinner, but he never took the initiative to mention it to us. There is Huang Ma Fa called him and Hong Xi stayed with him, so he stopped with us. But when he couldn’t go to Huang Ma Fa anymore, he came to me and Hong Shi to play with him. Did he treat us as brothers? They say one thing and do another!"

"But how did I hear," Mo Yaqi whispered authentically, "Hongpan couldn't get enough to eat in the palace because he left all the food boxes sent by Yonghe Palace to you and Hongshi?"

"Well, that's because..."

"And that imperial pen holder," Mo Yaqi didn't allow Hongyun to defend, "it was obviously broken when you and Hongpan were fighting. But Hongpan has been trying to solve it by himself from the beginning to the end, and never thought about it. Get you out too."

"I……"

"Hongyun," Mo Yaqi took Hongyun's hand and asked him to stand in front of her, "Brothers have to share blessings, but also have to share hardships. You think that Hongyun will win in front of Huang Mafa." Face, I have received great benefits, and I should share it with you and Hongshi. But when Hongpan is in trouble, do you want to bear it with him?"

Hong Yun clenched the corners of his mouth, unable to speak for a moment.

Mo Yaqi patted Hong Yun's head, "Maybe Hong Pan did something wrong, but he has no bad intentions. It is a glorious thing to have dinner with Huang Mafa, but Huang Mafa didn't know Zhao, how can Hongpan publicize it in private?"

"Elder sister..."

Hong Yun's face gradually turned red, "I'm sorry, I..."

"You don't need to say sorry to elder sister," Mo Yaqi smiled at Hong Yun, "Go and tell Hong Pan. You are brothers, and if you feel uncomfortable in the future, you should communicate more. Don't be bored all the time. Don't even think about it, just casually say something to hurt your closest relatives, understand?"

"I see," Hong Yun nodded lightly, "Don't worry, elder sister, I will apologize to Hong Pan when I get back."

Mo Yaqi smiled, Hong Shi got off the boat over there, and the two went to the other building together.

Baosheng stood with Mo Yaqi in the gazebo, watching the two young elder brothers walk away.

"Gege is doing his best. Brother Hongyun is a good boy. After a little bit of dialing from you, he will figure it out soon."

"Children are good children," Mo Yaqi frowned slightly, "but Hongyun's ears are too soft, and he is too easily influenced by others. He was originally simple-minded, and there was no barrier between him and his brothers and sisters. But he couldn't stand someone every day. Talking about the dignity of the descendants and the future prospects in his ears, he will pay so much attention to gains and losses..."

"Ge Ge don't think too much. Now that my brothers have moved out to live by themselves, it may be better after a long time."

"How can it be so easy?"

Mo Yaqi looked at the tile eaves of a building not far away, "Actually, even though Honghui was in the same situation back then, his heart was much more determined. Although he was young, he always had his own ideas. If he was still around..."

"Ge Ge," Bao Sheng took Mo Yaqi's arm, "Let's not think about it so much, let's go to the Peony Pavilion to see the flowers."

Mo Yaqi sighed lightly, and nodded somewhat desolately.

Huxin Island

In the past few days, Grandpa Su finally finished taking care of the trivial matters of the business, and was idle in the garden. When he was bored, he asked someone for a fishing rod and went fishing by the lake.

Xiaoyingzi was holding the fish basket, watching his master waving the fishing rod into the water, his heart twitched.

The fish in this back lake are all for ornamental use, and the fry used are all expensive. Let alone fishing, they are fed with clean water, and they are taken care of by someone every day.

But who made his master want to go fishing on a whim?Those who are caught can only accept their fate.

Grandpa Su swung his fishing rod very handsomely, but when the hook fell into the water, it was like a meat bun hitting a dog, and there was no movement at all.

Su Wei was leaning on his chin, sitting sleepy by the lake, when a small boat stopped nearby.

The people on the boat went ashore, looked around, walked straight to Su Wei, sat down, and leaned on their chin like him, looking worried and flustered.

"Brother Hongpan, why are you here? Are you looking for the prince?"

Hong Pan shook his head, but did not speak, staring at the float on the water, his eyes were red.
