Chapter 106
Fuquan’s side is full of firepower, not only with new cannons, but also with the original iron-core cannons and mother-and-child cannons. If only the original cannons are used, the Junggar side is covered by dense forests and swamps. The cannons want to hit it. It's not easy.
It was precisely because of this that Galdan was not worried about the artillery coming from the opposite side at all. Not only the Qing army had muskets and cannons, but his army also had muskets and cannons from Tsarist Russia.
The Junggar Khanate has developed to the present, and it is no longer the Junggar tribe.
The grasslands on the grasslands have been degraded, and cattle, sheep and horses can’t find a place to graze. As early as decades ago, due to territorial conflicts among the Mongolian tribes, everyone wanted grasslands with rich water and grass, but there are only so many good grasslands in total. It's good, if there are too many conflicts, we will naturally fight.
The four major tribes of Oirat Mongolia in the frontier, Heshuot, Junggar, Durbert, and Turghut, after decades of conflict, the Turghut defeated family moved to the vicinity of the Volga River, and then went away There are also some people from the Heshuote tribe, and Gushri Khan of the Heshuote tribe brought his tribe into Uzang, Tibet, Tubo and other places.
The Turghut tribe went far away to the Volga River, and the Heshuote tribe moved to Uszang, Tubo. The most powerful on the grassland was the Junggar tribe. When Galdan’s father Batur Huntaiji was in power, the Junggar tribe It has occupied a large pasture in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains.
Batur Huntaiji already knew that overgrazing is not good for the grasslands, so he began to use the Tianshan Mountains and the oases in the north and south to cultivate grain, and at the same time sent people to Russia to buy poultry for feeding.
The characteristic of nomadic people is that they live in no fixed place. The Junggar tribe has fixed some people in the oasis to grow food and feed poultry. This place cannot be regarded as a pure nomadic tribe.
Junggar's territory stretches as far as the eye can see, and Russia is next door. Batur Huntaiji recruited fugitives from various places to build their cities. That is when the Junggar Khanate began to manufacture its own firearms.
Cossack soldiers often burned, killed, and looted in Mongolian territory. Because they were small and mobile, the tribes they targeted suffered extremely tragic consequences. Batuer Huntaiji found that someone was robbing his territory and directly killed the nearby Cossacks. The soldiers ransacked the base area completely. The Russians are also human beings. They are proficient in bullying the weak and fearing the strong. They found that Junggar is not easy to chew, so they quickly changed their strategy and made friends with Batuer Huntaiji.
Russia changed its strategy and united with the Junggar to deal with the Qing court. Artisans, firearms, and everything were willing to trade with the Junggar.
Lao Maozi did not dare to send firearms to the Junggar tribe before signing the border treaty with the Qing Dynasty. Galdan was furious, but his main enemy now is the Qing court, not Russia, and the guns and cannons in his hand are enough for the time being. In one breath, he was ready to solve the Qing court first and then launch an attack on Russia.
On the top of the mountain in Ulan Butong, Galdan is arranging things for his cronies. The army on the opposite side has never seen the "Camel City" and is proud of it. They have a tight formation here, and the mountains and forests in late autumn give them the best cover. The soldiers are hidden in the "Camel City", and they will definitely catch the opponent by surprise.
This side was being set up, and suddenly felt the ground shaking outside, the generals in the big tent were stunned by the sudden thunder, and ran out after reacting, but another wave of fierce shells came oncoming.
Galdan's eyes were tearing, the camel city he had carefully arranged was bombed to pieces, it was so far away from the opponent's camp, why could their cannons hit here?
Why? ! !
Junggar led his soldiers and encountered a huge setback in Ulan Butong. What he didn't know was that at this moment, his hometown was also stolen by someone, and it was his elder brother who quietly went to steal the house. Nephew Cewang Arabutan.
Cewang Allah Butan waited for this day for a long time. As long as Galdan died under the artillery fire of the Qing Dynasty, the throne of the Junggar Khanate would fall to him, and the humiliation of the past could be washed away.
After his father, Sengge, was poisoned and killed, his younger brother was originally the successor, and the younger brother was his father's legitimate son. It was not wrong to inherit the throne of King Khan, but immediately after, Galdan returned from Tibet and killed him forcefully. His younger brother became Khan.
If it's just like this, it's not unbearable, but Galdan snatched his unmarried wife again, if this can be tolerated, is he still a man?
Cewang Allah Butan hated Galdan deeply, and was ready when Galdan personally led troops to attack Khalkha. As soon as the news from the Qing court arrived, he directly led his troops back to the land that originally belonged to him. territory.
The Qing army tent was in full swing, with veterans such as Sabusu Pengchun present, Prince Yu was only a mascot, and it was his whole task to echo the veterans when they discussed the countermeasures.
Yinti followed Fuquan with great ambitions, and seeing the reaction of the second uncle of their family, he was completely dumbfounded, this is not right.
The coach of the Right Route Army is their second uncle. When discussing tactics, shouldn’t the second uncle stand at the front and talk freely to the map? Why is it like this?
Sabusu and Prince Jane have completely opposite opinions. How can you nod to the other when you nod to one? You have to be cautious while encircling and suppressing. Who do you let the soldiers listen to?
Eldest brother got angry in a hurry, seeing that Galdan was defeated, why not take this opportunity to wipe them all out, what are you waiting for, wait for Galdan to run away?
"Second Uncle, can you tell me whether to chase or not?" Yinti rushed over anxiously, just wanting to lead his troops to charge upwards. It's such a good situation. Many new guns.
Fuquan hesitated for a moment, but still said calmly, "Wait a little longer, wait until the old general discusses it."
"What's the point of discussing it? If you discuss it again, Galdan will run away!" The elder brother's fiery temper came up, and he didn't bother to listen to them here. He picked up his firecracker and ran away. He leads people to chase him.
"Yinti! Yinti!!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Fuquan secretly told Sabusu and the others to stop arguing. If Galdan ran away, they could catch him again. If the elder brother had an accident, they would be unable to eat and walk around. .
Sabsu turned his head and saw the elder brother rushing out with a team of people, his eyes lit up and he quickly arranged the pursuit route. Prince Jian Yabu shook his head sadly, what did he say, there must be wars According to the rules, elder brother Huang came to the barracks purely for nonsense, and rushed up without getting the military order. Whose fault is it if something goes wrong?
It must be those who failed to protect elder brother.
When Yinzhen and Orondai came over, there was an orderly military order outside, but the big tent was a mess. Looking at the messy tent, Fourth Master knew why Galdan escaped in his previous life.
The second uncle's level of leading troops is almost the same in two lifetimes.
Orondai didn't expect such a scene in the camp. Fortunately, Prince Jane didn't speak anymore, and the old general Sabusu arranged for the situation that the order would not be changed in a short while. The soldiers of the Eight Banners roared out and ran out quickly Most of it.
Tong Guogang was waiting to go out with the soldiers from the Firearms Battalion, but as soon as Sabusu finished speaking, Erlundai responded first and ran away. The bastard was messing around with this kind of thing, and he was so angry that he was born out of the world The two Buddhas ascended to heaven.
Yinzhen still remembered that Tong Guogang died on the battlefield of conquering Junggar. Seeing that he was in a hurry to catch up, he quickly stopped him, "Uncle Orondai has gone out, Guo Luomafa will go again, who should the soldiers of the firearms battalion listen to?" The situation on the battlefield is urgent and there is no room for error, Guo Luomafa will teach Uncle Orondai when he comes back."
Get angry when you are angry, it is better than losing your life.
The same is true for Orondai, is the military order something that can be robbed?
He always felt that the Eight Banners soldiers were still very powerful when their Khan Ama was in power, but they didn't look as good as when he was in power. If it wasn't for the roar of artillery fire outside, he even thought it was a joke.
Prince Yu rubbed his nose, called Yinzhen to him, and asked him to look at the other side. This army not only fights hard, but also avoids battles. They not only avoid battles themselves, but also withdraw a lot The elites protect them, and they can't even go out with them, but those people's identities are there, even if he is the coach, it is not easy to force them to fight the enemy.
Yinzhen:……
To be honest, the second uncle is really not suitable to be a coach. Looking at the current situation, he feels that the fifth uncle is better than him here.
Uncle Wu didn't dare to yell at the old generals who were fighting for military merits, and at least he could forcefully let them release the elites who were transferred away. .
Fourth Master withdrew his gaze expressionlessly, wrote down all the people who were hiding there fearful of fighting, and wrote them all down in a small notebook. When he got back, he found a chance and sent them away.
The imperial court spends money to raise soldiers who can fight, not to raise uncles. There are so many things for one or two to fight, so it is better to go back to Shengjing to farm.
Tong Guogang hit his head angrily, found a seat and sat down, gritted his teeth and stared at the smoke from the gunfire on the Ulan Butong hill, wishing to put Orondai into the barrel and shoot it out.
The Dutong and Deputy Dutong in the army are all equipped with binoculars, and there are so many of them, it is not a problem at all to surround Ulan Butong. As long as Galdan does not have wings, he will definitely not be able to escape this time.
Galdan felt that the Qing court was arrogant, but he didn't realize that he was also very arrogant. He thought that the enemy on the opposite side could not break through his "Camel City", so he placed all the soldiers he brought with him in the "Camel City". The Qing army came up to kill and kill.
It's a pity that he didn't expect that there were cannons with such a long range and such good accuracy on the opposite side. All the cannons fell on Ulan Butong Mountain, not even the camels and soldiers, and even his tent on the top of the peak were not spared.
A man can bend and stretch, this time he made a mistake, when he returns to Junggar to order troops and make a comeback, he will surely kill the opponent and turn his back on his back.
Galdan was about to flee, before all his soldiers were buried under the artillery fire on the opposite side, he gathered his men and horses and slipped away quietly along the road when he came. At the same time, he cursed the old man in his heart. His firearms can definitely hit farther, but in the end he was given those defective goods. When he returned to Junggar, even if he didn't fight Khalkha, he would have to settle the score with the old man.
The Junggar soldiers had never seen such a powerful cannon, and the two who had already been frightened fought, and some timid ones even knelt down to ask the gods and Buddhas to bless them. When Galdan's order came down, many horses were shocked by the artillery At that time, even the horses and cavalry went straight towards the shells, and there were countless casualties in the process of retreating.
Galdan saw that he couldn't do it, and stood there with dark eyes. After taking a deep breath, he gritted his teeth and said, "Come here, inform the other party that we are willing to cease fighting and seek peace."
In the camp of the Qing army, Yinzhen was recording what he saw and heard with a charcoal pen, and handed it to their family Khan Ama when he returned from the battle. It has to be cleaned up.
If Khan Ama didn't feel unwell suddenly and couldn't move forward, it would be better to let him see the scene in person.
After Sabusu made arrangements, he also led his troops to leave the camp. Now only Tong Guogang, who was forced to stay, Prince Jian, who was left to hold the line, the big mascot Prince Yu, and the little mascot Si Age were left in the tent.
When the messenger ran in, Yinzhen had just put down the charcoal pen, seeing that Fuquan really believed Galdan's nonsense that he wanted to seek peace, his eyes turned cold and he said on the spot, "No, let the pursuers continue to chase. Let Galdan go."
Fuquan was stunned for a moment, then changed his words again, "Listen to the fourth elder brother."
The messengers came and went in a hurry, but the atmosphere in the tent changed. Fuquan had never seen such a side of the taciturn Yinzhen showing such a side, and for some reason he was a little embarrassed, "I was thinking of falsely agreeing to Galdan's request." And, wait for Chang Ning to lead his troops to Ulan Butong before making plans, but this is fine now, the left and right Galdan are already at the end of their strength, and it will be the same if you wait for Chang Ning."
"Second Uncle, Galdan is cunning. Now you agree to his peace proposal. Believe it or not, he turned around and ran away." Yinzhen really couldn't control his anger, and said in a low voice, "The grassland is so big, when the time comes, he will run away." In Russia, it's another Ghentpur."
The leader of the Daurians, Ghentpur, was not very capable, but when he ran into Russia, the court really had nothing to do with him. The Qing Dynasty was not strong enough to go to the Russian capital to arrest people.
Tong Guogang nodded approvingly towards Yinzhen who was straightforward and decisive, "What the fourth elder brother said is very true. The centipede is dead but not stiff. To deal with the insidious and cunning person like Galdan, we must take advantage of his illness to kill him. Really wait for him If you run away and then catch it, I’m afraid you won’t be able to catch it for 20 years.”
Prince Jian Yabu shook his head, "Since Galdan begged to surrender, we should give him a chance to admit his mistake. It would cost a lot for the imperial court to send troops. If the problem can be solved by reconciliation, it is better not to use force."
"Prince Jane's words are wrong. Junggar is not qualified to sit on an equal footing with the Qing Dynasty. Galdan is just a traitor. The court negotiates with the traitors. It is not shameful to say that it is thrown away." Tong Guogang disagreed with Prince Jane's words. At the moment, he was in a bad mood and was about to quarrel with someone. Prince Jane was not in a good temper, so the two quarreled over whether they should resolve the Junggar issue peacefully.
Fuquan sat next to him in embarrassment, unable to intervene in the words of the two of them at all. He finally found time to persuade them to fight, but was targeted by both of them at the same time. It's not easy to be a good person, so he can only hold a water bottle to watch what Yinzhen is writing.
Fourth Master took out the charcoal again, turned to a new page and continued writing.
——The second uncle is unreliable, and he must not be allowed to lead troops in the future.
——Elundai's temper is too impatient, and to lead troops, he must find a general who can suppress his temper.
——The chief general of the army!must!Gotta be!Tough people!
Kangxi originally wanted to go to Ulan Butong to command the battle with Fuquan. He knew Fuquan Changning's temperament very well, and it was okay to let them do things in the capital, but he would not be at ease if he suddenly asked them to lead troops.
It was the first time for the two princes to lead troops, so even if many veterans were sent to help them fight the battle, they should not be at ease, and they still should not be at ease.
It's just that no matter how anxious he is, it's useless if his body can't hold on. Probably because he caught a cold at night, His Majesty felt that his head was like a paste, and he couldn't think of anything. Can temporarily stop in place to recuperate.
After this rest, I can no longer walk.
Kangxi didn't know that he had been sleeping for a few days, but he felt as if his whole body had been run over by something, and it hurt wherever he moved. He barely opened his eyes, saw a row of ministers and doctors kneeling by the bed, and asked in a hoarse voice, "What is this?" What's wrong?"
Suo'etu shuddered when he heard the voice, and hurriedly gave up his seat to the imperial physician, "Hurry up, the emperor is awake, show the emperor quickly."
The victory has just been fought ahead, and the situation in the Qing Dynasty is very good. The key is that His Highness the Crown Prince is still young. If the Emperor controls Bintian at this time, let alone the chaos in Junggar, it is uncertain whether His Highness the Crown Prince will be able to ascend the throne smoothly. .
The eldest elder brother came out and earned a lot of military merits, and the old fox Mingzhu was behind to make suggestions. The fourth elder brother was thoughtful, and Tong Jia was behind him. His Royal Highness faced two brothers at the same time. How can he deal with it? ?
Your Majesty, you can't leave. If you leave, the Qing Dynasty will perish.
Kangxi struggled to sit up, seeing Suo'etu's appearance of crying or not, his head hurt even more, "What time is it, how is the fight with Prince Yu?"
"Don't worry, your majesty, our army has won a complete victory. Orondai captured Galdan alive, and now Galdan is being imprisoned here. You should take good care of your illness and think about it after you recover from your illness." Suo'etu wiped away his tears, Seeing the emperor wake up is closer than seeing his own son, "Your Majesty, you have been in a coma for four or five days. If you can't wake up again, what will the servants do?"
Kangxi was twitched by the blue veins on his forehead, and winked at Mingzhu who was pushed aside, telling Mingzhu to get this guy out quickly, then closed his eyes and waited for the imperial doctor to feel his pulse.
The accompanying imperial physicians did not dare to have any emotions in front of the emperor. They only showed anxiety when they went behind the screen to discuss the prescription. The emperor's illness was too difficult, and they were helpless. What if the condition could not improve in the future?
After Yinzhen heard the news that Kangxi had woken up, he hurried over, followed by the missionaries sent by the prince. If he hadn't heard that the prince specially sent missionaries to follow him, he wouldn't even have thought of their Khan Ama's visit this time. The disease almost killed him.
The missionary is carrying medicine, but he knows that the medicine can cure diseases, but others don't know, especially the imperial physicians of the imperial hospital, who are very uncomfortable with Western medical skills and medicine, so he specially brought the missionary with him these two days He found several soldiers who were also seriously ill for treatment.
Malaria is contagious, and even the emperor can get sick. There are not a few soldiers who get sick in the army. There are cured cases ahead, and the resistance to feeding medicine can be reduced.
But now that Khan Ama wakes up, things are much easier to arrange. Khan Ama himself is interested in Western things, and there are cured cases in front of him, so he will definitely not avoid the medicine of the missionaries like a snake.
Kangxi leaned on the head of the bed and looked at the fourth son who was pretending to be calm, listening to him talking about the missionary's medicine very fast, his hands were shaking when he was obviously afraid, but he pretended not to be afraid to make him feel at ease , shook his head and actually laughed, "Where's the medicine? Bring it up."
The imperial physicians surrounded the missionary when they saw the missionary coming in, and when they heard the emperor said that he wanted to take medicine they had never seen before, they were shocked and tried to stop it, but the emperor wanted to take it himself, and it was useless for others to say anything, so they glanced over. All the imperial doctors are honest.
The medicinal effect of quinine is so good that Kangxi can get out of bed and walk the next day. Yinzhen recalled how many days his family Khan Ama spent recuperating from his illness in his previous life. He recovered from his illness.
As a result, Kangxi's desk had an extra copy of what he had seen and heard in the army. His Majesty the Emperor looked at the cover with great interest, and subconsciously felt that there was a small handprint missing on it. After laughing, he opened the title page and read half of it. I can't laugh at all.
He has just woken up, his body has not recovered, and he has not had time to ask the generals of the right army for details. If it is really like what Yinzhen wrote, then why fight?
If their new cannons were not powerful enough, would they have been beaten by Galdan this time?
Yinti!Orondai!Tong Guogang!Jacob!Sabso!
Every one of them looks like a normal person, but they look like fools when they get together, especially Sa Busu and Tong Guogang, who are not as decisive as Yinti, a child who has never fought!
Kangxi's head was smoking with anger, and he vigorously turned to the next page, only to find that it was too early for him to scold. The ones who should scold the most were not the first few people, but his second elder brother, Prince Yu Fuquan, whom he placed high hopes on.
Looking at someone who is almost forty, and Yinzhen is not yet reliable, what does he want to do? !
Liang Jiugong went out to serve tea, and when he turned around, he found that their emperor was trembling with anger, and hurriedly put the teacup on the table and shouted outside, "Come here! Send the imperial physician! The emperor has passed out again!"
