Chapter 275 Is this fake?
The sentence "You won't live to see the reign of Emperor Yongzheng" immediately made Kangxi empathize with his beloved prince.
I was so angry that I wanted to hang the annoying kid up and beat him up, but I was afraid of being exposed so I suppressed my anger and almost made myself into a knot.
The Fourth Prince's pupils were shocked and he seemed to want to say something but stopped.
I have the urge to persuade my eighteenth younger brother to stop being a fan.
I can’t stand it anymore, I really can’t stand it anymore!
This kind of behavior of praising your brother with words but talking nonsense in your heart, and stabbing your brother in the heart anytime and anywhere, is really annoying.
He strongly suggested and urgently hoped that Xiao Shiba could find a new brother.
For example, Lao Ba.
That guy is thick-skinned, black-hearted, and strong-willed. He is a master at being a villain. If possible, the Fourth Prince hopes that his Eighteenth Brother can catch him and do him some harm.
Unfortunately, he is not Yinzhen, and he does not have the ability to express his inner thoughts, nor does he dare to speak them out loud.
This valuable advice is destined to remain unknown to everyone.
However, the Eighth Prince who was far away in the Western Regions sneezed twice in a row. The Tenth Prince laughed and said, "Hey, as the old saying goes, you think about something first, scold it second, and worry about it third. Eighth Prince's two sneezes were so loud, it seems that Tsewang Arabtan and Galdan Celing scolded you a lot."
When these words were spoken, even the Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince couldn't hold back their laughter.
I have to say that my eighth brother understands the art of language.
As soon as the manifesto came out, not only did Galdan Celing fly into a rage, shouting that he wanted to fight the Eighth Prince to the death, but even Tsewang Arabtan began to offer a large reward for his head.
There was no other reason. Tsewang Arabtan learned the lessons from his enemy, uncle Galdan, and began to focus on his own development.
Since the 36th year of Kangxi's reign, when Kangxi led his third expedition in person, he has been in charge of the Dzungar Khanate. He has been reducing taxes and levies and actively promoting the development of animal husbandry, commerce and other aspects.
They actively introduced Western artillery, used Swedes as instructors, and trained many powerful artillerymen.
He also sent the general Lingdun Dobu to the west to actively expand his territory.
As a Khan of a country, he was not corrupt and did not care about extravagance. He was strict with himself and lenient with others. Over the past ten years, he was highly respected by the people of Junggar and was loved by the people.
So he raised his arm and took the lead in using the Qing Dynasty to take back Khalkha Mongolia, claiming that the Qing Dynasty had gone too far and had framed him for coveting Junggar. No one doubted the feasibility of this plan, saying that he would lead everyone to take back Khalkha Mongolia and then plan to restore the glory of his ancestors in the entire Central Plains.
They just followed the Zhuolikituhun Taiji in their minds without fear of bloodshed or sacrifice.
Now we have the Eighth Prince, and his manifesto in three languages: Manchu, Mongolian and Chinese.
The Dzungar people who had been kept in the dark now found out!
We know how big the Qing Dynasty was, and how big Junggar was. How many people and troops did the Qing Dynasty have? Even if all the people in Junggar were mobilized as soldiers, how many people could they send out?
Comparing the two, no matter how you calculate it, it feels like there is only loss and no win.
The morale of the paramilitary forces immediately dropped, and a few even attempted to surrender.
How could this not make Tsewang Arabtan furious?
In order to kill the annoying Eighth Prince, he even used Bao Qin, which had just been formed.
An artillery unit of thousands of people came together and the artillery fire was continuous.
While killing the Eighth Prince, they also wanted to let the tribesmen know with facts: no matter how many people the Qing court had, they were nothing but chickens and dogs under the strong artillery fire. The firearms of the Dzungar Khanate were invincible, and with only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, they were able to fight the Qing court and Tsarist Russia and remain undefeated!
But ideals are full and reality is skinny.
It’s different in the past.
The current Qing Dynasty is different from the original historical line. There is no deposed crown prince, suspicion between father and son, and quarrel between brothers, nor is the entire court's attention focused on the succession to the throne.
Instead, the father and son are in harmony, and they are wholeheartedly stabilizing their own basic foundation. After they have laid a good internal foundation, they can free up their hands to take out loans one by one for revenge.
Even Dai Zi, a genius in firearms research who had been banished to Liaodong to pick pine nuts and dig ginseng, was invited back.
With him in charge, the level of firearms in the Qing Dynasty was no longer comparable to that of the past.
Although it is not possible to equip the entire army at once, the commander-in-chief Fu Ning'an, the deputy commander Fourteenth Prince, and the eldest prince who leads another team all have some good things under their command.
How many?
The Fourteenth Prince raised his eyebrows and said, "It is enough to destroy Tsewang Arabtan's confidence and make the troops he leads believe in what the Eighth Prince said in the manifesto."
"Just wait and see, brothers. This time, we will surely succeed in one fell swoop and completely wipe out the threat from the Dzungar Khanate."
The Eighth Prince blinked and said, "Fourteenth brother, self-confidence is a good thing. But the moon is full and then it wanes, the water is full and then it overflows, you should understand the truth that too much is as bad as too little."
Zhengxing felt like a bucket of cold water was poured on his head. If it were someone else, the Fourteenth Prince would have roared at him on the spot.
But my own starling...
Even if he was not expecting anything, he still had to ask, "Did myna notice anything wrong?"
"That's not the case." The Eighth Prince was particularly frank. "But when the snipe and the clam quarrel, the fisherman benefits. In recent years, the Russian Empire has never given up its intention to invade our territory. During the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, the country repeatedly harassed the Heilongjiang River Basin."
"Back then, they took advantage of the opportunity of the imperial court to suppress the Three Feudatories to send troops to Nerchinsk and Yaksa, and even instigated Galdan. Now that we are at war with the Dzungars, it is hard to say whether they will take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble and try to get a piece of the pie."
Ah this...
Fourteen thought about his own military strength and firearms equipment, and a bold idea came to his mind.
For this purpose, he even secretly held a small meeting with his brothers.
We vowed to work together to give Khan Ama a big surprise.
The Eighth Prince was stunned, and began to doubt the truthfulness of his Eighteenth Brother's thoughts and Khan Ama's vision. Fortunately, the old man was not completely confused and knew to give the position of chief coach to Fu Ning'an.
Otherwise, it all depends on the Fourteenth Prince's on-the-spot performance...
The Eighth Prince couldn't bear to think about how disastrous the consequences would be.
But the facts have proved that the Fourteenth Prince may not be stable and shrewd enough, and sometimes his loyalty is almost naive. But he still has military talent, and he performed at an extraordinary level from the beginning.
Not only did he suppress and defeat Bao Qin, who was the pride of Tsewang Arabtan.
He also used the repeating musket, which was improved by Yinzhen himself, with a scope and new granular ammunition. One shot took half the life of the incessantly shouting Galdan Celing, and almost sent him back to his happy hometown.
When the news reached the capital, Emperor Kangxi was delighted.
He called all his sons who were still in Beijing and had a banquet to celebrate.
Yin Xuan was confused the whole time: [This, is it fake? That was Galdan Tsering! He ascended the throne in a hurry and was attacked, and everyone thought he was destined to lose his country. But he used Lobsang Jindan to buy himself enough time to prepare, and then personally led his troops to send the Qing army to defeat at Hetongpo...]
[How could such a young talent be shot dead so easily by Brother Fourteen?]
[Oh my god, this is too crazy! If it is true, then the brothers probably don't have to worry about how to hold Tsewang Arabtan back and prevent him from breaking up and running deep into the Gobi Desert. Because he will definitely turn red-eyed and fight the Qing Dynasty to the death.]
