Chapter 182
"Reporting to the Emperor, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang has received news from Man Bao. Zhu Yigui has conquered Taiwan. Lan Tingzhen, the general of South Australia, died in battle. Shi Shibiao, the admiral of the Fujian Navy, retreated to Penghu. Zhu Ni is beyond control. Please send him quickly. Reinforcements!"

Zhang Tingyu's face was covered with sweat. Now that the war is not going well, he felt a little nervous in his heart. Apart from the current reason, it was more because of Emperor Kangxi's increasingly moody temper.

At the end of any person's life, there will often be some abnormalities. These abnormal behaviors may be bound by legislative morality and cannot cause more losses, but for the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, it is absolutely unusual.

Especially news came from Hubei yesterday that Fu Erdan's entire army was wiped out and he himself was captured by mistake. This news almost made Kangxi completely lose his mind. He became more violent and beat people to death at every turn. This made Zhang Tingyu They are all trembling.

"It is better to be silent than ten thousand words." Zhang Tingyu murmured in his heart. This is his secret of being an official. After reading the full insurance booklet, there is no other action.

Just when Zhang Tingyu was about to meet Kangxi's anger, the old man unexpectedly became very calm. He just hummed, didn't say anything more, and waved Zhang Tingyu to retreat.

Kangxi never put Zhu Yigui in his eyes. Compared with the Fuhan army, no matter how much Zhu Yigui jumped around, he was at most Ming Zheng's plate. He could destroy the Ming once in the past, and now he can naturally destroy the second. secondary.

However, the real threat to the Fuhan Army now has been shown to shock Kangxi.Just when the 23 Qing army was encircled, the opponent, like a veteran chess player, took advantage of the bloated and cumbersome Qing army to fight first, and wiped out Yang Lin's 4-liang army and the ten-thousand army in the east. Wan Qingjun, even Fu Erdan, a young talent whom he valued quite a lot, was knocked down after handing the long sword an inch to the Fu Han army's chest.

A rising star!
Kangxi praised the opponent's major general Ning Yu from the bottom of his heart. In his opinion, this person is quite a legacy of Taizong, and he is a capable opponent. Even when he was young, he might not be able to compare.

It's not that Kangxi raised the prestige of his opponents, it's because Ning Yu's behavior is like an antelope's horns. At first glance, it doesn't look like this, but all the moves are rushing to fight against their own weaknesses, abruptly reversing the situation of this battle. come over.

The current White Lotus Sect and Zhu Yigui only made Kangxi feel a little bit heartbroken, but the development of the Fuhan Army made him worry. The news from Hubei and the news from Taiwan were like two crushing pans, crushing his little sages who were regarded as sages. Thoughts were crushed to pieces one by one.This made Kangxi stay up all night, and even felt a bit painstaking.

At the same time, the Forbidden City, thousands of miles away, also received the news of Jiujiang's battle report a few days ago. When it was learned that Yongjina's [-] troops had been wiped out, the news almost made the entire Forbidden City a little bit silent.

The lights in Prince Yong's Mansion are brightly lit at this time, and Prince Yong Yinzhen is playing chess with the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang, but the chess pieces have been tossing and turning in his hands, but they haven't landed on the chessboard for a long time, and the whole person's mind is almost gone. The board is up.

"Fourth brother, the defeat on the Huguang battlefield is only temporary. Huang Ama's 5 troops are still in Huguang. In addition to the [-] troops of Governor Nian, even if Wuchang cannot be captured, there will be no major problems."

The one who spoke was the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang, but in his thirties he looked like a 50-year-old old man. The vicissitudes and loneliness in his eyebrows and eyes were almost engraved on his face.

Yinzhen has always been close to the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang, especially when the elder thirteen was implicated in the case of abolishing the prince a few years ago, he was almost imprisoned from the popular elder brother in front of Kangxi. However, Yinzhen endured the pressure from the palace and helped his younger brother a lot, so the two families were quite close.

"Thirteenth brother, it's not clear to you that although Huang Ama's body is healthy and strong, but she is old after all, and coupled with the exhaustion of traveling outside, the fourth brother is really afraid that Huang Ama will do something bad on the front line. "

Yinzhen's trust in the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang has always been there, so he boldly uttered some taboo words. After he finished speaking, the slight anxiety in his eyebrows and eyes seemed to have eased a lot.

The twists and turns that Yinxiang suffered in the early years were too great, and even affected his character. From the original boldness and straightforwardness, he became more or less cautious in his words and deeds. Later, after the fall of the Baye Party, he was given a son by Kangxi, He hasn't spoken much since then.

It's just that for his fourth brother, Yinxiang is grateful from the bottom of his heart, and he really doesn't want to see such a scene happen again, so he said bluntly: "There is a large army on the front line, and I also brought an imperial doctor. In fact, the fourth brother doesn't need to worry too much about the emperor. Ama. It seems that there are more important things at the moment, and I have to wait for the fourth brother to do it."

"You mean the Firearms Camp?" Yinzhen was not a fool after all, so he knew everything.

"Exactly, before Huang Ama left the capital, he handed over the firearms battalion to the fourth brother, hoping that the fourth brother could do something about firearms. Especially in the recent battle reports, what Chu Ni relied on was the power of guns , but my Daqing’s current firearms are outdated and unusable, which gave Chu Ni a chance, and this is also an opportunity for Fourth Brother.”

Yinzhen nodded, he put the chessboard together and couldn't help sighing, "A few days ago, I went up and down the firearms camp and found out that the current situation of the firearms in my Qing Dynasty is really unspeakable! "

"In the past when we fought against Galdan, our guns and artillery in the Qing Dynasty have already lagged behind the opponent, and the guns and artillery used by us are everywhere, and now we have not made any progress. Instead, it has declined more and more. Out of a hundred cannons, there are only about forty of them that can be used!"

"If it weren't for the current shortage of craftsmen, this king really wants to kill them alive!"

Yinzhen was so angry that he couldn't help but slapped the table hard, but he hurt his finger and blood flowed out.It's just that he didn't care about the bloodstains, and just sat there and sighed.

Yinxiang was in a hurry, and quickly called the maid to apply the medicine and bandage. After everything was done, he said in a low voice: "Fourth brother, don't be in a hurry now. I can see it. This battle between us and Chu Ni , I'm afraid it won't calm down in a short time, so for the future, the fourth brother should be more patient now."

Seeing what Yinxiang meant, although Yinzhen was like a bright mirror in his heart, he still chose to pretend to be confused, "At present, Huang Ama is leading the army on the front line of Huguang, and it is only a matter of time before Chu Ni is wiped out. Your fourth brother, I can take care of the current situation." It would be good if the business of the stall is taken care of!"

"Fourth brother, you know what kind of man my old thirteen is. My old thirteen will just say, if fourth brother is interested in that position in the future, old thirteen is willing to help!"
