Chapter 339 Walk more, see more

The capital in June is extremely hot, and the sound of cicadas ringing everywhere makes everyone inside and outside the palace feel extremely upset. In the early years, the sticky sticks that pretended to be catching cicadas are really not catching cicadas now. They are now focusing on Yu arrests, interrogates and executes, but the smell of blood has long been strong and can't be dispelled.

Zhang Boxing's mission has returned to the capital, and at the same time they brought back Yunxiang's body. After being beheaded, Ning Yu specially allowed Zhang Boxing to bring Yunxiang's head and body back to the capital, so after simple stitching Afterwards, Zhang Boxing directly put Yunxiang into the coffin, covered with ice and salted fish all around, and took it back to the capital regardless of the bad smell along the way.

It's just that after being exposed to the scorching heat, the handsome and unrestrained Prince Yi Yunxiang in the past has now turned into a pile of rotten flesh with a foul smell. No one can believe that this is real, and many people dare not look at it.

Only Emperor Yongzheng, who had always been on good terms with Lao Shisan, felt a little sad in his heart, so he bravely took a look, but this glance didn't matter, but Emperor Yongzheng vomited before he even had time to cry. A sputtering.

At the same time, in order to avenge the thirteenth master, Yongzheng decreed that all people except Zhang Boxing should be put into the prison at the sticky pole. Severe interrogation was carried out every day. Under torture, almost everyone pointed the crime at Zhang Boxing
"Jingan, what is going on here, the emperor is really angry this time, hey!"

Xu Yuanmeng held a cup of tea and sipped it carefully, his face was a bit regretful, but he was still leisurely blowing the foam on the surface of the tea, which really made people feel a little bit sincere.

Zhang Boxing is more than 70 years old, but no one can see the depth of the city. Even his deal with Ning Chu seems to have never taken it to heart. It's ruined! Prince Yi and the old minister went to the south together, but in the end only the old minister came back alive. The old minister is sorry for Prince Yi, and even more sorry for the emperor!"

"Then you are always talking about what the rules are for this mission? How can I hear people say that you are always leading people to imitate Ban Dingyuan's feat and want to intercept Zhu Ni and the bandit mission in Nanjing City?" , did this go wrong?"

Zhang Boxing sighed deeply, "This assassination has something to do with it, and it was the old minister's suggestion. This time, it was originally the old minister's fault, but Chu Ni has been holding on to Prince Yi, so he just killed him. The old minister wished he could die to replace each other, but Chu Ni forbids it."

In this matter, Zhang Boxing is not worried at all. The reason is very simple. On the surface, Chu Ni intentionally intensified the conflict with the Qing court, so killing Prince Yi was the result, but the cause was not Zhang Boxing. The mission, so in Zhang Boxing's series of words, there are vague hints that the veterans should not be blamed.

Xu Yuanmeng had some headaches. Of course, he had reason to doubt Zhang Boxing's role in this matter, but he couldn't do it casually. After all, Zhang Boxing was still the benchmark set by Yongzheng after succeeding to the throne, and he specially gave the plaque "Famous Minister of Rites and Music", If other methods are used to deal with this veteran, what will the rest of the court think?Especially Hanchen, I am afraid that he will be even more eccentric.

At the same time, there was another situation that Xu Yuanmeng didn't dare to think about, that is, if Zhang Boxing really took refuge in Ning Chu, what should he do?
This means a very terrifying thing, that is, Hanchen, who was reused in both the Kangxi and Yongzheng dynasties, has now defected to the enemy. Who else can be trusted?This is almost a devastating blow to the current Manchu and Han situation in the court, which is much more serious than the death of a prince.

"Jing'an, what the emperor means is that this trip is too tiring, I want you to rest in the mansion first, and put aside the affairs of the Ministry of Rites for now, and the other party has an explanation for it."

After all, Xu Yuanmeng didn't break the casserole to ask the end. He also knew that this matter was destined to be fruitless. Maybe the entire mission, except Zhang Boxing, would die, but after death, the matter would be over.

Zhang Boxing had a wry smile on his face, "The old minister understands in his heart that there is nothing important to let go of. Maybe studying in the mansion is the life that the old minister hopes to live more."

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Emperor Yongzheng held a memorial in his hand. The information on it was submitted by a spy in the mission. Almost all of them are recorded.

"So, Yunxiang's death was completely used by Chu Ni to cut off the White Lotus Sect and Zhu Yigui's retreat?"

Yongzheng's face was flushed, and he looked at the sticky guards kneeling below, "What about you? Didn't you know anything beforehand? What's the use of raising you?"

The sticky stick guard knelt on the ground, kowtowing, "Reporting to the emperor, Jiang Ning has now been completely wiped out by Chu Ni, and the spies planted by the servants are either exposed or still lurking, and there is no secret to contact Chu Ni." Prince Fanyi was killed, and the slave will die!"

Yongzheng glanced at the sticky stick guard coldly, and said slowly, "Is there anything wrong with Zhang Boxing?"

"This may be a problem." The sticky guard's brows were covered with cold sweat, so he could only whisper, "The slave has not got any definite evidence, but this time he is the most suspected. I hope the emperor will find out!"

"Go down"

There was a kind of weakness in Yongzheng's voice, he almost collapsed on the dragon chair.

"twitter"

As far as Yongzheng was concerned, he could no longer trust anyone, even his own son was against him—in this situation, did it matter whether Zhang Boxing connected with Ning Chu?
If he could kill, Yongzheng would have killed him a long time ago, but he didn't kill him now, it's all because of the current situation, there is no way for Yongzheng to do this. It doesn't matter if he kills Zhang Boxing, the turmoil that will be caused later will take more time to appease. It's really not worth the candle.

Between Beijing and Nanjing right now, Yongzheng and Ningyu are not the only two people, there are more enemies beside them, but Yongzheng and Ningyu are more like two millstones, combining the people around them and Everything was twisted in, twisted to pieces. Especially for Yongzheng right now, compared to Ning Yu, he has no turning back.

Those who were caught in this vortex, besides the courtiers in Beijing, were Nian Gengyao and Yue Zhongqi who were far away in the northwest. They felt differently about this north-south dispute.

The battle in the northwest went more smoothly than anyone imagined. The Qing army won a decisive victory in the first battle of Guolong Temple. After being defeated near Xining, Luobu Zangdanjin retreated to Qinghai Aola Muhulu, east of Qaidam, at this time, the main force of Luobu Zangdanjin was greatly damaged, and it was already showing signs of lingering.

After the first battle at Guolong Temple, Yue Zhongqi saw the decline of Luobu Zangdanjin at this time, so she advised Nian Gengyao, the general of Fuyuan, to go straight to Huanglong when the spring grass was not blooming, and Nian Gengyao readily accepted it. , Divided the troops into three routes to attack, of which Yue Zhongqi and his bodyguard Fu Nai went out to the south, the general Wu Zhengan went out to the north, the generals Huang Xilin and Song Ke went in and out of the middle, and the lieutenants Wang Song and Ji Chengbin searched the mountains. .

It has to be said that Yue Zhongqi's vision is very precise and vicious. Under the multi-way division of troops, Luobu Zangdanjin had no choice but to divide the pass with his generals, like himself living in Aolamuhulu, east of Qaidam, His generals Albutan Wenbu and Chulak Nomqi stationed troops in Hara Wusu.

Then Yue Zhongqi led the elite soldiers to attack Hara Usu, and they hid all the way, so they were not noticed by Albu Tanwenbu. Thousands, the rest of the rebels fled, and then Yue Zhongqi continued to lead his troops to chase for a whole day and night to Iqkarji, and captured Albutan Wenbu and his wife Chang Maer, two brothers Qinghuangtaiji, Jijizabutaiji, etc. , and successively captured the two enemy camps of Gasi and Ciburha.

After that, Yue Zhongqi led [-] elite soldiers and [-] good horses to Burhatun, and approached the Luobu Zangdanjin Camp. Showing a siege.

Under such circumstances, Luo Bu Zang Danjin could only continue to flee westward, and led Erdeni, Zangbazabu, Geerge Zhunang, Erke Daiqing, and Kuler, five great auspicious figures, He fled to Ulan Muhuer with tens of thousands of people.Yue Zhongqi took advantage of the victory to pursue, and under the guidance of Peng Cuochuyin, the small leader of the surrendered rebel army, he drove three hundred miles day and night, and intercepted the Luobu Zangdanjin camp at the Sangtuohai at the junction of Qinghai and Tibet. The camp is scattered around the water plants and is in a deep sleep.

Yue Zhongqi led the Qing army to step directly into the camp, smashing the army of Luobu Zangdanjin, and captured alive the rebel chieftains such as Altai Hatun, the mother of Luobuzangdanjin, sister Abao, and other Taiji. Jin himself disguised himself as a woman and led a small number of remnant cavalry to flee north and join the Zhunkaer tribe.

An unprecedented victory made Yue Zhongqi famous all over the world. When the news of the victory reached the capital, Emperor Yongzheng came out of his slumped state. He even stood barefoot in front of the map, measuring the lost ground Yue Zhongqi regained. The famous general who was defeated by the Fu Han army before finally proved himself again.

Overjoyed, Emperor Yongzheng did not treat the number one hero Yue Zhongqi lightly. , took a golden fan handle, wrote a seven-character regulated poem, and a pair of yellow belts, and gave them to Yue Zhongqi.

The fighting was over, and the rewards were over, but the problem came again. The White Lotus Sect Dayi Army captured Dagu Pass in June and formally surrounded Luoyang. At this time, there were about 4 Qing troops stationed in Luoyang, and their combat strength was average. It's okay to hold on to it reluctantly, but if the Dayi Army turns westward and advances to Tongguan, it means that Guanzhong is in danger.

Logically speaking, Shaanxi-Gansu is an important military base of the Qing court, and there are not many large troops stationed here all the year round. The garrison general Sudan in Xi'an, Fan Shijie, the governor of Shaanxi, and Yang Qiyuan, the governor of Shaanxi, all have an elite army under their command. Judging from the regulations , the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion will never have less than [-] troops, but the problem is that the Shaanxi soldiers are empty right now.

At the beginning of the conquest of Wangarabutan, the green battalions in Shaanxi and Gansu were basically mobilized. Later, when the Fuhan army raised troops, part of the Shaanxi army was taken by Nian Gengyao to attack Yunyang Prefecture. The loss was very heavy, and now the Eight Banners and the Green Camp in Shaanxi have a total of less than 5000 people, and it is very difficult to defend Guanzhong with only 5000 people.

In desperation, Yongzheng appointed Nian Gengyao as the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, and led the Northwest Army back to defend Shaanxi to resist the westward advance of the Dayi Army. However, in this way, the peace negotiation with Luobu Zangdanjin was put on the agenda.

In Xining City, there was joy in the tent of the Qing army, and all the generals drank and had fun to celebrate this great victory.

"It's a pity that Luobu Zangdanjin was not caught in Sang Tuohai and let him run away. Otherwise, how could there be such troubles today?"

Nian Gengyao was holding a silver knife in his hand, and was cutting the mutton on the table, but his mouth was full of greasy food. Just talking about this incident, he still let out a long sigh.

Yue Zhongqi, who was sitting at the bottom, had already swept away the past decline. His eyes were full of confidence. He took the lead in this battle. This is something that everyone in the world can see. Who would dare to say that he is a Incompetent people!Even the emperor sitting in the south shouldn't humiliate him like this!

But for Nian Gengyao, Yue Zhongqi still respected Nian Gengyao, and said softly: "General, Luo Bu Zang Danjin is just a rat, no matter where he hides, he will not pose any threat to my Qing Dynasty. If he still dares to make a slight change in the future, I will definitely give back today's saber to him!"

Nian Gengyao laughed loudly, stabbed the silver knife in his hand into the mutton, then held up the wine bowl, and said solemnly: "Dongmei, I will celebrate your achievements today, but I also understand in my heart that your ambition is not here. A small Luo Buzang Danjin is not worth your hands in the future!"

"The general knows very well that the last general, a Luo Buzang Danjin, is indeed insignificant."

Yue Zhongqiping was holding the wine bowl, with a bit of unwillingness on his face, "Chu Ni is the one I want to fight the most. I didn't win in the end of Anqing, but as long as there is a chance to fight next time, the end general will never fight again." lose!"

Last year's shocking decisive battle in Anqing almost wiped out Yue Zhongqi's arrogance. It's a pity that at this critical moment, Yongzheng gave him a chance to prove himself, and Yue Zhongqi was also fortunate to declare himself on the Northwest battlefield. Otherwise, the end of the generation may completely sink.

Hearing Yue Zhongqi's sigh from the bottom of his heart, Nian Gengyao nodded slowly, with a wry smile on his face, "The conflicts in today's troubled times are not only the honor of warriors like you and me, but also the thoughts of the unfortunate emperors of the North and the South. But they are generally unpredictable, let's go around more and see more!"
