Chapter 474
Hongli finally failed to become emperor ahead of schedule. Not long after the messenger arrived in Shengjing, news from other channels also reached Shengjing General Yi Libu. In the hands of the Qing army, the Fuhan army only landed a division from Jinzhou.

But after figuring out the truth, Yi Libu was in trouble. He sent people to call Fude, deputy capital of Shengjing, Yurui, deputy capital of Xiong Yue, Tong Delin, deputy capital of Xingjing, and others. Yin Duosuo and others from Fengtian Mansion called to discuss this matter together.

After the crowd arrived, Yi Libu sent someone to tell the whole story to everyone, but before they finished speaking, everyone below was already furious.

"General, Chu Ni has now invaded the land outside our pass, and you must not sit back and watch him build a castle!"

Fude, the vice governor of Shengjing, first stood up to oppose it, and the other senior officials of the Eight Banners were also filled with righteous indignation, like Yin Duosuo of Fengtian Mansion, who was so angry that he grabbed off a few beards, and all of them wanted to get back together. The Han army fought to the death.

The reason is very simple. For all the Eight Banners disciples, the outside of the pass is the real lifeblood. The current and future escape route is even the line of survival. For them, everything can be lost, but outside the pass must not be lost.

Not long after the Qing government entered the customs, it issued a complete prohibition order to prevent the Han people from invading their so-called "ancestral land". Strict control, and the Eight Banners garrison outside the pass has not been small.

In addition, after the situation in the customs deteriorated, Yongzheng also issued an order to leave the customs and reclaim land, expelling those Eight Banners masters in the capital to open up wasteland and farm outside the customs. Although most of the work was still done by Han people, but for these For the elders, this is also their income, and the whole family will have to rely on this to live in the future!

But once the Fuhan army gained a firm foothold outside the pass, Ning Jin would become a frontier again, and farming would definitely be impossible, and it had to be prevented from coming from the Fuhan army.If Ning Jin is recaptured by the Han people, it means that all the hard work now has become a wedding dress made for others.

Therefore, Yin Duosuo of Fengtian Mansion also said in a hurry: "Now there are more than [-] Eight Banners disciples who have been sent to farm outside the Guan. Just point to these lands to live, if there is no land, even if we don't die on the battlefield, we will starve to death!"

Others also expressed their views in the same way. The most critical issue they face now is to do their best to keep the Eight Banners back. No matter how the customs develops, the outside of the customs is the basic market, and there must be no chaos!
General Yi Libu of Shengjing immediately made a decisive decision and decided to send troops to attack Chu Ni. Of course, in his opinion, the chances of this battle were quite high. At least in Shengjing, there are currently more than [-] Eight Banners soldiers, There are also more than [-] newcomers from the Eight Banners, old and young, women and children. If we try our best to expand the army, we can send [-] to [-] soldiers.

Of course, Yi Libu has another choice, which is to wait for reinforcements under the command of Jilin General Batai and Heilongjiang General Nasutu. If he can gather all the troops of the three major generals in Manchuria, at least 4 to [-] people can come out. It will be even more sure to fight back against the Han army.

It's just that once all the troops in Manchuria are gathered, not only does it mean that all other places give up their garrison, but the gathering time is also very long. After all, one month or even two months is not enough to rush from Heilongjiang and Jilin to Shengjing. Wait until next spring.

However, Yi Libu can wait until the beginning of spring next year, can Emperor Yongzheng wait until next year to re-open Liaoxi?

Obviously, if Yi Libu did this, the first ones to behead him would be the other nobles in Shengjing, and even Hongli couldn't tolerate it.

"Send troops. We must send troops! You must call up the troops under your respective flags, as well as the Han army flag. This battle must have people come to the front as cannon fodder."

Yi Libu's face was more or less gloomy, but he was also praying silently in his heart, hoping that Guan Nei could get a result as soon as possible.
A guard of the Eight Banners in cotton armor, riding a fast brown-red horse, galloped all the way along the wide official road. His face was extremely pale, and his whole body was somewhat weak from the inside out, giving people A shaky feeling.

The horse's tongue was also drooping weakly. Its physical strength had long been exhausted. It was only because of the repeated whipping that it did not fall down immediately. However, judging from the current situation, it will be a matter of time before it dies on the spot. .

The Eight Banners guard seemed to be aware of the weakness of the horse beneath him. He didn't care about the horse that grew up with him. He gritted his teeth and beat the horse with the whip in his hand, forcing the horse to squeeze out the last bit of strength. , exhausting his last efforts, a looming city appeared not too far ahead.

"Crack—bang—"

The guard pulled out the last whip, finally causing the horse to fall completely on the road. However, due to his superb equestrian skills, the guard didn't immediately fly out and break his own neck - he hugged the horse tightly, and the whole body together He fell to the ground and passed out completely.
Bazhou City has now become a huge military camp. Nearly [-] Qing troops stationed in the city, most of them could not fit into the city, so they chose to station outside the city, and only the Eight Banners Banners One, defending Emperor Yongzheng and entering Bazhou.

Ever since leading the army to Bazhou, Yongzheng's spirit has improved a lot. His cheekbones have become higher and his face has become more sinister. He looked at every courtier with suspicious eyes.

"Yi Libu, Rui Lin, these two are like pigs and dogs. Chu Ni didn't notice that he landed in Manchuria, and even made him arrive at Shanhaiguan, damn it!"

"Although what Nadu said is not exhaustive, at least Shanhaiguan was not taken advantage of by Chu Ni, and someone should record his contribution."

The words of Emperor Yongzheng, in front of the ministers, revealed the naked crisis that Manchuria is facing at this time, that is, Chu Ni has already landed in Manchuria!But everyone didn't notice it at all!

This is really terrible!No one dared to imagine that once the Fuhan army occupied Shanhaiguan, those people who were still in the pass would have no way out of their last retreat in the future!

No one doubts the important position of Shanhaiguan, and no one even dares to imagine the result of the Qing army losing Shanhaiguan. You must know that the Qing army has never conquered Shanhaiguan. If Shanhaiguan fell into the hands of Chu Ni, even if they want to get it back, I'm afraid it's impossible.

Xu Yuanmeng felt a little tired and powerless, and he said softly: "Although Chu Ni has been repelled by Nadu, according to what he said, the thieves have not completely retreated, but entrenched in Ningjin, blocking the Liaoxi Corridor , I'm afraid it will only solve the immediate problem."

Yongzheng raised his eyebrows. He understood what Xu Yuanmeng meant, and he had to send troops to eliminate the Han army. Otherwise, the Qing Dynasty would have no way out, and the Qing Dynasty would be completely finished.

Everyone knows that the outside of the pass is the foundation and cannot be lost outside the pass, but how to deal with this part of the Han army is not an easy task, because right now the outside of the pass, especially the part of Shengjing, is not a place where heavy troops are entrenched. Just gather more than 1 people to come out, and it's hard to say if we really want to fight.

Debu, Minister of the Ministry of War, knelt down, and his voice was a bit dull, "Although there are four elder brothers in Shengjing, he is too young after all. General Yi Libu of Shengjing has misbehaved and has no strategy. Your Majesty should choose another talented person to preside over the overall situation in Shengjing."

Yongzheng was very dissatisfied with Yi Libu. He was responsible for the overall situation of Shengjing, and it was also related to the retreat of the Eight Banners. However, he was not aware of the fact that he was landed from the sea to Jinzhou. He and Ruilin are both going to be taken down, but there are not very good candidates to take down these two people.

After several years of fighting, the Qing Dynasty not only lost a large number of soldiers, but also lost a large number of experienced and capable talents, especially Manchurian talents, such as Fu Erdan, Garbi, Ertai, etc. People, originally very suitable to go outside the customs to take on the overall situation, but now they are no longer involved in the war.

The Han people still have some talents, but no matter like Nian Gengyao or Yue Zhongqi, they are no longer trusted by Yongzheng. His suspicion of the Han people is getting heavier and heavier, and it is absolutely impossible for the Han people in such a key place as Manchuria. He is in charge of the overall situation, so at this stage, Yongzheng found that he had no one to use.

"Yi Libu and Rui Lin are incapable of handling things, so naturally they are not suitable to continue to preside over the overall situation in Manchuria. I don't know the ministers, what recommendations do you have in mind?"

Xu Yuanmeng seemed to have thought about this issue long ago, and he said decisively: "Looking at the current situation, important ministers should be the first, and slaves recommend Ma Qi, a scholar of the Baohe Palace."

These words shocked the other ministers. Ma Qi was the first minister to be overthrown since Yongzheng ascended the throne. He has been out of work for a long time. Although his prestige is enough to be the general of Shengjing, what would Yongzheng think?
Contrary to everyone's imagination, Yongzheng didn't seem to be annoyed by this, but said indifferently: "Ma Qi has been out of work for a long time, how is his health?"

Xu Yuanmeng replied honestly: "Master Ma Qi is still in good health and can eat two bowls of meat every day."

Yongzheng smiled slightly, of course he knew what Xu Yuanmeng meant by recommending Ma Qi, in fact it was for the emperor to unite the Eight Banners, so as to avoid internal divisions under such a difficult situation.

Since Yongzheng ascended the throne, the reason why he attacked the old ministers and nobles of the Manchu and Mongolian countries was for the same purpose, to implement the New Deal, and to prevent the Baye Party from threatening his status. Therefore, veteran officials like Ma Qi are bound to be liquidated.

But from time to time, the reality today shows that the emperor can no longer fight alone, and must unite the different forces within the Eight Banners. Therefore, the past New Deal must be abandoned, and veteran officials must be re-appointed in order to heal people's hearts. And Xu Yuanmeng played the role of threading the needle.

Yongzheng could accept Ma Qi's coming out of the mountain again, but letting Ma Qi monopolize power, especially in a place like Shengjing, was unacceptable to Yongzheng.

The current Shengjing is mainly dominated by General Shengjing, but his power is also severely restricted, and the constraints are the accompanying capital institutions such as Fengtian Mansion and the Fifth Ministry of Shengjing. However, there are many overlapping and overlapping functions and powers, so the Shengjing area has different powers to prevent one person from dominating.

"The general of Shengjing can be appointed by Ma Qi, but if Fengtian Prefecture wants to select another talented person, Zhang Tingyu can be appointed. As for the position of Shengjing's general manager in Shengjing's five ministries, Marsai will be appointed."

Yongzheng's tone was very flat, and he outlined a new power structure in a few words, through Zhang Tingyu and Marsay, thus forming constraints on Ma Qi.

When everyone heard this, their faces immediately became very exciting. Zhang Tingyu's imprisonment as a Hanchen must be only a short-lived state. After all, Jiang Tingxi has no way to integrate the Hanchen. Not surprising.

However, the Shengjing manager set up on the head of the Shengjing Five Departments is a bit complicated. It is equivalent to integrating the power of the Shengjing Five Departments. It's quite big, and it's not a problem to compete with Ma Qi head-on.

Marsai is the grandson of Tuhai, the first-class loyal prince. After Tuhai's death, he inherited the title of first-class duke. , Minister of Health and other positions, so my qualifications and prestige are absolutely sufficient.

Of course, it was impossible for Xu Yuanmeng to object to this appointment, and everyone immediately thanked him for the order, but after receiving the order, he had to pass the order back to the capital, and then arrange these few people to go to Shengjing to lead the overall situation.

However, here comes the problem. The Liaoxi Corridor is currently blocked, and there are ships of the Fuhan Army on the sea road, so the few people can only go around from the direction of Xifengkou. It's hard to say that it won't work.And many major events have gradually failed in such details.

Of course, for the current Yongzheng, he can only choose to arrange this way, hoping that these people can bring him good news.

Just after everyone's discussion was completed, a person rushed in from outside the hall. He was the first-class Gong Xibao who was in charge of commanding the army. At this time, his face was very ugly, even a little pale.

"Your Majesty, there is urgent news from the front line."

Yongzheng subconsciously felt something was wrong, but no matter how difficult the situation was, he had to face it, so he could only say in a concentrated voice, "Speak."

Xibao knelt on the ground and said in grief and indignation: "Song Kejin, Admiral of Zhili, has already surrendered to the Fuhan Army, and all the soldiers of the Eight Banners of our Qing Dynasty in Tianjin have been killed."

"puff--"

Dots of blood appeared on Yongzheng's chest in an instant, his face became extremely pale, and he fell behind him, as if he finally couldn't bear the heavy pressure from soul to body at this moment, thus declaring a complete collapse.
