Chapter 857 Northwest Police ([-])

Negotiations, especially those involving specific terms, have never been an easy task. Even if both parties have full cooperation sincerity, due to the conflict of each other's positions, it is absolutely impossible to hit it off. The determination of each term , have to fight for countless rounds with sharp lips and swords before there is a possibility of compromise. This has nothing to do with friendship or sincerity. It is a conflict of interests between countries, but no one dares to give up lightly. Obviously, the half-day time limit given by Hongqing is not enough at all. No matter how strong the willingness of the two parties to cooperate, it is impossible to reach an agreement in such a short period of time. In fact, this difficult negotiation has been postponed for three days. , just now a framework draft was really formed. As for the specific implementation rules, they are still in a blank state, but Hong Qing does not intend to continue, and made a firm decision to postpone the implementation details to Great Britain Separate negotiations will take place after the Kingdom has gained a foothold in the Straits of Malacca.

On the first day of August in the first year of Chengde, Hongqing published this chapter on the results of the negotiations with the British Kingdom's envoys, and submitted the framework agreement reached with the other party to the imperial court. It was just a matter of discussion, but Emperor Chengde still did not express his position. Afterwards, he submitted the draft agreement to the court for discussion. After nearly half a month of tossing, Hong Qing's request was finally approved.

Although half a month is not too long, it is really not too short. Is the draft negotiation agreement really that important?of course not!In the eyes of Emperor Chengde, the value of that thing will not be higher than a few straw papers. As for what is related to the interests of the country and the Eight Banners, it is actually just some high-sounding excuses. There is only one purpose, and that is to delay Hongqing's return to the army as much as possible. If it were not for the news of a change in the northwest, such a worthless agreement would have to be approved by Emperor Chengde. It's half a year later.

For the ordinary people in Shengdou or the low-level officials in the court, the Great War in the Northwest has just passed for more than seven years. Although the Qing Dynasty did not win a real victory, it should have almost exhausted the Junggar tribes. It is only a few years or even ten years of peace in exchange, but in the eyes of the well-informed top officials, the chaos in the Northwest is just an immediate event, and the only difference is when it will break out. For more than seven years, the Qing army has been moving across the northern and southern borders. It seems to be very majestic, and many wars have been fought, but in fact, it did not hurt the muscles of the Junggar tribes at all. On the contrary, it was the Qing Dynasty itself. The cost was enormous. If it weren't for the support of the two major economic giants, the Ministry of Industry and the "Eight Banners Firm", the Qing's finances would have collapsed long ago. Now, the main force of the Qing army entrenched on the sandbar has long been withdrawn, and the strength of the Northwest troops has been seen. Emptiness, not only the tribes of the Junggar will make a comeback, but even the Luobu Zangdanjin, who has always been attached to the Qing Dynasty, is about to move, and the chaos in the Northwest is not far away!

On August [-]th of the first year of Chengde, Chahan Danjin, the Mongolian prince who ruled the southeastern part of Qinghai, arrived in Beijing in a secret report, claiming that Lobu Zangdanjin had secretly formed an alliance with Cewang Allah Butan, and received a large number of troops from the Junggar tribe. The aid of arms and supplies, and a secret agreement with Chahan Nuomen Khan, the head of the Kumbum Monastery, raised the flag against the Qing Dynasty. The temples and Tibetan tribes in Qinghai were all bewitched. chaos.

Speaking of which, Emperor Chengde was also a person who fought in wars. He participated in the third battle of Junggar when the old man Kangxi personally conquered the Junggar. Of course, he did not lead the troops to the front line, but just accompanied the old man. Later, He even led the army to suppress the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect in Henan, but when it comes to military strategy and ability, it is only half-baked. Hongqing returned to Fengtai Daying to reorganize the army, and then sent Changshou, the right servant of the Lifan Academy, to rush to Chahantuoluohai (the location of Luobu Zangdanjin camp) to mediate, trying to delay Luobu Zangdanjin's rebellion.

Although Emperor Chengde's countermeasures were not very brilliant, they were quite satisfactory, especially the mobilization arrangements of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War were quite good. Unfortunately, he still underestimated the rebellion of Luo Bu Zang Danjin As soon as Chang Shoufang arrived at Chahan Tuoluo Sea, he was captured by Luo Bu Zang Danjin on the spot. Although he was not killed, he was completely put under house arrest. Convened the Qinghai Erut Mongolian Taiji to meet in Chahan Tuoluohai, instigated the rebellion against the Qing Dynasty, ordered the ministries to restore their original titles, and no longer called the king, Baylor, Beizi, Gong and other titles, and called for the reconstruction of the ancestors Gu Real Khan's hegemony, Luo Buzangdanjin called himself Hongtaiji to command the ministries.

As soon as the Luobu Zangdanjin rebelled against the flag, Chahan Nuomen Khan, the head of the Kumbum Monastery, immediately responded. Immediately, all the temples in Qinghai and Tibetan tribes responded with troops. In less than a month, [-] people gathered. There are more than ten thousand people, and several Mongolian princes including Prince Chahandanjin and the county king Erdenier Ketok Tonai expressed their firm opposition to the rebellion of Lobu Zangdanjin and gathered troops , preparing to start a war with Luobu Zangdanjin, but it is a pity that the preparations are not yet ready. The army of Luobu Zangdanjin has already arrived first, and wiped out all the opponents one by one in half a month like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves. Erde Nier Ketok Tuo Nai was killed in battle, and Chahan Danjin escaped with his own body. He led several personal guards and fled to Laoyaguan in embarrassment. So far, the whole province of Qinghai fell into the hands of Luo Buzang Danjin.

Once the news of the fall of Qinghai was spread, the government and the public were shocked by it, and the call for war was loud. Both officials and ordinary people were calling on the court to send troops to quell the chaos as soon as possible. Unprepared, Emperor Chengde was a little panicked , nothing else, because of his deliberate procrastination, the new army of Fengtai Camp has not yet been reorganized-although the 12 army has been formed, the weapons and equipment have not yet been fully equipped, and the recruits have not yet completed the most basic training. It is really difficult to guarantee combat effectiveness, and it is not suitable for battle. Moreover, the cold winter season has arrived, and it is difficult to transfer supplies and supplies. It's not over yet, let alone rushing to the front line again. Emperor Chengde was in a state of desperation, and had to urgently summon Prince Yong Yunxiang and Prince Ren Hongqing who were in Fengtai camp to discuss countermeasures.

"The younger brother (children) greets His Majesty (Huang Ama)!"

Emperor Chengde had a summons, so Old Thirteen and Hong Qing didn't dare to neglect to go. After explaining the military affairs, they rushed to the imperial city hand in hand in the snow. After handing over the card, Chengde was already won. Accompanied by Li Dequan, who came to announce the decree, he arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation without a word. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw that Emperor Chengde was not sitting on the dragon bed, but standing in the hall , leaning over a huge copy, on which was a large map, surrounded by Zhang Tingyu, Ma Qi and other military ministers, who were obviously discussing the chaos in the Northwest. The old thirteenth uncle and nephew didn't dare to be negligent, they rushed forward one after another, paying respects and paying homage in succession.

"Forget it, let's all be flat."

Hearing the sound, Emperor Chengde immediately raised his head, looked at Hong Qing's uncle and nephew tiredly, and cried out in a hoarse voice.

"Thank you Your Majesty (Huang Ama) Long En, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Since Emperor Chengde shouted, shouting long live three times is the meaning in the title, but there is nothing to say.

"How is the reorganization of the new army going?"

Emperor Chengde has been in extreme torment for the past half month. There is nothing else like this. The pressure of the battle between the government and the opposition is enormous, but he has no soldiers to move. What worries him now is not how to suppress the rebellion, but how to deal with it. Resisting the possible offensive of Luobu Zangdanjin, but the martial arts strategy is mediocre, and there is no one around him who knows how to do it. After discussing for many days, he failed to come up with a proper countermeasure. It really makes Emperor Chengde I was so worried that I couldn't eat, it was only half a month, and Emperor Chengde was obviously emaciated, if he hadn't really had no other options, he wouldn't have waited for the critical juncture of training the new army , and summoned the old thirteen and Hong Qing back together.

Hearing that Emperor Chengde asked about the progress of the new army, Uncle Hongqing and his nephew couldn't help feeling a little resentful in their hearts, nothing else, if it wasn't for Emperor Chengde's constant tricks, the new army should have almost finished training by now. But right now, they are still far from having basic combat effectiveness. You must know that army training is not just as simple as changing clothes, nor can it be done by going out to drill or walking in the queue. Even if there are 1 elite new troops After laying the groundwork, but under the sudden expansion of ten times, the combat effectiveness of the army not only did not increase, but dropped a lot. If the various ministries want to run smoothly, it will be difficult to do it in less than a year, even if it is to form a preliminary combat effectiveness. , It will take more than half a year of training. As for the seemingly huge army at present, it is really not useful.

"Returning to His Majesty, the progress is quite smooth. It's just that the snow has been heavy recently, and the movements of various ministries are inconvenient. Maybe it will be better after the spring."

Although their hearts were full of resentment, since Emperor Chengde asked, the uncle and nephew had to answer. After exchanging glances quickly, the old thirteen came forward and gave a vague answer.

"Hmm... so, even with the beginning of spring, this new army will hardly be useful, am I not mistaken?"

Emperor Chengde is a shrewd person, although the old thirteen was vague, but Chengde emperor understood the meaning inside, his brows furrowed involuntarily, and he looked at the old thirteen and Hong Qing questioned unsatisfactorily.

　A new month, a new start, sincerely ask for a guaranteed monthly pass!
