Emperor Kangxi: Yuyu Chengxiang

Chapter 102 Leading the King’s Master Kangxi to Resign from the Imperial Capital to Welcome the Rebel Army Zagon and Bleeding Himself (1)
Five days later, the military dispatch ceremony for Yujia's personal conquest of Galdan was held in front of the Wufeng Building outside the Meridian Gate.In the first three days, according to the procedures formulated by the Ministry of Rites, Kangxi offered sacrifices to the Temple of Heaven, the Taimiao, and the God of Taisui. Gubeikou transferred back [-] cavalry troops to accept Kangxi's review.

At noon on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the bells and drums hanging over the Meridian Gate rise slowly, and at the same time, the bell towers and drum towers on the east and west of Zhengyang Gate also echo each other.At that time, it was snowing heavily in Beijing, and Qiongyu was falling all over the sky. On the east, west, and south sides of the empty square outside the Meridian Gate, three large teams of black crows stood, motionless like cast iron.Zhang Tingyu and Tong Guowei, the Ministers of the Shang Study who stayed in Beijing, brought the princes in Beijing, Bei Le, Bei Zi, the six ministers and nine ministers, and foreign officials. More than [-] officials who came to Beijing to introduce them surrounded the crown prince Yinfeng in front of the right door and waited to send the emperor off. .Hundreds of thousands of people in the capital had received the edicts of amnesty and never adding gifts the day before. Although it was cold and snowy, they were very interested and flocked to the newly erected silk curtain outside Zhengyangmen to watch the excitement. Son, every household has set up an incense table, with wine and meat on display, and it is regarded as a pot of pulp and leather food to send off Master Wang.

After a while, I heard two cannons sounding like the sky falling and the earth cracking from the Wufeng Tower. The middle gates of Zhengyangmen, Tiananmen, Di'anmen and Meridian Gate were unbolted and opened, and the Changyin Pavilion in front of the Zuoye gate was enshrined. Hit the pan and sing the music, the sound of Sheng, Huang, flute, Xiao, and Yungong is loud.Fei Yanggu saw a group of servants holding dragon flags and banners pouring out of the Meridian Gate, he raised his mind to watch carefully, and waited until the 21st team of the Habayashi Army had finished.Fang saw Suo'etu and Gao Shiqi led more than forty guards in military uniform and swords, and rode out of the Meridian Gate on royal horses.Fei Yanggu glanced at the two generals Tong Guogang and Nian Gengyao standing behind him, nodded slightly, and held the sword bestowed by Kangxi on his chest.Immediately, hundreds of horned snails raised their backs and shouted loudly towards the sky.

Almost at the same time, the band under Zuoyemen played the sound of Bianzheng, and hundreds of people sang "Youping Chapter" together:
Strong military capacity, prestige Quartet.Linge spear, Senjia battle.Sectioned rhinoceros, the seven genus are as rotten as silver;This is, Jincheng Guarantee!
Zhanlu Zidian, bearing shadows and light, hair like water, quality like frost, even more brave and brave, Dragon City Flying General, full of arrogance and piercing bullfighting, Diao Dou spreads thousands of tents.Nine combinations are completed, two bows are handed over, three songs are played clearly, and the army is full of enthusiasm!
During the singing, the Crown Prince led the officials to kneel down three times and nine times to lift up the dust and dance in worship. The mountain shouted long live, and the [-] soldiers saw Nian Gengyao waving the apricot-yellow flag in his hand, and shouted loudly:
"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"

Kangxi has a golden helmet on his head, a leopard tail armor, and a Ming Huangjiang silk gown under a wide shawl, with gold inlaid red and sapphire thread ties around his waist.Stars and eyes twinkled under the ink-painted eight-character eyebrows, and he looked very energetic in the snow.He pressed the sword in his hand, his face was flushed, and he looked around, feeling a little overwhelmed.

This is the second time for a military parade in this place. The previous time was in the twelfth lunar month of the 12th year of Kangxi. Wu Sangui's "San Francisco" rebelled in the south, and Prince Chahar in the north rebelled. The entire garrison is only more than [-] people. How can it compare to today's rigorous military appearance and the momentum of full soldiers and horses eager to try!Amid the deafening shouts, Kangxi solemnly raised his hand to pay tribute to the three armies. Immediately, there was a complete silence in front of the Meridian Gate, only the rustling of heavy snowfall.

"Soldiers!" Kangxi shouted loudly.

"Long live!" The echo was like a mountain roaring and a tsunami.

"Gerdan's traitors are ambitious. For more than ten years, they have repeatedly colluded with Luocha, invaded the Central Plains in the east, annexed Mongolia, slaughtered our cities, killed our people, destroyed our unification of China, and disturbed our people's livelihood. This is tolerable and unacceptable. Forbearance!" Kangxi said in a loud voice, and the words fell to the ground, "I am now in command of the three armies, and I will lead 30 Manchu and Han cavalry to punish the country's thieves, and I will not destroy the ugly captives, and I will not return the court!" After finishing speaking, he took out a branch from his quiver. The eagle feather and wolf tooth arrow broke with a "snap", "Those who are afraid of the enemy and do not follow orders are like this arrow!"

Although the words were short, they were very powerful, trembling with the sound of gold and stone. Tens of thousands of soldiers were well-trained. Seeing what the emperor said, he knelt down on one knee and repeated loudly:

"I will not destroy the ugly prisoner, I swear not to return to court!"

"Raise the flag!"

Fei Yangzhan urged his horse to move forward a few steps, and shouted loudly with his sword.A bright yellow dragon flag rises slowly on the big flag set in the center of the school's military field, fluttering in the north wind and goes straight to the top of the pole.The [-] sergeants transferred from the Ruijian camp by the household department carried the wine jars to the front of each army, poured bowls and handed them to the soldiers on the expedition.Zhang Tingyu and Tong Guowei saw that the crown prince was going to pour wine for Kangxi, so they hurriedly carried a jar of wine over, filled it up and knelt down to hold it to the crown prince.Yinfeng also knelt down, held the wine high above his head, and said: "Ama, my son, please drink this cup to the full. May Ama go to the flag to win! My son will abide by the emperor's order, supervise the food and pay, and wait for the emperor. Nice voice!"

"Okay, I've used this wine." Seeing Yinreng's red eyes, Kangxi couldn't help being emotional, "Don't forget to study at home, and discuss everything with the two ministers more. If there are important matters that cannot be resolved, report to me on a flying horse. Let me make the decision. The princes are your brothers and should not be punished lightly, remember?" Seeing Yinfeng bowing his head and agreeing one by one, Kangxi suddenly remembered and said, "Mingzhu didn't come today, he is a guilty person, don't Participate in the grand ceremony, you pass the decree to him, telling him to go out with the army!"

Several ministers were at the side, and Suo'etu looked at Tong Guowei after hearing this, and Tong Guowei also glanced over, only one pair, and immediately moved away.

Gao Shiqi was surprised at first, but then realized that he was afraid that Mingzhu would conspire with Tong Guowei to harm the prince in Kangxi's absence, and knowing that Mingzhu's departure would be dangerous, he couldn't help but think of himself, and he still hasn't thought of a safe escape good way.He actually shivered.After Kangxi drank a toast of Moutai, he looked even more refreshed and radiant. He tossed the big cup and shouted: "The three armies are out of the city!"

Seeing Kangxi like this, the sergeants raised their bowls and drank the wine in one gulp. The bowls were smashed by the sound of the mountain, and they lined up and marched towards Tiananmen Square.

Galdan arrived in Ulan Butong in the autumn of the 28th year of Kangxi, when the commander-in-chief of [-] Zhungeer tribes arrived in Ulan Butong.This time when I came to Monan Mongolia from the east, I negotiated with the Dalai Lama Sangjie Rencuo of Qinghai-Tibet in advance, and the Tibetan soldiers maintained the rear route. Ulan Butong immediately borrowed [-] muskets from the Luocha Army in Heilongjiang to equip them. The secret letter sent by Zhuo Suotu repeatedly assured that as soon as the "great Galdan" arrives in Monan, all the people on the Horqin Grassland will Cattle and sheep are the source of payment for the army, and all the Mongolian hussars in Horqin are loyal and brave subordinates of the Great Khan... There is good news in all directions.Galdan was really complacent.The [-] cavalry he brought with him were all powerful troops who followed him to pacify the four tribes of Zhungeer and the three tribes of Khalkha and Mongolia. It can be said that they are foolproof.As long as the roots are firmly established in Ulan Butong, Eastern and Western Mongolia and Mobei Mongolia will soon be united as one.The Kangxi country in the pass will be slaughtered piece by piece within a few years.Thinking of the vast and endless empire of Genghis Khan back then, Galdan's blood was throbbing, and his heart was pounding with excitement.

But as soon as he arrived in Ulan Butong, he found that things were far from as expected.Those who accompanied Grigoriev to Heilongjiang to collect ordnance had not heard from him for three months.This is a bad omen.Zhuo Suotu fell ill at this time, so he only sent Zagon, the steward of his palace, to the army to take care of him, and he brought two hundred weak and barren old Capricorns to reward the army, and one thousand silk silks. It is colorful, and it has been stored in the warehouse for many years, but it will break when you twist it with your hands.Ge Erdan was far away from the mainland, and the food road was far away, and he was counting on Zhuo Suotu's support. How could he not be angry when he saw this situation?The military tent was fixed, and he was so angry that he couldn't sleep well all night. The next day when it was dawn, he ordered the tent to be raised for discussion.The Mongols are fierce and brave, they pay attention to faith, straightforwardness and generosity, but when it comes to etiquette, they don't have as many red tapes as the Central Plains people.The generals of each battalion visited Gerdan in the camp, and they all cursed King Horqin:

"The old guy is not a thing. He can't come by himself, and he doesn't even send one of his children. Is this the Mongolian rule for hospitality?"

"This housekeeper just doesn't look like a real person. He looks like a mouse, and I feel disgusted when I see it!"

"How can tens of thousands of horses and [-] camels survive the winter without food?"

"This old bastard..."
