Chapter 77
In May of the 30th year of Kangxi, under the pretext of pursuing Khalkha, Galdan led 3 troops from Kulen Lake to the south along the western foot of Daxing'an Mountains, pointing at Beijing.

Alani, Shangshu of the court of imperial fortune, led his troops to fight, but was defeated by the Wuerhui River.The Junggar army took advantage of the momentum and marched southward to the Ujimqin area.

As the eldest son of the emperor, Yinti heard about the defeat of the army, so he asked to play again, willing to be a pioneer, go to battle to kill the enemy, full of enthusiasm.

Kangxi was very pleased with this, so he placed it next to the prudent Prince Yu Fuquan.

"Okay, I will designate you as the vanguard of the right army and let you go into battle to kill the enemy."

Kangxi agreed to Yinti's demand on the spot and gave a few words of encouragement.

"These are your uncles and elders, Yinti, please ask them for advice." He motioned Yinti to salute them.

Under Kangxi's signal, Yinti saluted the younger uncles and elders: "Yinti greets all the uncles."

The princes also returned their gifts one after another.

The lords still have a good impression of Yinti, they don't like the Han people who are whiny, they like bloody men like Yinti.

Besides, Yinti is the prince, and he went to the battlefield to be gilded, so he didn't have to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy himself, as long as he stayed behind.

It can be seen that Yinti proposed to go to the front to kill the enemy, which left a good impression on the princes.
Lord Kangxi was also very pleased, feeling as if his son had grown up.

Nalan Mingzhu was also there, smiling like everyone else on the face, and very happy in his heart, the elder brother has done well, he is worthy of being the eldest son of the emperor.

At the beginning of July, the imperial court dispatched 10 troops, and adopted the strategy of splitting up and attacking together, and ordered Fuquan, Prince Yu, to lead the left side of the Fuyuan General, and Prince Gong Changning, to lead the right side of the Anbei General, to attack from Gubeikou and Xifengkou respectively; Generals Shengjing and Jilin sent troops westward to fight with the main force.

Kangxi personally led troops to garrison Boluo and Tundu Army, and Prince Gong marched to Ujumqin. The Qing army lacked food supplies and was in a bad situation. They encountered the Junggar army and retreated south after losing the battle.

The news came back to the capital, and the stock of the household department had been taken away with the army at the beginning of July, and now the granary is empty.

When the crown prince heard the news, he summoned the officials of the household department and the cabinet ministers in Beijing.

In the end, it was decided to adjust the grain from the local area. First, it was adjusted from the local granaries in Shuntianfu and Baoding. However, Kerkun, the minister of the Ministry of household affairs, told the prince that the stock in these two places could not even meet the daily consumption of the army.

Suo'etu assisted His Royal Highness to supervise the country. As the emperor's close ministers, everyone knows that the emperor attaches great importance to this matter, and the crown prince can handle this matter well. His ability to handle affairs can not only be recognized by the emperor,
The ministers will also look at the prince with admiration. After all, the 16-year-old prince has not yet married, and he is not considered an adult without a wedding.

After the ministers left, Suo'etu and the prince were still discussing countermeasures.

In Ergenjueluo's residence, Ama Korkun of Dafujin was very happy. After communicating with the eldest son's study room for a while, they each went back to their wives.

Kangxi wanted to exterminate Galdan many years ago. As a close minister of Kangxi, Kerkun, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, of course knew about it.

Yiergenjueluo's family also started hoarding grain three years ago. In order to cause unnecessary trouble, they did not buy grain from outside, and all grain was from their own family.

Speaking of this, Kerkun is very proud. His eldest son was admitted to Jinshi at the age of 23, but he got it from the real test. There are very few Manchus on the list, but there are quite a few Wu Xiucai and Wu Juren.
