Emperor Kangxi sent me to marry

Chapter 177

Galdan has a saying that is quite correct.

Nerchinsk is too far from Moscow.

The general will be outside, and the king's life will not be accepted.After Peter I succeeded in the coup and imprisoned his sister Princess Sophia, the most urgent task was to firmly grasp the power in his own hands, and he could not take Nerchinsk into consideration for the time being.Therefore, the defenders here unabashedly collected gold and silver from Galdan, and sold guns and gunpowder.

The two envoys of Oros, Vashli and Qi Keman, approached Ivan, the person in charge of Nerchinsk, and warned him not to break the agreement and drive away Galdan as soon as possible.Ivan complied cursingly, but the money was not refunded.

But this rest period is enough for the Junggar army: Galdan is desperate.He brought horses and camels from his hometown, and restocked artillery and ammunition.Kangxi's ambiguous attitude towards Iraguk made other eyeliners in Guihua City think that Sabsu's complaint had failed.They are still active, providing intelligence to Galdan.

The most important one is that Garzang of Karaqin is about to marry the three princesses and become Kangxi's son-in-law.

This isn't all bad for Galdan.At least the generals under his command were furious after knowing this, and vowed that as long as they invaded Karaqin, the first thing they would do was to behead the traitor Garzang.

Their problem at the moment is how to choose a new attack point.

Because Iraguk was imprisoned, Galdan could no longer have a detailed understanding of the movements of the Qing army as before.However, he knew the characteristics of nomadic life, the embarrassment of the three tribes of Khalkha, and based on the landforms he personally inspected last time, he finally made a decision.

Ur will be the river.

right here.

After the Chechen Khan tribe in Khalkha surrendered to Kangxi, they were arranged to graze nearby.Galdan interpreted it as that the population here was originally sparse, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate the tribes of the Chechen Khan, so they set up camp here.

It only took Galdan a few days to complete the assembly, departure, etc., and galloped along the western foot of Daxing'an Mountains. However, the Qing army did not have a destination at this time, and they waited silently in several military camps around the capital. for several months.

It's not anyone's fault.This is the aftermath of natural disasters.April and May are slow, and last year's disaster relief consumed too much storage. It is very tight to maintain the army's daily food, let alone mobile?The reality is that the storage of grain determines that the Qing army’s fault tolerance rate is extremely low. If they fail to find the Junggar army and destroy the opponent, the Qing army will fall into extreme passiveness, and they will be unable to move half a step due to lack of supplies.

But at this time, Alani lost his target again.The job of Lifanyuan Shangshu is a diplomat, Alani performed well, but as a military strategist, he is terrible.

Galdan disappeared without a trace again like lightning, and Alani could only rearrange the search.The assembly of the Qing army had just completed more than half, and was forced to stop.The boosted morale fell back again, and Kangxi was very helpless.But he also felt a little lucky: wait a little longer, maybe Galdan is afraid.Without the help of Raksha people, he retreated.When the first crop of rice in the south is mature and the grain is harvested, the battle can be more assured.

However, his lucky expectations were completely in vain.

On June [-], Galdan entered the Hulunbuir Grassland. According to intelligence, the pasture under their feet had just finished a round of nomadic herding, so there was no one there.The Junggar army drove straight in.

On June [-], the Zhun army entered the Wuerhui River Basin and launched a fierce attack on the Khalkha Chechen Khan who moved south here.They hardly encountered any effective resistance, so they took advantage of the victory and directed their troops to the Ujimqin Left Banner.The herdsmen of Monan, who had lived in peace for a long time, were also defeated in the face of the cavalry of Moxi who were used to fighting.Galdan continued to advance south after obtaining a large number of people, cattle and sheep, and property.

Faced with such an urgent military situation, Alani entered the Wuerhui River, surveyed the situation, wrote a memorial and returned to the capital, which took a full eight days.

After reading the memorial, Kangxi decided to send troops.

Can't wait any longer.

The date of departure was proposed by the Ministry of War on the fourth day of July.Kangxi was dissatisfied and asked to advance.

The first batch of troops was finally scheduled to set off on the first day of July.

All the troops that could be mobilized in the north were mobilized to go there.All Mongolian 49 Banners are equipped with soldiers, responsible for inquiring and delivering news; the firearms soldiers in Zhili and Tianjin, the pacesetters in Xuanhua Prefecture, and the rattan soldiers.As long as the candidates for military officers, Wu Jinshi, Juren and even dismissed officials under each banner dared to go to the front line, Kangxi was willing to give them a chance and promised to promote them according to their military merits in the future.The troops in Jilin, Shengjing, and Heilongjiang all increased their numbers, at least one thousand more soldiers, and reported directly in front of King Erhan's army.

Up to now, Kangxi has left the matter of military rations behind.He can't change new food.Then, there is only one result in front of him: defeating Galdan.Therefore, instead, he was worried that Galdan was satisfied with the property he had robbed so far, and hurried back to Mobei.With the current supply situation of the Qing army, it is impossible to support the army's long-distance pursuit.

This is the worst possible outcome, even worse than defeat.In the future, Galdan adapted to this attack mode and would frequently harass Ujimqin.The hearts of the people in Monan will be greatly shaken.

In order to keep Galdan in Monan, Kangxi made many efforts: he sent envoys to appease Galdan, sent his own letter, claiming that he had no intention of going to war, but came to negotiate and discuss a strike.At the same time, he issued a decree to Alani, asking him not to go to war easily, but to wait until all the troops have arrived, and then join forces to encircle and suppress the quasi-army.However, once the opponent shows signs of fleeing, then chase after him, be sure to bite the opponent, and wait for the large force to arrive.

However, all these careful arrangements fell through.

On the last day of June, Kangxi came to Ningshou Palace to bid farewell to the Queen Mother.All the princes, princesses, and concubines gathered here, no matter what their intentions were, they were all smiling, and repeatedly wished Kangxi a complete victory.

The banquet was not luxuriously prepared.The imperial concubine led the concubines and Haifeng to try their best to reduce expenses and support the expenses of the front line, and even cooked a few dishes with their own hands.

In this cheerful atmosphere, the relics of Alani's defeat were handed over to Kangxi.

The military newspaper on the front line cannot be delayed for a moment. This is a death order issued by Kangxi.Liang Jiugong knew that Tongchuan was too disappointing, but he dared to disobey the imperial decree, and he would be beheaded.

This was no ordinary defeat, Alani lost 2 people.all.

Only he and his deputy had to charge desperately to escape from the encirclement.The rest were all shot by Galdan's artillery and shotguns, and their flesh and blood were killed on the spot.

Kangxi's military advantage was only [-].

The army has not yet set off, but it has already lost a battle.

The saddest thing is that Alani, like Danzira, had no desire to go to war at first.

He was forced to fight a losing battle at the cost of 2 people being buried.
