The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 692: Kangxi's Personal Expedition to Galdan

On the canopy.

He wore a red crown and a golden robe with nine dragons on it.

Kangxi looked around at his ministers with a sharp gaze.

Then he stood up steadily from the golden throne.

His voice was like a loud bell, and he said sternly:
"The Galdan rebels defeated the Qing army twice and are extremely arrogant!"

"As long as the rebels are not eliminated, I will be at peace!"

"I will personally lead the army to quell the rebellion this time."

"No one is allowed to dissuade me!"

……

[When the Treaty of Nerchinsk was signed, Outer Mongolia had already been occupied by Galdan Khan, the leader of the Dzungar tribe from Xinjiang.]

[For this reason, the border between China and Russia ends at Nerchinsk. West of Nerchinsk, the boundary between Outer Mongolia and Siberia is not discussed.]

[The Mongols living in Outer Mongolia at that time were divided into three tribes. ]

[To the east is the Chechen Khanate, to the west is the Jasaktu Khanate, and in the middle is the Tushetu Khanate. ]

[The khans of the three khanates were all descendants of Gelesen Zazalaierhun, the 16th grandson of Yuan Taizu, and were collectively called "Mobei Khalkha".]

[In the east of Rehe, there are also Khalkha tribes, divided into left and right wings.]

[The Mongols living in northern Xinjiang were divided into four Oirats during the Yuan Dynasty.]

[Zungar lived in the area of ​​today's Yili, Khoshut lived in the area of ​​Urumqi, Durbet lived in the area of ​​Chenghua, and Torghut lived in the area of ​​Yar near Tacheng.]

[Official documents of the Ming Dynasty called the Oirat "Wala". Official documents of the Qing Dynasty called the Oirat "Eleuth" or "Erut". ]

[Among the four Oirat tribes, Dzungaria is the strongest. ]

……

Tang Dezong Period
Li Shi looked towards the northwest with a worried brow.

"You said, if there was no An-Shi Rebellion."

"Can the Western Regions also be returned to the Central Plains like the Jiangnan region?"

Li Mi, with his long flowing beard, was silent for a moment, then said softly:

"Your Majesty, this assumption is meaningless."

“From the country of Wu and Yue to the land of fish and rice.”

"Jiangnan has been developed for thousands of years and has always been located in the heart of the Central Plains, so every little movement is heard and seen."

"And the Western Regions stretch for thousands of miles, connecting to many other countries..."

"If the people are not relocated and the land is not sealed, even if it is taken down, it will just be a pillar in the wall and will not last long."

Li Shi looked at the sky and stopped talking for a while.

"That's all."

"Let's first protect the heartland of the Central Plains, the Tang Dynasty."

……

[At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Dzungars forced the Torghut tribe to move to the Volga River basin in Russia.]

[During the reign of Emperor Kangxi, the Junggar tribe had another very capable leader, Galdan.]

[He annexed Khoshut and Dörburt, unified northern Xinjiang, and subjugated Islamic tribes such as Kashgar and Yarkand in southern Xinjiang.]

[In the 27th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, he took advantage of the internal strife between the Zasaktu Khanate and the Tushetu Khanate and led 30,000 cavalry to help the Zasaktu Khanate fight against the Tushetu Khanate.]

[He defeated the Tu tribe, occupied the Zha tribe, and invaded the Chechen Khanate.]

[Thus, he actually became a great overlord that spanned Outer Mongolia and Xinjiang, just like Nurhaci's rise in Liaodong.]

【Kangxi saw through this threat, and it happened that the three Khans of the "Mobei Khalkha" Khanate and their subjects collectively fled to the south of the desert, with a number of hundreds of thousands. Kangxi welcomed them and settled them in the various banners of the Sunite. 】

In May of the 1690th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign (), Galdan led troops and marched along the lower reaches of the Kerulen River, crossed the Urza River, and threatened to borrow troops from Russia to destroy the Khalkha together.

Kangxi immediately wrote to the Russian Tsar, questioning him: "Galdan threatened to join forces with you to jointly invade Khalkha. Khalkha has already surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. If you believe the rumors, it would be a violation of your oath and a resumption of war. I hope you will stop this action that may lead to disputes between the two countries as soon as possible."

[Because of the disastrous defeats in the previous two battles of Yaksa, the Tsar had to restrain himself after receiving Kangxi's warning and did not dare to send troops.]

……

Song Dynasty Xiaozong Period
Zhao Shen sighed with some envy:

"It's decided by a letter."

"It would be great if the Song Dynasty was that powerful."

By now, a storm of reflection had begun throughout the court.

The example of the Ming Dynasty really made the Southern Song Dynasty court, which had experienced great humiliation, begin to reflect on whether it was right to stick to the laws of its ancestors.

And the answer is clear.

Therefore, before Yue Fei went to the battlefield, he gave Yue Fei the title of Pingzhang Military and State Affairs, and gave him the power to execute first and report later. No one in the court objected.

Although it is also partly due to Yue Fei's loyalty, it is ultimately a good change.

"I hope... everything goes well."

Zhao Shen leaned against the railing holding the white jade in front of him.

Thinking of Yue Fei leading his troops out.

This time, no one will hold him back.

……

[But even without the Tsar's sponsorship, Galdan would never give up his military plan. ]

[In June, Galdan marched along the Gerge River and arrived at the banks of the Urhui River.]

[Alani, the Minister of the Court of Colonial Affairs, followed Galdan closely with his troops. Alani's mission was to monitor Galdan. Kangxi repeatedly told Alani not to confront Galdan head-on, but to wait until all the troops gathered before attacking from both sides.]

[However, Alani did not follow Kangxi's instructions and launched an attack on Galdan before the follow-up troops arrived.]

[Alani sent two hundred Mongolian warriors to attack the enemy's vanguard, and then sent five hundred Khalkha people to harass the enemy's escort of livestock and baggage.]

[But when these people saw the enemy's livestock and baggage, they rushed to grab them, and military discipline was in chaos.]

【Seeing the army in chaos, Alani ordered a withdrawal, but unfortunately the army was already in chaos and did not obey orders.】

【Galdan immediately divided his troops into two wings and deployed them to wait for the enemy.】

[Alani sent the Qing army to attack, and Galdan ordered his troops to fire their weapons. The Qing army was terrified and retreated repeatedly.]

【Then, Galdan divided his troops into two groups to attack the Qing army, and the Qing army was completely defeated. Alani's unauthorized participation in the battle made Kangxi very angry, so he removed his title of councilor and demoted him by four ranks.】

……

{The value of the money-throwing method is still increasing!}

{So, if we can properly handle the military discipline, we will have won 30% of the battle.}
{This strategy has been tried and tested, and it has been used since Cao Cao fought against Yuan Shao.}
{And in almost every dynasty, there have been people who have suffered losses from this.}
{There was no other way. At that time, those who joined the army were all poor. They just wanted to have enough food and money. Only those like Qi's army were a minority.}
{The only dynasties that were proud of their soldiers and generals were the Western Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty. The rest of the dynasties are not worth mentioning.}
……

Ji Han.

After discussing with Zhuge Liang for a while, Liu Bei decided to implement the training method of Qi's army.

"My Lord, have you thought about it?"

Zhuge Liang said with some worry:
"This is no small matter."

"The noble families will not just sit there and watch this kind of army to protect the country take shape."

Liu Bei did not shy away from the people in the hall and said bluntly:

"Why did the Song and Ming dynasties fear military generals? Only during the Five Dynasties did military generals act violently."

"They are soldiers in name only, but they are actually bandits!"

"If we can establish the belief that soldiers are loyal in the hearts of the people, why should we worry about the affairs of the Song and Ming dynasties?"

"How can the people of the world not be happy?"

"The troops are directed outward, not inward."

"What do the noble families have to fear?"

Liu Bei looked at everyone in the hall and said loudly:

"I will work with you all."

"Why can't we reproduce the era of Wen and Jing?"

Without mentioning anyone else, Cao and Sun's forces fell into silence.

"I now understand why Jiang Wei was so loyal even without meeting him in person."

Sun Quan drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.

"He really seems like a fool."

Cao Cao touched the wine cup and whispered:

"Yes, idiot...so Liu Chan is his biological son..."

"Benevolence and righteousness..."

Is there anyone who will really put benevolence and righteousness into action?

……

[In July, Galdan's army advanced deep into Ujumqin.]

[Kangxi ordered his elder brother Fuquan to be the General of Fuyuan and his son Yinzhi to be the Deputy General, and they set out from Gubeikou.]

[Heshuo Gong Prince Changning was appointed as the General of Anbei, Heshuo Jian Prince Yabu and Duoluoxin Prince Ezha were appointed as Deputy Generals, and they set out from Xifengkou. ]

[Kangxi himself led the central army to personally fight against Galdan.]

……

Datang.

Li Shimin looked at Kangxi who said the words "I will lead the army in person" and was touched. He said:

"Just looking at his military skills, the wars he commanded and experienced can be described as being able to plan and win battles thousands of miles away."

"But this battle still requires the emperor to lead the army in person."

"It can be seen that we should not be lax in military affairs."

“This is to use light as a mirror.”

Li Chengqian, who was standing by, looked at the memorial in his hand and said calmly:
"Don't test me, Aye."

"Even if I agree, it will be difficult for Minister Wei to get through."

"Even if it's okay with Minister Wei, it's not okay with the generals in the court."

"You should give them some room for advancement."

Li Shimin frowned, glanced at him, twirled his beard and said:
"What a mess."

"I just felt his talent. When did I ever say I would lead the army myself?"

"I never said that, don't talk nonsense."

Empress Changsun glanced over here with a smile and continued to embroider the handkerchief in her hand.

Li Chengqian continued to read the memorial without raising his head.

Li Shimin turned his head to look at the sky with a look of regret.

There is still room for improvement... room for improvement...

Li Shimin suddenly had an idea!
The war against Tubo was also a war of annihilation, right?

I have to find a way to hint to the pharmacist!
With such a great contribution, it is only reasonable for me to want to go out and take a look, right?
The corners of Li Shimin's mouth rose slightly.

Once you walk out the door, it’s no longer up to you!

……

Tang Xuanzong Period
Li Longji suddenly said shyly:

"You said I..."

Li Mi immediately interrupted the emperor.

"That's impossible, Your Majesty. Give up on this idea, Your Majesty."

"You don't have the talent of Taizong, Your Majesty."

"Just leave everything to the generals on the front line, Your Majesty."

Li Longji: ... "Tsk..."

"If you don't go, you won't go!"

"What's so great about the emperor leading the army in person?"

"Be careful or you might be captured alive!"

……

Ming dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang bit the big braised pork elbow in his hand fiercely!

"This little pockmarked face is really not an ordinary person!"

Queen Ma took a sip of Tremella soup and said softly:

"He seems to be a conservative ruler, but in fact he is half a founding emperor."

"If we can keep our original aspirations, there will be a prosperous era in the future."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and took another fierce bite of the pork elbow!

Traveling with Zhu Houcong in Liaodong and Japan made him starve to death.

……

Ming Dynasty Jiajing Period
Zhu Houcong sat on a stone pier with his horse and golden sword.

His eyebrows raised.

"Forget the Mobei grassland..."

"It seems that this will be a big worry in the future."

As for his limited future plans, Zhu Houcong decided to emulate half Zulong, half Gaozu, and half Taizong.

Conquer the world first! Plow the land of anyone who threatens the world!
Then he guarded the world and appointed vassal kings outside the country.

Finally, learn from Taizong and monitor all nations!
"Haha! Haha! Wowhahahaha!"

Zhu Houcong laughed loudly towards the sky!
As for the internal problems of the Ming Dynasty.

As long as the land is big enough, he believes there is no solution that cannot be solved!

If it can’t be solved, then the land is not big enough!
……

[In order to destroy Galdan in one fell swoop, Kangxi repeatedly sent envoys to Galdan, threatening to negotiate peace, but in fact it was to paralyze Galdan.]

【Galdan also sent people to the Qing army camp, repeatedly expressing his willingness to make peace with the Qing court and not to harm anyone.】

【At the same time, Galdan strongly demanded that the Qing government return Tushetu Khan and Jebtsun and others, claiming that as long as the Qing government did so, he would withdraw his troops immediately. 】

[At the end of July, Galdan's army penetrated deep into Ulan Butong, which was only 700 miles away from Beijing.]

……

On the canopy.

Thousands of camels lay prone on the ground.

On his back was a pile of boxes, covered with a wet felt blanket.

Soldiers dressed in Hu clothing hid behind box piles and shot arrows at the Qing army.

Separated by a river.

The Qing soldiers, who were lined up in battle formation, looked at each other in bewilderment as they watched the arrows flying in front of them become powerless.

Then, he took out a lighter and lit the fuse.

"boom!"

There were several gunshots.

Camel City was bombed to pieces.

The Qing army's cavalry and infantry attacked at the same time and broke through all the enemy's camps.

……

Great Song.

Zhao Kuangyin didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Going deep into the hinterland, it is clear that Galdan does not take Kangxi seriously at all."

"I thought there was something to rely on."

"And finally, the bodies of animals are used to resist cannons?"

I feel impressed by the other party's inexplicable bravery.

Zhao Kuangyin once again focused on the gap between the two sides.

"The weapons and equipment are advanced..."

……

[The Qing court's General Fuquan arrived and frantically bombarded the opposite Tuocheng with artillery fire from the afternoon until the evening, but the Qing army also paid a heavy price. Kangxi's uncle Tong Guogang was shot and killed in this battle.]

[At night, Galdan's envoy Jilong brought more than 70 people to negotiate peace and tried his best to exonerate Galdan. Galdan also sent someone to deliver a personal letter, saying: "Now that I have received the emperor's goodwill, I will not dare to offend Khalkha again."]

[Kangxi was not present at the time, and Fuquan acted on his own initiative, released Galdan, and told other troops not to stop Galdan.]

【Galdan escaped successfully.】

……

{Fuquan, is he Fulkang's father?}
{You fucking... just crash the system...}
{Fuquan’s surname is Aixinjueluo, and Fuerkang’s prototype surname is Fucha…you’re better off holding your tongue…}
{To be honest, Fuquan’s actions were completely justified, and in the end he was only fined three years’ salary… No wonder he was recorded as a man of three generations of kindness…}
{That's right...there's no harm without comparison, right?}
……

Ming dynasty.

"Humph……"

Zhu Yuanzhang hummed unhappily:

"Tolerance doesn't mean to be lenient."

Of course... being strict doesn't mean being stern...

Besides, just because I reflect on myself doesn’t mean I agree that what the Qing emperor did was reasonable, right?

I am wrong ≠ you are right!
……

[In terms of escaping, Galdan also showed bravery that was no less than that on the battlefield. ]

[He crossed the Shilamuleng River secretly overnight, crossed the Daqi Mountain, and fled all the way to Kobdo.]

[Although they escaped from danger, Galdan's troops also suffered heavy losses, with only a few thousand wounded soldiers left.]

[The man had already escaped. Kangxi, in line with the principle of not pursuing an enemy who has surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, issued a final warning to Galdan: "In the future, you are not allowed to harm any person or animal of the Khalkha who has surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. If you violate your oath, I will pursue you to the end and capture you completely."]

……

Cao Wei.

Cao Cao subconsciously said:

"He's still quite stubborn. He was beaten into submission but he still said that the emperor was showing goodwill. What do you think of him..."

A breeze blew past the stone table.

Cao Cao looked at the three empty seats and stopped talking for a moment.

……

[In October, Fuquan withdrew his troops to Hamar Ridge. Kangxi was furious and simply issued an imperial decree to withdraw the troops completely.]

[When Fuquan returned to Beijing, Kangxi dismissed him from his post as "minister of state affairs", fined him three years' salary, and deprived him of three assistants (nine hundred hereditary servants and their farmland, cattle and sheep).]

In May of the 1691th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign (), Emperor Kangxi held a meeting of the Mongolian tribes in Duolun and organized the Mongolian tribes in the northern desert into banners, which were treated the same as the banners of Inner Mongolia. Each banner had a hereditary "Zasak"

In the 1693nd year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi (), Emperor Kangxi was about to send troops to escort the Khalkha tribes in the northern desert back to their original places, but he received a memorial from the Khorchin tribe saying that Galdan had asked them to invade the south together. Emperor Kangxi therefore stopped sending the Khalkha tribes back and prepared to fight Galdan again.

……

On the canopy.

Three armies set out from Beijing.

Middle Road "Kangxi"

East Road "Sabusu"

West Road "Fei Yanggu"

The three-way encirclement of Galdan in Outer Mongolia

……

[In March of the 1696th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign (), he issued an order to lead the army in person again, and personally led the central army to cross the border from Dushikou, northeast of Zhangjiakou.]

[Send Sabusu to lead the Eastern Route Army, command the troops of Shengjing and Jilin, join the Horqin banners, and attack from the east of Outer Mongolia.]

[Fei Yanggu was also sent to lead the Western Route Army, with the Green Camp in Shaanxi and Gansu as the core force, to attack from the west of Outer Mongolia.]

[Kangxi's central army marched straight to the bank of the Kerulen River. Galdan was on the other side of the river at that time and did not dare to engage him, so he withdrew his troops westward.]

……

{He was forty-two years old this year.}
{According to Kangxi's own later recollections: "The last time I went to fight Galdan, everyone tried to dissuade me, only Fei Yanggu supported me. In the two subsequent campaigns, no one agreed with me, it was me who insisted on doing so."}
{But it turns out that he really has to supervise it himself.}
{There is a record that when you are on an expedition to the desert, you can bring your own food and fodder, but you can't bring that much fresh water, so finding a water source is the most important step.}
{At that time, the drinking water problem was mainly solved by digging wells. This matter was in the charge of Sigesese, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He was responsible for digging wells. After digging a well, he came back to report to Emperor Kangxi.}
{Kangxi asked him: "How many people and horses can be provided with drinking water by one well?"}
{Sigesese was unable to answer, so Kangxi scolded him for being a stupid official, dismissed him from his post and demoted him to a common soldier.}
{Later, Kangxi sent Deputy Governor Adi to inspect the water and grass conditions. Adi replied: "Now the ice and snow are frozen, it is not easy to dig."}
{Kangxi was so angry that he said: "The key to using troops is speed. When the army is on the march, it must not be short of water. It is spring now and the ground veins should be thawing. Even frozen ground can be broken."}
{After Kangxi's order was issued, several wells were dug soon after. After the underground ice was broken, clear springs gushed out, and the whole army was jubilant.}
{In order to facilitate drinking water, Kangxi ordered the army to camp around the well so that the soldiers could drink water from different directions without causing crowding.}
{At the same time, Kangxi had soldiers guard each well to ensure the safety of water.}
{In fact, the Central Army was slowly approaching Galdan's base, but the Western Army had not yet arrived.}
{When the Western Army took a long time to arrive, the ministers began to discuss the matter. Some said that the Central Army should hold back and wait for the Western Army to arrive. Others said that there was no need to wait for the Western Army and that they should attack immediately to prevent Galdan from escaping.}
{Then Kangxi came up with a plan to let Galdan, who did not believe that the emperor would come in person, know that he was coming.}
{In the end, just as Kangxi had expected, Galdan and his troops broke camp and fled.}
{Kangxi devised this plan because he was not sure of a complete victory. He needed Galdan to flee and cause chaos in his formation.}
……

Period of Emperor Guangwu of Yanhan Dynasty

"The most frightening thing in the world is the word 'seriousness'."

Liu Xiu looked at Kangxi's detailed instructions, and he also had to control the overall war situation, thinking back to the days when he led troops to fight.

"From the tip of the iceberg, it seems that Kangxi doesn't trust these imperial guards."

Liu Zhuang nodded and said yes:

"From this perspective, there is really no general available."

"If the emperor had not come in person and understood some military matters, we would have made the same mistake as Sarhu."

……

Qing Dynasty, Kangxi Period
"Among the emperors, how many have personally led an army like me, crossing deserts, mountains, and grasslands?"

Kangxi put his hands behind his back, his tone was somewhat proud, but then he changed the subject and became a little stern.

"Fortunately, I am here in person...Tong Guowei, Suo'etu, Yisan'a and others retreated when they were in trouble."

"Cowardice is the greatest shamelessness, and giving up halfway is the most useless behavior in the world."

"Galdan ran away, just like letting the Western Route Army face it all alone!"

"One by one, don't you know about Wanli?!"

Yinreng asked curiously:

"Khan Ama, aren't you afraid that Galdan will find out your location and lead his troops to attack you?"

Kangxi snorted and said:
"Galdan was just a bandit before, and he never had any foresight."

"He listened to others and thought that our army could not reach there, so he dared to invade Khalkha."

"But if they knew I was coming in person, they would flee."

"This person is a rat."

……

[Galdan retreated to the Zhaomoduo area of ​​the middle banner of the Tushetu Khanate, and met Fei Yanggu and his Green Camp soldiers.]

[The three generals of the Green Camp are Liangzhou General Dong Dacheng, Suzhou General Pan Yulong and Ningxia General Yin Huaxing.]

[Yin Huaxing's 3,000 men occupied a mountain in Zhaomoduo, waiting for Galdan's 10,000-plus troops to arrive, and then they bombarded the area from a high position with artillery.]

[At the same time, Fei Yanggu mobilized Dong and Pan's troops to disrupt the baggage of Galdan's rear guard.]

【Then, Yin Huaxing "marched down with drums beating", and defeated Galdan so badly that he fled. Galdan's "Khadun" (queen) Anu died in the battle.】

[Galdan wanted to return to Xinjiang, but on the way he heard that his enemy, his nephew Tsewang Arabtan, had accepted Kangxi's mission and returned to Yili.]

[Galdan sent his sons, Sebuten and Baljur, to Hami. The two sons were tied up by the Hui king of Hami and sent to the Qing army stationed in Suzhou.]

[Galdan was trapped in the eastern foothills of the Altai Mountains, and with no way out, he took poison and committed suicide in the 36th year of Emperor Kangxi’s reign.]

[In February of the 37th year of Kangxi's reign, Kangxi personally led his third expedition and stayed in Yulin.]

[Galdan's subordinates sent his body, his daughter Zhong Qihai, and the remaining 300 households to Sachirbalhasun, where Feiyanggu was stationed.]

【Kangxi was relieved and ordered the army to return.】

[Hundreds of thousands of people from Khalkha in the northern desert were sent back to their original places.]
