Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

In the Chengqian Palace of the Forbidden City in Beijing, the master of the Qing Empire, Emperor Shunzhi, was reading. It was not a collection of classics, history books, or military books, but Biographies of Women and Admonitions for Women. It is not accurate to say that he was reading, but he was actually flipping through the pages, carefully flipping through them page by page.

"Your Majesty, are you missing your sister again?" Concubine Zhen gently poured him a cup of tea. This Dong E was the cousin of Dong E, who was posthumously named "Empress Xiaoxian Zhuanghe Zhide Xuanren Wenhui Duanjing". After Empress Xiaoxian died, Emperor Shunzhi treated her very well and often went to Chengqian Palace to chat with her and relieve his worries. In another time and space, this Concubine Zhen committed suicide after Emperor Shunzhi died. However, in this time and space, Emperor Shunzhi was too busy with the war between Qing and Wei to leave the palace to go to Minzhong Temple, so he did not get smallpox and is still alive and well. Naturally, there is no need to commit suicide. As the cousin of Empress Xiaoxian, she naturally knew that Empress Xiaoxian loved to read "Biographies of Women" and "Female Admonitions" during her lifetime, and could recite them by heart.

"Alas! After your sister left, I often felt that life was boring. Only Buddhism can help me forget the pain. Zen Master Dajue advised me to become a monk, but now the Western Barbarians are wreaking havoc. I cannot ignore the foundation established by my ancestors. This matter can only be put on hold temporarily," Emperor Shunzhi sighed.

"Your Majesty is concerned about the people of the world, so you must not think of becoming a monk. If your sister were still alive, she would definitely not want you to become a monk for her," Concubine Zhen hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

"You are as kind-hearted as she is, and you know how to feel sorry for me." Emperor Shunzhi's eyes turned red and he almost cried.

"Khan Ama~Khan Ama~" With a few crisp shouts, the nine-year-old Aixinjuelu Fuquan ran over and knelt down to salute his father. This prince is the second son of Emperor Shunzhi and the oldest among the existing princes. Emperor Shunzhi did not have many children. The eldest son Niu Niu and the fourth son Rong (born to Empress Xiaoxian Dong'e) died young. The mothers of the remaining six princes, the second son Fuquan, the third son Xuanye, the fifth son Changning, the sixth son Qishou, the seventh son Longxi, and the eighth son Yonggan, were not of high status. They were all concubines without a name. The amorous emperor favored Empress Xiaoxian alone, and had children with these women only for the continuation of the imperial throne. How could he give their mothers the title of concubine? However, Fuquan's mother, Xian'an Palace concubine Dong'e, was a cousin of Empress Xiaoxian and Concubine Zhen, and was treated differently and had a higher status than other concubines.

Concubine Dong E was the great-granddaughter of He Heli, one of the five founding ministers of the Qing Dynasty. She was born in a famous family and was very cunning. She knew that after Empress Xiaoxian passed away, the emperor liked to talk to Concubine Zhen the most, so she often visited Concubine Zhen. They were all from the Dong E clan, and Concubine Zhen had no children, so she treated Fuquan as her own son and often took him to her palace to play. Today, he happened to meet Emperor Shunzhi.

"Stand up," the etiquette cannot be abolished. After receiving his son's greeting, Emperor Shunzhi asked the little guy to stand up. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind and he asked, "Fuquan, what is your wish?"

When this was said, everyone present was shocked. It was no small matter for the emperor to ask the prince about his ambitions, which often implied the intention of passing on the throne. In fact, Emperor Shunzhi asked this question to see if Fuquan had the ambition to be emperor. If he did, he would train him with all his strength, and if not, he would continue to observe. He loved Empress Xiaoxian very much, so he wanted to make Fuquan, the son of Concubine Dong'e, who was of the same clan as Empress Xiaoxian, the crown prince.

"Khan Father, I wish to be a wise king," Fuquan answered in a baby voice, squinting one eye. This prince was good in every way except that he was born with a disabled eye, which made him look a little inferior.

"Oh~" Emperor Shunzhi sighed. Fuquan was so smart at such a young age. She knew to be careful with her words and avoid disaster. Her mother taught her well! If she was not born blind in one eye and lacked some dignity in her image, the court officials would oppose her becoming the emperor. I really want to make her the crown prince immediately!

However, the emperor had deep feelings for Empress Xiaoxian, and Fuquan's humility did not change his mind about making Fuquan the crown prince. In another time and space, if the ministers had not opposed it on the grounds that Fuquan was born with a disability and did not have the dignity of an emperor, and if Xuanye had not had smallpox and was immune to it for life, it would have been a mystery whether Emperor Kangxi could succeed to the throne.

"Your Majesty, Tuba Seleng, the Beile of Doroduleng, has sent an urgent message of eight hundred miles." While testing his son, the eunuch presented Tuba Seleng's memorial. "Eight hundred miles in an urgent message? Did the Wei army attack the Kharchin tribe?" Emperor Shunzhi was shocked when he heard this and opened the memorial to read it. It turned out that the pseudo-Khan had released the captured Maoxiu, the son of the first-class Tabunang'erlinchen, and asked him to persuade the Kharchin tribe to surrender. Fortunately, the Kharchin taijis Doroduleng Beile Tuba Seleng, Zhenguogong Qilat, and the first-class Tabunang'erlinchen all understood the righteousness of the matter. Not only did they refuse to surrender to the Wei, they also persuaded Maoxiu to report their plans to defend the country to the court. However, the pseudo-Khan told Maoxiu that he planned to implement the strategy of besieging Wei to save Zhao, send troops to attack Shanhaiguan to lift the siege of Datong, and let the Kharchin tribe feint to attack Zunhua to contain the Jizhen garrison. Is this credible?"

Emperor Shunzhi began to doubt the character of the Great Khan Lianhua, and felt that he was not a truth-teller. After much deliberation, he summoned important officials such as Fu Shou, Suo Ni, Ebilun, Fan Wencheng, Feng Quan, and Eshehei to discuss the matter. One person's plan is short, but the plan of many is long. To deal with cunning people, it is best to consult with more people.

"The fake Khan has always been treacherous. He said he wanted to attack Shanhaiguan, but I'm afraid he may not do so," the young Fu Shou was the first to speak.

"There is a fierce battle in Datong right now. Xuanfu is close to Datong and is heavily trooped there. If the Wei army wants to attack, the most likely option is to come from Jizhou or Shanhaiguan. If the pseudo-Khan wants to attack Jizhou, wouldn't it be a way to alert the enemy by letting the Kharchin tribe make a feint attack on Zunhua? So I think it's probably true that he wants to attack Shanhaiguan," Sony expressed a different opinion.

"I also think that there is a high possibility that the Wei army will attack Shanhaiguan. A few days ago, my brother Feng Duo wrote to me saying that although the pseudo-King of Chu and the King of Jin have temporarily stopped their offensive on Shanhaiguan, they have been stationing troops and storing food during this period, and a war may break out again at any time," said Feng Quan, who is in his old age.

"I second the motion," Ebilun and Eshehei both agreed with Sony and Feng Quan's views.

"What do you think, Mr. Fan?" Emperor Shunzhi asked Fan Wencheng. He knew that Mr. Fan was resourceful and had made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty. It would probably not be wrong to ask for his opinion.

"Your Majesty, I think the pseudo-Khan is actually making two preparations by persuading the Kharachin tribe to surrender. If the Kharachin tribe is willing to surrender, then we will attack Jizhou; if the Kharachin tribe is unwilling to surrender, then we will attack Shanhaiguan. This beast has great ambitions, and he will definitely not be satisfied with just the city of Datong. He said that attacking Shanhaiguan is just to lift the siege of Datong, but I am afraid it is far more than that," Fan Wencheng analyzed after thinking for a while.

"Are you saying that the pseudo-Khan wanted to attack Shanhaiguan not as a feint to relieve the siege of Datong, but really wanted to capture Shanhaiguan and then attack Beijing directly from Shanhaiguan?" Emperor Shunzhi paused.

"That's right. With the fake Khan's cunning, how could he tell his true intentions to a surrendered prisoner? I think it would be fine if he didn't send troops to Shanhaiguan, but if he did, he would definitely send out all his forces," Fan Wencheng emphasized.

Emperor Shunzhi heaved a sigh of relief, then shouted angrily with a sullen face: "Pass on my order. The garrisons along the Great Wall should deploy more scouts to find out the movements of the guards as soon as possible. Doni should seize Datong and return to the capital as soon as possible. All provinces should complete the army expansion quota stipulated by the court before the end of the year, and those who delay will be severely punished. All Manchu, Mongolian and Han Eight Banners children aged 13 to 70 should be recruited to join the army." (End of this chapter)
