Kowloon wins

Chapter 947 Pressing every step of the way ([-])

"The final general is willing to be the pioneer of the prince, and he will not regret it until he dies!"

Hong Qing's promise was not insignificant, upon hearing Yue Zhongqi's words, she couldn't sit still, got up hastily, knelt down on the ground, and expressed her position in a high voice.

"Dongmei doesn't have to be like this, please stand up and talk."

The reason why Hongqing was a little worried about Yue Zhongqi before was because before the battle of Junggar, although Yue Zhongqi had already shown her loyalty, her attitude was unavoidably a bit reluctant. There should be some sincerity, but how much is there? , but it is not easy to say, now that Yue Zhongqi has completely returned her heart, Hong Qing is in a good mood, but she didn't make any more promises, she just raised her hand in a very warm way cried out.

"My lord, the matter is urgent now, I ask you to make up your mind quickly, otherwise, you may be framed by villains."

Yue Zhongqi didn't get up, but kowtowed heavily, and remonstrated with an extremely solemn expression.

"Well, what is Dongmei going to do?"

Hong Qing nodded calmly, but instead of answering Yue Zhongqi's advice directly, she asked a question calmly, her words full of hints of school exams.

"Your Majesty, although our army is unmatched in elites, we are alone outside the Great Wall, and food and ammunition are difficult to follow up. It is a long way to go to the capital, and there are bound to be many accidents. Today, the Holy Majesty has decided to dismember our army, and there are still many follow-ups." If the prince does not obey the relevant edicts, he will lose his reputation for righteousness. If he obeys, the army will be dispersed, and the prince will return to Beijing alone, and things will be in danger. In the end, the general asked for orders to lead an army of [-] troops, pretending to be transferred to Sichuan, but in fact he rushed all the way to Longshan Pass, but if our army can enter Guanzhong, it will be no problem to go straight to the capital!"

Hearing Hong Qing's question, Yue Zhongqi dared not ignore it, but saw him take a deep breath to calm down his turbulent mood, and then spoke out the strategy he was planning in detail.

"As far as the war is concerned, the strategy of the East and the United States is indeed feasible. However, this king cannot do it. Because of the civil strife, the world is in turmoil, the country is in turmoil, and the people will suffer. This is definitely not what the king wants. .”

Hong Qing nodded approvingly, but she didn't agree with Yue Zhongqi's surprise attack strategy.

"The prince has the world in his heart, and he will admire it forever. However, only those who are virtuous can live in the world. The so-called long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Instead of sitting and watching the shameless villains messing around in the court, it is better to completely overturn it and start over. Today, the matter is urgent, the prince must not be merciful, the prince, please give me an order, the general is willing to die as the vanguard of the army!"

Hearing that Hong Qing did not agree to send troops, Yue Zhongqi couldn't help feeling a little anxious, and didn't care about any taboos, so she kowtowed heavily and begged hard.

"Don't worry, Dongmei. This day, it won't collapse. A group of children think they can do something, but they are just chickens and dogs. This king has never taken it to heart. Dongmei can just lead a good soldier with peace of mind. This king has already done so." Arrangements will definitely not let the thieves go as they wish, this is all that Dongmei will keep in mind, don’t let the wind leak, the army’s morale will be messed up, and the country may be in danger!”

Although she was very grateful for Yue Zhongqi's loyalty, Hong Qing didn't dare to tell the truth about all the arrangements, so she just bent down to help Yue Zhongqi up with a sincere expression on her face, and patiently exhorted her.

"Don't worry, my lord, the general will keep his mouth shut!"

Hearing Hong Qing's words reach such a point, Yue Zhongqi was still a little uneasy, but she dared not ask the bottom line, but respectfully made a promise.

"Well, I can trust Dongmei's words. The march has been hard these few days, so I should go and rest early."

The matter involved confidentiality, Hong Qing was unwilling to discuss it in depth, seeing that Yue Zhongqi's mind had calmed down, she didn't stay any longer, but smiled gently, and then sent Yue Zhongqi out, while he himself walked back to the window Frowning slightly, he looked at the already dark night sky...

On the fourth day of August in the third year of Chengde, Hongqing appointed Cheng Guiwu, the commander of the third army, to lead the remaining two divisions of the army to Chuanzhong to serve as the admiral of Sichuan. When the emperor's reply arrived, he led the army into Yumen Pass on the ninth day of August in the third year of Chengde. On August [-]th, the army arrived in Lanzhou. Jiao Ying, and sincerely invited Hongqing's army to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival in Lanzhou. Hongqing readily agreed, and ordered the army to station outside Lanzhou for three days.

On August [-]th of the third year of Chengde, the edict of Emperor Chengde arrived again, approving Hongqing's request, and issued a clear edict, appointing Cheng Guiwu as the admiral of Sichuan, and again proposed to divide the troops in Shandong, the reason was that the new army was training For this reason, most of the original Shandong Banner Camp and the Green Camp were withdrawn, and the local appeasement was worrying. Hong Qing was asked to transfer another [-] troops to Shandong, thinking that the original Shandong admiral was transferred to Beijing for another appointment. decide.

On August 26th of the third year of Chengde, Hongqing, according to the edict of Emperor Chengde, appointed Zhang Miao, the commander of the second army, to lead the first division of the army and the second cavalry division under Lu Yousheng to station in Shandong first. He served as the admiral of Shandong, and reported the matter to Emperor Chengde for approval. Then, he declined the repeated attempts of Meng Guangzu, governor of Shaanxi, to stay, and did not wait for Emperor Chengde's reply to arrive. He led his army across the Yellow River and spent three years in Chengde. Arrived in Xi'an on August [-], and had just set up camp when Emperor Chengde's imperial edict arrived again, saying that there was a rebellion in Hubei. He went to destroy them, and said that the terrain in Hubei is complex, and it is difficult to defeat the enemy without heavy artillery, so Hongqing transferred the artillery division to Hubei to participate in the war.

Perhaps it was annoyed by Emperor Chengde, or maybe it was aware of Emperor Chengde's bad intentions. In short, facing the order to dispatch troops again, Hongqing did not obey the order as the previous two times. Instead, he went to this chapter and clearly expressed his opposition. The reason is that the Shengmiao Rebellion is in the government and not in the army.

"Heda, how are your soldiers training, huh?"

On the first day of September in the third year of Chengde, Hongqing's playbook arrived at the capital. Emperor Chengde, who originally thought that Hongqing would follow the edict like the previous two times, was a little panicked. When they arrived at the memorial book, they hurriedly summoned Fang, Li, and Fengtai Admiral Heda to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. After seeing the ceremony, Emperor Chengde didn't even bother to exchange pleasantries, and asked a question with an extremely gloomy expression. .

"Returning to Your Majesty, our Fengtai Camp has already trained two armies of infantry, one army of cavalry, and one division of artillery. There are more than [-] troops in the whole army. They are well equipped and have considerable combat power."

In just one and a half years, he was able to build up an army of [-], no matter how you say it, it is something to be proud of. Heda is obviously quite proud of this, and answered Emperor Chengde's question In words, he seemed very proud.

"Well, that's very good. From Yier's point of view, how does this [-] army compare with the more than [-] in Xi'an?"

Hearing Heda's words, Emperor Chengde's gloomy face suddenly eased, and he nodded approvingly, but he did not comment on Heda's words, but asked a crucial question question.

"This……"

Hearing Emperor Chengde's question, Heda's smiling face froze involuntarily, hesitating and daring not to give a clear answer.

"Ok?"

Emperor Chengde waited for a while, seeing He Daguang faltering there, but he didn't say anything, and his face that had just eased down immediately turned a little uneasy again.

"So that His Majesty can know that our Fengtai Daying new army has just completed training and lacks actual combat experience. If we fight with the army of Xi'an in a majestic manner, although it will be safe to defend, it will be difficult to win."

Being stared at by Emperor Chengde, Heda shivered involuntarily, not daring to keep silent anymore, and hurriedly explained, but no matter how he heard these words, there was a hint of inadequacy.

"I ask you, if an army of [-] comes out in full strength, how much can it match the army of Xi'an, tell me!"

Emperor Chengde was obviously very dissatisfied with Heda's answer, but he didn't get angry at him, but asked with a slight frown.

"Returning to Your Majesty, if the Xi'an army had no artillery division, our Fengtai camp should be able to fight it head-on."

Being pressed by Emperor Chengde for so many questions, Heda didn't dare not answer even though his brow was full of sweat, and in desperation, he could only blushed and gave an obvious question. Moisture is the answer.

"Mr. Linggao and Zicheng, both of you should know about it. That bastard defies the order and refuses to divide the troops in Hubei. What should we do?"

After several times of questioning, Emperor Chengde already understood the fact that Hong Qing's troops were invincible, and he couldn't help feeling a little more annoyed in his heart, but he also knew that his own abilities were limited, so no matter how hard he thought about it, it was difficult to come up with an answer. In a safe way, he frowned slightly and threw the question to Fang and Li.

"Responding to His Majesty's words, I think this matter is not difficult, as long as the public opinion is well guided, I don't have to worry about Prince Ren not acting according to his will."

As soon as Emperor Chengde finished speaking, Li Minquan stepped out from the side with a big stride, and answered confidently.

"Oh? How do you say this?"

Emperor Chengde was worried, but when he heard Li Minquan speak so confidently, he immediately became interested, and asked questions immediately.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the so-called gentleman can bully him, like a benevolent prince, he has all the people in the world in his heart, and he will never sit back and watch the people die. If you dare to risk the displeasure of the world, your Majesty can forward the Hubei Zoubao to him, ordering the "Beijing Times" to publish the charcoal of the unborn seedlings, and even clearly stated that the imperial court will send a new army that has returned from a great victory to suppress it. , if so, Prince Ren will definitely submit."

Li Minquan is worthy of being a wise man who has been with Hong Qing for many years. He has a deep understanding of Hong Qing's personality and heart. After a few words, he has dug a big hole for Hong Qing.

"Well, okay, then it's settled!"

After a moment of contemplation, Emperor Chengde understood the mystery of this strategy. Long Yan was immediately overjoyed and didn't ask Fang Bao for his opinion. With a high five, he made the final decision...
