Chapter 115
Yinreng suddenly realized: "I understand!"
Nalan Xingde paused for a moment, and a strange doubt arose in his heart. He couldn't help but ask, "What does Your Highness know."
"I know how to let Mingxiang help Gu do things!" Yinreng said for granted: "Of course he is willing to do things."
Are you willing? I am afraid that as long as the crown prince gives the order, the father will not be willing to do any work!
But even if the emperor issued an order, his father was reluctant. He was not a prince's relative like Soetu, and even had a disagreement with Soetu. When he heard that it was the matter initiated by His Royal Highness, he might find an excuse to avoid it.
Nalan Xingde couldn't figure it out, he couldn't guess what kind of solution the young prince, who had always been lively and intelligent, would come up with.
Yinreng said: "Supporting the Buryat Mongolians is beneficial to the Qing Dynasty. If the Buryats who were enslaved by the Northern Barbarians can be rescued and they can surrender to the Qing Dynasty and become border people, they can cooperate inside and outside and attack the territory between Lake Baikal and Yaxa."
"Your Highness, the territory is vast, and the Northern Barbarians have been operating there for a long time, forcing the locals to surrender and set up multiple strongholds. The cunning rabbit has three holes. If you want to attack them, the Qing Dynasty has to cross the river and the front line will be too long, which will be a huge war of attrition. Compared with the Northern Barbarians, the Qing army's army is really insufficient to resist cold."
Nalan Xingde was surprised that the little prince had already understood the situation on the border to such an extent, but as an envoy sent to inspect the situation on the border, he had spent several months understanding all aspects of the situation here.
"In the territory, the local people are the most suitable for living in this place. Whether it is the original army of the Qing Dynasty or the Northern Barbarians, they are all outsiders of this land. The local people are just afraid of being beaten and used to being enslaved. Buryat is the best breakthrough. Their people are unwilling to obey and flee all the way to Longxingjiang City, becoming one of the newly moved nations in Longxingjiang City."
"Since the late emperor's reign, the Northern Barbarians had already begun to invade here. The local subjects living in Longxingjiang City were rewarded by the Qing Dynasty and ruled, and they organized flags to fight against invasion, including the migrant Buryats."
"Besides, because of the war, people on the border migrated southward on a large scale, but the number of people in the border areas was getting smaller and smaller, which was also a hidden danger. The city of Jaquessa was attacked because of the weak garrison at that time."
"The border garrison and management matters, Khan Ama has already arranged the Eastern Tour this time," Yinreng still remembers Kangxi's release of the government orders to this day. In order to let him study hard, Khan Ama always carries him whenever he discusses politics and takes him with him when he reads memorials.
"About what you said, Khan Ama has taken measures. Considering that there is only Ningguta, a military-oriented area on the border, Khan Ama ordered the general to settle down and build a city. If the city wall is successfully built and the logistics is integrated with Longxingjiang City, then the border area can become a new one, and the northernmost military-oriented area. After that, other military-oriented areas were also arranged, such as Morgan, Bukhat, Bukui City, etc.."
Once the border army needs to build urban defenses in important areas, it will be no problem to defend the border.
"What Gu wants to say is that during wartime, the Qing army needs logistics supplies, so the enemy also needs it. The Northern Barbarians are not gods, and they also need to eat and drink. Fighting in cold weather, they eat more than the people. If they can win over tribes that disobey the Northern Barbarians and cooperate with the Qing army, they can quietly go around the enemy's rear, cut off reinforcements and supplies, and damage their granaries. Of course, Gu is not a general after all, and what he sees and hears is not as far-reaching as the adults' thinking. When they come to Rong Ruo at this time, they also want to ask you whether this matter is feasible. If they do it, is it beneficial to the war, can it cause smaller losses to the Qing Dynasty and greater losses to the enemy, and can it push the front line forward and drive the enemy out of the invading place."
Nalan Xingde listened very seriously. When a young man of twenty-seven years old was eager to make achievements, he was a celebrity in front of Kangxi, and his friendship with the emperor was also a "young monarch and minister" (1). He had ambitions and passion in his heart. When talking about border wars, a fire burned in his heart.
He was born in a noble family and had no interest in glory, wealth, fame and fortune, but that was that he was not interested in things outside of him, and the interests of the country were a high spiritual sublimation!
Now Yinreng doesn't talk about power and wealth with him, but only talks about national affairs. He looks serious, and Nalan Xingde becomes serious.
"Let's regain lost land, tell me, the old ministers will analyze a lot of reasons to persuade Khan Ama. There are also ministers in the court who say, "It's better to abandon it and migrate to the city wall and strengthen the city defense." Is this the Lonely will not listen to these, since the Qing Dynasty has the strength to fight, why not fight? Do you think these old ministers are right? Of course, it makes sense, but there are so many concerns and no motivation at all. They misunderstood Khan Ama, Khan Ama is not a successful ruler who is content with the status quo. If there is any opening
He would not let go of the possibility of expanding his territory, but was just being dragged down by internal and external troubles of the Qing Dynasty. Anyway, the child is willful, and no one takes the words he says seriously. Anyway, the Lonely did not want to see the slightest territories of their own territory being plundered by others. From Jakarta to Nebchu, and then to the shore of Lake Baikal, there were originally all under the Qing Dynasty. Why should I give it to others? I didn’t have any hands to deal with them before and act as clay men for others. Now I can have the means to fight back and I have to beat them back."
Yinreng strongly advocated the war: "That large area where the old ministers called "bitter cold" and "bad" land is rich in minerals and the energy inside is related to the interests of our descendants for more than a hundred years. How can we give up just by giving up? Don't ask me how I know, I just know this anyway."
Nalan Xingde laughed in silence: "Your Highness, I am also the one who is in charge of war."
As for the representative figure of the peace faction, it is Soetu, your third grandfather!
Nalan Xingde could not say that Soetu was not good in front of Yinreng. He also told Yinreng tactfully: "If your highness wants to be the leader of the battle, why not ask if Suo Xiang can help you?"
Yinreng whispered: "Khan Ama insisted on snatching the man from the orphan. What can I do? Orphan is helpless."
Nalan Xingde pondered: "Actually, if Your Highness informs the emperor about this matter, he only needs the emperor to give orders, and he may be able to send his father to do things."
Just like the misunderstanding that raising goose last time, for the sake of the eldest prince, my father "compromising" and was praised by the people among the people, but my father himself felt that he was "bearing humiliation and burdening".
When Nalan Xingde mentioned the reputation of the goose, he couldn't help but want to curl his lips and smile. This was so happy. Although his father lost his life, he suddenly became famous among the people. He made friends with common people in Jiangnan (2), respected their talents, and was willing to support them. Many of them were poor and passed the imperial examination with his support. Friends had a harmonious relationship with him. When the pearl geese method was raised, he was grateful to his father from the bottom of his heart.
Only his father complained to him, saying that the eldest prince was attracted by the prince and that he was also deceived by the prince.
Nalan Xingde is an upright person and has his own set of judgment standards. He tactfully comforted Nalan Mingzhu about his old father's complaints: "My father has a good reputation among the people, and it is also good for the family." He once served with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a period of time. Such a beautiful young prince is not the kind of person who can deceive people and use conspiracy methods. On the contrary, he does everything openly.
Nalan Mingzhu stopped talking, and she never turned over the matter, so she could only pinch her nose and admit it.
At this moment, the upright young man did not realize that he was "harming" his father. He followed Yinreng's thoughts seriously and thought about the major national affairs. Finally, he said to Yinreng: "Indeed, my father is good at strategic planning. If he wants to win over people, it is very appropriate to send him. If this matter can be accomplished, as Your Highness said, it will be a great help to border wars."
In this way, my father can still make contributions. With his father's status in the court, he may only be rewarded with less, but he can earn a good future for his younger brothers. This wave is not a loss. It is beneficial to state affairs and family affairs, so Nalan Xingde immediately looked up to Yinreng.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is in mind the entire Qing Dynasty, and the ministers admire it." He pretends to be the country and emphasizes national interests rather than private interests. This pattern is different. Even if he is just a half-year-old child in front of him, from his current starting point, Nalan Xingde can see that his future life is grand.
Not sticking to small struggles, not appointing people based on their status as ministers and personal likes and dislikes, this already possesses the qualities of a wise ruler.
etc……
It seems that His Highness the Crown Prince said that he likes his father.
Nalan Xingde's mind was stuck and suddenly woke up from the state of overthinking and thinking just now. When he looked at Yinreng again, he saw His Royal Highness looking at him with anticipation: "Gu promised Khan Ama not to do big things. Gu Yan can't interfere in the national war. Rong Ruo may have to work Gu to report to Khan Ama? Besides, Gu is still young and no one listens to what he says, and they don't take Gu seriously."
Yinreng said he was a little pitiful, although the fundamental reason for showing weakness was Kangxi's warning, he was afraid that he would be taught a lesson by Khan Ama in four days.
Konalan Xingde doesn’t know!
He thought about His Highness the age of His Royal Highness, and then he thought of Soetu being transferred from His Royal Highness, and who is around His Royal Highness now?
His father, and Tong Guowei!
Neither of these two people is the one who can be sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and which one does not have a conflict of interest with Soetu?
Just think carefully and you can feel your highness’s “hard work”. Whether the emperor’s arrangement is intentional or unintentional is really thought-provoking.
Nalan Xingde Wuyi is a person with rich emotions and delicate thoughts. At this moment, he thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still eager to do something for border wars in a difficult situation. This intention moved him, and his thoughts were even stronger.
"I did come here to inspect the border situation for the emperor, but to report such a major event, it can only attract the attention of the emperor, but not the other court officials," Nalan Xingde said very bluntly. Although he was young and talented, he had face in front of the emperor, but he did not have enough qualifications in the court and spoke too lightly.
"However, I can recommend someone to you, or I can find this person for you, and ask him to report to the emperor on your behalf."
Yinreng asked curiously: "Who are you looking for?"
"I once served as the emperor's imperial military advisor and used a surprising plan to quell the rebellion for him, Duke Pei of Zhou."
"Mr. Zhou, he has always been eager to be valued by the emperor again, but he is unable to perform his fists and feet because he has no war. Even the position of Shengjing Admiral was unexpectedly on him because his previous post died in office."
"Yes, but can Rong Ruo not tell others what Gu said in childhood?" Yinreng said embarrassedly: "Stop Khan Ama being unhappy then."
If you are unhappy, you either beat the child or separate your brother and grandpa from him. You will be the Queen Mother who has broken up the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. It's so bad.
Nalan Xingde: His Royal Highness is sensitive and delicate. He can care about the emperor's feelings at a young age. It is really distressing to be careful at this point. It is said that the father and son of the Tian family are the heroic rulers with great ambitions. The prince is not old enough to manage the government, so he cannot be too active.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will not let you down. Leave this matter to me to persuade Lord Zhou to report to Emperor Ming. If Lord Zhou recommends his father to do it, Your Highness has nothing to do with this matter."

About Nalan Xingde Baidu Encyclopedia
The word "Chang Xiangsi": "A journey of mountains and water" is the farewell sent by relatives; "Ride to Yuguan" is the heroic love of "Traveling thousands of miles to the military, and the mountains are flying"; "Late at night, thousands of tents" gives birth to the strong feelings of "The lonely smoke in the desert is straight, and the sun sets in the long river is round". The triple jump of this emotion not only reflects the poet's deep attachment to his hometown, but also reflects his ambition to make achievements. He is in his twenties.
The young man, in his prime, was born in a wealthy family of scholars and had the superior status of an emperor's personal bodyguard, naturally had a broad vision, extraordinary insights, and ambition to make achievements would be stronger than others. But it was precisely because of this special identity that he formed his restrained and introverted personality. He had something to say, so he had to use the technique of affection for his children to reflect his complex inner world in a tortuous and obscure way. This is also an important reason for his premature death.
