Chapter 236

Yinreng smiled slightly stiffly and said with a stern apology: "It is not easy for adults to work harder. After the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Propaganda Department subdivided it, Khan Ama may be able to promote other talented ministers to take office, so that the adults will not take several positions alone."

"There is also the Minister of the Ministry of Culture, Sa Hai," Nalan Xingde said: "Wei Minister and Lord Sa Hai are in charge of some of the propaganda respectively. If there are others who can be responsible for this matter, that would be great."

Looking at Nalan Xingde with anger, Yinreng's palms burst into cold sweat. He looked back at him with a timid look. His little eyes made Nalan Xingde angry, helpless and funny.

Is he staring at him alone, isn’t it because he has too few people?

This is the disadvantage of the prince not accepting the emperor's connections. Before he cultivates his own personnel, he may be in such a state of being unable to find someone to do things.

Nalan Xingde told the emperor and asked for instructions: "I agree with your highness that propaganda is extremely important. If I continue to be shouldered by the minister, I will overstep my post. I also ask the emperor to order talented people to serve as the Minister of the Propaganda Department."

Kangxi said slowly: "The publicity is not enough to be a single department, and it should be under the Ministry of Culture. This matter will be handed over to the commander of Sa Hai from then on."

When Nalan Xingde heard this job, he immediately relaxed his eyebrows and bowed to thank the emperor.

He looked up and immediately saw Nalan Mingzhu's disagreement gaze, as if saying: Is it stupid to give away the authority I have obtained for free?

Without manpower, Mingzhu has many gangs. Any time Nalan Xingdeken asks Mingzhu for someone, he will not have the current dilemma.

Nalan Xingde turned his head and turned his eyes away from looking at him.

After that, at the court meeting, the prince mentioned the suspicion of the border between the northern part of the Qing Dynasty, and even thought about how to win more bargaining chips and benefits for the Qing Dynasty when signing border clauses in the future.

"Only by placing the borders of countries with documents and signing a treaty between the two countries, a brief peace can be ushered in between the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia in the future, and Khan Ama can free up his hands to deal with the increasingly powerful Junggar Khanate."

"My son wants to hand over the national conditions of Tsarist Russia through Western missionaries. Now, from the French missionaries, he learned that Princess Sophia and the emperor Peter are fighting for power in their country. If the Qing Dynasty could take advantage of the opportunity of civil strife and forcefully order him to sign an alliance, he might take more land back to the country."

When the prince talked about the current international situation, he was able to do it at will. From the war of feud between Tsarist Russia and the Ottoman Empire to the rich minerals that were abundant on the Qing Dynasty, all of them tried to convince the court officials that "the large tracts of land on the northern border must not fall into the hands of the enemy."

"If so much land worth developing is lost, how will future generations view us? It is a foolish act to cede land to other countries. The Qing Dynasty claims to be a great country, so how can it give in to this matter? Wouldn't it make people think that the Qing Dynasty is a clay man and can control it at will?"

The courtiers were silent, and many people had little understanding of the current foreign situation. It was not until the prince explained it to them that they suddenly realized it.

With all this, let alone Yinreng, even Kangxi frowned when he saw this.

A sense of crisis lingers in my heart. The Qing Dynasty had too shallowly understand the outside world. It sent envoys to foreign countries not only to establish contact with other countries, but also to collect information and send it back to the country.

Science has become an important subject that affects the younger generation of scholars, and the prosperity of external learning is unstoppable!

The court officials became more and more curious about the situation of foreign scholars. For example, Zhang Shizhen and others heard about the international situation for the first time, they all listed them to ask about the specific situation.

The emperor looked at the prince who was fighting against the ministers in the court. He was shining! He was like a small sun, shining brightly.

Unfortunately, before he could say a few words, the prince kept asking for help from the court officials.

Kangxi regretted: My prince is so outstanding. If he could be more mature, if he could be weaned immediately, how good would it be to be alone like Baoqing?

On the other hand, the sky in Longxingjiang City has a blue bottom. Whenever it is sunny, the clouds floating in the air look white and soft, like cotton. The weather here is cold all year round, especially in winter, the river surface here is almost frozen, and it is difficult for ships to continue north along the river.

From Longxing River City to the north, it is Yaquesa City. This city, which was once built into a fortress from the barbarians in the north, was burned to ashes by the Qing border generals after the First Battle of Yaquesa.

Later, the imperial court issued a transfer order, ordering the border generals to garrison in Jaxa, and the city was rebuilt again.

There are no local residents in the city, and there are soldiers who know how to fight.

Among them were tribes who came to support the Qing army in Longxingjiang City, and there were troops sent by General Sabusu, who was stationed in Longxingjiang City.

Tsarist Russia came to burn and kill the looted Cossack cavalry, and often carried out sneak attacks around the Battle of Yaxa.

They were like smooth loaches, and they ran away after a while, plundered the food and property of the people on the Qing Dynasty's border, and even robbed the supplies of the Qing army. Because Yaxa was separated from Longxing River City by a dangerous river and the Qing Dynasty lacked support, Sabs had to order the guards living in Yaxa to migrate back to the southeast of Longxing River, looking across the river from the barbarians in the north that made a comeback, waiting for the military orders from the capital.

During this period, Sabusu's army and local tribes fought several times with barbarians in the north, and they were both victorious and lost. The enemy was cunning and wandered around and fought many times. If they failed to attack, they would retreat. Once they succeeded, their methods were extremely cruel.

Sabusu ordered the main defense to protect areas near the border, and ordered the nomadic tribes living near Longxingjiang City not to go north, so that the losses were minimized. The battle reports were constantly sent to the capital, waiting for the emperor to go north during the Northern Tribunal, and they accumulated strength, accumulated strength, and sent people to collect intelligence. Finally, it was time for the Qing army to counterattack!

The first thing is to join forces and attack Jaxa!

This is a sure victory battle. The Qing Dynasty brought hundreds of cannons. Apart from the red-clothed cannons in the past few years as the bottom, they attacked Yaxa with divine cannons on both sides of the city gate.

There were nearly 500 Western mercenaries hired from the West, holding bird guns, and shooting and killing the escaped Cossacks.

The Qing warships were swaying, and flags were raised to fly. In order to prevent the barbarians in the north from escaping from the water when they saw something wrong, both the army and the navy were arranged seamlessly.

With a huge attack, there were only more than 200 opponents!

Yinzhen frowned when he heard about this.

Sabsu told Ledehon: "They went to Nebchu to bring reinforcements, and there were only more than one hundred rescuers from Nebchu."

More than 200 people invaded the Qing Dynasty's border, but it made Sabusu, a general with heavy troops, feel helpless. Is the enemy too strong or the Qing Dynasty's generals too incompetent?

Yinzhi looked solemn: "A mere 200 people will make you abandon the occupied city of Yaquesa?"

Sabsu explained: "The eldest prince didn't know that he had to transport military supplies along the way from Longxingjiang City to Yaquesa, which consumed a lot of money on the way. The enemy repeatedly invaded an isolated city. Finally, the generals discussed with their subordinates, all believed that the temporary withdrawal of Yaquesa would be more conducive to preserving our army's combat power, and defending Yaquesa City to the death would be just more consumption."

"If you can't think of a way to cut off the enemy when you attack Yaxa this time, with the arrangement of the Qing Dynasty here, this city may be occupied by the enemy again and again."

Yinzhi said in a deep voice: "Yaksa City cannot be discarded. Once it is discarded, Longxingjiang City will become the prey at the mouth of the enemy. It is too close to it. If you are not careful, the border will be powerful!"

"If you want to cut off this possibility, you can only make the enemy unable to continue to support."

The tent of the commander was burning with carbon fire that was enough to keep the cold, and the hot air flow drifted to Yinzhi's cheeks, illuminating his firm and mature eyebrows and eyes.

Head coach Ledehon said: "The big prince means that our army may still need to capture Nibchu."

Yinzhi said: "Khan Ama wants to show the power of a great power in this battle. Foreign mercenaries said they were hired to fight for our army, and more so they were to witness the great victory of this battle! Now that the battle of Yaksa is easy to win, the enemy general Tolbuzin, and the local tribes have at least tens of thousands of troops, attacking only more than 200 people and winning. Is this enough?"

"What is the meaning of a great victory? The general will not know that Khan Ama's heavy move this time is not just to attack Yaquesa City, but to deter Tsarist Russia and completely resolve the northern border problem!"

The cold air current swept across the entire land within their garrison. Seeing the snow falling in the sky and the wind gradually sounded, the coldest season on the northern border was here.

Sabusu said helplessly: "In the near future, the rivers in the north will freeze due to excessive cold, and attack and support will become particularly difficult. Our soldiers are not used to the cold cold. No matter how good the protection is, there are still people who have frozen deaths. However, the barbarians in the north are all Russians living in the cold land. They are adapted to fighting in the cold cold. When the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty face them, they almost sacrificed their lives in exchange for one person."

"Before the coldest season comes, Nebchu must be taken down! Nebchu is located west of Yaksa City, and the temperature cannot be checked much. If you delay any further, you may miss the opportunity. Wait for the enemy to send support from Yenisesk and Tskyakutsk to support it, the Qing Dynasty will have to spend more sacrifices and time to capture Nibchu."

Yinzhi looked at Ledehon and asked Ledehon for his opinion: "What do you think?"

"The Qing Dynasty needs to make a great reputation. How can it be enough to just attack Yaxa? Nebchu was once a land of the Qing Dynasty, but was occupied by the enemy for many years. Nebchu was a place where Maoming'an and other troops of Mongolia were grazed. The locals intend to surrender to the Qing Dynasty and seek asylum. General Sabhusu turned a deaf ear to his request on the grounds that he could not support it. There were also the Buryat Mongolians who helped our army a lot in the first Battle of Yaxa. Why did the general summon their leaders yet?!"

Sabsu said helplessly: "The Buryat Mongolians intend to join forces with our army to attack the territory around Lake Baikal. The area is even farther away and has been under the rule of the Northern Barbarians for decades! If our army sends troops, they will go but not return. As a border general, they must preserve the strength of their soldiers and will not be damaged by anything. I have many concerns and I am powerless to do anything about it. Please forgive me."

Yinzhi asked Ledehon: "The prince thought, what is the chance of our army's victory in attacking Nebchu?"

Ledehon nodded, agreeing with Yinzhi's point of view: "Nebchu has only a hundred troops stationed in it, but what needs to be guarded against is the support from Yakutsk. It is not difficult to capture Nibchu, but the difficult thing is how to defend the attacked place."

Yinda shouted: "Then join forces with the locals to capture Yakutsk together. Khan Ama came with heavy troops and issued an order of attack on the other end of the capital. What about us? Be restrained and settled with the status quo! General Sabusu, I think you have been guarding the border for a long time, working hard and making great contributions, and have a high reputation here. I don't blame you much. I just hope that you will be more bold when reinforcements have arrived! This way, you will not fall into the reputation of Batulu on your border!"

Redehon was reminded by Yinzhi and thought deeply: Yes, now everyone knows Sabsu's name on the border, but no one knows that there is Ledehon, and Ledehon is the head coach of this attack. After winning a big victory, the head coach's reputation can reach its peak, and military merits are the first priority, assuming that he must achieve more records than Sabsu, so that he can overshadow Sabsu's light.

Ledehon said: "The eldest prince is right. Since there are heavy reinforcements coming, there are also local people familiar with geography to help him. Why not use the connections previously arranged by Mingxian to contact the local Mongolians and attack Nibchu and Yakutsk?"

Seeing that Ledehon and the eldest son agreed to continue fighting again, Sabsu had to compromise and obey their orders.

Yinzhi returned to his tent with a calm face and saw a beautiful young man waiting in it, his expression calmed down.

"Thank you for your news, Dezhu," Yinzhi said slowly. If Dezhu hadn't analyzed the geographical location and local conditions for him, Yinzhi would have really not been able to say so much detailed analysis, and it would have been impossible to shock the two generals.

Now seeing Ledehon and Sabsu's reaction, he must have begun to pay attention to him.

"A servant is just a simple task, and it is also for the wish of His Royal Highness the Prince." Dezhu's lips curled slightly. His years of life at the border did not stain him with wind and frost. Instead, he tempered the originally overly refined young man into a tough and upright appearance like a bamboo.

"The eldest prince is a new arrival and has insufficient control over border matters. He is very likely to be deceived. Only by taking the lead and making a big splash can he attract the attention of the two generals."

Dezhu worked for General Ningguta for many years and ran between Longxingjiang City and Yaquesa City. He not only met the Buryat Mongolians, but also had close ties with the local Mongolian tribes.

Yinzhen asked, "I heard you understand the Russian language of Tsarism?"

"Yes, the slave not only learned the Russian language of the Tsarist, but also questioned many things from the Cossack cavalry captured by the Qing Dynasty, such as the heavy troops of their country, who are now fighting with the Ottoman Empire on the other side." Dezhu was happy to share his information with Yinzhi. With him, Yinzhi would not be completely undermined by Ledehon after he arrived at the border.

"The eldest prince was entrusted by His Highness the Crown Prince to attack the Tsarist's heartland in this battle. I don't recommend you fight to the north. Once you cross that area of ​​Xing'an Mountains, there will be dangers on the other side of the natural danger." Dezhu pointed to the sky and said in a leisurely manner: "I suggest you find a way to fight to the west. Once you attack Lake Baikal, the local Buryats will take the initiative to come and join forces with the Qing army."

His eyes were as deep as the starry sky, and the smile on his lips was confident and eye-catching: "With a slave by your side, all local languages ​​can be translated for you. A few years ago, he was born in the Buryat tribe. Now that he has returned to Lake Baikal, he has attracted many local tribes to rebel."

When Yinzhi heard this, he said in surprise: "It would be great if this is true. This battle can also be taken down Lake Baikal!"

"What the eldest prince needs to do is to lead the coach to continue attacking the west," Dezhu whispered: "Although the slave is not a military advisor like Zhuge Liang, he is better at understanding the local situation and making many friends, which may help you."

Yinda nodded slightly: "Don't worry, I will lead the way to Ledehon."

It is really a surprise to have such help from Dezhu to come to him. If he can't achieve the goal he wants to achieve, that would be really incompetent.

He looked at Dezhu, who had changed a lot, and could not see through this person. He only felt that his every move was mysterious and charming. Once upon a time, he followed the shadow of the prince like a young follower, and he was reborn and transformed into his current appearance.

Yinzhen suddenly said, "You have changed a lot."

Deju smiled and said, "I just learned a lot, and I have ink in my stomach, but my nature has not changed."

Yinzhi: But I only see your unpredictable scheming.

"Will you stay here after this war? General Ningguta gave you an official position?"

Deju shook his head: "I ruthlessly ruthlessly gave up the position given by the general. Now I am just a doctor on the border. In this war, I ruth wants to return to Beijing."

Yinzhi said in surprise: "With your talent now, you still have to go back to Beijing to continue to be the prince's prince's haha ​​bead?"

"Your Highness has achieved success in his studies, and it won't be a haha ​​bead when I go back," Deju said with a hilarious look: "It is precisely because of the ink in my stomach that I have to return to your Highness and do things for him."

"I also hope that in this battle, I can cleanse my guilty body and return to the capital with a meritorious minister, so as to earn some face for Your Highness."

Yinzhi wanted to roll his eyes: One or two of them were like this, and I don’t know what kind of ecstasy soup the prince gave them.

Cao Zhen is like this, and Dezhu is the same. He does not seek official positions or wealth, but wants to do things for the prince. Why didn’t he meet such talented and capable accompanying him and haha ​​beads?

"After the war is victorious, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back for a while," Yinzhi said lightly: "He said he wants to come here in person."

Deju came back to his senses and said in surprise: "Your Highness wants to come here in person? Will the emperor agree?!"

"Ama Khan will not agree easily. As for whether he can have this opportunity, it depends on what the border war will look like."

"It's not impossible to fight to Lake Baikal." Yinzhi pondered and thought about a good way to attract Ledehong to earn military merits.

He complained softly: "Baocheng is like this. He always spares no effort to send people around him, but he hides behind him."

"Your Highness is not a lazy person, he has paid more for it himself," Deok-joo said softly: "For the sake of his dream."

Yinzhen: "..."
