Chapter 237
Yinzhi was sober. He appeared here for himself, not for the prince.
In order to gain military power, become the prince of real power; for a higher status and a better life; for success and fame, satisfy vanity, and become a successful and independent man...
Power, wealth, status, glory...
What ordinary men long for are also what he wants to hold in his hands. He is destined to take a different path from the prince, and he also believes that he does not have the noble thoughts of "sacrificing oneself for others", "for the country and the people", and "selfless dedication".
Yinzhi calmly accepted what he longed for, and was quite proud: I am such a vulgar person.
For this reason, it is inevitable to fight further and achieve greater success in the border war, not for the prince, but for his own future. He will help the prince and cooperate with the prince, but because they have a common goal ahead of them - to defeat Tsarist Russia.
The next morning, Dezhu heard the sound of military formations outside. When he went out of the camp, he saw Yinzhi wearing fine armor, holding the sword hilt at his waist, leading his personal soldiers to train. Dezhu was meticulous and carefully observed and saw that Yinzhi was still wearing a gun. Since this dynasty, the gun has almost disappeared, and now it has been created again. The eldest prince has also worn every personal soldiers.
Dezhu was extremely surprised and asked Yinzhi's situation: "I thought this gun was only available for hunting for imperial purposes now, and I never thought that I could see such a new type of gun in the army."
"This gun gradually faded out of people's sight because the Qing Dynasty archery and horse management had a longer range and higher accuracy than the use of guns. The impact flintlock rifle from the Ming Dynasty was forgotten because of this," Yinzhi explained: "It was not until the establishment of the Firearms Battalion and Research Institute that the weapons such as guns, which were called thermal weapons by the prince, were once again valued by Khan Ama."
"In the past, compared to bows and arrows, guns were limited by the high production price and were not as convenient as bows and arrows. It was not until the firearm camp absorbed guns from various countries and dismantled and analyzed that a longer and more accurate gun was studied. There is a rifle in this gun, which can rotate the gun and bullets at high speed, achieving the effect of launching the gun and bullets in a straight line to the target."
"It's just that loading ammunition is really troublesome. You need to use a wooden stick to take it with you. It is to meet the needs of time. If you bring one more weapon when you go into battle, you will have one more guarantee."
Yinzhi was tall among his peers, but he had not yet grown to his fullest. According to his expectations, when he grew up to be an eight-foot man, he would be able to use both bow, horse, riding and shooting, and use both guns and swordsmanship in battles, and he could use them at will, both in close combat and long-distance combat.
"The eldest prince is going to go on the battle in person?"
Dezhu reminded: "The sword has no eyes, and the battlefield changes rapidly, so it is better to take care of yourself."
Yinzhi immediately turned cold and scolded angrily: "What do you know?"
"The general fought bloody battle on the battlefield and went to fight with iron horses. How could he be a coward who could hide in a safe place because of a slight injury?!"
Yinzhi felt offended: "I am indeed young. Ledehong gave me the task to be responsible for logistics and transporting food and grass. So what?"
"I will come here for the day and I will come on stage in person. I will never hide in the camp and feel comfortable. If I really just want to make military achievements, I still have to discuss and plan these strategies for continuing the attack on the west?"
Dezhu looked at him for a moment and suddenly smiled: "The eldest prince can tell the words to the head coach. The emperor sent you to fight, but he did not give you the general, but the power to supervise the army. The two head coaches are not one mind. If Ledehon doesn't work, why not talk to General Sabusu?"
Dezhu said: "I heard what you said today. I will look at you with admiration. You are also a person with dreams."
They are all young people who work hard for their dreams. Even the pride of heaven is like the eldest son of the emperor, but they still go from immature to mature. It feels great to work hard to pursue their goals.
Deok-ju is willing to have close friends with people with dreams. Everyone with dreams will shine, and their hard work looks amazing.
If it weren't for the opportunity given by His Highness, he might still behaved in the palace to please noble people, guarding against the deceptions in the palace, and carefully currying for help.
It was His Highness who showed him a way to see the future. On that road, he could no longer look down at people with a humble look, straighten his back and walk forward without fear.
Yinzhen:???
"Don't tell me what you said like you. I am not doing things for the prince. Don't talk about my dreams. I am very vulgar and don't have the ideal of a saint who hopes for a prosperous country and a prosperous people. I will be successful and famous, have military power in my hands, and have money and power. I will become famous on the battlefield and be respected by all the people when I return to the capital!"
Deju was silent.
"You are worthy of being the eldest prince, and your dream is different from that of ordinary people."
He thought that if he wanted to succeed and become a capable minister in the world, he wanted everything.
Yinzhi was speechless. He looked at Dezhu with the eyes of looking at magical animals, but he didn't know that he was also strange and verbal in Dezhu's eyes.
Having been with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for many years, Dezhu had some impression of the eldest prince's character, and knew that he should coax him at this time so as not to be angry and angry. So he changed the subject with a gentle voice: "Then, in order to achieve your wish as soon as possible, I will wish you a handful of help. Today, I will come to tell you about the news that is related to the Tsarist Russia, and the general Golovin who they sent to fight against the Qing Dynasty this time."
"The head coach sent by Tsarist Russia this time is named Golovin. He is a Count in his country and is good at fighting on both sides of the sea and land. This time he was ordered by the Regent Princess to come to the Qing border to start a war. In fact, Golovin is loyal to Tsar Peter."
Perhaps Yinzhi looked too surprised, Dezhu laughed in silence: "This is not the ability of a slave. But the foreign missionaries sent by His Highness to communicate. In order to promote the "reconciliation and trade" between the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia as soon as possible, they spared no effort to contribute to it!"
Yinzhi said in shock: "How much has the prince arranged for the border war?!"
Dezhu shook his head when he heard this: "I don't know what the arrangement of Your Highness is. Your Highness has a long-term vision and has made preparations early. If it were the ones who had expected it, I'm afraid that your Highness would have already decided to do these things when he first visited the emperor in the northern tour."
"Will you appear here and be the prince's instructor?"
Dezhu: "…"
"He actually had the potential to recognize talents at a young age!"
The eldest prince's marvelous look made Deju feel a little funny, and he collapsed.
Let the eldest prince think so for now!
He made it himself and his highness might be surprised that the gifts he gave him would have such a good result.
Only Dezhu knew that His Highness gave him not only the gift that allowed his whole family to live in peace, but also a major opportunity to completely change his life.
Dezhu did not intend to correct the misunderstandings caused by the eldest prince, so he mistakenly thought that His Highness was so smart and had the ability of a wise ruler, which made him subconsciously feel that His Highness was unfathomable and must be the best candidate for the future emperor.
He lowered his head, and his feather-like eyelashes drooped a clear shadow, which also covered his deep eyes, and then said to Yinzhi: "Sophia has been in charge of the government for many years as a princess. It's a pity that her ambition has stopped here, and she is still a princess regent. Since she does not have the courage to ascend the throne, this is destined to be incorrect. There have been precedents since ancient times. No matter how long the powerful ministers and the regent have been regent, they are not the emperor. They have gradually gained their own power and absorbed more people to rely on him. It is only a matter of time before the powerful ministers fall and the regent will be dismissed."
"The missionary came from St. Petersburg, and when he brought the news, Golovin had not set off yet," Dezhu narrowed his eyes and reminded Yinzhi: "Maybe our army can use this to prepare in advance."
Golovin, a talented commander, was also the target of several ruling people in the Tsarist Russian royal family. Such a person was obviously more difficult to match the enemy generals faced by the Qing Dynasty.
In terms of status, Golowen is equivalent to Tsarist Russia and Ledehon in the Qing Dynasty.
Golovin walked east from St. Petersburg, led his army, and recruited a large number of Cossacks along the way, intending to go to the Selengsk garrison.
According to Golovin's expectations, the Qing army would not have such a fast speed to break through the defense line and reach Lake Baikal.
"Those Qing people were very timid and afraid. Even if they defeated us, they would let our generals go and whispered to ask us not to continue attacking their borders."
The adjutant laughed humorously. When he saw Golovin looking down at the map, he seemed to be thinking, and he was not planning to take his words, and he looked embarrassed.
"When I arrived at Selengsk, I contacted the friendly forces who conquered and commanded Lake Baikal, and looked forward to the group of Buryats, and then attacked the Khalkha Mongolia," said Golovin, thinking that he had already planned to send people to the other side to cooperate with Galdan, and attack the Khalkha Mongolia together.
Scouts kept coming to report the collected news. Golovin, who was strategically intelligent and transcendent, soon thought of taking advantage of the disagreement between the various tribes of the Khalkha Mongol to create a split effect and then defeat them one by one.
"You have a saying that the Qing people would not easily cross the river to attack us. They were war-keeping and were afraid of defeat. Their soldiers were not as good as ours." Golovin said slowly: "This also gave us a good opportunity."
"What the Qing people know best is to be self-righteous," the adjutant curled his lips disdainfully, criticizing the arrogance of the ancient Eastern Kingdoms.
"We should thank them for their arrogance. They should have unique ports and great opportunities to trade with countries far away. Our country has struggled to find a reliable trade route to date."
"If it weren't for their generosity and arrogance, how could it be our turn?" Goloven said: "In order to get a pleasant climate port to sea, we must be fully prepared!"
Golovin was determined to win the territory of the Eastern Kingdom. For this reason, he equipped his subordinate troops with the most exquisite weapons and guns and cannons, and prepared sufficient food and military supplies. Then, with his men, he rushed to Selengesk in a mighty manner.
When he saw the city wall of Selengesk, Golovin looked relaxed and waved his hand and ordered: "Stay on a night, and launch an attack on the Khalkha Mongolia from tomorrow to order the nearby Buryats to pay military rations to our army. Whoever disobeys will be killed immediately!"
The Cossack cavalry were cruel by nature, and it was the limit to be able to endure under Golovin's constraints. Now that Golovin's order was reached, several Cossack cavalry rushed to the place where the Buryats grazed.
The original guards of Selengesk were standing on the city wall and looking at Golovin. There were flags waving in the city, and the city gate slowly opened with his wave.
The deputy general did not doubt that he was, and led his army into the city gate according to Golovin's order.
Golovin narrowed his eyes and looked at the friendly forces standing still on the city wall. The alarm bells in his heart became louder and louder. He suddenly saw the black dots on the city wall, and immediately picked up the telescope to investigate. He saw that the city tower was densely lined with artillery formations like ants.
Golovin shouted loudly: "There is an ambush, come back!"
"boom!--"
The first cannon that shook the world like thunder suddenly sounded, like some signal, followed by more dense rain of shells.
The army brought was unable to defend, and was baptized by artillery fire. Golovin reacted very quickly and immediately ordered to line up and withdraw from the artillery range.
Withdrawing from the city tower, behind him were thousands of arrows, wrapped in oil cloth, and the bows and arrows burning with flames poured down like heavy rain.
In the distance, the Cossack cavalry fell like a trap. Golovin gritted his teeth and chose to break his tail to survive. He abandoned the army that had entered the city tower and led the remaining army to rush towards the bow and arrow team.
The majestic horn sounded over the blue sky and white clouds, as if it was about to shake down the cotton-like clouds in the sky.
"Bang--"
"Bang bang--"
Sudden gunfire sounds came from the flank direction, while roars and killing sounds came from the other flank direction.
In the cold telescope mirror hole, a large number of enemies with completely different faces were reflected, and Golovin's face began to twitch, frozen in disbelief in his eyes: "This is impossible!"
White skin and yellow hair are Western Europeans! The ancient Eastern countries actually put down their arrogant airs and united with the countries in the mainland further west!
In the blink of an eye, winter and summer come, October in the capital is quite hot, like a freshly baked dish, emitting hot smoke. When the victory of the victory reached the capital, Yinreng was worried about his old ministers' prayers one after another.
After half a year, the newly established department and the court has gradually become more perfect. Since the prince dismantled the Ministry of Rites into the Ministry of Culture and Foreign Affairs, there has been no new big moves.
In the hot weather, in order to maintain his perfect and elegant appearance, Yinreng had to let Xiaomei turn on a cooling system air conditioner for himself. From that time on, it was rumored that Prince Meiyu had "clear ice skin and jade bones without sweating", his temperament was like jade, and he was as warm as jade, and his winter was warm in summer.
Yinreng felt that as long as he did not take rumors seriously and blocked his ears and pretended that they did not exist, it would disappear by itself over time!
When the remaining officials of the Ministry of Rites saw the prince coming in a hurry, they made way for him, and some people kindly handed him a small bench.
Yinreng smiled and thanked him, picked up the bench and sat outside Shacheng's office, and began to persuade him with great thoughts: "Sir Sha, you can't retire now. Even if you are not for yourself, you have to stay in this position for two more years for your descendants who have not yet stood out. The Ministry of Rites is in the period of transformation, and you need a big shot like you to take charge. Lord Zhang is doing a good job in the Ministry of Justice, but you can't move your position."
