The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

Chapter 257 The Good News of 61 Longevity

Probably fourth master was too tense during this period and needed to relax. Sure enough, the next day, he asked someone to pack up, took the whole family to the hot spring, and went to the picking shed to play. He really relaxed a lot .

Looking at the greenery all over the ground, he said to Sifujin, "The joy of the countryside makes people feel leisurely and fascinated."

"Yes, I also like the things here." Si Fujin loves to eat eggplants, and there is a large shed of fresh eggplants here. On the first day when he came here, the kitchen made stewed catfish with eggplants, and on the second day, he made eggplants with soy sauce.

In addition, all kinds of green vegetables are also very fresh. The juicy cabbage can be picked and washed, and the onion, ginger and garlic can be fried in a pan. The vegetable oil is used, and it tastes very refreshing. According to The cook said that this was all ordered by the Fourteenth Master, and that Prince Yong had a light taste, so the dishes were lighter, but they also had to be nutritious.

So there are not only green vegetables, but also old hen soup, which is clear and watery, without any oily stars, but Prince Yong needs to use such a bowl and a half bowl every day.

Prince Yong said dumbfoundingly: "This prince is not a child."

"This is the wish of my fourteenth brother." Princess Yong, on the other hand, had a cup of bird's nest every day, saying that it would beautify her skin.

Even the concubine De in the palace drank a cup of bird's nest every day.

Women are the least resistant to the words "beauty and beauty".

Many people knew that Prince Yong took his whole family to Xiaotangshan for a "holiday". Kangxi also knew about it, so he was puzzled: "Why did he go to Xiaotangshan?"

"Maybe I miss the Fourteenth Master?" Li Dequan said, "There is a separate courtyard that the Fourteenth Master has prepared for the Fourth Master over there."

Kangxi laughed when he heard this: "Yes, they are brothers after all."

Although the fourth child looks cold-hearted, he actually has a bit of a human touch.

"Let's not talk about the fourth master, the slaves are thinking about the fourteenth master. In previous years, the fourteenth master should think about giving you a gift of longevity." Li Dequan said that he is still the master of the fourteenth.

"Yeah, it would be great if Shishi was here." Kangxi also missed Shishi.

What is Miss Fourteen doing?He was sitting in the army, and the artillery fire was booming in front of him. Nian Gengyao led his men to fight against the opponent!

The beginning of spring is not a time for war. The first spring is windy and the climate is changeable, especially on the plateau. Spring comes late and winter comes early.

Summer is short and winter is long.

Originally, spring was not suitable for war, but the fourteenth master wanted to go back to celebrate Kangxi's birthday, but the birthday was in March, so he couldn't go back.

Nian Gengyao said: "Then can I give the good news to Long Live Lord!"

This is how the Firearms Battalion took the initiative to attack. Nian Gengyao's Firearms Battalion made another sharp attack, pushing the front line forward for fifty miles, and the enemy even lost their front camp.

The luggage and provisions also became Nian Gengyao's spoils of war.

The enemy fled to the Ganzi area, and Nian Gengyao and the others also stayed in Ganzi.

Ganzi is located in the west of Sichuan Province and the southeastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It is connected to Aba and Ya'an in Sichuan in the east, Liangshan in Sichuan and Diqing in Yunnan to the south, Qamdo in Tibet across the Jinsha River in the west, and Aba in Sichuan, Yushu and Guoluo in Qinghai to the north. The terrain in the territory belongs to the transition zone between the Sichuan Basin and the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau in the whole country. The north is the hilly plateau in the northwest of Sichuan, the south is the high mountain gorge (deep) valley area of ​​the Hengduan Mountains, and the east is adjacent to the western mountains of the Sichuan Basin. High in the south and low in the south, protruding in the middle, deep incised at the southeastern margin, parallel and alternate mountains and rivers, modern glaciers developed, and significant regional differences.

The geomorphology of this place shows the appearance of plateaus and hilly plateaus at the farthest point from the main stream, and the place where the main stream flows forms alpine canyons, and there is a transitional landform between the two.

The climate mainly belongs to the climate of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, with obvious vertical distribution posture with height difference, which is characterized by low temperature, long winter, less precipitation and sufficient sunshine.

The current Heshuote Mongolian Grassland in Qinghai belongs to one of the four tribes of Erut Mongolia in Xinjiang.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Gu Shi Khan, the leader of Heshuo Te (one as Gushi), led his troops into Tibet and Qinghai.

At this time in the Qing Dynasty, the descendants of Gu Shihan were divided into three tribes, namely Lhazang Khan in Tibet, Eqitu Khan in Qinghai, and Alashan King in Hexi.

These three guys, Lhazang Khan is now a rebel, but the other two sent troops to support them even though they didn't come.

Ganzi, Xinlong, Litang, Yajiang, Kangding, Jiulong... These are all places where the rebels are stationed. Perhaps in later generations, these are tourist attractions, but now, this is a primitive place where birds don't shit.

There are few people and many wild animals.

When I saw a Tibetan antelope before, the Fourteenth Master would definitely take a picture. This is a Tibetan antelope, right?

Now that I see it, let's shoot and kill it first, it's all game!

It is much easier to get here, the supply of the court can come from Yunnan and Sichuan, Yunnan provides rice and tea, Sichuan provides dried vegetables, bamboo shoots and other fruit trees.

You can see that they have advanced to a place. The Fourteenth Master moved from Gaocheng Town to Ganzi.

At this time, Ganzi was not as beautiful as the later generations, it was just a dilapidated small town, and because of the existence of the rebels, the people ran away.

This time Nian Gengyao kept some captives, and these captives had no other task but to build houses for them.

Build a better mansion for the Fourteenth Master. This is already a plateau area, and we can no longer live in tents.

Those rebels killed a lot of people, and they were all burned. They couldn't be buried on the spot. Burying on the spot would pollute the groundwater source, and they still had to drink water.

After the Fourteenth Master arrived here, Ganzi had become a small city, but it was full of soldiers, and it was a veritable city of soldiers.

According to the rules, the largest building here is the temporary residence for the Fourteenth Lord.

Nian Gengyao built this place well, but before the Fourteenth Master came up, he had already reported the success to Jingzhong, saying that Ganzi had been defeated.

Kangxi's 61st birthday, Beijing was full of singing and dancing. At this time, the battle report came back from the front. After the new year, the Northwest Army was not idle. After knocking down Ganzi, their front-line position has already hit the opponent's lair.

And this time there are prisoners.

Kangxi really wanted to laugh out loud when he saw the "how many prisoners" at the end.

"Look, Prince Xun has won another big victory." Kangxi asked people to pass on the good news for everyone to see.

Everyone took turns to look at it, and what was written on it was formulaic, but it was definitely a good news.

The corners of Prince Yong's mouth were slightly raised, and he was in a good mood. Last year, these people chased and beat his younger brother fiercely, but this year they were overwhelmed by his younger brother's record.

Who would say unlucky words at this time?

This is good news from the Longevity Festival.

Now is the time, who dares to sing bad news?Were the lessons of last year not enough?

"It's the general king after all, look, this spring has won the first battle." Li Guangdi, this glazed egg, can talk.

Others also joined in.

"Yes, Prince Xun is the best."

"Nian Gengyao is also good."

"What a pair of sharp knives."

Prince Cheng's face turned pale with anger, but he didn't dare to say anything. The lesson from last time was enough.

Lian Baylor didn't come to the court, he had no errands, and he was not seen by Kangxi, but he knew all the troubles in the court. It has to be said that Lian Baylor did have a hand.

"Prince Xun has indeed worked hard. In such an environment, even a mouthful of green vegetables is hard to eat." Speaking of this, Kangxi regretted sending his fourteenth son to that place: "Prince Yong, let people prepare dried vegetables, soybeans, etc. Wait for some miscellaneous grains, some dried fruits and dried meat, and send them to Prince Xun, just say, let’s talk about labor!"

"If you go back to Huang Ama, I feel that dried fruit is fine, but dried meat is free. There you can raise dried meat on the spot, which is much better than what we have here." Prince Yong smiled and said: "Dried vegetables are fine, soybeans, etc. Miscellaneous grains, and all kinds of hot pot ingredients."

"Yes, yes! My [-]th is the rarest hot pot. Let his chain store prepare more dipping sauces for the pot. Oh, let the Mongolian Eight Banners provide the mushroom sauce, leek flower sauce, etc., and let the Ministry of Internal Affairs send it to you." Go get some miso." Kangxi never worried about this before, but this time, he was just like an ordinary old father, worrying about the basic necessities of his children traveling far away.

In fact, he doesn't need to worry too much, but he knows how big Fourteen's mouth is.

Because of this matter, even Concubine De in the harem was rewarded by Kangxi. A table of imperial banquet was rewarded to Concubine De. big dish.

In addition, twenty bolts of silk and satin and two mink fur coats were separately rewarded to Concubine De.

After Prince Yong came out of the palace, he led people to wander back to the mansion, thought for a while: "Go outside for a walk."

Instead of going home directly, he went out for a stroll and bought a whole set of red gold and ruby-studded headgear for Princess Yong, and a pair of golden step rockers with pearl chains and luan birds for Concubine Nian. .

Song and others are all gold bracelets.

Only he didn't buy anything for Concubine Li.

I gave Concubine Li a big embarrassment.

Everyone else knew what it was for, and Concubine Li had to blame herself.

The supplies were delivered in May, and the nearest ones were grain and dried vegetables, dried bamboo shoots and tea leaves, etc., and the Fourteenth Master did collect grain on the spot. The grain was not grain, but beef jerky from the Eight Banners of Mongolia.

The imperial court exchanged half of the salt with salt, and then requisitioned half, and some exchanged some with tea.

Jerky is convenient to eat, not to mention there is nothing else to grind your teeth here, even a snack is rare.

Fourteenth Master asked someone to make spicy beef jerky, but Nian Gengyao took it all away and replaced it with soy sauce-flavored beef jerky.

Or dry beef jerky.

Fourteenth Master held a piece of beef jerky and gnawed on it: "Are you going to just keep bombarding it with firearms?"

"Why not?" Nian Gengyao poured him a bowl of tea: "If we continue to fight like this, we will even save pensions, and we will be able to boost the morale of the army."

"But there are going to be complaints from the Eight Banners of Mongolia." The Fourteenth Master smiled and teased: "Didn't you see that even Prince Alashan came to give him up in person? Isn't it because he is afraid that he will lose all his money and have no military achievements?" No, I am afraid that the officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty will not leave after they settle in and occupy their territory.”

"Then let the Mongolian Eight Banners fight in the first battle here, and they can take the spoils all by themselves instead of handing them in." Nian Gengyao said generously, "Anyway, there are no spoils."

After fighting for three to five years, the rebels' fortunes were almost wiped out.

In addition, the Qing army was also collecting food from the local Mongolian tribes, so the rebels had no place to survive.

"Okay, let them fight!" Fourteenth Master finished the beef jerky and drank two sips of tea: "The supplies are here, let's have hot pot tonight!"

"Okay, I'll ask Huotoujun to get ready." Nian Gengyao said, "Do you want some tofu?"

"Here's a plate!" Fourteenth Master said: "The whole army will have a hot pot meal. It just so happens that the weather is a little better at the moment, so let's serve some mushrooms, bean sprouts, and vegetables. Everyone, let's eat more."

Nian Gengyao nodded: "Okay, I will make arrangements."

In the evening, Master Fourteen ate the hot pot, and it was still rich, and this time there were fresh tomatoes, which were very simple and were grown in Sichuan, and they were picked when they were freshly pulled. Spray Laobaigan spirits, cover it with a quilt, and transport it up in a hurry, and open the quilt to see that the tomatoes are also red.

Fourteenth Master happily ate the hot pot with tomato bottom, it was sour and sweet and delicious.

The whole camp was full of excitement, and red tomatoes were eaten on the plateau, which was a rare thing.

And after eating the hot pot, the next day, the Mongolian Eight Banners directly took on the new dragon, which is their first place to fight for.
