The Rebirth of the Abandoned Prince

Chapter 55 Tsarist Russia Invasion

Kangxi began to recover slowly, and malaria was only infected in a small range of people, and the whole capital did not fall into panic.Those suffering from malaria were isolated and treated one by one. Except for a few people who found it too late to be treated, the rest gradually recovered.

The big stone in Yinreng's heart was finally slowly suppressed. He was really worried. If malaria broke out in a large area in the capital, the consequences would be disastrous.Fortunately, only a small number of people are infected with malaria now, and everything is still under the control of the court.In addition, Tongjitang donated medicine and dispensed medicines among the people, and the people in the capital gradually stabilized. Those who wanted to flee to the capital all left one after another when they heard that malaria was raging in the capital.

In recent years, the Yellow River has flooded and the disaster has been serious.Although Kangxi had already allocated ten thousand taels of gold for disaster relief, it was still a drop in the bucket.Most of the silver did not reach the hands of the victims. On the contrary, the pockets of the official who called for disaster relief were bulging.

"The Yellow River is flooding, and many civilians have fled outside the capital. Does the prince need disaster relief?" Tuhar thought for a while and asked. He didn't know if Yinfeng was planning to provide disaster relief, but more and more victims were outside the capital. , it is not a solution in the long run.

Yinfeng said: "When Huang Ama makes an order, I don't want to order it casually at this time. Besides, Huang Ama only allocated nearly 10 taels of gold for disaster relief the year before last. This money may have fallen into the hands of those corrupt officials. Disaster relief is of course important, but what is more important is how not to repeat the cycle. If the Yellow River issue is not resolved, such things will continue to happen.”

"Then really don't care about anything?" Tuhar looked at Yinreng suspiciously. He didn't believe that Yinreng did nothing and let these victims wander around the capital.

Yinfeng shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. But we can ask Tongjitang to send people outside the capital to treat the refugees' injuries and send some porridge and water there. We can't do anything else."

"Yes, the servant knows." Tuhar still breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Yinfeng didn't ignore it at all, but the decision still needed Kangxi to make a decision.Yinfeng had no way to bypass Kangxi and directly order disaster relief, which was really thankless.

Less than half an hour after Tuhar left, Yinzhen and Yinhu came to Yuqing Palace in a hurry.The two don't know when they started to develop such a tacit understanding. Although they didn't come together, they came for the same thing.That is the flood of the Yellow River, and the problem of refugees outside the capital.

Yinreng felt a little surprised in his heart, saying that Yinzhen had always been paying attention to the disaster in Huangshan, which he could understand.All his life, Yinzhen hated those corrupt officials. In the matter of reorganizing the Eight Banners, he had brought down many ten court officials who were rich in private pockets.He never thought about Yinhu's arrival.

"Second brother, Yinzhen wants to go to the Yellow River to oversee the work." Yinzhen said to Yinfeng straightforwardly: "The emperor Ama only allocated ten thousand taels of gold to relieve the disaster and control the Yellow River the year before last, and the Yellow River flooded again in less than three years. Many people took the money.”

"Brother Prince, Yinhu also wants to go to the Yellow River with the fourth brother to punish those corrupt officials." Yinhu wanted to do something, and at the same time, because of the rectification of the Eight Banners this time, he looked at the corrupt officials who were arrested one by one. Official, there was a burst of pleasure in his heart.He didn't know why he was like this, but he was still very satisfied with that feeling of satisfaction and refreshment.

Yinzhen said, "What about the Eight Banners?"

"It's already seven or eighty-eight, and now it's just the finishing stage."

"You can give it to the ninth and tenth brothers."

"Yes, Xiao Ba is right. It's time for the ninth and tenth younger brothers to exercise well. Yinzhen has basically listed the remaining things, and it's still left for Huang Ama to think about how to deal with it."

Many Eight Banners disciples were dispatched to the border army, and it was impossible not to suffer for a period of time, and those leisurely disciples were either ordered to stay at home to study, or were sent to study how to make crops more harvestable. many.It was Yinzhen who could think of so many strange punishments, Yinhu did not let Yinzhen make the decision, he also proposed to send some people to learn from the craftsmen, and these people will come in handy when there is a shortage of people.

"This is to tell Huang Ama, as long as Huang Ama agrees." Yinzhen doesn't know what Kangxi means. The Yellow River has not been effective for many years. I'm afraid he had something on his mind to rectify the officials there early in the morning. It's just the officials in the capital. There are many things, and the border has been reporting urgently so it has not been dealt with.

Kangxi was silent for a while after hearing Yinzhen and Yinhu's words, and he said: "The matter of the Yellow River is not as simple as you two think, it looks like you have already looked for Yinfeng before, and he asked you to come and find him." mine!"

"Huang Ama is holy." Yinzhen and Yinhu said in unison.

"The matter of the Yellow River is intertwined. It is not as simple as you want to rectify the Eight Banners." Kangxi said solemnly: "The reason why you have made the matter of the Eight Banners so smooth and let those people listen to you easily is that besides Zhen's assistance, Yinfeng is also I have helped you a lot secretly."

Yinhu was a little surprised in his heart. He always thought that Kangxi was helping them, but he never thought that Yinrong was also helping them deal with it.And Yinzhen had a feeling early in the morning that Yinreng would not stand idly by, so he was not surprised to hear Kangxi's words.Yinreng has been thinking about rectifying the Eight Banners since he returned to Beijing from the expedition to Galdan, and Yinzhen has heard him mention it several times occasionally, so Yinzhen doesn't think there is any problem.

In the end, Kangxi agreed with Yinzhen and Yinhu to go to the Yellow River to control the water, and attack those corrupt officials along the way. I don't know why he was so relieved of the two of them to go, but just sent a few officials to go together.

Although Yinfeng didn't know how Yinzhen and Yinhu persuaded Kangxi, the trip to the Yellow River was extremely dangerous.He is also lacking in skills. Tsarist Russia has begun to gather troops to station troops on the border of the Qing Dynasty.This news will reach the capital in less than three days, and he will probably have to deal with it with all his strength, and there is really no way to get away and take care of the two of them.

"Be careful all the way. If something happens, don't rush forward."

"Second brother, Yinzhen knows and will be careful in everything."

"Brother Prince, thank you."

Yinzhen Yinhu and several officials left Beijing in a very low-key manner. They were going to investigate the facts of the Yellow River, not to enjoy themselves.If they set out with great fanfare, those local officials would definitely have prepared early in the morning. On the contrary, they would definitely be able to dig up a lot of information through such secret visits now.

Guan Rongqi started to deploy early in the morning, and this time he also wanted to go with him, and he also wanted to see how those weapons were used on the battlefield.If this battle is fought well, the N.B.Chu.Treaty. Treaty will be officially torn up.

Yinfeng didn't know why Guan Rongqi was so obsessed with the sovereignty of Lake Baikal, but Lake Baikal was originally the territory of the Qing Dynasty.If Lake Baikal can be recovered smoothly at this opportunity, then Tsarist Russia will definitely be defeated, and it has shocked overseas. What is the ability of the Qing Dynasty?

The news of Tsarist Russia gathering troops at the border came to the capital, which made the originally chaotic capital fall into silence for a while.Many ministers had their own differences, and it was also at this time that Guan Rongqi, Fuquan, Chang Ning, Jie Shu, and Yinfeng jointly submitted a memorial to Kangxi for a war.

Tsarist Russia has not invaded the land of the Qing Dynasty once and a half, and the Nanibutu Treaty should be torn up after it was completed.Originally, the signing of the Treaty of Nerchinsk was intended to value peace. Unexpectedly, Tsarist Russia repeatedly invaded and should not continue to tolerate it. Instead, it should take this opportunity to demonstrate the power of the Qing Dynasty and its weapons.

Kangxi considered for a long time, and finally agreed to go out to destroy the prestige of Tsarist Russia.Jie Shu, Chang Ning, and Fu Quan were appointed as generals, and Jie Shu was ordered to take care of the food and grass of the three armies. Responsible for weapons storage.

This time the Kangxi faction did not have many soldiers and horses, and many people were still wondering. The completion of the red cannon undoubtedly increased the power of this war.The name "Red Clothes Cannon" was given by Kangxi himself. He hoped that the cannon would be successful and help the Qing Dynasty win over Tsarist Russia in one fell swoop.

Regarding the Treaty of Nerchinsk, Kangxi did not intend to follow the provisions of the above treaty. Since Tsarist Russia wanted to go to war with the Qing Dynasty, he would stand to the end to see who is the overlord of this land.

Kangxi was ill this time, although his body was still very weak, but his spirit was not bad at all.He knew that this illness could not defeat him, and that the appearance of batches of new weapons in this war would make the whole battle situation different.

In fact, when batches of weapons began to be shipped to the battlefield, the entire Qing Dynasty was a little shocked.I didn't expect that there would be so many arquebus guns, and they were even more sophisticated than those of foreigners. Moreover, many soldiers were equipped with musket guns, and some were equipped with new types of explosives, which was unprecedented for everyone.

Coupled with the red-clothed cannons being transported to the border, everyone was dumbfounded, and there was a vague sense of excitement.And those soldiers who had been trained rigorously early in the morning were even more energetic, waiting to fight the army of Tsarist Russia.

Yinzhen and Yinhu also heard about the expedition in the Yellow River, and they took the time to search for evidence.They can't hold back, they don't believe that they can't find out the group of magistrates who have pocketed their own money.The Yellow River was flooding and the people were in dire straits, but it was not enough for so many refugees to flood into the capital.Instead of providing disaster relief, those local officials encouraged those merchants to hoard rice.The two of them looked very angry, but also a little helpless.

Both Yinfeng and Guan Rongqi were full of confidence in this battle, and they were just waiting for a big victory over Tsarist Russia.Moreover, they have a lot of information about Tsarist Russia. This battle is mainly to renegotiate the treaty, so they have to cede land and pay compensation.It's not that the Qing Dynasty was timid and didn't want to fight Tsarist Russia, but the war would empty the treasury and make the surrounding civilians suffer.

They are bound to win this battle.
