Chapter 254 Is this polite?
guessed wrong?
Kangxi frowned and listened attentively, hoping that the little guy could reveal a little more.
Don’t tell me the result. Don’t tell me the result.
The little guy has a good memory and is very talkative.
[In the fifty-fourth year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi, Tsewang Arabtan sent troops to the five forts in the northern border of Xikihami. In the fifty-sixth year, he sent Da Tsering Dundub with 6,000 troops to set out from the Ili River Valley, pass through Hotan, capture Lhasa, and kill Lazang Khan.]
[In the first year of Yongzheng's reign, he supported Luobo Zangjindan in launching a rebellion in Qinghai.]
[In the third year of Yongzheng's reign, Yongzheng negotiated peace with Tsewang Arabtan, and the two sides demarcated the border.]
[In the fifth year of Yongzheng's reign, Tsewang Arabtan died, and his eldest son Galdan Tseren succeeded him...]
It turned out that it started from the invasion of Tsewang Arabtan and continued until his death.
It is really simple, and the key is really the key.
This left Kangxi speechless.
After a long time, I silently comforted myself: Very good, this is very good.
Although he failed to show off, he successfully learned about some of the bandits' subsequent actions, so he can take precautions in advance and eliminate the war before it becomes apparent!
This, can be considered as a starting point for further discussion, right?
Next…
Kangxi gave a subtle signal to the eldest prince, the fourteenth prince and other princes who had repeatedly volunteered to fight. He told them to keep up the good work and if they made significant achievements, they would be entrusted with important tasks when the war broke out.
No fishing this time!
He really keeps his word and always keeps his word.
But reputation is always a consumable. Once it is used up, it is difficult to replenish.
He had shouted like this the last time in the Qianqing Palace, causing the eldest and fourteenth princes, who had originally intended to stop, to forget their sense of propriety and fight from the afternoon until dark.
It was exhausting.
The results of it?
Not only did he fail to get the command of the troops as he wished, he was also scolded.
Ha ha.
His Majesty is extremely wise and powerful.
The on-the-spot performance can dig a huge pit for Tsewang Arabtan for thousands of years. He directly invited them into the trap and vowed to make them never return.
He has made great contributions, worked hard and has great wisdom. Who cares about the life and death of the tool brother?
Do you want to do the same thing again now?
Anyway, the eldest prince and the fourteenth prince won’t fall for that trick!
But they are not fooled. They would not mind the fishy smell even if they eat a hundred beans.
The fifth, seventh and thirteenth princes were very active.
The Fifth Prince frowned slightly, paced in front of the map, and looked like he wanted to say something but stopped. After being named by his father, he spoke freely: "Khalkha Mongolia is indeed the enemy's dream, but in my humble opinion, there is the lesson of Galdan. The enemy soldiers may not dare to go straight to Khalkha. Hami, which is closer, and Tibet, which is more connected to the enemy's territory, are more likely to become the enemy's target."
Yeah.
Yin Xuan's eyes sparkled, and he quickly interrupted: "I didn't realize it until I heard what Fifth Brother said. Now that I heard what Fifth Brother said, I also think this is very likely!"
[So send the troops! Give the orders!]
[In the name of defense, let's wait and see. Give them a head-on blow, a crushing firepower coverage. Let them know that we also have flintlock rifles, which can fire farther, more accurately, and more continuously.]
[Come on, we should have defeated the Dzungars during the reign of Emperor Kangxi, and made it impossible for them to organize an effective resistance. Then General Zhaohui wouldn’t have to work so hard to level the wheels, and it wouldn’t have to be like this…]
What's the problem?
Which wheel should be leveled?
Why do you need to level the wheels?
Kangxi and the other princes pricked up their ears, while the Seventh Prince and the Tenth Prince kept asking for favors, just to give their good younger brother a chance to let his mind wander.
When Yinzhen thought of Zhaohui, he was indeed very sad: [He defeated the Dzungars and pacified the Jinchuan. General Zhaohui led his army to conquer an entire province, making him the general who recovered the most territory in history. But even though he also recovered Xinjiang, his popularity is far lower than Zuo Zongtang, because he was too ruthless, which was not conducive to unity!]
[There is a video on a certain audio channel about how Qianlong's nephew hated the Junggars for their repeated rebellions and wanted to exterminate their descendants. He ordered the killing of all the male members of the tribe who were taller than the wheels. Although I haven't found any relevant historical records about the story, there was definitely a lot of clicking.]
[A conservative estimate is several hundred thousand.]
[There was also the Battle of Heishuiying, where they were trapped for three months. When Qianlong's nephew asked him how he solved the problem of food and grass, his words "I would eat the flesh of the barbarians even if I was hungry" should have been literal.]
What what? ? ?
Kangxi and the other princes were all shocked: Qianlong, who claimed to emulate Khanfa and be a benevolent monarch and called himself the Ten Perfect Men, actually issued such a cruel order?
That Wuya family's Zhao Hui actually...
He is indeed a tough guy in Xiao Shiba’s eyes!
This was so shocking that it made Emperor Kangxi tremble with fear. Of course, what troubled them even more was what Yinzhen said about the repeated rebellions of the Junggar tribe.
When we have a private meeting behind his back, we can't help but discuss this matter.
First, Kangxi sighed and set the tone: "It is easy to defeat the Dzungar Khanate. I personally led the army three times and forced Galdan to commit suicide. The results were brilliant. But in just over ten years, Tsewang Arabtan has revived like a weed in the spring breeze."
"If we don't solve this problem, we will never be able to completely solve the problem of Dzungar!"
Yes.
The original Qianlong in the historical line completely solved this problem, but it was too bloody and violent, which was not only against the harmony of nature. With the Dzungar Khanate, there was also a natural barrier against Tsarist Russia.
If we really take the initiative and completely demolish it, it will be like making things easier for the enemy!
Faced with this dilemma, the fourth prince, who had been promoted to Prince Yong, calmly uttered four words: "Reform the natives and return to the officialdom."
Kangxi was delighted when he heard this: "Yes! The policy of changing the natives into officials is very good and effective. It has turned many formerly controlled territories into the actual territories of the Qing Dynasty. I was so eager to transfer you back to preside over the tax-tax system that I forgot about such a powerful weapon."
The Fourth Prince smiled and said that it was not too late to think about it now.
Anyway, the war hasn't started yet, so Khan Ama has plenty of time to figure out how to make this thing perfect.
Yeah.
Kangxi agreed with a smile on his face.
The Ninth Prince added: "In the original history, they frequently made trouble because they relied on advanced firearms and the internal strife in our court to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble. Now our firearms are stronger than theirs, our food and wages are more abundant, and we have more soldiers than them. Even if they want to make trouble, it will be difficult for them to stir up any waves, so they will naturally be much more obedient."
Of course, in order to make this peace come more thoroughly and directly.
The Ninth Prince said that he would be involved in maritime trade in the future, and he would need a lot of labor, such as the stevedores who stayed at the dock, the men who sailed with the ship, and so on.
Take away half or even two-thirds of the young and strong men of the Junggar tribe, so that they will not have the strength to be arrogant even if they want to!
Tsewang Arabtan: ???
The war hasn't even started yet, and you've already started studying how to deal with prisoners of war?
Is this polite?
