Chapter 280 Ah, My Eyes
Chapter 280 Ah, My Eyes
"No, no!" The Sixteenth Prince waved his hands again and again: "Brother, we must stop. If we continue like this, not only the ordinary soldiers, but even my younger brother will not be able to bear it."
Even if they arrive on schedule, there will inevitably be heavy casualties.
Before leaving, Khan Ama had repeatedly warned us that the number of soldiers in the Qing Dynasty could be reduced, but this kind of avoidable sacrifice was not allowed.
The eldest prince snapped his fingers on his forehead and said, "You little brat, are you trying to pressure me with Khan's order?"
How dare the Sixteenth Prince recognize him?
He hurriedly ran away with his head in his hands, saying "No, no, it's just a reminder, just a reminder" as he ran.
Be careful that Big Brother is busy with military affairs and may neglect something.
Ha ha.
The eldest prince sneered at him and beat him up.
Then he ordered the three armies to stop and rest.
reason?
Of course, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood.
No matter how fast the march is, as a general he cannot ignore the safety of his soldiers, right?
They still had to take a short rest to give the soldiers some time to adapt, and then let the accompanying military doctor take the soldiers' pulses and prepare medicine.
This two-pronged approach helps them adapt to altitude sickness as quickly as possible.
The young and adaptable Sixteenth Prince was already full of energy, looking around with the telescope given to him by his Eighteenth Brother.
Looking at the Himalayas that seemed to pierce the sky, the Sixteenth Prince was in awe of Fu Kang'an, the Emperor Qianlong, as mentioned by his Eighteenth Brother: "You don't know how severe altitude sickness is until you experience it. Only after experiencing it do you realize how severe Fu Kang'an was."
Cross the Himalayas!
Tsk.
After Huo Qubing, there were five other people who conquered the Wolf's Lair: Huo Qubing, Dou Xian, Li Jing, Lan Yu and Zhu Di.
The Wolf Mountain is located on the Mongolian grasslands, on the territory of the Qing Dynasty.
But so far, oh no, it should be said that until the Qianlong period, he had only heard of one person who crossed the Himalayas to fight, and that was Fu Kang'an.
Just thinking about it makes me feel honored that such an outstanding general belongs to their Qing Dynasty!
Hey.
The eldest prince was too lazy to look at his worthless virtue. He only studied the battle situation and thought about how to achieve better results on the basis of arriving a few days later.
Seeing that he was in great sorrow, his brows were twisted into the shape of a "川" character.
The Sixteenth Prince chuckled, "What's so difficult about this? Let's just launch a surprise attack on the Dzungar royal court! Think about it, Tsewang Arabtan is already being suppressed by Fu Ning'an, the Fourteenth Brother, Sister Kejing, and Brother-in-law Celeng. He is already depressed enough and even wants to back out."
"As a result, the divine soldiers descended from the sky to their royal court, burned their Khan's tent, and captured the Khan's mother and his wife and children. Hotan was lost, Yili was lost, Urumqi was lost... With all these bad news, would Tsewang Arabtan panic? Even if he had extraordinary self-control, what about the generals and soldiers under him?"
"Yes, I will!"
The eldest prince nodded affirmatively, with a smile growing in his eyes. He raised his hand and slapped the sixteenth prince, making him stagger: "Good boy, you are so sinister and wicked."
Sixteenth Prince: ???
Is there anyone who praises others like you?
Is there any?
The eldest prince was happy: "You may be young, but you have a bad temper. Don't be angry. If this plan works, I will write a memorial to the capital to ask for your merit. I will praise you carefully from head to toe. I will make Khan Amaron very happy and upgrade you to a Beile, okay?"
cough cough.
Once Kangxi's fair and just standard was announced and strictly implemented, the Sixteenth Prince and other young princes who had made little contribution were almost certain to be runners-up.
That is to say, when they were fifteen or sixteen, they had a close brother like Yinxuan who knew how to think about them.
As soon as he heard some news, he handed over the bicycle-related matters to them, which led to each of them getting the title of Gushan Beizi.
But my younger brother has already become a prince, so how can I, as an elder brother, not strive for progress?
Well, he didn't really care about the title and salary, etc. The main thing was that the difference was too big, and he was afraid that he would not be able to show off his brother's prestige in front of his younger brother in the future!
The eldest prince's condition was exactly what he wanted.
He nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Okay, okay, it's settled! I'll forgive you for now, and what happens next depends on your specific performance."
Hey!
You're threatening him as your elder brother, right?
The eldest brother laughed and rubbed his head again: "What a little brat you are, you are so childish from the inside out. Don't worry, since I brought you out, I won't let you go back empty-handed."
The Sixteenth Prince shook his head with great dignity: "No need!"
"Of course, I have to work hard and earn my own iron hat bit by bit."
The Sixteenth Prince chuckled, his eyes and brows, which were somewhat similar to Yinzhen's, were full of seriousness.
The eldest prince was filled with awe.
When he returned to the capital to write a memorial, he not only recorded every contribution of his sixteenth brother in detail.
I also did not forget to commend his ambition and determination.
Kangxi was so amused by what he saw that he even took some time off to go to Concubine Mi's palace to read with his beloved concubine the praises for the Sixteenth Prince in the eldest prince's letter.
But this really moved the Empress Mi, who had been living in fear ever since her son went on the expedition, and had been praying to gods for protection all day long, and had copied so many volumes of scriptures that she didn't even know how many volumes she had.
Tears welled up in her eyes immediately. "Don't be afraid of your ridicule, Your Majesty. Ever since the Eighteenth Prince studied under Masters Huang and Dai at a young age and made great achievements, I have been happy and nervous. I am proud of the Eighteenth Prince's outstanding performance, but I am also worried about the imbalance between the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Princes."
After all, we are from the same mother!
My younger brother has already become a prince, and my two older brothers are still Beizi or something like that...
The gap is already huge, and the teenagers have strong self-esteem.
As a mother, aren't you afraid that they will get too obsessed with something?
"Fifteen is lazy and easy-going. Sixteen, on the other hand, has been smart and motivated since childhood, and he refuses to lag behind in schoolwork. He always regards himself as a role model for his younger brothers, but suddenly he is surpassed by Eighteen. I am a little scared."
How about not saying that it is impossible to write a book without coincidence?
Concubine Mi was talking to Kangxi about the three brothers, and Yinzhen, one of the parties involved, came over to present flowers. He was so carefree that he drove straight in and saw the scene of the emperor and concubine hugging each other: [Ahhhh, my eyes~ wuwuwu, I am not clean anymore! ]
The little guy screamed in his heart, threw away the vase and covered his eyes.
Well, the kind where you cover your hand but with your fingers wide open.
He was actually peeking openly at her, and he was clicking his tongue in his heart while watching. It was a pity that his beautiful mother, who was so beautiful, had to give herself to an old man.
Kangxi was so angry that he almost couldn't help but say, "If it weren't for an old man like me, there would be a little bastard like you."
But in the end, reason overcame impulse, and he only attacked the brat's pain points: "Xiao Shiba, shouldn't you be at the Ministry of War or Mr. Huang's place at this time? At the very least, you should go to Wu Yi Zhai to study hard! How do you still have time to pick flowers in the Imperial Garden?"
