In February of the fifty-ninth year of Kangxi, the imperial court issued an imperial edict to the Governor of Sichuan, Nian Gengyao, to be the General of Dingxi. He left Sichuan and entered Tibet. General Yanxin, the general of Pingni, left Qinghai. The two groups met from Lali and went to Dingxi. To clarity. Thousands of miles away from Chengdu, Dajianlu is an important pass in Xikang. Dajianlu is adjacent to Lushui in the east, Danding Mountain in the west, and Xining in the north. It controls the throat of Sichuan and Tibet, and is also an important trade town for tea and horse trade. , has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. At this moment, Nian Gengyao's Chinese army tent was located here.
The place where the arrow stove is made is surrounded by snow peaks. The mountains are steep and the weather is cold and rainy. Nian Gengyao is sitting in the tent wearing a heavy cotton coat, smiling and warming his hands in front of the charcoal fire. After a long time, Only then did he look up at Yue Zhongqi, who was still standing in front of the map and thinking carefully. Seeing his good-looking appearance at that moment, Nian Gengyao couldn't help but shook his head, "What's not clear about this?" The wide and long handsome desk was covered with southwest On the geographical map of mountains and rivers in the five provinces, the distribution of garrison troops was marked with red ink dots on it, but looking at Yue Zhongqi, it didn't look like he was thinking about the deployment of troops. Moreover, with his current position as a deputy general, it is unlikely that he can exercise this power of consultation in front of Nian Gengyao. His thick eyebrows were furrowed, and he looked troubled. Suddenly, when he heard that Nian Gengyao came to ask her, Yue Zhongqi felt a little embarrassed for a moment: "The commander is far-sighted, Zhong Qi can't understand"
The Nian and Yue families have a deep connection. When Nian Gengyao was the governor of Sichuan, he had a good rapport with his father, Yue Shenglong, who was the governor at the time. They supported each other in official matters, but they were deeply involved in Yue Shenglong's affairs. When he participated in the impeachment, Nian Gengyao also made a strong recommendation in front of the emperor. When Yue Shenglong lost his sight and owed a huge sum of money during his tenure, Nian Gengyao made a personal confession to Kangxi and asked for permission to act on his behalf. In return, Prince Yong in Beijing was reprimanded for this matter. For this reason, Yue Shenglong appreciated Nian Gengyao's kindness and made his son respect him as a father; Nian Gengyao also treated Yue Zhongqi like his own nephew, always admonishing him in many ways both public and private. Yue Zhongqi was a son of a general, with a bright talent and an extraordinary life. He was quite outstanding in the army. In front of others, Yue Zhongqi was somewhat self-possessed, and no one truly convinced him. Only in front of Nian Gengyao, who was both his teacher and father, did he appear to be in awe.
"Then let's talk about your business first. You also know that this time the imperial army divided its forces and entered Tibet. General Yanxin left Qinghai and I left Sichuan. The two fronts attacked together in the hope of defeating the enemy. But if you hadn't attacked the western front first Litang and Batang are given, and I won¡¯t be able to come here to make arrow stoves so soon.¡± Nian Gengyao is now personally leading the military affairs, and his ambition is clearly demonstrated. His usual heroic temperament in the army Then it became more and more obvious. He always treated a junior like Yue Zhongqi without pretense, not to mention that the two of them were personally related, so there was no need for any evasion when speaking. He used a drill to stir the charcoal and said with a smile, "You have an opportunity this time. It is a good decision. It not only opens up the way for our army to enter Tibet, but also leaves no consequences. When it reaches the capital, it will also be exciting news. In the future, Lali will achieve a great victory. I will ask the emperor for you no matter what. Give me a reward."
"Thank you, Marshal! This time Zhong Qi also obeyed the authority urgently. Fa Dutong asked me to serve as the vanguard. Litang Diba refused to be appeased, and there was a danger of chaos. I really had no choice but to kill him. Fa Dutong I am dissatisfied with my doing whatever I want, but fortunately I have the commander-in-chief to look out for me But now, the commander-in-chief won't let him go to Tibet, for fear that the two things will be connected together and cause criticism" Yue Zhongqi is young after all, and is indispensable. Hearing Nian Gengyao's words, he was secretly happy because of his intense thoughts of retribution, but he still felt uneasy as he committed suicide without asking for permission.
"There is nothing wrong with killing chickens to scare monkeys. Since Farah has asked you to go, the power of 'camera, suppression, and pacification' will be yours when the war breaks out. The court's regulations do not restrict the generals who can only pacify but not suppress them. If it is delayed, Yesterday, I missed the military plane. Just watch, it's your fault." Nian Gengyao's eyes were filled with contempt. At this time, he had betrayed someone and had no scruples, so he said to Yue Zhongqi very affectionately. 'The commander-in-chief usually looks down on Fara -' Yue Zhongqi had this thought, but then listened to Nian Gengyao say, "However, it's not because of you that I don't let Fara lead troops into Tibet. He You know how capable I am when I have been leading Manchu soldiers in Chengdu for so many years. If I let him go because of his status as the commander of Manchuria, and the front army loses, I will be the first to be blamed by the emperor! As for whether there is any ginseng in it? I, you don¡¯t know the depth of being an official in the dynasty. How can there be an official in the dynasty who is not ginseng? Man said that I don¡¯t have any selfish intentions towards Fala, just that when the country appoints people to do things, the emperor knows that I am How can it be controlled by these words?"
Yue Zhongqi inherited the family tradition from his father, and had been promised to serve in the army since he was a child in order to achieve success. This was the first time he heard these words, and Yue Zhongqi had no reason to think about Nian Gengyao's idea of ??embodying the sacred heart with his own heart. I was full of envy, but I didn't dare to speak hastily. Seeing Yue Zhongqi just standing aside in silence, Nian Gengyao ignored him and just said to himself, "I really don't have any grudges against Farah. If you really want to say that I, Nian, have selfish motives, then that is The fate has fallen on you. How many years have you been serving as the deputy general of Yongning Association?It's been a while since you followed Garbi this time, and you should make a good living. As for Litang and Batang you mentioned earlier, I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a big deal. "
Yue Zhongqi was overjoyed at Nian Gengyao's promotion, and immediately thanked him. However, she was very puzzled by his carelessness, "Litang and Batang were originally from Lijiang, Yunnan. Now that the government has surrendered, I expect that some of the remaining locals are dissatisfied and will not cause any big trouble, so we can just hand them over. We were worried that we did not have enough troops when we entered Tibet. If there are more troubles with the garrison, wouldn't it be even more powerless to engage in battle with Ce Ni in the future? And we are still at odds with Governor Jiang over the transportation of grain and grass. In this way, we will not be able to communicate with the Yunnan and Guizhou areas Zhong Qi Yulu, I really don¡¯t understand why the commander-in-chief must transfer the jurisdiction of these two places to our Sichuan Province?¡±
Nian Gengyao didn't even think about it. He said calmly, "I had a conversation with the emperor that day and agreed that the three armies would enter Tibet and suppress them. Now, all the troops in Sichuan and Yunnan provinces are under my control. Those who enter Tibet will treat them as Sichuan." Soldiers are the main force, and the combined force is like an arm and a finger. This important transportation route for grain and fodder is very important, so why not be under the jurisdiction of Sichuan Province?" Seeing that Yue Zhongqi still looked confused, Nian Gengyao couldn't help but smile. , with a calm and complacent look on his face, "You only care about fighting, not civil affairs. Originally, Yunnan and Guizhou have a lot of barren land, and the treasury has been insufficient in the past years. Our Sichuan Province treasury can support Sichuan troops by itself. If we need more Where can we get the food and grass to help the Yunnan soldiers? Lijiang Prefecture is under the jurisdiction of the chieftain. What if something goes wrong? I don¡¯t feel at ease if I ask them to entrust them with the transportation!" With that, Nian Gengyao made a move. He tapped the edge of the fumigation cage with the iron drill, looked back at Yue Zhongqi and said, "Besides, I have already made grudges with Jiang Chenxi and Gan Guobi over this matter. Now at this critical moment, I can't care about that much. I'll finish the fight in the future." If you want to fight in Yunnan and Guizhou, I won't care about taking care of these two places."
