Killing the Son-in-law
In the thirty-fifth year of Kangxi's reign, in 1696 AD, during the Battle of Zhaomodo, Galdan's entire army was wiped out and fled back to Junggar. The Manchu-Mongolian coalition won a complete victory. Haifeng also gained accurate information before he dared to set off to work for the army.
She was eight months pregnant at the time, when she suddenly encountered a surprise attack by Junggar cavalry on the road. The carriage was frightened and ran wildly. She had a miscarriage, which caused severe labor bleeding.
As the saying goes, you can live longer than you can live. Coupled with the lack of medical treatment and medicine in the army, she decided to save her child's life first, but she eventually died of excessive blood loss.
She didn't know what happened next.
"Uncle, did Dobu say when he was killed in battle in his last life?"
"He said that in the thirty-sixth year of Kangxi's reign, during the third battle against Galdan, both men and horses were hit by artillery."
Haifeng's heart sank a little deeper with this answer.
According to history, if there are three expeditions to Galdan, this one should be the last one.
The battle with Zhaomodo was only a year away, and Junggar's vitality was severely damaged. So the last battle should be like Tang Wo Xue, a quick battle. How could it be so fierce that it would destroy He Shuo's brother-in-law?
Dobu's prestige in the military, his talent in developing firearms, his resourcefulness, and his martial arts...
The most terrifying thing is that at that time, he was only twenty-one years old, and his future was unlimited.
When he had Junggar as his opponent, he was Kangxi's sharp sword.
What if Junggar is gone?
The birds are gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooked.
Kangxi probably would not be happy to see the Tuxie Tuhan tribe growing stronger under the leadership of Duobu.
Moreover, if the daughter is dead, will the son-in-law still be loyal?
Chahar's rebellion must never be repeated.
The son she worked so hard to give birth to would become an excellent puppet.
Kangxi would raise him in a deep palace and ask him to admire his grandfather and stay away from the grassland...
When he reaches an appropriate age, he will provide his grandson with a noble marriage, a title, and a house.
Haifeng suddenly remembered that Abnai, the posthumous son of Lin Dan Khan and the remarried husband of Princess Wenzhuang.
There were also those who were sacrificed under Kangxi, including his consort Wu Yingxiong and Princess Jianning’s two children.
If the son was a pleasure seeker, he might still be able to save his life.
But what if, like Duobu, he has great talents and strategies, and his heart is as high as the sky?
Will Kangxi also imprison him until his death?
After all, as a father, Kangxi imprisoned all deposed princes.
This is the royal family, there is no blood thicker than water, there is only a game of power.
In the hot summer weather, Hai Feng was so cold that he shivered all over.
No, she wants to keep Duobu and her hard-won home.
Then, she must go to Mulan this year.
There, a major event may happen that will affect the outcome of Kowloon's battle for the throne.
That was the first time she realized clearly that there was no way the prince would ascend the throne.
Because the seizure of the throne in Kowloon had not officially begun, he gave Mongolia's support, that is, the goodwill of Princess Duan Min, to his brothers.
In the previous life, Haifeng had a nickname, "Little Duan Min".
The reason is that she, like Princess Duan Min who came to Horqin in marriage, married into a high family and was loved by her husband. There were no side rooms or concubines in the palace, not even a slave girl who could share the room and warm the bed.
Furthermore, both of them have been married for many years and have no children.
Haifeng didn't give birth because she didn't want to risk her immature body and tried her best to prevent pregnancy;
As for Princess Duan Min, she really couldn't give birth to her because of a close relative's marriage.
Princess Duanmin was born into a distinguished family. Her father was the son of Jierharang, Huang Taiji's cousin. Prince Zheng was the second head of the family, Jidu. Her mother was the direct descendant of the Borjijit family of Fujin. She was the biological sister of the current Queen Mother. Her younger brother Horqin was Xiaozhuang.
Daughter of Belchurzi.
The Queen Mother and her sister Concubine Tuan had been widowed since the day they entered the palace. How could they possibly have children, so they took their sister's daughter, Princess Duan Min, into the palace to raise her.
Princess Duan Min relied on her noble status and was looked down upon by no one, including Kangxi. Because her biological mother was only a Han military flag and was from a humble background.
In the previous life, Haifeng often went to Shoukang Palace to please the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was more tolerant than strict, so her palace was like a sieve, and she could hear all kinds of rumors and gossips.
For example, Emperor Shunzhi's three elder brothers sometimes came to pay their respects to the Queen Mother. Princess Duanmin, who lived here, only said hello to Prince Yu Fuquan in return, because his biological mother, Concubine Ning Mi, was Dong E's family, an Eight Banner noble; Kangxi and Kangxi who were born in Han Dynasty
Prince Gong Chang Ning came, but she didn't even wink and pretended not to see him.
The Queen Mother probably had no experience raising children for the first time, so she didn't stop her.
The relationship between Kangxi and the Queen Mother has been tepid over the years, and Princess Duan Min probably has a share of the 'credit' for this.
When Princess Duanmin was seven years old, Xiaozhuang's younger brother Manzhu Xili came to Beijing to pay her respects, and by the way, he arranged a marriage for his grandson Bandi. In other words, Princess Duanmin was only seven years old and had already been finalized.
For the future mistress of Horqin Grassland.
Originally, if she wanted to truly take power, she would have to wait until her husband ascended to the title of prince, which would have to wait until she was forty or fifty years old. But Princess Duan Min didn't know whether she was lucky or not. During the ten years she was about to get married,
My future father-in-law and grandfather Manzhu Xili both passed away.
In the ninth year of Kangxi, she married Horqin at the age of seventeen. No elder in the tribe could suppress her, and her husband had become the Prince of Darhan and was completely obedient to her.
Princess Duan Min holds real power and becomes increasingly arrogant and domineering. Hai Feng can hear her "glorious deeds" in Mobei.
But such a person was infertile for a long time. She also did not allow her husband to marry a child, which caused a lot of discussion among the tribes in Mongolia.
Three years ago, the 28-year-old Princess Duan Min finally gave birth to a son.
The prince actually caused the death of this child just this year.
Duobu had never had much trouble with the prince. In his previous life, Haifeng thought that the prince would fall anyway, so he didn't take it to heart.
Perhaps it was this slackness that cost her husband his life.
Can she take advantage of this child's accident to gain some political resources to protect herself?
"Please pass this to Dobu."
Master Lobsang Dambe Gyaltsen took a look at the purse handed over by Haifeng and found that inside it was the ancient Buddha's jade pendant that had returned to Zhao intact, as well as a lock of black hair.
"Feng'er will never forget the love he had for marrying Duobu when he was young. I am also willing to be like him and grow old together for the rest of my life. It is for this reason that I can't run away hastily now. I want to marry in a grand manner and be his legitimate wife.
The only wife I have is not asking him to choose between the responsibility of the Khan and the love of two people. I want him to have both the country and the beauty. So I decided to make the decision on Mulan."
"Of course I believe you, but Duobu..."
Haifeng couldn't help but become anxious.
"If it doesn't work, just wake him up. If we want to meet each other, how can we get married? I'm just afraid that he will be bored. It's only been six years, so what's the rush? We are still in the bodies of children, can we be husband and wife?
? Let him keep his heart in his belly. When the time comes, I will take my BMW, fertile land, and Kangxi’s love and trust, and travel ten miles to find him!"
