In the evening, the autumn wind is bleak.

Wuying Palace.

Hongli, who had a pale face and a tired face, looked at His Highness who was also a sad minister, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Is there anyone here that can really share my worries? In the end, I'm afraid I'll make my own decisions"

When his eyes were fixed on Agui, the military aircraft chief minister, who was nearly 70 years old, his irritable heart comforted him a little.

"It's still my Manchu man who can share my worries. Agui is a good at fighting and is not inferior to government affairs."

Suddenly he thought of something, and his face turned paler.

"Damn it!"

It turned out that a certain Hui people sect in Qinghai and Gansu also began to rebel and caused great damage to the Hehuang Valley. They originally wanted Agui to lead troops to wipe out, but compared with Truqin, this Hui people was not worth worrying about.

"Emperor!"

While he was thinking about it, A Guicang's old but powerful voice sounded like a bell and drum in the hall, bringing him back to reality.

Hongli straightened his body, took a deep breath, and a blush appeared on his face in an instant. From a distance, he looked like he was full of energy, but in fact it was caused by excessive worry and anger, vomiting blood, and coughing.

"Start"

He tried to lower his throat, showing that he was still full of energy.

As his most trusted minister, Agui obviously knew the truth and reality of the emperor. He knew that today's court meeting must not let the emperor talk more, and he will preside over the meeting most of the time.

"Yes"

Agui, whose hair and beard are white, has a rosy complexion and still has a strong body. He doesn't seem to see a trace of old age on him.

He first bowed to the emperor, then took a few steps forward, and then turned around suddenly. Only then did he find that there were three princes standing between the ministers and him. He suddenly felt a sudden stern and quickly bowed to them again.

They are:

Forty-year-old Prince Yi Yongxuan;

34-year-old Prince Cheng Yongyan;

Twenty-six-year-old Prince Jia Yongyan (Jiaqing).

Although Emperor Qianlong had many descendants, most of them died one step ahead of him. These three people are now built and named Prince.

These three were in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of War, and Ministry of Rites as Manchus. These three were naturally also in the Han Dynasty. Among them, Yong Yan’s literary name was quite famous and was also one of the Ministers of Military Affairs.

"Three princes, ministers, you know the situation. How many troops of Truqin's thieves divided into groups to invade our Qing territories? Why do you want to deal with it? Please speak freely"

Although there are many ministers present, except for A Gui and the three princes, namely the current Minister of War Fu Kang'an, Minister of Revenue Dong Gao, and Minister of Justice Mingliang have the right to speak.

Mingliang is Fu Kang'an's brother, and his military ability is not inferior to him, but he is obviously not as favored as him. However, Fu Cha Yi and the two brothers are actually among the six ministers. Of course, it is not Hongli because they are their relatives (they are the nephews of the late queen).

But because they are all real talents and can not only command the army, but also handle government affairs. Hongli obviously trained these two brothers as A Gui's successor.

As for the reason why Dong Gao, who was born in Tanhualang, has the right to speak mainly because he is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue. He fights finances in wars, and he still has no money to fight.

The other is Wang Jie, the minister of military affairs. Hongli values ​​him not because he is the Minister of Rites and is in charge of foreign affairs, but because he is loyal and upright, and he is not a party. At present, Heshen is at its peak. Almost no one except Agui dares to provoke him, but Wang Jie dares.

In addition, today's court meeting, the three major camps near the capital: Tongzhou Daying, Fengtai Daying, and Miyun Daying are also in charge. These three are newly appointed, and Agui personally suggested that they are all famous Manchu and Mongolian generals who have made great contributions in the battle against the chieftains and the White Lotus Sect.

He is also a person who was "graphical purple light pavilion" by Hongli.

They are:

Delentai, general manager of Fengtai Daying, deputy commander of the Mongolian Zhenghuang Banner;

Eledenbao, general manager of Tongzhou Daying, deputy chief of the Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner;

Lebao, general manager of Miyun Camp, deputy chief of the Manchurian Red Flag.

These three people were in their forties and fifties. They were young and strong. They had served as governors, governors, admirals of one province or several provinces, or generals in the city. They were suddenly transferred back to the capital to serve as the chief manager of the three major camps, showing Hongli's concerns about the current situation.

Although the Truqin army currently occupies Beitang Port and the nearby ten miles, it has not yet taken the next move, so the general managers of the three major camps have the opportunity to attend the meeting.

Among the three, Delentai and Eredenbo are all famous for their courage, but only Lebao is known for his wisdom.

Sure enough, as soon as Agui finished speaking, Lebao looked around and thought that he could only say it first, and it was impossible for the Holy Respect to prosper and prosperity. Mingliang and others to speak first. The Han ministers were all civil servants. Apart from being straightforward and introverted, and literary talent and literary style, they knew nothing about military affairs. It was just a waste of time to say it.

"Emperor, Prince, Lord, let's talk first"

After seeing Agui's encouraging eyes, Lebao said: "Although the barbarian thieves have come a few ways, the most urgent thing is the Tianjin journey. At present, they have 70,000 troops, so I really don't dare to underestimate them. In the past, my three camps each had about 50,000 troops, and after the advice of foreigners, they each eliminated 20,000 people, but now there are only 30,000 people left."

"If anything else, the Tongzhou camp is the first to be hit. If the barbarian thieves come in full swing, the Tongzhou camp may not be able to withstand the benefits of their firearms. Tongzhou also controls the main channels of the canal transport. Once this place falls, the barbarian thieves can use their water advantages to reach the capital!"

"According to the last general's understanding, the barbarian thief has installed that steam engine on a flatbed in recent years, so the Grand Canal can be easily moved..."

Agui said: "What about your suggestions?"

Lebao said: "There are fewer barbarians in Guangzhou, Jiangnan and Northeast China, so don't worry about it at first, but the barbarians gathered so many troops here, which obviously has hidden evil intentions and have to be guarded."

"So, I will recommend that you give up the three camps and let them all retreat into the capital to assist in defense..."

As soon as these words came out, there was a buzz in the hall, and it was obvious that I was very dissatisfied with his suggestion.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

What Lebao originally wanted to say was that the three major camps were the major camps. In fact, when facing Truqin, which had powerful firearms, there was almost no defense. It was better to retreat into the tall and strong capital city of the city wall to strengthen its defense.

But if he said this, he would inevitably be criticized by the corrupt scholars of the Censorate, but with the vision of Agui, the foreman, must be aware of it.

Sure enough, as soon as these words were said, several civil officials immediately came out to accuse him of loud criticism. Obviously, they were all Manchus, so Han people naturally did not dare to do so. Who dared to provoke a deputy governor of the Manchu Red Flag in vain?

The deputy commander actually exercises the power of the commander, because the commander is the position of the commander, the prince, and the prince, and the bell, and he does not care about the matter at all.

Agui glared at these people, they were startled and immediately turned back.

Mingliang said: "What Lord Lebao said is very much. It is not that my Qing Dynasty Manchu cavalry was afraid of barbarian thieves, but that the barbarian thieves' firearms were too powerful. The troops of the three major battalions have just been reorganized. Although they have become troops, if they fight with barbarian thieves in the wild, they may not be able to catch them."

"However, there are many barbarian cavalry, and there are also many reconnaissance cavalry in the wild. In addition to the secret spies from all over the country, once my three camps are mobilized, they will definitely not be able to escape their eyes and ears"

"Therefore, I suggest that the people who were eliminated from the three camps were incorporated into the infantry commander's office, but they were actually staying at home. It would be better to take advantage of the night to let these people return to the three camps and replace the elites who had trained in the three camps"

"In order not to let barbarian thieves see the truth, these people can enter the three camps in the daytime and let the elite leave at night, which creates the illusion that we are constantly strengthening the defense of the three camps"

Agui asked: "There are a large number of artillery in the three major camps, and it is impossible to throw them all to the people in the infantry commander's yamen. Even if the noise is carried at night, it is definitely very great, and it is impossible for the barbarian thieves to not know it."

Mingliang nodded, "This section of the matter has already been thought of, nowadays, barbarian thieves are dredging the Ji Canal, and the Haihe River has been blocked by us for twenty miles. It will take at least a month to dredge it. Before, why don't we use ships to transport those artillery to the capital in advance?"

"In order to prevent the destruction of barbarian thieves, a large number of cavalry were sent to escort them during transportation. At night, they did not know the truth and would definitely not send a large number of cavalry to obstruct them."

"Also, each of my three camps has 10,000 elite cavalry. You should not be afraid of encountering barbarian thieves at night. According to the knowledge of Weichen, although the barbarian thieves' troops are all cavalry, only 30% of them can really fight. Moreover, they are extremely heavy on water, otherwise they would not have spent a lot of effort to dredge the canal."
