Having tasted the power of the Ming army's chariot formation, Doni did not dare to rush directly into the formation, but sent cavalry everywhere to harass the Ming army. Zhu Hengjia also saw the power of the Qing army's cavalry, with deep ditches and high bases, and they defended the camp. The two sides slowly and slowly
The confrontation lasted for half a month, and no one could do anything to anyone.
In the Ming army's tent, Emperor Guangwu felt sad, "Oh! I regret that I should have agreed to Doni's son to come to the plains to fight the prisoners. Now we are in a dilemma, what can we do? What can we do?"
Zheng Feng smiled and said: "Your Majesty, in the past two years, there have been disasters in the north. Our army has far more food and grass than the Qing captives. If the delay continues, the Qing captives will definitely lose their food and grass. It should be Duni who should be anxious. Why are you getting anxious instead?"<
/p>
"Zheng Qing doesn't know something. What I'm worried about is not food and grass, but the tiger in the west! If time goes on, I'm afraid the tiger will eat people."
The tiger refers to Gushi Khan of the Heshuote Khanate who was entrenched in Qinghai-Tibet. Thinking of the existence of this evil neighbor in the west, Emperor Guangwu became restless, fearing that if the war between himself and the Qing Dynasty dragged on for too long, he would be taken advantage of.
Come in empty.
Although before the Northern Expedition, he had ordered the Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, Wen Anzhi, and the Governor of Sichuan, Chen Bangyan, to strictly guard the borders of Yunnan and Sichuan, he was really unsure whether these two could stop Gushi Khan's army.
"Report, urgent report from Governor Wen'an of Yunnan and Guizhou!"
Talking about Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. He was thinking about Wen Anzhi, so Wen Anzhi was rushed eight hundred miles away.
Could it be that Gushi Khan invaded eastward?
Zhu Hengjia's heart trembled, and he forced himself to calm down and opened the memorial that Wen Anzhi had sent urgently.
"Wen'an, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, urgently reports on the death of Heshuote Gushi Khan: Your Majesty has descended from heaven to be a holy king, God bless him. Your Majesty is talented in making decisions and has unparalleled martial arts, so he can get help from the universe. Chief Hu will perish without a fight.
.This month, the banquets in the Lhasa Khan's court stopped, and the people were dressed in black, sitting in coffins, and the sound of mourning moved the sky. I sent people to find out that Gushi Khan of the Heshuote tribe died. Since he succeeded to the throne, the slaves
Yan Shiqing, ambitious and ruthless, annexed the weak, expanded territory, harassed the borders, and plundered the population and wealth. He was a rare and powerful enemy in the Celestial Dynasty! In the past, the Fuxi family ruled the world, and dragons and horses came out of the river; Dayu controlled the floods, and the turtles carried inscriptions. Today Hu
It is also a good omen that the chieftain died on the occasion of His Majesty's Northern Expedition. What the heaven and earth bestows on people as life is called life span; what is bestowed upon a sage as a career is called destiny. The destiny is in your majesty, so his life ends. Fu Wei
Your Majesty expelled the Tartars, restored China, and created the civil and military achievements of Yao, Shun, Yu, and Tang Dynasties. The clan and society are very fortunate! The world is very fortunate! I have my own family background for this, and I would like to congratulate Your Majesty."
Is Gushi Khan dead? A generation of tigers with great talent and sagacity is actually dead? Zhu Hengjia couldn’t believe it, he was so happy that he wanted to laugh. Thinking about it, he couldn’t laugh. He was gloating over misfortunes and being unkind. He was a dignified emperor of the Celestial Dynasty, and he did things
You have to be magnanimous. You can’t laugh!
He suppressed his smile, pretended to be deeply sad, and sighed: "This Gushi Khan was also a great leader of his generation, and he passed away like this. It is a pity." He also wrote in Wen Anzhi's memorial: "
Knowing that, Cheng Yuan, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, rushed to Lhasa to express his condolences."
"God helps Your Majesty, so the Northern Expedition is worry-free." He Wuzou, Zheng Feng, Liu Maoxia and others all congratulated Zhu Hengjia.
Zhu Hengjia laughed, "In this way, I will spend my time between Liuhe and Qinglu, but I want to see who can spend more than the other. Hahaha!"
"Your Majesty, I have a plan to make the Qing captives collapse immediately without a fight." Zheng Feng smiled.
"Oh, Zheng Qing, tell me."
"All the grain and grass of the Qing captives are in the Fengji warehouse in Qingjiangpu, Huai'an Prefecture. Sun Gui's navy can be ordered to land at Qingjiangpu and burn down the Fengji warehouse. The Qing captives will be defeated."
"Oh, Zheng Qing, I have also thought of this. Sun Gui's navy went north along the canal many times, but Li Qifeng, the commander-in-chief of Yangzhou in the Qing Dynasty, built a large number of forts in Jiangdu and along the coast of Gaoyou, so warships could not enter the canal at all." There is a canal between the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, and Hongze Lake is connected. Fengjicang is located at the northern end of the canal in Qingjiangpu, Huai'an Prefecture, close to the Yellow River. It is one of the four famous warehouses along with Xuzhou's Guangyuncang, Dezhou's Dezhou Cang, and Linqing's Linqing Cang.
One of the granaries. During the grain transportation season, more than 10,000 watercrafts transport the capital from Pubei, Qingjiang, to the capital, known as the "granary of the world".
"Your Majesty," Zheng Feng smiled mischievously, "It is difficult to enter Qingjiangpu from the Yangtze River. Why not ask Sun Gui to go around a little further and enter Qingjiangpu from the Yellow River?"

In the Lhasa Khan Court, Gushi Khan Borji Jin and Tulu Baihu are returning to the embrace of Changshengtian. This great Khan of Mongolia in the desert took over a mess at a young age. Internally, the Heshuote Department's strength after internal strife
After a great decline, the Junggar tribe was arrogant and arrogant; externally, there were the Khalkha Mongols in the east, the Kazakh Khanate in the west, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate in the south, and Tsarist Russia in the north, and there were many powerful enemies.
Lengshi conquered the sky and defeated Kazakh Khan, Quitu Khan, Baili Tusi, Zangba Khan and other powerful enemies one after another, and established a huge khanate including Qinghai, Tibet, Kazakhstan, and the northern and southern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains.
"Everyone, please come in, the Great Khan has called you," the chamberlain ordered.
Hearing this, the eldest son Dayan Eqir, the second son Omubu, the third son Dalantai, the fourth son Ayush, the fifth son Yilduzi, the sixth son Dorji, the seventh son Hulumush, the eighth son Gonbuchahun,
The ninth son Sanggarza, the tenth son Dashbatur, and the nephew Eqirtu filed in.
Gushi Khan gasped and called his eldest son Dayan Eqir to his side and asked everyone: "After the death of this Khan, are you willing to support Dayan as Khan just like you served me?"
Everyone cried and swore allegiance to Dayan Eqil.
Gushi Khan let his sons and nephews go away with peace of mind, leaving his eldest son Dayan Eqil alone.
"Dayan, after my father Khan leaves, you must govern the Heshuote Khanate well, care for the people, and guard the territory."
"Father, you will be fine," Dayan Eqil burst into tears.
"Silly boy, my father is seventy-four years old. It's time to return to the embrace of the immortal. But there are three things I have to tell you. You must keep them in mind."
"Father, please tell me."
"Your sixth brother Dorji is very strategic. You can let him govern Qinghai. You will be right to listen to him when things happen."
"Yes, Father Khan".
"Let your brother Erqiltu manage the north of the Tianshan Mountains and keep an eye on the Junggar tribe; appoint Suonan Raodan as Diba to govern Tibet."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"I know, Father."
"The third thing is the most important. You must respect those two masters, but do not let them interfere in government affairs. Especially the one in the Potala Palace, you must keep your eyes open and guard against him. Do you understand?"
"I remember, Father Khan".
After Gushi Khan explained his funeral affairs, he left unwillingly. There was a cry inside and outside the Khan's court.
The crowd proclaimed Dayan Eqil as Khan. Looking at Dayan Khan who was surrounded by everyone, Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso's eyes were gloomy. But when he saw Sonam Raodan, his face returned to calm. This Diba is
The attendant of the previous master had a high prestige.
The sun has died, but the moon is still there (Gushi Khan, Suonan Raodan are called the sun and moon in the sky), and it is not the time to seize power yet. Endure! Continue to endure! Ngawang Losang Gyatso said to himself, smiling at
Suonan Raodan put his hands together, said hello, and returned to the Potala Palace.

Beijing, Uncle Heshuo Prince Zheng's Mansion, fifty-seven-year-old Jierhalang has also reached the end of his life.
Hearing that Jierharang was seriously ill, Emperor Shunzhi went to visit him personally. He had great affection for this uncle. Without him, he might have been usurped by that damn Dorgon.
"Your Majesty, I forgive you for not being able to be loyal to your Majesty anymore." Jierhalang lay on the bed, as angry as a thread.
Emperor Shunzhi burst into tears unconsciously and asked, "Does your uncle have any last words?"
Jierhalang burst into tears, "I was raised in the palace of Emperor Taizu, trusted by Emperor Taizong, and favored by the Holy Grace. I have been favored by three dynasties, but I was unable to repay it. I am extremely sad. I only hope that the emperor will conquer Jiangnan as soon as possible and sweep away the
Destroy the counterfeit Mingguang Emperor and unify the four seas. Cough~cough~cough~. Manchuria has a very small population, but if it can defeat the rogue bandits and capture Kyoto, it should be compensated. Cough~cough~cough~.
After hearing these words, Emperor Shunzhi became even more sad. He looked up and shouted: "Oh God! Why don't you let my uncle live a long life?"
The more I cry, the sadder I become, and my tears won’t stop flowing.
"Your Majesty, it's time for you to return to the palace." Yue Le, Sony, Ao Bai and other ministers urged Emperor Shunzhi to return to the palace.
"No, I won't leave. I want to stay with my uncle here." Emperor Shunzhi left the room and sat in the courtyard of the palace crying, unable to bear to leave.
Sony had no choice but to persuade: "Please express your condolences, Your Majesty! Staying in the palace for a long time is not in line with etiquette, and it is not conducive to the prince's recovery. If the emperor misses the prince, he might as well ask the painter to paint his portrait and bring it back to the palace to relieve his missing."
.
"Yeah." After hearing this, Emperor Shunzhi returned to the palace.
His uncle Heshuo, Prince Zheng Jierhalang, also passed away and was buried at Baishi Bridge outside Xizhimen, Beijing.
Emperor Shunzhi was so grieved that he ordered a seven-day hiatus. In the Qing Dynasty, only Jierhalang enjoyed this honor. He was also given a gift of 10,000 taels of silver for burial, placed ten families in the cemetery, and erected a monument to commemorate his merits.

After a long journey, one king was not enough, and another Duke was gone.
Zhenguo Duke Babutai also died of illness. The death of the ninth son of Nurhaci, the founder of the Qing Dynasty, marked the end of the era of the older generation of clans in the Qing Dynasty, and the advent of the era of younger clans such as Emperor Shunzhi.
When Emperor Shunzhi heard that his uncle Babutai had died of illness, he gave him the posthumous title of "Kexi" and ordered the 39-year-old Ningnan Jingkou General Luotuo to take over the military power in Huguang.
