Chapter 265: In order to get results as soon as possible, he didn’t even hide it!
Galdan Tsering even called out to Hami King Ebedullah: If you don't want to be killed by the sword, then quickly turn from darkness to light.
if not……
Not only will Hami be lost, but this day next year will also be your death anniversary!
Of course, Ebedullah was unwilling.
You know, when Galdan defeated the Yarkand Kingdom and Hami fell, he was appointed as Dalhan Beg. In name, he was made the speaker of Hami, but in fact, he was used to stabilize the situation and squeeze Hami's grain.
The demands were frequent and both Hami and he were overwhelmed, so the Qing court sent people to appease him and he finally gave up.
After Kangxi defeated Galdan twice, he became more eager to surrender.
Finally, he became the King of Hami Hui by offering the merits of Galdan's son Sebuteng Balzhuer. If we look into it carefully, he can also be considered a traitor of the Dzungar Khanate, right?
Now that the war between the two sides is at a stalemate, it's good that he is a useful chess piece.
When the outcome is decided, will he still be able to reap the rewards?
Moreover!
Even a powerful man like Galdan could not last more than a few rounds at the hands of the Qing court. How could Tsewang Arabtan compete with a young man like him?
Ha ha.
Ebedullah sneered, pretended to be submissive and delayed time, while secretly sending someone to Jiuquanzhou, Gansu to deliver a letter.
As a result, the people who were sent out were tied up like dumplings by Da Tsering Dunduobu and sent back to their camp not long after they were sent out. He also reiterated to the great prince of the Junggar Khanate, Galdan Tsering: Either surrender or die, stop talking about those useless tricks!
If you don't surrender you will die, but if you surrender you will only die later and will also implicate your wife and children.
What should I do?
Ebedula, who had been sick every now and then since the spring of this year and always felt that he would not live long, sneered and decisively chose the former.
In order to delay time as much as possible, he tried his best to mobilize his fellow tribesmen.
He repeatedly told the story of how the Dzungar Khanate oppressed Hami during the Galdan period, saying that if the enemy troops invaded Hami, the people would return to the dark days.
Who wouldn’t be afraid of this?
In order to not live a life that is like living a life of hardship like cattle and horses, the warriors have to pick up bows and arrows and fight until their blood runs dry!
From that day on, Galdan Tsering and Da Tsering Dondub encountered unprecedented fierce resistance.
The original plan to let them quickly capture Hami, set up an ambush, and use the firepower advantage to ambush the Qing reinforcements had been delayed. However, when Ebedullah first submitted to the Qing court, he applied to stay in Jiuquanwei, Gansu, thinking that the people who were responsible for protecting Hami would rush to him upon hearing the news.
The Gansu general also led troops to support, quickly making up for the disadvantage of insufficient garrison troops in Hami.
The numbers of both sides were equal.
The Hami defenders had the advantage of geographical location, while the Dzungar had the advantage of firearms.
Both sides won and lost alternately, and the armies led by Fu Ning'an, the Fourteenth Prince and others were gradually approaching.
In the capital, while Yinxuan was paying attention to the war on the front, he also devoted most of his energy to the research and development of firearms.
In order to get results as soon as possible, he doesn't even hide it, okay?
All kinds of blessings come to the mind.
From time to time, he would say to Dai Zi: "Sir, I have an immature idea. Do you think this will work?"
At the beginning, Dai Zi was still very disapproving.
It’s just because of my noble student status that I have to listen to you.
After listening to...
He clapped his hands in admiration and turned around in circles excitedly: "Great, great, great! The Eighteenth Prince has such wonderful ideas at such a young age. He is truly gifted and was born to be a good candidate for firearms research!"
"It is a blessing for me to have the title of master and disciple with the Eighteenth Prince. But..."
Dai Zi frowned, saying that although this thing was good, it looked very expensive!
Once the guns and cannons sounded, the gold might be worth more than ten thousand taels. Even if the treasury is full now, it can't withstand such a defeat, right?
Yin Xuan smiled and took his arm: "It is said that everyone has his own specialty. Mr. Dai is indeed an expert. He saw the key point at a glance! Well, this is also where I have to trouble you."
what?
Dai Zi was shocked and didn't understand how he could have the ability to help a prince like him.
When it comes to this, Yin Xuan is a little discouraged: "Ah! This is the pain of being young. People are prejudiced. They say that those who are young are not reliable. It has only been a short time since your apprentice celebrated his eighth birthday. To say that I can come up with such an amazing weapon design, it takes a lot of effort just to gain people's trust!"
"Why not borrow your reputation and say that this was all finalized under your guidance, and it is highly feasible."
[Master, be brave and take the blame for your disciple! Mr. Huang next door has taken the blame for many things for me, big and small, from microscopes to now. If this wasn’t a particularly inappropriate profession, I wouldn’t have bothered you today.]
What?
Is Mr. Huang next door more adept at taking the blame?
Baotai held back his laughter and wrote down in detail the conversation between Yinzhen and Dai Zi, as well as what he was thinking, so that he could report back to his uncle, the Emperor.
Yinxuan himself looked at Dai Zi eagerly, clasping his hands together as if asking for help.
Dai Zi originally refused.
But Yinzhen could not resist mentioning the war with Dzungar and the large number of artillery and flintlock rifles that the Dzungar had imported from foreigners.
In addition, Kangxi was planning to reform the native tribes into officials.
At that time, Dai Zi's eyes widened, and he looked at Yinzhen with disapproval in his eyes: "Such a national event, since the Eighteenth Prince has the honor of knowing it, he should keep it secret. How dare he spread it casually?"
The key point has been made known to us?
Before they parted, Dai Zi had already begun to imagine the scene of himself being called to the Qianqing Palace and given all kinds of strict instructions.
Yin Xuan waved his hand: "Mr. Dai is the student's teacher, how can he be an outsider? Besides, if I don't tell you the inside story, it will be difficult for you to help cooperate!"
When he said the last two sentences, Yinzhen's eyes were full of smiles, full of sincerity.
Dai Zi: …
Dai Zi was not a good talker originally, and now he was even more conflicted.
First of all, he was a man of high character, and disdained to do such a thing as impersonation. But since the prince's apprentice made a serious request, he couldn't refuse, and he was also excited. But after his previous experience of being driven out of the pass to pick pine nuts and dig ginseng, he didn't dare to agree rashly.
The whole person felt like he had reached the North Pole, with difficulties not just on the left but in all directions!
Seeing his hesitation, Yinxuan quickly used his ultimate move and mentioned the Three Feudatories Rebellion. In order to stop the war and save the people from danger, Dai Zi presented the artillery drawings to Prince Kang Jieshu.
"If it weren't for your selflessness, the Three Feudatories and Galdan wouldn't have been able to spread the news of victory so often. In front of the foreign envoys, our Qing Dynasty would have been humiliated..."
"It is a blessing for the Qing Dynasty and the world to have such kind-hearted and ambitious people as you."
Dai Zi waved his hands and kept saying that the Eighteenth Prince was praising him.
Every man has a share of responsibility for the fate of his country. I, a humble official, can only do my best to show my gratitude.
Yin Xuan smiled, "No, no, no, I am short of words and cannot express one ten-thousandth of your greatness. I just know that you do not seek fame, so I will not beat around the bush. I would like to ask you, now that the war with the Junggar has started and the people of the world need you again, are you willing to stand up bravely once more?"
