The military consent of the General Dingbian Mansion was placed in a huge tent. This huge golden tent originally belonged to the Senggar Khan Sengge, and now it is temporarily the general's garrison. In two days, the nearby majors and officers above the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of

Chang Aday sat on Chen Ping's right hand, behind the two were ministers under the ministers stationed in Xinjiang, monks from Huang Sect and some businessmen who were qualified to listen to the meeting.

With such a large scale, everyone knew that something big happened, and no one spoke, and everyone stared at Chen Ping.

Chen Ping's eyes swept through many generals and vassals, and saw different brilliances on their eyes and faces. Some were eager to try, some were meditating and worried, and some were not sure about it.

"My generals, I have received a few very bad news. First, Fei Yanggu, the Manchu Minister of Political Affairs, led the Manchu soldiers from the Eight Banners to escort his family and entered the Kazakh grassland westward. Second, there is a rumor that the Manchu lord, Aisin Jueluo Xuanye, might have died, or died of illness or was assassinated. Third, many of the new treatments attached to Manchuria have been abandoned in recent years.

All of this tells a conclusion. The Manchu tribe collapsed. This war that lasted for nearly forty years from the age of the Supreme Emperor, which lasted for nearly 40 years, and caused the death of tens of millions of people to come to an end in our hands. This is a moment of history. You guys, we are going to be recorded in history!" Chen Ping waved his fists and made his declaration in a sonorous and powerful voice.

At this moment, there was cheering in the tent, and people beating the tables or armor, roaring excitedly. Although they wanted to fight in winter, luck was that the enemy had collapsed and there would be no bad wars. As long as they arrived at the enemy's territory, they would gain wealth and honor. Such a war could not be easier and wonderful.

After the cheers came to an end, Chen Ping continued: "This kind of battle is only once in a lifetime. You must be clear that there are no evil wars, and there will be no wars. We are not going to kill people, but to accept and rule. For the empire, the most important thing is discipline.

In the face of betrayal and resistance, you must respond with iron and blood, but anyone who surrenders and obeys must accept the most enthusiastic acceptance. The profits of the war are in Yili, in Hami, in Shenjing, land, population, official positions and wealth. The emperor and I have prepared properly and will never treat any meritorious minister unfairly. But if you plunder and violate military discipline, the most severe punishment will be sent to you."

Orchitu took the lead and said: "General, we all understand what you mean. If Manchuria collapses, we must quickly take over their land and population, rather than use violence to arouse resistance. Give the Russian Rakshasa devils an opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity. One more person will surrender, and one person will resist. Then control the Manchuria faster and obtain a favorable situation, right?"

"You said it very well, it's right!" Chen Ping praised.

"Haha, what does Manchu have? Cattle and sheep or those smelly tents are not worth robbing. We have made achievements to be loyal to the empire. The kind and generous Tian Khan will reward us with more wealth." Babatul also agreed.

When Chen Ping saw a group of vassal officials expressing his opinion, he immediately said: "The guards of the General Dingbian Palace will join the army with the military police. You can do what you say. You must not test the law and now assign tasks.

Babatu, go to Ulyasutai, summon the army of Kansai, march from Kobdo, attack Manchuria in the west, Prince Orchitu, you will take the elite troops along the Ertise River across the Altai Mountains and enter the Manchuria land. I will lead the main force to march along the east bank of Balkash Lake. Cao Song, the cavalry will be selected by you to pursue the elites of the Eight Banners of Manchuria!"

Everyone responded one by one, and Chen Ping ordered: "In the winter, the weather is bad. You must prepare felt cloth or cowhide for the horses to keep warm. Each soldier who sends troops must have a camel as a preparation for livestock. In winter, the bow is not easy to use, and the muskets are easy to freeze. Take the spear and sword with you. Don't fight, there are no good guys who can stand a hand!"

"The three chief generals stay, the other officers retreat to prepare and set off in two days!" Chen Ping ordered.

When most of the officers retreated, Chen Ping ordered: "This time the main task of entering Manchuria is not to fight or receive it. The interpreter must bring enough, because the Manchuria banners are stationed in various places and are very scattered. In order to avoid their escape, all the leaders and leaders of the leaders must send troops to receive it. Lord Chang has already made a sign of the appointment. You have taken it themselves. When you go, check your household registration tent and make your official position first!

The grassroots officers leading the team must make careful choices, don’t care about ethnicity and titles, and choose those who are well-versed. After all, you must stabilize the other party for one winter, be able to drink and brag first, and those who lie and don’t blush are the best choices. Don’t be stubborn! You should report the list first when you go back. In addition, I have asked Master Chelun to prepare. Each team of soldiers must bring a monk to comfort them."

Orchitu said: "General, in winter, heating is a major event, and there is a lack of cotton clothes and felt tents in the army."

"Don't worry about this. After checking the troops, I will make up for it as much as possible. Go."

After seeing off the generals, Chen Ping turned around to face the civil servants and merchants, and announced in an unquestionable tone that the materials from all warehouses in Yili City were requisitioned and turned into military supplies for combat against Manchuria. Of course, the requisition was not used for free, but would be subsidized at a relatively reasonable price after the war ended.

The merchants were very dissatisfied with this and hoped to advance part of the cash as a deposit, but were rejected by Chen Ping. The merchants attending the meeting were all imperial merchants. According to Chen Ping's order, only foreign merchants' materials would receive deposits and market prices. Obviously, even in a state of war, Chen Ping paid attention to maintaining trade freedom and security within the jurisdiction of the Dingbian General's Mansion.

The three main generals quickly reported the list. Chen Ping also approved the order for them to receive supplies according to the number of troops, and together with the staff, they determined the march route and various policies. After explaining one by one, Chen Ping explained to Cao Song: "You lead the army into the Kazakh grassland to pursue the Eight Banners soldiers. Remember, once you encounter the army of the great prince, you must not have conflicts. You are not allowed to open fire on the great prince's army. Do you understand?"

"But if the Eight Manchu Banners enter the sphere of influence of the great prince, it seems that this is very likely now, at least the possibility is much greater than their retreat to the west. Should we watch the Manchus be included by the great prince?" Cao Song asked back.

"Even if that is the case, you are not allowed to have conflicts with the great prince's army. This is not something you and I can decide." Chen Ping ordered, and then said: "If you can't control your emotions and can't control the army, I can send someone else."

"I will handle this matter well," Cao Song said without any further defense.

Chen Ping nodded: "Very good, Pei Yuanqi will follow you. If you dare to violate my orders, he will take your place."

Twelve days later.

"Yuanqi, look at this place, it's horse manure, it's not frozen yet, so it should be less than half an hour away." Cao Song jumped off the war horse, carefully observed the horse manure on the ground, and said to Pei Yuanqi.

Pei Yuanqi looked around and said, "It's strange that there are only traces of the army and no traces of the people's migration. If there are herders following you, there should be a lot of sheep poop."

Cao Song said: "This is very simple. The main force of Manchuria is separated from the Manchurian people. The migrant Manchurians should be located further west. The Eight Banners soldiers formed a cavalry curtain, spreading them in the east, responsible for the rear of the temple and the cover flanks, so that they can move freely. So much horse manure, no less than three thousand cavalry, must be the main force of Manchuria. Now at least it is certain that the Manchurian tribe did not move westward, but went to Samarkand, the territory of the great prince."

"That's also bad news. We must not conflict with the great prince." Pei Yuanqi said.

"Why, why do you have to be restrained!" Cao Song said angrily.

Pei Yuanqi said: "This is what the Supreme Emperor means!"

"Too... Emperor, hasn't he retired without taking any military and political affairs?" Cao Song couldn't believe it at all.

Pei Yuanqi said, "But he is still the father of the eldest prince and the emperor's father. The emperor is a wise and kind-hearted king. Do you want to give him a bad reputation that cannot tolerate brothers?"

Cao Song was hesitating, and suddenly a small team of cavalry rushed forward. He came to the two of them and pushed a man off the horse. The man was short and strong, with slender braids, and was dressed in Manchu. Cao Song asked, "Who are you?"

"The villain is named Tashe, who is the leader of the Manchurian Huangqi. He actually joined the empire two years ago and worked in the Security Bureau. This time, he sneaked out and conveyed the news. Please take me to meet your generals." Tashe said.

Pei Yuanqi walked up and asked: "Your code name and code, contact person."

"Code-named Siberian Tiger, secretly named Weihu Mountain, contact person is a pseudonym Umalmohamed, is a Kazakh, numbered 81194, code-named Changbai Mountain......" Tashe responded to Ziru.

Pei Yuanqi took out the booklet from his arms, compared it, and asked, "If your wife gave birth to you a son, what would he be called?"

"I will be given the surname Li, but my name is not determined." Tashe said.

Pei Yuanqi nodded to Cao Song: "It is confirmed that it is from our Security Bureau."

Cao Song asked directly: "Tashe, what is the internal situation in Manchuria? Did the Eight Banners soldiers go to Samarkand?"

"Master Xuanye is dead. Even the master of our Zhenghuang Banner has never seen him. He must have died. Now Fei Yanggu is in charge of the Eight Banners. He is about to go to Samarkand. Last night, the envoy of the Imperial Prince met General Fei Yanggu in the camp. This morning, Lord Fei Yanggu sent wine and food to the entire army, saying that the prince was willing to adopt Master Xuanye's eldest son as his adopted son, and was willing to marry the Grand Marshal to his side. He did not prepare pasture and food in the western part of Samarkand...."

Cao Song whipped Tasha's head with a whip; "Don't you bet, the eldest prince is the emperor's brother, Aisin Gioro is the royal family's enemy, how could the eldest prince want Xuanye's son to be his adopted son and marry a widow!"

"It's true, this is what Lord Fei Yanggu said in person." Tasha hid behind Pei Yuanqi and insisted.

Pei Yuanqi grabbed Cao Song's whip and said, "Adopting Xuanye's son and marrying his widow is the norm for the nomadic people in the grassland. The eldest prince wants to control the Manchu clan and master the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners. Tasha, I ask you, will there be turmoil within Manchuria after this news is made public?"

Tasha said: "When I left Xinjing, many people didn't want to move. Whenever I had the chance, someone would flee. But as Fei Yanggu made the news public, people's hearts became stable and everyone wanted to go to Samarkand."

"See, the great prince's kung fu is really amazing!" Pei Yuanqi sneered.

Cao Song asked: "What should I do? Just watch the eldest prince be willful and be in a relationship with the empire's enemies?"

Pei Yuanqi said: "The great prince wants to use Manchus, it's nothing, but adopting the enemy's son and marrying the enemy's widow will never happen. It will insult the dignity of the imperial royal family. We must persuade the great prince."

"How to persuade me? Do you want to persuade me or I want to persuade me? Do you dare to provoke him?" Cao Song asked.

Pei Yuanqi pointed to the cavalry behind him and said, "I dare not, nor do you dare, but these soldiers are in front of him, so the prince must think twice before doing it. Good medicine speaks bitterly and honestly, but the knife handle can still calm down!"

Cao Song nodded: "What you want is your words. Come on, gather the team and set off. You must fight with the Manchus before the eldest prince."

The two led the troops and set off immediately. The soldiers in the army put on their armor and boarded their horses. Spears and guns collided with armor. The sound of gold and iron clashing one after another. The monks accompanied him sang Buddha echoed. Most of the soldiers in the army were vassal soldiers, and they all vowed to pray for blessings. For a time, the Buddha's yells were constantly on the grassland. The army went south and when they were eating, they actually met the Cossacks who were chasing from the north. Shahni also received the news to chase them, leading more than a thousand elite soldiers into the main force, and the army was even more majestic.

After chasing for three nights and two days, the scout finally discovered the main force of the Manchus' migration in the early morning. It was preparing to cross the river on the north bank of the Sir River in the Fergana Basin. In the early morning of winter, the foggy was misty and there was only shallow snow on the ground. Not only would it not affect the war horse pump pool, but it was particularly beneficial to cavalry combat because the ground was frozen and hard. The three were reconnaissance on the battlefield and deploying troops. At this moment, there was a sudden sound of cannons.

Considering that the place was flat for dozens of miles and the sound of the cannons had no echo, it was easy to tell that there were more than ten artillery pieces. Cao Song was a graduate of the artillery department and ordered everyone to control his subordinates and war horses. After listening carefully, his eyes widened: "Elements, Shahni, something is wrong. This is the sound of a six-pound flying cavalry cannon. Manchus cannot have such cannons!"

"Let's go and have a look." Pei Yuanqi turned over his horse and galloped all the way to the Manchu ferry. He saw vehicles and camels organizing semicircular camps and trapped by the river. Opposite the camp was a serious army. The cavalry was flying and galloping, and the cannons were roaring and firing. A black and white landscape painting was trampled on the quiet Sir River.
