That night, Mu Zhan gathered all the men and horses and went straight to Ningwu Pass, he was also forty years old, since Zilharang could mediate under the powerful Dolgon and still maintain his authority, the last move was fatal, naturally he would not be a mediocre person.

Therefore, he did not teach his children and grandchildren to bow and ride horses every day like some princes and nobles in Beijing, and when he arrived in the Central Plains, he had to follow the rules of the Central Plains.

Mu Zhan is not a rude and reckless person, Tuhai asked him to lead the troops, on the one hand, it is indeed because of his good ability, and on the other hand, his family background can block the open guns and arrows of the imperial court. Mu Zhan knew this clearly, but he did not refuse this military order, the army has its own rules in the army, and no matter how big the background is, it cannot affect the normal operation of the army. From this point of view, Tuhai stood on the righteousness.

On the other hand, if Mu Zhan wanted to take over his uncle's position, he had to accumulate enough military merits, which was not an opportunity, so he asked for 8,000 men, which was within Tuhai's tolerance and could ensure the smooth implementation of his plan.

In his opinion, those people are alone, even if there are 5,000 men and horses, they can only be used as 3,000, and they are surrounded by people who are deeply affected by the king, they must not be able to move an inch, and once their army arrives, they should be seventy or eighty percent sure that they can win.

He walked for fifteen days from Tongguan to Taiyuan Mansion, and in these fifteen days, Cheng Xiaolian had already broken through Ningwu Pass, and the government and the opposition were shaken.

At the beginning, when the partial pass was breached, the civil and military forces of the imperial court felt that these thieves were running thousands of miles, all of them were light cavalry, even if they were caught off guard for a while, they would definitely not be able to become a climate, who knew that it was only fifteen days, and Ningwu Pass fell.

Ningwu Pass is different from Biguan, this place has reached the heart of Shanxi, although it is still two hundred miles away from Taiyuan Mansion, but who stipulates that the Beijing Division must go to Taiyuan Mansion? From Jingwu Hall to the east to Daizhou and go to Guangchang, you can go straight to Yizhou. Yizhou was only less than 200 miles away from Jingshi, which meant that if they were indulged any longer, they might come to Jingshi at any time to take a look at the frightened Manchu civil and military ministers.

At this time, the court can be regarded as a fried pot, no matter which faction the people all support Tuhai to withdraw troops from Tongguan and come back to defend the Beijing Division. This time is not the time to fight for power and profit, if you are not careful, you will have to be driven back to Liaodong to herd sheep, how much difference is there between being a first-class member and a second-class member of the imperial court?

"For today's plan, only to temporarily give up attacking Tongguan, the minions are not worried about their lives, but once the Beijing division has a military matter, the non-commissioned soldiers fighting outside are unstable, not to mention Tongguan, even the army that confronts Wu Sangui in Jiangnan will be affected, Tongguan can fight again at any time, with General Tuhai's ability is a matter of fingers, and please ask the emperor to immediately transfer back to the army."

Kangxi sneered and looked carefully at the courtiers below: "Do you all mean this?" As he spoke, his eyes kept wandering around Mingzhu.

Mingzhu smiled bitterly in her heart, and stood up hard: "The slave has a different opinion. ”

"Say."

"The slave thinks that since General Tuhai has sent a large army back to help, we should believe him, besides, according to the document of the eight-hundred-mile urgency, the enemy army does not exceed 5,000 people, these horses can fight a surprise battle, if they lose the ability to raid, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to hit the land of Gyeonggi, General Tuhai has been fighting fiercely in front of Tongguan for so many days, if he withdraws at this time, it will be a failure, and if he can break through Tongguan, those cavalry may not have the heart to continue the battle."

Suo Etu sneered, glanced at the protégé behind him, and the protégé immediately knelt on the ground: "The slave impeached Mingzhu, disregarded the emperor's safety, and put the Qing court in danger, the slave really doesn't know what Mingzhu has in mind, does he also want to return to the Ming Dynasty and enjoy some glory and wealth?" ”

Before others could speak, Kangxi snorted coldly: "Kali is unwarranted, criticizing being a minister of the court, removing him from his official position, and returning home to reflect." ”

According to Kangxi's thoughts, he couldn't wait to put this Kali knife to death, but now it is not as good as before, his power has been greatly hindered, if he is executed, it will inevitably cause a strong backlash from Suo Etu's faction, and it will not be good at that time, and the dismissal is to warn them that this is their own meaning, and let them weigh it.

Kali didn't look panicked, and after kneeling on the ground to thank him, he removed the flower feather and was sent out of the court by the guards.

Suo Etu sighed in his heart, he didn't speak today because he wanted to ease the relationship with Kangxi, no matter what, the emperor is young, he is no longer young, if he has a grudge with the emperor everywhere, now the emperor can't deal with him, and the family doesn't know what kind of revenge he will receive after a hundred years.

Who knew that he didn't come out but let Kangxi take the opportunity to make trouble, of course Kangxi would not remove him from asking for an official position, but everyone felt that it was normal to remove him from the official position of a protégé.

Kangxi looked at the civil and military forces of the court below: "I originally wanted to drive the expedition in person, but you didn't allow it, okay, I stayed in the Beijing Division, and now the rebellion is coming, I just want to see what kind of army can make my Qing army suffer repeated defeats." Tuhai is the key fighter there, if any of you dare to mistake him, it is a mistake for the Qing Dynasty, and my knife will not be soft. At the beginning, Tuhai pacified Chahar with a few thousand slaves, and now the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, if even a few thousand cavalry are afraid, then our Qing Dynasty should really go back to our hometown in Liaodong! ”

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The incompetence of the ministers has affected Your Majesty, please punish Your Majesty." ”

"Forget it, get up, I don't want to punish you, we monarchs and ministers can work together to create a prosperous world, you have your own thoughts, I don't blame you, but you have to remember, only the Qing Dynasty is here, your little careful thinking can bring you benefits, if the Qing Dynasty is gone, you calculate and calculate, and your life is just a difference between dozens of sheep and dozens of acres of land."

Saying that, Kangxi looked tired: "Retreat." ”

Mingzhu smiled bitterly, yes, the emperor's words have almost cleaned up people's hearts, but he has become the target of everyone, they are afraid that they will not put the sin on the emperor's head, but will only put it on their own puppet, although he is also a force in the court, but this force has just been cultivated by Kangxi, and it is still too immature, how to fight against those behemoths in the court?

Just when he was in a trance, he suddenly heard the voice of a eunuch: "Lord Nalan, the emperor wants to see you." ”
