Chapter 137 Giant Python
"Your Majesty, I have an important matter to report."
Kangxi would naturally not silence the Crown Prince Yinreng's "report".
He nodded, indicating that he should continue.
He has seen that the prince has been working particularly hard in the past six months. He hopes that Yinreng will become successful and establish himself as an emperor as soon as possible, so he will not deprive him of the right to work hard at this time.
“In recent years, I have discussed and simulated the war with Tsarist Russia with General Peng Chun several times.
It is hard to describe it in one word, but I can say with certainty that at this moment... it is exactly like that moment, without a single mistake!"
Kangxi trusted Yinreng not to speak nonsense, so when his words exploded in Kangxi's mind, Kangxi couldn't help but widen his eyes and asked him for confirmation,
"Exactly?! Really?!"
"Seriously!"
Kangxi was overjoyed and said immediately,
"Hurry up and tell me! But what do we need to prepare?"
Yinreng was so excited that his hands were shaking slightly, but he still maintained his decency and reported,
"General Peng Chun once gave me a complete set of sand table simulation props. In addition, all the small maps, books, and deduction records are all in Yuqing Palace.
I will go get it myself right away!"
……
When Yinreng came back, not only did he hold three or four wooden boxes in his hands, but even the young eunuchs brought by Liang Jiugong had their hands full.
Under Yinreng's instructions and personal operation, the sand table for simulating war in daily life soon took shape.
In order to make it easier to show it to Kangxi and his ministers, he also posted the large scroll used for analysis after the game vertically on the wooden board.
"Your Majesty, with this past 'game record file', I will tell you the story."
While describing the games and clashes between the two sides when they deployed their troops, Yinreng supplemented the explanations of the sources of off-field factors such as maps, military force inferences, supplies, astronomical phenomena, etc.
Most of the maps were copied from ancient books and miscellaneous books during discussions with Peng Chun.
Speaking of miscellaneous books, it is thanks to He Junyi'erha's love of reading miscellaneous books that he made so many discoveries.
At least the current map of Tsarist Russia on the south bank of the river was dug out from the "Autobiography of Searching for Rare Ingredients" written by a chef!
Now, comparing it with the simple map outlined in the secret report sent back by Peng Chun, it can’t be said to be similar, it is an exact restoration!
Yinreng could be certain that Peng Chun's rest along the river was not only to recuperate the army and send intelligence back to the Qing Dynasty, but also had three special purposes.
First, let him, as an insider, report the situation to the emperor.
Second, take advantage of the location’s geographical advantages to continue drawing maps and making firm guesses.
Third, to observe how the Tsarist Russian forces would counterattack. The territory here, after several simulations by them and the records in the files of Peng Chun and his son at home, showed that it was an excellent place for defensive counterattack, feinting to the east and attacking in the west, and secretly marching through Chencang!
If the war here is fought successfully, then encirclement of Moscow from three sides will be a foregone conclusion!
(ps, at this time, St. Petersburg (started in 1703) had not yet begun to be built, and the Tsarist Russia at that time was not even recognized by Europe. (〃＞皿＜))
Listening to Yinreng's report, combined with his super-fast reading ability, Kangxi read through the three game record files in a row and clapped his hands in admiration,
"well!!"
After Kangxi finished reading it, he handed the file in his hand to the military ministers for circulation one by one.
With Prince Yinreng's on-the-spot deduction just now, coupled with the records in ten boxes, even Nalan Mingzhu, Suo'etu, and even Tong Guowei, who was recalled to the Qianqing Palace as an exception, could not help but praise Peng Chun's "invention".
"I didn't expect that Peng Chun, this reckless man, is actually a rare military genius."
"The prince studies hard every day and has made such great achievements. God bless our Qing Dynasty!"
After expressing his feelings, Soetu naturally did not forget to give flowers to the prince.
But there was no need for Soetu to say much about this icing on the cake, the flower field in Kangxi's heart had already blossomed.
"Then according to your opinion, based on this deduction, how can we defeat Tsarist Russia in one fell swoop?"
Nalan Mingzhu is the quickest-witted and most capable of seeking personal gain.
"Your Majesty, I think it won't take five years, but we can take Moscow within two years."
"Oh? What do you think, my dear?"
Upon hearing this, Kangxi immediately became interested and was ready to listen to Nalan Mingzhu's strategy.
If this move is feasible, then among the credits shared between the crown prince and Peng Chun, his Yehenara clan will surely be able to get a share.
but……
After he finished speaking confidently, Yinreng stood up again and refuted,
"Although Lord Mingzhu's plan is brilliant, I think it is inappropriate."
"Why does Your Highness say so?"
Suddenly, Nalan Mingzhu had a very ominous premonition.
In addition to this strategy, while watching the prince's deductions, he also conceived at least five marching strategies and plans based on the encirclement of Moscow, the capital of Tsarist Russia.
but……
Looking at Yinreng's seemingly confident and well-prepared expression, he felt as if he was strangled by an invisible giant python. The python's eyes flashed with the cold light unique to cold-blooded animals. It cunningly stuck out its tongue and opened its bloody mouth, almost wanting to swallow him into its stomach.
Sure enough, the next moment he had this feeling, Yinreng spoke,
“Your Majesty, what I have shown you and the others is merely the record of my success in deduction, that is, victory.
I have suffered nearly a hundred defeats, at least thirty of which were caused by Lord Mingzhu's strategies.
Please have your Majesty and the ministers review it."
Nalan Mingzhu:!!!
The worst premonition came true.
The "defeat" displayed by the prince not only negated his previous guess, but also eliminated all his backup measures one by one.
The method used to resolve the problem was so ingenious and genius that it was no exaggeration!
How could the barbarians of Tsarist Russia have such a mind? !
But he couldn't say that.
Instead of using a foolproof plan that has been tested hundreds of times, you use his 'method of cracking'?
Crown Prince Yinreng is truly such a monster, he has such an extraordinary mind at such a young age.
Is there really still hope for Yinzhen, whom he secretly supported?
Nalan Mingzhu couldn't help but take a breath.
The prince hasn't even entered the cabinet or the officialdom yet, but now that the clash has come, he is completely defenseless.
Worthy of being the crown prince...
Just one head-on confrontation made Nalan Mingzhu realize that he could never shake the prince head-on again and had to take unorthodox measures.
At this moment, the discussion in the hall had become a one-man show led by Yinreng.
After Kangxi's personal instruction, Yinreng was able to deal with the old official confidently and respond to them one by one.
It's not that he was born to be the crown prince, it's purely because of his confidence in the knowledge and experience he has accumulated in the past!
