The swansong of the swansong

Chapter 107: The Miraculous Achievement of Protecting the Emperor

Yinyu never formed a clique, and so did the twelfth prince. That was why the twelfth prince came to have a small gathering with Yinyu.

In the palace, the Twelfth Prince, who was a few years older than Yinyou, had always been an unknown prince.

The adopted wife of the Twelfth Prince, Su Malagu, was actually the adopted mother of Kangxi.

In Manchu, "taitai" means grandmother!
Kangxi's biological mother, Tong Jia, died very early, and he was raised by the Empress Dowager since he was a child, and Su Malagu was the one who was responsible for his upbringing.

It is also because of this that Fuquan and Changning did not dare to covet the throne and were happy to be wise kings.

Since the twelfth prince had arrived, Yinyou ordered a new table to be prepared and personally went out of the mansion to greet him.

When the Twelfth Prince saw Yinyu, he smiled and said, "I really have nowhere to go in this deserted Rehe. I can only come to you to drink!"

Yinyou smiled silently. Sumalagu had taught the Twelfth Prince to be too smart.

Among smart people, they are like sounding drums. There is no need to hit them too hard.

Yinyou accompanied the Twelfth Prince into the rockery pavilion in the back garden.

When the Twelveth Brother saw Nian Gengyao head-on, his expression changed slightly. Nian Gengyao was definitely not an easy person to deal with.

This guy likes to curry favor with people everywhere. Nian Gengyao had left his footprints in the places of the eldest brother, the crown prince, the third brother and the eighth brother.

However, the Empress Dowager publicly accused Nian Guanyin of being a vixen, and the incident caused a sensation in the city, and the Twelfth Prince also knew about it.

Since Nian Guanyin is Yinyou's woman, it is completely understandable that Nian Gengyao appears here.

"I am Nian Gengyao, your humble servant, and wish you the best of health, Master Twelve."

Nian Gengyao was so unruly that he was beyond control, and Yinyou couldn't scold him in public.

"Get up." For Yinyou's sake, the twelfth prince did not argue with Nian Gengyao.

In this era, entertaining guests with leftovers is tantamount to looking down on the guests and making enemies.

So, after the Twelveth Old Man sat down, all kinds of delicious mountain dishes that had just come out of the pot were brought to the table like water.

Yinyou always ate very light food and would eat a lot of green leafy vegetables with every meal.

It was just a coincidence that the Twelveth Brother worshipped Buddha devoutly every day, often needed to bathe and fast, and his diet was also very light.

However, when Yinyou entertained guests with drinks, he always served a combination of meat and vegetables to prevent the guests from being unable to eat due to dietary restrictions.

After drinking a few cups of yellow soup, even if the Twelveth Brother had some opinions about Nian Gengyao, they were temporarily diluted a lot.

Nian Gengyao, who was successful at a young age, would write passionate words and give advice on how to deal with the country whenever he was drunk.

"In the Battle of Ulan Butong, if I were leading an army, I would march at night and sleep in the morning to attack Galdan's rear..."

Every time this happened, the Twelfth Prince and Yinyou would invariably keep their mouths shut and just listen without saying anything.

As time went by, the twelfth brother raised his wine cup, clinked it with Yinyu's, and said meaningfully, "I am a rich and idle man who never takes the initiative to cause trouble. We two brothers should visit each other more often in the future."

Yinyou had no psychological burden at all in dating the Twelfth Prince, so he readily agreed.

After the banquet, Yinyu led the guests to the fish pond to drink tea and admire the moon.

Before the twelfth old man had even settled down, Nian Gengyao was inspired to write a poem, "The bright moon..."

Yinyou looked at the Twelfth Prince apologetically, and the Twelfth Prince blinked, meaning, it’s okay, I have long known about Nian Gengyao’s arrogance and rudeness.

The Rehe Palace also had a night curfew system. That night, Yinyu arranged a guest house for Nian Gengyao and the Twelveth Prince respectively, allowing them to rest.

Before daybreak, Yinyu was going to take up duty near the temporary palace, so he asked Xiao Jinzi to stay and entertain the two guests who had not yet gotten up.

After Kangxi had rested enough in the Rehe Palace, he ordered his troops to set off to Mulan Paddock for hunting.

Hunting in Mulan Paddock was actually an extremely important military training activity during peacetime.

Kangxi was worried that peace would last too long and the Eight Bannermen would neglect their basic skills in riding and archery, so every year at the turn of summer and autumn, he would hold large-scale hunting activities at Mulan Paddock.

During the entire hunting process, the Eight Banners descendants were taught to recognize the flags and understand the sounds of horns and drums.

To be honest, when Yinyou led the troops for the first time, he couldn't understand the changes in the flags, nor did he understand the meaning of the trumpet sounds.

Fortunately, we had the help of veteran player Setu, otherwise it would have been a huge joke.

In the era of cold weapons, modern people are completely in the dark and unable to command thousands of troops unless they have good helpers.

After the hunting posture was set, Yinyou's originally inconspicuous figure appeared particularly glaring.

Other princes were mostly surrounded by guards and eunuchs.

In addition to the guards, bondservants, and eunuchs, Yinyou was also accompanied by more than one hundred Green Camp Goshahas led by Shi Shipi, who were armed to the teeth.

The Green Camp, as the name suggests, has a green flag. The standard armor of the Green Camp is also very different from that of the Eight Banners Army, which can be seen at a glance.

Kangxi jumped on his horse in front of the golden tent and promised loudly: "The one who catches the most prey today will be rewarded handsomely."

To be honest, who doesn’t like a boss who is generous? During the annual Mulan hunting event, Kangxi fulfilled his promise and rewarded the winner with the most prey.

Anyway, the Mongols presented many beauties as tributes, and Kangxi also brought a lot of silver.

Not to mention, various imperial bows and fine horses.

Hehe, there are plenty of good things here at Enkh Amugulang Khan!

Today, Prince Yu's mansion has more than 200,000 taels of silver in deposit, and his personal imperial farm also has 20,000 acres of high-quality irrigated land.

No matter from which perspective, Yinyou is no longer a poor prince!
Yinyou was not very interested in hunting, and it was impossible for him to take all the benefits by himself, right?
So, after all the brothers had led their men to rush out, Yinyou led his men and galloped on horseback.

After crossing a few hills, Yinwei estimated that Kangxi could no longer see them, so he raised his right hand high and stopped the people around him.

On a large patch of green grass, Yinyou ordered people to set up tents and set up a barbecue, preparing for a picnic on a picnic trip.

There is strength in numbers, and soon the tent was set up.

Without saying a word, Yinyou led Nian Guanyin into the tent.

As the saying goes, it is better to hold the power of the world when awake or to lie on the lap of a beauty when drunk.

However, excessive joy will inevitably lead to sorrow!
When Kangxi entered the tent, he was shocked to find Yinwei lying in the arms of Nian Guanyin with his legs crossed, letting the beauty feed him watermelon with a toothpick!
“Silly Ku!” Kangxi immediately became furious and cursed Yinyou, “…The foundation of our ancestors will sooner or later be destroyed by the hands of playboys like you.”

Yinyou was speechless. Damn it, if you don’t pass the throne to me, I won’t have the chance even if I want to squander your wealth!
This is like the Qing Dynasty had its wealth squandered by Empress Dowager Longyu, but they still blamed Zaifeng, who had stepped down, for being incompetent. Isn't this simply absurd?
The unfortunate Yinyou, after being scolded for a long time, had to pack up his luggage obediently and was held hostage by Kangxi to join the hunting team.

The so-called hunting means that a large number of people, on horseback, form a semicircle formation, shouting loudly, and driving various animals towards their masters.

When hunting with Kangxi, only a person with a mental illness would take the initiative to kill the prey.

Therefore, Yinyou was always working without putting in any effort, and he just helped Kangxi to show off by shouting loudly!

After all, he was his own son, so even though Kangxi saw that Yinyou was slacking off, he could do nothing about it.

We can't let such a small matter destroy the great image of a benevolent monarch, right?
Seeing that Kangxi ignored him, Yinyou became even more unscrupulous and lazy. He just helped to shout but did not rush out to shoot the prey.

Back then, Xianfeng deliberately did not kill the prey. That was the lesson taught by his teacher Du Shoutian.

Guiziliu's horse riding and archery skills killed Emperor Xianfeng in seconds. How can you compare with him?
Therefore, Du Shoutian advised Emperor Xianfeng to use kindness and benevolence as his characteristic in order to impress Emperor Daoguang.

It is precisely because of Du Shoutian’s extraordinary achievements that he truly benefited future generations.

Originally, everything was going smoothly and the sun was about to set.

Suddenly, an accident happened. A white-browed tiger with hanging eyes was driven towards Kangxi.

The guards around Kangxi were also terrified. They stood there stupidly, completely at a loss as to what to do.

Poor Kangxi, he was usually surrounded by many people to protect him. But at the critical moment, the guards were so scared by the tiger that they fainted.

Yinyu, who was close at hand, had no time to think and gave a stern order: "Raise your guns and charge with me!"

Before he finished speaking, Yinwei took off the lance from the saddle and rushed towards the tiger first.

Shi Shipiu's face changed slightly. He hesitated for a moment, took off his spear, and commanded his Green Camp soldiers to form a formation and rush towards the huge tiger.

At this critical juncture, the difference between the elite soldiers and the guards can be seen.

The palace guards who have never fought in battle are nothing more than silver-plated wax spear tips, good looking but useless.

The Green Camp Goshaha led by Shi Shipiu have all killed many people in battle and seen a lot of blood!

Does it make the same whether there is blood or not?

At all times, there are warriors and there are cowards.

The number of Goshaha from the Green Camp who rushed out with guns raised along with Yinyou and Shi Shipiu was no more than thirty people at most.

To be honest, if Yinyou didn't know the powerful strength of Shi Shipiu and his men, he wouldn't have the courage to charge at the man-eating tiger with a gun in hand.

More than thirty people, forming a formation and holding guns together, is the best response measure at the moment.

The Maasai people in Africa habitually wear red clothes, and their rite of passage into adulthood is to kill an adult male lion.

The weapon of the Maasai is a javelin similar to a spear.

That special spear can be held up and stabbed, or thrown out like a javelin to pierce the lion's abdomen.

In Yinwei's impression, lions and tigers are both large and ferocious beasts, and they can only be restrained by gun formations in the cold weapon era.

However, Yinyou still underestimated the power of the Siberian tiger. With a wave of the tiger's sharp claws, several spears that were raised high were knocked out of his hands in an instant.

At this critical moment of life and death, Yinwei had no time to think. He raised his gun and stabbed the huge tiger's body with all his strength.

"Ouch..." Along with a shrill tiger roar, Yinwei was hit hard on the shoulder. He immediately fell to the ground and fainted on the spot!
