The hunting in the mountains that lasted for more than half a month passed in a flash.
Because the Qing army had a high overall quality and was well-equipped, they performed very well in the autumn hunt, making the princes and nobles of various Mongolian tribes feel difficult to compete with.
The combat capability of the Mongolian cavalry was actually not weak, but on a real battlefield, the Qing army would not only send the same number of cavalry to compete with them.
The number of cavalrymen of the Mongolian tribes was limited and could not be compared with that of the Qing army.
What's more... the fire gun is something that only heavy armored cavalry can resist. Light armored cavalry will be seriously injured if they encounter the fire gun.
There is no shortage of light cavalry on the grassland, but it is extremely difficult to train heavy cavalry.
The most important point is that there is no iron smelting technology on the grassland.
In this day and age, iron is a military supply and a controlled material. Even if the Mongolian tribes had openly surrendered to the Qing court, Kangxi would not be foolish enough to provide ironware to Mongolia without any precautions.
During the past half month, the palace was relatively peaceful. However, Longkodo seemed to be really hit hard and hid in his room all day long and did not come out to see anyone.
It is worth mentioning that when the autumn hunt was nearing its end, the Mongolian princes and nobles set their sights on Yinzhi and Yinzhen, and were testing Kangxi openly and covertly to see if there was any possibility of a marriage.
Kangxi declined politely.
He himself did not like Mongolian women, so he thought his sons would not like them either.
Moreover, during the selection at the beginning of the year, he had already arranged marriages for Yinzhi and several others, and his sons would get married in the next two years.
Now that the candidate for the principal wife had been decided, the princes and nobles no longer cared much about the position of concubine.
In early October, the autumn hunt was successfully concluded and the emperor returned to the capital.
In the team, everyone also saw Longkodo in casual clothes.
Unlike when he came, Longkodo was full of depression at this time. He rode his horse and hung behind others. Except for a few lackeys who valued his family background, none of his former colleagues showed up.
From this, it can be seen that he was not very popular among the first-class guards before.
After being demoted to a Blue Feather Guard, Longkodo never went on duty.
He didn't even go to collect the Blue Feather Guards' uniform.
But no one dared to lecture him about it.
The wound on Yinzhi's buttocks had healed completely. In order to irritate Longkodo, he rode his horse and walked arrogantly in front of Longkodo again and again.
This cycle continued over and over again, and soon Longkodo could no longer bear it. He stared at Yinzhi as if he wanted to eat him alive.
Yinreng witnessed all of this with his own eyes, and then secretly commented on Yinzhi to Yinzhi beside him, saying that he had never seen such a despicable person.
Not only did he cause the man to be demoted, but he also deliberately ran around in front of him.
He said that if he were Longkodo, he would definitely not be able to help but beat Yinzhi up to vent his anger.
Before he could finish his words, Longkodo suddenly jumped up and started fighting with Yinzhi.
Yinreng: “…”
He actually has the potential to be a jinx?
In the blink of an eye, Yinzhi and Longkodo had already dismounted and were fighting on the ground with fists.
Yinreng was afraid that Yinzhi would suffer a loss, so he quickly squeezed to the innermost part. After taking a look, he was sure that Yinzhi had the upper hand, so he watched the excitement with relish.
Yinzhi was quite skilled in fighting and was a few centimeters taller than Longkodo, giving him the advantage in a fight.
But Longkodo was no pushover. Although he was short, he was flexible enough, which caused Yinzhi a lot of trouble.
Yinzhi was a mean and mean boy. When he fought, he would hit Longkodo in the face. Longkodo's face, which was not very fair, turned red and purple at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Longkodo was furious and used ruthless moves to attack Yinzhi's weak points.
Yinzhi realized that something was wrong, so he changed his strategy. He no longer focused on slapping Longkodo in the face, but instead seized the opportunity to attack his lower limbs in order to eliminate Longkodo's advantage in flexibility.
Yinzhi knew very well that the two of them could fight, but they could not kill each other.
The excitement here soon attracted Kangxi.
Kangxi angrily ordered the surrounding guards to pull the two men apart. Yinzhi was quick-witted and kicked Longkodo in the waist when the two were completely separated. Longkodo groaned and the blood disappeared from his lips.
Looking at the bruised Longkodo and the grinning Yinzhi, Kangxi's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water was about to drip out of it.
"What a shame! What kind of place is this? You two dare to fight?"
Strictly speaking, the way to the military parade can also be considered a march. The fact that Yinzhi and Longkodo fought on the march was simply a slap in his face.
"Longkodo was the first to strike!"
Yinzhi stuck his neck out, looking as if he was saying, "I'm not wrong!"
"I saw both of you fighting!"
Yinreng stood up to speak for Yinzhi.
"Father, I saw that it was Longkodo who started it."
Seeing that Yinreng had come forward, Yinzhi also followed suit.
"Second brother is right."
"Longkodo's mental state is really poor. The boss didn't do anything, just wandered around in front of him twice and he couldn't stand it. Just this one thing made him angry. The old man actually asked him to be a personal guard. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. If he encountered an assassin, he would rush forward before the other party provoked him. What kind of protection would he talk about..."
Kangxi took a deep breath, glared at Longkodo with disappointment, then stripped him of all his official positions and left.
The boss’s provocation was not entirely wrong, but it was an indisputable fact that Longkodo was the first to strike.
Yinreng was right. With Longkodo's character, how could he dare to entrust important matters to him?
Kangxi thought that he would be more restrained after demoting him last time, but he didn't expect that he was still unrepentant and dared to attack the prince first.
It's like a hopeless case of useless trolls!
After this incident, Kangxi's impression of Longkodo could no longer be lowered.
He even decided not to use Longkodo in the future. When his anger had subsided, he would just assign Longkodo an idle position and let him live the rest of his life without worries about food and clothing.
The last kick that Yinzhi gave Longkodo actually hit Longkodo's joints, forcing him to lie in the carriage for the rest of the journey.
Yinzhi also smelled a hint of danger and didn't dare to cause any more trouble.
When the imperial carriage returned to the capital, Tong Guowei was the first to receive the news that his son had been demoted and reduced to a penniless person.
After learning the whole story, Tong Guowei felt that Longkodo was too impetuous and needed to be tempered.
Even if Longkodo did something wrong, Kangxi's punishment was too severe.
Seeing Longkodo lying on the bed in a daze, Tong Guowei and Hesheli were so distressed that they couldn't bear to scold him.
Longkodo, with red eyes, begged Tong Guowei to avenge him.
Tong Guowei did not agree, but did not refuse either.
He has a clear mind.
Kangxi's tough attitude this time was probably not only because he was angry that Longkodo had a dispute with several princes, but also because he was angry that the Tong family tried to interfere in the fight for the throne.
Therefore, no matter how much Tong Guowei felt sorry for Longkodo, it was impossible for him to confront the eldest prince and others at this time.
As the saying goes, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
The Tong family can wait for revenge.
