Chapter 240: A Cowardly Act
But there are always those people who want to show off and answer: "Red Mountain."
"Where is Hongshan?" Kangxi asked again.
Obviously, he was not satisfied with the answer, and even thought it was nonsense.
Now everyone is confused, isn't Red Mountain just Red Mountain, or Huangshan?
Seeing that Kangxi's face became more and more gloomy, no one answered.
Kangxi then asked the crown prince, "Yinreng, tell me."
The prince was startled, thinking that he was unlucky.
He has been the prince for so many years, and at such critical moments, he would pull him out to ask questions.
He looked around and replied, "This is where Huang Ama hunts here every year."
Kangxi snorted coldly, "Think carefully, speak carefully!"
The prince patted his forehead and secretly looked at the brothers, asking for help.
In the end, the helper did not come to him. In order not to let the crown prince get too much attention, the king of Zhijun hurriedly replied: "This is the place where Huang Ama once killed the tiger, the king of longevity."
As soon as these words came out, Kangxi closed his eyes and looked up at the sky with a look of disappointment.
The fire of the emperor in the heart has been ignited.
He frowned, and before he could speak, everyone felt the coercion of the superior, hovering in the sky.
Fortunately, at this time, Wuge shouted loudly: "This is the land where the emperor once defeated Galdan!"
Kangxi heard the prestige and looked around, as if he hadn't expected the question that Chao Zhong's heart hadn't answered.
But Wuge gave the correct answer.
The admiration for Wuge in my heart became stronger and stronger.
He nodded slightly, and said: "Well, yes, in the first ten days of the 29th year, Galdan colluded with Luocha and led ten thousand people to attack Zasak, and I led a large army to suppress the rebellion. At the end of July, Galdan led As soon as the army arrived in Ulan Butong, before he could gain a firm foothold, I dealt him a head-on blow. Only 3,000 defeated troops in Galdan fled back to Khobduo. This is the place where the bloody battle was fought, the great battle to protect the country, you all I don’t know! Why do you remember the hardships of your ancestors in starting a business, and why do you stick to the current ten thousand li territory? Zhu Zi talked about the art of war and strategy, but kept silent about the etiquette and righteousness, but he forgot his ancestors, and he didn’t know how to protect the country. If this continues, after a hundred years, the empire’s land will be safe!”
After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes and let out a long sigh, and remained silent for a long time.
The words made everyone speechless and ashamed.
Before the hunt started, the atmosphere had dropped to a low point, and it was a bit of a bad start.
Seeing this, Wuge waved the whip in his hand, and said loudly: "If you want to inherit the majesty of the emperor, you must look at the Red Mountain battlefield. Princes, hurry up and drive your horses into the paddock to hunt and show off your majesty!"
Hearing this, the people who were still sleepy finally lifted their spirits and were eager to try.
However, everyone did not dare to make random claims, and looked at Kangxi one after another.
Kangxi nodded his head slightly, expressing his agreement.
Then they didn't dare to stop for a moment, and directly drove their horses to the deepest+ part of the paddock.
Who knew that everyone's horses had only run a few steps before something went wrong.
The prince's valiant and high-spirited black horse suddenly hissed and trembled on the spot.
With just such a tremor, the prince almost fell off the horse.
The prince was so angry that he couldn't save face.
Anyway, he is also the crown prince of a country, and he was almost embarrassed in public by the horse.
He raised the whip in his hand and swung it vigorously on the horse.
"Stop it, animals and animals are spiritual, maybe there is something wrong." Kangxi stopped the prince who was competing with horses loudly. He put his hand between his lips as he spoke, signaling for everyone to be quiet. After listening carefully, he said: "It turns out that there is a fierce tiger nearby. Hearing the sound, it is in front. Hurry up and follow me to hunt tigers!"
Sure enough, all the people rode forward a few steps, and heard the roar of the tiger.
Hearing the howling of the tiger, Long Kedo immediately said: "The emperor and all the princes, please step back and rest, and leave the tiger to the servants to deal with it!"
Kangxi waved his big palm and said: "No, you wait on the spot and wait for orders, the princes will follow me to hunt tigers!"
After finishing speaking, he didn't give the princes a chance to catch their breath, and went directly with his whip.
The princes behind him were so scared that they all froze in place for a few seconds.
In the end, the calm fourth master followed Kangxi first.
The rest of the people just came to their senses and rode their horses to keep up.
After a while, there was a brown tiger in front of us, looking at us covetously.
It is at least one foot long and about half a foot high.
This is not a tiger, it is clearly a giant tiger.
Not only that, it has black horizontal stripes on its body, its limbs are strong and powerful, and its tail is like a rattlesnake, with black and white staggered at each section.
The tiger dominates the paddock and is not afraid of people at all.
On the contrary, after meeting someone, I was a little excited.
A pair of tiger eyes were full of bloodthirsty light, and the bloody mouth was opening ferociously.
At the same time, it rushed straight at the crowd.
Seeing this, the king of Zhijun immediately drew his arrow and bow.
The rest of the princes also had their swords drawn, aiming at the tiger that was rushing towards them.
Only fourth master frowned, but did not draw his arrow.
It would be too shameful for a man to stand upright and shoot a tiger at such a distance.
Sure enough, just when the fourth master was about to continue to charge forward, Kangxi reprimanded him in a deep voice, "Shooting a tiger from a hundred feet away is a coward's act, and it really embarrasses me. Put down your bow and arrow, and charge forward with me!"
With that said, he took the lead in riding forward.
You must know that ordinary tigers are very capable of catching living creatures that are larger than themselves.
Even a bison weighing 900 kilograms, they can still eat it.
The bite depth reached ten inches.
But this giant tiger is obviously fiercer than ordinary tigers.
The people in front of him are all smaller than it, and they don't pay attention to it at all.
However, while the princes were afraid, they had no choice but to rush forward.
Assessments are everywhere, they have to perform well.
The horse ran so fast that all of them were only twenty feet away from the tiger.
For the fierce tiger, not only the princes were afraid of it.
Even the mounts under them were startled and turned around in place, not daring to take another half step forward.
Those horses usually listen to their masters and cooperate with each other tacitly.
When life and death are at stake, no matter how much you use a whip, you are unwilling to move forward.
That is the king of longevity, they don't want to die!
For a while, the princes were competing with their mounts.
Kangxi seemed to be nailed to the horse's back, sitting firmly like a bell.
Moreover, his mount was not afraid of the tiger at all, but because of his control, it rushed forward even faster.
At this time, fourth master was shocked to realize that Kangxi was alone in front of him.
He didn't care about competing with the horse anymore, he directly drew his bow and aimed at the tiger and shot the first arrow.
With a sound of "whoosh", the arrow landed firmly on the tiger, but not at the fatal point.
Then, the king of Zhijun, the third master, the fifth master, and the eighth master also shot the tiger one after another, but they were not fatal.
The rest of the princes didn't shoot at all when the horse was frightened.
However, the few arrows shot did not kill the tiger.
On the contrary, it aroused the tiger's infinite beast + nature, it roared "Aoao", shaking the dust, and the whole ground trembled.
Kangxi sat on the horseback and took it calmly, and looked back at his sons.
I saw that the horses of the princes were insane and paralyzed.
The prince even shouted at him: "Huang Ama, run back, run!"
If Kangxi doesn't run away, he can't run away either.
If the tiger really rushed over, they would all fall into the tiger's mouth and become the tiger's food.
