The current Qing Dynasty is not closed off from the country, but to a certain extent, the Southern Ming Dynasty has been blocked. It was closed, not actively retreated, so there was a siege effect, and I especially wanted to go out and see it.

What's more, they did not suffer a loss in their dealings with the English (in fact, the Dutch pretended to be the Dutch) and the Zhisi Banians, and they introduced a lot of foreign guns and foreign generals, and they took them to fight the Mongols, which was called a sharp one!

In this case, Dolgon, Fan Wenchen, and even the little emperor Shunzhi, who was sitting next to Bumu Butai, wanted to learn about the outside world. Oh, the little emperor of Shunzhi will change his mind soon. Because Dong Gege, who was about to arrive at the Laoshan Palace in Nanjing, would soon send a copy of "Primary School French" to Shunzhi......

Shunzhi, who didn't know that he was going to learn French soon, and couldn't learn worse than his poet brother Gao Sai, couldn't help but interject this time: "Why are they all people with two green flags?" Don't send people to other flags? ”

"Emperor!" Bumu Butai yelled.

Shunji quickly shut up, and looked at Dolgon timidly like a child who had made a mistake.

"That's right," Dolgon felt that Shunji's words made sense, "then add three more...... The three are all old Manchuria, one is recommended by the two red flags, one is recommended by the blue flag, and one is sent by the two imperial flags, so that they will live together, this is the five ministers going abroad! ”

As for the two white flags and the positive blue flag, it is the territory of the three Dolgon brothers, and it is enough to have a Fan Yongdou with a green flag (the green flag is also Dolgon's).

Bumu Butai did not raise any objections, but just asked, "Who exactly are you sending?" ”

"Let's wait for the Ming'er Council and King Meeting to discuss it." Dolgon was already a little tired, so he waved his hand to Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan and said, "You two will work hard and prepare a strategy for going abroad, which will be used by the Council of Ministers of the King of Politics tomorrow." ”

The Qing Dynasty is still the regent of Huang Ama and the Nine Banners (the green flag does not participate in the collegiate council), so the number of ministers who are eligible to participate in the collegial council is eight (Dolgon himself represents the white flag). The leader of them is the Blue Banner Lord Zilharang, who was originally an auxiliary prince like Dolgon, who is now promoted to Emperor Amma, and he has been demoted to the rank of King of Council, but he is still the head of the Eight Council Kings.

In addition to being the head of the eight major political kings, his blue flag also got a "fief" - the blue flag garrison in Kaifeng Mansion Ang Bangzhang Jing Yamen! This yamen is not only in charge of the army, but also of the people. There is no prefect in Kaifeng Prefecture, and the garrison of Angbang Zhangjing is the prefect!

Now the Qing Dynasty does not have a governor, and the province has also been virtualized, which is a geographical name, and there is no corresponding yamen. There are two kinds of state capitals in Kannai, one is the state capital of Zhili, that is, the state capital directly managed by the Council of Ministers of the Council of Parliamentary Princes; The second is the Qili Prefecture Capital, that is, the Prefecture Capital under the jurisdiction of the Nine Banners Garrison Angbang Zhangjing Yamen.

Among them, the Zhili Prefecture is mainly concentrated in the original North Zhili territory, which is regarded as the "heartland" of the Qing Dynasty, while the Qili Prefecture is at the forefront.

The blue flag won Kaifeng Mansion, the blue flag won Henan Mansion, the white flag won Pingyang Mansion, the white flag won Taiyuan Mansion, the red flag won Ruzhou, the red flag won the Daimyo Mansion, the yellow flag won the Zhangde Mansion, the yellow flag won the Weihui Mansion, the green flag won the Jibei (jurisdiction over the Daqing Hebei of Jinan Prefecture), Dongchang (the west of the canal that governs the two provinces of Dongchang and Yanzhou, and the area north of the Daqing River), and the three prefectures of Guide, and the green flag got the Datong Mansion.

At present, the territory directly managed by the Council of Ministers of the Council of Ministers of the Council of Parliaments in the Guannai is only left in the nine prefectures and four prefectures, including Shuntianfu, Yongpingfu, Xuanfu, Baodingfu, Hejian Fu, Zhending Fu, Shunde Fu, Guangping Fu, Lu'an Fu, Liaozhou, Fenzhou, Qinzhou, and Zezhou. Moreover, on the territory of these nine prefectures and four states, there are still 20 million mu of flag land, excluding the flag land under the management of the Eight Banners Gushan Ezhen Yamen (all the land of the old Eight Banners), and the remaining about 25 million mu is the land that pays taxes to the Qing Dynasty. Now the field has risen to one mu and six points of flour, and 25 million mu can harvest about 1.5 million stone flour.

The green flag that occupies Datong Mansion has to pay for exemption from military service because it does not perform military service, and there is about 180,000 stone flour a year, which is also the income of the Qing court.

The nine imperial merchants had to pay a package tax to the Qing court, and the salt tax of the Jiezhou Yantian located in Pingyang Province was also owned by the Qing court, and the tax of the Jinzhou mutual market outside the country was also owned by the Qing Dynasty.

In addition, the banners of the Guanwai, Monan, and Khalkha Mongolian tribes (not affiliated to the Ten Banners) must pay tribute to the Qing Dynasty such as cattle, sheep, horses, furs, Dongzhu, and ginseng.

These tributes were originally not worth much, and they could only be exported in small quantities through the Golden State Mutual Market, but now they suddenly have an additional way to export the wealth of the Japanese Spanian State, and they can also exchange for the guns and cannons that the Qing Dynasty urgently needs, and the eight council kings are all excited.

"Huang Ama, since the leather goods outside the mouth can be exchanged for cannons and firearms, then we must have a good relationship with this country of Sibania, but we can't lose our big customers."

The head of the Eight Kings, King Zheng Jierharang, was the first to express his attitude, "I can let the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Lan Bai take a trip with the blue flag, he is very familiar with the affairs of the Sauron people, and he should be able to come in handy." ”

TONG Jia. Lan Bai was a general with a blue flag, and when Huang Taiji was in power, he was ordered to conquer the Sauron tribes and break the city of Yaksa.

"Prince Li, who do you two red flags recommend?" Dolgon asked Mandahai, the prince of Li, who had just taken the title of Daishan.

Dai Shan died last winter, and his seventh son Man Dahai inherited the position of the prince and the banner lord of the Red Banner, and the banner owner of the red flag, Luo Keduo, the king of Doro Pingbi County, is the great-grandson of Dai Shan, and the two generations of the little Man Dahai, of course, have to listen to Man Dahai. Therefore, Dorgon did not ask Rocodor, who was also the king of the council, but directly asked Mandahai.

"Huang Ama, let Dulan, the prince of Feng'en Town, go!" Manda Haidao, "It's time for him to go out and experience and see the world." ”

Duran is the grandson of Dai Shan, the nephew of Man Dahai, and his brother Luck Dehun is a strong general of the Red Banner and has been crowned the king of Shuncheng County, but he is a master who eats and waits for death.

"Alright," Dolgon didn't disagree, "just let Duran go." As for the two yellow flags...... Why don't you let Sony take a trip? ”

The banner owner of the two yellow flags is the little emperor Shunzhi, who is now studying "New Arithmetic" by himself, and has no time to discuss national affairs, so it is up to Emperor Amadorgon to call the shots.

He said with a smile: "Sonny is proficient in Manchu, Chinese, Mongolian, Tibetan and other four languages, which shows that he has a smart mind and is good at learning foreign languages, which is just the right thing to use." He was asked to learn Japanese (Hisbanian) on the way to the mission, so that he could talk to people when he got to Europa. ”

Sony has to study hard! If you go to Europe, you have to learn Spanish!

Dolgon then said, "Lan Bai, Duran, Sony, Fan Yongdou, plus Yi Shang Cute, a total of five...... All of them were sent by Qin to envoy to the Western ministers, this is the five ministers going abroad!

If you don't have any opinions, this matter is decided! If nothing else, this is the end of today's Council of Ministers. ”

"Huang Ama!" Abatai's son Bolo was the king of the council who represented the Zhenglan Banner and was also the secretary of the military department, "Early this morning, the military department received a report from the Shengjing General's Palace, saying that there was a conflict with the Japanese on Sakhalin Island. ”

"What? Sakhalin? Japanese people? Dorgon was stunned, "How?" Didn't you just finish a big deal, why did you have a conflict? ”

"Oh, Huang Ama, this day is not another day, not a Westerner, but a Japanese." Bolo said, "When the Shengjing General's Mansion reported that they were sent by the Nurgan Meljangjing Yamen in the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River to Sakhalin Island to collect mink skins, they heard that the natives of Sakhalin Island reported that there were Japanese people building a city in the south of the island, so they sent cavalry to investigate, and found a camp built by the Japanese, and there was a conflict with the Japanese, and several people died. ”
