Chapter 147: The Controversy over the Removal of Taiwan

Kangxi issued this edict with the nature of a guilty edict, originally intended to cut off several henchmen of the crown prince Yinren in the name of drought, but as a result, the news of changing the leniency to strictness immediately spread in the capital, which made him have to temporarily dispel this idea.

At present, the situation is delicate, and the stability of the court situation must be maintained, once the people are panicked and the court situation is turbulent, it will inevitably give the crown prince Yinren an opportunity to take advantage of, so that even if the prince is abolished, a large number of officials will be implicated, which will damage the dignity of the court, also damage his own reputation, and hinder the implementation of the follow-up plan.

Li Guangdi is not only an old minister, but also a minister who is extremely favored by Kangxi, his performance is right, Kangxi is very useful, and he just pushes the boat along the river, and immediately said: "Since ancient times, the righteousness of monarchs and ministers is profound, and they must be virtuous and virtuous, so that they can feel the heart of heaven and summon harmony. Today, at this time of drought, our monarchs and ministers should work together, sleep all night, and always and everywhere think of the people, so as to expect the rain to flourish early. ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were completely relaxed, the crown prince Yinren and the eighth elder brother Yinzhen also breathed a long sigh of relief, Kangxi glanced at the ministers in the palace with cold eyes, and said slowly: "The fourteenth son of the emperor Yinzhen wrote to ask for permission to move 300,000 hungry people from Fujian to Taiwan, please allow to relax the restrictions on entering Taiwan, and please allow officials and gentry to enter Taiwan with their families." What is the objection of the ministers? ”

The ministers just breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't expect Kangxi to throw out such a big issue again, and the three requests of the fourteenth elder brother Yinzhen completely subverted the imperial court's policy towards Taiwan, and the hearts of the ministers who had just put it down suddenly rose again.

In order to recover Taiwan, the imperial court alone 'moved the border and forbidden the sea' for more than 20 years, and the losses caused were simply immeasurable, and the price paid for this was too great, even the losses caused by the 'rebellion of the three feudatories' were far from catching up with the losses caused by the 'relocation and forbidden sea', and it was precisely for this reason that after the recovery of Taiwan, the imperial court, all the Manchu and Han officials, strongly supported the adoption of an extremely perverted suppression policy against Taiwan, for fear that Taiwan would once again cause chaos and become a base for resisting the imperial court, and once again 'move the border and ban the sea'.

After the reopening of the maritime trade, the huge profits of the maritime trade caused the senior officials of the DPRK and the central government, the princes and nobles to step in one after another, and get a piece of the pie.

Yinzhen's three requests are completely open to Taiwan, Taiwan is isolated overseas, and the control of the imperial court is weak, who dares to guarantee that there will not be a second Zheng family or the Lin family and the Chen family to cut off the island? Is it going to be another expedition to Taiwan?

And what's even more interesting is that Kangxi actually raised this issue at the court meeting to discuss, what does he mean? Is it for or against? Is it full or semi-support? The big guys are still thinking about it.

Zhao Shenqiao, the imperial history of the left capital of the Imperial Procuratorate, took the lead in standing up, "Your Majesty, more is better than less, prosperity is good, and there will be disadvantages, since the imperial court recovered Taiwan, the Taiwan policy has been consistent, and in the past 30 years, the world is peaceful and the southeast is worry-free, which is enough to prove that the Taiwan policy is effective and correct." If changes are made in vain, it will only increase the variables, and we believe that Taiwan is isolated overseas, no more than the inland, and development is the second, and stability is the first priority. ”

After listening to this, all the ministers secretly praised Zhao Shenqiao for his courage, "More things are better than less things, and if you prosper a benefit, you will have a disadvantage." These words were the original words of Kangxi's reprimand of Pan Zongluo, the governor of Biyuan, in March, and he dared to quote them in his original words.

This performance is too alarming, and all the ministers who agree with it don't dare to stand up and second, all of them are silent, there is no risk, then they seconded it, Zhao Shenqiao is right, the risk is too great, whoever dares to second, maybe it will become his scapegoat. Although Zhao Shenqiao is smelly and hard, he is as incorruptible as water, even if Kangxi is dissatisfied, he will not attack him, they are people, but it is difficult to say.

Kangxi heard this, but the expression on his face did not change at all, Zhao Shenqiao's words are indeed the words of the old Cheng to seek the country, and Taiwan's stability is indeed much more important than development and development. However, he dared to quote his original words to block himself, which was a bit impure, but he didn't have a seizure, just kept silent.

Zhang Pengxi, a scholar of Wenhuadian University and minister of the upper study, couldn't hold back when he heard this, immigrating to Taiwan and changing the policy toward Taiwan was proposed by the 14th Master Yinzhen, and he, the leader of the 14th Party, had to support it, he stood up and said calmly: "Your Majesty, Weichen does not dare to agree with Lord Zhao's opinion, just as the so-called at this time, at that time, the imperial court's policy towards the local government has never been immutable, Taiwan is isolated overseas, only stability first, there is no doubt about this.

The Taiwan policy is a major task of the imperial court, and since the king of the county has proposed to immigrate to Taiwan and change the policy toward Taiwan, he must have thought it through.

Since Lord Zhao was worried about Taiwan's stability, Wechen had to vomit as fast as possible, Wechen returned to Beijing from Shanghai last month, and the king of Suijun trained the navy and built an ocean-going fleet in Shanghai, although the time was quite short, but it was very effective, in less than a year, the king of Suijun had already trained the navy into a majestic and mighty army of tigers and wolves, and the warships under construction were also huge ships with 100 guns and 1,000 people, far from being comparable to the 400 warships of the naval division.

Since Taiwan is not in danger of instability, why is it not exploited and utilized? The imperial court's conquest of Taiwan, time-consuming, and painstaking efforts, should it be left barren? Moreover, the mountainous areas of Fujian and Guangdong are all land where the people are widowed and have no land to cultivate, but Taiwan's fertile land is left to be idle and barren, doesn't it hurt the emperor's love for the people? ”

As soon as Zhang Pengxi's words fell, the head of the household department Ka Mintu immediately stood up, "What Lord Zhang said is very true, Taiwan is vast and sparsely populated, the climate is suitable, and the land is fertile, once it is released, the people along the coast who have no land to cultivate, no work to work, and no food to find will gladly go, and within a few years, it will surely prosper, and the imperial court only needs to send officials to govern and consolidate it, which is really a move for the benefit of the country and the people." ”

The 14th Party in the court was just two of them, and after the two finished speaking, the court was silent.

Kangxi glanced at the ministers in the palace, but he secretly scolded in his heart, this old fourteenth, standing up for his own party, but not pulling people, and waiting for me to build a team for him, is really hateful, but these fourteen party members are indeed too few, yes, give him a few more people, otherwise it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the court, let alone fight against the prince's party and the eight parties.

Kangxi was silent, and the ministers couldn't figure out his mind, and they didn't dare to speak indiscriminately, they all reported a wait-and-see attitude, anyway, there were opinions for support and opposition, it depended on what Kangxi's opinion was.

Seeing this situation, the crown prince Yinren secretly thought that this was a good opportunity for the old fourteen to sell favors, so he turned around and played: "Huang Ama, the ministers agree with what Lord Zhang said, since Taiwan is as stable as a rock, it is naturally not suitable to be left barren, and if Taiwan can be developed, it will also be a great event of the imperial court. ”

As soon as the eighth elder brother Yinxi saw that the prince expressed his support, he knew that he wanted to win over the old fourteenth, so he naturally did not want him to succeed, and also played: "Huang Ama, the fourteenth brother is in Fujian to appease the hungry people, and Taiwan is just a sea away, at this time he proposed to adjust the Taiwan policy, and must have a deep understanding and insight into the people's feelings in Fujian and Taiwan. ”

Li Guangdi, a scholar from Anxi, Fujian, is particularly familiar with the situation in Fujian and Taiwan, and seeing that it is already a one-sided situation, he also bowed down and said: "Qi to the emperor, the king of the county is really loyal to the country, and the old man is a move to seek the country, once Taiwan is liberalized, within five years, it can become a big granary, not only self-sufficient, but also can sell back grain in Fujian, Guangdong, immigration to develop Taiwan, is an unprecedented initiative in all dynasties, Weichen prays for the emperor's permission." ”

The three of them expressed their positions one after another, and the ministers naturally followed suit, and those who were willing to oppose it could only be stuffed in their hearts, and those who didn't see Kangxi were already smiling.

Sure enough, Kangxi immediately spoke: "Since all the ministers and workers are strongly supportive, I will immediately send an edict to the world, allowing 300,000 hungry people from Fujian to immigrate to Taiwan, and also allowing officials and ordinary people to bring their families into Taiwan." As for the lifting of restrictions on entering Taiwan, it will take a little time to prevent the landless and stateless people from various provinces from pouring into Taiwan and causing chaos. ”

Speaking of this, Kangxi glanced at Zhao Shenqiao, who was still kneeling, and said slowly: "Those in high positions, the primary responsibility is to weigh the pros and cons of government affairs. Think more about everything, don't blindly copy it. ”

After a little hesitation, Kangxi said again: "Nine droughts in the north in ten years, the fourteenth son of the emperor Yinzhen proposed to promote drought-resistant and high-yield crops, which is a matter of great importance. ”

Shi Shilun, the second son of Shi Lang, successively served as the prefect of Yangzhou, Jiangning, and Suzhou, the deputy envoy of Jiangnan Huaixu Dao, the political envoy of Anhui Bu, the Zhengqing of Taifu Temple, the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, the left deputy capital of the Ducha courtyard, and the household servant. He is smart and decisive, quasi-restrained and cunning, forbidden, living in a place, doing everything for the people, with a significant reputation in the local area, a clear name, 30 years of living in the official, innocent and self-controlled, consistent, and has also been commended by Kangxi as 'the first clean official in the world'.

Shi Shilun didn't expect Kangxi to let himself concurrently serve as the deputy chief superintendent of the General Administration of Customs, and also oversaw the promotion of drought-resistant and high-yield crops, so he stood up and thanked him steadily.

A number of officials who wanted to join the 14 th Party but could not enter the door were envious, and they were also the deputy chief superintendent of the General Administration of Customs and the promotion of drought-resistant and high-yield crops, so they naturally became a member of the 14 th Party.

Shi Shilun can't say what he is suffering, among the brothers, he and his sixth brother Shi Shituo are the ones who are good, they have all become the Fourteenth Party, and the Shi family is tied to the Fourteenth Master.
