Chapter 348 All Day Tiring

Nourishing Heart Palace, East Warm Pavilion.

Kangxi paced slowly in the hall, deposing the prince, he didn't have much feeling, if it wasn't for the issue of the prince, the prince should have been deposed a few months earlier, originally wanted to delay it for a few more months, but he almost caused a catastrophe, he still has palpitations when he thinks about it.

As soon as the crown prince was abolished, the matter of establishing the prince was also put on the agenda, although the sons were looking at the delay, and the royal family and noble ministers were also staring at this matter closely. Originally, he planned to postpone it for a few years, and although the secret reserve was not very mature, he already had a clear idea.

Unexpectedly, Tongzhou night talk, the old fourteen affirmed and perfected the secret reserve, but on the other hand, he unabashedly pointed out the serious consequences of the secret reserve, he fell into a dilemma again, the old fourteen, this is a stronger prince than the second one, and talent, fame, strength is several times better than the second one, he is now healthy, a little maintenance, and live for another ten or eight years, not a problem, how to get along with such a strong prince?

The secret establishment of the prince, and the end of cannibalism behind him is also detrimental to his reputation, think about it carefully, the method of the former Ming royal family is not unreasonable, at least it saves a lot of troubles.

"Your Majesty, the Fourteenth Master is waiting to see you outside." Li Dequan's voice interrupted Kangxi's musings.

"Call in." Kangxi ordered casually, and then stopped, returned to the kang to sit upright, and the old fourteen had too many details to discuss, Australia, overseas separation, and low-interest lending are all major national affairs, and he has sent someone to inform the ministers of the upper study, and he will come after the meal.

Yinzhen originally thought that Kangxi would talk to him again tomorrow, many things have not been sorted out clearly, and he rushed into the palace early in the morning, at this time he felt hungry, and he couldn't help but have some belly slander. As he spoke, he deliberately added, "Bring the plate osmanthus cake, the old fourteen love to enter." ”

"Thank you for your compassion." Yinzhen was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed down and thanked him.

Kangxi nodded slightly: "There will be some cushions and hunger, the affairs are complicated, and a few ministers in the study will come in a while, and some things must be decided first." As he spoke, he cut to the chase and said, "How long will it take for the Nanyang Fleet to conquer the Garopa?" ”

"Back to the emperor Amma, because of the rush of time, I didn't have time to keep up with the military intelligence spying, and the intelligence of the Karopa, it was still last winter, at that time, the Dutch had only twelve warships in the Karopa, only four fourth-class battleships, and the rest were auxiliary ships." Yinzhen bowed and said in a deep voice: "The Spanish Far East Fleet has arrived in Manila, and the sons are worried that the Netherlands will increase the number of troops in the Karopa, and at present, since Manila has been captured, the detailed military situation of the Karopa should be reported soon."

Liu Zhisheng, the commander of the Nanyang Fleet, was well aware of the art of war and was cautious in case of trouble, while Lin Wei was brave and good at fighting, thoughtful, and extremely good at controlling.

Now what needs to be considered is to increase the troops in Nanyang to consolidate the occupied territory, Nanyang is more than the Han people of Fujian and Guangdong, and the ministers plan to transfer Han soldiers from the Guangdong Navy Division and Fujian Navy Division to the south, win the support of the local Han people, establish order, and after stability, calmly transfer and change the generals. ”

Hearing that Karopa could be conquered in two months, Kangxi couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said tentatively: "In this way, wouldn't the soldiers and horses occupying Australia have to be mobilized to the south immediately?" ”

"Emperor Ama, this matter is not in a hurry." Yinzhen calmly replied: "There are many storms in the summer of the South Seas, and it is not suitable for long-distance sailing, and the Karopa, as a transit station, will also need time to consolidate. ”

The old fourteen is not arrogant or boring, everything is stable, and he is indeed worthy of a great responsibility, Kangxi put his mind at ease, however, considering the old fourteen's heavy use of Han soldiers in the navy, he is quite worried, with the occupation of Nanyang and Australia, and the implementation of overseas feudalism, the status of the navy is becoming more and more prominent, and the scale is bound to become larger and larger. ..., groaning slightly, Kangxi said: "The navy is not divided into Han and Mongolian returns, which is conducive to coordinated warfare and command, but the proportion of Han soldiers is too large, but it is very worrying, what do you think of this matter?" ”

What is there to worry about, in the late Qing Dynasty, this country was supported by the Han people, Yinzhen slandered in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak out. Kangxi had mentioned the matter of the navy not being divided into Manchu and Han before, but he had not studied it deeply, and this time he brought up the old matter again, presumably because Liu Zhisheng and Lin Wei were worried about the control of the Nanyang Fleet.

In this matter, I really have to communicate with Kangxi well, so as not to promote the admiral in the future, and Kangxi will come forward to hinder him, and he will be completely passive at that time. However, in this matter, I was really worried that Kangxi would not accept it, thinking of this, Yinzhen looked up at Kangxi, but he wanted to stop talking.

As soon as he saw Yinzhen's demeanor, Kangxi knew that the old fourteen had out-of-the-ordinary ideas, this matter is not only related to the development of the navy, but also related to the reliability and loyalty of the navy. As he spoke, he turned his head and instructed the living note: "Don't keep records." ”

Speaking of the instructions of Zhang Tingyu, the living note, he couldn't help but be depressed, Kangxi has always been upright, and he rarely makes an exception and is not allowed to keep records, but he has met twice when he talks to the fourteenth master. However, he was also very curious, although the Fourteenth Master was bold, he often had amazing words, which was a good opportunity for insight.

Seeing Kangxi like this, Yinzhen no longer hesitated, anyway, he wanted to say, it was better to say it earlier, and after a little hesitation, he said: "Huang Ama, there are many people who can't water the children of the Eight Banners Manchu and Mongolian, which greatly limits the development of the Manchu and Mongolian children in the navy, and the navy will become larger and larger in the next tens and hundreds of years."

Not only the Beiyang and Nanyang fleets, with the development of Australia and the promotion of overseas divisions, the Australian fleet, the American fleet, the African fleet, and so on will be gradually developed, and the size of the navy must be maintained at least at more than 200,000.

With such a huge fleet, the promotion, appointment, reward, and punishment of generals, officers, and non-commissioned officers must be fair and just, and a complete set of systems must be formed to ensure the healthy development of the navy; otherwise, no matter how good the warships and artillery are, no matter how huge the fleet is, it will be vulnerable to attack.

Erchen thought that the navy must be treated equally, and if the children of the Eight Banners enjoyed privileges everywhere in the navy and were one rank higher than the Han people everywhere, it would greatly dampen the enthusiasm of the Han officers and men, and such a navy would completely collapse in less than three or five years, and no matter how good the warships were, they would be handed away. ”

When Yinzhen said this, he stopped abruptly, Kangxi glanced at him, and then said in a deep voice: "Don't hide it, talk about all the thoughts that are held in your heart." ”

Yinzhen said vaguely: "It's nothing more than this and that, there are many things at the moment, and it's not too late to talk about them in detail in the future." ”

Zhang Tingyu is extremely talented, and he has guessed that what Yinzhen wants to say must be the Manchu and Han Dynasty defenses or something, so he immediately got up, saluted, and retreated silently.

Kangxi also looked at Yinzhen with interest, and secretly wondered in his heart, the old fourteen is so good, is it possible that there are amazing words? Seeing that Zhang Tingyu had withdrawn, he smiled and said, "Let's listen to it in detail." ”

Yinzhen said with a solemn expression: "Huang Ama, with millions of people in the country to dominate the Han people's hundreds of millions of people, all the time are like walking on thin ice, every moment is as dangerous as eggs, not only to prevent the Han people, but also to prevent the Mongols, the dynasty has been in charge of the Central Plains for more than 70 years, and has adopted a series of powerful strategies, high pressure, Huairou, differentiation, envelopment, etc., and now it is the peace of the world and the desire of the people. But Huang Ama still did not dare to slack off, and the fundamental reason for this is this.

Erchen said boldly, in the past, those Eight Banners who traveled thousands of miles, were exposed year after year, parasitic blades, and did not know the way back have begun to be fully corrupted and degenerate, and today's Eight Banners disciples are prostituting and gambling, extorting and stealing, fighting cocks, fighting birds, fighting crickets, hiring people to be errands, reselling military rations, putting printing money, pawning money and food, and even sending armor and weapons into pawnshops for money. …,

The world has only been peaceful for more than 20 years, and the children of the Eight Banners have been corrupted to this step, and after a hundred years of prosperity, can the Qing Dynasty still rely on the children of the Eight Banners to protect the country and defend the frontier?

On the other hand, the Han people, after more than 50 years of diligent governance and continuous success, the gentry and the common people have gone from resistance to recognition to return. Why do we cling to the children of the Eight Banners and keep the vast number of Han people out?

Erchen's implementation of the Manchu and Han and Mongolian Hui in the navy was not only out of the needs of the navy itself, but also because he wanted to use it as an attempt to observe the results of the implementation.

The territory of the Qing Dynasty is vast, and there are many ethnic groups, rather than using less to control more and be vigilant all day long, it is better to integrate all ethnic groups, integrate all ethnic groups, and integrate the Manchus into it, so that it can be done once and for all, even if there are one or two weak kings in later generations, there is no need to worry about the disaster of destroying the nation and destroying the country. ”

National integration? Kangxi was shocked by Yinzhen's whimsical thoughts for a long time and didn't come back to his senses, after the integration of nationalities, are there still Manchus? What about the royal family?

The corruption of the children of the Eight Banners, this is obvious to all, and the speed of its degeneration is even more outrageous, the old fourteen is very reasonable, and the peace for decades, the children of the Eight Banners cannot be relied on at all, and if they continue to connive, they can only accelerate their corruption.

What about the Han Chinese? Is it true that the Han people have completely returned to their hearts, to the point where they can rely on the Han people to maintain the Qing Dynasty? This old fourteen really dares to think!

Rectify the flag affairs, and the flag affairs must be comprehensively rectified! The matter of national integration involves too much, and depending on the effect of rectifying the flag affairs, if the children of the Eight Banners are really unable to return to the sky and are unable to use it anymore, it is not too late to consider this matter.

After thinking about it for a long time, Kangxi muttered: "Don't forget the fundamentals of everything, always be prepared for danger in times of peace, very good!" The Navy, as you say, is an attempt. However, when it comes to logistical supplies, it must be strictly controlled, and the navy is now the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, and there is no room for mistakes. ”
