Chapter 351: Temptation
"A good one to take from the people and use it for the people, the old fourteen can already be described as the most virtuous state" Kangxi smiled happily: "With this filial piety, I will take back my life." Kangxi naturally knew the intentions of the old fourteen, and he had been worried about the establishment of the prince, and the old fourteen broke his family to fulfill his former and posthumous names, which made him very happy.
A group of ministers in the study heard Yinzhen say that they wanted to find a big gold mine in Australia as a birthday gift for Kangxi's 60th birthday, and they couldn't help but be speechless, although this ceremony is vulgar, but it is also whimsical, only this hand, is not comparable to other princes, after hearing about it, the princes are estimated to be sad.
"Congratulations to the emperor, in a few years, Australia will be fully reclaimed and open up such a vast and rich overseas territory, which is really an unprecedented innovation, and the title of the emperor is well deserved!" Zhang Pengxi lost no time in standing up and bowing flatteringly, as the banner of the 14th Party, he naturally wanted to add icing on the cake to Yinzhen in time.
Wang Yi followed closely and said: "Not only is it an emperor through the ages, but the exploits of opening up Australia are completely enough to cover the three emperors and five emperors. ”
At the beginning of the two, Yinzhen and a few people were still sitting, and they got up to congratulate and have fun.
Kangxi is really proud in his heart, there is the old fourteenth rich man who vigorously supports immigration, but in three or five years, Australia can develop and consolidate, such a large overseas rich territory, it is indeed unprecedented, famous, it is undoubted, if the overseas division is promoted again, this achievement, it is not an exaggeration to say that the merit covers the three emperors and five emperors.
After a few people congratulated one after another, Kangxi beckoned a few people to sit down, and said with a smile: "The matter of Australia is not suitable for publicity for the time being, and the 5,000 immigrants with the army are best chosen from Shaanxi, leaving enough time for the old 14 to sell Luzon." As he spoke, he changed the topic and said, "The matter of overseas feudalism is also unprecedented, and since it is determined to be implemented, the specific regulations of this subdivision must be agreed upon first, and you will discuss it first."
As soon as several ministers heard this, they all looked at Yinzhen in unison, the overseas division was proposed by the fourteenth master, and he had already talked to Kangxi, this specific charter, there must be, and it must have been discussed with Kangxi, they are just picking up the missing and filling in the gaps.
Seeing that everyone looked over, Yinzhen nodded with a smile, and said calmly: "Overseas separation, but another way to open up overseas territories, now the new continent, the new route has only been opened up for a short time, and the division of the new continent by the Western countries is also in its infancy, but with the development of navigation technology and the rise of emerging maritime powers, the Western countries will inevitably accelerate the speed of carving up the new continent."
In view of this, we should not stick to the old ways, the previous model of laying down one place and consolidating one place cannot adapt to the speed of occupation of the New World, considering that the imperial court has limited energy and cannot reach the New World, so we have introduced the method of overseas feudalization in order to seize the New World to the greatest extent.
Therefore, I propose that the power of overseas vassals be decentralized to the maximum extent possible, and that the territory of each vassal state should be allowed to expand indefinitely in the short term. The royal family is the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, and if it is completely sealed, it will shake the foundation of the Qing Dynasty. ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Pengxi agreed: "Since it is necessary to occupy and open up the territory of the Qing Dynasty in the New World to the greatest extent, it is extremely necessary to decentralize power and have unlimited territory, so as to encourage the feudal states to actively expand their territories." ”
Ma Qi also muttered: "Even if it is to divide the royal family, the slave proposes whether to only give it to his heirs, so that the cohesion of the Qing Dynasty can be strengthened, and the connection between the feudal country and the Qing Dynasty can also be strengthened." ”
Xiao Yongzao then said: "The distance between the New World and the Qing Dynasty is far away, and it is not easy to make a pilgrimage once a year, but it is not easy to indulge it. "How to prevent the encroachment of various feudal states on each other?" Song Zhu asked with a frown.
"For 10 or even 20 years, you can ignore this issue." Yinzhen replied briefly: "During this time, it is estimated that the fiefdoms will not border. ”
Wang then asked, "Overseas division, which continent does the Fourteenth Master plan to start from?" ”
"Nature starts with vast and sparsely populated places, South America, North America, Africa." Yin Zhen said: "The Spaniards have territories in the Americas, whether it is a captured sailor or Manila, there are many sailors who are familiar with the route from Manila to the Americas. ”
Saying that, Yinzhen sighed lightly, and then said: "Since Zheng He went to the Western Ocean, the Westerners have occupied the South Seas and monopolized the overseas trade between the West and the Qing Dynasty.
Now that it was the Age of Discovery, the Qing Dynasty had to open up its own new overseas routes, from Japan to North America, from Australia to South America, from the South Seas to the Mughal Empire, to Persia, to Arabia and other places. ”
Although the ministers are all top figures, for decades, their eyes have only been focused on the territory of the Qing Dynasty, to be precise, the inland provinces, and the Mongolian tribes in the northwest, and the attention to overseas is completely after the declaration of war on Spain.
Seeing that everyone had little objection to the decentralization of full power and the unlimited territory, Kangxi asked a question that everyone was extremely concerned about, but he didn't dare to ask, "What advice do you have for overseas recipients?" ”
Li Guangdi's heart tightened when he listened, but he didn't dare to look at Yinzhen, Kangxi This is a temptation, such a direct temptation, the fourteenth master should not fail to see it, and it is not beautiful to remind him.
Hearing Kangxi's question, Yinzhen was slightly stunned, glanced at Kangxi, and then said cautiously: "Overseas division, all depends on the emperor's holy decision, how dare the sons and daughters overstep?" ”
Kangxi bowed his head slightly, and said with a smile: "It's not a hairpin, it's okay to say it boldly." ”
Yinzhen pondered slightly, and then said: "The navy is the link between the Qing Dynasty and the feudal states, and there are also many children of the clan in the navy, and the sons think that this point must be strictly guarded, simply put, the Beiyang Fleet is responsible for patrolling North America, so those who have children in the Beiyang Fleet cannot be divided into North America, if they want to be divided, they must be transferred from the Beiyang Fleet." ”
Seeing that Yinzhen's words were still unfinished, Kangxi nodded and said, "Thoughtful, go on." ”
"The next thing is balance, and it is best to be able to check and balance each other if they are adjacent to each other." Yinzhen replied cautiously.
"That's what the title should mean." Kangxi smiled slightly: "The navy is the main force to balance the feudal states, and the marines of the navy must be vigorously developed." ”
"Son's Honor." Because he was busy, he bowed down.
