Chapter 358 Reward Controversy

With Yinzhen's return to Shanghai, Kangxi's will to reward the navy also spread quickly, Yinzhen beat the prince who was punished by Oro Dai and rewarded it again, Yinxiang sealed Beizi, Wu Ge and Yande were awarded to the deputy generals, Del Xu, Liu Zhisheng, Lin Wei, Fu Anding, and Fuhan were awarded to the generals, and the garrison, the thousand generals, the general generals, the general affairs, the pro-military academy, and the military academy were awarded a large layer.

The navy didn't want Kangxi to pay salaries, and he rewarded him without dragging his feet, not to mention that at this time, when the naval battle in the South Seas was about to break out and the navy was expanding its army, such a reward could not only attract people's hearts, but also stabilize the morale of the army, and would also be of great benefit to the integration of major coastal naval divisions in the future.

As soon as the news of Kangxi's lavish reward for the navy spread, it directly triggered a craze for participating in the navy, and naturally it also caused huge discussions among the government and the opposition, especially Liu Zhisheng, Lin Wei, and Fu Anding, three Han people with no background, who have become three-grade members since the founding of the Qing Dynasty.

Although the civil officials were jealous, they didn't say anything, Kangxi moved Gao Shiqi seven times a day, which was much more shocking than this, besides, the navy was a great victory in the national war, with a brilliant record, and now it refers to the time when the navy is contributing, who has nothing to do to touch the moldy head of Kangxi and the fourteenth master, isn't that a butt trick?

But a group of generals can quarrel so much, who doesn't have any ideas for combat exploits? Why is the Navy able to move so far? is a third-grade general, how many generals can't cross this threshold in a lifetime, the navy is good, three are mentioned at once, and they are all directly promoted from white to generals, and they don't let people live?

However, no one made trouble in the Guangdong Navy Division and the Fujian Navy Division, and the generals of the Guangdong Navy Division were consciously faceless, and the Wanshan Islands were defeated by the Spanish fleet in the first battle, but the navy captured and captured the entire Spanish fleet in one fell swoop, and they couldn't raise their heads, so where did they dare to have opinions?

The Fujian Navy Division has not only seen the strength of the navy, but also has vested interests, the first battle of Penghu, the 14th master of the Fujian Navy division generals also have a lot of protection, since the commander Shi Shibiao below there are many rewards, and the coastal sailors into the navy has been the trend of the times, where are the generals willing to offend the navy.

Noisy and noisy, noisy and noisy, none of the local generals had the courage to stab in front of Kangxi, the last time for the navy's salary, Fujian Navy Admiral Wu Ying complained on the fold, not only was he scolded by Kangxi, but even the position of the admiral was cut, this matter has long been spread in the officialdom, who is idle and hurts, to repeat Wu Ying's mistakes.

The generals in the capital are more cautious about this matter, and they have more concerns, and there are many clan disciples who are rewarded together.

For this reward, Yinzhen was greatly disappointed, the naval officers were rewarded, but for a group of technical craftsmen, Kangxi's reward was much more stingy, Dai Zi said in the past, rewarded a member of the Ministry of Labor, the head of each factory and workshop was awarded the title of the main officer, and the other craftsmen were all rewarded with the title of the Ministry of Works.

Although Yinzhen is not satisfied, but as soon as the news spreads, the various factories and workshops are happy, this year, the status of craftsmen is low to the point of outrageous, although in the second year of Shunzhi, the imperial court has explicitly abolished the craftsman registration system, but all over the country is still in a variety of forms of makeovers to enslave and use craftsmen, and some local craftsmen are even 'one body and two servants'.

When I arrived in Shanghai, I entered the factory, and the treatment given by a group of craftsmen to Yinzhen was already grateful to Dade, but I didn't expect that the craftsman could still be awarded the official body, although it was only nine products, but it was an official body, and this social status was a world of difference. As soon as the news spread, the sealed ones were ecstatic, but the unsealed ones also saw hope, and under the fourteenth master, there was also a chance to get ahead as a craftsman! ..., the whole Honggang was boiling, the sound of firecrackers was endless, it rang for a long time, the people of Shanghai were also very angry after finding out what happened, many gentry secretly sighed, craftsmen can appreciate the official body, this world is not going to change?

Yinzhen was not satisfied, and specially held a grand ceremony for the reward of the craftsman, not only rewarded 5,000 taels of silver, but also publicly promised that a skilled craftsman, but if a major improvement or major invention is made, the reward will be awarded at any time, and the reward for the craftsman is by no means limited to nine products.

As soon as the news spread, it immediately caused a huge response, and skilled craftsmen and miscellaneous talents from all over the country came one after another. The children of wealthy people from all over the world are also eager to join Shanghai, and joining the navy has become a shortcut to joining the government.

Since the beginning of March, Yinzhen led the navy to the sea to meet the Spanish fleet, and did not appear publicly in Shanghai, and in less than three months, the entire Qing Dynasty is changing, Yinzhen has been on the cusp of the storm, after the calm and calm, he has also become the biggest beneficiary, many officials are clearly aware that the fourteenth master has become the biggest winner of the competition.

It is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, the icing on the cake is easy, and the officialdom is still like this, yes, I heard that Yinzhen returned to Shanghai, officials from all over the country came to hear the wind, and rich businessmen from all over the country also came to the door to ask for the shares of the trade fleet.

Shanghai is bustling and noisy, but Guangzhou is in the midst of cold rain

A number of officials in Guangdong got the news in mid-April that the imperial court was going to first implement the 'apportionment into the mu' in Guangdong, and the lineup of the Qincha who came was unprecedentedly strong, including the fourth son of the emperor, Prince Yong, Yinzhen, Zhao Shenqiao, the left capital of the Imperial Procuratorate, Saltai, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, and Wang Yuanqi, the left attendant of the Household Department.

As soon as the news spread, the Guangdong officialdom was in an uproar, Saltai and Wang Yuanqi did not say it, few people had heard of it, but Prince Yong Yinzhen was a famous 'cold face king', and Zhao Shenqiao, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, was even known as the 'official slaughter'.

Zhao Hongcan, the governor of Liangguang, did not dare to slack off at all, and immediately rushed to Guangzhou, and urgently convened officials at all levels in Guangdong to discuss countermeasures with Man Pi, the governor of Guangdong, and unanimously decided to vigorously support the implementation of the 'paving into the mu' to invite the sacred heart and protect the official hat.

However, no one expected that before the arrival of Yinzhen, the prince of Yong, Zhao Shenqiao, the imperial history of the left capital of the Imperial Procuratorate, arrived in Guangzhou only four days ago, and he went to the book to impeach the governor of Guangdong, Manpi, the political envoy Tang Yu, the governor of Guangzhou Liu Zijie, Suo Yunfan of the grain road, and Guan Renxin of the river road Taiguan, embezzling money and grain, corrupting and crippling the people.

Guangdong officialdom was in an uproar, everyone was in danger, they have always been officials for thousands of miles just for money, Guangdong is far away from the emperor, the local literary style is not prosperous, there are few big people in the court, and Guangzhou's overseas trade is prosperous, it is the most ideal place to make money, who can be clean under the ass of a group of officials?

When I met Zhao Shenqiao, the imperial history of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who did not pay attention to the rules of officialdom, and at the beginning of getting off the bus, he didn't ask about the indiscriminate 'official slaughter', and it was strange that he didn't panic.

Prince Yong Yinzhen was eight days late before rushing to Guangzhou, at this time, the "official slaughter" Zhao Shenqiao swept the provincial high-ranking officials in a loud uproar, as soon as Yinzhen entered the city, he heard about it, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised, why would Zhao Shenqiao be so reckless?

Wu Sidao groaned slightly, and then said with a smile: "Lord Zhao's 'killing stick' is a little more ruthless. ”

'Killer'? Yin Zhen hesitated and said, "He doesn't worry about causing the disgust of the officials of Guangdong Province?" ”

"Then he won't be called 'Guan Tu'." Wu Sidao chuckled and said, "The fourth master doesn't need to dwell on this matter, do you know if the emperor still has the will to rectify the rule of officials?" Just ask for the implementation of 'paving into acres'. After a little hesitation, he continued: "However, it is more appropriate for the fourth master to have a private visit to Weifu for a few days, and they will not know the whereabouts of the fourth master." ..., "That's very good." Yin Zhen nodded, turned his head and instructed the guards: "Find a quiet place nearby, and rest for two days first." ”

Settle down, Yinzhen sent a group of people out to listen to the news, but he was lying on a high pillow, the sea was stormy, he was seasick and dizzy these days, Meimei slept for a while, when he woke up, it was dusk, Yinzhen stretched his waist very comfortably, only pushed the door out, walked to the yard, and saw Wu Sidao lying on the recliner under the shade of the tree looking at the sky in a daze.

Yin Zhen couldn't help but be shocked, is there bad news again? Thinking about it, he walked slowly, Wu Sidao was startled by his footsteps, turned his head to look at him, and handed him a few pigeon letters without a word.

Yin Zhen quickly swept it, it was the news of Luzon's sale, the discovery of Australia, overseas sub-sealing, and the navy's reward, his face was clouded immediately, don't think about it, he also knew that these were the handiwork of the old fourteen, compared to the discovery of Australia and overseas sub-enveloping, this 'spread into acres' is not worth mentioning at all.

What's even more worrying is that the old fourteenth has won the hearts of the people through the two methods of selling in Luzon and overseas feudalization, not to mention him, even the eighth can no longer compete with him.

"The fourteenth master is really a great talent, Sidao is conceited all his life, unintentional, and there are times when he is secret." Wu Sidao sighed, but handed over a pigeon letter that was clenched in the palm of his left hand.

A hundred secrets? Yin Zhen's heart jumped, and when he looked down, it was a report on the news that the Beijing Bu Military Camp was searching for pigeon farmers on a large scale within fifty miles from Beijing, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "Why did Mr. say this?" The nearest pigeon whistle is also a hundred miles away from the capital, and it has been moved, so it is impossible to be detected. ”

"Since the Fourteenth Master has already suspected that the flying pigeon has passed the book, and he has sent a large-scale search to the military camp, why did he stop hastily?" Wu Sidao said in a deep voice: "Its intention is nothing more than to tell and remind others in this way that someone is spreading the news by means of flying pigeons, and if they contact the rumors of Jingshi, everyone will naturally suspect the fourth master." ”

Yin Zhen was shocked into a cold sweat, if this is the case, but it is very worried, those people are the top people, from the flying pigeon to pass the book can naturally be associated with his secret strength, and may even think of the assassination of the old fourteen in Guangzhou, what should I do?
