Chapter 346: The Second Waste Prince
I'm afraid to look at the clan nobles, big and small courtiers talking to each other, sitting on the dragon chair with a smile on his face, very complacent in his heart, just hearing the news of Australia, the ministers have been so gaffe, if they know that there is a super gold mine in Australia, I don't know what kind of system they will become?
Since the old fourteenth has poked out the news of Australia, the affairs of Australia must be finalized, the exchange of courtesies, and the division of the Nanyang islands must also help the old fourteen to deal with the aftermath, thinking of this, Kangxi coughed lightly, and the minister of the palace immediately quieted down quickly from front to back.
Kangxi glanced at the ministers, then stopped his gaze on Yinzhen, and asked in a deep voice: "Such a plastered place, and it is ownerless, it is God who gave me the Qing Dynasty, how can I occupy it as soon as possible?" ”
"Back to the Emperor Ama." Yinzhen replied in a loud voice: "To Australia, the nearest route, that is, from the east of Karopa, if you want to get Australia, you must first get off Karopa!" Erchen immediately ordered the Nanyang Fleet to capture the Karopa and open a sea route to Australia, but this would be tantamount to declaring war on the Dutch.
Kang Qi glanced at everyone and asked in a deep voice, "What do the ministers think about this?" ”
Song Zhu, the minister of the upper study, took the lead in expressing his position: "As the emperor said, Nanyang is the throat of the Qing Dynasty to overseas, whether it is to occupy Australia or to divide overseas, we must resolutely occupy Nanyang, for this reason, war with the Netherlands, also do not hesitate." ”
Yin Tebu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, followed closely and said: "Your Majesty, the land of Australia is so vast, even if you pour the strength of the country, you must include it in the territory of the Qing Dynasty, so why not fight with the Netherlands?" ”
Sun Zhenghao, the Han Shangshu of the Ministry of War, also followed closely and said: "Weichen seconded the proposal, Nanyang is a key place, how can the Netherlands be entrenched for a long time?" ”
The competition for the South Seas with the Netherlands is not only related to the occupation of Australia, but also related to the overseas division, and a group of princes and county kings led by Yinqi, the prince of Wu'a Ge Heng, immediately followed up and seconded the proposal.
Many ministers in the palace were quite worried about starting a war with Spain and the Netherlands at the same time, but when they saw this posture, they were too frightened to speak.
However, there are always those who are not afraid of offending people, and as soon as the voice of the seconding proposal is weak, the minister of the upper study Wang came out and said: "Your Majesty, Spain and the Netherlands are both Western maritime powers, and the Netherlands' maritime strength is better than that of Spain. ”
The Ministry of Rites replied and followed closely: "The slave seconded the proposal, and today it has only been more than 20 years since Chengping, it is the time when the four seas are leveled, the Haiyan River is clear, and the Qing Dynasty is created. ”
As soon as they saw the king and Waerda came out one after another, the ministers who were originally worried about this immediately followed suit, once the Qing Dynasty fell into a protracted war, the people were certainly suffering, and their lives were not easy, even if they wanted to take Nanyang, they didn't care about waiting for another year and a half.
Eighth Elder Brother Yin saw this situation, but his heart was happy, with the current strength of the navy, while confronting Spain, the Netherlands two maritime powers, it is indeed not a good chance of victory, if the old fourteenth is defeated in the South Seas, there will be a good show to watch, at that time, a group of clan ministers in the case of cutting off overseas separation, will inevitably attack the old fourteen, even Kangxi is afraid that he will have to entrust him.
Thinking of this, he was excited for a while, thought slightly, and then came out and said: "The Qing Dynasty has declared war on Spain, and captured Spain's Far East Fleet, conquered Manila, and occupied Greater Luzon. …,
If the navy can fully occupy the South Seas, then it will be able to meet Spain in the South Seas and avoid the flames of war on the southeast coast of our country. ”
Kangxi glanced at Yin expressionlessly, and secretly thought in his heart, Lao Ba's eyesight is still good, and placing the battlefield in Nanyang can indeed avoid the southeast coast from being affected by the war, but if you want to see the good show of the old fourteen, I am afraid that I will be disappointed, and the old fourteen plans to face the three alliances of Spain, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.
Yinzhen couldn't see this careful thinking, but he turned his head and nodded slightly to Yinzhen with a smile, before looking back and calmly saying: "What Starling said is very insightful, at present, the Netherlands does not have many troops in the South Seas, and it is easy to conquer the Garopa and expel the Netherlands from the South Seas.
There are many islands in the South Sea, the terrain is complicated, from the West to the north into the South Sea, there are only two routes, there are also two choke points, one is full of thorns, the other is Gara ● Both places are dangerous terrain, the sea area is narrow, choke these two places, you can control the foreign warships into the South Sea, repel the enemy outside the South Sea.
In addition, Spain and the Netherlands are in the same Western Ocean, and once the news of the destruction of the Spanish Far East Fleet reaches the Western Ocean, the Netherlands will inevitably increase its troops in the South Seas in order to ensure the security of the South Sea territory.
In addition, it is difficult to guarantee that the discovery of Australia will not be leaked, and once the Western countries flock to it, it will add many accidents, so it is urgent to capture the South Seas! ”
As soon as Yinzhen's words fell, Kangxi no longer gave the opponents a chance at all, and immediately raised his voice: "Yinzhen is very worried, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, the Admiralty immediately mobilized all forces to capture Nanyang as soon as possible and open up the sea route to Australia. ”
"Son's Honor." Yinzhen was also the leader of the hurry and finalized the matter.
Seeing that it was a foregone conclusion, Wang, Waerda and others also knew that it was useless to say more, and offended people in vain, so they were silent, but Kangxi continued: "Spain and the Netherlands are both Western maritime powers, and they should not be ignored. The Qing Dynasty Royal Navy recently chose an auspicious day to form an army, the Penghu Naval Battle, the Battle of Manila, the reward of meritorious soldiers, and the day of the formation of the navy. ”
Originally, when Kangxi was in Tianjin, he had made it clear that he would postpone it, but he didn't expect that in just a few days, he changed his mind because of the conquest of Greater Luzon, Yinzhen was naturally overjoyed, and immediately thanked him: "Erchen on behalf of all the naval officers and soldiers thank the emperor for his holy grace." ”
Kangxi nodded, and Fang continued: "Australia, a vast land, is not very far from Nanyang and Liangguang, but the half-moon voyage is coming, I intend to set up officials after the full occupation, establish a province and govern, in addition, Nanyang is a strategic place, the imperial court wants to build a Nanyang province, and the islands such as Medan and Borneo are not suitable to be divided, in addition, overseas places can be divided." ”
As soon as I heard that Australia and Nanyang were not among the feudal feuds, the royal family and noble ministers couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but when they heard that in addition to these two places, the rest could be divided, and their hearts warmed up again.
Kangxi didn't forget Yinzhen's original intention of mentioning Australia, groaned slightly, and said: "Occupy and develop Australia, urgently need population, tell all places, and list Australia as the exile of the imperial court, and Suerda will change to exile in Australia." ”
As soon as I heard that Surda was changed to exile in Australia, all the princes and clans were in their hearts, and they fell into the hands of the navy, and the consequences of Surda's vein can be imagined, but this move did not make an exception, and no one dared to object, besides, Yinzhen's navy is now hot, who is willing to offend the entire navy? Do you still want to divide overseas? ..., After dealing with the affairs of Australia and Nanyang, Kangxi also breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at His Royal Highness's ministers, and then nodded to Li Dequan, Li Dequan saw it, and hurriedly took a few steps forward, walked to the bottom of the steps, unfolded the holy decree in his hand, and read it aloud: "To the kings, Baylor, Beizi, ministers, etc., because of their perverse behavior, they once deposed and imprisoned, and then bowed down to the sick, and I remembered that the grace of the father and son forgave him his sin."
In front of the queen mother, the concubines, and the kings and ministers, I also adhered to the oath, thinking that he should change his past wrongs, and be vigilant day and night.
During the trip to Tianjin, he allowed to go against the grain, ignoring my life and death, but openly led his troops to hold the ministers and relatives hostage, which almost caused a catastrophe. I have endured it for a long time, because I hope that he has the words to change, and now I look at his actions, I am mad and even outrageous, and I am definitely not the one who can change.
I'm in my sixties this year, what day after tomorrow is there? In addition, the world is the industry created by the ancestors of Taizu Taizong, and it has been passed down to me for more than 50 years. How can such a crazy and easily become sick and unpopular person be entrusted to him? Therefore, I am determined to depose and confine Yun Zhixing, and I hereby give a special message! ”
The prince is completely finished this time, although it is expected, a group of royal family relatives and noble ministers are still excited after listening to it, and they don't worry about the prince's salted fish turning over, the eighth, ninth, and tenth are also relieved, this prince who has been fighting with them for three years is finally completely finished this time.
Yinzhen listened to the abolition of imprisonment, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, after all, it was still the end of imprisonment, it seems that it took a lot of effort to negotiate with Kangxi, one, losing one's reputation to others, and two, being imprisoned for ten years, is almost a waste. For the crown prince, he doesn't have much hatred, instead of banning and wasting food, it is better to throw it to Australia and America to exert residual heat, even if it is thrown to Europe to cause harm, it is better than being banned.
