Hearing that Kangxi questioned the division with a population bottleneck, Yinzhen calmly replied: "Huang Ama, the abolition of the per capita tax and the promotion of high-yield crops will greatly promote population growth. The population base of the Qing Dynasty is about 100 million, if the imperial court encourages childbirth, it can be doubled in a few years, at present, what needs to be done overseas is to plant flags, erect monuments, and divide seals to declare sovereignty, and after the population catches up, it will slowly develop. ”

Kangxi listened to it and bowed his head slightly, this is also reasonable, if the imperial court encourages childbearing, within ten years, the population can be doubled, and there are 100 million people scattered on all continents of the feudal state, which is enough to make the feudal states achieve rapid development, but what is the benefit of the feudal state that has mastered the political, financial, military, and personnel power to the Qing Dynasty? Will the powerful feudal state endanger the Qing Dynasty? Have you considered these questions?

Glancing at Yinzhen, who had a calm expression, Kangxi said slowly: "Although the feudal princes must obey the orders of the Son of Heaven, and have the obligation to guard the territory, follow the battle, pay tribute and report on the pilgrimage, but the feudal countries scattered on all continents are thousands of miles away from the Qing Dynasty, and the imperial court is not able to control them at all, and these obligations are also useless, what is the benefit to the Qing Dynasty?" Spending a lot of energy to support the feudal kingdom won't be just for that little tribute, right? Quite a few words"

"Hui Huang Ama, the feudal kingdoms of all continents, first of all, is nominally the land of the Qing Dynasty, which is the name of righteousness." Yinzhen slowly explained: "Secondly, the locations of each feudal state are all uncivilized lands, and while the feudal states are developing, they must assimilate the local natives, which lays a solid foundation for the future rule of the imperial court.

Third, the existence of each feudal state can also be used as a springboard or bridgehead for the imperial court to enter various continents in the future. Fourth, if it can be divided, it can naturally be withdrawn twenty or thirty years later, the imperial court will issue an edict that no hereditary fiefs are allowed, and all the feudal countries can be returned to the imperial court.

Finally, as the so-called leaders have been leading the way for decades, the emerging maritime powers will inevitably start a new wave of re-partitioning overseas territories, which is also an excellent opportunity to reclaim the feudal state. ”

Kangxi secretly admired when he heard it, this old fourteenth began to calculate how to withdraw the seal before it was sealed, but he still asked: "If the feudal states have a tail like the three feudatories, how to deal with it?" On the other hand, the clans are all divided overseas, and they are not worried about shaking the foundation of the Qing Dynasty? ”

"Huang Ama, the feudal states are limited by population, and their development speed is not as fast as that of the Qing Dynasty, if there is really an immortal talent among the princes, and there are also places for them to show their strength on all continents, how can they bear the infamy and risk a huge risk to turn against the Qing Dynasty?" Yinzhen said indifferently: "Dividing the seal, it is not necessary to seal all the clans, the noble ministers can be sealed, and the Han and Mongolian Hui Tibet can also be sealed, everything is based on the premise of not shaking the fundamental." ”

Hearing this, Kangxi didn't ask questions, but he felt that his mouth was dry, and he stretched out his hand to ask for tea, only to find that the tea had already been cold. ”

As soon as Li Dequan heard it, he knew that the rain had passed and the sky was clear, so he hurriedly responded, trotted into the house to wait, and removed the teacup, only to find that the cup was empty, and glanced at Kangxi timidly, but saw that he looked distracted, tiptoed into a cup of tea, and hurriedly slipped away.

Kangxi is still self-conscious, overseas separation, he originally thought that the old fourteen won over the royal family, noble ministers, and gathered people's hearts for the crown prince, but he didn't expect that there was such a big article hidden behind this, it was actually the old fourteen to dominate several continents, and this method is extremely feasible. Just this courage and vision have compared all the princes, and it is not on the same level at all.

That being the case, this overseas division must be supported, once successful, the Qing Dynasty is not only the overlord of the world, but also the Qing Empire, which is the master of the world across several continents, was founded in his own hands, just thinking about it, Kangxi was a little dizzy, this is a hegemony that he didn't dare to imagine before, what is Genghis Khan? What is the Mengyuan Empire? It can't be compared with the Qing Empire at all...,

After a long while, Kangxi came back to his senses and began to think about it down-to-earth, even if he wants to divide overseas, he must first take Australia, and if he wants to take Australia, he must first go to the South Seas, although he has conquered Manila, but he still has to conquer Karopa, and the Dutch of Karopa, like the Spaniards, will be easily defeated?

Besides, the old fourteen also said just now that attacking the overseas territories claimed by other countries will provoke wars between countries, and if you capture Karopa, aren't you afraid that the Netherlands will declare war on the Qing Dynasty? Declaring war on Spain and the Netherlands at the same time, can the navy cope with it? In addition, will Britain take advantage of the fire and rob and also declare war on the Qing Dynasty?

Thinking of this, Kangxi couldn't help frowning slightly, glanced at Yinzhen, but didn't ask immediately, but slowly took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "What is your plan for seizing Nanyang?" Have you ever considered the possibility of the Netherlands, Britain, and Spain going to war with the Qing Dynasty at the same time? ”

Seeing that Kangxi kept his mouth shut and didn't mention overseas separation, but the topic changed and asked about the seizure of Nanyang, Yinzhen couldn't help but be surprised, didn't Kangxi approve of overseas separation? Or did you see through the attempts of the South Sea Fleet? After quickly sorting out his thoughts, he calmly replied: "It is imperative to return to Emperor Ama and seize the South Seas, even if it is to start a war with Britain and the Netherlands for this purpose.

Liu Zhisheng, the commander of the South China Sea Fleet, did not elaborate on the specific situation of the war with the Netherlands and Britain in his good news, and it was not expected to be a big war, but it was a matter of time before he could capture the Karopa, control the entire South Seas, and start a war with the Netherlands.

Britain is an emerging maritime power, more than ten years ago in the Mughal Empire established a country within a country to plunder, the spice trade in the South Seas also interfered, these two years is trying to enter the South Seas, according to the Spaniards, Britain has decided to occupy Borneo, we are at war with Spain, the Netherlands, Britain is very likely to take advantage of the fire to rob, the power to extend into the South Seas.

Judging from this, the seizure of the South China Sea is very likely to start a war with Spain, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, the three Atlantic maritime powers, at the same time, however, the relations between these three countries have always been tense, and they have fought against each other many times, and it is unlikely that they will join forces to fight with the navy, but this possibility cannot be ruled out.

Once he had mastered the two choke points of Karopa and Manchupa, he would build forts to keep the Western countries out of the South Seas, and a year later, even if the three kingdoms joined forces to attack, they were not afraid, and with the batteries and naval artillery they were enough to fight with the alliance of the three countries. ”

Hearing that there is a great possibility of fighting with the Three Kingdoms at the same time, Kangxi couldn't help frowning slightly, the Three Kingdoms are all Western maritime powers, if they really join forces, the size of the fleet is definitely above hundreds of ships, it is not a joke, it seems that if you want to take Australia, you have to defeat the alliance of these three countries first.

If you want to defeat the Triple Alliance, the navy will inevitably go all out, and in a year, what will be the size of the navy? At least 30,000 navy, nearly 100 warships, and the battlefield is in the South Seas, the old 14th will also go to the South Seas to take command, do not let him go to the South Seas, the South Ocean Fleet is afraid that others will not be able to command at all, in case of defeat, these years of hard work can be ruined, let the old 14 go to the South Seas, and worry that he will support his own troops, let the navy stay in the South Seas and not return, the South Ocean Fleet is already like this.

Thinking about it, Kangxi was also in a big dilemma, changing the reserve system is a big deal, taking Australia, Nanyang is a big deal, originally two things that have nothing to do with each other, because the old fourteen, but it has become a dilemma A little groaned, he asked tentatively: "Before, you had a lot of slight remarks about the reserve system, but there is a good plan?" ”

Yinzhen never thought that Kangxi would jump from the Nanyang strategy to the prince again, and he didn't know what Kangxi's intention was to be a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, but Kangxi had the idea of secretly establishing a prince, he was clear, and after a little thought, he replied cautiously: "Back to the emperor Ama, the former Ming Dynasty implemented a feudal system for the prince, adopted a feudal system instead of giving land, the lords did not come to the people, and the food was not governed, and the result was to cultivate a group of royal families who were full of food all day long and did nothing, which was originally a strategy of strong cadres and weak branches. But it caused the tragedy of weak branches. …,

In contrast, the prince system of our dynasty is much superior, the princes have studied hard since childhood, and when they become adults, they have opened their teeth to build a mansion, and they have been knighted to run errands, and they can give full play to their own strengths, sharing worries for the monarch's father, and seeking benefits for the people, so that the court, the princes, and the people are all good, but it is extremely unfair to the prince, because the prince has become the target of competition for the brothers, and everything is picky, and it is very easy for the prince to lose ground and make mistakes. ”

Speaking of this, Yinzhen raised his head and looked at Kangxi, and said, "Huang Ama, can your sons say what is in their hearts?" ”。

Kangxi was stunned when he heard this, and he had words against his ears? However, he still nodded and said: "You are the prince, and you are a prince with outstanding talents, and you are bent on competing for the prince, the pros and cons of the reserve system, you can see it very clearly, I want to reform the reserve system, and tell your true thoughts for my reference." ”

Yinzhen bowed and said: "Back to the emperor Ama, the system of cultivating princes in my dynasty is extremely superior, and there should be no changes. ”

Kangxi was shocked when he heard this, this is exactly what he thought in his heart, the old fourteen actually thought like this, it seems that the secret reserve is indeed feasible, he bowed his head slightly and said: "Go on." ”

Yinzhen said in a deep voice: "Erchen first said the shortcomings of the open prince, for the prince, at the beginning, it is natural to be stable, Taoguang and obscure, in order to succeed to the throne smoothly, and was attacked by a group of princes, and found that it could not be stable, so he would take extreme measures. Neither is adequate.

For the princes, only by overthrowing the prince can they have a chance, and naturally they will use unscrupulous means to fight the prince together, and they will not care about whether what they do is good or bad for the court and the people? What's more, maliciously violated the rules and regulations of the imperial court, corrupted the atmosphere of officialdom, deliberately attacked the good governance and good laws of the imperial court, and all took the overthrow of the prince as the criterion.

Such a struggle for the reserve is not good for the country or the people, but it is a disaster for the country and the people, which can be called bad. (To be continued.)
