The three-day large-scale rectification of public security in the capital ended as scheduled, and to the surprise of the officials of the Beijing Division, the Fourteenth Master did not stop there, and then began to rectify the soldiers, officials, and arresters of the infantry commander Yamen, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and the Shuntian Mansion, and in just two days, they killed 16 small officials, soldiers, and officials at the entrance of the vegetable market, and more than 200 people were taken to prison.

Such a vigorous and resolute punishment is not only the soldiers and officials in charge of public security, but even the tens of thousands of soldiers stationed in the Eight Banners in Beijing are silent, most of the unlucky people who were killed and imprisoned this time are the children of the Eight Banners, will the Fourteenth Master be addicted? Then please rectify the ban on the Eight Banners in Beijing?

After this rectification, the princes and ministers of the Beijing Division, large and small officials know a little more about the fourteenth elder brother, this God of Wealth of the Qing Dynasty not only makes money without ambiguity, but also kills people without ambiguity, no wonder he can train a strong army at sea in just a few years, this is really a famous warrior.

Although sporadic arrest operations are still ongoing, but the impact on the capital has been very small, after this rectification, the order of the entire capital has greatly improved, it can be said that the yellow belt and red belt that used to wander around the street with evil slaves and servants are now gone, most of them are locked in the empty house of the Zongren Mansion, and the scoundrels and cheaters who can be seen everywhere on weekdays are also extinct, and the soldiers and servants patrolling the streets no longer dare to easily eat and take cards.

On the twenty-second day of the lunar month, the day before the new year, the imperial court officially 'sealed' the annual leave. However, the officials of the Shuntian Mansion, the Imperial History of the Patrol City, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and the Infantry Army Commander Yamen are not on vacation this year. A group of people were busy with the interrogation and screening matters after the public security rectification, Yinzhen didn't ask much about this, the blood stains at the entrance of the vegetable market were not dry, and I believe that the officials would not get along with their heads for a few small money.

Although they were busy and hard, the officials did not complain much, and the fourteenth master was sympathetic. 10,000 taels of silver was specially allocated as a subsidy for their overtime, which is much higher than their monthly salary, who will have complaints? On the contrary, they are all smiling, but they are busy.

The Prince's Palace, Yin'an Palace.

The thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang sat on the wine table with a gloomy expression. Holding the wine glass and sipping slowly, but ignoring the dishes on the table, Kangxi has already decided on the candidate for the leading general to send troops to Europe, which is Shi Shibiu, the commander of the Fujian Navy, and the Fujian Navy's division is completely merged into the navy, and there is no longer another Fujian Navy's commander.

Seeing Yinxiang's lost look, Yinzhen couldn't help but laugh. He also dried the wine in one gulp, put down the wine glass and said: "Thirteenth brother, to be honest, the expedition to Europe, I don't know the bottom in my heart, half a year of the voyage, even if there are Spaniards to lead the voyage, the risk is too great, why do you bother?" ”

"I can't go to Europe this time, I'm afraid I won't have a chance again." Yinxiang sighed lightly.

That's true. Yinzhen was secretly worried, but said in his mouth: "Once the fourth brother has gained a foothold in Europe, are you still worried that there will be no chance?" You bring a message to the fourth brother, ask him to come over, and call Mr. Wu as well, I have a lot of things to explain during the trip to Europe. ”

See and get down to business. Yinxiang hurriedly bowed and said, "Okay, I'll go later." ”

Yinzhen nodded and said, "Fourth brother, don't worry, the expedition to Europe is a century-old strategy of the Qing Dynasty." 14. Is he a man who abolish state affairs for his own sake? No matter who leads the army in the navy, I will specially instruct and fully cooperate with the fourth brother! I am not a person who is jealous of the narrow-minded man, and if the fourth brother can successfully complete the task of the trip to Europe, the past will be written off, and I will wait for him as I do with the starling. ”

Yinxiang listened slightly, and asked in surprise: "Fourteenth brother put it down?" ”

"What's not to put down?" Yinzhen nodded and said: "Before, I said that fighting for the crown is to do everything, there is nothing to resent, not to mention that we are compatriots of the same mother." "...," I trust my fourteenth brother. Yinxiang nodded heavily, said, and hurriedly got up and poured a glass of wine for Yinzhen.

Yinzhen took a sip of the cup and dried it, took a long breath of wine, and then said: "As soon as Shi Shibiao leaves, you are responsible for the merger of the Fujian Navy Division, you are responsible for arresting it first, the naval forces are exhausted, and Nanyang and Australia are going to migrate on a large scale, and this burden is all on the Fujian Navy Division." ”

As soon as he heard this, Yinxiang couldn't help but be happy in his heart, this is really a lost corner, and he finally has something to do, he hurriedly said: "Fourteenth brother, rest assured, Thirteen will do his best to ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”

Yinzhen nodded, and then said: "Fourth brother, let's go again the day after tomorrow, tomorrow will be the new year, let's call a group of brothers to visit the eldest brother and second brother today." ”

*

Forbidden City, in the Xihua Gate, the north of the Shoukang Palace, the south of the Yinghua Palace, there is a palace, this is the Xian'an Palace, the Xian'an Palace is divided into three courtyards before and after, there are cross-courtyards in the east and west, there are extension buildings on both sides of the main hall, there is a verandah behind the palace, and the waste prince Yinren is imprisoned here.

The main hall of Xian'an Palace is a large hall with five rooms wide and three rooms deep, Yinren moved in and lived here, the life of seclusion is not hard, a supply should be provided, Kangxi did not cut, it is still supplied according to the prince's share, his concubines and concubines, the palace people and eunuchs of Yuqing Palace, also accompanied him to move in.

Yinren is now exercising, reading, and making people every day, three points and one line, simple and regular, for the promise of the old fourteen, he has always been obsessed, he believes that the old fourteen will not break his word to him, although it is a seclusion, but there are still eunuchs to communicate, private information is not daring, but the actions of the capital, the movements of the court, he is still basically clear, and because of this, he has more and more confidence in the old fourteen.

When Yinzhen and the eight old, the ninth, the tenth, the thirteenth, the fifteenth and other brothers came to visit, Yinren was reading in the study, after hearing the news, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, threw down the book and hurried out.

When he arrived in the front yard, he saw a group of brothers coming with the old fourteen like stars and moons, Yinren slowed down his pace reservedly, but Yinzhen greeted him without delay, and was very affectionate to hold hands with him.

Yinren has always been the prince, the identity of the prince, all the brothers originally saw him as a courtesy of the monarch and ministers, and the hand-holding between the brothers was quite jerky, but he quickly adapted to it, enthusiastically greeted the brothers, and then let everyone into the main hall, after taking a seat, Yinzhen said with a smile: "Look at the second brother's complexion, I and other brothers will rest assured." ”

"Brother Xie is worried." Yinren smiled slightly: "The second brother is convinced, and he doesn't complain about the Jews, so his mentality is naturally very peaceful." ”

"I can afford it, I can put it down, the second brother deserves to be a big husband." Yinzhen smiled and flattered.

Yinren glanced at the brothers, and admired Yinzhen's methods, when he was the prince, he only had a few brothers such as the third, fourth, and thirteenth to help, but the fourteenth had attracted so many brothers to him in just a few years, and even the eighth sworn enemy had fallen over, which showed its strength.

However, he was more concerned about when he would have the opportunity to go to Australia, and after a little groaning, he smiled and said: "The fourteenth brother has a lot of errands and is running around, why does he look fat?" ”

Am I fat? Yinzhen's mind turned, and he couldn't help laughing secretly, the second brother was secretly blaming himself for breaking his promise and getting fat, reminding him that he had forgotten to promise him to go to Australia, and glanced at a few people from the Internal Affairs Office who were standing on the side, and felt that he had nothing to worry about, and after a deep sigh, he said directly: "Settle the promise outside the door, I am afraid that I am really going to break my promise, and the second brother must also know that in the land of Nanyang and Australia, Huang Ama has already decided to establish a province." occupied Australia and expeditioned to Europe, the fourteenth recommended the second brother in front of the emperor, and the thirteenth brother was also present at that time. ..., Yinxiang nodded hurriedly and said, "That's true." ”

"Among the brothers, the second brother is both civil and military, and the fourteenth really doesn't want the second brother to learn in his life, so he will be buried." Yinzhen took over and said: "The division of the Americas is the key, the fourteenth dare not implore the emperor to divide you into the Americas, that may be too small, but the fourteenth is unwilling to break the trust of the second brother, I don't know if the second brother is interested in the expedition to Persia and the big food?" ”

Persia and Dashi had business and trade with China as early as the Tang Dynasty, and Persian and Arab merchants were also common in coastal cities, and everyone had heard of it. I've never heard him mention it, why did this idea suddenly come to mind, and I really remembered that one came out of the other, where did so many army expeditions come from in the Qing Dynasty? These two countries are not small.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him in surprise, Yinzhen couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm only interested in the coastal area of the Persian Gulf, and if these two countries cede this place, it can be regarded as achieving the goal." ”

Lao Jiuyinyu was interested and asked curiously: "Is the fourteenth brother wanting to divide the prosperous coastal land and trade with them?" ”

I was for the oil of the Persian Gulf, but he didn't dare to say this, so he had to nod his head and say: "Not only for commerce, but also for the geographical location of that area, although this matter is not urgent, it should not be delayed any longer, but now that the troops cannot be transferred, I plan to occupy a foothold there with a small fleet, and after a few years, the troops are sufficient, and then a large-scale invasion." ”

Yinren just wants to get out of this cage now, no matter where he is, he is stronger than Jingshi, and immediately said: "No matter where it is, the second brother is willing to be the vanguard of the fourteenth brother." ”

"Since the second brother is willing to go, he must take care of his body more and study the art of war more." Yinzhen nodded and said, "This matter can't be rushed, you have to give me some time to prepare." ”

Have to wait? Old Fourteen wasn't Shi a delaying tactic, right? Yinren looked at Yinzhen with blank eyes.

Yinzhen said in a deep voice: "Second brother, don't worry, in the Persian Gulf, I have to take it, you are ready." ”

Although the pigeon was released once, the old fourteen was the last straw, and Yinren had to nod and say: "I can trust the fourteenth brother." ”
