Kangxi's return to Beijing not only put Zhenwu at ease, but also gave a group of royal family relatives, princes and nobles, and ministers of civil and military affairs a backbone, many people were secretly relieved in their hearts, but soon became worried, the reason why Kangxi was able to rush back to Beijing so quickly was obviously that Zhenwu sent a letter to ask Kangxi to rush back to Beijing after he was infected with the epidemic.

Originally, Zhenwu did not summon a group of ministers in the past two days, which gave them a glimmer of hope, but now it seems that Zhenwu has already begun to arrange the aftermath, which makes them feel frightened.

The eighth, ninth, tenth, thirteenth, sixteenth and other brothers have long thought of this layer, and they are all silent, if Zhenwu really has an accident, what will be the situation? It must be a new monarch, but Zhenwu's eldest son Hongchun is only twelve years old now, and the result must be that Kangxi is in charge of the country.

What will be the result of Kangxi's imprisonment? Yinxi's face is full of bitterness, the new monarch is young, Kangxi is old, with Kangxi's style, he will definitely spare no effort to suppress the eight parties, and even completely eradicate them, uproot the eight parties, and remove obstacles for the new monarch's pro-government, Kangxi is not as generous as Zhenwu, what awaits him may be the end of the captivity, and the ninth and tenth will also be implicated.

The old thirteen Yinxiang is also full of worries, the Qing Royal Navy is scattered all over Europe, America, Africa, and the South Seas, and most of the soldiers are Han Chinese. Can Kangxi control the navy? Will the expansion of the Navy's Praetorian Guard be affected? Will expeditions in Europe and Africa be affected?

A group of ministers in the study are even more troubled, although the Qing Dynasty now says that the treasury is abundant, but Zhenwu continues to expand the army, not to mention, but also greatly increased the officials' salaries and military salaries, the implementation of the silver dollar and cut off the collection of fire consumption, Kangxi can not Zhenwu will make money, and has always been heavy on agriculture and light business, if Zhenwu dies, the Qing Dynasty businessmen will inevitably be panicked, and the Qing Dynasty will soon fall into a situation where they cannot make ends meet.

A group of royal clansmen. The princes and nobles of the Eight Banners are also worried. If Kangxi supervises the country, will the overseas division be affected? At least there is no need to count on the partition of the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi will never adjust and change the relationship between the clans and vassals of the Qing Dynasty, and furthermore, will Kangxi spare no effort to support overseas feudal states like Zhenwu?

The new monarch is young and Kangxi is old, and Kangxi will not only not support them in developing overseas feudal states. It is very likely that they will also vigorously restrict the development of overseas feudal states, so as to avoid a situation where the branches are strong and weak, or the tail is too big to fall, and may even carry out a new round of suppression and weakening of the princes and nobles of the Eight Banners.

Although a number of officials, large and small, were dissatisfied with the implementation of Zhenwu's new policy and the issuance of silver dollars, if Zhenwu died. Can all of this change and go back to the way it was? It's simply impossible! Kangxi himself supports the spread of the mu, and the silver dollar is now in circulation all over the world, and he can't get it back if he wants to.

Since it is impossible to go back to the past, they prefer Zhenwu to be safe and sound compared to setting up a new monarch and Kangxi to supervise the country, after all, Zhenwu is not useless. He still cares about the decency of officials. Sympathetic to the situation of the officials, which increases the income of the officials from him. It can be seen from the above things such as enclosing land for officials overseas for welfare.

Although the increase in the idea of income and welfare cannot be compared with the previous filial piety, but from the perspective of the high salary and pension implemented by Zhenwu in the customs, their income and benefits are very likely to be greatly increased in the hands of Zhenwu, and on the other hand, Zhenwu attaches great importance to commerce and overseas trade, and his ambition for expansion is far greater than that of Kangxi, and these officials also benefit a lot.

Just when everyone had their own thoughts, silently calculated and weighed, news came out in Changchun Garden that a eunuch who was suffering from the epidemic survived five days without dying, and as soon as the news spread, the solemn atmosphere in the square was immediately relieved, and some people were able to survive the five days, and Zhenwu's hope was also greater.

Just when everyone was secretly rejoicing, a few eunuchs came out of Changchun Garden, and said loudly: "The emperor has a decree, Prince Lian Yinxi, Prince Dun Yinqi, Prince Jian Yaerjianga, Prince Yu Baotai, Prince Xian Yanhuang, Yijun Wang Yinxiang, Rao County Wang Yinyu, Qingbeile Yinyu, and the ministers of the study entered the palace to meet him. ”

Listening to this will, everyone's mood that had just been relaxed immediately tensed up again, Zhenwu is starting to explain what happened after his death? Has the condition worsened?

Yinxi and Yinxiang's hearts were tight, as soon as Kangxi came back, Zhenwu couldn't wait to summon everyone, could it be that the oil was really dry? The faces of the two of them turned pale, and they hurriedly went out of the queue and followed everyone into Changchun Garden.

Entering the front hall of the Ning residence, everyone found that Kangxi was sitting next to Zhenwu, and their hearts were suddenly even more nervous. Then he kowtowed and said, "The ministers and others respectfully invite the emperor to be sainte." Then the group got up and knelt down under Zhenwu's bed.

The people who listened to it asked for peace, and Zhenwu asked Bao Fuquan to help himself up, and then he was half-lying, and after looking at everyone, he said softly: "Sensei kneel, sit down." ”

Hearing this sentence, everyone's hearts couldn't help but relax slightly, this is not like explaining the future, but today's situation is obviously different from the past, no one is willing to take a seat, Yin Yu hurriedly took the lead and said: "Wait for the emperor's grace." But he refused to get up.

Seeing this situation, Zhenwu didn't say much, paused slightly, and then said softly: "This evil illness came suddenly, although I am confident that I can recover, but I can't help but just in case, I have a few thoughts about the future direction of the Qing Dynasty.

The Qing Dynasty established the country with force, with less to control more, to have today's situation, it is not easy, as the so-called world is peaceful, forgetting the war will be dangerous, the Qing Dynasty to control more with less, more need to remember, now firearms have replaced cavalry, the Navy Janissary New Army Eight Banners Green Battalion must all replace firearms, not only that, the improvement of firearms must be at any cost, only in this way, the Qing Dynasty can always be invincible.

The Qing Dynasty is currently facing a major war in the northwest, and it is estimated that within two or three years, if Dzungaria does not rebel, it will take the initiative to attack, and the northwest cannot leave a disaster! I mobilized the new Praetorian Guard army to be stationed in Xi'an, expanded the army in Xi'an, and did not use the treasury silver, all in order to completely pacify the northwest and take precautions.

The commander of the expedition to the northwest, let Yue Zhongqi serve, although this person is young, but he is well versed in the art of war, and his courage is outstanding, he is the commander of the northwest who I have tacitly determined, the battle of the northwest is too expensive and food-consuming, this battle must be done once and for all, and there will be no future troubles!

After the war, with the power of a great victory, all the northwest regions were set up as provinces, local officials were dispatched, and troops were dispatched to completely eliminate the troubles. ”

Xi'an is an army of tens of thousands, handed over to Yue Zhongqi, a little-known young general? Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, even Kangxi was surprised, Yue Zhongqi had no experience in leading an army, and his prestige and qualifications were not enough to serve the public, how could he lead tens of thousands of troops?

However, thinking that tens of thousands of troops are all Janissary New Army, thinking that the admirals are also all young people, and even fighting victories, he is also silent.

Zhenwu didn't pay attention to everyone's thoughts, he was extremely optimistic about Yue Zhongqi, with the combat power of the Praetorian New Army, the Northwest War, there was no need to invest too many troops, and it was suitable for a quick battle, Yue Zhongqi's combat style could be said to be the most suitable to give full play to the power of the Praetorian New Army.

After a slight pause, he continued: "Although the country is large, the belligerent will die, the overseas conquest, should be mainly plundered, the scale of the army should not be too large, can be divided into troops year by year, not only can be used to train the army, but also does not increase the burden of the court, the Mughal, Arabia, Ottoman Empire is insignificant, can be rear, after the full occupation of Southeast Asia, that is, the Nanyang domains, there is sufficient food and salary, and then slowly plot, they must completely follow the move of the Eastern Expedition to the Japanese, so that they cede land and pay to open the port.

At present, in addition to the northwest, the most important thing is to conquer Southeast Asia, Southeast Asia is a land of abundant grain production, grain output is far greater than that of Jiangnan and Huguang, it is a rare granary, must be permanently included in the territory of the Qing Dynasty, in order to avoid a two-front war, after the end of the war in the northwest.

If you want to permanently incorporate Southeast Asia into the territory of the Qing Dynasty, it is not enough to assimilate the local natives of Sinicization, you must let the number of Qing immigrants occupy an absolute advantage, so as to prevent future troubles, whether it is to instigate the Mughals to invade Southeast Asia, or to provoke them to fight, or to imitate the South Seas, you must do whatever it takes to conquer Southeast Asia with Yinxiang as the main one, Nian Qianyao as the secondary, and the troops are mainly Karopa and Guangzhou.

Then there is South Africa, South Africa, with Fuhan as the commander, from Karopa and Xi'an to send the new Janissaries to South Africa, the conquest of South Africa should not be delayed, but first from Karopa, so that Fuhan can advance inland, pay attention to the mineral deposits in the occupied land.

For Europe, do not get involved too deeply, Europe is not wide, there are many small countries, there are endless people with ambitions to dominate Europe, the Qing Dynasty only needs to do its best to sow discord, but Europe is good at physics, chemistry and machinery, the Qing Dynasty must learn from it with an open mind.

The issue of the military system, we must insist on conscripting soldiers from the people, this is also an opportunity for the people to change their identity and advance to the official career, this move is not only to envelop the people, but also to strengthen the cohesion of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty has entered the customs for more than 70 years, it is no longer the Qing Dynasty of the Eight Banners, the people have regarded the Qing Dynasty as orthodox, the Qing Dynasty must have the mind to tolerate the world, and it is necessary to increase the pace of integrating various ethnic groups. ”

Speaking of this in one breath, Zhenwu felt very weak, and couldn't help but stop, Yinxi, Yinxiang and others all lowered their heads and silently wrote down Zhenwu's instructions in their hearts, all of them were nervous and sad, Zhenwu's words were tantamount to leaving a will, although he arranged it in an orderly manner, but who knows how many can be fully implemented.

Not to mention anything else, it is unrealistic to just command the army of Yinxiang, the lord Shaoguo suspects, Kangxi will never let Yinxiang command the army outside, the navy and the new army of the Praetorian Guard are the two main forces. (To be continued.) )
