Chapter 332 Kangxi's thoughts

Handing the secret report to Li Dequan, Kangxi began to pace slowly with his hands behind his back, the old fourteenth is mainly Yangmou, likes to be upright and upright, this point, he appreciates this very much, but this overseas separation, the matter is big, but the old fourteen openly threw it out without warning, in order to obtain the support of the royal family and noble ministers, it can be described as bold, is he an expedient measure? Or is it a long-term perspective?

The harm of the feudalism, Kangxi can be said to have suffered deeply, a rebellion of the three feudatories, affecting more than ten provinces, lasted for eight years, almost ruined the world of the Qing Dynasty, unexpectedly, only after 30 years, the old fourteen actually openly proposed an overseas feudal, don't think about it, he also knows how attractive overseas feudalism is to the royal family and noble ministers.

Although the Qing Dynasty is a knight, but learned from the experience of previous dynasties, all titles are not given fiefs, in fact, the princes of the capital are empty cylinder princes, and the princes of the former Ming Dynasty are not comparable at all, even if the fief is overseas, the vast majority of the royal family, noble ministers will also flock to it.

How far can the Navy really fight? And like a warship in the West, he went on an expedition of 40,000 miles? Then it's not a separation, it's exile! Old Fourteen, this is to paint cakes for them to satisfy their hunger! is only the land of the South Seas, and how many clansmen can be divided?

However, the sale of land on Greater Luzon Island at a low price is really a good move, and Taiwan's development is still far from enough, and if Luzon Island is developed normally, the imperial court may not be able to benefit from it for ten years. Moreover, the hot sale of Luzon Island can also promote the development of Taiwan, which is a double win for the imperial court.

Kangxi strolled while combing his thoughts, there are still Dutch and British forces in the South Seas, both of which are maritime powers in the West, and in a short period of time, the navy is afraid that it will be difficult to completely occupy the islands in the South Seas, and I don't know how big the conflict between the South Ocean Fleet and the Netherlands and Britain is? Will it cause a war? The declaration of war on Spain had only begun, and if the Netherlands and Britain were provoked, there would be too many enemies, and even if the ships were strong and the guns were sharp, it would be difficult to parry, and this matter should be admonished.

Overseas feudalization is related to the vital interests of all royal clansmen and noble ministers, and cannot be explicitly refused, otherwise the hearts of the people are all towards the old fourteen, only to be guided, tens of thousands of miles away from the territory overseas, presumably few people will want it, as for the two islands in the South Ocean mentioned by the old fourteen, it is impossible to object, you might as well simply push it to the old fourteen, but a province, more monks and less porridge, see how he copes with it?

For the old fourteenth to integrate the eight parties, trying to dominate one party, but only need to give the old eight a little sweetness xiwang, it is enough to divide and disintegrate, however, the old fourteen and the eight are not clear, after all, they can't be completely assured, and they have to support another one out, the third is to do learning, has been silent, and the old four, who has only recently revealed the hideous, may be a good candidate, the three parties are strong, and the situation is much easier to control.

The most important thing is that the system of this dynasty is different from that of previous dynasties, and the establishment of the prince is really doing more harm than good, and this system has to find a way to solve it in their own hands and form a rule, otherwise, every generation will compete for the throne like this, and the Qing Dynasty will be greatly injured, and it will be a big disaster when the situation comes.

Navy, it is indeed time to build an army, after the establishment of the army, you can justifiably take back the control of the navy, back then, a moment of negligence, allowed the navy to take shape before returning to the imperial court, but unexpectedly, the old fourteen was bold, with chicken feathers as an arrow, but with more than 20 small warships, and captured the Spanish fleet, and fought the South Seas, and now there is an overseas division, you have to set up the Admiralty as soon as possible, put the old fourteen in the air, see how he jumps?

xiangdao here, Kangxi stopped, overhead the old fourteen? The Nanyang Fleet is now led by two Han soldiers, not only did not return in the South Seas, but also fought with the Netherlands and Britain. ..., the more Kangxi thinks about it, the more reasonable he feels, only in this way can he explain why the old fourteen sent two Han soldiers to lead the fleet to the South Seas, this Liu Zhisheng and Lin Wei must be the old fourteen's sworn friends, and they have no worries, absolutely loyal, if this is the case, this war with the Netherlands and Britain, I am afraid that the old fourteen deliberately ordered, and at the same time erect the enemy of the three major maritime powers in the Western Ocean, can this navy leave the old fourteen?

Good means! Even the self-respect of raising thieves has been used, if it is not defeated by the Three Kingdoms of the West, the old fourteen will be the sinners of the Qing Dynasty! Kangxi took another step, but, judging from the consistent style of the old fourteen, it doesn't seem like a person who puts the country, the court and the danger for his own selfishness, it seems that he is quite sure that the relationship between the Western countries must be pondered.

Since the old fourteenth can't be deprived of control of the navy, this matter is a little tricky, the old fourteenth is now a big tail, the integration of the old eighty-one party, the release of overseas divisions, are all in preparation for the establishment of the prince, but he does not want to establish the prince, how to solve this contradiction?

If the external invasion of the West is really solved, to what extent will the navy swell? At that time, how will the old fourteen be suppressed? Even if you don't want to make a prince, you will have to do it!

Xiangdao here, Kangxi couldn't help but be depressed for a while, but Li Dequan came forward at this time and said: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, and the emperor has walked a long way unconsciously, but do you want to call the royal court?" ”

Kangxi realized that the sky was dark, and he couldn't help nodding slightly.

The news that Kangxi had arrived in Tongzhou soon spread throughout the capital, the Son of Heaven returned to Beijing, and hundreds of officials were routinely greeted in the suburbs, Yinzhen was not the prince of Xu'er, and he didn't need to bother with these things, but the news of the overseas division spread out, and he was very bottomless in his heart.

After careful consideration, he found that overseas feudalism can not only win the hearts of the people, but also serve as a model for overseas expansion, allowing those princes to expand their territory for the Qing Dynasty, which is countless times faster than the navy.

After thinking about it for a while, Yinzhen ordered to prepare the horse, and when Da Chun heard this, he immediately stepped forward and asked: "Please also ask the master to show me, where are you going?" ”

"Tongzhou!" Yinzhen said simply: "There are not many guards, twenty horses are enough." ”

This will go to Tongzhou sooner or later? Da Chun couldn't help but hesitate and said: "Back to the master, Tongzhou is forty miles away from the capital, at this hour, it is a person and two horses, and the fast horse rushes to Tongzhou, and it will be dark." ”

"Then one person and two riders." Yinzhen said in a deep voice: "Tell them to prepare torches." ”

When the fifth elder brother and the ninth elder brother came to invite Yinzhen to discuss the driving matter, Yinzhen had already taken the people out of Fuchengmen, and heard that the old fourteen yijing hurried to Tongzhou, and the old nine couldn't help but smile slightly, the matter of overseas separation, now everyone in the capital knows, the old fourteen will cut first and then play, I don't know how Kangxi will attack him?

It was already dark, and Yinzhen and his entourage rushed to Tongzhou to find out about Kangxi's Xihaizi stationed in His Majesty's North City, and immediately rushed over to hand over the sign to ask for a meeting.

Kangxi had just come from outside, and after washing, he was about to review the folds, when he heard that the fourteenth elder brother Yinzhen was asking to see him outside, he couldn't help but sigh slightly, and then asked, "How many people did he bring?" ”

"Only twenty horsemen." Li Dequan immediately bowed back and said, but he was beating a drum in his heart, what does Kangxi mean?

"Let him in." Kangxi said expressionlessly: "Add a few more lights." ”

Yinzhen came quickly, and after entering the house to ask for a salute, he knelt honestly, Kangxi glanced at him and said, "Give a seat, enjoy tea." ”

"Xie Huang Ama." Yinzhen's heart was relieved, it seemed that Kangxi was not very angry.

Li Dequan found out that the situation was not what he imagined, and quietly slipped out with tea, waiting carefully outside, but he was puzzled in his heart, although the fourteenth master smashed the Tianjin military exercise and sacrificed prisoners, but he had a meritorious role in saving the driver and calming the chaos, how could Kangxi faintly suspect that the fourteenth master had the taste of rebellion? It's really unpredictable! ..., in the house, when Yinzhen sat down, Kangxi asked, "How did you persuade the prince to surrender with 7,000 men?" ”

Yinzhen didn't expect Kangxi to ask about this as soon as he opened his mouth, and after a little silence, he said: "Back to the emperor Amma, the prince promised the prince to lead troops to Australia to expand the territory." ”

"Australia?" Kangxi had never heard of this place name, and couldn't help but look at Yinzhen inquiringly.

"Back to the Emperor Ama." Yinzhen gritted his teeth and said: "I found a place near Yijing in the South Seas, although it is not sure how big it is, but it will definitely not be an island. ”

Newland! Kangxi's heart jumped, and he really discovered the new world! He asked eagerly, "How far is it from the South Seas?" ”

"It's not far, it's only six days away from Karopa." Yinzhen replied cautiously.

Kangxi pondered for a moment before he said tentatively: "It will take about ten days from Guangzhou to Karopa, right?" ”

"Ten days is enough to reach the Karopa." Yinzhen said affirmatively.

In this way, it is a one-month boat ride from Tianjin to Australia! It's not far, it will take a few months to travel to the northwest, Kangxi immediately became interested, and asked with a smile: "Do you know the specific situation on the land, the climate of the land, etc." ”

"The situation on land is not clear at the moment, but the continent is located in the center of the ocean, and it is close to the South Sea, so it will not be bad." Yinzhen vaguely remembered that Australia has large pastures, deserts, and even more eye-catching gold mines, but at this time, he didn't dare to say it, Kangxi heard that there was a desert, and he was afraid that he would immediately lose interest.

Kangxi bowed slightly, the climate in the South China Sea is suitable and the rain is sufficient, this Australia is not far from the South China Sea, it really shouldn't be bad, but I don't know how big this continent will be? After thinking about it, he asked, "Did you find Australians?" ”

Yinzhen knew that he was asking if there was a country, so he calmly replied: "Back to Huang Ama, I found that Australians, like the natives of Nanyang, are still in an uncivilized state. ”
