A little delay? This is really beautiful for you, the old fourteen is obviously going to cut through the mess quickly, and catch you off guard, will he agree to delay the time? After a slight groan, Yin Qi said: "I came back from Shunyi today, the camp of the Praetorian New Army has been surveyed and determined, from the perspective of planning, it is a military camp that can accommodate 30,000 people, and the first batch of 3,000 new troops will be recruited soon, how can it be delayed?" ”

As soon as they heard that the initial scale of the military camp in Shunyi was so large, everyone couldn't help but secretly rejoice, this new army of the Janissaries is really taking the road of naval expansion, and the scale in the future will definitely be considerable, which adds tens of thousands of soldiers out of thin air, and the life of the banner people is much better, but the annoying thing is that the crown prince just stuffed the banner people into the workshop under the pretext of solving the problem of the livelihood of the flag people, it seems that solving the livelihood of the flag man is just a pretext for the crown prince, and using this as an excuse to weaken the strength of the five banners is the main purpose of the prince.

But even if you see through the prince's purpose, what can you do? There are so many soldiers in the Janissary New Army, who would dare to give up this number of troops under the Five Banners? What's even worse is that the security and development of the feudal kingdoms in the Americas are in the hands of the prince, who dares to blatantly offend the prince? Unless it is possible to deprive the prince of control of the navy, how likely is this?

As for uniting the five flags to fight together, they didn't even dare to think about it, Kangxi was still staring at it with a tiger's eye on it, and if there was a slight disturbance, they would inevitably be hit by Kangxi's storm, and the ending would be even worse than now.

Just when everyone was wrinkling their eyebrows and pondering, Bu Muba, the king of Shuncheng County, slowly spoke: "The banner people joining the army to work in the workshop are not only beneficial to the country and the people, but we can't ignore the current affairs. Red. The flag can't lag behind the people, I have already expressed my position in the court, and I will do my best to support it, but can the flag people who enter Tianjin send people to manage it themselves? So. It's the best of both worlds. ”

Everyone listened to a line, each banner sent people to Tianjin to manage the flag affairs, this level is low, it does not work, send the prince and the noble, Kangxi will not agree, besides, the military workshop must have its management system. The crown prince can't agree to it, can this work?

Yin Qian was also confused, I don't know how Bu Muba could make such a suggestion? Naturally, he didn't dare to accept indiscriminately, and after a slight groan, he nodded and said, "In this matter, I can only go into the palace to help you pass on a word." ”

After sending Yin Qi away, Luo Gashan asked worriedly: "Lord, can the emperor and the crown prince agree that we will send someone to Tianjin to manage the flag affairs?" ”

"If the prince doesn't even understand this way of advancing and retreating, he won't be able to keep his crown prince." Bu Muba said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, it is naturally up to the prince to deal with it. If the prince is not interested, we will send the old, weak, sick and disabled under his command to the military workshop. ”

"Sending the old, weak, sick and disabled?" Luoga Mountain. Only then did he hesitate and said, "Will the prince give up?" ”

"Hmph, what if you are not willing to give up?" Bu Muba snorted coldly and said: "How can I keep the banner people of Tianjin from being annexed, the banner owners should also have a big headache now, just let out the rumors, they will naturally draw gourds in the same way, I don't believe that those banner owners can watch their strength be annexed." ”

*

Yin Qi hurried to Yuqing Palace. Before entering the front star gate, Bao Fuquan greeted him and played a thousand children very neatly. "The slave greets the tenth master." After getting up, he bowed down again and said: "Tenth Master, the prince is receiving Prince Jian Yaerjiang'a and Prince Zhuang Bo Guoduo, if the tenth master is urgent, the slave will go to inform you, if the tenth master is not in a hurry, you are waiting in the side hall, and the fifteenth master and Long Keduo are also in the side hall." ”

As soon as he heard that Yarjianga and Bo Guoduo were inside, Yin Qi knew that the two of them must have come for the matter of the banner man joining the army workshop, and Bumuba's suggestion could not be mentioned in front of the two of them, and after a little hesitation, he smiled and said: "The matter of the master is not in a hurry, take the master to meet the old fifteen and Long Keduo." ”…,

Yinyu and Long Keduo were chatting with each other, and when they saw Yinqi coming in, they hurriedly got up to salute, and said with a smile after Yinqi returned the salute: "The third cousin is a great navy today, escorting 2.2 million taels of gold to swagger through the market, and the old ten have never seen so much gold in his life, and the eyes of the people of Beijing are dazzled." ”

Long Keduo is Kangxi's cousin, a generation higher than Yinqi, but his identity is not as noble as them, and he seems more casual when the two are leveled, and he smiled at the moment: "I'm not worried that they won't believe it, the indemnity is silver, but what was pulled back is gold, and the swagger is to gag their mouths, besides, let them open their eyes, feast their eyes, and take the opportunity to publicize that we will not lack gold in the Qing Dynasty." ”

"Hehe, I'm afraid the gold price of this Jingshi is about to fall." Yin Qi said with a smile, and said with envy: "The navy has won a great victory, there must be a reward, uncle, this official can't be added, I think it must be a reward for the title, and the war merit is knighted, you and the thirteenth brother can catch up with a good opportunity." ”

These words scratched the itch of Long Keduo, this time the day was a great victory, although he did not contribute much, but the title reward is inevitable, this is a self-earned title by virtue of military exploits, in front of the clansmen that is double face, and then follow the navy to fight a few battles, there is no problem at all to be a duke, however, seeing the envy on Yinqi's face, he is not good to show, so he smiled and comforted: "Why should the tenth master be in a hurry, your prince's title is just a matter of time, besides, the navy is still expanding, and there will be opportunities for meritorious service in the future." ”

"That's right." Yin Qi nodded slightly, looked at Yin Yu again, and said, "How can the fifteenth brother come to join in the fun today?" ”

Listening to the two of them talk about the knighthood, Yinyu is also secretly envious, he is already twenty-one years old, but he still has not been knighted, he also knows his own identity, although he is the prince, but the mother concubine is Han, and the tenth brother They can't compare, they can only be next to the prince, and do a solid errand, not to mention the prince, can be sealed to Baylor is satisfied.

Listening to Yin's question, he hurriedly replied with a smile: "It's also for the navy's conquest of Japan, tomorrow the Beijing Daily will be published, and I will bring the sample newspaper to the prince to palm." ”

"This great victory in the Japanese campaign should really be vigorously promoted, over the years, our Qing Dynasty has never fought such a happy victory." Yin Qi chuckled and said: "Seventy million indemnity, but it is equivalent to the sum of the two years of income of the imperial court. ”

"The tenth master's words are on point." Long Keduo continued: "The battles we fought in the past were getting poorer and poorer, but the navy was getting richer and richer, either expanding the territory or paying huge indemnities, and this kind of war is interesting. ”

The three of them chatted for a while. Bao Fuquan hurried over, bowed down and said, "Three masters, the crown prince is invited." ”

Hearing this, the three of them all stood up, but Yin Qi asked uneasily: "Prince Jian and Prince Zhuang have already left the palace?" ”

Bao Fuquan bowed down and said: "Back to the tenth master, he has already left Yuqing Palace." ”

Yin Qi nodded, and then stepped forward, and the three of them rushed to Yuqing Palace. After seeing the ceremony and taking a seat, Yinzhen looked at Long Keduo and asked, "The gold has already been put into storage?" ”

"Back to the crown prince, two million two hundred thousand taels of gold, a lot of money, have all been put into storage." Ronkodo hurriedly replied.

Yinzhen nodded and said, "The Navy is on the day, you have made meritorious negotiations, and the emperor has already decreed that the meritorious soldiers will be rewarded as soon as possible." These days, you just rest at home for a while. After the reward, it's time to assign a new errand. ”

Seeing Yinzhen talking about the errand, Long Keduo couldn't help but follow the words and said, "Prince, can you arrange the slaves to go to the navy?" ”

"Like the Navy? The Navy has not had any major wars in the past two years. Yinzhen couldn't help but smile slightly and said, "Do you know Russian?" "..., Russian? Long Keduo couldn't help but sigh, what does this mean by the prince? Are you ready to fight Russia? His heart jumped suddenly, and he hurriedly bowed and said, "Russian." The slaves don't understand, but there are Russian official schools run by the imperial court, and there are many Russians in the capital. Slaves can go and learn. ”

Yinzhen said with a rather appreciative jaw: "With this will, what can't you do?" Learn Russian and it will come in handy in the future. ”

The crown prince was really about to clean up Russia, and Long Keduo was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed and said: "The slave respects the prince's teachings." ”

Seeing that it was a slit in the conversation, Yin Qi was afraid that the old fourteen would ask about the Beijing News first, and he didn't know how much time it would take, so he preemptively said: "Prince, Zheng. Red. The banner lord Shun Chengjun King Bu Muba implored the crown prince to allow him to send people to Tianjin to manage his flag affairs. ”

Hearing this, Yinzhen couldn't help but muttered slightly, he just saw that Prince Jian Yaerjianga and Prince Zhuang Bo Guoduo were talking about how to effectively manage the banner people who entered the Tianjin Military Workshop, and Bu Muba's proposal for each banner to send people to Tianjin to manage their own flag affairs is definitely not conducive to the management of the military workshop, but if it is not allowed, it will be tantamount to openly annexing this part of the population of each banner, which will inevitably cause strong opposition from each banner.

In this way, there is a suspicion of losing a big one because of a small one, and his most urgent thing at present is to tear a hole in the Eight Banners system, laying a good foundation for the future reform of the Eight Banners system, as for weakening the rights of the banner owners, this is a later story, he can't eat fat in one go, he doesn't have the strength now, and he can't offend the flag owners of the Five Banners at this juncture, otherwise it is possible to attract two attacks from Kangxi and the flag owners.

What is politics? Politics is compromise, in the compromise to seek what you want, the necessary concessions, is indispensable, he has previously expressed his attitude to the Prince of Jane, Yarjianga, the Prince of Zhuang, Bo Guoduo, the two of them, resolutely not to annex this part of the banner people, Bumuba's proposal can solve this problem very well.

Agreeing that the flags will send people to Tianjin to manage the flag affairs, the flag owners and Wang Gongxungui of the five flags must be greatly relieved, not to mention full support, at least they will not secretly make trouble, and he was silent for a long time, before he said: "The flags send people to Tianjin to manage the flags and flags, and the palace has no opinion, but the management of the flags cannot be contrary to the management system of the military workshop, and when there is a conflict between the two, they must obey the management of the military workshop."

Secondly, the imperial court is very strict with the management of the royal family, the princes and nobles, and they are not allowed to leave Beijing without obeying the order, and the people who are sent to Tianjin to manage the flag affairs can only be limited to the following, and this matter is very important, and the emperor must allow it, and the palace can give a clear answer after His Majesty sees him tomorrow. ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "Brother Jiu replied to Bu Muba according to my original words, and clearly told them that the palace has no intention of annexing the population of each banner, and the banner people join the army to work in the workshop, which is related to the national fortune of the Qing Dynasty, so let them not always stare at their own one-third of an acre." ”

Listening to Yinzhen's words, Yinzhen's heart couldn't help but relax, since the old fourteenth had no intention of annexing this part of the population, this matter was much easier, he hurriedly bowed and said: "The minister Yinzhen respects the prince's order." ”

Yinzhen nodded and said: "Tell Bu Muba that the first batch of 500 banners from each banner will be selected to go to Tianjin, and they must be under thirty years old, over fifteen years old, strong, smart, and better able to read and write, and they will leave in five days." Ten days later, the new Praetorian Guard began to select new soldiers, and they selected from the five hundred men of each banner, and the palace would implore the emperor to increase the number of the first batch of soldiers, to four thousand. ”

Conscription so soon? Yin Qi couldn't help but hesitate and said, "This military camp hasn't started land acquisition yet?" ”

"How many days will it take to requisition the land?" Yinzhen said with a smile: "The banner people are used to being idle, let the recruits join the construction of the barracks, and they must remove their laziness." "...," respectfully honors the Prince's order. Yin Qi stood up. He bowed down and said, "The minister will retire first." ”

After Yinqi and Long Keduo retreated, Yinyu got up and presented this issue of the Beijing News sample with both hands, and said: "This is tomorrow's sample issue, please teach the crown prince." ”

"You don't have to be formal." Yinzhen smiled and took the sample magazine, and said, "There are no outsiders, feel free to order it." As he spoke, he looked down at the newspaper.

Where is Yinyu willing to be casual, now this fourteenth brother is the prince of the prison country, and his authority is flourishing day by day, and all the banner lords and princes are cautious in front of him, and the second brother of the former abolished prince. It couldn't be compared to it at all, and he glanced at Yinzhen, who was looking down at the newspaper. I secretly sighed in my heart, the navy has been really competitive in the past few years, winning a battle and winning a battle, and winning all battles beautifully, and the prestige of the fourteenth brother is also rising, but he seems to be not satisfied. It seems that it is a big deal again, and the Beijing News has been busy during this time.

Yinzhen read the Beijing newspaper carefully, and then said in a deep voice: "The navy has won a great victory. The ministers of the DPRK and China were quite criticized, and it was necessary to give prominence to the emperor's decision-making in order to block the mouths of the courtiers, and Japan's opening of free trade between the two ports was the first time that the Qing navy and even the imperial court fought for the interests of merchants overseas, and it must be emphasized.

Japan's dedication of the princess and relatives involves the rectification of the relationship between the clans and vassals of the Qing Dynasty, and it cannot be mentioned in one go, and in addition, it ——。 Yinzhen said and glanced at this brother with Han blood, groaned slightly, and continued: "The great victory of the conquest of Japan is a great victory in the national war, not only the victory of the imperial court, but also the victory of all subjects, and the victory of all Manchus, Han Chinese, Mongolians, Hui people, and Tibetans, which must be pointed out in the Beijing newspaper." ”

Hearing this, Yinyu was shocked, what did the fourteenth brother mean by not dividing the Han and Mongolia back to Tibet, all of them are one? This is a very large article, and after a little hesitation, he said cautiously: "If it is published like this, will the Manchu and Mongolian ministers and princes and nobles of the DPRK and China have any complaints?" ”

"It doesn't matter." Yinzhen said disappreciatively: "The navy is not divided into Han and Mongolian people returning to Tibet, what can they say?" In this way, it can not only win the hearts of the people, but also increase the prestige of the imperial court, and also strengthen the gathering of the people's hearts, what are their opinions? After speaking, seeing the hesitation on Yinyu's face, he continued: "Don't worry, the integration of all ethnic groups is the general trend, the territory of the Qing Dynasty is vast, and the people are more than 100 million. ”

As he spoke, he sighed lightly before continuing: "The Qing Dynasty is about to create a new prosperous era, and the degeneration and corruption of the children of the Eight Banners is completely predictable, and they cannot be completely relied on to protect this unprecedented huge empire, and all the people must have a sense of belonging to the Qing Dynasty and wholeheartedly support the Qing Dynasty, so that the Qing Dynasty can be as stable as a rock." ”

Yinyu didn't come back to his senses for a long time after listening to it, and the fourteenth brother was thinking too long, right? How much of a commotion does this have to make? Will the integration of various ethnic groups infringe on the interests of the Manchus? Will the emperor agree? Will the clan relatives agree? After a long silence, he finally didn't dare to ask.

Seeing Yinzhen's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Yinzhen couldn't help but smile and said: "This requires a long-term process, it is not a one-time thing, take your time, don't worry, you are in charge of the affairs of Beijing News, you must study more on weekdays, observe and understand the changes in the country and the world, not only be good at watching, but also think more."

Of course, a person's energy is limited, and it is impossible to cover everything, but once the system of Beijing News is mature, it can collect a large number of news from all over the world every day, and you must file these news in different categories, such as politics, economy, military, culture, agriculture, commerce, and clan diplomacy, and you can train professional talents and even teams to analyze and study.

Help the imperial court to keep abreast of the situation in various places and fields, and put forward various suggestions to the imperial court in a timely manner, after the system is perfected, it is also possible to be independent, if you can do the Beijing newspaper to this extent, it is not too much to make you a prince, don't envy others, do your own errand. ”

As soon as he heard this, Yinzhen was very excited, he never dreamed that Yinzhen would give him such a promise, nor did he expect that the development prospects of the Beijing Daily would be so great, an independent one, Prince Jinfeng, his face immediately swollen red, and immediately got up and said: "The crown prince admonishes and encourages, and the younger brother remembers it in his heart, and he will definitely perform his duties with peace of mind, and do his best to improve the Beijing newspaper system and live up to the prince's trust." ”

Yinzhen nodded and said, "Let's go get busy first." ”

"Brother quit." Yin Yu bowed down and said.

After Yinzhen withdrew, Yinzhen got up and stretched, moved a little, and then slowly paced in the room, each flag sent people to Tianjin to manage flag affairs, will Kangxi agree? For Kangxi, this is an excellent opportunity to weaken the Five Banners, this is tens of thousands of young and strong banner people, if Kangxi is not moved, it is impossible, how to impress and persuade Kangxi to agree?
