No. 26 Mention the eighth

Dai Zi was exiled by his family for the crime of 'fornicating with the East', and the specific reason was also known to Kangxi, but he didn't expect it to be twenty years, and sighed slightly, Kangxi said: "Dai Zi does have something outstanding in firearms, so it is accurate." Bayi Chinese~" After speaking, Kangxi turned his head, "Do you have any specific ideas about recruiting the navy?" ”

As soon as Yinzhen heard this, he knew that because of Dai Zi's matter, Kangxi aroused his fear of firearms again, and replied cautiously at the moment: "Although the navy is a good swimmer, Erchen thinks that the control of the navy is still firmly in the hands of our Manchurians.

In addition, the recruitment of soldiers can not be concentrated in one place, so as not to appear in the group and other difficult to control the situation, the retainers plan to be recruited separately in Fengtian, Beijing, Tianjin, Shandong, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places, the first batch of people is set at 2,000, not too old, preferably under the age of 18, can read and hyphenate better.

At present, most of the navies of Western countries are about 40,000, and Erchen plans to train 20,000 in five years, and this military salary is nominally issued by the state, but in fact it can be paid by the profits of the ocean-going trade fleet, without increasing the burden on the state. ”

Kangxi frequently bowed his head, twisted his beard and said: "You have been trained over the years, you have a clear priority and a clear order, it is rare to be able to prevent it from happening, the world has been peaceful for many years, the livelihood of the Eight Banners is difficult, and the recruitment of the navy can also be eased a little, okay, this matter will be handed over to you, I can rest assured, there is only one thing you must remember, firearms must be strictly managed, so that not a single gun will flow out." Bayi Chinese~{xiaoshuoyd/.*text}"

Out of the palace, it was dinner time, but Yinzhen did not return to the house, sent two guards to invite the tenth and ninth to the Lianbeile Mansion of the starling Yinxi, and then sent people to call Zheng Shichang, Haifeng, Yang Min, Bai Ziyun, Ding Shan, missionary Min Ming and a few others to wait in the house, and then he did not sit in a sedan chair, and walked all the way.

Although the establishment of the ocean-going fleet and the naval academy does not cost the country a penny, it involves a wide range of things, with Kangxi's temperament that he can't say anything to people, this matter will definitely be raised in public at the court meeting, if there are too many people who oppose it, it is one thing for Kangxi's face to be unsightly, if it affects Kangxi's support for himself, Yinzhen really can't even find a place to cry, so Yinzhen has to talk to Starling Yinzhen first.

Yinzhen didn't expect Yinzhen to come to the mansion at this time, and when he heard the report, he hurriedly put the bowl and greeted him, "Fourteenth brother, you really know how to pick time, you haven't eaten the Reading Pavilion yet, and I have already ordered the wine and food to be reorganized." Bayi Chinese~"

Yinzhen smiled: "Starling won't blame me for bothering the Reading Pavilion. ”

"Hehe, you are now a big financier, and no matter how many people beg you, you can't ask for it." Yin Yu laughed and said, "It's a rare opportunity today, have a few drinks." ”

"Fourteen also thought so, so he also sent someone to invite the ninth brother and the tenth brother." Yinzhen said all the way.

Yinxi's footsteps were paused, and he said in a low voice: "Just came out of the palace? ”

Yinzhen nodded, and said in a somewhat depressed tone: "When we get together today, I'm afraid that our brothers will be separated again." ”

"You want to leave Beijing?" Yin Yu said in surprise, and after a pause, he smiled again: "Okay, it's okay for you today." ”

Until the old nine and ten came, Yinxi didn't ask a word more, and when the feast was reopened, he didn't say anything serious, just Yin Yin persuaded to drink, laughing and talking about Fengyue, and when the old nine and ten saw this situation, they also suppressed the doubts in their hearts, and only cared about drinking and laughing.

After the Xi dispersed, the four of them went to Yinzhen's study to drink tea, and Yinzhen told the story of building an ocean-going fleet in detail, and at the end, he said in a sincere tone: "This matter, the emperor is too worried, and the fourteenth did not communicate with his brothers first."

Lao Jiu Yinyu saw that Yinzhen was making his own assertion again, and took more than 10 million silver to build an ocean-going fleet in vain, which was obviously a thankless effort, and couldn't help but sneer: "Then you rushed to the starling brother as soon as you left the palace, why aren't you afraid of the emperor's heart?" ”

Yinyu's vision is not comparable to Lao Jiu, as soon as he heard Lao Jiu's tone, he was anxious, stood up and shouted, "Yinyu, are you drinking high?" This one after the other, but there is a world of difference, and you can't even weigh this? Afraid that Yinyu would be too embarrassed, he went on to explain: "This Jingshi all said that our four brothers are one party, how can Huang Ama not know? Fourteen if you come to us first, and then go to Huang Ama, how can you hide from Huang Ama, don't underestimate this before and after, the truth in this is big, besides, this move of Fourteen, not only go wonderfully, but also go steadily, this insight and courage, starling I am also sighing to myself. ”

Lao Jiu calmed down and pondered when Yinxi said this, but Lao Shi Yinqi was a straight tube and muttered in a low voice. "Is this an unknown way to throw more than 10 million into the sea for nothing?"

"Brother Ten, think more about the big picture when you encounter problems, don't always see a little in front of you." Yinzhen said with a smile, he still has a mess of things when he goes back, but he doesn't want to spend it here, after speaking, he looked at the starling Yinzhen, "Starling, you can see this matter clearly, I don't chew my tongue, I'm afraid that going out of Beijing is just these days, there are some words, I don't vomit unhappy, today is a rare opportunity, I said it together." ”

The three of them all felt Yinzhen's strength from this sentence, and in half a year, Fourteen seemed to have changed as if he had changed a person, but the three of them also knew that what Yinzhen was going to say next was extremely heavy, so the three of them looked at each other and looked at each other.

Yinzhen really wants to knock on his three dead friends, once he goes out of Beijing, but it is not so convenient, "Brother Ten, you have a straightforward temperament, but you are the most liked by Huang Ama, even if there are occasional small mistakes, Huang Ama will not embarrass you, but Brother Jiu, your Zhuangzi in the western suburbs had better take advantage of the morning to get rid of it, and his subordinates must also be strictly controlled, and the ginseng matter is also stopped, and the timber business you go to Shanghai, fourteen in one day, you can save one day." ”

In the end, Yinzhen looked at the eighth child, "Brother Starling, the fourteenth is the most relieved is you, the matter of the prince pushing you to the forefront of the waves, I still don't know if there is someone else behind this matter, Huang Ama is eloquent, his scheming, means, and conspiracy, our twelve brothers are tied together and are beyond reach, fight, we must fight, but there is a bottom line, we can't touch the imperial power." Also, be careful of the second and fourth brothers. I've been very busy these days, so I'm going to take my leave. ”

Touch the imperial power! These four words are like a slap in the head, Yinxi's heart roared, the bitterness, doubts, grievances, and melancholy of the past half a year were suddenly resolved, the deposition of the prince, the banning and canonization of the brothers, the humiliation of the prince, the reinstatement of the prince, the frequent appointment and transfer of the first and second grades, the root of all this is these four words, touching the imperial power!
