Chapter 223 agitated Kangxi

Sending Zheng Shichang away, Yinzhen ordered someone to prepare a sedan chair and enter the palace to see Kangxi, it is already the seventeenth day of the first month, it is time to go back to Shanghai, all the affairs of the capital have been dealt with, there is no need to stay in this matter, although the old thirteen have not urged these days, but they are also sent to come over every other day to inquire about the news, and they can't wait for a long time.

When he went to Jingyunmen and handed over the sign, Yinzhen learned that Kangxi was talking to the Empress Dowager Renxian in Shouning Palace, this Empress Dowager Renxian was the Empress Xiaohuizhang of Shunzhiye, Kangxi's adoptive mother, who was seventy years old this year, and she couldn't talk long if she wanted to come to Kangxi to accompany her.

However, after waiting for half an hour, the little eunuch came out to pass the word, and Yinzhen met him in the Heart Cultivation Palace.

As the little eunuch entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, Yinzhen finished the ceremony, and Kangxi smiled and said, "But are you ready to go to Jiangnan?" ”

Yinzhen bowed down and replied, "Hui Huangma, yes." Because he was kneeling, Yinzhen's answer was very simple.

Kangxi smiled slightly, "Li Dequan, give a seat, enjoy tea." ”

After thanking him, Yinzhen got up and sat down, and then bowed and said: "Huang Ama, the second-class battleship is expected to be launched in March, Erchen is very worried, all the errands in Beijing have been completed, and Erchen still has Jiangnan errands, and if he is in the capital, it will cause gossip again." ”

"Done with the errand?" Kangxi smiled, "This is the edict I just got from the Queen Mother. As he spoke, he handed over a scroll of yellow silk.

As soon as he heard that it was the Empress Dowager's decree, Yinzhen hurriedly knelt down and took it with both hands, and Kangxi continued: "This is the Empress Dowager's will to pardon Dai Mingshi, I expected that you should also go, and made a special trip to ask for this decree for you, and the case of "Nanshan Collection" will be closed in your hands." ”

This is a great favor, with the queen mother's will, the "Nanshan Collection" case can be beautifully ended, in this way, his reputation in Shilin is really in full swing, Yinzhen hurriedly kowtowed and thanked: "Thank you for your compassion." ”

Kangxi nodded slightly: "The preparations for the Beijing News are complete?" ”

"Back to Emperor Ama, it's perfect." Yinzhen replied respectfully: "The fifteenth brother is smart and studious, diligent and steady, and the sons want him to supervise the issuance of the Beijing Daily, and they also hope that the emperor will allow it." ”

Let the old fifteenth be in charge of the Beijing Daily, Kangxi is not surprised, the Beijing newspaper was founded by Yinzhen, and it is a money-losing goods, he let the old fifteenth be in charge, it is also reasonable, he groaned slightly, he said: "Well, I will allow you to invite, but the circulation of the Beijing Daily is a little small, what should you do?" ”

As soon as he heard that Kangxi wanted to increase the circulation of the Beijing Daily, Yinzhen hesitated slightly, thought a little, and then replied: "Huang Ama, the Beijing Daily is published every five days, and 20,000 copies are printed every day, which is a little tight, can you postpone the delivery of the Beijing Newspaper in remote provinces for one day, so that it can be relieved." ”

One day earlier, one day later, the problem is not big, there is really a big deal, the provincial Tang officials in Beijing are fast horses, but the remote provinces are far away, and one day later, isn't it slower, as the time goes by, those local officials will inevitably have opinions, thinking that the imperial court does not attach importance to remote provinces, thinking of this, Kangxi said: "This is an expedient measure, as time goes by, the delivery of remote provinces will be slack." ”

"Huang Ama is far-reaching, and his ministers are urging the printing speed to be raised as soon as possible." Seeing that Kangxi disagreed, Yinzhen hurriedly agreed, and Kangxi, who was exempt, had other ideas.

Seeing that Yinzhen should be accepted, Kangxi also changed the topic, "What do you think about Zha Siting as the magistrate of Shanghai?" ”

Zha Siting's appointment as the magistrate of Shanghai was completely Kangxi's sacred heart tacitly, Yinzhen originally thought that Kangxi would explain, but he didn't expect that he would ask so rhetorically, he couldn't help but secretly think in his heart, being the emperor is good, even if it is explained, it is so strong, and he must study hard in the future.

Regarding Kangxi's intention to appoint Zha Siting as the magistrate of Shanghai, he and Fang Bao had discussed, and sighed slightly, Yinzhen calmly replied: "Back to Huang Ama, Jiangnan is the fundamental place of the country, Shanghai is the window of Jiangnan to the outside world, and the local gentry have always had simple folk customs.

Although the prosperity is flourishing, but the erosion of foreign culture is not to be ignored, Zha Siting was born in a scholarly family, and has been influenced by etiquette since childhood. Huang Ama was far-sighted and took precautions, but his sons were in Shanghai, but they didn't notice it, and they were really ashamed. ”

Kangxi nodded and said with a smile: "If you can have this insight, it is not in vain that you have been training abroad for two years, but the widespread education in Shanghai is not only to prevent the slightest slight, but also to show favor overseas." In the land of Nanyang, since the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, there have been a large number of Han people who have migrated to, and since this dynasty, it has a history of more than 1,000 years, which can be said to have a long history, and the total number of Han people living in Nanyang is not less than one million.

Today, under the peace, the people's hearts are stable, if the wealth and education etiquette of the south of the Yangtze River can be passed on to all parts of the Nanyang through the mouth of Nanyang merchants, and the overseas people will be brought back, it will also be a great event. ”

Yinzhen laughed secretly when he heard it, Kangxi really had this idea, but he didn't expect him to be so conservative, just expecting overseas people to return and add to his prosperity, it seems that he has no confidence in his ocean-going fleet, if he sees the power of the ocean-going fleet, he is afraid that he will change his mind immediately.

Thinking of this, Yinzhen replied: "Huang Ama is far-reaching and well-intentioned, but Erchen thinks that since there are so many Han people migrating in Nanyang, it must also be a rich land, so why not take it once and for all?"

At present, the world is peaceful, the people are stable, it is a good time to wantonly conquer, the ministers are not talented, and they are willing to conquer Nanyang in person, open up territory for our Qing Dynasty, and add Nanyang Province. ”

Expedition to the South Seas? Kangxi couldn't help but be stunned, this is something he can't think of, a Taiwan, he has spent a lot of effort, not to mention the South Seas, not only far away, but also many islands, not a small Taiwan can be compared, this kid actually said wildly, adding Nanyang Province.

Kangxi glanced at Yinzhen, saw his calm face, and was quite puzzled in his heart, this old fourteen has been in Shanghai for more than two years, and often interacts with merchants in the sea trade, it is impossible not to know the situation in Nanyang, only to conquer Japan a year ago, and to conquer Nanyang after the year, thinking that the old thirteen went to the navy, he not only muttered to himself, didn't the old fourteen want to fight on both sides, right?

Instead, he thought of Fengshan in Taiwan, where the port is separated from Nanyang by a sea, and the old fourteen got Xu Shizhen, the magistrate of Shanghai, to go to Fengshan as the magistrate, this guy wouldn't have had the idea of conquering Nanyang, right? How strong was his ocean-going fleet to make him so ambitious?

After pondering for a long time, Kangxi said lightly: "It's okay to conquer Japan, why did you come out to conquer the South Seas again?" Military affairs, how can you be so childish? ”

"Back to the Emperor Ama." Yinzhen calmly replied: "Japan is just exploring the bag, the South Seas is the main battlefield, and it is also the South Seas that will compete with Western countries in the future." Nanyang is calm, Erchen doesn't mind taking Japan to practice his hands, if there is a change in Nanyang, Erchen will want to go to Nanyang first, and then turn back to take Japan, Japan, the land of projectiles, and close the country, no external force, there will be no major changes in decades, it is advisable at any time. The Western countries are different, they are always making progress and are ambitious, grabbing territory everywhere. ”

Nanyang is the main battlefield, Kangxi pondered for a long time, and then stared at Yinzhen and said: "The overseas place you are talking about, is it Nanyang?" ”

Since it is a poor dagger, Yinzhen no longer hides it, and simply gives it all out to win Kangxi's support, he bowed down and replied: "Return to the emperor Ama, looking for overseas land, Nanyang is a necessary place, if you don't take Nanyang, you can't go far, even if you find a large piece of land overseas, you can't calmly transport materials and move people without taking Nanyang." ”

As soon as he heard this, Kangxi couldn't help but secretly wonder, it seemed that Lao Fourteen had already planned to conquer the South Seas, and he proposed to build an ocean-going fleet, and its purpose may have been to conquer the South Seas.

To be able to include Nanyang into the territory of the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi is naturally a thousand wishes, not only to add a strong stroke to the prosperous era, but also to eliminate the future troubles for the Qing Dynasty, however, if the Qing Dynasty is dragged into the quagmire of war because of this, this situation that is not easy to operate may be ruined, and it is quite suspicious of adding to the snake.

After thinking for a while, Kangxi said: "Since you have the intention to conquer the South Seas, you can talk about the situation of the South Seas and your preliminary idea of the South Seas. ”

As soon as he heard this, Yinzhen knew that Kangxi was tempted, and he was in good spirits, and said eloquently: "The countries of Annam, Sulu, Burma, Nanzhang and Siam on the Nanyang continent are all part of our Qing Dynasty, not to mention for the time being, the current ocean-going fleet is mainly aimed at the major islands in the South Sea.

The Nanyang Islands, with Luzon, Borneo, Java Island three major islands are the mainstay, except for Borneo, the other two islands are occupied by Western forces, one is entrenched in Luzon Spain, also known as Franco, the other is entrenched in Java, that is, the Karopa, the Netherlands is also known as the Red Hair State, the Netherlands once also occupied Taiwan.

In addition, there is another country, the United Kingdom, which has extended its tentacles into the South Seas and is preparing to intervene in the South Seas.

Erchen envisioned that with Taiwan's port of beating dogs as a springboard, he would first take Luzon Island and eliminate Spain entrenched on it, which had two advantages: First, with Luzon Island as a base, he could quickly occupy Borneo (Kalimantan Island), which has no foreign forces at present, and Borneo was not only rich in products, but also had a vast area, much larger than Taiwan, and could be invincible in the South China Sea if he occupied these two major islands.

Second, Spain has collaborated with local natives to massacre tens of thousands of local Han Chinese on several occasions, and the Nanyang Han people hate them deeply, and the extermination of Spain can quickly gain the support of the Nanyang Han people.

With Luzon and Borneo, they also gained a firm foothold in the South Seas, and then, before Britain penetrated into the South Seas, they fought the Netherlands, seized the Java Islands, and expelled the Netherlands from the South Seas.

Then he occupied Manchuka and Karopa, and in one fell swoop blocked the passage of Western countries into the South Seas, and the South Seas were in my bag. ”
