Chapter 535: Naval Might
FOLLOW - ME - READ WEN WEN - XUE XUE - LOU LOU BUILDING REMEMBER! Knowing that Wang Xiangling had resigned, Fang Bao rushed over, and saw Yinzhen pacing slowly with his hands behind his back in the room, he hesitated unconsciously, and was about to turn around, and come back after a while, but Yinzhen caught a glimpse of him, and said with a smile: "Come in"
After Fang Bao came in to greet him, he smiled and said, "Weichen is worried that he has disturbed the prince's thoughts. ”
"It doesn't matter." Yinzhen said with a smile, stretched out his hand and said, "Don't be formal, sit down." With that, he paced back to his seat, took a sip of tea, and then said, "Tell me what you think." ”
As soon as he groaned, Fang Bao said in a deep voice: "The prince is now the prince of a country, naturally he can't leave Beijing easily like a prince, the emperor is the lord of the ages, he ascended the throne at the age of eight, pro-government at the age of fourteen, and worshiped at the age of sixteen, and was in charge of power alone.
The crown prince's biggest reliance is the navy, the power in the court and the emperor can not be compared at all, after the emperor recovered, and the emperor fought for power, threatening the imperial power, that is extremely unwise, the reason why the second master ended up like this, is irrational, the eighth master responded to the call back then, but was repeatedly suppressed, but also because of the threat to the imperial power.
Can't avoid, can't fight, then you can only retreat, the current situation is already the prince of Dali, the fourth master who has the heart of the prince has gone to Europe, the third master has been implicated by the second master, and he is already powerless, the eighth master has now fallen to the prince, even if he does not give up, he can only make a secret move, and it is impossible to openly show the banner to compete for the prince. *.**/*
The emperor is already high in the spring and autumn, and suffered from a stroke, in this case, the emperor must have to think more about the aftermath, and Wei Chen secretly thought that he should take a big step back. Completely reassuring the emperor, even if his wings were cut, after the stroke, the emperor's dragon body was not as good as before. But the prince is in his prime, and the so-called small unbearable is a big plan. ”
Yinzhen nodded slightly, although there is nothing new in retreating and waiting, it is the right way, even if Kangxi's body is fully recovered, it is not as good as before, how many years can he live? Slightly groaned. He said: "Even if I retreat in stride, the emperor will not be completely relieved, after all, the navy is in my hands, and I can mobilize a huge amount of silver money at any time, but these two things cannot be handed over, judging from the emperor's usual methods, will he support the starling to balance me?" ”
Fang Bao also frowned when he heard this. This is not unfounded, the crown prince has the navy in his hands, and he can mobilize more money than the imperial court. It's really hard to say that Kangxi will be completely at ease, and these two things, the prince really can't give up, this is his biggest reliance, giving up these two things is equivalent to giving other princes a chance, and their ambitions will come out again, maybe they will follow in the footsteps of the second master.
The prince has worked hard to win over the Eighth Master Party, and naturally he doesn't want the Eighth Master to be supported again. This is not only to divide their brotherhood, but also too dangerous, the threat of the eighth master is too great, and he can't send the eighth master far away like sending the fourth master, Fang Bao was also quite tricky for a while.
Seeing that Fang Bao was silent, Yinzhen said unwillingly: "If you can go out of Beijing to avoid it for a year and a half." It is the most ideal, it not only shows the attitude, but also can make a natural transition, and then return to the capital, everything has been restored to the original state, but this excuse is really difficult to find. ”
After pondering for a long time, Fang Bao said: "The prince is the prince of a country, this excuse is really difficult to find, unless there is a war that threatens the safety of the Qing Dynasty, do you think Nanyang can make some trouble?" ”
Nanyang! Yinzhen's eyes couldn't help but light up, go to Australia, Nanyang is the only way, if Nanyang is attacked, the court will inevitably do its best to save it, but, who will be the scapegoat? From the geographical point of view, the Manchurian thorns in the South Seas are close to Siam, but Siam is not only a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, but also has always been relatively weak, and besides, it is not in line with the strategic layout of annexing the entire Southeast Asia to fight Siam first. ..., except for Siam, there is only Burma, to let Myanmar fight the South Seas, this is not ordinarily difficult, and most of Kangxi will not believe it, this matter has to be planned well, Kangxi is now a while away from full recovery, and the expedition of the Nanyang Fleet will not be until September, and the time is still very sufficient.
After groaning slightly, he said: "Let this go in advance, after a busy morning, you go down to rest first." ”

Outside the Chaoyang Gate.
Long Keduo saw the tall city tower of Chaoyang Gate from a distance, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and finally safely escorted the two million two hundred thousand taels of gold to the capital, although there was a naval escort all the way, and it was on the side of Gyeonggi, it was impossible for a thief to rob the road, but he still played twelve points of caution, two million two hundred thousand taels of gold, this is a year of revenue in the Qing Dynasty, and it is the trophy of the navy. It's no wonder that Old Fourteen doesn't skin him.
Looking back at the two-mile-long carriage, Long Keduo shouted: "When you arrive in the capital, tell everyone to work harder, and invite them to drink wine and eat meat in big bowls when they enter the city." ”
The guards immediately rode down to pass the word, and the whole convoy immediately burst into applause.
As soon as the convoy entered the city, it immediately attracted the attention of countless people, and Long Keduo looked back and forth, and saw that the soldiers of the navy and infantry commanding the yamen were guarding the carriage tightly, so he ordered: "The people shouted along the way in the form of a red flag to report the victory, the navy was victorious, and the first batch of Japan's indemnity of 2.2 million taels of gold was released into Beijing!" ”
Listening to the order, the two guards immediately raised the red flag that had been prepared long ago, urged the horse forward, and shouted all the way along the way: "The navy is conquering Japan, a great victory!" Japan called the minister Nagong, paid 70 million taels of silver, and the first batch of 2.2 million taels of gold was escorted to Beijing. ”
As the call of the red flag spread, the entire inner city of Beijing was in a sensation, and for a while, thousands of empty alleys flocked to Chaoyangmen Street to watch the escorted 2.2 million taels of gold, and the entire Chaoyangmen Street was immediately crowded with water, looking at the long and tightly covered carriage, all the people were excited.
They whispered about how the imperial court would spend this gold, and pointed to the uniforms and muskets of the naval soldiers from time to time, most of them were envious eyes and tones, and the only ones who were nervous were the shopkeepers of the big jewelry shops. It's a big loss.
I don't know who took the lead and shouted, "Long live the Qing Dynasty!" The Navy is mighty! ”
The people on the street immediately shouted involuntarily, "Long live the Qing Dynasty!" The Navy is mighty! (To be continued.)
