Chapter 271 Admiralty

Kangxi listened to the slight chin of the head, the navy is based on the clan royal family, princes and ministers, the eight banners and nobles, the wealthy families, and the children of the gentry and wealthy families, so there is no need to worry about the navy losing control, this method is not bad, and he glanced at Yinzhen with appreciation, and then he paced over and took the fold.

Flipping through it, Kangxi couldn't help but be surprised, on the list of meritorious contributions, the first place listed was Dai Zi, and the back was marked with artillery researchers, and the subsequent personnel were also marked, all of whom were researchers or chief officials of various military factories and workshops.

The second part is the naval officers, the first ones are Wu Ge and Yande, followed by Del Xu, Liu Zhisheng, Lin Wei, Kangxi took a rough look, and said very strangely: "Why is Dai Zi listed as the first meritorious?" ”

Yinzhen expected that Kangxi would have this question, and hurriedly replied calmly: "Back to Emperor Ama, the first battle of Penghu of the navy, can achieve such a record with minimal casualties, all thanks to the improvement of artillery, Dai Zi as the main researcher of improved artillery, the first contribution of this battle is none other than him, other personnel such as casting, ironmaking, and ammunition research are also indispensable, without them, there will be no improved artillery of good quality, and there will be no Penghu victory of the navy."

Huang Ama, the navigation and ship-building technology of the Western countries is changing with each passing day, and they are also closely working on the improvement and research of artillery and firearms.

If the Qing Dynasty wants to be far ahead in artillery and other weapons, it must pay attention to the study and improvement of artillery, and it must pay attention to these personnel engaged in artillery-related research, and only the advanced weapons can be enough to ensure that the Qing Dynasty is invincible.

In the early stage, the research related to artillery could be made through the progress made by these craftsmen and researchers, and the more it was improved, the more difficult it became, and it required the participation of a large number of scholars with relevant mathematical knowledge in order to make progress. At present, the navy's artillery has encountered problems such as rifling and cornering, ammunition integration, and rapid wear and tear that cannot be solved.

The move of the retainers is to motivate them through the reward of these people by Huang Ama, so as to attract more readers with relevant knowledge, hobbies, specialties, and interests to participate, and speed up and increase the progress of artillery improvement.

These people value fame and prestige, and what they are good at is research in their respective industries, and it is not good to be officials. In this way, more and more scholars will inevitably be attracted to participate in the study of improved firearms. ”

After listening to Yinzhen's long play, Kangxi slowly paced up in the hall, this is not a simple reward, the so-called researchers in the mouth of the old fourteen are actually craftsmen, this reward will inevitably cause an uproar, scholars, farmers, industrialists, merchants, craftsmen have a low social status, and they are still ranked below the peasants.

Don't give a reward, what Lao Fourteen said is reasonable, whether the artillery is advanced or not is directly related to the victory or defeat of the war, and the reward may lead to the collapse of the ceremony, Kangxi paced for a long time, and he couldn't make up his mind, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The matter of the researcher's reward, when Tianjin sacrifices prisoners, I will talk about it after watching the military exercise, but it is the reward of the naval officers, what do you suggest?" ”

Seeing that Kangxi suspended the reward for researchers, Yinzhen couldn't help but be slightly disappointed, and could only have another chance to speak in the future, he cheered up and said: "The navy was first built, and it suddenly became high, and there was a suspicion of pulling out seedlings to help it grow, and it was also necessary to leave room for future rewards, however, the current situation is special, and it is necessary to use this as a weather vane to attract many nobles and children to vote. "...,"That's too petty, this is a big victory in the national war, Wu Ge and Yande are awarded deputy generals, Del Xu, Liu Zhisheng, and Lin Wei are the three generals, and so on. Kangxi said with a smile: "The title will not be awarded for the time being, and the war will be completed and then recounted." ”

After pacing a few steps leisurely, Kangxi continued: "The establishment of the navy, I have thought about it, following the establishment of the naval division, the pattern is a little smaller, and the new naval department will be set up under the military department, which is still in charge of you, the fleet in Tianjin will be changed to the Beiyang Fleet, and the fleet in Shanghai will be changed to the Nanyang Fleet. ”

Yinzhen was quite excited to hear it before, but when he heard it, it turned into a wry smile, there were more than 70,000 officers and soldiers in Tianjin Navy, Chongming Navy, Fujian Navy, and Guangdong Navy, Kangxi actually pushed his brain to the navy, and he hurriedly asked: "Huang Ama, the salary of the Navy Division." ”

"Naturally, you, the Minister of the Navy, are in charge." Kangxi turned around and got on the kang, sat down cross-legged, and said with a smile: "If you fight a war, it will be enough for the navy to eat for ten years, and you will cry for me less." As he spoke, he took a sip of tea and said with a faint smile: "Fight this battle well, defeat Spain, and then you can return to Beijing with peace of mind, and you should also experience court affairs." ”

Experience the affairs of the court! Yinzhen Dengshi, what does Kangxi mean? Are you going to make yourself the crown prince? Don't play Secret Reserve? He didn't dare to think about it, so he quickly got up and left his seat, knelt down and said: "Xie Huang Amalongen, the son will definitely go all out to raise the prestige of my Qing army!" ”。

Lianjun Palace.

After listening to Lao Jiu Yinyu's detailed report, Eighth Elder Brother Yinyu couldn't help frowning and muttered to himself: "Since the fourteenth brother said that the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, that is, he wants to join forces with us to deal with the fourth brother, why does he want to support the fourth brother's paving in the court?" ”

Lao Shi pursed his lips and said: "Yesterday, Lao Fourteen was in the palace, and he must know that Huang Ama supports the apportionment of the mu." He is in favor of the emperor Amma, what's so strange? ”

"How can the tenth brother think so simple." Yin Yu smiled slightly: "The implementation of the apportionment into the mu, difficult, but of great significance, once successfully implemented, the fourth brother's contribution is too great, enough to make the emperor Ama impressed, the fourteenth brother will not fail to see this, but on the contrary, it will add to the trouble, which must be strange." ”

"Starling, don't bother thinking about it." Lao Jiu Yinyu sighed lightly: "Lao Fourteen has always liked to do things with swords, and we can't guess what he thinks in his heart, just look at how he gives us ideas to judge whether his words and deeds are consistent." ”

Yinxi nodded, and said in a deep voice: "What the ninth brother said is reasonable, wait quietly first." If the 14th really stretches out our hand, we will have to carefully consider our relationship with the 14th Party in the future.
