Chapter 553: Buying People's Hearts

As soon as he heard that there was no need to be bored here, he smiled when he realized that something was wrong, and quickly put up his face and said in a deep voice: Yinqi must do his best to ask the crown prince for orders

Yinzhen paused slightly before saying: You will return to the capital tomorrow and work with Yinxiang to complete the recruitment of the banner people into the army, the workshop and the recruitment of the new army of the Praetorian Guard, and the Shunyi military camp will be occupied first, and then the compensation will be made in the future, and the original plan is 4,000 vests, and then 1,000 will be recruited from the upper three banners, a total of 5,000 vests, which must be completed within ten years of the scheduled number of soldiers

As soon as he heard that it was this errand, Yin Qi couldn't help but be secretly happy, this errand was not difficult, and the time was long, and Kangxi should wake up after the errand, he was busy and said: The minister respects the decree of the crown prince

The recruitment of new recruits by the Praetorian Guard has long been agreed, the original plan is to start recruiting soldiers in ten days, Ding Yinzhen is now changing to ten days to recruit soldiers, it is not surprising, in the three banners to recruit an additional thousand, but to increase the control of the new army, after all, the three banners are led by the emperor himself, which is understandable

Yin Yu didn't realize anything, but Fang Bao faintly moved in his heart, the new guard army is no better than the navy, the children of the eight banners have practiced riding and archery since childhood, these five thousand people and horses are gathered together, with a little training, and immediately it is a strong force, the prince accelerates the formation of the new guard, and insists on house arrest, the princes and princes and ministers have a whole plan so quickly

Yinzhen groaned slightly before he said slowly: The major affairs of the country are only the same as the Rong Janissary Guard, and the New Army is not as good as the Eight Banners stationed in Beijing, which is for the expedition to the Northwest and Russia, and the victory or defeat is not trivial, but it is directly related to the national prestige and military prestige of the Qing Dynasty, and affects the national fortunes of the Qing Dynasty for a hundred years

At present, although the firearms of the Great Qing Dynasty are superior to those of Russia, the weapons of victory or defeat in the war are not the most critical, the most critical thing is that the soldiers must have a group of brave, loyal, strong, disciplined, courageous sacrifice, daring to take risks, good at summing up, absolutely obedient, and full of a sense of honor, in order to completely defeat Russia and dominate Asia

The first batch of non-commissioned officers of the Praetorian New Army are not only role models for the entire Praetorian Guard New Army, but also the future middle, low-level, and even high-level officers of the Praetorian Guard

The elimination rate of the first batch of cadets of the Navy is extremely high, in order to ensure that you can select 5,000 qualified soldiers, and you are allowed to recruit one or two times more, it doesn't matter, the palace does not lack that bit of silver, after the half-year training period, the palace personally presides over the assessment and strictly screens

Brother Ten has no experience in the battalion, Yinxiang has been in the navy for a long time, he has experience in this area, this recruitment of recruits is mainly based on him, you have to humbly ask for advice, learn more, and not be the slightest neglect and slack

Hearing what Yinzhen said so cautiously, Yinzhen stood up solemnly, hugged his fists and half-bowed: The minister respects the crown prince's edict and orders that recruits new soldiers must be screened layer by layer, and the best of the best must be selected to live up to the crown prince's trust

Yinxi and Fang Bao heard this, and they already tasted a little bit of taste, the prince is expanding the recruitment of the new army of the Praetorian Guard for half a year on the grounds that the elimination rate is super high, and after half a year, I am afraid that the second conscription will start again, I don't know how many people he will recruit, 10,000 or 20,000, it seems that the prince is beginning to take precautions

After Kangxi sobered up, if he knew what his reaction would be, Yinxi's heart jumped, and he hurriedly suppressed this idea, the formation of the Praetorian Guard New Army was the excuse for the expansion of the old fourteenth allowed by Kangxi, and it was also glossy, and the navy was indeed greatly eliminated before, and this matter could only be suspected in his heart and could not be put on the table

Yinzhen groaned slightly, glanced at the three of them, and said in a deep voice: If the king is not secret, he will lose his ministers, and if he is not secret, he will lose his body, and if he is not secret, he will be harmed

Old Fourteen, does this mean that he wants to keep it secret, or does it mean otherwise, what does it mean that Old Fourteen wants to reuse himself, and he has no time to think about it, so he quickly bowed down and said: The minister respects the crown prince's teachings

Yinzhen and Fang Bao knew that Yinzhen was deliberately beating him, both of them were awe-inspiring in their hearts, how could the old fourteen sound like they had the meaning of letting the old ten palm beetle guard the new army, Lao Jiu had been poached by him, if the old ten were palm beetle guards the new army, they would have no helper, and the eight master party would exist in name only, and the old fourteen would not be worse than Kangxi...,

Seeing that the three of them were all awe-inspiring, Yinzhen picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said lightly: Huang Ama has no worries about his life, and he doesn't have to stay up to rest first

In summer, before dawn, the sky is white

The eunuchs and palace maids in the Xiaotangshan Palace began to get busy early, and so many people lived in the palace at once, and they were all princes and princes and ministers, none of them dared to be lazy, and now Kangxi is critically ill, no one is comfortable, if the waiter is not careful, the punishment is still a trivial matter, and he will be wronged

The princes, princes and ministers who had stayed up all night were secretly relieved to see that there was no bad news, Kangxi was able to survive the most dangerous night, and the situation might be much better, but before there was no exact news, they still didn't dare to completely put their minds at ease, and everyone went to Kangxi's dormitory one after another to kowtow in the name of asking for peace, hoping to find out a little news

However, in the entire palace, the guards were heavily guarded, and the guards were three steps and one sentry, and even the eunuchs and palace maids were all avoided, and the distant imperial doctors couldn't even see the figures, and everyone was disappointed

It was not until the beginning of the hour that the eunuch came to report to the crown prince and summoned everyone to the main hall of the front palace for a meeting

After receiving the rumor, a group of people did not dare to slack off, and hurried to the main hall of the front palace, taking advantage of Yinzhen's arrival, they all inquired about each other's news, and the princes, princes and ministers all stayed awake all night, and no one knew the specific situation, and the only eighth elder brother and tenth elder brother who knew the inside story did not dare to reveal it a little, so naturally they couldn't find out anything new

Yinzhen squinted a little when the morning was about to dawn, and was only awakened when he was washed, and after eating, he listened to the report of the Tai Hospital, and rushed to the main hall of the front palace at four o'clock in the morning

Seeing Yinxiang's ascension, the princes and ministers immediately ignored the phlegm and cough, and only saluted Yinzhen after respectfully greeting Sheng'an

After Libi, Yinzhen glanced at everyone under the stairs and said in a deep voice: Meng Liezu and the ancestors blessed the emperor last night and passed the most dangerous juncture, this is the blessing of my Qing Dynasty, the blessing of the court officials, and the direct blessing of all the people in the world

However, the emperor is still unconscious, and his condition is still not stable, and now he is still in danger, I am the first of the Qing Dynasty, and I have always ruled the world with filial piety, all of whom are royal family relatives, and the courtiers of the Qing Dynasty should be the model of the court, and the model of a hundred officials should be with the emperor to fulfill filial piety

All the princes, princes and ministers were shocked when they heard this, and the possibility of recovery from the stroke was extremely small, Kangxi was in a coma for about ten years after a stroke last time, and this time it is obviously even more serious, when will he wake up, and what kind of situation he will be in after waking up, it is difficult to stay in this small Tangshan Palace, but the crown prince's words are upright, and there is no way to refute them at all

Besides, Kangxi's current situation will aggravate the hemiplegia situation even if he can be sober, and it is impossible to deal with the situation of the imperial prince for a long time, who will have nothing to do, and he will touch his moldy head if he is full

Eighth Elder Brother Yinxi took a step forward and bowed down and said: The sage trains the head of filial piety, filial piety is the foundation of benevolence, it is the path of heaven and earth, and the righteous people are the emperor's serious illness, and we are serving as courtiers, both loyal and filial, this is a matter of course, and the minister Yinxi respects the instructions of the crown prince

As soon as Yinxi's words fell, Zhang Pengxi immediately flashed out and bowed down and said: filial piety and loyalty, the fundamental courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame of the country, the four-dimensional etiquette of the country is the foundation of the country, benevolence is the foundation of government, benevolence and courtesy are the golden mean, I have the Qing Dynasty to rule the world with filial piety, and the hundred officials of the court should be the model of all the people

Listening to Yinxi and Zhang Pengxi's words, all the princes and princes and ministers couldn't help but secretly slander themselves, and no one objected

Listening to the voice of seconding, Yinzhen couldn't help but secretly laugh at the starling brother, but it was a big help, and he had to wrap it up well, and after a slight groan, he spoke: The emperor is seriously ill, and the king will return to Beijing to order the monks of the Taoist temples in Gyeonggi to pray for the emperor

Weichen ordered the king to hurriedly go out and bow

Yinzhen then said: You waited for the people who hurriedly left Beijing last night, and the people in Beijing must speculate wildly Yinzhen, you go back to Beijing and issue a notice in Shuntianfu to make a truthful announcement to appease people's hearts and stabilize the Jingshi..., Yinzhen hurriedly bowed down and said: Chen Yinyu received the order

Yinzhen nodded and said: The emperor is seriously ill, and the palace, as the crown prince, naturally has to serve the emperor, so as not to delay the imperial court's government affairs, he will change to listen to the government in the Xiaotangshan Palace every day, and the time is set at four o'clock (ten o'clock).

Hearing the reward of the double squad, all the princes, princes and ministers were overjoyed, their sufficiency is the highest reward of the double squad, they can be said to be the biggest beneficiary, Li Guangdi hurriedly came out of the queue and knelt and said: The crown prince is sympathetic to the ministers, it is really the blessing of the hundred officials, and the ministers thank the crown prince Longen

All the princes, princes, and ministers immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "The ministers thank the crown prince Longen."

Yinxi admired it in his heart, the old fourteen, this is obviously buying people's hearts, but he is taking advantage of the trend without a trace, this means is really nothing to say

When everyone thanked him, Bi Yinzhen bowed his head slightly and said: All the ministers and workers can go to the emperor's bedroom every morning and evening to say goodbye, then get up and say: Disperse

Out of the main hall, Yinzhen instructed Da Chun to say: Go and invite a few ministers to come to the East Side Palace
