On August 23, the eighth day after the defeat of Shi Lang's army, and the seventh day after the shelling of Tongshan and Jinxia, there was still a joyful atmosphere in the Forbidden City in Beijing, and everyone was still rejoicing at the great victory in Penghu, and some people were ready to present Kangxi with honorific titles after the arrival of the good news on the Shi Lang platform.

However, the real ministers are not busy with this, no, as the crown prince, the scholar of Wuyingdian and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the assistant leader, and the first-level minister, Mingzhu, who is one of the ministers of Kangxi, is discussing the matter of Kangxi's first southern tour with the cabinet secretary and the additional Hanlin Academy.
"Now the sea is about to be tied, the country is unified, and the emperor's virtue is comparable to three generations, so some people mention that the eastern tour of Mount Tai is sealed, and the emperor is quite moved, but the precedent of Song Zhenzong is still there, and the emperor does not want to make a fuss, so the eastern tour will be changed to the southern tour, and it is also good to deter the people of Jiangnan to show the orthodoxy of this dynasty. But the southern tour needs silver, the imperial court has just pacified the three feudatories and the sea rebellion, and the treasury is scarce, this point is not solved well, I am afraid it will damage the emperor's face, Jiangcun, what good ideas do you have. โ
In fact, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Mingzhu should not meddle in the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, but the reason why he wants to insert a bar horizontally is that on the one hand, Mount Tai and Nanjing Sacrifice Mausoleum are both related to the business of the Ministry of Rites, and it is logical for him to intervene, on the other hand, it is just to compete for favor with his old rival Suo Etu in front of Kangxi.
Gao Shiqi, who knew this, originally didn't want to get involved in the struggle between the two powerful ministers, but now that he was directly asked by Mingzhu, he couldn't shirk it, so he could only reply stubbornly: "If the household department has no money, why don't you borrow some money from the internal affairs government first, and then pay it back when you are rich?" โ
"Borrow from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Mingzhu groaned, you must know that the Internal Affairs Office is Suo Etu's territory, if he or his people mention yรฌ to take money from the Internal Affairs Office, will they directly conflict with the other party?
So he asked with some hesitation. "If the Ministry of Internal Affairs refuses, what if that's good?"
"What I want is that the Ministry of Internal Affairs does not borrow," Gao Shiqi was appreciated by Kangxi for his quick thinking and fast response, and now he is just a little bit, and Mingzhu suddenly realizes. "It's good for such a big person to speak in the cabinet."
"Makes sense," Mingzhu laughed. "If the husband doesn't fight, the world can't compete with it, and the southern tour is a big thing." Speaking of this, Mingzhu's gaze froze. "If the Internal Affairs Office says no, and then Suo Etu comes forward halfway, won't we make wedding dresses for people?"
"Could it be that Ming Ge is always worried that the emperor doesn't know that Suo Etu is covering the sky in the Internal Affairs Office?"
"Jiangcun, Jiangcun, you are really a good person." Mingzhu nodded repeatedly. "Then" Mingzhu's words were not finished, and through the window paper, he saw Suo Etu, who was hugging each other, walked in, he immediately restrained what he had just said, and just asked Gao Shiqi casually: "Yesterday, the excerpt on Henan"
"Yo, Ming Ge is here." Suo Etu, who walked into the room, saw Mingzhu and Gao Shiqi talking at a glance, so he pretended to greet him warmly, but intentionally or unintentionally interrupted the conversation between the two. "Jiangcun is also there."
"Old Suo Ge is here!" The two of them also immediately said hello to Suo Etu, and when Suo Etu was seated, Xiao Sula, who was waiting, brought tea, and Mingzhu said. "I just talked to Jiangcun about the excerpt in Henan yesterday, and it was just right that Suo Ge Lao came, let's discuss it together, lest the emperor ask, and we will be embarrassed if we can't answer."
Suo Etu just wanted to say something, but someone broke in outside the door: "Suo Ge Lao, Ming Ge Lao, the big thing is not good, Fujian's six hundred miles are urgent, and it is reported that Shi Lang has lost contact, and the gunboats of the sea rebellion have continuously attacked Tongshan and Jinxia, and Fujian has been shocked three times a day." โ
As if the sky was falling apart, the three people present were stunned, and it took a long time for Suo Etu to wake up: "Where's the excerpt? โ
The person who came reported: "The excerpt has been sent to the palace by the General Secretary, and the two cabinet elders are asked to prepare as soon as possible, in case the emperor is the emperor."
Suo Etu didn't have time to be grateful, so he pushed this person away, and hurriedly went to the south study, Mingzhu hurriedly chased after him and walked side by side, only Gao Shiqi did not dare to meet Tianyan without permission because of his humble officials, so he stayed alone in the cabinet to comfort the "injured" messenger.
Mingzhu said to Suo Etu as he walked: "Suo Ge Lao, the sea is rampant, the emperor will inevitably be thunderous and angry, in case it involves the personnel of Fujian Province, Yao Qisheng and Wu Xingzuo are both cadres, and they have experience in presiding over the war in the Fujian Sea, and I also ask Lord Suo to help save one or two." โ
Suo Etu snorted and didn't respond, but Mingzhu, who knew the temperament of the old opponent, was sure in his heart, and knew that Suo Etu would not produce another moth, so he silently accompanied him side by side, and soon a first-class guard who came to summon him appeared in front of him: "The two pavilion elders came just in time, and the emperor was furious when he saw Fujian's excerpts, and ordered the two pavilion elders to meet immediately."
When they arrived at the south study, Suo Etu and Ming Zheng found that Kangxi's love had eased, and the two of them put down their hearts, which is also, after all, the Taiwan Strait is a corner, and it is nothing to this huge empire.
After the two of them saluted, they listened to Kangxi's words: "Mingzhu and Suo Etu, you have probably heard about it, Shi Lang is trapped in Taiwan, and it is estimated that Penghu will not be able to keep it, although Fujian Province is not erosive, but Yao Qisheng is too worried and fell ill, Wu Xingzuo and Wan Zhengse are now as anxious as ants on a hot pot, you see, what should the court do now?" โ
"The slave thinks that Shi Lang is defeated, rebelled or something else, and Fujian Province has not yet completely figured it out, just because the warships were taken away by Shi Lang and are unable to deal with a small number of sea rebellions, so the first thing to do is to calm down." After reading the joint excerpt of Wu Xingzuo and Wan Zhengse in one glance and ten lines, Mingzhu responded first. "It's better to let Wu Xingzuo temporarily act as the governor of Fujian, and use Wan Zhengse as the acting commander of the navy, prepare first, and use the land division of Fujian Province to guard against the return of the sea rebellion, and then the imperial court will slowly send troops from various provinces to reinforce the generals."
"The slave thinks that even if Shi Lang is defeated, Hai Reverse will also suffer a lot, after all, the defeat of Penghu is not a fraud, so it is impossible for Hai Lang to counterattack on a large scale." Suo Etu also finished reading the excerpts, and he built yรฌ. "Perhaps Fujian Province can be ordered to send people to Taiwan again to appease him, so as to find out the truth and make plans for the future."
Kangxi nodded, he also thought about it just now, but the frustration in his heart was also overflowing, so he vented his anger and said: "Li Guangdi is embarrassed to stay at home, and reiterate the boundary sealing order, and the rest will be done according to your wishes."
"Brother Weiying, I'm not wrong, Shisun can indeed guarantee Mingzuo." In a certain courtyard in the city of Guangzhou, Chen Shenwu, who had been worried for a while, looked like he was talking and laughing at the moment, and although his ties with Taiwan had not yet been restored, the news of Taiwan's great victory gave him the confidence to suppress those underground anti-Qing organizations at both ends of the world. "With Taiwan's armed forces as a reliance, although there is still a long way to go in the great cause of opposing the Qing Dynasty, it is no longer wishful thinking."
Yue Cheng (recommended by book friend Fenghua Guoyue), that is, the man who was called Brother Wei Ying by Chen Shenwu was wearing a military attache robe of the six grades of the Qing court, and no one would have thought that he was actually one of the leaders of Qu Shiyun's old Liangguang anti-Qing underground organization, but at this moment he had a shy look on his face, and said to Chen Shenwu: "Brother Chen can see it accurately, and brother is ashamed." โ
"Brother Wei Ying just hasn't seen his grandson, and if he does, he won't make a mistake." Chen Shenwu took the opportunity to let the other party go down the steps to praise Zheng Kezhang a few words, and when the scene between the two sides was finished, he turned to the topic. "I think I'll be in touch with us soon when I come to Taiwan, but I don't know if Brother Weiying is ready?"
"The human teeth of the prefectures and counties in northern and western Guangdong have already been negotiated, and after the Qinglou here in Guangzhou is built, it will be possible to transport women to Taiwan openly and openly in the name of providing bitches to Guangzhou." Yue Cheng replied. "It's just that the brother's official position is small, the face is narrow, and the favor is thin, and the checkpoints along the way still need to be touched, but the problem with this money?"
"Money is indeed a big problem, although the grandson won this battle, Taiwan's losses must be not small, I am afraid that there will be no spare strength to support you and me for a while." Chen Shenwu squinted his eyes and thought for a long time, and finally came up with a solution. "By the way, Brother Weiying, we may be able to discuss with the maritime merchants in Guangdong Province?"
"I'm afraid it's a little difficult." Brother Wei Ying shook his head in opposition without even thinking about it. "Jiang Shizhen, the guy who recognizes the thief as his father, has cleaned up the private businessmen in Guangdong too much." Jiang Shizhen in the mouth of Brother Weiying is the current governor of Guangdong Li Shizhen, Chongzhen fifteen years, Huang Taiji broke through the pass into Zhili Shandong plunder, his father Jiang Yan was killed by the Houjin soldiers on the way to escape, he himself was also swept away by the Houjin to the outside of the pass, as a result, he couldn't stand the suffering He groveled to the Tartars, and within two years, he actually relied on the chrysanthemum to become the stepson of Li Xiquan, the leader of the white flag of the Jin people, and since then he has changed his surname to Li, since he has the coat of a fake Tartar, he has since begun to soar, and has successively done the Changlu Yun Judgment, the Anqing Prefect, and the two Huai Salt Envoys, Later, because his wife became Kangxi's nurse, his son Li Xu became Kangxi's companion and soared into the sky, from the prefect to the Taoist, from the Taoist to the political envoy and governor, and the daughter also married Cao Yin as his wife (it is said to be Cao Xueqin's maternal grandmother), and became a senior figure in the eyes of those who wanted to be slaves but could not. "There are not many people who dare to go out of Hong Kong without permission now, and they are as careful as ghosts, if you ask them for money again, I am afraid it will backfire."
"So, this road doesn't work, does it?" Chen Shenwu frowned, he thought about it, maybe he could fight the idea of the underground door, but it was not the same line as Brother Wei Ying, so he wouldn't tell the other party the truth, just said. "I'll contact Taiwan again, and the money matter will be resolved after all."
