Meetings are a profound science.

A temporary imperial meeting was unusually lengthy at the mercy of Hongyi with ulterior motives, and the whole afternoon and half a night on the day of the Double Ninth Festival were scattered. In fact, this is not Hongyi's original intention.

At the beginning, this meeting was to study the matter of Korean merchants and smuggling horses, but as the discussion deepened, Hongyi suddenly realized that such a formal "imperial meeting" that was not as formal as "listening to the government at the imperial gate" could better play its own unique role.

If you take this opportunity, together with the emperor and important ministers, to "stew in a pot" and expound your increasingly mature political views, you can brainwash the participants in the process of ideological confrontation and theoretical contention, or at least open their eyes, so that they can have some contact with Hongyi's unheard of "unconventional" ideas. In this way, letting these people "lead the face with a point" will inevitably slowly affect a group of people.

This kind of royal meeting, which is somewhat of a "briefing" nature, Hongyi thought that it was needed before he ascended the throne. If you don't do this, wait until you become the emperor, and then pull out those "novel ideas", and you will inevitably become the target of everyone!

Especially for a "young" new emperor, as soon as he came to power, the first thing was stability, not innovation! If you do the opposite, you will take the throne in a drastic way, similar to the "revolution of the mind", and if you do not have a large number of supporters who understand it, the result will inevitably be "revolutionized"! After all, the Kangxi Dynasty was still the early Qing Dynasty, Manchuria was conservative, and the Han people were rigid. Even Western religious sects, all three aspects have intricate entanglements of interests, but they still stay on the 5,000-year-old stubbornness of Chinese civilization.

But the Shunzhi Dynasty has its own unique advantages, that is, the founding dynasty that reached the Central Plains! At this time, the Manchu ruling clique had to face the impact of various advanced cultures of the Han and Westerners, and was still in the stage of ignorance and comprehensive absorption, which naturally formed an eclectic and fresh wind. This is evidenced by the reuse of missionaries from the West. Of course, they will also be very stubborn and ferocious about things that have violated their inherent traditional customs, such as shaving their hair and changing clothes, riding a bow and archery, and so on. Based on this. As long as Hongyi puts all kinds of novel ideas "Togu reform" or "in one sentence". There is still a big market.

Another point is that the Shunzhi Emperor Fulin has his own unique growth process, which can also be used by Hongyi - Fulin fell out of favor at a young age, like fostering in the hands of a group of Han eunuchs and palace maids. It is easy to accept the influence of Han culture; The regent is autocratic. After being pro-government, he must be full of desire for absolute power. As long as Hongyi's views helped to consolidate his rule and enhance his prestige, they were relatively easy to adopt; If the queen mother and the emperor are not in harmony, they will compete with the prince and the prince. This is again one of Hony Yi's advantages; He had close contacts with John Tang and other Westerners, and had some understanding of Western civilization, so that he had a certain basis for understanding some modern Western theories in later generations...... The most important thing is that Fulin's stubbornness and self-use determine that as long as Hongyi can convince the emperor, the implementation of the great policy will have a certain guarantee!

Perhaps, soon after today's Imperial Council, I will be temporarily away from the center of this power. In this case, why not go all out and instill in this old and young and seventeen "delegates" - Hongyi sorted out his thoughts and continued:

"Huang Ama, what the son of the minister said 'to prevent his accounts from being unclear and filling his own pockets', supplemented by the layout of the base, if this method is feasible, it will be of great benefit."

"Well, it works!" Fulin agrees.

"Xie Huang Ama! In this way, the two naval bases in Taipei and Ryukyu, plus a berthing and supply place in Busan, North Korea, and every foothold of the fleet of King An on the sea will be under the control of the imperial decree, and the naval division will be completely controlled by the emperor. As long as the admiral of the sailors is rotated regularly, and King Tong'an is only the prime minister of the merchant navy and the commander of the wartime, even if he really has the intention to disobey one day, he will not be able to do it! This is the second defense that Erchen said, to prevent it from sitting big. ”

The "son" Hongyi rashly arranged the official title and functions of King Tong'an for the emperor, but he was full of confidence in successfully getting the approval of Fulin's "Lao Tzu"! Sure enough, the emperor also agreed with this arrangement.

"Prime Minister of the Merchant Navy, and Wartime Commander of the Territorial Naval Division? haha, a prime minister and a commander, the official title of King Tong'an is not small, now he can return to his hometown! Everyone followed the emperor's ridicule, and as soon as they relieved their nervous feelings about the Ryukyu incident, the atmosphere finally became lively.

"But the magic is in a 'wartime'! The two armies are fighting, and King Tong'an commands the whole army, and he can also let the 'Admiral of the Sailor', who is upright and obedient, observe the arts! However, as soon as the war is over, the Admiral of the Navy is still the Admiral of the Navy, and King Tong'an is only the Prime Minister of the Merchant Marine! Good! Quasi-play! Fold Kunne, write it down, and make an order on a certain day. "The blessing is still unfinished.

"Huh!" The Bachelor was more interested, and his tone was a little excited.

"Xuan Ye, you just said that there are three defenses. What is this third defense? Aren't these two defenses enough? ”

Fulin was not carried away by joy and was unusually sober and clear. At the beginning of his Qing Dynasty, he remembered that his second son Xuan Ye Shicai said that Zheng Zhilong, the king of Tong'an, wanted to "use four uses, three suspicions and three defenses", it seems that the "two defenses" in the three defenses alone are enough, enough to cover the bottom! But the more this is the case, the more the young Fulin looks forward to this third defense!

As soon as these words came out, everyone quieted down, acting as curious as the emperor.

If we follow the basic routine of China's 5,000-year-old "monarch and minister secret fight", with the aforementioned "two defenses", it is actually almost the same-

First, to prevent Zheng Zhilong's accounts from being unclear and filling his pockets, he set up an "auditor" system of three officials in the household department, which cut off his way to make a windfall. Chaos at sea is different from on land: the displaced people lose their land and rise up, they don't need too many material preparations, a pole can be a weapon, and they can fight to the death with the officials and soldiers by relying on the strength of the people. But to be a pirate, shipbuilding is a big thing, and recruiting sailors and paying them well is even bigger! Only in this way can a combat army be formed! This is a lot of material reserves and talent recruitment projects! And this big project cannot be done without "huge money". Back then, Zheng Zhilong hacked Li Dan's 10,000 taels of gold. only then did they pull up their own team. Now the imperial court wants to check his current accounts - there is still a way to go, and the windfall is no more!

The second prevention is to cover the sky with one hand and the tail is too big to fall, and set up a naval base and a liaison officer of the imperial court, which is to prevent it from meddling in the armed liliang on the water! Zheng Zhilong only has full authority to manage maritime trade, and the escort duty is his own naval commander. Once the Marine Police were raised, Zheng Zhilong could temporarily take over the command of the battle. In this way, if he wants to survive the naval battle, he must personally train the sailors of the Qing Dynasty on weekdays. Fortunately, the imperial court has to rotate this naval commander regularly, so Zheng Zhilong, the chief coach in peacetime and the commander-in-chief in wartime, will be very busy and tired...... In fact, Hongyi still has an idea, those who have been rotated and are more successful in the admiral can be of great use! After all. The Great Qing Water Division should become the Great Qing Navy as soon as possible. How is it enough to have a Southeast Water Division[1]?

If we add the general strategies of the "leaders" who were quite scheming, well-read poetry, and proficient in Chinese at that time, such as "traditional projects" such as protons entering Beijing, inserting eyeliner all over the place, and dividing party henchmen, the prevention of Zheng Zhilong can be described as "seamless".

However, Hongyi still has zuihou. It is also the most important defense!

"Huang Ama. The above two defenses are as smooth as possible. Erchen expected that King Tong'an might not be able to make waves. However, the premise is that he can always engrave his oath of 'never rebelling' in his heart. At the critical moment, Hongyi wants to use this oath to tie up the blessing of "reborn father".

"Well, I'm still convinced of that!"

It's hard to say anything about the blessings. After all. At this time almost a year ago, in September of the eleventh year of Shunzhi, he half-believed and listened to the plan of Xuanye, a fart child who was only half a year old, and sacrificed to Chongzhen and the dead Ming, and also went south to Fujian, and Zheng Zhilong, the king of Tong'an, who flew to the sky and flew to the sky, jointly staged a big drama of "eighteen send-offs" and "brothers and sisters of monarchs and ministers" outside the Daqing Gate, especially according to the instructions of the little guy, that is, he stood on the side of the road and stared at the slowly moving team and did not leave, and sent someone to pass the legend "Brother Wang can return (rebellion)!" Zheng Zhilong really cried and worshiped under the horse, swore blood, and said, "The minister is here, never return, Yongzhen Taiwan is the gateway to the southeast of my Qing Dynasty!" Soon, Zheng Sen really surrendered obediently!

A year has passed. This year, because of the return of the Zheng clan in the southeast, the situation in the south, which was originally overstretched, turned around, and the small regime of Yongli in the Southern Ming Dynasty lost Zheng Sen, an Austrian aid, and life became more and more tight! The complete recovery of the southwestern frontier is also just around the corner.

In the past year, I have only heard that the Zheng family is under the custody of Fujian, and the place is stable, and the governance is also in good order, but I have not heard of any abnormal tendencies. What's more, not long after King Tong'an entered Fujian, his other two sons, Zheng Du and Zheng Meng, also returned to Beijing as agreed and continued to be their guards.

Not only that, King Tong'an also changed the names of his sons: the eldest son "King Haicheng" Zheng Sen (Zheng Chenggong) as "Zheng Shisen"; the second son Zheng Du as "Zheng Shizhong"; The third son, Zheng En, became "Zheng Shien" and stayed by Fujian's side; the fourth son, Zheng Yin, as "Zheng Shiyin"; The fifth son, Zheng Xi, was "Zheng hereditary" and also stayed in Fujian; The sixth son, Zheng Mo, was originally in Beijing [2]. As a result, Zheng has a father and six sons, three sons were left in Beijing to be "hostage", and the remaining four were stationed in Fujian, and the general distribution of sons was half and half in Beijing and Fujian.

These are all off-topic, after Fulin said that he still trusts Zheng Zhilong 100%, he is waiting for Xiao Xuanye to give him some "surprise".

And this big "surprise", or "fright", is Zheng Zhilong's old son - Zheng Chenggong, the king of Haicheng!

[1] On the topic of the sailor's growth into the navy as soon as possible, thanks to @Prince Charming, as long as the virgin brothers and I are like-minded!

[2] Except for Zheng Sen, Zheng Zhilong's six sons did become the "world" generation, and the changed names are also seen in the "Qing History Manuscript". Only Zheng Chenggong has not changed it, and how to change it is unknown. It is estimated that the father and son fell out in the official history, and Zheng Zhilong changed it for him, but people did not accept it. According to the law of changing the names of the other four sons, Hongyi subjectively assumed that it was "Zheng Shisen", I don't know if there is such a coincidence in the official history? If you know, please don't hesitate to give advice! (To be continued......)

PS: Recently, the tasks of the unit are relatively heavy, and yesterday a close relative elder suffered a catastrophe, it is estimated that the past two days are either overtime in the unit to prepare for the meeting, or pray outside the hospital ICU, so I have not calmed down to code words, may occasionally break off, please forgive me.

I'm sorry!
