Chapter 456: Kangxi's second step

When Brother Jiu came over, Kangxi's mood was still a little low.

"Lao Jiu, you are not in Hubu and Wenyuan Pavilion at this time, what are you doing here?"

Brother Jiu stubbornly said: "Khan Amma, now is the time when the beast is the fattest, this year's Nanyuan hunting, when is Khan Ama going to go?" ”

Kangxi thought about riding horses and shooting arrows to hunt wild beasts in previous years, but the Western barbarians in "Modern Chinese History" were riding iron boats and carrying guns and cannons to hunt the people of the Qing Dynasty......

This made Kangxi feel very uncomfortable.

Is it true that the archery and horse skills that the ancestors relied on to lay down the country have really been abandoned?

"Khan Amma? Khan Amma? ”

It was the first time for Brother Jiu to see Kangxi wandering, and he couldn't help but have some strange feelings in his heart.

Kangxi came back to his senses and said: "This year's autumn hunt should indeed be prepared, and I am ready to let everyone give up archery and hunt with muskets this year." What do you think? ”

"Muskets? Isn't this a weapon that we strictly prohibit and are not allowed to use privately? ”

In fact, when the rulers of the Qing Dynasty competed with the Ming Dynasty for the world, they had already seen the power of thermal weapons, and because of this, after the Qing Dynasty won the country, it was strictly forbidden for the people to possess thermal weapons, and they regarded artillery and muskets very strictly.

The rulers of the Qing Dynasty believed that as long as the people did not have weapons of great destruction, they could not resist their rule.

However, after reading "Modern Chinese History", Kangxi understood that the enemies of the Qing Dynasty were not only those who opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, but also those abroad who coveted the rich Central Plains!

Since strictly prohibiting civilian contact with thermal weapons will inevitably destroy the country, it is better to expand the scope of possession of thermal weapons, increase investment in research of thermal weapons and the training of musketeers, so that the Qing Dynasty can catch up with the development speed of Westerners and have a place in the future when the world is colonized!

Yes, Kangxi has already seen the cake of the world's great colonization more than a hundred years later.

Kangxi is an ambitious and power-hungry person, he can't even allow the auxiliary minister to climb on his head and be arrogant, and he can't tolerate the Westerners who are just Yidi in his eyes, and occupy the country of Aixinjue Luo!

Kangxi said sonorously: "The art of bows and arrows will eventually be eliminated by firearms, and if the Qing Dynasty wants to stand on top of the world all the time, it must have powerful weapons that can dominate the world!" It is imperative to popularize firearms throughout the Qing Dynasty! ”

Kangxi is ready to start with this autumn hunt and let everyone know his determination!

Brother Jiu didn't know at this time that the powerful Qing Dynasty that he thought was actually going downhill in the world, so he didn't have the same consciousness as Kangxi.

But that didn't stop him from knowing that this was an opportunity!

Brother Jiu hurriedly said: "Khan Ama, I used to hunt with bows and arrows, but if I want to use firearms this time, the preliminary preparations should be very different from before." Khan Amma, Erchen invited himself to Nanyuan to prepare for the autumn hunt. The retainers were not familiar with the affairs of the army, and asked Khan Amma to appoint a brother or courtier to take charge. ”

Brother Jiu clearly told Kangxi that he was only responsible for logistics affairs, and he would not touch the affairs of the army.

Kangxi was quite satisfied with his performance, he nodded and said: "Then the logistics preparations will be handed over to you, and the military affairs will be ...... Let your Uncle Yu Wang be responsible. ”
