"Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green. The evening breeze blows the willow flute, and the sunset is outside the mountain. The end of the sky, the corner of the earth, the acquaintance is half scattered. A scoop of turbid wine is all over the place, don't dream cold tonight"

The sweet and melancholy singing, accompanied by melodious tunes, makes people's eyes sour and their hearts extremely sad.

Outside the window, it was snow-capped and slaughtered. Several men in civilian clothes were sitting in the flower hall of a mansion, with solemn faces, quietly listening to a plump and bewitching beauty stroking the piano and singing in the hall. All of them looked sad and intoxicated, and the fragrance of tea fluttered faintly in the flower hall at the same time.

The woman who is singing and stroking the piano is Yang Xiaohuan's sister-in-law Yang Xiaomi, her age and Xiaohuan are similar, and her figure is almost carved out of a mold, and at a glance, you know that it is produced by the Yang family's N Zifu!

Although her appearance is not necessarily better than Yang Xiaohuan, and she does not have Wu Xiaosu's beauty of turning all kinds of beauties into green leaves, she has a very attractive "sweetness".

Such a beauty, coupled with Li Shutong's "Farewell", can really melt people's hearts

Just when everyone was intoxicated, the singing and piano stopped abruptly, and the beauty's expression was faint, and she nodded lightly.

The house where Yang Xiaomi stroked the qin and sang was the outer house that Yuwang Fuquan gave her, located in the Shangtoutiao Hutong outside Chongwen Gate, and it was not far from Fuquan's palace. During this time, Fuquan often set up wine and banquets in the house in Shangtoutiao Hutong, and ate and drank with a group of fox friends and dog friends, but it was the first time that Yang Xiaomi came forward to sing the piano in person.

And those who are eligible to enjoy this "special courtesy" are, of course, Fuquan's "beloved relatives and friends". The fifth elder brother Chang Ning, the former minister Guanyin Bao, the sticky rod chief Wang Zhongxiao and Cao Yin, as well as Yang Xiaomi's brother Yang Qilong, as well as Zhang Xiaobao and Guo Jinbao, the two big coats of Fuquan. Oh, there is another character who is not so close to Fuquan, that is, the military department Shangshu, the pearl of the university scholar.

Mingzhu was originally in charge of the Criminal Department, but after returning to Beijing yesterday, he transferred to the Ministry of War, considering that it is a strategy to use soldiers at the moment, this is also a great use.

And this military secretary went to the prince's mansion to drink and listen to music, which is really a bit out of character! Originally, Mingzhu would not come, but when he reported in detail to Kangxi in the south study today on the process of capturing and killing the third prince of Zhu in Suzhou, Kangxi opened Jinkou and asked him to go this way, or Fuquan had something to ask the emperor for advice, of course Mingzhu did not dare not listen. But he didn't want to stay in Fuquan for too long, so as not to let the imperial historians know about it and participate in a book in the future.

So Mingzhu listened to Yang Xiaomi's singing, and then glanced at Wang Zhongxiao, a good student who was still looking at Yang Damei with fascination, and saw that the other party had no reaction, so he had to cough.

Wang Zhongxiao reacted at this time, and then found that Yang Xiaomi was also looking at him, and the eyes of the two collided, and quickly separated.

Wang Zhongxiao came back to his senses before he said to Mingzhu: "Teacher, you see that the student's wife and sister and the prince are together because they are in love, which is a good thing. But the rule that the flag people don't marry is blocked there, and it is a little difficult for the prince to get a name for the student's wife and sister. ”

"What's so hard about that?" Mingzhu said with a smile, "The prince only needs to ask the emperor for a favor and raise a flag for the Yang family, right?" ”

Yang Qilong shook his head with a smile and said, "Ming Zhongtang, the lower officials are going to enter the banner, but it is inconvenient to help the prince run the Credit Suixin Hall." ”

Mingzhu was right when she thought about it, Credit Suisse Tang helped Fuquan to accept bribes legally, and at the same time, he also wanted to lend usury. There are some shady things in it. If Yang Qilong is not in the flag, it is a chess piece that can be discarded at any time, and if he wants to enter the flag, it will not be easy to do.

In addition, he wants to enter the assistant leader under the control of Fuquan, so he will have to take care of those things Fuquan has to do.

If Yang Qilong is under the direct management of the emperor, then he is the emperor's minion. His sisters-in-law are all emperors, no, they should be "princes"! They all have to go to the Eight Banners draft, how can so many princes divide it? Don't say that Fuquan is not happy about this, Kangxi and Wang Zhongxiao will not be happy!

"What does the prince mean," Mingzhu inquired again.

"The prince wants Xiao Mi to be another Nalan. Teacher, do you think this is okay? Wang Zhongxiao asked with a smile.

"What?" Mingzhu was taken aback by Wang Zhongxiao's proposal, "Another Nalan? That's not. Your wife will be misunderstood! ”

Although Nalan is a homonym for Nala, not all of them will be written as Nalan, only Nalan Mingzhu is written like this. So if Xiaomi becomes another Nalan and is called Nalan Xiaomi, then she won't become the illegitimate daughter of Nalan Mingzhu!

If this is for Mingzhu's wife's Wu Linzhu to know, then Mingzhu can't get by?

"Or maybe it's your niece, teacher." Wang Zhongxiao made another suggestion.

"No, no," Nalan Mingzhu still shook his head, "There are few people in my family and they are all relatives of the emperor, so it's not easy to arrange!" ”

Nalan Mingzhu's ancestor is the chief of the Haixi Jurchen Yehebu, the descendant of the Yehenara clan, and the Jianzhou Jurchen Aixin Jueluo fell in love and killed each other for many years - although Mingzhu's grandfather, the last Belle Jintaiji of the Yehebu, was killed by Nurhachi, but Jintaiji's sister-in-law also married Nurhachi and gave birth to Huang Taiji. Therefore, although Nalan Mingzhu and his family were beaten into the Zhenghuang Banner coat, they were first-class royal relatives.

If Xiao Mi is Nalan Mingzhu's niece, then what status will she have in Yuwang Mansion in the future? Sooner or later, you can't mix a side Fujin? So that the families of those wives can be happy?

However, Nalan Mingzhu still has to find a way to help Yang Xiaomi get an identity, because that's what Kangxi meant!

Kangxi most likely wants to explore the way, and he will do it in the future!

"Yes, there is" Nalan Mingzhu pondered for a while, and there was already a rut, "Lord Wang, why don't I arrange for your outer house to be another person under the leadership of the Blue Banner Dehe Nashi Guan Zuo." This person under the leadership of the Dehene Shizo is also Yehnara, and I am their elder in terms of seniority, and I can speak. And there are a lot of them, and they are quite miscellaneous, among which there are many accounts and other accounts, and one more is nothing. ”

Yehnara with a blue flag? Isn't that Galeries Lafayette's house?

Wang Zhongxiao hurriedly looked at Yang Xiaomi again, and found that this little goblin was also looking at himself, this charming eye was lost, and he lost his soul when he looked at it!

"Okay," Fuquan was also looking at Yang Xiaomi, but he felt that Xiao Mi was throwing flattering eyes at him, "The blue flag will be set with the blue flag, and in two days I will go to the house of Prince Jian, the owner of the blue flag, to have a banquet, just looking for an opportunity to talk to the new prince Rabu." ”

Rabu is the elder brother of Desai, who died of smallpox not long ago, Desai is a concubine, he is a concubine, and they are all the previous Prince Jian Jidu (also died of smallpox, this thing is still inherited?) His brother had no son, so the prince belonged to him.

"Lord Wang, there are a lot of people who know Xiao Mi outside," Yang Qilong interjected again, "Why don't you change her name and enter the flag again." ”

"Okay, what's the name?"

Wang Zhongxiao blurted out: "It's called Lan'er, Yehenara. Lan'er. ”

"Lan'er?" Fuquan asked, "Does it sound good?" ”

Yang Xiaomi covered her mouth and smiled: "It's good, it's good, the slave family will be called Lan'er in the future." ”

It is now the spring of the tenth year of Kangxi, but the spring is not warm, the flowers have not bloomed, and there is still a snowy patch outside Beijing.

The sound of horses' hooves came, and then the cavalry of the brigade walked south on the open official road, walking in the middle of the team, surrounded by a group of cavalrymen in yellow coats, were three teenagers wearing blue satin cotton robes and mink-trimmed warm hats, all of whom looked very thin and small, like children.

One of them still has a domineering pockmark, of course, it is Kang Mazi, the world's first pockmark!

And with this Kang Mazi, there are his two good brothers, Prince Yu Fuquan and Chang Ning, who just crowned Prince Gong after the New Year-"Lan'er" has it, how can there be no Prince Gong?

Now "Datou", "Shikai", "Zhongshan", "Lan'er", "Prince Gong", as well as "Xiuquan" and "Xiuqing" (these two have not yet been born) are almost complete, this time the Qing Dynasty is finally over, right?

Wang Zhongxiao was thinking about when the two big-bellied ladies in the family would give birth, when he suddenly heard a "boom" in his ears, as if there was thunder somewhere. He hurriedly retracted his mind and looked up at the sky, it was a sunny day, blue and watery, and he couldn't even see a cloud!

Wang Zhongxiao was feeling strange, and Uncle Fu Quanfu next to him had already laughed: "Big head, don't look at it, there is no thunder!" ”

"That's . Masturbate? Wang Zhongxiao reacted immediately, "Where can I shoot the cannon?" ”

"Boom!"

There were two more roars, and these two roars did not come out at the same time, but sounded one after the other, with an interval of twenty or thirty seconds, and the first roar was relatively light, and the first roar was louder.

It's clear that it's a cannon firing flowering shells!

Wang Zhongxiao suddenly thought of something, and his face was a little ugly.

At this time, Uncle Fu smiled again: "I guessed for you, this is the craftsmen of the Yangxin Palace Office under the leadership of Master Qintianjian Nan to test fire the newly cast Weiyuan General Cannon!" ”

Wang Zhongxiao chuckled in his heart, knowing that it was broken, Kangxi had already begun to build artillery.

This Kang Mazi is going to become a Kang cannon in advance!

Kangxi in history actually attached great importance to firearms!

It's just that Kangxi attaches great importance to the "Eight Banners Firearms", which are firearms specially used by the Eight Banners, but at the same time restricts the firearms of the Green Battalion.

The Yangxin Palace Office is a yamen under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs that specializes in the manufacture of palace utensils and weapons, which existed in the Shunzhi period, but it was really carried forward in the Kangxi period.

Kangxi, the "holy monarch", is saintly or not in managing the country, but one thing is certain, that is, this little pockmark is very smart, he is an engineering tyrant, and he will personally manage a small workshop to make guns and cannons!

In addition, Kangxi also paid attention to the introduction of foreign advanced technology for casting artillery, and the master of Qin Tianjian Nan Huairen Nan was the "foreign master" who helped Kangxi make guns and cannons.

Therefore, under the personal supervision of Kangxi, a lot of advanced Western technology was introduced, and the office of the Yangxin Palace ushered in the heyday during the Kangxi period.

At the same time, the Eight Banners soldiers, who are equipped with a large number of firearms made in the "manufacturing office", are still somewhat capable of fighting!

Although the hand-to-hand combat of these Eight Banners soldiers has declined, under the personal teaching of Kang Mazi, it is still possible to put a snatch and fight cannon.

Wang Zhongxiao originally thought that Kang Mazi would have to pay attention to muskets and artillery and the construction office of the Heart Cultivation Hall in a few years, but he didn't expect him to start it so early.

At this time, Fuquan said again: "In this battle of Suzhou, we have suffered a big loss from the enemy's artillery!" If it weren't for the dozens of cannons that the thieves somehow brought into Suzhou that could open the flower shells, Suzhou City would not have lost most of it!

So after the emperor got the report from Duolong, Mu Tianyan and you, he immediately went to find Master Nan. Master Nan said that those cannons were a kind of short-barreled curved guns, which were specially opened for flower shells, and it was very likely that they were sample cannons from the West, and they were cast by Wu Sangui's craftsmen, so the emperor asked Master Nan to help cast some of them.

This cannon is not difficult to cast, and it was done a few years ago. After the New Year, I began to test the artillery, and the emperor knew that I had encountered the anti-thief curved gun in Suzhou, so I will take you to see if it is our Weiyuan general cannon or the anti-thief cannon is powerful! ”

Broken!

Wang Zhongxiao said: Those faint officials who scribbled and exaggerated the enemy's situation are crooked this time, maybe they will pit Wu Sangui!

Although he thought so in his heart, he still had to pat himself on his lips, "It's still the emperor's sage!" At that time, the minion saw that the anti-thief's flowering shells were shot one after another, and he thought about using a spear to shoot the cannon down! ”

"Poof!" Kangxi, who didn't talk much along the way, was amused by Wang Zhongxiao's words, "Can your spear shoot down the cannon?" Do you know how powerful that cannon is? By the way, when you were studying in Yunnan Domain, didn't the gentleman sent by Wu Sangui teach you how to shoot cannons? ”

"Taught, of course taught!" Wang Zhongxiao thought for a while and said, "Wu Sangui's artillery is still very powerful, there are many cannons, the big ones are four or five thousand catties, and the small ones are hundreds of catties, all of which are cast in bronze and of excellent quality."

However, when the minions were in Yunnan, they had never seen the kind of 'bantam cannons' that could let go of flower bombs. ”

He didn't say nonsense, and he couldn't say nonsense, because Kangxi still had a lot of eyeliner in Yungui, and Wu Sangui's cannon casting and cannon shooting couldn't be hidden from Kangxi. Moreover, Wu Sangui did not learn to cast cannons until he arrived in Yunnan, in fact, as early as when Wu Sangui was a general soldier in Liaodong, he cast a lot of high-quality copper cannons, some of which were also passed on to later generations and entered the museum.

In addition, Wu Sangui also cast a large number of artillery during and before the uprising of the three feudatories in history, some of which were hidden in Yuezhou, and were later discovered by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which became their weapon to defeat Wuhan and break Jiangning!

These cannons are still sharp after being hidden for more than a hundred years, and they can also reflect how strong Wu Sangui's Pingxi Domain is in casting cannons.

Of course, Kangxi is not bad in this regard. Otherwise, the historical rebellion of the three feudatories would have been successful!

Kangxi's numb face is also a little heavy, although this time he can be said to be victorious, and it can be said that he has an overwhelming advantage over the Pingxi Domain, but those advantages are all in the general trend, no matter how good the general trend is, the final victory must be fought on the battlefield!

And although Wu Yingqi and Ao Bai, the two trapped beasts, are in a difficult situation, they still have the strength to fight. If the imperial army's army can't break their trapped beast fight, then no matter how good the situation is, it may be reversed!

Even if it is a corner of the country, it is not impossible to win!

Didn't the Qing Dynasty (Dajin) at that time rely on victory after victory to change from a corner to the whole country?

Kangxi was thinking about how to strangle Wu Yingqi and Ao Bai step by step, and did not speak again.

And Wang Zhongxiao listened to the roar of the artillery that was getting closer and closer, and his heart began to go up and down. In the battle of the three feudatories that is about to start, if Wu Sangui can't win the first battle and then sweep Sichuan and Shaanxi in one fell swoop, Kangxi's chances of winning are still quite big

The thoughts of the two men were soon interrupted by the sound of a cannon to welcome the distinguished guests.

Wang Zhongxiao looked up and found that he had arrived outside Gongji City.

Gongji City is the later Wanping City, but the current Wanping County Ya is still placed in the city of Beijing, Gongji City is still an Acropolis of Gongwei Beijing, there are only barracks and yamen in the city, there are no dwellings. Because there is a Fengtai town nearby, after the Yamen, the president of the Eight Banners New Army, was stationed, Gongji City was called Fengtai Camp.

However, after all, Gongji City is still a little far away from the inner city of Beijing, and it is not easy for the Eight Banners soldiers who are on an errand here in Fengtai Camp to go home, so Kangxi divided the Three Towns and Eight Banners New Army into three shifts, each class is ten, and the camp is trained, and the remaining two classes go home to accompany their wives and children.

Therefore, there are actually only eight banner soldiers in one town who are lining up outside the Fengtai camp to welcome Kangxi's arrival today.

Although there is only one town, it is also tens of thousands of elite soldiers, wearing eight-color cotton armor such as yellow, yellow, white, white, red, red, blue, and blue, or riding horses in formation, or standing with instruments on their shoulders, and setting up sixteen phalanxes with "staff leaders" as a unit. Among them, the proportion of shotguns in the infantry team is quite a lot, at least fifty percent! Even the cavalrymen on horseback had some shotguns on their backs!

And before each phalanx, a variety of artillery pieces were laid out.

Among them, there is a long Furlong cannon with a barrel, and the Qing army said that this kind of cannon is called a mother and son cannon, which is the exclusive firearm of the Eight Banners, and the green battalion can only be equipped in violation of regulations.

There is also a mortar with a very short barrel - it should be the Weiyuan General Cannon that was test-fired just now! This kind of Weiyuan general cannon looks much thicker than the mortar cannon that Wang Zhongxiao asked him to privately cast in the small station, and the projectile fired is afraid that it will cost twenty or thirty catties!

Finally, of course, the red-coated cannon carried by a very stout two-wheeled gun cart is indispensable - this cannon looks like it weighs almost two or three thousand catties, and the weight of the bullet will not be less than ten catties, although it is inconvenient to move, but the power should not be underestimated!

All kinds of artillery combined, there are always as many as seventy or eighty guns!

The New Army of the Eight Banners, which is only 10,000 people, actually has so many artillery pieces and muskets. Not to mention this firepower in East Asia, I am afraid that it can be regarded as first-class if it is pulled to Europe!

This Eight Banners New Army is a bit unexpected!

Recommend my new work "I Really Don't Do My Business"

On the nineteenth day of the first month of the first year of Wanli, Zhu Yijun, the emperor of Wanli, looked at the iron triangle in front of him.

The first ally is quite kind-looking, she is the queen mother of the Ming Dynasty.

The second ally was just a eunuch, and his duty was to kowtow.

The third ally is a powerful minister, who seems to be domineering.

Finally everyone looked at me and asked me what my role was:

I looked at my identity and said, I am:

The Great Emperor who does not do his job
