Chapter 282: Two Elder Brothers

After Zhang Yuxiang was ordered to go to Fengtian to take over as General Shengjing, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen and the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang also began to set off for Anhui, and there was another person with them, that is, the new Sichuan Governor Yu Zhong. Originally, there should be a Feiyanggu who was traveling with him, but Kangxi Nian was not in good health in Feiyanggu, so he left him to recuperate in Jiangnan for a while longer, so Yu Zhong had to go on the road alone with the two princes.

Before they left, Kangxi issued a more meaningful holy decree: starting from Jiangsu Province, try to mint silver coins, if the circulation of silver coins is feasible, then clean up the deficit and obtain silver taels, which will be used to mint silver coins. All the trial matters were handed over to Ma De, the governor of Jiangnan, and the household department was not allowed to intervene.

At this time, it was less than two months since Ma De's last request for silver coins to be minted to change the current monetary system, and Kangxi so quickly changed from not allowing it to take the initiative to send a mission. is responsible for minting coins, and the household department is not in charge, as long as you have a little knowledge, you should be able to understand how Ma De is valued by Kangxi. Therefore, Kangxi's holy decree also reduced many obstacles for Ma De to manage Jiangsu.

And in addition to this, there is also a message from the north and the south. The news from the north came from Beijing: Under the "strong request" of the civil and military officials, in order to show his "determination" to clean up the deficit, the crown prince Yinren had to send his two attendants, Zhu Tianbao and Chen Jiayou, to the household department, and waited for the eldest elder brother Yinzhen and the eighth elder brother Yinzhen to send them to clean up the deficit of the treasury together. And after receiving the "support" of the prince, Yinchu and Yinxu also quickly cleared their debts, stationed in the household department, and officially began to clean up the deficit, and the first object they cleaned up was the officials of the household headquarters. As for the news from the south, it came from the Taiwan Prefecture of Fujian Province: Taiwan's commander-in-chief, Nian Qianyao, received a report from the King of the Ryukyus, saying that there was another invasion by the Japanese invaders, and Nian Qianyao led his troops to leave Taiwan and go to help. However, after Qianyao left Taiwan, there were clashes between Diao Min and Yunding stationed in Taiwan, and as many as 100 people were killed or wounded. This matter involves a number of major clans and several familiar tribes in Taiwan. Dai Duo, the prefect of Taiwan, sent troops to arrest the leaders of the troublemakers on both sides, but the officials sent out were killed, and Dai Duo also found out that there were also unscrupulous people who took the opportunity to confuse the public, causing turmoil among the people in Tainan and other places. Because he was afraid that there would be another riot against the Diao people, in desperation, Dai Duo had to send people to appease him, and on the other hand, he sent a clipper to the sea to chase Nian Qianyao and ask him to bring his troops back to Taiwan......

……

"Hey, Nian Qianyao!" Yu Zhong stood on the side of the ship, thinking about the news he heard not long ago, and couldn't help but sneer twice. After Lan Li got the news that Dai Duo was sent to the camp, he immediately resigned to Kangxi and returned to the south, Kangxi also knew that the matter was a little urgent, although he also knew that it was unlikely, but he was still afraid that there would be another big riot when the court was unstable, so just in case I saw him, while returning to Lan Li, he also put Wan Zhengse and Shi Shiqi back, and ordered the two to pay attention at any time, if there is something in Taiwan, they must support immediately. However, Yu Zhong is well aware of Nian Qianyao's personality. With the character of that young general, how could such a situation occur? Therefore, there is only one possibility for Taiwan's emergency report, that is, Nian Qianyao wants to do it once and for all, and pick out all possible opposition forces at once and for all.

"Be ruthless to your enemies, but also to your own people...... You are the real cold-blooded murder king! Yu Zhong muttered. In fact, he did not object to Nian Qianyao doing this. Taiwan's public sentiments are complex and the centrifugal force is strong, and if we want to quickly stabilize the country, we must indeed use forceful means. It's just that trying to solve the problem just by relying on the word "kill" is really a bit like a dream. With a knife in one hand and sugar in the other, that's the solution. But thinking that Nian Qianyao might just be playing blackface, and there should be that Dai Duo to play in redface, he didn't worry too much.

"Uncle!"

Yu Zhong was thinking about it, but someone behind him suddenly said hello.

"It's Yinxiang!" Yu Zhong turned his head and looked at the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang walking over rubbing his eyes, slightly surprised, "What's wrong?" Could it be that you just slept again? ”

"It's not sleeping! I haven't finished the question that Aunt Xin left last time, so I was busy just now! Alas, when I get to Anqing, if I can't satisfy Aunt Xin, I have to be beaten! Yinxiang replied with a bitter face.

"Hehe, even so, you don't have to stay up until your eyes can't stand it. Even if your Aunt Xin dares to beat you, she won't dare to beat you so much that you can't get out of bed, right? It's over with two hits! Yu Zhong said with a smile. Luo Xin and Yinxiang have a very good relationship. According to Mo Jing, every time Luo Xin went to the capital to see Baori Longmei, Yinxiang had to stick to her. It is precisely because of this that Luo Xin also taught Yinxiang many things, and mathematics is one of them. However, this is also a bitter Yinxiang! It must be known that when they first arrived here, Luo Xin had just started working, that is, not long after graduating from college. So, some of the courses in the university, such as advanced mathematics and other things, still remember it more clearly. And this period has only been more than 20 years since Newton and another mathematician named Leibniz respectively founded calculus, that is to say, Rohsin's mathematical level can be called a "everyone" for a while! When Luo Xin inadvertently showed his level to Kangxi and Nan Huairen, Nan Huairen directly looked at Luo Xin in the way of looking up. It can be said that if it weren't for Luo Xin's woman, Kangxi might have directly appointed her as the prince's master. However, even so, Kangxi still intentionally or unintentionally sent his two sons, the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang and the fourteenth elder brother Yinyu, to Luo Xin to learn "arithmetic", and every year when Luo Xin entered Beijing, that is, she had to teach these two princes. It is precisely because of this that the two princes, who are the most honest among Kangxi's many sons, and who are not afraid of heaven and earth, are afraid of Luo Xin. The police's methods of gangsters are enough to let the two princes, who are less than a year apart, know how powerful their Aunt Xin is. And because of the relationship between Mo Jing and Luo Xin, Yu Zhong and Ma De also got the title of Yinxiang's "uncle", although it can only be in private, but this is already extraordinary.

"I'm afraid that Aunt Xin won't beat me! She has a lot of old people's means! Yinxiang listened to Yu Zhong's ridicule, still frowning, and walked over to learn from Yu Zhong lying on the railing next to the boat, looking extremely distressed.

"She's 'old'? Hehe, just based on your words, Luo Xin is afraid that he will have to clean you up! Yu Zhong said with a smile. Although he and Ma De haven't met Yinxiang many times, Yinxiang's temper is quite similar to him. Although he was born as a prince, he didn't have that feeling of superiority, and I don't know if Luo Xin was meritorious in teaching.

"So everybody's here." No sooner had the conversation begun than one of Yu's most unwanted people appeared. The fourth elder brother Yinzhen looked serious, and walked over slowly with his hands behind his back.

"Brother Four!" Yu Zhong and Yinxiang each shouted, and then stopped talking.

"I was very happy to hear Lord Yu and Yinxiang talk just now, I don't know what they are talking about?" Yin Zhen asked.

"What else could there be? I'm thinking about how to make a difference! Yinxiang couldn't help but sigh again. He wanted to see Luo Xin, but the level after meeting him was sad.

"Delivery?" Yinzhen shook his head, reached out and patted Yinxiang's head, "Since you know that it's not good to make a difference, why don't you finish the question?" You wait until the second half of the year to do the question every year, and you should have this report! ”

"Fourth brother, what's the use of you talking about this now? Besides, isn't the old fourteen the same as me? Yinxiang was not convinced.

"You are the same, but the fourteenth brother didn't follow south, if you don't want to be unlucky, then you can only do the question obediently!" Yin Zhen smiled. Yinxiang didn't bother him a lot this way, and now it's rare that this kid has something to do, how can he not say a few more words?

"Hmph. I'm not afraid! I have the emperor's order to help the fourth brother you check the treasury of the Anhui domain. So, even if it's not done, don't be afraid! Yinxiang was still a little depressed, but now he suddenly thought of such a loose hoop spell, and immediately laughed proudly.

"If you think you can use the Emperor's Order, you might as well try it!" Yu Zhong couldn't help but laugh.

"This ......" Yinxiang was a little excited just now and was "ruthlessly" smashed back to the bottom by Yu Zhong's words, since Luo Xin dared to beat him, naturally he would not be afraid of any imperial order, besides, even if he took out the identity of the emperor's order, who would really admit it? So, he had to sigh again and go back to his cabin to do the problem.

"This old thirteen...... Let Yu Junmen smile! Seeing Yinxiang leaving, Yinzhen hugged his fist to Yu Zhong and said.

"Nothing! I'm still a kid! Yu Zhong smiled. When he saw Yinzhen coming, he didn't want Yinxiang to stay on the side. He looked at Yinzhen's eyes and knew that this fourth elder brother probably had something to say to him. In his mind, this is a wolf. If possible, when he arrived in Anqing, he would rather let Luo Xin leave Yinxiang behind than let the thirteenth elder brother follow the fourth elder brother.

"The old thirteen is very active, and he is very close to Xingege, but what he admires most is the generals who can make contributions on the battlefield, just like General Fei Da and Yu Junmen!" Yin Zhen said again.

The fourth elder brother laughed. How can my little skill be compared to Feijunmen? But I've also heard that the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother are indeed the two best soldiers among the princes! Yu Zhong replied without a match.

"Yu Junmen doesn't have to be too humble. You have made great achievements in Manchuria, and now you have been transferred to Sichuan, and you will soon have another good news, and no one will be able to say anything bad at that time! Yin Zhen said again.

"Fourth elder brother, don't look down on me." Yu Zhong smiled, this fourth elder brother knew that it was the prince he was now attached to who was "saying" his "disgusting words", but he almost said it clearly here, and the article inside was probably a little unusual. However, Yu Zhong also knew why he dared to do this. Now that it is clear that the prince and his gang have a gap with Ma De and himself, Yinzhen picked out the words, and he was not afraid that the two of them would tell the prince and his gang to know.

Yin Zhen thinks that he has always looked at people and still has some vision. Yu Junmen has always done amazing things, and this time he will definitely be able to do another miracle. What's more, Sichuan is a place where military generals have made contributions, and Yu Junmen will definitely surprise people again soon! Yin Zhen said with a little flattery. It's rare to have the opportunity to walk with Yu Zhong, and he really wants to recruit Yu Zhong. In fact, he didn't believe Ma De's statement that "Anhui has no deficit" at all. Therefore, this time he was ordered to go to Anhui to check the treasury, in his opinion, he is now pinching Ma De's veins in his hands, and it is precisely because of this that he feels that Yu Zhong and Ma De should be afraid of him. At the very least, he thought that even if Yu Zhong wanted to be cautious when he saw him show this kind of solicitation, he should show a little closeness in order to let him go. It must be known that Nian Qianyao is his disciple, and from Nian Qianyao's mouth, he can certainly understand Yu Zhong's ability. Commanding a battle on the battlefield may not be possible in Yuzhong, but in terms of major strategic decisions, Yuzhong definitely has the first-class level of this era. It is precisely because of Nian Qianyao's comments that he did not think that Yu Zhong's several victories were just due to good luck like others. Besides, to be able to create a sailor with strong ships and strict military discipline is the ability!

The fourth elder brother's words Yu disagreed. In my opinion, Sichuan is not really useful. Although Yu Zhong didn't know that Yinzhen's mind was so twisted and turned, there was an instinctive resistance in his heart to this fourth elder brother who was very likely to become Emperor Yongzheng in the future. He doesn't like the kind of people who have a small belly and chicken intestines.

"As everyone knows, Sichuan is connected to Shaanxi and Gansu, Yunnan and Guizhou are connected to the west, and Qinghai and Tibet are connected to the west. Yu Junmen took the post of Admiral of Sichuan, although he may not use the army in the future, but he must send a lot of troops, how can he say that Sichuan is not a place to be used? Yin Zhen said strangely.

"It's all your own people, what's the point of fighting around? In fact, the reason why the conflicts between various ethnic groups in Sichuan are serious is that the various ethnic groups are forced too seriously, coupled with the terrain, the transportation is inconvenient, and the communication cannot be good, resulting in many misunderstandings...... It's funny to say. The Manchu people looked down on the Han people, and the Han people looked down on the people of other nationalities, and they looked down on them layer by layer, so naturally it was impossible to live in peace. However, officials in the past have always only thought of solving these matters by force, forgetting that the tribal peoples they attacked are actually their own people. In fact, the best way to resolve this kind of contradiction between oneself is not to use force, but to seek common ground while reserving differences and seeking common interests between each other. Yu Zhong said.

"Well said!" Yin Zhen clapped his hands violently, "Officials are corrupt and oppress the people. When something happens, he only knows how to protect his own people, but he doesn't ask the cause of the incident. Sichuan is indeed not a place for generals, because the two 'thieves' of corruption and perversion of the law are the source of the world's troubles. What Yu Junmen said, it really won my heart! ”

"Huh?" Yu Zhong didn't expect that this fourth elder brother would agree with his words so much, and he couldn't help but be stunned at first, but he immediately understood why Yinzhen said it. Who is this? Fourth elder brother Yinzhen. Although the prince had such and such shortcomings, after becoming the emperor in another time and space, he was almost opposed by the gentry of the whole world. However, I have to admit that he has a strong heart that he does not hesitate to be criticized by the world for the sake of the Qing Dynasty. For corrupt officials and corrupt officials, this fourth elder brother has never been soft. Moreover, when he became the emperor, he also implemented new policies such as "apportioning the land into the mu" and "returning the fire to the public", and transferred the extremely unfair tax of poll tax to the land. Some people even called him the emperor who "robbed the rich and helped the poor". However, no matter what his intentions were, what he did was indeed beneficial to the people to a certain extent, and for thousands of years, Yu Zhong had really never heard of a second such person.

"Unfortunately, what you're doing is only temporary. Moreover, your actions are only a short-term remedy, only to maintain the agricultural economy, and not to the long-term interests of the whole country. Yu Zhong looked at Yinzhen and shook his head secretly. If it weren't for the fact that this fourth elder brother was too difficult to serve, and there was no security to follow him, and his idea was to continue to maintain the rule of the Qing Dynasty, and what he did was only to consolidate the position of agriculture at the expense of the vitality of other industries in the country, and his knowledge was limited and difficult to persuade, with his character of "although tens of millions of people go to me", if it is used to implement new economic and military policies, the pace of the Qing Dynasty to the world will inevitably be ten times faster or even more than the current speed. …… It's a pity!

"Yu Junmen? Why don't you speak? Yin Zhen saw that Yu Zhong was silent, and asked again.

"Hehe, in fact, Yu is thinking about what the fourth elder brother said just now!" Yu Zhong replied.

"Yinzhen said vain for a while, which made Yu Junmen laugh!" Yin Zhen arched his hand and said.

"It's not a lie. However, Fourth Elder Brother, Yu Mou thinks that your words are a bit excessive! Yu Zhong said with a smile.

"Oh? I don't know what the military should do? Although Yinzhen's face remained unchanged, his tone was slightly tinged with a hint of displeasure that was not easy to be noticed. In terms of behavior, this elder brother is indeed an extremely prudent and measured person, but in terms of his attitude towards people, his personality seems too impatient. No objections! It is because of his character that Kangxi also specially gave him a pair of words "no haste, be patient" as a warning.

"There are so many things in the world, how can you say them all in one word? In fact, the fourth elder brother went to Anhui this time, as long as he took a closer look, he should be able to understand what Yu said. Everything, but the word 'profit'! Yu Zhong said with a smile.

"Interests? Hum. In the military gate, just thinking about one's own interests, isn't it against the way of the courtiers? In this case, where should the word 'country' be placed? Yin Zhen snorted slightly and asked. At this time, he had forgotten his original intention of trying to test Yuzhong.

"Hehe, Fourth Elder Brother don't worry. Yu's meaning is actually to put it bluntly, but it is: to take care of the interests of all parties as much as possible! If it really doesn't work, you can also 'seek common ground while reserving differences'! After all, no one in this world can be 'perfect'. If you take care of all the parties under the state, isn't that the same as taking care of the country? Yu Zhong smiled again, hugged his fist at Yinzhen, and turned back to his cabin. …… He's said enough.
