Ten Dragons Take the Inheritance

Chapter 229 The Wind of the Thunder Project Blows to the Pacific Ocean ([-])

Seeing that it was going to be June, and the capital, which had not rained for more than a month, was very hot. Even though there were two ice basins placed in the upper study room, Mr. Kangxi still felt that it was very hot, and looked at the stack of dishes on the table in an irritable mood. Thick melodies are outlined.In previous years, at this time of year, Mr. Kangxi was either staying in Rehe Li Palace or spending summer in the Changchun Garden outside the city, but this year there were a lot of things happening, first the imperial examination fraud case, and then the money law fraud case, which just stopped for a few days. There was another Nagasaki Incident, and the cumbersome affairs of the court really bothered the old man, so he had no intention of going to escape the summer heat, so he could only stay in the palace and deal with all these things.It's also thanks to the good health that Mr. Kangxi built from horseback riding and archery when he was young. If it were someone else, he would have been unable to resist at his age.

When the news of the Nagasaki Incident came out, Mr. Kangxi was very angry. It was unbearable for a small Japanese country to repeatedly violate God's power.Grandpa Kangxi is an emperor who has fought old battles. He attacked Taiwan, pacified San Francisco, and defeated Galdan. He has experienced countless wars in his life. It's a lesson from the Wa country, but the old man also understands what kind of virtue Daqingshui is, and how to fight this battle, he really doesn't have much confidence in his heart.

These days, the voices of the main battle between the government and the opposition have been on the rise. All the courtiers and governors of various provinces have made statements one after another, shouting and killing. Waiting for the memorial to be thrown into the wastebasket by Mr. Kangxi.Fighting is definitely necessary, but it's just a question of how to fight. It's not that Mr. Kangxi has never led a naval battle. Mr. Shi Lang's plan to attack Taiwan is still clear to Mr. Shi Lang, but Taiwan is closer to the mainland after all. It is too far away, and the distance between Japan and the mainland is much farther, and the supply of logistics has become a big problem.Grandpa Kangxi compared the papers in his hands, and already had some ideas in his mind, he raised his head and looked at the secretary who was standing next to him, and said to the Minister of the Study: "I think the papers of the old fourteen are also feasible. What do you think?"

Ma Qi, as the minister of the upper study and also the errand of the household department, naturally looked at the matter from the perspective of military expenditure, and first stood up and said: "My lord, according to the booklet of the fourteenth elder brother, the total amount of military pay, food and fodder is required 2000 million taels of silver, although this amount can be afforded by the Ministry of Finance, it is just a little bit tight. If it can be won quickly, it is no problem. You can claim the silver taels from the Japanese country, but if you can’t, you may need to increase the number of troops in the future. It is really difficult to raise money for the two households department.”

Ever since Xiong Cilu broke things due to the fraudulent imperial examinations, Wang Ji has been the Minister of the above-mentioned study and the position of the Minister of Rites. Said: "Your Majesty, I think it is not wrong to send troops to teach the Wa country, but I think it is inappropriate to use the power of our heavenly kingdom to claim compensation."

Ma Qi was originally a shady student and did not obtain any honor in the imperial examinations, but he is also a person who is familiar with poetry and books. Zuo's influence is not as shy about talking about money as those "honest gentlemen" who are old-fashioned. In his opinion, the Qing Dynasty suffered a big loss in the Nagasaki Incident. It's not a big deal, and besides, the Manchus have always had the custom of taking everything that the opponent owns when they defeat their opponents. Seeing Wang Jian jumping out to object at this time, they were not very polite, and immediately retorted: "My lord, I think the king Your lord’s words are absurd, killing people to pay for their lives, and debts to pay back money is a matter of course and right, the Japanese pirates killed my people in the Qing Dynasty, and robbed me of my wealth, and my Qing Dynasty’s compensation is just to ask for a debt, what’s wrong with it.”

Although Ma Qi's words are a bit vulgar, the truth is very clear, but Wang Jian didn't take it seriously, and said in a high voice: "A gentleman conquers people with virtue, and my kingdom in heaven naturally has the dignity of being a kingdom, how can I act like a philistine?" way."

Ma Qi immediately countered and said: "The Japanese pirates, the savages who have transformed themselves, are worse than villains. How can they talk about the way of a gentleman? I think..."

Seeing that the two ministers were arguing a little bit red-faced, Mr. Kangxi interrupted Ma Qi with a wave of his hand and said, "The two lovers seem to have forgotten the rule of not being rude."

Although the old man Kangxi said this in a joking tone, the two ministers who went to the study room were terrified, and quickly knelt down and said: "I am impolite, please punish me."

Grandpa Kangxi smiled and said: "Let's get back on your feet, you are all veterans, I will not punish you for trivial matters, but you must be cautious." Then he paused, looked at Li Guang and said: " Jinqing, you are an old minister, and you have conquered Taiwan, in your opinion, is the old fourteen's trick feasible?"

Li Guangdi is known as "the tumbler of the Xi Dynasty", and he is the most experienced among the ministers of the study room. Mingzhu and Suo'etu, who were at the same time as him, have already fallen one after another. It depends on three things: one is to be good at guessing the holy will, and never express one's position before understanding the holy will; the second is not to take power too much; the third is tact.At this time, when I heard the words of the old man Kangxi, I knew that the holy heart of the old man Kangxi had been determined, and what he did was the old fourteen's book. I also know a little bit about the military equipment of the Wa Kingdom, so according to the fourteenth elder brother's book, there must be a chance of winning this battle."

Grandpa Kangxi nodded noncommittally, looked at Zhang Tingyu and said, "Hengchen, I want to hear your opinion."

Zhang Tingyu had already prepared the answer, and without hesitation, he replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, I also think that this battle has a chance of winning, but now that our Shandong Navy has just been reorganized, this combat power seems to be insufficient. , I'm afraid something is wrong. Prince Yi has always been familiar with the navy, why didn't your lord call Prince Yi to ask?"

Grandpa Kangxi chuckled and didn't say a word. With his shrewdness, he had already seen that Yinzuo's handwriting was behind the old fourteen's book, so there was no need to call Yinzuo for questioning.The old man smiled and changed the subject: "Since there is a chance of winning this battle, I am not a person who is afraid of fighting. Well, according to what you see, who should be the commander?"

It's hard to answer Mr. Kangxi's words. Which of you ministers in the study room don't know who Yinzuo, Yinzhen, and Yinhu are fighting for in private? Everyone is human, and no one wants to express their opinion on this matter. It is something that offends others, but the old man asked a question, and it is really impossible not to answer, so the big guys bowed together and replied: "Everything is respectful. Judges, ministers, etc. have no objection."

What the ministers in the study room were thinking in their hearts, Mr. Kangxi was very clear in his heart, but he couldn't do anything about it, he could only smile lightly and said: "You always let my Sacred Heart be dictatorship. It's really a dictatorship, this matter will be discussed tomorrow morning, I'm tired, so you can kneel down."

Although the old man Kangxi said this with a smile, the subtext in the words is very cold. Everyone is a person who understands, how can they not understand the meaning of the words, but no one dares to talk too much about such a big matter, even Wang Jie, who has always been known for his honesty and integrity, also kept silent. At this time, when he heard the old man asked the big guys to kneel down, they all retreated as if they had been pardoned.Grandpa Kangxi took a look at the booklet of the old fourteen in silence, heaved a sigh of relief, walked out of the upper study room absent-mindedly, and went straight to the harem...

Tomorrow is going to court early, but Yinzuo dare not be careless. Whether he can win the commander-in-chief depends on the results of tomorrow's court meeting. The "Honghu" and "Dark Arrow" under Yinzuo's banner are very busy these days. The information was continuously sent back to Yin Zuo's palace. The content of the discussion of the old man Kangxi in the upper study room was sent back early in the morning. Zuo, Wu, and Lin were busy reading the old man's words carefully, trying to figure out word by word, and combined with what they knew about the dynamics of the fourth child and the eighth child, trying to find a countermeasure.

"Although the Holy Majesty did not express his position to let the Fourteenth Lord be in charge, according to Lihe, the meaning in these words seems to be somewhat in favor of the Fourteenth Lord." Lin Xuanyi opened his mouth first after thinking for a long time.

tendency?Well, there is such a possibility, but the old man has always been arbitrary and has never been indecisive in a situation. If he really has this tendency, why doesn't he express his position immediately?Yin Zuo shook his head and said: "This king thinks that the emperor's move is a bit strange. If he really intends to let the old fourteenth take command, why not just announce it? This battle is not difficult to fight. Is there anything undecided?" place?"

"There is something undecided. The fourteenth master is only sixteen years old and has never experienced war. He suddenly entrusted him with a heavy responsibility. He is afraid that the three armies will not accept it. If he comes to offer advice in court, the prestige of the fourteenth master will be raised to some extent. " Lin Xuanyi said with a smile.

Um?This sounds reasonable, but it seems a bit forced.Yinzuo shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not necessarily true. There are many ways to raise one's prestige, and there is no need to use such a method."

Wu Sidao was about to speak, when suddenly the maid outside came to report: "Master, the third master is here."

third child?What is the purpose of this kid's visit at this time?Yinzuo was stunned...
