Unparalleled Fortune in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 413

Two days later, Kangxi called all the adult sons in Beijing except the prince and the eighth elder brother.

Ninth elder brother said rather foolishly: "What's the matter with Huang Ama calling my son over?"

He has an errand on him, but it's just an errand, and he doesn't have to go to court on weekdays. Most of the time, he is still tinkering with profitable business, and by the way, increasing the income of Kangxi's private treasury.

All the brothers in the capital are here today, and they all feel that things are a bit difficult.

Thinking of this, Brother Jiu suddenly looked at Yinzhen, is it possible that he is going to be crowned prince?

Before he could think about it, Kangxi said, "Liang Jiugong, show the memorial to them all."

Everyone passed on the memorial to read, and Kangxi said: "Earlier, Yinzhen discovered that an organization called the East India Company was inquiring about the Qing Dynasty. I didn't take it seriously at first. The Qing Dynasty is a great country. There are a lot of talents, and a group of foreigners far away across the ocean can't do anything to the Qing Dynasty no matter how ambitious they are, but the boss went to India in person and saw the viciousness of the East India Company with his own eyes, as well as their methods, this organization has to be guarded against."

Zheng He sailed to the West in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the land of China was ruled by the Han people, with the most cutting-edge shipbuilding and navigation technology.

But what about the Qing Dynasty?

Although the court did not explicitly prohibit going to sea, Kangxi did not like maritime trade because of the rampant pirates and Japanese pirates, avoiding the collusion and smuggling of officials and businessmen during the Ming Dynasty.

Imported products were popular in the Qing Dynasty, and silk tea and porcelain from the Qing Dynasty were popular overseas. Kangxi also knew such business opportunities, but he was afraid that huge profits would drive people crazy.

The throne of the Aixinjueluo family was taken from the Han people. Although several generations have passed since the Qing army entered the pass, Kangxi is still afraid.

What are you afraid of?
Afraid of being overthrown by the Han people, although the sea ban was not implemented for a while, they did not dare to advocate it.

Even secretly, Kangxi was particularly wary of these.

Therefore, although the shipbuilding technology and navigation technology of the Qing Dynasty cannot be said to be abject, they are no longer comparable to the ambitious people of the East India Company.

Not to mention, they still have firearms in their hands.

More advanced firearms.

As a statesman and military strategist, Kangxi was very aware of the consequences of this backwardness. He was confident that the East India Company would not be able to succeed during his reign, and Yinzhen, the heir he valued, was not incompetent, but he could not guarantee his grandson , the grandson of his grandson...

It's fine if you didn't know it before, but if you know it, Kangxi will not be short-sighted.

It's just that he can't make up his mind on what to do. It's not a trivial matter. Although he's not particularly anxious, he can't ignore it.

After everyone read the memorial and heard such words, Elder Brother Shi's temper exploded first.

He said angrily: "Brother Huang, naturally such ambitious people cannot be indulged. I think we should fight directly to convince them so that they dare not show disrespect to the Qing Dynasty."

It is true to say so, but it is easier said than done, across the turbulent ocean, not to mention the navigation technology of the Qing Dynasty, the reckless pirates at sea are a hurdle that cannot be overcome, let alone the powerful army of the opponent.

This sounds domineering, but nonsense is really nonsense.

Kangxi: "It's good if you have this kind of heart, but across the ocean, how do you fight over there?"

Elder Brother Shi also knew that he was emotional just now, and he said something beyond his head, so he lowered his head and remained silent.

Kangxi looked at the others and asked, "What do you all think?"

The former deposed prince had already come out of Yuqing Palace and was named Prince Li. He was also there, but he didn't speak, not because he had no idea, but his status was really not suitable for him to speak, so he simply didn't speak.

Big Brother didn't speak either.

The two of them didn't speak, and without the eighth elder brother who wanted to show off, everyone kept silent.

Kangxi began to roll the roll directly.

"Yinzhen, tell me."

"I feel that it is better to strengthen ourselves than guarding against the ambitions of foreigners. Foreigners have shipbuilding skills. In our Qing Dynasty, there are many capable people who are good at strange and skillful skills. They can always build more exquisite ships than foreigners. Foreigners sail The technique is strong, we can learn it, we can send people to sail, and we can always learn the technique of sailing. Foreigners have powerful firearms, and we also have a firearms battalion. With Ma's order, people with lofty ideals can always be recruited, and when the time comes to set up corresponding official positions, good talents can always be found to be used by the Qing Dynasty. Foreigners are ambitious, and we can also secretly accumulate energy and wait for the opportunity to be the teacher of the Qing Dynasty. Mastering more superior firearms, more advanced ships and more advanced navigation techniques than foreigners, the ambitions of foreigners at that time can only be delusional. Not impossible."

After these words fell, Kangxi's heart was shocked, and the others were also shocked at the same time.

Yinzhen's tone was flat, but what he said made people excited and his heart was turbulent.

It is very reasonable and feasible.

The Manchus entered the customs by relying on kung fu on horseback. They were good at fighting and strong. The ambition of the foreigners made them very uncomfortable.

But it's not practical to call directly, as Yinzhen said, it's the most reasonable way.

Kangxi was relieved that he was right after all, and Yinzhen was indeed very suitable to be the heir.

An emperor may not have the talent of a top scholar, but he must have a vision. Yin Zhen has a long-term vision. It is not easy to search for foreigners based on some clues of foreigners.

"Well said."

Others naturally did not object. After all, he was a son who was educated by the Kangxi elite, and his obedience ability is not bad.

Now that he had an idea, Kangxi said: "This matter is of great importance, and it will take a long time, so Yinzhen will be in charge. Whoever needs to be hired is up to you."

Kangxi can see that the future of the Qing Dynasty depends on his son.

Although he still has strength, he can't do what he wants, especially in the past few years when his methods have become more benevolent, the people below began to have the idea of ​​stealing and playing tricks.

The future of the Qing Dynasty should not only look at this land. The globe passed down by foreigners, the Qing Dynasty is only a part of it.

Regarding the "future" of the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi is very relieved to leave it to Yinzhen to be the master, and now he can do a lot, for example, let the officials who have been lazy and slippery all these years experience the fact that he once captured Oboi and flattened the San Francisco Decisive.

In the past, he wanted to be a benevolent emperor, so he turned a blind eye. He also knew the problems of the officials, but he just moved his whole body. If he moved, it could be said that blood would flow like a river.

Now he has a reason to move. He always wants to make the interior of the Qing Dynasty like an iron bucket. The ambitions of foreigners are destined to be nothing but absurd delusions.

　The thesis is finished and still being revised, it's almost over! !
