[Qing] If you don't work hard, you will be forced to inherit the throne

Seeing his eldest brother working hard, Yinreng felt very happy. When he was happy, he wanted to find someone to share this joy.

In addition to Xiaomei, he now also has a "trash can" to confide in!

That is the fourth younger brother Yin Mo who is pinched by Xiao Ming in his hands.

Anyway, Yinfeng couldn't figure out why the fourth younger brother exposed himself, so that his lifeline was in his hands. However, Yinreng warmly welcomed the fourth younger brother's "self-inflicted trap", and because of this "unique" His brotherly relationship made him unable to vent, and even the words that he could only write in his diary on weekdays had a place to vent.

The fourth younger brother resisted like a weak chicken, not deterrent at all, and sometimes his thinking was rigid like an old man, which made him want to tease him even more.

Yinreng said to Yinzhen: "I have discussed with elder brother alone, and plan to conduct military parade training for the Eight Banners."

During Yinzhen's reign, he was also troubled by the increasingly decaying Eight Banners. The emperor's inspection can be regarded as a kind of military parade, which was specially performed for the emperor, and he knew it very well.

"Since you want to change the habits of the Eight Banners who love leisure and hate work, this method can only cure for a while, not the root cause."

During the reign of Yongzheng, there were fewer domestic wars than during the reign of Kangxi. In comfort, the Eight Banners Army failed to exercise, as if the knife was rusted and blunt, but the owner who held the knife did not have the heart to sharpen the knife sharp.

"When Zheng Keshun came to surrender, there is no need to welcome him on such a grand occasion as a military parade." Yinzhen frowned, "Why should you be polite to those who surrendered?"

What's more, Zheng Keshuang was timid and cowardly. After he surrendered, he was honored and supported by the imperial court in the capital, and he lived peacefully until his old age and death.From Yinzhen's point of view, there is really no need to give so much face.

"It's a deterrent, and it's also a way to practice the Eight Banners. The most important thing is to show Khan Ama the military parade."

A military parade includes a display of troops, as well as a display of weapons.

Yin Mo shook his head: "Work hard to mobilize everyone."

"Let them continue to patrol during the day and go to Huajie at night without laboring too much?"

Yinfeng said: "Brother also agrees with Gu's statement, and has already handed over the memorial to Khan Ama."

Even the eldest son of the emperor got involved. There is no big right or wrong involved in this matter. As far as Khan Ama himself wants to review the fighting ability of the Eight Banners, this matter will be carried out in all likelihood.

Yinzhen said: "Your brother can't stop what you and the boss are going to do now, but there is one thing I want to remind you."

Yinfeng: "What?"

"If you want to rely on weapons for deterrence, then you are wrong. Taiwan's Zheng family's artillery and guns are far more advanced than those of the Qing Dynasty."

Yin Zhen counted the time, and the firearms battalion of the Ministry of War of the Qing Dynasty was established seven years later.

"Swords, swords, spears, those weapons are already outdated for Zheng Keshun, who grew up by the sea and came from a family of pirates."

The founder of the Zheng family in Taiwan is Zheng Chenggong, the grandfather of Zheng Keshuang, a general of the Southern Ming Dynasty who has been active since the reign of the first emperor.

"Zheng Chenggong was born in a family of pirates, and his father was born in a reckless pirate. However, he relied on pirate plunder and trade to quickly grow and accumulate, build an army, and eventually develop into a large-scale navy, dominating the East Asian waters for many years. His mother is from Dongying. According to the history books of Qing officials, before Taiwan was recovered by the Zheng family of Taiwan, it was originally occupied by the Dutch invasion."

Yinzhen spoke very pertinently, and it is he who is still a child now, abandoning the standpoint of the Qing emperor, looking at the rise and fall of history in the next fifty years, and commenting on the past from the standpoint of "posterity" .

"During the reign of the first emperor, Zheng Chenggong borrowed troops from the Tokugawa shogunate to fight against the Qing Dynasty."

Yinzhen said coldly: "Although the Tokugawa family plan has not been agreed, the Zheng family has a close relationship with Dongying. And it occupies an island and fights against two generations of emperors with the Qing Dynasty, not only by Taiwan's own power, but also by The West on the other side of the sea. Westerners always want to invade their land, whether it is the Netherlands, England or Spain, they all have a lot to do with Zheng."

Therefore, in his later years, Khan Ama once again implemented a stricter sea ban to prevent changes in the barbarians, cut off all foreign minions and extended his greedy hands to the Qing Dynasty.

After Yinzhen came to power, he released the sea ban for the sake of treasury revenue. The Qing treasury really received a large amount of tariffs due to maritime trade.

Before he died, he worked so hard to make the state treasury look good, and left behind a lot of inheritance. He only hoped that his successor, Hongli, could follow his old path, be diligent and honest, be prepared for danger in times of peace, and not make great achievements, otherwise All his achievements will be in vain.

"Have you ever seen the "Kun Yu Wan Guo Quan Tu" in Khan Ama's royal study? Do you know where the Netherlands, England and Spain are?"

Yinfeng nodded, his eyes widened like cats, obviously shocked by what Yinzhen mentioned.

So there are so many inside stories here?

He couldn't help looking at Xiaomei.

[Zheng Chenggong, in the eyes of the Han people, is the great hero of the Southern Ming Dynasty who fought against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, and in the eyes of the Dongying people, he is also a "Hero of Yamato".The Zheng family has always been a thorn in the throat of the Qing emperors, but it is undeniable that the Zheng family of Taiwan is the maritime hegemony in the East Asian waters, and its family background of pirates has left it behind in the fight against the Netherlands and the threat to Spain. Under the brilliant record.Oh yes, when Spain occupied the Philippines, the Zheng family planned to send troops to relieve the siege.According to unofficial history records, at that time Zheng Chenggong planned to attack the Philippines, but the news that Zheng Jing and the nanny communicated with each other came from behind, which made Zheng Chenggong mad! 】 Yinfeng: ...

do not know why.When he heard Xiaomei talking about unofficial history in a high-pitched tone, he could hear a bit of schadenfreude.

Xiaomei also persuaded Yinfeng earnestly.

[Big friends can’t study Zheng Jing when they grow up! 】

Yinreng was confused:? ? ?

Here Yinzhen said: "The Zheng family is well versed in the principle of long-distance friendship and short-term attack. It has been in business with the West, especially England, for many years. When confronting our dynasty, it not only spent huge sums of money to buy English artillery and firearms, but also hired its soldiers to participate. naval battle."

Before Shi Lang descended to the Qing Dynasty and trained a large number of powerful naval forces for them, the Qing Dynasty suffered heavy losses in the battle with Taiwan in the coastal areas, and was even at a disadvantage in the early years.

[It's a mercenary, not a soldier!Mercenaries work for money, and don't have so many national concepts.In fact, even the Cossack cavalry hired by Tsarist Russia to invade the border of the Qing Dynasty were not regular troops. 】Maybe he finally said some news that shocked Yinreng and changed his face, the corners of Yinzhen's mouth curled up slightly.

I said before that I was arrogant. As a god who taught you the rest, didn’t you also commit the mistake of arrogance?

"How did such a behemoth such as the Zheng family in Taiwan weaken and be destroyed by our dynasty in the end? My second brother might as well go to the library to find some documents written by historians."

Such documents that record the rise and fall of the enemy are all lying in the library!

Xiaomei absorbed a lot of information, and quickly searched for Yinreng accurately, and found a few words in the history book.

[The decline of the Zheng family was not due to the incompetence of Zheng Chenggong and Zheng Jing's father and son, but due to internal strife. Zheng Chenggong's younger brother Zheng Tai and his son Zheng Jing failed to seize power, and Zheng Taizhi's cronies led a lot of money and military funds to defect to the Qing Dynasty, which caused heavy damage to Taiwan, which was still in chaos after Zheng Chenggong's death.

Brothers fratricide and relatives quarreled were the root causes of Zheng's turn from prosperity to decline, and they were also recorded in the history books of the Qing Dynasty as a warning.

Seeing that Yinreng hadn't spoken for a long time, and was still immersed in the shock and couldn't extricate himself, Yinzhen sighed softly: No matter how many evil ideas there are, the prince is still a child after all!

The cruel struggle between countries and the entanglement of interests, even the grown-up emperors are deeply troubled, let alone the young prince who has never been in contact with these things?

Yinzhen succeeded to the throne at the age of 45, and was banned at the age of 50. He is over half a century old and has a wealth of life experience. He has experienced many big and small storms to experience the courage and vision.In front of the young Yinfeng, the background is as deep as mountains and rivers.

From his eyes, even the current Kangxi is still very young, so tender that he is determined to forge ahead, showing his sharpness, like a sword drawn out of its sheath.

Growing up as a child, Yinzhen felt a completely different life experience and felt the sincerity that was forgotten in the long years in the previous life.

The current Qing Dynasty has no treasury empty, and has not suffered heavy losses in the brotherly struggle. The eighth child is still drinking milk, the ninth child is still in the stomach, and the mother is not pregnant with the bad fourteenth. What a peaceful time When I was young, it would be better if I didn't have to study mathematics, physics and chemistry.

Xiaodou Ding Yinzhen cared about Yinreng in a kind tone: "Second brother, did you get scared?"

Yinfeng let out an "ah" and came back to his senses. He hugged Yinzhen like a doll, his eyes were shining brightly, and Blinblin was shining with excitement: "Fourth brother reminded me that I am lonely, and Zheng Keshuang will inherit it." Zheng Jingyanping the throne, he surrendered to us, and then he will move to the capital to live like a hostage. What does this mean?"

Yinzhen was lifted from his armpit by him, and he couldn't step on the ground after kicking his calf several times. He scolded angrily: "What do you mean?! Put me down!"

"It means that he has left a large amount of inheritance from the pirate family. Once he surrenders, it will all belong to us!"

Yinzhen froze for a moment, and immediately stopped struggling. After conquering Taiwan in the previous life, the Qing Dynasty set up the Taiwan government in Taiwan, dispatched officials and troops to take over the remaining forces of Zheng Jing, and asked them to shave their hair and change clothes, and pay tribute every year Apart from this, there is no other action.

As long as he thinks about it for a while, he understands Yinfeng's plan. The prince is young, but his appetite is not small. He wants the Qing Dynasty to eat up all the coastal trade in East Asia and absorb Taiwan's Zheng family for many years. personal connections.

"It's impossible," Yin Mo murmured.

[Yes, the stalemate between the Zheng family and the Qing Dynasty for 23 years relied on the huge maritime business empire.Why did the Dutch send envoys to find Daddy's father to cooperate?Although it happened when the big friend was just born, the Dutch at that time were competing for sovereignty with the Zheng family in East Asian trade. They hoped to attack the Zheng family to seize the sovereignty of East Asia by cooperating with the Qing army and continue Taiwan. Colonial plan!At that time, Dongying, even though the Tokugawa shogunate was weak and failed to send troops to help Zheng Jing, did provide food support. Because of the Dutch and Spanish colonists who were driven away by Zheng Chenggong and his son, Dongying was saved from being invaded. It's the truth that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. 】The stars and the sea, how many forces are brewing open and secret struggles, every young man who has watched One Piece, is full of yearning for the stars and the sea, and Yinfeng is really in the deepest "poison" of "One Piece", the most easily affected by blood age.

On the world map, the Qing Dynasty is just a country in the Asian region, but on the vast ocean, countless countries are competing, fighting, trading, and cooperating there.

"Why can't you make it?" Yinreng asked Yinzhen: "Still afraid to do it? Such a big and delicious big cake is right in front of you, why don't you eat it?"

Yin Mo was speechless.

Let me say something more at this time, the family law of the ancestors and the way of Confucius and Mencius are all false.Yinzhen has personally experienced the huge profits of maritime trade. When Taiwan was recovered in the previous life, Khan Ama gave up the relationship between the Zheng family and the West, and only traded with Dongying. It was for defense and the dominance of the emperor's power.

"The Qing Dynasty has been closed for too long. Khan Ama has said that the ban will be lifted, and you also said that our artillery and firearms technology is backward. Since England's artillery is advanced, then ask them to buy it, and then disassemble it for research. , since the shotguns of the Netherlands are advanced, they should do the same. How about Zheng's maritime army against the power of the Qing Dynasty? Why can't we also set up scholars. While fighting against the Qing Dynasty, they can also fight against the Netherlands and Spain , don't you envy such naval power?"

Yinzhen thought of the issue of sea ban that was discussed again by the courtiers of the last Khan Ama in his later years. If... If the Qing Dynasty in the previous life could also seize the opportunity to conquer Taiwan, build its own navy, and take the lead in trade in East Asian waters, yes Wouldn't it be impossible to close the door to protect yourself in order to avoid threats in the East Asian waters and the Western Ocean?

Yinzhen: "Is there anything I want from the upper kingdom, why do business with foreign countries?"

Just as Yinfeng was about to retort, Yinzhen continued, "Let Taiwan open up its maritime trade, and those who oppose the Qing will have the opportunity to make trouble for no reason."

"Westerners are staring at my Qing Dynasty with wolfish ambitions, and in the name of trade, they are actually doing piracy. Why do they need to go so far as to seek skin from tigers?"

Yinreng was interrupted by Yinzhen for a while, "Lonely, lonely, lonely..." After a long time without a chance to say it, he was so angry that he covered Yinzhen's mouth: "You are so talkative, you actually said Some short-sighted things, if the kingdom of heaven wants to have everything, how come the artillery is weaker than Zheng's, and it took a whole country to fight an island for 23 years! I'm afraid, it's because it's weak, weak, it should be more Become stronger! With weapons and a navy, will you still be afraid of demons and monsters?"

Yinzhen rolled his eyes and pulled his hand: "Oh, then go and tell Han Ama."

What he said was all from Khan Ama's point of view. Yinzhen himself was the emperor who supported the sea ban. If you want to blame it, you can blame Khan Ama for leaving a huge deficit in the treasury in his later years, which made him exhausted. Thinking about ways to make money, the biggest part of Qing's money bag, besides relying on him to raid his home, was to get rich quickly by relying on the tariffs of opening up sea trade.

Yinzhen said expressionlessly: "Is it useful to tell me? You have the ability to persuade Han Ama to go."

Does Yinzhen have no complaints about the mess Khan Ama left him?

If it weren't for Khan Ama's constant tricks in his later years, he would die of exhaustion in the court case after he succeeds to the throne?

Well now, there is a prince working in front, if he can solve the problem of the East Asian waters and the sea ban in advance, how easy will it be for him when he grows up?

Yinzhen encouraged Yinreng: "The second brother of the prince might as well write a memorial for Khan Ama."

Yinfeng: "..."

[Hey...how does this scene seem familiar? 】

Of course we met, how he encouraged the elder brother before, now the fourth younger brother is here to encourage him.

Yinfeng became alert instantly, staring at Yinzhen implied vigilance, and his voice raised a level.

"Are you teaching Gu how to do things?"

The author has something to say: During the Kangxi period, the British Stuart dynasty was overthrown, the Glorious Revolution took place, and a constitutional monarchy was established. From the perspective of the rulers of the Qing Dynasty at that time, they actually looked down on Britain. The power of the monarchy has fallen!

It was also in this era that all the germs that would promote democracy were strangled in the cradle by the rulers of the Qing Dynasty.
