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

In the year when opium was banned, Yinfeng was 17 years old. Both Kangxi and Dolittle regarded it as a child who had finally grown up and matured, but they didn't know that the change in personality was a normal manifestation of young people entering the rebellious period.

After bidding farewell to Yao Qisheng, Yinreng devoted himself to his career again.Yinti reported successes in the west, Kangxi was full of joy, and continued to send reinforcements under Yinti's letter, hoping to destroy Galdan as soon as possible and take advantage of the victory to attack the Western Regions.

There is also news from overseas that the battle of the Grand Alliance among the Western countries is in dire straits, and all countries are bloody. France, led by the Sun King, has conquered a large area of ​​land, and now it is challenging the alliance of all countries with the power of one country.

Territories on land, the power to dominate the sea is in the hands of the Sun King. He issued sanctions to the Netherlands, raised tariffs with the Netherlands, and stationed military troops in the occupied territories such as Luxembourg and Lorraine, eyeing Spain next door.Supporting King James to regain domestic power, confronting King William of England, and promoting chaos in England's internal affairs.

Even under such circumstances, Western countries still have not stopped their outward colonial expansion, and have even intensified their plundering from outside to obtain benefits and supply their domestic consumption.

War is the most depleting of national power. During this period, no country has spare time to recuperate and develop, except Rakshasa!

Tsar Peter brought back many craftsmen from the West, which set off a wave of reforms in the country, established schools, reorganized and trained new troops, and established firearms factories and naval bases.He overthrew the original separation of lords from various places, and also learned the provincial and local classification of the Qing Dynasty, and established a governor!

There was a mess between the Rakshasa country and the church. Peter tried his best to reform the domestic religion, embezzle the power of the church, and insisted on eating the church independent of the political power, intending to integrate its flesh and blood into the state affairs and obey the tsar's orders.

The Raksha Kingdom, which was looked down upon by Khan Ama before, has been reformed in full swing in a blink of an eye. It feels like a whip is whipped hard behind a slack donkey. Several things.

Since sending people to various countries, Kangxi and his courtiers have never mentioned to stop the prosperity of foreign studies.

The news from all over the world came in a steady stream, and the world's trends were in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. No one wanted to be blindfolded and ears covered again.If you don't listen to these information, don't pay attention to the world, you will always feel that you will fall behind and close your eyes.

"Sun Tzu's Art of War" said: Know the enemy and know yourself, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.What I'm talking about is the change in the court's attitude towards the prosperity of foreign studies.

When it was up to the court, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said: "Now the Joseon Dynasty, the Vietnam Dynasty, Burma, Siam, Dongying, Ryukyu and other vassal states sent envoys to request to enter Beijing. , It was caused by Western trade. Countries such as Japan and Ryukyu were deeply disturbed by it, and they begged for the protection of the Qing Dynasty to explore our country’s attitude towards Western trade.”

Foreigners are not as polite to the colonial aggression of other regions as they are to the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty has a navy, cannons, a great reputation in the battle with the Rakshasa, and the strength and heritage of a big country left to the world by foreign trade. Small and weak countries In the face of colonial power, only forced to submit.

The mainland that is farther away is beyond the control of the Qing Dynasty, but the vassal states that are in the same East Asian continent and have ties to each other can't help but want to talk about the Qing Dynasty's attitude towards this, hoping to rely on the suzerain country , to avoid being colonized and plundered by foreign forces.

The courtiers discussed it enthusiastically, and some people said: "It should be shown to the restless vassal state. How can they survive without the protection of the Qing Dynasty?"

Some people also said: "This statement is wrong. Since ancient times, the dynasties and dynasties have treated these vassal states in a gentle way. As long as they keep their own place, our country can use the same knowledge as the small vassal states?"

"A small country doesn't know its duty, so it should be punished instead of standing idly by when it is bullied." Beating a dog depends on the owner!Nominally, it is a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for the Qing Dynasty if they were occupied?

There are also people who understand the previous sentence: "The vassal state is adjacent to our country. If it is invaded by the West, it will be extremely difficult for our country to survive alone."

"The Kingdom of Korea does not shy away from the name of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. They learn the Chinese culture of our country, but they don't know the reason to shy away from the name? This is not a good thing."

The relationship between suzerain state and vassal state in the original tributary system of the Qing Dynasty was nothing more than asking them to submit. Every time they came to pay tribute, they were given a taste of sweetness and supported them.When there was no comparison, they couldn't feel it. Now that there is a comparison, those western colonial forces like hungry wolves scared them out of their wits!

Our country is a kingdom of heaven, rich, magnanimous, considerate, and honorable. It treats vassal states with gentleness. If you come to be a vassal, we will support you. Han culture is not stingy. If you love to learn, we will teach you. .Instead of exploiting you, they provide you with protection, never interfere in their internal affairs, and just like this, each of them engages in some petty tricks, like a cat itching to scratch its owner, which is not good at all!

A vassal state that has fallen into the hands of Western forces has only one end. Its internal affairs are controlled by it, and its people are oppressed by it. It swallowed up its land with roots and stems.

Now you know the Qing dynasty, right?Now you know eagerly to come up and hug your thighs, right?What did you do early!

After the courtiers discussed it, it finally depends on the emperor's attitude.

Kangxi said: "Since ancient times, the vassal states have been governed with gentle policies. I haven't unified the Western Regions yet, so I have no time to take care of them. If the vassal states are invaded by foreign countries, it will be a troublesome matter for the Qing Dynasty."

The courtiers understood and spoke one after another.

For other vassal states, the Li Fan Academy has documented records, such as the Ryukyu Kingdom is a little boy who keeps his own law, and the Qing Dynasty is naturally willing to give it asylum.

The Burmese and Vietnamese dynasties who professed their vassals after the defeat and kept their own law and order for the time being also temporarily sheltered them.

But Dongying is a strange country. The envoys who came this time claimed to be the retainers of the fifth generation conquering general Tokugawa Tsunayoshi. The emperor of their small island country has no sense of existence at all. The whole country is ruled by samurai.

Nalan Xingde said: "Although the Tokugawa shogunate often sends envoys to the Qing Dynasty to give gifts, it has a close trade with the Qing Dynasty and intends to maintain friendship with the Qing Dynasty. It is because of the country's trade that it needs to rely on exports to the Qing Dynasty. Ranchen has never seen any documents proving that the Tokugawa shogunate professed its vassalship to the Qing Dynasty, and it seemed to pay tribute, but in fact it avoided proclaiming its vassal to the Qing Dynasty many times, and Rongchen doubted Dongying's sincerity."

It is true that there has never been any discord between Japan and the Qing Dynasty, but they have never admitted that they surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. While they need to seek asylum and increase trade, they are unwilling to bow their heads at the same time. This is expected by the Prime Minister of the Qing Dynasty. If Li can punt, will he be tolerant to them?

Among the vassal states, those who have declared their vassals come to seek asylum, and there are documents in the Lifan Court, which can accept them, so what is Dongpu?

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized that "East Japan has never stated verbally or in writing that it has surrendered to our country, and the Lifan Academy has no record!"

Nalan Xingde hated being prostituted most in his life, even if his own people beat him up, Dongying wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, how could there be such a good thing?

As long as someone wanted to go whoring for nothing, Nalan Xingde immediately became vigilant if there was any disturbance.

Yinfeng suggested: "Khan Ama, why don't you issue an order to order Dongying to deliver the surrender document to the Qing Dynasty. If he is unwilling to surrender, he has no choice but to refuse."

Doing business in the future is also the same. Bring other vassal states to conduct mutual trade, mutual benefit with other close neighbors, and form a relationship of mutual prosperity between the suzerain state and small countries. You will not bring Dongying to play with neighbors. From now on, they will be regarded as having the same status as Western countries. outsiders to deal with.

Geographically, these vassal states are nestled next to the Qing Dynasty, and their attitude towards them is of course different from that of Westerners across the ocean.

Some courtiers disagreed, and they tried to persuade Yinfeng on the basis of the good relationship between Japan and the Qing Dynasty.

"His Royal Highness, Dongying has never had any extra thoughts. Both the Burmese and Vietnamese dynasties fought against the Qing Dynasty, and they surrendered only when they lost. Compared with them, Dongying is more obedient."

"If you don't think too much, then when the Qing Dynasty asks it to be a vassal, the Tokugawa shogunate will make the right choice."

The prince glanced at him lightly, his expression calm.

After the prince stopped laughing, he put a lot of pressure on people when he saw people. He used to smile like a big boy, gentle and sunny. While attracting people to him, he didn't put pressure on them, so that the courtiers treated the prince as if he was a big boy. It is respected because of the emperor, and respected because of his status.

Now that the ban on opium is over, the courtiers began to look directly at the prince himself, and were in awe of Yinfeng.

"East Japan is an island country, not far from the sea near the Qing Dynasty. Its geographical location is destined to entangle with the Qing Dynasty. If this is the case, it will be clear who is in charge."

We can't destroy their country, pull the neighbors around to isolate them, and see who is sad?

Anyway, the documents of the Lifan Academy are waiting, and if you pay tribute, be good, and everything will be easy to talk about.

In fact, Japan is not a docile country.

They refused to surrender to the Qing Dynasty and hoped to continue their friendship.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Qing Dynasty said: "It is of course possible to maintain friendship. The Qing Dynasty has always treated people with generosity. Since you want to maintain friendship, please abide by your duty."

Don't think about the treatment of vassal states, sit and compete with Western countries for trade, understand?

As soon as this remark came out, the Qing Dynasty raised the tariffs on Japan, setting it at the same level as the tariffs of Western countries, and more preferential treatment was only open to the obedient and obedient vassal states.

The vassal states learned the culture of the Han Dynasty and established education under the influence of the Qing Dynasty. After a period of time, both sides benefited from the mutual market. Such a business relationship between the big country and the small country made the Qing Dynasty in a relatively stable environment. At least For nearly a hundred years, you don't have to worry about fighting each other with your neighbors.

Then look at the red-eyed battle of the Great Alliance in the Western countries, and see them go to war for you to occupy me and I to occupy you, cutting the country into a mess. All the ministers praised Kangxi for his "priority of seeing".

The reluctance of the Tokugawa shogunate to be a vassal was within Yinreng's expectation, and Yinzhen asked him curiously, "Why is the prince hostile to Dongying?"

Others don't know the strangeness of Yinfeng's behavior, but Yinzhen knows the future. He told Yinfeng about the future situation: "Dongying has been in peace for nearly a hundred years, and until his death, he never had a quarrel with the Qing Dynasty. , they will live in peace for another hundred years."

Yinfeng asked him back: "Do you believe that ruling a country with martial arts can last for a long time?"

"Everything the Tokugawa shogunate does is to maintain domestic stability. If they surrender to the Qing Dynasty, it will definitely cause an uproar and destabilize the country. What's interesting is that now they don't have the stability and benefits that the Qing Dynasty brought to them, and the domestic downfall faction is still The power has grown. But whether it is the shogunate or the people who fell, they are all samurai. I have been doing business with Dongying in the Qing Dynasty for many years, and I know Dongying better than I know the West. The culture of Han Dynasty is like the sea, inclusive and inclusive. , admiration, admiration, and thus fascination and learning. And their bushido culture is a spike, a weapon without a scabbard. You and I can only live for a hundred years. How about a hundred years later? Do you know what their culture will be? What kind of bane was born of poor soldiers and Qianwu? What kind of impact will it bring to the Qing Dynasty?"

Han culture has influenced Dongying for hundreds of years since the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Even so, their country is still what it is now. The country has been ruled by martial arts to the extreme. Isn't it just aggression and expansion?

I'm sorry, I watched too many cartoons, so I didn't understand it too much. Yinfeng deeply analyzed this country and felt that it would not be a good thing in the future according to the current development trend.

There is a common saying that is called looking old at three years old. Dongying is now three years old, and can predict what kind of reform tendency the country will adopt in order to become stronger in the future. Big prejudice!

Yinzhen thought for a while: Anyway, Dongying is the one who is unlucky, not the courtiers of the Qing Dynasty, let alone the brothers, so let him go!

Kangxi didn't take Dongying seriously: "It's just Dongying. If the prince doesn't like it, he will abandon it."

The prince's attitude had a great influence on the implementation of the Qing government's decrees. Yinfeng's rebellious period was still going on, which made Yinzhen feel like "this child grows up to be unreasonable".

However, the courtiers accepted it well, and Khan Ama was still indulging. At most, Yinzhen reminded him: "Don't look at Khan Ama indulging you now, but I'm still a little worried. I heard when I was in the ministry, Khan Ama Ma intends to give you a concubine in advance."

Yinreng came back to his senses and shuddered suddenly: "I'm not full yet!"

The author has something to say: Who said that we Baocheng will not have a girlfriend until the end of the year? Kangxi said that Baocheng should get out of the order before the Spring Festival of 2021!

Ps:

Just as it is historically inevitable for our country to embark on the road of socialism, it is the choice of history and the people, it is in line with the reality of our country, and it is in line with the inevitable development of ideological and cultural inheritance since ancient times.

Therefore, it is an inevitable trend for Japan to embark on the road of militarism. The roots have already been planted in ideology and culture.
