Road to Shunzhi

Chapter 109

In the autumn of the 25th year of Shunzhi, Li Hai won a complete victory, not only wiped out Su Abao's pirate dens, but also brought in a few small gangs, moved back all the savings of the pirates for many years, and robbed a lot of money.

Fulin was a loose hand, and immediately rewarded Li Hai and his navy a lot, which made people look extremely jealous.Li Hai even made a fortune. They themselves robbed a lot of good things, and with the rewards from the emperor, they all became rich and handsome.The emperor also allowed them to return to their hometowns. Although many of them have no parents, their hometowns are still there, and their parents are still there. soldier" view.

It has to be said that when Fulin was in power, the military pay was quite high, in fact, it was because the country was rich.Whether it is by sea or by land, many people are needed to guard them. The business of the escort agency has improved unprecedentedly, and naturally there have been many disputes.Fulin then set up a department under the Ministry of War to manage bodyguard bureaus. Regular bodyguard bureaus across the country have to pass an exam and get a certificate before they can walk.The bodyguards of the Escort have to train intensively for a period of time every year to exercise their fists and feet, so as not to disappoint the client's entrustment.

This is of course a great income.The courtiers have become numb to the emperor's endless ways to make money. Anyway, it is a good thing to be able to make money, not to mention that the emperor did not compete with the people for profit, nor did he keep building palaces, let alone To let the relative of the favorite concubine occupy a high position to show off his power, at most, he prefers Dolbo more. For an emperor, this is already quite good.Therefore, as long as Fulin's proposal is not too excessive, the courtiers usually agree with it.Raising military pay and cracking down on the army is also implemented in this way.

The military has always been a hard place.Under the influence of Fulin back then, Dorgon also used a tough method to manage. At that time, the Eight Banners were also able to fight and resist, and endured hardships and stood hard work.It's just that with the passage of time, the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners has gradually weakened. Instead, the green battalion and the firearms battalion, which are dominated by Han people, have emerged.

The control of firearms is very strict. After all, this thing is too lethal and small in size, so no one can see it hidden in the boot.The Manchus are an ethnic minority. When firearms were first released, the clan signed a letter, not allowing the Han people to get a little bit of it.Fulin seldom opposed the clan on such matters, so he agreed.However, many children in the Eight Banners had a musket attached to their waist, and then went outside to show off their power, and there were even incidents of killing people with a musket.Fulin was furious and wanted to deal with it, but these people were all related, so there was no way to kill them.Fulin simply experimented with the conscription behavior of later generations, and introduced a strict firearms management system. Anyone who fights with firearms privately will be strictly dealt with.At the beginning, the clans were not happy. Fulin directly distributed some of the shares of Shanglu to them, and the distribution was uneven. Their attention was immediately drawn by Shanglu, and they didn't have any extra thoughts to deal with firearms. .

After more than ten years, whether it is the management of firearms or the conscription, everything seems to be slowly getting on the right track, but the problem of the army has reappeared.

In the past, the army used methods such as empty pay to make money, and now they do it, but there are many more tricks.The emperor attached great importance to the construction of the army, the status of the military officer was much higher, and there were many ways to get money.Fulin absolutely cannot tolerate it, but it is undoubtedly a very difficult thing to move the knife to the army.

"Cousin, you haven't had a good rest for several days." Ren Na walked slowly behind him and gently pressed his temples, "The imperial court is always busy, your body is the most important thing of."

Fulin patted her hand and sighed: "There are just too many things. Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion."

Ren Na looked at the strands of white in her husband's braids, her heart ached, her eyes turned red, and she was afraid of being discovered, so she secretly wiped away the tears.After being husband and wife for so long, Fulin can know the tricks of his queen without turning around, and smiled helplessly: "You, at such an age, you still look like a child."

Ren Na pursed her lips: "In front of others, I am the empress of a country, so I am very majestic."

Fulin stretched, stood up, hugged her, and said with a smile: "I listen to you, go out with me for a walk."

The imperial garden in autumn is full of golden colors, against the blue sky, it is refreshing.Fulin walked slowly, while Ren Na babbled at the side: "It should be snowing in Horqin at this time. In fact, it is very good to go hunting in this kind of weather. Doerbo and Big Brother went out for a few days It's time for the second horse. The elder brother especially took a fancy to Dolbo's falcon named Feilei, so he thought of ways to ask him for it, and even made a fuss with the second elder brother. Now the two brothers are working together Come to play tricks on Dolbo, that kid complains every time he sees me, but he is still an elder."

That falcon belongs to Dorgon.Fulin remembered very clearly.At that time, Dorgon Maodong, in order to coax him to go out, ordered people to find the best falcons everywhere, and offered them treasures if they were not wild.Dorgon liked this kind of thing the most, and his spirit immediately came up. He wanted to tame the falcon himself, but accidentally got a wing, and half of his face was blue.He was very angry at the time, and wanted to pluck the eagle and stew it, but Dorgon laughed from the sidelines, saying that the older he got, the more he looked like a child.

Now, my uncle is gone.Fulin felt a pain in his heart, and the beautiful scenery in his eyes lost all color.He let out a long sigh: "Let's go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, call all the children, and have dinner with Er Niang today."

The "children" in Fulin's mouth included Dolbo besides his own, although in the eyes of the Qing people, Dolbo was old enough to get married.Fulin didn't have any rules of "eating without words", Bumbutai was kind and loving, and the children were quite relaxed in front of them. Doerbo immediately sued the emperor, saying that Fuquan always robbed him of his things, and that Fuquan was busy. After retorting, the children chattered very lively. After talking, they talked about Jing'er's errand.

Jing E immediately began to complain.Originally, he was doing quite well, but there was a control subject by his side.Coral is a genius at learning languages. Whether it is French or Turkish, he has learned very quickly. Now he can have simple conversations with foreign envoys. Faced with the fact that he is not as good as his sister, he often feels depressed on his own.

Fulin laughed loudly: "My daughter is amazing. If you are willing, I will reserve a place for you in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs so that you can also serve the country."

Shan Shan's eyes lit up immediately, and she rushed to Fulin's side immediately: "Ama, you are not joking!"

"Yes, you are not joking!"

Bumbutai scolded: "Emperor, don't mess around. Coral is twelve years old, she is a big girl, and she should get married in two years. You have allowed her to learn this and that all these years, but you just don't want to learn from female workers. She's so big that she can't even make a purse. It's time to temper her temper and let her learn what girls should do."

Hearing the words "marry", Coral blushed at first, but after listening to it, she forgot even her embarrassment, and whispered: "Ama promised me, Ama-jun is not joking..."

Fulin couldn't see her precious daughter showing such aggrieved appearance, and immediately began to defend her shortcomings: "Huanhu is still young, how could I be willing to marry her so early. Besides, many foreign envoys came with their wives, She doesn’t know official language, so she can’t be received by officials, right? Coral has a high status and can still do things, so she happened to show up.”

Bumbutai sighed: "Okay, listen to the emperor. You, just get used to her, and see what you can get used to!"

Coral was happy, but the boys felt unhappy.Although Yongqian and Yaliqi have also grown up, in the hearts of Fuquan and Jinger, only Shanhu is their little sister.Now, this little tail who has been playing behind them has grown up and can still do things. Huang Ama still wants to reserve a place for her in the court. It's too much, and she doesn't take our brothers seriously!

Several children discussed and discussed, and they really wanted to do a big business.Just at this time, Li Hai's army returned home in fine clothes, and both the people and the court were full of curiosity about the navy.There happened to be a caravan going out to sea from Tianjinwei, and a naval escort was invited. Duoerbo's brain became hot, and he pulled Fulin to decide to secretly join the army together.

The two children are well planned.First he said to go out to play, then he got rid of the guards, changed his clothes, hid the money next to his body, then wiped his face black, and ran to the caravan to say that he would fight.They were well-nourished, tall, and strong. When the caravan was short of manpower, the two children managed to get in.

This is the day of stabbing.

The prince and prince disappeared, the capital was almost turned upside down, and there was no news.It was not until seven days later that Fuquan's personal eunuch handed over a letter tremblingly, saying that Fuquan had specially instructed him on the day he disappeared that he had to take it out at this time.

Fulin wished he could kick the little eunuch to death, and then send troops to pull those two ignorant bastards back and put them in confinement.Is the sea so fun?He also said that he was going to experience the people's sentiments, private visits on Weibo!

Fulin immediately sent troops to chase after the merchant ship, and made sure to bring back the children head and tail. At the same time, he severely reprimanded the guards and sent all their personal servants to prison.

Things always go for the worst.Due to the favorable wind, the merchant ship sailed very fast, and the military ship chased all the way, but encountered several groups of pirates who avenged Su Abao.It was not until near Malacca that the warships caught up with the merchant ships. Unexpectedly, they alarmed the Portuguese troops stationed there.

The Portuguese were terrified, thinking that the Qing Dynasty was coming to mess things up, so they immediately put themselves into battle and prepared to fight.And Li Hai, the leader of the army, was a rough man. Seeing this, he thought that the prince had fallen into the hands of the Portuguese, so he sent someone over to scold him.The Portuguese were baffled, but they did not dare to fight casually with the Qing army. Instead, they directly controlled the local supplying Qing merchant ships, and prepared to use this as a condition to negotiate with the Qing—unfortunately, Fuquan and Dolbo , were also controlled together.
