Road to Shunzhi

Myanmar and Wu Sangui have enmity.As a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, they believed that they were the master of the Ming Dynasty, and they did not take the Qing Dynasty seriously.At the same time, when the Nanming government was beaten and fled everywhere, someone secretly made a deal with Myanmar, hoping to get Myanmar's support.Burma was the Toungoo Dynasty at the time, and it was considered powerful. King Ping Dagli of Burma was also very greedy for the Yunnan area of ​​the Qing Dynasty.At that time, it was the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and no imperial court could manage this place. Myanmar was just about to encroach on some land, and Wu Sangui came.

Wu Sangui was not easy to mess with. He quickly pacified Yunnan, respected the traditions of ethnic minorities, established chieftains in various places, and established a military system.The villages are connected with each other, but if one is invaded, other villages will send troops to help, and the small Burmese army that explored the way has been wrapped up several times.

Pindagli was honest.Anyway, the Qing Dynasty and his well water did not interfere with the river water, and everyone lived in peace.But Wu Sangui didn't think so.He was King Pingxi of the Qing Dynasty, and he was also a second minister in the eyes of many former Mingwen people, and he was scolded quite badly.When the Burmese were defeated, they also scolded him like this. Wu Sangui was angry: Why!I have worked so hard to come to the Yunnan-Guizhou area, and finally settled down here, I am very tired!Forget about those sour Confucians from the previous Ming Dynasty, you are not from our country, so why do you still scold me?If you scold again, if you scold again, I will beat you!

Therefore, Wu Sangui stationed troops on the border between Dali and Tengyue, planted fields and raised flowers, and had trade relations with Myanmar. Where did jade and jadeite come from? Although jadeite was not worth much, it was better to have it than nothing.Then, when the farming is slack, go to fight and grab things, and live a good life.They are also very measured, and they don't rob too much every time, so that the people in Myanmar will not be too poor to survive.After a long time, the Burmese residents on the border also knew this rule, and spontaneously organized tribute, sending things to Wu Sangui twice a year, in exchange for a year of peace.

Myanmar is different from the Qing Dynasty in that its territory is not that large, and the capital city Awa quickly learned about the border affairs.Pindagli was very angry, so he also increased the number of people at the border.

The two sides confronted each other, and the previous trade relationship was also interrupted.The interruption of business routes is not a good thing for both parties.Pingda Gree was going to fight Wu Sangui to the end, but his younger brother Mangbai disagreed.Mangbai meant to be soft with the Qing Dynasty, to be a vassal state, and it would be good to rely on a big tree, so he secretly sent someone to the Qing Dynasty, preparing to secretly meet the emperor, expressing his surrender, and hoped that the emperor would support him King of Burma.

Wu Sangui learned the news in advance.Of course he didn't want the purse to disappear, and it happened to be the empress' Qianqiu, so he sent someone to deliver an elephant to get the support of the court and bring down Burma.

Fulin didn't know the inside story, but simply considered it from the perspective of national strength.In such a big country, there will always be disasters, and he is used to it.At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Central Plains experienced the Little Ice Age, followed by wars, and it is still in the recovery period. From time to time, he wants to exempt taxes here and there, hoping to restore people's livelihood.Indeed, a lot of money came from shipping, but most of the money was spent on education and firearms research and development, and he really didn't have any money left to go to war.

The cost of San Francisco is also quite huge. Of course, compared with the history, it is much better.However, the San Francisco must be withdrawn, and Fulin planned to withdraw from the San Francisco after handling the salt and iron affairs in the south of the Yangtze River.As for now, if Wu Sangui wants to fight Burma, he will go to war, but don't get involved with him.Firstly, he had no money; secondly, he didn't want the court troops to have too much involvement with Wu Sangui's army; thirdly, he didn't want his firearms to show their true colors in front of Wu Sangui.

Just as the reply to Wu Sangui was sent, the Dalai Lama's envoys went to Beijing.

Fulin doesn't believe in any religion, no matter what religion.Although he has experienced such incredible things as crossing, he still refuses to pin his life on religion.What is good at the top must be good at the bottom. Huang Taiji believes in the Yellow Sect, and most of the tribes on the grassland also believe in the Yellow Sect. They give lamas the highest honor, temples, cattle, sheep, land, slaves and women.But now, Fulin is the emperor.

The lamas, the living Buddhas, and the living Buddhas deeply felt the blow brought to them by an unbelieving emperor.The Mongolian tribe has two princesses, Yatu and Atu, the elder sister of the emperor and the daughter of Bumbutai.The emperor angrily killed his son-in-law for another sister, Aya, and everyone remembers the abolition of the son-in-law's family. They deeply understand the fact that the emperor is a sister-in-law. In addition, these two girls are also very powerful. They live in the forehead, and also control the tribe's cattle and sheep and almost all internal affairs. No one dares to underestimate them.The emperor didn't respect the lama enough, and the two princesses were the same, but there was no so-called retribution, and the longer they lived, the better. Princess Yatu gave birth to three sons and two daughters, and Princess Atu gave birth to two sons and two daughters. They always give some rewards, and the rewards are even more like a mountain every year and festival.

Everyone on the grassland is watching.In their view, the fate of the two princesses is extremely good, and it must be God's blessing.These two god-blessed people didn't treat the lamas as gods, so they should be fine if they learn a little bit, right?

The Mongolian tribes donate a lot of property to the living Buddhas every year, which has long been a heavy burden for them.Some lamas even claim to bring auspiciousness to women from disasters. As long as a girl in the tribe gets married, they will try their best to break the bride's body.The Bahrain Ministry also encountered such a lama. When Atu learned about it, he escorted him to Beijing without mercy. The emperor immediately said that he was a demon monk and beheaded him for public display.

There are many such things, and everyone's respect for the lamas has also declined. The lamas who were originally rich and earn money every year began to become poor.

The Dalai Lama's envoys came here just to open up trade routes.From Mongolia, you can go to Tsarist Russia by trade route, and after passing through Tsarist Russia, you can also take a detour to the European continent.The Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia have always had business contacts. Although this road is far away and the money is not as fast as the sea, it is safe and stable.Naturally, Fulin couldn't let it go, so he sent Huang Shang to go this way, and let both princesses participate in the shares.

The huge benefits brought by the trade routes made the Horqin Grassland quickly rich. Everyone was envious, and the Dalai Lama was one of them.Fulin didn't have any objection to this kind of thing, but proposed that no matter how much their income was or whether they were losing money, the imperial court would take [-]% of the tax.The Dalai Lama had no choice but to agree, and people had to bow their heads under the eaves.But Fulin didn't know that his disapproving attitude towards religion caused him certain troubles in the future.A large number of lamas migrated from Mongolia to Qinghai and Tibet, and finally formed a unique force.

Now, his troubles are very festive. A while ago, Liao Xia, a good son-in-law candidate in the capital, had an audience and said cheekily that he had taken a fancy to a girl and wanted the emperor to marry him.

"I'm already twenty. Before I devoted myself to studying, I always wanted to establish a career first and then start a family. Now that I have received the gift from the emperor, I can finally be worthy of my ancestors. Of course, I will think about starting a family." Behind the demeanor of an exiled immortal, Liao Xia is A very shameless weirdo, kneeling directly in front of Fulin, disturbing him with his private affairs.

Fulin really wanted to kick him.He's discussing something, isn't he?This guy came over in a hurry, and he thought that something great happened, which made him nervous, and the reason for a long time was to give a marriage?Fan Chengmo, Fan Wencheng's son, the pre-appointed future bachelor, stood aside, the corners of his mouth twitching.

Liao Xia had a playful smile on his face: "Your majesty should treat this minister as loving! If this minister misses this girl, he will be alone for the rest of his life. The emperor certainly doesn't want to see it?"

No, I want to order you to become a monk right now!Fulin complained in his heart, but he was still curious about the girl Liao Xia liked, and asked coldly, "Whose family's daughter was seen by you and suffered such a great crime?"

Liao Xia smiled: "When Wei Chen first came to the capital, she was the daughter of someone who rented a house. Her surname is Qin. She is a daughter of a good family."

Well, even the Jueluo family wanted to marry you with a concubine daughter, but you actually fell in love with the daughter of a small landlord?Fulin felt a little helpless, he had no choice but to meet such a thick-skinned person who wanted to reuse him.He directly kicked him to the Compassion Palace. Bumbutai is very satisfied with his life now, and he likes to be a matchmaker, so let her do it.

Out of curiosity, the Queen Mother would naturally call Miss Qin into the palace to have an audience.It is said that Miss Qin's appearance is only delicate, but she has a steady and dignified manner. Although she is not well dressed, she is also clean, which is quite good.Coupled with the smirk on Liao Xia's face when he mentioned Miss Qin, Bumbutai ordered Tanhualang to marry the daughter of a small landlord.

A decree broke the hearts of many ladies in Beijing.Liao Xia thought it was quite good: from his observation these days, the emperor likes straight ministers.His shortcoming is that he has no foundation, but his advantage is also here. Sanji, who was reused by the emperor, is also without foundation.With his status, he couldn't refuse the marriage of the Manchu nobles, and if he agreed, he would be tied to the warship of the Manchu nobles, and the advantage would disappear.It's better to choose Miss Qin, who also has no roots. Although she can't help her in her official career, she won't hold him back. He can continue his career as a direct minister.What's more, he also likes Miss Qin very much. The queen mother personally bestowed the marriage, and it is decent to say it.

He was right.Before that, he had been a small Hanlin in the Hanlin Academy, and his status was neither high nor low, which was a bit embarrassing, because it was related to his marriage.There are too many variables in his marriage, one day is uncertain, and Fulin dare not use him one day.Now he has figured it out by himself. A few days after the Queen Mother's decree, Fulin ordered him to enter the South Study Room to do a pen post.

Although this is only a transfer at the same level, what is the South Study Room, the political center of the entire country.Liao Xia was overjoyed, he knew that his step was not wrong, and he also vaguely discovered what method to use to win the emperor's favor.

The author has something to say:

Fan Chengmo, Liao Xia, it will be the stage for their younger generation
