Qing Chuan Yinhu

Yinhu thought for a long time and decided that it would be better to say it in a roundabout way: "Fourth brother, do you think our Qing Dynasty is strong or not?"

"Of course it's strong, why do you ask that?" Yinzhen felt very strange.

Yinhu then asked: "Then is our Qing Dynasty the strongest country in the world?"

"Of course." Yinzhen said affirmatively.

"Since we are the strongest, why did Tsarist Russia dare to beat us? And Galdan refused to obey our leadership."

"Leader?" Yinzhen asked strangely.

"Just disobedience to discipline. In the 15th year of Kangxi, he captured his uncle Chuhubu Ubashi, and in the 18th year of Kangxi he defeated the leader of the Heshuo Te tribe, Oqiertu Khan. Title. This year, he attacked the Tuxietu Khan tribe of Khalkha Mongolia again, which shows his wolfish ambition." Yinhu began to habitually recite the history he knew.

When Yinzhen heard the words, he held Yinhu's hand tightly: "The urgent report at the border, others don't know, how would you know? Huang Ama told you?"

Yinhu secretly said that it was not good, and his fourth brother's paranoia was again committed.Hastily said: "Fourth brother, you scratched me. It wasn't Huang Ama who told me, but I overheard it accidentally. I came to ask you because I didn't understand. Don't tell others, or I will It will be miserable."

Yinzhen couldn't help but find it funny seeing his pitiful appearance.

Seeing the opportunity, Yinhu hurriedly asked: "Fourth Brother hasn't said anything yet, why can't we make the world surrender even though we are so powerful? Whoever refuses to obey discipline, we will beat him up."

Yinzhen shook his head and said, "It's not that easy. To fight a war, you must first pay for the army. Sometimes a battle can empty the national treasury. Moreover, you need food and grass to fight. The daily consumption of food and grass is beyond your imagination. Even if you win a war, you will lose a lot of soldiers, so there is no need for us Huang Ama not to fight lightly."

Yinhu nodded and continued: "The fourth brother said that we are the strongest, so I heard that Tang Ruowang was from Germany before. Is their country strong?"

Yinzhen thought for a while and said, "How can a country that you have never heard of be so powerful?"

Yinhu dissatisfied and said: "Confucius also said that three people must have my teacher. The country is also like this. Tang Ruowang brought us advanced technology back then, so it can be seen that they are still very advanced in at least some aspects."

Yinzhen is not an ignorant person. Think carefully, his eighth younger brother is right, and he doesn't know much about Germany, so how can he draw conclusions so easily?

If in the past Yinzhen would not have considered the unknown Germany, but Yinhu first mentioned the two existences of Tsarist Russia and Galdan who were eyeing the Qing Dynasty, which naturally gave Yinzhen some understanding of the Germany Yinhu said. Prevention awareness.

Yinhu strikes while the iron is hot: "We don't know much about Germany, and we don't even know about the countries around it. If possible, let's send people there to investigate. Don't we know ourselves and the enemy and win every battle? We don't want to fight, just To know more."

Yinzhen thought it was good, but... "Eighth brother, we are still young and don't have much manpower. Your idea is very good, but..."

"Fourth brother, didn't someone recover Taiwan in the 22nd year of Kangxi? He must be very familiar with sailing. Even if you don't need him, you can ask him to recommend some people to visit the sea. And as far as I know, our ceramics, tea, and silk are sold abroad. But they are very marketable, they can go to a relatively nearby place to have a look first, and if they encounter land, they can exchange our things with foreign countries, so that they can make a lot of money." Accidentally, Yinhu and Speak out your thoughts.

"Merchants are just small ways, how can the eighth brother be so greedy for money?" Yinzhen was a little displeased.

Yinhu hurriedly said: "The fourth brother also said that war needs money. We make money only as a means. The important thing is to make the country strong. When we have more money in the future, we can buy as much food as we want. If our country is not enough, we can go abroad to buy it." , then we won’t be afraid that there will be no one who dares to provoke our Qing Dynasty.”

After thinking about it carefully, Yinzhen thought it was feasible, and said, "I'll do it when I invite Huang Ama."

Yinhu thought about it for a while, and thought that his father was still very interested in Western technology, and he himself was a good learner. He should agree to find a few unimportant people to go to sea, and it doesn't cost him much.However, Kangxi is still very resistant to business, so it is better not to provoke him.

Yinhu said: "We just want to see if we can reach Germany by sea, and we want to see what the country of the missionaries is like. We will pay for the expenses ourselves, but we need a ship from the imperial court." Yinhu actually knew that this was the time when Kangxi was busy confronting Gerdan, so he probably didn't have the leisure to ask too much about this unimportant matter.At that time, I and my fourth brother will find another missionary to be an interpreter on board.Well, that's it.

Yinhu talked for a long time, but he didn't really have any important points. There were many things he didn't dare to say clearly, for fear of being suspected by Yinzhen.Now being able to send ships to sea is already considered a big progress.I am still young and have no power, if I want to make a bigger change, let's talk about it when I grow up.But getting Yinzhen to have some interest in the West is a big achievement.

"It's getting late, eighth brother should sleep here." Yinzhen said.

In bed with the future emperor...

"Okay." Yinhu said hastily, others don't have this blessing yet.My fourth brother is a cold person.

Lying on the bed, Yinhu's heart kept beating, but Yinzhen didn't feel much. Although he had never slept with his brothers, the eighth brother was the brother he cared most about, and Huang Ama asked him to teach him calligraphy , There will be many more opportunities to sleep together in the future.

Yinhu fell asleep in a state of excitement and confusion.
