I became a group pet after dressing as nine elder brothers

The courtiers who received the imperial edict hurried to the palace.

Seeing that all the courtiers and officials around them, everyone in Dongnuange, they observed from left to right that all the courtiers were present, their hearts were beating violently as if they were about to jump out of their chests.

Everyone's hearts were hung high.

What is the big problem with this posture?Is Junggar aggressively invading again?Or are there White Lotus Sect rebellions everywhere?

Among them, the calmest ones were the princes.

They instantly thought of what happened to them last time, and they couldn't help wondering if there was something wrong in the barracks again—they couldn't help but glance at Prince Gong Changning: Say?Did you commit a crime again?

Prince Gong Changning was dumbfounded.

Facing the gazes of the lords, he is also Monk Zhang Er who is puzzled and doesn't know anything!Obviously everything was normal when I left the barracks!If he wanted to know who dared to make small moves after he left, Prince Gong Changning would have to cut him with a stick.

He was terrified, and as soon as he entered the East Nuan Pavilion, he waited for the greetings to finish, and then he stared at the emperor eagerly.The other courtiers were not much better, and all of them cheered up and listened to the emperor's words.

Kangxi smiled happily.

He not only signaled the palace people to move the stools into the hall, but also asked many courtiers to sit down, and finally he did not forget to let the palace people come up with tea and snacks, which made many courtiers feel like a spring breeze.

Everyone's heart fell slowly.

Of course, they were not completely relieved yet, and took a small sip of the tea cup, fearing that the emperor's shocking words would make them feel uncomfortable before the imperial court.

"I ordered all the ministers to come here to discuss the suspension of negotiations in the Raksha Kingdom." Half of the emperor's words fell into their ears, and all the courtiers were shocked immediately, and listened carefully to the emperor's continuation.

Compared with their seriousness, Kangxi seemed much more at ease: "The Raksha people have been domineering and domineering at the border for many years. They invaded the border villages and towns many times, set fire to robbery and plundered the people as slaves... This time I decided not to bear it any longer. Not only can’t go inward, but the area we belong to should be pushed out to Lake Baikal.”

He said it easily.

But the courtiers present gasped in unison.No one thought that the emperor let everyone enter the palace this time for the sake of negotiation. Lake Baikal is located farther away from the Chechen Khan Banner. To put it bluntly, even if it is included in its own domain, it is very difficult to manage. area.

Many courtiers looked at each other.

Not long after, Ji Ertab, Minister of the Ministry of War, stood up first, and he cupped his hands and replied, "May I ask the emperor, what is the mystery of Lake Baikal?"

The name of Lake Baikal means abundance.

From the name, it can be seen that the status of Lake Baikal in the hearts of local people should not be underestimated.There are excellent pastures, vast water sources, abundant aquatic plants, fish and birds. If we say the only shortcoming is that it is cold and freezing, there is no one inhabited within a hundred miles, let alone jackals, tigers and leopards. Appear.

The advantage of the ranch alone can't impress everyone's hearts.

You must know that the Qing Dynasty is sitting on the vast pasture of Mongolia, and Lake Baikal is nothing compared to Mongolia.

Therefore, in the previous negotiations, although the officials in charge of the negotiations proposed: "Nerchinsk, Yaksa, Heilongjiang and the upper and lower rivers and rivers that lead to this all belong to our land, and should not be abandoned to Eros." Many courtiers in the hall still hold the attitude that this area is barren and poor, there is no more than one piece, and a lot less, and it doesn’t matter if you can get the best food or not.

Faced with the doubts of Jiertab, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Kangxi said in a deep voice, "If there is a coal mine?"

"...Lake Baikal is located in a remote place. Even with coal mines, it is difficult to transport it to other places. The construction of roads alone is probably an astronomical figure." Ji Ertabu, Minister of the Ministry of War, shook his head seriously after thinking for a while.

"Lord Giltab is right."

"That's right, Your Majesty. Although the carrying capacity of the four-wheeled carriage has been greatly increased, if you want to transport coal mines, the loss outweighs the gain."

The courtiers echoed eagerly.

The price of war horse breeding is high, where can it be used to make such consumables?Although the four-wheeled carriage has increased the speed of communication between cities, it still cannot reach the level of popularization and perfection. This has a great relationship with the high price of war horses and the difficulty of cultivating them.

Seeing that the courtiers were worried, Kangxi had a faint smile on his lips: "Then what if there are still gold mines?"

Gold mine! ?

This understatement was like a bolt from the blue exploding in everyone's ears, and the courtiers who raised objections just now were dumbfounded for a moment.

Gold mine!

Gold mine! ?

Gold mine! ? ? ?The entire East Nuan Pavilion was quiet for a moment, and then it was like a boiling oil pan, and everyone was in an uproar.

There are not many gold mines in the Qing Dynasty, and even a very small number of them can be mined. The emperor firmly brought them here to say... Could it be that they have been discovered?

Kangxi slowly spit out a series of minerals.

Hearing these contents, the breathing of all the courtiers present gradually became heavy——Can Lake Baikal be given to the Raksha Kingdom?Of course not!Even if you hide it yourself and don't mine it, it's better than giving it to others, right?

The face of Alani, the Minister of Lifan Academy who was in charge of the negotiation, was flushed red.He quickly stood up and shouted loudly: "This Lake Baikal has been our territory since ancient times, and the emperor is the Mongolian Khan. Naturally, this place belongs to us. How can it belong to those red-haired barbarians!?"

With the opening of the Lifan Academy's Shangshu Alani, the remaining courtiers also enthusiastically signed up-it's just a war!Who is afraid of whom?Everyone's eyes fell on Dai Zi, the current servant of the Ministry of War, Ji Erta, Minister of the Ministry of War, patted him on the shoulder warmly: "Master Dai, you have to work hard this time!"

As soon as his words fell, Kangxi's eyes also turned to Dai Zi: "How is the current configuration of the snap-on bayonet?"

Dai Zi's face was serious.

He stood up and replied respectfully: "Reporting to the emperor, all the armies in the Northwest have been fully equipped...and some of my subordinates have made new discoveries."

Everyone's breathing stagnates.

This is something that everyone never expected. As Dai Zi revealed the new designs of his subordinate craftsmen, Kangxi was pleasantly surprised and at the same time took the idea of ​​the fourth elder brother Yinzhen into his heart.

Without Dai Zi, I am afraid that no one would be able to make a 28-ball firecracker, let alone a snap-on bayonet, and it would be impossible to find talented and wise people from subordinate craftsmen to develop a new generation of guns and artillery.

Kangxi's heart trembled even more.

You must know that not long after Dai Zi researched it, the English ambassador who came to visit also presented a gift from their country: a second-class tap fire with 20 pipa scabbard guns. point similarities.

If you don't think so.

I'm afraid that one day those foreigners from overseas will break into the country with guns and guns, and I'm still in a daze—isn't it right what I said before that I'm self-confident?

Kangxi put the ideas of "martial arts competition" and "high reward" into his mind, and then discussed with the courtiers how to negotiate.

With the support of force and the carrot hanging in front, the original negotiation standard was immediately overturned, and Kangxi even appointed Prince Kang Jieshu to personally take a new batch of envoys to Ninggu Pagoda to guard against Rakshasa The envoy of the country repented.

Golovin, the representative of the Raksha State Mission who was still on the border waiting to negotiate with Galdan, never imagined that the next batch of officials from the Qing Dynasty would bring him such a surprise!

He was still sitting in the tent, and he was very happy about the military news from the northwest: "Is this news confirmed?"

"Reporting to my lord, this is the news sent back by our people. It is guaranteed to be true! Nagardan went straight into the Temuer area, beat the Taiji of Natushetuhan, and led The army crossed the Tula River and entered Chechen Khan’s grazing land. From a small point of view, it may not be a problem to unify all parts of Mongolia. We don’t need to negotiate with the Qing emperor at all, and they may not be able to take care of themselves soon!” Luo Sha who came to pass the message With a look of joy on the face of the Chinese, they answered excitedly.

Golovin, the representative of the Rakshasa Mission, was overjoyed.

He walked around the tent three times with his hands behind his back, stroking his long beard and showing a smug smile: "If this news is true, I will definitely report this to His Royal Highness Sophia when I return to Moscow, and reward you with a title."

"Thank you, Mr. Golov."

The Tsarist smiled happily: "All this is thanks to Mr. Golovin's coup."

"Where is there any clever trick? It's just that these Qing people are too stupid! It's just a slight change of appearance and they don't know your identities at all. You are really stupid!"

The Raksha people next to him smiled flatteringly.

He reached out and took off the fluffy curly hair on the top of his head, exposing his bald forehead, braided the hair that was thrown behind him, and said with a triumphant smile: "It's just dressed like this, and he speaks fluent Manchu and Mongolian." , Those officers and soldiers didn’t even come up to interrogate them.”

Golov laughed: "Only two idiots, Alexander Danilovich Menshikov and Fyodor Matveyevich Apraksin, would consider this country a threat... "

He took a puff from the bong: "When I return to Moscow, I will definitely impeach these two people to Her Majesty Catherine—cowardly things!"

Galdan beat Temur and Tushetu Khan and Chechen Khan were introduced to the capital three days later.

If you have a good New Year, you don't want to live it alone.

Kangxi had no choice but to convene a meeting of courtiers immediately. First, he sent Alani, Minister of the Lifan Academy, to Tuxietuhan to resettle the Tuxietuhan tribe who had rushed to defect, and then deployed military defenses behind Guihua City. Pave the road, and strive to speed up the passage of grain and grass in the rear.

The entire imperial court entered the war preparations.

The elder brother Yinti packs his bags. He is about to follow Prince Yu Fuquan to the northwest, or he will usher in the first battle in his life.

still have a question.

Seeing that the war is about to start, the originally planned southern tour has to be temporarily suspended, but the plan has already been well prepared: go to check the achievements of river governance, observe the people's conditions, and learn about the administration of officials. I went to Fujian to check the rubber plantations.

A large sum of money has already been used to prepare, so is it a failure at this moment?After Kangxi thought about it, he made a jaw-dropping decision.

That is to let the prince tour the south for him.
