There is a big problem with my harem [Qing Chuan]

"I ordered you and Dai Aiqing to transport the cannon to the camp in the suburbs of Beijing today, and I will ask Wang Ziteng to conduct a secret test outside the capital with you later. The soldiers in the camp who have been exposed to the new artillery fire will not come out without my order. camp!"

Kangxi said in a deep voice, "I will send Tianshu to go there with you. I want the news after the test to appear in front of me as soon as possible. It is absolutely not allowed to leak out. Do you understand?"

"The servant understands!"

Kangxi nodded, and then thought that he had missed mentioning one thing that is indispensable for war - that is, grenades/bombs.

He described it to Dai Zi carefully: "A few days ago, I thought of another method. If a sufficient amount of gunpowder is stuffed into the pig iron pipe of the size above the gun, then except for a place where the lead wire leaks out, the rest They all blocked the entrance with wooden handles..."

Dai Zi stood there. Gradually, he stood up straight and subconsciously leaned forward, his expression became extremely strange or greedily looking at Kangxi's gesticulating fingers.

"Wonderful! Really wonderful—!" Dai Zi murmured, "Your Majesty, I understand! I will leave now!"

He just said his farewell according to the etiquette, and then hurriedly ran towards the outside of the hall, leaving the guards with blank faces behind.

"Don't follow up, wait carefully!" Liang Jiugong said quickly, and the guards realized it, and hurriedly ran over.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Dai really doesn't understand etiquette..." Liang Jiugong couldn't help complaining.

"He is a firearms idiot, and he puts all his thoughts on firearms, and the mundane things are naturally weaker by three points." Kangxi nodded calmly, otherwise he would not let the four guards follow Dai Zi to serve him .

It is no wonder that Dai Zi was so unknown before being excavated. After all, it is difficult for a person who is crazy about firearms but knows nothing about the world to win the favor of his superiors in the officialdom.

"Your Majesty." Standing aside, Prince Yu looked stern, and said slowly with some hesitation and affirmation, "This firearm is powerful, and now almost all the research is conducted by Dai Zi, and he is only a Han... The slave thinks that it should be Manchu officials manage everything!"

"Fuquan, I know your worries. But you must remember that you don't have to be suspicious when you hire people, and you don't need to say this when you are suspicious. Besides...whether they are Manchus or Han people, they are all members of our Qing Dynasty.

Speaking of the difference between Manchus and Hans, the number of Manchus is only a tenth of that of Hans. In just a few decades after entering the customs, the habits of most people are gradually assimilating with Hans... There will be no change in ten or twenty years , What about after a hundred or even two or three hundred years? "

Kangxi nodded and spoke calmly, the clarity in his eyes seemed to be reflected in Fuquan's eyes: "If the weather in my world is smooth and the weather is good, there are thousands of warehouses and boxes of food, and the common people can have enough food and clothing, how many people are willing to rebel?"

"... Your majesty is holy!" Prince Yu lowered his head slightly.

"I'm not holy, that's why I'll entrust all the security work to Fuquan you. I hope you can manage the entire firearms site perfectly, and you will never allow this information to be leaked!"

Kangxi looked at Fuquan meaningfully, and said word by word: "I have arranged guards by Dai Zi's side. Under any circumstances, Dai Zi must be safe, do you understand?"

"Yes! The servant guarantees the death of the item!" Prince Yu knew the seriousness of this matter, and he readily accepted Kangxi's trust without hesitation, and immediately knelt down to accept the order.

"Well, there is no need to be polite between us brothers, let's get up."

"Yes!" Prince Yu stood up, and said cheekily, "Your Majesty, if you tell the slave to be polite, the slave will just say so! Can you share one of these short-handled guns with the slave?"

"...After the first batch of goods comes out, I will agree." Kangxi looked at Prince Yu with sparkling eyes, only a small tail flicked desperately on the back of his buttocks, his face was covered with black lines, and he said speechlessly.

"The servant bows to the emperor for his kindness!"

After Prince Yu left, there was a group of Ministers from the Ministry of Industry who reported on farming in the outskirts of the city, and finally Yin Song Wenyun of Shuntian Prefecture and Prince Teng, the nine-door admiral, who were waiting anxiously.

What the two of them reported was naturally about the people from the Western Regions who were discovered by Kangxi yesterday.After interrogation by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, this person was indeed from the Junggar Khanate.

According to the order of the leader Galdan, they came to Beijing this time to celebrate the Emperor's Longevity Day, and secondly, they wanted to secretly find out the real situation of the Qing Dynasty. .

If there were no accidents, the visitor originally wanted to bribe some officials so that he could determine the direction of the Qing army in the future. Unfortunately, his luck was really bad. On the first day he entered the city, he encountered Kangxi going out. He failed to do anything and was arrested on the spot.

Like the Junggar Khanate, how many people are still secretly spying on the Qing Dynasty behind the scenes?

Following the two people's reports, the smiles on Kangxi's face gradually faded, and when the two people's reports ended, his complexion was already full of gloom.

"Where are the rest of the Junggar Khanate?"

Since we are here to celebrate a birthday, there should be more people here. We have to guard against the ambitious Junggar Khanate!

"Returning to the emperor, this person said that the rest of the Junggar Khanate is still about three days away from the capital. I have already sent a team of people along the official road to look for them this morning!" Prince Teng replied.

"Very good! When you have news, hurry up and report to the palace!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

"Wang Ziteng stay here, Song Aiqing should leave first." Kangxi said, waiting for Song Wenyun to leave respectfully, he got up and walked around the East Nuan Pavilion and stared closely at Wang Ziteng.

Originally, Kangxi was not in a hurry, but the change of the Junggar Khanate and what Dai Zi said, the guns that the Western countries are paying tribute to are not the latest products, these two things cast a shadow on his heart.

The sense of urgency made Kangxi understand that it might not be the Junggar Khanate, but those western countries have already secretly opened their mouths, revealing their long-covered sharp teeth, just wanting to swallow them in one gulp!

The western countries are still far away, so it seems that we can only find a way to deal with the Junggar Khanate first!

From the ninth year of Kangxi to the present, the Junggar Khanate has annexed other nearby tribes from a small tribe until it was called a Khanate, but there have been many changes and wars.

If it weren't for the San Francisco in the past and Taiwan in the future, Kangxi would have liked to clean up with them.Now that he has been recuperating for many years, and the army has recovered from the previous pain, the appearance of the Junggar Khanate's spies is like pulling out the beard on a tiger-it's looking for death!

Wang Ziteng bowed slightly, and waited for the emperor's order.

"Wang Ziteng."

"The minister is here."

"I have one thing for you to do..." Kangxi said slowly, "The affairs of the Junggar Khanate will be handled by Governor Shuntian, and you will go to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing this afternoon.

Prince Yu and Dai Zi will test the power of guns and cannons in the camp.After they confirm that they are correct, I hope you can arrange a round of military performances! "

"...A military exercise?" Wang Ziteng asked with a blank face, "What is a military exercise, Your Majesty?"

"The military exercise is to show the most powerful weapon of the Qing Dynasty in front of those small countries. I hope you can let them know that the Qing Dynasty is stronger and more inviolable than they imagined!" Kangxi said in a meaningful way. .

A trace of doubt flashed in Wang Ziteng's eyes, but he said in a loud voice with a little dissatisfaction: "Your Majesty, I don't think these barbarian small countries can pose any threat to our Qing Dynasty!"

Kangxi smiled slightly, but did not answer directly, but said: "A few days ago, I got a gun from a missionary that is said to be the most powerful gun in the West, and I got a blueprint, which is said to be the most advanced weapon description in the West.

Comparing it with the firearms possessed by the Qing Dynasty, I think it is at most more advanced than the firearms of the Qing Dynasty, but it is not far behind.I handed this over to Dai Zi and asked him to copy it. Guess what happened afterwards? "

Wang Ziteng felt a little uneasy, but he still cupped his hands and said, "I don't know."

"He said that he had seen more advanced guns than this one in Jiangnan, and what he was holding was not my army, but a wealthy family." Kangxi lowered his eyes, "Dai Zi stayed in Jiangnan a few years ago, But I haven't been out of the capital in the past few years."

The blood on Wang Ziteng's face faded.

"If even rich people can get firecrackers when they go to sea, it means that even if the price is expensive and the production quantity is not large, they still want something that they can get. But these missionaries are swearing that now handover The ones given to me are the most advanced weapons."

"Tell me, what does this mean?" Kangxi looked up at Wang Ziteng, a cold and strange smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the words he spoke were even more temperatureless, like a bone-chilling ice cellar.

Wang Ziteng closed his eyes, trembling all over his body, and then said fiercely: "It means that these missionaries and the western countries have something wrong with them... If the Qing Dynasty falls, I'm afraid..."

His lips twitched, but he couldn't utter the last sentence.

"If they knew that the Qing Dynasty had backward firearms and was unable to compete with them at all, then there is no doubt that they would show their sharp teeth and drag the Qing Dynasty into the flames of war again.

Even, more than one country will put greedy minions on Daqing, snatch gold, silver and jewels, and drag the people away as slaves. At that time, Daqing will have a vast land, but it can only be bullied by Western countries! "

Kangxi spoke slowly, his hands on the imperial case slowly clenched into fists.

"Your Majesty, can the firearms developed by Lord Dai really compare with those of the barbarians in the West?" Wang Ziteng asked in a deep voice.

"I believe him." Kangxi nodded slowly, but there was not only a wry smile on his face - even if he put his hope on one person, he had no scruples.

"You go back first, don't forget my order!"

"Yes, I obey the order!" Wang Ziteng looked serious, took two steps back, turned around and immediately left Qianqing Palace, and hurried out of the palace towards the camp on the outskirts of Beijing.

Kangxi sat in the palace, but his eyes were solemn.

The restructuring of imperial examinations and schools is imminent!
