The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

"Uh, no, the two elder brothers dug out the sand ginseng... Fourteenth elder brother said that he is still young and can't dig anything, but he can dig it." Liang Jiugong's mouth twitched: "So he deliberately I dug up the sand ginseng, asked the fourth prince to get the pheasant, and asked the imperial chef to cook this casserole soup for you."

Emperor Kangxi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile: "That's right, I was wrong, how old is he? Not bad, not bad, I know how to be filial to my empress Ama."

"That's right, the thirteenth and fourteenth brothers are going to go to school, and they will be able to learn both civil and military skills in the future." Liang Jiugong can only say this, the child is too young, and he doesn't know how to praise him properly.

On the contrary, Emperor Kangxi rewarded Concubine De with a cup of Buddha jumping over the wall, Concubine Min with a cup of official bird's nest, Brother Si with a dish of roast beef, and Brother [-] and Brother [-] with a dish of dried rice and winter melon ball soup.

The child is still young, so he is very careful about eating, but Kangxi is happy.

He doesn't care about the stutterer, but his mind.

Sure enough, the next day, he went to see Concubine De, and stayed with Concubine De for a whole night for the first time, and did not go to find Concubine Min, a young concubine. Shan just left Ruizhu Courtyard.

In the scorching summer, Xiao Shisi ate a bowl of mung bean soup after taking a nap, went to eat at Erniang's in the evening, and Shisan went to Min Concubine's. Concubine De said to the fourth elder brother who was also called to eat: "You Huang Ama mentioned your marriage, Erniang has no other request, only one thing, you want to have a good child, your Huang Ama agreed."

The fourth elder brother paused for picking up the food, and then continued to pick up the food: "Thank you, my mother."

"You are the eldest son of Yonghe Palace. Once you stand up, your two younger brothers can rely on you, and Er Niang also depends on you." Concubine De asked someone to serve soup for the fourth elder brother: "But Er Niang's family background is not obvious, you There is no other family to rely on, you can only fight for yourself, your wife Fujin... If it is a wealthy family, Er Niang will naturally want it, she is afraid..."

I'm afraid that the other party is from a high-ranking family, so it's not easy to get along with him.

Concubine De herself has no intention of motivating her daughter-in-law, but if the daughter-in-law is not too respectful to her mother-in-law, then she can't let her son divorce his wife, because this is a Fujin, and it is bound to be a marriage bestowed by the emperor.

There has always been only the dead prince Fujin, not the original wife who was divorced.

And there is another characteristic of the Manchus. If their first wife dies, they can only remarry instead of remarrying!

After the death of the concubine of the prince of the Han Dynasty, it is unbelievable for the Manchus to support the side concubine.

Not to mention being taken down by side concubines, concubines and concubines, where are there no women?Why should the woman in my own backyard tell me everything?

What was shown on TV was all deceitful. Little Fourteen was in his own mother's palace. He had met Mrs. Gaoming several times, but he had never talked about remarrying but not rectifying.

"No matter who it is, they are all slaves in front of the Tian family." The fourth elder brother said indifferently: "Besides, the daughter of Huang Ama's marriage must be virtuous and virtuous. Er Niang doesn't have to worry."

It would be good to be filial to my mother, but if not...he also has a lot of ways.

"Okay, Er Niang, don't worry, you will be fifteen in a while, and you are going to marry a wife and have children." Concubine De was very pleased to see her eldest son: "When Shang Qiuluan drives back to the palace, the matter will probably be settled."

Small 14 people are too small to have any say.

But summer is really comfortable in the garden, and even Xiao Shisi begged Kangxi to go swimming after finally meeting Kangxi.

"Why do you want to go swimming?" Kangxi patted his head: "Are you still scared?"

"No, I'm just thinking, I've never seen Huang Ama and his brothers swimming!" Little Fourteen excitedly shook his two little hands: "I didn't see everyone lying on the kang to sleep together, Huang Ama Ma, let's go swimming together, meet each other frankly, and then come back to take a hot bath, and our brothers will sleep with Huang Ama."

He is only five years old, and his thinking logic is a bit confused, no one blames him.

But Kangxi was very curious: "What do you think?"

What kind of mess is this?What's going on in this kid's head all day long?

"I heard from Ma Bao that many men bathe in the lake to catch fish in summer, and Gao Xi said that there are eight brothers in their family, and they sleep on the same kang with their parents!" Little Fourteen clapped his hands Pointing her finger, she said, "Nurse Sun said that the same is true for the children in her family. Although they don't share a house with their parents, they all live on the same kang. Huang Ama, we are all brothers, why can't we live in the same bed?" What about a kang?"

"Poor people don't have so many places, not so many heated kangs, and not so much firewood and charcoal fires to burn kangs, and they don't have more bedding to cover them to keep warm, so they naturally have to sleep together, not to mention that we are crowded together in this summer. Wouldn’t it be hot if we slept together?” Kangxi laughed when he heard this: “As for swimming, it’s okay, but there are places to play in the water here, so you don’t need to go to the lake.”

"Then let's go together?" Little Fourteen really wanted a group of brothers to play naked in the water, to see who would dare to keep laughing at his breaststroke.

"You brothers want to learn, you and Xiao Shisan go!" Kangxi said: "I have someone take you to play, there are people who are good at water, teach you two to swim."

"Okay, okay!" Little Fourteen was happy.

Sure enough, during the hottest time, during the dog days, Little Thirteen and Little Fourteen were escorted to a place called Qingyi Pavilion.

This is a remote place, but Changchun Garden is the favorite place of Emperor Kangxi, even if it is a remote place, it is magnificent, and here is a row of bluestone rooms, half of which are covered with fish scales Ordinary glass windows, the transparency of the glass at this time is not good, some blue turbidity, not very transparent, but these glasses are all made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, although the color is not good, but after being fired with colored glaze , only as big as a palm, and oval in shape, it can be used as a tile.

So much so that this Qingyi Pavilion lives up to its name, half of which is transparent to sunlight, or light, half of which is built of bluestone, and in the middle is a clear water pool built of bluestone.

Swimming in the pool here in summer is not to mention how beautiful it is!

Moreover, the water here is warm, naturally warmed by the sun, and there is a guard with a Jiangnan accent who acts as a coach for the two children.

"Slave Hao Siwen, please greet the thirteenth elder brother, and the fourteenth elder brother." This short, dark bodyguard is unremarkable and has a different accent from the north, but he is only wearing a pair of big underpants. Arms, legs, chest and abdomen are all masculine.

"Hauswen?" Little Fourteen looked at this macho-looking man: "You are really, so gentle!"

This name doesn't suit me very well.

"Where are you from? Why do you speak with such an accent?" Xiao Shisan was very honest, not as narrow-minded as Xiao Shisi.

"The servant is the pioneer of the green camp in Jiangnan Road, Yiergenjueluo family, and then Jianba was transferred to the guard camp, and now he is a second-class guard." Hao Siwen is a real person, and he reported his family: "The slave's home is in Jinmen by the West Lake in Hangzhou, Jiangnan. Under the city wall is the Zhen Guo General's Mansion."

Hearing his words, Xiao Shishi was very surprised.

The Manchus are basically only in Hebei and the Northeast, and there are even very few Manchus in Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Shandong.

However, in the south, there is a full city, which is like a city within a city. Why?Because the massacre and oppression of the Han people in the Central Plains and Jiangnan since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs was no less than that of the Japanese invaders, such as the three massacres in Jiading in Yangzhou in ten days, so the ethnic hatred is very deep.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, most of the anti-Qing uprisings were in the south, such as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the [-] Revolution.

At that time, the Han people launched a bloody revenge against the Manchus. A large number of Manchus were killed. Most of the remaining Manchus changed their surnames and pretended to be Hans. Therefore, there are almost no Manchus in the south.

Even now, when Kangxi was in power, the big cities in the south were divided into inner and outer cities. The inner city was populated by Manchus, while the outer city was populated by Han people or people of other races.

Just like the pattern in the capital, the inner city of the capital is populated by Manchus, while the outer city is populated by Han Chinese or people of other races.

The first is that the Manchus have a small population, even if they are supported by the imperial court, they are not as large as the Han people; the second is that the customs of the ethnic groups are different. Just like the Han people, their women don't have the habit of binding their feet!

Others, by the late Qing Dynasty, were basically no different from the Han people.

In Xiao Shishi’s previous life, apart from the different ethnicities on the ID card, the Manchus also spoke Chinese, and they also had to take the English test CET-[-] and CET-[-]!

At that time, not many people could speak Manchu, and few people could write Manchu.

"Don't all the bannermen live in the inner city?" Little Fourteen asked involuntarily.

Hao Siwen didn't expect Fourteenth Brother to be so young and know that Manchu people live in the inner city. He couldn't help explaining: "Because it's close to the Green Camp, and after the Golden Gate is the Green Camp, so my family didn't live in the inner city."

"I know Green Camp." Little Fourteen nodded, "Your family is just doing their duty."

The rise of the Qing Dynasty relied on its powerful Eight Banners military force.

With the expansion of the territory, the Qing Dynasty absorbed some Mongolian and Han forces. For this, Huang Taiji also established the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han Army Eight Banners to strengthen the military and strengthen the management of the Mongolian and Han subjects.

After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, although the number of the Eight Banners Army reached 20, its strength was still far from enough.In order to strengthen the effective rule of the territory, the Qing government recruited the Ming army and recruited the Han people to organize the army, with the green flag as the symbol and the battalion as the unit, so it was called "green battalion", which was independent of the Eight Banners Army.

In the early years of the Qing Dynasty, the green battalion, mostly Han, was only responsible for guarding the territory, but with the corruption of the Eight Banners, the green battalion became more and more important.

During the San Francisco Rebellion, the Qing army used the green battalion as the backbone, and successively dispatched more than [-] green battalion soldiers to fight.

Although more than ten years have passed, the current green battalion has not yet been corrupted and decayed, and it is still relatively capable of fighting.

But in the late Qing Dynasty, the green camp soldiers became a symbol of corruption, and finally became bandits even after the end of the Qing Dynasty.

"Thank you, Brother Fourteen, for your compliment." Hao Siwen kowtowed his head again before getting up: "Because the slave can swim, the superior ordered the slave to come and guard this Qingyi Pavilion, and occasionally swim in the water occasionally. There are ten people in this Qingyi Pavilion. The eight guards are all third class, only the slave and the other team leader Du Kang'er are second class, but he has gone back to his hometown to visit relatives, so the slave here is in charge for the time being."

"Then you are our swimming master?" Xiao Shisan has nothing against swimming, but he still doesn't like it very much. If Xiao Shisan didn't force him to do so, he wouldn't have to follow.

"It's the swimming coach!" Xiao Shishisan took off his clothes and only wore a pair of shorts: "Coach, let's start!"

He was so happy, but it made Hao Siwen stunned for a moment. He dressed like this to let people know that he was good at water. After all, this is the emperor's garden. Except for him, although the others are not well-dressed, they definitely dare not Just like him, shirtless.

Instead, she was barefoot, wearing a gown and big pants.

In fact, the group of people on duty in the Qingyi Hall can play in water.

But he has not been in the capital for a year or two. After being replaced as a second-class guard, he has served many nobles in the capital. He knows that some of the children of the masters have been raised very strictly since they were young, let alone the prince?

It turned out that he had never underestimated the two little elder brothers who were only five or six years old, and they were very polite when they greeted each other.

Not slighted because they are small.

But I didn't expect the two little elder brothers to be so happy, like a little grown-up!

And he took off his clothes without any fuss, and he looked so cute in his shorts!

If he didn't know that this is a serious phoenix son and grandson, he would have wanted to hug him, but he held back: "Then, let's warm up first, let's stretch our hands and hamstrings..."

A short and strong man, teaching two five or six-year-old dolls to swim is very interesting.

At noon, Concubine De even sent someone to bring over a urn of iced sour plum soup, which is very refreshing in summer.

When the two children went back in the afternoon, they chatted all the way.

Because it was swimming, this time all the eunuchs followed, and it was Wood himself who led the team.

Of course, Brother Thirteen is also a powerful eunuch, similar to Wood.

And they all learned how to swim. That night, Ergenjue Luoshi Heswen was rewarded by Concubine De with two dishes, a plate of braised lamb chops and a plate of burnt meatballs.

Concubine Min rewarded him with a jar of plum wine. The guards on duty are not allowed to drink strong alcohol, especially if they are drunk.

But fruit wine like plum wine is no big deal.

The fourth elder brother sent someone to deliver a bag of kumiss, and he could drink a little.

The most important thing is that Emperor Kangxi rewarded all the guards of the Qingyi Pavilion here with a table and twelve dishes, which made them very happy.

The next day, Heswin taught the two young brothers to be more careful, and even taught them a little underwater kung fu.

"This kind of underwater kung fu is very useful when fighting against the enemy, but don't use it indiscriminately against people who go into the water. It's easy to kill people." Nicknames), and water battles, both above and below the water, there are so many essences.

"Don't worry, the two of us will definitely not use it casually. Of course, we will practice hard." Little Fourteen muttered: "At least it is a life-saving skill."

Xiao Shisan just thought he was bored and mumbling, but who knew that when he grew up, he actually used this "life-saving skill"!
