The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

On the empress dowager's [-]th birthday, Kangxi danced off the stage, and Shisi personally played the matouqin and sang "Swan Goose" in Mongolian.

The old lady who sang was tearful.

It reminded the empress dowager of the grassland.

Of course, there are also people from Mongolia who come to celebrate their birthdays, and there are quite a few of them!

They were all relatives who could have a relationship with the Empress Dowager, and Kangxi did not treat them badly.

After the lively birthday celebration was over, Fourteen found Kangxi: "Huang Ama?"

"Okay, I don't want to part with it, but you're getting older, you're already twenty-four." Kangxi looked at his fourteenth son: "Run out, just go out, but remember to come back."

"Don't worry, Huang Ama, my son remembers the way back." Fourteenth Master knelt there and touched Kangxi's hand on his knee: "Huang Ama should also take care of himself, this world cannot live without Huang Ama, at least Nothing can go wrong until you, um, retire."

"I know." Kangxi patted Master Fourteen's head: "Go well, come back well."

"Yes, my son is going now, Huang Ama." The Fourteenth Lord gave Kangxi a big gift, and then left without looking back.

He went to Yonghe Palace and bid farewell to Concubine De.

Concubine De was reluctant for him to leave: "You are already a prince with double salary, why are you on business? Guangzhou is so far away."

"Son, do you want to make some achievements!" The Fourteenth Master coaxed Concubine De: "Don't worry, Er Niang, my son must do a good job, so Huang Ama can rest assured."

After coaxing Concubine De, Fourteen entrusted the account books of the business to Fourth Master, but also handed over the right to manage the business to Jiu Ye, and finally, he handed over the right of accounting to Shi Ye.

"why?"

In the fourteenth master's Prince Xun's mansion, the fourth master was silent, but the ninth master couldn't sit still: "Either leave it to me, or give it to the fourth brother."

Well, at this time, he knew he was called the fourth brother.

In fact, the Fourteenth Master wanted to create an opportunity for them so that the three brothers could get in touch with each other. Since the Ninth Master and the Tenth Master were completely disappointed with the Eighth Master, why not switch to the Fourth Master?

His own brother is no worse than anyone else!

"No!" The Fourteenth Master insisted on this distribution: "If you take care of it all, why don't you give all of my family fortune to the starling? The tenth brother is a real person, I can't bear him to embarrass him, so I can only hand it over to my brother. My cold-faced brother will take care of it, you will manage the accounts, let the tenth brother do the auditing, the tenth brother is serious and stubborn, and the auditing is just right!"

The fourteenth master has arranged everything properly.

Although the other three were awkward, but because Shisi had a good relationship with them, they had no choice but to admit it.

And Fourteen entrusted Thirteen with the dividends; the dividends were entrusted to Eighteen, Nineteen, and Twenty, who were still young.

The three of them went together, and they went to the back house, so there shouldn't be any problem.

As for his business, he directly entrusted it to Kangxi!

No one is more reliable than this old man!

Then he set off and took a group of people to Guangzhou south.

First, I went to Tianjin on horseback. Tianjin has risen since ancient times because of water transportation. After the middle of Tang Dynasty, it became a water and land wharf for southern grain and silk transport to north. Jin Dynasty set up "Zhigu Village" in Zhigu; Hecao grain transshipment center; the city was officially built in the second year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, and it is the only city in ancient China that has an exact record of the city's construction time.

In the ninth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, the three guards of Tianjin Wei, Tianjin Zuowei and Tianjin Youwei merged into Tianjin Wei, and established yamen, salt transportation, taxation, military and other constructions.

It's an open dock.

The location of Tianjin was originally an ocean. More than 4000 years ago, the seabed was slowly exposed under the action of the Yellow River sediment, forming an alluvial plain.The ancient Yellow River diverted three times and entered the sea near Tianjin.

It is located in the northern part of the North China Plain, facing the Bohai Sea in the east and Yanshan Mountain in the north. It is a geomantic treasure.

Of course, in the eyes of Fourteenth Master, this is a big wharf, but in the eyes of others, this is just a port.

The fourteenth master's plan is very simple. When he arrives in Tianjin, he will change to a sea boat and go to Guangzhou as a sea boat.

Although Tianjin in ancient times was not as prosperous as modern times, the climate in ancient times was good and the air was good. After they arrived in Tianjin, they directly lived in the Eight Banners Guild Hall in Tianjin.

In fact, Kangxi also gave Fourteen privileges, allowing him to live in the palace in Guangzhou after he went to Guangzhou.

The palace in Guangzhou is very well decorated, not to mention magnificent, but also because it was built with donations from large merchants, which is of great significance.

The Fourteenth Lord, Prince Xun, is a double-budget prince, the rarest son of Lord Long Live.

He is the one with the highest status among all the princes. Except for the prince, others are not as high as his title.

Double seals are not so easy to enjoy. According to the practice of the Qing Dynasty, the full name of the prince of the Qing Dynasty is Prince Heshuo.

Only princes and brothers of the clan can obtain this title.

It is the second-class title in Waizasak Mongolia, second only to "Khan".

There is also a special kind of prince in the Qing Dynasty, the iron hat king, the iron hat king is a hereditary nobility. Compared with other princes, there are three main privileges. The first is "hereditary no replacement" The second is the generous salary, the annual salary is 1 taels of silver, and the salary is [-] dendrobium; the third is to give the hereditary king's mansion, also known as the iron hat mansion.

The fourteenth master, the double-budget prince, is half a rank higher than the prince, and only a little lower than the iron hat king.

There are currently eight Iron Hat Kings in the Qing Dynasty, namely, Prince Li Daishan, Prince Zheng Jierhalang, Prince Rui Dorgon, Prince Yu Duoduo, Prince Su Hauge, Prince Zhuang Shuosai, Prince Keqin County Yuetuo, and Shuncheng Because of their outstanding meritorious service, the county king, Le Ke Dehun, was granted a permanent hereditary title, and at the same time enjoyed the honor of being worthy of the Taimiao.

On this trip, the Fourteenth Lord brought thirty eunuchs and servants, one hundred first-class guards, two hundred second-class guards, and five hundred third-class guards.

In addition, there are three thousand guards accompanying them.

There are also three cooks and five tailors, who follow to serve the fourteenth master.

Probably Kangxi had already prepared for it. Along the way, Fourteenth Master felt that everything went well, even the food went well.

When I arrived in Tianjin City, I directly stayed in the Eight Banners Guild Hall, where there was a separate three-entry mansion for the fourteenth master and his party.

This house is in the shape of a "face", the front row is occupied by the guards, and the rooms on all sides are also occupied by the guards. The three-entry house in the middle is for the fourteenth master alone, and there is a big one behind. garden.

Compared with the mansions built according to the rules in Jinglitou, the place here is large, and the land can be drawn at will.

So much so that it was built so big here, the back garden was bigger than the original residence of the Fourteenth Lord, but now it is the Prince's residence.

They can move in as soon as they arrive, and the fourteenth master feels that this place is very familiar to him.

It was the owner of the Eight Banners Guild Hall who led them in.

"Why does this place feel so familiar to the master?" The Fourteenth Master wandered around in the courtyard, and the owner followed suit.

"Returning to the lord, this courtyard started to be built last year, and it was modified after overtime, and it required the style of the capital city, so it doesn't look like a local house." The owner said: "So you look familiar."

"It's a little bit!" Master Fourteen suddenly realized.

The main building of the Eight Banners Guild Hall has five entrances, front and back, including halls, stage, flower hall, kitchen, warehouse, etc., as well as gardens, rockeries, fish ponds, and pavilions.

It is commonly known as the Eight Banners Guild Hall for Manchurians who travel or go to work.

They traveled all the way, and when they arrived here, they immediately decided to rest for two days. The first thing was to take a bath for everyone.

Then there is dinner, which is okay, they have cooks, and their skills are good.

On the second day, the Fourteenth Master, who had had enough rest, got up early in the morning and took people with him, went out, didn't eat breakfast, and went to the street, a group of people were very eye-catching.

But Fourteenth Master didn't think there was anything wrong, so he ran to a stall nearby: "Here are two pancakes."

In the Ming Dynasty, there were many merchants from all over the Tianjin area. Some merchants from Shandong brought pancakes, which led to the production of pancakes in Tianjin.

If you want to eat authentic pancakes, you have to be in Tianjin.

"Okay!" The vendor hurriedly made two pancakes.

Fourteenth Master shared a small bottle, and the master and servant squatted next to them to eat. The small bottle had long been used to Fourteenth Master's style, and Ma Lianying next to him paid the money: "Give us thirty servings, pancakes and fruits."

The small vendor was happy: "Okay!"

When the servants have finished buying, it will be the turn of the guards. Once the guards ask for a hundred, the peddler will run out of raw materials.

However, the guards don't necessarily have to eat the same pancakes and fruits as the Fourteenth Master, just go to the next door to buy them. This place is basically a stall for pancakes. A group of guards surrounded them. Pancake fruits are basically rounded.

The main reason is that they pay for meals!

This is a big push for customers, the fourteenth master paid the money readily, and those people showed their best craftsmanship.

In addition to eating breakfast, the Fourteenth Master also went to buy a lot of street food. A group of people frantically swept the goods. Their arrival did not disturb the law and order in Tianjin City, but was welcomed by the merchants.

After resting here for three days, the sea boat from Dagukou arrived.

Not one, but three.

One large and two medium.

The big boat can hold 2000 people, and the small boat can hold 1000 people.

The Fourteenth Master took people on board, and many people came to the shore to see him off. However, the Fourteenth Master later found out that he had not seen the prefect of Tianjin and the governor of Zhili.

These two people were a little afraid of offending him, so they organized people to come here to see him off. In fact, many people were curious. They had never seen the prince, brother. This is still a prince.

It was the first time Fourteenth Lord took an ancient sea ship, first of all it was large, and secondly it was a reasonable allocation of space. Even Fourteenth Lord only had a suite, the outer room was the reception room, and the inner room was the bedroom.

The sea boat traveled fast, riding the wind and waves, but the little bottle got seasick!

"Is it better?" Fourteenth Master poured a glass of water into the small bottle: "Rinse your mouth."

"Master, it's useless to be a slave, it's embarrassing for you, and you are made to serve the slave." Little Pingzi was about to cry.

"Don't cry, we'll be in Guangzhou soon." The Fourteenth Master wiped his face, "You've been serving me for so long, and I'm serving you too."

Xiao Pingzi is not smart, he is a bit stupid. He broke one of his vases at the beginning, and he was scared to death. Now that he has been with me for so many years, people have feelings. Seeing him suffer, how can Fourteenth Master make him Serve yourself?

Wood walked in: "serve him, servant."

"Okay, you come!" Fourteenth Master really couldn't wait anymore, he had been here all morning.

"I'm going to Guangzhou soon, please bear with me!" Fourteenth Master stuffed a piece of hawthorn cake into the small bottle: "Why don't you eat something sour?"

The little bottle didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Your servant is seasick, it's not pregnancy sickness!"

"You can't eat hawthorn when you're pregnant, you have to eat plums." Wood didn't understand humor at all.

The sea-going ship arrived in Guangzhou early in the morning on the third day. They traveled along the coastal waters. Not to mention the speed, it was also safe.

When he arrived at the wharf in Guangzhou that specially received him, the wharf was under martial law before Master Fourteen got off the boat, surrounded by officers and soldiers.

He Siwen, who was familiar with Fourteen, was leading the army, and the handsome Nian Gengyao stood beside him.

There is also a civil servant, that is Cao Yong.

Master Fourteen didn't know any of the remaining officials.

Don't think he came to Guangzhou once with Kangxi, but in fact, the Fourteenth Master didn't know many people, and he only played happily in the local area.

But Fourteenth Lord took a look. Unlike when he came that time, most of the officials he saw were middle-aged and elderly, but this time, he found that the officials were all very young.

There are mostly young and middle-aged people, and more young faces.

The Fourteenth Master didn't know what Kangxi was going to do, but his emperor Ama asked him to come and be the prince of Zhenhai, which is not bad.
