The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

The official documents and memorials are naturally good news, and the first battle has been won.

Secondly, the observer sent by the Firearms Bureau wrote a lot about the pros and cons of firearms, especially the impact on firearms in plateau areas, thunderstorms, etc.

The letter from home is very interesting, telling Kangxi that the opponent is vulnerable, the firearms are sharper than those at sea, and they are invincible in land battles!

He bragged to Concubine De that he ate a whole leg of lamb in one go, and he was full.

Tell fourth master that the battle is settled, and let him not worry.

Kangxi looked at the official documents, memorials and family letters, and compared the three parties: "Fourteen is still very capable."

"That's right, Lord Fourteen is winning!" Li Dequan said with a smile: "Now Lord Long Live doesn't have to worry."

The war in the northwest has always been a concern of Kangxi.

Kangxi was very upset that this incident happened again at his 60-year-old birthday.

But his fourteenth son is indeed capable. Not to mention the victory in the first battle, he killed [-] enemy troops in a single battle, and one of his own was not injured.

Not to mention how many enemies were killed, the main thing is that our own side had no losses except shells.

This is what makes Kangxi most satisfied. If there are no casualties, there will be no pensions. While saving money, it can also boost the morale of the army.

Who is willing to die if they can live!

Those who serve in the army are also for the little food and salary, for the sake of military merits, and to honor their ancestors, not to serve as cannon fodder for others.

If the officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty achieved such results when they attacked in the future, Kangxi felt that he was absolutely worthy of his ancestors.

Kangxi was in a good mood, so he went to Yonghe Palace.

Just in time for Concubine De to wipe her tears.

"What's the matter?" Kangxi looked at Concubine De, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "The fourteenth flag was won, why are you still crying?"

"The kid said he ate a leg of lamb for a meal, and he was stuffed! What can there be in that place? How hard it must be to eat a leg of lamb!" Concubine De complained: "It's all a success, let him come back!"

"A woman's opinion, the child has made great achievements outside, why do you have to ask him to come back?" Kangxi laughed and scolded: "Okay, okay, don't cry, the child said, he will come back in two years at most."

Concubine De wiped away her tears: "Really?"

"I have a golden mouth." Kangxi said: "Okay, don't cry, Shisi has done a good job."

Concubine De didn't cry anymore: "Isn't that because you taught well?"

Kangxi was very proud of what he said: "That is."

The fourth master was also very proud of the letters that Nian Gengyao sent, some for him and some for Nianshi. It happened to be the fifteenth day, and the whole family got together for dinner.

Si Fujin first congratulated Nian Shi: "Your brother fought bravely and won the battle."

"It's all thanks to the leadership of the Fourteenth Lord." Nian Shi didn't take the credit: "It's also thanks to the support of the Lord."

Everyone knows that the fourth master is in the household department, and the provisions allocated to the fourteenth master are the most timely and adequate.

Now the concubine has a son and a daughter, and she is pregnant with another one. I don't know if it is a boy or a girl. The concubine Nian has two sons, and her elder brother has made military exploits many times.

Only Concubine Li's house was in a mess, her Ama was just a magistrate, and her brother was kicked out of Prince Yong's mansion. Although he was released now, the prince has never been to her place.

How envious, jealous and hated she was in her heart, she didn't dare to show it anymore. The prince was angry last time. If her son hadn't interceded for her later, she might still be grounded!

So Concubine Li just smiled, but didn't dare to say anything thorny.

Si Fujin was very satisfied with Concubine Li's performance, and she would be honest only after being taught a lesson.

But the fourteenth battle was successful, and the news came back very good, just one thing, he had no prisoners.

Jiu Ye and Shi Ye got together to drink: "It's fine if there are no prisoners, the place is squatting poorly, if you keep the captives, you have to support them."

Shi Ye said: "I heard from me, Fujin, that the place is very difficult, even taking a bath is difficult."

Shi Ye's Fujin is a Mongolian, and he is from Mobei Mongolia. There are also women from relatives who marry, or marry women from there, and know something about the situation there.

"But Old Fourteen is cruel enough? He didn't keep any of them." Master Jiu was more astonished by Master Fourteen's ruthlessness.

"What's the use of keeping him? If our people are captured, he can still exchange prisoners. As a result, we didn't even lose a hair here, so why do we need prisoners?" Master Shi chuckled: "It's a bombardment." Damn!"

"Speaking of which, I didn't expect firearms to be so easy to use. Dai Zi, the director of the Firearms Bureau, has become a famous person." Jiu Ye said with a smirk: "It's Shisi who has a good eye, and he has been delineated a long time ago."

"Isn't it!" Shi Ye also sighed: "Back then, when he was fourteen, he had a kind heart and made Dai Zi."

Who doesn't know that Dai Zi was rescued by Fourteen?Back then, Dai Zi didn't know where he was without Fourteen's care.

There was no firearms bureau in the Qing Dynasty, let alone the director of the firearms bureau.

The importance of Dai Zi to the Qing Dynasty became more and more revealed. Unfortunately, the three sons of the Dai family all married daughters of ordinary families, and the third generation was still growing up, so there was no possibility of marriage.

Dai Zi also has a special liking for Mrs. Dai, this woman who accompanied him through the most difficult period, Dai Zi respects her very much, even if there is a beautiful maid at home, there are also people outside who send him beauties, but he refuses them all up.

Dai's mansion is now the Duke's mansion, but the house is full of women and stout servants, and there are not many beautiful maids.

As a result, many people now have nowhere to start a relationship with him.

The Fourteenth Master was not in Beijing, and he didn't have an introducer to introduce them to Dai Zi.

Moreover, the Firearms Bureau was very strict. Fourth master specially asked Shisan to lead someone to be on guard, and that guy Shisan was even more reckless.

"Good deeds are rewarded with good deeds!" Tenth Master envied Fourteenth very much, it was not easy for him to get a talent.

There is also Ba Ye who is also emotional. Don't look at Ba Ye who doesn't take on any errands now, but the good karma and contacts accumulated in the past are still there. Now the position of prince is vacant again. But Ba Ye is just like Xiaoqiang, he can't be beaten to death.

Since Kangxi did not make him the prince, he forced Kangxi to make him the prince.

Therefore, Ba Ye's network has become wider and wider, and now everyone is sitting together, talking about the fourteenth thing.

"Master Fourteen is getting more and more dazzling."

"That's right, the most important military achievement of the Manchus, Master Fourteen..."

"Since I was a child, Master Fourteen has always been a special one."

Who doesn't know that the Fourteenth Master has been different from the other prince's elder brother since he was a child. He always goes to the Shang's study an hour later than others because he can't get up on the kang.

There are also punctuation marks that were invented later.

So far, those old scholars are still arguing about how to punctuate the sentence.

Who dares to say that they are full of barbarians?Do not know how to learn?Then you Han people first understand the things of your ancestors before you talk about it!

Fourteen didn't know that he was also very famous among literati.

"Huang Ama is already 60 years old." Ba Ye said indifferently: "Shouldn't it be time to write a book?"

At such an old age, what should I do if there is an emergency?A country cannot live without a king for a day.

"Before the establishment of the reserve, the Fourteenth Lord must be pulled down first." Some staff said: "Otherwise, the Fourteenth Lord will be too competitive."

The Fourteenth Master not only has military industry in the northwest, but also has military merits in the south.

The fourteenth master has everything about martial arts and martial arts!

They had to worry that Kangxi would choose the Fourteenth Lord.

"Master Fourteen? He can be ranked fourteenth! He is neither the eldest son nor the eldest son. He is not even the eldest son of the Yonghe Palace. The eldest son of the Yonghe Palace is Prince Yong." Some staff think it is unnecessary: ​​"The first dozen or so older brothers are here."

"Don't forget, our eighth master is not the eldest son, nor the eldest son." The staff at the front said: "We still have the qualifications to compete for the reserve position."

The Ba Ye who said this is very proud, yes, he is not the eldest son, but he just wants to be the prince.

"Okay, let's ask someone to impeach Shisi. His ferocious temperament has to be changed. There are no prisoners in the war. If our people fall into the hands of the enemy in the future, won't our lives be in danger?" Those who engage in politics have hit the point right away: "You have to think about the future."

I have to say that this talk on paper is really harmful.

Ba Ye thinks too much, plus he has no experience in fighting with the army, he has been wandering around the capital all the time, he doesn't know the cruelty of the battlefield, and they don't know the firearms battalion at all, so they can't know the gesture of the sky falling apart when the cannon is fired .

So they are all focused on impeaching Fourteen.

Prince Cheng was also single-minded about impeaching Fourteen.

Don't look at Prince Cheng's failure to aspire to the crown prince, but his energy is not small, and his reputation among scholars is still good. Similarly, what is the most powerful scholar?

Lipstick!

The average scholar is a censor, what does a censor do?

Censor, Yanguan, what are you doing?

Yushi is an official name, and there is no other title.

In the pre-Qin period, the emperor, princes, officials, and magistrates were all set up, and they were historians and secretaries responsible for records.

Later, the censor changed, and the censor became a supervisory official, about since the beginning of Qin Dynasty.Qin set up Yushi doctor, whose position is second only to the prime minister, in charge of impeachment and picketing officials' negligence.

During the period of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Wei set up a royal censor in the palace, recorded the movements of the court, and corrected all officials and court ceremonies.In the Western Jin Dynasty, there were many titles of censors, and it was the first of its kind for future generations to specialize in censors, including supervisory censors, Fujie censors, and inspection censors.

In the Northern Dynasties Wei and Qi, there were censors and censors, and in the Sui Dynasty it was changed to censors.

In the Sui Dynasty, the censor in the palace was changed to the censor in the palace.

The number of censors serving in the Provincial Palace of Emperor Yangdi was increased, and the number of censors who were supervised was increased, and the number of censors from the ninth rank was once added.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were servant censors, servant censors in the palace, and supervisory censors.Song Tong.In Yuan Dynasty, there was a book of governance but no palace.

Can you see it?The line of censors has grown bigger and bigger, and its power is also getting bigger and bigger.

In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, a supervisory censor was specially set up, attached to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the supervisory censor was divided into pickets, with a large number of staff.In addition, those who send supervisory censors to inspect various places are divided into various tasks, such as patrolling censors (not established after Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty), patrolling salt censors, patrolling censors, and patrolling city censors (in Ming Dynasty, there were censors who patrolled the capital. system), patrolling censors (in the Qing Dynasty there was a supervisory censor inspecting water transport) and so on.

After the Yushitai was changed to the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the Ming Dynasty, one left and one right capital censor were set up as the officers of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The original is the fourth grade, and the rotation is the third grade; once again, there are two censors in the left and right capitals, the original is the fifth grade, and the rotation is the fourth grade; he is in charge of correcting and impeaching all the censors, and he is the minister of the emperor's ears, eyes and discipline.

The governors, admirals, governors, managers, and prime ministers sent by the emperor to various places all have the title of censor, so that they can act, but they ignore the affairs of the procuratorate.

In the Qing Dynasty, the Zuodu Censor was added, and there were two Manchus and Hans, and they were of the second grade. Can you see that?The greater the power, the greater the number of people, it has become a force.

It is equivalent to the eyes and ears of the emperor, everywhere!

Moreover, the censors are all scholars, at best they are upright, at worst they belong to dogs, whoever catches them bites them.

Prince Cheng has some disciples who do the job of censor. This job is good. Anyone who is not pleasing to the eye can be impeached, regardless of whether he is a relative of the emperor or a nine-rank sesame official.

The most important thing is that the censor has a "gold medal for avoiding death", and the censor will not be convicted for his words.

It means that even if the censor is impeached wrongly, he will not be blamed.

Even if the "literary prison" in Kangxi and Ganzhou in the Qing Dynasty was in vogue, even if the censor's speech offended Longyan, he might not be convicted and eventually beheaded.

This is the space and opportunity given by the imperial court to those who hold different opinions to form associations and gather. Of course, it also boosted the arrogance of the censors in a disguised form.

So the next day, when Kangxi went to court in a good mood, there were five or six memorials in the royal history, impeaching Prince Xun and Nian Gengyao for killing too much, which damaged the benevolent image of the heavenly court.

Kangxi's face darkened.
