[Qing Chuan] The Empress Dowager Raising Cubs Daily

Fuquan is quite proud.

He cheerfully said: "This is called a hero who sees the same thing!"

Kangxi couldn't help it this time, he just rolled his eyes at Fuquan.He snorted: "You and Baoqing are the two heroes who are full of cheating ideas? If you want me to say, I'm afraid it's just a big and a small two bears."

Fuquan is not happy now.

He squinted at Kangxi, and muttered in a low voice: "Then the emperor has the ability to improve the archery skills of the emperor's mother?"

Kangxi: ...

If he can still need to worry about it?Kangxi pretended not to hear Fuquan's muttering, and then changed the subject to get down to business: "Is there any news from the front line? How is Prince Kang's condition? How is the progress of Yungui?"

Prince Yu Fuquan instantly restrained his joking thoughts.

With a serious look on his face, he began to seriously report the battle situation on the front line: "Prince Kang's illness has been repeated, and he has written a letter begging to return to Beijing to report on his duties. As for the absence of Prince Kang's restraint, the progress of the war in Yunnan and Guizhou, except for the First and Second World War Zones, has somewhat shown fatigue... "

Since the capture of Yuezhou and other places at the end of last year, the Qing army was in full swing, and then they pacified Sichuan in one breath. After Prince Yu Fuquan and Prince An Yuele returned to Beijing, Prince Kang Jieshu even went all out to attack Yunnan and Guizhou. total attack.

But from here on, everything goes wrong.

Yunnan and Guizhou are all places with dangerous terrain, and miasma and poisonous substances are common. Only half a month after the Qing army entered, bites by poisonous snakes and insects occurred frequently, and nausea and vomiting caused by unacceptable water and soil were commonplace.

It has been several months now.

The incidents of poisonous bites have gradually decreased, and the situation of acclimatization has also improved slightly, but Prince Kang has been ill since the beginning of the year and has had to write letters repeatedly.

While Prince Yu Fuquan sighed, he was also a little excited.

He secretly observed Kangxi's expression, and finally couldn't help asking in a low voice: "The emperor intends to let Prince Kang return to Beijing?"

"That's natural."

"Then...can you go again?" Prince Yu Fuquan hurriedly asked.

Kangxi somewhat hesitated

He shook his head: "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that the emperor just came back and left so soon, I'm afraid that the Empress and Concubine Dong'e will complain about me."

Prince Yu Fuquan also mentioned it casually.

Thinking of Huang Erniang and Erniang who had just recovered from a serious illness, his heart that was about to move suddenly clicked, and he completely lost his strength.Fuquan sighed sadly, and instead of forcing it, he cheered up and asked, "Does the emperor have someone he cares about?"

Kangxi nodded: "I originally belonged to Yihai."

The corners of Prince Yu Fuquan's mouth twitched slightly, and he pressed his temples: "Tuhai...he's a little too hasty."

I don't know what kind of luck Tuhai is.

Say he's unlucky?When attacking Guizhou, he accidentally discovered Yang Qilong, the first culprit who had set off the case of the third prince Zhu in the capital, and arrested him in one fell swoop.

But is he lucky?Tu Hai didn't know what kind of fanfare he had. He felt that dealing with the third prince Zhu's case was more important than attacking Guizhou. Not only did he suspend the war and rest on the spot, but he also sent several letters back to Beijing, proposing to interrogate Yang Qilong with the Ministry of Criminal Justice, claiming that Yang Qilong Know the whereabouts of the real 'Third Prince Zhu'.

Kangxi didn't care about the third prince Zhu.

How many third princes Zhu have been born since the Qing army entered the customs?Yang Qilong is not the first, nor will he be the last.Tu Hai thought that he caught Yang Qilong to get rid of a serious problem for the emperor, but he didn't know that he had picked up sesame seeds and lost watermelon. ', forgetting what the emperor is most anxious about now.

Prince Yu Fuquan secretly shook his head.

Kangxi felt angry when he thought of Tuhai. With a gloomy face, he replied coldly: "Since he has no intention of going to war, and I don't force him, let him return to Beijing to handle the case of the third prince Zhu."

Prince Yu Fuquan secretly put some wax on Tuhai.

Kangxi held back his anger, fearing that even if Tu Hai returned to Beijing, there would be no good end.He cheered up and asked curiously: "Then who is the emperor?"

Kangxi looked at Fuquan: "Do you have someone to recommend?"

Fuquan hesitated for a moment, and then mentioned a name: "I think Muta is good."

"Mutta...can his background overwhelm the rest?"

"Reporting to the emperor, although Muta's background is only the most ordinary Manchu, this is also his advantage. Since entering the customs, Muta has participated in almost all battles, and he is familiar with and understands various emergencies. The relationship between generals and ordinary soldiers is very good, and it is not a problem to appease the army." Fuquan explained with a smile.

Kangxi tapped the table with his fingertips.

Then he proposed another name: "What do you think of Zhang Tai?"

"Zhang Tai? I heard Chang Ning mention it."

"Zhang Tai is Yue Le's cousin. He also stayed under Yue Le's command for a long time, but he didn't make any contribution."

Now Prince Yu Fuquan was surprised.

He opened his eyes slightly, slightly shocked: "...Eh? But when I heard Chang Ning talk about it, I still liked and respected Zhang Tai..."

Kangxi tapped the table lightly with his fingertips.

He sneered: "Yeah, since he moved into Chang Ning's command, he has frequently suggested tricks against the Chahar Department. After being promoted by Chang Ning, he was transferred to Anyuan Jingkou General Shang Shan as a staff officer, and he also made frequent achievements. ..."

Kangxi and Fuquan met each other at a glance.

Whether Prince An Yue Le deliberately put Zhang Tai on hold, or Zhang Tai hid himself in front of Yue Le, anyway, there was a lot of discord between the two, and it was undoubtedly a good opportunity for Kangxi who wanted to take back the military power of the kings .

The two brothers discussed for a while, and then summoned courtiers to continue the discussion.

Of course, Kangxi did not forget the empress dowager's request. After the discussion was over, he summoned the head of the House of Internal Affairs, the director of the Manufacturing Office, and the director of the Armed Forces Institute to inform the empress dowager of her needs.

The three of them were under a lot of pressure.

The manager of the manufacturing office wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the slaves and others have never touched this thing... Maybe we need to study it a little bit before we know, it will take some time."

Kangxi also understood this very well: "I will give you three months."

All three breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just that they held their breath at the same time in the next breath, only to hear Kangxi change the subject: "It's just that the Empress Dowager is willing to wait for half a year, I can't guarantee it."

The heartbeats of the chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the director of the Manufacturing Office, and the director of the Armed Forces Academy suddenly beat like a drum, and they couldn't help showing a little bitterness.

If the empress dowager is angry—

As long as the three of them thought about that scene, they couldn't help shivering.

Since then, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been busy working together. It took a long time to disassemble and study the firecracker. Not to mention the difficulty of changing the matchlock gun to one-handed operation, and at the same time ensure that the accuracy is improved and the operation is convenient?The Ministry of Internal Affairs has been busy for more than a month, but they didn't even study the shadow.

Change the firecracker to one-handed operation or is it small and convenient?Can it be used by the empress dowager and other female relatives?Because of this matter, the whole Ministry of Works didn't fall asleep for half a month in a daze, and the dark circles under their eyes were shocking.

No progress for a month...

Seeing that there was no charter in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, several officials began to brazenly go to the Ministry of Industry and Military for help.

There was also a commotion in the court for this improvement.

When everyone was having a headache, it was the silent and low-key Prince Rui Yongqian who came forward to resolve the matter.

He entered the palace to pay respects to Qiqige, and then presented an exquisite firecracker. This firecracker was so small that it could even be tucked in the cuff. Except that the whole body was inlaid with gold and jewels, it was so gorgeous that Qiqige covered her eyes. , almost looks exactly the same as the queen of later generations.

Yonggan smiled and said: "Is this the kind of thing the Queen is looking for?"

Qiqige rubbed the eyes that were caught by the flash, and then carefully looked at the short firearm: "From the size of the handle, it is indeed good, but...how is its accuracy and strength?"

"Emperor Niang, you can give it a try."

"Okay." Qiqige didn't hesitate to lead Yongqian to the shooting range.

Kangxi and Fuquan also came after hearing the news.

When they stepped into the shooting range, they happened to see Qiqige shooting with one hand.

Kangxi was shocked.

He took the slightly hot short-fired blunderbuss and inspected it carefully, and asked the eunuch to take the target hit by the empress dowager to inspect: "Emperor mother... how do you feel?"

Qiqige rubbed her arms: "Compared to all the bows and arrows that need to be controlled by Aijia, this thing feels good except for some recoil and can't be fired in a row—"

She looked at the target, and then added: "It seems that the accuracy is quite good."

Almost all the red hearts of the target were hit.

Kangxi nodded, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes—even though the short-fired gun is small, its power is not small.

Although it is less powerful than the matchlock guns in the Qing army, it can be operated with one hand, and its small size is easy to carry around, which is enough to show its value.

Just ...

He looked at the gorgeous appearance with a little disgust: "Yonggan, why is this thing so...fancy?"

Let Kangxi have to doubt Yongqian's taste.

Yonggan smiled helplessly: "That was not done by my younger brother, but... I took it from the tribute."

"...a tribute?" Kangxi was slightly taken aback.

"Yes, the teacher only remembered this after listening to officials from the Ministry of Industry occasionally chatting about it when the court meeting was over."

The teacher Yonggan talked about was Nan Huairen.

Although he was only allowed to study in the Qin Tianjian at the beginning, wouldn't it be an overkill for a prince to go to the Qin Tianjian?After Yongqian studied with Nan Huairen for a period of time, most of the officials also understood the emperor's thoughts.

Yongqian is just as Kangxi expected.

In the past few years of studying with Nan Huairen, he is not only familiar with astronomy and geography, but also has a strong curiosity about the application of machinery. He has learned many foreign languages, and he has read far more foreign books than his brothers...or big. 90.00% of people with nine or more in Kiyosato.

The more he knows, the more Yongqian realizes that some changes are taking place on the continent of Europa.For example, Descartes, who proposed the methodology, just said that the first one should not blindly follow or accept the truth that he does not know, but must have his own judgment, which is enough to make Yongqian tremble slightly.

It should be said that the guidance of the Queen Mother in her childhood was more due to hobbies, but Descartes summed up a set of rules: ask questions-conduct experiments-get and explain conclusions from experiments-generalize and generalize conclusions- Find out new problems in practice, and so on. ①

:

This formula can be applied to anything.

There are a lot of novel ideas out there.

Hearing Nan Huairen mentioned this matter, Yongqian keenly sensed that this was an opportunity, he immediately found the short-fired gun, and immediately sent it to Qiqige.

Yonggan shook his head: "This thing was once paid tribute to Khan Ama, and then it was rewarded to Oboi. After Oboi died and ransacked his house, this thing was returned to the treasury. Because no one knew about it, it was buried in it. The minister took it out. This object was repaired later, and finally it was presented.”

"...Why don't I know?"

"Most of the tributes are piled up in the House of Internal Affairs." Yonggan only said one sentence.

The Central Plains of the Qing Dynasty claimed to be the □□ Shangguo.

Except for a few treasures, most of the things attached to the surrounding small countries or the tributes from foreign barbarians such as Europa were thrown into the House of Internal Affairs.

If only the emperor could remember.

If the emperor didn't remember what was inside, it would have rotted and damaged in the warehouse in the end.

Kangxi was speechless.

Who would have imagined that the answer that the Empress Dowager wanted was right in front of her eyes?The most important thing is that Kangxi's eyes were eager, and he couldn't put it down touching the short firecracker: "It can be operated with only one hand... Can the long ordinary firecracker be changed?"

Yongqian replied seriously: "My brother is currently studying."

He stared at the short firecracker with burning eyes, and said softly: "It's just that the short firecracker in front of me has too many parts. Even if it is improved to grow the firecracker, it is difficult to be widely used. I am afraid that it is more of a kind of jewelry for foreign people to decorate." decorations, to show off the existence of status."

Yongqian clenched his fists, stared at the short firecracker and whispered: "If you want to make a long firecracker, it means that the cost performance must be high, and it must be mass-produced..."

Kangxi's breathing was slow and long.

He remembered Yongqian's decisive answer: "I will definitely do it."
