History of Cannon Fodder Struggle [Qing]

Fourth Master let her put the clothes on himself, then looked at her thin cotton-padded clothes, frowned and said, "Hurry up and find a dress to put on."

Minning smiled, and directly picked up the blanket that used to cover his feet on the bed and draped it over his body.

This blanket is a wool blanket, and it doesn't feel cold when you wear it on your body.

Fourth master pushed her down on the bed and was about to take off his down jacket and return it to her.

Minning hurriedly stopped him, "Don't, sir, I'll take it off later, I have to show you the benefits of this dress, lest you say I'm lying to you."

Seeing that his hand was being held down, fourth master continued to wear it, and imitated her previous practice, holding her hand and putting it in his pocket together.

After talking for a while, it didn't take long for fourth master to feel hot and feel like he was about to sweat.

"What's inside this clothes?" Fourth Master was a little moved. He had never seen a kind of clothes. Although it looked thick, it was very light, and it would make people sweat after wearing it for a while.

You must know that every winter, people in the capital are frozen to death, not to mention the whole world.If everyone wears this kind of clothes, how many lives will be saved.

There are also soldiers of the Eight Banners who suffer from frostbite on their hands, feet, ears and faces every year. If they change into this kind of clothes, how many people's pain will be relieved?

Minning blinked, then leaned close to Fourth Master's ear and said mysteriously, "Master, there are things in this that you would never expect."

"What is it?"

Minning looked proud, "It's duck down and goose down!"

Fourth Master stood up suddenly, he turned around a few times before standing still in front of Minning, and lifted her up, "Do you know that you have made great achievements?"

"Master!" Minning screamed, and hugged his head in fright.

Fourth Master put her down, with a look of joy on his face, he was so happy, duck down and goose down, something that no one had ever paid attention to, was actually noticed by Ge Ge in his backyard, and cleverly used it to make clothes.

What is even more unexpected is that this kind of down-filled clothing is warmer than cotton clothes.

Perhaps the collection of duck down and goose down from the entire Qing Dynasty is not enough to make clothes for the people in the capital, but it doesn't matter, this is not something that will happen in a while, if it doesn't work this year, then next year.

As long as someone discovers this benefit, there will always be people who breed ducks and geese in large numbers, and one day everyone will no longer be afraid of the cold winter.

The fourth master patted the clothes on his body, and said to Minning, "The clothes are taken by the Lord, and you don't go out, so it's useless for you." Then he waved his hand and said that it was like Minning took advantage of it. , "I don't owe you anything, the carbon in my father's share will be shared with you, so I will exchange this clothes with you."

Minning's brain froze a bit, waiting for something to happen, just to show off to him, why did the clothes never come back?

The fourth master continued to chatter: "You don't need to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs anymore, those feather masters sent someone to take it back, and the maid next to you, lend it to the master first, and wait for the people under the church to return it to you .”

"You, you bully!" Minning stomped his feet directly, why is it not enough to take clothes, but also to rob her?It was the first time she discovered that fourth master had the potential to be a robber.

The fourth master was still thinking about how to maximize the benefits of this matter, and suddenly he didn't know the name of the dress, and asked her, "What's the name of this dress?" He knew that An Gege liked to name the things he saw , I heard that the name soap was originally named after her.

When he first heard it, fourth master was very surprised.

"Down jacket!" Minning said angrily.

Probably the only thing that can comfort her is that the feathers collected in the past few days are enough to make another one.

Fourth Master frowned, "What's this name?"

Minning didn't care about him, and said shamelessly, "Anyway, it's called this name, you can figure it out!"

Fourth master got the name, regardless of whether she was angry or not, he hurriedly took Biying away.

Minning was sulking all night, but fortunately Mo Shu helped her drive out the new clothes that night, so she was relieved.

The next day, God was very disrespectful, and it snowed heavily early in the morning.

Outside the gate of Daqing, the fourth master stood behind the prince, the bulging cloak in his arms couldn't cover it, the prince looked at it and asked jokingly, "Fourth brother, are these the clothes you prepared for Han Ama?"

The fourth master looked ahead and heard the prince's words, and replied respectfully: "It was also when I came out that it was snowing, so I brought one more."

The prince smiled gently and looked forward, his fourth brother was still boring.

The north wind was bitter, and the snowflakes on the royal road were swept into the air and fell again. Fourth master glanced at the officials from the Ministry of Rites who were shivering from the cold, just as a horn sounded from a distance, which was a signal that the imperial chariot was approaching.

Prince Edward straightened his back, and Fourth Master's expression became solemn.

The figures of the imperial guards first appeared at Zhengyangmen, and the long team stopped in front of Daqingmen, standing solemnly on both sides of the road, when the emperor's imperial chariot had just entered Zhengyangmen.

The crown prince went to meet him first, and the fourth master followed.

The imperial chariot stopped in front of the Daqing Gate, and the crown prince and the fourth master knelt on the ground together, "My son welcomes Khan Ama back to Beijing, long live Khan Ama, long live, long live."

The door curtain on the imperial chariot was lifted, and the emperor sat on the chariot and said to the two, "Peace."

The emperor asked the prince lovingly: "Why does the prince wear so little?" After speaking, he turned his head slightly and said to the people beside him, "Liang Jiugong put my cloak on the prince."

The prince put on the emperor's cloak, and acted like a baby to the emperor with admiration on his face, "My son is also anxious to see Khan Ama, and I forgot it in a moment of urgency."

The fourth master looked at his nose, his nose, his nose and his heart, and kept silent. He was used to the way Khan Ama and the prince got along.

After the emperor expressed his love for the prince, he turned his eyes to the fourth son. "Fourth, is this journey safe and sound?"

The fourth master replied respectfully, "If Huihan Ama said, my son's business is going well."

The emperor paused, and then moved his eyes to his arms. It wasn't that he deliberately saw it, but that the fourth master was holding the clothes too conspicuously.

"Fourth, what is this?"

The fourth master unfolded the clothes with a solemn expression, and said, "Hui Khan Ama, these are the clothes my son dedicated to Khan Ama."

Perhaps because he thought the clothes looked too weird, the emperor was silent for a long time, but finally accepted his son's kindness and asked Liang Jiugong to help him put it on.

The prince was a little dissatisfied with fourth master's offering of clothes.Doesn't this mean that he is ignorant?They came to greet him together, one made the old father worry about it and gave him his own clothes, and the other one worried about the old father getting cold and offered clothes, what would the court and the people think of this?

The prince, who was still somewhat dissatisfied at first, suddenly lost all dissatisfaction when he saw the ugly clothes.

Why is the fourth child obsessed with offering this kind of clothes to Khan Ama?

It was Khan Ama who was considerate of his filial piety, so he didn't dislike him.

The imperial chariot continued to walk into the palace, accompanied by the prince and fourth master, and finally stopped in front of the Qianqing Palace.

After walking for such a long distance, the emperor also felt the benefits of this light and fluffy clothes. Although it was a bit strange, it made him feel hot for the first time in the cold weather where the dripping water turned into ice.

The charcoal was burning inside the imperial chariot. Although it was warm, it was not so warm that it made people sweat.

The emperor immediately understood what the fourth son meant by dedicating the clothes to him, so that he could personally experience the benefits of the clothes.

The emperor entered the Qianqing Palace, the prince was called in first, and came out after a while, and then the fourth master was called in.

Fourth master understood that yesterday's busy night was not in vain.

The emperor's clothes were driven out overnight according to the style of An Gege's clothes.

Last night, the Ministry of Internal Affairs took duck down from live ducks overnight, and only got enough to make a piece of clothing. Later, the people at my brother's house cleaned and dried, and worked all night before filling the down to half of the completion before dawn. in the clothes.

He got it in the morning and rushed to Daqingmen.

In the Xinuang Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, the emperor had already taken off the leather jacket inside, and was sitting on the throne wearing only thin ordinary clothes and a down jacket.

"Fourth, it's hard for you to go out and stuff duck feathers into your clothes. I didn't expect to wear this kind of clothes in the warm pavilion. I still feel a little hot."

Kangxi, a talented and bold emperor, he naturally thought of what the fourth master could think of, and he even thought of it in the long run.However, he paid more attention to the application of this kind of clothes on the battlefield. If this kind of clothes appeared two years earlier, it would not be so difficult to fight Galdan.

Fourth master was not surprised that the emperor knew what was inside the clothes. As the emperor, there was nothing in the palace that could hide it from him.

But he didn't take credit for it, and said honestly, "Qi Khan Ama, the son didn't think of this dress, but a son of the son first discovered it. After seeing it, the son thought that if the people of the Qing Dynasty One piece for each person, so you don’t have to fear the cold winter in the future.”

Of course the emperor knew who made the clothes first, but seeing his son tell it so honestly, he didn't refute it, but rather appreciated his honesty.

"Okay, well said, this kind of clothes should be popularized among the common people, and we will not be afraid of winter tigers in the Qing Dynasty in the future."

The emperor clasped his hands happily, and then asked about the name of the clothes. After learning that it was called a down jacket, he pretended not to hear it, and said to himself, "I think it's called Zhu Rongyi. It sounds like it's warm." The board decided on the name.

Fourth master was silent for a moment, before saying: "Thank you Khan Ama for giving me your name."

After leaving Qianqing Palace, Fourth Master went straight back to Elder Brother's place, instead of going to Fujin's, but went straight to West Courtyard.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw An Gege put on the same Zhu Rong clothes as the one he took away, his eyes twitched, thinking that Ge Ge and Han Ama were wearing the same style, and his whole body was not good.

"Hurry up, quickly take off this piece on your body!"

Min Ning hugged his clothes tightly, and kept looking at him vigilantly, "Master, you have already snatched my set, so don't you even let this one go?"

The fourth master said unhappily, "It's not that you are not allowed to wear it. You did the same as the previous one and presented it to Han Ama today. Now it has become the emperor's costume. If you wear it again, it will be a serious crime of beheading. Be good, be obedient, take it." Go down and have someone change it before wearing it!"

It's not that Minning doesn't understand the truth, but when she thinks that she will have to say goodbye to her "big quilt" forever, her heart aches. What is the difference between a life without a "big quilt" and a salted fish?

The fourth master continued to persuade her, so Minning reluctantly said, "Okay, I know, I will let the ink book be changed later. By the way, master, when will you return Biying, and she will be missing all of a sudden." , I’m not used to doing anything.”

Fourth master immediately replied: "I'll have someone send it back to you later."

Only then was Minning satisfied, and then asked fourth master, "Master, tell me, if I open a shop in the capital to sell down jackets, okay?"

The fourth master immediately corrected, "No, this one has already been heard by the heavens, and we still have to wait for Khan Ama's instructions. And this is not called a down jacket, Khan Ama has already given it a name, and it will be called Zhu Rongyi in the future."

Minning's eyes widened, and he complained wildly in his heart, what the hell is Zhu Rongyi?Where is the down jacket not as good as this name?
