Chapter 52 Red Mansion + New Moon

Hearing the report from the hidden guard, knowing that Nu Dahai and his old lady both passed away, knowing that Xinyue Gege is over.

So the emperor took a group of sons and granddaughter Lin Daiyu and set off back to Beijing with great fanfare.

Whether it was Yangzhou officialdom, Kangxi's sons, or even the emperor and queen mother in the palace, they all heaved a sigh of relief when they learned that the emperor was going back to Beijing. Everyone thought in unison, and finally left (back).

The officialdom in Yangzhou has been under great pressure for the past six months, and they dare not make any mistakes, and Lin Ruhai's home was almost stepped on by his colleagues who came to inquire about the news.At the beginning, Lin Ruhai received them attentively, but then closed the door and thanked the guests directly.No one sees, which saves the noise.After all, he is also the highest-ranking official in Yangzhou on the surface, and everyone should not go too far.

And the empress dowager in the palace was having a hard time, and finally found out that the emperor was also a ruthless one, who didn't care about the relationship between mother and child and brothers, and only knew to suppress her youngest son in the previous dynasty.Her power in the harem is not as good as before. Although she is the queen mother in name, everyone in the palace knows that she has a bad relationship with the emperor. Later, she offended the queen because of the fourteenth. Now it is even worse that the emperor is pregnant because of the queen. The relationship prevents the harem from paying respects to the queen mother.

When the Queen Mother heard about this, she was so angry that she dropped an enamel ornament.But if Yongzheng is mad at you, he will definitely mad at you to death.Knowing that the Empress Dowager was not happy, he was very happy, and went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay her respects. When asked about it, the Empress Dowager said that the little girl next to her was unsteady and accidentally dropped her hand, but she was always cold-faced The emperor directly ordered the maid to be dragged to Xinzheku.The charge was that she did not serve the queen mother well.

The queen mother was so angry that she couldn't blame the emperor, so she could only vent her anger on the maidservant.After the emperor heard about it, he directly ordered most of the servants of the Compassionate Ning Palace to be replaced. Except for the emperor and his own staff, the empress dowager only kept a few most confidant nuns, and lost all other staff.

That night, the Compassionate Ning Palace announced the imperial physician, who diagnosed the Empress Dowager as having "exuberant anger and stagnant thoughts", and knew that it was a disease caused by qi. The Empress Dowager was obviously on fire, so she only prescribed a few medicines .

The emperor's secret line received an order, and specially added a handful of Coptis chinensis to the medicine. The bitter queen mother scolded the imperial physician for her incompetence.After examining the medicinal residues, the imperial physician knew that it was a fight between the emperor's mother and her son, and only reasoned that the medicinal materials were fine, anyway, Coptis chinensis would not damage the body if eaten.

The Compassionate Ning Palace has been under pressure for the past few days, and the newcomers all know how they got into the Compassionate Ning Palace, so everyone is worried all day long.Now everyone heard that the emperor was coming back, and they all shouted "Bodhisattva bless"!

The queen also knew that the emperor was in a fit of anger, so she didn't try to persuade her too much, she just said a few innocuous words like "there is no overnight feud between mother and child", and took advantage of her pregnancy to hide in the Changchun Palace and not come out.It's better not to meddle in the matter between their mother and child, so that they don't make people look different inside and out.

Now the empress is almost 9 months old, and her mind is not on the fight between the emperor and the empress dowager, all her mind is on her own stomach, but the imperial doctor said that twins are usually born prematurely, that is, this half It's about the month.

She is getting old, and this pregnancy is very hard. I'm afraid it will be even harder when giving birth. Fortunately, the emperor sent her a nanny who is good at giving birth. He listened to the nanny's words every day and walked a few more times in the garden of Changchun Palace. Circle the child, so that there is no energy when giving birth.

The emperor took a look at the Western materials he asked the caravan to collect.The germination and initial development of capitalism, the opening of new sea routes and early colonial expansion, the Renaissance and the Reformation, the bourgeois revolution in the Netherlands and a bourgeois revolution, the Spanish-Portuguese, Spanish-Dutch, British-French colonial wars, the Enlightenment, and the French Revolution; Promote the development of capitalism in Western Europe, the decline of feudalism, the beginning and initial development of the capitalist system and democratic politics, and the rapid development of economic and national strength.It was a world of change and great development, unlike the old China, which was centralized, static, and at the peak of the feudal dynasty.

Kangxi sent southward caravans to collect information from Western countries as early as when he went south. Since the West is currently in a period of change and turmoil, a stable and prosperous China is very attractive to Western people, especially this country is legendary. "Country of Gold".

So Kangxi asked people to use various conditions to attract talents, and various technical talents were especially the top priority. The others didn't care.Ji Ran discovered this problem when he was in Qianlong. He seemed to have made a mistake. Foreign things may not be suitable for China. Although China wants to develop, it only needs to rely on Western technology. In terms of other humanities, China is no better than other countries. Poor, even our concept is more advanced.Now Kangxi has the experience of doing things in Qianlong, coupled with Kangxi's ability, things are more and more handy.

On the boat, Daiyu watched the emperor often staring at a lot of papers in a daze, the little girl who claimed to be very caring looked a little sad at the little girl who didn't look too good, and the old sage was unhappy.I should send bad thoughts for him.

"Old saint, Yu'er can help you read the scriptures. This way you can listen with your ears open, and you don't need to waste your eyes. The tortoiseshell glasses hurt your ears after wearing them for a long time..." Looking at Dai who kept chattering Yu, Kangxi smiled, beckoned and handed the booklet to her.

"Ah! Those foreigners' things are better than ours? Why do you want them to come to the Qing Dynasty, old sage?" Daiyu exclaimed when she saw Kangxi's copy of "Regulations on the Placement of Technical Talents Introduced in the Qing Dynasty" With a sound, although I don't quite understand the reason for this, but thinking that the emperor eagerly wants the emperor to introduce them, it must be better than the Qing Dynasty.

"Yes, in some respects we are better than others, and in some respects others are better than us, we must learn from each other's strengths to make up for our weaknesses, so that we can always stand at the forefront of the world and ensure that every person in the Qing Dynasty will not be bullied by others."

"Well, can Yu'er help?"

"I asked my father to donate money to build an academy so that people can learn the skills of foreigners. Isn't this technology ours?" Turning her eyes, she thought of the academies around the place that the emperor took her to see. Yu then made an impromptu move.I thought of building an academy so that more people can master Western technology, so that the emperor doesn't have to worry about it.

"Well, Yu'er is very smart and has a good idea. When we return to Beijing, you can go to the emperor's uncle and ask him to set up an academy in Yangzhou. Our academy is called 'Tingfeng', okay?"

"Okay, okay." The little girl was happy, she felt that she had solved a big matter for the emperor, and she was still very smart, wasn't she.

After Lin Daiyu made such a gag, Lord Kangxi will not worry about those things. Anyway, it is not too late for development, and there is more time to slowly develop national and military strength.

During the Kangxi period, China's naval power was still top-notch, and the task now is to develop more advanced gunboats and weapons.However, according to memory, the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty paid a lot of attention to firearms.This surprised Kangxi a little.But it was soon relieved, it's good to have development, it's good not to stand still, or even go backwards.

After more than a month, Kangxi and his sons finally arrived in the capital. Emperor Yongzheng waited at Xuanwu Gate with all the civil and military officials from the Manchu Dynasty, and waved the others to retreat, leaving only the emperor and Shisi.The emperor prepared a family banquet, intending to clean up the dust for the emperor.

People carefully sent Daiyu back to the Queen's Changchun Palace, and waited until the family banquet was over before going to the place where the emperor arranged for the princesses to live in the West Three Houses.

At the banquet, looking at the dozen or so sons, Kangxi felt a little emotional. This predecessor is really capable of giving birth, and the quality of the sons is very good.

No matter the boss.The second child, sixteen or seventeen, is quite talented, and I don't want Yongzheng's son to be either a prodigal or absurd.Qianlong's sons were even more shameless.

After saying a few words lightly, he ordered the emperor to have a banquet.Since it was a family banquet, and they were both Huang Ama's sons, although they were fighting each other to the death in private, but now in front of Huang Ama, everyone had a friendly expression.Looking at their stiff smiles, Kangxi suddenly felt a toothache.

After taking a few mouthfuls, he put down his chopsticks. Everyone watched Huang Ama put down their chopsticks, whether they were full or not, they also put down their chopsticks.Who really owes the palace a meal? Isn't it because Huang Ama is back, the old man hopes that his sons will be brothers and sisters, so everyone will show it to him.Filial piety, filial piety, don't you have to obey!

"I know, all of you are like wolf cubs, staring at my seat. But, now that the fourth brother has won, you are not convinced, and you think the fourth brother's victory is useless. Right?"

Hearing these slanderous words, everyone apologized incessantly.Although it is true, but that person in the royal family is not a human being, and he always circles around several times when he speaks. When can he speak so clearly.Huang Ama is really old.

"I know, you all think that I am old and confused. It's a pity, even if I am old and confused, I can deal with you. What can you do? Since you are Lao Tzu's son, please be quiet. If you don't agree with Lao Tzu Four actions, then you can take your own troops to other places to develop, North Korea, Ryukyu, Nanyang, Japan, you can do whatever you want."

"If you can develop a second Great Qing Dynasty, I will praise you as a 'hero'. Don't just know how to fight when you have nothing to do. You don't bother to toss, but I don't like watching dramas."

"The boss, the eighth, and the fourteenth, let's go to the Wa country after the year, North Korea, the Xiong country in the north, whatever you want to do, the emperor sees how much the treasury can support, just give it whatever you want. Anyway, they are not convinced You, if you give too much, you will become enemies."

"Huang Ama, are you serious? Can I go out to fight?" As a general, the boss felt that he was going to be locked up for a few months.Now Huang Ama is not joking, but it is a good opportunity.

"I'm not in the mood to joke with you bastards, you're like black-eyed chickens fighting all day long, it's annoying to see you, so I'll get you all out of the way," replied the boss angrily.He continued,

"Second, go to Taiwan and exchange Shi Lang back for the Qing Dynasty to train admirals. Don't waste talents in those small places. Yinfeng, don't look for your fourth brother's mushroom stuff, the stuff in Yuqing Palace's private warehouse If you take them all away, it can be regarded as my compensation for you, Huang Ama. I am sorry for you."

"Also, you look at your brothers, take whoever you like. I suggest you take away the old nine and the ten. One fights and the other makes money, just right."

"Huang Ama..." Yinreng felt very moved, and Huang Ama really cared about herself the most.

"And your disciples, pick out the ones you need and take them away. Boss, you too, take them all out!"

"Emperor, see if you want helpers. If you don't want help, except for a few younger ones who are still studying in the study, leave the rest to your elder brother and second brother. It will save you trouble all day long."

"..." Yongzheng looked at Huang Ama's worried face, and knew that he was not happy, but Huang Ama's method was indeed the best way to resolve their brothers' quarrel, and it was not hurtful.

"I gave each of my two elder brothers 100 million taels of silver. These came from my private treasury. The national treasury doesn't have much silver at present, but if the two elder brothers want people, they will have them. They will give them whatever they want, as well as firearms. Brothers, if they want to, go to the Ministry of War to coordinate. In the future, if the two brothers want to support, just ask, we are a family."

"Your family members will stay in Beijing for the time being. You can take them away if you want. It's up to you. You can take them away after you stabilize. But you will come back to see me every two years after you go out. If you don't miss me as an old man, forget it, alas ! When you are old, you will be disgusting. Let them go! The emperor will go to court tomorrow!"

"..." Everyone looked at the vigorous Huang Ama silently, wondering how the old man could tell that he was old, and his body was even better than that of the old Shisan.

After Yongzheng sent Kangxi back to the Cihe Palace, he returned to the banquet. Seeing that everyone hadn't left, he asked people to serve wine again.

This is really a good time to eliminate the estrangement between brothers. If you don't count, I'm really sorry for myself.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, I offer you a toast." No more nonsense, just started drinking.

"Oh, the emperor is a big winner. Huang Ama kicked out our brothers, and the Qing Dynasty belongs to the emperor alone." The fourteenth brother looked at the indifferent fourth brother, and was very angry. Do not call one place.Originally, the recent incident between the emperor and his mother's mother made him look down on this brother of the same mother.It's even worse now that Huang Ama actually drove all the brothers out of the Qing Dynasty for the sake of the fourth brother.

He didn't feel that Huang Ama was thinking of everyone, he just felt that Huang Ama didn't love him anymore, and so did the fourth brother, who didn't take care of himself at all.In the past, no matter how Er Niang treated him, fourth brother would still take care of himself in private.But now it's a good thing, when he becomes the emperor, he doesn't care about his feelings at all, which directly makes Erniang a joke.

"You..." Yongzheng trembled angrily, the Thirteenth Master saw the two brothers who were not right, and directly pulled away the old Fourteenth.

"Say a few words, let's go drink."

"Okay, Thirteenth Brother, I know you have a good relationship with the Emperor, so don't pull me, Prince Yi, I can't afford to be high." Looking at Thirteenth Brother, who has become Fourth Brother's right-hand man, Old Fourteen became even more angry. In the past, he and Thirteenth Brother were the best friends, but Fourth Brother didn't like him, so he tried his best to win Thirteenth Brother away.It's good now, I'm alone.

Yongzheng directly moved his fist and knocked over the old fourteen who was drinking alone. Yinfeng looked at the two brothers who were fighting and let the others go. He went to see Huang Ama in the Palace of Mercy by himself.I haven't seen you for a long time, Huang Ama must miss me.

Everyone looked at the calm-looking second brother, knowing that they couldn't get involved in this matter, they all backed out, and Lao Jiu who wanted to sprinkle some salt in it was also dragged away by Lao Ba.

The boss sneered and glanced at the old eight, and left.Go home, wash and sleep, maybe Fujin is waiting for him at home.Big Elder Brother and Da Fujin are notoriously loving couples.

Of course, the loving couple and the eighth couple, now Huang Ama doesn't pay attention to their heirs anymore, the two couples have nothing to hide, Bafujin directly sent the only two concubines to Zhuangzi, He left behind a pair of concubine son and concubine daughter who were raised under his own name.

The old nine went out of the palace gate in annoyance, and took my starling and tenth brother to drink in his own restaurant.

"I don't know what happened to the fight between the emperor and the old fourteen?" Yinreng, who was thinking about it while walking towards the Cihe Palace, felt very happy, and his fourth brother might be angry because of fighting with his younger brother or something. Be tough.Thinking about the embarrassing empress dowager, I can understand the thoughts of one, two, and four brothers.

But that's their mother and son's business, don't care about this waste prince, let go of these bad things indifferently.

After entering the Palace of Compassion and Compassion, I saw Huang Ama's table was full of my favorite food, I couldn't help but my eyes were a little sore, it was because I was not filial...

Looking at Yinfeng wiping his nose and tears, Kangxi also let out a long sigh.

The relationship between the predecessor and the prince is much closer than that of the fourth child. The two have come to this point by accident.

"Yinfeng, sit down! Have a good meal with me. I haven't had dinner with you for a long time. I feel like I'm getting old recently, and I often think about your childhood."

"At that time, you were still young, and you often treated my notebooks as playthings and threw them everywhere.

I often hold you with one hand and approve the notebook with the other, but you are dishonest and insist on filling up the ink, knocking over the inkstone, and dirtying my notebook before you are done. "

"Huang Ama still remembers what to do..." Yinfeng said with a slightly nasal tone, embarrassed.I am really an asshole, for that position, I have done so many things that hurt Huang Ama's heart, it is no wonder that Huang Ama will pass the throne to his filial fourth brother.

"Yeah, what can I do by remembering these things? You've grown up, and I'm getting old too. I often wonder if it's because I, Ama, can't do a good job, which makes you fight to the death. Forget it, don't mention it. These are terrible things. It's good that you are here, I want to tell you about the idea of ​​sending you to Taiwan."

"Well, my son is all ears." Hearing that he went to Taiwan was not just a marriage, Yinfeng felt a lot better. Although Huang Ama chose the fourth younger brother, in Huang Ama's heart, he is still the most important, that's all.That position is no longer as attractive as it used to be.

"Look at this..." He opened a world map. (It seems to be called "Wan Guo Kan Yu Tu" in the Qing Dynasty) This drawing was specially redrawn by Kangxi according to his own memory.

"Look at this strait, it's called Malacca. It's a fortress on the sea! If my Qing Dynasty controls this place, it will be considered as a chokehold on the commercial road between the East and the West. Tell me, how much profit is this? And there are still countless people in Nanyang. The [-] Chinese people, whether from the previous dynasty or the current dynasty, these are the foundation and support for us to control these areas."

Paused, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and continued,

"That's why I want you to bring Lao Shi and Lao Jiu with you. Lao Jiu is a good hand in business. You don't have to worry about money when he goes there. Lao Shi is reckless, but it's very easy to lead troops to fight. You are good at it. As for governing the place, I can rest assured of you."

"Develop in Taiwan for a few years, and then rely on Taiwan to enclose a large area of ​​Nanyang. You can establish a country if you want, and you can merge it into the Qing Dynasty. The left and right Qings are your backing. I They have prepared a lot of information on Europa and talents who study guns and tools. You pick a few and bring them there, and leave the rest to your fourth brother. Although the Qing Dynasty is temporarily a kingdom of heaven, Europa is developing very fast now. I believe it will catch up with us soon, we can't wait."

"Hey, my son complies with the order." Listening to the blueprint that Huang Ama has planned for herself, it is no easier than governing the Qing Dynasty. This makes Yinfeng full of motivation. It's even more gratifying to get his approval.

In the early morning of the next day, all the ministers found that the emperor's face had bruises on the corner of his mouth, and he knew that he had been beaten at a glance. Then they looked at the fourteenth master with bruises on his face. Everyone wanted to laugh but didn't dare, Secretly guessing whether the two brothers did it directly.

As soon as the old sage returned to the palace, these two started attacking. Did the old sage get angry or something?Silently guessing the situation when the old sage got angry, everyone trembled, thinking it's better not to think about it.

The author has something to say: During the Kangxi period, the proportion of firearm equipment in various places continued to increase, and hundreds of thousands of green battalion soldiers were also equipped with bird guns in batches, and the bird gun soldiers were expanded.However, the number of equipment and personnel quotas for Niaojian soldiers are not uniform across the country, and confusion has arisen.In response to this situation, Emperor Yongzheng began to make clear regulations on the allocation of bird soldiers in various places.

In the fifth year of Yongzheng (1727), it was agreed that "one of the military supplies used by officers and soldiers, the bird gun, is the most convenient for charging sharply and breaking the strong. The inland provinces have flat terrain and use bows and arrows; the coastal provinces along the coast have deep mountains and dense forests, and use bird guns In the inland provinces, for every thousand soldiers, set up [-] Niaoyu; for the coastal provinces, for every [-] soldiers, set up Niaoyu [-].” Niaojian has become a standard equipment in the army and has an important position.

In the tenth year of Yongzheng (1730), it was agreed that Fujian Province has vast waterways and seas, and landways with deep mountains and dense forests.The item of bird gun is the most used. In addition to the 15 bird guns for every thousand soldiers in the regulation, another 1750 bird guns are added.In the [-]th year of Qianlong ([-]), it was agreed that there would be two naval battalions at the front and rear of Wuchang Township in Huguang.

——The above information and text are from Mao Xianmin's essay "A Brief Description of Huoyao in the Qing Dynasty"

The status of Niaojian in the Qing army has been tied with artillery, bows and arrows, and even surpassed bows and arrows.It can be seen that in Yunnan, Guizhou, Henan and other places, the equipment rate of Niaojiao is relatively high, while that in Zhili is relatively low; in addition, the Qing army’s Niaojiao equipment outside the pass is not much, and many Niaojiao do not even have curved support; chieftains in various places are in charge Niaoshao is also widely used in the world.About 50% of Tibet's Niaojian equipment rate is about 50%, and the Dajinshan and Dajinshan in Sichuan, Mongolian ministries, and Huijiang ministries also use Huojian in large quantities.As a standard equipment, each bird must be registered and numbered for unified management.The rulers of the Qing Dynasty recognized the power of Huojiao, and of course they were unwilling to let such "military weapons" flow into the civilian population and be controlled by "rebels".After the Qianlong Dynasty until the Daoguang Dynasty, the equipment rate of Niaojiao remained at about [-]% nationwide.

These are some information about the development of firearms in the Qing Dynasty, for your reference.
