Road to Shunzhi

Chapter 108

In March of the 25th year of Shunzhi, the emperor added Enke, and at the same time decreed that the draft, which had been suspended for three years, would resume normally.The whole world celebrates, isn't it!The Manchu nobles were almost weeping with joy.

The imperial examination did not stop because the emperor needed to keep his filial piety, but the draft really stopped.Although the current nobles are different from those in history, they only need to report to the clan's mansion to marry a wife, and they don't have to wait for the emperor's appointment, but the emperor doesn't draft, so they are still not so willing to move.Especially families with outstanding daughters are reluctant to appoint their daughters out so early: the emperor is only in his early thirties, and the women in the harem are few and old. The emperor has kept his filial piety for three years. A concubine or something, wouldn't that make a lot of money?Therefore, in the past three years, except for the girls or prostitutes who are too old to be dragged on, there are basically no marriages, and all of them are waiting for the draft.

Fulin didn't have much expectation.To be honest, if it wasn't for the empress dowager nagging his heirs in his ear every day, he would have completely forgotten about the draft.

"Emperor, look, how cute Xuan Ye is."

here we go again!Fulin is very afraid of entering the Palace of Compassion and Ning recently, without it, the mixed blood Xuan Ye is really favored.Big eyes, snow-white chubby little face, especially when he clapped his little hands and muttered some alien language, he was so cute that he could definitely capture the hearts of all women from eight to 80 years old.The noble concubine can't wait to take him everywhere to show off every day, and the Compassion Palace is the main show.Not to mention Bumbutai, Renna and his concubines, even Shanhu and Yaliqi are very fond of them.

Xuan Ye is just a reptile, not afraid of strangers at all, quickly crawled to Fulin's side, grabbed the hem of his clothes, raised his little head to act cute.Fulin stroked his somewhat naturally curly hair, counting to three silently in his heart.

"Emperor, look, all the children in the palace have grown up. The youngest, Yaliqi, has become a big girl. The heirs of the royal family are important. If there are more well-behaved children like Xuan Ye, the Aijia will be a big girl." It's enough to close your eyes."

Bumbutai's voice sounded at the right time, and Fulin could almost recite it. Sure enough, what followed was a long speech persuading him to draft and expand the harem. Fulin knew it without looking up. Renna's smile at this time must be bitter. of.

Fulin made up a random reason and left, taking stock of her children.Fuquanxu was sixteen, Jinge was thirteen, Shanhu was twelve, Yongqian was nine, and Yaliqi was eight.

He has no shortage of children.Fulin found that he already had enough three sons and two daughters, not to mention that Fuquan and Jing E were getting older and had learned to attend court, so he didn't think it was necessary to have a few more children.What's more, he already has six women, which is enough.

Therefore, the emperor agreed to the draft, but he didn't leave any of them in his harem. Instead, he devoted himself to the construction of the navy.Since Taiwan was recovered early, Fulin released Chen Jinnan and returned to Xiamen and Taiwan.Chen Jinnan is a talent. It took him a few years to restore Taiwan's production, and keenly discovered Taiwan's favorable geographical location. He started a caravan and led the Taiwanese people to become rich collectively. He was loved by everyone.

How could Fulin allow this to happen.He recalled Chen Jinnan back to the capital with an edict, and at the same time brought back the admiral in Chen Jinnan's hands.

With caravans, there will naturally be military escorts, and Taiwan's army is the navy.Fulin has controlled the production technology of firearms, and Taiwan has to buy artillery from the imperial court. No matter how rich it is, it dare not really fight against the imperial court. What's more, the imperial court is not short of money. Can destroy this island.Therefore, no matter how reluctant he was, Chen Yonghua still tearfully bid farewell to Taiwan's military and civilians, and brought several generals he had cultivated through hard work to Beijing.

The emperor was very polite to them, rewarding them with official positions and houses, and promoted Chen Yonghua to a bachelor's degree, specializing in education and part-time in charge of foreign trade.As for the few people he brought, they were all arranged in the navy to assist in training.

Fulin naturally had his reasons for doing so.Now shipping has entered a stage of rapid development. At the same time, many by-products have also increased, such as pirates.

In the 11th year of Shunzhi, the number of pirates was not very large, there were only a few hundred people, and there were only three or five groups of relatively important dens. Now, there are more than two hundred pirates, large and small, and the number has soared to tens of thousands. Some are foreign.There are Japan, North Korea, Siam and other places, and even remote Europeans, but they do not understand the language, and they choose Mandarin as their official language with a tacit understanding, which makes Fulin annoyed and funny.

Pirates do business without capital, with high risks and high returns. In addition, they can smuggle arms at high prices. Some of the larger pirate ships are equipped with advanced artillery, and merchant ships are willing to pay high prices for the navy to protect them. own safety.

The official merchant pirates of the Qing Dynasty did not dare to provoke them. They ran to rob some small merchant ships, or private caravans from other countries. Some of them were captured, and they proudly declared that they were members of the Qing Dynasty.The protection of the Qing emperor's shortcomings is well known throughout the world, so that countries like Portugal and the Netherlands dare not kill them casually, and send them all to Fulin.

People from the Qing Dynasty...Gao Sai was deeply depressed when he saw these pirates with different skin colors and even eyeballs: So far, there is only one mixed race in the Qing Dynasty, okay?Do you want to pretend to be Qing people so blatantly?What about your books?What about your identity papers?Not at all, but I am ashamed to call myself a Qing Dynasty!

However, tolerance is great, and it is a good tradition of Confucianism to be polite to foreigners.Gao Sai still took the book and let the emperor make the final decision.Fulin is very straightforward: They want to be Qing people, that's fine, Daqing welcomes everyone at any time.However, since you are a citizen of the Qing Dynasty, you must abide by the laws of the Qing Dynasty, and pirates will beheaded.

The gang of pirates lost their lives in the end, which made the other pirates dissatisfied.The official dialect of the Qing Dynasty is very difficult to learn, and they learned it so hard, isn't it just to lean against a big tree and enjoy the shade?Now this big tree shows with practical actions that he is unreliable, and even killed so many brothers with his own hands, it's the other way around!

In June of the 25th year of Shunzhi, Su Abao, the leader of the pirates in the East China Sea, led his 500 people to attack Ryukyu.Fulin sent admiral Li Hai to lead the army to rescue Ryukyu. It would be best if Su Abao's old nest can be taken away by the way.

Li Hai was a general brought by Chen Yonghua. His real name was Li Ergou. Chen Yonghua took Hai as his name and gave him a name that could stand on the stage.His mother was taken away by pirates when she was pregnant. He was born in a pirate's lair and he was bullied around all the time. It wasn't until a pirate infighting that he fled to Taiwan with his mother and became a Ordinary sailors.Afterwards, relying on his own abilities, he met Chen Yonghua, who knew people well and used them well, and climbed to his current position step by step.

Li Hai had a natural hatred for pirates, so he drove the most advanced warship and set off from Jinmen to meet Suabao's pirate army.However, this behavior of the emperor has been strongly approved. Protecting the subordinate countries from pirates is what a big country should do.

At the same time, Wu Sangui proclaimed himself emperor in Myanmar, the country was named Dazhou, Jianyuan Zhaowu, the capital was established in Yangon, and Yangon was renamed Yingtianfu. Geng Jingzhong and Shang Kexi were both named kings with one word shoulders.He specially sent envoys to express to Fulin that he was willing to be a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty for generations and everyone to be good friends for life.

The court was divided into two factions.One side expresses support for Wu Sangui, isn't this just a disguised form of letting the Qing "all nations come to court"?Besides, Wu Sangui occupied other places, this is also to promote the prestige of the Qing Dynasty.The other party believes that Wu Sangui's behavior is too immoral, he invaded other countries, and he proclaimed himself emperor carelessly.

The two sides started a tug-of-war, and no one could win.Fulin just said a few words, and suppressed the dispute.

"Myanmar's heart is attached to the former Ming Dynasty. What's wrong with Wu Sangui's conquest? The descendants of the Burmese king are weak, and Wu Sangui presides over the overall situation for him. What's wrong? Now Myanmar is always subordinate to the Qing Dynasty, and it pays tribute every year. What's wrong with being a minister for generations? ?”

The emperor is on Wu Sangui's side.This fact made the opposition all dumbfounded, but they did not give up their ideas, and planned to subtly influence the emperor back in the days to come.As for now, Fulin sent a special person to Burma to celebrate Wu Sangui's proclaiming emperor, and also agreed to his request of a subordinate country.

Li Fan Academy is already too busy.There are more and more foreign affairs now. The original Li Fanyuan only faced the tribes of Mongolia and some of the surrounding dependent countries. Now it has to face the countries far away in Europe, as well as the Ottoman Empire, Tsarist Russia, etc., and the manpower is limited. clumsy.Fulin simply set up the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and let Gao Sai take full responsibility. By the way, he also put Jing Er in it and asked him to follow suit.

Jing E was dazed by various languages ​​every day.Now the official languages ​​in Europe are Spanish and French, English also has a place, of course, more Turkish, these crooked letters like earthworms make Jing E want to hide in her mother's womb again.Ren Na felt sorry for her son, and kept bringing him snacks and soup. Coral naturally ran over to eat and drink, and then discovered her language talent.

It was a missionary who taught Jing Er French, and he was surprised to find a genius princess.Coral is different from Jing Er, she just listens in, and will soon be able to speak some daily communication and dialogue in French, but she can't write a word.The missionary was very happy with this speed, and immediately ran to ask the emperor for instructions, intending to accept Princess Coral as an apprentice.

Fulin had no idea that girls should be kept in boudoirs at all. After asking Shan Hu what she thought, he agreed to her request to learn the language together. The minister's family.

The author has something to say:

If the emperor of a great country changes, it will definitely affect the world situation.Wu Sangui has won the throne he has been thinking about here, and he will die well.
