The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

As for the person sent by the prince, the fourth master in Beijing checked it out, and the answer to everyone was just one, four words: no such person!

As for the prince's private seal, there are not ten, but eight.

From ancient times to the present, from emperors to common people, the number of private seals is so large that there is no statistics.

But after all, it is a private seal, some are used for playing and appreciation, some are used as a gift to friends, and more importantly, the private seal has the characteristics of personal identity.

The emperor handed over the private seal to the minister, which can be regarded as the emperor's personal visit.People's personal private seals can be used as personal identity marks.

The fourth master still has as many as six private seals. As long as they don't admit it, the prince will have nothing to do.

Long live Lord opened his eyes and told nonsense, Prince Yong followed to cover up, Fourteenth Lord just killed a group of liars, that's all.

In fact, Kangxi understood the scruples of the fourteenth, and if the crown prince is restored, that is also the crown prince.

If people know that the crown prince is taking the court tax money, he will ask for three or five million taels of silver.

What is he trying to do?

Do you want to rebel or buy people's hearts?

The taxation in Guangzhou is almost catching up with that in Jiangnan.

The treasury of the Ministry of Finance is empty, and these past few years have been peaceful on the surface, but in some places, floods, droughts, and locust plagues have occurred continuously. Of course, some places have lied, and such people have been dealt with by Kangxi.

But there are also places where disasters really happened, and the court can't ignore them.

Especially the construction of the embankment, the fourth master was really worried about it. The embankment was repaired every year, broken every year, and burst every year.

Why is there not enough money to spend, and someone still has to draw a ticket?

Fourth master couldn't help but sneer, since the crown prince was restored to power, he's not as smart as before.

Just some stupid tricks, it looks like a coke.

The Fourteenth Lord also received a letter from Prince Yong, but there was no such person.

For this reason, Master Fourteen laughed so hard that his stomach hurts: "This is really my brother!"

Nian Gengyao also shook his head: "Fourth Master can't help it. Even Long Live Lord is vague about this matter. Those people are really stupid."

In fact, if they came silently, without being so ostentatious, he and Fourteenth Master really didn't know how to deal with it.

But they were so arrogant, and when they beat Cao Yong, Nian Gengyao realized that it was a good opportunity, and he beat him up, and when he hit him, he greeted his face. The opponent's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, so that his own mother could not recognize him.

It's only natural that Master Fourteen didn't recognize him after he came back!

Even if anyone wants an explanation after this matter, it can be turned over.

It's just that he didn't expect it to be useless at all. He also realized again how much Long Live Lord and Fourth Master love Fourteenth Master.

"Okay, this matter is over, and my master's Cantonese is almost mastered, I will go to the naval barracks with you to see." Fourteenth Master said: "Can you go to sea?"

"You can do it anytime." Nian Gengyao said, "I'll take you there. However, there are rough men in the barracks, and they speak straight. I hope the Fourteenth Lord doesn't mind."

He himself didn't care, but Master Fourteen was a little bit worse.

"It's okay, I can do it too!" The fourteenth master was already prepared.

So, Nian Gengyao took him to the navy's garrison, the Qing Royal Navy Camp.

The naval camp was built in a harbor. In addition to shelter from hurricanes and waves, there is also a link to the port. There is a seawater channel that can lead directly to the port.

This port is only used by navies to dock ships.

Here, you can’t set up tents. They are all wooden and stone structures, dormitories on the second floor, because the place is too damp, and no one lives on the first floor. They only store things, or put some lime to remove the moisture.

Occasionally, some wormwood is lit to smoke mosquitoes.

The most important thing is that there is an open-air bath where all officers and soldiers can take a bath.

There are no horses here, and everyone walks on their feet without shoes, and what's more, they swim back and forth, or drive back and forth in small boats.

The place facing the sunny slope behind the camp is also full of various dried fish and seafood.

The Fourteenth Master suddenly decided to want a naval camp. Nian Gengyao also wanted to show the Fourteenth Master an ordinary naval camp, so he didn't tell the people here.

However, Nian Gengyao thought that he was strict in running the army, and there would be no problems.

Only then did he dare to bring Fourteenth Lord to attack suddenly, and caught the people in the barracks by surprise.

But it's fun in the barracks.

The navy, although it is the Royal Navy, the soldiers in the navy are only well paid, the ships are all the best sea ships, and the spoils are distributed fairly.

Usually, they need training when they are repairing on the shore. For example, now, they are wearing shorts, bare feet and upper body, carrying a rolling log, and running around on the beach to exercise their strength.

There are also those who practice firecrackers. There are shooting ranges in many places. They are all contacting the firecrackers. This is the Beijing Central Firearms Bureau. submachine gun.

Of course, it’s a bit like a pipa, but it can fire fifty bullets in one go. This was specially invented by Dai Zi for the 50th year of Kangxi, and it’s called "Fifty Style". Appreciate.

After the fourteenth master came in, he felt that his group was out of place with the military camp.

why?

The first is that they dress so well that the barracks are full of muslin clothes;

The second is that they dress so competitively that even the lieutenants in the barracks are dressed in shorts;

The third is that they are all wearing clothes, and the others, even the lieutenants, are barefoot.

Looking at it this way, they really look out of place.

"Master Nian?" The lieutenant ran over, this lieutenant was tanned like a son of the sun.

The sun was shining brightly, and he smiled and showed his teeth: "You're here? Why didn't you say anything?"

Nian Gengyao used to think that this lieutenant general was a good person, with a thick and thin personality, easy-going, carefree, and a brave man.

That's why Nian Gengyao appointed him as the deputy general.

However, at this moment, seeing this person appearing in front of him naked, he felt that this person had no eyesight.

How rude to appear in front of Master Fourteen like this.

"This is Lieutenant General Mei Lechuan." Mei Lechuan was a bannerman, and Nian Gengyao said respectfully, "This is Prince Xun."

Mei Lechuan was dumbfounded: "Prince Xun?"

He did go to greet Prince Xun, but at that time the Prince of Love was wearing a formal dress, so he didn't dare to look up.

I only know how to bow my head and kowtow to people.

Now they are face to face... only know that Prince Xun is very young.

But face to face, only to find that Prince Xun is younger than what he saw from a distance.

"Here, this, slaves pay respects to Prince Xun!" Bannermen all call themselves slaves, this is the rule.

"Get up." The Fourteenth Master looked at Meilechuan and smiled: "Meilechuan, a bannerman?"

"Yes, the slave, the Mailer family, is a member of the Lanlan Banner." Mel Chuan lowered his head and said, "After joining the army, he was assigned to the Navy. Later, he was selected for the Navy. In the army, we have fewer Bannermen and more Han people."

Moreover, the name Mei Lechuan sounds like a Han Chinese, but it is more convenient to integrate into the navy.

Otherwise, as soon as you hear the name, you will know that it is Manchurian, which will easily arouse some people's resistance.

The bannermen who came to the navy this time all had simplified surnames, and each of them had already taken precautions.

"Mile's?" Fourteenth Master thought for a while, "Master's aunt is Mellor's."

He was talking about Wuya Boqi's daughter-in-law, Mellor's.

This surname is not common, and some people in the Eight Banners simply call it Mei for short.

"Slaves are of the same family as the lady." They are all from the Mailer family.

"Then they are related!" Master Fourteen was even happier.

In fact, it is because there are few Manchu people, and pure Manchu banner people are rare. If you really want to say, everyone can be regarded as relatives, it’s just that the distance is different.

"Oh, why should I call you then?" The Fourteenth Master was even happier. It was very kind to see the Banner Man here: "Little Uncle."

"No, you've really spoiled this slave, so I just overstepped once and called you Fourteenth Master." Meilechuan smiled brightly: "Fourteenth Master, are you here to see the naval camp?"

"Yeah, Mr. Nian has confidence in you, and he brought you here without telling you." The Fourteenth Master patted Nian Gengyao's arm: "Let's go, show me your training results Bar!"

"Okay, Lord Fourteen, this way." Nian Gengyao pursed his lips: "Let you see the achievements of my minister."

Nian Gengyao has read a lot of military books, not to mention that he is a landlubber, and he came to the navy, but it was a cross-border behavior. To be honest, if he was from Jiangnan, it would be more convenient, but he is not.

From this point of view, Nian Gengyao's ability is indeed amazing.

What's even more astonishing is that he organized the Royal Navy. Compared with Cao Yong's spending money to buy people's hearts and make the soldiers work hard for them, what Nian Gengyao gave them was a future.

Because Nian Gengyao said that they are directly under the Royal Navy, and now that Prince Xun is here, what doubts do they have?

This navy was established by Long Live Lord, what is the money?It is good to be powerful, to be an official, to honor the ancestors.

Now, Lord Fourteen has come to the naval camp in person, not to mention boosting morale, those marines all stared wide-eyed, Prince!

This is the first time in my life.

Prince Xun has been here for so long, so many dignitaries want to ask for a meeting, but it is difficult. Those big businessmen even hold tens of millions of money, and want to ask for a meeting, but the Fourteenth Lord is not there.

These big soldiers, they saw it!

Nian Gengyao took the Fourteenth Master to see the entire naval camp, and the Fourteenth Master even went to their dormitory.

However, the dormitory is very messy, full of old men, and there is a sour smell. After the fourteenth master saw it, he still kept smiling.

Nian Gengyao felt a little ashamed: "Master Fourteen, why don't you go and see them practicing firecrackers?"

"That's called a submachine gun." Fourteenth Master corrected him: "No, let's go to the back kitchen and see, what do they usually eat?"

"Okay." Nian Gengyao is still very confident about this: "We still have some sea fish that we salvaged in the back kitchen."

When he arrived at the back kitchen, Fourteenth Master saw a big seafood market.

Really, there are all kinds of sea fish, fishy and smelly, and there are indeed fresh ones.

Thirty to fifty chefs are cleaning sea fish, pork, chicken, and some seafood.

It even has its own tofu workshop, where you can grind tofu and drink hot soy milk.

It's just that the hygienic conditions are not very good. This is the case in this era. It's enough to ensure that people don't eat bad stomachs.

When the Huotou army saw such a group of people coming in, they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.

"Get up, I'm eating here today, give me the rice, wash the dishes, do whatever I need to do, I'm waiting for dinner." The fourteenth master is generous.

The Huo Toujun were in trouble.

The Fourteenth Master went out, Nian Gengyao turned his head and glanced at the boss of Huotoujun, who was sweating coldly, how could a place like them be clean?

But who knew that Fourteenth Master and Mr. Nian were here?

"Get up quickly, go wash the vegetables, go wash the fish! Wash them all for me, even better than your mother-in-law." The boss of Huotoujun, one head and two big: "Wash the rice for me again, wash Three times, dare to have a grain of sand, and eat sand in the future!"

The Firehead Army quickly got to work.

Fourteenth Master went to Nian Gengyao's place.

Nian Gengyao also has an office and a place to live here.

His office is very large, it is a suite, the outside is a place for business affairs, and the inside is his bedroom.

The place is clean, and there are many fruits inside, without incense.

The windows are covered with fine gauze, so no mosquitos will come in. The Fourteenth Master is very satisfied with the environment here. This is the first time since he came in that he thinks this place is good.

As for the others, they all have to be changed!
