[Qing wear + Red House] Lin's Royal Concubine

The person who stood out had deep eye sockets and a high nose bridge, which was quite different from the ordinary Han Manchus. His white beard and beard looked messy and had no sense of beauty at all.

Surprisingly, it was the missionary Nan Huairen who came across the ocean.

"You spitting blood!" Dai Zi immediately blew out his beard and stared in astonishment, then plopped down on his knees, and shouted palely, "Your Majesty is clearly aware that I have never cheated on Japanese pirates!"

Kangxi stared at him for a while with a gloomy face, then turned to Nan Huairen, "Do you have evidence?"

"I have a letter to prove it." As he spoke, he took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his sleeve and said, "This letter was written by Japanese pirates. Blueprints for making renju guns."

After taking a quick look at the letter presented by Li Dequan, Kangxi's expression became even more gloomy and terrifying, "Show it to Master Dai."

Dai Zi held the flimsy piece of paper in both hands, but it seemed to weigh a thousand catties. His hands trembled violently, and his face turned pale for a while.

"Master Dai, what else do you have to say?" Kangxi asked coldly.

"I am wronged... I am wronged! I have never had anything to do with the Japanese pirates, and I have never seen this trustworthy minister. Someone must have deliberately framed the minister, please ask the emperor for enlightenment!" After finishing speaking, he kowtowed again and again.

He used to be not good at speaking and only buried himself in the pile of parts every day, and even rarely interacted with people on weekdays. Now he was even more incapable of speaking, and could only keep repeating "wrong".

But at this moment, another person stood up.

"My Majesty, I also heard something some time ago... Mr. Dai seems to be in private with the remnants of the previous dynasty..."

It was Chen Tongyan, a traitor from the rebel army, who said this.

This time it really hit Kangxi's lungs.

If you want to ask him who he is most afraid of and most guarded against, it must be the remnants of the previous dynasty. In his eyes, no old man, Japanese pirate, or Goryeo stick can compare to the remnants of the previous dynasty!

What is robbed is robbed after all. It can be said that Kangxi is almost always on guard against others coming back again. Even though he knows that the situation of Manchu is very good now, it is almost difficult for the remnants of the previous dynasty to cause much trouble, but deep down in his heart, he still can't help it. Always be on the alert.

After all, the majority of the people in the world are Han people, and one mouthful of saliva is enough to drown the Manchus. Who knows how many of these Han people still yearn for their "orthodoxy"?How could he not be afraid?

He could clearly see the power of firearms. Once such a big weapon fell into the hands of the remnants of the previous dynasty, it would definitely be a fatal blow to the Manchus!

Thinking of this, Kangxi looked at Dai Zi with extremely cold eyes.

"Your Majesty." Lin Ruhai stepped forward with a big stride, and said, "We can all see what Mr. Dai has done these years, and we can get into that pile of broken copper and iron with a little effort on weekdays and can't get out. Not to mention that he worked hard to climb the ladder, but he has never even met people before. It is really unconvincing for such a person to say that he would betray the court and the emperor for some gold and silver. ah."

"It's just a letter. You can have as much as you want. What's the difference between talking and talking?"

"Master Lin, you mean that I framed him?" Nan Huairen frowned, his face was angry, his original white skin was completely red, and he looked like he had been greatly humiliated.

Lin Ruhai glanced at him, then looked at Kangxi, and said, "I still remember that Master Nan Huairen once showed off his country's mother-of-pearl cannon to the emperor, threatening that only their country could make it, but Master Dai only used eight The mother-child cannon was built within a few days, but Master Nan Huairen was so angry that he walked away on the spot."

This passage can't help pulling back everyone's thoughts. At that time, Nan Huairen's expression as if he had eaten a fly was so funny.

When they looked at Nan Huairen again, everyone couldn't help but look suspicious, and even Kangxi frowned slightly.

Nan Huairen was so angry that he pointed at Lin Ruhai's nose and wanted to refute, but the other party opened his mouth and blocked him back.

"Also, the envoys from the Netherlands once gave us the sniper guns with the pangut shotguns, and it only took five days for Master Dai to successfully imitate ten sniper rifles that were gifted to the Netherlands in return. The blunderbuss and the improved son-and-mother cannon are even more powerful... All these are enough to show the talents of Mr. Dai, and he can definitely be called the No. It is a huge obstacle in front of the enemy army."

The last sentence is obvious.

Nan Huairen is a foreigner. Although he has stayed in the Qing Dynasty for decades, after all... people who are not of our race must have a different heart!

And Chen Tongyan, since he was able to betray the rebel army and join the Qing court, why can't he betray the Qing court now?He is a treacherous person in his bones, can such a traitor be trusted?Maybe he was the one who was bought!

At least compared to him, Dai Zi is really honest and dutiful. His usual style is more like a dull old pedant than an official.

When everyone looked at each other and hesitated to riot, Zhang Ying also stood up.

"Your Majesty, I think what Master Lin said is not unreasonable. There is no need to doubt Master Dai's character. If Master Dai has been able to act perfectly and deceive everyone in the court all these years..."

Many people shook their heads at the same time, the court is a place where old foxes fight, how can they walk everyone to play?

Zhang Ying went on to say: "On the contrary, Master Nan Huairen does have old grudges against Master Dai, and as a foreigner, it is not impossible to be afraid of Master Dai's ability. They are all their own country, which is just human nature.”

"Before Mr. Dai, the firearms of the Qing Dynasty had always been dependent on foreigners. Every time they got their hands, they were eliminated by them. If it happened to us one day, we would only be beaten, and they could even directly Strangling us by the throat, but now the situation is very different with Mr. Dai, and it is not uncommon for others to be jealous and hostile, and want to get rid of it soon."

"My minister seconded the proposal! Lord Dai must have been deliberately framed by traitors, and his sinister intentions are heinous! Please also learn from the emperor!"

"Slaves second!"

……

In an instant, about half of the ministers in the court stood up.

Dai Zi also seized the opportunity and hurriedly said: "I swear to the sky, if I collude with any Japanese pirates and the remnants of the previous dynasty to betray the Qing Dynasty, I will let the sky strike me with lightning and strike me to death without a place to die!"

"Your Majesty and all your lords, don't be fooled by him." Chen Tongyan shouted heartbrokenly: "If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask someone to search Lord Dai's house to see if there is any gold and then you will know the truth."

"That's right, the emperor might as well send someone to search and find out." Nan Huairen glanced coldly at the ministers, finally landed on Dai Zi, and said sarcastically, "If all the criminals swear to prove their innocence, that's fine." , then what’s the use of evidence and laws?”

Lin Ruhai raised his eyelids and glanced at him, then said coolly: "I remember that Mr. Nan Huairen is a Jesuit? Why don't you swear to your Jesus too?"

"you……"

You, you, you... You haven't been able to utter a single extra word for a long time, and your face has turned green, but you still haven't been able to utter the poisonous oath.

Looking at his appearance, what else do you not know?Nine times out of ten it's just a guilty conscience.

Chen Tongyan almost didn't faint from the anger, if it wasn't for the wrong occasion, he could only want to grab the old man by his collar and ask him, how could he be so self-confident!

However, as a Han Chinese, how could he understand the "faith" in the hearts of these foreigners?

The Yinti and Yinfeng brothers, who had just entered the court and had no right to speak, couldn't bear it any longer, and stood up to guide Huairen and Chen Tongyan, demanding that Kangxi severely punish this person with ulterior motives.

Kangxi was really so angry that he ordered people to capture Nan Huairen and Chen Tongyan and send them to prison on the spot. He refused to listen to his excuses and even sent someone to search Dai Zi's house. He knew it with his toes. , a search will surely find it.

"Shut up! If you have anything to say, go to the prison and say it!"

The guards covered their mouths in a hurry and took the two of them down, causing everyone to be stunned.

Never expected that because of a belief, it would be exposed so quickly?The brains of foreigners... what are they thinking?

Dai Zi, who escaped from the dead, breathed a sigh of relief, his grateful eyes aimed straight at Lin Ruhai, Zhang Ying and the others, but he still had time to breathe a sigh of relief...

"Although this matter was harmed by a traitor, it is true that the blueprints were leaked, and Mr. Dai is suspected of dereliction of duty...Come here, pick off his top Dai Hualing."

Does this mean that Dai Zi will be dismissed from office?

Everyone was stunned, their faces full of astonishment.

Does the emperor not know the importance of Dai Zi?How can such a person be dismissed from office?

"emperor!"

Lin Ruhai was interrupted by Kangxi just after he spoke, "You don't need to say any more!"

It's a final decision, there is no need to discuss it.

Soon, Dai Zi was kicked out of the palace with his head bare and his face in a trance.

After dealing with these, the court began to discuss the Japanese pirates' rebellion.

The methods of the Japanese pirates were too cruel and vicious, which made the civil servants and military officials in the court full of anger. They gritted their teeth with hatred when they mentioned it. Naturally, they all wanted to send troops to wipe them out, but there was a very real problem in front of you.

The Japanese pirates have always only wandered around the sea. After the looting this time, they immediately returned to the sea. It is not easy to clean up. Besides, the Qing's sea combat capabilities are not very strong. It can almost be said that it has always been a shortcoming. up.

But if you don't send troops, it's obviously impossible.

One is that this matter is too bad, and the common people must be given an explanation; the other is that if the Japanese pirates are not given a severe blow this time, they will definitely come again in the near future, and it will become more and more rampant; the third is that if the attitude of the Qing Dynasty is so Weak, the other neighbors next to him are afraid that they will follow suit. By then, the coastal areas of the Qing Dynasty should become the territory where wolves, tigers and leopards are rampant.

Finally, as the king of the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi's dignity would never allow himself to let it go.

"Huang Ama, my son is requesting an order to exterminate the Japanese pirates!" Yinti strode out and raised his voice.

Mingzhu thought for a while, and said: "Big Baylor is young and brave, and it's time for him to practice hard. This sea battle is really a rare opportunity. It's good to ask Big Baylor to go with him to gain experience."

The implication is that Big Baylor is still young, and the first time he participated in a naval battle is to ask the child to follow to learn more.

In the end, he was also a little worried about the Qing's naval warfare capabilities, so he removed the pot from Yinti's head first. If he lost or won a tragic victory, it would be the fault of others, and it was the first time he participated in the battle. It doesn't matter if your child is a child, if you win a big victory, then naturally you won't get any credit for it.

Suo'etu, who saw through his thoughts, immediately cursed "Old Fox" secretly, and then stood up and said: "The sea is no better than land after all, and the wind and clouds are extremely dangerous. After all, Dabeile is the eldest son of the emperor, so don't take risks easily..."

"Ms. Suo's words are wrong." Yinti frowned, "Why can't other people be able to go to the master? How can the battlefield be dangerous? It doesn't matter if it's a sea battle or a land battle, and it doesn't matter if it's a Japanese pirate or some old man, whoever offends me Great Qing, I will die in battle with no regrets!"

"Okay!" Kangxi couldn't help laughing, looking at the eldest son's eyes full of relief and moving, "If my son of the Qing Dynasty is as brave and fearless as Baoqing, then what is there to be afraid of? The country will be safe and prosperous!"

As soon as this remark came out, many flatterers immediately echoed it.

Suo'etu's eyes darkened in an instant, and he glanced at the prince.

Unexpectedly, Yinfeng didn't look at him at all, but looked at the scene in front of him cheerfully, as if he had already forgotten what Suo'etu said earlier, and he didn't realize the crisis at all.

After confirming the generals for the expedition, Li Dequan announced his withdrawal from the court, but before leaving, Kangxi ordered Yinti Yinfeng, Suo'etu, Mingzhu, Fuquan Changning and others to go to Qianqing Palace.

Looking at the backs of those people leaving, Lin Ruhai couldn't help frowning slightly, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

If it is an ordinary political discussion, it is impossible to leave him, Zhang Ying and others aside, but if it is not for the political discussion, what is the reason for suddenly calling these people to the Qianqing Palace together?

While walking out, Lin Ruhai couldn't stop speculating in his heart, when he suddenly heard a small voice from beside him.

"Those are all decent people."

A word to awaken the dreamer.

Lin Ruhai tilted his head, and Zhang Ying looked at each other, and they both saw a little doubt and seriousness spreading in their eyes.

What exactly does the emperor want to do?

They soon found out—the emperor actually ordered the firearms battalion to be banned!

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

What is the firearm camp?The most important task is to be responsible for the research and manufacture of shells, gunpowder and various firearms, which are extremely important arsenals!

Now that such a department was suddenly ordered to be banned, it revealed a very important signal-the emperor probably wanted to restrict the development and use of firearms on purpose.

How can this work?Nowadays, the battlefield is often fought with firearms. How can we fight without firearms?Take horseshoes and knives to fight other people's guns?Isn't this a joke?

No wonder even Dai Zi was dismissed directly, but it turned out to be such an idea, what was the emperor thinking?

The ministers were shocked, and even a little bit at a loss for a while, completely unable to understand why the always wise emperor would suddenly issue such an order.

Little did they know, it was precisely what Chen Tongyan said that stabbed Kangxi's lungs and caused it.

Although today's incident was deliberately framed by people with ulterior motives, it is a fact that the firearms were leaked to the Japanese pirates, and since they can be leaked to the Japanese pirates today, who can guarantee that they will not be controlled by the remnants of the previous dynasty in the future?

At that time, the iron cavalry of the Manchus successfully opened the gates of the former dynasty, and the ability to win the Han people with less victory and more was based on the kung fu on horseback. That is to say, the advantage of the Manchus will no longer exist. Once the Han Chinese fight back, how should they deal with such a pitiful number of Manchus?It's not enough for people to bombard them with a few cannonballs.

If you want this country to be stable, you must not give up the advantages of the Manchus anyway. Therefore, the restrictions on firearms must be tightened, and they must not be allowed to develop into the main weapon on the battlefield.

From Kangxi's point of view, such a choice is actually a reasonable one. It is true that a few people rule the majority. There are many risks. It exploded.

"What about the wolves, tigers, and leopards outside? The old Maozi before, the Japanese pirates now, and the Koryo Bangzi next door who has never been very obedient. What is Qing planning to use to fight people? How could he give up his firearms just to defend against the Han people!" Isn't this purely faulty?

Lin Shiyu poured down a whole bowl of tea, barely suppressing the evil fire, just in case he said something outrageous.

"You agree too?"

Seeing her uneasy expression, Yinreng shook his head again and again to express his attitude, "Baoqing and I actually disagree, but Huang Ama... Mainly Suo Xiang, Ming Xiang and several princes also think that we should take precautions before they happen. .”

Only then did Lin Shiyu's complexion improve a little bit. After all, he is a young and energetic boy, but relatively speaking, he should be more daring and have the courage to move forward.

"Firearms must not be discarded no matter what! Not only can't be discarded, but it is reasonable to vigorously develop! Now this move is certainly to retain the advantage of Manchurians, but such an advantage can be considered in the face of foreign enemies' firearms. what?"

"We are still riding horses and shooting arrows behind closed doors. The guns outside have been changed generation after generation. By then...their artillery fire can easily blow open our door, just like the Manchu iron cavalry kicked away the Han people. Baocheng, the times are different now, firearms are the key to victory on the battlefield! The Han people are not the enemy of the Manchus, but the wolves, tigers and leopards outside are our common enemy.”

Yinfeng nodded thoughtfully, wondering: "But Huang Ama's attitude is very firm, the order has already been issued at this moment, I am afraid it will be difficult to change it."

Lin Shiyu's lips were drawn into a straight line, rarely serious and gloomy.

After pondering for a moment, he said: "I have never dared to ask anything about court affairs, but this matter... is of great importance. I must not stand by and let mistakes happen!"

"Emperor Niang?" Yinreng's face changed suddenly, and he lowered his voice to persuade: "It is a taboo for the harem to meddle in politics, Huang Ama will be angry! I know that Huang Erniang is for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, but the bottom line is very important." You can't step on it, leave it to me and Baoqing to think of a way, don't be impatient for the emperor's mother, if it doesn't work...in the future..."

Lin Shiyu understood what he meant, but shook her head, "It's too late, even if it's only ten or eight years behind, there is a huge gap. If it was really so deserted for decades, the Qing Dynasty must have been abandoned by now. The outside world is far behind, and I can't catch it."

Although today's Dai Zi was not dispatched to Shengjing to live a miserable life like in history, he was dismissed from his job and abandoned. If it really goes on like this, geniuses can be ground into waste. Besides, he is now in his prime. It is the time when a person's mind and energy are at their best, so what a pity to waste it at this time?How many decades and 20 years can be wasted by one person?

It's such a shame, it hurts just thinking about it.

Yinfeng sighed, and continued to comfort him: "Mother Huang Er, don't worry, I will contact the officials of the former court to persuade Huang Ama. No matter what, you can't mention this matter to him, it's too taboo."

Looking at the worried and anxious eyes of the child, Lin Shiyu nodded silently, as a response.

"Okay, you can go first, Dai Zi...remember to take care of him, he is a great talent."

"Don't worry, Queen Mother."

Seeing the back of the young man leaving, Lin Shiyu even wanted to kick Kangxi off the dragon chair for a moment and let Baocheng take over.

This man cannot be said to be unwise. In fact, he is a good emperor most of the time, and he can be regarded as a wise emperor for the country and the people, but sometimes he is really irritating.

She didn't believe that Kangxi would not be aware of the importance of firearms, but he still chose to do so. It can be seen that in his heart, Han people are always the number one confidant, even better than those surrounding countries that are covetous.

What should I say?It's just an inferiority complex.

Perhaps Kangxi himself has not realized that some of the decisions made by his grandparents and grandchildren when facing the Han people have already fully revealed their timidity and lack of self-confidence.

I don't know if this "root of the disease" will spread to Baocheng in the future, I hope it won't.

Thinking of Dai Zi who was dismissed, I can't help but think of the little reference suggestions she gave at the end of last year. I don't know if he has researched some clues. If he succeeds in researching the overall military strength, he will definitely be able to improve his overall military strength. , It's a pity that it's in such a situation now.

"Ripple." Lin Shiyu beckoned, and whispered in his ear: "Send a message to the family, tell father that no matter what, he must find a way to persuade the emperor to withdraw his order, the firearms camp cannot be banned, and Dai Zi must not give up! "

Lianyi nodded and left in a hurry.

But at this moment, a marriage decree fell on Prince Yinreng's head.
