Fairy Road Return [comprehensive]

Guangzhou, Guangzhou at this time is not as prosperous as later generations, but because of Yinhu's actions in the past few years, the Qing Dynasty's economic growth is rapid, and Lixie's actions in the coastal area make the environment here better than Yunyao's first time traveling By the time of the Qing Dynasty, the environment was much better.

After leaving the capital, Yunyao can show her talents. Fu Ming and Lu Fei still went to train with Li Xie. Yunyao and the housekeeper Li Chongzhou took over the business started by Lu Fei and Fu Ming.Fu Ming and Lu Fei are not business geniuses. For nearly two years, they did not lose money by relying on buying and selling from Guangzhou to the capital.

Ten days after arriving in Guangzhou, Yunyao sorted out all the affairs and began to invest large sums of money in a short-term investment business with a high rate of return. Then, she used the money she earned back to book a large-capacity and stronger sea-going ship at the shipyard. The flag is for doing business in the ocean, for sailing, the ship must be stronger.There is also the purchase of grain, which needs to go overseas, and naturally requires a large amount of grain.

But don't worry, you can only plan slowly.

It's been more than two months since I arrived in Guangzhou, Yunyao and Lixie have already got their hands on things here.Li Xie led his 10,000+ navy to run rampant in the entire East China Sea and South China Sea, which belonged to the Qing Dynasty. He fought several times with the Portuguese who occupied Macau. According to Li Xie's temper, he naturally wanted to drive the Portuguese Going out, but it involves diplomatic issues, and they will definitely have to deal with Portugal in the future, so this matter can not be forced.What's more, Li Xie's attitude is tough. The Portuguese have loosened up and are going to alienate their country. It shouldn't be long before the two sides can resolve this issue peacefully.

The Portuguese have become obedient, so it will be the turn of the Wa Kingdom, and the anti-Qing Fuming organization that splits in Taiwan. The important personnel of the seven or eight noble families of the Japanese kingdom who plundered and killed sea merchants all day long were all killed.

Moreover, Li Xie also handed the letter of credence to the Emperor of Japan, telling him that if he sees Japanese pirates rampant in the waters of the Qing Dynasty again and snatches the passing Qing merchant ships, then next time he will not give the Emperor any face and directly lead the The army of the Qing Dynasty set foot on the capital of the Japanese country.

Lixie's good news came back to the capital again and again, and the court officials had mixed reactions.

The old-fashioned and decadent scholar-bureaucrats think that China is a state of etiquette, Sibeile's behavior is too bloody, and they should have a tolerant attitude towards other countries.

Also take the example of the Mongolian tribes who came back to Beijing to meet each other, and the emperor rewarded them with gifts, which fully demonstrated the demeanor of a big country.

Kangxi felt that it didn't matter, this was an opportunity to show the national strength of the Qing Dynasty and the majesty of his emperor.

However, Yinhu retorted with a black face at the next moment, and left a very classic sentence at the court meeting: people are stupid and money comes quickly!

Kangxi's whole person is not well, not only him, but also those scholar-bureaucrats who said they want to show the demeanor of a great country, and the military generals who have always been belligerent are eager to try. , They also want to go to the battlefield.

Coincidentally, in July and August, the surrounding small countries went to Beijing to pay homage, including Koryo, and Tsarist Russia also sent envoys to the Qing Dynasty.This matter was handed over to Yinhu by Kangxi, and he wanted to see how his son who said "people are stupid and money comes quickly" how to deal with foreign countries.

Here, Li Xie left from the island of Wa Kingdom and set foot on the island of Taiwan. He came for the Heaven and Earth Society.I accidentally caught a member of the Tiandihui in Guangzhou before, and learned from him that the headquarters of the Tiandihui is in Taiwan.Although Taiwan does not have the Zheng brothers as a backer, the Tiandihui can still buy other Taiwanese officials, especially the navy stationed in Fujian and Taiwan. Otherwise, how could the Tiandihui members travel between the two places again and again ?

Lixie was cleaning up military discipline in Taiwan and Fujian, and Yunyao happened to meet an important person. This important person was Dai Zi, a firearms expert who was exiled to Shengjing in the 27th year of Kangxi.

This is the task that Hou Yong and ten members of the Wolf Warriors took over. Let them go to Liaodong to bring Dai Zi to Guangzhou. If he refuses to leave, he can be knocked unconscious and taken away.

Not to mention that Dai Zi is very arrogant. Although he was exiled by Kangxi, he has no rebellious heart towards the Qing Dynasty.Hou Yong and the others dealt with him for half a month, seeing that he was so stubborn, they had to be knocked out and taken away. After walking out of Shengjingdu for two days, Dai Zi woke up. Now that the matter had come to an end, he had no choice but to leave depressedly.

There is a specialization in art, even if Yunyao has blueprints of various guns/arms/ammunitions/medicines, but she has no patience to do this, and she can't bear to have a genius like Dai Zi buried, so that's why she picked him up.

"Si Fujin, I will not make firearms for Sibeile." Dai Zi drooped his head, his body was thin, his hair and beard were all white, and there was not a single black hair on his head. He was obviously younger than 50, but younger than 60. Older people are older.

Yun Yao smiled, and then said: "If my master can ask for a pardon decree for you, won't you have any worries?" He is afraid of being accused of a traitor by the court, so it doesn't matter to him, but he still has Wife and children.

Dai Zi finally raised his head, and nodded slowly after a while: "If there is the emperor's will, I am naturally willing to obey Sibeile's arrangement."

That's easy to say, Hou Yong and the others rushed to Li Xie's side after completing the task, and after telling Dai Zi's request, Li Xie agreed.It happened that he was in Fujian, and found out the officials in various armies colluding with the Tiandihui, cleared up the atmosphere of the army, and was about to report to Kangxi. Beijing.

By the way, at the end of the letter, I talked about Dai Zi's affairs. He has already gone to Guangzhou. He is a high-spirited man, and he did not follow his arrangement without your old man's will, so I gave him a copy of the pardon decree.

Kangxi has had a hard time recently, and the censor always takes trivial matters to participate in Sibei Le. Although he is all under the burden of the case, he is in a bad mood.

Kangxi already knew about Lixie's memorial to the officials who were imprisoned in front of him.The fourth son was stirring up the wind and rain outside, and he was implicated so that he hadn't entered the harem for a while to meet the concubine who was lucky.

Suddenly seeing Dai Zi at the end of the memorial, Kangxi was stunned for a moment. After thinking for a while, he summoned Prince Yu and Prince Jian, as well as Prince Zhijun, Crown Prince, Babeile, Suo'etu, Nalan Mingzhu and other important officials.

Dai Zi's case was considered a big case at the beginning, but after so many years, the imperial court's firearms battalion had no progress. Later, Kangxi really regretted exiling Dai Zi for a while, but later, when things got more and more, he was forgotten.What's more, as long as you are a normal person, you won't like Dai Zi. This person is proud of his talents and has a too cold temper. He is the emperor, not Dai Zi's father, so there is no need to bear with him.

Prince Yu and the others finally understood that the four beiles had kidnapped everyone and sent them to Guangzhou. The emperor couldn't hold back this son, and even if he didn't want to agree, he would have to agree, so Prince Yu and Prince Jane agreed to pardon Dai Zi.

Suo'etu and Nalan Mingzhu are good at observing words and feelings, especially sympathizing with others. It is obvious that the emperor is moved, and Dai Zi is not a big shot, so he will not affect the political structure of the government, so they both agreed.

Prince Zhijun and the crown prince naturally agreed, Babeile Yinhu nodded like garlic, as long as a firearms expert like Dai Zi is around, the firearms of the Qing Dynasty will only be more powerful than foreign countries in the future, how can he disagree?I hate that Nan Huairen passed away at an early age, but it is not too late, he will definitely expose the wolfish ambitions of these foreign missionaries.

If you are not a Chinese, your heart must be different!

After Li Xie received the imperial decree to pardon Dai Zi, it happened that the affairs in Fujian were also over, and all [-] marines returned to Guangzhou.The Portuguese may have known about Lixie’s crimes in Japan, Taiwan, and Fujian. The Portuguese diplomats arrived very quickly. When Lixie landed in Macau again, they had packed up and were ready to go to Beijing to negotiate with the Qing court.

The Portuguese moved their naval bases to Macau and Hong Kong as they moved forward.Macau and Hong Kong are separated by a strait, and the distance is very close. Now Hong Kong is still basically a deserted island. Only the New Territories in the north near the mainland have people. It is convenient for Lixie to use both Macau and Hong Kong Island.

As for the negotiations between the Portuguese and the imperial court, Li Xie is not worried. Although he and Yinhu hate each other, but Yinhu's later generations have traveled through time. He should know the importance of Macau to the Qing Dynasty. The interests are given to the Portuguese.

In fact, this is indeed the case. When Yinhu is receiving foreigners and negotiating, he will not give an inch.One is to die in order not to be imprisoned by Yongzheng for making political achievements, and the other is to be a century-old heartache as a later generation of Chinese people. Even if the real history is irreversible, this parallel time and space can save the Chinese people from that century-old disaster. gratified.

Therefore, the more capable Yinhu is, the more he is liked by noble girls of the Manchu and Eight Banners. After the two princesses in his backyard gave birth to two daughters again, people from all walks of life wanted to put their daughters in the backyard of Babeile, hoping that their own The daughter was the first to give birth to the eldest son of Babeile.

After coming to Macau, Yunyao was relatively free, leaving all business matters to Li Chongzhou, so she thought about doing other things, so she recruited [-] female soldiers.Leading female soldiers to train every day, and booked two more seagoing ships at the shipyard. The dozen or so seagoing ships she ordered before have all been delivered, and they are being given to members of the Wolf Warriors and Lihuo teams by Lixie They operate proficiently.

What happened in the capital, someone would send a letter to tell Yunyao and them. After receiving letters from several managers, Yunyao would read every letter carefully.

Yinhu naturally knew about having two more daughters.

Yunyao was speechless at once, supposedly, as the son of the heaven and earth, Yinhu shouldn't be so unlucky, having eight daughters in a row, eight golden flowers, I'm afraid it will inevitably be discussed.

As winter was approaching, the temperature in Macau was warmer than the capital, and Lixie was more intense. Even if the temperature dropped, he would not feel cold even if he wore at most two layers of clothes.

Li Xie came back from the outside with a murderous look, but his face was a bit smelly.

"What's wrong?" Yun Yao asked him.

Li Xie twitched the corner of his mouth, and flashed a sneer: "It's nothing, the funds, food and weapons from the imperial court have arrived, but it's obvious that they have been tampered with, and the quantity and quality are wrong."

After thinking about it, it will be the beginning of November, and Li Xie immediately said: "I will go back to Beijing to completely solve the military funds, food and weapons. This time I want them to remember this lesson deeply, let them Thinking of wanting to do hands and feet in the future, I feel cold all over."

Hubu Shangshu and Bingbu Shangshu should have forgotten his profound dialogue with them, he will help them remember, no matter who is involved, he will string them all together!

Yun Yao nodded, she didn't want to go back to Beijing, and returning to Beijing meant being locked up in the backyard by rules.

Li Xie pried open the mouths of the captain of the logistics team and the officials sent by the household department who escorted the food, grass and weapons, and then followed their route out of Beijing, arresting all the officials, large and small, who participated in this route. When he got up, it really became a long string. His action was very big. Before he entered Beijing, Kangxi and all the officials knew about it.

Kangxi imagined that a series of officials, even if they were locked in the prison car, were still connected in series, and the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched.The courtiers can't do it. Some officials who have tampered with secretly are thinking about retreating. Can they be implicated?They felt that they hadn't participated in the battle in person, and Si Baylor had nothing to do with it, so they should not be implicated.

The Minister of the Household Department and the Minister of the Ministry of War were a little depressed. They did not do anything wrong. The funds, food, grass and weapons that should be distributed to the cities along the coast were approved according to the normal process.These secret mice, did they turn a blind eye to Si Baylor's vicious reputation this year, and dare to play tricks on Si Baylor's affairs, don't they know that he is a scumbag?It's just officials like them who don't follow the obscure rules of the officialdom and get into his hands.

At the end of November, Li Xie escorted a group of officials who committed crimes into Beijing. At the same time, on the first day he entered Beijing, he led an army of hundreds of people and directly surrounded the residences of some ministers. For those people, before Lixie sent them to the big prison, they were fined a hundred times the amount. Basically, they collected 30 million taels of silver from each family. For a dozen of them, he collected 300 to [-] million taels.As for these officials entering the sky prison, how the court sentencing is a matter for Kangxi and the court.

Fu Ming, Lu Fei, Hou Yong and You Hua have been by Li Xie's side for a long time, turning a blind eye to his shameless deeds. Thinking that more than [-] marines have to eat and drink, they secretly admire in their hearts, good job!

After the last family left, Li Xie asked Hou Yong and the others to take the soldiers out of the city, and he took two or three people to visit the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Minister of the Ministry of Households. Although the two adults did not do anything this time, it was because of their ineffective supervision. Well, he had to let them remember that next time, their position as Shangshu should be given up.

Later, Li Xie entered the palace to meet Kangxi.

Kangxi felt that many of his ideas were broken by the fourth and eighth sons one after another. However, he thought that the things that would shake the foundation of the country finally found that they did not shake the foundation of the country, but the court was getting better and better. This is a bit incredible.

Also, he felt that it was difficult for some ministers to work hard to support their families, so he allowed them to borrow money from the treasury.Not long ago, he just learned from the Ministry of Household Affairs that the latest data on courtiers' debts to the treasury seemed to be increasing.Today, those people who were threatened by the fourth son to take money to avoid the disaster, each household borrowed money from the household department, but they easily took out 30 to [-] taels, but borrowed money from the household department again and again... ...Does he think he's being too merciful?

"More than 300 million taels, what are you going to do?" Kangxi was a little moved, the treasury is not rich!

Li Xie glanced at him, and said: "There are many places to spend money, so don't think about my money. Those people have just been sent to prison, and their families are very rich, so don't you spend a few more 10 taels?" Question, isn’t it a way to make money if you let them get money out of jail? Anyway, their crimes are not big enough, and if they cut their officials, they can just pay a fine.”

Kangxi immediately blew his beard and stared: "Nonsense, I am a majestic emperor, how can I do such a thing?"

Li Xie shrugged: "Then there is nothing I can do to help."

Kangxi really can't do this. These people are all children of the Eight Banners, and there are many in-laws. After they were taken away, the family members began to run away.Then Yinhu got a headache, and the courtiers knew that Babeile was easy to talk, so they begged him one after another, especially some of them were officials of his lineage.

Coming out of the Imperial Study Room, Li Xie first went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to greet the Queen Mother, and then went to the Palace of Yonghe.

Fourteen was away, and the fifth and seventh princesses came to see the fourth brother specially. Since the fate of the two sisters was known by Kangxi and Concubine De, the marriage of the two sisters might be a little difficult.The seventh princess is still young, but the fifth princess has already passed, and the son-in-law that Kangxi was optimistic about before is not feasible.If you want to make a marriage, you must inform the other party about the situation of the fifth princess, otherwise what should you do if something happens?Definitely have to find a willing person!

This time Li Xie stayed a little longer, had a meal in Yonghe Palace before leaving the palace.On the second day, he went to the palace to meet Kangxi again, and after leaving the palace, he left the capital with his soldiers.The canal was blocked, so they came to Tianjin by land, took a Shanghai boat from Tianjin's deep bay area, and returned directly to Macau with the other half of the people waiting here.

On the other side of the capital, Zhijun Wang and others were all bored in the study drinking after Lixie left the capital.Thinking of the boundless glory of the fourth child, which one of them would not be envious?

Especially the prince, he is more envious of the freedom of the fourth son, but due to his status, he can't be as free as the fourth son. He has the hope of the ministers who support him behind him, especially the Hesheli family. Yi Clan is determined to be with him. If he doesn't fight, I'm sorry for my uncle's heart for him.

Lixie has nothing to do with court disputes and power struggles, and he has no time to pay attention to people in his nest.

Back in Macau, Li Xie and Yun Yao brought their soldiers to train, even in the ice and snow, until the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, when everyone was given a holiday.

During the holiday, Yunyao and her two can enjoy the world of two.In the past ten or so days, the two of them have traveled almost every inch of land near the sea on the two islands of Macau and Hong Kong.

Years later, the fifth day of the Lunar New Year holiday will be sold out.

Li Chongzhou led his master's order to go to the southwest to recruit people, especially craftsmen, carpenters and other craftsmen, especially some women, and he didn't dislike baby girls.Especially in some backward and remote ignorant places, there is a serious preference for sons over daughters. Many baby girls are drowned immediately after birth. Li Chongzhou keeps people in these places. If he doesn't want to raise baby girls, he can give them to them, or they can buy them with money. also.

Yunyao and her female soldiers took two boats between the Wolf Warriors and Lihuo teams. For the past three months, they only sailed in the South China Sea for the time being. On the stone tablet are the names they gave these islands, which is antique and full of Chinese charm.

Training in the sea every day, looking for edible things in the sea, learning to distinguish the weather at sea, this is the task that everyone must learn.

Until May, Li Chongzhou returned with the men he had recruited from various places. There were still people living in Macau, and there were no people living in the areas near the sea on Hong Kong Island. These people were resettled on Hong Kong Island, and those recruited women, From baby girls to ten-year-old girls, they are on the Macau side, and Yunyao assigns them to Mo Xiang and Mo Yu to take care of them.

Back in Macau, Li Xie and Yun Yao started to prepare for the long voyage to Australia.Since arriving in Macau a year ago, Yunyao was in charge of preparing food, and Lixie was in charge of preparing weapons. After August, it happened to be spring in Australia, and it was time to start farming. Yunyao and the others sailed at sea for more than a month. , just arrived in Australia.

With a detailed voyage map to Australia, the fleet of Yunyao and Lixie will definitely save a lot of trouble. This is all thanks to the blessing of Yunyao's first crossing to the Qing Dynasty. This time they are completely following the precise plan. There may be small errors in the route and route due to weather and other reasons, but there will be absolutely no major/trouble.

I don't know what happened to the mother and son Tong Yizhen and Tong Ange?Yun Yao thought of them silently in her heart.

Li Chongzhou, Hou Yong, and Fu Ming will stay on the Qing side for the time being. Li Chongzhou will continue to recruit people, preferably teachers, farmland experts, handicraft experts, and adult women. Body, these are talents!Hou Yong and Fu Ming will be stationed at the naval base, and they will continue to train new soldiers.

There is a lack of manpower, so they can't be so ostentatious, Yunyao and Lixie are not easy to do.Thinking of Tong Yizhen's meeting, the Tong family had thousands of people themselves, and with these thousands of people laying the foundation, it was much smoother than the two of them.

But everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as you gain a firm foothold in Australia, things will be much easier later on.

In mid-June, Li Xie and Yun Yao led a dozen sea ships all the way to Australia.This road stops and stops, and when encountering certain islands, they will stop to replenish fresh water, and erect a stone tablet for the island, and the name of the island is on the stone tablet.

However, because Yunyao is very familiar with this route, she even knows exactly which islands are there, so she directly brought all the sets from the Tong family back then, saving time and effort.

At the beginning of August, more than a dozen ships were preparing to land in Australia, but it is not called Australia now, and even the bay and sea area in front of it have been renamed, and this piece of land is named Xiazhou.

Anyway, after they established a political power in Xiazhou, the name of the country was also omitted, and it was still called Xia Huaguo.

The port of landing is also called Yanhuang Port, and the construction of Xiazhou started from Yanhuang Port, but the manpower is limited, so it can only be done slowly.And Li Xie can't stay here for a long time at Xiazhou, he has two months at most, if he disappears for a long time, he will be noticed by Kangxi, if Kangxi knows that he has started a new life, he doesn't know how angry he will be!

It happened to be spring here in Xiazhou, and immediately after Yunyao and the others landed in Yanhuang Port, she immediately assigned some people to farm in fertile land.Some people built houses, and the craftsmen asked them to fire up the kilns first, and burn the green bricks and red bricks to build buildings, etc. These things were arranged in an orderly manner.

Lixie only stayed for two months, and when Xiazhou entered summer in November, he took half of the members of the Wolf Warriors team and one-third of the members of the Lihuo team and returned to the Qing Dynasty on a half-sea boat.

Lu Fei and You Hua stayed in Xiazhou to assist Yunyao in building Yanhuang Port. It was only at this time that they knew what their master was planning. Although they were a little worried about being discovered by the emperor, they had a dark feeling in their hearts. Witnessing the establishment of a country with their own eyes, they will definitely occupy a very important position in the country that they watched bit by bit in the future, and it will only last forever!

On the Qing side, when Lixie arrived in Macau, it was already December. Even the dry coastal area was still affected by the weather, and the temperature was only a few degrees.

Soon, Kangxi's greeting letter arrived, asking him why he hadn't heard from him for the past three months.Have you run into any trouble?Or did they fight with foreigners at sea?
