Fairy Road Return [comprehensive]

After returning Kangxi's letter, Li Xie continued to discuss matters with Li Chongzhou, Fu Ming and Hou Yong.In the past three months, Li Chongzhou has been so busy that he has to take care of their business, take charge of the recruitment of manpower, and take care of the bases in Macau and Hong Kong to prevent anyone who wants to get in.Although there are Fu Ming and Hou Yong, but they are two young, and the master is not around, so he is not at ease, so he has to be busy with his old bones.

"My lord, how should the emperor respond when he finds out about this?" Knowing that Fujin was leading people to build infrastructure in Xiazhou, Li Chongzhou thought to himself, it seems that the master's plan is not small, no wonder the master is not showing off in the capital, It turned out that he didn't like the chair under the dragon's buttocks of the emperor. He has a wider sky, and his ambition is higher!

Li Xie nodded: "It's okay, I shouldn't be angry, am I doing this to honor him?" Even if he was angry, it was only temporary, and what was angry was that he didn't get a piece of the pie, but he should be very happy after accepting it, after all, this is His son added territory to the Qing Dynasty.What's more, it is better to be his son than foreigners occupying that unowned land!

Li Chongzhou pondered the same reasoning, if the Lord did too many things, the emperor's ability to bear would be strengthened, and he would no longer feel strange.In the past, he would feel scared. For example, the Lord brought Mr. Dai Zi here from Shengjing, and he successfully obtained a pardon from the emperor. end?Actually?It can be seen that regardless of whether the emperor is an emperor or not, he is also a father. Facing a stubborn son, a father usually cannot restrain his son's temper, so very good!

Fu Ming and Hou Yong were not idle either. In the past three months, they selected about a thousand soldiers, almost making up for the number of soldiers that the master did not bring back this time.

Li Xie has inspected the recruits in the past five days, all of them were born in poor families, and their ability to endure hardships and stand hard work is better than that of the young master, so they are very malleable.But the only bad thing is that most of these people have never read books, and they have to teach literacy from scratch.

Beijing.

After Kangxi received the reply, he didn't feel too much ups and downs in his heart, because after knowing that his fourth son had appeared in Macau safely, his heart that was hanging in the air had already been fulfilled.

Li Xie didn't mention anything about Xiazhou in his letter, but he wrote about what he saw on the road, saying that the outside world is huge, and he determined to go further, determined to plant the flag of the Qing Dynasty on every island in the sea.

Starting from Lixie, Kangxi thought of his other sons. Now that the dispute between the crown prince and Lao Ba could not be hidden, what should he do?The prince didn't have a big fault, the fault was that he was not as good as his younger brother, and was overwhelmed by his younger brother in everything.He claims to be a wise king and wants to choose the best heir for the Qing Dynasty. It is obvious that the crown prince has fallen to Lao Ba. If he chooses Lao Ba again, what should the prince do?As far as they are in the same situation, Lao Ba won't be able to tolerate him after he ascends the throne, right?What if the prince ascends the throne?Can he accommodate Lao Ba?There are also five, seven, nine, and ten.

Kangxi closed his eyes and sighed heavily in his heart, why not separate them too?This is not okay, he shook his head in denial.With their not very decisive temperament, sooner or later they will be encouraged by the people around them to commit big things, so it seems that nothing will work.

The news of Li Xie's appearance in Macau spread back to the capital. Those who didn't care dismissed it, while those who cared were a little distracted. The person who cared was naturally Yinhu.

Yinhu is basically completely sure that the fourth brother is the reborn 'Yongzheng'. He may know the disaster of the last century, so now he doesn't bother to fight for the throne, but fights with foreigners.

The prince's face was expressionless, not because of Li Xie, but because he had already foreseen his end, so he was making the last dying struggle.

Afterwards, although the news from the capital would lag behind, it always spread to Macau continuously. Li Xie only glanced at the disputes in Beijing and that's all.

It was Kangxi's birthday again in mid-March, and Li Xie hadn't returned to Beijing. He asked someone to bring back a generous gift early on. As for Kangxi's dissatisfaction, he couldn't see it anyway.

In May, Lixie led the voyage again. This time, Fu Ming and Hou Yong went with him. When they came back, they changed to Lu Fei and You Hua. The four of them changed, and Fu Ming and Hou Yong also trained their assistants. Yes, with Li Chongzhou watching, nothing will happen in a short time.

In half a year, Yanhuang Port has changed a lot.It was still winter in Xiazhou in July. Because of the temperature, the construction of Yanhuang Port slowed down a little.

However, Li Xie found that there were many more people with different descriptions and different clothes.

These are the natives of Xiazhou. Before they discovered that the strangers stationed in Yanhuang Port were very powerful and did not dare to act rashly. Or after Li Xie left, they launched a night attack one night?But they were all captured by Yunyao, and they didn't expect that Yunyao could understand their language. Later, after a series of negotiations, Yunyao took these natives as her own.

The temperature was very low, and people were dressed thickly, wrapped like a bear. Lu Fei and the others saw Li Xie, all with smiles in their eyes. The Hong Kong side has already harvested a season of grain, but it is definitely not enough to eat. Naturally, they hope that the more grain the better.

Yanhuang Port is well built, the residential area and the office area are separated, and they can be distinguished from the buildings alone.The most representative building is naturally the government affairs center, a domed building with a very large square in front of it. When you are tired from working during the day, everyone can enjoy the night view in the square at night when you are tired of working.

But this season, the weather is too cold, almost no one enjoys the night view in the square. After get off work, everyone goes back to the house in small groups to clean the pots.

It happened that Yunyao and Lixie were not afraid of the cold. Lixie and his fleet arrived in the morning, and he was never free during the whole day. , Whether it was Lu Fei and others or others, they all rushed to flatter him first.

Yun Yao murmured to herself, if she hadn't been very powerful and broad-minded, she would definitely have disliked him, maybe if she had a strong desire for power, after Xiazhou was built, the person next to her pillow would be able to murder him. Monopolize the feats of nation-building!

When she said this, Li Xie couldn't help laughing, and the two of them sat on the stone sill in the official arena, with the cold wind blowing past their ears.

"Okay, I'm looking forward to how you murdered me?" Li Xie hugged her and said in a low voice. The memory in his mind was not complete, but he felt very at ease hugging her.

Yun Yao rolled his eyes at him, and said with a sneer, "You should be angry." In this way, the story of the two of them might be written as a stinky and long bloody love story, the kind of love and killing each other.

Enough of being tired, talking about things in the Qing Dynasty, Yunyao is not in the Qing Dynasty. During the Chinese New Year, Li Xie sent the New Year gifts back to Beijing, but only Ulanara's family and Kangxi, Queen Mother, and Concubine De At the same time, the others were not prepared at all, which is why those noble lords and wives in the capital think that the Sibeiles and his wife are so wonderful.

"How long do you think the prince can last?" The dispute in the Qing Dynasty is now only between the prince and Yinhu, and no one else has a share. Even if it is the king of Zhijun, the prince can clearly see his situation. How about the king of Zhijun? Can't see clearly?However, King Zhijun has an advantage. If he doesn't fight, he won't fall to the point of doom, but the prince can't. If he fights or doesn't fight, the final result will be the same.

Li Xie shrugged: "It was amazing in 43 and 44 years. Although Suo'etu was dedicated to him, he couldn't stand him always challenging Kangxi's bottom line. His ending will not be better than in history."

In fact, the more Suo'etu jumps, the faster he dies. The way for him to protect himself now is to become an official. Whether it is him, the Hesheli family, or the prince, there may be a turning point. Unfortunately, Suo'etu is just a franchise. , He just wanted to put the prince on the throne, and the Hesheli family became the most prosperous family in the Qing Dynasty, just like the Tong family.

In August, the spring of Xiazhou is coming, and the construction of Yanhuang Port is speeding up, and the spring plowing has already been planted. Li Xie works with everyone. In mid-September, he will not be out for a short time. If he does not go back, Li Chongzhou may He couldn't resist Kangxi's questioning.Like last year, he still took half of the people back to Daqing, but he swapped this year's people with last year's people.

Whether it is Xiazhou, Daqing or the sea, the weather is relatively calm this time, and the speed of the ship is faster than before, and it will return to Daqing in less than a month.

It was only after Lixie returned to Macau that Li Chongzhou said that there were Japanese pirates appearing in Fujian. Because the navy in Fujian was rectified by Lixie, they met the enemy in time, but they still failed to save the lives and property of the people. It was caught off guard, and the casualties were relatively large.

Li Xie's face turned black immediately, and he immediately took the Wolf Warriors and Lihuo teams to Fujian. He always wanted to implement it. If it was really a Japanese pirate, then this time he would not tolerate it and uproot the Japanese country.

Only after Kangxi knew that he was back, less than two days after the letter was sent out, and knew that his fourth son, who was busy at that moment, had come to Fujian again, he suddenly remembered the incident of the Japanese pirates a month ago, and those Japanese pirates were still in the East China Sea It's haunting.

After Lixie arrived at the Fujian Navy, he caught five ships at sea that night. There were more than 20 people in them, all of whom were dressed as Han Chinese. But unfortunately, here at Lixie, there is no chance to fool around.Prying open their mouths, I know that they are samurai from the Yamada family of the Japanese country. Because of the power struggle between the emperor and the nobles, the emperor can't control these nobles for the time being, not to mention that the emperor probably didn't take it seriously, so they hit the guns successfully up.

According to the blueprints of guns and cannons provided by Yunyao, Dai Zi has upgraded all the current firearms of the Qing Dynasty, so Li Xie will simply use them all for the naval forces, and he doesn't want to keep the Wa Guocheng Aftermath, this time it will be solved once.

However, he didn't report to Kangxi in advance, lest the officials in the court would gossip again. Anyway, he has done a lot of things that are done first and then played, and there is no shortage of this one.

The weather is too cold in winter, which is not conducive to fighting at sea, and the newly recruited soldiers have yet to be trained, so the time to attack the Wa country is set in February of the next year.

It happened to give the Wa Kingdom to Kangxi as a gift for the Longevity Festival, so that he would not have to worry about preparing the gift.

In fact, after knowing the news of Li Xie's return, the Japanese side was indeed taking precautions, but there was no movement from Daqing for three months in a row, and they thought Daqing was afraid.

One day in mid-February, the daytime weather was fine, the sun was shining, and it was warm on people.At night, the starry sky is full of stars and the breeze is smooth.

Li Xie's big ships were all docked five miles away from the wharf, and he led his elite soldiers to sneak into the shore of the Japanese country first. This seaside town only had warriors from the Japanese country, and they all slept soundly.

The terrain of this town was very clear on the Qing side, so more than 100 people from Lixie quietly entered the town, and began to bring down the Japanese warriors along the way, reaping lives.

Of course, not all Japanese warriors were so incompetent. After about half an hour, they were finally discovered to be abnormal.

At this time, all the soldiers of the Qingshui Division went ashore, and the whole town was surrounded by flames and screams. Li Xie caught the warrior leader who was about to flee inland, and the other warriors were either killed or captured.

After dawn, the whole town was shrouded in a strong smell of blood. Lu Fei, You Hua and others led the soldiers to search the whole town. Except for those who ran away when they saw the opportunity, all the chefs and servants of the Japanese were locked in the prison. Together.

Next, the Qing side continued to send more soldiers. After Lixie and the others rested, they continued to advance to the capital of the Wa Kingdom.

After Kangxi knew about it, he was not too surprised on the face, but said in his heart, as expected, he said how could the fourth child change to a vegetarian diet?

Soon, the court found out that King Zhijun almost immediately asked for an order, and he also wanted to lead troops for reinforcements, so that Huang Ama promised him to fight side by side with his fourth brother.

Yinhu and the others all agreed, that is to say, the prince did not agree. Even if the prince's main opponent is now Yinhu, as a former opponent, how could the prince's staff make Zhijun Wang his wish?What's more, it's still leading troops to fight, that's someone who has military merits, and when Zhijun Wang comes back, won't the emperor want to make him a prince?

Zhijun Wang's face was ashen, listening to Suo'etu and Nalan Mingzhu's quarreling words, he felt unhappy and a little bit disappointed.If he could do the same as the fourth child, he would not be in the embarrassing situation he is in now.The most important thing is that if Huang Ama disagrees, he doesn't seem to have the courage.

The two factions of the imperial court quarreled for about three days, and Kangxi also considered it for three days, and then he agreed to let Yinbi take the army to reinforce, which made Yinbi overjoyed.

Yinxuan led the army and hurried on, feeling that Fujian was already half a month away, and the soldiers were mostly tired from the journey, so they had to rest for two days. At this time, Lixie led an army of 10,000+ and had already captured the Second Kingdom of Wa. One-third of the land is still moving forward.

The Emperor of Japan and the nobles will let go of their prejudices and unanimously speak to the outside world, but in fact the Emperor is sending people to negotiate peace, and even wants to cooperate with Lixie. As long as he gets rid of the Yamada family and other nobles of the Wa Kingdom, he will definitely be there every year in the future. Make offerings to the Qing Dynasty.

Li Xie sneered, I will get rid of you all, Wa Island belongs to the Qing Dynasty, and everything on this island belongs to the Qing Dynasty, so is it still necessary to make offerings?

Yinyi led the army and accelerated the collapse of the Japanese emperor and nobles. Almost in mid-March, a few days before Kangxi's birthday, Lixie and Yinyi's armies entered the capital of the Japanese country from both sides.

The emperor was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he didn't commit suicide, but at the moment when the capital was broken, the patriarch took the lead in killing his wife and children, and then committed seppuku.

When the news reached the capital, Kangxi laughed heartily, saying that this was the best gift for his birthday.

Li Xie is not interested in governing Wa Island, but Yin Yin is. He doesn't want to go back to the capital, and everything he does is under the noses of others, and he can't do anything well.

However, Li Xie is not very relieved that Yinyi is governing Wa Island, because he is an ancient aborigine, and he does not have a humanistic thinking in his mind that would benefit ordinary people, especially the people of Wa Island who were still defeated.

Therefore, when Li Xie discussed the political affairs of Wa Island with Yinyi, he repeatedly told him that since Wa Island had already belonged to the Qing Dynasty, from this moment on, the people on this island were the people of the Qing Dynasty, and they should be treated like The people of the Qing Dynasty treated them like that, otherwise he might have left. Yin Yu and his soldiers were too cruel and the people of Wa Island resisted and killed them angrily.

In mid-April, the civil servants sent by the imperial court in charge of government affairs led a group of people to Wa Island. They came to assist Zhijun King in governing Wa Island.He also brought Kangxi's imperial decree. On the day of Longevity Day, Kangxi promoted all his sons. The king of Zhijun was the prince, Sanbeile was the king of Chengjun, Lixie was the prince of Yong, five beiles and seven beiles were constant. The king of the county and the king of Chunjun, the eighth beile is the prince of treasure, and the ninth elder brother is the beile.

So Lixie took the Wolf Warriors and Lihuo teams back to the Qing Dynasty, stayed in Fujian for two days, and then returned to Hong Kong and Macau.

As for the emperor and his family members, they were all taken back to the capital. From now on, the emperor will no longer be the supreme emperor of Japan, but a prisoner of the Qing Dynasty. He will spend his whole life under the supervision of the Qing Dynasty. Perhaps three or four generations later, he descendants will be free.

After returning to Macau, Li Xie trained more troops in the South China Sea, and Li Chongzhou recruited a lot more manpower. It is only April, and Li Xie asked You Hua and Lu Fei to lead the team to Xiazhou first, and then he went down in the South China Sea. The Hou Li Dynasty and other places recruited some manpower, but they always recruited manpower in the Qing Dynasty. The population loss was too serious, which was not good for the Qing Dynasty.

The people recruited in the Houli Dynasty were ordinary people who could not live in their own country. The common people in this country can't go on for a few days, and they fled their hometown just to gain a way to survive.

At the end of June, Lixie had recruited enough people, and You Hua and Lu Fei had already returned, so he personally led the team to Xiazhou this time.

At this time, in Xiazhou and Yanhuang Port, different languages ​​are mixed together, and there is often a situation where chickens and ducks speak together. However, the common language here is Chinese, so after a period of time, foreigners from places like the Houli Dynasty will be able to After communicating with other people, even the natives can already speak Chinese.

There are now nearly 2 people in Yanhuang Port, and there are nearly 500 children. So at the beginning of this year, Yunyao opened a school and forced all children between the ages of five and 15 to go to school. Scholars who have been admitted to the scholar or Juren, as for why they are willing to leave their hometown, they all have their own sad stories.

At this moment, Yunyao and Li Xie stood outside the school hand in hand, listening to the sound of reading in the classroom, male and female voices continued, the two looked at each other and smiled, very satisfied with the situation.

The boundaries between men and women in the Qing and Hou Li dynasties were very strict, but not here in Xiazhou. The person in charge here is a woman, and there is a serious shortage of manpower, so let’s put aside the difference between men and women for the time being. Exquisite, but at that time, it may be too late, the social atmosphere has already been established, how can women's thoughts be imprisoned again?

Of course, the same big problem as the difference between men and women is the problem of slaves. There are no slaves in Xiazhou, only contract servants. All the servants in the village were also liberated according to Xia Zhou's system. You have to order servants to serve and sign contracts, and the servants are also good citizens. No one can innocently deprive others of their lives.

At the same time, there is also the marriage system. Monogamy is strictly stipulated here. When you come to Xiazhou, you must abide by Xiazhou's system. Of course, the system is a system.Some people are greedy for money, but others yearn for freedom. Some concubines of wealthy businessmen can muster up the courage to leave the wealthy businessman. With the help of the Jimin Office, they found a job and soon married other people.

Opportunities are everywhere in Xiazhou, it depends on whether you can seize them.

In September, Li Xie returned to the Qing Dynasty again. In fact, the sea area on the Qing side was cleared by him. He still prefers to expand the territory in Xiazhou, but he still has a layer of identity. shackles.

He was thinking about confessing to Kangxi, so that he would not have to be occupied by the affairs of the Qing Dynasty, so that he could devote himself to developing Xiazhou.

Hehe, digging Kangxi's corner, Lixie should not feel too good about the dark feeling in his heart.It's just that before he confessed to Kangxi, Li Chongzhou routinely reported various affairs to him, which naturally involved matters in the capital, and a major event happened in the capital!
