In the 56th year of Kangxi, Yangchun March.

On a sunny day, the Forbidden City bathed in bright sunlight is so bright and clear that even the usual red walls and yellow tiles have a special meaning.

Strolling on the top of the majestic city, I saw the old Emperor Kangxi standing still with his hands behind his back. After a while, he sighed softly: "Wei Zhu, do you think my two unfilial sons can come back?"

Wei Zhu nodded quickly, "Ninth elder brother and tenth elder brother are blessed in the sky and have the emperor's blessing. They will turn bad luck into good fortune and good fortune in death!"

He held his hands and said auspicious words, but he carefully replied: "The slave once sent someone to inquire with foreign businessmen in Fujian. It will take a year to go to the sea even if the wind is smooth. My brothers will be greedy again. Play more, I'm afraid the days will be longer..."

"Playing..."

Emperor Kangxi smiled wryly and shook his head, "Now that things have come to an end, I wish they would dazzle the outside world."

Wei Zhu also complained, "My parents are here, so I don't want to travel far! Brothers are too confused, so when they come back tomorrow, the slaves will have to rely on their elders to say some disgusting words!"

"According to your opinion, the two of them took such a big idea behind my back and just teach them a lesson?"

Emperor Kangxi snorted coldly when he heard the words: "If I want to beat them with my own hands, I have to beat them hard! It's best to beat them until they can't move for half a year before they can be called An Sheng, so that others can learn from them!"

"Yes, Long Live Lord is still thoughtful!"

Wei Zhu laughed along, and followed the master down the gate tower and walked back.

Passing through the Shang Study Room, Emperor Kangxi recruited the tutors to ask about the progress of the younger elder brothers and the emperor's grandsons, and returned to the Qianqing Palace to discuss politics after spot checks and examinations.

That night, the soldiers guarding the fort at Dagukou suddenly noticed a few flickering bright lights on the misty sea in the distance, vaguely outlining huge blurred shadows.

The soldiers were shocked and immediately reported to the meeting hall, and the deputy general rushed to report all the way to the general of Tianjin Town.

Mr. Zongbing, who was still sleeping soundly with his concubine in his boudoir, heard that it was okay, he didn't care about wearing shoes and socks, and hurriedly put on his official uniform and rushed to Dagukou to patrol the line.

After galloping all the way, the commander-in-chief saw a small sampan parked on the mud flat on the shore, and the lieutenant who was on duty at the fort was nodding and bowing to a boy who was pitch-black and couldn't see his face clearly. talking about something.

The commander-in-chief, who disturbed people's dreams, suddenly became angry and reprimanded loudly: "An important coastal defense area, who dares to make noise here!"

"Hey, isn't this Sacha Guoyong?"

Yin'e shook off her braids and sneered: "Why, you don't recognize me after a few years? I forgot how you pretended to be a grandson in front of my starling when you entered the palace for a banquet?"

The commander-in-chief, who suddenly asked people to point out the old things, blushed, and then he saw the appearance of the visitor through the lanterns carried by the soldiers, and exclaimed: "You, you are the tenth elder brother Yiner?!"

"It's me!"

Yin'e raised his chin, and said with a voice at the end: "Master Shi, I think Huang Ama has a bad idea, so she deliberately took a shortcut to return to Beijing from Tianjin. It's just such a small matter, it shouldn't cause trouble for Mr. Sacha, right?" ?”

"No trouble, no trouble!"

Sacha Guoyong hastily bowed and said, "Your servant will ask someone to lead the way for Master Shi's cargo ship."

"Don't rush away yet."

Yin'e nodded with her thumb again, "My ninth brother is still on the boat, you go and arrange some mules and horses to come over first, our two brothers brought a lot of gifts to Huang Ama, there are not enough vehicles to carry of."

"Hey, the servant will definitely not miss the important matter of the two elder brothers!"

Sacha Guoyong handed over the errands to the deputy general, and smiled in front of him: "It's more serious, and I would like to ask the ninth master and the tenth master to rest in the conference hall for a while, and wait for the slaves to prepare the luggage team, and then please check it yourself .”

"no need."

Yin'e turned around and jumped onto the sampan again, "My lord still has unpacked luggage, just give us a sign when the convoy arrives later."

After he finished speaking, he ordered the sailors to support the sampan and go back to the fleet parked on the Dagu sea, and climbed up the hanging ladder that Yu Qing put down.

"Ninth Brother, why am I so uncomfortable when I come back so suddenly?"

After entering the cabin, Yin'e touched his shaved forehead, "Especially when I heard Guo Yong's servant talking just now, I really want to give him a kick so that he can finish his work quickly!"

Yinzhen, with a towel hanging on his shoulder, was standing by the basin to wash his face, "I have lived overseas for more than a year, so I will be affected to some extent. Foreigners behave like that, and they don't even have a penny in business." I’ve calculated it clearly for you, and I’m used to speaking straightforwardly. Back in the Qing Dynasty, it’s another set of rules. People in our country pay attention to subtlety. Can he not waste time on this subtlety!”

After shaving off the unsightly green stubble, Yinzhen said again: "However, whether you are used to it or not, you can't show it in front of Huang Ama. Otherwise, be careful that the old man will beat you!"

"Ninth brother, hearing what you said, I really feel a little uneasy."

Yin'e scratched his face, and said uncertainly: "Let's leave the book and run away, and we kidnapped Bai Fei and ran away. Huang Ama won't be holding her fire and waiting to teach others?"

"You are as free as you are when you are the emperor Ama? Let's settle the score after autumn!"

Yinzhen put on a fur waistcoat and walked out, "It's not bad if you can find time to think about us twice!"

There was the name of presenting gifts to the emperor in the front, and within half an hour Sacha Guoyong urgently dispatched a group of mule and horse carriages specially for transporting supplies, and dispatched two hundred soldiers bravely to board the ship to unload the goods.

They were busy on and off the ship until dawn, and finally sent the goods of the five ships and the foreign scholars hired back with a lot of money to the carriage.

This huge convoy stretching for more than ten miles shocked the people who got up early and had tea as soon as it appeared on the streets of Tianjin. When the leading team slowly walked to the outskirts of Beijing, it even alarmed the yamen, the commander of the infantry guarding the capital. .

In the arrow pavilion, Emperor Kangxi, who was teaching Yinyi his riding and archery skills, was startled when he heard this, "What did you say, Lao Jiu and Lao Shi are back?!"

"Slaves dare not lie to the emperor!"

Wiping away tears, Wei Zhu choked with sobs and said, "Now the two young masters have entered the city gate, and I heard that they have brought hundreds of cars of luggage with them!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

Emperor Kangxi praised him three times before he took his youngest son's hand and said with a smile: "I won't practice today! Let's go, Huang Ama will take you to watch the fun!"

Yinyi tilted his head and looked at Eunuch Wei who got up and followed behind, "Huang Ama, Brother Ninth and Brother Ten are really amazing Batulu, when I grow up, I will go to explore the foreign places like them !"

"When you grow up?"

Emperor Kangxi looked up to the sky and said with a long smile: "Yinyi, you can't be like those two daring bastards who don't have a king in their eyes! Besides, in my opinion, it's nothing if you have the courage to go out. If you can govern the country Just like the prosperous Tang Dynasty, benevolently governing the world and coming to court from all directions is truly remarkable!"

The two masters and one servant walked down the stone steps quickly, and the imperial chariot prepared in advance was waiting in front of the hall. Emperor Kangxi raised the little elder brother and urged him to clear the way. Wei Zhu was shocked and did not dare to speak. , hurriedly trotted and followed to the side of the Meridian Gate.

Yin'e, who was sitting on the shaft of the chariot waiting for the guards to check the box, saw the bright yellow imperial chariot, crying and rushed over, "Huang Ama! Huang Ama! My unfilial son Yin'e greets you! My son is outside In the past two years, I have been thinking about Huang Ama all the time! My son not only prayed to the gods and Buddhas in the sky, but also prayed to the God of the foreign hair, and I look forward to coming back to serve you soon!"

"Okay, get up quickly!"

Emperor Kangxi personally helped up his son who had changed a lot but was still so unsteady, and said sadly: "Thanks to the blessing of the ancestors, fortunately the tired bird returned to its nest. In the future, we can no longer act so lightly and arbitrarily."

Yin'e nodded after listening, "Yes, my son will never leave Huang Ama again."

Emperor Kangxi sized up Lao Jiu who was about to bring his foreign master to pay his respects for a while, and then looked around, "Where's Bai Fei, didn't he come back with you?"

"Without Bai Fei, Brother Jiu and I would not dare to meet Huang Ama!"

Yin'ehan smiled and said: "It dislikes taking the car too slowly and flies away by itself, maybe it can come back at night."

Emperor Kangxi let go of the last thought when he heard it, and accepted the gift from Brother Jiu and the foreign master with a smile on his face, and rewarded the new foreigners with a house like he did to the court painter Lang Shining, and then turned around. Surrounded by them, they returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

After explaining all the big and small things he had experienced in overseas countries in detail, Yin'e, who was thirsty, took a sip of tea and said, "Huang Ama, my son has found a good deal without money this time! Son! I plan to set up a... Heck, my son plans to set up a chamber of commerce specializing in overseas trade. We will provide ships, ammunition, and nautical charts to those idle Eight Banners. It can not only fill the national treasury, but also prevent those people from recruiting cats and dogs all day long to not do their business, and then raising good men to waste!"

Emperor Kangxi didn't say no, "You have a good idea, but those people are used to being served, so I'm afraid I won't be able to bear this pain heartily."

Yinzhen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Huang Ama. It took two years for my tenth brother and I to return to our homeland, so we have to hold a banquet in the mansion to celebrate and find some familiar old friends to catch up on the old days."

At that time, as long as he brags about the new land full of golden mountains, and then sends a picture album with pictures of foreign-haired women, he doesn't believe that he won't be able to impress those people.

After signing the agreement and sailing into the sea, it will be too late for someone to regret it, unless he is willing to put Baoshan aside and not go bankrupt and compensate the royal family for the loss.

The father and son told some anecdotes about overseas, and the elder brother who was urgently recruited rushed over one after another, and described the parting feelings with the two brothers who hardly dared to recognize each other.

Needless to say, the importance of this overseas trip to the Qing Dynasty is needless to say. After Emperor Kangxi saw the power of Western-style guns and shells in the firearms camp, and felt the power and speed in an assembled steam engine car, As soon as I thought of the consequences of combining steam engines with transoceanic warships, the sense of urgency in my heart became even stronger.

At this moment, Emperor Kangxi couldn't help but be extremely thankful. If it weren't for the pair of Haidongqing that the old eighth offered, the old and decaying land ruled by the Aixinjueluo family would have suffered the most from the sky beyond the sky. attack and destruction.

Emperor Kangxi, who was familiar with history books since he was a child, naturally knew that there is no immortal dynasty in the world. Even Li Tang, who was named the king of heaven by all countries, was also annihilated in the torrent of history, and there are countless others. .

"Wei Guan Zhong, I have been sent to the left."

Thinking of the ancient saying of Confucius, Emperor Kangxi couldn't help but shuddered, "The world is the master, and the world is forsaken; the difference between one word is a thousand miles away!"

With an extremely heavy heart, Emperor Kangxi returned to Qianqing Palace to sit quietly for one night, and then ordered to open a Quartet Chamber of Commerce under the name of the Ministry of Households, which was jointly supervised by Lao Jiu and Lao Shi, and was solely responsible for overseas business affairs.

Even Yinzhen and Yin'e, who have always been unserious, got errands, and the rest of the elder brothers can still stay and receive their salary?

Except for the fourth elder brother who sits in the official department, the third, fifth, seventh, eighth and even the thirteenth elder brother who is not very agile have to run back and forth in important places in the capital according to Emperor Kangxi's dispatch.

It would be even more difficult if he was involved in promoting western learning and supervising the manufacture of new equipment. Although the emperor is not used to cars, a series of follow-up problems brought about by the advent of the steam engine cannot be ignored. How to make perfect use of it to enhance the Clearing up national power and changing the status quo of the backward handicraft industry all need to grope forward step by step.

Comparing the two, the Sifang Chamber of Commerce, which has been established for less than a month, came out on top, and soon assembled the first Eight Banners team that voluntarily went to sea.

If you feel that you have a good relationship with Yin'er, you will discuss in private, whether you can borrow the condor that helped guide the way earlier, so that these children who have just left home have a little bit of peace of mind, even if they make more friends. Rental fees are also willing.

Yin'e could only shake her head when she heard this, "It's not that I don't care about affection, I haven't seen Bai Fei's face since I returned from the blessing boat, and Huang Ama is still chasing me to ask, don't let him hear the old man Come on and scold me again!"

The Eight Banners who can't ask for the eagle can only accept their fate, and some of them are still thinking secretly, since you, an elder brother, dare to go to sea to search for treasure, what are we afraid of?

Ever since, this group of expedition team composed of hundreds of relatives has followed the footsteps of their ancestors and embarked on the old road of being called "every day should not work" and "the land is not working".

As soon as the Sifang Chamber of Commerce's fleet went to sea, Song Ci, who had lived in Taiwan for a long time, was about to return home.

Although she had already agreed with Hei Yu that she would come to see it on a monthly basis, but in order to protect the two bold elder brothers, she had no choice but to be a dishonest Hai Dongqing.

After two years of delay, it was so easy to wait until Song Ci, who had nothing to do, turned around and fulfilled his promise. The disadvantage of not being honest also followed.

Originally, she had thought that it was impossible for her to be the Condor for the rest of her life in order to protect the Qing Dynasty, so it was extremely important to find a successor in advance.

And after Hei Yu and Hua Yu got married, Song Ci put his hope on their children, hoping to teach a divine eagle who can understand human language and distinguish land and sea.

Who would have thought that when she went to visit the Heiyu couple in Taiwan with souvenirs from foreigners, she found that she came back too late. Heiyu had become a father as early as a year ago, and even brought her son as a father. A lazy bird with similar habits.

Staring at the Heiyu father and son who were almost carved out of the same mold, she really wanted to stuff Xiaoyu into an eagle egg to remake.Fortunately, Hua Yu broke the good news again at this time, which made the disappointed Song Ci feel better.

The previous lessons were already severe enough, Song Ci didn't dare to hand over the children to these unreliable parents, so he could only make do by setting up a nest near Hei Yu's house to watch them.

A rare visitor suddenly came to the mansion. At first, King Jin thought it was Huang Ama who asked Bai Fei to come over to watch because he was afraid that his father and son would support themselves. It's not that the pace of building the harbor should be slowed down, so as not to create rifts with the rear of the capital.

Unexpectedly, day after day, instead of seeing Bai Fei spying on confidential content such as military deployment, he was staring at Haidongqing laying down in the nest and hatching eggs wholeheartedly. This made King Jin a little confused.

On a certain day later, everyone suddenly saw the eagle flying away with a small bamboo basket in its mouth, and it was never seen again. Only then did they finally realize that all the emotional planning was purely winking for the blind.

Huayu's litter hatched three cubs, and Song Ci waited until the cub was full moon before discussing with Hei Yu, and only took away the female eagle with the weakest physique.

Fearing that the fledgling bird would not be able to withstand the cold wind, she specially used mink fur to spread a warm quilt on the young bird, and flew back to Beijing when the sun was at its fullest.

The little eunuch standing guard in the imperial garden screamed with joy when he saw the condor landing on Lian Libo. When he ran all the way and yelled, Emperor Kangxi and Wei Zhu followed soon after.

Before they could speak, the master and servant were taken aback by the immature chirping from the bird's nest, and when they saw the black head protruding from the belly of Bai Fei with some lace, they immediately said in unison: "Shouldn't this Could it be Kuroba's child?"

Song Ci nodded, thinking: "This is not only Heiyu's child, but also the next Condor of the Qing Dynasty!"

It will replace Bai Fei and continue to guard this beautiful new world that is about to usher in earth-shattering and unprecedented changes.

The author has something to say:
