After I was reborn, I became a plug-in for the country

In April of the 28th year of Kangxi, when Dai Zi left to run a new steel factory in Henan, and the crown prince was busy seeing him off and giving him all the cannon blueprints he had drawn, Shi Lang once again sent someone to the capital.

The letter said that he had found a silver mine and was sending people to continue digging.In addition, he captured tens of thousands of Japanese slaves, who were temporarily left to work in the silver mines.

Along with the letter, there are several large boxes of large pure silver ingots that have been mined and smelted.

After Kangxi read the letters and had a rough look at the fineness of the silver, he was overjoyed. He even praised Shi Lang to the civil and military officials several times in the early court, and emphasized several times that he should praise him. How angry he was when he decided to take down Dongpu privately.

In addition to praising Shi Lang, he also immediately issued an order to promote Xu Zhengyuan from the general to the position of deputy governor of Fujian.

All civil and military officials were much calmer than his excitement.However, a few of them have already begun to think carefully about what they will do after the silver is transported back to the Qing Dynasty.The two chief and deputy ministers of the Ministry of Household Affairs sighed in their hearts almost at the same time, now there is no need to worry about Jin Fu reaching out to the court for money.

But now compared with silver, how to deal with the peace talks sent by Japan is much more important.

After Kangxi considered it again and again, he finally decided to send his elder brother Fuyuan General Fuquan to go to sea, bring back the more than 1 captives, and send them to Jin Fu to build a dam.

At the same time, Yinreng, as the only prince in the court who can speak Dongying language, attended the peace talks with Dongying on behalf of his Khan Ama.As for why Kangxi didn't wonder why his good son suddenly speaks Japanese?

That's all because, don't care

Because the envoys of the Japanese peace talks entered Beijing together, and there was an endless stream of silver in baskets.The six ministries of the imperial court are all busy with a boatload of money.The Ministry of Households is busy asking for grades, the Ministry of Punishment is busy interrogating people who want to rob silver, the Ministry of War is busy asking for money, and the Ministry of Rites is busy asking for money.As for the Ministry of Industry, they are busy making applications and asking for money.

Lord Shang Shu looked like beggars who hadn’t had enough to eat for many years, wishing to bring a bowl to Kangxi and say, Your Majesty, take a look at us, take pity on us, please give us some money.

In stark contrast to the six ministers, it was the Dongying envoy who watched the batch of silver being unloaded from the ship with his own eyes.His expression was so ferocious that he could hardly suppress it.

The peace talks were held in the Jingzhong Posthouse.As for why not in the palace?In Yinreng's words, he was afraid of dirtying the floor tiles of the Forbidden City.

The negotiation started very smoothly, because Yinfeng didn't intend to let the Japanese envoys talk about anything from the beginning to the end. He only said that the silver mines belong to the Qing Dynasty, and the labor force will not be returned. The Qing Dynasty will send troops to station in the silver mines later. Nearby, if he does not agree, his Khan Ama will order to continue the fight.

The envoy who came to the peace talks was so angry that he wanted to block the table. If no one stopped him, he would definitely step forward and pinch Yinfeng's neck to ask why.

But thinking of the emperor's explanation before leaving, he finally forced himself to suppress his anger.

Yinfeng had seen his anger early on, and deliberately added fuel to the fire: "Khan Ama is tolerant, if there are other conditions, you can just mention it." .

The envoy stared at him for a long time, and then said in the Japanese language: "His Majesty the Emperor has an account, and we agree to all the conditions. I just hope that your country will not continue to fight."

If the fight continues, His Majesty will not even be able to sleep soundly.

Yinfeng raised the corners of his lips and said with an evil smile, "It's easy to say, easy to say."

It's a pity that Khan Ama was concerned about his reputation and would not order Shi Lang to slaughter Dongying directly.

At the end of the peace talks, the envoy's bitter expression seemed to have just been taken out of the long-simmered Coptis chinensis soup.They didn't stay in the capital for a few days, they hurriedly signed the letter of credence and went back.

Before leaving, Yinreng specially asked for an order to send it off. When he arrived at the gate of the city, he held the messenger's hand and whispered to him: "Don't think about revenge, you will not be able to beat us in another 100 years."

The envoy looked at his gloomy eyes in surprise, and couldn't help shivering.

After watching the envoy leave the capital in a hurry, Yinfeng also thought in his heart, who should he suggest to guard Dongying?

At the same time as he thought of this question, there was also the old fox Mingzhu.But he didn't just think about it, he was still thinking about it, and at the same time, he found the elder brother and asked him if he had any idea of ​​going to Japan.

"How did you think of letting me go?" Big Brother was quite surprised by this.

As a prince, even though he knew that he was not competitive enough, it was impossible for him to have no idea about the position.As his master, Mingzhu has been planning for him for so many years, how could she think of sending him to Beijing at this time.

Absurd, so absurd!

This is far away from Beijing, and that seat is too far away.

Mingzhu knew that he was unwilling, so she was not in a hurry to persuade him, but said earnestly: "Brother, you don't have to be like this. I have been by your side for so many years, and there are times when I don't think about you. My good brother, listen to the slave's advice. , although Dongying is barren, but the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, you must be much more comfortable there than in the capital."

Yinfei's words are quite disdainful, if it's just for freedom, as long as he doesn't want to be as comfortable as the big one, why go far to the land of Japan.At the beginning, Jingqi returned to the Tun so much credit, he did not take it in order to be able to be filial to Khan Ama in the capital, so as not to make the relationship between father and son weak. .

Even though she already knew that she would not be easily persuaded according to Big Brother's advice, Mingzhu couldn't help but sigh.Asking a powerful prince to give up striving for the top is no less than taking food from the mouth of a hungry tiger.

But for Nalan and his group's future stable life, he had to fight for it.He breathed again, and said with sadness in his eyes: "Brother, this slave has watched you grow up since childhood. To put it bluntly, in this slave's heart, you are no different from his own son. The slave is loyal to you. , and also have the same admiration for one's own nephew."

This sentence made Yinfei a little touched, he lowered his head that was originally high, and couldn't help but glance at Mingzhu.

Seeing that he was not as hard-hearted as iron, Mingzhu also knew that this trick was feasible, so she continued: "My servant said something rebellious. Although the emperor regards you and the prince equally in his heart, but whoever will pass on the big position is the emperor's heart." I have made up my mind a long time ago." To show respect, he bowed his hands towards the east, "The emperor loves the world, but based on what you know about him, you think he can easily change his mind for someone."

Yinbi's eyeballs followed the direction of his salute, and he chewed these few words in his heart several times, and then said with a firm temper: "Khan Ama is worth a thousand dollars, but it depends on human effort. If you haven't tried it, you will ask me Giving up is ridiculous!"

"Yes, I know that Elder Brother is not convinced." Mingzhu put herself in his place, and said earnestly: "But you and His Royal Highness are biological brothers after all, and Elder Brother thinks about it carefully. Now, when it comes to the merits of the court, besides you Who can compete with the prince?"

It's okay not to mention Yinbi, but when he was mentioned, Yinbi became angry, "That's Khan Ama's partiality, if he didn't focus on the second child, with his status in the army, he would never be inferior to him. "

In the past, he strongly recommended Dai Zi, then confronted Lao Maozi, and now directly represented Khan Ama in peace talks with Dongying.In several major events in the court, the second child took the lead in everything.He was already magnificent, and now there is no one to rival him.Even though the relationship between the two brothers is still relatively harmonious, Yinyi still couldn't help grinding his teeth.

The second child is really annoying.

Seeing that he was not enlightened, Mingzhu had no choice but to restrain her distressed look, and said seriously: "Brother, be careful."

"Humph!" Yinfei was still unconvinced.

Mingzhu cleared her expression, and said tactfully: "If Suo'etu is still arrogant and domineering by relying on the power of the prince, how can the slave find a way to blame him for his mistakes. If His Highness the prince is still as defiant as he is sometimes, the slave will also I can think of recruiting him to lose his reputation. But now he is far away from Suo'etu, and he cherishes his feathers very much. He finds a little fault in both the top and the bottom. The slave told you with all sincerity that he would drag such a prince from that seat Come down, it's hard!"

Yinyin didn't speak.Because he knew very well in his heart that what Mingzhu said was the truth.Now the courtiers are full of praise for the prince, and all the brothers Khan Ama cultivated the most carefully, and the prince is also the prince.There are tens of thousands of people who are satisfied with Khan Ama, and there is no second one except the prince.

"We have created a big enemy for ourselves!" Mingzhu said more and more embarrassingly.Now apart from sighing, he is also somewhat grateful.Fortunately, I was pulled into the boat of the prince early.

But the more important thing right now is to persuade the elder brother to go to Japan voluntarily.

His thoughts are very straightforward, since he has chosen the prince's ship, he must do his best to protect the prince.How to protect the crown prince without abandoning the elder brother?Persuading Big Brother to give up voluntarily was the best way he could think of.

After all, he was also the child who grew up with his own eyes.

Yin Yin pondered for a while, then gritted his teeth and said: "There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. Besides me, the others may not have the same idea. When the time comes, we brothers will join hands..."

"My good elder brother" Mingzhu said with a wry smile, "The third elder brother and the fourth elder brother have relied on the crown prince since they were young, and the fourth elder brother's current status was created by the prince alone. Except for the two of them, the other princes are still young , by the time they can make their own decisions and form an alliance with elder brother, the crown prince may have already inherited the great rule!"

"Shut up." Yinyin glared at him angrily and said sharply, "How dare you curse Khan Ama."

"The slave made a slip of the tongue." Mingzhu fell to her knees with a thump, "Please punish me, my lord."

Yinfei stood upright, looking down at his old body that was half prostrate on the ground, staring at his white-haired whip with complicated eyes for a while, and then said softly: "Get up, today's words, my master If you haven't heard it, you...don't say it again. "

Mingzhu took a deep breath, straightened her upper body for the last time, stared at Yinfei with vicissitudes of life, and said: "This slave is only thinking about elder brother, so even if I lose my head today, I have to say this last sentence. "

Yinyi didn't answer his words, so he raised his foot and wanted to go out.

Mingzhu finally struggled and said, "Brother, just listen to the slaves. The sky is high in Dongying and the emperor is far away, and there are countless silvers. The emperor will also send a green battalion to guard it. If brother is still interested in that seat, why not pretend to guard the silver for the emperor?" The name of the mine is far away, and it is possible to fight against the prince after it becomes popular."

What he said seemed to be telling Yinfei clearly, if you want soldiers and silver, even if you can't bring down the prince in the capital, you will be able to raise troops to rebel against him in the future.

Yinbi paused when he walked out, and when he turned around and looked at Mingzhu again, his eyes were full of disbelief, "What did you say?"

"Brother, think twice!" Mingzhu told him without any fear, staring at him closely.
