Clearance: Reset History

Kangxi stayed in Jiangsu for a long time. In addition to the fixed itinerary of exploring the people's sentiments and consulting government files, he also paid homage to Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum to appease the Han people. Cao Xi finally visited the Shanghai Shipyard, which was built by Yinfeng.This trip is naturally accompanied by the princes.

Visiting the Xiaoling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty was just a formality, but visiting the Shanghai Shipyard was what Kangxi was really interested in.

The scale of the shipyard is very large, covering almost an entire county in Shanghai, and there is also a design institute dedicated to researching ship design.

Looking at the bustling work scene in the factory, stroking the finished and semi-finished products standing in the factory, and listening to Yinreng's explanation in his ear, Kangxi was quite touched - the prince was asked to manage the ocean trade affairs at the beginning, but it was just for the prince to try. Try it out, sharpen it a little, I didn't expect him to be able to do this.In this way, when the north is pacified... Forget it, it may take several years for the north to be pacified, and the south should be handed over to the prince later?However, there are some things that need to be prepared in advance.

Kangxi sighed here, Yinfeng was with him here, and the elder brother who had not returned to the palace for a long time was entangled by the two younger ones.

The third child and the fourth child talk a lot. The third child reads a lot of books. To put it bluntly, he likes to show off. As soon as the guy entered the factory, he was so excited, his eyes were shining brightly, he looked around, and he took Yin Yin's hand to let the other party explain himself.

Yinfeng ran around with the two little guys, but when he stopped, he would turn his head to look at Yinfeng, so he often met Yinfeng's eyes looking at him and smiled knowingly.

——The kind of unnoticed little tacit understanding, although neither of them understood what was going on, they clearly felt the instant warmth, sweetness and joy from their hearts.

Soon, Kangxi planned to return to Luan here. Before leaving, the anxious Yinyi finally received Kangxi's order to build the Guangdong Navy, and ordered Prince Kang Jieshu to be the admiral of the Guangdong Navy and preside over the preparation of the Guangdong Navy.

When Kangxi returned to Luan, Yinyi bid farewell to Erniang Ama's younger brothers and then went to Guangdong. While waiting for Prince Kang to take office, he made some preparations.

In fact, the Portuguese are not difficult to deal with. The impression of the ancient oriental country is too deep, so that they don't dare to be too arrogant except to test China's bottom line like a fool. What's more, it is in the east after all, and the Portuguese's force is limited. , There is no need to make such a big effort to build a navy or something.

But Yinyi has his own considerations.

Guangdong is one of the important gateways for communication between the Qing Dynasty and the West. Now that the sea ban has been lifted, without a strong armed force, it will be difficult to solve troubles when the time comes.He originally wanted to change the equipment of the Fujian navy, but Shi Lang would definitely be dissatisfied if he did so. Even if Shi Lang agreed, it was his navy after all. Create a navy that he is satisfied with.

When Kangxi returned to Luan and passed through Qufu, he ordered a large team to stay temporarily.

Visited the Temple of Confucius, gazed at the sacred elephant, lectured on the "Nijing", served wine at the Confucius Temple, wrote "The Master of All Ages", and left the yellow cover of the crank.

Seeing the "Teacher of All Ages" written by Kangxi, Yinreng suddenly thought of an idea, turned his eyes, and glanced at the young man of his own age who was accompanying Yan Shenggong Kong Yuqi - that was the eldest son of the Kong family. The unexpected next Yan Shenggong, Kong Chuanduo.

During the break before dinner, Yinfeng sent someone to call Kong Chuanduo over.

Kong Chuanduo was wearing the most common white Hanfu of the Confucian family, full of bookish atmosphere, and he kowtowed as soon as he entered the room.

Yinfeng yelled lightly, and only after the other party raised his head did he look at the other party carefully.

Kong Chuanduo was one year older than Yinreng, and he was the best boy in his youth. His appearance was very delicate and elegant, just like a tender little green bamboo. Yinreng immediately laughed—well, seeing that he looks good The boy was in a very happy mood - he pointed to the opposite chair and told him to sit down.

Although Kong Chuanduo was very calm, he was still a little nervous. He didn't know why the crown prince, who was less than one person and more than ten thousand people, asked him to come here, not to mention that he seemed to have a bad temper?

Yinfeng didn't care what the other party was thinking, picked up the gaiwan on the table, lifted the lid to sniff, and took a sip. The tea was the common Huai Lei tea in Qufu. Cai said: "Tell me about the Wei Linggong chapter of "The Analects of Confucius"?"

Kong Chuanduo was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said slowly: "'Wei Linggong asked Confucius...'"

After all, he is a direct descendant of the Confucian family, and he is at his fingertips with teaching books, especially the most basic things such as the Four Books and Five Classics, except that he was a little out of order due to nervousness at the beginning. When I started to enter the state, the voice was clear, the speech speed was moderate, and the words were pronounced clearly, as smooth as a running stream.

Yinfeng showed a satisfied expression, squinting his eyes and immersed himself in the young man's crisp voice like jade hitting each other.

After speaking for less than half an hour, Kong Chuanduo finally finished the whole Wei Linggong chapter, stopped talking, and then looked at Yinfeng a little shyly.

"You speak very well." Yinfeng praised without hesitation, "However, as the next patriarch of the Kong family, have you thought about doing something?"

Kong Chuanduo widened his eyes in doubt.

"For example, what you just said about 'teaching without discrimination', do you intend to expand it a bit?"

"What does the prince mean?"

"You go back first, and wait for the news from the master. The teachings of the sage Confucius should not just stay here."

Kong Chuanduo vaguely understood, but he didn't quite understand.However, the crown prince's words had reached this point, so he could only kowtow and leave, waiting for the crown prince's so-called news.

Not long after Kangxi returned to the palace, Prince Kang Jieshu also brought people to Guangdong.Jie Shu has also been on the battlefield, he has really killed people and seen blood, he has a straightforward temper, and he does things in a hurry. After meeting Yin Yu, he called relevant personnel to discuss the rebuilding of the Guangzhou Navy.

It's not for fun that Yinbi was away for four years, especially in the Fujian Navy every day, he learned a lot of relevant things, and made a lot of useful preparations while waiting for Jie Shu to come, which Jie Shu admired very much. In the booklet returned to Kangxi, he also praised the eldest brother-in a way, this is also a kind of flattery.As for Yinyin's original purpose, to expel the Portuguese, he also used Yinyin's idea: "Aren't the Portuguese just building a port? Let them build it first, and then go back when it's almost built. It's for nothing How good it is ready-made, just take advantage of this time to form the navy."

In the 25th year of Kangxi, just after the first lunar month, when the entire Qing Dynasty was still jubilant, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi officially launched an attack on the Portuguese who leased Macau. Strongly urge the Portuguese side to give an explanation.

Faced with the words and expressions of the members of the Loyalty Council, Wen Lishi almost cried without tears—when you first proposed the proposal to build a Hong Kong, you heard that it was profitable, and you passed it unanimously one by one, but now there is a problem and you have to ask me to Let's deal with it, do you dare to be more shameless?

One of the congressmen said in a difficult way, "Your Excellency, we have already reminded you not to anger this ancient country. We know that you are a soldier with tough methods, but we are only businessmen and only value interests. If this You have no way to properly handle this matter, I think we have the right to ask His Majesty the King to change the governor of Australia."

Other MPs echoed, "Major, please ensure that our interests will not be harmed."

Wen Li was so angry that his face was livid, but he also knew that if they really told His Majesty, all his plans would be ruined, so he could only comfort him in a nice voice, "Gentlemen, I really did not consider this matter properly. Wait with peace of mind, I swear in the name of a soldier, I must give you a reasonable explanation for this matter."

"However, I hope that Your Excellency the Major can give us an accurate time. If we do business, we must not delay the time."

"Three days, three days later, I will give you gentlemen an explanation

. "

That's the way it is said, but in practice it is difficult.After contacting the Chinese authorities, Wen Lishi discovered that things were not as simple as they thought-the Chinese obviously wanted to drive them out of Macau!

But they have rented Macau for so long, and Macau has basically become their subconscious territory. How could they hand it back so willingly?What's more, the construction of the Macau port has already seen initial results, so Wen Lishi firmly stated that they would continue to lease Macau.

The Chinese representative sent to negotiate was even tougher, "Macao is a part of my Qing Dynasty. I leased the land to you a hundred years ago. It was just a pity to sympathize with you. Please don't take our charity as your proud capital. We are not here Negotiating with you, since you killed the people of the Qing Dynasty at will, Macau has not welcomed you."

The Chinese representative paused and continued, "Of course it's not that the Qing Dynasty doesn't welcome you people from Europa to do business, but since you've arrived in the Qing Dynasty, you should follow the rules of the Qing Dynasty - you can stay in the Qing Dynasty permanently, but, Our Qing emperor does not want to see this kind of Chinese model, and your armed forces make it difficult for us to trust you."

Seeing that Mr. Wen Li was still a little entangled, the Chinese representative simply threw out a stack of materials, "Our Qing rules are all here, and if you agree, please sign it. You can think about it again, Or discuss it with your congressmen, in short, if we cannot give a clear answer after three days, we will use force to defend the innocent people of the Qing Dynasty. Farewell."

——The rules were drawn up by Yinfeng Lifan Academy and Zhang Qian in conjunction with many Shanxi merchants, Huizhou merchants and even some old guys from Cantonese merchants. It is definitely the kind that only takes advantage of the advantages and does not suffer losses. Portugal will lose a lot no matter whether it should or not.

After the negotiation, Jieshu took the newly built Guangdong Navy to Hong Kong Bay for training.The daily artillery fire is loud, and the meaning of deterrence cannot be more obvious.

The Portuguese had just come out of the shadow of the Spanish Armada and regained their independence. At this time, the navy of the Qing Dynasty, regardless of what was going on inside, was not losing at all in terms of momentum—not to mention, just counting the ships The number is not comparable to Spain, not to mention that Portugal only has a few armed merchant ships here, which is not enough.Another point is that it is said that under the influence of an unknown armed force, Portugal's power in Manga has shrunk sharply recently, and the power in Macau is even more precarious.

Therefore, Yinyi is really not afraid that they will not accept the conditions of the Qing Dynasty.

The next day, Wen Lishi came to the door with a tired face, "Our parliament has no right to decide this agreement. It must be reported to the East India Company Board of Directors of the kingdom. Please allow some time limit from your country."

Wen Lishi understood that his official career should come to an end here, not to mention staying in the east, even if he returned to the kingdom, he might not be able to be reused-even though they all knew that China's tough attitude was not because he killed a For the Chinese, that was just a reason for the cunning orientals to expel them, but this handle was indeed handed over to the other party.So he also has a bit of self-abandonment.

The Chinese representatives are very tolerant, and they have heard a little about the cumbersome parliamentary procedures of Westerners, but, "Your Excellency Wen Lishi, do you want to go further?"

"One step closer?" Wen Lishi was a little at a loss.

"Please take back the original agreement, then, this is for you. Finally you can leave."

Three months later, the Portuguese East India Company sent people to Guangdong to sign an agreement, withdrawing most of the armed forces, and only designated a building as their embassy within the scope allowed by the Qing court, and other merchant houses had to go to The relevant office registered and borrowed, and Wen Lishi transformed himself into a special envoy of Portugal in Macau, enjoying some privileges.

After all the dust settled, Yinbi made a special trip to Macau.Macau is not big, and Yinyi can basically walk through it in one day. Seeing the hideous fort being taken over by soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, Yinyi felt a lot more relaxed. Then he boarded the newly built port and looked at the place in the far south. The important checkpoint of the East-West trade mentioned by the mother - Manlajia.

It didn't take long for Kangxi's decree to be sent over quickly - this time, it was to call the elder brother back to Beijing.

When receiving the imperial decree, Yinbi was dazed for a moment, but after a while he realized that he had indeed stayed in the South for too long for five years, and it was time to go back.

As for those ideas, there will be opportunities later.

Yinfei took four servants all the way to transfer by land and water, traveling day and night, and arrived in the suburbs of Beijing in the evening one month later.

It was hot summer at this time, and the wasteland in the suburbs and the surrounding trees were still lush and verdant. Yin Feng parked his horse in front of the Anding Gate, looked up at the strange and familiar tall city wall, and instantly felt like a wanderer. He was timid because of his proximity to the countryside, and was about to chat with Zhanlu to ease the atmosphere, but he saw a young man in white riding a tall horse at the gate of the city with sharp eyes.

Yinfei suddenly felt a sore nose and some pain in his eyes, he smiled self-deprecatingly, then waved and called, "Baocheng!"

"Ama didn't call you, so you didn't know you came back?" Yinfeng drove forward.

"Hey." Yinyi tried to fool around with a smirk.

"Follow me." Throwing a word, Yinfeng turned his horse's head and walked towards the city.

Yinyi was puzzled, so he drove his horse to keep up.

Yinfeng took Yinfeng to Qingxia's training ground.Today's school training ground has actually expanded several times on the original basis, and is divided into several areas, which are more suitable for training in different events. It is the racetrack that Yinfeng took Yinfeng to.

Yinbi knew at a glance that it was going to be a horse race. He was already keen on it, and he was even more eager to try it.

After everything was ready, the two horses galloped out together—just like six years ago.

This time it was Yinyi who lost.Yinbi had been running around for several days, and his physical strength was already inferior, so he didn't feel ashamed to lose at this time.

After the horse race, the two laughed and played for a while, and then lay down on the lawn as they did when they were children.

"Baoqing."

"Huh?" Yinfeng followed Yinfeng's voice and looked over.Because of just exercising, Yinfeng's fair cheeks were a little red, and there was a stream of sweat oozing from his forehead. It looked different. Yinfeng felt his cheeks were hot for no reason—probably because he had just played too intensely on horseback ?Also subconsciously want to leave the head.

Yinfeng didn't notice the abnormality of the other party, and smiled brightly at Yinfeng, with curved eyebrows, "Welcome back——"

Feeling inexplicably at ease, "Well, I'm back."
