Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

Page 360

Zhuge Sanhe can pinch and count, of course he knows that he will not live long...Of course he will have no regrets in this life.He was originally a quack warlock, and he was born in the last days, so he was lucky to be on the couch of old age and death.But who would have thought that due to chance, the achievements he has established now have far surpassed that Zhuge Kongming who doesn't know if he is his true ancestor.

Now, what makes him worry about the old man is of course that he assists Zhu Tianwang, Zhu Heqi and his son to establish this new big tomorrow dynasty.

Although Zhuge Sanhe can also be regarded as one of the founders of the new Ming Dynasty... and he is also one of the founding heroes whose avatar can be used for banknotes in the future!But he still doesn't quite understand what kind of country is the new Ming Dynasty that he participated in creating?

This country has too many new things, new systems, and new knowledge, and even the world it exists in is new to old-school figures like Zhuge Sanhe.

So he didn't understand, and was also a little worried, worried that after this generation of heroes and officials passed away, the huge Celestial Empire would fall apart... The death and division of the First Emperor might happen to the new Great Tomorrow Dynasty.

Because in his opinion, the current new Great Tomorrow Dynasty is too big, and it is still expanding. The degree of expansion is the same as when the Great Qin conquered the six kingdoms and established a unified dynasty that ruled all the lands in the world. The expansion is even worse.

Fortunately, the huge celestial dynasty established by Zhu Hechi was not a completely unified unified country, but a semi-centralized and semi-feudal country composed of a multi-layered system of direct provinces, inner vassals, and outer vassals.

In Zhuge Sanhe's view, such a country is somewhat similar to the Western Han Dynasty established by Han Gaozu, but it has expanded many times, although it will not collapse overnight like the Qin Dynasty.But it is easy to fall into chaos after the death of the hero, just like the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion in the Western Han Dynasty.

But the kings of the Seven Kingdoms in the Western Han Dynasty were all princes and kings with the surname Liu after all.And now the seven vassal lords of the new Ming Dynasty are all of different surnames and races!

Although among the foreign vassals of Ming Dynasty, there are already four vassal kings with the same surname, Shang, Yin, Myanmar, and Lu, and there will definitely be more vassal kings with the same surname in the future.

However, these vassal kings with the same surname are all sealed far away, and the power to seal the country is not strong. Once there is chaos in the Celestial Dynasty, they will be powerless to help.

So Zhuge Sanhe thought about it, and he could only trouble Emperor Zhu and Mrs. Anu to work harder and have a few more sons to become vassal kings with the same surname.

Zhuge Sanhe considered it carefully and said: "My lord, if Galdan can be taken from Yeerqiang to Suiye City this time, the three lands of Kashgar, Yeerqiang, and Khotan and the acquired land of Galdan The tribe must not be handed over to a certain Mongolian prince! Otherwise, the grassland and the plateau will be connected...they must be separated."

"What the military advisor said is absolutely true!" Zhu Hexi nodded repeatedly, seeming to agree with Zhuge Military Advisor's analysis.But in fact, he was not worried at all about the power of the Mongolian kings sealed on the grasslands and plateaus.

Because times have changed!

On the one hand, the army of the Ming Dynasty has already begun to replace the rifled guns equipped with cork bullets... The guns that Zhu Hexi gave Yinrong are all second-hand guns that have been replaced!

On the other hand, after the founding of the new Ming Dynasty, the land equalization system was implemented by taking advantage of the small population and large land in the country, which also allowed the Ming court to control the land and population of the three capitals and twenty provinces to an unprecedented degree.And it has also leveled the gap between the rich and the poor in society to a considerable extent, making most people on a relatively fair starting line.

Moreover, this kind of average was not achieved by the new Ming court seriously infringing on private property.So instead of making people terrified of getting rich...

According to Zhu Heqi's experience, this kind of wealth is relatively average, the class is not solidified, there are relatively more opportunities, and the total amount and per capita of various resources (including capital) are very rich, it is simply the beginning of the country of choice ah!

America, the chosen country after the Civil War, is nothing more than that!

With such a good hand, even without Zhu Heqi's technological golden fingers, the 21 provinces of Sanjing in the new Ming Dynasty should have entered the gate of industrialization in the 18th century.

Does an industrialized country need to worry about a group of grassland peoples who are good at singing and dancing?

In fact, the main purpose of Zhu Heqi to win over the Mongols is to create some nomadic "Yin family" to contain the United States of America!

However, Emperor Zhu had no objection to having a child with Anuduo, he thought about it, frowned and said: "There are still two sons..."

It is not the son of Zhu and Qie, but the son of Anu Que!

Anu now controls the Shunyi Palace and leads the various Mongolian tribes on the Hetao Grassland.And Sebuten Baljur, son of Galdan, king of Shunyi in name.It would not be difficult for Anu to distribute part of the land and population under the jurisdiction of the Shunyi Palace to the sons born to Zhu and Qi...just give Sebuten Baljur the corresponding compensation, such as money, salary, and the palace. , Grange or something, everyone is always happy.

But asking Anu to distribute her son's property to outsiders who are not related to her by blood is a different matter.

"It's three!" Zhuge Sanhe said in a low voice, "at least three...don't the Holy One think that King Shunyi's territory is too large and there are too many followers? It's best to divide it into two. It can be on the Hetao Grassland near Ningxia. Conferring a king with the same surname will cut off the connection between Shunyi Palace and Hexi, Qinghai, and Khovduo, and the Chahar-Khalka tribes in Mobei have many conflicts with the Chuoros family, so there is no need to worry about their alliance."

Although Zhuge Sanhe's strategies are outdated, Zhu Heqi still nodded repeatedly, "Military commander, don't worry... I will definitely find a way, even if Anu can't have three sons, I can still let Beja Xin's son married Anu's daughter Zhong Qihai. How about letting this kid eat Zhong Qihai's soft rice?"

"That's fine, that's fine too." Zhuge Sanhe nodded again and again, then changed the subject again, frowning slightly, "My lord, did you give Yinreng too much things and money? Are you looking forward to seeing Yinreng?" Will Feng fight against Kangxi and his son?"

"Doesn't the military division have such an idea?" Zhu Heqi asked with a smile.

"Hahaha..." Army Master Zhuge laughed "badly".

In fact, Zhu Heyi didn't think so... He helped Yinreng purely out of great fatherly love!It is the love of a "father civilization" for his "lost son civilization".

In Zhu Heyi's view, Yinreng's Western Qing Dynasty was still part of Chinese civilization after all!If the Western Qing Dynasty can develop in the Western Regions and establish a Chinese branch in the Western Regions, it will only be good for the "father country" of Ming Dynasty, and there will be no harm.

Among other things, Xiqing can at least act as a barrier against Tianfang Sect's eastward advance!

That alone makes its existence worthwhile.

In addition, because after Kangxi entered India, he began to implement the "Five and Eight Banners" system, which is to follow the integration of civilizations.What will it look like in the end?Zhu and Qi don't know much about it, but the Western Qing Dynasty, which relied on Confucianism to build the country, can probably survive in the Western Regions.

From this perspective, Xiqing is not the son of the "Kangxi Empire", but the son of the Chinese Ming Dynasty.

At this time, Zhu Heqi had already helped his old military adviser to the gate of the courtyard where he lived, and Zhuge Sanhe's two concubines were already guarding the gate to welcome him.

Zhu Heqi's complexion darkened, and he told the two concubines: "Remember, King Xingwu's disease comes from the mouth, so you must avoid eating...Less oil and salt, try to be as light as possible, and don't eat seafood or thick soup. gone."

Zhuge Sanhe is suffering from a "disease of wealth" now!

As he said that, he took out another milky white porcelain bottle and handed it to one of the older women, "This is the medicine I personally prepared for King Xingwu to treat heart palpitations. When I get sick, I put a piece under my tongue."

The heart of this great strategist is also not very good, he has been sick several times, but fortunately he has recovered.But who knows what will happen next time?Fortunately, Zhu Heqi had already prepared nitroglycerin in the laboratory, so they made some low-purity nitroglycerin and used it as a heart disease medicine...the third phase of clinical trials has been done, and it seems to be useful.

Then Zhu Hechi gave Zhuge Sanhe the same bottle, "Military Master, this is also a bottle of medicine for heart palpitations, take it with you!"

Chapter 840 Yinfeng, Dad loves you!

In the 30th year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, Suiye City.

This legendary city that has disappeared in the long river of history since the decline of the Tang Empire has now reappeared on the bank of the vast and barren Chu River.However, Suiye City, which reappeared, did not have the prosperous scene of the former Silk Road town, but became a military city where troops were stationed.

The Suiye City built by the Western Qing army led by Yinfeng and Kong Shenggong is not an isolated city, but a castle system consisting of a main city and four branch cities in the southeast, northwest and north.And this main city and four branch cities are all quite solid rammed earth bastions, the main city is an octagonal bastion, and the four auxiliary cities are triangular forts.One master and four branches, with a total of [-] "corners", each "corner" is a fort, with a total of more than [-] cannons, mortars, and sub-cannons deployed, which is enough to make a cannon that can be used as impregnable as gold. Described as a solid fortress system.

But it is also this fortress system that completely exposed the true thoughts of the powerful factions around Yinrong—although everyone is under the banner of anti-Ming and Qing Dynasty, it is obvious that no one really wants to attack Daming. What the guy thinks is how to be partial to the separatist regime!

The banner of anti-Ming and Qing Dynasty is only used to fool those stupid people who want to fight back to the Central Plains day and night.

Aixinjueluo Yinfeng was originally one of those fools. When he first arrived in Suiye City, he was still thinking about taking Ili first, then marching into Junggar, Khobdo, and Khalkha, and finally going south to attack Beijing. .

But as time went by, he got older, he knew more and more things, and his enthusiasm for restoring the Qing Dynasty gradually dissipated... Da Ming is so powerful!And his own capital is really too thin, not to mention fighting with the real soldiers of Ming Dynasty, it is the Mongolian nomadic cavalry of the king of Ili County, Cewang Allah Butan, one of the seven inner domains of the Ming Dynasty, and it is not the soldiers of the Western Qing Dynasty in Yinfeng And the Horqin cavalry on the Kazakh grassland can be defeated.

What made Yinreng even more discouraged was that his Ama Kangxi Khan, who didn't know the truth or falsehood, supported the great cause of anti-Ming and Qing Dynasty mainly by lip service.

Except that when the old lady just passed away, she took out some real money and brown sugar to support Yinfeng, and then she has been supporting him with empty words.

What he said was beautiful, and all kinds of imperial decrees of awards were sent to Suiye Mansion without money.

But the assistance that really comes in handy is pitifully small!

And what chills Yinreng the most is that Kangxi Khan has sent more aid to Czar Peter of Raksha Kingdom in recent years than to his son!

What does this mean?This shows that Kangxi Khan paid more attention to Yinjinni than Yinreng, so much so that he loved the house and Wu, and even Yinjinni's uncle Peter was stained.

In addition, the people in Confucianism's dark hall also obtained reliable and reliable news from the court of Nanjing's Pingtian Mansion. Although Yin Yuni is young, she has shown extraordinary talent. This child is very smart and has a particularly good memory. He is also a very fast learner, and he is getting bigger. Kangxi Khan likes him more and more... I have told people more than once that the Mongolian Khan's position can be brotherly and brotherly!

Hearing these words, Yinfeng felt a little chills down his spine!

He is only 17 years old... is he about to die?

Because he felt that he was facing the risk of "brother's death", Yinreng made up his mind to find dear Ama... This Ama, it's better to kiss her!

Sitting in his study in the impenetrable Suiye City, Yinfeng was terrified when he saw the secret report about Kangxi Khan's "love between husband and wife, joy between father and son" just sent by the dark hall of Confucian Zong!

Just when he was worried that Kangxi Khan and Tiger Poison would eat his son, the voice of his "brother" Man Duhu suddenly sounded outside the door: "Your Majesty, Sima Shang is back!"

This Man Duhu is Chang Ning's second son, because Chang Ning surrendered to Daming in the name of Kangxi, he and his elder brother Yongshou have always been hated by Kangxi.Fortunately, under the protection of the old lady Empress Bumbutai, the brothers did not let Kangxi Khan harm them.And because these two brothers have been living with Bumbutai, they also stay with Yinfeng.The relationship between the three brothers has always been very good, but the "boss" Yongshou among the three died of an unexplained illness five years ago, so only Yinfeng and Manduhu were left to depend on each other.

Up to now, Manduhu, who was only born this year, has become Yinreng's army guard, and together with Yinreng's attendant Sima Shang and attendant Huang Tiren, they are also known as the "Three Belly Hearts of the Lord of the Qing Dynasty".It was the three of them who helped Yinreng find his father.

By the way, Kong Shenggong didn't know anything about Yinreng looking for his father, otherwise he wouldn't let Yinreng mess around.In fact, Kong Shenggong has been very busy in the past two years, busy with the government affairs of Shangjingqi Tianfu, and he has to compete with people from Tianfang Sect and Lamaism for believers...Tianfang Sect is a monotheistic religion, and Lamaism is a polytheistic religion. It is a school of philosophy, so Confucianism is always a bit lacking in confidence when it comes to the struggle for theocracy, and can only rely on the relationship between Kong Shenggong and Horqin Mongolia and the means of convincing people with virtue to expand the market.

Therefore, the teaching of Yinreng was ignored, and Yinreng's education was left to Wang Jie, Sima Shang and Huang Tiren.As a result, if he didn't pay attention, Yinfeng was ruined by the teacher, and he actually suspected that his Ama was not a pro-Ama.

"Hurry up, bring Sima Shang into the palace," Yinfeng said, "and call Huang Tiren here."

"Whoo!"

Manduhu replied, and then there was a sound of footsteps getting lighter and lighter.

After a while, there was another sound of footsteps, followed by Man Duhu's voice: "Your Majesty, Sima Shang and Huang Tiren are here."

"Come in! Come in quickly!" Yinfeng couldn't wait any longer. Sima Shang's envoy this time is related to whether he will be "killed by brother"!

"Whoo!"

The three people outside responded, and then there was a creaking sound of pushing the door, and then the three of them filed in.Walking in the front was Man Duhu, a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, with a rather thick head and a thick head.Then there are two middle-aged people in their early thirties, one is gentle and the other is a dusty person.The gentle man is Huang Tiren, Yinreng's confidant and think tank. Of course, he is also a Confucian disciple, and he moved westward with Kong Shenggong.And the dusty man was Sima Shang, who was sent to Ili this time. He did not follow Cewang Arabtan to Xi'an, but stayed in Yining to wait for the news.After waiting for several months, I finally met Nalan Mingzhu and Kangxi General Chang Ning in Yining.

"My Majesty, I am so honored to see you in Yining!"

After walking into Yinreng's study, Sima Shang announced the good news to Yinreng while kneeling.

In fact, he couldn't be sure that General Kangxi was Yinfeng's real father...but he gave too much!

"Really?" Yinfeng seemed a little unbelievable, and at the same time a little excited, so that his voice trembled.

"Really! It's absolutely true..." Sima Shang took out a letter from Chang Ning and a checklist while wrapping the ticket, and handed them over with both hands.

At this time, there were no eunuchs and maids on duty in the study.So Yinreng got up from behind the desk, walked up to Sima Shang who was kneeling, and took the letter and list.

Chang Ning's handwritten letter was still stuffed in a sealed envelope, and the list was just a notebook.

So Yinfeng unfolded the booklet and read it.At a glance, he immediately felt a strong paternal love.

"A year of 20 silver dollars plus 20 catties of sugar, and so many muskets and cannons at once. Ama... woo woo woo..."

Yinfeng cried.

This grandma is really kind!

In fact, Kangxi Khan could also give these things on the list, but he just didn't want to give so much.

Because in Kangxi's view, Yinreng's so-called Eastern Expedition was a child's nonsense, and it was impossible to succeed.

And there are many benefits, Yinfeng, Xiqinghan, might pose a threat to Yinjinni in the future...

"Your Majesty," Sima Shang said again at this time, "Emperor Zhentai has now arrived in Yining and lives in the palace of Tserwang Allah Butan. He is also accompanied by Master Mingzhu Mingxiang... Do you want meet him?"

"Of course I want to see you!" Yinfeng said decisively, "That's my dear Ama! Sima Shang, have you made an appointment with my dear Ama?"

Is he your dear Ama?Sima Shangxin said: "You said that, but I said that...and that General Kangxi has no pockmarks!"

Thinking of this, Sima Shang glanced at Yinreng again, and Yinreng had no pockmarks - he had smallpox when he was a child, but he didn't "inherit" Kangxi's pockmarked face, and he didn't look much like Kangxi.Kangxi is a bit cunning, while Yinfeng has a big round face, which is a bit like that General Kangxi.

It seems that this Ama is between intimacy and non-intimacy!

"Your Majesty," Sima Shang said, "Cewangarabutan suggested that we can meet on the water of Temuer Tu Nur. The time is up to us."

Temurtunur is Lake Issyk-Kul, located in the northern part of the Tianshan Mountains. It is a large mountain lake with an altitude of five or six hundred feet, a length of more than 300 miles from east to west, and a width of more than [-] miles from north to south.Moreover, there is a lot of rainfall in the eastern part of the coast of Temurtunur, which is definitely a rare area suitable for farming in the arid Western Regions.

Before Yinreng's Eastern Expedition, the area around Temurtunur was completely controlled by Cewang Arabtan, but because it was nearly a thousand miles away from Cewang's Yining City, Cewang did not station soldiers there.Therefore, after the completion of the broken leaf city, the western part of Temurtunur was controlled by Yinfeng's army, and they built a bastion called "Rechibao" there.After Ce Wang found out about this, he also built a bastion on the east bank of Temuer Tu Nur, named "Qingchi Fort".

However, neither side tried to attack the other side's bastion, but maintained the state of Jiahu confrontation. After all, the bastion is not so easy to fight, and neither side of the "oily land" in Temuertu Nur will let go easily. If there is a fight, it must be the decisive battle between Xiqing and Yili Palace...

"It's the twelfth lunar month of Kangxi's 30th year now," Yinreng counted the days, and then said with great expectation, "Then next March! Sima Shang, work hard, and go to Yining City after the new year. Make an appointment with me, Amma, and Tsevan Allah Butan!"

"Whoo!"

……

In the twelfth lunar month of the 30th year of Kangxi, in Suiye City north of Tianshan Mountain, it was already covered with ice and snow, but in Nanjing Pingtian Mansion in the Mongolian Kingdom, it was the most pleasant season of the year.In the twelfth lunar month, the temperature in Pingtian Mansion is neither high nor low, and there is plenty of sunshine, and the weather is always very clear. Kangxi Khan can't help but think of spring in Beijing...

He now also owns a completely Chinese-style palace, which is located in the Qitianfu Banner City near the Ravi River to the north of Qitianfu City.Qitianfu’s Banner City is also a fairly strong bastion, but it does not occupy a large area, which is similar to the imperial city in Beijing, so the palace inside can only be a pocket-sized one, without the inner city of Qitianfu (Lahore). The Lahore Fort Grand.But the construction is very delicate, no less than the Forbidden City in Beijing.

Because the New Year is approaching, the yamen in Pingtianfu City, Nanjing, have already had their annual holidays, but those who returned to the Eight Banners, the Yin Eight Banners, the Sikh Green Camp, and the Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Tianfang and Sikh civil servants who were born in the imperial examinations did not take it. The custom of the Spring Festival, so for them, the annual leave is just a day for them to prepare for migration.

Now the imperial court of the Indian Empire actually implements the system of two capitals in winter and summer. Every autumn and winter, Nanjing Pingtianfu, that is, Lahore, is the capital.In spring and summer, they moved to Kabul on the Afghan plateau... By the way, Kabul now has a name with Chinese characteristics, called "Summer Resort"!

Because the distance between Nanjing Pingtian Mansion and the Summer Resort is more than 200 miles.Moreover, every time Kangxi migrated, he would visit the five core provinces of the Indian Empire, Delhi, Punjab, Indus, Gandhara, and Afghanistan, so the actual itinerary was more than two It often takes a month and a half to cover a thousand miles.Therefore, Emperor Kangxi actually spends three months on the road every year, and lives in Nanjing Pingtian Mansion for four and a half months. Most of the remaining four and a half months will be spent in the summer resort, and a small part of the time will be in the north of the summer resort. in a paddock by the Amu Darya.

Kangxi would meet with prominent figures from Beijing Kaitianfu, Bukhara Khanate, Khiva Khanate, Xiqing Khanate, Kazakh Grassland and other places in the paddock by the Amu Darya River, and accept their pilgrimage.

But Kangxi has not seen his son Yinfeng in the paddock by the Amu Darya for two years... This Xiqing Khan and the Mongolian crown prince always stays in Suiye in the name of busy military affairs, and he doesn't seem to miss him at all. ama.

Thinking of his son, Kangxi sighed, and then the voice of his eldest son, Zhijun Wang Yinti rang in his ears: "Huang Ama, why should you sigh? Do you miss your second child? Why don't you take a trip to break it?" Ye, bring the second child to the Amu Darya paddock to kowtow to you?"

Chapter 841 Father is kind and son is filial, brothers and friends are respectful, women sing and husbands follow

When Kangxi heard what his eldest son said, he also sighed softly, and said in a low voice: "I really miss it a little. Yinfeng is still so young, but he is already in charge of his own work, and he is still on the front line of resisting violence. It is really not easy. Ah... Boss, it will be hard for you to take a trip to Suiye City."

"Your minister leads the decree." Zhijun Wang Yinti hurriedly cupped his hands and saluted.

Kangxi sighed again: "Boss, you have to talk to him well...it's not easy for him to defend the country in Suiye Mansion!"

Listening to Emperor Kang Mazi's words, there is really a little affection for the calf.But if you go deep into his heart, you will find that Yinreng, whom Kangxi loves, is still a round-headed baby, not the rebellious youth in Sui Yecheng.

The current Emperor Kang Mazi already has fourteen princes. Except for this Yinfeng, the others have followed Kangxi in recent years.So Kangxi watched these sons grow up little by little, but Yinfeng and Kangxi were very close.When Yinrong was young, Kangxi was busy fighting everywhere and rarely saw him.This Yinfeng is like a left-behind child, raised by his great-grandmother.Later, Kangxi fled to the Western Regions, and his career finally stabilized, so he took Yinti and other children by his side and cared for him personally.However, because Yinreng became the Khan of the Western Qing Dynasty, he had to guard the Khanate, and the old queen mother Bumbutai had a gap with her grandson Kangxi, and she was unwilling to let Yinreng, who was the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, live with Kangxi.

As a result, Kangxi and his second son were very unfamiliar, and his impression of him remained at a very young age—although Kangxi met him a few times later, every time he thought of Yinfeng, he appeared in his mind Yes, it is still Yinreng's baby form. At that time, Kangxi was still the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and Yinreng was still the prince of the Qing Dynasty... What a beautiful memory!

Kangxi sighed again, then turned around and looked at the twelve princes and nine princesses standing under the same roof, who were about to watch people set off firecrackers, what a big family!However, Kangxi's favorite sixth son of the emperor, the Crown Prince of India and the Prince of Kabul, Yin Jinni, was not among them.

Yin Jinni is following his mother Sofia to worship in the chapel in the imperial city!
