Chapter 267

Kangxi summoned important officials to discuss, rather than putting them in the court, the purpose was to listen to the various ministers who had different opinions on "quarrel".

For example, Li Zhifang, Liang Qingbiao and others agreed to expand the scale of the navy and reorganize the army.

For example, Mingzhu and Yisan A advocate maintaining the Eight Banners system.

As the former Eight Banner nobles, it is understandable that they prefer to maintain the system of the Eight Banners. They advocated the arrangement of the Navy into the Eight Banners and the establishment of the Navy as the banner leader. Kangxi did not say a word about this.

He glanced at Soetu.

Soetu, who was also a noble family from the Eight Banners and even after the founding of the country, was mute. After all, the prince advocated reforming the Eight Banners system from beginning to end.

Yinreng not only advocated reforming the Eight Banners, but also wanted to abolish the Eight Banners and reorganize the army!

The system of the Eight Banners is unequal. The following five flags are placed on the three flags. Everyone has sharpened their heads and wants to raise the flag? It is not that the status of the Three Banners is so high and the pensions are so much. The so-called Eight Banners system was established by ancestors when the Qing Dynasty was still nomadic when the Manchus were still nomadic. It is fundamentally a management model of a nomadic tribe and has long been unacceptable to the times.

The army needs to be changed, but not now, the old nobles of the Eight Banners are still rooted, and the old guys are still in charge. They have to wait until they can no longer cover their descendants. In the court, the fresh blood in the new army has grown and replaced one by one, so that the pain brought by the reform will be less.

The demands of the Han ministers were different from those of Manchus. They safeguarded the interests of the middle and lower-class groups in the country. They hoped to break the original old system and usher in an opportunity to benefit more people and gain more fair share of the cake under the imperial power. However, Manchus were more inclined to be the upper class profiteer to protect the family and the ethnic group's interests.

Khan Ama tended to use Han ministers because they maintained the power of the emperor. Using them could prevent the overly powerful power of the Eight Banners and nobles from threatening the emperor. From the meeting of the royal ministers to the cabinet, to the current Nanshu Room, all of which were set up with more concentrated power in the emperor.

But Ahma Khan will not give up the benefits of the people, and he also needs the ministers to maintain their rule. If Yinreng himself was left in such a crack, he thought he would not be as ease as Ahma Khan. In the past few years, when the Three Feudal Rebellion was quelled, Kangxi was still wary of the Han ministers. Now, the domestic situation is stable, while greater enemies are emerging outside. The stage of the whole world is open in front of him. He is still thinking about dividing ethnic groups. The idea in his mind is how to digest domestic conflicts and gather the scattered sand in the country to fight against foreign enemies!

That's why Yinreng was afraid that Khan Ama would "retire"! The young Khan Ama always said something that scared him at any time. Khan Ama would stop retiring and let him do it. He wouldn't even cut the mess and break the Eight Banners system, and then the Qing Dynasty would perish.

Yinreng listened to the opinions of his ministers, and had no theory about whether to be incorporated into the Eight Banners or not. All the ministers agreed to expand the size of the army and believed that the time was right and appropriate. Develop the navy and expand the continental army, both sides were carried out at the same time, with the army as the main and the navy as the auxiliary, each recruiting troops and increasing the war reserves.

In response to the attitudes of Western countries, the ministers proposed the strategy of "getting far and wide and attacking near and near".

"Emperor, now a strong enemy is rising by his side. The Qing Dynasty is separated from the Western countries by the sea. The Junggar Khan tribe is so close that he is worried about threatening the capital at any time. Judging from his previous invasion of Khalkha Mongols, Galdan's wolf ambition is to expand to the east. Once the Khalkha Mongols are lost, our capital will be exposed to its eyes."

"I beg the emperor to send troops to attack the Junggar Khanate and recover the Western Regions!"

"I am also in charge of war. Galdan just surrenders to our country in person, but in fact he keeps making small moves behind his back. Once he has the opportunity to take advantage of it, it will lead to a disaster! Now that the northern border is a little more stable, Rakshasa withdraws its military strength, which is a good opportunity for our country to launch a large-scale attack on the Western Regions."

The war is abundant, the army is supported enough, and the granary is full of grain. When will the war be stopped? Will Galdan lead his troops to advance eastward?

It was also at this time that Kangxi proposed to command the emperor in person.

Yinreng heard Khan Ama mentioning that he would personally conquer the Junggar Khanate, and he was prepared for this. In particular, Yinzhen also mentioned that Khan Ama had "three conquered Galdan" in his previous life, and almost also believed that Khan Ama would personally take charge of the army and completely eliminate the tumors that grew from under his nose.

However, the reactions were particularly fierce. The ministers who had been strongly advocating the war all spoke out, strongly demanding that Kangxi dispel this dangerous idea of ​​being in charge of the army.

Kangxi said slowly: "Galdan has been the cancer that has grown under his eyes since I succeeded to the throne. I want to get rid of the future. When the late emperor was in the past, he had the ambition to take over the Western Regions. Now a good opportunity appears before me, and the crown prince will become a country that I can supervise. If I don't go in person, I will destroy the Junggar Khan's tribe and wait for the military situation in the capital, and I will be in a state of peace. It is not that I do not believe in the generals, but that I am standing in the gust of the waves of change, and I will be in the hands of those who are uneasy."

Kangxi was an ambitious and powerful lord, and in his prime, unlike the riots on the northern border, the Western Regions have been regarded as territory since ancient times. Now, Galdan called himself the Khan King without the consent of the capital, established the Khanate and was independent. Can the emperor not let the emperor get rid of it?

The emperor personally led the army to fight and went to the battlefield to boost morale. He said so firmly, and it would be useless for the ministers to persuade him.

Mumojun should not be in danger. Why should the emperor take action personally by the state-owned general? These persuasion words were just pale words in front of Kangxi, who had already made up his mind to go to war.

Kangxi said: "When the trade event comes, it will be the time to go to war!"

The trump card in his hand is enough for him to be confident in this battle. The Khalkha Mongol surrendered and obeyed the orders. The northern border was temporarily stable and the national treasury was enough to support the war. In this way, Kangxi would never allow any accidents to happen. He would definitely cut off the chaos and eliminate the Galdan power.

The longer the delay, the more unstable the western border will be. How can we talk about the major construction in the next few years? How can we still deal with the world situation?

The next day at the court meeting, Kangxi announced the news that he was about to personally expedition. The emperor would take the eldest son with him in this expedition, while the prince stayed in the capital to take charge of the country.

Yinzhen was stunned. He thought that the situation in this life was not as urgent as in the previous life. Khan Ama might not personally seek to boost morale. Unexpectedly, even if the trump card in his hand was better, Khan Ama would still make the same choice as in the previous life.

For some time after that, Yinreng was paying attention to the preparations for the war in the court and the military mobilizations in various places.

Khan Ama dispatched nearly 100,000 troops and was the head coach himself, but instead suppressed Ledehon and other generals from the original royal family.

The eldest brother took this opportunity to gain more military power and his power increased greatly.

Yinreng thoughtfully and quietly watched the emperor's layout with ease, as if he had learned the new technique of killing three birds with one stone.

Before leaving, Kangxi personally instructed Yinreng: "I sent troops west to the west, and wanted to sink all my strength to the military and political affairs. If the government of the capital is not very important, there is no need for me to decide, and the crown prince can rule himself."

Yinreng nodded seriously, feeling sad: I was only sixteen years old, only sixteen years old, and I just stepped into the situation of a community animal with half my feet.

Most of the governments of the capital were not introduced to Khan Ama, which was completely different from the previous few times of reprimanding the country. He had to make his own decisions.

Kangxi said again: "People say that elder brothers are like fathers, and I and Baoqing both went to war. Baocheng can spend more time caring about his younger brothers."

The ban on not allowing Yinreng to go to the study room was eliminated in an understatement, and Yinreng's eyes lit up.

"Yinzhi and Yinzhen can change their divisions and stay. The new division is safe. You can follow the arrangements yourself. I have left these two sons to you."

Yinreng said: "Khan Ama, can't you leave more auxiliary ministers for your sons?"

How could he take Li Zhifang, Li Tianfu, and both Li Li away, but he also took Liang Qingbiao away. Fortunately, Chen Tingjing was in charge of the treasury in the Ministry of Revenue and failed to take Chen Tingjing away.

Nalan Mingzhu, Ledehon and Soetu all went to the border, and the two princes, Prince Yu and Prince Gong, also led troops to fight with Khan Ama.

The only one who left Yinreng to be the prime minister was the old Wang Xi, who was the former head of the Hanlin Academy who was the first Grand Secretary of the Wenhua Palace.

The other Grand Secretary collected all the other three, packed them and took them away. The rest of Yinreng wanted to ask someone, so he could only recruit ministers from various departments and courts to have a meeting.

Kangxi said: "What I took away are people who are proficient in strategy and good at fighting, and what I left for you are people who are good at governing the country and rectifying internal affairs."

Yinreng: "You will also take away those who are good at fighting and governing the country."

Kangxi asked him tentatively: "Then I will leave Soetu for you?"

Before Yinreng nodded, Kangxi blew his nostrils and raised his chin to glance at him: "You think so beautifully."

Yinreng: "..."

Seeing that the eggplant that Prince Rushuang had beaten, Kangxi couldn't help but comfort him: "There is probably no major thing here in the capital. It's an ordinary politician for governing the country. If you stay by my side and learn so much, you will be able to manage the government yourself. There is no need to worry about not being able to stand alone."

Kangxi patted Yinreng on the shoulder: I believe in you, you can be weaned.

Yinreng was like an abandoned puppy, staring at Khan Ama taking away a large number of old donkeys, going further and further away, and was determined to keep him, and his heart was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.

After Kangxi left, Yinreng fell into a state of movement like a gyro.

There were only two Grand Secretary of the Cabinet left, and Wang Xi was still very old, so Yinreng could only use one and a half.

Xu Yuanwen was a expressionless stone. He was very reserved and did not slander the prince. He was only responsible for the government affairs he received and refused Yinreng to give him more things.

Yinreng looked at the only one and a half donkey left, and then the book case surrounded by the ocean of memorials. Without the help of his third grandfather, he could only call back Azhen, who went home to take the imperial examination and Dezhu, who had been studying abroad for further studies and accumulated qualifications.

Cao Zhen originally planned to take the imperial examination path. After becoming a relative, he had a family, and then he should start a career. Perhaps because he saw that his father was in a high position and was attacked by other colleagues, he was not from the imperial examination. Cao Zhen especially wanted to prove his ability and be an official from the imperial examination.

When Yinreng called Cao Zhen, he was actually a little hesitant. If he gave up this year, maybe Azhen would not continue the exam in three years, which is a pity.

Dezhu advised him: "If Cao Zhen knew that the slave had returned to His Highness to do things and he was left behind, it might be even more regretful."

When he was a child, Cao Zhen cried at all times. Now I wonder if he would still cry on the scene?

Yinreng then wrote to him and asked Cao Zhen if he would return to Beijing to do things?

Cao Zhen gave up his fame and honor in the provincial examination without hesitation, and immediately returned to Beijing when he heard the call.

Is it important to be the secretary of His Highness the Crown Prince when taking the imperial examination? Cao Zhen is determined to be the first hawk under His Highness, oh no, the first secretary!

The left-behind children are already miserable, but they still have to work, which is even worse. Yinreng counts Yinzhi and Yinzhen who are sympathetic, and takes the opportunity to take Yinzhen, who has experience as an emperor, over.

At that time, Yinzhen was talking to Yinzhen. Princess Yinzhen pulled out a gloomy smile and said to Yinzhen in a malicious tone while her mother was away, "My fourth brother, you probably don't know yet. All the treasury that you have saved up with all your efforts will be ruined by that boy Hongli?"

"Going to Jiangnan, going to Jiangnan, Khan Ama went to Jiangnan to govern the country and ease the conflict between Manchu and Han Dynasty. Your son went to Jiangnan to make the beauty and good scenery in Jiangnan! Hahahahaha."

Yin Nei's face turned as dark as the bottom of the pot: "It's you."

"Why, my brother has given you a dream before, you forgot?" Princess Yinzhen spoke too quickly and spit out a bubble of milk. She couldn't help but burp. Her originally arrogant face froze and she covered her mouth awkwardly. The girl's skin was tender and her ears were red.

Yinzhen took a deep breath and was about to speak when there was a chaotic sound coming from outside, Concubine De walked in.

He immediately stopped the conversation and pretended to be playing with Yinzhen.

Yinzhen: "..."

In order to hide my embarrassment, I also pretended to be playing.

Concubine De smiled: "Look at you, do you like Sister Wen Shi so much?"

Yinzhen said against his will: "My sister has a close relationship. She is much fatter than Wen Xian. She will be blessed when she sees it."

Concubine De couldn't help but chuckled: "Yes, Wen Shi was lucky to see it."

"By the way, His Highness the Crown Prince sent Eunuch Wei from Qianqing Palace to come to you, saying that you want you to assist and govern the country together."

Concubine De's eyes were filled with joy and encouragement. She hoped that the fourth prince could occupy a higher position in the court.

Yinzhi: "..."

I knew I could not escape this disaster.
