In the year when opium was banned, Yinreng was seventeen years old. Kangxi and Du Lide just thought that children had finally grown up and matured, but they did not know that changing personalities was a normal manifestation of young people entering the rebellious period.

After bidding farewell to Yao Qisheng, Yinreng joined the career again. Yinzhi made great news in the west, and Kangxi looked happy and continued to send reinforcements under Yinzhi's letter, hoping to defeat Galdan as soon as possible and take advantage of the victory to conquer the Western Regions.

News also came from overseas that the battle of the Great Alliance between the Western countries was in dire straits, and the countries were full of eyes. France captured a large area of ​​land under the leadership of the Sun King, and is now challenging the union of all countries with the power of one country.

The territory on land and the power to dominate the sea is in the hands of the Sun King. He issued sanctions to the Netherlands, raised tariffs with the Netherlands, and garrisoned military forces in occupied territories such as Luxembourg, Lorraine, and stared at Spain next door. He supported King James to regain domestic power, confronted King William of England, and promoted the chaos in England's internal affairs.

Even under such circumstances, Western countries have not stopped colonizing and expanding outwardly, and have even plundered from outside to gain benefits and supply their domestic consumption.

War is the most depleting of national strength. During this period, no country has free time to recuperate and develop, except Rakshasa!

Tsar Peter brought back many craftsmen from the West, set off a wave of reform in China, set up schools, reorganized and trained new troops, and established firearm factories and naval bases. He overturned the original separation of lords from various places, and also learned from the provincial and local hierarchies of the Qing Dynasty, and established a governor!

There was a tumult between Rakshasa and the church. Peter tried his best to reform domestic religions and embezzle church forces, and forced himself to eat the church independent of the regime, intending to integrate its flesh and blood into the national affairs and obey the orders of the Tsar.

The Rakshasa Kingdom, which was looked down upon by Khan Ama, was renovated in a blink of an eye. It felt like a whip behind the lazy donkey. Yinreng shuddered and wanted to get up and do something more.

Since sending people to various countries, Kangxi and the court officials have never mentioned preventing the prosperity of foreign education.

News from various countries continues to come, and the movements of the world are in front of the civil and military officials in the court. No one wants to be blindfolded and covered his ears again. If he does not listen to this information or pay attention to the world, he always feels that he will fall behind others and keep his eyes shut.

"The Art of War" says: Knowing the enemy and knowing oneself will never be defeated in a hundred battles. This refers to the current change in the court's attitude towards the prosperity of external learning.

When he was in court, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs initiated the remarks: "Now, the Joseon Dynasty, the Vietnamese Dynasty, Myanmar, Siam, Japan, Ryukyu and other vassal states sent envoys to the capital. The Lifanyuan received a letter from him and learned that the concerns of the various vassal states were caused by Western trade. The Japanese, Ryukyu and other countries were deeply disturbed by them, and they begged the Qing Dynasty to protect us and explore our attitude towards Western trade."

Foreigners were not as polite to the Qing Dynasty when dealing with colonial aggression in other regions. The Qing Dynasty had naval, cannon, and its renowned reputation in the battle with Rakshasa. It had the energy and foundation of the great powers left to the world by foreign trade. When weak countries faced colonial forces, they could only be forced to surrender.

In the farther continent, the Qing Dynasty did not have control over it, but the vassal states that were in the same East Asian continent and had relationships could not help but want to talk about the Qing Dynasty's attitude towards this, hoping to rely on the sect leader to avoid being colonized and plundered by foreign forces.

The court officials began to discuss it enthusiastically, and some said, "It is time to show the restless vassal states. How can they survive without the protection of the Qing Dynasty?"

Some people also said: "This is a bad statement. Since ancient times, there has been no way to treat these vassal states. As long as they are obedient, our country needs to be aware of their own affairs?"

"A small country does not know its duty and should be punished, rather than stand by when it is bullied." Beating a dog depends on the owner! In name, it is a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty. Isn't it a shame for them to lose face if they are occupied?

Some people who understand it also said: "If the vassal states are adjacent to our country, if they are invaded by the West, it will be extremely difficult for our country to survive alone."

"The Kingdom of Korea does not avoid the title of His Royal Highness. They learn the culture of our country's Han Dynasty and do not know the principle of avoiding the title? This matter cannot be done well."

Originally, the relationship between the sect leader and vassal states in the Qing Dynasty tribute system was just asking them to surrender. Every time they came to pay tribute, they also gave them a taste of sweetness and supported them. Without comparison, they could not feel that now, with contrast, those Western colonial forces like hungry wolf scared them to the point of being so scared!

Our country is rich, generous, considerate, and noble. We treat vassal states with gentleness. If you come to surrender, we will support you. The Han culture is not stingy. If you like to learn, you will learn. If you don’t learn, we will teach you. Instead of exploiting you, you will provide protection to you and never interfere with your internal affairs. In this way, each of them makes some small moves, such as a cat who is tickling his master, not being obedient at all!

The vassal states that fell into the hands of Western forces had only one end. The internal affairs were controlled by them and the people were suppressed. The lifeline of the country was sucked away by the West like bone marrow. There was only barbaric and ruthless plunder, wishing that they could eat their flesh and drink their blood, and swallow their land together with their roots and stems.

Now I know that the Qing Dynasty is better? Now I know that I have come up and hugged my thighs? What have I done before!

After the court officials discussed it, it was ultimately up to the emperor's attitude.

Kangxi said: "Since ancient times, I have been governing vassal states with soft strategies. I have not unified the Western Regions yet, so I have no time to take care of it. If vassal states are invaded by foreign countries, it will be a troublesome for the Qing Dynasty."

The court officials knew it and made suggestions.

In other vassal states, the Lifanyuan has documentary records. For example, the Ryukyu Kingdom is a little Guaigu who is obedient and obedient, so the Qing Dynasty is naturally willing to give it shelter.

Myanmar and Vietnamese dynasties who surrendered after their defeat and temporarily obeyed their own self-righteousness are temporarily protected.

But Japan is a strange country. The envoys who came this time claimed to be the retainers of Tokugawa Tsuyoshi, the fifth generation general of the expedition. The emperor in their small island country had no sense of existence at all. The entire country was ruled by samurai.

Nalan Xingde reiterated: "Although the Tokugawa shogunate often sends envoys to the Qing Dynasty to give gifts, they have close trade with the Qing Dynasty, and intend to maintain friendship with the Qing Dynasty. This is because the trade of the country requires dependent exports to the Qing Dynasty. However, I have never seen any documents to prove that the Tokugawa shogunate has made a promise to the Qing Dynasty. It seems that it is a tribute, but in fact it has avoided paying tribute to the Qing Dynasty many times, and the ministers doubted the sincerity of Japan."

It is true that Japan and the Qing Dynasty have never had any unhappiness, but they have never admitted to surrendering to the Qing Dynasty. While they need to seek asylum and increase trade, they are reluctant to bow their heads. This is why the prime minister of the Qing Dynasty can hold a boat in his stomach. Will he be tolerant of them?

Among the vassal states, those who have clearly surrendered their vassal states need to seek protection. There are documents in the Lifan Court, which can be accepted. What is Japan?

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized that "The Japanese have never verbally stated that they have sanctioned our country in the document, and there is no record of the Lifan Academy!"

Nalan Xingde hated being futile in his life. It would be fine if his own people beat him Qiu Feng, but Japan still wants to take advantage of the opportunity. How can such a good thing be?

As long as someone wants to have sex for free and there is a slight disturbance, Nalan Xingde immediately became alert.

Yinreng proposed: "Khan Ama, I will not give orders and order Japan to submit documents of surrender to the Qing Dynasty. If he does not want to surrender, he will only refuse it."

In the future, we will do business, and we will lead other vassal states to conduct mutual trade, and benefit mutually with other neighbors, forming a relationship of interest in the sovereign states leading to common prosperity in small countries. We will no longer engage in neighbor relationships in Japan, and we will treat them as outsiders with the same status as Western countries in the future.

Geographically, these vassal states snuggled up to the Qing Dynasty, and their attitude towards them was of course different from that of Westerners across the ocean.

Some ministers also disagreed. Based on the previous good relationship between Japan and the Qing Dynasty, they tried to convince Yinreng.

"Your Highness, Japan has never had any extra thoughts. Myanmar and Vietnamese dynasties have fought with the Qing Dynasty. They only surrendered after losing. Compared to them, Japan is more obedient."

"If you don't have too much thought, then when the Qing Dynasty asked him to surrender, the Tokugawa shogunate would make the right choice."

The prince glanced at him lightly, with a calm expression.

After the prince no longer likes to laugh, he puts great pressure on people when he looks at people. When he originally likes to laugh, he looks like a big boy, gentle and sunny, and while attracting people, he does not put pressure on people. So the court officials only regard the prince as respected because of the emperor and because of his identity.

Now that the ban on opium has passed, the court officials began to look directly at the crown prince himself and felt awe of Yinreng.

"Yangtze is an island country, not far from the coast of the Qing Dynasty. The geographical location destined to be entangled with the Qing Dynasty. Since that is the case, whoever takes the lead will have to be clear about this matter."

We cannot destroy their country, and we will pull the neighbors around us to isolate them and see who is sad?

Anyway, the Lifan Academy documents are waiting, and it is easy to say if you pay tribute and behave well.

In fact, Japan is not a permissive country.

They refused to surrender to the Qing Dynasty and hoped to continue to maintain friendship.

The Qing Dynasty Foreign Ministry spoke: "Of course you can maintain friendship. The Qing Dynasty has always treated people with politeness. Since we want to maintain friendship, please also ask your country to abide by its duties."

Don’t think about the treatment of vassal states, and sit together with Western countries to engage in trade competition. I understand?

This statement was immediately released, and the Qing Dynasty increased its tariffs on Japan, setting it at the same level as those of Western countries, and more preferential treatment was only open to the well-behaved and obedient vassal states.

The vassal states learned the Han culture and carried out education under the influence of the Qing Dynasty. After a period of time, both sides benefited from each other. Such trade exchanges between big countries supported small countries have put the Qing Dynasty in a relatively stable environment, and at least for the past century, there was no need to worry about fighting with their neighbors.

Let’s look at the battle of the Great Alliance in Western countries, and see that they have made great wars for you to occupy me and I to occupy you, which has ruined the country’s chaos. All the ministers praised Kangxi’s “priority”.

The Tokugawa shogunate was unwilling to submit to the vassals as Yinreng expected. Yinzhen asked him curiously: "Why is the crown prince hostile to Japan?"

Others don’t know how strange Yinreng was, but Yinzhen knew the future. He told Yinreng with the future situation: “The Japanese have been peaceful for nearly a hundred years, and until before his death, they have never had any disputes with the Qing Dynasty. Due to the situation at that time, they will be peaceful for another hundred years.”

Yinreng asked him back: "Do you believe that governing the country with force can last for a long time?"

"Everything that Tokugawa Shogunate did was to maintain domestic stability. If you surrender to the Qing Dynasty, it would cause an uproar and cause unstable national conditions. Interestingly, now they have lost the stable benefits brought to them by the Qing Dynasty, and the fallen sects in the country have still strengthened their power. But whether it is the shogunate or the fallen sect, they are all samurai. My Qing Dynasty and Japan have been in business for many years, and they know Japan better than knowing the West. The Han culture is like the sea, compatible with all rivers, like warm wind and whispers, attracting admiration, admiration, and fascinated and learned. And their Bushido culture is a spike and a weapon without scabbards. You and I live for only a hundred years. What will happen in a hundred years? Can you know what kind of disasters their culture will give birth to? What impact will it have on the Qing Dynasty?"

Han culture has influenced Japan for hundreds of years since the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Even so, their country is still like this. It has reached its peak in governing the country with martial arts. Isn’t it just a kind of invasion and expansion?

Sorry, I watched too many cartoons, so I was too puzzled. Yinreng analyzed the country in depth and felt that it would not be a good thing in the future according to the current development trend.

There is a saying that when you are three years old, you can predict what kind of change tendencies this country will take to become stronger in the future. Yinreng examines it with the perspective of looking at the old age of three years old, and has great prejudice against Japan!

Yinzhen thought for a while: Anyway, the unlucky one was Japan, not the Qing court officials, and not the brothers, so let him go!

Kangxi did not take Japan to heart: "It's just Japan. If the prince doesn't like it, he will abandon it."

The prince's attitude had a great impact on the implementation of the Qing Dynasty's decree. Yinreng's rebellious period continued, which made Yinzhen feel that "this child was unreasonable when he grew up."

However, the court officials accepted this well, and Khan Ama was still indulging him. Yinzhen at most reminded him: "Don't look at Khan Ama indulging you now, I'm still a little worried. When I was in the department, I heard that Khan Ama planned to take you into a concubine in advance."

Yinreng came to his senses and suddenly shuddered: "I am not eighteen years old!"

The author has something to say: Who said we have no girlfriend until the end of the year? Kangxi said that we should be single before the Spring Festival in 2021!

ps:

Just as my country's path of socialism is a historical necessity, a choice between history and the people, it is in line with my country's actual national conditions, and the inevitable development of ideological and cultural heritage since ancient times.
