Because the two sons were very filial and agreed to help Kangxi fight against the Qing Dynasty and seize the direct descendants, Emperor Kang Mazi was in a slightly better mood today and left the South Study Room humming a little tune.
After leaving the South Study Room, Emperor Kang Mazi got on the chariot made in India. This chariot was carried by four big black eunuchs, and he walked very fast. Next to the chariot, there were a group of May Eighth Banner guards wearing yellow mandarin jackets and many beautiful palace maids with high noses, big eyes, and graceful figures, following them slowly on bicycles. A large group of people headed towards Kunning Palace where Sofia lived.
When Kangxi arrived at Kunning Palace, Sofia was waving her fan in the courtyard and talking to Yin? She was not talking about big things, but was concerned about Yin?'s homework. A few days ago, Yin? went to Mutan'er to pick up someone. The trip was 1,200 miles, and the journey took 20 to 30 days! How much homework will this delay? We must make up for it, otherwise how can we lead India, a world power, in the future?
Sofia always spoke in a loud voice, and Kang Mazi could hear her lecturing his son from a distance.
The "Strong Queen" of Great Mongolia and Kangxi have always been "respectful as guests"... but there is no such thing as a husband being the wife, and the king being the minister. Therefore, Kangxi did not need to announce his arrival at Kunning Palace, and Sofia would not go to the gate or courtyard to greet him.
But when Sofia was walking to the Qianqing Palace where Kangxi lived, those eunuchs brought by Kang Mazi from China knew about it, and they would ride their bicycles to report the news!
This is for the health of Queen Sofia. It is better not to let her see some things, so as not to get angry... And in order to legitimately equip these eunuchs with bicycles, Kang Mazi also came up with a rather high-sounding idea. The reason - this is all to develop manufacturing in India!
Don't underestimate this little bicycle. It's not easy to make it light, flexible and durable! This is no less difficult than producing electric cars in the 21st century. Moreover, manufacturing and repairing bicycles can also cultivate a group of skilled craftsmen who are good at manufacturing and repairing machines, which can greatly promote the manufacturing and design of other mechanical equipment.
Emperor Kang Mazi, who had one eye on the Ming Dynasty and one eye on Europe, of course discovered that India's handicraft industry relied too much on handwork, and the demand for machines had always been kept to a minimum. In the Ming Dynasty and Europe, various water conservancy machinery, mining machinery and textile machinery have developed extremely rapidly in recent years!
Some people even proposed the idea of using the heat generated by boiling water to drive machinery... And after studying the articles written by some skilled craftsmen in England translated by Ji Dabao, Kang Mazi actually felt that this idea was completely possible!
Of course Kang Mazi was not worried that his Mongolian country would not be able to buy such advanced machines, but he found that his "Made in India" did not rely on machinery at all. They only needed to use the simplest machinery combined with abundant and cheap labor. You can make cheap and good things.
And when Kang Mazi discovered that Emperor Zhu of the Ming Dynasty had placed a heavy bet on that "steam engine", he decided to follow suit!
Kang Mazi has been studying "Zhu Devil" for many years. Does he know where the "devil" of this "devil" is? If this "devil" is determined to do something big, nine times out of ten he will succeed!
Therefore, "crossing the river by feeling the red scarlet devil" is always correct.
But he couldn't force the Asan factory owners below to use expensive and unreliable machinery instead of using cheap and large-volume labor. In today's Ming Dynasty and Europe, scarcity is the most valuable thing. Once industry and commerce develop, there will of course be a market for labor-saving machinery. But India is the most populous place in the world, so there is no need to save labor.
Therefore, Kang Mazi could only accumulate the ability to manufacture and repair machinery by encouraging the bicycle industry. As long as you have this ability, when you really need it in the future, you can go out and fight...
It has to be said that in the face of huge pressure from the east and west and an extremely complicated internal situation, Kang Mazi, who was re-employed in India, really took it seriously! Not only thinking about immediate problems, but also thinking about the distant future.
If he had to use this energy to govern China, he might really be a holy lord!
And this wise emperor Kang Mazi, who was able to think about the future of Great Mongolia, certainly also knew the importance of maintaining and developing the special relationship with the Rakshasa Kingdom.
In Kang Mazi's view, the importance of "Mongolian-Maoist friendship" is much higher than "Mongolian-French friendship", "Mongolian-Spanish friendship", "Mongolian-British friendship" and "Mongolian-Dutch friendship"!
Because only by maintaining the relationship with Rakshasa, the Kazakh grassland can be stable, the Hezhong region can sit back and relax, and Mongolia can withstand the pressure of the Ming Empire at the front of Suiye Mansion!
Moreover, Kangxi has already begun to arrange for "the princes to seize the legitimate sons", and Yinreng is very likely to jump over the wall in a hurry, and even "lead Zhu into the house". Therefore, Kangxi also needed Peter's support very much to help Mongolia preserve the territory of Kazakhstan and Hezhong in the future "battle of quelling chaos or peace".
As long as Great Mongolia can keep the two sources of troops in Hezhong and Kazakhstan, it should be able to maintain the overall situation.
Of course, Kang Mazi also doesn’t want the Rakshasa Kingdom to become too powerful... A Rakshasa that is too powerful is also a threat to Mongolia, and it’s not a small one!
In addition, Kang Mazi also knew that none of the Western allies had any good intentions towards Mongolia.
They even treat Rakshasa as their slaves, but how can they treat Great Mongolia as their true friends? The current friendship with Mongolia is just because there is the Ottoman Empire standing in the middle as the villain, and there is also the Ming Dynasty, which is ten times more difficult to deal with than the Ottomans, acting as the devil far away in the east.
Once France - the Frank Empire really overthrows the Ottoman Empire, Louis or Louis' heirs may join forces with the Ming Dynasty to carve up Mongolia!
Does Emperor Kang Mazi still know the trick of making friends from far away and attacking at close range? He has not only read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "The Romance of the Gods", but also is familiar with "The Twenty-Four Histories"!
Moreover, Kang Mazi also knew very well that the internal problems of the Great Mongolia he established were many and complex...it was basically a hodgepodge. He was good at tying all aspects together while he was still alive. If he wanted to one day It's no longer there, I really don't know if it will fall apart immediately.
The key to maintaining the Great Mongolia is to combine the military resources from Hezhong and Kazakhstan with the wealth of India. Only with money and soldiers can we have the Great Mongol Empire!
Therefore, capturing Yin Reng, who has ulterior motives, is the key to the long-term stability of the country!
And Rakshasa can play an important role in taking down Yinreng...
So along the way, Kang Mazi was thinking about how to use Peter I to take down Yin Reng, and how to protect the Kazakh grassland and the territory in the river when Yin Rong was in trouble... It wasn't until he heard Sofia scolding Yin Reng that he took back his thoughts. , then got off the chariot with a smile and strolled towards the Kunning Palace.
Seeing Kangxi come in, Sofia stopped scolding her son. Mother and son stood up together to meet Kang Mazi. Then Sofia sent Yin? to do his homework, and she took Kangxi's "little hand" and walked into the main hall together.
The couple sat down on two thrones placed side by side. There was a book table in front of the throne, with a letter spread out on it. Kang Mazi glanced at it and found that it was written in French. Kangxi didn't know French very well, but he still recognized the words "My dearest Sofia Alexeyevna" written on the letterhead... Needless to say, what can I call her? The only person in Sofia was Peter I. He looked at the end of the letter again, and sure enough it read "Your little Peter."
In fact, the siblings were not on good terms at first, and Sofia was even a little hostile to Peter. But since Sofia married Kangxi, the conflicts between her and Peter disappeared, and there were huge common interests, so the relationship became closer and closer.
"Why is Peter's letter written in French?" Kangxi asked with a frown.
"Your Majesty," Sofia replied, "It is now fashionable for nobles all over Europe to speak French. Anyone who cannot speak French will be considered a bumpkin."
"Hey," Kangxi said with a smile, "Everyone thinks Peter is a country bumpkin no matter what he says! Unless...he can make a name for himself on the battlefield!"
This time Kangxi was wrong. Even if the Rakshasa invaded Paris, they would still be country bumpkins.
Sofia smiled: "Peter said in the letter that he had led an army to attack Azov, and he would definitely win this time... In fact, he had already defeated the Crimean Khanate. Cavalry, and surrounded the Azov Fortress, victory is just around the corner."
The Rakshasa Kingdom is now a member of "NATO", so they have to obey the orders of Louis the Great to attack the Ottoman Empire. In 1695, Peter sent troops to attack the Azov Fortress - it was a fortress set up by the Ottoman Empire on the coast of the Sea of Azov. It was very strong and could be supported by the cavalry of the Crimean Khanate, so Peter's The attack failed. But he did not give up. After receiving assistance from the Great Mongol Empire, Peter I made a comeback in May 1696. Moreover, Peter also dispatched the newly formed Azov Sea Navy and Rakshasa Eight Banners Soldiers!
This Rakshasa Eight Banners Soldier is quite powerful. It is equipped with the same rocket launchers and candy bombs as the three Eight Banners Soldiers of Qing, Mongolia and Confucian Mongolia. Its members are all small nobles or free people, and they are also composed of Mongolian and Mongolian soldiers. Frank is responsible for the training together with his instructors. The latter is very good at cooperating with rocket launchers and cavalry, so it can help the cavalry of the Rakshasa Eight Banners easily defeat the cavalry of the Crimean Khanate.
Without the help of the Crimean Khanate's cavalry, the Ottoman Empire's army could only retreat to the Azov Fortress. At the same time, the Ottoman Empire's navy was expelled by Peter's Azov Sea Fleet and was unable to support the Azov Fortress.
So Peter’s victory is indeed just around the corner!
Once Peter wins, he can vigorously promote domestic reforms.
And what route the Rakshasa reforms will take will determine what kind of relationship this country can maintain with Great Mongolia in the future?
Thinking of this, Kangxi said to Sofia: "Sofia, you have to help me go to Rakshasa!"
"A trip to Rakshasa?" Sofia was stunned and asked reluctantly, "What are you going to do? Rakshasa is so far away..."
Kangxi lowered his voice and said: "Sofia, if you don't want Yin Reng to bully our Yin Rong in the future, you have to work harder and go this way!"
Sofia's eyes widened: "What? Are you finally going to deal with that traitor?"
Kangxi looked at Sofia's excited face and frowned: "I was forced too... If I don't deal with him, he will deal with me!"
"Is it that serious?" Sofia asked.
Kangxi sighed: "Sofia, don't forget...he is the Tongzhi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty! Many people in the three Eight Banners of Qing, Mongolia and Confucianism still regard him as the emperor!"
Sofia nodded: "Legal speaking, he is indeed the emperor!"
Kangxi said: "So I can't wait any longer! Sofia, I have already begun to lay out a dragnet to capture him... The eldest and fourth eldest will soon be appointed as the banner princes, and they will also go to Beijing Mansion and The Summer Resort is in charge. The third and fifth sons will also be named flag masters soon!"
"But aren't the third elder brother and the fifth elder brother from Yinreng?"
"But they are also my sons!" Kangxi said with a smile, "I can make them flag masters, and I can also give them money, beauties, and territory... What can Yinreng give? He has everything. Can’t give it!”
"If I win over the third elder brother and the fifth elder brother, can I..." Sofia didn't pretend at all, and directly asked Kangxi when he would take action?
"Not yet," Kangxi shook his head, "We have to wait for that scourge Kong Shenggong to die of illness! It's almost time. This scourge has been sick for a few days and is about to die!"
In fact, Kong Shenggong was not very capable, but Kangxi was very afraid of him because Confucianism was too permeable, and there were a large number of Confucian disciples in the Mongol Dynasty. Recently, a more difficult Green Gang has emerged... Can Kang Mazi ignore this Kong Shenggong and attack Yinreng?
Kangxi paused and then said: "And now the Sixth Elder Brother, the Seventh Elder Brother, and the Eighth Elder Brother are all in junior high schools. If we wait a few more years, when they are older, I can seal out more banner leaders. The time is ripe to deal with the second child.
In addition, to deal with the second child, Peter needs a helping hand! I am helping him reform now in exchange for his help when I deal with the second child... Sofia, do you think this can work? "
In fact, Kangxi's reform for Peter was not all to deal with Yin Reng... He also needed to use Confucian people to infiltrate Rakshasa, and this required Rakshasa to adopt the Great Mongolian reform version.
If Rakshasa adopts Frank's version of reforms and becomes completely Westernized, then this country will be infiltrated by the Franks and will easily become the enemy of Mongolia in the future!
Once Great Mongolia becomes an enemy of Rakshasa, then Great Mongolia will be attacked from both sides in Kazakhstan and Hezhong.
"Okay!" Sofia nodded, then frowned, "But how should I help Peter reform?"
Kangxi smiled and took out a notebook and handed it to Sofia, "I have written all the methods on it. See if it works."
Sofia was a politician herself, so of course she could tell the difference between good and bad, so she took the small book handed by Kangxi and read it for a while before her thick eyebrows knitted together. She raised her head and looked at her husband and asked doubtfully: "Your Majesty, why does the reform plan you provided Peter look like the Ming Dynasty?"
