After listening to Sofia's question, Kangxi Khan replied with a wry smile: "Sofia, in fact, the Ming version, the Qing version, and the Mongol version all have the same origin. Fundamentally speaking, they are all the same as those of the previous Ming Dynasty. , or to be more precise, they are all the Confucian set. If you dig deeper, it is the set handed down from the Western Zhou Dynasty that has been constantly revised and modified. Zhu Heji made it based on the version handed down from the Ming Dynasty. Drastic reforms gave rise to today's New Ming System. And I reformed the Qing system that originated from the previous Ming Dynasty with reference to the New Ming System, and only then did we have the current Five Eight Banners system in Greater Mongolia."
While looking at the reference plan provided by Kangxi Khan to Peter I, Sofia asked in a low voice: "Since the New Ming System and the May Eight Banner System have the same source, why doesn't Your Majesty suggest that Rakshasa carry out reforms based on the May Eight Banner System?"
Kangxi shook his head and said: "Great Mongolia has its own special national conditions, which are different from Rakshasa and the Ming Dynasty. My Great Mongolia and the previous Qing Dynasty actually stood out from the crowd, a bit...a bit The situation of the Spanish in the New World is even worse. After all, the Han and Indians are not comparable to the Indians! So we must beware of internal changes."
Kangxi, who had been emperor for more than thirty years, now fully understood. The Confucian system originated from the Western Zhou Dynasty, and from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Qin and Han Dynasties, Chinese civilization has been expanding on the East Asian continent, almost occupying the best land in East Asia... Such a good land, even if Two or three thousand years ago, it was impossible to be truly "ownerless". Therefore, the system of the Western Zhou Dynasty originally had elements of colonial development. The Xia monarchs and barbarians, the Chinese and savages, and the organizational system with blood clans as the core were all passed down from that time.
The Eight Banners system of the Qing Dynasty was actually a reverse operation, creating "Yi Jun Xia Min". However, since the Manchus were not facing scattered Yi people, Rong tribes or Xiaofang Kingdom, but a giant nation with a long history, brilliant culture and huge population, it was difficult to deal with it... Maybe it’s not that he is unsage, but that the Qing Dynasty has its own national conditions!
The Five Eight Banners created by Kang Mazi learned from the lesson that the basic base of the Eight Banners system was too small, and turned the Eight Banners into the Forty Banners. The number of their neighbors increased to more than 2,000, and the number of banner households exceeded 2,000. Six hundred thousand, and the population has reached more than three million. This strength is much stronger than the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty back then!
If he can twist the May 8th Banner into a ball and increase the population to more than 10 million, then the country of Mongolia will be stable!
Kangxi continued: "The Rakshasa and the current Ming Dynasty are all governed by their own clan. Of course, they must pursue the same goal as much as possible, with the same desire and the same virtue. If it can be equalized, it is best to be more even. If the Rakshasa nobles cannot even control their own country, If they don't even bother to speak Rakshasa, but are proud to speak French, then will they still regard their own people as their own? How to proceed? Isn't it necessary to isolate the superior and the inferior, creating a situation where the few are the only ones? ?”
Kang Mazi has suffered enough from being a minority! If he were the emperor of the Han people, no matter how hard Zhu Heji tried, he would not be able to overthrow the Qing Dynasty... or even not at all! So when he learned that some Rakshasa nobles were proud to speak French, he immediately thought of the nobles of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty.
If the big bosses in the Rakshasa Kingdom pretend to be French and speak French, and the poor people below act as serfs and speak Rakshasa language, can the Romanov dynasty be stable?
Sofia was originally a "Western European fan", but now that she has become a big tycoon in the "Three Brother Country", her confidence has increased - most of the Frankish aristocrats have a glamorous appearance, and most of their families have a mere one million yuan. They couldn't even afford silver rupees... Their daughters were only given to Yin? as the royal mistress.
Thinking of this, Sofia said to Kangxi: "I understand, after I arrive in the Rakshasa Kingdom, I will definitely let Peter learn more from the Ming Dynasty."
Kangxi nodded: "But Rakshasa cannot copy the Ming system. After all, the current Ming Dynasty was created by Zhu Heji and ordinary coastal scoundrels. Those people have no industry on the land. No matter how equal the land is, it belongs to everyone else." fields. And the backbone of those scoundrels were originally pirates and merchants, who focused on industry and commerce and ignored agriculture. That’s why the new Ming Dynasty was able to develop industry, commerce and maritime trade... This is not only incomparable to Mongolia, but even The Rakshasa Kingdom is incomparable. Although the Rakshasa Kingdom is large, it occupies a large piece of rotten land! Therefore, when it comes to reforms involving serfs and land, it is best to start with the newly conquered land near the Black Sea. If conditions permit, you can also start with the newly conquered land near the Black Sea. Build a city of Nanjing in this place as the base of Rakshasa Kingdom’s industry, commerce and maritime trade.”
Sofia listened to Kangxi's suggestion and nodded repeatedly: "The land along the Black Sea and South Rakshasa has been better than the land around Moscow in the north since ancient times. In the past, when the Eastern Roman Empire was still prosperous, it was the colony and granary of Eastern Rome... ....But now that Constantinople is in the hands of the Ottoman Empire, the outlet of the Black Sea is locked. The route to Central Europe via the Danube River is also difficult to pass because the mouth of the river is controlled by the Ottomans. And build a new The investment in the capital is also astronomical!”
Kangxi patted his chest and said with a smile: "I hold all these things... I will leave a way for Osman to survive, and Osman will naturally leave a way for Rakshasa to survive! Only in this way can everyone have a job!"
As for the investment in building a new capital, I can contribute part of it... Sofia, I won't let you leave empty-handed. But this investment must pay off. Peter must leave some of this good land in Rakshasa Nanjing City for me.
In addition, my Indian bank also needs to open a branch in Rakshasa Nanjing, so I have to worry about Peter taking care of it. "
Kangxi had experienced so much that he had already become more skilled than a monkey. Of course he would not be attracted by the wasteland on the edge of the Persian Gulf to help Louis destroy the Ottoman Empire. With the Ottoman Empire at the front, Louis is an ally, Peter is a relative, and the great devil Zhu... In order to maintain the lifeline of the Ottoman Empire, they will not send troops to start a war with Mongolia.
And once the Ottoman Empire fell. The balance that was finally formed will be broken, and your loved ones and friends may not be able to rely on you! Devil Zhu is even more unreliable!
...
At the same time, the good sons of Emperor Kangxi, the unambitious Yinzhen and the indifferent Yinzhen, were riding bicycles together on a rammed earth official road outside the Forbidden City in Nanjing... The two brothers were riding to Nanjing. Pingtian Fucheng. The Prince's Palace of Zhijun in Yinti is located in Pingtianfu City - Pingtianfu City is the original city of Lahore. It is one of the capitals of the Mughal Dynasty. It is magnificent and magnificent, and it can be ranked high in the world today, comparable to Kang Mazi later had the bastion-style Forbidden City built, which was much more prosperous.
Therefore, many Mongolian dignitaries built their houses in the fortress-style Forbidden City (this Forbidden City is not just a palace, but a castle with official residential areas and court offices) and Pingtianfu City in Nanjing.
When Yinti left Nanjing, Kang Mazi's fortress-style Forbidden City had not yet been completed, so his Zhijun Palace was in Pingtianfu City. When the two brothers came out of the south study room today, the eldest brother Yinzhen proposed to treat his good brother Yinzhen to an authentic French meal at his house to express his gratitude to Yinzhen for traveling hundreds of miles away. Tan'er welcomed his thanks.
Facing the eldest brother's invitation, Yinzhen, who always valued sibling affection, would certainly not refuse, so he went back to his house with Yinzhen first, and then asked Wu Sidao to accompany him.
Both brothers Yinzhen and Yinzhen like to follow the fashion, so they go out on bicycles. Wu Sidao and a group of guards followed behind on Indian folded horses... I don't know whether the Indian-made bicycles ridden by the two brothers Yinzhen and Yinzhen were too fast, or whether Wu Sidao and their folded horses were actually too fast. They were all lame horses. In short, soon after the group left the Forbidden City, the rider left the horse behind.
At this time, the two brothers could finally talk in private.
"Fourth Brother, what's going on with this Youth Gang? Did the Second Brother deliberately set it up to go against Ama?"
The eldest brother Yinti asked his good brother about the Green Gang... He had heard about it when he was in Versailles. The Green Gang is everywhere!
Yinzhen smiled: "Brother, this Qinggang is a Confucian who is illiterate or less literate. Among the three Eight Banners of Qing, Mongolian and Confucian, those who read the most are Confucian children. I don't read Anyone who has passed some degree is a disciple of the Qinggang. As for whether the Qinggang was created by the second brother, I don’t know very well."
Yinti asked again: "Fourth, according to you, there are also people from the Qing Gang in Pingtian Mansion, Nanjing? There are also white and red flags in the Qingba Banner that Ama gave us... A disciple of the Youth Gang?"
"Of course!" Yinzhen smiled bitterly, "otherwise, why would Ama be so afraid of the second child?"
"Then we two..."
Yinzhen sighed: "On one side is our Ama, on the other side are our brothers and sisters... Brother, this matter is really difficult for the two of us!"
Yinti nodded: "It's indeed difficult...Why does Ama always give us two problems?" He paused, then lowered his voice: "Fourth child, you said that the second child must be very well-informed. Bar?"
Yinzhen sighed again: "Of course! He will know about the big events happening in Nanjing in less than twenty days!"
Yinti asked again tentatively: "Will something happen on the fourth day of June in the ninth year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty?"
Yinzhen just shook his head, noncommittal.
The two brothers were speechless all the way, pedaling towards Lahar City on their bicycles.
...
Yinzhen is right about one thing. The second elder brother Yinzhen is very well-informed. The appointment of the eldest elder brother Yinzhen and the fourth elder brother Yinzhen as the leaders of the Zhengbai and Zhenghong flags of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty has not yet been official. Announce it, he already knows it!
At the same time, the news reached Kaitianfu in Beijing that Queen Sofia left Pingtianfu in Nanjing for the Rakshasa Kingdom, carrying a large sum of silver rupees and being escorted by Cossack mercenaries and Turghut cavalry.
"Big Dragon Head, it seems that the Great Khan wants to support some elder brothers to deal with you... In addition, Queen Sofia also brought a large sum of money to the Rakshasa Kingdom. It seems that she wants to unite with the Rakshasa Kingdom. Let’s deal with you, Da Longtou, together.”
In a spacious and bright hall, where the statue of Guan Er Ye is enshrined, he is wearing a green cloth gown with a black cloth belt, a pair of cloth shoes, a faucet stick in his left hand, a paper fan in his right hand, and a bald head without a hat. Emperor Tongzhi Yinreng of the Qing Dynasty, who showed his newly shaved bald forehead and a big braid, was listening to a very handsome young man in his twenties and fives who was dressed similar to him and reported the news he had just received.
This young man’s surname is Zhang, his given name is Tingyu, and his courtesy name is Hengchen!
It was Zhang Tingyu, a famous prime minister in history. His father Zhang Ying was a Confucian elder, and he was a Qinggang elder. Both father and son are elders, and no one can compare with this future!
However, the Qinggang is not a semicolon of Confucianism, let alone a youth organization of Confucianism, but a gang organization parallel to Confucianism... Confucianism takes the upper-class route, while the Qinggang takes the lower-class route. .
Because there were more people in the lower class than in the upper class, and because after Kangxi moved westward, the children of the May Eighth Banner basically did not take part in the imperial examinations, and there were no Confucian imperial examinations to take, so Confucianism inevitably declined. Under such circumstances, it was just the right time for the Youth Gang to rise.
And the emergence of this Qing Gang... is really a bit mysterious. In fact, it was not started by Yin Reng, but by three Ming Dynasty businessmen who came to the Western Qing Dynasty to trade and had aspirations for the Qing Dynasty. The backgrounds of these three businessmen are very mysterious. No one knows their names. People in the Green Gang only call them "Boss Huang", "Mr. Du" and "Brother Zhang".
Emperor Yinreng joined the Qing Gang after it rose up. But his identity is obvious, so of course he can't be a disciple, so I got you a dragon head that can reach heaven in one step.
Of course, the big leader Yin Reng is certainly not empty-handed, but has real power. It's just that the financial power of the Qing Gang is always in the hands of those three Ming Dynasty businessmen...
This Yinreng is really quite strong. On the basic base alone, there are more than 300 Zuolin and Horqin Mongolians from the Ruba Banner, as well as some of the Junggar Mongolian troops brought by Galdan, and the Kazakhs and Fei on the grassland. The Tianfang believers in the Ergana Basin were also ruled by him. If we really work hard to mobilize, we can pull up an army of 100,000 or 200,000!
But his weakness is also obvious... he is poor!
The more than 300 Confucian Eight Banners who followed him did not pay taxes to him, and the Horqin Mongolia and Junggar Mongols certainly did not pay taxes to him. The Kazakhs could only pay him some cattle, sheep, and horses. The only ones who can pay him food and taxes are the Tianfang believers in the Fergana Basin.
But the Fergana Basin is only a tiny bit big, how much tax can it collect? How much food can it take? Therefore, Yinreng's Xiqing has no ability to be self-sufficient at all. To maintain it, it can only rely on money from his father - this can be regarded as chewing on the old, right?
However, the relationship between Yinreng and Kangxi is not good, so it is not enough to rely on only Kang's father. He has to ask for money from Zhu's father in the east, so that he can barely survive until now... But now Kang's father seems to be unreliable. Okay, from now on, can Yinreng still be able to survive just by relying on Father Zhu?
