This, this, this, this...are you giving too much?
Kangxi Chang Ning was once again stunned when he heard the conditions Zhu Heji offered to Xiao Yinreng.
In the end...who is Yinreng's best friend?
General Kangxi was suspicious, but he certainly wasn't! He really has never held hands with the Hesheli family. How can this Ama be qualified? Is it possible to get pregnant even if you think about it?
And Zhu Heji now offers 200,000 silver yuan and 200,000 catties of sugar a year!
Still give it every year!
In addition, he also wanted to give Xiao Yinreng 50,000 muskets and 150 cannons at one time... This was enough to equip an army of 100,000 people!
How many people does Xiao Yinreng have on hand? It's not useful at all. Does Emperor Zhu plan to further help Yinreng expand his team?
By the way, he also wants to support Xiao Yinreng to become the Great Khan of Mongolia!
This kind of treatment is already better than that of Zhu Celing, who "Emperor Zhu planted seeds for Galdan"...Zhu Heji is the kind of good man who dares to take action!
So everyone knows that he is Zhu Celing's biological father. But even Zhu Celing didn't get so many benefits! That Zhu Celing just sealed a Yin Jiahan, and his territory is still in the new world where birds don't shit.
But Zhu Heji wanted to support Yinreng as the Mongolian Khan!
Wouldn't this Hershey be captured by Zhu Heji, who secretly sneaked into Beijing during the Burni Rebellion, and take his hand back?
When Chang Ning was thinking wildly, Emperor Zhu spoke again: "General Kangxi, it seems that you have suffered a lot in Beihai, right? There are so many patches on this robe. How bad is it that Yinreng sees it when you turn around?"
Chang Ning hurriedly replied: "As far as I'm concerned, I'm not suffering, I'm just living my life carefully."
Zhu Heji smiled and said, "Don't pretend to be fat. Let's do this. I will give you another 50,000 silver yuan for travel expenses. The poor family is rich... No matter what, you have to dress up for yourself and your entourage." Put on your clothes and go see your son in a bright and beautiful way!”
"I, Chang Ning, would like to thank the Lord for your kindness..." General Kangxi quickly knelt down and kowtowed to express his gratitude.
But in his heart, he once again confirmed that the relationship between Zhu Heji and Yinreng was extraordinary!
After rewarding Chang Ning, Zhu Heji looked at Nalan Mingzhu again, frowned and said: "Mingzhu... your son Nalan Xingde has released the chief envoy, why do you look like you have no money to use it?"
"Returning to the Holy Spirit," Nalan Mingzhu quickly explained, "Xingde is an upright official, and he travels abroad and spends a lot of money... All the veterans are living in seclusion in Beihai, so I can save as much as possible."
In fact, Nalan Mingzhu is also rich. He is involved in Beihai's sugar and fur business. It's just that he is a low-key person and doesn't like to show his wealth, so as not to cause trouble to his son Nalan Xingde.
Now Nalan Xingde’s official luck is pretty good!
Among the Manchus who had taken refuge in the Ming Dynasty, the only one who could truly serve as a high-ranking official in the court was Nalan Xingde.
As for others, such as General Kangxi, they were not court officials, but vassals.
Zhu Heji nodded and said to himself: "Nalan Xingde's official reputation is indeed good, and it seems that he is not greedy..."
"Mingzhu, this also gives you three thousand silver yuan for travel expenses." Zhu Heji said with a smile, "You are a retired official. This time you go out to do errands for me. I can't treat you badly."
"Old minister, thank you for your kindness." Mingzhu kowtowed and thought to herself: "It seems that something must have happened to Queen Xiaochengren when she was living in the Bada Hutong! It's no wonder that Kang Mazi has treated Yinreng so badly over the years."
...
After summoning Chang Ning, Mingzhu, and Cewang Alabutan, and throwing out a bunch of tempting scented bait to Xiao Yinreng, Emperor Zhu personally sent Zhuge Military Advisor to the small courtyard where he lived in the palace. Because Zhuge Military Advisor felt that he could still walk for a while, Zhu Heji asked Zhuge Military Advisor's sedan bearers to carry a soft sedan behind him, and he himself supported the elderly military advisor in the rather vast palace. , that is, walking slowly inside the original palace of Prince Qin of the Ming Dynasty. While walking, the two of them talked about family affairs, national affairs, and world affairs.
Of course, for Zhu Heji, these three things are almost the same thing now.
"Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, you and Mrs. Anu already have two sons and one daughter, right?" Zhuge Military Advisor suddenly asked about the number of children born to Zhu Heji and Anu.
"Yes, we have two sons and a daughter." When Zhu Heji mentioned this, he couldn't hide the smile on his face. "Anu is indeed a fertile person. He and Galdan have a son and a daughter." Daughter, she gave birth to two more sons and one daughter to me, making this a total of five children."
"Not enough!" Military Advisor Zhuge smiled.
"Isn't it enough?" Zhu Heji looked back at the old military advisor.
Zhuge Sanhe nodded: "We need to have more children! Your Majesty, the seven vassal kings are all kings with different surnames! Not only do they have different surnames, but they are also from different races! Since ancient times, there have been many vassal kings who have rebelled and made trouble, and among them the kings with the same surname The misfortune can be slowly resolved through the method of extending grace. This king of a foreign race with a different surname... I am not saying that they will definitely rebel, but it is best to use a king with the same surname to look at them."
Zhuge Sanhe was able to figure things out, and of course he knew that he would not live long... Of course he would have no regrets in this life. He was originally a quack magician, and he was born in the last days. He was lucky to end up on the bed of old age and death. But who would have thought that due to fate, the achievements he has now established have far exceeded that of Zhuge Kongming, who does not know whether he is his true ancestor.
Now, what makes him worried is of course the new Ming Dynasty established by him with the help of King Zhu Tian and Zhu Heji and his son.
Although Zhuge Sanhe can be regarded as one of the founders of the new Ming Dynasty... and he is also one of the founding heroes whose avatar will be on banknotes in the future! But he still doesn't quite understand what kind of country the New Ming Dynasty that he participated in creating is?
This country has too many new things, new systems, and new knowledge. Even the world in which it exists is new to old-school figures like Zhuge Sanhe.
So he didn't understand, and was a little worried. He was worried that after this generation of heroes and famous ministers passed away, the huge Celestial Empire would fall apart... The death of the First Emperor and the division of the earth might happen in the new era tomorrow. Towards the body.
Because in his opinion, the current new Ming Dynasty is too big, and it is still expanding. The degree of expansion is similar to that of the Qin Dynasty when it conquered six countries and established a unified dynasty that could rule the world. The expansion is even worse.
Fortunately, the huge celestial dynasty established by Zhu Heji was not a completely unified unified country, but a semi-centralized and semi-feudal country composed of multi-layer systems such as direct provinces, internal vassals, and external vassals.
In Zhuge Sanhe's view, such a country is somewhat similar to the Western Han Dynasty established by Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, 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 after all, the kings of the seven kingdoms of the Western Han Dynasty were all princes and kings surnamed Liu. No matter how hard they fought, the world would still be dominated by those named Liu. But now the seven lords of the new Ming Dynasty are all from different surnames and races!
Although among the outer vassals of the Ming Dynasty, there are already four vassal kings with the same surname, including 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 were all far away, and their vassal power was not very powerful. Once chaos broke out in the mainland of China, they would not be able to provide support at all.
So after much deliberation, Zhuge Sanhe had no choice but to trouble Emperor Zhu Da and Mrs. Anu to work harder and have more sons to become vassal kings with the same surname.
Zhuge Sanhe considered it and said: "Your Majesty, if we can deceive Galdan from Yeerqiang to Suiye City this time, the three territories of Kashgar, Yeerqiang, and Khotan and the obtained Galdan The tribe must never be handed over to a certain Mongolian prince again! Otherwise, the grassland and the plateau will become one... and they will have to be separated."
"What the military counselor said is absolutely true!" Zhu Heji nodded repeatedly, seeming to agree with Zhuge's military counselor's analysis. But in fact, he was not worried at all about the power of the Mongolian kings who were sealed on the grasslands and plateaus.
Because times have changed!
On the one hand, the Ming Dynasty's army has begun to replace rifled guns with fixed-loading cork bullets... The guns Zhu Heji gave to Yinreng were all old goods that had been replaced!
On the other hand, after the founding of the new Ming Dynasty, the land equalization system implemented by taking advantage of the small population and large land in the country also allowed the Ming court to control the land and population of the three capitals and twenty provinces to an unprecedented extent. It has also leveled the gap between rich and poor in society to a considerable extent, putting most people at a relatively fair starting line.
Moreover, this equality was not achieved by the new Ming court seriously infringing on private property. So it doesn’t make people afraid of getting rich…
According to Zhu Heji's experience, this kind of state where wealth is relatively average, classes are not solidified, opportunities are relatively abundant, and all kinds of resources (including capital) are very abundant in total and per capita, is simply the beginning of the chosen country. ah!
The chosen America after the Civil War was nothing more than that!
With such a good hand, even without Zhu Heji's technological golden finger, the three capitals and twenty-one provinces of the New Ming Dynasty should have been able to enter the door of industrialization in the 18th century.
Does an industrialized nation need to worry about a group of grassland people who are good at singing and dancing?
In fact, Zhu Heji's main purpose in wooing the Mongols was to create some nomadic "Yin people" to contain the United States of America!
However, Emperor Zhu Da had no problem with having more children with Anudu. He thought about it, frowned and said, "We still need two sons..."
It's not Zhu He's son, but Anuque's son!
Anu now controls the Shunyi Palace and leads various Mongolian tribes on the Hetao grassland. And Sebutenbalzhuer, the son of the nominal King Galdan of Shunyi. If Anu is asked to allocate part of the land and population under the jurisdiction of the Shunyi Palace to the son she gave birth to for Zhu Heji, it will not be difficult... As long as Sebuten Balzhuer is given corresponding compensation, such as money , salary, palace, farm and so on, everyone can always be happy.
But asking Anu to distribute her son's property to outsiders who are not related to her by blood is completely different.
"It's three!" Zhuge Sanhe whispered, "At least three... Don't you think King Shunyi's territory is too big and there are too many people? It's best to divide it into two. You can get closer to Ningxia Confessing a king with the same surname on the Hetao grassland can cut off the connection between the Shunyi Palace and Hexi, Qinghai, and Khovd. However, the Chahar-Khalkha tribes in Mobei have many conflicts with the Choros family, so there is no need to worry about their alliance. .”
Although Zhuge Sanhe's strategies were outdated, Zhu Heji still nodded repeatedly, "Commander, don't worry... I will definitely find a way. Even if Anu can't give birth to three sons, I will still You can let Bei Jiaxin's son marry Anu's daughter Zhong Qihai. What do you think about letting this kid eat Zhong Qihai's soft rice?"
"That's okay, that's okay." Zhuge Sanhe nodded repeatedly, then changed the subject again, frowning slightly, "Holy lord, did you give Yin Reng too many things and money? Do you long for Yin Reng?" Will Feng fight against Kangxi and his son?"
"Don't the military advisor have such an idea?" Zhu Heji asked with a smile.
"Hahaha..." Military Advisor Zhuge laughed "badly".
In fact, Zhu Heji had no such idea...He helped Yinreng purely out of great fatherly love! It is the love of a "civilization of a father" for his "civilization of a lost son."
In Zhu Heji's view, Yinfeng's Western Qing Dynasty was still part of Chinese civilization after all! If the Western Qing Dynasty could develop in the Western Regions and establish a Chinese branch in the Western Regions, it would have only advantages and no disadvantages for the "father country" of Ming Dynasty.
If nothing else, Xiqing can at least serve as a barrier against the Tianfang Sect's eastward advance!
For that alone, its existence is valuable.
In addition, after Kangxi entered India, he began to implement the "Five Eight Banners" system, which was to follow the route of civilized integration. What will it look like in the end? Zhu Heji didn't know for sure, but the Western Qing Dynasty, which relied on Confucianism to build its country, would probably be able to survive in the Western Regions.
From this perspective, the Western Qing Dynasty was not the son of the "Kangxi Empire", but the son of the Ming Dynasty of China.
At this time, Zhu Heji had already helped his old military advisor to the door of the courtyard where he lived, and Zhuge Sanhe's two concubines were already waiting at the door to welcome him.
Zhu Heze's face darkened, and he ordered the two concubines: "Remember, King Xingwu's disease comes from the mouth, so he must avoid eating it... with less oil and salt, as clean as possible, and seafood and Don’t even eat or drink the soup.”
Zhuge Sanhe is now suffering from the "disease of wealth"!
As he spoke, he took out a milky white porcelain bottle and handed it to one of the older women, "This is the medicine specially prepared for King Xingwu to treat the heart season. When you are sick, put a piece under your tongue."
The great military counselor's heart was not in good condition either. He had been ill several times, but fortunately he recovered on his own. But who knows what will happen next time? Fortunately, Zhu Heji had already prepared nitroglycerin in the laboratory, so he made some low-purity nitroglycerin and used it as a heart disease drug... It has been in Phase III clinical trials and seems to be of some use. .
Then Zhu Heji gave Zhuge Sanhe a similar bottle and said, "Commander, this is also a bottle of medicine for treating the heart disease. Please take it with you!"
