[Qing] If you don't work hard, you will be forced to inherit the throne

Chapter 115

Yinfeng suddenly realized: "Gu knows it!"

Nalan Xingde paused for a moment, unimaginable doubts arose in his heart, and he couldn't help asking: "What does Your Highness know?"

"I know how to get Ming Xiang to help Gu do things!" Yinfeng said as a matter of course: "Of course I do things willingly."

willingly?I'm afraid that as long as His Royal Highness orders, my father will not be willing to do any work!

But even if the emperor gave the order, his father was reluctant in his heart. He was not a relative of the prince like Suo'etu, and he even disagreed with Suo'etu's political views.Hearing that the matter was initiated by His Royal Highness, he might find an excuse to avoid it.

Nalan Xingde couldn't figure it out, he couldn't guess what kind of solution the always lively and intelligent little prince would come up with.

Yinfeng said: "It is beneficial to the Qing Dynasty to support the Buryat Mongols. If the Buryats who were enslaved by the northern barbarians can be rescued and let them submit to the Qing Dynasty and become border people, they will be able to cooperate internally and externally. Go to the territory between the cities of Yaksa and attack it back."

"Your Highness, the territory is vast. The Northern Barbarians have been operating there for a long time, forcing the locals to surrender and setting up multiple strongholds. If they want to attack them, the Qing Dynasty will have to cross the river, and the battle line will be too long. , It will be a huge war of attrition. Compared with the northern barbarians, the Qing army's cold resistance is really insufficient."

Nalan Xingde was very surprised that the little prince knew so much about the situation on the border, but as an envoy sent to inspect the situation on the border, it took him several months to understand all aspects of the situation here down.

"Among the borders, the local ethnic groups are the most suitable to live in this place. Whether it is the original army of the Qing Dynasty or the army of the Northern Man, they are all outsiders in this land. The locals are just scared of being beaten. They are used to being enslaved, and the Buryats are the best breakthrough, their people refused to obey, and fled all the way to Longxingjiang City, becoming one of the newly immigrated ethnic groups in Longxingjiang City."

"Since the time of the first emperor, the northern barbarians have begun to invade here. The local subjects living in Longxingjiang City, under the rule of the Great Qing Dynasty to win over and divide and rule, weave flags and fight against aggression, including migration. Buryats."

"Furthermore, because of the war, the people on the border migrated south on a large scale, but there are fewer and fewer people in the border area. This is also a hidden danger. Yaksa City was attacked because of this, because the garrison was weak at that time."

"For border garrison and management, Khan Ama has already arranged for this east tour," Yinfeng still remembers Kangxi's decree until now. They all carried him, and when they read the memorial, they also took him with them.

"About what you said, Khan Ama has already taken measures, and considering that there is only Ninggu Pagoda on the border, which is an important place for the army, Khan Ama ordered the general to go to Aihui for reclamation and build a city. If the city wall is successfully built, The integration of logistics and Longxingjiang City will make the border area a new, northernmost military important area. After that, other important military areas will be arranged, such as Morgan, Buhat, Bukui City, etc. "

Once the border army's important town defenses are built, defending the frontier will not be a problem.

"What I want to say is that during the war, the Qing army needed logistical supplies, so the enemy needed them too. The northern barbarians are not gods, they also have to eat and drink. Fighting in cold weather, they eat much more than the common people If you can win over the tribes who disobeyed the northern barbarians to cooperate with the Qing army, you can quietly go around the enemy's rear, cut off reinforcements and supplies, and destroy their granaries. Of course, Gu is not a general after all, what he sees and sees Wen is still not as far-reaching as the adults. I came to Rong Ruo at this time to ask you if this is feasible. If it is done, will it be beneficial to the war? Can it make the loss of the Qing Dynasty smaller and the enemy The losses are greater, and can we push the front line forward and drive the enemy out of the aggressive area?"

Nalan Xingde listened very seriously. The 27-year-old young man is just eager to make contributions. As a famous person in the Kangxi imperial court, he has a friendship with the emperor and a "young monarch and minister" (1). Qian, when talking about the border war, there is a fire burning in my heart.

He was born in a noble family, and he has no interest in glory, wealth, fame and fortune, but that is because he is not interested in things outside his body, and the interests of the country are a high level of spiritual sublimation!

Now Yinreng doesn't talk about power and wealth with him, but only talks about important national affairs, and Nalan Xingde is serious with his serious appearance.

"Let's talk about the recovery of the lost land to the old ministers. The old ministers will analyze a bunch of reasons to persuade Khan Ama. There are also ministers in the court who say, 'It is difficult to survive in a bitter and cold land. It is better to abandon it and move to the city wall. "Strengthen the city's defense", Gu can't listen to these things. Since the Qing Dynasty has the strength to fight, why didn't it fight. Do you think what these old ministers said is reasonable? Of course it is reasonable, but they have so many concerns and have no motivation at all. I miscalculated Khan Ama. Khan Ama is not a successful king who is content with the status quo. If there is a possibility to expand the territory, he will not let it go. It is just that he was dragged down by the internal and external troubles of the Qing Dynasty. Anyway. The child is self-willed, and no one takes Gu seriously when he speaks. Anyway, Gu does not want to see the slightest part of his own territory being plundered by others. From Yaksa to Nerchinsk, and then to the shore of Lake Baikal, there used to be It was under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, so why give it to others? I didn’t free up my hands to deal with them before, and they were pinched as clay figurines. Now that I have the means to fight back, I have to beat them back.”

Yinfeng was the one who fought vigorously: "That large area called 'bitter cold' and 'barren land' by the veterans has rich mineral deposits underneath, and the energy in it is related to the interests of our children and grandchildren for more than a hundred years. If you can say give up, just give up? Don’t ask Gu how he knows, anyway, Gu knows this.”

Nalan Xingde couldn't help laughing: "Your Highness, this humble minister is also the main one."

As for the representative of the Zhuhe faction, that is Suo'etu, your third grandfather!

Nalan Xingde couldn't say that Suo'etu was bad in front of Yinreng, so he told Yinreng tactfully: "If Your Highness wants to lead the battle, you might as well ask Prime Minister Suo if he can help you?"

Yinfeng complained in a low voice: "Khan Ama has to rob people with Gu, what can Gu do, and Gu is helpless."

Nalan Xingde pondered: "Actually, if Your Highness informs the emperor about this matter, the emperor only needs to give an order, and maybe he can send father to do things."

Just like the oolong of raising geese last time, for the sake of the elder brother, the father "begged for perfection", but was praised by the people among the people, but the father himself felt that he was "bearing the burden of humiliation".

Mentioning the reputation of the goose face, Nalan Xingde couldn't help but want to arouse a smile on his lips. This matter is so joyful. Although it made his father lose face, he suddenly gained a good reputation among the people.He made friends with Jiangnan commoners (2), respected their talents, and was happy to support them.Many of them were from poor families. With his sponsorship, they were admitted to Juren, and their friends and friends had a good relationship with him. When they mentioned the improvement of the life of the people in their hometown by the Pearl Goose Raising Method, they were grateful to their father from the bottom of their hearts.

Only his father complained to him, saying that the elder brother was bewitched by the prince, and he was also deceived by the prince.

Nalan Xingde is upright and has his own set of judgment standards. Regarding the old father's complaints, he tactfully comforted Nalan Mingzhu: "Father has a good reputation among the people, which is also good for the family." Such a delicate and elegant little prince is not the kind of person who can deceive people and play tricks. On the contrary, he does everything in an aboveboard manner.

Nalan Mingzhu stopped talking, since this matter will not be changed, he can only hold his nose to admit it.

At this moment, the upright young man didn't realize that he was "harming" his father at all, and followed Yinfeng's train of thought seriously, thinking about the country's major affairs, and finally said to Yinfeng: "Indeed, my father is good at strategy. To win over people, it is very appropriate to send him there, if this can be done, as His Highness said, it will be of great help to the border war."

In this way, the father can still make contributions. I am afraid that the father's status in the court can only be rewarded lightly, but he can earn a good future for the younger brothers. This wave is not a loss.It is beneficial to the state affairs and the family, so Nalan Xingde immediately looked up to Yinfeng.

"His Royal Highness has the whole of the Qing Dynasty in his heart, and I admire it." He pretends to be the country in his heart, and he emphasizes national interests rather than private interests. From the starting point, Nalan Xingde can see the grandeur of his future life.

Not sticking to small fights, not appointing people based on the status of the courtiers and personal likes and dislikes, this already possesses the quality of a wise ruler.

and many more……

It seems that His Royal Highness said that he likes his father.

Nalan Xingde got stuck in his head, and suddenly woke up from the state of thinking too much just now. He looked at Yinfeng again, and saw His Royal Highness looking at him expectantly: "Gu promises to Khan!" Ma doesn't do big things. Gu can't get involved in national wars. How about Rong Ruopo who can help Gu to play for Khan Ama? Besides, Gu is still young, and no one listens to what he says, and they don't take Gu seriously. "

Yinfeng described himself as a little pitiful, although the root cause of this weakness was Kangxi's warning, he was afraid that he would be spanked by Khan Ama four days later.

But Nalan Xingde didn't know!

He thought about the age of His Highness the Crown Prince, and then thought of Suo Etu being transferred away from His Highness, but who are all around His Highness now?

His father, and Tong Guowei!

Neither of these two people can be dispatched by His Royal Highness, and which one does not have a conflict of interest with Suo'etu?

As long as you think about it carefully, you can understand His Highness's "difficulty".Whether the emperor's arrangement was intentional or unintentional is really thought-provoking.

Nalan Xingde Wuwu is a person with rich emotions and delicate thoughts. Now thinking of His Highness the Crown Prince still eager to do something for the border war in a difficult situation, this heart moved him, and he wanted to help his The mind is more intense.

"It is true that the minister came here to inspect the border situation for the emperor, but to play such an important event can only attract the attention of the emperor, but not the attention of other courtiers," Nalan Xingde was very straightforward when talking about himself. Young and talented, he has face in front of the emperor, but he is not experienced enough in the court, and his words are too light.

"However, I can recommend someone for you, or find this person for you, and ask him to play the emperor instead of you."

Yinfeng asked curiously, "Who are you looking for?"

"Zhou Peigong, an important minister who once served as the emperor's military adviser and helped him put down the rebellion with extraordinary plans."

"My lord Zhou, he has always longed to be reused by the emperor again, but because there is no war, he is unable to use his fists. Even the position of admiral in Shengjing accidentally fell on him because his predecessor died in office. "

"It's ok, but can Rong Ruo not tell others what Shigu said about this matter?" Yinfeng said embarrassedly: "In case Khan Ama is not happy at that time."

If you are unhappy, you will either beat the child, or separate your brother, brother, and grandfather from him, and be the queen mother who broke up the Cowherd and Weaver Girl, which is too bad.

Nalan Xingde: His Highness the Crown Prince is sensitive and delicate. He is able to worry about the emperor's feelings at such a young age. It is really distressing to be so careful.It is said that the father and son of the Tian family, the emperor is a hero with great ambitions, and the prince is not yet old enough to govern, so he really can't be too active.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will not betray your trust. I will leave this matter to my minister to persuade Lord Zhou to play the Emperor Ming. If Lord Zhou recommends my father to do it, Your Highness has nothing to do with this matter."

About Nalanxingde Baidu Encyclopedia

The word "Long Lovesickness": "A journey through the mountains, a journey through the water" entrusts the farewell love of relatives to see them off; Xiao Xiao's heroic feelings; "Thousands of lamps in the middle of the night" gave birth to the strong and strong feelings of "the lonely smoke in the desert, the sun falling into the long river".This triple jump of emotion not only reflects the poet's deep attachment to his hometown, but also reflects his ambition to make contributions.A young man in his twenties, born in a wealthy and scholarly family, with the superior status of the emperor's personal bodyguard, naturally has a broad vision and extraordinary insights, and his ambition to make contributions will be stronger than others.But it is precisely because of this special identity that he has a reserved and introverted character. He can't speak directly when he has something to say, so he has to use the method of affection for children to reflect his complicated inner world in a twists and turns.This is also an important reason for his untimely death.

Nalan Xingde made friends with "all of them are handsome and different at one time, and they are called "unsuitable and difficult to get along with" in the world. These people who refused to be vulgar were mostly ordinary literati in the south of the Yangtze River, such as Gu Zhenguan, Yan Shengsun, Zhu Yizun, Chen Weisong, Jiang Chenying and so on.Nalan Xingde was extremely sincere to his friends. He not only generously donated money, but also respected their character and talent, just like "Pingyuan Jun eats three thousand". (Neien Boting, the former residence of Soong Ching Ling) is famous for the gathering of too many imperial literati of Kangxi.
