Chapter 228
"You have changed, fourth child, you were not like this before," Yinfeng was not satisfied with easily "breaking" the fourth child's heart.
Yinzhen rolled his eyes at him, his eyes understood by himself, as if saying: You have something wrong!
Yinfeng sighed: "Gu thought you would give some more embarrassing reasons, so that Gu can guess what Khan Ama is worried about."
"Didn't you say that Ama Khan is much more enlightened than I imagined? Since he is enlightened, Ama Khan will not miss the good thing about increasing the revenue of the treasury."
Yinfeng counted them one by one: "It's like the old stubbornness in the court! It's also like the impact of foreign trade on the country's business. These are also problems."
Yin Mo: "..."
I said it all in detail, and asked him what he was doing?
"My brother thinks that the second brother of the crown prince came to see me in his spare time, and he might have something more serious to discuss with me. Or he asked me what the final boundary between the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia was like in the previous life, and what was it like? What caused the retreat?"
It was rare for Yinzhen to take the initiative, so Yinreng took advantage of the situation and asked, "Then tell me, where is the final boundary established?"
Yinzhen said in detail: "The national border between the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia was finally left to future generations in the form of a treaty. The imperial envoys are Suo Xiang and Tong Guogang. Before Suo Xiang left, Khan Ama asked the Nebu The Chu, Yaksa, and Longxingjiang regions must not be lost, and because they were eager to solve the Junggar’s troubles, they finally gave in to the bottom line and signed the "Nerchinsk Treaty" with Ergun as the boundary."
Although he was still young at that time and had not entered the imperial court, after succeeding to the throne, he studied in detail the treaties signed that year when he governed the northern border.
"Khan Ama is quite satisfied with this result," Yinzhen said: "Because of Galdan's aggressive invasion of Khalkha Mongolia, the treaty was signed a year later than expected. There are other issues to be discussed in the north The area was the place where the two sides were in dispute and could not be settled."
Yinfeng: "..."
Xiaomei draws a map for Yinfeng.
[This is the Ergun River, and the north of the river is the Waixing'an Mountains. 】Yinfeng couldn't believe it: "You actually gave away Nerchinsk?!"
Yinzhen explained: "Nerchinsk was originally a nomadic land of the Maoming Anbu. The local tribes were attached to the Qing Dynasty and accepted the relatively loose management of the Qing Dynasty. In order to allocate troops to attack Galdan, Khan Ama had to make a compromise."
He also talked about the missionaries Zhang Cheng and Bai Jin who made great contributions when the treaty was signed.
Immediately two Frenchmen appeared in Yinreng's mind.
Both of them obtained official positions in the court, learned Manchu according to Khan Ama's preference, and because they were familiar with Chinese, one was obsessed with Chinese medicine, and the other was obsessed with Qing cuisine.
His face was strange: "It is important to sign a treaty between the two countries, let foreign envoys intervene in it? Do you trust missionaries so much?"
Yinzhen said: "That's not the case, because the Qing Dynasty had never been involved in such affairs at that time, and was not familiar with other situations in the world at that time, so we had to rely on them to be guides."
At that time, there were no foreign students in China at all, and few people knew foreign languages, let alone the language of Tsarist Russia. Because they did not understand the international situation and the international rules at the time, they showed their unfamiliarity everywhere.
How could Yinzhen not have guessed that when the treaty was signed at that time, he might have been put aside, but after the treaty was signed, the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia ushered in reconciliation and friendly trade, which also gave Khan Ama more energy to fight against the throat the next enemy.
"Oh, I'm familiar with it now," Yinfeng clutched his little heart, and said with sincere emotion: "Fortunately, I don't have the memory of my previous life, otherwise, if I knew this, I'm afraid I'd be as angry as Khan Ama. .”
Yin Mo twitched the corner of his mouth: "Is it that serious?"
"There has always been a phenomenon of people moving south on the northern border. Although the ancestors of the Manchus rose from the land of Longxing, the people there are eager to migrate to the rich land. Few people are willing to stay there. Without people to govern and no people to live in, the place is barren. The nomadic tribes live nearby, the climate is cold, and the environment is even worse than Ning Guta.”
Yinzhen said: "Your brother sees the intention of the second brother of the prince. He definitely doesn't want to give up Nerchinsk, but you also have to consider the issue of governance after signing. The signing of the treaty is not done once and for all. It is just a temporary peace, maybe only a hundred years. The ambitious Tsarist Russia will repeat its old tricks again, and the border defenses will not be completed, and the military supplies will not be able to keep up, and the Qing Dynasty will only be exhausted to deal with it.”
"Your time is running out. It is true that this life has had a good start. Galdan is still expanding in the Western Regions with unstoppable momentum. Once they advance eastward, it will be like a sharp sword, piercing the hinterland of the Qing Dynasty. Threatening the capital!"
Yinzhen found that the prince was dumbfounded by what he said, and he was in a daze, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
He stretched out his little hand strangely, shaking it in front of the prince's ecstatic eyes.
"What is the second brother of the prince thinking?"
Yinreng came back to his senses, dazedly: "After Khan Ama, did he conquer Galdan himself?"
Yin Mo was startled: "You remember?!"
Yinfeng nodded in his stunned expression: "Gu just remembered something! Khan Ama defeated Galdan, and the power of the Junggar Khanate was greatly damaged. Seeing that the battle situation became clear, he said he wanted to I missed Gu very much, so I sent someone to ask Gu for clothes, and said that I could wear them when I missed Gu. In order to leave a smell on the clothes, Gu endured for two days without changing clothes!"
He blinked, rubbed the non-existent goosebumps on his arms, and said with disgust: "Gu is an adult, and Khan Ama is still so nasty."
Yin Mo: "..."
At that moment, he wanted to punch the prince in the face with his fist!
"Hey, let's not talk about these weird memories, let's continue to talk about business." Yinfeng waved his hand.
Yinzhen raised his eyes and couldn't help but confide in his heart: "Is it you who is weird?"
Yinfeng said in surprise: "You have learned how to complain, fourth child?!"
Yin Mo didn't want to answer, and threw a brush at him.
Yinfeng took it smoothly, holding the pen in his hand, and immediately went back to work.
"The start of the Qing Dynasty is much better than that of the previous life. I feel that not only is there hope to win Nerchinsk, but I also want to liberate the suffering local nomadic tribes on Lake Baikal. Should I be a subject of the Qing Dynasty or To be a slave of Tsarist Russia, a fool knows how to choose."
"Khan Ama in your previous life didn't know anything about Tsarist Russia, but now, the Qing Dynasty has spies there," Yinfeng said in a low voice, "Khan Ama knows that Tsarist Russia is now facing two wars. And their forces are now concentrated in the battle against the Ottoman Empire."
"And in their country, a princess is now in power and has also supported two emperors. Peter, who has inherited the throne of the Tsar, is falling apart."
"The time of the Qing Dynasty was more abundant, except for the excess silver in the treasury, the increase in grain production and the military rations were sufficient for these basics."
"There is also the activity of missionaries. Those people will do anything for the benefit of opening up business routes. If you ignore their abilities and rely on them as middlemen, you may suffer a big loss."
What Yinreng said is correct, even though Yinzhen in the previous life was still studying in the study room, the current Yinzhen may have glimpsed the tip of the iceberg of the situation for the first time because of the prince's nagging.
With a complicated expression on his face, he said quietly: "The prince of the previous life has not left the cabinet to give lectures at this time."
Yinreng was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly realized, he excitedly held Yinzhen's little hand: "Gu knows what the fourth brother means."
Yin Mo:? ? ?
"Gu knew that the fourth brother had a great opportunity to live again. How could he waste his great youth? You are implying that you have the memory and ability of the previous life, and you will be qualified for official duties. I understand, and I will give you this." Make arrangements!"
Yinzhen raised his hand, but he couldn't pull it out, and stared: "I'm not, don't misinterpret me! Whoever said I'm going to do a job, I haven't entered the imperial court yet, I'm still young, and the third child is still young." How could it be my turn to do errands if you don’t do errands? When the courtiers see that you let a child who has not yet grown up to do errands without Khan Ama’s consent, don’t they want to reprimand you for a child’s play!”
The fourth younger brother has something to do, and the fourth child has nothing to do. He is the prince who has seen through this life, so cheeky!
"Let's start with the small things first. Now I have two big projects at hand, one is foreign studies and the other is science. Due to the busy affairs of the court, I don't have the energy to share it. Why don't you leave it to the third and fourth brothers? You can experience you, and you can help Gu make some preparations."
"With regard to foreign studies, we need a group of talents who understand foreign studies and are proficient in Confucianism, know the changes of the week, and understand medical skills. They must be cautious and bold, have great ambitions, and be interested in the sea. They will take a big ship in the future and serve as envoys to various countries for the Qing Dynasty. .”
"Think about the treasury in the future," Yinfeng discovered the weakness of the fourth child, and launched a fierce attack on the weakness: "When the treasury has money, it can build more roads, and when the roads are open, the trade will be smoother, and the people will grow them." The food can be shipped out, and the milk produced by the pastures can be supplied to more people. With the treasury, more troops can be raised, more infrastructure can be built, and all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation of the people in the Qing Dynasty will be changed. You can do everything, but you can’t do anything without money, fourth child.”
Yin Mo: "..."
"In science, there are more and more proposals from below, and each of them needs to be approved by someone, such as the internal height increase made of rubber, from research results to production, all of which need to be managed by people, responsible for contacting the Ministry of Finance, and doing it. It's an intermediary, this matter cannot be done by the administrator of the research institute, after thinking about it, the fourth child may be suitable for this matter."
"So, science and foreign studies, how about you and San'er choose one?" Yinfeng asked with a smile: "San'er is still immature after all, and I will take care of him more. Fourth brother, I am completely at ease." Yes. By the way, King Louis XIV of France, also known as the Sun King, is only 1.5 meters tall, and his solitary height is 1.5 meters, so he is [-] centimeters taller than his solitary.”
"The Sun King led the fashion trend in France, and he loved wearing high heels."
"Does the fourth brother know about high heels? French high heels are famous for their high quality, and their caravan even brought the king's high heels to Daqing for sale."
Yinzhen took a deep breath, pulled his hand out of Yinreng's, and said angrily, "Shut up, I'll just do it."
The knife was stabbed in his heart again and again, and Yinzhen couldn't believe it. He is short now, but when he gets old, he will definitely grow taller!
Since Yinreng hired his two younger brothers to work together, the foreign studies and science in the capital suddenly had two royal elder brothers in command, and his reputation among the people suddenly changed.As the products of the research institute gradually penetrate into the homes of the people, some events subtly change people's basic necessities of life, like the silent spring rain that moistens things.
Umbrellas can be easily folded, so you don’t have to worry about getting your shoes and socks soaked in heavy rain. People are not allowed to ride horses on the streets of the capital. Now the yamen has issued a new rule that bicycles are not allowed to ride in crowded places.
The newly introduced cocoa tree has not yet produced, and the purchased chocolate cake can be heated into hot chocolate by mixing it with water, which has attracted the attention of the nobles in the capital.
Many foreign goods appeared in the Qing Dynasty, and those merchants from abroad were willing to exchange jade articles with the shops of the Qing Dynasty.
At first Yinfeng didn't notice anything, until he accepted the visit of several foreign envoys, then he felt something was wrong.
On this day, Yinfeng stopped Zhang Cheng, who was addicted to Qing cuisine, and asked, "Gu has seen a lot of envoys recently, why do you all look at Gu's waist at the same time?"
Hearing this, Zhang Cheng smiled and complimented: "Your Highness, don't you know? Your reputation has spread to my home country. In France, people all know that there is a beautiful jade prince in the east."
"Prince Meiyu likes to wear jade pendants."
Yinfeng:? ? ?
Zhang Cheng praised: "People are also like jade, white and flawless, pure and ice-clear. The temperament is also like jade, gentle and generous, I can't help but feel happy with you."
What brought Zhang Cheng to learn a lot of Chinese is not only the need for translation, but also because he loves Qing cuisine.
In order to understand what is meant by "a little sugar" and "an appropriate amount of ginger and scallions", Zhang Cheng studied and practiced ancient Chinese prose hard.
Yinfeng looked confused: What are you talking about?
"The jade of the Qing Dynasty is noble and elegant. The ancients Qu Yuan said, 'Climb to Kunlun, eat the jade, and live the same life as the world, and the sun and the moon, and the light (1)'. It can be seen that the jade of the Qing Dynasty has a history of thousands of years! Jade can nourish people, People also cultivate jade, which brings people health and love, and is a symbol of noble people. Western countries are full of interest in the jade of the Qing Dynasty, and many people want to come to the Qing Dynasty from far away. See the rumored 'beautiful jade'."
"If it is possible, the French East India Company is willing to ask you to buy jade at a high price. Your Highness, you can rest assured that the East India Company is funded by the King of France. It was founded by the King with the most funds and other nobles. Reliable, and the price given will definitely satisfy you.”
Yinreng lowered his head to look at the jade pendant around his waist, it was just an ordinary piece of warm jade, plain and unpretentious, far less noble than Khan Ama's Panlong jade pendant, but after wearing it for a long time, he nostalgic for it, so he simply refused to change it .
The second Battle of Yaksa also officially started as the weather turned cooler, and the reputation of the Qing Dynasty Prince Jade spread to Tsarist Russia along with this battle!Even Tsar Peter, who lived in St. Petersburg, had heard a little about it.
People may not know that the crown prince's name is Yinfeng, but they know that there is a talented, handsome and gentle crown prince in the ancient eastern country named Meiyu.
Yinfeng: ...
The author has something to say: Yin Reng: I thought marketing was just marketing, but it turned out to be a live advertisement.
Notes (1) Quotes from Qu Yuan’s poems: Climb to Kunlun and eat Yuying, live the same life as heaven and earth, and enjoy the same light as the sun and the moon, which means: I want to visit the jade garden in Qionglin with Emperor Shun, and climb Kunlun Mountain to eat the beautiful jade The hero in the middle (meaning I want to live the same life as the heaven and the earth)
PS: Today I went to see the historical documents of Kangxi's evaluation of Russia at that time. Regarding the name of Tsarist Russia, Kangxi called them "Raksha State" in the documents. The name of Tsarist Russia is also correct. Three Rome, which belongs to the name given to Russia at that time on the world stage.
