Sirhunak came to Xinming, he thought he came as a hostage!
But after arriving, I found that it didn't seem to be the case! He didn't have to go to court, but whenever there was a major event, he would be invited to come and participate in discussing court affairs.
It was the same today. Just after breakfast, someone came to the palace. There was a carriage and horse specially designed to pick him up. It was said that the palace was waiting for him to discuss matters.
Sirhunak can't tell what it feels like. We just came here and we are not sure what they mean. Since they have called and the horses and carriages are outside, there is no reason not to go.
He positions himself as a prisoner. Since he is someone else's prisoner, it is natural for him to be whatever others say.
He simply packed up and went to the palace.
As soon as I went out, I saw Naren standing on the edge of the bicycle frame, "Why did you come out at this point?"
Naren helped Abba get into the car, "There are important matters to discuss in the palace. Everyone who should be busy is busy. My husband also wants to discuss something, so he sent me to pick up Abba."
After that, he went directly into the palace. There were many people in the meeting hall, and they were all a little surprised. But they all got up to greet him.
There were names on every table, and he saw his name, written in Mongolian. His seat was on the side, and Naren took her father over, but he saw her name on the side.
The name of Mongolian princess Naren is impressively listed.
She was stunned for only a moment, then sat down in her seat.
Her father asked her, "Do you know what this means?"
Naren looked at her father and said, "Don't worry, listen first and then talk."
She looked around and discovered that there were seats from the Qing Dynasty next to them. There were more seats than there were seats in Mongolia. The eighth prince Fulin, Concubine Zhuang, Princess Ailanzhu, and elder brother Yuele were placed there with their name tags.
"Invite me to go?" Concubine Zhuang held her son in her arms and looked at the female guard who came to invite her. She was not sure what it meant. She didn't want to get involved for the time being. The situation in Mongolia had changed. This would affect the relationship between Xinming and Qing Dynasty.
It would have a certain impact. Before the situation became clear, there was no need for her to go! She said, "The child is still young and cannot be separated from others, so I won't go."
The person who came to invite me had a gentle face, "There is also a seat for the Eighth Prince..."
Concubine Zhuang was stunned for a moment and looked at the child in her arms. She turned around and asked casually, "Is there anything special this time? Who is going?"
"And the Mongol Khan."
Huh? Concubine Zhuang raised her eyebrows, "...In that case, please wait a moment. I'll clean up a bit and then let you go."
Su Ma followed and walked towards the back, "Master, do you want to take my brother with you?"
"You take my brother at home, and I'll go."
"Master...do you have to go?"
I have to go, "Annan is the vassal country. I listened in a daze. A prince and princess from the Annan royal family had just arrived, and they were taken hostage with the Crown Prince Li. It can be seen that Annan's powerful people are not inferior, and Xinming wants to use the royal family to check and balance those
Dignitaries. If the vassal country is also listed, we can't go no matter what. But, the Mongol Khan has gone, so we have to go."
Then you have to be careful!
"What are you afraid of? Can there still be a dragon's pond and a tiger's den there?"
When Concubine Zhuang was brought in, she saw Ai Lanzhu and Yue Le were there, and there were definitely more than one or two women inside, so she didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Ai Lanzhu came to pick her up and sat down, "You
Don't panic, it's just a matter of discussion."
Don't panic! I just want to know what is being discussed.
Ai Lanzhu didn't know the specifics, so he only said, "I'm afraid he has some concerns about the Three Kingdoms."
Yes! It was almost time for people to arrive, and then Fourth Master and Tongtong showed up.
Guo Dongli sat beside Qi Ming as the quasi-princess, and on the other side sat the second prince Qitai and Princess Chen Qi'an. The two small ones were sitting upright. The princes and princesses who had not lost their freedom were all
Sitting on the throne of the clan.
Concubine Zhuang saw Princess Xin and Princess Rui in the Xinming clan. They were both the eldest princesses of the Qing Dynasty, but now they belonged to the Xinming clan.
Among the seats of military dignitaries was Haru.
There are always Manchus on Xinming's discussion seats, and they are not idle in Xinming.
My mind was busy, and all kinds of thoughts kept popping up. I was in a trance when I heard the newly enlightened emperor above speak, "The reason why you are summoned here is because the queen and Qin Tianjian have based on the weather and climate in the past six months."
After making observations and comparing the information collected from various places, we have come to a somewhat grim conclusion. This is not only a matter for the Xinming Dynasty, but also for Mongolia and the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, I invite you all to discuss it together."
Weather, climate, is this another major disaster?
Lin Yutong asked for a roll of something from Cui Yingyue, "Everyone, look at this..." After saying that, he unfolded the roll and handed it to Zhou Bao.
Zhou Bao hung this scroll on a wooden shelf and placed it at the front.
Lin Yutong stood up and said, "This is the hydrological data of various places in the past six months... I think if you listen to the voices from the people, you will know that it is dry again! From the beginning of spring to the beginning of autumn this year, there have been six rains in total.
In the Gyeonggi region, rainfall is quite abundant and the timing of rain is good, so there is no obvious drought. But looking north, especially in the northwest, from the beginning of spring to now, except for some counties, there are a small number of spiritual places.
Except for a few rains that did not soak the ground, there was almost no rain at all." As he said that, he looked at Sirhunak and said, "Khan, you should know what the situation in Mongolia is like."
Sirhunak nodded. After half a summer of drought, only two hours of rain would not have much effect. If there was no more rain later, the grass would have withered and turned yellow early in autumn.
Lin Yutong looked at Concubine Zhuang again, "I know you are not in the Qing Dynasty, and you don't understand the situation in the Qing Dynasty. But you can write back and ask later. According to the data, from the beginning of spring to now, there have been an average of three minor meetings in Shandong.
Rain. There were five rains inside and outside Shanhaiguan... This year, relying on the military reclamation in the Northeast, the harvests were all bad. The military aircraft and the Ministry of War specially sent people to check, and the reports were true."
Concubine Zhuang thought to herself: If this is the case in Shanhaiguan, the situation in the Qing Dynasty must not be optimistic. And part of the Qing Dynasty is composed of Mongolian tribes, and these tribes share a grassland with Mongolia. Sirhunak said that the situation in Mongolia is indeed worrying, so
Will the situation of the Horqin tribes be better? This is obviously impossible.
The queen then said, "A severe drought is usually followed by a severe flood, or a plague, including locust plagues. Therefore, we judge that in the next few years, whether it is Mongolia, the Qing Dynasty, or the Xinming Dynasty, the days will be different."
It won’t be easy.”
The clear picture, the facts laid out, and the predictions that had rarely gone wrong in the past made people's hearts tighten.
Qiming sighed in his heart. If this is true, sometimes war is unavoidable. In fact, what father and mother are doing is to avoid war as much as possible. For example, Mongolia and the Qing Dynasty, what should they do if they are hit by a disaster?
It is almost impossible to resist such a natural disaster. If we do not move, many people will starve to death. How can people who want to starve to death remain obedient citizens? They must be against it. Then instead of letting them make trouble, it is better to go to the battlefield.
.
Let's go! If you win, you can grab food! Even if you don't occupy any land, you just keep looting. First, it can ensure survival, and second, it can transform internal conflicts into external conflicts. This is what those in power must do.
choose.
For Xinming, this is very dangerous! Even if you have suffered natural disasters, you are big! You are mainly engaged in farming. In the eyes of Mongolia and the Qing Dynasty, of course there is food here. I will grab it
When it comes time to count on me, that's all.
This is just like the refugees on the road attacking each other after a disaster. At this time, whatever is immoral should go to hell, and living is the truth!
So what if Bahrain is the king of Mongolia? Unless Xinming can continuously supply supplies so that they can barely survive starvation. Otherwise, the situation is the same! This is not a problem that Bahrain thinks about. If he suppresses it, the people below will
It's time to overthrow him!
So, what to do about this matter?
In fact, this is not something you can do whatever you want! We just told you what you need to know about what you are going to face. You have the final say on how to deal with it. But since we know this, we must have considered it in terms of combat preparations.
.
It's a discussion, but that's not quite the case. This is a very serious briefing!
When Concubine Zhuang left the palace, both Ai Lanzhu and Yue Le followed her. As soon as Concubine Zhuang returned, she asked these two people, "What do you think?"
Ailanzhu said, "This is a conspiracy! Let me tell you the situation, this is a big heart, and it also means that I really don't want to fight with anyone." In fact, it is most cost-effective to kill him while he is sick, but they don't!
"The choice is in our hands. If we want to fight, we will be prepared. But if we don't fight and we really have to face this, what is the way out for the Qing Dynasty?"
Yue Le said, "The Xinming did not take the opportunity to seize Liaodong, which is already a chance for the people to breathe. No matter what, most places in Liaodong are still suitable for farming. Because of the severe drought, followed by the possible locust plague, then
There are two main types of crops that should be recommended in Xinming, one is sweet potato and the other is potato. These two crops can still produce some output even if there is a drought. What's more, even if there is a locust plague, locusts will do the least damage to these two crops.
Farming should be encouraged and the cultivation of these two crops should be forced..."
But this is what you think, not what the court thinks.
Concubine Zhuang turned around and picked up her pen, "I have to write a letter. Where to go will be decided by the court."
Within a few days, this letter was placed on Huang Taiji's desk. Almost at the same time, Fei Yanguo also received a letter from Qiming.
Huang Taiji rubbed his forehead. In fact, there had been such a clue since last autumn. Otherwise, why would Dorgon have plundered Mongolia? If it didn't work, it would just be to collect more taxes from the imperial court to make up for this.
It's just a gap on the side.
Benevolent government? Who doesn’t want to implement benevolent government? Any king who does not collect taxes will be a benevolent king! But reality is forced by the situation, and some choices have to be made! Some Hanchen shouted, "If things continue like this, North Korea will sooner or later react."
.”
Sooner or later, whether it's sooner or later, it's all in the future! When the current predicament cannot be overcome, thinking about the future is just a luxury.
Huang Taiji summoned everyone he could to discuss what to do about this matter.
Dorgon said, "Xinming has Jiangnan as its foundation, but we are different! There are disasters in the north of Xinming, so we can't avoid it! We have a vast land and a lot of people. The land is fertile, but we can only plant crops."
One season! If the weather is good, we can still be self-sufficient. But if this changes slightly, who can survive without hunting as a supplement? The Han people don’t understand, but we ourselves understand, and it’s not just the Han people who can predict this disaster.
, even an experienced hunter who hunts all year round can predict it! If there are fewer wild animals in the spring, there must be a natural disaster coming!"
Fei Yanguo nodded in his heart, this is a fact! Animals do have spirituality that humans do not have, and they can sense any natural disaster earlier than humans.
Then Dorgon said again, "If you don't dare to fight, then you have to act like Mongolia, either a vassal or a vassal state. You are too dependent on Xinming."
I still mean to fight!
Dorgon said, "I want to fight, but I may not really know how to fight."
Huang Taiji nodded in his mind, this coincided with him! He had to show his intention to fight, so that he could exchange more supplies from Xinming.
Fei Yanguo frowned. He did not agree with this approach, but he also knew that if the Eight Banners did not move, it would be useless.
At this time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, because the prince had expected it.
Fei Yangguo interjected, "It's difficult for us, but it's not difficult for Xinming? It's big and has a heavy burden. It has Annan and Mongolia to feed it, so it's not easy at all. If it really tests in this way, Bahrain will bring
The Mongolian tribes are harassing our border, which is an unforgivable thing. In fact, this is not the only way to solve the problem."
Duduo sneered, "You are still pro-Xinming and don't understand the foundation of our Qing Dynasty. If the Eight Banners don't eat meat, they will be abolished."
Fei Yanguo didn't care about the cynicism in these words, so he said, "You know that the meat is packed with poison, but you insist on taking a bite. This is called a brain disorder! Isn't it just eating meat? You can only stare at what's in front of you.
Meat?”
What's the meaning?
Fei Yanguo waved and asked someone to bring a pen and paper. The brush was not easy to use. He took the pencil he carried with him and drew a map on the paper. "We are actually trapped in this place now. To the north is Lao
Maozi, it’s good to have a vast territory and a large population, but the bitter cold in this place makes it a bit tasteless for us. In addition, our relationship with Mongolia and Xinming is delicate, and we have to guard against chaos in North Korea. It’s also an old Maozi.
We have not made enemies over there for the time being. We cannot make enemies everywhere and offend everyone around us, otherwise we will have no place to stand. There is a sea area connected to the outside, but all the islands in the sea area are
Come to Xinming, this is actually trapping us here! Now we either have to rush left and right, exhausted. Or, we have to be content with the status quo, rely on the strong, and exist as other people's vassals. But if there are two
If you can't take any one road, you can only choose the third road!
For the Qing Dynasty, the best thing to do is to focus on the surrounding areas, mainly Xinming. In fact, we have Xinming as a barrier to block the covetousness of many enemies from further away. If nothing else, it is Xinming
, the southwest is still at war. Who are they fighting against? Fighting against pirates! Fighting against Japanese pirates! But don’t pirates and Japanese pirates have support? No! There is a country called the Netherlands, which traveled across the ocean. The emperor of the Xinming Dynasty once said,
This country now wants to dominate the sea! And the Netherlands has always coveted Xinming's Taiwan..." He drew this place on the map, "As long as you occupy this place, you can advance, attack, retreat and defend! So, this
Over the past few years, Xinming and the Netherlands have had several battles over this place. And this place is actually only the size of a province. Where is the country of the Netherlands? Here..." He added, "Here...
…”
Only so big?
"Yes! The Netherlands is not a big country!" Fejango drew several continents on the paper. "He has ships and artillery, so he can dominate the sea! He has come all the way from this route... He wants to conquer the new Ming Dynasty
Not to mention the current Xin Ming Dynasty, even the former Daming Dynasty can drink a pot of it! The Xin Ming Navy’s current strength is not inferior to that of the Netherlands. Put this out, what am I going to say? I
I want to say that in a small Netherlands, even if there are ships, we dare to go out and seize territory. Do we have to choke to death? The navy of Xinming once followed the navy of the Netherlands to a place...here..."
"So much further south than Luzon?"
"But this place is huge! The area here is larger than the area occupied by Xinming! And it is said that there are almost no people and no country on it! More than thirty years ago, a Spanish navigator passed through this strait
.In the same year, a man named William from the Netherlands landed here, and he called it New Netherlands! In recent years, countries such as Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands all want to occupy this place! It is said that the land there is vast and fertile, and there is no human habitation...
"
Before he finished speaking, Hauge interrupted: "What are we going to do if there is no human habitation?" It's the same as our current population. People are the basic thing. If there are no people, what will we do?
What's the use of the place? "Besides, we don't have a boat and a navy, so how are we going to get there?"
It’s simply not realistic!
Fei Yangguo said, "We don't have it, but Xinming does! Among Xinming people, except for a few coastal merchants who have benefited from the merchants, most people have a thought, that is, it is difficult to leave their homeland. What they lack
They feel that they are in a dilemma whether they can get out or not. But what we are looking for is a way out! What is there for no one to be afraid of for the time being? A Taiwan Island, how many years has Xinming invested in it, is there any return? There is no return.
Now, and in the future. What we have to do now is to plant trees for future generations. Why not do it? What’s more, it’s bitterly cold here and we only have one crop a year. But in this place, with such a large area in the north, crops can be grown.
There are three crops a year, and the climate is the same as that of Xinming, which is close to the sea. So many countries want a place like this, why can’t we get a share of it? This is the Qing Dynasty, and there can be the Qing Dynasty there... According to the Ming Dynasty
According to historical records, Zheng He's voyages to the West reached as far as here. This long and narrow place is called the Red Sea...Zheng He's ships could reach the coast of the Red Sea. Judging from the distance, no ship of the Xinming Dynasty could reach the place I mentioned.
It’s difficult. It’s not an endless stretch without supplies, here…here…and here…” His hand kept drawing on the paper, “These are all islands! And they are not islands without people. Look, here.
This is Sumatra, this is Java... These countries are all vassal states of Xinming. The Netherlands repeatedly harassed Java, and Java asked Xinming for help. This is why Xinming and the Netherlands must have a battle at sea. Look at it on the map.
How far is Java from the place I mentioned? It’s about the same distance as we are from Japan... To say it’s far is just because you don’t have the guts! Many of you sitting here don’t know one thing, that is, this Java, in
During the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty conquered here!"
The implication is that the Yuan Dynasty dared to go so far to conquer Java, but we dare not go to a new place that is not much further than Java. There is no one in this place, and there is no resistance. This is too courageous!
Duduo asked, "How is it possible that there is no one at all?" It is so close to Java, and if there is no one, "it only means that it is not suitable for human habitation."
No! Not every country has the ability to sail! Besides, it’s not like there are no people at all. “According to Ming businessmen’s speculation, there are tens of thousands of original indigenous residents on it. It’s not a country! We have no intention of invading other people’s places.
We will definitely not go to areas where they often move."
Hauge said, "If we can negotiate with Daming, I suggest sending the prisoners there first!"
Dorgon rubbed his nose and became speechless. To be honest, does Fei Yanguo make sense? It makes sense.
Fei Yangguo said, "There should be mineral deposits everywhere! It's just that the types and distribution are different. We are trapped here and restricted everywhere, so it is better to take a step forward and seek opportunities for ourselves through cooperation.
profit!"
Huang Taiji circled around the room, "You can try to talk! Let's see what Xinming says." After that, he looked at Fei Yanguo, "You and Duduo, Sony and Suksaha, go to Xinming together.
, Let’s explore Xin Ming’s tone first and then talk about it.”
Fei Yangguo breathed a sigh of relief. There was such a proposal in Qiming's letter. It was indeed beneficial to the Qing Dynasty, so he mentioned it. But he still didn't know what benefits Xinming would get from it.
Going to Xinming, Fei Yangguo personally asked people to pack a lot of things. He, Fujin, said beside him, "This leather is not good, the damage here is a bit big... We have good leather from the emperor, give it away.
better."
Fei Yangguo stopped Fujin, "No! This one is pretty good! I hunted it myself."
He Fujin was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that the emperor and empress of Xinming celebrated their birthdays, and his grandfather always asked people to send birthday gifts in a low-key manner. They were all simple and unobtrusive but thoughtful, so he hurriedly said, "... I also made
Two cloaks, otherwise, you can bring them."
One is indigo and the other is garnet red.
Only then did Fei Yangguo smile, "Thank you for taking the trouble." He Fujin breathed a sigh of relief, and he could feel his father's pulse! Even if they were fighting over there, their friendship was the most true. They said
Whoever raises him will kiss whomever. Look, he actually regards him as his biological son over there.
I brought a lot of things with me. It was the late autumn season and I was heading to Xinming. As soon as I stepped into Xinming, Fei Yangguo's nose suddenly felt a little sore, and he actually felt like I was back. As soon as he arrived in the capital, even Xiaodouzi
They were so happy! He grabbed the money and gave it to the owner of the fire sale on the roadside, "Two fires, one fire with two portions of donkey meat..."
The fire seller knew Xiaodouzi, so he smiled and said, "It's you, young master. I haven't seen you for a few years. Have you returned to Beijing?"
Yes! Back to Beijing. Duduo couldn't help but look sideways a few times, Xiaodouzi didn't care, took the fire and handed it to his father, "It still smells the same."
There was the embassy in front, and someone came to pick him up. This official was also interesting. When he saw Fei Yanguo, he asked, "My lord, are you going back to the palace first or are you going with me first?"
Let’s go back to the palace first! He kept the things he brought with him, so he told Dodo and took Xiaodouzi to the palace first.
When he entered the palace, no one asked him. Everyone laughed when they saw him: "My lord, are you back? I heard that you are getting married. I can't do it without inviting everyone to a wedding banquet!"
Please, please, please come back.
After entering the palace gate, he threw the whip away and ran in. Everyone who saw him was blessed.
The weather was good today, and the palace was drying vegetables and dried sweet potatoes. He grabbed a handful of dried sweet potatoes and stuffed them into his mouth. The palace lady behind him shouted: "My lord, that's for grinding flour, not for snacks."
Be careful if you break your tooth..."
Lin Yutong was picking the autumn pumpkins planted in the palace this year with others, and he ran back.
I had already received the letter, but when I saw him suddenly, I was still stunned for a moment. He was a teenager when he left, but now he looks like a young man.
Fei Yanguo stopped in his tracks, eager to come back, but when he actually saw her, he didn't know how to express it.
Lin Yutong put down the pumpkin, walked over quickly, raised her arms to hug him, and patted his back, "You have grown into an adult! You are taller and stronger!"
Fei Yanguo hugged the empress gently, "Are you... okay?"
Okay! She took the child to see this year's pumpkins, "These are reserved for seeds, saved for the end! I will eat this pumpkin today and make pumpkin pie for you."
"Were the seeds of that Pumpkin King selected and grown year after year?"
Isn't it! Not only is it big, but it also tastes good, pink, glutinous and sweet. "I knew you were coming back, so I ordered the new glutinous rice this year. I have been cooking glutinous rice porridge on the stove every day for the past two days. Let's go! Go wash up first."
, I’ll ask someone to serve porridge.”
yes!
Washing and drying his hair, everything was the same as before, using the same things he was used to. When they came out, the emperor and Qi Ming went back to the back.
Moreover, Qitai and Qi'an have grown up a lot. He asked Qitai to ride on his neck, hug Qi'an, and tease her, "I haven't seen your rhubarb when I came back. Where is the rhubarb?"
Dahuang married a wife and gave birth to a litter of dogs, so he had no time to play with me. Last time I held his son to play with me, and he chased him step by step... But when his son came down to run, he chased him.
My son ran away and didn’t want me anymore!
Fei Yangguo was made to laugh so hard that he asked Qitai if he had been naughty recently, but he actually said some irrelevant things.
Fourth Master called him: "Come over for dinner!"
Qitai ran down, his figure was light, Fei Yanguo reached out and slapped Qitai on the butt, but put Qi'an down properly, then politely bowed to the fourth master, and then stood up and punched Qiming.
After sitting down and drinking three bowls of porridge, Fei Yanguo stopped and stuffed pickles into his mouth one after another, "That place called New Holland..."
Qiming laughed, "What is New Netherlands? If we want it too, that place can be Xinming, Xinqing, whatever you want to call it! It is actually a land that has not been named yet."
Fei Yangguo said, "This is really a good thing. In the long run, there is nothing better than this! However, as far as the Qing Dynasty is concerned, coming to talk is just an attitude...Whether it can be done, I actually
I have no idea! Xinming is so big that if a disaster comes, it has basic ability to deal with it. Especially the people themselves have the habit of stocking all kinds of dried wild vegetables all year round. As long as they have food, most people have it.
No matter how unpalatable it is, no one will starve to death with that food. Therefore, Xinming can still cope with it. If he can cope with it, he will have the power to deal with the outside world! Even if there is no reward for the time being, Xinming can afford it. However, the big
The Qing Dynasty is different. If it continues to rush outwards and sees no benefits, it is not a long-term solution. If there are people in that place, the Qing Dynasty will not hesitate. Because there are people, there will be supplies, but there is nothing in that place... To be honest! I
I feel that Dorgon would rather buy warships and firearms from Xinming and go to Japan than go to a place where there is no profit for the time being."
The fourth master then asked, "Since the Qing Dynasty did not value the place and had no energy and ability to further occupy this place, it would be easy to handle! How much area can be opened up by the cooperation between the two parties? Xinming will use half of this area and the area in Jiangnan."
The average tax is a tax paid to the Qing Dynasty. Do you think the Qing Dynasty can accept this condition?"
This means that as long as we send troops and occupy the territory, there will be profits in that year?
Fourth Master nodded, that’s what happened.
Fei Yangguo was puzzled. This place must have some great benefits, but no one in the Qing Dynasty knew about it. It was useless for him to promise it alone, "I will try to communicate with Duduo, and I will talk about it later."
go back……"
Well! It is his responsibility to help both parties communicate about this matter.
Fei Yangguo didn't understand the trick here, and in fact Qiming didn't quite understand either. What his father proposed would be a big burden for the court.
After Fei Yangguo went to rest, Lin Yutong called Qiming to the Nuan Pavilion and took out another map from the drawer, "Our businessman has actually seen the local aborigines... and even seen their gold jewelry.
..." As he said that, he took out a box from the drawer, "Look, although it is rough and impure, it is indeed gold." As he said, he also took out something similar to a dagger, "This is iron, no.
Sharp... but it also shows that that place can smelt iron, which proves that there is iron ore that is easy to mine. No one even in Java has been to this place, which means that the indigenous people do not communicate with the outside world. So
, this is what that place originally produced. If the land is not attractive enough, what about minerals such as gold ore and iron ore? The Qing Dynasty felt that there was no population and did not pay attention to the land there. It was just right. As long as there was gold, in
How can we not get the grain to pay for the Qing Dynasty? The advantage of doing this is that, first, it stabilizes the situation in Liaodong. Second, it helps us to survive the natural disasters in the past few years stably. Third, we can focus on
The use of troops at sea. Fourth, it expanded the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Fifth, the large amount of gold and other minerals obtained can build a solid foundation for the Xin Ming. Sixth, this is also the mutual integration of the Xin Ming, the Qing, and Mongolia.
The first step! If soldiers can cooperate and generals can cooperate, there will be no one who cannot cooperate! After we sit in rows and divide the fruits, to the outside world, we are one! Do you understand?"
Qiming put his hand on this new map, "New place, new challenges..." Those who dare to go out are careerists and adventurers. This place may be difficult to manage in the future.
Lin Yutong laughed, "That's your business! Your father and I can only show you the way and lay the groundwork." So, kid, go back to work! There are still many things that need you to do.
Qiming said, "I haven't bothered to talk about it today. Bahrain has written a letter, saying that he hopes that we can provide some seeds to Mongolia, and then transfer some officials from the Ministry of Industry. He believes that Mongolia is not all about grazing.
! There are also some places suitable for farming! He hopes to find these places suitable for farming, so that each tribe has a fixed farming area. My son thinks this can be tried. "
Lin Yutong was stunned for a moment, and there was indeed nothing wrong with what he said. There are indeed some places where farming can be done in Mongolia. Later, when we talked about Mongolia, we didn’t always talk about herdsmen. Weren’t we always talking about farmers and herdsmen? It can be seen that some places are also farming. It may be simple.
Not many people rely on farming, but if each family has two or three acres of arable land, the meaning is very different.
She nodded, "Then go ahead and do it!"
The people below are negotiating the agreement with the Qing Dynasty one by one, and it will definitely not be that fast.
But this winter, it was indeed dry and cold, with no snow at all. When the wind blew, dust flew all over the sky, and a severe drought was indeed coming.
God did not give any more good omens for the wedding of Prince Xinmin. The cold wind howled and the weather was gloomy, but there was no snowflake.
This is an auspicious day chosen by Qin Tian Jian.
Early in the morning, Qi Ming dressed in auspicious clothes and went to worship his ancestors and gods. Then he went to his parents and was led by officials from the Ministry of Rites. He performed a grand ceremony and asked for permission to go to welcome the bride.
Originally, there was no such thing as a wedding ceremony! The Ministry of Rites insisted that there was no such thing. Even if it was to marry the queen, the queen would be carried in from outside the palace gate. Who had ever seen anyone there to greet a bride? This makes no sense.
Qi Ming wanted to greet him in person, but the Ministry of Rites refused to agree.
Then the two sides were in trouble with each other. Qiming was picking on whether this one prepared by the Ministry of Etiquette was not good and that one was not good. The Ministry of Etiquette was very stubborn. You just picked on me, whether I should agree or not.
There is nothing we can do against this stubborn Ministry of Rites!
Qi Ming bargained with others, meaning that each of us would take a step back. When I left the palace, I would not wear the prince's attire. I would leave the palace in auspicious clothes to get married. After getting married, the two of them would change into formal attires and come to worship heaven and earth.
The Ministry of Rites frowned even more, wondering why the prince's troublemaking hasn't ended yet? If you do this, the etiquette procedures will be messed up! It will be even messier than asking you to go out to welcome the bride!
For this matter, the Ministry of Rites was stunned and reported it to the fourth master! The fourth master had no time to argue with the stubborn one, so he pushed it to Tongtong, "Go to the queen! I am responsible for the prince's education, and the prince's other matters
, the queen is responsible.”
Lin Yutong didn't understand the reason why the Ministry of Rites insisted on objecting. When she asked, the Ministry of Rites started to give examples, such as how many princes were in the Ming Dynasty, how the weddings of these princes were held, and so on.
"Isn't the difference between Xin Ming... and Da Ming just the word "new"? We're not saying we don't want the Ming Dynasty. We're innovating on this basis, aren't we?"
Ministry of Etiquette: Do you dare to say that it is impossible? Those who know know that I am only talking about the prince's wedding. Those who don't know think that I want to oppose the emperor's reforms? Why does the queen always talk like this? She always makes people afraid to speak.
This is not good!
Being able to go out to meet the bride was a must. Lin Yutong and the fourth master sat at the table, watching their son dressed as a groom and going out to meet the bride. Then he watched the newlyweds enter the palace and kowtowed to them.
At this moment, Lin Yutong's expression was in a trance, as if he saw many pictures flashing before his eyes, and the people in the pictures flashed past. The only thing that could be seen clearly was the big red word '囍', so festive and bright!
