After Doctor Zhang left, Yuzhu carefully hugged Xiuyun's shoulders and said happily: "I want to be an Ama."
Xiuyun was a little worried about gains and losses, and hesitantly asked Yuzhu: "If it is a little princess, Amaha and Ermohe will definitely not like it."
Yuzhu smiled and said: "As long as it's your child, whether it's Brother or Princess, I like it."
In the past, among Yuzhu's sons and daughters, the daughter was more sensible and filial than the son.
For modern people, with the same investment in education, the burden of raising a daughter is obviously much lighter than the burden of raising a son!
"Xingrui, you clean up the room next door and come out. I want to raise the baby with peace of mind." Xiuyun was worried that Yuzhu would become lustful at night and hurt the baby in her belly, so she simply changed her mind and wanted to sleep in a separate room with Yuzhu.
.
Xiuyun's arrangement was a serious one, and Yuzhu had nothing to say.
However, from that night on, Xingrui and Xingjiao took turns taking care of Xiuyun Qiye, and Yuzhu could no longer enjoy the blessings of Qi Ren.
On the second day, when Yuzhu was playing chess with Kangxi, he casually reported the good news.
In fact, Kangxi already knew the good news and was waiting to see when Yuzhu would come to tell him about it.
Well, Yuzhu's performance was excellent. Kangxi felt happy and said with a smile: "If she is an elder brother, I will reward her as a Yunqiwei. If she is a princess, when she gets married in the future, I will reward her as a county king."
How good is it?"
Hey, Kangxi was really generous. Yuzhu quickly saluted and thanked him.
According to the rules of the ceremony, it was considered a special favor for Yuzhu's son to be given the rank of Yunqiwei right after he was born.
More importantly, in the Qing Dynasty, only the daughter of Beizi could be named a county monarch. Kangxi made an exception and treated Yuzhu well.
Yuzhu's daughter is a daughter of the Tong family. She will not need to participate in the talent show in the future and can just get married.
If she had the title of county monarch, among the daughters of civilian nobles, she would definitely be considered to be the most noble among the ministers!
However, Yuzhu also knew very well that before he was crowned weak, no matter how great his contribution was, he would only be promoted to a noble rank at most, and it would be difficult to be promoted again.
The generous rewards to Yuzhu's children were just compensation given by Kangxi!
After playing three consecutive games of chess, Kangxi found it difficult to win, so he stroked his beard and smiled proudly, saying: "Your chess skills have improved a lot. I was almost going to lose."
Wei Zhu on the side was secretly fond of Jue, Yu Zhu was really capable.
None of the courtiers who had played chess with the old emperor, including Li Guangdi, Chen Tingjing and Wu Yu, could have lost as skillfully as Yuzhu.
Yuzhu remained humble as always and said loudly: "You taught me well."
"Oh, hahaha..." Kangxi was amused, grinning from ear to ear, and suddenly said, "When your foreign gun team passed through Hangzhou, I sent people to intercept it, and it has already arrived in Jiangning.
Come on, come and see them with me."
"Hey." Yuzhu's face remained as usual, but his heart suddenly shuddered. Kangxi actually knew the whereabouts of the officers and soldiers.
This shows that the old emperor did not really trust him.
Also, Kangxi was suspicious by nature and never trusted people easily. Longkodo had been a bodyguard for many years and was promoted to the rank of Admiral of the Nine Gates after being observed closely by Kangxi.
On the other hand, if Yuzhu wants to master a certain amount of military power, he will definitely have to go through countless tests.
The carriages and horses have been prepared outside for a long time. How could Yuzhu not understand when he saw this situation?
Obviously, long before Yuzhu came to the palace to accompany him to play chess, Kangxi had already decided to see with his own eyes the results of Yuzhu's military training.
The officers under Yuzhu, led by the platoon leader Lu Wu, have lined up neatly on the small training ground in the city of Jiangning.
Since it was a foreign gun team, considering the combat characteristics of line infantry, Yuzhu abandoned the organization of the Green Battalion and adopted the organization of the Beiyang Army.
There are a total of fifty-four people, divided into a row of four sheds. Lu Wu is the platoon leader and has four main posts (squad leaders) under his jurisdiction.
After Kangxi got off the carriage, Yuzhu was blocked by several eunuchs led by Liang Jiugong.
Yuzhu broke out in a cold sweat and was secretly grateful.
Fortunately, he had been on guard, otherwise, he would not have been able to pass today's level alone!
"The Emperor has arrived." After receiving Kang Xi's look, Wei Zhu immediately raised his voice and announced Kang Xi's arrival.
"Lv Wu, a common man, respectfully wishes His Majesty's blessing." Lu Wu was essentially a public-recruited rural warrior trained by Yuzhu. He was not an official of the imperial court, so he could only call himself a common man.
From a long distance away, Lu Wu cleverly ordered his subordinates to kneel down and salute together.
Kangxi nodded and said, "Let's get started." He concentrated on watching the small team trained by Yuzhu.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Lu Wu got up, he stood up straight and listened to the Emperor's orders anytime and anywhere.
The foreign gun team in front of Kangxi wore Western-style large-brim military hats, gray military uniforms, a cowhide belt around their waist, cloth strips on their legs, and each man had a foreign gun.
Well, Kangxi saw two straight lines from the left, and two straight lines from the right, as neatly as a knife cutting tofu.
However, Kangxi noticed that the foreign guns held by the team in front of him looked similar to the shotguns of the firearms camp, but in fact they were very different.
"Well, how you usually practice, do it now." Kangxi also knew some Western military systems, but he did not study them in depth.
"Hey." After listening to Kangxi's instructions, Lu Wu immediately ordered, "Everyone, pay attention, put your guns on your shoulders, turn to the right, and start walking."
"Pa." The officers of the foreign gun team immediately put their guns on their shoulders, turned to the right together, and walked a full circle in front of Kangxi's eyes with neat steps.
"Zi." Kangxi couldn't help but take a breath. He was a famous commander who had fought countless battles.
Kangxi was surprised to find that this foreign gun team was extremely uniform in the way they walked. After walking hundreds of steps, no one was left behind.
Yuzhu was actually sweating just now, mainly because he was worried that something would happen to Lu Wu.
Now, Lu Wu is very smart and successfully obeys the emperor's orders.
Very good, great, Yuzhu was very pleased.
Lu Wu's good performance today was mainly because Yuzhu guessed Kangxi's thoughts and wrote to Liu Wu in advance, asking him to lead a team to practice various etiquettes of the noodle king.
In the letter, Yuzhu emphasized one point: it doesn't matter if the etiquette is not in place or even mistakes are made. The key is that you must listen to the emperor's orders.
The following situation must not occur. The emperor has already issued an order, and they still have to look at Yuzhu's eyes to act.
That year, after Nian Gengyao's victory in the Western Expedition, Yongzheng summoned all the generals in the palace.
Yongzheng saw that the generals were so hot that their faces were covered with sweat. He was considerate of everyone, so he ordered the generals to remove their armor and gave them seats.
As a result, after Yongzheng's oral order was passed down, all the generals stood still and no one was obedient. It was not until Nian Gengyao spoke that everyone took off their armor.
According to Yuzhu's close observation of Lao Si now, the generals did not obey the emperor's orders, but only listened to Nian Gengyao's military orders. This is probably the source of Yongzheng's murderous intention, right?
In order to prevent the situation from happening, Yuzhu wrote in advance and gave Lu Wu careful instructions.
Uh-huh, Lu Wu's performance today was great!
In fact, Yuzhu no longer paid much attention to the following volley shooting and drills such as stopping when the drum stopped.
The most important step has been passed, and Yuzhu has finally let go of his worries. Everything else is just a trivial matter!
Under the command of Lu Wu, the officers of the foreign gun team walked back and forth in two straight lines, one forward and one backward, right in front of Kangxi's eyes.
Yuzhu was separated by Liang Jiugong's people and could not see Kangxi's face.
However, Yuzhu knew very well in his heart that as long as he passed today's test, he could legitimately lead the army.
Kangxi secretly compared the difference between the foreign gun troops and the green camp soldiers in front of him, and finally came to a conclusion.
Although they haven't seen actual combat scenes yet, in terms of organization and discipline alone, the Green Camp soldiers who practice every three days are no longer comparable to the foreign gun teams.
"Come here and get their special bullets and gunpowder." Following Kangxi's instructions, Yuzhu knew that Kangxi had already ordered the seizure of the foreign rifle team's bullets and gunpowder.
It’s really suspenseful!
Hum, Kang Mazi is indeed well-deserved, he is indeed extremely scheming!
After the target was set up, the foreign gun team, under the command of Lu Wu, lined up and shot at the target while advancing.
Yuzhu is not a professional military general, he is a layman and a rookie.
However, he once heard the leader of a certain field army say that good soldiers are all fed with bullets.
Yuzhu listened to this. As a result, the foreign gun team had to train at least ten rounds of ammunition every day. In a short period of time, they had already replaced three flintlock guns.
There is no way, the training is too hard, the barrel will soon become useless and must be replaced.
Fortunately, Yuzhu has plenty of money. Off the coast of Macau, there are many foreign ships smuggling flintlock guns and black powder particles, so it is possible for the foreign gun teams to open up for target practice.
Kangxi was not Qianlong, but he was an emperor who had personally conquered many battles, and his vision must be much higher than ordinary people.
At this time, Kangxi raised the monocular telescope that was sent as a tribute from the West. After seeing clearly the dense bullet holes on the target, he couldn't help but praise: "Well done!"
Yuzhu couldn't help but smile slightly. Since Kangxi said he had practiced well, it meant that the old emperor was really satisfied.
It only takes a year at most to train a qualified line infantryman.
To train a qualified archer, it can take at least eight years or more than ten years.
In addition, the time required to manufacture a flintlock gun on a large scale is far less than that of building a recurve bow.
A recurve bow can take at least three years to take shape due to bonding material problems.
Under the superposition of comprehensive cost factors, the foreign spearmen will inevitably eliminate the archers. This is the general trend of the world and does not depend on anyone's will.
"Very good, we have many talented generals in Manchuria, and we have successors!" Kangxi was really happy. The foreign gun team was very obedient, which shows that Yuzhu's loyalty can withstand the test.
He then asked Yuzhu to train an Eight Banners foreign gun team in the name of rectifying flag affairs. When Kangxi made up his mind to attack Galdan again, he would be more confident.
