June in the 54th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi.

Jiangning Mansion!

Mad Mansion.

...

"If I had known, I would have moved the Governor's Office to Suzhou, so it would have saved me so much!"

In the backyard, Ma De lay on the bamboo chair with his chest exposed, holding a piece of iced watermelon and chewing it hard, while slapping the palm-leaf fan hard, as if it was so hot that it was extremely hot.

"I just know that these are useless... it's because you've run along the way, just stay for a while! Besides, Suzhou may not be much cooler than Jiangning Mansion..." Luo Xin picked up a cherry and put it into her mouth.

"That's not necessarily true!" Ma De chuckled, "Do you know? Our Prince Yong just 'raised' one million taels of silver in Suzhou Prefecture. Now, the 'weather' there is quite cool!"

"I already know this..." Luo Xin replied indifferently, "Isn't that fourth prince playing the trick of 'robbing the rich and helping the poor'? Why? Those blackmailed guys came to you?"

"What's the use of finding me? Can I, a little governor, be the lord of other people's princes? Besides, who doesn't know the temper of that fourth prince?" Ma De snorted.

"You save money, right?" Seeing Ma De's appearance, Luo Xin couldn't help but pick up a cherry and smashed it over, "Do you really not plan to manage it? That guy has already gone to Jiangsu to raise money several times? The court is not without money. He keeps paying money from your rule. Are you not afraid that he has ulterior motives?"

"It's certain that you have ulterior motives! But I really don't care." Ma De smiled and said. Luo Xin was right. On Kangxi's 60th birthday, the treasury of the imperial court had reached a huge amount of tens of thousands of taels. Although some of it had been consumed in the past two years, the Qing court was still very rich, and it was impossible to raise money to help the refugees everywhere. Yinzhen "takes people's wealth" in the name of relief, which is actually equivalent to slandering Kangxi and the Qing court. If there is no intention, let alone Luo Xin, he wouldn't believe it. However, even Yinzhen was not afraid of having ulterior motives. He has been in Jiangnan for nearly fifteen years, and his foundation is already profound. When can he be defeated so easily? Not to mention a mere Prince Yong, even Kangxi is not afraid.

"Is there any news about Sister Qing recently?" Ma De asked Luo Xin again.

"It's nothing. Sister Qing went to Sichuan some time ago and met with the guys from Shanxi merchants. After discussing some things, she went back to Kunming!" Luo Xin replied.

"Yeah!" Ma De nodded and threw the watermelon peel in his hand out...

"Ouch!"

A scream!

Afterwards, a chubby young man who looked about ten years old came over, put his hands on his hips and walked to Ma De, and said angrily: "Who is so unkind to be so kind? How can this watermelon skin be thrown around? Is it possible for you to pay for it when you hit me in the head?"

"Boy, who do you talk to?"

Ma De glared, sat up from the bamboo chair "rubbed", reached out and took off the floor slippers under his feet and took them into his hand.

"Mom!" The little fat man stretched his face towards Luo Xin with a pitiful look on his face.

"Ahem..." Luo Xin coughed twice and glared at Ma De.

"Son. Dad just ran for a while. The soles of his feet feel a little uncomfortable. Come on, give me a massage..." After looking at his wife's face, Ma De smiled and threw his slippers on the ground with a sensible look, stretched his feet towards his son.

"Mom, are you tired? I will help you beat your shoulders!"

He gave Ma De a blank look, Xiao De raised his neck and rushed behind Luo Xin a few steps. His small fist hit Luo Xin's shoulder one by one.

"Stupid brat, I will deal with you sooner or later!" Ma De glanced at Luo Xin with some jealousy and couldn't help but mutter.

"Mom, who did I see that today..." Xiao De said again while slamming Luo Xin's shoulder.

"Who did you see?" Luo Xin asked with a smile. This son has never stopped since he could walk. He has started to "run" in Jiangning Mansion when he is a little older. He also has a group of minions who are about the same age as him. He is "not doing his job" all day long, which makes people worry a lot. However, they are just one son. Although they are a little naughty, the child is well-behaved and sensible, and has never done anything excessive. Instead, he has helped many people. He actually enjoys a good beer among the people, so she naturally can't bear to punish him. Although Ma De's appearance just now, he wanted to use the soles to suck people with his shoes, in fact, if Xiao De put his butt up, Ma De might not have taken action.

"It's the Prince Yong who came to visit our house the first few... I see he went to E Mansion!" Xiao De said.

"E Mansion? Is it at Ortai Mansion?" Ma De interrupted and asked.

"Well. It's Uncle E's place!" Xiao De nodded.

"Interesting, I came from Suzhou so soon... It seems that the Fourth Master came this time not only to raise funds!" Luo Xin said with a smile.

"I'm too lazy to care about him..." Ma De snorted coldly, stretched out his arm, "Anyway, if he doesn't come to me, I will just pretend that he doesn't exist. On the ground of the three provinces in Jiangnan, it's not his turn, a small fourth prince, who is there to stir up the wind and rain for me!"

...

Beijing.

Changchun Garden, the smoke waves lead to the refreshing vegetarian food!

Not long after, the ninth prince Yinzhen, who was named Prince of Delhi by Kangxi and was about to set off for India to regain power, was resigning to Kangxi.

"I don't know how long it will take for my son to see Tianyan again...Wang Wang Emperor Ama to take care of the dragon body." There were other people around him, and Yinzhen's tone of speaking was a little choked, and he seemed very sincere.

"Yeah!" Kangxi glanced at his son. In fact, among the more than 20 sons, he was not very particular about Yinzhen's attention and care. He never liked this ninth son who had never been very open. However, he had to admit that in terms of talent, this kid could still rank among the top ones among his many sons. Moreover, this kid's performance has shown that he is enough to bear the heavy responsibility.

"Yinzhen, this time you're traveling, I want to ask you... how do you plan to guard India?" After thinking for a while, Kangxi still felt that he couldn't stand it and showed too warmth. After all, he and Yinzhen knew very well that their relationship was never very deep except for the name of a father and son. Yinzhen could say something that his son should say, but he was not so shameless. So, he had to ask about the serious matter.

"Returning to Emperor Ama, I thought that India could not be incorporated into the territory like Myanmar for a time, and the situation in this area was complex and extremely difficult to deal with. However, now there are examples of General Yuzhongyu acting. I thought that if I want to firmly defend India, the first priority is military power. Only by having military power far stronger than the Indian states can those Indians dare not act rashly. However,... In my opinion, with the current power of the Qing Dynasty, our Qing army can enter India directly from Tibet or Myanmar. Therefore, those Indians must not dare to have any other intentions, and this military power is not so urgent. Secondly, I, I, will have no intention of making any difference.

I thought that when Duoduo won over the nobles there. India is not like our land of China. Its nobles and caste inheritance has almost never been cut off. Those people firmly grasp the power of India's state, and it is difficult to eliminate them when they are anxious. Therefore, they can gather them around and rule India with the method of "using barbarians to control barbarians". As for this third... that is division! There are many rifts between the Indian states, which will disperse their national strength and make great achievements. Therefore, my ministers think that if you want to defend India, the first thing is to do is to unite the Indian states, so as not to increase their power and become enemies with our Qing Dynasty!..." Yinzhen replied.

"It's quite organized... Look at this!" After hearing Yinzhen's words, Kangxi nodded without comment, and suddenly took out another memorial and handed it over.

"What is this?" Seeing Kangxi actually took out a memorial for Yinzhen, Tong Guowei, Maqi, Zhang Tingyu and the new Nine Gate Admiral Longkodo were a little puzzled. However, as Yinzhen's face gradually became solemn, they all cheered up... It seemed that something was going to happen, maybe Kangxi would ask them something. Although he didn't know what was going on, in this case, it was always better to be careful.

...

"Emperor Ah, my son thinks that General Yu must have any idea of ​​doing this... He will never be detrimental to the court!"

Just as Tong Guowei and others were thinking about what Kangxi had shown Yinzhen, Yinzhen had already finished reading the memorial. However, his words also shocked the people present... Why is this a concern again?

"I have secretly interacted with Western envoys many times, and I have been flirting with the enemies of the court... Why do you determine that he will not do anything that is unfavorable to the court?" Kangxi ignored the suspicious expression of the ministers, but asked Yinzhen again.

"Emperor," Yinzhen bowed to Kangxi, and raised the memorial just now and said, "My son has worked with Yu Zhong in India for a while. Although he dare not say that he is well aware of his character, he will definitely not do anything to be sorry to the country! Otherwise, why did Yu Zhong take action against Japan, Myanmar, and India one after another? Isn't this for my Qing Dynasty? I'm afraid that it's not just a memorial. You and all the ministers present are probably deeply aware of this. However, this memorial ignores the merits of Zhongdi, and only based on some speculations, it is really a big frightening thing for the ministers. If you are away, you cannot report all the things to the court and report them to the king. But if someone is framed for no reason because of jealousy, wouldn't the generals who go out to guard the country suffer too much?"

"It turned out that it was suing Yu Zhong and the Westerners... "After hearing the conversation between Kangxi and Yinzhen, the rest of them understood the matter in the memorial. They also knew very well why Yinzhen wanted to defend Yu Zhong... Now the Qing Dynasty's army guarding India was under the jurisdiction of Zhong. If his ninth prince wanted to firmly hold the position of "Derri Prince", he would naturally have to sell him for favor.

"It's good that you can think so." After Yinzhen finished speaking, Kangxi nodded, "You and Yu Zhong will not be separated for a while. India has not been pacified for a long time, and it is just that you two need to work hard to stabilize the rule of the Qing Dynasty. It is true that there should be no rift because of slander like this memorial!..."

"My son understand." Yinzhen bowed and replied.

"Yu Zhong had a memorial before, saying that the Westerners were in disagreement. Just drive them with interests to break up their alliance, and..." Kangxi threw the memorial that Yinzhen returned to the side, "Yu Zhong also told me that our vast Heavenly Kingdom must not be truce after being shamelessly attacked by barbarians! If this happens, then the Western barbarians will think that our Qing Dynasty is weak and can be bullied, and their courage will sooner or later expand. Therefore, this battle cannot be stopped, and we have to continue to fight! What do you think, my dear friends?"

"Your Majesty, what do you want to do?" Ma Qi felt his head tight when he heard Kangxi and Yinzhen talking to each other for no reason. Hearing Kangxi's words, he couldn't help but ask.

"In theory, Yu Zhong said that the land was not bad. However, the Westerners came and went from sea, and the benefits of ships were not inferior to our Qing Dynasty... There is no need to seize the victory, so this battle is not easy to continue!" Zhang Tingyu said. As soon as Kangxi spoke, he grasped several important factors in the other party's words. Yu Zhong said that, how could the Yangtian Dynasty be beaten and finished? This first occupied the righteousness. Although the Western barbarians also suffered losses, if they just drove the enemy out of the border, they might make a comeback. After all, those guys who were ill-hearted about the Qing Dynasty would make a comeback.

This time the Westerners were too careless. If they learned the lesson, they would probably not be so easy to deal with. Therefore, only by hitting the other party completely, it would be uncomfortable when they think of the war with the Qing Dynasty. This would be the end. But then again, if they had to continue fighting, it would be not so easy. The strength of the Westerners on land has been polished by Yu Zhong with various means so that they didn't have the chance to show off, but their water strength is not there... If it weren't for Song Zhu and Nian Gengyao that they destroyed a group of warships of each other one after another, the Qing Dynasty might not be able to compete with them. But even so, the water strength of the two sides is still quite different. If they really want to fight, if the Qing Dynasty loses...

"Emperor, what is Yu Zhong going to do?" Tong Guowei asked. Although Kangxi didn't say anything, he could see that the emperor was still very moved by Zhong's proposal. After all, Kangxi had never been so angry after so many years ascended the throne. The dignified Heavenly Kingdom was beaten to the door of his house by a group of barbarians, and in the end he just bombarded the other person... With Kangxi's temper, how could he bear this tone?

"In the memorial, he claimed that he had contacted the Turkish people several times, as if he was planning to instigate the Westerners from the inside, and then let the Qing Dynasty attack from the outside..." Kangxi replied.

"Turkey?" Longkodo said in surprise.

"What? Longkodo, what do you want to say?" Kangxi asked.

"Your Majesty, I heard of this Turkish when I was in India... I heard that this Turkish is constantly fighting with European countries, and the hatred is as deep as the sea. Although I don't know why they united to infringe on our Qing Dynasty this time, if General Yu really could instigate him, it might really be a great help to our dynasty!" Longkodo bowed and replied.

"In this way, Yu Zhong is not aimless!..." Kangxi pondered for a moment, then looked up at the people in front of him, "You think, should I agree with what Yu Zhong asked?"

"Your Majesty, if war begins again, when will this end? The court still has many things to do now. Don't waste your energy on this useless war anymore!" Ma Qi kowtowed and said.

"Emperor, my son thought what he asked for was very correct. The Western barbarians were greedy. Although they had never tasted the sweetness this time, the court did not take any big advantage. Moreover, the power of the Celestial Empire would not allow the small barbarians to be blasphemed. If they were not defeated, it would not take much time. The court would have a headache for these barbarians again!" The Maldives were not far from India, and Yinzhen naturally did not want to leave a wolf that could bite people at any time. Only by driving it far away would it be in line with his wishes.

"Your Majesty, the Western Invaders have retreated to the sea. If you want to fight against it, you may need the navy as the main force... In this regard, should you send someone to ask Shi Shibiao first?" Tong Guowei thought for a while and answered.

"The emperor, Yu Zhonghe Shibu, each led the army alone, and had the power to make arbitrary decisions... I think that the war ahead can be resolved by the two of them! The court does not need to intervene too much!" Zhang Tingyu also said.

"Yeah!" Kangxi stroked his head. He also felt a little difficult to make a decision. The attack of the Western coalition did make him very angry. He didn't want the other party to retreat so easily, but after finally winning, if he couldn't win again, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?

"..." Tong Guowei and others looked at Kangxi and waited quietly for the other party to make a decision. However, after waiting for a while, he saw Kangxi waving their hands... This was signaling them to go out.
