Chapter 143 Hand Gun

When he heard that it was a deficit, Yinzhen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then he vaguely remembered that the Cao family was confiscated because of the deficit. The money matter was easy to talk about. The Cao family held control of the construction and procurement of silk for the royal family, and also took charge of the grain transportation and salt affairs of the two Huaihe Rivers. The deficit was four million, so he helped him come up with an idea and filled it back in a few years.

However, the matter of Cao's resignation was too important. Once Kangxi discovered it, he couldn't bear to take advantage of it. After thinking about it, Yinzhen said: "The opening ceremony of the Agricultural College is about to be held. I am responsible for supervision. Jiangning's trip is inevitable. I tell Lord Cao that it is only four million, and I am relaxed. As for the rest, I don't need to mention it again." [.]

When Cao Yong heard this, he was ecstatic. The Fourteenth Master agreed to help him, and he didn't have to rely on him. This was the best situation for the Cao family. He hurriedly stood up and kowtowed three times calmly, "The Fourteenth Master's kindness to help him, the Cao family will never forget it."

After Cao Yong left for a while, Yinzhen came to his senses. This old Cao Yin was really a traitor. He was afraid that he would not accept it. However, he used this to tempt himself. He should be testing whether he had the intention to compete for the stock market? What would he exchange in the end? What would he have? Jiangnan's intelligence system? If so, it would be cost-effective.

Accompanied by Dachun, Bahai and others walked around Liuchun Garden for a long time and returned to the yard where Yinzhen's study was located. When they found out that Cao Yong had left, they asked for a visit outside.

Yinzhen was also quite curious about those masters and hurriedly called in.

As soon as he entered the house, Bahai presented the three Russian pistols that Kangxi gave him, "Prince Xun, this is what the emperor gave to the prince for self-defense."

Yinzhen couldn't help feeling a warm feeling when he heard this. Kangxi didn't mention anything about the assassination in Guangzhou, but he was still very concerned about his safety. After bowing, he took a Russian hand gun.

The handguns paid tribute to Russia are exquisitely made, with the handles of ivory carved, and the barrel is at least refined steel. Although they are not blue steel, they are also black and shiny. They have been carefully polished everywhere. Even the gun bars and gunpowder boxes are quite exquisite. Yinzhen carefully played with them. Although they were tunnel guns, they had no rifles. He couldn't help but curl his lips. This handgun was more of a work of art than a weapon.

Since being assassinated in Guangzhou, Yinzhen has been thinking about how to deal with the "sticking rod" and the masters of this era. The pistol is undoubtedly the best choice. After returning to Shanghai, he drew a sketch of the revolver. However, he was afraid of disturbing Dai Zi's research on the rear-mounted cannons, so he kept it in his study. Yinzhen was completely dismissive of such primitive Russian pistols, which was useless at all. It was better to have a musket.

Putting the Russian pistol on the table, Yinzhen looked at the three masters recommended by Cao Yin with interest. Since it was Kangxi's secret order and Cao Yin had asked him for help, these three masters should not be far away. When the three saw Yinzhen coming over, they hurriedly stepped forward to pay a visit, "Caominist Luo Jing, Gan Hongjun, and Che Tong paid homage to Prince Heng."

Yinzhen nodded. These three people could be said to have come to listen to the secret order of Kangxi, but they were different from the imperial guards of Bahai and Lai Xi. They were born in a wild and suddenly felt aroused. However, Kangxi had always strictly prohibited the prince from making friends with strangers in the world. After thinking about it, he pondered: "Since ancient times, there are many heroes in the world. Since you three came here under the order, you can't be wronged. I will give you a third-class guard for a while."

Luo Jing, Gan Hongjun, Che Tong knew a little about the grade of the guards, but he was completely unaware of the guards. Yin Zhen's words were a little confused.

When Bahai saw the three of them in a daze, he knew that the three of them didn’t know the level of the guard, so he couldn’t help but reminded him: “You three have reached the top in one step. Why don’t you thank you very much? This is a fifth-rank official position.”

Luo Jing and the other two did not expect that Yinzhen rewarded them with a casual word for their fifth-rank official positions, and they all kowtowed excitedly, "Thank you for your kindness."

Yinzhen originally wanted to let them show their skills, but he felt that they were not steady, so he suppressed the curiosity in his heart and said to Bahai and Lai Xi: "Master Ba, Lord Lai, as long as I respond to the safety of the guard, I will have to worry about the two of you."

Bahai has been in front of Kangxi. He has rich experience in guards, and his eyesight and mind are not bad. The Fourteenth Master is very popular now and has established the Fourteenth Party. At present, the competition among the princes is fierce. Who knows which clouds will rain? Since Kangxi asked himself to come to guard the Fourteenth Master, God knows whether he will be transferred back. If he keeps holding the airs of a first-class imperial guard, he will be unpleasant from both ends. He hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, the word "Master, I am the slave."

Lai Xi hurriedly knelt down, "From now on, the slave is the prince's guard, but by the prince's mission."

Seeing that the two of them were so well-behaved and understood, Yinzhen nodded slightly and felt relieved, "Since that's the case, you two will be responsible for the matters of Suwei with Dachun."

The hungry people in the five counties of Shanxi, Shandong were violent and were wiped out by the surrounding troops in three days with thunder. The unarmed riots and hungry people were not organized effectively, and were quickly dispersed and divided and wiped out by the eight banner soldiers who were in full force. After the army, the five counties were in a mess and corpses were buried everywhere.

Kangxi received the report of the Red Flag Army to quell the rebellion. He glanced at the number of 8,000 mobs and directly reviewed the list of the people who reported meritoriously. He pondered for a moment and then approved the word "accurate", and then ordered: "Li Dequan, the Crown Prince Yinreng wants to buy grain and open a porridge shed to help the people who were affected. If you give him this military report, you will order him and the third prince and the fourth prince to give porridge in these five counties to appease the hearts of the people."

After hearing the decree conveyed by Li Dequan, Crown Prince Yinreng immediately felt a chill behind him. He stood up and took the military report, but felt that the thin memorial was as heavy as a tremendous amount. Seeing that Li Dequan had finished promulgating the decree, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Eunuch Li, how are the emperor in a good mood in recent days?"

Although Li Dequan was the eunuch in charge of the Grand Inner, he did not dare to offend the prince. He hurriedly replied: "Go back to the prince, the emperor will be healthy and have a strong spirit."

Yinreng cursed in his heart, I was asking about my mood, what did you say about your body? He knew that this old castrate was smart and cautious, and he was very nervous, but he was the most greedy for money, so he walked forward a few steps and said, "The Emperor Ama worked hard day and night..." While saying that, he pulled out a silver note from his sleeve and stuffed it.

Li Dequan accepted the silver notes and swallowed only two words, "As usual."

As usual, when I returned to the study, Yinreng quickly paced and thought about it in the room.

It was possible to suppress the riots so quickly and bloodyly, which showed that Kangxi had noticed and prepared for a long time, but Kangxi seemed to have not noticed that someone was secretly instigating the hungry people, otherwise it would be impossible for him to have no movement and just massacred the violent hungry people.

But how can Kangxi explain that he ordered someone to turn the military newspaper over? Even if he ordered himself to go to the five counties to provide relief, there is no need to forward the military newspaper over. Is it intentional hint? Warning? Knocking?

Yinreng could not understand Kangxi's intentions for a while, so he had to be cautious and ordered people to secretly contact those responsible for instigating hungry riots in Shandong and Shanxi to silence them to prevent future troubles.

After receiving the imperial edict from Kangxi from Yinzhen's fast ship, Fan Shichong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The position of the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang was barely saved. With the 14th son of the emperor, the county prince Yinzhen, the great financial lord, who came to Fujian to seek pacification, he could rest assured. While organizing people to copy the imperial edict from Kangxi, he quickly ran around and posted it widely, and summoned Fuzhou civil and military officials to discuss.

As a member of the Eighth Party, Fan Shichong knew very well. Because he had a close relationship with the Ninth Prince, he had never thought of seeking refuge with the Fourteenth Master. In addition, Yinzhen was in Guangzhou without regard for his face. Although this was a trivial matter, it can be seen that the Fourteenth Master had no intention of pulling him away at all, and he had a attitude of keeping away from Yinzhen.

As soon as all the officials arrived, Fan Shichong read out Kangxi's imperial edict. When the officials heard this, they were immediately happy. Not only did they keep the official hat, but they didn't have to worry about the violent things anymore, so they naturally liked them.

Fan Shichong continued, "Everyone, the success or failure of the Prince of Xun's requisition is directly related to your future. How to do it, I will not be too busy. I will remind you a few points. First, I will immediately vigorously rectify the public security in Fuzhou to ensure that the Prince of Xun's reign cannot have any accidents in Fuzhou. Second, I will restrain the followers and slaves of each prefecture. The Prince of Xun's young will be born. If you have passed by Fuzhou in the future, you will not rule out the possibility of a private visit. Third, the Prince of Xun's resolute work, and you will be cheered up and serve the marquis. If you are involved at that time, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Quanzhou, Land Admiral's Office.

After Admiral Lan Li found that the riots and hungry people might be transformed into bandits in Yongchun County, he quickly spread to various places and divided his troops back to defend the prosperous prefectures and counties along the coast. He himself led his troops to go straight to Zhangzhou Prefecture.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he passed Nan'an, he received a report that the general Wang Jin had defeated Xianyou, the city of Putian was destroyed and slaughtered, and the whole thing was robbed. Lan Li made a quick decision to return to Xinghua, and asked Shi Shichen, the waterway admiral of Fujian, for help, hoping that Shi Shichen would dispatch a navy to assist Zhangzhou Prefecture and protect Zhangzhou. He led his troops all the way and went through Hui'an to Putian. Yongde's army heard that Lan Li led an army of 20,000 to fight and evacuate Xianyou overnight.

After Lan Li led his troops to recover Putian, he allocated 2,000 troops to Xinghua Prefecture. After consolidating Xinghua and Quanzhou Prefecture, he led his troops to Zhangzhou. Considering the weak defense power of the coastal counties, he had to divide some troops to enter the coastal counties, while he led 8,000 troops to patrol between Zhangzhou and Quanzhou to ensure that the county town was not lost. The news that Putian was destroyed and was slaughtered also allowed all the surviving prefectures and counties to strengthen their defensive awareness. On the one hand, they strongly supported the officers and soldiers of the defense, while strengthening the relief and control of the hungry people.

Lan Li's trick is indeed very powerful. On the one hand, it blocks the passes to other provinces, and on the other hand, it protects the coastal prefectures and counties. In this way, whether it is the hungry people or bandits who rush to rob the food that can be robbed in the mountains, they end up having only one way to starve to death.

The three major rebels in Fujian also realized the seriousness of the problem, but they had no weapons or siege equipment. They had no way to deal with the tightly defended prefectures and counties. If they wanted to attack hard, they could only join forces. But they did not dare to join forces. If they were to act alone, they would not be able to fill their stomachs. If they joined forces, there would be civil strife immediately.

In order to survive, the three rebels had to turn their heads to various small counties and townships in the inland mountainous areas of Fujian.
