This is a bit far-fetched. The ninth emperor Yinzhen was dissatisfied with him. Although Kangxi had never liked him, he still did not agree with him. As an emperor, his prestige and imperial power cannot be challenged. However, the candidates for the crown prince naturally have to choose the best. Could it be that they still choose the bad one? Of course, this premise is that it does not endanger the imperial power. Is the 14th brother just meeting this condition? [The latest updates are all in search.]
Yinsi didn't know what Lao Jiu thought. He followed the idea and said: "Among the brothers, the fourteenth brother is one of the most outstanding ones. I won't talk about the advantages. The disadvantage is that he shows his sharpness and does not know how to restrain himself. The more serious ones are that he is ambitious, fond of war and becomes aggressive. As the saying goes, even if the country is big, he will die if he is wary! If the fourteenth brother is the king of a country, it is probably not a blessing for the country.
But if the 14th brother is not appointed as the crown prince, the Emperor Ama will inevitably attract material advice. After all, the 14th brother has outstanding talents and is famous. What is even more worrying is the strength and power in the hands of the 14th brother. If other brothers are appointed as the crown princes, who can stop the attack of the 14th brother, will inevitably repeat the same mistakes.
, and once again staged the drama of deposing the prince.
Therefore, the starling brother thought that the Emperor Ama would inevitably delay the establishment of the new crown prince, and at the same time, it would gradually weaken and suppress the power and strength of the 14th brother. The Fourth Brother thought that he had already seen this. In order to protect himself, he could only do all means to enhance his strength and power, trying to force the Emperor Ama to make him the crown prince.
This is the conflict between the Emperor Ama and the Fourteenth Brother. Although the Emperor Ama now has great trust in the Fourteenth Brother, the two must have had a fierce battle on the issue of establishing the prince.
We don’t need to do anything now, just watch. If the 14th brother wins and has to be made the crown prince, then we can’t admit defeat, we can only support the 14th brother wholeheartedly. If the 14th brother fails, we can pick up ready-made cheapness and beat the 14th brother, and beat the 14th brother in one fell swoop, and never have the chance to turn over.
Although we are sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, we cannot do nothing. Don’t forget that there is another fourth brother. We must fight and curb the fourth brother with all our strength. If the old fourteen wins, it will be a great achievement. If the old fourteen loses, we will get rid of a potential opponent."
Hearing this, the ninth brother Yinzhen couldn't help but nodded repeatedly, secretly admiring that the 14th brother was indeed warlike. Before the navy was formed, he was already busy fighting in the east and west. If he was to perish in a war, he was indeed not the ideal candidate for the crown prince. What the 14th brother is doing now must pave the way for the establishment of the crown prince. It seems that the 14th brother and Kangxi must have a fierce battle.
Thinking of this, Yinzhen said with regret: "It is said that the Fourteenth Brother has a long-term vision. This time he was aware of the situation. If he had seen this situation, wouldn't it be a complete end?"
"Brother Ninth is demanding.

"The eighth prince Yinsi took a sip of tea and said lightly: "At that time, the situation was chaotic. If the Emperor Ama died, the fourteenth brother had only seven thousand naval forces and only three thousand musketeers. He was not sure at all that he could destroy the prince in one fell swoop. If the news of the Emperor Ama died, the prince occupied the righteousness, and once the throne was ascended, the consequences would be unimaginable. Not to mention the prince, even us, the fourteenth brother was unsure at that time, because the navy shelled the Emperor Ama in Tianjin. At that time, the fourteenth brother was still on the blame for the throne of regicide and usurping the throne. It was very difficult to ascend the throne.
For the Fourteenth Brother, it is better to win in chaos than to win in stability. Even now, the Fourteenth Brother’s decision at that time was the most correct.”
"What if I deal with the prince? At that time, the 14th brother still had a chance?" Yinzhen said, slashing his hand gently.
"What kind of person is Emperor Ahma? How could he not think of this? The news of the prince's defeat cannot be concealed. How dare the 14th brother take this great risk? Turning a great achievement into a disaster?" Yinsi said lightly: "It is really wonderful to divide the overseas feud. I don't know how Emperor Ahma will deal with it. Not to mention, this battle between dragons and tigers is really exciting."
The Navy won a great victory in the South Ocean, conquering the Spanish Empire in the Port of Manila in Greater Luzon, and occupying Greater Luzon soon spread throughout the capital. What was ecstatic was not the good news, but the Greater Luzon Island had 10 million fertile land and strong slaves for sale, and it was sold at a bargain price!
As soon as the news came out, Greater Luzon Island immediately became a hot topic. After Yinzhen heard about it, he immediately condemned people to promote it everywhere. Luzon is only 400 miles away from Taiwan Island, and can be reached in one day by boat. It produces gold, copper, rice, sugarcane, and coconut. It takes only four days to get from Manila Port to Guangzhou, and it takes three days to get from Dagupan Port to Guangzhou.
For a time, the major teahouses, restaurants and guild halls in the capital were talking about it, while the people from the Xun Palace tried their best to spread and answer various questions.
“Is there any security guarantee for purchasing land in Greater Luzon?”
"The Fourteenth Master's navy has begun to fully occupy the Nanyang Ocean. He wants to establish the Nanyang Province. Even the Spanish fleet has been captured. Do you think the land on Luzon is guaranteed?"
"Does the fields in Luzon be sold live or not? Do you have to pay taxes?"
"This is not nonsense, but naturally I will never sell it. As for tax payment, it will be exempted within five years."
"How many acres in the end? The market price is now 7 taels per acre, and the best paddy fields are only 12 taels. What is the so-called bargain price? Is it how much silver acre?"
"Your words are the right person. I heard from the Fourteenth Master that it will not exceed one or two acres, and the specific one depends on the quality of the land."
"What about slaves? How many slaves are there? Now a strong slave is only twenty taels. What is the price of slaves in Luzon?"
"I don't know much about this, it should be around three or three."
"Let me put it this way, Luzon's climate is suitable and rainy water is sufficient. If you plant rice, you will definitely get a 2 stone per mu. Just calculate one stone and one tael, and you can get a surcharge in one year. If you plant sugarcane and boil sugar, you will get a higher income. If you buy land and slaves in Luzon, you will definitely get a surcharge in one year."
"Isn't this a loss of money from heaven? Why is it so cheap?"
"Tsk! I can't figure it out? The Fourteenth Master is trying to see if anyone buys it? Is it necessary for the Navy to vigorously occupy land overseas in the future? To put it bluntly, this time selling the land is just a try. After passing this village, there will be no store. Do you think there is such a cheap opportunity next time? Haven't you heard that the land on Mindanao and Borneo will be entrusted to the royal family and nobles?"
When they heard that the islands in Nanyang would be granted to their relatives and nobles, everyone was interested. Since those princes and nobles had fiefs in Nanyang, the court naturally had to strive to maintain the stability of Nanyang. Besides, they could make a profit in a year, so what else should I worry about?
The opportunity is rare. This time, the money has been lost in the sky. Although Southeast Asia is far away, you don’t have to go in person. Just send your nephews to go there. You can get a Qianqing card with less than 100,000 taels of silver! Where can I find such a good thing?
In the inner city of the capital, in the hall of the "Danboju" was also in trouble at this time. The news from the Fourteenth Master said that no matter whether the royal family or nobles are distinguished from the Manchus and Mongolians or those with titles of the second rank or above, they all have the opportunity to be granted a feud!
Almost all the relatives and nobles of the royal family and civil and military ministers of the second rank and above were gathered in the hall of "Danboju" and they all inquired about the authenticity and possibility of this matter!
The division of feudalism began in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and it was to divide the royal family, meritorious officials, and nobles into various places and establish vassal states; each vassal state must assume various obligations to the king and be controlled by the king, so as to consolidate and expand the rule in this way, but the political, financial, military, and personnel power of the vassal state is not controlled by the state.
For thousands of years, the feudal system has been abolished and prospered. The former Ming Dynasty implemented the feudal system for the royal family. The Three Feudalists at the beginning of the founding of the Qing Dynasty were also divided into feudals and divided into kings! Compared with these empty princes who are now in the capital, it is a world of difference and cannot be compared!
Therefore, when they heard the overseas franchise, all the royal family members could not sit still and searched for specific information. But the fourteenth old man refused to visit the guests again. The crowd rushed to the "Danboju" which was the most informative. Even idle clan relatives who never cared about political affairs rushed over. Naturally, the more people gathered, it was a little more lively than the court meeting.
If it is said that the vassal was divided within the territory of the Qing Dynasty, no one could believe it. The Three Feudal Rebellion has only been more than thirty years. Those who are a little older still remember it freshly. No one is willing to be the prince who has no good end, but overseas vassals are different. For example, Nanyang, a sea route of four, five days or ten or half a month from the mainland, is impossible to pose a threat or influence on the Qing Dynasty. From a positive perspective, Nanyang's vassal can also serve as a barrier for the country, and its relationship is much stronger than that of the Qing Dynasty.
The victory in Nanyang can be said to have proved the strength of the Qing navy. The navy has enough ability to occupy vast land overseas. What should I do if this land is sold? Is it necessary to buy it? No, just one Luzon Island has enough hundreds of millions of acres of land. Even if it is sold for five cents of silver per acre, it is still 50 million taels of silver. How much silver can the people use to buy land? And what should I do if there is no such land? Or is it idle or abandoned? It is naturally the most ideal to use it to enfeoff.
If a group of noble ministers still believe in it, but the royal family members believe it without doubt, overseas franchise is absolutely imperative!
Three years ago, when the navy was first established, Kangxi made a vague promise that any royal family with children joining the navy would have unexpected rewards overseas. At that time, they were just thinking about land grabbing and free slaves, but they never expected that Lao Shisi would clearly propose overseas evictions. Now, with the two sides and one confirmation, Kangxi might have meant that this is what it means. With the joint promotion of Kangxi and Lao Shisi, this overseas eviction is not a surefire!
The heads of the royal family members laughed knowingly, but no one was willing to point it out. Kangxi had strictly ordered that there was no leakage at all. At present, overseas ceasings have been officially proposed, and the implementation will not be too far away. Once Kangxi was jealous of this overseas ceasings, it is very likely that the loss would be lost.
