Chapter 335 Secret Prison

Hearing that Kangxi questioned the ban on the population bottleneck, Yinzhen calmly replied: "Emperor, the cancellation of the population tax and the promotion of high-yield crops will greatly promote population growth. The population base of the Qing Dynasty was about 100 million. If the court encouraged childbirth, it would double within a few years. At present, what needs to be done overseas is to plant flags, erect monuments, and divide the ban to declare sovereignty. After the population keeps up, it will slowly develop." [Search for the latest updates are all in.]

Kangxi couldn't help but hear it. This was justified. If the court encouraged childbirth, the population would double within ten years. A hundred million people spread to the vassal states on various continents, which was enough to achieve great development in each vassal state. However, what are the benefits of the vassal states that have mastered political, financial, military and personnel powers? Will the powerful vassal states endanger the dynasty? Have the 14th Laozi considered these issues?

After glanced at Yinzhen with a calm expression, Kangxi said slowly: "Although the princes of the vassal must obey the orders of the emperor, have the obligation to guard the territory, follow the war, pay tribute and pay tribute and report their duties, the vassal states scattered on various continents are thousands of miles away from the Qing Dynasty, and the court has no ability to control them. Such obligations are useless. What are the benefits for the Qing Dynasty? Spending a lot of energy to support the vassal states is not just for the tribute, right?"

"Returning to the Emperor Ama, the fiefs of all continents are first of all the lands of the Qing Dynasty in name, which is the name of the great righteousness." Yinzhen explained slowly: "Secondly, the locations of each fief are uncivilized. While the fiefs are developed, they must assimilate the local indigenous peoples, which laid a solid foundation for the future rule of the court.

Third, the existence of each fiefdom can also be used as a springboard or bridgehead for the court to enter various continents in the future. Fourth, if it can be divided, it can naturally be withdrawn! Two or thirty years later, the court issued an edict that the hereditary fiefdoms would not be allowed to be inherited, and all the fiefdoms could be taken back to the court.

Finally, as the saying goes, for decades, emerging maritime powers will inevitably embark on a new trend of re-dividing overseas territories, which is also an excellent opportunity to regain the ban."

Kangxi secretly praised the old fourteenth, who had not yet been enfeoffed, began to plan to withdraw the enfeoffment before it was enfeoffment. However, he still asked: "If the various enfeoffments are as powerful as the Three Feudatories, how can they deal with it? In addition, the royal family will be enfeoffed overseas without worrying about shaking the foundation of the Qing Dynasty?"

"Emperor, each country is subject to population restrictions, and its development speed is not as fast as that of the Qing Dynasty. If there are indeed talents among the princes, there are also places where various continents can make their fuss. How could they bear the infamous and risk the rebellion with the Qing Dynasty?" Yinzhen said indifferently: "The feudalization does not necessarily enfeoff all the royal families, and all noble ministers can be enfeoffed, and the Han and Mongolians can also be enfeoffed. Everything is based on the fundamental premise of unshakableness.

Hearing this, Kangxi was not asking questions, but he felt dry mouth and tongue. He reached out to ask for tea, and found that the tea had already been cold. Seeing this, Yinzhen hurriedly got up and walked out the door, shouting: "Comeone is here to serve the marquis and continue the tea."

When Li Dequan heard this, he knew that the rain had passed and the sky was clear. He responded repeatedly, jogged into the house to serve the marquis and replace the tea cup. He found that the cup was empty. He glanced at Kangxi timidly, but saw him looking in a daze. He tiptoed to change into a cup of tea and quickly left.

Kangxi was still in a state of excuse and was granted overseas feudals. He originally thought that the fourteenth brothers had won over the royal family and noble ministers, and gathered people's hearts for the establishment of the crown prince. Unexpectedly, there was such a big article hidden behind this. It was actually a secret slap that the fourteenth brothers had buried for dominating several continents, and this method was extremely feasible. Just this courage and vision have compared all the princes, and it was not on the same level at all.

Since this is the case, the overseas feudal division must be supported. Once successful, the Qing Dynasty will not only be the overlord of the world, but also the common ruler of the world! The Qing Empire, which spans several continents, was founded in his own hands. Just thinking about it, Kangxi was a little dizzy. This was a hegemony that he could not imagine before. What was Genghis Khan? What was the Mongol Empire? It could not be compared with the Qing Empire at all!

After wandering for a while, Kangxi came to his senses and began to think carefully. Even if he wanted to divide the ban overseas, he had to take Australia first. If he wanted to take Australia, he had to go to Southeast Asia first. Although he had already conquered Manila, he had to conquer Karoba. Will the Dutch in Karoba be easily defeated like the Spanish?

In addition, the fourteenth brother said just now that attacking overseas territories that declare sovereignty in other countries will provoke wars between countries. If you capture Galopa, aren’t you afraid that the Netherlands will declare war on the Qing Dynasty? At the same time, the two major maritime powers declared war on Spain and the Netherlands. Can the navy cope? In addition, will Britain take advantage of the fire and declare war on the Qing Dynasty?

Thinking of this, Kangxi frowned slightly, glanced at Yinzhen, but did not ask questions immediately. Instead, he sipped a sip of tea in Sri, and then slowly said: "What are your plans for seizing Nanyang? Have you ever considered the possibility of the three countries of the Netherlands, Britain and Spain going to war with the Qing Dynasty at the same time?"

Seeing that Kangxi kept silent about overseas eschatization, but the topic changed. When asked about the seizure of Nanyang, Yinzhen couldn't help but wonder. Did Kangxi disapprove of overseas eschatization? Or did he see through the intentions of the Nanyang Fleet? After quickly sorting out his thoughts, he calmly replied: "It is imperative to return to the emperor and capture Nanyang. Even if he went to war with Britain and the Netherlands for this, he would do whatever he wanted.

Liu Zhisheng, the commander of the Nanyang Fleet, did not elaborate on the specific situation of the war with the Netherlands and Britain in the good news. He expected that it would not be a big war. However, if you want to capture Garopa, you may be afraid that the entire Nanyang will start a war with the Netherlands.

Britain is an emerging maritime power. More than ten years ago, it established a country in the Mughal Empire to plunder and interfered with the spice trade in South China. In the past two years, it is tentatively entering the South China Sea. According to the Spanish, Britain has made an intention to occupy Borneo. We have started a war with Spain and the Netherlands. Britain is very likely to take advantage of the fire to rob and extend its power into South China Sea.

From this, it is very likely that the capture of the South China Sea would be to war with the three Atlantic maritime powers, Spain, the Netherlands and Britain. However, the relationship between the three countries has always been tense and has fought many times. The possibility of joining forces to fight with the navy is relatively small, but this possibility cannot be ruled out. Interests have always been the supremacy of interests, and the navy must make the worst plans.

Once the son-in-law conquered Garoba, he would immediately turn around and capture Mansaka. Once he had mastered the two important places of Garoba and Mansaka, he would build a large number of forts to keep Western countries out of the South China Sea. A year later, even if the three countries jointly attacked, he would not be afraid. With the artillery of the forts and naval artillery, he would be able to fight against the Three Kingdoms coalition forces.”

Hearing that there is a great possibility of fighting with the Three Kingdoms at the same time, Kangxi couldn't help but frown. The Three Kingdoms are all Western maritime powers. If they really join forces, the fleet size will definitely be more than hundreds of ships. That's not a joke. It seems that to take Australia, you have to defeat the three-country coalition forces first.

If he wants to defeat the Three Kingdoms coalition, the navy must do his best. What size will the navy be in a year? At least 30,000 navy, nearly 100 warships, and the battlefield is in Nanyang, Lao Si will definitely go to Nanyang to command and not allow him to go to Nanyang. Others may not be able to command the Nanyang Fleet. If he is defeated, the efforts of these years will be ruined. Lao Si will go to Nanyang, and he is worried that he will be self-respecting and will let the navy stay in Nanyang and not return. This is the case with the Nanyang Fleet.

After thinking about it, Kangxi was also in a difficult situation. Changing the system of establishing a crown prince is a big deal, and taking Australia and Southeast Asia is even more important. It was originally two things that had nothing to do with each other, but because the fourteenth brother became a dilemma! After a little pondering, he asked tentatively: "Previously, you had some slight remarks against the system of establishing a crown prince, but did you have any good plans?"

Yinzhen never expected Kangxi to jump from the Nanyang strategy to the founding of the crown prince. He didn't know what Kangxi was trying to make a hammer in the east and a stick in the west. However, Kangxi had the idea of ​​establishing a crown prince with a secret idea. He was clear and thought for a moment before he replied cautiously: "Return to the emperor, the former Ming Dynasty implemented a feudal system for the prince, adopting the feudal system without giving the land, and the titles were not given to the people, and the food was not given to the people but did not govern the affairs. As a result, a group of royal families who were full of food and were mediocre and mediocre. It was originally a strategy of strong and weak branches, but it caused the tragedy of weak branches.

In contrast, the system of princes in our dynasty is much better. The princes have studied hard since childhood, and when they become adults, they have established a mansion and established a title and assigned a title to serve their own strengths, and can share the worries of the emperor and his father, and benefit the people. In this way, they are very good to the court, princes, and the people, but they are extremely unfair to the crown prince, because the crown prince has become the competitive target of the brothers, and they are picky in everything, which is very easy for the crown prince to lose control and make mistakes."

Speaking of this, Yinzhen raised his head and looked at Kangxi, saying, "Emperor, can I say my heart?"

Kangxi was stunned when he heard this, and he had something unpleasant to say. However, he nodded and said, "You are a prince, and you are a prince who is talented and dedicated to fighting for the crown prince. You can see clearly the pros and cons of the establishment of the crown prince system. I want to innovate the establishment of the crown prince system and express your true thoughts for my reference."

Yinzhen bowed and said, "Return to the emperor, the system of cultivating princes in our dynasty is extremely superior, and there should be no changes. What should be changed should be the system of establishing a crown. My sons think that it is best to establish a crown secretly."

Secretly appointed the crown prince! Kangxi was shocked. This was exactly what he thought in his heart. The Fourteenth actually thought so! Then it seemed that secretly appointed the crown prince was indeed feasible. He said slightly: "Switch on."

Yinzhen said in a deep voice: "My son first talks about the shortcomings of openly appointing the crown prince. For the prince, he naturally only has stability at the beginning, keeping his low profile, hoping to succeed the throne smoothly. He was attacked by a group of princes. If he found that it was not stable, he would take extreme measures. Both of these are not worth taking.

For all princes, only by turning the crown prince down can we have the opportunity. Naturally, we will use any means to fight the crown prince together, and we will not take into account whether what we do will do or what we do to the court and the people. What's more, we maliciously violate the court's discipline, corrupt the official atmosphere, and deliberately attack the court's good policies and laws. Everything is based on the principle of overthrowing the crown prince.

Such a struggle for reserves is not only unfavorable to the country but also unfavorable to the people. Instead, it will harm the country and repress the people, which is a bad thing."
