Kangxi was looking forward to the grand occasion of the Qianshou Banquet. When he heard that Yinzhen suddenly mentioned the topic and started to develop Western learning, he was immediately wary of promoting Western learning. It was not a trivial matter to promote Western learning among the children of the royal family. He was only worried that Western learning should be used for firearms. On a large scale, it would not be as simple as applying it to firearms. E^Look at very literary].

The Western learning of the Qing Dynasty was completely spread by missionaries from the West, but the main responsibility of the missionaries was to spread religiously. Studying Western learning from the missionaries would inevitably be instilled with Western ideas such as religion, culture, and worldview. These ideas run contrary to the basis of the Qing Dynasty's rule, Confucianism.

Although Westerners also promote the divine right of the monarch, what is unbearable is that they advocate that divine power is higher than that of the monarch. Promoting Western learning in the Qing Dynasty was tantamount to instilling Western religious concepts into a large number of scholars - divine power is higher than that of the monarch. This will not only trigger a violent collision between the two ideas, but may even cause the collapse of Confucianism. For the Qing Dynasty, it was an unimaginable disaster.

Kangxi looked at this very thoroughly. This is also the fundamental reason why he knew that the practical application of Western learning was far greater than that of Chinese studies, but he never allowed to spread Western learning among the people. He had many missionaries around him, including Nan Huairen, Bai Jin and others, instilling Western religious ideas more than once, trying to introduce him to the religion, and attempting to enter their missionary cause in the Qing Dynasty through the attraction of Western learning.

It was precisely because Kangxi learned about the missionaries' purpose that he always limited the scope of activities of missionaries to the capital and Guangzhou, and later allowed him to stay in Shanghai at the request of Yinzhen.

Four years ago, Yinzhen held the Hope Yi School in the capital and asked missionaries to teach. The reason why Kangxi allowed it was, first, because he could not always use Western missionaries, so he had to cultivate some of the talents of the Qing Dynasty's own Western scholars. Second, the missionaries were also preaching in the capital, and they didn't care about how many more religious people came to the capital, after all, they were under the feet of the emperor. He was not worried about how much wind could be stirred up.

But it was no small matter for Yinzhen to request the promotion of Western learning in various places. After a while, Kangxi said: "You have always been more cautious about the West than the ministers in the court. Have you ever thought about what consequences will the promotion of Western learning in various places cause?"

Although Yinzhen knew that Kangxi strictly prohibited the spread of Western learning among the people, he had never figured out the real reason why Kangxi did this. Listening to his words, promoting Western learning in various places seemed to be unfavorable to prevent Westerners. He was confused. After thinking for a while, he could not think of the missionary. He had to say: "My son is foolish, I hope the emperor will give me some advice. *Extreme literature*"

Kangxi sighed inwardly before saying, "So many charity studies, who do you want to teach?"

When Yinzhen heard this, he was enlightened and found that Kangxi was worried that the missionaries would teach. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Go back to the emperor, I will start from the sixth and seventh children. The so-called Western learning is mathematics, geometry, physics, chemistry, medicine, nature and other subjects. Of course, sixth and seven-year-old children cannot get into such profound knowledge at once. The emperor is going to teach Chinese studies and basic mathematics first. Chinese studies do not require Chinese studies to be basic mathematics. The emperor will compile it these days before the New Year. At that time, he will ask the emperor to correct it.

As for the foreign tutors who teach mathematics (child teachers), ordinary scholars can do the teaching materials after reading them several times, and they do not need to teach them at all. Five or six years later, they hope that children from Yixue can also go to various places to teach. With this time, the children will definitely organize people to compile the teaching materials for various subjects of Western learning, from beginning to end, and there is no need to use Western missionaries to teach at all."

The Fourteenth Old is actually the plan? Kangxi was stunned for a while and after a while, he had no intention of using Western missionaries. The person he trained in Hope Yixue was just a talent reserved for promoting Western learning? The Fourteenth Old Old is really long-term. Who would have thought that he had such a profound meaning when he founded Hope Yixue that year?

Since he didn't need a missionary and just simply studied Western learning, what else could Kangxi say? However, when he thought that Yinzhen had just said that he would compile basic mathematics textbooks, he couldn't help but feel curious. How could this old fourteenth brother still edit books?

Thinking of this, Kangxi's face had a smile and said slightly: "Western learning is widely used. The Qing Dynasty should indeed start cultivating its own Western learning talents. Starting from the children and proceed step by step. This idea is very good. In 20 or 30 years, the Qing Dynasty will definitely see talents, but I'm afraid I won't see that day."

Yinzhen is not easy to flatter. If you want to say that Kangxi can live for another twenty or thirty years, you will feel that

ouma, he quickly flattered from another perspective: "Huang Ama, the century-old prosperity of the Qing Dynasty and the prosperity of talents were all the foundations laid by Huang Ama.

"Okay! That's right." Kangxi smiled. Later, he said: "I see that the scale of Yixue has expanded a lot. This Yixue does not have to be limited to such a few places. There are also several additional places in Huguang and Jinlu, so that the imbalance of talents cannot be created. The situation of Jiangnan alone will be gradually broken."

Yinzhen secretly admired him. Kangxi saw the development prospects of Western learning and began to prepare for the future situation in the court. He always started from the overall situation. He hurriedly bowed and said, "The Emperor Ama has a far-sighted vision and has far-reaching holy thoughts. His sons received teachings. He decided to gradually promote Yixue to every provincial government."

Kangxi nodded with great relief, and then yin said: "For the country, the development of Western learning has both advantages and disadvantages. With the expansion of overseas territory, it is obvious that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. However, its disadvantages cannot be ignored. At the beginning of its rise, it is necessary to prepare for the future. Strictly regulate and regulate steelmaking, firearm casting, ship manufacturing, etc., and form systems to avoid giving ulterior motives opportunities to take advantage of."

Yinzhen also knew in his heart that Xingxi Xue was a double-edged sword, but he had to, otherwise it would be a situation of being backward and beaten. He heard Kangxi's advice, and he said solemnly: "Don't worry, Emperor Ahma, my son must have found a set of strict management methods."

Kangxi was not very concerned about this. When Western learning emerged, at least twenty years later, he had already passed away. He was too useless to do this. The old fourteen naturally knew that the old fourteen had the ability. He slowly sipped the tea and said: "After the beginning of the year, immigration to Australia will begin. If you are not in Beijing, who will preside over this matter? Do you have a suitable candidate in your heart?"

Although the immigration to Australia was the money paid by Yinzhen, he had a slightest overstepping of personnel appointments. Once he spoke, Kangxi would definitely agree, but he probably wouldn't feel comfortable in his heart. It would be more than worth the loss. Therefore, Yinzhen immediately replied: "Go back to Emperor Ama, I have never considered this matter. Please make sure that Emperor Ama's holy heart is silent."

Seeing Yinzhen so cautious, Kangxi was very satisfied. The fourteenth brother is now much stronger than the second brother Yin, but he always keeps his duties as a minister, does not speak out or outspoken. This is rare. However, the cost of immigration to Australia is all the money for the Eleventh brother, and he doesn't want to make him feel uncomfortable. He was slightly calmer. He said: "Immigration to Australia involves several provinces. I want Zhang Penghong, Fu Ning'an and Shi Shilun to be responsible together. What do you want?"

Yinzhen complained in his heart. It is not possible to simply say that good is not possible. This must be expressed in words, so that he can be convinced and show his talents. After a moment of indulgence, he bowed and replied: "Immigration to Australia, the quality of the organization and the careful arrangements are directly related to Australia's development and future stability, and the entire immigration has lasted for seven years.

Therefore, the first batch of immigrants must select a group of honest and loving people, and the officials who are familiar with government affairs are responsible. These three people are all famous for their integrity, and are familiar with local government affairs. They are in charge of official evaluations, and are the best candidates."

After hearing what Yinzhen said, Kangxi couldn't help but slightly, but stopped talking. If Yinzhen had nothing else to do, he would be ready to kneel down. {

Seeing this, Yinzhen immediately said: "Emperor, now Nanyang, Australia has the territory of the Qing Dynasty, Guangzhou's trade and military status are becoming increasingly prominent, and the sons intend to establish a large naval base in Guangzhou."

This was a matter that had been decided long ago. Why did the Fourteenth Lao raise so solemnly? Kangxi thought a little and expected that he wanted to vigorously develop Guangzhou. He wanted to go to Guangzhou with peace of mind. He hesitated slightly, and then he said: "Guangdong Governor Man Pi has a bad reputation and has been repeatedly impeached. Do you have a suitable candidate?"

Seeing Kangxi taking care of this, Yinzhen felt a little embarrassed. He hesitated and said, "Emperor, once he conquers Japan, the focus of the navy will be moved south, and all the bases in Shanghai will be moved to Guangzhou. My sons recommend their mentor Fahai."

Fahai? He has only been promoted from the seventh rank to the third rank, and he was sent to the governor in a blink of an eye. However, his talent and knowledge are the best choices. He is both Yinzhen's teacher and his own cousin. Kangxi was slightly calm and said, "Fahai has outstanding talent and integrity, and is able to take on great responsibilities and be aware of it."

"Thank you, Emperor Ama, for kindness." Yinzhen hurriedly stood up and kowtowed.

Seeing him get up, Kangxi nodded slightly and said, "I will be busy again at the beginning of the year. Take advantage of these few days of leisure to have a good rest and kneel down." {

Islands such as Ri Island, Huangdao, Yashi and other islands are listed on both sides of Liugong Island, forming a natural barrier to the port area, and the situation is dangerous and solid.

Weihaiwei has a long history and was originally a coastal fishing village. It was called Shiluo in the Han Dynasty and Qingquanluo in the Yuan Dynasty. In the 31st year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1398), it was established to prevent Japanese pirates from attacking and setting up a guard, and was named Weihaiwei, which was named after the meaning of Weizhen in the sea border.

The Royal Navy of the Qing Dynasty and 10,000 new students from Tianjin Naval Academy moved to Weihaiwei for training this winter under the leadership of the general captain Wu Ge.
