Chapter 454: Indulge Mongolia
Kangxi knew that the Southeast Asian countries were rich, but he did not expect that they were so rich. The areas of Siam, Myanmar, Guangnan, Annan, Zhenla and other countries were several times larger than those of Jiangnan. If they were fully developed, they were produced only in Nanyang, which would be enough to ensure the needs of the Qing Dynasty.
Such a wealthy land must be controlled by the Qing Dynasty and cannot be interfered with by others. In the past, I was not clear about the situation and could not build a ship to move south. Now I have fully occupied the islands of the South Ocean and guarded the Mantaska Strait. The countries of the South Ocean can be said to be in their pockets. It is because of the heavenly teachings that they do not take, but they are harmed.
However, now that the navy has limited troops and it is difficult to fight on a large scale in the short term, Lao Sisi is an ambitious person and has long been determined to annex the countries of South China. I wonder what he thought? Kangxi walked around silently for a few times before sitting back on the kang, pondering for a moment, and then said, "What are your plans for the countries of South China?"
Yinzhen pondered: "The wealthy land in the South Ocean must be fully incorporated into the territory of the Qing Dynasty, rather than the vassal states. At present, due to their military strength, they are unable to fight in the south, so they can only slowly plan for it.
In the past century, the countries in the South China Sea have been attacking each other continuously. Myanmar and Annan have been ambitious and have been conquering wars over the years. The Qing Dynasty captured the entire islands in the South China Sea, which will inevitably greatly increase the sense of crisis among all countries. All countries want to expand their strength to compete with the Qing Dynasty.
My son personally thinks that if you want to return to the South China Sea, you must make good friends with Siam, which is located in the middle, and then secretly sponsor Myanmar. Annan attacked and encroached Siam. When the large-scale Siam falls and is in a critical moment of destruction, the Qing Dynasty sent troops to sweep away the countries in one fell swoop. In this way, it is not only famous for its troops, but also deeply loved by the people. It is conducive to long-term stability in the future.
In recent years, we should condemn people to vigorously purchase rice from countries in Southeast Asia, which can not only make reserves, but also weaken their war power, and at the same time spy on the intelligence of various countries. We will survey the terrain and prepare for the southern expedition."
Kangxi said with a slight hint: "This strategy is good, it can be said to be a killer. Nanyang is both a granary and close to Guangxi. It echoes the islands of the South China Sea. It has a very prominent strategic position and must be included in the territory. The South China Sea is not conducive to cavalry operations. In addition, the hot climate is not conducive to the northerners. I ordered the green camps stationed in Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian to expand their enrollment, and it will take three years to fight south in three years."
Unexpectedly, Kangxi was even more anxious than him. He was about to march south in three years. Yinzhen laughed in his heart, but said with a solemn expression: "My son is honored."
Li Dequan whispered outside the door: "Report to the Emperor, Rong Xian, Princess Kejing and the two princes have arrived in the capital."
When Kangxi heard this, he couldn't help but smile. Princess Rongxian was his favorite daughter. Princess Kejing's performance in Khalkha Mongolia was also remarkable and was highly appreciated by him. He slightly said, "Let them come and meet."
After Li Dequan withdrew, Kangxi smiled and said, "Your third sister is in the Balin tribe of Mongolia, southern Mongolia, and the connections are convenient. Your fourth sister is far away in Khalkha Mongolia. This time, it is not all for me to celebrate my birthday. It should be because of the overseas corpsification or Australian immigration. It is coming to test the news. During this birthday, many Mongolian princes and princes came, mostly for Australia immigrants. I am afraid that some of you will be busy these days."
After hearing the many Mongolian princes and princes coming to test the news, Yinzhen couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "After the birthday celebration, my son will take them to Tianjin to see the Australian immigration situation. If the Mongolian tribes can actively participate, there is no need to worry about soldiers, cattle, sheep and horses."
Kangxi nodded slightly, pondered for a while, and then said: "The overseas franchise must be used to a large amount of cavalry. After Australia's migration, immigrants from the Americas also need to participate in the participation of a large number of Mongolians. They will move the Mongolian tribes in Australia, ban the Lama Huang Cult, and allow intermarriage with various tribes and ethnic groups. However, they are not allowed to return to the Qing Dynasty without permission."
After hearing this, Yinzhen couldn't help but feel secretly happy that the Qing Dynasty weakened Mongolia and the so-called reduction of taxes against Mongolia was to advocate the Yellow Lamas. The court stipulated that if there were two sons in the Mongolian family, one should be a lama; if there were three, two should be a lama, that is, only one son was allowed to set up his own business.
The Lama Huang Cult is very popular among Mongolians, especially among Mongolian princes and princes. The court's move is purely to follow the trend, which not only catered to the Mongolian nobles, but also implemented a reduction in tertiary dynasties, because the Lama Huang Cult advocated hard practice, respected the precepts, did not marry, banned drinking, and quit killing.
Prohibiting intermarriage between Mongolian and Han, Mengwei, Menghui and Mengha, and prohibiting intermarriage between Mongolian tribes is also an important means to reduce the number of people. In this regard, the imperial court has strict regulations, such as those who are good at marrying Khalkha and Weilat, who are resigned from their ranks and are not allowed to inherit the titles; the idle Mongolian people under the king are prohibited from marrying Khalkha and Weilat as per the prescribed rules.
Of course, the so-called policy of reducing taxes has also been to withdraw large numbers of people to recruit soldiers or buy Mongolian slaves with a large amount of money, implement the division of power of religion, allow Mongolian princes and living Buddhas to restrict each other, and use heavy taxes and other means. However, the most important thing is to promote the Lama Huang Sect and prohibit intermarriage from all tribes and ethnic groups.
Kangxi's words undoubtedly meant to completely relax restrictions on overseas Mongolian tribes and encourage overseas Mongolian tribes to reproduce in a large scale. In this way, in just a few decades, overseas Mongolian tribes will reach a terrifying scale. With Mongolian cavalry participating in the American feudal, it will take not many years to sweep the entire America. How can the Americas still have Europeans?
When was Uncle Sam's yearning? It should be more than 60 years before, so this world will definitely not appear again. Yinzhen was secretly happy for a while, but he was very puzzled. Why did Kangxi encourage the Mongolians overseas to reproduce? Aren't he afraid of endangering the security of the American fining? He pondered for a moment, and then he tentatively said: "Emperor, with the promotion of the acne vaccination method, smallpox will be greatly controlled and the survival rate will be greatly improved. Once the overseas Mongolian tribes grow, it will be extremely difficult to curb. My sons are worried that they will endanger the overseas fining."
Kangxi smiled slightly. Lao Si Si was testing his attitude. After pondering for a moment, he said: "The vast land of America, and European countries have intervened. Each feudal country needs a powerful Pingfan. The Mongolians are the best Pingfan. Isn't this the case? Moreover, although the world is big, it cannot fully enter the Qing territory. Let the Mongolians become strong and compete with the Europeans. It is also a chance for the Mongolians to have a scale. However, the scale in Australia must be strictly controlled, and Australia cannot be interfered with by anyone."
Although the world is big, it cannot fully enter the territory of the Qing Dynasty. Yinzhen was stunned when he heard this. How far could he go with the population advantage of the Qing Dynasty and the foresight of hundreds of years?

"Danboju" has been crowded these days. Kangxi's sixty-year-old birthday, and there are many governors, governors, governors, and town officials who came to Beijing to see him. Many elderly officials who retired were also rewarded by Kangxi with their original rank and were invited to the capital to celebrate his birthday.
Since local officials who came to Beijing from other provinces have entered Beijing, the six ministries, the chief officials of the temples, supervisors, and courts must visit them, and all kinds of filial piety are naturally inevitable. Time is tight, so it is impossible to visit them one by one. They can only take turns to entertain the various departments and courts one by one. Of course, in the same year, the same schoolmate, same teacher, same official, and same fellow townsman, also had to take this opportunity to reminisce about the past.
When the retired official came to Beijing, the old friends of the capital were responsible for banquets, to thank the teacher for his kindness and reminisce about his old friendship. Such a large-scale banquet is a once-in-a-century restaurant in the capital. Every high-end restaurant in the capital is full, not to mention the "Danboju", which is full from morning to night.
However, there are three or four separate courtyards for large stores like "Danboju" at any time to prevent emergencies. Those provincial governors, governors, and officials in other provinces were senior officials in the local area. When they arrived in the capital, the capital bowed their eyebrows and bowed their waists and was able to book a seat in the "Danboju" hall, which was already very proud.
As the host of the treat, Yinzhen naturally had to arrive early. He didn't like social engagements on the scene, so he entered from the back door and entered the courtyard. However, he saw Yinxiang and Yinlu and the others were already there, drinking tea and chatting. He couldn't help but smile and said, "You two are leisurely."
Yinxiang hurriedly stood up to greet him, but said aggrievedly: "Fourth brother has wronged us. My sixteenth brother and I have been shopping in the Imperial Street for a day today. You have just sat down and you are here."
Yinzhen sat down and said, "Then you have to have a few more drinks with your two brothers-in-law today."
Drinking is the best of the 13th old man. Yinxiang smiled and said, "This is no problem, but you have to support the chariot tomorrow, so you can't overdo it."
"Just your alcohol tolerance, are you still worried about excessive amounts?" Yinzhen smiled casually, and then said: "I know a little about my third brother-in-law, Prince Urgon, Prince Zhasakdoro, but I don't know much about the fourth brother-in-law, Prince Dundubdorji, the king of Khalkha. How much do you know about the situation in Khalkha Mongolia?"
"Is this a test for me? I'm idle, so I'll show off." Yinxiang smiled and said, "Mongolia is divided into three parts: South Moon, North Moon and West Moon. South Moon is Inner Mongolia. The first to surrender to our Qing Dynasty, including sixteen tribes, including Korqin, Chahar, Bahrain and Tumot, we are familiar with.
The western Mongolia of Mohe is the Erut Mongolia, which is the four tribes headed by the Junggar tribe. The northern Mongolia of Mohe is the Khalkha Mongolia, which is composed of the Tushetu Khan tribe, the Zasaktu Khan tribe, the Chechen Khan tribe and the Sainnoyan tribe. The fourth brother-in-law, the Khalkha County Prince Dundobdorji, belongs to the Tushetu Khan tribe."
Yinzhen then asked: "Which division of the Khalkha Mongolia borders Tsarist Russia?"
"The four Khalkha Mongolia tribes are all bordering Tsarist Russia, and the Chaktu, who opened trade with Tsarist Russia, was in the Tushetu Khan tribe." Yinxiang said casually.
Seeing that the Thirteenth brother came out, Yinzhen couldn't help but feel strange and smiled and said, "Thirteenth brother seems to be very familiar with Khalkha Mongolia?"
Yinxiang smiled and said, "When I was young, I visited Khalkha Mongolia with Emperor Ama." As he said, he said, "Although the trade between Tsarist Russia and the Qing Dynasty was not very frequent, every time I came, there were huge trade groups, including many horses and cattle. In the 42nd year of the Kangxi reign, their trade in Zhangjiakou had thousands of horses and cattle. If Mongolia did not cooperate, they could consider trade with Tsarist Russia." (To be continued)
