Chapter 540: Recommending Generals

Seeing that Yinzhen was a little hesitant, Kangxi knew that he had conflicted with this and pondered a little, he said: "Korea is just a small country. It has always been a big country. It has always been a big country, and it is like this for the former Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty. Since the signing of the brotherly alliance in the first year of Tiancong, it has been respectful and polite for all the ministers. For the past hundred years, the country has respected and followed the alliance, not built cities, and did not train troops. For the Qing Dynasty, it is not a defense. It is easy to get it into the opposite position. Why should we hurry up and wait for a moment?"

After a moment of pause, he continued: "Treat the vassal states, it is nothing more than the word "restraint". In recent years, the Qing Dynasty has been fighting and has no time to take care of itself. It focuses on winning over the vassal states. Now that the country is prosperous and the people are safe, the military is strong, it will naturally become a restraint...

The larger the territory of the Qing Dynasty, the more powerful the vassal states will be, and the more complicated the relationship between the clan and vassal states will be, but it is ultimately inseparable from the restraint Chapter 540

Recommended generals, the Korean vassal state is the most successful example of the vassal state since the founding of the Qing Dynasty. The envoys of the new and old vassal states who come to Beijing to pay tribute should communicate with them more, and the effect of replacing troops without fighting and beating others will be particularly effective for the vassal states that are tasteless and discarded."

It turned out that Kangxi had thought so. Yinzhen was quite distracted. If he wanted to set an example, he could find another vassal state. North Korea must be destroyed. This time he learned his lesson and bowed without hesitation and said, "The teachings of Emperor Ama, my ministers must remember them in their hearts."

Kangxi's head was slightly slight, but he stopped talking. The Navy won a huge victory at a small price in the battle against Japan and received huge compensation, which would inevitably encourage the Elder Fourteen to promote the ambition of expanding the navy and the warlike princes and ministers in the court to expand outward. Longkodo escorted gold to the market, and the Beijing News made a series of propaganda to build momentum.

It is a good thing to have ambitions, but it cannot follow the footsteps of Yuanmeng. No matter how wide the territory is, it is in vain to be unable to effectively control and govern, and it is useless to waste national strength. The land of Southeast Asia and Australia is vast and sparsely populated, and it is a land without a home, so large-scale immigration can be firmly controlled. However, the South Asia vassals and North Korea, Japan has a large population and a long history. It is obviously unrealistic to use immigration to control it, and it is not difficult to assimilate them.

Meeting Kangxi for a while Chapter 540

The general was recommended without saying a word. Yinzhen said, "Report to Emperor Ama, the lords of each banner and the princes and ministers begged Emperor Ama to condemn people to go to Tianjin to manage the flag affairs of each banner."

When Kangxi heard this, he was immediately happy. These banner owners were not a good-looking person. They dared to send people to Tianjin to manage the banner affairs. However, this method is good and can maintain the status quo. No one should have the idea of ​​these tens of thousands of banner people. He pondered slightly, and then he asked calmly: "What do you think about this matter?"

Seeing that Kangxi did not directly object, but kicked the ball back with one kick, Yinzhen thought to himself that there was a play. After pondering a little, he calmly said: "The court has a system. The relatives and nobles of the royal family were not allowed to leave the capital without following the orders. The Eight Banners also had a system. The people of the banners were not allowed to leave the banners forty miles without leaving the banners. However, as the saying goes, the times changed, and the banners had changed. Since the banners entered the military workshop in Tianjin, it was a natural move for each banner to condemn the people to Tianjin to manage the banner affairs. My sons agreed."

Kangxi glanced at Yinzhen in surprise. Old Fourteen did not intend to annex these tens of thousands of bannermen? He was not moved with such a good opportunity? Or did he have other plans? He pondered for a moment and said, "It is expected that the owners of each banner are worried that the people of Tianjin's flags will escape from control. If they are not allowed, each banner will doubt that this is a deliberate annexation and weakening the strength of each banner, which will inevitably conflict.

The bannermen entered the Tianjin Army Workshop to fundamentally solve the livelihood of the bannermen. It is important to be serious, how can they lose the big picture because of small things? If things are minor and urgent, it should not be conservative. When Tianjin goes to the capital, it will be fast to arrive in one day, and the court does not worry about losing control. If they ask, they will choose a noble person from each flag to station in Tianjin to take charge of the affairs of each flag."

When Yinzhen heard Kangxi's reply so happily, he was surprised and said, "My son respects the order."

Kangxi was also relieved when he took a sip of tea and changed the topic, "The new Imperial Guard Army is about to be formed, so do you have any recommended candidates for this general?"

Yinzhen was prepared for this matter. After hearing Kangxi mentioned it, he still pondered for a while before saying: "There are two purposes for forming a new imperial guard army. One is to guard the capital, and the other is to sweep the northwest. The generals of the guard capital also asked the Emperor Ama Sheng Jue to march into the northwest. The son-in-law thought that he should choose a young general who was familiar with the situation in the northwest. The son-in-law recommended Nian Gengyao and Yue Zhongqi."

Needless to say, Kangxi heard the name of Yue Zhongqi mentioned by Lao Sisi, the son of the Sichuan Admiral Yue Shenglong. Unexpectedly, Lao Sioux appreciated him so much. Both of them had served in Sichuan and could only say that they had some understanding of the Northwest. After all, they were young and had limited experience. After a moment of pondering, Kangxi asked: "Why should the Northwest choose young generals?"

Yinzhen replied in a deep voice: "Returning to the emperor, I personally think that the northwest not only has the ambitious Mongolian tribes in the Moxi, but also the strongest opponent of the Qing Dynasty, Tsarist Russia. We must be prepared for long-term combat or even large-scale combat. Based on this point, young generals must be selected to train them. In this way, there is no need to worry about the lack of generals in the northwest for at least decades."

When Kangxi heard that Yinzhen used Russia as the strongest opponent in the future, he was slightly moved. Yinzhen said it once in the morning court two days ago, but he didn't care. He thought it was just Yinzhen's alarmist statement and deliberately intimidated the court officials in order to rectify the flag. Now it seems that Lao Si Si is not a false threat.

After pondering for a moment, Kangxi said: "Since the spearhead of Tsarist Russia's expansion is Europe, why did it turn to the northwest of the Qing Dynasty?"

"Not only the northwest, but also the northeast." Yinzhen said with confidence: "With the opening of new routes and the discovery of the Americas, sea trade has become the main way of trade for various countries, but Tsarist Russia is an inland country with no sea outlet, which is unbearable for the ambitious Tsarist Russia. His purpose of trying to expand outward in recent years is quite clear, which is to seize sea outlets.

In the battle between Tsarist Russia and the Nordic power Sweden in Europe and the Nordic power, it was a good example of the Baltic Sea. The reason why Tsarist Russia turned its spearhead and pointed its finger at the northwest and northeast of the Qing Dynasty was because there were estuaries in both directions. Among them, the Black Sea, which is in the northwest direction, is better than the Baltic Sea in terms of geographical location, and Tsarist Russia must take it quickly."

Kangxi knew that the world geography of the world was far from Yinzhen. He frowned for a while before hesitating: "The place in the Black Sea should be far from Junggar, right?"

"It's far away, but if Tsarist Russia stands in the Black Sea, it will naturally expand to all directions. It is not ruled out that they will collude with the Mongolians in the West of the Demon." The old god Yinzhen said, behind the rebellion of Junggar, there was a shadow of Tsarist Russia. He paused slightly, and he continued: "Once Tsarist Russia is withdrawn from Europe, the Ottoman Empire and our Qing Empire will be his next target. This is an opponent that is evenly matched with our Qing Dynasty. He must be completely hurt to ensure the peace of the northwest and northeast of the Qing Dynasty." q
