Unparalleled Fortune in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 422
When Yinzhen ascended the throne, he changed his year name to Yongzheng, and Zhezi from the Ministry of Rites asked many of his brothers to change "Yin" to "Yun", but Yinzhen refused, it was unnecessary, and he didn't care about it.

His actions after he ascended the throne were much bigger than when Kangxi was in power. In the first year, he only carried out reforms in the internal system of the Qing Dynasty. Naturally, the difficulty was not small, but he laid a good foundation. Born in a "poor family".

This "poor family" is not a poor family with a poor family in the traditional sense, but a family with some assets, but there is no messy relationship.

Such a person is most suitable for use during the special period of reform.

Yinzhen's big move naturally affected the interests of many people, and there were also those who wanted to make him feel bad. They wanted to eat for a few more years, and went to the Emperor Kangxi, who was already the Supreme Emperor, to sow right and wrong.

Although Kangxi was indeed not used to an overly leisurely life, he could still tell the difference between right and wrong. No, the courtiers who had just told Kangxi that Yinzhen did too much and didn't worry came out of Changchun Garden one by one with swollen buttocks.

Now everyone understood that Kangxi had really delegated power to his son, so it was impossible to sow dissension. They were honest for a while, and Yinzhen made another move. In this way, Yinzhen carried out the reform bit by bit.

In the third year of Yongzheng, the shipbuilder made achievements. With the help of the firecrackers and his own cannons, the new ships could become warships. Yinzhen was overjoyed, and then ordered the already experienced navy to be a new warship.

After the Zhenping navy got used to it, it was already the beginning of the fourth year of Yongzheng.

In the spring of this year, Yinzhen formally sent troops to the Japanese country on the grounds that the Japanese country sent officers and soldiers to pretend to be Japanese pirates to burn, kill and plunder the fishermen along the coast of the Qing Dynasty.

The Japanese kingdom is not very big, and the level of the palm-sized place is worse than that of the previous Qing Dynasty. The Zhenping navy with rich experience and the latest warships naturally hits one target, but within two months, the Japanese kingdom surrendered, and the emperor sent envoys. The minister, with the letter of surrender, went to the Qing Dynasty to seek peace.

In July, Yinzhen met Shichen from the Wa Kingdom.

"I have seen the emperor."

When Yinzhen saw that the courtiers were practicing the etiquette of the Qing Dynasty, he thought of the distorted faces of the Japanese devils massacring the people in the dream. It was a bit complicated. A small country the size of a bullet, who would have thought that hundreds of years later it would raise its troops against the land of Kyushu. .

Blame this piece of land is too rich?

It's weird lack of heart.

Yinzhen didn't have the idea of ​​repaying grievances with kindness. In his dream, he saw a Japanese devil kill a crying baby with a bayonet, and the reason was because he thought it was too noisy.

Because he thought the baby was too noisy, he killed the baby. There are many unreasonable things like this. Those bloody scenes, even if it was a dream, Yinzhen will never forget.

After a long time, Yinzhen let the envoy who was kneeling in front of him stand up.

The envoy stood up tremblingly. He knew that this was an attack, but as a defeated country, he could only bear it.

At this time, the Qing Dynasty was much stronger than the Wa Kingdom.

At this time, opium has not yet entered this fertile land. Most of the people in this land work hard to get rich. Most of them are simple. Most of the men will spend a lot of effort to support their families. Maybe there is some inconspicuous existence , but will definitely not be called the sick man of East Asia.

Therefore, when the Japanese envoys faced Yinzhen, they were timid and afraid, especially when they had just been dismounted.

"The emperor sent us to apologize to the Qing Dynasty. The pirates ran rampant along the coast of the Qing Dynasty. Although those pirates were my subjects, they were all criminals who were exiled. They escaped from the island where they were exiled. For this time, the Emperor sincerely apologizes, and asks for your understanding."

Yinzhen said with a cold face: "You also said that those Japanese pirates are from your Japanese country. If I forgive you at will, how can I comfort the souls of those who were killed by Japanese pirates along the coast of the Qing Dynasty?"

When Yinzhen said this, his tone was very unhappy.

An apology lightly and flutteringly wanted to turn a blind eye to the blood, but Yinzhen couldn't do it.

The envoy also knew that coming here would not be easy, and finally, the envoy got to the point.

"At this time, our country is indeed inconsiderate. I came here to reach a settlement with the emperor. The emperor said that the people on the coast of the Qing Dynasty will compensate for the loss of our country. I heard that your country is a country of etiquette. If you want to come, the emperor should be willing. Give our country a chance to make an apology."

Put a top hat on him?
Yinzhen doesn't like this, the state of etiquette only exists for the state of friendship.

Wa country?

Count it!
The final result was naturally that the envoy went back to the post station where he temporarily lived in despair.

The envoy's face was extremely ugly after returning, but he didn't dare to lose his temper at all. The purpose of this trip was to get the understanding of the Qing emperor.

After Yinzhen learned about this from the steward of the station, he was much happier.

Tong Cheng'er: "You met the Japanese envoy today, are you going to leave him alone?"

In fact, the Japanese envoy has been here for quite a while, and Yinzhen saw him for the first time today.

"It's almost there. The country of Wa is too small. I am afraid that my brother will be wronged if the soldiers are stationed there."

Tong Cheng'er smiled: "Then what are you going to do?"

How to do?
Naturally, it will be dealt with harshly.

It took about half a month, and after a series of negotiations, the final result was that the country of Wa would pay 500 million taels of silver to the Qing Dynasty every year, and the special products of the country of Wa would pay tribute to the Qing Dynasty in a fixed number. Someone specially made a list, and the things on it are naturally rare.

The country of Wa allowed the Qing army to station...etc.

However, Yinzhen specially ordered the garrison troops not to bully the ordinary people of the Wa Kingdom with violence.

To say that this is Yinzhen's "benevolence" is not to say, he does not have so much truth, kindness and beauty. He did this because he felt that such behavior was not done by a gentleman, and he was afraid of the violent resistance of ordinary people in the country of Japan.

After all, where there is oppression, there is resistance.

Yinzhen only asked the Wa Kingdom to pay tribute and indemnity a fixed amount every year, and the garrison was also based on the reason of preventing the Wa Kingdom from sending soldiers pretending to be Japanese pirates to endanger the Qing Dynasty again.

In this way, the Emperor of Japan will face a double problem.

First, he had to face the dominance of the Qing Dynasty, and second, he had to face ordinary people's condemnation of the government's incompetence. After all, the Qing Dynasty wanted so much that the emperor could only oppress ordinary people.

In this way, the contradiction will be shifted.

　Not surprisingly, I will be able to get my graduation certificate tomorrow afternoon.
