Chapter 215 Navy expansion

Yinzhen asked to visit the eldest prince Yinzhen, who was in the forbidden circle. The news that Kangxi allowed the princes to visit during the New Year Festival spread the following day. In the palace, the biological mother of the eldest prince Yinzhen, Nala, was the first to learn about this news. She was naturally full of gratitude to Yinzhen and hurriedly condemned the confidant eunuch to inform several grandchildren of the good news in the palace.

When Concubine De Wu Ya heard the news, he was also very comforted. The Fourteenth Prince had this mind and did not worry about the difficulty of getting along with his brothers in the future. The other concubines with princes also praised Yinzhen. At present, a group of princes competed for the crown prince, and the power was like fire and the throne could be only one. Who can guarantee that his son would not have any worries about being banned? [.]

The princes outside the palace had different thoughts. As the saying goes, the king succeeded and the enemy failed to make a fortune, and the boss failed to make a fortune, and the end of the situation was also his own fault. No one would sympathize with him. From the prince to the Thirteenth Old, including the three brothers of the eighth Old, there was no favoritism for the eldest brother, and there were many who hated him to the core.

Upon hearing this news, the princes secretly blamed the fourteenth for being troubled. Kangxi has always attached great importance to filial piety and advocated kindness in his father, filial piety, and respectful brothers. Although he did not like the eldest prince, he was the elder brother after all. If he did not visit him, he would inevitably have the bad impression of no friendship in Kangxi's heart. He was the busiest every day, and he had to take time to pinch his nose to visit the eldest brother, and everyone was unhappy.

The Crown Prince Yinreng, who had long expected that he would be banned, was most deeply moved by this. The Fourteenth's vision and methods were really unspeakable. No one among the brothers could compete with him. Even a person who was worthless like the boss, the Fourteenth could make a big fuss, which was really unexpected.

The third and fourth brothers' tricks of currying against Kangxi on weekdays are immediately different from the old fourteenth tricks. Even the old fourteenth brothers who have nothing to do with him can care about him and be respectful and friendly, let alone Kangxi and other brothers? This is the true benevolence and filial piety.

Thinking of this, Yinreng couldn't help but feel worried. With the eyes and means of the Fourteenth Old, if Kangxi did not pass on him, there would be a big dispute. The Fourteenth Old is rich, soldiers and famous now. If he had developed for a few more years, the brothers would be unable to match him.

It is snowing heavily in Beijing, dry and cold, but the winter in Shanghai is wet and cold.

At this time, Kangxi's decree to draw elite soldiers from the Fujian Navy, Chongming Navy, Nantai Navy Camp, and Zhejiang Zhapu Navy Camp have already been transmitted to the Navy's camp. After receiving the decree, the chief officers of each navy did not dare to be negligent, so they immediately dispatched elite soldiers to Shanghai. The Fourteenth Master is now very popular, and he has no benefit in his crime. Besides, if these soldiers go to Shanghai, they can still give up empty salaries, so why not do it?

At the same time, in the coastal prefectures and counties, the "Four Great Heng" semicolons also posted notices of the navy recruiting young sailors. Once the notice was posted, it immediately caused a sensation. Who wouldn't know that the navy in Shanghai was paid high, and it also had good food and good clothes. It used to be no way out, but now it is an expansion of recruitment, and a group of young sailors immediately became interested.

Although it has reached the end of the year, with the expansion of the navy's enrollment, the Honggang area has become increasingly busy. Iron smelting plants, foundries, firearms, clothing factories, shipyards, gunpowder workshops and other factories show no signs of annual holidays, and they are working day and night. Navy students are taking batches of calls, and new ships are also being launched one by one. The dull gunshots and rumbling cannons can be heard in the target area every day, and the daily consumption is quite amazing. These factories and workshops dare not relax at all, but only processing money attracts a group of craftsmen.

No one complained about the craftsmen. Everyone knew in their hearts that if they took leave and went home, they would be afraid that there would be no place. Honggang is not the scene when they first came. Every day, many people are waiting to enter these factories and workshops. Everyone knows that the wages are high and the treatment is good.

Zheng Qinghai is now in Honggang's general ledger. Faced with the silver that flows out every day like water, he always sighs to the sky and regrets it. He spends so much money to build an ocean fleet. What is the day when it is the end? I really don't know what the Fourteenth Master thinks? It's also a loss to the Fourteenth Master, otherwise no one can withstand such consumption. This ocean fleet is purely a gold-swalking beast.

Naval Academy.

The playground was still busy, and rows of people dressed in messy clothes were conducting queue training. The second Naval cadets had just been completed. Soldiers from various naval divisions and young sailors recruited began intense queue training, and new people were constantly joining in every day.

The second class of students has finished their queue training and has begun to turn to various learning, skills training and training of muskets and cannons. The first class of students have gone out to sea to conduct practical operation of sailing warships and live ammunition shooting.

Since Yinzhen left, he told him that he would start to fight the pirates next year, the entire Naval Academy immediately became excited, especially the clans, who worked hard for two years and finally saw the opportunity to achieve military achievements. How could he not be excited?

The first old students were also excited. They not only longed for military achievements, but also for wealth. The dean said that the naval cadets will be the richest soldiers of the Qing Dynasty in the future. The navy will be formed one day earlier, and their dreams will be realized one day earlier.

The students in high spirits immediately fought for the training opportunities to board the ship. Finally, Wu Ge made a decision and replaced all the ten warships borrowed from the Fujian Navy and the cannons on the sail warship they bought with rear-load guns, and went out to sea for training together, which resolved the dispute.

Yande led the team to go out to train, while Wu Ge was responsible for the training of new students in the academy, and was also responsible for collecting various types of information at sea in Shanghai, selecting targets for the expedition and suppression, and also selecting sailors. He was busy all day long and was busy.

On December 21, government agencies across the country began to "seal" annual leave, and the second issue of the Beijing News also spread to Shanghai. The transfer order issued by the Ministry of Personnel was also issued by the Ministry of Personnel. Xu Shizhen was promoted to the magistrate of Shanghai to the magistrate of Taiwan Prefecture and the magistrate of Fengshan County, and was appointed as the editor of the Hanlin Academy Cha Siting to take over as the magistrate of Shanghai.

Tongzhi was the deputy magistrate of the prefect, the fifth rank. Xu Shizhen suddenly promoted from the seventh rank to the fifth rank Tongzhi. Although he was still the magistrate, the rank rank was raised by two levels, which was extremely super-transferred. Although Yinzhen said before parting, he wanted to mention his level, but Xu Shizhen did not expect to mention two levels at once, and he was naturally very grateful.

Chen Pengnian and Wanyan Haifeng both knew the importance of the Fourteenth Master to Taiwan, but they did not expect that Xu Shizhen would be transferred to Taiwan again. Both of them knew that the Fourteenth Master was decisive and decisive. Since Xu Shizhen received the order of transfer, he would probably set off soon, so they held a banquet at Tianranju that day to celebrate and have a farewell.

After receiving the advice from Chen Pengnian and Wanyan Haifeng, Xu Shizhen naturally did not dare to be negligent. He hurriedly arrived at the 'Tianranju'. As soon as he got off the sedan chair, he saw Wanyan Haifeng standing at the door. He felt a little warm and hurriedly took a few steps, bowed and bowed. Seeing the following gifts, Wanyan Haifeng smiled and stepped forward and mixed with him, and said with a smile: "No need to be polite. Today's banquet is specially set to celebrate you. Let's go, Lord Chen is waiting inside."

On the third floor, the three of them greeted each other and sat down. After another polite controversy, Wanyan Haifeng got to the point, "I wonder when Lord Xu will leave for Taiwan to take office?"

Xu Shizhen put down his wine glass and smiled and said, "The officials are about to report this matter to Lord Wanyan. The new Shanghai magistrate Cha Siting is far away in the capital. I don't know when he will take office. In the case of Fengshan County, the officials know a little about it. The officials of Fujian who have been removed only have as many as 200,000 hungry people in Fujian. I want to leave in the past two days to make sure that the matter handed over by the Shanghai County Government will be troubled by Lord Wanyan..."

"This is no problem." Wanyan Haifeng continued: "But it's the end of the year now, why can Lord Xu start again after the New Year?"

"Sir, I don't know that after the beginning of the year, the sea boats will start to go out to sea. It will be difficult to rent a boat again." Xu Shizhen said with a smile.

Chen Pengnian said, "It's okay to celebrate the New Year every year, and it's okay to spend one year less. Fengshan is in a complicated situation. Most of the resigned local officials will not take care of the matter. Going one day earlier and rest assured one day earlier. It's a good wind now. If you go to Fengshan well, it will only take more than ten days."

"Mr. Chen said very much." Xu Shizhen stood up and raised his glass and said, "It is not easy to meet each other now. Please give me a cup to the two masters."

"That may not be." Wanyan Haifeng chuckled and said, "I have a suggestion that Lord Xu can prepare two Clippers in Fengshan and make a special trip between Shanghai."

Xu Shizhen immediately looked embarrassed and hesitated: "The salary of the subordinates is not enough for the Clippers' expenses."

"Why do you pay for it with Lord Xu? The Fourteenth Master attaches great importance to Taiwan. Just do it first." Wanyan Haifeng said, and drank the wine in one gulp, put down the wine glass and said, "When you arrive in Fengshan, if you have any demand, just open your mouth. Yu Duxian from Shanghai, Xiamen Fujian Customs, and Shi Junmen from Fujian Navy will do your best to help."

It turns out that it is easy to become an official, Xu Shizhen couldn't help but sigh, and stood up and raised his glass and thanked: "Don't worry, two sirs, the officials will definitely take care of Fengshan in order."

Chen Pengnian nodded and pondered: "The 14th Master immigrated to Taiwan in one fell swoop. A few days ago, the emperor relaxed his policy of entering Taiwan. These are signals to fully develop Taiwan. You go to Fengshan, not to maintain success, but to create. Don't have other ideas, calm down and do things. I guess you have great potential in Taiwan, and don't let the 14th Master down."

When Xu Shizhen heard that the court intended to fully develop Taiwan, he was very excited. Taiwan is only one government and three counties now. Since it is fully developed, it is very likely to be upgraded. Wouldn't he follow the waters to rise? It turned out that the Fourteenth Master had arranged for him to go to Taiwan, and there was this meaning behind it. He hurriedly stood up and said, "The emperor respects Lord Chen's teachings and will definitely not let down the Fourteenth Master's love."
