Chapter 55 National Instruments
Yinzhen then realized that he was here to celebrate his birthday. He responded quickly and got up. After hearing Kangxi's words, the guard outside immediately walked in with a wooden boat model with a strange shape of more than three feet long. The guard walked to Yinzhen a few steps, knelt on one knee and presented the model with both hands and said, "The Fourteenth Master is forgiven. The servants are responsible for taking it apart without authorization. Please forgive me."
Seeing that the model was intact, Yinzhen breathed a sigh of relief, took it with both hands, and whispered, "No, I'll get a reward when I go back." [The latest updates are all available in the search.]
The sailing model in Yinzhen's hand was actually the sailing warship of the 18th century. However, it was slightly changed to change the head of the ship to a sharp corner. Kangxi's eyes lit up as early as the top of it. He knew that this must be the warship model that Yinzhen was about to build. Li Dequan also noticed Kangxi's expression, but Yinzhen didn't say anything about offering, and he was embarrassed to run down to grab it.
Yinzhen checked the warship model and saw that there was no problem, so he stepped forward and knelt down, "Emperor, this is the model of the main battleship of our Qing Ocean Fleet that Erchen is about to build. This main battleship can have more than 90 red-clothed cannons and load 750 soldiers."
As soon as Yinzhen finished speaking, Li Dequan ran down impatiently. However, Yinzhen was not in a hurry to hand over the model to him, but instead tweaked the mechanism in front of him. Six rows of black hole gun barrels were immediately exposed on both sides of the warship. The model of the sail warship was extremely exquisite, which naturally attracted everyone's attention. Seeing Li Dequan nodding, Yinzhen handed the model to him.
Kangxi was no longer reserved this time, and asked Li Dequan to hold the warship model and look left and right. When he was conquering Taiwan, he spent a lot of money to build a warship and also saw many warship models, but in terms of shape and specifications, he was not comparable at all. When he saw the six rows of black holes on both sides, he asked: "Is this the battleship on the three-layer deck of the Westerners?"
This was actually caused by Yinzhen's words and several old shipmakers working behind closed doors. He bowed and replied, "Go back to Emperor Ama, this was made through the description of Western sailors. It is said to be their latest type of combat ship."
"This should be a giant ship of more than 4,000 materials." Kangxi said yearningly, "The giant ship is launched, and I will go and watch it in person."
When Yinzhen heard this, he was overjoyed. This was Kangxi's most powerful support. He knelt down and thanked, "Thank you, Emperor Ama, I will definitely build a mighty and majestic ocean fleet to welcome Emperor Ama's inspection."
"Okay, I hope to ride this ocean-going fleet seven times to Jiangnan." Kangxi smiled with relief, "Xeng Beizi Yinzhen, loyal to the state affairs, worked diligently, and promoted Beile."
Uh, it's Baylor again? Yinzhen was busy thanking him again.
The princes and ministers in the hall were speechless. In less than a cup of tea, the title of Beile was changed and then awarded. It is a famous national weapon. You and your father and son like to play. We dare not interfere or have the right to interfere. But can you two play behind closed doors and don’t play in front of us? We are almost heart disease caused by your father and son.
But Mu Dan, the left censor of the Censorate, cursed Xu Yuanzheng in his heart, "Impossess you, you're fined for one year and demoted to the third level to remain in office. The Beile who was dismissed was rewarded in a blink of an eye. He is such a fool, is it more than money? You are a poor official in the capital, compared with a millionaire.
Tong Guowei, Ma Qi and several other ministers in the study heard Kangxi say they had to go to Jiangnan seven times, and they suddenly felt weak. Jiangnan was now arguing about your deficit in going south. They were still going to Jiangnan, and would they let people live?
Kangxi would not care about the thoughts of the princes and ministers. He said to Yinzhen in a whisper, "I will write a letter next time I want to come back. The court's rules cannot be trampled on. I will not give you this title so easily. Since I am back this time, I will stay home for a few days and take all your naval cadets away when I leave. They are not that delicate."
After leaving the palace, he returned home and took a shower. Before he could comfort his family, He Zhuer from the Bagu’s Mansion came to the door. He heard that the ninth and tenth brothers were already waiting at the Bagu’s Mansion, and Yinzhen was not willing to neglect it, so he had to say hello to the concubines and hurried to the Lianbeile Mansion of Taijichang, Dongcheng District.
Along the way, Yinzhen couldn't help but re-examine his relationship with the Eighth Master Party. Because of his low background, his starling was particularly passionate about power. He was definitely not as determined by the Yellow River. The Ninth Brother was both the best in business and money-making, and he also had a high opinion of himself. He did not have the intention to covet it? The Tenth Brother is the most valuable in his status besides the crown prince. If he didn't have this intention, why should he get into this muddy water? His foundation is still shallow and not rich. Although he was protected by Kangxi, it was too early to take advantage of the throne in the Eighth Master Party. He wanted to take the lead in the Eighth Master Party. He was too early to endure and endure. When the prince collapsed and the starling brother gave up, he could take advantage of the momentum. In this way, he could not only attract people's hearts and gain strong support, so that he could compete with the Fourth Brother or even Kangxi in the future.
As soon as Yinzhen entered Lianbeile Mansion, Yinsi, Yinzhen and Yinyi came out. Yinzhen hurriedly stepped forward to greet the three of them one by one. After the greetings, Yinsi smiled and said to Yinzhen: "We have prepared a banquet for you. We have not been together for almost half a year. Today, we are gathering well in the name of washing you."
As soon as the banquet started, Yinsi raised his glass and said to Yinzhen: "Fourth brother, I have been working hardest this year. Come on, I wish you the first cup first."
Yinzhen was not willing to be so arrogant, so he quickly stood up and said, "Brother, this is a shame. Over the years, it has been the starryer for us to shelter us from the wind and rain. It is the honor of the fourteenth. Come on, Brother Ninth and Brother Ten, let us three brothers respect Brother Ninth and Brother Ten together."
When the ninth elder saw that Yinzhen was not arrogant or impatient, he regarded his starling as his respect, so he responded with his voice.
Yinsi couldn't help but look up to Yinzhen in his heart. The Fourteenth brother is making great progress now. It's better that his weight in the heart of Emperor Ama can be increased a little more. He smiled and said, "Hehe, I'm just welcome the fourteenth brother today. Let's not be respectful to me, just take care of it." As he said that, he drank it all.
After three rounds of drinking, the old Jiu Yinzhen asked tentatively, "Fourth brother, you have opened up the situation in Shanghai now. Jiu Ge is wondering, should our power penetrate into Jiangnan?"
What does it mean? Want to reach my Shanghai? Yinzhen pondered for a moment, put down his wine glass and looked at Yinsi, "Brother, the current situation in the capital is not too clear. I wonder if we are too eye-catching, will it backfire?"
Yinsi figured out what Yinzhen meant when he heard this. Now Yinzhen is alone in Shanghai, and Kangxi is strongly supported. But if he waits for another kick, Kangxi will have to be careful. This is indeed a bad game. Therefore, he looked at Yinzhen with a smile, "The 14th brother is very worried, and the ninth brother is not thinking about what he said. As the saying goes, things will turn back, too much is worse than too much. Emperor Ama is a master of balance."
Before Yinzhen could speak, Yinzhen smiled and said, "Brother Ninth wants to be able to draw someone, but Fourteen has another idea."
