The current Qing Dynasty did not close the country in isolation, but blocked Nanming to a certain extent. It was closed, not actively closed, so there was a siege effect, and I especially wanted to go out and have a look.

What's more, they didn't suffer from their contacts with the English and Spanish people. They introduced a lot of foreign guns and cannons and foreign generals. They were very sharp when they used them to fight the Mongols!

In this case, Dorgon, Fan Wenchen, and even the little emperor Shunzhi sitting next to Bumubutai all wanted to know about the outside world. Oh, the little emperor Shunzhi would soon change his mind because he was about to arrive in Nanjing.

Dongguo Gege, who left the palace in Laoshan, will send Shunzhi a copy of "Primary School French" in the near future.

Shunzhi, who didn't know that he would soon learn French and couldn't learn it any worse than his poet brother Gao Sai, couldn't help but interjected at this time: "How come they are all people with two green flags? Others?"

Won’t Qi send someone there?”

"Emperor!" Bumbutai shouted.

Shunzhi quickly shut up and looked at Dorgon timidly like a child who had made a mistake.

"It's true," Dorgon felt that Shunzhi's words made sense, "then add three more people, three of them are old Manchurians, one was recommended by the Two Red Banners, one was recommended by the Xianglan Banner, and one was sent by the Two Emperors Banner.

In this way, we can all live together, and this means that the five ministers have gone abroad!"

As for the two white flags and the Zhenglan flag being the territory of the three Dorgon brothers, it is enough to have Fan Yongdou with a green flag.

Bumbutai did not raise any objection, but just asked: "Who should be sent?"

"Let's discuss it later at the King's Council meeting tomorrow." Dorgon was already a little tired, so he waved his hand to Fan Wencheng, and Ning Wanmei said, "You two just work hard and prepare a strategy for going abroad. King King Tomorrow

It will be used by the ministers’ meeting.”

The Qing Dynasty is still the regent of Huang Ama and the Nine Banners Collegium, so there are eight political ministers who are eligible to participate in the collegial meeting. The leader of them is Jierharang, the leader of the Xianglan Banner. He was originally the same as Dorgon.

The auxiliary prince, Dorgon, has now been upgraded to Huang Ama, while he has been demoted to the political king, but he is still the head of the eight political kings.

In addition to being the first of the eight political kings, his Xianglan Banner also got a "fief". The Xianglan Banner garrison Angbang Zhangjing Yamen in Kaifeng Prefecture! This Yamen not only manages the army, but also manages the people. Kaifeng Prefecture does not have a prefect, and the garrison Angbang Zhangjing Yamen

Bang Zhangjing is the prefect!

Nowadays, the Qing Dynasty does not have governors, and the provinces have been blurred. They are just geographical names without corresponding yamen. There are only two types of state capitals in the pass. One is directly under the jurisdiction of the state capital, which is directly managed by the council of kings and ministers.

The second is the state capital of Banner, which is the state capital under the jurisdiction of the Nine Banners Garrison Angbang Zhangjing Yamen.

Among them, Zhili Prefecture was mainly concentrated in the original northern Zhili territory, which was regarded as the "heartland" of the Qing Dynasty, while Qili Prefecture was at the forefront.

The Xianglan flag won Kaifeng Prefecture, the Zhenglan flag won Henan Prefecture, the Zhengbai flag won Pingyang Prefecture, the Xiangbai flag won Taiyuan Prefecture, the Zhenghong flag won Ruzhou, the Xianghong flag won Damingfu, the Zhenghuang flag won Zhangde Prefecture, and the Xianghuang flag won Wei

Huifu, Zhengluqi won the three prefectures of Jibei, Dongchang, and Guide, and Xianglvqi won Datong.

Currently, the only areas within the pass that are under the direct control of the Council of Ministers are Shuntian, Yongping, Xuan, Baoding, Hejian, Zhending, Shunde, Guangping, and Lu'an.

Liaozhou, Fenzhou, Qinzhou, Zezhou and other nine prefectures and four prefectures. Moreover, on the territory of these nine prefectures and four prefectures, there are still 20 million acres of flag land. Excluding the flag land under the management of the Eight Banners Gushan Ezhen Yamen, the remaining

About 25 million acres of land were used to pay taxes to the Qing Dynasty. Now the land tax has increased to six cents of flour per mu, and 25 million acres can harvest about 1.5 million stones of flour.

The Xianglvqi who occupied Datong Prefecture did not perform military service, so they had to turn in money and food for exemption from military service. They had about 180,000 shi of flour a year, which was also the income of the Qing court.

The nine imperial merchants all had to pay a tax package to the Qing court. The salt tax of the Jiezhou Salt Fields in Pingyang Prefecture also belonged to the Qing court. The tax revenue of the Jinzhou Mutual Market outside Guan also belonged to the Qing Dynasty.

The state also has some commercial tax revenue, which together brings in about 1.5 million taels of silver a year.

In addition, all Mongolian tribes and banners outside the Pass, Monan, and Khalkha had to pay tribute to the Qing court in terms of cattle, sheep, horses, furs, Dongzhu, and ginseng.

These tributes were not worth much in the first place and could only be exported in small quantities through the Jinzhou Mutual Market. But now there was suddenly a way to make money by exporting to Japan and Spain, and they could also be exchanged for guns that the Qing Dynasty urgently needed. Now eight

The political kings all became excited.

"Emperor Ama, since the fur goods you pay can be exchanged for cannons and muskets, we must have a good relationship with the Japanese country, and we can't lose a big customer."

The leader of the eight kings, King Zheng Jierhalang, was the first to express his position, "I have set up a blue flag so that Minister Lanbai of the Ministry of Industry can go there. He is very familiar with the affairs of the Sauron people and should be able to come in handy."

Tong Jia Lan Bai is a senior general of the Xianglan Banner. When Huang Taiji was in power, he was ordered to conquer the tribes of Sauron and break the city of Yaksa.

"Prince Li, who do you two Hongqi recommend?" Dorgon asked Prince Li Mandahai, who had just assumed the title of Daishan.

Daishan died last winter, and his seventh son Mandahai inherited the title of king and owner of the Zhenghong Banner. The owner of the red flag, King Luo Keduo of Doluopingbi County, was Daishan's great-grandson. Little Mandahai

Of course, the two generations had to listen to Mandahai. So Dorgon did not ask Luo Keduo, who was also the political king, but directly asked Mandahai.

"Huang Ama, please let Dulan, the Duke of Feng'en Town, take a trip!" Mandahai said, "It's time for him to go out and experience the world."

Dulan is the grandson of Daishan and the nephew of Mandahai. His brother Luck Dehun is a strong general of the Zhenghong Banner and has been granted the title of Prince of Shuncheng County, but he is just a master who waits for death.

"Okay," Dorgon didn't have any objections, "Just let Dulan go. As for Two Yellow Flags, do you want Sony to go?"

The flag owner of the two yellow flags is the young emperor Shunzhi. He is currently studying "New Arithmetic" by himself and has no time to discuss national affairs, so the emperor Amadorgun takes the decision.

He smiled and said: "Soni is proficient in four languages: Manchu, Chinese, Mongolian and Tibetan. It can be seen that he is smart and good at learning foreign languages. This ability can be put to good use. Let him learn Japanese on the way to Europe.

You can talk to people there."

Sony needs to study hard now! If you go to Europe for half a year, you have to learn Spanish!

Dorgon continued: "Lanbai, Dulan, Sony, Fan Yongdou, plus Shang Keai, a total of five ministers are serving as imperial envoys to the Western countries. This is the five ministers who have gone abroad!

If you don’t have any objections, this matter has been settled! If there is nothing else, today’s meeting of the king and ministers will be settled as it is.”

"Huang Ama!" Abatai's son Bolo is the political king representing the Zhenglan Banner and is also the Minister of the Ministry of War. "Early this morning, the Ministry of War received a report from General Shengjing's Palace, saying that it was on Sakhalin Island.

There was a conflict with the Japanese."

"What? Sakhalin Island? Japanese?" Dorgon was stunned, "What happened? Didn't we just finish a big deal, so why was there a conflict?"

"Oh, Emperor Ama, the people today are not from that day, not Westerners, but Japanese." Bolo said, "The palace of General Shengjing reported that they are Nurgan Mele Zhangjing from the lower reaches of Heilongjiang River.

When the Yamen sent people to Sakhalin Island to collect mink pelts, they heard reports from the indigenous people of Sakhalin Island that there was a Japanese fort built in the south of the island, so they sent cavalry to investigate. They found a camp built by the Japanese, and they also communicated with the Japanese.
