The 13th year of Kangxi, the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Early in the morning, Yue Le, Zhuobutai, Mingzhu, Feng Pu, Li Xian, Wang Fuchen, Tuhai, Xiong Cilu, Echu, Maleji, Du Lide and other major ministers, ministers of the government, and one and two leaders in Liangjiang. They all gathered in the study of Wuying Hall in the south, waiting to congratulate the New Year to Master Kangxi of Ma Yan.

However, the important officials who came to pay New Year's greetings were all worried because they already knew that the Holy Lord Kang Mazi, who was "beheaded and immortal", was preparing to "drink poison"!

The emperor is about to "drink poison". What should they do, the good servants of the Qing Dynasty? Do you have to pretend to stop them? While everyone was thinking about this problem, Xiao Guizi's voice suddenly rang.

"The Emperor is here!"

Then everyone heard a burst of rapid and powerful footsteps.

The good servants of the Qing Dynasty in Wuying Hall quickly raised their butts and knelt down, kowtowed and shouted: "I respectfully invite the Holy One!"

All are slaves!

Feng Pu, Li Feng, Wang Fuchen, Xiong Cilu and Du Lide, these five Han people now have their own banners, and they are all good servants of the Han army in the Three Banners.

However, slaves still have to distinguish between each other. The Eight Banners Manchus and Eight Banners Mongolia are still much more advanced than the Eight Banners Han Army.

Originally, the number of Han soldiers in the Eight Banners was not large, so the treatment was not much worse than that in the Eight Banners Manchus and the Eight Banners Mongolia. But now the slave gate is wide open, and the Eight Banners Han army has expanded its army. At the same time, the Chen Han army, who became slaves before entering the pass, was carried into the Eight Banners Manchus by Kangxi. The old Eight Banners were repaired. The old Eight Banners were in Jianyang River. The two battles of Sanjiangkou Town suffered heavy losses. If the old Han army was not supplemented, the number of people in the Eight Banners Manchus would be too few than the rapidly expanding Eight Banners Han army.

After the Eight Banners' Old Han Army entered the Eight Banners Manchu, a "Manchu-Han division" appeared within the Eight Banners. If Feng Pu, Li Shi, Wang Fuchen, Xiong Cilu and Du Lide were all New Han Army, and Old Manchu represented by Yue Le, Mingzhu, Zhuobutai, Tuhai, Echu, and Maleji were considered two factions.

The New Han Army thought they were bannermen and should be "slaves equality", while the Old Eight Banners looked down on the New Han Army and believed that they were inferior slaves.

So the two groups of slaves also started to stand together.

Emperor Kangxi had to balance. In addition to Prince An Yue Le who would soon leave Nanjing to Henan to take charge of the overall situation, the ten slaves who gathered in the South Study room today will be named Ministers of the South Study room, including the five old Eight Banners and the five new Han army, which is just in balance.

"Flat, flat!"

Emperor Kangxi's voice sounded with a smile.

Everyone got up and looked up. Then they saw Emperor Kangxi wearing a regular dress, sitting on the imperial throne, smiling with a note. Seeing that the slaves had already gotten up and took the note, they smiled and said, "I just received a note from the governor of Zhejiang Fan Chengmo, saying that a large Western tribute mission came to Ningbo, which was composed of envoys from many Western countries. They were going to come to Nanjing to give a pilgrimage. Everyone said, should they let them come?"

His tone was light and his face was full of joy, but in fact he had given a standard answer.

"Your Majesty, I think this is a good thing," Prince An Yue Le was the first to kneel down and replied, "This is the coming of the tribute of all nations, which shows that the prestige of the Qing Dynasty and the emperor is far-reaching. Westerners all admire the prestige of the Qing Dynasty. It is really gratifying to come from thousands of miles away."

Xiong Cilu, who had vaguely become the number one slave of the New Han army, knelt down the second time, "Your Majesty, the slave also thinks this is a good thing. Now the world is three parts, and there are two big sea mouths of Zhu Ni, Guangzhou and Quanzhou. They do not go to Guangzhou and Quanzhou, but come to Ningbo, which shows that these foreigners regard our Qing Dynasty as the orthodox Chinese, and regard Zhu and Wu Erni as the rebels."

Foreigners love the Qing Dynasty!

There is no way to do this. Even though the Qing Dynasty still implements maritime confinement and the new Ming Dynasty of Zhu Hetong implemented opening up to the outside world, the love of foreigners is still the Qing Dynasty.

The reason is also very simple. They could have "free monopoly trade" with the Qing Dynasty, but they could not engage in the same trade as the New Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, the New Ming Dynasty was actually a dynasty established by the pirates along the coast of Guangdong and Fujian. Therefore, even if this dynasty was fighting against the Qing Dynasty to dominate the world, it still actively supported the three major maritime zero-yuan purchase groups including the Zheng family, the Qiu family, and the Chen family (Chen Shangchuan), and were still working hard to expand the navy.

This series of actions has seriously threatened the existing order on the South China Sea and the collective interests of Western countries.

In addition, the original Confucianism pursued by Zhu Heying posed a great obstacle to the spread of Catholicism. Although Emperor Kangxi also restricted the spread of Catholicism, his position from Zhu Heying, the great Confucian sage, was still different.

As long as Catholicism can strongly support the Qing Dynasty, he is still willing to support the development of Catholicism in China.

But as a Confucian saint, Zhu Hetian wanted to establish a Confucian organization of the "College of the University Hall and Academy", and he also developed a "natural magic" system, which would have a fatal blow to the spread of Catholicism in China. It would even pose a threat to the foundation of Catholicism. The Catholics of this era all opposed believers directly communicating with the Lord (think they had communication), while the natural magic system was directly studying the Lord's omnipotent magic

Kangxi nodded and smiled, "I also think this Western mission is coming very well and has caught up with our Heroes Association. We can also let these foreigners see how the good men of our Qing Dynasty were loyal to the emperor and patriotic!

By the way, I feel that the name of the 'hero' used in the hero club that will be held next month is not appropriate. It sounds a bit like a gangster in the world. Moreover, this hero club was proposed by Wu and Zhu Erni first."

He paused and said, "The people invited to attend the meeting are not heroes now. The main ones are the gentry from Jiangsu, Anhui and Zhejiang provinces, why not change their name to the Landlords Association!"

This name is really realistic!

Because all the heroes went to Jiugong Mountain, it was impossible for those who came to Kangxi for a meeting. Those who could come to the landlords from Jiangsu, Anhui and Zhejiang provinces.

However, the name of the landlord association is still a little bit rustic.

"Emperor," Xiong Cilu knew that this issue could be discussed, so he made a suggestion, "I think that the landlord and the heroes will be the main ones below, which can easily make people misunderstand me, the Qing Dynasty or your Qing Dynasty! No matter who comes to the meeting, no matter what opinions they put forward, they are for the Lord to consult and reference. This authority must be firmly held in the Lord's hands. So I think the name of the Council is more appropriate."

When Kangxi heard this, he thought it was reasonable that heroes would be the heroes to have a meeting, and the landlords would be the landlords to have a meeting. Where should he put him, the Lord of the Ten Thousand Vehicles of the Qing Dynasty?

"Okay!" Kangxi nodded, "Just call the Consulting Council!"

Prince An Yuele asked carefully at this time: "Your Majesty, don't you know what this consulting council is going to discuss?"

Kangxi smiled and said, "There are only three things: one is to handle the new policy; the second is to train the new army; and the third is to organize the group training! Of course, these three things are all one thing in the final analysis, which is to let the gentry from Jiangsu, Anhui and Zhejiang provinces pay money and candy. With these two things, I can train a new army that can protect the Qing Dynasty and protect the interests of our Eight Banners! What do you think?"

"The emperor is wise!"

All the eleven slaves below crawled down and called the sage. Kangxi was not Guangxu! He was a generation of heroes who shot more than 300 little rabbits to death in a day. The Manchurian No. 1 Batulu asked him to lead people to capture him.

Of course he knew that the purpose of the reform was to protect the Qing Dynasty and the Eight Banners!
