Thinking of this, Emperor Kangxi said to the third-class guard Deng Zhong: "Deng Zhong, go to Taihe Gate to call Shi Lang for me!"

"Yeah!"

Deng Zhong responded, immediately left Nanshu, and then ran to the duty room outside Taihe Gate to find Shi Lang.

Today is not an ordinary day and it’s almost the New Year!

Today is the last day of court before the New Year holiday. As soon as the court breaks out, Taihe Gate will have to be closed for a few days. Shi Lang, the secretary who is watching the gate, can go home and rest. Maybe he will rush to take the holiday and leave in advance. At that time, toilets will have to fill Beijing with him. How troublesome?

However, this toilet was lucky. When he ran all the way to the room outside the Taihe Gate gate, Shi Lang was humming a Minnan tune and packing things there and preparing to leave.

Seeing Ma Tangzhong breathing and pushing the door in, Shi Lang was also stunned, "Guard Deng, you are."

Deng Zhong said while panting: "Biography, biography, the emperor says you will go to Nanshu!"

"Transfer to me? Now?" Shi Lang seemed a little unwilling to do so. He was about to leave, so why did he still have to work overtime?

He also made an appointment with several other ministers and ministers in charge of the inner court, and later he went to the Pimp Hutong near Dashilan to have flower wine. Recently, a few "singers" came to the Pimp Hutong. His first-class appearance was almost as good as the real courtesan lady. Shi Lang also wanted to see him!

By the way, the so-called little singer, also known as prostitute, is a male person who holds hands for a paid time anyway!

In the early Qing Dynasty, it was very disciplined and it was not allowed to open brothels in Beijing. However, Dorgon and Dodo, who had just entered the city, were all local buns. They thought brothels were just places for fallen women to sell themselves and laugh, but they didn't expect men and men to do it too!

As a result, there have been no women in Beijing for many years, but "small singing" has become a bit rampant.

When Deng Zhong saw Shi Lang being slow, he hurriedly went up to pull him, and said while pulling him, "Mr. Shi! You are going to be a big use! Tu Zhongtang just recommended you to the emperor to be the admiral of the Fujian Navy."

"What? What did you say?" Shi Lang couldn't believe his ears. He had been idle for so many years, and now he finally had a chance to be of great use?

"Admiral of the Fujian Navy!" Deng Zhong said, "I'll be yours!"

"Emperor, is the emperor going to destroy the fake Yanping Palace?" Shi Lang's big face suddenly rolled in murderous aura, which scared Deng Zhong.

"No, it's not a fight against Zheng Jing," Deng Zhong waved his hand quickly, "The emperor wants you to fight against the third prince Zhu and the third grandson of Zhu in Guangdong!"

"That's fine!" Shi Lang gritted his teeth, "The person with the surname Zhu is the boss with the surname Zheng, so he deserves to die!"

When Shi Lang, an unreliable slave, was called into the Nan Study Room to kowtow to Emperor Kangxi, the young master looked at General Shi carefully while thinking about who should be guarded against him.

This Shi Lang looks unreliable! He has a big white face, a hooked nose, small eyes, and a mustache that is worthy of a four or five ministers. No wonder he is so capricious!

"Shi Lang," Seeing Shi Lang kowtowing with excitement, Emperor Kangxi asked directly, "You have been in Fujian and Guangdong for many years, have you ever recognized the third prince Zhu and the third grandson of Zhu?"

"Return to the emperor's words," Shi Lang shook his head, "I don't recognize them. When I surrendered to my Qing Dynasty for the second time, the third prince Zhu and his son had not yet caused trouble in Danan Mountain. If I remember correctly, they should have run from Wen'an City to Danan Mountain in the thirteenth year of Shunzhi. At that time, the slave was still in Beijing, and later when the slave was released from the Fujian Navy Admiral, he heard about this group of traitors. However, at that time they were not aware that they were the third prince Zhu and the third grandson of Zhu, but they were just the remnants of the pseudo-Tang Palace."

Kangxi said again: "I have read your "Border Disasters Yijing Shu" and "All the Secrets of What I See" these days, and I feel it is very insightful! But now it is not the reality of cross-sea platforms. The third prince and the third grandson of Zhu, who are entrenched in the four coastal counties of Chaozhou, are the major troubles of the court. If I ask you to assist the Minister of the Imperial College, Mi Sihan, what are your good plans to combat the thieves?"

Although Kangxi was very dissatisfied with Misihan, he did not remove him from his position as an imperial envoy. Because Kangxi could not find a good general who could replace him for a while, and he also knew that Misihan's imperial envoy was not easy.

Most of the Qing soldiers in Guangdong were in the hands of the Pingnan Prince's Mansion and Liu Jinzhong, Zu Zeqing, Yan Ziming and Miao Zhixiu, who were respectful to the army. Only the model soldiers of the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Jin Guangzu and the Governor of Guangdong Liu Bingquan, as well as the flag soldiers of the Xushun Gongfu, were completely loyal to the Qing Dynasty.

In this case, it is difficult for anyone to be the imperial envoy.

To besiege the four coastal counties of Chaozhou, it is not enough to rely on the green camp soldiers on the land alone. The navy must cooperate, otherwise the initiative will be with the third prince and the third grandson of Zhu!

The Qing Dynasty navy in Fujian, Guangdong was not worth mentioning at all! Because after Su Dadu was suppressed by the Qing court, the navy in Guangdong and Fujian were led by a group of old men who were fainting when boarding the ship, and they couldn't even get out of the sea. How could they beat big pirates like Qiu Hui, Chen Shangchuan, Liu Guoxuan, and Jiang Sheng?

"Emperor!" At this time, Shi Lang had already thought about it. He said to Kangxi, "I have also been paying attention to news from the south these days. In my opinion, the third grandson of Zhu San is indeed brave and good at fighting, and the military tactics and divine thunder handed down by Zhuge Liang were helpful. Unless the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers were mobilized, it would be impossible for the Lu Army in the Green Camp to defeat them quickly.

However, Guangdong's climate is hot and humid, and it is a place for miasma and dysentery. The Eight Banners soldiers are all northerners and cannot get used to the climate in Guangdong. They are prone to diseases after going there."

This step is not that it is hard to beat, it is because it is hot!

Kangxi and the Manchu ministers in Nan’s study nodded repeatedly, expressing their agreement, they are all afraid of heat!

Kangxi asked with a smile: "Shi Lang, if you have any good solutions, just tell me quickly!"

Shi Lang said: "Your Majesty, I found that although this Grandson Zhu San is good at fighting, he is proficient in land warfare, not water warfare!

Moreover, I have been watching "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in the duty room outside Taihe Gate these days, and found that Zhuge Liang didn't seem to be able to fight a water battle, otherwise when Liu Bei attacked the Eastern Wu, he followed him and defeated Lu Xun's naval army. Wouldn't everything be fine?"

Kangxi slapped his thigh, "You're right! Shi Lang, I've really read you wrong!"

Well, the room outside the Taihe Gate is where the Interior Minister works, Shi Lang, the First-rank Interior Minister, is responsible for watching the gate. He has to watch it carefully, so that the assassin can swagger into the Taihe Gate and kill the emperor!

But he didn't read the door well, and he used his working hours to read the novels and read all the four great books. Now his boss Kangxi knew about it, and he was even more applauded if he didn't let someone chop his head!

This best employer turned out to be Emperor Kangxi!

Encouraged Shi Lang continued to analyze: "So the ancestral skills of Zhuge Yaodao definitely do not include water wars. If we want to defeat the third prince Zhu and the third grandson of Zhu, we still have to rebuild the Fujian Navy!

If the servants could train 20,000 naval troops and build 100 large ships, it would be enough to wipe out Qiu Hui's navy. Once Qiu Hui finished, Dahao, Chenghai, Haimen and other places would be owned by the court, and Rongjiang Nanbeixi was also controlled by the court's navy. At that time, the third prince Zhu and the third grandson Zhu were attacked from both sides, could they still last?"

"It makes sense!" Kangxi nodded repeatedly and asked again, "Shi Lang, if I give you full authority, how long will it take for you to become a 20,000 navy army?"

"If the emperor gives the slaves full power, the slaves can train 20,000 navy troops and build a hundred large ships within one year!"

"Okay!" Kangxi emphasized the key point, "I give you full authority! I will grant you the imperial envoy to supervise the Fujian Navy Minister, and then order Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong to cooperate with military pay and shipbuilding matters!

Then, order the second-class guard Deng Zhong to go to Chaozhou Xushun Gongfu to select two subordinates and followers to carry them into the Han army of the Inlaid Yellow Banner, and come to your command to obey the order!"

Of course Shi Lang knew what the "Tangzhong" did when he came to his hands? But that was natural. He was the four ministers, and Emperor Kangxi could not believe him 100%.

So Shi Lang quickly pretended to be grateful and kowtowed to thank him: "I thank God for my kindness. I must do my best to defeat the thief of the tide of the Taiwan Strait as soon as possible!"

Looking at Shi Lang's loyal and brave appearance, Emperor Kangxi felt much more at ease, but he was still not very satisfied with the performance of Shang Kexi and Mi Sihan in Guangdong. It is right to continue to advance slowly, but it should be a big force to put in a big squinting situation, right? Isn't it too leisurely to squint in Guangzhou now?

In addition, Fujian's performance makes people feel even more anxious and seem to be stubborn and hang up! This is not OK!

Kangxi thought to himself: "I have to send a letter to Mi Sihan, and I will ask Shangzhidian to explain it.
Chapter completed!
