Qing Dynasty: I Rely on Games To Fight For Favor - Chapter 188
Worthy of being a big boss! Xia Mian was woken up late at night. After hearing the news, I couldn’t help thinking. To be honest, the Dutch came, the French came these few days, and finally even the British came. Xia Mian would regret it from time to time. Maybe she shouldn’t do that. That heavy history can’t go away in her heart. She is very afraid that it will become like that next.
Then she really regretted her death. fortunately…
She dressed smoothly and went to see Kangxi.
When it was over, Kangxi was still in the study at the moment. He had just finished dealing with the battlefield and was sitting there alone, thinking about something.
Hearing that Xia Mian was coming, he let her in.
“The concubines greet the emperor, and the emperor will be happy.” Xia Mian said.
“You don’t need so much courtesy.” Kangxi stretched out his hand and motioned for her to come over.
Xia Mian passed, and their palms overlapped.
“Why, woke you up?” Kangxi asked.
Xia Mian felt his temperature, shook her head, and relaxed a lot, “The emperor, will there be war next?” Speaking of this, she was still very worried. If she attacked the Portuguese, Portugal would definitely not give up, and the Netherlands, France, United Kingdom.
“Maybe, maybe not.” Kangxi thought back.
Xia Mian was puzzled.
“I don’t want to fight them at sea now.” Kangxi did not blindly attack the Portuguese. He has done a lot of investigations in the past few days. The Qing Dynasty has become a lot stronger, and if it really wants to go to war, it must be a hard fight.
But the foreigners are here. If he doesn’t show them a little bit of power, they will definitely think he is weak and attack him when the time comes, and he will be more passive.
Attacking the Portuguese and killing chickens and monkeys was his goal.
It was easier than he thought. The Portuguese was too arrogant to guard against his sneak attack.
As for the future, he will choose the right time to fight a few times, but will not set off a large-scale naval battle. With defensive instead of offensive, on road wars, he didn’t believe that the Baqizi brothers would lose to those barbarians.
He simply said a few words to Xia Mian. Xia Mian nodded her head again and again. The big boss was sober-minded, and it was really not comparable to those behind him.
Kangxi paused at this moment, and an exclamation mark appeared on his head. Da Qing was still too weak. He had been thinking just now how to improve his strength. Over the years, he has urged people from the Ministry of Engineering to step up research on those guns, but it is far from enough.
He doesn’t want to defend all the time, he wants to attack, so that the barbarians are as frightened as Dzungar.
This is a summer sleep meeting. The idea is correct. The Qing dynasty has fallen behind a lot. It is difficult to keep up with the pace of research on its own, especially now that Western countries are experiencing the industrial revolution. The technological advancement, It can be said to be changing with each passing day.
It is not too late for the Qing Dynasty to catch up.
Xia Mian hurriedly clicked the exclamation mark on Kangxi’s head, and euphemistically expressed her thoughts.
Kangxi looked at her, but he didn’t expect that she was the same as he thought. He was also thinking that after returning to the palace, Xu Risheng and others would talk more about Western science. By the way, the princes could also learn it.
Xia Mian shook his head. How can he or the princes alone be enough?
“What do you mean?” Kangxi frowned and asked.
Yes, Xia Mian hopes to send many talented people to study in the West and come back to build the country.
Kangxi was silent, he hadn’t really thought about it that way. If he had heard of Xia Mian’s idea before, he would definitely reject it, and let the foreigners come to teach in the country, and it would be a matter of going to them to study.
But the current situation made him have to think about something.
After thinking about it for a long time, he smiled, “This method may be feasible.”
Ding Dong: Experience 10. Congratulations on getting the emperor’s favor 2, and fifty coins for copper coins.
96. I feel good about it. More importantly, this may be able to avoid that period of history. Xia Mian hugged Kangxi’s neck and said affectionately, “The emperor really has a vision.”
Kangxi glanced at her, “Are you boasting yourself?” She came up with this idea.
Uh… Xia Mian’s face was blushing, this was not what she thought.
She was so embarrassed that her lips were red, and her eyes were stained with stars. Kangxi could not help but hug her tightly and kiss her forehead.
This was the first time that the big boss took the initiative to kiss her. Xia Mian’s forehead was hot, and her heart was even warmer.
In the next few days, things did not go beyond Kangxi’s expectations.
The officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty raided the Portuguese fleet, and the Portuguese fleet was completely destroyed. The Netherlands, France, Britain and other countries had to put aside their contempt for the Qing Dynasty and carefully considered whether to start war.
Portugal sent people again, and they contacted these countries, wanting them to join him in attacking the Qing Dynasty.
These foreign wolves, when you are weak, they will swarm them, and when you are tough, they will instead choose to wait and see. These Western countries have been plundering everywhere in these years, and it is not peaceful. They are eager for the Portuguese to charge, and they are taking advantage of the fishermen.
The Portuguese was angry but couldn’t help it, and really launched several attacks on Da Qing.
Kangxi had been prepared for a long time, and did not go to war. He built countless forts in the port and blasted them back one by one.
The battle was deadlocked and the Portuguese stopped attacking. They didn’t want to be taken advantage of by Britain, France and other countries.
It was dragged to the end of the year, and the Qing Dynasty was not afraid of dragging it. But Portugal and other countries are different. They want benefits. If this goes on, they won’t get anything. Soon, Britain and France and other countries put their focus on India, the Portuguese slowly withdrew, and Fujian returned to its former tranquility, and the people cheered.
Kangxi took advantage of this time to issue an order to select talents to go to foreign countries, but the imperial decree did not know who wrote it, and it was written in a high-sounding manner, as if they were not going to a foreign country to study, but to a foreign country to teach barbarians.
Xia Mian wanted to vomit when she saw it, but the people in the Central Plains just love face too much. But the goal is achieved, she waits for the day those people return, then they will definitely be able to fight the powers.
She actually thought about whether or not to persuade the big boss to reform and establish a new social system, but she gave up after thinking about it. This is almost impossible. Maybe, the big boss will be regarded as an outlier.
If you are poor, you will be alone, and if you dare, you will benefit the world. She has done what she can do, and the rest is up to the younger generation!
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Luan drove off, and Kangxi returned to Beijing with Xia Mian.
Having missed the New Year, Kangxi feels guilty. He has been fighting outside for half a year this year. He hasn’t paid tribute to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. Now he has not reunited with them even during the New Year. He can’t wait to return to the palace to meet them.
Many people came to send them off, including shopkeeper Liu and the guys on those ships. Shopkeeper Zhao didn’t tell them that Xia Mian rescued them, but it’s obvious that if the imperial concubines had not come to Fujian, how could the Portuguese take them? Put it back.
They will be grateful and reluctant to give up.
In fact, Xia Mian couldn’t bear it either. Well, she couldn’t bear the sky outside. When she thought of facing the problem before the Queen Mother when she went back, she was frustrated.
Like her, there are the three people of Yinfeng. They saw the war scene for the first time, the vast sea, the huge sails, and the rumbling guns. They were young and full of spirits, and they just felt that they were not addictive at all. .
Now they get along pretty well, riding horses together, and discussing their previous experience and gains and losses.
Hey, Xia Mian looked at them with her chin on her hand, she only yearned for peace.
