The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

Chapter 214 Rectification, must rectification

While waiting for dinner, Master Fourteen also went to the seaside and looked at the sea boat. The sea boat was very large, with an entire wooden structure, and its rams were covered with iron sheets. The inside is empty, but when going to sea, it will be filled.

Firearms are sharp weapons for the Navy, and they take care of that.

There are a lot of things on the ship, but it is still in the process of repairing, there is nothing, the water tanks are all empty, there are rice tanks and noodle tanks.

Moreover, the deck of the sea-going ship was not clean, and smelled like fish, but Master Fourteen didn't dislike it. He looked at every place, including the house on the sea-going ship.

When driving at sea, they flush toilets with seawater.

This is the rule of the sea.

Nian Gengyao felt that Fourteenth Master was really curious, and he actually looked everywhere.

After reading it, Master Fourteen went back, and they had the same food as the soldiers for lunch.

Chinese cabbage stewed with pork, miscellaneous fish stewed in sauce, tofu mixed with shallots, cucumber with garlic.

There is also a seaweed egg soup.

Rice and big white steamed buns are the staple food, you can eat both, or you can choose one of the two.

The fourteenth master ate very well, but Nian Gengyao felt a little distressed: "This rough food has made the fourteenth master wronged."

"Don't feel wronged, it's pretty good." The fourteenth master's food is not bad: "Do you usually eat like this?"

"It's about the same. If you go to sea, you will have some fresh sea fish and seafood to eat." Nian Gengyao said: "At sea, you don't pay so much attention."

The ancient navy was not as good as the modern navy. The material reserves were not so rich. The most kelp was ammunition, fresh water, rice and beans.

Eating rice and sprouting bean sprouts with fresh water can be regarded as vitamin supplements, as well as carrots, potatoes and other things that can be stored for a long time. As for vegetables?

The navy is at sea, and they will eat whatever they catch with a net.

For better or worse, everyone is cooking in one pot. Stewed sea fish in sauce is their dish, and occasionally they can eat some carrots, potatoes and bean sprouts.

"Then let's go to sea once in a few days." In a few days, it will be the Double Ninth Festival in September, and he spent the August Festival happily, but in September, he wants to go out to sea once, and feel the "moon on the sea, the end of the world" At this time."

"Okay!" Nian Gengyao nodded.

"However, there are some things you need to change." Fourteenth Master put forward his own suggestion: "Go back and write something, and you can take it for reference."

"Yes." Nian Gengyao continued to nod.

After eating here, all the sailors gathered outside and stood in a military formation. The Fourteenth Lord went up to the general platform and looked at the people below, feeling very excited.

The people around Lord Fourteen immediately raised their loudspeakers: "Hello, officers and men of the Royal Navy, I am the fourteenth son of the Emperor, Prince Xun, Aixinjueluo Yinzhen."

"Greetings to Lord Fourteen!" These people are all "royal" navy, to put it bluntly, they are all royal navy, sailors.

They are called "Fourteen Masters", which really couldn't be more justifiable.

The fourteenth master also liked their closeness: "Okay, everyone get up, this time the master came, and he didn't bring any good things. Each person will give two taels of silver to buy wine!"

"Hey, hey!" Nian Gengyao hurriedly called a stop, and pulled Master Fourteen over: "Master Fourteen, there are 2 people in the navy, and you have two taels per person, which is 4 taels of silver."

"Oh, it's only 2 people?" The Fourteenth Master returned to the loudspeaker: "Then ten taels of silver per person, the Fourteenth Master still has some money!"

"Thank you Fourteenth Master for the reward!" Everyone said in unison.

Fourteenth Master waved his hand, and the people who came with him brought several big boxes.

Nian Gengyao looked familiar, wasn't this something that was moved from the fourteenth master's other courtyard a few days ago?

At that time, he was still puzzled, so many boxes looked quite heavy, but it turned out that there were silver ingots in twos and twos inside, which were of good quality and were all official silver.

Five people per person, who is not happy about the happy event of receiving money?

All of them were smiling, and they liked Fourteenth Lord even more in their hearts. He was worthy of being the son of Long Live Lord, and he was generous. Ten taels of silver per person, this is official silver.

After the money was divided, when Master Fourteen left, these people lined the road to see him off.

However, Master Fourteen was smiling, but he felt sorry for these people in his heart. When he used Nian Gengyao's hand to rectify the navy, he hoped that they would still be able to laugh.

In fact, Fourteen has never seen the real navy, but he has visited an aircraft carrier. Although he only looked at the periphery, he heard that some rules of the navy are very practical. For example, the cables must be coiled, and all Things should be placed neatly without gaps, so as not to bump and roll around when encountering wind and waves.

It's just that they have been active near the sea and have never been to the far sea.

What's more, they can't go to the far sea, and the Strait of Malacca will not let them pass.

That is the maritime throat of the East and the West, and now it is not known which country is occupying it.

There is also Haojing, which is still in the hands of the Portuguese, and he needs to get it back.

Although the fourteenth master spent money, his reputation in the army is very good.

Looking back, he was bored in the study for three days. Even Nian Gengyao brought a big lobster for him as a tooth sacrifice, but he couldn't get him away from the study. The meal was still eaten in the study, garlic lobster, half a table It was so long, Master Fourteen ate with great relish.

"Not finished yet?" Nian Gengyao waited for two days, but he didn't believe it, so he found it by himself.

"I wrote the first part, you take it first." Fourteenth Master said: "Train well, if you can't go out this year, then next year, I found that there are quite a lot of things that need to be changed."

Nian Gengyao was taken aback: "Change?"

"Yes, rectification." The Fourteenth Master said: "From training, to the ship, yes, last time I went, I checked the facilities on the ship, and they are not up to standard!"

"Then rectify it." Nian Gengyao simply followed suit.

Fourteenth Master was happy: "Yes!"

The Fourteenth Master looked at Nian Gengyao with sparkling eyes: "When we sort out the navy together, we will go to sea to have a look."

After the two agreed, the Fourteenth Master wrote for another seven or eight days, and gave Nian Gengyao a copy of "Basic Rules of the Royal Navy", "Code of Conduct for the Royal Navy" and "Sanitary Rules for the Royal Navy".

According to what he wrote, Nian Gengyao followed the regulations above, making strict regulations.

Standardize the food and clothing of the navy to make their training more varied.

The Fourteenth Lord wrote a lot of rules here, and Nian Gengyao would implement the rules, which made the navy officers and soldiers complain to the sky.

Only then did I know that Master Fourteen didn't take the ten taels of silver for nothing.

However, these rules of the Fourteenth Lord have been implemented for a long time, and they do not find it so difficult to accept. After all, the refreshing living environment and clean and delicious meals are beneficial to them. That's right, it's no longer like stinky salted fish. When I go home to visit relatives, people come to say kisses.

After all, is there a difference between a buried navy soldier and a spiritual navy soldier?

But such a training lasted for three months, and the Chinese New Year was coming soon!

The Fourteenth Master spent the New Year outside in the first year, and he was a little lonely. He even wrote to Kangxi and the others, saying that it was his first time to celebrate the New Year outside.

Beijing Central came with a reply letter and brought a lot of rewards to the Fourteenth Lord. Of course, what was given was a list of rewards, and some clothes made by Defei for the Fourteenth Lord. They were all thin. The letter said, Knowing it's hot here, I don't make thick clothes for him.

The fourth master sent a letter asking him to take care of his errands. During the Chinese New Year, he can go to watch the fireworks.

The other brothers wrote to him, reporting that everything was fine at home, and even the New Year's share and dividends had been sent.

As for the rest, let Tong Jiaqinggui put it in the account of Prince Xun's Mansion, the amount is huge.

Let Fourteenth Master rest assured.

The Fourteenth Master found a clue in the pile of letters: none of them mentioned a word, the prince!

He is so far away from thousands of mountains and rivers, the crown prince can reach out his hand, in Beijing, can the crown prince give up the benefit of being so close?

He didn't even need to reach out, just give orders, and someone ran to Master Fourteen to get the money.

It's a pity that the fourteenth master has already made preparations, but the crown prince has not reached out. Isn't this normal?

The Fourteenth Master was at a loss, and ushered in the 51st year of Kangxi's New Year's Eve.

In fact, the troubles of the Fourteenth Lord are very simple. The Crown Prince was locked up and released because of the Gold Award Festival. But after he was released, the Crown Prince attacked the household department.

He didn't know how it was done. Kangxi transferred the fourth master to the Ministry of Industry to be responsible for the problem of the embankment of the Yellow River. The embankment of the Yellow River was built every year and burst every year.

The area around the Yellow River suffered a lot. The money was sprinkled without even a splash.

Kangxi is also in a hurry, the imperial court does not spend money like this, not to mention, if the money is spent, the common people will suffer.

So he handed over the matter to Prince Yong, hoping that his capable fourth son could figure it out, and it didn't take long, as long as there were no major floods within ten years.

With Prince Yong and Thirteen Beizi no longer in the household department, the prince let go of his hands and feet, and borrowed 30 taels of silver, 20 taels of silver, and 50 taels of silver from the household department.

This amount of money doesn't look like much to the prince, but it can solve the urgent need.

But the treasury of the household department was tense, and it was just the Chinese New Year. After the accounts were settled at the end of the year, the crown prince borrowed money.

But Emperor Kangxi didn't seem to know, he still had a lively Chinese New Year, and he also served the Empress Dowager to watch the fireworks and listen to the big drama.

The palace was full of joy, as if the world was peaceful.

The Fourteenth Lord is also very lively. During the Chinese New Year in Guangzhou, there are dragon and lion dances, sky lantern lighting, and various celebration methods, which are different from those in Beijing and China.

There is even a custom of the Hakka people. The Fourteenth Master also had fun with the people, listening to the big drums, watching the big drama, and went to worship the Mazu Temple.
