I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 336 The Ming Dynasty is the elder brother and the Qing Dynasty is the younger brother

Liu Ruhan's envoys withdrew, and Manchu envoys were brought in.

The two even met, and Shen Wenhao felt a little embarrassed.

Not only because I was a courtier of the Manchu Qing Dynasty before, but also because the two parties actually thought of going together.

More importantly, the delegations from both sides arrived in Nanjing at the same time. Fortunately, they were not arranged to live together.

Shen Wenhao smiled awkwardly, and Yunxiang was not angry, only nodded slightly.

The envoy sent by Zhili of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was Prince Yi Yunyang, which is reasonable.

Since he was Yongzheng's only party brother, Yinyin could not trust him no matter what.

Allowing him to serve as an envoy to the Ming Dynasty would not only test his loyalty, but he also happened to have been on an envoy to Junggar before, so it was appropriate considering many aspects.

Yunxiang entered the main hall, knelt down and saluted without any pressure: "Prince Heshuoyi of the Qing Dynasty, Aixinjue Luo Yunxiang, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty."

From the etiquette of kneeling down to the diction, everything was extremely formal and there was nothing wrong with it.

Zhu Yijiong glanced at Yongzheng's only "close" brother for a moment.

At any rate, the only brother who got together with Yong Zheng was because of his similar interests and similar political ideas. Naturally, he had to have two brushes of his own.

However, his ability to bend and stretch now is far from comparable to that of Yongzheng's fourteenth brother who had the same mother but turned against him.

To be honest, in history, Yinqi was the brother who finally competed with Yongzheng for the throne.

From beginning to end, except for fighting, he showed no political power at all, maybe not at all.

It was only thanks to Yongzheng's disregard and the strong support of the Eighth Ye Party that we managed to survive until the end.But faced with Yongzheng's sudden exertion, he was almost defeated in seconds.

"Flat body."

Zhu Yijiong asked: "Why did the Manchu Qing send you here?"

Yun Yang said without changing his expression: "His Majesty, our Emperor, is willing to become brothers with His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The Qing Kingdom and the Ming Kingdom will cease war and reconcile. Just like the Liao and Song Dynasties in the past, they will always be countries of brothers."

Zhu Yijiong immediately sneered: "My Ming Dynasty now controls most of the world, and its troops can take Zhili at any time. Why do I still have to stop and fight with you, and even like the Liao and Song Dynasties? This is to ask me to call you That teenage Emperor Xuantong is your brother?"

Yunxiang hurriedly said: "Of course not. If the two countries are reconciled, I will regard Your Majesty as my brother and the Qing Dynasty as my younger brother. But in today's world, the Ming Dynasty already controls Henan and Shandong, so it should be the emperor of the Central Plains. Qing is willing to be a vassal of the Ming Dynasty and guard the border and defend the enemy for the Ming Dynasty forever."

Zhu Yijiong suddenly asked: "What about Yongzheng? I remember that there was another Emperor Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty, right?"

Yunxiang said: "He is just a fake emperor. The emperor has already deposed his imperial title. But he actually disobeys the orders and looms in the northwest to resist the Ming Dynasty. It is really a crime worthy of death!"

The sales are really thorough. As the saying goes, brothers fighting against each other are no more serious than foreign enemies... This seems to be a scolding of oneself.

Moreover, this die-hard brother of Yongzheng actually turned his back. I don’t know what Yongzheng in Shaanxi would think when he found out.

Most likely, he would just get angry for a while and then do whatever he needs to do.

If Yongzheng really cared about the so-called "brotherly" friendship, he would not lead his army to Xi'an decisively.

If you can even abandon your concubines and children, what are brothers?
Zhu Yijiong has no interest in being a brother, and it doesn't matter if the Manchus become vassals, because neither party will take him seriously.

The reason for the temporary truce now is entirely due to insufficient food, and Shandong and Henan are too corrupt.

When the troops and food are ready, sooner or later the battle will begin.

Zhu Yijiong was too lazy to waste any more words and said directly: "You don't need to say more, I also know what you are here to do. We are all sensible people. It is not impossible to stop the troops and fight, but what can you come up with?"

Yunxiang knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please speak clearly!"

Zhu Yijiong said: "Someone will talk to you after this matter, please step aside first!"

Yunxiang did not insist.

……

Zhu Yijiong thought for a moment, summoned several cabinet ministers, and wrote down a few names: "When I negotiate with the puppet Qing Dynasty, I must recruit these people to come under my rule in the Ming Dynasty."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Wang Li took the list and glanced at it. He didn't recognize anyone. He didn't seem to be an important person.

Liang Wenxuan asked: "Are we going to ask for money and food from the Qing Dynasty again?" The meaning is self-evident. Asking for money and food from the Manchu Qing can not only support the shortage of money and food in Shandong and Henan, but also force the Manchu Qing to further oppress Zhili. , which made the people lose their hearts.

Zhu Yijiong shook his head and refused: "No, let alone whether Puppet Qing really agreed. Even if he agreed, it would still be the people of Zhili who would suffer in the end."

The main reason is that Zhu Yijiong no longer wants to face the situation like Shandong and Henan. The degree of corruption in these two provinces really disgusted Ming Dynasty.

It was so hard for the Ming Dynasty to even maintain the huge army in the North.

The reason why two armies were specially transferred back to the south to go to the two lakes was because there were too many troops in the north and the food pressure was too great.

Returning to the cabinet, Wang Li immediately summoned officials from various ministries and began to arrange negotiations.

Liang Wenxuan said: "What about the people on this list?"

Wang Li said: "Since it is your Majesty's request, there must be a purpose. We, the ministers, only need to do our part."

Zhu Yijiong didn't have any intention, he was just preparing to poach the Qing Dynasty.

No, it can’t be considered poaching.After all, even Manqing himself didn't care.

Zhu Yijiong only asked for three people, namely Mei Yingcheng, Fan Shouyi, and Dai Zi, all of whom were not well-known.

The first one, Mei Yingcheng, was named Liu Xia Jushi, not Liu Xia Hui.

Currently working as an editor in Beijing, or to put it bluntly, a librarian and proofreader.

This man is indeed not famous, but he has an awesome grandfather Mei Wending.

This was the No. 1 mathematician in the Qing Dynasty and the founder of mathematics.He was also praised by later generations as one of the "three world scientific giants" on par with the British Newton and Japan's Seki Takawa.

As the grandson of Mei Wending, Mei Yingcheng not only fully inherited his talent in astronomy and mathematics, but was proficient in arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry, and he was also outstanding.

The root-square ratio (Western algebra) recorded in the "Jingyun of Mathematics" that is widely circulated and promoted in the Ming Dynasty was written by Mei Yingcheng.

Not only that, the Tianyuan Technique of the Song and Yuan Dynasties has been lost for a long time, and no one understands it.

After Mei Yingcheng intensively studied the Western algebra of borrowing root squares, he re-read "Shi Shi Li Cao" and other books, and successfully realized that Tian Yuan Yi is borrowing root squares, so he wrote "Chishui Relics: Tian Yuan Yi is borrowing root squares" to illustrate with examples The two are essentially the same.

All in all, this man was a mathematical genius in the Qing Dynasty. Even the "Mei Shi Calendar Complete Book" compiled by his grandfather was personally corrected and rewritten by him.

Moreover, because of his excellent knowledge of astronomy and mathematics, Mei Yingcheng participated in the editing of "History of the Ming Dynasty Astronomical Chronicles".

Regardless of Mei Wending, only the works left by his grandson Mei Yingcheng have a profound impact on later generations of mathematics and calendar research.

As for the second Fan Shouyi, although this man was not a mathematician, he was the leader of the envoys sent to Europe by Kangxi during the previous disputes over religious etiquette, and he was accompanied by a large number of people.

Although the talks eventually broke down, these people's trip to Europe was not without gain.

It not only records the customs and customs of European countries, but also various novelties (technology) and the international situation in Europe.

Even Zhu Yijiong couldn't remember much of this knowledge, and it had only been a few years since Fan Shouyi returned from his mission.It was just right to recruit them and even the entire members of the envoy to serve as the Ming Dynasty's European guide.

The last one is Dai Zi. This guy's reputation is much louder than the first two. He even appeared in later Qing palace dramas.

Yes, that's the guy with the machine gun in the show.

Historically, Dai Zi was a firearms expert. Not only could he imitate various advanced Western firearms of the same era, he even developed a new type of artillery with great practical significance, such as the double-cell cannon.

It's a pity that because Dai Zi was too upright, he offended Nan Huairen, and was eventually exiled to Shenyang by Kangxi.

Zhu Yijiong remembered that in two or three years, this person would die of illness in a foreign country because he could not bear the severe cold in Shenyang.

He didn't know if it was too late, and Zhu Yijiong also wanted to see if Dai Zi had really built a machine gun.

After all, this thing is clearly recorded in the "Manuscript of the History of the Qing Dynasty", and it is clearly stated in it that its method is similar to that of Western machine guns, commonly known as the 28-shot continuous gun.

Although later generations expressed doubts about it, because no physical objects were left at all.

However, Zhu Yijiong believed that based on the situation at that time, Dai Zi was almost exiled to Ninggu Pagoda. Even if he could create a physical object, he would probably lose it.

And if it can be clearly recorded in the "Manuscript of Qing History", it will not be groundless.

　I have a cold and a headache, so my writing is not very good.
