Chapter 218 Grand Ambitions



This man was Zhou Peigong, a talented general, but unfortunately a Han Chinese. Both Emperor Kangxi and Mingzhu were wary of him and did not want him to have too much power, so they demoted him to Shengjing.

It seems I need to find an opportunity to send a message to my family, to pay special attention to this Zhou Peigong. He is a talented general, and I want to leave him to my son.

Don't let him die of depression again. Try to send Kangxi away as soon as possible this time, so as not to leave a mess for her son.

Considering that Emperor Yongzheng had very few capable generals after ascending the throne, with only Nian Gengyao (who was quite famous, but there were others), he didn't want his son to have only one capable general, especially one who was so arrogant. So it was good to cultivate a few more as early as possible.

Although she thought this, she didn't do anything about it and remained lying stiffly on the bed.

Oh, and there's another person named Dai Zi. He was very accomplished in firearms research, but Emperor Kangxi was still afraid of Han Chinese. There was nothing he could do, since Dai Zi was also a Han Chinese.

The Aisin Gioro family was also a minority ethnic group. Although they ruled the Han Dynasty, they still had many insecurities.

So while claiming that the Manchus and Han people are one family, they continue to suppress the Han people.

In another contest between Ferdinand Verbiest and Dai Zi, Dai Zi won. Ferdinand Verbiest, harboring resentment, advised Emperor Kangxi that Dai Zi was a Han Chinese and therefore detrimental to the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and so on.

After hearing all that, Kangxi actually believed him, and then apparently banished Dai Zi to Jiaodong.

It seems I need to ask my family to help with this, at least to prevent anyone from dying, otherwise the loss would be too great.

If possible, it would be best to fake Dai Zi's death, or find him a deserted place to secretly research firearms. Once Kangxi dies, everything will be much easier.

Although she couldn't change the course of history, she could still change some minor details. Of course, it would have been even better if that humiliating period at the end of the Qing Dynasty hadn't happened.

The demise of feudal dynasties is inevitable, as long as it's not too tragic.

Thinking this way, Wanwan decided to write two letters to her family after she woke up, asking them to treat these two people well.

He hoped that when his fourth son succeeded Kangxi to the throne, he would strive to make the Qing Dynasty stronger.

As for the research on firearms, it was not just for Yinzhen. At this time, it was still around the 17th century, and it seems that the West had not yet begun the Industrial Revolution.

The Industrial Revolution seems to have occurred in the 1760s, so if we could catch up at that time, even if we couldn't surpass them, at least we wouldn't make our country so weak.

Wanwan couldn't help but sigh, "Sigh, I originally thought I'd just live a life of leisure and waiting to die, but I never expected things to keep happening one after another. I'm afraid there will be even more problems after Yinyu grows up, especially since the original territory of the Qing Dynasty cannot be ceded even a single square meter."

Wanwan said, "The road ahead is still long and arduous."

Wanwan said, "I'd better go to sleep first. We can talk about everything after I wake up. There's no point in thinking about it now. Kangxi is in his prime; he can't possibly die right away."

Emperor Kangxi died around 1722. If we go back 10 to 20 years, it would be just the beginning of the 18th century, so there was still time.

Wanwan said, "I don't want to think about it anymore. I'll go to sleep first. I'll save up money for now and wait until Kangxi dies before making any grand plans. I'll let my sons do the work while I enjoy myself."
