Since Ao Bai was cut off, the political situation at home and abroad has been stable and peaceful. Kangxi made good use of the opportunity, adjusted policies, eased ethnic contradictions, promoted advantages and eliminated disadvantages, shared interests with the people, and the production developed steadily. In the eighth year of Kangxi, the registered permanent residence19.38 million people and the land was 5.43 million hectares. Increasing year by year. By eleven years, the national population registered permanent residence19.43 million, with more than 5.49 million hectares of cultivated land.
Both Kangxi and Empress Dowager Tai were pleased with this great situation. However, the reunification of the country has not yet been completed, tsarist Russia is waiting for opportunities to seek trouble, hidden dangers still exist in the border areas, and there are many things to be reformed in China, so Kangxi dare not relax a little. Grandma also reminded him to be prepared for danger in times of peace.
In the 11th year of Kangxi (1672), at about 10 am on December 15th, Kangxi went to Cining Palace to meet his grandmother. According to the traditional experience of governing the country during the reign of Emperor Taizong, the Empress Dowager warned: "Although I am in the palace, I know a little about the administration of Emperor Taizong. It was created at that time, and riding and shooting were very heavy. Today, the world is at peace, and all directions are at peace. However, don't forget the danger, or train your military equipment in your spare time. "
This is about armaments. Raise a soldier for a thousand days, and use it for a while. Peace is temporary. Later, it turned out that the suggestion of Empress Dowager Tai was indeed far-sighted and targeted.
Kangxi followed the instructions of the Empress Dowager and took some measures to rectify the army. Among them, the military parade and the continued formation of "New Manchuria" were the main reasons.
In the first month of the twelfth year, Kangxi led the princes and ministers to Nanyuan for the first time since he ascended the throne. /kloc-at about 8: 00 a.m. on 0/8, Kangxi paid a visit to the Empress Dowager Cixi Palace and reported the specific arrangements for reading the text. /kloc-go to nanyuan on 0/9. Nanyuan is outside Yongdingmen, 20 miles south of the capital, and around Joo Won? 120 miles. In the Qing Dynasty, it was used as a training ground for military equipment, with 1600 sailors, each with 24 mu of land, hunting in spring and winter, and practicing martial arts on time.
The big reading is the military parade, which is strictly regulated according to the requirements of the expedition. And because it's the first time, it's especially grand. The ministers, ministers, guards, foreign vassals, Mongolian kings, Baylor and other six people who came to worship in the New Year were all neatly dressed and accompanied by bows and arrows.
On the 20 th, Yingqian officially held a big reading. Below the Eight Banners King, above the four military officers, as well as the forwards and guards, are all dressed in armor and arranged on both sides of the eagle platform in the order of flags. The cabinet of Manchu University, Manchu Minister, yamen, Hanlin, and officials of Kedao stood in the first row on the eagle terrace. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Mongolian foreign princes such as Horqin, Onniute, Su Nite, Zalut, Tumote, Bahrain, Abagai, Aohan, Gurkha, Erdos, Abahanar, Urad, Harqin, Keshiketeng, Baylor, Beizi, Gong, Taiji, etc. stood on the eagle-sun platform in two wings. Bird gunners lined up on the west side of the eagle terrace.
Emperor Kangxi, dressed in armor, boarded the eagle-drying platform and obeyed the order of Huang Ge, ordering the ministers, governors, guards and strikers of the Three Banners to lead a team from west to east. King, Baylor, etc. He also led his flag officer and guards to go east according to the flag order. When they heard the birds and guns singing in unison, they blew their horns and shouted together, running from Taitung to the west, arranged according to their wings. Decentralized, disciplined and full of military capabilities. Kangxi summoned Shang Mingzhu, Minister of Military Affairs, and said: This exhibition is very good and can be held forever.
Then, Kangxi lit a tree target under the stage and made five arrows, all of which were in the middle. And make the prince's maternal uncle Tong Guowei, minister, commander-in-chief of the praetorian guard mulberry trench, Hua-Shan Zhang, new company commander, first-class bodyguard Fei Yaose, shoot Qin, Wu Dan, praetorian guard. After that, Kangxi rode a horse and shot, which became an instant hit.
Foreign princes, Baylor, Beizi, Gong, Taiji, etc. When they saw the emperor's skillful riding and shooting, and his military appearance was purified, everyone looked at each other and marveled.
Kangxi returned to the palace from Nanyuan. The next day, I went to welcome the empress dowager into the palace and reported the grand occasion of reading.
By reading extensively and practicing martial arts, we can improve the concept of military readiness throughout the country and be diligent in riding and shooting training. This move actually made some ideological and organizational preparations for quelling the "San Francisco" rebellion that broke out soon.
The establishment of "New Manchuria" is another constructive measure for Kangxi to strengthen armaments and consolidate the frontier with the support of Empress Dowager Tai. "Manchuria" is the Eight Banners Manchuria. "New Manchuria" is also called "Che Yi (New) Manchuria", as opposed to "Buddha (Old) Manchuria". Generally speaking, after the Qing soldiers entered the customs, ethnic minorities in remote areas of Northeast China volunteered to join the flag.
As early as in the process of unifying Northeast China in Qing Dynasty, tribes and people of all ethnic groups in Northeast China were successively incorporated into the flag book, thus strengthening the power of the Eight Banners. After Kangxi came to power, he continued to advocate the organization of "New Manchuria" according to his grandmother's suggestion. In the tenth year of Kangxi (167 1), Kujala and others from the East China Sea, who lived in the coastal area east of Yanchu (Yan Bing) River in Hunchun, Jilin Province, moved to Ningguta (now Ning 'an, Heilongjiang Province) and were compiled as 12 war assistants. In the 12th year of Kangxi (1673), the Mohzele family of Hezhe nationality lived in the lower reaches of Songhua River (now Raoli River), Wusuli River and Muling River. , asked to move in. General Baja listened to the imperial edict of "Good Buddhism" and moved them to the vicinity of Ninggu Pagoda, where they were named "New Manchuria" as Forty Zuo Ling. To this end, in addition to the original post in Bahai, Ada Hafan (first class captain, no ostentation and extravagance) was specially added.
At that time, some people in North Korea could not see the significance of grouping "New Manchuria" and paid little attention to it. Empress Dowager Tai fully affirmed the achievements of the emperor's grandson and encouraged Kangxi: Although this is a blessing left by your ancestors, it is also because you care for the gentle and distant people and popularize education that this generation can devote itself to submission. How can you despise it! With the strong support and encouragement of the Empress Dowager Tai, Kangxi continued to organize "New Manchuria", and in the 16th year (1677), the newly moved population of Kujala was "supplemented by 26 people".
The "New Manchuria" composed of Hezhe and Kujala ethnic groups reached 78 ranks. Its distribution is as follows: Jilin and Ningguta 40, Shengjing 17, Jinzhou 5, Guangning (now Beizhen, Liaoning) 3, Yizhou (now Yixian, Liaoning) 7. Six other assistants were taken to Beijing as bodyguards. After the "San Francisco" rebellion broke out, all the Eight Banners soldiers originally stationed in the northeast were transferred to Shanhaiguan, and the garrison tasks were taken over by these "New Manchuria". It can be seen that the formation of "New Manchuria" has made important contributions to defending the northeast frontier and consolidating a unified multi-ethnic country.
In the same talk about armaments, Empress Dowager Tai also pointed out: "If you play the imperial court, you will be greedy if you have no loyal subjects, and so on. If you pretend to be private, you will be introduced. It is useless to care about yourself. There will still be. If you are a gentleman, you will be judged by the public. If you make sense, there will be nothing. "
This is about sandwiches. Mainly employing people. The emperor can't do everything himself. He should listen to the opinions of officials and send them to work. Ministers are tired of playing with things, some are loyal to others, and some are selfish. The emperor must handle judicial affairs modestly and cautiously. Don't listen to your partiality and act rashly.
Her advice on armaments and sandwiches hit home. Kangxi was deeply impressed. The next day, he conveyed the above instructions of the Empress Dowager Tai to the gathering note-taker, and said: I understand the admonition of the Empress Dowager Tai, "The way of monarch should not be judged by the public." The lesson that Suksaha's family was killed was unforgettable for Kangxi. He deliberately extracted the word-for-word judgment from his grandmother's teaching to warn himself. Later, the facts showed that he always obeyed the well-meaning training, was careful and tried his best to make a fair judgment. If you're not sure, or if it's important, be sure to ask grandma for advice.
There are many ancient classics about how to be a good emperor. The erudition recorded in "The Book of Rites" and "University" can be used for politics. In the Song Dynasty, Zhen wrote "The Justice of the University" based on the performance of the justice of the University, with a total of 43 volumes. The main purpose is to correct the monarch's mind, suppress the emperor's court, suppress power and happiness. This is extremely useful for feudal emperors to cultivate themselves, put their families in order, govern the country and level the world. Kangxi ordered the Imperial Academy to translate The Great Scholar Yan Yi into Manchu, and presented it to his grandmother and his ministers in February of the 12th year of Kangxi (1673). Empress Dowager Tai praised her and said, "It is very important that people are above the world. However, in order to govern Xinghua, we must cultivate ourselves first. This calligraphy discipline is complete and sincere. Ertega is the editor, so that the Confucian scholars can translate and engrave, and there is even more reward. "
Empress Dowager Tai supported the grandson of the emperor to study the classic works of the Han nationality, not only gave spiritual encouragement to the translation of Da Yan Xue Yi, but also gave a sum of money and silver to the relevant ministers.
1938 counterinsurgency, experienced difficulties.
