The Eighth Prince is a very capable person. Just imagine that an ordinary concubine prince without the support of his mother clan could stand out among the many princes of Kangxi. Not only did he fight with the deposed prince for so many years, but he also received support from many people inside and outside the court. This is enough to prove his ability.

You know, compared to other princes, the Eighth Prince had no advantage at all from the beginning, but even so, he was still the one who came to the last step. It was not unreasonable for Kangxi to be afraid of him before, but for this reason, Kangxi was extremely cautious when he was named Prince, because Kangxi knew very well that this son was not simple.

This is true. The Eighth Prince has now become the actual controller of the Qing Dynasty, but at the same time, the Eighth Prince also knows the problems of the Qing Dynasty very well.

In addition to the innate shortcomings of ethnic minorities entering the Central Plains and controlling the Central Plains dynasty with fewer people, after the founding of the Qing Dynasty, both the Eight Banners policy and other policies, this led to the main reason for the inevitable decline of the Qing Dynasty.

The Eighth Prince reads history books carefully and has the skills of emperors. The Qing Dynasty started with the Eight Banners, but the Eight Banners became the shackles that later bound the Qing Dynasty. It can be said that success is due to the Eight Banners, and failure is due to the Eight Banners. Today, the Eight Banners are no longer the Eight Banners of the past. Except for a small number of Eight Banners who still maintain some blood and courage, the vast majority of the Eight Banners have transformed into unusable waste.

In fact, Kangxi also saw this, but Kangxi was always immersed in the prosperity of peace and prosperity in the world. In addition to the so-called ancestral system, Kangxi did not change the Eight Banners at all. In the peaceful era, Kangxi was only given up so much as the most. Although the gradual decay of the Eight Banners was caused by the decay of the entire dynasty, it was just a short time since the beginning and the deterioration was not as serious as it did later.

This is like the Zhu family's vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty. As time went by, the vassal kings in various places bloomed and their population increased. The pressure from the royal family made the entire vassal kings unable to breathe. In addition, the Ming Dynasty treated the vassal kings as pigs, and was worried that they would rebel. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, not only did the vassal kings not only none of them available, but even became the biggest hidden danger to the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, although the strategies of the Eight Banners and the royal family members of the former Ming Dynasty were different, the final result was the same.

If the world is peaceful, this hidden danger may not have been exposed so quickly, but now it is different. With Zhu Yicheng's rise in Jiangnan, the Qing Dynasty has reached a storm. As the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, the Eight Banners have reached an unchanging point, just like a tall building built on the sand. If this continues, the Qing Dynasty will have no room for recovery.

In addition, there are also the use of firearms and other technologies, which is also the consequence of the short-sighted vision before the Qing Dynasty. He blindly boasted about the so-called invincible riding and shooting, and even betrayed himself while deceived the world. This has also been mentioned before, and this is also something that the Eighth Prince is particularly concerned about now.

In addition, the Eighth Prince has been studying the revival and re-emerging of the Ming Dynasty. In his heart, he hated and admired Zhu Yicheng, because with the research, he found that Zhu Yicheng was much better than the Qing Dynasty in terms of reforming the military system, developing firearms, developing business, or gathering people's hearts.

Although I didn't say it, I couldn't help but admit it in my heart. It was precisely because of these that the Ming Dynasty continued to expand in just a few years after its restoration, and now it has even reached the point where it has the ability to truly seize power in the world.

The Eighth Prince is a very good at learning. He also knows that if the Qing Dynasty still does not change as before, even if it can keep half of the country, it will not last long. As time goes by, the Ming Dynasty will become stronger and stronger, and the Qing Dynasty will become weaker and weaker. When the Ming Dynasty has overwhelming power, it will be the day when the Qing Dynasty completely withdrew from the stage of history. This is a result that the Eighth Prince will definitely not want to see.

It is precisely for these reasons that the Eighth Prince is now gradually promoting the reform of the Qing Dynasty. It seems that losing Beijing City before seems to be a bad thing, and it shakes the absolute rule of the Qing Dynasty. But in the Eighth Prince's opinion, this is not a good thing.

It was precisely because of the Ming army's attack on the north that the Eighth Prince had the opportunity to seize the right to rule the Qing Dynasty from Kangxi. It was also because of the voluntary withdrawal from Beijing to hunt west, which also changed the original Eight Banners system in Beijing.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to seize power and on the way to the west, the Eighth Prince had initially broken the original Eight Banners system. Now, the Qing army has begun to improve the Eight Banners system, trying to replace the Eight Banners with another system, thus blurring the Eight Banners and the Green Camp, and even including the Manchu and Han Dynasty.

Although the Eight Banners still exist in name only, the Eighth Prince has actually started to reorganize the military system from Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu and even Sichuan. In addition, the development and development of firearms, training new troops similar to the Ming army, etc., all of this is just learning from the Ming Dynasty.

Now, the Eighth Prince has keenly seen the power of propaganda created by Zhu Yicheng. Compared with the words of the saints, this kind of propaganda is easier for ordinary people to accept. After all, the words of the saints are only for scholars, but the scholars in the world are not the majority, and more ordinary people. Moreover, among scholars, there are loyal ministers and villains. Aren’t all scholars who take the initiative to surrender to the Ming Dynasty in recent years?

What the great man said makes sense, and the more he reads, the more reactionary he is! Those who win over the world not only need to win over the gentry and scholars, but more importantly, to win over the common people. Zhu Yicheng's trick has a great influence on the people, and this is also extremely important for the current Qing Dynasty. If he can copy it according to his own rules, it can also be used by the Qing Dynasty.

As for business, the Eighth Prince was also comforting and secretly supporting. Although he could not directly break the four people's strategy like Zhu Yicheng, after all, the situation in the Qing Dynasty was very different from that of Zhu Yicheng, who started from scratch. For the Eighth Prince, he had too many restraints and concerns. Whether it was the Manchu nobles or civil officials and military generals in the court, the Eighth Prince did not have the ability to make a decision, and if forced implementation continues, it would inevitably rebound, but it could still be done within a certain range. This is also the real reason why the Eighth Prince awarded the Fan family when he was in Shanxi and even gave Fan Yuqi the second-ranked top.

The Eighth Prince hopes to use these methods to solve the current dilemma and make the Qing Dynasty stronger. Among everyone present, Ma Qi only saw a few points. The Ninth Prince and the other few people might have realized something, while the Tenth Prince did not understand the Eighth Prince's intention at all. If anyone can see it clearly, it is probably only Zhang Tingyu.

This is also the reason why the Eighth Prince wins over Zhang Tingyu for himself. In his opinion, although Zhang Tingyu is not as loyal as Ma Qi, and is not as loyal to him as the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince, Zhang Tingyu is an extremely smart person, and he has a strong ability to govern. In addition, he is a Han Chinese and does nothing. These three points are enough to make the Eighth Prince entrust with important tasks.

After handling the matter, Zhang Tingyu, Ma Qi and others surrendered, but the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince were kept by him.

After everyone left, the eighth prince pinched his forehead with his fingers, which was slightly swelling, and then waved his hand to let the two brothers sit first.

"Tenth brother, I have asked Yue Shenglong to be the admiral of Sichuan. You can go back and prepare for it and become Yue Shenglong's deputy general. In a few days, you will follow him to enter Sichuan."

"What? I'll be his deputy general?" The eighth prince had not discussed this with him before. When the first day of Chuyi, he suddenly widened his eyes and then thought about it: "Brother Bastard, did you let me look at this old boy? Don't worry, you said that Brother Dong would never go west. The old boy Yue Shenglong must show you tightly. If he has any intention, I will give him a knife and two cuts at the first time!"

As he said that, the Tenth Prince sneered and raised his hand and waved it.

"Nonsense!" Unexpectedly, the Eighth Prince immediately scolded him: "Who asked you to do this? I asked you to be the deputy general of the Old General Yue, but I didn't let you do these things!"

"Brother Naga, didn't you let me look at him?" Prince Ten was stunned when he heard this, scratched his scalp and couldn't figure it out for a moment.

"Tenth brother, the starling brother means to let you go to the Old General Yue for training." The Ninth Prince understood the eighth Prince's intention and immediately reminded him.

"Training?" Prince Ten was stunned, and a disdainful expression appeared on his face.

"What? Do you feel wronged?" The Eighth Prince didn't know the nature of his tenth brother? Among his brothers, if you talk about it quickly, the Tenth Prince said that no one would rank first in the second place, and even got the nickname "Ten Bags".

But in fact, is the Tenth Prince really a fool? Of course not. If he is a fool, how could a person like the Eighth Prince such a shrewd person value him so much?

The Tenth Prince is straightforward and loyal to himself, and he is also somewhat capable. Although his ability is not as good as the eldest and the fourth, and even the Thirteenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince are still much stronger than ordinary people.

"Yue Shenglong is a famous general of the world. He made great contributions in both the Three Feudal Rebellion and the Western Expedition. Before, he was the admiral of Sichuan, and he used his troops to quell the rebellion in one fell swoop. It was a pity that Emperor Ahma made Yue Shenglong retire for a mere thing. If he did not return home, there would not be the change in Bailian in the Sichuan later. Now, Yue Shenglong's reign as the admiral of Sichuan can not only stabilize the southwest of the court, but also add a powerful general to our Qing Dynasty."
