Kangxi's health has always been poor. Whenever Kangxi was seriously ill, he ordered Yinzhen to supervise the country on his behalf. Yinzhen was also responsible for cultivating the water army and preparing for the construction of a military dock. He was listed as the heir to the throne, but in terms of status, after he became the first son, he would not go any further. The crown prince or something would always belong to Yinfeng.

But Yinzhen is not regretful. In his opinion, it may not be a good thing to become a prince. For example, Yinfeng has been a prince for so many years, but in the end he is not destined for the throne. He is now a son and will inherit the throne in the future. , It will never happen, what Xueyang and Lin said, the throne is not right, what is called passing on the fourteenth prince is changed to passing on the fourth prince.

Although Yinzhen was proud of the spring breeze, he also noticed that Yinzhen seemed to be in a bad mood, and his heart was agitated. To be honest, for so many years, his love for Yinzhen was sincere, but because of Xueyang and Lin's words, he knew Historically, it was Yinzhen who fought against him in the end, so he was a little bit afraid of him in his heart, and he didn't expect that in the end, there would be a situation where brothers fought against each other.

"What's the matter, you're depressed, you've been in a bad mood recently." Yinzhen took a day off and called Yinzhen out alone.

"No..., it's not..." Yinzhen hesitated to speak, he understood that his thoughts were a bit awkward, and the fourth brother has reached the most critical point now, he is too busy all day to have time to settle down, and now he still needs to spare time He felt ashamed again for caring about himself.

"My brother from the same mother, what can't you tell me?" Yinzhen's eyes flashed with complicated light, and he thought, don't let me down.

"It's nothing, I just feel that my fourth brother was snatched away by someone else, you are obviously my own brother, but now..." Yinzhen was dejected, and at this moment, he was very careless, like Hongchen who left the careless and didn't take it out to play The state at that time, especially lonely, especially frustrated, especially makes people feel funny.

Yongzheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately, he did not let himself down. "Even though my jade plate is recorded under Tong Jia's name, I am still the older brother of your mother, and the blood relationship cannot be changed. Or, after my jade plate is recorded under Tong Jia's name, Don't you think I'm a brother?"

"How is it possible, you will always be my fourth brother?" Yin Zhen said quickly, his eyes widening.

"That's it, the jade plate can't change anything, can it?" Yinzhen comforted.

Yinzhen nodded, a happy smile finally appeared on his face.

Hongchen and Hongxi’s fleet was not all smooth sailing in Africa. Seeing what Hongchen and Hongxi needed for stones they didn’t need, the locals began to raise prices on the ground, asking Hongchen and Hongxi to double the food they provided, and more Provide them with tons of weapons.

Hongchen and Hongxi just laughed angrily. If you say that you need the help of the natives here at the beginning, after all, the soldiers from the Qing Dynasty are not familiar with the environment here. After the environment, they can completely work on their own. There are few people here, and there are rich mineral veins. After all, this place is too backward. Hongchen and Hongxi also thought about helping the tribes here to establish a country and civilization. As a result, within two years, the lion opened his mouth.

There were voices of discord earlier, but they were all suppressed by the old chief. However, the old chief died not long ago, and the new chief took over. The new chief is on the side that needs to provide double the food. The conflict between the two parties intensified. Finally, Hongchen and Hongxi decided to use Daqing's own people to dig mines, and when they return to Daqing, they will settle the money according to the amount of labor they have paid. Food is indeed very precious here.

After Hongchen and Hongxi refused to use the locals, the tribes here became anxious. They were used to exchanging labor for food, and then let them go hunting. The rest of the tribe were not particularly happy, especially women. When mining, Hong Chen and Hongxi also allow women to mine like men, and they can get food in the end. Now that Hongchen refuses to use the natives, women cannot go hunting. If there are few prey hunted, women will have nothing to eat of.

At the beginning, the original residents here thought that Hongxi and Hongchen would definitely compromise. After all, after they stopped mining, there was not enough manpower for mining. The soldiers brought by Hongchen and Hongxi had to guard the minerals and food. It is also necessary to dig and resist, so that the burden on each person is too heavy, and the two will have to compromise sooner or later.

When Hongchen and Hongxi were transported from the mainland of the Qing Dynasty to be absent from work, the local talents here were completely anxious. They felt that Hongchen and Hongxi did not keep their promises and let outsiders come to mine casually.

Hongchen and Hongxi rolled their eyes, and blamed others for breaking their promises by sitting on the floor. What kind of overlord theory, using the absenteeism of the Qing Dynasty is better than the aborigines here. First of all, there is no problem with communication, and the absenteeism here only needs to provide daily basics Food is good, and other expenses can be replaced by silver, but not here, there is no money here, only food and weapons.

"You guys are going too far." The new chief of the tribe came with the elders. He had been friends with Hongchen and Hongxi before, and Bruce was the interpreter. Seeing that Hongchen and Hongxi refused to give in, the new chief was very angry.

Bruce also felt helpless. He felt that his friend did the right thing. The new chief was too greedy. He had heard the plan of the two friends, and he had heard two friends talk about their country, which was prosperous and rich. , They also want to help their tribe, help build houses, build schools, and establish their own country. The old chiefs also think it is very good, but it is a pity that the new chiefs do not listen to them, thinking that they are deceiving, and insist on increasing the price.

"We didn't go too far, it's because you're asking too much." How Hongchen was willing to give in. Before, they thought that local absenteeism was easy to use, and they only needed to provide food. The two of them couldn't bear it. They wanted to compensate them and help them build their own country. Now After such a fuss, the only guilt left in Hongchen and Hongxi's hearts was completely gone.

"Don't forget, this is our territory." The new chief was angry.

"We have an old saying in the Qing Dynasty, one force will subdue ten meetings, that is to say, as long as you have enough strength, you can subdue everything. Your threat will not work against us." Hong Chen is not afraid of the people here. Compared with the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, the people here are nothing at all.

Because of the gold they brought back, their ships have doubled, and there are already 5 soldiers stationed locally. The soldiers stationed are divided into four shifts, two shifts rest, one shift helps miners to mine, and one shift Soldiers guard the mine veins, so even if there are no locals, Hongchen and the others can mine very quickly.

The new chief narrowed his eyes, and glared at Hong Chen and Hong Xi fiercely. Since this is the case, then don’t blame him. The new chief took the elder and Bruce away, and the anger in his heart erupted like a volcano.

"Order to go on, strengthen patrols these days, especially the camps where food and weapons are stored," Hong Xi ordered.

Hong Chen and Hong Xizhong felt that the new chief would do something bad, so they had to be careful. Food was the most precious thing here.

Hongchen and Hongxi were not wrong. After the new chief went back, he dismissed Bruce and began to discuss with the elders how to attack the food of those outsiders. Although the group of people had a lot of food, they also had a lot of people to support. Now, after destroying the food, how can they support so many of them? It will take many days for them to come to the food next time. If they don’t have food, they won’t be able to fill their stomachs. In the end, let them slaughter .

In fact, the new chief’s idea was only approved by a few elders. These elders who agreed with the new chief had the same characteristic, that is, they were young, but the other elders who were very old did not particularly agree in their hearts. They felt that now The most important thing is to ease the relationship with that group of outsiders. The group of outsiders promised them before that they would help them build a country. They also said that they would help them grow food. In the future, they would be able to eat without having to risk their lives to fight fierce beasts. up.

Especially the latter condition, that you can fill your stomach without hunting, is very tempting to the elders who are still no longer young. When they were young, they were the best hunters in the tribe, but now they are old and can no longer be with them. Ferocious beasts fight, so after obtaining food through labor, they try to hunt to obtain food. This is really a great temptation for them.

"What should we do now?" Several old elders who disagreed gathered together and asked.

"If the chief insists on implementing his crazy plan, the group of outsiders will be angry."

"The chief is too young, isn't it good to have a stable life like before? You have to go hunting and fight with wild animals." Several old elders felt very tired in their hearts. It would be nice if the old chief was still there.

"How about that kid in Bru? He is very close to the group of outsiders, and he is very familiar with the leader of the group of outsiders. If we go through Bru and join the group of outsiders, what do you think?"

The several elders looked at each other. In this way, they were going to abandon the chief, but they felt that it was right to do so. If the tribe continued to let the chief make mistakes, it would be really bad. In those years, the stable life, and there is still Who wants to accept the kind of days when there is not enough to eat and you have to fight with wild beasts.

So, several elders, brought Bulu, and tribe members who were accustomed to exchanging labor for food to join Hongchen and Hongxi. Those who refused to follow the elders had the most adult and strong men, and there were also some women. Some of the tribe chose to follow the elders, so Bruce became the new chief.
