"Three, I'm old, it's been ten years since I was Xianfeng, and I can't even see the way of the world clearly."

"The master is strong and smart, or the court can not send others, but let you come to guard this important place."

"Hehe~ I really know how to say, this Aihui is a fire pit, except for the master, no one dares to jump it. You said that the matter of Anqing, Jiangnan in February can be spread to Aihui in March, which is true or false. ”

"If you want to put it aside, you can't exhaust all the people and horses to death, but now there are no small steamers."

Among the two people in this dialogue, the one who is called "Sanah" is a Shaoxing master, whose surname is Shen Mingmao and Wancai, and he is the third, so he is also called "Shen San"; And the "master" is Aihui's deputy capital and the second grade of the general guard.

What the two are talking about is, "In February of the tenth year of Xianfeng, Zeng Disheng divided his troops into three ways to encircle Anqing. ”。

Although he was talking about this, Shen San knew that the drunkard's intention was not to drink, and Lord Tutong had other thoughts.

Shen San was a newcomer who defected last year, but now in less than a year, he is already a celebrity in the Guanbao Mansion, relying on his kung fu to thread the needle with one hand. This Guan Bao questioned whether the news of Anqing was fake, and he was asking about an imminent matter, after all, this is not a joke, there is no turning back when he opens the bow, and this top Guan Bao can press Dai Hualing up.

"Don't worry, sir, Lucia washed Jiangwanzi with blood last year, and the tribes of Sauron are shouting revenge every day, and this can still be fake!"

Hearing this, Guan Bao suddenly stopped the two jade balls rotating in his hand and glared at them fiercely:

"Zhang Wang, Li and Hu Sijia, when it comes to the sky, they are just a businessman, something happened, I can't run away, sir, you-"

"The little one understands, with the guarantee of the head, no one can pit the master."

Guan Baoqi smiled angrily, "You want to be a slave, but you have enough credit for carrying the flag!" ”

The arrow is on the bow, I have to send it, Guan Bao also knows, no matter how uneasy it is, but at this point, things can only be resigned to fate, in the final analysis, it is still gold, this thing kills people invisibly.

In the ninth year of Xianfeng (1859), the imperial court exchanged contracts with the Mi people and the Lucian people, and the "Jinmen Agreement" officially came into effect, and the Miaotun at the mouth of the Wulong River was officially opened - England and France were defeated in the second battle of Dagukou, and the two failed to exchange contracts.

Before the news reached the Wulongjiang General Military Office, the Mi people built a merchant inn in Miaotun - not to mention that the businessman was bold, the government on both sides had not yet communicated well, and people came to smell the money.

However, Miaotun is in the lower reaches of the Wulong River, and this trouble has nothing to do with Guan Bao, he is the deputy capital of Aihui, subordinate to the general of Wulongjiang, and Miaotun belongs to the jurisdiction of another general, which is the trouble of "guarding the general of Wula and other places".

Seki has his own troubles.

The former Wulongjiang general Yishan, because of the increasingly numerous disputes between the Sauron and the Lusia people in the jurisdiction, finally caused a big chaos, and the big hat of "unfavorable disposal" was covered, Yishan and the former deputy Aihui were all rolled, and the new general Te~ Puqin took the pot with Guan Bao.

After taking office, Guan Bao realized that this is really a pit master!

In the capital, Luthia's envoy complained that "the people of Sauron were fierce, plundering, and barbaric", but in reality this was not the case at all.

The people of Sauron have a good life, and this Luthia robber killed him from the upper reaches of the Wulong River, and replaced "Sauron" with "Lu people", which is appropriate - "The people of the Lu people are fierce, captive, and barbaric".

If you are killed, you are not allowed to resist!

This Sauron's various tribes are allied by blood, which naturally makes sense.

Stupid X Yishan, when he was serving in Yangcheng in the South China Sea, he was beaten by foreigners, so he was frightened and blindly compromised in his tenure as General Wulongjiang. Excessive impeachment of the Saurons not only did not solve the problem, but also provoked civil unrest, and not only did the Lucian people not want to see him, but the natives did not scold him.

However, Yishan and his predecessor Aihui were dismissed from their posts and escaped the catastrophe, but the two new officials, Kete ~ Puqin and Guan Bao, can do it when they arrive

Wax:

Anyway, this civil unrest was provoked by the Lu people.

This Yishan is a mallet, the Lu people crossed the border, and they also encroached step by step, and they were stupid to suppress the counterattack of Sauron's various departments - I am not afraid that people will not eat enough, and they will start to swallow it!

Besides, Sauron used to be called the Birth of the Jurchen, and he broke his bones and tendons with the Manchurians, and this elbow can't be turned out.

But it doesn't matter, although the imperial court is wary of the Lu people, but now the main culprit of the Jiangnan Changfa Rebellion, the Anglo-Buddhist alliance has provoked a war with the Yarrow and the horse monk, and now this Lucia is a little offended.

In the face of the hot potato, General Wulongjiang Te~ Puqin simply came to let go, and the dead Daoist friend did not die the poor Dao, "Guan Bao, your jurisdiction, this matter is all yours." I'm optimistic about you. ”

To tell the truth, Te~ Puqin and Guan Bao are much tougher than the two predecessors, but they can't stand the lack of soldiers in their hands, and the waist is not hard - there are few soldiers, and they also transfer troops to the customs every once in a while, is this Lucia reasonable? Besides, the Sauron tribes who have suffered a lot of losses are not easy to appease.

Guan Bao knew the difficulties of Shangguan Te~Puqin, but a rope was counted as two grasshoppers, and no one wanted to run, so he kept asking Te~Puqin for money, soldiers and food while making peace between Sauron and Lucia.

In the bitter cold land outside the gate, where can these things be made, so Guan Bao is a pole with dates and no dates, and he really doesn't expect to be on - he has thought it through, and the master has also eaten and played and seen, and it is a big deal to repay the king with a death, the so-called "people die and birds rise to the sky, and they do not die for thousands of years" is also.

But "the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village".

In 1859, Miaotun opened the port to Mi and Shandong, and the merchants of this country also came to the door that year.

In the wax month of the ninth year of Xianfeng (1859), Shen San, the master of Shaoxing, took the old post to find the Yamen of Aihui, the deputy capital of Aihui, and congratulated Guan Bao with his mouth, "My lord, you want to send it!" ”

"Send you big-headed ghost!" At that time, Guan Bao wanted to chop Shen San to death regardless of his friendship.

But "there are no three-thirds, I don't dare to go to Liangshan", Shen San dared to come to the door naturally relied on - Shen San found out a picture of the advance, no, it was a golden picture.

This gold map marked several gold panning points, which stunned Guan Bao at the time.

The imperial court blocked the outside of the gate, but it was not without a gap, and the "planer" and "head" were not broken - the so-called "head" was originally a businessman, the planer was responsible for digging wild ginseng, and the head was responsible for recruiting the planer.

Later, those who dig ginseng, dig gold, buy furs and other specialties are commonly known as "heads", and the men are all "planers".

Of course, it is necessary to collect money for breaking into the eastern part of the country, and the head and planer enter with a ticket, and the ticket will benefit ten taels, and the participating merchants will receive six taels of ginseng - Qiankun Langlang, Tong Suo is not bullied.

Guan Bao has a shortage of soldiers and two less soldiers, and since he took office, he has checked the business of the head and planer to the bottom - if the profiteers are missed, won't our father's money be less, this is absolutely impossible.

But there are several gold panning points on the gold chart, and most of the customs protection has never heard anyone say it.

The suspicious Guan Bao asked his henchmen to go to a few places to check it, and this picture was real!

To tell the truth, Guan Bao had murderous intentions at that time, but Shen San, as the master of Shaoxing, was definitely professional, so he hurriedly explained: "This picture is not mine, it was collected by the four businessmen of Zhangwang, Li and Hu, and I don't think they will write it all." ”

Guan Bao asked Shen San to give a detailed introduction to the background of the four families, saying that they were businessmen, but the three were all generations of official eunuchs, the only rising star Hu Guangyong, who also had the background of the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the "Daotai" who donated classes were not ordinary good people.

Although as a Zhenghuangqi person, the second-grade master Guan Bao is not afraid, but everyone is an old Jianghu, and this can't fight at all - one by one, the oil invades the old loaches, and you can easily handle it.

Therefore, "sending charcoal in the snow" did not develop into "sending people for thousands of miles", and Shen San was accepted by Guan Bao and became a master. In the spring of the tenth year of Xianfeng, four wealthy merchants sent a large team of people to Aihui.

Don't say it, this big businessman who dares to break into Kanto is hand-written

It's not the same:

Aihui's deputy capital Guan Bao felt that everyone was making a fortune together, but the stewards of the four families of Zhang Wang Li and Hu patted Guan Bao's chest, "What do you want!" ”

"It is said that our flag people can brag, and this Han people are not ambiguous."

Guan Bao then asked, "Do you have Western ordnance?" The red-clothed cannon will get ten for the master. "-Show off to the master's door, see how the master treats you.

This ordnance is the most important weapon of the country, how dare ordinary businessmen provoke it. Even if you could, it would be forbidden!

But the four families of Zhang, Wang, Li and Hu are really not ambiguous:

"I have worked hard for Prince Bodol Gatai before, and I really have a way to do this."

In the fifth year of Xianfeng (1855), Monk Greenqin broke the long-haired Northern ~ Expeditionary Army and captured the leader Lin Fengxiang, so he was named "Prince of Bodol Gatai".

In the ninth year of Xianfeng (1859), Seng Lingqin defeated the Anglo-Buddhist alliance in the second battle of Dagukou.

At this time, the spring of the tenth year of Xianfeng was the time when this person was in the limelight.

Guan Bao slapped his thigh, "There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it." It turned out to be a skilled hand. "-Dead ghost, if you didn't say it so soon, the hearts and minds of the people were fluttering.

It turned out that Guan Bao found out that he was too simple before when he arrived at Aihui, and the sharp firearms of the Luxian people were unexpected, but Sauron's various departments used rifled muskets, could it be that they were teasing me?!

After investigating, it was learned that the Saurons were bought from Westerners.

England fought with Rucia a few years ago, and now although the peace truce has been negotiated, the grudge is still there, in order to prevent the enemy from controlling the mouth of the Amur River, so he sent warmth for thousands of miles, and sold a lot of militaristic weapons along the river cheaply for the Saurons.

It is said that at that time, British businessmen still wanted to sell a batch of Wulongjiang General Officers' Office at a low price, but Yishan didn't dare to ask for it because the two countries were still at war!

"You don't want me!" But Guan Bao waited for half a year, and no one came to contact him, which was really frustrating.

But I never expected that the four gods of wealth of King Zhang, Li and Hu actually had a way of Western ordnance, and it was not a wild way - to serve Prince Dole Gatai, it must have been allowed by will. The profit of this ordnance is considerable, although it is said that it is loyal to the imperial court, but this money is probably not less, and the four families will definitely refuse to let go of this way.

Guan Bao is also a big heart, he ordered a thousand rifled guns and twenty cannons on the spot - he knew that it was taboo to buy weapons privately, but while writing a letter to sign Wulongjiang General Te~Puqin, he wrote a handwritten order on the other hand.

The trading of Zhangwang, Li and Hu outside the customs is called Jili Warehouse, and the chief steward of the cold is very benevolent and righteous, saying that the killing of the head must not be done, but the foreign merchants in Miaotun want to sell things, so there must be no melon in the rain.

Originally, Guan Bao was quite nervous, this prohibition is one thing, but no money is even worse.

He's just taken office, and he hasn't scraped much yet. The previous deputy Aihui all broke the jar and broke it, and they were all dismissed anyway, and they came to a wrapping meeting with the little deposited silver, not leaving a penny, not to mention, and pulling a deficit.

In fact, Guan Bao suspects that low-level people also have unclean hands and feet, but he sees his men in rags one by one, and he can't do it if he doesn't buy people's hearts.

But as soon as the big shopkeeper of Jili Warehouse reported the price, Guan Bao was happy, "Fifty thousand taels of silver is not a big deal, take my housekeeper's dividends in the gold mine as collateral!" ”

Guan Bao this ordnance had to be bought, in the ninth year of Xianfeng (1859) when he first took office, the Lusia people came to light a fire for him, "In March of the following year, General Wulongjiang was invited to Aihui and his party, and the two sides divided the border. ”

It turned out that in the eighth year of Xianfeng, the two sides wrote in the ninth paragraph of the "Jinmen Agreement", "The two sides will send personnel to survey the previously undefined borders, and ensure that the boundaries are cleared and added to the peace treaty." ”

It's a knife! According to the old events in the northwest, Lucia will definitely take a big bite this time.

But what can Guan Bao do about the agreement signed by the imperial court? I had to buy ordnance in advance for self-defense.

"Ancestors bless, the land of Longxing must not be taken by outsiders!"
