The result of the battle of Xin'an instantly calmed down the villagers of the Guangdong Consultative Bureau.

A new army brigade was defeated in World War I!

The 1st Marine Brigade of the Ming Army suffered 200 casualties, 90 actually killed and 120 wounded.

On the battlefield, the Gui army, who disguised the Dutch army, had 500 corpses of a new army brigade, 600 were captured due to wounds, and 500 surrendered in the rout, and the actual loss was 1,060, which was more than one-third of their brigade. This is still the Ming army did not continue to pursue, if it really has to be pursued, it is estimated that this brigade will lose more than half, but this also discarded all artillery and a large number of weapons and ammunition......

Anyway, this is the new army!

This was trained by the Dutch and Portuguese, and even commanded by a large number of European officers!

The weapon is also a Sul arquebus.

There are also three-pounder guns, half-body plate armor and three-quarters armor, all of which are at the same level in Europe, and the tactics are also the mainstream tactics in Europe.

"Guys, which one do you choose?"

Lin Bin said proudly.

"Our soldiers can't wait, they really want to come to Guangzhou."

He added.

The sages all had gloomy faces.

"Also, we captured hundreds of enemy soldiers in the battle, and according to their confessions, they were actually the Gui Guards, and they don't know why they were made to change into Dutch clothes, and this order was issued by the Consultative Bureau, and their clothes were also made in Canton. Of course, it is not ruled out that they are afraid of crime and bite people indiscriminately, but since they said so, then Jinyiwei still has to be investigated, I don't think it should really be the command of King Gui and the village sages, right? ”

Lin Bin said.

The sages continued to grimacing.

They have long been aware of this, but this is just a trivial matter, as long as the reply to Yang Qing is satisfied, then these people bite them indiscriminately.

"Imperial Bank can enter Guangdong!"

A villager broke the silence and said.

The other townsmen did not speak, this is the only choice in their opinion, after all, the donation is to pay for nothing, and the purchase of national bonds can be recovered later, but it is only a long-term loss, but it is not realistic to expect these townsmen to think about the long-term, they value the silver in their pockets more.

"That's not enough!"

Lin Bin said.

"Don't be greedy!"

Na Xiangxian said excitedly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are never insatiable, we just face the reality more seriously, the reality is to help the Gui Fan correct its mistakes, we dispatched the entire Nanyang Naval Division, a brigade of marines, spent countless supplies, and killed and wounded so many soldiers, this can't be done in vain, right? We're not from the Gui Domain, and we've done so much for you, shouldn't you be thankful? For example, to pay for our operation, in fact, it is not much, one million taels is almost enough, but you better hurry, otherwise the longer we delay, the more military expenses will be spent. ”

Lin Bin said.

The townsfolk blew up their nests all at once.

You come to bully us, and in the end, we have to pay for the military expenses, and the bully is not so bullied!

"Is there no one in Guangdong for Staff Officer Lin to bully me?"

The village sage shouted angrily.

"Yes, you don't have to inch in, who is afraid of whom!"

"You are bullying!"

……

The sages roared menacingly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, maybe we should send those captured soldiers to Nanjing, and let Jinyiwei investigate carefully, if there is a rebellion in Guangdong, then the imperial court will have to mobilize a large army to suppress it. Although my Ming army is still responsible for recovering the northern capital at this time, it is still okay to transfer three or two armies into Guangdong to suppress the rebellion, so what do you think? At that time, you don't need to pay for the military. ”

Lin Bin said.

The townsmen immediately calmed down, at that time they really didn't have to pay for the army, but they had to pay their heads, one brigade to one brigade was defeated, that is to say, their 30,000 new troops in Shaoguan would definitely not be able to defeat the two armies of the Ming army opposite.

This is the most realistic.

Lin Bin was right, they just took the reality more seriously, if there was no battle, maybe two million would have sent them away, but with the result of this battle, they would be eligible for three million. In the end, it's useless to talk about anything else, the record on the battlefield is the clearest and clearest, the winner has the right to raise the price, and the loser has no bargaining qualifications.

"Where did a few thousand soldiers spend a million?"

A townsman said with little confidence.

"Are you doubting our integrity? Or would you like to go to the barracks and check it carefully? ”

Lin Bin said.

The townsman quickly shut up.

I guess he also knows that he doesn't have to come back if he goes.

"It seems that you no longer have an opinion on this issue, so let's discuss the issue of tariffs next, Guangzhou Customs is a customs established by the imperial court, and Gui Domain, as a vassal king, has no right to set up a separate customs, so Guangzhou Customs will either be taken over by the imperial court or closed."

Lin Bin said.

For this, those village sages are in a stable mood.

Now it is Lin Bin who put forward the conditions, whether they accept it is another matter, but they are also mentally prepared for the customs issue, and the tax revenue of Guangzhou Customs actually fell into the pockets of King Gui and Zuo Mengeng and others. There was no direct loss for the gentry, and their merchant ships should be taxed in the same way, except that King Gui's funds for raising his army had plummeted, and it was possible that the increase in taxes would be passed on to them. But then those old armies have to be dismantled, and the Gui clan will retain a maximum of ten guards, and the removal of those old armies will save a lot of military expenses, so King Gui's military expenses should be able to cope with it.

All in all, there are losses, but not so big that they are unacceptable.

"In addition, the Guangdong Naval Division will be abolished, the Gui Domain will guard the waterless division, the coastal defense of Guangdong will be taken over by the Nanyang Naval Division, and the warships and officers and soldiers of the original Guangdong Naval Division will be handed over to the Nanyang Naval Division, and the Nanyang Naval Division will set up a base on Hong Kong Island. The Hexian colony opened up by Guangdong merchants in Nanyang will be included in the fiefdom of the Gui Domain, but it will be open to all Ming merchants as a Ming territory, and the Nanyang sailors will set up a supply depot in Hexian. Land checkpoints such as Shaoguan and all ports along the coast of Guangdong are open to business travelers from all provinces under the jurisdiction of the State of Supervision, and business travelers from all provinces under the jurisdiction of the State of Supervision are free to pass through Guangdong, do business, open mines, and purchase various industries......"

Lin Bin kept listing one item at a time.

In accordance with these demands, the Katsura domain surrendered the coastal defense rights, but retained the land defense rights, and the Ming army promised not to enter the Gui domain without a holy decree......

Of course, it's just a promise.

If the Gui Domain rebelled, or if there was turmoil within the Gui Domain, and the invasion of foreign enemies, the Ming army did not need a holy decree after these circumstances, and could directly enter the Gui Domain according to the orders of the Dadu Governor's Office. The local officials of the Gui clan appointed themselves and collected taxes and enforced their own laws, but economically restored to the north as a whole, not only the Imperial Bank, but also the Nanyang Company, which could enter Guangdong. After all, this involves the core interests of the Cantonese gentry, and they really dare to fight to the death if they want to cut off their maritime trade rights, but they can only cross the Taiwan Strait to the south and north......

In short, it is unified economically, but politically it is in charge of itself, and militarily it only has the right of self-defense.

It should be said that Yang Qing is still lenient enough.

His aim was not to solve the problem by force, in fact, he tried to avoid large-scale wars against these internal separatist forces, and the purpose of his current round of actions was to force the two countries to accept economic integration, and then slowly solve it in the most moderate way possible.

It's not that hard.

In the two Guangxi newspapers, the white-haired girl was played, etc., in short, propaganda was carried out in various forms, first of all, let those low-level workers grow grass in their hearts and understand the antagonistic relationship between them and the gentry. Then he came to invest in some high-tech enterprises, and to raise the salary of his employees according to the standards of Nanjing, to promote his benefits in the most direct way. The workers in the slums are not stupid, on the one hand, there are black-hearted capitalists who let them work for eighteen hours and may not earn money for food, and on the other hand, there are those sunny industries of Yang Qing, and they have nothing to do to watch operas such as white-haired girls and all kinds of propaganda in the newspapers.

Who will they choose?

Who do they welcome more?

Then the great image of Xinguo Gong can basically be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Liangguang, and those village sages become the objects of spurning, when the people's hearts are completely pulled away in this form, the foundation of the rule of the gentry in Liangguang is also hollowed out.

All they need to solve it is an edict.

Just directly order King Gui to move the domain.

But now it is definitely not possible, because of the closed nature of information, the people here know about the situation in the north, and even if they know, it is instilled in them by those gentry, which is normal, and the blockage of folk information in this era is unimaginable in modern times. The same information blockade made the Guangdong army and civilians regard the Ming army as invaders, so they were willing to fight, what if they were regarded as liberators? Just like the battle of Xin'an, this time the Gui army can continue to shoot at the marines, what if after several years of in-depth publicity? I'm afraid that let alone shoot at each other, I would have turned the muzzle of the gun and killed the suffering villagers in Guangzhou to liberate them.

And the same is true outside of Guangzhou.

Needless to say, how strong the clan power is in the countryside of Guangdong.

The patriarch is the heavens.

Because of the language problem, it is impossible for Yang Qing to send Jinyiwei to quietly publicize, to put it mildly, not a village may not be able to communicate with each other clearly. In the north, he was able to successfully publicize because of the Huangzhuang adapted by those guards, but it was impossible for him to establish the Huangzhuang system unless Guangdong was defeated by force. Then he needs economic penetration, first open the Imperial Bank to the counties, and then attract the local people in the form of investment in industry and commerce, to put it simply, to support the sowing team first.

These people then spread the word locally.

In short, from the city to the countryside, from the factory to the field, let all the poor workers and peasants know that the north has a great savior for the people.

And then......

One day, when there was a brave resistance, the Ming army directly entered under the pretext of the civil strife in the Gui domain, and then moved the domain to open up the wasteland on the grounds of King Gui's dereliction of duty, and forcibly took over in the cheers of the royal division in various places.
