The first batch of bonds was snapped up by the forces under the command of Hongmen, which made Li Tianyang and them very happy.

Subsequently, the second batch of bonds issued with the same scale of one million taels of bonds, plus the previous one, finally achieved the funds that Li Tianyang needed to raise at the beginning.

Some people may say that Li Tianyang's too frequent fund-raising behavior will make the people lose confidence in Hongmen and others, but in fact, they do not know that the first batch of bond takeovers are more businessmen of all sizes who are doing business and trade in Hongmen.

Whether it was because Hongmen defeated the Qing people in a battle outside the Guan, or because in order to curry favor with Hongmen, these maritime merchants who survived in the gap between the oligarchic merchants such as the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce and the Western Caravan could get more friendly treatment from Hongmen, or other factors, anyway, the first batch of bonds issued by Hongmen, with more than 800,000 taels of silver dollars, were taken over by these merchants and maritime merchants.

Therefore, Li Tianyang's goal of raising funds, Hongmen and other people, in fact, can be said to have basically not made a move.

This means that Li Tianyang's second sale of funds has a strong foundation and prospects.

Sure enough, when the first bond was issued, before the people had time to react and act, the main body of the bond had already been scraped by other outsiders, which made the Hongmen subordinates, who gradually regarded themselves as a part of the Hongmen, feel a little disgraced.

This second fund-raising, the issuance of bonds, Nanyang Qian Zhuang and other shopkeepers and guys just let out the wind, has attracted countless people to come to buy.

There is no way, who let Hongmen be located in the center of the oriental maritime trade route, and at the same time, the strength of Hongmen itself makes it easy for the people under its command to make a living, make money, and the wages are also rich.

In this case, as long as it is not a lazy guy, as long as the average person is diligent and willing to work, he can have a good net worth in a few years.

Although Hongmen Li Tianyang did not explicitly say that they were short of money or anything like that, in the past few months, Hongmen has worked overtime to let the workers rush to produce all kinds of urgently needed materials, produce cement and other military supplies, and give no shortage of bereavement pensions to the fallen soldiers.

Although they don't know how much Hongmen's financial inventory is, it does not prevent them from contributing their own strength after knowing that Hongmen issued bonds.

Originally, buying bonds was a bit of a profitable thing, and after five years, everyone could get a lot of interest, just like everyone put it in the bank, and the interest was much higher.

At the same time, this can also let their beloved Hongmen tide over the current difficulties, they have heard that the Hongtang military department fought with the Jurchen barbarians in the north, and fought a war that even the Ming army has not won, which makes the people proud at the same time, and it is not without hope that the Hongtang army can send back a few more good news.

The more they lived in Hongmen, and gradually began to get used to the rules and regulations of Hongmen, and understood all kinds of new ideas from the West and from Li Tianyang's later memories, the more they felt that they were living like a person.

The change of thinking made them cherish the life and rules in front of them more, and they were more willing to take the initiative to stand up and help the Hongmen who ruled them and brought them a prosperous life.

With the loan of two million taels of silver, Hongmen's finances suddenly became much more abundant, and after the wealth in his hands, Hongmen put the funds that he had raised with great difficulty into production, cement, steel, cotton and linen, grain and other materials were collected, production work was sent to factories and workshops under the system, and surplus grain was purchased from the hands of the people, etc., in fact, the money returned to the hands of the people in disguise.

With the strong support of the Hongmen base camp, the construction speed of the military fortress outside the northeast pass of the Hongtang military department is no longer delayed, starting from the hat helmet mountain to the end of the bow long ridge, the fortress group built along the hills of this generation has become the first line of defense for the Hongtang army to gain a foothold outside the pass, and it is also the strongest line of defense.

After the Qing people withdrew their troops under the unfavorable circumstances of the previous war, their kingdom began to fall into a political struggle for power.

With the defeat of the original most powerful Prince Dolgon, the nobles who supported him changed their banners one after another, greatly losing their strength, and then attracting the rest of the interest groups that had been suppressed by him to resurface.

For example, Prince Li Daishan, who originally didn't want to set foot in the battle for the throne again, but after he led the army south under the leadership of the regent Dolgon, he assisted the young Shunzhi Emperor Fulin with Prince Zheng Nuerharang to take care of the government, but because of the failure of his military strategy, the Qing Dynasty was in a predicament.

Now, although things have changed, and Dorgon's army has also traveled a long way back to China, but the destruction of the Ming army in the Qing Dynasty has brought huge losses to the nobles and common people of the company, and it has not been able to repel the Ming people and drive them out of the country.

Dolgon wanted to stabilize his crumbling position, and Prince Hauge, who had been suppressed by him, began to jump up and down again, seizing Dolgon's hollowing out of the domestic military and revealing the flaws, and kept attacking him, so that Dolgon was tired of coping and had to find a scapegoat.

And the nobles of the two yellow banners such as Sonny and Aobai, who elected the little emperor of Shunzhi, except for the results of Aobai guarding them in the land of the Ming Dynasty and did not participate in the power struggle, the rest of the children of the two yellow banners, in order to stabilize the power of the heirs of the former emperor Taiji, also had to form temporary allies with Dolgon, break the siege for them, and find targets to transfer targets.

Obviously, Prince Daishan is the most suitable person, who let him personally lead the northern army to the south to support, but not only did not succeed in supporting, but instead lost his armor and returned defeated, which finally made the Qing domestic garrison empty and ended up in such a situation.

However, in order to protect himself, Prince Daishan had to continue to participate in the power struggle, and began to fight back against Dorgon with Hauge.

For a time, the power struggle between the two sides became fierce, but for the time being, they could not care about dealing with the Hongtang army in the south, which occupied the coastal area of the Qing Dynasty, and allowed it to build a defense line on the line of Maohel Mountain-Gongchangling.

Of course, the Qing people did not move, and Dolgon personally led the main force of the Qing army to the expedition before, but it was related to the fact that the Qing army was still licking their wounds at this time, and they may not be in the mood to attack the Hongtang defense line again in a short period of time.
