After being denied entry, although the other party was very angry, after taking some grain and grass, he turned west and said that he was going to Jiangxi. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Zhu Jinglun is resolutely not going to let these people into the country, in his opinion, this is a group of crazy people, you don't know what irrational things they will do, even Hong Xiuquan is that kind of stunned, when there should never be infighting, he killed Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, and Wei Changhui, the king of the north, and then forced away the winged king Shi Dakai, otherwise the Taiping army would not have fallen so quickly.

The top level is like this, and the bottom level is bound to be even more unbearable, and it seems that Wang Haiyang also fought his boss Li Shixian in the end.

In other directions, after suppressing the rebellion of the Eight Banners, transferring the remaining Eight Banners to Tianjing, and letting them fight the Hunan army, the main opponents were Zhang Qianshan and Jiang Yili.

Jiang Yili seemed very cautious, and after slowly marching to Wuzhou, he was not in a hurry to attack, and he was still the same as the Hunan army, steadily camping for a long time, looking for favorable terrain outside the city, setting up camp, and pressing step by step. But the waterway was under the control of the Ming army's naval division, and Wuzhou was not worried about the siege.

Zhang Qianshan's side, there are some new changes, he did not attack Yingde, but sent a letter to Zhu Jinglun, telling Zhu Jinglun that the bandits in Nanshao Liandao were rampant, all because the two armies were stationed in the two armies, and the communication between them was not smooth.

Zhu Jinglun had already pulled the flag to rebel and announced the people in various parts of Guangdong, but Zhang Qianshan did not surrender, he did not say anything, pretending not to know, and the correspondence between him and Zhu Jinglun was still as a courtier of the Qing Dynasty, and he could pull both of them to the level of ministers of the Qing court.

Zhang Qianshan suggested that Zhu Jinglun's troops should withdraw from Yingde and be garrisoned by his own soldiers and horses in Nanshao Liandao, so as to protect the territory and the people.

Obviously, this product wanted to take advantage of the chaos to expand his territory, and Zhu Jinglun's people were in his territory, which made him very uneasy.

It is estimated that Zhang Qianshan feels that Zhu Jinglun will definitely be able to meet his request, first, Zhu Jinglun is now in a passive situation on all sides, and second, Zhang Qianshan feels that he is also strong.

The suppression of bandits he said was not false, the last time the township Yong of Nanshao Liandao was dispersed by Zhu Jinglun, and the stragglers who broke into Guangzhou Mansion were either exterminated by the Ming army or absorbed, but the vast majority of the township Yong who fled back to Nanshao Liandao were absorbed by Zhang Qianshan, at that time the civil officials compiled 100,000 township braves, at least 50,000 are now absorbed by Zhang Qianshan, and his army has reached 80,000 people, which makes Zhang Qianshan feel that he has the capital to fight against Zhu Jinglun, at least when Zhu Jinglun is in a predicament, He has the capital to bargain and rob while the fire is hot.

Zhang Qianshan also wrote a letter to Zhu Jinglun to reminisce about his old relationship, especially how much he missed his daughter, as if their father-daughter relationship was so good.

"Lady, my father-in-law misses you very much."

Zhu Jinglun jokingly said to his concubine Zhang Rou.

Zhang Rou looked ignorant, when did her father care about the love of his children?

After reading the letter handed over by Zhu Jinglun, she realized that it was his father who wanted to plot her husband's territory, and she was embarrassed for a while, she didn't know what to say, saying that her father was not, it seemed unfilial, and she said good things for her father, but marrying a chicken and a dog and marrying a dog and a dog seemed to be not abiding by women's morals, and sure enough, women should not interfere in politics.

"These military affairs, the concubine body does not understand."

She pretended to be garlic.

Zhu Jinglun said with a smile: "If you don't understand, don't understand, it's uncomfortable." Since Mr. Yue's father is thinking about his daughter, how about inviting my father-in-law to Guangzhou for a gathering? ”

Zhang Rou was silent, Zhu Jinglun was also a little embarrassed, and found that he was addicted to calculating people, and he ignored Lunchang, this is the end of the Qing Dynasty, it is the era of the feudal dynasty, not New China, and he does not pay attention to the father and daughter to draw a clear line, so Zhang Rou wrote to tell her father that this is incestine, how can a daughter calculate her father.

It's not that Zhu Jinglun doesn't have a sense of morality, it's just that the concept of morality in different eras is different, and later generations don't pay attention to these, but this era attaches great importance to these, and the law also pays attention to relatives and relatives.

"Laughing for my husband."

Zhu Jinglun hurriedly remedied.

But Zhang Rou is already a little uncomfortable, sandwiched between her father and husband, this is the most embarrassing situation for women.

She suddenly said that her sister-in-law has been feeling a little unwell recently, and she wants to go back to her parents' house to see her sister-in-law, she is trying to avoid suspicion, Zhu Jinglun knows that it is difficult for her to do it at this time, so she will not embarrass her, and she is concerned and tells her to let her sister-in-law's family take Yunyun.

Can't let his wife write a letter to calculate his father-in-law, that's not authentic, but it doesn't mean that he, a female student, can't write a letter, he immediately replied to Zhang Qianshan, telling Zhang Qianshan that he felt that Zhang Qianshan was reasonable, Nanshao Liandao should not be stationed in two armies, his suggestion was to let Zhang Qianshan transfer out of Shaozhou, Nanxiong and other places, he told Zhang Qianshan that the banditry over there in Qiongya was also very serious, and he wanted him to go where to suppress the bandits.

Qiongya Road is Hainan Island, and at this time, one of the worst places in Guangdong, there are few people, and there are miasma everywhere. Letting Zhang Qianshan go is almost the same as exile, which is equivalent to clearly saying that he wants to annex Zhang Qianshan's territory.

I believe that Zhang Qianshan would never have imagined such a result.

After receiving the letter, he immediately began to attack Yingde, and while attacking, he still wrote a letter to Zhu Jinglun, telling Zhu Jinglun that he found that the bandits in Yingde were too serious, and the pursuit of bandits was in Yingde County, and he refused to tear his face after the fight.

Although Zhang Qianshan has a lot of soldiers, but there are not many elites, his old brothers are a few thousand, and there are more than 10,000 Kaiping regimental bravery, but these regimental warriors are listening to Tan Cai, equipped with quite a lot of rifles and cannons, and the other township warriors basically have no combat effectiveness.

But Tan Cai has been secretly bought by Fang Shan, Zhu Jinglun thinks that the problem is not big, and he wants to completely solve Zhang Qianshan's big trouble in one battle.

Xu Rongcun came back from Shanghai and had already completed his task, and he didn't need to go to Shanghai to communicate with the ministers of various countries, because with the opening of the situation in Tianjing, Zhu Jinglun didn't need Shanghai as a transit, and the warship could go directly to Xiaguan and anchor when it set off.

After the occupation of Xiaguan, the Guangdong merchants sent a large amount of supplies to the area, replenishing the Taiping army and making huge profits at the same time. But this caused trouble, the foreigners in Shanghai were not willing to let this trade route be monopolized by their counterparts in Guangdong, and they also tried to go to Tianjing to make a lot of money, at this time the money of the Taiping army was still very profitable, but they could not dock at Xiaguan, whenever his ship tried to dock, they would be driven away, on the pretext that this was a military dock, this was a war zone, so merchants were not allowed to station.

The Shanghai merchants put pressure on their consuls, who protested to the Ming Ministry of Foreign Affairs against the Ming army's destruction of freedom of trade, which they had undisturbed power.

Zhu Jinglun does not plan to talk to these ministers, so far, no country is willing to recognize the legal status of the Ming State, he plans to send people to Europe, talking about trade is only one of them, the most important thing is to obtain the recognition of European countries.

"When you come to England, the first thing you have to do is to seek recognition from the United Kingdom, I know that you don't know much about these procedures, it doesn't matter, you find two consultants, one in France, one in Sweden, and refer to the opinions of the consultants in everything, if the two consultants agree on the same opinion, it is probably the common sense of international management, and there is no need to argue; If two advisors disagree, then you have to judge whether it is due to their respective positions or something else, and you have to choose the one that is most beneficial to us. After a year and a half, you will be familiar with Western diplomatic procedures. ”

This task Zhu Jinglun plans to hand over to Xu Rongcun, this person has a very flexible mind and reacts quickly to changes in the outside world, when he heard that Britain held a trade fair, it was the first time, I am afraid he didn't know what it was, and he could immediately decide to send the raw silk in his shop to the exhibition, it is impossible not to be flexible.

Diplomacy is sometimes like war, requiring diplomats to adapt to their own country's interests.

But going to Britain to seek diplomatic support was not the main task that Zhu Jinglun gave to Xu Rongcun.

"The most important country on your trip should be Russia. I will give you information that the Russians were going to sell the land of Alaska to the Americans, but the Americans did not agree, and the Russians offered 12 million US dollars, which is about 8 million taels of silver. I think we can do this deal, you go to Russia and talk to them. It's up to you to decide if it's less than 10 million, and if it's done, I'll come back and give you a knighthood. ”

Xu Rongcun had already done it with Zhu Jinglun, and as soon as he heard that he was in the court, his heart immediately opened, and he promised again and again that he would help Zhu Jinglun buy those lands, although he didn't even know where Alaska was, but when it came to doing business, he felt that he would not miss out.

Well, Alaska, the only land that the Russians have ever sold, the value of this land is worth 100 million, and it is worth it if you can buy it. But Zhu Jinglun knows that things are not so simple, and it is not a matter of money at all.

Why did the Russians sell to the Americans, and they were on the pole to sell to the Americans, why not to the British, not to the French?

In the Crimean War, Britain and France jointly beat Russia, making Russia see these two countries as Russia's biggest threat, and Alaska is on the border of Canada, so the Russians have always felt uneasy. They had strengthened the defenses of Alaska, where they had stationed 2,500 men, but the British then increased their forces and stationed a fleet around Vancouver Island, and the Russians found that they could not ensure the safety of Alaska anyway.

They have no ability to increase their troops in Alaska, and once they start fighting, they will inevitably be annexed by the British, and it is a pity that Alaska will be lost, but once Alaska is lost, the Russian Far East, and Siberia will have to face British power, and it will be difficult for Russia to increase its troops in Alaska, and it will be equally difficult to increase its troops in Siberia, so they thought of selling Alaska and separating Russian territory from the British colonies.
