There are a lot of people who refuse to cooperate, and it can even be said that most of them are not cooperative. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The first county to honestly transfer the tax and silver to Guangzhou, of course, is Xin'an County, after Zhu Jinglun went back to guard the tomb last time, it ended the power vacuum in Xin'an, Chen Zhiting has not returned, but the county government is still there, there is no county order, there is no county seat, and there is a county official, temporarily let Zheng Tong, the head of the household department, temporarily act as the county government, Zheng Tong did not have the courage not to hand over the tax and silver of the household treasury.

But other prefectures and counties are much firmer, when the prefectures and counties received the obituary of the emperor's death, most of the prefectures and counties are very cautious, what happened during this time is too bizarre, first the soldiers in Guangzhou were paid, and there were Xin'an County Yong and the Eight Banners Green Battalion, and then there was the governor Qi Ling sent a Jun order, saying that Xin'an County in Guangzhou had rebelled, so that everyone listened to him as the governor, sent the money and grain to Zhaoqing, and asked the counties to recruit Xiangyong to besiege Guangzhou, but almost at the same time, the Eight Banners general in Guangzhou sent an order, saying that Guangzhou was completely troubled, Let the counties defend themselves and not alarm the localities.

Since the beginning of the trouble, it can be said that the orders received by the prefectures and counties in Guangdong are self-contradictory, and the orders of the governor and the general of the Eight Banners are contradictory, so that the local authorities cannot carry them out at all, and some prefectures and counties have honestly handed over the official silver to Zhaoqing, but no one has done it when they recruit the township to send troops to Guangzhou, because the transfer of troops belongs to the category of the Guangzhou general, and they think that it is still reasonable to send the official silver to the governor, and they have to listen to the Guangzhou general when they send troops.

But this time, the general of Guangzhou also asked the counties to hand over the official silver, and also sent an edict that the emperor had died, which suddenly overwhelmed the prefectures and counties. Not only did the emperor die suddenly, making everyone feel sudden and weird, but the new monarch's accession to the throne also made everyone more cautious.

Therefore, except for a few prefectures and counties that have already sent the official silver to the elderly, they replied that this year's official bank has been completed, and the rest of the prefectures and counties are waiting and seeing, even if Xin'an County has set an example, but they still have no action.

Zhu Jinglun had long expected this to happen, but he didn't expect that so many prefectures and counties were so concerned about money, and he also thought about how half of them were willing to obey orders, but there was no one except Xin'an. Or they were all confused by the news of the next three times, and they didn't dare to take action until they figured out the matter.

The chaos in the yamen of various prefectures and counties at this time is Zhu Jinglun's best chance, not chaotic, but not a chance.

Zhu Jinglun immediately sent a Jun order in the name of the Eight Banners General to the county orders who had handed over the tax and silver to the elderly, asking them to come to Guangzhou to discuss government affairs, but no one dared to come, that is, they did not dare to come, the announcement of the rebellion of the elderly has been sent to all prefectures and counties, they are afraid that they are worried that the cooperation with the elderly will be liquidated, in the eyes of many prefectures and counties, they still think that Zhu Jinglun is suspected of rebellion, or that Zhu Jinglun has rebelled, how dare they come?

Zhu Jinglun immediately met with Mukdenne, explained the situation, and had fooled this general, of course, it was impossible to just stamp it with his big seal, but really wanted him to do it, and let him become his own knife to control Guangdong.

"These prefectures and counties are really the elderly Yu Party, and they disobey the order, especially this Xinhui county order, and they dare to say that it is the order of the general of Guangzhou, that is, please ask the general to come in person!"

Xinhui County ordered Nie Erkang to have a very stubborn temper, Zhu Jinglun has already seen it, he used the name of the Guangzhou general, sent a Jun order to Xinhui County, asking Nie Erkang to hand over money and grain, he did not agree, let him come to Guangzhou, he also did not agree, and said that since it was the order of the Guangzhou general, let the general come to tell him in person.

Obviously, Nie Erkang suspected that Mukdener was kidnapped by Zhu Jinglun, and he did not believe any orders sent by Guangzhou at all, I am afraid that many prefectures and counties have this attitude.

Mukd snorted, "I don't know how to lift! ”

Zhu Jinglun sighed: "Then General Lao will go in person." ”

Mukedene was stunned: "I'm going to Xinhui?" ”

Zhu Jinglun nodded: "This Xinhui County Order must be the Elder Yu Party, since he does not obey the general's order, how can the general ignore it." Annoyed Lord go in person, lead the troops to capture this thief! ”

Mukdenne is not very willing, he has long stopped leading troops, far from the front line of the war, he did not contribute to the Anglo-French coalition, and he still did not contribute to suppressing the rebellion in Guangxi, in fact, this is the malaise of the entire late Qing Dynasty, there are too few generals in Zhengyin who can lead troops, but a group of responsible civilian officials stand up to lead the troops, such as Shi Pu, the prefect of Zhaoqing, saw the fall of Wuzhou, Guangxi, which is close to Zhaoqing, not only actively supported, but finally took the initiative to ask the governor of Guangdong for his life, "Please dismiss the prefect, specialize in suppressing things, the division or not restraint, dare to take the blame", and asked to temporarily dismiss his prefect, specially let him go to suppress the bandits, and if he succeeds, he dares to admit his guilt.

After Shi Pu extinguished the bandits from Wuzhou to Luodingzhou, he was transferred to the prefect of Shaozhou the year before last.

But Zhu Jinglun insisted that he go, and Mukdenne had no choice but to take fifty Eight Banner guards, under the protection of Zhu Jinglun's five hundred soldiers, called a steamer to Xinhui.

When Nie Erkang saw that Mukdenne really came in person, he was stupid, he thought that Mukdenne was under house arrest by Zhu Jinglun, and all orders were issued by Zhu Jinglun, who would have thought that Mukdenne would arrive in person.

After welcoming Mukdenne to his own county office and leaving others, Nie Erkang also carefully asked Mukedenne if he was forced, and Mukedenne immediately reprimanded him and asked him to immediately hand over the money and grain to Guangzhou, but Nie Erkang did not comply, and Mukedene immediately asked the soldiers to arrest Nerkang and escort him to Guangzhou.

As for the Xinhui County Government, in accordance with Zhu Jinglun's suggestion, Luo Tianchi, a local official, was invited to act temporarily, and the other county officials did not move, stabilizing Xinhui County.

Luo Tianchi is a person who has done Taoism, of course, it is not a problem to be a small county order, but the people of this county are officials in this county, which is inconsistent with the ancestral system of being officials in different places in the Qing Dynasty, but Zhu Jinglun insisted that it was only temporary, and Mukedene did not want to participate in political affairs, so he immediately retreated after arresting people, and the rest of the things were arranged by people sent by Zhu Jinglun, and he just supported a scene.

What Mukdena didn't know was that because of the original quelling of the Tuke fight, Zhu Jinglun had some contacts with the local gentry class in Xinhui, this Luo Tianchi was one of them, and the relationship was not bad, probably because Luo Tianchi recognized Zhu Jinglun more, and later helped Zhu Jinglun let an American Robert into his family's ancestral hall.

Foreigners worship in the ancestral hall of Chinese clans, which was not invented by Zhu Jinglun, this kind of thing has long had a precedent in China, such as Pa Xiali's brother-in-law, missionary Guo Shila, for the convenience of mission, as early as 1831 naturalized in the ancestral hall surnamed Guo in Fujian Tong'an, named Guo Shila. Wall, an American who is now ****** Li Hongzhang to form a foreign gun team, was also naturalized under Li Hongzhang's arrangement, and also married a young lady of the wealthy businessman Yang Fang's family.

However, there are still relatively few such examples, and Luo Tianchi has a certain risk in naturalizing the Luo family by Americans, and it will be criticized. But under Zhu Jinglun's painstaking persuasion, he agreed, because Zhu Jinglun told him that letting the Americans open up barren mountains can make tens of thousands of people have a livelihood, and under the pressure of tens of thousands of people's livelihoods, Luo Tianchi expressed his willingness to let his family bear some gossip, and let Robert worship his ancestors and become the Luo family.

Because of this relationship, Zhu Jinglun felt that this Luo Tianchi should be reliable, anyway, as long as he went out of the mountain to make this county order, he was actually tied to Zhu Jinglun's ship, and when the situation became clear in the future, when the Qing court sent troops to suppress Zhu Jinglun, they could only share the fate with Zhu Jinglun, because once Zhu Jinglun failed, the Qing court would not let them go.

Just invited these squires to come out as officials, Zhu Jinglun was really helpless, as a person who rebelled against the old regime, the resources in his hands were too limited. Really let the bureaucracy choose, they can't choose Zhu Jinglun, just like a figure like Nie Erkang, in fact, Zhu Jinglun admires him very much, but the more accomplished the officials, the more unwilling they are to cooperate with the rebels, and Zhu Jinglun is unwilling to use those flattering speculators, so he can only invite these well-known local squires to come out to temporarily take charge, hoping to stabilize the place as soon as possible.

Of course, I believe that Luo Tianchi is one thing, Zhu Jinglun is not sure, once Luo Tianchi believes that Zhu Jinglun is a rebel, will he stand up against himself, so it is necessary to station troops in Xinhui, put more than 100 soldiers of the Xin'an Army here, and instruct them to recruit some villagers in the nearby Heshan and other Tuke fighting areas, the amount is 1,000, and the monthly salary is two taels, and the army is used to control the place, which is the most reliable.

While sending people to control Xinhui County, he escorted Xinhui County to Guangzhou, and immediately made it clear that he was sentenced to rebellion on the charge of accomplice to the elderly, and was directly hanged, and the alternation of the old and new regimes was always inevitable, and Nie Erkang's blood soon deterred the local forces, and the prefectures and counties immediately sent a submission, saying that they would immediately deport the tax money to Guangzhou.

Although Zhu Jinglun was short of money, it was still just an excuse to ask them for tax money at this time, the purpose was to make them submit, and these people gave in, and Zhu Jinglun immediately sent troops to the counties that he considered important in the name of the general of Guangzhou.

Guangdong centimeter six provinces jurisdiction, Guangzhao Luo Road, Huichao Jiadao, Nanshao Road, Leiyang Road, Qiongya Road, Lianqin Road, the most important of which is Guangzhao Luo Road, Huichao Jiadao and Nanshao Road, these three roads, Guangzhao Luo Road under the jurisdiction of Guangzhou, Zhaoqing and Luodingzhou, the economic strength occupies half of Guangdong, Huichao Jiadao is mainly mountainous, the significance lies in the border with Fujian and Jiangxi, the same is true of Nanshao Road, bordering Jiangxi and Hunan, the significance of transportation is more significant.

So Zhu Jinglun immediately sent 1,000 troops to Chaozhou, the soldiers were the Hakka Wukeng Army, Chaozhou Mansion belongs to the Huichao Jiadao Office, there are a large number of Hakka people here, the Hakka people in Heshan and other places used to move to the Chaohui area, many clan relations still exist, using the Wukeng Army, it is easier to get the support of local forces, at least not to oppose it.

But Nanshao Liandao can't send troops for the time being, Zhang Qianshan, the chief soldier of Nanshao Liandao, gathered tens of thousands of people and regarded this place as his own territory, Zhu Jinglun didn't want to fight with him for the time being, what he wanted was to stabilize the place as soon as possible, actually control the whole province of Guangdong, and let the power of the entire province be used for himself.

Moreover, the local officials of Nanshao Liandao are very difficult to deal with, Hua Tingjie, the governor of Nanxiong Prefecture, is capable and promising, and Shi Pu, the governor of Shaozhou, is a well-known diehard, not only did they not release the tax and silver to Guangzhou this time, but also opened the official treasury and recruited Xiang Yong, and they have already fought with Zhang Qianshan, Zhu Jinglun is even less interested in wading into troubled waters, and it is important to take the opportunity to control other cooperative states and counties, especially the Guangzhou Prefecture, which is of great economic significance, is the top priority, and it must be controlled in his hands.

But the two most important counties in Guangzhou, Nanhai County and Panyu County, refused to cooperate. (To be continued.) )
