Chapter 402: Where is the Shame? Where is the shame?

[Thank you for the 1000 coin reward]

Qiongzhou capital city, Qiongshan. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe bright Blood Tiger Flag was already flying at the head of the city, and two days ago, a team of Lu Yong under the banner of the Southeast Water Division entered the city. The prefect of Qiongzhou, Tongzhi and others were restrained, except for the professors and instructors, everyone else was happy like a lamb, busy with the Fu Han army.

There was no war, no artillery fire. Except for the families of the green battalion soldiers in Qiongzhou Town, who wept and worried, the common people were all relieved, they knew that the war had left them.

In Qiongshan City, the Li family, which is still closed, has a full smile on the faces of adults and children, and the Li family, who have lost their burdens of 10,000 catties, now does not know how happy they are. And the adults had a smile on their faces, and a pair of children naturally smiled and grinned.

After months of suffering and waiting, the Li family's father-in-law, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were finally able to completely let go of the burden of their hearts.

They no longer have to hide in Tibet, they are terrified, and every day they are afraid that some officers and soldiers will suddenly break into the door and arrest all six members of their family and behead them. The Li family's small life can finally be truly peaceful, if they are willing to continue to live incognito in this place far away from the Central Plains.

Of course, old worries are gone, and new ones come back to mind.

The Li family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law thought it was time for them to identify themselves and recognize their relatives.

The daughter of his Li family is Chen Han's Duchess Lu, who gave birth to the only heir for Chen Han's future crown prince. Then the daughter of his Li family will be the queen and queen of Chen Han in the future; The grandson and nephew of his Li family will be Chen Han's crown prince, crown prince, and eventually emperor in the future.

The Li family should not be the ordinary ordinary people at the moment, doing elegant things, but in the end it is a cheap business for traders. They should be Chen Han's in-laws, the future uncle of the country, enjoying endless glory and wealth.

After all, Li's mother has two hearts in her heart to see her daughter, and Li Xiaomei's sister-in-law has always been in harmony with her, but at this time, the two of them are thinking more about glory and wealth, or the future and future of their children.

It's just that the Li family's father and son are a little embarrassed.

"When the Chen family was in danger, my family only cared about their own safety, and they fled to a foreign land. Now that the Chen family is rich, he has the cheekiness to climb his in-laws, where is the shame? Where is the shame? ”

"This, the act of a scoundrel breaking his skin, is not a son of man."

Li Xiucai gave his wife and daughter-in-law a death order, and those who dared to reveal their identities were not members of his Li family. Although he couldn't sleep every night for the past two days, he didn't let go of his mouth at all.

In private, when her daughter-in-law and grandchildren were away, Li's mother cried and scolded Li Xiucai for being a 'ruthless thing', "My daughter is also the flesh and blood that fell from my stomach, and after many years of separation, why is she so ruthless that she doesn't let our mother and daughter see each other?" Of course, Li Xiucai knew the real reason for her suffering, that is, she closed her eyes and didn't say anything, and the angry Li mother was annoyed and angry, and said to him more than once: "To die is to save face and suffer crimes." ”

"Thousands of good fields, but three meals a day; There are 10,000 spacious buildings, and only three feet of couches are slept. When Li Xiucai fights back, he often hangs this proverb on his lips with his neck straight.

But no matter what, Qiongzhou has become the territory of the Fu Han Army, and the sluice knife above the head of the Li family is gone.

Li Xiaomei, who was far away in Lushan, didn't know that it was because of the stubbornness of her father and brother, especially his father's stubbornness, that the day when she met her family was postponed for I don't know how long......

"Driving ......"

On the land of Guangdong today, batches of fast horses are weaving like shuttles, and detailed information from all over the country is constantly sent to Guangzhou.

Flying pigeons is indeed very fast, but the load is limited, and the official reports in some places are thick and pinched.

Chen Ming advocates data, and today's local affairs often involve the change of numbers, and if there is data, there must be data, and the data is required to be as detailed as possible. That's why every time I send a thick stack of newspapers.

The flying pigeon is only an urgent report, and the official document still needs to be a fast horse.

Chen Ming didn't care about the progress of the war in the west, just like when he was in Fuzhou two months ago, and his whole body was completely buried in thick paperwork.

The manors, storefronts, etc., which were confiscated in various places, were all sold if they could be sold, especially in Guangzhou.

As the first city in the southern sky, the water here is very muddy and deep. Foreign bureaucrats, local garrison Eight Banners, and even more claws stretched out in the city of Beijing, the entire city of Guangzhou with four passes, after a careful search of each store, because of the Eight Banners and the Manchu bureaucracy and the large and small stores that were confiscated by the public and confiscated, there are more than 3,000 large and small mansions, five or six hundred houses, these are all shops and houses on the table, not to mention a complete city.

Several of the mansions and manors outside the city, Chen Ming felt that they were not much inferior to Jiangnan. Moreover, some Western-style carvings and even buildings can often be seen in the manors built by wealthy merchants in Guangdong. He left a few of his favorite mansions.

There are many wealthy businessmen in Guangdong, and the storefronts in Guangzhou City are like storefronts in the prosperous stage of the 21st century, which will not change hands easily. The Fu Han Army is now selling stores, which immediately shocked the attention of countless wealthy families in the province. Chen Ming deliberately cut off Lu Shan's attention to Guangzhou, and a large number of local funds and silver came to Guangzhou like water. Even foreigners have a lot of feelings about the shops sold in Guangzhou, and they have bought some of them with a lot of money, and they have also posted recruitment notices, if nothing else, before next year, there will really be a number of 'foreign companies' in Guangzhou!

The fatty meat in Shanghai and Ningbo has already made the Chen family's descendants eat round, and the shops and manors in Guangzhou, they just ate a piece. There are many good things in the world, and we can't always point to them to eat with their bellies open first.

……

Jin Hui leaned against the shade of a camphor tree and watched from afar the sailors of the Fu Han Army gathered on the dock. Under the trees here were all dressed and tattered dock laborers, so the equally well-dressed and well-bodied Jin Hui was not very eye-catching here. No one would have thought that he was a secret agent under the Guangzhou Sticky Pole Department.

Jin Hui was looking at the galleon that stopped at the port, which Chen bought from the foreigners, it was really tall, very tall. The thunder ship on the side seemed to be quite small in the past, but compared with this galleon, it has become like a little brother.

Chen Wei seems to only have such a Western galleon now, but the news circulating in the market is that they have hired boat craftsmen from the foreign realm to build such a large sailing ship by themselves. And more importantly, what exactly are the dragon bullets they use in naval battles?

Jin Hui's heart was full of worries about the future. No matter how powerful the horse team is at sea, it can't be at sea.

On the training ship named Nanhai No. 1, the thick barrels under the gun window showed a breathtaking power. Although there are only sixteen of these cannons, each of them is a twenty-pound cannon. The deck of the ship was equipped with 12 small movable cannons. Although it was only a medium-armed merchant ship, it seemed that the number of cannons was only twice as large as that of the large Thunder Ship, not to mention rockets, but the pure artillery combat capability was far greater than that of the two large Thunder Ships combined.

Jin Hui's heart was full of worry. Chen Wei had already begun to build such large ships, and if the imperial court in the north still made small warships such as rushing ships, shuttle ships, and thunder ships, how could they be used?

Moreover, Chen Wei was able to build such a powerful warship, which also shows that their strength in shipbuilding is very strong. Otherwise, Chen Ming, the thief, would probably not be able to remember to imitate this place.

Jin Hui is now working as a coolie on the wharf, and the Whampoa Wharf is divided into two, one side for civilian use and the other side for military use. Of course, he is on the civilian side, and he doesn't need to do anything big, and now Xiao Jian's thief is the leader of the Guangdong Police Department, and he is even squatting in Guangzhou to keep an eye on it. The word has already been passed down from above, be careful to lurk, and without orders, you are not allowed to act without permission.

Jin Hui now memorized the number of ships coming and going in Huangpu every day, and then stared at the changes in the number of ships of the Fu Han Army sailors moored here. Other than that, you can only chat and fart with contacts not far away.

Of course, they are when no one is around.

The sailors of the Fu Han Army on the dock gradually dispersed, and the golden eagle-like gaze followed closely one person - Pan Zhencheng's eldest son, Pan Youneng. This Pan Youneng voted against the party with his father, and everyone knows the portrait of the Pan family up and down by heart, and he will never admit his mistake. At this time, Pan Youneng was chatting with a tall and thin foreigner while walking slowly.

Pan Youneng was wearing a strange black military uniform—a well-cut and simple, tight-fitting garment. There are pockets with caps and buttons on the left and right sides of the blouse, and the bottom is straight-leg pants. The designer of such a costume is the famous Chen Lugong. It is said that Chen Ming is simply from the simple, simple, neat, aspects and other considerations, combined with the traditional Chinese short clothes, as well as the Manchu horse coat, its characteristics of the door and buttons have also been absorbed, the buttons from the traditional buckles to wooden buckles, the same is true for trousers, buttons, trouser belt loops, with belt strings to tie it, it is more convenient to wear than the traditional Hanfu, more time-saving, more suitable for the army.

This thing is the new military uniform that the Fu Han Army just started to change in the autumn, and Chen Han did not promote him in the people. However, this style of reloading was transmitted from Henan to Wuhan in just two or three months, from Huguang to Jiangnan, and then from Jiangnan in Hunan to Fujian and Guangdong.

The common people don't talk about Hanfu or Hanfu, nor do they talk about tradition or tradition, they pay attention to a 'thrifty'.

And the local scholars don't pay much attention to this. Chen Han didn't advocate this kind of costume among the people, but it was just a dress in the army. It's not 'easy to wear'.

From the beginning of China's fight against King Wuling of Zhao's 'Hufu cavalry shooting', it laid the most solid 'theoretical foundation' for the current change of military uniforms of the Fu Han Army.

In this way, the common people themselves began to wear this kind of clothing, and this kind of military-style clothing is obviously much more economical than the traditional Hanfu. In addition, the Chen Han court did not have any restrictions on it, it was completely spontaneous among the people, so it didn't care about Chen Han's affairs.

Chen Ming didn't pay attention, and the new clothes became popular little by little in Chen Han's control area.

Guangzhou, as one of the cities with the deepest contact between China and the West, is the most developed by the people. Among the businessmen who are mainly engaged in foreign trade, some people have started to wear such clothes, and they do not wear them every day. The Pan family is one of them!

Foreigners in China also feel that this thing has a certain similarity with their clothing, but it is more concise than that. Some foreigners even ordered more than one set.

The tall and thin foreigner was wearing a black tuxedo, a silk white shirt and bow tie, and an attendant stood in front of him and behind him, the two of them were also dressed in the same way, but the tuxedo on the two of them was far less suitable than the thin and tall foreigner. Judging from the figure and walking posture of these two people, they should be foreign soldiers on a foreign ship. The hands of the two men had been resting on their waists, intentionally or unintentionally, and a piece of it was hanging out there, and if the guess was right, there must have been a flintlock handcuff in it. Moreover, it is definitely good ammunition.

"It's really a bunch of turtles who can't be put on the table, and they are so lenient with barbarians that the entire city of Guangzhou is open. Raise your heart, be careful of being bitten back by foreigners. Jin Hui denigrated Chen Han's foreign trade policy in his heart. Pan Youneng is an official of Chen Han after all, and it is a shame to come to the dock to greet a foreigner!

Perhaps one day ......, Jin Hui's mind will see a huge fleet that cannot be seen. Chen Han fed the hearts of foreigners, maybe there will really be a day when the foreigners' large fleet will be recruited, and then Chen Han will know what the evil consequences are.

Because of the confrontation between the entire Manchu Qing and Zheng Ming at the time of the founding of the country, and the Tsarist Russia at the time of Kang Mazi, first in the northeast and then in Dzungaria, the Manchu rulers were full of vigilance and rejection of foreigners. In the 22nd year of Qianlong, he deposed the rest of the trade ports, concentrated all foreign trade in Guangzhou, and forbade foreign ships to go north, which is the best proof of this.

As a beneficiary of Manchu rule, Jin Hui certainly agrees with the Manchu concept - foreigners are a scourge, and you should be cautious!

The tall and thin foreigner and Pan Youneng talked and laughed loudly, and seemed to have talked about something extremely happy.

Pan Youneng didn't know that he had just been targeted by a poisonous snake, but this poisonous snake was a semi-hibernating poisonous snake, hiding in the shadows, quietly watching the prey pass in front of him, without revealing his sharp fangs.

Pan Zhencheng finally chose to be an official, but not the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but in the newly established Foreign Trade Department of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and brought his eldest son Pan Youneng in, and the family's business was handed over to his second son Pan Youwei. The person who could come to the port to greet Pan You this time was none other than a high-ranking businessman of the Dutch East India Company sent by Batavia.

The influence of the great changes in South China is huge, especially the banner raised by the Fu Han Army, which makes all the Chinese in Nanyang ecstatic. As the Dutch knew, the new king of Sulu, Abu Bekkah, was already planning to send tribute to China again. At that time, the king of Sulu Ma shouted that Wei An Rou Lu sent an envoy to pay tribute to the Qianlong Emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and paid tribute to a package of land, please compile it into the Chinese atlas with a household registration person, which was rejected by Qianlong, and then the relationship between the two sides lasted until the 28th year of Qianlong, and the King of Sulu sent an envoy to pay tribute to China, and it has only been six or seven years.

And this is China's long-standing influence in the South Seas.

Although the Spaniards and Dutch have been in the South Seas for 200 years, they have never been able to completely erase China's influence from the South Seas. Although the Sulu Islands were a sphere of influence for the Spaniards, the Dutch were happy to see the Spaniards sad. But how small will Batavia be affected?

You know, the Hongxi tragedy has only been 30 years ago. The blood of more than 20,000 Chinese has not yet dried up completely.

The Dutch would not have worried about the Chinese emperor of the Manchus settling accounts with them, because the Manchu rulers were Tatars. The Qing government has always ignored the Chinese in Nanyang, but they can't help but worry that the current Chen Han will dance swords and guns against them, because Chen Han is the most orthodox Han dynasty. The banner they held high when they raised their troops was to restore the traditional glory and rights of the Han people.

When the news of the capture of Guangzhou by the Fu Han army reached Batavia, the Dutch throughout Batavia felt a heavy pressure. Unlike the Chinese inside and outside the city, who were very happy, the Batavian authorities felt very urgent. The more the Chinese inside and outside the city rejoiced, the greater the 'invisible pressure' they felt. The Dutch urgently convened a council. Finally, Fick Dequelmar was sent to China and Guangzhou.

"The vigilance is really high." Jin Hui sighed secretly. In addition to the two foreign soldiers, Pan Youneng was escorted by four people with handcuffs and knives. Although after the Fu Han army captured Guangzhou, the sticky pole was always in a latent state, but who would forget their lethality?

Pan Youneng and his party walked for more than a quarter of an hour before Jin Hui stood up lazily, stretched his waist and walked out of the port. It's noon, it's time to eat.

A very ordinary rice noodle stand.

"This group of traitors is really well guarded." Jin Hui said while picking up rice noodles and sending them to his mouth.

"Be honest. We've got an informant here to keep an eye on. A short middle-aged man in his thirties, with a wrinkled face, looked like a short, middle-aged man who had been forced by life to bow his head and say, "According to my observation, there are four people who are staring at this pier, and they are quite sophisticated, and they are definitely veterans. I just don't know if it's someone from the police station or someone from the secret camp. "I don't know if it's a spur of the moment, or if I want to pay attention to it for a long time.

"Be honest lately, don't let it be seen."

……

On the left side of the yamen of the former political envoy in Guangzhou, a new door was opened on the high red wall, and a signboard of the police department was hung next to it.

Walking inside, Xiao Jian's office, a confidential map spread out on his desk.

Above is a map of Guangzhou, many places have been drawn with a red pen a small circle, the circle is more or less, some big and some small. Among them, on the Whampoa Wharf, there are the three circles with the most pens! (To be continued.) )
