Asked weakly, is there still a monthly pass? In addition, can you ask for a first order? Although Luo Luo is not a big outbreak, it is also a fourth watch

"Ming Gong, this is a reply from Lu Siyuan in Guangzhou."

Zhu Jishi stood up from behind the desk and hurriedly took an envelope from Wang Yunjiao's hand. Zuo Zongtang and Zheng Hong, who were sitting opposite the desk, glanced at each other, both showing some expectations. They came to report to Zhu Jishi about Zeng Guofan's sorting out of the green camp in Guangdong, this famous minister in the late Qing Dynasty in history was quite capable and brave to do things. After receiving the Daoguang Holy Decree, he traveled south day and night, and it took less than a month to travel from Beijing to Guangdong. According to the news from Humen, Mu Teen and Zeng Guofan have already taken control of the Yamen of the Guangdong Naval Division, and the Han military attachés of the entire Guangdong Naval Division must go to Humen in batches to be assessed, not only to test the art of war and martial arts, but also to assess their ability to serve as officials. After that, Mu Teen, Zeng Guofan, and Lai Enjue also inspected the towns under the Guangdong Navy Division and inspected the military affairs. All military attachés who are found to be derelict in their duties or inferior in the art of war and martial arts during the investigation will be dismissed and will not be tolerated!

After this rectification, Mu Tern and Zeng Guofan will continue to sort out the land route of the Green Camp in Guangdong, and Lord Lai will personally command the army to attack Lantau Island.

Although Daoguang sent Zeng Guofan south to sort out the green camp in Guangdong, it would inevitably centrifuge the Han warriors, but it was difficult to ensure that the Guangdong sailors would not cheer up in the short term. Therefore, the upcoming battle for Lantau Island is very likely to be a bitter one! If a large number of Guangdong regiments train and then attack together with the Green Battalion, even if the Jishi Army can hold Lantau Island, it will be cautious after all. Whether it is the loss of the Jishi army. or the death and wounds of Guangdong Tuanyong, all of which were shed with the blood of the Han people. It is a situation that Zhu Jishi does not want to see.

Therefore, Zhu Jishi pinned his hopes on inciting an uprising in a certain place in Guangdong, so as to prompt the Manchu Qing to abolish the regimental training in Guangdong.

It's just whether the group training can really be instigated. Everyone is bottomless.

Zhu Jishi took the letter, hurriedly opened it, and read it in ten lines at a glance, his face relaxed, and then his brows wrinkled again.

The officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the New Army of the Eight Banners finally lived up to their expectations at the critical moment and continued to do stupid things. Now let's see if those people in Sanyuan can come out to confront the Manchu government under the instigation of Lu Siyuan and others?

He handed the letter to Zuo Zongtang. The latter looked at it carefully, thought for a while, nodded and said to Zhu Jishi: "This matter can be done!" But we still need to do something more in secret. ”

"Strategist, do you have any good plans, just come here."

Zuo Zongtang waved his hand, "I don't have a good plan, but this Lu Siyuan must have a way, Duke Ming, let the third aunt take a team of brocade guards and 300,000 silver dollars to Guangzhou." ”

Zhu Jishi nodded. Before he could give the order, Zheng Hong on the side said: "It's better for me to take someone to Guangzhou, Yunjiao's sister should not take this risk." ”

"That's fine." Zhu Jishi looked at Zheng Hongdao and said, "Marquis Yanping." No matter how successful or unsuccessful you are going to Guangzhou, you must not make the slightest mistake, understand? ”

Zheng Hong touched his bald head. Haha smiled: "Don't worry, our brothers in and out of the Little Knife Society and the Heaven and Earth Society also have 100,000 brothers inside and outside Guangzhou City." Even the fast officials of Guangzhou Prefecture, Nanhai County, and Panyu County are all brothers of the Hong family. ”

……

Wei Shaoguang, Second Master Wei's recent mood can be regarded as extremely bad. He is a middle peasant in Donghuali, Sanyuanli Village, north of Guangzhou. He also worked as a mountain worker (building and tending to graves). Born strong, he has studied martial arts, has a straightforward and bold personality, loves to drink, and has great prestige in Sanyuanli. Because he had led the anti-British struggle in Sanyuanli five years earlier, in 1841, according to British records, this struggle killed a total of 5 Britons and wounded 23 others! Well, you must know that according to the figures released by the British side, our one million heavenly soldiers in the Qing Dynasty only killed 60 British soldiers in the entire Opium War, and the results of the struggle in Sanyuanli led by Wei Erye accounted for one-twelfth of them! It really makes the Eight Banners and Green Battalion soldiers of the Qing Dynasty embarrassed.

Although Wei Erye, who made such a great achievement, did not receive the slightest reward from the Manchu court, he still worked as a farmer in the countryside. But his reputation is high after all, and several gentry in Sanyuanli Village also value him very much, and he is entrusted with the head of the militia group. But recently, I don't know what medicine Emperor Daoguang took wrong, and he actually whimsically wanted to cheer up the Eight Banners, and even the waste Eight Banners soldiers in Guangzhou City had to be expanded, and what Eight Banners New Army was organized! And he also took a fancy to the land here in Sanyuanli, and he wanted to circle it to be a barracks playground!

As for the price of only 20 silver dollars per mu, it is necessary to deduct the arrears of previous years! This is not a small amount, the Qing Dynasty's land endowment is not too heavy, and ordinary farmers can always pay it off as long as they are diligent and thrifty. However, all kinds of apportionments, miscellaneous expenses, and filial piety outside of the main item are not accurate, and they are often higher than the main item! Especially in the past few years before and after the Opium War, there were even more apportionments in Guangdong, before the war, the Lianyong silver was levied, and after the war, the silver was levied for the payment of indemnities, and now the coastal defense donations have been levied.

And here in Sanyuanli, because of the "defeat" of the British soldiers in the Opium War, the people are all coaxed, and the Guangzhou government can't afford to provoke them. Therefore, since the anti-British in Sanyuanli, except for the main item, all apportionment and miscellaneous fees are exempted, of course, it is not really exempt, but it is owed there first and not mentioned, maybe just waiting for the autumn to settle the account.

Second Master Wei has asked Lu Siyuan, the son of Lu Juren, who can write and calculate in the village, to give a rough calculation, and now there are all kinds of arrears in each mu of land in Sanyuanli, and there is no less than twenty-five silver dollars. That is to say, after deducting the arrears, the peasants in the three yuan not only did not get a dollar of price, but also had to find at least five silver dollars per mu!

Does this still make people live?

When he was drinking at home with the door closed, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the yard, followed by a knock on the door, "Is the second master at home?" I'm Lu Siyuan. ”

Although Lu Siyuan's father Lu Peifang was a famous person, he was still different from ordinary peasants, and he still had some ways in the official face of Guangzhou, so he was the guarantor of Sanyuanli and several surrounding villages. Lian Yong in the area of Sanyuanli is also nominally under his command, and he is also responsible for collecting the Tian Fu miscellaneous faction on weekdays.

"Young Master Lu, is it still for land acquisition?"

Welcoming Lu Siyuan into the room, Wei Shaoguang asked what he was most concerned about.

Lu Siyuan sighed, took out a small bag of silver dollars, and handed it to Wei Shaoguang, "Second Master Wei, your matter has been released, hurry up and go out to avoid the limelight, these silver dollars will be used as travel expenses, remember, the farther you go, the better, don't go back to Guangdong!" ”

"What? What happened? Wei Shaoguang asked with a blank face.

"What else? Of course, it's been 21 years since Daoguang! Lu Siyuan gritted his teeth and said, "You don't know yet, the imperial court is now negotiating with Yingyi to expel Emperor Zhu from Hong Kong, in order to please Yingyi, I plan to use the head of your family as a greeting gift!" The households in our Sanyuanli Village and several surrounding villages will also suffer together, at least a field will be confiscated, and if any family refuses to accept it, they will exile Ningguta to their Manchurian slaves! ”

"How can this be true? This...... This is a traitor in the court! Second Master Wei smashed the bag of silver dollars in his hand on the ground with a snap, and it was scattered all over the ground with silver glittering.

Lu Siyuan waved his hand and said solemnly: "Wei Er, you can't say that about Lord Lin, this time it is the holy decree of Daoguang Ye, don't do Lord Lin's business." Then Emperor Zhu wants to prosper the Han family, Daoguang is full of people, how can he agree? So he asked Lord Lin to betray the country to foreigners, and it is said that he will ban opium, and let Yangyi use tobacco and poison to harm us Han people! Lord Lin couldn't bear to be victimized by you, a loyal and virtuous person, so he sent a message to my father and told you to flee quickly. ”

"Run? Where can you escape? Second Master Wei roared in a low voice, "These dogs are full of dogs, and they don't let us Han people live!" ”

Lu Siyuan also sighed: "Yes! When Yingyi called, he asked us to be cannon fodder, and he surrendered halfway through, so that we lost our money and lost money, and now we ...... I want to take the head of our Han people to curry favor with Yangyi! I really can't live this day. ”

"Humph! A bunch full of dogs can't fight! Why are you so bullying! "Second Master Wei is a fiery temper that can't be bullied, otherwise Daoguang would not have killed the British soldiers in twenty-one years, provoking an anti-British struggle in Sanyuanli. Now that he was instigated by Lu Siyuan's words, he was already angry, so he immediately rushed out of the door to ring the bell in Sanyuan Temple to summon the villagers. (To be continued......)
