The huge Forbidden City seems empty, although there are no many palace maids and eunuchs in the past, but for some reason, this usually ruthless palace lacks a bit of gloom and coldness. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The palace maids were almost wiped out, and all of them were sent to Tianjin Port, and the eunuchs who were expected to stay behind also appeared in a large area of applications to leave the palace, except for more than a hundred people who were older or unwilling to leave the palace, almost all the eunuchs packed up their things and left the palace.

When they left the palace, they were interrogated at various levels, and even the command of the Tang Expeditionary Force asked the soldiers to check the clothes of the eunuchs. This is not unreasonable, because in the process of investigation, it was found that a large number of eunuchs tried to leave the palace with items in the palace, and even some people swallowed jade and hid their belongings at the back door, but no one could escape the Tang soldiers who could be called scraping the ground. In addition to the severance pay of ten silver dollars agreed to be issued, the eunuchs were only allowed to carry some personal belongings.

Bai Nan also entered the palace today, he had visited the Forbidden City more than once before the crossing, and he didn't feel anything too unusual when he came this time. The staff officer beside him held a pile of materials and reported to Bai Nan: "...... We have counted the silver deposits of the Ministry of Household Treasury and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Chinese inventory of silver is more than 79.65 million taels, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs has more than 18 million taels of silver, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs still has a large number of high-value items, and it is impossible to calculate its detailed value for a while, only jade, the total amount of 140,000 catties, and the rest of the precious items such as agate, gems, and furs, which can be said to be countless. In addition, we tortured the Manchu clan the day before yesterday and learned that there was still an inner treasury in the Forbidden City, which had been raised yesterday. There were also 1.2 million taels of silver deposits. It is an emergency money. That is, once something happens, the Aixin Jueluo family can run away with this money, but when the crisis happens, they can't get this money. ”

Bai Nan was surprised and said, "In other words, we served the capital in one pot, and we took 100 million taels of silver alone?" This is more than 200 million Tang Yuan, and this battle is really not a loss. ”

The staff officer also had a smile on his face. He said: "The money of the household treasury and the internal affairs government is indeed a big head, but the private money of the officials and nobles in the inner city is by no means a small number, we have sent away a group of clan and important officials of the Eight Banners a few days ago, and their family property has been confiscated, regardless of the real estate and items that need to be realized, the silver taels alone will reach 25 million taels, which is almost comparable to the treasury of the internal affairs government." ”

Bai Nan nodded and said, "Although this is something that has been imagined for a long time, but now I have got so much money. It's still surprising. ”

The staff officer said: "This period happens to be the most abundant period in the 60 years of Qianlong's reign. In a few years, there will not be so much money, and Qianlong will have to spend more than three million taels of silver on a southern tour, and then it will be the consumption of war, so there will be no more in the last years of Qianlong. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has also made a lot of money in the past two years, not only to engage in fur trade or to monopolize the two Huai Salt Administration, but also to intervene in the sales of our Datang commodities in recent years, so it is quite profitable. In addition, during this period, the atmosphere of corruption in the officialdom was very serious, and some ministers even had more family assets than those princes. For example, Yu Minzhong, who is known for his honest official reputation, is the first batch of officials we confiscated, his family property is 2 million taels excluding real estate, and He Shen, who can only be regarded as a rookie in the political arena now, this huge corruption is still not yet 30 years old, and his family property has reached as much as 10 million taels, which is a large part of the money we seized this time. As far as we know, a considerable part of Heshen's family property comes from Li Shiyao, who has just collapsed, and he was responsible for confiscating Li Shiyao's family property before, and he directly faked the public and private, Li Shiyao ate a large number of bribes we gave a few years ago, and also got a lot of rewards from the Thirteen Banks in Guangzhou, so the family property is quite huge, and now it is cheap Heshen. We roughly estimate that the total amount of family property of these officials and children in the inner city may be greater than the total amount of the household treasury. ”

Bai Nandao: "It's not surprising that the economic and financial structure of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was incalculable, and how much money was collected and spent was calculated by the person in charge, and I don't know how many unnecessary costs were wasted in it." ”

Thinking about Bai Nan is also very excited, the domestic investment in this war is not a lot, before and after the National Council is ready to spend 100 million Tang Yuan for this war, of course, this does not calculate the loss and depreciation of war equipment, now it is only the capture of the Manchu treasury and treasury, which has greatly exceeded the money spent on the war, and this war is a big profit. Not only is it expected to be able to make more profits in the future, but also just on the books, the funds are getting more and more.

Bai Nan's ability to ask for money is also outstanding, Tang Jun's ability to scrape the ground is really amazing, and a lot of money that has been well hidden has also been given to them. However, the looting of Bai Nandi was also very clear, and all the money came from the Manchus in the inner city and those high-ranking Han ministers. He doesn't bother whether these people are guilty or not, because to fabricate a crime is just a matter of mouth. is like a Han minister like Yu Minzhong, no matter how good he is, if you explain that his family property is actually 2 million taels, he can't explain it clearly.

However, Han ministers such as Yu Minzhong and Yuan Shoutong did not follow Ah Gui and He Shen to Nanguwei Island now, not because Bai Nan wanted to spare them, but because Bai Nan still needed to identify these people. Or like Yu Minzhong, an old guy, who will die of illness in a few months, it seems that there is little difference between dying in China and dying in Hokkaido.

The staff officer asked again: "It is already expected that more than 98 percent of the houses in the inner city will be left unused, and the property rights are now in our hands, how should we deal with them?" ”

Bai Nan pondered for a while and said, "Don't bring in new residents until all the bannermen in the inner city are sent away." After the relocation is completed, we can visit some residents in the outer city whose ancestors lived in the inner city, and give them those smaller houses, which can be regarded as buying people's hearts. As for the big gardens and houses, we are open for sale, and whoever wants to buy them will sell them to whomever we want, which can be regarded as a return of funds. ”

The staff officer couldn't help laughing, Bai Nan said as if he was like a developer, these houses were developed by their family, but in fact, these lands and mansions were grabbed. However, no one thinks there is anything wrong with this, more than 100 years ago, the Tartars at that time also snatched land and houses from the Han people into their own hands.

Bai Nan asked again, "Where is the Third Brigade?" ”

The staff officer retracted his smile and said, "The Third Brigade has set off a few days ago, and it is expected to arrive at Tianjin Port with the Snow Leopard Regiment within a week." ”

Bai Nan was more relaxed after hearing this, the current strength in his hands can be said to be relatively abundant, in addition to the mechanized infantry tiger regiment as a trump card, two cavalry regiments are also in place one after another, the sweat and blood horses that Zheng He brought to this time and space and the horse breeds purchased from Spain have bred a large number of age-appropriate war horses for the Tang Dynasty cavalry, both horsepower and speed are very good, of course, for more people, the appearance of these horses is too stylish, compared to the Manchu cavalry at this time Those stumbling and short Mongolian horses, it is simply rich and handsome The gap between the filaments.

He had an entire second brigade of infantry to mobilize, plus the 1st Marine Regiment, which has now basically become the guardian of the base, he has about 9,000 troops in the Beijing-Tianjin area, and if the 3rd Brigade and the Snow Leopard Regiment join in, he will have more than 15,000 troops. These 15,000 men guarded the Gyeonggi region and could deal with almost any invading enemy, and they were the most trustworthy force in Baeknam.

"So, is there any movement on the part of the Qing army?"

"According to the report of the Military Intelligence Department this morning, the town of Gubeikou in our north is still standing still, and our army has not been able to penetrate into its military town, so it is impossible to speculate on the plans of the general soldier Ge Xiaolong for the time being, but his troops are limited, and the threat to us is not great. As for the green battalion soldiers in Xuanhua Town, Malan Town, Taining Town and other surrounding areas, there is no movement of troops, Taining Town should be the first military town to get the news that the Beijing Division was captured by us, and its troop movements are very frequent, but there is no specific movement. As for the farther area, the Military Intelligence Department believed that Zhengding Town might have received the news, but the Daimyo Town did not take any action, indicating that the news had not yet been heard, and as for the headquarters of General Shengjing further away, it was equally impossible to know. ”

Bai Nan is not surprised at all, the Tang Army fought with an obvious military style of later generations, although the equipment is more World War II, but ideologically it is at least between the Cold War and the digital age, plus the Tang Army has inherited a large number of PLA styles, so fast mobility is an absolute characteristic. However, on the battlefields of this era, especially in a country like the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which could not even complete modernization, it was customary to fight a campaign for several months, and military exchanges alone cost months. Moreover, they could not grasp the specific movements of the Tang Army at this time, and they did not even know what was happening.

It has been more than a week since the Tang army captured the Beijing Division, and not only Qianlong has already been sent to Sapporo, but even the first batch of Manchu with tens of thousands of people is ready to be sent away. And the current commanders of the Qing army are not yet able to unify their own intelligence. Through the information from the ordinary people, they knew that it was the Tang people who occupied the Beijing Division, they had sharp guns, and they also knew that there were huge iron cars on the road, which frightened the peasants and ran away, and some people said that the Tang people had wings behind them and could fly to the sky, and it was the Tang people with wings who broke into the palace and killed Qianlong.

Oh yes, these Qing generals and magistrates can't even tell whether Qianlong is still alive or dead. Some have even worn linen and filial piety in advance. (To be continued.) )
