The first update

"You don't seem to talk about the Qing Dynasty very much, you always talk about China." Xianfeng thought about it and noticed that what his wife said was all China, not the Qing Dynasty.

"Isn't it China?" Qingyu asked rhetorically. In her opinion, the Qing Dynasty was a dynasty, not a representative of the country. Say this is the Great Qing Kingdom? It's awkward to listen to.

"Yes, maybe this neutral word is the best, so that the knife will say something every day to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty." Xianfeng thought for a moment and shrugged his shoulders.

"Haha!" Qingyu laughed, at this time, the knife will really not be the opposite, right? It's just that two people are leading a small team of their people, looking around for opportunities in Shanghai. It's really not an uprising, at this time, the contradictions in Jiangnan and Jiangbei have not escalated to this point.

Qingyu laughed because this time the Little Knife Club still took 'anti-Qing and Mingming' as its mission, but no one paid attention to them. However, they didn't know that in history, there was really an uprising of the Little Knife Society, and as a result, the imperial court gave up the right to collect taxes from the customs, and then asked Britain and France to declare war on the Little Knife Society, and finally these people were suppressed by those foreign devils.

[The members of the Little Knife Club are mainly Fujian workers in Shanghai and some industrial and commercial owners; A secret society with the same nature as the Little Knife Society, Shanghai also has the Tiandi Society, whose main members are Cantonese, and the Temple Gang, the Tangqiao Gang, the Bailong Party, and the Luohan Party.

These people share a common mentality: dissatisfaction with the status quo and debauchery. They lived in the south of the Yangtze River, and made it their business to escort opium tobacco, and usually pursued profits and grudges, and established party hatred. Gather people to seek revenge and compete for territory, and the Quanzhou Gang and Zhangzhou Gang in Fujian are the most horizontal. Zhejiang Dongtai and Ningzhou ranked second. At that time, the Shanghai Knife Society had a total of "seven parties": "Fujian is said to be built, and Xinghua is said; Guangdong is said to be wide, tide, and Jiaying; Zhejiang, Ningbo; And the indigenous are Shanghai. There are thousands of people, who have no permanent property, no practice, and rob and rob, and the tools of the capital cannot ask where they have come from." (Note: "The Chronicle", p. 129.) These people are collectively known as the Hong Gang, and there is also the Qing Gang, mainly Caoyun. 】

But these are historical claims, why are there so many wanderers everywhere? Unemployed business owners? Some say it was an economic invasion by foreigners, so a large number of sailors lost their jobs......

But look at the point in time, it's all years. And these two years were the time when the Taiping Army was at its most imposing. Guangzhou and Fujian are the origins of their troubles. That's why the uprising started to spark the prairie at the beginning, not because the people have awakened their consciousness, but because they fight in one place, it will spread to other places, and you let others have nothing to eat, so everyone can only be together.

Now, after the rapid self-demise of the Taiping army, the imperial court began to vigorously develop industry and commerce. Semi-mechanical farming tools were then introduced, and a large number of laborers were utilized. Now no matter how much the Americans say that Jinshan is recruiting, no one will go, because there is a shortage of people everywhere.

What's more, Shanghai, like history, has extremely prosperous commerce, but it is no longer the business of foreign compradors, but the unprecedented development of national commerce. Local tax offices are operating effectively, not only to collect taxes, but more importantly, to protect the development of industry and commerce. The tax law here was developed by experts in British tax law. After all, this is the first time in China. They didn't have a tax law specifically for business and industry.

This is also what Qingyu just said, their tax system is working. It was a relatively independent system, and the people sent were also trained collectively later. Industry and commerce are developing well, and so is the customs, which are running well, and the people of Shanghai are busy to death, and whoever has time to rebel with the knife will rebel.

But it's dark||The gang is still there, but it's black||Gang has black||Gang of wisdom, they are vampires, but not stupid. Will they help a bunch of foolish dreamers to ruin their own jobs?

But in history, Zhou Lichun and Liu Lichuan of the Heaven and Earth Society really converged in the torrent of history, and then I don't know why, I slapped my head and decided to revolt. Like Hong Xiuquan, he also printed pamphlets and preached his own doctrine. However, in history, Zhou Lichun did not pay the grain in order to resist it, and then led a group of farmers to respond.

Now their grain has not been planted yet, it has been sold, and then there is a machine to help harvest it, and after the harvest is finished, the machine will collect the rice, and then transport it to other places where there is a shortage of food. They don't have time, they are busy plowing the ground with machines, and they can grab another season of vegetables, and they can make another fortune when they are transported to the north in winter. Resistant to food? Why? When the peasants heard what they said, they looked puzzled, and then took their children away, and told them as they went, this is a madman, and ignore them.

As for the unemployed sailors? Because everyone saw the ability of steamboats, it was true that a large number of shipowners began to cooperate with the imperial court, and the new ships were renovated, and the old ships were scrapped directly, and a group of sailors were unemployed at that time. But there was unemployment here, and the imperial court's own shipping company over there also opened.

China is a country with a lot of land and resources, but its development is extremely uneven, and it cannot be completely pointed to the random transportation of those small owners, who are responsible for an internal regulation. The steam turbine greatly balances this imbalance, but it also requires more people.

As for those people in the Cao Gang, they were indeed really squeezed into the corner of the table by new things. They really wanted to make a fuss and surrounded the yamen for a few days. The Liangjiang Governor's Mansion is in Nanjing, but Li Hongzhang is in Shanghai, he is young, he has been entrusted with important tasks by Xianfeng in recent years, and he is faintly standing on three feet with the Jiangnan camp and the Nanjing Governor's Mansion.

Li Hongzhang ate fish slowly in the yamen, ignoring the outside affairs. But there is only one point, they can make a fuss, but at the Yamen, the Shanghai Green Camp sent a team of people out to surround them, as long as you are in the designated place and not violent, you are free to do the rest.

As soon as they had the slightest thought, the soldiers immediately raised their guns and pointed them at them. However, both sides are very restrained, someone shouts from above, as long as they are in place, how they shout and how, they will be fine. Give them some food at the point, and if you want to go to the toilet, you can raise your hand and let them go out. Of course, you can't come back, no one cares.

However, if there is a riot, the guns will be fired immediately. When it came time to shoot, all the well-trained soldiers suddenly pointed their guns to the sky, pulled the bolts, and everyone saw that they were all brand-new foreign guns, and looked at the flat shoulders in their hands, one by one. Slowly, the people inside walked clean in the name of Xiaojie.

Li Hongzhang did this because Xianfeng sent a telegram to let them demonstrate and march, as long as they kept the order. You can apply in advance. Make room free and let them feel free.

Li Hongzhang is a real Qing Dynasty person, and he only understands one meaning, that is, let them do whatever they want in the prescribed places. What marches, demonstrations? Do not understand! So these people were locked up by them at the entrance of the yamen. However, they still found Xianfeng's instructions interesting, and they didn't do anything like this, and they were fine.

Of course, Li Hongzhang felt that this was the arrogance of the imperial power, and killing people was fear, and we couldn't do anything about you, so I raised my gun. But now we have nothing to fear, as long as you don't interfere with others, you are free. Because that's all you can do!

In fact, that's all they can do. The Cao Gang was not disbanded, and the old leader was invited to Li Hongzhang's face, asking for food, and asking his subordinates to have a place to live, please cooperate!

The old man looked at the young Li Hongzhang and smiled gently at him, and from his smile, the old man knew that there was no other path to choose in front of him.

The Cao Gang was merged into the state-owned shipping company, and the Cao Gang is the largest gang along the Yangtze Riverfaction, which controls hundreds of thousands of people. They are all local snakes, and with their assistance, the shipping company is like a tiger with wings. Now the person who controls the Cao Gang is no longer the old leader, but Li Hongzhang.
