After the letter was written, Jia Liu casually picked up the small wooden stick on the table and knocked the wooden fish fixed in the upper right corner of the desk.

It's really a wooden fish, the kind used by monks.

The use is equivalent to ringing a bell.

As soon as the bell is pressed, people outside know that there is a call, which is better than making a phone call.

Since there is no such high-end product as an electric bell, it is replaced by wooden fish.

Cheap and practical.

Otherwise, every time Jia Liu has something, he has to shout outside that there is no one, it's tiring.

"Tuk!"

The light and crisp sound of the wooden fish will always make Jia Liu's soul get a little purification.

At the same time, it will also lift his spirit for no reason, both physically and mentally as if there is a sublimation.

It's like a breeze blowing away a group of Ah Piao.

It feels more effective than the Buddhist beads, mahogany swords, crosses, and sickles hanging on the wall.

These pieces of Jia Liu's magic weapons used to calm the nerves and replenish the fetus were all bought by Baozhu on the street outside Chongwenmen, and the effect was not good.

This wooden fish came from the Tailing Ming Hall, and may have been opened by the master.

It may just be a psychological effect, anyway, Jia Liuting enjoys it.

The office door was immediately pushed open, and a personal soldier entered, bowing: "What do you command?" ”

"Send this letter out,"

Jia Liu put the letter into an envelope, wrote the address of Jiangning General's Mansion and handed it to his soldiers, not forgetting to instruct him to take the normal route.

The normal way is to take the regular post road of the Qing Dynasty, which can save the cost of expediting.

It's almost the meaning of taking the postal service, not going to SF.

Anyway, there is no urgency, there is no need to spend more money.

The country is now in this mess, and it is a little bit to save a little.

When the soldiers went out, Fan Wei happened to come in and saw the soldiers holding the envelope in their hands, so he asked the ghost family to whom he wrote the letter.

Jia Liu talked about his cousin Songchun.

Fan Wei frowned slightly after hearing this: "Since your lord has decided to call himself Prince Yu, why bother to win over this clan who is far away in Jiangning. ”

The implication is that there is no need, even if you really want to get Prince Jane, the hat king, in your hands, it is better to support other idle descendants of Zilharang who have no power and powerlessness, instead of pulling a general Jiang Ning who holds a heavy army or an old fritter in the court into the game.

In ancient times, those powerful ministers set up emperors, which one did not pick a child to stand?

A truth.

"I didn't woo him,"

Jia Liu read the letter from President Li of Sichuan, and said casually: "I just asked my brother if he wanted to compete with Prince Jian, and if he wanted to, he would be named. ”

"Oh."

Fan Wei nodded, Lord Ghost is adding a stumbling block to Fuzhongtang.

Fu Zhongtang wants to agree that the cousin of the ghost family should be Prince Jane, and there is a cousin of Prince An, the brother-in-law of Prince Yu, and Prince Rui and Prince Ying of the Hua family, and the relatives of the Ghost Family of the Hat King Assembly account for the majority.

Theoretically, it is possible to bypass the imperial court and directly decide the choice of the Qing emperor.

At the beginning of the country, the hat king was the elector.

If you really want to restore this situation, Fu Zhongtang, the foreman of the military aircraft, is a foil.

Unless he goes out to create a rebellion against the Qing Dynasty and serves the Manchurian hat king.

If Fu Zhongtang does not agree, he will undoubtedly offend the Yu clan, who is quite prestigious, and is a hegemon in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, Jiangning General, presumably it will not be easy to speak in the south in the future.

Not to mention anything else, if General Jiang Ning was dissatisfied with the imperial court and deliberately made a little stumbling, Jiangnan's money and grain transportation to the north would be problematic.

Cao Yun is the lifeblood of the Qing Dynasty.

Anyway, whether Fu Zhongtang agrees or not, this thing is enough for him to feel uncomfortable.

"King Zhang's treasure has come out, it's not old or young, you can take a look."

Jia Liu showed President Li's letter to Fan Wei.

President Lee: This is a letter of good news.

It is said that since the start of the salvage project of the treasures of the eight kings in May, more than 100,000 pieces of various treasures have been taken out from the bottom of the river, among which gold and silver artifacts and gold and silver ingots are the mainstays, and if they are all melted, they can obtain the equivalent of three or four million taels of silver.

However, what is more valuable are the gold and silver albums of the Onishi regime, as well as the various seals of the officials, the reward money of the king of the west, and a number of other cultural relics of the Onishi regime, which were stacked in two warehouses alone.

The biggest gain was to fish out a gold seal of Zhang Xianzhong, and Chairman Li asked experts to see that it may be the jade seal of the Daxi Emperor who ascended the throne in Chengdu and became emperor.

Priceless.

Since these items have the value of "cultural relics", if they are sold in the antique market, the value will be several times higher than if they are melted, so Chairman Lee means that they will not be melted, but will be sold directly through various channels.

Jia Liu agreed with this opinion and proposed that half of Zhang Xianzhong's treasure income should be used for the principal of the Bank of Sichuan, so that the business of the Bank of Sichuan could be better developed.

The remaining part is used for the special salary expenses of the Qihan army in the hands of the Communist Association, as well as the operating funds of the local branches of the Communist Association.

Including but not limited to entertainment expenses, referral fees, progress expenses, bereavement expenses, special expenses, family expenses, etc.

It is necessary to firmly control the Sichuan Qihan army in their hands.

"I used to hear the older generation talk about this, but I didn't think that the eight kings really had treasures to sink in the river, and there were so many."

Fan Wei must have been surprised, and Jia Liu was not surprised at all.

Various official and unofficial records at the end of the Ming Dynasty show that Zhang Xianzhong was attacked by the Ming army on the Minjiang River, resulting in a staggering amount of treasures stolen from the Chu Palaces of Hubei, the Shu Palaces of Chengdu, and the raids on the Ming Dynasty's prefectures.

In the previous life, the archaeological team members did start the salvage project of this treasure, and the harvest was huge, and it was based on the continuous loss and theft of the treasure over the centuries.

Now it is only a hundred years since Zhang Xianzhong died against the Qing Dynasty, and there are at least seventy or eighty percent of the treasures left at the bottom of the river.

The reason why the Qing court was able to quickly pacify China after entering the customs was that the wealth of the Ming Jingshi that was snatched from Li Zicheng was tens of millions of taels to support their various soldiers.

Zhang Xianzhong crisscrossed many places, although he did not break through the Beijing Division, and his gains were not as good as Li Zicheng's, but it was also an astonishing astronomical amount.

It is conservatively estimated that the value of 10 million taels is still there.

In the past, President Li's annunciation would definitely make Jia Liu dance excitedly and scald a pot of wine, but now it is a little unfazed.

There was no way, he had been knocked down by the report of the Sticky Rod's secret investigation of the annual income of more than 50 million taels of the Thirteen Banks in Guangdong.

No matter how big the treasure is, it is not as good as opening the door to trade with Western countries.

Therefore, the matter of Beiyang trade cannot be delayed.

The last letter was sent by Zu Yingyuan, the deputy general of Jinchuan Town.

The letter says two things.

First, Feng Sheng, the general of Dingxi who led the army out of Sichuan and entered Huguang to fight, has captured Jingzhou.

Second, after capturing Jingzhou, Feng Shengyi formulated a grand plan for a comprehensive encirclement.

This plan looks very much like a copy of Yang Sichang, the secretary of the military department in the late Ming Dynasty, "four positive and six corners, ten sides of the net".

Or rather, the fifth encirclement and suppression launched by the reactionary Qing government army against the progressive Xinghan army.

The plan is very large, involving the five provinces of Sichuan, Hubei, Hunan, Henan, and Jiangxi, and it is planned to use nearly 100,000 troops.

In addition to the more than 40,000 main forces of the Han Dynasty brought by Fengsheng from Jinchuan, more than 10,000 people from the Sichuan Green Battalion, which had been fighting in Huguang in the early stage, and more than 10,000 people from the Huguang Green Battalion, also participated in the battle.

In addition, nearly 10,000 battalions from Henan and Jiangxi provinces will participate in the war, more than 10,000 people from Chen Huizu, the governor of Huguang, and Zheng Dajin, the governor of Hubei, who have retreated to Hunan, and more than 10,000 people from the regiment who have been urgently recruited by the governor of Hunan.

The Henan soldiers, Jiangxi soldiers, Hunan soldiers, and Hubei soldiers were mainly used for peripheral blockade, and the main offensive force was the Fengsheng Headquarters, as well as the Sichuan Green Battalion, which had been trying to pursue and suppress in the early stage.

The plan should have been submitted to the Beijing division as soon as possible, and it only needs to be approved by the emperor, and the military department and the household department will give sufficient money and food to implement it.

Zu Yingyuan estimated that by mid-to-late February next year at the latest, Fengsheng would use troops on a large scale.

The purpose of writing the letter is to hope that the six great devils will quickly get an idea.

Otherwise, if Fengsheng really won Wuchang, they would all be finished.
