After a while, Burney had already followed Daniel Zhang, a "paralyzed general" in a palanquin, and Zhao Liangdong, a "slave training minister" who did not do his job, to the outside of the urn city in Andingmen.

Outside the tall and majestic castle, Burney saw something strange again.

What he saw this time was a group of about 200 people, neatly arranged, that is, the Qing army's shotgunmen and pikemen who were a little wrong with "Se'er".

Hmm, these shotguns and pikemen should be the Eight Banners, right? They are all wearing blue gowns, and the formation is quite neat. It's just that the face is a little bit bad, half of them are white, half of them are black!

And when they lined up, they were standing next to each other with a white face! It's really fun to line up in black and white.

That white face is normal, but those black faces seem to be a little too dark, like black charcoal!

"What kind of soldier is this? Which flag? Why is the face so dark? Got ink? When Burney saw these "black-faced and white-faced eight-banner soldiers", he really couldn't help it, so he asked Zhao Liangdong and Daniel Zhang around him about military secrets.

"Those are the Shangsanqi clothed foreign slaves under the Ministry of Internal Affairs!" Daniel Zhang said with a smile, "Those black faces are not smeared with ink, they are born so black, and they can't be white when they wash their faces ten times a day." ”

"Yes, yes, it can't be washed." Zhao Liangdong added on the side, "When these black foreign slaves were just sent from Guangdong and Macao, King Yu also thought that they could be washed white, and he also issued an order for them to wash them well, but it was useless!" ”

"Guangdong, Macau?" Burney was stunned again, "Aren't they minions of the Internal Affairs Bureau?" How did you come from Macau, Guangdong? ”

Daniel Zhang said with a smile: "Wang Ye, you don't know that the reason why these foreign coats of the Internal Affairs Office are called foreign coats is because they are not people of China, but pirate profiteers from Western Portugal. During the Ming Dynasty, the ancestors of this group occupied a place called Haoao on the coast of Xiangshan, Guangdong, as a stronghold for trade and smuggling, and they have been unknown to this dynasty.

Later, when the current dynasty moved the border and forbade the sea, the emperor remembered that they were foreigners who came from tens of thousands of miles away in the west, so he rewarded them with the identity of the foreign coat of the internal affairs office. However, these people did not know what to do, and guarded the castle of Macao to resist the heavenly soldiers, and as a result, the royal army and his son broke the castle with a cupola cannon, and all of them were detained as foreign slaves of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and most of them were arranged to work as errands under the Jinhai Customs Road under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. ”

"Tens of thousands of miles away in the West. Ah, they're the Lusters! Brni finally understood, "I didn't expect this man to be black." ”

"Hehe, the world is so big, there are no surprises!" Zhao Liangdong said with a smile, "Xia Guan heard that this color eye person is not only black, but also red, blue, and green color people!" ”

"So many colors!" Burnny was not surprised, and thought: When I become the Great Khan of Mongolia in the future, I must lead my troops to the west, and when the time comes, I will also catch some colorful people!

"By the way, how did they become soldiers?" Burnie's curiosity was still quite large, and after a while, he inquired again, "Aren't they from Jinhaiguan?" ”

"It's not like there's no one anymore!" Daniel Zhang said with a bitter smile, "Now the serious Eight Banners disciples in Beijing City, as long as they can still go to the battlefield, are sent everywhere to resist Wu Sangui and Li Zicheng. Even the elite of the coated minions of each banner have gone, and the military training minister of Qingzhi (Zhao Liangdong) has no coated minions to practice now, so he has to train Su La's slaves.

And these foreign slaves are still clothed, and they are all on errands in the Tianjin Customs Guard Barracks, so King Yu asked Yang Daotai to bring them to Beijing as guards. ”

It turned out that the "black and white" Eight Banners soldiers that Burney saw were all Portuguese coats captured by Wang Zhongxiao for Kangxi in Macao.

Most of these foreign coatings were able to build ships, strike iron, and translate books, and most of them were left in Macao for Wang Zhongxiao to serve the Guangdong Customs Road.

The merchants who did the maritime trade or the officials of the Portuguese authorities in Macao were divided into two parts, one stayed in Macao and the other was sent to the north, and they were all on errand in the Tianjin Customs Road under the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

In addition, there are some Portuguese masters who are mercenaries, Wang Zhongxiao can't look down on them at all, so he sent them to Fuquan and Yang Qilong - Western military science in these years is indeed leading after the baptism of thirty years of war. But it was not Portugal that was leading, let alone the Portuguese colonizers of Macau.

The tactics of these Portuguese colonists were still at the level of the Spanish phalanx, and Portugal was originally a feudal society, how advanced could the colonists who came out of there be? Is it inappropriate to have the opportunity to be a feudal lord?

Therefore, those Portuguese colonial soldiers in Macao are all old soldiers, all of them have a bunch of slaves, and when they go into battle, they are often a white-skinned old man leading a few mixed-race white-skinned soldiers, and then a few black-skinned slave soldiers. Of course, Wang Zhongxiao couldn't look down on such an army, so he gave it to Yang Qilong.

And Yang Qilong is not used to the Portuguese white-skinned master, what white, black, and flower, in his opinion, they are all the same, they are all equal coated minions! No one can discriminate against anyone, in order to reflect the equal treatment, Yang Qilong also gave them a clamp flower formation, a white (mixed) and a black, and made a black and white foreign gun team (foreign slave gun team), which became the guards of the Tianjin Customs Road.

After Fuquan heard about it, he thought that this black and white foreign gun team was very interesting, so he asked Yang Qilong to take them to Beijing to show off.

Who knew that in Burney's view, this was proof of the emptiness of Beijing's military forces!

Look, what troops are left in Beijing now? The black and white eyes, the paralyzed man who went into battle to make people lift, and the Sulajia slave soldiers who couldn't fight if they listened to it, the number of Qi in the Qing Dynasty must be exhausted!

And when Burney and Fuquan entered Beijing from Andingmen together, he was even more convinced that the Qing Dynasty was going to end and the Great Yuan was coming!

Because of the popularity in the inner city of Beijing, it is a lot worse than when he came to see his father last year!

The street is empty, there are few pedestrians, and occasionally I see a few, all of them are old and weak, not to mention Ding Zhuang, even women and children are not very visible.

There is no doubt that the Qing Dynasty is almost at the end of its rope!

Just when Bulni was thinking about how to rejuvenate Dayuan while the Qing Dynasty was about to end, Yuwang Fuquan, who was walking with him, suddenly pulled the reins and said with a smile: "King Chahar, your palace has arrived. I'll send you here today, your old king has a bad temper, so I won't go in with you. Persuade him, O you. Ming'er remembered to take your old king to the palace to see the queen mother. ”

King Chaha looked up, and sure enough, he arrived at his own palace where the courtyard was cold, and he hurriedly hugged his fist at Fuquan: "Okay, King Yu, I know, I must talk about him well." ”

"That's okay, see you later!"

"See you back!"

Fuquan and Burni exchanged a few words, and they broke up before the Chahar Palace-Burnni's Ama Abu Nai is a short-tempered man, and he has been locked up for so many years, and he is a master who sees who scolds whom, that is, he sees that Bumu Butai still has some face, so Fuquan is not willing to meet him.

And Fuquan still has something to do!

Yang Qilong built a big house in Pimp Hutong, set up a "foreign language cram school" in it, and selected a few white-skinned or mixed-race beauties from foreign slaves to teach foreign languages to Fuquan.

Fuquan is such a studious prince, he has to learn

And Daniel Zhang and Zhao Liangdong are not willing to meet with Chahar Lao Wang. The old king is also the king, and they have to kowtow to that old thing, how boring is it?

If you have this kung fu, let's go and practice for a while!

Now is an eventful season, and the Fifth Battalion of Patrol and Arrest in Beijing and the "New Army of Domestic Slaves" do not know when they will have to go to the battlefield, and if they do not train well, they will be in great trouble.

On the other end, Burney didn't have the time to communicate with Fuquan, Daniel Zhang, Zhao Liangdong, and others, and he was still anxious to discuss the big matter of anti-Qing restoration with his old Ama Abu Nai!

Their Golden Family has been waiting for this day for too long. Now Kangxi and Wu Sangui are fighting for life and death in the Guanlong area, and they cannot be separated. The children of the Eight Banners suffered heavy losses, and even those who were still alive were sent to various fronts, and some went to operate a retreat outside the Guan.

The city of Beijing can't be said to be empty, and there are not many serious defenders now, and they can't stop the Mongol warriors of Chahar at all

"Father, the child has already inquired with Zhang Cripple and Zhao Liangdong, and now the troops in Beijing City are very empty, only 3,000 soldiers from the Green Battalion patrolling the fifth battalion, 10,000 Sulajia slave soldiers from the Fengtai battalion, and probably some strange black and white foreign slave soldiers and a small number of Imperial City guards, and the total strength will not exceed 15,000. And Kangxi Xiaodujun has given the child the right to command the Eight Banners of Chahar. Plus the Chahar warriors of the outer domain directly under the child. We can make up to 30,000 Mongolian horsemen! 30,000 iron cavalry against 15,000 miscellaneous troops, this is impossible to lose! ”

"Do the nobles and herdsmen on the grass remember Da Yuan?"

"Remember, how can you not remember that the Mongols on the steppe have been bullied too bitterly by the Manchurians over the years! Those Manchurians regarded the Han land within the Great Wall as their own farmland, and we Mongolians were not allowed to rob it, and they also regarded the grange outside the gate as a retreat from Manchuria, and we Mongolians were not allowed to touch it. In the past, the Mongols could still rob the Han people of grain and goods in a famine year, but now they can only starve to death.

What's even more hateful is that the Manchurians also divided the land of fixed grazing for the Monan tribes, and we Mongolians were not allowed to move by water and grass, nor were they allowed to merge with each other, and there were no good Mongolian men on the steppe who did not hate the Manchurians!

Everyone is looking forward to heroes like Genghis Khan returning to the steppe and leading the Mongols to live a better life like before! ”

In the Chahar Palace, he was discussing with the old prince Abu Nai about the raid on Beijing City and the restoration of the Qing Dynasty!

Now in this world, the Qing Dynasty is really stormy! The Han people want to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and the Mongols also hate it so much that they want to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore it nine times out of ten!

Although the Manchurian Emperor is now the Great Khan of the Mongols, and he still talks to the Mongols all day long about the "Manchu and Mongolian family", in fact, only the Eight Banners of Mongolia, that is, the Mongols who have entered the Eight Banners, and a small number of Horqin Mongol princes and Manchurians are one.

And for the vast majority of the Mongols in the steppe, it is now dark!

Before the Qing Dynasty, the unorganized Mongols in the steppe broke into the Great Wall from time to time to plunder, and the Ming Dynasty never completely brought down the Mongols like the Qing Dynasty - of course, the Mongols encountered in the early Ming Dynasty were not the same as the Mongols encountered in the early Qing Dynasty. The former were the energetic and ferocious Mongols. And the Mongolians encountered by the latter are no longer very good, at least the Mongolians in Monan and Mobei are not very good, and Moxi Mongolia is still very good at cutting people. However, those Monans and Mongols who were not good at cutting people were repaired and controlled by the Qing Dynasty.

One can't rob, two can't run, and three can't annex each other, this Mongolia is not controlled by the Manchurians too Mongolian!

However, Abu Nai, who had been imprisoned by the Manchurians for several years, like his son Burnni, still believed that the Mongols of Chahar were as fierce and warlike as they had been in the past.

"Good!" Abu Nai nodded, "Thirty thousand to fight and fifteen thousand to win!" But son, you still can't take it lightly, and you have to paralyze Fuquan and Bumu Butai as much as possible until the last moment! ”

Burney also smiled and nodded: "Boy understands! The child will definitely pretend to be a loyal servant again! ”

Guangdong Province, Guangzhou Fucheng.

Now the administrative center of Guangzhou is still in Foshan, and the vitality of Guangzhou City has gradually begun to recover.

The Canton Mansion, which had suffered heavy losses in the previous war to wipe out the Pingnan Palace, has now finally been cleaned up. The so-called cleanup is not just as simple as cleaning up the battlefield, collecting corpses, and cleaning up burned buildings. Rather, it includes the liquidation and sorting of various movable and immovable properties of the Pingnan Domain!

The Pingnan royal palace was sealed in Guangdong for more than 20 years, and the population of the feudal domain has skyrocketed to more than 100,000, and the accumulated property is of course an astronomical amount. It is impossible to change the surname of all this property to Wang, but Wang Zhongxiao can't watch them lose, why do you have to eat more than half of them?

In addition, Wang Fuchen, Wang Zhongxiao, Wang Jizhen, Kong Jiqing, their father and son also have to work together to establish a regime that can rule the two Guangzhou, although Wang Fuchen's father and son asked Kangxi and Wu Sangui to seal the four festival envoys, but that is all for the above, Wang Fuchen's father and son are not stupid, what they actually want to establish is a unified management, and at the same time can realize the separation of power between father and son and brother.

It's just that the territory of Liangguang is big and fat, a bit eye-catching, and it must be low-key. Therefore, Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao deliberately highlighted the "separation of powers" and covered up the "unification".

In order to personally keep an eye on this important matter, Wang Zhongxiao even put aside the big project of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty for the time being, but let Chen Yonghua, He Tianran, Yu Haitao, Wang Leiyong, as well as Wang An, Wang Quan and others accompany Wang Shiyuan, the third prince of Zhu, and Liu Jinzhong, the envoy of Chao Haijun, to go east to Fujian together.

Of course, this big project against the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Zhongxiao will have to keep an eye on it himself in the end. If he didn't keep an eye on this project personally, relying on those henchmen, he wouldn't be able to resist the black hands of Geng Jingzhong and Zheng Jing.

However, Wang Zhongxiao's roots are still in Guangdong, especially in Guangzhou.

So after helping the third prince Zhu to power, he still had to return to Guangdong, and then let his agent stay in Nanjing to watch the field.

"Dad, look at this. This is the "Guangdong Governance Charter", "New Army and Township Army Charter", and "Weigong Court Charter" jointly drafted by his son and eldest brother, Master Yu, Zhongyi, Zhongxian, and Zhongren, all of which were drafted according to the method we discussed a while ago. Please take a look at it. ”

In a four-cornered building in Foshan, a meeting attended by the core backbone of the Tiandihui regime of the Liangguang Wang clan is underway.

Wang Fuchen took the three drafts handed over by his son and began to look through them page by page.

The first thing he read was the "Guangdong Governance Charter" - Wang Zhongxiao is not rash in doing things, and pays attention to one step at a time, so he is not busy with Guangxi's affairs first, and it is good to sort out Guangdong's side clearly.

Even in Guangdong, there are still two provinces missing!

Chaozhou Mansion is still the territory of Liu Jinzhong and Qiu Hui!

And the Lianzhou Mansion was under the control of Wu Sanwei.

The remaining state capitals in Guangdong were divided into three parts, which were managed by three "festival divisions", among which the territory of the Guangdong Navy Festival Division, where Wang Zhongxiao personally served as the festival envoy, was adjusted to Guangzhou Prefecture, Shaozhou Prefecture and Nanxiong Prefecture, and the Jinghai Festival Division with Wang Jizhen as the festival envoy had jurisdiction over Zhaoqing Prefecture, Gaozhou Prefecture, Leizhou Prefecture, Qiongzhou Prefecture and Luoding Prefecture, and the Huihai Festival Division with Wang Jiyong as the nominal festival envoy managed Huizhou.

In fact, these three local governments with relatively large powers have certain financial, judicial, and civil powers, and at the same time have jurisdiction over the local township army.

On top of these three sections, there is also the Liangguang Governor's Ya Si set up in Zhaoqing - this is actually the "center" of the Liangguang secession regime, and a considerable part of the money and grain received by the three major sections will be suppressed to the Governor's Yamen, and the new army, the military pillar of the Liangguang secession regime (composed of professional new officers and soldiers and village soldiers who serve in turn), will also be under the jurisdiction of the Liangguang Governor's Yamen after expansion.

Of course, Wang Zhongxiao and Wang Jizhen both have to concurrently serve as the chief soldier of the new army in a town!

In addition, Wang Zhongyi, Wang Zhongren, Cai Yuan, Shao Lingzhi, Bai Guangyong and others also became the chief soldiers of a town!

That is to say, after the completion of the expansion, the Guangdong New Army (excluding the Guangxi Army) will have as many as seven towns, and the number of people can reach 70,000 when it is full!

If you add the Wang army in Guangxi, the army of 890,000 can also be pulled out.

In addition to the establishment of a separatist regime and an army, the third priority is to set up a consultative body called "Wei Gongtang", which will be served by representatives of gentry and merchants from each prefecture (prefecture) of the three divisions, and celebrities, who will be mainly responsible for making suggestions to the royal family and his son.

These "charters", of course, have been discussed with Wang Fuchen a long time ago, and now Wang Fuchen is also pretending to take a look, after reading it, he did not discuss the charter with Wang Zhongxiao, but asked more urgent things: "Second brother, there is an envoy of Li Fengtian recently, it is Huang Zhisheng of the Huang family, the original wealthy Huang family in Xinhui County, do we want to meet one?" ”
