Chapter 262: Silver Bullets, Meat Bullets, Cannonballs! (Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass)
"Amitabha, good, good. So speaking of which, your sister is indeed a red face! The great monk of Shunzhi clasped his hands together, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Master Yang, is there more such disasters in your family?" ”
"Many! That's a lot! Yang Jia Qilong looked helpless, "My father has a lot of assets, and he went to Tianjin to live in seclusion with the N family of the former Ming Dynasty, and naturally raised many children, and most of the girls who were slaves grew up with their mothers, all of them were red faces and troubled After the death of the father, the slave had to take care of these girls as the eldest brother, and he was really sad and sad!" ”
The great monk of Shunzhi sighed and said, "Yes, the pink skeleton, the white bones, the skin and the flesh are all vain, how can you, as a brother, not worry?" It's better to do this, if you think that any girl is particularly vain, send it to the poor monk, and the poor monk will pass on some of her Buddhism, so that she can know what is selfless, nobody, sentient beings, and lifeless. ”
Yang Jia Qilong looked admired, "Bodhisattva, you are really too high, the disciple has been trapped by this red and pink skeleton, white flesh and flesh for all these years, and he is really distressed The disciple will return to Tianjin this time, and he will definitely send the most vain girl to the Bodhisattva to learn Buddhism." ”
Yang Jia Qilong is indeed trapped by vanity. At least before Wang Zhongxiao and Fuquan were hooked, they were quite sleepy.
There are always a large group of stunners around me, but they are all their own half-sisters, and everyone has to be sleepy! If these girls are released, it is easy to attract bees and butterflies, and if they marry out, they have to pay a dowry, and sell them to others as concubines Tianjin Weiyang's family Although the family is in the middle of the road, it has not reached that point!
And Wang Datou's strong acceptance of Yang Xiaohuan made Yang Qilong, a gangster figure in the rivers and lakes, reacquaint himself with his good sister - this is not "sleepy", this is a resource!
The great monk of Shunzhi listened to Yang Jiaqilong's words, and also nodded, satisfied. He wanted to ask when the pink skeleton and white flesh and skin of Yang Jia's family would be able to come to the palace to practice with him, and a voice outside that sounded a little old and a little sharp reported as if singing: "The foreman left behind the minister Suo Etu, please meet." ”
This Suo Etu came just in time, and Fuquan hurriedly opened his mouth and shouted "Xuan!" ”
Of course, he knew that his Ama was "dedicated", and he especially liked beautiful women, and he spoiled a filial piety queen to the sky back then. If there is another "Yang Jiashi" who is more beautiful than Queen Xiaoxian, and there are a few "Prince Rong", does this Ama still love him?
So it's better to put off this matter for a while.
The great monk of Shunzhi knew that Suo Etu came over at this time, and there must be something important, so he put away the thought of turning the "pink skull" and waited to see Suo Etu.
When an elderly eunuch lifted the yellow satin curtain, Suo Etu bent down, walked into the palace respectfully, and when he came to Fuquan, he said: "Slave Suo Etu invites the regent Da'an!" Then he knelt down and kowtowed to the regent Fuquan. As for the great monk of Shunzhi, Suo Etu just bowed to him after worshipping Fuquan and asked, "Master is well." ”
In fact, there are many people in Beijing who have noticed that there is a "Shunzhi haunt" - Shunzhi Zen Yin has only been more than ten years now, and there are still some people in Beijing who can recognize him.
But since the Regent's Mansion didn't announce anything, then everyone should have seen nothing. Everyone who can recognize the Shunzhi Emperor knows that the great monk of Shunzhi is now immortal and alive is the person who wrote the edict written by the first emperor himself! If he is resurrected, then he is the emperor, and he will lose the function of issuing edicts.
So no one will be bored to break it, even if it is broken, there is a high probability that they will give their own heads.
And Suo Etu is one of the few ministers who officially recognizes Shunzhi, but he will only give Shunzhi a big gift when there are no outsiders. Today, Yang Jia Qilong is present, and he can only perform a Buddhist salute to the old master.
"Get up, Qilong, you get up too." Fuquan said, his voice was low.
Suo Etu and Yang Qilong both stood up, hanging their hands, and waited for Fuquan to continue speaking.
"Suo Etu, have the soldiers and horses of the rebel king crossed the Yellow River?"
"Not yet, Wang Reyi's thief army is still operating in Fengyang Mansion. According to the military report sent by Suzhou, Wang Yi's cavalry had appeared near Luojiaji. ”
"How far is it from the Yellow River?"
"There are still 200 miles, and it is still early to cross the Yellow River!"
Anhui in this era not only has the Yangtze River and the Huai River, but also embraces the Yellow River from time to time - the course of the Yellow River is to seize the Huai River into the sea, so the Xuzhou section of the Yellow River is very close to Fengyang, Anhui. As long as there is a slight break, Anhui will be able to embrace the Yellow River.
And this Yellow River bursts. For both warring sides, this is a big problem!
"How's the river defense?"
"Li Shajiabao, the commander of the regiment, Wang Guangyu, the governor of the river, and Shang Kejiao, the chief soldier of Xuzhou Town, have already sent troops to the embankment."
Suo Etu only said that he would send troops to the embankment, but he didn't say whether he was preparing to defend the embankment or preparing to break the embankment, and Fuquan didn't ask, he just nodded and was satisfied. He wanted to ask about Kangxi's side, but after hesitating, he changed the topic and said, "Now the feudal lords of several provinces still send the spring tax of Kangxi's thirteenth year to us?" ”
Compared with the Northern Expeditionary Army that resisted Li Zhongshan, Fuquan was more concerned about the spring tax of Kangxi's thirteenth year!
In the twelfth year of Kangxi, the autumn taxes sent from all over the country were put in the pocket of Fuquan's regent palace, when Kangxi was besieged, and the Qing Dynasty forces outside Xi'an respected Fuquan, and of course the taxes were given to him.
However, Xi'an has now been relieved, and Kangxi also specially issued an edict to the local government to send Kangxi's thirteen-year spring tax to Puzhou, Shanxi, and hand it over to Tong Guowei, the governor of Shanxi, whom Kangxi had just appointed. Then Tong Guowei organized people to buy grain, gunpowder, swords, armor, horses and other materials in Shanxi and send them to Xi'an.
"The spring taxes of Zhili and Shandong have been sent to Beijing. Shanxi's money and grain were sent to Xi'an, and Shaanxi and Henan had become the forefront of the war between the official army and the traitors, and the spring tax was withheld by the local government for military expenses. ”
"What about Liangjiang and Zhejiang? In the past, the bulk of the imperial court's tax revenue fell on Liangjiang and Zhejiang, and this year, who did the spring tax of Liangjiang and Zhejiang go to? ”
When Suo Etu heard this question, he smiled and took out a copy of the book, and handed it to Fuquan with both hands: "Regent, this is King An leading the Governor of Caoyun Mingzhu, the Governor of Jiangsu Ma Hu, the Governor of Anhui Jin Fu, the Governor of Jiangxi Lang Tingxiang, the Governor of Zhejiang Tian Fengji, as well as the three major weaving Langzhong plus the two Huai salt envoys, and the head of the Ruixin Hall to give you the Qiben!" ”
"What? So many people went to the book together? What's the good thing? ”
"What a joy! They knew that the regent needed money here, so they raised a large sum of silver, food, silk, and cloth for you! ”
Fuquan's heart was suddenly surprised, but he didn't reveal too much, paused for a moment, and asked, "How much is a large sum?" ”
"There are about 10,000,000,000 taels of silver, seven or eight million horses of silk and cotton cloth, and six or seven million stones of white rice!"
"Great!" Fuquan couldn't hold back any longer, and they all cheered.
He's already quite rich!
Although Beijing's official treasury is empty, Yang Qilong, Li Zhongshan (Wang Zhongxiao), and Chen Yonghua have accumulated tens of millions of taels of silver and family property for him in recent years (most of which are special deposits of Credit Suisse Hall), and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is rich in the world!
Now there are more ten million taels of silver, seven or eight million silk silks and cloths, and the total value of the goods in his hands can be thirty million taels! Before the chaos in the world, the Qing Dynasty's annual income was no more than that.
With such a large sum of money, he is not afraid to compete with Kangxi for silver bullets!
Moreover, Liangjiang and three provinces, Zhejiang, Zhili, and Shandong also sent him silver, which shows that these six provinces support him for happiness!
And only one Shanxi sent money to Kangxi, and Henan, Shaanxi, and Gansu probably also supported Kangxi, but these three provinces are already war zones, and they are not rich in the first place, and now they really have no money to send.
In other words, Kangxi got the support of four provinces at most.
In addition, the southern Mongolia outside the Seychelles now also listens to Fuquan, and the prince Chang Ning of the council outside the Guanguan will most likely stay out of the matter.
Therefore, Fuquan has six provinces plus Monan Mongolia, and Kangxi is supported by four provinces at most.
It's seven to four, and Fuquan wins!
After comparing the silver bullets, of course, it was the cannonballs.
It seems that there are more troops loyal to Fuquan than to Kangxi!
Not to mention the armies on the territory of these seven provinces, but compared with their respective descendants, Fuquan is also more than Kangxi.
Now there are 15,000 new troops in Beijing, 10,000 banner troops of Chahar Mongolia, 5,000 Tumut banner troops, 3,000 Zhili training troops pulled up by Yang Qilong according to the method of regimental training in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, 3,000 soldiers of the green battalion of the fifth battalion of patrolling, 2,000 cavalry of the Shanpu battalion, and 2,000 Sauron and Balhu banner troops from outside the pass, a total of 40,000 troops!
These 40,000 troops are all well-equipped and well-trained, except for the previous battle against Chahar, these troops have hardly been on the battlefield, and have been recuperating.
And in addition to silver bullets and cannonballs, Fuquan also has a trump card in his hand. It's the meat bullet provided by Yang Qilong!
In addition to Yang Qilong's own sisters, there are also those sisters he got from North Korea, which are also quite beautiful. After Kangxi gives up the throne, give him more sisters and let him enjoy it!
Just as he was thinking about the good thing, Suo Etu reminded him softly: "Regent, this book says that the Yellow River may be broken through by the rebels at any time, and the transportation may also be cut off at that time.
"How's that good?" Fuquan was a little anxious, and at the same time a little angry - that Wang Datou was too hateful!
"King An and Mingzhu proposed in the book that they could transport silver, silk, cloth, and other valuable things to Tianjin by sea."
Fuquan interrupted and said, "Yang Jia Qilong, how many sea vessels are available in the Jinhaiguan Road you are in charge of?" ”
"There are more than a hundred, all of them are big ships with more than 3,000 materials!"
"Enough!" Fuquan said, "Send it out to me, and transport all the goods, including food, to Tianjin Wei. But you don't have to go with the boat. Let that foreign slave Rotoni lead the team. ”
Fuquan kept an eye on it and took Yang Qilong down as a hostage.
"The minion commands."
Suo Etu and Yang Jiaqilong received Fuquan's order and both retired.
Seeing the two of them leaving, Fu Quancai turned his head and asked the great monk of Shunzhi: "Amma, look at this."
A lot of smiles appeared on the pale face of the great monk of Shunzhi, and then he lowered his voice slightly and said: "Fuquan, you are really more capable than the third elder brother, if I had chosen you to be the emperor earlier, the world must be very stable today. But it's not too late to make amends. ”
"Amma, do you really want to change the emperor?" Fuquan was a little unsure, and a little unbearable to ask.
"Change! It should be changed, this is also for the Qing Dynasty and the world. ”
"But how is the emperor going to change? He is far away in Xi'an now, so he can't send troops to fight, right? ”
"Of course not," Shunzhi said in a low voice, "Fuquan, don't make a noise, when the Tianjin Customs Road transports things to Beijing, I have my own way to bring the third elder brother to Beijing to be confined!" ”
Fuquan's expression was solemn, he pondered for a moment, and finally as if he had made a huge determination, he nodded and said: "For the sake of the world, for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, I have to do this."
Li Yat-sen is now stationed in a village called Luojiaji, which sits on a flat plain with no shelter. Because this area is sandwiched between the Yellow River and the Huai River, after the Yellow River seized the Huai River into the sea in the Southern Song Dynasty, there were often large floods here. During the most serious flood in Chongzhen, because of the abnormal climate, this area was flooded twice in five years until Xuzhou City, which was 200 miles away, and the Xuzhou City was the most seriously affected, once for three years and once for two years!
It is equivalent to soaking alive for five years, and the city was directly abolished, and the current Xuzhou City was rebuilt on the original abandoned city.
Because the flood is so serious, the villages in this area are built like castles, and there is a circle of waterproof embankments around the perimeter of the villages, and some villages with strong financial resources will also build this embankment high and thick. In the middle and late Qing Dynasty, it was difficult for the weak officers and soldiers to conquer these soil enclosures, and this area was often flooded, causing the common people to have to engage in some side business of robbing houses and houses in the year of disasters and gradually cultivating martial virtues.
However, at present, although the Huaibei area is also quite poor, it has not yet developed a twist army. It's just that the earthen fence of this "set" and that "set" has been repaired a lot, and this folk style is also quite strong. Before the cavalry led by Li Zhongshan and Ma Weixing arrived, Haoqiang here in Luojiaji had already set up his own regiment, and after arming himself, he united with several nearby sets to uproot all the Qing Dynasty strongholds around Suzhou City.
At that time, Li Zhongshan, who was still in Fengyang Mansion to appease the people and settle the families of the army, learned the news, and immediately took Ma Weixing and 2,000 cavalry to Luojiaji together.
Now these 2,000 cavalry are stationed in Luojiaji, Nanpingji and Yuanjiaji, and they are about to attack Suzhou.
Li Yat-sen's Chinese army was placed in a luxuriously furnished courtyard in Luojiaji, and more than a dozen tents were set up around the house, and a part of the cavalry of the Shanzi battalion was stationed; Sentinels are set up at several nearby intersections and are heavily guarded. Shang Shuying also followed Li Zhongshan with several female soldiers, and made a cameo appearance as a quartermaster, taking care of supplies, chores, etc. At the same time, he was also a hostage - because Liu Jinzhong was stationed in Fengyang City at this time, Li Zhongshan brought Shang Shuying out.
But today, she was called to Li Yat-sen's Chinese military duty room to participate in the military plane.
"Shuying, there seems to be an uncle of yours in Xuzhou, named Shang Kejiao, who has just taken office as the chief soldier of Xuzhou."
The reason why Li Zhongshan asked this question is, of course, because Zhou Chang is not there, Zhou Chang is also in Fengyang, there are more chores there, and he has to watch Liu Jinzhong!
"What," Shang Shuying chuckled, "Zhongtang, don't you see the surname Shang and say it's my uncle." This Shang Kejiao is not from my family, he is the son of Shang Haoren, the former Wenzhou commander-in-chief. ”
"Good guys?" Li Zhongshan was stunned for a moment and thought: This name is so strange!
Shang Shuying knew that Li Zhongshan had misunderstood, so she explained with a smile: "Good and bad are good, benevolent and righteous are still benevolent." Zhongtang, why did you ask about him? ”
"We might have to fight him." Li Zhongshan didn't hide it from her, "I just received a report from Nanjing, Yue Le's offensive has been fierce these days, and he has captured Xianhe Gate, Qilin Gate, Cangbo Gate, Gaoqiao Gate, and Shangmen one after another. Geng Jingzhong sent your brother Shang Zhixin to lead the team to attack several times, but he was unable to take advantage of Yue Le. It seems that all the gates in the outer city of Nanjing, except for the Jiangdong Gate, will be lost in a short time.
In addition, Jieshu did not entangle with us in Hezhou, but crossed the river to take the quarry rock, and is now attacking the city of Taipingfu Dangtu.
It seems that Yue Le was not fooled, if we can't come and give Yue Le a few hard looks, Nanjing will be besieged sooner or later! ”
Of course, Nanjing is not afraid of encirclement, but the problem is that it is not Hong Xiuquan who is guarding Nanjing now!
Can Geng Jingzhong have the determination to stick to it for ten years? I was beaten to my knees by Yue Le and asked to surrender. In order to bring this pig teammate with him, Li Zhongshan had to make some big ones in Jiangbei, and even cross the Yellow River and attack Xuzhou, an important town on the north bank of the Yellow River.
While studying the defense of Xuzhou, he learned the name of the chief soldier of Xuzhou Town from Luo Dawei, the patriarch of Luojiaji. It sounded like Shang Shuying's uncle, but I didn't expect it to be misunderstood.
Thinking of this, Li Zhongshan asked again: "Shuying, then do you know that this Shang Ke can still be taught well?" Can you abandon the darkness and turn to the light? ”
