"Defeated..."

Fukangan closed his eyes in pain.

The defeat is like a mountain.

Now I have this little force on hand.

It is impossible to defend Guangzhou.

Where are you going now?

"Commander, withdraw! The Eight Banners of the Guangzhou Garrison and the Loyal and Brave Battalion cannot be folded here. ”

Sun Qijiao sighed and said.

"Where to go?" Fukangan instinctively asked.

"Go to Zhaoqing!" Sun Qijiao gritted his teeth and said.

"Zhaoqing? Can Zhaoqing hold on? ”

Fukangan himself has no confidence.

"If you can't keep it, go to Wuzhou!" Sun Qijiao stomped his feet, "Commander, we can't do without a little force at hand, otherwise the Ming Dynasty will not just take Guangdong!" ”

Fukangan was shocked.

That's right.

Now Zhu Daohua's takeover of Guangdong is a sure thing.

But if Fukangan also fights out the 5,008 banners and 10,000 loyal battalions in his hand.

Then Zhu Daohua's appetite is probably not only Guangdong.

Although it is said that 5,000 banners and 10,000 loyal battalions could not withstand the Ming army head-on.

But that's not how wars are fought.

There is a way to play that can't be beaten.

As long as Fukangan has this fifteen-thousand-strong army on hand, retreating to Guangxi will be able to oppress the local clans and train bravery.

Pull up another force.

You can maneuver with the Ming army in the south.

If the Ming army is greedy and not enough to have a small number of troops, it wants to swallow the southern provinces.

It depends on whether they have the appetite for this - they can't go head-to-head, they can raid, sneak attack supply lines, and attack other territories against Ming.

In the past, the territory of the Ming Dynasty was far away in the South Seas.

The Qing Dynasty can't reach it.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has taken Guangdong, there is a task to defend the territory.

Until that time.

The Qing army also had room to exert itself.

"That's what Tianquan said! Bento was almost confused! ”

Fukangan called Sun Qijiao's cousin.

"This time I lost, but Daqing hasn't lost yet! We have to defend the southern provinces for the Qing Dynasty and block the traitors in Guangdong! ”

"When the situation settles down, the Governor will return to Beijing to plead guilty..."

Fukangan glanced at the rout that was still pouring in.

A long sigh.

With the Eight Banners Horse Team and 10,000 loyal and brave battalions, he rushed to the direction of Zhaoqing.

.......

"Fukangan has withdrawn!"

Zhu Daohua took a deep breath, and there was some regret in his tone.

"This is also something that can't be helped, we only have more than 10,000 troops, and it is impossible to divide our troops to pursue! The top priority now is to clean up the battlefield as soon as possible, and then first hold Guangzhou in hand, and then divide the troops to get the Shaozhou Mansion and Huizhou Mansion in hand, so that the essence of the entire Guangdong will be in hand! ”

Napoleon said on the side.

Zhu Daohua nodded.

"Anyway, this one is a big win! It is only a matter of time before the whole of Guangdong is in hand, and it is impossible for Fukangan to dare to oppose me in Guangdong. The next question is how to govern Guangdong. ”

Zhu Daohua put down the telescope in his hand.

Gu Song on the side said with a smile: "King, Guangdong has a large population, but it is nothing more than divided into the three major ethnic groups of Guangfu, Hakka, and Chaozhou, and the Hakka people in Jiaying Prefecture are naturally supporters of the king, and there are also many Chaozhou generals under the king, and the next thing is nothing more than how to rectify Guangfu." ”

"The king is at ease, these Cantonese people are not crazy people who are not afraid of death, the king is gracious and powerful, and there is the great righteousness of reviving China, how can the Han people in Canton not vote?"

Zhao Si, the secretary of the Ministry of War, said.

Zhu Daohua smiled when he heard this: "It is difficult to fight the world, and it is even more difficult to govern the world." Guangdong Province is still difficult to sort out, let alone the whole world. If you win Guangdong this time, you will stop here first, work hard in Guangdong for two years, stabilize the rear, train soldiers and horses, and then plot Jiangnan! ”

Frankly.

Boss Zhu really has the idea of bringing down Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Jiangxi, and Hunan provinces together.

But he eventually suppressed his greed.

First of all, in terms of troops.

Now he has 10,000 troops on hand.

If the territory is too large, the defense of these sites will be very problematic.

The second is the lack of reliable cadres on hand.

Guangdong and Lanfang are different.

Guangdong is the land of the Han Dynasty.

Then it can't be as rough as Lan Fang's administrative system - Lan Fang needs to expand in Borneo, so there is a lot of authority at the local level.

In order to pool Guangdong's resources and open up the road to industrialization, it is impossible for the central government to allocate too much power to the localities.

An administrative system from start to finish is a must.

It is impossible for the imperial power not to go to the countryside.

Of course, to what extent, how to manage it, and who to manage.

Again, this is a big problem.

At the same time, any reform will provoke a backlash from interest groups.

Zhu Daohua knows very well that if it is too large-scale rule and reform, the resistance will be relatively greater.

The likelihood of success will be smaller.

Therefore, he still adhered to the plan before sending troops: based on Guangdong, building a system, and guiding the capital in Guangdong to invest in industry.

Under the condition of controlling the Nanyang trade, there is no shortage of markets and raw materials needed for Guangdong's industrialization.

As for the funding...

There are a lot of big guys in Guangdong.

The key is how to get these old rich people to take out their money and invest it.

It's a headache just thinking about these things.

Zhu Daohua shook his head.

The eyes have already looked at the city of Guangzhou.

Enter the city of Guangzhou.

It is also time to publicly play the signboard of the Ming Dynasty emperor.

and the Qing court to have a play against the North Qing and the South Ming.

..........

"Defeated? Why did you lose so quickly?! ”

Guangdong Governor Yamen.

Guo Shixun, who got the news, stared at him with a shocked face.

An army of 100,000.

How long has it been?

Although I lost for a while before.

But this kind of general battle with tens of thousands of troops.

Why do you have to go around for a month, and after testing each other, you will start to fight.

And it's impossible to tell the winner at once.

There is no one for a year and a half.

Where did the army of 100,000 run out so quickly.

What now?

Yesterday, Guo Shixun received a handwritten letter from Fukangan, asking him to prepare to evacuate the family members of the Eight Banners to Zhaoqing Mansion.

It's less than a day.

The Whampoa camp was broken.

100,000 Green Battalion soldiers were defeated.

The news that Fukangan led the Eight Banners Horse Team and the Zhongyong Battalion to retreat to Zhaoqing reached the Yamen of the governor of Guangdong.

That's really bad news.

"How is this possible, this is an army of 100,000!"

Guo Shixun looked at the Guangdong governor guerrilla Lin Guoliang who reported to him in horror.

Zhao Wen, the prefect of Guangzhou, and Xue Siyuan, the envoy of Guangzhou, on the side, were also stunned.

The 100,000-strong army marched under the city of Guangzhou, and the food and supplies were sufficient.

Why is it gone in a day?

Is this fighting with the Ming army or with the Lord of Yama?

It's unbelievable.

"My lord, the anti-Ming artillery is unbelievably sharp, our army was caught off guard, and the army collapsed like an avalanche, it was simply defeated....."

Recall yesterday's big battle.

Lin Guoliang couldn't help but shudder.

"Yang Da... Yang Liufang, the thief, and more than 70 military attachés of the Guangdong Green Battalion all surrendered to the Ming thief, and the hearts of the Green Battalion soldiers were shaken, and they were bombarded by the thunder again, and they collapsed all at once. ”

A military attache of the Green Battalion who fled back to the city said with a sad face.

"Yang Liufang has received the grace of the country, and he actually surrendered, shameless!"

Guangzhou prefect Zhao Wen scolded.

Xue Siyuan, the Guangdong envoy on the side, also echoed the voice.

But the two looked at each other.

Tacit.

Yang Liufang, the Han Army, and the Eight Banners all surrendered.

And his family is among the previous batch of Eight Banners family members who have withdrawn.

Guangdong will definitely not dare to kill.

It has to be reported to Beijing and let the emperor decide.

But this surrendered so many Green Battalion officers.

And if nothing else, there will be more Green Camp military attachés surrendering after this battle.

Until then.

Will the imperial court kill the families of these military attachés?

Fear...

Zhao Wen is a local parent official.

Nature cannot be withdrawn.

And according to the inspector, Xue Siyuan also had to stay behind to guard the governor's yamen.

Guangzhou can't defend it when it sees it.

By that time...

They only have to hang themselves to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty, or surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

If Yang Liufang can surrender.

Maybe....

Both of them stopped talking.

Right now.

Wu Dunyuan, the chief merchant of the Thirteen Banks, and Fang Chu, the Guangdong Customs Depot Clerk, came in a hurry.

"My lord, the silver from the Thirteen Lines Treasury and the Guangdong Customs Treasury must be transported away, so as not to lose to the enemy!"

Guo Shixun had a headache when he heard this.

If the family members of the Eight Banners want to leave, they must bring the soft before they can run away.

If you bring the official silver of the thirteen banks and the Guangdong Customs treasury.

So how else can you go?

Needless to say, the thirteen lines of the treasury are gone.

This is the capital of the thirteen lines of maritime trade.

It hasn't been open for half a year, and it's all piled up in the vault.

There are more than eight million taels.

And there is a lot of money in the treasury of the Guangdong Customs.

Last fall's tax silver and this spring's tax package are here.

There are more than three million taels.

Besides.

Due to the preparations for a big war against the Ming Dynasty on the Guangdong side, they purchased military materials such as ordnance, grain and grass, and also purchased muskets and artillery with foreign merchants.

Therefore, the yamen of the governor of Guangdong also got Qianlong's will, and transferred the local tax revenue of Guangdong last year to the silver treasury of the Guangdong Customs.

As a result, the Guangdong Customs Treasury piled up four million taels of official silver.

The totals add up.

That's 12 million taels.

If so much silver is robbed by the Ming army.

Then Qianlong is afraid that he will be angry to the sky.

But 12 million taels of silver is more than 900,000 catties.

It's fine if there is water transport.

But now on the Pearl River, it is either the ship of the Tiandihui with the flag of the sun and the moon, or the warship of the Ming army.

How safe it is to walk by water.

By road.

That would also be escorted by officers and soldiers.

Otherwise, the underworld on the road every minute will have to stage a scene of robbing the birth gang.

And more than 900,000 catties also have to be transported by a large number of cars and horses.

This is eager.

Where to go to be escorted by soldiers and horses, and where to be transported by vehicles?

"My lord, the best thing now is to deposit the money in HSBC!"

Wu Dunyuan said.

"Deposit to HSBC? Is it reliable? ”

Wu Dunyuan is a big businessman, and he also knows what the most important thing about the bank is: "My lord, the most important thing in the bank is credit, this HSBC bank is said to be a big bank in England, and if you deposit money in it, even if you lose the money in the future, you can hope to go to the head office of HSBC to get the money back." ”

"And HSBC is unreliable, and it's better than throwing money directly to the thief."

"Yes, yes, my lord, this is more than 10 million taels of silver, and this money has gone into the hands of the traitor..."

Guo Shixun also knew the seriousness of the matter when he heard this.

Take 10,000 steps back.

Even if the money is swept away by foreigners.

It's better than Zhu Daohua snatching it.

The money was given to Ming Wei.

It's better to give it to a friend of England.

And this is still a deposit, not a direct give.

"Now that the people of Guangzhou are panicking, will HSBC still accept deposits?"

Guo Shixun asked.

After thinking about it, he asked, "How to calculate the interest?" ”

"Now there is no interest, and many businessmen have transferred their money to the big HSBC bank on the outskirts of the city...."

"Is it safe?"

"It seems to be safe for the time being, the Ming army did not touch the big HSBC bank, it seems that this Rodriguez is not lying, and the Ming really doesn't want to offend England."

"That's good! Go get that Rodriguez and I'll talk to him. ”

........

Naturally, the talks between the two sides were enjoyed by the guests and hosts.

Rodriguez was meant to come for this.

So there are no obstacles to negotiations.

And.

If HSBC can really absorb the treasury silver of the thirteen banks and the official bank of Guangdong Customs.

That would be a huge boost to HSBC's credibility.

Even if the big boss of HSBC is Zhu Daohua, it is excluded.

The Qing court was also a big customer.

This is equivalent to using the credit of the Qing court to endorse HSBC.

In order to get these deposits.

Rodriguez generously gave a cent of interest on the deposit.

Guo Shixun is quite satisfied.

Then Rodriguez sent someone to take over the bank of the Thirteen Banks and the treasury of the Guangdong Customs, and put on the signboard of the HSBC Bank - originally Fukangan did not allow the HSBC Bank to enter the city of Guangzhou, but now the war is in chaos, and the rules and regulations are waived.

Guo Shixun and other local officials in Guangdong just want to get rid of this hot potato.

Bring proof of deposit.

Retreat to Zhaoqing.

Of course, it is impossible to hide the news that HSBC directly occupies the bank treasury of the 13 banks and the bank of the Guangdong Customs, and it is impossible to hide it, which is a big advertisement.

Even the money of the Qing court was deposited in HSBC.

What is the origin of this HSBC bank, and it has suddenly become the most concerned issue for the wealthy families in the panic of Guangzhou.

Soon there were rumors.

It is said that this HSBC is a big bank in the Western superpower of England, and behind it is the Guizhou wealthy family of England.

And Zhu Daohua's Daohua firm in Europa is an important source of support for the Ming army's military spending, so Zhu Daohua does not dare to offend England, otherwise his Daohua firm will not be able to open in Europa.

Therefore, this HSBC bank can reach the sky with its hands and eyes, and even the official bank in Guangdong dares to eat it, and it is determined that the Ming army will not dare to embarrass HSBC.

After the news broke.

Immediately, the wealthy families in Guangzhou City were moved.

The war is in chaos, and the money at home is in trouble.

Although I heard that the military discipline was strict.

But who can guarantee that there will not be one or two stragglers who will take risks?

Or send it to the bank insurance.

All of a sudden.

The wealthy businessmen in Guangzhou rushed to put the storage location at the HSBC Bank of the head office of the 13 banks.

Although there is no interest, it must be converted into HSBC's designated currency when withdrawing money.

But everyone still flocked to it.

......

Guo Shixun, who carried the Guangdong Customs Silver Inventory Payment Certificate, withdrew from Guangzhou City with a large number of Eight Banners and Green Camp families.

At the time of leaving the city of Guangzhou.

Guo Shixun looked back at the southern gateway.

The gateway of the Qing Dynasty was pinched in the hands of the Ming Dynasty in this way.

The peaceful and prosperous era of the Huanghuang Qing Dynasty is gone.

After a long time.

Guo Shixun turned around and was about to get into the sedan chair.

Suddenly remembered something: "What about Wu Dunyuan?" Why didn't you see him? ”

The officials on the left and right looked at it.

"Wu Dunyuan is gone, I don't seem to have seen him out of the city."

"What are you doing without going out of the city, do you want to be a thief?"

Guo Shixun's face became more and more gloomy.

Wu Dunyuan and Thirteen Banks were both businessmen who made money from the Guangzhou port.

I should have thought of this a long time ago.

Come to think of it.

Guo Shixun clenched the deposit certificate in his hand.

The foreign businessmen of HSBC... Also businessmen.

After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly got up from the bed. If you want to watch the latest chapters, please download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.

He took a big breath of fresh air, and his chest trembled.

Confused, incomprehensible, all kinds of emotions come to my heart.

Where is this?

Then, Shi Yu subconsciously looked around, and then became even more dazed.

A single dormitory?

Even if he had managed to be rescued, he would have been in the ward by now.

And their own bodies...... How could it be that there was no injury at all.

With doubts, Shi Yu's gaze quickly swept from the room, and finally his gaze stayed on a mirror at the head of the bed.

The mirror reflected his current appearance, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and his appearance was very handsome.

But the problem is, it's not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters ad-free and free

The previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.

And now, no matter how you look at it, this appearance is only the age of a high school student......

This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.

Don't tell him that the operation was a success......

The body and face have changed, and this is not a question of surgery or not surgery at all, but immortal magic.

He's a different guy altogether!

Don't...... Did you cross by yourself?

In addition to the mirror at the head of the bed, which was obviously not good in feng shui, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.

Shi Yu picked it up and looked at it, and the title of the book instantly silenced him.

"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Novice Breeders"

Postpartum Care for Pet Animals

"Alien Beast Ear Girl Evaluation Guide"

Shi Yu: ???

The names of the first two books are quite normal, but what are you doing with the last one?

"Ahem."

Shi Yu's eyes were solemn and he stretched out his hand, but his arm quickly stiffened.

Just as he was about to open the third book to see what it was, his brain stabbed violently, and a flood of memories flooded back.

Icefield City.

Pet animal breeding base.
