Chapter Seventy-Six: It Is Impossible to Divide the Land

"What did you say?!"

Lao Zhao, who was sighing for a long time, suddenly stood up.

"HSBC, HSBC is an anti-Ming industry... This Guangzhou city has spread all over the city! ”

"This... How is this possible? The tax silver of Guangdong Customs and the treasury silver of the thirteen banks can be deposited in HSBC! ”

Zhao Wen suddenly felt a thunderbolt from the sky.

Paced back and forth a few steps.

Then he sat down, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"In Guangzhou, most of the money of wealthy households, officials, and military attachés in the green camp has been deposited in HSBC, right?"

"But isn't it, you said that this Lord Guo is really, why is he so careless, now it's okay, the treasury silver of the thirteen lines and the tax silver of the Guangdong Customs have been returned to the Ming Dynasty, forget it, the big guy heard that even Lord Guo believes in this HSBC bank so much, why don't you hurry up and deposit the money to avoid being robbed in this chaos...."

While the housekeeper was still chattering.

Zhao Wen had already calmed down.

"Go and invite Master Xue, the envoy of the inspection, and remember... It's quietly please. ”

Xue Siyuan is also a native of Jiangxi, and he is a fellow villager with Zhao Wen.

In officialdom, the relationship between fellow villagers and classmates is quite close.

The envoy was a subordinate officer of the governor of Liangguang.

Now the governor of Liangguang, Fukangan, has gone to Zhaoqing with soldiers and horses.

According to the inspection, Xue Siyuan stayed in Guangzhou and didn't know what to do.

Guangzhou officials like him are similar, and now the biggest official in Guangzhou is Zhao Wen, the prefect of Guangzhou.

But Zhao Wen, the prefect of Guangzhou, did not have a high sense of existence.

How can he play a role in the chaotic city of Guangzhou now?

More than 8,000 defenders remained in Guangzhou.

However, some are subordinate to the Guangdong Governor, and some are subordinate to the patrol standard, the source is very complicated, and there is no unified command.

In such a state, Guangzhou City has not yet broken the city.

It's all because the Ming army is moving too slowly...

.........

If you want to say what the officers of the Green Battalion stationed in Guangzhou now have in mind.

Of course, that's looking forward to welcoming the king.

From all levels of generals, guerrillas, garrisons, thousands of generals, generals, etc.

Most of them are hereditary military attachés of the Green Battalion.

The family is more or less a bit of a family.

For example, Guan Shouzhong, the former garrison military attache of the Guangdong Green Camp Water Division in Chengmen Cave, where he is now.

Quite a big loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty.

Because of the loss of Lantau Island, although he spent a lot of money up and down, he was not punished.

But the future is gone.

A good garrison officer of the water division has now become a city guard of the city gate cave.

With dozens of sailors under his command, he drilled the city gate to help defend the city.

"Drop the thunder house, guard the mother."

"The Manchurians have all run away, and we still have to defend Guangdong for them."

"The Ming army broke the Huangpu camp in the first battle, what is the meaning of defending this Guangzhou city."

"Eh, did you hear that? HSBC is the king of the industry..."

Guan Shouzhong leaned on the edge of the city wall, holding a thin spear in his hand, which was taken out of the inventory of the Guangzhou arsenal, and he didn't know what year it was made, and the barrel of the gun was a little rotten.

A shot out.

I'm afraid I didn't wait to stab the enemy.

This gun was broken first....

In a word.

Guan Shouzhong is not a fool either.

Of course, he knew that Guangzhou had been abandoned.

Fukangan, the governor of Liangguang, and Guo Shixun, the governor of Guangdong, both arrived in Zhaoqing.

It is only a matter of time before this Guangzhou city belongs to the Ming Dynasty.

Those who remain here to defend the city are some abandoned cannon fodder.

However, Guan Shouzhong is definitely unwilling to be cannon fodder.

He has both the old and the young.

Who wants to die casually...

If only before that.

It is possible to run away in advance, after all, it is difficult to say whether the Ming Dynasty can get the world now.

But not anymore.

All the money went into the treasury of HSBC and exchanged for a blank piece of paper.

I heard that if you exchange the money, you can only exchange it for the same amount of Ming Yuan.

Now the big guys hope that the Ming Dynasty can shake up.

At least it can't fall all at once.

Otherwise, everyone's money will not come back.

Just when Guan Shouzhong was thinking nonsense.

There was a sound of passage ahead.

"Ming Army, Ming Army is coming!"

Guan Shouzhong hurriedly lay on the tower of the city gate and looked.

I saw in the distance, a pair of Ming soldiers wearing fiery red uniforms slowly came from a distance, the artillery had been uncovered, and the flickering cold barrel was aimed at the city tower.

Guan Shouzhong took a deep breath.

"Lose that mother, Tartars are not good people, why bother working for them."

"Open the gates! Surrendered! ”

Guan Shouzhong yelled.

I have already calculated it in my heart.

This is also a pre-war uprising.

The treatment should be much better than surrendering to a captive ....

The rest of the Green Battalion hadn't reacted yet.

looked at Guan Shouzhong in a daze.

"What are you doing in a daze, open the door quickly, I want to hit the wall by myself!"

Guan Shouzhong's roar made the green battalion soldiers of the city gate tower react.

"What Master Guan said is that even Fukangan has run away, so why should we work hard for them."

"King Ming is the son of heaven of the Han family, and it is only natural for us Han people to follow him."

"Yes, yes, the Tartars have killed so many people in our Guangdong, they are about to be punished!"

"Everyone's money is still in the king of Ming."

With the door open.

The green battalions at the gates threw away their weapons and walked out of the gates.

"King, Guangzhou has fallen!"

Zhao Si took a deep breath and said beside Zhu Daohua.

"You're all set, aren't you?"

Zhu Daohua asked the Jinyi guards on the other side to command Gong Zhuman.

"The city is ready."

Gong Zhumandao.

"Good! Town!! ”

Zhu Daohua waved his hand.

Chen Dewang, commander of the first battalion of the first brigade of the army, held high the sun and moon flag, led his subordinates, held his head high, and stepped into the city of Guangzhou!!

.........

Meanwhile.

Guangzhou Prefect Yamen.

He was talking to Xue Siyuan, the envoy of the inspection.

I'm afraid the minds of the two of them are no longer chatting.

The prefect's yamen, which is usually crowded with people, has now become quite deserted.

Some of the local officials have disappeared.

Some of the more astute officials have already gone home.

In the yamen of the Guangzhou prefect's office, there are only a dozen officials from other places left, waiting in fear.

"Hooray! Long live the Ming Dynasty! ”

Cheers rang out in the direction of the South Gate.

The two looked at each other.

They all seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

But at the same time there was silence.

Long.

Zhao Wen suddenly stood up and said, "Brother Xue, I have suddenly felt a lot of itchy scalp recently, I think this braid is easy to get lice, it's better to... Cut it. ”

"Yes, yes, braids are unhygienic, especially unhygienic."

Xue Siyuan breathed a sigh of relief and replied.

"It's easy to cut braids, the point is...."

Zhao Wen was worried.

"Adults don't need to worry... The law does not blame the public. ”

Xue Siyuan said in a low voice.

"That's good, that's good."

.........

The Ming army entered the city of Guangzhou without firing a single shot.

For the officers of the Green Battalion in the city of Guangzhou.

There was no psychological pressure at all for them to surrender.

As soon as they came, the people in the inner city of Guangzhou ran away. This country is full of people, you don't want it yourself, and you still expect these Han green battalions to guard it?

Second, if at least one or two thousand military attachés of the Green Battalion in Liangguang and the southern provinces have surrendered in the past two days, they can vote, but why can't the defenders of Guangzhou City vote?

These three come, that is, everyone is convinced. Can you disagree, King Ming's means are too high, even Guo Shixun, the governor of Guangdong, was deceived by him, and sent the silver into the HSBC bank, so that everyone really thought that the HSBC bank had an English background, and they also sent the silver in.

The silver is in the hands of King Ming.

Of course, I have to.

So many reasons to come down.

None of the remaining defenders of Guangzhou, the local wealthy, merchants, and even the former Qing officials who remained in the city did not surrender.

The Ming army entered the city first, which can be regarded as a "pot pulp to welcome the king." Feelings.

The whole city of Guangzhou is up and down.

They all welcomed the Ming army into the city - those who opposed it followed Guo Shixun and Fukangan to Zhaoqing.

So when Zhu Daohua's army entered the city.

On both sides of the road, there were Guangzhou citizens kneeling on the ground.

The soldiers of the 1st Brigade and 1st Battalion of the Army in the advanced city stood on both sides of the road with muskets on their heads, and there were also people in the crowd who were guarded vigilantly staring at the crowd.

The first to enter the city was a neat queue.

Trample! Trample! Trample!

A pair of soldiers walked neatly, and thousands of people entered the city with a shocking momentum.

This scene made the old people on both sides of the road dare not come out.

Soon.

A huge banner of the sun and moon appeared.

In front of the banner of the sun and the moon.

An ornately decorated four-wheeled carriage passed slowly.

"Hooray!!"

"Long live !!"

Soldiers on both sides of the road were busy shouting hooray.

I don't know who started first.

Anyway, the people on both sides of the road couldn't help but shout.

"The king has won the hearts of the people in Guangzhou!"

Walked through the area where the crowds gathered.

There are high walls on both sides of the road to the yamen of the governor of Guangdong and the yamen of the prefect of Guangzhou, and it is also close to the inner city, so ordinary Han people will not approach here.

"People's hearts are changing, and we can't relax yet."

Zhu Daohua said.

"Taking Guangzhou is just the beginning, the next step is to attack Zhaoqing, at least to drive Fukangan away, and then to pinch Shaozhou in your hands, relying on the pass of Nanxiong Prefecture to establish a solid defensive line, and then to take Huizhou, Jiaying Prefecture, and Chaozhou into your pocket."

Gu Song smiled when he heard this, and said: "The king takes Guangzhou, and the heroes from all over Guangdong respond in groups, Jiaying Prefecture and Chaozhou have been taken down by the heroes of the Heaven and Earth Society, and the counties of Huizhou are also surging, and it is only a matter of time before they take it, the king only needs to point his troops at Zhaoqing, and Fukangan will not dare to resist." ”

I definitely don't dare to fight.

Fukangan is not a fool, it makes no sense for him to fight out the 10,000 troops at hand in Zhaoqing Mansion.

The two of them were talking.

However, Jiaying Prefecture and Chaozhou, which were taken down by the underworld leaders of the Heaven and Earth Society, are also a little troublesome.

Zhu Daohua will definitely not allow such a thing in Guangdong

I saw the governor yamen and the prefect yamen in front of me kneeling in front of them, cutting off their braids, and taking off the Guangzhou officials of the Qing Dynasty government.

"Shunmin Zhao Wen visits King Ming."

The first person is Zhao Wen, the prefect of Guangzhou.

"You are the prefect of Guangzhou in the Qing court?"

Zhu Daohua got down from the carriage and asked in front of Zhao Wen, who was kneeling on the ground.

"Yes."

Zhao Wen hurriedly responded.

"If you obey the heavens and surrender in time, you will be exempted."

"Xie Ming, Wang Kuanren."

Zhao Wen and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that this King Ming is still quite lenient.

At least everyone's lives are worry-free.

"Zhao Wen, now you have the highest official position here?"

Zhu Daohua walked towards the yamen of the governor of Guangdong.

"Get up and speak."

Seeing Zhao Wen kneeling and crawling to follow, Zhu Daohua frowned slightly.

Zhao Wen hurriedly got up, patted the dust on his body, hunched his waist and followed Zhu Daohua into the yamen of the governor of Guangdong.

The demoted officer who knelt on the ground behind him couldn't help but show a look of envy.

"Can the population and cultivated land of Guangdong Province be registered?"

Zhu Daohua asked.

Zhao Wen hurriedly replied: "Back to King Ming, the yamen of the governor of Guangdong has a fish scale register of Guangdong household registration and cultivated land, and there are more than 4.9 million households in Guangdong Province, with a total population of about 18 million people, and 32 million mu of cultivated land......

Zhu Daohua looked at Zhao Wen unexpectedly, and the name was written down.

Then he turned back to Gu Song and said: "Except for Guangzhou Prefecture, the rest of Guangdong Province is mountainous and hilly, with ups and downs, but more than 30 million acres of cultivated land have been reclaimed..."

"Even if overdevelopment is like this, the per capita land is less than two acres, and the average household is less than seven acres...."

Zhu Daohua shook his head and said: "Just this data, there are still people who want to divide the land, divide it back and forth, how much can it be divided?" ”

When Zhu Daohua entered Guangzhou, the most discussed thing by the civil and military under his command was the policy of dealing with the land in Guangdong.

Some advocate equal division of land.

However, Zhu Daohua did not express his position.

He was not in favor of equalizing the land.

In a place as small as Guangdong, more than 18 million people are crowded.

Arable land has also been exploited to the limit of exploitability.

There are more than 32 million acres.

The per capita arable land is also less than two acres.

If Zhu Daohua follows the practice of the new regime in history, he divides the land equally and recuperates.

That probably won't be long.

His new regime would collapse – he would not be able to win the support of the peasants, nor would he be opposed by the landlord class for the equal distribution of the land.

"Let's not talk about the matter of equalizing the land for the time being. With such a large population in Guangdong, it is impossible to make sure that the people can eat by dividing the land, and the key is to develop industry and migrate to Borneo to settle for land. ”

"There are many people in Guangdong and there is little land, so why don't the whole Han land have more people and less land? But there's a lot of ground out there. ”

"Don't always think about dividing the land of Han, there are many places similar to Borneo in this world!"

Zhu Daohua walked to the inner hall of the Guangdong governor's yamen, and said to Gu Song.

"Of course, the land of the Eight Banners in Guangdong will be confiscated and distributed to the people of meritorious service."

Zhu Daohua paused and said.

Divide the land?

It is impossible to divide the land.

Whether it is industrialization or foreign colonization, it requires a large number of laborers.

If you divide the land in this Guangdong place casually.

So where did King Zhu Ming go to find people to work and colonize?

After entering the inner hall.

"Ordered Zhao Si to lead the first brigade and the second brigade to attack Zhaoqing, and after taking Zhaoqing Mansion, continue to advance westward to take Luodingzhou, and the third brigade of the army to attack Shaozhou and take the entire territory of Shaozhou. It was ordered that the entrance of the Heaven and Earth Hall where the Sun and Moon Flags were raised by various bureaus should not be moved, and they should stand by in place! ”

Zhu Daohua spread out a map of a province in Guangdong.

After taking Guangzhou.

It is just around the corner that the whole of Guangdong will be in the bag.

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. The website has not updated the content of the latest chapters, and the Star Reading APP has updated the content of the latest chapters.

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.
