Chapter Seventy-Eight, Rebellion Spending Money Like Flowing Water [Seeking Completeness]
Emperor Qianlong's will came to Fukangan eight days later.
Originally, according to the rules of the Qing Dynasty.
The fast horse transmission post from Beijing to Guangzhou must arrive within six days.
But it can't be helped.
When the messenger set out in Beijing.
The news I got was that Lord Fukang Anfu led the troops to Zhaoqing.
When he arrived in Ganzhou, he got the news.
Zhaoqing Mansion has been lost.
Fukangan retreated to Wuzhou in one go.
In addition, the Shaozhou Mansion has also been occupied by the Ming army.
The rebellious people of the Heaven and Earth Society have set off chaos in southern Fujian, eastern Guangdong, and western Guangdong.
Therefore, it can only detour through Chenzhou, enter Guangxi, and then go south to Wuzhou.
This will to summon Fukangan back to Beijing was delivered to him.
Fukangan looked at the holy decree in his hand over and over again.
"It's just a recall to Beijing, not to knock off the top and put it in a prison car?"
Fukangan himself felt that it was a little too strange.
Even if he is a favorite of Emperor Qianlong.
Throw away such a big sin as Guangdong.
Not killing the head is already the emperor's grace.
Now it's just a job and going back to Beijing?
And it's just that the official position of the governor of Liangguang is gone.
I didn't say how to deal with the position of Jiayong, Zhongrui Gong, and the deputy capital of Manchuria with the Yellow Flag?
"My lord, are you still going to watch the drills of the Loyal Battalion in the afternoon?"
A stout man next to him reminded him.
Fukangan pondered for a moment when he heard this, then stood up and spoke.
"Shi Zhai, the drill of the loyal and brave battalion cannot be abolished, Lord Gui will lead the troops south to build the Ganzhou camp, and when the time comes, the official will write a letter recommending you to serve under his tent. The national disaster thinks of the good generals, and with the talent of Shi Zhai, he will be able to make contributions on the battlefield and shine on the lintel. ”
A strong man known as Shi Zhai, named Yang Yuchun.
Born in Wuju.
has a lot of courage and strategy, and the training of the army is quite disciplined.
Fukangan was promoted when Gansu was quelling the turmoil, and then moved to Gansu, Taiwan and other places together.
Now he is the chief officer of the training of the Loyal and Brave Battalion.
"My lord teaches, and the humble duty is kept in mind, and the training of the Loyal and Brave Battalion will not be wasted!"
Yang Yuchun took a deep breath and said.
Fukangan patted Yang Yuchun's shoulder and encouraged him again.
So he took a hundred goshkha and rode his horse north.
.......
"Your name is Yang Fang?"
Former governor of Guangdong.
It is now the temporary residence of the Ming Palace.
In a temporarily renovated Ming Wang's study.
Zhu Daohua looked at the young military attache in front of him.
With a broad face, broad shoulders and a strong body, he is seven or eight feet tall, and looks like an NBA basketball player.
His iron arms are extremely thick, and the calluses on the fingers of his right hand indicate that he must be a good archer.
Even in the 21st century, this kind of figure can be called "strange to the world"
What's more, at the end of the Qianlong Dynasty, when the common people were generally malnourished.
In fact, the reason why Zhu Daohua paid attention to him.
It was because of the battle outside the city of Guangzhou.
This Qing Army's Guizhou Green Battalion named Yang Fang was the commander of the Qing Army's Guizhou Green Battalion, who fought alone and several Ming soldiers without falling behind, and was finally knocked out by a grenade before being tied up by Wuhuada.
Such a "warrior in the army" naturally wants to be tied up and shown to King Ming.
As a result, as soon as he asked about this name, Zhu Daohua felt familiar.
When I watched the movie "Opium War".
Isn't there a Guizhou general named Yang Fang who appeared on the scene?
Moreover, Yang Fang and Yang Yuchun were listed as famous generals in the middle of the Qing Dynasty and were called "Eryang".
Although Boss Zhu doesn't remember what Yang Fang's specific skills are.
But the name he knew.
I've met a historical celebrity.
Boss Zhu is also interested in taking a look.
Look at this.
This young strong man is indeed very attractive to Boss Zhu.
This physique.
It's certainly okay to be a wrestler, or simply play in the CBA.
It's a pity.
This era did not give him this opportunity to make a lot of money.
But as a military attaché, this image is definitely qualified.
"I'm Yang Fang, the hammer, what kind of ability do you have to hurt people by bombs, you have the ability to let go of me, hand and foot kung fu or weapon kung fu, whatever you choose! I'll fight a few of you! ”
Yang Fang's eyes rolled, and she exhaled loudly.
Seeing this, Boss Zhu couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
"If you're a smart person, don't pretend to be stupid. I ask you, do you want to serve me, or do you want to die for Qianlong. ”
Yang Fang closed her mouth when she heard the words and was silent.
"Forget it, you go to the Army and Navy Officer Academy first, learn some skills, and in the future, whether in the south or the north, you can have the qualifications to advance, right?"
Zhu Daohua waved his hand.
Let people take Yang Fang down.
A hairy boy who is only nineteen years old.
In the words of the afterlife.
The three views have not yet been fully established.
Boss Zhu can't be as knowledgeable as him.
Yang Fang, who was pulled out, blinked.
And that's the end of it?
"Hey, Yang Fang, are you going to study at the Army and Navy Officer Academy?"
"Go!"
Why not?
I, Yang Fang, have learned a skill, and I will be loyal to the king in the future.
As for who is loyal ....
Then it will depend on the situation.
Meeting a historical celebrity is just a small episode of Zhu Daohua's busy life these days.
There are so many things that need to be done these days.
Boss Zhu rotates nine hundred and nine-six every day.
Even Shi Xianggu, who was in a hurry to conceive, applauded a little slack.
However, with the withdrawal of the army under the command of Fukangan from Guangdong, the sun and moon flags were hung in northern Guangdong, eastern Guangdong, western Guangdong, as well as the counties under Guangzhou and Huizhou.
This province of Guangdong has nominally belonged to the Ming Dynasty - only nominally, of course, because in addition to Guangzhou Mansion, Zhaoqing Mansion, and Shaozhou Mansion.
Jiaying Prefecture and Chaozhou in northeastern and eastern Guangdong, as well as most of Huizhou Prefecture, as well as Luoding, Gaozhou, Leizhou, and Lianzhou Prefectures in western Guangdong, were all "liberated" by the heroes of the Heaven and Earth Society.
Besides.
The Qiongzhou Mansion, which is still subordinate to Guangdong, is temporarily under the rule of the Qiongzhou Governor of the Qing Dynasty because it is separated by a strait, but this Qiongzhou Mansion cannot be assisted by the sailors of the Qing Dynasty.
It was only a matter of time before the Ming Dynasty finally surrendered.
And so it goes.
The whole of Guangdong was basically under the command of King Ming.
It's just a corner of the world.
But Guangdong is also a large province with a population of 18 million.
In terms of population, it is only a little less than that of the provinces south of the Yangtze River.
Compared to the northern and southwestern provinces,
Guangdong's population is already quite dense.
Zhu Daohua, the new Ming Dynasty, is different from those new dynasties in history.
He did not go through many major battles to take Guangdong, and there was no loss of the population of Guangdong.
In history, after a series of wars that led to a sharp decline in population, by the time the dynasty was established, it was already vast and sparsely populated, the contradiction between man and land was unprecedentedly reduced after the war, the dynasty was able to recuperate, develop the population, and steadily increase the national strength, with the increase in population, the per capita land decreased, and the contradiction between man and land was unprecedentedly sharp again, and the dynasty should have come to the moment of extinction...
This is the curse of the cycle of chaos in Chinese history.
And this time, because the Ming army is too strong.
There were no conditions for a tug-of-war between the two sides that would lead to a massive population reduction - in fact, King Zhu Ming did not want to fight a tug-of-war that would consume the population.
The elimination of the Manchus was only a small goal.
The key is how to make use of China's population of nearly 40,000 at this time to occupy as much territory as possible.
Occupy more space for the survival of China in future generations.
If a Ming and Qing dynasty war, a large number of people will be lost.
It's really not worth the cost.
Therefore, Boss Zhu did not immediately integrate the entrance of the Heaven and Earth Hall in various places, and greatly expanded the army, and he was also worried that the population would be drastically reduced after the war broke out in various places - these populations could be used to fill the colonies in various places in the future.
How can it be wasted in the midst of a civil war.
"Your Majesty, Governor Luo and his entourage have arrived."
"Please! Then Gu Song, Qian Heng, Zhang Hong, Secretary of the Admiralty, Zhao Si, Secretary of the War Department, and Mr. Napoleon, General Adviser of the General Staff, were invited together. ”
Luo Fangbo, Ye Daoqi, Gu Song, Qian Heng, these are a few stinkers around Zhu Daohua.
Now, with Zhu Daohua's entry into Guangzhou, the status of these stinkers has naturally risen, far beyond their position in history.
"By the way, invite Zhao Wen and Xue Siyuan as well."
Zhu Daohua thought for a moment and added.
Zhao Wen and Xue Siyuan are demoted.
And the officials of the Qing Dynasty must also be greedy.
If Zhu Daohua has a moral cleanliness habit, I am afraid that he will not be able to deal with it.
But Zhu Daohua has reached his current position, and he no longer thinks about problems from the perspective of simple morality and character.
He needs to give himself more political thought.
The landlords, scholars, doctors, and literati of the entire Han land were basically officials for the Qing Dynasty.
Could it be that he could exclude from power such a large class that controlled the vast majority of the Han land?
Let's not mention that the vast majority of cultural people in China today belong to this class.
Let's talk about their numbers, and the resources at their disposal.
If not handled well.
That is to create a very troublesome enemy for yourself.
Opposite.
If this class can be guided to a certain extent.
They are very likely to be a positive force in promoting the whole of China into industrialization - in fact, the developed countries in later generations, except for those that have experienced the colonial era, the developed economies that have developed later are basically countries or regions in the Confucian cultural circle.
This fully shows that in fact, Confucian culture can be transformed into a low-level culture that adapts to industrialization.
And Zhu Daohua also carefully studied the development of Confucian culture during this time—something that changed with the requirements of the king.
Let Confucius come to see the current Qing Confucianism, not to mention anything else, just by seeing the braids on the back of these people's heads, Confucius wants you to hear the truth, and it is okay to die at night - seeing it in the morning, and letting you die at night is considered Confucius's mercy.
The emperor mastered the imperial examination, and what the imperial examination was to take, then the Confucian students would learn - such a system was simply cool for the emperor.
Isn't it simple for Boss Zhu to mix hundreds of millions of private goods in the imperial examination?
Therefore, it is impossible for Zhu Daohua to exclude these Qing Dynasty vassals.
They will inevitably have a place in the new Ming in the future.
"There are also Wu Dunyuan, Lu Jiguang, Pan Shaoguang and others from the Thirteen Lines, Wu Bingdao of the Gaoyao Wu family, Chen Zhengen of the Sanshui Chen family, and Zhengye Wenkun of the Xiangshan Ye family were also called."
The civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty's palace, the representatives of the Qing Dynasty officials who surrendered, the representatives of the merchants, and the clans of the three major Guangdong clans who first took refuge in the Ming Dynasty gathered together.
This closed-door meeting is naturally to determine many matters in Guangdong in the future.
After the arrival of Luo Fangbo and his party from Lanfang and Qian Heng, the governor of the Strait Governor's Mansion.
Gu Song, the military advisor, began to briefly introduce the current situation in Guangdong.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the sun and moon flags have been hung in all provinces of Guangdong except for Qiongzhou Mansion, but the only ones that are really directly controlled by the Ming Wangfu are Guangzhou Mansion, Zhaoqing Mansion, and Shaozhou Mansion, and the rest of the counties are all righteous people from all over the country who have expelled the local bureaucrats, occupied the county seat, and claimed to be attached."
"That's a problem."
Zhu Daohua said with his forehead.
"Yes, now the Qing court can't take out many soldiers and horses in the south, unless they have a way to mobilize the elite of the Green Battalion and the elite of the Eight Banners in the north to the south in a short period of time.... However, at this distance, it is impossible for the army to go south without going for a year and a half. ”
Since ancient times, it has not been easy to transfer troops from the north to the south.
Especially large-scale mobilizations.
First of all, logistical supply is a big problem.
The Qing army was able to assemble, mobilize, retrain, and then enter the battle within a year.
It's already a very optimistic estimate.
"If our army has no plan to go north for the time being, then the volunteers entrenched in dozens of counties in northeastern, eastern, and western Guangdong must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise this Guangdong place will be poisoned by them sooner or later, but it is not easy to absorb, the total number of these people adds up to two or three hundred thousand, if all the regular army is harvested, then the military salary expenditure alone will cost millions of yuan a month, and we don't have so much silver to throw at them now!"
This is what Gu Song is most worried about.
The current situation is not bad, and there are basically no large-scale opposition to the Ming Dynasty in Guangdong.
The most troublesome thing now is the volunteers who claim to have gathered at the entrances of the two or three hundred thousand Heaven and Earth Society.
Of course, Boss Zhu is very rich.
But there are not enough to feed so many underworld forces.
And now that Guangdong has been decided, there are too many places to spend money.
If you take all the money to feed these underworlds, it will really outweigh the losses.
On the one hand, they are under the banner of the Ming Dynasty, and on the other hand, these underworld armed forces certainly do not have many military-level constraints, and if they are not solved as soon as possible, I am afraid that there will be large-scale looting incidents in the local area.
"How much does it cost a month now? How much money do you have to come up with to settle the bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods in these places? ”
When Gu Song heard this, he folded his fingers and calculated: "This year and next year's agricultural taxes are exempted, and the current income is mainly the ship tax of Batam Island and the confiscation of the land of corrupt officials and local tyrants and inferior gentry, in addition to the agricultural tax and mining tax of Lanfang Province, as well as the tribute income of the Nanyang countries, the monthly income is more than 1.3 million Ming Yuan, and the expenses are at least more than 1.5 million, mainly because the cost of fighting the war is too large, as well as the salaries of officials, etc., and now they have to issue national bonds in Batam." ”
This rebellion is really spending money like water.
Now there are three brigades of the army under his command, and the total number of guards on Lanfang's side is no more than 30,000.
On the naval side, there are three major fleets, the Northern Expedition Fleet, the Strait Fleet, and the Nanyang Fleet, with a total number of almost 10,000 people.
The cost of an army of 40,000 eats up almost half of the income.
Fortunately, HSBC defrauded tens of millions of taels of silver deposits, otherwise this would really not be able to be made.
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.
