Chapter 418: "United Nations Army"?
Not long after his birthday, he encountered such an annoyance, Kangxi's mood can be imagined. However, it is precisely because he has just passed his birthday that Kangxi is unwilling to stir up anything right away, especially in Beijing. Therefore, in the end, he did not pull his son out to rectify it, but just asked people to appease the case of defrauding the people's land by means of compensation, and also warned those noble heroes and officials in the court. However, Kangxi ignored one thing, that is, what kind of results a momentary indulgence would lead to. Those nobles from the Eight Banners, if they don't engage in some business, how can they live a luxurious life? But what kind of business can be as simple as buying and selling land? Moreover, the identities of these nobles are there, and there is no need to be afraid that anyone will dare to deliberately find fault. Although there is Kangxi's warning on the side, this only makes these people's methods more hidden and more difficult to be discovered. Moreover, because there were so many noble officials in Beijing, the land in Beijing alone was no longer enough to be distributed, and in order not to attract too much attention, the business of these people soon began to develop around the capital, such as Tianjin and Baoding. And at the same time that these people were spreading their business to all parts of Zhili, Yinxi also wrote to Kangxi, stating a proposal to bring the Eight Banners of Manchuria into the customs to fight against the Central Plains merchants. And it was because of this advice that things started to go in a worse direction.
Because, the kings of Fengtian, the nobles there, and the people of the Eight Banners there who have always been snubbed by the royal family have long been of the same mind as the rulers of the Qing Dynasty.
Although, they have to listen to Kangxi's orders, although, they also covet the business share in the pass, although, they have also exercised some business acumen over the years, but. The fact is that from the very beginning, the partners of these people were Yu Zhong, Ma De and a large number of Jin merchants. This means that the "Manchurian Consortium" that Yinzhen intends to help him, even today when Mo Jing and others have withdrawn their hands from Manchuria, is still affected by the Jin merchants, and. Because they belong to a subordinate position from the beginning, they only wait for dividends at the end of each year, so the business acumen of these people is terrible for the businessmen in the customs. So, even if they have to go it alone, these people have to start almost from scratch! However, despite this, the people of this "Manchurian consortium" were very happy to accept the "conscription" of the Qing Emperor. After all, people go to high places! Wealth for some people. It's never enough. Since there is the support of the imperial court. He thinks that he has a lot of experience in doing business, even if he turns his face with those Jin merchants, what's so terrible? Although Kangxi also had a certain degree of wariness against these guys from Manchuria, he did not allow these people to flood into the Guannai. However, a crack is enough to destroy a dam. Moreover, since after entering the customs, it was first necessary to purchase some industries, such as gardens and mansions, so the first business of the "Manchurian Consortium" after entering the customs was to buy land. And these guys who returned from Manchuria are all wealthy, in order not to let the nobles in the capital look down on them, they are very generous! As a result, the already high land prices in Gyeonggi rose again. The real estate business was slightly silent for a while after being warned by Kangxi, and once again it became angry, and the land of the common people was further concentrated in the hands of the nobles and bureaucrats.
However, this event, which may have hurt the foundation of the imperial state, did not attract the attention of the Qing court, especially the emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty. And the reason is also very simple, on the one hand, it is because most of the people engaged in this kind of business are aristocratic bureaucrats, and the interest groups formed by the invisible alliance of these people even Kangxi dare not easily touch, let alone others? On the other hand, it was because the Great Qing Kingdom was once again dragged into the war.
A war on the oceans!
European. After four years of Richard and the others going back, they finally came back again.
……
In April of the fifty-third year of Kangxi, the capital of the Qing Empire, Burma Province, Ava!
The first-class Xiangyuan Hou, the military and political minister of the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Burma, and the general Zhenyuan in the central mansion.
"Great Britain, France, the Netherlands, Spain, Austria-Hungary, Turkey...... Obedient winter, UN troops? ”
Yu Zhong looked at the information sent from Jiangnan with some shock, although the weather in Myanmar was already very hot at this time, he still felt a chill in his heart! Although it was long expected that Britain and France might come together, and the Netherlands and Spain were ruthlessly driven out of Southeast Asia by the Qing Dynasty sailors, it is understandable, but what is the matter with the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Turks? How could Niangdi, especially Turkey, a group of pagans in the eyes of Europeans, unite with the followers of God? Could it be that these guys want to help their Turkic ancestors avenge their expulsion from the East?
"It's a big problem this time! The Europeans will come out of the Red Sea soon, and when the time comes, if our sailors can't be concentrated, it will definitely be difficult to resist the opponent's attack......" Mo Jing couldn't help but smile bitterly. She was not as unconfident in Nian Qianyao's skills as Yu Zhong, and she was worried that if the new Admiral of the Dixi Sea Division could defeat the combined fleet of Britain and France, it would not only greatly hinder their plans, but also might dilute Yu Zhong's irreplaceable influence in the Qing Empire's army after Feiyanggu and Sabusu were gone. But now she doesn't worry about Nian Qianyao! Almost all the countries in Europe that have some power at sea have sent fleets, and according to the information they have obtained, the total number of warships owned by this combined fleet is very large, almost half of the total number of the six major naval divisions of the Qing Dynasty. Moreover, this fleet also has hundreds of years of maritime experience, and if Nian Qianyao can win, it will make the sun come out of the west.
"What do you think we should do?" Yu Zhong gritted his back molars fiercely, and asked Mo Jing again, "Having united so many countries at once, I'm afraid that these Western devils not only want to swallow India, but even Southeast Asia wants to swallow it back!" If we gather all the sailors of the Qing Dynasty now, we may be able to fight, but I'm afraid that even if the imperial court knows the news, it will only laugh! …… Unless they are beaten, they probably won't believe it! ”
"That's right. Originally, those guys in Beijing were used to being arrogant.
Now that the country's situation has risen again, I don't know how many times, it's no wonder they don't raise their noses to the sky! ”
Mo Jing couldn't help but sigh. Think of the so-called Qing court in another time and space. After being beaten many times and begging for peace, he did not put down his shelf, and still kept calling the aggressor "Fan" and "Yi", preferring to continue to be beaten rather than recognize the equal status of the other party and himself, not to mention the current situation?
The third volume of Wuhua Tianbao "Let's report it." Ma De can't say, I don't have so many scruples! …… Alas, I hope it holds
Round 1. Yu Zhong was a little gloomy. There are many mountains and tigers. They have been operating carefully for so many years, clinging closely to Kangxi, and finally using various means to entangle the hands and feet of this "Emperor of the Ages". But who would have thought? Originally, they only regarded it as an external factor, but the Western countries that were just going to use it made them miscalculate. They really underestimated the appetite and courage of these guys! Perhaps, they also made the same mistake as those ministers of the DPRK and China, thinking that as long as the Qing Dynasty rose up, they would be invincible in the world.
But the facts are ...... There are still many powers in the world that can pose a threat to the vast Central Empire. This time, if they can't stop this combined European naval fleet at sea, then they may not only lose India, maybe they will lose ground. Even Southeast Asia had to give up again!
"I just hope that these Europeans will be drawn away from India. Hopefully, their appetite isn't so big that they want to swallow Southeast Asia as well. Mo Jing and Yu Zhong are almost the same idea. The European coalition is menacing, but now the Qing court does not know about it, and. Even if they knew, the ministers in the court might not necessarily take this matter to heart. Although the South China Sea Naval Division stationed in the Nanyang area is the strongest of the six naval divisions, its strength is quite scattered because it has to be stationed in various places. If the other side breaks through Temasek, the newly developed South Seas may become a paradise for European pirates. Moreover, even the coast of the mainland may be infestation.
"Heaven forbid! ......" Yu Zhong scratched his scalp fiercely. The large combined fleet also represented a large number of land forces, as well as the determination of the Europeans to seize India and other places, this time, if the Qing court let him go. I'm afraid this battle is really not easy to fight! After all, compared with Japan, India, Burma and other countries that have experienced many years of peace and are far inferior in equipment to the Qing army, the strength of the Europeans must be far surpassed. Moreover, Japan, India, and Burma have always been under their calculations, and when they are attacked, most of them are not busy responding to the battle, and they are simply unable to resist his attacks, but now it is different, and the armies of the Europeans must be veterans who have just walked down from more than ten years of war. The equipment is not bad, and it is prepared......
"Although there are some sets for these Europeans, it is difficult to say whether it will work or not. Moreover, with the "nature" of these Europeans, if we can't let them know the pain, even if there is an internal conflict, I am afraid that we will not easily withdraw our troops...... "Yu Zhong secretly calculated, hoping to find out the weakness of the most likely enemy since he joined the army, in order to increase his chances of victory. Next to him, Mo Jing was also constantly using her brains, but although she had a decisive influence on the economy of the Qing Dynasty, in the face of the Europeans who came from thousands of miles away, especially when Europe was divided into many countries, and the regime was not unified, she couldn't find a place to start for a while.
………………
"Marshal, Master Zhang Tinglu has arrived!"
Soon after receiving the news of the arrival of the United Nations forces in Europe, Yu Zhong waited for another person in Ava. The younger brother of Zhang Tingyu, the minister of the upper study, Zhang Tinglu.
"Hurry up, please!" Yu Zhong, who was lying on the map looking left and right, heard the report of his own soldiers and hurriedly ordered.
"Wow!" Although there were some incomprehensible governors of the three provinces, the military and political ministers of the three provinces, and the general Zhenyuan of the dynasty would say the word "please" to a general judgment, but the pro-soldiers did not dare to slack off, and immediately went out to give orders.
"Xiaguan Zhang Tinglu, see the big handsome!"
Soon, the current Yuanjiang Tongju, who was not of high status but no one dared to wait for him, appeared in front of Yu Zhong. In his thirties, he is not very tall, a little thin, but his eyes are bright, and he wears an official uniform to make him look more energetic.
"Baochen, it's been hard all the way, sit down!" Yu Zhong seemed very enthusiastic, and Zhang Tinglu's voice fell. was dragged to his seat by him.
"Handsome ......" Zhang Tinglu is quite young, at least, compared to his brothers Zhang Yanyu and Yu Zhong, he is quite young. However, although he was influenced by Ma De in his hometown in Anhui, and even contributed to Ma De's rectification of Anhui officials when he was still a man, and took a group of classmates to visit the people, he did not attach much importance to certain etiquette. However, the honor of personally sending the seat to the super master still made Zhang Tinglu feel a little flattered.
"Baochen, how is the situation in Yuanjiang?" Yu Zhong didn't care about Zhang Tinglu's restraint, and asked with a smile.
"Back to the big marshal, Yuanjiang's affairs are going well, and it is now relatively stable there, and Zhibao County Zun has been able to take care of things......" Hearing Yu Zhong ask about business, Zhang Tinglu hurriedly bowed down and replied. More than ten years ago, shortly after he was promoted, he was invited by Ma De to serve as the "Observer of the Officials' Governance and the People's Situation" of the Governor's Yamen. Twenty-somethings. Youthful spirit. and was very envious of his brother Zhang Tingyu and Kangxi's ministers to meet each other in a young age, which made him very grateful for Ma De's attention. In particular, Ma De first governed Anhui and then the three provinces south of the Yangtze River better and better. He became even more respectful of Mader. and also gave up several opportunities to enter Beijing to participate in the imperial examination, on the one hand, because he was still young at the time, and his brother Zhang Tingyu did not want him to step into officialdom too early, on the other hand, there was no lack of reasons for wanting to learn more things from Ma De. Later, there was a vacancy in a county order in Jiangxi, and Ma De asked him to temporarily take over his post as a lifter. Since the county was relatively poor, he thought it was a chance for Ma der to give him a performance, so he went to the post with a desire to make a difference in the local area. However, I didn't expect it to be a short time later. The imperial court suddenly transferred him to Yunnan.
Puzzled, he didn't know until he arrived in Kunming that Ma De recommended him to Yu Zhong. And when he learned that Yu Zhong wanted him to take charge of the Yuanjiang Tongju and help the imperial court cultivate the first Turen county order, he immediately felt the weight of this task. So, without even thinking about it, he agreed.
Now, he has been working in Yuanjiang for three years. In the past three years, he appeased the people of Yuanjiang who were panicked because of the abolition of Tusi, and on the other hand, he built roads to connect many villages in Yuanjiang, and rectified public order. Encourage production, encourage people of all ethnic groups to interact with Han people, and also establish schools to encourage people of all ethnic groups in Yuanjiang to send their children to study. In addition, in practice, he also cultivated the young prefectural commander of Zhibao, as well as the government officials and catchers composed of ordinary people of all ethnic groups...... Because the people are simple and there is the general environment arranged in Yuzhong, everything goes well. After the officers and soldiers repelled the Burmese army, the liuguan sent to various places also had to go to Yuanjiang to participate in the training first, and the training officer was none other than Zhang Tinglu. Although he was only a small general sentence, because of the hat of "Zhang Tingyu's younger brother" on his head and the support of Yu Zhong and Yang Mingshi, none of the officials who participated in the training dared to say anything wrong.
"Hehe, this is a good ......" Yu Zhong slapped his palms, and looked at Zhang Tinglu with some embarrassment, "Baochen, I have been letting you nest in the remote place of Yuanjiang for the past few years, it's really hard for you!" ”
"What's that, Dashuai? The marshal transferred the humble post from Jiangxi, and directly gave him a heavy responsibility, such a kind of kindness, Tinglu was too late to be grateful, how dare he say that it was hard? Zhang Tinglu hurriedly stood up and shook his hand and said. That's all the truth. That's right, he suffered a lot in Yuanjiang, but first, there was no danger when Yu Zhong sent goblin soldiers to protect him; Second, because he was the first "liuguan" to be sent to replace Tusi since the land was changed and returned to the stream, and he was assigned the task of training liuguan, and now he, although he is still only a small six-grade general judgment, but he has accumulated huge political capital with this, which is not much better than Yang Mingshi, the current political envoy of Yunnan. This is much faster than those officials who work hard to make a difference. It is believed that his promotion in the future will be fast.
"Hehe, worthy of being a contemporary junjie, Baochen's mind is really not ordinary......" Yu Zhong smiled, rubbed his hands and said: "Baochen, do you know why I have to transfer you from Yuanjiang to this Myanmar despite the long distance and hardships?" ”
"This ...... The lower officials don't know. Please also make it clear! Zhang Tinglu's face flushed, and his heart was also excited. Does this need to be asked?
"More than a year since the official army conquered Ava and subdued the Taungoo Dynasty, Burma has been basically pacified. The imperial court has also made it clear to the world that it will set up a province here! However, everything cannot be done in a cluster, it has to be done step by step. Therefore, I have already asked the emperor for instructions to implement military management first, but first set up government offices in the places where we have completely occupied. Take your time with the rest of the place. Now, the official ministry has also sent an official document, Baochen, from now on, you are the first official of the imperial court in Burma, the prefect of Sipin Awa! Yu Zhong said solemnly.
"Awa Prefect?" As expected! Zhang Tinglu said secretly. In his opinion, there is nothing surprising about being promoted to the fourth level in a row, the key is the first official in the newly occupied land, and the meaning of this title is completely different. In the future, the first governor of Burma may not be able to escape from his hands, perhaps, no matter how young he is, with his achievements in the southwest over the years, he can also become the governor of Yunnan, Guizhou and Burma provinces or even higher official positions!
"That's right, it's the prefect of Ava. And ......" Yu Zhong walked up to Zhang Tinglu and patted the other party's shoulder, "If I want to lead troops to battle one day, this Burmese affair will depend on you more!" ”
