Wang Wu and Zhang Changgeng had just "reviewed" the Yunyang Green Camp that had taken over Xingshan, and when they returned, they ordered people to pack up their things and prepare to go to Jingzhou.

Zhang Changgeng also went to Jingzhou together, and the establishment of Mancheng in Jingzhou was a major event that had never been seen before Huguang, and he, the governor of Huguang, needed to personally sit in charge and coordinate all parties.

The focus was to prevent civil unrest when the Han people in the city moved to other places.

The pattern of the city is fixed, and the unity is based on Yanjing as the template, that is, Jingzhou City is artificially isolated into the two cities of Manchu and Han, and the division of the banner and Han is implemented.

The banner people can enter and leave the outer city at will, but the Han people in the outer city are strictly forbidden to set foot in the city.

Wang Wu's understanding is the colonial governance model.

The so-called Mancheng is similar to the concession that was later assigned to foreigners by the Qing court.

However, it is not yet known whether he, the Han army, is stationed in Mancheng or in the outer city.

Because Zhang Changgeng is only responsible for "building", not for "management".

Whether the Zhengbaiqi Han army, which was dominated by Wang Wubu's surrendered army, lived with Zhentaijun from Beijing, or lived outside, had to be decided by Jingzhou General Babur.

According to Zhang Changgeng, this Babur's old surname is Yiergen Jueluo, which is translated as Zhao, and he once fought with Zheng Jun in Fujian and Zhejiang with Dasu.

Previously, he served as the unification of the White Flag of Manchuria.

Unlike the fool Mulima, this Babur still has a certain level.

"Manchuria is unified with white flags? Lao Zhang, who is the commander of Manchuria and me, the Han army? ”

Wang Wu would ask Zhang Changgeng if he didn't understand something.

Zhang Changgeng said that Dutong is actually the former Gushan Ezhen, which is the meaning of the minister in charge of the flag.

Except for the three banners directly under the emperor, the rest of the banners are subordinate to the banner owner in terms of identity, but have nothing to do with the banner owner in terms of position, but are directly appointed by the imperial court.

That is to say, Wang Wu, the white flag of the Han army, belongs to the three banners like the white flag Manchuria and Mongolia, and is only responsible to the emperor, and the banner of the lower five banners is not in charge of them.

In the past, the Lower Five Banners obeyed the orders of their respective Manchurian flag owners.

For example, the Red Banner Mongolia and the Han Army both obeyed the orders of the Manchurian Red Banner Lord, and also regarded the Manchurian Banner Master of the same color flag.

However, now the power of the banner owner has been weakened, whether it is the upper three banners or the lower five banners, the metropolitan and deputy metropolitan commanders are directly appointed by the imperial court, and the affairs of each banner are also responsible for the affairs of the metropolitan yamen of each banner.

In essence, the Manchurian flag lord who has erected the five flags.

Wang Wu nodded after hearing this, and asked "Bai Xiaosheng" Zhang Changgeng: "Originally, Mulima promised to carry me into the Han army with a yellow flag, but now the court has let me enter the Han army with a white flag, is there anything I don't know?" ”

Zhang Changgeng popularized another knowledge point for Wang Wu.

That is, although the Shangsanqi is directly under the orders of the emperor, it is impossible for the emperor himself to really manage the Shangsanqi, so the Minister of Parliament was set up to govern the commanders and vice-commanders of each banner.

There is almost no difference between the power of the Minister of Parliament and that of the Banner Owner.

In the entire Qing Dynasty, there were only a few dozen people who could participate in the Council of Princes and Ministers.

"Do you know who the Minister of Parliament is now?"

"Who?"

"Sukh Saha."

"Huh?"

Wang Wu seemed to understand a little, and if he dared to follow the organizational procedures, he, the Zhengbai Banner of the Han Army, was all under the orders of Su Ke Saha, the Minister of Manchuria of the Zhengbai Banner, and had nothing to do with Aobai, who was born in the Two Yellow Banners.

And Sukh Saha is Aobai's sworn enemy.

According to this clue, Da Yu'er obviously wanted to tie him to the warship Sukh Saha to deal with Aobai.

Also, isn't it his Xishan Wang Yaowu who caused the political crisis of Aobai.

I can't pee in the same pot with Aobai, of course, I have to sit with Aobai's opponent.

The reason is that Da Yu'er, the old lady, is obviously too superficial.

I don't know how Mi Sihan told the old lady, Wang Wu felt that he completely misunderstood what he meant.

He wanted to step on the two boats, Xiao Mazi and Aobai, instead of jumping on the broken ship of Suke Saha, which was about to sink.

It seems necessary to declaring a clear line with Sukh Saha by some means.

At least he couldn't let Ao Bai think that he really wanted to hug Sukh Saha's thigh.

In the next three or four years, Wang Wu didn't want the hard-won years to be wasted because of the battle between Ao Bai and Sukh Saha.

"Although Suke Saha represents the white flag and the auxiliary ministers rank second, but he is alone and can't fight, after you arrive in Jingzhou, Suke Saha will probably send someone to woo you, you have to pay attention to some proportions."

Zhang Changgeng kindly reminded him.

Wang Wu knows it in his heart, and he likes Lao Zhang more and more.

Sure enough, once a person is enlightened, he becomes kind.

Just captured Zhang Changgeng, this governor was going to die or live.

One virtue with Mulima.

Preparing to go and see how the outside was cleaned up, Zhang Changgeng hesitated and asked, "Did you let Niu Wancheng secretly collude with Maolu Mountain?" ”

Wang Wu did not directly answer Lao Zhang's question, but asked Lao Zhang how much the Qing court allocated to the three provinces every year for encirclement and suppression.

Zhang Changgeng said: "In the first year of Kangxi, the household department allocated 6 million taels of silver to Huguang, and in the second year, 7.6 million taels were allocated, and this year it may be more." ”

Why is there more, of course, because the defeat of Mulima has caused serious losses to the Huguang Green Battalion, and it is urgent to replenish the soldiers, materials and equipment, and the other is that Jingzhou has set up a city full of silver and consumes a lot of silver.

Zhang Changgeng estimated that he would have to allocate 10 million taels anyway.

Wang Wu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "In this way, you are quite rich in the Qing Dynasty. ”

"It's our Qing Dynasty,"

Zhang Changgeng corrected it.

It is a fact that the Qing Dynasty is rich now, because a few years ago, it was engaged in selling and paying off debts in Jiangnan, and collected Jiangnan money and grain for ten years at a time, and for this reason, all the more than 10,000 gentry who were dissatisfied with Jiangnan were stripped of their fame and their fame was cut down.

Tanhua Ye Fang Wei only owed a penny, and was also dismissed.

After a few years of selling off the arrears, the treasury is afraid that it will be no less than 100 million taels of silver from Jiangnan.

It can be said that the century-old wealth accumulated by the Jiangnan gentry was swept away.

Although the rest of the places did not make much effort to pay off the arrears, they benefited from the small number of people and the large number of lands, and the financial revenue was also considerable.

Otherwise, how can it afford to spend a huge amount of money every year.

In Yunnan alone, Wu Sangui's family spends more than 9 million taels on military expenditures a year.

In addition to Sichuan, because no one does not take it into account, the remaining provinces also have to pay more than 5 million taels to the three feudal associations every year, and the three feudal kings spend more than 21 million taels of silver every year, accounting for half of the national treasury expenditure.

The war against Kuidong in the last two years also cost a lot of money, so the Qing court was anxious to end the war, which was one of the reasons why Mulima was eager to use troops.

Wang Wu pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Does Lao Zhang Ling have faith as an official?" ”

"What is faith?"

Zhang Changgeng didn't quite understand what this word meant.

Wang Wu explained: "How to say it, it is the goal that your old Zhang pursues for officials, or the meaning of life struggle." ”

Zhang Changgeng didn't think about it: "Of course, it is self-cultivation and Qi family to rule the country and level the world." ”

After hearing this, Wang Wu went further: "Is it to serve the people? ”

"What service?"

Zhang Changgeng was confused, he didn't know where this bastard came from the inexplicable words, pointing out that he was an official in the hope that the world would be peaceful and the people would live and work in peace and contentment.

"What about the others?"

"What else?"

"Personally?"

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

"I mean that the Qing Dynasty allocates so much silver to you a year, even if you are not greedy, it should be no problem to be greedy for 500,000 taels a year, right?"

Zhang Changgeng was silent.

A high-ranking official at the level of a governor, 500,000 taels a year, should be a Qing official.

"500,000 taels a year, 2,500,000 taels in five years, 5,000,000 taels in 10 years,"

Wang Wu pulled his head and calculated the account for Zhang Changgeng very seriously.

was so angry that Zhang Changgeng slapped the table: "What do you want to say?" ”

"The longer the war drags on, the more money there is. Lao Zhang, if you don't want to make a fortune as an official, you might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes. ”

Wang Wu also looked like a kind reminder.
