(Damn, it was successfully released, but it was reviewed again)

In Shanghai, Su Yu and Wei Tuma held talks.

Historically, this monarch was already the No. 2 person in the Far East at this time, and he would be promoted to No. 1 in a few years.

However, in this world, he is still trying, competing for the post of minister, and is doing everything possible to send Sir Bruce away in London.

"Your Royal Highness, I can't believe that in just a few years, my address to you has changed from Sir to Your Highness." "Speaking of which, I'm still your earliest friend."

Seven years ago, Su Yu came to Shanghai to buy weapons, and the first person he visited was this Sir Wittoma.

Of course, it was not a good memory, in a sense, Su Yu was framed and humiliated, and because of this, he killed Zhang Yuzhao and staged a dog-eat-dog drama in front of the British.

Su Yu smiled, "Of course, I still remember the first time I met you, it was really very pleasant. In the entire British Empire, you and Bashali have the deepest understanding of China, and even your understanding of Chinese culture exceeds eighty percent of Chinese."

"No, it should be more than ninety percent." "I am a sinist, and most of the people in your country are illiterate."

Su Yu said, "There is a long way to go, and this is entirely my responsibility."

Sir Wittoma said, "Your Highness, don't you think that you have too much responsibility?"

Su Yu said, "Really?"

"I would like to ask you a question."

Su Yu said, "Please speak."

Sir Wittoma said, "Who is the Chief Minister of Parliament in your country, you? Or Prince Gong?"

Su Yu said, "If you default, it should be Prince Gong."

Wittoma: "But we've only heard your voice."

Su Yu said, "That's probably because Prince Gong is more conservative."

Sir Wittoma said, "With great power comes great responsibility, but it also means great consequences. In many cases, the political consequences are difficult to heal by military means."

Su Yu said, "Do you know that I have a lot of headaches when I communicate with your sir country?"

"My fault, my fault." Wei Tuma said: "I'll be more direct, after you were promoted to the king of the county, you and Prince Gong Yi were tied to lead the political hall, and you proposed four new policies?"

Su Yu said, "Yes, but this is entirely my country's internal affairs."

Sir Wittoma said, "The third of these is not necessarily entirely your country's internal affairs, and it is forbidden to trade."

Su Yu said: "Of course, this is also our country's internal affairs."

Sir Wittoma said, "No, no, no, now that we sell to your country, more than a million pounds a year, if the *** trade is banned, it will be a huge loss for our country."

Su Yu said, "Then do you know how much money your country earns every year from the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone? It's several times more than *** trade."

"But it's just a group of people earning it, isn't it? From the perspective of a former friend, I advise you not to touch *** money."

"And His Royal Highness, it's hard for me to understand, my British Empire is the number one power in the world, but there are still countless people who smoke ***, so what's the matter?"

Su Yu said slowly: "That's because your country has already stood up, it is already strong, it is more decadent, it is more degenerate, it doesn't matter. And our country is so weak, still lying on the ground, unable to withstand a little decadence and depravity."

In fact, if you want to calculate the general ledger of the economy, it is a loss to ban ***.

According to history, it will not take many years for *** to become one of the main revenues of the Qing court. Now the annual tax is about two million taels of silver, and after more than ten years, the tax revenue will reach about six or seven million taels.

There is a mystery in history, the Qing court experienced the Hongyang Rebellion, the Twist Bandit Rebellion, and after the second *** war, there was already a sign of the country's demise, why did it support it for decades

？

According to the analysis of relevant people, there are probably three reasons for this: the Qing court center ceded enough power to the Han local governors to maintain a reluctant balance.

The foreigners used the war to open the country, carried out the Westernization movement, and paid various taxes to the center of the Qing court, which greatly increased the financial revenue of the Qing court, especially the customs revenue controlled by the foreigners.

Because of the best reasons, the financial revenue of the Qing court center increased by nearly two percent.

Therefore, history is so ridiculous, the war of the foreigners against the Qing court, and the evil thing ***, actually renewed the life of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Sir Wittoma said: "Now the British Empire is indeed full of friendship with His Royal Highness, but this friendship is very precious and cannot withstand consumption. Don't forget, the first Sino-British trade war was because of your country's act of gunpowder."

Su Yu said: "Thank you very much Sir Sir for the reminder, but please rest assured, I will properly coordinate with your government on the policy of banning ***."

Then, he picked up his teacup.

Sir Wittoma's face changed slightly.

Su Yu's move is undoubtedly very impolite, because the ban on *** is just an introduction to the conversation between the two, that is, to put pressure on Su Yu first, and then talk about the next important issues.

In the next few years, the all-out war against the Westernization Movement, more than a dozen major projects, and the consortium behind Weituma wanted a piece of the pie.

But he is not easy to talk about, which is a typical way of negotiating with the great powers, first find a problem to pressure you, and let you take the initiative to ask him. Then he reluctantly made a condition, as if it were a gift.

Obviously, the consortium behind Wei Tuoma wanted to invest in Su Yu's next foreign affairs project, but Su Yu begged them.

What Su Yu annoys the most is this way of negotiation.

Sir Wittoma stood up and said, "You know what we want, Your Highness, but don't forget that you are not the only one to choose."

Doesn't that mean that you plan to invest in the Xiangjun Group and support the Xiangjun Group?

Su Yu raised the teacup directly towards the other party.

Sir Witoma left in a huff.

……………………

In the afternoon of the same day, Su Yu received dozens of big businessmen in Shanghai and was interviewed by several Western newspapers.

"China Merchants will be the top priority of my country's next work."

"With the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone in front of Zhuyu, I firmly believe that the China Merchants Conference in a few days will be a great success."

Then, in the study.

Su Yu listened to Shen Baoer's reports.

All of them are about the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone, and there are more than 100 reports.

Today, there are more than 100 factories of all kinds in the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone.

Of course, most of it is about the packages of those giant factories.

"After a year and a half of construction, the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau has begun to take shape, with a total investment of 7.9 million taels."

"The introduction of the Bead Rifle production line is still under intense debate, and our representatives are negotiating hard."

"According to estimates, if we had made our own Soviet-style serial rifles, the cost could be more than 30% higher than the import price."

Su Yu frowned and said, "Why is it so expensive?"

Shen Baoer said: "Because of the cost of introducing the production line, and the salary of foreign engineers has to be paid several times, and several other core components also need to be imported from the UK, our manufacturing bureau cannot make them."

Su Yu said, "The patent right of Su's Lianzhu rifle is ours."

Shen Baoer said: "This is already the cost after deducting the patent fee, and the British prevaricated us in this way, telling us that it is better to buy it. However, they are willing to transfer the production line of the Enfield 1851 rifle to us at a relatively low price."

Su Yu frowned, it sounded very rude.

This is a rifle from more than ten years ago, what am I going to do here?

Su Yu fell silent, thinking and weighing.

Although the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone has a special board of directors and even set up a special committee, all kinds of major events require his approval.

With the introduction of this production line at present, Bai Yan, Bai Feifei and others cannot call the shots.

When she was waiting for Su Yu to make a decision, Shen Bao'er looked at him with a blanket gaze, that kind of fiery admiration.

She glanced behind her, gently sat on Su Yao's lap, and said softly, "Husband, who do you think among the many sisters loves you the most?"

Su Yu weighed the problem of the production line in his mind, and said, "What do you say?"

Shen Bao'er said in a greasy voice: "It seems that Sister Qingqing loves you the most, but it can only be said that her love is the purest, and she loves your appearance and talent."

"That silly girl is the latest to open her mind, she has become a mother of two children, and she is really enlightened in the love between men and women at this age, and her infatuation with you is also pure, she simply loves your looks, and even ignores your identity."

"Only I, Shen Bao'er, have the strongest love and the most complicated. Because my love for you includes pure attraction between men and women, and worship for you, and vanity, and fascination with your dark side, and so on."

"So, I think I'm the woman who loves you the most."

While talking, she knelt down and untied Su Xuan.

Boa, are you so wild?

At this time, Su Yu was thinking about the production line in his mind. Of course, he wanted to show a strong will and desperately crush the British.

However, he knows deep down that time is of the most important importance to him.

At least in the manufacture of weapons, economic interests are not important, autonomous production is the most important.

In particular, he has a lot of blueprints for weapons of mass destruction, and he can't hand over everything to the British arsenal.

Therefore, the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau and the Ordnance Bureau, the sooner they produce, the better, and there is no way to suffer a little loss economically.

"In this way, the production line of Enfield 1853, we promised to introduce, albeit a second-hand one."

"In addition, I am willing to give up the overseas patent fees for Su's Lianzhu rifles, which means that in the future, they will produce this batch of rifles to the global market, and they will no longer need to pay me patent fees."

"But the production line of the Bead Rifle, as well as the several production lines I requested, must be introduced."

"I am willing to pay the high salary of the British engineer, but there is one condition, a British engineer must bring two Chinese apprentices."

Shen Bao'er was engaged in a verbal battle while making a sound from her nasal cavity.

Immediately afterwards, there was a knock on the door outside, and it was Fu Shanxiang, another confidential secretary of Su Yu.

"Lord Wang, there are several important documents that need your signature, can I come in?"

Su Yu said, "Come in."

Fu Shanxiang walked in, holding a few documents in his hand.

Her dress today is really terrible, and the pure uniform is tempting.

is no longer a cheongsam, but a narrow skirt over the knee, but with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

In the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone, there is also an inconspicuous industry, the Royal Garment Bureau.

The royal family here does not refer to the royal family of the British Empire, but the royal family of Su Yao, the king of the county.

The previous name was the Duke's Garment Bureau, and after Su Yu was promoted to the county king, he immediately changed its name to the Royal Garment Bureau.

This garment bureau is responsible for manufacturing the clothing of all the high-level officials in the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone, as well as the uniforms of the new army officers of the empire.

There is also another direction, which is the fashion frontier of men's and women's clothing.

Men's clothing is okay, that is, windbreakers, suits, and tunics.

But women's clothing, that's a lot.

Su Yu gave a large number of drawings, and at first it was all about currying favor with his women and making them wear different clothes.

The British side had a large number of female dependents in Jiujiang, and there were several thousand of them.

A small part of them are staff, and most of them are English

The lover or wife or daughter of a high-ranking man.

They soon set their eyes on all kinds of beautiful clothes for Su Yu's wife and concubine, and then asked to buy them.

Then, they who had money and leisure joined the garment bureau one after another.

I also participated in design learning.

So, unknowingly, this garment bureau led the trend, and all kinds of beautiful and fashionable women's clothing were produced from here.

Su Yu's wives and concubines, this group of foreign women, became the first batch of consumers.

Now, the Royal Clothing Bureau has opened a total of more than a dozen stores in Shanghai, London and Paris.

Under the guidance of several noble ladies, Princess Alice, the pearl of the Queen of the British Empire, also became a shareholder and designer of the Royal Garment Bureau.

Every piece of clothing in this store is expensive, such as the dress on Fu Shanxiang's body, which costs seventy taels of silver, which is exactly the annual income of ordinary workers in Jiujiang.

Moreover, she still paid for it herself.

Her income is also super high, because she has two incomes, one is the salary of Su Yu's confidential secretary, and the other is the allowance of Su Yu's concubine.

Shen Baoer's income is even higher, in addition to these two incomes, she also has some dividends from shops and factories.

Fu Shanxiang also deliberately unbuttoned the silk shirt on his upper body, revealing a snow-white bottomless ravine.

The cup inside is also from the Royal Garment Bureau, five taels of silver a piece.

The perfume on her body is also the royal garment bureau, which costs two taels of silver and a small bottle, and she has an annual quota.

"The first document, some of the most loyal veterans of the Heavenly Kingdom who surrendered to the prince, were willing to go to the gate to open up the wasteland, and the first batch of people was 12,000 people."

Immigrating to the outside of the border, this is not a public document in the imperial court, it is completely Su Yu's personal decision, and it belongs to the kind that only does not say.

"The relevant authority of this batch of immigrants, as well as the scale of the armament, have all been stipulated, and the other thirty leaders, all of whom are disabled and retired veterans of the New Army, are absolutely loyal to the prince."

Su Yu still took this step, although it was a bit risky, but it was sinister outside the gate, and there would definitely be a series of conflicts with the flag people in the future, and the honest people would definitely not be able to.

Therefore, I still chose the veterans of the Heavenly Kingdom.

They have been educated for several months, and the very simple and crude education is completely instilled with Su Yu's concept and loyalty to Su Yu.

Moreover, more than 10,000 people are armed.

A bit similar to the meaning of the Production and Construction Corps, more precisely, it should be a second-line militia.

Su Yu took a deep breath, and then signed the document.

"The second document is a document about the elimination of soldiers by the Twist Army and the Taiping Army, and the entry into the Dexing Copper Mine, the Pingxiang County Coal Mine, and the Fuxian (Xinyu)) Iron Mine, with a total of 32,000 people."

Su Yu read this document carefully, there were 32,000 people, and the silver alone was more than one million.

Su Yu signed the text.

"The third document, about the surrender of the kingdom of heaven, after three months of training, the first batch has been able to enter the textile factory for internships, with a total number of 17,000 people."

It's not that more than 10,000 people are all directly arranged to be textile workers, and there is not such a big vacancy.

Most of them are arranged to work on sericulture farms, cotton farms, and flax farms.

The fourth document, about the surrender of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, young and strong, with a certain degree of military literacy, but there are not enough people to enter the new army of the empire, underwent several months of professional training, and arranged to work in the Jiujiang Police Department, the Mining Bureau Police Department, and the Yangtze River Transportation Police Department, a total of 1,300 people."

Su Yu signed the fourth document.

This time, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom as a whole surrendered to Su Yu, and the Twist Army surrendered to Su Yu, and the final count showed that the total number was 1.26 million.

Surrender is really just the beginning, and the next resettlement is the most important thing.

Among them, there are more than 100,000 people, who are considered to be the more elite people in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Twist Army, and they need to be arranged to more suitable positions.

Su Yu said: "

Anything else?"

Fu Shanxiang said: "There is also the last one, which is about the surrender generals of the Heavenly Kingdom, the surrender generals of the Twist Army, and the study list of the first time to enter the Imperial Army Academy, a total of five hundred and twenty-six people."

Today, the Imperial Army Academy has more than 1,000 cadets every time.

And the number of instructors and instructors is also more than six hundred.

These 600 people were really brought out by Su Yu himself, including more than 100 foreigners, all of whom were students of Su Yao.

As long as Su Yu is free, he will go to Tianjin to teach students, even if the past month or two has been extremely busy and the situation in the capital is extremely depressing, he has also gone to twelve classes.

When he was away, Lin Li presided over the work of the college.

This most fanatic of Su Yu, the top theorist, almost threw himself into the educational work of the academy by burning his life.

He has more than 200 backbones, all of whom are characters with the same attributes as him.

Sometimes, Su Yu felt that his theories were too extreme, too inflammatory, and easy to go to the line of militarism, and he had to pull him back.

Before, all the books in the library of the entire Imperial Army Academy were basically provided by Su Yu, and the entire theoretical system was all there.

Now, Lin Li's team has begun to extend this theoretical system.

And it is an extension of Su Yu's personality cult.

Su Yu signed the last document.

After the work was finished, Fu Shanxiang faced Su Yu, and his whole delicate body came over directly, gently lying on the table, and said softly: "Lord Wang, can I take me with you when I go to Nanjing this time?"

It doesn't matter if she comes here, she suddenly saw Shen Bao'er lying at the bottom of the table, she exclaimed softly, her face flushed. Shen Bao'er, I knew you were shameless, but I didn't expect you to be so shameless? I'm reporting, but you're spitting.

Instinctively wanting to run away.

But as soon as he ran two steps, he turned back, squatted down and said to Shen Bao'er, "Sister Bao'er, give way a little."

Su Yu's female dependents are divided into three factions, the Manchu faction, the Han faction, and the Heavenly Kingdom faction.

Hong Renli is the leader of the Heavenly Kingdom faction, he dislikes Lin Xiang'er every day for being stupid, it is useless, he mentions Fu Shanxiang's life, if you want to fight, the future future of the Heavenly Kingdom faction depends on you.

Therefore, Shen Baoer is Fu Shanxiang's biggest competitor, but both of them are talented women and confidential secretaries.

So next, the plot of the two daughters winning bamboo shoots was staged.

Next, there is the stacking music, the row of music, the four-petaled flower, and the two heavens.

……………………

The next day, Su Yu temporarily left Shanghai and went to Nanjing to carry out the removal of the Eight Banners in the southeastern provinces.

This city is almost the second base camp of Su Yao.

Because of the sincerity of the entire team of the Kingdom of Heaven, this city also belongs to a very high level of loyalty.

In addition, in the Westernization movement planned by Su Yu next, Hangzhou and Nanjing are key cities.

There are many large-scale projects that will fall on the head of Nanjing.

In the old Heavenly King's Mansion, Su Yu was receiving the Manchurian commanders and generals in the southeastern provinces.

"Xiaguan Jiangning General Tuo Ming'a, meet the prince." Tomina skillfully greeted Su Yu.

The former general Yipin, after this disarmament, he lost all power.

The position of General Jiang Ning will be directly abolished.

This person has the earliest and deepest friendship with Su Yao.

But now he is still estranged, because how many times he has stood in line, he has chosen to retreat, and no one on either side is offended, he just wants to be his own *** in peace.

Now that the Heavenly Kingdom of Balance is gone, there is no need for the Jiangbei camp to exist.

Su Yu said slowly: "Tomin'a, this time it is not only the Eight Banners Army in the southeastern provinces that will be abolished, but also your Jiangbei battalion, which will also be abolished.

Tomin looked at Su Yu with a pleading expression.

Su Yu said, "Of course, if you have any ideas, you can also write to me

Faith."

Tomina bowed his head and said, "Thank you, minion, Lord Long."

A few years ago, Tomina was still the boss, a Shangguan, and even called himself his brother in front of Su Yu for the sake of Corporal Lixian.

And now, it's a self-proclaimed minion.

In fact, Tomina has one more chance to stand in line, so I don't know if he can grasp it himself.

It's just that this time he wants to take the initiative to take the risk and stand up, and Su Yu will never remind him again.

Then he respectfully kowtowed, "Slave retire!"

Su Yu said, "Go ahead."

The second person to visit Su Yu was Duolonga, one of the Manchurian Twin Tigers.

As mentioned before, now the Eight Banners of Manchuria are in decline, but there are still famous generals, one is Duxing'a, and the other is the Mongolian capital, Jingzhou General Duolong'a.

It's just that this person has been fighting under the command of the Hunan army for a long time, so he has a very close relationship with the Hunan army.

This time, all of his troops will be wiped out.

"The lower official pays a visit to King Yijun." Dorona stepped forward and saluted.

Su Yu stepped forward to help him up and said, "Auditorium, Mo Duoli, Mo Duoli."

"I've seen it, the Eight Banners of the Southeast Provinces to be eliminated this time, a total of about 20,000 or 30,000, belong to the most elite of your soldiers and horses, and you are a meritorious man." Su Yu said: "This time in Nanjing, the eight banners in the southeast will be abolished, plus the camp in the north of the Yangtze River, a total of 46,000 people, and 8,000 people will be selected from them to be incorporated into the new army of the empire, I am very optimistic about the soldiers and horses under your command."

Duolong said, "Thank you for the compliment."

Su Yu said, "The northwest will face a big battle next, and a large number of cavalry will be needed. At present, we have a few famous cavalry generals, Wang Shiqing, Zhang Zongyu, I hope you can also count one."

Zhang Zongyu, the hob meat, is really a cavalry genius. After entering the Imperial Army Academy, Su Yu instructed people to press him, but he still stood out in various indicators.

Duolonga still said rigidly, "Thank you for the compliment."

Su Yu said, "Next, I would like to recommend you to study at the Imperial Army Academy. What position you can take up in the future depends on your own assessment results, whether you are willing to do so."

Duolonga said, "The lower official is willing."

He was not surprised by this result.

Duolonga and the Hunan army got close, that was because of the needs of the previous war, and in itself, he did not belong to the Hunan army, he belonged to the banner people.

Now Su Yu is abolishing the Eight Banner Army, as the tiger of the banner people, his biggest ideal and goal is to gain a firm foothold in the new army of the future empire and retain a point of vitality for the banner people.

The next person to meet was the Guangzhou General Mukdenne, a position that made people sound Wu Mengda in "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier".

However, the two obviously have nothing to do with each other.

"The minion greets the prince." Another self-proclaimed minion.

It's just that this Guangzhou general is sick, and it is obvious that after this dismissal, he will completely lose his chance to be in the officialdom and retire completely.

The reason why the attitude is so humble is because he made money before, and the suppression of heaven and earth will be too ruthless, and he is afraid of Su Yao's liquidation.

Now many backbones of the Heaven and Earth Society have also entered Su Yu's forces, and many of them are engaged in secret work, which Mukdena has also heard of, and this matter is really unbelievable for him as a banner general.

Su Yu's dignified clan, with the flag, did not use it, and even went to use the Heaven and Earth Association that opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty.

And this group of heaven and earth will be chaotic and even more interesting, they actually went to be loyal to Su Yu, the prince of the Qing Dynasty.

Su Yu casually explained two sentences, and then waved his hand.

Mukhdne bowed: "Slave leave!"

Next, the summons of the senior generals of the Eight Banners, such as General Fuzhou, Qingzhou Metropolitan Commander, and General Hangzhou, were all going through the motions.

It only took more than half an hour for all the meetings to be completed.

Next, Su Yu took Fu Shanxiang and Shen Bao'er to revisit the old place in the Tianwang Mansion and the East Wangfu.

It's just that the memory of the East Wangfu is obviously not very good, and Fu Shanxiang is a little repulsed.

treasure

Holding Su Yu's hand, he strolled through the Dongwang Mansion, and stopped talking.

"What's wrong?" Su Yu said.

Shen Baoer said: "The eldest brother is like a fish in water in the economic experimental zone, and he has accumulated a lot of money, which is very good."

Of course, Su Yu knew that the eldest brother Su Quan's one-sided personality was very unflattering in the officialdom of the Qing court, but in the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone, it seemed to be tailor-made for him.

He is sensitive to numbers, and his requirements for integrity are almost pedantic, and he has to review and review every part of the budget.

Corruption is really hard to hide under his nose.

Next, to develop Nanjing and Hangzhou, Hu Xueyan is in charge of Hangzhou, and Su Quan is in charge of Nanjing.

"By the way, the eldest brother has taken a concubine recently." Shen Baoer said.

Su Yu was stunned, he really didn't know about this matter.

The eldest brother Su Quan is extremely dedicated to Bai Feifei, how can he take a concubine?

Shen Bao'er said, "It was his sister-in-law who gave him a concubine."

Su Yu said, "Is it asking for a son?"

Shen Bao'er nodded and said, "Hmm."

Su Yu said, "How long has it been since you took a concubine?"

Shen Bao'er said, "It's been more than five months."

Su Yu said, "Is there any news?"

"Nope." Shen Bao'er shook her head and said, "Mother-in-law is very anxious, and Su Dong's side, even several brothers of father-in-law, want to pass on their grandson to the eldest brother, but the eldest brother is unwilling."

After Su Yu developed, he was very estranged from his uncle's family and his uncle's family.

However, helplessly, the cousins of the uncle's family and the cousins of the uncle's family still entered Su Yu's career on a large scale.

At present, there are no important positions, at most they are middle-level.

Of course, Sukh's father was happy, and accepted the praise of his brother and his wife every day.

This time, Su Yu was canonized as the king of the county, his father Su He was also promoted to duke, and his eldest brother Su Quan was also made an earl.

The most alive belongs to Sukh.

I put the duke's robe on my body all day long, and I was reluctant to take it off.

On the contrary, the old-fashioned eldest brother Su Quan wore a Zhongshan uniform all day long, completely abandoning the robes of the Qing Dynasty.

Su Yu said, "In the future, we will have a few more children here, and one or two will be passed on to the eldest brother."

"This, of course it's a way." Shen Bao'er suddenly squirmed and said, "There is one thing, if I say something wrong, the master is not allowed to scold me."

Su Yu said, "What?"

Shen Bao'er said: "What my mother-in-law means is that my sister-in-law works hard and is the most important relative in our family, and it is not fair to have no biological children. There is also a big family business to inherit in the future, but simply as a woman, she ...... I want to have children too."

Su Yu said, "Nonsense, don't mention it again at this time."

……………………

The next day, the major disarmament was officially launched.

Wang Shiqing took the first division and personally suppressed the entire scene.

Disarmament and recruitment of the Reich's new army were carried out at the same time.

Although many have questioned the high cost of moving tens of thousands of people, a commissioner should be sent to a Eight Banners station to carry out disarmament.

But Su Yu still insisted that the Minister of War preside over the disarmament, and let the eight banners of each province go to a certain place to assemble.

Although this will pay a price of more than 300,000 taels of silver.

This time, Su Yu wanted to reduce nearly 50,000 troops, and all sides were facing a great enemy, lest someone mutiniate and make trouble.

Especially in the whole south, there are many people with ill intentions.

There are indeed several hidden dangers.

There were more than a few hundred Eight Banner soldiers, who planned to make trouble at the disarmament site, and planned to scold Su Yao.

However, it was reported in advance by the other Eight Banner soldiers, and all these hundreds of people were arrested.

Dozens of people were secretly executed.

The remaining hundreds of people were directly expelled from the flag, so the disarmament subsidies were all recovered.

Not only that, but also found out three plans to assassinate Su Yu.

This scared the officials of the intelligence department into a cold sweat, and they made a big investigation to find out whether there was a big fish behind it, and whether it was the mastermind of the prince of the Eight Banners in Beijing.

Hundreds of people were arrested at once, and the case is still being heard.

However, according to the judgment of professionals, it is most likely a random event, and there is no big conspiracy behind the scenes, that is, a few bold banner officers are resentful in their hearts and plan to assassinate Su Yao.

Because their assassination plan was full of loopholes, and before they could start to carry out, they had already drunk and said it themselves, so they were reported in advance.

Although there are some hidden dangers, they are all eliminated in advance.

The whole process of disarmament went very smoothly.

The eight banners of the southeastern provinces, plus the nearly 50,000 people in the Jiangbei camp, were all smoothly dismissed.

In addition, 8,000 elites were selected from them and transported directly to the Tianjin Military Station to become the new army of the Empire.

As Su Yu expected, a small half of it was Dolonga's subordinates.

The remaining nearly 40,000 people, all of whom received their own retrenchment subsidies and travel subsidies, returned to their respective homes under the leadership of their respective governors to fend for themselves.

Moreover, seventy percent of the subsidy will be paid from Jiangnan Silver every month in the future.

However, if the retrenched soldiers make trouble in the future, or do evil, the payment of subsidies will be stopped.

In addition, several major iron mines, coal mines, and even factories are also recruiting on the spot, and the work arrangements for these laid off Eight Banners soldiers can be regarded as a rehearsal for the reform of flag affairs.

The results were not very good, and very few people signed up.

These Eight Banners soldiers are used to doing it, and they are not willing to engage in these so-called lowly jobs at all.

Su Yu does not insist that when the flag is reformed in the future, I hope that your savings will be enough to support your life.

If you don't do the work assigned to you, and you will go to the street to ask for food in the future, don't blame me.

…………………………

August 17.

The China Merchants Conference has officially begun.

The scene was very grand.

Ministers, counselors, and consuls of Britain, the United States, Russia, France, and other countries were all present.

Zeng Guofan, Governor of Liangjiang, Xu Youren, Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Guan Wen, Governor of Huguang, Yan Duanshu, Governor of Liangguang, Wang Youling, Governor of Zhejiang, Li Hongzhang, Governor of Jiangxi, Governor of Hubei, Governor of Hunan, Governor of Anhui, Governor of Guangdong, Governor of Guangxi, and other governors were all present.

Reporters from newspapers in Britain, the United States, France and other countries were also present.

In addition, there are more than 100 wealthy businessmen.

But everyone can see that this investment conference is aimed at the Hunan army.

Because, all the wealthy businessmen invited are closely related to the Hunan army.

In other words, it is a wealthy merchant consortium under the control of the Hunan army.

Couldn't Su Yu invite other consortia? Of course not, many consortia flock to it.

However, this investment conference was held specifically for the Hunan army.

In exchange for the disarmament of the Hunan army and the surrender of power in the southern provinces, huge benefits were exchanged.

The atmosphere of the audience was very depressing.

Because Su Yao's formation was too big.

Chinese and foreign camps, all who can be invited, are invited.

In other words, whether the Hunan army surrendered or opposed, it was vigorous and had nowhere to hide.

Chinese and foreign witnesses.

If you have made a choice, don't go back.

There are two people who preside over it, one is the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Wen Xiang, and the other is the future Minister of Foreign Affairs Shen Baozhen.

Wen Xiang once persuaded Su Yu, saying that if he could invite the Shanxi consortium, the Mongolian consortium, etc., to be present, in that case, if the Hunan army did not surrender, they could also be allowed to fill it immediately, so as not to make the situation too ugly.

Lest people say that the China Merchants Conference of Prince Su Yu failed.

But Su Yu refused, what he wanted was to be clear and clear.

And after arriving in Shanghai, Zeng Guofan repeatedly asked to see Su Yu, but was refused.

Because there is no need to meet and talk again

, Su Yu has already given the highest chips that can be given.

You either say yes or you refuse.

A few cannon shots!

The China Merchants Conference has officially begun.

Su Yu did not speak, Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Wen Xiang spoke, British Empire Counsellor in China Ba Xiali spoke, and then Minister of Foreign Affairs Shen Baozhen spoke.

Of course, no one cares what these people are saying.

Everyone is only concerned about one point, will the Hunan army surrender in the end?

Soon the signing ceremony officially began.

Representatives of businessmen from the Hunan faction came to sign various cooperation agreements.

Of course, this is only a draft agreement.

It's a bit similar to our boss going to a foreign visit, signing hundreds of billions of intent orders at the moment, and then not counting, depending on how the situation changes.

Countless cameras at the scene of "Boom ......" were constantly taking pictures.

The entire signing ceremony lasted about two quarters of an hour.

Afterwards, all the signed intent agreements were visited in front of Su Yu.

Moreover, Hu Xueyan immediately calculated and summarized on the spot.

Seeing this scene, Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang and several other Hunan army bigwigs' faces changed.

Do you want to announce it in public?

Is it true that there is not even a little leeway?

Only a quarter of an hour later, Hu Xueyan finished summarizing.

Shen Baozhen, the deputy minister of China Merchants, had a serious face, got up and announced, "At this China Merchants Conference, the amount of intention to sign is 6.92 million taels!"

The target set by Su Yu is 50 million taels, of which 60% goes to the Hunan Army Foundation.

In other words, if the Hunan army wants to surrender, the intended amount is 30 million taels.

And that's the total investment for the next six years.

As a result, the other party only signed more than six million taels.

This...... It is the refusal to surrender.

This is the breakdown of negotiations.

But he was worried about turning his face, so he signed nearly seven million taels as if he had given face.

Everyone in the audience held their breath.

This means that Su Yao's recruitment conference has failed.

This means that the Hunan military group officially intends to stand on the opposite side.

Su Yu slowly stood up.

Suddenly, all the cameras frantically pressed the flash.

The Times reporter asked, "King Su Yujun, does this mean the failure of the China Merchants Conference?"

A reporter from the American newspaper "Public Events at Home and Abroad" asked, "King Su Yujun, does this mean that your negotiations with the Hunan army have failed?"

"Excuse me, does this mean that a civil war is about to break out in the Qing Kingdom?"

The questions of this group of foreign reporters were bolder than the other, and the faces of Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang and others continued to tremble.

Su Yu didn't answer, just nodded at them.

He then shook hands with the ministers of several countries.

Then, he took Shen Baozhen, Wang Youling, Xu Youren, Wen Xiang and other descendants officials to officially leave.

Zeng Guofan took Li Hongzhang, Peng Yulin and others to catch up, and said, "Su Xiang, Su Xiang, please allow me to say something."

Su Yu turned around and said, "There's nothing to say, Zeng Gong."

"Just remember that this is your own path."

"Farewell!"

Then, Su Lu walked away.

The two sides formally broke up.
