Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 321 Cowboys in Australia, Eight Banners in India.

"Is there really a gold mine?!"

Bai Ning was shocked.

He looked down at the flyer.

It turned out that a large gold mine in the southeastern part of the Australian mainland was jointly purchased by the four wealthy local families of Guangzhou, Pan, Lu, Wu and Chen.

Now recruiting people to mine.

There is no salary.

But there can be "commission".

[-]% of the gold mines dug out belong to the four major families, and [-]% belong to themselves.

"Aren't the four big masters being taken advantage of? Can mining be done like this?"

Wu Xinzhong also came over to look at the flyer, and said with a frown.

Du Ruchong stopped a young man who seemed to be queuing up to sign up.

The young man is not tall, has dark skin, and is wearing a short shirt that has been popular in the past two years.

"This little brother, I'm in Sichuan Du Ruchong, how dare I ask my name?"

The Guangdong boy who was stopped stared at him: "Oh, so you are that Du Ruchong! That treacherous Confucian student who caused trouble in Central Capital."

"This." Du Ruchong was stunned.

He was wearing a scholar's gown and a square scarf.

At first glance, it looks like a scholar who is studying.

If it is in Sichuan.

How dare ordinary people talk to him like that.

This Cantonese guy is too unruly!
"My name is Lin Afei, what can you do?"

Lin Afei is also straightforward, and after blurting out, he regretted it in his heart.

They are people who dare to petition in front of the emperor, and they are also well-known in Guangdong, and many old landlords and rich people sympathize with them.

In case of offending, I can't afford it as a small person.

Rolling his eyes, he hurriedly cupped his hands respectfully.

"Are these people going to dig gold mines?"

"Of course it is, why don't everyone line up to buy barbecued pork?" Lin Afei wanted to slap his own mouth at this time, why didn't he stop talking about this stinking mouth.

"These four gold mines bought with money, why do [-]% go to the gold mines?"

Du Ruchong asked.

"Otherwise, who will work for them?" Lin Afei said, "Don't you know? The location of the gold mine seems to be around a city called Sydney, which was originally used by the British to exile prisoners. Ten years ago Then British desperadoes came there one after another to make money. Later, my Ming Indian Ocean Fleet sent people to occupy Sydney City, but those British fled into the mountains. The most hateful thing is that they dared to collude with the local aborigines, targeting I am Daming!"

Lin Afei said coldly.

These words were not pleasant to the ears of those former Qing Dynasty veterans and a few Confucian gentlemen.

For the veterans of the former Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty actually used force in Australia and Britain thousands of miles away, and easily won. How strong is the force of the Ming Dynasty?
But for Confucian scholars like Wu Xinzhong and Du Ruchong, the Ming Dynasty used military force thousands of miles away, but the people under it did not know the harm of military use.

"What does this have to do with getting [-]% ​​of the gold mining?"

"What does it matter? Of course it does. I heard that those Britons are all outlaws in their country. Now that they have lost their territory, how can they rest? They often attack Daming immigrants and mines, so those who go to mine must buy revolvers. Learn Ride on horseback, and gather to fight the Britons if necessary!"

Understood.
Several people suddenly realized.

It turned out that the place was too dangerous. If the miners were squeezed like the mainland, then another army would be raised.

But the Four Great Masters are private capital, how dare they support the army?
Fortunately, according to Mingli, all subjects of Ming Dynasty have the right to hold guns.

So it was up to the miners to organize and fight.

But since the miners are required to fight, this squeeze is naturally not suitable.

The benefits must be distributed.

Looking at Lin Afei's attire, if he had a revolver on his waist, then he would definitely be attired like a Ming colonialist.

The Ming Dynasty was so violent externally, maybe it was not the same as the Qin Dynasty, and died in the second generation, right?
but
Emperor Zhu is so fierce, how could he live another 40 to [-] years.

Wanted the "First Emperor" of Ming Dynasty to die suddenly.

It's not easy.
It seems that the barbarians around the Ming Dynasty will be in bad luck
Du Ruchong couldn't help but let out a long sigh when he saw Lin Afei happily queuing up to be the vanguard of the invasion of Australia.

He couldn't help but think of the Qin and Han systems recorded in the history books.

The scene where the common people rejoice when they hear the battle.It's somewhat similar to now.

only.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, military exploits were the most important.

And this Great Ming Dynasty distributed the benefits of expansion and development to the pioneers.

Most of the benefits in this world belonged to the scholar-bureaucrats, but now, it seems that the benefits of opening up overseas cannot be ignored.

At this time, Du Ruchong vaguely began to feel some reasons why Emperor Zhu suppressed the scholar-bureaucrats and expanded overseas.
"In the Ming Dynasty, there are battlefields in the east, west, north, and south, and they are all expanding. How come the treasury is full and the military is strong?"

Shen Song frowned and said puzzledly.

Several people fell silent.

Then everyone found a hotel in Guangzhou City and lived there.

After staying for a few days.

Several people have a new understanding of the city of Guangzhou. There are almost no taboos in this city.

They even saw articles mocking Prime Minister Luo in the newspapers—if it was placed in the previous dynasty, let alone the Nine Clans Xiao Xiao Le, it would be the treatment of copying and beheading the three tribes of barbarians.

"It's not bad to stay in Guangzhou. At least it's farther away from Emperor Zhu's central capital. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty has just organized immigrants to the Northeast in the Central Plains. I'm afraid that Emperor Zhu will not come to Guangzhou very often."

Bai Ning said.

"Grandpa, are we not going to India anymore?"

Several people went south to Guangzhou, hoping to find a chance to go to Lebao by boat.

Bai Ning didn't want to go at first, but because they were also implicated in the mass arrest of Chengdu Gongyuan, the weapons of some of his subordinates were discovered, which led to the arrest of a group of remnants of the Eight Banners.

Bai Ning also had no choice but to go all the way to the dark with Shen Song.

"Lets see."

Bai Ning really didn't want to go to India.

However, Shen Song and the others yearned for the Governor-General of the Qing Dynasty very much, because when they got there, they might have an advantage over the noble children of the Eight Banners.

Just now.

Vicente burst in.

"Second master, hurry up! Let's go! We may be exposed!"

Shen Song and Bai Ning suddenly stood up.

"what happened?"

"I met Zhao Wen, he is the governor of Guangdong now! He probably recognized me," Vicente said with a sad face.

"What a traitor!" Shen Song scolded.

But soon found that there is a problem with this statement.

How could this Zhao Wen be a traitor?
He can only be regarded as a traitor.

But he's not a Tartar
He was the prefect of Guangzhou in the Qing Dynasty, and then he surrendered directly. Unexpectedly, his official fortune has been good in these years, and he even became the governor of Guangdong Province.

You must know that Guangdong was very important in the Ming Dynasty. Being the governor of Guangdong means that Zhao Wen is likely to enter the cabinet of the court.
"Let's go! To India."

Bai Ning took a deep breath and said.

"What about Wu Xinzhong and them?"

"Don't care about them, we are not the same as them!"
