Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 54 Come to cheat, come to sneak attack.

Chapter 54, come to cheat, come to sneak attack.

"Looks like Qianlong is ready."

In the meeting hall of Prince Ming's Mansion.

The ministers were divided into civil and military, and sat on both sides of the long conference table in the conference room.

And Zhu Daohua was sitting at the front of the meeting room.

For the ministers under King Ming
They were not used to this habit of sitting and deliberating.

But Boss Zhu was not used to the Manchu rules—as for what the rules were before the Manchus, no one knew very well.

So he simply followed his own rules.

Although the Ming Palace restored the Jinyiwei institution.

However, it is also difficult for the Jinyiwei, who has just started, to get information to Qianlong's side.

Now Jin Yiwei's intelligence sources for the Qing Dynasty are more through the contact with the mouths of Tiandi Halls in various places.

It is also difficult for these people in the world to get news from the court.

But since the Governor's Office of Guangdong and Guangxi sent people to Nanyang to seek the purchase of guns and artillery.

That at least explains.

The Qing court has already begun preparations for war.

"Your Majesty, the green camps in Jiangxi, Hunan, and Guizhou in the Qing Dynasty all showed signs of being transferred. If nothing else, they were transferred to Guangdong. In addition, the Governor's Mansion of Guangdong and Guangxi recruited [-] Xiangyong. In addition, the Guangdong green camp originally stationed in Zhaoqing was recently transferred to Xin'an. County, Xiangshan County, Dongguan County, Shunde County and other places were stationed, and the Guangdong Navy also shrank to the Pearl River Estuary, and most of the warships were stationed in Shajiao and Baisha Village.”

One of the three hundred veterans who followed King Ming to Europe.

Gong Zhuman, who was originally just a gunner, is now the commander of Jin Yiwei's capital.

Gong Zhuman is introverted, not talkative, and not good at socializing.

It's easy to contradict people when you speak.

In today's words.
Emotional intelligence is not high.

So the relationship with colleagues is not good.

But he's good at math.

Especially good at statistics.

That's why Zhu Daohua likes him. ,

When deciding to build an intelligence network.

Let him be the commander of Jinyiwei.

After all, intelligence.

In fact, the main thing is to do statistical work.

The names of many intelligence agencies in later generations are XX Statistics Bureau and the like.

"Everyone, it seems that our opponent's reaction is not slow."

Wait for Gong Zhuman to finish speaking.

Zhu Daohua looked at the senior civil and military officials present.

"Your Majesty, the Qing Tartars want to buy muskets. Don't they know that in the South Seas, as long as Your Majesty doesn't allow it, no ship will dare to go north with muskets?"

Zhao Si, who was already Minister of the Army Department, grinned.

"That being said, this king really wants to do this business with Qing Da."

Zhu Daohua laughed.

"Aren't you a fool if you don't make money if you have money?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Qian Heng, the governor of the Straits Governor's Mansion, couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

Zhu Daohua smiled: "I heard that the Thirteen Banks of the Guangzhou Mansion, known as Nanku, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, made these compradors a lot of money by doing business. I am a little interested in the purse of the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. .”

Can you not be interested?

Shisanhang was the only comprador in the Qing Dynasty that could do business with foreign countries.

Those who can be called the emperor Nanku, can they have no money?

Moreover, the Qing Dynasty was a typical small-scale peasant society.

A large amount of silver flowed in but it was difficult to circulate.

A large number of them were hidden in the coffers of the rich and powerful families.

Thirteen Bank's silver holdings will never be less than ten million taels.

This is a huge sum of money.

Who would not be interested in the white money.

"My lord, do you have a solution?"

Gu Song asked.

"There's no way to talk about it, let's take one step at a time." Zhu Daohua waved his hand and said.

Interlocking conspiracy or something.

It's too difficult to play.

And it's not practical either.

"At least lure Qing Da to buy the musket first." Zhu Daohua stroked his chin and thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "Go and invite Taipan Rodriguez."

"Silver from the Thirteen Banks and the Qing government?"

A Spaniard who is not tall but has extremely thick hair is sitting opposite Zhu Daohua, leaning forward slightly, with a look of great interest on his face.

This guy named Rodriguez is well known in Western Europe
financial fraudster.

A notorious villain in European financial circles
Also his reputation is too great.

Make him completely unable to get along in Europe.

Finally followed Zhu Daohua to the East.

Boss Zhu felt that he had become Lord Mengchang.

All thieves and thieves are accepted as followers.

As a "financial elite", Rodriguez is now helping out at Chris Bank.

But this is obviously not what Rodriguez is interested in.

"You want to cheat Thirteen Bank's money?"

Rodriguez's lips curled up.

"No, no, it's not a lie."

Zhu Daohua corrected.

"What I want to see is that all the money of the rich and wealthy in Guangdong can be deposited in my bank"

Rodriguez smiled: "I understand, my lord, their silver is in your bank, so they will naturally listen to you."

"Can it be done?"

Rodriguez thought for a while, and said honestly: "It's difficult. Now in the East, Daohua Bank and Chris Bank are the only ones that can absorb savings on a large scale. Who doesn't know the relationship between these two banks and you?"

"It's nothing, just set up a new bank."

Zhu Daohua waved his hand and said.

"In the name of the United Kingdom, set up a London HSBC bank, and I will invest solely in it. If you can manage to deposit the silver of Thirteen Bank and Guangdong wealthy households in HSBC, I can give you 1% of HSBC's shares."

"Is this true?" Rodriguez learned Chinese well.

"You have no jokes."

Rodriguez was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Don't worry, I will try my best to complete the task."

Zhu Daohua smiled slightly: "Rodriguez, you are the best villain and fraudster in Europe. So I am at ease with you. I will give you a baron title first, and then let your three sons go to Daming Duke Go to school."

Rodriguez hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Do it well." Zhu Daohua stood up, "Let's start with the line with Liu Guangliang and Vicente. They can get in touch with Fu Kang'an, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi."

Liu Guangliang and Vicente did not know.

From the first time they stepped into Batam.

He was followed by Daming Jinyiwei.

At this time, the two of them seemed like bumpkins who had just entered the city, and were stunned by the prosperity of Batam Island.

"There are more people than Guangzhou Mansion, right?"

Standing in the port, looking at the rows of sails, Vicente's tongue couldn't help but start to get knotted.

Due to the special status of Batam.

Today's Batam is definitely one of the busiest ports in the world.

East-West trade.

It is gathered on this island that is several times larger than Hong Kong Island.

The sailing ships coming and going show the trade demand bursting out in this era of great navigation.

"This port is Niming's pocketbook"

Liu Guangliang took a deep breath and said.

"Let's go to the comprador of Jardine House first."

Vicente turned his head.

I happened to see a newsstand.

"Ta Kung Pao?"
