Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 79 The Rebellion Spends Money Like Water

It took eight days for Emperor Qianlong's will to reach Fukang'an's hands.

It was originally in accordance with the rules of the Qing Dynasty.

The fast horse transfer from Beijing to Guangzhou has to be delivered within six days.

But no way.

When the postman who passed the decree set off in Beijing.

The news I got was that Mr. Fukang Anfu led the troops to town Zhaoqing.

When he arrived in Ganzhou, he got the news.

Zhaoqing Mansion has been lost.

Fukang'an retreated to Wuzhou in one breath.

In addition, Shaozhou Prefecture has also been occupied by the Ming army.

The rioters of Tiandihui caused chaos in southern Fujian, eastern Guangdong, and western Guangdong.

So we can only bypass Chenzhou, enter Guangxi, and then go south to Wuzhou.

It was only then that the order to call Fu Kang'an back to Beijing was delivered to him.

Fukang'an looked over and over at the imperial decree in his hand.

"It's just recalling Beijing, not destroying the Dingdai and putting them in a prison van?"

Fukang'an himself felt a little too strange.

Even if he is the favorite minister of Emperor Qianlong.

Throw away such a big crime as Guangdong.

Not decapitating is already a mighty grace of the emperor.

Now it's just a resignation and returning to Beijing?
And it's just that the official position of governor of Guangdong and Guangxi is gone.

I didn't say how to deal with the positions of the first-class Jiayong Zhongrui and the deputy governor of Manchuria Xianghuang Banner?
"My lord, are you going to watch the training of the Zhongyong Battalion this afternoon?"

A stout man next to him reminded him.

Fukang'an pondered for a moment when he heard the words, then stood up and spoke.

"Shizhai, the drills of the Zhongyong Battalion cannot be abolished. Lord Agui will lead the troops to the south to build the Ganzhou camp. At that time, I will write a letter recommending you to serve under his tent. When the country is in trouble, think of a good general. With the talents of Shizhai, you will surely make great achievements on the battlefield. , to shine on the lintel."

The strong man called Shizhai was named Yang Yuchun.

Wu Juren was born.

Possessing courage and strategy at the same time, his command and training are quite methodical.

Fukang'an was promoted when Gansu quelled the chaos, and then moved to Gansu, Taiwan and other places together.

Now he is the commander-in-chief of the Zhongyong Battalion.

"My lord taught me to keep my humble job in mind, and the training in the Loyalty Camp will never be wasted!"

Yang Yuchun took a deep breath and said.

Fukang'an patted Yang Yuchun on the shoulder and encouraged him again.

So he took a hundred goshhas and rode his horse northward.

"Your name is Yang Fang?"

The former governor's yamen of Guangdong.

It is now the temporary residence of the Ming Palace.

In a temporarily remodeled imperial study of King Ming.

Zhu Daohua sized up the bound young military officer in front of him.

With square ears, broad shoulders and a strong body, he is seven or eight feet tall. He looks like an NBA basketball player.

A pair of iron arms are extremely thick, and the calluses on the fingers of his right hand indicate that he must be a good bow and arrow.

Even if this figure is placed in the 21st century, it is enough to be called "the wonder of the world"

What's more, it was at the end of the Qianlong Dynasty when the common people were generally malnourished.

In fact, Zhu Daohua paid attention to him.

It was because of the battle outside Guangzhou.

This man named Yang Fang from the Guizhou Green Camp of the Qing Army was always alone against several soldiers of the Ming Army, and was finally tied up after being knocked out by a grenade.

Such "warriors in the army" were naturally tied up for King Ming to have a look at.

As a result, when asked about the name, Zhu Daohua felt familiar,

When watching the movie "The Opium War".

Isn't there a Guizhou general named Yang Fang who appeared on the scene.

Moreover, Yang Fang and Yang Yuchun were listed as famous generals in the mid-Qing Dynasty, and they were called "Two Yangs".

Although Boss Zhu didn't quite remember Yang Fang's specific abilities.

But he knew the name.

Met a historical figure.

Boss Zhu is also interested in taking a look.

Under this look.

This young and strong man really caught the attention of Boss Zhu.

this physique.

It is definitely no problem to be a wrestler, or simply play in the CBA.

such a pity.

This era did not allow him the opportunity to make a lot of money.

However, as a military officer, this image is absolutely qualified.

"I'm Yang Fang, Hammer's. You don't have the ability to hurt people with bombs. If you have the ability, let me go. Hands and feet skills or weapon skills, you can choose! You come and I will hit as many as you want!"

As soon as Yang Fang rolled her eyes, she let out a loud cry.

Seeing this, Boss Zhu couldn't help but shook his head and smiled.

"You are a smart person, so don't pretend to be stupid. Let me ask you, do you want to serve me or die for Qianlong."

Yang Fang closed her mouth when she heard the words, and remained silent.

"Forget it, go to the Army and Naval Academy first and learn some skills. In the future, no matter whether you are in the south or the north, you will have the qualifications to get in, right?"

Zhu Daohua waved his hand.

So people took Yang Fang down.

A boy who is only 19 years old.

In the words of later generations.

Belonging to the Three Views has not been fully established.

Boss Zhu can't afford to be as knowledgeable as him.

Yang Fang who was pulled out blinked.

Is this the end?
"Hey, Yang Fang, are you going to the Army and Naval Academy for advanced studies?"

"go with!"

why not?

I, Yang Fang, have learned a lot of skills, so I can serve the king in the future.

As for who is loyal.
Then we will see the situation.

Meeting a famous historical figure is just an episode in Zhu Daohua's busy life these days.

There are so many things to do these days.

Boss Zhu spins nine-nine-six every day.

Even clapping with Shi Xianggu, who was eager to conceive, was a bit slack.

However, as Fukang'an's army withdrew from Guangdong, the northern, eastern, and western Guangdong, as well as the counties under Guangzhou and Huizhou, all hung the sun and moon flags.

This province of Guangdong already belongs to Daming in name—of course it is only in name, because apart from Guangzhou, Zhaoqing, and Shaozhou.

Jiayingzhou and Chaozhou in northeastern and eastern Guangdong, as well as most of Huizhou Prefecture, as well as Luoding Prefecture, Gaozhou Prefecture, Leizhou Prefecture, and Lianzhou Prefecture in western Guangdong were all "liberated" by heroes from the Tiandihui.

Besides.

Qiongzhou Prefecture, which still belongs to Guangdong, is still under the rule of the prefect of Qiongzhou in the Qing Dynasty for the time being because it is separated by a strait, but this Qiongzhou Prefecture cannot receive the assistance of the navy of the Qing Dynasty.

It is only a matter of time before they return to Daming.

As such.

The whole of Guangdong basically belonged to King Ming.

Although only a corner of the world.

But Guangdong as a whole is also a large province with a population of 800 million.

In terms of population, it is only a little less than the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River.

Compared with the northern provinces and southwestern provinces,

Guangdong's population is already quite dense.

Zhu Daohua's new Ming Dynasty is different from those new dynasties in history.

He won Guangdong without many battles, and the population of Guangdong did not suffer any losses.

In history, after repeated wars, the population dropped sharply. By the time the dynasty was established, the land was already sparsely populated. The conflict between people and land was unprecedentedly reduced after the war. When the per capita land decreases and the contradiction between man and land becomes unprecedentedly sharp again, it is time for the dynasty to perish
This is the curse of the cycle of chaos in Chinese history.

But this time, because the Ming army was too powerful.

The two sides did not have the conditions for a tug-of-war that would lead to a large reduction in population-in fact, King Zhu Ming did not want it to be a tug-of-war that consumes the population.

Eliminating the Manchus is just a small goal.

The key is how to use China's population of nearly [-] million at this time to occupy as much territory as possible.

Occupy more living space for future generations of China.

If a Ming and Qing war ends, a large number of people will be lost.

This is really not worth the candle.

Therefore, Boss Zhu did not immediately integrate the halls of heaven and earth in various places, and expanded his army wantonly. He was also worried that the population would decrease sharply after the wars broke out in various places. These populations will be used to fill the colonies in the future.

How can it be wasted in civil war.

"Your Majesty, Governor Luo and his party have arrived."

"Please! Invite Gu Song, Qian Heng, Secretary of the Navy Department Zhang Hong, Minister of the Army Department Zhao Si, Chief Counsel of the General Staff, Mr. Napoleon, etc."

Luo Fangbo, Ye Daoqi, Gu Song, Qian Heng, these are the cobblers around Zhu Daohua.

Now that Zhu Daohua has entered Guangzhou, the status of these cobblers has naturally risen, far exceeding their status in history.

"By the way, invite Zhao Wenwen and Xue Siyuan."

Zhu Daohua thought for a while and added.

Zhao Wenwen and Xue Siyuan were demoted.

And the officials of the Qing Dynasty must also be corrupt.

If Zhu Daohua had an obsession with morality and cleanliness, I'm afraid he wouldn't respond to it.

But Zhu Daohua has reached his current position, thinking about problems is no longer purely based on morality and character.

He needs to allow himself to think more politically.

The landlords, scholar-bureaucrats, and literati class in the entire Han area were basically serving as officials for the Qing Dynasty.

Can I exclude such a huge class that controls most of the Han land from the regime?

Not to mention that the vast majority of cultural people in China today belong to this class.

Let's just talk about their numbers and the resources they have.

If not handled well.

That is to create a very troublesome enemy for yourself.

in contrast.

If this class can be guided to a certain extent.

They are very likely to become a positive force to promote the industrialization of the whole of China. In fact, the developed economies of later generations, except for those colonial countries that have experienced the colonial era, are basically Confucian culture. Circled country or region.

This fully demonstrates that in fact Confucian culture can be transformed to adapt to the underlying culture of industrialization.

Moreover, Zhu Daohua also carefully studied the development of Confucian culture during this period-this is something that is constantly changing according to the requirements of the king.

Let Confucius look at the current Qing Confucianism, nothing else, just see the braids on the back of these people's heads, Confucius wants you to hear the Tao in the morning, and you will die in the evening-see it in the morning, and let you in the evening Death is considered kindness of Confucius.

The emperor mastered the imperial examinations, and Confucian scholars would learn whatever was required for the imperial examinations—this kind of system was simply endless for the emperor.

Isn't it easy for Boss Zhu to mix hundreds of millions of private goods in the imperial examinations?

Therefore, it is impossible for Zhu Daohua to reject these surrenders of the Qing Dynasty.

They will definitely have a place in the new Ming Dynasty in the future.

"There are also Wu Dunyuan, Lu Jiguang, Pan Shaoguang and others from the Thirteen Lines, Wu Bingdao from the Gaoyao Wu family, Chen Zhengen from the Chen family from Sanshui, and Ye Wenkun from the Xiangshan Ye family."

The civil and military officials of the Ming Palace, the representatives of the officials of the Qing Dynasty who surrendered, the representatives of the merchants, and the first three families of Guangdong clans who defected to the Ming Dynasty are all in one place.

This closed-door meeting is naturally to determine many matters in Guangdong in the future.

After the arrival of Luo Fangbo and his party from Lanfang and Governor Qian Heng from the Straits Governor's Mansion.

Military adviser Gu Song began to briefly introduce the current situation in Guangdong.

"Everyone, except for Qiongzhou Mansion, the Sun and Moon flags have been hung in Guangdong Province, but only the three prefectures of Guangzhou Mansion, Zhaoqing Mansion, and Shaozhou Mansion are directly controlled by the Mansion of Prince Ming. The rest of the counties are from all over the world. The righteous people expelled the local bureaucrats, occupied the county seat, and declared their attachment."

"That's a problem."

Zhu Daohua said with his forehead.

"That's right, now the Qing government can't produce many capable soldiers in the south, unless they have a way to mobilize the elite of the northern green battalion and the elite of the Eight Banners to go south in a short period of time. But at this distance, the army will not go south. It is impossible to catch up with a year and a half."

Since ancient times, it has not been easy to transfer troops from the north to the south.

Especially large-scale transfers.

First of all, logistics supply is a big problem.

The Qing army was able to complete assembly, mobilization, training, and then go into battle within a year.

It is already a very optimistic estimate.

"If our army has no plan to go north for the time being, then the volunteer soldiers entrenched in dozens of counties in the northeast, east, and west of Guangdong must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise the Guangdong area will be poisoned by them sooner or later. Easy, the total number of these people adds up to 30 to [-], if all of them are reaped from the regular army, the military pay alone will cost millions of Ming Yuan a month, and we don't have so much money to spend on them now!"

This is what Gu Song is most worried about.

The current situation is pretty good, basically there is no large-scale opposition to Ming Dynasty in Guangdong.

The most troublesome thing now is the volunteer soldiers gathered at the halls of Tiandihui, which claims to have 30 to [-] people.

Boss Zhu is of course very rich.

But there are not many enough to support so many underworld armed forces.

And now that Guangdong is tentatively set, there are too many places to spend money.

If all the money is used to feed these gangsters, it will really not be worth the candle.

But how to solve these underworld armed forces is also a big problem. On the one hand, they are under the banner of Ming Dynasty, and on the other hand, these underworld armed forces must not have many military-level constraints. incident of looting.

"How much do you spend a month now? How much money do you need to spend to settle the ghosts and monsters in these places?"

When Gu Song heard this, he wracked his fingers and began to calculate: "The agricultural tax will be exempted this year and next year, and the current income is mainly from the boat tax in Batam Island and the confiscation of the lands of corrupt officials, local tyrants and evil gentry. Fang province’s agricultural tax, mining tax, and the tribute income of the Southeast Asian countries have a monthly income of more than 130 million Ming Yuan, and expenses are at least more than 150 million. The main reason is that the cost of fighting is too high, and the salaries of officials Wait, now it’s time to issue national debt in Batam.”

This rebellion is indeed a waste of money.

Now there are only three brigades of the army under his command, including the militia-like guards in Lanfang, there are no more than 3 people in total.

As for the navy, there are three major fleets: the Northern Expedition Fleet, the Straits Fleet, and the Nanyang Fleet, with a total number of about tens of thousands.

The expenses of the [-] army will eat up almost half of the income.

Fortunately, HSBC defrauded deposits of tens of millions of taels of silver, otherwise this counterfactual would really be unbearable.
