Chapter 13
In the past few days, Hong Chengchou has been in a good mood. The anti-Qing movement in the south of the Yangtze River can be described as one after another!
Especially Su Song's admiral Wu Shengzhao rebelled and almost caused a catastrophe. Fortunately, the eyeliner he planted sent news in time, not only killed Wu Shengzhao, but also captured Chen Zilong, Xia Wanchun and his gang.It's a pity that the Ming bandits who came to Zhoushan to meet them did not go ashore due to the storm, so they could not expand their results.

However, Dorgon's "hair shaving order" is really a stupid move, even if it is done two years later, the world will be settled at that time, and the impact will be limited.There is a saying: It is easy to go to the mountain, but it is difficult to go to the heart. The impact of the "hair shaving order" troubled Hong Chengchou for a long time.

But now it's better, Qian Mo set up a "world bureau", originally he just wanted to win this "world bureau" to announce to the world that the general trend is in the Qing, not the Ming.In addition, Xia Wanchun and Qian Mo shaved their hair and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, which further damaged the morale of the Southern Ming Dynasty against the Qing Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, this Qian Mo was born out of nowhere and published a "On China".

When Qian Mo said that as long as he let Xia Wanchun go, he could clean up the traitors all over the world, he didn't really believe it, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good now!
In the past few days, according to the betting clues, he followed the clues and found out many bright rebels. It seems that this Qian Mo is really his lucky star.

It's just that my Qing Dynasty has always only paid attention to recruiting warriors who hold military power, and I don't hesitate to treat them with high officials and generous salaries.For civil servants who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, they were not so generous, and they usually returned to their original posts.Qian Qianyi's contribution to Nanjing was only given to a minister of the Ministry of Rites. He was so angry that he resigned from office and returned to his hometown soon, and now he is even suspected of secretly collaborating with bandits.

Fortunately, I have both civil and military skills, and the ability to lead the army and govern the government. Although there are constraints within the court, the Qing Dynasty still relies heavily on itself.

It's just that the 500 million taels of silver need to be sent to the capital as soon as possible, otherwise things might change!
Reported to Governor Hong: "Ma Guozhu, Governor of Liangjiang and Henan, please see me!"

Ma Guozhu's Han army is Zhengbai Banner, and he has just been appointed as the governor of the three provinces of Jiangnan (now Anhui and Jiangsu), Jiangxi and Henan.He became the first governor after the Qing Dynasty occupied the Liangjiang area.

He was extremely unhappy with the appointment of Hong Chengchou by the Qing court. He was recruiting the governor of the South with a Bachelor of Military Affairs, and theoretically the whole South could control himself.The appointment of this Ma Guozhu by the imperial court is obviously because the Manchu master can't trust him, so he sent someone to distribute power.

I'm really afraid of what to do, needless to say, Ma Guozhu must have come to grab the 500W taels of silver.

Hong Chengchou said with a smile: "Governor Ma, don't come here without any problems!"

Ma Guozhu: "Master Hong is really a big hand. The "world situation" in the Qinhuai River is actually a situation where my Qing Dynasty ruled the world. If it continues like this, Jiangnan will be pacified in a few days!"

"Right now, in our Jiangnan and Jiangxi provinces, there are bandits and bandits everywhere. Although they are barely suppressed, there is not enough food and pay, and there is an urgent need to appease the morale of the army. Your lord's plan for this 500 taels is really timely!"

Hong Chengchou thought to himself: Sure enough, he is here to grab the money, how can the old man take advantage of you.

So he asked: "I don't know, is it ready to go to the Beijing Bank?"

Qian Mo: "My teacher, the 500W taels of silver have already been checked into the official treasury, but the amount is huge, and the boats and civilians needed on the way are still in preparation. I believe they will be sent to the capital in a few days and dedicated to the emperor."

Hong Chengchou spread his hands helplessly, and said: "Governor Ma, you see, the 500 taels of silver, my apprentice, is going to be dedicated to the emperor. This governor has already told the emperor. If you want to use it for other purposes, I am afraid that you will have to ask another person to give it to you." Holy decree."

"To tell you the truth, Lord Hong, there have been frequent riots in various places recently. The imperial court has used troops, and the military pay and rewards have been insufficient, which has caused a lot of dissatisfaction. If they find out about the 500 taels of silver donation this time, they will definitely press for the payment. If the imperial court He didn’t express any fear that something serious would happen.”

Qian Mo thought to himself: This Ma Guozhu really has two brushes. Historically, in the first lunar month of next year, Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren will do whatever they want and almost take back the entire territory of Jiangxi in one fell swoop, thus setting off the first climax of the Nanming anti-Qing.

It is only 2 months from now, and I announced in a high-profile way to donate 500W taels, and I want to send this money to the capital, just to aggravate the dissatisfaction of these people, dig a hole for you, how can it be used to send money for you? rate!
So Qian Mo said: "Your Majesty, you are just joking. These two rivers are places of wealth and food, and half of the taxation is in the world. You only need to collect this year's autumn tax a little in advance, and it is easy to raise soldiers. The court also knows that Jiangnan is very expensive now. , With Xiaomin’s donation of 500 million taels, more taxes will be left in Liangjiang.”

Qian Mo secretly smiled: You are the governor of Liangjiang, guarding the richest place in the world, and I am crying for being poor. Hurry up and collect taxes, and force the people of these two rivers, so that the fire in Jiangxi will burn even more next year anyway!
Ma Guozhu knew that although Qian Mo said this, it was Hong Chengchou's meaning.After all, it is a great contribution to dedicate this money to Beijing, and staying in Nanjing is to make a wedding dress for myself, so I can only give up.So he said: "What the little brother said is true, so the only way to do this is to strictly order all states and counties to pay this year's tax as soon as possible to tide over the current crisis. I believe that the imperial court will be sympathetic in the future."

After seeing off Ma Guozhu, Qian Mo said: "The imperial court has now appointed Ma Guozhu as the governor of the two rivers and the south of the Yangtze River. They are still afraid that the teacher's power will be too heavy. I can't believe that I will wait for the Han people to surrender!"

Hong Chengchou said: "If you don't know how to rest assured, this is the emperor's mind. It is true that being a teacher has too much power at the moment, and it is easy to attract people's hatred. The court acted like this to protect the old man!"

"I don't know that you have been in the limelight recently. You are too sharp. There is a Tao that is as good as a tree, and the wind will destroy it. Not to mention how many discussions your "China Theory" will cause, just because you passed the "Tianxia Theory" I don’t know how many people you have offended with the 500W taels you earned. Fortunately, you still know how to advance and retreat, and donated the money to the court in public. This is also the reason why the teacher didn’t grant you an official position immediately. This time you will personally escort When this money goes to Beijing, the teacher will naturally ask for credit for you!"
