Chapter 274 Let the foreign devils wait, this military governor is fighting Su Sanniang! (Please order, please vote)
Prince Wu's Mansion.
"Your Majesty, please stay for two more days."
While Su Sanniang made her request, she sent her mature and voluptuous body and the most abundant fruits to the "clutch" of the devil Luo Yaoguo.
Luo Yaoguo's big hands stroked her slender body and round curves, and he suddenly had the thought of "I am happy here and don't miss Shanghai."
"Then stay a few more days. There's nothing important in Shanghai anyway."
At this moment, Luo Yaoguo didn't know that his "doppelgänger" in the Qing Dynasty had been promoted again, and that Cixi planned to give him her twelve-year-old girl as his wife. There were also three envoys from the great powers waiting for him to betray the Qing Dynasty.
But even if he knew it, he had no way to refuse Su Sanniang now.
With a sweet cry, Luo Yaoguo, who had been recuperating all night, pounced on the unprepared Su Sanniang like a hungry tiger. Facing the rough and menacing Luo Yaoguo, Su Sanniang was not afraid at all and let herself go His hands were clasped and pulled up by the opponent, and his chest and abdomen were completely exposed. Seeing that his "sneak attack" was successful, Luo Yaoguo immediately said with joy: "Haha, Su Nuxia, I caught you again, surrender!"
Su Sanniang cast an unyielding look, shook her chest, and snorted: "I would rather die than surrender!"
Facing Su Sanniang's unyielding and provocation, Luo Yaoguo was instantly full of fighting spirit and high morale!
After conquering Su Nuxia again, Luo Yaoguo, accompanied by Su Nuxia, who had just surrendered, arrived at the second hall of the palace, preparing to discuss important issues such as military reform and land reform with his men.
The top priority of Luo Yaoguo and Su Sanniang's current work is to complete the military reform while expanding and consolidating the base area in southern Jiangsu, and reorganizing the Taiping Rebellion's First, Second and Third Armies into divisions of the new army.
Everything comes from the barrel of a gun!
Without a strong Taiping New Army that obeys orders, everything is just a fantasy.
The divisions of the Taiping New Army are of course modeled on the under-staffed division of the Shanghai New Army. They will adopt a seven-level organization system of division, brigade, regiment, battalion, company, platoon, and squad, and will also be synthesized at the division level. Infantry, artillery, cavalry, baggage, labor and other types of arms.
A division is composed of a full strength of 12,000 men. The division headquarters has one regiment each for artillery, cavalry, carriages, and engineers. The infantry is composed of one division with two brigades, one brigade with two regiments, one regiment with four battalions, and one battalion with four companies. It is organized according to the standards of four platoons in a company and four squads in a platoon. In addition, there are corresponding direct teams at the brigade, regiment, battalion and company levels.
If the 123rd Division of the Shanghai Army and the Shanghai New Army Division are fully staffed, then the field troops in Luo Yaoguo's hands will expand to four divisions with approximately 48,000 men.
In addition, Luo Yaoguo would also set up the General's Office under King Wu's Mansion in Kunshan to be in charge of military affairs, the Westernization Military Advisor's Office to be in charge of diplomacy, and the Shangshu's Mansion to be in charge of the administration of the area. He would also set up the Jiangnan branch of the God Worship Association in Kunshan to be in charge of Su Songtai and the God Worshipers in various parts of Zhejiang. meeting affairs.
Among them, Luo Yaoguo himself served as the chief general of the general's office and the military adviser of the military adviser's office. Su Sanniang, in the name of the general organization of the military, took charge of the general's office when Luo Yaoguo left Kunshan.
As for the daily routine of the Westernization Military Advisor's Office, Luo Yaoguo is preparing to hand it over to Wu Ruxiao, who is still in Shanghai.
The daily work of the Shangshu Mansion will be handled by Zeng Tianyang, Shangshu of the Household Department of Prince Wu. In addition to the Household Department, there are also the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Punishments under the Prince Wu House. Among them, the Ministry of Rites is placed on the Tianjing side.
In fact, it was an "Office in Beijing". The Ministry of Civil Affairs was concurrently held by the person in charge of the Jiangnan Branch of the God Worshiping Society, the Minister of War was Su Sanniang, and the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Punishment were held by Zeng Shuiyuan and Zhang Sanxiang respectively.
The current main job of the Jiangnan Branch of the God Worshiping Association is of course to lead the division of land, which is the second most important task after military reform!
Chen Ji, Ma Baocai, and Zhang Baocai, who were born in the Twelve Apostles, formed a "three-person group" and were responsible for the daily life of the Jiangnan branch of the God Worship Association. Among these three people, Chen Ji and Ma Baocai performed well in the land allocation movement in Hunan.
, also presided over the division of fields in Zeng Guofan's hometown.
Because of his young age, Zhang Bao has been studying with Luo Yaoguo for a long time. Now he happens to be traveling between Shanghai and Kunshan, serving as Luo Yaoguo's "mouthpiece".
Currently, there are eight counties under the jurisdiction of Prince Wu's Mansion of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom: Kunshan, Jiangyin, Changshu, Zhaowen, Zhenyang, Qingpu, Huating, and Lou County, plus half of Jiading, most of Changzhou, Yuanhe, and Wujiang.
These are the most elite areas in China!
Of course the land in these areas must be divided, and the gentry and landlords must of course be attacked. Without dividing the land, and without attacking the gentry, the Taiping Wu Prince's government cannot stand firm in this area.
But it cannot be as violent as in Hunan, because the area around Shanghai has benefited from the opening of Shanghai, and its economy has been growing in the past ten years.
Unlike other parts of the country, the landowners and farmers in this area have not become poorer. Even the poor farmers who cannot make a living in their hometown can still go to Shanghai to make a living. And the landowners who are engaged in the trading of raw silk and tea in large numbers are even more so.
Su Songtai has accumulated huge wealth in the past ten years. Originally, most of the profits from the export of raw silk from Jiangnan were eaten by a lot of middlemen along the route from Jiangnan to Guangdong. Now the export port is at the doorstep of Su Songtai, who has planted large mulberry forests at home.
Landlords in other places can make a lot of money.
For Luo Yaoguo, the capital in their hands is necessary for Shanghai to grow into the largest metropolis in the Far East! If these people can send their spare money and family members to Shanghai, buy real estate in Shanghai and deposit it in the bank, then the real estate in Shanghai,
Finance is on the rise.
Real estate can make money quickly!
The modern financial industry can provide sufficient and cheap capital for industrialization!
And their mulberry orchards continue to provide financial revenue for the Jiangguan Customs Yamen and Prince Wu's Mansion, and are the basis for the first industrialization in the Susongtai area in the future.
According to the general laws of industrialization development in history, light industry, especially the textile industry, has always been the first sector to start industrialization. At least in the middle of the 19th century, it was almost impossible to implement industrialization in one step and prioritize the development of heavy industry.
The advantage of the Susongtai area centered on Shanghai in developing industrialization, apart from the sufficient and cheap labor force and Shanghai as an international port, is the silk industry. Mulberry farming, sericulture, silk reeling, silk weaving, printing and dyeing, and garments.
If this industrial chain is developed, the foundation of the machine industry will be established, the capital transferred from the countryside of southern Jiangsu will have a place to go, and the abundant labor force will have a way out.
Therefore, the land distribution carried out by Luo Yaoguo in Hunan was mainly "destructive" and focused on "eating" - people had to eat!
The land policy he plans to implement in southern Jiangsu is "constructive". He will scare the landlords into Shanghai, then divide the land for growing grain and vegetables, and retain the high-value mulberry orchards. It is best to organize them. This is his goal.
The difficulty is indeed high. It is impossible for Luo Yaoguo alone to handle it, but with Luo Xueyan's help, it will be no problem.
As for the lecturer group of the God Worshiping Association, it will be located in Prince Wu's Mansion in Nanjing. Wang Yan, the eldest disciple of Luo Yaoguo and the Minister of Rites of Prince Wu's Mansion, will lead the relatively unknown among the twelve disciples Wang Ziru, Chang Shuangqing, Wu Sanhao and other three people to take charge of daily life. Affairs - these three people have been serving as lecturers in Xiao Chaogui's army and are relatively familiar with Hong Xuanjiao.
Now, in addition to managing the business of the lecturer group with Wang Yan, the three of them also opened a "Tiao Da Theological School" under the guidance of Hong Xuanjiao, recruiting a group of "little brothers" from Guangdong and Guangxi to follow God The sixth daughter of the family is learning to dance the Great God.
In addition, Luo Yaoguo and Hong Xuanjiao also wrote to Feng Yunshan, another missionary expert in the God-Worship Society, requesting Feng Yunshan to set up a similar "Tiao Da Theological Hall" in Hengzhou Prefecture, and also asked Feng Yunshan to send Luo Youyun to Kunshan.
Luo Yaoguo hoped that this important minister of the Kingdom of Heaven, the elder of the Tiandihui, and the Hakka leader who was also related to the Lanfang Luo family could serve as the Consul General of the Taiping Rebellion in Singapore.
The secret hall of the God Worship Association will be moved to Shanghai, and Xu Yuegui, the general manager of Yuyuan Garden, will be in charge of daily work. The current focus of the secret hall is no longer to spy on the movements of the Qing army in the south of the Yangtze River - the Shanghai Governor's Yamen is in Yuyuan, and there is no need to use it at all. No need to spy!
The main task of the secret hall now is to infiltrate the Cao gang that "depends on the food and clothing of millions of Cao workers" and arrange for Hunan Tiandihui members who have taken refuge in Luo Yaoguo to enter Shanghai. The cake in Shanghai will definitely get bigger and bigger in the future, and Luo Yaoguo must of course let himself People are a little full.
Therefore, after Luo Yaoguo planned to stay in Kunshan for a while, he asked Zhou Xiuying to return to Shanghai first, and at the same time asked her to send a message to Xu Yuegui, ordering her to come to Kunshan for a meeting immediately.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiuying left in the morning and Xu Yuegui arrived in the afternoon!
"Sister Yuegui, why did you come so fast?" Luo Yaoguo, who had just finished presiding over the military reform meeting, returned to his office and saw Xu Yuegui who had been waiting there for a long time.
Xu Yuegui quickly bowed to Luo Yaoguo, and then said quickly and quickly: "Your Majesty, Qingyao Xianyaotou has promoted you again. You are now the Governor of Shanghai and the Minister of Commerce of the Five Countries!"
"What? I am the Minister of Commerce and Industry of the Five Countries?" Luo Yaoguo was stunned, "Then I also have to take care of Qingyao's foreign affairs?"
Xu Yuegui nodded: "Yes, Wenxian, who has just returned to Shanghai, and American Minister Marsali, and French Minister Bourblon are sending people everywhere to look for you. They want to discuss with you the revision of the Treaty of Nanjing!" Wu Jianzhang, Wu Ruxiao can't handle it anymore, please go back to Shanghai as soon as possible!"
Luo Yaoguo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but after thinking for a moment, he waved his hand and said: "Don't be in a hurry about betraying the Qing Dynasty. Yue Gui, please do some hard work. Go back to Shanghai and talk to Wu Jianzhang, Wu Ruxiao and the others about me." At this time, Su Sanniang Just as she walked in, Luo Yaoguo pointed at her and said, "Just tell me that my army commander is fighting the long-haired female bandit leader Su Sanniang outside Kunshan City, and let the foreign devils wait first!"
Chapter completed!
