Chapter 353 How could the Eight Banners soldiers be spared? (Please vote, please order)
"Xue Shuai, do you want to be the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang? This is not easy to handle. Yuan Ronglu is not very old now, not even twenty yet, but he comes from a noble family and has been immersed in official circles since he was a child.
All I witnessed were people buying and running for office. This time it was again
Although he was sent by Xianfeng to deliver a letter to Shanghai for Concubine Yi, he is now playing a close relative of Concubine Yi's natal family. Now that I heard that Luo Xueyan wanted to campaign for the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, he immediately looked mysterious and mysterious, as if he was trying to find a way.
Very thick looking.
Of course, his path is quite rough. In fact, the person who sells official titles behind him is Emperor Xianfeng himself! But this relationship cannot be broken, and this matter must be done in the name of Concubine Yi.
Anyway, when asked about this matter, it was that Concubine Yi took money from her brother-in-law Luo Xueyan to spread the word!
Luo Xueyan also knew that Xianfeng and Weng Tong were behind Ronglu, so how could he still know?
But he didn't ask, he just pretended to be confused. After listening to Rong Lu's words, he immediately took out a bulging envelope, placed it on the coffee table between the two of them, and pushed it gently: "Zhong Hua, it's just a small thing...\
n.:.\n.This has nothing to do with me buying the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. It’s just to thank you for helping Concubine Yi send me a letter. Isn’t this a difficult journey?”
Ronglu was not polite, he smiled and put away the envelope without opening it, just stuffed it into his sleeve pocket, and then fisted: "Thank you!"
Then Luo Xueyan magically took out an even more bulging envelope, put it on the coffee table, and pushed it gently: "This is for Concubine Yi... It's for Wanzhen's marriage.
.I heard that Wanzhen is one of the top beauties in Sijiu City!"
"That's right!" Rong Lu said, "I'm not bragging for Miss Wanzhen. If she is in the draft, at least she will be the prince's Fujin!"
Luo Xueyan raised a thumb and said, "You are right! So I have to thank Concubine Yi very much...\n...\n. The first 30,000 yuan of HSBC bank notes here are thirty in total, one thousand taels each.
, give it to the imperial concubine as a reward.
By the way, HSBC is about to open a branch in Tianjin. In the future, if Concubine Yi needs money, she will have someone go to HSBC to inform her...\n...\n. I am the major shareholder of HSBC.
Huifeng Bank is Wanzhen's business. I know that Concubine Yi's natal family is not very prosperous, so I will ask her to treat me and Wanzhen as her natal family in the future."
Of course HSBC wants to go big!
This bank is endorsed by the Nanyang Minister's Yamen, the Shanghai Governor's Yamen, Jiangsu Customs, and Zhejiang Customs. It also has a lot of foreign shares. It is also a "transnational" bank. It has opened branches in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Qing Dynasty, and will also open branches in the future.
Branches were opened in Japan, Korea, Ryukyu, and the Straits Settlements.
Of course it is also necessary to open a branch in Tianjin or even Beijing!
Otherwise, if something goes wrong, where will the money of the high-ranking officials in the capital go?
Ronglu smiled and put away the envelope containing thirty thousand taels of silver, and said with a smile: "Xue Shuai, Concubine Yi is the eldest brother's biological mother, and she might be..."
I can't say this anymore, otherwise I will say nothing about Xianfeng.
However, Luo Xueyan was also an understanding person, and he immediately touched his beard and laughed: "That's great, I will be a relative of the emperor from now on!"
Ronglu smiled and said, "You are more than just a relative of the emperor. If you become the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, you might have a future as king of Wuyue!"
"," Luo Xueyan waved his hand, "Why is it King Wu Yue? It should be Taiwei Zhang, King Wu of the Yuan Dynasty!"
The Great Yuan Wu King he was talking about was Zhang Shicheng!
Ronglu frowned slightly, Luo Xueyan is Zhang Shicheng, then who is Zhu Yuanzhang? Who is the Yuan Dynasty? This metaphor is not appropriate!
Luo Xueyan's face froze, and he tapped his fingers on the table: "Zhong Hua, I won't say anything secretly in front of you, even though you are a man of knowledge. Today's Changmao has already shown signs of Zhu Hongwu sweeping the southeast!"
"Isn't that true?" Ronglu frowned and said, "When I came to Shanghai, I passed by the territory of Changmao. I felt...\n... the territory of Changmao's pseudo-king of the east, pseudo-king of Wu, and pseudo-king of heaven is like
The laws of each of the Three Kingdoms are very different! Moreover, even the people in King Wu's territory, which seems to be in the best condition, are fleeing one after another, all running to Xueshuai's Shanghai. Do you think they can last like this? "
Luo Xueyan smiled bitterly: "The gentry and landlords from Suzhou, Changzhou, Huzhou, Jiaxing and other places are running to Shanghai...:::. They all come with money, so the market in Shanghai is so prosperous. But their industries
All stay
In the local area...:.\n. This is a great opportunity for the local poor farmers and the gentry and businessmen who have taken refuge in Luo Yaoguo. Once the shuffling is completed, these wealthy places will become rich money.
Bags, rice jars!
As for some poor people who went to Shanghai, it was just because of the high wages in Shanghai or they took a boat from Shanghai to San Francisco in the United States, the New Gold Mountains in Australia to pan for gold, or to go to Southeast Asia to explore the world.
Zhonghua, you don’t think there is a lack of population in Changmao’s territory, do you?”
Ronglu shook his head.
The most indispensable thing in China today is population! The territory controlled by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has a huge population. If tens of millions are really needed, everyone might have food to eat!
"Zhonghua," Luo Xueyan said, "when you visited Changmao's territory, did you feel that the order there could still be maintained?
Production is going on as usual, and the security situation is even good?"
"This..." Ronglu thought carefully and nodded slightly.
Luo Xueyan smiled bitterly and said: "When Changmao Cao was founded, it was already much better than Li Chuang to have such a structure! Until Li Chuang's defeat, he didn't have a base that could be managed well and could collect a lot of money and food.
And how does Changmao manage Yangzhou, Changzhou, Suzhou, Huzhou, and Jiaxing now? In time...\n.\n:.\n. Maybe it will become the second Hongwu. The court must prepare early.
!」
Ronglu frowned.
If Changmao is similar to Hongwu, wouldn't the Qing Dynasty really become the Yuan Dynasty?
Luo Xueyan said sternly: "Zhonghua, to prepare for the Changmao Northern Expedition, we naturally need money...\n...\n. Luo happened to have some spare money in his hands, so he wanted to be the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang.
Think of it as a favor to the emperor.
At the same time, it can also connect my Nanyang New Army's first town and Zuo Jigao's Nanyang New Army's first town into one, giving me a little more space to move around.
You may not think that Shanghai is now securely guarded, but this is only because the puppet Wu Prince's Mansion is busy suppressing the territories of Su, Chang, Hu, and Jia. While dividing the fields, they are also winning over scholars...\n.
\n.\n.\n.I heard that there will be courses to obtain a bachelor's degree this fall!
Once they finish their work and gather all the strength of the four governments, the situation here in Shanghai will be very difficult! If I can become the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and Zuo Jigao can become the governor of Zhejiang, there will always be more ways."
Ronglu said: "Xue Shuai's intention, I will definitely ask someone to tell Concubine Yi."
Luo Xueyan added: "But it is extremely inappropriate to invite the Eight Banners soldiers to go south as mentioned above!"
"Xue Shuai, don't worry, the Eight Banners soldiers will not really go south to cause trouble for you." Ronglu explained with a smile, "The emperor means...
"I understand," Luo Xueyan said, "Weng Shengfu has told me that the emperor is kind-hearted and no longer wants ordinary Eight Banners disciples to go to the battlefield and die.
But Zhonghua, do you think that in the troubled times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty could really get rid of those useless Mongols and rely only on the troops of Richard Khan, Wang Baobao, Li Siqi, and Zhang Liangbi? Moreover, Richard Khan, Wang Baobao and others
There are also many Mongolian soldiers and generals, right? Otherwise, when the dust settles, why don't Wang Baobao's men defect to Zhu Yuanzhang? Even without the title of marquis, a hereditary commander is very popular!"
this.::
Ronglu's face condensed.
Luo Xueyan said lightly: "Zhonghua, I will still follow the emperor's wishes for this question book, but at the same time I will also write a note suggesting that the emperor train the new Eight Banners Army. Could you please help me take it to Beijing. The emperor's retreat
The second step should not be to cut down the hard-core crops, but to let all the Eight Banners disciples in the capital carry guns and serve as soldiers."
He suddenly lowered his voice again: "I know that the emperor has ordered Seng Gelinqin to train the new army in Wanping for more than half a year, and also bought many foreign guns and cannons to equip the new army. But...\n
.\n.I seem to have heard that the Horqin Mongols are not descendants of the Eight Banners, right? Zhonghua, what I heard is correct, right?"
"No, that's right..\n.:.:" Ronglu nodded, his brows already twisted into a ball, "They belong to Mongolia, a foreign vassal, and they are indeed not affiliated with the Eight Banners. Only some princes of Zhasak were carried into the banner.
The nationality may be regarded as being in the flag."
Luo Xueyan said leisurely: "I think back when the Great Yuan Dynasty was over, the ancestors of Horqin Mongolia didn't seem to do much to defend the Great Yuan Dynasty, right? That was the Great Yuan Dynasty of their Mongols!"
Ronglu said nothing.
Luo Xueyan's words... are a bit of an eyesore for Seng Gelinqin, and also mean to drive a wedge between the Qing court and Horqin Mongolia! When it comes to sowing discord, Luo Xueyan is in the same vein as Luo Yaoguo! Luo Yaoguo
At that time, three volumes of "Anti-Jing" were used to confuse people's hearts. Now Luo Xueyan can also tell Seng Gelinqin to have a good meal by saying "Please train the new Eight Banners Army", and by the way, he can send those useless Eight Banners soldiers to the battlefield.
Line up and shoot!
How could he let go of the Eight Banners soldiers?
However, Luo Xueyan is about to marry Concubine Yi's sister Wan Zhen. He is the uncle of the next emperor of the Qing Dynasty, a serious relative of the emperor! It seems to remind the emperor and Concubine Yi that they need to use the Eight Banners Soldiers to control Wanping's new power.
