It was already sweltering in Yumian Building after nightfall. Pang Yu, who was wearing a Marine Corps jacket and shorts, leaned against the fence and waved a cattail leaf fan vigorously. The wind blowing from the fan was still a heat wave. Pang Yu suspected that the heat dissipated was still there.
It's better to shake a fan to produce
Yes, so I fanned the fan more and more, which made me feel a little irritated. The lights on the Qinhuai River outside the building were winding, and it was a prosperous scene. This section of the Qinhuai River is not wide, but under the light, you can see clearly. The boat passing by
At this time, the woman on the side of the boat gently waved her fan and looked towards the shore.
, when some women saw Pang Yu, they covered their mouths with fans and chuckled.
"Being handsome is also a trouble. You are too eye-catching." Pang Yu sighed helplessly, turned back to his seat, and looked up at Jiang Fandao opposite, "Fang Kongzhen agreed, and with the navy stationed,
Caobang will be easy to handle. There are three ports below Wuchang, plus Jiujiang, that’s four. I can’t
But we need the river, and we also need docks. These ports must be controlled within a month."
"It shouldn't be difficult for Huguang No. 3 to seize the wharf. It's just a matter of Yahang and the local government. In one month, I'm afraid..."
Pang Yu interrupted calmly, "Within a month." Jiang Fan immediately stopped. Pang Yu stared at the table and paused for a moment. "Those who are doing business on the river have some background. If they suddenly start clearing the river on weekdays, they will be easily accused to the censor."
There, when the Jian slaves invaded, the court would only confine them
This is a good opportunity to pay attention to the border wall. At that time, the Anqing Navy was in Qingjiang and the Cao Gang controlled the dock trade, so no one paid attention to it. Jianu would enter the border within two months at most, so you only have one month."
"My subordinates understand." Jiang Fan looked at Pang Yu and said, "Fang Junmen agreed so simply, but he has other plans?" "Fang Kongzheng designated four places to train rural soldiers, Jingmen Mansion, Macheng, Qishui, Suizhou, and more
I have maintained at least a thousand soldiers and horses in Gucheng, but I had no intention of giving up in Gucheng, so I agreed, and he also mentioned something." Pang Yu thought about it, "After Zhang Xianzhong returned,
Before the rebellion, Fang Kongzhen wanted me to join him in the siege of Yinghuoshan. When I thought about it carefully, he was right. In terms of the Central Plains, Xiangyang and Nanyang were the hub, but in terms of the three provinces, Yingshan and Huoshan were actually rogue bandits.
In the place of turnover, once officers and soldiers pursue them, they will quickly flee into the mountains to avoid them. They will disappear for hundreds of miles. There are thousands of exits. You will not know where they came from before leaving the mountain. If you can effectively control
In Yingshan and Huoshan, the rogue bandits have no shelter and a place to turn around, which is of great help in curbing their flow."
"Macheng, Qishui, and Suizhou are all located along the mountains. It can be seen from the place where Fang Junmen trains rural soldiers that he must guard against Yingshan."
"I heard that he has studied the nine-sided victory carefully. It seems that he really understands military affairs better than other civil servants."
"It's just that, sir, you need to train an extra army for use in the mountains." Pang Yu said with certainty, "As long as it is necessary, one more will be one more. As long as the Yinghuo Mountain Area is controlled, not only Anqing will be stable, but Huguang will also be stable."
It can also stabilize the river. Why do we need to control the river? The most important trade downstream from Wuchang is grain. Huguang and Jiangxi are the main grain-producing areas. If the grain-producing areas are destroyed, the trade volume will drop significantly, so Huguang is what I must protect.
Since Fang Kongzhen proposed it, I naturally have no reason to refuse. Now Fang Kongzhen
If you ask me to camp in Anqing, the Caobang can act boldly in Huguang. The first priority is on the river, which is our foundation, followed by Xiying, and then the capital."
Speaking of this, Pang Yu paused and asked, "When I went to the capital, you met Feng Quan and Dong Xinkui. Needless to say, Feng Quan, is Dong Xinkui useful?" "Yes, although this person is white, he is in the official circles of the capital.
He has extensive contacts and is well-informed, and has a good reputation among the officials in the capital. He treats people with dignity and courtesy, regardless of whether he gains or loses power. The property of those who gain power will be handed over to him, and he will send it back to his hometown to avoid being noticed by others. He will not lose anything on the way.
For compensation, Dong Xinkui also gave away money to those who were dismissed from office. This has been the case for more than ten years. Therefore, everyone in the capital trusted him and trusted him to transport money and jewelry. Dong Xinkui learned about Dajiang Bank from Jiangnan Times and was willing to cooperate with you.
Because Dajiang Bank already has five branches, I told him that it would be available all along the river immediately. As long as Dong Xinkui deposits his silver in the capital, he can avoid the risk of long-distance transportation of silver.
The capital official can be found everywhere in the south, so he can get convenience, the official can get interest, and we can save more money. The lower official thinks that Dong Xinkui can help the bank, which is the best choice."
Pang Yu nodded. Although he had never met Dong Xinkui, he had heard about it many times. Even a military attaché in southern Zhili could hear about him, which already explained his status in the capital. "It has been like this for more than ten years.
, this is called credit. If Dong Xinkui wants a commission, we will agree to give him a commission if he deposits a sum of money through him. If he wants to jointly open a bank in the capital, that is fine. You will no longer care about this matter. Liu Ruogu will send someone to talk to him.
, Feng Quan's side is the road to the palace, and the same is true. The capital is where money and power gather. Money transactions are frequent, and banknotes, bills, and bills are all useful. All of you are exiled officials, and my husband cannot be a eunuch for life.
,total
We have to go home, and we need reliable circulation channels most. The capital’s bank deposits will never be less than those in Jiangnan. Once they get used to the interest, they won’t be able to withdraw cash easily.”
Pang Yu was a little excited. He slowly stood up and came to the railing. The sound of silk and bamboo and a woman singing a cappella came from the river. "The capital is an important place, but the secret sentry camp cannot act like this on the river. People cannot know that I have sent people to the capital."
To send information. Under Zhang Mazi, there must be a leader recruited locally. Zhang Mazi must not contact the spies directly.
.”
"A villain can understand."
Pang Yu took a breath and said, "Especially the line in the palace, we can only communicate through a single line. It doesn't matter if we transfer twice in the middle. We must not let people know that it is related to Anqing."
Jiang Fan said calmly, "My subordinates have made arrangements. The line in the palace has not actually entered yet. It will probably be August or September before they can enter the palace. At the beginning, there will only be two people." "Feng Quan is not needed to put these people into the palace.
I'm afraid they won't have any status if they rely on them. The secret sentry department needs to provide some assistance outside the palace so that they can do things easily." Boats were passing on the Qinhuai River in front of Pang Yu, and there were layers of bright ripples on the water.
Ripples came to him, "How are other places in the north arranged?" "According to your advice, the intelligence points have expanded from the capital to Jiubian, mainly in Liao Town. The Fang Guangchen selected this time is the information provided by Dong Xinkui.
Fang Guangchen asked him to transport a batch of silver and jewelry, and he came to Nanjing to receive this sum.
Money, so that we can arrange for the female detective to wait in advance."
Pang Yu smiled and glanced at the inner courtyard on the left. It was quite quiet there, and there was no noise at all. "I heard that he was also in Yumian Tower today."
"This is the second time he has come here. He specifically asked the female detective to accompany him. His subordinates thought that he had intended to redeem the female detective. If this happens, it will be the first time that the secret sentry camp has completed such an errand. There will be news from Liao Town in the future. There will be no shortage." Pang Yu did not ask the female detective's name, but encouraged Jiang Fan, "This matter was done very well. After all, the secret sentry camp is not a Cao gang. It cannot only know how to fight and kill, but to obtain information is the secret sentry. The first priority of the camp. But there are other important news.
interest?"
"There are reports in Nanjing and Yangzhou that Huizhou merchants who have opened banks and pawn shops are colluding and are sending people to see Liu Ruogu to tell Dajiang Bank not to do official loan business." Pang Yu just hummed. Before, Nanjing and Yangzhou's banks and pawn shops are basically run by Hui merchants. After Dajiang Bank was opened, it mainly solicited deposits, while Hui merchants mainly made loans. There was no conflict in the business between the two parties. Now Liu Ruogu has begun to lend money.
Regarding official loans, these Huizhou merchants should be afraid of the scale of Dajiang Bank and worry about being robbed of their official loan business.
"If they just send people to negotiate, Liu Ruogu knows how to negotiate. Just watch out if anyone wants to use force."
Jiang Fan hesitated for a moment and then said, "One more thing. There are people in Nanjing who have restored society and want to attack Ruan Dacheng together. I heard that a public disclosure has been drafted, but it has not been posted yet, and the content has not been understood." "Public disclosure?" Pang Yu Frowning, the announcement was actually just like the notice posted by the government. It was written and posted in crowded places for everyone to see. Pang Yu posted it all afternoon during the civil unrest in Tongcheng, but it seemed to have no effect.
use.
"What's the use?"
Jiang Fan had also done this before, and he shook his head and said, "I don't know, even a villain. I guess these scholars have no other way."
"Fushe and Ruan Dacheng have not dealt with each other for a year or two. Why did they suddenly want to write a public disclosure? Who is the leader? Why do they want to attack Ruan Dacheng?"
"The leader is Wu Yingji, but the one behind the instigation is Zhou Biao. As for why this is the case, we have not yet found out." Posting public disclosure is just to ruin the other party's reputation. Ruan Dacheng is different from Zhou Zhikui. Zhou Zhikui was the magistrate of the county at the time and restored society. Exposing him publicly and attacking him can have an impact, but Ruan Dacheng is a white man and does not even hold an official position. His reputation is not
It's not much better. Nanjing is not the capital, so this public announcement doesn't seem to have any impact on him. If someone criticizes Pang Yu in public, Pang Yu won't pay attention to it at all, and it won't hurt him at all. How can he think about it? It was useless. He thought for a while but still couldn't figure it out. Seeing this, Jiang Fan added, "The main thing is to listen to it in the eyebrow tower."
Yes, I don’t know whether this matter is big or small, but now we have a lot of reliance on Mr. Ruan, so when your Excellency asked, I told you all about it."
"Does Ruan Dacheng know?"
"Everyone in Fushe did not hide their actions. Mr. Ruan must have heard some rumors." Pang Yu thought about it and said, "Wu Yingji and this group of people never have a clue about what they do. Maybe it is just a whim, but it is in line with Ruan Dacheng's whim. Fight. Tomorrow when the Japanese official and Ruan Dacheng are going to see Wu Chang, if he doesn’t tell me, I won’t
I went to ask. One last thing, you send someone to Xuzhou Wharf to prepare a month's supply of food and grass for two thousand people, two thousand people, two thousand horses, and half a month's supply in Linqing."
"Your Excellency, are you going to go to King Qin?" Pang Yu nodded, "The biggest bargaining chip we have with all parties is the force of the Anqing camp. This year, the Jiannu invaders are imminent, and the court has no way to deal with it. I have no plans to fight against the Jiannu, but
Get the entire line in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and get tickets
The issue is imminent, so we really need a bargaining chip. After much thought, I have decided that I can only attack the Qing army."
"Your Majesty said last time that it would only take one or two months for Jiannu to join the invaders, which also means that he would have to turn around after one month. If your Majesty sends troops from Anqing and reaches Beizhili in one month, he may be too exhausted to fight." "Jiannu comes out of seclusion.
At that time, we had money, food, and children, and we had traveled thousands of miles, and we were still unable to bear the war. If we could hit him at the tail end, we would hit him. If he was strong, we would not hit him. As long as we went for a trip, we could always write about it in the newspapers.
