"Hahaha......"

Hearty laughter came from the mouths of Lu Fei and Luo Xin, in the eyes of the two, it was not easy for Lin Youde to be able to lurk in the merchant council for so long, and also pass on a lot of important information. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After the greetings, Lin Youde's expression suddenly became serious, and he said: "Now is not the time to relax, the Cao family's father and son and the Qinglong King have taken away a large amount of wealth they have looted, and this wealth is likely to have been smuggled to the territory of the British a few months ago. ”

"Damn!" Lu Fei scolded, "This killer, if I catch them, they must be skinned and cramped." ”

Lin Youde looked a little regretful, and he said: "There are also my mistakes this time, but this time the three of them are too deep, and many parliamentarians have been buried in the dark until now." ”

"Probably how many things they had?" Luo Xin asked.

"After losing the war again and again, they behaved a little abnormally, constantly asking the councillors to pay money to buy weapons, and at the same time they would kill and loot gold and silver when they didn't go anywhere, and I estimate that they stole at least a million taels of gold and six million taels of silver, and a lot of jewels and other things." Lin Youde said, "This is still a situation where they don't have enough manpower to transport it, and if they do, I'm afraid they will be transported more." ”

"That's a lot." Lu Fei felt a pain in his flesh, this is all real money, not land, mansions, and other things.

"Don't just sigh, I guess I won't be able to chase it back now, unless I hit their territory all the way." Luo Xin persuaded: "Let's collect the things that can be seized now, there are a lot of big fish in the city this time." ”

Lu Fei immediately raised his eyebrows and shouted to the division commander under his command to let them collect the loot.

As soon as the royal army entered the city, the fighting in Canton came to an end, and a large number of soldiers surrendered to them, and when they arrived at the parliament residence, they found that the councillors had been basically killed.

Angry civilians and soldiers have already unleashed their hatred on them.

It doesn't matter to this Lu Fei and Luo Xin, anyway, if they fall into their hands, these wealthy families are also dead, and now they don't have to worry a lot of things.

After taking control of Guangzhou Cheng, they immediately cleared the wealth of the parliamentarians under the leadership of Lin Youde, and now they all understand a truth.

This war is the same as doing business, the more you fight, the more profitable you are, and a loss-making war is a heavy burden on the country, and a profitable war can make the country richer and richer.

In the course of this southward journey, the existence of the merchant council gave them a reason to purge the wealthy clans, and almost every state and county was confiscated from the recalcitrant wealthy clans.

The land was distributed to the people, the houses and shops were sold, and all the gold and silver were transported, and the war money was much more than what they had earned in industry and commerce over the years.

Only then did they understand why the barbarians were keen to go south, because they robbed the Great Chongqing Kingdom as a profitable business, and the Great Chongqing Kingdom beat them as a money-losing business.

In the long run, the Great Chongqing Kingdom will only lose to the bottom.

……

February 25, Qingzhou.

The news of the victory of the battle in Guangzhou was transmitted to Qingzhou with the shouting and harmony of the post general, and the post general with the report of the great victory rode all the way into Qingzhou City, riding a horse and shouting at the same time.

When he arrived at the palace, he immediately presented the battle report to Du Boyuan, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and the news quickly reached Xiao Ming.

At this time, the officials of the outer palace also heard the news, and Pang Yukun got up and went to the study.

"The city of Guangzhou is broken, most of the members of the merchant council have died, and now the merchant council exists in name only, the only pity is that the Cao family's father and son and the Qinglong King fled." Pang Yukun showed a look of pity after reading the battle report.

Xiao Ming frowned, "The most hateful thing is that they also transported a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, these three fools, do they really think that the British will always protect them?" “

He comes from modern times, so he naturally knows the face of these robber countries, and the Cao family father and son defected to Britain with their wealth, but the result must have been taken advantage of by the British.

"This Britain is really hateful, everywhere is against our Great Yu Kingdom, and now that the Merchant Council is gone, we can draw our hands to clean them up!" Pang Yukun said fiercely.

"That's what I'm thinking, but now there's a thornier problem." Xiao Ming handed the information sent back by Wang Xuan to Pang Yukun.

Just swept his eyes, Pang Yukun exclaimed: "The barbarians have taken refuge in Tsarist Russia!" How is this possible? “

"Nothing is impossible, the Great Chongqing Kingdom is changing, and the barbarians are also looking for a way out, according to Wang Xuan, after losing the Kwantung region, the barbarians are also suffering from the Ottoman squeeze in the west, and in the face of the feud between us and the Ottomans, Tsarist Russia is the only force he can rely on." Xiao Ming's brows furrowed.

In fact, he has been faintly worried about this matter, but now he still happened, similar to contemporary history, the nomads in the north would rather take refuge in Tsarist Russia than attached, it can be said that this is the dignity of the nomadic tribe, or it can be said that the wolf despises a group of sheep, maybe the barbarians in their bones will not submit to the Dayu country that they have become two-legged sheep.

Pang Yukun is no stranger to the current situation in the world, he knows that Tsarist Russia is a large country with a population of 46 million, and this country is good at annexing other countries.

Now that the barbarians have thrown themselves into the arms of Tsarist Russia, and with their Cossack cavalry, they will become the strongest enemy in the north of the Great Chongqing Kingdom.

"It's really a wave of unevenness." Pang Yukun smiled bitterly and shook his head, their internal worries had just been resolved, and now external troubles were coming one after another.

"Hahaha, Pang Shoufu don't have to worry, today's Dayu is no longer the Dayu of ten years ago, we can fight back at any time for any invasion, and once the railway between Kanto and Chang'an is completed, we can quickly transport troops to arrive, and at that time, both the barbarian cavalry and the Cossack cavalry will lose the advantage of mobility." Xiao Minglang said.

Pang Yukun came back to his senses, and he said with a smile: "What the emperor said is that the old minister was confused for a while, and since the robbers came to the door, they can only compete with them." “

Xiao Ming nodded, he said: "Don't worry about the north for the time being, Qi Guangyi and Luo Hong are here, they can't turn the sky for the time being, and now what they ultimately want is to integrate Jiangnan and Jiangbei to achieve the unification of the world, so that the soldiers of the southern expedition can be withdrawn." ”

"Yes, the emperor and the lower officials have drawn up a new administrative division plan for the Great Chongqing Kingdom, and they are ready to launch and implement it to realize the integration of the north and the south as soon as possible."

"This is very good, now that Guangzhou has been broken and the overall situation has been decided, all that remains is to establish a government office and eliminate the remnants of the thieves, I will leave you a part of the army in the south to cooperate with your management, and we must let the south recover as soon as possible."

As he spoke, Xiao Ming looked at the world map in front of him, he was not much easier after the end of the civil war, and now the map of the world has basically been divided up by the great powers.

The rising kingdom of Dayu will certainly not be able to escape the trap of Thucydides in this barbaric era.

This means that a new power will inevitably challenge the existing powers, and the existing powers will inevitably respond to this threat, so that war will become inevitable.
