Chapter 605 Jiangnan Road, everyone has their own heart

"The envoy of Pan Liancheng, the chief soldier of Dinghai, has just left, and the envoy of Bai Daolong, the deputy capital of Hangzhou, has come again, Your Majesty's move is really amazing, hitting the weakness of the Tartar court."

Fan Jin, as the governor of the Privy Council, naturally would not deign to talk to Bai Daolong's envoy in person, this matter was solved by someone else, he returned to his big tent, and the foreign man who was in charge of the defense of Jiangnan Xingying and Longmen Port came to report on the defense, and sighed with emotion.

Fan Jin said: "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and it is even more difficult to make a revolution in Huaxia, and you also know the stakes?" ”

Xu Shidao, Huang Shen, Zhuang Youyi and others are the predecessors of the Huangpu Army Academy, and they graduated from the first phase of the Huangpu Martial Arts School.

The previous group of army rookies were full of thoughts about recovering China as soon as possible and resurrecting the Han and Tang Dynasties. Last year, they focused on the South Seas and fought Luzon, and they could still endure it, and this year the South Seas are generally calm. However, the imperial court has not yet taken action to the north, and they are very dissatisfied. Now that I have started it, I have entered Jiangnan with industry and commerce, and I can't figure out what kind of "commercial colonization" it is.

Fan Jin led the team to sit in Longmen and ordered Xu Shidao's general, and after more than a month of tossing, Xu Shidao saw the complicated hearts of the people in Jiangnan, and his thinking also changed.

Such a large Jiangnan has a self-contained and deep-rooted foundation of interests, all the way to the court of the Tartars, and it was defeated with the army, but it only cut off the connections to the court of the Tartars, but the foundation of interests remained intact, and it was difficult for Xu Shidao to imagine what it would look like at that time.

Not to mention Jiangnan, the Anglo-Chinese country, from the battle between the hearts of the people, to the land price turmoil, to the stock market trend, and the contradictions between Fujian and Guangdong, they have all been in trouble all the way. Fortunately, the emperor always saw the opportunity first with the imperial court, and let their soldiers spend their blood and sweat for the benefit of a country, and opened up another world in Nanyang, so that these contradictions could be tolerated and the foundation of a country would not be disturbed.

If Ranxiang suddenly eats such a big Jiangnan, not to mention anything else, Xu Shidao believes that maybe the situation will be so chaotic that the emperor will break the promise that the army will not be internal, and then the Chinese morality guarded by Yinghua and the emperor's constitutional constitution will still stand?

Now it's okay, just occupy the small corner of Longmen, the imperial court shrinks behind, deters by force, pushes industry and commerce to fight for food, destroys the network of interests in Jiangnan, and disintegrates the hearts of the people in Jiangnan, just like a slow fire and a soup.

Look, the Tartar court is raising its throat, shouting for the righteousness of the monarch and the ministers, and inciting the people of Jiangnan to be hostile to Yinghua. But the following officials, those generals, are not fools, one side is profit, the other side is guns, which one does he choose?

Fan Jin then made a sour mistake again, shook his head and sighed: "The falling flowers are intentional, the flowing water is ruthless, this is Jiangnan, not Guangdong."

It is not a good thing to continue to let these people take advantage of the big profits. ”

If this matter goes deeper, it is not something that the head of a soldier like Xu Shidao can turn, he can only scratch his head.

At this time, the other two entered the big tent, it was Xue Xue and Xiang Huailiang, and it was the two of them who were talking to Bai Daolong's envoy. Xiang Huailiang said with a happy face: "Jinshanwei has held this road, and Songjiang and Hangzhou have basically been opened." ”

Fan Jin frowned: "Songjiang Mansion and Hangzhou Mansion are the roots of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Bai Daolong is alone, I'm afraid he can't handle it." Xue Xue nodded: "The prefect of Songjiang has softened, after all, Longmen is this distance from Songjiang Mansion, and Hangzhou Mansion ...... Nian Qianqiang's general is in Hangzhou, where it takes a lot of effort. The Hangzhou government was particularly active in the Jiangnan literary disaster before, and the Jiangnan literati in China hated it to the core, so I think it is better to let the Heaven and Earth Society and the Military Intelligence Department take action to arrest the Hangzhou prefect and return to the country for public trial, so as to deter other officials in Jiangnan. ”

Fan Jin asked again: "First from Songjiang, pour out our salt, rice, cloth and iron and other commercial goods." Hangzhou...... Haven't Nian Qianqiang and Li Wei's response come out yet? ”

Xue Xue said with a smile: "At this time, I'm afraid that the two are still fighting for power......

In Suzhou Mansion, in a garden behind the yamen of the governor of Liangjiang, hundreds of Qing officials gathered in one place and recited the "Hadith" in unison. A blood-red banner floated high, with six miserable white characters written from right to left: "Loyal to the monarch and protecting the country and the people".

Under the banner is a platform covered by a red cloth, and the four people who are behind the platform, Nian Qianqiang, Li Wei, Jiangsu Governor Li Ba, and Zhejiang Governor Fan Shijie also stood up from the Taishi chair at this time, and followed these hundreds of officials to bow to the north with their hands in their mouths. …,

Nowadays, whenever officials gather, they must first recite the hadith and then talk about business.

The chanting movement ended, and then Li Wei's majestic voice floated through the garden.

"Nanban is cunning, people-to-people, reliable people, and their people, you can get Jiangnan!? Dream! That's right, their civilian army has guns in their hands and knows how to fight, but after all, they are just people! The Nian Dashuai and the Governor have issued an order to shave their hair against these people! As long as you don't have braids, you will be killed! They come in large numbers, and the flag camp and the green camp will deal with them. They come in small groups, and even hire traitors to guide the way, and your state and county will do a good job of closing the door and beating the dogs! ”

"Come and kill one by one, kill one by one, and see if the southern barbarians dare to gain a foothold in Jiangnan!" "Jiangnan commercial goods, especially grain, rice, salt and iron, from today onwards, all of them are in circulation. But anyone who does not get the goods in the yamen, whether they are merchants or sitting merchants, they are all buying and selling Nanban goods, and they are all punished as collaborators! For your state and county magistrates, this matter is a major matter for Xiang Dai and his head, which place is loosely managed, I Li Wei will not dispose of you, and will directly take you to the line of the young handsome to behead you! ”

Li Wei talked about the big things, Nian Qianqiang went on to talk about military matters, and then the governors of the two provinces went to the prefectures and counties to explain the arrangements one by one. The prefects and counties below were stiff-skinned, like mud towners in the temple, listening respectfully

The Yinghua red-clothed soldiers landed in Songjiang Mansion and opened up land to build Longmen Port, and the first reaction of Nian Qianqiang and Li Wei was, of course, to raise troops to fight.

The result is obvious, a few years ago, he couldn't beat the redcoats, and now even if he changes the hydrocarbon pistol and casts a small cannon, he still can't beat it.

The performance of the Jiangnan Green Battalion in this battle made Nian Qianqiang even more desperate.

The next measure was to mobilize the people of Songjiang Prefecture to attack, and it cost tens of thousands of taels of silver to mobilize more than 10,000 people in the following prefectures and counties. But he didn't want the other party to be a red-clothed soldier, so he changed into a civilian army with mixed clothes. There are more than 10,000 people here, and there are thousands of people over there, and the guns are like rain, and the people here are scattered like birds and beasts hundreds of feet away.

On the surface, he didn't dare to make any more big moves, but secretly Li Wei mobilized the forces of the rivers and lakes that he was familiar with.

At first, it seemed to be very effective, and many lonely people were arrested, and no one else dared to take half a step out of the tidal flat. But then Li Wei found out that something was wrong, the people in the rivers and lakes were really unreliable, and they turned back one after another under the other party's silver money offensive, not only became someone's bodyguard, but also helped guide the way in the periphery of Songjiang Mansion.

During this stage, Nian Qianqiang and Li Wei strictly supervised Songjiang Mansion and never allowed each other to buy and sell goods. But he didn't want the soldiers below to stop the silver offensive, and the smuggling wind became more and more intense.

The two could no longer sit still, and on the one hand, they reported to Yongzheng, and on the other hand, they organized officials from the two provinces to firmly suppress them and prevent them from being knocked down by the silver bullets of Yinghua Industry and Commerce.

During the meeting, the two sat opposite each other in the hall, looking at each other speechlessly, ready to prepare.

They are not helpless, and the two items just mentioned are preliminary countermeasures. The first is to kill the Yinghua people who have fled into the south of the Yangtze River, after all, the other party has no braids, and his body is very recognizable.

The second is to control commercial goods, Yinghua Industry and Commerce is to circulate commercial goods, as long as the control of the route of commercial goods, non-lead and do not buy, Yinghua Industry and Commerce may know the difficulty and retreat. However, this article is too wide-ranging, and the government must control the flow of goods more strictly, and the main purpose of this is to convene the magistrates of the two provinces.

These two are the tacit understanding between the two on the surface, but the two of them have other plans in their stomachs, they wrote to Yongzheng, and they dare not hide the current situation, but the further countermeasures proposed are completely different.

Li Wei thought about Yongzheng wholeheartedly, and felt that it was very unrealistic to completely block the goods of the north and south, as far as his heart was concerned, Yinghua's penetration of Jiangnan with industry and commerce was actually a good thing for the imperial court. After all, Jiangnan taxes can still be kept, although it is only a matter of time before Jiangnan is lost, but whether the Qing Dynasty can still protect the country is also a matter of time. Taking advantage of the fact that he could still collect taxes in Jiangnan, he would not make peace with Nanban in Jiangnan, so he buried himself in building a large army in the north, waited until Nanban ate Jiangnan, and then fought a decisive battle with Nanban in the vast land in the north.

If you are in Jiangnan at this time, you will be able to endure Nanban anymore and eat Jiangnan. Losing the 134 million taels of taxes and 34 million stones and rice in Jiangnan, how can the imperial court hold on? …,

Fighting with Nanban in Jiangnan is to die now, let Nanban industry and commerce enter Jiangnan, and there are at least three or five years to live, Li Wei feels that this multiple-choice question is not difficult to do, and the new policy that Yongzheng has been implementing is actually this way.

Nian Qianqiang has another countermeasure, he feels that the people of Jiangnan have a usable side, so he should make good use of this side and face off with Nanban in Jiangnan.

Nian Qianqiang proposed to build a camp in Songjiang to block the newly established Longmen Port in Nanman. This will of course attract the Nanban army to attack, just right, with Yinghua to occupy Jiangnan, Jiangnan is about to break everyone as a call, use the people, support the army of the imperial court, and fight with the Nanban here, turning this place into a place of flesh and blood, so that the two sides can plant a deep feud in the sea of blood. Even if Nanban can win for a while, it will be difficult for him to gain a foothold in Jiangnan.

At first, when Nian Qianqiang told Li Wei about this strategy, Li Wei also scolded him for being too demonic, but Nian Qianqiang said that in an extraordinary world, he had to do extraordinary things.

Nian Qianqiang believes that measured by Yongzheng's great determination, his strategy should be able to impress Yongzheng. If Jiangnan is lost, the Qing Dynasty will no longer have the number of qi, and it is doubtful whether Yongzheng's position can still sit firmly.

Both of them are very stingy, and they also have their intentions to fight for their own interests.

Li Wei's suggestions also include Zhou Kunlai's explanation of the situation between the north and the south. And Li Xu's position also reminded Li Wei. The north and the south sometimes take the same position on some points.

"Zhou Kunlai and Li Xu are circling between the north and the south, and the silver is being collected rolling, why can't the old man collect it?

***！ ”

Li Wei's suggestions are also lined with such a voice.

"Military first, I, the marshal, naturally have authority. At that time, whether it is flesh and blood or silver, my weight in the north and south will be heavier, and people must first be for themselves, which I agree with the way of the Southern Barbarians. So, Gangnam must fight! ”

Nian Qianqiang's suggestions also have such a voice.

Although the two looked at each other, their minds guarded their dantian, turning their own big and small Zhou Tian...... ）
