Those people in Quanzhou were quite disappointed, Wang Guorui did not treat them especially because he was born in Quanzhou, so they were quite disappointed. And they don't know that Wang Guorui actually doesn't like the kind of thing where one person gets the Tao and the chicken dog ascends to heaven, any achievement must be achieved through his own efforts, otherwise he is counting on others to succeed and enjoy it himself, so how impetuous will this society become? Isn't it encouraging people to get something for nothing?

Many later generations thought that the income of Ming Dynasty officials was low, but in fact, Wang Guorui did not think so at all, and the income of Ming Dynasty officials was actually very high. And the reason why Ming Dynasty officials kept saying that their income was low, and then it became a legitimate reason for corruption, is actually very absurd. Because the officials of the Ming Dynasty not only had to live on their own, but also had to support a large group of seven aunts and eight aunts, and even had to take several concubines themselves, and then all kinds of servants spended, so it was definitely not enough? The income of officials in later generations is actually lower than that of officials in the Ming Dynasty, but why can they get a taste? Could it be that all the officials of later generations were also corrupt? Obviously not, that's because they don't have seven aunts and eight aunts to support, and then they don't have to marry a few wives and concubines, and they don't have to support any servants, at most they are just one or two nannies, where are there groups of servants? So of course that's enough? Therefore, the officials of the Ming Dynasty kept saying that they were poor and corrupt, which was just a completely false proposition.

And Wang Guorui thinks that he doesn't need to feed so many seven aunts and eight aunts, and there is even no need to feed those villagers in his hometown. Although Wang Guorui was born in Quanzhou, it does not mean that he has much affection for Quanzhou. He was not from Quanzhou in his previous life, and he did not have deep feelings for Quanzhou. In addition, he can't treat Quanzhou so well because he was born in Quanzhou, so what's the difference between him and those feudal emperors? As a national leader, you should set your sights on the whole country. The whole country is your people, if you only give preferential treatment to your own hometown, wouldn't that be a very serious practice of the world?

Therefore, Wang Guorui did not give Quanzhou too much preferential treatment, that is, a fund of 50,000 yuan, and it was just a one-time payment, if it was for the entire people of Quanzhou. It was a bit of a feeling of asking for food, so those students in Quanzhou also expressed their dissatisfaction, but there was nothing they could do.

However, when the municipalities and those designated as investment zones were announced, the local people also felt a wave of excitement. The people in the Shanghai area heard that they were classified as a municipality directly under the central government, while the people in Shanghai County did not have any, because they had more contact with the West, but other places were different. When Jiading, Qingpu and other county towns were designated as new municipalities directly under the central government of Shanghai, they also felt very happy. Because everybody knows that this municipality has an elevated status. Then everyone is happy! Especially now that they've received even more attention, who wouldn't? You must know that any official, the people also want their local status to be higher, and they can also get a higher status, and it feels good to say it!

However, in the west, a war was raging in Shaanxi, and the army of the Yanhuang Empire under Wang Guorui was attacking the city of Xi'an, Shaanxi, which was also the residence of the Manchu governor of Shaanxi and Gansu. And when Xi'an and Xianyang in Shaanxi merged to form a municipality directly under the central government. The soldiers were also excited.

"The emperor ordered that Xi'an and Xianyang in Shaanxi were merged to form a municipality directly under the central government. Whoever conquers Xi'an and Xianyang in Shaanxi Province will be counted according to the merit of conquering a province, so all brothers work hard! Moreover, immediately convey our orders to those Han army green battalions in Xi'an and Xianyang, this is a good opportunity, if we can give up the city as soon as possible. Then we can all count the credit of a province according to the amount of money that should be given to them. So hopefully they will seize this opportunity and don't miss it! ”

I heard that a big pie fell from the sky, which really made everyone stunned. Originally, everyone was still preparing to conquer Xi'an, and then formally recover Shaanxi and Gansu, so as to complete the great cause of the reunification of the motherland. But I didn't expect to drive all the way to the outside of Xi'an. And then came the good news. After Xi'an and Xianyang in Shaanxi were established as municipalities directly under the central government, Wang Guorui ordered the Military Commission to encourage the soldiers to recover Shaanxi as soon as possible, so as long as they conquered Xi'an and Xianyang in Shaanxi, they could be calculated according to the military exploits of a province. Even for those who can seize the opportunity anyway, they can also donate a province as a meritorious service, so that the preferential treatment suddenly increases more than a chip! So when he heard the news, the morale of the soldiers was immediately raised again, and then he was ready to hurry up and win this battle feat, which fell from the sky for no reason.

Even, the green battalions, the Eight Banners, and some of the defeated Manchu remnants of the Manchu Dynasty who did not enter the stream also began to discuss here.

"Everyone, I got the news, and the emperor of the new court has also ordered, as long as we can dedicate Xi'an City this time, it will be calculated according to the merits of a province! Now, our credit has increased and increased tenfold for no reason, and when the time comes, we will receive even greater preferential treatment, what do you think? I was hesitant, but now I'm going to do it. As long as I do this vote, then I can go back and be a rich man. This kind of good thing actually fell pie in the sky, directly calculated according to a province, this kind of good thing actually smashed our heads, so how can we do it if we dare not go in and do it? I've heard that the armies outside the new court have also received similar news, and as long as they conquer Xi'an and Xianyang, they can also be counted according to the credit for conquering a province. I'm afraid they're going to attack like crazy, so why should we leave our lives here? The Qing Dynasty has perished, so why should we bury the Manchus? ”

"Yes! The 100,000 troops outside are all artillery fire, and we have all heard before that their artillery is very powerful. One of their divisions, that is, more than 10,000 people, actually has seventy or eighty artillery pieces, while our town only has an artillery battalion, and it is still lacking. Where are our opponents? ”

"Your new army is okay, our green battalion doesn't have a single cannon at all, how can we fight?"

Even the leader of the Eight Banners was helpless, and they didn't want to fight now. In fact, these children of the Eight Banners had already exhausted their blood in hundreds of years of stability, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not let them engage in other industries, and relied on flag salaries to support them every year. In fact, isn't it a tragedy for them? Although many people may envy their salary, in fact they are also living a more miserable life. Because they are paid to support themselves, they cannot engage in any other trade, they cannot engage in business, they cannot farm, they cannot work. Their only means of survival is to make a mess, relying on those flags every day.

Even the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were not all soldiers, they had a set of establishments, and if they wanted to be soldiers, they had to take exams. Those who do not pass the examination and pass the competition cannot obtain a salary, and those who do not have a salary can only rely on those who have a salary to support themselves, and they are not allowed to engage in other industries. In this way, with the large population, their lives are becoming more and more difficult. In fact, isn't this Eight Banners system a prison without walls? Although there are free meals, the price is also the loss of freedom. For those low-level Eight Banner soldiers, it is actually a manifestation of losing their freedom. It's like some people often joke that they have free meals to eat when they go to prison, but the real situation is that how many people are willing to go to prison?

And now Wang Guorui did not take revenge on the Manchus for massacre, but instead reassigned them with professional skills and asked them to do other work. Although he lost his salary, he gained something more precious, that is, freedom. Not many people are willing to give up their freedom for the sake of the two taels a month? Could it be that they are working hard with the new dynasty, that is, for this flag salary of two taels of silver per month?

"I won't do it, Emperor Ende, didn't retaliate against us bannermen, and gave me a way to live, so why do we need to be martyred for the Qing court? Even if we insist, it will end up being less than two taels a month, and then the price will be the bondage of generations. Isn't it enough for our ancestors? Even if we go to work casually, we have no less than seven or eight taels of silver every month, why should we lose our lives for this mere two taels of silver, or go to freedom? ”

And those other officers and soldiers also chose to stand on their side when they saw these bannermen, and then they all expressed their intention to carry out an uprising.

"Give me an attack, attack Xi'an City, and the credit will be ten times greater!" Immediately an officer shouted.

Wang Guorui's army began to attack the city of Xi'an, and soon the city walls were also conquered, and then the follow-up troops began to pour into Xi'an, preparing to obtain more than ten times the battle victory that came out of thin air.

"Company commander, you see, the flagpole of the Shaanxi-Gansu Governor's Mansion has been hung with a white flag, and they have surrendered? The Qing troops in those cities have revolted anyway, Shaanxi has been completely recovered by us, and we should go to recover Gansu next. However, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu has been captured by us, so Gansu must be leaderless next, so we can easily defeat it! ”

The company commander said speechlessly: "Damn, we actually let these guys take the lead, even if they don't sacrifice the city, we can all fight it." Now, the credit that belongs to us will be greatly discounted! (To be continued.) )
