73. Before the Southern Tour (2)
For a time, the 30 million taels of Vietnam War bonds sold in Beijing were sold out, and the rest of the merchants flocked to Tianjin and Shanghai to continue to snap up the remaining bonds. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In order to save his life and reputation, Bao Jun had to use all the family property accumulated in the house for many years to buy several large boxes of bonds, Prince Zhuang Zaixun was his father who rebelled in the palace of the Old Summer Palace, and now the former Prince Zhuang Yiren, who was imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion, sold his property to buy bonds, and a soft sedan chair quietly transported Yiren out of the Zongren Mansion.
What the Chinese need most is someone to take the lead, and after the tide started, the big guys rushed to buy it, and some Jin merchants who saw the potential of the bonds were ready to resell them, and they also spent a lot of money to buy them, and the silver of the household bonds had reached one-third of the amount in a few days, and Yan Jingming was obviously very happy, with this silver, there was no need to worry about the next war expenses.
Several places where bonds are sold are extremely hot, not all sold out, the interest on Vietnamese bonds has risen by one percent, under the speculation of the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the market is gradually becoming popular, Yan Jingming estimates that in another month, the bonds of this 800 million taels of silver can be sold out, however, no one has the patience to wait until a month later, whether it is the French or the silk merchants, or Bao Jun or the queen mother in the palace, but after another day, the center issued an order, which is another extremely exciting and bold will, The big guys in the market were originally paying attention to the stalemate war in Vietnam and the treasury bonds sold in the north, but now there is another sensational event.
On the first day of the first month of March, the Empress Dowager Cixi issued an edict, "The war against France is urgent, outside the Bali Bridge in the past, it was also fought on the front line to supervise the army, and the heart of the heart remained unchanged for 20 years. ”
The military aircraft department headed by Prince Li tried hard to advise, but the Empress Dowager Cixi just didn't listen, "The former Ming Dynasty also had the courage of the Son of Heaven to defend the country, this dynasty set the Central Plains, the land of Gyeonggi is no longer a country, the regimental training of the Black Flag Army and so on are fighting hard in Vietnam, as the regent of the Queen Mother, although I have no ability to be in battle, but I can also go to the front line in person, stimulate morale, and magnify the heroes of the world, you need not say much!" ”
Prince Xuan jumped to his feet and scolded in the duty room of the military aircraft outside the Longzong Gate, "I look at you guys, what kind of errand are you doing, if the West Holy Master wants to go to the south, you will let her go?" Do you understand what it means to share worries for your father? If you want me to say, this year is a crab is not as good as a crab, the sixth child got off the stage, and got on you starters, do you not even understand the basic etiquette, do you understand the persuasion? Everything has to be done by the West Holy Master, what do you want these wine bags and rice bags to eat? ”
Sula naturally didn't dare to persuade, only Jing Shou came up to persuade him, and wanted to pull Prince Xuan in detail, but he couldn't pull it anymore, Prince Li sat in the duty room with a smile, and didn't care about the abuse outside, quite spit on his own self-cultivation, Erle and Bu were originally very hard people, but he also knew that this Fudi Chenghuang, the most noble old fifth lady in the near branch clan, was simply an unreasonable master, and it was only humiliated to go out to theorize, he looked at Prince Shiduo who was drinking tea and enjoying himself, Touched his nose, "Lord Wang, why don't you persuade Xisheng?" ”
"Can Xisheng's temperament be persuasive?" Prince Li said with a smile, "She has her own Zhang Zifang and Zhuge Liang, so we don't need to give advice to the West Sage." ”
"But we're here in the Military Aircraft Department," Erle and Buhan didn't say a word, but they both understood what it meant, and the transfer of central authority was not a good thing for the Minister of Military Aircraft.
Prince Shi Duo smiled and said, "Isn't it wartime now?" Originally, it was from the power, and since the time of Prince Gong, Xisheng has his own opinions, nothing more than Prince Gong's authority is greater than ours, Xisheng has Zhang Zifang, and there is General Han Xin on the front line, what about the center, there was originally a Xiao He, but it was stopped, let's not do much, if you want me to say, let's be Cao Shen. ”
There is an idiom called "Xiao Gui Cao Sui" "Historical Records of Cao Xiangguo's Family": "What is the Han Xiangguo in the Participating Dynasties, nothing has changed, and Xiao He is constrained." "The so-called benefits of doing nothing." Our military aircraft, haven't you seen it clearly? Who are Sun, Qing, and Dong? What kind of character is Jingshou, and what kind of character am I? Besides, there are so many things in the court, it's not enough for you to be busy? ”
"I'm just afraid that I'm worried that it won't be safe on the road, after all, we're going to the sea, and we're now declaring war on the French, in case they sneak up on the sea, it's ......," Erle and Bou said worriedly.
The scolding of the prince outside the room gradually became low, obviously the prince was persuaded by Jing Shou, Shi Duo said firmly, "No, this time it is the Beiyang Navy Division escorting south," Dingyuan and Fuyuan two 7,000-ton ironclad ships with large and small cruisers, practice ships and other escorts, no one dares to come to be presumptuous, not to mention not to go to the south, just in Shanghai, and then change trains, Qingdao Weihai two military ports have now set off to patrol the waterway, be sure to ensure safety, so, this patrol journey, there will be no problem. ”
With the escort of the Beiyang Naval Division, there must be no problem, Erle and Bu were originally afraid that people outside would talk about the Empress Dowager Cixi wanting to follow the example of Emperor Gao Zongchun and play in the name of inspection, but in this wartime, no one must be stupid to this extent, "Lord Wang, you are bound to stay, but I don't know whether to arrange someone to supervise the country." ”
Prince Li waved his hand and called Sulla, "Who is the Western Holy Master calling at this time?" ”
"It's the Seventh Prince."
"Oh?" Prince Li raised his eyebrows slightly, "After announcing the military plane, I immediately summoned Prince Alcohol again, it seems that it is this seventh prince who is in charge of the country." ”
"Lord Alcohol?" Erle and Bu faintly felt that it was inappropriate, "Is this appropriate?" ”
"What's inappropriate, I dare to go to the south to supervise the war, are you still afraid of any prison country?" Prince Li smiled and said, "The West Holy Master is going to Shanghai, so ...... There must be Dong Yuanol accompanying him, Xiaoshan, do you dare to bet with me? ”
"Why is that?" Erle and Bu were puzzled and curious and said, "I don't know why, I just know that Rong Lu must be accompanied, but I don't know how others will arrange it." ”
As soon as Erle and Bu's words fell, the military aircraft Zhang Jing walked in and announced, "Qiqi Wang Ye Zhongtang, news has come from the Yangxin Palace, the Western Sage's will: Prince Alcohol will supervise the country, Dong Yuanol, Qinghai and Sun Yuwen will accompany the three Zhongtang adults to accompany the southern tour, and the rest of the military ministers will stay in Beijing. ”
Prince Li smiled proudly, "How? Am I guessing right? ”
