In the next few days, a strange phenomenon occurred in the Manchu and Qing court halls.
Today, the upper three flags support the development of industry, while the lower five flags firmly oppose it.
Tomorrow, the Three Banners will support the training of the Eight Banners cavalry, while the Five Banners will feel that developing industry is the top priority.
In short, whatever the three flags raise, the five flags will oppose.
Opposition for the sake of opposition.
It doesn’t matter whether this decree is good or not.
A group of ministers were either rolling around or lying motionless in the main hall, which was an eye-opener for Jiaqing.
And what happened in the Manchu court also reached the ears of Eldenbao who was stationed in Rucheng.
Regarding this matter, Eldenbao reserved his own opinion, that is, he did not express an opinion.
I'm showing off!
Now that the weather is freezing, Eldenbao likes to lie down in his mansion in Rucheng, enjoying the well-earned comfort.
In the morning, Eldenbao got up under the service of his maid.
The maid brought a copper basin and a thermos flask produced by Chongming Island Daily Necessities Factory.
"Master Hou~"
The maid made a wish, placed the copper basin on the wooden shelf, pulled out the stopper of the thermos, and poured hot water into the copper basin.
There is also a maid holding a tea cup, toothbrush, toothpaste and other things, waiting for Eldenbao to wash up.
After Eldenbao was fully dressed, the maid took him to the main hall.
It was raining and snowing at this time, and the maid opened a folding umbrella.
When Eldenbao came to the main hall, breakfast from the south bank of the Yangtze River came into view, with several newspapers placed next to it.
Breakfast came from a shop called Royal Chicken, including chicken drumsticks, chicken popcorn, purple taro cakes, ice cream... and a cup of milk tea.
Once this novel meal was launched, it was well received by both sides of the Yangtze River.
High in oil, high in salt and high in sugar, this is exactly what the people of this world desperately need.
Only some wealthy families could buy it on the north bank. At first, they only sent their servants across the river to buy it, or they bought it secretly.
After all, although the First Fleet of the Ming Navy has lifted the blockade of the Yangtze River, ships docking are still subject to inspection.
The purpose is to prevent "smuggling".
Some fishermen on the south coast saw business opportunities. How much money can they make per day of fishing? It's better to spend some money and buy a lot of royal chicken set meals, and then row to the center of the river to sell them.
A round trip net profit of 3 taels.
In order to make more money, many fishermen squatted in front of the store early.
When Zhu Zaiming heard the clerk's feedback, he couldn't laugh or cry.
In the Ming Dynasty, anything with the word "royal" in it was Zhu Zaiming's royal property, and these businesses would be used as expenses for the royal family.
Eldenbao lay comfortably on the chair, pulled over the small blanket, and began to enjoy morning tea time.
The old man is old, but he has a good appetite. He chewed the chicken drumstick in just two bites.
Then I picked up "The Ming Dynasty Reader" and started reading. When I saw the fascinating place, I didn't even know when I poured milk tea on the small blanket.
"Rule of Strange Tales" has been updated for many seasons, and the plot has reached a climax at this time.
"The legendary copy of Shangluo Mountain, where bright and dark lines are intertwined, cooperation and competition...
After all, he is the Emperor of Martial Arts. This kind of dungeon-breaking method is really difficult for ordinary people to use! "
As I watched, the plot reached its climax.
Below, gone.
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
"Dry!"
Eldenbao cursed secretly and turned the page reluctantly.
The next page is an advertisement.
"Delicious Pepsi, a taste you will never forget in your life - Chongming Island Military Food Factory"
In addition to the text introduction, there is also a picture.
On the screen, a strange reddish-brown drink was poured into a glass cup, foaming and foaming.
Eldenbao's Adam's apple rolled.
Just reading the wonderful taste introduced in the text made him greedy.
"That's all. I'll ask the fishermen if they can buy it this afternoon."
Unknowingly, the morning passed by my fingertips.
Eldenbao learned about the current situation of the Ming Dynasty through several major newspapers without leaving home.
This is much more useful than those spies.
Jinling City was renovated, fields were divided, new grains were distributed to households, the 3rd Ming Standing Division was actively recruited, the first foundation of Chongming Fortress was laid, France established its first embassy in Jinling...
All of these show the difference of the new Ming Dynasty.
At the same time, Eldenbao also became disappointed with the decadent Manchu Qing Dynasty.
In his eyes, the new Ming Dynasty will eventually return like a king and replace the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
So, he stopped fighting and it was ruined.
Not only him, but also the remaining 120,000 Qing troops in Rucheng did not want to fight.
Now when they mentioned the Ming Army, their calves were trembling.
Can these soldiers still fight?
Eldenbao had no doubt that when he ordered an attack, someone would put a knife on his neck and "kindly" "persuad" him to take back his life.
Isn’t it good to beat and kill too much?
The world is so beautiful, you must know how to live.
So, everyone started to behave badly.
At noon, the housekeeper brought Eldenbo the royal chicken set meal.
The recipe is pretty much the same, but there are some differences in the staple food.
A kind of bread called pizza, in Eldenbao's view, isn't it just baked with various ingredients sprinkled on it?
However, complaints are complaints, and you still have to eat what you deserve.
After all, it is a new product. If you don’t try it, Eldenbao will feel that your life is incomplete.
After lunch, two hours later, it was tea time.
This is followed by dinner and supper.
Eldenbao spent these days in such a routine.
Eat, read the newspaper, eat, sleep.
Only at night, when he was lying on the Royal Simmons mattress he bought at a high price, did he think of his family in Peiping.
Reminds me of Jiaqing’s order to annihilate Ding Qiao’s tribe.
Destroy Ding Qiao?
Eldenbao looked at the warrant like a fool.
Ding Qiao had 1,500 people before, but he couldn't chew down 260,000 people.
Now Ding Qiao's strength has been strengthened to 2,500 men, and there is also a warrior group.
The walls of Haohe City are getting higher and higher every day visible to the naked eye.
He hit it on the head.
However, he would sometimes wake up at night and slap himself twice.
"Eldenbao, Eldenbao, you are lazy. Starting tomorrow, prepare for war!"
The next day, Eldenbao woke up as usual and changed his clothes under the service of his maid.
Then eat and read the newspaper.
When he got excited, he even wrote an article to see if he could be published in "Da Ming Reader".
Jiaqing, who was far away in the Forbidden City in Peking, looked at Eldenbao's memorial with unkind eyes.
There's not much content in it.
It was Eldenbao who wanted his family to come to Rucheng and at the same time urged Jiaqing to issue military pay.
Looking at the 6 million military salary requested by Eldenbao, veins popped up on Jiaqing's forehead.
"Are you Wu Sangui?"
At this time, Eldenbao listened to the instructions but not the propaganda, as if he was raising troops and respecting himself.
Jiaqing sent several warrants in succession, but received replies that the army had insufficient pay and could not leave.
But Jiaqing had no choice.
Rucheng was the first line against the Ming army at this time.
In the entire north, apart from the New Army and the Beijing Camp, only the 120,000 people of Ledenbao were the most capable.
If we don’t rely on Eldenbao, who else can we rely on?
At this moment Jiaqing also came back to his senses.
He has given himself a biological father...
