The huge problem was actually solved by Mr. San. This strategy was very feasible, and it was based on the weaknesses of human nature at almost every step.
Who are the so-called die-hards in the court? You can clearly see it by using the benefit elimination method. Confucian scholars and nobles must be counted among them. There are also many Eight Banners nobles, especially those who have not made any money from your plan. They are also die-hards!
The landlord class of the Han Dynasty, the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasty elite groups, and some other followers who echoed!
Are they enemies? In fact, it is very simple to break their stubborn alliance, just use money and interests to attack!
Let's choose the lesser of two evils first, secretly scheming with Chen Cang to set up the Daqing Ocean Trading Company. In order to oppose the construction plan of the Daqing Navy, these die-hards can only hold their noses and admit it!
If Prince Gong, Prince Chun, Prince Qing, Zeng Guofan... such a group of officials are still in the court, this strategy will not work.
Because the restrictors of the imperial power are so powerful, they really have the ability to reject three of your plans in one go, making it impossible for even one of your plans to pass.
But everything has changed now. From the time when Emperor Tongzhi was in charge, through overt and covert fights in the court, and even direct military fire. In addition, Marshal Zeng passed away due to illness, there were fewer and fewer people who could restrict the imperial power.
The remaining people can no longer deny the three plans in one go. Anyone who dares to do this just doesn’t want their head!
Use the plan of the Qing Dynasty Navy as a weapon to forcefully break through the two plans of the Beijing-Hankou Railway and the Qing Ocean Ocean!
After these two plans have been formed, and people, property and property have been thrown in and there is no way to destroy it, then go back and use these two plans to threaten the court, and finally force the plan of the Great Qingshui Master to pass!
Of course, all this requires the help of Jingshi Exchange. The first two plans must be turned into good deals that everyone can make money. Once the die-hards see that they have made money, they will naturally no longer be die-hards, and the opposition will naturally arise. Just disappeared.
After Zuo Zongtang entered the palace, he did not expect that the third master would propose such a plan. He had to admit that the plan was indeed feasible, but he always had a doubt in his heart.
"This kind of strategy is insidious and cunning, and it directly points to people's hearts. It is extremely complicated! Isn't this a bit unlike Third Master's style?"
But what can Zuo Zongtang say? Since I have submitted all the coupons co-signed by me, I am the proposer of this plan, so I can only support the emperor's decision.
The big shots in the court began to conspire. When Zuo Zongtang had no objections, Prince Dun Yiyi, Prince Yu Benge, Prince Ding Fuxi... and even the direct descendants of Ma Ming and Bai Min from the Yulin New Army also gathered together. Civil and military officials are all the core royalists!
The meeting was held under top-secret conditions until dark. All plans had been arranged, and everyone did not disperse until the palace door was locked.
Fu Qing declined everyone's invitation to the banquet, saying that he would be busy tomorrow, and walked toward Donghua Gate alone. When he reached an empty space, he stretched tiredly.
Looking at the sky in the southwest, he whispered, "Sister! Brother, I've got another good job for our family!"
"The Emperor has decided to let me manage the Daqing Ocean Trading Company! This is a good business that makes a lot of money every day. I am a magnificent transformation from my previous thirteenth career!"
"Sister, please take good care of yourself. When Xiao Letian is unreliable, you still have me as a brother! Brother, I will support you for the rest of your life!"
At this point, Fu Qing gritted his molar teeth and said, "Xiao Letian, I listened to your plan this time just because of my sister! From now on, you must treat my sister a little bit badly. If you can't protect her well!"
"We're not done yet!"
After getting angry, Fu Qing strode out of Xihua Gate. The family stewards and guards had been waiting outside Xihua Gate for a long time. After Fu Qing got on the sedan, the group left the Forbidden City.
"Master... where are you going? The post office or the old house? Or the new house?"
"No...go north and enter Beiyuan!"
Fu Qing ordered the team to circle north from Dong'anmen and go straight to Di'anmen. From there, they entered Beiyuan. On the way, the steward secretly reported to Fu Qing the intelligence that had just been sent.
"Sir... the last batch of rifles and ammunition from the Chinese side have been sent. According to your instructions, the four banners in the west of Chahar are hiding three thousand, and the four banners in the east of Chahar are hiding two thousand... and the rest are shipped. where?"
Fu Qing thought about it for a while, "Send it to Chengde... I can trust Haraqin Zhongqi, where are the rest hidden!"
"There are still not enough guns. The Chahar area and the Jehol area cannot be controlled without 30,000 cavalry. Now we only have 20,000 guns, so we still have to buy them!"
The steward frowned and said, "Money is a problem! Nowadays, I spend too much money. This Mauser costs 130 silver dollars. This is the price given to you. The rifle alone costs 1.3 million silver dollars!"
"Ammunition is even more of a problem. You have to buy it at least 700,000 yuan, right? This is only 2 million... War horses are more expensive. Master, no matter how much money you have, this is not how you spend it!"
Fu Qing is also distressed. To outsiders, he seems to be as rich as anyone else, but he knows his own affairs well. The more he makes, the more he spends!
"Expensive? There's nothing you can do about it... The original ones imported from Germany are already priced at 210 silver dollars, and the Chinese imitations are cheaper and cost 160 silver dollars to sell to the court. This is really the price for family members!"
"Money is not a problem, just place the order... I have good news for you. The imperial court has given me the job of Daqing Ocean Trading Company!"
"After the Chinese production is completed, there will probably be no difference in the final payment...removing the east wall to pay for the west wall! Nowadays, money is not real, guns are real!"
The sedan went all the way to Di'anmen, and after entering Beiyuan, the eunuch took the third master to see the Queen Mother of the East with ease. Ci'an was as virtuous as a Han daughter-in-law, and had warmed up the wine for the third master early.
The relationship between Third Master and Ci'an is really not a secret in the capital, but no one dares to mention this secret, not even the loudest person dares to say a word.
Without him, these two people are too powerful and their influence is too strong!
"In the Rehe and Chahar areas, 90% of the officials have now defected to us! The Mongolian princes in Chahar and Haraqin have also defected to us!"
"We are still short of 10,000 guns and 15,000 horses... Sooner or later, I will make the Chaharrehe area a province for you!"
"When the time comes, it will be our kingdom, and we can live a good life with our daughter!"
Ci'an looked at his man, his eyes were filled with happiness, and he kept pouring wine for the third master, "If the Qing Dynasty had not treated us badly, and if it could have persisted peacefully and steadily, we would not have taken this step. !”
"We don't rebel, and we will never rebel! We are just afraid. When others rebel, we don't even have a place to protect ourselves!"
"Chahar and Rehe are good. If Chahar is under control, Zhangjiakou can be controlled, and the Hetao area can also be affected!"
"Controlling Rehe Chengde means that from the top of Yanshan Mountain, we are suppressing the capital!"
"If we have more troops and control Chaoyang City, then Jinzhou will be under the control of our army, and we can look forward to Shengjing in the future!"
"It doesn't matter if you don't have enough money... I still have money here that can be exchanged, so you can take it all!"
While Ci'an was talking, a palace maid held out ten lacquer boxes. After opening them, the jewels inside were all treasured by the Queen Mother.
