"Failed..."
Fukangan closed his eyes in pain.
The army was defeated like a mountain.
We have this little force on hand now.
We can no longer defend Guangzhou.
Where to go now?
"Commander Commander, withdraw! The Eight Banners garrison in Guangzhou and the Zhongyong Battalion cannot be abandoned here."
Sun Qijiao sighed and said.
"Where to go?" Fukangan asked instinctively.
"Go to Zhaoqing!" Sun Qijiao gritted his teeth and said.
"Zhaoqing? Can Zhaoqing hold on?"
Fukang'an himself has no confidence.
"If you can't hold it, go to Wuzhou!" Sun Qijiao stamped his foot, "Commander Commander, we must have some troops on hand, otherwise Ni Ming will not just take all of Guangdong!"
Fukangan was shocked.
That's right.
Now it is certain that Zhu Daohua will take Guangdong.
But what if Fukang'an also spent all the 5,000 Eight Banners and 10,000 Zhongyong Battalions in his hands.
Zhu Daohua's appetite is probably not just Guangdong.
Although the 5,008 Banners and the 10,000 Zhongyong Battalion were unable to withstand the Ming army head-on.
But that’s not how wars are fought.
There is a way to play that cannot be beaten.
As long as Fukang'an has these 15,000 troops at hand, he can force the local clans to recruit people to practice bravery when they retreat to Guangxi.
Pull up another force.
Then you can deal with the Ming army in the south.
If the Ming army is greedy and does not have enough troops, it wants to swallow up the southern provinces.
It depends on whether they have the appetite - they can't fight head-on, but they can harass, sneak attack the supply lines, and target Ni Ming's other territories.
In the past, Ni Ming's territory was as far away as Southeast Asia.
The Qing Dynasty is not enough.
Now that the Ming Dynasty has taken Guangdong, it is the task of defending the territory.
by that time.
The Qing army also had room to display its capabilities.
"That's what Tianquan said! The governor was almost confused!"
Fukangan called Sun Qijiao by his cousin.
"We have lost this time, but the Qing Dynasty has not lost yet! As a guilty man, we have to defend the southern provinces for the Qing Dynasty and block the traitors in Guangdong!"
"When the situation calms down, I will return to Beijing to plead guilty..."
Fukangan glanced at the defeated troops that were still coming.
A long sigh.
Taking the Eight Banners cavalry and the 10,000 Zhongyong Battalion, they rushed towards Zhaoqing.
.......
"Fukangan has withdrawn!"
Zhu Daohua took a deep breath, his tone rather regretful.
"There is nothing we can do about this. We only have more than 10,000 troops, and it is impossible to divide our troops to pursue them! The top priority now is to clean up the battlefield as soon as possible, and then hold Guangzhou in our hands first, and then divide our troops to capture Shaozhou Prefecture and Huizhou Prefecture. Get it, and you will have the essence of the entire Guangdong!"
Napoleon said from the side.
Zhu Daohua nodded.
"In any case, this is a big win! It's only a matter of time before we get the whole of Guangdong. It's impossible for Fukang'an to dare to go against me in Guangdong. The next question is how to govern Guangdong."
Zhu Daohua put down the telescope in his hand.
Gu Song on the side smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Guangdong has a large population, but it is divided into three major ethnic groups: Guangfu, Hakka, and Chaozhou. The Hakka people in Jiaying Prefecture are naturally supporters of the king, and the king also has many Chaozhou soldiers and generals. , the next step is just how to rectify Guangfu."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. These Guangfu people are not crazy lunatics who are not afraid of death. Your Majesty has given you both kindness and power, and you have the great cause of reviving China. How can the Han people in Guangfu not vote?"
Zhao Si, Minister of the Ministry of War, said.
Zhu Daohua smiled when he heard this: "It is difficult to conquer the world, and it is even harder to govern the world. It is difficult to sort out all the problems in Guangdong, let alone the whole world. After winning Guangdong this time, we will stop here. We will work hard in Guangdong for two years, stabilize our rear, organize and train our troops, and then plan our plans south of the Yangtze River!"
Honestly.
Boss Zhu really had the idea of settling the provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Jiangxi, and Hunan together.
But he finally suppressed his greed.
First of all, from the perspective of military strength.
Now I only have 10,000 troops on hand.
If the territory is too large, the defense of these territories will be very problematic.
Secondly, there is a lack of reliable cadres on hand.
Guangdong is different from Lanfang.
Guangdong is Han Dynasty.
Then it cannot be as rough as Lanfang's administrative system - Lanfang needs to expand in Borneo, so the local authority is very large.
To pool Guangdong's resources and start the road to industrialization, it is impossible for the central government to allocate too much power to local governments.
A top-to-bottom administrative system is a must.
It is impossible for the imperial power not to go to the countryside.
Of course, to what extent are the pipelines, how should they be managed, and who should be in charge of them?
This is another big problem.
At the same time, any reform will trigger a backlash from interest groups.
Zhu Daohua knew very well that if there was a large-scale rule and reform, the resistance would be relatively greater.
The likelihood of success will become smaller.
Therefore, he still adhered to the plan before sending troops: to base himself in Guangdong, build a system, and guide funds in Guangdong to invest in industry.
With the Nanyang trade under control, Guangdong has no shortage of markets and raw materials needed for industrialization.
As for funding...
There are many wealthy people in Guangdong.
The key is how to get these old wealthy people to invest their money.
Just thinking about these things gives me a headache.
Zhu Daohua shook his head.
His eyes have been set on Guangzhou City.
Enter Guangzhou City.
It is also time to openly display the brand of the Ming Dynasty emperor.
It's a drama between the Northern Qing Dynasty and the Southern Ming Dynasty with the Qing Dynasty.
...........
"Failed? Why did you lose so quickly?!"
Guangdong Governor's Yamen.
After receiving the news, Guo Shixun stared with horror on his face.
A hundred thousand troops.
How long has it been?
Although I lost for a while before.
But this kind of big battle with tens of thousands of troops.
No matter what, they have to go back and forth for months, testing each other, and then they start fighting.
Moreover, it is impossible to determine the winner in a big fight at once.
None last more than a year and a half.
How could a hundred thousand troops be wiped out so quickly?
What now?
Only yesterday did Guo Shixun receive a handwritten letter from Fukangan, asking him to prepare to evacuate the Eight Banners' family members to Zhaoqing Mansion.
Less than a day.
Huangpu camp was broken.
One hundred thousand green soldiers were defeated.
The news that Fukang'an led the Eight Banners cavalry and the Zhongyong Battalion to retreat from Zhaoqing reached the Guangdong governor's office.
This is really terrible news.
"How is this possible? This is an army of 100,000 people!"
Guo Shixun looked in horror at Guangdong Supervisor Guerrilla Lin Guoliang who reported to him.
On the side, Zhao Wen, the prefect of Guangzhou, and Xue Siyuan, the inspector-general, also looked shocked.
A hundred thousand troops marched under the walls of Guangzhou, with sufficient food and supplies.
Why did it disappear within a day?
Are you fighting the Ming army or the Prince of Hell?
It’s too unbelievable.
"Sir, the anti-Ming artillery was so sharp that it was unbelievable. Our army was caught off guard. The army collapsed like an avalanche. It was a complete defeat..."
Recalling yesterday's battle.
Lin Guoliang couldn't help but shudder.
"Yang Da... Yang Liufang, the thief, and more than 70 Guangdong Green Camp military attachés all surrendered to the Ming thief. The Green Camp troops were shocked, and they were bombarded by thunder, and they collapsed all of a sudden."
A green camp military attache who fled back to the city said with a mournful face.
"Yang Liu has been favored by the country for his whole life, but he actually surrendered, shameless!"
Zhao Wen, the prefect of Guangzhou, scolded him.
The Guangdong Inspector Xue Siyuan on the side also echoed.
But the two men looked at each other.
Tacitly.
All the Eight Banners of the Han Army, including Yang Liufang, surrendered.
Moreover, his family members were among the family members of the Eight Banners who were evacuated in the previous batch.
The people in Guangdong definitely don’t dare to kill.
It must be reported to Beijing and let the emperor make a decision.
But so many Green Camp officers surrendered.
And if nothing unexpected happens, more Green Camp military attaches will surrender after this battle.
Until then.
Will the imperial court kill the family members of these military attachés?
I am afraid...
Zhao Wen is a local official.
Naturally, it cannot be withdrawn.
The inspector-general Xue Siyuan also had to stay at the governor's Yamen.
Guangzhou couldn't defend it at first sight.
Until then...
They had only two choices: hang themselves and commit suicide to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty, or surrender to the Ming Dynasty.
If Yang Liufang can surrender.
Maybe....
Neither of them spoke.
Right now.
Wu Dunyuan, the general merchant of the Thirteenth Bank, and Fang Chu, the clerk of the Guangdong Customs Customs House, came in a hurry.
"Sir, all the money from the Thirteenth Bank Bank and the Guangdong Customs Bank must be transported away to avoid losing it to the enemy!"
Guo Shixun felt a headache when he heard this.
If the Eight Banners' family members want to leave, they will definitely have to take Xinruan with them before they can escape.
If you bring the official bank from Thirteenth Bank Bank and Guangdong Customs Bank.
How can we leave?
Needless to say, there is no need to mention the bank bank of Thirteen Banks.
This is the capital of thirteen lines of sea trade.
It has not been opened in the past six months, and everything is piled in the bank.
There are more than eight million taels.
The Guangdong Customs also has a lot of money in its treasury.
Last fall's tax package and this spring's tax package are both here.
There are more than three million taels.
besides.
As Guangdong is preparing for the war with Ni Ming, it needs to purchase military supplies such as ordnance, grain and grass, and also purchases muskets and artillery from foreign merchants.
Therefore, the Guangdong Governor's Yamen also received Qianlong's decree and transferred last year's Guangdong local tax revenue to the Guangdong Customs Treasury.
As a result, the Guangdong Customs Bank accumulated four million taels of official silver.
The totals add up.
A full twelve million taels.
If so much money had been robbed by the Ming army.
Then Qianlong would probably be so angry that he would go to heaven.
But 12 million taels of silver is more than 900,000 catties.
It would be better if there is water transportation.
But now on the Pearl River, there are either ships from the Tiandi Hui flying the Sun and Moon flag, or warships from the Ming Army.
How to travel safely by water.
If you go by land.
That also requires escort by officers and soldiers.
Otherwise, the underworld on the road will have to stage a drama that robs the birthday card.
Moreover, more than 900,000 kilograms would require a large number of vehicles and horses to transport.
During this urgency.
Where can I go to be escorted by soldiers and horses, and where can I be transported by vehicles?
"Sir, it's best to deposit your money in HSBC now!"
Wu Dunyuan said.
"Deposit to HSBC? Is it reliable?"
Wu Dunyuan is a big businessman, and he also knows what the most important thing is for a bank: "Sir, the most important thing for a bank is credit. It is said that HSBC is the largest bank in England. If you deposit money in it, even if you lose your money in the future, you can still hope to go to HSBC." The head office wants the money back."
"Besides, HSBC is not reliable, so it's better than just throwing money to the traitors."
"Yes, yes, sir, this is more than ten million taels of wasted money. This money is in the hands of the traitor..."
After hearing this, Guo Shixun also knew the seriousness of the matter.
Let’s take a step back.
Even if the money was taken away by foreigners.
It's better than Zhu Daohua snatching it away.
The money was given to Ming Ni.
Might as well give it to the friendly countries of England.
And this is still a deposit, not a direct payment.
"Now people in Guangzhou are panicking. Will HSBC still accept deposits?"
Guo Shixun asked.
After thinking for a while, he asked, "How should the interest be calculated?"
"Now there is no interest, and many businessmen have transferred their money to the HSBC bank in the suburbs..."
"is it safe?"
"It seems safe for the time being. The Ming army has not touched the HSBC bank. It seems that Rodriguez is not lying. Ni Ming really does not want to offend the British country."
"Okay! Go and fetch Rodriguez, and I'll talk to him."
........
The talks between the two parties were naturally enjoyable for both host and guest.
That's what Rodriguez was here for.
So there are no obstacles to negotiations.
and.
If HSBC can really absorb the treasury bank of the Thirteenth Bank and the official bank of Guangdong Customs.
That will be a great improvement to the credibility of HSBC.
Even excluding the fact that the big boss of HSBC is Zhu Daohua.
The Qing court was also a big customer.
This is equivalent to using the credit of the Qing court to endorse HSBC.
To get these deposits.
Rodriguez generously gave one point of interest on the deposit.
Guo Shixun was quite satisfied.
Then Rodriguez sent people to take over the bank warehouse of the Thirteenth Bank and the warehouse of Guangdong Customs, and put on the sign of HSBC - Fukang'an originally did not allow HSBC to enter Guangzhou City, but now it is in chaos, and there are rules and so on. That’s no need.
Guo Shixun and other local officials in Guangdong just want to get rid of this hot potato.
Bring proof of deposit.
Retreat to Zhaoqing.
Of course, it was impossible to hide the news that HSBC directly occupied the Thirteenth Bank's bank and the Guangdong Customs Bank. It was impossible to hide it. This was a huge advertisement.
Even the money of the Qing court was deposited in HSBC Bank.
The origin of HSBC Bank suddenly became the most concerned issue for the panic-stricken wealthy households in Guangzhou.
Soon there were rumors.
It is said that HSBC is a large bank of the Western superpower England, and behind it is the Guizhou wealthy family of England.
Zhu Daohua's Daohua Trading Company in Europe was an important source of support for the Ming army's military expenditures, so Zhu Daohua did not dare to offend the British country, otherwise his Daohua Trading Company would not be able to open in Europe.
Therefore, the HSBC bank has such a powerful eye that it even dares to take advantage of Guangdong's official bank. It is certain that the Ming army will not dare to embarrass HSBC bank.
After this news came out.
Immediately, the rich and wealthy people in Guangzhou were interested.
If there is war and chaos, the money at home will be in trouble.
Although I heard that the Ming army has strict military discipline.
But who can guarantee that there won’t be one or two groups of stragglers taking desperate risks?
Or send it to bank insurance.
All of a sudden.
The wealthy businessmen in Guangzhou rushed to place their savings deposits at the HSBC Bank, the head office of the Thirteenth Bank.
Although there is no interest, when withdrawing money, it must be converted into the currency designated by HSBC.
But everyone still flocks to it.
...
Guo Shixun, who carried the Guangdong Customs Bank Deposit Certificate, evacuated from Guangzhou with a large number of Eight Banners and Green Camp family members.
When leaving Guangzhou City.
Guo Shixun looked back at this southern portal.
The door of the Qing Dynasty was thus held in Ni Ming's hands.
The peaceful and prosperous era of the glorious Qing Dynasty is gone.
After a long time.
Guo Shixun turned around and was about to get on the sedan.
Suddenly I remembered something: "Where is Wu Dunyuan? Why didn't you see him?"
The officials on the left and right looked at it.
"Wu Dunyuan is missing. I don't think I saw him leaving the city."
"What are you doing if you don't leave the city? Do you want to surrender to the thieves?"
Guo Shixun's face became increasingly gloomy.
Wu Dunyuan and Shisanhang are both businessmen who make money through Guangzhou Port.
I should have thought of this a long time ago.
Think of this.
Guo Shixun squeezed the deposit certificate in his hand.
That foreign businessman from HSBC... is also a businessman.
After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly stood up from the bed. If you want to read the latest chapters, please download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads. The website has not updated the latest chapter content, but the Xingxing Reading APP has updated the latest chapter content.
He took a big breath of fresh air, his chest trembling.
Confused, confused, and all kinds of emotions came to my mind.
Where is this?
Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously observed his surroundings, and then became even more confused.
A single dormitory?
Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.
And my body...how could I not have any injuries at all?
With doubts, Shi Yu's eyes quickly swept across the room, and finally his eyes rested on a mirror beside the bed.
The mirror showed his current appearance. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked very handsome.
But the problem is, this is not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.
My previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.
And now, no matter how you look, this appearance is that of a high school student...
This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him that the operation was successful...
The body and appearance have changed. This is not a matter of surgery or not, but magic.
He turned into a completely different person!
Could it be...that he traveled through time?
In addition to the mirror placed by the bedside, which was obviously not feng shui-friendly, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.
Shi Yu picked it up and took a look. The title of the book instantly silenced him.
"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Beginner Breeders"
"Postpartum Care of Pet Pets"
"Evaluation Guide for Interracial Beast-Eared Girls"
Shi Yu:? ? ?
The names of the first two books are pretty normal, but what happened to the last one?
"cough."
Shi Yu looked solemnly and stretched out his hand, but his arm soon stiffened.
Just when he was about to open the third book and see what it was about, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a large number of memories came flooding back.
Icefield City.
Pet animal breeding base.
Intern pet breeder. The website will be closed soon. Download the Star Reading app to provide you with Qianlong: Qing Dynasty by Mr. Mu Mu Mu Ah? Where is my Qing Dynasty?
