It took eight days for Emperor Qianlong's decree to reach Fukang'an's hands.
It originally followed the rules of the Qing Dynasty.
The Kuai Ma Express from Beijing to Guangzhou can be reached within six days.
But there is no way.
When the postmen carrying the message set off from Beijing.
The news we received was that Master Fukang Anfu was leading troops to suppress Zhaoqing.
When he arrived in Ganzhou, he got the news.
Zhaoqing Mansion has been lost.
Fukangan retreated to Wuzhou in one breath.
In addition, Shaozhou Prefecture has also been occupied by the Ming army.
The rebels of the Tiandihui caused chaos in southern Fujian, eastern Guangdong, and western Guangdong.
So we can only take a detour through Chenzhou, enter Guangxi, and then go south to Wuzhou.
The decree to summon Fukang'an back to Beijing was delivered to him.
Fukangan looked over and over at the imperial edict in his hand.
"It's just a recall to Beijing, isn't it just to take off the top and put it in a prison car?"
Fukang'an himself felt that something was a little strange.
Even if he is Emperor Qianlong's favorite.
It is such a big sin to throw away Guangdong.
Not beheading is already a sign of great favor from the emperor.
Is he just leaving his job and returning to Beijing now?
And only the official position of the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi is gone.
I didn’t say what to do with my position as First Class Jiayong Zhongrui Gong and Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Manchuria with a Yellow Flag?
"Sir, are you going to watch the Zhongyong Camp's training this afternoon?"
A sturdy man next to him reminded him.
Fukangan pondered for a moment after hearing the words, then stood up and spoke.
"Shi Zhai, the training of the Zhongyong Camp cannot be abolished. Lord Agui will lead the troops south to build the Ganzhou Camp. When the time comes, I will write a letter recommending you to serve under his account. The country is in trouble and we miss good generals. With Shi Zhai's talents, you will definitely make achievements on the battlefield. , shine on the lintel."
The strong man called Shi Zhai was named Yang Yuchun.
Born in martial arts.
He is both brave and strategic, and he is quite methodical in commanding and training troops.
Fukang'an was promoted when Gansu was in chaos, and then moved to Gansu, Taiwan and other places.
Now he is the chief training officer of Zhongyong Battalion.
"Sir, teach me, keep your humble position in mind, and the training in the Zhongyong Camp will never go to waste!"
Yang Yuchun took a deep breath and said.
Fukangan patted Yang Yuchun on the shoulder and encouraged him again.
Then he took a hundred geshes with him and rode northward.
.......
"Your name is Yang Fang?"
Former governor's office of Guangdong.
It is now the temporary residence of the Ming Palace.
In a temporarily renovated study room of Prince Ming.
Zhu Daohua looked at the young military attache who was tied up in front of him.
He has a square face, broad shoulders, and a strong body. He is seven or eight feet tall. He looks like an NBA basketball player.
A pair of iron arms are extremely thick, and the calluses on the fingers of his right hand indicate that he must be a good archer.
Even in the 21st century, this kind of figure is enough to be called "the most amazing thing in the world"
What's more, it was at the end of the Qianlong Dynasty when people were generally malnourished.
In fact, the reason why Zhu Daohua paid attention to him was.
It was because of the battle outside Guangzhou.
This man named Yang Fang, who was from the Green Camp of Guizhou Province of the Qing Army, always fought alone against several Ming Army soldiers without falling behind. In the end, he was knocked unconscious by a grenade before being tied up by Wu Hua Da.
Such a "warrior in the army" would naturally be tied up and shown to King Ming.
As a result, when asked about the name, Zhu Daohua felt that it sounded familiar.
When I watched the movie "The Opium War".
But isn't there a Guizhou general named Yang Fang who appeared on the scene?
Moreover, Yang Fang and Yang Yuchun were both famous generals in the mid-Qing Dynasty, and were called "Two Yangs".
Although Boss Zhu doesn’t quite remember Yang Fang’s specific abilities.
But he knew the name.
I met a historical figure.
Boss Zhu is also interested in taking a look.
At this glance.
This young man is indeed very popular with Boss Zhu.
This physique.
It's definitely no problem to become a wrestler or simply play in the CBA.
such a pity.
This era did not give him the opportunity to make big money.
But as a military attache, this image is definitely qualified.
"I'm Yang Fang, the one with the hammer. What's your ability to injure people with bombs? If you have the ability, let me go. It's hand and foot kung fu or weapon kung fu. It's up to you! I'll hit as many as you want!"
Yang Fang rolled her eyes and shouted loudly.
Boss Zhu couldn't help but shake his head and smile when he saw this.
"You are a smart man, so don't pretend to be stupid. I ask you, do you want to serve me, or do you want to die serving Qianlong?"
Yang Fang closed her mouth after hearing this and remained silent.
"Forget it, let's go to the Army and Navy Officers Academy first and learn some skills. In the future, whether you are in the south or the north, you will have the qualifications to enter, right?"
Zhu Daohua waved his hand.
Someone took Yang Fang down.
A young boy who is only nineteen years old.
In the terms of later generations.
The three views of belonging have not yet been fully established.
Boss Zhu doesn't have to be the same as him.
Yang Fang blinked after being pulled out.
Is this the end?
"Hey, Yang Fang, are you going to the Army and Navy Officers Academy for further studies?"
"go!"
Why not?
I, Yang Fang, have learned a skill so that I can be loyal to the king in the future.
As for who you are loyal to...
We'll see what happens then.
Meeting a historical celebrity is just a small episode in Zhu Daohua's busy life these days.
There is so much that needs to be done these days.
Boss Zhu keeps spinning nine-nine-six times every day.
Even applauding Shi Xianggu, who was eager to get pregnant, was a little slack.
However, as Fukang'an's troops withdrew from Guangdong, counties in northern Guangdong, eastern Guangdong, western Guangdong, as well as Guangzhou Prefecture and Huizhou Prefecture all hung up the sun and moon flag.
This area of Guangdong Province has been nominally owned by the Ming Dynasty - of course only in name, because except for Guangzhou Prefecture, Zhaoqing Prefecture, and Shaozhou Prefecture.
Jiaying Prefecture and Chaozhou in northeastern and eastern Guangdong, as well as most places in Huizhou Prefecture, as well as Luoding Prefecture, Gaozhou Prefecture, Leizhou Prefecture, and Lianzhou Prefecture in western Guangdong were all "liberated" by the heroes of the Tiandihui.
besides.
Qiongzhou Prefecture, which is still under Guangdong, is temporarily under the rule of the Qiongzhou Prefecture of the Qing Dynasty because it is separated by a strait. However, this Qiongzhou Prefecture cannot receive naval assistance from the Qing Dynasty.
It was only a matter of time before he finally surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.
This way.
The entire Guangdong basically came under the command of King Ming.
Although it is only a small part of the world.
But Guangdong as a whole is also a large province with a population of 18 million.
In terms of population, it is only a little less than the Jiangnan provinces.
Compared with the northern provinces and southwestern provinces,
Guangdong's population is already quite dense.
Zhu Daohua's new Ming Dynasty is different from those new dynasties in history.
He won Guangdong without much war, and Guangdong's population suffered no loss.
Those countries in history that experienced a sharp decline in population after successive wars. By the time the dynasty was established, the land was vast and sparsely populated. After the war, the contradiction between man and land was unprecedentedly alleviated. The dynasty was able to recuperate and develop its population, and its national power steadily increased. As the population increased, When the per capita land decreases and the contradiction between man and land becomes more acute than ever before, it is time for the dynasty to perish...
This is the curse of the cycle of chaos in Chinese history.
But this time, because the Ming army was too powerful.
The two sides had absolutely no conditions for a tug-of-war that would lead to a massive reduction in population—in fact, King Zhu Ming did not want a tug-of-war that would consume the population.
The elimination of the Manchu Qing was only a small goal.
The key is how to use China's population of nearly 40 million to occupy as much territory as possible.
Occupy more living space for future generations of China.
If there was a war between the Ming and Qing Dynasties, a large number of people would be lost.
This is really not worth the gain.
Therefore, Boss Zhu did not immediately integrate the Tiandi Assembly Halls in various places and expand the army aggressively. He also sent his troops northward because he was worried that wars in various places would lead to a sharp decrease in population-these populations would be used to fill the colonies in the future.
How can it be wasted in a civil war?
"Your Majesty, Governor Luo and his party have arrived."
"Please! Invite Gu Song, Qian Heng, Zhang Hong, Minister of the Navy, Zhao Si, Minister of the Army, Mr. Napoleon, General Counsel of the General Staff Department, etc."
Luo Fangbo, Ye Daoqi, Gu Song, Qian Heng, these are the cobblers around Zhu Daohua.
Now that Zhu Daohua has taken over Guangzhou, the status of these cobblers has naturally risen, far beyond their status in history.
"By the way, invite Zhao Wen and Xue Siyuan too."
Zhu Daohua thought for a moment and added.
Zhao Wen and Xue Siyuan were demoted.
And the officials of the Qing Dynasty must also be corrupt.
If Zhu Daohua had a mysophobia, I'm afraid he wouldn't pay much attention to it.
But now that Zhu Daohua has reached his current position, he no longer thinks in terms of pure morality and character.
He needs to think more politically.
The landowners, scholar-bureaucrats, and literati in the entire Han region were basically serving as officials for the Qing Dynasty.
Is it possible for me to exclude such a huge class that controls most of the land in Han Dynasty from political power?
Not to mention that most of the cultural people in China today belong to this class.
Just talk about their numbers and the resources they have.
If not handled well.
That is creating a very troublesome enemy for yourself.
on the contrary.
If this class can be guided to a certain extent.
They are very likely to become a positive force in promoting the entire China to enter industrialization - in fact, the developed countries in later generations, except for those colonial countries that have experienced the colonial era, the later developed economies are basically Confucian culture circled countries or regions.
This fully demonstrates that Confucian culture can actually be transformed into a lower-class culture that adapts to industrialization.
Moreover, Zhu Daohua also carefully studied the development of Confucian culture during this period-this is something that is constantly changing with the requirements of the king.
Let Confucius take a look at the modern Confucianism. If he only sees the braids on the back of these people's heads, Confucius will tell you to listen to the Tao in the morning, and you will die in the evening. If you see it in the morning, you will not be allowed to do it in the evening. Death is considered a mercy of Confucius.
The emperor controlled the imperial examination, and the Confucian students would study whatever was tested in the imperial examination. This system was extremely enjoyable for the emperor.
Isn’t it easy for Boss Zhu to mix hundreds of millions of private goods in the imperial examination?
Therefore, it was impossible for Zhu Daohua to reject these surrendered ministers of the Qing Dynasty.
They will definitely have a place in the new Ming Dynasty in the future.
"There are also Wu Dunyuan, Lu Jiguang, Pan Shaoguang and others from the Thirteenth Line, Wu Bingdao, the chief of the Wu family of Gaoyao, Chen Zhengen, the chief of the Chen family of Sanshui, and Ye Wenkun, the chief of the Ye family of Xiangshan, etc. are also called."
Senior civil and military officials from the Ming Dynasty, representatives of surrendered Qing Dynasty officials, representatives of businessmen, and members of the three major Guangdong clans who first took refuge in the Ming Dynasty gathered together.
This closed-door meeting is naturally to determine many issues for Guangdong in the future.
After Luo Fangbo and his party came from Lanfang and Qian Heng, the governor of the Strait Governor's Mansion, arrived.
Military Advisor Gu Song began to briefly introduce the current situation in Guangdong.
"Everyone, except for Qiongzhou Prefecture, the Sun and Moon Flag has been hung in Guangdong Province. However, only the three prefectures of Guangzhou Prefecture, Zhaoqing Prefecture, and Shaozhou Prefecture are really under the direct control of the Ming Palace. The other counties are from various places. The volunteers expelled the local officials, occupied the county seat, and declared their allegiance."
"This is a problem."
Zhu Daohua said with his forehead.
"Yes, now the Qing government can't produce many capable soldiers and horses in the south, unless they have a way to mobilize the elites of the green camp and the Eight Banners from the north to the south in a short period of time... But at this distance, the army It’s impossible to catch up without traveling south for a year and a half.”
Since ancient times, it has not been easy to move troops from the north to the south.
Especially large-scale transfers.
First of all, logistical supply is a big problem.
The Qing army could complete its assembly, mobilization, training, and then go into battle within one year.
This is already a very optimistic estimate.
"If our army has no plans to go north for the time being, then the rebels who are entrenched in dozens of counties in northeastern Guangdong, eastern Guangdong, and western Guangdong must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise this Guangdong area will be tortured by them sooner or later, but it is not easy to recruit them. Easy, the total number of these people is two to three hundred thousand. If they were all regular troops, the military salary expenditure alone would cost millions of dollars a month. We don’t have that much money to throw at them now!"
This is what Gu Song is most worried about.
The current situation is pretty good. There are basically no large-scale forces opposing the Ming Dynasty in Guangdong.
The most troublesome thing now is the so-called 200,000 to 300,000 volunteers gathered in various halls of the Tiandihui.
Of course Boss Zhu is very rich.
But there are not enough to support so many underworld armed forces.
And now that Guangdong is initially set, there are too many places to spend money.
If all the money is used to feed these gangsters, it will really be more than worth the gain.
But how to solve these underworld armed forces is also a big trouble. On the one hand, they are under the banner of Ming Dynasty. On the other hand, these underworld armed forces certainly do not have much military-level restraint. If they are not solved as soon as possible, I am afraid there will be a large-scale local epidemic. of robbery.
"How much does it cost per month now? How much money do you have to spend to deal with the monsters in these places?"
When Gu Song heard this, he counted on his fingers: "Agricultural taxes are exempted this year and next year. The current income mainly comes from the shipping tax on Batam Island and the confiscated properties of corrupt officials and local tyrants and evil gentry. In addition, there is Lan Lan." Fang Province’s agricultural tax, mineral tax, and tribute income from various Southeast Asian countries, the monthly income is more than 1.3 million Ming yuan, and the expenses are at least more than 1.5 million yuan, mainly the cost of war It’s too big, and officials’ salaries, etc., are now being issued in Batam.”
This rebellion is indeed a waste of money.
Now he only has three brigades of land forces under his command. Counting the militia guards at Lanfang, the total does not exceed 30,000 people.
As for the navy, there are three major fleets: the Northern Expedition Fleet, the Strait Fleet, and the Nanyang Fleet, with a total number of almost tens of thousands.
The expenditure of an army of 40,000 would eat up almost half of the income.
Fortunately, HSBC defrauded tens of millions of taels of silver deposits, otherwise this would really not be possible.
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.

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.
