After Zhao Jingxian said this, these confidants knelt down and shouted: "Daotai, Daotai!"

Zhao Jingxian is a real tough character. Although he is still wandering around, he has already calmed down: "If I want me Zhao Jingxian to survive, there is only one way to survive, that is, tie me up and send me to Liu Juehou!"

He sighed: "The reason why I lost to Liu Juehu is that I have only calculated less. Foreigners naturally hope that trade between Huzhou and Shanghai will be smooth, but this unimpeded trade method is not only to solve Liu Juehu, but also to solve me, Zhao Jingxian, is also a way to solve me, miscalculation and miscalculation..."

He was right. Now it is time for raw silk and tea to be launched. Zhao Jingxian did this, so he naturally cut off his own way of wealth. Not only did he cut off the financial path of countless silk merchants, but he also cut off the financial path of Shanghainese people.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Yongyi was able to respond to the uprising in Huzhou City. Zhao Jingxian has been in Huzhou for many years and still beat the enemy, but Wang Yongyi has been calling for the high school.

This is exactly what is said that human calculations are worse than heaven’s calculations, but the confidants did not understand this truth. They just knelt on the ground and couldn’t get up. Zhao Jingxian continued to scold: “If you want to have a glimmer of hope, you should tie it up and send me to Liu Juehou!”

"That's Liu Juehu!" The group of confidants kneeling on the ground were all the closest people Wang Yongyi was, so someone said, "Daotai, that's Liu Juehu! Why don't we escape to Shanghai in the chaos!"

"I am a person who is a wise man in Huzhou Prefecture. What can I do if I escape to Shanghai!" Zhao Jingxian's words are very heroic now: "It is precisely because he is Liu Juehu that he dare not touch me, Zhao Jingxian. This is the only chance of life, hurry up!"

He urged, "If I fall into the hands of others, I will be dead!"

These confidants started crying, but they tied him up according to Zhao Jingxian's Ivory.

...

"Wang Yongyi surrendered the city?" Qu Jie repeatedly applauded: "It's so good. We have taken this Huzhou Prefecture!"

Zhu Dun next to him added: "Although I took it down, the aftermath is quite difficult!"

Whether it is Jiaxing or Huzhou, these two governments are very fat. Not to mention anything else, just the export of lake silk, according to Shanghai Customs statistics, Shanghai's annual raw silk export volume is about 22 million silver, and among these 22 million silver, the re-exported lake silk accounts for about 55%.

In other words, if you don’t count domestic sales, just exporting a single Hushi silk will exceed 10 million taels of silver in a year, not to mention other trade volumes. Just Huzhou Prefecture, as long as it is well managed, it can support the entire Hongjun.

In history, the popularity of Huzhou silk merchants continued until World War I, and it came to an end because the Japanese invented rayon and sold it back to China on a large scale.

However, the situation in Huzhou Prefecture is very complicated. You should know that after Zhao Jingxian's failure, not to mention anything else, there were as many as 10,000 wanderers in Huzhou Prefecture, and there were traditional gunship force.

Therefore, Qu Jie immediately said: "Catch Wang Yongyi. We have to capture both the aftermath. We must not only establish the township officials, but also use Wang Yongyi and others!"

Although Wang Yongyi is not from Huzhou, he now represents the interests of the prominent local tribes in Huzhou Prefecture. The commander Zhu Dun, next to him, also added: "Teacher Commander, now that Huzhou is down, can merchant ships with waterways be blocked be released?"

"You can let it go, you can let it go!" Qu Jie immediately replied, "That's naturally going to let it go!"

But the female leader Zhu Hailan spoke: "Don't rush to do this, we need to ask for instructions and check!"

She is now a very weak regiment commander, but in this battle in Huzhou, the infantry regiment she commanded performed well and finally consolidated her position.

But overall, even her infantry regiment has no official number now, and is waiting for Liu Chang to issue her official number from Hangzhou Prefecture, so she also pays special attention to expressing herself: "You know, this waterway is a huge profit!"

"Set up a card?" Qu Jie had already understood a little: "Captain Zhu can remind me that it is the season for silk tea trade. As long as you set up a checkpoint, it is not a problem to collect three or four hundred taels of silver a day. You have to find a reliable cadre!"

In history, the Taiping Army has benefited a lot from setting up a card for tax collection in Hangzhou, Jiahu. For example, Shengze Town, which was assigned to Xiushui, Jiaxing, where the township official Chen Zeshan collected taxes, and could receive four or five hundred taels of silver a day, but only two or three out of ten to the Taiping Army, while seven or eight out of ten were put into private pockets.

Although Qu Jie is a mediocre person, he also knows that such a tax card is definitely rich in wealth, and he must send reliable cadres. Zhu Dun also understands his fault: "Yes, why did you forget such a large amount of wealth!"

As he was talking, good news came from over there: "Someone captured Zhao Jingxian, the dog thief!"

...

"Zhao Jingxian?"

Liu Chang immediately obtained news of Zhao Jingxian capturing himself from Huzhou Prefecture, but Qu Jie did not dare to take the initiative to capture Zhao Jingxian, so he reported this together with the tax card issue.

Nan Bohang suggested next to him: "Check, Zhao Jingxian resisted our army in Huzhou, causing me to be under the military city for twenty days. He was extremely guilty and should be punished!"

Liu Chang didn't think so: "It's a prisoner with great consequences. Although he was extremely guilty, he had to ask whether he would surrender. If he was willing to surrender..."

He was thinking about Zhao Jingxian in history. In history, the Taiping Army did not break through Huzhou Prefecture until May 1862. It was almost 1860 that they entered Zhejiang, which was that Zhao Jingxian defended Huzhou for two years.

The Huzhou offensive and defensive battles and the famine caused by this can be said to be the main reason for the devastating population loss in Huzhou, and Zhao Jingxian, who was captured, performed very interestingly.

He refused the Taiping Army's surrender, but did not seek death like ordinary Qing officials. Instead, he was placed under house arrest by the Taiping Army for a year until Suzhou fell, and he officially committed suicide.

According to the people of the time, if he died on the day when Huzhou City was destroyed, he would be perfect. However, after a year of being captured, when the Taiping Army was defeated, he was seeking death. He seemed to be waiting for the success or failure of both sides.

Therefore, Liu Chang felt that although Zhao Jingxian was extremely guilty and openly resisted the Hongjun, it seemed that he could also be used by me. Especially if such a villain changed his position, the publicity effect would be absolutely amazing.

Someone later suggested: "Can you set up a card to collect taxes in Huzhou, and this is called Lijin on the Qing Yao side!"

From the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to the Republic of China, Lijin can be said to be the economic foundation of local finance and warlord politics. The pioneer was Lei Yijie of Jiangbei Daying. He claimed that he was the "culprit and condemned", which refers to the creation of Lijin himself. Now Jiangnan Daying and Hunan Army have set up card cards to collect taxes in their own statistical areas.

Liu Chang did not do this before. The key is that the three governments of Wenzhou and Taiwan are not areas with prosperous trade, and Ningshao and the two governments already have customs taxes. However, appropriately setting up tax cards in Hujia and the two governments will completely solve the economic problems of the Hongjun.

But Liu Chang was surprised: "Long girl, didn't I let you rest for a few more days? How is Tinglan's mood?"

Speaking of Shi Tinglan, Yang Changmei lowered her head and said softly: "I am Ao, but her suffering has just begun. But you men are busy with military affairs. Please pay more attention to her when you have time!"

"Yeah!" Liu Chang nodded. He knew that he was not a competent husband, but at this critical moment, he really couldn't take much time. He hugged Yang Changmei: "Just let me beg you!"

Yang Changmei looked very strong: "Let's talk about Huzhou's issue?"

She didn't want to point out her sad topic, but Liu Chang asked: "Are you familiar with Zhu Hailan?"

"My sister, ninth sister?" Yang Changmei said: "We have shared hardships together, at least she has survived, it's great!"

No matter how many storms Zhu Hailan has experienced, it is enough for her to survive. However, Liu Chang's next words surprised her: "Can Zhu Hailan be the leader? No, she is not suitable."

Liu Chang told that this was a foregone conclusion: "The old subordinates of Dongwang in Huzhou have been organized into one regiment after another, and the remaining personnel are organized into the ranks and battalions of the First Division. Qu Jie said that Zhu Hailan is more suitable."

"The Old Head of the East?" Yang Changmei had already understood: "You haven't broken them up?"

"No!" Nan Bohang interrupted: "Hangzhou Prefecture and Jiaxing Prefecture are also preparing to adapt according to this principle. Of course, it is impossible to organize a brigade!"

For the Hongjun, the number of the brigade is extremely precious. So far, including the newly established reserve brigade, there are only four numbers at the first level of the division brigade. It is impossible to organize the old troops of the Dongwang into a whole brigade without the expansion of a large number of old troops. Liu Chang continued: "I want to ask for your opinion on the adaptation of Hangzhou Prefecture, who is more suitable?"

"Including myself?" Yang Changmei already understood what Liu Chang meant: "I'm not suitable. I am Empress Yang, Princess Yang, not Commander Yang. If I were asked to recommend it, I would recommend the official Hongjun cadre."

Yang Changmei's answer was as expected by Liu Chang, but Liu Chang asked a question next: "What do you think of He Wenqing?"

"Let him come?" Yang Changmei was surprised: "He is not a basic cadre of our Hongjun."

"That's right!" Liu Chang replied to Yang Changmei: "It's because he is not a basic cadre of our Hongjun, so he wants to ask for your opinion."

He Wenqing is indeed not a basic cadre of the Hongjun, he is from Zhuji, Shaoxing Prefecture.

Zhuji County has had two extremes, one is Bao Lishen, who is Bao Village, and the other is He Wenqing. After the Hong Army entered Jinhua, he took the initiative to surrender to the Hong Army, made great contributions in the Ningshao Battle, and soon became the battalion commander of the ** Battalion.

But Yang Changmei didn't expect that Liu Chang actually asked He Wenqing to command the old subordinates of the East King. She quickly asked a question: "There is also an infantry regiment and a large camp in Hangzhou?" (To be continued)
