Chapter 49 I, I often think about my past

He Zhongtang has a famous saying: Any problem that money can solve is not a problem.

Is Zhu Ni's greatness due to his firearms? No matter how awesome his firearms are, can he still be superior to the imperial court? Yes, the firearms of our Tatar and Qing court are not good, but can't our Tatar and Qing court just buy Western ones?

Our Tatar Qing court is rich!

If you have money, it’s better to buy than to make.

After understanding the meaning of He Shen and Zhongtang, Agui and Mingxing hurriedly sent people to contact the missionaries in Jinan City, intending to see which one could provide me with enough firearms for the Qing Dynasty.

It is a pity that the Qing Dynasty has not signed treaties such as Nanjing and Xinchou during the Qian deaf old dog years, so there are far less missionaries in Jinan than after the first drug war.

If the number of missionaries is simply not large, then it doesn't matter. Anyway, He Zhongtang only needs firearms. A few more missionaries or a few missionaries will have no impact on He Zhongtang.

However, these missionaries in Jinan City also knew the news that Zhu Xiaosong, Chen Tailai and others rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and the imperial army successively attacked them but failed one after another.

This is very fatal.

Originally it only cost five taels of silver to buy a flintlock gun, but now it costs ten taels of silver.

Mingxing was immediately furious. After finding He Zhongtang, he complained: "It used to be five taels of silver for a fire gun, but now it has suddenly increased to ten taels of silver. Half of it has been lost here and there. Isn't this an open robbery?"

But He Shen calmly took a sip of the tea and said with a smile: "This will come faster than grabbing it!"

Mingxing was furious. After being silent for a long time, he tentatively asked: "Then... buy it? Or not?"

He Shen chuckled and said: "Then let me ask you, compared with my Taqing country and country, a little bit of silver, which one is lighter or which one is more valuable?"

Ming Xing smiled and replied: "Of course, our Taqing country and country are our top priority."

He Shen hummed and said with a meaningful smile: "That's right, it's just a temporary price increase. Buy it, of course you have to buy it. Not only do you have to buy it, but you have to buy more."

However, before Mingxing could go to the missionaries to discuss the purchase of firearms and preferential discounts for large quantities, several urgent reports disrupted the plans of Qian Deaf Laogou, He Zhongtang and others.

Lu Shuren once said a famous saying, which is: Thunder strikes a true filial son, a rich man is cruel, a hemp rope only picks out the finer places, and bad luck only seeks out misfortune.

As Chen Tailai, the governor of the river, rebelled, Zhu Xiaosong made more and more noise. Now not only Tian Wu in Gansu followed his lead in revolting against the Qing Dynasty, but even the Tiandihui in Da Liuqiu also raised its flag of rebellion.

Lin Shuangwen, the leader of Changhua County of Tiandihui, raised his army on the eighth day of March in the 49th year of Qian De's reign. In just a few days, it snowballed to tens of thousands. On the tenth day of March, Changhua was officially captured and Sun Jingsui, the prefect of Liuqiu, was killed.

, with Changhua County Government as its headquarters, he named himself "Governor of Ming Dynasty and Ryukyu".

On March 11, Li Tong led his troops to respond to the North Road attack, killing fellow magistrates in Tamsui, and then went north to capture Hsinchu Zhuqiang City. Lin Shuangwen went south to attack Zhuluo and other places.

Daji was killed, and Fengshan Tiandihui took the lead. Zizhuang Datian also gathered people and raised troops to respond.

By March 15th, the entire Ryukyu Islands, except for Ryukyu Prefecture in the south, Zhuluo, and the central seaport of Lukang, fell into the hands of the Tiandihui. Chang Qing, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, heard of the change and urgently sent Fuzhou General Hengrui to Fujian.

Huang Shijian, the admiral of the Navy, and Ren Chengen, the admiral of the Fujian land route, led 4,000 officers and soldiers to conquer the Tiandihui.

However, this time Lin Shuangwen's incident did not pay attention to military discipline at all, nor did it engage in Jianyuan's "Shun Tian" as in history. Instead, it completely imitated Zhu Xiaosong's killing of officials and releasing grain in Meng Lianggu.

, the routine of dividing land and setting up farmers' associations was a replica of Xiao Meng Lianggu, so the people of Da Liuqiu did not resist Lin Shuangwen like in history, but instead rushed to lead Lin Shuangwen's way.

What makes Qian Deafangou and He Zhongtang even more distressed is that in addition to the Tiandihui in Da Liuqiu, even Zeng Cheng, the nearby magistrate of Tai'an Prefecture, also raised the anti-flag and opened Tai'an Prefecture City with great fanfare.

He opened the gate and welcomed the Meng Lianggu rebels into the city. By the way, he also dedicated the Taishan Palace to the Meng Lianggu rebels.

If Lin Shuangwen of Daliuqiu can still be regarded as a high-ranking emperor, and Qian deaf old dog, He Zhongtang and others can still pretend to be stupid, then the prefect of Tai'an near Jinan will follow the rebellion, which is tantamount to going directly to Qian

The deaf old dog was slapped on the face, and the deaf old dog Qian couldn't even pretend not to see it.

Qian Deafangou was confused at that time.

After he angrily called He Zhongtang and others to the palace hall, Qian Deafangou threw the table and benches and became furious: "Tell me, one of you, what is going on!"

"Then what is Zhu Ni's background? Why did he rebel? Chen Tailai! Bagua Sect! White Lotus Sect! Heaven and Earth Society! And Tian Wu from Gansu! Why are they rebelling against each other one after another! Can any of you tell me!

"

He’s his mother!

In Shandong, there is only Zhu Ni plus Chen Tailai, in Hubei there is the White Lotus Sect, in Gansu there is only Tian Wu, even if Lin Shuangwen from Liuqiu is added, there are only four places where there are rebels, but why

Just give people the feeling of my tartar pills?

It felt so damn good, but my boyfriend lost electricity!

Facing Qian Deaf Old Dog who was burning with anger, He Zhongtang lowered his head and looked at each other with A Gui and Ming Xing, then together they flicked their horseshoe sleeves, knelt down and worshiped: "You deserve to die!"

Qian Deafangou suddenly became even angrier and shouted: "What I want is not that you kneel here to plead guilty, but that one of you can tell me what happened to that man named Zhu and the rebellions in front of us here and there.

thing!"

He Shen knelt down and said: "Long live Lord, please calm down. I have sent people to contact Xiyi. I think it will take some time to solve the problem of blunderbuss and artillery. By then, whether it is Zhu Ni, Chen Tailai, or other places

All rebellions can be defeated in one battle!"

However, Qian Deafangou was completely confused. Not only did he ignore He Shen's consolation, but he angrily ordered He Zhongtang: "Send the message! Let General Shengjing lead the troops into the pass! Let Zhili Eight Banners and Green Camp

Come to Shandong, I want to lead the expedition in person!"

He Shen was immediately confused.

No matter what the outcome is when others lead troops to quell the rebellion, it is everyone else's problem. If Qian Deafangou personally leads the troops to quell the rebellion, everyone will be happy if they win, but if they lose...

He Shen knelt down and persuaded: "Long live Lord, please calm down. It's just a few rebels. Why should Lord Long live be so angry? If the anger breaks the dragon's body, those rebels will be very happy. When the time comes,

The slaves still feel sad."

After venting his anger by beating him up just now, Qian Deafangou's anger had somewhat subsided. He snorted angrily and ordered: "Okay, everyone, get up."

He Shenmin agreed, climbed up from the ground, and went to Qian Deafangou's side. He assured with a flattering smile: "Don't worry, Long Live Lord, in two months at most, all these rebellions can be wiped out."

Qian Deaf, the old dog, snorted coldly and said: "Two months? I don't even want to wait for half a month now! According to my decree, the Eight Banners and Green Camp garrisoned in Shandong will be under Agui's control. First, the traitor Zhu Xiaosong will be suppressed.

Thief! Transfer the Zhili Eight Banners soldiers and the Green Camp to Fu Heng's control, and first annihilate Chen Tailai with all your strength!"

He Shen first responded with a hum, and then asked tentatively: "Where is Uncle Fu..."

Qian deaf old dog snorted coldly and said: "I trust Fukangan. Even if he cannot wipe out the rebel bandits of the Bagua Sect, he can still hold Caozhou Mansion. Once Chen Tailai has eliminated them, he will let Fu Heng lead his troops to fight against Fukangan."

Convergence.”

After He Shen bowed again and agreed, Qian deaf old dog ordered again with murderous intent: "Send the order, this time to suppress the bandits, all troops and horses must strictly carry out the killing!"

What Qian Deaf Lao Gou Lao Gou calls "the priority is to kill" is not just to target "rebels" like Zhu Xiaosong or Chen Tailai, but also to target the four prefectures where rebels have appeared, just like the Junggar people were treated before.

Empty everything completely, and then relocate people from other places!

In Qian Deafangou's plan, as long as Tai'an and Yanzhou are sorted out first, Chen Tailai's problem of cutting off water transportation will naturally be solved, and he, the Qing emperor of the Qing Dynasty, can also follow the original plan to patrol Taishan Mountain.

Those who should go to Confucius' Mansion will go to Confucius' Mansion, and those who should go to Jiangnan will still go to Jiangnan.

Seeing that Qian Deafangou had become really angry, He Shen and others naturally did not dare to persuade him. Anyway, the people who died were all in the mud, and they could not die on their own heads. Why bother to touch Long live the Lord again because of this matter?

Bad luck?

But, Lu Shuren once said that plans are never as fast as changes.

No matter how good Qian Deaf Old Dog's plan is, counterinsurgency must still be done step by step.

First, He Zhongtang has to get the necessary firearms and equipment. Mingxing, the governor of Shandong, also has to prepare the necessary food and logistics. Then Agui, the imperial envoy, leads the troops to suppress the rebellion. It is not like in the game to frame the younger brother and then push it aside.

Just go there.

However, due to the existence of Chen Tailai, there was inevitably a situation of suspicion and jealousy between the mites and the Han ministers in our Qing Dynasty. It has become normal for the mites and Han ministers to criticize each other.

The chaos in the court further affected local stability, and the peasant associations spread like wildfire, so that the entire four provinces of Shandong, Zhili, Henan, and Jiangsu showed signs of instability.

At this time, Qian Deafangu really couldn't care less about going to Jiangnan to inspect the river project on the young ladies. Instead, he was thinking about how to stabilize the situation in front of him.

Then, it all returned to the starting point - suppressing bandits and suppressing rebellion cannot be completed in a day or two, but there are more and more turbulent places, and the old dog Qian Deaf becomes more and more angry. The old dog Qian Deaf becomes angrier.

The more they want to mobilize large armies to quell the rebellion. The more troops are mobilized, the more preparations need to be made. The more preparations are required, the more ruthlessly the local officials will plunder the people. The more ruthless the plunderings, the less stable the people will be.

At this time, Qian Deaf Laogou finally remembered what Qian Dan Tong Ji'er Ji Xiaolan said about the local government's oppression of the people too much.

After struggling for a period of time, Qian Deafangou finally summoned He Shen and others into the Jinan Palace.

Qian Deaf, an old dog, was leaning on the couch and weakly ordered: "Pass an edict that all local governments are prohibited from allocating additional food and wages, and the censors are sent to patrol to detect the illegal activities of all officials in the world."

After He Shen and others agreed, Qian Deafangou was silent for a long time, and then he said: "I have visited the south several times and disturbed many places. I will just stop here and He Shen will do a good job."

Preparations for departure back to Beijing."

"Previously, every province I visited during my southern tour was subsidized by the Ministry of Internal Affairs with two thousand taels of silver, and local officials were ordered to distribute it among the people, so that they would know that I love the people."

He Zhongtang was confused again.

The previous operation of prohibiting local officials from sending more money was normal, and the operation of sending out inspection censors was also as it should be. The key is what the hell is the operation of these two thousand taels of silver?

Each province has two thousand taels of silver. How much more will there be after it is distributed to each prefecture and county? If it is distributed to the people, will each household be able to get a penny?

Aren't you looking for scolding?
