Anti-Qing: I'm actually an honest person

Chapter 110 Sun Yanling's Request ([-] in [-])

To be honest, Geng Jingzhong and Monk Zhixin came to him in the name of buying stocks, which did not surprise Liu Dapao.

Because Chaozhou town of mine has always had a grudge against the two of them. Once the two of them rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, Chaozhou town would be the first hurdle that they couldn't get around.

However, since Liu Dapao took over Chaozhou Town recently, he has made a lot of money through sea trade. After opening the factory, a large number of landless farmers have come to Qihuo Road in Xinchenghai County. Although the total army is less than [-], but Money can make soldiers, this is an obvious truth.

Especially with the construction of this bastion halfway through, a basic look is already very clear, everyone is a military strategist, who can't see how easy it is to defend but difficult to attack, it can be said that with this bastion in Chenghai City, If 1 people come to defend, even if 10 people attack the city, there is nothing he can do about it. They can only try to trap them to death.

But the problem is that Chenghai is still close to the sea, and they still have a navy in their hands, so it's impossible to fight at all.

To be honest, after seeing the fortress in Chenghai, Geng Jingzhong and Monk Zhixin once gave up the idea of ​​rebellion.

Then, they heard that Liu Dapao supported the soldiers with self-respect, insisted on Hao Duo's face, and issued stocks worth 600 million taels of silver to invite the purchase of the army's morale.

This matter was originally a signal he sent to Geng Shang and the other two: at least I am not a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty.

It's a big deal, just like Wu Sangui, they are afraid that they will not be able to figure out what's going on with Liu Dapao if they send someone else here.

The reason is also extremely legitimate: examine the stock market.

Withdrawing the domain, it is impossible to take all the soldiers to their hometown in the Northeast. They are all southerners. Will they freeze to death in Liaodong?
The imperial court originally agreed that after the withdrawal of the domain, these soldiers under the domain will be placed. They will come to see if the stock is reliable. If it is reliable, they will buy some stocks before withdrawing from the domain, and then ask the court to buy some stocks and distribute them to the soldiers. Is it human nature?

It's just that Liu Dapao really didn't expect such a coincidence that these two people would find him at the same time, let alone such a coincidence that Wu Sangui was here too.

What's so good about his little city of Chenghai? Why is there a meeting in San Francisco?
Of course, Geng and Shang never imagined that they would see Wu Sangui in this Chaozhou mansion!

Sit down and chat, good guy, there is also a former Ming princess.

It seems... there is no need to try.

Geng Jingzhong and Monk Zhixin have dealt with Liu Dapao before, so I can only say that this guy hides it really well. Before Tu Qiong saw him, everyone thought he was a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, and he has even done it now The position of the chief official of the frontier is gone.

Let's talk again, the good guy is still the chief rudder of the Tiandihui.

This scheming city is really not a person anymore, and there is a feeling that it has refreshed the world view.

But Sun Yanling would come, honestly, Liu Dapao didn't expect it. After all, he didn't border with him, and he had no contact with him before, so he couldn't help but ask Sun Yanling first:

"General Sun, to be honest, these three princes came to my little Chaozhou at the same time today. Although they are flattered and ecstatic, I can roughly guess what they are here for and what they are talking about. General Sun is very busy. Among them, I came to Chaozhou to look at the stock market in person, but it... baffled me."

General Sun Yanling of Guangxi is actually the fourth of the four towns of San Francisco. In fact, there were four princes in the early Qing Dynasty, that is, Kong Youde, the king of Dingnan. After the Qing Dynasty, it was entrusted by Huang Taiji tree as an example.

It's just that Kong Youde has no son, so after his death, the inheritance left behind can only be passed on to his son-in-law, Sun Yanling. He also gave it to him, so in the end he was given the nondescript title of General Guangxi in a daze.

But all in all, the influence that Kong Youde left to Sun Yanling itself is not weaker than Geng Jingzhong's monk Zhixin, of course, it is still incomparable with Wu Sangui.

Therefore, the matter of the Qing court's cutting of the vassal was not only a bitterness to Sun Yanling, but also a sympathetic feeling. If you think about it with your knees, you know that Kangxi will definitely attack him, and he is even already attacking him.

Liu Dapao is also very clear that the three feudal states and four towns are all against each other in this war, so he doesn't have the slightest shyness towards Sun Yanling. Let's go to Chaozhou to join in the fun.

Seeing that Liu Dapao's words were so clearly chosen, Sun Yanling did not simply say the truth, "As the anti-Qing patriot, Mr. Sun really admired Mr. Liu for being able to do such a great thing in the Qing court without relying on any backing. Really, my grandson admired you before I came here, and after I came to know your identity, I can't wait to give you one. It's really amazing. I haven't heard of anyone who can do this for you in history. Pass."

"Thank you, General, for your praise."

"I can't do it anymore. In fact, there is nothing to hide from it. If it weren't for my wife and my grandson's ability, I wouldn't be qualified to sit down at this table and drink with you. You know, many people in the DPRK say that I eat soft food."

"But Ruanfan is really not that delicious. To tell you the truth, I came to Chaozhou this time to see the stocks. I originally came to ask Mr. Liu for something. Now, since Mr. Liu is me I’m sorry, I might as well just say something straight.”

"Kangxi wants to withdraw the vassal, and knives and knives will be slashed at us Han nobles. The soldiers under me also have great opinions. Idiots know that I can't escape. The soldiers are used to living in Guangxi. Let them go to Liaodong. Not to mention whether the court can arrange it well, even if it can be arranged well, it is not realistic at all, this is called exile in the hearts of the soldiers."

"So King Pingxi, you are the leader of the four of us. If you don't move, we will definitely not dare to move, let alone move. If you move, I, Sun Yanling, will definitely accompany you. I am willing to make an appointment with you to jointly send troops to capture Hunan."

"But... hey~, my daughter-in-law Kong Sizhen, ah~, this family is ugly, so I might as well tell you the truth at this time. After all, the soldiers and horses in my hand were left to me by my father-in-law. Well, many generals in the army recognize my daughter-in-law and deny me, and I am beating drums to gather generals, and more than half of the good guys sitting down are their natal family."

"In addition, Sizhen was raised by the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang in the palace since she was a child. He is the only Han personality officially recognized by the Qing Dynasty. On weekdays, he is supported by the Empress Dowager, the princess is next to him, and the army is under him. With the help of countless natal families, I, the general of Guangxi, are really nothing in front of her."

"I am arrogant and domineering towards me on weekdays, I don't abide by women's morals, and she even dares to beat me if I offend her a little. As for taking a concubine, marrying a concubine, and visiting a brothel, I dare not even think about it." , if I walk on the street and look more at some young lady, she will stab me and bleed me."

Hearing this, many men present gave him sympathetic looks, but no one felt sorry for him. After all, as he himself said, if he didn't marry Kong Sizhen, how could he be qualified to eat at today's table , Which man is not a person who suffers after being a dignitary.

Even Jiu Nan, who was also a princess before, couldn't help contemptuous of this person. You are obviously relying on your wife's natal family's power to speak ill of your own wife to outsiders, but this is really a bit of a villain .

"I don't hesitate to spread the family ugliness today because the disagreement between Sizhen and I has become more and more serious recently. Of course I don't want to withdraw. It's what I said just now. Pingxi Wang Ruofan, I wish to be you A pawn before dismounting, I will take Hunan together with you."

"However, Sizhen hasn't been in the army for so many years, and she doesn't know the rules of doing things in the army. The old man Xiaozhuang gave her a set of guards of honor for the princess, but it made her a little confused. She is not indifferent to the tens of thousands of elites left by my father-in-law to our husband and wife, and half a province of the country, but she is eager to withdraw quickly so that she can return to the capital with his guard of honor and the gold, silver and jewels accumulated over the years. Be her princess."

"Hey, naive, she really takes this Xiaozhuang as her godmother, and she doesn't even think about it. Without these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, why should she be a princess? She patted her ass and wanted to leave After all, the generals in this army can do it?"

When everyone heard the words, they showed solemn expressions. Obviously, when Sun Yanling and Kong Sizhen had conflicts about this Guangxi matter, Sun Yanling might not be the one who could call the shots.

Liu Dapao couldn't help asking: "The differences between the two of you, can't you... think of a way to resolve them in bed?"

"Yes, Brother Sun, try harder and work harder."

"To tell you the truth, Sizhen and I have separated now, and each of us has recruited soldiers and horses. We are in a state of confrontation. It is hard to say that this matter cannot be resolved on the bed, but it will end up in a war. See you."

"If it really gets to that point, I'm sure I can win, but if it's such a fight, my Guangxi army will suffer heavy losses if it fights itself. The great cause of restoration of Ming has come to add bricks and tiles."

"So originally, I heard that Chaozhou is developing like a raging fire recently, and there is something called stocks, you can make money by buying them, so I wanted to see if I could find some business for the army to make some quick money, it would be best Then Mr. Liu Zongruo will help you buy some stocks and go back, and share the profits with the soldiers in the army. The best, the best, can make my disaster disappear. Try not to solve it on the battlefield."

"However, now that I know the true identity of Chief Liu, and now that I know the talents of Chief Liu, it is natural to ask Chief Liu to help me find a solution."

Of course, Liu Dapao couldn't help feeling tired after hearing the words.

Everyone sat together to discuss how to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and drive out the Tartars. Who wants to help you deal with the private affairs of your soft rice general and your wife?

However, the relationship between the couple seems to really affect their anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty. After all, Sun Yanling's department said that there is no such thing as [-] Fan soldiers and [-] Green Battalions.

If this force is against the Qing, he and Wu Sangui will at least have the southern part of Hunan at their fingertips, and if they want to become a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, whether they compete with Wu Sangui for Hunan or compete with Shang Kexi for Guangdong and Guangxi, it will be enough for them to drink a pot.

Such an existence like a hand that decides the outcome of major events in the world, but its focus is actually the two of them fighting. How can there be such a thing in the world?
Looking back, I saw Yuan Chengzhi was still sitting stiffly like a primary school student in class, his cheeks were red like a big apple, and Jiu Nan seemed to have been distracted, even the red one was pretty good-looking, and he glanced at Yuan Chengzhi from time to time His eyes were as complicated as a thousand words.

Sober up!Talk about anti-Qing and Fuming!It's Ming from your family!

What kind of teammates are these? A good national event suddenly became a family ethics.

"I understand. Do you want me to help you buy the morale of the army, tell your wife Kong Sizhen to retreat in spite of the difficulties, or simply gather strength and truly control your Guangxi army."

"Yes."

"Ma Xiong, governor of Guangxi, and Jin Guangzu, governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, can you handle it?"

"As long as Sizhen can be dealt with, anyone else can be dealt with."

"Well, it's not impossible."

"I also ask Mr. Liu Zongruo to enlighten me."

"If you want, if ah, I can find a way to persuade Porter and Rotoni to open a branch of the West Pacific Company in Beihai, Guangxi, but you must allow me to station a small number of naval forces. Over there, the distance The Luzon region is relatively close, Senior Yuan, Senior Yuan?"

"Ah, ah? What's the matter with the chief helmsman?"

"I said, if we want to build a branch of the West Pacific Company in Beihai, we can unite with you Boni Island and exchange information with each other. Please take care of them."

"Ah, ah yes, yes yes yes."

Then he turned his head and said to Sun Yanling: "As far as I know, there are a large number of lead mines in Guangxi, and some of them are even under the names of the two of you. If you merge the mine areas into West Pacific Company as assets, of course we will issue additional shares." .”

"In addition, Guangxi's unique climatic conditions are very suitable for planting sugar cane and cinnamon. The Wangzhuang of King Dingnan has a lot of fertile land. Cinnamon is the most popular and expensive spice in Europe. The Dutch used to buy it mainly in Batavia. , it’s cheaper than gold when shipped to Europe.”

"As for sugarcane, let alone, we can build a very large sugar factory in Beihai, and then use the residue of sugarcane to brew a kind of wine called rum. Europeans like it very much. In fact I also like it very much, and I believe there is a market for domestic sales.”

"So if you want, we can do this together. I will issue additional shares to you. Some of the unregistered assets are your assets, and the other part can be registered and distributed to your soldiers, just like me. .”
