Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 160 Dad, you want to rebel?But my capital is not enough! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)
"Dong Weng, the Second Young Master said that because he missed your old man, he changed his fast horse in Shaoguan and galloped here with a few relatives. The big team is still led by the First Young Master, and it will take a few days to reach Zhaoqing."

The person who was talking to Wang Fuchen was "the brother of the third prince Zhu" Yao Qisheng. Of course, he still doesn't know how close he is to the third prince Zhu!

This Master Yao Qisheng is now very successful. His ability and his "drilling energy" are definitely second to none in the "teacher group" of Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao.

Moreover, his professional ability is also very strong. He is proficient in criminal name, money valley, military affairs, diplomacy (he was the magistrate of Xiangshan County and dealt with foreign devils), copywriting and other matters, and he is even proficient in Manchu—he is the Eight Banners of Shaoxing. !Of course I can speak Manchurian, but with some Shaoxing accent.

In addition, Yao Qisheng served as the magistrate of Xiangshan County in Guangdong before becoming the master of Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao, so he knew the situation in Guangdong very well.In addition, his original leadership ability is also very strong-in the original history, he pulled thousands of "Zhe Yong" to follow Jie Shu to fight Geng Jingzhong, and finally got involved with the governor of Fujian!

Therefore, after such a master who is well-versed in almost every aspect came to the governor's office of Guangdong and Guangxi, he was naturally appreciated by Wang Fuchen.He is now Wang Fuchen's "Master Memorial" in name, but in fact he is the "Master in Chief" who helps Wang Fuchen handle military and political affairs.

Wang Fuchen stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Since this kid still knows that he misses me as a father, let him wait in the third hall of the hotel!"

"Brother Wang," Kong Sizhen was taken aback, "You want Shikai to come to my place? Isn't it appropriate?"

Wang Fuchen laughed, and said: "Sister Zhen, my big boss has been in charge of the Dongtangzi Yamen where the sticky pole is. Does he know about our fate?"

Kong Sizhen frowned and said nothing.Wang Fuchen waved his hand with a smile, and asked Yao Qisheng to pass on Wang Zhongxiao to Kong Sizhen's residence.

"Greetings to my lord, baby, and respect to Princess Zhongxiao!"

In the three halls of Dingnan Gege Hotel, Wang Zhongxiao, who had come all the way, finally met his unfilial father and his father's little three Kong Sizhen.

This unfilial father is also a father, Wang Zhongxiao is such a filial son, he always has to give a casual salute when he sees his father.

As for the unfilial mistress, she is a feudal lord anyway, so Wang Zhongxiao also took him along when he saluted his father.

When Wang Fuchen saw this dutiful son, he didn't ask him to sit down. Instead, he frowned and asked, "Second brother, I'm asking you for my father, did you and Brother Ni really force that grandson of King Pingxi to death together?"

As soon as Wang Zhongxiao heard this, he was very unhappy, and he was not polite to his father, so he stood up straight, pulled up a chair, sat down with a big horse, and then replied: "Yes, Dad , didn’t you also get into the book of impeachment of Wu Yingxiong?”

Wang Fuchen waved his hand, "Can it be the same? Who in the world is not on the list? Even your aunt Zhen is on the test book."

"There are also people who didn't come," Wang Zhongxiao said with a meaningful smile, "Neither the Guangxi general nor the Guangxi admiral."

"They? Humph, they're all going to rebel!" Wang Fuchen frowned again as he spoke, "No, I'm afraid they've already rebelled. General Sun of Guangxi is in Liuzhou, Admiral Ma Xiong is in Nanning, Guangxi left-wing general Guo Guo Yi according to Sien, plus Zu Zeqing from Guangdong, according to Gao, Lei, and Lian prefectures! Although they haven’t publicly raised the flag of rebellion, they have already ignored the orders of me, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi!”

He glanced at Kong Sizhen next to him again: "Mafutai in Guangxi sent a message yesterday, saying that news from Liuzhou, Qingyuan, Sicheng, Si'en, Zhen'an, Nanning, Taiping and other seven prefectures has been cut off. The government offices of the government and the county offices of the counties below are no longer in contact with the governor's office, the feudal government office, and the standard Taiwan office!

There is also news that these seven prefectures in Guangxi and all the counties under the seven prefectures have been taken over by people sent by Sun Erfu, Ma Junmen, and Guo Zongzhen, and the disobedient magistrates and county magistrates have been arrested. "

Kong Sizhen beside him also had a sad face, and sighed, "Oh, how can I do this?"

Wang Fuchen stroked his beard and glanced at Kong Sizhen, and said tentatively: "Sister Zhen, don't be afraid. Your grandson-in-law's Guangxi general sounds very powerful, but in fact he doesn't have many soldiers at hand, except for his own barracks. , only one Liu Qingxie was passed down from his father, with a total of [-] soldiers.

Ma Xiong, the admiral of Guangxi, has a little more people. This standard adds a Nanning city guard battalion, and there are a total of 400 soldiers.Guo Yi, the left-wing commander in Guangxi, had his own pacesetters plus one Sinanxie, making a total of [-] soldiers.The three of them plus one is [-] people.

And I have a total of 3000 new troops plus pacesetters!Zhenmeizi, your vassal army has fifteen assistant leaders, a total of 200 people, Xianchengren's Youyi Town in Guangxi has [-] soldiers, Governor Ma's pacesetter has [-] soldiers, Xunwu Association has [-] soldiers, and Guilin's city guard battalion has [-]. [-], Zhaoqing also has a naval battalion with [-] people under my control, and there are [-] people in these alone!

As long as we send troops, your son-in-law's strength will be wiped out at any time."

Wang Fuchen was so proud when he spoke!

He is now the biggest warlord in Guangdong and Guangxi!
There are [-] soldiers and horses directly under him alone. If Kong Sizhen's army is swallowed up, there will be more than [-] troops, which is more than Shang Kexi's army!

When Kong Sizhen heard that Wang Fuchen was going to attack Sun Yanling, he quickly stopped him and said, "No! Never!"

"No?" Wang Fuchen chuckled, "Sister Zhen, are you afraid that after the defeat of Sun Erfu, you will go to Wu Sangui to rescue the soldiers? Or should we contact Prince Xi as well?"

"What?" Kong Sizhen was taken aback, staring at Wang Fuchen with big eyes, "You, you want to join Wu Sangui? Wu Sangui's grandson was forced to death by your son!"

While talking, she turned her head to look at Wang Zhongxiao who had a gloomy expression, "Shi Kai, what do you think?"

Without waiting for his son to speak, Wang Fuchen smiled and said, "Shikai, Lord Xi is not unreasonable. You have no choice but to force Wu Shilin to death. If you don't do this, Wu Shilin will also die."

You unfilial father!Want to cheat me?no way!
Wang Zhongxiao sneered and said, "Father, you are so confused!"

"Why am I confused?" Wang Fuchen was a little unhappy, "Second brother, don't you understand the current general situation? Xiwang's rebellion has become a trend!"

"Father, you are right," Wang Zhongxiao nodded, "Wu Sangui has indeed become a climate. But the Qing Dynasty will not be able to finish it in a while. No matter how capable Wu Sangui is, he is not as good as Zhu Hongwu, right? Emperor Kangxi is useless, and he can't help it." A little stronger than Emperor Yuanshun, right?

No matter how ugly the Qing court is, it is much better than the chaotic court at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, right?With Zhu Hongwu's ability and Yuan Ting's chaos, it took more than ten years from capturing Jiqing Road to capturing Dadu!How old is Wu Sangui now?Is there another ten years?If Wu Sangui is gone, who can succeed him?Will there be a brother-in-law thing?Let's take refuge now, isn't it a little early?
In addition, do we have enough capital now?Wu Sangui is now on the verge of being blown into the sky. If we rely on him, what good price can we get? "

"I, I have [-] soldiers and horses!" Wang Fuchen glanced at Kong Sizhen again, and said with a smile, "Your Aunt Zhen still has thousands of elite soldiers under her command! Can't we still find a way to stabilize, level, and continue the status of San Francisco? Is it? From now on, your Jiqing brother will be the king of Guangxi, your eldest brother will be the king of Guangdong, and you will be the king of Chaozhou. Is this a good arrangement?"

The arrangement was good. The Pingnan Palace and Duke Xushun's Palace were all gone, and there was no Guangxi General Sun Yanling anymore!

And what's even better is that Wang Zhongxiao is only a Chaozhou king after he has been busy for half a day?

According to his original plan, if there is a rebellion in Guangdong, Wang Fuchen can be a "king of heaven", but he himself wants to be a "God"!Just a Chaozhou king now?How can this work?

But Wang Zhongxiao does not have enough money to become a "God". He has only just arrived in Guangdong, and he has not yet integrated and developed Guangdong's Tiandihui, Reform Academy, and Jingwu Academy, and he has not yet branched out the Guangdong Customs In fact, he did not control a large number of local governments in Guangdong, and of course he did not start to carry out the land equalization movement in the Guangdong New Army.

If the Guangdong new army was not given an equal share of the land, then the Guangdong new army would not be armed by the Tiandihui, but an armed force shared by the Qing Dynasty and Wang Fuchen.

Raise the flag to fight against Qing Dynasty now. The time is not ripe!

Thinking of this, he gave Yao Qisheng, the brother of the "Third Prince Zhu", a wink: "Xizhi, you must have figured out the strength of the mountains in Guangdong and Guangxi, right? Let's hear it. We are now following Wu Sangui to rebel capital?"

"If we go back to the young master's house, our capital is not enough."

Yao Qisheng didn't think there was anything wrong with this topic, and he really started to analyze it!

Now and before the battle of Daguan Town, there are already two eras. At least in Guangdong and Guangxi, the times have changed!

Reversing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty is no longer something far away, but something that is happening now!

Therefore, Master Yao Qisheng should give advice on behalf of his own Dong Weng. Should he fight against the Qing immediately, or wait and see?
"Dong Weng, Young Master's family," Yao Qisheng said, "Sun Yanling now has nearly [-] elite soldiers. If you add Zu Zeqing's Gaoleilian Town and Gaozhou Navy Battalion, there are more than [-] elite soldiers." up!
The Pingnan Palace also has fifteen elite soldiers, and also controls the five general soldiers of Guangdong Left Wing, Right Wing, Shunde, Shaozhou, and Jieshi. The actual strength on hand is estimated to exceed [-]!
Zhu Guozhi, Li Lan, and Chen Shikai, who are about to take office, will also control [-] green battalion soldiers.

In addition, Duke Xushun's mansion has five assistant leaders and 500 elite soldiers, Liu Jinzhong, the general soldier of Chaozhen, has [-] soldiers, and the sons of the late Raoping general soldier Wu Liuyi still have [-] soldiers on hand ( One Xie), Guangdong Navy Town has a large scale, with [-] soldiers, and Qiongzhou Town has [-] soldiers. Plus some other "Xie" and other miscellaneous troops such as the city guard battalion and the navy battalion, there can be about one Small twenty thousand.

That is to say, the total number of feudal troops and green battalion soldiers in Guangdong and Guangxi is about [-], while Dong Weng can control only [-] to [-] troops, accounting for only [-]% to [-]% of the total army strength in Guangdong and Guangxi. "

Wang Zhongxiao immediately followed Yao Qisheng's words and said, "Father, did you hear that? Our military strength only accounts for [-]% of the total strength of the armies in Guangdong and Guangxi!" How many people who are unfamiliar with the place of life can follow us wholeheartedly?
In addition, how much territory do we have now?Regardless of Guangxi, Guangdong alone has 89 state capitals, [-] counties, halls, and scattered states. How much do we know?
Without territory, our more than 1 troops are rootless weeds. It is difficult to raise military rations and civilians, it is impossible to make up for war casualties, and it is impossible to purchase gunpowder and equipment.Once something goes wrong, you have to be like a bird and a beast! "

Wang Fuchen's ears were a bit soft. Historically, he turned against the Qing Dynasty and returned to the Ming Dynasty and voted for Wu Sangui for a while, and then returned to the Qing camp after being fooled by Zhou Chang.

Listening to Yao Qisheng and Wang Zhongxiao's analysis now, the rebellion that was originally not firm has shrunk a lot.

After Wang Zhongxiao finished speaking, he glanced at Kong Sizhen again. Kong Sizhen hurriedly said to Wang Fuchen: "Brother Wang, Shi Kai and Master Yao are right. Don't worry about anti-Qing and restoring Ming. We are not reckless with nothing now, but A mighty man with a heavy weapon in his hand!
Now that the imperial court and Wu Sangui are holding each other back, neither of them can spare too much power for Guangdong and Guangxi, and we just happened to slowly grab the territory of Guangdong and Guangxi.With the territory, population, and wealth of Guangdong and Guangxi, won’t you be able to get what you want in the future?

If you are in a hurry now and the rebellion fails, then all previous efforts will be wasted and you will have nothing! "

Wang Fuchen stroked his beard and asked thoughtfully, "But how will this territory be managed? If there is no rebellion, how many counties can I, the governor, control?"

"Father, my son took advantage of the opportunity of the court to sell officials and nobles to raise military salaries, and bought six magistrates and twelve county magistrates. Among them, the magistrates can also act as magistrates! In other words, we can control up to eighteen counties!" Wang Zhongxiao calculated. "We try our best to get the coastal counties of Zhaoqing, Huizhou, Guangfu, and Gaozhou into our hands.

Due to the coastal relocation, the counties along the coast have a large amount of abandoned land, and these lands can all be sold out!Our own new army can share some, and we can also share some with the local heroes in Guangdong.In addition, these seaside counties are very poor now, and there are so many pirates that ordinary local officials can't afford it, and they are easy to get. "

Wang Fuchen glanced at Yao Qisheng: "Master Yao, how many counties are there?"

"Dong Weng, there are six counties in Xiangshan, Xinning, Xinhui, Xin'an, Shunde, and Dongguan in Guangfu, Yangjiang in Zhaoqing, Haifeng and Guishan in Huizhou, Dianbai and Wuchuan in Gaozhou. There are eleven counties in total. In addition, Gaoyao, the first county in Zhaoqing, Qiongshan, the first county in Qiongzhou, Huilai, which borders Chaozhou and Huizhou, and Qujiang, which guards the gateway to Lingnan, are four counties.

Wang Zhongxiao said: "With these fifteen counties, plus Uncle Ba's Zhaoqing Mansion, my son's Guangdong Customs Road may have two or three prefects or prefects, and we can start to operate our own base!"

"Still operating?" Wang Fuchen frowned, "How?"

"First of all, of course, it is necessary to select talents to enrich the governor's office and the government offices of the provinces and counties that we can control!" Wang Zhongxiao said, "There are always too few places for the officials of the Qing Dynasty to use them. !
Not to mention other places, but in your father's governor's office, you are the only one. Even the master of the sixth department is not an official.If we want to really effectively control the territory, we still need a little more officials and officials! "

The Qing Dynasty was not without redundant staff, and there were many redundant staff in the Ministry of Internal Affairs!However, there are too few local officials. In a county, there is often only one Zhengyin official who "has a series".Therefore, it is often enough to have two officials in a county!
There are not enough organized officials, so of course the local government affairs can only be handled by the officials' "staff, family members" and local tycoons. It's a hooligan.

This official spends his own money to hire people. Not just one or two!It's at least ten or twenty, and it can even reach one or two hundred!Where does this money come from?Don't embezzle?
As for the local gentry and hooligans, why should they act as "little officials" with little money?
"But the imperial court's system." Wang Fuchen frowned, "And where do we go to find so many talents?"

"The imperial court is busy fighting with Wu Sangui, so how much of Guangdong's affairs can we take care of?" Wang Zhongxiao said with a smile, "We can let it go! As for the talent? Isn't there a reform school and a Jingwu school? We have to run it If you have a good site, you must seriously manage these two schools!"

"But it also costs money to run a school?" Wang Fuchen said, "Now these two schools have just opened, and they have already spent a lot. If they are really big, they will not spend 20 million a year? Where does the money come from? ?”

"Silver." Wang Zhongxiao said with a smile, "Father, there is a child here! The child is the Guangdong Customs Road. When the customs road is opened, there will be a lot of silver to collect!"

"Young master," Yao Qisheng reminded, "the sea trade is very deep. Moreover, the barbarians entrenched in Haoao are not easy to deal with. They have people in the imperial court, and at the same time they have friendship with the Nanwang Palace. The governors of Guangdong and Guangxi and the governors of Guangdong have all It's hard to get involved."

Wang Zhongxiao laughed and said, "That's what other people can't do, but I can do it! If there are too many, I dare not say, it's no problem to get hundreds of thousands or millions from the customs a year!"

"There are really so many?" Wang Fuchen's eyes lit up, "If there are really so many, then our soldiers will be more than [-], and it is possible to double it!"

Wang Zhongxiao said confidently: "Father, just watch it!"
