Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 179 Father Wang, quickly sign this "Father's Kindness and Son's Treaty of Filial Piety"! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)
Steal your seat?Are you afraid that after Sun Jiqing turns into Wang Jiqing, he will take your place as the heir to the royal family?But it seems really possible!
Thinking of this, Wang Zhongxiao said to Dai Zi, "Wen Kai, we must hurry up on the imitation of flintlock guns. How much does it cost to make a flintlock gun? Have you figured it out?"

"It costs at least five taels of silver with a spear. If it is mass-produced, the cost may be reduced."

"Tell the craftsmen below that if the delivery is within three months and the quality can meet the standard, I will give you 15 taels!" Wang Zhongxiao said with a smile, "After these three months, there will be no such price! If you want to make more money, you can Work hard!"

Dai Zi was stunned, "15 two? Three months? Is it that urgent?"

Wang Zhongxiao smiled: "Why are you not in a hurry? The peaceful life in Guangdong and Guangxi won't last long. Didn't you hear what my elder brother said? The emperor has appointed my third younger brother Sun Jiqing as King Dingnan! He became King Dingnan, Kong Shouldn’t my aunt be urging my father to march into Guangxi? The war is imminent! When the fight starts, it would be good to have one more flintlock! This kind of flintlock is easy to handle, and it can be used as a short spear after pressing the bayonet. It can be used for hand-to-hand combat, and can be cast in a dense array.

If we can have [-] units, then our three-county township soldiers can be used as the new army of the Two Associations! "

Wang Zhongxiao is now building the township soldiers of the three counties as his own basic armed forces. Although the three counties of Xiangshan, Xinning, and Xinhui are not poor mountains and rivers that produce elite soldiers, but because these three counties are under his nose, and they still exist There is a large amount of abandoned good land that can be allocated (because the coastal border has been abandoned), so the difficulty of carrying out land equalization reform in these three counties is relatively low.

In addition, Wang Zhongxiao was able to obtain a large number of cadres from the Reform Academy and the Jingwu Academy, so the land equalization in the three counties proceeded relatively smoothly.By the turn of spring and summer in the 11th year of Kangxi, the equalization of land in the three counties had been largely completed.

The big landowners who should move have already left or are about to move out—the big landowners who agreed to move into Hao’ao are packing up their properties, and at the same time sending people to build houses in the Hao-Mao area.Those who disagreed with the relocation were mostly suppressed or fled to Guangzhou.

The inland fertile land that should be re-divided was also divided, and dozens of townships were established at the same time-"du" was an administrative unit that was higher than villages and lower than counties during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

A "capital" governs about a dozen villages.In the Xiangshan, Xinhui, and Xinning areas, a person in charge of a dozen or so villages can have almost a thousand households with more than ten thousand mouths.

The basic level of the administrative system established by Wang Zhongxiao in the three counties is also located in the "capital".That is to say, a "du" sends a "captain", a township officer, and an account manager. Only these three are paid, and there are some township soldiers who take turns to serve in the "capital". Rice will do.

Above all are counties, a county governs more than a dozen capitals, and above the three counties is the Guangdong Customs Road led by Wang Zhongxiao himself—now Wang Zhongxiao is a small lord of the three counties.

The villages below the capital generally live together with ethnic groups and are autonomous, but there are differences in the degree of autonomy.

Some of these villages practice clan farming together, and these clans can often keep their own land, so there is no need to share the land. Therefore, these villages are all "civilian households" and there are no township households.

Some villages were divided into families, so the cohesion was not strong, and the land gradually fell into the hands of gentry like "Master Huang".Wang Zhongxiao's people engaged in the "equalization of land" there. With some vested interests in the equalization of land, there will be township military households that can be driven by the "capital" above. It is the "three-county regime" that governs the inland areas of the three counties Foundation.

There are also some clans who immigrated from the coastal areas. They are the most miserable. Not only do they have no land, but they also have to rent land at a high price-because they have no relationship with the owner of the land, so it is natural to want to rent land. Pay a high price.

Therefore, these people naturally became the main force of the township soldiers in the three counties.The townships formed by them will gradually move back to their coastal hometowns and regain their own land.Because everyone participated in the land equalization, and each household got more than [-] mu of land (both [-] mu), so every family is a rural household!Of course, Wang Zhongxiao's three-county regime has the most powerful control over them, and their loyalty to Wang Zhongxiao is also the highest!
And the main force of the township soldiers in the three counties is this group of people. They also hate the Manchu Dynasty and the Peaceful Southern King Shang's family the most!
Now Wang Zhongxiao is eager to build and acquire flintlock guns, also to arm the enemies of the old Shang family.

"Understood, I'm going to urge the craftsmen to rush to work." Dai Zi naturally understood the current situation, so he didn't say much, saluted, turned around and left Wang Zhongxiao's office.

As soon as he went out, Wang Jizhen frowned and said to Wang Zhongxiao: "Second brother, what do you call Sun Jiqing and Kong Sizhen?"

"Isn't Sun Jiqing our third brother?" Wang Zhongxiao said with a smile, "Although Aunt Zhen has never been married, she has slept with our father for a long time. It is not an exaggeration to call her aunt, right?"

"Second brother, are you really not worried that this evil bastard Sun Jiqing will take the seat left by our father?" Wang Jizhen was still a little anxious, "Our father has [-] troops, although he now occupies the prefectures and prefectures of Zhaoqing and Luoding. And the three counties of Xiangshan, Xinning, and Xinhui, but in the future... maybe they will be the masters of Guangdong and Guangxi!"

Counting the "Three Counties and Township Soldiers" pulled by Wang Zhongxiao, Wang Fuchen's strength can indeed reach Guangdong and Guangxi, so Wang Jizhen, the eldest son of the royal family, has long been eyeing the throne of the Lord of Guangdong and Guangxi!
But he now has nothing but the title of the heir of the royal family, and his heart is naturally empty. Seeing Sun Jiqing as the king, of course he feels uneasy.

"Brother," Wang Zhongxiao looked at his elder brother and said with a smile, "Ten sheep are in sight, it's better to have one sheep in hand. Your Liangguang reserves are not as good as my three counties and one pass!"

Wang Jizhen was also a little anxious when he heard what his younger brother said, "Second brother, we are from the same mother. Sun Jiqing is Kong Sizhen's cub! If you let him get the seat of the Lord of Guangdong, Guangxi, your three counties and one pass will not Might keep it!"

Wang Zhongxiao smiled and said: "Brother, don't worry. What I mean by the younger brother is that you don't always stare at Guangdong and Guangxi reserve positions, you are so ambitious! You have to focus on more practical things, such as territory and the army!"

"Territory and army?" Wang Jizhen became interested now, "Second brother, I also know that territory and army are good, but where can I get territory and army? I'm different from you, I'm a scholar and I don't know how to rob Territory, seize the army!"

"I can help you!" Wang Zhongxiao patted his chest, "We are brothers, born of the same mother!"

"How can I help?" Wang Jizhen laughed—isn't this the reason why he came to Hao'ao?

This brother is indeed a reliable mother!

"Let's build you a mansion first!" Wang Zhongxiao said, "How about Leizhou Mansion? Although there are only three counties in Leizhou Mansion, and there is no population, they were all moved to Gaozhou Mansion by Shang Kexi to starve and suffer poverty. But Leizhou Mansion Since ancient times, it has been an important sea and trade town, and it is also close to Qiongzhou. As long as Leizhou is well managed, it will be able to cross Leiqiong's second mansion in the future, it's a good Nanbatian!"

"Nan Batian?" Wang Jizhen said heartily: This Nan Batian's name doesn't sound like a good person!
But it's better than nothing!

"Second brother, how can I become Nan Batian?" Wang Jizhen asked, "This Leizhou Mansion seems to be Zu Zeqing's territory. How about you fight for me?"

"Hit?" Wang Zhongxiao frowned, "Brother, you can't always eat what's ready-made, you have to work hard on your own! I can help a little, but you have to pay for the main strength yourself."

"Me? How can I beat Zu Zeqing?" Wang Jizhen stared, "He is Zu Dashou's son, and he is a veteran of Guan Ning!"

"Who asked you to fight?" Wang Zhongxiao smiled, "You won't have a good talk with him? Can't you ask him to let Gao, Lei, and Lian come out?"

"Let it go?" Wang Jizhen was almost annoyed by his brother, "Why should he let it go? The land of Sanfu. Why should he give it to us?"

Wang Zhongxiao smiled: "Just because Wu Shifan is my brother-in-law!"

"Wu Shifan..." Wang Jizhen's eyes lit up and he slapped his hands, "Ouch! Second brother, why did I forget him? Wu Shilin is already dead, and he is the future grandson of the Wu family!"

"That's right!" Wang Zhongxiao nodded, "Let's focus on Guangdong and Guangxi, but Zu Zeqing can focus on the world! If the old Wu family wins the world, Wu Shifan will be the future emperor. If he can protect the emperor and go north to Hunan, the land of the three mansions So what if we leave it to us?"

"Boss," Wang Zhongxiao said again, "you should work hard, go to Maoming, and discuss the three mansions of Gao, Lei, and Lian. This is a great achievement!"

"Wait, I'll take one of the next three mansions?" Wang Jizhen was a little unhappy again.

"Of course it's not enough!" Wang Zhongxiao thought for a while, "I still have to ask for a copy, brother, how about this, let's go to Zhaoqing together and talk to our father about dividing up the family business! "

"Divide the family business?" Wang Jizhen frowned, "How? What?"

Wang Zhongxiao said: "Of course the army is divided. What's the point of dividing our father's real estate and farm after dividing the land? I don't want it, I will give it all to you!"

There is no one with this style!
The mansions in Beijing’s Second Ring Road, the manors in Haidian and Yuyuantan are all gone. It will be worth the old nose’s money in the 21st century!
"I don't want it either!" Wang Jizhen was also very powerful, "Second brother, tell me, how will the army and territory be divided?"

This style is also high!
Wang Zhongxiao said: "Boss, let's not take too much of this land. If we take too much, we won't be able to eat it! It's enough for you to take down one prefecture in Leizhou, and you can add Wuchuan and Dianbai counties in Gaozhou at most, and I want another one from Zhaoqing." Yangjiang. In this way, our two brothers can win nine coastal counties. If Xin'an is added, it will be ten coastal counties.

However, we must participate in the Juntian in Gaozhou Prefecture and Zhaoqing Prefecture.Only by participating in land equalization can we get enough people to resettle in these coastal states and counties. A township is at least two to three hundred township soldiers. If the two of us can get two to three hundred coastal townships, that will be tens of thousands of township soldiers! "

"Tens of thousands of soldiers from the countryside. Good, good!" Wang Jizhen nodded repeatedly.

Wang Zhongxiao went on to say: "Let's get some points for our father's army. He now has a town of elite soldiers from the Three Associations! Next, he will go to rectify Kong Sizhen's troops, and it is estimated that he can pull out elite soldiers from the Four Associations. In the future, these four associations can be united. Divide it into two to form two towns. Let us get one together, and give the other to our father and Kong Sizhen, and pass it on to the third child in the future."

"Pass it to the third child." Wang Jizhen thought for a while, "Didn't the third child take down half of our father's army? Isn't it more?"

Wang Zhongxiao shook his head with a smile, "Brother, it would be great if our father agreed to this condition, so don't be too ambitious!"

"That's right!" Wang Jizhen thought about it for a while, "Can my father agree? He has been confused by Kong Sizhen now!"

"Yes!" Wang Zhongxiao said, "Aunt Kong must be in a hurry to return to Guangxi now. Guangxi is the domain of her son Sun Jiqing! If we can help her return, can she speak for us?"

"Then our father has agreed now, what should we do if we regret it in the future?" Wang Jizhen asked again.

Wang Zhongxiao said with a smile: "Then let him make a written statement for us!"

"Written evidence? Is this appropriate?"

"Appropriate. Father and son, settle accounts!" Wang Zhongxiao said, "I have a Wu Shifan, if you go to lobby Zu Zeqing and exchange him a paper note, how can he not agree?"

"That's right!" Wang Jizhen nodded, "That's all. Second, let's hurry up and go to Zhaoqing to talk to my father!"

When the filial brothers Wang Zhongxiao and Wang Jizhen rushed to Zhaoqing, they were going to discuss with Wang Fuchen.Wang Fuchen was sitting comfortably, stretching his waist and stretching his legs on a chair in the inner hall of the Dingnan Gege Hotel, with his boots off, and his two big naked legs were placed in a wooden basin.His ninth concubine, Jin Lian, was pouring hot water into it with an iron pot, deliberately pouring too much hot water, which made Wang Fuchen gasp for breath, before giving this little wife whom he hated and loved so much an angry look.

Kong Sizhen was kneeling there with a charming smile on his face, rubbing Wang Fuchen's feet. He was still dressed as a servant!
Needless to say, the couple is role-playing again.

This pair of dogs and men have been in a good mood recently, having a great time, and no one can control them anymore!The strength of the two of them combined, both broke "[-]". After a calculation, it is not a big problem to pacify Guangdong and Guangxi!
Shang Zhixin and Zhu Guozhi also came to Zhaoqing these two days with generous gifts, nominally to congratulate Sun Jiqing on his succession as King Dingnan, but in fact they came to curry favor with Wang Fuchen and Kong Sizhen.In addition, they also proposed a good relationship on behalf of Shang Kexi—to marry Shang Kexi's favorite daughter to Sun Jiqing. This is the marriage of Sun (Kong and Wang) Shang!

But these two people also have something on their minds now, that is, the little Guizi monk Zhixin and Zhu Guozhi who came to deliver the decree both proposed that Sun Jiqing be in charge of Guangxi as soon as possible.

What is the old king of Dingnan in Guangxi staying in Guangdong?
At this time, Kong Sizhen waved Xiao Jinlian away, and then smiled at Wang Fuchen: "My lord, I also think that Ji Qing should go to Guangxi as soon as possible. Now we have an army of 2, and we are afraid that we will not be able to defeat Sun Yanling, Ma Xiong, and others." Zu Zeqing and Guo Yi? No matter how they expand their elite soldiers, they will not exceed [-] people."

Wang Fuchen closed his eyes and enjoyed it while swearing at Kong Sizhen: "What do you know? War is not about the number of people!" He immediately opened his eyes again, and said to Kong Sizhen seriously: "Sun Yanling is not very old. They are capable, but Zu Zeqing and Ma Xiong are both used to fighting and they have Wu Sangui behind them! It's not easy to fight them!"

"Can't you fight?" Kong Sizhen frowned, "Master, don't worry about Wu Sangui. He is old and has ambitions in the world, so he won't care about Guangxi's affairs. If he can't conquer Beijing in his lifetime, wait until he dies." , it’s hard to say who will rule the world!”

"Of course we can fight." Wang Fuchen said, "But... the second child must be sent out! He alone accounts for half of our [-] army! And when it comes to leading troops to fight, none of my men can compare with him He is good at running the army, and is good at attacking fortified positions. We have many soldiers, and most of the enemies dare not fight, but if we want to attack the city, we still have to be the second one!"

"Then ask him to send troops!" Kong Sizhen said, "Isn't he your son? Ji Qing is still his younger brother!"

"This." Just when Wang Fuchen didn't know what to say to Kong Sizhen, that little Jinlian suddenly came back angrily.

"Master, the eldest son and the second son are here!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Fuchen smiled wryly and said, "I really mean Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here soon!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Zhongxiao and Wang Jizhen walked into the room swaggeringly. They didn't notice Kong Sizhen dressed up as a servant, so they talked to Wang Fuchen casually.

"Father, why are you always here with Aunt Kong? How bad is it for your wife to stay alone in the empty room every day?"

"Father, I'm not talking about you, you and Si Gege are like this"

"What are you talking about? What nonsense are you talking about?" Wang Fuchen glared, "What are you two doing here? Say what you have to say, and let go of your fart!"

"Okay, okay, I'll just talk about father, we two negotiated a letter of separation of father's kindness and son's filial piety, please sign and make a deposit. We father and son brothers will fight the world together from now on!"
