Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 264: Silver Bullets, Meatballs, Cannonballs! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)
"Amitabha, good, good. Then speaking of it, your sister is indeed a troublesome beauty!" The great monk Shunzhi clasped his hands together, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Benefactor Yang, do you still have many troubles like this in your family?"

"A lot! There are a lot!" Yang Jiaqi looked helpless, "My father is quite wealthy, and he took Qianming's n-wife to live in seclusion in Tianjin, and naturally raised many children. Those girls who are servants, most of them will follow suit when they grow up. Their mothers are all beauties, and after my father passed away, the slave, the eldest brother, has to take care of these girls, so I am so worried!"

The Great Monk Shunzhi sighed, and said: "Yes, pink skeletons, white bones and flesh are all vain. As an elder brother, how can you not worry about it? How about this? Come to the poor monk, and the poor monk will teach her some Buddhist teachings, let her know what is the notion of self, the notion of no one, the notion of sentient beings, and the notion of lifeless.”

Yang Jiaqi expressed admiration, "Bodhisattva, you are so tall. This disciple has been trapped by the illusion of pink skeletons, white bones and flesh all these years. I am really distressed. When I return to Tianjin this time, I will definitely send the most illusory girl to study with you, Bodhisattva." Dharma."

Yang Jia Qilong was indeed trapped by falsehood. At least before he was in favor of Wang Zhongxiao and Fuquan, he was quite deeply trapped.

There are always a large group of beautiful girls around, but they are all my own half-sisters, so it would be difficult to change anyone!These girls are easy to attract bees and butterflies if they are released, and they have to pay a dowry if they marry, and sell them as concubines. Although Tianjin Wei Yang's family is in decline, it hasn't reached that point yet!

And the matter of Wang Datou forced Yang Xiaohuan to let Yang Qilong, a gangster figure in the underworld, know his good girl again-this is not "sleepy", it is a resource!
The Great Monk Shunzhi also nodded after hearing Yang Jiaqilong's words, feeling satisfied.He wanted to ask when the pink skeletons and white bones of Yang Jia's family could come to the palace to practice with him. Outside, a voice that sounded a little old and thin seemed to be chanting: "The foreman is staying behind. See."

This Suo'etu came just in time, Fuquan hurriedly yelled "Xuan!"

Of course he knew that his Ama was "dedicated", and he especially liked beautiful women, and he doted on a filial queen back then.If there is another "Yang Jiashi" who is more beautiful than Empress Xiaoxian, and a few more "Prince Rong", will this Ama still love him?

So it's better to delay this matter.

The Great Monk Shunzhi knew that Suo'etu was coming here at this time, there must be something important, so he put away his thoughts of "Pink Skull" and waited to see Suo'etu.

When an elderly eunuch lifted the yellow satin curtain, Suo'etu bent down, walked lightly, and walked into the palace respectfully. Daan!" Then he knelt down and kowtowed to the regent Fuquan.As for the Great Monk Shunzhi, Suo'etu just made a Buddhist salute to him after praying to him, and asked, "Master is well."

In fact, many people in Beijing have already noticed that "Shunzhi haunts" - Shunzhi has only been in seclusion for more than ten years now, and there are still some people in Beijing who can recognize him.

But since the Prince Regent's Mansion didn't announce anything, everyone pretended they didn't see anything.Anyone who can recognize Emperor Shunzhi knows that the one who is immortal like the Great Monk Shunzhi is the person who wrote the edict written by the late Emperor himself!If he is resurrected, then he is the Supreme Emperor and loses the function of issuing a will.

So no one would look for boredom to point it out, even if they point it out, there is a high probability that they will give away their heads.

And Suo'etu was one of the few ministers who officially recognized Shunzhi, but he only gave Shunzhi a big gift when there were no outsiders.Today Yang Jiaqilong was present, so he could only perform a Buddha ceremony for the old master.

"Suo'etu get up, get up, and you get up too." Fuquan said in a low voice.

Suo'etu and Yang Qilong both stood up, with their hands down, waiting for Fuquan to continue speaking.

"Suo'etu, have the soldiers and horses of the rebel king Datou crossed the Yellow River?"

"Not yet, Wang Ni's bandit army is still active in Fengyang Mansion. According to the military report from Suzhou, Wang Ni's cavalry has appeared near Luojiaji."

"How far is it from the Yellow River?"

"There are still two hundred miles, and it's still too early to cross the Yellow River!"

Anhui in this era not only has the Yangtze River and Huaihe River, but also embraces the Yellow River from time to time. The course of the Yellow River diverts from the Huaihe River into the sea, so the Xuzhou section of the Yellow River is very close to Fengyang, Anhui. Anhui can embrace the Yellow River with just a little opening.

And this breach of the Yellow River is a big problem for both warring parties!

"How is the defense of the river?"

"Guide regiment training envoy Li Shajiabao, river governor Wang Guangyu, Xuzhou town commander Shang Kejiao have already sent troops to the embankment."

Suo'etu only said to send troops to the embankment, but he didn't say whether he was preparing to guard the embankment or to break the embankment. Fuquan didn't ask, but he just nodded, feeling satisfied.He wanted to ask about Kangxi's affairs, but he hesitated for a moment, changed the subject, and said, "Now, how many provinces are still sending the spring tax of Kangxi's 13th year to us?"

Compared with resisting Li Zhongshan's Northern Expeditionary Army, Fuquan was more concerned about the spring tax of Kangxi's 13th year!
In the 12th year of Kangxi’s reign, Fuquan’s Regent’s Mansion pocketed all the autumn taxes sent from various places. At that time, Kangxi was besieged, and the Qing Dynasty forces outside Xi’an all respected Fuquan, so of course all the taxes were given to him.

However, Xi'an has been rescued now, and Kangxi also specially ordered the local government to send him the spring tax of Kangxi's 13 years to Puzhou, Shanxi, and hand it over to Tong Guowei, the governor of Shanxi just appointed by Kangxi.Then Tong Guowei organized people to buy food, gunpowder, swords, armor, horses and other materials in Shanxi and send them to Xi'an.

"The spring tax in Zhili and Shandong has been sent to Beijing. The money and food in Shanxi have been sent to Xi'an. Shaanxi and Henan have become the frontiers of the war between the government and the rebels. The spring tax has been withheld by the local government for military expenses. gone."

"What about Liangjiang and Zhejiang? In the past, most of the imperial court's taxes fell on Liangjiang and Zhejiang. Who will the spring tax of Liangjiang and Zhejiang go to this year?"

When Suo'etu heard this question, he took out a copy with a smile, and handed it to Fuquan with both hands: "Regent, this is King An leading the Water Transport Governor Mingzhu, Jiangsu Governor Ma Hu, Anhui Governor Jin Fu, Jiangxi Governor Lang Tingxiang, Tian Fengji, the governor of Zhejiang, and the two rivers and three provinces and the feudal lords of Zhejiang, as well as the three major weaving doctors, the salt transportation envoy of the two Huaihe Rivers, and the chief steward of Ruixintang will write this book for you!"

"What? So many people went to Qiben together? What's the good thing?"

"A happy event! They know that the regent needs money here, so they raised a large sum of money, food, silk, and cloth for you!"

Fuquan was pleasantly surprised, but he didn't reveal too much. He paused for a moment and asked again, "How much is a big sum?"

"There are about 1000 million taels of silver, 800 million bolts of silk and cotton cloth, and 700 million shi of white rice!"

"Great!" Fuquan couldn't restrain himself anymore, and cheered.

He was already quite rich!

Although the official treasury in Beijing is empty, Yang Qilong, Li Zhongshan (Wang Zhongxiao), and Chen Yonghua have accumulated tens of millions of taels of deposits and family property for him in the past few years (most of them are special deposits of Ruixintang. ), it would not be an exaggeration to say that he is the richest man in the world!
Now that there are 1000 million taels of silver, 800 million silk and cloth, the total value of the goods in his hands can reach 3000 million taels!Before the world was in chaos, the annual income of the Qing Dynasty was no more than this.

With such a large sum of money, he is not afraid to compete with Kangxi for silver bullets!

Moreover, Liangjiang, Three Provinces, Zhejiang, Zhili, and Shandong also gave him money, which shows that these six provinces support his blessings!

The only one who sent money to Kangxi was Shanxi. In addition, Henan, Shaanxi, and Gansu probably also supported Kangxi, but these three provinces were already war zones, and they were not rich at first. Now they really have no money to send.

In other words, Kangxi won the support of four provinces at most.

In addition, Monan Mongolia outside the Great Wall is also listening to Fuquan now, while Chang Ning, Prince Yizheng Gong outside the pass, will probably stay out of the matter.

Therefore, Fuquan has six provinces plus Monan Mongolia, and Kangxi is supported by at most four provinces.

This is seven to four, Fuquan wins for sure!

After the silver bullet, of course it is the cannonball.

It seems that there are more troops loyal to Fuquan than those loyal to Kangxi!

Not to mention the troops on the territory of these seven provinces, but Fuquan is more than Kangxi than their respective direct descendants.

Now there are [-] new coat soldiers in Beijing, [-] Chahar Mongolian Banner Army, and [-] Tumed Banner Army. Three thousand Lilian troops, three thousand soldiers from the Green Battalion on patrol, two thousand cavalry soldiers from the Shanpu Battalion, two thousand Sauron and Barhu Banner troops from outside the customs, and a total of [-] troops!
These [-] troops are all well-equipped and well-trained elites. Except for the previous battle in Chahar, these troops have hardly been on the battlefield and have been recharging their energy.

Besides silver bullets and cannonballs, Fuquan also has a trump card in his hand. It is the meatball provided by Yang Qilong!

In addition to Yang Qilong's own sisters, there are also those girls he got from North Korea, who are also quite attractive. After Kangxi gives up the throne, give him more girls and let him enjoy it!

Just when he was thinking about something good, Suo'etu reminded him softly: "Regent, this book says that the Yellow River may be breached by rebels at any time, and the water transportation may be cut off at that time. The boat is halfway through, maybe it will all belong to Wang Ni."

"What should I do?" Fuquan was a little anxious, and at the same time a little angry - that big head Wang is too hateful!

"King An and Mingzhu proposed in the opening book that valuable things such as silver, silk, and cloth can be transported to Tianjin by sea."

Fuquan interrupted: "Yang Jiaqilong, how many ships are available on the Tianjin Customs Road you manage?"

"There are more than 100 ships, all of which are large ships with more than [-] materials!"

"Enough!" Fu Quan said, "Send them all to me, and transport all the goods, including food, to Tianjin Wei. But you don't have to go with the boat. Let that foreign slave Luo Dongni lead the team."

Fuquan kept an eye out and took Yang Qilong as a hostage.

"The slave leads the order."

Suo'etu and Yang Jiaqi received Fuquan's decree and both resigned.

Seeing them leave, Fuquan turned his head and asked the great monk Shunzhi, "Ama, look at this."

There were many smiles on the pale face of the great monk Shunzhi, and then he lowered his voice slightly and said: "Fuquan, you are indeed more capable than the third elder brother. If I had elected you as emperor earlier, the world today must be very stable. , it's not too late."

"Ama, do you really want to change the emperor?" Fuquan was a little uncertain, but he couldn't bear to ask.

"Change! Change if you want, it's also for Qing Dynasty, for the world."

"But how does the emperor want to change? He is far away in Xi'an now, so he can't send troops to fight?"

"Of course not," Shunzhi said in a low voice, "Fuquan, don't make a fuss. After the Tianjin Customs Road transports the goods to Beijing, I will find a way to lure the third elder brother to Beijing to confine him!"

Fuquan's expression was solemn, he pondered for a moment, and finally seemed to have made a huge determination, nodded and said: "For the sake of the world, for the sake of Qing Dynasty, I have no choice but to do so."

The place where Li Zhongshan is now stationed is a village called Luojiaji, which is located on a flat plain without any shelter.Because this area is sandwiched between the Yellow River and the Huaihe River, after the Yellow River took the Huaihe River into the sea in the Southern Song Dynasty, there were often floods here.During the reign of Chongzhen when the flood was the most serious, due to the abnormal climate, this area until Xuzhou City, which was [-] miles away, was flooded twice in five years. !

It's equivalent to living for five years and directly destroying the city. The current Xuzhou City was rebuilt on the original abandoned city.

Due to the severe flooding, the villages in this area were all built like castles. There was a circle of waterproof dikes around the villages, and some villages with strong financial resources would build the dikes high and thick.In the middle and late Qing Dynasty, it was difficult for the officers and soldiers with weak combat effectiveness to conquer these soil enclosures, and there were frequent floods in this area, which caused the common people to engage in a sideline job of looting and looting houses in times of disaster. The Nian Army in the Central Plains came from this.

However, although the Huaibei area is quite poor at present, the Nian Army has not yet developed. It's just that a lot of soil enclosures have been repaired in this "ji" and "ji", and the folk customs are quite sturdy.Even before the cavalry led by Li Zhongshan and Ma Weixing arrived, the tyrants in Luojiaji had formed their own regiments, and after being armed, they united with several nearby groups to take all the strongholds of the Qing Dynasty around Suzhou City. Unplugged.

At that time, Li Zhongshan, who was still calming the hearts of the people in Fengyangfu City and resettling the family members of the army, heard the news, and immediately drove to Luojiaji with Ma Weixing and two thousand cavalry.

Now the two thousand cavalry are stationed in Luojiaji, Nanpingji and Yuanjiaji, assuming they are about to attack Suzhou.

Li Zhongshan's central army was placed in a luxuriously furnished courtyard house in Luojiaji. There were more than a dozen tents around the house, and part of the cavalry from the Shanzi camp was stationed; sentry posts were set up at several nearby intersections. The security is tight.Shang Shuying also followed Li Zhongshan with a few female soldiers, and acted as a quartermaster, taking care of supplies, chores and so on.At the same time, he was still a hostage - because Liu Jinzhong was stationed in Fengyang City at this time, so Li Zhongshan brought Shang Shuying out.

But today she was called to Li Zhongshan's Chinese army duty room to participate in the military aircraft.

"Shuying, there seems to be an uncle of yours in Xuzhou. His name is Shang Kejiao. He is the general soldier of Xuzhou who just took office."

The reason why Li Zhongshan asked this question was, of course, that Zhou Chang was not in Zhou Chang but also in Fengyang, where there were more odd jobs, and he had to watch Liu Jinzhong!
"What?" Shang Shuying giggled, "Zhongtang, don't say that the Ke family named Shang is from my uncle's generation. This Shang Kejiao is not from my family. He is Shang Haoren, the former general of Wenzhou. son."

"A good man?" Li Zhongshan was taken aback, thinking: This name is so strange!

Shang Shuying knew that Li Zhongshan had misunderstood, so she explained with a smile: "Good and bad are good, benevolent and righteous are still good benevolent. Zhongtang, why did you ask him?"

"We may have to fight him." Li Zhongshan didn't hide anything from her, "I just received the Tang Bao from Nanjing. These days, Yue Le's offensive is very fierce. He has successively captured Xianhemen, Qilinmen, Cangmen Bomen, Gaoqiaomen, Shangfangmen. Geng Jingzhong sent your brother Shang Zhixin to lead a team to attack several times, but they failed to take advantage of Yue Le. It seems that all the gates of Nanjing Outer City except Jiangdongmen It won't be long before it's all lost.

In addition, Jieshu is not entangled with us in Hezhou, but crossed the river and captured Caishiji, and is now attacking Dangtu, Taiping Fucheng.

It seems that Yue Le was not fooled, if we can't show Yue Le a few times, Nanjing will be surrounded to death sooner or later! "

Of course Nanjing is not afraid of siege, but the problem is that Hong Xiuquan is not guarding Nanjing now!

Can Geng Jingzhong have the determination to stick to it for ten years?Maybe he was beaten by Yue Le until he knelt down and begged to surrender.In order to take this pig teammate with him, Li Zhongshan had to do something big in Jiangbei, and he could even cross the Yellow River and attack Xuzhou, an important town on the north bank of the Yellow River.

While studying Xuzhou's defense situation, he learned the name of Xuzhou Town's general soldier from Luo Dawei, the patriarch of Luojiaji. It sounded like Shang Shuying's uncle, but he didn't expect to misunderstand.

Thinking of this, Li Zhongshan asked again: "Shuying, do you know that this can still be taught? Can you turn to the light?"
