Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 959 Do it boldly, if you dare to break through, you will succeed
"The young master wants to go back to Quwo's ​​hometown?"

Shuan Zhu's question was too level-headed, and it didn't fit his Crouching Dragon position at all.

Presumably, the damage to his soul caused by the fact that the young master wanted to kill the master has not yet healed.

Even if the young master thoughtfully married Qiutao, who was next to the third young lady, as his wife, and gave him a nobleman from Qianlong as a concubine, and also gave him the three-year salary from the 38th year of Qianlong to the 40th year of Qianlong, it still failed. Eliminate the legacy of this matter.

It will take some time.

Can understand.

Jia Liu was not in a hurry, and he didn't arrange any errands for Shuan Zhu recently. Apart from being an imperial minister, he just asked him to study more.

I mainly read books on human geography from Western countries brought and translated by priests.

In addition, Shuan Zhu was given the title of Chief Manager of the "Map Office", responsible for convening priests, external personnel, and some experts from the Ministry of Industry and the Manufacturing Office to specialize in making world maps, maps of various countries, and collecting nautical charts and hydrological conditions. , as well as the history and current status of the colonial development of Western countries.

One is to prepare for the new teaching;

The second is to provide information for the army.

In addition to the Maps Division, the Internal Affairs Committee also established a Science and Technology Division.

The office has only one responsibility, which is to buy the latest research results from Western countries through heavy money, and try to get these research results back to China.

The required funds are allocated directly by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so as not to be criticized and restricted by the cabinet for spending too much money.

"What is Quwo's ​​hometown? The emperor is going to Nanjing to pay homage to the Xiaoling Mausoleum!"

It has to be Lao Ah who has a high awareness and has already determined that the ancestor of His Majesty the Emperor is Zhu Yuanzhang, a giant dragon with a household registration in Fengyang.

"Although the Jiangnan area obeys the central government in name, it is actually a separatist regime controlled by Prince Heshuo Zheng. Your Majesty's southern tour to worship ancestors has real and long-term far-reaching benefits. I think it is urgent to solve the Jiangnan issue. With the continuous prosperity of our dynasty , The reunification of the national territory is already a sacred mission that I cannot shirk."

As the prime minister and deputy minister in charge of the Ministry of War, Lao Ah directly said one, two, three.

The general idea is to use the name of the southern tour to completely solve the Jiangnan area. In terms of force, the two armies of Shandong and Henan can be mobilized, and the third army can be deployed from the Hubei battlefield to go east along the river.

If necessary, Wuchang can be asked to cooperate, and the Black Banner Army, which is operating along the coast of Zhejiang, can also be asked to turn north with a feint, so that the north and south can use troops at the same time.

If Prince Heshuo is sensible, he will come to Beijing to be a hat king for generations and enjoy that honor.

If you don't know how to be interesting, let him and Prince An's color trace map sweep the streets in Changping.

After the settlement of the Jiangnan area, they can use the excuse of mediating the conflict between Hangzhou general Chengde and Zhejiang governor Wang Danwang to send troops into Zhejiang, and then capture Xianxia Pass and take Fuzhou directly, so as to realize the great unification of the southeast region.

Since Jia Liu personally ordered people to spread rumors about Wang Danwang Tuman in Hangzhou, Hangzhou City can be said to be in a state of emergency.

The soldiers and civilians of the Eight Banners in the city are in the same situation as the soldiers and civilians of the Han people outside the city. Both sides are afraid that the other party will retaliate against them.

Especially the soldiers and civilians of the Eight Banners all over the city are panicked.

Books such as "Ming Yi Dai Fang Lu" and "Ten Diaries of Yangzhou" that were previously banned by the Qing government suddenly circulated in the market. These books exposing the massacre of Han people by the Qing army in the early days of the country further intensified the confrontation between Banner and Han.

Now Zhejiang is not only Hangzhou, but other places are also like a cauldron, where members of social organizations and anti-Qing righteous fighters are ready to move.

There have been many incidents of members of civil society assassinating local officials of the Qing court.

In late September, the Black Banner Army, which sailed from Taiwan to Dinghai, Zhejiang Province, captured Dinghai City in one fell swoop, and then landed on the coast of Ningbo. Form a monstrous momentum.

At this juncture, Hangzhou is confronted nervously because of the confrontation between Banners and Han, so that neither the Green Battalion nor the Eight Banners Army dare to send troops out of the city, which will certainly lead to disaster.

However, even though some insightful people in the official circles of Zhejiang kept persuading the governor and generals to explain, Wang Danwang himself came forward many times to clarify that he had no intention of attacking Mancheng, but the consequences of the rumors were as irreversible as old evils.

Even if Hangzhou General Cheng De wanted to join forces with Wang Danwang to deal with the "foreign enemy" Black Banner Army, the Eight Banners officers and soldiers under him would not go out of the city to fight.

The reason is that they are afraid that once they leave Hangzhou, the wives and children in the city will be retaliated by the Han people.

Now it is only a matter of adding another handful of dry firewood, and Hangzhou will immediately turn into a hell on earth.

Knowing that Guiziliu has entered the capital, and after Qianlong and his son announced their resignation, both Chengde and Wang Danwang realized that they could no longer fight against Guiziliu, so they privately sent people to the capital to restart negotiations with the Restoration Court.

But today is different from the past. For these two powerful factions in Zhejiang, the only condition Jia Liu gave was to obey the court unconditionally, and everyone waited for the Hou court to deal with them.

This condition was obviously too harsh, so neither Chengde nor Wang Danwang dared to agree easily.

Of course, there is also a wait-and-see mentality.

After all, even though Guizi Liu was in charge of the capital, the Eight Banners outside the Guan, the Mongolian vassals, and the Northwest, Southwest, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and other regions still have not made a clear statement.

Therefore, they are all with the idea of ​​​​taking another look.

Therefore, in the event of civil strife in Hangzhou, the reform court could justifiably send troops into Zhejiang. Pushing all the way to Nanping in this way is a replica of the Southern Expedition of the soldiers at the beginning of the country.

It's just that Lao Ah's awareness is there, but this time he still misunderstood.

The six emperors did not tour the south, but the east.

"What I want to sacrifice is Fuling."

Jia Liu gave Shuan Zhu and Lao Ah an angry look.

Fuling, Nurha Chiling, Emperor Taizu of the Qing Dynasty, is also the first imperial tomb of the Qing Dynasty.

The real ancestor of Aixinjueluo is buried inside.

"Fuling?"

The old man suddenly realized, "As a descendant of Aixinjueluo, it is only natural for His Majesty to burn a few pieces of paper money for Emperor Taizu outside the customs. One ancestor has many paths."

Shuan Zhu understood: "The young master wants to use force to solve the Eight Banners outside the pass?"

"Whether to stage a human tragedy in the Liaoxi Corridor in which the children of Aixinjueluo killed each other, or stage a moving scene of the Emperor of the Restoration speaking broadly to the generals, depends on whether the gang of reactionaries in the Eight Banners outside the Guanwai are acting against the sky. It’s still a blessing in disguise.”

The Six Emperors were taken aback by Lao Ah's broadcast accent.

However, Lao A guessed wrong again.

Jia Liu waved his hand: "I just said that the Eight Banners outside the customs are nothing but clowns, so there is nothing to worry about. What I worry about is Russia."

"Russia?"

Lao Ah and Shuan Zhu were taken aback.

The former was in a daze because Russia had something to worry about, while the latter didn't know which side Russia belonged to.

Russia is what Jia Liu's former netizens called a fighting nation, and now he is called a Rakshasa.

In fact, this nation has more defeats than wins in foreign wars. Basically, the surrounding countries can beat him violently. The real foreign powers do that kind of thing, so it is definitely not worthy of the title of fighting nation.

And it is China's biggest enemy.

Because this nation has occupied almost one-third of China's territory.

Right now, in addition to the military power Myanmar, there is another great power that can pose a threat to China.

Since Kangxi signed the Treaty of Nerchinsk with Russia, and transferred most of the territory of Nurgan Dusi in the area controlled by the Ming Dynasty to Tsarist Russia, his son Yongzheng signed the "Treaty of Chakhtu" with Russia, ceding 10,000+ square kilometers again Land to Tsarist Russia.

Up to now, Tsarist Russia's tentacles have extended to Heilongjiang, and about 500 million square kilometers of land have been completely eaten away by it in the past hundred years.

During the reign of Qianlong, three disputes broke out with Russia.

In this regard, Qianlong's method was not to use force, but to strongly protest and declare a closed-door embargo at the same time, trying to force the Russians to surrender by means of a trade war.

It may be because he knew that the strength of the Qing Dynasty was not enough to deal with Russia, and he had no intention of taking back the land ceded by his grandfather and father.

If there is a war against Russia in "Shiquan Martial Arts", the gold content of the fourth devil in the eyes of future generations may rise several points.

The trade war is effective in this era.

Jia Liu learned something from Minister Yonggui of the Ministry of Household Affairs. He said that the trade volume between China and Russia was 20 million rubles 108 years ago under Qianlong, but it dropped to 4.4 rubles in less than three years after the embargo was announced.

Now the trade volume between the two sides has increased again, stabilizing at around 60 to 80 rubles.

But this data is the number reported by General Heilongjiang, whether it is true or not, the imperial court has not sent personnel to check it in detail.

After all, this trade volume is huge in the eyes of the Eight Banners outside the customs, but it is not worth mentioning in the prosperous customs.

In Jia Liu's previous life, he had read several stories about time travelers. Most of the time travelers chose to compete with Western countries for the sea after governing the country.

This approach cannot be said to be wrong, but it seems that there is a more practical way to go.

For example, killing Tsarist Russia to the north and seizing Southeast Asia and India to the south is enough to make the lighthouse stand in the east.

The difficulty of using troops on land is definitely less than that of using troops thousands of miles away at sea.

Especially India, which can be called the jewel in the crown of the queen of the empire on which the sun never sets, already shows its importance.

At present, Jia Liulian has not achieved complete reunification of the country, so he can't afford to go on an expedition to seize the springboard of Burma, but he wants to keep outside the customs no matter what, and then push Tsarist Russia out of Asia.

In fact, Russia was able to obtain millions of square kilometers of land in the East not because they could fight, nor because the Qing government could not fight, but because there was no one outside the customs!

At that time, the Ming Dynasty was able to extend the actual control area of ​​​​the territory all the way to the north. The reason why the Nurgan Dusi was established was because the Ming Dynasty had people and garrisons in this vast area.

However, after the rise of the Qing Dynasty outside the customs, it killed millions of Han people, and then regarded the outside of the customs as the place where Longxing made his fortune, and did not allow Han people to leave the customs to live. As a result, only a few soldiers and civilians lived on millions of square kilometers of land 10 people.

These people include the Eight Banners who stayed outside the pass, Sauron, Mongolia, and the so-called Huangyang savages.

Except for larger cities such as Shengjing, the settlements in other places can be called larger if they have hundreds of people.

It is truly uninhabited.

No matter how large the land is, no one lives on it means that there is no stable logistical support, and no stable logistical support means that there is no garrison at all.

In case of war, troops can only be dispatched from areas thousands of miles away, so the transportation of grain and grass alone is a big trouble.

Therefore, Russia moved eastward without encountering any obstacles until it reached the Heilongjiang area, which the Qing Dynasty regarded as a confidant.

No one knows better than Jia Liu the strategic value outside the pass, and how far Tsarist Russia is going to expand, so he has to win the pass, and then keep pulling people outside the pass.

It doesn't matter whether it's the official or the rich beggars' gang, anyway, if you don't bring millions of idle labor to live outside the customs, this land will definitely be taken away by others.

In my previous life, I didn’t realize the importance of the outside of the Guandong until the Qing Dynasty was about to fall, and began to lift the wicker border ban, and then the government and the people entered the Guandong on a large scale. It took more than 20 years to make the Northeast have a population of tens of millions. homeland.

Therefore, Jia Liu tended to use force to deal with the reactionary forces of the Eight Banners outside the customs, and dealt with the more than 3 Eight Banners cavalry who claimed to be bloody, laying the foundation for the Han people to leave the customs on a large scale.

We must know that the Northeast not only has fertile land, but also has all kinds of high-quality coal and iron mines needed for industrial development, as well as ice-free ports.

It's not too late to do this.

And it is necessary to thoroughly and completely eliminate the legacy of Manchuria outside the pass, so that this piece of homeland outside the pass can truly be rebuilt on a blank sheet of paper.

It is planned to mobilize two main forces to march eastward, first smashing Shengjing, then taking Jilin, and finally sweeping Ninggu Pagoda. This matter is as important as Beiyang trade.

"You are in charge of the military department, and you must come up with a detailed troop dispatch plan by the end of the month at the latest."

Jia Liu recognized Lao Ah's ability. Although Qianlong called him an incompetent waste, he found that Lao Ah was just like the big western clock. This word is very powerful.

As long as the goal is given and the key points are given, Lao Ah can continue to do things.

This is probably a common problem of bureaucracy in this era.

After explaining the East Tour, Jia Liu summoned Xu Ji, the governor of Tianjin, Gao Delu, his second brother-in-law who is currently in Daotai, Zhu Dawen, who is going to be the deputy supervisor of Tianjin Customs, and heads of relevant departments such as customs and commercial halls, a total of 23 people.

It mainly talked about several important spirits around how to manage trade affairs well.

"This time to do business with Western countries in the hinterland of the capital, you have to be more courageous, don't be conservative, and don't have any ideas about pots and pans, a little courage is better than anything else! Opportunities are made by breaking through, how can they be calculated? ?

If you dare to break through, you will surely succeed. This year, you will earn 1000 million taels first, and next year you will strive to earn 5000 million taels. It will not be a problem to earn hundreds of millions of taels in a few years. "

Having said that, Jia Liu took out the cigarette case and signaled the staff to distribute one to each person present, and then said to Tianjin Governor Xu Ji:

"I told you that the sea trade in Guangdong can earn 5000 million taels a year, so don't think that it is impossible for you, Futai Lord, to earn hundreds of millions a year. I will give you a policy. You just need to be bold and don't worry about it. When the sky falls, I will support you."
