Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 11 Good Brothers Are Going to End the Qing Dynasty Together! (Seeking collection, seeking recommendation, seeking follow-up reading)
"I, Wu Shicong! I, Wang Shikai! I, Wu Shijue became brothers today, and we will share the blessings and hardships from now on; we will work together and never leave. The empress dowager, learn from this heart!"

In the back garden of Wu Guogui's Zhuangzi, in front of a bamboo grove that had been cut down a little bit, Wu Shicong, Wang Shikai, and Wu Shijue were kneeling in front of an altar with tablets of Liu, Guan, and Zhang, holding a big incense, and chanting.

Wu Sangui, Wu Yingqi, Wu Guogui, and Wang Fuchen were all witnesses of the triad in the bamboo forest, smiling and watching from the sidelines.

Another Wu Xiaotu was also standing by the edge of the bamboo grove, while playing with the hem of his clothes, he looked uneasily at the three people who were worshiping.It seems that something is wrong. The gambling fight that just ended seems to have something to do with her!Isn't she the "servant" who was put on the table as a bet?

She was so happy to help beat the drums to cheer just now, wouldn't this make people sell and help count the money?But the problem is, she knew from the very beginning that she was a "bet", and excitedly encouraged her brother to bet with Second Brother Wang.Now you can't be an old Lai, no, you should be a young Lai.You have to be willing to bet and admit defeat
When Wu Xiaotu was thinking wildly, Wu Sangui, Wu Yingqi, Wu Guogui, and Wang Fuchen had already stood up and prepared to leave.The three brothers Wu Shicong, Wang Shikai, and Wu Shijue bowed to the four of them together.

Wu Sangui smiled and said to the three little brothers: "In ancient times, there were three sworn brothers in Taoyuan, and now there are three sworn sworn brothers in Zhulin. I hope that the three of you can work together in the future, and serve the Qing Dynasty together. You will all be important ministers and famous generals of the Qing Dynasty!"

"The grandchildren (junior generations) follow the teachings carefully, and they must all be loyal (final) ministers of the Qing Dynasty."

Wu Shicong, Wang Shikai, and Wu Shijue responded in unison.

Wu Sangui nodded with a smile, and then said to Wang Fuchen: "Brother Fuchen, the three of them all know that they must be loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and we elders have to know the principle of being loyal to the emperor and patriotism. Let's discuss how to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty next."

The so-called loyalty to the Qing Dynasty, of course, means continuing to ask the Qing Dynasty for money.

Wang Fuchen's establishment is the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he is regarded as the domestic slave of the young emperor Kangxi.In theory, he came to Yunnan to look at Wu Sangui on behalf of Emperor Kangxi.

So he can still talk about adding money to Wu Sangui.

"It should be, it should be discussed carefully." Wang Fuchen was also very happy at the moment.This little bastard Wang Zhongxiao is doing well this time!According to the old man Wu Sangui, it's green out of blue and better than blue!That is to say, he is more capable than being an old man.It seems that this time when he enters Beijing, he may really find a way to become a royal guard.

In addition, Wang Fuchen himself has improved on Wu Sangui's side and has been regarded by Wu Sangui as one of his own!

With Wu Sangui's support, wouldn't it be a matter of time before he was promoted to admiral?
In a good mood, Wang Fuchen and Wu Sangui left together, and Wu Yingqi and Wu Guogui also followed.Outside the bamboo forest, only Wu Shicong, Wang Shikai, and Wu Shijue were left.

Wu Shicong is the eldest brother among the three, so of course he had to act like a big brother at this time, and said to Wang Shikai with a smile, "Shikai, go drink at my Zhuangzi. Let's get drunk first."

Wu Shijue was afraid that Wang Shikai would ask him for a girl, so he quickly echoed, "Let's go and have a drink!"

Wang Zhongxiao was about to nod his head in agreement, when he suddenly saw Wu Xiaotu jumping up and down from behind the bamboo grove, standing in front of Wang Zhongxiao with a blushing face, just looking down at his feet, without saying a word.

Of course Wang Zhongxiao understands what this little beauty is thinking. But don't worry about this matter!Wang Zhongxiao thought to himself: I still want to go to Beijing to help the little emperor capture Obai and become a loyal minister!For the sake of Qing Dynasty, I can't marry you "Wu Xiaotu" now.This is going to be Wu Sangui's grandson-in-law, how can I be the confidant of Emperor Kangxi?If you can't be Kangxi's confidant, you will lose the name of "Shikai", and I am afraid it will be difficult to be a "big minister" who will die for the Qing Dynasty.

As for working with Wu Sangui in Yunnan. I am Wang Shikai, not Wu Shikai, and I will not do the business of assisting Wu Sangui to become emperor.

Because Wu Sangui looked fierce, but he was actually an old Wu Adou who couldn't help himself.Otherwise, the reverse would have been successful in history, and Kangxi would probably be the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

Of course, Wu Xiaotu is innocent, so we can't let Xiaotu'er go.
When Wang Zhongxiao was thinking about abducting Wu Xiaotu away secretly, Wu Shicong already noticed that Wu Xiaotu's expression was a little weird, so he asked, "Xiaotu, what's wrong with you? Why are you blushing?"

"Brother Shi Cong, I, I, I... I was tired from playing the drums just now, so my face was a little red."

Wu Shicong nodded, looked at Wu Xiaotu carefully, and then glanced at Wang Zhongxiao, as if he understood something, so he said to Wu Xiaotu: "Xiaotu, since you are tired, go rest first, Second Brother Wang is now You and I and your second brother are officially sworn brothers, what can't be discussed? You don't have to worry." Then he patted his chest and said, "Everything is up to me!"

Xiaotu heaved a sigh of relief, and gave Wu Shicong another blessing, blushing and said: "Then I'll have to thank Brother Lao."

After speaking, he turned his head and ran away.

But Wu Shicong turned his head to Wang Zhongxiao and Wu Shijue and said, "Shikai, Shijue, go drink at my place!"

"Come on, brother Shikai, you should be shallow, and I should be deep. Shijue, you drink too, the three of us will only rest when we get drunk!"

Wu Shicong politely poured Wang Zhongxiao a bowl of wine, and then invited Wu Shijue to drink with him, like a big brother, as if he was the Liu among Liu, Guan, and Zhang.

Wang Zhongxiao is also a veteran of the wine shop, of course, it was a matter of his previous life!He has a good capacity for alcohol in his life, but if he drinks too much, he will get into trouble, and if he gets into trouble, he will lose his soul. So he dare not open his mouth to drink at the moment, so he has to wipe his mouth with a white handkerchief after a few sips, and put it in his mouth by the way. The wine to "wipe" off a little.

There's really nothing to say about this wine!

And Wu Shijue seemed to be preoccupied, because the wine was not good, he just poured a cup into his mouth, already a bit drunk, he picked up the wine glass and wanted to take a sip, but he couldn't drink it when he reached his mouth, so he slapped the wine glass on the table With the last smash, the two brothers Wu Shicong and Wang Shikai were startled, and they all turned their heads to look at him.

"Wang Shikai!" Wu Shijue finally bit the bullet and talked about the bet with the help of alcohol, "I, Wu Shijue, am convinced that I lost today, and I am willing to bet on me too. I, I will give you Xiaotu Tied up! Are you satisfied?"

What?Did you tie Xiaotu here?This is not allowed!Wang Zhongxiao said heartily: My little Tu, why are you tied up?I have to tie it myself
"Really little Tu? You, why do you two bet on little Tu?" Wu Shizhen actually saw something, but he was still surprised when Wu Shijue said it himself. He then asked, "Does Xiaotu know?"

"I know." Wu Shijue muttered, "She's not a good person either!"

"What about your father?" Wu Shicong asked again.

Wu Shijue shook his head like a rattle, "Of course he doesn't know, how could he know? If he knows, why not beat me to death?"

It turns out that Wu Shijue also has an unfilial father!

Wang Zhongxiao couldn't help but sympathized with Wu Shijue in his heart.

Wu Shicong frowned, and asked, "Shijue, if your father disagrees, how will your sister be handed over to Shikai?"

"This, this," Wu Shijue said in a low voice, "Brother, why don't you be a matchmaker? Anyway, my sister hasn't married anyone yet."

Wu Shicong turned his head to look at Wang Zhongxiao, "Shikai, what do you think?"

Wang Zhongxiao just shook his head lightly and said, "Not now."

"No?" Wu Shijue was anxious, "Wang Er, what's wrong with my sister?"

Wang Zhongxiao hurriedly explained: "Third brother, don't worry! I just said you can't do it now, have you forgotten who I am? I can't tell you that the media is marrying your sister right now."

"Your identity? Aren't you a fucking slave?" Wu Shijue suddenly came to his senses when he said this, "Wait, you are Baoyi, and my sister wants to marry you, so you also become Baoyi? "

"Isn't it?" Wang Zhongxiao said, "The wives and daughters in the coat are supposed to serve the master! That's why my old thing has been unwilling to renew the strings, and eight young wives who are not included in the roster of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have been taken in. How about letting you girl."

"No, no!" Wu Shijue shouted immediately, "My father won't agree!"

"Shijue, you misunderstood," Wang Zhongxiao waved his hand and said, "I mean let Xiaotu wait for a few more years, wait until I become an imperial guard, wait until my father is promoted to admiral, then spend some money to go away If the door raised a flag, wouldn't it be a matter of course?"

"What? How easy is it for you to be a bodyguard and your father to be an admiral?" Wu Shijue frowned, "How long has it been? My sister can afford to wait?"

Wang Zhongxiao said heartily: "It's okay if I can't wait, I can receive the goods first!"

He was about to raise the issue of receiving the goods first with Wu Shijue. Wu Shizheng, a good big brother, came here to do good things. Wu Shizheng thought about it and said, "Uncle Wang has been the head of the town for more than ten years, and he has already accumulated enough qualifications to be promoted to admiral." , and his old man is a Han army in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. As long as the money is in place, there is nothing difficult for an admiral. As for raising the flag, it is even a trivial matter. Uncle is only in the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it is not real On dry coating errands."

Wang Zhongxiao said with a smile: "If my father is really an official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, with his grade, the four major weaving are not enough for him to do, and he can't be greedy for 20 to [-] taels of snowflake silver a year? Qi, the gang in the House of Internal Affairs still beat drums and gongs to send him away?
When I become a bodyguard this time, I will definitely help my father who is not good at learning, and I must buy a fatter admiral. I must earn more, or I will lose money!Big brother, third brother, don't always squint in Yunnan, you have to go out if you want to prosper. "

"Going out? Where are you going?" Wu Shijue asked.

Wu Shicong shook his head: "It's not easy to go out now, my grandfather's right to 'West Selection' has been taken back by the imperial court."

Wang Zhongxiao said with a smile, "My lord's loss of the right to choose the West is just to prevent him from earning money. The old man has made money to do big things, and he won't share with you. Besides, his old man has so many former officials, all of them are waiting for him." Arrangement, how can I take care of you? If you want to make money, you can't just point to grandpa, you have to figure out your own way. And you don't have to be an official to make money, you can make money by enclosing land for business."

"Enclosure? Where to enclose it? What's the use of enclosing it?"

"Business? How can we do business? We can only be officials!"

Wang Zhongxiao looked at the two final ministers of the Qing Dynasty who didn't know that they would usher in the "first rebellion" in their lives in a few years, and said with a smile: "Let's talk about enclosing land first, you can go to Fushun County, Xuzhou Prefecture, Sichuan Province." !"

"Fushun County, Xuzhou Prefecture, Sichuan Province?" Wu Shijue was confused.

"This is." Wu Shicong seemed to have thought of something.

Wang Zhongxiao smiled and said three words: "Ziliujing!"

"Well salt?"

"Chuan salt?"

Both Wu Shicong and Wu Shijue's eyes lit up. They don't know much about Fushun County, but they don't know about the famous Ziliujing?In the Ming Dynasty, the artesian well that produced well salt was a "money well" that sprayed money out twelve hours a day!

Wang Zhongxiao said: "Sichuan went through the turmoil in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. Although the population has decreased by [-]%, the fertile soil is still there, and the salt industry in Ziliujing is still there! If our brothers can join hands to take down the salt industry in Ziliujing, we will be in Fushun at the same time. There are thousands of hectares of fertile land under the county circle. That is wealth that children and grandchildren can't eat up!

Moreover, with the support of Ziliujing Salt Industry, we can gather people in Fushun County and even the entire Syrian prefecture to enclose land and reclaim wasteland.It is also possible to operate Ziliujing as a hub for transporting horses, saltpetre, and sulfur from Gansu, Shaanxi and Sichuan to the south. These are all good deals!Not only can you make money, but you can also strengthen the military equipment of Yunnan and Guizhou. This is a good thing for being loyal to the emperor and patriotic! "

"But...Will Sichuan Yanfa Dao intervene?" Wu Shicong still has a lot of thoughts. He already thought that Sichuan Yanfa Dao would intervene when his family seized the salt industry in Ziliujing.

"That's right! Both Xuzhou Prefecture and Fushun County are easy to talk about. They are right next to our Yunnan province. I dare not offend my grandfather. But Yanfa Taoist inspects the production of salt farms, evaluates the price of salt, and manages water and land transport affairs. This is a big problem." A huge fat gap! Those who can fill this gap are likely to be someone from the court! If the salt law cannot be settled, even if he can’t interfere with the salt industry that we took down Ziliujing, he can still block the route of smuggling salt. "

Wang Zhongxiao patted himself on the chest: "When I become a bodyguard, won't we have someone in the court? At that time, let's spend more money and arrange for one of our own to be the Sichuan Yanfa Taoist?"

Wu Shijue was overjoyed when he heard the words, "Okay! It's a deal!"

Wu Shicong also nodded heavily, "Our three brothers are loyal to the Qing Dynasty together!"

Wang Zhongxiao saw the atmosphere brighten up, and the smile on his face became even bigger, and he said to the two people in front of him with a smile: "Brother, third brother, I am going to Beijing to buy an official. But I am a little tight, and I can only scrape together a thousand dollars." 800 taels of silver. If you two have some savings, can you lend it to me first? When I become a bodyguard and get greedy, I will definitely pay back twice as much."
