Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 263 Infernal Affairs: Beiyang Minister Yang Jia Rising! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)
"On the road? Can't go on the road!"

In the yamen of the Governor of Water Transport in Huai'an, as soon as Mingzhu proposed to escort food, gold, silver, silk and other things to the north immediately, someone immediately objected.

Mingzhu, who had been caught twice, was in jail, and in a prison van, was terrified because of the "Li Zhongtang Northern Expedition". The man cast a vicious look.

The man was about forty or fifty years old, with a medium build, his sideburns and beard were still black, and his eyes were piercing, giving people the impression of being shrewd and capable.

Seeing Mingzhu staring at him, the man was not angry at all, he just shook his head and said, "Uncle, I really can't go on the road. My Jiangbei camp really doesn't have many soldiers and horses to escort you and those treasures to the north."

It turned out that Mingzhu stared at her nephew, named Nala Muzhan. He was the great-grandson of Jin Taishi, head of the Jurchen Yehe Department. The seniority is a generation shorter.

This Nala Mu Zhan is also one of the few people in the Qing Dynasty who participated in the last wave of Ming and Qing wars, but he didn't participate much. He just caught up with Tong Jia Zhuo Luo, a giant who once followed Manchuria's white flag. They went to Pingyunnan to fight against Li Dingguo together, and then stationed in Yunnan for a period of time, and followed Wu Sangui, Wang Fuchen, Zhang Yong and others to fight chieftains and level up.

However, after finishing the level training, he was cast idle and sent to be the deputy commander of the Yellow Banner Manchuria. Who made him the most direct descendant of Jintaishi?When the princes of Aixinjueluo's family can't lead troops, how can the descendants of Jintaishi lead troops?
However, as the Qing Dynasty lost several important battles one after another, Kangxi and Fuquan all began to "think of Oboi in national disaster" and "Sido Ama in national disaster". Naturally, Nala Muzhan was appointed and Jiangbei The important task of the minister in charge of the camp.

It is of course the responsibility of Mu Zhan, the minister in charge of Jiangbei Daying, to protect the unimpeded water transportation in Jiangbei.But this responsibility, he can't afford it now.The total number of soldiers in the Jiangbei camp was more than 2, of which Shi Lang's navy accounted for [-], and there were more than [-] people left. Originally, they only needed to guard Huai'an and Yangzhou, and let the Northern King Liu Jinzhong of the Ming Dynasty advance eastward. That's it.

Unexpectedly, when the three major battalions of Jiangxi, Jiangnan, and Jiangdong of the Qing army suppressed Nanjing, the Third Prince Zhu and King Gengdong of Nanjing City squeezed out an army from Nanjing and handed it over to the little job who changed his name to Li Zhongshan King Lu Bu is the big head, and let him be the governor of Jiangbei!

And this little guy, Lu Bu, is really naughty and fierce. As soon as he crossed the Yangtze River, he flew into a rage, and directly played the banner of "Three Thousands of Tigers and Bens, Sweeping the Land of Swallows", and within half a month after crossing the river, he went straight to Qianming The central capital is Fengyang.The Deputy Minister of Jiangxi Daying who guarded Fengyang, Prince Jian Labu, originally wanted to rely on Fengyang to defend the city, but he fell into the enemy's trick to lure the enemy, and was tricked out of the city by a small number of vanguard cavalry of the Ming army. Thousands of fine cavalry , and was ambushed by "thousands of bird spearmen", and more than half of the thousands of cavalry were lost!
These are Eight Banners Soldiers!

Half of the Eight Banners cavalry who participated in the leadership were wiped out in one battle. How could the remaining Fengyang defenders dare to be tough?

On the second day after those defeated soldiers fled back to Fengyang City, the regiment training of Fengyang Mansion, which cooperated with Labu to defend the city, was greatly shaken. Several regiment leaders even started plotting to kill Prince Jane Labu and then surrendered the city to the Ming Dynasty.

Although the plot was discovered by the guards of Labu's palace and the leaders of the regiment training were arrested and killed in time, the remaining regiment leaders and the regiment members under them refused to work hard, and even began to set up barricades in Fengyang City, preparing to fight against the Qing army. Fight civil war "war within the city".This is still a yarn!La Bu is not a monster like his great-grandfather Shuerhaji and grandfather Jierhalang, and he has no way of attacking Huaixi, a gang in Fengyang City.Only overnight with the flag soldiers and the green battalion soldiers ran away to Lujiang, and gave a good Fengyang city and thousands of Huaixi regiments in the city directly to "Li Zhongtang"!
And Labu's escape made the Jiangbei and Jiangxi camps of the Qing Dynasty miserable.

Originally, Jiangbei Daying only needed to defend the area west of the canal, and this area was blocked by Gaoyou Lake, Shaobo Lake, Baima Lake, Sanhe, and the canal, as well as Yangzhou Jiancheng and Gaojiayan. If it was impossible, we could dig Gaojiayan Use water instead of soldiers.Therefore, more than 1 green battalion land divisions with weak combat effectiveness are enough.

But once Fengyang Fucheng was lost, that "Li Zhongtang" not only got a large number of brave Huaixi soldiers, but also could directly cross the Huaihe River to attack the Central Canal in Huaibei!
If that "Li Zhongtang" knew that Mingzhu was escorting a large amount of grain, silk, cloth, and silver that the Qing Dynasty looted from the south of the Yangtze River to the north, he would undoubtedly come to block the way and rob!
"Mu Zhan, can you see if this works? We can go north quietly, and we can transport grain and grass separately from silk, cloth, and silver! I will go first with silk, cloth, and silver, and you will send one or two thousand elite soldiers to escort them. "

Mingzhu still doesn't give up, he really doesn't want to be caught again. And he still loves Daqing!Knowing that King Yu, the regent of the Qing Dynasty, is very difficult now, and urgently needs to obtain the property looted from the southeast.

The headline here is that the silver deposits that Yuan Linjing raised for Yu Wang Fuquan from those salt merchants and private merchants in Yangzhou, Suzhou, and Hangzhou amounted to seventy-eight million taels!There is also the old foundation of Yangzhou Lianghuai Salt Transport Yamen, which is 800 million taels.

In addition, there are silk and cloth stored in the three weaving warehouses of Hangzhou Weaving, Suzhou Weaving, and Yangzhou Weaving that are gathered in Huai'an now-these are the old foundations that the three major weaving houses have preserved for many years.

According to Mu Tianyan, the chief minister of Jiangsu Province, the silver deposits in the accounts of the three major weaving yamen were also used to purchase silk and cloth, and almost all the silk that could be bought in Hangzhou, Suzhou, Yangzhou, and Songjiang (Songjiang cloth) And cotton cloth are all bought out.

If the Qing Dynasty could not keep the southeast or maintain the water transport in the end, then the silver transported to Beijing would not be as fragrant as these silk and cotton cloths!
And such a large amount of wealth is very important to any party in this troubled world!

If King Yu can get this money, he will be completely stunned.
"No, no, it's too dangerous! Money touches people's hearts. Even if we can hide it from Wang Datou, we can still hide it from those people in Shandong and Henan."

The one who said it was too dangerous was Suzhou Weaving Cao Xi. He was originally from Jiangning Weaving, but ran away during the Jiangning Uprising, and was later appointed by Kangxi as Suzhou Weaving.

Of course he didn't want Fuquan to get such a large sum of money!

But what he said makes sense!
Now the Qing Dynasty has set up four feudal towns in Shandong and Henan, and there are no feudal envoys—it sounds reminiscent of the disaster of the feudal towns in the Tang Dynasty, so they took a step back and called Tuan Lianshi.

In Shandong, two towns were sealed, Zhang Yong, the training envoy of the Dongchang regiment, and Zhao Liangdong, the training envoy of the Tai'an regiment. Zhang Yong was in charge of Dongchang Prefecture, Linqing Prefecture, and Caozhou Prefecture, while Zhao Liangdong was in charge of Yanzhou, Jining, and Tai'an.Both of these towns are on the canal
In the two towns in Henan, there are Shijiabao, the training envoy of the Guide regiment, and Fan Chengxun, the training envoy of the Runing regiment. Among them, the Guide Mansion and Chenzhou Mansion that Sha Jiabao is in charge of are not far from the Grand Canal.However, Fan Chengxun's Runing and Gwangju are far away from the canal, so they should not be able to rob the treasure of Mingzhu.

"Did they dare?" When Mingzhu said this, her heart was very empty.

"Why don't you dare?" Mu Zhan said, "After the robbery is over, if the Yellow River is pulled up and flooded, there will be no way to investigate!"

As expected of a time-honored villain!

He is much more vicious than Mingzhu and Cao Xi!
"This, what should I do?" Mingzhu was a little numb, anxious!
He is now a "Ming millionaire". In troubled times, there is no army, but a rich man with a lot of wealth in his hands, and a wicked nephew by his side!
"It's better to go by sea!" Yuan Linjing, the head of the Jiangnan branch of Ruixintang who "took money", gave Mingzhu a trick, "Water transportation has gone by sea since the end of Ming Dynasty, that is, ships from the Huaihe River to the sea, and then Bypass Shandong to Tianjin Wei. Now there are fleets on the Tianjin Customs Road that can go to Liaodong and North Korea, let them come to Huai’an, and they can take away all the good things, and the remaining food can go to the canal. It’s not a big problem.”

Grain may also be withheld, but Zhang Yong, Zhao Liangdong, and Sakyamuni would never give up their lives for a few million stones of grain. If they want food, they just take it, and the court will not pursue it.

After all, the regent is not short of hungry soldiers!
"But isn't Yang Qilong Wang Datou's in-law?" Mu Zhan immediately reminded him, "What if he robs these good things and throws them at Wang Datou?"

"That won't be the case," Mingzhu shook her head, then smiled mysteriously, and said to her nephew, "Well, that Lalan'er is also surnamed Yang, and she is also Yang Qilong's sister. A big fat boy was born!"

"What? And this thing?" Of course Mu Zhan knew Nala Lan'er—they were all from the Nala family, and he was the "patriarch" of the Nala family. helped.He can now be the general manager of the Jiangbei camp, thanks to Lan'er's pillow breeze.

Now Jiangbei Daying seemed a little dangerous, and he wanted to ask this girl and Fuquan to continue bragging and change to a safer place.

"Then it's okay, Lan Er is his sister and my sister, so he and I are brothers!" Mu Zhan thought for a while, and said to Mingzhu, "Then let's write a book for the regent!"

The sixth day of June in the 14th year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty.

Beijing.

In a value room in the Prince Regent's Mansion between the Donghua Gate of the Forbidden City and the Dong'an Gate of the Imperial City, several ministers of Beijing's left-behind department were flying [-] miles away with the three provinces of Shandong, Henan, Jiangsu and the Governor's Office of Water Transport. The delivered military newspaper was gasping for breath.Everyone's faces are pale, you look at me, I look at you.

Suo'etu, the head minister of the left-behind department, sat on the kang table, holding a bowl of hot tea in a daze, motionless.

The voices of the few left-behind ministers below gradually sounded.

". These are three thousand tigers, sweeping straight to the land of Youyan! This king wants to imitate the Northern Expedition of the Red Scarf Army, and take over our Beijing city just like he took over Yuan Shangdu! This little job Lu Bu is worse than the real Lu Bu Ruthless!"

"Nonsense, the city of Beijing is not the upper capital of Yuan Dynasty, but the capital of Yuan Dynasty. How many people does this little worker Lu Bu have under his command? In the end, Huo Huoer will go to Henan and Shandong, and he will not be able to reach Beijing. Besides, since he knows that 'Hu Ben three Qian, you should also know what happened to the Red Turban Army about the matter of sweeping the land of Youyan?"

"That's true. So speaking of him threatening to attack Beijing, it was a feint. Then what is his real purpose?"

"Where else? Xi'an! He must want to help Wu Yingxiong beat Xi'an!"

"Help Wu Yingxiong? Why?"

"Don't you know? Wu Sangui has made his grandson Wu Shifan the grandson. Wu Shifan's sister of the same father and mother is Wang Datou's concubine, and she has probably become a regular now!"

"Then what should the emperor do? Will it be?"

Hearing that the content of the discussion turned to a sensitive topic, Suo'etu slammed the teacup in his hand, and slowly raised his head: "Why are you panicking? Isn't it just a partisan of a traitor? It is clear that it is to encircle Wei and save Zhao, is it?" He rescued the rebels in Jiangning. And Wang Datou is not a rogue, how could he come to Beijing? His most important thing now is to keep Jiangning and take down Jiujiang and Anqing! With Jiujiang and Anqing, his father's Guangdong soldiers will be able to flow Keep going north and south of Jiangxi. Only in this way can he secure Cao Mengde's position in Jiangdong!"

Not to mention, this Suo'etu's eyes are quite sharp, and he can see the key to the southern battlefield at a glance-the key is not the battle of Nanjing, but Jiujiang and Anqing!
As long as Jiujiang and Anqing are still in the hands of the Qing Dynasty, the anti-Qing forces in the south will be divided into two large parts, and it is not impossible to communicate with each other, but it is not easy for the army to leave.Once Jiujiang and Anqing were captured, the Qing Dynasty would be completely over in the two rivers.

Once the two rivers are lost, the Qing army in Zhejiang and Fujian will also end!

At that time, the anti-Qing forces in the south will become one. Oh, maybe two or three!

If Wu Sangui and Jiangnan can reach an agreement, then the Qing Dynasty will be finished at any time, or else it will be able to maintain a three-pointer.

However, the Qing Dynasty is not unified now. Will Kangxi use Wang Datou's Northern Expedition to lead his army back to aid Beijing?
If he returns to help, then there will be big trouble
Thinking of this, Suo'etu couldn't sit still anymore, stood up alone and said to the ministers in the room: "I'm going to see the regent, you are all waiting here, the regent is wise and wise, let's listen to him! "

Is this right?
What if the emperor wants to come back?
The other left-behind ministers in the room didn't know that Fuquan had the "maker of the Shunzhi will" and could send a will to dismiss Kangxi at any time, so they were all nervous at the moment!
No one wanted to discuss Wang Datou's Northern Expedition with Suo Etu, a loyal minister who didn't know how to live or die.
"Prince Regent, this slave has been wronged. This slave is even more wronged than Dou E. You know, the ancestor of this slave was in charge of the Nzi Mansion for the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and it has been in charge of this for generations. The prettiest mother N in N’s mansion went to Tianjin to live a happy life, and in the end, I left these beautiful women in trouble for my slaves!”

The ones kneeling in the flower hall in the back garden of the Prince Regent's Mansion, weeping and crying for grievances are of course Yang Xiaohuan, Yang Xiaomi (Nala Lan'er), and Yang Ziyun's good brother Yang Qilong.

He has been undercover playing Infernal Affairs for the past two years, which is called Shunliu, and he has been carried from a coat slave to Manchuria with a white flag (Yu Wang Fuquan is the small banner owner of the bordered white flag)!
It is the Manchurian flag bordered with white, not the Han army bordered with white flags!With this mention, his surname was changed to Yang Jiaqilong!In addition to raising the flag and changing his surname, his official position has also risen rapidly, and now he has become the Minister of Beiyang Commerce and Industry. Although the jurisdiction is still the Tianjin Customs Road, the minister is a senior official, and he has been given a second-rank grade!
Just when he was getting closer and closer to the highest level of undercover, Wang Zhongxiao, who had changed his name and surname to Li Zhongshan, suddenly came and said, "Three thousand tigers, sweep straight to the land of Youyan"!
This is so much fun!

The Wang family ruled Guangdong, and it was nothing to be a loyal minister of the four dynasties of Ming, Qing, Dashun, and Wu. The anti-thieves are powerful, and if they can't be caught or defeated, what can the court do?Open one eye and close one eye.

But now Wang Zhongxiao wants the Northern Expedition to trouble the Qing Dynasty!

What can Yang Jiaqilong do?

Although his current strength is not small, he can definitely do a big job in Zhili.But... he is not the head of Sanlang Xianghui now, a usury businessman in the capital and the early leader of the Cao Gang.It was Yang Jiaqilong, Minister of Beiyang Trade and Commerce of the Qing Dynasty, and the uncle of the Regent Wang Fuquan of the Qing Dynasty!

How precious is this status?Where can you say the opposite?

So he can only explain it to Fuquan and the great monk Shunzhi.

But Fuquan was very dissatisfied with his explanation, "What are you talking about? Who is the troublemaker? Xiao Mi is so good, how could she be the troublemaker?"

Yang Jiaqi heaved a sigh of relief: "My lord, you are right, Xiao Mi is not a disaster, but Xiao Huan is! She opened a teahouse outside Zhengyang Gate with her servants back then, and she was taken by Wang Datou for some reason, and she was directly arrested as a pawn." A concubine! He was a bodyguard at the time, so what can I do if the slave is just a businessman?"
