Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 413: To fight foreigners, we must make peace at home; to destroy foreigners, we must first destroy the Qing Dynasty! (Please subscribe, please vote)

When Yang Qilong heard Li Zhongshan's words, he smiled slightly and replied: "General, you don't know the rules of Ruixin Tang. We, Ruixin Tang, are obliged to keep our customers confidential. Has King Yu deposited money in Ruixin Tang? How much money has he deposited?" Silver, I can’t talk about it!”

Quite authentic!
Li Zhongshan paused, then turned to look at Silva. Silva had already taken out an envelope and handed it to Yang Qilong's attendant with both hands, who then respectfully handed the envelope to Yang Qilong.

When he saw Yang Qilong, he tore open the envelope in front of everyone, then took out the letter paper from inside, unfolded it and read it carefully for a while, then put the letter away again, handed it to the personal attendant, and ordered him to put it away carefully, and then Then he smiled and nodded, and said to Li Zhongshan: "Brother Shikai, King Yu said that he wants him to withdraw the 1000 million taels of silver that he has deposited with me, and then you and I and Father Shivar will decide how to transfer the silver or The goods of equal value are handed over to the French fleet and asked to be shipped to Europe. Although the 1000 million taels is not a small amount, it is not a huge amount of money for Ruixintang. It can be withdrawn at any time. Brother Shikai, why don't you make a money order immediately? , put the money into your Zhongshan Hall?"

It’s really reputable!
As soon as he said these words, both Feng Xifan and Tagawa Nanasaemon showed reassuring smiles - even though they had a high status in the Zheng family group and were very trusted.But people are prone to misfortunes and fortunes, and the sky is full of unexpected events.It's always a good idea to save some money in Ruixintang and leave a way out.

If Yang Qilong is going to fall for Fuquan's debt today, then they can no longer deposit their money in Ruixintang - if they don't admit their debt if they fall, what else can they save?If they are on stage, their money will be safe wherever they are deposited!
But now, even if Fuquan is so big a thunderbolt, even if the lion wants to withdraw 1000 million, Yang Qilong can catch it, which is really reassuring.

Li Zhongshan also admired Yang Qilong. He was not worried that Yang Qilong had blackmailed Fuquan's 1000 million. But he could transfer the money to Yang Xiaomi!Fuquan's life or death is uncertain, and he probably won't survive. It seems reasonable to transfer the money to Yang Xiaomi, right?Now Fuquan wants to get his money back, so he has to discuss it with Yang Xiaomi.

But Yang Qilong didn't do much, and Yang Xiaomi probably didn't ask for the money from Yang Qilong - she had already remarried, so naturally she shouldn't ask for her ex-husband's "premarital property". Even if Fuquan died, the property should still belong to Fuquan. The son inherits.Of course, it shouldn't mean that you can't demand it by force. Yang Xiaomi is the queen regent behind the curtain!I have to admit that the Yang brothers and sisters are doing pretty well!
The signs of Yang Family and Ruixin Hall have been completely erected!

"There is no need to put the silver into Zhongshan Hall." Li Zhongshan pointed at Feng Xifan, "Let's put it all into Nanyang Hall! I have discussed with King Zheng Yi and exchanged King Yu's 1000 million for silk according to the market in Ming Dynasty. , porcelain, sugar, tea, and if possible, add a batch of spices and ship them to Europe together. Our 1000 million goods will have to be doubled several times to ship to Europe. This is tens of millions, which is enough for King Yu. It’s a big deal.”

"Okay!" Yang Qilong nodded and said with a smile, "This matter is settled. I will go back and prepare the money order. Tomorrow, I will arrange for the accountant to bring the money order to Mr. Tagawa and handle the transfer with Nanyang Hall."

"Okay, let's see you tomorrow!" Li Zhongshan said with a smile, "I'll have a good drink with you tomorrow."

"Okay, it's a deal!"

This is a transfer of 1000 million taels!This amount of money is equivalent to one-sixth of the Ming Dynasty's fiscal year income, equivalent to one-half of France's fiscal revenue. The people above are talking about such a huge amount of money, but the people below have to go through the procedures at 01:30. , the accounting teams and litigation attorney teams of both parties must first discuss a charter, and then wait for the relevant documents to be sent over by the main office of Ruishin Tang in Busan.Then check the handwriting and withdrawal password. After everything is confirmed to be correct, you still have to pull the abacus beads to settle the accounts - Fuquan has more than 1000 million taels of silver stored in Ruixintang!

In fact, he doesn't even know how much he has saved in Ruixintang.In addition, when Yang Qilong swallowed up Ruixintang, he also used legal channels. It was Hua Yinzi who acquired the shares of Ruixintang held by Fuquan.

Although Fuquan himself could not express his opinion on the transaction, Yang Xiaomi agreed on his behalf, and the money used by Yang Qilong to acquire Ruixintang was also deposited in Fuquan's own account.

Of course, Fuquan's deposits also have interest, and the amount of interest must be calculated carefully.Although Fuquan is the kind of person who doesn't care about tens of millions, Ruixintang must calculate every copper for him and then send the statement to Fuquan!

This is called professionalism!

After calculating the accounts clearly, it was time to purchase porcelain, silk, sugar, tea, spices, etc. Fuquan entrusted Yang Qilong to participate in the letter. Naturally, he had to ask his subordinates to follow up. He could not let Zheng Jing, a profiteer, give Fuquan to Tricked.

Finally, Yang Qilong also plans to send an accounting team to follow Silva to Europe to help Fuquan.

He plans to help Fuquan rebuild a Ruixin Tang in the Rakshasa Kingdom. Daming Ming's 1000 million things will cost 4000 to [-] million when sold to Europe. Even after deducting various costs, there must be [-] to several million.This may be more than the annual fiscal revenue of the Kingdom of France!Shouldn't there be a bank to help manage it?
And with a capital of more than 2000 million taels, this bank became the First Bank of Rakshasa as soon as it opened. With the First Bank of Rakshasa and the First New Army of Rakshasa as its backers, Prince Fuquansky and Sofia Is the princess’ career stable?
At noon the next day, in the accounting room of Ruishindo, the lawyers were doing abacus calculations with Feng Xifan, Shivar, Tagawa Nanasemon, and Nanyangdo's accounting office in Nagasaki, and discussing remittances and subsequent purchases. matters.Li Zhongshan, Yang Qilong, and Yang Xiaohuan have already set up a table of authentic Nagasaki dishes in the flower hall of Tagawa Mansion - oyster omelet, braised fish balls, chopped green onion snails, roasted pork rice dumplings, crispy pigeon, beef brisket, and other dishes. I cooked a big pot of chicken soup with seafood. It tasted authentic!
The people waiting on the scene were all brought by Yang Qilong from North Korea, and they were all "prostitutes" from two groups.That is to say, a woman who was born into a powerful family, and whose blood obviously flows through her body, but whose status is equivalent to that of a slave.

After Yang Qilong took charge of North Korea, he promoted a large number of concubines, evil students, and prostitutes to be his henchmen, and even the maids around him were replaced by evil students and prostitutes.These people have lived in the shadow of their direct brothers and sisters since they were young. They have been discriminated against by their families and know that they are not suitable for the two classes. Now they have been reused by Yang Dajianguo, so naturally they are loyal to them wholeheartedly!

However, he did not overthrow the Yangban. Instead, he supported Korean scholars and warriors who were "born as concubines, naughty children, and prostitutes" to fight against the Yangban who were directly descended from the clan, while he himself stood aloof and acted as an arbiter.

Li Zhongshan also paid attention to the three Korean girls serving in the flower hall. They were all selected according to the old Yang family's aesthetic concept of "bigness is beauty". They all wore tight-fitting jackets and horse-faced skirts, which made their figures slim. embossed.Her hair was not tied up, but hung in big braids on the back of her head, swaying.From time to time, he pursed his lips and looked in Li Zhongshan's direction, his big eyes watery.
However, Li Zhongshan did not pay attention to these three Korean girls. All his attention was on his uncle Yang Qilong. This time he came to Nagasaki, apparently to "talk about money", but in fact he came to negotiate. of!

The war in East Asia is imminent, and no one can stay out of it, and Yang Qilong is certainly no exception.What's more, he is still a Duke of Sui Dynasty, and his sister is still Empress Yang of the Qing Dynasty.

Yang Qilong drank a glass of wine for half a cup of tea, and kept chatting with Li Zhongshan. There was really nothing to talk about. Then he finally calmed down and said to Li Zhongshan: "General, the Qing Dynasty Seeing that it’s time for brothers to fight against each other again. This is such a rare opportunity! Shouldn’t we consider whether we want to fight against the outside world before settling down inside?”

To fight against the outside world, we must first secure the inside?

Li Zhongshan knows this very well!
"How do you say that?" Li Zhongshan asked.

Yang Qilong smiled and said: "The first half of this sentence is that we must pacify the outside world, and the second half is that to destroy foreign countries, we must first defeat the Qing Dynasty! As long as we join forces to defeat the Qing Dynasty, we are afraid that we will not be able to deal with foreign devils such as the Netherlands, England, Portugal, and Spain. ? Let me tell you, it was a bit too hasty for King Yi to get involved in the New World and capture the port of Acapulco. Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty would not have offended the Westerners! But it is not too late for us to make peace with the Westerners. They The demands are not high. They just ask us to retreat from Acapulco Port and Bintan Island, and at the same time limit the size of the navy. In this way, they will not care about the affairs of the mainland of China, and will no longer aid and arm Japan. Shikai , what do you think of this condition?"

Li Zhongshan shook his head and asked with a smile: "Brother Yang, do you know what the situation has been like over the past 1000 years in the West?"

Yang Qilong was stunned: "What's the situation?"

"It was the troubled times of the Warring States Period!" Li Zhongshan said. "The West was originally unified by the Roman Empire. At that time, the West also had common etiquette and music, and people's hearts were not corrupt to the extreme. But more than 1000 years ago, the city of Rome was invaded by barbarians, and the Western Roman Empire fell. , the Eastern Empire also declined day by day, and was unable to unify the Western world. On the Western continent, all the heroes came together, and the great powers competed. It has been more than 1000 years, but they still cannot be unified. The reason why the West cannot be unified is not that there are no heroes in the world, but that There are too many heroes, fighting against each other, using any means, so that etiquette and music are ruined, and there is no sense of justice. And those in England, the Netherlands, Spain, and Portugal are all extremely cunning and insidious. Since the discovery of the New World by European adventurers , their four countries have successively risen above the sea and expanded their territory thousands of miles away. What they rely on is partly strong ships and cannons, and partly they are cunning and ferocious that they have experienced in the battles on the European continent. We use them in every possible way. We all know that in order to resist foreign aggression, we must first settle our domestic affairs, don't they know that? When they were fighting for hegemony in Europe and developing colonial lands, they often did things to support internal unrest in other countries!

Now that they have formed an alliance with Kangxi and Wu Yingqi, they have begun to interfere in China's internal affairs. At this time, can you and I still imagine that we can compromise in exchange for their non-interference? "

"Well." Yang Qilong said, "But if we don't coax them and insist on being tough, they may join forces with Kangxi and Wu Yingqi to attack the Ming Dynasty. As far as I know, a Spanish Armada has entered Nanyang, and it may be possible now In Manila! In addition, Spain and the Netherlands have recruited a large number of mercenaries in Japan in the past few months, perhaps tens of thousands, and are now training. If these Japanese mercenaries are sent to the coast of Jiangnan by the Western Armada That’s a Japanese pirate rebellion!”

"You can't hide from this!" Li Zhongshan seemed confident, "Come as you come. The enemy can go, and so can I! Let's see who can't hold it back in the end!"

"You still want to send troops to the European continent?" Yang Qilong shook his head, "How is this possible?"

"How is it impossible?" Li Zhongshan just smiled faintly and did not say anything further.

In fact, his "I can also go" is not to send troops to Europe, but to send goods worth tens of millions of taels of silver to France - the industrial revolution has not yet started, and England and the Netherlands, the two pioneers of European capitalism, are still A country must rely on trade, and France, which is extravagant and wasteful, is the largest single market in Europe.If Chinese goods are supplied directly to France, the markets in England and the Netherlands will shrink a lot.

At the same time, Louis XIV could also profit from the proceeds from the realization of tens of millions of taels of silver. Fuquan was not a solitary person.So through dividends and taxes, Louis can earn at least tens of millions of taels!
By then his military power will be greatly increased!
Therefore, although Li Zhongshan did not send troops to Europe, the blow to England, the Netherlands, Spain, and Portugal would be much greater than sending troops directly!
"Let's not talk about this for now," Li Zhongshan gently changed the subject, "Sui Guogong, what are your plans?"

His question was understated, but Yang Qilong was silent again. He didn't know how long it took before he heard him cough. The three little Korean girls who were serving him all bowed to him meekly, then turned and left. went.

In the huge flower hall, only Li Zhongshan and Yang Qilong were left.

"Northern Sui Dynasty and southern Ming Dynasty, the Great Wall is the boundary!" Yang Qilong stated his conditions.

Quite dark!

Li Zhongshan shook his head: "How about Korea and Japan returning to the Sui Dynasty? How about giving you a piece of land in the northern part of the New World?"

The conditions he gave were North Korea, Japan, Alaska, and maybe Western Canada!

This Sui Lijian is not young anymore!
But Yang Qilong remained silent.

Seeing that he was silent, Li Zhongshan said again: "Brother Yang, you just need to remain neutral and concentrate on Japan's affairs! In this way, no matter whether you are clear or clear, you will not suffer any losses."

Yang Qi laughed heartily: "Shikai, it turns out that you can be honest sometimes! Why don't you pretend to agree and wait until you capture the Great Wall before returning?"

Li Zhongshan smiled and said: "Brother Yang, I am very relieved that North Korea and Japan are in the hands of third brother. But with your strength, third brother, it will not be easy to win over Japan. If you divide your troops and join the competition among the heroes in the Central Plains, it will not be easy." , I’m afraid we have to pay attention to one thing and lose the other.”

In fact, Li Zhongshan did not think that Yang Qilong had the ability to conquer the entire Japan. After all, Japan had a population of 2000 million, and the maximum population that Yang Qilong could control was only 1000 million.

1000 million versus 2000 million, Japan has the advantage!
Moreover, Japan's resistance is still very strong. Yang Qilong has now invested tens of thousands of troops in Japan, but he has only driven Japanese forces out of Ezo Island, and at the same time occupied a small territory in northern Kyushu, Japan. .

It is probably impossible to pacify the entire Japan.

However, it is not easy for Japan to drive Yang Qilong away from northern Kyushu. The two sides should pull each other!Maybe it could trigger a Hundred Years War between Japan and Korea.

As long as there are irreconcilable conflicts between Japan and North Korea, Ming Dynasty will sooner or later turn these two countries into vassals and firmly control them.

Yang Qilong was noncommittal and changed the topic: "Shikai, the Governor of the Dutch East India Company and the Spanish Governor of the Philippines are both in Nagasaki. The conditions they want to negotiate with you are what I just said. If you don't agree, they may have to attack Jiangnan. The coast is taking action! How about agreeing to it temporarily? A good man will not suffer the immediate consequences!"

"Suffering a loss?" Li Zhongshan smiled coldly, "It must be their third brother who suffers a loss. Go and tell them that if I don't see them, they will fight. Just come over here!"

It’s so hard!Yang Qilong couldn't say anything more.

Yang Qilong nodded and added: "The daimyo of Satsuma, Maori, and Tosa have all arrived in Nagasaki. They heard that you wanted to recruit soldiers for the war, and they were willing to help. However, they had to send retainers to participate in the command, and their soldiers could not be used. At the end of the war with the Japanese general who conquered the barbarians, you must first pay half of the cost of the mercenaries."
