Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

If you don't take charge, you don't know how expensive Chai Mi is! Zai Chun had finally experienced it today!

From the moment the new army was formed, they were completely disregarded by the Manchu dynasty, because they belonged to only the Tongzhi Emperor.

From the very beginning, when Man Shun and Jiang Lie went to the Beijing to arrange the three hundred troops, they had already encountered an extremely large resistance!

At that time, all the powers of the eight flags had changed the emperor's decree. The one they wanted was clearly the third son of the three-treasured concubine, but the one they sent over was the eldest son of the family.

He obviously wanted his wife to give birth to a foppish little foppish brat that he didn't like, but in the end, all the big families insisted on stuffing him into the family as their top boss!

These were all political investments. Those smart people in the Beijing, they all thought that the Son of Heaven's personal army was just accompanying the emperor for fun, standing guard or something like that.

If it was the time for the son of heaven's imperial guard to personally go to the bayonet, then the Great Qing would soon die!

It was because of all these insidious thoughts, coupled with the fact that they were bullying the Tongzhi Emperor because he was young, that caused all the clans to go all out to get involved, and even slogan saying that they were expressing their loyalty.

"Your His Majesty wants my Ol 'Three? "This won't do, that fellow can't even draw the inferior bow, so I'll still take my boss. Look at his body fat!"

'I'm just showing my loyalty, alright? 'His Majesty is still young, I don't know who would dare to do so. Should I be wrong to send the best talent in the family? '

In a short period of time, clan tragedies were played all over Beijing. Those unfavoured children were all locked up or given a sum of money to spend all their time in the Eight Main Alleys!

Anyway, he couldn't stop his beloved child from rising to the rank of an official!

Man Shun and Jiang Lie could not believe what they were seeing. He had been scolding Bazaar Banner every day, but looking at this, wasn't he too much of a b * stard? He even dared to disappoint the emperor and execute the imperial edict?

This was the reason for the conflict between the capital robbing and the encirclement of Head Office! But no matter what, the three hundred guards that the Emperor called out were all taken out.

However, at the same time, he had also offended countless families in the imperial court!

From the dryad Dynasty onwards, it had received a great reputation! Jia Qing and the Dao Guang Emperor were barely able to maintain their monarch's power. However, after the war broke out in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the central authority of the Emperor of Qing was broken.

Even if you are the emperor, you have to discuss something! Within the imperial court were the Han Manipulation, the Scholar Qing Liu, the Eight Banners Red King, the empress dowager's faction, the reformist, and so on … Everyone had their own thoughts.

Tongzhi wanted to establish a military organization that belonged solely to him, how was that possible? If you don't let these powers get mixed up in this, their first reaction would be... Break your road to wealth!

The imperial government was not paying! The does not have money if the Ministry of Revenue does not provide for you … Your Tongzhi wants to spend money? Go ask your mother for private money!

But no matter how rich Ci Xi was, he was still not rich enough to support a modern army!

Ci An did indeed have some private money, but he still had to raise Fu Qing.

The Great Qing's Ministry of Revenue was so poor that even rats would run away with their tears. They would even be in arrears in their official salary!

He De's side did have the money from the customs, but He De's direct superior, or perhaps the cooperating unit, was the Head Office! That was the territory of General Gui Six, even though the Prince Kung was rich, they still had to train their own army!

Even if you are His Majesty! You have to be reasonable, don't you? Zuo Zongtang was the one who raised his own military expenditure in Xinjiang, the general attack of the imperial government only gave him two million, it was not suitable for your thirty thousand soldiers to ask for a sum of one million, right?

Department of Revenue, Ministry of Internal Affairs, Head Office and the other daoyin s from the provinces all received Shen Baozhen's allotment. They thought that these places would give the emperor some face, but in the end, they were greatly disappointed!

"His Majesty! "This official shall explain it to you then …" Shen Baozhen kowtowed and said, "For the New Imperial Army's military expenditures, Great Marshal Zuo has given us a million out of the military expenditures in Pingxiang …"

"Jiangnan Hu Xueyan helped prepare three million, half of it was thanks to Great Marshal Zeng, Xiang Army gave his a million …"

"empress dowagers has two hundred thousand silver taels per person. The remaining one has been taken apart from the ticket number and the bank for over three hundred thousand … That's right, there's also the one hundred and eighty thousand that the Head Office's Assistant Minister Fu Qing sent over … "

"That's all there is to it. His Majesty, you know, with less than five million in military expenditures, a New Imperial Army can support thirty thousand people … This is my limit, I am incapable of punishing you! "

"His Majesty, please punish me!" Everyone kowtowed in apology.

Tongzhi was dizzy and muttered, "Why is it so little? Why is it so little silver? Why didn't you tell me before? "Why …"

"His Majesty! "Those bastards in the imperial court not only refused to pay, they even ridiculed us …" Ma Ming was a popinjay of the Beijing, he would definitely not give anyone face.

"They said that the imperial government didn't mention a precedent of cultivating thirty thousand soldiers in five million taels, did they? "That much money is already enough to make a hundred thousand yuan. All of you should save some money …"

"The most disgusting thing is that those bastards in the Military Department gave them a bunch of paperwork instead of money …" "Let's go to the arsenals of the provinces and coordinate their bows, spears, armors, hides, etc."

"Saying that these items can be used for military expenses …" F * * k his sister, he's using us as beggars for military purposes! New army, we are new army, we want cannons and Gun, countless bullets … "

Zai Chun finally understood that for those bastards in the imperial court, on one hand, they would not do things if there were no benefits to be had, and on the other hand, they did not know what a new army was.

How much could the army spend in their traditional way? Isn't it just recruiting, then distributing the large sabre, long spear and other materials? The new army would at most have a little more than a few Gun.

During the war, you guys worked hard, so wouldn't it be fine if you had food to eat?

Thirty thousand soldiers would have to spend over three million silver taels to build up an army, and then when they were raising the army, they would have to spend a hundred and eighty thousand gold taels every month for food and food.

They did not understand the meaning of a cannon's sound of 10,000 taels of gold, nor did they understand that the fiercer the new army was, the more they needed to use silver to train!

If one wanted to fight, they would have to use up all of their ammunition and bullets just like they did not have any money to spend … They did not understand these things and did not want to understand them!

Zai Chun was furious, "Where is the Chinese? "How much did the Führer give …" As soon as he said those words, even he was stunned.

What's wrong with me? Why am I saying this in public? Me, Me, Me... Is my mind muddled?

No one dared to reply, because everyone knew that Xiao Letian was just a Imperial Advisor. There was no problem to raise him, but families in the military don't have that responsibility.

Initially, Xiao Letian only promised to help you raise up three hundred officers army. This is not a problem and I will help you raise it out and train it out.

However, the matters after he returned to his own country, he could not care less!

Zai Chun let out a long sigh as he felt a pang in his heart. He also knew that he had already developed an extremely strong reliance on his master over the past few years.

Furthermore, the people around the head of state were all people who were up to no end in the big business, and the amount of funds spent on arm wrestling with the European powers was in the tens of millions!

But he forgot, the ability of Xiao Letian to easily transfer tens of millions of funds was the ability of the Patriarch, not you, Zai Chun!

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Zai Chun laughed bitterly: "I heard you owe soldiers a salary? How much do you owe in total? "
