Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

"Read." Koji Nakata suppressed his anger.

"Order Nakata's troops to return home immediately. Now is not the time to start a war with the Qing Dynasty. According to the imperial intelligence: the Qing Dynasty has sent more than 1 troops to land, escorted by four gunboats. If we don't retreat, the sea routes will be blocked."

Koji Nakata has never suffered such a loss, half of the alliance was wiped out in the blink of an eye.There is not even a single one alive, but asking his remaining 2000 people to fight against the Qing's 1 troops is tantamount to courting death.Nakata squinted his angry eyes and paused for a few seconds.The order to retreat was issued decisively!

There was chaos in the Korean royal palace, and news of the Japanese withdrawal spread immediately.

Lord Li Ying pulled his national defense general Cui Chenghao, and said in pain: "The Japanese are really nothing. They said they would help me resist the Qing army. The Qing army just came and ran faster than anyone else. It should be What should I do?"

Cui Chenghao thought for a moment and said calmly: "Originally, the Qing Dynasty only needed a North Korea that surrendered to them, but now King Xiaoluo of North Korea is not famous. And you have already ascended the throne and become king, as long as the king shows an attitude of being willing to submit to the Qing Dynasty. I believe that the Qing Dynasty is still can support you."

Li Ying's eyes lit up, as if he had found his backbone.The whole person has come to the spirit, yes!After all, Japan is a small country, how can it be compared with the big country of China.As long as the Qing Dynasty doesn't make excessive demands, there is nothing wrong with surrendering to him.

"That's right, in that case, hurry up and meet the Qing army." Li Ying ordered.

Dong Liang came all the way with the brigade but did not encounter any decent resistance. At the beginning, there were sporadic resistance from North Korean rebels.The closer it is to Seoul, the quieter it is.When I arrived at the gate of Seoul, I saw Li Ying personally leading the guard of honor to welcome his troops into the city.What kind of medicine is this sold in the gourd?

"General, what does this mean? There were North Korean rebels harassing us along the way, and now the door is open to welcome us. Is it possible to play some tricks with the Japanese?" Mao Weimin asked.

"The soldiers are approaching the city, what else can they do? Leave five battalions to garrison outside the city, and the rest will follow me into the city." Dong Liang ordered.

"twitter."

"Oh, the general has worked hard all the way." Li Ying said flatteringly to Dong Liang.

"Lord Dayuan, this general is following the emperor's order to resolve the civil strife in North Korea. I have seen it all along the way. The rebels are everywhere, and you dare to use force against my army." Dong Liang said.

Li Ying looked embarrassed and looked at Cui Chenghao.Cui Chenghao hurriedly said: "What the general said is true, the king of Joseon disappeared suddenly. The rebel army was formed by the Japanese and has nothing to do with us. We are only acting as the king of Joseon temporarily. When the king is found, we will return to the king him."

"Oh? I heard that the King of Joseon has been killed by the Japanese. Lord Daewon is the uncle of the King of Joseon, so why not inherit the throne. But my Qing Emperor has an order, and the Japanese have been causing trouble in Korea recently. I have to guard against it, Lord Daewon Give me the Qing army to garrison Jeju Island, which is close to Japan." Dong Liang said seriously.

Li Ying thought in his mind that he conspired with the Japanese just to get on the throne, and now that his dream has come true.What is a mere island?Besides, there are Qing troops stationed in North Korea, and they are not afraid of Japanese harassment.At this time, Cui Chenghao also nodded to himself repeatedly.Immediately replied: "It's still the emperor's thoughtfulness. The mere island is used by the general's garrison troops."

"Okay, then tomorrow, please invite Wang Shang to move to the military camp outside the city to sign the contract. The emperor's edict will also be handed over to the king tomorrow." Dong Liang still looked serious.

"Okay, okay, come here. Send the general to rest." Li Ying's face was full of joy.There is no tension and anxiety when the Qing army approached the city at all.

At noon tomorrow, I finally saw Li Ying and a few of his own soldiers entering the camp of the Qing army in high spirits.

When Dong Liang saw him, he stepped forward to greet him with a smile, and the two exchanged a few pleasantries after facing each other.Li Ying, who thought he was about to ascend the throne, was a little more arrogant.

Dong Liang welcomed Li Ying and his soldiers into the barracks, but Li Ying's guards never expected that they would enter the gate of hell!All of them were captured by the Qing army ambushing in the tent when they were still in high spirits, and those who resisted a little were immediately beheaded.

Only then did Li Ying suddenly realize that the Qing Dynasty was still unwilling to let him go.Damn Cui Chenghao, you killed me.

Immediately, Dong Liang ordered the Qing army to enter the city in four directions to kill Li Ying's rebels and Cui Chenghao and others.These rebels were unprepared, and Cui Chenghao was even more busy with the subsequent enthronement ceremony, and he didn't know what happened until he died!In just one afternoon, the rebels were all wiped out.

After a few days, Fan Tianhao personally escorted the King of Joseon back to Seoul, and escorted Li Ying back to the country, waiting for the emperor to deal with him.However, Jeju Island was finally left to the Qing army as a place to garrison.

The good news was sent to the capital, and Guan Xuqing was quite satisfied after reading it.Immediately ordered that the two battalions of Wu Ping's troops continue to garrison Seoul.Help the King of Joseon to rebuild his army.As for Jeju Island, the Dong Liang Department left four battalions to contain Japan.

Japan has been spying on North Korea for more than a day or two, but Guan Xuqing knows that now is not the time to start a war with the Japanese.The important thing now is still there. The French have already begun to gather in Cambodia. I believe that they will attack China after October, just like in history.

After Dong Liang left the four camps behind, he returned to the country immediately...

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, in the early days of the dynasty, Guan Xuqing responded to the increase of troops to North Korea.Dong Liang's performance was quite satisfactory, although it was only an encounter and two ambushes.However, the fighting power shown by the new army convinced the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.The several princes and ministers who raised objections to the disarmament and reorganization of the army also fell silent.

Guan Xuqing gave corresponding rewards to those who made meritorious deeds, and especially promoted Liu San who won the first battle.Now he has become the commander of the fourth battalion of Jeju Island.

The Lion Awakens Chapter 32 Guangxu Ninth Year

Time flies like a shuttle, and the years are like electricity.Eight years of Guangxu have passed in a blink of an eye. In the past year, the economy of the Qing Dynasty has greatly improved.After the ban on privately run factories was lifted, factories all over the world have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.In particular, there are thousands of foreign cloth factories and foreign noodle factories.

Before that, Guan Xuqing was worried that these fledgling national enterprises would not be able to withstand the competition of foreign goods. After all, the Qing Dynasty implemented zero tariffs.Even the tax department was controlled by the British because of the failure of the Opium War.

Therefore, he asked the provincial governors to implement a series of preferential measures such as tax exemption and land acquisition at cheap prices for these ethnic enterprises.It has to be said that the Chinese nation is the most intelligent nation in the world, and it is even more disadvantageous when used in business.Under the circumstance that most people in the society still reject foreign goods, the produced foreign cloth and foreign noodles are placed in those time-honored silk and satin shops and grocery stores for consignment sales.Got an unexpected effect!It is often sold out as soon as it is produced.Those foreign goods that are better than them can't be sold!

Due to the vigorous development of national industry, Guangxu's fiscal revenue in the ninth year reached a terrifying [-] million taels of silver.The gross domestic product (that is, what people call GDP) back then was only behind the United Kingdom and became the second in the world.

Under the premise of continuous development of education, armaments and industry.The national treasury actually had a surplus, Guan Xuqing was in a good mood and specially approved Li Zhen's request for permission to trade the national debt of the Bank of Great Qing.However, there are not many people in banks across the country who sell treasury bonds.But there are still many people who come to buy treasury bonds!

Everything seemed to be going well, but the court still seemed to be shrouded in smoke, because the French finally took action in Annan, and the French expeditionary force occupied Hanoi, Nanding and other places unstoppably all the way.

The imperial court's nerves suddenly tensed up, is it going to war with foreigners again?Many officials in the imperial court had experienced the second Opium War, and now it is the French who broke into the capital and made Emperor Xianfeng dare to run away in Annan.

It was another snowy New Year's Day, and this ancient capital was decorated with vicissitudes and horror.

In the British embassy in Minxiang in the western suburbs, the British ambassador to China, Smith, is slowly tasting a glass of pure Scotch whiskey.The best Scotch whiskey has smoky, fruity, dried fruit flavors, and this is the best black label whiskey in his hand.

Sitting opposite Smith was Lieutenant General Philips, commander of the British Far East Pacific Fleet. He and the ambassador have been old friends for many years and had studied in the same school when they were in the UK.This born sailor is willing to go ashore to taste pure whiskey.

"Old man, I heard that you just came back from Malacca. I had an exchange with General Toure, the commander of the French Far East Army. What do you think of the French war in Vietnam? If the Qing Dynasty joined the war, do you think the French can win? I'm very interested in that."

Philips greedily drank the whiskey in his hand, and couldn't help admiring: "Smith, only you can find such authentic Scotch whiskey here, this time, you have to ask me to bring a few more bottles."

Smith nodded helplessly...

Philips said slowly: "Toure is my old friend. We have stayed on the same boat before. The French navy in the Far East is very powerful. They have the Elegance, and Kerry, Nancy, maybe The two gunboats that Qing got from us can deal with Kerry and Nancy, but definitely not elegant opponents, unless the few gunboats China ordered in Germany can return early, but I don't think the French will let them pass the Mediterranean. As for I don’t think it’s necessary to talk about the other wooden boats of the Qing Dynasty.”

"Even if France gains control of the sea, Vietnam's land will always be occupied by the army. How do you think China's army compares with France's? You know, China just sent troops to North Korea. After two or three efforts, the Japanese* left North Korea. "

"My old buddy, although the French army has not many troops, and there are more than half of Vietnamese and Algerians. But what about the army of the Qing Dynasty? Can those guys smoking opium fight? I admit that the army of the Qing Dynasty has improved in recent years. It is indeed equipped with our advanced weapons, but their country is too big. Their little emperor, in order to save money, has abolished half of the army. They have to defend against Russia in the north, Japan in the east, and even the Xinjiang and Tibet are also rebellious from time to time. The southeast coast has to defend against the landing of the French fleet that has gained command of the sea. Do you think they can defend it? Also, do they have the guts to declare war with the French? Not long ago, the French just We broke into their capital together."

Smith smiled, and Philips basically agreed with him.Although France does not invest much in the army, its powerful navy can guarantee victory in the war.Isn't the Opium War the best proof!

In the Forbidden City, snowflakes were still falling from the sky unscrupulously.It was another winter, and the announcements from various ministries were piled up on the tables of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Li Zhen was standing in front of Guan Xuqing, an upright and upright official who controlled the household department.Although it can be guaranteed that there will be no embezzlement and embezzlement, Guan Xuqing can't stand the rigidity and inflexibility of things.

"Your Majesty, the treasury of the Qing Dynasty is full now. But the people are still buying our national debts. In the long run, all the tax money from the Qing Dynasty will be given to them as interest. Please also stop the sale of national debts." Li Zhen said.

Guan Xuqing looked at Li Zhen, the minister of Gu Hong who was in charge of the money and grain of the Qing Dynasty.There was a little disappointment in his eyes, Guan Xuqing studied finance in his previous life.I still have a good understanding of the operation of the bank, facing this completely layman president of the Bank of Great Qing.Finally couldn't help cursing.

"Li Zhen, I promoted you exceptionally. Is this how you came to serve me and the country?"

Li Zhen immediately knelt on the ground, not daring to vent his breath.He hurriedly said: "The slave is guilty, the slave is guilty."

Guan Xuqing looked at Li Zhen who was trembling all over, his heart softened, and he stopped scolding.Supporting Li Zhen with one hand, he said: "The French are making trouble in the south, and now the court is not united. Some say they want to fight, and some say they don't want to fight. If they fight, our Qing Dynasty will have to spend a lot of money on military expenses." .If you don’t fight, you will still need a lot of money just to defend against the French. The economy in the southeast has just started, and the education in the west has just started. How can there be no need for money?”

"They are all incompetent slaves, unable to share the emperor's worries." Li Zhen said with a mournful face.

Guan Xuqing said to Li Zhen: "Well, what you said is also reasonable. How about this, the national debt is sold in a fixed amount, and if no one sells it, you can't buy it again. There is only so much, and if it is gone, it is gone. The court does not bully the people. No It is said that there will be no tomorrow, and the national debt must be retained, but it cannot be issued endlessly. Second, the Bank of Great Qing established four departments of savings, credit, agricultural administration, and industry and commerce. Savings are responsible for absorbing private funds, and the annual interest is fixed. At 1. 500 taels of silver are given [-] taels of interest a year. The Credit Department is mainly responsible for providing small personal loans. The Agricultural Affairs Department provides large loans to develop agriculture. Don’t let the land go uncultivated. The development of agriculture is also beneficial to the people. The Department of Industry and Commerce is responsible for large industrial and commercial loans to support some local enterprises in the Qing Dynasty. The reserve ratio of the Bank of Qing Dynasty should be set at [-]%. "

Li Zhen was stunned for a while, and didn't understand many things.He asked embarrassingly, "Your Majesty, it would be foolish to ask you to redeem a slave. What is the reserve ratio? What is the standard for various loans? If I don't return it, how should I deal with it?"

"If we say that I have 1000 million taels of deposits in various places this year, then leave 9000% or [-] million taels as a reserve. I am always ready for the people to withdraw. The remaining [-] million taels can be released as loans. All loan reviews Rigorous and complete procedures are required. Large loans such as agriculture, industry and commerce require land and enterprise mortgages. If not repaid, the land and the enterprise will be acquired. Then auction for silver. Do you understand?" Guan Xuqing explained one by one helplessly.

"Your majesty is indeed a man of gods. God blesses me. I, Li Zhen, am so capable that I hold an important position. The emperor is behind my back. Li Zhen is ashamed!" Li Zhen knelt on the ground again, Said with snot and tears.
