Uncle Ben squinted at the Three Kingdoms, implored the brothers to collect and support, and was very grateful for the complete break between Lu Hanqiang and Chongzhen this time, and it was unrealistic for Chongzhen to pay for the cost of reorganizing the Liao Army, and then issuing Liaodong loan bonds in the country, before Lu Hanqiang and Chongzhen thoroughly negotiated the results, it would not be successful in any case, so this military expenditure, or for a long time in the future, the military expenditure of the Liao Army will not be settled.
"I have three solutions to the matter of military spending."
Lu Hanqiang stretched out three fingers: "First, I still have some money, and I will take it out to support the army." ” Lu Hanqiang is not a little rich now, but quite rich, not counting the dividends of commercial banks and banks, just a stock exchange is a considerable bonus income, and the real big head is the income of the steel mill he is still in a monopoly, the country needs countless steel, the current steel plant products are in short supply, the profits can be described as huge, and the other is the arsenal, just for those maritime trade merchant ships in the south to cast cannons, it can fully support all the expenses of half of the army, and take out the money to support the entire Fuliao army, There shouldn't be any problems.
At the very least, he nodded with satisfaction, at this time, he did not have the slightest intention that other civilian officials would directly accuse Lu Han of raising the army and plotting against him.
Of course, he also knew that Lu Hanqiang would never do anything to lose money, so he waited for his second method.
"This time, I ordered Zhou Chujun and Chen Liang to trap the 20,000 Beijing battalions on Niuzhuang Beach, and then disarmed them on the pretext of providing them with food and drink, and obtained 30,000 muskets, so that we have some free equipment."
Chen Liang took advantage of the opportunity of Liu Zhiyuan to participate in the Liaozhong Campaign with the main force of the Hanzheng Yellow Banner and the Yellow Banner to raid Niuzhuang and succeed, and Yixue was humiliated by the defeat at the beginning.
And retreated to the Jingying of Niuzhuang Beach, originally thought that according to the agreement, there should be a fleet to meet them, but at this time, after getting the news, Sun Yuanhua, who was very angry, ordered his Denglai fleet to completely blockade the entire Liaodong coast, and the original Chongzhen hired those fleets with heavy money, also understood that they were doing treason to the enemy, even if they were hired with heavy money, they also resolutely refused this lucrative deal, and as a result, the 20,000 royal family Jingying was completely sad, they had no way forward, and there was a dead end. can only be trapped between the beaches, when they went south, they originally thought that the fleet would take over them urgently, but now they have no food and grass inside, and there are no rescuers outside, especially Zhao Ziqi, the leader of this Beijing camp, has no idea of wanting to fight at all, let alone the idea of betraying the country, so after staying on the beach for three days, he took the initiative to surrender to Chen Liang, and the only requirement is to keep the children of the royal family from dying.
This also just meets Lu Hanqiang's requirements, everyone can fight without blood, or soldiers without blood.
The 20,000 muskets of the 20,000 Beijing battalions, plus the 30,000 flintlock muskets they prepared to break, have become the capture of the Fuliao army, and at this time, while shouting and killing all over the country, Lu Hanqiang saw the value of these 20,000 royal families.
"These children of the royal family who laid down their arms, I must not feed them in vain, my mine needs labor, my steel mill needs labor, of course, my military factory absolutely does not need them, so okay before I negotiate with Chongzhen, they will contribute to me for free, in the form of atonement, for our entire Fuliao campaign to do what they can, that is, to mine for me, I will satisfy their daily food and drink while exploiting and squeezing their surplus value, Isn't that a reasonable amount of income?"
This reason couldn't be more legitimate, Zhao Qiliang and Hua Shuliang here at least think so.
"There is a third income, I will instruct Zhou Chujun to take the fleet to Korea, go to Japan to ask for silver, as for the reason, that is, your suzerain, I, am fighting hard, in order to prevent you from being enslaved by the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the future, you should give us a military expenditure, Korea is poor and weak, then it will be less, 2 million taels a year, and Japan has a silver mountain, then 5 million taels, you see, such a silver income of 7 million taels a year, we are still short of money to support the entire Fuliao army" Not bad money, definitely not bad money, Zhao Qiliang and Hua Shuliang accepted this suggestion calmly.
"Now, the campaign to eliminate the Manchu Jiannu is no longer at the national level, but has become the task of our entire Liaoxi, then we will give up the expectations of the entire Ming Dynasty and do our own thing, so I ask you to be two here, one is for civil affairs, and the other is for military training, so that we have the stamina to do, the only thing I hope you are is that whether I am here or not, the great cause of recovering Liao cannot be stopped, and the ultimate goal of my life is to make the entire Han world no longer troubled by fishy flesh, I hope you both can understand my feelings, and I hope you two will support me in the best of your ability.
At this time, Lu Hanqiang gave a deep salute to the two. has been following Lu Hanqiang's group for a long time, and everyone already knows Lu Hanqiang's original intention, at this time, Zhao Qiliang and Hua Shuliang hurriedly stood up together and returned the gift to Lu Hanqiang.
In fact, there is no need to say anything at this time, whether it is on the same boat, whether it is the transfer of common interests, or even for the common ideal, everyone has formed a group, in this world, whether you are willing or not, you have been deeply labeled as Lu Hanqiang.
Lu Hanqiang said to Zhao Qiliang very solemnly: "I will enter Beijing soon, my arrangement is like this, in the entire western Liaoning, before I come back, in terms of civil affairs, Xu Jie will control everything, Lord Prefect, can you fully cooperate with Xu Jie's work." ” Without waiting for Zhao Qiliang to express his position, he turned to Hua Shuliang again: "Militarily, I have arranged for the entire army to obey Wang Dazhuang's military command, and I hope everyone will fully cooperate."
Then he stared at the two men with his eyes, waiting for an answer from both of them.
Now Lu Hanqiang's mind is that the entire Liaoxi must be controlled in his own hands, and no one can be allowed to mess with his entire plan, only by controlling this territory in his own hands and entering Beijing by himself, can he have a capital to negotiate with Emperor Chongzhen, which is also the way back.
Staring at Zhao Qiliang's eyes, waiting for his reply, at this time, if Zhao Qiliang had a slight hesitation, Lu Hanqiang would never hesitate to kill him here, and if Hua Shuliang had any hesitation, Lu Hanqiang would definitely kill him.
This is not to show that Lu Hanqiang is mean and unkind, but the situation in the entire western Liaoning determines his decision, and he will never let the difficult situation in western Liaoning change a little bit, so that his lifelong efforts will become a river and water.
Zhao Qiliang stood up without hesitation: "Xu Jie's entire ability far surpasses mine, and I am willing to accept his entire command." ” Hua Shuliang also stood up: "I can't compare with Brother Da Zhuang's ability, I will be his strong backing." ” The statements of the two made Lu Hanqiang very satisfied.
Then he said to Zhao Qiliang: "I will prepare to write to the imperial court in a while, in view of the vast area now, under my Liaodong governor, there should be a few more district governors, I am ready to promote you as the governor of the four prefectures of Liaoxi, regardless of whether the court approves this or not, you are now the governor of Liaoxi." ” Zhao Qiliang gave up his hand lightly, to be honest, to be able to be with such a group and work hard for the country and the nation, Zhao Qiliang is already satisfied, as for the official title of the imperial court, he doesn't care, especially, as long as there is the army behind him, he is already the largest prefect in the entire western Liaoning, that is to say, he is already the governor of western Liaoning.
As for whether the court admits it or not, it doesn't matter.
Lu Hanqiang turned his head and faced Hua Shuliang: "I am ready to promote you to be the logistics supervisor of the entire Fuliao Army." ” Hua Shuliang smiled faintly: "But with the arrangement of the Inspector, I still say the same thing, in order to restore Liaodong, you let me be a pawn, and I am willing." ” This arrangement, in fact, is controlling the rights of the two people in disguise on the one hand, but on the other hand, they are compensating for the high-ranking officials, that is to say, the two people have not really entered the core of Lu Hanqiang's group, and the two people know this, so the two of them asked in unison: "Due to the urgency of the matter, I ask the Inspector to send the supervisor sergeant to work with us." ” Lu Hanqiang was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood the thoughts of the two people, the sergeant supervisor was his most trusted team, and the two of them took the initiative to ask for this, in fact, they expressed their determination to Lu Hanqiang in disguise, hoping that Lu Hanqiang could send someone to supervise him.
Now that people have talked about this, the original little uneasiness has disappeared, Lu Hanqiang smiled and shook his hand: "Sergeant Jian is the elite of the whole army, what you Zhao Qiliang proposed is absolutely unsuccessful, I tell you two seriously, in Liaoxi, we must achieve civil and military equality, we must do it, the military must not manage the army, the army must not manage the people, this is the bottom line, I don't care who it is, who wants to break through this bottom line, I will definitely not spare it." ” Lu Hanqiang is ready to resolutely abandon the bad habit of literati joining the army and martial arts in politics within his sphere of influence, of course, he is a literati, but he leads an army, and as the commander of an army, he interferes in the civil affairs of the entire Liaoxi, which is unreasonable in itself, but no one raised a little objection at this time, so it is taken for granted.
Standing in front of the window, looking at the shadows of the trees in the courtyard, with his hands behind his back, Lu Hanqiang couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I want to solve the biggest crisis for this Ming Dynasty, and I want to solve the biggest darkness in the future for this Han people, but why are things always so unsmooth?
The more he spoke, the lower his voice became, and at last he lay on the windowsill, his shoulders twitching and crying.
Zhao Qiliang and Hua Shuliang also cried with him.
The boy has tears and doesn't flick, it's not to the point of sadness t1706231537:
