Chapter 684 The situation of preparing to start negotiations in Liaoxi is not something that can be clearly explained in one sentence or two sentences.Capital has always spared no effort in the pursuit of profits, and when the general staff of the whole army accepted Zhu Weiyuan's order, implemented the plan formulated in advance, and marched into western Liaoning, it was warmly supported by all walks of life in eastern Liaoning.There are more than 100 barracks transportation companies in Liaodong, with a total of more than 40,000 horse-drawn carriages participating in the transportation of materials, and more than 700 large and small enterprises have begun to support the whole army to march into western Liaoning.At the same time, donations from all walks of life amounted to more than 27 million taels of silver, but fortunately this news was not announced to the public, otherwise, Emperor Chongzhen would definitely die of anger.As a result, he could barely receive more than 13 million taels of silver in a year, and the donation of one Liaodong alone was as high as 27 million taels of silver, which was equivalent to 128 taels of silver donated by every Liaodong person.Taking Liaoxi is no longer a matter for Quan Xu alone, but the public opinion of the entire Liaodong.After reading these backlogs, Quan Xu had a clear understanding of the development of the late Ming Dynasty during this period, and the Liaodong system was almost out of control.The first thing is that under the proposal of people from all walks of life, especially the Liaodong Political Affairs Yuan, the General Staff of the Whole Family Army has actually made the worst plan, once Quan Xu dies, or disappears forever.At the same time, the General Staff of the Whole Family Army is responsible for the management of the army, and the Liaodong Government Council is responsible for the management of government affairs, and at the same time, marches to the Central Plains.The second thing is that the Liaodong merchant group has taken a fancy to the population and land resources of western Liaoning, and the current western Liaoning is actually bounded by the Liaohe River, east of Shanhaiguan, and west from Ulanqab, Xilin Gol, and Chifeng, which is almost equivalent to the eastern part of Inner Mongolia and the northwest of Liaoning Province in later generations, with an area of about 100,000 square kilometers.The generals of western Liaoning, headed by Zu Dashou, controlled 49 military towns and cities in western Liaoning, 187 100 households and military tuns, and a total population equivalent to about 1.85 million.If it occupies the entire western part of Liaoning, then the whole army can draw out a large number of troops in terms of strategic deployment, and there are only a few exits that can enter and exit the Great Wall defense line, and it can also reduce the pressure on the strength of the whole army, and more troops can be withdrawn, whether it is to sweep Mobei in the north, but to the west, or to the south.At the strategic level, it occupies the absolute initiative.The benefits are obvious, but the problem is that the disadvantages are not without them.There must be a rift between Quan Xu and Chongzhen, this rift is irreparable, no matter how much Chongzhen trusts Quan Xu, encountering Dongzhimen is simply forcing the palace.What's more, he neither asked the court for instructions nor said hello, and directly killed tens of thousands of troops in Liaoxi, which was all a rebellion, and it was almost the last step of pulling the flag.Although it is said that Quan Xu has also taken the initiative to attack Taiwan before, the situation in Taiwan is a little different, Taiwan is far from the emperor Tiangao, and the other is that Taiwan was not taken from the hands of the Ming Dynasty, but from the hands of the Dutch and the Spaniards.The reason for attacking Zheng Zhilong was that under the pretext that he supported the Japanese Kou, whether this reason was valid or not, in fact, Zheng Zhilong was not wronged.Qiongzhou Mansion is also far away from the emperor of the sky.But Liaoxi is different, this is a steel defense line built by the imperial court for tens of millions of taels of silver, and as a result, it completely collapsed in just over a month.This is more serious than the worst time of the Ming Dynasty, even if Li Zicheng entered the city of Beijing, Shanhaiguan is still in the hands of Wu Sangui, if he is not easy, whether the Manchu Qing can enter the customs is another matter.Now in this case, I'm afraid that it's Quan Xu, and I don't know how to end it.Speaking from his heart, he did not want to unify the world now, but hoped that the gentry class would do their best, and as a political party, when this party completely lost the support of the people, they would never have a chance to make a comeback.Quan Xu wished that these gentry could lift a stone to shoot themselves in the foot, not so much that Quan Xu destroyed them, but that they destroyed themselves.is like the idol stars of later generations, once upon a time, whoever dared to say that they didn't say a word would immediately be besieged by their fans, making people ruined and socially dead.But now?
With the exposure of one pillar after another, those idol stars no longer have a market, and there are no more people who hold stinky feet.The same is true of the gentry class of the Ming Dynasty.The demise of a class relies on external blows, and it is difficult to eliminate them, for example, the dispute between Confucianism and Mohistism, Confucianism spent two thousand years, and it did not eliminate Mohist.In the political period of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the five chaotic flowers, ten rooms and nine emptiness, thousands of miles of red land, killed people's heads, but did not destroy the gate valve, nor did it destroy the ruling foundation of the gate valve.Because at that time, the gate valve was still aggressive, and had their own professional ethics and principle bottom line, from the gate valve to the local Haoqiang, they were all with the people, fortified themselves, and protected the safety of one party.Although they also held power and wealth, they were not countered by the resentment of the people.If Confucianism still adheres to the basic ethics of self-cultivation and Qi family leveling the world, even if Quan Xu wants to rely on the new capitalism of industry and commerce to replace them, it is impossible to eliminate them.He held a closed-door meeting with Shen Mingze, Yang Yandong, Mao Yuanyi, Chen Ying, Luo Shiming, Yuan Shiqing and other officials and representatives of the Liaodong system.At the meeting, Quan Xu reiterated again.Science and technology are very important, and many problems that cannot be solved by politics can be easily solved with technology, for example, with phosphate fertilizer, you can use the same field to harvest more food and feed more people; For example, a steam engine can save a lot of manpower.With the progress of science and technology in Liaodong, steam engine rollers, steam excavators, and steam shield machines began to appear one after another, which greatly improved the efficiency of railway construction in Liaodong.Secondly, agriculture is very important, but blindly shaving food in the field is the most unproductive, so there is no need to get along with the peasants, and try not to collect taxes that can be collected; In agriculture, we will continue to include scientific and technological support, as well as financial and technical support.In the end, Quan Xu looked at everyone and said with a smile: "The current Western devils are so poor that they only have money left, instead of fighting with these fools in China, it is better to open the door and do business in Europe!"
”"To Europe?"
Shen Mingze said with some surprise: "Master Hou, let's not work hard, divide the troops into six routes, and seize ......"
"Otherwise, let's march into Shandong ......"
Quan Xu shook his head: "Colleagues, now is not the time, after taking Liaoxi, one-third of the entire Ming Dynasty is in our hands, the grain, cotton, flax produced in the Songliao Plain, the cane grain from Taiwan and Luzon, the long coastline, and the large number of wolf soldiers in the Indochina Peninsula, if you want to revitalize the Ming Dynasty, these are all indispensable!"
”Dong Se led the army to the south and had already won one-third of the territory of the Indochina Peninsula, but Dong Se did not establish an independent state as the leaders of the various tribes imagined.Rather, it is vertically under the leadership of the Liaodong Government Council as a part of the Liaodong system.Now, the Honghe Council is ready to be established.The Honghe Council did not follow the model of the whole family army in Liaodong and Luzon, but adopted a model similar to that of Yun and Gui, and set up a five-level administrative structure of government, county, town, bao, and A.Of course, these so-called deputies, councillors, and mayors are all heads of various ministries, and they did not form their own autonomous regions as in later generations, but in a mixed way.In a town, there are people of Li, Miao, Dong, Tu, and Zhuang nationalities, and it is absolutely not allowed for a town to be a single department or a group of people, and it must be mixed.Such a strategy will start with a lot of troubles and problems, but as long as time goes by, the various tribes and ethnic groups will gradually run in and gradually become harmonious, but they will not form the kind of hidden division in the autonomous region.As the Red River Council began to take root in the Indochina Peninsula, of course, with the strength of the southward legion, it was only a matter of time before the Indochina Peninsula was taken.Quan Xu thought for a while and said: "Next, the focus of development will be placed in Liaoxi!"
”Shen Mingze also expressed his understanding that the development of Liaodong has entered a high-speed track, and there is no need to do anything deliberately, as long as the continuity of the policy is ensured, it can maintain the strong momentum of this high-speed development.Although Liaodong and Liaoxi are only separated by a river, it is simply the gap between the beautiful country and Mexico, which is very obvious, but in the same way, in terms of geographical environment and geographical environment, the Bohai Sea coast of Liaoxi is a narrow coastal plain, fertile for thousands of miles, abundant water power, and the potential is much greater than that of Liaodong.Not to mention that the location of Liaoxi is really unique, these conditions are not available in Liaodong, and it is a fool not to make good use of them.In fact, now the Liaodong system has begun to look for sites where factories can be built in western Liaoning, and some caravans have begun to survey the resources of western Liaoning.Plans to build highways, plans to build shipyards, plans to build cities......
In short, when Liaoxi had not really been taken, Liaodong had already begun to develop Liaoxi.Once Liaoxi is developed, Quan Xu will attack the Guannai again, not only the distance will be closer, but also the transportation efficiency will be higher.Until the beginning of the lanterns, Quan Xu has been in a meeting to discuss the development of western Liaoning, when the meeting ended, Quan Xu returned to the tent, directly lying on the bed and falling asleep.Zhu Weiyuan wanted to tell Quan Xu that she was also pregnant now, but unfortunately, Quan Xu was too tired.Since Sanniang came back from Quan Xu, the tense nerves in her heart finally relaxed, and she fell asleep on the bed in a dark sleep, and the amount of food increased greatly.It's just that Zhu Weiyuan saw Quan Xu's hidden worries.Now that Liaodong has become like this, how will it end?
This mess always needs someone to clean it up.Under the same sky, Emperor Chongzhen, who was in the Forbidden City, did not fall asleep, he tossed and turned, unable to sleep all night, since the assassination of Quan Xu, Emperor Chongzhen did not have a good night's sleep.The Guanning Army has never been banned, so isn't it because the imperial court wants to create a buffer zone between the whole family army and the Guanning army?
Now that this buffer is gone, how can this be resolved?
The whole family army did not have a holy decree and a military talisman and attacked Liaoxi without authorization, how should this matter be solved?
Entrenched in the Hetao area, the Fair Army......
The Tianxiong army suffered heavy losses, what should I do?
Chongzhen's headaches are no less than those of Quan Xu.Early the next morning, when Zhu Weiyuan asked Quan Xu this question.Quan Xu said lightly: "Send someone to send a message to the palace, and I will talk to Your Majesty!"
”"No way!"
Zhu Weiyuan shook her head: "Xianggong, don't!"
”"Yes, Xianggong, you can't go!"
Sanniang Zheng Se said: "Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, we can't afford this consequence!"
”Quan Xu pouted: "What are you afraid of?"
The army of 30,000 or 40,000 is the Dongzhimen of the capital, and I am safe in the palace!
”"No, sane people don't make mistakes!"
Zhu Weiyuan smiled bitterly: "You don't overestimate the bottom line of those Wenchen, not to mention, I don't want our children to be without a father!"
”Zhu Weiyuan's words are not unreasonable, there are many smart people in the Wenchen group of the Ming Dynasty, but there are also many fools, and now outside the Dongzhimen family army camp, hundreds of scholars quietly defect to Quanxu every day.They call themselves Saiwuhou, or Xiao Zhuge , in short, they are all through the world, and they can help Quanxu win the world!
Such people will not know anything but bragging, and they are fools to believe them.Of course, there are also people who speak righteously and ask whether the whole family army is going to rebel.Such a person is even more stupid, although the last layer of paper left between the whole family army and Daming has not been pierced, but the problem is, it is easy to break it, but what about after it is pierced?
What to do?
Quan Xu was slightly stunned, and only after a long time did he react."
You mean ......"
"I have"!
Quan Xu hugged Zhu Weiyuan's arm: "Great!
”Zhu Weiyuan said: "This matter is our home!"
”Quan Xu nodded: "That's fine!"
”Jeon Wook decided to leave the matter to the Government Council to deal with.Shen Mingze didn't talk nonsense, but readily agreed.After the internal meeting and discussion of the Government Council, Zhu Xun, executive vice president, served as the representative and began to contact the imperial court and negotiate.Shen Mingze took Zhu Xun to ask Quan Xu's bottom line: "Master Hou, negotiation, where is our bottom line?"
”Quan Xu said lightly: "First, in principle, maintain the status quo, as the price of our occupation of Liaoxi, we can pay five million stone of taxes and grain to the imperial court every year."
Keep Shanhaiguan and the Great Wall as the boundary, and outside the Great Wall, they are all under our rule!
”Zhu Xun took the pen and began to record.Quan Xu continued: "Shandong Governor Zhu Dadian and Nanyang Mansion Chen Zhenhao must remain in office, and the Daimyo Mansion Quanjiazhuang Town and the Southwest Beijing Danidian Quanjia Villa must be treated fairly. ”Daimyofu and Baiyangdian are Quanxu's current two small enclaves, the area is not large, and the population is not large, but Quanxu is not ready to give up!"
I'm afraid they won't agree!"
Quan Xu smiled faintly: "Okay, if you don't agree, starting tomorrow, the whole family army will conduct military exercises outside Dongzhimen!"
