Chapter 294 Pending

Liu Chang is willing to discuss any conditions, but Hu Xueyan really can't put forward the conditions!

"He Zhongcheng..." He hesitated for a moment and decided to tell the truth: "He Zhongcheng...He Zhongcheng scolded me, saying that I was confused, had failed to succeed, and had more than failure. Sooner or later, I would be involved in the royal palace!"

"What do you say?"

"What do I say!" Hu Xueyan gave an example: "I said that the Hong Army is completely different from the Taiping Army. In the third year of Xianfeng, the Taiping Army went to Jiujiang to defeat Anqing and went straight to Jinling. At that time, the Hou Bu officials in my Zhejiang Province were only three or two kittens and dogs!"

This is an old story in the third year of Xianfeng. Although Zhejiang is small, it is one of the richest provinces in the country. As an official here, even in remote counties, it is a first-class fat and shortage.

Therefore, there are always many marquis officials in Zhejiang Province. Sometimes there are more than one or two more marquis magistrates in Hangzhou than vacancies, not to mention other marquis officials. As a result, when the governor was promoted to the church, there were so many marquis officials below that they could not stand.

However, when the Taiping Army captured Jinling in the third year of Xianfeng, it was about to affect Zhejiang. As a result, hundreds of Houpu officials were suddenly dispersed. At that time, Huang Zonghan was pacifying Zhejiang and when he was promoted to the church, there were only three Houpu officials around him.

Although this was He Guiqing's ex-boy, and He Guiqing was not in Zhejiang at that time, Zhejiang was aware of this old story. Now there are only five provinces left in the whole of Zhejiang, but Hou Bu's official really had no plans to escape.

On the contrary, among these officials, some even hoped that the Red thieves could enter Hangzhou City as soon as possible. At that time, they would enter one after another, just like the Ming Dynasty officials who defected to the Dashun Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, and strive to be a minister who followed the dragon.

From this small matter, we can see the difference between the Taiping Army and the Hong Army. Therefore, Hu Xueyan's sentence hit the nail on the head. He Guiqing scolded Hu Xueyan again, and then talked about the matter of Ningbo neutrality: "You can tell Liu Chang that I will only talk to him one thing. As long as he is willing to send troops to Hangzhou Jiahu, then my guard agrees to Ningbo neutrality!"

He knew that Ningbo Zhongli was not good for the Qing Dynasty, but if Hangzhou Jiahu fell, then he, the governor of Zhejiang, would have the fate of going to the guillotine.

He was a very smart person, but the more intelligent he was, the more he was afraid of death. In history, he ran away from Changzhou, traveled to Suzhou and Shanghai, and finally fled into the concession, just to escape.

In this case, he cared for his political future and his life, so the conditions he put forward were acceptable to Liu Chang: "As long as Liu Chang was in the Shaoxing Prefecture, then the official can protect the central government, saying that the righteous people regained Ningbo, persisted and supported by sea, and with the British from it, Ningbo could be neutral!"

"But as long as Liu Chang sends troops to Hangzhou Jiajia, my guard can only be sorry. When the center immediately cancels the neutrality of Ningbo Prefecture!"

Hu Xueyan immediately conveyed He Guiqing's original words: "He Zhongcheng asked me to tell this, and I can only talk about this matter!"

"Okay! Very good!" Liu Chang agreed: "Of course the neutrality of Ningbo Prefecture can be discussed. I have no plans to send troops to Hangzhou, Jiahu this year, but accordingly, He Zhongcheng has to cooperate with him!"

"Of course we need to cooperate!" Hu Xueyan replied immediately: "The Chief Executive has cancelled the monthly salary of 60,000 taels of silver!"

Originally, Zhejiang was cooperating with huge amounts of ministry funds, tariffs, and grain rice, and also providing 20,000 taels of silver in Jiangxi and 60,000 taels of Jiangnan Daying each month.

However, He Guiqing, a small group, first had a quarrel with the Hunan Army Group in Jiangxi. Taking advantage of the military affairs in Zhejiang, He Guiqing canceled the 20,000 yuan joint salary, and now he has cancelled the 60,000 taels of military salary in the Jiangnan camp.

Now he doesn't ask for anything else, but just wants to save his wealth, life and political future. So Liu Chang laughed: "That's good, that's good! Please send a soldier to Xiaoshan, and we will also send a soldier to Xiaoshan!"

"Why is this?" But Hu Xueyan soon understood that it was both sides acting: "It may be difficult to detect this drama and deceive the center!"

"Don't be afraid or afraid!" Liu Chang agreed to Hu Xueyan: "The red thief Liu Juehuo attacked Xiaoshan three times but failed. This matter is enough to make He Guiqing atone for his merits!"

However, he quickly asked another Qing Dynasty official’s thoughts: “What is the idea of ​​Wangfutai? Will he come over?”

"Wangfutai is a Hou Guan from Fujian, and he has always valued the most homesickness!"

Liu Chang had already understood this sentence: "I have a intention to Fujian. If the royal palace comes over, I would like to entrust the position of Fujian governor!"

Not the governor of Fujian, but the governor of Fujian. Hu Xueyan was a little disappointed: "Wang Xuexuan, can't he be a governor of Fujian?"

"Even the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang can do it!" Liu Chang opened the skylight and said to him: "But at this time, I have Gaoliangcai, Zhang Yumao, and Shi Jingfen ran one after another. The Wangfutai came over, which was really late!"

"But the talented people of Wangfutai..."

"I only need Wang Xuexuan, and then live..." Liu Chang said something a bit unfathomable: "Ten Wang Xuexuans are not as good as one Hu Xueyan!"

But Hu Xueyan already understood what he meant: "I am really grateful for the test, but Wang Xuexuan is the best benefactor in his life. Hu Xueyan only hopes that he will be promoted step by step!"

Liu Chang laughed and said, "I'm afraid I'll talk about the matter between Mr. Wang Xuexuan and Mr. He Genyun next year. Why don't you tell me what you think?"

He continued: "Now Young Master Feng has taken all the telegrams and exchanges. His fellow villager Zhang Sigui wants to manage the shipping industry. If you have any business you want to get involved, you can report it to me first!"

This is the time to divide the monopoly power. Feng Wenyi didn't care about Si Wen's words: "Check it out, if possible, I want to run a bank!"

The bank is too big and cannot be monopolized by one family, but even so, Feng Wenyi's struggle for this sentence is enough for their Feng family to survive for several lifetimes.

Hu Xueyan was originally from a money dealer industry and the banking industry is his main business, but he smiled and said, "Since Young Master Feng is going to run a bank, I also want to run a bank. In addition to the bank, I also want to manage the silk industry!"

In this time and space, silk and tea can be said to be the lifeblood of China's economy and exports. The worst economic crisis of this era is that Chinese people have no money to buy foreign cloth, while foreigners have no money to buy raw silk and tea. Hu Xueyan is a half-new person, so he reported the silk industry as soon as he opened his mouth.

Liu Chang immediately said: "It's okay if you want to manage the silk industry, but Ningbo's silk industry exports will not be missing next year!"

Zhejiang is the main silk production area. Although the production of Liufu silk under Liuchang's rule is not small, the real main silk production area is still in Hangzhou, Jiahu. Under normal circumstances, under Ningbo was controlled by the Hongjun, all silks in Hangzhou, Jiahu were transferred to Shanghai exports, but now Hu Xueyan has agreed: "Don't worry, the raw silk tea in Ningbo port will not be less than last year. Is it a good idea to check for Fujian Province?"

"It's just such a plan!"

Because of Wang Youling, Hu Xueyan went to Fujian the most, so he made a suggestion: "Fujian has many tea and specialties, and has always been out of the port through Fuzhou. However, if you are careful, it seems that they can turn to Ningbo!"

The re-export of goods from Fujian to Ningbo is not economically cost-effective, but it is in line with the interests of the Hongjun. Therefore, Liu Chang agreed: "We have to plan this matter well. The key is how big the territory can be built this time!"

Until now, he has not decided to develop in Fujian or Jiangxi. However, he never stimulated the Qing Dynasty's central government. It seems that Niangzi's plan is quite feasible.

Everyone must sit down and have a good talk about this matter.

...

"You are Wu Hongchuan?"

Deng Shaoliang glanced at the big man in front of him, and always felt a little suspicious: "I heard that you have repeatedly defeated the Red thief?"

Wu Hongchuan, a famous general in the middle of Zhejiang, immediately said: "The villain Wu Hongchuan has seen Deng Junmen. Deng Junmen is looking for a young man, but is it related to the Red thief?"

"That's right!" Deng Shaoliang asked immediately: "I originally wanted to bring the red thief back from Ning Shao, but this bull ran towards Ning Shao with great force. Now Shaoxing is lost, Ningbo is in a hurry. This admiral specifically asked for your opinion!"

In short, Deng Shaoliang's troops still have the upper hand in Jinhua Prefecture, but Wu Hongchuan is not optimistic about Deng Shaoliang's side. You should know that the cats and dogs that Deng Shaoliang defeated were just newly formed infantry battalions of the Hong Army. They had poor equipment and excessive training. Deng Shaoliang's good troops were completely dragged down by Zhang Yuliang to fight in this situation.

Wu Hongchuan immediately said, "Admiral, I wonder if you want to hear a truth?"

"Tell me!" Deng Shaoliang's famous general was naturally able to withstand Wu Hongchuan's question: "I listen with scruples!"

Although Wu Hongchuan was not good at fighting, he was good at playing women. He immediately said: "Military, if the Jinshi is a waste of money, victory or defeat is the key to the Jinshi!"

"Where is that?"

Wu Hongchuan’s next sentence was very heartbroken: “It depends on the adult’s own wishes. If he still relies on Marshal Ye, then he will naturally retreat to Yanzhou…”

Yanzhou is close to Anhui and can be said to be in harmony with Jiangnan Daying. Wu Hongchuan continued: "But if you want to do something, it's better to retire from Quzhou!"

"But retreat to Quzhou. If Yanzhou is lost and Hangzhou is attacked by red thieves, then you have to detour through Anhui Province to rush to Hangzhou for assistance!"

But Wu Hongchuan's next sentence was even more ruthless: "In this position, as long as there are elite soldiers and strong generals, sufficient military service and food, and complete guns, will you worry about the gains and losses of Yihang City?"

Deng Shaoliang couldn't help but hesitate.
