Chapter 564, The Governor's Standard Camp Expedition!
But at this critical moment in Nanming, the governor did just that.
As for the officials who were summoned, they secretly cursed the governor, but because the governor said that the thieves had quite a lot of money, if they made any gains, they would definitely return the money donated by their colleagues, so they donated
.
A total of eight thousand taels of silver, taking into account the governor's old face and the gains after the war.
Otherwise, even eight hundred taels might not be possible.
After all, the families of these officials are still very difficult.
For example, a certain chief envoy has just married his 18th concubine. There are more children in the family, and the landlord's family has no food left.
Another example is that the magistrate of Guangdong just gave birth to his ninth son, and it is said that he received a lot of gifts. These favors will have to be repaid in the future. According to the current situation of soaring commodity prices, the little money at home is not enough.
However, with these eight thousand taels of silver, the army's preparations for departure were completed.
A large number of swords and guns were finally purchased successfully, and then the governor used his old face to commandeer the merchant ships of several trading houses. After sending the Fubiao battalion on board, the governor rested for a few days before he regained his composure.
No way, there are too many things.
But just before Biaoying, the governor of Guangdong, boarded the ship, those trading firms with trade relations with Xinghai State had already passed the news to Xinghai State.
There are many trading houses among them that have even checked the number of troops sent and the situation of ordnance.
It can be said that before the Zhaowu regime sent out troops, the Chuangzhong knew everything about the other party.
The Zhaowu regime can be said to have a little knowledge of the situation in Xinghai Kingdom. They only know that a few thousand troops sent by thousands of households were defeated and a few counties were occupied.
In addition, glassware from the Xinghai Kingdom, soaps and the like are very popular in Guangdong, and can be regarded as a weapon among the rich.
As a result, the Zhaowu regime's impression of Xinghai Kingdom was skewed.
Defeating a few thousand households is nothing in the eyes of the governor.
No way, the reputation of Qianhusuo was ruined in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.
Officials who have a little knowledge of the situation all know that the armaments of thousands of households in various places are lax, the ordnance is not repaired, and the military households are seriously fleeing.
To put it simply, Senhusho's fighting ability is weak, as a group of bandits can be defeated easily.
So the thieves who can defeat thousands of households are not so bad, and they seem to be extremely rich!
Okay, what is this?
In future generations, this means that battlefield information is unilaterally transparent!
What does unilateral transparency of battlefield information mean?
Just look at the Gulf War in later generations in this dimension and you will know.
With more than 2,000 tanks, Yilak's military strength ranks first in the desert area and is known as the third strongest in the world. In just a few days, the Eagle Kingdom was beaten to the ground by the Eagle Country. The tanks were not even used.
When used, it was blown into ruins.
It can be said that unilateral transparency of battlefield information means combat power amplification.
In fact, after receiving the information provided by those trading houses, the Xinghai State Senate immediately held an emergency meeting.
Except for the time-traveling elders who were stationed outside and could not come back, all the time-traveling elders who were still in Xinghai City attended the meeting, a total of more than 700 people.
Even Fang Xiaoyue, who was originally developing explosive shells and new artillery, was dragged into a meeting by Zhang Feifei.
When they heard that the Zhaowu regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty actually wanted to attack the newly established Xinghai Kingdom, the elders immediately went crazy.
"Resolutely fight back! We must resolutely fight back!"
A little-known veteran of time travel stood up first and shouted slogans.
"How is our navy doing now? Can we go to Bailongtan and shoot him first?"
“Don’t we have a thousand-ton freighter with dozens of cannons on it, so why can’t we bombard Gwangju City?”
"What's the use of just talking about it? In my opinion, it's better to strike first and capture the entire Nanhai Island, then land in Guangdong and directly destroy the Zhaowu regime. Anyway, the Zhaowu regime was two months earlier in history.
I took the dog with me before."
.........
The discussion among the elders made the entire indoor stadium extremely noisy.
No way, this is the result of giving full power to the elders.
After a lot of commotion, Sister Qian Lihong, the chief elder of the Senate, finally exercised her power and sounded a gong hanging on the podium.
This gong did not exist before, but due to the frequent quarrels between the elders due to their opinions during the Senate meetings, Sister Qian Lihong had to hang a gong here to facilitate her to remind these elders,
I want to speak myself.
Otherwise, given Sister Qian Lihong's age, even if her voice is broken, she may not be able to quiet these elders.
Fortunately, just like when it is time to eat, if you knock the food bowl, the dog will come to eat. Hearing the sound of the gong, the indignant elders who were blaming the country finally calmed down.
"There is no way for everyone to continue discussing like this. As the chief elder, I request the chief executive to work with the Ministry of Military Affairs to come up with a response plan and submit it to everyone for a vote."
Qian Lihong immediately put forward her own opinion.
As the chief executive, Zheng Xiangdong was actually one of the first time travelers to receive the news. He called Sun Xuebin and others together early and worked out a plan.
It's just that because the Senate has just been born, those senators have not yet exercised enough of the power they have. Major events such as the integration of military and state affairs originally require the approval of the Senate before they can be implemented in the Senate system.
Otherwise, those elders would really be worried that the chief consul and the military ministry would join forces to create a dictatorship.
Who knows about this kind of thing?
Although everyone is a time traveler, they all traveled through time together from later generations.
But after getting rid of the initial difficult entrepreneurial environment, everyone became seniors, and began to touch upon the topic of politics, some due precautions naturally appeared.
No way, in front of the Military Ministry, which controls all the armed forces of naturalized people, other elders are just scum in terms of force.
If the Ministry of Military Affairs contacted the chief consul and wanted to stage a military coup, the elders would really have no way to deal with it.
Just thinking about this kind of result makes many elders who have a somewhat gloomy mentality tremble with fear.
It is precisely because of this that, with the suggestions of many elders, some bills binding the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Chief Consul were passed.
The most critical one of these bills is that any military operation involving more than twenty people in the Xinghai Kingdom must be approved by the Senate. If it is a state of emergency, this limit can be relaxed to fifty people.
