7-83 Retreat

7-84 Epiphyllum collapse

After an hour of surgery, the bullets on Kangxi's face were finally removed. Twenty-three large and small lead bullets were solemnly collected by Da Yu'er. Sooner or later, these bullets would be returned to Liu Ziguang intact, and they would be installed.

Fill the gunpowder with gunpowder and hit him on his hateful face.

Kangxi's handsome face was completely ruined. His face was covered like a mummy, with only two eyes exposed. It was hot in summer, and wounds were prone to suppuration and infection, which could even be life-threatening. In order to prevent this from happening, from

Ice cubes were brought from the capital to cool down the room where Kangxi lived, and people entering and exiting were strictly restricted. The room and the courtyard were fumigated with vinegar. Only after the emperor's injury and mood stabilized, he was transferred to the capital.

After returning to the capital, Dayu'er did not massacre the Han people, but only punished some rebel soldiers, because she knew that killing could not solve the problem, but could only increase hatred. She adopted the advice of the great scholar Nalan Mingzhu and implemented strict laws in the capital.

In the household registration system, every household is registered, and people from outside the capital who need to frequently travel in and out of the capital must apply for a temporary residence permit. In ancient times, there was very little population movement, usually only officials, soldiers and merchants, so the implementation of this system is not too difficult.

cumbersome, need

Those who want to apply for the application go to Shuntian Prefecture to provide their name, place of origin, and occupation, then find a shop assistant, hand in dozens of Shunzhi Tongbao, and then they can get a temporary residence permit stamped with the seal of Shuntian Prefecture. This kind of almost brain-dead policy has nothing but

can limit Beijing’s economic development

Apart from the movement of people, it has almost no effect on preventing those pervasive spies in the South Factory. However, Shuntian Prefecture has made a small fortune because of this. Anyone who has not applied for a temporary residence permit will be taken to Changping to sift the sand once discovered.

.

In view of the huge commotion in the previous period, Nanchang's operations in Beijing once again entered a dormant period. Wang Tianshun, the infantry commander who provided intelligence to Nanchang during the Caishikou operation, sent back his kidnapped children safely.

, and comes with a letter

The letter expressed his gratitude to Wang Tianshun and his expectation for the next cooperation. Wang Tianshun quickly tore the letter into pieces and threw it into the brazier and burned it to ashes. If the Military Aircraft Department found out about this, they would not be able to kill everyone, but

Then again, people from the south

Even the emperor can make prisoners, let alone a small commander like himself. He is in a dilemma when he is caught in the cracks. It is better to adapt to the wind. If there is a war between the north and the south in the future, when the south is about to invade Beijing, he will fight back.

It's not too late, I have the same idea

There are countless Han officials in Beijing. This time Liu Ziguang caused too much trouble and the strength he showed was amazing. They were afraid of being decapitated in the middle of the night, so they had no choice but to accept the blackmail from Nanchang and secretly provide Manchu political and military support to the south.

Economic information.

Just when the temporary residence permit system was implemented in the capital, another incident broke out, which had an even greater negative impact than Liu Ziguang's incident. That is, the epiphyllum that was popular in the Qing Dynasty changed from a high-ranking golden branch to a jade leaf overnight.

Worthless rotten grass leaves. Before this, even the most common varieties of epiphyllum could be sold for hundreds of taels of silver, and rare varieties could be sold for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of taels per pot. First, the rich

The wealthy merchants played this game, and then the princes, ministers, princesses and concubines of Beilebeizi and others who had any respect had to ask someone to get a few pots of epiphyllum to display at home to show off their appearance. Even in the palace of the empress dowager and the emperor's

Nourishing the mind

There are several pots of flowers in the palace. This kind of flower is not grown locally. All the flowers are sourced from Taiwan. They have traveled thousands of miles by sea. The cost is extremely high. The flowers are also relatively expensive, so they are always in short supply. They are often in a state of price but no market.

.

The supply cannot keep up with the demand, which directly leads to the rising prices. Yesterday, I bought it for ten taels of silver, and today it will rise to twenty taels. Don’t think it’s too expensive. Tomorrow, it will jump to thirty taels. If anything happens,

After saving a dozen or so pots, it became prosperous. From this, a group of brokers specialized in buying and selling epiphyllums were spawned, as well as experts who studied the breeding and cultivation of epiphyllums and provided various market consultations. Finally, they developed to sell soybean juice in Lianjing City.

All the old men know that you can make money by speculating on Epiphyllum, and at this time, the price of Epiphyllum has reached astonishing astronomical figures.

Just overnight, suddenly no one took over, and the bubble of Epiphyllum finally burst. Those who spent huge sums of money to buy Epiphyllum and wanted to make a big profit found that no one wanted it even for ten cents a pot.

The brokers who hyped up have disappeared, and the experts who advocated that epiphyllum can prolong life have stopped making noises. Everything has returned to nature, but the money in the wallet has really decreased, and no one can remember who was the first one.

When they started speculating on this thing, all they knew was that this time it was going to be beaten hard.

Not only were they being exploited, but the entire Qing Dynasty was also exploited. I don’t know how much money flowed into the pocket of the instigator. The money invested by the Eight Banners dignitaries alone was more than three million taels, not including

The professional stir-fried flower dumplings from Shanxi were also quite miserable. They had to run to the capital with huge bags of money, only to end up taking the last blow and end up with hundreds of pots of food that were not suitable for eating or drinking.

With the epiphyllum in my hand, I almost feel like hanging myself.

At the same time, Hu Yimin, the shopkeeper of Rishengchang who was far away in Hefei, looked at the numbers on the account and smiled with satisfaction, and ordered his subordinates: "The flower farmers in Taiwan can pay the money, and they have ordered a total of three thousand pots of epiphyllum. In fact,

Only one thousand three hundred and fifty-two pots have arrived. According to the contract, they should pay thirteen taels of silver. I am happy, so I will give them the full price of thirty taels." After saying this, he laughed at himself: Such a small price.

I also personally inquired about my business, which is really funny.

This farce of sky-high price and short-lived flowers was directed by Hu Yimin. From production and transportation to hype, one-stop service was used to defraud millions of dollars of ordinary flowers all over Taiwan for a few pennies a pot. This can be regarded as a sign of Manchuria.

A kind of revenge for the Qing Dynasty to forge Rishengchang banknotes. When it comes to fighting, Miss Hu is not good at it. When it comes to conspiracy, she is even better than Liu Ziguang. In fact, the cost of this operation is not low, leaving aside the transportation cost.

, as well as various communication expenses and the expenses for bribing those experts. Of course, after calculation, Lin Lin still made a lot of money.

The Beiyang Navy triumphantly returned. Among the people who greeted them on the long trestle of Qingdao Port, standing at the front was Li Yan, the commander of the Nanjing Five Cities Military and Horse Division. Liu Ziguang was immediately puzzled. Li Yan bowed down and accepted his position.

It was only after Li Yan, the admiral of the Shandong Navy, paid homage to your Excellency that he realized that someone was causing trouble in the officialdom of the capital while he was away.

A group of people from the Tiandihui had their own officers to arrange food and accommodation. Liu Ziguang originally wanted to move his family into his house in Qingdao, but they always shied away, maybe because they didn't want to make other Tiandihui heroes laugh. Liu Ziguang didn't force it.

After returning home, I took a shower and had a meal, then invited Li Yan to my home and asked him to talk about the recent changes in the capital.

As Liu Ziguang expected, while he was going to Shandong to build the Beiyang Navy, the big bosses in the DPRK began a round of personnel transfers. The position of commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, responsible for the security of the capital, has always been coveted by the Donglin Party.

To achieve the goal, they first put forward a plan, suggesting that the emperor promote Li Yan and send

He went to Shandong to become a naval admiral, saying that this way he could better utilize Li Yan's expertise. As for the security of the capital, let the Donglin Party take charge of it. There was nothing to use his expertise in the security of the capital, so Li Yan

He has not achieved much since he took office. Zhu Youxiao thought it made sense.

It is a waste of a general's talent. It is better to let him play a role on the Shandong front line. The Beiyang Navy is the main force of the Northern Expedition. It would be more conducive to carry out the work if the old partners Li Yan and Liu Ziguang reunited. So an imperial edict was issued.

, Li Yan was dispatched to Qingdao, along with hundreds of Shandong citizens.

The soldiers of the top five cities of the Army and Horse Division were all recruited. This was not because Li Yan was afraid that they would be bullied by the officials who took over, but because they were directly assigned by the Ministry of War. The Donglin Party finally took this position, so naturally they would not let these direct descendants of Liu Ziguang continue.

If you stay here, you can simply be sent to Qingdao, a wild place like this.

Liu Ziguang was very unhappy after listening to Li Yan's narration. The Wucheng Military and Horse Division is equivalent to the armed police force in the capital. Although it is a lightly armed force, it is stationed in the capital after all. It plays a huge role at critical moments. Moreover, this position

It is the product of the distribution of everyone's interests after last year's coup, and it is mutually recognized. How can we just say that the replacement is just a replacement? Even if it is a replacement, it should be one of my own who I, Liu Ziguang, replaced.

"My lord, you must never get angry, and there's more." Li Yan's wisdom is mostly reflected in the confrontation between the two armies before the battle. He does not have a good command of a set of things in the court. This time he has lost face to Liu Ziguang, and he is full of regrets.

Unhappy, "You also know that the provincial governors of the imperial court are divided into separate states, and they obey the imperial edicts and violate them secretly.

As the number of warlords increased, the Donglin Party decided to implement a large-scale reduction of power, centralize the country's military power in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, and prohibit generals from having private soldiers. They did not dare to attack those warlords, saying that they must start from the capital city.

Besides you, the commander-in-chief, who else has private soldiers? They want more of your power."

Liu Ziguang has several armed groups under him, including the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division, the Ouchi Guards, the Nanchang and the Red Shirt Regiment. The first three are official organizations that take advantage of the Ministry of Household Finance, and only the Red Shirt Regiment is his private guard. Military

The expenses are paid with your own money. The red shirt team is equivalent to the nature of the coaching team. Every season

Suitable young people must be recruited to join the army, and after training, they can be added to other teams controlled by Liu Ziguang. Although the number of the red shirt regiment is not large, its combat effectiveness and equipment are first-class. The Donglin Party is most afraid of this group.

troops, so they tried every means to cut off Liu Ziguang's wings.

"That's nonsense!" Liu Ziguang punched the table and said bitterly: "Are there any more?"

"Yes," Li Yan continued, "the imperial court will send you a supervisor, a eunuch."
