Bai Jin is allowed to preach in the New Army, hey, don’t be ridiculous!
Yuzhu was very familiar with the old routine of Europeans colonizing the world. They first delivered medicines and medicines, and then spread the gospel, and by the way, they had a good grasp of the topography and people's sentiments in various places.
When the colonial army came to attack, these foreign missionaries helped lead the way, which was natural.
However, Bai Jin was not an ordinary foreign missionary. He and Zhang Cheng saved the old emperor's life by offering quinine.
The old emperor allowed Bai Jin to preach, and the jade pillar was publicly supported, which is indeed a bit unjustifiable.
Yuzhu nodded and said, "The new army has not returned from the west yet. Mr. Bai will go to the firearms camp to spread the gospel for the time being."
Bai Jin came to the Qing Dynasty a few years before Yuzhu was born, so he naturally knew the inside story of the Qing Dynasty very well.
Since Yuzhu was so cheerful, Bai Jin had nothing to say and bowed and left.
Three days later, the new army returned.
After collecting food, clothing and ammunition, Yuzhu informed the old emperor and led the crusade to officially set off.
The army boarded temporarily requisitioned foreign merchant ships from Tianjin Wei, and sailed along the coastline toward Xiangshan County in Guangzhou Prefecture.
The famous Pearl River is also known as the Dongjiang River in Guangzhou, and its mouth is in Xiangshan County.
The Pearl River originally refers to a 96-kilometer-long waterway from Guangzhou to the estuary. It was named because it flows through the famous Haizhu Island. It later gradually became the general name for the Xijiang, Dongjiang, Beijiang and various rivers in the Pearl River Delta.
During the Kangxi period, the famous special economic zone city of Zhuhai was still a small fishing village in Xiangshan County.
Different from later generations, the entire Guangxi Province in the early Qing Dynasty was an inland province, not close to the sea at all.
The famous Beibu Gulf is under the jurisdiction of Lianzhou Prefecture and is under the jurisdiction of Guangdong Province.
When using troops, Yuzhu prefers to travel by water or sea.
As we all know, the cost and speed of water transportation, as well as the convenience of logistical supplies, all beat land transportation instantly.
When Qin Shihuang destroyed South Vietnam, he also built the Ling Canal first and then raised troops to go south.
Of course, if Qin Shihuang knew that he could reach Wumeng Mountain in Yunnan by going westward from the Dongjiang River, he would definitely not build the Ling Canal again.
The dozens of foreign merchant ships that were requisitioned set up their sails and sailed down the ocean at extremely fast speeds.
About a month later, Yuzhu arrived in Guangzhou.
After a short stay and some greetings, Yuzhu led his army by boat and sailed up the Dongjiang River. It took more than a month to successfully arrive at Yunnan Prefecture, the provincial capital of Yunnan.
Yunnan Prefecture is now Kunming City.
Jiang Chenxi, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and Gan Guobi, the governor of Yunnan, all welcomed the arrival of Yuzhu at the reception pavilion thirty miles away from the east gate of Yunnan Mansion.
Jiang Chenxi's younger brother Jiang Tingxi is currently a cabinet bachelor, so Jiang Chenxi is quite aware of the power of Yuzhu.
As for Gan Guobi, it is more interesting. Because they belong to the Han Army of Zhenglan Banner, the Gan family is considered to be the old slaves of the old Tong family.
It was nearly noon when Yuzhu came.
It's still the same old rules, the golden No. 1 Scholar title card still takes the lead.
To put it bluntly, as long as the Qing Dynasty is not destroyed, the Yuzhu is not dead, and he can seriously show off his status as the number one scholar in the imperial examination, he is qualified to show off for the rest of his life.
Among the mighty honor guard, the most eye-catching thing is the tall flag.
There is a line of large characters written on the commander's flag, which reads, "General Yu, the General of the Conquest of the South."
"Slave Gan Guobi, please greet me with sincere greetings."
"Holy Holy Gong!"
"I am humble enough to pay my respects to General Jade!"
"That's it!"
After a formal ceremony, Jiang Chenxi and Gan Guobi welcomed the jade pillar into the reception pavilion that had been arranged long ago.
Needless to say, the red tape in official circles is very troublesome.
After all the formal matters were over, Yuzhu officially moved into the governor-general's office of Jiang Chenxi and served as the general's headquarters.
The Yunnan-Guizhou Governor's Mansion, also known as Mu Guogong's Mansion in the former Ming Dynasty, is adjacent to Haitiange Lane of Wenmiao Street to the east and Shalang Lane to the west.
After Yuzhu got off his horse in front of the Governor's Mansion, he saw how powerful he was, so he couldn't help but squint his eyes and look at it carefully.
The governor's office of Yunnan and Guizhou has been repaired by the governor, and it is large-scale and has multiple gates.
The first gate and the second gate are composed of three wide gates in the middle, left and right.
There are several stone steps built under the pillars in front of the front door. In front of the steps, there are a pair of majestic large stone lions carved on both sides. They are colorful and highlight the majesty of the building.
Opposite the head gate is a screen wall, more than 3 meters high and nearly 20 meters wide.
A large unicorn is painted on the wall, which is consistent with the pattern of the governor's official uniform. Its head is facing a rising red sun, which is intended to represent the emperor with great grace. There are five tigers and six leopards under its tail to symbolize the five generals who belong to it.
Bing, six lieutenants.
In the middle of the flat dam on both sides of the stone steps, there are two large masts, each nearly 10 meters high. There is a wooden bucket on the mast, and a long flag hangs on the bucket, with the six characters "Yungui Governor's Hall" written on it.
There is a large gate on the east and west sides, with a banner on the gate marked with the word "Yuanmen".
Entering the Deyi Gate, there are the main hall, the second hall, the third hall and the fourth hall where the family members live.
Yuzhu walked slowly into the governor's office. As soon as he sat down in the third hall, he heard a report that Gan Guobi, the governor of Yunnan, was outside asking for an audience.
The banner leader came to Yunnan. As the governor of Yunnan, what did Gan Guobi want to do if he didn't come to pay a visit in person?
Yuzhu smiled slightly and ordered: "Please give me a favor."
Gan Guobi, who was dressed in the uniform of a second-grade civil servant, came in, bowed respectfully, and said cautiously: "Slave Gan Guobi, please be safe, master!"
"That's all." Seeing that Gan Guobi was very well-behaved and had good etiquette, Yuzhu did not deliberately embarrass him.
There was no way, no matter how high Gan Guobi's status was, no matter how big his official position was, when he met the flag owner of his banner, he would at least kneel down and salute, and at least he would have to tie the knot.
Otherwise, you have broken the rules and will be severely punished.
In essence, the Tatar regime was a mixture of semi-slavery and semi-feudalism.
Originally, the bannermen of the Three Banners were the slaves of the Qing Emperor.
Later, with the gradual expansion of imperial power, it evolved that all bannermen were slaves of the emperor.
After the old emperor secures his throne, the Manchu ministers who are qualified to call themselves slaves before him must be at least above the third rank.
"Brother Gan, please take a seat." Yuzhu politely offered his seat.
Gan Guobi couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Yuzhu calling him Brother Gan.
The title Brother Gan means that Yuzhu views his subordinate Lao Gan from the perspective of a former cabinet scholar.
The relationship between superiors and subordinates is much simpler and easier to deal with than that between master and slave!
Gan Guobi glanced at Yuzhu secretly, and his heart was filled with gratitude.
At least, the young and vigorous Yuzhu did not deliberately use the master-slave relationship to use Gan Guobi to establish his authority.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if Yuzhu angrily denounced Gan Guobi as a dog slave in front of all the senior officials, Gan Guobi would not dare to fart.
Under the semi-slavery of the banner people, there are so many things to pay attention to.
Anyone who dares to disobey the rules is tantamount to offending the flag owners and waiting to be punished by God!
