Chapter four hundred and ninety first Tibetan soldiers in the people

Yuanqi's regiment has been incorporated into the court's economic system and become the Nanyang Marine Corps. Once the Nanyang Navy is firmly controlled by the court, Yuanqi's situation will inevitably be worrying. At the least, it is a wedding dress for the court, and at the worst, it is a forceful robbery for the court. No matter whether it is Yishisu or the Wu family, it is afraid that it will not end well.

Wu Bingjian was worried about this, but unexpectedly, Yi Zhizu didn't seem to care. After pondering for a moment, he said: "If you are content, you don't worry about Yuan Qi falling into a situation where people are the slaughter and I am the fish?"

Yi Zhizu smiled and said, "Donald Pinghu relaxes his heart, even if the court completely controls the navy, he will not dare to endanger Yuanqi! At present, what Yuanqi needs is time and the trust of the court, and he must temporarily give in and compromise with the court.

Only by letting the court feel that he can absolutely control the navy can the court let Yuanqi develop with peace of mind. Otherwise, if the court blindly restrains it, Yuanqi will inevitably be struggling and will take several times the time. Now, the most precious thing is time."

After hearing this, Wu Bingjian was a little skeptical and said, "Tell me in detail."

"Yuanqi is no longer a simple bank, but the largest cross-regional and cross-industry commercial group in the Qing Dynasty. It is not comparable to any local and industry business group." Yi Zhizu said slowly: "Now, Yuanqi not only monopolizes the finance of a province in Guangdong, but also absorbs large amounts of funds from surrounding Guangxi, Jiangxi, Hunan, Fujian and Yunnan and Guizhou provinces.

In addition, Yuan Qi also absorbed a large amount of funds in Jiangsu and Zhejiang by opening branch collars in various prefectures and counties, promoting machine wire reeling factories, and raising funds for the construction of Beijing-Hangzhou Railway. Although it is not yet a financial monopoly, it is also in an absolute dominant position.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Yuan Qi sneezes, it will rain throughout the Qing Dynasty. The court cannot withstand the torture now. Neither the ministers in the court will easily attack Yuan Qi. This is not as simple as one moves the whole body. If something happens to Yuan Qi, the entire Southeast economy will collapse, and the court cannot afford such a high price! This is not.

As for not daring, there are more than 100,000 employees under Yuan Qi's name. Including those who rely on Yuan Qi for their living, this number will double again. If something happens to Yuan Qi, first of all, Guangdong will inevitably be in chaos! Furthermore, although Yuan Qi's regiment training is included in the imperial court's economic system, don't forget that most of the officers are Yuan Qi's people, and they all have Yuan Qi's body to a greater or lesser extent. The rise and fall of Yuan Qi directly concerns their vital interests. If something happens to Yuan Qi, the navy will inevitably be in chaos.

In addition, Yuanqi has close trade exchanges with Western countries, cooperation on major projects such as railway construction, joint factory construction, and other major projects. He will successively borrow large amounts of funds from England, France, America and other countries on the grounds of these projects. If something happened to Yuanqi, all countries will inevitably raise troops to condemn them to seize greater returns on interests and interests in China, which is also unbearable for the imperial court.

Finally, the court now owes Yuan Qi 30 million yuan in debt. If the court dares to take action against Yuan Qi, it will not only be disreputable and notorious, but will also lose the hearts of the people. Yuan Qi's tens of thousands of shareholders, as well as gentry and merchants who purchase treasury bonds and Beijing-Hangzhou Railway stocks, are all over the southeastern provinces."

After hearing what he said, Wu Bingjian realized that he really underestimated Yuan Qi's strength. No wonder this boy was confident and fearless. This was the conclusion that the court did not dare to attack Yuan Qi easily. What was rare is that the other party could see so thoroughly.

After thinking carefully, he was even more shocked. Judging from the confidence revealed by the other party's words, it was obvious that the group's training stocks were encouraged, issued treasury bonds, and asked England to undertake the construction of the Beijing-Hangzhou Railway, raise funds for railway construction, and borrow large amounts of loans from the court. The other party was deliberately doing this. This scheming was really not simple. He suddenly felt that he couldn't see through this kid.

Looking at Yi Quest in front of him, who was calm and confident, he couldn't help but sigh that Yi Yunchang had been cautious all his life, lacked pioneering, and had ordinary courage, insight and means, but he gave birth to such a son, but the Wu family had no successor, and Wu Shaorong and Wu Changqing were hard to match.

In fact, Yi Zhizu still concealed something. He was not afraid of the court turning against each other. In addition to these things on the surface, he could also use the power of the Tiandihui and the Qinglian Sect, but he knew that these two were not easy to control by him, and he was unwilling to follow this path unless he had no choice.

In addition, it was impossible for the court to completely control the Nanyang Navy. Making wedding dresses for others was not his style. The establishment of instructors at the first level of the Navy’s central camp was actually the beginning of his secret construction and cultivation of his own power. Before the Nanyang Navy was officially established, his open and secret struggle with the court to fight for control of the navy had already begun. This also destined to divide the navy in the future. Although this was not what he was willing to see, it was a helpless move that he could not help.

Wu Bingjian retracted his mind, knocked his fingers on the handrail for a while, and then said, "What I said about time is urgent, but it means that the chaos in the world is not far away?"

The reason why he asked this was because Yi Zhizu once asserted that there would be chaos in the world. Yi Zhizu once asserted that the court would ban smoking on a large scale and that the Qingying would break out in wars, all of which came true. He wanted to test the saying that the world would be in chaos. Did the other party still insist on it?

Wu Shaorong came in with a tea tray himself. He knew that the old man’s conversation with Yi Zhizu was very confidential, so he did not dare to pretend to be his subordinates. After he was pouring tea, Wu Bingjian reached out to invite tea and said, "I have not had many big red robes I have collected for thirty years. Now only by being content can I taste it."

Yi Zhizu smiled, "The younger generation will have to visit Pinghu Gong more in the past two years." As he said that, he took a teacup and tasted it carefully. After siping a cup of tea, he said, "What I said about time is precious, and there are two meanings, one is domestic and the other is international. In China, today's year is already high and my body is not very good. It is really hard to predict how long I can stay in office.

Nowadays, several princes are young. If the new emperor ascended the throne, the young emperor would not be as steady as today. It is hard to say whether he would continue to strongly support and allow Yuan Qi to develop. After all, the emperor and the ministers are not just talking about it. Yuan Qi must strive for time to develop as soon as possible and accumulate enough strength to deal with the crisis caused by the alternation of imperial power.

Internationally, after Britain and Geely basically completed the industrial revolution, European countries such as America, France, Austria, Russia have successively set off a wave of industrial development. Yuanqi must gain time to develop basic industries and military industries in the southeast and coastal provinces as soon as possible, otherwise there will be a risk of being bullied by Western countries again."

After a pause, he continued: "As for the chaos in the world, it is indeed not far away. In recent years, the national treasury has been empty, the court has invested heavily in naval construction, and it has to spend huge amounts of money to invest in naval construction. The finances are short of money, and corruption has become a trend in the administration of the ministry of the Ministry of Revenue. In addition, the compensation for the deficit of the bank treasury of the Ministry of Revenue, even if the court follows the ancestral system and does not increase taxes, it will be accumulated through other means. Officials at all levels will inevitably take the opportunity to attack and exploit them.

Furthermore, with the development of industries in coastal provinces and the dumping of large amounts of industrial products in Western countries will accelerate the destruction of the existing domestic natural economic structure that combines self-sufficiency small agriculture and domestic handicrafts. Under the double suppression of the inside and outside, the people will inevitably be in trouble and will not be able to do so.

But Pinghu Gong, please rest assured. I will try my best to ensure that the southeast coastal provinces will not be affected by war and will not interrupt Yuanqi's industrial development."

The world is in chaos! Wu Shaorong immediately understood why the old man asked him to travel across the ocean to Citiland. He had expected that the world would be in chaos. However, if Yuan Qi had the ability to ensure that the southeast coastal provinces were not affected, would he have no need to go to Citiland again? To be honest, he was unwilling to go to Citiland. He was not familiar with the place of life, and his language, customs, food, etc. were very different, so he was too uncomfortable.

Wu Bingjian said in a muffled voice: "Since it is impossible to avoid chaos, I hope that the chaos in the world can be rushed before the alternation of imperial power."

The meaning of this sentence is easy to be content and naturally understand that if the world was in chaos before the alternation of imperial power, the court would have no time to deal with Yuan Qi. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom uprising seemed to be in the last year of Daoguang's reign. However, the current historical process has changed. I don't know if the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will be affected. Logically, it will be affected somewhat.

After a slight pause, Wu Bingjian continued: "Although Yuan Qi is important now, he should not be careless about being content. The court will absolutely not tolerate the existence of threatening the imperial power, especially when the imperial power is alternating, the old and new emperors will spare no effort to clean up all existences that can threaten the imperial power."

Yi Zhizu quickly said solemnly: "Young people must keep it in mind."

After hearing this, Wu Shaorong felt a chill. The old man was worried about the crisis caused by the alternating imperial power, the world was in chaos and the alternating imperial power. The two were put together. With the old man's prudence, he would inevitably order him to go to Citiland! He was thinking, Wu Bingjian had already spoken: "This year the fleet is heading to Citi New York, and I want Shaorong to go with him."

Let Wu Shaorong go to New York? Yi Zhizu was very surprised. He knew that Wu Bingjian loved this son quite well. Wu Bingjian made this decision, was he optimistic about the trade with Citi or was he interested in letting Wu Shaorong go to Citi to avoid disaster? He had no time to think about it, and immediately pondered: "This is the first time the fleet sailed far away. Although he was following Olivern's fleet, there are still risks. If you don't let Brother Ziyuan go again next year."

"What risks can a huge fleet have? He should also experience it." Wu Bingjian said: "Since you said that these two years are the beginning of Citigroup's economic recovery, you should be early rather than late. Doing business requires you to seize the initiative."

Yi Zhizu laughed in his heart. No wonder Wu Shaorong was close to him and wanted to hold a banquet for him. It turned out that he learned that he was going to be sent to New York. He had no good feelings for Wu Shaorong, the original Thirteenth Company General, but he was not disgusted. Since Wu Bingjian intends to train the head of the Wu family, he naturally has no way to object. Thinking that he originally planned to arrange for Wu Changqing to go to New York to be the shopkeeper of Yuanqi New York Branch, he said: "Since Brother Ziyuan is going to New York, you might as well be wronged and serve as the shopkeeper of Yuanqi New York Branch."

"He can't be a good shopkeeper." Wu Bingjian said without hesitation: "Yuanqi New York Branch is the first branch opened by Yuanqi overseas, so he can't let him smash his signature."

Wu Shaorong was not interested in the shopkeeper of the New York branch. If he really wanted to be the shopkeeper, he would become a subordinate of Yishisu. He immediately agreed and said, "I am used to being casual, and it is a small loss to lose money. If I lose Yuanqi's signature, it is a big deal. Brother Guocheng, don't make things difficult for me."

Yi Zhizu smiled, "Since that's the case, let's have a good chat another day."

After coming out of Wujia Garden, Yi Zhizu did not return to Xiguan, but went to Henan Daying. After several years of continuous expansion and construction, Henan Daying is no longer the same as before. Fences are built around the military camp within a radius of several miles, and trees are planted. It is difficult to see the situation inside the military camp from the outside. Of course, the 100-meter outside the fence is marked as a military restricted area, and soldiers patrolling at any time. It is impossible to get close to the fence at any time, let alone spy on it.

The military camp is also covered with green shades, and all barracks are hidden in the shade. Although the roads in the camp are still dirt roads, they are wide and flat. The entire camp is square and has a rigorous and symmetrical layout.

Yan Yangtian, who received the news, had already been waiting outside the camp gate with his men and horses. When he saw Yi Zhizu, he came forward and saluted him quickly. Yi Zhizu was attracted by the horse behind them. He looked at it carefully and said, "Is it sent by the capital?"

"Yes." Yan Yangtian smiled and said, "Henan Camp got twenty good horses." As he said, he handed over the reins and said, "The military camp is not small now, so the principal should just ride a horse."

Yi Zhizu nodded and turned his head over. The military camp had rules and could not gallop. He would not take the lead in violating the horse. He rode his horse slowly all the way. The center of the camp was the brigade department, a two-story wooden building. After arriving at the brigade department, he withdrew the officers, accompanied by Yan Yangtian, and went straight to the second floor to Yan Yangtian's office.

Yan Yangtian served tea, and Yi Zhizu said: "How many troops do the Henan camp still have now?"

"Return to the principal, three regiments of troops." Yan Yangtian said: "The Second regiment was transferred to Dinghai, and then some regiment training were drawn from Shunde, Zhongshan, Xinhui, and Sanshui counties, and a group of young people were recruited from nearby resettlement villages to form a regiment."

After pondering for a moment, Yi Zhizu said: "Spent this group."

Dismissal? Yan Yangtian couldn't help but be stunned and didn't say anything for a long time. He couldn't understand why he had to be dismissed after working hard to train.

"Have you heard of hiding troops to the people?" Yi Zhizu glanced at him and said, "Now that Yuanqi regiment training has been included in the imperial court's economic system. The two battalions of Henan Huadi will be closely monitored by local officials. The governor and governor are going to inspect the military camp. They must not let them come in, right? How to explain the extra troops? Not only will they continue to be included in the navy, but they will also be suspicious of the court.
