Chapter 461 Influence
The whole world is a game of chess.
As soon as the Qing army in Qi and Lu were destroyed, the Qing army in Zhili immediately became tense.
Without worries, Chen Jun can at least add 20,000 troops to the front line.
Although they had a large area of land, they seemed to have to divide up many troops to station in various places. But in fact, the gentry and wealthy families in Qilu had long been obedient, because they didn't feel obedient that everyone had died in the previous war.
Today, where is there anyone who doesn’t know about the reactionary reaction of the Zhao family?
Under the rule of the Zhao family, everyone knew how much benefits local wealthy landlords would lose.
People with strong bones have already filled up in the previous battles. The rest are cords, all of whom are afraid of being beaten, and those who have already admitted defeat from the bottom of their hearts.
No matter how many people they have and how powerful they are, they will not rebel at this time.
Unless the Qing army can give them enough confidence on the front battlefield.
So although Qilu is not small in size and there are so many mountains, the Chen army's Qilu Military Sub-district has only 10,000 troops under the jurisdiction of the three local garrison divisions and a 1,000-person regiment directly under the military sub-district are not as many as the Qing army's previous garrisons.
The Qing army in Zhili was very nervous, and they successfully introduced this tense atmosphere to the capital.
So much so that rumors of Zhao Liang coming from the capital suddenly spread in the capital, which made the whole city panic.
Qianlong was furious when he heard the news and ordered the commander of the Shuntian Prefecture General Hui and the Infantry Army to severely investigate the matter.
Although the rumor was quickly suppressed, Qianlong realized the harshness of the situation more deeply.
In the capital, such rumors arose inexplicably because of the changes in Qi and Lu, which shows how uneasy and nervous the people in the capital are, and how frightened they are.
This manifestation just set off the decline of the Qing Dynasty.
Nowadays, as money and food become increasingly poor and military deterioration, Qianlong had to admit this.
So he finally made up his mind.
"The emperor who followed the heavens and inherited the fortunes, and said: "The grand ceremony is rewarded with me, Xinlun is appointed as the title of the title, and I will be the sixth son of my life, and I will be honest and honest. I will be diligent and good at it. I will be filial to nature. I will be in my life and will not be lazy. I will be careful and calm in my rituals. I will be specially awarded the title of the Prince of Heshuo, and I will be appointed as the Prince of Heshuo forever...."
"...The eighth son of the emperor, Yongxuan, has a kind nature and a cautious attitude, Prince He Shuoyi of Jin..."
Qianlong suddenly enfeoffed the two oldest sons as princes, and when Yongheng and Yongxuan were still confused, he sent them one to the southwest and the other to the southeast.
The civil and military ministers all over the capital immediately understood what was going on.
The emperor had no confidence in opening up the Central Plains and eliminating the rebels. He was worried that the long-term separation of the central government and the southern country would affect the majesty of the court. Perhaps it was because the southern provinces could not work together to fight against the bandits, so he sent his two older sons to take charge.
It is said that since Qianlong issued the order to form a new army to fight against the bandits, Guangdong and Guangxi have purchased a lot of guns and cannons from Macau, Dutch and British people. From the perspective of weapons, the Qing army has improved greatly.
But no matter how good the guns are, what if they are, what if they are?
Just like the Huai Army in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, it was defeated thousands of miles.
At that time, the weapons of the Huai Army were not behind at all, and they were even much better than those of the Japanese Army, but what use was there?
The new army formed by Fujian and Guangdong provinces was still hung and beaten by Chen Jun during the land battle in Zhangzhou.
Macau, council hall.
In this Portuguese heart of power in Macau, the current Australian Governor Jalia sat opposite to the Civil Affairs Chief Filica. Three years ago, after the Portuguese maritime and overseas minister issued the Royal Edict in the name of the Queen of Portugal, the Council gradually lost most of its power, and the power of the Macau Governor, who represents the Portuguese country, continued to expand.
Originally, the Chief Civil Affairs Officer, as the leader of the council, should have been the indisputable number one figure in Macau, but the rise of the governor has greatly reduced the authority in Filika's hands.
But no matter how much the Chief Civil Affairs Officer constrains him, Filika still has good rights. He represents the interests of the local Portuguese, and Jariya must respect it.
Now, as the leaders of the military and political affairs of Macau, they must reach a clear consensus on the current "Babosa incident".
Babosa is the name of a Portuguese businessman.
He had deep interest exchanges with the Guangdong customs officials of the Qing Dynasty, so when the Qing government used him to seek arms from Macau, Haria and Filika also chose him as the bridge to maintain the Qing Dynasty's exchanges.
One of these two people represents the interests of the Portuguese Kingdom and the other represents the interests of the native Portuguese. However, in the matter of arms trade in the Qing Dynasty, they easily reached a consensus, sold a lot of guns and cannons to the Qing Dynasty, and gained generous benefits.
This time, Babosha brought a lot of renovated second-hand guns and cannons from India, preparing to conduct a second transaction with the Qing army. Then when his merchant ship entered the Zerodingyang, a turtle in a jar was brought by the Zhao family's Nanyang fleet.
Babosha carries nearly three thousand muskets, more than 30 cannons, hundreds of barrels of powder and some uncut high-quality flint.
His boat also carried a team of active and retired soldiers of more than 30 lives, and they would be the Portuguese teaching team.
I clearly know how the Dutch did business with the Qing government, Babosha, and was ready to follow the example and not give up the opportunity to gain benefits at all.
But now Babosha is captured.
Faced with the absolute advantage of the Zhao family fleet, he shook the white flag with great sincerity.
This is a very serious test for Macau.
They could not refuse the request of the Qing Dynasty, but they could not afford to offend the Zhao family. Moreover, they had had a long-term friendship with the Zhao family and the two parties were intimate.
"Okay, that's the end." Philipka signed his name on a piece of paper, then stood up with some difficulty, and the wrinkles on his white fat neck stretched out.
He had been sitting for too long, and a fat man would feel uncomfortable after sitting for a long time. He walked towards the door with a light expression, leaving only Haria behind him who kept shaking his head.
Filika was relaxed because he was very self-aware and knew that he had no capital to negotiate with the Zhao family, and knew that all he could do was obey. So he gave the right to choose to Haria, who represented the dignity of the kingdom and the rights of the queen.
Who said that it is not the past?
Don’t you want rights? Then I will give all the rights to you now and make your own decisions.
Even though Haria chose to fight with the Zhao family, as a native Portuguese group, they still had a layer of concealment and did not need to face the Zhao family directly.
By the time the matter was over, all the blame was put on Hariah's head.
