Chapter 399 Loyal minister, filial son, good father asks for a monthly ticket
Of course, Zuo Zongtang said this to Pan Shien and Pan old fox. Around the time of the Kangxi period, the Qing court began to "refer" to Han people. Each dynasty always used several famous Han officials who were famous all over the world to show that the Manchu and Han family was one of the masters and slaves. However, those who could truly become the leader of the Qingliu, become the minister of military affairs, the Grand Secretary, and the chief master of the study room, and were respectfully called "a master" by the emperor Laozi. Who is not a scheming and scheming? This minister can not be done with integrity and honesty.
However, dealing with such a clear old fox has a good side. As long as you give it a little, the other party's Linglong thoughts will have all the advantages and disadvantages.
For example, the old fox of Emperor Zhu respects the loyal and kindness of the Qing Dynasty. How could Pan not understand? The stinky and hard "loyal" Zhu would not respect it, otherwise the Shi Jinghai clan would not be destroyed! Zhu Jishi's respect has conditions. As long as Pan Shien, Lin Zexu could hand over the entire prosperous Jiangnan land to the Ming Dynasty. Pan Shien and Lin Zexu could of course be free and easy to be the lonely loyalty of the Qing Dynasty. Their descendants would still be the powerful people of the new dynasty, and the so-called loyal ministers, filial sons and good fathers would not delay. What a good thing?
But Old Man Pan still recited scriptures endlessly, and seemed not planning to be a famous minister, Gu Zhong, but wanted to become a monk.
"My little brother (Pan Zuyin's name is) is you a scholar and fame?" Zuo Zongtang saw that Pan Shien did not speak and continued to talk to Pan Zuyin.
"When Mr. Ji Gao, I have a scholar's reputation after I was born in the late stage." Pan Zuyin replied respectfully.
"A scholar's fame can be an official in my Ming Dynasty," Zuo Zongtang nodded: "But the Ming Dynasty is based on middle school and Western learning is used. It is not easy to be proficient in middle school and become a high-ranking official. In my middle school, I have taught Zhiweng in my middle school. I think I have learned all the past and present. If I can go to Jishi Academy and Jishi University, I will definitely be the pillar of my Ming Dynasty in the future."
"Mr. Xie Jigao, please give me some advice." Pan Zuyin bowed to Zuo Zongtang politely. However, the old fox Pan still recited his scriptures, and he was probably going to be a monk!
"My little brother Zhong, I see the prosperity of Suzhou's market (this is thanks to this, it's still prosperous after the financial crisis?), the people live and work in peace and contentment, and it is considered a paradise in today's chaotic times. I wonder who is the governor of Jiangsu?"
"The governor of Jiangsu is his father."
Jiangsu Governor Pan Zengshou is Pan Shien'en's third son. He was a juren in Daoguang for 20 years. However, after taking the exam for three times, he failed to pass the imperial examination. He simply hid at home and pretended to be a filial son. Daoguang accompanied his father Pan Shien back to Suzhou for 27 years. Who knew that when Lin Zexu was in charge of Liangjiang's group training, he led him out to be the governor of Jiangsu. In fact, Lin Zexu was in charge of the affairs in Jiangsu. He was the governor who was a vague official.
Of course Zuo Zongtang knew about these things, but he still pretended to be surprised and said: "It's really a talented person to be an official in the local area. If he could be my Ming Dynasty, there would always be a great scholar to do."
Now there is only Lu Peifang in the Grand Secretary’s Office of the Ming Dynasty. There is indeed a little less, so there is no problem to add a few more. When Zuo Zongtang left Guangzhou, he had already discussed with Zhu Jishi. When he arrived in Jiangnan, he would be allowed to grant the Grand Secretary’s official position, and even ten titles would be allowed to be granted at one time! In addition, the Secretary, Governor, and Minister can also be allowed to go out at the discretion. As for the smaller officials, how Zuo Zongtang arranged it, King Zhu would be allowed to take charge.
The most important thing at the moment is to "peaceful liberate" Jiangnan.
Unfortunately, the old fox is still pretending to be a monk.
"As for Zhong Xiaoyou, the recent storm of the bankruptcy of Lixin Money House seems to have some impact on the market in Jiangnan. Does this Lixin Money House send out a lot of money?" Zuo Zongtang changed the subject and talked about the Lixin Money House incident.
"It's so much. Lixin Money Bank is a big money bank, and the owner is also a comprador of HSBC Bank, so everyone believes in Lixin's banknotes." Pan Zuyin was stunned and answered truthfully.
Zuo Zongtang nodded and smiled: "Lixin Money Bank is just in trouble for the time being. I believe HSBC will not be able to save you."
Unlike certificates of deposit, bank notes are transferred by name, and they are like large-value banknotes. Now that Lixin Money Bank is insolvent, its banknotes are of course waste paper, but HSBC Bank wants to take over Lixin Money Bank and bear all its debts? This waste paper has become gold! So whoever gets this news first will... send it!
Then the old fox Pan slowly closed the yellow paper book in front of him, turned around and walked out, stood in front of Zuo Zongtang, and smiled bitterly: "It's Brother Ji Gao, what's wrong with me, the old man?"
Zuo Zongtang bowed respectfully to the ground: "I came for the billions of common people from the two rivers and three provinces, to protect the Taoist throne of the famous religion and continue the Chinese tradition. I hope Zhiweng will fulfill it!"
After a long time, the old fox Pan still didn't say anything, and Zuo Zongtang didn't raise his body. Pan Zuyin stood behind his grandfather, and the old god was also there. The wind flew past the three of them. Pan Shien finally stretched out his hand and helped Zuo Zongtang up. He sighed: "I and Shao Mu are both ministers who have been burdened with the emperor's kindness. Now the national crisis is over. The emperor is trapped in the capital, and his life and death are not clear. We cannot save the country and protect the country. We have a conscience. How can we vote for his other master?"
Zuo Zongtang looked at Pan Shien and saw that he was determined and righteous. After a while, he let out a breath and tentatively said: "What Zhiweng meant to go north to serve the king and save Emperor Daoguang from danger?"
Pan Shien said seriously: "This is really the duty of a minister."
Zuo Zongtang was moved when he heard this and said loudly: "Zhi Weng, Mu Weng's loyalty and righteousness are indeed the example of scholars in the world! Zuo is willing to help the second Weng with one arm... In any case, he must say that the Emperor of Ming will help the money and equipment. How about waiting for Mu Weng's army to cross the Yangtze River? "
Pan Shien looked up at the sky and suddenly smiled bitterly: "Okay! When I and Shao Mu encounter this chaotic world, they can only do their best and leave their fate... If they can save the capital and pacify the Guangdong bandits, in the future, the Huai River will be the boundary of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, what if they will always be brothers?"
Zuo Zongtang nodded extremely seriously: "One word is certain!"
"We also need to invite Emperor Zhu and Shao Mu to join the alliance in Shanghai and declare the world!"
Zuo Zongtang still agreed: "Okay, there is no problem! After seeing Lin Muweng, I will immediately return to Fujian to meet the emperor."
The emperor Zuo Zongtang was about to meet was actually on the coast of Zhejiang at this time. Zhu Jishi never expected that he would "liberate" Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Anhui provinces peacefully without any move. Just as Scoper William and Rodriguez created a financial crisis and undermined the financial stability of the Liangjiang area, the Zhu family army was already swiftly rushing towards Liangjiang!
The road from Guangzhou to Zhejiang is not close. There are many mountains along the way. If you walk with two feet, you can reach Zhejiang for at least a month. However, the maritime transportation power that Zhu Jishi can control is not weak. In addition to Zhu Ming's Navy, there is also the largest maritime transportation business in the Nanyang region - Nanyang Trading Company. After several years of rapid development, Nanyang Bank has more than 120 Guangzhou ships and 33 Western fast sailing ships, far exceeding Jardine Mahjong.
In addition, a large number of wealthy Guangdong businessmen, including the Thirteen Trains, have also devoted themselves to maritime trade since Guangzhou was restored. The total number of Guangzhou ships they own has exceeded 500. Therefore, Zhu Jishi now has enough transportation capacity to launch a large army to any place along the coast of the Liangjiang River!
On the newest and largest three-pole battleship of the Ming Navy, the Ming Emperor Zhu Jishi, who was in charge, stood on the platform at the stern, looking at the coastline of Longwan, Wenzhou in the distance with a telescope. Near the Guangfu, were hundreds of sailboats of all sizes, covering the entire ocean.
The landing battle has begun! Small boats have been put down, all full of landing soldiers, shaking the wooden pulp to the nearest beach and rowing hard. However, there was a quiet area on Longwan Beach, and there seemed to be no defenders.
"Your Majesty, it seems that there are no heavy troops in Wenzhou City. We can spend the night in Wenzhou City tonight!" Su Yuniang arrived beside Zhu Jishi, pointed to a rising fireworks with a smile and said, "This was sent back by the scouts who just landed."
