All Heavens Dragon System - Chapter 2835
The Qing Dynasty is a large and fragile country. It is very difficult to maintain such a large country in the agricultural era. If the British adopt similar measures during the Opium War in the future, I am afraid that the Qing Dynasty will collapse; but At that time, Britain only wanted to gain benefits, and did not intend to completely destroy the Manchu, so it did not cut off the water transport.
Britain did not have the possibility of completely conquering China at the time, so it was more appropriate to maintain the decadent Manchu to gain benefits than to let the court completely collapse, but for Shen Long, his purpose was more than perhaps a little commercial. Benefits are nothing more than benefits, but to rebirth this ancient country from the ashes, so he took more violent measures.
Before the arrival of Agui led the army, many people inside and outside the court held hope that Shen Long’s previous victory was because the Jiangnan area had not experienced war for a long time, and the local garrison was unbearable for a battle. Then he won. As long as Agui With the elite Shaan-Gan Lvying camp going south, it will surely be defeated in one battle.
Who knew that the most elite Shaanxi-Gansu green camp in the Qing Dynasty and the more than 100,000 soldiers and horses collected by Huguang and Liangjiang generation not only failed to win, but they were also wiped out by Shen Long. They were really panicked.
The Qing Dynasty has a lot of military power on paper. However, it has been more than a hundred years since the founding of the country. Now it has been in peace for a long time, and there are not many fights. Only the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp, which often fights in the northwest, is the most elite. It was because the spine supporting Daqing was directly interrupted, and the water transport was blocked, and the aorta was also broken. This Daqing saw it as a pill!
“The Shaanxi-Gansu green camp was damaged more than half, and the generations of Huguang and Liangjiang had few available soldiers. If the thief led his army northward and westward, Huguang and Liangjiang would all belong to them, and the world’s elder land already accounted for half. It’s hard to hold on, how can this be good!” Some well-informed people began to discuss the situation quietly.
“You don’t even need to go north and west, just cut off the water transport, and the north will be able to mess up on its own! Now that the price of rice in Beijing is rising three times a day, the imperial court dare not release grain anymore. The Eight Banners and the officials and soldiers are not enough, and there is still excess for the common people. If this continues, the capital will be chaos sooner or later. According to my opinion, it is better to leave the capital and return home as soon as possible. If not, wait for the chaos. I’m afraid I’m worried about my life!”
“It’s a lot better to go home? My house happens to be along the canal.” Someone smiled bitterly. “You also know that from the collection of grain and grain, the exchange, the departure, the gate, and the warehouse, where can’t be manipulated? For example, by boat. When the gate is closed, it needs to be supervised by officials dispatched by the governor of water transport. The transport capacity and draft of the watercraft are all determined by these supervising officials. It is up to them to decide whether to pass the gate smoothly. Bribes must be paid to clear the door, and the gate fee is only a fraction of the whole process. There are other fees for deprivation, tuition fees, reminders and so on.”
“In the past, in order to find a good position, I don’t know how much money was spent. Now that the water transportation is cut off, the money is naturally gone, but they can’t stop collecting the money, right? Without the benefits of water transportation along the canal. Steady, now that the squeeze continues, I look at the two sides of the canal are about to become chaotic! I am afraid that I will not go home much better than stay in the capital!”
“Yes, there is a chaos in Beijing, and Zhili in Shandong should also be chaos.” These people seemed to see that the entire north was beginning to fall into chaos, and then they heard a word in their hearts, “Hu people have no luck for a hundred years since ancient times.” Is my halal going to end?
The streets in the middle of Beijing are no longer as bustling as they used to be. The doors of stores such as rice shops are closed, and the outside is crowded with people selling food. However, no matter how you shout, the shopkeeper will not open the door.
“Dog stuff, see clearly, I’m a bannerman, don’t you want to starve your father to death? Hurry up and open the door. If you don’t open the door, you will have to fight in!” The more the shop does not open, the people outside become more anxious. Someone is about to smash the door.
“Don’t the bannermen have grain and grass supply from the granary outside the city? Why are you still short of food?” Someone asked wonderingly that the bannermen are different from ordinary people. No one can starve them when they are hungry.
“Hehe, the banner people are also divided. After the food is shipped into the city, although the banner people can buy it at a fair price according to the roster, the uncles in the banner also want to make money! Sell it to the poor in the banner at a fair price, and you can get it. You make a lot of money outside? But so much food is brought into the city every day. If they sell, don’t they have to be hungry?” Someone sneered.
Although Qianlong issued a strict order, during the feudal dynasty, it was too difficult to avoid hoarding by administrative means. If you put it aside until the time of Yongzheng, there is still a slight possibility that Qianlong will treat the civil and military officials after Qianlong succeeds. The Man-Meng relatives are very tolerant, how can it be possible to get tight now?
Ordinary people may not dare to do it yet, but the banner people don’t care about so much. This world is ours, can you starve yourself to death? The grandfathers in the flag don’t dare to offend, don’t you dare to provoke a grain store and rice shop? So he immediately raised the guy and started smashing the door~www.mtlnovel.com~ After smashing it open, he lifted the food and swayed.
When the people behind saw it, they swarmed in cleanly and robbed the grain. One pass ten, ten pass a hundred, and soon the entire capital began to smash grain shops and grab rice. The nine admirals quickly sent troops out to suppress them. The soldiers were short of food at home, but they drove the people away, but there was no food left in the rice shop.
After such a wave, the rice shop in Beijing was half down, and the government forced the remaining half to open, but the canal was cut off by Shen Long, and even if they opened the door, they didn’t have any rice to sell! As a result, the situation in the capital became increasingly tense.
The same is true along the canal. Without the biggest income in the weekdays, more than one hundred thousand Cao Ding can’t bear it. Among Cao Ding, there are all kinds of people, and soon some people start to stir up trouble.
In addition, the soldiers near the canal suffered heavy losses. So, from the north of Zhenjiang, the two banks of the canal quickly became chaotic. Those who had regained their vibes, worshipped the unborn mother, and Bailuozu began to make trouble.
Even if the water transport was cut off, the capital could still rely on the accumulation on both sides of the canal to make up for a little bit, but now it’s fine, the entire canal is abandoned, and according to this, even if it can defeat Shen Long, it will take a lot to pacify so many forces on both sides of the canal. Time.
Since then, people of insight in the world have become even more unsightly about the future of the imperial court. From Beijing to Zhili, from Shandong to Huguang, and even farther, Liangguang and Sichuan, there are people who vaguely think, this Qing Dynasty pill!
