When Jiang Guozhu was worried that Deng Ming would infiltrate his army, Deng Ming also secretly had a headache about the bond levy implemented by the Southeast Governor. In the battle of Guazhou, the Ming army seized a lot of money. After deducting the spoils and special national debts distributed to the Allies, the Sichuan Army could also get three or four million taels of silver.

"Admiral, we have a great harvest."

After Mutan and several bankers finished the inventory, they came to report to Deng Ming excitedly, and Deng Ming was obviously not very interested.

Deng Ming did not immediately ask the specific number of silver coins obtained by the Sichuan Army, but said: "No matter how much we get, it is one million and two million taels less than we expected."

This answer made Mutan and the bankers stunned for a moment, and then they realized that Deng Mingzhi had a special dividend of 10% of the bonds: "Don't the admiral want to give them this bonus?"

"Of course I don't want to give it, let alone the money. I don't even want to pay back the IOU." Deng Ming said sadly. Although the Ming army received a lot of money, the price was to fight against the Qing Dynasty's Central Army when it was not fully prepared. Not only did it be based on the time chosen by the Ming army, but even the battlefield was not determined by the Ming army: "Jiang Guozhu and the others have distributed our national debts. If only a few governors and governors, I have many ways to deal with them and make them willingly not pay back the money. But now almost all the middle-level generals of the green camp have bonds in their hands. Now the Qing Dynasty is still powerful, and we cannot offend everyone at once."

In the past, Deng Ming treated prisoners preferentially and distributed severance payments in order to prevent the Green Camp from fighting for the death. This not only made the Ming army safer, but also made him less confident when negotiating with Deng Ming. Strictly speaking, the various preferential treatments Deng Ming gave to the Green Camp can be regarded as an investment. When they lose their fighting spirit, Deng Ming can recover the costs from the Southeast Governors.

But the incident of the governor and governor levying bonds ruined Deng Ming's wishful thinking. Judging from Wang Han's performance, the Green Camp generals now have resentment towards Deng Ming. If they do not pay back the money in the future, the Green Camp generals in the four southeastern provinces will most likely hate Deng Ming to the core. If these people rekindled their fighting spirit towards the Ming army, they will not only make Beijing vacant, but also make Jiang Guozhu and his team stronger.

"If we don't pay back the money, the efforts of the past few years may be in vain. If we pay back the money - that's tens of millions of taels of silver. Why don't we do with this little money?" In order to slightly alleviate the hostility of the Green Camp soldiers, Deng Ming reluctantly gave this special dividend: "When the Qing army in Shandong came along the canal, if the Green Camp generals asked for dividends again, would I give it or not? If it expires in a year and the Qing army threatens the Southeast again, should we pay it back as much as possible? Even if I want to pay it back, it would be too bad to buy weapons at that time. Where can I use it to repay the bonds?"

While waiting for news of the Qing army in Shandong, Deng Ming and bankers studied countermeasures. Fortunately, Deng Ming had many ready-made examples to learn, and he knew more than one imperialist robber in the British Empire.

During the entire Guazhou Incident, Zhang Dai, who was in the Ming military camp, looked at it all over. After the dust settled, Zhang Dai found Zhang Huangyan again and told the other party straight to the point: "I have decided to move the family to Sichuan."

Zhang Huangyan didn't react for a while. Just a few days ago, Zhang Dai was still talking about his age and could not withstand the bumpy displacement, and was afraid of dying in a foreign land. Unexpectedly, a farce-like battle passed, and Zhang Dai's attitude changed so much.

"Don't this Duke Deng likes to regard himself as Han Gao?" Zhang Dai smiled: "Did Zhang Shangshu know that this Guazhou battle reminded me of what happened to Emperor Taizu of Han?"

Before Zhang Huangyan asked a question, Zhang Dai asked and answered: "It was Han Xin's battle to destroy Qi. I think Duke Deng must be imitating the Han Taizu's actions this time."

After Zhang Dai reminded him, Zhang Huangyan suddenly realized it. After a brief recollection, he nodded in agreement.

When the Chu-Han disputed, Liu Bang, the Emperor of Han, sent an envoy to persuade Qi to join forces with the Han Dynasty to deal with the Chu State. The King of Qi hated King Xiang to the core and happily agreed to form an alliance with the Han Dynasty. The method of Xiang Yu's counterattack was to send unparalleled lobbyists to Han Xin to persuade Han Xin to fall against the alliance and sneak attack on the King of Qi. Han Xin did launch an attack on Qi State as Xiang Zhen hoped.

Originally, there was no injustice or hatred between Qi and Chu, and there was a deep hatred between Qi and Chu. If Han Xin did not rebel against the alliance, the Chu State, which was attacked from both sides, would probably not even be able to hold on to the Battle of Gaixia. However, the sneak attack of the Han army reversed the situation overnight, and King Xiang also sent Long Jie to lead the army to support Qi at the first time to ensure that Qi would not surrender under the pressure of the Han army, turning the Qi and Han alliance, which had almost become a foregone conclusion, into the Chu State's Chu State's leadership of Chu State.

After learning about the incident, Taizu of Han did not punish Han Xin, nor did he explain to Qi. Instead, he ordered all the northern troops to advance eastward to support Han Xin to attack Qi. For this reason, Taizu of Han would rather let the troops around him be empty than to support Han Xin, and struggled to support Han Xin's main force until Han Xin defeated Qi and the main force of the Chu coalition army killed Long Qi. Of course, if Han Xin did not send troops, the Han army could not win the victory in Weishui so easily; but without the strong support of Taizu of Han, why would Han Xin fight with Qi and Chu coalition army?

The problem Liu Bang was facing at that time was that the Han and Qi alliances were no longer possible, and that was to immediately order Han Xin to withdraw his troops. First, it might not be successful. Second, even if it was successful, after this break of the contract, Qi would no longer trust Liu Bang. Liu Bang quickly made the right choice, that is, to support Han Xin with all his strength, and to take advantage of Han Xin's successful sneak attack and destroy Qi, which was impossible to win, which was the most beneficial to the Han army. Liu Bang's entirety

Support not only helped Han Xin win, but also avoided letting Han Xin occupy Qi alone: ​​After the fall of the Tian family Qi Kingdom, Xiang Yu sent envoys to persuade the Qi Kingdom occupied by Han Xin to dissolve the alliance with the Han army and instead to join the Chu Kingdom. However, Han Xin repeatedly considered it and refused Xiang Yu's request. On the one hand, Liu Bang appointed Han Xin as the King of Qi to calm his heart. On the other hand, a large number of Liu Bang's confidant generals entered Qi Kingdom with Han Xin, which was too risky to make Han Xin independent.

"Compared with the methods of Emperor Taizu of Han, Duke Baoguo is still too young, but he only learned from the best and knew how to learn the heroic weapon of Emperor Taizu of Han. Duke Baoguo was thirty years younger than Emperor Taizu of Han." Although the battle in Guazhou was short, Zhang Dai had a lot of confidence in Deng Ming because he was in Deng Ming's army. Zhang Dai felt that Duke Baoguo was determined to innovate. If he could use this great disaster to eliminate the old problems, it would be equivalent to the revival of Guangwu. The next disaster was three hundred years later: "Today's Sichuan is equivalent to the Hanoi of Guangwu, and the Ming Dynasty will surely be able to revive the Ming Dynasty in the future. Even if I cannot return to Jiangnan on my life, I will definitely be able to return to the roots with the king's army in the future."

Zhang Dai said goodbye to Deng Ming and Zhang Huangyan, and after sailing to Sichuan, Zhou Peigong rushed to Deng Ming's army with Wuchang and Nanchang's eager hope, and mentioned the issue of bond compensation as soon as he opened his mouth. Not only Nanchang, Wuchang, and the governors of Nanjing were unwilling to see Deng Ming directly send money to their subordinates, but even Anqing (the location of the Yangtze River Suppression of Deng Zongli Yamen) was also wary of this. Zhou Peigong wanted to see Deng Ming strong, but also hoped to control his army. If Deng Ming could cross Zhou Peigong and directly manipulate the officials and army of Deng Zongli Yamen, then Zhou Peigong felt that he was still an optional person.

Now the Yangtze River Suppression of Deng's Corps is under construction. Zhou Peigong intends to take advantage of this opportunity of the governors and governors' opposition to prevent Deng Ming from fully controlling the suppression of Deng's Corps. Zhou Peigong does not oppose Deng Ming's infiltration of his army, because he needs Deng Ming's forces to check and balance the governor's forces in the suppression of Deng's Corps, but he cannot let Deng Ming's forces have an overwhelming advantage, just as Zhou Peigong cannot tolerate a certain governor who completely controls the suppression of Deng's Corps.

After understanding the other party's purpose, Deng Ming immediately said that this was easy to do. He would not interfere with the governor and governor's redeem the bonds in their own hands, just as he would not interfere with the governor's levy. But Zhou Peigong said that this was impossible. The governor did not have this money, and their money was forced to be purchased by Deng Ming into the national debts of the Ming War.

"Is it the Governor of Huguang? The Governor of Jiangxi who asked me to declare that the compensation can only be given to them in the future, but not to their subordinates on their own?" Deng Ming immediately said that he was willing to cooperate like this, which would be of great benefit to Deng Ming. In the future, there would be no need to worry about the resentment of the Green Camp and give special dividends. He could also deduct the blame on the governors and governors, claiming that they were deducting it from it.

"No." Zhou Peigong shook his head again. The governors hoped that Deng Ming would assume this responsibility, that is, the governor asked Deng Ming to directly pay the money to the green camp, but because Deng Ming felt it was troublesome, the governor must deal with it on his behalf. Moreover, whether Deng Ming had dividends or not, it must be kept confidential - so that the governor would not offend the green camp, and there was no need to worry that Deng Ming would continue to bribe the officers under their command.

The governor and governor probably would not agree to this condition for nothing, so he asked Zhou Peigong to negotiate the specific terms and asked Deng Ming what compensation he was willing to accept to reach the agreement.

It has to be admitted that the Governor and Zhou Peigong are both very smart people. They quickly saw the danger and took advantage of Deng Ming's time to be threatened by the Central Army of the Qing Dynasty to quickly eliminate it. At this time, Deng Ming might meet the requirements of the Governors, nor could he put forward too harsh terms - the Governors should have fulfilled their wishes, if they were not facing an alien.

"I understand your concerns very well." Deng Ming nodded. He also guessed that the governors could not jump into the obvious pit, so he had already discussed with the bankers and guided these financial giants to design a more hidden trap.

"The President Yu of the Industrial Bank, Zhou Gongcheng, has long seen this banker." Deng Ming brought the bankers and introduced them to Zhou Peigong one by one.

"In the future, the targets of the issuance of the Ming Dynasty's national debt will be the Governor's yamen and the Governor's yamen. I will return the interest and dividends to the Governor's yamen, but I cannot come and sing this bad face." Deng Ming first announced his bottom line and then came up with his solution: "But these bankers in Sichuan will help the Governor, and the Governors will redeem all the lost bonds."

"Oh?" Zhou Peigong asked in surprise: "Are you guys planning to provide the money?"

"No, we don't have silver." Yu Youming replied that silver is hard currency and cannot be returned to the governors: "We will help the governors issue an IOU to redeem bonds with this IOU."

"Is it also printed on paper?" Zhou Peigong said with some concern: "Huguang and the two rivers are both unruly people, but they are not as wise as Sichuan scholars. They may not be willing to accept notes to exchange for the Duke's bonds."

"Aren't the Duke's bonds paper?" Feng Ziming asked back.

"But that is the bond of the Duke of the State." Zhou Peigong said in his heart that Deng Ming's credit was much better than the governors, and this credit was supported by the powerful Yangtze Fleet.

"But this IOU is also linked to the bonds of the Duke of the State," Yu Youming explained seriously: "For every one yuan of Ming Dynasty bonds purchased by the governors of each province, they issue equal amounts of IOU from Huguang or Liangjiang. Since the bonds of the Duke of the State are guaranteed by silver, the bonds are equivalent to real money. The IOU from Huguang and Liangjiang are guaranteed by the Duke of the State, and of course they are also real money... In the future, they will be issued such IOU from Liangjiang and Huguang as discounted bills..."

Strictly speaking, Deng Ming's arrangement is not a trap for the governors, because what the governors are most concerned about is not the return of bonds, but the morale of the army and the people not being bribed by Deng Ming, and Deng Ming didn't want to pay back the money at all.

Therefore, with the Ming Dynasty bonds as collateral, Huguang and Liangjiang issued popular IOUs on their own is a win-win situation for the Southeast Governor and Sichuan, and it is a way of best of both worlds. Deng Ming got hard currency and unsecured loans, which can be used to purchase various materials in the Yangtze River Basin. The governor proved his use to Deng Ming, making it easier for Sichuan to draw wealth from the Southeast, and also saved a large amount of wealth for himself in Sichuan as a way out.

"This time, Governor Lin deserved a dividend of 200,000 taels of silver. He was willing to store it in Sichuan banks. However, he heard that only those with the status of Sichuan scholars can get full compensation guarantee from the government." Zhou Peigong quickly agreed to Deng Ming's request, and in principle agreed to the idea of ​​issuing IOUs with the Ming bonds as collateral. He then raised a private question on behalf of the Governor of the Cao Transport: "Is this true?"

"Yes." Deng Ming replied frankly: "If Governor Lin fights the imperial government, then we can seize his deposit."

"Well, it turns out that way. I also heard that Sichuan has abolished the injunction system." Zhou Peigong asked again.

"Yes." Deng Ming nodded. Because Sichuan immigrants came from all over the world, it was hard to say whose relatives were not in the Qing court or the Qing army, so it was imperative to cancel the connection: "Father and son, brothers are not connected."

"Okay, Governor Lin has a request, that one of his sons wants his whole family to go to Sichuan, and the 200,000 taels of silver should be stored in his son's name, but Admiral Deng needs to give Mr. Lin the identity of a scholar. Otherwise, the money would be transported to Yangzhou. Governor Lin would rather transport it back to his hometown and buried it."

"Please leave it to me," Deng Ming extended his hand to Zhou Peigong: "I immediately instructed the institute to study the specific terms and how to obtain the identity of a fellow scholar through investment."
