Chapter 5 "Where Are Manchu Officials Going?"
.When the simple Yang Xiaoli might be lamenting for her man in her heart, lamenting that he was just a mind to make money to support her family, she could not imagine that her man was no longer the kind-hearted Zhang Zuguang he used to be. (^收^^恋^№www.piaotian.com) What she could not imagine even more was that her man was engaged in a dangerous profession, which might bring them infinite light, and at the same time, it might cause death.
Zhang Zuguang became a member of the Beijing Station of the Ministry of Interior of Taiping Heavenly Affairs. Some things that seem very accidental often contain many necessities. Zhang Zuguang's grandfather and father were both doctors who worked in the Dinghai Army and died under the guns of foreigners. His mother was overly sad and passed away. From this point alone, after he accidentally became friends with Xue Jiang from Angel's Trading Company, it was completely inevitable that he could finally join the torrent of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Zhang Zuguang got something he wanted to know from his wife and hurriedly turned back to Dashilan.
Several houses on the north side of Dazhalan's east entrance have been bought by the wealthy Angel Trading Company. They are building a two-story building. This makes their temporary shops next to the construction site seem a bit crowded and messy. However, the business seems to be unaffected. The open-air stalls at the door and the lobby are crowded and bustling.
In the living room, Fan Wenrui and Xue Jiang were receiving several merchants from other places. Angel's cigarette business was not only a hot topic, but also a one-stop supply. From the low-end retail that could be bought without any packaging, a big boy could buy a roll and sell it, to the white-packed whole box of cigarettes produced by Angel's store, and to the high-end paper cigarettes with a flying dragon printed on the cigarette box, there are everything. "Cigarettes bring you the comfort of hard work!" This famous quote from Angel's store was spread in Sijiu City in Beijing and also spread to the surrounding areas. Smart merchants from Shanxi and Zhili provinces came one after another, hoping to be Angel's local distributors.
"Oh, it's Zhang Da who checked the counter, please come inside." Seeing Zhang Zuguang coming in, Xue Jiang quickly stood up and let him into the inner room.
"As expected, Yishan signed the Treaty of Aihui with the Russian devils, and the content was more than what they planned to sell." As soon as Zhang Zuguang closed the door, he whispered to Xue Jiang with all the information he had just learned.
"These Qing Yao really dare to sell everything for their own interests. Sell it, and see what else they sell after they have sold it?" Xue Jiang, who was Gu Xuejiang, once again, showed a hint of sneer on the corner of his mouth, "Russian devils, haha, as long as they dare to come, they will sooner or later know the power of our Heavenly Army and will pay a greater price for it."
Zhang Zuguang nodded with a smile, "There is another thing. When our shopkeeper Le came back from the palace today, he talked about Xianfeng. His health was not very good. Le Zhanggui felt from the discussions of several imperial physicians that Xianfeng might not last for a few years."
"This situation is very important. An emperor like him can be in power for one more day, which will be of greater benefit to us." Xue Jiang smiled slightly, "Now, the shopkeeper is afraid that the concubine Yi who the shopkeeper asked us to pay attention to, and your old friend, Prince Gong, will become a hot figure. You must climb up the big branch of Prince Gong." The shopkeeper he mentioned was not Ai Hua and Sang Yu, but naturally refers to His Highness An who is far away in Shanghai.
"Haha, I have almost become the internal doctor of King Gong now, and even our shopkeeper Le praised me for his methods." Zhang Zuguang smiled proudly.
After dealing with the outside, Fan Wenrui also came to the inner room. After listening to the situation, he thought about it carefully and looked at Xue Jiang and said, "Starting tomorrow, through other channels, we will verify the strategic deployment of this treaty and the Qing Yao Qing. Then, you can go back in person, and you can coordinate the cigarette production pre-ordered by several big merchants with the old man."
"There is another thing. While you two shopkeepers are here, I have to tell you quickly." Zhang Zuguang mentioned that Tongrentang planned to buy a batch of musk, but because of the inability to make money on hand, shopkeeper Le wanted to invite the two of them to the banquet in the evening.
Fan Wenrui and Xue Jiang smiled at each other. "In my opinion, there is no need to eat this food. Of course we can borrow money," Fan Wenrui smiled. "There is no person in the capital who knows about Le's character. He can maintain health and save the world. Only medicine is the best. This is the one who should help with this busyness. As for the interest, I think it's all for nothing. Le's storekeeper has helped a lot in our business. Everyone is with each other. Besides, when our pork shabu shop opens in the future, he will still support him."
"Why, are you going to open a restaurant for this newly built house?" Zhang Zuguang asked strangely.
"Haha, of course." Xue Jiang smiled, "We are all law-abiding businessmen, of course the bigger the business, the better. The newly built house is planned to be divided into two parts, a small part is used to open a Yufenglou pork shabu shop and operate a full halal lamba. This aspect also requires the strong help from your brother. We have just heard the description of the shopkeeper, but we have not actually seen it. However, it must be done well, and the elegance and the masses should be appreciated by both the elite and the masses. The shopkeeper said that the first thing he did when he came to the capital in the future was to eat the mutton shabu here."
"New Tianjing News" and "Shanghai Oriental News" also published the detailed content of the Sino-Russian Aihui Treaty between the Qing government and Tsarist Russia in the first page with a prominent title, and distributed Lin Haifeng's article "Where did the Qing officials go?".
Lin Haifeng wrote in the article, "Two roads are placed before the civil and military officials of the Qing government in Beijing: one is to persist in losing power and humiliating the country, gathering with the Qing Dynasty, the foreign slave government, and being a slave to the Manchu and the foreigners. This is to continue to be an enemy of the people, and in the great war of the people to restore the Han family, we died together with the extremely foreign masters of the Manchu and the extremely foreign masters of the Manchu and the extremely foreign masters of the Manchu and the extremely foreign masters of the Manchu and the great war of restoring the Han family, and to make merits and atone for the people's forgiveness and understanding. The third road is not at all.
Among the civil and military officials of the Qing Dynasty, there were three groups of people. Some of them insisted on taking the first path. No matter how good they used to beautify themselves with words and how viciously they attacked the Celestial Government, they completely forgot their ancestors in their actions, continued to treason, and continued to oppress and massacre the people who demanded the restoration of the original appearance of the Han family. They were the best friends of Manchu and Yi, and were unforgivable traitors and traitors. Some people were willing to take the second path, but they could not take decisive actions. The third part was some people who were wandering on the wrong path and had unknown movements. They neither wanted to offend their masters, nor wanted to obtain the understanding and tolerance of the people. But this was a fantasy and was impossible.
The birth of the so-called Sino-Russian Aihui Treaty once again reveals the ugly face of this ignorant and cruel Manyi government, "I would rather give foreigners than domestic slaves." Xianfeng regarded the Han Dynasty they forced to take as their private property, and regarded the vast majority of people as their domestic slaves... and asked you to bring a message to your foreign master. No matter how many tricks they played or how much scheming they tried, those so-called treaties would turn into waste paper under the feet of the heavenly army and the people..."
Finally, he wrote, "Whether it was the Tiantian proclamation of the Heavenly Defend Hu in the Heavenly Kingdom, or the Tianjun's march to Changsha and Shanghai, it repeatedly warned you to be traitors, or to repent and awaken early, you have your own freedom to choose between these two. But there is not much time to choose, and the brave and invincible Tianjun is marching forward. When the Tianjun arrives, it is too late to regret it."
These two types of newspapers are not only in the Tianchao controlled area, but also through various channels in the cleaning management area.
