Chapter 11 Good brothers will end the Qing Dynasty together! (Please collect, recommend, and read)

"I, Wu Shicong! I, Wang Shikai! I, Wu Shijue, have become brothers today. From now on, we will share blessings and share hardships; we will work together and never leave. The emperor, the emperor, and the empress, should learn from this!"

In the back garden of Wu Guogui Village, in front of a bamboo forest that had been chopped down a little, Wu Shicong, Wang Shikai, and Wu Shijue were kneeling in front of an altar table with memorial tablets for Liu, Guan, and Zhang, holding large incense sticks and chanting words.

Wu Sangui, Wu Yingqi, Wu Guogui, and Wang Fuchen were all witnesses of this three-sworn friendship in the bamboo forest, and they looked on with smiles.

There was also Wu Xiaotuo standing on the edge of the bamboo forest, playing with the corner of his clothes and looking uneasily at the three people who were making sworn vows. It seemed as if something was wrong. The gambling fight that just ended seemed to have something to do with her.

Ah! Isn't she the "maid" who was put on the table as a bet?

She was so happy to help beat the drum just now. Wouldn't it make people count the money after selling? But the problem is that she knew from the beginning that she was a "bet", and she excitedly encouraged her brother to go and fight with Wang Er

My brother is betting. You can’t be a bad guy now, no, you are a bad guy. You must be willing to admit defeat.

While Wu Xiaotuo was thinking wildly, Wu Sangui, Wu Yingqi, Wu Guogui, and Wang Fuchen had already stood up and were about to leave. Wu Shicong, Wang Shikai, and Wu Shijue bowed to the four of them together.

Wu Sangui smiled and said to the three little brothers: "In ancient times, there were three sworn brothers in the peach garden, and now there are three sworn brothers in the bamboo forest. I hope that the three of you can work together in the future, serve the Qing Dynasty together, and become important ministers and generals of the Qing Dynasty!"

"My grandsons (younger generations) will obey the teachings carefully and will definitely be loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty."

Wu Shicong, Wang Shikai, and Wu Shijue responded in unison.

Wu Sangui nodded with a smile, and then said to Wang Fuchen: "Brother Fuchen, these three juniors all know that they must be loyal to the Qing Dynasty. We elders also have to know the principles of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. Why not continue on the noble Zhuangzi?"

Let’s discuss how to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty next.”

The so-called loyalty to the Qing Dynasty, of course, means continuing to ask for money from the Qing Dynasty.

After saying that, he turned around and ran away.

Wu Shicong shook his head: "It's not easy to go out now. My grandfather's power of 'Western Selection' has been taken back by the imperial court."

"Business? How can we do business? We can only be officials!"

Of course, Wu Xiaotuo is innocent, so he cannot let Xiaotuo'er go.

When Wang Zhongxiao was thinking about whether he could secretly abduct Wu Xiaotuo, Wu Shicong had already noticed that Wu Xiaotuo's expression was a little strange, so he asked: "Xiaotuo, what's wrong with you? Why is your face red?"

Wu Shicong was the eldest brother among the three. Of course he had to act like an elder brother at this time. He smiled and said to Wang Shikai: "Shikai, come to my village to have a drink. Let's get drunk before we stop."

In addition, Wang Fuchen himself has also made progress with Wu Sangui and is now considered one of his own by Wu Sangui!

As for working with Wu Sangui in Yunnan. I am Wang Shikai, not Wu Shikai. I will not do the business of assisting Wu Sangui in becoming emperor.

He was about to raise the issue of receiving the goods first with Wu Shijue, but Wu Shicong, a good brother, came to do bad things and good things. Wu Shicong thought about it and said: "Uncle Wang has been the headquarter for more than ten years, and he has already saved enough to be promoted to admiral.

, and his old man is also a Han soldier of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. As long as the money is available, it is not difficult to become an admiral. As for raising the flag, it is a piece of cake. The uncle is only in the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it is not true.

Doing the wrapping business."

Wang Zhongxiao looked at the two late officials of the Qing Dynasty who didn't know that they would face the "first rebellion" in their lives in a few years, and said with a smile: "Let's talk about land enclosure first. You can go to Fushun County, Xuzhou Prefecture, Sichuan Province to enclose land.

!”

"Enclosure? Where to enclose it? What's the use of enclosing it?"

So he can still speak out about giving Wu Sangui more money.

"Here, this" Wu Shijue whispered, "Brother, how about you be a matchmaker? Anyway, my sister is not betrothed to anyone yet."

"We should, we should, we have to discuss it carefully." Wang Fuchen was also very happy now. Wang Zhongxiao, the little brat, is going to be successful this time! According to the old man Wu Sangui, it's better to be better than the old man.

! In other words, you are more capable than I am. It seems that this time you go to Beijing, you may really be able to find a way to become an imperial guard.

"Fushun County, Xuzhou Prefecture, Sichuan Province?" Wu Shijue was confused.

It turns out that Wu Shijue also has an unfilial father!

Xiao Tu breathed a sigh of relief, and gave Wu Shicong another blessing gift. He blushed and said, "Then Brother Lao will be here."

"Wang Shikai!" Wu Shijue, under the influence of alcohol, finally forced himself to talk about the bet, "I, Wu Shijue, am convinced that I have lost today, and I am willing to accept my defeat in the bet. I, I will tie up Xiao Tu for you."

Tied up! Are you satisfied?"

Wu Shicong turned to look at Wang Zhongxiao, "Shikai, what do you think?"

"Isn't that right?" Wang Zhongxiao said, "The wife and daughter who are married have to serve the master! That's why the old man in my family has always refused to renew his marriage, and the little wives who are not on the list of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have accepted eight. How about you let me

Girl."

Wu Shicong turned back to Wang Zhongxiao and Wu Shijue said: "Shikai, Shijue, come to my place for a drink!"

"Brother Shicong, I, I, I. I was tired from playing the drum just now, so my face is a little red."

Wu Shijue shook his head like a rattle, "Of course he doesn't know, how could he know? If he knew, he wouldn't beat me to death?"

"Come on, brother Shikai, you're a little shallower, and I'm a little deep. Shijue, you drink too, we three brothers will stop drinking once we're drunk!"

"No?" Wu Shijue was anxious, "Wang Er, what makes my sister not worthy of you?"

"Sichuan salt?"

What? You tied up the little dodder? This is not possible! Wang Zhongxiao said heartily: My little dodder, why do you tie it up? I have to tie it up myself.

"Really Xiao Tu? Why do you two bet with Xiao Tu?" Wu Shicong actually saw some clues, but he was still shocked when Wu Shijue said it himself. He then asked, "Does Xiao Tu know?"

The eyes of brothers Wu Shicong and Wu Shijue were bright. They didn't know much about Fushun County, but did they know about the famous artesian well? In the Ming Dynasty, the artesian well that produced well salt kept pouring out twelve hours a day.

What a "money well" for spewing money!

Wang Zhongxiao hurriedly explained: "Third brother, don't worry! I just said that it can't be done now. Have you forgotten who I am? I can't reveal that the matchmaker is marrying your sister now."

Wang Zhong said filially: It doesn't matter if you can't wait, I can receive the goods first!

Wang Zhongxiao was about to nod in agreement when he suddenly saw Wu Xiaotuo jumping from behind the bamboo forest and standing in front of Wang Zhongxiao with a red face. He just lowered his head and looked at his feet without saying a word.

Wang Zhongxiao just shook his head slightly and said, "Not now."

"Shijue, you misunderstood," Wang Zhongxiao waved his hand and said, "I meant to let Xiao Tu wait a few more years, wait for me to become an imperial guard, wait for my father to be promoted to admiral, and then spend some money to leave.

If the disciples raise a flag, won't everything be settled?"

Wu Shicong nodded, looked at Wu Xiaotuo carefully, and then glanced at Wang Zhongxiao. He seemed to understand something, so he said to Wu Xiaotuo: "Xiaotuo, since you are tired, you should rest first. Second Brother Wang is now

You, your second brother, and I are all officially sworn brothers. What can’t we discuss carefully? You don’t have to worry.” Then he patted his chest and said, “I have everything with you!”

"Well salt?"

"But, will the Sichuan Salt Method Road intervene?" Wu Shicong was still more thoughtful. He had already thought of the Sichuan Salt Method Road intervening when his family occupied the Ziliujing salt industry.

"I know." Wu Shijue muttered, "She is not a good person either!"

Wang Zhongxiao smiled and said three words: "Artesian well!"

Wu Shicong diligently poured a bowl of wine for Wang Zhongxiao and invited Wu Shijue to drink with him, acting like a big brother, as if he was Liu among the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang.

"This is." Wu Shicong seemed to have thought of something.

Because Wu Sangui looked fierce, but in fact he was just an old Wu Adou who couldn't be helped. Otherwise, history would have made him a hero, and Kangxi would probably have been the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

Wu Shijue seemed to be preoccupied because the wine was not good, so he just poured cup after cup into his mouth. He was already a little drunk. He picked up the wine glass and wanted to take a sip, but when it reached his mouth, he couldn't drink it, so he slapped the wine glass on the table.

The last hit shocked the two brothers Wu Shicong and Wang Shikai, and they all turned to look at him.

"That's right! It's easy to talk to Xuzhou Prefecture and Fushun County. They are right next to our Yunnan Province. I don't dare to offend my grandfather. But the salt master supervises the production of the salt farm, assesses the price of salt, and manages water and land transportation. This is a

There is a big fat vacancy! The one who can fill this vacancy is ninety-nine times out of ten someone in the government! If the salt law road cannot be settled, even if he cannot interfere with our artesian salt industry, he can still block the route of private salt export.

"

"What? How can it be so easy for you to be a guard and your father to be an admiral?" Wu Shijue frowned, "How many years will it take? Can my sister wait?"

"What about your father?" Wu Shicong asked again.

Wu Shijue was afraid that Wang Shikai would ask him if he wanted a girl, so he quickly echoed: "Let's go and have a drink!"

Wang Zhongxiao said: "Sichuan has experienced great chaos in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. Although the population has decreased by 90%, the fertile soil is still there, and the salt industry in Ziliujing is still there! If we brothers can join forces to win the salt industry in Ziliujing, we can also build a new business in Fushun.

There are thousands of hectares of fertile farmland under the county circle. That is a wealth that no one’s descendants can eat up!

Wang Zhongxiao smiled and said: "If my father really became an official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, with his rank, the four major weaving industries are not enough for him, and he would not be able to earn one hundred and two hundred thousand taels of snowflake silver a year? He wants to

Raising the flag, the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs didn't beat gongs and drums to send him away?

When I become a bodyguard this time, I will definitely help my unlearned father find his way around. I must buy a fatter admiral. I must make more money, otherwise I will lose money! Big brother, third brother, you two

Don’t stay in Yunnan all the time. If you want to develop, you have to go outside.”

Wang Zhongxiao is also a veteran of the wine shop. Of course, that happened in his previous life! He has a good capacity for drinking in this life, but he will get into trouble when he drinks too much, and he will lose his soul when he gets into trouble. So he does not dare to drink openly now, so he has to

After taking a few sips, wipe your mouth with a white handkerchief and "wipe" a little of the wine out of your mouth.

Of course Wang Zhongxiao understood what this little beauty was thinking. But we can’t rush this matter! Wang Zhongxiao thought to himself: I have to go to Beijing to help the little emperor capture Obei and become a loyal minister! For the sake of the Qing Dynasty, I can’t marry you now.

"Wu Xiaotu". If I have to be Wu Sangui's grandson-in-law, how can I be the confidant of the young Emperor Kangxi? If I can't be Kangxi's confidant, then I will lose the title of "Shikai". I'm afraid it will be difficult to be a confidant of the Qing Dynasty.

This is the end of the "great minister".

Wang Fuchen was assigned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and was regarded as a domestic slave of the young emperor Kangxi. Theoretically, he came to Yunnan to watch over Wu Sangui on behalf of the young emperor Kangxi.

"No, no!" Wu Shijue immediately shouted, "My father will not agree!"

Moreover, with the support of the Ziliujing Salt Industry, we can gather people in Fushun County and even the entire Xuzhou Prefecture, and enclose land for reclamation. We can also operate Ziliujing into a hub for the southward transportation of horses, saltpeter, and sulfur from Gansu, Shaanxi and Sichuan.
