    557 Conclusion (Part 1)

    People are always strange. They loathe the environment they live in. After suddenly being in a strange world, they will always try their best to change the surrounding environment into a familiar era.  \\9vk¡¡.  com¡¡First release\\You can say this is habit, dependence, bad taste, etc.  But what is certain is that people are always at home in a familiar environment.  The same is true for the time traveling people Of course, after the transformation, although they are in a similar environment, their identities have undergone earth-shaking changes.  They will become vested interests from the grassroots.

    So sometimes you can¡¯t simply understand the bad taste of people who travel through time as bad taste.  This is a positive move by them to try to transform and integrate into this era.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Shi Wenbo, who satisfied the great ocean horse, and took a ship to Batavia early the next morning.  He looked forward to having some wonderful memories in Batavia, just like the time he brought Anna back.  The difference is that this time the object is a wonderful gadget that can turn a lady into a slut - money.

    On the same day, HSBC officially started selling war bonds at sixteen outlets in Nanming.  Of course, HSBC gave it a very seductive name: Patriotic Bonds.

    From Yangzhou to Guangzhou, from Shanghai to Guilin, the sweet-looking tellers of HSBC Bank will always flash their big eyes and explain to customers in an intoxicating tone the benefits of patriotic bonds and how to proceed with the Northern Expedition after completing a transaction.  The huge returns this bond can bring if successful.

    Even if we don¡¯t take into account the huge room for appreciation after the success of the Northern Expedition, the official three-year annual return rate of 10% is much higher than a bank¡¯s time deposit.  Maybe the wealthy households in the Ming Dynasty were already familiar with paper money such as food stamps, or they regarded the thin piece of paper as a time deposit certificate. In short, they regarded the bonds as a new trick launched by HSBC Bank.  Higher returns, more benefits.  Therefore, those who have spare money on hand, or those who have no intention to invest for the time being, will always buy more or less.  It is also thanks to the golden name of HSBC. Judging from the feedback from sixteen outlets, the sales of war bonds are not bad.

    Analysts within the bank optimistically estimate that nearly three million taels of silver bonds are likely to be sold within two months.  Such a good sales situation actually caused Nanming's household department to worry.  Tobe Shojiu Astronomy//

    The CPA spent a full hour explaining the benefits of national debt to the Minister of Revenue.  For example, to stimulate economic growth and implement infrastructure investment.  But our Minister of Revenue just shook his head. He was even more worried that if the court could not repay the money during his term, he would be blamed by both the government and the public, and then he would pack up his clothes and run away.

    Shen Chen secretly cursed for a while, and then it only took two minutes to convince the Minister of Household Affairs.  The guy left happily. Before leaving, his attitude made a 180-degree turn, saying that he would sell as much as he could.

    Because Shen Chen told him that national debt is not a one-time thing, but can be a long-term national policy.  The clever Minister of Household Affairs immediately thought of demolishing the east wall to repair the west wall.  Last year's debts will be repaid this year, and Yin's grain will be eaten.  As for whether Daming's finances can afford it, he doesn't care.  As long as the Ming Dynasty's finances did not collapse during his tenure, it would be fine.  On the contrary, if more money is collected at this time, maybe the court will reward the Minister of Household Affairs.

    At the same time, the court's newspapers had already spread to various places along with the waves of the expensive telegraph office run by Australians.  The discussion of the Northern Expedition has already aroused heated discussions among the government and the public.

    Of course, when the parents and officials received the telegram and briefly read the content, their first reaction was that the Qingliu gang was in trouble again.  Of course, if you don¡¯t bother, it¡¯s not Qingliu.  There will always be one or two struggles every month. This month they are clamoring for the Northern Expedition, and the next month they are clamoring for the extermination of the Tartars.  It was as if the Tatars entrenched in Jiangbei would disappear with their hoarse roars.

    But upon closer inspection, something seems not quite right.  How come it was Ma Shiying who proposed the Northern Expedition, and then a bunch of Qingliu people found various credible and unreliable reasons to postpone it?  Hiss is the court going to get serious this time?

    The politics in Ming Dynasty¡¯s official circles have always been about looking at the butt first and then the head.  Not to mention the local officials promoted by Ma Shiying, all of them agreed with the Northern Expedition; the guys who were life and death enemies of Ma Shiying were just the opposite. On the one hand, they exaggerated the power of the Manchu cavalry and on the other hand, they exaggerated the embarrassment of the imperial court's finances.  The local officials who followed the trend, while enduring the expensive charges of the telegraph office, became accustomed to concise and concise speech; at the same time, they kept churning out huge works to refute their shameless opponents.

    The Nanjing Times, run by an Australian, even excerpted wonderful articles from the imperial palace newspaper.  The wonderful arguments of the opposing parties were printed in newspapers, thereby turning the trend in the officialdom into a nationwide storm.

    ???????????????????????????????????????Everyone is talking about the imperial court's Northern Expedition.  There are those who are in favor, either out of a patriotic heart, or because they bought huge war bonds, or because the scars have healed and they have forgotten the pain; there are those who are opposed, either because of the psychological shadow left by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, or  It was out of extreme disappointment with the imperial court; more often than not, it was just to make peace with others.

    Fighting?  That thing can't be used as food.  Ordinary people, all they want is three meals a day.  War is a matter for the big shots in the imperial court to decide, so why bother?  If you have the time, why not listen to a piece of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" played by the Voice of Australia on the street.

    Unlike the excitement of the scholars and the different opinions of the small figures in the officialdom, the governors of various places who can really play a decisive role, these feudal officials, all remain silent without exception.  They are watching, waiting, waiting for the important minister who enjoys great popularity in the world to express his position.

    And what makes everyone scratch their heads is that it has been a full half month.  The highly regarded important minister of the Ming Dynasty has always remained silent.  Not only those who were watching Fengse were anxious, but even the Guangwu Army themselves were anxious.

    Zhaoqing, the Governor-General's Palace of Guangdong and Guangxi.

    Sun Chuanting, who had a lot of gray hair, was lying in a bamboo rocking chair, closing his eyes and relaxing, listening to the Kun Opera played on the radio, and leisurely shaking the cattail leaf fan.  It was as if this mansion was isolated from the world and he didn't pay any attention to anything outside.

    The clerk slipped into the back garden with a grimace and stood behind Sun Chuanting. He waited until the Kunqu opera ended and then bowed and said: "Sir, forty-seven officers of the Guangwu Army jointly signed a letter in blood, requesting to participate in the war."

    Sun Chuanting said "En" and then said nothing.

    The clerk was anxious: "Sir, no matter what your decision is, please move to the military camp. I am worried that if the trouble continues like this, something will happen sooner or later."

    "Change?" Sun Chuanting opened his eyes funny: "How to change? Is it possible that those guys like Lin Tai will mutiny?"

    "Thisit won't happen. It's just"

    Sun Chuanting waved his hand and interrupted the clerk's remarks.

    "There's no need to say it, I know what's going on."

    The Guangwu Army was created from scratch and followed the model of the Australian Army. It was entirely created by Sun Chuanting.  He could even call every lieutenant by name clearly.  Just like Li Yunlong said, every army will have the temperament of its founder engraved in its bones.  Sun Chuanting was not surprised at all by Guangwu Army's reaction.

    How could these soldiers of the Guangwu Army, who spent all day crawling around on the playground and shouting "Determined to Expedition to the North" at the top of their lungs while eating, sleeping and talking in their sleep, shrink back at this juncture?

    It is a good thing that the army is bloody, but Ma Shiying, an old fox, chose to launch the Northern Expedition at this inappropriate juncture. What was his intention behind it?  An excellent general must first be an excellent politician.  Sun Chuanting used literature and martial arts, so he was naturally familiar with the intrigues in the officialdom.  So he was watching, thinking, and waiting for Ma Shiying to see what was going on.  Then show them off as you see fit

    The clerk shut up and quit.  Suddenly he remembered something, stopped and reported: "Sir, Li Dingguo and others have arrived."

    "So soon?" Sun Chuanting asked in surprise: "Don't they still have half a month of vacation?"

    The secretary smiled and said: "Sir, Li Dingguo and others are surrendered generals I think they heard the news, so they naturally refused to miss the Northern Expedition." It is not easy for a surrendered general, and it will be even more difficult for a surrendered general to be a rebel.  Therefore, the surrendered generals either have to be otakus and live a useless life, or they have to work hard to achieve success on the battlefield.  Use military exploits to silence everyone.

    "Where are they?"

    "Waiting outside the door."

    Sun Chuanting stood up from the rocking chair, took a sip of tea, and said, "Introduce them to the back garden."

    The clerk promised, and within a short time, he led three young and dazzling young people to Sun Chuanting.

    "Humble positionLi Dingguo (Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi), see the Marshal!"

    After exchanging a few words, Sun Chuanting paced and said, "Guangwu Army has already made arrangements. What is the rank you received after graduating from the military academy?"

    "Come back to the commander, it's the captain."

    "Well, Captain. In our Guangwu Army, you just have to do the captain's job. I don't care about your previous experience, I only look at your actual performance. If you are strong and contribute a lot, you will naturally be promoted quickly. Do you have any chance?  objection?"

    Li Dingguo and the other three smiled bitterly in their hearts.  Now that I have been recruited, there are no objections.  From a general commanding thousands of troops to a small captain, this kind of gap is really not something that ordinary people can bear.

    ¡°It¡¯s natural for someone with a humble position to do his best¡±

    Sun Chuanting waved his hand: "I've heard too many clich¨¦s and I'm tired of it. Let's see the real story tomorrow You guys have arrived in Zhaoqing so quickly after a long day of work. I guess you heard about the Northern Expedition?"The three of them looked at each other and bowed in response.

    "In that case, what do you think of our Guangwu Army's stance?"

    Liu Wenxiu sneered and laughed: "The commander has already made a conclusion, why should I wait to comment?"
