Chapter 94： Qing Army Going South

When Xu Baoxin and others saw the mountain of goods, they were completely desperate.

Obviously, Wu Zhiyue did not lie to them. They need to think carefully about where to go next.

"Business is really hard to do now."

Xu Baoxin said with emotion.

"I don't think it is necessarily. I just inquired about and found a piece of heavy news. Governor Wu bought spices from the Dutch for only one or two silver and a catty, while other merchants bought spices from Governor Wu for two. Two silver a catty. What’s more dark is that everyone sells porcelain to him for only three taels of silver, and he sells it to the Dutch for 50 taels. If we bypass him and trade directly with the Dutch, the profit will be more than that. Times."

A cloth merchant surnamed Huang said that he now plans to dispose of the goods at a low price, and then focus on doing business with overseas merchants.

"But, who among us speaks Dutch? Those bird languages ​​are so obscure, there is no way to communicate."

Xu Baoxin vomited.

Although Huaxia also has a variety of dialects, communication in general is not a problem. It is really impossible to make gestures, and you can almost communicate.

It is more convenient if both parties have read books. The language used in the writing is the national standard.

"We can send a smart person in the family, and then hire Lu Shanwei as a professor."

The shopkeeper Huang said.

He didn't know that at this time, Lu Shanwei had already been assigned a task by Wu Changqing, which was to open a foreign language school in Songjiang to teach Dutch and Portuguese.

In addition, Wu Changqing is still sending people to look for people who can speak English, and he is planning to get over as a teacher.

People who can speak foreign languages ​​will be very short in the future, and Wu Changqing has already begun to arrange training in advance.

Wu Changqing spent a few days in Songjiang, personally instructing Songjiang County magistrate Sun Yangxiao on how to manage and develop the Songjiang commercial area.

This is the county he valued most, and he also taught Sun Yangxiao.

"If you can manage Songjiang well for me, you will choose the official positions of the third and fourth ranks in the future, if you can't manage this place well."

Wu Changqing did not say clearly, let Sun Yangxiao experience it by himself.

When Sun Yangxiao heard the words, he quickly said that he would do his best and die, and he would pick any official position of the third and fourth ranks. This temptation was really too big, so big that he could resist corruption.

When you reach the third rank, you can earn a lot at that time.

After spending a few days in Songjiang, Wu Changqing returned to Suzhou.

When he returned home, he found that Qian Ruyu, Dong Xiaowan and others had a great time playing with Chen Yuyan and others in the backyard. They played Mahjong made by Wu Changqing.

"How are you feeling? Did you lose all your private money?"

Wu Changqing walked to Chen Yuyan and teased.

His words made Chen Yuyan a red face, but she also enjoyed Wu Changqing's way of speaking.

"Sister-in-law's luck is good, so I lost five taels of silver."

Wu Yu vomited.

"If you lose so much and continue to play, you are not afraid to lose all your lucky money?" Wu Changqing asked with a smile.

"It's to blame you, the Governor, for making such a fun game, I lost eight taels of silver, and I still can't bear to end it."

Qian Ruyu said.

"Blam me, blame me, I will personally lose some money to you."

Wu Changqing hasn't touched Mahjong for a long time, so he took this opportunity to play two.

Then Chen Yuyan gave him the position and let him play.

It's just that Wu Changqing said that he would lose money, but when he started fighting, he didn't release water at all. His card skills are definitely better than those who have just learned, and his luck is also pretty good, even Hu three.

"Oh, I'm embarrassed to be foolish again, let's accept."

Wu Changqing smiled and stretched out his hand for money.

"Big liar, he also said that he wanted to give money, he was more clever than his sister-in-law."

Wu Yu vomited.

When Qian Ruyu paid out the money, his finger pretended to inadvertently touch Wu Changqing's hand.

If this were for a teenager who hadn't tasted meat yet, this would definitely be unbearable. Maybe he would soon be thinking about it, and then there would be a physiological reaction.

And now Wu Changqing is indifferent to this level of teasing.

While playing, suddenly personal soldiers came to report that there was an emergency military situation.

"You guys keep playing."

Wu Changqing stopped helplessly. For him, leisure has become a luxury.

After Wu Changqing left, Dong Xiaowan said: "The Governor-General is really funny. He clearly holds a heavy hand and is in charge of the finances of a province. He will be so happy because he won two taels of silver."

"He was like this when he was not on official business."

Chen Yuyan has become accustomed to Wu Changqing's two-faced approach, and when dealing with business matters seriously, he is frivolous and impetuous on weekdays.

"Your Excellency is so interesting, Yuyan, you are blessed."

Qian Ruyu said.

........

According to intelligence, the Manchu army has begun to move south. The specific number is unknown, but it is estimated to be more than 100,000.

At present, Wu Changqing’s intelligence system is limited to the south of the Yangtze River and is relatively complete, with only a small amount of penetration in the north of the Yangtze River, so the intelligence he inquired is not very accurate.

The only certainty is that the main force of the Manchu, the Eight Banners Army has already begun to move south.

This is actually what Wu Changqing expected. He has been preparing for this battle for a long time. Not only has the army expanded to 60,000 troops, there are still 20,000 people on standby in the training camp.

Soldiers in these training camps are training basic combat skills every day. As long as the battle ahead is tight, they can be dispatched to supplement the battle at any time, which is not much different from the regular army.

For the time being, there are only so many troops. Although they are still recruiting and expanding, the basic training will take a month. In a short period of time, the troops will be so much.

In terms of weapons, there are 6,000 flintlocks, 9,000 ordinary matchlocks, 3,000 crossbows, 3,000 horses, and 30 artillery.

These thirty artillery pieces are all large-caliber guns of the red cannon level. More importantly, these artillery pieces can now fire both solid rounds and howitzers.

However, the current number of howitzers is not large, this thing is all made by hand, because the structure is exquisite, it has to be completed by very skilled craftsmen.

Therefore, howitzers can only be made by hand at present, and there is no way to mass produce them. How to simplify the structure to achieve mass production is the next topic for Guan Mengfei.

After looking at his own troops and weapons data, Wu Changqing felt that he could have a head-on battle with the main forces of the Qing Dynasty.

Wu Changqing stayed in the study alone, looking at a very accurate map, he was thinking about how to fight this battle to minimize the loss.

If the loss is too great, he will not have the strength to attack Nanjing again.

And when he came to recuperate, Man Qing was able to catch his breath. With the territory currently controlled by the Manchus, it is much easier to restore strength than Wu Changqing.

Therefore, Wu Changqing must do low loss and come to a big victory. Then he took the opportunity to advance to the northwest and took down the two cities of Zhenjiang and Nanjing, so as to defend against the river and gain a firm foothold in the south.

But how can we achieve low loss?

Wu Changqing fell into thinking.
