The Counterattack of the Villains in the Movie World

Chapter 127 Zao Wou-ki Is Crazy
No one dared to move.

Even if Zhao Wuji killed their adults in front of them.

There are actually three reasons for this.

The first reason is that after Qi Shan's death, those who had the right to give orders in the arena knew that Zao Wou-ki was the real Zao Wou-ki, the general appointed by Emperor Xianfeng, and had the authority to oversee counter-insurgency matters.

Qi Shan dared to kill Zao Wou-ki, but it didn't mean that they also dared to kill Zao Wou-ki.

The second reason is the force that Zao Wou-ki showed just now. Although they were very close to the place of the second battle of Zao Wou-ki's Zhuangyuan battalion, and now it is the place of the third battle, after all, they did not see Zhao Wou-ki fighting against Wan Jun with their own eyes. Among them, take the head of the enemy general.So before, they dared to besiege and kill Zhao Wuji when they only prepared a few hundred people.

But now, they finally witnessed with their own eyes why Zao Wou-ki was called the number one expert in the world. Even if they had the intention to kill Zhao Wou-ki, they dared not give orders easily, because the consequence of ordering would be to be killed by Zao Wou-ki on the spot.

The third reason is that they knew very well that Zao Wou-ki was doomed.Even if Zhao Wuji is the general under orders now, he does not have the right to kill Qi Shan, because Qi Shan is not only the commander of the Jiangbei camp, but also the imperial envoy.

The so-called imperial envoys represent the emperor, so only the emperor can kill the imperial envoys.

The most important thing is that Qi Shan is one of the representative figures in charge of military power among the Manchus, not much worse than Zao Wou-ki's previous "good brother" Seng Gelinqin. Seng Gelinqin is stronger than his status as the king of the county.

Don't say that Wu Yan has no right and no reason to kill Qi Shan himself, even if Wu Yan has the right, if he really kills like this, Emperor Xianfeng must punish Zhao Wuji in order to appease the anger of the Manchu nobles sin.

The dispute between Manchu and Han has always been a complete victory in the Qing court.

Since he was dead, why did he take the risk of being killed by Zao Wou-ki and kill Zao Wou-ki with a force that might not be able to kill Zao Wou-ki?

Wu Yan also had a panoramic view of the performance of the people around him.

After a little thought, he understood the multiple reasons why these people didn't do anything, so while he was relieved, he also laughed.

It's normal to breathe a sigh of relief, because if he is really besieged, the twelve subordinates he brought must be dead without a place to bury him, and even if he can go out safely, it will definitely consume the final statute of limitations of Zao Wou-ki's character card .

Without the card of Zao Wou-ki, he would be the number one in the world. After all, his internal strength has not yet reached the highest level of "Nine Suns Divine Art".Although Zao Wou-ki's internal strength is relatively weak, Sheng is able to maintain the peak state of the character when the character card is not injured. The internal strength is within the time limit, which is equivalent to infinity.

"Who are you and what is your position?"

No one dared to do anything, so Wu Yan just threw away Qi Shan's body, and when he didn't need to use it to block bullets, holding the body of a 60-year-old man felt a little disgusting.

A general pointed at by Wu Yan shook his body and wanted to retreat subconsciously, but found that the people around him were crowded and he had no place to retreat.And the eyes of all the people around were focused on him again, so they could only bite the bullet and reply: "If you go back to the general, I will be the next official, Shengbao, to serve as the assistant minister of military affairs for the Jiangbei camp."

Wu Yan frowned, because he had never heard of this name. Although Zola's character card contained a lot of information, even if Zola himself became a "digital life", it was impossible to remember everything. And transform it into a character card for Wu Yan to use.

Sheng Bao noticed Wu Yan's expression, and hurriedly said: "General, I have been dissatisfied with Qi Shan for a long time, and even wrote to His Majesty to punish Qi Shan. He only wanted to stand on his own feet, but failed to make real achievements. His Majesty also reprimanded him." Qi Shan, said that Qi Shan is old and has no ambition, if you don't feel ashamed, I will use the Nibilong knife to punish you. Now that the general killed Qi Shan with his own hands, it can be considered as a relief for His Majesty."

And this thing?

What Wu Yan didn't know was that Qishan was able to take back Yangzhou not because Qishan was really good at fighting, but because he used the trick Yang Xiuqing used to deal with him.

Yang Xiuqing brought [-] soldiers and horses over, but instead of storming the Zhuangyuan camp, he erected a wall to clear the field, and cut off the logistics supplies of the Zhuangyuan camp, just waiting for the Zhuangyuan camp to run out of food and grass to cause a mutiny. able to take him down.

The same is true for Qi Shan's attack on Yangzhou, he besieged but did not attack, and waited for the Taiping army in Yangzhou to run out of food and grass.

Because he was too "steady", the anxious Emperor Xianfeng uttered the threatening words that Sheng Bao had just relayed.

"Yes, you are very good."

When everyone else looked at Sheng Bao with hatred, disdain, and mockery, Wu Yan praised Sheng Bao.

On the surface Sheng Bao is happy to thank Biao for his loyalty, but in his heart he is scolding Zhao Wou-Ki, thinking of settling accounts after the fall.

Wu Yan pointed at another person and asked, "Who are you?"

"Back to the general, my subordinate, Lei Yicheng, is also the Deputy Minister of Military Affairs of the Jiangbei Camp."

With Shengbao taking the lead, the others naturally took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey.

Hearing this name, Wu Yan's eyes lit up, he knew this.

He had thought about asking Zeng Guofan to help him make money before, and the likin system used by Zeng Guofan was invented by this man named Lei Yicheng.

"Lei Yicheng, right?" Wu Yan said, "Bring me all the generals in the army and Qi Shan's former staff, and the rest will return to the camp immediately."

Lei Yicheng was stunned for a moment, hesitated again, and then began to arrange things under Wu Yan's threatening eyes.

Sheng Bao was also stunned: Obviously he was looking for me first, why didn't you let me do it?If I were to do it, wouldn't it be possible to kill those people who didn't deal with me?

Wu Yan was a mistake, he chose Lei Yicheng because of the lijin system, otherwise, if he chose Shengbao, he would definitely be cheated in the future.

It's not about killing Qishan, but Shengbao has a name "Baobao" in history. He has failed all his life and was dismissed many times. His only "merit" is supporting Cixi and Prince Gong. The Xinyou coup, but later because of domineering, was ordered to commit suicide by Empress Dowager Cixi.

In short, it's a piece of crap.

Under the orders of Lei Yicheng and others, the ordinary soldiers around also returned to their places where they should be. At the same time, the news that Zhao Wuji came and killed Qi Shan spread to the entire camp.

In Lei Yicheng's eyes, some qualified generals and aides were also gathered here, not only those who were on the scene just now, but also some generals who were not Qi Shan's confidantes, so when Qi Shan wanted to kill Wu Yan just now, he didn't shout come over.

And this time, it's all in place.

"I know what you're thinking."

After all the people arrived, Wu Yan asked the names of the relevant positions, and said directly: "If I killed Qi Shan, I will definitely be punished by His Majesty, but as long as the imperial edict to punish the crime does not come within a day, then I will lead all counter-insurgency The matter is ordered by the general."

No one dared to argue, but the thoughts in my heart were a bit messy.

Some people who thought they were smart thought that Zao Wou-ki was going to use the merits of countering the rebellion to offset the crime of killing Qi Shan, so they made up their minds and never cooperated with Zhao Wou-ki.

Wu Yan also knew what these people were going to do, but he didn't care at all.

"So, if someone dares to disobey my order, then don't blame me for killing people without blinking an eye. I will kill Qishan, and I don't care about killing more."

No one doesn't believe this sentence, but among these people, there are still many people who are determined not to cooperate, and they are too good at doing things like obedience and obedience.

Absolutely can't find faults on the bright side.

"Lei Yicheng." Wu Yan said by name, "How much food and grass are there in the Jiangbei camp?"

Lei Yicheng actually didn't plan to tell the truth, but he also knew that there were some people in the field who were not from Qishan's side, that is, they were not in his camp, so he could only tell the truth.

Wu Yan nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Immediately arrange manpower and prepare food and grass to send to the Zhuangyuan camp on the other side of the river. Xiao Liu, take a few people back and let Master Zheng prepare for the handover."

The Xiaoliu who had just survived from death was the one who stabbed Wu Yan and shot Wu Yan. He is currently the leader of Wu Yan's bodyguards, and immediately took orders to lead people away.

Lei Yicheng didn't dare to refuse, and he didn't dare to be obedient in this matter. What they planned to be obedient to was when they attacked Nanjing City or fought against the Taiping Army.

"Then prepare [-] sets of winter clothes, [-] for the champion camp, and [-] for the military camp."

Wu Yan continued to order that Jiangbei Daying's money should not be spent in vain.

But Lei Yicheng said in embarrassment: "General, it's not that I don't obey orders, but that a clever woman can't cook without rice. Although I am the assistant minister of military affairs, we don't have much money in the Jiangbei camp. Before Qishan...has already discussed with us to ask the soldiers to donate their salaries to buy food, ordnance, winter clothes and other things for the army."

This is the truth, and it is also one of the reasons why the Jiangbei camp was clearly a regular army, but they couldn't beat the Taiping army afterwards.

You have donated all the money, who will work for you?

Wu Yan frowned, but it's not good to make a killing at this time, because it is indeed difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

After pondering for a while, Wu Yan asked, "Are you arranging for someone to collect likin?"

Lei Yicheng replied honestly: "Back to the general, it is true, but because we are in a war zone, there are not many merchants passing by, even if we have already taken out ten out of a hundred, it is still difficult to make up enough military pay. There is another matter to tell the general General, the collection of lijin is a suggestion from Qian Jiang, one of Qi Shan's staff."

This is because Lei Yicheng is worried that Wu Yan will let him charge lijin crazily, and the sky will be angry and people will blame him for his death.

Qian Jiang, who was named, was also there, and with a shake of his body, he cursed in his heart.

It is true that he came up with the lijin system, but he gave advice to Lei Yicheng instead of Qi Shan, just because he is good at making money, and because of the merits of the lijin system, Qi Shan saw it in his eyes.

Wu Yan was a little surprised, he always thought that the lijin system was invented by Lei Yicheng, so there is also a Qianjiang.

"Qianjiang." Wu Yan asked by name: "Since it is the likin system you proposed, why don't you charge foreign businessmen's likin?"

The lijin system can be said to be the key to helping the Qing government defeat the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but this system has many disadvantages, not to mention increasing the economic burden of ordinary people and inhibiting the circulation of goods. The worst impact is that it is only internal and not external.

Only accept likin from Chinese people, not foreigners doing business in China.

At this time, the productivity of foreign countries was already higher than that of domestic ones, because the rise in costs caused by the lijin system, on the one hand, increased the prices of domestic export products, and on the other hand, changed the direction of reducing the cost of foreign goods.

The development of domestic industry and commerce has been severely damaged, and foreign industry and commerce have better opportunities for development because of the huge market of Huaxia.

This is also one of the main reasons why in modern China, the industrial and commercial strength is far inferior to that of foreign countries, and the impact is very serious.

When hearing Wu Yan's question, Qian Jiang was dumbfounded.

Why don't you accept likin from foreign businessmen?
I have to dare too.

Don't say I dare not, don't say Jiangbei Daying dare not, you can ask Emperor Xianfeng if he dares?

Qian Jiang is not an ordinary strategist, he is considered one of the celebrities of this era. He was born as a supervisor. His ancestors were the governor of Shandong during the Kangxi period. He participated in the anti-British struggle in Guangzhou in 1842. He can be regarded as a patriot. He even led the crowd to burn the British Ocean Hall.

But at that time, the Qing court did not allow the people to fight against the British, because the first Opium War that started in 1840 was frightened by the British, so Qian Jiang was arrested, removed from the status of supervisor, and exiled to Ili, which is the Xinjiang of later generations.

Finally, Lin Zexu and Lin Zexu, who were also dispatched in Yili, were pardoned for their meritorious service in governing the village, and later served as Lin Zexu's staff. After finding a background, he came to Jiangbei Daying to offer advice-the lijin system.

Based on the previous situation, how dare to offend foreign businessmen?
"Why don't you speak?"

Wu Yan didn't know the story of Qian Jiang's past, so he asked with a cold face.

Qian Jiang bit the bullet and replied: "Go back to the General, because I dare not, I dare not, Qi Shan does not dare, and the General should not dare."

This is a broken can, and it can be regarded as a celebrity.

When other people heard this sentence, they felt that Qian Jiang was doomed. After all, in their view, Zhao Wuji was a murderous martial artist and reckless man.

However, Wu Yan laughed loudly when he heard Qian Jiang's words, and said, "Qian Jiang, I order you to lead troops to Songjiang Mansion, and within a month, collect at least one million taels of gold from foreign businessmen."

Qian Jiang was dumbfounded.

Everyone else present was also dumbfounded.

This Zao Wou-ki just killed Qi Shan, offended all the nobles of the Manchus in the Qing court, and even offended Emperor Xianfeng for killing the imperial envoy without authorization, and now he wants to offend foreign businessmen?

Songjiang Mansion will be Shanghai in the future. There are really many foreign businessmen at the moment, not only the number of people is large, but also the countries represented. Britain, France, Germany, Tsarist Russia, etc., which one is easy to provoke?

Is this disgusting that I didn't die fast enough?
Or, knowing that he was bound to die, he had one final madness?

But what made everyone completely dumbfounded was that Wu Yan added another sentence: "The million taels I'm talking about is not silver, but gold."

crazy.

At this time, the exchange ratio between silver and gold is 1:20, which means that what Wu Yan wants is 2000 million taels of silver, and when Emperor Xianfeng succeeded to the throne, how much money was there in the treasury?There is only 22.2 taels of silver in the household.

Afterwards, the Qing government was able to suppress the Taiping Rebellion, relying on the issuance of large amounts of money worth one thousand, selling officials, issuing official notes that were not allowed to be exchanged for cash and copper coins, and the lijin system, and finally raised a total of 1.7 million taels of silver.

But it took more than ten years to raise the 1.7 million taels.

Everyone stared at Wu Yan dumbfounded, Zhao Wou-ki in their eyes had the same idea in their minds: Zhao Wou-ki is crazy.
