Chapter 191 You Want to Rebel, and Those Who Stand in My Way Will Die

Chapter 191 You want to rebel? Anyone who stands in my way will die!

On the Yangtze River.

Su Yi's 10,000 troops were scattered on hundreds of ships.

Go down the river.

Su Yi and Zuo Zongtang were having a secret conversation.

The other party took the initiative to find him, so Su Yi finally met Jin Liang. (Zhuge Liang alive)

"Su Yi, what do you want to do?" After meeting, Zuo Zongtang got straight to the point.

Su Yi was silent for a while and said, "Brother Ji Gao, what do you think of the world today?"

Zuo Zongtang said: "It's rotten. It's rotten."

This prince is a national hero, and judging from the things he did, it seems that he is loyal to the Qing court.

However, his loyalty is to this country, not to the Qing court.

When the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom first gained momentum, he once had hopes for it and went to have a comprehensive interview with Hong Xiu.

After talking!

Enter your mother!

Hong Xiuquan asked him to join the God-worshipping cult and completely destroy Confucianism and Taoism.

Later, he discussed the possibility of rebellion with Zeng Guofan.

After rejecting this route, he became loyal to the Qing court and worked with all his strength. He spent almost the rest of his life fighting rebellions.

Ping back chaos, pacify chaos in frontiers.

It seems that he was indeed loyal to the Qing court, greatly safeguarded the unity of the country's territory, and made immortal contributions to the nation.

Su Yi said: "What do you think of foreigners?"

Zuo Zongtang said: "The beasts want to destroy my ancestral temple and cut off my foundation."

Among the senior officials of the Qing court, they all tolerated foreigners and were as afraid of them as ghosts. Zuo Zongtang was an exception.

This person is a hardliner towards foreigners from beginning to end.

Su Yi said: "After reading the Treaty of Tianjin recently signed by the imperial court, what do you think, Mr. Zuo?"

Zuo Zongtang said: "The eyes are about to burst, the blood is rushing to the brain, you have lost your power and humiliated the country!"

Su Yi said: "Based on these treaties, you probably know what our country will look like in the future."

Zuo Zongtang said: "The lifeblood of the entire country was captured by foreigners, and the spine was completely broken. It will never get up again."

Su Yi said: "The ultimate goal of the foreigners is to turn our country into a semi-colony and the largest dumping ground for foreign goods and opium. They can take whatever they ask for and become the sick man of East Asia, sinking for hundreds of years."

"The biggest clause in the treaty will completely destroy our country's industrial development, because foreign goods are sold in the mainland without paying any taxes. This clause alone will kill our national industry."

At this point, Zuo Zongtang slammed his fist on the table and roared: "Disgrace the country by losing power! Disgrace the country by losing power!"

Su Yi said slowly: "So, I started another route."

"I opened another diplomatic route in London, trying to adjust the British Empire's foreign policy towards China."

"I want my country to be an ally of the British Empire in East Asia."

"I want to borrow British capital and technology to industrialize the country."

"And join the hegemonic system of the British Empire and become the world's mainstream civilized country!"

"Within ten years, by defeating a powerful country, we will be completely recognized by the world's mainstream countries and become half of the world's great powers."

As soon as these words came out, Zuo Zongtang was stunned.

He kept saying that it is bright now, it is bright now!

It's true that the eyes are higher than the top, and no one takes it seriously.

He has his own ideas about enriching the country and strengthening the army, but it is not clear.

But now after hearing Su Yi's words, he was completely shocked.

There was only one feeling in his mind.

You...you...you are more bragging than me.

Su Yi said: "I haven't shown this next thing to anyone in China, not a single person."

"Zuo Jigao, you are the only person in the country who has read this document."

After that, Su Yi handed this thing to Zuo Zongtang.

This is the will of Prince Albert of the British Empire!

This prince personally endorsed Su Yi's Jiujiang Economic Zone.

Each of the words on this is of great weight.

British troops in the Far East have the responsibility to protect the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone.

The British Empire was a colony, and all markets were open to the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone.

Su Yi said slowly: "This Prince Albert is the husband of the Queen of Great Britain, and is called the Uncrowned King."

"I know him." Zuo Zongtang began to tremble all over.

He raised his head as if he was seeing Su Yi for the first time.

He really didn't expect that someone in the Qing Dynasty would go so far.

"I understand now, I completely understand." Zuo Zongtang said: "Why are you in such a situation now? Because if you take even half a step back, this Jiujiang Economic Pilot Zone will be wiped out."

"This is the only seedling of industrialization in the Qing Dynasty, where the hope lies." Zuo Zongtang said: "Even if there is Westernization in the future, even if there are factories, it will be completely different. The conditions you have received will never be available again in the future. ”

"I understand why you went on such a killing spree and why you didn't hesitate to fight the imperial court to the end."

"Because of this kind of thing, even if you compromise a little bit, the matter will definitely be over."

Su Yi said: "So, there are only two roads before our country."

"First, it became a decadent semi-colonial country."

“Second, we need to become an industrial power and strengthen ourselves through reform.”

"Count Elgin and others are trying to push our country into the first type, the abyss of destruction."

"The Prince Albert faction and our country are on the path of peaceful cooperation, because our country has a huge market and extremely cheap labor force, which can bring them huge benefits."

"Prince Albert is preparing to organize the 1860 World Expo, and the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone will be his biggest exhibition achievement. It can show the entire UK that the benefits his route has brought to the UK are far greater than war and dumping. ”

"The success of the 1860 World's Fair is related to the fate of our country."

"However, now I have encountered huge troubles. I have lost my holy family, I have lost the support of the imperial court, I have been dismissed as the governor of Jiangxi, I have lost the recognition of the central government, and my Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone has completely lost its official status. in the name of

"So in the eyes of the British, my Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone is like a flame. It goes out with just a slight blow, and the future is precarious."

"Prince Albert would have been strongly attacked by the opposition factions, and the 1860 World's Fair might have died because of the huge political and financial costs of holding the entire Exposition."

"A Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone that is precarious and not officially recognized is simply not worth the risk."

Zuo Zongtang said: "So?"

Su Yi said: "I need to set up a flag, I need to establish a strong political force."

"Establish another order!"

Zuo Zongtang asked: "What do you mean?"

Su Yi said: "I want to establish a southern cooperative economy. All the governors of the economically developed southern provinces will sign to join. Form a secret agreement and send it to London!"

"Let the British see that we are very powerful and can compete with the imperial court, at least it seems so."

"Our political stunts here are big enough, so Prince Albert can be the one to sing on the stage!"

"We can't just sit back and pin our hopes entirely on London, otherwise we will be doomed."

When Zuo Zongtang heard this, his hair stood on end.

He said it very matter-of-factly.

But what does it mean inside?

He wanted all the southern governors to side with him and fight against the central government.

The emperor and the court, if you are conservative and autistic, then you are playing your own tricks.

Our southern provinces are starting from scratch and implementing another economic order.

This... this is a typical one country, two policies.

Zuo Zongtang said tremblingly: "They will not agree!"

He Guiqing, the governor of Liangjiang, was the governor of Jiangsu, the governor of Hubei, the governor of Hunan, the governor of Anhui, the governor of Fujian, and the governor of Zhejiang.

Su Yi wants to deal with these people.

To put it bluntly, seven governors worked together to fight against the imperial court and establish a new economic order.

Su Yi said slowly: "They will agree."

Zuo Zongtang was slightly stunned.

Then, he understood what Su Yi meant.

Drive away wolves and swallow tigers.

Chills down my back again.

No wonder, Su Yi's army came out in full force.

Even Jiujiang is undefended.

What he meant was clear.

Who is in favor and who is against?

If you don’t agree, the rebellious army will attack!

Destroy your cities and capture your provincial capitals.

At that time, you will either commit suicide or lose your official position and be punished by the court.

Either sign a secret contract with me, Su Yi.

Or, be disgraced and die!

Zuo Zongtang said: "Can you control Shi Dakai's army?"

Su Yi said: "No, the only way is to drive it away!"

Zuo Zongtang felt numb again. Your Su Yi's handwriting may not be too big.

Use Shi Dakai's 70,000-strong army as a sword.

You only have an army of ten thousand.

The other side has an army of 70,000.

If you are not careful, you will be shattered into pieces.

Zuo Zongtang said: "Even if you succeed, it is an alliance under the city, and you can deny it afterwards."

Yes, you can indeed deny it.

Once they refuse to admit their mistakes, the products produced in Jiujiang will still not be able to enter the other party's market in the future.

Still can't complete the gambling agreement.

Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone will still fail.

Su Yi said: "On a certain day, when the sky suddenly collapses and the earth falls apart, these governors will recognize it and even be happy to have signed these contracts."

Zuo Zongtang was silent for a while and said: "You mean, the war between China and Britain is not over yet?"

Su Yi nodded and said: "Yes, not only is it not over, but it is just the beginning."

Zuo Zongtang said: "If you want to establish a new order and establish the Southern Economic Cooperation, you can't get around us no matter what, because we control Hubei and Hunan provinces, and we cannot be coerced by your military."

Su Yi said: "That's why I and Mr. Zuo will go out and talk to each other."

Zuo Zongtang was silent for a long time and said: "I'm going to talk to Zeng Guofan, Luo Bingzhang, and Hu Linyi."

“It’s a tough conversation because what you’re doing is so big.”

"You do it first, and then you can take down the governors of other provinces."

"I will try my best, but if you can't win over other governors, then let's stop talking."

"You should know that you are now completely at odds with the imperial court. After this wave of crisis passes, the imperial court will fully and openly attack your Jiujiang Economic Zone."

"But as long as you accomplish this important thing, the imperial court's attacks will be of no use."

Zuo Zongtang said: "I suddenly remembered that you really have to do this, otherwise you will not be able to support Prince Albert externally. Internally, your Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone will not be able to withstand the pressure of the imperial court."

“London’s side or China’s side, no matter which side fails, your Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone will fail.”

"So, before the imperial court implemented policies to suppress the Jiujiang Economic Pilot Zone, you took advantage of this war crisis to make plans and build the Southern Economic Cooperation."

"Using the power of several provinces, he fought against the central government!"

"Great, great, great..."

"Su Ye, you are great."

After Zuo Zongtang figured this out, he was immediately amazed.

Su Ye's moves were indeed wild and unrestrained!

It was indeed very open and closed.

When he started doing it, you couldn't even understand it at all.

With Zuo Jigao's talent, he finally understood it at this time.

Zuo Zongtang said: "Su Ye, I need you to tell me, when will the next Sino-British war break out?"

"The authority of the central government is still too great. If he really launches a comprehensive attack, we can't bear it. I also need to set a time point."

Su Ye said slowly: "About May or June next year."

Zuo Zongtang said: "With such a long time, I am afraid that some provinces can't bear the pressure of the court."

Su Ye said: "If you can't bear it, try your best to resist it."

"If there is really no way... then... let the war be advanced."

Zuo Zongtang said: "What will be the scale of this Sino-British war?"

Su Ye said: "It will be much larger than the one that just ended, and there is even a danger of national destruction."

Zuo Zongtang said: "Then you..."

Su Ye said: "Everything I did was to turn the tide and save the country at that moment."

Zuo Zongtang said: "Then what you have to do is much more difficult and much bigger than what we do."

"Then I'll leave, and I'll do my best."

"Su Ye, go do your thing."

Of course it's difficult, what Su Ye has to do is to save the world!

The most important thing is that he needs to let the sky fall down first.

Then, save it.

………………………………

A few days later!

Wuxi battlefield!

At this time, Wuxi City has been surrounded by Shi Dakai's tens of thousands of troops.

The main general of the more than 30,000 troops in the city is Zhang Guoliang, the governor of Jiangnan.

But He Guiqing has escaped once, so the morale of the defenders in the city is extremely low.

At this time, He Guiqing is not in Wuxi, but in Suzhou.

Shi Dakai's army outside Wuxi City is majestic and the morale is high.

"King Yi, Su Ye's envoy has arrived and asks to talk to you."

Shi Dakai was slightly stunned.

What is Su Ye doing here?

………………………………

A moment later!

Shi Dakai and Su Ye met alone on a small boat on the lake.

"Sir Su Ye, are you bringing troops to rescue Wuxi?" Shi Dakai said.

Su Ye said: "King Yi, are you planning to leave Tianjing and run away?"

Shi Dakai said: "That's ridiculous. I am loyal to the king."

Su Ye said: "Where are you going to when King Yi runs away?"

Historically, Shi Dakai first fought from Jiangxi to Zhejiang, then went to Fujian, then wanted to return to his hometown in Guangxi, and finally decided to go to Sichuan to emulate Liu Bang to achieve great things.

In this world, it is hard to say whether Shi Dakai's situation has improved or worsened.

First of all, he lost Jiangxi, which is definitely worse.

But in history, when he ran away, he didn't have much in his hands at the beginning. And this time, he ran away in the name of the Eastern Expedition and took away 70,000 troops.

Shi Dakai said: "I don't know what you mean. If this is what you said to me, then there is no need to talk."

Su Ye said: "King Yi, probably wants to plunder in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, make a fortune, and then go to Sichuan to emulate Emperor Gaozu of Han and achieve great things."

Shi Dakai closed his eyes and ignored what Su Ye said.

Su Ye said: "If you want to go to Sichuan, you must use the Yangtze River waterway, and the Yangtze River waterway is in my hands now. So can we cooperate?"

Shi Dakai said: "Cooperation? You, a high-ranking official of the Qing Dynasty, come to cooperate with me, the rebellious pseudo-king?"

Then Shi Dakai said: "How to cooperate?"

Su Ye said: "Next, which city does King Yi want to attack, discuss with me. Or, I want to attack which city, please cooperate with King Yi."

"Hahahahaha..." Shi Dakai laughed loudly and said: "Who do you think you are, Su Ye? How many soldiers do you have? Is it enough for 10,000?"

" You dare to say such big words in front of me, Shi Dakai? "

"Hahahaha..."

"You don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is!"

"I have analyzed all the battles you fought, Su Ye, and none of them were fair and square. They were all opportunistic."

"And the army you commanded has never exceeded three or four thousand."

"And I, Shi Dakai, have commanded an army of hundreds of thousands, two or three hundred thousand."

"Isn't it ridiculous for you to say these things in front of me?"

"Wait until you can survive under my army on the battlefield, then we can talk about it!"

"If you don't agree with me, you can't say anything more."

The two of them parted unhappily!

But soon, Shi Dakai will become obedient.

The 10,000 troops in Su Ye's hands will teach him a lesson, and the political whip from Tianjing will also teach him a lesson.

If Su Ye wants to do big things, no one can stop him.

Those who stand in my way will die!

…………………………………………

A few hours later!

Su Ye appeared in Suzhou City.

This is now one of the most prosperous cities in the entire Qing Dynasty.

He Guiqing, the governor of Liangjiang, fled here and assembled tens of thousands of troops to defend the city.

However, he had no intention of supporting Wuxi.

He Guiqing, the governor of Liangjiang, and Xu Youren, the governor of Jiangsu, were also in Suzhou.

Not long ago, Zhao Dezhe was the governor of Jiangsu, but now Xu Youren has been replaced.

To a certain extent, this Xu Youren is much better than Zhao Dezhe.

He Guiqing asked Jiangnan Admiral Zhang Guoliang to take charge in Wuxi while he recruited troops in Suzhou.

The governor and governor are both in Suzhou City.

It can be seen that Suzhou is important.

Once Suzhou fell, it would mean the fall of Jiangsu, and it would mean that the door to Shanghai and Zhejiang would be opened.

At this time, He Guiqing, the governor of Liangjiang, was still like an ant on a hot pot.

He didn't know if Wuxi could hold it, and he didn't know if Suzhou could hold it.

At this time, he even just wanted to escape to the Shanghai Concession and hide. Only there was safe.

Suddenly, a person came in and said: "Sir, an old friend is visiting secretly!"

He Guiqing was stunned?

Old friend?

…………………………………………

A moment later, in the study room!

When He Guiqing met Su Yi, his face looked a little unnatural.

The two of them had a deep holiday together.

"Master He, we had enmity and disputes before." Su Yi said calmly: "But I can forget everything."

"Now, only I can save you."

He Guiqing said: "Then there is brother Lao Suyi."

"I heard that brother Su Yi was dismissed from his official position by the imperial court. Don't worry, after this battle, I will definitely report to the imperial court and reinstate my official position."

Confront this person.

It is completely useless to talk about declaring righteousness and national interests.

Su Yi said slowly: "Although the rebel army has not yet reached Suzhou, as long as Wuxi is lost, Suzhou will be in danger. Once Suzhou is lost, the court will definitely not let Master He go."

"At that time, Governor He will not only lose his official position, but even his life."

He Guiqing's face turned cold and he said, "Master Su Yi, are you here to laugh at me?"

Su Yi said: "No, I'm here to save you."

"I can defeat the rebellion, save Suzhou, and save Governor He."

He Guiqing asked: "What are the conditions?"

Su Yi said: "I just need you to sign this thing."

Su Yi handed over a contract.

Southern Economic Cooperation!

He Guiqing, the governor of Liangjiang, was horrified when he saw it.

This... this is a very authoritative contract.

The first person to bear the brunt was the seal stamped by Shen Baozhen, the acting governor of Jiangxi.

Next, the seal of Jiujiang Economic Pilot Zone is stamped.

The content of the treaty is extremely dazzling.

Because of his opposition to the "Tianjin Treaty" signed by the imperial court and foreigners, the provinces lost relevant economic power.

Therefore, the southern provinces help and protect each other.

Once you join the Southern Economic Cooperation, you will join the market of Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone.

It is tantamount to not recognizing the policies stipulated in the "Tianjin Treaty".

It means implementing independent economic policies, tax systems, etc.

He Guiqing was stunned after reading the contents.

The first reaction in his mind was that Su Yi was going to rebel!

He had no idea that Su Yi would be so bold.

Crazy, this man is completely crazy.

Not only was he going crazy himself, but he was also dragging He Guiqing into going crazy with him.

This is a new order.

To a great extent, this was in opposition to the imperial court.

Su Yi said: "Don't worry, Governor He. This is a secret agreement and no one will know about it."

"As long as Governor He signs this secret agreement, I will immediately send troops to rescue him, eliminate the rebellion, and resolve the crisis in Wuxi. Suzhou will no longer be in danger, and Lord He will be able to keep his position as Governor of Liangjiang!"

He Guiqing, the governor of Liangjiang, pondered for a long time.

"I need a day to think." He Guiqing said.

Su Yi said: "Okay, I'll come back to see the Governor tomorrow."

"However, the military situation is like a raging fire. One day's delay may cost the lives of countless soldiers!"

Then he walked out.

When he walked to the door, Su Yi suddenly said: "Master He, this opportunity cannot be missed. Time will never come again. This is the only chance."

After Su Yi left.

He Guiqing quickly picked up the pen and paper and wrote down the contents of Su Yi's "Secret Agreement of the Seven Southern Provinces" just now.

Then, he went to Jiangsu Governor Xu Youren and said: "Suzhou's military affairs will be left to you for the time being. I have big things to do, big things!"

Xu Youren was furious inside.

Governor, do you want to run away again?

I ran from Changzhou to Wuxi, and from Wuxi to Suzhou.

Now, you want to run away again?

Where are you going to escape this time? Going to Shanghai?

He Guiqing ignored him and rushed out of the Suzhou city gate with hundreds of cavalry.

Rushing towards Shanghai.

He was overjoyed.

Su Yi, you are really asking for your own death.

I was worried that I couldn't find a chance to escape, and I was worried that I couldn't find a reason to leave Suzhou to avoid catastrophe.

As a result, you actually delivered the reason to me.

If I send this secret agreement to the capital, you will be completely finished.

In this way, my official position was also saved.

I, He Guiqing, did not abandon the city and flee, but learned of a huge conspiracy.

I want to report to the court and the emperor. I am doing it for the country and the country!

………………………………

And this time!

Somewhere high in a dense forest.

Su Yi just watched He Guiqing, the governor of Liangjiang, rush out of Suzhou City.

Hong Renli next to him said: "He wants to run away, he wants to go to the capital to inform."

Su Yi nodded and said: "Some people just can't understand human speech. I've already told you that this is your last chance, but he just doesn't cherish it!"

"But it just so happens that the head of He Guiqing, the governor of Liangjiang, is just the right weight!"

"It can express my will!"

"Let's do it!"

With Su Ye's order!

Thirty miles outside Suzhou City!

Thousands of elite soldiers, all dressed in Taiping Army costumes.

"Attack!"

"Kill the snake!"

From all directions, silently, they surrounded the cavalry of He Guiqing, the governor of Liangjiang!

To do big things, you can't do without bloodshed.

Bleeding now is to bleed less in the future.

Those who stand in my way! Die!

Note: I was tortured by insomnia and dared not drink coffee to refresh myself, so I wrote this chapter for five hours. I'm really sorry.

I will try to update before eleven o'clock in the evening. As for the monthly ticket, I really ask everyone, please give me a little strength, okay?
