If you don’t be a leader, you don’t know how expensive it is! Zaichun truly experienced it today!

From the moment Emperor Tongzhi's new army was formed, it was completely unwelcome to the Qing court, because it was completely the army of Emperor Tongzhi, and many forces in the court could not mix sand!

From the beginning when Manshun and Jiang Lie went to Beijing to issue an order to reorganize the 300 relatives, they encountered great resistance!

At that time, all the forces of the Eight Banners tampered with the emperor's will. They clearly wanted the third son who was born in the Three Treasures, but the one who sent it was Duobao, the boss of the family.

What I obviously want is the unpopular little playboy who was born to my little wife, but the big families forced them to squeeze into the bosses who were incompetent in the family!

This is all political investment. Those smart people in Sijiu City think that the emperor's personal army is just accompanying the emperor to play, standing guard, and urging, and it's not their turn to fight in war!

If it was the Emperor's Imperial Guard's turn to fight for bayonets in person, the Qing Dynasty would be about to perish!

It is precisely because of all kinds of insignificant little thoughts, and the bullying Emperor Tongzhi's young, that the major families desperately mixed sand and even slogans that this is an expression of loyalty.

'Long live your life, you want my third brother? No, that guy can't even pull the inferior bow. You should want my eldest brother. Look at this body of fat!'

'Is this a sign of loyalty? Long live to be young and don't know who has talent to dare. I am wrong to give the best talent in the family?'

For a moment, a series of family tragedies and comedy were staged in Sijiu City, and all the unpopular children and nephews were locked up, or they simply gave you a sum of money to go to the Eight Great Hutongs to spend time and drink!

Anyway, you can't stop the favored children at home from getting promoted and making money!

When Manshun and Jiang Lie saw that this was amazing. They scolded the Eight Banners every day, but today they saw that they were too bastards, right? Do you dare to implement the imperial edict at a discount?

This led to the later conflict between the capital robbing people and surrounding the Zongli Yamen! But no matter what, the three hundred guards named by the emperor were all taken out.

But it also offended countless families in the court!

Since the Qianlong Dynasty, the famous Jiadao falls! Jiaqing and Emperor Daoguang can barely maintain the monarchy's power system, but from the outbreak of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom War to the Second Opium War, the centralization of the Qing emperor was considered to be broken.

Even if you are the emperor, you have to discuss anything! In the court, the Han governor, the Qingliu Confucian scholar, the Red Prince of the Eight Banners, the Empress Dowager Party, the Reformers, etc.... everyone has their own ideas.

Emperor Tongzhi wanted to establish a military organization that belonged only to him. How could this be possible? If you don’t let these forces mix sand in it, their first reaction was to... cut off your financial path!

The court will not give you money! The Ministry of Revenue will not approve you funds, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will not have any money... Do you want to spend money on your own? Go and ask your biological mother for private money!

But no matter how rich Cixi is, she is not enough to support a modern army!

Ci'an does have some private money in his hands, but he still has to support Fu Qing. The Westernization Movement organized by Master Qing San is also a monster to swallow gold!

The Ministry of Revenue in the Qing Dynasty is now poor rats who are wiping their tears and fleeing, and even the officials' pay is in owed!

The customs on Hudd's side are rich, but Hudd's direct superior or cooperative unit is the Zongli Yamen! That is the territory of the Japanese Sixth. Prince Gong has to train his own army if he has money!

Even if you are the master of long live! You have to be reasonable, right? Zuo Zongtang raised the military expenses for Xinjiang by himself. The court's general attack gave 2 million taels. Your 30,000 troops would need a million in funds. Isn't this appropriate?

The Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Zongli Yamen and the governors of various provinces all received the grant statement from Shen Baozhen. They thought these places would give the emperor some face, but they were very disappointed!

"Long lively! I'll just say it clearly..." Shen Baozhen knocked on the ground with one head. "The military expenses of the new imperial army, General Zuo distributed one million from the military expenses of pacifying Xinjiang..."

"Hu Xueyan from Jiangnan has prepared three million yuan, and half of it is the intention of Marshal Zeng, and the Hunan Army serves one million yuan..."

"The two empress dowagers have 200,000 taels per person, and the rest has been dismantled from the ticket number and the bank... By the way, there are 180,000 sent by Fu Qing, the assistant minister of the Zongli Yamen..."

"It's just that, Long Live, this is less than five million military spending, supporting the new imperial army of 30,000 people... This is my limit. I can't ask Long Live to punish me!"

"Long live the punishment!" Everyone kowtowed and apologized.

Emperor Tongzhi kept dizzy and muttering, "Why is this so much? Why is it so much money? Why didn't you tell me before? Why..."

"Long live! Those turtle bastards in the court not only don't pay money but also talk nonsense..." Ma Ming was born as a playboy in the Sijiu City, but he would not give anyone face.

"They said that the imperial court has too much, but we didn't say the precedent of training 30,000 soldiers for 5 million or 20,000 soldiers? That much money is enough to train 100,000, so you can save some money..."

"The most disgusting thing is that the bastards of the Ministry of War did not pay money but gave a stack of approval documents... Let us go to the arsenals of various provinces to coordinate bows, spears, armor, cowhide, etc...."

"That's what these things can also be worthy of military expenses... My sister is here to raise us as beggars! New Army, we are new Army, what we want is cannons and foreign guns, countless bullets..."

Zaichun finally understood that those bastards in the court did not do anything on the one hand because they did not make money, but on the other hand, they did not understand what the new army was.

In their traditional thinking, how much money can the army spend? Isn’t it just that recruits soldiers, big swords, spears and other materials are distributed, and the new army can at most have more foreign guns.

When you fight, do you work hard, just have food to eat on weekdays?

When the army of 30,000 people was formed, it cost more than three million taels, and when the army was raised, it was enough to have 100,000 or 80,000 yuan in grain and vegetables a month.

They didn't understand what it means to fire a cannon, and they didn't understand that the more powerful the new army, the more they had to practice!

When you want to achieve combat effectiveness in war, shells and bullets have to be consumed on weekdays like those who don’t spend money... They don’t understand these, nor do they want to understand them!

Zai Chun was furious at that time, "Where is the Chinese? How much did the head of state give..." He was stunned as soon as he said that.

What's wrong with me? Why did I say this in front of everyone? I, I... am I confused?

No one dares to take on this sentence, because everyone knows that Xiao Letian is just an imperial teacher. There is no problem raising you, Emperor Tongzhi, and there is no obligation to support the army.

At the beginning, Xiao Letian just promised to help you raise the 300 officers regiment of Zaichun. This is no problem to help you raise and train.

But after returning to China, people can't control what's going on!

Zaichun sighed and felt a sense of sorrow in his heart. He himself knew that he had developed a very strong dependence mentality around his master in recent years.

Moreover, those who see the head of state are all big and unlimited causes, and those who use arm wrestle with the European powers are all worth tens of millions of dollars!

But he forgot that Xiao Letian could easily mobilize tens of millions of financial transactions in his hands. That was the ability of the head of state, not the ability of you Zaichun!

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Zai Chun smiled bitterly and said, "I heard that I still owe the soldiers' military pay? How much do I owe in total?"
