You should know that the Qing Dynasty had lacked money in wars over the years, and British banks loved to make money in wars. All loans involving arms were orders that major banks were rushing to ask for!

Fighting Changmao, pacifying the Nian Army, suppressing Ganzhou and now fighting Agubo's nest... With so many wars, the amount of arms needed is also huge!

All the imported arms were not said to buy them from the treasury, and the imperial court itself was not enough!

Only loans are available. You can borrow from foreigners and then buy foreign guns and cannons to arm yourself. You don’t have to worry about paying back the debt in the end. You can slowly rely on customs income!

The only bad thing is that the loan requires interest, and the interest rate is relatively high, but the Japanese and the others don’t care, because no matter whether the money is too much or too little, it will be borne by the people in the end!

Xishanying is the top of the Japanese Sixth. He has never trained the new army before and does not know the depth of the water, but once he gets started, he knows that the new army is really a gold-swalking beast.

In the era of cold weapons, training in soldiers actually doesn’t cost much money. Just give the soldiers a full meal, and just take out swords, guns, swords and halberds to practice!

But in the times, elites have to be fed with bullets! Sixty thousand elites in Xishan, each person consumes ten bullets at a time, which is six hundred thousand!

Now it is the time when the fixed-loading bullets are just released, and the price is extremely expensive. This time, the cost of the target shooting bullet will cost 40,000 taels of silver!

Xishan Camp trains soldiers every month, and it is not enough to make a lot of money for raising soldiers without 800,000 yuan!

But you dare not stop because you will retreat if you don’t advance against the current. Not to mention the great powers, let alone the Chinese, Zaichun can even pull out 30,000 soldiers!

If you don’t practice military affairs, others will practice! Who dares to feel sorry for money at the critical moment of life and death? And the money is not blown by the strong wind, what should I do? I can only go to foreigners’ bank loans!

Borrowing money and using customs income to repay it, this became the Japanese Sixth borrowing the customs income to support his own soldiers!

Foreigners are also willing to play this game. On the one hand, the loan has interest, and this kind of loan has high interest! On the other hand, there is no need to worry about repayment!

With the support of a powerful British army, there is no government in the world who dares to rely on the debt, and it is even more like the Qing Dynasty customs control it in Hurd's hands. Isn't this money going to be paid back into the left pocket?

Banks made money, and British arms dealers were also happy. They defended the Qing government as a big customer and funder, and their transactions were as high as ten other countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America!

Not only banks and arms dealers are happy, but also shipping industry is happy. After all, these things require cargo ships to transport to Qing Dynasty!

All aspects are happy to make money, so Yi and the others have never rejected the loan request, and it is impossible to reject it. With the government and the state as credit endorsement, the collateral level of this loan is too high!

The loan that has never been rejected has made an exception today. Standard Chartered Bank told Zai Cheng with great regret that the loan review was not passed, and the bank suspected that your repayment ability was possible, so it could only be rejected!

"Fuck you! Doubt your repayment ability? Where is the Qing Dynasty Customs? Is he blind? Still doubting me? This is revenge, this is revenge!"

Yi completely broke out, and the enemy's third wave of counterattack came even more fiercely!

The first wave was the complaints of those businessmen, which was just to lay the foundation for the killer moves behind, and the second wave was the betrayal of all overseas business partners!

Don’t you, the rich man of Qing, want to make a fortune? I’m so embarrassed, I won’t take you to play!

This trick is too shady. Now the opportunity to make a lot of money in this world is in overseas trade. With the infiltration of foreigners and the rise of Chinese people, more Qing Dynasty nobles have seen this golden mountain in the horizon of overseas!

How can I let go of the fat on my lips? It is no exaggeration to say that one-third of the family income of these nobles in the capital depends on foreign trade. No one is willing to throw away this piece of fat from foreign devils or Xiao Letian, the second devil!

Yesterday's counterattack directly hit the weakness of the Qing Dynasty nobles. Taking money was like killing their parents, and the nobles in the capital were crazy!

I thought this counterattack would end, but I didn’t expect there would be a third wave!

The foreigners' banks also came to make trouble! They actually stopped the loan, and the damn rich people refused to make money. All the loans from Xishanying were rejected!

What should I do? What should I do? The Japanese Liu wandered around in the study like an ant on a hot pan!

Do you want me to stop training? The more than 60,000 soldiers are eating dry food every day to raise fat? If that happens, the army that is very easy to train will have to be trashed in less than half a year!

But where do you get the money when continuing to train? Where can you get the money from guns and shells?

The treasury can no longer squeeze out the oil. Although Zaichun did not take power when he returned to China, the power of the two empress dowagers increased sharply. In addition, the previous rebellion between the two sides, it would be impossible for him to get the money so smoothly!

They will definitely drag their feet!

Money! Money! Money... Yi's mind is full of money!

"What a cruel method! How come this little brat Zaichun is popular? Why are so many people helping him? There must be organizers, except for Xiao Letian, the British government, otherwise no one will have such great ability and even the bank can influence it!"

Today, the Japanese Sixth Guardian was not as calm as he had been a few days ago. The three waves of counterattacks completely disrupted his position. What’s even more terrible is that he still doesn’t dare to confirm the true identity of the mastermind behind the scenes!

Everything is speculation, all is blind guessing!

"Prepare a sedan chair for me... no... don't carry a big sedan chair for me, prepare an ordinary sedan chair for me that is two people!"

"Go to Nancheng, I want to visit Mr. Zeng..."

The Japanese Guardian sighed helplessly, "He and Xiao Letian must have a secret communication channel... I... I have to find a way to hand it over!"

Prince Gong made the right choice, and he finally admitted that the situation had been out of control and could not be reversed with his own strength!

Where can I bow my head and admit defeat? It’s impossible. There is a fundamental contradiction between them, and it is an absolute difference in concepts!

Go and find the Queen Mother? Those two old ladies are gritting their teeth now!

The only one who can give him advice is the enemy Zeng Guofan. The biggest warlord leader of the Han people is a smart man. He should know the principle of balance, and he belongs to the category that can be reasoned!

A sedan chair swayed from the North City to the South City. It took half an hour to walk along the way. When it arrived at Nanheng Street, it was already lunch time!

Mr. Zeng’s house is rented, and it is not large in size and is only popular. The only difference is that there are two soldiers holding guns standing guard at the door!

When Yi got off the sedan chair and walked to the door, he found that the old farmer who was close to Zeng Guofan was already standing here, as if he had been waiting.

After saluting the prince, the old farmer said, "The Grand Marshal guessed that the prince should have come yesterday, but he didn't expect it to be half a day late... Please, the Grand Marshal has prepared the wine and food, the prince invites you!"
