In the late Qing Dynasty, the income gap between different classes was very different.

The monthly income of the low-level social workers such as the coachman and the restaurant shop is only two or two dollars a month. The average soldier in the Qing Army usually spends four or two dollars a month, while the middle and senior military officers such as the green camp management belt and the government belt have a monthly income of more than one hundred and two. As for the senior generals such as command belt, generals and vice generals, the income is higher.

According to the price estimates in the late Qing Dynasty, one or two silvers can buy 110 kilograms of rice. The income of two or two silvers has just been able to meet the living needs of the people at the bottom of the society for a month. And those Manchu officials and businessmen who are in the ruling class, Every time I use the power I have, I get hundreds, thousands, and thousands of times more income than the people at the bottom.

While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone. A large number of Manchu officials became parasites on the empire's body. In order to maintain their rule, they may make small changes to the government structure under internal and external pressure, but they will not give up willingly. For the rule of the country, transfer the power in your hands to other classes or forces.

After the Yangtze River pushes forward, after the newly-emerged forces become vested interests, they will also maintain their own interests in various ways and under various pretexts. As an important class in the division of labor, businessmen are born to chase benefits. In the face of hugely profitable business opportunities, business people can easily overwhelm all their net worth and use it to win ten or dozens of times of benefits.

Unlike ordinary people's impressions, from the time when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom uprising failed to the period before the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, the continent under Manchu rule was the largest industrial country in the Far East, and its industrial scale far exceeded that of Japan, which lacked resources.

Among the several heavy industry industries that the Manchurian government focused on, Jiangnan Shipyard's shipbuilding technology is perfect, and shipbuilders responsible for various parts of shipbuilding generally have skilled technology. In the original history, the British businessman Kirby saw that Jiangnan Shipyard's shutdown was demonstrated. Great benefits, using various means to excavate more than 30 core technical shipmen from the Jiangnan shipyard, and then using the shipbuilding technology mastered by more than 30 shipbuilders, quickly produced two steamships "Taihu Maru," which has the largest displacement in Japan. "One or two, one of the two steam ships uses a British-made steam engine, and the other directly uses an engine made by a Chinese shipbuilder."

The technology brought by more than 30 Chinese shipbuilders laid a solid foundation for Kobe Shipyard under Kirby's name. Later, the Japanese government formulated more stringent policies against foreign capital. Kirby's investment in other industries has repeatedly been subject to the Japanese mainland. The businessman's chaebol was blocked, and finally he owed a large loan, committing suicide without help, and shortly after Kirby died, all industries under his name, including the Kobe shipyard, were nationalized by the Japanese government.

After the industries under Kirby's name were nationalized, military shipyards such as Nagoya Shipyard and Yokohama Shipyard in Japan have mastered the steam engine technology of Kobe Shipyard by sending apprentices to learn, and in just a few years, Raised the level of Japan's shipbuilding industry to a new level.

In the original history of Kirby, he took pains to build the Kobe shipyard, but finally made wedding clothes for others, which improved the level of the Japanese military shipyard. Now the squinting fat falls into the hands of the National Defense Forces. Encouraged by the Japanese shareholders of the Kobe Shipyard, they chose to cooperate with the pirates and the Dutch to recapture more than 200 Jiangnan shipyard workers.

Time flies quickly during the busy period. It has been more than ten days since Kirby arrived in Nanyang, and less than three days are left before the scheduled launch time.

"Mr. Kirby, the Kuala Lumpur Kapitan Ye Yalai sent a letter saying that there was an armed Chinese battle in Selangor. He is leading his subordinates to assist the Sultan Selangor to settle an armed dispute between the two Chinese groups. For the time being, they are unable to participate in the attack on the Defense Forces fleet.

Kirby was receiving more than a dozen Chinese Bipitans in the room. At this time, a foreigner came in to report.

"A dozen days ago, all the Jia Bidans had discussed it properly, and now Ye Yalai suddenly regretted what he meant!"

Kirby, the foreign devil, hasn't spoken yet. Jakarta Kapitan Huang Fuyuan was dissatisfied first.

"People sent by Ye Yalai explained that it was Huang Ping, the leader of the Taiping Club Selangor branch, that the Taiping Club wanted to seize the shares of Furong Jiabidan Zhang Chang in the Klang Valley tin mine and the Klang Valley tin mine. Ye Yalai also has a share, so he will personally lead his hands to negotiate with Huang Ping. "

"There is only five or six hundred people in one branch of the Taiping Society. Hibiscus Jia Bidan's subordinates have thousands of people, but can they not balance the other five hundred or six hundred people?"

Huang Fuyuan questioned.

"Brother Fu Yuan, there were five or six hundred people in a branch of the Taiping Society last year. At the beginning of this year, the number of formal congregations of the Taiping Society doubled. Seremban must be beaten, but the Taiping Club Selangor branch is normal. "

The Malay Peninsula is rich in tin ore resources. The Chinese gangs and the Taiping Society have a lot of local forces, and the Perak state, which is bordered by the National Defense Forces Kelantan, has a better understanding of the Taiping Society than others, so Introduced to other Chinese Jia Bidan, "The organization structure of the Taiping Society is divided into seven levels: the outer congregation, the formal congregation, the 100 presidents, the thousand presidents, the church master, the helm master, and the commander. The outer congregation and the formal congregation are the grassroots members of the Taiping Club. The presidents, chiefs, chiefs, helmsmen, and commanders are the backbone and core leadership of the Peace Society.

Beginning in February of this year, after the organization structure of the Taiping Society changed, one hundred general governs 30 to 40 formal congregations, one thousand general governs two to three hundred or two hundred formal congregations, and the church owner has four to six thousand total congregations. The number of people is about 1,200. The helm of the helm governs the official congregation of seven to eight thousand people, while the leader is the steward of the Taiping Society, responsible for hundreds of thousands of Nanyang congregations. "

"You have been listening to Jia Bidan from the Malay Peninsula saying that Taiping will be powerful, so Brother Zheng knows who Taiping is leading?"

Asked a Chinese man, Jia Bidan.

"Bukit Jia Bidan is highly regarded. The Taiping Society is well-organized. Not to mention the Taiping Society's leadership. Even the sub-rudder masters under his leadership know very few people."

"The main son behind the Taiping Association is the Han Kingdom. They are cautious in their actions and it is difficult for outsiders to detect their news."

Another Kapitan agrees.

In the Nanyang region, the Chinese Jiabidan had contacted the Taiping Society for seven or eight years. According to their conscious undercover investigations and the information provided by the Dutch, the Chinese Jiabidan roughly estimated how many Chinese old and young people the Taiping Club controlled. 100,000 people, but as to how many hundreds of thousands of people are, let alone them, inside the Peace Society, except for the Peace Society commanding Liang Xing and a few high-level, even the sub-rudder master below does not know.

The main level of the sub-rudder is the core leadership of the Peace Society. In the entire Nanyang region, the Peace Society set up a total of seven sub-rudders, namely the Malay Peninsula sub-rudder, Borneo sub-rudder, Sumatra sub-rudder, and Java sub-rudder. , Thailand sub-rudder, Vietnam sub-rudder, Philippines sub-rudder.

With seven sub-rudders and the staff directly under the headquarters, the Taiping Association has a formal congregation of 60,000 and more than 200,000 peripheral members.

The peripheral congregation plus the strength of the formal congregation totaled more than 300,000. Even though the Taiping Society acted low-key and cautiously, it was still discovered by the Dutch colonialists and the Chinese capitans, and after seeing the huge strength of the Taiping Society, it naturally developed fear. Finally, choose the way to hold the group to resist the pressure that Taiping will give.

Power is a man's aphrodisiac. Jiabidan, a Chinese in the Nanyang region, is a lower-level Chinese in the South Ocean. They take the Jiabidan seat by competing with Chinese ethnic forces in the same ethnic group. Taiping, I'm afraid it's harder than killing them.

Kirby, the Chinese Capitans and the Dutch colonists behind them came together because of their own interests. After more than ten days of tandem and preparation, Kirby has gathered more than 6,000 armed forces, more than 70 in size Ships, and five Dutch gunboats.

Armed personnel and weapon ships to attack the transport fleet were prepared. According to the agreement, the 400 armed forces provided by Ye Yalai had or did not affect the success of the operation. In consideration of uniting other Chinese Jiabidan, Kirby gave a final word and agreed with Ye Yalai to withdraw from the operation midway, and then after the operation was successful, Ye Yalai deserved the share of the other Chinese Jiabidan.

Through some arrangements, Kirby timely resolved the adverse impact of Ye Yalai's midway exit on the operation. At the same time, Ye Yalai led seven or eight hundred men to 60 kilometers away from the Klang Valley mine. Stopped.

"Father, why did the team stop?"

Ye Yalai's eldest son, Ye Shengping, approached his father from the front of the team and asked.

"Nothing happened in the Klang Valley tin mine, and he led seven or eight hundred people out for his father. He did not want to participate in the attack on the Han fleet."

Ye Yalai sat under a big tree far away from the team and explained, "If the plan goes well, there will be 70% to 80% success in attacking the Han transport fleet. After the successful operation, we can get a lot of benefits, but a few days ago I I heard from Selangor that the British took over the administration of Kuala Lumpur and that after two or three years, the capital of the Straits Colony would be moved to Kuala Lumpur.

Sheng Ping, do you know what it means for the British to do this? "

"Father, Kuala Lumpur is the hard work of your life. Where were the British when you worked hard to develop Kuala Lumpur 20 years ago, why did they steal our Ye family's territory? Father, Kuala Lumpur is the root of Ye family. Without Kuala Lumpur, Ye Home is nothing, you must not agree to the British request! "

Kuala Lumpur has developed from a desolate tin mine to a prosperous city. The hard work and hard work of the early Chinese people are indispensable. Ye Yalai has been the Kuala Lumpur Kapitan for more than 10 years. He is the real power in Kuala Lumpur. Taking Kuala Lumpur as its own private property, it was very angry to hear that the British wanted to take back Ye Ya's power to govern Kuala Lumpur.

"The British have strength all over the world, and our Ye family is not as good as an ant in their eyes, where they are qualified to resist them."

Ye Yalai's heart was also filled with anger, and he forcibly suppressed, "Kuala Lumpur was developed by my own hands, and I can't watch it fall into the hands of the British in any case.

Shengping ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ In the Nanyang region, apart from the British and Dutch, Han has the strongest power, so we must not offend the Han country before the British have officially intervened in Kuala Lumpur affairs, otherwise Years later, the Ye family had no possibility of turning around at all.

Sheng Ping, you might understand these words! "

Ye Yalai stared at his son's eyes.

"My son understands that Kuala Lumpur is the root of the Ye family. Compared with Kuala Lumpur, nothing else matters."

"Sheng Ping, remember what you said today, you must not let Kuala Lumpur be lost from our father and son!"

"My son will never dare forget!"

"Well, order the team to rest in place and return to Kuala Lumpur in five days."

"Yes, father!"

Ye Shengping replied firmly, and hesitated to walk towards the team without hesitation.
