"Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, in the days when they are full and full of two people, people can't feel what is called a nation and what a country is. If you don't let them see with their own eyes how sharp the butcher's knife of a different race is, and if you don't let them experience the warmth of the same culture, the same race and the same race, you won't understand what a nation and a country ...... are."

The South China Sea, blue like a pure gem, may be God is welcoming Xiao Letian's return, since the Lion City into the South China Sea, the weather is simply outrageous.

Needless to say, when Xiao Letian was speaking to the officer corps, countless dolphins actually sprang out from both sides of the merchant ship, including even a very rare white dolphin.

"Auspicious... The sailors on the ship were suddenly excited, and they all lay on the side of the ship to look, and some even fed them with fresh fish.

Xiao Lotian left the Lion City this time and did not make a European ship again, and the Chinese businessmen in the Lion City carefully selected a new clipper ship and made a special trip to send Xiao Letian, and the Chinese businessmen also said that this ship arrived in Naha, even if it was the property of Lotte Foreign Company, it was a gift from the Chinese businessmen in Nanyang to the old shopkeeper.

Xiao Lotian understood as soon as he heard it, this was a Nanyang Chinese businessman handing an olive branch to Lotte Bank, and the signal was obvious, that is, he was going to serve Lotte Yangxing.

Since people are sincere, Xiao Lotian will not pretend to be a big head of garlic, and take his brother to board the merchant ship with a big grin, and it is not only such a merchant ship that passes with him.

Under the guidance of the United States and Prussia, two small cargo ships, one on the left and the other on the right, and Xiao Lotian went north in parallel, one of which was a Dutch merchant ship hired by Prussia, and the other was an American merchant ship, two inconspicuous cargo ships but representing two new capitalist powers.

Xiao Lotian did not brag to the governor, he said that the silver was to be transported by Prussian and American ships, and in the end, although it was not a warship, but these two cargo ships could also represent two countries.

Two million taels of silver, half of a ship followed Xiao Lotian to the north, and now the new officers and soldiers can't forget the eyes of the British people at the dock when they left. This era has always been the colonies sending precious metals to Europe, and this is the first time that they have moved back from the territory of Europeans.

Even Luo Huo was a little worried, "Prime Minister, do you think the British will be distressed and send warships to intercept us halfway? So much money has been swept away from their land, they must not be crazy?"

With a crisp snap, Xiao Letian smiled and gave him a brain meltdown, "I don't know anything, do you think the British Empire's temperament pattern is like this? Damn, now even the control of the Qing Customs is in the hands of the British, and just eating the preferential tariffs, they have to make tens of millions ......of taels a year."

"What is the empire on which the sun never sets? The wealth they have accumulated over hundreds of years is not at all something you can imagine, didn't I tell you before, Spain and Portugal, the two earliest star countries of the Age of Discovery, made more than half of their gold and silver ...... the British."

"The little wealth we got away in South Asia, in addition to affecting the governor's political performance, has a fundamental impact on the national strength of the British Empire, what London wants, I know very well, and they also know that only I can complete this difficult task in East Asia, so it is only natural to give me some money to spend in advance......"

Xiao Letian's analysis was not wrong, not only did the British not dare to secretly hunt down Xiao Letian, they even sent two colonial frigates to escort him all the way.

Because just as Xiao Lotian was about to leave for Naha, the intelligence network of the British in the Lion City suddenly received an urgent telegram from the Indian colony, and it was actually a French jiàn.

In a hurry, Napoleon III's order to withdraw his troops finally caught up with Xiao Letian, and the French finally gave in.

Carnival, grand carnival... The Lion City suddenly became a city that never sleeps, and all the Chinese took to the streets to shout wildly, venting the depression that had been suppressed in their hearts for hundreds of years.

"The French threw in the towel... The French Emperor gave the order to withdraw his troops...... There was no reparation, no land cession, and the French coaxed it...... Fuck it, coward..."

The second military power in the world finally bowed its noble head and withdrew its troops unconditionally. Napoleon III is really helpless, Prussia and the United States clearly support Xiao Letian, Britain is secretly increasing its power in the Indian subcontinent and North Africa, if there is no conspiracy, there will be ghosts.

Italy was an ally of Austria in the Battle of Austria, and his position can be seen from the fact that they escorted Xiao Letian, and the most terrible thing is that even Austria, which was beaten all over the ground and looking for teeth, actually said good things to Xiao Letian.

At that moment, Napoleon III suddenly felt very cold and cold, not to mention that France was located in the heart of Europe, but he felt unusually lonely.

Who else can be trusted? Russians? That's impossible, the Tsars committed suicide by poisoning in the Crimean War, and it's too late for them to hate themselves.

Thinking about it, Napoleon III only bowed his head, and now the strength of the countries that are good with him is not enough, and the countries that are good with Xiao Lotian are all new and old powers, and if this situation does not admit defeat, it will definitely be a brain in the water.

However, in 1866, the world's telegraph network was not yet connected, and the transmission of information was intermittent, and the broken nodes needed manpower to transmit messages.

Maybe there was something wrong in the middle, maybe someone deliberately delayed the speed of the order, anyway, this French Emperor's military order was not caught up until Xiao Letian entered the Lion City.

It is precisely because of the slowness that the people of the Lion City have another grand celebration, and it is precisely because of the timing that Xiao Letian's reputation in Nanyang is in full swing.

How can the Chinese not be crazy, at this time, France with the prestige of defeating Russia, has been known as the world's second military power, six years ago the British and French coalition broke through the city of Beijing The scene has not forgotten, and today in front of Xiao Letian unconditionally withdrawd?

Although it was not an unconditional surrender, it was already a complete fiasco if the European army was able to withdraw unconditionally from Asia at that time.

The whole Lion City was full of drinking and revelry, the whole city was completely sold out, and the thick smell of gunpowder filled the whole city, and the whole city was shrouded in a faint smoke and fire from a distance.

The dragon and lion dance procession has been noisy from evening to midnight, and tirelessly wants to make trouble until dawn, and the sound of gongs and drums is earth-shattering, and no one in the city can sleep.

In the face of the madness of the Chinese, all the foreigners and natives were silent, even if they couldn't sleep all night, but no one dared to accuse, even the governor's army did their duty to maintain order, although there was a smirk on their faces, but after all, it was a rare smile in the colonies.

The governor was already desperate, he understood that if Xiao Letian stayed any longer, his ruling foundation would be loosened more and more, and it would be better for this plague god to be sent away.

Because of this, the governor sent two colonial frigates to protect Xiao Lotian to the north, and he was also afraid that the red-eyed Molière would go crazy, so this withdrawal order had to be conveyed by the British navy.

In this way, a clipper ship belonging to a Chinese merchant of the Southern Voyage and two foreigners, under the protection of the British Royal Navy, went all the way north, and the destination went straight to the Ryukyus.

"Nanyang... Nanyang ...... Next time I Xiao Lotian comes back, I will definitely come back with our own ironclad ship...... Rest assured, your money will not be wasted, and there must be a main battleship named the Lion City in our Chinese fleet...... This is my promise to Xiao Lotian..."

The moment the boat left the pier, tens of thousands of people on the pier fell to their knees like waves, the crowd was dotted with incense, and people even worshipped Xiao Letian as a god.

A French withdrawal order allowed Lotte to exchange an extra 500,000 taels of silver overnight, and at this time the foreign bank had stored more than 3 million taels of silver. Originally, everyone thought that the two cargo ships should be able to be transported back this time, but Xiao Letian knew how strong the storm in the South China Sea was in the summer, and he didn't dare to take risks.

", can you put all your eggs in one basket? What if there are storms and pirates on the way? It must be transported in batches, and it must be transported by armed Prussian and American merchant ships, I dare not take this risk......"

But then the beautiful scenery shown to Xiao Letian in the South China Sea made him completely regret it, such a good weather in the sea and sky, he was really wasted, watching the auspicious white dolphins come to see him off, so that Xiao Letian, a newcomer who has received materialist education since childhood, is also somewhat suspicious.

"Ah, could it be that I am really a hidden dragon? Is what Zeng Dashuai said true......" Before Xiao Letian could finish his thoughts, he saw the white dolphin on the sea suddenly jumped more than two meters high and then slammed into the sea.

The stirring splash went straight to Xiao Letian, and he was caught off guard and hit him with a soup chicken.

"Hahaha......" There was laughter behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw that Hu Niu, Ping'er, and Ah Ugly had already bent over with laughter, and even the soldiers on the deck laughed, especially Luo Huoxiao's front and back together.

Xiao Lotian scratched his nose and laughed himself, he leaned over and whispered to the dolphin, "Okay, can't I admit it?" I don't know what kind of hidden dragon I am, and how much career I can have in the future?"

"Squeak ......" The sharp cries of white dolphins came from the sea, and they shook their heads in a very stinky way and ignored Xiao Letian, as if they were speechless for an idiot like him.

"Your ......" Xiao Lotian pointed at it with a middle finger, the white dolphin was really fine, and it was another fish jump, and there was a splash of water, and half of Xiao Letian's body was soaked this time.

"Hahaha......" This time the ship burst into laughter, and even the sailors laughed like crazy, and the sound was so loud that even the British sailors in the distance looked at them in confusion.

Xiao Lotian was not annoyed, he actually smiled and bowed to the dolphin, "I'm kidding you, you are the mascot in the sea, and you will bless our fleet to run rampant in the future... Please......"

The sailors on the ship were stunned, they never thought that there would be such a prime minister in the world, not to mention that they would salute a beast in the sea.

If this kind of person is not a madman, then he is a big man appointed by God, and only a strange person will do such a strange thing.

"Our Prime Minister Xiao is really not an ordinary person..."
