(TXT ) (TXT ) (TXT) After figuring out some things, Li Dacheng's doubts were gone, and he squinted with excitement all morning, and at noon, Wang Maozhai brought him good news. (TXT )

"Second master, there is a British businessman on the sea, and he wants to meet the sixth master to discuss business!"

"Can you confirm that it's a British merchant?"

Hearing the words of the British businessman, Li Dacheng's eyes woke up from the confusion of lack of sleep, and he looked at Wang Maozhai with blazing eyes, he hoped to get an accurate answer.

"It should be true, this person was brought to the dock by the two British owners who sold our steel-hulled ships before."

After listening, Li Dacheng secretly said Sure enough, most of the current ocean-going cargo ships are of iron-wood structure, there are fewer and fewer pure wood-hulled sea ships, and the number of pure steel-hulled sea ships is even less.

Their own forces, to be precise, Gui Shun Gui Baylor's forces, have been targeted by the British, in the current Qing Dynasty, the most well-informed is not the imperial court, but the British, forty years of development, so that the British power in China is deeply rooted, although they still do not know the behavior and habits of the Qing side, but in terms of intelligence, they are more than a step higher than the Qing court.

The reason why the British took the initiative to come up, Li Dacheng understood after thinking about it, it was not Shandong, nor the south, but the three eastern provinces in a vacuum, the Tsarist forces retreated, and only a few remaining road guards were in the three eastern provinces.

The beginning of spring is imminent, once the ice and snow in the three eastern provinces melt. The relieved old Maozi is bound to make a comeback, the interests of the three eastern provinces are too great, timber, minerals, and the Dongqing Railway built by Tsarist Russia, if after the beginning of spring, the three eastern provinces can block the comeback of Lao Maozi, and the opportunity for the British to live in the three eastern provinces is too great, and the benefits are greater!

The Boer War, now considered over, freed up the British. If you want the three eastern provinces, they can't do it on their own, and the cost of the Boer War is too great. Fighting another such war in the Far East is not conducive to the stability of the British regime, and he cannot fight it himself, so he can only find an agent.

When the medicinal herbs were exchanged for weapons before, the British probably hadn't figured it out yet. Now I figured it out. It is also time to digest the weapons accumulated in the Boer War. A Boer War, in which the British invested hundreds of millions of pounds. The amount of ordnance must be astronomical, and some of the inconsequential or second-hand ordnance should be withdrawn. It is also the right time to exchange money and benefits.

"Mao Zhai, take me to meet him!"

There was a rough guess in his heart, Li Dacheng did not hesitate here, got up and was about to meet the British businessman in Wang Maozhai's mouth, this is an opportunity, Li Dacheng delayed the launch of the Zhenwei army in the north, there are reasons why the Zhenwei army has not gained a stable foothold, but the biggest reason is the gap in strength between the Zhenwei army and the Lao Maozi army.

The tens of thousands of Zhenwei troops from Jingu, if there are guns and cannons, it is not impossible to match Lao Maozi's regular army, but those tens of thousands of elites were divided by Qi Shiduo's side of 5,000, and most of the Beijing division was left.

The appearance of the British is an opportunity for themselves, and it is also an opportunity for the Zhenwei Army in the three eastern provinces, the Zhenwei Army now lacks systematic training, and even less artillery, if there is the support of the British, I believe that in a few months, the Zhenwei Army in the three eastern provinces can give a small try.

"Second master, this person is quite difficult to get involved in walking, but I'm afraid that he is also a foreigner's practitioner, when I came, I saw that there was something bulging around my waist, you go, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?"

Being a bookkeeper is just Wang Maozhai's side job, and his real job is set by Master Banhou, to protect the safety of Second Master Li! The British businessman who took the initiative to meet him this time, his hands, eyes, waist and knees were in harmony between walking, he must be a practitioner, and Wang Maozhai smelled some breath of Li Erye from this person, this person is dangerous! Second Master Li went in person, and Wang Maozhai was only afraid that something would go wrong.

"If it had been three months ago, I wouldn't have dared to see him, now...... Hehe...... Who's afraid of whom? ”

Three months ago, Li Dacheng was injured and couldn't move lightly, but now it's different, his injury has recovered, and his physical strength has not only increased after intensive training in Aishan, but also Xingyi's cannon boxing and collapse boxing, he has also obtained the essence of the gods, and his basic skills have also made great progress.

At this time, Li Dacheng was very confident, even if he played with a gun, his speed was much higher than before, three or five people, at most five seconds can be solved.

"That'...... The second master must be careful! ”

Knowing that he can't resist Li Erye, Wang Maozhai has no extra persuasion, his job is to protect Li Erye's safety, it's really not possible, it's just it!

Under the guidance of Wang Maozhai, Li Dacheng arrived at a warehouse near the wharf, and after a while, Wang Maozhai led three foreign devils to Li Dacheng.

As Wang Maozhai said, after the foreign devil in his mouth came in, Li Dacheng's body unconsciously tensed, this person is dangerous!

"Sixth Master?"

Seeing Li Dacheng in the shadows, the foreign devil next to Wang Maozhai asked in awkward Chinese, he was really prepared! You don't need to bring a translator.

"It's not! Checkmate? ”

After answering the foreign devil's question in English, Li Dacheng also asked a question, the person who came was in his forties, about 1.8 meters tall, with a lean figure and wheat-colored skin, such a white man, he should have been in Africa for a long time, and then look at the position of his hands and feet, after entering the house, this person has also been on guard.

"Major! You are? ”

As soon as he heard that it was a major, Li Dacheng changed his sitting posture again, and the person who came was a lieutenant colonel, a colonel or a colonel was better than a major, and the major, most of them were regiment-level commanders, and this was basically the highest-ranking general fighting on the front line, no matter which country, generals above the lieutenant colonel level rarely appeared on the real battlefield, and the major was the only exception among the colonel-level officers, of course, the navy and special forces were not counted.

At the age of more than forty, I am afraid that it is the time for combat experience and combat effectiveness to be at its peak, and such a major deserves Li Dacheng's cautious treatment.

"Second master! Governmental? ”

This answer. The second master, Li Dacheng, is in Chinese, and the questions behind him are in English, the second master, the one on the other side obviously does not understand the meaning, and turned around and asked a Chinese shipowner, and he also understood the meaning of the second master, which is higher than the sixth master.

"You have the final say?"

Shaking his head and answering Li Dacheng's question, the major asked about Li Dacheng's power again.

"It's up and down! Personal? ”

Seeing that the major shook his head again, Li Dacheng also knew who was behind the scenes, and he was afraid that it was the British ** force.

"That's a friend of the military. How big is the list? ”

As he said this, Li Dacheng stood up and took a few steps forward. The major smiled wryly and took a few steps back.

"It's not the military, it's just a semi-official organization!"

Li Dacheng was noncommittal about the major's explanation, he wanted to see the quality and scale of the goods. That's the key to cooperation.

"The goods can only be unloaded at Yingkou!"

Sure enough, there are conditions for cooperation. After listening to the major's explanation, Li Dacheng stopped. He asked with a smile on his face.

"What if I want to be unloaded in Shandong?"

"Deal Cancelled!"

"Then why did you come to Jiaozhou Bay?"

"The sixth master is here!"

"Oh! Now that the sixth master is not here, the second master has the final say. I want to unload some of it in Shandong, this time you are here, what if it is a pirate?

This is the source of money for Lord Belle. Protection by force is required! ”

Speaking concisely and clearly, acting simply and decisively, after being rejected, Li Dacheng tested this British major, an absolute professional soldier! Could it be that there is something else good this time?

After explaining in detail the reason why he was unloading the goods at Tabutou, the major gave an accurate answer after a while.

"Yes! But only a maximum of five thousand people can be unloaded! ”

"Good! Good! Good! Let's get on board and have a look!

By the way, what's your name? I can't call you Major, can I? ”

"Ryan! Retired British Major Officer Ryan! ”

Hearing the words of the retired officer, Li Dacheng's eyebrows raised, this is a good thing!

Li Hongzhang's foreign guests are mainly Germans, so Li Hongzhang's relationship with Germany is extraordinary.

Others don't have this vision, Hurd of the Beijing Division has this vision, relying on Gui Shun, who started with the Zhenwei Army, the rise is a foregone conclusion, and now the officialdom of the Beijing Division, Gui Shun's family is dominant, although he has not yet controlled the officialdom of the Beijing Division, but no one in the Qing Dynasty officialdom is Gui Shun's opponent except for an old lady.

Thinking about the reason for the matter all the way, Li Dacheng and Ryan and others got on a small boat and boarded a Dutch cargo ship parked near the dock, after getting on the ship, Li Dacheng did nothing else, walked around the deck, and looked carefully at the sailors on the ship.

As the spies said, these sailors are very unprofessional, but from another point of view, these people are absolutely professional professional soldiers, roughly over thirty years old, and almost everyone has scars on their faces, this should be a group of elites in a hundred battles!

Seeing Li Dacheng turn around on the deck, Ryan took the initiative to step forward and take him down the cabin.

"Major Ryan, the sailors on deck are also retired soldiers?"

"Yes!"

"Oh...... Can I buy the ship and the sailors on board? ”

"Yes! But we can only conclude unofficial contracts! ”

After listening to this reply, the smile on Li Dacheng's face became even stronger, the British are also chicken thieves! Get a semi-official organization, sign an unofficial contract, and if something big happens, they can push 625.

The affairs of the three eastern provinces are different from the British helping Beiyang to train the navy, with the previous five-way invasion of Tsarist Russia, and the recent Zhenwei army forces going north, once the war breaks out in the three eastern provinces, it will be a large-scale war.

Although the Qing Dynasty fought a good resistance battle in Jingu, the British side should still not be optimistic about the Zhenwei army in the three eastern provinces, once the official participation in the training of the Zhenwei army, once the Zhenwei army is defeated, once it is known by Tsarist Russia, then Tsarist Russia and Britain will have a direct conflict.

In the Far East, Tsarist Russia has an absolute geographical advantage, and in the event of a direct conflict, it is likely that Britain will suffer.

Ordnance is covered by trading in traditional Chinese medicine, and military aid is covered by unofficial contracts, and the methods of this foreign devil are similar to those of later generations.

But in any case, the most benefits are still the Zhenwei Army, today's Zhenwei Army does lack the training of the regular army, especially the shortage of artillery, in these aspects, Li Dacheng can come up with a limited method, one by one to train usable soldiers It takes too long, Tsarist Russia is destined not to give the Zhenwei Army so much time.

With overseas military aid, the elite of the British Army is directly involved in commanding and training the Zhenwei Army, as long as there are more than 100 middle-level officers, it is enough to make the combat strength of the Zhenwei Army soar several times in a short period of time, and the combat power will soar several times, and the number of casualties will be greatly reduced in the next war.

Although there is no specific talk about the sale, but the general number of the British, Li Dacheng got a rough idea in a few words, and this good thing also comes from the plague! If there was no withdrawal of the Eight-Nation Alliance, and there was no withdrawal of Lao Maozi from the three eastern provinces, where would such a good thing come from? (To be continued.) (。 ))
