Ye Mingsheng went out, and when it came to Britons, Ye Kai's mood was a little depressed.

Although he knew that there would be a day of confrontation with the British, he did not expect this day to come so quickly.

One of the most direct reasons is Jenna's father, Warren. Although Hastings went through Ye Kai's 'renewal', he still fell in a political turmoil last year.

The reason for this fall is really not Warren. Hastings is politically naïve, but the position of Viceroy of India, the oil and water are too rich!

Under the influence of Ye Kaina, the British conquest of India in this era reached a scale in history around 1860.

In this way, the British found that they had far more benefits in India than in any other colony, and of course the position of Viceroy of India was even more eye-catching!

Warren. From 1787 onwards, Hastings was able to earn at least £70,000 to £80,000 a year from this position.

This is an astronomical amount, how can he, a person who has no foundation in the UK, sit in this position for a long time.

So in early 1790, he was appointed by the second Earl of Cornwallis, Charles Brown. Cornwallis was replaced.

His Excellency the Earl, who was forced to surrender to the American army in the American Revolutionary War, changed Hastings's attitude of support for Ye Kai as soon as he took office, and as a soldier, he keenly felt Ye Kai's threat to the interests of the British in the South Seas and even to India in the future.

After Cornwallis made it clear that he wanted to restrict the activities of the Revival Company in the South Seas, most of the British soldiers under Ye Kai's command, whether it was the navy or army, and even Alexander. Forsyth is gone.

But fortunately, before he left, the prototype of the firing pistol had already been made, and of course, in view of the fact that Alexander . Forsyth's 'good' performance, Ye Kai 'rewarded' him.

King Ye specially recruited two masters of Xingyi Quan from Foshan, the hometown of martial arts, and sent the inventor on his way home in Manraka, which was controlled by the Dutch, and also recaptured a few model guns he had taken away.

This time the personnel exodus had a great impact on Ye Kai's revival army, especially the navy of the revival army. Such an event as Wilson's rebellion.

In the end, although the rebellion was stopped, the combat effectiveness of the Baath Navy was now greatly reduced due to the loss of more than a thousand elite English sailors.

After this incident, Ye Kai's revival army and the British colonists had frequent frictions throughout the South Seas, and this battle to destroy Brunei Darussalam was the most serious friction among them!

If it weren't for the support of the British, Brunei Darussalam would have been wiped out at the end of last year.

For the current situation, Ye Kai could only take a defensive position, and Ye Kai adopted an extremely friendly policy towards the British mercenaries operating in Nanyang.

Whether it was a British soldier who was captured in the battle or a British soldier who surrendered in desperation, Ye Kai took relative courtesy, treated the injured, raised the uninjured, and found a suitable opportunity to send them back to India together.

In the case of Ye Kai's big belly, it turns out that ordinary British soldiers still have a little bit of shame.

Now, as long as there is a conflict with the Baxing Army, most British soldiers have started to play soy sauce, and when encountering British soldiers who play soy sauce, Ye Kai will often give the captives a sum of money after the war before sending them back to India.

So much so that there is now a joke circulating in the British army that in the future to fight against the Renaissance Army, ordinary soldiers will just wait for a big meal and collect money, and the war will let the officers go and fight the opposite Baath Army alone.

Anyway, no matter if you win or lose, as long as you don't burp on the battlefield on the spot, there is nothing to worry about, and there is nothing to fight.

In other respects, his core strategy was not to make the British profitable in the South Seas!

Wherever the British had established relations with the local natives or established colonies, Ye Kai used his influence to restrict or even strictly prohibit Chinese from living there.

The Chinese are the wealth creators of Nanyang, and without them, the British would be useless no matter what place they occupy!

Also because of Ye Kai's strong demand in the North Vietnamese mines, the natives of Nanyang were at least captured by the Dutch and the Baath Army and went north.

So the British developed several colonies and tin mines, but because of the extreme shortage of people, they ended up with a blue nose and swollen face.

But the colonies couldn't make any money, and these guys turned around and attacked the Dutch ships that carried rock and sugar to Europe.

He also bribed the scum among the Chinese many times to figure out the secrets of rock sugar and white sugar, and Ye Kai estimated that they should have mastered the manufacturing method by now.

But fortunately, he has an advantage that the British can't compare, that is, he has the most industrious race in the world - the Chinese.

Even if the British began to refine rock sugar and white sugar, Ye Kai was confident that they would be defeated with a price war, and Ye Kai believed that the British would not have the place to find so many land and people to grow sugar cane for a while.

What a hassle!

Ye Kai shook his head, now is the critical period for him to prepare for the Northern Expedition, but the British came to do such a thing again.

In fact, this is not the most troublesome, the most troublesome thing is in case the British have a clear mind one day and run to find Rama I to join forces.

The current Siam is extremely important to Ye Kai, because there are three basic industrial industries, mining, smelting, and weaving.

Not to mention the first two, there is no shortage of manpower for the time being, and it is not a high-tech, and now mining is one of the most profitable industries in Jiaozhi!

The smelting is also okay, Ye Kai has the most advanced smelting technology and blast furnace bought from Britain and France, and Yixin University has also begun to study on its own, and it is said that it has made a lot of breakthroughs.

Ma is troublesome in textiles, not technical troubles, but sales troubles, Ye Kai originally wanted to sell these cloths to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and by the way, it can also play a role in destroying the Manchu agricultural feudal experience circle.

But it turns out that he thought too much, although the honeycomb coal he invented has become the standard of life for residents in big cities such as Guangzhou, and Jiaozhi coal has also become synonymous with high quality and low price.

However, the cloth produced in Cochin is known as demon cloth in Liangguang, from farmers to gentry, all have great vigilance against this kind of cloth, and Fukangan has also repeatedly ordered that Cochin cloth is strictly prohibited from being sold to the mainland.

This made Ye Kai miserable, the farmers did not buy it, the gentry boycotted, the government forbade it, and even those profiteers and Hongmen brothers who came to Jiaozhi to buy goods refused to bring Jiaozhi cloth into the country.

At first, Ye Kai wanted to use this to destroy the small peasant economy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, hehe, but in the end he found that he couldn't even pry into a province in Guangxi!

When he was worried, he unexpectedly found a place that was very suitable for selling cochin cloth, and that was Siam.

After that, in order to sell the Jiaozhi cloth, he unified the entire Beiqi and Zhongqi, that is, the Ye Kai of Jiaozhi and Jiuzhen, and fought intermittently with Rama I for a year.

At first, it was a war around Chenla, then a war between Pak Fu and Songkhla, and finally the battle between the two navies reached the mouth of the Chao Phraya River, and Ye Kai's army even occupied Sattahip and Chonburi for a time.

In the end, Ye Kai found that he didn't have the strength to eat Siam, which currently has more than 50,000 standing troops and more than 100,000 reserve troops.

Rama I also found that the fighting power of the Baxing Army was even more exaggerated than that of the Xishan Army, and he would definitely not be able to please him if he continued to fight.

So the exhausted two parties reached an agreement that about 150,000 gold dollars worth of cochin cloth would be sold to Siam every year, and Rama I appointed the Chinese merchants of Sam Pin Street as underwriters.

Ye Kai promised that he would import about 60,000 gold yuan worth of rice, pepper, sumac, ivory, gold and silver ornaments from Siam every year, and the Chinese merchants in Sanping Street would also be responsible for it, so that the war would be quelled.

Ye Kai now finally knows why capitalism does not move at every turn
