Chapter 221 Telegram (Continue to Cry for a Monthly Pass)

Feng Wenyi was waiting for this sentence, and he immediately said: "Please talk about the inspection!" ”

He didn't dare to underestimate this fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, who was the thousands of soldiers in the hands of this young man, sweeping through the two counties of Wen. Invincible, the next expedition to the west must also be a situation where the autumn wind sweeps away the leaves, and now he can get on the line with Liu Chang, and there will be countless benefits in the future.

As long as Liu Chang's amount does not exceed 300,000 taels of silver, he will go back and directly find the large and small merchants in Ningbo for reimbursement, and their Feng family will keep Ningbo Mansion safe for several months, and the merit is immeasurable, so everyone should help him.

If the amount exceeds 300,000 taels, although it is more difficult to do, it should be more than half, but I am afraid that the Feng family will have to pay 10,000 taels of silver at that time, but Guan Jian is the key to establishing a good relationship with Liu Juehu.

And Liu Chang is not taboo, he said in the first sentence: "I am not short of money for the time being, so the amount of ransom fee has nothing to do with me, your Feng family will buy some things for me in Shanghai!" ”

Some things were bought by themselves through Demons and Rusya on the beach, which was the price of killing pigs, and the preferential price could only be obtained through the Feng family, so Feng Wenyi agreed as soon as possible: "No problem, but don't buy arms, don't buy sulfur!" ”

This sentence means not buying arms and munitions materials, but Liu Chang laughed: "What are you buying those things for, I want you to buy a few telegraph machines, and a few hundred miles of telegraph lines!" ”

As soon as he spoke, the underworld man could still calm down, but Feng Wenyi asked, "Do you want to run a telegraph office for the inspection?" ”

Most of their Feng family's business was in Shanghai, so although Feng Wenyi was young, he was skilled in handling affairs and knew that Westerners had telegraph functions to transmit messages in an instant.

For such a sharp weapon, the Feng family can be said to be drooling, Feng Wenyi even estimated that if there is a preliminary telegraph network, the Feng family's industry can increase at least fifty percent of profits and reduce thirty percent of unexpected losses.

It's just that the heads of the Qing Dynasty officials are as stubborn as stones in a dung pit, and they can't avoid these rich Western products, such as steamships, telegraphs, and railroads.

The Feng family tried once or twice, and had already given up hope in this regard, knowing that it would take 20 years to build a railway and a telegraph network before reaching a preliminary consensus in the minds of Qing officials, and there were even many diehards who insisted that the ancestral family law could not be abolished.

Liu Chang smiled: "Not only do we have to set up telegraphs, we have to build a railway network and buy steamships, but unfortunately Taizhou can't be used in this place!" ”

As soon as Feng Wenyi heard this, he felt that he had found a soulmate, and his words increased: "But do you really want to do it?" ”

"I really want to do it, you first buy the telegraph line and telegraph machine and other things for me, if I come forward to purchase it directly, I'm afraid it will not be easy to do!"

In summary, Ganwang Hong Renji was the first person to propose the introduction of advanced Western technology, but he was an ideological giant, but his actions were accommodating to the facts, and all the ideas in the new chapter of senior administration were just empty talk on paper.

But Liu Chang is now determined to implement it: "With the telegraph network, our army originally only had 7,000 elite soldiers, but now they are all like tigers with wings, and they can be used as 14,000 people." ”

This is true, the modern technological revolution brought about by the telegraph network and the railroad changed the war from the classic gentleman's war to the modern war, and the final evolution was the two world wars.

Liu Chang continued: "Our situation in China has come to the present, and we have to change, although I only base seven counties in Taizhou, but I am willing to change myself. ”

"Good, good, good!" Feng Wenyi was full of ideas for change, and now it is as if a person who has been exposed to the desert for two days has finally found a sweet spring and can drink it at will: "It is extremely true that all countries are changing with each passing day, and if China does not change, it will be the second India!" ”…,

Although he is a businessman, he is a person who really looks at the world in this time and space: "I can't buy a telegraph and a telegraph line in Shanghai, I'll go to Hong Kong for you, Hong Kong can't buy it, I go to Singapore, Singapore can't buy it, I'll go to Mumbai!" ”

"Good! I don't want the ransom fee! Liu Chang immediately explained: "This matter will be handed over to the two brothers, before the autumn harvest, I will never enter Ningbo Mansion." ”

"It's just this second thing, please also ask the two brothers to help, I don't enter Ningbo Mansion, and I also ask Ningshao and Ningshao Mansions to restrain the soldiers in the mansion, don't cross the border and invade my Taizhou Mansion!"

The underworld man immediately agreed: "In the first year of Xianfeng, the governor came to the city in person, but the villagers of Dongxiang escaped from prison and robbed Zhang Chaoqing, and the governor personally fired the cannon, but the battalion soldiers did not see a single person, do you think that such battalion soldiers dare to go out of the city and fight to the death with the soldiers of the Hong Army!" ”

"As for the bravery, there is no need to worry, my Ningbo Mansion has always been a gathering of business travelers, businessmen value profit over righteousness, recruit brave to donate, donate to lose their old life, the only thing to worry about, only the guest soldiers, just the guest soldiers come to the south, I will be informed that the inspection will be made, so that the inspection will be prepared early."

Liu Chang nodded, in this way, he would have no worries about the west expedition to the gold, and he continued to say the third condition: "I have two silver tickets of your Feng family here, I originally wanted to send someone to Ningbo Mansion to accept them, but I couldn't find the opportunity, God gave me Brother Feng, so I will help me exchange them into cash and send them to Taizhou Mansion for military use." ”

Feng Wenyi, as the second grandson, knew everything about the silver tickets issued by the Feng family, but after seeing the number, he was also slightly shocked, and it turned out to be two huge silver tickets of 40,000 taels.

He carefully put away the two silver tickets, and then said: "Please rest assured, this silver ticket will be taken to Ningbo Mansion by others, because the amount is too large, it will inevitably have to be discounted, and it will take many days to receive the cash, but this matter will be handed over to me, before the army marches west, this matter must be done properly!" ”

"Good! Just these three things! Liu Chang was very happy: "I hope that after March, the two brothers can give me an unexpected surprise." ”

Feng Wenyi also laughed and said: "I believe that when the time comes, all the gold will be taken from the eighteen counties, and the Ningbo Mansion will be ripe by then!" ”

……

After leaving Linhai City, Feng Wenyi was in a very happy mood, he galloped freely on his horse, and said: "Underworld, this Liu Jue, what do you think?" ”

The underworld followed: "At first glance, this person's life was originally just the posture of a middle-aged person, but when I took a closer look, I knew that it was definitely not a thing in the pool, and then I heard his remarks, and then I knew that this person's chest was a little like an infinite sea, inexhaustible, inexhaustible, if he could take all the gold in the two prefectures and eighteen counties this time, I am afraid it would be ......"

"What's it?"

The underworld man pondered for a while before saying, "The true dragon son is also!" ”

He continued: "I look at the state of heaven, although there is a middle sky, but Hong Yang is not in harmony, both days in the sky, there will be a day to fall, and the country will inevitably decline in a few years, but I didn't expect that there would be such a variable as Liu Juehu. ”

He is based on the traditional Chinese imperial arts: "Now he only has 7,000 elite soldiers, 3,000 foreign guns, and 40 foreign cannons, and he is already invincible in Zhejiang Province. ”

He sighed slightly, and said to Feng Wenyi: "At that time, I'm afraid that you and I will be subservient!" ”

Feng Wenyi was a little surprised, he looked at the blue sky and said: "It's really the true dragon emperor, you and I are not only bowing to the order of the minister, but also the minister of the dragon!" ”

He laughed: "Let's get these three things done first!" ”

……

"That's Da Chen Mountain!"

The so-called Dachen Mountain, is today's Dachen Island, Dachen Island originally appeared as Dachen Mountain in the "Zheng He Navigation Chart", and now Dachen Island has become an extremely important fishing island, there are five or six thousand fishermen, a year of catch almost two or three million silver yuan, the highest peak of the catch almost reached four million silver yuan. …,

Strictly speaking, Dachen Island was divided into Upper Dachen and Lower Dachen, and according to intelligence, Su Jingrong and his five or six hundred Taiyong retreated to Shangdachen and used their water superiority to threaten the landing of Shanghong's army.

It's just that now the fishermen of Xia Dachen looked at the fleet in front of them with amazement, and many of the ships in this fleet they all recognized, which should be Ge Wuye's fleet.

It's just that Ge Wuye was beaten by Buxing's Guangzhou and his bones are gone? Why did they appear here again, looking at their posture, it didn't seem like they had lost a battle, especially the red single boat was even more majestic.

The sea breeze is fierce, and Ye Niangzi is ready: "The twelve-pounder caron cannon, ready!" ”

The two twelve-pounder Cullen cannons, as Ye Niangzi's magic weapon for victory, were ready to attack at any time, but when they sailed into the Shangda Chen Sea, they did not find any signs of resistance.

Fu Wendao couldn't help but be surprised: "Could it be that Bu Xing is preparing to ambush us in Dachen Mountain?" ”

"Then fight to the death, I'm not afraid of him Buxing! What's more, you have so many foreign guns under your hands, so we are not afraid that Buxing has that guy! ”

Fu Wendao replied: "My flintlock pistols and firing pistols are useless in naval battles?" ”

"It's of great use!" Ye Niangzi immediately said: "It may not be weaker than the ordinary artillery of Buxing's fleet!" ”

As he was talking, several small warships had sailed out in front, and the flag that was hung out was the white flag that Su Jingrong often played, and Ye Niangzi shouted loudly: "It's closer, it's closer, it's going to sink with one shot!" ”

The small warship on the opposite side immediately opened fire, but the shells swept far past the Ziwei Star and rushed until it was almost the distance to the broadside battle, and Ye Yudie shouted: "Fire!" ”

The twelve-pounder Cullen guns in the bow and stern of the ship were the first to fire, and at such a short distance, two shots and one hit, immediately broke a small warship into two, and the rest of the warships also fired one after another, and the foreign guns of the independent company also joined the battle at range.

Su Jingrong's fleet had become a plank floating on the water after two rounds of three fires, and some shipwrecked sailors were desperately struggling on the water, Ye Yudie gave an order majestically: "Send two boats to stay at sea, and the rest of the ships will go up and land with me!" ”
