[Asking for support] Everyone is welcome to support, asking for clicks, recommendations, and favorites [Portal] [Qihang invites you to sign in together] Cheer for Qihang Liu Chang's applause was particularly clear in the quiet venue, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was also particularly sarcastic.

But Fumar's mouth was wide open, and he didn't know how to end it.

Behind Liu Chang was a row of rebel soldiers whom he called "thin and yellow, stupid and ignorant, poor and timid", a group of poor worms and infidels in his mouth, but everyone could clearly see what he was talking about.

The soldiers' eyes were firm and powerful, they were wrapped in red turbans, white armed belts, almost semi-Westernized clothing, and the rifles they held in their hands were also European, and some of the ladies were already saying: "Oh my God, this is the same as the rifles of the British Army in Shanghai!" ”

And these soldiers are not some malnourished cowards, Fumar only glanced at it, and knew that his previous judgment was completely wrong, although these infantry were not comparable to the European army, but in the Qing Dynasty, they were the best infantry.

His mouth was barely closed until now, but he didn't know how to end it

This was originally Feng Wenmang's relationship, and he directly grasped all the things that were neutral in Ningbo in his own hands, and now Hongjun has entered the city directly because his price is too high.

Are they going to turn the port of Ningbo into a dead port?

He boldly walked up with a cane and shouted in Chinese, "Who are you?" This is the British Consulate, and it is the English ......."

Liu Chang had already interrupted him: "Can I give a speech?" ”

"Who are you?"

Liu Chang completely ignored Fumar's existence, and he said to a lady in a long white dress: "This lady, I have something important to explain now, can you make trouble?" ”

The somewhat plump lady looked at the legendary handsome young officer and said with a smile, "Welcome, may I ask who you are?" ”

"Commander of the Zhedong Hongjun!" Liu Chang had already walked into the consulate, and several infantry were closely guarding behind him, and he introduced himself to the Westerners present: "You can call me Liu Checkpoint, that's right, I am Liu Chang!" ”

This name seemed a little unfamiliar to the Westerners present, but his true identity quickly spread among the crowd: "It's Liu Juehu!" ”

The name Liu Chang or Liu Jian is obviously not as loud as the name Liu Jiehu, many ladies are already looking for their knights, and the knights in their minds are already looking for weapons for self-defense.

But they looked at Liu Chang with curious eyes, what kind of speech would this legendary Liu Jian give.

Liu Chang stood on the grass in front of the consulate and said in a positive voice: "I need a translator, an English translator, I believe you all know English,"

Immediately, someone volunteered, Liu Chang didn't clear his throat, he said directly: "Gentlemen, ladies, good evening!" I am Liu Chang, and others generally call me Liu Checkpoint, but some people call me Liu Juehu, although this is a vicious attack by the government! ”

"Before I give my speech, I must state one thing, that is, the Ningbo government is already under my control,"

The Westerners present could not combine this excessively handsome young officer with the legendary control of tens of thousands of troops and tens of thousands of square kilometers of land, and many ladies were whispering: "Too young, too young...... It's incredible,"...,

Maybe it's only in the magical East that such a miraculous thing can happen? But there are also ladies who say that in addition to the East, this can happen in the Russian Empire, where there are teenage Praetorian Guard majors and even lieutenant colonels, "who have been officers of the Praetorian Guard since birth."

However, on the one hand, they expressed curiosity and listened to Liu Chang's speech: "You all came to the East to look for opportunities, right? Then I tell you now that the greatest opportunity since Napoleon's defeat awaits you,"

"This is the best and least missed opportunity since the 1800s, if you miss this opportunity, you can only wait until 1900, when the old Eastern Central Kingdom has opened its doors to you!"

Everyone had already pricked up their ears, waiting for Liu Chang's next sentence

That's right, they came to China in search of opportunities, they were a group of real adventurers, and true successful people would not come to the Far East, even the missionaries.

Liu Chang continued: "My army has captured the six prefectures of Wenzhou, Jinhua, Taizhou, Chuzhou, Ningbo and Shaoxing, and we announce to you that you can do your own activities in these areas without any permission, and engage in trade, tourism, investigation or other affairs at your own discretion, and I will provide you with all conveniences!" ”

This obviously received much more applause than Fumar, and Westerners came to China with an extreme sense of adventure, but this ancient country never opened its doors to them.

In fact, it was just a crack in the door, and it was this crack in the door that they had to open with great difficulty, and even they used tens of thousands of expeditionary troops to carry out an opium war, thinking that when they opened the door of the Chinese country, they found that it was only a crack in the door, and the trade prosperity they imagined had not come at all, and the Chinese people used all means to resist the entry of Western products.

Under these circumstances, they had to resort to all means, both legal and illegal, to barely keep the crack in the door, and now that the young general had opened the door to them, he received more applause than Fumar.

"I must state that I have stated that I support the prosperity, stability and neutrality of the port of Ningbo, although my troops have entered Ningbo, but I repeat that I still hijack the prosperity, stability and neutrality of this port, and expect you to become the cornerstone of this prosperity, stability and neutrality.

Someone immediately asked, "General Liu Chang, I would like to ask, can we preach freely in the area under your control?" ”

"Guy!" Liu Chang immediately said: "But you and other religions enjoy the right to preach by themselves, but it is forbidden to preach to the army,"

This was the biggest concession Liu Chang made in desperation, but he would not allow the missionaries to try to infiltrate the army, and then someone said: "I have been engaged in the opium trade for a long time, can I continue to work in this industry?" ”

Liu Chang immediately replied: "We support legal trade, but the opium trade is illegal trade in our regulations, if you have a spot of opium, I can give you a pardon period, during which you can re-export to other ports, but what I want to say is that in the current situation, what else do you do opium trade, military fire, military fire, military fire, this is more than a hundred times the profit of the opium trade, I need a lot of military fire, Mini infantry guns, field artillery, fortress guns, clothing, belts, I need all the fire medicine, which of you can provide it? ”

This apparently received a lot of applause, and the Raven Piece trader was also full of expectations for the arms trade, and he had heard of two typical examples, Rusya and De Muns, two Western merchants who had a long history of arms and arms dealings with the Rainbow Army, who had now become the stars of the port of Shanghai. …,

It is said that they have already made hundreds of thousands of pounds in the arms trade with Liu Jiehu, and now the Western merchants in Shanghai are almost all looking for more gold mines in them, and now that the port of Ningbo is controlled by the Hong army, they can engage in such a high-return arms trade.

You must know that the sea surface of Zhejiang is no longer the world of the Qing Dynasty sailors, but is in a state of self-reliance and openness, in this case, they do not have to worry about being inspected by the Qing Dynasty sailors, the only worry is how to organize the supply of goods and carry out transportation0

And Liu Chang continued: "I now need to make autumn clothes for my troops, tens of thousands of troops, tens of thousands of military uniforms, which of you can provide cotton cloth?" ”

Cotton cloth can be said to be one of the most advantageous industrial products in Britain, and it is also one of the lifeblood of British industry in this era.

Although the British cotton cloth opened up a part of the market, but its market is very limited, the native cloth is still stubbornly productive to resist the capitalist invasion, even near Shanghai, the native cloth still maintains a certain share of the market, and the native cloth of Zhejiang is also fighting with the same tenacity.

But the mission of making uniform uniforms for the army was not something that could be accomplished by homespun cloth, so as soon as Liu Chang's words came out, a businessman immediately said loudly: "I can provide the cotton cloth you need,"

"I can also provide the cotton you need!"

"I ......"

"I ......"

Immediately, a lot of hands were raised, and Liu Chang told them: "Remember, it is the cotton cloth needed for tens of thousands of sets of military uniforms, and I will have more orders in stock later?" ”

Although Ningbo Port has some cotton cloth stocks, no one can provide tens of thousands of cotton cloths needed for military uniforms - in fact, there are not tens of thousands of sets, Liu Chang has decided to order 100,000 pieces of military uniforms for the future expansion and attrition.

Liu Chang continued: "We still have more trade needs, we also need wool, steel, ships, steam engines, telegraph lines, to tell you a good news, we are ready to set up a telegraph line from Ningbo to Shaoxing, I hope that among you, more Demons, more Rusya!" ”

This makes everyone more jubilant, no matter what, Liu Chang's army of tens of thousands of people is a real monster, they are eager for all industrial products, and now they occupy the rather rich Ningbo Mansion and Shaoxing Mansion, naturally to satisfy the various thirsts of the troops.

The applause continued for several minutes, and then someone asked: "I would like to ask General Liu, how do you fulfill your promise to respect the prosperity, stability, and neutrality of this treaty port?" ”。 ）
