Just after saying this. Her head hung down, and she felt her whole face burn.

For Liu Chang, she couldn't find a second word to call her, in this case, the inspection was no longer suitable, but she felt that she couldn't say it if she changed to other more affectionate titles, such as Xianggong and the like.

Liu Chang had been planning the Battle of Ningbo for more than a day, but Shi Tinglan suddenly poured a basin of cold water, but when he saw the red tide on Shi Tinglan's face, he immediately understood the mind of his daughter's family.

No matter what, Shi Tinglan must have been for his good to oppose Ningbo Zhantou, and he immediately calmed down, only knowing that the hand holding Shi Tinglan's hand was so smooth and silky, he wanted to tear it away, but he pulled it lightly and put it back into Liu Chang's palm.

And Yang Changmei on the side also directly held Liu Chang's hand, this is the scene of Zuo hugging Gu, Liu Chang couldn't help but be drunk for a while, and then he said: "Sister Tinglan, why am I wrong?"

"What's wrong?" Shi Tinglan quickly replied to him: "Brother Chang, why did you miss the foreigners!"

Foreigner! That's right, it's a foreigner, Liu Changden felt a cold sweat on his forehead. He did a thousand calculations. How did you miss the foreigners!

Ningbo is not an ordinary port, but one of the five treaty ports in China in this time and space, although there are not many Western merchants and missionaries in Ningbo Port, according to Liu Chang's understanding, there are only about 100 people.

But behind these hundred or so people were the great powers, especially Britain and France and Russia, who were looking for excuses for the Second Opium War.

The Crimean War prevented them from looking east for the time being, but soon they would be able to take a break from the Eastern Empire and divide up everything in the Eastern Empire, and they didn't know exactly what the Westerners were doing.

In the case of the Crimean War, Liu Chang estimated that the British and French troops would not intervene in the Far East on a large scale in the short term, but the possibility of dispatching hundreds of troops like the suppression of the Knife Society still existed!

That's right, it is the Little Knife Society, and the Little Knife Society was able to survive the siege of the Qing army because of the acquiescence of Britain and France and the Great Powers, but their losses also stemmed from the blockade and even hostility of the Great Powers.

As Ye Yudie said, due to the impact of the war, the entire Ningbo port relied on the prosperous entrepot trade and there was a huge decline in a short period of time, whether it was tea, silk or other commodities, it was turned to Fuzhou or other ports in a short period of time.

But this is not the most lethal effect, the merchants will always consciously avoid the war, and the place of sale and source of goods in the port of Ningbo is not in Ningbofu, but in the far inland, and these inland are almost all under the control of the Qing army, in that case, that is

If he keeps the Feng family in Cixi, Ningbo Port will also become a dead port with no goods to trade except for the arms trade.

Britain and France and the stronger most important is commercial interests, Ningbo port to become a dead port is not in their interests, in history, after the Taiping army captured Ningbo, Britain and France soon directly intervened in the war, the formation of the so-called "winning army" and other BU teams directly participated in the war.

At this time, due to the impact of the Crimean War, such direct participation in the war may be later, but the bigger problem lies within the Rainbow Army.

Although there is such a strong force as the Dragon Lance Battalion, the history of the entire Rainbow Army is still too new, and most of the infantry have served for less than three months, which is even just an ordinary recruit training period in later generations.

Liu Chang originally thought that it would be more abundant to have a month to replenish and strengthen the troops, but now considering the possibility of direct intervention by the great powers, he realized that the history of his troops was too new.

Many infantry companies would collapse in the brutal battle, and some unreliable officers would even defect to the enemy, and in this case, Liu Chang had to lay a solid foundation before the Battle of Ningbo was carried out.

He asked Shi Tinglan: "Tinglan is a good sister, how is that the best policy!"

Shi Tinglan replied: "To the west, to the west, to develop to the west, there is enough depth!"

From Taizhou Mansion to the west, that is, Jinhua Mansion, in addition to the Red Turban Army is trying to occupy the Prefecture Mansion, although these two large mansions have a large population, but they are not a rich place, Jinhua Mansion is still worth mentioning, as for the Prefecture Mansion, it has always been the poorest place in Zhejiang.

In the past, Liu Chang couldn't look down on these two mansions, but now Liu Chang is bright, yes!

Going west is indeed the best choice, maybe going west can have a way out! However, it is difficult to say when the campaign to the west will be completed, and if the golden autumn and September of 1855 are missed, it means that the grain and tax revenue of Ningbo Province will be converted into war potential.

"Three months, can you knock down Jinhua Mansion in September?" Liu Chang couldn't help but hesitate: "Or is it the state capital where the troops are sent?"

The transportation in the state capital is even more inconvenient, but the Qing army there has already been hit hard by the Red Turban Army, and it seems that it is more certain to take the state capital?

Shi Tinglan didn't know how to answer this question, she had always been a resourceful and decisive woman: "Or can you go south?"

To the south is to merge with the old Red Turban Army, swallow the Wenzhou Mansion, and now the Wenzhou Mansion is only the new recruits and the old and weak of the Red Turban Army, and it is very certain to take the Wenzhou Mansion Liu Chang in the south

It was the Rainbow Army that originated from the Red Turban Army, and it would lose a lot of people's hearts when attacking south.

Moreover, Liu Chang soon found that it seemed that after taking the whole Taizhou Prefecture, it was also a good plan to properly develop and train the troops to the west, and to attack Ningbo Prefecture before the autumn harvest after taking three or four counties. At that time, his troops could be greatly trained, and their troops were more sufficient.

All in all, whether Wulun attacked Ningbo Mansion to the west, south or waiting for the autumn harvest seemed to be a good plan, and after Liu Chang vetoed the plan to attack Ningbo Mansion in June, he found that more plans were waiting for his choice.

It's just that he didn't know which of these options was the most reasonable, so he quickly decided to make the wisest decision.

He hugged Shi Tinglan's slender waist tightly, and said softly: "Thank you so much for Tinglan's good sister, when I take Ningbo Mansion, I will be right."

Let him marry you and the eldest sister!"

"I'm going to be your lady!" Shi Tinglan forcibly stood up, and took Yang Changmei's hand and walked out: "Our sisters will go by themselves!"

Sister Yang said, "Brother Chang, which direction do you think is the best way to attack in June?"

By mid-June, the entire Taizhou Bureau was basically controlled, and the expansion of the troops was completed at the same time, which was Liu Chang's established policy. Naturally, it won't change, Liu Chang told the truth: "I hit Ningbo Guanjian just to see that there is a lot of money there, but fortunately, Sister Tinglan and Sister Eldest Sister reminded me!"

"When the time comes, let's decide where we can get more food and silver!"

Liu Chang considered the war from an economic point of view, and after the completion of the expansion of the army in June, the strength of the entire Hong Army would be greatly increased compared to the present one, and considering the establishment of local garrisons and township officials to be established, the expenditure would be even greater.

Although it is said that "Huang is too familiar, and the six counties are enough", Liu Chang not only has to solve the huge military food expenditure, but also has to spend a lot of money to buy arms from the teachings, so he can't help but think about it in the long run. I'm afraid I'm going to have to sit back and eat when the time comes.

It's just that Shi Tinglan suddenly smiled: "Although I don't necessarily marry you, I can lend you my and my eldest sister's dowry first!" Even the dowry for the dowry was lent to Brother Chang, can you still not marry? Yang Changmei gently stepped on Shi Tinglan. But I lowered my head and got my own share of the marriage from the sole of my shoes, and as for Shi Tinglan's share, it was hidden in her close-fitting clothes.

When Liu Chang got Shi Tinglan's dowry, he still had a faint body fragrance, but Liu Chang was shocked by the content on it:

"Pay when you see the ticket, 40,000 taels!"

Yang Changmei's share is also 40,000 taels, all of which are Zhuang tickets issued by the Feng family in Cixi, Shi Tinglan told him: "They are all Zhuang tickets issued by the Feng family, and they will be redeemed when you see the tickets!"

Although it is redeemed at sight, but such a large amount of Zhuang tickets want to be exchanged, it is very difficult for the envoy to get Ningbo, you must know that the ordinary Ningbo money bank, the capital is only a few thousand strings of money at most.

Even if it is a behemoth like the Feng family in Cixi, it will have to be ready for a few days to cash out such a huge banknote, let alone take out both of these two tickets, which will almost sweep away a small half of the cash circulating in the Ningbo market.

But how about Wulun, these are two genuine dealers, Shi Tinglan saw the scene when Liu Chang secretly smelled the fragrance of the jade body, but she was anxious: "The dowry of our dowry is temporarily borrowed from you, you must not borrow it without paying it back!"

Liu Chang nodded, and he said, "Dowry, this is the dowry!"

"Big bad! I won't marry you!" Yang Changmei sneered: "Sister Tinglan, don't you want to get back the dowry given to us by Brother Yiwang and Brother Dongwang!"

It's just that they weren't angry, Yang Changmei even stuck out her tongue and said: "It's so Changchang, don't worry, this is a Zhuang ticket issued by the head of the Feng family, and you can cash the silver when you get it to Ningbo!"

Liu Chang quickly understood: "It turns out that the Feng family has contact with Tianguo?"

He never dreamed that a thousand-year-old famous family like the Feng family in Ningbo would actually contact the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and Shi Tinglan told Liu Chang: "Some business connections are just some business contacts, although the Feng family doesn't want to bet on our heavenly kingdom, but they have to throw two chips down to buy peace!"

For this kind of thousand-year-old family, it is strange not to throw two chips on the side of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Liu Chang held up Shi Tinglan's Zhuang ticket, exhaled a long breath, smelled the faint Xiu Xiang and said: "I have decided, no matter what happens, you and the eldest sister are..."

"Shonomiya!"

It's just that the next moment, Shi Tinglan and Yang Changmei said in unison: "What is Ye Yudie?"
