Chapter 529: Chen Yuhan's Actions and Tao Min's Plans
The three-day opening ceremony is over, and the number of people who come to visit the exhibition hall has gradually decreased, but the enthusiasm of each merchant has gradually risen, and each merchant is negotiating his own business with other merchants.
Sun Tianhao reported the situation of the first three days to Qin Songwang in a timely manner.
"The turnover in the first three days should be between 100,000 and 200,000 taels, mainly commodities that have been traded before, and we have no orders for new commodities."
"How can there be such a big difference, a difference of 100,000 taels." Qin Songwang asked, "Don't you have accurate statistics?" β
"Chairman Qin." Sun Tianhao said with a smile, "Our Qiong Fair is tax-free, and there is no need to declare to the customs and tax bureaus, people's orders and sales are trade secrets, and we don't want to ask in detail, these data are estimated." β
"Hmm." Qin Songwang asked again, "Then don't we have an order for the things that our Industrial Bureau has made out by itself?" β
"I can't say no." Sun Tianhao took out a statistical table, "One sewing machine was ordered, one flush toilet, and twenty pencils." β
"You wait, you wait." Qin Songwang was confused by Sun Tianhao, "How can this be one by one, whoever is idle will order one." β
"It's really none other than your daughter-in-law, Blue Phoenix." Sun Tianhao said with a smile, "She basically wants one for everything, if we hadn't stopped her, she would have even wanted a street lamp and a printing press." β
"Phoenix." Qin Songwang's head was a little big, "How much is it in total, has she paid the bill?" β
Sun Tianhao looked at the bill, and put the bill in front of Qin Songwang: "It's seven hundred and twenty taels in total, and she asked us to find you to settle the bill." I'll give you a discount, you just give seven hundred taels. β
"Seven hundred taels, this is almost enough to buy a house. This loserγγγγγγ Qin Songwang swallowed his saliva and swallowed the two words behind him.
"I'm not kidding you, but this bill is real, and this one didn't lie to you." Sun Tianhao pointed to the bill and said, "Although there are no orders for our new products yet, many merchants have expressed their intentions, especially Westerners are very interested." I estimate that when the Qiong Fair is over, all the trade volume will reach almost one million taels, and our products can account for a share of 30 to 400,000 taels. β
"How many of them?" Qin Songwang was also interested, "If there are so many transactions in one Qiong Fair, then how much silver will we have to hold a few more sessions every year." β
"This can't be." Sun Tianhao said with a smile, "When do you think it is now, from ordering to stocking, to delivery, there is no one or two years that can't be done." But I do have a plan, let's fix the time of the meeting with Joan, just from the end of October to the end of the year at the end of each year, once a year. The rest of the time, the exhibition hall will really be an exhibition center and a museum, and whoever has any new things and new products can be exhibited there. Then let's do publicity, and in the future, all merchants who come to Yulin Bay can take a free trip to the exhibition hall to see. β
"That's a good idea." Qin Songwang said, "In this way, we can achieve long-term publicity." Write a report and the committee will approve it. β
It was the end of November, and there had been two heavy snowfalls in Heilongjiang, and the snow on the ground could reach knees.
The fire raged in the small tun where Chen Yuhan sneaked up, and the three houses full of people were all set on fire, and the cries inside rang out. But no one went to put out the fire, Chen Yuhan led four brothers with bows and arrows and big knives to stand in front of the house like a fierce look. The Han people gathered around didn't know what these five people were doing or where they came from, everyone looked at Chen Yuhan silently, but no one moved, no one asked.
Chen Yuhan waited for more than a month and finally waited for an opportunity. In the middle of the night, they entered the tun and blocked the door with various things, and a large fire was set in all three rooms at the same time. A few Manchurians who wanted to run out were ruthlessly shot to the ground by Chen Yuhan.
The shouting gradually subsided, Chen Yuhan used to know some Chinese, and after staying with his four brothers for a long time, he spoke Chinese better and better.
Chen Yuhan looked at the slightly shiny sky, and said loudly in Chinese: "Fellow villagers, my name is Chen Yuhan, and I am also Han. My family was victimized by Aisin Jueluo, and so were my brothers, so we joined forces to take revenge on Aisin Jueluo. It's as simple as that, and there's no big reason to say. You are all Han Chinese, and you are usually oppressed by the Manchurians, and if you are willing to do anything with me, we will accept it, and if you are not willing to do it with us, we will not force it. β
No one answered Chen Yuhan's question, and the second child shouted from behind: "Why don't you speak, my eldest brother asks you, are you willing to continue to be a slave of the Manchurians or are you willing to follow us to rebel against the Manchurians." β
An old man in the crowd came out and saluted Chen Yuhan: "This strong man, we don't want to be oppressed by the Manchurians anymore. But those Manchurians are like wolves, and there are only five of you now, even if we promise strong men, how can we fight them. β
Chen Yuhan stepped forward and said, "Old man, there are five of us here, but elsewhere, we still have people. And as long as we have one heart, as long as we can resolutely resist, we will definitely succeed. β
The old man looked at Chen Yuhan and stopped talking.
Chen Yuhan knew that it was useless to say more now, anyway, now that the snow is closing the mountain, these people can't get out. So they let each of them go home, and the five of them found a house that had not been burned down and cleaned up and lived in.
After several days of investigation, there are currently 11 families in this tunzi, 24 young and strong, 34 old and young, and women, a total of 58 people, all of whom are Han Chinese.
There is still a lot of grain in the tunzi, because the three Manchurians are all dead, so there is no problem in holding on until the beginning of spring. Chen Yuhan remembered a sentence that Ji Tonghai gave him at the beginning: "If you want to strengthen yourself, recovering people's hearts is the first thing." β
Chen Yuhan collected all the grain in the tunzi, and each family implemented a rationing system. At the same time, he spent several days visiting from house to house, showing these Han people their physical scars and their determination to fight against the Manchus.
After more than half a month of hard work, ten people finally expressed their willingness to work with Chen Yuhan one after another. Of course, Chen Yuhan knew that some of them were not sincere, but expedient. But Chen Yuhan didn't care about it, and accepted it all, because he knew that as long as he used these people to attack a Manchurian tunzi again, as long as he had Manchurian blood on his hands, he would have to do it if he didn't do it.
Chen Yuhan organized these ten people and began to train every day together with his four brothers. Chen Yuhan has seen the training of the fast gun team, although he hates Aixin Jueluo from the bottom of his heart, he still has a good impression of Tao Min, Tao Gong and the fast gun team. The Tao Min brothers also took care of themselves, and Tao Gong saved his life. If he hadn't stopped the whipping, he might have died at the hands of Zilharang.
In particular, Chen Yuhan felt that the training method of the fast gun team was very effective, although he did not have a firearm now, but if he could organize these fourteen people to form a strong-willed group, then his fifteen people could completely defeat twenty or thirty Manchurians. Didn't Nurhachi also raise troops in thirteen pairs of armor back then, and finally unified Manchuria.
Chen Yuhan called the fourth and fifth children into the house alone: "The fourth and fifth children, now that the snow is covering the mountain, can you go out?" β
The two of them didn't know what Chen Yuhan's plans were, and the fourth asked: "Big brother, what arrangements do you have to order, although it is difficult to go out now, it doesn't mean that you will not be able to get out." β
"Okay." Chen Yuhan said, "We have been training for a certain number of days, and it's time to test the results." The two brothers will go and inquire again to see if there is a suitable place, and we will go and get him again. β
"Big brother." Lao Wu was a little skeptical, "In this weather, even if our brothers find a suitable place and our sneak attack is successful, we can't bring anything back." β
"We don't need to bring anything back." Chen Yuhan said, "We took these ten people out this time, and if we can come back, we will come back, and we don't necessarily have to come back if we can't come back." If they don't have some Manchurian blood on their hands, it is difficult to say what will happen once the spring thaws. β
The fourth and fifth children both understood: "Don't worry, big brother, our brother will definitely bring back good news." β
Tao Min and Tao Gong stood in the shipyard in Nampo and looked at the four warships that were working day and night. Tao Min took advantage of the absence of the fleet in Yulin Bay to capture Phi Island and capture thousands of Ming sailors. It was at this time that Tao Min received information from Xie Tian that Yulin Bay was reorganizing and expanding the army and navy, and the movements were unknown.
Tao Min gave the two Dutchmen a death order to complete the construction and launch of the four warships before the end of the year. Tao Min feels that Yulin Bay may have a big move, and this action is likely to be aimed at Nanpu or Lushun, or Japan, Yulin Bay may have to take down Japan before him.
No matter what the purpose of Yulin Bay is, he now only has six warships in his hands, which is far from enough. If these four warships can be launched again, even if their strength still can't catch up with Yulin Bay, they can still fight against them for a while.
really let Xu Lang guess correctly, during this time, Tao Min trumpeted nationalist things in North Korea, and publicized how North Korea was invaded by Japan in history. This kind of propaganda aroused the hatred of the Koreans against the Japanese, and Tao Min lost no time in declaring that he was going to attack Japan, and the enthusiasm of the Koreans to join the army was aroused, and now the strength of the new Korean army has reached more than 80,000 people, even comparable to the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Tao Gong reminded his brother that the North Korean conference made Huang Taiji suspicious. But Tao Min replied to his younger brother with a sneer: "Huang Taiji? As long as we take Japan, maybe I can consider giving him a county king. β
After inspecting the shipyard, the Tao Min brothers returned to the Nanpu barracks, where a sergeant brought in a letter they had just received.
Tao Min opened it and fell into deep thought: "Yulin Bay and the Vietnamese troops are changing guards, why do they want to change the Vietnamese army to Yulin Bay." β
Tao Gong finished reading the information sent back by Xie Tian, but he didn't understand his brother's doubts: "Brother, didn't we say the information we sent back from the inside line of Yulin Bay last time, their change of guard this time is a normal transfer." They often change guards, wasn't that how we were when we were in Yulin Bay? β
Tao Min smiled: "Brother, do you think our two insiders in that batch of prisoners of war are still reliable, Wang Hua is not a vegetarian." β
After Tao Min finished speaking, he ignored his younger brother's confusion and continued to talk to himself: "Yulin Bay and Vietnam have changed guards, and the number of people is not equal. It is easy to understand if the number of people transferred from Vietnam to Yulin Bay is large, but why is there a large number of people transferred from Yulin Bay to Vietnam? β
"Maybe Vietnam is going to fight again, haven't South Vietnam and North Vietnam been fighting?" Tao Gong's casual words suddenly reminded Tao Min, "Yes, you are very right, Vietnam is going to war." But it was not South Vietnam and North Vietnam that fought, but Yulin Bay to conquer Vietnam. β
"Yulin Bay wants to conquer Vietnam?" Tao Gong looked at his brother dumbfounded.
"Brother, you want to." Tao Min explained, "Yulin Bay has infiltrated Vietnam for five or six years, and now the population of the entire Hainan Island is only 300,000 or 400,000, and they can only recruit 30,000 troops at most. So they have been fighting us almost every year over the years, but they can't destroy us every year. But Vietnam is different, with a population base of more than 1 million in North Vietnam alone. If Yulin Bay controls Vietnam, they will be able to expand their army to 780,000 or even 100,000, plus their warships and rifled guns, and our life will not be easy. The reason why we came to North Korea back then, and we wanted to come to North Korea for land reform, was actually because of the population base of North Korea? β
"Brother, what should we do?" Tao Gong somewhat understood, "We can't let Yulin Bay defeat Vietnam." β
"You make me think about it."
Tao Min walked around the room a few times, opened a map of Southeast Asia and looked at it: "Brother, immediately arrange someone to do these things." First, send a message to North Vietnam and South Vietnam at the same time, saying that Yulin Bay will attack with all its might, and it is best to suggest that they join forces to deal with Yulin Bay. β
"Okay, I got it." Tao Gong replied.
"Don't worry, come and see." Tao Min pointed to the map and said to Tao Gong, "Xie Tian's intelligence says that the location of the Yulin Bay army's change of guard is Jinpu and Puliange. Let's ignore Brother Pulian for now, I guess Yulin Bay will definitely gather heavy troops in Jinpu, and then advance by land and water to attack Shenglong Mansion. Jinpu is only more than 300 miles away from Thang Long Mansion, and their warships can arrive in a day or two, while the army will arrive at most ten days even if they are fighting and walking, and they will definitely be caught off guard by Zheng Jie. So let's make this important and Zheng Jie clear. β
