Hu Xueyan was taken aback, he has always promised to be well-informed, and Wang Youling will notify him as soon as he has any important news, but he didn't expect that this small exchange would have such energy.

Like Lu Ziyun's war in Fujian, the three-masted ship in Panshizhai, such things are already incredible, if the news is more well-informed, wouldn't it be more well-informed than the government.

And such a public bond market, coupled with such a well-informed market, combined with energy beyond his imagination Hu Xueyan: "What is the urgent news at present?" ”

Feng Wenyi said a little proudly: "It's up ninety points today, you know this market!" At least 30 of them are in my receipt, and if this happens, then it will definitely break six! ”

Breaking six is sixty percent of the face value, and now although after such two good news, the market of the entire exchange has broken through five or six, but there is still a considerable distance from the value of sixty percent.

You know, when the market closed yesterday, it was only four into seven, if it broke six, this is the first time in the history of public bonds to break through the sixty percent mark, which is of great significance, and can even make many Taizhou rich people faint excitedly.

"What kind of news can have such weight?" Hu Xueyan immediately asked: "It's a pity that I came late, otherwise I would have gone in to play a hand!" ”

He is a typical Hangzhou businessman, pays attention to political relations, and is also very gambling, and Feng Wenyi told him very mysteriously: "If today's news is completed, then Liu Jiehu will soar to the sky, and this public debt can also rise by sixty percent, and I will also earn more pocket money, if not, I will lose the money I earned, and Liu Jiehu is the situation of Longyou Shoal." ”

As soon as he said this, Hu Xueyan became even more curious, could it be that Liu Jiehu's rainbow army wanted to attack Jinhua Mansion, isn't it! Even if this Jinhua Mansion is taken down, it will only add a little benefit, why not soar to the price of sixty percent.

Just thinking about it, there was already a long follower outside smiling at the underworld, and as soon as the underworld man gave way to the door, this long-term follower walked over quickly and lowered his voice to tell Feng Wenyi the latest news: "There is news from Yuhuan Island, Ye Niangzi and his fleet have gone to sea!" ”

"Out to sea?"

As soon as the chief retreated, Hu Xueyan over there immediately asked, "Go to sea?" Where to go! It's a Baoshun wheel

He has already understood that when Ye Niangzi goes to sea, she must find the Baoshun ship in Ningbo Mansion.

The profit of this Baoshun ship made him blush, and this second-hand Western paddle steamer cargo ship was loaded with two 60-pound rifled guns and sold for a high price of 140,000 taels of silver, God knows how many kickbacks Yang Fang made in this process.

Although he has handled many big deals, he has never been able to make such a lot of money as Yang Fang's business, but now this Baoshun ship, which has not formed combat effectiveness, is indeed the biggest threat to the Hong Army at sea.

According to the rumors he heard in Hangzhou Mansion, He Guiqing intended to let the sailors of Dinghai Town go out to patrol, but these sailors of Dinghai Town had long been accustomed to hiding in the harbor and did not dare to go out to the sea, and even the general soldier cried and said: "Zhongcheng is trying to force us to death!" ”

Don't look at them, they don't go to sea, but they receive the annual cruising expenses correctly, and they also draw tens of thousands of taels of silver from the northern and southern merchants every year for escort fees, but they just don't go to sea and don't dare to fight with pirates.

In this case, this Baoshun ship has become He Guiqing's biggest reliance, although there is a lot of pressure on the center now, and the purchase of steamers by the Chinese is unprecedented, but He Guiqing withstood the pressure, thinking that this ship can not only clear the Beiyang, but also cut off the source of arms purchased by the Hongjun at sea.

Although he was a businessman, he was also interested in dealing in Western steamers, and after carefully discussing the stakes with a foreigner technician, the foreigner told him, "This Baoshun ship alone can bomb the entire Qing Dynasty's sailors to the bottom!" ”…,

He couldn't believe the fact that, as he knew, the ship's firepower seemed to be meager, except that it was equipped with a sixty-pounder rifled cannon at the end of the ship, and then sailors with some Mini rifles firing at the point.

As a result, the foreigner said: "Don't look at the Baoshun ship, there are only two 60-pound rifled guns, but those are 60-pound rifled guns, which are extremely powerful, and none of the Chinese cargo ships and warships along the coast of China can withstand a single shot of these 60-pound guns, that's right!" Even if it doesn't sink with a single shot, it will destroy half a boat! ”

Hu Xueyan later asked someone, and only then did he know that on the current Chinese warships, even if foreign cannons are added, at most some four-pounder, six-pounder, or even two-pounder cannons are at most, and the largest and largest is a twelve-pound cannon.

And what is even more exaggerated is that this Baoshun ship is still powered by a steam engine, rain or shine, the sea waves are like walking on the ground, and when the war is opened, these warships along the coast of China, such as red single boats and rice boats, can not run the steam ship even if they want to run, and what is even worse is that the Baoshun wheel is too dominant in grabbing the position, and can grab the upper hand position casually, even if it can't be beaten, it can also play guerrilla tactics.

The knowledgeable person told Hu Xueyan: "There are only two ways to destroy a steamer like Baoshun, one is to use human lives to pile up and break the paddle wheel, and the other way is that the steam engine will be activated for at least an hour, if you attack before the steam engine is on fire, there is still great hope!" ”

Now thinking of this Baoshun ship, Hu Xueyan couldn't help sighing: "It's good to come a day earlier, how can I transfer tens of thousands of taels of silver to Bo Yibo!" ”

And Feng Wenyi smiled: "It's too late now, let's go out and take a look at the market together!" ”

"Good!" Hu Xueyan immediately learned and sold: "The key to whether Ye Niangzi can win this time is whether Baoshun Wheel can be raised in time!" ”

"yes!" Feng Wenyi said with a smile: "The outcome depends on this!" ”

When he arrived at the trading hall outside, Hu Xueyan sat next to Feng Wenyi, stealing some things from time to time, and after about 30 minutes, the market of public bonds suddenly went down.

Hu Xueyan was puzzled at first, and then saw Feng Wenyi sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, and immediately understood: "This is the news that has spread out!" ”

Compared with these peripheral businessmen, the five strongmen in the first-class seats all got the exact news at least half an hour in advance, so Feng Wenyi was so unfazed.

It's just that the market has been falling, Feng Wenyi said a few words to the underworld, and they began to receive goods in the market, although the market has fallen below 550,000, but this is also a record high, and the risk is very high.

Soon the news came from Ningbo Mansion with carrier pigeons, and the news of the extinction made the entire trading hall shake up: "Ye Niangzi is coming from outside Ningbo Port, and Baoshun Wheel has not yet lit a fire!" ”

This really made the whole trading floor frenzied, and the second half of the news was also exciting: "Some of the Cantons in Buxing are missing, and the Portuguese who have been doing escort business outside the port of Ningbo have disappeared without a trace!" ”

The people in the first class began to talk to each other, and everyone soon understood the truth.

This time to attack the Baoshun wheel, not only the meaning of Ye Niangzi and the Hongjun family, but also the Bu Xingyou and the Portuguese behind it, you must know that as soon as this Baoshun wheel is put into use, it is equivalent to grabbing food in their iron rice bowl.

Bu Xing relied mainly on the income from fishing protection, which was better, but the Portuguese took 750,000 silver yuan a year from the merchants of Ningbo Province, and as soon as the Baoshun ship was opened, their income was reduced by at least one-third.

Therefore, everyone either suddenly realized, or was amazed again and again, Hu Xueyan also said: "Baoshun wheel is too late to raise the fire, it's a pity, it's a pity!" ”

Feng Wenyi was still unfazed, he smiled: "If you can break six today, you can get more pocket money!" ”…,

It may not be that the sixth is broken, but the news from the Ningbo government with carrier pigeons and clippers has made the entire trading floor lively, but about half an hour later, there is really bad news.

A fast boat that delivered news to Taizhou Prefecture was not far from Ningbo Port, and it was found that Buxing's fleet had come back and was just blocked at the gate of Ningbo Port.

It's a two-bird strategy!

First of all, the people in the first-class seats panicked, and then the hall outside was also spreading the news, many people panicked, the market just broke through five or six zero, and then fell all the way, breaking five five and five five and five four one after another, and saw that it was about to rush to five or three folds.

Feng Wenyi was full of momentum, and after getting such clear bad news, he immediately said to the underworld: "If you buy a batch of goods, how much can you collect!" ”

It's just that Feng Wenyi's personal rescue action couldn't save the decline of the entire market, and soon broke through the five-three-fold and five-two folds, and everyone was not optimistic about whether Ye Niangzi could win.

You must know that there are two sixty-pound rifled guns on the Baoshun wheel after all, although the Baoshun wheel has no time to raise the fire, but after all, these two rifled guns are equipped with rotating gun carriages, and Ye Niangzi's fleet will definitely suffer some losses at that time, but when he defeats the Baoshun wheel, he will find that Bu Xingyou will kill them from behind, and Ye Niangzi's fleet will inevitably suffer defeat at that time.

In the end, the only one who benefited was Bu Xingyou, so the market went all the way down, and even May Day was broken, and it was about to fall to more than fifty percent, and Zhejiang Industrial Bank finally made a move, and they began to buy public bonds in the market, trying to maintain the bottom line of fifty percent.

And their chief shopkeeper also came to Feng Wenyi's side in person to express his gratitude to Feng Wenyi: "Feng Dashao, thank you so much today, your righteous act, we Taizhou Industrial Bank all remember it in our hearts!" ”

Just as he was talking, the market fell all the way below fifty percent, and the Industrial Bank couldn't hold on to bailing out the market, the number went down like a flood, and the face of the chief shopkeeper was ugly, but Feng Wenyi still said very calmly: "It's okay, I've been to Taizhou for so many days, which day is not happy to cooperate with you!" ”

"I'm afraid of falling below four or seven!" Zhang Weichao's face became more and more difficult to look at: "Yesterday's closing was four seven!" ”

It's just that as soon as he said this, Hu Xueyan, who had been observing the market over there, said: "Feng Ershao, can I also take some money out of the market?" "Min
