When De Mons thought of these trivial matters, the more he thought about it, the more upset he became, he didn't just care about the economic loss of one or two thousand silver yuan, but more about the meaning behind it.

Among the Western businessmen in Shanghai, he is the most deeply integrated with the Hongjun, and his interests are also the most closely related, and the Hongjun only has the wind and grass, and he has the feeling of an earthquake here, not to mention that now is the time when he has reached a bottleneck period of development, and he always wants to find a way to break through.

Whether it is time to show his face at the public bond exchange, and then collect some public bonds and come back, and then spread some good news, De Mons hesitated, but still did not decide.

At this time, someone knocked on his door, and then someone said, "Mr. Hu Xueyan is here!" ”

"Let him in!"

For Hu Xueyan, who is very mixed in the Shanghai Chinese community, De Mengs is angry, this kid is not authentic, and he is always unreliable when he is healthy, he just wanted to train a few words, but found that Hu Xueyan had a look of envy on his face.

This is a good thing, and De Mons immediately asked, "How much public debt did you collect today?" ”

"Your Majesty wants to see you!" Hu Xueyan's next sentence almost knocked De Mons unconscious.

"Your Majesty? Checkpoint? ”

De Mons is still used to calling Liu Chang's old position, Hu Xueyan nodded: "Send me a notice over there, let you rent out the world immediately, there is an arrangement over there!" ”

"Your Majesty has come to Shanghai?"

At this time, De Mons was even more shocked, he knew that although Liu Chang was the most knowledgeable person in the whole of China, he was not willing to be too influenced by the West, and he did not have the idea of believing in Christianity, so he decided to make Hangzhou the capital, so as not to be excessively influenced by Westerners.

Therefore, His Majesty has never left Hangzhou City, but today's situation shocked him, and he couldn't help but panic a little in his heart.

This Russian invasion is really like Mount Tai pressing on the top, and even Liu Jihu can't sit still.

Just thinking about it, his face was still very calm: "Where is Your Majesty?" ”

Hu Xueyan still had a look of envy on his face. This Dutchman is closer to Liu Chang than himself: "There will be arrangements when you leave the concession, don't forget to say a few good words for me when the time comes!" ”

"Very good, very good!" De Mons didn't even tie the tie that he tore off, so he followed Hu Xueyan out of the concession directly.

Usually, a big man like him rents out the world, at least a dozen entourages are arranged, but today he didn't bring a single entourage, and after leaving the concession, he even got into a carriage. He was directly blindfolded, walked around the city of Shanghai a few times, and finally arrived at the location, and the two guards tore off the hood on his head: "Mr. De Mons, please go inside!" ”

When De Mons arrived at this big mansion, he confirmed that it was indeed Liu Chang who had arrived in Shanghai unknowingly. Because the security of the perimeter is the responsibility of the armed guards, but the security of the inner circle is a group of female internal guards: "Where is Your Majesty!" ”

He remembered that his appearance was not very good, and he didn't clean up much, so he took off his suit directly, put it in his hand, put on a white shirt for the guards to check, and then walked in under the guidance of a female officer: "How is Your Majesty's body?" ”

"I'm fine!" Liu Chang and De Mons haven't seen each other for several days, let alone such a private meeting, Liu Chang directly shook De Mons' hand: "You all go out." It's a matter between men! ”

De Mons was also in a happy mood, the previous pessimistic disappointment disappeared at once, among the foreigners in Shanghai, who else has such qualifications, you must know that this is not as simple as meeting him, but Liu Chang is ready to have a long talk with him.

Now, even high-ranking cadres at the level of overseers often do not have such convenience: "Your Majesty came to me for the matter of the public bond market, right?" I've prepared hundreds of thousands of silver yuan, if not enough. borrowed hundreds of thousands of silver dollars from the British. We must hold up the market of public bonds! ”

Liu Chang beckoned him to sit down, and the two of them sat on the chair. Talking at length: "The matter of public debt is not in a hurry, the market is not too bad, as long as the battle is won, it will naturally pick up, and now there is an urgent matter for you to do!" ”

"Your Majesty, please command, as long as I, Demons, can do it, I will definitely die!" De Mons is now fluent in Chinese: "But the problem of money and food? ”

"It's not!" Liu Chang told De Mons: "I came to you this time to let you do your old business again!" ”

"Munitions?" Demons had a bad premonition: "What kind of arms do you need now?" ”

"It's arms smuggling!" Liu Chang told De Mons: "What is the convenient way in Russian Poland? ”

De Mons is completely blind: "Poland? Poland? ”

Although he is engaged in arms smuggling, it is a completely new field for De Mons: "What kind of arms do you want to smuggle?" Is it a long gun or a short gun? Is there any gunpowder? How many goods to go at once! ”

Liu Chang also told him the truth without scruples: "Although Russia wants to set me a fire, I can only put a fire in their backyard, and this smuggling is at the request of the Poles." ”

Strictly speaking, Liu Chang's special war against Russia has been going on for a year, but for Liu Chang, there are too many inconveniences, after all, he does not have such a talent who can speak Russian, even if he sends intelligence personnel to infiltrate Russia, it is very difficult to get results, not to mention that the main thing now is the domestic situation.

Fortunately, a large number of Russian prisoners were taken in the war against Russia a year ago, and not all of these prisoners were ethnic Russians, including Poles, Caucasians, Mongols, and a small number of ethnic brigades of all kinds.

The focus of the work is on the Poles, and the Russian Poland of this time and space can be said to be the most elite part of the entire Russian Empire, and the Russian Tsar has implemented a special policy, that is, there is no need to pay customs duties in economic exchanges between Tsarist Russia and Russian Poland, although this policy is anti-Polish national, but it is to promote the development of the Polish economy, and the whole Poland has become the most advanced and developed industrial area in the entire Russian Empire.

In the following period, Poland's industrial areas had a special significance for the Russian-Soviet Union, and Konev mentioned in his memoirs that Stalin pointed to the Silesian industrial region on the map, saying that this was a real treasure land, and that it would be better for the German troops in Silesia to escape than to preserve this industrial area, and the Soviet jokes were even more jokes about Soviet foreign aid and Polish production.

Without the Crimean War, Poland's Russification might have been successful, but the Crimean War excited the Poles, who were enjoying economic development, and who were already preparing for a war of independence to restore the Napoleonic era to its glory and glory.

Historically, this is the famous Polish Revolution of 1863, an anti-Russian uprising full of divisions, infighting, and ugliness from the beginning, but for Liu Chang in 1858, this revolution came too late and had to be born by him.

As for how many Poles will die in this early Polish revolution, or what unpredictable consequences will be caused, Liu Chang doesn't care, as long as there is chaos in Russia, it is based on this consideration that Liu Chang found thirteen Poles captured by the Russian army, and the next step was to successfully train six agents sent back to Poland, and a team of agents temporarily sent to Vienna was in charge.

Although the Imperial Russian secret police were famous throughout the Tsarist era, they were not very efficient, not to mention the honeymoon period between Tsarist Russia and Russian Poland, and the whole of Poland was in a relaxed atmosphere, so this field operation obtained unexpected information.

According to secret telegrams sent by the secret agents from Vienna, up to now, although a few of the downlines have been sabotaged or suspected, there is an anti-Russian sentiment throughout Poland, and the Poles with a sense of superiority often speak of how to get rid of the control of the barbarians in the East, who already have dozens of loyal backbones and hundreds of periphery, and who are constantly developing every month, and who have also gained contact with the Polish upper echelons.

But according to their observations, the Polish upper echelons have now been divided into the Red Party and the White Party, although both have anti-Russian sentiments, but the two factions attack each other, and there is a great style of absolute democracy in the history of the Poles - Poland before its decline, but it has a tradition of absolute democracy, that is, the famous one-vote veto rate, as long as one of the nobles present at the meeting does not agree, then the resolution passed by the entire Council of Nobles is completely null and void.

Moreover, these Polish elites, whether White or Red, were a group of untrustworthy people, who made incredible demands on Vienna as soon as they opened their mouths, and Liu Chang read these surprisingly large numbers to De Mons: "We need 1,600 military instructors, 80,000 Mini rifles, 7,400 cavalry guns, 600 cannons, 7,000 barrels of gunpowder...... Well, and seven .6 million pounds in financial support! ”

De Mons immediately replied: "If we had so many resources, we could have crossed the Russians, or even sent them back to Moscow, these lovely Poles!" ”

The Poles are more than cute, Liu Chang told De Mons: "Count De Mons, this is just a list of aid sent to us by the White Party, and there is another ...... sent by the Red Party"

"A group of Adou who can't be helped!" De Mons had great hopes for the Poles, but now he could only say, "You won't really let me smuggle arms to these lovely Poles, will you?" ”

Liu Chang said happily: "I came to you to prepare to do this, I don't need Poland's independence and freedom, all I need is a revolution, Your Excellency De Mons, what do you think?" ”

De Mons likes Liu Chang's frankness: "You're right, we don't care about Poland's independence, freedom, democracy or anything, we just want to see Russia's defeat, but first I need a lot of money!" ”
