The man known as "Ah San" walked in, and the shopkeeper said to him, "Take five people, put up a carriage, and go to the Aston Hotel to bring back all the people and goods there." ”

"Who are we looking for?" Ah San asked.

Gu Dajiu interjected: "His name is Li Guo, if you take him with you, he will tell you what to do." ”

The shopkeeper said to Ah San: "You just obey the command of this Li Guo, go and come back quickly!" ”

After Li Guo and Ah San went out, Gu Dajiu said to the shopkeeper: "Our task is to find out the situation of all the Dutch warships in Madavia, to find out the performance, name, firepower configuration of each ship, their navigation rules, to find out when they are anchored in the harbor, when to escort, at the same time, we also need to find out the water depth, water temperature and other hydrological data of Batavia Port, and we will report to our naval command center at any time through the transmitter." ”

The shopkeeper said, "It's a huge amount of work. ”

Gu Dajiu said: "Don't worry, take your time, we still have time." ”

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and said, "Business in our store has not been good lately, and everyone under our staff has to eat. ”

Gu Dajiu said: "What we brought this time are all valuable goods, and these goods will be handed over to you to sell as funds for this event." ”

After all, the shopkeeper is in business, and he asks uneasily, "What is the value of the goods?" ”

Gu Dajiu said: "At least more than 100,000 silver coins." ”

The shopkeeper heard his mouth open wide.

In fact, Gu Dajiu is not familiar with the laws of the trade market, you put a stained glass ball on the market, rare is expensive, of course people will pay a high price to buy, when you have a large number of such goods for sale, naturally you can't sell at such a high price.

Later, the facts proved this rule, fortunately, the price was not very low, Xinglong grocery store sold all the colored glass balls for an average of 200 silver coins, plus other glass crafts, a total of more than 30,000 silver coins for the event, which is already a lot of money. And Gu Dajiu's six hundred silver coins were not used up until the Dutch were driven away.

The person sent to the hotel soon returned, Gu Dajiu handed over more than a dozen boxes of goods to the shopkeeper, he took the bulletin machine, and sent the first telegram to Tian Qiliang.

……

After Tian Qiliang received the telegram sent back by the detachment, he came to the small villa in Gao Junshan and reported to him.

Gao Junshan took the telegram and said happily: "After they have figured out the specific situation of the Dutch, you will formulate a set of plans." ”

Tian Qiliang asked: "Mountain Chief, when will we start attacking Batavia?" ”

Gao Junshan said: "It's up to the British, we have to be consistent with them in action." ”

"Understood."

At this time, Li Derong shouted a report outside the door, and Gao Junshan asked him to come in.

"Your Majesty, telegraph." Li Derong sent a telegram in.

Gao Junshan took the telegram and said to Tian Qiliang: "You go and get busy!" ”

Tian Qiliang saluted and withdrew.

Gao Junshan unfolded the telegram, and it was sent from England by his eldest son, Gao Hongbing, and the British hoped that Huaxia could train their navy.

Gao Junshan thought that this could be done, training the navy for the British; First, it can better strengthen the ability of the two countries to cooperate in future naval battles. secondly, it was possible to train the British in the personnel of the steam engine battleships, so that they could adapt to the combat mode of fast warships as soon as possible; Third, it can enhance the understanding and friendship between the navies of the two countries and lay the foundation for in-depth cooperation in the future.

So he came to the newspaper office in person and sent a return call to Gao Hongbing, which read as follows:

The call has been received. It is agreed that you will train the navy for the British, but you must not teach them the knowledge of telegraph codes, flag language, light language, etc., and you must not teach them the knowledge of science and technology.

Other; Cao Minghao has already assembled an army of immigrants, about 30,000 people, ready to take twenty 3,000-ton steam engine steamships, to go to you, their final destination is New Amsterdam in the Americas, this is the first batch of Chinese immigrants to the Americas, after arriving in London, you must settle them properly, as for the next arrangement of this group of immigrants, wait for my will.

After the telegram was sent, Gao Junshan summoned Mayor Cao Minghao again.

Cao Minghao is the son of Cao Wenzhao and the current mayor of Yangon, he received the imperial decree from Gao Junshan and rushed to the villa as soon as possible.

"Chief, students are here to report!" Cao Minghao said as soon as he entered the door.

Gao Junshan smiled: "Sit down!" Sit down! Drink a cup of tea, you see the tea has already been brewed for you. ”

"Thank you, Chief!"

Gao Junshan waited for Cao Minghao to sit down before asking, "Did the ship that sent the immigrants leave?" ”

"Not yet." Cao Minghao replied, "Because there are so many people who want to go that twenty ships cannot fit in, we only need to transfer five new 3,000-ton ships and two 5,000-ton ships from the shipyard." ”

Gao Junshan said: "You do more work to explain to the immigrants, this is the first batch to go to the Americas, and there will be many batches of ships to the Americas in the future, and there are opportunities to make money." ”

Cao Minghao said: "These people are afraid that they will not be able to catch gold if they go late, and it is difficult for us to persuade them, so it is helpless to increase the number of ships." ”

Gao Junshan smiled: "Who told you to go around and say that the Americas are full of gold? ”

Cao Minghao asked: "Is there really gold in America?" ”

Gao Junshan said: "The Netherlands and Spain, which were the first to rise in navigation, have made a lot of money, and now that our navy has also developed, shouldn't it be our Chinese people who go out to enclose land?" ”

"Should, should."

Gao Junshan greeted Cao Minghao and said, "Come and have a look." ”

He unfolded a world nautical chart on the table, and Cao Minghao stepped forward to examine it.

The nautical chart in Gao Junshan's hand is the most detailed nautical chart, and it is also the most confidential nautical chart, and the other copied nautical charts are not as detailed as this one, and he can show it to Cao Minghao, which shows that he has full trust in Cao Minghao.

Gao Junshan pointed to the United Kingdom on the map and said to Cao Minghao: "This is Britain, Dabao They are in this position now, the first batch of immigrants you organized will transport them to Britain first, and after the Anglo-Dutch war starts, Dabao will lead four battleships across the Atlantic Ocean and arrive in the Americas, ending the Dutch New Amsterdam in North America." ”

Cao Minghao can also read maps, and when he was in geography class, Gao Junshan told them. So he asked, "How can logistics be supplied over such a long distance?" ”
