At the beginning of the tenth year of Xianfeng, Guo Xing'a left Jiangnan, and it is now June of the first year of Tongzhi, and Guo Xing'a and Peter brothers have been separated for more than two years. More than two years is a very long time in this chaotic period, but Brother Peter has not changed much, but it is also a bit weathered.

Peter Jr., who had been a missionary in Shanghai and the surrounding area for two years, remained fanatical, and the results were still tragic, and apart from a few ruffians, he had hardly developed any meaningful followers. Great Peter's experience was tortuous, Guo Xinga killed his main competitor, and settled the payment for him before leaving, so that Great Peter had a wonderful life, and made a lot of black money between the Qing army and the Taiping army.

But as soon as Guo Xing'a, who likes to play white stripes, left, Big Peter's good days came to an end, and the battle situation in Jiangnan took a sharp turn, and Li Xiucheng swept through Suzhou and Hangzhou, and compared them in downtown Shanghai. Big Peter also knew that if Li Xiucheng entered Shanghai, he would definitely not have his good fruit to eat, so he cut off the supply of arms to the Taiping army. It's a pity that the Qing army, which was not angry, was beaten too badly, and couldn't afford to buy Big Peter's arms, and Big Peter had to live a period of sitting and eating nothing. After more than half a year, the Taiping army was finally defeated, but the neutrality of the great powers was also abolished, and countries began to fully assist the Qing army in the form of government exchanges.

As soon as the formal channels are opened, the road of Big Peter, a smuggler, will come to an end, and every transaction is in tens of thousands, and Big Peter, who is making a little trouble, can only cool off on the side. The way to sell to the Taiping army was also completely cut off, and the Qing army and the foreign powers all began to vigorously ban smuggling, and the previous ways of Great Peter were all useless. In the end, Big Peter had no choice but to bid farewell to his smuggling career, and began to engage in transportation, set up a dock in Shanghai, got a few more boats, and began to run to Japan. However, given that Japan is so poor at the moment, Big Peter can't make much money, so he can only barely make ends meet.

So when Ma San, who was wearing eight gold rings and a jade wrench, appeared in front of Big Peter, Big Peter immediately remembered the aristocratic boy who liked to play white stripes. After hearing that Goxinga had a base in the north and wanted to talk to him about business, Big Peter directly threw all the paper fans pulled from Japan into the sea, and personally drove the boat to the northeast. Big Peter is also a bit superstitious, he thinks that as long as he meets Guo Xing'a, he will make money, and this time he will definitely make a fortune. His lovely younger brother, Peter, also boarded a cargo ship bound for the northeast, because Goxinga had promised that Peter Jr. could preach freely in his domain. Little Peter, like Big Peter, was full of Venus, Big Peter saw potentially endless wealth, and Little Peter saw a monopoly market in which he could preach uncontrollably. After all, there were certainly no other missionaries in the far northern interior, and Peter Jr. felt that he could get a million believers alone.

The big ship drove to Yingkou, and then Brother Peter changed into a small boat, and went out of Shengjing and changed to a carriage. Peter the Great became more and more excited, as he discovered that Gohinga's territory was very large, probably larger than the territory of Italy. Little Peter, however, became colder and colder, for he found that the farther north he went, the fewer inhabitants there were, and he suspected that Goxinga was in control of a no-man's land.

After learning that Big Peter came by boat and had his own dock in Shanghai, Guo Xing'a personally met the two brothers who came from afar with a very high standard. Of course, the main thing was to meet Big Peter, who didn't even have a chance to speak, so he was sent aside to eat fruit.

After reminiscing about his old friendships, Gohinga made his first order to Peter the Great to build what is now the largest shipyard in Asia, in Vladivostok. This large project will reach 5 million taels before and after, and the first phase of the technology introduction project will be in charge of Big Peter. Goxinga is willing to recruit world-class designers and shipwrights at twice the market price to complete the design work of the shipyard and the production of the first few batches of boats. Of course, in addition to design and production, they were also obliged to train workers and designers in North Manchuria. Although the follow-up supply industries will be completed by local enterprises in North Manchuria, Guoxinga still gave Big Peter a budget of 500,000 taels in terms of technology introduction, of which 50,000 taels is Big Peter's personal commission. Guo Xing'a is still the old rule, he has a prize for a good job, and if he messes up, he will chase and kill Big Peter's family at the end of the world.

Peter the Great gladly accepted Goshinga's money and threats. He wasn't ready to let down Guo Xing'a, he had seen the elusive killing methods of Guo Xing'a's subordinates, and he knew that he couldn't run at all, and at the same time he knew that he couldn't fool Guo Xing'a, Guo Xing'a seemed to know everything, and some second-tier players would definitely be discovered by Guo Xing'a, so he was ready to complete this task seriously. If it was before, he wouldn't have dared to take this job, because he didn't understand the ship at all. Now it's different, he has been running a ship for more than a year, and he has also built a small dock, and he knows a large number of elites in the industry who can't eat. Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Italy have many excellent designers and shipwrights, and they have recently been starved to death by the powerful empires of Britain, France, the United States, and Germany. And these people not only understand shipyards and ships, but also railways, steam engines, mathematics, and physics, and they must be worth the money, and they will definitely be satisfied with Guoxinga. In addition, Big Peter has a small abacus, he probably knows the price of these guys, and he can earn another 50,000 taels in the budget given by Guo Xing'a. As long as you write some letters and send people to walk around Asia and Europe, you can earn 100,000 taels of good deeds, how can you give up.

Goxinga's best naval base and shipyard are in Lushun, but they have to be reserved for those who study in the UK. Now that there is a small fleet in Heilongjiang, it is a waste to have a natural harbor like Vladivostok empty, so he has to spend five million to test the water. Big Peter just happened to have the resources for this, even if he couldn't build a navy, and he would have to tinker with the river fleet. Moreover, it is possible to engage in shipping and train a group of qualified sailors.

The second business surprised Big Peter, and Guo Xinga no longer asked him to buy things, but asked him to sell things. Goxinga is going to sell the guy he is using, the "monkey version" of flax ammunition Zhongzheng 1 rifle, replaced with * Jinxi guns of various calibers, all on his sales list. Because when the arsenal was being built, the technicians were not idle, and they finally completed the demonstration, and theoretically could mass-produce smokeless*, and also made a formal combination of 98K and medium - Jinxi II five-round magazine smokeless* rifle. The Changchun heavy machine gun, which is based on the 24th heavy machine gun of the People's Republic of China, has also been made as a prototype gun, and the Gu'an Army has completely bid farewell to Gatling. The biggest breakthrough appeared in the artillery, the hydraulic aid retreat experiment was successful, the most familiar 92 infantry gun in Goxinga has produced three sample guns, the experimental effect is very good, and now the experiment has begun to test the retreat components of large-caliber artillery. Guoxing Adu has some weapons of the twentieth century, and all kinds of treasures of the Jinxi style must be vigorously exported for money.

Fooling Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang, naturally Ma San will do it, and Japan Ma San can also radiate, Guo Xinga hopes that the market opened by Big Peter is Europe and the Americas, especially the United States, which is currently in full swing. After seeing the advanced performance of Goxinga's exported weapons, Big Peter agreed without a word. These advanced weapons will definitely sell well in the international arms market, and it is only a matter of time before Peter the Great becomes the world's richest man with them. And this time he didn't have to be a smuggler anymore, Guo Xing'a gave him an official status, he was the official representative of the North Manchurian government, and this kind of monopoly business was best done.

However, when Big Peter was full of ambition to return to Europe, Goxinga made a strange request, Goxinga wanted Big Peter to sell to the southern government of the United States first, and Big Peter wanted to apply for international patents for Goxinga's various products. It is understandable for Big Peter to apply for a patent, after all, this way can make better money, and it can form a technological monopoly, even if Goxinga doesn't remind Big Peter to do this. But why give priority to the sale to the southern government of the United States, Big Peter could not figure it out.

If arms want to make money non-stop, there must be large-scale wars, and the two biggest wars in Goxinga are the endless civil war in China and the civil war in the United States. Guo Xinga can't do anything about instigating a civil war among his compatriots, and if he instigates a civil war in the United States, Guo Xinga will not have any psychological burden. The United States was able to start by selling arms during World War I and World War II, and now it is time for them to pay some interest in advance. The American Civil War was originally a situation in which the North was strong and the South was weak, and if Guo Xinga sold advanced weapons to the North, it would not be long before the war was over, so of course he had to sell them to the South. Only by giving the weak south an advantage in weapons can this war be fought for a long time, and Goxinga's arms business can be easily done.

Moreover, the cotton sellers in the southern part of the United States are quite rich, and even if Big Peter sells it at a high price, they can definitely afford it. At the same time, Guoxinga is not limited to money, advanced machinery and equipment, steel, coal and other materials, as long as it is something that can be used in North Manchuria, everything can be done. Moreover, Goxinga also has a lame leg in the military industry, so Big Peter also has a negotiation task, if the southern government of the United States can transfer their shipyard and related technology to Goxinga, then Goxinga will also build warships for the southern government. Goxinga believes that Big Peter will definitely achieve good results, because the war in the south is not easy, and the coastline is basically blocked by the north, and if there is a distant naval base in Goxinga, they will definitely be willing to accept it. Although Goxinga is more than a month away from the United States, it is at least safe and stable, and it is still good to be a big rear.

Countries around the world still have to take into account the feelings of the northern government and maintain a neutral face, but Goxinga has no such concerns at all. Guo Xinga decided in his heart that the United States is his number one strong enemy in the future, of course, how to respond to people, anyway, the relationship will not be good, what is the use of those vain faces.

The third business was much smaller than the first two, and Goxinga commissioned Big Peter to help him collect a batch of fine stallions all over the world, and Big Peter just did it easily, and did not even negotiate the price.

Calculating the need to hire and recruit those people, and bringing samples of all kinds of munitions, Peter the Great left his brother behind and set sail again to fight for his wealth. Of course, after going to sea, Big Peter once again despised the Chinese. Wherever Chinese go, they like to trust relationships in everything they do, and even people like Guo Xing'a are not exempt. A guy named Chen Sanhe entrusted Guo Xing'a with a lot of special drugs called No. 4 on Big Peter's boat, which is said to be able to treat a variety of diseases including neuropathy, asthma, pneumonia, etc., and it is good to eat. Peter the Great hated these medicines, but for the sake of saving God's face, he brought them to Europe and the Americas.

Soon after, a specific drug appeared in Europe and the Americas that could treat a wide range of diseases. This mysterious medicine from the East has a very good effect, and it soon became popular in Europe and the United States, and many children with bad cough have used this special medicine. However, none of them knew that in North Manchuria, where the drug originated, it was classified as a special contraband, and all private trafficking was punishable by death, except for medical use.
