Young Master Meng thought about it, what Xuan Zonglu said also made sense, if Xuanzong showed up, it would be clear that he would tell the Qing court and the Koreans that this Danzhou belongs to the Xuan family, so what is it? The current power is not enough for a showdown. "You don't have to come forward openly, I can contact the senior officials of the North Koreans first, and you can contact them privately!"www.biquge.info Danzhou's current strength is still too weak, I am worried that it is useless, if you, the governor of Liaoning, are the intermediary, you should be able to reach a certain type of secret agreement. ”

Xuan Zonglu smiled and said to Young Master Meng: "You, you're just too anxious, you're so anxious to have a relationship with the North Koreans?" Can't you let your grandfather live a few quiet days? ”

Young Master Meng frowned, Xuan Zonglu has no sense of urgency! "Do you think that if I don't develop, your position as the governor of Liaoning will be stable? Don't forget, we don't have a backer! The situation in the Northeast is so chaotic again, when the time comes, once this General Shengjing and General Ruilian find out that Danzhou is under my control, you, the governor, are afraid that you will be squeezed out. ”

Xuan Zonglu nodded and said: "Okay, I know, you can do it, you can contact the North Koreans privately first, but be cautious, I think you can slow down first." ”

Young Master Meng snorted, "I'm not in a hurry, what is going on?" With my current strength, it is difficult to even keep the colony, let alone expand by force, I want to get in touch as soon as possible, finalize the trade matter as soon as possible, and speed up the development, you can rest assured, I will depend on the situation. ”

Xuanzong Luqi said: "Yue Meng, do you want to go to North Korea by yourself?" North Korea is very chaotic! The Great Qing Kingdom is said to be the suzerainty of North Korea, but in fact, there is not much contact, but every time the North Koreans have something, they come to the Great Qing Kingdom. ”

Young Master Meng nodded and said: "I know, you don't have to worry about me, I will let people go once as an envoy, just to take a look, have a preliminary contact, and I will look at the situation." ”

Xuanzong Lu saw that Yue Meng had already made up his mind, knowing that his little grandson was a person who would do what he said, and it was useless to persuade him, so he let Yue Meng rest for two more days.

Young Master Meng proposed to Xuan Zonglu to form a cavalry battalion and asked Xuan Zonglu to provide help in purchasing horses, and Xuan Zonglu agreed.

Young Master Meng has his own office in Shengjing, as long as he has money, there is no problem in buying supplies, the key is that war horses are not ordinary materials, and it is not possible without Xuan Zonglu's help, to form a cavalry battalion, at least five hundred or so war horses, without a more than a year of effort, it is not possible at all.

The vigor of planning everything from scratch has passed all of a sudden, and Young Master Meng is left in a hurry now, and he can't wait to have a strong military strength tomorrow, and whoever he can't get used to will be destroyed!

Comrade Young Master Meng was angry with a few bandits.

In ancient times, trade was so inconvenient that if you could do business directly with the Mongols, it would not take you a year.

Another day, Young Master Meng and Qiu Yun, Princess Katrina Kafu walked around Shengjing, Young Master Meng was in no mood to hang out because he had something on his mind, so he asked Xuan Zonglu not to disturb the Shengjing barracks, but just sent a horse team composed of soldiers from the governor's yamen to go back.

This time, a total of more than 30 war horses were purchased, and Young Master Meng also had his own carriage.

All the way back, it was very peaceful, and I didn't encounter bandits again.

As soon as he returned to Danzhou, Young Master Meng immediately asked Prince Richard Harris to go to Pyongyang with a few foreign members of the foreign bank first, and sent a request to the North Korean royal family to establish a consulate and establish diplomatic relations.

I found the locals to understand the situation of the bandits, there are three main bandits in this area, they knocked out one this time, there are still two left, the total number of bandits is about 1,000 people, the bounce is very large, the key bandits are easy to recruit!

In half a month, two more groups of transport ships sent people and materials, and with more and more people, the whole Danzhou gradually became vibrant.

But large building materials, either need to be ordered from overseas, or can only be transported from the customs by land first, very troublesome, the construction progress of Danzhou Port is very slow, which makes Master Meng very anxious, if you can build an iron bridge, you can make North Korea's manpower flow to Danzhou, but also make the transportation route greatly shortened, can be transported from the Dading River in North Korea!

Young Master Meng is anxious to establish contact with North Korea!

Master Meng doesn't have much time, his plan is to charter a boat to go to the Americas in April, and it's already early March!

Various construction sites in Danzhou are in full swing!

Mainly Zhao Qingluo is fully responsible, the things above the project, Catherine assists Zhao Qingluo to deal with it, Dazhi and Dali, Xuan Yuewen and others run back and forth, both are responsible, mainly to do a lot of manpower and material coordination work.

"Young master, otherwise, let's go to North Korea first, right? Whoever tents all day long, I'm worried that the young master's body can't bear it. Although it has entered March, it is still cold in the north, Qiu Yun asked Young Master Meng worriedly, "Young Master, how is it?" ”

Young Master Meng sighed, put his arm, and looked outside, his tent was on a newly arranged high platform in the military fortress of Danzhou Port, which was convenient for Young Master Meng to observe the whole picture of the large and small construction sites near the entire Danzhou Port, "Let's wait for Prince Richard Harris to send back a message!" If you don't hear from you today, you'll leave tomorrow for the Dajeonggang and then by land to Pyongyang! ”

Princess Katrina Kafu couldn't understand Chinese, so she could only use the most basic words with Qiu Yun and the two of them to do simple communication, and looked at Young Master Meng inquiringly.

Young Master Meng said the meaning just now in English again.

Princess Katrina Kaaf clapped her hands, "Okay, I don't know how my brother went to talk, I have also carefully read the news about the North Korean side that I have collected in the past few days, it seems that this matter is difficult!" With the exception of Japan and the Qing Dynasty, North Korea does not buy Western accounts. ”

Young Master Meng nodded, the North Koreans are still very appreciative of Young Master Meng, no matter how domineering the powers are, they just can't pry open the door of North Korea, however, North Korea is very barren, and there is a certain relationship, if North Korea is rich in land and resources, and the standard of living is very high, the great powers will definitely blow up with heavy troops, this is not the era when you want to not establish diplomatic relations!

The Great Qing Kingdom was even more closed at the beginning, and the doors were not forced to open one by one.

The next day, Prince Richard Harris sent back the news that the North Korean royal family had rejected his request for the establishment of diplomatic relations!

Young Master Meng was surprised, and decided to go to North Korea to take a look, this wild and small country is really troublesome! And if Young Master Meng wants to develop, he can't do without the desire to possess this land! Only by swallowing North Korea can we provide enough manpower and material resources for Young Master Meng, and at least, gradually exercise control over North Korea. (To be continued.) )
