What to do?

Xi Zhimo's question made Li Ziyuan slightly stunned, the hand holding the teacup was hanging in the air like this, and when he looked at Zhu Yifeng, a five-fold wave suddenly set off in his heart. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Originally, Li Ziyuan could be said to be helpless to step on this thief ship, but seeing that the marshal swept Huangzhou with a group of newly recruited soldiers, almost completely annihilating the elite "Jiang Family Chu Yong". has made him happy and willing to go down on this boat.

At this time, the arrival of the "Pacific" made him full of hope for the future, which means that the foreign guns and foreign cannons in Shanghai will soon be able to be transported.

Perhaps, this is really an opportunity, thinking that he may become a minister of the dragon, his heart is agitated, and even thinks of the day when he soars to the emperor.

But now, Xi Zhimo's words have shattered all his dreams, the previous one was not a dream, it was simply a fantasy - the Taiping Army is known as the "Hong Yang thief", and now the handsome man has offended the surnamed Yang to death, how is this?

If it is really as he said, this Hong Yang thief broke off Jiang Hang, what should he do then? These foreign guns and cannons can't be brought in, so why should the marshal train the foreign gun team?

Silent!

Just when everyone was silent, Lin Zhiping, who had been silent, raised his lips slightly, although he still didn't know the reason for the past between Dashuai and Hong Yang, but he knew very well that if he didn't save people's hearts at this time, I am afraid that this people's hearts would only be lost because of Xi Zhimo's words.

"Haha......"

There was a burst of laughter at first, only to hear Lin Zhiping snort coldly.

"Joke, this is the biggest joke I've ever heard!"

This laughter, coupled with a mockery, made everyone's hearts retract, and they all looked at Lin Zhiping in surprise, only to see him glance at Xi Zhimo contemptuously.

"Brother Xi only knows that this river navigation can be cut off, but he doesn't know, if the handsome man is willing to go, why can't he bombard all the way with foreign ships and seize the river navigation?"

Because he saw the power of foreign artillery, Lin Zhiping was convinced of foreign artillery.

"When the time comes, it is not that he will cut off the river navigation and block my shipping route, but that this thousand miles of Yangtze River will be allowed to be navigated by our righteous army! If he wants to cross the Yangtze River, he also needs to get permission from the marshal first! ”

His words made Zhu Yifeng immediately realize that he seemed to have neglected something. Yes, ignoring the fleet, maybe the Taiping army has a sailor armed with thousands of boats, but it can have a real fleet itself! Fleet with Western-style warships!

With this fleet, if the big Yangtze River is not allowed to gallop by itself, how can his Taiping army cut off its own route? Not to mention......

"The Forest,"

Zhu Yifeng, who calmed down again, looked at Xi Zhimo, who was choked with an embarrassed face because of Lin Zhiping's words, and said.

"You only heard that I shot Yang Xiuqing at the beginning, but you don't know why I did this!"

Looking at Li Ziyuan and the others, who seemed to be puzzled, at this time, Zhu Yifeng found a reason for himself to bombard Hankou, although his reason was very simple at the beginning - in order to escape from the chaos, in order to vent the anger in his heart, there was no other reason, of course, now he is more willing to explain his original intention with foresight.

"Who did I do business with? If it sounds good, it is the Taiping Army, but if it is bad, it is a group of bandits, robbers, short-sighted to the extreme, and bandits without the slightest foresight! ”

The lack of foresight of the Taiping army has long been proven by history, and from the beginning of its uprising, it has rejected dissidents - that is, there are unbaptized, there are people who are not from Guangdong Province, and even the fierce generals who laid the foundation of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom such as Lin Fengxiang and Luo Gang have also been ostracized, and after they conquered Nanjing, they no longer thought about overthrowing the Manchus, but how to indulge in the prosperity of Jiangnan and how to enjoy the wealth of this world. It can be said that it was the short-sightedness of the Taiping army that ruined their hopes of seizing the world.

Of course, this is not a bad thing for China.

"Dealing with such people, you have to be on guard at all times, just like the surnamed Yang, the front foot just promised to buy our things, and the back foot wants to make money and kill people, for them, they are just a group of robbers who are used to robbing, they are used to robbing, not doing business, just like the place they pass, the "vanguard" is not just robbing? And the shops in Huangzhou City are even more robbed for it, dealing with robbers, how to fight? ”

After a rhetorical question, Zhu Yifeng picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea with a relaxed expression.

"Therefore, we can only deal with them by dealing with robbers, he is ruthless, we must be more ruthless than them, at the beginning, if I just escaped from Hankow, then in Hong Yang's eyes, what is the difference between me and other ordinary merchants who let their flesh and drink? However, the shells we fired at Hankou and the munitions that were blown up are telling them that Lao Tzu is not afraid of you, Lao Tzu is not your meat on the board, and he will never be bullied! It is to give the group of robbers a rule, and tell them that when dealing with Lao Tzu, it is necessary to behave properly, otherwise, the big deal is that the fish will die and the net will be broken! ”

Excuse...... It's all an excuse!

But now these excuses have become Zhu Yifeng's "farsightedness" and the reason for him to open fire.

"Dashuai, you, you still want to do business with them?"

It's just that Li Ziyuan was smart for a while, but he suddenly became confused.

"Yes, of course!"

Regarding Li Ziyuan's question, Zhu Yifeng was not annoyed, but said affirmatively.

"This business must be done, we have coal and iron in Hubei, we will build an arsenal here in the future, when the time comes, in addition to supplying ourselves, we will also sell it to the outside, when the time comes, of course, we must continue to do business with them, after all, if we want to run a business in Hubei, we need a lot of silver, where does this silver come from? It's on these people! It's true that they are robbers, but because they are robbers, they have a lot of silver in their hands! ”

Silver!

This is the most important thing, whether it is training troops or setting up factories, they are inseparable from silver, and they may be able to get Hubei's tax revenue in the future, but with the tax revenue of Hubei alone, how can they let themselves build a large number of buildings here, train the new army, and set up industries. Now after thinking about it for a while, Zhu Yifeng felt that there was no more suitable business object than the Taiping Army, these people grabbed from Guangxi to Jiangsu, and the gold and silver they grabbed along the way were not less than 10 million taels, rather than letting them squander it, it was better to exchange the silver with munitions and turn them into machines in the factory and guns for the army.

"He can use plundering to raise war, why can't we use bandits to raise an army!"

When Zhu Yifeng was proud of his idea, Xi Zhimo, who had been choked with embarrassment before, muttered softly again.

"After all, you almost didn't blow up someone's home, how can you do this business if you want to do it! Perhaps, before the people you sent arrived, they cut them down for others, and what kind of business are they talking about! ”

"Hmmm......"

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Zhu Yifeng looked at Xi Zhimo and became curious, this guy, this character......

"Of course business has to be discussed, of course it has to be done. What can't be done, last time in Hankow, but just to teach him a lesson, let him know, we are not his meat on the board, let him know, we are not the master of letting him fish and meat, as for now...... Of course, we must repair the relationship first, and when the relationship is repaired, we can naturally do business again, you know, now we are not just businessmen, we also have our own fists! ”

This is the most important thing, as a businessman in the past, Yang Xiuqing naturally had no scruples about himself, but now it is different, to be precise, his identity will change in the future.

"When we take over the province of Hubei, it's not that he, Yang Xiuqing, is willing to do business with us, but whether we are willing to deal with him, and then ......."

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Yifeng looked at everyone as if he had thought of something and said.

"As long as Yang Xiuqing is given a step, he naturally knows what to do!"

Steps?

His brows moved slightly, Li Ziyuan, Lin Zhiping, and Xi Zhimo all looked at the handsome man in surprise.

"What do you mean?"

"Humph......"

With a cold smile, Zhu Yifeng looked at Xi Zhimo and asked.

"Zhilin, how many guns are there on board now? I think, go to that Wuchang Mansion to borrow a head! ”
