Chapter 37: Huang. Woe to you
Yan Xueyi's wedding date has been set, March 16, that is to say, Yan Xueyi will get married in less than half a year. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, Yan Xueyi is not ready, Yan Xueyi has not been married in his previous life for nearly thirty years, and he is going to get married at the age of 17 in this life, this is really "the first time a big girl is on a sedan chair", Yan Xueyi was unconsciously a little scared in his heart, and discussed with the clan elders several times to postpone the marriage, but was unanimously rejected by the clan elders, Yan Xueyi wanted to cry without tears, as if he was suffering from "marriage phobia".
However, there is also good news, in order to let Yan Xueyi get married with peace of mind, the clan elders unanimously decided that Yan Xueyi would hand over the entire Yan family to Yan Xueyi after he got married, and they would be able to live for a long time.
Well, this news is not bad for Yan Xueyi, although Yan Xueyi has been able to mobilize part of the strength of the Yan family, but the Yan family is now a well-known wealthy businessman in the country, with assets of more than 10 million, if he can control the Yan family, Yan Xueyi can also make some deployments, so as to wait for the opportunity to seize the entire Siqi Province, and rely on the Yan family firm to establish an intelligence network all over the country.
These can only be said to be not bad, Yan Xueyi really believes in absolute power, and any conspiracy and trickery will be meaningless under absolute power.
If you can't refuse, then accept it, and besides, Yan Xueyi and Chang Yuxin's relationship is getting deeper and deeper, so get married as soon as possible.
There is another thing worth Yan Xueyi's attention, the Yan family has become the country's leading businessman, and it has also brought the Yan family into the eyes of the top magnates, I am afraid that the one in the Forbidden City will also hear the name of the Yan family or the Yan family business house or the first floor of the world.
What was the status of a wealthy merchant like the Yan clan in the eyes of the top nobles of the Manchu Qing Dynasty?
An unexpected answer - a flock of fat sheep to the slaughter.
During this period, Qiao Zhiyong, whose reputation was even louder than the Yan family (mainly because the Yan family was an upstart, and Qiao Zhiyong's big business had been done for decades), Zuo Zongtang borrowed 2 million taels of silver from Qiao Zhiyong as military expenses after recovering the new reins, and afterwards the court gave a second-grade official uniform to the top account, and similar things were more than once, which shows that no matter how much money there is, it is just a slave in the eyes of the top elites of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
The same is true for the Yan family, but the Yan family knows how to divide interests equally, and at the beginning of the rise, they used interests to form a huge relationship network, and then developed the relationship network to the top power of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, although the Yan family should also shear the sheep, but once someone wants to do something to the Yan family, there will be people connected with the interests of the Yan family to come out to stop it, and the Yan family spends millions of taels of silver every year in order to do business smoothly.
Compared with Qiao Zhiyong, the Yan family took the initiative to pay for silver, while Qiao Zhiyong was forced to pay for silver, and their essence is the same as that of a fat sheep to be slaughtered.
Of course, if the Yan clan reaches the time when the country is rich and rivals, that is when the Yan clan is in crisis, no matter how much they shear the sheep, it is not as good as stealing the family, Yan Xueyi will not sit still, even if the strength is not enough, it will set off a counter-flag.
Taking time out, Yan Xueyi specially came to the arsenal to inspect the heavy machine guns and pistols that had been produced, pistols in general, heavy machine guns are big killers, and it is best to deal with the cavalry of the Manchu Dynasty.
The prototype of the heavy machine gun is the Makqin heavy machine gun, and the prototype of the pistol is the Colt M1873 (revolver), Yan Xueyi named the heavy machine gun Heavy Rain after viewing, and the bullets were scattered towards the enemy like a torrential rain, and the revolver was named the Eagle.

Caliber: 5.8mm
Magazine capacity: 6 rounds
Barrel length: 191mm (army type, there are other models such as police type, the barrel length is different)
Weight: 1.1kg (Army type)
With the industrial base at this time, the arsenal was actually able to manufacture more advanced heavy machine guns, but Yan Xueyi did not do this, but took out the earliest Makqin heavy machine gun for imitation, after all, one day the weapons equipped by the garrison regiment will be exposed, Yan Xueyi does not want to take out too advanced weapons and attract the attention of the powers, so that the powers work together to suppress it.
Because as early as the 19th century, an ultra-nationalist theory - "Huang. Misfortune", which advocates that the yellow race is a threat to the white race, and that the white race should unite against the yellow race. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, "Huang. "Misfortune is rampant, and the spearhead is aimed at countries such as China and RB.
There are many time-traveling historical novels about the protagonist dominating the country and then going to the east and west, but none of them take into account whether the Caucasian nation will unite.
Some of the protagonists of the novel will cooperate with Germany, but "they" do not know that Kaiser Wilhelm II ordered the German painter Knakofus to paint an oil painting, which was given to Tsar Nicholas II of Russia as a national gift, and printed in large quantities, becoming the most well-known "art propaganda product" in European history. Woe to Germany, which is one of the most wary countries against the yellow race, how can it cooperate with the yellow race and help a yellow country rise.
At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, the entire Western Caucasian world had a prejudice against the yellow race, and did not want the rise of the yellow race.
What Yan Xueyi wants to say is that a strong China will inevitably be rejected by the Caucasian world, and they wish that the yellow race would all die, and a China that has not yet risen cannot confront the Caucasian country that represents the whole world.
"The heart of the alien race will not die, only the alien race can be completely eliminated." This is Yan Xueyi's philosophy.
Therefore, at this stage, Yan Xueyi will not make too advanced weapons, as long as he can defeat the Manchu Qing and resist the aggression of foreign powers, if he can make too advanced weapons, then I am afraid that it will be concerned by the entire Caucasian world, and even attract a joint attack by the Caucasian world, which is not what Yan Xueyi wants.
