Chapter 163: The Great Harvest

In addition to this part of the seized financial ordnance materials, there are also finances looted outside the capital, which have a rough statistics when the coalition forces are collected. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Outside the capital, the property looted by the coalition army is roughly estimated to be more than 5 million taels, only more, not less than this number, Hu Lin looked at the list brought by Li Tie, his face was calm, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or worried.

These belongings were stolen from the Qing Dynasty by the coalition forces, not brought by the coalition forces themselves. And to rob so much property, how many households must be destroyed and how much blood must be shed in order to have such a big harvest.

Hu Lin is bitter in his heart, these finances seem to be a lot, and now they belong to him, but these belongings are full of blood, and Hu Lin has a special heaviness in his hands.

It is said that although most of the contributors to these possessions are unscrupulous landlords and wealthy households, these are not good birds, let alone most of them are Manchu people's families, and only people like Manchu rich families will have more property to rob.

But how many of them were robbed by ordinary people's homes, there is no way to count, everyone suffered, and no one was immune to the death of the country.

In addition, when Tianjin was conquered, the property looted from the rear of the coalition army. There are more of these, and the coalition forces have almost robbed Tianjin and Jincheng and outside the city.

Part of it was 2 million taels of silver that the Japanese army stole from the salt transportation embassy, and the US army excavated millions of taels of silver from the ground. In addition, the Russian army looted the treasures of art from the Haiphong Office and the hundreds of tons of silver stored in the market factory, all of which were looted by the Russian army. The Foundry's $400,000 worth of silver was all looted by the U.S. military.

Although these changed hands back to Hu Lin in this time and space, they did not go abroad. However, the wounds suffered by the entire Tianjin will not be wiped out for a while, and everyone in the coalition forces owes a lot of this debt.

In addition to these, there were captured warships that surrendered at sea, 6 warships captured by the Bohai Sea Patrol Fleet, including the British Centurion battleship, the American cruiser Newark, the German cruiser Queen Augusta, the Italian cruiser Elba, the armored cruiser Russia, and the French cruiser Pascal.

Japan's Aiyan has been beaten to slag, which will be at the bottom of the Bohai Sea, and it is not easy to fish for scrap iron. In addition, near Long Island, the Orlando-class armored cruiser and the battleship Saxony were bombed by rockets and extensively damaged.

It can't be used for the time being, and it has been dragged to Tanggukou at this time. As long as it hasn't sunk, it still has some value. In this era, it was only an expansion steam turbine, which was powered by coal.

If you use coal as power, you need a big chimney, and it will not be so easy to repair it. This is only relative to the foreigners of this era, but it is not the same for Hulin.

There is no need to use coal to burn steam power in a regular manner, there are so many diesel turbines in modern times, find a time to purchase a few and install them, the speed is much faster than steam.

The number of naval guns that can be installed will also increase, and the two and three can only be laid, and the deck can be repaired anyway. Whether the others should be replaced with diesel power remains to be considered, and the manpower and technology required for modification are not yet mature in this era, and the key is that there is no one on their own.

In addition, there are also some defendants who destroyed the small warships in Tanggukou and the canal, and those that can be recovered are recycled as much as possible for maintenance, which can be regarded as a sea force, and for the time being, Hulin does not have an industrial foundation to develop the shipbuilding industry.

The industrial level of the Qing Dynasty has only just begun, and it is not a moment to quickly catch up with the level of the world. Not to mention the integration of modern shipbuilding industry technology.

This is also Hu Lin can only shake his head when he looks at the dozen or so available warships in his hand. In the hands of the Qing Dynasty's court, there is still a fleet that is not weak, but it can be received at a time.

In the garden next to Dong's mansion, the table where the treaty was signed had not been taken away, and Dong Fuxiang came to see Hu Lin several times, but he didn't see Hu Lin's intention to send these tables back, so it was difficult to mention it.

Li Hongzhang could see that Hu Lin was just an ordinary person, not a heavenly soldier, but Dong Fuxiang hadn't come back to his senses yet, although he had some doubts in his heart, but the elite army that was afraid of helicopters and Xiong Qing didn't dare to think about ordinary people.

At this time, Hu Linzheng and Li Tie, Xiong Qing and others were looking at the harvest of statistics, Dong Fuxiang came to the gate of the garden again, and after Hu Lin signaled the guards to let him go, Dong Fuxiang entered the garden tremblingly.

"Immortal, Immortal, Rong Lu and many other ministers have come to visit Immortal Elder again, do you want to meet them, they have been here many times."

"Again? Let them go back first, they don't have time now, find a time and let them come. ”

"Yes, Sencho, that..."

"You go and deal with the affairs outside the city first, calm down, and talk about it later."

Hu Lin looked a little impatient on his face, and turned his head to look at the list printed on A4 paper in his hand. Printers are naturally the standard configuration of the guards, the special division has, Xiong Qing's elite first division is also equipped with notebooks and printers, and the general work of computers has been popularized in the high-rise of Pingshan, and it is naturally no longer a handwritten list.

Dong Fuxiang was helpless, he didn't dare to stay any longer, and hurriedly retreated, when did Dong Fuxiang, as a military general, have such grievances, this is still Hu Lin's opinion that Dong Fuxiang is a good general, otherwise Hu Lin would not have seen Dong Fuxiang.

There was no one else in the garden, and it was back to the conversation, Xiong Qing would have a bright spring on his face, and he presided over the coalition forces that captured Tianjin, and how much harvest was naturally cleared.

"General, how about it, let's develop this time, there are almost more than 15 million taels of gold and silver and other property seized from the coalition forces in Tianjin, and there are more than 5 million taels in the capital, and there are more than 20 million taels together, as well as other materials, weapons and equipment, and no matter how conservative it is estimated, there are also harvests worth 30 million taels."

After Xiong Qing waited for Dong Fuxiang to withdraw from the garden, his face immediately hung with excitement, calculating the harvest of this trip to the capital, just looking at a general data, it can make people feel shocked.

"Brute Bear, just be happy, no matter how much silver is not yours, see how happy you are, or give you a hundred percent of the silver, go home and enjoy it!"

Li Tie couldn't stand Xiong Qing's invitation to show off, so he immediately put on small shoes for Xiong Qing.

"Wow, wow, Li Tie, what do you mean, don't you like my position, don't you want to beat my elite first division."

Xiong Qing jumped up like a fried tiger, making a gesture to fight Li Tie. Xiong Qing, an elite division formed by temporarily transferring almost all the elite soldiers of the Pingshan Army, as the division commander, Xiong Qing is the most proud person.

It can be said that Xiong Qing controls one of the most powerful armies in the world, and no one dares to face it head-on. Looking at the speed at which the coalition forces were swept along the way, you can see the combat effectiveness of this elite division.

Of course, Li Tie is just talking, and Xiong Qing also knows that he is just making a gesture. Li Tie is in charge of a special division, and if you want to say which unit is the most well-equipped in the Pingshan Army, it must be a special division. (To be continued.) )
