Chapter 389: A Deeper Conspiracy

Generally speaking, it was to divide and disintegrate the two countries, especially France, so that he felt that the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom was more intimate and friendly to it, and to Britain it was to be patient for the time being, and in the subsequent negotiations, on the opening up of the whole territory of China, boundless negotiations were conducted, and the Huaxia side sent Zhang Zhidong as the core of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs officials to conduct negotiations, and devised various terms and restrictions, the premise was that the negotiations had dragged on for half a year, and there was not much progress. However, the secret negotiations with France to require France to set up factories in China progressed rapidly, and soon France set up two factories in Tianjin, Shanghai and other places.

The export of machinery was only lifted after 1825, after the first economic crisis in the history of Britain, and forty years later, Britain and France, which were more industrially powerful, certainly hoped that the factory would be established in a colonial country, and the factory would be opened directly, using cheap raw materials, human resources, and markets.

Inviting France to open a factory is part of Luoyang's plan, in the name of using France, against the British monopoly, after the factory is opened, French goods do not need to be transported, more convenient, can have a price advantage over British goods,

Two huge textile mills, set up in Tianjin and Shanghai, led by the French, put the factories up, the machines were transported in place, installed,

Luo Yang personally rushed to the factory, watched the machines, talked with the French, thanked,

The French were very excited, but they didn't expect that this was Luo Yang's conspiracy.

Luo Yang did artillery, down-to-earth, but after doing the workers of the construction team, he knew the dark and sinister society, for example, many magnates controlled the construction land grant and what key links, and the contractor also had various countermeasures, and many units forcibly required the builder to advance capital, etc., Luo Yang learned this trick, advance payment,

He is deceiving, deceiving the technology and machinery of the French to China, deceiving them on a large scale, and after deceiving them, he will turn his face and deny people, and he will ignore these things.

Anyway, China needs primitive accumulation, but what is the way, you can't harm the common people, then only sorry, Western civilized gentlemen,

Capital comes into this world, from head to toe, dirty, every pore......

Luo Yang refuses to be an honest man, a good man, in the face of the jungle world, he must be more evil than the wicked, worse than the bad guy, then there is room for survival, especially, after he grasps the leadership of the country and the nation, for the sake of the sacred country and the nation, everything is a floating cloud,

Anyway, I can't let our country and people have a hundred years of shame,

Of course, it's not just France, it's just that this way starts from France, which is exquisite.

"These are two textile mills." The French introduced that they were extremely excited about Luo Yang's personal arrival, and enthusiastically pointed and introduced, unaware that people had long regarded them as a plate of food, a beautiful game meat, and they were still counting money for others.

"It's too little, the scale should be bigger, and the guts should be bigger." Luo Yang instructed,

The French said to wash their ears and listen,

"There should be more types of factories and mines, and there should be more machines." Luo Yang said,

"But what if it catches the attention of the British." The French are still quite cautious,

"It doesn't matter, we guarantee the interests of France with the power of the state." Luo Yang said,

Immediately, a discussion began between the Chinese Celestial Kingdom and the French personnel in China, and only a few high-ranking Frenchmen, merchants, diplomats, others, missionaries, were selected, and talked mainly about French factories, what kind of products were the most popular, the most victorious against the British, and so on.

Luo Yang suggested that French heavy industry be introduced to China, steel smelting, etc., and promised to give major support: "Within ten years, you don't have to worry about paying any taxes." ”

In fact, the generous attitude of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom makes the French dare not think about it, not only does it not collect taxes for a long time, but it also guarantees a very low tax amount, which makes people feel like they are dreaming.

If the French knew that Luo Yang and other high-ranking officials of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom were all thinking about fraud, they really didn't know what they would imagine.

Luo Yang personally drew up a list of some heavy industry machinery and equipment and factories, and handed it to the French, explaining that this is what the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom needs most, and these products must sell well in China.

The French were very grateful: "Thank you, thank you, thank you for your hospitality to France, long live the great Chinese Heavenly Kingdom, long live the great King Rui1"

The Chinese officials led by Luo Yang also immediately responded with warm applause and shouted: "Long live the great French Napoleon III." ”

The emperor of France at that time was Louis, Bonaparte, the nephew of the elder Napoleon, known as the third,

At that time, China already had private capital enterprises, but they were very sporadic and few, and the state-run factories were Li Hongzhang's Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, Zeng Guofan's Anqingnei Ordnance Institute and the like, and even the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau of Lao Zuo Zongtang had not yet opened.

Luo Yang repeatedly told France to keep it secret, keep it secret, keep it secret, or keep it secret,

Nominally, no matter who asked, these French people unified their voices, saying that the machines imported by the Chinese government were technicians, and they were here to assist the Chinese.

Of course, the arrival of the French machinery and the opening of the factory, albeit quickly, began only a few months later, before the diplomatic mediation of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom to the United States had already been decided.

In fact, it was three days, and Mr. Rohr, the minister of the United States, came to the diplomatic department of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom and expressed his willingness to revise the treaty.

Luo Yang was very happy, came in person, met with him, and praised his wisdom and shrewdness: "Then, let's discuss the content of the treaty." ”

Minister Rohr was also very polite and serious, and really brought the text to study, here, a delegation headed by Luo Yang had a direct dialogue with the American minister,

A day later, Luo Yang found out that this Yankee was playing tricks,

He said that he was negotiating and studying the text, but he deliberately made a sidewalk, poked and poked here, discussed there, deliberately diverted the topic, and quoted from the side, so that the topic was always far from the topic, and on the real project, he often avoided the important and trivialized, and excused himself that without the direct guidance of the government and the authorization of Mr. President, he could not confirm it.

"King Rui, I have a bad word, Citigroup people are the most cunning, we negotiate with him, that is, negotiate with the fox, we always can't catch him, he is tricked, he is not sincere, we are afraid that we will not be able to talk about the problem." Hong Renji, who is in charge of this group, said very directly,

"Yes, it's not easy, can diplomacy be easy?" Luo Yang said that in fact, he did not expect the US minister to make much concessions on the issue of treaty amendments, because he really did not have the government's authorization.

"Then, King Rui, what your true intentions are." Hong Renji asked,

"Use diplomacy to find a solution, and if there is really no way, we will resort to force." Luo Yang said categorically: "The reason why this is the case, first, to stabilize these countries, we still don't have direct strength, and second, if we want to seek a great cause for a thousand years, we must first take the hand of literature, lest some well-fed Wang Ba Cake in the future attack us, saying that we are violent by force, not civilized, and anti-human, hahaha." ”

"This." Hong Renji couldn't understand it, but he still admired Luo Yang, because he personally experienced the grand decline of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the fall of Tianjing, and the failure of the Heavenly Kingdom.
