Lin Haifeng returned to the temporary residence from the hospital, and it happened that Zeng Jinfa, the deputy prime minister of the spring official, and Huang Zaixing, the deputy prime minister of the local government, rushed to Jiangyin from Tianjing with a group of personnel. The rear work group led by Zeng Zhaoyang, the deputy prime minister of Tianguan and the deputy prime minister, also arrived on his heels. Zeng Jinfa and Huang Zaixing were the heads of the staff of the Eastern Expeditionary Army he established, and Zeng Zhaoyang was the local administrator of Jiangsu Province that he sketched in his mind.

He was very grateful to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom for giving him an active stage and giving him many shrewd, capable, and truly rich talents. Sometimes he even thought that if he was fortunate to be in Tianjing, what would be the consequences if he arrived in Beijing? The ignorant Manchu court would not accept his ideas, not to mention ideological, even military claims alone would not work. There is a group of people who do not have any spiritual pursuits, and do not know how high the sky is and how wide the earth is. You just give them the best people and the most advanced equipment in the world, and you can't build a strong country either. This was determined by the inferior nature of the Manchu Qing.

The person who has the weapon is the most critical.

Sang Yu was an elite among the women of the Celestial Empire, an excellent fighter on the hidden front, and a strongman in Shanghai's business community. Sang Yu in the American Concession is now red in her heart, red and purple, white on the surface, and even the Celestial Empire government in Shanghai headed by Liu Lichuan has even begun to turn from gratitude to hatred for her.

Angel's firm is doing brisk business. Wuchang, Hankou, and Jiujiang, several newly opened ports of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom regime, not only did Angel appear, but also controlled a large number of major commodity purchase and sales channels. In the eyes of the Shanghai business community, this Angel not only has a unique vision, but also acts quickly, and now, with the development of the shape, the major commercial houses in Shanghai began to beat their chests for their hesitation, and they have followed Angel to seize the ports, becoming Angel's little buddy.

Since Aihua came, in the eyes of outsiders, Aihua, the owner of this Angel, is a son-in-law. He is more keen on running around, socializing and having fun, and his shadow can always be found in the bars of various concessions. And Sang Yu, who is in charge of the house, is still in charge of Angel's business in Shanghai.

The British like to be sanctimonious, they want to be a bitch, and they want to set up a memorial arch. They claimed to be neutral between the belligerents in Shanghai, and as a result, they always had to pay lip service to their arms trade in Shanghai, causing the British trading houses to shrink their hands. Of course, there is another reason, which is that the British merchants have their own unique trade, and that is the smuggling of opium. Although the Celestial Empire government in Shanghai deprived them of the opportunity for direct trade, they had other options.

The French were too weak in Shanghai, especially after Bourblon returned from Tianjing, and before returning to China to report the results of his investigation of Tianjing, he repeatedly told his acting minister to remain absolutely neutral and not to contradict the Celestial Empire government in Shanghai.

Americans are different. The Americans pay attention to affordability, neutrality is the brand, and it is not okay not to fight for the time being, as for trade, as long as there is money to be made, how to come quickly.

It was precisely by taking advantage of the characteristics of Shanghai's various concessions that Sang Yu began to instigate Jin Nengheng, the head of Qichang Foreign Company, to join forces with the two families to control Shanghai's arms trade. After speculation and speculation, the original two or three silver barrels of gunpowder were finally fried to a sky-high price of fifty-one barrels, and the guns and artillery were even more expensive. The high price discouraged the warring parties at first glance. In this way, not only Liu Lichuan, who plans to buy guns and ammunition and is ready to use them in Shanghai for a long time, hates her, even Xu Naizhao, the governor of Jiangsu, is itchy with indescribable teeth, these businessmen are really profit-oriented, and they don't talk about the friendship of friends at all.

But Sangyu knew in her heart that the heavenly army in the city already had enough reserves for arms in two months, but the Qing army outside the city was different. At first, the Qing army did not have the intention to buy a large number of Western weapons, until they saw that the Taiping army in the city was becoming more and more fierce and the soldiers suffered heavy losses, so they remembered that they should buy some Western weapons. Sang Yu's purpose in this move was to deal with them. She couldn't let the weapon flow into the hands of the Qing Demon lightly.

At the beginning of the month, the greedy Kim Neng-hyung arrived with a whole shipload of munitions, more than 3,000 rifles, 100 cannons, and countless ammunition. Due to the sudden sharp rise in the price of arms, Shanghai's arms business was temporarily sluggish, and Jin Nengheng could not bear to be lonely, and he actually thought of selling these arms to Tianjing along with the ships.

Fang Jingbo took the idea of the big class, and thought about it with Sang Yu several times, but Sang Yu just told him to wait patiently. Today, unable to resist the repeated urging of the Taipan, he came to Angel's firm again.

When Sang Yu took care of the matter at hand, the two of them entered the study. The study room is laid out in a simple and elegant manner, and there is a strong fragrance of books here, and there is no pretentiousness and show-off of wealthy giants at all. Fang Jingbo couldn't help but think of Ai Hua wandering around outside, and he secretly sighed in his heart, "Missan, your husband is not here?" ”

"He likes to play," Sang Yu smiled sweetly, "My husband is wise and foolish, and if he has a big idea, he doesn't care about small things." As for me, I only do small things, and I can't get big ideas. You know, if it weren't for the foundation that my husband laid in the west, I wouldn't be able to do anything. ”

"Mi Si San is really humble," Fang Jingbo smiled, "Without you, business in Shanghai would not be so good." ”

"Really?" Sang Yu giggled, "That's my adventurous nature and doing things that my husband doesn't like, so he doesn't want to participate." ”

"You mean the arms trade, right?" Fang Jingbo sighed, "Actually, I don't like this kind of trade either. Those who are killed and killed are not all people of their own nationality. ”

"You big men, you just think too much about the future." Sang Yu looked indifferent, "We businessmen are talking about how to make money, not stealing and robbing, as for killing, that's their business." However, maybe in the end, an excellent army will be played, which can protect our family and defend the country, but I can't say for sure. Look at this Western firearm, isn't it more powerful than our previous weapons? Alas, perhaps without this war, no one would have looked down on these things. ”

"Hehe, it's still Misi Sang's way of thinking," Fang Jingbo tilted his head to look at this strange woman who claimed to only do small things, "If the government had already had this kind of idea from you, it wouldn't have spent money to buy these things, we could have made it ourselves." As for those treaties," he smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Mister is still here for that ship's munitions, right?" Sang Yu smiled, "To be honest, we have a lot of arms hoarded in the warehouse, so my husband has scolded me a lot." ”

"Yes, Jin Taipan looks like he's going crazy," Fang Jingbo smiled happily, "His mind is full of Yinyang now." ”

"However, it is a little difficult." Sang Yu sighed, "The Great Qingshui Master on the Yangtze River will not let us go lightly, once it is discovered, you can say, I am guilty of killing my head, then our family's property will be over!" ”

Fang Jingbo nodded, "Don't worry, Mi Sisan, Jin Taipan has also considered it." Besides, what you said a while ago about applying for your husband to become a French citizen, Jin Daban is stepping up the handling of it, and it is estimated that it will be done soon. In addition, Jin Daban said that any difficulties can be raised in advance, and everyone will discuss together, and he will use the power of the consulate to ensure your absolute safety in Shanghai. ”
