Liang Pengfei took the cigar handed over by Shi Xianggu and took a deep breath, about this barbaric and selfish, greedy and cruel ethnic minority class, he really didn't have the slightest good impression and owe it, and it could even be said that he had a bitter pain.

They are like a group of moths that smell foul all over their bodies, feeding on the blood of the Chinese nation and fattening themselves; they are both conservative and cruel; they have never attached importance to the major impact of military technology on the outcome of a war, and have always held on to the concept of cold weapons of "taking the world with a bow and a horse."

Such a man is bent on maintaining his dominance, frantically suppressing and strangling everything they feel will be a danger to their rule, preferring to be a thief to a slave...... All this, not to mention Liang Pengfei, a traverser, even if they live in this era, how can they not know about the people who have suffered these hardships?

However, the Manchu Qing's long-term slavery education and cruel means of stifling all new ideas played a great role, making the entire Chinese nation a complete backwater during the more than 300 years of Manchu rule.

“…… I am just an ordinary Chinese, and all I hope is that there will no longer be a privileged class like the Manchus riding on the head of each of us, drinking our blood, eating our flesh, and in the end guarding us like thieves, and even the books that spread ideas and culture will be destroyed for the sake of their rule. I don't know how much you understand what I'm saying, but I can tell you one thing, the Manchus, they have to fall, because the Manchus are a selfish people to the extreme, and they don't deserve and should not be the ruling class in our China. ”

Liang Pengfei's words were very long and a little messy, and they could even be described to the point of gibberish, one sentence in the east and one stick in the west, but none of the people present denied that what he said was incorrect.

The wind blew, blowing the treetops and the branches and leaves rubbing a rustling sound, the green covered path, zigzag and winding to the distance, the end of the green, is a jade ribbon of white, the blue wave and the different shades of green separated, the sky, a white mark shuttled between the clouds, flickering.

On the blue waves in the distance, a leaf of white sails is plowing out a light white, competing for sails, nothing more than that, however, although Liang Pengfei's eyes fell into the distance, there was no trace of interest in appreciation, he just felt sad, the great country, and then let those Manchurians torture like this, in the end, the ancient empire that has stood in this world for thousands of years has become everyone can be bullied, everyone can be bullied, what is the embarrassment of people?

Just in a trance, he felt that his shoulders sank slightly, Liang Pengfei turned his head and saw Shi Xianggu's gentle and quiet face, which was leaning lightly on his shoulder, and his eyes were full of intimacy and worry.

"I'm fine, it's just that I feel a little uncomfortable when I think about these things." Liang Pengfei returned with a smile, stretched out his hand, clenched the soft water handed over by Shi Xianggu, and said with a low voice and a smile.

Sun Shijie and Ni Ming, the two strategists, both had angry expressions on their faces at this moment, just like the expressions of the progressive young people of later generations when they heard that the motherland was in misery, and the passion of young people will not change in any era.

Mo Guanrang's black face didn't have much expression, but at this moment, he also fell into deep thought, Liang Pengfei said a lot, some of which he didn't know, but for the suffering brought to them by the relocation and forbidden sea, it was so unforgettable, their suffering was passed on by word of mouth from generation to generation, if it weren't for the court's policy of exterminating people's surnames, who would want to live in the sea for generations, living a hungry and full life, and in the end they couldn't live, so they became pirates who fought with their lives in exchange for survival.

"Hong Kong Island is for you, however, our Black Flag Gang is reluctant to leave the area around Hong Kong Island, I hope Young Master Liang, you will not embarrass them." Mo Guanrang finally opened his mouth, and rubbed his calloused hands a little crampedly: "I don't understand the big truths you said, Liang Shao, but my cousin Guan helped them, if it weren't for your care, they would either be exiled at sea now, or they would have been killed by the court, and you asked Miss Shi to come forward to help me avenge the Black Flag Gang, I can see that you are willing to treat me with sincerity Lao Mo, Mo Mou is not an unreasonable person." ”

"Thank you, Lord Mo." Liang Pengfei stood up and saluted the honest and sincere Mo Guanrang. "You can rest assured, whether it is a Black Flag gang or not, those who are willing to stay in the vicinity of Hong Kong Island, albeit by themselves. It's just that I don't know what conditions the Mo flag master has, please make it clear. Liang Pengfei can be said to have breathed a sigh of relief, although he is determined to win the Kowloon Bay between Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula, but he does not want to use means to occupy it, so as to offend the most powerful Tan family in this area, and now, since Mo Guanrang has agreed, the next thing will naturally be much easier.

In the end, Liang Pengfei paid the price of five armed merchant ships, 500 muskets, and 50 artillery pieces, as well as 20,000 catties of gunpowder and 100,000 taels of silver. However, Mo Guanrang did not even make a request for complete possession of Lantau Island, only hoping that possession of the southern part of Lantau Island, which is now owned by the Black Flag Gang, would be sufficient.

However, in Liang Pengfei's opinion, such a condition should be excessive, besides, this Mo Guanrang is definitely a character who can make people honest and intersect, so Liang Pengfei raised the price himself, not only to win the favor of Mo Guanrang, but also to let other Tan family members understand that he Liang Pengfei came with goodwill and sincerity.

After agreeing on the affairs of Hong Kong Island, Mo Guanrang rested overnight at Shrimp Whisker Pai Fort, and left here in a hurry the next day, because he wanted to move the remaining relatives of the Black Flag Gang to Lantau Island as soon as possible, and he was accompanied by Shi Dakai, who represented the Shi family, and Mo Guanfu, who represented Liang Pengfei.

“…… The new dock in the central Luzon Islands will be completed in about two months. The strategist Ni Ming was standing in the room, reporting to Liang Pengfei about the affairs of Luzon.

"After the new dock in the central Luzon Islands was built, no more additional docks were built, and all the manpower was transferred to me to build a dock in Kowloon Bay. Also, tell my dad to let them increase the production of cement in Annam, and in any case, I need to build at least five dockyards in Kowloon Bay by this time next year, and next year, I need to see battleships built here. Liang Pengfei looked at the map hanging on the wall, and after hearing Ni Ming's report, he thought about it and said.

"Your Excellency's words are very good, and since you have obtained this good harbor, you should come in handy as soon as possible." Ni Ming said with a smile. Sun Shijie, who was recording Liang Pengfei's password next to him, also bowed slightly.

Liang Pengfei took the herbal tea handed over by Bai Shusheng and drank it all, and raised his eyebrows proudly: "Here in Kowloon Bay, it will become our first and largest naval base, Kowloon Naval Base." ”

"Liang Shao, then Annam Da Nang is also building a dock according to your instructions, whether to transfer the craftsmen there." Next to him, Ni Ming continued to suggest to Liang Pengfei.

Liang Pengfei shook his head: "No need, the dock built there in Da Nang is for the construction of merchant ships and small and medium-sized warships, firstly, after all, the lord of Annan is still there, and secondly, my current situation is not convenient to meddle too much, besides, naval warfare can not only be determined by the number of large warships, but also more small and medium-sized warships, it is not useless." Besides, it's not up to us to pay for it. ”

"However, we can mobilize people from there, no, we can recruit workers from Annan, anyway, there is no population in the area of Hong Kong Island, and there are so many displaced people in Annan, and they are idle, and they are idle, recruiting 10,000 or 20,000 to come and build a port and dock for us, although we can't do any fine work, but we can still do it by pouring cement and smashing stones."

"Young master, there is news from Macao, those Yingyi have obtained the permission of the imperial court and are ready to leave Macao, travel north along the coast, and go to the capital." A subordinate hurriedly walked into the small courtyard and handed over a piece of information in his hand to Liang Pengfei.

"Now our people have won their trust, although we dare not say that we have found out their details, but one thing is certain, the contact and visits with the court officials in the past period of time have made them have a great change in their perception of the court, from the initial caution to the current contempt and contempt from the heart." Sun Shijie looked at the information that came, and his face was filled with a smile called bitterness.

"Hmph, the officials [***], squeezing the people to anoint, the country is rotten, there is smoke everywhere, and there is a big literary prison to trap Zhongliang, this kind of court is already rotten, not to mention those Westerners who look at it like this, I also feel that this court is on the verge of overturning." Ni Ming interjected with a faint smile on his face. However, there was a bitter hatred in his eyes.

He was originally not called Ni Ming, his original surname was Yin, his name was Zhengke, he was a native of Boye County, Hebei Province, and his family was solid. His grandfather Yin Jiaquan is a famous Confucian in Hebei, born in a person, has served as a secretary and Taoist official in Shandong, Gansu and other provinces, and was later promoted to Dali Siqing, the official is three products, ranking among the nine Qing.

However, in the 46th year of Qianlong, because of the literary prison case, the scholars Sanbao, Yinglian and the personnel of various ministries and departments involved in the case reported to the emperor the evidence of Yin Jiaquan's crime and the criminal trial, and finally recommended that Yin Jiaquan be executed by Ling Chi, all the family property was put into the official, all the books were destroyed, and the family members who sat on it, and those who were above 16 were beheaded, and the rest were paid to the family of the meritorious heroes as slaves.

Later, in order to show his "generosity", Qianlong decided to "give grace to exempt him from the crime of Ling Chi, and instead of hanging, and his family members will be gracious together to avoid his fate." However, the family property was confiscated, and the original large family was scattered and decayed.
