"Indeed, your analysis is indeed very detailed." Marshali nodded in agreement, "We should see this, here, without the help of their government, whether it is a business or a trade, it is very difficult to make it bigger." Of course, that includes us. ”
Speaking of this, Mashali smiled helplessly at Ali Guo, "Since we had the original treaty port, really think about it, what did we get?" Take your cloth as an example, the quality is good, and the price should be said to be unreasonable, but it just can't be sold. Speaking of which, apart from opium and some things that rich people like, there doesn't seem to be anything to make money. ”
"They like opium, it's not that we Britons have to do that. We in England are very liberty, and we have the freedom we like, and we have to do it only for the sake of their citizens who are unwilling to leave opium. Is it difficult that we can sit idly by and ignore their suffering? Ali Guo grunted, his momentum obviously not so strong.
"Hehe, I don't mean anything to denigrate your opium trade." Mashali picked up the large cigar and took a hard breath.
"Trade, there is buying and selling, right and wrong are put aside first, but Your Excellency Marshali's words are right." Bourblon waved his hand imposingly and looked at Ali Guo, "Our cloth is actually good, to be fair, your country's is even more outstanding, why is it difficult to have a good market here?" The reasons don't seem complicated, one is because of poverty, the other is that they are more accustomed to the homespun cloth they spin themselves, plus the ignorance of the former Qing Dynasty. Speaking of which, I was reminded of another funny thing. The two of them must have noticed the kind of pants that their people here are used to wearing, hehe, the trousers have a fat waist enough to fit two or three people. ”
"Haha, don't you say that I forgot about it, it is said that the men here have not yet worn underwear, probably because the waistband of the pants is too fat...... Cough...... Ahem......" Marshali laughed so hard that he choked on a puff of cigarette in his mouth.
"You know a lot." Bourblon frowned slightly, now he was talking about serious business, he didn't like Marshali's frivolous attitude, "I have been bored recently, I have thought about it roughly, their style of pants is not desirable from an economic point of view, but from the point of view of cutting and processing, it seems to have a certain reason. In any case, this is a habit, and it is sometimes difficult to break the habit for a while, not to mention that our businessmen are in a hurry. But now, you might as well take a look, since the Tianjing government first started with the army, and then the students, in just two years, have the citizens in the city changed a lot? Our cloth can't be sold, but they never worry about using sales channels for their own spindles or new fabrics. Looking back, let's talk about the Gu company, with the Tianjing government in front of them, can they not be developed? ”
"yes, it's no wonder they're desperate to defend this government." Ali Guo seemed to be talking to Burbulon, and as if he was talking to himself.
"Well, that's right." Bourblon sighed, "However, I can't figure out what their political or economic system is for a long time, at least a little bit for the time being, they are not the kind of political trend of thought that is making trouble in our Europe, just like when they claimed to believe in God, but changed God beyond recognition, this so-called ** is just a derivative of the great harmony of the world that they have always advocated." The Chinese script is too complicated to explain. ”
Bourblon is not an official word, as a front-line official of the French Empire stationed in this ancient eastern country, in order to be responsible for his empire, he has indeed taken great pains, China is not counted, and half of China is estimated to be much worse. In fact, the Worship of God and the current Celestial Empire Communal Association, for him, perhaps the latter sounds more comfortable, at least without the blasphemy against his God before. Sometimes he even speculated why Lin Haifeng had changed the doctrine of the worship of God. Isn't it because of the later Sino-French alliance, and the Tianjing government did not want to provoke its allies?
"Haha, when Your Excellency said this, I was stunned. In my opinion, then we don't have to worry about some things, just wait, the Tianjing government is our pioneer, and only if they change the consciousness of the people here, will we have a better tomorrow. Marshali smiled.
Bourblon smiled, "Hehe, we should face reality. What is the reality? The reality is that in the past, we were eager to knock on the door of this country with strong ships and cannons, but now the door is open, and it is bigger than we expected. Commerce, mission, and residence were all possible, and the legation was also built in their capital, but what does this mean? ”
yes, what does that mean? As Burblon analyzed just now, all the products sold in are basic industrial products, and there are temporary preferential tax rates, but there is no market for light industrial products at all. On the other hand, you have to import large quantities of light industrial goods, medicines, and the like from here at the same rate. You are allowed to preach freely, but unfortunately there are fewer and fewer believers, and if the clergy have a little weaker willpower, they will probably be brainwashed.
And the right of residence for expatriates that you want to get, this one is even more powerful. Stay, you can live for as many years as you want, and the Tianjing government will not stop you, as long as you abide by the decrees of the Celestial Empire. As a result, more and more people came. Now, Mashali is the most experienced in this regard, because the domestic enterprises are showing a downward trend, the number of unemployed workers is increasing, and thousands of industrial workers have begun to flow out of the country, pouring into Guangzhou, Fuzhou, and Shanghai, almost like the great gold rush in the west. In the same way, there will be thousands of people here who will flock to his homeland, but these people will not know anything, what are they going to do? Studying, dizzy, this is not the students, what they go to study.
It's really getting more and more confusing, and he even hopes that the door of the Celestial Empire should be closed a little.
Burbulon looked at the two old friends who seemed to be thinking about their own thoughts, and his eyes stayed on Ali Guo's body, "Your Excellency, from the perspective of a friend, I would like to advise you, the development of the form has been very clear now, and if you are involved with that Manchu Qing again, I am afraid that there will be no way out when the time comes." ”
"Huh...... Hehe," Ali Guo laughed awkwardly, "Ah,......h
Burbulon shook his head, "Taiwan is not a place to stay for a long time, and if you can't get help from the mainland, how long can the remnants of the island hold on?" If it weren't for the little help that Your Excellency secretly helped, I'm afraid they would have been finished a long time ago, or the same sentence as before, don't set yourself on fire. Yang Xiuqing has repeatedly claimed in public that their financial and material resources can support a war in several directions at the same time, and that would not be alarmist, let alone unremarkable. ”
"Yes, as far as their guards are concerned, I'm afraid it's hard to find an army in the world that can match them." Mashali sighed, and there was envy.
It was approaching April, and apart from Zhang Lexing's guerrilla columns, which were active in various parts of Shandong, Henan, and Anhui, the main force of the Red Army of the Celestial Empire had not yet begun any large-scale military offensive on the frontal battlefield.
The army of the Celestial Empire has completed the complete transformation into a workers' and peasants' Red Army, and although it can only be said that this is the case in form, and although there will still be various differences and deficiencies of one kind or another in terms of the equipment of each army, especially in terms of ideological style, the current army of the Celestial Empire is different from the past, and they have completed a qualitative leap.
The Celestial Empire has formed a powerful three-in-one armed force system with the field Red Army as the mainstay, supplemented by local security forces and peasant armies, and with new ideas.
At the end of March, the General Staff, the Admiralty, and the Logistics Department of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were established.
Following the Red First Front Army, which had been fighting bravely in the southwest for more than a year, in Xiangyang, the Supreme Revolutionary Command Committee of the Celestial Empire officially announced the establishment of the General Headquarters of the Red Second Front Army headed by Shi Xiangzhen, Luo Xuan, Yang Fuqing, and Zhang Suimou, and controlled the Red Fourth, Red 21st, 22nd, 23rd, and 24th Red Army, with more than 140,000 people in five regular armies.
In Shouzhou, the Red Three-Front Army headed by Chen Yucheng, Li Shixian, Li Kaifang, and Zeng Tianyang was also immediately established, and the three main forces, including the Red First Cavalry Army, which had been recuperating in South China for a year and were holding back their screams, went north and joined the sequence of the Red Three-Front Army, and together with the newly reorganized Red Fifth, Red Eighth, Red Ninth, and Red Tenth Armies, the Shandong-Henan-Anhui Guerrilla Column, and the Red Army Teaching Brigade in Anhui, they formed an even more powerful field corps.
In order to strengthen the leadership of various localities and the needs of development, the Celestial Empire established four major military and political commissions in East China, South China, Southwest China, and Central China. Not only that, but in Guangzhou, the Southern Front Army headed by Hu Yihuang and Lin Wanqing was also established.
This was a peculiar military preparation, and it is said to be peculiar because it was publicly published in the newspapers of Tianjing, Shanghai, and other places. With the announcement of these heavy news, there are also all kinds of surprising news. For example, the Academy of Sciences of the Celestial Empire has worked closely with various enterprises under the Ordnance Bureau to develop heavy coastal artillery with a long range, and it has been successively assigned to various coastal defense fortresses. Starting at the end of the year, the three fleets of the Red Navy of the Celestial Empire will be equipped with new types of large domestically produced destroyers......
Of course, whether in the newspapers or on other occasions, the leaders of the Celestial Empire all cordially comforted all the people in the rear of the Celestial Empire, worked hard to do their own things, consolidated and developed the great form of the Celestial Empire, and fully supported the front. Moreover, they will always repeat the same sentence in unison, "In another year, at most two years, the Celestial Empire will enter into a total peace, forever away from war."
