The Englishman Lin Haifeng is talking about is James•Clark•Maxwell. However, for Benzeluth and Su Sanniang now, they only know from his apparently ghostwritten Chinese profile that this is a twenty-four-year-old young man who entered the University of Edinburgh at the age of sixteen and graduated with honors from Trinity College, Cambridge University last year.

Even Maxwell himself did not know that in the original history, he would be another great scientist after Faraday who had mastered electromagnetism. Based on a series of discoveries and practical achievements of Coulomb, Gauss, Ohm, Ampère, Biot, Savar, Faraday and other predecessors, he established the first complete electromagnetic theory system, which not only scientifically predicted the existence of electromagnetic waves, but also revealed the unity of the essence of light, electricity and magnetism, and completed another great synthesis of physics. The results of this theoretical and natural science laid the foundation for the future electric power industry, electronics industry, and radio industry. He is now just a person who has come here for the good of the country, voluntarily or against his will, and is engaged in a special profession.

But Lin Haifeng knew this in his heart, and at present, although the equation "Zheng Nancheng Group" that describes the behavior of electromagnetic radiation has long been established, it still needs such talents to improve it.

"Send him someone to escort him to Tianjing and hand it over to King Ning, King Ning's physical room is in urgent need of this kind of talent." Lin Haifeng looked at Su Sanniang and said solemnly.

"Yes!" Su Sanniang agreed, but thought about it with some concern, "Your Highness, there have been a lot of people from the UK recently, and I always feel that this is abnormal." Last year they were trying to encourage the British comptoirs to leave here, but this year it's a big turn, can't it be some kind of intention? ”

"It's strange if there's no attempt." Benzelous smiled, "Steelmaking converters, weapons, and expensive medicines, which ones are not coveted by others." ”

"Hehe, yes, when the tree is big, it naturally attracts the wind. However, whether or not this unhealthy wind can be suppressed depends on our meticulous work, rather than blindly refusing. Even the British, it's not exactly the same. Lin Haifeng looked at Su Sanniang, "Of course, to prevent spies and eradicate the string of internal moles, you must always be tight in your mind, and you can't relax for a moment in the security work of various key departments." ”

Ye Mingchen, the foreign affairs supervisor of Guangdong, came to Hong Kong. He was ordered by Su Shun to pay another visit to Paul Leyn, the British minister to the Qing Dynasty and the governor of Hong Kong.

The huge contingent of the Heavenly Army had already carried out key strikes on Guangdong from the three directions of Fujian, Jiangxi, and Hunan almost simultaneously, and the front was in an emergency and flew back like snowflakes, telling Su Shun to take care of everything, but he couldn't take care of any of them, and it was really difficult to parry. In desperation, he thought of foreigners, it seems that no, there is a direct intervention of foreigners, and it is difficult to stop the sharp limelight of long hair with his own little strength.

Speaking of foreigners, in fact, it is almost rare to see one and a half in the city of Guangzhou. The concession has become an empty city. It turned out that the Americans and the French in the concession had already run away a few months ago, either to Fuzhou, Xiamen, or Shanghai. As for the British, although they had secretly aided some of their guns to form an army, they fled to Hong Kong at this time as if they were afraid of the plague, especially those unscrupulous British merchants who had been exposed to opium or something, and ran faster and farther, either to India or simply to return to China. Now, if you want to find foreigners, you can only go to Hong Kong. However, as for whether Ye Mingchen can get anything from this trip, Su Shun has no bottom in his heart.

"You don't even have an army, you're just a bunch of rice buckets! No, it's a waste that's worse than a rice bucket! As soon as he saw Ye Mingchen, Pauling jumped up from his chair, ran across the table, almost poked Ye Mingchen's nose, and roared, "God, you have wasted thousands of guns in our British Empire. ”

"Gong ...... The Minister calmed his anger...... Cease...... Calm your anger! Ye Mingchen was sweating, he didn't even dare to sit down, he stood there with his waist bent like a shrimp, and kept bowing in his hands, "At present, all parts of the country have fallen, and soon Guangzhou will be in crisis, our Lord Qincha means that we hope that your country's fleet can enter the Pearl River and assist in the defense of Guangzhou City, and Minister Wanwang affirms the righteousness." If Guangzhou is lost, the power of our Qing Dynasty in Jiangnan will be completely lost, as for the ...... As for Hong Kong, Long Hair will definitely not ignore it. ”

Ye Mingchen said, his eyes were red, and his voice was mixed with choking.

"Fleet? With our fleet, you and your Lord Chin Cha will be able to hold Canton? Pauling turned his back and laughed maniacally, "You're a bunch of dogs, dogs!" When he said this, he turned back sharply again, staring at Ye Mingchen with disdain, "What did you do earlier?" This minister sacrificed his guns and cannons for you, and sincerely helped you, but you and this minister kept their eyes on it, in the words of you Chinese, you want to be a prostitute and pretend to be a lady (in fact, this is not the original words of the Chinese, Pauling has not yet learned the essence of the Chinese). You can't even keep the country, but you are still playing with this minister on trivial issues such as opium, tariffs, and the autonomy of the concessions. Your emperor of the Qing Dynasty is about to sell most of the country to the Russians, what are you still pretending to be high here? You ......"

Listening to Pauling's scolding, Ye Mingchen was extremely aggrieved. What are we? It's not all the famous people who are Su Shun. Alas! It's no wonder that Lord Yang is so angry. As soon as Su Shun came to Guangdong, he abolished his official title as the governor of Guangdong, and Su Shun took up the same time, asking himself to specialize in foreign affairs. It's okay to do foreign affairs, but who knows that this Su Shun is an iron rooster, who just wants to take advantage of foreigners, and refuses to suffer a little loss. At the beginning, Pauling took the initiative to provide guns and artillery to the Qing army, and revealed his intention to transfer several warships stationed in Hong Kong to the command of the Guangdong government, so that the Qing army could hold Guangdong and other places. Who knew that Su Shun ignored the smoking ban because it was difficult to accept the smoking ban, the opening of customs, and the autonomy of foreigners in the concession, and did not put his own persuasion in his heart at all. Whining...... As a foreigner, there is only one left to be scolded at both ends.

"Gong ...... Minister Minister," until he watched Pauling scolding tired, Ye Mingchen wiped the sweat on his forehead, and pleaded with a smiling face, "In the past, we were short-sighted and lost our knowledge, but now it's not too late." As long as the minister sends troops to intervene, we will definitely hold Guangzhou and the adjacent areas, and when reinforcements from Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi and other places arrive, we can counterattack Changmao. Guangdong is a good place, and it can't be lost. The loss of Shanghai, Xiamen and other treaty ports, and the loss of Guangzhou will also be a great damage to the interests of your country. If...... If your government can wage war on Changmao in an all-out way, and then send reinforcements from the country, we have said that we can cooperate with your country according to the practice of the north. Now...... For now, you can lease Hong Kong in its entirety to your country, and you can also discuss the leasing of Taiwan and Hainan Island slowly. Ye Mingchen was playing alone, and the things he said had not been allowed by Su Shun. Outside the general, the king's order was not granted, and the Manchu officials were often able to exert this spirit to the extreme at such times.

Pauling's anger seemed to calm down a bit, and he sat back on the chair behind the table with a plop, and squinted at Ye Mingchen. Cunning fellow, at this time you remember to tempt me with huge profits!
