Chapter Eighty-Seven: Night Meeting Fu Shanxiang
In the evening, in front of the Longwei, five 100-man rowers of the Guangdong Navy Division opened the way in front of the capital ship, and from time to time some rowers drifted down the river, and they should be safe before and after, and beware of the opponent's 'flint boats' attacking and colliding.
In the inner cabin of the Longwei, Lin Haijiang dined in the officer's cafeteria, and Lin Haijiang, the former general of the Guangzhou Navy Division, only brought a few people who seemed to be passable, most of them were his own henchmen, and brought these Guangzhou Navy generals to let them study, but in fact, it was also to hide people's eyes.
In the ammunition depot of the two warships, Lin Haijiang packed all the flintlock pistols that had been collected and scraped in the foreign company, and this batch of goods was the first batch of weapons that Miles was about to deliver to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
The officer's cafeteria was very lively, and after several attacks, especially after the overwhelming artillery battle with the Taiping army in the Jiangyin fortress, almost everyone was full of confidence in Tianjing, the old nest of the bandits.
Lin Haijiang looked at these sworn guys and felt a pain in his head, his only hope now was to send a few decent students to Prussia to study in the navy, otherwise even if he had an existing ironclad ship, but only a group of army commanders on board, what was the use?
Run a junior naval cadet military academy on your own? Lin Haijiang immediately denied his crazy thoughts, and now the time is still very immature, lest the military academy has not yet been completed, and his top and head will be in danger, Lin Haijiang's biggest gain from this trip to Yanjing is that he must not despise it because of the incompetence of the Qing political axe, after all, at this moment, the Qing political axe is still recognized by various countries as a legitimate political axe.
Moreover, from the perspective of the European powers, who are in the era of the great development of the industrial revolution and are in urgent need of a commodity dumping market, they do not want a new, strong, and united China to emerge, which is not in their interests, and what they need is to let this dragon continue to sleep.
Compared with normal trade, due to the limitation of ship carrying capacity and distance, the opium business has almost become the lifeblood of the British East India Company, and it is also the main source of British overseas tax revenue.
At the same time, the import of opium has seriously corrupted social customs, destroyed the physical and mental health of people of all strata, and the spread of tobacco and drugs not only brought mental and spiritual damage to the Chinese, but also destroyed the social productive forces, and was also the main reason for the depression and decline of industry and commerce in the southeast coastal areas.
Lin Haijiang was deeply touched by this, and the harm of opium had already been seen at a glance just by recruiting troops, and if it was not controlled and developed arbitrarily, China would have no money to use and no soldiers to recruit in less than 20 years.
Suddenly, there was a report from Goshha that there was a person on a small boat who claimed to be an old acquaintance of the Admiral and came to visit!
"Old friends?" Lin Haijiang frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said, "Let's bring someone to the captain's room in the future!" ”
In the captain's room, Lin Haijiang saw Fu Shanxiang wearing a pleated skirt and a jacket, Lin Haijiang frowned, he didn't remember where he had seen this girl with a slightly middle surname? This kind of capable beauty that only professional female surnames carry is extremely rare in women in this era.
With delicate facial features and decent clothes, coupled with a bumpy figure, Lin Haijiang finally shook his head and said, "Miss! Are you looking for the wrong person? ”
Fu Shanxiang smiled playfully, suppressed his throat and imitated the voice after taking the pill: "I still want to thank Lord Lin for his life?" In the East Hall of the Heavenly Kingdom of the Lower Balance, the top of the heavens will help the Chaogang and reward the Prime Minister Fu Shanxiang! ”
"You're Liley? Li Li is Fu Shanxiang? Lin Haijiang eagerly took a step forward in surprise, and Fu Shanxiang hurriedly stepped back when he saw this: "Please respect yourself!" ”
Lin Haijiang was slightly stunned, and then laughed at himself, if someone asked him who he wanted to see most in this era before crossing, the female champion of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom might be able to rank in the top three, the so-called Cixi Lin Haijiang has seen it many times, but it is a little charming, compared with those Internet beauties in later generations, it is simply a big road.
After coming to this era, the only thing Lin Haijiang felt that the welt did not disappoint him was that Fu Shanxiang was really a beauty as in the legend.
For the women Lin Haijiang himself has seen in this era, the outstanding ones are Wanxin, the proprietress of the Blue and White Building, who is full of royal sister's taste, Shen Yilan, the eldest lady of the Shen family, and the unknown girl who was taken away by Shen Yilan, as well as the Manchu Ai Ye Na Gege and Princess Shou'an Gulun, all of which have a unique style, plus the White Lotus Sect saintess who did not know her appearance without putting the sword on her neck, as well as a pair of little girls in her own family and Fu Shanxiang in front of her!
If his own Wei Xiaobao Wei is Lord Wei, I am afraid that he will not have the ability to gather so many beauties with different identities, positions, and surnames, after all, a novel is a novel, Lin Haijiang thinks that he does not have such a great personality charm, and he can't conquer all kinds of beauties with arrogant and arrogant surnames, and he doesn't want his backyard to become a battlefield.
After laughing self-deprecatingly, Lin Haijiang said to Fu Shanxiang: "You and I can now be said to be friends and enemies, if there is anything to do, please be straightforward, if you want to make any counter-plots, I will advise you not to waste your efforts, otherwise it will be worth the loss to take you, the female champion of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, to reward the prime minister." ”
Fu Shanxiang straightened his face and said: "His Royal Highness the King of the East thought that you let me go first in Guangzhou, and he didn't kill innocents indiscriminately, so he decided to help you complete the task of the Demon Emperor Xianfeng to let you bombard the Heavenly Tianjing, but after completing the task, you must immediately retreat to the north of the Jiujiang River by the original route." ”
Lin Haijiang listened to Fu Shanxiang's so-called conditions and smiled slightly: "I didn't know that you were Fu Shanxiang when I released you, if I knew!" ”
Lin Haijiang realized that he had digressed, coughed awkwardly and continued: "Yang Xiuqing's abacus is really loud, he wants to intercept me, but unfortunately I have no way to do it, he is afraid that I will cut off the connection between Jiangnan and Jiangbei, and I am planning to respond to the Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps of the imperial court." ”
Lin Haijiang looked at the angry Fu Shanxiang and said: "You go back and tell Yang Xiuqing, I can give him His Royal Highness the King of the East this time, he said that when I ask for something, I also hope that he can give me a face, it's as simple as that, there is no point in talking ruthlessly, I guess Yang Xiuqing must have told you before that if I break my promise, I will die without a place to bury, right?" ”
Fu Shanxiang smiled noncommittally, Lin Haijiang nodded with satisfaction and said: "You are very smart, this kind of thing doesn't mean anything to me, what I believe in is justice and justice are only within the range of my cannon." ”
Lin Haijiang paused and said: "You are a very assertive and ideal girl, I admire your pursuit very much, your ideals will be realized after all, if one day the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom cannot realize your ideals, I welcome you to come to me, I will help you realize your ideals and ambitions!" ”
Lin Haijiang didn't realize that he seemed to be talking too much, Fu Shanxiang had completely fallen into a state of crash, all this was too weird for Fu Shanxiang, who was born in a scholarly family? A second-class admiral of the imperial court wants to help him realize his ideals? Could it be that Lin Haijiang will also rebel?
After leaving the Longwei, Fu Shanxiang looked at the bright moon in the night sky, feeling as if he was in a dream?
Lin Haijiang, who was in the cabin, was also annoyed by his gaffe, and the wine in the evening seemed to be a little too much, so that he would only talk nonsense when he saw Fu Shanxiang, it seems that the man's drunken gaffe impulse depends entirely on the object he is facing.
After Fu Shanxiang returned to the Tianjing East Palace, he truthfully reported the meeting with Lin Haijiang to Yang Xiuqing, but for Lin Haijiang's surprising words, Fu Shanxiang always felt a little too ambiguous after thinking about it, so he automatically filtered it out.
Yang Xiuqing was surprised: "Since he has seen through my intentions and is willing to do so, it can only show that this Lin Haijiang may not have a demon court in his heart, such a person is a person we can choose to cooperate with, Guangzhou is located on the southeast coast, there are many foreign chambers of commerce, and the Guangzhou sailor is the water force of the demon court's honor guard, and now the Guangdong sailor has a Western giant ship, so its important surname is naturally extraordinary, and the commander of the Guangdong sailor is a Han man with an ambiguous attitude towards us, which can only be more beneficial than disadvantageous for my heavenly kingdom." ”
After a while, Yang Xiuqing said to Fu Shanxiang: "You contact the Sword Society and the Church Association in Guangzhou, as well as the White Lotus Sect, and ask them to deal with it in secret, don't touch this Lin Haijiang." ”
At this time, a knife player hurriedly walked into the house and whispered in Yang Xiuqing's ear, Yang Xiuqing slapped the table and said, "What do they want to do?" Seeing this, Fu Shanxiang hurriedly retreated, and Yang Xiuqing waved his hand.
At this moment, in the Heavenly King's Mansion, Wei Changhui, the Northern King, Qin Yuegang, the King of Yan, and Chen Chengrong, the Marquis of Dingtian, were indignantly speaking, Wei Changhui was excited to count Yang Xiuqing's disrespectful behavior, and Qin Yuegang echoed it on the side, which was completely a Yang Xiuqing's condemnation and criticism meeting.
In the end, Hong Xiuquan couldn't bear Yang Xiuqing's surname and said: "Yang Xiuqing and I are originally the same plant, even if I don't want to hurt him, but now that he is going further, I have to take a step back?" What is the future of this? Are you waiting for Yang Xiuqing to come here again, Yang Xiuqing will be punished, and he will use it as a fart? ”
Hong Xiuquan's words made Wei Changhui and Qin Yuegang close their mouths, and Hong Xiuquan said to Chen Chengrong, the Marquis of Dingtian: "I have worked hard for you today, I have sent someone to secretly send a thousand taels of gold and two beauties to your mansion, you can enjoy it, the tunnel has been prepared, you better go out of the house with the authentic way!" ”
Dingtianhou Chen Chengrong hurriedly bowed down and retreated, Hong Xiuquan looked at Wei Changhui and said: "It's not a key matter in the future, remember to involve Dingtianhou Chen Chengrong, the secret son lets you use it like this, won't it become a Mingzi?" ”
Wei Changhui immediately whispered yes, not daring to say anything more.
Hong Xiuquan took a deep breath and said, "Qin Yuegang, in a while, I will send a hundred sword players to you to kill all the people who are serving inside and outside today, you may be able to do it?" ”
Qin Yuegang hurriedly knelt down and said, "Please rest assured, Heavenly King!" ”
Hong Xiu was completely expressionless and nodded slightly: "Don't worry!" Just rest assured! ”
