At the gate of Deju Thatched Cottage in the southwest of Sijiu City, eight Goshha in two rows each pressed the Liuzi fast gun on their waists, and carried Mandeli rifled guns on their backs, standing in front of the door one by one, like copper cast iron, a breeze blew, and the red cherry blossoms on the top of the hat fluttered gently.

Although the Hunan army has been defeated again and again, but only the Hunan army and the Mongolian iron cavalry of Monk Greenqin are the ones who dare to fight with the long-haired bandits, but the Mongolian iron cavalry that Monk Greenqin is proud of has suffered heavy losses in the Bali Bridge, and the ten pavilions have gone to the seven pavilions, which is also an indisputable fact, the swords, guns, bows and arrows are no longer the opponents of foreign guns and foreign artillery, and now even the Mongolian iron cavalry that fights bravely is also defeated.

After the arrival of the horse team led by the king, he did not dare to make a mistake, after all, this is an errand sent from top to bottom, the relationship between his own lord and Zeng Guofan Zeng is extraordinary, and the rules for the lower officials to meet the upper officials should be established, so the king commander said loudly after beating a thousand children at the gate: "Lord Zeng! My family, please! ”

Zeng Guofan, who had already opened the middle door and sat neatly in the main hall, sighed helplessly and said: "Hurry up and invite the king, you don't have to make rules here, you can just say what Lord Sushun asks you to say to me!" ”

Commander Wang raised his head and saw the open door, and was suddenly slightly stunned: "Lord Hui, what do my lords say you want to do?" Is there enough to wear the top? Want me to help him pick it easy? He was not Zhuge Liang, and I was not Uncle Liu Huang, so I didn't have the spare time to play with him in the thatched house, so I burned down his Deju thatched cottage tonight! ”

Zeng Guofan suddenly laughed and said, "It turns out that Lord Sushun also has times when he can't hold his breath?" I'll be with you right now. ”

The king commander outside the door secretly wiped his sweat, after all, Zeng Guofan was also a province with a Qincha feudal territory, so his words were really a bit violent.

When Zeng Guofan went to Sushun's mansion, Prince Yi Zaiyuan poured himself a drink in his garden, since Xianfeng made up his mind to run Lin Haijiang, Prince Yi Zaiyuan, who had a good relationship with Lin Haijiang and even helped to speak, was also deliberately refrigerated.

For the prince of Yi Zaiyuan does not care about being removed from the center of power and being squeezed out from the top and bottom, for the prince, as long as he does not cut his prince, he deliberately deals with it safely, you must know that the princes of the Qing Dynasty are originally the sticks in the hands of the emperor, and they are good when they are used, and they are thrown into the corner when they are not used.

Prince Lin Haijiangyi Zaiyuan has been in contact with him, and he can still think of protecting him when the city of Guangzhou is in chaos, in his eyes, he is a first-class loyal minister and righteous man of the Qing Dynasty!

It's just because it cut off the financial route of some people in the DPRK and China that they were attacked by a group, and it is a pity that the current person can't see this, and those who are small in the DPRK take the opportunity to slander and slander, and now the affairs of Nanyang have reached the point of no return.

Her daughter is nagging in her ears all day long, how does she know that she is no longer able to use a little strength, on the one hand, the Qing Dynasty, on the other hand, the commander of the Nanyang Navy with heavy troops and strong ships and cannons, the attitude of the imperial court is already a little clear, but Lin Haijiang's attitude gives people a feeling of another village?

Could it be that this Lin Haijiang didn't want to pull the flag and set off the cannon? Or is this something to be delayed?

Suddenly, Zaiyuan realized that there was nothing in his cup, so he picked up the wine jug and shook it, but the pot was empty! Zaigaki sighed: No wine!

"The Qing Dynasty is already full of holes, are you all watching the ancestors and ancestors in the sky?" Jae-won threw the blue and white wine jug in his hand high towards the moon, but it still fell back into the courtyard and shattered.

In front of me, I can only listen to the play, drink tea, and now Prince Yi Zaiyuan's only hope is that Lin Haijiang will focus on the overall situation of the imperial court, if Liangguang is pulling the flag and firing cannons, then the Qing Dynasty will already go to as much as sixty percent, but if he is not in his position and does not seek his own government, the link in the creed said that Prince Yi Zaiyuan still knows, but he never thought that there were two people studying him at this moment.

These two people are Su Shun and Zeng Guofan, at this moment in Su Shunde's study, Zeng Guofan has already put forward three requirements to Su Shun, that is, before the first Beiyang army is formed, he cannot use troops to fight with Nanyang, the second must stabilize the Nanyang Lin Haijiang, and the third is to destroy the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom by Beiyang Reading Power!

Su Shun also agrees with the first point, but is a little puzzled by the third point, Zeng Guofan's explanation is that he is relieved to force Nanyang to fight a bloody battle with the bandits to weaken the Nanyang forces, but how can the bandits be the opponents of the Nanyang? I am afraid that after several battles, the Nanyang forces will also infiltrate.

Zeng Guofan's words were like an initiation, Su Shun paced back and forth in the study a few times and then secretly sighed, before he wanted to weaken Nanyang, but he didn't expect that Nanyang's best skill is to fight to raise war, now I am afraid that the so-called bandits in the South China Sea are the foundation of Nanyang's rapid growth, maybe those bandits are the team of Nanyang at all? The one who plundered in the South China Sea was his Nanyang sailor in Lin Haijiang, and he really raised tigers!

As for how to appease the Nanyang sailors, Su Shun and Zeng Guofan both remembered one person, that is, Prince Yi Zaiyuan, but Su Shun was a little worried, Prince Yi Zaiyuan was a prince after all, and he was placed above the danger hall, if there was a problem, he would be greatly inseparable, and Su Shun would have to think about Zeng Guofan's suggestion, but even in the end, I am afraid that he would have to make an idea now.

Su Shun assured Zeng Guofan that he would take out 4 million taels of customs money every year for his expenses in the formation of Beiyang, and Zeng Guofan, who had received the guarantee, also readily agreed to serve as the commander of the Beiyang Naval Division.

After Zeng Guofan left, Su Shun sat alone in the study, he originally thought that Zeng Guofan was a caring person, but it turned out to be a big disappointment, Zeng Guofan, like those Hanchen in the court, was selling fame and reputation, he could experience Zeng Guofan's eagerness from Zeng Guofan's suggestion that Prince Yi Zaiyuan go to pacify the Nanyang Lin Haijiang and Zeng Guofan's plan for the Beiyang.

Actually playing this trick with me, Su Shun also felt that he seemed to be a little impetuous, it may be due to Xianfeng's ardent expectations for him, or maybe it is the huge pressure of Zeng Lingqin who is about to be crowned the prince, Su Shun rubbed his forehead, and let out a long sigh, the bright moon outside the window was quietly covered by a dark cloud.

Tonight is not a sleepless night for Su Shun alone, nor is it a frustrated night for Prince Yi Zaiyuan, Lin Haijiang is also busy and sleepless, after listening to the strategic plan of the staff headquarters of Huang Fei and others, Lin Haijiang decided to increase the number of exports of Fushou ointment, due to the growing time, the harm of Fushou ointment has also been revealed, and the folk Fushou ointment has become a substitute for medicine, and heroin has become the patent of the shogunate and local daimyos.

However, many far-sighted people on the island also confirmed the great harm of Fushou paste and heroin, and some enlightened local daimyo lords began to use radical means to expel Chinese traders, executing more than a dozen people in the process, and confiscating about 2 million taels of silver and 600,000 taels of gold that had not yet been transferred.

The drug rehabilitation and anti-drug activities, which were jointly implemented by the lords of various famous cities and were said to have become a detoxification campaign, gave Lin Haijiang, who was pondering how to open the door of the country, a rare heaven-sent opportunity.

Lin Haijiang was not a good man and a woman, he wanted to use opium and heroin to completely stifle the Meiji Restoration, send a large number of old-fashioned arms to him, incite the ambitions of the lords of the daimyo in various parts of the city, and plunge the island into a series of wars.

When the time is ripe, after a sudden attack, a large number of Han people in the interior are encouraged to emigrate, cooperate with the tampering of culture, religion, and history, and through the final efforts of several generations, the best effect is to make the so-called Yamato nation completely disappear from history, or let the Yamato nation become one of the members of the great national integration of the Chinese Empire in the future, and become a complete ethnic minority.

Lin Haijiang found that he seemed to have entered a dead end as a traverser in the previous paragraph? He is afraid that history will change at the same time, but he is also changing history, although he has lost the insight into the historical opportunity, but this is not a historical opportunity? Now that he has come to this era, if he doesn't completely kill it, then he is really sorry for himself, so that Jia Wu really becomes a non-existent noun!

After listening to the opinions of the General Staff Headquarters, Lin Haijiang decided to organize a crusade fleet, which consisted of seven warships, including Lieutenant Commander Tang Zhiqiang's Fuyuan, Lieutenant Commander Qin Shuige's Pingyuan, Lieutenant Commander Guan Chao's Jiyuan, Lieutenant Commander Ma Tao's Jingyuan, Lieutenant Colonel Ma Jiang's Zhiyuan, Lieutenant Commander Du Haipeng's Laiyuan, and Lieutenant Commander Xu Muchen's Weiyuan.

According to the plan of Huang Tao and Li Anmin of the General Staff Headquarters, 3,000 marines will set off with the ship, with Ma Jiang as the commander of the fleet, Li Anmin as the chief of staff of the fleet, and Wang Cunyi, lieutenant colonel of the Marine Corps, commanding the marines with the ship.

Shen Tianfu, as the plenipotentiary representative of the old port, followed the flagship Zhiyuan to Yueben for negotiations.

The Great Sultan of Sumatra before Lin Xing? Sha Qiu met Lin Haijiang, the heroin of the luxurious life has completely corroded the body and will of the ambitious young sultan, and now Sumatra has become the richest island in the South Seas, and the original Acehnese have almost all become mercenary merchants, they like to have fun, like to accept new things from outside, no one cares about the land they lived in before, the barren island, he has had enough of the salted fish family's coarse rice porridge.

Originally, they were attached to their homeland because they had never really gone out, but Lin Haijiang brought them everything they needed, and many Acehnese people were able to live very well by renting out their village's land to merchants to build warehouses and factories.

The island of Sumatra has become the largest pirate sales place in the South Seas, and the abundance of high-quality and inexpensive goods has made the Acehnese people want to go out and see, so nearly eighty percent of the young and middle-aged people on the island have left, and even the Sultan Guard, which originally numbered as many as 6,000 people, is now less than 2,000 people.

But the Great Sultan Mahmed? Sha didn't care about these things anymore, he was concerned about being able to find purer heroin, and he wanted to stay for a while in the supposedly more prosperous port of Batavia, where the many dogmas and strict Islamic teachings made it difficult for him to realize the wine ponds and meat forests that Lin Haijiang had rendered.

Looking at the Great Sultan Mahmed? Sha left gratefully, and Lin Haijiang was also a little dazed, is he a good person or a bad person? Or can't be understood in a simple definition?

However, one of the things that gave Lin Haijiang a headache was Mark Lin. Count Voto is leaving office, and his successor as the next Governor of Indonesia is Mackrin. Count Botto's nemesis, Count Hinkson! Press Macklin. The words of the Count of Botto are that of a man who has given a monkey a coat, and he Macklin. Botto's friend must be the enemy of Count Hinkson, who is very insidious, extremely unprincipled, and lies all day long, with a very low level of credibility.

But for Macklin. Lin Haijiang also listened to Count Boto's slanderous words, he didn't think that there would be eternal enemies in this world, as long as there were enough interests, in the eyes of most Western politicians, even if he killed his father and enemy, he could shake hands with a wine glass.

Before the fleet departed, Lin Haijiang deliberately told Li Anmin, the chief of staff of the fleet, to let him protect Shen Tianfu's personal safety, because of the cooperation with the Lin family, Shen Tianfu's thirteen general ledger was no longer able to continue, and now it was just an empty name, in fact, he still became the largest merchant in Southeast Asia, and the old port controlled by Lin Haijiang and the goods handled by Guangzhou had to pass through his name, which also made the Shen family's financial resources continue to expand.

Although Shen Tianfu has achieved unprecedented success in business, he knows very well that the Great Qing Kingdom has categorically lost his place for Shen Tianfu, so Shen Tianfu turned his heart sideways, since he got on the thief ship of Lin Haijiang, then he must have the determination to live and die with the ship.

So Shen Tianfu moved the family business to the old port, and built a new house opposite the Lin Mansion, Shen Yilan also took the little girl to the Lin Mansion all day long, and the Lin mother was very happy, although the son's two concubines were around him, but the position of the wife was always empty, seeing that the son was getting older and older year by year, the lifelong event still had to be worried about the parents after all.

Shen Yilan and the Lin family are happy up and down, Lin Haijiang naturally has to protect Shen Tianfu, who is very likely to become his own Taishan, usually no longer dare to shout at Shen Tianfu, Lin Haijiang's attitude also made the people below feel something, in addition to Lawrence in the old port, Shen Tianfu is another special person who can enter the staff headquarters to participate in the meeting.

On the second floor of the General Staff Headquarters, Lin Haijiang gave Shen Tianfu, Ma Jiang, Ma Tao, Li Anmin, and others a very simple plan: From October to the end of next year, Prussia will have four ships returning to China, two of which will be ironclad capital ships with a full load displacement of more than 8,600 tons.

Lin Haijiang will not wait for the ship to return to China before starting sea trials and sea training; he advocated sending officers and men to the Hamburg shipyard to participate in the final assembly of the ship and the installation and commissioning of the weapons system, and to build up combat effectiveness while debugging.

The ships are in place, and the original two earliest protective cruisers will be handed over to the Imperial Chinese Naval Academy in the old port as training ships, and the rest of the warships will participate in the campaign to liberate Hainan Island, Taiwan, and the Ryukyus, as the first step in the strategy of encircling the mainland with a chain of islands.

For a while, all the captains were enthusiastic! The day they've been waiting for is finally coming!

Shen Tianfu also took a deep breath after listening to Lin Haijiang's arrangement, what should come will come after all, Shen Tianfu has expected that Lin Haijiang will definitely not let others dominate the lord from the day he moved to the old port, and if he encounters a crime of imposition, he will fight back.

But now it seems that he still underestimated Lin Haijiang, and surrounded the mainland with chain islands, as a springboard for attack, which can be conquered and dominated, and can be used to defend against enemies and countries outside, what a big layout is this? I'm afraid that Lin Haijiang has started to lay out since the day he just returned to Guangzhou a few years ago, right?

If Lin Haijiang really did the world, if he married his daughter and made the main house, wouldn't he be the father-in-law of the country? Her daughter is the queen! For a while, Shen Tianfu was also a little overly excited, and he decided that he must tell his daughter to marry into the Lin family as soon as possible, and he became the eldest grandmother of the Lin family first.

After arranging the principles of this punishment, including Shen Tianfu and even Li Anmin, Ma Jiang and others, no one knew where he had offended Lin Haijiang? So much so that they first imported Fushou ointment and heroin, and then transferred troops to punish them, and finally wanted to exterminate their nation under the pretext of national integration?

Lin Haijiang never explained the reason for this, he only told his subordinates that I needed the land of the book, and that's it, and for Li Anmin, Ma Jiang and others who were trained and famous for their rigidity and stereotype, Lin Haijiang's sentence of "I need" was equivalent to an order, and the soldiers only carried it out without asking whether it was right or wrong.

After the practice reception, Lin Haijiang, accompanied by Huang Tao and Li Anmin, went to the war room of the staff headquarters, and it can be said that since the Battle of Guangzhou, almost all of Lin Haijiang's strategic and tactical decisions have been designated here.

Lin Haijiang is now more concerned about the future situation of several regimes established by the Chinese in the Nanyang region, because the integration of Southeast Asia is an irreplaceable step in Lin Haijiang's strategic intentions, so for the Portuguese, Dutch, Spanish and other countries that exist in Southeast Asia in addition to the British power, Lin Haijiang will gradually compress their living space, make their colonies unable to pay, and finally force them to give up their colonial actions in Southeast Asia.

However, among the few existing Chinese forces in Southeast Asia, one turned out to be the Lanfang Republic, which Lin Haijiang was more familiar with in later generations.
