Chapter 52: The Dharma Does Not Pass on Six Ears
It can be said that Lin Haijiang did not plan to buy firearms at Guangde Foreign Company, and he was going to move Ye Mingchen's appropriation orders to Prussia, although the firearms would be about four months late, but at least Prussia could ensure the manufacture of fine precision.
Moreover, Lin Haijiang had already made contact with the Prussian charge d'affaires in Guangzhou, Evid, and he had already provided the Prussian side with the idea of the transformation of the magazine magazine, the five-round bridge, and the grappling hook.
It can be said that in terms of specific weapons manufacturing and design technology, Lin Haijiang is tantamount to a half-hanger, not even a half-hanger, but he can provide creativity for future generations, after all, creativity is the most important step to achieve the goal in the end.
And in Lin Haijiang's view, what he did was in line with the production momentum and scientific and technological productivity of this era, because even if a weapon scientist was put in the Song Dynasty, he would not be able to make a breech gun.
Although some things seem to be very simple, we often ignore one thing, that is, a simple rifle actually represents the progress of an industrial era and the development of science and technology, from smelting to the processing of precision instruments in lathes, to the perfection of ballistic theory, the application of mechanics, the development of chemical technology, and so on.
And all the links in it are indispensable, which is why Lin Haijiang didn't sketch out the main keel perspective laying, deck, turret layout, bridge as a whole and hull force diagram of the dreadnought-class battleship, which he liked to be familiar with in his chest.
Because no one knows better than Lin Haijiang, even if he paints it, including the British shipyards, no shipyard in the world can manufacture it, at most it can only refer to some designs, whether it is the artillery armor tower motor, or the hull of the manganese high chromium gold plate, it cannot be manufactured in this era.
In the evening, Lin Haijiang met with Ye Mingchen, and described in detail the situation of today's meeting with Guangde Foreign Company, Ye Mingchen was also very helpless about this, after all, the foreign guns and foreign cannons were in the hands of foreigners, and only ten years had passed since 1840, and foreigners were categorically unwilling to give me the ships and cannons, which was also in common sense.
Lin Haijiang immediately expressed his desire to teach people to fish rather than to teach them to fish! Then put forward the idea of buying a tool, Ye Mingchen looked at Lin Haijiang in surprise, and said after a while: "It's good, but foreigners don't even want to buy us, and they can still give us the tool you said?" ”
Lin Haijiang said with confidence: "My lord doesn't know, this foreigner is also intrigued, for example, Prussia and France are mortal enemies, and Britain and France have joined forces to restrain Russia, and the combination between them can be seen as interests, but they are a group of out-and-out real villains!" ”
Ye Mingchen hesitated for a moment and said: "It's very good that you can have this insight, this matter is very important, I want to present a rule to the emperor, you wait patiently first, such a major event must not be rushed, your six battalions of people and horses have to practice at night, recently Hong Rebellion and the White Lotus Holy Sect and other stubborn bandits have colluded very closely, Bai Gui has used all his thoughts on me, ignoring the following things, his Fubiao camp is about to become the incense hall of the White Lotus Holy Sect, last time you beat their people, you must be careful to release them in the near future, once the time is ripe, I'm going to send you six battalions of soldiers. ”
"Humble duty understands!" Lin Haijiang arched his hand.
Ye Mingchen immediately asked, "When will this Yangyi's gunboat be transferred back?" Ben Governor noticed, has already gone one? ”
Lin Haijiang smiled slightly: "Routine patrol, the humble post did not hand over the resignation to the other side, mainly because I wanted this ironclad ship to be convenient for me to clear up." ”
Ye Mingchen nodded slightly and said, "En! If the law is not passed on to the six ears, this matter should not be talked about by others, so as not to cause another incident, and it can be said to the outside world that it is an iron cargo ship purchased by your family in Nanyang. ”
Ye Mingchen suddenly asked, "I don't know how powerful this ironclad ship is?" How many taels of silver do you need? ”
Lin Haijiang was slightly stunned when he heard this, could it be that Ye Mingchen wanted to buy a big ship while engaging in foreign affairs? This is a real move that changed history! This is likely to have a direct impact on the Anglo-French War of 1860.
So he cautiously replied: "Only ten ships can defeat the British Far East Fleet, and fifteen ships can protect our Qing Sea Frontier for five years, and the unit price of each ship is about 1.7 million taels, and the cost of artillery, ammunition, ships, and personnel is no longer included." ”
When Ye Mingchen heard about 1.7 million taels, he immediately gasped and said: "Good guy, the power is very strong, and the price is sky-high!" With my financial resources, I can't support it! Unless the emperor succeeds with the national strength of the Qing Dynasty, I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed! ”
Lin Haijiang nodded slightly in disappointment and said, "I understand!" With Lord Ye's strategic and wise leadership, our army will be invincible and invincible! ”
Ye Mingchen smiled slightly: "Less sycophants!" Immediately, Ye Mingchen picked up the teacup symbolically with his surname, and Lin Haijiang hurriedly got up and said goodbye.
When they left the Liangguang Governor's Palace, it was already dark at night, Zhang Zheng and Gao Qi, who had been waiting outside the Governor's Palace, saw that Lin Haijiang was a little depressed, and they didn't dare to ask more, Lin Haijiang looked at the pedestrians on the street and said to the two: "You two will have a holiday tonight, just remember to board the ship on time tomorrow morning." ”
Zhang Zheng smiled and said, "Could it be that there is something inconvenient for adults to bring their subordinates down?" ”
Looking at this lewd smile, Lin Haijiang said angrily: "It's inconvenient for your grandma, Lao Tzu is going home to see Lao Tzu, do you want to go with you?" ”
Zhang Zheng and Gao Qi smiled and were about to retire, when suddenly Lin Haijiang remembered that he was beaten into a pig's head a few days ago, so he said: "You two will walk with me for a while, I have something to ask you." ”
The three of them rode horses and walked leisurely on the street, Lin Haijiang said absentmindedly: "Do you know the girl next to me when I was beaten last time I recruited soldiers?" ”
"That girl?" Zhang Zheng and Gao Qi obviously looked like they were looking at him, and Lin Haijiang snorted coldly: "The amount of training seems to be much easier recently, it seems that it is necessary to strengthen training!" ”
"Ahh Zhang Zheng and Gao Qi hurriedly said: "Lord Lin, don't be joking, two twenty-mile weight-bearing cross-country every day, queue training in the morning, physical training in the afternoon, and comprehensive tactical night training for two hours in the evening, people are going crazy." ”
"Oh?" Lin Haijiang frowned and said, "Then why didn't anyone complain about the deserter appearing?" ”
Zhang Zheng and Gao Qi exchanged glances helplessly, and they slandered in their hearts: You eat every day as if it were the New Year, and the silver is not deducted on time, and a fool is only a deserter.
But the words couldn't be said like that, Zhang Zheng and Gao Qi arched their hands and said: "Naturally, Lord Lin is strategic, wise and martial ......."
"Stop! Don't pat yourself on the back, let's get to the point! Lin Haijiang glared at the two of them, Zhang Zheng and Gao Qi's words made him feel very familiar?
Zhang Zheng smiled slightly and said, "My lord is really anxious!" ”
Gao Qi glared at Zhang Zheng and said, "If the girl of that day is not mistaken, it must be Shen Da Boss, the chief shopkeeper of the Thirteen Lines, and Shen Yilan, the daughter of Shen Tianfu." ”
Lin Haijiang said softly: "How are you so sure? ”
Gao Qi smiled and said: "Lord Lin doesn't know, this Miss Shen family can be regarded as a strange person, a strange woman who doesn't love red makeup and loves arms, because of her weak health since she was a child, her father sent her to Emei to learn art with a lot of money, and she only returned from learning art the year before last, but the person who proposed her almost broke through the threshold of the Shen family, but then she was gone!" ”
Lin Haijiang waved his horsewhip, and Gao Qi, who wanted to sell a pass, hurriedly continued: "That's not simple, let's talk about a pair of heavenly feet first, few of the young masters of the official eunuchs can stand it, in addition to Xu Feifei's pair of ice-carved heavenly feet, there is that woman in this Guangzhou City?" And Miss Shen is also a martial artist, like a lion roaring in Hedong, anxious for justice and righteousness, there is a famous chivalrous woman in Guangzhou City, who can stand such a fierce woman? The Shen family was reluctant to let her be a concubine, so the marriage was delayed. ”
Gao Qi then smiled evilly: "If Lord Lin is interested, make sure that old man Shen hugs the thigh of your son-in-law and doesn't let go." ”
Lin Haijiang glared at the two of them without making a sound, he had a very strange feeling about Shen Yilan Lin Haijiang, as if he had known each other in his previous life, but for Shen Yilan, who was beaten into a pig's head and still didn't make a move, and finally said a few words and took his beautiful sister away, Lin Haijiang was more unwilling in his heart.
Immediately, Lin Haijiang smiled self-deprecatingly, women are always an indispensable symbol of men in the pursuit of power! Since God has given him a chance, I am afraid that he will not forgive himself if he does not do something for this suffering nation.
Back at home, Lin Hanlin, as a father, naturally taught this son who he was proud of a hard lesson.
He wants Lin Haijiang to know that he is not the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and he Lin Haijiang is not the Dayu who controls the water, and if he dares to pass through the door without entering, beware of his legs.
However, Lin Hanlin is also very proud now, even the teahouse he doesn't often go to has Dr. Tea reserved a seat for him early, and everyone must call Lin Zun Boss respectfully no matter who they don't know.
Lin Hanlin knows very well that this is everyone's spontaneous respect after his son taught the foreign devil a lesson, which can't be bought by any amount of money! This time there was an influx of refugees, and he opened the orphan rescue hall as usual, and adopted 100 orphans and more than 300 orphans aged 12 or 33 years old.
But Lin Haijiang is very helpless, no matter how well he does, the old man always seems to have a reason to clean himself up? Lin Haijiang finally figured it out after three times, and the old man was looking for success in his own place.
What makes Lin Haijiang the most depressed is that domestic is different from abroad, there are so many elbows from all sides, and the officials at all levels under the imperial court system are extremely slippery, and they will dig the pit for you while talking and laughing, and finally you have to take the initiative to jump down yourself!
There is such a group of people who specialize in how to play people in the imperfect political system, Lin Haijiang really doesn't know whether to be happy or sad?
