Wang Feng was surging with an awe-inspiring momentum that although there were tens of millions of people, not to mention that the soldiers were deeply encouraged, even Zhou Xiuying, who had just been frightened by the name of the Thirteen Elements, was flushed with shame, ashamed of his cowardice.

Hong Xuanjiao sighed helplessly: "You always have a big reason, anyway, you are a thief ship, you are on board, what else?" Alas, you provoke enemies everywhere, I'm afraid it won't be long, even if there are no foreigners' steamers, the hundred red single boats in Chen Village, and even the thirteen pirate ships hired by the Thirteen Lines will sail into the Yangtze River, see how you end! ”

Wang Feng smiled slightly: "It's not that I want to provoke others, but there are too many rotten people in China, if we want to establish a new China, we will inevitably touch their interests, so it is inevitable that the whole world will be enemies, in fact, I will tell the truth, the threat to us from the Thirteen Lines is far inferior to Chen Village, the mercenary nature of businessmen is destined that they cannot be twisted into a rope, and the hearts of the people are not aligned, where does the combat effectiveness come from?" Besides, it is a good thing that the Thirteen Lines are our enemies, and when we reach Guangzhou in the future, we don't have to make a false accusation with him, just eradicate them and confiscate all our property!

Sister Xuanjiao, think about it, the assets of the Jardine Xingwu family alone were 26 million taels of silver a few decades ago, how much should they have now? And the thirteen lines are just a general term, in fact, there are far more than thirteen, how much will the total assets be combined? Hundreds of millions of taels of silver, right? With this money as capital, we can lay the foundation of China's state-owned enterprises in one fell swoop, and I envision that the military heavy industry and mines will be controlled by the state, and agriculture and light industry will be operated by private capital. ”

Everyone's eyes lit up instantly, and the thirteen elements were a gold mine!

Hong Xuanjiao asked again: "The Thirteen Banks control the vast majority of Guangzhou's foreign trade, and after we eradicate it, who will do the foreign trade?" Will the market be in a depression? ”

Wang Feng said disapprerovingly: "As I said, the essence of the Thirteen Banks is a monopoly organization with collusion between officials and businessmen, who manipulate prices and formulate industry norms that are beneficial to themselves, and exclude outsiders from entering, which is a cancer parasitic on the people of Guangdong and a destroyer of the market order of fair competition!"

They make money on the basis that others can't make money, they have no country, no nation, only interests, such as the Wu family, investing in the United States' railways and infrastructure, we China is so backward, why doesn't he invest? He was also the largest creditor of the East India Company, you know? It is a colonial institution full of blood, and half of the big smoke in the Chinese market comes from the East India Company. During the Qing-British War, the vast majority of the British army also came from the East India Company, therefore, from this level, the Wu family is a traitor and a traitor, and the Wu family must be dictatorial in the future!

As for the eradication, you don't have to worry, the Thirteen Lines have a large number of experienced employees, we can support and encourage them to engage in foreign trade, so as to break the old monopoly chain of interests, and establish a fair, just and open market order, I believe that only by eradicating the Thirteen Lines, Guangzhou will enter a benign and healthy real prosperity! ”

Hong Xuanjiao nodded: "I understand, there is no need to save the thirteen lines, but you have talked so much, and there is no point in one sentence, how to solve the threat in front of you?" ”

Wang Feng turned his head and ordered: "Ding Daquan, from now on, send ships to patrol the Yangtze River day and night, and build beacons in Changxing Shazhou and Chongming Island. ”

"Yes!" Ding Daquan gave up his hand.

Wang Feng nodded, and the corner of his eye inadvertently swept to Huang Kaiguang, Huang Kaiguang immediately lowered his face, and his heart was raised to his throat, Wang Feng's conversation with Hong Xuanjiao did not avoid him, this is a secret, he is worried that he will be torn up!

Wang Feng seemed to see through his thoughts, his gaze stopped, and he said lightly: "Huang Kaiguang, when you leave, I need you to speak to the Thirteen Lines for me, I won't kill you, you can write a letter home with peace of mind when you go ashore." ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Huang Kaiguang wiped the sweat from the corner of his forehead and thanked him busily.

Wang Feng was about to beckon everyone to leave the ship, but he frowned, and a boat came slowly upstream, under the banner of a concession foreign company.

Zhou Xiuying also saw it, and was puzzled: "Who could this be?" ”

Wang Feng took out the binoculars and took a closer look, but there was no one standing on the bow of the boat, so he couldn't see the name, so he hooked his hand and said: "Let's go and see, let's go, come here, throw the body first." ”

"Yes!" The soldiers lifted them in twos and twos, and after a splash of water, they threw all the corpses into the river, and then divided some of their men into the cabin to oar, and rowed towards the incoming boat.

The first time to drive the big pickpocket, the soldiers obviously did not adapt, not only the oars were slow, the rudder was not skilled, and they needed to constantly correct the direction, but fortunately, the incoming boat was gradually coming.

As the distance approached, a few people came out of the opposite shiphold, and Ding Daquan immediately exclaimed: "It's these foreign foxes?" Aren't they in the concession? How did it come from upstream? ”

"Humph!" Hong Xuanjiao snorted coldly: "This doesn't need to be asked, they are not our opponents, and they can't deal with us for the time being, so they can only go to Tianjing to fan the flames, I just don't know if they have seen the East King or the Heavenly King, and what did they say, damn foreign devils, a bad belly!" ”

Wang Feng shook his head and said: "In two days, there should be Tianjing's will to be conveyed, now I think too much and I will be tired, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, wait, before we turn our faces, we and the four foreign foxes are still old friends, so we should say hello and go over." ”

Hong Xuanjiao stopped talking, but there was a chill in her beautiful eyes!

Standing at the bow of the boat, Wen Xian and the others soon noticed the noise ahead, gathering hundreds of boats, some with long rod ropes, which were obviously salvaging underwater things, especially on the beach of Changxing Sandbank, there was a huge object that attracted their attention.

Ali Guo took out his binoculars and looked at them, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh! My God, this is a steam engine, this is a steam engine on the Hermes, they actually fished out the steam engine! ”

As soon as these words came out, the other three people also looked at them, and their faces were gloomy!

For that era, the steam engine was the power, the foundation of industrialization, and the heart of ocean-going warships.

Wang Feng has a steam engine, what does this mean?

Rawell couldn't help but say, "Gentlemen, how can we stop him?" ”

Ali Guo shrugged: "We don't have a single battleship in the concession, how can we stop it?" Gentlemen, look at it again, they salvaged the steam engine, but the ship showed no signs of dispersing, and most of them were still preparing to salvage cannons, if Wang Feng was allowed to get the lathe and imitate the cannon and cannonballs, it would be a disastrous consequence for us! ”
