Chapter 293: The Thirty-Eighth Parallel of the Nineteenth Century

"Mr. Yang, I have to warn you cautiously that if you insist on continuing like this and constantly undermine the interests and control of various countries in the Far East, you will cause uncontrollable trouble! At that time, the United States of America probably could not provide you with any asylum. ”

In the American Concession, in the top tourist restaurant of the Oriental Book Building, the American Minister Tian Bei stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window with a hot coffee in his hand and looked at the Haihe River that meandered like a jade belt, reminding Yang Hao meaningfully.

Yang Hao stood on the other side, stirring the coffee unhurriedly with a silver spoon, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and said easily: "Mr. Minister is too worried, I have no intention of challenging the existing international order." However, China is after all the territory of the Chinese, and the major powers want to seek hegemony here, and I absolutely will not allow it. This is the bottom line, and no one should be allowed to trample on it. ”

Minister Tian Bei shrugged helplessly, and changed his tone to a more relaxed tone: "Okay, okay, the United States doesn't really care too much about this issue, and our focus is not on the Far East. I'm just making a kind reminder on behalf of a person, well, an old friend. ”

Yang Hao raised his eyebrows and said indifferently: "Thank you." I'm still a little wary of the British schemes. I'm more concerned about another thing, though. Mr. Minister, are you here to inform me that I have lost my status as a U.S. citizen? ”

It has been a year since he appeared as an overseas Chinese in the United States, and the American devils did not bother about it at the beginning, but now they plan to turn their faces?

Tian Bei took his other hand out of his pocket and shook his head with a wave of his hand: "No, no, no!" I think you must have misunderstood something. Mr. Yang, you are different from other overseas Chinese. The United States can refuse a poor ghost who goes to find a job. But he will never turn down a billionaire national. Even if you can't tax him. Can you see what I mean? ”

Yang Hao sneered in his heart. It's strange if I don't understand!

No matter now or a hundred years later, the style of American devils has never changed. They can discriminate against pagans and people of color, but they never admit it. They reject all non-Anglo-Saxons and Jews, and firmly control the ascending channel with an invisible ceiling, but they will never refuse any foreign money, even if you are a murderer, arsonist, and drug dealer.

In the past, his origin was unknown, his identity was uncertain, and his status was unstable. At any time, he was in danger of being killed by the Qing court. It is quite normal for Americans to calculate him.

But now, he has become a big man in the East, with two of the strongest armies under his command, and even if the British want to move him, their navy alone will not be able to sweep him away in one fell swoop. Such a powerful figure, with untold wealth, would make a fool drive him out.

The United States, that's how realistic it is!

Even further, if Yang Hao can become the ruler and hegemon of the East, then as long as he shows a posture of leaning towards the United States. So Tian Bei, the people who proposed to cooperate in the construction of Yì, and the party bigwigs behind them. will make infinite political capital. When the time comes, everyone will share the spoils together, how happy!

"I hope we can work together more happily in the future!"

Yang Hao took the coffee cup and touched him lightly, and they knew each other.

Tian Bei was very satisfied with such an answer. At the end of the day, the United States has devoted too little attention to the Far East, there has not been an economic crisis that has been too strict before, and the tide of development within them has continued for many years, and domestic demand has been enough to deal with the rapidly expanding industrial expansion. But this time the financial crisis has felt an unprecedented pain, and the United States must find the next exit.

On the other hand, it is the United States that has found that its strength is no longer small, and it should appropriately change its national policy, try to open its mind, and embrace the larger world. China, on the other hand, would be an excellent choice.

Tian Bei and they have not been idle these days, through the analysis of the data collected by Guò, they were surprised to find that if the series of policies that Yang Hao is implementing are promoted, even if it only affects a direct subordinate, it may create a huge industrial group that is definitely not smaller than the United Kingdom. At that time, relying on the sea border alone, the world's largest river transportation, and the terrifying population of 430 million, it will be enough to support its rapid development for many years. Not surprisingly, a mighty China will be born in the Far East.

The British tried to completely control them and become a dumping market and raw material supplier with a low degree of development, but they could not make a sound.

Based on this judgment, Tian Bei hurriedly came to visit Yang Hao, and was first taken aback by the earth-shaking changes in the American Concession!

Looking down from the tallest building in the East, the small American concession seems to be able to step out in one step. Compared with the French Concession and the British Concession, which are ten times larger, it is more like a magnificent and beautiful castle. They are the messy and ugly countryside.

The streets, which are as straight as each belt, are full of people, looking tens of thousands, bustling, but orderly.

In every open building, there is a queue for both sales and food consumption, and even if it is open day and night, there is almost no leisure. I'm afraid that the daily turnover figure will shock Wall Street, right?

And the kind of unique "Golden Yuan Coupons" circulating here is simply a stroke of genius in Tian Bei's opinion. With the help of the commercial power of the Young's group, which was so large that no one could resist it, it was enough to quickly issue it to a single bank, and it could even become the first credit currency to replace the silver standard and silver bills and be accepted by the locals. It is impossible to estimate the magnitude of the benefits.

However, now is not a good time to think about similar questions, Tian Bei settled down, looked directly into Yang Hao's eyes and asked, "Mr. Yang, can you tell me frankly, what are the benefits of you sending troops to help Goryeo restore the country?" I'm afraid it's going to hold back one of your best forces, right? Aren't you afraid of being taken advantage of? ”

Yang Hao smiled mysteriously: "I'm waiting for them to do that again." Did you know that Orientals are very particular about 'being just'? Only if the other party makes enough mistakes, I will not lead to too much criticism when I fight back. ”

Tian Bei suddenly realized, but still shrugged incomprehensibly: "I always thought that history was written by the victors, as long as you have enough strength, you don't really have to care what other people say." ”

Yang Hao stretched out his hands: "Actually, I'm not ready yet." ”

Tian Bei thinks this is nonsense at all. There is not a single army in the whole of China that can fight, and tens of thousands of Yang Jiajun are enough to sweep a single qiē. Those scrap wood, which even the Japanese army could not beat, could not have the courage to resist. A vast empire of 430 million people. I couldn't find a strong army. It sounds ridiculous, but the facts are right in front of you, and it's really speechless!

Yang Hao didn't want to explain to him that the current anti-Qing sentiment among the people was not sufficient, and there were still too few talents in his hands to ensure that once the matter was raised, the places he took would be able to effectively control it immediately and carry out the reform according to his ideas.

Tian Beidang didn't want to start a discussion about it. I had to change the subject back to the beginning: "Okay, let's start at the beginning." Please be sure to seriously consider my construction, your troops must not continue to attack, you know, this is the joint mediation of the five countries, and the powerful countries always cherish their honor. Or to put it in Eastern parlance, we also want to save face. ”

Yang Hao understood that if he continued to go south, the annoyed and angry Five Kingdoms would have to use this to transfer troops to fight. When the time comes, a scuffle is inevitable. He couldn't afford to stab such a hornet's nest without a stable foothold in order to slap his face.

However, he couldn't approve of it, and he tightened his face and said solemnly: "I can accept the mediation of the five countries." But Japan must withdraw from the Goryeo Peninsula, this is the bottom line. ”

Tian Bei was helpless about his toughness. He sighed and said, "Mr. Yang, Japan's excuse is to help Goryeo enter the ranks of civilized countries and get rid of the status of vassal vassals of other countries. This is very popular internationally, and you can't challenge the accepted order of the whole world. ”

Yang Hao raised his chin arrogantly: "We can also help them achieve civilization and progress, this is not a contradiction, right?" ”

Tian Bei shook his head: "That's different." After all, Japan was the first to propose it, and of course I am in favor of their withdrawal. These days, the Japanese army has behaved very badly and rather disappointingly. ”

The foreign devils who killed people and set fires all over the world in the past did all kinds of evil, and now they have washed their feet and come ashore, and they have begun to show their so-called mercy. However, in the matter of supporting Japan, he was slapped in the face by countless irrefutable evidence, and the brutality and animality of the Japanese made the gentlemen feel disgraced, and they were not so justified in their words.

Yang Hao once again lifted the coffee: "I think some differences cannot be eliminated in a short period of time. However, I have a good suggestion, in the case of not being able to reach a complete agreement, we might as well take a step back and use the Goryeo Peninsula as a platform to test the theories and practices of both sides and see who is right. ”

Tian Bei's eyes widened in surprise, and an incredible expression appeared on his face: "You mean, you want to divide Goryeo in two?!" ”

Yang Hao spread his hands: "Is there anything wrong with this?" Anyway, they now have two governments, and I don't think it's appropriate to remove anyone, so it's better to let them have a competition. ”

Tian Bei immediately thought of the original United States. The two governments, one in the south and one in the north, each implemented different political systems, and finally completed the reunification in a tragic war. How much blood was shed and how much loss was suffered, the Americans themselves know very well. Although the North won the final victory, by the way, it achieved complete financial independence. But the price is too great!

That kind of situation was originally planned by the European financial groups, the war in the north led to the bankruptcy of their conspiracy, the rise of the American consortium and a series of other results.

Unexpectedly, today, a young conspirator has emerged in the East, could it be said that he has actually sensed the failure of a series of schemes manipulated by various countries behind the scenes?

Tian Bei's heart was in turmoil. Such a sudden news made him unable to make a clear judgment for a while, and he could not continue to say the rest of the words. Taking a sip of the coffee that had been cold, he suddenly felt an unprecedented bitterness.

Over the next few days, a negotiation took place in the American concession in which neither the Qing nor Goryeo participated. The final result was that the Goryeo Dynasty was divided into two parts, north and south, with the 38th parallel as the boundary. With Dayuanjun and Li Xi as the leaders of the country, with the support of the two forces, they reorganized the country's politics and competed freely.

North Goryeo chose to remain a vassal of China, but implemented a constitutional monarchy; South Goryeo became an independent state, and Yi Hee was promoted to the first emperor of the Korean Empire.

Originally, he planned to build the country "Guangwu", but was sternly rejected by Yang Hao. How dare a small broken feudal country compete with the great Han Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu?

No, they could only change the name to the "Xingwu" dynasty. (To be continued......)
