Chapter 499: Secretly Summoned
Wang Feng's eloquence, Wen Xian has long been informed, to tell the truth, he still admires Wang Feng's ability to reverse black and white, in addition to being a little annoyed in his heart, but more helpless.
But it was the first time that Allen saw Wang Feng's ability, and he was stunned, and he was justified in harming Britain? So many people died, but it was better to die?
Although she repeatedly told sΓΉ that she was not like this, this is pure nonsense, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is some truth, if you want to refute it, there is no way to talk about it, I want to admit it, and I am very unwilling, and I can't help but feel more and more annoyed.
"Humph!" After taking several deep breaths, Alan snorted angrily: "Mr. Wang Feng, you are indeed a character, and I have to admit that even the best orators in Europe are far inferior to you." β
"Thank you!" Wang Feng smiled slightly.
Seeing Wang Feng's harmless smile, Alan only felt panicked in his heart, and then his voice changed, and he said: "Alice doesn't know what you did abroad, she naively thought that you really went abroad to investigate, her heart was all tied to you, and she gave birth to a child for you, and you, not only deceived her, caused turmoil for her motherland, tricked her to give up her faith, and didn't even give her a wedding, are you worthy of her?" β
The smile on Wang Feng's face stiffened, what he owed the most was Alice, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "I'm sorry for her, she is a kind girl, I don't want to hurt her, so I hide it from her." β
"You have some conscience." Allen's expression softened a little, and he said angrily: "Everything has happened, Alice can't do without you, it's too late to say anything now." We just want you to remember what you said. β
Wang Feng hurriedly promised, "Alice gave up a qiΔ for me, Ms. Allen. Please rest assured that you and Mr. Bonham will cherish this feeling. Don't let her be hurt in the slightest. β
"By the way, you don't seem to have it yet" Alan suddenly looked at Wang Feng, and as soon as the words came out, Wen Xian pulled her and said, "This matter is over, you are busy, let's go and see where Xiaoxue is." With that, he hurriedly grabbed his wife and walked out.
Not far from the Ten Thousand Scrolls Hall, Alan was dissatisfied: "You dead ghost. Wang Feng hasn't made a queen yet, Alice has a chance, today he feels guilty, it is the best time for him to promise to make Alice the queen, but you're good, why don't you let me say it? β
Wen Xian looked back and saw that Wang Feng didn't come out, so he lowered his voice and said, "It is a big deal in which country the queen is in, and all aspects must be taken into account." Not because of the emperor's own temperament, Wang Feng did feel a little guilty about Alice at present, but it was not enough for him to rule out Alice as the empress.
Wait, according to my analysis of China's recent history. Wang Feng's immediate priority was to destroy the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, completely control the vast territory of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and even soon fight against the Qing army in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River. The establishment of a queen will only be considered when the country is formally established, and it will not be useful to mention it too early. Maybe it will make him feel dissatisfied and offset the guilt of Alice. This is more than worth the loss, and there will be opportunities later. Otherwise, you and Francis will stay in China for the time being, and after a while, I'll go back to London by myself, but don't just talk about it, huh? β
"Okay then." Alan nodded not too confidently
Although Wang Feng is worried about his daughter, he still has a lot of things to do, first of all, Amanda's family, this family has no relatives with him, and it is not suitable to live in the Master of Nets Garden, after Wen Xian and his wife left, they immediately asked the female soldiers to arrange a place for them to live, and then asked people to secretly recruit Wang Youling, Sheng Xuanhuai, Zhang Wanchang, Rong Hong and other important personnel.
"Commander Wang, are you back?" When they saw Wang Feng's golden knife sitting on the top, everyone couldn't suppress the joy in their hearts and gave salutes one after another.
"Okay, sit down, don't make a noise about my return for the time being." Wang Feng smiled and beckoned everyone to sit down.
"This trip to Britain was a complete success, and the British lost the ability to intervene in China by force for at least five years," Wang Feng first gave a detailed introduction to the British trip, and after listening to it, the dignitaries in the hall were relieved.
As for the British army, the strict military discipline, the sophisticated equipment, and the style of not fearing death still caused the Democratic Alliance army to have a headache up and down, and when they heard that Britain was unable to interfere in China's affairs, their confidence in the unification war immediately exploded.
At the same time, they all secretly gave a thumbs up, you know, to go to Britain to launch an uprising, except for Wang Feng, no one else can do it.
Wang Feng waved his hand again and said: "Although the shape is beneficial to us, but the British are good at making bad moves, their diplomatic foundation is offshore balancing hands, with the goal of helping the weak and suppressing the strong, creating division and chaos for the opponent, not paying attention to courtesy, righteousness and shame, we must not take it lightly, we must do it step by step, there is no need to rush, now tell me about the situation in the country, who will come first?" β
brushed, all eyes were on Wang Youling, Wang Youling is the vice premier of the Government Council, if Wang Feng is the emperor, he is the prime minister, and he needs to be the first to speak.
Wang Youling was not humble either, and arched his hand: "At present, the surrounding environment is generally stable, and the camp in Jiangnan and Jiangbei is squeezed by our army, and it is only shrunk in the size of Nanjing and Yangzhou.
In addition, after the occupation of the Jiaodong Peninsula by our army, the Qing court re-established the monk Lingqin, stationed in Jinan, Tai'an and Zibo with heavy troops, and the Sixth Army could not hold on, although there were occasional skirmishes, both sides were able to restrain themselves, for the time being, the Qing court did not have the intention of retaking Jiaodong.
In the rest of the aspect, the junction of Zhejiang and Fujian is not conducive to the use of troops because of the mountainous area, but the most calm, Nanjing has increased the attack on the two lakes, the Qing army is not good, if as expected, I am afraid that Yang Xiuqing has the intention of abandoning Nanjing and turning to the two lakes in Sichuan. β
As he spoke, Wang Youling took out a stack of reports, flipped out a few and said: "Commander-in-chief, due to the overall stability of the surrounding areas, the economy of the areas under the jurisdiction of our army has made great progress, and the number of points can best reflect the actual situation, I will tell you about last year's industrial and agricultural production."
Wang Feng occupied Suzhou in the summer of 1853, and the fiscal revenue in the first half of the following year was 2.6 million taels of silver, and the GDP was not calculated, but in the whole of 1855, the total fiscal revenue of the cities, including Suzhou, reached 18 million taels of silver, and the GDP excluding the tertiary industries such as the service industry was 55 million taels of silver for the whole year!
Due to the number of the tertiary industry is more cumbersome to collect and count, and the statistical bureau has insufficient manpower experience, so it is not included for the time being, the 55 million taels of silver are all industrial and agricultural output value, influenced by China's traditional agricultural country, the proportion of agriculture is still quite large, up to seventy and a half, but with the vigorous development of industry, the proportion of industry will gradually rise.
Among the captured Indian captives, except for Queen Zhangxi, who needs to redeem herself with a thousand Caucasian virgins, it takes a long time to recruit manpower, and the other three earth kings have sent ransoms as promised, and they have been released back to China a year ago, and among the remaining high castes, nearly three-quarters of them have paid ransom!
