When Wang Yi got the distressed letter from Hu Xueyan, although he was a little surprised, it was not surprising. At this time, Li Yuzhen and Nie Xiong were sitting opposite him, and Wang Yi smiled and said, "What do you think about this?" ”

Li Yuzhen thought for a while before saying, "It's not easy to do!" ”

Nie Xiong nodded, agreeing with his mentor's opinion. He looks very similar to his name, one meter nine big, and his description is fierce and full of masculinity. However, he is cautious and prudent, and the most important thing is that he has a ruthless investment vision and an extremely tenacious character. In fact, Wang Yi also likes Ding Xiaotian a lot, that is, he has to accumulate a few more years of experience, and he will also be a material that can be made in the future.

"It's not difficult to save them, and it's not a problem for my Dashang Bank to come up with this money, but the water is too mixed in this turmoil, whether it is necessary to intervene, I personally have reservations." Li Yuzhen began to express his opinion.

Nie Xiong obviously had the same opinion: "The teacher is right, besides, Hu Xueyan's silk shop was not very friendly to us at the beginning, and Anton's textile group went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to collect silk, but they didn't even sell us." "Nie Xiong is very dissatisfied with this matter." Since you want to save the country and snatch the pricing power of raw silk, it's up to you. But you have cut off even your own business. If it weren't for the gradual development of the Northeast Silk Source, we would have cut off the supply. ”

Wang Yi held the teacup, and Shen Yazhi helped him rub his shoulders behind his back. The girl is very well-behaved on weekdays, and when Wang Yi talks about things, he doesn't ask about the decision-making of big businessmen.

Nie Xiong continued: "Anyway, Fukang is always going to go bankrupt, since this is the case, it is better to wait for them to go bankrupt, and we will help them take over the mess, which can be regarded as benevolent and righteous." ”

Wang laughed, Nie Xiong was not wrong to do this, he was responsible for Dashang, and the life and death of other people were naturally not within his consideration.

"You have a point." After that, he put down the teaglass, stood up, walked to the side of the bed and looked out for a while, before saying, "Hu Xueyan, we still have to save it, but we can't save it so directly!" ”

Ding Xiaotian got Nie Xiong's reply, and there was not much written on it. To sum up, there are four points. First, with Qingyutang as collateral, the loan was 2 million taels of silver, with a three-year statute of limitations. Even if Fukang's problems are alleviated, the Hu family will be able to repay all the loans. But from then on, all the prescriptions of Qingyutang were also used by Dashang. Second, sell all the real estate of the Hu family in Shanghai, because of the outbreak of the Sino-French War, the land price is calculated at three folds, totaling one million taels. Third, 5,000 bales of Hu Jiasheng's silk were purchased at a price of 50 taels per pack, totaling 2.5 million taels, which was 30 taels cheaper than the current market price per pack. Fourth, Qichang will help the Hu family to carry out raw silk ocean trade, and the freight will be increased by three times.

The four points must be accepted together, if you are willing, you are fully willing, and if you are unwilling, you are completely unwilling. The conditions given by Wang Yi were very harsh, and Ding Xiaotian himself smiled bitterly after reading it, isn't this just taking advantage of the fire to rob? But think about it, this matter must be done, otherwise it is likely to offend Li Hongzhang.

When Hu Xueyan got the reply from the Dashang headquarters, his face immediately turned blue, and he said in his heart, Wang Yi deceived people too much! But thinking about the current situation of Fukang's collapse, it is interesting enough for people to do this, at least they didn't let the Hu family go bankrupt directly.

After thinking about it for a long time, Hu Xueyan agreed to come down.

Sheng Xuanhuai was reading a book in the study, when the subordinate suddenly knocked on the door and said, "Master, something important." ”

"Enter!"

"Tell the master, the news from Shanghai, Hu Xueyan personally came to the door to ask for help."

"The result?" Sheng Xuanhuai stood up, his eyes were as cold as lightning, and he was angry.

"Dashang agreed to Hu Xueyan's request, but the conditions were very harsh."

"On what terms?"

The subordinate explained the conditions, and after listening to Sheng Xuanhuai, he breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that Hu Xueyan could not die, but even so, he would have to lose at least four million to five million net worth. Dashang is really ruthless, but in the end, Hu Xueyan escaped and ascended to heaven, Sheng Xuanhuai was inevitably unwilling. In fact, before dealing with Hu Xueyan, he wanted to send a telegram to Dashang and ask for help, but when he thought that he couldn't move the other party at all, he gave up. Unexpectedly, what to be afraid of, what to come, Hu Xueyan finally found a big businessman. Although it was caused by the big businessmen to suffer heavy losses, it was finally left with a breath of life.

"Hey, forget it!" Sheng Xuanhuai waved his hand, sent his subordinates out, and then wrote a letter and asked someone to hand it over to Li Hongzhang.

When Li Hongzhang knew the news, he also sighed, although he felt a little pity in his heart, but it was not unacceptable. After all, Dashang's knife was too ruthless, although it was only bloodletting, not killing. For big businessmen, Li Hongzhang doesn't want to offend, these people are a group of bandits, and they will do everything in a hurry. Dropped a bomb outside Xizhimen and almost blew up the Sorghum Bridge, which was the Royal Wharf. Who knows if they are deliberately biased, or they are still biased, Cixi herself does not dare to say a word. Since Dashang robbed Hu Xueyan of money, Li Hongzhang felt that he should look at it honestly, and just treat it as if this incident did not happen.

Hu Xueyan used nearly half of his net worth to exchange for 5.5 million cash silver, which solved the crisis of Fukang's collapse in an instant. Later, in addition to Qichang's transportation of Hu Jiasheng silk to the UK for trading, including the steamship China Merchants Bureau, several other shipping companies that originally blocked the export of Hu Jiasheng silk finally lifted the blockade when they saw that this was the case. There is not much raw silk that is really transported by Qichang Foreign Company, and Hu Xueyan actually earned more than 2 million taels of silver in the transaction of the remaining 9,000 bags of raw silk. So the real loss was only 3.5 million taels in the end. In addition, after the outbreak of the Sino-French War, Shanghai real estate did plummet. Only then did Hu Xueyan understand that Wang Yi actually didn't make much, and he counted it, but it was only one hundred thousand taels, and then there were all the prescriptions of Qingyutang.

For this matter, Zuo Zongtang also wrote a special letter to Wang Yi to express his gratitude. Hu Xueyan did the same, and later went to the northeast to invest in return, and then helped the textile group to raise raw silk and cotton in the south, and then sold the garments of the big merchants in the south, which opened a new business route for the big merchants.

Since then, Hu Xueyan has learned well, and he has not done the kind of monopoly trade that seems to be very profitable, but is actually extremely risky. In fact, he is also afraid, what he controls in his hands is not only his own money, but also many big officials who can make the entire Qing Dynasty tremble with a stomp. Once these people suffer losses, the Hu family will definitely be ruined.

Although Wang Yi saved the Hu family, he was powerless to prevent the financial crisis that spread from Shanghai to the entire Qing Dynasty. Too many money banks went bankrupt, too many merchants were affected, and the tea silk trade, which could have brought a lot of income to the Qing Dynasty, suddenly became a failure, which caught many people off guard.

Wang Yi didn't pay much attention to Hu Xueyan, and after Qingyutang's prescription was sent to Dashang, it was directly transferred by Wang Yi to the School of Pharmacy for active ingredient research. The side effects of traditional Chinese medicine are actually very large, and there are some unnecessary ingredients that can be removed. Otherwise, the patient's liver and kidney function is really unbearable, and it is not uncommon for patients to suffer from liver and kidney failure. This matter is in charge of a special person, and Wang Yi does not have to worry about it. On the other hand, the issue of antibiotics has recently received a lot of international attention. Many countries want Dashang to disclose the prescription, but Wang Yi sternly refused, the antibiotic represented by penicillin is one of the core secrets of Dashang Pharmaceutical, how can Wang Yi make it public.

However, a new chain of interests has emerged, that is, the underground smuggling of penicillin. However, under the severe crackdown of the Northeast Autonomous Government, it finally disappeared. But this sparked an international dispute that Wang Yi did not expect.

Yang Qiuxing, the premier of the Northeast Autonomous Region, was chatting with Wang Yi on the phone in his office. This person is also a strange talent, he can speak well, that mouth has a fight with a woman, and in order to do one thing, he tries in every possible way, and he will never give up. Even Wang Yi was a little afraid of him, but he was also very supportive of him, in order to provide a stable source of wealth for the autonomous region. The Dashang donated all the shares of the railway to the regional government, but the management rights remained in the hands of the Dashang, and two-thirds of the profits went to the autonomous region. In addition, Dashang also gave away shares related to electricity and communications. The result of the exchange is that the centigold is abolished and replaced with normal tax revenue. Originally, the Northeast Customs was in the hands of the British, Hurd, but Wang Yi sent a notice to the British ambassador Pashali that the Northeast Autonomous Region would take back the customs control power.

Because Pashali did not want to provoke big merchants in the Far East, after several rounds of negotiations, he finally agreed, and at the same time stopped selling opium to the Northeast.

However, as soon as Yang Qiuxing put down the phone today, the confidential secretary brought the news that Britain and the United States had requested official trade negotiations on the export of antibiotics. After reading the news, Yang Qiuxing probably understood that these two countries did not dare to provoke their teacher Wang Yi, so they wanted to open the door from his side.

In principle, all types of antibiotics are not exported to the outside world, and only Wang Yi's foreign allies will have stocks, but the stocks are very small, and a course of treatment is similar to using the same weight of gold. But even so, no matter how much other people can afford, it is impossible to buy it, because the big merchants simply can't produce so many supplies. However, the name of the miracle drug of antibiotics is now spreading more and more widely, and at first it was thought to be nonsense in Western countries. But when Charlie Farma actually treated a relative with pneumonia with sodium penicillin intravenous infusion, the whole of Britain was shocked. Then something amazing happened in the United States, Jack Sparrow's relatives had encephalitis, which was later cured with penicillin.

After these two cases, as well as the rush of reports in major newspapers, Dashang's antibiotics finally became known to the world. Although it is a good thing to be famous, it is a pity that big businessmen are not blessed. If it was a terminal illness in the past, it is possible to be cured now, but because there is no medicine in his hand, he can only end up waiting for death. The poor may be fine, but the rich and powerful will never tolerate it. If it weren't for the strong military in Wang Yi's hands, maybe the first antibiotic war would have started in the northeast.

"Sir, British Ambassador Pashali and American Ambassador John Young are waiting to meet you at Yingkou, would you like to give them a call?" Confidential secretary Jian Yì said.

Yang Qiuxing frowned when he heard this, and said, "If you talk about antibiotics, let them go to my teacher, I don't have the leisure to talk to them about it." He thought about it afterwards and made a phone call.

"Hey, hello Mr. Ambassadors, I am Yang Qiuxing, Prime Minister of the Northeast Autonomous Region, and welcome to the two of you."

"Oh, hello Mr. Prime Minister, it's a pleasure to meet you. The prosperity of the Northeast makes us feel shocked and envious, and we also hope that the Northeast can be more prosperous under your leadership. John Young said it very politely.

"Thanks, I'll do my best. By the way, I don't know what happened to the two of you rushing from Beijing to our northeast? ”

"Recently, I heard that Guidi can produce a miracle drug that has a good effect on various bacteremias. Her Majesty the Queen of our country, and Mr. President of Citigroup, both hope that more of these drugs can be imported from your land, and that Mr. Prime Minister will be able to make it easier. Pasha said with a smile.

Yang Qiuxing smiled and said, "I have also heard about the medicines that the two ambassadors said. But that's a product of Dashang Pharmaceutical, and according to the laws of the autonomous region, even I can't ask a company to export their products. We will not point fingers at the market excessively, and we hope that the two ambassadors will forgive us in this regard. Of course, as our traditional friend, I will be a matchmaker and introduce my teacher to Mr. Wang Yi. If you can convince him, I think there will be no more problems with the export of antibiotics. ”

Pashali and John Yang glanced at each other, a little helpless, and finally had to say: "Then it will trouble Your Excellency the Prime Minister." ”

After Wang Yi received Yang Qiuxing's call, he smiled and said, "Why do you kid cause trouble for me if you're fine?" ”

"Sir, you are the wicked person who sued first, if it wasn't for the big businessman to get the antibiotic, how could there be this trouble?"

These words choked Wang Yi enough, and finally said, "Okay, I'll see them." ”

In fact, when Wang Yi answered Yang Qiuxing's call, there was a new trouble in front of him. There was a girl standing opposite him, this girl he had met a few times before, her name was Zhao Lan, the sister of Zhao Ziguang, the deputy commander of the Air Force, and Xu Xiao had no nominal girlfriend.

However, when Xu Xiao died of a shipwreck, this lovely-looking girl seemed to fall into great grief all of a sudden, and later even took over Xu Xiao's unfinished business and continued to develop hybrid rice. Zhao Ziguang is very helpless about this, his sister is now in high school in Dashang, although she is not in the same class as Shen Yatou and Qianjia, but she is also a famous talented girl in the same grade. The future is promising, and everyone knows it, but now for Xu Xiao's sake, he has to abandon some and devote himself to something that looks great, but is really boring to do. This made Zhao Ziguang very dissatisfied, so the brother and sister quarreled about it.

Of course, Wang Yi will slander him, what is the matter with your brothers and sisters who have nothing to do in front of me? However, he also knew what Zhao Ziguang meant, which he could understand, but he didn't agree.

"Are you sure you want to transplant other people's dreams into yourself? I don't know anything in the world that is crueler than killing my dreams. ”

The girl was stunned by Wang Yi's words, in fact, she revered Wang Yi very much, she had her own dreams, but ......

"That's no one else, he's Xu Xiao." The girl's eyes were stubborn.

When Wang heard this, his heart was somewhat moved.

"You can start a war for him, why can't I take over his dream?"

"Xu Xiao in the Spirit of Heaven won't like you to do this, in fact, it's enough for you to have this heart." Wang Yi was very emotional, such a girl is rare in the world.

The girl suddenly burst into tears and said, "If I don't want him, no one in this world will miss him." I want to inherit his dream, otherwise I am afraid that one day I will forget him, so how pitiful is he? ”

Zhao Ziguang, who had not spoken on the side, sighed, Shen Yazhi and Qianjia walked by, comforted the girl, and shed tears together.

Wang Yi thought for a while and said, "I don't object to you wanting to inherit Xu Xiao's dream, but it's ......."

"What?" The red-eyed girl looked up and asked.

"But you have to finish high school, now you are in high school for a year, and you are only two or three years away from graduating from high school, and then there will be university exams, and then you can choose your dreams and apply for related majors."

The girl thought about it and nodded. "Thank you, chairman, I'll work hard."

Wang Yi looked at Zhao Ziguang and said, "Don't force your sister anymore, she has her own life, and you can't decide a good one." When she thinks it's right, you let her try it, and if it's a qiēshun lì, it's naturally best. In the event of a setback, it is actually enough to have your haven as a haven. People live for a lifetime, how can there be so many times to distinguish right from wrong, and it is useless to think too much. ”

Zhao Ziguang pondered for a moment, although his face was not very good, he still nodded.

After answering the pair correctly, Wang Yi finally met with the British ambassador Pashali and the American minister John Young a day later, in fact, these two countries are not the only countries that want antibiotics, but France, Russia, and Japan, even if they want to, they don't have the face to come to the door. The two sides are hostile and are still at war.

Pa Xia Li and Yang John both saw Wang Yi for the first time, although they had heard of Wang Yi for a long time, but the young age of the Qing people in front of them still shocked the two.

"Hello, Mr. Pashali." "Hello, Mr. John."

"Hello, Mr. Chairman"

The two sides shook hands very amicably, and then Wang Yicai said: "I have heard about the intention of the two of you, this is the general manager of our Dashang Pharmaceutical, Kyle Watson." You can ask him for advice. ”

Kyle Watson, a German who graduated in pharmacy himself, was later invited by Wang Yi to Dashang and took courses in economics and trade on his own. Only then did he take on the position of general manager of Dashang Pharmaceutical, but he did not expect to become one of the most watched figures in the world. Even the German Emperor Wilhelm I and Chancellor Bismarck wanted him to return to China to preside over Germany's pharmaceutical factory. However, he was rejected by Kyle Watson, because he is now not a German, but a big businessman.

"Our factory can only produce 10,000 antibiotic injections* per month, and we can't meet these drugs alone, so it's not that we don't want to export, but we can't do it." Watson has a characteristic German old-fashionedness, and when he speaks, he doesn't have much expression.

Pashali didn't like the Germans, and John Young didn't like it now.

"Mr. General Manager, we don't ask for much, two thousand per month, this is always okay, right?" Pashali said helplessly.

"Isn't that clear what I'm saying? We don't have enough of ourselves, we don't have the energy to export. ”

Pashali felt that he could not communicate with the Germans at all, so he turned his face and said to Wang: "Mr. Chairman, I wonder if the production technology of penicillin can be exported to China?" ”

"What do you think?" Wang laughed.

Pa Xiali also felt that he was a little strong, but under the pressure of the domestic magnates, he had to bite the bullet and say: "Mr. Chairman, as long as you are willing to let go of the technology export of penicillin, my country is willing to exchange any technology." “

Wang Yi smiled more intriguingly this time, and said, "I can't think of any technology to import from your country. ”

It was only at this time that Pa Xia Li remembered that the Dashang Industrial Reality Room was the holy mountain in the current world scientific research field, and people did not need any technology from their own country at all. Maybe it may be needed in the early years, but when the heavy industry and light industry foundation of the big business gradually accumulates, all Wang Yi has to do is wait.

A qiē will be there.

However, Wang Yi is not too bad to give these two people face, and the Americans can say that the British are now the most powerful country in the world after all, and it is completely unnecessary to offend them for an antibiotic.

"I think so, by the end of the year, the output of penicillin will be increased to 50,000 sticks per month, and then I promise to give the two 5,000 sticks a month."

Pashali nodded, and John Yang had to agree.

"But I have a requirement that these drugs can only be sold in pharmacies that are franchised by our big merchants, and that your country must guarantee that our patents are not infringed. Once we find out that someone is copying our medicine, and you don't intervene in time to stop it. Then I'm sorry, from now on, Dashang will no longer sell any medicines to you, I hope you two can forgive me. ”

Pasha Li and John Yang both looked very friendly and said, "Yes! ”

Later, in 1884, they took the initiative to invite the Northeast Autonomous Region to the Berlin Conference. This was an unexpected invitation, and Wang Yi happily accepted this proposal to divide the African continent.

After agreeing to the export requirements of Britain and the United States, Wang Yi also agreed to Germany's request, which was also 5,000 per month, and according to the common requirements of the three countries. From now on, for every 10,000 bottles of antibiotics produced by Dashang Pharmaceutical, the supply of antibiotics in each country will increase by 1,000. The price of drugs is negotiated by all parties, and of course the price of the big business is used as the benchmark. It's not too outrageous, but after these antibiotics were shipped back to other countries, they still caused a strong backlash from the local population. Because the price is too high, the poor simply cannot afford to use it. For a long time, antibiotics were given the name of aristocratic drugs.

Wang Yi doesn't care about this, as long as you pay, if you have a bad conscience, it has nothing to do with him. However, compared with Britain, Germany and the United States, the magnates of other countries also have people who are afraid of death, but they are not as powerful as the big businessmen, and they cannot coerce. As a result, he once again engaged in the smuggling of penicillin from the Northeast Autonomous Region, and even blatantly committed acts.

Yang Qiuxing was unrelenting in this regard, and finally suppressed this unhealthy trend again.

In 1883, the head of France, Jouferry, finally became the prime minister of France again, and the war between France and the northeast officially ignited the enthusiasm of the French people. And their national policy was to expand the colonies, first Vietnam, and then to the whole of the Qing Dynasty. Because he was dissatisfied with the delaying policy of the French minister to China, Baohai, not long after Jouferi came to power, he removed the minister who had eaten all the white eyes in the Qing Dynasty. After that, it was De Ligu who was sent, but it didn't last long, and he also rolled up and left. Since then, France has not left an ambassador in the Qing Dynasty, and only Xie Manliang, a counselor, is temporarily in charge of the daily affairs of the embassy.

Speaking of which, it is not for nothing that the French are so enthusiastic about foreign aggression.

On September 2, 1870, when he was defeated by the Prussian army at Sedan, Louis Bonaparte, the emperor of the Second French Empire, who had been distracted by Bismarck's altered telegram and rushed to war, was a ball of shit compared to his uncle's bravery. His greatest skills were the rape of a maid and the seduction of a neighbor's lady, as well as the deception of a French peasant who had illusions about his uncle Napoleon. After the defeat, Napoleon III, along with a marshal-general, a train of officers, plus more than 100,000 French soldiers, became prisoners of the Prussians! And that's not counting the 25,000 unlucky guys who were killed or wounded directly on the battlefield.

On 19 September, the Prussian army marched on Paris and occupied its large cities. On January 18, 1871, the Grand Hall of Mirrors of the Palace of Versailles was the hall for the coronation of King Wilhelm of the Second German Empire. This is a great disgrace for any country. No matter how finished our Qing Dynasty is, no emperor of the great powers will come to the Taihe Hall to ascend the throne...... Of course, it is likely that it is too far away.

Then the alliance was signed, the Franco-Prussian War ended, and the humiliation of Napoleon's defeat of the Prussian army at Jena-Oerstädt was washed away. Not to mention the great loss of French military strength, it also lost the title of the first army power in Europe. And that's not even the worst of it! Bismarck's war reparations of five billion gold francs (this thing is gold) are tantamount to bloodletting on the French. Having said that, Bismarck himself regretted it later, he originally did the business and shouted the price, but his own voice, the other party agreed without even thinking about it, obviously the price was lower. If you want to blame yourself, you have not seen the world, you come out of the countryside, and you have not seen the luxury of France.

The political situation in France, which had restored the Republic, was not at peace for more than a year.

First of all, the Paris Commune, which was established after the workers' revolution on March 18, 1871, followed by Thiers, who was in Versailles, fought a bloody battle with the workers' National Guard, and after the last resistance at the Père Lachaise cemetery was suppressed, Paris was bloodied, and Monsieur Thiers's seat did not last long. When the proletarian revolution was suppressed, the most embarrassing thing for the republicans was that most of the French ordinary people and the National Assembly at that time were still inclined towards the monarchy. Instead, the republicans became a minority.

In the parliamentary elections held on 8 February 1871, the "royalists" won a resounding victory, winning 420 of the 645 parliamentary seats! Mr. Thiers, who had been bored with his boss, was forced to resign on 24 May 1871 after the parliament issued a motion of no confidence in his government.

The struggle for power between the two factions lasted until 1875, when the republicans finally regained control of parliament, and France, which had been greatly devastated by these events, naturally had no extra strength to take care of overseas affairs.

After 1880, France was humiliated and began to become angry, driven by fanatical national chauvinism, to gather strength for the glory of France. The vengeful France quickly expanded its army and reorganized its army, leaving Germany on pins and needles. As a result, a new round of diplomatic offensive of the iron-blooded prime minister was launched: the alliance with Russia and the United Kingdom, and the combination of vertical and horizontal actually gave the French rooster who was holding back no chance to go crazy. The nest of legal persons can be imagined, is there anything more depressing than having a grudge and nowhere to revenge, and having nowhere to vent anger? The whole of France, from the prime minister to the common people, is like a ball of dry wood, and the slightest spark will ignite a raging fire.

It was in Annam that Comrade Liu Yongfu gave the French such an excuse, and he killed the French Colonel Lee Willy.

Who is Liu Yongfu, a certain rebel of the Qing Dynasty who was about to be blown into the god of war.

Liu Yongfu, a native of Shangsi Village, Bobai County, Guangzhou, grew up in a poor family, and his hometown was affected by the disaster when he was a child, and he fled to Qinzhou with his parents. When he was twenty years old, Liu Yongfu, who was so hungry that he couldn't live, decided to rise up and took a group of poor brothers and poor brothers to participate in the Tiandihui uprising.

It is said that this product was a chameleon in the early years, and money-loving bitches have not remarried so often!

In 1857, he voted for Zheng San, a subordinate of Wu Lingyun, the leader of the Guangxi Heaven and Earth Society. In 1860, he switched to Wu San. After that, he voted for Wang Shilin. In 1865, he switched to Huang Sihong. In 1866, he switched to Wu Yazhong. In 1868, he joined the Vietnamese government, and in 1869, he cooperated with the Vietnamese government army and his former peasant army comrade-in-arms Huang Chongying to attack. In the same year, the Vietnamese government prepared to expel Liu Yongfu's ministry and invited Feng Zicai to suppress him. In 1870, Liu Yongfu, who was extremely panicked, expressed his sincerity to the Vietnamese government with a handful of snot and tears, and expressed his willingness to kill Huang Chongying in order to save himself. In 1875, the Qing army that cooperated with the Vietnamese army and Xu Yanxu completely exterminated Huang Chongying, and he was promoted to deputy admiral of Sanxuan, but it was not actually granted.

From 1875 to 1877 he relied on Baosheng, where he extracted cents of gold and developed his military power.

In 1878, the Qing army general Li Yangcai rebelled, and Liu Yongfu led the troops to clean up, which gave him the position of deputy governor of Sanxuan. After that, he returned to his hometown as a Yue official, and covered all the military expenses of 100,000 taels of silver accumulated in his hands on the grave of his parents.

The weakness of the small court of the Nguyen clan in Vietnam gave the remnants of Liu Yongfu, who were already dying at that time, a god-given respite, and the remnants of this Tiandihui anti-thief army quickly gained a firm foothold in the border areas of northern Vietnam and Vietnam...... Comrade Liu's troops were able to re-develop and grow in this power vacuum, and successively received refugees, bandits, wanted criminals, deserters, and remnants of the Tiandihui and Taiping Army scattered by the regular Qing army.

Liu Yongfu, who was mediocre-looking, short and thin, organized these stragglers and mobilized the masses in combination with the local peasants, and became a brave practitioner of the theory of people's war.

He organized a team of about 2,000 people, with a maximum strength of no more than 3,000, and was initially divided into three battalions, namely the front battalion, the left battalion, and the right battalion, which were respectively led by Huang Shouzhong, Wu Fengdian, and Yang Zhuen, all of whom were brave and fierce people. With Liu Yongfu's knowledge...... Relatively speaking, with the courage and perseverance of the three generals, the Black Flag Army quickly became an important separatist force in northern Vietnam! A well-organized, agrarian and warfare army, well trained compared to bandits. Because of its use of the black battle flag with seven stars, it is called the Black Flag Army by the world and future generations!

Originally, the old Liu Guangrong's warlord life was very good, but unfortunately the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and the two Frenchmen came uninvited, which made Liu Yongfu very angry. One is called An Ye and the other is Li Willy.

French Navy Captain An Ye did not come to Vietnam on any military mission, but was commissioned by the French colonial authorities to lead an exploration team to survey the Mekong River. The aim was to determine whether the Mekong was suitable for commercial navigation, driven by the huge interests of the colonizers and arms dealers, and the French were not trying to knock on the door of the southwestern border of the Qing Dynasty through Vietnam. As a result, the Mekong River proved unsuitable for business and trade! However, by mistake, a more suitable Red River was discovered, and its upstream extended all the way to the boundaries of Yunnan Province in the Qing Dynasty.

Could there be more exciting news for the French colonial authorities?

No!

So, without further ado, in October 1872, Captain An Ye took 26 European adventurers and 125 mercenaries on board two river gunboats, four steamboats, a small steamer, and a Chinese sailing ship. All the way into Tokyo Bay in the Red River Delta. Arriving on the outskirts of Hanoi on November 5 and on the morning of November 20, with more than 150 men in his hands, it took two hours to break through the important town of Beiqi defended by thousands of Vietnamese regular troops - Hanoi City!

King Yue panicked, and later thought of Liu Yongfu.

Lao Liu was ordered to take advantage of the fact that most of the French army was on vacation, and led people to attack the barracks. With only twenty soldiers and a hundred puppet troops in his hands, An Ye took the initiative to attack. Unexpectedly, Liu Yongfu fell into the arms of Liu Yongfu and ambushed this group of arrogant French invaders at the paper bridge. An Ye died in the chaos, but some of the twenty or so French soldiers ran back to Hanoi City surrounded by thousands of people. It can be seen that the combat power of the Black Flag Army is far from being as fierce as rumored.

Fortunately, at that time, France was also tortured by Prussia to take care of itself, and this matter was forgotten.

But the Li Willie who came back in 1880 was not a second-team player like An Ye, and directly became a colonel.

On April 25, 1882, Li Weili led two companies of marines, plus 150 army soldiers, three gunboats, two mountain guns, and 15 Annam snipers to attack Hanoi again! and quickly crushed the resistance of the Vietnamese defenders of Hanoi, up to seven thousand people. Defeating seven times as many opponents as An Die in the same period of time, in addition to once again proving the incompetence of the small Vietnamese court, there is also the ability of Colonel Lee. And he played a far more clever hand than An Die, and "returned" the city to the Vietnamese government a week after conquering Hanoi!

At this time, the Qing Dynasty finally began to pay attention to this armed force in Vietnam, but it was composed of Chinese from top to bottom.

On the eighth day of the third lunar month in 1883, Tang Jingsong was stationed in the Black Flag Army as a "liaison" sent by the Celestial Empire, and became Liu Yongfu's temporary guest military advisor to give him advice.

It can be said that this was the beginning of the Black Flag Army's first step from being a regular army to a regular army, and to Liu Yongfu's joy, Tang Jingsong brought him a definite answer that he could restore the nationality of the Great Qing Dynasty.

"The Celestial Empire is lenient, and all my descendants of China, but who can resist foreign insults and defend the country, are all good people of the Qing Dynasty."

When Tang Jingsong said this, he didn't expect Liu Yongfu, who is very attentive on weekdays, to take it seriously, and it seems that he is also homesick and nostalgic for his homeland.

On April 25, 1883, after Liu Yongfu was blessed by Tang Jingsong and became patriotic, he felt that he had the Qing Dynasty as a backer, so he did not take the small Vietnamese court in his eyes, and arrived in Hanoi with 2,000 elites.

Li Weili did not make An Ye's mistake again, hid in the city and did not come out, and waited for help. At that time, Liu Yongfu was still very dangerous, the French army began to assemble in southern Vietnam, and if Lao Liu could not fight quickly, it would not be Li Weili who died at that time, but himself.

On May 9, Liu Yongfu wrote a letter to Li Weili, which was full of enthusiasm and tried his best to tease, but he was not fooled.

However, on May 15, the Black Flag army besieged an earthen fort defended by 30 French soldiers, but did not expect to fight all night, but instead of victory, they suffered heavy losses. I didn't expect that this time it was not a deliberate show of weakness, but an unexpected surprise. Li Weili felt that the Black Flag Army was nothing more than that...... In fact, it is. Li Weili began to take the initiative to attack the position of Liu Yongfu's house. Six encirclements, and five were directly penetrated by people. Liu Yongfu was afraid that he felt that there was no hope at that time, but at this critical moment, he did not expect Comrade Li Weili to learn from Changshan Zhao Zilong, and planned to have a Changban Slope in Hanoi, so he rushed out alone.

Isn't this fun?

Don't talk about Zhao Yun, even the five tiger generals of Shu are here, in this era of guns, it is to die!

Liu Yongfu himself was shocked, is there anyone more stupid and two-hearted in this world? hurriedly asked people to release the gun, and directly collapsed Li Willy, but he didn't die. As a result, in order to grab the credit, the others directly aimed all their guns at the hard-working French colonel without commanding.

But at this moment, a French captain named Yaguan showed a fearless spirit and used his body to block in front of Li Weili, so he ...... The first round of muskets of the Black Flag Army was all hit on this man. (In other words, in domestic movies and TV series, I have seen a lot of bullets for my comrades, but I have never seen real people and real things.) ）

In the face of such a touching scene, Liu Yongfu, who was standing on the opposite side, of course would not be moved in the slightest, the only feeling was to hold his breath, how could it be so difficult to kill a Li Willy! So he took the lead in the second round of black guns, and finally no one was blocking the bullets for Li Willy, so he ...... He's dead.

But now is different from the past, after Willy Lee's death was reported back to France, it immediately aroused strong dissatisfaction among the French people. The long-accumulated hatred for Germany, coupled with the anger caused by the surprise attack on Nagasaki by the big merchants, finally found an outlet today.

Wang Yi looked at this rotten account at this time, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, it was really a crazy era.
