In 1869, the American side west of the Pacific Ocean could be said to have undergone a earth-shaking change, and just when Li Mengyang, the emperor, fought in the eastern part of the United States, one victory after another, a major event occurred in the east of the Pacific Ocean......

"Brothers! Kill! ”

"Ahhh

"Young and old! Don't be a seed! ”

"Get closer!"

Bang bang bang...... Thundered......

Songjiang Mansion, this 'mansion' can still govern SHANGHAI, it should be said that this is the core of the SHANGHAI area, but now it has become a battlefield!

Fighting?

Yes, it's a fight!

And this battlefield is so strange, those defenders are all Chinese without braids, and the attackers, on one side are braided, that is, the Qing army, and on the other side are foreigners!

A row of artillery on wheels was placed, and a foreigner officer on horseback was giving orders.

"6-inch shells! 800 yards! Preparation! ”

“YES-SIR！”

“FIRE！”

Although these foreigners mainly provide artillery support, their strength is also not to be underestimated.

How is this all there?

It all started three months ago......

In other words, didn't Yang Guangren find Xiang Jinying and Xiang Jinxiu in Hong Kong, let the two of them pretend to be Hong Xuanjiao and Hong Tianming, that is, to take advantage of the inheritance of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Don't say it, in just a few years, he Yang Guangren really did it!

Many of the Taipings had been sold to Peru to dig up guano. These people were brought back in large numbers. And the tribes scattered in Southeast Asia. As soon as everyone heard that the banner of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was pulled up again, this is good!

Anyway, there is a secret connection, and there are obvious ones, but it really has a lot of people coming.

Isn't that right? Could it be that the people of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom are so conscious? They came as soon as the organization summoned them?

It's really not, in fact, it's all about one word, money!

How does it have to do with money?

The simplest, let's just say those Taiping soldiers who dig up guano in Peru, how much does it cost them to come back?

So how did Yang Guangren get all this money? That is, real money?

It's actually very simple. It's just doing business, but the business he does is different, his business is the rubber business in Southeast Asia!

Rubber, who's going to use this thing? Of course, it's the Empire, the Empire's Hongqi Automobile Factory!

That's right, don't look at the current technical aspect is still very rough, that is, the quality of the tire, the technology, it's a mess, but the current rubber tire is also a tire. It's also much more comfortable than before, and it used to be able to turn people half to death. Now it can turn people upside down.

Death is raised to disability, this is progress, don't underestimate this progress......

In short, the automobile industry needs a lot of rubber, and Southeast Asia has rubber, Yang Guangren is in Southeast Asia, he turned out to be one of the big members of the empire, such a series of relationships, he does not do this business, who does this business?

And now, the large demand for rubber has not been a few years, and many people have not realized the importance of this thing, saying that the main production areas of rubber are basically controlled by the French, but the French do not know what these white and sticky ones can do......

That's right, as long as this secret recipe can be controlled, then it is difficult for people nowadays to associate tires with this liquid, and the appearance is too different...... There are scientific theories, but you must know the prevalence of illiteracy in this era, and many people still think that this kind of technology is useless at all, and the speed of news transmission is very, very slow, so it is too simple to control.

Such a muffled and wealthy business, Yang Guangren is doing very high, it is really a lot of money, he is tantamount to monopolizing this business, and it is also tacitly approved by His Majesty the Emperor, everyone also thinks it is a good thing, the key is that in the final analysis, this money is made by the French.

Then this brings a consequence, what he has to do, can be advanced!

Anti-Qing Restoration ...... Oh yes, now it's 'Expelling the Tartars and Restoring China'!

He changed it himself, but it didn't matter......

There are money, there are people, there are guns, there are cannons...... Because of the United States, the latest howitzers of the Empire cannot be supplied, and the production of this thing is still very low. In addition, in terms of guns, Yang Guangren's initiative is not to want the latest products, but to ask for the old-fashioned rifle that can fire Migne bullets, of course, it is best to change it to a reload.

Reloading is good, it is convenient to shoot lying down, and another important reason is that after all, there is a Pacific Ocean in the middle, which is too far, and the consumption of this bullet is very large, what should I do if I run out of food? Therefore, it is better to ask for that old-fashioned paper-wrapped Migne bullet, Yang Guangren only needs to buy a large amount of primer, and they can even make the rest of the things themselves, the latest type of big bullet still occupies a lot of space......

So since everything is ready, why don't you do a guy?

SO, THREE MONTHS AGO, YANG GUANGREN LED 30,000 RECOVERING TROOPS, ON THE ONE HAND, THEY AMBUSHED THE INNER RESPONSE HERE IN SONGJIANG MANSION, AND ON THE OTHER HAND, THEY LANDED FROM THE OUTSIDE, AND THEY ATTACKED TWO TIMES, AND WON THE FIRST BATTLE!

SONG JIANG MANSION, LET'S JUST SAY THIS PIECE, IN FACT, IS THE ORIENTAL MAGIC CAPITAL IN THE FUTURE, SHANGHAI, BUT IN FACT, IN THIS YEAR, MAYBE SHANGHAI IS NOT AS PROSPEROUS AS IN THE FUTURE, BUT IT IS ALREADY ONE OF THE BEST AREAS IN THE MANCHU DYNASTY, AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMMERCE, INDUSTRY, AND ALL ASPECTS IS STILL VERY GOOD.

Why did Yang Guangren choose to fight this place?

This choice is really strange, because this place is obviously not easy to fight, prosperous, then naturally there will be more power to protect, but Yang Guangren's choice of this place is really deliberate.

First of all, it is in the political sense!

You must know that when the Taiping army fought this place before, it was a feather return. IT CAN EVEN BE SAID THAT THE FAILURE TO TAKE THIS LARGE SHANGHAI AREA WAS THE TURNING POINT OF THE TAIPING REBELLION, AND FROM HERE ON, THE TAIPING HEAVENLY KINGDOM WAS MILITARILY DEFEATED.

The reason is also very simple, that is, the European and American powers intervened, but there is an important political symbolism in this!

WE ARE NOW FIGHTING BACK, IF WE CAN TAKE THE SHANGHAI AREA IN A WAR, HOW MUCH MORALE WILL BE RAISED?

Secondly, that is, Yang Guangren is also clearly seeing it now, you can't jump over the level of foreigners!

Yes, if you want to do something on the territory of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the foreigner will definitely interfere with you, he has no reason, and now, there is a new thing here in SHANGHAI, the concession!

The matter of the concession was really a concession at the beginning, but what happened later is interesting.

The so-called concession is actually similar to renting a house, not to mention anything else, the agreement signed by the Manchu government with those foreign devils is actually a rental agreement, which is not much different, but when something happens in the concession, it is like someone killing someone and stealing something in the concession.

THE PEOPLE OF THE QING DYNASTY HAVE SHOT THE FOREIGNERS, SO WHAT SHOULD THE OFFICIALS OF THE SONG JIANG GOVERNMENT DO?

"We don't care, we don't care......" This is the reaction of the Manchu officials, so what effect did this reaction become?

Okay, the criminal case in the French Concession, we French can take care of it, and this thing will be our French in the future!

Yes, sovereignty is lost in this way, just because the Manchu officials don't care, then this right is equivalent to being ceded to foreigners, it's that simple.

In fact, the governing power in the concession itself is all Manchu, but those officials, even the Aixin Jueluo family above, they are troublesome, they don't care, so you don't care, then the other people will take care of it, and there will be nothing for you to do in the future, and the Aixin Jueluo family will also turn a blind eye.

Step by step, sovereignty is lost, step by step people's rights are getting bigger and bigger, and the wonders of the Manchu Qing are here.

Therefore, Yang Guangren knows very well that he has to deal with foreign devils, no problem!

And the third reason is that Yang Guangren had talked a lot about fighting with Li Mengyang before.

DOES THIS HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE ATTACK ON SONG JIANG PROVINCE?

It really has a lot to do with it, because that's what Li Mengyang's war theory told Yang Guangren!

What kind of battle has Li Mengyang fought since the day he started the army?

Economic battle!

When San Juan Hill was in the mountains, it was a silver mine, and Li Mengyang didn't even ask for silver, but for dead horse meat.

Las Vegas sneak attack, in fact, that place was the richest place at the time, and there was a lot of money in it.

The New York Revolution, what is New York? How many rich people's homes did he Li Mengyang copy?

Against California, it was a choke war, one lock locked Panama, and the other locked the old Spanish trail!

This was also the case with the subsequent wars, and Mexico didn't want to build that silver mine when it was time?

Almost every time, it's all about the economy, which may seem like a coincidence, but it's actually ......

War is an extension of politics, and what is politics?

The economic base determines the superstructure!

At the end of the day, it's not for that that people...... Li Mengyang remembers that the star master said so.

It's all the same, ancient and modern Chinese and foreign wars are like this, so now directly attack the SHANGHAI area, which is currently the best place for the Manchu Qing economy, and after laying here, down the Yangtze River, all along the way, are all good places.

In addition, going down the Yangtze River is equivalent to cutting the Manchu Qing into two sections with one sword!

It can be said that the whole strategic plan, that was very perfect, without any problems, but nevertheless!

THE CURRENT BATTLEFIELD SITUATION IN SONGJIANG MANSION SEEMS TO BE NOT GOOD ON YANG GUANGREN'S SIDE...... (To be continued......)
