"Lord Zhongtang, I am a businessman, so it is extremely important to regard my own interests, my things are mine, no one can move if they want to, the emperor can't do it, the queen mother can't do it, whoever dares to reach out will knock his claws!" Yang Feng said with a cruel smile.

Li Hongzhang was speechless for a while, what are your things, Fujian and Zhejiang are obviously given to you by you by others, but this year's strength speaks, since he has a big fist, he naturally says what is it.

"Lord Zhongtang, let's not discuss this kind of boring topic, we have a deep relationship, and the previous cooperation was also very pleasant, so are you interested in continuing to cooperate? You know very well how I make money, and follow me to ensure that your money is rolling. Yang Feng said.

"Go on." Li Hongzhang said that of course he came here not only to appreciate the demise of his old opponent, the Songdao was already counted as his Guangdong sailor, and there was an opportunity to look for this feeling in the future, and he came to ask Yang Feng to help him with foreign affairs.

Although he got rid of the circle of right and wrong of Zhili, but his achievements in foreign affairs there were also handed over to the imperial court, of course, those cannot be said to be his, after all, they are all governmental, and now they are coming to Guangzhou to start anew, but it is not possible to do without help.

"We don't need to talk about domestic things, my newly opened People's Bank of China does not prohibit you businessmen from Guangxi and Guangxi to go to take loans, and the treatment you enjoy is no different from that of Fujian and Zhejiang, including yourself and your brothers, if you want to invest in a project, you can also go there for technical consultation, of course, the consulting fee still has to pay, in short, you want to develop the industry I raise my hands in favor, but this kind of business is slow to make money, I am talking about those who come with money quickly." Yang Feng said, as for what comes quickly, it is naturally needless to say, look at Japan in less than two years, you can know the way.

"Is there any such good business now?" Li Hongzhang said suspiciously, he naturally understood what Yang Feng's business was, but looking around, he really didn't find any fat sheep like Japan to slaughter.

Yang Feng smiled and pointed south.

To the south. It's Liangguang, and from Liangguang to the south is the sea, and on that side of the sea...

"Luzon?" Li Hongzhang said uncertainly.

Yang Feng nodded.

"But that's Spanish territory, how do we do it? Although Spain is no longer good at this time, if we go to grab the territory of the whites, I am afraid that it will cause the dissatisfaction of the great powers. Li Hongzhang hesitated and said, his mind is very clear, this kind of thing is now the patent of white people, it is easy to say how they fight each other, but if the Chinese also want to join the banquet. I'm afraid I won't get an invitation, and I'm afraid I'll be unanimously excluded if I don't get it.

"It's not okay with white people." Yang Feng said with a smile.

"With whom?" Li Hongzhang said suspiciously: It is indeed a good way to apply the Japanese model.

"No matter who it is, there will always be people who can't help but make a move on this piece of fat, whether it's an American or a German, we don't need to worry about this problem, but first we have to help them mess up this place first, and only if they mess up it themselves first, we can have an excuse to do it.

For example, the local monkeys were encouraged to rebel against the Spaniards. Give them some weapons or something, and when the whole Philippines is lit up, we will supply the Spaniards with better weapons and encourage them to punish the monkeys. At that time, they will definitely use cruel means to deal with the monkeys, which will definitely hurt our overseas Chinese, and then we can unite with countries with ambitions against the Philippines to find an excuse to do it.

As for the result, it is nothing more than everyone to divide up the Philippines together, and you don't have to worry about this. I'm the best at playing with this stuff, all you need is to go back and train the army, and you need to help me contact their righteous soldiers. There should be a lot of people doing business there in Guangdong, right?" Yang Feng said.

"There are more in Fujian, where more than eighty percent of overseas Chinese are Fujianese, and it is estimated that there are at least 50,000 or 60,000." Li Hongzhang said with a smile, to be honest, if it is really like what Yang Feng said, pull a great power to take the lead, and then China will follow to take advantage of it, and it is really okay to attack the Philippines, the Spaniards have already been yellow yesterday, and their few warships in Manila are now almost destroyed by the Guangdong Navy Division itself, and the only thing to worry about is their own main fleet, but with Yang Feng and any other great power to join, it can be destroyed.

"That's better, we can start together, but in this case, your fleet will need to be transformed, their speed is too slow, so let's start with the Matsushima, the strength of this ship should be said to be okay, but the armor is thin and the speed is a little slower, how about I change the power system for you, and then add some armor." Yang Feng said, he suddenly thought that it would be good to take Songdao to do a test, and replace the two large horizontal steam engines with four steam turbines produced by Yang's Power System Company, the total power can reach 8,000 horsepower, and it should be easy to estimate the speed of more than 18 knots, if its modification is successful, then the other four capital ships in Li Hongzhang's hands can also be replaced with steam turbines, and even the two in Liu Kun's hands can also be modified, and it is best to pull him together for the next robbery.

Now this impulse steam turbine has been very popular in the merchant ship, after all, with more and more countries to build diesel warships and the vigorous development of the automobile industry, the price of oil is rising, the pursuit of profit of the merchant ship will certainly not like the diesel engine, although its advantages are also obvious, but coal is cheaper and easier to refuel.

"Okay, whatever you want!" Of course, Li Hongzhang doesn't have much opinion on this.

Let Li Hongzhang be sent by special car to visit the new projects he has done in Fuzhou, and then Yang Feng will sit there and think about who to lure to attack the Philippines? It's better to be Germans, the United States is a country that needs to be contained, and it must not be allowed to develop smoothly, the geographical advantage without the enemy is too terrifying, but Germany doesn't need to care, no matter how they develop, they don't need China to have a headache, they have too many enemies, and the war of Japan has made William taste enough sweetness, and he is also very eager to expand his territory again.

But this matter can't be too urgent, at least after they finish the construction of the base in Kagoshima, now the German army has not completely wiped out the Japanese resistance, of course, it won't take long, poison gas bombs are a big killing weapon, the German army led by Moltke Jr. has created countless horrific tragedies in various parts of southern Kyushu, because the Japanese resistance always likes to hide in the area controlled by the British army, so the Germans are now preparing to build the Japanese version of the Berlin Wall.

He was there full of conspiracies and studying how to harm the Spaniards, when suddenly the guards outside came in to report that a man named Sun Wen had come to see him with a letter of recommendation from Ye Anping.

As soon as he heard this name, Governor Yang was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that Brother Pao had made the Guangzhou Uprising that had not happened until now, of course, I am afraid it could not happen, Li Hongzhang took two divisions of the new army to Guangdong, and then Ye Zhichao led a division to sit in the city of Guangzhou, with these elites killed on the Korean battlefield, who dares to make any uprising is not much different from suicide.

To see or not to see? Brother Pao's goal here must be to persuade himself to make some revolution and overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty and establish a republic, thinking that his reputation as Dong Zhuo in the world has attracted him, and what he is doing now is no different from these, but Yang Feng is not interested in him, it has nothing to do with this person's reputation or anything, but he doesn't need such a person at all!

"Go, tell him that Master Ben is not free, take another fifty taels of silver, and let him go back and forth!" This goods waved his hand and said, he is a dignified governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, how can he be seen by any cat or dog, for the sake of Ye Zi's father, he will give some Cheng Yi, which is also completely in line with the disparity between the identities of the two sides, in fact, at this time, the local officials are all sent to those who come to fight the autumn wind.

Poor Brother Pao, who was standing at the gangway and waiting, was dumbfounded after getting the news, but then his face couldn't help showing a trace of anger, thinking that he was a pillar of the country who had learned from the past and the present, and was wise enough to come to the door to see, and no one could greet him backwards and then treat him as a guest, and from then on he was regarded as the mastermind and planned the world, but he was actually like a person who asked for food, and sent himself away like this, which is simply a great shame.

He looked at the ingot of silver in his hand, and had the intention to smash it directly on the ship that made him dazzled, and then said with great pride: "Who scarces your stinky money!"

But after some hesitation, he finally didn't give up, after all, he is not rich now, and now it is not that there are so many international friends to help him in the future, fifty taels is enough to last for a long time, and after the end, he decided to wait for the day when he became famous and laughed proudly, the fifty taels of gold smashed on Yang Feng's head with his own hands, so that he knew what it means to look down on people.

"These decadent reactionary bureaucrats are not worth relying on, whether it is Yang Feng or Li Hongzhang, they are all raccoon dogs, jealous and jealous villains, greedy and brutal executioners, and one day you will be washed into the garbage heap of history by the tide of revolution!" Brother Pao couldn't help but let out a sad and angry roar in his heart, and even the black ship in front of him seemed to exude a rotten stench.

Standing at the window looking at his back as he departed in the autumn breeze, Governor Yang waved his hand to a secretary and said, "Inform all the branches of the consortium in various countries, keep an eye on this man, whatever he wants to do, and don't give him any chance of success." ”

"Why don't you get rid of it directly?" The secretary asked, puzzled.

"Simple, because I want to have some fun with myself." Yang Feng shrugged and said. (To be continued......)
