Chapter 180: The Black Hand

"Mr. Bonifa Xiu, what the Filipino people need most at present is not a weapon, but a thought, and the mind is the greatest weapon, if it is not for Mr. Rizal to bring you the idea of freedom, I am afraid you are still in a state of ignorance, but his mind is not suitable for the Philippines, the enemy you need to face is not a monarch of your own nation, but a foreign colonizer, they will use the most brutal means to slaughter anyone who dares to resist them, I believe you should be very clear about this." Just when Guangxu was anxious about Cixi's death, Yang Wang Ye was talking to Bonifaxiu, the leader of the Philippine resistance, on his yacht.

This person was arranged by him to connect Ye Anping with his own business relationship in Manila, and he is currently looking for Bonifaxiu everywhere to help prepare for the uprising, knowing that this Taiwanese businessman actually knew Yang Wangye, who had recently made waves in the East, he immediately couldn't wait to ask him to help introduce him, and Ye Anping, who had a special purpose, naturally pushed him to Fuzhou with his own merchant ship.

Originally, I was worried that such a big man would disdain to see a nobody from a foreign country, but I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the respected King Zhennan not only received him, but even showed great enthusiasm for the courage of the Filipino people to resist tyranny.

"Lord, you are so right, Rizal is my mentor and my guide, but his heart is too merciful, the Spaniards are our enemies, they slaughtered countless of our compatriots, to deal with these evil colonists, we must use war, only a bloody war can save my motherland." Bonifaxiu said excitedly.

In fact, he had just returned from the exile in Rizal, and the Chinese spiritual leader of the Philippine independence movement did not support him and the Katipunan he led to launch an uprising, and even used it as a prevarication without weapons. Can't you fight without guns? Of course, it would be great if you could get enough guns.

"Yes, but have you thought about it, are the Filipinos aware of this? Those of you who have read books naturally understand, but do those ordinary farmers understand? Also, have you thought about what kind of country you want to build? Even if you drive away the Spaniards. So can you guarantee that the Filipino people will be fed, clothed, and happy?

As far as I know, you come from a poor background, so do you think the main culprits of the hunger and cold of the Filipino people are only those colonizers? I'm afraid that the landlords and wealthy merchants will have to bear at least half of the responsibility, right? How many Spaniards are there in total, and without these people fighting for the tiger, would you lower class people be so poor? There are two mountains above you, one for the colonizers and the other for the landlords, and you have to struggle in poverty just as you overthrow one. Yang Feng sued him sinisterly.

Bonifaxiu immediately showed a contemplative expression, since the death of both parents. At that time, he not only had to face the expropriation and tyranny of the Spanish colonists, but also the cruel oppression of the rich.

"There are a few books here, don't rush back yet, read them well. From this you will find the real way to save your people, do you know Spanish or English? Yang Feng stood up and asked as he walked to the bookshelf where he had installed the façade.

"Spanish." Bonifaxiu hurriedly stood up and said humbly.

Yang Feng nodded, then took him a large number of Ma Dabeard's works in Spanish, thought about it and found Nechayev's great works. Then he walked back with a stack of revolutionary Bibles and handed it to Bonifaxiu, who quickly took it with both hands.

"Some of them are in English, and I will arrange for someone to translate them for you, and you will understand where the truth in this world lies in a few more reads." Yang Wang Ye finished speaking seriously. Send the grateful Bonifa Xiu to the hotel to study.

"Lord Wang, why do you care about these monkeys, these monkeys don't have any good things. They are ungrateful mongrels, and I think they are best suited to be ruled as slaves by foreigners. Ye Anping asked puzzled.

"Because I want us to become that foreigner, but they are too populous, so it is not convenient for us to rule, so I think it would be better to let the Spaniards kill more, for example, three or five million, but if they don't resist, how can the Spaniards kill them?" Yang Feng said with a smile.

Ye Anping shuddered, he found that his prince was too insidious, but when he thought of the scene of the Filipinos bleeding rivers, he couldn't help but yearn for it very much.

Then why do you sow discord between them and the rich? Many of the rich people in the Philippines are overseas Chinese. He then asked.

"That's right, it's because there are the most overseas Chinese in the rich Philippines, so I have to do this, otherwise how can we have a reason to beat them?" Yang Feng said.

Bonifa Show is just a pawn of him, just when he met Bonifa Show, Li Hongzhang of Guangzhou was also receiving his guests, entrusted by Aguinaldo to contact Liu Hengzhen who bought weapons, and it was not only Bonifa Show who was worried about the uprising, because of the support of overseas Chinese capital, Aguinaldo raised a large amount of money, and it happened that Li Hongzhang had already been in contact with them before this, so he naturally came to this old guy to buy weapons.

With the technical support of Yang Feng, the Guangzhou Machinery Bureau has also begun to imitate a large number of Bofors rifles, in fact, Liu Hengzhen first looked for the Taiwan Arsenal, but because Yang Da Boss had an explanation, this business was given to Li Hongzhang, of course, with Guangzhou's production capacity is definitely not enough, Aquinas placed an order for 100,000 rifles at a time, and there are also 50 75 guns and 150 mortars, which Guangzhou cannot produce for the time being, so it can only be purchased from Zhang Zhidong and Liu Kunyi. So these three old guys are equally enthusiastic about supporting the just cause of the Filipino people.

Of course, Yang Wangye also wants to provide support to the Spaniards, he is ready to provide poison gas bombs to the Spaniards after the Philippine people hold an uprising.

This year, Bofors' gas bombs can be said to be in short supply, almost all European countries have purchased, including the sale of production licenses, this alone is almost enough for the military expenses of the battle of Beijing, and the Italians have begun to ravage the Ethiopians with gas bombs. Originally, Yang Feng was worried that this thing would have a certain impact on his reputation, but he found that he overestimated the bottom line of Europeans in this era, no one criticized the cruelty of poison gas bombs, in their opinion, it was the most appropriate to use this thing to slaughter those infidels, to make them disgusted by this, I am afraid that after tasting it themselves, Yang Feng would not have any psychological burden.

Just when the leader of the Philippine independence movement plunged headlong into the arms of Ma's beard and sucked the milk of the revolution with hunger, Yang Wangye announced a news that shocked the whole country, he announced that the three provinces of Fujian, Zhejiang and Taiwan would permanently abolish the land tax, and that all types of taxes would not be allowed to be increased in any form in the future, and at the same time set up a special committee to conduct a special inspection of the tax situation in each province, and any tax not prescribed by law, no matter what the name, would be abolished. This order reached the three provinces, and the people could be said to be grateful.

This is a good deed that even the ancient legendary saint has not done, the Tian Fu who has been handed over for thousands of years ended here in the king of Zhennan, for a time in the eyes of the people of the three provinces, the figure of this prince is extremely brilliant, as for them to enjoy this treatment, it is entirely because the king of Zhennan robbed too much outside, no one will mind this, what happened to people going out to rob? As long as he robs others to give flowers to his own people, rather than robbing his own people to give flowers to others, then he is a saint.

In addition, he also announced that he would build roads on a large scale, especially in mountainous Fujian, to build roads that can pass cars to every county town, and then build transportation companies on these roads to pass buses and trucks, as for the investment in this do not need to be considered, Yang Wangye this time in Beijing alone in silver and gold jewelry more than 50 million taels, deducting military expenses and rewards for soldiers, there are still more than 30 million left, not to mention the extortion from Japan and the increasing industrial and commercial taxes, and the construction of roads still uses a few dollars, Even the profits of the Yang consortium abroad did not need to be used, not only to build roads, but also to build the railway from Hangzhou to Shanghai.

Yang Feng decided to add two more divisions to form a scale of three garrison divisions and three mobile combat divisions, so that more than two divisions could be drawn out to rob in the future, and there was no need to worry about being taken to the old nest or something.

In fact, at this time, in these two shipyards, the construction of high-speed destroyers has begun, after a large number of new equipment and foreign employees joined, the manufacturing level of the Mawei shipyard has been greatly improved, there is no problem in building such small warships, and after the completion of these four armored cruisers, they will immediately start to build his diesel version of the battleship, so that those foreigners can make great progress on this road, and after 1900, they will immediately switch to super warships using steam turbines, and at the same time begin to develop aircraft and aircraft carriers, so that it will be enough to crush the world.
