Chapter 373: Special Envoy
After looking at the British navy, Yang Meng also held back a wave of anger in his heart, but this anger can only be held back now, this is just an Asian fleet, if all the British warships are opened, I am afraid that the number will be much larger.
If you want to defeat this powerful navy, you can only rely on ironclad ships, and develop the same sail warships, even if the number exceeds the English navy, the balance of victory is still on the English side, and the gap between hundreds of years of naval combat experience cannot be made up by quantity.
The combination of ironclad ships and breech guns is the real ship's strong guns, and this sail battleship has a fatal flaw, an all-wood structure or a half-wood and half-iron structure, as long as it is white. Phosphorus bombs have become, no matter how big the sail battleship is, it can only be a candle head floating on the sea!
"Taichen, after you go back, continue to put pressure on the shipyard, don't you have drawings for the three English giant ships? All three ships were renovated, with the masts and sails on board.
Let the Guangzhou Iron Works Artillery Casting Bureau speed up the action, before the three battleships are transformed, they must create suitable breech guns, and don't block all the guns on the original battleships, with a batch of smaller breech guns!
Ordered Tan Yubin and Li Mingfu of the Ship Master School to change the rules of the Ship Master School, and the students of the School, in addition to studying in Guangzhou, go to sea once every six months to participate in the plundering at sea, and time is running out!
Ge Shiyang of Xishan was strictly ordered to take out the white within three months. Phosphorus bomb, expanding Yunnan white. The scale of the phosphorus plant! β
Yingli gave Yang Meng a lot of pressure, and he would not carry this pressure alone, Yang Fuliang, who cut off his ears, was the first. The one who bears the pressure. Shipyard and shipyard school in Guangzhou. Including the Xishan Academy in Yunnan, they all share the pressure of Yang Meng, and the pressure on Yang Meng's shoulders is great, and the pressure transmitted to them is even greater.
came up with a countermeasure, Yang Meng was silent, and slapped himself, but he didn't leave any room at all, and his whole head hurt with one mouth. The more he talked, the more Yang Meng could feel Yingli's humiliation of him.
People who mix the world, what they care about most is face, this time Yang Meng's face, made a sampan on the sea, and was patted dizzy, this tone wants to come out, time is also a big problem, as short as five or seven years, as long as ten or twenty years. Thinking of this long time, Yang Meng only had a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.
The merchant ship arrived on the outlying island. Yang Meng didn't stay, he got on the ship and left, and now seeing the vast sea, Yang Meng only had anger and resentment in his heart!
It was another bumpy night, and in the early morning, Yang Meng's steamer arrived at the mouth of the Pearl River, and Ding Taichen brought a piece of news that was neither good nor bad, and the French sent an envoy.
"Son of a bitch! Taking advantage of the fire to rob him, seeing that Ying Li didn't mean to do anything, this bastard leaked his head out, what did he do earlier? Is Lao Tzu soft tofu? β
Some slurred scolded a few words, the French are also chicken thieves, seeing that they have no intention of going to war with England, they will sell it to the door, in the name of mediation, take a big advantage, and think beautifully!
"Third master, you have bruises on your face, since the French have bad intentions, then let's stretch it?"
Now Yang Meng is like a little pig's head, with more than a dozen bruises on both cheeks, and it's easy to say that he can't speak clearly, and he goes out with a little pig's head, which is a shame!
"I can't help it! The French are in a state of uncertainty, and now we must give them a big bait, otherwise these bastards will partner with the British devils, and the wound on this face can be used to make some articles, see! See you now! β
The French came out, this is a good thing for Yang Meng, as long as the conditions are not particularly harsh, Yang Meng intends to agree to them, but he has to find it back in the future.
The wounds on his face did not escape Yang Meng's calculations, and these big slaps were just right in time, just so that the French could see their determination.
"The Third Master ......"
"Don't say it, it's nothing more than losing some face, let's make up for it slowly in the future!"
waved his hand to stop Ding Taichen, the French envoy must be seen, this determines the situation on the Southeast Peninsula, with the participation of the French, presumably the British devil will not be able to hold his breath, as long as he does it in the Southeast Peninsula, then his opportunity will come, and the French will cooperate with the French, no matter how much the price will be paid.
France's envoy was contacted by Renres, and it was still the same warship, but this time Yang Meng was much more embarrassed.
"General Yang, you are ...... wounded"
Seeing Yang Meng's little pig's head, Ren Lei almost didn't laugh, but as soon as the corners of his mouth were curled, he met Yang Mengsen's cold gaze, remembering the translator who was killed by Yang Meng when they first met, Ren Lei decisively pinched himself and pinched his smile back.
"I went to see the English Navy yesterday, and the lineup is strong! English blocked the door and slapped his face, then Lao Tzu slapped his face!
Renres, how many bruises do you count on Lao Tzu's face? β
Renlei is a villain, and it is necessary for him to see his character of retribution, otherwise it will be difficult to protect this villain in the future and not stumble on himself.
"Twenty-three!"
Ren Lei counted carefully, and there were more than a dozen bruises on one side of his face, adding up to twenty-three bruises, this General Yang was very ruthless to himself!
"Oh...... Twenty-three, Taichen wrote down this number, informed the Blue Flag Army in southern Xinjiang, and began to hunt and kill the English from today, regardless of men, women, and children, all count!
One scar for 1,000 people, 23 scars, 23,000 people, finish this before the end of this year, build a head monument for Lao Tzu in southern Xinjiang, can't finish it, let them wipe their necks! β
There are no old, weak, women and children in Yang Meng's eyes, the people of the enemy country are enemies, and they can be killed! The bruises on the face and the anger in the heart need to be vented, and killing people is undoubtedly the best way.
"Third master, is this a military order?"
"Hmmm! The military order, tell them that before the end of the year, there are not enough kills, the Blue Flag Army only has 10,000 heads, and the rest of the number, I will make up from their family! β
His own words are military orders, and they must be implemented whether they are right or wrong, and this time they will put England on the opposite side of themselves.
The Chinese that Grace could understand, and the meaning of what Yang Meng meant, was the same as when Milican hunted the Indians. Looking at General Yang with a bruised face. There were only two words in Renres's heart. Devil!
In addition to Ren Lei, there were several foreign devils on the deck, and one of them may have understood what Yang Meng meant, and after his face changed a few times, there was no expression on his face.
"Where's the envoy of France? Let's get down to business! β
Although pain can make people concentrate, the pain in the cheeks is different, and the pain in the face hurts and the head hurts. After this day and night, the pain has not been alleviated at all, and Yang Meng has no thoughts of greeting now.
He followed Renlei into the cabin, the small cabin was much more gorgeous than the last time, the sofa and the negotiation table were ready, and the walls were also hung with thick cashmere.
Opposite the negotiation table more than three meters long, sat a foreign devil with big sideburns, who was only thirty or forty years old, and his eyes were quite bright. The skeleton of the upper body is not small, and the body shape is more than 1.8 meters.
"Hello! Friends of France. I'm Yang Meng of Yunnan! β
hugged his fists to say hello and reported to his home, facing this French envoy, Yang Meng also lowered his posture.
"Hello! Friend of the East, I am AndrΓ© of France! β
Andre, who was still sitting upright just now, got up and bowed slightly with one hand on his chest, which was considered a salute.
After going their own way, Yang Meng also saw Andre's high attitude.
The foreign devil who had just changed his face on the deck walked up to Andre and whispered a few words, Andrei's face immediately changed, and he spoke in a fairly smooth eagle language, and he opened his mouth directly.
"What do I call you, General Yang? Or Lord Yang? β
"General Yang! After all, the cooperation between us is very likely to be on the battlefield! β
Andre said it bluntly, Yang Meng did not hesitate, and talked about cooperation very directly.
"Cooperation? I'm afraid we don't have this foundation yet, we don't kill the old, weak, women and children! I don't like your means of revenge! β
With an arrogant attitude, this Andre really regarded himself as a character, and he spoke with a tone of rebuke.
"Old and weak women and children? I don't think much of it, the old man among the enemies is the former enemy; The child of the enemy is the enemy of the future; And the enemy's woman is the tool that makes the enemy; In my opinion, there is no difference between the old and the weak, women and children, they are all enemies, and the enemy dies best! β
Andrei's few words changed Yang Meng's attitude, and after these words came out, Yang Meng, whose face was full of bruises, also became extremely hideous.
"I have nothing to say about killing the enemy on the battlefield, but slaughtering the old, weak, women and children, we have no basis for cooperation!"
Even though Yang Meng's face was hideous, Andre did not give up his persistence and slaughtered the old and weak women and children, which in Andre's eyes was an unforgivable sin.
"Killing enemies on the battlefield? That's okay, as long as you create an opportunity for me to slaughter 23,000 native English soldiers, I can change my military orders, otherwise my military orders will still be enforced!
There is another sentence, the cooperation between us is not something you can decide, this needs to be determined by the situation in France, and the situation in the southeast peninsula, you are just a mouthpiece for your France, based on personal preferences to decide whether to cooperate or not, I believe that soon another envoy will sit in front of me! β
It seems that his previous politeness was wrong, since this Andre is not respectful, Yang Meng has no need to be polite.
"Slaughter English soldiers? Do you have the strength? How many soldiers do you have? As far as I know, in the Southeast Peninsula, you only have 10,000 soldiers who have not experienced much actual combat, right? β
Yang Meng was tough, and Andre's attitude was the same, pointing out the number of Yang Meng's soldiers, which was also a reminder to him that France had a lot of information about Yunnan.
"Huh...... Taichen, you tell Mr. Andre how many people there are in Yunnan, how many strong men there are, and how many ordnance we have stored in our transactions in the past few years. β
The cooperation with France is only temporary, and Yang Meng does not mind, and reports his family background, after all, this is also one of the foundations of cooperation.
"Yunnan has a population of about 6 million, of which about 23.4 million men between the ages of 15 and 60, and the rest are children and women.
In the past few days, through the East India Company, we have imported more than 200,000 standard brown shell silk smoothbores. Guns, through merchants from various countries, more than 300,000 retired firearms from various countries have been imported, and the number of artillery pieces is nearly 10,000! β
The population of Yunnan can only be reported as an approximate number, and it is difficult to figure out how many people there are, and as for the number of firearms, it can only show Yunyan's strong ability to absorb gold.
Ding Taichen's words passed through the mouth of the translator, and when they reached Andre's ears, the face of the French envoy also changed slightly.
"Two million three hundred and forty thousand men, nearly two million have received military training, although they have not experienced actual combat, but relatively strong men, I can at least 500,000 people in Wuzhuang, this number of troops, should be enough to achieve my goal, right?
Although the strength I have in my hands may not be able to capture India, it is still enough to protect Yunnan, and if we work together, we will have a great certainty of directly attacking India.
But a war of this scale, I can't go on for a long time, three months is the limit of my logistics, Mr. Andrey, do we have a basis for cooperation now? β
What is negotiation? It's just a matter of reasoning on the facts, Yang Meng put out these things, Andrei believed half of them, half of them to what extent, more than 200,000 troops, which is not much different from the estimation of the Meisai River Valley, Andrei basically figured out the foundation of this General Yang.
"There it is! Then let's abandon our respective insistences and talk about cooperation first! (To be continued......)
