Chapter 331: Scientific Expedition (Part II)

What do the scratches on the map represent? This can only mean that someone has deduced the path to enter their lair, which has nothing to do with Yunyan, and Yang Meng will not believe it if he kills him.

Due to the inaccuracy of the map, there is only a rough location, Yang Meng can not restore the route they deduced before, this is not too important, as long as they know their purpose, from Myanmar to Yunnan, the best way to Lu is Mengla and Tengyue, other places, let them go, and they may not be able to touch it.

After Kachin, Qiao Gunai guarded, Tengyue Town, the green battalion soldiers of a town, plus the strength of Yangjia Wuzhuang, there is still no big problem in defending the land, and the newly built Blue Flag Army is blocking the passage of Mengla outside, this loophole is also blocked, and what to do now is to try the combat strength of the British army.

Just as he was about to get up, those disappeared pencil traces aroused Yang Meng's interest again, and after looking on the table for a long time, he finally found what he wanted.

'Huh...... With this thing, this trip to southern Xinjiang is enough! ’

The thing in Yang Meng's hand is nothing else, it is a piece of eraser, this thing, whether it is shoemaking or shipbuilding, is used, seeing this thing, Yang Meng's eyes also lit up, this is also something he ignored, the Golden Triangle back then, there were also many rubber forests nearby.

Although natural rubber cannot be used for tires, it can solve a big problem by making soles alone.

Moreover, this thing can be planted in Yunnan and Guangdong, and Southeast Asia is a fertile soil for planting rubber, and this piece of rubber should be regarded as the redemption of these three hundred and ninety-four people!

After finding the eraser, Yang Meng also regarded this main account as a treasure trove, and turned over everything. Instruments for surveying and mapping. Books on all kinds of cartography. To say that they are a scientific expedition is quite appropriate.

And Yang Meng's biggest gain is a leather book "On War", oral language is Yang Meng's strength, but reading and writing can't be, roughly flipped, Yang Meng knows that this is a war book published in the last ten years, and there are many things in it. It's all usable.

Although I can't understand most of the things, the title of "On War" is enough, and I don't know if the Minghu Academy has translated this book?

After the treasure hunt that ended in a hurry, Yang Meng began to check his prisoners of war, three hundred and ninety-four people, one of them counted as one, all lying on the ground and walking around the group of prisoners. Yang Meng found the problem again.

The gang had definitely come on a quick march, and many of them had wounds on their feet. Because it is medicine that was given at the time of waking up early. Most of the people's feet are empty, stationed for more than a month, and the injuries on their feet have not healed, which is another big trouble for Yang Meng.

"Yangba, take off all those people's shoes for Lao Tzu."

Sure enough, the people wearing shoes should be soldiers on duty, more than eighty people have wounds on their feet, and some soldiers' wounds have festered, which is definitely not a good thing for Yang Meng!

Discipline is definitely the most powerful weapon, these wounds under the feet of the British army were definitely left during the rapid march a month ago, and they are still not good, just because they wear boots every day, which makes the wounds difficult to heal, and most of the wounds on the feet are not festering, which can only show that their unexpected measures are good.

There are injuries on their feet, and they are still wearing boots, this is the embodiment of discipline, such wounds, as long as they don't wear boots for three or five days, they will heal, and most of the people in this camp have injuries on their feet, which means that their vigilance has not relaxed for a moment, and when they meet the enemy's elite soldiers, how can it be considered a good thing for Yang Meng?

After circling around the prisoners of war a few times, lingering for a while between killing and not killing, Yang Meng finally decided to let them go. Hundreds of people, whether to kill or not has nothing to do with the overall situation.

Killed, can only let the British government find an excuse to send troops on a large scale, with India as a base, England's war potential in Southeast Asia is still very great, and a hasty start of a big war is not conducive to Yang Meng's plan; If you don't kill it, if the United States and Cyprus start a war outside the country, even if the British army forcibly enters the territory of Yunnan, then you will stand on the moral high ground, and even if you make some excessive moves to defend your home and country, it is also an excellent excuse.

"Alas...... Scientific Expedition! ”

There is no need to ask, but this British scientific expedition must have done enough foreplay before coming here, and once they attacked, the initiator of the war would become the Qing court, and the position of justice and evil would have to be changed.

Among the prisoners of war, after a few turns, Yang Meng really found an acquaintance, an English missionary who was expelled by himself, it seems that the thief of this goods is not dead!

"Yo...... Isn't this an old acquaintance? How? I didn't eat enough of the human meat pot last time, did I want to come here to fight the autumn breeze again this time?

Let's talk about it! How many people do you want to eat this time? There are 393 people in the back, eat carefully, enough for you to eat for three or five years! ”

Yunyan, it is definitely Yunyan, it seems that the initiator of this dispute is still Yunyan! Look at the dress of this missionary, he is definitely a valued figure, he changed out of his robe and put on a suit, this one really has some meaning of changing shotguns!

"Lord Yang, we belong to a scientific expedition, and you must not endanger our safety."

As soon as he saw the main lord Yang Meng, the repatriated missionary, his face immediately turned blue, how did this demon come.

"A scientific expedition? Let's investigate the formula of cloud smoke? Since it's a scientific expedition, let's talk about it, shall we?

Yang Ba, untie this calf, and let him point out a few more heads and faces, and let's talk about how to do this deal! ”

The arranger found a few makeshift stools, arranged them in a circle in the camp, and Yang Meng sat on them.

"You are the lord of Yunnan?"

An English man in his forties and fifties, after wiping the dirt on his body, walked up to Yang Meng and asked righteously.

"Yes and no! Have a seat! ”

There are a lot of Chinese people in this team, and it seems that this British ambition is not small!

The five Englishmen, including the missionary, sat in a circle under Yang Meng's command, and without waiting for these expressions of dissatisfaction, Yang Meng opened his mouth first to ask questions.

"Do you all know this thing? I would like to ask where this thing came from? ”

Raising the eraser in his hand, Yang Meng shook it in front of these people. Only with the production center of this. Yang Meng was able to let them go.

"America! It's made from the sap of the clover tree! ”

For that missionary, Yang Meng was synonymous with demons. As soon as Yang Meng's question came out, he answered it as soon as possible.

"Shut up! Don't forget our purpose! ”

As soon as the missionary spoke, he was reprimanded by the person who had just questioned Yang Meng, and it seemed that this forty or fifty-year-old was the supreme leader of this so-called expedition.

"It's you, this bullshit preacher, who should shut up, how did you leave Yunnan, he didn't tell you, did he?

Then I'll explain it to you.

This servant of God. In order to survive, eating a lamb grazed by God, the meat cut from the lamb alive, the meat slices are slowly fluttering in boiling water, and after changing color, it should be considered delicious.

As for the taste, God knows the word, and this servant of God also knows the word, didn't he tell you about the deliciousness, what it tastes like?

You lamb, though you are old. But the old sheep is better! The chewiness is bigger, and you can exercise your teeth! ”

In the language of the eagle, he stopped the words of the supreme officer. Yang Meng then turned into a demon, watching that person's face get worse and worse, Yang Meng knew that he understood his words.

"Demons! God will punish you! ”

Religion is a good thing, this person should be a school officer at least at least, and he can be regarded as a high-ranking officer, he also believes in God, it seems that his own teachings still need to be spread.

"Don't talk about this, pass on my words to these people here, don't touch Lao Tzu's moldy head, killing people is the easiest thing for Lao Tzu, one death is three hundred and ninety-four deaths, my question, you'd better answer honestly, otherwise ......"

Yang Meng's words, this one really understood, and after he made some explanations, the faces of the other three people became very ugly.

"Does this clover rubber have plantations in Southeast Asia?"

"Yes! But without a large number of ripening, it takes six to eight years for the tree to be cut off the glue! ”

"Hmmm! That's a good answer, what's your name? ”

Six to eight years, such a growth period is also a very distant time for Yang Meng, and he will be able to tap rubber immediately, which is what Yang Meng wants.

"You can call me Old Jack!"

"Jack? Very popular name! How many trees are there in plantations in Southeast Asia that can tap rubber? ”

There is no large number of mature, it seems that this old Jack is not a professional soldier, but an Asian expert, and his knowledge is extremely extensive.

"Tens of thousands!"

"Not bad! Then we have the conditions to continue talking, I can stop killing you, and tell me your purpose! ”

Tens of thousands of trees have been transplanted, how can you live thousands of trees, if there are thousands of trees, you can still make a living to make shoes, as for the rest, plant it slowly!

The purpose has been achieved, and the rest is the purpose of these people, although the main target Yang Meng is clear, but there are some things, it is best to listen to them say it in person.

"The purpose? We are just here for a scientific expedition to Kachin! By doing so, you are violating international practice! ”

Old Jack is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he wants to mix with some international conventions, how is this possible?

"International practice? European? American? Or Asian? How come I haven't heard of it?

Want Lao Tzu to abide by international conventions? Should this thing be signed and stamped by Lao Tzu? Without these, we don't recognize it here!

Remember, what is easy to make here is not good to make here in Lao Tzu! ”

The international practice of bullshit is to have the final say on his own territory, and he must follow the international practice, so that Yang Meng can formulate international practice and ensure that he is good in Yunnan.

"Lord Yang, let's negotiate, don't be so rude, okay?"

Looking at Old Jack, he is a gentleman, but what do these gentlemen do for a living? Compared to the ruffians and hooligans, these so-called gentlemen are enough to be their ancestors.

"Then let's talk about it, do you belong to the English government, or to the East India Company?"

"We are a non-governmental scientific organization!"

"You can't speak human language, do you? Since you are all here, there is no need for us to hide it, Lao Tzu is the manufacturer of cloud smoke, as for your purpose, I also know it, since you don't say it, let me say it.

From next month, whether it is the East India Company or other merchants in England, we will only accept cash for transactions in Guangzhou, and we will not want any goods from England!

If you want to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, it is not impossible, as long as such news comes back from Guangzhou, the price of cloud smoke will rise a hundred times!

Just wait for the government to fall! ”

Saying this, Yang Meng is also confident, the formula of Yunyan, they can't develop it now, the sales of Yunyan in Europe and the United States have made it a commodity similar to tea, addictive, and it has also made Yunyan an indispensable commodity.

Now that the English have touched the door, there are some things that don't need to be covered, and it's time for the big guys to show their hole cards.

It's not that there are no substitutes, but I'm afraid they can't think of it, even if they think of it, tobacco and cloud smoke are definitely two things that can't be put together, the taste of tobacco is not good, and for most people, it is not possible to replace cloud smoke with tobacco soil.

As long as there is Yunyan, presumably most people will still choose Yunyan, Yang Meng's words, not a threat, but his hole card, now England, has realized the importance of Yunyan, but the time is a little late, want to enter Yunnan by land, I am afraid that they can't afford to pay that price.
