Sent away the three of Mi Lijian, Yang Meng's back road is stable, settle Mi Lijian, the next is to block the West, find out batches of agents, let them have a certain right to speak in the countries of the great powers, and do these things are not entirely for the back road, there is also a very important one, that is, to cut off the foreign aid of the Qing Dynasty.

The Qing Dynasty is not an opponent, nor is it an enemy, as long as they hand over the Uh-Guozuo in their hands, everything is still negotiable, and the Eight-Nation Alliance, which made China sink, is the real enemy, and it is also a great enemy.

In the northwest, Yang Meng is now powerless to take care of it, and Millican's national policy and the situation over there also determine Millican's attitude, and for more than ten years, Millican still has no threat to the Qing Dynasty.

The great powers on the sea, mainly England and France, other countries, did not have the strength to start a war with the Qing Dynasty, and these two countries were eyeing the Qing Dynasty.

First unite France to cripple England, and then clean up the French, although this layout is good, but the Frenchmen have not reacted so far, and Yang Meng is not good at going on the pole to find people, once on the pole, it is easy to arouse the suspicion of the French, after all, no one is a fool.

Yang Meng's current chess move is also very dangerous, raising the price of Yunyan is just an illusion, once England and France reach a consensus on the issue of Yunyan, that is the real trouble.

The old enemy of England and Yang Meng of the Qing Dynasty, France must make a choice, these days, Yang Meng also learned about the political situation in France, which is undoubtedly good news for Yang Meng.

The political situation in France is unstable, and the new president Napoleon III. Planning is underway to become the emperor. Collaborate with the old enemy Anglia. Although it seems to be very profitable, it is not in the interests of Napoleon III.

The capture of Annam, this is called the development of overseas colonies, compared to Yunyan, this can undoubtedly improve Napoleon III's status in the country, and he promised some mineral export lists, presumably the current France. You should choose yourself as a surrogate.

In the past few days, there has been no good news on Renres's side, French businessmen cannot contact high-level politicians, and the French fleet near Asia is an existence that Renres cannot contact.

Waiting is also a torment for Yang Meng.

"Master, what are you worried about? Say it, Zhiqing will relieve your boredom, seeing that you don't eat well and sleep well, we don't feel good in our hearts! ”

Holding Lian'er in his arms. Wei Zhiqing tapped lightly behind her back, Yang Meng has been planning things in southern Xinjiang these days. Many ideas were overturned and restarted, and without the help of France, it would be difficult for Yang Meng to defeat the British devils entrenched in India.

After all, there is still a gap in the military strength of the two sides, Yang Meng cannot do his best in Yunnan, and the British can fight in the southeast peninsula with their hands and feet, tens of thousands of losses, if they come again and again, the four provinces can still be easily digested, a large-scale war, tens of thousands of casualties at a time, it will not take a few times to make the hearts of the people in the four provinces collapse.

The big war, although Yang Meng said that he was looking forward to it, what he was looking forward to was that the subject countries and England would start a big war for days, and if this was done, Yang Meng could easily assist the subject countries and let them save a sense of gratitude; second, these subject states can solve the trouble of a large number of casualties in the army for Yang Meng; The third is the continuous war, which can not only consume the combat power of England, but also increase the hatred of each subject country and England without limit, so that after the war, Yang Meng can easily get the subject countries under his command.

Since arriving in Guangzhou, I have not heard any news from the southern Xinjiang side, although I have been urging this Morse to pull the telegraph line, but the output is limited, and the thousands of kilometers of telegraph line also need to be produced on the Milican side.

Today I got a flying pigeon biography of nothing to do in southern Xinjiang, Yang Meng's brows furrowed for a day, and Yang Meng didn't eat or drink much during this day, which made Lian'er and Wei Zhiqing who were following him anxious.

"Trouble! Playing his own tricks, this France has been slow to move, and can only attack England! ”

It is very likely that France is also watching, they are waiting for England to come out of the basket, but England has been used to making a living as a robber for so many years, and there is no shortage of caution and meticulousness.

These two countries have time to consume, but Yang Meng has no time! The longer the wait, the clearer the analysis of the situation between the two countries will be, and the Qing Dynasty has a great weakness, that is, coastal defense.

If the British and French borrowed a little. Day. In this experience, there will be a good way, using pirates to destroy the long coastline of the Qing Dynasty and loot the interior, and the coastline of the Qing Dynasty is simply undefended, but these two countries are just bluffed by the huge population of the Qing Dynasty.

Yang Meng would never let such a thing happen, and it was the fastest and best way to further force the East India Company and let them do it in advance to drag the entire English into the quagmire of war on the Southeast Peninsula.

"Get some food, I'm hungry!"

As soon as Yang Meng said this, the two girls screamed happily and arranged a sumptuous dinner for Yang Meng.

The things on the table were swept away by the wind and clouds, and Yang Meng gave an eviction order to Lian'er, since this little girl was pregnant, she was a lot plump, and her ruddy face became more and more tempting. It's a pity, but I can't eat it, and the exercise after the meal can only be difficult for Wei Fuzi.

"Hee-hee...... It's good that no one is entangled, Wei Fuzi, you have been walking outside the figure these days, so don't go out more! ”

Lian'er chuckled, teased Wei Fuzi, and slowly left Yang Meng's house with a few maids.

"Master, find a few skinny horses......"

Seeing Yang Meng's movements, Wei Fuzi also collapsed on the brocade couch, got up early to exercise back to Yuan, woke up after deliberations, and exercised after meals to eat, his own man can only make her alone these days, although it is a favor, but Wei Fuzi can deal with Yang Meng alone, and he really can't stand it.

"What are you looking for them to do, to get some debts for no reason, it's better to be Wei Fuzi!"

Strictly controlling the number of back houses is also Yang Meng's responsibility, otherwise it will be troublesome to make a big mess in the future. There is no one left, and all over again. Iron goods have to be turned into rotten wood. Moreover, the thin horses raised in the back house cannot be rewarded, and Yang Meng can't wear such a hat.

"Taichen, the East India Company gave us a few warships?"

When he woke up, he was refreshed, leaving Wei Fuzi, and Yang Meng found Ding Taichen. As soon as he opened his mouth, he pointed the finger at the East India Company.

"Yesterday I gave three merchant ships, all of which were converted from warships, and they have already received both money and goods!

This month, it is said that there are ten more ships, but the price of these broken ships is a bit outrageous! ”

The East India Company's ability is not small, and in just a few days, it can get decommissioned warships, but these calves are not good people, and Yang Meng raised the price of Yunyan. The East India Company, too, did not hesitate. directly gave Ding Taichen a sky-high price.

"You kid can't bargain?"

Although the Yang family has been acting as a fool and a lot of money, Yang Meng still doesn't want to spend the money in vain.

"I can't talk about it! The English battleships are indeed unique, these three battleships are all huge ships with a displacement of 4,000 tons, and the shipyard has only accepted two such giant ships!

There are also these three ships, all of which are seventy years old, and they are shabby, so I handed over the ships and drawings to the shipyard, and the transformation of the ironclad ships began with these three! ”

At that time, although Yang Meng said that he wanted a warship with a service period of 30 to 50 years, these three 70-year-old warships, although they were very dilapidated, but the structure was still basically intact, and the 4,000-ton giant ship could not be found.

"Hmmm! Not bad either! At least it's a giant ship! Tell the East India Company that in the future, we will only need three old ships a month, no more! Old ships with a displacement of less than three thousand tons, only give the price of cabbage!

As for their demand for cloud smoke, we can supply it in unlimited quantities, but there is a cash settlement! ”

Forcing the English dog to jump over the wall is actually very simple! Five times the price of cash transactions, I am afraid that the English side will immediately jump to scold the mother, three old warships, in exchange for cloud smoke, is not enough to meet the usual market demand of the British Lane, the dog is only a matter of time to jump over the wall.

Ding Taichen had the news brought to the East India Company, and Smith took the half-old man who didn't speak human words to Lixiang Garden in the afternoon. This time, Smith was completely like an entourage, and the half-old man also looked like a person.

"Old thing, are you looking for humiliation again?"

There was no courtesy, Yang Meng came up with a splashy face, and a word made the half-old man's face red.

"You can call me Ashbourne and insult an old man, is this the level of education in your country?"

The Chinese spoken by this Ashbourne was not satisfactory, but the wording was extremely sharp and difficult, and it seemed that this was also a veteran at the negotiating table.

"To be old and not to die is to be a thief, this sentence has been circulated in my country for thousands of years, and the old thing is already my honorific title for you, otherwise you are an old thief!

Something to say, what kind of sharp fight, Yang Laozi doesn't have time to ink with you! ”

What Yang Meng wants to show today is shamelessness and no bottom limit, otherwise how can he force the English dog to jump off the wall in a hurry?

"Good! Then let's talk about the matter, I talked about the retired warship of Lu before, why do you have another explanation? ”

Ashburn didn't dwell on the salutation, and went straight to the point.

"Not for anything! Yang Laozi doesn't want it anymore! ”

Yang Meng's words have a lot of meaning, in Ashborne's opinion, there must be other countries that sold warships with artillery, so they blocked the trade routes of the East India Company.

"Did another country sell you a warship? Young man, it seems that you know the strength of the Imperial Navy, otherwise you would not be in a hurry to buy warships.

What a pity! Your trade routes are about to be cut off! ”

The threat was expected for Yang Meng, and he didn't react to it too much, but took out a contract in French.

"You don't count if you say that the trade routes are interrupted, but the supply of cloud smoke in England will be cut off today! I will not trade with any English merchant in the future, and without my permission, anyone who trades with an English merchant will be cut off from his supply, and this is the contract I am drafting.

Any merchant who sells the smoke to England will be ten times the current price, that is, fifty times the original price, and must settle it in cash.

Fifty times the price, one ton of cloud smoke is two hundred and fifty tons of silver, presumably this result is something that this country is very willing to see, and they must be willing to be this pawn! ”

Clicking on the French contract on the table, Yang Meng also threw out the killer trick of forcing the dog to jump over the wall.

"Oh hehe...... Young man, you are really guts, needless to say, tomorrow's Guangzhou will be a sea of fire! ”

After listening to Yang Meng's words, Ya Xibourne didn't show any excess, and decided to start the war with a light smile.

"Huh...... Old thief, I'm afraid you don't have the ability, you want to start a war in Guangzhou, don't you need the permission of your empire?

Tomorrow, if you fire a cannon and try it, and if you fire a cannon, the price of cloud smoke will rise tenfold, and in the future, the transaction of cloud smoke will not be carried out in any port of the Qing Dynasty, and for this reason, the price of cloud smoke in various countries will rise.

War, it's easy to start, but if you want to end it, it's not up to you to have the final say, just look at the people of your country, the demand for clouds and smoke is great, or the demand for war is great!

Get out of here! ”

Looking at Yang Meng, who was embarrassed and angry, Ya Xibourne's face really changed, this rogue General Yang, but he dared to say and do, there are still the top leaders of the empire above him, and there is also the queen above the top level, even if the queen agrees to go to war, there are still the House and the people!

Fighting a war is quite prudent for a serious country, and a hasty war often means defeat, and when it comes to real political hooligans, Ashbourne has no choice. (To be continued......)
