Chapter 678: Five Nations Shipyard (6)

"Hey, hey! This is even simpler, send troops out, train troops and form troops to be good people! ”

In Pan Shicheng's eyes, the smile of his son-in-law is a little calm, send troops? Now in the situation of the Qing Dynasty, how many soldiers can my son-in-law send out? If there are fewer factions, it will not help, and if there are too many factions, what will happen to the authority of the Qing Dynasty?

"Xingdou, I'm afraid this matter won't work, right? Even if you send troops, how many can you send? Don't forget that there is a court at home, an English overseas, and an Eros in the north! ”

The three major calamities, none of which are easy to deal with, the imperial court is now weak, if you don't take advantage of the situation, when the imperial court recovers, it will be difficult to take it again; England is now full of minions, and the slightest carelessness in the coastal area is a war raging; According to the information given by his son-in-law, the northern Oros was greatly injured in the Crimean War, and now is the time to hunt for food, and the Qing Dynasty is afraid that it will become fat in the eyes of Oros.

Send troops out, the country is empty, whether it is the imperial court, England or Eros, but they are all enemies of the Yang family!

"There are 300,000 soldiers, hundreds of thousands of family members, more than a million people, right?"

Yang Meng's answer was still light, and the old Taishan Pan Shicheng's head wrinkled again.

"Where?"

"The personnel of Wuzhuang!"

"There are so many people in Wuzhuang?"

"Hmmm! The Wuzhuang personnel in the four provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Tibet are at least more than one million, and the annual consumption is millions, which is also what I just thought, if it weren't for Lao Taishan to ask, I would have forgotten about this stubble!

The personnel of Wuzhuang in Yunnan are several times that of the New Army, and most of the personnel are slightly inferior in physical quality and combat quality to the New Army. But group operations. These people from Wuzhuang. Not much worse than the Forces nouvelles.

However, the salaries of these people are far worse than those of the new army, and the income from their work is limited and better than that of ordinary people. If they go out, they will be given twice as much as the new army, and three or five hundred thousand people in the four provinces should be gathered.

Taking this opportunity, you can also eliminate a group of old and weak Wuzhuang personnel and leave this group of people. The Yang family can save at least two or three million dollars a year, and after they don't get these salaries, more than half of the Wuzhuang personnel will choose to go out to make a living, so that whether it is food or silver, our side will be much richer.

After this group of personnel arrived in the local area, one was to protect our mine mountains and forests, and the other was to make good friends with the local people. It should be possible to integrate into the local area and feed our population with the Dawan Shipyard. At the same time, it can also affect the layout of the Americas and Australia, so why not? ”

At first, he wanted to send 10,000 Jianwei to cooperate with tens of thousands of new troops, but he never thought that a fork in his thinking made him come up with a brilliant idea.

"Star Dou! Your ideas are good and wonderful, but officials and businessmen in Europe and the United States are not stupid! You send so many people out, can they not be afraid?

As far as I am concerned, I don't want to see the decadence of the Qing Dynasty, the decadence of the Qing Dynasty, we have no confidence in doing business, and foreigners do business, don't look at these years, we have played vigorously, but there are countless places that have suffered losses!

The power of a businessman is so great that it can affect a country's national policy, but when it comes to the most fundamental things, the interests are sometimes not good. ”

Ai's son-in-law's layout is to treat officials and businessmen in Europe and the United States as living fools, which is a thing that can be broken at the first poke, once the mines everywhere make too much profit, it also means that the contradictions and conflicts will intensify.

Dawan Shipyard has gathered so many big businessmen who are enough to influence the policies of Europe and the United States, and after the contradictions intensify, it means that there will be a war for days, and these things are close at hand!

"Hmph...... Today's European and American officials or businessmen do not have such vision!

We will send these people out, in the name of labor, hundreds of thousands of people, distributed to all parts of the country, without showing the mountains and leaking water!

These people are not much different from the military households of Ming ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang, our people can give birth and raise, these Wuzhuang personnel in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Tibet, which family is not seven or eight people, the most is even a family of twenty or thirty people, and the initial distribution to various places is only a few thousand, tens of thousands of people, ten years later?

In terms of population, which country in the world can compare to the Qing Dynasty? Our personnel output is continuous, it will not take ten years, these people will be able to become a climate in three or five years, and then hire a group of locals, even if the naval battle is unfavorable, we still have the numerical advantage of 6 wars.

The great powers of Europe and the United States, in the early days, in these places, are all in arrears of blood, as long as we show good will, we can win over a group of people, the demand for coal and iron in Europe and the United States is rigid, as long as we lay a good foundation in the early stage.

They want to turn the tables, but also to test the strength, the Americas and Australia, and their homeland are far away from the ocean, supporting tens of thousands of people, or even hundreds of thousands of big battles, the pressure on logistics is too great, and for the combat effectiveness of Wuzhuang personnel, I also believe, even if there are a few failures, how much impact will it have on us?

The loss of a part of the fighting population is not a big deal for us, but the businessmen of these countries have lost their shares in the Dawan Shipyard, but they have even taken up the position. ”

Lao Taishan worries about the problem, Yang Meng is not worried, globalization is subject to productivity, no need to watch on the spot, Yang Meng also knows that the Americas, Australia's mines, the application of machinery is absolutely not high, and this is precisely one of the advantages of Dawan Shipyard.

It would be a joke if the world's largest shipyard could not build large ships of thousands of tons; The scale of Dawan Shipyard in the Americas and Australia will also attract foreign businessmen who have not invested in the shipyard to intervene, and when the time comes, the market for importing minerals and exporting machinery will also be extremely huge.

When the great powers and countries reminisce, the foundation of Dawan has already been formed, and then it will be strangled, and the great powers will still have to ask, Yang Mengtong, who occupies the leading power of the Dawan Shipyard, disagrees!

"That being said, the stakes are still not small!"

"Huh...... Old Tarzan, you are so old. The anger is also less. Wealth is always sought in danger. These words have been handed down by our ancestors. ”

"Alas...... Born calves are not afraid of tigers! Looks like I'm really old! ”

Looking at the ambitious son-in-law, Pan Shicheng also felt extremely fortunate for this semi-forced family affair at the beginning, fortunately, he didn't match his beloved son-in-law at the beginning, otherwise the Pan family would be extinct, right?

"It's time to get down to business, old Taishan, you have to show the arrogance of a provincial governor, otherwise how can these calves be paralyzed?"

The ship paused a few times. Yang Meng knows that he has arrived at the place, and he has just begun!

Disembarked, went ashore, and waited for Yang Meng on the Dawan Wharf It was none other than Hong Kong Governor Baoling and Minister Pa Xiali.

"Yo...... You two are uninvited, but it's not polite! Lao Tzu's previous words have been put down, are you deaf, didn't you hear? Or do you have a bad brain and can't remember? ”

The river was swept away, and there were no English warships. There was only one small steamer, and it seemed that the two of them were trying to show their sincerity. I've done a lot of articles.

The English courtesy, these days the business investigation team has also sent news from Hong Kong Island, the problem is really in the British cabinet, the external strong Palmerston in order to seek re-election, had to make concessions on some things.

During the last term, England not only moved the Crimean War, but also the war in India, and after a long period of reckless militarism, there must be opposition at home.

A few decades ago, the British army initially fought India and Burma, and the British army paid a huge amount of military expenses and casualties, and now India has not gained, although the British army is making smooth progress in India, but at this time, it took the initiative to start a war with the Qing State, the largest country in Asia, and the Palmerston cabinet still did not dare.

Palmerston did not dare to take the initiative to provoke a war, but it does not mean that they gave up their interests in China, the Qing Dynasty is a huge market, and it is still extremely beneficial for Palmerston to be re-elected by the Qing Dynasty, after all, it was Palmerston's cabinet that led the Crimean War and won the war, and the war with the Qing Dynasty made Palmerston's re-election inevitable.

Bao Ling's resolute attitude in the early stage was also out of an accurate interpretation of this policy, but the pressure on him from English merchants was too great, and the big merchants who could do business in the Qing Dynasty were also terrifying in England, dominating the Palmerston cabinet, and the backstage of these people was not impossible.

In the case of the Dawan Shipyard, Bao Ling can confirm that the newly appointed minister of the Qing State in Nanyang, even in Europe and the United States, is an excellent politician, and he is definitely an extremely difficult enemy to defeat.

In terms of military strength and national strength, there was a considerable gap between the Qing State and the British Empire, but this Yang Butang used commercial means to balance this gap, and if he served as the Minister of Nanyang for a long time, it would be a disaster for England.

In the face of Yang Butang, who was presumptuous in language and arrogant in attitude, although Bao Ling was angry in his heart, he was forcibly suppressed, this is just the appearance, once, the British businessman's shareholding in Dawan Shipyard was rejected because of his Hong Kong governor, and he was not alone, if he didn't get the domestic appearance, he would have to fall with it, such a disaster, since he foresaw it, Bao Ling didn't want him to live.

gave Pa Xiali a look, and the governor of Hong Kong gave Yang Meng an extremely reluctant smile and an extremely awkward bow.

"Yang Butang, this time we are here to apologize, when we met that day, I drank too much with the Governor, and I spoke a little presumptuously, and I asked the Lord Ministries to understand."

In front of many European and American businessmen and Qing officials, they reluctantly bowed to Yang Meng and apologized, and these two also used their strength.

"The two of you, one is a Chinese expert, the other can speak Cantonese, this Chinese question is broad and profound, don't just learn to speak people and don't do things, sometimes, it is still necessary to follow us to learn how to be a person.

Interests first, in view of the enthusiastic attitude of British businessmen, the affairs of the two of you, Lao Tzu will not care about you, but this can't change, Lao Tzu's bad impression of you, let's come together! ”

Yang Meng's high posture almost crooked the noses of the two of them, but the negotiation field is like this, no matter how powerful people insult those who lose power, it is not too much, and people have to bow their heads under the low eaves!

Dozens of major figures, after gathering at the wharf, boarded the open barge, and walked along Dawan Island in a half circle along the river bank, including the ministers of various countries, all believed Yang Meng's previous statement of spending tens of millions of taels.

The prototype of the dock being excavated is not the one hundred that Yang Meng said at the beginning, some people who are interested have carefully counted, there are more than 200 deep pits that have been dug along the riverbank, and there are more than 200 that are being excavated, these are all large docks, after the completion of these docks, what kind of ships to build and maintain, naturally there are accompanying professionals to explain to foreign businessmen and ministers.

There is also a small island named Shazai near Dawan Island, Yang Meng is also preparing a big show here, dozens of ships of various sizes and sizes that are pitch black outside, when the barge arrives, they are slowly sunk into the river, and in less than an hour, the prototype of a dam appears in the eyes of everyone.

As long as there are enough boats, after loading earth and rock, the dam of the river can have an approximate within a few days, nearly ten days, in Guangzhou, this water 6 wharf, Ding Taichen gathered hundreds of thousands of civilian boats, it is still easy.

After watching this big show, the barge sailed to the other side of Dawan Island under the command of Yang Meng, the dam on this side has been formed, and the side of the tributary that flows into the sea for nearly ten miles has been intercepted by the dam, and the tributaries of the two Pearl River in the east and west have been cut off, and the prototype of the entire Dawan Shipyard has been there.
