Looking at General Yang of the Qing Kingdom, who was embarrassed and angry, Yahibone wished that he had a double-rifled Burke at hand, and he could dissipate the anger in his heart by shooting him apart.

Unilaterally start a war with the Qing State, England will not dare, once the Qing State loses too much, the balance of Europe will be broken, the balance is gone, there will be countries to perish, if such a consequence befalls England, this is absolutely impossible for Ashburn to accept.

"General Yang, do you know the way of your country by doing this?"

If the two sides at the negotiation table are tough against tough, the negotiations will soon break down, and the breakdown of the negotiations is something to be expected for Yang Meng, but for Ya Xiburn, it is a disaster.

Where is Yunnan, Ashbourne knows very well that England has not thought of marching into Yunnan, but the two rivers and countless mountains have blocked the footsteps of England, in case this General Yang really escapes into Yunnan, with the arms that the East India Company traded with him, anyone who wants to invade mountainous Yunnan will pay an extremely heavy price, and there is a great possibility of failure.

For the Qing government, Ashburn can only despise or despise the Qing government, a weak, incompetent, ignorant, and corrupt government can't threaten this General Yang, so he can only attack the Qing government.

"Alas...... The reality is very helpless! Actually, I envy you, Ashborne, that you have a government to be loyal to, and that I am just a lonely ghost.

I also want to be loyal to a court worthy of allegiance, but alas, no!

If anything, the war nine years ago. You don't have the slightest chance of winning!

The human and financial resources that I have at my disposal. Absolutely terrifying. It's just that this braid behind me is holding me back, if possible, Mr. Ahiborne, can you cut it off for me?" ”

Yang Meng, who was wearing pigtails, walked in front of Ya Xi Byrne step by step, and in Ya Xi Bern's eyes, this Yang General was a complete madman, in order to destroy the Qing Kingdom, he actually wanted to take the lead in triggering a large-scale war.

"Crazy! You'd better sober up! We'll talk about it tomorrow! ”

Looking at the pigtailed madman opposite. Ahbone remembered a man, an equally crazy little man, who had cost the Empire a great deal, even if England had finally defeated the little French man, but the price had been great.

Unlike the little man at the beginning, this Napoleon of the East was even younger and more crazy, he had a lot of wealth, and he also had an army, and Ashburn was a little frightened when he thought of this. It's not that I'm afraid of Yang Meng, but I'm afraid of the impending war.

It's the same as what General Yang said. Empires have something in Asia that cannot be lost, and once lost, how long can the sun never set? In order to stabilize General Yang, who was in a frenzy, Yahibone had to make a concession, and he also needed to go back and analyze the situation if he talked about it another day.

Looking at the embarrassed retreating Yahibourne, Yang Meng knew that this was not a retreat, but a real strategic avoidance, and the two sides had each other's hole cards to negotiate, and neither side would be easily defeated.

On the surface, he is the strong side, and Ashburn is the weak side, but in fact, in the bottom, Yang Meng is the one who is strong in the outside, and whether the negotiation is successful or not has the greatest impact on Yang Meng.

"Cautious old traitor! Damn French! ”

After sitting down, Yang Meng slapped the table vigorously, venting the pressure in his heart, Ya Xi Bern, a cautious opponent, is undoubtedly terrifying, fortunately, he is different from himself, some words Ya Xi Bon can only say, if he wants to act, he still has the upper echelons of the empire on his head.

And his only advantage is that he can act recklessly, and the title of madman, which Ashibone gives is still very pertinent.

"The Third Master ......"

Yang Meng slapped a palm, which made the sandalwood table also make a 'squeak' sound, and Ding Taichen, who was on the side, was also the first time to see the third master angry, and he couldn't help but worry.

"Let Renres's side move faster, preferably in the next few days, I can negotiate with the French!"

Rubbing his somewhat red and swollen palms, Yang Meng gave a low command, and fell into deep thought.

Yunyan is a sharp weapon, but there is also a great risk, and now all he can do is to pray for God's blessing, bless Britain and France not to reach a consensus on the issue of Yunyan, and bless England to give up the offensive at sea and instead consolidate the strength of the Southeast Peninsula.

Yang Meng fell into deep thought, and Ahbourne, who was sitting in the carriage, was also very thoughtful.

"Sir, are we going to attack at sea? Although the Imperial Navy cannot be used, the ships of the East India Company can! I believe that as long as enough pressure is given to Qing Guo, General Yang's side will also compromise! ”

Smith, the commercial representative of the East India Company, is definitely a China expert, and he still boasts that he knows a little bit about the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty, and the most commonly used political means in the declining empire is compromise!

"Idiot! That General Yang is a careerist entrenched in Yunnan, the warship is very simple to fire, as long as the charge is fired, it can be successful, but have you thought about the consequences?

Although the Qing State did not have a navy, there were hundreds of thousands of standing armies, and the population was the advantage of the Qing State.

There is absolute superiority in the maritime empire, but what about land warfare? What will the French do once they get bogged down in war? It is impossible for all the imperial armies to be sent to the Qing country, and if there is a large-scale war, we can only use a large number of Indian soldiers, but their loyalty is worth testing.

Although General Yang is crazy, he is still extremely keen in politics and military affairs, and he has discovered the weakness of the empire in Asia, and once his plan comes true, it will not benefit the empire in the slightest! ”

The war was simple, but the outcome of the war was something that someone like Ahbon had to consider, and if it was true, as General Yang said, India would fall into a tide of rebellion again, and the impact on the empire would be devastating.

Similarly, this General Yang used the clouds and smoke to plunder the empire's gold and silver, and the blow to the empire's economy was also devastating, and how to balance the proportion of war and peace talks was what Ahbone had to do.

"Sir, can't we attack Burma? The territory of Myanmar has been consolidated. Let's go to war against Yunnan again. That way, there are no worries! ”

If you can't make a plan, you will have another plan. Lord Ahiburne was a high-ranking figure, and it was only natural that Smith would go out of his way to present himself.

"It's even more stupid, General Yang, who is most looking forward to our war with Burma, so that he can take the opportunity to drag the empire into the quagmire of war.

In the last Anglo-Burmese war, we suffered more than 15,000 casualties and spent more than 15 million pounds, but we only received 2 million pounds in war reparations. Attacking Myanmar is not as easy as you think.

Although the empire has absolute superiority at sea, warships cannot walk on land, and time does not allow it to completely control Burma.

General Yang's clouds will leave the empire without funds to sustain the war in Burma, and once the supply on the front line is insufficient, the rout will spread! ”

No one is a fool, Yang Meng's purpose, Ya Xiburn can guess it. It is nothing more than to weaken the Qing State and England, but join forces with the Qing State against General Yang. Ahbourne also denied it at the first time.

This may be a ploy of the Qing State, what if the Qing State wants to take the opportunity to get military assistance from the Empire? A large country with a population of hundreds of millions of people has advanced weapons, which is extremely detrimental to the layout of the empire in Asia.

"Lord, what are we going to do?"

Two successive strategies were rejected, and Smith had no good ideas, so he could only turn his attention to Ahbourne.

"Don't deal with it!

Let the Empire's Asian fleet sail to the vicinity of Canton, away from their batteries, and the warships of the East India Company will also join this sequence, although we can't start a war, but we can still do it by mobilizing the navy to cruise in the waters outside the Qing Dynasty, at least there must be a fleet of more than thirty ships! ”

After saying this, Ashburn also closed his eyes, whether it is a war with the Qing State or a war with Burma, although it is good for the empire, the price paid is too great, and the war situation in these two aspects is what General Yang is looking forward to, at this time, war is the worst option, and deterrence and persecution are the best choices.

This time, the target of Ashburn is not the Qing Kingdom, nor General Yang, but the same European and American countries as England, as long as the imperial fleet makes a posture of war, presumably for the sake of huge economic interests, these people will put pressure on that madman General Yang, right?

Once this General Yang is stubborn, then Yunyan will become the target of all countries, and Europe and the United States will join forces to wage war against the Qing State, and this result will be the best.

Like Yang Meng's worst guess, Ahibourne also used the clouds and smoke, the imperial envoy's interests, and Yahibourne's most proficient means, only interests are the ultimate weapon, and war is just a means to seek benefits.

"Third Master, according to the Shadow Report, three warships of England are assembled in the open sea."

The next day, Ding Taichen brought Yang Meng an extremely bad news, in one night, three warships, does England really want to go to war?

"Three? Coast?

Let the shipyard be on higher alert, and the artillery will be arranged in a predetermined position, ready for war at any time! ”

England would not be so reckless, could it be the fleet of the East India Company? It can't be either! With the presence of the old fox of Ahiborne, England would not go to war without permission, and when it came to unilaterally starting a war with the Qing Dynasty, General Yang did not have such an advantage and determination.

Stress! After pondering for a while, Yang Meng also came up with the answer, this method of being played bad by the great powers of later generations is undoubtedly extremely clever, blocking the trade route of Yunyan, so that the great powers and countries will focus their eyes on the scarce Yunyan, this Ya Xibourne's method is not simple.

It seems that England has no idea of going to war at all, and maintaining the status quo is the purpose of Ahiborne, which is not a bad thing for Yang Meng, and what he needs is time.

But Yang Meng is still not at ease to let such a sea beast as Yingli watch by his side, although this sentence has allowed Ashburn to take the lead, he will not give up easily.

"Taichen, inform Ma Qinghu in western Yunnan, let the Blue Flag Army dispatch, pretending to be the Burmese army to harass the British army on a large scale, and Qiao Gunai's side is the same.

Let Uncle Ding in western Yunnan contact the king of Burma to see if he has the strength, swallow a batch of guns, and the price will go up as much as possible, and the price must not be reduced, it will be almost three or five times! ”

Since England doesn't want to go to war, Yang Meng wants to provoke a war, whether to start a war or not, it's not a few people who have the final say, Myanmar's provocation is bound to cause England to counterattack, and the more you fight, the bigger the scale, this is war.

"Third Master, those warships?"

"Leave him alone, presumably Ashburn will come to see me today, for the sake of England, he will not go to war, it is just a deterrent, don't take it to heart, but the new army in Guangzhou must be ready for war, so it should be an exercise!"

Although he guessed Ahiborne's idea, Yang Meng would not ignore it, and made the due response to prevent the British army from launching a surprise attack, which was also a must.

In the afternoon, at that point in time, Ashburn and Smith came to the Lychee Garden again.

"General Yang, have you thought about it?"

"Go to war? Then let's fight! I'm always ready here! ”

"General Yang, the empire's fleet is already gathering, I will give you ten days, and after ten days, we will cut off all the sea trade routes of the Qing Kingdom!"

"You can't stop it! You can't stop the English rum, let alone the long coastline of the Qing Dynasty? I have a way to ship, but I am afraid that the British fleet will become the enemy of Europe and the United States! ”

Blockade of trade routes? Yang Meng also has his own way of dealing with it, smuggling is just that, as long as the goods are delivered to the buyer, the remaining contradictions are between England and Europe and the United States.

"I hope there can be a more formal negotiation between us, and we'll see you again in ten days!"

Ahiburn poked Yang Meng's weakness, Yang Meng was the same, blocking the coastline of the Qing Dynasty, even the British fleet, it was impossible to send all of them, Yahiborn, who was hit in the weakness, didn't say anything, and in a few minutes, the two completed the negotiation.
