Chapter 362: Undercurrent
In three months, countless gold and silver were held, I'm afraid England won't be able to get so much gold and silver in a few years in the Qing Dynasty, right? If you can't get it for more than ten years, you won't be able to do it!
Accept everything when you see it, and plunder so much gold and silver from England in three months, I am afraid that the end of the country has also reached the limit of patience, if there is no matter in the southern Xinjiang and the threat of France, I am afraid that those gangs of people eat people and do not spit out bones, and the war would have started a long time ago.
"Only 100 people died, but it's a pity, I also killed more than 2,000 people in southern Xinjiang, but this is just the beginning, let's slowly expand the results in the future!"
Yang Meng's answer was very different from what Pan Shicheng thought, and he was talking about gold and silver and Yang Fuliang! Why did it put it on killing foreign devils?
"Xingdou, this matter should not be underestimated, the warships at the mouth of the Pearl River are afraid that the English are playing behind their backs.
In addition, the demand for cloud smoke in England seems to be much lower, and there are several small European countries, and the demand for cloud smoke has increased more than ten times at once, and I am afraid that there are also hands and feet of England.
You and I both know the Tao, a large amount of gold and silver outflow, what does it mean to a court, this England is not like the Qing Dynasty, do you have to force him to jump off the wall in a hurry?
And the matter of southern Xinjiang, why did you kill thousands of foreigners? ”
The silver famine of the Qing Dynasty, Pan Shicheng saw it in his eyes, and this kind of thing was also the first time he saw it, and only now did he know the harm of importing tobacco and soil in large quantities from England to the Qing Dynasty.
As a big businessman, Pan has no shortage of silver, and has earned a lot of money over the years, and Pan Shicheng's vision has gradually shifted from business to a higher position, from a field to a country. The so-called Shinong industry and commerce. This ranking seems to be reversed.
But compared to his own beloved son-in-law killing foreigners. These are trivial things, although national strength is a comprehensive thing, but most of the time a country's military force is a symbol of national strength.
Although England and the Qing Dynasty are far away from the Qing Dynasty, the threat of strong ships and cannons still exists, and the number of English is small. However, it is not impossible to endanger the maritime frontier like the Ming Dynasty's Japanese invaders.
Whether it is the major commercial ports or the land of Gyeonggi, they are all close to the sea frontier, once the English people let go, I am afraid that the Qing court will not be able to stop it!
Today's Guangzhou, although the surface is quite balanced, but the undercurrent underneath is terrifying, Gengzi reappeared in the first battle, maybe only between the backhand, once the war started. Guangzhou is difficult to protect, and Gyeonggi is also in danger. Young people are still too reckless.
"I formed a Blue Flag Army, and the British army fought a battle in the Mae Sai River Valley at the junction of Burma, Vietnam and Thailand, and wiped out the 2,000 British troops who came to attack, and the Indian reinforcements sent by the British were also completely annihilated by the Burmese army.
Yang Meng simply talked about the war in southern Xinjiang, but Pan Shicheng's face became worse and worse, it seems that the actions of the British are not without reason, most of this matter is caused by his beloved son-in-law.
"How can you be so reckless, we can't fight England at sea, you start a war without permission, Guangzhou is in danger! Gyeonggi is in danger!
As soon as the southeast door is opened, wolves enter the country, how can this situation be good? ”
Now Pan Shicheng also knows where this undercurrent comes from, the shipyard has not yet had a new ship to go to sea, and most of the warships purchased recently are old and unbearable to sail, once the war starts, although the dozen old warships can be used, but the role is very limited, once the English break the country again, the consequences will be unimaginable.
What the hell is the army of the imperial court, Pan Shicheng also knows it, although in the first battle of Gengzi, the imperial court commended many generals who died in the line of duty, but how those people died, Pan Shicheng knows better.
Although they have the heart to serve the country, they are powerless to form a country, and the people above not only do not contribute, but they are good at restricting them.
Guan Tianpei, Ge Yunfei, Chen Huacheng, Yu Qian, Hailing, Chen Liansheng, no matter how Manmeng, these people all have the heart to serve the country, and they will not retreat from the battle, and what will happen in the end, just die!
It will be a good general, but there are no soldiers available, even if Sun Wu and Kong Ming are reincarnated, they will have to be humiliated, the court situation will be rotten, and once the war starts, I am afraid that it will be erosive.
"Xingdou, you don't know the situation in Guangzhou, then I'll tell you.
Now this Guangzhou, although the surface is fine, but the underground undercurrent, but there are too many to count, we make a lot of money, some people are red-eyed, although I have been the governor of Guangdong, but there is a governor of Guangzhou, there is a general of Guangzhou on an equal footing, these people's eyes are on us!
Although we have soldiers and generals, but Guangzhou is different from Yunnan, the two rivers and lakes are wide, hanging over their heads, although the imperial court said that they could not fight the great powers, but they still spared no effort to deal with their own families.
You raise the price without authorization, and if you mention it, it will be ten times, and the great powers and countries are also secretly plotting!
Although we are now relying on the huge profits of Yunyan to temporarily stabilize the situation, but once England makes a move, the allies will also have to become enemies, and the fat and wealth of the Qing Dynasty are quite tempting, which one doesn't want to take a bite?
Don't think that Yunyan is an indispensable thing, once there is no Qing Dynasty, we are fat meat in the eyes of the great powers, good tigers can't stand the wolves, if the Qing Dynasty is erosive, how do we deal with it, the wolves on the sea?
Another point, as long as the great powers burst out of the clouds, the imperial court would have no other thoughts? During this time, the envoys of England are also moving around frequently, and the situation is quite unfavorable for us!
As soon as you lose your position as the chief soldier of Tengyue Town, we will have no official support, once the war starts, how can you send troops? Like southern Xinjiang to organize a large army to fight against the great powers, I am afraid that when the time comes, the first to fight with us is the imperial court.
Once the undercurrent is on the bright side, we are enemies in all directions! After the suppression of the imperial court, there were major powers in the front, but I am afraid that it will be ......"
didn't give Yang Meng a chance to explain, his father-in-law Pan Shicheng said a lot, but he analyzed the situation clearly.
Pan Shicheng is not an ordinary businessman, during the Gengzi period, he also hung the title of secretary of the Ministry of War, and he is not ignorant of military affairs, and these analyses are quite unique.
You have a good plan, I have a wall ladder, and the price of Yunyan has risen sharply. The English are not without a strategy to deal with. Through the merchants of small European countries. Replacing the clouds with a large number of English goods, although a part of the profits will be distributed to these small countries, is also a clever plan to kill two birds with one stone.
First got rid of Yang Meng's wanton plundering of England's gold and silver, and then through these interests, to envelop these small countries, once Yang Meng cut off the supply of cloud and smoke from these small countries, then England and these small countries have common interests, together with the Qing Dynasty. It can also be predicted.
Combining vertical and horizontal is a means of two thousand years, Pan Shicheng naturally clearly understands that his beloved son-in-law wants to use clouds and smoke to contain England, and the capital is not enough!
"Huh...... Father-in-law, your analysis is good, I only have one way to deal with it here, and that is to attack the enemy and save it! ”
After listening to Pan Shicheng's analysis, Yang Meng pinched his brows. The opening is a sentence that the enemy will be saved.
"Attack the enemy and save it? Why? ”
"India!"
"India?"
"Not bad! This India is the root of England in Asia. If India is lost, then England will lose its roots.
The first war in southern Xinjiang was not aimed at the southeast peninsula, but England's India, and I stationed more than 10,000 people on the Tibetan border.
We are just messing up the overall situation, 10,000 horses, it's about the same, when the time comes, the Indians will naturally attack it in groups, let's just see the excitement.
Once the English want to launch an offensive here, I will massacre the English over there, weighing the pros and cons, presumably the English will use it, and when the time comes, whether to fight the Qing Dynasty or protect India depends on their choice.
In the Qing Dynasty, the outcome is unpredictable, and India will lose; Defending India, it's not that I don't have follow-up tricks, it's nothing more than supporting the rebels, and when the time comes, we just need to supply guns and artillery.
The undercurrent, not only we have, the English side is bigger, France is the old enemy of England, can't we use it? Millican and England are not ironclads, so they can't contain England?
Playing with vertical and horizontal, they are still apprentices and grandchildren, can't Yunyan be used as a weapon?
Father-in-law, you said that if we sell Yunyan to the navies of France and Milican at a price of five times, and then fix the price for England at ten times, you say that the navies of these two countries will help England fight us? Or will it help us to harm England?
Although England said that the ships are strong and the guns are strong, but these two countries are not given in vain, if these two countries do not succeed, we can also find the navy of other countries, presumably a large amount of gold and silver, no one will refuse! ”
What is the situation in Guangzhou, how big is the undercurrent underground, Yang Meng is not very clear, but there is one thing that Yang Meng is very clear, that is, the powers gathered in Guangzhou, come here, not to watch a play, or to start a war for no reason, what they seek is interests, as long as the interests are enough, everything can be discussed.
"That's just wishful thinking, since Yunyan is a weapon to make money, and the strength of the great powers and countries is there, wouldn't it be better for them to join forces with England?"
The words of his son-in-law Yang Meng sound reasonable, but there is also a huge loophole, that is, the comparison of the strength of the great powers and the Qing Dynasty, fighting on land, it is not easy to say now, but in naval battles, the Qing Dynasty did not even have a decent naval division, and the results were the same whether they fought or not, and the batteries everywhere were still old guns and old medicines, and they couldn't prevent sea ships at all!
England and Daqing, one is holding gold bricks, the other is behind Jinshan, how to choose, everyone understands, beating down Daqing, you can get the formula of cloud smoke, as long as Yingli howls in such a voice, the plan of the son-in-law is all in vain!
"Hmmm! This is the time for us to show our strength, telling the great powers that they are powerful at sea, but on land, they are just plates, Yunnan is high and far away, and they are fighting over?
They also have to weigh the losses, and besides, Yunyan comes from Yunnan, which is clear to all the great powers and countries, and it is better to start from the southeast peninsula than from the Qing Dynasty.
Although the Yangtze River can go directly to Yunnan, it is easy to block the Yangtze River! Compared with the Yangtze River and the Pearl River, it is undoubtedly better to bully those countries in the southeast peninsula.
At this time, it is a good time for all countries to wait and see, and it is also a good time for us to show our strength, so that England will suffer a blood loss on land, and they will understand who to cooperate with and who not to cooperate with, as for the imperial court, we will let him die? ”
As long as the land war can be taken about the shot, the population of 40,000 in the Qing Dynasty is a moat, a moat to deter the great powers, and the war in southern Xinjiang is the touchstone of the new army in Yunnan.
If you want to take advantage of this undercurrent in Guangzhou, the capital on the battlefield is the foundation, and if you can't win a land battle, then Yang Meng has to consider the back road.
"Hmmm! Sounds good, but if we go to war, our strength ......"
The beloved son-in-law is a big cake at hand, but starting a war is not a trivial matter, although the court does not care much about the strength of the powers, but Pan Shicheng is clear, once the war starts, the soldiers are easy to disperse, and the foreigners are one enemy and ten, which is the truth for the court.
"This batch of gold and silver is our backing, with these things as the old capital, even if there is no cloud smoke, we can hold on for a while, and when Yunnan's various transactions have profits, we can run on our own."
How many warships are there for Yang Fuliang and Patrick? But all around Guangzhou? ”
Today's Yunnan and the other three provinces, in agriculture and traditional commerce is quite remarkable, but in other aspects, it is a little deformed, the current Yunnan, almost all rely on the cloud and smoke in the support, this is the reality of Yunnan.
Yunnan's various affairs, want to run on their own, the main thing that is lacking is time, once the machine turns, then Yunyan can slowly give up.
These are still trivial matters for Yang Meng, combat effectiveness is the guarantee of everything, and naval warships are also necessary things, after all, there is still a shipyard in Guangzhou.
"Seven large and small warships, more than 20 merchant ships, and more than a dozen of them in the shipyard, although the large old warships, although they are somewhat decayed, but the guns on them are all there, and they still have a certain combat effectiveness in the coastal waters."
"Hmmm! That's fine, then we can talk about it first. (To be continued......)
