Sometimes, centralization is absolutely beneficial, Yang Meng's creation of the Yang family's Yiyantang, in the matter of recruiting the Nobel family, played a great role, although Ding Taichen disagreed, but Yang Meng decided that as long as it could not be changed, Ding Taichen would still do his best to implement it.

"Third master, the temptation is also over, this Guangzhou wharf?"

The battle of Humen was fought for a day, and the Guangzhou wharf also stopped for a day, and the loss of this day, Ding Taichen has not been counted in the loss, if it is counted together, I am afraid that the third master will scratch his head again.

"Clean up the river overnight and make sure it is open to navigation before tomorrow! Humen guard Wang Fengyou's side will have a strip of Chen to renovate the Humen Fort in the near future, you can do it together! ”

The third master opened his mouth to be money! Sighing gloomily, Ding Taichen could only nod and agree, this errand has become more and more difficult recently, I am afraid that after entering Beijing, there will be more troubles.

"Third master, we don't have an advantage in this battle, we have to beware of the English again!"

Although he didn't know what the specific battle situation was in Humen, after Qin Ziqi saw Yang Meng's expression, he knew that the battle in Humen was unsatisfactory, and this time the British army only used a small number of gunboats......

"There is no war in the near future, early tomorrow morning, I'm afraid that Erjin and others will come to the door, there is nothing good for the evil guests to come to the door, and I don't know what they have tried, if Erjin comes tomorrow, inform Ye Mingchen and ask him not to take the note, or Lao Tzu come!"

The Humen artillery battle involved too many secrets, although Ye Mingchen voted for the Yang family, Yang Meng also restrained him to the death, but in the face of usurpation, it is difficult to ensure that Ye Mingchen is not confused!

"Came to the door after the war. There is no good banquet, and there is no good game. I'm tired of running around today. The third master should go back to Lixiang Garden, right? ”

Judging from his eyes, the third master is already very tired, Qin Ziqi has never seen such fatigue, even if he rushed back to Kunming from Tibet that time, the third master's vitality was greatly damaged, and his eyes were not so glorious.

"Alas...... Tired! Tired!! Tired!!! Fuck, have some fun tonight. Tomorrow is still Yang Laozi!

Ziqi and Taichen, you should work more tonight! ”

Today's Humen artillery battle, the blow to Yang Meng is not small, many things are subversive, many things are the same thing, it is another thing to really do it, I thought I was well prepared, but I didn't expect it to be far from enough, fortunately, I heard the good news that Nobel was short of money, otherwise Yang Meng didn't know how to parry.

Qin Ziqi is right. If Ergin comes tomorrow, it will really be a bad guest coming to the door. There is no good banquet and no good situation, and with his current state, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with Ergin's means.

For England, Yang Meng didn't dare to despise it anymore, today's England is undoubtedly the hegemon of the world, far more than dozens or hundreds of times the colonies of the mainland, it is a witness! If the politicians of England are stupid, where is the great situation of the British Empire?

Plan and then act, if Ergin comes to the door tomorrow, it shows that they are ready for some things, and some things include war!

To tell the truth, for the current situation, Yang Meng is a little discouraged, but also a little frustrated, some things, if you don't witness it with your own eyes, there is no approximation, in the past and present life, Yang Meng's understanding of war, most of them still stay on the concept of self-righteousness, the previous Jiangnan bandits, the early Humen annihilation war, Yang Meng paid too little.

In this Humen artillery battle, Erjin took out the strength of the world's largest country, and Yang Meng's side spent more than 100,000 yuan in silver in one day in order to confront it, and today's loss should be nothing to the British Empire, sinking four warships and seriously injuring seven, Humen's results seem to be not small, but what can be paid is not proportional to the national strength of the Qing Dynasty or the financial strength of the Yang family.

Discouraged or listless, it is not an uncommon thing for Yang Meng, Yang Meng also has a way to adjust this, that is, enjoy, enjoy the beauty, enjoy the food, enjoy the things that ordinary people can't enjoy, from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, in order to keep the power he enjoys, he has to fight, he has to fight, otherwise women, gold and silver, clothes, mansions, it is difficult to say whose it will be in the future!

It is unimaginable and unacceptable to let others spend their own gold and silver, play with their own women, and enslave their children and grandchildren.

Ambition is supported by desire, and revival is supported by ambition, this is the reason why Yang Meng persuaded himself to lead his family to rejuvenation, noble, righteous, and selfless have little to do with him, and interests are the best driving force to drive people's hearts and drive themselves forward.

Hurriedly returned to Lixiang Garden, Yang Meng gathered Wei Zhiqing, Suo Lang Baima, Ma Qinglian, Yanru, and Gu Yayue together.

The chefs of Lixiangyuan, there are imperial kitchens from the palace, and there are also folk tricks, on the painting boat of the big lake of Lixiangyuan, the dishes of the north and south, the rare birds of the sea and land, the old wine, the Western wine, Yang Meng's words, I am afraid that the four-color stick in Beijing has not seen such a scene.

The uncovered assembly, the wine pond meat forest, and the two secret pills were enough to make Yang Meng indulge all night, and Yang Meng, who walked off the painting boat the next day, was slightly pale, but his eyes were as dark as ghosts.

"Just know to be angry on us!"

The soft Solang Baima looked at Yang Meng's back and said angrily, she is not a big girl, and Yang Meng does not have much pity for the girls.

"Alas...... I'm afraid that our master is in trouble again, and we can't help now, so we can only let him have fun. ”

Wei Zhiqing followed Yang Meng's side the longest, and whenever she encountered difficulties, it was when her own man was tyrannical and absurd.

"What can he do if he can't help it?"

A man is a day, and meeting Yang Meng, who can count women at night, can be regarded as a blessing for Solang Baima, she naturally knows this, if she is really angry, she will not talk about it.

"Are you coming?"

Yang Meng returned to his courtyard, and under the service of Lian'er and others, he changed into an official uniform, freshened up, drank some porridge and ginseng soup, and Ding Taichen also arrived early.

"Hmmm! The English Ergin and Pasha Li had already arrived at Humen, and they sent a note directly to the third master. ”

"Bastard! Sure enough, the fight will come to the door. Walk. Go meet these two bastards. See what they have to say. ”

In the past few months, Ye Mingchen has been talking nonsense with Pasha Li, talking about things that are not painful, trivial, and have no beginning or tail.

From Humen to Guangzhou Wharf, it would take an hour or two, Yang Meng instructed the carriage to slow down, and squinted on the car. When he arrived at the Yamen, he practiced his fists and feet, not the Yangzu family that he practiced all year round, but his own killing technique.

After a few fists and feet, the spirit slowly returned, in Ding Taichen's eyes, the third master's eyes were different from a few days ago, and the first feeling was cold.

In the middle of the morning, the smiling Erjin and Pa Xiali came to Yang Meng's Nanyang minister's yamen. Looking at the smiles on the faces of the two, Yang Meng's heart was indescribably crooked.

"Hit and hit. Let's get down to business! Where did the two ministers come from? ”

Yang Butang is still as straightforward as before, but now Pasha Li has also understood the roots of this Yang Butang, a clay-footed giant with a weak heart, even if the surface is tough, it is still a clay-footed giant.

"Simple! Amendment, indemnity, the terms of the amendment remain the same, plus a free mission; The compensation was increased to 80 million taels and could be settled in installments. ”

Pa Xiali's attitude was very different from usual, and Yang Meng also had a bad premonition in his heart, I am afraid that Daqing and his own weakness were really taken by Yingli.

"Impossible! We also have conditions, if England wants to continue to trade with the Qing Dynasty, it must abrogate the treaty!

war, yesterday we also replied with practical actions, and we did not hesitate to fight in this matter! ”

Although the confidence is insufficient, but the heart must be sufficient, the arrogant Pasha Li has made Yang Meng unhappy, if there is a chance in the future, Yang Meng will definitely redouble his revenge on Yingji.

The so-called open-mindedness, in Yang Meng's eyes, is not a fart, no ability, no matter how kind you are, no matter how benevolent and enthusiastic, you will inevitably be bullied, today's international situation is like this, if a country wants to rise, it must also regard other countries as stepping stones.

You don't deceive others and bully you, the so-called open-mindedness is just standing at the peak and merciful to the people at your feet!

A country, to repay grievances with virtue, it is inevitable to leave a weak and deceitful mouth, it is inevitable to suffer losses in some things, the so-called loss is a blessing, that is a deceptive thing, the country not only can not suffer in the long run, it is a little thing can not suffer, eat once there is a second time, with the second time there are countless times, the country retaliates, is what Yang Meng wants to see the most.

"Don't say Yang Butang's words so decisively, don't hesitate to fight, what confidence do you have to say this?

With the population of your country? As far as I know, your country has been plagued by disasters and famines over the years, and many people are struggling to survive on the border between starvation and starvation, and one or two small battles may be able to support your country, and once a war breaks out between countries, you will be greeted by countless disasters!

With a population of 40,000, the pressure on food must not be small, right? How much of your country's smoke was exchanged for Millican's grain?

At this point, I admire Yang Butang very much, I'm afraid that the idea of exchanging clouds and smoke for food was also put forward by you, right?

But once you and we carry out the development, can your country's grain imports continue?

Here I would also like to give Yang Butang an analysis of the situation around your country, Milican is a large grain producer, and once a war starts, we will inevitably impose a certain amount of commodity embargo on your country, including the grain and arms that Milican sends to your country.

Although your country's immediate neighbor India was separated from the embrace of the British Empire in the early stage, according to the current form, the fall of India was only in this year or two, followed by Burma, Siam, and without the food supply of Millikan, West Asia and Southeast Asia, the government of your country is afraid that it will face a huge food problem.

Moreover, there is a large-scale war in your country that has affected the grain-producing areas, and in recent years, your country's finances have been on the verge of collapse, and if we go to war with the British Empire, will the emperor of your country be the emperor of the previous dynasty?

And the most critical point, your country's coastal defense is obviously not as strong as Yang Butang imagined, yesterday's Humen artillery battle was just a test of your country, and your country's consumption is probably not small, right?

Do the other four commercial ports along the coast also have such defensive and financial resources? Is there also a minister like Yang Butang who is proficient in war to defend?

Yang Butang, you'd better give us a positive answer within twenty days, otherwise your country's maritime frontier will be full of gunsmoke! ”

Sure enough, England finally grasped the weakness of Daqing and Yang Meng, and there were two of them, financial resources and food were weaknesses that could not be concealed at all, in short, the national strength was not enough!

"Pa Xia Li, are you trying to blackmail Lao Tzu?"

Yang Meng is not worried about the safety of the five major commercial ports, it really can't be done, Yang Meng still has a desperate plan, but Jinkou is not easy to say, if the territory wants to defend, it is too difficult, and the area to defend is too long.

"You can think so! Your country's national strength is not enough to support a large-scale foreign war, and it is better to retreat now than to compromise in the future! ”

If Ye Mingchen led this negotiation, if Pashali's reasons and conditions arrived in Beijing, this negotiation would really come according to the meaning of England, but unfortunately, this British Empire met him Yang San fool! (To be continued......)
