With the interests of Seward, Yang Meng left a few big men in Europe and the United States, with his own escort left the embassy, no need to think, the next four countries of Britain, France, the United States and Germany, to discuss must be how to curb the rise of their own country, the rise of a country or a clan is unstoppable, the time is just sooner or later, Britain, France, the United States and Germany can do nothing more than containment and blocking, and the means of containment and blocking, as far as it seems now, war is impossible, only a treaty is.

There is also a big difference between active and passive entering the international system, Yang Meng takes the initiative to enter this system, and can only follow the rules in this system; If it is passively entered, then there is something to talk about, the power to formulate rules, Yang Meng must get his hands, he will set the rules of Asia, the rules of Europe and the United States, the big guy will set, this is Yang Meng's request, as long as the European and American world can't meet his requirements, then shoot and scatter to play their own games, and see which one bows in the end.

After leaving the embassy, Yang Meng immediately went to the Guangzhou shipyard in Huangpu, which is the foundation of standing internationally, without these, only the blockade of Europe and the United States.

"Third master, I haven't seen you for a long time, your momentum is getting more and more sufficient! The so-called dwelling and qi nourishing the body, the ancients were honest and did not deceive me! ”

Walking into the Guangzhou shipyard, Ding Taichen was the first to greet him, after a few years, the Yang family has come to this point, thinking of these, Ding Da Butler is also embarrassed.

"Huh...... You are not the same, now Ding Ye, who stomps his feet and shakes the entire Jiangnan and shakes the entire Qing Dynasty, can be said to be famous all over the world! ”

Ding Taichen is the only person who can talk to Yang Meng head-on, Xu Ziwei is just a pastime character, and the one in front of him can be regarded as the golden beam in Yang Meng's hands.

"Don't talk about that. The third master is here. But for the ironclad? ”

After slapping each other's asses. Ding Taichen knew that now was a critical time, so he cleaned up the joy in his heart and talked about business solemnly.

"That's the key, how's it going?"

Yang Meng also cleaned up his expression, a hundred ships a year, it should be regarded as a miracle! I just don't know what this miracle has come to be.

"A hundred ironclad ships, all of which can go to sea, but the turret on this ship. There are only thirty of them, that is to say, there are only fifteen ironclad ships that can be pulled out for naval battle, and the remaining eighty-five are all samples, and the turrets are completely pine and black-painted, and the decks of sixty of them have not yet been completed.

If you don't shoot guns, this is a hundred ironclad ships, if you really do it, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on to it! ”

Facing the inquiry of his third master. Ding Taichen also said the truth that was not reported in the telegram, and these hundred ironclad ships are useless! looked at the third master with a wry smile. Ding Taichen also hoped that the helmsman of the Yang family would give him a direction.

"Hmmm! It's hard for you, it's not easy! Taichen, around Guangzhou, how many artillery do we have? Can the pine cannon on the ironclad ship make a sound? ”

Since the naval artillery could not be used, Yang Meng could only find a foil, he deployed thousands of large and small artillery pieces near the Guangzhou dock back then, plus the artillery of the surrounding batteries, how could there be three or five thousand artillery pieces near Guangzhou.

"This pine cannon has been watering and soaking, but it can hit a shell, as for the artillery around Guangzhou, it should have been more than 10,000, the specific number, you still need to look at the following account books."

The pine cannon can be used, but Yang Meng didn't expect it, he thought that the pine cannon on the ironclad ship was just a decoration, but he didn't expect this thing to really work!

"That's even better! Inform the following, three days later, 10,000 cannons will be fired in unison near Guangzhou, as for the pine cannons on the ironclad ship, how many empty cannons can be fired? ”

There is a way to fake the real and the real is fake, acting is just acting, the next thing to look at is the ability of the European envoys to distinguish, I am afraid that after a few miles, these white-skinned monkeys can't see anything real or false.

"If it's an empty cannon, ten or twenty rings should be fine!"

"That's good, let's arrange to go! The main and auxiliary guns of the ironclad ship, each cannon sounded, and three days later, 100 ships fired 10,000 cannons, and Lao Tzu was going to be stupid for those white-skinned monkeys!

Inform the following, if the real cannon comes to fight, if which one loses Lao Tzu's face, regardless of the position or position, but the hall will be slaughtered directly without asking about the crime! ”

Involving the overall situation of Tsarist Russia, Yang Meng's side is also unambiguous, three days later, this scene, once the performance is smashed, I am afraid that the European countries that were suppressed before will think that the current Qing Dynasty is vulnerable, although this is a bit close to reality, but the ugliness of the family can not be publicized, with the power of a country to fight against the world, such a stupid thing, Yang Meng really doesn't want to do it, even if such a thing is done, I am afraid that my own side is also in a state of dying with five labors and seven injuries, why bother?

The matter of the ironclad ship has a bottom, Yang Meng is not in a hurry, and takes Ding Taichen back to his former mansion, and talks about the blueprint for the future, the peace talks led by Li Hongzhang, Yang Meng doesn't care, if he doesn't want European countries to witness the signing of the boundary survey treaty, he won't take over this so-called mediation negotiation!

A big country should have the arrogance and arrogance of a big country, although there is no foundation in today's Qing Dynasty, but in a land war, against the whole of Europe, it can also fight a war of attrition for a year or two, with such confidence, in the face of a plate of scattered European countries, not arrogant, but Yang Meng's side is not confident enough.

The future, blueprint, hope, huge, Yang Meng and Ding Taichen talked for three days, involving too many aspects, always making people feel a deep sense of powerlessness, the country is too big, the population is too much, everything must be tired of the living!

"Taichen, the new dynasty will set up you to be a photo, Lao Tzu should retire! There are too many bad things to do! ”

The third master, who was in the prime of life, said these words, which was not abrupt in Ding Taichen's opinion, his third master was not as weak as the crown and carried the beam of the Yang family, and it was not easy to get to this point!

"Third master, the prime minister of the new dynasty, you have to let Zeng Disheng do it for a few years! Our manpower is directly on it, I'm afraid many people will be chilled! ”

"That's it! We'll talk about this later, let's see how shocked those crumbs in Europe are today! ”

After listening to Ding Taichen's words, Yang Meng rubbed his eyebrows, and he could only let go of some things, today is the first step for China to enter the international stage, and it is still better to be happy for such a grand event.

The mighty river gunboat fleet carried the members of the European envoys from the port of Guangzhou in the early morning, and a group of officials belonging to the Qing Dynasty went straight to the shipyard of the five countries at the mouth of the Pearl River.

Today's Wuguo Shipyard has been built into a fortress of Haikou by Ding Taichen, under the city wall of three zhang high and one zhang wide and dozens of miles long, there are more than 100 large docks, the world's first shipyard, and it is by no means a wasted thing.

Thousands of people stood on the city wall for dozens of miles, and many people's hearts were full of emotion, fortress-like shipyards, hundreds of large docks, the ambition of the Qing Kingdom was clearly revealed!

The Qing side did not give the European envoys much time to sigh, after the personnel were in place, starting from the port of Guangzhou, the rumbling cannons sounded one after another, and the forts along the way also joined the ranks one by one.

Finally, the cannon sound of the Humen Fort and the position of the Wuguo Shipyard, the rumbling cannon, after about half an hour, there was a burst of whistle at the mouth of the Pearl River.

"Steam Battleship!"

"Iron-hulled warship!"

"Ironclad battleship!"

……

Different names, shouted from the mouths of European envoys, but the same shocking, the first echelon of ironclad ships, posing is the posture of Ssangyong out of the water, twenty ironclad ships, all of them are mast-lined sailboats, the rear position of the battleship, is a huge chimney pulled up by several wire ropes, thick black smoke, accompanied by a piercing whistle, making the whole fleet look particularly hideous.

The ironclad fleet sailed through the waters where the shipyards of the five countries were located, and fired the main and auxiliary guns in turn, and the white water vapor, gray gunsmoke, and black soot were stirred together under the influence of the shock wave, and there was quite a posture of Shuanglong going to sea with the wind and clouds.

The ironclad ships of the first echelon have not yet sailed out of the range of the shipyards of the five countries, and the twenty ironclad ships of the second echelon have disturbed the thoughts of the European envoys.

"Sailless Battleship!"

This exclamation, but there is a bit of a uniform style, after watching the second-echelon ironclad ships sail past their sight, the European envoys looked at each other, when did the Qing Kingdom have such a huge navy?

The third echelon and the fourth echelon, because of the shock of the European and American envoys, did not cause exclamations again, while the finale of the fifth echelon of warships dispelled the last trace of illusion of the European and American envoys.

"First Class Steam Battleship!"

This sound, from the British legations, twenty first-class warships with a displacement of more than 5,000 tons, even if the British Empire was built, it would take up to four or five years, since the Battle of Yanwei, how long?

The Qing Dynasty built twenty first-class steam warships in one go, which is definitely a symbol of national strength, and the steam ironclad ships with a displacement of one or two thousand tons can be built by many countries in Europe, but the first- and second-class warships with a displacement of more than three thousand tons have a technical threshold, and the technical threshold of ironclad warships is undoubtedly higher, which represents that the shipbuilding technology of the Qing State is not inferior to European powers such as Britain and France.

In the face of such a Qing state, do you still want a naval battle? Listening to the exclamations of the English envoys, the expressions of the representatives of the small European countries looking at the British and French camps were a little thought-provoking......

Before the British and French partnership invaded the Qing State, the British and French coalition forces burned down the five estates of the Qing royal family, after the defeat of the first war, the British and French pulled Tsarist Russia into the war, and the result was a complete defeat, and Tsarist Russia was also dismembered by the angry Qing State, this time the British and French proposed to unite the whole of Europe and launch a naval war against the Qing State, which one is this to pit?

Looking at the distrustful eyes around him, the three big men of Britain, France and Germany were also pale for a while, this Duke Yang of the Qing Kingdom was too tricky, as soon as this play was sung, the European naval alliance basically collapsed, and it seemed that Tsarist Russia needed to think about it.
