Chapter 644: The Threat Comes from the Sea (Part II)

"Lord Wang, prevent Yang Laosan from becoming the second Lin Yuanfu! If the war is triggered again, the current imperial court will no longer be able to support it, the Yingyi ship is strong and the artillery is sharp, there is long hair inside and Yingyi outside, I am afraid that this society will ......"

Peng Yunzhang's thoughts are similar to those of Devil Six, Yang Laosan's resume, he has already read it countless times, Yang Laosan has had a long time with Lin Yuanfu in Yunnan, this is where Peng Yunzhang criticized Yang Laosan.

"The second Lin Yuanfu? Wouldn't it be nice? Lin Yuanfu only did the supervision, and it was still early for the military plane!

Although the previous incident arose because of Lin Yuanfu, the crime is not on Lin Yuanfu, if he changes to someone else, even if he is more tactful, I am afraid that it will be inevitable to fight Gengzi!

Yingyi and the Qing Dynasty are separated by oceans, if they really want to do business, can they use so many soldiers and horses?

Master Peng, what do you say about the current situation! In the autumn of life and death, we originally thought that this Yingyi was just a bandit, but we didn't expect him to be the bandit who usurped the country this time!

There are a lot of places where the imperial court needs to rely on Yang Laosan, and there are some things that Master Peng has to let go, but the second Lin Yuanfu is not? ”

Peng Yunzhang's thoughts, Devil Six can also guess a rough idea, don't look at Devil Six's young age, but his ability is not bad, he is different from the four-color stick, he deals with some officialdom people, plus the master teaches well, Devil Six, who is younger than Yang Meng, is not much worse than Yang Meng.

"Thank you for mentioning it!"

Peng Yunzhang thinks about it, he is a little worried, how old is Yang Laosan, let him be the first assistant of this military aircraft, I am afraid that the courtiers will not agree.

"The big picture counts!"

Facing the Yingyi who is eyeing the tiger. The last sentence of Devil Six is also extraordinarily solemn. The survival of the community. Don't take it lightly, there is long hair inside and Yingyi outside, and the next Qing Dynasty will be full of wind and rain!

There is a charter on the side of the court, and Yang Meng has also received an edict here, looking at the content of the edict, Yang Meng knows that the four-color stick attaches great importance to Yingyi, and it is not easy for him to deal with this matter alone. It's not very easy to usurp at this time, and many things need to be sorted out slowly, otherwise it will be to make wedding clothes for others.

Yingyi has ambitions for the Qing Dynasty, but they are really bandits and the like, in supporting the Taiping Army and supporting the Qing court, these two positions, presumably Yingli still has a heart for the Qing court.

After all, the new regimes are all radical, and a radical regime is not good for England. And the decaying and declining Qing Dynasty is undoubtedly an excellent choice.

But the Qing Dynasty was extremely xenophobic. If you want to subdue the Qing Dynasty, it is also a shortcut to support the Taiping Army in advance, but it is a pity that Yingli's first move was recognized by Yang Meng.

For the thieves who stole the country, the Qing Dynasty would not hesitate to fight even if it was weak, and England may still have a backhand, but the time was a little late, and it was not impossible for Yang Meng to take advantage of it.

The news is not clear, the Qing court, for the perception of European and American countries, just take it for granted, this kind of assumption, let the Qing court, ignore the understanding of the national policy of European and American countries, with the existing things, it is inevitable that there will be a war between the two countries, it seems that it is time to drop a bombshell.

"Commander, summarize the affairs of Crimea and report it to the imperial court, and get dozens of newspapers from Western countries that report on the Crimean War, and pick those old goods."

The scale of the Crimean War was unprecedented, the war of nearly two million soldiers in Britain, France and Russia, for the imperial court, such a threat was enough, regardless of whether he had the strength to enter the Qing Dynasty, such a threat of annihilation was enough to make the imperial court desperate.

Today's Oros are powerless to fight in the short term, and their threats have only been verbal in recent years, if Oros can support another national war with the Qing Dynasty, then the outcome of the Crimean War will not be a victory for Britain and France.

After the war, maybe the imperial court will understand Yingji's intentions now, but it was already too late at that time, Yang Meng only asked for the initial support of the imperial court, as long as this battle started, three or two strokes can form a mortal enemy, not to mention a single slaughter of prisoners of war, it is not acceptable to Yingji, this grudge is easy to solve and not to knot, the same reason, the formation of a mortal enemy, ten years and eight years can not be solved.

In the war with the British, it is enough to fight one, and once the British army dares to land in the Qing Dynasty, then wait to be slaughtered! After Yang Meng finished killing, the war between the Qing Dynasty and England had just begun.

Being able to do such a plan is inseparable from the imperial court's policy of closing the country, and the imperial court does not understand the national policy of the West, so the corresponding national policy can only be guided by Yang Meng's intelligence.

And the information given by Yang Meng is extremely one-sided, only talking about the ambition of England, such ambition now seems to be to exterminate the Qing Dynasty, and the court has only two choices, one is to go to war, and the other is to wait for the country to be destroyed.

For the Qing Dynasty, the Manchus attached great importance to it, and many subsequent treaties were to ensure the rule of the Qing Dynasty, and then the Qing Dynasty could sign the treaties that humiliated the country, and now they chose to fight at the expense of war, which is also reasonable.

The scale of the Crimean War, as well as the reports of European and American countries on the Crimean War, not only made the imperial court go to war, but also paid attention to foreign affairs, which was also one of Yang Meng's purposes.

It would be a great thing to open a military port in Shandong or Liaodong, but this matter needs to be planned, and it will not be easy in the near future.

Yang Meng's excerpt arrived in Beijing, and the military planes were shaken, who would have thought that Yingji, who paid tribute to the Qing Dynasty during the Qianlong period, would have the strength of Xu?

Britain and France had more than 600,000 people and defeated 1.2 million people in Tsarist Russia, and 1.2 million people in Tsarist Russia were all equipped with foreign guns and artillery.

Half a million? 600,000? Or 800,000? There are also more than a million people on the roster of the imperial court, but how many people can the imperial court support?

The hundreds of thousands in Jiangnan, the hundreds of thousands in Gyeonggi, plus the elite of the Eight Banners in Liaodong, and the remnants of the green battalion soldiers in the north, as well as the generals stationed in various places, can gather only about 500,000 troops, even if you count cats and dogs.

And the imperial court can't come up with so much money and food to support this war. It is difficult to dispatch people in Jiangnan. Centaurs of the North. It would be good to be able to form an army of 200,000 people.

This battle looks like it can't be fought, but it can't be fought, is it watching Yingyi support the long-haired thief to destroy the Qing Dynasty?

Western newspapers, without Yang Meng to translate the four-color stick, the people of the Li Fan Yuan will naturally translate it, after reading these things, and then compare the Ministry of Rites and the Li Fan Yuan. reported a strange thing, and the four-colored stick couldn't help but be furious!

"Bastard! Yang Meng could get such news from Western sailors, and the people from the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Court got these items?

What foreigners are singles, fighting wars and not afraid of death, this is said in the Gengzi years, let the people of the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Court take these foreign newspapers and go to the foreigners for verification, a bunch of waste! ”

The heart of the four-color stick is also turned upside down. But in front of his ministers, he didn't dare to show it. It seems that Yang Sange is going to be of great use.

"Your Majesty is angry, this Yingyi wolf is ambitious, the imperial court still has to take precautions early, can you ask Yang Butang how to deal with it?"

Seeing Yang Meng's threat at sea, Peng Yunzhang is also a strong scalp numb, Yingyi's ambition is too big, first to annex Tsarist Russia, annex Tsarist Russia failed, turn to attack the Qing Dynasty, these 600,000 British and French troops, but how to deal with it?

"Ask! Hurry up and ask! This matter must be suppressed, there is no such thing when you leave the military aircraft department! ”

The matter is big, once the ministers of the government and the opposition know that Yingyi is a big threat, it will definitely shake the rule of the Qing Dynasty, and a group of military planes and four-color sticks have the same idea, and decide to rot this matter in their stomachs for the time being, otherwise everyone will think of danger, I am afraid that it will endanger the gangsters in Jiangnan!

Mo said that hundreds of thousands of troops equipped with foreign guns and foreign artillery, and now in this situation, even tens of thousands of heroes can make the court extremely embarrassed, just one Anqing, thousands of foreign guns, let the second army of Hunan and Chu stop the pace, some things, it seems that they have to prepare in advance.

After Yang Meng's edict to the imperial court to consult the defense came, Yang Meng did not reply as soon as possible, but asked Zuo Jigao and Zeng Disheng to each have an excerpt about the difference between foreign guns, foreign cannons, and the fire of the Qing Dynasty.

Anqing is the best testing ground, the early cold weapons, the early return artillery, the middle of the foreign guns, foreign cannons, flowering shells, whether it is Zuo Jigao or Zeng Disheng, Zeng Laojiu, this period of time have a new understanding of foreign guns, foreign artillery.

Not to mention anything else, a mortar cannon used for siege, the Qing Dynasty used stone bullets and iron eggs, and the foreigners used flowering bullets, how powerful the flowering bomb is, Zeng Laojiu and Zuo Jigao have personally experienced it.

The two also personally asked the craftsman to imitate the Western flowering bomb, but the power of the soil medicine and the granular medicine was much different. The flowering bombs from Yunnan, even if the quality is a little biased, can blow up more than a dozen pieces, and the two of them made it, one blow up eight petals is the best, most of the imitation things, can only be blown in half, scaring people.

After Zeng Zuo's excerpt, it is Yang Meng's excerpt of Haiphong, and there is only one place to consolidate Haiphong, which is close to Tianjinwei in Gyeonggi.

In terms of the financial resources of the imperial court, consolidating one Tianjin Wei will be stretched, and consolidating other boundaries is a good idea, but it can only be thought about.

Along with the excerpts, there are also some casting drawings and comparisons of giant cannons, these giant cannons, the technical requirements are not high, and the craftsmen of the Ministry of Engineering should be barely able to make them.

And Gong Zhenlin's iron mold casting cannon method was also handed over by Yang Meng, this iron mold casting cannon is a time-saving and labor-saving method, although the quality of the cast cannon is not very good, but it is barely usable.

The most important thing about this iron mold casting cannon is that it is fast, as long as the iron material is sufficient, it will take three or five months to cast thousands of usable small and medium-sized guns, which is still easy.

These methods of casting cannons, even the method of smelting iron with Xishan, were sent to the Beijing Division by Yang Meng along with the excerpts, and there was no need to conceal these things at all.

In the imperial court, I'm afraid there are still some good ways to make cannons, right? It's just buried in the pile of old papers, such books, the court has destroyed countless times, no matter how good the method is in the hands of the court, it is just an emergency, once the crisis is over, these things, I'm afraid they will be shelved again.

Yang Meng's plan is very practical for the imperial court, and those Western artillery drawings that have been collected can also witness his heart of serving the country with his fists.

Coal kilns, iron furnaces, artillery factories, and military fortifications are under construction one by one, and with the heat of Tianjin Wei, the safety of Gyeonggi has been guaranteed, and the fighting spirit of the court against Yangyi has also been brought up by a series of good news from Tianjin Wei.

Of course, this matter is so simple, with Yang Laosan's artillery, iron furnace, and barracks drawings, the court began to despise foreigners again.

Thinking about the rapid casting method, thinking about the fortress that the artillery can't penetrate, what can the foreigner ship do with the artillery? If they can't get ashore, they can float in the sea.

These things provided by Yang Meng, to be honest, really don't have a big effect on defense, but bigger and more psychological, and then the impact on himself, with these things, Yang Laosan has become the first person in foreign affairs in the Qing Dynasty, whether it is military affairs or government affairs! Asking Yang Laosan for advice has become a common idea in the court. (To be continued......)
