"Xu Jie, where do you want to take me Beiyang? Just 500,000 taels of silver to let others use Beiyang as a gunman? As soon as Peng Haifeng and the others left with their front feet, Zhang Peilun yelled at Xu Jie with their back feet. Once this honest man gets angry, don't say it, it's amazing.

"As for it? Isn't it just a trip to Nanyang? Xu Jie said with a smile.

"A trip? Hongmaozi wants to do something to the Chinese, and my Beiyang fleet has passed, who still doesn't understand this? In this way, it is obvious that the gun may go wrong, and in the end, things will become out of control. Zhang Peilun looked at Xu Jie and became more and more angry. He really didn't expect that Xu Jie, who had just arrived, would be so bold!

"Don't worry, the red hairs won't dare to do it." Xu Jie's face changed slightly.

"Don't dare to do it? What if you do it? Are you sure you'll win? Although the Dutch fleet is not strong, after all, there are still batteries, and the Beiyang fleet is thousands of miles away to supply without support, how will you let Beiyang end?? Zhang Peilun stomped his feet angrily as he spoke.

"Do you know what war is?" Xu Jie asked.

"Uh, what's war?" Zhang Peilun was stunned for a moment.

"The last resort to solve the political problem in time of war. No one will choose war unless it is absolutely necessary. My Beiyang fleet went to the South Seas just to tell the Dutch authorities not to go too far, that's all. Xu Jie explained.

"Then what does it mean for the Dutch to ignore Beiyang?" Zhang Peilun asked rhetorically. ，

"Unless the Dutch governor is a fool." Xu Jie said unceremoniously. "He also didn't dare to start a war lightly. And our requirements are low. It's just to fight for a relatively relaxed living space for the Chinese. ”

"So what are you doing this for? Money? Even if the Beiyang Fleet does not move, the Nanyang Chinese can still come to our Beiyang to invest and start a business. Zhang Peilun said.

"Money is only one aspect. After all, everyone is a descendant of Yan and Huang. Why don't you do this kind of thing with little risk and big benefit? Xu Jie asked. We need the help of Chinese people all over the world, and we need to unite people who can be united, and this requires our Beiyang to pay. If we can help the Nanyang Chinese escape this catastrophe this time, then our Beiyang and Huai families will not be fighting alone. ”

"It is even said that as long as our Beiyang fleet appears in the port of Batavia, we will already be one with the overseas Chinese in the South Seas. From now on, we will be in solidarity. Xu Jie said earnestly.

"And how are you going to do it?" Zhang Peilun couldn't convince Xu Jie at first glance, so he had to change the topic for the time being.

"First of all, I have to convince Lord Zhongtang, I have already asked Mr. Peng to contact Lord Xue Fucheng, if you can convince Lord Xue, plus a certain amount of financial support, I think Li Zhongtang doesn't mind letting the Beiyang Fleet go to Batavia for a turn." Xu Jie thought for a while and said.

"Can this Peng Haifeng still contact Master Xue?" Zhang Peilun said in surprise.

"He's naturally a little worse, but if it represents Mr. Zhang Zhenxun, I think Lord Xue will intercede for the Nanyang Chinese, first, the two have a good relationship, and secondly, this matter is of great benefit to both me Beiyang and my Chinese living overseas. What's more, this can be mistaken for part of the annual cruises in the North Seas. The center, the naval yamen will not interfere. Li Zhongtang can feel it for himself. If you don't know about it, you can just inform the alcohol king. In the name of training, no one can find fault. Xu Jie gradually formed a complete plan in his mind.

"Then how many ships do I need to send to Beiyang?" Zhang Peilun asked.

"This town is a must-come. Find 2 more cruisers and bring the training ship Caojiang with you. If you can, bring another 500 Army. Xu Jie said.

"You have directly transferred more than half of my Beiyang combat power." Zhang Peilun's surprised eyes widened.

"Since it's a threat, it's natural to spend a lot of money. Only the more afraid the other party, the safer we are. Xu Jie said categorically.

"I'm afraid that Lord Nakado won't agree with you." Zhang Peilun shook his head.

"As long as the commission is sufficient, there is no reason for Beiyang not to agree," Xu Jie said calmly.

"How much are you going to get?" Zhang Peilun asked.

"Beiyang's one-year fund!!" Xu Jie's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness.

"You've really marked the price of anything in the Beiyang!!" Zhang Peilun snorted coldly and said.

"What's not to do? In my Xu Jie, in addition to being a person's personality and country, you can't sell anything else, as long as you can afford the price, you can do it. Xu Jie fearlessly met Zhang Peilun's disdainful gaze and said. …,

"You Xu Jie write this excerpt yourself, I, Zhang Peilun, will never second!!" Seeing that Xu Jie didn't enter, Zhang Peilun turned his head and left the house, leaving Xu Jie alone in the room sighing.

In the early morning of the next day, when Xu Jie rushed to the telegraph room with the telegram copy he had prepared, he happened to meet Peng Haifeng and Chen Ming, who had just come out of it.

"I caused trouble for Mr. Xu last night." Peng Haifeng said embarrassedly.

"What's the trouble, have you got in touch with Lord Xue?" Xu Jie asked.

"I have already contacted Mr. Zhang Zhenxun, and he will send people in Europe to contact Master Xue." Peng Haifeng said. "What is Mr. Xu doing here?"

"Now that you've started to act, I'm not going to do something, I'm afraid I can't live up to the 500,000 taels of silver last night, right?" Xu Jie joked.

"Can you let someone Peng take a look?" Peng Haifeng said.

"Yes, take a step to speak." Xu Jie agreed very happily.

"This Lord Zhang seems to have a great opinion on the Beiyang Sailors cruising in the South Seas." After reading the telegram, Peng Haifeng handed the telegram to Chen Ming on the side.

"Isn't that nonsense?" Xu Jie said in his heart.

Looking at Xu Jie, who was silent, Peng Haifeng glanced at Chen Ming. Chen Ming nodded. Then Peng Haifeng took the message and directly added a few words to the end. handed it to Xu Jie.

"Ugh. No way? Seeing these words, Xu Jie suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. On the day when the Beiyang Fleet cruises the Nanyang, the second commission of 500,000 taels of silver will be received by our Nanyang Chinese. The final total will not be less than the annual fund of Beiyang. ”

"Well, how's that?" Xu Jie, who has always made money and never bargained, was also a little embarrassed.

"I just want to tell Mr. Xu, on the face of everyone with the same text, and I hope that adults will do their best." Peng Haifeng turned around and left the telegraph office.

"How do I contact Mr. Peng?" Looking at Peng Haifeng, who was about to walk out of the door, Xu Jie shouted.

"The distance between me and Lord Xu will not exceed 2 kilometers." Peng Haifeng looked back and said with a weird smile.

"What a joke." Xu Jie muttered quietly, and then went to shoot his telegram.

An hour later, Xu Jie and his entourage had already left the port by Zhiyuan. Just when Xu Jie was talking to Zhang Peilun and the others about the details of his meeting with Peng Haifeng just now, suddenly the lookout on the mast shouted: "My lord, there is a boat following us behind." There is also a word written on the flag hanging from the mast. ”

"What person, what words are written?" Deng Shichang asked vigilantly.

"It seems to be Peng." A water warrior said.

"This NM is too tyrant." Xu Jie was stunned for a while, and then whispered while wiping his sweat.

"What's the situation?" Zhang Peilun and Deng Shichang asked.

"The guy who came to me yesterday followed." Xu Jie pointed to the steamer not far away and said.......
