Chapter 71: The Empire's Expedition

This was a combined fleet composed of Britain, Germany, the United States, Italy, Austria, the Netherlands, and Russia, France was fighting a fierce battle with the Black Flag Army in Annam at this time, and could not get out, and Japan was seeking an opportunity for a decisive battle with the Beiyang Naval Division in the East China Sea, and did not participate, except for France and Japan, the European columns emphasized all their military forces in the Far East.

The Far Eastern military forces of the European powers formed a combined fleet, and they came straight to Guangdong.

Is the foreigner's revenge so strong?

The background of the captain of the rice country who was humiliated by Yang Lie is so strong?

Can he say that the European powers will form a combined fleet?

Of course not, it's all because of interests!

The guns of the European powers opened the door of the Qing Dynasty, making the Qing Dynasty gradually degenerate into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, and a large number of cheap goods in Europe poured into the territory of the Qing Dynasty, carrying a large amount of silver, but this is still the largest profit of tobacco!

The Far East is the largest dissipation place for the European powers, especially the Eagle State.

Yang Lie did not touch the interests of the great powers in terms of tobacco land, nor did he ban smoking in Foshan, Guangdong, because Yang Lie knew that he couldn't help it at all, and he could only ban the land of Foshan, a drop in the bucket, so Yang Lie didn't ban it at all, but he did something more frustrating than banning smoking.

Yang Lie scattered the real people of the Nine Palaces, Chaotianguan was only the main altar of the White Lotus Sect, Guangzhou was full of the White Lotus Sect's branch altars, with the White Lotus Sect branch altar as a base, Yang Lie scattered a large number of silver bars, and began to buy a large amount of tobacco at a price two to three times higher than the market price, and for a while, a large amount of tobacco in Guangzhou began to gather in Yang Lie's hands.

When Yang Lie had a large amount of tobacco soil in his hands, Yang Lie began to purify the tobacco soil, how to purify it? Have you seen "Breaking Bad"......

After purifying the tobacco soil, it was then packaged, packaged into the shape of a cigarette, and then added a filter, Yang Lie named it Yinluohai, and finally began to sell it at ten times the price of the tobacco clay, and it was strictly forbidden to prevent the use of Chinese people with heavy punishments.

The first stop of Yinluohai was the Wa Kingdom, which caused a sensation when it first appeared, with its exquisite packaging, aristocratic elegance and strong hallucinogenic ...... It has aroused the popularity of everyone.

Yang Lie originally thought that it would be like the Eagle Kingdom corrupting the Qing Dynasty, quietly corroding the Wa Kingdom, but Yang Lie ignored the businessman's keen sense of smell.

How can such a huge profit be monopolized by Yang Lie?

The captain of the merchant ship of the United States, who was doing business in Guangzhou, captured this business opportunity with his keen sense of smell by observing the price fluctuations of tobacco soil, as well as the abnormal behavior of the White Lotus Sect's branches in various parts of the country to purchase a large amount of tobacco soil.

In the end, the merchant shipowner of the United States targeted Foshan and Yang Lie, and the merchant ship owner of the United States recruited some retired soldiers, and then came to Foshan with great momentum.

After arriving in Foshan, the owner of the merchant ship of the United States originally wanted to attract Yang Lie out by making trouble with the sailors, and then catch Yang Lie and force him to hand over the purification process before killing him. Unexpectedly, he guessed the premise, but not the ending.

The foreigner sailors made trouble, and they did provoke Yang Lie, but they didn't catch Yang Lie, but they were killed by Yang Lie's retired soldiers who recruited the merchant captain of the United States like chopping melons and vegetables.

The foreigner merchant ship owner came to his senses, he was careless, and he came up recklessly without knowing the details of Yang Lie, and as a result, he hit his head and bled out.

The first thing the foreigner merchant ship owner did after escaping was to secretly send someone to infiltrate Foshan and Guangdong to find out Yang Lie's details, and Nalan Yuanshu also intentionally or unintentionally leaked some of Yang Lie's details, such as the number of troops, weapons and equipment, etc., of course, the information spread by Nalan Yuanshu was very vague and somewhat plausible, but this also made the captain of the Mi country merchant ship startled.

Good guys, more than 30,000 troops, and all armed with muskets, and artillery.

The merchant ship owner pondered for a long time, and found that he really couldn't take Yang Lie with his own strength, and he was able to recruit an army of one hundred and eighty people, but this person was not enough for Yang Lie to stuff his teeth, and the rice country at this time was an emerging country, barely stepping into the ranks of the great powers, but the military strength of the rice country in the Far East was almost zero.

If you want to transfer troops from the United States mainland, not to mention whether you can persuade the Congress to send a fleet to the Far East, you can't stand this time alone, and most of the time will pass, and how much money will you have to lose. It is also unrealistic to put pressure on the Qing government, the Qing officials have no other skills, and their ability to rip off skin is the best in the world, not to mention such a glittering avenue, how can the greedy Qing government know.

After thinking about it for a long time, in desperation, the merchant ship owner of the United States went to find the people of the Eagle Country, after all, the United States and the Eagle Country are separated by water, and the Eagle Country has the strongest military power in the Far East.

There are no eternal friends or enemies between nations, only eternal interests. When the Governor of the Far East of the Great Eagle Empire saw the Yinluohai cigarettes handed over by the merchant ship owner of the rice country, he was shocked.

Just such a small thing, it is actually equated with gold that weighs ten times the same weight, which can no longer be described as huge profits, and grabbing money is not as fast as it.

The two hit it off, and the Great Eagle Empire's Far East Fleet began to mobilize, and as soon as the Great Eagle Empire's Far East Fleet was mobilized, it immediately attracted the attention of France, Germany, Russia and other countries, after all, there has been no war in the Far East for many years, and the wind and waves have been calm for a long time.

This abnormal phenomenon attracted the attention of the great powers, so various countries sent spies to investigate, and after staging a scene of spies and spies, they learned the truth of the matter.

Of course, the benefits cannot be left to the Eagle and Mi families, and after a series of crowded negotiations, coercion, and so on, the governor of the Great Eagle Empire agreed to carve up this glittering golden avenue.

Why would the Great Eagle Empire, which has the strongest military power in the Far East, agree to the requests of various countries, it is very simple, or because of the word interests, the interests of the Great Eagle Empire have not been affected, after all, the market is large enough, and the Great Eagle Empire has many colonies in the world, and has the most land suitable for growing tobacco......

As for Yang Lie, the Governor of the Great Eagle Empire in the Far East directly ignored it, and the coalition of the great powers did not care, even if the merchant ship owner of the United States repeatedly emphasized that Yang Lie's strength was very strong, the Governor of the Great Eagle Empire in the Far East simply ignored it.

The Great Eagle Empire of this era was indeed very strong, and the whole world trembled in its shadow, Yang Lie of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he sneered, an indigenous warlord.

And the Great Eagle Empire prides itself on being synonymous with a gentleman, but at the same time it is synonymous with stubbornness, and the words of the merchant ship owner of the rice country will not enter his ears at all, even if the indigenous Yang Lie is stronger, is it stronger than the Great Eagle Empire, not to mention the armies of various countries.

In this way, the combined fleet, headed by the Far East Fleet of the Great Eagle Empire and supplemented by the Far East Fleets of the European powers, headed towards the Great Qing Dynasty.

At the same time, Yang Lie's harbor had been built and a modern fleet had been quietly released......
