Chapter 232: The Republic of Lanfang and Hongmen
Early the next morning, according to Meng Chen's instructions, Su Can rushed to the Russian and German areas of the public concession to discuss the trade of arms.
These intentions have already been reached, and they just need to be confirmed.
The Russians were atmospheric and supplied a large amount of weapons, mainly ten Golov machine guns and a thousand rifles, as well as forty-five thousand rounds of various ammunition.
The so-called Golov machine gun is actually a variant of the "Gatling", an imitation of the early Gatling.
The Germans only traded Su Can for 500 rifles and 10,000 rounds of ammunition.
In the end, Su Can and the two parties agreed that they would secretly deliver the goods after ten days.
......
Leaving the public concession area, Su Can went to the planned auction house to take a look.
The beggars' disciples who are close to him are directing the manpower to rebuild and rebuild, and it should be put into use soon.
He had already asked his subordinates to do the matter of purchasing the medicinal materials needed for the Body Refining Soup.
And just last night, on this side of the earth, Meng Chen had already gone to the company, took out half a basin of the body refining soup concentrate used in the last process, and then sent it to Su Can.
The amount of this process is very small, half a plate of liquid medicine is enough for Su Can to mix with other liquid medicines, and then use all the disciples of his beggar gang.
In a room in the auction house, Su Can contacted Meng Chen and reported the progress of various things.
"Well done. ”
Meng Chen, who was in the training ground, nodded slightly.
"Cousin, you said that we will secretly trade arms with the Russians and Germans now, will it be a little too early? I always feel that I have no bottom in my heart......
After saying all kinds of things, Su Can couldn't help but send a reply again.
"It's fine. ”
Meng Chen smiled, then stood up and entered the study on the second floor.
turned on the computer and sent the materials that had been prepared to Su Can.
"Outline of the Republic of Lanfang. ”
"Outline of Hongmen at the end of the Qing Dynasty. ”
"Principles and uses of various firearms in the 19th century. ”
A total of three pieces of information.
......
The "Lanfang Republic" in the first document is a real Chinese country in history.
Located in Borneo in Southeast Asia, it had a population of millions at its peak and an area of 10 bay islands, or 700 the size of Singapore.
The Republic of Lanfang was founded in 1776, almost the same time as the United States Commonwealth.
This kingdom is mainly composed of the anti-Qing righteous soldiers in the early Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty army that fled to Southeast Asia in defeat, and the descendants of the Chinese who fled the war.
After the establishment of the Lanfang Kingdom, the Qing court had reached the Qianlong period, and its dominance had been completely consolidated.
It was the first generation of the general system of the Lanfang Kingdom, and the Tang Hakka (meaning the head of the Chinese living in a foreign land), in fact, was the head of state, and expressed his intention to the Qing court, and was willing to lead more than one million people and more than 100,000 square kilometers of land at the beginning of the founding of the country to become the overseas territory of the Qing State.
However, Emperor Qianlong, who had always been bullish, categorically rejected Lan Fangguo's request, believing that Lan Fangguo was a pirate nest and was not qualified to be incorporated into the Qing Dynasty.
However, Lan Fangguo still regarded himself as a vassal state of China, and never gave up the idea of seeking his roots and returning to the country.
In the end, the Qing court only agreed to trade with Lan Fangguo.
As far as Su Can's era is concerned, the current Lanfang Kingdom is being attacked by the Dutch and is in the midst of war.
If the historical trajectory develops, Lan Fang will be defeated by the Dutch more than a year later, that is, in 1888.
As for the "Hongmen", it is actually Wan Yunlong, the "Heaven and Earth Society" established by Chen Jinnan!
Hongmen has always existed, but later many branches have emerged, and they continue to oppose the Qing court openly and covertly.
"The principle and use of firearms" is naturally convenient for Su Can to act later.
......
After receiving the three information, Su Can quickly sent a reply.
"Cousin...... Does this Lan Fang country really exist, and what should we do?"
"You don't have to do anything for the time being, you send someone to inquire first, and see if anyone in the Demon Capital has ever been to Lanfang Country, or if there are any citizens of Lanfang Country who have fled to the Demon Capital. Let's look for a few guides first. ”
Meng Chen said.
“...... Cousin, do you want to fight the Dutch? I'm not the richest man in the world, so you're going to let me go to war?"
Su Can was taken aback.
"I won't let you go to war...... Later, you will send someone to escort the guns you got from the Russians and Germans to the South Seas, and see if you can help Lan Fangguo repel the Dutch, or at least stabilize the situation. ”
Meng Chen frowned.
“...... Okay, and this Hongmen, am I going to contact them?"
Su Can was silent for a long time before he sent a reply again.
"Hongmen doesn't need it for the time being, you can ask the big sword king five, he is a dart game, well-informed, he should know some things about Hongmen. ”
Meng Chen said.
"Well, then I got my cousin...... When are we going to start selling diamonds again to make money?"
Su Can asked instead.
"Wait a few days and see how the foreigners react. They exchanged so many 'sub-diamonds', they wouldn't just just sit and watch...... Let's do this first, when you are okay these days, continue to cultivate to the Yang Jue, and if you improve your strength a little more, you will be safer. If you have more money, remember to be self-reliant, and your cousin can't cover you all the time!"
Meng Chen finally said.
"Oh...... I got my cousin. ”
Su Can replied.
Meng Chen didn't say anything more, and directly closed the spirit interface.
......
During this time, there were actually a lot of things on his side.
After Chenling Biotech obtained the shares of Wutou and Huatou, its production capacity expanded extremely rapidly, and it has now reached the scale of producing more than 800,000 sets of refining body soup concentrate per month.
In addition, the affairs of the Gutanling Industrial Base and the Medicinal Material Planting Base are also progressing extremely rapidly.
Although there are Wutou and Huatou behind it, there are also a lot of things in various operations, if it weren't for Ning Ling, Meng Chen would not have been able to do anything at all, so he could only devote himself to the company.
He met with Ning Ling two days ago, Ning Ling was a lot haggard, and he was obviously busy until late every day.
Meng Chen had secretly handed over the Yuan Spirit Water and the Alchemy Technique to Ning Ling, but she could hardly spare time to cultivate.
In addition, there has also been some progress in the acquisition of military enterprises and film and television companies.
Ning Ling has already identified two military enterprises and three film and television companies that are interested in selling.
Meng Chen and Ning Ling had visited the two companies together before, and they were quite satisfied, but they were still negotiating in terms of details.
As for the film and television company, Meng Chen decided to put it back for a while, and he didn't have time to pay attention to it for the time being.
......
Among the other worlds, in the current Three Kingdoms World, Pan Feng is still suppressing the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou.
It's not that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban is too difficult to exterminate, but that Pan Feng doesn't want to expose his strength so quickly, and is ready to develop with peace of mind for a while.
In the Water Margin world, Wu Da has now become a celebrity in the capital, with superb medical skills and strong force, coupled with the fire of Zhurong, the voice of heaven, and the rarity of the super invincible thunderbolt light bead, which makes him prosperous in the capital. Every day, he fights with Cai Jing, Gao Yu, Tong Guan and a group of powerful ministers, and the courtiers are hot.
Even, just a few days ago, Wuda also got the permission of Zhao Ji of Song Huizong to treat a favorite concubine in the palace......
This makes Wu Da feel that he is a little out of play, isn't he going to enter the Taiyi Bureau in the future?
Meng Chen naturally didn't worry about this matter, so he let him play by himself.
Talking about the world, Nie Qian is still cultivating, but she feels that she is not far from condensing her physical body.
In the ancient world, Chen Manqing's development is very fast, and "housing for the elderly" is underway, and it has received enthusiastic responses from the people of Huercheng and the strong people who moved from Zhongzhou.
The big bald head of the Blood Exchange Realm has successfully built the Qinglong Knife and Gentian Spear that Meng Chen requested. But Meng Chen didn't bother the two masters here, so he simply asked Chen Manqing to take out the materials, and let the big bald head help him and Chitu each create a set of armor with strong defense and relatively light weight.
In the late Ming Dynasty, Chen Yuan and Caiyijun have been cultivating.
In the Chu and Han worlds, Zhao Zheng had already introduced the "Witch Spirit Asking Mind Technique", temporarily limiting Bai Qi's resurrection speed.
In the dimensional world where my sister is, there is still no news coming again. In the counties and cities in the Luoshi area, Meng Chen took the time to run and transmitted all the "data flow energy" he could collect to his sister.
During this time, he found that it seemed that all computers could only collect energy once.
In general, the other seven worlds are quite stable, and now it is Su Can's plan that is the most urgent.
After thinking about it, Meng Chen decided to speed up the first step plan of the late Qing Dynasty world again, and start the second step plan that was closely related to him as soon as possible.
