"All the people are from here?"

Zhu Daohua was noncommittal.

Of course, he had no experience in rebellion.

In his previous life, he was a seafarer and a doctor.

I never thought that I would one day become a rebel of the Qing Dynasty.

And this trip to Europe.

He had signed many treaties with Britain, France, and Germany.

Open markets, embassies and the like.

If these treaties were to circulate, they would have to be labeled as the number one leading party - with the support of Britain, France, Germany and other European powers, they would go to trouble the Qing Dynasty, which was not what the leading party was.

"My lord is worried about the treaties with Britain and France?"

Gu Wanqing smiled slightly and asked.

Zhu Daohua pursed his lips: "We don't have a piece of soil under our feet now, how can we talk about fulfilling the contract?" ”

These treaties could only be fulfilled after Zhu Daohua was able to obtain one or two provinces.

But when that time comes.

Whether or not these treaties will be implemented depends on the situation at the time.

According to Zhu Daohua's estimate.

It doesn't take much.

As long as he can get Guangdong Province.

With Guangdong's manpower and material resources.

It would be enough to wrestle with any European power - not to mention, it is now very difficult for European countries to send troops to the Eastern Celestial Empire.

Thousands of miles by sea.

No kidding.

Now think about it.

That is, in the case of the other side's labor expedition, there is no fundamental generation difference in weapons and weapons.

The Qing Dynasty was defeated in the Opium War.

It's just unbelievable.

But then.... It seems that it is relatively easy to rebel against the Qing Dynasty.

"Moreover, the treaties that were signed were meant to be torn up."

Zhu Daohua did not take these treaties seriously.

He was well aware that there was now no power for the European countries to project to the East.

The Bourbon dynasty in France was too busy to take care of itself, and Louis XVI would be guillotined by the people of Paris in a few years.

Britain, for its part, is also facing pressure from the Americans in North America.

They certainly could not prevent American independence.

Keeping Canada is the bottom line for the UK.

As for Germany... Well, there is no one united Germany now.

There is a country called the "German Holy Roman Empire".

The country is neither sacred, nor Roman, nor imperial.

It will take more than half a century for German reunification to be achieved.

Now the most powerful country in the German region is Prussia.

Neither Britain nor France had the strength to project to the east for the time being, and Prussia was even less powerful.

Therefore, Zhu Daohua signed these treaties and had no intention of fulfilling them at all.

Open trade?

No way!

Even if Zhu Daohua gets Guangdong Province, it is impossible to open up trade.

There can be no free trade in this era.

Everyone is practicing trade protectionism.

Mowing the land?

I want to eat it.

Zhu Daohua took a deep breath.

Even if you are ready in your heart.

But when you really start to get home.

He was still a little apprehensive.

"Don't worry, the emperor, each of our more than 300 brothers has studied in the military academy of Westerners, in addition to three thousand Swiss mercenaries, with these horses in hand, it is easy to gain a foothold in Nanyang first!"

Zhao Si patted the short-barreled fire gun on his waist and said.

"After all, mercenaries are not of our race, and after arriving in Nanyang, the first thing to do is to expand the army!"

Zhu Daohua's fingers tapped slightly on the side of the boat.

In fact.

Although the current Nanyang is the most powerful with the Dutch.

But the Chinese are not small.

In fact, if the Nanyang Chinese forces can get the support of the local government.

Neither the Dutch nor the Spaniards could compete with the close Chinese power.

Now in a situation where there is no support from the native government at all.

The Chinese were still able to occupy a place in the South Seas.

There are many more people than the Dutch.

Therefore.

Zhu Daohua's original plan was to gain a foothold in Nanyang first.

Train an army.

and then plotted to go north.

"My lord, there are many Chinese pirates in Nanyang, but most of them are clinging to the influence of the Dutch to survive, and the only Chinese who can have a little autonomy is Lan Fangguo."

"There are a large number of Chinese in Nanyang, but they are all mud and sand, and they are scattered, even this Lanfang country, and it is just a few big families in Jiaying Prefecture holding each other..."

Speaking of this, Gu Song couldn't help but shake his head again and again.

If the Chinese in Nanyang had a leader who could twist the strength of the Chinese into a rope, the strength of the Dutch would not be enough at all.

But alas....

"A plate of loose sand is good, a plate of loose sand is just conducive to integration! Emperor, with three hundred old brothers as officers, it will be enough to expand tens of thousands of troops in a short period of time! ”

Zhao Si said with a smile.

Gu Song also showed a smile on his face.

Zhu Daohua had 300 officers under him who were familiar with the Western art of war.

As long as you have money, you can immediately recruit soldiers and horses, and more than 10,000 troops are at your fingertips.

Why worry about big things?

"It's not difficult to train soldiers." Zhu Daohua waved his hand and said.

It's really not that hard.

Dao Huaxing relies on H; Y, the "fist product" (in this era, opium was used as medicine), and the business of Daohua Trading House was done all over Europe.

Before leaving Europe.

Zhu Daohua remembered the agency rights in Europe and North America and sold them separately.

The European agency fee is £1,000,000 per annum.

The North American agency fee is £500,000 per annum.

Moreover, if Zhu Daohua wants, he can also get an agency fee of two million pounds a year in the east, a vast area that includes India and the Qing Dynasty.

It's just that Zhu Daohua only took the agency in Europe and North America for the time being.

This agency fee is actually not very high, if it is operated by Daohua Commercial Bank, it will definitely be able to grab more profits from these two markets.

However, Zhu Daohua also knows it.

If you leave Europe.

It is impossible to continue the business of remote control in Europe.

It's better to sell it to a local snake.

Agency fee of 1.5 million per year.

A lump sum payment of five years.

That's £7.5 million!

That's a great asset in this day and age.

At the current price of the pound against silver.

One pound is worth three taels of silver

Seven and a half million pounds is more than 20 million taels of silver!

And this is only an agency fee, Zhu Daohua also retains the production department in Europe, that is to say, as long as Zhu Daohua's relations with European countries can be maintained, he can continue to obtain a huge amount of wealth from Europe in the short term.

Of course, the purchasing power of silver in Europe was different from that in the Qing Dynasty.

At least.....

It is impossible for Zhu Daohua to really return to China from Europe with more than 20 million taels of silver - this is too wasteful.

In addition to keeping some of the cash.

All this wealth was exchanged for goods and... Talent.

All kinds of mechanical equipment, machine tools.

Directly pay a lot of money to poach people from various universities, and poach skilled craftsmen from factories.

Europeans in this era were still quite adventurous.

Just be willing to give money.

Don't worry about digging people.

Arguably.

Rebels throughout the ages.

I'm afraid there is no richer than Lao Zhu......

"My lord, Monsieur Kant, Major Bonaparte, the British envoy, the French envoy are here."

Just when Zhu Daohua was thinking about where to get a piece of land and transform the machinery and equipment and talents he brought back from Europe into real productivity.

Daohua Commercial Bank's big bank Qian Heng came quickly.

said beside Zhu Daohua.

As he spoke.

There was a sound of footsteps.

Several whites took to the deck.

A smile appeared on Zhu Daohua's face.

To talk about talent.

This Mr. Kant.

And this Major Bonaparte ...

This is the real talent!
