"If you do this, it will cause a large-scale war!"

After hearing Yang Meng's threat, Old Jack was not moved and spoke up to a large-scale war.

"War? Are you already ready in the Messe? War? Can you afford the price?"

Compared with the Qing Dynasty, the country we are in is just a small country. How much loss do you plan to pay when we go to war with the Qing Dynasty and enter Yunnan?

Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions?

In Meisai, I have arranged a big meal for you. Both sides will try each other and see what their background is. You will decide whether to start a war!"

Sure enough, when Yang Meng mentioned the word "Messe", Old Jack's expression changed. The trump card that he wanted to catch the Qing court off guard was exposed. This was definitely a defeat before the battle.

Old Jack was not a member of the army. He was a relatively familiar with the situation in Asia. The Qing Dynasty was different from India. Although he was in decline, he was still a centralized empire.

Twenty years ago, in order to compete for control of Myanmar, the British army paid more than 15,000 casualties and launched a national war with the Qing Dynasty. The government would never support it.

Just as Lord Yang said, England can still accept the loss of tens of thousands of people. After all, the Qing Dynasty was a huge empire, and England can still afford the price of tens of thousands of people.

But what if it is hundreds of thousands? The English army has only 200,000 in total. On land, most senior executives are not optimistic about such wars.

When the Qing government was forced to sign the Treaty of Jiangning in 1842, English Geely was also nervous. Otherwise, how could there be a clause that would be evenly shared in the treaty?

Originally, the business situation of the empire in the Qing Dynasty was very good. Every year, there was a large amount of gold and silver, flowing from the distant Eastern empire, like a river to the country where the sun never set. However, the emergence of clouds and smoke in recent years has changed this good situation.

Yunyan, an inconspicuous thing, became popular in the empire in just a few years. In the past two years, many people have begun to question Yunyan's formula, but they can't stop using it. This is much more powerful than tea and porcelain.

Some even made a more terrifying statement that the empire would be controlled by Yunyan's producers. In Old Jack's view, this was just an alarmist statement, but the increasing trade deficit was an urgent problem.

A declining empire has increasingly powerful economic strength, which is definitely a huge threat to England's layout in Asia.

Although Yunyan did not seize a large amount of gold and silver from England, a large amount of guns and machinery were flowing from the East India Company to this Eastern Empire, which was not allowed by the British government.

Ten or twenty years later, what if the Eastern Empire rises again, how will the empire open up this huge market?

Obtaining the recipe for Yunyan was the purpose of Old Jack's trip. It can be seen that Lord Yang, the producer of Yunyan, had a very bad idea in Old Jack's heart.

This so-called lord has a very understanding of the international situation, has too strict control over the Yunnan border, and has a very accurate judgment on the military situation. After looking at the face of Lord Yang, Old Jack is sure that he will never be over thirty years old!

This is wise and wise among the Qing people, and for the empire, it is also an increasingly powerful enemy. With Yunyan's sharp economic weapon in hand, how much damage can this Lord Yang cause to the empire?

What worries Old Jack even more is that he learned from various channels that Yunyan's sales in Miligan are much greater than that in the empire, and the largest number of goods in Yunyan's transactions are arms and machinery.

Although some people in the empire also wanted to curb such a situation through exchanges with Miligan, Miligan is no longer a colony of the empire, and the relationship between the two countries is not very harmonious. Compared with the huge commercial profits, the persuasiveness of politicians is so weak that it can be ignored.

The so-called temptation is just a saying of going to war in part. It seems that Lord Yang is full of confidence!

"Test? This is the war. Did the Qing government allow you to do this?"

Yang Meng's status is his biggest flaw, and Old Jack also keenly grasped this point. After all, a small lord cannot represent a government.

"The court? What if the court doesn't know? The war between us will become bigger and bigger, and the court will eventually have no choice but to join the war. You don't have to worry about me. I have the ability to bring the court into this war!

Old Jack, I want to tell you another thing, we are not negotiating, I just tell you what is going to happen!"

Yang Meng also saw the expression of Old Jack. From his complicated expression, Yang Meng was also guessing how well he understood the situation and how long he considered it, he thought about it, but Yang Meng couldn't guess what level he had reached.

"Is it Miligan who supports you behind your back?"

Yang Meng was testing Old Jack. Of course, Old Jack wanted to test Yang Meng too. The Qing Dynasty was a decadent and backward empire, but because his size was too large, England did not want to anger this dying giant beast before he died.

Old Jack absolutely does not believe that a lord will fight against the empire. Who will be behind Lord Yang? In fact, what Old Jack doubts most is France, and Miligan is just a bait.

"Maybe there is France! You can only see this for yourself!"

It was enough for Yang Meng to hear from Old Jack that Miligan was enough. It seemed that his deal with Miligan was also seen by the English. In that way, his subsequent plays would be much easier to act.

"Are you sure Yunyan wants to raise the price?"

"Confirm! Ten times the price, cash transaction! Execute in one month!"

It's almost time to calculate, Yang Meng has to take the opportunity to grab a large amount of gold and silver from the English people. Next, it's time for him to make a comeback. He can no longer hide it!

Next, the relationship between Yunnan and the great powers will gradually become complicated. Trading is just a basis, and open and secret struggles will become the mainstream!

War and negotiation, negotiation and war are likely to be large-scale wars in the end, which is inevitable. The ownership of interests ultimately depends on the strength on the battlefield.

The price will rise in one month. Adding to the disputes in southern Xinjiang, two or three months will be enough to grab a terrifying amount. The next transaction should still be bartered as the mainstream.

"You will regret it. Doing this will only make the war bigger and bigger! The final result is something you can't accept!"

With a ten-fold price of cash transaction, Old Jack couldn't help but regret the Empire's action and angered Lord Yang. If he couldn't win on the battlefield, the impact on the Empire would be huge.

Once Yunyan rises, the price of gold and silver flows outward is an inevitable result. It is impossible to block Yunyan's demand. Some people have studied that most people in the empire can not drink for several years, but they cannot live without Yunyan for a day.

Someone once said that without Yunyan, it seems like living in hell. Lord Yang said such words, and it seems that he is fully prepared.

"Haha... a large-scale war? Do you have the right to decide? You are just the lowest-level existence. If you want to decide a country's policies, you don't have that ability!

And I will slowly become an existence that you can only look up to, and I can do it now, and the conversation between us is not equal.

This conversation, to you, is just my alms!"

When talking about this with Old Jack, Yang Meng also affirmed his status. This is a high-ranking investor in the situation in England and his evaluation is a channel for senior management to understand the situation.

Although he belittled Old Jack in his mouth, Yang Meng still attached great importance to him in his heart. These words just now were just to make Englandi's foreshadowing.

"I hope! What do you want to deal with us?"

"Dispose of you? Eagles will not hunt flies. I want to let you go back. Do you believe this?"

Who would say beautiful words? If you don’t hunt now, it doesn’t mean you won’t hunt in the future. The East India Company still owes Yang Meng a blood debt of tens of thousands of people! The thirty people at that time had to pay tens of thousands of people to this day, so how could they have to hand over tens of thousands of people to pay the bill?

"Praise your broad mind, when can we leave?"

Yang Meng couldn't help but look up at Old Jack. This person is definitely a talent! It's just that they found the wrong opponent!

"Anytime!"

He had decided to let them go, and Yang Meng would not do any useless work. He reached out to the camp gate and made a gesture of inviting him, so he didn't plan to say anything else.

"Then can we pack up?"

This time, when he advanced to the front line of Tengyue, Old Jack's mission not only attracted the attention of the Qing Dynasty, but also one of his missions to survey the terrain of Myanmar. There are too many maps of great value in the tent, and these things are their efforts!

"It's limited to clothes, food and water! Anyone who takes too much will be shot and killed!

Yang Ba, do what I said!”

After saying this, Yang Meng closed his eyes, knocked his legs leisurely, and hummed a little tune.

The negotiations were fruitless, and Old Jack also believed that Yang Meng's words just now, in order not to cause casualties, he silently looked at the British soldiers in the first battalion, and justified the clothes, food, water, and excess things. He ordered all the people to stay in the camp.

"Lord Yang, we have said goodbye!"

"At this time you should say, goodbye! Let's go! We will see you in Messe in a few days."

After saying goodbye politely, Old Jack took 394 Englishmen and silently embarked on the return journey.

"Without training and orderly, if you let them go today, maybe our people will die at their hands tomorrow, right?"

Looking at the British army leaving in a queue, Yang Meng also made an evaluation, and he really wanted to kill them!

"Third Master, why do you let them go? Or will I take people to bear them off on the way?"

After hearing Yang Meng's sigh, Yang Ba, who was about to follow him, also stopped. When he heard that these foreigners would kill his own people, Yang Ba also raised his eyebrows.

"It is easy to kill them, but it is not in our interests. Death is inevitable. Death is not dead at the hands of anyone, and a small impatience will cause trouble. Now the game of chess played by the Third Master cannot let them die!

Remember what I have assigned you, mainly depends on which forces they have too close contact with. You must write down all these forces one by one. After the monkey in the mountain is rectified, your task is to wipe out these forces without leaving any chickens and dogs!”

Attacking and killing these Englishmen now is inconsistent with Yang Meng's plan. Killing them will cause huge public grievances in English, and doing so will not be worth the cost.

The war on the Messe side was officially started. No matter how many people died, they could not say anything. Killing soldiers and killing scientific expedition teams were two completely different results.

"I see!"

After saying that, Yang Ba also took the people out of the camp.

"Go back to the Tengyue Town Barracks, don't leave anything here!"

From the marching camp to some marching equipment, Yang Meng needs to improve these. The British army is the most advanced troops now, and most of their equipment has been tested in actual combat. All Yang Meng needs to do is to improve the basics of these equipment.

As for maps and books, it is the task of Xishan Academy. The accuracy of these maps is stronger than the Qing Dynasty imperial carriage in your own hands. For some improvements, you have to learn from other people's things. (To be continued...)
