Chapter three hundred and seventieth anger into anger

After sending away the three people from Miligan, Yang Meng's retreat was stable. After getting Miligan, France stopped the West and found a batch of agents to give them a certain voice in the great powers. It was not entirely for the future. Another important one was to cut off the foreign aid of the Qing Dynasty.

The Qing Dynasty was not an opponent or an enemy. As long as they handed over the country's destiny, everything was easy to discuss. The Eight-Nation Alliance that caused China to sink into decline was the real enemy, and it was also a great enemy.

In the northwest of Oros, Yang Meng is now unable to take into account that Miligan's national policy and the situation there have also determined Miligan's attitude. Within more than ten years, Miligan still had no threat to the Qing Dynasty.

The major powers at sea were mainly England and France. Other countries did not have the strength to go to war with the Qing Dynasty. Both countries were eyeing the Qing Dynasty. None of these two guys were good, and they beat each one in turn, just Yang Meng's layout.

First join forces with France to fight the English Gillians, and then go back to deal with the Frenchman. Although this layout is good, the Frenchman has not responded yet. Yang Meng is not good at finding others. Once he gets the pole, it is easy to arouse the suspicion of the Frenchman. After all, no one is a fool.

The chess that Yang Meng is now playing is also very dangerous. raising Yunyan’s price is just an illusion. Once England and France reach a consensus on Yunyan’s issue, that is the real trouble.

France must make a choice between the old enemy England and the Qing Dynasty. These days, Yang Meng has also learned about France's political situation, which is undoubtedly good news for Yang Meng.

France's political situation was unstable, and the newly appointed president Napoleon III was planning to become a master of emperor and cooperate with his old enemy England and to seize the clouds. Although it seemed to be very profitable, it was not in the interests of Napoleon III.

Conquering Annan is called developing overseas colonies. Compared with Yunyan, this will undoubtedly improve Napoleon III's status in China. If you promise some mineral export orders, France should choose your agent now.

There has been no good news on Renres these days. French businessmen cannot contact senior politicians, while the French fleet near Asia is an existence that Renres cannot reach.

Waiting is also a torment for Yang Meng.

"Master, what are you worried about? Tell me, Zhiqing will relieve you. We don't feel good when we see you can't eat well or sleep well!"

With Lian'er in his arms, Wei Zhiqing gently knocked behind her back. Yang Meng has been planning for the affairs of southern Xinjiang these days. Many ideas have been pushed back and started again. Without France's help, Yang Meng would find it difficult to defeat the British devils entrenched in India.

After all, there is still a gap in the military strength of the two sides. Yang Meng cannot get all the troops in Yunnan and fight with England to fight in the Southeast Peninsula. If the losses of tens of thousands of yuan are coming again and again, the four provinces can still easily digest it. Large-scale wars, the casualties of tens of thousands of people will be destroyed in a few times.

Although Yang Meng was looking forward to the war, what he was looking forward to was that the vassal states and England and Geely launched a war of continuous war. If this was done, Yang Meng could easily assist the vassal states so that they could feel grateful; second, these vassal states could solve the trouble of a large number of casualties for Yang Meng; third, the vassal states could not only consume the combat power of England and Geely, but also increase the hatred of each vassal state for unlimited purposes. In this way, Yang Meng would easily bring the vassal states under his command after the war.

Since I arrived in Guangzhou, I have not heard of news from southern Xinjiang. Although I have been urging Morse to pull telegraph lines, the production is limited, and the number of telegraph lines of thousands of kilometers is also needed to be produced in Miligan.

Today, he received a letter from Feige who had nothing to do in southern Xinjiang. Yang Meng frowned for a day. During this day, Yang Meng didn't eat and drink much. This made Lian'er and Wei Zhiqing who were following him.

"Trouble! I'm playing tricks myself. France has been slow to move and can only attack England!"

France is likely to be waiting and watching, they are waiting for England to get out of trouble, but England has been used to robbers' business for so many years, and there is no shortage of caution and meticulousness.

These two countries have time to spend, but Yang Meng has no time! The longer they wait, the clearer the analysis of the situation between the two countries will be. The Qing Dynasty had a big weakness, that is, coastal defense.

If Britain and France learn from the experience of the Japanese and Japanese countries, there would be a good way to use pirates to destroy the Qing Dynasty's continuous coastline and loot the inland. The Qing Dynasty's coastline was simply unprepared, but these two countries were frightened by the huge population of the Qing Dynasty.

Yang Meng would never let him happen to such a thing. The fastest and best way is to force the East India Company to take action in advance and drag the entire English to the war quagmire of the Southeast Peninsula.

"I'm a little hungry when I get some food!"

After thinking in his heart, he also had an appetite. As soon as Yang Meng said this, the two girls shouted and arranged a sumptuous dinner for Yang Meng.

The wind swept away all the things on the table like a cloud. Yang Meng ordered Lian'er to expel guests. Since the little girl was pregnant, she has become much plump and her rosy face has become more and more tempting. It's a pity that she can't eat. The exercise after the meal can only be difficult for Master Wei.

"Hehe... It's better if no one is entangled. Master Wei, you have been walking in the foreign horoscope these days, so don't go out too much!"

Lian'er chuckled, teased Master Wei, and slowly left Yang Meng's house with a few maids.

"Master, find a few thin horses..."

Seeing Yang Meng's movements, Master Wei also collapsed on the brocade bed, got up early to exercise and return to Yuan, woke up after discussion, exercised and digested food after meals. His own man could only make her artificial these days. Although it was a favor, Master Wei could not stand it when dealing with Yang Meng alone.

"What are you doing to them? It's better for Mr. Wei to get some debts for no reason!"

It is also Yang Meng's responsibility to strictly control the number of back homes, otherwise it will be a problem in the future if a large group is built. If there is no one left, the iron goods will be turned into rotten wood. Moreover, the thin horses raised in back homes cannot be rewarded. Yang Meng cannot wear such a hat.

"Taichen, how many warships have you given to us?"

When he woke up, he felt refreshed and left Master Wei, Yang Meng found Ding Taichen. As soon as he spoke, he pointed his finger at the East India Company.

"I gave three merchant ships yesterday, all of which were transformed by warships, and the money was already paid!

This month, there are still ten ships there, but the prices of these broken ships are a bit outrageous!”

The East India Company is very capable. In just a few days, they can get retired warships, but these sluts are not good people. Yang Meng raised Yunyan's price. The East India Company did not hesitate and directly gave Ding Taichen a sky-high price.

"You boy won't talk about bargaining?"

Although the Yang family has always been a fool and has a lot of money, Yang Meng still doesn't want to spend it.

"I can't talk about it! The British warships are indeed unique. These three warships are giant ships with a displacement of 4,000 tons. The shipyard only collected two such giant ships!

Also, these three ships are already seventy years old and are so dilapidated that I handed over the ship and the drawings to the shipyard. The transformation of the ironclad ship starts with these three ships!"

Although Yang Meng wanted a warship with a service period of 30 to 50 years, although these three warships with a seventy-year age were dilapidated, their structure was still basically intact. A giant ship of 4,000 tons was hard to come by. At the suggestion of the shipyard technician, Ding Taichen still gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Well! It's not bad! At least it's a giant ship! Tell the East India Company that we will only have three old ships a month in the future, so don't have more! Old ships with displacement less than 3,000 tons will only be given a bargain price!

As for their demand for Yunyan, we can provide unlimited supply, but there is a cash settlement!"

It is actually very simple to force English to jump over the wall with a price of five times the price. I am afraid that English will immediately swear. The three old warships exchanged for cloud smoke is not enough to deal with English's usual market demand. It is only a matter of time before they can jump over the wall with a price of five times.

Ding Taichen brought the news to the East India Company. Smith brought the half-old man who was silent in the afternoon to Lixiangyuan. This time, Smith looked like a follower, and the half-old man also had no personal appearance.

"Old guy, are you here to look for humiliation again?"

Without any courtesy, Yang Meng looked like a slut when he came up, and his face turned red with just one sentence.

"Can you call me Ahibine and insult an old man. Is this the level of education in your country?"

This Ahiben's Chinese is poor, but his wording is extremely sharp and difficult to describe. It seems that this is also a veteran at the negotiating table.

"If you are old but not dead, you are a thief. This sentence has been circulating in my country for thousands of years. Old things have been my honorific title for you, otherwise you will be an old thief!

If you have something to say, what kind of tricks can you do? I don’t have time to talk to you about my moji!"

What Yang Meng wants to show today is shamelessness and bottomlessness, otherwise how could he force English to jump over the wall?

"Okay! Then let's talk about the important matter. Why did we have another statement when replacing Yunyan with a retired warship before?"

Ahiben did not engage in too much in terms of titles, so he got to the point.

"No, no! I don't want it anymore!"

Yang Meng's words mean more. In Ahiben's view, there must be other countries selling warships with artillery, which blocked the East India Company's trade route.

"There are other countries selling you warships, right? Young man, it seems that you know the strength of the Imperial Navy, otherwise you wouldn't be in a hurry to buy warships.

What a pity! Your trade road is about to be cut off!"

The threat was expected to be as expected by Yang Meng. He did not react too aggressively to this, but instead came up with a French contract.

"You don't have to say that the trade route is broken, but the supply of clouds and smoke in England will be cut off today! I will not trade with any English merchant in the future, and without my permission, anyone who trades with English merchants will cut off his supply. This is the contract I am drafting.

Any merchant who sells Yunyan to England will be ten times the current price, which is fifty times the original price, and must be settled in cash.

The price is fifty times, and a ton of cloud smoke is only 250 tons of silver. I believe this result is something this country is very willing to see, and they are definitely willing to be this pawn!”

After clicking on the French contract on the table, Yang Meng also threw out his killer weapon to force the dog to jump over the wall.

"Oh hehe...Young man, you are so brave. Needless to say, Guangzhou will be in a sea of ​​fire tomorrow!"

After hearing Yang Meng's words, Yaheben did not show any extreme performance. He smiled softly and decided to start the war.

"Haha... Old thief, I'm afraid you don't have the ability. If you want to start a war in Guangzhou, don't you need the permission of your empire?

If you fire a shot tomorrow, you will try it. If you fire the shot, the price of Yunyan will rise ten times. Moreover, Yunyan's transactions will not be conducted in any port in the Qing Dynasty. For this reason, the price of Yunyan in various countries will rise.

War is easy to start, but if you want to end, you can’t decide. Just look at the people of your country, there is a great demand for Yunyan, or a great demand for war!

Get out!"

Looking at Yang Meng who was angry and embarrassed, Ahiben's face really changed. This rogue General Yang dared to say and do it. He also had the upper echelons of the empire and the queen at the top. Even if the queen agreed to start the war, there were also the House and the people!

Fighting a war is quite cautious for a serious country. Habitual war often means failure. When encountering a real political hooligan, Ahiben has no choice. (To be continued...)
