Chapter 560: The Science Society (1)

Damascus steel knives are also things that have been passed down for a long time. The patterns are rough and meticulous, so warriors are inevitably attracted by them. Tachibu and Li Xubin are both men led by Xiangyong, so they naturally like good knives.

The two sabers that Yang Meng got were also excellent among Damascus steel knives. The best ones were very good. The curve, weight and structure of the knife were all very handy. Although they were modified, the new accessories were different from the original accessories, and the center of gravity and other things were no different from the original knife.

"Good knife!"

Experts know if there is any problem as soon as they get started. Tazibu has been riding and shooting since elementary school, so he naturally knows the quality of a saber. After taking advantage of the situation, he waved it a few times and didn't want to leave the knife.

"Try the knife! This is for Master Zeng and Mr. Zuo, so don't think about it."

He ignored the envy of the two of them. Yang Meng said something that made them a little disappointed and glared at Yang Laosan. Li Xubin decided to let Yang Laosan look ugly. His waist knife was also considered a fine product for blowing hair and cutting hair. If the blade was against the blade, even if it was lost, it would make a gap for him.

"Old Ta, take me to cut it."

Regardless of Tazibu's sad look, Li Xubin placed the saber in his hand on the table, supported Tazibu, and then raised another saber.

"Yang Junmen..."

Zuo Zongtang also saw that Li Xubin wanted to do something bad, so he whispered a reminder.

"Teel the enemy deeper!"

After glanced at the three people present, Yang Meng said this, he prepared to watch the show with great interest.

After experiencing the ups and downs of their mood, the three of them also wanted to relax, so they all turned their attention to Tazibu and Li Xubin.

Unlike the black saber, Li Xubin's waist knife is shining brightly under the candlelight. If you look at the appearance, you can tell at a glance, but the specific result depends on the test knife.

"Hi! Ding..."

Li Xubin exhaled and slashed at the sabre in Tazibu's hand with a knife. This calf is also holding back his hands! The mover has an advantage, while the mover is not even good, even if he is good, he will easily get hurt!

Li Xubin also held his strength in this wave, but his hands were gone. He knew it was not good, for fear that the tip of the flying knife would hurt the three adults present. Although Yang Laosan was angry, his status was something that Li Xubin could only look up to.

A ding sound was the sound of the tip of Li Xubin's knife falling to the ground. The waist knife in Li Xubin's hand has now become a measure of the sky!

"Good knife! A peerless treasure knife!"

Tabuqi and Li Xubin are friends in the army. Li Xubin's waist knife is a treasure, and he knows it, but the result of the test of the knife still shocked him. After stroking the blade with two fingers, Tabu couldn't help but admire. Such a treasure knife can only be described as a peerless one.

Zeng Disheng believed in Tazibu, one was to avoid suspicion, and the other was to avoid suspicion. Tazibu was also a trustworthy person. He looked at the sabered sabre in Tazibu's hand, and then looked at Yang Laosan. He had nothing to say.

"Does the Yang Junmen and the British all match this kind of sword?"

Zuo Zongtang is particularly keen. If this is the case, it would be a big fuck! Cannons are not as good as people, and boats are not as good as people. We can also say that we have many people and many swords. A good tiger can't stand the wolves, but the swords are so far apart. How can we play?

I took a knife up, but there was nothing wrong with him. You only had a knife hilt. Isn’t this kind of scene hurting people?

"Come on! Get ten sabers!"

When Yang Meng's fleet came out, there was no shortage of food, swords, and ammunition. These three were the means to save lives!

Time is not long, and Yazi, who was running all the way, gave him ten sabers. These are the fine sabers customized by Yang Meng before. He took out one and tried Li Xubin's broken sabers. It was a fair share!

"This should be a British standard weapon. The so-called standard weapon is an ordinary product. What do you think?"

When it comes to Damascus steel knives, they are standard weapons of the British army, and they can be missed as soon as they are said. However, these fine sabers are really standard weapons of the British cavalry. If you can't do it well, you can customize the fine products yourself or the main goods!

"Mr. Di, my waist knife was purchased for 500 taels of silver!"

Seeing the waist knife that had turned into a flat-headed saw in his hand, Li Xubin was also in tears. Why did he feel angry when he showed off his good things?

"You two are one, Mr. Luo, and give the rest to Master Zeng! After all, the army still needs some family background. The remaining few can be rewarded to the powerful generals under his command."

After Yang Meng said this, Tazibu and Li Xubin both showed smiles on their faces. Who wouldn’t want to have a good knife in their hands when they conquer the battlefield?

Li Xubin's words just now were not lies. An ordinary sword may be worth a few taels of silver, but a real good thing is hard to find! Li Xubin's one is considered a treasure sword, not worse than the things from the Craft Office. However, such a good knife is often built in years. The equipment of the entire army is obviously only thought about.

Yang Laosan regarded this as a joke, but Zeng Zuoluo and the other two frowned with a sabre. What they were worried about was not the origin of the sabre, but the people holding the sabre at the sea.

This situation is similar to the time when "Ji Xiao New Book" was written? At that time, the sea and wu also relied on sharp swords to scatter along the coast. The current situation is even more unbearable than that time. The British not only have swords, but also strong ships and cannons!

"Yang Junmen, this British Yi is not only strong in ships and cannons, but also in his hands, such as muskets and sabers. How should we deal with them?"

Presenting facts, reasoning, and setting facts from the perspective of position is more important than reasoning. Yang Meng did the same. Today, Master Zeng is full of sorrow!

Zeng Guofan was somewhat confident in dealing with Hong Xiuquan's long-haired thief. Although the official army was defeated repeatedly, it was because the official army had been deposed for a long time. The Xiang Yong in his hands was not a depressed Green Camp soldier, and the Eight Banners soldiers were comparable to those of the eight banners. He had a chance of winning against the long-haired thief.

But when facing the British Yi who was not very clear about his strength, to be honest, Zeng Guofan had no foundation in his heart. After the Xiang Yong formed an army, he would inevitably attack Tianjing. If the British Yi was fighting Tianjing, he would inevitably not interfere. Once the war started, how should he deal with it?

"It is said! It's just said. The news brought back by the Yang family caravan is that there is a dispute in India, and the British are fighting with the Indians to death!

If we had more than 10,000 troops before, we could block the British. After all, the British came from the sea and could only reach the Qing Dynasty if we traveled thousands of miles. Replenishing food and supplies was their big problem.

But now…”

Speaking of this, Yang Meng kept another silence and cede land and compensation. Could it be decided so easily at that time?

England did suffer heavy losses when it lost the colony of India, but the situation in India is not good now! England went to war with all its might. India's three major forces retreated step by step. Although it caused considerable losses to the British army, India would not have an advantage in the war with England in a short period of time.

But the situation in India is not so bad. Although the harbor cities have been lost one after another, the three major Indian forces have formed a mortal enemy because of the massacre of the British. As long as the San does not compromise, no matter how good the British fight is now, it is just a mirror and a moon!

India's restraint, coupled with the lack of India's largest supply station, has lost a large number of Indian soldiers, and the British army's combat power is just that. As long as they are released, the great powers will be slaughtered by others.

Yang Laosan’s one before and the other now reminds the three of them of the cut off Hong Kong Island, which seems to be another major defeat for the court.

"Yang Junmen, is it because of Hong Kong Island?"

This was put forward by Zuo Zongtang. Today, the three of them heard a lot of subversive information. Although they were shocked, the shock also shocked some of the constraints. Their thinking was full of vitality, so they naturally could easily lead their target to Hong Kong Island.

"Not bad! Now that the court has cut off Hong Kong Island, the British have a front-line supply station. Although the production of Hong Kong Island is not large, the territory of Hong Kong Island is not small. It is easy to stockpile hundreds of thousands of people in food and grass, and then station 100,000 people in 180,000 people!

The compensation of 20 million is enough to make the British fight to destroy the country. Which one can stop the 100,000 British, a hundred warships, and a thousand artillery guns?"

It is sensational, it is absolutely sensational. Tens of thousands of hairy thieves attacked cities and villages one after another. If a hundred thousand British barbarians come, would it be great? The disaster of a country is about to destroy it!

"Yang Junmen, can the British Yi have such combat power?"

Although this is credible, Zeng Guofan still chose not to believe it and dare not believe it! If the 100,000 British people attacked, no one could stop it!

"Does anyone know that there are many British people who can fight to death with India after all. Even if there are not 100,000, there are always 30,000 or 50,000, right?

Once the British take over India is unfavorable and we have a hairy place, will they turn to it?

There are millions of people in Jiangning, but not 30,000 to 50,000. I’m afraid it’s 10,000 to 20,000 British and gunboats, which is a death for us, right?”

This is also the real problem that Yang Meng is worried about. Now there are 30,000 to 50,000 British troops gathered in India, and there are hundreds of warships. Once England feels that India is not useful, will it invade the Qing Dynasty in large numbers?

If the Taiping Army and the British Army were in chaos, this matter would be extremely difficult for Yang Meng. Although Yunnan had a lot of troops, the British warships were one of Yunnan's weaknesses, that is, the ten ironclad ships were built, and could they be the opponent of hundreds of warships? Yang Meng basically had no hope for this matter.

"What should I do?"

Zeng Disheng was the leader of the three. After exchanging eyes, the three felt that Yang Laosan’s words were not groundless. After returning to some things, they could find out that it was easy to expose the lies on this matter.

"Let's talk about it first! Now there is a court above us. If we report this matter to the court, it may still be a situation of cede land and seeking peace. If we practice two or three available brave camps and block the British, there will be some battles.

Don’t look at me like this. This is what Mr. Lin told me. When Mr. Lin was in charge of Yunnan and Guizhou, he was dismissed by the court when he was unwilling to do so. What are the two of us?

Just a minister in the group training! What official position is Mr. Luo now? What official position is Mr. Zuo now? If we want to influence the major policies of the court, we have no military achievements and no status. We can only think about this matter!"

When I was against the Qing Dynasty, I was afraid that I would break up with Master Zeng as soon as I opened my mouth. Protecting the Qing Dynasty and protecting the church was a good reason. The fact was almost the same, and it depends on how the three of them decided.

With military merits and status, as well as Lin Laohu's experience back then, the way to report this matter to the court was basically cut off. Unless Mr. Zeng didn't want to do it, he wouldn't have just added this memorandum casually.

"Yang Junmen, this matter is very important. Can I let a few days? Now I am rebelling against Han and Ying, and Jiang Zhongyuan is occupied in Nanchang. Within ten days and half a month, there is no war between the two lakes. When I think it through, how about I give Yang Junmen an answer?"

After listening to Yang Laosan's words, Zeng Guofan felt that this young man was the backhand of Lin Yuanfu. The military training in Yunnan and Guizhou failed to be completed. Lin Yuanfu was transferred and Yang Laosan was dismissed. It seemed that Lin Yuanfu was unwilling to accept it back then, leaving Yang Laosan with this backhand. Now this world is just right for Yang Laosan, and Lin Yuanfu's planning can continue.

Zeng Guofan admired Lin Yuanfu, but he still needs to think about whether this matter can be accomplished. After all, this is doing things behind the court. Although the purpose is good, the methods are undoubtedly a bit unfaithful!

"Yes! This matter is difficult to accept after all. You can go back and think about it! Whether it is successful or not, Yang San only asks you not to report this information to the court. Once the court is cowardly, the country will be destroyed not far away!"

This is true. The three of them nodded, agreeing with Yang Meng's statement. Next, they went back to their own houses, hugged their fists, nodded, and looked at the sky and time, it was already midnight.
