1890 King of Southeast Asia

This "friendly" visit stimulated the old witch, and surprisingly, the old witch really let the Zongli Yamen and Nanhua sign a treaty.

"We have troops approaching the border, so we shouldn't sign the treaty in a hurry, right?" Zhang You was extremely confused when he heard the news.

Although it was a normal treaty, the content was only that the two sides formally established diplomatic relations, sent consuls to each other, established embassies, trade cooperation, etc.

But people told you this many times, you didn't agree, now I bring the ship and put up the cannons, you don't condemn it, but you ran over to sign it and withdrew the navy.

"No matter how outrageous the operation is, it's normal for the old witch." After all, this person is not normal.

Who would treat his own people as foreigners as a normal ruler?

That is, cynicism...

"Okay, I'll take you to play, don't think about them, they are just dry bones in the tomb..." Liu Yiming became more and more unhappy, but what could Nanhua do at this time?

Nothing can be done, fight back? Regardless of whether they have the ability or not, the South China Army will be robbed the moment they come ashore.

Britain will not allow it, or rather, no country will allow it.

"Okay!" Liu Yiming took Zhang You to visit Shanghai...

…………

Forbidden City.

This city is full of history, the core of this huge empire, and an ancient cultural treasure.

No matter how many words are used to describe it, it seems pale and powerless, but the people who live here now...

Just after the Double Ninth Festival, the old witch couldn't wait to convene a grand court meeting.

One by one, birds and beasts stepped into the court, and the whole room was full of nobles, kneeling on the ground, shouting long live the mountain (no typo, it's the mountain.).

"Today, I called you all here to discuss the issue of coastal defense." The old witch was behind the curtain, and she handled all the government affairs.

"Report to the Queen Mother, I am guilty of the issue of coastal defense. The Beiyang warships were not good enough and failed to catch up with the enemy ships. Please punish me, Queen Mother." Lord Li slid to the ground and shouted guilty.

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, please punish the Minister of Commerce of Beiyang for neglecting his duties, which led to the collapse of coastal defense and the enemy's warships reaching the center, disregarding the safety of Your Majesty and the Queen Mother. Please behead this beast."

"I have this report to implicate the Governor-General of Zhili and the Minister of Beiyang for eight major crimes!"

At the action of Lord Li, the clean streams seemed to be activated one by one, and the court suddenly became a vegetable market.

"Enough!" The old witch originally wanted to punish Lord Li, but now she can only save the arm of this party.

"Today we are discussing coastal defense. What's going on, Lord Li, tell me." The old witch looked at Lord Li.

"To answer the Queen Mother, the Nanhua ship is fast, traveling 80 miles per hour, while Dingzhen can only travel 40 miles, far behind."

"And their ship is new and their guns are powerful. Their Nanhua's latest 15-meter gun can fire eight times for each shot of my Beiyang 15-meter gun. Their 24-meter heavy gun has a firing rate similar to my 15-meter gun."

"Even if they catch up, my soldiers are just loyal to the country and die for it."

Lord Li looked at the large circle of people around him and spoke slowly.

"Ridiculous! Didn't you, Lord Li, say that your Beiyang Dingzhen and two ships are the world's top ironclad ships, but now you can't catch up and can't beat them. What kind of ironclad ships are they?" Military Minister, Minister of Revenue Weng Tongsu began to speak.

This is a truly shameless person. To be honest, as an important official of a country, it is normal to attack another important official. They are political enemies.

But this leader of the Qingliu, Lord Weng, has no ability, is self-satisfied, and only adds fuel to the fire, not putting it out. For the emperor's personal rule, he was instigating the construction of the garden!

He scolded others for being charming, but he was the best, but his investment failed.

"I ask him to punish him for deceiving the emperor!" Lord Weng began to retaliate. He only knew this, but he couldn't do things or solve problems.

"Then Lord Weng has an idea. This time, the one who came came to the ship to exchange (yes, naval artillery diplomacy), who knows what will come next time? Will it be like the Gengshen year?" The Empress Party also began to refute the Emperor Party.

It's disgusting that in the court, from the emperor and the empress dowager to the fifth and sixth rank officials (the grand court meeting), most people think about party unity and fighting against dissidents, and few people care about the faction of Nanhua's warships still parked in Tianjin.

"Empress Dowager! I have a memorial!" Seeing that the topic in the court was getting more and more off-topic, Lord Li had no choice but to speak out again.

"Shut up! You tell me." The old witch heard about the events of the Gengshen year, and the fear in her mind came out again, and she finally calmed down.

"Last year, Japan and Nanhua went to war, and a naval battle took place in the middle of the year. Japan was defeated, and then..." Lord Li was about to tell the details.

"Li Hefei! Now we are discussing your dereliction of duty in the Beiyang!" Lord Weng knew what Lord Li wanted to say, but how could he let him say it?

He had received money from Japan, and his family also had business with Japan. Besides, if the Queen Mother wanted to strengthen the navy, wouldn't it be strengthening the power of his enemy?

And if the money was used to build the navy, what would it use to build the garden? If the garden was not built, where would the Queen Mother live? When would she return the government?

If he didn't return the government, how could he guarantee his power as the imperial teacher?

"Lord Weng, let's listen to what Lord Li has to say first!" Prince Li, a senior official of the Queen's party, stood up and spoke.

"Master Li, please continue."

"This... After the Japanese naval war was defeated, they ordered two ironclad fast ships from Britain, with eight 15-gun and twelve 12-gun, and a faster speed."

"At the end of the year, they placed an order for two 10,000-ton battleships from Britain. One ship weighed as much as Dingzhen combined, not to mention two."

"That's also a matter of Japan. Where do I do it with me?" Master Weng said the old demon's mind.

"This saying is bad, the husband is not guilty of his sin, the military power of Japan has overwhelmed me, and the domestic poverty is unbearable. I don't know ... "Lord Li longed for the reason to talk to Sha Coin.

"Then Japan will fight with me in the heavens? Are you dare?" Master Weng said the voice of most people. (Eight shares trained by Tongzhi ZTE)

"If Japan started war, it would be handsome by Master Weng! His Majesty, Queen Mother! Crime, please ask for duty!" Lord Li smiled coldly. He really looked down on this person.

His eyes are low, and he doesn't look down on this, and there are a few words in his mouth, and you look down on these western schools. Zhang Nanpi, who is also clear, is also disapproved of such people after the steel factory is put on the steel factory.

"Huh! This will let the emperor settle." Master Weng arched his hands.

"OK, Lord Li, saying a solution." The old demon was impatient.

But the old demon also does not believe this neighbor. Is it still less?

"There is only one way to expand the navy." Lord Li lay on the ground again.

"Is there a charter?"

"Chen, have contacted businessmen from various countries, there are three strategies of the upper, middle, and lower, and ask the queen mother to be the master!" Master Li found three folds from his sleeves.

"Little plum, think about it!"

"Policy! 50 million silver, 20 emergency purchases ..."

"China Strategy! Thirty -two -two -funded, four emergency purchase of iron armored boats, two to four ships on the next battleships of the Europa countries, two to four Clippers, all equipped with new artillery, which can deter Japan and win the battle! "

"In the next policy, allocated 10 million yuan, two urgent purchase of iron armored boats, torpedo boats, mosquito ships, and coastal cannons, can protect Gyeonggi, but ... should be abandoned by the vassal country, it is impossible to go to the sea."

Master Li knew that these people were born in the three kingdoms, especially the old demon who had no culture.

Anyway, I have explained it, you can choose to choose the next policy, then don't blame Beiyang to give up the vassal state directly and return to the port. Anyway, Master Li didn't care.

You have to choose, that's the best, just give you money. The money is in place, and everything is good.

"It's really extravagant. Since the establishment of the Navy, it has consumed 35 million. Now it has not played a role. There are so many more?" Master Weng's daily tasks saved money.

"So much?" The old demon didn't care about it. This was a spending of twenty years. At least after the establishment of the navy, it did not be beaten to the face by others.

"Back to the queen mother, now the ship is getting bigger and bigger, faster, and more expensive. The new Japanese ship, the two ships purchase price of 9 million silver, it is really impossible." one.

"Okay, to pass the will, the Ministry of Households allocated 6 million yuan, and the provinces exchanged 8 million coastal defense for three years. Wan, isn't the Dajiang Master's abolition? You also abolished some old ships, there is no money!

Among these money, the households appropriation should be the fastest, but the book of the Ministry of Households is Master Weng.

Guan Yu has to pay at the end of the year.

The autumn tax that is collected, and the money on the governor of Zhili, can be used directly, which is equivalent to 2 million funding.

The others are not given, do you have to wait, who knows how long? And the old demon did not say that the one was the one.

"Queen Mother Xie ..." Master Li knew that this was the limit, and the old demon could not let him go, he could only bow his head.

..............

"So, do you want to use two million silver to buy my four armored cruisers?" Liu Yiming frowned and looked at Lord Li.

"Master Li, don't laugh. At this season, I don't increase the price.

"It is not two million, but 1.2 million, two million is just a deposit." Lord Li smiled.

"It's not that I don't sell it, but that I have just had some contradictions with the United States. The four cruisers are busy. I can't sell it for the time being. Why don't you save money first?" This is an excuse. Essence

"The new Japanese warship has been back, and the speed is very fast. I have to confront it." Master Li still wanted.

"1.5 million ships, selling two ships, half of the silver payment, half of the goods paid with goods, and delivery one month later, how about it?" Liu Yiming considered that Japan could not swell.

Some people who can't bear their temperament are about to make trouble.

"This ..." Lord Li hesitated.

"Dingzhen is the same price." He tried to bargain.

"That is the technical verification of you with you. Besides, the cost of the warship and the warship ten years ago, the cost has long been turned upside down!" Liu Yiming waved his hand.

"The two warships are armored ships, and they still run fast. Before its armored ship returns, you don't have to worry about it, then, look again." Liu Yiming was perfunctory.

"This price is still a bit too high."

"Don't forget it, I keep it myself, I have to use it too." Liu Yiming shook his sleeves, and Hawaii had something happened. Lin Anmin came with a telegram, as if he found a queen, and then restored it?

The telegram from the telegram from South China can pass the news that the telegrams can be passed on, but they are confidential and dare not pass directly, so it is very vague.

Therefore, Liu Yiming is considering whether to sell warships. After all, the form of South China has changed again, and the demand for medium -sized high -speed cruisers has.

"Don't stop, talk about business, talk, talk about it again." Master Li stood up.

"I don't lie to you either. I really wanted to sell it before, but your movements are too slow. Now where I want it, what you want, sell two of you, let you be in the emergency, I will stay in Ryukyu Soldiers, deterring Japan. "Liu Yiming said the truth.

Master Li is not allowed, is this person really useful or bargain?

"That's it! You and I think about it. After establishing this matter, I also go back and see if there is still stock." Liu Yiming used the last words, and after all, he was not sure not to sell it.

"It can only be that." Master Li thought, the funding of the households did not come down,

However, autumn taxes, Nanyang, and exchanges have been arrived one after another. In addition, the money of the Governor of Zhili can already consider the problem of battleships.

Nympho

Hurrying to leave DIE Qing, Liu Yiming returned to South China in early November to figure out what happened.

"Lin Anmin occupied Hawaii?" Liu Yiming was stunned.

But let you mix the water in the past, find the opportunity to launch the water, so that Hawaii can become an international co -management area and hit a leg of the United States.

Are you amputation directly? Is it too ruthless? But I like it.

"Specific documents are in your office, but probably this is the case, where I have gone to me to protest several times." Xu Hui said helplessly.

"Is there a response from an international student?" The South China Minister in the United States said.

"This is not, and the news agency is not too interested."

"That's all right. As long as you do n’t draw the territory for the time being, you can refuse all the visits to the US warships for the reason, and find it casually." Liu Yiming picked up the document.

The document was not complicated. Lin Anmin was useless to use the Marine Corps. He concentrated more than 200 Chinese people. He took a rifle grenade and completed a coup. Probably (the next chapter.)

"Let the queen seek protection from us, and then the name is stationed in the warship." Liu Yiming put down the document.

"After that?" Xu Hui could see the importance of this islands in the central Pacific.

"Later? Let's talk about it! What is tight now is domestic warships." Liu Yiming's words made Xu Hui unable to distinguish the southeast and northwest.

"Do you strengthen the arms? No problem, the 50 million special funds prepared before have not been spent yet, you take it." Xu Hui said generously.

"No, I want to sell warships, and the money I sell is enough to build a few ships." Liu Yiming did not plan to build a big warship.

After the navy planning, based on the manufacture of medium -sized armored ships, the fearless ship had to wait for 1895.

The main forces are concentrated on defensive lightning ships with light armor, as well as ocean destroyers for ocean patrols.

As for the big warships, there are three warships equipped with South China weapons, armored, fire control, and import power system.

The span is very large, so it is designed in South China, and then spend money to ask someone to help in South China. At present, the problem is constantly.

"Selling warships?" Xu Hui was surprised.

"Yes!" The peaceful situation made Liu Yiming judged that isolationism has not ended. No wonder the Burine is the beginning.

It's okay, I don't fight, send Changluo -level deterrence to occupy the port of the army, then there is no supply point, you have a temper, you hit it!

Seeking collection, silver tickets, and reading!
