Fusang and Albion were once good ally relations. Even in the Fusang Tiel War, if Albion had not provided huge loans, the number of winners and losses would not be known. However, after this battle, the strong combat effectiveness shown by Fusang also made Albion feel uneasy, and in the later national policy, he began to take correct measures to curb Fusang.

Furthermore, as the new generation of power in China, Yuan Weiting controlled his position and was also the interests of Albion. Zhuerdian was close friends with Yuan. Prussia had many teachers and military advisers in the Beiyang Army, but Fusang now also had an advisory group around Yuan Weiting.

Limited to previous treaties, Fusang could not directly participate in the Beiyang military. These consultants served as economic experts in the Yuan Shogunate. However, their true identity was quite suspicious, and Juerdian was also hostile and alert to these people.

The iron ore and coal mine involved this time are both located in Northern Zhili. It is regarded by Albion as a treasure and has been coveted for a long time. If you don’t want to whip the Fusang people first, how can you not be angry? Although those shares are nominally in the hands of the royal family, in Zhu Erdian’s opinion, the so-called royal family has long lost the majesty of its subordinates. It is just the meat on Yuan Weiting’s chopping board, and they can slaughter it.

Moreover, these shares earn an interest every year, so they use endless wealth and do not need to be sold at all. Such an arrangement must be pressure or even threat from Yuan Weiting's official residence, and can also be regarded as a manifestation of Yuan Weiting's diplomatic tendency towards Fusang.

Due to the Yankee Civil War, Albion's power was restrained in Taisie, and his power in China was weakened and his control decreased. The more this happened, the more he had to maintain his authority and ensure that the Jin Dynasty would not have the will of abandoning Albion, so the more arrogant he was in his behavior.

He made an appointment with Zhao Guanhou. The so-called conflict between friends was a third party, and asking a third party to make a judgment was nothing more than an excuse. The purpose was to boast about Yuan Weiting's ability. If he could not satisfy him, he could go to Yuan to help Zhao at any time and establish another eye-catching person who is in line with his own interests. On the other hand, it was also to test Zhao Guanhou's view. If he also turned to Fusang, the situation would be quite considerable.

Zhao Guanhou shook his head and said, "We came from Fang Jiayuan, and we met a few acquaintances there. One was King Kung and the other was King Su. Another one was smoked with them. Ishii, the Ishii made by Fusang Hachiman. Since these shares were sold to Hachiman Ishii, I think they cannot do without Mr. Ishii. In addition, I heard a news that seemed to be related to the arms trade."

The Albion people's intelligence power in the Jin Kingdom was not weak. When Zhao Guanhou said this, Zhu Erdian's face became even more gloomy.

"It seems that some stupid people overestimate themselves and try to challenge the glory of the Albion Empire. They will pay the price for their stupid actions! The transportation of this batch of arms will be handed over to you in the shortest time. Lord Zhao also hopes that you can properly protect your country's mineral resources from the perspective of maintaining diplomatic relations between our countries."

Zhao Guanhou nodded and said, "Don't worry, I can guarantee you this. Our country's mining capital will not flow into the hands of Fusang. What kind of peace agreement has been made between them is one thing, but it is another thing when it is fulfilled. I can guarantee that even if the Fusang people nominally own the shares held by this royal family, they will not really transport the ore."

"This is the best. I personally regret some of your country's behavior. Since we have established a common alliance, we should work hard to maintain this system. I don't understand why some people still think about restoration after the common alliance is established. This is not limited to the royal family, and even around Rong'an, some people hold similar views. As a friend, I don't want Rong'an to be fooled by these ignorant people and embark on a path of misleading others. You are both his subordinate and close friend, and you should stop him and move towards a path of destruction."

Zhao Guanhou knew that people with the identity of Zhu Erdian would not make empty talk. He must have obtained some information from someone next to Yuan Weiting and confirmed that Yuan Weiting had some signs of wanting to restore the imperial system. However, Zhu Erdian refused to explain in detail, and he could not pursue it again, otherwise it would become a cross-examination. He had to answer in a general way.

"I will definitely submit the opinion of your minister to the President. The President is our friend and we know his talents. It is not easy to fool him. Moreover, there are many people around him who have broad vision, so he can always avoid making mistakes."

"I hope so. At present, your country's finances are on the verge of bankruptcy and have lost their ability to make money. It is difficult to repay the interest from the foreign debts you borrow. Now, what you need is to spend a considerable time to restore your vitality and ensure that your country's people can resume normal life as soon as possible. Any rash move will bring devastating disasters to this country. Based on Albion's interests in China and my years of friendship with the President, I personally do not want to see that happen."

Zhao Guanhou first thanked him, and then said, "I agree with your minister. The President summoned him today and also specifically mentioned to me the idea of ​​restoring people's livelihood and revitalizing the economy. Although state affairs are difficult, as long as our subjects are united, they can always solve the problem. The difficulties can be overcome slowly and can always be overcome. As long as there is no war inside and no military disaster outside, China will not take long to recover its vitality and pay off the debts of various countries."

"I hope so. What we are doing now is to try to avoid China from falling into war or foreign aggression. It is based on the law of all nations. But to eliminate internal borers, it requires your own strength. Lord Zhao, the construction you are doing in Shandong can always appear in our Times. Some of our country's parliamentarians even call Shandong under your rule the most brilliant pearl in the East. This is the right direction. If the President can adopt an open and friendly attitude towards the world like you and actively promote the process of comprehensive Westernization in Thailand, we will definitely be very happy. But I also want to give some advice."

"Please speak with you, Your Excellency."

"Shandong's development requires loans, which is unquestionable. However, according to the principle of equalizing interests, Shandong's loans should be borrowed from the five-nation banking group, not just one. The loans for Shandong's development are only dependent on Huabi, and are negotiating a joint venture with the Prussians, but not communicating with Albion's banks or merchants, which is more than one."

Rodley cooperated, "Mr. Minister, I think I should understand Guan Hou's difficulties. After all, one is the beautiful and charming Mrs. Jason, and the other is the heroic Miss Hannah. It is indeed very difficult to refuse such a beauty's request. Even if I am afraid I can't do anything."

Jurden shook his head and said, "No, no, that's exactly what I'm going to say. Is it possible that in Guanhou's eyes, only Prussia has beautiful girls? Our Albion women are the real Lady of Tessie. I'm going to hold a dance party at the Albion Embassy recently. Guanhou must come. I will let you see how charming we Albion women are."

He said this, just joking, and the tense atmosphere just now restored peace in this joke. Zhao Guanhou nodded in agreement with a smile, and then said: "The President wants to establish a civil affairs chief in Shandong. I, as the general, no longer manages civil affairs. I am afraid I can't do anything about loans. When the new civil affairs chief takes office, I will negotiate with him and suggest that he strengthen cooperation with Albion. However, I don't know who the new civil affairs chief is, and I can't say it for the time being."

Zhu Erdian's expression was very serious, "I am the official of the internal affairs of the country. Our country will not intervene. For example, the candidate for the Civil Affairs Minister, this is the authority of the President, so I will naturally not intervene. However, if the new Civil Affairs Minister cannot continue your economic strategy and have a bad impact on the diplomatic relations between the two countries, I will not stand by. I will definitely negotiate with the President. In Shandong, Albion will always be your strong backing."

"For this reason, thank you, Your Excellency the Minister."

Rodley said in due time: "For the future of your country, for the development of Shandong and the friendship between us, let's have a drink."

As he spoke, he pulled a copper wire beside him. Sai Jinhua led two graceful women into the outside, holding a tray in his hand, and a bottle of fine brandy was placed on it. The wine flowed into the cup, shaking gently, causing ripples. The glasses were gently touched together, and the two young girls each held the arm of a foreign man. Several of them relaxed and laughed. All the problems seemed to have disappeared invisible with the laughter.

Henan, Nanyang City Head.

The five-colored flag was cut down, and a plain-colored flag with the words "Grand Commander of the Central Plains Fu Han Army" was hung high on the top of the city. The characters are as big as a bowl, and are written in a rather sloppy manner. Although they are not written by famous artists, they have an unrestrained atmosphere, which is contained in it. The fires in the city have been extinguished, leaving only gushing black smoke to the sky.

Most of the governors and office workers who were originally stationed here had already broken through with the 59th Army Regiment, but some staff members, including the police and the city's large households, had no time to escape, and were all captured. As the city of Nanyang, another regiment of the army was stationed, and they believed that they were as solid as a god. Even when the war broke out, rich people from other places fled to Nanyang to take refuge, which was more conducive to the attackers' attacks.

All the attackers had foot strength, horses and mules. Some were wearing incompatible long gowns, their hems were burned by fire, or they were torn off by themselves, which looked very funny. Others were wearing short shirts and bare-handed clothes, while others were wearing martial arts outfits on the stage or martial arts uniforms. But most of them were wearing patched cloth clothes, barefoot, and their pants were rolled to their knees, revealing their dark and mud-stained calves.

Not long ago, they were all hard-working farmers in the fields, scattering sweat on the land, hoping for a good harvest. Hope once came, at least in the publicity of people sent by the county town, claiming that after the merger is united, everything will be renewed and people will live a good life. But soon, hope was defeated by despair.

Togethering together did not mean much to them. The rich man in the village was still the rich man, and the master in the county was still the master. The three-class and six-bedroom houses were retained as they were, but they changed their uniforms and changed their name. The county magistrate even retained his own full-squad ceremonial guards, not playing boards, but changing them to standing cages, which was even more sad than playing boards.

What the new official mansion needs most is not the gratitude and support of the farmers, but their money and food. Dozens of taxes that have never been heard of have fallen from the sky. Fully armed soldiers and police investigated, rushed into their homes, took away the last grain of food, and claimed that the people should support the official mansion, and that they would not pay the food to death.

In the pre-Jin period, scholars could set up broken boot formations and go to the yamen to negotiate with the county magistrate. Relying on their identity as scholars, they could organize food resistance without punishment. But now that they have been established, everything is different. As soon as the peasant association was formed, soldiers lined up to disband, and the rebels were immediately entertained by guns, bullets and bayonets. There was no difference between scholars and farmers.

After killing several scholars in a row, the farmers realized that the world has changed and scholars can no longer protect themselves, and paying taxes can only save their lives.

When the tax officials took away their last property, forced them to sell their land, their children, and finally left their hometowns and were displaced, some farmers shouted: No! They raised their hoes and hatchets, and defended their private wealth with force.

There are already a large number of generals in Henan, and they are bandits in troubled times and peace for the people. Many farmers are buried in their homes. As the Luojiu in Xinzhengfu became tighter, fewer and fewer farmers in Henan were living in more and more generals. Many poles that had disappeared were raised again, and after the night fell, they rushed into the villages, counties, and trampled on the dream of a deep mansion and a boudoir.

It is rare to break through the city. Especially now in autumn, after the autumn grain collection, the treasury is most abundant. When you think of those silver and grain, whether it is the newly joined farmers or the old generals who have been rolling in the world for many years, you can't help but shout excitedly and clamor, and let out waves of long howls of unknown significance.

White Wolf!

This is the landmark action of his subordinates, like a wolf, making shrill long howls. In Henan Province, whether it is a officer or a gunman from a wealthy family, he heard these wolves howls and then broke his soul and flew away with him. He had more than 70% of his ability to go in advance. The people were relieved that the white wolf soldiers would not inflict poverty or harm the people, and there was nothing scary about them.

But Nanyang seemed to be different from other places tonight. The closed door was kicked openly by force, and the man holding the fire rushed into the room like a whirlwind. The owner's face just filled with smiles and then condensed.

The intruders were not as unscrupulous as the legendary White Wolf Army. They bought and sold the public. Instead, they knocked the master to the ground with a gun handle and knife handle, and then rushed into the inner room. Not long after, a woman's scream and a man's crazy laughter came.

The tied male owner looked at the intruders with wide eyes, rushed into his ventilated house one by one, and then laughed out from the inside with his pants.
