Chapter seven hundred and fifteen

The matters that the court asked for advice were not very difficult for Yang Meng. What he had to face now was really difficult!

"Third Master, this is gold and silver transported by British merchants recently. I'm afraid there will be something wrong with Tianjin!"

A pile of newly cast gold and silver blocks were placed in front of Yang Meng. Although these things were a little rough, the handwriting on them was clearly visible. I am afraid that the gold and silver hidden in the Holy Library of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom would also warn me of using such gold and silver, right?

"Taichen, what is the scale of the funds? What do Cen Yuying say?"

Whatever you are afraid of, Yang Meng's purpose of keeping the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is not to let them join forces with England. Yang Meng's purpose is to continuously increase the military power in his hands...

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom also traded with foreign merchants before, but their main source of wealth was silk brocade woven by Jiangning weavers. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had no need for cash transactions. If the gold and silver were released in the holy warehouse, it would be considered a normal transaction. Once the quantity was huge, it would be a complete payment for arms transactions.

"One hundred thousand taels of gold, more than eight hundred thousand silver, and more than seven hundred thousand official silver and scattered silver.

Cen Yuying's reply was that there have been no large number of foreign ships entering the Yangtze River waterway recently.”

After hearing this amount of funds, Yang Meng felt that he had missed something. Without accurate information, he was a little confused for a while.

"Let Ziqi do it!"

"Third Master, Ziqi went to the Naval Academy and it took him half a day to get back."

"Turn it! No! This is the deposit! Crimea, damn! We ignored the batch of armies in the Crimean War.

Taichen, Andrei. Did you sell us a batch of old weapons some time ago?"

It involves the ordnance. It is impossible for England to sell the ordnance in the Qing Dynasty. In today's world arms market, only Militaria sells active equipment, even better equipment than the current one. Most of the ordnance leaked from European and American countries are retired or seized in war.

During this period, I haven't heard of any country having a large number of ordnances retired. It's easy to guess where the large number of ordnances came from. There is only one war in Crimea in the near future. I'm afraid that this batch of ordnances was the one that England promised to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?

"Yes! We made two batches, and England also sent one batch, but the categories of these firearms were messy, and many of them were not batch products. After three transactions, we made a request to them to put these old weapons together in batches, and then there was no news. This was before the battle of Humen!"

No matter how old the weapons are, as long as they can be used, they can be repaired, Yang Meng will take them away, but there are not batches of weapons. Yang Meng doesn't want them, but unexpectedly, he made a fuss about this. Is there a lot of such weapons in the hands of Britain and France?

"How is the quality of the firearm?"

"It's really not very good. Some guns are much worse than brown Beth. Because they are too bad, we don't care much about it!"

To put it bluntly, Ding Taichen made a mistake. Crimean guns cannot be in bulk. It is very likely that Britain and France will not look down on these guns, and they did not care much when transporting them. After hesitating, the war between the Humen broke out. At that time, Britain and France had already joined forces. It would not be in the interests of both countries if they sold arms to the Qing Dynasty.

"Damn it! There are quite a lot of guns in this batch, and it is likely that they have arrived in Tianjing. Zeng Zuofeng and the other two are more careful and would rather be more conservative than lose on the front line!

Ask Yiliang's Howard, how did the new Deresey be equipped with a five-round magazine? Has the mass production done?

How was the No. 14 guns on the other side of the West Mountain? Mass production of No. 14 guns in a short period of time. During this period, Yiliang's main task is to build a production line of 300,000 five-speed Dresses per year. If No. 14 guns can be mass-produced, they can be directly produced with one million units a year!"

In recent years, Yang Meng has hoarded a large number of new guns in Yunnan. Now the new army in Yunnan is equipped with single-shot paper-shell Dresey and single-shot paper-shell Dresey and Hall. In the warehouse, millions of Colts that can pop up Zuolun's copper shell bombs may have been hoarded.

Yang Meng knew the development process of the rifle. The single-shot paper-case version of the Dereser is the world's number one rifle in terms of range and loading speed. None of them said that after Yang Meng's modification, this gun can be called a modern rifle except for the paper-case bullet being a little behind.

In fact, the paper-shell version of Dresses and Hall, and the copper-shell version of Dresses and Hall are the same thing. The paper-shell bullets and Yang Meng's design looks exactly like the copper-shell bullets.

There is no room for transformation for Hall's gun, but the Dresses are different. With the magazine and shell-dumping device, it is a new generation of massacre tools. It can definitely dominate the killing speed for five rounds at a time.

As for the No. 14 gun that Yang Meng mentioned, it is the m14 he modified. As long as this thing produces energy, Yang Meng can lead the army to dominate the world within three to five years.

"Oh... the five-round magazine Dresses can already be mass-produced, but the annual output of 300,000 is probably difficult!"

Since the Third Master came to Guangzhou, Ding Taichen not only had to deal with matters in the five major commercial ports, but also had to work part-time as Yang Meng's housekeeper. Now Mrs. Zhiqing is focusing on taking care of her children, and these errands have fallen on Ding Taichen's head.

The top was open and the mouth was broken. Now Yiliang's new Delais production is only more than 10,000 yuan a year, which is thirty times at once, and it costs millions of dollars to fill the hole!

"What's the point? Just modify the previous equipment, and Hall and the single-machine Dresse stopped production! Just leave only a batch of maintenance equipment. I'm afraid that the retired machinery will be enough to ensure a production of 500,000 per year, right?

The five-shot Dresses had a production of 300,000 yuan. The remaining machinery was brought to the vicinity of Xishan to prepare for the mass production of No. 14 guns. The box cannon looks good, but the steel is too poor and extremely durable. Master Ge has stepped up some things. I have given him a lot of things. Within two years, the box cannon and No. 14 will be mass-produced!"

Challenging Europe and the United States, Yang Meng had no systematic industry, a deep knowledge base, no fleet across the seven seas, and no soldiers who had been through battle formations. The only thing he could rely on was the population of 40 million in the Qing Dynasty.

As long as the number of guns is enough, in such an era, there are more people holding guns in their hands. Whoever is the boss? As for naval battles and artillery battles, they are not as good as the human sea tactics. If you come for 100,000, I will pay a million, and I will be more advanced than the guns. I will be ten times more numerous than yours. Even if you come with a cannon, I am afraid you will not be your opponent, right?

"knew!"

The Third Master’s answer is a way to save money. If the single-player Deres and Hall are stopped, the investment from Yiliang will be only a few hundred thousand or hundreds of thousands of taels of silver at most. It can only be considered a small amount of money.

"Let Ziqi come back soon. The Taiping Army is probably already connected with Britain and France. Cen Yuying has no return. It is very likely that they were trading at sea. The number in the early stage should not be very large, at most 50,000 to 100,000. We need to deal with the Taiping Army soon!

In addition, we will sort out the guns in stock in Guangzhou and Yunnan and sort out all the smoothbore guns. Zeng Zuofeng's men still need to be equipped. Let's stock up on 100,000 in Jiujiang first!"

The number of dead people from cold weapons to hot weapons is far different. Zeng Zuofeng and the other three teams cooperated to deal with the Taiping Army in Jiangnan. On average, it would be nice to kill hundreds of people a day.

Since Yang Meng left, thousands of annihilation wars have basically disappeared in Jiangnan. Most of the time, thousands of people fought and the number of casualties was only a few hundred. Once a large number of guns were used, the number of casualties in the early stages of the war was the most terrifying. If you might get rid of thousands or tens of thousands of people a day, all adults were adults. It was not worth it to be filled in like this!

If you change the musket and fire for a few years, the number of strong men who may not be killed or injured will have to be millions, and there are millions. Yang Meng has enough to organize an expeditionary force. Why bother to kill his own people?

Since he came to Guangzhou, Qin Ziqi has been very busy. Shadow has a lot of overseas affairs, but the Third Master has more things to do. Just now, he selected a group of Shadow members who are proficient in foreign languages ​​in the Naval Affairs Academy. The Third Master's call came again and hurried back to the Guangzhou Wharf. When he saw the gold and silver cubes on the Third Master's table, Qin Ziqi's face changed directly.

"Third Master, is the British and French traded with the Taiping Army?"

"Hmm! Do you know this?"

"Just just learned that a few days ago, two sea boats equipped with firearms passed by Malacca. The number of firearms in the two ships is probably 50,000 or 60,000?"

"Is there any news in Tianjin?"

"It's slower there, and it usually takes ten days to get the message."

"With these firearms, Yang Xiuqing is afraid that he will start to make trouble. Can he send a blood shadow team to bring five hundred Yazi into the city in the near future?

There are many things in Tianjin that we want to protect.”

"This matter is not easy! If dozens of people are okay, hundreds of people will be difficult!

But if Shi Dakai takes action, it would be fine if thousands of people are not allowed!"

As the person who knows the Third Master of the Yang family best, when he heard Yang Meng's words, Qin Ziqi knew that his Third Master was thinking about his Holy Library again. Is there anything in Tianjin that needs the Yang family's protection? Maybe!

"Well! Your idea is good. Just try Mr. Shi's thoughts. Uncle Ding sent three thousand Yazi to let them grow their hair soon. Remember! When entering the city, you must be fully armed so as not to be plotted by Mr. Shi.

Sanqian Yazi, even the Shi Guard wants to come to me, and I can also let the four gates of Tianjing open. I missed this good opportunity. All I have to wait for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is massacre!

Ships and tunnels, can the people over you do?"

There are some things that Yang Meng doesn’t need to be explicit about. The current holy database is probably worth more than tens of millions? They will only enjoy themselves when they are in Hong Yang’s hands. In their hands, they can help hundreds of millions of refugees.

"These things have been done since they entered Tianjing. As long as the city can succeed, we will be lucky! If there is a big turmoil in Tianjing, it would be great!"

Shadows are all-encompassing, and there are also tomb robbers and miners. They can dig up authentic people, but they can't help but shadows. Moreover, shadows are in the authentic tunnels of Tianjing, which can be used to carry a carriage.

"Hmph... It will definitely be a mess at that time, so let's do it! Check the troops under Yang Xiuqing and Wei Changhui in the near future. If you can use it, you might as well win over it. After all, it's better to die in the internal strife. It's better to die on Yu Hui's battlefield than to die in Yu Hui's battlefield.

Lin Li on the other side of Hong Kong Island also wants to give them some warnings. The direct personnel of the Eastern Palace and the Northern Palace are the most suitable!

Zeng Zuofeng should know if you send someone to leak the military weapons. A few days ago, the imperial court asked about taxation plans. I happened to have a plan. This matter still needs Zeng Zuofeng's help!"

There are actually not many serious wars. It is rare in many years. Many times, wars are mixed with too many conspiracies. In Yang Meng's hands, not only the Taiping Army is cannon fodder, but even the Yazi, who has chosen thousands of times, is also cannon fodder. He is a politician who uses any means to achieve his goal, and many times the result is the most important.

"This is simple. Third Master, should you cheat He Chun?"

Qin Ziqi is much more careful about the overall situation in Jiangnan than Yang Meng. Qin Ziqi can easily understand the sinister meaning in Yang Meng's words.

"Touminga or He Chun will succeed! Just a big defeat, don't let the whole army be wiped out, that way, the court will be scared!"

Intimidation is also a means for the court, but the court's ability to withstand is very limited, so I'm afraid it will be a waste of time!

"Feng Guifen from Jiangsu and Zhejiang!"
