East Factory Governor

Chapter 795 British East India Company

After Hua Shen reported the current progress of the incitement work in the Ava area, Qin Shuhuai expressed his satisfaction.

He said, "According to what you said, there are at least a dozen secret organizations in the Ava area that secretly oppose Thalon? And the two largest ones have reached thousands of people?"

Hua Shen nodded and said, "That's right, but this is only what we know. Due to the pressure of leaking secrets, there may be many organizations that we don't even know about. And it is foreseeable that these resistance organizations will continue to grow. Once something happens to him, They will rebel against each other."

Qin Shuhuai nodded and said, "It would be great if we could transport some weapons to them. Is there any way?"

The old Taoist said, "Awa is in the middle of Dongwu. If you want to transport weapons there, you will encounter layers of inspections. I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult."

Hua Chen thought for a while and said, "It is said that there is a Xiyi country in Dongwu who rented a place there, and they have a good relationship with Talong. If they are asked to transport weapons to the Ava area, they will definitely be able to deliver them."

Qin Shuhuai asked, "Which country?"

Hua Chen scratched his scalp, thought for a long time and said, "I can't call you at the moment, what is Li's name?"

Qin Shuhuai patted his thigh, "Yes, it's called England, right?"

Hua Chen said, "Yingguili, that's what it seems to be called."

That's right.

Qin Shuhuai was sure that it must be someone from the British East India Company.

They have arrived in Myanmar decades ago, set up a branch there, and have been very friendly with the successive rulers of Myanmar.

Of course, at this moment, the British East India Company did not dare to colonize Burma, at most it was legally trading with Burma, and it would also spend a lot of money to manage the royal family.

If the British East India Company is willing to help, then it is very feasible to send weapons to the Ava area.

It’s just that in my memory, the British East India Company adopted a neutral policy in Burma at this time, that is, they would not intervene in any conflicts between races or small countries, and in the end they would cooperate with whoever was in power.

Will they cooperate with Daming?
Qin Shuhuai thought that they would.

If you look into why the British want to be neutral, you will find that the root cause is that they are not yet able to influence the situation in Burma. In other words, they are just businessmen who want to do business safely.

So if Ming and Burma clash, can they still remain neutral?

Justice is only within the range of the cannon, and the present Dutch are their example.

The Dutch are now losing one by one ports in the Far East because of their deadly fight with Ming Dynasty. The fleet in the Far East is trembling like walking on thin ice, and if they are not careful, they become the prey of the Ming army navy.

Since last month, the Dutch have invited Chinese maritime merchants to come forward to deal with them, hoping to have a talk with Daming.However, Qin Shuhuai has not agreed to the peace talks until now, and even ordered the navy to continue to search for traces of the Dutch on the golden waterway.

Why do you do this?

Of course, it is to set a negative example and tell all Westerners who are ready to move: the Far East is the territory of Ming Dynasty!
Now the Daming Navy has the potential to dominate the Far East, and the British must have seen this.

If they refuse to cooperate with Daming, then Zheng Zhilong can ensure that all ships of the British East India Company will never leave any port in the Far East.

At that time, what good is their neutrality policy in Burma?

Even if the Burmese royal family gave them all the trade rights in the whole of Burma, they would not be able to trade!

From a larger background, as early as the Wanli period, Queen Elizabeth I of England wrote to Emperor Wanli, applying to Wanli for greater trading rights for Britain in a tone close to pleading.

How earnest was the Queen of England at that time?The beginning of the letter reads: Elizabeth, Queen of Destiny England, to His Majesty the greatest and invincible king. The whole letter is written respectfully and meticulously. A respectful exchange.

This proves that the British have a strong desire to make good friends with Ming Dynasty. Compared with this, it is obvious that little Myanmar is too insignificant.

So Qin Shuhuai believed that the administrators of the Burmese branch of the British East India Company could see this clearly.

So I called Li Jingting and said to him, "Jingting, please help me write a letter to Zheng Zhilong, asking him to get in touch with the people from the Yinggui Lidong Indian Company in Dongwu, Myanmar as soon as possible. Ask him to follow up with me. Those Xiyi have a good talk about the matter of cooperating to transport weapons to Ava. Of course, you don’t have to be so straightforward at the beginning, you can take your time, and trust Zheng Zhilong until the end, he is a veteran in dealing with Xiyi.”

Li Jingting nodded, and immediately went out to draft a draft.

After talking about the business, of course the routine nonsense began.

The old Taoist immediately said, "Boss, we will get married in two or three days, are we all ready? This time I come back with Lao Hua, but I plan to drink the wedding wine before leaving."

Hua Chen laughed immediately after hearing this, "Hey, that's exactly what I mean."

Meng Hu, who was next to him, couldn't speak for a while when he was talking about the Dongwu issue, but when he heard about Lai San'er's wedding, he jumped up immediately.

"There are still three days, haha, there are still three days!"

The old man answered with a smile, "Yes, there are still three days, hehe."

Hua Chen put his chin on his face and smiled wickedly, "Hehe, that's good! We have to give him a backup gift."

All three of them were gearing up, and it seemed that they had been thinking about this "big gift" for a long time.

Seeing their appearance, Qin Shuhuai couldn't help laughing.

He had already heard that Lai San'er came to file a complaint, saying that Lao Dao, Hua Chen, and Meng Hu were plotting to punish him at the wedding a month ago, and even Zhang Xiao, who was usually honest and honest, was involved.

Not only that, it is said that Jinyiwei on Li Jingting's side and Dongchang on Li Daliang's side are eager to try. According to him, these gangs are ruthless and merciless, and they are afraid that they can use any harmful tricks. , insisted that Qin Shuhuai come forward to help him "mediate".

However, Qin Shuhuai didn't agree to anything other than expressing his sympathy.

Who made you be so mean?Which of these guys have you never provoked?Only now did I realize that I usually "offended" too many people, is there still time?

Just as he was talking, Lai San'er came in.

As soon as he came in, he saw everyone looking at him with shining eyes, and he was scared at that time.

Licking his smiling face, he hurriedly said, "Hey, Lao Meng, Lao Dao, and Lao Hua are all there? Great, great, have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, go to my house to eat some? Look, I haven't given you candy yet! Really! , I'm so busy."

Meng Hu chuckled, "San'er, you are busy with your work, we can just make do with the helper's place. Don't worry, everyone will definitely make it lively for you on the day of your wedding."

The old Taoist added, "Unforgettable for a lifetime."

Hua Shen added, "Unforgettable."

Lai San'er was about to cry, "I don't."

Then he said to Qin Shuhuai, "Guangzhu, did you see that, I just said that these bastards are going to make trouble?"

Qin Shuhuai shrugged, "Is there? What did they say?"

"Didn't you see this yin and yang tone?"

"I don't see it."

Meng Hu, Lao Dao, and Hua Chen also said in unison, "No wow!"

Lai San'er had no choice but to be tough, pointing at these people and said, "Don't forget that you are all bachelors, there will be a day of marriage, right? If you are unkind to me this time, don't Blame me for being unrighteous."

All three of them curled their lips, indicating that you are free.

Lai San'er was speechless, so he turned his head angrily and went to find his brother in Baihutang.

Originally, he had chosen twenty of the strongest men in the hall to be best men, but now he understood that twenty would definitely not be enough, and without fifty best men, he would not even think about the bridal chamber that night.
