Alchemy Greater China

[It's Tuesday, ask for tickets and collect!In addition, I would like to thank Tianhai Xiangyun for his generous reward, ahem, this week, thanking him has become a routine!Do other students who like this book also express it? It's only 100 starting coins, but it's an endless encouragement for me!After tipping, there will be guest roles in this book! 】

Long Hao put Rong Hong's gently head back carefully, turned his head and stared at Zhou Bodang and Lei Long who were following behind, and said silently: What the hell is going on!Get out and tell the truth!

Then the group left the cabin, only Wang Botao and Wang Langzhong were left to diagnose Rong Hong's condition. (Baidu search: follow the dream, read the novel the fastest update)

As soon as he arrived on the deck, Long Hao couldn't help it anymore, and said, "Tell me, how did Rong Hong get on our home number? Also, what happened to the 36 children?"

Lei Long moved his lips but didn't speak, but Zhou Bodang suddenly wailed and called out to Tianqu: "Master, we were wronged too! It's this old man Rong who begged for nothing to follow us onto the boat! "

Seeing Zhou Bodang playing tricks, Lei Long's mouth twitched, and he sighed: "Young Master, I'll say it..."

That day, the Homecoming set sail from Seattle and crossed the Pacific Ocean. The first stop was Shanghai, China, an international city of "ten miles of foreign land, rich in paper and gold". The second stop was Dagu, Tianjin, where Zheng Gongxiao got off the ship and said he was going to After a trip to Kyoto, the third stop was Lushun Port, where there was a Beiyang navy. Lei Long came this time to see if he could persuade all the frustrated Beiyang officers and soldiers to go to Alaska to serve Long Hao.

Homecoming stopped at Lushun, Zhou Bodang led a group of infantry guards, and hurried to the place where Long Zhengxing died to collect the old troops, but he happened to encounter Zhang Yuehu fighting with a group of people, and was at a disadvantage.Zhou Bodang immediately joined in, broke up the enemy, rescued Zhang Yuehu, and tortured the captives, and found that they were the subordinates of the culprit who killed Long Zhengxing! !

Unceasingly, Zhou Bodang and Zhang Yuehu sneaked into Liaoyang City, captured the banner man Dutong (the culprit), and under interrogation, unexpectedly discovered a shocking secret!Zhou Bodang didn't look reckless on the outside, but his thoughts were meticulous, he immediately made a decision, and the rest of the old troops did not recruit, and took this banner man with him and some prisoners, and rushed back to Lushun overnight.

On board the home ship, there is an American flag flying, which gives the people outside the customs eight courage, and they dare not come to search for the ship just to control everyone!

Speaking of this, Zhou Bodang gritted his teeth and said, "Young master, it was this Bala River that killed the master and his wife. His heart is left to you, and you will dig it out yourself later!"

Long Hao nodded: "The hatred of killing one's father is unshakable. You go ahead and say, I will solve this Bala River with my own hands!" Although Long Hao is not the original Long Hao, since he has this body and is a child, Naturally, we must take revenge with filial piety!

Homecoming stayed in Lushun Port for more than half a month, but Leilong's digging in the Beiyang Navy did not go smoothly, except for a few buddies who were also in the reserve navy who expressed their willingness to go to foreign countries with Leilong. The other naval officers and generals either scolded or politely declined, and one of them almost wanted to report Thunder Dragon to the superior as a fugitive.

As a result, Lei Long had to lift the anchor and set sail. Of course, Lei Long and Zhang Yuehu's return was also one of the reasons.

In fact, it’s no wonder that Thunder Dragon’s words were unfavorable. It was 1890. Although the Beiyang Navy had no funds allocated two years ago, after all, the newly purchased cruisers such as Zhiyuan and Jingyuan could still be used for training. The morale of all the officers and soldiers is still high. Should they abandon their families and go to the United States based on the words of Thunder Dragon?

It's really a bit difficult!

After listening to Long Hao, he was neither happy nor sad, and comforted Lei Long: On the original track of history, Japan, the biggest naval opponent of the Qing Dynasty, did not yet show its naval power at this time, and the Japanese navy was in order to deal with Beiyang Ding, The "Three Scenic Ships" of the Second Fleet were all launched and built after 1891. Therefore, although Beiyang at this time showed signs of decline, in the Far East, it was still the most powerful navy in Asia and the sixth in the world!

Long Hao thought to himself: maybe in another three years, we can get better results when we wait until Japan is aggressive and Beiyang is late to recruit people!

Homecoming departed from Lushun Port and drove back to Shanghai. Since digging the corners of Beiyang failed, the young master's order must be followed to recruit as many skilled craftsmen as possible to increase the technical team of the Dragon Scale Party.

Back in Shanghai again, the 30 US dollars remitted by Long Hao also arrived in the account, Lei Long and the others immediately took action, using the name of 'Dream Island Company' to recruit technicians in Daqing!

Dream.is' job advertisements were published in "Shenzhen" and other well-known domestic business newspapers. Its generous salary and five-year commitment to return to China immediately attracted many people to sign up!Even Li Hongzhang and Li Zhongtang knew about it. After hearing that the recruiter was a company registered in the United States by a European royal princess, he actually came to visit in person!

Long Hao was surprised when he heard the words: "You guys actually met Li Hongzhang?!"

Who is Li Hongzhang?Needless to say, Long Hao was surprised that this "famous minister of Zhongxing in the Qing Dynasty" didn't stay in Beijing City well, so why did he come to Shanghai?

Lei Long replied: "Master, I don't know something. Li Hongzhang has opened factories in Shanghai such as Machine Weaving Layout, Telegraph Bureau, and Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau. Recently, the above-mentioned gardens have to be repaired, and the finances are tight. He often comes to Shanghai to meet with foreign businessmen, hoping to obtain them. investment!"

"Oh!" Long Hao responded, and snorted, "Looking for a tiger's skin, don't look at him as an extremely human minister in the Qing Dynasty, what good can he get from a foreigner?"

As Long Hao said, Li Hongzhang was indeed bumping into walls at that time. He took a lot of hard and soft nails from foreign firms and swallowed a lot, but he didn't get any loans. "Dream Island in the United States recruits Chinese laborers with 'skilled skills' to go to the United States to find their dreams.

You must know that Li Hongzhang dealt with foreigners all his life, and was regarded by Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi as "the only person in the Qing Empire capable of competing with the world powers". Not deep!To sum it up in one sentence, Li Hongzhang thinks that foreigners are despicable, sanctimonious and despicable people who have no profit, cannibalism, and recruit Chinese workers with generous treatment? ?

scam!Absolutely a scam!

Ever since, Li Hongzhang sent his confidants to investigate first, to look for those who were recruited, and to try out what kind of company this dream.is company is!

After all, Li Hongzhang was old-fashioned and steady, and with the spirit of letting go and not making mistakes, he secretly sent someone to investigate, and overtly asked the American ambassador to check, and then handed over the invitation letter and came to the door in person!

The result of a series of practices surprised Li Zhongtang. This "dream island" seems to be really serious about recruiting Chinese workers!It's not what Mr. Li Zhongtang imagined: to deceive the talents of our country, and sell them to the "leather bag company" that does coolies in the United States!

Why?Thanks also to the foreigners on the Homecoming: several Frenchmen and Princess Melissa's entourage!

Li Hongzhang led people to board the ship to visit, and Lei Long and others would naturally not be so stupid as to welcome the guests as hosts, so a Frenchman and a Spaniard became the two "responsible officers" for Dream Island Company's trip to the Qing Dynasty. people'.

A series of authentic French and Spanish immediately cleared up most of Li Hongzhang's doubts, and the American registration certificate and the Spanish royal family's certificate presented next made Li Hongzhang even more surprised. The 'Made in Game' of the Spanish Princess!

It turned out that according to Lei Long's instructions, the two 'responsible persons' explained to Mr. Li that dream.is was run by Princess Melissa of the Spanish royal family. Princess Sha received the kindness of a Chinese American living in the United States, so she came to Daqing this time, firstly to find business opportunities, and secondly to recruit a lot of talented Chinese workers to repay the kindness of that Chinese benefactor!

Li Hongzhang patted his chest and assured that the Qing Dynasty had enough, as long as the benefits offered by Mengmengdao Company were true, he, Mr. Zhongtang, would do everything he could to promote it responsibly!

Lei Long said: "Li Hongzhang's appeal is really good. It cost nearly a thousand dollars to advertise in newspapers before, and only a dozen or so people were recruited. But after his visit, in the next three days, a few more people came out." Ten talented people with special skills came to sign up!"

Long Hao said with a smile: "So, this Lord Zhongtang has done a good thing for us?"

Zhou Bodang took the opportunity to interrupt: "Hey, don't mention it! Young master, you don't know how scheming this old man Li is... Well, this old man Rong was provoked by him!"

A few days after Li Hongzhang visited Home Home, Li Hongzhang sent another person to meet with the person in charge of Dream Island, but this trip was secret and unknown, because the two sides discussed a confidential matter!

Li Hongzhang's people pointed out: The Ministry of Criminal Justice recently sentenced a group of masters and craftsmen of the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau to be exiled to Southeast Asia. It happened that this matter was handled by Li Zhongtang. Li Hongzhang was willing to "sell" each person at a price of 300 taels of silver. To Dream Island Corporation.

When Lei Long and others heard it, Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau?Isn't that the Mawei Shipyard (also known as the Mawei Shipping Bureau) supervised by Zuo Zongtang in 1866? The principals and craftsmen in it are the first batch of national treasure-level talents in China to study modern warships! 300 taels ($200) each, what a steal!
