In the eyes of literate gentry businessmen, Weihaiwei is indeed very strong, but it is stronger in the navy, and stronger in money.

  They don't have many impressions of Weihaiwei's army. The only impression is that when they were confiscated, they only remembered that Weihaiwei's army was fierce and cruel, murderous and murderous.

  But at this moment, looking at the detailed battle report of the Weihaiwei Third Army, they were so shocked that they were speechless. , mobilized three or four hundred large and small artillery pieces, and the smallest artillery shells weighed three catties, and their artillery weights exceeded one thousand catties!"

  "Three or four hundred artillery pieces fired at the same time, and the Shandong Dusifu army on the defensive line was smashed and smashed. It collapsed on the spot, and the artillery broke through the line of defense without wasting much energy!"

  "An army of [-] people, like a ferocious tiger, rushes into the Qingzhou Mansion, unstoppable!"

  "And the Qingzhou prefectural army also resisted extremely tenaciously, but the strength was very different. Under the concentrated artillery fire of a large number of artillery, whether it was a prefecture, a town, or a pass, the city walls were all smashed and smashed into ruins. We can't stop the fierce charge of the infantry and cavalry of our Weihai Guards!!"

  "The power of artillery, attacking the city and breaking the wall, is unstoppable!"

  "The advantage of the musket, the weapon of killing, the platoon of guns and the shooting, just like lining up to be shot, the enemy can't be killed at all, and they will be shot and killed by the platoon of guns from a distance!"

  "In the battle of Qingzhou Prefecture alone, the number of enemy troops who annihilated and captured more than [-] people!!! Although more than [-]% of them are armed Qingzhou Prefecture young men, but our army is like a broken bamboo, and it is invincible and invincible. , After a great battle, the casualties were less than a thousand!!"

  As soon as the voice fell, it immediately caused an uproar in the streets and alleys, and everyone asked loudly in disbelief.

  "Destroy hundreds of thousands of enemies, but less than [-] casualties!!"

  "I heard that right!!"

  "I remember that before we were equipped with muskets and artillery, our Weihai Guards wiped out thousands of enemies, and there were at least thousands of casualties!"

  "The guns and guns, this is too powerful!!!"

  "I've seen artillery, it's really an artifact, it's terrifying when a cannon smashes down.

  It's unimaginable that hundreds of artillery fire at the same time!"

  "The musket is also very powerful. As long as there is no problem with the quality, even the armor can't stop the projectile of the musket within a few dozen steps! Our Weihaiwei Army is equipped with a large number of muskets, and they are protected by iron canned swords and shields. The enemy relies on It's not normal!"

  "Artillery bombardment, musket fire, who can withstand this!"

  "This era is the era of guns and artillery!!"

  "so amazing!!"

  ""

  Everyone, you spoke to me, and quickly described the situation on the battlefield. When I thought of being bombarded by hundreds of artillery pieces, after the bombardment, the dense number of muskets opened fire, and there was nowhere to stop and nowhere to escape. The scene, could not help but shudder in fear.

  Immediately afterwards, he felt his blood boil for his Weihaiwei possessing such a powerful military force and amazing strength.

  "Long Live Weihaiwei!!"

  "Long live Weihaiwei!"

  "Long Live Weihaiwei!!"

  ""

  Suddenly, a loud roar caused a silence, followed by a boiling roar, it seemed that only such a sentence could express their passionate mood.

Chapter [-] Businessmen return to their hearts

  When the people of Weihaiwei were excited by the sudden announcement of the powerful military force and terrifying record, they shouted in excitement.

  At this moment, all the merchants in Weihaiwei were also shocked by the military power announced by Weihaiwei, and they were all shocked.

  "Look at all, look at all, we all underestimate Weihaiwei and Lord Lin!!"

  A famous businessman in Weihaiwei slapped a newspaper on the table, causing the businessmen around him to rush to read it.

  After reading it, there was an uproar and the air was mad.

  "Hey! It's all true that Weihaiwei actually raised an army of [-] troops and entered the Qingzhou Prefecture half a month ago, intending to occupy the entire territory of the six Shandong Prefectures!!"

  "My God! Nearly [-] elite soldiers, hundreds of artillery pieces, and [-]-[-] muskets, this is the strength of Weihaiwei's army!!"

  "Insane, only the land of the two houses has such a powerful army!!"

  "The most terrifying thing is that this is just the army! Don't forget, Weihaiwei also has three terrifying naval fleets!!"

  "Unbelievable, really unbelievable! Two hundred and fifty thousand elite soldiers, and they are still elite soldiers equipped with a large number of muskets and artillery.

  What's even more terrifying is that, without any warning, an army of more than [-] people was used without any impact on the entire Weihaiwei. The strength of this Weihaiwei is terrifying!"

  "Unfathomable! With the use of [-] troops, the prices of grain and other materials in the entire Weihaiwei territory are still stable, which obviously has a large amount of reserves!! It did not cause any traumatic injury or impact on the territory of Weihaiwei. , Weihaiwei's heritage and hidden strength are hard to guess!"

  "Looking around the world, is there any more powerful force than Weihaiwei!"

  "Since the decisive battle of Zhongzhou, Daming was defeated, Dashun's army broke through Tongguan, entered Guanzhong, occupied Guanzhong and became king and hegemony, and officially opened the government and established the government.

  It also means that an unprecedented battle of China is coming.

  And at such a time, Weihaiwei has made its own military actions and military strength public, and it seems that the one from the lord's mansion is very ambitious and also wants to participate in the game of hegemony in China!"

  "If it wasn't for the publication of this newspaper, I wouldn't believe that Weihaiwei actually has the foundation and strength to compete for the world!!"

  "Not only that, the military strength displayed by Weihaiwei has already surpassed that of the Dashun Army, which is now in the limelight. That's the point!!"

  "That's right, Weihaiwei announces its military strength and shows its strength at this time. This is the way of king and hegemony, and it is dignifiedly competing for the hearts and minds of the people!!"

  "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Ming Dynasty after the decisive battle in Zhongzhou has entered the end of the dynasty, and all the nobles in the world have already belonged to the Dashun Dynasty.

  Now that Weihaiwei has suddenly appeared, and its military strength and strength are still overwhelming the Dashun Dynasty, I am afraid that once this news spreads, it will definitely cause a shock in the world!"

  ""

  The merchants of Weihaiwei were talking a lot, besides being shocked, they were still shocked, and the sound of air-conditioning was continuous.

  They were all shocked by the military power disclosed by the lord's mansion and the military action of a large-scale attack on the mountain, each with a solemn and stern look on their faces.

  However, another businessman suddenly came and laughed: "However, we have all entered Weihaiwei's membership, and we have

  And it is a naturalization of the whole family. Weihaiwei is strong, and it is more beneficial to us. Everyone should laugh and frown. I can't wait now. I hope that Weihaiwei will unite the land of Shenzhou, so that our business can be achieved. All over the land of China, occupying the entire market!!”

  As soon as these words came out, all the merchants of Weihaiwei looked at each other in dismay, and then they all reacted and couldn't help laughing.

  "I'm so confused. We and Weihaiwei have already become one with interests. The stronger Weihaiwei is, the bigger our business can be!"

  "Yeah, yeah, I'm so confused, I thought it was the past!!"

  "You can't blame us, you can only blame the man in the lord's mansion, who killed the squires, wealthy businessmen, and officials. The killing was too fierce, too ruthless. Thinking about it makes me feel terrible, and I am naturally frightened!"

  "Hey! In fact, there is nothing to fear. The man in the lord's mansion can easily guess what he is going to do. He will control all the fields in his hands, so that his country can last forever! And only in this way, can he do it, From the mere land of the two prefectures, let’s provide [-] elites!”

  "Actually, it's nothing. How much can I earn from farming now? It's much less than when we do business!!"

  "Yes, as long as the land is handed over, if there is no anger and resentment in the local area, the person in the lord's mansion will be too lazy to care!"

  "This is the real dragon! You can see far away, and only in this way can you accumulate such a powerful strength in a mere area of ​​two prefectures."

  "I admire you!!"

  ""

  The businessmen woke up one after another and realized that they were no longer a member of those rotten and backward gentry groups! They are now businessmen in Weihaiwei, and they are businessmen in the new era! Strong, the more benefits they get, the bigger the business can be.

  Only after ruling China can they occupy the entire market share of China! After they figured out all this, they became excited one by one, and what made them even more ecstatic was that they took refuge early!! The sooner you join a force, the easier it will be to take advantage, and you will be able to seize the opportunity to follow the growth of Weihaiwei and grow together.

  Compared to their counterparts in the south of Daming, they are already far ahead! What excites them even more is that those colleagues in Daming are all frowning and worrying about their future safety.

  And they don't have any burden to say, they can take the opportunity to develop and grow at the fastest speed, seize the market, and earn more silver dollars.

  This thought made the merchants of Weihaiwei feel very happy.

  If the lord's mansion did not announce the military strength of Weihaiwei, it would be difficult to change their minds, but this announcement, the terrifying number of [-] troops, and the formidable combat power that occupied the entire Qingzhou mansion within half a month.

  It made them wake up one after another! A very simple reason, Weihaiwei told everyone in the territory with absolute strength, telling them that they would have a bright and lofty future if they followed the Weihaiwei Lord's Mansion! As an enemy, in the face of the powerful Weihai Guards, the only way to survive is to be crushed! How to choose, almost without consideration! This has already landed, and the fool will continue to go into the sea desperately! Weihaiwei has conquered the hearts and minds of the merchants in the territory with its powerful strength! The merchants are willing to return to their hearts! This is the influence brought by the powerful strength. What more needs to be said, and the strong military power is placed in the On the desktop, people can be obedient.

Chapter [-] Shocked businessmen in the world

  South Zhili, Nanjing, Qinhuai River.

  On an exquisite ship, more than a dozen merchants were gathering.

  One of the businessmen, who looked relatively young, slammed a newspaper onto the table and shouted: "Look at it, look at it!"

  A businessman took the newspaper suspiciously, looked at the simplified Chinese characters that lacked many structures and strokes, and frowned: "What is this!"

  "Newspapers! It's similar to the Daming Official Newspaper, but these newspapers are all printed by private businessmen, and they report news from all over the world and commodity prices. It can be said to be the largest commercial newspaper in Daming!"

  Young businessman beaming.

  The businessman who took over the newspaper nodded thoughtfully, a trace of interest arose in his heart, and he looked at it with difficulty.

  Although simplified characters are very common in this era, they are all simplifications made privately by scholars and have not been standardized, and can only be known by those who are familiar with them.

  Therefore, looking at the simplified characters, you need to guess, which is naturally much more difficult.

  This is the other extreme from those who learn to read traditional Chinese characters in simplified characters.

  If you learn simplified characters, you can understand traditional characters almost [-]% of the time. For those who learn traditional characters, if you want to read simplified characters, it is very difficult.

  "Weihai Weihai Business Daily!"

  The businessman who took the newspaper muttered to himself in doubt, and then suddenly realized: "This Weihaiwei, is it the Weihaiwei who bombarded Yangzhou a few months ago?"

  When the young businessman heard this, he immediately laughed: "It's really that...Weihaiwei, but those who bombarded Yangzhou were all done by businessmen of Weihaiwei, and it doesn't mean Weihaiwei!"

  With such an explanation, the other merchants in the other hall couldn't help but take a deep breath and said in surprise, "No way, how can a merchant possess such a powerful force?"

  "Aren't the merchants in Weihaiwei different from us? Aren't they all from the Ming Dynasty!"

  "Yeah, some businessmen actually bombarded the Yangzhou Prefecture, and forced the Yangzhou prefect to obediently admit to counseling people, this is too domineering!"

  "This is simply a role model for my generation!"

  ""

  After listening to this, the young businessman waved his hand to calm everyone down, and explained: "It's nothing, those Weihaiwei merchants are all armed merchants, and what is called an armed merchant is the same as those merchants who sailed on the sea in Xiyi, because they went to The place is too dangerous, there are too many pirates and robbers, so for safety, they all install artillery on the merchant ships, and the guards in their hands are equipped with muskets, just to protect themselves!"

  "The strength of these armed merchants is unbelievably powerful in our eyes, but in the eyes of those in power in Weihaiwei, that is a dog that is let out. If you wave your hand, you can make those armed merchants shake their heads!"

  It’s okay not to explain this, but once explained, the businessmen around couldn’t sit still, and they all showed an eye-opening look, and even complained: “This is still a dog, this kind of dog, we also want to do it, what? Like us in Nanzhili, it is simply a pig in the eyes of the gentry and officials, and it will be slaughtered when it is fattened!"

  The situation of the businessmen of Ming Dynasty is so miserable! They are businessmen, ordinary businessmen, not rich.

  Rich businessmen and businessmen are two kinds of life. Because rich businessmen are essentially a member of the gentry officials, their interests collude and use power to monopolize one side of the market, thereby becoming rich.
