Vol 13 Chapter 18: history of change

Popular recommendation:
Besides, after Fang Linyan left from Qiao's shop, he went directly to Wang Wu, and said apologetically:
[Recommendation, Mimi reading and chasing books is really easy to use, download it here and you can try it. 】
"I'm really letting you see a joke today, but the business is not going well. I thought I could bring the money back to Master Song today, but I didn't expect something to happen."
Yes, it is estimated that there is still an hour left, and it is already July 6, 1894. In the history of Fang Linyan's control, the Gaosheng has sunk to the bottom of the sea long ago, and the bad news should have been transmitted along the telegram, but Still no news till now.....
Then the biggest possibility is that history has been changed!
As far as this is concerned, Fang Linyan actually predicted it, but once something really happened, this feeling of being out of his control was really a bit frustrating.
But at the moment Lin Yan was in desperation, so he could only silently recite the words "Let it go" in his heart.
Wang Wu heard what Fang Linyan said, he laughed and said:
"I've heard about you, Brother Hu, before. For men and young people, who hasn't done a few ridiculous things. It's good if you know your mistakes and correct them."
"Besides, it's nothing to run around in vain today. After all, we don't have anything to worry about. We'll just go to Chongwenmen when we're full and digest."
Wang Wu's words were light. In fact, for today's matter, he actually pushed a very good deal, that is, to a concubine who is full of officials and go back to save relatives.
This kind of work is light and easy, and there are rewards on the way, the other party's offer is also generous, and the risk of being hijacked is small. It can be said that it is not encountered twice a year.
But Wang Wu simply dismissed the matter and cared for Fang Linyan's side, while he made up his mind not to take a penny. Fortunately, the guards and brothers around Wang Wu were with him. Congenial, no one said a second word.
Fang Linyan nodded, and then took out two silver coins to pay for the tea. Wang Wu refused to accept it at this time. Fang Linyan immediately changed his words and said that he would invite everyone to drink.
This big drink didn't dissipate until midnight. Fang Linyan also put aside his worries at this time and got himself drunk. Anyway, there were drones and Laurent staring at the safety.
When he woke up the next morning, Fang Linyan found that the sun was shining directly into his room. He wanted to ask, but he immediately responded. If there was any news, Laurent would definitely be the first to ask. Notify yourself in time.
At this time, Fang Linyan didn't have the mind to do the rest. Although he didn't have the appetite, he still ordered the food to be forced into it. As a space fighter for so many years, one of the experiences he has concluded is that when he can eat, he must Be full ------- Because the situation is changing rapidly, you can't tell when the next meal will be!
After eating, Fang Linyan took a deep breath and began to take out a portable fitter, and began to process the parts. At this time, he processed it by himself, and felt that there were seven perfect parts in total.
This is the advantage of not being overwhelmed by art. Although this powerful skill has been temporarily forgotten at the time of the moon, Fang Linyan has never forgotten the production of related mechanical cores, and he wants to summon more types of mechanical summons. Organisms require different mechanical cores.
If it is a random summon, the uncontrollability is too strong! A very powerful creature like Xiuma, the lion king, has a bit of a taste of ignorance...Fang Linyan doesn't like this feeling.
Therefore, these perfect parts, Fang Linyan finally wanted to use to summon a powerful and controllable creature. The benchmark is of course the strength of the Lion King Xiuma and the character of Rubos.
Watching the components change little by little in their own hands, forming, then scribing, chiseling, sawing, filing, drilling, reaming, countersinking, reaming, etc. A series of operations are methodical, Fang Linyan's The mood quickly calmed down.
Time also passed little by little with his actions.
Suddenly, the door of the hotel was suddenly opened, and Laurent walked in with great strides. Obviously, he got the latest news from his special channel, and then the other party Lin Yan nodded directly.
Fang Linyan's face was relieved, knowing that the news of the Gaosheng incident must have been passed.
The Gaosheng incident is a landmark event in which the Sino-Japanese confrontation escalated and entered a full-scale war. It is also known as the Battle of Toshima. Simply put, in the place of Toshima, the Japanese ship Naniwa sank the Gaosheng. This ship carried thousands of people. A few Chinese soldiers.
It is worth mentioning that the High Sheng was a British merchant ship. When it was sunk, five British people on the ship were buried at the bottom of the sea together, causing an uproar in the UK.
It is precisely because of the Gaosheng incident that a wave of hostility to Japan has formed in the United Kingdom, and Song Yuren's plan (to attack Japan directly with the help of British power) has the possibility of being implemented.
"Master, compared with the situation you described, this battle can be said to have changed a lot." Laurent said straight to the point.
Fang Linyan Road:
"How big is it?"
Laurent said:
"The Battle of Toshima has been upgraded!"
Fang Linyan said in shock:
"The Takasho is an unarmed merchant ship. How can the Naniwa be upgraded to the Japanese army? The Naniwa is a cruiser! There are more than 70 main guns, rapid-fire guns, and machine guns on it, and there are four more. Torpedo tubes."
Laurent said:
"The news I got here is that the Gaosheng has been transformed. Not only that, but there is also a mysterious ship called the Keshan that departed with the Gaosheng."
"So this battle was originally a battle between the Takasho and the Japanese ships, but in the end it became the Takasho plus the Keshan VS the Naniwa!"
Fang Linyan said in shock:
"There is such a thing!"
Laurent said:
"That's exactly what the intelligence I received said."
Fang Linyan took a deep breath:
"So in the last battle, the Japanese actually lost?"
Laurent said:
"After the Naniwa was injured, reinforcements were also called. The two sides fought fiercely at sea for a long time. In the end, the Gaosheng and the Keshan were both sunk, but a torpedo boat that the Japanese came to reinforce was also sunk."
"What's more, the high rise came to an island before it sank, and the thousands of soldiers it carried, and even about $88 million in salaries, had all been transported to the shore, and the British Jardine Company was very angry. , has already started operations in the country.

"Not only that, there were thirteen East India Company members and thirty-seven Russians on the sunk Keshan. Now the whole international situation has become a mess, and the Russians are already screaming. Blood debts must be paid in blood."
Hearing this series of news, Fang Linyan suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.
In normal history, the sinking of the Takasho was actually an independent "runaway" behavior of the Japanese navy. At that time, the Japanese army even showed a semi-independent state, and incidents on the Xiake often occurred.
Later, as long as the prime minister who does not conform to the wishes of the military will either get out of the way or be assassinated, he is so domineering!
At that time, Japanese Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi even learned about the Takasho incident from the Shanghai telecommunication, not from the naval report, which shows the abnormal situation in his country.
The Japanese side directly carried out crisis public relations, and even spent money to bribe the British media. In the end, the matter was suppressed. Some voices in the United Kingdom believe that supporting Japan to confront Russia is the most beneficial choice for the British Empire in East Asia at present.
And unfortunately, these voices narrowly persuaded Congress to "ignore" Japan's offense.
But now, the situation is very complicated! Britain and Russia are both bitter masters, but the conflict of interests between the United Kingdom and Russia in Europe is very fierce. For this trivial matter, it is impossible for the two sides to join forces to indict Japan.
If Russia goes to war with the Japanese over this matter, the United Kingdom might have to give Japan a great deal of support.
Of course, no one cares about the feelings of Li Gongzhang and the Qing government, because in the eyes of the foreign powers, they do not deserve to have feelings...
Fang Linyan narrowed his eyes, and he quickly realized that someone was trying to complicate things, but only now did he realize a huge possibility:
"If the Russo-Japanese War started early, wouldn't the Sino-Japanese War of the Jiawu period not start at all?"
"If this kind of thing happens, then your main mission will be a complete failure! And the guy who has usurped the entire history beyond recognition will undoubtedly reap the most fertile reward."
"By the way, the essence of this time is a national war! The camp is the skin color! The Chinese nation, the Tatar nation, the Yamato nation of the Japanese, the Germanic nation of the West, the Russian nation of Russia, the English nation...all of them. Each nation has its own demands!"
At this time, Fang Linyan adjusted the progress bar of the war again to take a look, and found a strange thing. After the sea battle of Toshima, the winning rate of the Chinese side suddenly jumped to .1%, and the winning rate of the Japanese side suddenly jumped to .1%. That reduces to 68.79%, which adds up to exactly 91%.
So where did the 9% win rate go?
Obviously, a third party has appeared, and this 9% probability of disappearing implies that the final winner of the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War may not be China or Japan, but a third party!
After hesitating for a while, Fang Linyan shook his head and readjusted his thoughts to the status quo:
"Forget it, for now, the overall trend is still in my favor... The expansion of the Toshima naval battle will have a devastating impact on the shipping industry in the near future. In this case, I will hoard The increase in imported goods is bound to be even greater."
"No matter how the situation changes, the war between China and Japan, the battle of luck between the Chinese nation and the Yamato nation will be the core. I am a human being, not a god. The international situation at this time is ever-changing, and it is impossible to predict the rest of the space. Under the circumstances of what the soldiers do, they can only carry out their own plans without leakage."
After making up his mind, Fang Linyan was not in a hurry to go to the market at this time, and continued to work on machines (devices). The market needs time to ferment, but he did not expect that two hours later, the second shopkeeper in front came and said that there were customers. When he came to worship, Fang Linyan hurriedly went out to greet him, realizing that it was none other than Song Yuren, Master Song.
After seeing Fang Linyan's face, he no longer cared about any interests, but said with a shocked face:
"My brother's vision is really brilliant. I heard from you a few days ago that the Japanese are arrogant and unruly, and they will definitely fight with our country in the rest of the year. To be honest, I still feel that the wise brother is a little rude. , I didn't expect them to be so arrogant that they didn't even let the British ships go!"
Fang Linyan smiled bitterly:
"Sir Song has been in Europe for a long time, and I have never seen the cruel and arrogant appearance of the Japanese! I saw it with my own eyes, so I have a deep feeling!"
"Maybe Master Song doesn't know much about the current situation in Japan. Those people in the Japanese military are actually already semi-independent from the government. Even someone with political means like Ito Bowen can't control them completely."
Song Yuren has been abroad for several times, and he is considered a person who has seen the world, but he still expresses that it is difficult to understand, sighing and shaking his head:
"It's really unimaginable."
Fang Linyan hesitated for a moment and said:
"Master Song should know more about Zeng Wenzheng (Zeng Guofan)?"
(After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was destroyed, the actual armed forces of the Qing court were already very weak. Zeng Guofan founded the palm power and had 300,000 arrogant soldiers. If he wanted to replace him, it was not difficult. The consequences of proclaiming an emperor will inevitably cause China to be divided, so UU reading www.uukanshu.com dismissed the idea) "
Song Yuren immediately said in awe:
"Of course."
Fang Linyan Road:
"The situation of the Japanese military as a whole in Japan at this time is similar to the position of the ambitious/rebellious version of Zeng Wenzhenggong in the country..."
Song Yuren took a deep breath and said:
"Is it such an exaggeration?"
Fang Linyan Road:
"The actual situation should be a little more excessive."
Song Yuren let out a long sigh:
"I went back that day and reflected on it. Originally, I thought that what my brother said was a bit exaggerated. From what it looks like now, the situation is probably more serious than what you said. If you really let it develop like this, the situation is critical!"
"Everything is foreshadowed, and if you don't predict it, you will fail. The strategy that my brother told me before is useful now. I think it is time to prepare."
Hearing Song Yuren's words, Fang Linyan immediately understood what he meant and said simply:
"Master Song, don't worry, I went to the market yesterday to ask for money, and I will be able to raise 500,000 taels of silver to take with you the next day at the latest. The next money will be transferred through HSBC in the UK one after another. Don't miss a big deal."
Song Yuren has also been in the officialdom for a long time. He knows that there should not be too many big talkers now. Fang Linyan said before that he could raise millions of cash, but Song Yuren actually gave a small discount in his heart. It would be nice if someone could help raise a thousand taels.
After all, looking at China for 5,000 years, those who can generously donate money in state affairs, even those with impure motives, are nothing more than a few people such as Lu Buwei. (To be continued)
