In July 1881, the Shanghai Concession.
"Selling a newspaper! Selling a newspaper! The Annan Chinese army defeated Fayi, killing thousands of captured French troops! The Chinese army suffered only 700 casualties!"
The eleven-year-old newsboy was carrying a bulging backpack and yelling loudly.
"Give me one, and I want one too." ...
The crowds on the lively streets are crowded, and the Chinese who are attracted by the shouts keep pulling out a few copper coins and buying a newspaper to see.
"At the moment of the egg on June 27th, more than 10,000 people in the French army fled with water and land, attacked the Chinese army, drums rang out, and the flag was covered. The road was divided into three teams, and the waves went to Qingfang Square. Dozens of them are forwards, and the breech guns are more than a thousand shots behind, besieging Hanoi City. The spirit is like a tide.
Alas.
Governor Mei heard the report and told the battalions not to act rashly. They read the inside of the wall and listened to the orders of the Chinese army. They led the troops to station on the road as a response.
Discovering that the French army is still separated, the governor sits on the saddle, generals Li Wencai, Chen Xingui and other backswordsmen ring around. The right side of Hanoi City is the right battalion, and the left side is the front battalion and the left battalion. Dun array.
The French army marched in three directions, and saw the battalions of the battalions go quietly. They swarmed forward and fired guns.
The sound was like thunder and the mountains shook.
The camp was still unknown, and the French army crossed the bridge right and swooped to the right. Generals and barriers, Governor Mei's army casts a gun,
General Pang Zhenyun and the warriors stood out and intercepted the French army for a long time. Before the French team departed, they rushed to the right battalion, and Pang saw the enemy approaching his arm.
At the Qiyingmen gate, the fu dades died from the guns, and they were all ten. ......... "
In the latest issue of the declaration, the front page was full of reports about the war in Hanoi. However, for the reason that attracted the attention of the mainland people, the description of the war in Hanoi in the declaration was inevitably exaggerated and enlarged.
After carefully reading the contents of the newspaper, the Chinese business owner Zhu Rongsan hurriedly greeted his servants and diverted to visit Wu Tiaoqing, the master class of Meihua Foreign Bank.
Meihua Yangxing is a commercial bank opened in the name of foreigners, but the actual principal is Wu Tiaoqing, the highest intelligence and business leader in the mainland of China.
"I hurried to visit and bother you a lot. Boss Wu please forgive me."
Zhu Rongsan entered the headquarters of Meihua Ocean Bank with a smile on his face.
"Where and where, Mr. Zhu is a distinguished guest of foreign trade. Whenever he comes, Wu welcomes everyone."
Wu Tiaoqing greeted the other person into the living room, and asked, "Boss Zhu is busy with business. Today, I went to Meihua International. What is it called?"
"Haha, this is not to see the Chinese army in Annan Dacai French, South American Han and the French cease peace and sign a trade agreement.
Mr. Zhu thought, Huameiyang has a fleet dedicated to South American and Far East routes. Now that peace is restored between France and Han, then the South American printed cloth that Mr. Zhu saw earlier, can it be transported to Shanghai again? So I couldn't wait until I made a special trip to visit Boss Wu to get some information from Boss Wu. "
"Brother Zhu has a unique vision, and it is no wonder that he can make a good career in Shanghai."
Wu Tiaoqing grinned, and then said, "Brother Wu expected it well. On July 3, the two countries signed a replacement agreement. On the 6th, a fleet of grey cloths, printed cloths, and printing machines set off. It is expected to arrive at the end of August. The suburbs of Shanghai. "
"Haha, then Zhu Mou said to boss Wu first, 8,000 pieces of grey cloth and 5,000 pieces of printed cloth. The price is calculated according to the old rules. If the amount of grey cloth in the printing and dyeing factory is not enough, come to boss Wu to buy."
"Gray fabrics are easy to say, but printed fabrics produced in South America and Han countries are very popular. I'm afraid they can't sell 5,000 pieces to Boss Zhu?"
"Why is this?"
"Recently, several domestic printing and dyeing technologies have been invented in the Han country. The cost of dyes and printing and dyeing has been reduced by 20% to 30%, and the finished fabrics produced using new dyes and printing and dyeing technologies have bright colors and good quality. The overall price is two times lower than before. The quality of the flower cloth is much better than the same kind of cloth. In South America, Southeast Asia, Jiangnan, Fujian and Zhejiang, many customers line up to order new flower cloth. The first batch of flower cloth shipped to the Far East, most of them There are already buyers in advance, so in the past, in the past, I could only give Brother Zhu a maximum of 3,000 pieces of floral fabric, but no more.
"Three thousand pieces of flower cloth are also acceptable. For the shortcomings, Zhu will find a solution from another place." …………
After sending away Zhu Rongsan, Wu Tiaoqing called for a company employee and instructed him to "inform Mr. Kirby and ask him to remove 6,000 pieces of cloth from the storeroom and deliver them to the trade bank under Hu Xueyan's name."
"Yes, let's do it small."
Huamei Yangxing is Han's commercial base in the mainland. Not only industrial products such as grey cloths, flower cloths, but also munitions such as guns, artillery, machine guns, ammunition, etc., have also accumulated a considerable amount through smuggling at sea and other channels.
Local officials in the mainland region earn large profits through foreign affairs and industry, and certain advantageous industrial products in the Han country also secretly convey benefits to local officials through normal transactions on the bright side, and build the Han country. Military, intelligence, and economic networks on the mainland.
Hu Xueyan is the money bag of Zuo Zongtang, the governor and minister of business affairs of the Jiangnan region. Putting on his line will help to expand the sales of Han products in the southern region. To this end, Wu Tiaoqing rejected many Chinese merchants and The Chinese compradors give priority to the hoarded materials to merchants such as Hu Xueyan who are associated with official officials.
The war in Annan ceased, and Han ’s power in Nanyang further shrank. Two years later, according to the agreement with the French, the Nanyang Army and the Chinese armed forces all withdrew from Annan. By then, Han ’s power on the Nanyang surface ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Only Natuna and Anambas islands, with a total area of ​​2,800 square kilometers, are left. As for Songkhla and Lanfang Grand Dominion, they can only secretly dispatch people to control local real power. It is difficult to deploy nearly 10,000 troops with the Annan period. Compared to the pomp.
Compared with Han ’s shrinking influence in the Nanyang region, through the newspapers established by Westerners in the Concession, such as the Declaration and the Gazette, the war in Hanoi and Han ’s deeds in South America have gradually been more and more It is known that, especially during the Annan War, newspapers opened by various foreigners scrambled to report the progress of the war. In the ten-mile foreign market, talking about the Annan war became a temporary trend.
The newspapers opened by foreigners such as Shenbao and Gazette are not afraid of the threat of the Manchu government. The content of the report is mainly to attract readers' attention. Of course, the Han nationality, which is led by Huameiyang, continues to pay advertising and sponsorship fees and publicity. Han's industrial and commercial products and the customs of South America are also a major factor in promoting Han's influence in the mainland.
The intelligence work is not good. In order to avoid the threat of Manchu government arrest, Wu Tiaoqing deployed the main staff in various concessions. However, in some specific cases, he also had to take huge risks in Manchu. The government is acting underneath.
"King Wu (Li Xiucheng, pursued as King Wu by the protagonist), His Highness Li Rongfa, second son of Zhongzhong, lived in Jiangxi and contacted our people before April. Now our people escorted His Highness Zhongzhong to Fuzhou and needed to send someone to respond."
Wu Tiaoqing sat in a hidden room and said to a young Chinese man, "Captain Wang, take your man, disguise yourself as a dart master and business gang, and go to Fuzhou to meet them."
"How do we get in touch with them?"
Wang Shizhen asked.
"There are people in our green camp in Fuzhou, and someone will contact you at that time."
"Yes, my staff understands!"
