Why is the Heaven and Earth Society interested in the Wa Kingdom? Yi Zhisuff actually knows that there are few Han people in the Wa Kingdom at all, and it is impossible to develop power, in addition to this, what else is the Heaven and Earth Society interested in? Naturally, it's money, and the other party is here for the trade with the Japanese at all!

The maritime merchants of Guangdong and Fujian are more or less related to the Heaven and Earth Society, and it is inevitable that there will be no people from the Heaven and Earth Society, especially among the many sailors and sailors, it is impossible to screen them one by one, unless the maritime merchants of Guangdong and Fujian are not used, but this is obviously impossible.

Not to mention that the maritime merchants of these two provinces have close ties with Yuanqi, nor that Yuanqi's current strength cannot monopolize the trade with the Japanese, the fundamental reason is that it is impossible to leave these two provinces for the Japanese trade, whether it is the grain trade or the sugar trade, it is impossible to leave the maritime merchants of these two provinces.

Since it can't be stopped, it can only be used, Yi Zhizhi slowly spit out a puff of smoke, and asked directly: "Fancy the trade with the Japanese country?" ”

Huang Dianyuan smiled, "The big shopkeeper is quick to talk, and he doesn't go around in circles, it's true!" After a pause, he continued: "The country has been closed to the country for a long time, extremely xenophobic, and the situation is also complicated, we hope to borrow Yuanqi's golden signboard." ”

Yi Zhizu shook his head slightly, and said: "Although the Wa Kingdom was founded, it doesn't want to be affected too much, open the port, and only open the ...... to Yuanqi. ”

Huang Dianyuan said, "Yuan Qi wants to monopolize the trade with the Japanese?" ”

"Yuan Qi, who has Brother Rongjue, can't join forces with the Wa Shogunate to monopolize it?"

"Not really." Huang Dianyuan hurriedly said: "Even if Yuan Qi eats meat, he has to leave a soup for everyone." ”

Yi Zhizhi said with a smile: "Yuan Qi never eats alone, but I don't want to have too many entanglements with your club." ”

"Are there fewer entanglements between us? I don't care about a little more. Huang Dianyuan said with a smile, "If the big shopkeeper has any requirements, just mention it." ”

After pondering for a moment, Yi Zhizhi said: "The strength of the Heaven and Earth Society is not weak, but unfortunately it is a plate of scattered sand, Ping Suli has its own affairs, and what Brother Rong can represent is the three-point meeting, in all fairness, do you think the three-point meeting is the same as Yuanqi?" ”

The main forces of the Three Points Society are in Fujian, and in recent years, with Yuan Qi, the power has expanded quite rapidly, and it has penetrated deep into the South Seas, and its strength is also expanding rapidly, and its influence in the Heaven and Earth Society is also increasing, but compared with Yuan Qi, it is tantamount to the difference between cloud and mud, this point, Huang Dianyuan is quite clear, although this sounds uncomfortable, it is also an indisputable fact.

Nodding slightly, Huang Dian Yuancai said: "The three-point meeting is naturally not comparable to Yuan Qi, but what about the Heaven and Earth Society?" ”

"If the Heaven and Earth Society can establish a unified organization, it will also be impressive." Yi Zhizhi laughed and said, "A plate of scattered sand will ..... Nothing to speak of. ”

"The meaning of the big shopkeeper..." Huang Dianyuan's eyes shrank slightly, "Integrate the Heaven and Earth Society!" ”

Yi Zhizu shook his head slightly, and said: "Heaven and earth will be scattered all over the place, and there is no subordination between them. After a pause, he said: "Integration is not possible, but a new party can be established on the basis of the Heaven and Earth Society, and the elites in the Heaven and Earth Society can be absorbed." ”

After being silent for a long time, Huang Dianyuan spoke: "The big shopkeeper is so courageous, this idea is good, but to implement it, I am afraid it will be difficult to ......" ”

Yi Zhixiang smiled and said: "If Brother Rong has this ambition, Yuan Qi can support it strongly." ”

Hearing this, Huang Dianyuan said with a vigilant face: "The big shopkeeper shouldn't want to control the Heaven and Earth Society, right?" ”

Yi Zhishu gently slapped his cigar and asked rhetorically, "Can't you?" ”

Huang Dianyuan didn't expect him to be so direct, and he was speechless in a daze, Yi Zhizu lowered his voice and said: "With his hands free, Yuan Qi will turn his target to Nanyang, and at that time, what will be the situation of heaven and earth?" ”

Hearing this, Huang Dianyuan's heart sank, he and Yi Zhixiang had many contacts, and he knew very well that the other party attached great importance to Nanyang, if it was really when Yuan Qi was plotting for Nanyang, he would definitely not easily let go of Nanyang's Heaven and Earth Society!

One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, Yuan Qi will never tolerate the newly occupied Nanyang territory of Heaven and Earth, which can be seen very clearly from Yi Zhi's attitude towards Annan, since Annan has been laid, he will not allow Annan to separate again, and allow Heaven and Earth to develop in Annan, which is also based on this general principle, which is the bottom line of the other party!

It is not difficult to imagine that in a few years, once Yuan Qi's strength grows, in order to completely control Nanyang, he will definitely open a knife to the Tiandi of Nanyang! It's not just as simple as suppression, but it will be uprooted!

The room was quiet, Li Wangcha carried two jars of wine at this time, led the two maids to carry the food box, and came in with the tea tray, as soon as he entered the room, he noticed that the atmosphere was a little dull, and hurriedly arranged the wine and tea neatly, and withdrew with the maid without saying a word.

Yi Zhishu took a small jar of sake, smashed the sealing mud, poured two glasses, and then stretched out his hand and said: "This wine is no different from cold and white open when you drink it, if you are not used to drinking it, you should drink strong wine." ”

Huang Dianyuan took a sip of the cup, then drank it in one gulp, grabbed the jar of liquor silently, and took a few sips of wine slowly, and then said slowly: "A group of rabble, not enough to succeed, there is Brother Rong's all-round talent, so he is willing to waste his life?" ”

After pouring himself a drink, Huang Dian Yuancai said: "Yuan Qi is now in full swing, and the big shopkeeper is also frequently adding officials to the knighthood, and the previous time he was raising his nationality and entering the flag, and he was married to the Manchu clan, but now he is thinking about controlling the Heaven and Earth Society, should he be thinking about using the blood of his brothers to stain the top of his red head?" ”

Turned out to be worried about this? Yi Zhizhi smiled contentedly, and said in a relaxed tone: "The victory of the Eastern Expedition, the imperial court is indispensable to increase the official and promote the knight, now I am a first-class viscount, and then promoted, at least I am also an earl, this top is already red and shiny, why do you need to dye it again?" Besides, if the entire Nanyang Islands were included in the territory of the Qing Dynasty, the prince would be at his fingertips, so why do that treacherous thing? ”

Huang Dianyuan said coldly: "Doesn't the big shopkeeper want to use the power of the Heaven and Earth Society to fight Nanyang?" ”

Yi Zhixiang did not deny it, and asked rhetorically: "Fighting Nanyang doesn't violate the purpose of the Heaven and Earth Society, right?" It doesn't harm the interests of the Heaven and Earth Society, right? ”

"Our purpose is to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and to conquer the South Seas, which is tantamount to strengthening the strength of the Manchus, which is equivalent to making Heaven and Earth work for the Manchus!" Huang Dianyuan said in a deep voice: "The countries of Nanyang, England, the Netherlands, and Spain can accommodate the Heaven and Earth Society, but Yuan Qi may not be able to accommodate it, if we really want to assist the big shopkeeper to fight Nanyang, can it be regarded as digging our own grave?" ”

This is not just a generation gap, it is simply a chasm! Yi Zhishu was speechless, and smoked his cigar silently, before he said: "When the British invaded, Brother Rong once acted with the army, and his understanding of the British fleet was very human, and he should be extremely impressed by the British steamboats, right?" ”

Seeing that he had changed the topic, Huang Dianyuan was a little puzzled, and immediately nodded and said, "The first time I saw a steamship, it was indeed extremely shocking. ”

"If I tell you that ten years from now, the warships of all Western countries will be steam-powered ironclad ships, which can crisscross the oceans in any season, run rampant on the great rivers, and come and go freely against the current, and the existing artillery will not be able to hurt them at all, do you believe it or not?"

Steam-powered ironclads? It's not the first time Huang Dianyuan has heard it from Yi Zhi's contentment, he didn't believe it before, but now he is skeptical, after all, he has seen the British army's steamship, and after a little hesitation, he said: "Even if it is said that ten years later, this ironclad ship should still be under development, how can the big treasurer know about such a confidential matter?" ”

Taking a sip of wine, Yi Zhizhi said: "Ten years later is just an estimate, it may not take ten years, recently the Nanyang Navy has frequently purchased sail warships from Citigroup and France, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for Western countries to sell warships and artillery to us on such a large scale, which can only show one problem, they are about to have better warships, and sell the warships that are about to be eliminated to build new warships." ”

Huang Dianyuan nodded slightly, although the other party was just guessing, but it was not unreasonable, and the sale of warships to the Qing Dynasty before the outbreak of the war in England, as well as the statement of containing England, and selling warships in such a large number after the war, there was obviously a problem, but what does this have to do with their previous topic?

"Don't look at Yuanqi now, I'm the big shopkeeper in the limelight for a while, but in fact, I often wake up in the middle of the night, what are I afraid of? I am afraid that Western countries will invade on a large scale, and I am afraid that China, like India, will become a colony of Western countries. ”

Yi Zhixiang sighed when he said this, poured himself a drink, and then continued: "The great changes that have not been seen in three thousand years are also the most dangerous time for my China.

In the past twenty or thirty years, before we have enough self-protection ability, I don't want large-scale civil strife, which will undoubtedly increase the danger of us being invaded and divided! ”

Huang Dianyuan said in a deep voice: "The Manchus are also foreigners!" ”

Yi Zhixiang glanced at him and said unceremoniously: "The Manchus are foreigners, aren't they Mongolians?" Tibetans, aren't they? Hmong, isn't it? Are all ethnic minorities foreigners in the eyes of Brother Yourong? Don't mention to me any Huayi debate, Zhengshuo dispute, no interest, in my opinion, but all the nationalities living within our territory belong to our Chinese nation, whether it is in the past, ...... present or in the future. ”

Huang Dianyuan said fiercely: "In this way, the big shopkeeper doesn't plan to oppose the Qing Dynasty at all?" ”

"Why did Brother Rong react so much." Yi Zhizu said slowly: "Whether it is against the Qing Dynasty depends on the situation, if the Qing Emperor takes the initiative to abdicate and the rights are transferred peacefully, is there a need to oppose it?" Does it have to be fought through large-scale bloody conflicts to be considered orthodox? Song Taizu Chen Qiao mutinied, and the yellow robe was added, who dares to say that he is not in the right position?

Of course, after eliminating the external threat and having enough strength, and the Manchu emperor is still not interested, he should also be opposed, but even if he wants to rebel, I don't want to break out a large-scale and large-scale protracted war like the end of the Ming Dynasty, which will greatly damage the national strength, and it is best to solve the problem with an offensive and defensive battle of the Beijing Division. ”

"The big shopkeeper can't help but think too simply." Huang Dianyuan shook his head slightly and said: "Change the dynasty, which time is not a river of blood." ”

"Not bad." Yi Zhizu sighed lightly: "How many monuments have survived our 3,000-year-old civilization?" How many books and technologies have been lost? Every change of dynasty is an unparalleled catastrophe ....... ”

Huang Dianyuan said unceremoniously: "The kindness of a woman! ”

Yi Zhixiang smiled disappreciably, "You don't understand......" ”

Huang Dianyuan didn't have the heart to ask, raised his glass to Yao, dried the wine in one gulp, and then changed his head and said: "I have always wondered, why do you attach so much importance to those islands in the South Seas, for the Qing Dynasty, the South Sea Islands are not far but not close, even if there is a navy, there is a feeling that it is beyond the reach of the whip...... there will be no gold and silver mines, right?" ”

"Worth more than gold and silver mines!" Yi Zhizhi smiled and said: "You should know about Yuan Qi's plantation in Qiongzhou?" ”

Huang Dianyuan hurriedly nodded and said, "I know, I'm also quite puzzled about this, those trees planted in the plantation are very expensive?" ”

"Not bad." Yi Zhishu nodded and said: "Those trees are only suitable for planting in the Nanyang Islands, this is one of the reasons why I want to fight the Nanyang, and furthermore, the Nanyang will be the most important channel for the Qing Dynasty's foreign maritime trade in the future, and it can even be said to be a lifeline, which must be in our hands, in addition, this era is the best golden age for expansion and land grabbing, if you miss this opportunity, it is really a shame for future generations." ”

Huang Dianyuan asked curiously, "What kind of tree is it, so golden?" ”

"Cash cow!" Yi Zhishu glanced at him and said, "This is a trade secret, you are not a person from Yuanqi now." ”

Huang Dianyuan took a sullen sip of wine, today he finally knew why the other party attached so much importance to Nanyang, not to mention what kind of cash cow, it can be called a lifeline by the other party, which shows how much attention the other party attaches to Nanyang, and he was silent for a long time before he said: "Now Spain is entrenched in Luzon, the Netherlands is entrenched in Groba, and England is in Temasek. ”

"That's not something you should think about." Yi Zhizu rolled his eyes and said, "Give me a happy word." ”

"It's too much at stake." Huang Dianyuan said slowly: "I will go back and discuss with the head of the house in detail......." ”

Before he finished speaking, a cry full of joy came from the courtyard where he listened, "Sir-." ”

Listening to Li Wang's voice, Yi Zhizhi got up and walked to the door, and before he could speak, Li Wang said excitedly: "The report is here, congratulations to the lord ......" Li Wang said for a moment and said with a smile: "From now on, I have to change my words, congratulations to Master Hou!" ”

Hou Ye? Yi Zhixiang was a little surprised, Daoguang actually jumped over the earl and directly promoted him to the rank of marquis? Then he thought, it won't be any price, right? Immediately hurriedly asked, "Only Di Bao?" ”

Li Wang hurriedly said: "Back to the Hou Ye, there is only Di Bao." ”
