"Surprised?"

Yang Feng said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we were just too sudden!"

John. Forbes swallowed and said with some difficulty.

"Ha, ha, you're very honest."

Yang Feng said.

"You mortal minds can never be compared to gods like me, this plan seems exaggerated and crazy to you, but in fact it is only because your minds are not up to my height, and now I give you a detailed plan."

He then pointed to San Francisco on the map as haughtily as if he had a secondary school illness.

"First of all, we must cooperate to set up a railroad company, this railroad company is called the Pacific Railroad Company, joint-stock system, jointly invested by the Ming Empire government and businessmen from the Ming and American countries, raising shares in New York and Philadelphia, raising as much as you want, and I will be responsible for solving the rest. Then the company built a base here, and the disgusting Spaniards left if they wanted to, and hanged themselves if they didn't want to leave, and built it as a trading hub, and the Ming Empire began to build railways eastward by transporting materials. At the same time, the construction of the railroad to the west in New York also began, the materials of this railway were provided by American businessmen, and it has been built westward, but after entering the control area of the red ghosts, how to solve them has to be the responsibility of the US government, I think the American army will not even be able to defeat the red ghosts, right?

Eventually, the railroad was connected somewhere in the middle of the United States, departing from the West Coast of the Americas with a train laden with Ming goods all the way to New York Harbor, where it was loaded onto American merchant ships and destined for any port.

We can get rid of the British completely.

The Daming steamship from Guangzhou can transport cargo to the west coast of the Americas in two months at most, the train can transport it to New York in half a month at most, the American merchant ship can get it to Europe in a month at most, and in four months we have completed the trade that the British merchant ship would have taken nine months to complete.

What is an advantage?

That's the advantage.

We will be the masters of the trade between East and West. ”

Yang Feng waved his arms excitedly, painting a bright future to the Forbes brothers and Di Lanno.

Although this future is very distant, it is also very attractive, and no matter what impact this railway has on the future trade pattern, it is a dream for the United States, although the slogan of the manifest destiny has not yet been officially shouted, but the expansion to the west has become the consensus of the Americans, in fact, this famous slogan will be officially shouted next year. And to expand to the west must have the support of the railway, the railway extends there, where the territory extends, this is clear to everyone, but the construction of a trans-American railway investment is equally terrifying, the United States at this time is not the future generations can print money to gather wool, at this time the United States is only a small role, the international status may not be able to catch up with the Qing Dynasty, this huge investment can not afford at all.

However, there is now a big man who has jumped out to realize the ideals of the American people......

It's simply ......

"Your Majesty, you are so great, such a grand plan can only be thought up by a great man like you, you are creating an unprecedented miracle in the history of mankind, the miracle of the industrial age, which can be called the eighth wonder of the world, please allow me not to serve you for the time being, I will return to the United States immediately, and then let the president and the American people know that in China, there is a great emperor who will work with them to create this miracle!"

John. Forbes said excitedly.

"Go, bring my greetings to the people of America!"

Yang Feng waved his hand and said.

That's it, the American people will definitely take the bait, who doesn't like pie in the sky?

The significance of the Pacific Railroad to the United States can not be overstated, it can be said that this railway is the spine of the United States, at this time they really have no money to repair, the United States at this time is very poor, twenty years ago just burned Washington, the westward movement has just begun, even the Mexican-American War has been eight years later, at this time the United States is a new continent of small deflated three, mainly relying on the export of agricultural products to Europe, not much stronger than Mexico and other countries, and still entangled with the Indians, In addition, the first economic crisis has just erupted.

Anyway, they can't afford to build this railway.

At this time, great men from the sky from the east appeared brandishing gold and silver.

They will worship.

Then the Chinese can continue to set foot in California, and Yang Feng can also build a fortress in San Francisco, although he did not say that the Chinese colonized, but there are no Americans there, Yang Feng wants to build roads from San Francisco to the east, of course, he has to send workers from China, these Chinese continue to set foot in California, when there are 100,000 Chinese laborers on this land, who else can this land be? Anyway, across the West, without the attraction of gold mines, the number of immigrants in the United States is very small.

Wherever the railroad extended, the territory extended.

The Americans expanded from east to west.

The Chinese expanded from west to east.

Before the railroad was built, they were friends and collaborators, for example, by beating up the Mexicans and forcing them to cede California and the western states.

After the completion of the railway......

At that time, I am afraid that many years have passed, at that time Yang Feng almost solved the country, and then began to embark on the expansion of the chariot, this railway across the United States, a train from San Francisco is full of Ming soldiers, without this railway, the vast wasteland in the Midwest of the United States will block the progress of the Ming army, and without the Panama Canal Yang Feng could not invade the eastern United States by sea, and with this railway Yang Feng can continue to move forward along the railway.

The Americans are building a railroad for him.

Of course, this is a long-term plan, and it is estimated that it will be at least ten years from now.

Just when Yang Feng stretched out his claws to the United States, Wu Bingjian, who had completely calmed down, finally made a wise choice to exchange all his overseas investments for the Wu family's domestic industry, after all, this was his only choice. The East India Company would not hack his loan before, just because the Thirteen Lines controlled Chinese trade, and the East India Company had to maintain cooperation with him, but now that the Thirteen Lines had become a thing of the past, the East India Company would be a complete fool if it didn't take the opportunity to hack him to borrow, and Wu Bingjian was still relatively sober about the discipline of these ghosts.

Of course, the Wu family's land property will definitely be confiscated.

The Wu family's overseas assets, especially the claims of the East India Company, were incorporated by Yang Feng into the newly established People's Bank, which was also his private property, and was also the central bank of the Ming Empire, the only bank with the right to issue notes, so that he became the largest creditor of the East India Company. In addition, there is a lot of investment in the United States, which is actually represented by the Forbes brothers for Wu Bingjian, and is still temporarily represented by them. After Forbes returns to the United States, he will lobby the United States to establish diplomatic relations with Daming, and then Yang Feng can send his own managers to the United States and officially begin to penetrate the American economy.

As for the claims of the East India Company......

It depends on his relationship with the UK.

In fact, relations between him and the British had come to a standstill, and even Yilu had withdrawn from Guangzhou and retreated to Macau, and the assets of the British merchants in the city of Guangzhou were confiscated, but Yilu did not come to him to inquire about the Druids, including the sailors on the two warships, hundreds of Britons were killed or beheaded, and the British government was uncertain what to do with this.

I guess I'll have to hit it.

After all, they have killed so many people, and it is already considered to save face if the British don't come to the door to kill people and set fires these days, and there are still people who dare to kill them, which is completely a tiger's beard.

If you don't beat him, where is the majesty of the British Empire?

Therefore, Yang Feng must be prepared for the British fleet to hit the door, this time it will not be a fifth-class ship or a cruiser, those seventy-four gun battleships will definitely appear, it is estimated that it is very possible to have a dozen battleships, but he can only rely on those three battleships in the short term. Although he got Foshan, the largest iron-smelting base in China at this time, there is no iron ore in Foshan, and the iron ore is transported from northern Guangdong along the Dongjiang River system, and it is still controlled by the Qing army, so in a short period of time, he can only melt the high-quality pig iron produced in Foshan into the converter for a small amount of steelmaking.

And the most important thing for these steels at this time is not to build warships, but to arm more army soldiers for his next expansion.

He wants to expand six brigades at once.

He currently has three brigades, but Luo Xuan's alone in Jieyang, he can only use two brigades, if he expands six infantry brigades, he can just be organized into two armies, and then one army plus an artillery brigade, then he needs nearly 20,000 rifles and more than 300 cannons of various types, so that his army can be enough in front of him.

Because he had to deal with not only the British attack from the sea, but also the Qing army's attack from land.

After the Battle of Humen, Chen Huacheng led the Fujian and Zhejiang naval divisions to retreat to Huizhou along the Dongjiang River, while Qi Shan led the officials of Guangzhou and part of the Eight Banners Green Battalion to flee to Shaoguan, although the original Qing army in Guangdong was almost wiped out, but the Qing army reinforced from Hunan had also arrived in Shaoguan, and the governor of Huguang at this time was Lin Zexu, and the Qing army led by Ma Dianjia, the governor of Guangxi, also arrived. There is also the Qing army led by Wei Yuanhong, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, who also arrived in Meizhou, in order to show his loyalty to the Qing Dynasty, of course, mainly because the Fujian gentry were afraid that the plague of geming would spread to them, and even began a large-scale attack on Luo Gang in Jieyang, and the new Guangzhou generals had already arrived, and they were also famous figures......

Uh, the new general of Guangzhou is Yishan.

After all, the fall of Guangzhou is different from Xinhui, Guangzhou is the lifeblood of the Qing Dynasty's finances, without Guangzhou's taxes, what will Daoguang do to feed those Eight Banners hardcore crops?

Therefore, Yang Feng had to face the Qing army that was counterattacking next.

He had to face enemies from both directions at once.
