Chapter Ninety-Eight: A Friendly Visit??

"Jishi, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Peilun asked curiously.

"It's a matter of success or failure." Xu Jie said proudly. "Lord Deng, please come in."

"Isn't it good to stay in Hong Kong during the winter?" Xu Jie asked.

"What do you mean?" Deng Shichang asked curiously.

"I can use this time to do voyage training. My Beiyang cruising range is as far north as Vladivostok and south as Singapore, so it's okay to use this time to train in the South Seas, right? Xu Jie said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Well, that's a good idea." Deng Shichang nodded and said.

"Then can Lord Deng and Xu jointly go to Lord Shutang to facilitate this matter?" Xu Jie asked.

"Great goodness." Deng Shichang nodded. "Then Deng won't bother Brother Jishi." Seeing that Xu Jie had nothing else to do, Deng Shichang was ready to retire.

"Please send someone out and find two people." Xu Jie handed a note with Peng Haifeng's address to Deng Shichang and said.

Half an hour later. Peng Haifeng and the man surnamed Li came to Xu Jie's room.

"You didn't sleep?" Xu Jie looked at the four Ao red eyes and said.

"Can you sleep? There are such important things to come...... Where can I sleep? Peng Haifeng glared at Xu Jie angrily and said..........

"I wonder if you will have enough money with you." Xu Jie said narrowly.

"Ugh." Peng Haifeng was stunned. "What do you want money for?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, our Beiyang Fleet will come to Hong Kong to avoid the freeze in winter." Xu Jie said.

"Jishi is not planning to let the Beiyang Fleet go to the South Seas, right?" Zhang Peilun, who had been listening to it for a long time, said in surprise. "This is once you provoke trouble. It's not even easy for the middle hall to clean up. ”

"We're going for a friendly visit, not a war." Xu Jie said.

"But the situation in the South China Sea is unstable, once the North Ocean Fleet goes." Zhang Peilun ignored the presence of Peng Haifeng and others, and said sharply.

"It's okay to go. What do the Dutch have in the South Seas? Just a couple of gunboats. Even a protective cruiser has no goods, and he dares to move!! Xu Jie laughed. Y, what is the Netherlands? Back then, Xu Jie flipped through the Conway e-book without a catalog, but he didn't find the Dutch fleet. As a result, Xu Jie turned page by page. Finally, I found the information on the Dutch fleet on pages 371 (half page) to 377 (half page), and this still includes the introduction!!

"What does the Dutch Navy have? Now the largest is only a shore defense ironclad ship of less than 3,000 tons. As for the cruisers, there is not even a single protective cruiser !! Even if the Dutch fleet is all packed, will it be able to withstand the blows of the Beiyang Fleet? (Although the total tonnage of the Dutch in 1890 was greater than that of the Qing Dynasty in Chrysanthemum and Anchor, a considerable part of the Dutch were 1,000-ton coastal defense ships built before 1870, which was not suitable for the long term.) There are not many warships in Indonesia, so if you really fight a naval battle in Indonesia, the Netherlands really can't beat the Beiyang Naval Division, which is in the limelight) Xu Jie continued..........

"Well, that's the threat." Zhang Peilun couldn't help but pick up a handkerchief and wiped his sweat.

"Only allow the red hairs to squeeze my Nanyang compatriots, and don't allow me to warn from the Beiyang? What kind of reasoning is this? Xu Jie said without retreating.

"If I, the Beiyang Naval Division, can really cruise the South Sea. I, the overseas Chinese in Nanyang, am willing to bear all the costs. Mr. Li, who had not spoken much, said.

"The transfer of the Beiyang Fleet is not something that Li Zhongtang can decide, this must be agreed by the Navy Yamen." Zhang Peilun said.

"What's so bad about going on a cruise, and by the way, soothing my overseas compatriots?" Xu Jie asked.

"But the situation is unstable." Zhang Peilun was completely speechless.

"The Navy Yamen doesn't know." Xu Jie said disapprerovingly.

"This is something that needs to be considered in the long term. If the Lord of the Book of Jishi is in the house, I, Zhang Youqiao, will definitely not second. Zhang Peilun said sharply. In his opinion, even if the center agreed, he Zhang Youqiao was not willing to risk the possibility of damaging the Beiyang Fleet to get involved in this matter thousands of miles away.

"If Mr. Peng believes Xu, he will first send a telegram to Lord Xue Fucheng and Xue to persuade Master Xue to explain to Li Zhongtang the situation of my Nanyang Chinese. And to show that our compatriots in the South Seas are willing to contribute to the defense against the enemy in the North Sea. Xu Jie didn't care what Zhang Peilun's attitude was, turned his head and said..........

"Then I thank you two adults here. This is the first voyage fee, and the two of you will collect it for Beiyang first. The man surnamed Li didn't say a word, and directly put a money order on the table. …。

"500,000 taels of silver? This is almost half a year's funding for Beiyang. Zhang Peilun has opened his eyes, and Xu Jie is already a "loser" enough. This Nanyang Chinese is even more violent. However, Zhang Peilun must not dare to ask for one thing, in his opinion, this is a certain degree of bribery, and the other is that this is using Beiyang as a gunman!!

"Two gentlemen, I'm afraid this is not okay, right? How can I accept such a big gift if I don't have an inch of merit in Beiyang? Zhang Peilun said solemnly, and prepared to push the silver ticket.

"In the next place, I will thank my compatriots in Nanyang on behalf of Lord Zhongtang." Xu Jie didn't say a word, and directly put away the silver ticket.

"Xu Jishi, you villain!!" Zhang Peilun pointed his finger at Xu Jie and scolded regardless of the presence of outsiders.

"You two, are you still planning to watch the show?" Xu Jie gently wiped away the saliva on his face and said to Peng Haifeng.

"Don't bother the two of you." Seeing this, Peng Haifeng immediately turned around and left with the man surnamed Li.

An hour later...... After Peng Haifeng returned to the hotel, he didn't say a word, and was ready to pack up and rest.

"Boss Peng, this Mr. Xu is not very reliable." The man surnamed Li said dissatisfied..........

"Chen Ming, this silver is only reliable when it is received." Peng Haifeng said.

"I didn't have any eyebrows at all, so I directly asked for 500,000 taels of silver, I have never seen such a person." The person with the pseudonym Li said angrily.

"I want to ask, why does this Beiyang want to go to Nanyang to support my Chinese?" Peng Haifeng asked.

"Ugh." Chen Ming was speechless for a moment.

"You want to say the same kind of text? Hehe. When the so-called Kangqian era was prosperous, the Hongxi incident occurred in Nanyang, what did he do as an emperor of the Qing Dynasty? Up to now, the Qing Dynasty has been suffering from internal and external troubles, why should people help you? ? Peng Haifeng said with some sadness. If you don't come up with something that people are interested in, can this be done? ”

"Then at least his surname Xu has to come up with some guarantees, right? You have to look at the goods before you pay a deposit for business. Chen Ming said uneasily.

"Business? Are you doing business when we are?? Peng Haifeng's tears of laughter remained. Remember. We are gambling that for the sake of the future of the Nanyang Chinese, and for the sake of our descendants not to be oppressed by the Hongmaozi and the natives. We have to believe in Him. It's not about the money, you know? Peng Haifeng said with a gloomy face.

"And what if he doesn't do anything with the money?" Chen Ming whispered..........

"He is not this kind of person, a person who can give up his career, future, and status in Europe and return to the Qing Dynasty to do things that are not suitable for him. Do you think he will covet our 500,000 taels of silver? He has been in Italy for less than 1 year, and he has already earned no less than that. After Peng Haifeng finished speaking, he went back to the house and lay down to sleep.
