Chapter 302 Ningbo Issue

For a long time, no one dared to mention this sentence in front of Miss Ye, but Shi Jingfen was not afraid of being demoted to Miss Ye. He was not afraid of offending Miss Ye.

However, this sentence was indulged in the sense of Madam Ye's indulgence, so Madam Ye was not vague. She took out a short sword from her waist and saw that both sides were fighting in the venue. Senior cadres such as Lu Ping, Xu Fengfei, and Liu Gongrui were quickly coming up to drag Madam Ye: "Empress Ye, don't be angry, don't be angry!"

"Shi Jingfen!" Niang Ye's eyes were murderous: "You say another word, don't blame me for killing someone!"

Shi Jingfen didn't expect that Madam Ye would react so much. Looking at Xueliang's silver sword, he finally realized it after a while: "You should say this to the test!"

"Okay!" Niang Ye was unambiguous: "Order the main ship No. 2, and immediately enter the Dinghai Hall as soon as it forms combat effectiveness!"

Dinghai Hall.

Dinghai Hall was later Zhoushan. It was originally Dinghai County. During the Opium War, it was changed to Dinghai Hall when it was returned to China. It was no longer under the jurisdiction of Ningbo Prefecture, but became a department directly under the jurisdiction of Zhejiang Province.

There are endless dangers and opportunities lurking in the islands of all sizes here. The pirate ships that cannot survive on the coast of Zhejiang, coupled with the vast boats in Buxing, and the Green Camp navy who dare not cruise abroad, will gather here, forming hundreds of warships of all sizes for a time.

However, this fleet was mixed and unruly. Although it was nominally obedient to Guangqing, the Ningshaotai Road, who fled to Dinghai, in fact, they were all independent, not to mention that there was a Portuguese fleet here.

They quickly turned their attention to Ningbo Prefecture at their doorstep. They were delighted to find that although the Hong Army occupied Ningbo Prefecture, their troops could not be deployed on the entire coastline of Ningbo Prefecture. Soon some pirates and the Green Camp Navy began to tentatively attack.

However, these attacks were all defeated by defeat. The Hong Army was not the Green Camp soldiers who remained silent and even refused to dispatch after receiving money. As soon as the pirates landed on the coast, they were immediately attacked by the main force of the Hong Army. After several temptations, even the self-defense force on the coast dared to attack the pirates.

Under such circumstances, this huge fleet could only retreat to Dinghai Hall, but the future of the entire fleet has become a big problem before everyone.

Buliang Belt is such a confused person. He drank two bowls of boiled water and walked around the deck barefoot for a while without any accidents. However, the tide made him confused and could only return to the cabin to ask his elder brother Buxingyou: "Brother, you can't live this time!"

"Why can't you pass!" Bu Xingyou was very calm: "From simple to go to extravagant, from extravagant to simple to go to simple, then our brothers traveled thousands of miles across the ocean. Isn't that just how we lived? The situation at that time was much more sinister than now!"

Bu Liangai couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, it's all Duan Daotai!"

They used to be extremely happy in Ningbo Prefecture. They had thousands of subordinates who could get thousands of taels of silver every month, and their own furniture was tens of thousands of taels, not to mention the romantic and romantic nature of Ningbo Prefecture.

But I didn't expect that the sky would fall suddenly overnight. It turned out that it was an ambush of Niang Ye's fleet, and was about to plot both the Hongjun Navy and Bao Shunlun. I didn't expect that the sky would be worse than the humans' calculations, Bao Shunlun actually defected to Liu Juehu.

In this way, Buxingyou's fleet lost almost half of the ships, especially the large ships running slowly, which made Buliang feel even more heartbroken. Afterwards, he tried to rebuild the fleet, but was unable to rebuild the fleet due to lack of money and salary. The infantry of the Hong Army had already rushed to Ningbo Prefecture, and Buliang's belts had to flee to Dinghai Hall in haste.

When he thought of Bao Shunlun's defection, Buliangdai sighed and then sighed, he asked his brother: "We can't go on like this. If this continues, people's hearts will be disbanded, and the team will be disbanded!"

Buxingyou is a very determined maritime figure. He said: "What is this setback? We have encountered even greater setbacks. In the end, we are brothers who laugh to the end!"

"Brother, I'm just talking simple. Now some brothers are unwilling to do it anymore and leave! If this continues, I'm afraid the entire team will be crossed!"

"I can't cross it. As long as I make a vote, our brothers will still be the first person in the Southeast Ocean. Madam Ye is nothing!" Bu Xingyou also cursed and sweared: "Isn't it just to rely on his resignation to a little white-faced person and build a steam steamer? We brothers can do it too!"

"Can you really get it?" Buliangdai was already moved: "I know very well our family's assets. If you want to build such a steamship, you may have to lose all your family's assets!"

"We can't do it, we have to do it for us, and Duan Daotai has to do it for us!" But Bu Xingyou thought it very clearly: "If you do it, let them do it!"

"Where do?" Buliang was so excited: "We brothers go into battle together, there is absolutely no problem!" Ningbo Port!" Buxingyou immediately said: "You didn't see that there are at least five or six ships unloading there a day, and there are countless foreign guns and cannons on the shore, and there are thirteen guns and guns in the warehouse alone! We are familiar with this place, and there is no problem in revisiting the old place!"

"But that's the territory of the British!" Buliang immediately opposed: "Ningbo Port is now a neutral port, hosted by the British. Let's go to grab Ningbo Port, which means offending the British!"

"I've been forced into such a desperate situation. How can I care about whether the British or Americans are snatched?" Buxing was very bachelor: "If you get it, you will have at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, a mountain of gold and silver, good streak, can you do it with me?"

"Fuck with my elder brother, we brothers are one mind!" Buliang was not afraid of the British: "I just offended the British, and it may not be easy for us to mess around on the sea!"

"What do you care about so much!" Bu Xingyou asked again: "Where is Ge Wu now?"

"Ge Wu?" Bu Liangai remembered that there was a number of people in Dinghai Hall: "What are you doing with him? The last time he went to Laye Lady's team on Yuhuan Island, he almost got caught by the Red Thief. Fortunately, he had many old friends, so he could run out!"

"I'm useful!" Bu Xingyou said, "Don't underestimate Ge Wu, I'm also useful! Let's plan carefully, how to grab Ningbo, how to repay the merit after robbing it..."

“One, two, three, four, left, right, left, right,"

The Self-Defense Force in Ningbo Port has already had a preliminary framework. Although some Green Camp officers were absorbed into this Self-Defense Force led by the British, he had nothing to do with the old Green Camp soldiers.

This is Fumar's self-defense force. Fumar is very concerned about this self-defense force, so he personally took Feng Wenyi to inspect the force: "Although there are only two hundred people now, it can be expanded to an infantry battalion soon. We have put a lot of effort into the construction of this Changjie army!"

Feng Wenyi looked at the Self-Defense Force a few times. He saw many familiar faces inside, all of which were soldiers or officers of the Hong Army. Now he saw them in this Self-Defense Force, but his name and resume were changed beyond recognition.

It seems that Liu Chang is also quite troublesome in the Self-Defense Force!

So Feng Wenyi had decided in his heart that he would also grab a handful of Liu Chang, but he quickly changed the topic: "What do you think about my proposal?"

"This is not the best choice!" Fumar replied to him: "It has exceeded my authority to have HSBC provide financial support for Ningbo Port's trade."

"But this is the best way to make the port prosper quickly!" Feng Wenyi told the consul: "Our money and banking industry can also provide all conveniences for Ningbo Port's trade, but our banking tickets are not widely recognized in Western institutions in Shanghai!"

What he called "Ningbo Port Trade" was actually a trade between arms and military materials. Although such trade was very profitable, Liu Chang still purchased almost unlimited military supplies and industrial products brought by Western merchants.

However, both Feng Wenyi and Fumar realized that such purchases seem unlimited, but after all, there is a maximum limit. At that limit, a bottleneck will be formed.

Therefore, Feng Wenyi proposed that British commercial institutions, especially HSBC, provide comprehensive financial support to such military trade, including loans, mortgages, bills of exchange, settlement and other aspects, while Feng Wenyi's bill number provides support from China, such as exchange banknotes.

But this matter is too important. Although Fumar is a consul, he dare not agree to Feng Wenyi: "You should understand that this means we have broken the past statements of the British government. The British government once stated that the British government maintained a neutral policy in the Chinese civil war and did not provide materials or other support to any party in the civil war!"

"But if we want Ningbo Port to flourish, we must make some changes!" Feng Wenyi threw out the sugar-coated shell: "Whether you or me, you can gain greater benefits from the prosperity of Ningbo Port."

This made Fumar feel a little moved. It is true that his fate has been combined with this port.

After learning that Fumar was arguing that the neutralization of Ningbo Port was arguing, the higher-level British diplomats were furious. In the letter to Fumar, Fumar could see them hit hard and punch each other. But this was the biggest achievement achieved by the British in China's diplomacy and trade after the Opium War. Therefore, they made a very tough move to the Qing officials that the British government supports Ningbo's neutralization and does not allow anyone to undermine the neutrality, peace and prosperity of this port.
