Chapter 382 "You want to give me these things?"
”"Exactly, this is A Hibiscus, which is equivalent to gold, don't look at this jar, it's not big, it's equivalent to five catties of gold!"
Alfonso thought that Quan Xu was too little, so he explained to Quan Xu through the translation of the tongue man: "Your Excellency, if there is still one, I can find a way to transport a few catties!"
”Quan Xu pointed at Furong: "Are you sure you want to give me this thing?"
”"Yes......
Is it ......"
Alfonso didn't understand what Quan Xu really meant, such a simple thing, do you need to confirm it again?
At this moment, Quan Xu waved his hand and said, "Yuan Zongdi!"
”Now the fourteen-year-old Yuan Zongdi replaced the original Shen Liangcai, Shen Liangcai was transferred to the Second Fleet of the Liaodong Naval Division and served as the general of the Naval Division, of course, Yuan Zongdi did not replace Shen Liangcai, after all, Shen Liangcai commanded the Guards Brigade, and the current Yuan Zongdi is only a attendant of the Attendant Regiment."
Quan Shuai!""
Grab two Dutchmen and bring them here!""
Yes!"
With Quan Xu's order, Yuan Zongdi turned around and left.Alfonso had just gotten up and was about to say something, when the family guards beside him pulled out their knives and pointed their sharp knives against his and Duncan's necks.Duncan's face turned red with anger, but he didn't dare to move.As a colonel officer in the Netherlands, as a knight in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Duncan knew very well that as long as he moved a little, he would definitely spill blood in Liaodong as soon as possible.Alfonso looked at Quan Xu with a puzzled expression, he didn't know why Quan Xu's face changed, everything was fine originally, but now, he actually made a knife against each other.In fact, Alfonso will never figure out why it is the way it is.When it comes to opium, it is estimated that there is no Chinese who does not know what it is, nor does it know that Inuqing knocked on the door of the country with naval artillery for the great powers.In fact, opium smoke was introduced to China by the Dutch, and initially formed a social atmosphere in Taiwan, in the Kangxi period, has spread all over Fujian, Guangdong, Yongzheng two years, an official who participated in the suppression of Taiwan's Zhu Yigui uprising to Yongzheng on the fold, bitterly the harm of opium smoke.In the seventh year of Yongzheng, the Qing court issued the first order to prohibit the sale of opium tobacco by its own subjects, namely the "Regulations on the Promotion and Sale of Opium and the Establishment of Tobacco Houses": "The sale of opium and tobacco shall be punished for one month and the border guards shall be sent to fill the army."
If you open an opium smoke house privately and lure the children of a good family, you will be imprisoned according to the law of the cult to confuse the people, and you will be a hundred rods and three thousand miles.The boat households, the land guards, and the neighbors on the right side have a hundred rods for two years.For example, military servicemen and others need to ask for money, and they will be punished in accordance with the law.The local civil and military officials who fail to supervise the inspection, as well as the customs supervision that does not carry out supervision, are handed over to the ministry for strict punishment. ”In the Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong periods, the harm of opium intensified, and until the Jiaqing period, it was out of control.In this time and space, Quan Xu will never allow this to happen, he really needs the Dutch to act as a-stirring stick to disgust the British, but because of opium, he will definitely not compromise.Even if the development of southern Liaoning needs money, it also needs resources, in particular, this time the Dutch East India Company not only carried a large number of silver coins, but at the same time, loaded with a million Dutch silver coins, equivalent to 470,000 taels of silver ivory, spices, high-grade sulfur, and more than a dozen precious wood, I heard that the Ming people liked huanghuali and rosewood very much, and they also brought a full fifteen ships.If this deal is successful, the Dutch will be able to obtain a large amount of steel from Quanxu, even if it is a high price of three hundred taels of silver a ton.However, the Dutch had money, and it was not a problem to raise three million taels of silver to buy 10,000 tons of steel.Originally, the Dutch thought that Quanxu sold him pig iron, or wrought iron, but after contacting the commercial and trade officials in southern Liaoning, they had already understood that what Quanxu sold to them was not pig iron, nor wrought iron, but stainless steel.In the perception of Europeans, the best steel in the world is Damascus steel, the Arab scimitar cast with Damascus steel makes Europeans shudder, this thing is too sharp, it is said that a knife can fall from the air of a gauze scarf into two pieces, coupled with the strong kinetic energy given by the high-speed inertia of the Arabian horse, often a slight stroke can break the European cavalry head-on to the rushing European cavalry into two or different heads, even if you are lucky enough to pick up a life, you will be seriously injured, the muscles and bones and blood vessels are broken, and if you don't treat it in time, you will die.And the quality of the sample steel sent to them in southern Liaoning does not seem to be under Damascus steel, and even surpasses it, which is really incredible!
If it is of this quality, three million silver per ton is not only not expensive, but quite affordable.The Dutch will have a war with the Spanish and the British.The Dutch, who lacked metallurgical skills, had an inherent disadvantage in population and steel, and in the event of a war, they would lose very badly.This batch of steel, which came to the Dutch, was even more important than their most profitable silk and porcelain, and they could not buy tea, canned food, or mixed water, but they could not afford not to buy steel, in order to make up three million taels of silver.They had sent letters to Taiwan and Luzon respectively, hoping to send at least seven to ten third-class warships to escort the armed merchant ship, which had more than twenty ships, to leave Liaodong and return to Europe.After all, 10,000 expensive steel is too expensive, and they can't afford to take the slightest risk, but the question is, why is Quan Xu angry?
Not to mention that Alfonso couldn't figure it out, even Shen Mingze couldn't figure it out, as the speaker of Liaonan, he was one of the first people to contact the details of the transaction, so he knew that the Dutch were carrying a lot of supplies, and he also knew that Quan Xu was going to die for the Dutch, and the amount of this transaction would reach five or six million taels of silver.The problem of tight funds in southern Liaoning can be solved, at least on a large scale.It's just that Quan Xu was angry, and he also watched coldly, looking at what Quan Xu wanted to do.At this moment, two strong Dutch men were escorted to the warm pavilion by the soldiers of the whole family, and the two Dutch soldiers had blue noses and swollen faces, and they seemed that they did not want to cooperate, and they were beaten.Quan Xu waved his hand and said, "Feed Ah Furong to them!"
”When the two Dutch soldiers heard the translation of the tongue man, they immediately struggled nervously, but it was a pity that their struggle was very futile, one person could not hold them down, and the whole family army came up with two, and two people could not hold it, then four.In the end, the two Dutch soldiers did not have the strength to struggle, they were pinched their noses, poured a large amount of opium ointment, in the last years of the dog Qing Dynasty, opium as the first choice for suicide, such as Puyi's biological mother Guerjia, Beiyang Navy Admiral Ding Ruchang, "Dingyuan" pipe belt Liu Buchan, all took opium to commit suicide.Because, opium directly stimulates the nerve centers, and the person produces a psychedelic feeling, being able to stop breathing while drowsy, less painful than drinking poisoned wine, and dying in extreme excitement.Sure enough, in the presence of everyone, the two strong Dutch soldiers did not show a look of pain, but a look of intoxication and happiness, and after just two quarters of an hour, a drunken flush appeared on their faces......
Then, their bodies convulsed, sweating profusely, and then vomited, vomiting black blood......
Slowly lie down on the dead, completely dead.Looking at the two dead Dutchmen in the warm pavilion.Shen Mingze's face turned white, and he glared at Alfonso: "You guys......
You are trying to assassinate Uncle Xiu Wu, do you know what crime you should be guilty of?
”Alfonso also understood, he hurriedly explained: "Your Excellency Xiu Wubo, this Ah Furong is not eating, but smoking, holding a special smoking gun, lighting a cigarette bubble, as long as you take a deep breath, ......"
Shen Mingze's face became even more ugly: "Such a vicious and sinister intention, his crime should be punished, and a thousand knives are not enough to atone for his sins!"
”As the leader of the Industrial Party, and Quan Xu is the godfather of the Industrial Party, the Dutch actually want to kill Quan Xu with poison, which is to cut off the roots of our Industrial Party.Business is important, but it is never as important as Quanxu.Shen Mingze stepped forward angrily, and punched Alfonso for a while, and let out a bad breath, he directly ordered: "Uncle Xiu Wu, at this time, it belongs to the civil affairs, and the subordinates are willing to ask for these people to be handed over to our Liaonan Council!"
”"No problem!"
The Liaoning South Parliament Center is equivalent to a miniature version of the parliament, of course, it cannot be regarded as a miniature version, at least in terms of territory, Liaoning is much larger than the Netherlands."
Wu Zhutou, arrest these people and bring them back for a good trial, he must still have his comrades, he would rather kill by mistake than misplace!"
Wu Zhutou's name is Wu Yingtai, and he is the chief head catcher in southern Liaoning, which is different from the official government of the Ming Dynasty, and the head catcher is no longer the servant of the prefect, the prefect, and even the master.The head of the third shift is a formal civil servant, and he enjoys the same financial allocation, and like the soldiers of the whole family, he has a bank account, and he can allocate funds in the month and withdraw his money from the bank.Wu Yingtai responded, and with a wave of his hand, several wolf-like catchers pounced on him and tied Alfonso into a big dumpling three or two times, and then Duncan also concocted the same method.Alfonso shouted as he explained, shouting at the catchers to reward him with a move, and after a few rounds, the whole person was beaten so much that he couldn't even recognize his mother."
Xiu Wubo, are these Dutchmen misunderstood?
They came to the Port of Arthur with a large number of armed merchant ships and full of goods, is it a bit too much for us to make such a fuss?
”Hearing the news, Deputy Speaker Zhu Xun looked at Quan Xu and said: "Quan Shuai, please think twice, be a man and leave a line, and see each other in the future!"
”Zhu Xun secretly thought in his heart, this is actually Quanxu set up a bureau, the purpose is to pit the Dutch, but the Dutch are not cats and dogs, and if they don't get it right, it will be a national war.Quan Xu smiled disappreciatively: "Mingze, do you know who they helped transport 500,000 stone of rice at the beginning?"
Did you buy a hundred and fifty guns straight from Liaonan?
”"Huayang Society?""
Who else but them?"
Quan Xu sneered: "They want us to go to war with the Dutch, but I want to see if the Dutch are really willing to be used as guns!"
