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

"Success or failure depends on one move." Xu Jie said proudly. "Master Deng, please come in."

"Isn't it not a good idea to be stationed in Hong Kong during the winter?" Xu Jie asked.

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

"We in Beiyang can use this time to do some voyage training. Our Beiyang cruise range reaches Vladivostok in the north and Singapore in the south. Is it okay to use this time to train in Nanyang?" Xu Jie said with gleaming eyes.

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

"Can Lord Deng and Xu jointly submit a petition to Lord Shutang to facilitate this matter?" Xu Jie asked.

"Great kindness." Deng Shichang nodded. "Then Deng will not disturb brother Ji Shi." Seeing that Xu Jie had nothing else to do, Deng Shichang was ready to resign.

"Please send someone out to find two people." Xu Jie handed a piece of paper 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 two are not sleeping?" Xu Jie looked into the four Ao Hong eyes and said.

"Can I sleep? With such a big thing unresolved, how can I sleep?" Peng Haifeng glared at Xu Jie angrily and said.

"I wonder if the money you brought is enough." Xu Jie said nervously.

"Uh." Peng Haifeng was stunned. "Why do you need money?"

"Everyone, our Beiyang Fleet will come to Hong Kong to avoid freezing in winter." Xu Jie said.

"Is Ji Shi planning to send the Beiyang Fleet to Nanyang?" Zhang Peilun, who had been listening for a long time, said in surprise. "If this causes trouble, even Master Zhongtang will not be able to deal with it."

"We are on a friendly visit, not a war," Xu Jie said.

"But the situation in Nanyang is unstable, and once the Beiyang Fleet leaves," Zhang Peilun said sternly, regardless of the presence of Peng Haifeng and others.

"It'll be fine if you go there. What do the Dutch have in Nanyang? Just a few gunboats. They don't even have a protected cruiser, and they dare to move it!!" Xu Jie laughed loudly. Oh, the Netherlands

What's that? Back then, Xu Jie was flipping through the Conway e-book without a catalog, but he couldn't find the Dutch fleet. As a result, Xu Jie flipped through page after page, and finally ended up at page 371 (half a page) to page 377 (half a page).

Page) found the Dutch fleet information, and this still includes a brief introduction!

"What does the Dutch Navy have? The largest one now is just a coastal defense armored ship of less than 3,000 tons. As for cruisers, there is not even a single protective cruiser!! Even if the Dutch fleet is packed up, it can withstand the full force of the Beiyang Fleet.

A blow?" (Although in Chrysanthemum and Anchor, the total tonnage of the Dutch was greater than that of the Qing in 1890, a considerable part of the Dutch were 1,000-ton coastal defense ships built before 1870, which were not suitable for long-range ships at all.

There are not many warships in Indonesia, so if there is really a naval battle in Indonesia, the Netherlands really can't beat the Beiyang Navy, which is in the spotlight.) Xu Jie continued.

"Well, this is a threat." Zhang Peilun couldn't help but pick up a handkerchief and wipe his sweat.

"Only Hongmaozi is allowed to exploit my Nanyang compatriots, but I am not allowed to go to Beiyang to warn me? What kind of truth is this?" Xu Jie said without taking a step back.

"If we, the Beiyang Navy, can really cruise Nanyang, we, the overseas Chinese in Nanyang, are willing to bear all the expenses." Mr. Li, who had never spoken much, said.

"The mobilization of the Beiyang Fleet is not something Li Zhongtang can decide. It must be agreed by the Navy Yamen." Zhang Peilun said.

"What's wrong with going on a cruise and comforting 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 disapprovingly.

"This matter needs to be discussed in the long run. If Master Ji Shi goes to the book hall, I, Zhang Youqiao, will definitely not second the proposal." Zhang Peilun said sternly. In his opinion, even if the central committee agrees, he, Zhang Youqiao, is not willing to risk the possibility of damaging the Beiyang Fleet to interfere with this.

Things thousands of miles away.

"If Mr. Peng believes in Xu, he should first send a telegram to Mr. Xue Fucheng and persuade Mr. Xue to explain to Li Zhongtang the situation of our Nanyang Chinese and explain our Nanyang compatriots' willingness to contribute to the defense of Beiyang.

"Xu Jie turned around and said regardless of Zhang Peilun's attitude.

"Then I would like to thank you two adults. This is the first payment for the voyage. You two should collect it for Beiyang first." The man surnamed Li put a money order on the table without saying a word.

"500,000 taels of silver? This is almost half a year's funding for Beiyang." Zhang Peilun's eyes were opened. Xu Jie was already a "waste". This Nanyang Chinese was even more fierce. But Zhang Peilun definitely didn't dare to ask for it.

On the one hand, in his opinion, this is considered a certain degree of bribery, and on the other hand, this is using Beiyang as a weapon!!

"Two gentlemen, I'm afraid this is not good? How can I accept such a big gift if I don't have any skills in Beiyang?" Zhang Peilun said seriously, taking advantage of the situation and preparing to push the banknote.

"I would like to thank our Nanyang compatriots on behalf of Lord Zhongtang." Xu Jie directly collected the banknotes without saying a word.

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

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

"I won't disturb you two anymore." Upon seeing this, Peng Haifeng immediately turned around and left with the man surnamed Li.

An hour later, Peng Haifeng returned to the hotel and prepared to pack up and rest without saying a word.

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

"Chen Ming, this money is reliable only after you collect it." Peng Haifeng said.

"I don't even know anything about it. I just asked for 500,000 taels of silver. I've never seen such a person." The person whose pseudonym was Li said angrily.

"I want to ask, why should people from Beiyang go to Nanyang to support us Chinese?" Peng Haifeng asked.

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

"You want to say that we have the same culture and race? Haha, during the so-called heyday of Kangxi and Qianlong, the Hongxi Incident happened in Nanyang. What did the Qing emperor do? Until now, the Qing Dynasty has been experiencing constant internal and external troubles. Why should they help you??"

Peng Haifeng said sadly. "If we don't come up with something that people are interested in, how can this be done?"

"Then at least he surnamed Xu must provide some guarantee? Before doing business and paying a deposit, you have to see the goods first." Chen Ming said uneasily.

"Business? Do you think we are doing business??" Peng Haifeng laughed with tears streaming down his face. "Remember, we are betting, for the sake of the future of the Nanyang Chinese, and for the sake of our descendants who will no longer be oppressed by the red-haired people and natives. We

You must believe him. This is not a matter of money, do you understand?" Peng Haifeng said with a gloomy look.

"Then what if he takes the money and doesn't do anything?" Chen Ming whispered.

"He is not the kind of 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 a year.

, the money earned is no less than this amount." After Peng Haifeng finished speaking, he went back to the house and lay down to sleep. Please support me more. Only with support can the author be motivated~~If the collection can increase by 60 today, I will update it twice~
