Chapter 149
.Sang Yu actually always had the idea of Sang Yu.
Although she had received the order from His Highness An, she tried not to take too fierce actions easily, so as not to be noticed by Qing Yao, lose the good situation of An Qier's business, and thus endanger the safety of the Shanghai station. However, she did not want to ask this batch of arms to stay in Shanghai. With her own keen sense, she knew that the Tianjun might come to Shanghai soon, and the two armies were facing each other, and this batch of arms would cause unnecessary trouble to her army. Therefore, she and Ai Hua repeatedly planned and decided to make full use of Jin Nengheng's eagerness to get rid of arms and try every means to transport the arms to Zhenjiang.
At this moment, Ai Hua, who was "wandering" all day, met the first mate on the arms ship and the few black followers following him in the tavern. From the respectful manner and expression of the black followers to the first mate, he realized the strangeness inside. After asking Fang Jingbo, Ai Hua finally learned a new term "black slave". He also learned that there were more than twenty black slaves like this on the arms ship. It turned out that in this seemingly powerful, always admiring Christ and promoting his fraternity, there were a large number of such black slaves. They had no rights to themselves, but were just something that the master could speak. It was a coincidence that this black slave system, no matter how you look at it, it was like the flag slave system of Qing Yao.
Ai Hua, who was fighting on the battlefield, immediately realized that this was a good opportunity that could be taken advantage of.
In the concession, not to mention the will of the government, the expatriates living in Shanghai from all over the world praised the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom regime in Tianjin more than hated them. Because of this, many foreign brothers even joined the ranks of the Help Xiaodao Association to guard the Shanghai county town. In the concession, there are various legends about the Taiping Army, and the beautiful vision of the Celestial Empire for everyone in the world to share peace. All of this, the black brothers who often follow their masters to enter and exit the tavern cannot hear it, and they cannot be moved when they hear it.
So, Ai Hua and Sang Yu decided to rebel against the black slaves on the arms ship. In case of precautions, Sang Yu still asked Ai Hua to continue to live a "idle-hearted" life, mingling in the concession and the Qing army camp, making friends with wine and meat, occasionally traveling between the county town and the concession, so that she could use the power of the heavenly army in the city at any time. She herself had to raise Jin Daban's appetite first, and then hold Xu Naizhao's protective umbrella firmly in her hand. At the same time, Bishop Luo Xiaoquan got on the ship and used the excuse of preaching to secretly do the work of the black slaves.
Xu Naizhao hated Sang Yu for raising arms prices, but he knew that Sang Yu had American foreign companies and consulates as backers. Moreover, Angel Trading Company had begun to stop the assistance of the storm bandits in the city. Therefore, after he still received Sang Yu's private "sacrifice", he naturally had no thoughts.
Even when the investigation made Gilhanga secretly investigate Angel's possible illegal business endlessly, he felt very dissatisfied. It would be difficult for a young woman to marry a playboy who was several years younger than him to provoke a huge business. Besides, a woman who loves money would not have any ideas. No matter how she did it, she would still be on the side of the court and would not be willing to be surrounded by the rioters. Especially when the concession digging protective trenches on the border to prepare for an accident, Angel's business not only contributed money, but also took the initiative to organize dozens of business staff to take over a guardian task of the outer trench. Xu Naizhao praised this move very much, and he felt that his analysis of Sang Yu was not wrong.
The black brothers did their jobs even smoothly. These slaves who had lost their minimum rights had more urgent expectations for the paradise of equality.
Now, what we need is the cooperation of Vice Consul Jin and the senior foreign company.
Sang Yu looked at Fang Jingbo. Through long-term contact, this educated and thoughtful person left a good impression on her. He could be transformed into a capable talent on the hidden front of the Celestial Dynasty. "Oh, Mister, if this batch of arms can be successfully brought to the west, we will of course get rich rewards. But after thinking about it, I always feel that there are still a few problems."
"Let's talk, I'll find a way." Fang Jingbo explored Sang Yu. From the bottom of his heart, he also hoped that this batch of arms could be sent to the west immediately. If he really had that power, he could even provide support to Shanghai City for free. The actions of the heavenly army in the city made him see the hope of the motherland.
Sang Yu nodded and thought for a while, "First, the guns are easy to talk about. Some of them were seized from their opponents in the west, and they are not unfamiliar with them. But these Western artillery are different. No one can control them, and they are not a pile of scrap iron? Second, Yang Yunxiang of the Guangdong Navy came to the Yangtze River. This person was a tough guy who was not afraid of even foreigners. I was afraid that the level would be very sad."
"Yes, it's easy to control artillery. If it really doesn't work, I'll go there with the boat. I'm an industry student, so it's easy to fiddle with these things." Fang Jingbo browed and thought, "It's this part of the navy's river defense that is a bit troublesome."
"You can't go there." Sang Yu shook her head, "I'm planning to open a business to the United States. If you leave, who will I rely on in the future?"
"Missan is going to the United States?" Fang Jingbo looked at Sang Yu as if he was not aware of it. Ai Hua wanted to become a French citizen, and he obviously planned to go to France to develop. Why did she want to go to the United States instead?
"Of course, there is a big business in the United States. I want to join forces with Mister to build a big business where to start a big business. Yes, I want to be the best business in the world." Sang Yu looked at Fang Jingbo with a surprised face and said seriously, "It's too messy here, and it's bothering to do business."
"Actually, it's the same everywhere." Fang Jingbo chuckled softly, feeling that Sang Yu thought about the United States too beautiful.
Sang Yu said carelessly, "It's good to stay at home for a thousand days, but it's hard to go out for a while. It's certainly not that easy to travel thousands of miles to the United States. As long as Mister's help, I can make a lot of money. Haha, let's see who dares to underestimate me."
Fang Jingbo listened to Sang Yu's "magnificent" ideal, and he wanted to laugh. This woman really regarded the United States as a golden pavement. However, after thinking about it, he felt a little happy again. If we really arrived in the United States together, we could be together every day. Alas, that's what happened in the future. What is anxious about now is the entire ship of arms. He waved his hand and pulled Sang Yu's thoughts back to the topic, "Then what is Missan's idea to solve these arms problems?"
"Tell Jin Daban, I bought the black slaves on the boat." Sang Yu giggled and blinked her beautiful big eyes. "I know, these black slaves are not worth much in your place. Maybe the price of the head animals is not as good as that. I can pay them more money to redeem themselves. Then, let them be familiar with the use of cannons, huh, I want to sell them to the west again. The best of both worlds."
This Missan actually remembered to be a human trafficker again. Fang Jingbo nodded, "This is easy. As long as someone is willing to pay, the captain will not be unwilling to do so. So, how can he deal with the navy's inspection?"
Sang Yu looked up at the roof, then looked at Fang Jingbo, "You Qichang Foreign Company has a wealth of great power. Even if there is a situation, the Qing Dynasty will not make any big fuss. Therefore, the way we cooperate must be changed. If the goods cannot be shipped to the west, we Angel cannot bear the losses."
