Chapter 249 Kowloon Naval Base
Liang Pengfei took the cigar handed over by Shi Xianggu and took a deep breath. Regarding this barbaric and selfish, greedy and extremely cruel ethnic minority class, he really didn't like it at all, and it could even be said that he had a bone-deep pain.
They are like a group of worms with a stench all over their body. They feed on the blood of the Chinese nation to fatten themselves. They are conservative and cruel. They have never paid attention to the great impact of military technology on the victory or defeat of the war, and always hold the cold weapon concept of "bow and horse to take the world".
Such a person only wants to maintain his dominance desperately, crazily suppressing and strangling everything and thoughts that they think will cause danger to their rule. It is better to be a bad name with foreign thieves than domestic slaves... All these things, not to mention Liang Pengfei, a time traveler, even if he lives at this time. Isn't it clear that the people who have suffered from these hardships are not clear?
However, the long-term enslavement education of the Manchu Qing Dynasty played a great role in strangling all new ideas, turning the whole Chinese nation into a pool of stagnant water in the more than 300 years of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
"... I'm just an ordinary Chinese. What I hope is that there will no longer be a privileged class like Manqing riding on each of us, drinking our blood, eating our meat, and guarding us like thieves in the end. For their rule, even books that spread ideas and culture. Destroyed. I don't know how much you understand, but one thing I can tell you is that Manchu must fall down, because Manqing is a selfish nation. He doesn't deserve it and should not be the ruling class of our China.
Liang Pengfei's words were very long and a little messy, even to the point of nonsense. However, none of the people present denied that what he said was incorrect.
The wind blew, and the treetops and the leaves rubbed out a rustling sound. The green trail twisted and winding to the distance. The end of the green was a touch of jade-like white, dividing the blue wave light from the thick green. In the sky, a white mark shuttled between the clouds, and suddenly Suddenly. Suddenly.
On the blue waves in the distance, a leaf of Ye Baifan was ploughing out a light white one after another, competing for sails. However, although Liang Pengfei's eyes fell far away, he did not have a trace of interest in appreciation. He just felt sad. The country was so good. In the end, he was tortured by those people. In the end, he stood The ancient empire of this world for thousands of years has become something that everyone can bully and everyone can bully. How can people feel?
In a trance, he felt that his shoulders sank slightly. Liang Pengfei turned his head and saw Shi Xianggu's gentle and quiet beautiful face, leaning on his shoulders, and his eyes were full of intimacy and worry.
"I'm fine. I just feel a little uncomfortable when I think of these things." Liang Pengfei returned with a smile, stretched out his hand, clenched the softness handed over by Shi Xianggu, and smiled in a low voice.
Sun Shijie and Ni Ming, the two counselors, are both angry at this moment, just like the expression of the progressive youth of later generations when they heard that the motherland fell into suffering. The ** of the literary youth will not change in any era.
Mo Guanrang's black face did not have too many expressions, but at this moment, he also fell into deep thinking. Liang Pengfei said a lot, some of which he did not know, but the suffering brought to them by the boundary ban on the sea was so unforgettable. Their sufferings are in one generation after generation. It is said by word of mouth that if it weren't for the imperial court's policy of exterminating people's surnames, who would have been wandering in the sea for generations and living a hungry life. In the end, they could not survive, and then they became pirates who fought for their lives in exchange for survival.
"Hong Kong Island is for you, but our gangs who are unwilling to leave Hong Kong Island. I hope Master Liang won't make it difficult for them." Mo Guanrang finally opened his mouth and rubbed the big hands full of calluses with some embarrassment: "I don't quite understand the truths you said by Mr. Liang Shao. However, my cousin helped them. If it hadn't been for your help, he would have either be in exile in the sea or killed by the court, and you asked Miss Shi to come forward to help my gang fight for the world. Qiu, I can see that you are willing to treat me sincerely. Mo is not an unreasonable person.
"Thank you, Master Mo Banner." Liang Pengfei got up and gave a salute to this honest and sincere Moguan. You can rest assured that whether the gang is gang or not, they are willing to stay around Hong Kong Island, even if it is up to them. However, I don't know what the conditions of Master Mo Qi have. Please make it clear. Liang Pengfei can be said to have breathed a sigh of relief. Although he is determined to win the Kowloon Bay between Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula, he does not want to use means to occupy, so as to offend the most powerful family in this area. Now, since Mo Guan Rang has agreed, the next thing is naturally much easier to do.
In the end, Liang Pengfei paid the price of five armed merchant ships, five hundred muskets, and fifty artillery guns, as well as 20,000 catties of gunpowder and 100,000 taels of silver. Originally, Mo Guanrang only hoped to get 500 muskets and five armed merchant ships. Mo Guanrang didn't even put forward a request to be completely based on Lantau Island. He only hoped that the southern part of Lantau Island, which is now based on the Mafia Gang, is enough.
However, in Liang Pengfei's opinion, such a condition is too much. Besides, this Mo Guanrang is definitely a figure who can make people communicate frankly, so Liang Pengfei raised the price by himself. He not only won the favor of Mo Guanrang, but also hopes to make other family understand that Liang Pengfei is pregnant. Kindness and sincerity.
After agreeing on the affairs of Hong Kong Island, Mo Guanrang rested in Xiaxu Paibao for a night, and left here in a hurry the next day, because he wanted to move the remaining relatives of the gang to Lantau Island as soon as possible, accompanied him by Shi Dakai, who represented the Shi family, and Mo Guanfu, who represented Liang Pengfei.

"...The new docks in the Central Islands of Luzon will be completed in about two months." The counselor Ni Ming was standing in the room and reporting to Liang Pengfei about Luzon.
"After the new docking in the Central Luzon Islands is completed, there will be no more construction. Send me all the manpower to build a dock in Kowloon Bay. In addition, tell my father to let them increase the production of cement in Annan. Anyway, I need to build at least five docks in Kowloon Bay at this time next year. Next year, I need to see the battleships built here. Liang Pengfei looked at the map hanging on the wall. After hearing Ni Ming's report, he thought about it and said.
"Your Excellency's words are very good. Now that you have obtained this good port, you should use it as soon as possible." Ni Ming said with a smile. Sun Shijie, who was recording Liang Pengfei's command next to him, also nodded slightly.
Liang Pengfei took the herbal tea handed over by Bai Shusheng and raised his eyebrows proudly: "Kowloon Bay will become our first and the largest naval base, Kowloon Naval Base."
"Liang Shao, Annan Da Nang is also building a dock according to your instructions. Do you also transfer the craftsmen there?" Next to him, Ni Ming continued to suggest to Liang Pengfei.
Liang Pengfei shook his head: "No, the docks built in Da Nang, Annan are for the construction of merchant ships and small and medium-sized warships. First, after all, the Lord of Annan is still there. Second, my current situation is not convenient to intervene too much. Besides, naval warfare can not only be determined by the number of large warships. It's not useless to have more small and medium-sized warships. Besides, it's not up to us to pay."
"However, we can mobilize people from there. No, we recruited workers from Annan. Anyway, there is no population around Hong Kong Island, and there are so many exiles in Annan. They are idle and recruited 10,000 to 20,000 yuan to build a port and dock for us. Although we can't do any fine work, it's backwards. Cement, smashing stones and so on can still be done.
"Young master, there is news from Macao that those Yingyi have obtained the permission of the court and are ready to leave Macao and travel north along the coast to the capital." A subordinate hurried into the courtyard and handed over a piece of information to Liang Pengfei.
"Now our people have been deeply trusted by them. Although I dare not say that we have explored their details, one thing is certain. The contact and visits with the court officials in the past period of time have greatly changed their perception of the court. From the initial caution to the present Contempt and contempt from the bottom of my heart. Sun Shijie looked at the information, and his face was full of a bitter smile.
"Hmm, officials [***], squeezing the people with ointment, the state's preparation is rotten, beacon smoke everywhere, and a large literary prison to trap Zhongliang. Such a court is already rotten. Not to mention those Westerners who treat it this way, someone also feels that this court is on the verge of overthrowing." Ni Ming interrupted with a faint smile on his face. However, there was a bitter hatred in his eyes.
His original name was not Ni Ming. His original surname was Yin and his name was Zheng Ke. He was from Boye County, Hebei Province, and his family was solid. His grandfather, Yin Jiaquan, is a famous Confucian in Hebei Province. He was born as a secretary and Taoist official in Shandong, Gansu and other provinces. Later, he was promoted to the minister of Dali Temple. He was a three-grade official and one of the nine ministers.
But in the 46th year of Qianlong, because of the written prison case, the university scholar Sanbao, Yinglian and the personnel of various departments and departments involved in the case reported to the emperor, reporting Yin Jiaquan's criminal evidence and criminal trial. Finally, it was proposed that Yin Jiaquan be executed, all the family property was put into office, and all the books were destroyed. His fate was a family member, male 16 All of the above were beheaded, and the rest were given to the family of meritorious officials as slaves.
Later, in order to show his "grace", Qianlong decided to "forgive him from the crime of delay, and changed it to be hanged, and his family members together with him to avoid his fate." However, the family property was confiscated, and a large family was scattered and decayed.
