Chapter 575 Xianfeng is in New York, Moore goes to China (please book, vote)
The moment the gunfire exploded at the New York Harbor Pier, Lei Laohu's pupils suddenly shrank, and he almost pulled out his revolver and shot the one-eyed man's forehead with instinct!
The shot was accurate, and it was impartial, and the headshot was directly shot. The bullet slashed half of the head. The one-eyed man didn't know he was dead, and took a few more steps towards the location where Xianfeng was. Then he realized that something was wrong. Suddenly, he stood up and fell to the ground with convulsions. The brain, plasma, gray, white and red flowed everywhere, his brain was rotten, and his hands and feet were still scratching there, and his vitality was strong enough.
This one-eyed man with tenacious vitality is a gold medal thug of the Italian Gang in New York City. Today, he brought his hands to the New York Bay Pier to fight with the Irish Gang. In order to scare the Irish Gang, he also had a pistol in his arms and was about to shoot if he couldn't beat it.
As a result, when he took his people to the dock that he had made an appointment with the Irish Gang, he saw a group of small Chinese people who came from somewhere and were moving things down from a merchant ship. Because the dock was going to fight for two gangs today, of course no one was responsible for carrying the goods. Lei Laohu and Huang Shiren saw that no one was working on the dock, so they simply did it themselves.
But in the eyes of this one-eyed man, this is a big taboo! The Italian Melolo family and the Irish Five Street Gang fought to grab the territory of the dock union. If the crew is allowed to unload their goods themselves, their dock workers will not be unemployed?
"Fekeer"...\n. In another hundred or ten years, this matter cannot be allowed! Whoever dares to smash the jobs of American dock workers will have to be ready to die.
So, this one-eyed Italian strong man died under the spear of Lei Laohu!
He stabbed the hornet's nest when he died, and a group of Italian young men immediately rushed towards Lei Laohu with a rush to the dagger with a wooden stick.
Lei Laohu is not afraid of this. He was an old brother from the Taiping Army Guangxi. Although he has been a priest since he arrived in the United States, he is a priest from the west! It is still in the west during the gold rush. Do gold hunters dare to go out to find gold if they don’t hang two revolvers these days? Lei Laohu deals with people all day long and tells people the truth about Hong Xiuquan.
They also have two guns, one left and one right.
Now seeing a group of strong Italian men coming over, I took out another wheel with two guns in my hand.
I have the truth, and it’s a bang to output it.
Xianfeng also reacted, and he was also carrying a gun! Seeing that something was wrong, he immediately took out a Colt revolver and shot the Italians who rushed over.
As soon as they opened fire, the priest of Zhenyou, who was carrying silk from the ship, the samurai and the bank staff, also threw down their bags and took out the revolver and samurai sword they carried with them.
That's not all, the group immediately rushed to the dock to form two horizontal lines, with the sword-holding warriors in front, the gun-holding priests in the priests in the throne bank behind.
Seeing these "Chinese" wearing red robes, black cannons, crosses hanging on their chests, and guns in their hands, the Italian and Ireland hardcover men on the pier were frightened for a moment.
God! Are Chinese gangs so powerful now? How can you grab territorially like fighting? No,
No, let's forget about this pier for the Chinese...\n
I don't know who shouted "Ris" first, and then there was a "Ris". Thirty strong Irish men wearing red turbans slipped away in the blink of an eye, and then those "Idaili" people also reacted.
He quickly helped the injured person up, and lifted the one-eyed man's house body and ran away.
Only a group of "Chinese" were left to clean the battlefield, destroy the evidence, and hide their weapons. Two blond and blue-eyed white men with respectable lawyers and bankers were quickly pulled out of the cabin by their Japanese wife as self-defeating witnesses.::::. The New York police arrived later and could not find out what they kept!
After these people finished all the work, about two hours later, the carriage of California Senator Jamie O'Connor slowly drove into this pier that was already controlled by the Chinese "True Quotation Gang"...\n.\n.\n.\n.\n.\n.\n
On the Persian carpet in the blue living room, a three-meter-long map of China is unfolded. It is really an extremely magnificent country!
Prince Albert used a red and blue pencil to cross the Grand Canal that communicated between the north and the south, and finally stayed on a "small town" he had never heard of, and drew a circle.
"Bessemai should have arrived in Xuzhou before the end of last year, and also brought a set of maximum daily output of up to 300 yuan.
Tons of converter...:" Viscount Palmerston shook the secret report on Sino-French technical cooperation just sent by the British Embassy in France. "Prince, the Chinese have greater industrial ambitions than we imagined!"
"A daily output of 300 tons?" Duke Wellington II was shocked. "Isn't it a year... able to produce 100,000 tons of steel? How many tons of steel did we produce last year?"
"About 120,000 tons," Foreign Minister Crowley, next to the fireplace, took off his single-piece glasses. "Although the daily output of the 300 tons of Beisemai converter is just a theoretical figure, and it is definitely far lower than 300 tons, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will definitely have tens of thousands of tons of steel annual output within a few years...:::. It is not impossible to surpass Britain in the future.
After all, they have more than 400 million people and a large territory in Europe!”
"What's even more terrifying is this." Viscount Palmerston took out a copy of the "Five-Year Industrial Plan of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" from his briefcase and spread it in front of Prince Albert: "They plan to complete 36 large-scale industrial projects in the next five years, including the steel plant, coking plant, large coal mine, large iron ore, dye factory in Xuzhou,
Sulfuric acid and nitric acid factory, Shanghai shipyard, steam engine factory, train locomotive factory, textile machine factory, arsenal,
The gunpowder factory also plans to build two railways from Shanghai to Tianjin, Xuzhou to Pukou, and plans to build 300 steam tugs for water transportation of the Yangtze River and the canal. ::::. In addition, they also plan to complete the preliminary literacy work in five years, and strive to make more than 300 million adult illiterate people understand two or three thousand Chinese characters. They also plan to open 100,000 primary schools.
Let children of appropriate age in the country receive at least 4 years of compulsory education...\n."
The British Prime Minister took a breath and said in a hoarse voice: "They are learning from Prussia! But how many people are in Prussia? They are thousands of square meters...
,"
There was a dead silence in the hall, only the bell ticked.
In 1857, China may have been poor and weak in the history books of later generations, and it cannot be more miserable. But it was a giant country with a land area of ​​more than 10 million square kilometers and a population of more than 400 million.
When China is lying still, the Western masters think that China is easy to bully, just a piece of fat, and must pounce on it and slaughter a few times. Even if China's own wealth is no longer enough to support so many people...
And when such a China really began to cheer up, the men of the British Empire began to be afraid.
After all, how many people are there in the UK? If China really wants to catch up, it is entirely possible for industrial production to catch up with the UK in just a few five years. And a strong country...:::. It will definitely dominate!
Viscount Palmerston narrowed his eyes and said, "We must stop this yellow plague...:::. We will start dealing with the Russians after we defeat the Russians!"
"Prime Minister, what should we use to deal with them?" Foreign Minister Crowley said with some worries. "The Xuzhou Iron and Steel Plant will be built no matter what, and the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau in Shanghai can already produce rifled guns and 64-pound cannons. If they have tens of thousands of tons of steel a year, it will be no problem to produce weapons that are enough to arm millions of troops..."
A giant country with a population of 40 million in the mid-19th century, as long as it really starts to work hard, it will soon make the old Western imperialism scare. After all, the old imperialism at that time was not "old".
They have just had the first industrial revolution!
Prince Albert suddenly took over the question of the British Foreign Secretary: "I know a way...::.:" He paused. "We must make all countries belonging to white civilizations aware of the threat of this giant yellow country! As long as all white civilization countries unite and oppose them together, their development will definitely be curbed. The real problem is that we ourselves are not united on this issue. Some countries will cooperate with them for short-term economic or other interests to provide them with the most advanced technology."
He was speechless when he said this. The Southern King Feng Yunshan seemed to be visiting Windsor Castle today and would visit Oxford University and Cambridge University tomorrow...\n.\n.\n.\n.\n.\n.\n.\n
"Prince, but how do we unite all white civilized countries?" Duke Wellington II broke the silence.
"We have many ways to think about, but the most critical one..." Prince Albert paused and said, "Of course, I open my eyes to look at China! We want to let the white civilized countries in Europe and America open their eyes to see this huge country that is rising!" He paused, "Two days ago, a friend of mine suggested to me to send a delegation of civil journalists and scholars to China to China.::::. Let them observe on the spot and bring the most real information back to Europe and display it in front of everyone. At that time, everyone will understand how terrible this country is!"
South Kensington, London, UK.
Bai Siwen got off a taxi carriage excitedly and walked into his luxurious residence quickly. A three servant quickly stepped forward to take his coat and hat. The two guests who had been waiting in the living room stood up.
It was Moore and Friedrich who bowed slightly to Bai Siwen.
