lied to Kangxi

Chapter 628

"You are more familiar with the roads of Dongwu, and there are many old acquaintances in each country, um...understand?" Yuzhu is well versed in the way of cooperation.

The so-called cooperation means that each takes what it needs and acts together.

After listening to Yuzhu's words, Johnson felt at ease. As long as Yuzhu asked him something, the next thing would be easy to handle.

So, with Alice acting as the broker in the negotiation, Yuzhu and Johnson negotiated the conditions of cooperation one by one.

To be honest, the British East India Company has long wanted to swallow the exclusive trading rights of Dongwu.

It's a pity that the British Empire is still entangled with France, and for a while, they can't get away from it, and they can't conquer Dongwu by force.

Coincidentally, Yuzhu brought a large army over, and the East India Company only needed to organize more than a thousand people to assist the Qing army in fighting, and they could reap huge rewards.

Such a cheap deal, why not do it?

So, after negotiation, Johnson's wife, only son and daughter all stayed as hostages.He himself returned to Than Lien first, and privately contacted Leland, Governor of Dongwu of the British East India Company.

After Johnson left by boat, Alice was responsible for settling his wife and daughter.

Yuzhu sat by the window drinking tea, admiring the beautiful scenery of Dagon Bay.

Expedition to Dongwu, showing prestige in foreign lands, Yuzhu is obviously in a good mood.

After about an hour, Alice came back, and she told Yuzhu, "Honey, I never thought that Johnson's wife would ask me to throw his mistress into the sea to feed the sharks, crying."

Yuzhu smiled slightly, from Britain, to France, to the two teeth in the Iberian Peninsula, without exception, all the culture of mistresses is popular.

In fact, the deeds of Admiral Nelson, the famous British admiral, and his mistress Emma Hamilton were even made into a movie, which was widely circulated in the Western world.

"Surely she won't let you help for nothing?" Yuzhu asked Alice with a smile.

Alice stuck out her tongue and said with some embarrassment: "She said that as long as I am willing to help, she is willing to pay 1000 pounds as a reward."

Yuzhu blinked, good guy, if a woman becomes ruthless, she is really willing to spend her money.

You know, in today's London city, the expenses of 5-10 pounds per month can already live very comfortably!

Yuzhu knew it well, the British pound today is not the British pound that has lost its financial hegemony, it is old and valuable!
"How did you reply to her?" Yuzhu asked Alice amusedly.

Alice said with a smile: "I told her, respected lady, I am not greedy for money, I don't love money, and it is impossible for me to do anything wrong!"

Yuzhu smiled shallowly, and said: "It's only a small amount of money, it's not enough to bribe you to do things for her!"

Alice stared at a pair of almond eyes, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "That's my hard work, understand?"

"Hard work? Well, this title is quite worthy." Yuzhu knew better than anyone else that she couldn't reason with women.

In Dagon Bay in winter, both Yuzhu and Alice wear less clothes because they are close to the equator.

As a result, programs that are not suitable for children naturally happened.

Yuzhu's troops waited in Dagon Bay for two days, and Johnson came back happily.

"Dear Your Excellency, we can send out 1000 people, bring our own guns, and lead the way for the entire army. But, the harvest along the way, at least [-]% or [-]%." When Johnson made the request, his face was not red, his heart was not beating. In keeping with the style of the old robber.

Yuzhu knew very well that Johnson was not stupid, and this was obviously a deliberate test of his sincerity for cooperation.

If Yuzhu agreed very readily, Johnson would become suspicious instead.

Therefore, Yu Zhu raised two fingers and said decisively: "Twenty to eighty points, you two, we eight, children are not deceived."

"Twenty to eighty cents, too little. We British warriors will never participate in any loss-making business." Johnson jumped up and down like an old cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"It can only be [-]% to [-]%, and it is impossible to add a penny." Yuzhu insisted on the ratio of the profit from the robbery, and he was determined not to let go.

After some bargaining, the ratio of spoils was finally fixed at [-]%.

Originally, Johnson and the governor of Dongwu, Leland, negotiated a ratio of filth, which was actually [-] percent.

After all, the difference in military strength is extremely large. In the colonial era, the British have always paid attention to the logic that strength is king.

After the negotiation was settled, Yuzhu's fleet, taking advantage of the dark night and guided by the lights of the British Leading Party, docked one after another.

Dagon is also slightly larger than the fishing village, and was soon completely occupied by the Qing army.

Under the organization of the British merchants, the fleet led by Yuzhu sailed smoothly into the mouth of the Irrawaddy River and headed upstream.

The Irrawaddy River is the largest river in Dongwu.This river was called "Great Jinsha River" or "Ruili Water" in the Qing Dynasty, which is the modern Dulong River, or Ruili Water.

Coincidentally, Ava City, the capital of the Dongwu Dynasty, happened to be located on the banks of the Irrawaddy River.

Ava City is indeed an unfamiliar name.However, its modern name, Mandalay City, as long as you know the history of the expeditionary force, you must know the significance of this city.

Yu Zhu knew nothing about the hydrology of the Ayeyarwady River, which was the fundamental reason why the British Leading Party was needed.

However, Britain has been operating the Shalian stronghold for decades, and has already got a clear picture of Dongwu's mother river.

In fact, the French missionary Bai Jin brought a detailed map of the Qing Dynasty drawn by others, which was a good helper for the big powers to invade the Qing Dynasty.

It's all old routines, and Yuzhu is very familiar with them.

According to the British, the Dongwu Dynasty had a relatively powerful infantry, and the Dongwu people's navy was all small broken ships, which were completely vulnerable.

Facts have also proved that the hydrological data secretly surveyed by the British is indeed extremely reliable.

The huge fleet led by Yu Zhu had already appeared on the river within a hundred miles outside of Awa City. The Dongwu people suddenly realized that they hurriedly gathered soldiers and horses to fight.

Under the guidance of the British Leading Party, when the army was waiting at the port, Yuzhu held the side of the boat and silently watched the majestic appearance of the elite new army landing.

The Yuzhu at this moment has quite a sense of sight when the British army, armed with modernization, landed on the territory of the Qing Dynasty during the Opium War.

Well, how should I put it, Yuzhu's mood is extremely complicated.

Not only some feel pity for the Dongwu people, but more are the excitement of showing their prestige outside the territory.

Yes, an inexplicable colonial thrill.

This was the Qing Dynasty's conquest of Dongwu, and it was also Yuzhu's first encroachment war.

In this battle, Yuzhu did not wish to destroy the Dongwu Kingdom, but referred to the British way of doing things, cede land and pay compensation to surrender.

After the death of the old emperor, when the time is right, before Yuzhu wants to conquer Sanguo, he will definitely bring the task force to visit the old place again.
