1825 My New Daming

Chapter 72 Emperor Daoguang is probably crazy! (Seek collection, monthly pass, recommendation, follow-up)
When Nelson heard Baron Amherst's words, he also looked nervous, "What? Someone wants our British to pay money? Is it Daming? Did your East India Company do something about smuggler D?"

This Nelson and the group of military advisors from Zhuge's family are a good match. The military advisors are afraid of him, and he is also afraid of Daming!
The military advisers of Zhuge's family were afraid of him because of his illustrious military exploits. Nahuang's fleet back then was just as powerful, even surpassing the British Royal Navy on paper. In the end, it was defeated by the fleet led by Nelson.So this Nelson's ability to command the navy is really nothing to say.Today, the battle examples quoted in the teaching materials in the Daming Naval Academy are basically made by him.

When a student meets a teacher, it is inevitable that he will be a little cowardly.

And Nelson is afraid of Daming because of its industrial capacity. Although the total tonnage of shipbuilding in Daming is not as good as that of Great Britain, the output of major industrial products such as steel, electricity, petroleum, and coal in Daming is several times that of Great Britain. No one has many homes.

What's even more frightening is that Daming is also the world leader in industrial technology.Nine out of ten technologies used by the British Empire to manufacture ironclad ships were copied from Ming Dynasty.Moreover, Ming never exported the most advanced military-use technology, but exported a generation behind military-use technology.

In terms of industrial technology, the teacher is Da Ming, and Da Ying is the student!
So Nelson knows that although the Sovereign class looks similar to the Hongwu Great Emperor class on paper, they are not opponents if they really want to fight one-on-one. .So Nelson also has some chances of winning, but... it's better not to fight or not to fight!
In case of losing, wouldn't the fame of the first life be gone?
Seeing how nervous Mr. Nelson was, Baron Amherst quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, it's not Da Ming who is looking for trouble, but Da Jin."

"Daijin?" Nelson breathed a sigh of relief. Dajin is not afraid. Dajin's Eight Banners soldiers are all weak and superstitious barbarians, and they still live in the big valley in Central Asia. They have never seen it for generations. It is impossible for the sea to pose even the slightest threat to the British Royal Navy.

"Then why did Daikin want us to lose money?" Earl Nelson calmed down and asked, "Is it because of the East India Company's free trade policy?"

In Nelson's opinion, if the same piece of shit is sold to the vassal state of Ming Dynasty, it is a smuggler D, and if it is sold to Dajin, it is free trade.
Baron Amherst shrugged, "I don't know, we don't have any trade with the Promise Valley and the Kazakh grassland."

In the view of the governor of the East India Company, the Central Asian cities and tribes attached to Daikin, such as Bukhara, Samarkand, Khiva, etc., are not considered the territory of Daikin at all, so the East India Company sold it to Bukhin. The women of Hara, Samarkand, and Khiva have nothing to do with Daikin at all.

"Then why are they claiming compensation from us?" Nelson felt a little strange.

Amister couldn't answer this question either, so he said to Nelson, "Count, why don't we meet Qishan, the Consul General of Dajin Kingdom together."

Earl Nelson also had nothing to do, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's meet him together and listen to what he has to say?"

Borjijit Qishan, he is a Mongolian who belongs to Zhenghuang Banner of Manchuria. His ancestor was originally a Mongolian Taiji, and later he joined Nurhachi and became a Manchurian.Later, his ancestors followed Emperor Kangxi to the Wuji Valley, and it was easily passed on to him. He is also one of the few Eight Banners nobles who survived the butterfly effect and were still born normally.

However, his life growth trajectory is still completely different from the original one.He, a graduate of the Eight Banners aristocrat Wujigu Xiandao University, later studied in Jinling University in the Ming Dynasty and studied international politics.After graduating, he became a professional diplomat of the Dajin Kingdom, serving successively in Daming, France, and Raksha.During his tenure in France, he also met Emperor Napoleon, and Napoleon did a fortune-telling calculation, and he calculated a fortune in martial arts!
After finishing the calculation, Napoleon went to conquer Rakshasa.
Perhaps because he had a few encounters with Napoleon, the relationship between Qishan and Amishde (he met Napoleon who was under house arrest) has always been good. Before that, Daikin had no conflicts with the East India Company. The occasion of the meeting was either a dance or a reception, and I never expected that there would be such a thing as today-the Dajin Kingdom actually wanted to claim compensation from the East India Company, and even threatened war!

This is simply insane!
Although the British Empire's army ranks lower in the international arena than Rakshasa, Ming, Prussia, and France, it is not something that Dajin, a country squinting in the valley of Central Asia, can provoke!

But as a diplomat, Qi Shan had no choice but to bite the bullet and come to the Governor's Mansion to negotiate.

"Baron, ah, Earl Nelson, you are here!"

In the audience hall of the Governor's Mansion, Qi Shan, who was formally dressed in official uniforms and a summer hat, was so hot that sweat was all over his head and face when he saw Nelson and Amherst, he was still very polite. Greet them in English.

Amishd and Nelson also politely returned the gift. Amishd asked: "Mr. Borzigit, just now my secretary told me that you are representing the Dajin Empire government to claim compensation from the British Empire?"

"No, no, not to the British Empire," Qishan quickly shook his head, "Governor, my intention is to ask you to effectively curb the irresponsible smuggling trade of the East India Company. The territories of Bukhara and Samarkand brought a lot of losses. Many people became addicted to taking opioids and opioid products. In order to buy opioids and opioid products, many people committed crimes. The law and order situation is getting worse. As the protector of those two cities, Emperor Dajin hopes that you can order the East India Company to correct its wrong trade policies and make compensation."

Hearing this, Amishde really couldn't laugh or cry, "Qishan, do you know that I am the governor of the East India Company?"

Find the governor of the East India Company to sue the East India Company. This is no one!
Qi Shan nodded: "Of course I know, but Emperor Dajin ordered it."

Amishde thought for a while, and said: "Then I will ask someone to investigate. If what you said is true, I will ask someone to stop exporting pornographic films to Samarkand and Bukhara."

Of course, he wasn't really willing to stop the porn business, but was dealing with Qi Shan.After all, it is not the national policy of Great Britain to fight against Dajin.

At this time, Qishan had already found out a memo, handed it to the secretary of Amishde with both hands, and at the same time said helplessly: "Compensation is still needed."

"How much do you pay?" Amishad asked.

"Two, twenty one million silver dollars."

"What?" Amherst couldn't believe his ears, "Twenty-one million? You, you made a mistake, right?"

Earl Nelson also said, "Qishan, do you take two thousand or twenty thousand as twenty million?"

100 or 100, maybe Amherst gave it, but the [-] and [-] million is really unbelievable!And there is a fraction of [-] million, how is this calculated?
"There is no mistake," Qishan said, "It is indeed 100 million. I confirmed it twice, and that is the number!"

At this time, the diplomatic note issued in the name of the Consulate General has been delivered to Amishde. The note is written in both Chinese and English. As a senior diplomat in Great Britain, Amishde can also read Chinese, so he read the English version first. , and then carefully read the Chinese version word by word, and then said to Nelson with a look of surprise: "Earl, Emperor Daoguang is probably crazy.
"Crazy?" Nelson was taken aback, "What's wrong with him?"

"The Consulate General of Dajin told us that if we cannot pay 100 million silver dollars within six months, the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers of Dajin will launch an attack on India!"
