Of course it was to aid the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
In human terms, it means increasing trade with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Exchanging guns for people is definitely a good business, but it should not be limited to guns. Cannons and even warships can be sold to them as long as they can be purchased.
Exchange money, exchange people!
The most important thing is people!
Of course, the more important thing is to let the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom persist in this war. At least it will not lose so quickly.
As long as the confrontation between the Taiping Rebellion and the Manchus continued, even if Argentina successfully lobbied the Manchus to ban labor exports in the future, it would not have much impact on South China.
Because only during a war can local officials do whatever they want, and only during a war can many things be ignored.
Why did the Qing Dynasty's ban play a certain role in the simulator? In the final analysis, it was because they banned the export of Chinese workers directly from the port. Those large ocean-going ships can sigh at the "port" and can no longer act without scruples like they did during the war.
In and out of any bay, local officials no longer dare to act as recklessly as in the past.
In one sentence, aiding the Taiping Rebellion would do no harm to South China.
"After you go back this time, tell Kunpeng, Fugui and the others to try their best to negotiate with the Taiping Army. As long as they are supplies we can buy, we can sell them to them."
In the office, facing Li Yunqi who had returned with the immigrants, Zhu Xianhai said directly as soon as he saw him.
"In a word, the stronger the Taiping Army is, the better it is for us."
Only when the Manchu Qing's attention was attracted by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, they would not pay attention to other things, and Nanhua could also get a sufficiently generous reward from it - human resources.
"Boss, I'm afraid this matter won't be easy to handle. It's very cheap for us to buy guns from India, but cannons are different. We have to have a foreign company come forward and buy them in Singapore."
Buy guns from India!
This absolutely subverts Zhu Xianhai's understanding. In fact, many people do not know that as early as the Napoleonic War, India was the most important rifle production base for the United Kingdom. The "Jerbes Rifles" produced by the East India Company were not only cheap but also available in large quantities.
, there are millions of them, and it can even be said that it was the rifles produced by the Isabella Arsenal in India that supported the British Army's battles during the Napoleonic Wars.
The current Isabella Arsenal was expanded again during the Indian Rebellion and produced the latest p1853 rifles. Before the arsenal in Nanhua could not produce large-scale rifles, Indian goods were also a good substitute.
"Well, a cannon..."
After thinking about it, Zhu Xianhai said.
"Let's make it ourselves. We have the equipment and technicians. Let's first make a batch of 12-pound field guns. Besides, we also have grenades and grenades. We can sell these to them."
It would not be a bad thing to let Zeng Shao, Li Zhongtang and others enjoy the "storm" of new explosives.
At least for Nanhua, this is not a bad thing.
Facing his boss's instructions, Li Yunqi didn't even think about it before he answered, "It's business, it's done by everyone, and it's just like selling to the Taiping Army for money."
"Oh, by the way, Yun Qi, I remember you said that there were people in your family who joined the Taiping Army at that time. This time you go over and inquire about their whereabouts. If you find them, you can exchange them with guns or use them.
No matter how much money you buy, we must take them out. Also, by the way, find out the whereabouts of the old brothers’ family members, take them all over, and reunite the brothers with their families..."
"My boss..."
Before Zhu Xianhai could finish speaking, Li Yunqi knelt down and kowtowed excitedly.
"My boss, the little one, the little one will be shattered to pieces. The boss is so kind and kind!"
"Hey, look, Yun Qi, I told you earlier that we don't like this here, so don't kneel down easily next time..."
He said this, but Zhu Xianhai did not help him up.
This is giving grace!
What are you and what are we?
To put it bluntly, it is oneself and outsiders. For Zhu Xianhai, his "us" is the Chinese. In the simulator, it is clearly proved that "people who are not my race must have different hearts." Compared with white people,
Chinese talents are the foundation of Nanhua.
Among the hundreds of thousands of Chinese immigrants in South China, there are people from Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, Fujian, Hakka, Guangfu, Shandong, and even Henan.
But no matter what, what is his basic team?
It was the more than 1,800 Chinese workers he rescued from Brazil. Their common experiences and sufferings made them no longer a small group of fellow workers. Zhu Xianhai was life-saving to all of them.
Whether he was a "liberator of slaves" or a "general commander of South China", anyone would betray him, but they never betrayed him.
Of course, some of them were eliminated due to corruption and the erosion of power, but what is certain is that they can be trusted.
It can be foreseen that in the future, these people will be Zhu Xianhai's most solid team, showing kindness to win over people's hearts... Isn't this a matter of course?
Of course, in the simulator, some of them were looking for their relatives in private, and some of them found Nanhua after the war. What's wrong with taking the initiative to show kindness now?
"Give him sincerity and repay him with loyalty."
This is a harmonious relationship!
Looking at Li Yunqi who was so excited that he burst into tears, Zhu Xianhai said.
"Okay, go and get busy. After a few days, you can pack up and go back. There are personal matters to take care of, but official matters are also important!"
"Yes, don't worry, my boss. Even if I die, I will never dare to delay my boss's important events."
Li Yunqi said while wiping his tears.
"Look what you said, if you die, who will do anything for me? Besides, your son may still be alive and well in Nanjing, or waiting for you to return somewhere!"
"Yes, yes, Citrix is definitely alive, definitely alive..."
Li Yunqi murmured, thinking about his son, his eyes were red and he couldn't even speak to himself for a while.
Seeing his excited look, Zhu Xianhai pursed his lips and patted his shoulder. It wasn't until he left and looked at his back that he sighed.
In the simulator, Li Yunqi did find his son and brought his son to Nanhua!
[On October 27, 1877, more than 20,000 Chilean army and navy troops conquered the Rock Fortress outside Linhai City in 135 days. The commander of the fortress, Lieutenant Colonel Li Sijie, committed suicide and died for his country. All 800 defenders below him were killed, and none of them surrendered to the enemy...
…]
Recalling the people who died on the battlefield in the "Patriotic War" in the simulator, Zhu Xianhai swore silently.
"Don't worry, you will never die like that this time..."
Yes!
The last time, Nanhua was not defeated by a backstab, not by Argentina, not by Chile, not even by England's "shit stick", but by itself!
Defeated by its own manpower shortage, the lack of human resources not only limited Nanhua's industrial development, but also limited the size of Nanhua's army.
Dialogue between countries is based on strength, and the reason why South China has become the fat in their eyes is precisely because of its weak human resources.
"Backstab... you have a beautiful idea!"
With a cold smile, Zhu Xianhai's eyes were full of contempt. Now that he has taken control of the future, the only thing left is to solve it in a targeted manner.
As long as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom continues to fight, and as long as Chinese immigrants continue to arrive, the tragedy in the simulator will not happen again.
The corners of his lips raised slightly, and Zhu Xianhai said softly.
"Now, there is another problem that needs to be solved!"
