With such a powerful bodyguard, Ye Anping naturally welcomed him very much. The two ships continued to sail northeast one after another. Sister Caiyi, who knew his dark psychology very well, enthusiastically invited Ye Zi to the Nautilus.
After being a guest, taking a shower, combing her hair, and then changing into more fashionable clothes, an ugly little girl covered in oil and blood immediately turned into a white swan, well, or it could also be said to be a black swan.
With a healthy skin complexion like wheat, shockingly long legs, and the visual effect caused by the fact that Caiyi’s sister’s clothes were obviously one size smaller, Boss Yang, who was chewing on a green apple, got the meat in one bite.
Seeing him covering his mouth and screaming, a pair of young beauties were beaming with smiles.
However, not long after he walked out like this, Boss Yang couldn't stand it anymore. The speed of the small steamer was so slow that he simply dropped a rope and tied it to it, and then it was towed by the Nautilus. The displacement of the steamer was less than 300 tons.
It was just a small boat. Even with such a burden, the half-power Nautilus still ran twenty-five knots, which astonished Ye Anping and the sailors on his boat.
The rest of the voyage was completed in less than twenty-four hours. In the early morning of the next day, the emerald green coast could already be seen in the distance. Ye Zi, who walked out of the room with sister Caiyi, was immediately excited.
He pulled her and pointed, speaking in dialect so fast that Yang Feng couldn't understand a word of it anyway. He probably wanted to invite her to his home as a guest or something like that.
The small steamer untied the rope and drove forward. As the pilot ship, the Nautilus slowly sailed into the dog harbor. This strange monster immediately shocked everyone's jaws, including a British merchant ship and a ship in the harbor.
There were screams of surprise all over the American merchant ships.
They knew very well what this famous black monster in the New and Old Worlds meant. Before the Nautilus even docked, the British consul stationed here hurried to the dock with a group of ghosts to greet her.
Yang Feng was very surprised at this. He did not expect that such a small port would actually have a British consulate. This shows how pervasive these ghosts are. Under the humble welcome of the British consul, the Chinese people around him were stunned.
In his eyes, Boss Yang arrogantly disembarked from the ship with his sister Caiyi on his arm, and then moved directly into the British consul's official residence. This scene shocked Ye Anping. You must know that the British consul here is simply the emperor, and the magistrate of Fengshan County is in front of him.
They didn't even dare to straighten their backs, so in front of such a big shot, Yang Feng almost had to lie down and lick his toes.
"You didn't ask who this Mr. Yang is?" he asked his daughter in a low voice.
"Sister Caiyi said that Mr. Yang is good friends with their crown prince and many lords in the UK, and they have huge industries in the United States, Britain, and a country called Sweden, which are so big that they are scary.
, she is just a maid, and many ladies in the UK have to be polite when they see her." Ye Zi said, it is obvious that Sister Caiyi has done a good job in promoting her.
Ye Anping took a breath of air.
At this time, Dagou Port belonged to Fengshan County, Tainan Prefecture. On the night when Yang Feng arrived, he met Fengshan County Magistrate Li Gan at the welcome banquet of the British Consul. Of course, he wanted to build a special dock and a military base here.
A small county magistrate would definitely not dare to agree, let alone agree. He just heard that Yang Feng wanted to dock armed merchant ships here, and for his own safety, he also stationed a team of no less than 200 people here.
Bodyguard, this has scared the magistrate so much that his legs are shaking a little.
Don't talk about him, even Tainan Magistrate Feng Fang's legs were trembling a little after hearing the news. He knows that these foreign devils are capable of all kinds of unbelievable things. Although this guy is just a fake foreign devil, according to the intelligence from all sides, it seems that he is better than
The foreign devil is really scary. If he really wants to station two hundred bodyguards in Dagou Port, who knows what will happen in the future?
Of course, there is no need for him to take over such a headache. He can just report it directly to Shao Youlian, the governor of Taiwan. Shao Youlian also had a headache after hearing this. He knew nothing about Yang Feng. It had only been two years since Boss Yang had risen, and in the past two years,
He has been keeping filial piety for his mother at home. He has only been in Taiwan for a few days and is not very well-informed about external news, let alone distant Europe, so he chose the most effective way of handling this kind of matter as a Qing official.
drag.
"Are you reporting to Shangguan to discuss the matter?" Boss Yang, who had waited for two days to get such a reply, looked at Fengshan County Magistrate in astonishment.
"Mr. Yang, this is a serious matter, and the lower officials have no right to reply. It must be reported to the magistrate Ming. I dare not agree to this matter before getting the permission of the magistrate." Li Gan said with a smile.
"Then when will you give me an answer?" Yang Feng asked in a bad tone.
"Even my subordinates don't know this!"
"cao!" Boss Yang cursed angrily, and Li Gan pretended that he didn't hear anything.
Yang Feng naturally knew that waiting for them to agree would be a long time coming. After this guy returned to the British Consulate with a depressed look on his face, and heard about his experience, the British Consul smiled and said: "Mr. Yang, you don't need to get their consent.
You may not be used to the way officials in this country work. If you make requests to them through legal means, they won't take it seriously. But if you use illegal means, it will be easy to achieve your goals.
For example, you can give the magistrate a thousand silver dollars, and then you can directly buy land at the port to build whatever you want. The magistrate will turn a blind eye, and the prefect will also turn a blind eye.
If the governor was an official who knew how to serve, he would turn a blind eye. If something really happened, he would just remove Fengshan County Magistrate from his post.
When the docks, warehouses, and companies you want are built, then just bring your bodyguards over and station them here. They have no guts to expel them, and based on your relationship with the Royal Navy, they will call two warships from Hong Kong to escort them here.
, let alone stationing two hundred bodyguards, there will be no problem even if you station two thousand of them."
Well, Boss Yang found that this was indeed the most effective method, so he invited Ye Anping over that night. Old Ye was a local, and he had some status. Naturally, he had some friendship with the Fengshan County Magistrate.
Of course Yang Feng was willing to help. Soon the HSBC check for two thousand silver dollars was sent out, and the construction of Yang's shipping base was officially started in Dagou Port.
With the help of the British consul and Ye Anping, as well as the staff of Jinyuan Company called from Hong Kong and Bofors Matheson Professionals called from Shanghai, all the construction went smoothly. Of course, he did not have to take responsibility for these small things personally. As a
The big boss just drinks tea, picks up girls, and occasionally goes to the construction site to be friendly with the people.
However, the scale of his construction in Dagou Port still left many people stunned. He dredged the channel, built two large deep-water berths that can dock 5,000-ton ships, ten medium-sized berths that can dock 3,000-ton ships, and one
A large shipyard is enough to accommodate the maintenance of 5,000-ton ships, and a large warehouse of staggering scale can be built on land. If these warehouses can accommodate people, it is estimated that it will be easy to accommodate 5,000 people.
This kind of construction scale made Li Gan and Fang Fang panic-stricken. The thousand silver dollars were very hot to get, but they couldn't regret it at this time, because at the invitation of Boss Yang, two gunboats of the British Far East Fleet came from Hong Kong.
They sailed here and then stayed directly at Dagou Port. However, considering the mental torture they suffered, Yang Feng asked Lao Ye to give them another two thousand, and now the two adults also risked their lives.
Standing on the top of the mountain next to the port, Boss Yang looked at the busy bay below with a proud look. This will be his naval base in the future. After it is completed, he will directly bring cruisers and destroyers over to prepare for the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895.
When the time comes, we are prepared to run out and take advantage of the situation. When the time comes, we will take the opportunity to participate in the war and go to Japan to burn, kill and loot. It is worth looking forward to.
An armored cruiser, four high-speed destroyers, and preferably six large landing ships, the kind that can directly land on the beach. With the current shipbuilding technology, this thing has no difficulty at all. It is nothing more than an iron tank with an engine.
Tank, coupled with a high-power diesel engine, plus a few artillery pieces, the 130 cannon is very suitable, which is enough to carry an amphibious combat force of 5,000 people.
Escorted by cruisers and destroyers, these five thousand people would then specifically plunder the coast of Japan, find cities with beaches, use landing ships to seize the beaches, and use the three-guang policy to quickly withdraw to the sea before the Japanese could react.
If the combined fleet sends warships to encircle and suppress them, then except for Yoshino and Naniwa, none of their warships can keep up with the speed of their own fleet. The flat-bottomed amphibious landing ship, equipped with a high-power diesel engine, will probably not be less than twenty knots at its fastest speed.
, which is already faster than most protected cruisers.
As for Yoshino and Naniwa, if they dare to come, use the armored cruiser to contain the firepower, and the high-speed destroyer to use steam gas torpedoes to kill them instantly.
Thinking of this, he seemed to be able to see the fire in Tokyo, and the scene of His Majesty the Emperor being rouled by him. What an intoxicating scene it was.
This guy was thinking about the future there and enjoying the sound of the Japanese people crying. He saw two warships flying the Yellow Dragon flag at the seaport below slowly approaching. They were not big in size. They were at most large gunboats. Their shapes were almost
They are exactly the same, with a single chimney and three masts, and they look extremely ugly.
