Heaven's Change of Fate

Chapter 53 Let's Make a Choice, Nalan Yuanshu
Yang Xin's words rang in Nalan Yuanshu's ears like Huang Zhong Dalu, and it was only then that Nalan Yuanshu began to truly examine the power of guns.

It takes ten years, 20 years, or even a lifetime to train a warrior, but it takes three months, or even less than three months, to train a soldier who can use firearms proficiently. This is the power of technology.

In fact, Nalan Yuanshu did not reject firearms. He had a revolver himself, but his revolver was relatively old and had limited lethality. Really powerful.

Next, Yang Xin led Nalan Yuanshu around the barracks. When Nalan Yuanshu saw the thick muzzle of the coastal defense gun, he couldn't help being stunned. A gun is already so powerful. Well, with such a thick muzzle, it can't be corroded for several miles in one shot.Nalan Yuanshu began to feel worried about the court, and Yang Xin blatantly took him to visit the military camp, which showed that Yang Xin had no fear of the court and had the confidence to challenge the court, otherwise he would not have allowed himself to visit so grandly.

Finally, Yang Xin brought Nalan Yuanshu to the construction site in full swing. Even at night, the military port was still under construction against the clock.

"Do you know what I'm building?" Yang Xin asked, pointing to the construction site.

"This is building a military wharf and port." Nalan Yuanshu is not a military novice, and Guangzhou itself has an entrance to the sea. Nalan Yuanshu has seen a military port before, but Nalan Yuanshu clearly feels that Yang Xin wants to build The military port of Guangzhou is obviously much larger than the port and wharf of Guangzhou.

"I bought eight Dreadnought-class battleships, six armored cruisers, six battlecruisers, sixteen light cruisers, 24 torpedo ships, and 36 U-boats powered by diesel engines. A battleship is a warship with a larger displacement than the Dingyuan and Zhenyuan ships of the Beiyang Navy." Yang Xin said quietly.

Nalan Yuanshu's eyes widened when he heard the words, and a trace of fear and shock flashed in his eyes that even Nalan Yuanshu himself hadn't noticed.

"Are you going to deal with the Beiyang Navy?" Nalan Yuanshu said in a shy voice. If what Yang Xin said is true, based on the data alone, the Beiyang Navy is not the opponent of Yang Xin's fleet at all.

"I don't need to deal with the Beiyang Navy. Someone will deal with the Beiyang Navy." Yang Xin said.

"Who?" Nalan Yuanshu blurted out.

"Waguo, Fusang, Dongying." Yang Xin said lightly.

Nalan Yuanshu looked at Yang Xin speechlessly. As for a country, should it be called by three different names?

"I have to say the important thing three times. Do you know what our neighbor is busy with?" Yang Xin snorted coldly, and without waiting for Nalan Yuanshu to answer, Yang Xin said to himself: "Our neighbor is doing something for Save money and buy British warships."

"The Yoshino is the most advanced warship this year, but it costs a lot. Wa is very poor and has little financial revenue. It is impossible to make a one-time payment, and Britain does not support loans. Therefore, Emperor Meiji of Wa decided to call on all people to donate. He announced that from now until the defeat of Beiyang Sailors only eat one meal a day, and the money saved is used to buy warships, and the queen also donates her jewelry."

"Under the lead of the royal family, all the merchants of the Japanese country burst out with unprecedented patriotic enthusiasm, spontaneously organized a "fundraising meeting", poured all the power of the whole country, and raised funds to bet on the country's luck."

"Among the folks, there are about 140 million women in Japan who went to Nanyang and went to brothels. They used their bodies to make money crazily, and then sent the money back to buy warships. So, Lord Nalan, you now know why I went bankrupt and put my money on the table. The income for the next 30 years is probably due to the secret purchase of warships from Germany at a high price and the construction of a military port here."

"There must be a battle for the Qing Dynasty! If the battle is defeated..." Yang Xin didn't go on, but his meaning was clear.

Nalan Yuanshu was shocked again. Nalan Yuanshu's eyes were wide open, staring at Yang Xin with disbelief, his body froze like a statue.

Yang Xin faced it frankly.

"Is all this true?" Nalan Yuanshu asked after a long time.

"Of course it's true. You can use your intelligence network to find out. There must be a battle in the Qing Dynasty, and the decisive battle is the naval battle. If the naval battle is lost, there is no barrier in the vast seas of the Qing Dynasty. Attack at the location." Yang Xin said, in fact, it is not necessary for Yang Xin to say, Nalan Yuanshu also understands that the key to the victory or defeat of the Qing-Japanese War lies in the naval battle.

"The Wa country is really a terrible country, don't you think Beiyang navy?" Nalan Yuanshu asked suddenly.

"Did you not count the virtues of the officials of the Qing Dynasty? You are definitely good at making money, but it is extremely difficult to do something practical. Let's say that the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau that provides shells for the Beiyang Navy, you dare to use the shells they provide. ?"

"In order to raise money, from the emperor to the citizens of Japan, Japan is united as one and does everything. What are we doing? Li Hongzhang has Weng Tonghe as a constraint, and Zaiyun is fighting for power with the Yehenala family. Yehenala Shi is currently repairing the Summer Palace for her 600th birthday, I heard that repairing the garden will cost [-] million taels of silver, plus other things, it will cost nearly tens of millions of taels of silver..."

"A Dingyuan ironclad ship is only 160 million taels of silver. If the Yehenala family used the money from their birthdays to buy warships, how could I not be optimistic about the Beiyang Navy? Unfortunately, the Yehenala family not only did not take the money Buying a warship is actually misappropriating the military expenses of the Beiyang Navy, so if you don’t die, you won’t die.”

"That's right, the Yehenala family is a ruthless person who said that she would send Jiangshan Shejining to allies and not to slaves. What does it have to do with the Beiyang Navy's undefeated defeat and the perishing of the Qing Dynasty? By the way, I remember Ye The Henala clan and the Aixinjueluo clan are feuds, and now the Yehenala clan is in power, is it to avenge that feud and destroy the Qing Dynasty?"

Nalan Yuanshu was silent for a long time, his head was in a mess like a paste, Yang Xin gave too much information today, Nalan Yuanshu didn't react for a while.

"You dare to call the Holy Majesty's name directly, and you actually call Lafayette Yehenara directly and slander Lafayette!" Nalan Yuanshu looked at Yang Xin angrily.

"Is it strange? I didn't call Yehenala's old women directly. I respect the old and love the young." Yang Xin shrugged and said very indifferently.

"You want to rebel!" Nalan Yuanshu was furious.

"Fart rebellion, I call it revolution, or set things right, let things go back to the way they should be. Of course, you can also understand it as expelling the Tartars and restoring China. The world belongs to the people of the world, not the Manchus. The Manchus cannot represent Huaxia, Manchus are only a member of Huaxia, and 56 ethnic groups including Han, Mongolian, Zhuang, Manchu, Hui, and Miao have merged into Huaxia.”

"Nalan Yuanshu, tell me your choice now. Will you submit to me to save the people in dire straits on this land, thereby creating an ideal world of Datong, or will you be loyal to the end and be buried with this decadent dynasty?"
