"Are you surprised?"

Yang Feng said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, we are just too sudden!"

John Forbes swallowed and said with some difficulty.

"Haha, you're very honest."

Yang Feng said.

"The minds of you mortals will never be comparable to gods like me. This plan seems to you to be exaggerated and crazy, but in fact it is just because your minds cannot reach my height. Now I will give you a detailed plan."

He then said proudly as if he had an attack on secondary school illness, pointing at San Francisco on the map.

"First of all, we must cooperate to establish a railway company. This railway company is called the Pacific Railway Company. It is a joint-stock system. It is jointly invested by the Ming Empire government and the Ming and American merchants. It raises shares in New York and Philadelphia. The amount of the fundraising is calculated. I will be responsible for solving the rest. Then this company established a base here. As for the disgusting Spaniards who left if they want to leave, and if they don't want to leave, they will be hung. It is carried out here to make it a trade hub, and the Ming Empire's transportation materials began to build railways eastward. At the same time, the railway materials were also started to be built westward in New York. The materials of this railway were provided by American merchants and were always built westward. But after entering the control area of ​​the Red Ghost, how to solve them must be the US government. I think the American army will not even be able to defeat the Red Ghost, right?

Finally, the railway was connected to a certain place in the central United States. It set off from the west coast of America with full Ming cargo and drove to New York Harbor. It was loaded with American merchant ships at New York Harbor and sent to any port.

We can get rid of the British completely.

The Ming steamship departing from Guangzhou can transport goods to the west coast of America within a maximum of two months, and the train can transport it to New York in a maximum of half a month, American merchant ships can get it to Europe in a maximum of one month, and in four months we completed the trade that British merchant ships took nine months to complete.

What is an advantage?

This is the advantage.

We will become the master of East-West trade.”

Yang Feng waved his arms excitedly and portrayed a bright future to the Forbes brothers and Dilano.

Although the future is very far away, it is really attractive. No matter what impact this railway has on the future trade pattern, it is dreamt of the United States. Although the slogan of Zhaotian Destiny has not been officially shouted, expansion to the west has become a consensus among Americans. In fact, this famous slogan is officially shouted next year. To expand to the west, it must be supported by railways. When the railway extends there, the territory will extend. Everyone knows this. However, the investment in building a railway across the Americas is also terrifying. At this time, the United States was not able to print money and make money. At this time, the United States was just a small role, and its international status may not be as good as the Qing Dynasty. Such huge investment could not afford it.

However, now there is a sucker who jumped out and realized the ideals of the American people. This...

This is simply...

"Your Majesty, you are so great. Only a great man like you can think of such a grand plan. You are creating an unprecedented miracle in human history. The miracle of the industrial age is the eighth miracle in the world. Please allow me to not serve you for the time being. I will return to the United States immediately, and let the President and the American people know that in China, there is a great emperor who will work with them to create this miracle!"

John Forbes said excitedly.

"Go and bring my greetings to the American people!"

Yang Feng waved his hand and said.

That's all, the American people will definitely take the bait. Who doesn't like the pie falling from the sky?

The significance of the Pacific Railway to the United States is not an exaggeration. It can be said that this railway is the spine of the United States. They did not have money to repair it at this time. The United States was very poor at this time. It was just burned down in Washington twenty years ago, and the westward movement had just begun. Even the US-Mexico War was still eight years later. At this time, the United States was a small bastard from the New World, relying mainly on exporting agricultural products to Europe. It was not much better than countries like Mexico. It was still entangled with the Indians. In addition, the first economic crisis had just broken out.

In short, they can't afford to build this railway.

At this time, a great man from the East came to the stage with gold and silver waving.

They will worship.

Then Chinese people can set foot on California continuously, and Yang Feng can also build fortresses in San Francisco. Although he did not say that Chinese colonization, there were no Americans there. Yang Feng had to build roads from San Francisco to the east, of course, he had to send workers from China. These Chinese people kept setting foot on California continuously. When there were 100,000 Chinese workers on this land, who else could this land be? Anyway, there was no attraction of gold mines across the entire west, even if there were immigrants in the United States, there were very few people.

Wherever the railway extends, the territory extends.

Americans expanded from east to west.

The Chinese expanded from west to east.

Before the railway was built, everyone was friends and collaborators, such as working together to beat Mexicans to force them to cede California and the western states.

After the railway is completed...

At that time, many years have passed. At that time, Yang Feng had almost settled the country and began to embark on the chariot of expansion. On this railway across the United States, the trains leaving San Francisco were loaded with Ming soldiers. Without this railway, the vast wastelands in the mid-west of the United States would block the Ming army's advance. Without the Panama Canal, Yang Feng would not have invaded the eastern United States by sea. With this railway, Yang Feng could have been able to continue to move forward along the railway.

The Americans are building a railway for him.

Of course, this is a very long-term plan, and it is estimated that it will take at least ten years.

Just when Yang Feng extended his claws to the United States, Wu Bingjian, who had completely calmed down, finally made a wise choice to exchange all his overseas investments for the Wu family's domestic industry. After all, this was his only choice. East India Company would not have vilified his loans before, but because Thirteen Banks controlled Chinese trade, East India Company must maintain cooperation with him. But now Thirteen Banks has become a thing of the past. If East India Company did not take the opportunity to vilify him, it would be a complete fool. Wu Bingjian is still relatively sober about the moral integrity of these ghosts.

Of course, the Wu family's land must be confiscated.

The Wu family's overseas assets, especially the East India Company's debtors, were included in the newly established People's Bank of China by Yang Feng. This bank is also his private property and the central bank of the Ming Empire. It is the only bank with the right to issue money. In this way, he became the largest creditor of the East India Company. In addition, there are also a lot of investments in the United States, which are actually the agents of the Forbes brothers for Wu Bingjian, and they are still temporarily represented by them. After John Forbes returns to the United States, he will lobby the United States to establish diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Yang Feng could send his own manager to the United States and officially begin to penetrate the United States' economy.

As for the East India Company’s claims...

This depends on his relationship with the United Kingdom.

In fact, the relationship between him and the United Kingdom had stalled. Even Elliot evacuated from Guangzhou and retreated to Macau. The assets of British merchants in Guangzhou were confiscated. However, Elliot did not come to him to ask about the Druid. Hundreds of British people were beaten to death or beheaded, including the sailors on these two warships. It is still uncertain how the British government will deal with this.

I guess I have to hit it.

After all, so many people died. Nowadays, British people don’t come to kill people and set fire to the fire. If there are people who dare to kill them, they are just stroking their tiger beards.

If you don’t beat him up, where is the majesty of the British Empire?

So Yang Feng must be prepared to get the British fleet. This time it will not be a fifth-class ship and a cruiser. Those 74-barrel battleships will definitely be on the stage. It is estimated that more than a dozen battleships will be available, but he can only rely on those three battleships in the short term. There is no way, after all, he needs steel to build this. Although he got Foshan, the largest iron smelting base in China at this time, Foshan has no iron ore. The iron ore is transported from northern Guangdong along the Dongjiang Water System, and it is still a controlled area of ​​the Qing army, so in a short time, he can only melt the high-quality pig iron produced in Foshan into a converter and make a small amount of steel.

The most important thing about these steels at this time is not to build warships, but to arm more army soldiers for his next expansion.

He wants to expand six brigades at one time.

He currently has three brigades, but Luo Dagang's only one in Jieyang was only two brigades. If he expanded six infantry brigades, he could form two armies, and then one army plus another artillery brigade, he would need nearly 20,000 rifles and more than 300 artillery types, so that his army could be enough.

Because what he had to deal with was not only the attacks launched by the British from the sea, but also the attacks launched by the Qing army from the land.

After the Battle of Humen, Chen Huacheng led the Fujian-Zhejiang Navy to Huizhou along the Dongjiang River, while Qishan led the Guangzhou officials and some Eight Banners Green Camps to escape to Shaoguan. Although the original Qing army in Guangdong was almost wiped out, the Qing army reinforced from Hunan had also arrived in Shaoguan. At this time, the governor of Huguang was Lin Zexu, and the Qing army led by the Guangxi Admiral Ma Dianjia also arrived. The Qing army led by the Fujian-Zhejiang Governor Wei Yuanying also arrived in Meizhou. In order to demonstrate his loyalty to the Qing Dynasty, Wei Lord Wei was of course mainly because of the fear that the geming plague would spread to them, and he even began to attack Luo Dagang in Jieyang on a large scale. The new Guangzhou generals had already taken office and were also famous figures...

Well, the new Guangzhou general is Yishan.

By the way, Guangdong was considered a huge army gathered and shining with stars. After all, Guangzhou’s fall was different from Xinhui. Guangzhou was the lifeblood of the Qing Dynasty’s finances. Without Guangzhou’s tax revenue, what would Daoguang use to support those hard-core farmers in the Eight Banners?

So Yang Feng had to fight against the Qing army that launched a large-scale counterattack.

He has to face enemies in both directions at the same time.
