Chapter 101 Dragons and Lions Competing and Packs of Wolves Surrounded by Who Will Have the Last Laugh
Chapter 101: Dragons and lions fighting, surrounded by wolves, who will have the last laugh? (Start, please read!)
Camp on the Amu Darya River, the residence of the Emperor of Jin Dynasty.
"Hahaha, Great Britain is nothing more than that. Mingying must have a battle. This is a battle between dragons and lions. The intensity will definitely exceed the Napoleonic War. Maybe I, Dajin, can take this opportunity to change my destiny! Hahaha!"
The one who is counting the future international trends with his fingers is, of course, Fat Daoguang from the Kingdom of Jin. Today is already December 12th, and the wind and snow around the Hinduku Mountains stopped the day before yesterday.
, Zheng Guoxian, Mu Junen and the others had already returned to the Amu Darya camp on the first airship returning from Peshawar. They also brought back the good news of the great victory in Peshawar and the memorial that Wu Zhenfa had blown up to the world.
According to Wu Zhen's memorial, he took the lead, bravely risked his weapons and artillery, and fought bravely to kill the enemy. He fought back the British-Indian-Sikh coalition forces one by one for a thousand, and killed thousands of the enemy with his own hands in three rounds of fierce attacks.
The real "thousands of people killed"!
Under the leadership of General Wu, 3,000 Golden Heavenly Soldiers and 2,000 Peshawar warriors defeated 30,000 enemy troops with 5,000 men in the decisive battle of Peshawar on November 28, killing the prisoners.
There were more than 6,000 enemies! In the east and south of Peshawar city, corpses were strewn in the fields, and blood flowed into rivers! After fighting to the end, the enemy generals rested. Gaofu cried loudly and returned, leading 20,000 defeated troops to retreat to Mardan and Khyber Pass.
It maintained a retreat route for the British and Indian troops entering Afghanistan. The Jin soldiers themselves suffered only three to four hundred casualties, of which less than 200 were killed. It can be said to be an unprecedented victory!
After receiving Wu Zhan's memorial, Emperor Daoguang calculated it with his fingers and divided it by two. He concluded that Prince Wu had indeed won a victory in Peshawar that was enough to make the Kingdom of Jin feel proud!
After all, the opponent is the arrogant British Empire!
"Your Majesty, my servant He Shen congratulates your Majesty and congratulates Your Majesty on this unprecedented victory. I am confident enough to go to Europe. I am sure to get a reward of 20 million silver dollars from your Majesty. No, it is salary."
Heshen and Zhongtang, who were about to leave for Europe to "ask for rewards", immediately smiled and promised Daoguang that the price offered by the Kingdom of Jin was 21 million, and the fraction of one million could be wiped off, and they could get up to two
Ten million, that would be considered an unprecedented success.
Of course, the British army must also withdraw from Afghanistan and Peshawar. That is the benefit Daoguang promised to his half-brother Dost Muhammad Khan. The latter has become the emir of Afghanistan, so he naturally wants to try to unify the country.
Afghanistan. Peshawar, under British protection, was the biggest obstacle to his unification of Afghanistan.
"Your Majesty, my servant Mu Zhang'a is also your Majesty and congratulates Dai Jin. However, I think that since we have won this point, why not continue our efforts to annihilate the British and Indian troops deep in Afghanistan in one fell swoop, and then take advantage of the situation to enter India to complete the mission of Emperor Gaozong?
The emperor’s last wish!”
"Your Majesty, your servant Sai Shan'a also thinks that India has great potential! If I, Dajin, can conquer India, then it will be especially obvious to restore it to its former glory!"
After listening to Mu Zhang'a and Sai Shang'a's suggestions, Emperor Daoguang turned back and looked at Heshen.
Heshen said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the current situation is that the dragon and the lion are fighting. A pack of wolves surrounds the lion. Although the lion is weaker than the dragon, it is still a piece of cake to kill one or two wild wolves. I am big
The reason why Jin was able to win the Battle of Peshawar so smoothly this time, half of the credit must go to the Ming Dynasty. Without the Ming Dynasty’s airships, without the Ming Dynasty’s machine guns, without the Ming Dynasty’s barbed wire, without the Ming Dynasty’s airborne method and
How can we win so happily in the Eight Diagrams Machine Gun Formation? And the reason why Ming Dynasty has given us so many benefits is not to use us to test the reality of Daying? Now Daying's external strength and internal incompetence have been exposed to Ming Dynasty. The battle between dragon and lion,
It’s about to begin! We, Daikin, are just one of a pack of wolves after all!”
"Well said!" Daoguang smiled and nodded, "Having an elder in the family is like a treasure, and having an elder in the country is like a treasure! He Shen, when it comes to analyzing the international trends, no one in our country is better than you. How can you do it again?
Tell me, among the wolves in this world, besides me, Dajin, who else is there?"
"Hey!" He Shen agreed, "Replying to the emperor, I think that in today's world, the Ming Dynasty is the strongest and the British are the most powerful. In fact, it's like a strong dragon fighting a fierce lion. It's hard to tell the difference for a while. And this
The battle between the dragon and the lion gave the second-class powers in the world the opportunity to rise. According to the slave, the second-class powers in the world include France, Rakshasa, Prussia, Austria, Sweden, the Netherlands, the United States, and Spain.
, Japan, Turkey and our country, the Golden Kingdom, all have the opportunity to rise through the dragon-lion struggle. Among them, France and Rakshasa may even become the hegemons of the European continent! Prussia and Austria have the opportunity to unify all the virtues, and the United States has
It may take advantage of the world war to absorb talents and capital from the European continent. European powers such as Sweden, the Netherlands, and Spain also have the opportunity to expand their power. Turkey may receive assistance from the United Kingdom after losing Greece to retain its remaining territory. China and Japan
The country can be sold at a price, and as long as you seize the opportunity, you can change your destiny against the odds!"
Heshen's mind is still very clear. Although Daikin scored a huge victory in the beginning, among the second-tier powers in the world, in terms of real strength, Daikin is still at the bottom!
Daoguang twirled his beard and asked: "Heshen, can I, Daikin, only be able to rub shoulders with Japan?"
Heshen smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, although the people's livelihood of our country, Daikin, far exceeds that of Japan, our national strength, Daikin, is indeed only comparable to that of Japan, or even worse. Because among all the second-class powers, we are the only one."
Japan's industrial base is the worst. Although our land is vast and our resources are rich, we have no seaport to introduce technology and export products, so industrial development is extremely difficult. Although Japan has a seaport, it has not developed its industry.
The resources needed, and the Ming Dynasty, which is close to Japan, is not willing to sell resources to Japan at low prices to help them industrialize. Therefore, although the Japanese work hard and do whatever it takes to raise capital for industrialization, they still cannot develop. Without an industrial foundation, naturally
It can only be the bottom country among the second-class powers. But Japan's national population exceeds 30 million, while our national population of Daikin is only more than 3 million, only one-tenth of Japan's. And Japan's industrial ratio is
We, Daikin, are still stronger, and if we, Daikin, want to surpass Japan in terms of national strength, we have to solve the problem of access to the sea."
In fact, there is a difference between "poor" in Daikin and "poor" in Japan. "Poor" in Daikin means "poor" that means you don't have to worry about food and drink, you don't have to worry about raising children, you don't have to worry about housing, and you don't have to worry about children going to school.
There are fewer people and more resources, but due to underdeveloped transportation and backward industry, resources cannot be realized, and the country cannot industrialize, resulting in "poverty" with a very small economic aggregate.
The "poverty" in Japan refers to the "poor" that can hardly afford to eat. It refers to the "poor" that has a large population and few resources, the industry is restricted by resources, and the market cannot develop, and the more than 30 million people can only struggle below the poverty line.
". However, thanks to the "spillover" effect of the Ming Empire and the needs of Western countries to support Japan and restrain the Ming Dynasty, Japan can still reluctantly establish some industries, especially heavy industries. Therefore, although Japan's people's livelihood is very poor, the national strength is still more than
Big gold.
And Daikin is at the bottom among the great powers!
Daoguang sighed and said to Mu Zhang'a and Sai Shan'a: "Do you understand? Although we, Dajin, won the battle of Peshawar, we must not be arrogant. After all, we are the strongest among the second-class powers.
One of the poorest countries! We are in today's situation entirely because Ming Dynasty gave us guns and airships. And their purpose of giving us guns and airships was not to make us strong and take over India, but just to make us stronger.
To explore the bottom of Britain. Now that their goal has been achieved, they will not be so generous in the future.
Moreover, the Ming Dynasty and Great Britain are both world empires, and their ships are slow to turn around. A war between them cannot be fought. And as long as they do not start a war, we will not be able to enter India in a large scale. Otherwise, we will fight alone.
Britain!"
"The Emperor's Holy Ming!"
Daoguang nodded and said to Heshen: "Heshen, go back to Bagua City to prepare and set off after the New Year."
"Hey, this slave takes the order!"
