At this moment.
"This time, I've brought a gift.”
Liu Yongfu laughed and said,"There's no need for gifts. As long as you can take good care of your brothers in the navy, it's fine."”
Dong Xuan took out a book and said,""At the end of this book, there are some methods of using firearms in the West. Perhaps it will be of some help to you on your trip to Annan.”
After hearing Dong Xuan's words.
"Oh, I'll have to see." Liu Yongfu said in surprise.”
As he spoke, he took the book and read the title," The rise of a great nation."
Dong Xuan continued," The first part of this book records the rise of nine countries, including Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan, Russia, and the United States. It also sums up some of the rules of the rise of these countries. After reading this book, you may have some understanding of France.”
Because he did not know what kind of world it would be, before entering this world, he had to make a decision.
Dong Xuan also bought some books and stored them in his space.
After all, if the New World was in ancient times, there would be no entertainment activities.
At the very least, the existence of these books would prevent him from being too bored. When he was free, he could also use them as entertainment.
The rise of a superpower was one of them.
However, in the late Qing Dynasty, there was no such thing as World War I or World War II.
The history of the movie world.
Although it was roughly the same as the main world, there were some differences between the two worlds.
In the past few years.
Dong Xuan combined the situation of this world.
Some of the content in the book that did not match this era had been deleted and reorganized.
Although the content had been greatly reduced.
However, it could also allow the Chinese of this era to have some understanding of the major countries in this world.
At the end of the book, Dong Xuan also added the use of firearms in the armies of various countries.
Originally, he was prepared to publish another book on the use of firearms. However, he was worried that the world would not pay attention to it, so he attached it to the rise of a big country.
At the very least, the people who read this book should be people with good intentions. Perhaps they would take it seriously.
The reason why the Qing court had suffered such a terrible defeat in the Eight-Nation Alliance.
The most important reason was that although they had advanced firearms, most of the generals 'combat thinking was still stuck in the cold weapon era.
They didn't know how to start a war in the age of firearms.
Dong Xuan only hoped that the contents of his book could change some people's minds.
However, he did not know how many people there were.
After all, many people were very stubborn, conservative, and did not know how to adapt.
They were resistant to anything new.
This was also the corruption that the pseudo-Confucians had done to the people of this era in terms of education, making them very stubborn.
……
Originally, Liu Yongfu was a general.
It was not appropriate for Dong Xuan to give him books.
However, after thinking about it, Dong Xuan felt that giving Liu Yongfu this book would be more useful to him.
After all, it was in the book.
Whether it was the introduction to France or the application of the flintlock at the back of the book.
It would be helpful to Liu Yongfu.
However, he did not know.
Would Liu Yongfu read this book?
"Then I'll have to take a good look. Who wrote this book?" asked Liu Yongfu.”
Dong Xuan replied," This is the final work that my father wrote after traveling around the world. I wanted to bring it back so that the people of the country could understand this world. Unfortunately, he passed away unexpectedly, so I sorted out his manuscript and just finished printing it.”
Actually, he wanted to say that he wrote it.
However, he was only 15 years old when he came to this world. Even if he had been in this world for five years, he was only 20 years old.
Such a profound book.
No one would believe that it was written by a youth like him.
Therefore, he could only say that it was written by his fabricated father.
After Liu Yongfu heard this, he sighed."What a pity."
As for what was a pity?
Liu Yongfu did not say.
Dong Xuan did not ask.
After the three of them finished their discussion.
Liu Yongfu came out and announced his decision to everyone.
Of course, for the navy personnel who were unwilling to stay.
Liu Yongfu also took out some property and gave it to them as travel expenses.
After all, they had all fought for their country.
Although the imperial court had burned the bridge after crossing it, he could not let these soldiers feel disappointed.
Otherwise…
He would no longer be able to convince his subordinates in the future.
After dealing with all this.
Liu Yongfu held the folding fan in his hand and said,"Huang Feihong, this fan is a parting gift for you. Seeing the fan is like seeing a person. The contents written on the fan are the unfair treaty we signed with the foreigners. I hope that when I return, these treaty will be written off.”
Huang Feihong took the fan solemnly.
Dong Xuan was very clear about Liu Yongfu's wish. It was impossible to fulfill it in a short period of time.
After sending Liu Yongfu off.
Huang Feihong was carrying the fan that Liu Yongfu had given him and the plaque that read," My land, my people."
Dong Xuan also began to arrange for the sailors.
Although some of the remaining sailors had left.
However, there were about three to four hundred people left behind.
Dong Xuan took out a large amount of wealth, bought a few merchant ships, and set up a shipping company to let these people join.
The specific operations of the company.
He found a professional.
Regarding such matters.
He didn't know much about it, so it was better to leave it to the professionals.
Originally, Dong Xuan thought.
After Liu Yongfu left, the plot began. Soon, it was the 13th aunt's return.
However, he did not see Thirteenth Aunt.
Dong Xuan was not in a hurry.
With Dong Xuan's financial support, the shipping company slowly went on the right track.
Because of the safety guarantee, they started to make profits.
After all, the crew members were from the navy. They were soldiers who had been on the battlefield and seen blood.
As long as they were given weapons, they would be able to fight.
Of course, they were all experts in cold weapons.
However, in terms of the use of firearms, it was rather poor.
Dong Xuan even used his connections.
They bought a batch of firearms in England and invited a retired foreign officer to train them in private.
The incident with the Eight-Nation Alliance had yet to happen.
Dong Xuan hoped that they would be able to play a role at that time.
Other than training those people.
Dong Xuan had also recruited many employees and trained them.
However, there were too few people that Dong Xuan could trust.
In order to nurture some helpers.
Previously.
Dong Xuan took out a sum of money so that his fellow disciples could also use the medicinal bath.
This also allowed their strength to increase greatly.
