【097】Cuba down

Therefore, Cui Guoyin has played a role similar to a "double spy" in recent years, dealing with the empress dowager and carrying out the orders of Emperor Weng.

It would be strange if you don’t worry about the clouds!

When Savi heard this, he smiled slightly: "Your emperor has a very investment vision, Cuba's plantations...hehehe!"

Savi is extremely smart and has had an in-depth understanding of the current situation in Cuba. This sentence is not a compliment, but obviously a sneer of gloating.

Cuba was once called the "island that is always the most loyal to Spain" in the early 19th century, with whites and blacks each accounting for half. When the American countries began to rush into revolutionary struggles for independence, Cuba was silent.

However, the tide of history was unstoppable. In the mid-19th century, Cuba began to seek independence and no longer willing to be a Spanish colony. In April 1869, Cespedes established the Republic of Cuba and became president, but in Spain

With the increase of troops and the division, the rebels were forced to sign the Treaty of Sanghong in 1878, which ended the civil war.

However, the flames against colonial rule have not been completely extinguished. With the chaos and deterioration of the domestic situation in Spain, the Spanish upper class exploited Cuba even more. Small groups of rebels in Cuba have been repeatedly banned. They burned the plantations and killed the manors.

Lord, rob the rich, call on slaves to turn over and be the masters! Over the years, the Spanish troops stationed in the Caribbean have been overwhelmed by these rebels. Savi came this time to conquer the 20,000 troops, as well as

Seize the opportunity to attack the rebel army, seize military achievements, and comfort those quite injured slave owners and manor owners!

Ouyang Geng seemed not to hear Savi's mockery and interrupted: "Hey, Mr. Viscount, Cuba is a colony of your country, but recently, there are many rebels and wars. The emperor's industry has been severely damaged!

You have to take care of it!"

Cui Guoyin glanced at Ouyang Geng and then said to Savi: "Yes, our emperor's plantation is on the other side of Havana. It was originally very safe, but just four months ago, a 'Jungle Black Bear'

The rebels occupied the plantations and factories in that area. Their leaders said that if they did not hand over the ransom within half a year, they would burn those plantations and destroy them!"

The jungle black bear, Savi, who had just heard this name, had a handsome eyebrows!

Cuba's rebel army is as numerous as a cow, but recently this "jungle black bear" is in great popularity. The Spanish army stationed in Havana has been sniped by jungle black bears many times, and the losses are extremely heavy! Savi traveled thousands of miles to Cuba this time

The main targets include this 'Jungle Black Bear'!

Savi drank a sip of wine and said, "So that's the case, Ambassador Cui, do you hope I will eliminate these rebels for you and save you a ransom?"

Cui Guo rubbed his hands a little embarrassedly because he put down his chopsticks: "Yes, I'm going to tell you that Mr. Viscount, the ransom price these rebels are asking for... It's true, it's really a bit high..."

Savi touched his nose and smiled, "So Ambassador Cui found out that I was going to Cuba, so he wanted to go with the flow and let me solve this problem?"

Cui Guo smiled apologetically and did not speak immediately. Ouyang Ming saw this and said, "Your country's military strength is strong, and Mr. Viscount's achievements are brilliant. It is really easy to deal with these fleas and rats!"

"snort!"

Savi got Long Hao's hint, and his face suddenly changed. He slapped the table and splashed the fish soup out a few points: "You have made a great plan! With a meal, do you want my decent Spanish major to work hard for you?

Hehe, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world?”

Savi got angry, and the Ouyang brothers and Cui Guo both looked bitter and dared not speak out.

Although it is reasonable that Savi went to Cuba to eliminate the rebels on behalf of the Spanish government, but he was an old-fashioned power. A viscount got angry, so these Qing Dynasty officials had to pinch their noses and swallow their anger.

Ouyang Geng complained: Didn’t you just pat your chest and say help? The foreign devils turned against each other like a book, and they were really unfaithful and honest!

When Savi's 'angry' faded, Cui Guoyin said carefully: "I will naturally not let Mr. Viscount be in vain. We can't raise much money for the cash, but... but we have people!"

people?

Savi and Long Hao didn't expect Cui Guoyin to say this, and they were stunned: Who is the person?

Savi coughed and asked, "Ambassador Cui's words are too profound, I don't understand them very much!"

Cui Guoyin pointed to Fang Mingde who had been listening quietly and said, "This must be explained by Mr. Fang."

Fang Mingde glanced at Long Hao, then said slowly: "War of war will lead to death. Since the court is in a tight capital and cannot get the ransom, I want to ask Mr. Viscount to help suppress the bandits. Then, as the deputy leader of the Hongmen, I am willing to

Provide a group of strong guys to take the lead in the Viscount and attack the jungle black bear!"

After Fang Mingde finished explaining, Long Hao understood Cui Guoyin's true intention: the Qing Dynasty court was unwilling to pay the ransom, and was unwilling to be destroyed by the industry running in Cuba, so he came up with the help of Savi's power to eliminate the "Jungle Black Bear".

'The strategy! The people provided by Hongmen are the real power to fight against the jungle black bears. They invited Savi, just to use the signboard of the Spanish regular army to enter Cuba without any obstacles.

Savi also understood, and he pondered for a while and said, "Don't worry, I'll be relaxed, it can be considered a joy on both sides! However, if I want me to help you for free, it's unlikely that there is no reward!"

Although Savi's soldiers did not take risks, Savi still had to take certain risks to take the Chinese to Cuba to start a war, and it would not be possible without reward.

Foreigners are indeed profit-oriented! They are jealous of money!

Cui Guoyin cursed in his stomach and smiled on his face: "How could he ask Mr. Viscount to help in vain? As long as he took back those industries, our emperor said that he would take out two plantations to give to Mr. Viscount as a thank-you gift!



The two plantations, and the gardens that plant high-profit sugarcane, may not be much money for an army, but if given to private people, it is a valuable asset.

Cui Guo was confident and was not afraid that Savi would not agree!

Over the years, Cui Guo has been very familiar with the habits of Westerners because of visiting countries! Bribery is a common thing... You can earn two gardens by bringing some people to Cuba. This transaction is really cost-effective and easy.

!If anyone else had no reason to refuse!

Cui Guo was very accurate in looking at people. After changing to Savi who had known Long Hao, he might have agreed on the spot. But now... Savi kept silent, knocking on the table, and glanced at the face of Gujing Bubo.

Long Hao.

Long Hao is the actual decision-making person!

In the small hall, everything was quiet for a moment, and it seemed that only a few nervous hearts were waiting for Savi's reply... Long Hao suddenly smiled, broke the silence, and said, "This matter is important, and it is not a meal that can make the Viscount decide.

Oh! Dear sirs, why not give Viscount some time to consider? It’s half a year, and there’s more than a month left now, so don’t worry!”

Don't worry?

Ouyang Geng wanted to point at Long Hao's nose and scold: What do you know? It takes time to get from here to Havana. Be familiar with the terrain, get used to the water and soil, and you have to defeat those Cuban bandits. More than a month seems to be long, but there is no time left.

Free!

Cui Guoyin was also a little dissatisfied: We are waiting for Mr. Viscount to reply, "What are you, the "intermediary"?"

Long Hao's young age and the bad reputation of "princess pet man" circulating in the outside world made Cui Guo very unsatisfied with this honorable Jinshi. However, Fang Mingde told him before that Long should not be neglected.

Hao, so I couldn't bear it.

Ouyang Ming has been to the United States for many years and said he was the Consul General, but in fact he was almost the same as the officialdom in China. This time, it was for the sake of his cousin Ouyang Geng that he urged to make this matter! With his experienced eyes,

How could I see Long Hao's extraordinaryness? As soon as this handsome boy spoke, Viscount's face loosened a little!

So Ouyang Ming took the lead and laughed: "Yes, yes, don't worry! Why not go to the mansion to have another meal at night and watch the big show? Mr. Viscount came to San Francisco. I, a consul, would not be a host, but

I can’t explain to the court, nor to Empress Dowager Christina!”

Savi's eyes rolled and he smiled, "Since that's the case, I'm going to bother Consul Ouyang again tonight!"
