"Is that my marriage, can't talk nonsense." Xu Lang smiled, "I didn't call you, Wan Tao has something to do with us." ”

Han Wantao got up and closed the door: "There is something to discuss with the two of you." The recruitment of the three independent divisions is nearing completion, and the list of officers above the regimental level has also been reported to the Military Commission, and the rest is the issue of changing guards. However, I still have the idea of finding someone to go to Vietnam in person and come up with a report to prepare for the landing in Annam. ”

"Don't even look at me." Xu Lang preemptively said, "Anyway, I won't go to Vietnam this time." Isn't Li Fuqiang in Vietnam, can't he come up with a report? ”

Han Wantao said: "Li Fuqiang is still in Brother Pulian, and there are no of our own people on Jinpu's side. Besides, I think it's better if you can send someone to the General Staff in this matter, and you still have to be more professional. ”

"Wan Tao." Xu Lang asked, "When will the reorganization of the three independent divisions be finally completed, and when will it be able to form combat effectiveness?" ”

"The final reorganization will be completed by the end of this month, and with two months of recruit training, it should be able to form combat effectiveness by the end of November."

"Still." Han Wantao said again, "According to the situation on Shen Daxing's side, rifled guns can only be equipped with one division at most, and the remaining two divisions still have to be equipped with flintlock guns. ”

"It doesn't matter." Leng Tianbing said, "The Vietnamese can deal with it with flintlock pistols. ”

"Wan Tao, are you going to land in Annan?" Xu Lang asked.

"I don't know yet, if there is a problem with Li Fuqiang, I should go."

"And what are you going to do?"

"What to do." Han Wantao asked rhetorically, "Hasn't the Annan landing plan been approved by the General Assembly?" ”

"I'm not talking about that." Xu Lang smiled, "I'm asking you what you want to do." ”

"I have two plans now, but I haven't made up my mind." Han Wantao said, "One is based on Jinpu, and the three divisions advance in unison, advancing to Thang Long Mansion in three ways, and finally conquering Thang Long Mansion. The second is to stick to Jinpu and send a surprise army to approach Shenglong Mansion, it is best to force Zheng Jie to sign an alliance under the city, so that the casualties will be smaller. ”

Leng Tianbing suddenly asked: "Actually, I have a question that I haven't figured out, why we should fight North Vietnam first, not South Vietnam." With a population of 1.8 million and an army of 100,000, NATO is stronger than South Vietnam. ”

"That's why we're going to fight North Vietnam." Xu Lang explained, "If we can control North Vietnam, we can at least increase the number of troops by tens of thousands, which is good for dealing with the Manchus and Tao Minh." ”

"I don't think you should be too optimistic." Leng Tianbing said, "Lu Lao said that from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms to the Qing Dynasty, large-scale wars between China and Vietnam were fought 8 times, and China won 1 and lost 7, and the only victory was also a miserable victory. Whether it is the comparison of national strength or military strength between the two sides, China has a clear advantage. Moreover, there is no record of the Chinese side underestimating the enemy or showing contempt for the opponent. Now we want to conquer the whole of North Vietnam with 20,000 men, and I think it is very difficult. ”

"That's why I'm asking you to come up with an idea." Han Wantao suddenly remembered the purpose of his visit this time, "You'd better go and take a look at the specific situation in Vietnam first, and let's plan how this battle will be fought." ”

"You don't think that's going to work." Leng Tianbing came up with an idea, "Let's contact South Vietnam and attack North Vietnam together." If the South Vietnamese side can send troops, we may be more relaxed. ”

"I don't think so." Xu Lang said, "The main task of our landing in Annam this time is to be able to control Vietnam, and if we want to control Vietnam, we must first control North Vietnam, which cannot overthrow the rule of Zheng Jie." If South Vietnam is allowed to unify Vietnam, they may turn against us after reunification, and the Vietnamese have not done nothing. ”

"What then?" Han Wantao was anxious again, "How can we control North Vietnam and not let them unify." ”

"Wan Tao, don't worry." Xu Lang said, "Your side is busy with the reorganization of the independent division first, and our General Staff will discuss it again and come up with a specific plan." As for what you said about sending someone to Vietnam to have a look, I'll go back and ask what my family means, Beiming has already returned to Beijing, and I guess I have to go in the end. ”

Han Wantao and Leng Tianbing laughed at the same time: "You just get ready, no one else can do it except you." ”

"That's right." Xu Lang asked again, "How is the electricity on Descartes' side, and where is it?" ”

"I don't know." Han Wantao replied, "You can ask Shen Daxing, I don't bother to ask." ”

Tao Min and Tao Gong have returned to Nanpu, and this attack did not achieve the results that Tao Min expected, and both brothers felt a little discouraged.

"Brother, what should we do next?" Tao Gong asked.

Tao Min didn't answer: "It's because I leaked the news of Yue Tuo in Beijing, Huang Taiji didn't even say anything about us, who can know about this." ”

"Brother, could it be the news that Dolgon released it? If Yue Tuo really negotiated with Chongzhen, then Yue Tuo would be a great merit, and Dolgon should not want to see Yue Tuo make meritorious contributions. ”

Tao Min thought about his brother's words: "It is unlikely that Dolgon leaked secrets, the biggest possibility is Yulin Bay, could it be that there is someone in Yulin Bay by Huang Taiji's side?" ”

"Yes, it's also possible that the Ming Dynasty leaked secrets."

"It's possible." Tao Min remembered the incident in which Chen Xinjia was a scapegoat in the original history.

"Brother, what should we do then?"

"What's going on at the shipyard?" Tao Min asked.

"Still in a hurry, the two Dutch have built two new warships, the tonnage is larger than the original, and they will be launched by the end of this month."

"What about the sailors and the artillery?"

"It's almost ready." Tao Gong asked, "Brother, do you want to go to Dengzhou, but now Dengzhou doesn't have a single warship in Yulin Bay." ”

"No, I didn't go to Dengzhou, and I didn't go." Tao Min said, "I'm going to Phi Koh." ”

Tao Gong didn't understand his brother's thoughts: "Brother, why did you think of going to Phi Island?" ”

Tao Min explained: "Our navy is not good, there can be thousands of Ming navy troops on Phi Island, and only by supplementing them can we go to Japan." ”

"Brother, do you still want to go to Japan?"

"No, you can't go." Tao Min said, "This time you have also seen the performance of the North Koreans, and now we have to guard not only against Yulin Bay, but also against Huang Taiji." Only by taking Japan can we say that we are profound and worry-free, and even if there is a change in Korea, we can withdraw to Japan. ”

"But will Yulin Bay allow us to take Japan smoothly?"

"That's why we have to be fast. Yulin Bay is fighting with Westerners in Singapore this time, and they must repair it now, and they will not be able to take care of Japan in a short period of time, this is our opportunity. Tao Min instructed, "Brother, you ask Xie Tian to pay close attention to the movements of Yulin Bay, and when the two new warships get out of the water, we will go and take Phi Dao, and strive to defeat Japan within this year." ”

"Then the North Korean side." Tao Gong asked.

"Continue to conscript." Tao Min replied expressionlessly, "Without 100,000 troops, Japan cannot be defeated." ”

Tao Gong felt that it was inappropriate: "Brother, have you thought about it, even if we can take Japan this year, it will take at least more than a year to control the whole of Japan, which means that we will basically not be able to take care of Yulin Bay within two years." But it's hard to say what they'll be when Yulin Bay is given two years, and now they have a steam engine and rifled guns. ”

"I also know you're telling the truth." Tao Min turned around the house with his hands behind his back, "It's difficult for us to stop the development of Yulin Bay now, it's not okay to carry out another attack, they must be very strict now." I'm afraid that it will be difficult for Westerners to help now, Li Zicheng can't count on it, the only one who can hold Yulinwan back now is Chongzhen, and it would be good if he could think of a way to make Chongzhen and Yulinwan turn their faces. ”

"Brother, it's not easy to think of this solution." Tao Gong stared at his brother and said.

"I know it's hard to think about it, too." Tao Min said, "You don't care about anything else now, do two things well." The first is to let Xie Tian seize the time to find out the next action plan of Yulin Bay, the more detailed the better. The second is to urge the shipyard to hurry up and get the new warships out and prepare for the Battle of Phi Dao, and I will figure out the rest. ”

After Blue Phoenix followed Qin Songwang to Yulin Bay, he felt fresh everywhere, and walked around outside every day. After Qin Songwang was elected as the chairman of the committee, he was too busy to be at home every day, and he couldn't take care of the blue phoenix, so he could only find a maid to accompany her first, and let her play everywhere, as long as she didn't leave Yulin Bay.

After Blue Phoenix was excited for a while, all the places that should be visited were finished, and Qin Songwang's shadow could not be seen every day, so he couldn't help but be a little bored and depressed.

On this day, Qin Songwang had just returned from Xia Yang to the Daoist Committee, and Ye Yan came to the door: "Chairman Qin, I have something to report to you." ”

Qin Songwang raised his head from the document: "Ye Yan, what's the matter, I still need you to come in person." ”

"Chairman." Ye Yan closed the door, "Something happened to your wife." ”

"Phoenix? What's wrong with her? Qin Songwang stood up from the file, "Is she injured or what's wrong?" ”

"Don't worry, Chairman." Ye Yan said, "It's not your wife who was injured, it was she who injured others." ”

"How could she hurt someone." Qin Songwang didn't believe it a little, but after thinking about it again, it was not impossible to do so, "Who did she hurt, what happened." ”

Blue Phoenix was bored, and walked around the casino accompanied by the maid. Blue Phoenix had also entered the casino a few times when he was at sea, but his gambling skills were not very good. This time, I couldn't help but gamble twice, and the maid didn't dare to stop it, and it didn't take long to lose all the money on her body, and she owed more than a dozen taels to the casino. Lan Phoenix didn't say who she was, she only said that she wanted to go home to get the silver, and the casino didn't know who she was, let alone Qin Songwang's wife, and seeing that Lan Phoenix was a woman, she didn't say anything and didn't let her go.

The two sides didn't say a few words before they moved their hands, and in a hurry, Blue Phoenix took out a dagger and stabbed a casino person.

Qin Songwang's head was a little big: "How was that person injured?" ”

"It's not a big deal, it's an injury in the arm." Ye Yan replied, "Now your wife is patrolling the house, according to the provisions of the "Public Security Law", we will temporarily detain her, and wait for the results of the medical examination to come out before deciding what to do, whether it needs to be transferred to the Yulin Bay Court." According to the regulations, I will specially inform you. ”

"Still going to be detained, or transferred to court?" Qin Songwang's head got bigger, "Can I go see her now?" ”

"Of course, Chairman, if you go now, I'll take you there."

Qin Songwang saw the blue phoenix in the detention room of the patrol room.

"Xianggong." The blue phoenix was about to pounce when he saw Qin Songwang.

"Phoenix, how can you go to the casino, how can you fight outside, how can you stab people with a knife." Qin Songwang asked repeatedly.

Blue Phoenix was stunned for a moment: "It turns out that Xianggong is not here to take the concubine home, Xianggong is here to accuse the concubine." ”

Qin Songwang realized that he had spoken a little too much, and his temper eased a little: "Phoenix, I'm not here to accuse you. ”

"Needless to say." Blue Phoenix sneered, "The concubine fights with others, and the princess doesn't ask whether the concubine is injured or not, and the concubine is not counted when he comes up." Yes, the concubine is going to the casino, fighting, stabbing people, and the concubine is still killing. ”

Ye Yan didn't dare to interject when he stood next to him, just looked at the two of them quietly.

"Phoenix, aren't I in a hurry?" Qin Songwang explained, "Are you injured? ”

"I'm fine, don't worry about Qin Gongzi." Blue Phoenix suddenly changed her name and stretched out her hand, "Bring the book of resignation, this girl and Gongzi Qin will be cut in two today." ”

"Phoenix, don't make trouble." Qin Songwang was a little anxious again.

A patrol came in and whispered a few words in Ye Yan's ear, and Ye Yan said to Qin Songwang: "Chairman Qin, the results of the injury examination have come out, but they are just scratches, and they are not a big case. The other side also agreed to settle, and the chairman of the committee can apply for bail for your wife, but you must be with the summons. ”

"Okay, I see. Thank you, Ye Yan. Qin Songwang went over and took Lan Phoenix's hand, "Let's go, let's go home first." ”

The blue phoenix fell twice but didn't shake it off, Qin Songwang didn't speak, and walked out of the detention room holding the blue phoenix's hand.

When the two of them returned home, Qin Songwang drove all his subordinates out of the house, closed the door and looked at Blue Phoenix, who also looked at Qin Songwang.

The two of them were stalemate for a while, and Qin Songwang said: "Phoenix, it's me who is not good, I shouldn't have snubbed you these days, I will compensate you." ”

Blue Phoenix suddenly cried: "Xianggong, it's all the fault of the concubine, and the concubine has made Xianggong unhappy." But the concubine is really boring, she has nothing to do every day, and her husband is not at home. ”

"Phoenix, don't cry." Qin Songwang hugged the blue phoenix, "I know you can't stay idle at home, or I'll find something for you to do, do you think you want to go to the bank and the tax bureau, or you should go to the patrol room to do the patrol." ”

Blue Phoenix stopped crying: "Xianggong, did you really let the concubine go out to do things?" ”

"yes, where do you want to go?"

Lan Phoenix suddenly smiled again: "The concubine still wants to tie up people with her husband like she did in Beijing." ”8)
