"Spaniards?"

Liu Chang's question was obviously quite difficult for De Mons to answer, and he thought for a while before saying, "Your Highness, I don't recommend that you negotiate with the Spaniards, you should choose a tougher attitude, at least to beat the Spaniards." ”

"Why?"

Liu Chang suddenly had the feeling that Stalin had met the Bulgarians, in the early days of the Soviet-German war, Germany was overwhelmed and achieved amazing victories on all fronts, and Stalin at that time had an iron will on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was forced to consider the possibility of negotiations between the Soviet Union and Germany, and at that time he felt that negotiations would be carried out through Bulgaria, an Axis power.

Bulgaria is a special existence among the Axis powers, although it belongs to the Axis powers, but it has a very pro-Russian history in history, and their independence is thanks to Tsarist Russia, so after they received the news that the Soviets were trying to negotiate with the Germans, not only did they not pass on the news to the Germans who belonged to the allies, but said to the Soviets: "Why negotiate with the Germans? If the war continues, you will be the victors in the end! ”

Stalin did not expect such an attitude from the Bulgarians, and with the unexpected support of the Bulgarians, he made up his mind to fight the Germans to the end, and now Demons's answer is indeed in the style of the Bulgarians.

De Mons quickly expressed his judgment: "The reason why I make such a suggestion is completely from the position of the Rainbow Army, not that our Kingdom of Holland and Spain have been at war and hatred for hundreds of years, and I think that if you are too weak, it will not be conducive to the solution of the Guangdong problem!" ”

He laid out the facts of what was happening: "According to the information I have received, 1,200 Spanish and Philippine soldiers who have departed from the Philippines have boarded ships and been transported to Guangdong Province to support the war. Even in Shanghai, I have heard that these so-called volunteers are paid by the Spanish colonial government, and they are the active officers and soldiers of the Philippine colonial army, and they are even wearing the uniforms of the Spanish army. ”

He went on to gush about other facts that are now going on in Spain: "In addition to that. There is also a third volunteer army will also leave for Guangdong Province, all of which are approved and fully supported by the Spanish government, and their equipment, weapons, and supplies are carried out by the Spanish government, and the Spanish government has a wrong judgment! ”

He pointed out a little fact: "They believe that our main opponent now is Russia, that we are in a passive position of fighting on two fronts, and that if we engage the Spanish volunteers in Canton, then the Russian government army will rush across the Great Wall line." Crossing the Yellow River to the Yangtze River is a fatal blow to the cause of our unification, so I think Your Highness should wake the Spaniards from their dreams with an iron fist! ”

Liu Chang clapped his hands with a smile and said, "Well said, well said, really well said!" ”

De Mons continued: "Now it seems that the Spaniards, the Dutch, and the Portuguese are unanimously forming a blockade against China, and even some of the Americans and the British are involved. But this is not the case, there are only two countries that are really active, Russians on the one hand, and Spaniards on the other! ”

"The Dutch, the Portuguese, and even many of the English and Americans acted according to the eyes of the Spaniards, and as long as we hurt the Spaniards, then they would naturally understand who the real masters of the Chinese Empire were. Who will decide the fate of the whole of Asia! ”

Liu Chang agreed with De Mengs's statement: "In this case, I think it is necessary to carry out the operation of conquering Liangguang as soon as possible!" ”

"Wrong!" De Mons put forward a different opinion: "I think the most important thing is to build our business well, and now Huzhou is the fastest growing industrial area in the world, as long as there is a whistle." This will be the never-ending steam engine of the entire Eastern world! ”

The current Huzhou Industrial Zone, whether it is light industry or heavy industry, whether it is military industry or civilian industry, has developed rapidly with the help of the process of the two coal and iron wars, and many new classes with public debts have also invested their own capital in this industrial zone, although in a certain sense, the current industrial development is just a repetitive construction, and the technology and equipment used are all repeated practices that the Western world has had. But such repetition is an indispensable development step for an industrial country.

With the Hanghu Railway, a super-giant project that is a behemoth in China's industry. It is conceivable that the development of the entire Huzhou Industrial Zone will become more rapid.

It's a pity on this plane. There are many who still do not understand the significance of these steam engine-powered machines, they believe in force in their hands, and they believe that they will be invincible, or at least not the one who will lose in the end.

Pheasant River Collection.

Zhang Lexing's face finally had a little more joy, in the past few months, he could hardly hear bad news, either a certain Weizi was broken by the Rainbow army from the south, or which Twister had suffered a big defeat in the field, although there was occasional news of victories, but these victories were too small.

It wasn't until today that he finally showed his joy: "Okay, good! The king of heaven is willing to come, that is the best, the pheasant river set is not only the pheasant river set of our twister, but also the pheasant river set of the king of heaven, I and the king can be the king side by side! ”

What made him so happy was nothing else, it was Hong Xiuquan who was wandering around in Anhui, and finally was in a desperate situation in the Yellow Flood Area, and had to cross the Yellow River to join the Twist Army, and there were tens of thousands of Taiping Army backbones who crossed the Yellow River with him.

Among them, there is the newly rising Lai Wenguang department, there is the Chen Yucheng department that has always been the backbone of the Taiping Army, and there is the Wei Jun department that defected to Hong Xiuquan thousands of miles away.

The clouds that have been shrouded in the Pheasant River set this winter have finally dispersed, with the addition of these tens of thousands of Taiping troops, Zhang Lexing feels that his waist is stiff, what is lacking in the twist in the past, what is lacking is a team that can command freely and can fight field battles, and this Taiping army is not such a team?

Now Li Zhaoshou has brought back tens of thousands of people from Henan, plus this new Taiping army, the heavy losses suffered by the twisted army in the first few months can be said to have recovered, and even the Western Spanish country heard that he had fought with the Hong army, and specially sent an envoy to contact.

According to the Spanish missionary, in addition to the 600,000 troops sent by the Spanish State to Guangdong, the Northern Rakshasa has also sent 1.8 million troops to the Guanguan, plus the combined forces of the United States, England, Portugal, and the Netherlands to extinguish the Rainbow Army, a total of 6.46 million soldiers.

This news made Zhang Lexing optimistic all of a sudden, he was not only ready to defend the hundreds of miles near the pheasant river, but even prepared to march into the two Huai and establish the country Huaiyang: "Xiucheng, you can rest assured, my words count, the king of heaven and I go hand in hand, no matter how high or low, we will join forces to destroy this rainbow thief!" ”

On the other side, Li Xiucheng, who was sent by the Taiping Army to contact him, asked: "Now that the two armies are meeting, I would like to ask Zhang Mengzhu, is there any plan to enter Kaifeng?" ”

"Kaifeng?" Zhang Lexing asked keenly: "Why do you want to enter Kaifeng?" When you sent the Tenth Army to the Northern Expedition, didn't you fight Kaifeng? ”

This is the old story of the Taiping Army's Northern Expedition, but Li Xiucheng said: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go south now, I think after the two armies are united, it is better to enter Kaifeng and strive for the Central Plains!" ”

"Henan...... Henan! "It's not that the twist has not been active in Henan, in fact, they have also conquered many counties in Henan, and there is even a county magistrate who is friendly with the twist army, and the city invites the twist to enter, but Henan is not the root of the twist after all, and the twist does not have a long-term plan to enter Henan, but to loot in the past.

"Who does this mean? What does the king mean? Or does it mean by a certain woman? ”

As soon as he thought of Du Jinchan's recent changes, Zhang Lexing gritted his teeth with hatred, since he came back from Hangzhou, his little wife was poisoned, and repeatedly claimed that the Hong Army had many generals and was invincible, and the twist should unite with the Hong Army, rather than kill himself.

As soon as he heard the four-word comment of "self-destruction", Zhang Lexing was furious, and directly slapped Du Jinchan, looking at the past husband and wife love, only imprisoned her, but now there are more and more people in the army who support Du Jinchan, a stinky woman, and even Zhang Lexing feels this threat.

And Li Xiucheng didn't know who "a certain woman" was, and he also knew that this was not what the king of heaven Hong Xiuquan meant, in fact, since the breakthrough of Tianjing, Hong Xiuquan's hypothesis has become more and more serious, even to the point where he can't be governed, and the soldiers of the heavenly kingdom are completely desperate for the so-called heavenly kingdom, they just want to make a way to survive.

And the plan to forge ahead of Kaifeng is not someone else, is now the strongest in the Taiping army, the strongest combat effectiveness of Chen Yucheng, he has been named the king of England earlier than history, mastering almost half of the Taiping remnant army, and he has completely lost confidence in Anhui, repeatedly advocated to march into Henan, in the north to create a way out: "When we entered Tianjing, the king of heaven advocated to fight to Kaifeng, but I met the Hunan sailor, and advocated the capital of Jinling, it is not advisable to enter Kaifeng, and the king of the East decided to build the capital Tianjing, Now that Tianjing is lost, it is a God-given opportunity for us to enter Kaifeng Mansion! ”

But Li Xiucheng didn't want to say clearly that this was Chen Yucheng's opinion: "Master Zhang Meng, this is not only the meaning of the Heavenly King, but also the opinion of the soldiers of the Heavenly Kingdom, now is the best opportunity to compete in the Central Plains, as long as the Central Plains is taken, where can the world go?" ”

Zhang Lexing asked: "Your opinion is to give up the Pheasant River Set first?" Without a war, we gave up the nest that we had been operating for many years, and what Kaifeng Mansion was going to fight? ”
