In Zhang Lingyang's view, although the Great Zhou Navy was not as good as the British, the army was even better, so he resolutely issued such an order.

Unexpectedly, a month later, Zhang Lingyang received a bad news: the Zhou army was defeated in Burma, and more than 5,000 people brought to Burma by Zhang Guangzhi, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, were buried in other places.

"What is this Zhang Guangzhi for?"

"The British army that invaded Burma this time was only more than 2,000 people, and the army brought by Zhang Guangzhi was twice as large as the British army, and most of them were mountain battalions specially set up by my order.

Indeed, as Zhang Lingyang said, in the petition of Zhang Guangzhi, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, although the defeat was explained, Zhang Guangzhi did not say how he was defeated.

In fact, Zhang Guangzhi himself is also very confused, the war was originally fought well, but it was lost so inexplicably overnight.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that this must be Zhang Guangzhi's deliberate shirking of responsibility, with the courage of Yungui's soldiers, how can he be defeated under twice the strength of the British army?

Weichen thinks that there must be something strange in it, please ask Your Majesty to issue an order to find out! "The inspectorate has a royal history ignoring the eyes of his boss Li Guangtai, and resolutely came out to object.

"Zhang Guangzhi's defeat is so strange, don't I know?"

Seeing this imperial historian fall into the well like this, Zhang Lingyang was even more furious, "What is the top priority now?" Do you want me to explain it to you? ”

Zhang Lingyang was so angry, and the ministers rarely saw it, so they lowered their heads one by one and didn't dare to speak.

At this time, Zheng Yongji, the first assistant to the cabinet, had to bite the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that other things are trivial, and the top priority now is to immediately send an elite army to Burma again, in case the situation in Myanmar is uncontrollable."

At the same time, His Majesty should also issue an order to send a messenger to Burma to investigate the specific reasons for the defeat and give an explanation to the officers and men of the whole army. ”

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Lingyang tried to calm himself down and said: "Just as Zheng Aiqing said, Xiaofuzi, the rebel son immediately, blames Sun Dingzong as the commander, and leads the royal army of 3,000 elite soldiers to Burma, integrate the local garrison and the Burmese army, and be sure to recover the lost territory within the year." ”

"Wechen obeys!" Hearing that Zhang Lingyang ordered his general, Sun Dingzong hurriedly came out and said.

"In addition, since the Inspectorate has some doubts about the course of this battle, then I will appoint Li Guangtai, the imperial historian of the Zuodu, as the Qincha, and go to Burma with Sun Dingzong to investigate the cause of the defeat of this battle, there must be no mistake!"

"Wechen obeys!" Li Guangtai stared deeply at the imperial history who had just come out to admonish, and then he replied.

It's not that Li Guangtai is reluctant to go to hot Myanmar, but because the Great Zhou Dynasty has just moved the capital, and the noble children in Luoyang City have sprouted up again, causing a lot of trouble.

Now, Li Guangtai is keeping a close eye on these things, once he goes to Myanmar, he is afraid that those noble children who violate the law and discipline can only let go first.

The appointment of Qin Cha this time is not necessary for Li Guangtai.

There are so many ministers in the DPRK and China, and the officials of the Criminal Department are much more clever than him Li Guangtai in judging the case.

The reason why Zhang Lingyang was so appointed was obviously intentional. But at this critical moment, Li Guangtai couldn't afford to shirk more, so he had to agree to it.

After the next dynasty, Zhang Lingyang deliberately left Sun Dingzong and Li Guangtai behind, and said: "This battle is critical, Sun Dingzong, you must win the battle."

Also, it's important to be wary of Myanmar, you know? ”

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Hearing this, Li Guangtai. Sun Dingzong and the two glanced at each other, and their eyes showed a look of surprise.

Zhang Lingyang said: "I also hope that my worries are unnecessary, but according to the report of the secret agent installed in Myanmar by Jinyiwei, during this time, the eldest prince of Myanmar was quite unstable, jumping up and down vigorously, and I suspect that this battle is very likely because the eldest prince of Burma leaked secrets. ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Weichen can save it!"

Seeing Li Guangtai and Sun Dingzong's assurances, Zhang Lingyang was relieved.

……

The army went out of the city, and it was mighty along the way.

After personally sending the three thousand royal troops out of the city, Zhang Lingyang returned to the palace.

Unexpectedly, within an hour, there was bad news again......

Feng Zuoliang, the secretary of the military department, hurriedly entered the palace to meet him: "Your Majesty, the news that has just come from Guangdong is that the Franco-Ji people entrenched in Borneo have wantonly slaughtered our overseas Chinese in the Great Zhou, and reliable intelligence shows that thousands of overseas Chinese have been killed there, and those who have not been counted are only too many!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Lingyang gasped, it was really a wave of unevenness.

"Xiao Fuzi, the ship Royal Navy, Ling Han Liang led the entire Royal Navy to send troops to Borneo, and I have only one request for the Franc machine people there: that is, not one will stay!"

As if roaring, Zhang Lingyang's voice was extremely depressed, almost spitting out word by word.

In the Xinhua Pavilion outside the palace, after Zheng Yongji, the first assistant of the cabinet, received the news, his brows were tightly locked, and he let go for a long time before he let go, and hurriedly entered the palace to ask to see Zhang Lingyang.

"What is Zheng Aiqing's important matter here?" At this time, Zhang Lingyang's mood was extremely bad, so his words were a little lukewarm.

Zheng Yongji replied: "Your Majesty, Weichen just received the news that the Buddha Lang Jiren slaughtered my Great Zhou expatriate, I don't know what Your Majesty's plans are?" ”

"Naturally, it's a blood debt and a blood debt!"

Zhang Lingyang's cold voice couldn't help but make Zheng Yongji shiver.

Zheng Yongji still stubbornly spoke: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the Francois is doing this, and it has nothing to do with the English. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Zhang Lingyang asked.

"Didn't Your Majesty think about it? How can it be so good, did the Francophone wantonly slaughter my Great Zhou expatriate? Zheng Yongji said, "According to Wechen's speculation, it must be that the Franco-Robot has something to do with the British, and after the British won a great victory in Burma, the Franco-Mechanic had the audacity to wantonly slaughter our Dazhou diaspora." ”

"What Zheng Aiqing said is not unreasonable!"

Zhang Lingyang lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said: "Little Fuzi, go down directly, my Great Zhou officially declares war on the Franc Machine, and expel the Franc Machine's envoys in the Great Zhou and all the Franc Machines merchants along the coast, and confiscate all their property. ”

"Slaves obey!"

In Zhang Lingyang's view, it is understandable that the two countries are fighting each other, or even fighting, after all, there has never been a real friendship between countries.

But the Francophile did this, which really made Zhang Lingyang unable to accept it, so he gave this unprecedented order.

Even, Zhang Lingyang once thought that all the Franc people in the Great Zhou Dynasty would be corrected on the spot.

This thought only flashed in Zhang Lingyang's mind, and Zhang Lingyang did not really give such an order......
