Seeing that the people were still terrified in what they said, in the shadow of the foreigner navy. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Feng Yunshan thought that the expedition was imminent, and he couldn't hit the morale of the soldiers too much, so he said: "You don't have to be discouraged. Although the Yingyi Navy is the largest in the world, it is thousands of miles away from our land in China, and it is very expensive and difficult to send a large-scale fleet to the expedition. Moreover, the mainland area of the country is small, and the population is less than 24 million, which is two or three million less than the population of Guangdong Province. Therefore, if there is a real big war, there is no need to be afraid. ”

Feng Yunshan took the opportunity to express his intention to lead the army to the Northern Expedition: "It is precisely because of this that this king is determined to defeat the Qing Demon as soon as possible, completely occupy the entire land of China, gather the strength of the entire China, and develop and grow as soon as possible, so naturally there is no need to be afraid of the little Yingyi." ”

Lin Fengxiang and Tan Shaoguang, who had been following and speaking, suddenly said: "Holy King, our Lu Shi is not afraid!" Now, our 1st Division (9th Division) is confident that it will defeat all enemy forces! ”

Feng Yunshan laughed and said, "That's good!" ”

His face was pale, and he said to everyone: "Lu Shi, the Holy Kingdom is naturally not afraid of the captive army, and it is the navy that needs to be developed quickly." The future is a world of naval hegemony. Moreover, this coastal defense should be consolidated, but defense is not omnipotent, the best defense is offense, like Yingyi, with a strong navy, these coastal defenses are not needed at all. One day, when our holy kingdom does not know the coastal defense and guards against us, it will be the time when the world is peaceful! ”

This remark made everyone very enthusiastic.

Shi Xiangzhen couldn't help but think about when he would propose to King Yi that he would also join the navy of the Holy Country, swim in the vast sea, and fight with foreigners.

However, Feng Yunshan once again explained to Zuo Zongtang, deputy chief of the General Staff of the General Staff who accompanied him, and asked him to remember to hurry up the arrangements for the reconstruction of the Zhenhaikou coastal defense fort.

Before the strength of the Holy Navy's navy is still very lacking, these necessary coastal defenses must not be weakened, but also need to be strengthened. Feng Yunshan knew that the rebuilt fort had two advantages. One is that cement can be used in large quantities, which is much stronger than the Manchu forts built of stones, green bricks, and sanhe clay; The second is artillery.

Feng Yunshan asked Zuo Zongtang's General Staff to come forward, the purpose of which was to let them estimate the most suitable location for placing the fort and the most suitable artillery for this location according to the actual terrain of the scene.

Now with the rifled artillery produced by the Holy Krupp Iron and Steel Company, not only the firing range is much longer than the smoothbore gun, but the accuracy is even more incomparable, coupled with the intensive training of artillery, Feng Yunshan has reason to believe that if there is a similar second opium war, this Zhenhaikou fort will definitely make the foreigners suffer, just like the Sino-French war in later generations, the commander of the French Far East Fleet was wounded and killed with one shot.

Zuo Zongtang hurriedly recorded it. Now he already knew that the Holy King had taken him with him to deliberately broaden his horizons. The strength of the Yingyi Navy of the previous Holy King General was more about him.

Therefore, he worked even harder to keep up with the pace of the Holy King.

Everyone talked all the way, passed through Weiyuan City, and came to Baotuo Temple.

When several monks saw a large group of soldiers escorting everyone coming, they hurriedly closed the temple gate and hid in the house and did not dare to come out.

Feng Yunshan smiled bitterly, knowing in his heart that many people still regarded the captive army as the Taiping army, and it was no wonder that these temple monks were afraid.

I don't care about him at the moment, but I just pay attention to letting these religions develop on their own in the future, and I don't interfere with them. Buried all the way straight down, soon, came to the Aozhu Tower on the top of the mountain.

By this time, the sun was already setting in the west. The Aozhu Pagoda stands in the afterglow of the setting sun, a piece of golden, magnificent.

Feng Yunshan knew that this Aozhu Tower was far lower than the Aozhu Tower that he was familiar with and rebuilt in the 90s. And at the foot of the mountain that I just passed, there is no Haiphong Historical Memorial Hall, all this is different.

Think about yourself, I was originally a small engineer in the future, but I just went to the Haiphong Historical Memorial Hall to play during the May Day holiday, but I didn't expect that I would travel into this modern era, and the encounters of life are still so wonderful?

Now back to his hometown, the mountain is still the same mountain, the sunset is still so lonely, and the sea in the distance is vast. Feng Yunshan stood on the top of the Aozhu Tower, looking into the distance, and was stunned for a while.

Can't go back!

Revisiting the old place, things are not people. How can you not make Feng Yunshan sigh?

Feng Yunshan was quietly alone, staying on the highest floor of the top of the tower, until the sky slowly darkened, then he came back to his senses, shook his head, got off the tower, and walked down the mountain.

The past has passed, and now that I have taken root in this era, even if there is a hole, I know that if I get into it, I can return to the next generation and continue to be my ordinary engineer, will I go back?

These soldiers who followed him, as well as the two infant sons of the women and monks who followed him in Guangzhou City, can they really give up?

The suffering of the Yellow River bursting has not been dealt with well, and the suffering of the Han nation has not been ended, can I really walk away?

Feng Yunshan shook his head firmly, slowly breathed a long sigh of relief, and returned to reality.

The officers and men of the Ninth Division led by Tan Shaoguang have already rushed from Hangzhou to Zhenhaikou, and will assemble and board the ship early tomorrow morning.

The 1st Division and the 1st Division B, which had boarded the ships in Fuzhou and Xiamen, just disembarked and walked around, and then continued to wait on the ships.

The warships in the vicinity of the 10th and 5th Divisions also approached. Tomorrow, you can continue to set off, go to Shanghi, pick up the sailors of the Eighth Division and the Tenth Division, and then go directly north to implement your plan to directly attack the Demon Dragon's Lair.

Feng Yunshan walked firmly down the mountain!

In the evening, Li Shouzhen, the magistrate of Zhenhai County, cleaned up the backyard of the county government, and after the royal guards were stationed for inspection, Feng Yunshan led everyone to live in.

Feng Yunshan is working with Shi Dakai, Luo Xuan, Zuo Zongtang, Huang Yukun, Carragher. Charles and the others discussed the next day's expedition.

Tan Shaoguang led a merchant to meet the Holy King.

"Holy King, my subordinate took the liberty of bringing a businessman from Hangzhou to pay homage, but he was persuaded by him." Tan Shaoguang talked about the origin of the incident: "When I saw the Northern Expedition army during the day, there were less than 100 warships and warships, and there were 400 ships for transporting troops, transporting food, artillery, and baggage, and it was very inconvenient to march!" And this businessman said that he could share the worries of the holy country. ”

When Feng Yunshan heard this, he was a little curious, the businessmen all wanted to avoid the soldiers, and also avoid the capture army, but he really hadn't heard that a businessman took the initiative to find the capture army, so he asked, "Who is it?" Did he say anything about how to share his worries? ”

"His surname is Hu! has been doing business in Hangzhou, originally just a guy of Qianzhuang, but he was shrewd and alert, became the son-in-law of Qianzhuang, and inherited the property of Qianzhuang. When the captives attacked the city of Hangzhou, he bribed the guards to sacrifice the city and made great contributions to the holy country. Moreover, this person is a good hand at doing business. During the short period of time when the Holy Kingdom captured Hangzhou City, he took advantage of the sharp drop in the price of shops in Hangzhou City before the war and ate a large number of shops, and the price of shops in Hangzhou City soared after the war, which brought him huge profits in this short period of time. Tan Shaoguang introduced the businessman surnamed Hu.

When Shi Dakai heard this, he was also happy, and said, "Brother Tan, is that businessman's name Hu Xueyan?" ”

"Exactly!" Tan Shaoguang asked, "Does the righteous king know this person?" ”

Before Shi Dakai could answer, Feng Yunshan next to him shouted, "Hu Xueyan? Brother Tan, you're talking about businessmen, is this Hu Xueyan? ”

At this moment, Shi Dakai and Tan Shaoguang both looked at Feng Yunshan with a look of surprise: "The Holy King also knows this person?" ”

"Oh no! I just think the name is familiar. Feng Yunshan realized that he had lost his temper and hurriedly covered it up. Also, he is the holy king of this era, how can he hear a well-known businessman boasted in later generations, and he lost his temper. No matter how powerful Hu Xueyan is, he is just an official and businessman, if he didn't have the support of Wang Youling and Zuo Zongtang, he wouldn't have been able to have that big reputation. I'm in love.

"Call this person in and have a look!" Feng Yunshan commanded.
