It's not that the Qing court will change magic, it's the Qing court's order to start a regimental exercise, plus the great powers to help transport the army, these two are simply magic, the Taiping army was played to death by the Qing court and foreigners, this is not counted, and when Li Hongzhang's Huaijun brigade arrives, guns and ammunition are fired, the situation in Shanghai is even more unoptimistic, although Shanghai is not dangerous to defend, but this is a place that extends in all directions, and it is the best place to fight for strength.

When it comes to fighting strength, President Meng has no strength at all at this time, he is far away from the rear of Guangdong, and the arsenal is still in Hong Kong, not to mention that the production capacity of the arsenal is still very small, that is, the production and supply are not available, and transportation and supplies cannot be supplied.

Compared with the Qing court, President Meng has the right to control the sea, but compared to the powers, President Meng has no control over the sea, so the sea power is still equal to the hands of the Qing court, without the sea power, it is impossible to transport supplies from the sea, people can allow your merchant ships to pass by, but you don't know when he will not allow it?

Once the transport ships of the Chinese army are seized or destroyed, the Chinese army will not be able to suffer this kind of blow, and in this way, it can only rely on land transportation, which is even more impossible, to ensure the long-distance supply of more than 20,000 troops, at least 200,000 people, the Chinese army is now even the officials of the three provinces of Guangdong, Fujian and Zhejiang, where can they go to keep blowing up the people?

Catch Zhuangding, President Meng just flashed such a thought, and dispelled it, he is not a terrorist regime, he can't do this, in this way, let the people suffer deeply, what else does he want to do in this world?

If that's the case, what's the difference between President Moe and those reactionary regimes?

Therefore, President Meng decided to attack tentatively, and if he could hit it, he would hit it, and if he couldn't hit it, he would pull it down.

Xuan Jianzhang frowned, and after listening to the president's words, he was even more confused, "President, are you trying to attack?" Our army is invincible. ”

President Meng sighed, "But we don't have a follow-up army, there is no continuous supply, the Qing army is still in the right place, or has an advantage in resources, only after holding Zhejiang in the hands for a period of time, population, food, these concentrated problems, can be alleviated, if you want to fight, you must learn to analyze the overall situation." ”

Xuan Jianzhang nodded, he sincerely admired President Meng, he didn't think about it, he just didn't know the logistics of the Chinese army, these are things that people who stand in high positions can see.

In fact, although President Meng doesn't have to do anything specific every day, looking at all kinds of information and various reports, it is also quite a matter of hard work, President Meng wants to accurately assess what stage Huaguo is now developing, these are things that cannot be data-based, and must rely on the ability of leaders to grasp it.

The presidential secretariat led by Princess Katrina Kaaf is not a statistical agency, just a temporary one, and there are no computers in China, and in ancient times, these data can only exist in the consciousness of the leaders, and analyze them with consciousness, without charts, a large number of charts to quantify these things.

No matter how the level of science and technology develops, the policy of adapting to economic development, and the awesome government, this is the royal way to promote the development of a country, politics is always the first, and no matter how awesome your industrial science and technology is, you can still make no money.

On the third day, the Chinese army prepared to attack.

The British Minister Wittoma and the French Minister Luo Shuya actually rushed to Shanghai in person and asked to meet President Moe.

After listening to Princess Katrina Kaf's report, President Meng was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that these two arrogant guys would actually come to Shanghai to see him in person, and Zeng Jize accompanied him, this is not President Meng who wants to see it, and if he doesn't want to see it, he can't see it, President Meng rose at the beginning, to a large extent, it was also the momentum of the Zeng family, this kindness, President Meng did not forget, if there is no Zeng family, no Zeng Jize, he can't get so many benefits from foreigners and Li Hongzhang, If it weren't for the identity of the son-in-law of the Zeng family, Klinsmann & Co. would not have been able to leave other foreign companies behind so quickly and establish a network of intensive cultivation throughout China.

"President? Can't see it? Princess Katrina Kaf asked softly, "Otherwise, just push them off and attack according to the original plan?" ”

President Meng snorted, shook his head and said, "This face must be given, and the general attack time will be delayed by an hour!" I'll see Zeng Jize first. ”

Originally, Zeng Jize was still at home to Zeng Guofan's filial piety, in this era, the Qing court officials died of their father, at least three years to stay at home, Zeng Guofan has only been dead for two years, it stands to reason, Zeng Jize has not come out so quickly, in the original history, after Zeng Jize came out, he was put into the prime minister's yamen, and later because he was familiar with foreign affairs, he was sent to Europe as the ambassador general, this is the original history, because of the arrival of President Meng, many processes have been disrupted, like Zeng Jize is now coming out in advance, this is the case.

President Meng gave a big salute to Zeng Jize, of course, he would not kneel, for President Meng, the Japanese-style bow is already the highest etiquette, "Uncle Zeng!" ”

I haven't met for two years, and I haven't been in contact, which makes President Meng quite ashamed, although the secretariat will contact and give a gift to him, but President Meng doesn't know how to explain because of the rebellion, so he hasn't been too lazy to explain.

Zeng Jize looked at President Meng carefully, sighed and said: "I have grown a lot taller, and I am very surprised, I didn't expect that Yue Meng, you would actually rebel." ”

President Meng couldn't help but smile and said, "Uncle Zeng, if you have something to say, please say it as soon as possible, I deliberately postponed the general attack for an hour for your sake, which is not correct militarily." ”

Zeng Jize and the British Minister Wei Tuma behind him, as well as the French Minister Luo Shuya, were shocked when they heard this, but they didn't expect that Xuan Yuemeng would even tell them the time of his general attack.

Of course, the three of them knew that Shanghai would not be able to stop the Chinese army.

Zeng Jize frowned and said, "Yue Meng, do you really want to take Shanghai?" Have you ever thought that if you take Shanghai, do you have the ability to defend it? Why did the bandits take Shanghai and quit in the first place? Because they can't hold it at all, even if you can take Shanghai, there will be a steady stream of troops coming over immediately, have you been fighting like this? How many people do you have? How many people were there in the Great Qing Kingdom? Do the people of Fujian, Guangdong and Zhejiang listen to you? ”

President Meng nodded, um, of course he thought about these problems, but the current situation is really good, so he has to fight Nanjing and Shanghai, establish the international status of the regime, and now the headache is two problems, one is what Zeng Jize said, after taking Shanghai and Nanjing, the Qing army will definitely do the same as before dealing with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, get a bunch of Jiangnan camps, Jiangbei camps like this ghost camp, the Qing army's ability to explode is not bad, even if it can't be defeated, it will keep exploding, It's not a matter of dying a million a year, these people are all Han Chinese!

This is indeed a big problem.

There is also a problem, that is, the problem of Taiwan and the Ryukyu Kingdom that President Meng has not solved.

There are still more than 50,000 Qing troops and more than 2,000 Japanese in Tainan in Taiwan, and the Japanese mainland is also tightening its control over the Ryukyu Kingdom.

Because these are not within the scope of the original history, and President Meng doesn't have much historical knowledge.

The whole history has been messed up, President Meng's heart is becoming more and more calm, to this point, what he has to worry about for the time being is how many fish he can fight, and he doesn't have to worry about being destroyed at any time, after successfully developing his power in the south, he wants to destroy Huaguo immediately, it's almost impossible, Huaguo's current strength has reached the peak state of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but there is not so much territory, which has something to do with President Meng's concept, can't take care of so much barren land, blindly occupy a bunch of territory, in addition to making the army exhausted, No benefit at all.

"Uncle Zeng, I respect you, and I also inherit the connections of the Zeng family, so that we have today's situation, but I have no way back, and China has no way back, and if I am backward, I will be beaten, if I hadn't laid down today's situation, how could these two distinguished ambassadors come with you? If we develop step by step, I will not be able to lead the whole of China on the road to prosperity and strength. President Meng said lightly. (To be continued.) )
