0616 The British Army Rises Again

The Huacui Party is a political party with clear political goals and political programs, and for these ignorant and hazy political groups, the absorption ability is very strong, and it will not take long for them to be assimilated, so that the people of Tiandihui feel that joining the Huacui Party is a revolution and a concrete embodiment of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, the Huacui Party is the political party that is most in line with the living needs of the Chinese people in this era, there is a clear land distribution structure, the people need land, as for whether it is their own land, in fact, it does not matter, the people's land is used to cultivate food, Huaguo land is state-owned, allocated to the people, such as school students' desks, often change groups, but the desks are not moving, if there is a problem with the distribution, you can readjust!

If the land is already in the hands of a certain part of the people, it will cost people their lives if they want to exchange it.

The people of the Heaven and Earth Society, in fact, know how ridiculous it is to shout all day long to restore the Ming Dynasty, which has been destroyed for two hundred years.

At the behest of President Meng, Wang Zhankui and Liu Yongfu even worshipped their godparents.

It's a worship.

It's just that Liu Yongfu and Xuan Hongtao are about the same age, much older than Wang Zhankui.

And Wang Zhankui's status is very high, as President Meng's chief of guard, although his position is not high, he is a person who can approach President Meng at any time.

If it weren't for Wang Zhankui's recommendation, Liu Yongfu would not have seen President Meng, and he would not have had the opportunity to develop independently!

With the support of President Meng and joining the Huacui Party, Liu Yongfu feels like he has found a support, not to mention how happy he is.

Therefore, the matter of worshipping the handle was proposed by Liu Yongfu first, and Wang Zhankui worshiped Liu Yongfu after obtaining the consent of President Meng.

Liu Yongfu also introduced the leaders of the Heaven and Earth Society to Wang Zhankui, so that the Bureau of Statistics also had a detailed list, in fact, it was equivalent to controlling the Heaven and Earth Society.

"We are the Huacui Party, alas, how can we be like the Jianghu Ke, and still worship the son?" Princess Katrina Kaaf asked President Moe.

Geger couldn't help but smile, as if what Princess Katrina Kafu wanted to ask was also what she wanted to ask.

President Meng said with a smile: "The Huacui Party is a political party, and a political party is also emotional, and a political party without emotion, a government without emotion, is short-lived." ”

Princess Katrina Kaaf nodded thoughtfully.

Jie Gege couldn't help but say: "I didn't find out that President Meng has any feelings, doesn't the court treat you well?" Without the imperial court, do you have everything you have now? ”

The cute president sweats, and Jiegege seems to be able to find an opportunity to count himself down at any time.

However, President Meng does feel that he has a moral debt on the issue of the Qing court, and he continues to pay tribute to the Qing court, on the one hand, there is this reason in it, and on the other hand, it is also to let Cixi continue to enjoy a luxurious life! At the very least, it can weaken the resistance to China.

"Gege, can you stop talking about this? I'm not officially rebelling, are you trying to force me into rebellion? President Meng blinked, deliberately teasing Jiegege.

Gege pouted, "Isn't this a formal rebellion?" How? Is it really necessary to take the city of Beijing? ”

President Meng's heart moved, in fact, President Meng had long wanted to build Beijing City.

In fact, with the strength of the First Field Division of the Chinese Army, there is really a chance, at least, the strength of the First Field Division of the Chinese Army is much stronger than that of the First Opium War and the Second Opium War, when the foreigners were stronger!

However, war is not the only means to solve problems, not to mention, war is not the most important, the economy is the most important, and fighting a war is always fighting the economy.

The reason why the Qing court succumbed to the foreigners was because of the unequal economy!

On the surface, during the First Opium War and the Second Opium War, there were not many people in the Anglo-French coalition army, but to see how huge the navy they had, and they had huge funds to back it up, as well as a huge country and strong logistics, I have to say that once the Anglo-French coalition army was frustrated, next time it would not call 10,000 people, but immediately call 30,000 troops and 40,000 troops over, which the Qing court could not bear.

In fact, before the First World War, the military gap between countries was not particularly obvious, and the main competition, the competition between countries, was still reflected in the economy.

This is also the reason why Japan had to borrow a large amount of money from the foreign powers to start the First Sino-Japanese War.

"Do you want me to fight Beijing? Maybe, I'll really go for it. President Meng looked at Jie Gege with a straight face.

Geger's eyes instantly turned red, "What did you say?" You're still not human, are you? ”

President Moe blinked, "Sometimes, I feel like I'm not human. ”

The establishment of the president's Nanyang Compact member organization did not go smoothly, and the United States was the first to agree, because the United States has the weakest navy, does not have much sea power in Asia, and trade is mainly based on China.

In fact, the United States does not care about the development of China at all, the good development of China does not do him much, and the collapse of China has little to do with the United States, but because President Grant of the United States has a good personal relationship with President Moe, mainly because President Meng from time to time asked the United States Station of the Bureau of Statistics to send some money, so that the United States Klinsmann & Co. transferred it to Durant, so the United States was the first to agree to join the member countries of the South Seas Compact that had little to do with the interests of the United States.

The accession of the United States has not played much role, and the United States has already joined more than a dozen organizations such as President Moe's Nanyang Compact member countries.

The key is still France, the Netherlands and Spain, especially France, among the three, although France has just been beaten by Germany, but the overseas power is still very strong! Vietnam has an army of more than 5,000 men, dozens of warships in Asia, and a strong commercial force.

As for the Netherlands and Spain, although both countries have declined, they are traditional sea power countries, and their strength is among the few in Asia, and their international status is very good.

After more than a dozen contacts, France, the Netherlands, Spain, and France explicitly rejected the invitation of President Moe's Nanyang Compact member organizations, while the Netherlands and Spain took an ambiguous attitude.

This kind of international organization must have a leading big brother, and the current strength of the United States is definitely not able to sit on the leading big brother, and China and Britain are still at war, so the member countries of the South Seas Compact have obvious characteristics of confrontation with Britain, which also requires that only a great power of this level in France is worthy of being a leading big brother!

On March 25, 1873, the British gathered more than 10,000 invading troops and more than 150 large and small warships, still led by the British commander-in-chief, Vice Admiral Ewan MacGregor, to suddenly assemble at the mouth of the Pearl River and launch a large-scale attack on the coast of Guangzhou and Hong Kong.

The British army is actually a sneak attack, although the two sides are already in a state of war, but they made a ghost, first sent someone to negotiate with President Meng, President Meng didn't pay attention to this fork in the road at all, how shameless the British are, he knows better than anyone else, President Meng originally grew up in the concession.

Although President Meng had already arranged, the forts still could not withstand the powerful firepower of the British army, all the forts were beaten and could not raise their heads, all the coastal facilities were destroyed, Victoria Harbour was paralyzed, and Hong Kong became an isolated place again.

Hong Kong has the First Field Division of the Chinese Army and the Hong Kong Garrison Division, as well as a powerful artillery brigade, and the land battle is not afraid, the fortifications are divided into four routes, food and drinking water, and they are also relatively well prepared during this time.

The main reason is that there are no ordinary people in Hong Kong at this time, either the First Field Division of the Chinese Army and the Hong Kong Garrison Division, or the Construction Corps, which are basically army establishments, and such a Hong Kong is not afraid of a strong attack, and it is as hard as a diamond.

The commander of the British army, Lieutenant General Ewan MacGregor, commanded the army to launch a fierce attack on Hong Kong, landing operations, but was beaten by President Meng's first fortification, and for three whole days, the British army, composed of more than 10,000 troops, could not even touch the edge of the first line of defense of the Chinese army.

Not to mention, break through the four lines of defense heavily garrisoned by the Chinese army and hit the island of Hong Kong.

Hong Kong's waterways are crisscrossed, even if it is not a commercial center, it will definitely be used as a military center of gravity, and the geographical conditions are indeed quite good.

In fact, President Meng is not afraid of fighting with the British army, what he is afraid of is that the great powers will come to deal with him, and the heroes can't stand the large number of people, let alone the economic blockade.

The blockade of the Qing court is the most unbearable for China, and in addition, Europe cannot be cut off, and it can't support President Meng's industrial development plan by relying on Nanyang Xiaohei alone!

Lieutenant General Ewan MacGregor, the commander of the British army, saw that Hong Kong would definitely not be defeated, so he turned to attack Guangdong, burning, killing and looting around Guangzhou, and doing all kinds of evil.

President Meng did not have a naval confrontation, he sent all the more than a dozen British warships captured to Danzhou, and all the British cargo ships to the north, not daring to confront the British at sea.

This is not a kind of problem, this strength, in front of the huge fleet of the British army, is also a joke, among the more than 150 warships, the British army has more than 20 medium cruisers, not counting frigates and light cruisers, just these 20 or so medium cruisers, can already single-handedly compete with the entire Asian naval fleets of all countries, not to mention the small fleet of President Meng.

Even if President Meng has a kind, he fought with the British at sea, and the training was not enough, and the more than 1,000 naval officers and soldiers trained by the shipside artillery ironclad ship are still on the sea without two years of freshmen, recruits, even the Danzhou 187201 shipside artillery ironclad ship of President Meng is still ineffective, how can it be possible to come up and operate more than ten warships that have just captured the British.
