Chapter 325 The south of the Yangtze River is swept away

He had just returned from inspecting the Yantang Artillery Bureau of the former Manchu Qing Dynasty, which was now expanded into the Guangzhou Arsenal of the New People's Army, when he heard someone rushing in to report. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Commander! There is a person who calls himself Wang Chengrong who asks to see him! ”

Liu Yongfu sighed and asked, "What's the matter with this person!" ”

Now Liu Yongfu is in a good mood, and the Guangzhou Arsenal has received all the equipment from the Franklin Arsenal in the United States, as well as all the data on the production of various weapons and ammunition.

There are one of the three foreign students who are now living in Guangzhou (Rong Que, Huang Kuan, Huang Sheng, the first three foreign students in China. Huang Kuan's translation, the Guangzhou Arsenal has understood these foreign equipment and some technical knowledge, and began to gradually wipe production.

"He said he could help us set up the telegraph wire." The person who reported replied truthfully, and after hearing this, Liu Yongfu's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said, "Hurry up, please." ”

The marshal sent back a number of telegraphs and wires, and asked to set up a telegram from Guangzhou to Nanning and other prefectures, but he had no Dong Dong in his hands, and no foreign prisoners in his hands, and he asked several foreign businessmen who also said that they did not understand.

If only the French prisoners captured by the marshal had not been sent to Sichuan to work as mechanics.

Soon, a young man wearing a coat with short and medium hair that reached his shoulders after cutting off his braids walked in: "The villain Wang Chengrong has seen Commander Liu, and I heard that the commander wants to set up a telegraph in the land of Liangguang, so he has come to help. ”

"Good, good! I don't know where Mr. Wang came from, how can he know the things of foreigners. Liu Yongfu laughed a few times, invited someone to take a seat, let people watch tea, respectful and polite, Wang Chengrong was flattered, this is very different from the image of the official in his image, the previous Manchu officials can meet and listen to you say a word, where will be polite to you, usually a pair of officials, high.

So he said: "Commander Liu! In the morning, I was doing business in France, and I knew a lot about Western things, so I made some things by myself, but in the end, I couldn't get a half-finished product. ”

(Wang Chengrong was the first person in China to invent the telegraph, but the Manchus did not adopt it)

After hearing this, Liu Yongfu had another feeling that the atmosphere of the New People's Army was open and that it had a strong ability to accept all kinds of weapons and machines from the West.

Hearing that Wang Chengrong said that he had personally made this telegraph, he was surprised and said: "Sir, I believe that I will soon be able to crack the ingenuity and make a better telegraph, so I can rest assured, the matter of erecting the telegraph line, it seems that Mr. Wang will have to be troubled, especially the operation and use of this piece." ”

Wang Chengrong stood up and said: "I dare not be tired, I must do my best, the commander will first take me to see the style of the telegraph, and the number of telegraph lines, to see how far it can be erected." ”

"Good! Then we'll go now! Time is tight, Liu Yongfu also wants to test Wang Chengrong, to see if he really understands, soon the two went to the factory warehouse, here Wang Chengrong on the telegraph and telegraph lines and some directions of precautions are not bad, this made Liu Yongfu satisfied and relieved, after coming back also wrote a letter to Yang Dongfang to send.

After soliciting consent, the telegraph line from Guangzhou to Taipingwei (Humen) was erected first, so that the fort could better command the fort and obtain information about the mouth of the Pearl River.

Hangzhou City!

On the white war horse riding into the city, it was the heroic Feng Yuniang, who had just arrived here with hundreds of elite soldiers, and was in charge of military affairs in the Hangzhou area at the same time.

The third column is currently guarding Quzhou and Jinhua, and Hangzhou and Ningbo are guarded by three regiments, the 23rd, 24th, and 25th regiments of a division transferred from the Second Army.

There are also two security regiments that were transferred from Shanghai to transport artillery from Chenghao.

Feng Yuniang is also famous in the south of the Yangtze River, at this time Liang returned to the original name of Sanniang, and after taking over most of Zhejiang, he immediately began to deploy Hangzhou Bay and Zhoushan and Ningbo's coastal defense.

Of course, it has also set up a local security regiment and an engineer regiment to vigorously and resolutely eradicate the bully landlords, distribute land and distribute grain, and other measures to unite the people.

"Commander! The coastal defense artillery brought in from Shanghai arrived. ”

"Good! We used to receive! Soon Feng Yuniang saw the two security regiments and the huge artillery, and sighed: "Sure enough, I didn't mistake this kid, I don't know where this cannon robbed the United States, it is so huge, Willy must be extraordinary." ”

The commander of the security brigade straightened his chest and said: "Commander Feng, according to the order of the military department, the lower officers will temporarily return to the Hangzhou Military Region, and I don't know how to arrange the lower officers." ”

Feng Yuniang glanced at him and said, "Since it is the cannon you sent, you must have some understanding of artillery, so you are responsible for the use of these cannons, how about you urging the commander." ”

The security brigade commander replied: "Commander! He urged the commander to be all right there, and he also asked me to bring Commander Feng the good news, Xuancheng had been killed by our 14th division to break through the Manchu puppet king Yang Changjun; Jiang Yifeng broke through from the west of Ningguo and captured Liu Kunyi alive, and now it is estimated that the 15th Division and the 14th Division will meet, urging the commander to return to Shanghai, and the entire south of the Yangtze River will be left with Chizhou and Tongling, and the 15th Division will attack Tongling in the next step, and the enemy of the two cities will be disintegrated with the Central Route Army from east to west. ”

Anqing!

"Xueqin! Is there any confidence to defeat the Sanjiang Naval Division of the New People's Army. ”

In the face of the fierce New People's Army, Zeng Guoquan except for tens of thousands of drops to defend Anqing City, there is only the Yangtze River Naval Division under Peng Yupho, 20,000 Naval Division is his biggest reliance, if the Naval Division is defeated, the New People's Army warship will go straight down, up to Nanjing, the entire Yangtze River will be threatened by the Sandong Naval Division, Chizhou and Tongling on the south bank of the Shuijiang River will directly surrender, and all the south of the Yangtze River will enter the pocket of the New People's Army.

At the same time, Anqing will also be unsafe, and Suijin will be attacked by the New People's Army.

"Your Majesty, the ministers will do their best to protect my Hunan and Han, today will be a vicious battle, even if we can win, it will be a tragic victory, we still can't stop the army of the New People's Army from capturing Chizhou and Tongling." Peng Yupho has lost some confidence in Zhan Zheng, and he is not very optimistic about Xianghan, but he still has a loyalty to the Zeng family.

asked: "Your Majesty, if Li Hefei's side can send troops to attack Nanjing or fight Su Chang, we don't have to suffer so hard." ”

Zeng Guoquan snorted coldly and said: "Damn Li Hefei, if he still misses the old feelings, he would have fought back to the New People's Army in Jiangnan a long time ago, he wanted to wait for us to spend a lot of energy with the New People's Army, and he didn't mean to eat us and seize Anqing Mansion." ”

"Since the snipe and the clam are competing for the benefit of the fisherman, can we negotiate with the New People's Army and take the path of the prince directly." Peng Yupho mentioned it carefully, but Zeng Guoquan directly sneered coldly:

"Don't mention this useless, I don't even admit that his surname is Zeng, the body of the prince actually joined the New People's Army, what is the New People's Army, they are long hair, even if he doesn't want to be the emperor, there is no need to fall to the enemy, he forgot how many long hairs our Hunan army killed, look, in the future, Long Hair will be counted sooner or later, but the time has not yet come."

Peng Yuphosphorus said: "But the son is holding the suicide note of the first emperor. ”

"Xueqin! Don't talk about it, this is just a trick of the New People's Army, how could the eldest brother write that after his death, the Zeng family is not allowed to lead the army in politics as an official, and give up the will of the Hunan and Han dynasties. You'd better keep your mind set on water warfare. ”

"Yes!" (To be continued.) )
