"Xu Huai!"

Shi Dakai shouted. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xu Huai is a few henchmen who followed Shi Dakai to the West, all of whom are young, in their early twenties, but their potential cannot be underestimated, Shi Dakai plans to cultivate them, and when he returns to China, he will bring them all back, as a great gift to Guo Ye.

Xu Huai hurriedly agreed: "Wing King! ”

"What prince!"

Shi Dakai smiled bitterly and said: "Okay, don't call me that in the future, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has become a cloud, and this Wing King has already become an ancient, so call me Master in the future, I haven't accepted a disciple over the years......"

"Master!"

Xu Huai's heart was overjoyed, and he quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

Shi Dakai waved his hand and replied: "Okay, don't be in such a hurry, Donnie Yen and a few of them also have a part in this matter, one day there is nothing to do, I will officially include you in the door wall, you first talk about it, the current military movement of the British ......"

Xu Huai hurriedly replied, "Master! Now England has assembled two divisions of troops, more than 30,000 troops, all of which are elite forces stationed in the mainland, and I heard that a fleet will be mobilized to China, in addition, in the South Seas and India, England has no less than 100,000 troops, ready to carry out follow-up support......"

Shi Dakai nodded, the strength of the two divisions, 30,000 people, plus the navy, this strength is not weak, "What about the French side?" ”

Xu Huai hurriedly replied: "Master, the situation in France is not very clear, but, according to the information we have bought, this time the British and French and Spanish troops will be as high as 100,000 people, the Western army is all equipped with advanced muskets, sophisticated weapons, and the artillery is even more powerful, as if the French are known as the king of artillery, the world is invincible, they will have about forty artillery pieces for every 10,000 people, according to this calculation, they go to China, and the artillery they carry may reach more than 400 guns, plus the ship's naval guns... …”

Four hundred artillery pieces......

You must know that the artillery used by the Europeans is very advanced, and there is a world of difference between the Hunan Huai Chu Army and the Taiping Army's large number of breakthroughs, and only the artillery fire equipped in the Lu army can be compared, but even if it is the Lu army, it is impossible to equip 400 artillery, at most less than 200 guns, even if now because of the addition of the Taiping Army, equipment again, the overall number will definitely not reach 400!

Shi Da was shocked happily and muttered: "England, France, Spain, 100,000 troops, plus the fleet, this battle is enough for Guo Ye, Guo Ye, don't let me down......"

Xu Huai said in a low voice: "Master, even if General Guo Ye adds our Taiping Army, it is only more than 50,000 troops, even if the Taiping Army is equipped with a large number of firearms, the combat power cannot be compared with the original Lu Army, whether it is a musket or artillery, the shooting technology can not be improved in a month or two, maybe in a year or two, it will not be able to reach the level of foreigners, and there is no fleet to help, if you want to withstand the attack of the West, but it is really difficult......

Shi Dakai sighed and replied: "The strong enemy is pressing the realm, and at the moment of righteousness, whether it is Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, or Zuo Zongtang, they will not sit idly by. It's just that we don't count how strong the troops under them are, at most they are similar to our Taiping Army, and the Lu Army under Guo Ye is incomparable. ”

Xu Huai also had a bitter look on his face and asked, "Master, what are we going to do next?" ”

"A few of you are doing your best to collect intelligence in England, I need the most and most accurate information, don't be afraid to spend money, anyway, we bring out a lot of silver, in a word, buy me information!"

"Yes, Master!"

"Pass my words, order Qiu Qingfei, take Luo Hao, Tian Zhenhai, and Qu Licheng, and go to France this afternoon, specifically responsible for collecting intelligence from France, don't wait for my order, all the information sorted out every day will be sent back to China and handed over to Guo Ye, and we are the same here, from today onwards, all the intelligence sorted out by the British will be sent back to China every day! That's the only place we can help right now. ”

"Yes, Master!"

Shi Dakai came to Europe and brought over more than 20 people in one go, all of whom are young and capable talents, and they are all henchmen among henchmen, and those who can follow Shi Dakai's side are of course the most trusted people.

Shi Dakai gave orders one after another, conveyed them, and everyone took action.

Shi Dakai sat back on the chair, thought for a moment, picked up the brush on the table, wrote hard, and after a short time, he wrote a letter, handed it to Xu Huai, and said in a deep voice: "Immediately send this letter to Guo Ye in the form of a telegram, let him quickly think about how to deal with it, and you should also be prepared, once the war in China is unfavorable, it will be time for us to return to China in advance......

Xu Huai was shocked, and said suspiciously: "Master, don't we have the will of the imperial court and strictly prohibit returning to the country?" ”

"Confused, the survival of the country is in the middle of the day, who has the heart to care about this? As soldiers, we can only die on the way to charge at the alien enemy! If Guo Ye and they really can't stand it, then I can only return to China and gather the disbanded Taiping Army again, we are all Chinese, as long as we are Chinese, we must not forget our roots, the mountains and rivers are broken, the family and country are sinking, then we will all become lonely ghosts, rootless duckweed, our children and grandchildren will have no place to live, a place to stand, for the sake of each of our descendants, even if it is bloodshed, we must drive out the foreign race! ”

Shi Dakai stood up and shouted in a deep voice, a majestic force burst out!

Xu Huai's heart shook, and his blood was surging by Shi Dakai's words, and he shouted: "Master, don't worry, no matter what time it is, we will swear to follow you to the death, isn't it just fighting with foreign devils?" Who is afraid of whom, we were not afraid of foreigners with swords back then, and now there are guns and cannons, and there is no reason to be afraid! The Taiping Army has never been a bad seed! ”

Shi Dakai patted Xu Huai's shoulder fiercely and said, "Okay, good boy, I didn't mistake you, go ahead, hurry up and get busy, I need to be alone for a while......"

Xu Huai turned to leave.

Shi Dakai walked to the window and quietly looked at the east, China, Qing court, Guo Ye, Zuo Zongtang, this time it is time to test you, to test each of us Chinese, and even more so to test our Yangyang China, are you ready? Is China ready?
