Chapter 275: Qin Kaixin's hand-drawn thick line

The exclamation of the entourage immediately attracted the attention of Li Fengbao and Xu Jianyin, and the two of them looked into the distance, and sure enough, from the direction of the mouth of the Oder River, a huge battleship was coming quickly, in addition to the high chimney emitting thick black smoke, the battleship was on deck, and it was also a black smoke, which looked like a fire.

This surprised the two of them, and the entourage hurriedly brought binoculars, and Li Fengbao stood still and carefully observed the battleship in the distance...... Sure enough, there was a serious accident, although it is not real, but the messy appearance on the foredeck and the gun mount that is still smoking clearly explain the problem!

The two of them immediately hit me in a hurry, and immediately sent someone to report to Rudolph, who was in charge of the design of the battleship at the Volken shipyard? Engineer Huck, after Rudolph came over with the acceptance team, he waited for more than half an hour, and the Dingyuan ship finally slowly sailed into the berth of the dock.

This crowd is anxious, Rudolph is naturally worried about whether the shipyard's first export trade will be in vain, and Wang Ruijie, who followed the old man Rudolph, is bent on finding out what went wrong with this battleship that has poured his heart and soul into it!

As soon as the ship docked in port, several wounded soldiers were carried off the battleship, and the front end of the battleship that was close at hand continued to smoke, obviously suffering a lot of damage! The two trial commanders hurriedly came over to report the situation to Rudolph, and it turned out to be a bore accident that occurred in one of the battleship's front main guns, a twin 305mm, 25 times the diameter of the Krupp heavy gun!

Everyone was staring at each other, and this incomparably sophisticated Krupp cannon was blown up...... What kind of thing is this, when that thing explodes, this power is terrifying, not counting the propellant, the bomb alone weighs 330 kilograms, this battleship was not destroyed, it is undoubtedly a lucky thing......

Everyone hurried onto the battleship, the foredeck was in a mess, according to Xu Jianyin and Wei Hanjian, who was sent by Li Zhongtang to supervise the battleship in the later period, Dingyuan, which was originally completely imitated by the British "Inflecil" lù Taiwan gun, was improved, and the roof of the steel dome armor was added, and now it is ...... The roof was completely torn apart without a trace, and there was blood on the ground, and it seemed that the German artillery who tested the artillery was a great tragedy.

Rudolf hurriedly took Wang Ruijie and his group to begin to carefully inspect the bow gun position, the hoisting machine system, and the water pressure system, and the result was undoubtedly tragic.

After Dingyuan was towed back to the outfitting position, a comprehensive inspection was carried out immediately, and the damaged foredeck and front main guns were ready to be dismantled and re-outfitted, which made the giant battleship, which originally hoped to join the Qing fleet as much as possible, could only be forced to postpone, and for the investigation report on the explosion of the Krupp heavy artillery, Wang Ruijie was also very sensitive and secretly asked for a copy, and every half a month, the collected materials would be sent back to China through Wang Chenyu of Guò Hamburg!

However, on the whole, Xu Jianyin and Wei Han, who was in charge of supervising the quality of the Dingyuan ship, were satisfied, even if such a big accident happened this time, in fact, after the explosion, although it was difficult to operate, the remaining other 305mm Krupp gun could continue to shoot.

Volkeng Shipyard was also very surprised by such an accident, after all, it is rare for artillery to blow up on Krupp guns, and the guns installed on battleships need to be tested before they are shipped over for outfitting, but Rudolph immediately thought that Xu Jianyin would re-ask Krupp Artillery Company to send new guns to ensure quality.

When the news of the Dingyuan ship reached Guangzhou, Qin Kai was also stunned, he remembered that in the naval battle a few years later, Dingyuan also made a big swing, and the first salvo of the front main gun shook the bridge...... And Xiao actually said that Ultraman was possessed, and the first shot hit the Dingyuan bridge! Could it be that it has something to do with the explosion of the artillery this time...... Or do you think too much about yourself!!

However, this is not a problem for him to consider, Rudolph, the designer of the two ships in Dingzhen? According to the "Sino-French New Treaty" signed by Lord Li Zhongtang, the troops holding the Yellow Dragon Banner had to be withdrawn within 60 days, while the French leased Haiphong and Hanoi retained power...... This was originally a big oolong, and Li Zhongtang also made an ostrich according to the meaning of the palace. ,

The French want to continue to play yīn in North Vietnam, and they don't mind accompanying them at all, but the name of one qiē and one qiē has to be changed slightly, thinking of this, Qin Kai can't help but think of a vigorous war between Taizu and the American imperialists in Korea, but the current French powers...... It's a bit too reluctant to call them great powers in the north of Vietnam!

The French regular army in the entire northern Vietnam is dying, fleeing, and the protector is about to carry out a comprehensive reorganization, Qin Kai now has a large number of troops at hand, and the Guangdong army and the Gui army stationed in northern Vietnam are all scattered, and they urgently need to be reorganized and supplemented, this is a great opportunity, there is power in the barrel of the gun, and Taizu's words have been proven countless times.

The current North of Vietnam can be described as rampant banditry, the defeated French army, the Yellow Flag Army and the Vietnamese servant army scattered into the jungle, and the Vietnamese who were originally defeated by the French, those who retreated to North Vietnam to avoid trouble, all appeared in various guises, and the secret twists and turns from Feng Zicai and Su Yuanchun all showed that many of the militia groups that joined the anti-French in the later period were inextricably linked to the Guangxi Tiandi Society.

Soon, the intelligence department's information about the Guangxi Tiandihui was sent, due to the continuous war in northern Vietnam, coupled with the military victory of the French, many of the Tiandihui personnel who retreated into northern Vietnam at that time turned into peasants rose up, among which Zhang Heshun and Lu Yafa were the most powerful, and You Weihan and Lu Asong were collectively known as the four great Youyong.

However, now the situation found by the Intelligence Department is somewhat inexplicable to Qin Kai, Zhang Heshun and Lu Asong both went to Su Yuanchun's army to add the Huai army, and You Weihan took more than 3,000 rabble to Feng Zicai directly when Langran County was besieged.

Only this Lu Yafa is entrenched in the mountains of Pinglong, but he never attacks the Qing army and the Han people, but only robs the French merchants and the rich Vietnamese households, and these so-called heaven and earth will be just a rabble of half-peasants and half-soldiers, and the war is all based on a sharp spirit, when the French army came before, it also took over the battle with the French, but their few birds, even the stick may not be able to have a stick, how can they win, fortunately, the mountain is their home field, if they can't fight, they can run, and the French are quite helpless!

In the current northern part of Vietnam, in addition to the major cities in the protection and control of the country, many villages and towns, and even small county towns in the mountains, are controlled by these various forces that have risen up from the poles, and this increasingly violent situation has even been officially included in the "Sino-French New Testament" -- "The borders are adjacent to various places, and China and France have taken matters into their own hands, pacified the bandit parties and displaced people, and managed to dissolve"!

On April 18, under the escort of the Nanyang Naval Division, he hurried to Haiphong, and all the Qing generals and escort officers on the eastern front of northern Vietnam were summoned here, and Lord Qin Cha wanted to announce something important.

Zhou Ruidong and Zhang Kui were naturally the first batch of instructors who had just disembarked, and they unexpectedly found that there was a 50-year-old half-old man behind the instructor, Qin Kai introduced his proud disciple to Zhao Liewen, and for this Qin Liefeng to be so relieved and bold to use his young students to preside over the national war, Lao Zhao was somewhat dizzy...... This Qin Fierce Wind is not bold, it is extremely reckless!

It's just that these two labels don't seem to have any connection with this Governor of Qin, but these students of him ...... Zhao Liewen looked at them one by one, they were all young people in their early 20s, how could this Governor of Qin be so relieved?

What impressed him even more was that among the officers who came to greet Qin Kai, ten of them called Qin Kai an instructor, and the remaining one or two called them teachers, and in this group, except for the obvious respect for Qin Kai, there was no such atmosphere of condescension and humility in the officialdom at all, but...... Once an order was issued, it was carried out without hesitation, without the slightest procrastination.

Zhao Liewen's heart has a warm feeling, he was a staff member under Zeng Hou's tent back then, and he and Zeng Hou had nothing to talk about when he was young, otherwise how could he dare to talk nonsense about the destruction of the Qing Dynasty that was enough to cut off his head a hundred times, after Zeng Hou died, he could no longer find such a leader, who could guide the country freely, and the entire Qing Dynasty officialdom was like a pool of sludge, the more he struggled, the deeper he sank!

In the past few years of resignation, I had already broken off the idea of making a comeback, but I didn't expect to read Qin Kai's two books this time, and after a long talk, I moved my mind again, and today it seems that my choice is right...... Times are about to change! ,

Qin Kai called Zhou Ruidong several generals, his purpose this time was very clear, he must consolidate the territory of northern Vietnam in the shortest possible time, he brought a large map of Southeast Asia, on which is in central Vietnam, he used a thick pencil to draw a thick line at will.

Qin Kai found these generals and issued a series of orders, "Reorganize and protect, take the backbone as the framework and the Chinese battalion as the basis, become the soldiers and horses of the four towns of Annam, install stable officers, stabilize the north and occupy Ha Jing!" ”

Several officers have long been prepared for the formation of a new army, the imperial court is going to withdraw the troops, and the instructor will definitely leave the soldiers and horses to control the north of Vietnam, but this occupies Ha Jing, and a few people surround the map brought by Qin Kai, Ha Jing ...... Isn't it the place below Hanoi, are you worried that Hanoi will be attacked again, and you want to take this piece of land......

Even Zhao Liewen didn't understand the significance of this strategy order, the layout of this strategy was the result of a discussion between him and Qin Kai, this land in the north of the country could not be given to the French lightly no matter what, let alone in this situation, when the French were all scrapped and disabled......

However, why he wanted to advance the battle line south to the Ha Tinh area, he didn't understand it best, Qin Kai didn't mention the reason for this, and secretly snickered in his heart, this Hejing Yuxi iron mine, which is the lù Tian iron ore with the largest reserves in northern Vietnam, was only discovered in the 21st century, with reserves of more than 600 million tons, and it is a high-grade iron-rich ore with an iron content of 62%.

You must know that in later generations, the famous Northeast iron mines in China, the high-quality Benxi Mine, Panzhihua Iron Mine, and Ma'anshan Iron Mine are mostly associated iron ores, of which the higher quality iron ore content is 35%, of course, the reserves of these large iron ores are much larger than the Hejing Yuxi Mine, but such high-grade iron ore is undoubtedly full of yòuhuò power for Qin Kai, who is in urgent need of steel! This is also the purpose of him to take Ha Jing no matter what.

Moreover, for Hu, now is the opportunity to "take advantage of his illness and kill him", the French army in the north of Vietnam has even the last brigade and regiment, and if you don't take the opportunity to bite off a piece of French meat, it is really against the characteristics of the Nanyang system!

Several people discussed it, and immediately calculated the battle plan, the third association, the fourth association, and the fifth association did not get a good opportunity to participate in the attack, and the three generals were about to tear their faces to grab business with the first association and the second association, naturally, this deal was won by the three of them, after all, it is now the armistice period, and any form will cause diplomatic disputes between France and the Qing state.

But...... This agreement completely ignores the local natives, this loophole, how could Qin Kai miss it, the strategic supply, the problem of army composition was immediately taken over by the newly established Annan Army Command, of course, since it is the Annan Army, Zhou Ruidong is definitely not suitable to become commanders, but this is not a problem at all......

Zhendong General Nguyen Pu Xing's happy and comfortable days in Hue were over, and he would serve as the commander of the four towns of the Annam Army, and the so-called soldiers and horses of the four towns could not be organized for a while, so they were directly filled with the original team of the Three Associations, the Four Associations, and the Five Associations, and the three generals made cameos in the Annam Army as military advisers.

After this plan was introduced, even Ma Long, a general of the Fourth Association who didn't like to pick thorns, shouted: "Instructor, this ...... It's too fake! ”

"What a fake! Fool ......" Zhang Kui and Xue Chao on the side immediately vetoed Ma Long's assertion, and took out the edict stamped with the jade seal of the Vietnamese king, the official document signed by Song Xing, the prime minister of Zuo, and the letter of state signed by the little king of Vietnam to abolish the "Saigon Treaty", which was sent in duplicate, one to the French, and the other to Beijing at the appropriate time.

Zhao Liewen smiled slightly, and also jumped out to comment, "It's really fake, it can't be fake...... However, the two countries fought against each other, and there was no need to come openly to deal with the French, and the most important thing was to defeat them and stabilize the situation in the north of Vietnam! As for the court, they don't care about this matter of Yuebei at all, and after the attack on Hejing, there are more follow-up means, so that the French are overwhelmed! ”

An open conspiracy was completed in the secret room!

In the afternoon of the same day, Qin Kai, the governor of Liangguang and the minister of the Qin Mission, held an enlarged meeting of the whole army in Haiphong, and the participants were all senior generals of various armies, but the Cen family army in Yunnan, which was still tossing in Xuanhua, was not invited, and Qin Kai could not control the Cen family army in the first place.

And the Huai Army Wu Changbu Qing, Su Yuanchun, Gui Army Feng Zicai Department, and Yue Army Wu Kui Department are naturally all here, protecting the majesty of the North Vietnam, even Feng Zicai, who is the most powerful in the limelight, is dumbfounded, and the others are even more in awe. ,

Besides, the battle situation in northern Vietnam has gone from a fiasco to a complete victory, and this earth-shattering reversal is undoubtedly all due to the divine calculation of this Lord Qincha, and now that the war has ended, there has already been news that the Governor of Qincha will come to announce it today, and it is naturally a matter of asking for rewards from the imperial court, so there is no reason not to come.

At this time, it may not be possible to see so many Qing army generals, at this moment, the courtyard of the temporary governor's residence in Haiphong is also crowded, many officials naturally know each other, and after meeting, they naturally can't help but sigh, in this war, how many generals and generals have lost their heads and lost their lives, and it is not easy to survive until now!

In particular, Wu Kui, the most defeated general of the Guangdong army, several old acquaintances who met him came to him to inquire, you must know that the biggest leader of the Guangdong army is now the governor of Qincha Qin, Liu Kun was transferred to the governor of Liangjiang, and another big man in the Hunan army, Zuo Dashuai, is walking in the yamen of the military aircraft, and the new governor of Qin is said to have a very close relationship with the Hunan army.

Someone has already teased in a low voice, "Lord Wu, this time you are fighting hard in northern Vietnam, it is not easy, I want to come to the new Governor Qin will definitely ask for credit for you, brother, I came from Guangxi, I didn't meet a few French soldiers along the way, how can it be like you, with that thicker cannon barrel to bombard the Frenchman, this explosion is considered a military merit!" ”

Wu Kuina can't say that he is bitter, he is a veteran of the Hunan army, Liu Kunyi asked him to bring troops to North Vietnam, and he also knew that he had a set of leading troops, who knew that the war in North Vietnam was eroded like this, and he could lead the troops again, and the other soldiers and horses did not cooperate, plus the guns and weapons were far inferior to people, and this defeat was eaten, even his old brothers hung up a lot!

Fortunately, there are Governor Qin's soldiers and horses behind, Liu Kun and Governor Qin have made an appointment in advance, and he can be regarded as having not lost his family, what about this military exploit, he didn't dare to think about it, last time he didn't take the post on the spot with Tang Jiong, Zhao Wo, and Huang Guilan to wait for investigation, he was already secretly glad, he smiled bitterly, and didn't dare to say more, everyone waited with peace of mind.

When Qin Kai came out, it was the first time for many generals here to see this viceroy who looked very young but was already famous all over the world, and under the huge aura of Vietnam's victory, they couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Qin Kai looked at the officers present, in addition to the Nanyang Department, although the Feng Zicai Department and the Yue Army of the Gui Army were all under his direct jurisdiction, he really didn't dare to use them with confidence, but he understood that these forces could be captured by himself, and the Huai Army Department was ...... His eyes swept around, looking for someone...... RO@。
