Chapter 35: A Visit to Prince Gong

When Prince Gong received the servant's report, the corners of his mouth showed a smile, others said that the monk is a martial artist, not understanding the world, in fact, only a few people like him know, this is just the disguise of the monk king, if a prince with a military industry, and then show a superhuman city, then let the emperor sleep?

During the day, it was just a look, no, at night, Monk Greenqin took Guo Ye to visit.

Prince Gong shouted: "Bring the monk and Guo Shen into the living room, prepare fragrant tea and snacks, and serve them well." ”

Prince Gong slowly stood up, tidied up his clothes, and walked towards the living room.

came to the living room, at this time Monk Greenqin was already sitting on the leather sofa imported from Turkey, as for Guo Ye, he was not qualified to sit down, so he could only stand beside Monk Greenqin.

Prince Gong? laughed and said: "Hahaha, the monk king, this king has been looking forward to it for a long time, and finally waited for you, it is unwelcome, forgive the sin, forgive the sin!" ”

Monk Greenqin replied with a smile: "The prince is polite, it's really ashamed to come to bother him so late." ”

Guo Ye on the side hurriedly said: "Humble Guo Ye to the prince to say goodbye!" ”

Prince Gong? smiled: "Okay, get up Guo Ye, sit down and talk, you are the hero of our Qing Dynasty, heroes have been young since ancient times, and the rivers and mountains of the Qing Dynasty are pointing to you young handsome people." ”

Guo Ye thanked him repeatedly, and he didn't dare to take it.

After sitting down, Monk Greenqin asked: "Lord Wang, a few days ago, you showed me in color, isn't there something wrong?" ”

Abundant? said with a smile: "Lord Wang, we are all old acquaintances, we don't tell lies in front of real people, and I intend to have a deep talk with the prince today, one is because of Guo Ye, and the other is because of the court situation." ”

"Oh?"

Seng Lingqin was slightly surprised, Prince Gong has never asked about court affairs, but this time it was a little special, why did he take the initiative to ask about the court situation?

Abundant? He smiled bitterly and said: "Monk King, don't look at me like this, although I am just an idle king now, but the court is worried about internal and external troubles, especially Britain and France, I can't help but pay attention, after all, this is the foundation of the ancestors, the first emperor lost the face of the ancestors after losing in the last war, do we have to lose face again?" You give me a solid bottom, over there in Dagukou, can we withstand it? ”

Monk Greenqin's face was straight, and he said proudly: "Don't worry, as long as my monk Greenqin is still in Tianjin, then I will definitely be able to defend Dagukou, otherwise those foreign devils will go ashore!" ”

Abundant? With a solemn face, he asked, "What if, I said if, once we lose the war?" After all, the British and French ships are strong and well-armed, and it is not so easy to hold the Dagu Pass, this time the British lost for a while, and they will definitely not give up! ”

Monk Greenqin sneered: "Lord, Hugh wants to grow the morale of others and destroy his own prestige, although their ships are strong and their guns are sharp, but it is not impossible to win in battle, not to mention the battle of Dagukou, the British and French fleets suffered heavy losses, I am afraid that they may not have the courage to fight again, right?" ”

Guo Ye on the side shook his head and smiled bitterly, after several victories, this monk king began to be a little fluttering, and won the battle? Guo Ye is really not optimistic about the current Qing army, the cavalry of Seng Lingqin is indeed powerful, but it is not the current cavalry that is powerful, but the Mongolian iron cavalry he brought from Mongolia and Outer Mongolia, in the battle with the Northern Expeditionary Army, although Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang's Taiping army was wiped out, but the Mongolian cavalry also suffered a lot of casualties, and in the subsequent battle with the bandits, it was a lot of damage, and now the main force of the cavalry is no longer the original Mongolian iron cavalry, but the Mongolian cavalry supplemented by Chahar, Chifeng and other places, These Mongols are seriously sinicized, and they are not as strong and effective as they used to be!

And if you have a big mouth, you can hold it? The Anglo-French forces will definitely not give up, and the next time they come, it will not be just more than 20 warships and two or three thousand people, but a full 25,000 people, and this time it may be more!

With so many modern troops, followed by advanced naval artillery, it is definitely not something that Dagukou can resist! In the next two years, the British and French forces will definitely put their magic hands into China, straight to the city of Beijing!

Seeing Guo Ye shaking his head slightly, Yi? said with a smile: "Guo Ye, I am good friends with the monk king, since you are his junior, then you are also my junior, if you have anything to say, just say it, let's take a closer look." ”

Guo Ye smiled bitterly: "Two princes, to be honest, I am very optimistic about this war, once the British and French forces make a comeback, then the Jedi will not only be the strength of the last time, it may be ten or eight times the original thousands of people!" Now England and France are first-class powers in the world, and their national strength is strong, and they will never suffer this dumb loss, just like when Kangxi was prosperous, will we tolerate the invasion of small countries around us? That's definitely the big ear scraper fan in the past, and now Britain and France want to think about our Kangxi prosperous era back then, sharp and insatiable, a defeat will definitely attract their greater revenge! ”

"Guo Ye!"

Monk Greenqin was slightly unhappy, this kid is becoming more and more evil when he speaks, is it true that the whole world can only let the British and French foreign devils run rampant, and no one can stop them? Could it be that the impregnable Dagu mouth can't be held now? Since we can hold on the first time, we can definitely beat them a second time!

Monk Lingqin said: "Why are you so sure that we are not their opponents? ”

Guo Ye smiled bitterly: "Lord Wang, if there is no war in the south now, and the elite soldiers of the rivers and lakes gather in Gyeonggi, we still have the strength to fight, or we can win the battle, now, no, we definitely don't have such strength!" In the north, except for the cavalry under your command with a certain combat effectiveness, the rest of the Eight Banners and Green Battalion soldiers can't go to the battlefield at all, so it's really difficult for us to have no chance of winning! Even if we were able to hold the mouth of Dagu, wouldn't the Anglo-French forces land elsewhere? They are above the sea and can move quickly at any time, how did our army run so fast? ”

Monk Grinqin fell silent when he arrived, yes, maybe he could hold the mouth of Dagu, but what about other places? Qingdao? Yantai? No matter how fast your cavalry runs, you can't overtake the ship! Maybe the distance of 100 miles can keep up, once the distance is far, the disadvantage of the war horse will be revealed, even if you are tired to death, you will definitely not be able to run, not to mention that the fleet may not necessarily attack anywhere.

"Guo Ye, then how do you think we should deal with the crisis we are facing this time? Don't we have any hope? ”

Prince Gong still asked unhurriedly.
