Hearing about the battle situation in the north of Vietnam, Feng Zicai turned his head to look at Qin Kai, and suddenly asked, My lord, I will send a team of soldiers and horses to take Zhennan Pass overnight, is it okay? ”

Qin Kai who asked this question was in a cold sweat, we just knew that the French would soon withdraw, but I don't know that this will soon go overnight, a day, or ten days, you will send someone to get it, in case the French are still there to bury the pot and cook, wouldn't it be a tough battle, and then blame Lao Tzu for not being clever enough......

"Admiral Feng, you can decide this matter, I came this time just to defeat the French, for specific military affairs, Admiral, you can make your own decisions!" Qin Kai immediately threw off his burden.

Feng Zicai nodded, "Xia Guan understands!" ”

Qin Kai pointed to the map, in the plain area south of Bac Ninh, the flags of the three French brigades were placed there, and there was also a bunch of flags in front of the guard" "Everyone, although Bac Ninh is in my hands, but 20,000 people from the third, fourth, and eleventh brigades of the French are rushing to help, and the French Seventh Brigade, which was cut off by me, is bound to fight back desperately!" ”

When everyone in the audience heard Qin Kai's analysis, their hearts were also beating wildly, the French army in front was only five or six thousand people, and they had already beaten the Gui army, the Yue army, the Huai army, and the Dian army.

However, there are more than 20,000 French troops in the south of Bac Ninh, and there are also five or six thousand people in the north. Fortunately, it seems that it is not these people who are still in the north of Zhennan Pass to consider this problem, but the minister of the Qincha.

Could it be that the minister of the Chin Cha was completely sure that he would defeat more than 20,000 French troops? Everyone glanced at Qin Kai, and the young governor had a stunned expression on his face, and he didn't continue to explain in depth when he said this, but he was discussing with Feng Zicai in a low voice.

Lao Feng actually just wanted to ask, he naturally understood the urgency of the current war situation, the thorn in Beining is the focus of both sides, if the French can be pulled out in time, it will inevitably move north and attack all parts of Guangxi, and if the protection ** withstands the attack of the French, Guangxi's soldiers and horses defeated the French Seventh Brigade and joined with Bac Ninh, then the battle situation in northern Vietnam is promising, and now it is for the French to block the mouth of the country!

However, he knows about the strength of this Lord Qin, and it was this Lord who trained in North Vietnam in accordance with the will of the imperial court. What the hell is that? It's just that some Vietnamese natives have been trained to "be considered an army, but this adult's means are really hard to figure out, and it is indeed impossible to underestimate if he can attack Bac Ninh."

Lao Feng thought about it for a few seconds, this question could not be asked, he thought about it, and changed his tactful way of asking" said: "Lord Qin, our department will attack tomorrow, if we defeat the French Seventh Brigade along the Canghe River, and rush to Beining, it will take at least 4 days, I don't know if the army of Beining can hold on!" ”

"If you defeat the French army, I don't dare to be sure, if you stick to it, I will invest in the five associations in northern Vietnam" There is no problem" Qin Kaishen calmly answered Lao Feng's worries, he naturally understood that this was also the idea of other Qing army officers, the battle situation in northern Vietnam has reached the point of life and death, and there is no second possibility.

Qin Kai stood up, put another label on Heyang, Yunnan, and continued to explain: "Ladies and gentlemen, 4 days ago, I confirmed by telegram to Lord Cen Yuying, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, that more than 20,000 troops of the Yunnan army have entered northern Vietnam from Heyang and descended along the Ming River. ”

As soon as this news came out, everyone's confidence increased again.

He also pointed to the banner of the protector in front of Bac Ninh and the flag of the French, "The field battle in the south of Bac Ninh is a decisive battle that I have planned in northern Vietnam for 1 or two years, and there is no room for error. ”

Anyway, give the little stick at hand to Feng Zicai" "Admiral Feng, the arrangements for the next march are at your disposal, you can dispatch all the armies in Guangxi, I have only one request, to defeat the French Seventh Brigade!" That's right...... The bounties of each army are decided by yourself, one hundred taels and one hundred taels, and I will approve them all!! ”

When the officers heard this, their eyes were full of gold, 1oo two Frenchmen, this is a sky-high price! Admiral Feng had offered a reward of 5o taels before, but this was all for the French to return to their hometown, how could they have a chance to get it! Now the shape is different, Lord Qincha has pinched the French by the throat, and the odds of winning this attack are quite high! ,

Feng Zicai heard that Qin Kai still gave him the command of Jiāo, naturally he also felt extremely honored, and even had a feeling of sincere fear, he couldn't understand the ability of Lord Qin to strategize at all, how much ability did it take to attack Beining under the noses of the French, and dare to start a field battle face to face with the French......

At this moment, Feng Zicai could not have thought of another possibility, this Lord Qin was simply lazy, in fact, it was the case, Qin Kai came all the way, and he also pondered this problem, he would command it himself, or let Lao Feng go out, after thinking about it, this kind of skilled work is still jiāo for Feng Zicai to do, this is an old commander who fought in northern Vietnam, and he has command talents, and he is familiar with the army.

The soldiers and horses of each battalion were prepared for battle in the early morning after a little rest last night, and when it was dawn, the outpost led by Feng Zhaojin and four battalions had taken the lead, Qin Kai did not go to join in the excitement, he was relieved to listen to the reports of several officers sent by the Intelligence Department in the temporarily requisitioned mansion to report and collect the news, which was naturally all about Guangxi officials.

Xu Yanxu, the former governor of the western part of the country, and Zhao Guilan, the former governor, were all sent to Xinjiang to contribute to the motherland's borders, and the new governor of Liangguang, Zuo Zongtang, became a hot figure who became the master of the military aircraft for a while because of the reorganization of the military aircraft department.

He had the intention to grab the position of governor of Guangxi, and find someone of his own to sit in this position, but, obviously, he lacked enough strength in the court, which could not but be said to be a kind of resentment that made him entangled, along the way, he also considered this problem, the current land of China, whether it is the Westernists, the Qing school, the conservative Manchu nobles, all still have illusions, after all, the catastrophe 2o years ago made everyone remember it vividly.

At this time, on the basis of the first-class industry of the Far East and the Mawei Shipbuilding, he successfully created a cornerstone of modern industry, at present, the two complete technical systems in the hands of the ang factory, several mature steel mills, is undoubtedly his largest capital, as the mother of the industrial system, ang technology control "let him have full faith in the gradual expansion of the future.

The personnel of the Intelligence Department brought the situation of the officials of Taiping, Nanning, Zhen'an, and Si'en, and after Qin Kai read it carefully, he saw a familiar name on it, Zhao De, the magistrate of Jiangzhou, Zhao Liewen's nephew, and the county prince who looked like a scumbag, and the conclusion of the report of the Intelligence Department was a capable official, seeing this, he smiled slightly.

And for Feng Zicai's report is naturally the most detailed, Feng Zicai has 4 sons, and the name is quite a legacy of later generations, taking the words "Chinese prosperity", but none of his four sons have entered the office, and I don't know what Lao Feng plans to do, but Lao Feng's family is a landlord.

Lao Feng was very strict in governing the army, attacking the Taiping Army in the early years and suppressing bandits in northern Vietnam this year, which were all great gains "According to the rules of the Qing army, a large part of these gains belonged to the commander, and naturally accumulated a solid family property.

After this recovery, Feng Zicai was 65 years old, so he let his two sons Feng Xianghua,

Feng Xiangrong was with him in the army, which gave him some plans...... When he was studying the situation of this Guangxi official, the soldiers from outside came to report that the prefect had come to ask for an audience.

The prefect of the palace was thinking about how to get in touch with the new Lord Qincha of Northern Vietnam in Taiping Mansion, "But I have been thinking about it for more than a day or two, and I learned that the "Cui" word came to the army, and the favorite general of the governor of Qin, Lu Qianzong, "He didn't go to the relationship, but Lu Rate's oil and salt didn't enter, and he was busy rectifying the soldiers and horses all day long, so he didn't have a chance to say a few more words."

However, from the hands of this President Lu Qian, the prefect of the prefect can see the hearts of some Lord Qincha, this Lord Qin must also be a figure who works for the sake of burying his head, otherwise how could he have such a great achievement at such a young age, after careful calculation, he figured it out, the respect on this official face is naturally indispensable, but to let this governor leave a good image, the silver is estimated to have little effect.

Two days ago, his cousin, Tianjin Weiliu Pintong Judge Xing sent him a telegram, and the news he wanted to inquire about had been settled, so today as soon as he heard that Lord Qincha was up in the starry night, he came to ask for a meeting early in the morning.

The temporary mansion here was also arranged by him a long time ago, and at this moment, under the guidance of an officer, he looked all the way, and there was no staff in the official residence, which made him very curious, this Governor Qin heard that his background was strange, but he was a student studying abroad, and sure enough, this was a special pie. ,

It stands to reason that the Qing Dynasty's governors and the like need to be born in Jinshi and the first, however, after the rise of foreign affairs in recent years, this jīng through foreign affairs is also quite important, but this adult, who began with foreign affairs, rose in military affairs, and made great military achievements within three years, and was promoted from a supervisor to a member of the supervising side, but there is no staff in this army, and he is secretly glad that he seems to have some opportunities to climb to the top of the branch......

When he entered the house, there was a young and steady man on the top, who was looking at some excerpts of military affairs, no need to introduce, this was Qin Kai, the minister of the Qin Mission, who he had known for a long time, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down to salute ""The prefect of the Taiping Mansion is in the grave, and I will meet Lord Qincha Qin!" ”

Qin Kai naturally saw this tomb early, and in the information he got at hand, this prefect is also a major event, because it is also convenient to investigate locally, so there is a lot of news, this tomb is a jinshi in the second year of Guangxu, and he was only in his early twenties that year, which can be described as a young man, but an official like him who was born as a jinshi generally has two ways out.

One is to brag and fart in the Jingshi, hún in the ranks of the clear stream to dance the text nòng ink, the other is in the Jingshi hún for a few years, and then released, the tomb is the latter way out, when Xu Yanxu was in charge of the Taiping Mansion, this prefect was a frequent visitor on the mén, obviously used a lot of silver, and after Xu Yanxu fell, the prefect was deaf and clear-sighted, and immediately caught up with Feng Zicai.

In the matter of He Xing and Wu Jingui sending them to the Taiping Mansion to transport chā heavy and weapons, this person spared no effort to help Qin Kai smiled slightly in his heart, it seems that our Wang Ba's qi is starting to be a little small

Cheng, someone has come to speculate and drill their own way, about this person's ability, Lu Shu told himself that he is a capable official, and the information found by the Intelligence Department is quite a set of things that this adult has amassed wealth. * Seeing in person, this Luo Zhifu is short bearded and dignified, quite a bit of the appearance of the Qing official in the costume drama he saw in his previous life, which made him laugh secretly in his heart, it turns out that there is a way to accumulate money, so as to have this appearance, but in this era, the clear rules of the Qing Dynasty officialdom need to be responsible for the money bags of the subordinates for the superiors.

He beckoned from the tomb and motioned for him to sit down in a close position" and said with a slight smile: "Governor Qifu, I heard that you can worry a lot about Admiral Feng's army, if you win a great victory this time, this official will also report to the imperial court at this time and ask for credit for you!" ”

As soon as he heard that Lord Qincha came up, he praised himself, and immediately got up like a spring and said politely: "My lord, this is all a matter of humble duty, and I don't dare to take credit!" "Anyway, this one took out a gift list, it stands to reason that this thing should have been received by Qin Kai's staff, but this Qin Cha didn't have a staff member, which made him, the first gift giver, a little embarrassed, but at this time, the adult commended himself, but he took the opportunity to hand over the gift list.

Qin Kai squinted his eyes and smiled slightly, "I didn't refuse, I looked at the gift list placed next to the table, motioned for the tomb to sit down and speak, and slightly flipped over the gift list, but it was quite rich, and the real gold and silver alone were worth thousands of taels" It is placed in the Beijing Division, and it can also be put on the table, it seems that this prefect has a way to collect money, but it is not a rumor.

He has no foundation in Guangxi, and Feng Zicai is the first person he supports, there are historical reasons for this, and naturally there is a more important point, even after Feng Zicai's "Cui" character army has been rejected by the Huai Army system and placed on the border for a long time after it has become famous in the original history, and the real profit is indeed the officials of the Huai Army system.

In the future, he will inevitably have a conflict with Huai Junsheng's fundamental interests, and every strength that is united now may be able to provide a boost for himself when necessary, and between this friend and enemy, there are only eternal interests. This prefect is also from a Beijing official, and he has no background after inquiring, so I don't know if there is any value in wooing......

casually asked about the government affairs of the Taiping Mansion, and this prefect also answered like a fluent, it seems that the background of Jinshi and the first is somewhat capable!

These documents on the table, Feng Zicai came up yesterday, originally Lao Feng was the general office acting for military affairs in northern Vietnam, now that Qin Kai is here, he will naturally be transferred to deal with it, thinking of this, Qin Kai picked up a document and handed it to the tomb, "The prefect of the house, this Su Yuan chūn department said that the grain is insufficient, I don't know if it has been handled properly, will it affect the dispatch of troops in these two days?" ”

The result of the tomb was looked at the document, this is a matter under his jurisdiction, but it really has little to do with him, Su Yuan chūn is a member of the Huai army, although it is not the core team of the Huai army, but this food supply is directly supplied by the governor Yamén, I think it is the relationship between Xu Yanxu being promoted, so there have always been some problems with the supply of grain and grass, but this problem is naturally not difficult to solve. ,

He closed the paperwork, arched his hand and said: "Lord Qin, this matter can be disposed of by me, this grain should have arrived in Guilin Mansion, it is estimated that it is over there, I will transfer part of it from the granary of Taiping Mansion, and send it to General Su's camp today, to ensure that things are not missed, if the army is going to go on an expedition, this man can accompany one and escort to the front line!" ”

After hearing this, Qin Kai also nodded his satisfaction, in terms of the handling of this matter, this tomb is very compromised, and it is considered well, but this guy will definitely not come here today to give gifts...... He waited for this guy to speak.

The tomb babbled and listed the rules of the front-line food supply, and this matter was over, and then he talked about his own topic" "Lord Qin, there is two news for the next official today, I think that the adults should be interested, so I am here to tell you!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Qin Kai was indeed interested, and had a conversation with him before, it can be seen that this tomb is a smart person, since he dares to take out the news, it must have the value that he recognizes, Qin Kai nodded with a smile, and motioned for the tomb to continue.

, "Lord Qin, yesterday Zhennanguan was lost, but with the ability of adults, it must be able to be recaptured soon, but there are some small things in this, adults may wish to do it, yesterday's seriously injured Admiral Liu Yù Ke is the favorite general of Lord Cen, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, this time Guangxi is seriously injured, adults should go to visit!" After saying this, he looked up at Qin Kai in annoyance.

Qin Kai thought about it, he had a secret agreement with Cen Yuying in Yong'an, so there was a situation where the two armies went hand in hand today, this Liu Yike matter was an opportunity to promote the relationship between the two sides, and this tomb naturally would not know that he and Cen Yuying's sī were in tandem, but it was interesting to be able to think of big things from this small thing.

He nodded approvingly, "Prefect Li, I'll handle this matter in a while, where is this Admiral Liu now?" ”

"Xiaguan knows, when you are in Longzhou, the news I got yesterday that Admiral Liu was seriously injured, but the news I got should not be in danger of my life for the time being!"

Qin Kai was a little surprised when he heard this, in the history he knew, this Admiral Liu should have hung up, but now he was only seriously injured unexpectedly? However, the important thing is that he can get a relationship with Cen Yuying through Guò, Admiral Liu, and this Cen family will be a force in the future!

"What's the news?" "This news is already very good, Qin Kai is very curious about the other one, it stands to reason that the main event should be in the back! a。
