Lin Haifeng's wishful thinking can be pulled so loudly, which is completely inseparable from the close cooperation of the Manchu puppet court headed by the Empress Dowager Cixi and Wang Yixin, who are now listening to the government, as well as their general adviser Putiyatin, Ignatiev, the minister of Tsarist Russia in China, and Count Muravyov, the commander-in-chief of the Tsarist Russian Dispatch Army in China.

According to Cixi's meaning, the foreigners came, and the loyalty and righteousness to save ** also began to have, all the money that should be spent was spent, and it was spent, and she was now worried about her 20th birthday next year. This is already the case, so it is time to immediately wipe out the bandits on the north bank of the Yangtze River and quickly kill them. As long as Jinling is done, it will be done, as for Shanghai and the like, it will just be a natural thing in the future.

Putiyating looked at the map and spent a lot of words to make Her Majesty the Empress Dowager understand that things are not so simple. The rebels in Jiangbei wanted to exterminate or drive them back to Jiangnan, but it would take a while to kill them across the river. Not to mention how strong the rebels' fortresses along the Yangtze River were, it was very difficult to deal with the thousands of warships adrift on the Yangtze River alone. What's more, once the actual interests of Jiangnan, Britain, the United States, France and other countries are threatened, they will not sit idly by. Now that the French have completely fallen to the side of the rebels, the Americans and the British still maintain relations with our Qing Dynasty on the surface, but in fact they are inclined to the rebels in their bones. Under such circumstances, it is necessary to first stabilize the defense line of the Huai River and the Yellow River, and then retreat southward, and strive to use the Yangtze River as the dividing line with the rebels within the year, and temporarily recuperate for a few years.

Of course, in the past few years of cultivation, we can vigorously develop the national strength of our Qing Dynasty, build a navy and inland water division, and expand the army and horses.

Putiyatin is speaking of half-truths. With regard to the British and Americans, the Tsarist Russian officials in China have long had a meticulous private analysis. The Americans are unreliable, they only seek profit. Although the British were ostensibly showing weakness to the Tianjing regime, it was a last resort, and they were the allies who resolutely opposed the Tianjing regime. However, this ally is too greedy and always wants to take advantage of others. For the sake of the Tsar, Putiyatin had to keep the British out of the Qing Dynasty. So, although they could temporarily abandon the hostility between the two sides in the Near East, they would be at war with the British in private, in order to obtain the "precious" information they needed. But in Beijing, no matter what the occasion or opportunity, he would admonish his Qing "students" to fight less with the British, and they would eat people without spitting out bones. Naturally, he would never sue Cixi and the others, and on another battlefield, they and the British were killing each other's heads.

There is one more point, let alone Putiatin. The tsarist government had a secret plan to persuade the Manchu government in the north to negotiate with the rebels in the south after completely recovering the area north of the Yangtze River. If the empire could not help the Manchus to unify the world too soon, even if the empire could soon stop the vicious war in the Near East, it would be a great loss of vitality, and in the future power struggle, it would inevitably lose to those vicious wolves such as the British and the Americans. In any case, the longer China's civil war lasts, the greater the final benefit for the empire.

Cixi couldn't read the map, and she didn't have the heart to look at it, and one of the Qing Dynasty territories in Nuoda was actually drummed on a small piece of paper, and she felt aggrieved and panicked when she looked at her. However, she really listened to Putiyatin's reasoning. Foreigners are good, everything they say is the way, and they have a plan. And unlike the others, this advisor would always bring himself some of their Russian novelties every once in a while, and there would be little people who would come out to ring the gilded bell of dancing, and there were countless music boxes that would sing when the lid was lifted, and the perfume that Putiyatin gave her was better, and smelled so refreshing and intoxicating. She used to always look at these foreigners like barbarians, and after contacting them, she carefully tasted them, but it was not like that. Look at people, although they are not willing to bow three times and bow nine times, they are more polite and well-educated than those officials of the DPRK and China who will bow three times and bow nine times.

Cixi not only liked Putiyating's qiējianyì, but also didn't know from which day she actually fell in love with Putiyating. Whenever I see him, I will have a youthful restlessness, my face will unconsciously feverish, and my heart will beat violently. Putiyating seemed to be more pleasing to women than his younger brother-in-law, Prince Gong.

As soon as the empress dowager, who had monopoly power, agreed, the entire strategy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was determined. This is also the reason why the first loyal rescue ** was stationed in Xuzhou and not other places.

Since the second year of Jianyan in the Southern Song Dynasty, in order to defend the Jin soldiers from going south, Du Chong, the general of Tokyo, artificially broke the embankment of the Yellow River in Huazhou, causing the Yellow River to be diverted and divided into the sea from Surabaya and Jishui to the southeast. From now on, the Yellow River has changed from the north into the Bohai Sea to the south into the Yellow Sea. Before 1855, the Yellow River mainly swung in the south, although there were times when it rushed northward, but it was forcibly forced by manpower to block the south flow, and during the period when the south flow seized the Huai into the sea, the main stream of the Yellow River below Zhengzhou and above Qingkou was also uncertain. From Surabaya, or Bianshui or Whirlpool into the Huai, or from the Yingshui into the Huai, or at the same time into several branches into the Huai River. It was not until the late Ming Dynasty that the Yellow River was basically fixed after Pan Ji dominated the river, and it was in Kaifeng, Lankao, Shangqiu, Dangshan, Xuzhou, Suqian, Huaiyin, that is, the Ming and Qing dynasties, and traveled for three hundred years.

In order to stabilize the Huanghuai defense line and compete for the real initiative in northern Jiangsu and northern Anhui, Zhongyi will go south to Xuzhou and enter Hubei one after another. For a time, the land of Huanghuai gathered nearly 400,000 Manchu troops, plus various local regiments to train their arms, which can be described as a huge momentum.

On the two battlefields centered on Luzhou and Yangzhou, a big war was about to break out.

Tianjing, the supreme military headquarters of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, has been reporting urgent reports from Luzhou for several days.

Although Yang Xiuqing and Zheng Nan had carefully studied the detailed plan proposed by Lin Haifeng on organizing the Huaihai Battle and agreed to make arrangements for it, everyone couldn't help but be a little worried when the matter really came to an end.

According to reliable information from the Ministry of the Interior, if the new army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty achieved its actual combat effectiveness, it would need at least half a year of training. If they are not provoked, the Celestial Empire still has time to make perfect preparations. Now, the original strategy of Yiqiē has been changed by this Lin Haifeng's "whim", the Qing army in northern Jiangsu and northern Anhui is intensive, once there is a mistake, the main force of the Celestial Empire is in the south, and for a while, it is too late to be transferred.

Shi Dakai had just returned to Tianjing from Guangdong, and he knew better about the actual combat effectiveness of the Heavenly Army along the Yangtze River than Yang Xiuqing and Zheng Nan. In Lin Haifeng's Huaihai War plan, he claimed that he could gather 400,000 elite soldiers, but he didn't imagine it when he broke his brain, where could these elite soldiers come from? However, despite this, he still believes in Lin Haifeng. After a long period of communication and acquaintance, he believes that Lin Haifeng is not a careless person, and since he said it, maybe there will be some special way.

"Da Kai, now that you are the chief officer, let's see if you should mobilize the forces of Tianjing, and prepare to help Wei Changhui when necessary, this guy, the war hasn't started yet, just keep shouting, and it gives me a headache." Yang Xiuqing frowned, and looked at Shi Dakai, who was studying Lin Haifeng's battle plan again.

Shi Da opened the battle plan in his hand and shook his head, "Haifeng's plan is very clear, from the Jiujiang River down, all the soldiers and horses in the fortresses along the Yangtze River are transferred by him. Besides, at present, in addition to Xuanjiao's female military division, there are security forces in Tianjing City, and there is no way to move if you want to. ”

"That'...... So look at it like that? Yang Xiuqing smiled, subconsciously glanced at the northwest again, and sighed, "This Wei Changhui has been called for so long, and I don't know when it will be a stop." ”

"Since we have agreed to the entire plan of the SITC brothers, we can only resolutely follow the original plan. ordered the king of the north to defend Luzhou at any cost, and he would leave the affairs of Yangzhou alone. Shi Dakai said, walked to the open window, and looked up at the cloudy sky.

At the edge of the sky, there was a faint sound of muffled rolling thunder.

Alas, what a lot of rain this year!
