Chapter 232 Unreliable Grand Strategy

Qin Kai's resounding answer was more impressive than introducing the war in North Vietnam, and half of the officials present at that time regretted how they had made a mistake in their brains at the beginning, and jointly wrote a letter recommending Tang Jiong and Xu Yanxu...... Qin Kai followed closely with a sentence below, which made these Qingliu officials a little embarrassed

"However, whether the North Vietnam War is won or not, in addition to the battlefield, it still cares on paper, which also requires the princes to seek benefits for the country in the court."

It is estimated that there are only seven or eight people present who understand this sentence, and that is a fact that can only be understood by a high-ranking and powerful person who has experienced the border wars on the border in recent years.

This is busy with Sun Fu, but for him, it is more joyful, everyone who is married today is quite influential, and Li Hongzao and Weng Tongsu are even more powerful.

Early the next morning, Li Hongzao sent someone to pick up Qin Kai, and when he arrived at the entrance of the Forbidden City, Li Hongzao and Weng Tongsu had already come, and they were talking to another tall and thin old man with a graceful bearing and a strict demeanor in the mén, it was Prince Gong Yixun, who had received 30,000 taels of Qin Kai a few days ago, and after seeing Qin Kai, Li Hongzao had already beckoned to him.

When he got closer, he hurriedly stepped forward and pretended to make a big salute, secretly raised his middle finger in retaliation, and said loudly: "Xiaguan meets the sixth prince"

Prince Gong smiled slightly, "Governor Qin, there is no need to be polite, the emperor will ask you about the strategy of breaking the enemy later, you have to answer carefully, don't be too hasty."

The dead old man accepted 30,000 taels from us to remind us of these two sentences, Qin Kai sneered again, but this pretending politeness was still inevitable, and the greeting that secretly raised his middle finger was naturally also offered. In the previous life and the next life, Qin Kai entered the Forbidden City for the first time, and in the previous life, he was not interested in watching it, but now it is not good to see it.

At this time, Qin Kai found out that there were seven or eight officials waiting in the entire afternoon, could it be that there were only a few in the early dynasty of the Great Qing Kingdom? But it's not easy to ask about this topic, otherwise it will inevitably fall into the mouths of officialdom idiots, fortunately, we have a light brain and a number of jù libraries, and after checking it, I realized that the Qing Dynasty did not have the so-called early dynasty on TV in later generations since Yongzheng...... Damn, we were fooled by the idiot TV series

Every day, the emperor only sees the minister of military aircraft, and he chats with a few people on a small scale, this is the situation today, the Empress Dowager of the West Palace wants to meet a few of them, and there are two officials on the other side, a half-old man Qin Kai is acquainted, the criminal department shì Lang Xu Gengshen, and the other is in his forties, I don't know.

Soon a eunuch came to lead the way in, Prince Gong Yi was a frequent visitor here, swaggering in front, passing through a few méndòng, and before coming to a palace, Qin Kai raised his eyes and looked at the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, where the deliberations of the dare to love are all here.

Thinking of being able to meet the tragic Emperor Guangxu soon, Qin Kai was a little curious, now he was just a 12-year-old doll, and he didn't know what it looked like......

Waiting inside, this hall is not small, I saw a child sitting on the magnificent dragon chair in the innermost, Qin Kai didn't look carefully, he saw several ministers kneeling down and bowing, lying in the groove he was depressed and knelt down, according to the gourd painting scoop salute, we are today's big gift, we should worship the old antiques into the soil......

Guangxu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, did not move, but there was a dead eunuch next to him who shouted in the voice of the duck male: "The queen mother's grace, give the seat"

A few people have a place at this time, leaning on the steps in front of the dragon chair to line up a few positions, Qin Kai is not at the end, the two shì lang are in his hands, he took the opportunity to arch his hand with Xu Geng, and since the other one has the opportunity to enter the palace, he doesn't know what the ruthless sè is, Qin Kai also arched his hand with a smile.

At this time, the voice of a middle-aged fùnv in the curtain behind the dragon chair sounded, "Prince Gong, what did you do yesterday?"

Prince Gong bowed sideways, "Queen Mother, Nanyang Minister and Governor of Guangdong, Qin Kai has arrived, Lord Qin said, the French are not to worry, the Qing Dynasty will definitely be able to break the enemy"

Qin Kai listened with a black line on his face, this misinterpretation is not like this, when did Lao Tzu say this, this damn Prince Gong, Devil Six, fortunately...... We have a lot of hole cards, it seems that we have to stud, thinking of this, and the original thought of the rhetoric to review.

"Governor of Qin"

As soon as the curtain moved, the middle-aged fùnv spoke again, obviously still observing himself, Qin Kai was busy learning the appearance of Prince Gong and bowing sideways, yesterday he asked Zhou Fu about the etiquette of entering the palace, and replied loudly: "The minister is here!",

"What Prince Gong said, how sure are you?"

, can you say now that it's not true that the devil is blind, Qin Kai erected countless yang fingers in his heart, and wore the thin old man's dòng hundreds of times, but his demeanor was extremely calm, "Empress Dowager Qi, this French person ignores the majesty of my Celestial Empire, it is really too deceitful, there is a queen mother in the court, and the ministers should die outside, I thought that the Qing Dynasty would be able to defeat the French, so that they would not dare to offend the prestige of our country in the future."

Qin Kai is not familiar with the Taoism in the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty, Sun Fu and Zhou Fu have already given him an idea, so don't talk nonsense, so he made up his mind before entering the palace, he will lose if he talks too much, only talk about the topic, isn't it just to clean up the mess in the north of Yue Gong Prince Gong looked for his own top cylinder, and he just took the opportunity to make more practical profits.

Anyway, now the defeat has happened, the Zhiling Fortress of the protection ** has mobilized almost all jīng Rui to participate in the defense, Zhou Ruidong has been operating the territory for two years, he still has confidence, and the result of many battles with the French, Zhou Ruidong and Xue Chao are also full of confidence in this big plan, and he has the capital to do this dealer.

Even if he fails to complete the strategic plan, as long as he waits for the Qing army to complete the change of commander and defense, and waits for the troops on the Guangxi border to be transferred to northern Vietnam, it will be a big deal for him to put Lao Feng and Feng Zicai in the position, which the French want to replicate again, is just a military defeat in history

Let alone...... Qin Kai's smile in his belly, the French Republic...... This Gallic jī is still engaged in a republic, and soon we will let Joferi, a war maniac, try our methods, and let your damn Gallic jī jump

Prince Gong listened to Qin Kai's big bag, in addition to being a little surprised, but this is also reasonable, now is a rare opportunity, who does not take this opportunity to show more in front of the Queen Mother, but this also makes him very relieved, since Qin Kai is boasting here, if he takes responsibility in the future, what the Queen Mother said in front of him will always be unreliable, and he will not be able to speak in front of the curtain.

Obviously, Cixi behind the curtain is also a little surprised, she is not confident in the war with the French, in the early years and Emperor Xianfeng fled from Beijing in a hurry to take refuge, she is unforgettable, this Taixi Chang máo is not a good person but the 10 years of development of Tongzhi Zhongxing, the Qing army armed with foreign guns and cannons, and now the Taixi countries still maintain the superficial respect for the Qing Empire, so that the queen mother is also very beautiful.

Over the years, the control of the court has also made her handy, the Huai Army, the Hunan Army, the Qingliu, and the relatives are all in the palm of her hand, in this regard, she has a lot of feelings about the Buddha in the Journey to the West, and what has always made her very dissatisfied is the decline of the status of the Eight Banners Army and the rise of the Huai Army.

And this Qin armor is a new rising force, although it seems that the strength is not obvious at present, but more importantly, this Qin armor pays more attention to the construction of the water division, and the record is good, which is compared with the Huai army that controls a land armed force of nearly half of the country, it is a Han army with a more margin of safety, just need to beat it well, it can become a force to contain the Huai army

If this Qin armor can defeat the French in northern Vietnam, then it will be a usable Zuo Jigao, after all, Zuo Zongtang is not young at this age, even if the Huai army has ideas in the future, it can be used to contain one or two, even if the war in northern Vietnam is irreparable, it is not too late to belittle this boastful Qin armor and use Li Zhongtang to deal with it......

Thinking of this, Cixi made a decision, "Qin Kai, listening to your words, it is inevitable to win this war in northern Vietnam, do you have any confidence and strategy?" ”

Qin Kai didn't understand this old nv person, and he also asked himself about the military strategy, but he was good at analyzing the war, and immediately listed and analyzed the war in northern Vietnam, made a simple comparison of the troops and weapons of the two sides, and quoted the great truth that the time and place are favorable.

At this moment, several adults in the hall had some eye-opening ideas, and even the 12-year-old little emperor on the dragon chair changed his original expression in a daze when he heard the topic of war, and listened very carefully, Cixi behind the curtain was even more surprised, and was a little more satisfied with the decision she had just made, and a military idiot like her also understood a lot of information from Qin Kai's analysis.

This is also the message that Qin Kai wants to convey, the Qing army is not inferior to the French in absolute number and morale, but it lacks some equipment, even if it is newly defeated now, it also has a great advantage in military strength, which is not outrageous at all, in history, relying on the Qing army and the Black Flag army alone also defeated the Gallic jī in the end, not to mention that there is still a guard armed to the teeth ......,

As long as the troops on the border are organized in time, even if the French occupy the important strongholds of Hanoi, Shanxi, and Bac Ninh in the North Vietnamese Plain, according to Qin Kai's statement, they will fall into the encirclement of the Qingzi Army on the Eastern Front, the Protector **, Cen Yuying's Dian Army on the Western Front, and the Guangxi Border Army in the Central Front......

Although the ministers of military aircraft present heard Qin Kai's analysis a little unreliable, but the queen mother listened to it very much, and encouraged her at the moment, naturally it was the words of "loyalty to the monarch and protection of the country", the old NV seemed to be in a good mood, and gave a few fruits and snacks, so that Qin Kai made three bows according to the rules

This made him complain Your uncle, we are now worth tens of thousands of taels of silver a day, and for these two boxes of broken dim sum, we even have to kowtow Qin Kai secretly raised his middle finger while saluting, cursing this Yehenara and Aixin Jueluo's male and female animals

The thin-faced eunuch next to the curtain came over with two boxes of dim sum and gave them to Qin Kai, suddenly, Qin Kai seemed to feel that this face seemed to be a little familiar, and he didn't have time to think about it at this time, so he took it and thanked him, after taking these two boxes of dim sum, he suddenly found that there was a little jealousy in the eyes of several adults around him......

In the following topics, Qin Kai rarely had the opportunity to participate, but it was obvious that Qin Kai's unreliable grand strategy had played a very big guiding role, from the old NV people in the curtain to the ministers of military aircraft, they all showed great confidence in victory, which made Qin Kai on the side unbelievable.

If the old NV man's military idiot feels good, it's easy to understand, it's just that there are a few big guys in this military discipline office...... However, this matter is not within his scope of consideration, and it is impossible for him to know the thoughts of these big guys, but when he left the palace, Qin Kai already had an extra holy decree in his hand, and he, the commander of the Vietnamese military affairs, became the commander of the Vietnamese military affairs.

This removes the word "protect **", and the power is more than N times, all the Qing troops in the north of Vietnam need to listen to the tune, and they can also supervise the border troops of Guangxi and Yunnan, but the last six words of the holy decree can be weighty, "must defeat the enemy and win"

And Prince Gong took over a lot of work, carefully investigating the guilt of the war officials in northern Vietnam, this is the work of covering the coffin, and it was found out that they were all guilty, and this order immediately set off a wind of impeachment in the court, and for a time the excerpt was flying.

Qin Kai naturally did not participate in this matter, and he could know the result without guessing, and those generals of the defeated army would naturally have to be disposed of, and Qingliu was not easy to say, after all, his lone seedling was still there, and he immediately sent the news to Zhou Ruidong, asking him to immediately unite with Wu Changqing's department, act with the camera, and at least achieve a small victory to support him,

However, after leaving the palace, the unknown Ministry of Works, Sun Shilang, who had just entered the palace to discuss matters, came up to talk, and Qin Kai naturally understood that the officials who could enter the palace during the morning meeting in this era were all people, and the names of the people were announced...... Well, I've really found the right person, this is the second person among the officials who are going to visit Qin Kai - Sun Yuwen.

However, this guy is very different from Lao Qingji's Yixuan County King, that one is purely full of people and nobles, this prince's style and prestige are all there, but the ability in his hands is too far behind, this Sun Shilang is not the same, the Jinshi list in the Xianfeng period has more than 20 years of officialdom experience, from the 7th grade official all the way to the current from the second grade of the real power faction.

Later generations also have a nickname for Sun Shilang - the Monkey King in the court, which does not refer to his ability, which means that he is fickle, but before he sat in a high position, this Sun Yuwen was still clear, and after the high position, the greed was completely released, but Qin Kai is a little confused now, this great sage is now at that stage.

However, after meeting, this Sun Yuwen pointed out several suspicious points in Qin Kai's so-called strategy of northern Vietnam, and it was very to the point, such as the Qingzi army, the supply of heavy supplies after the logistics of the protection ** was intercepted, etc., these are exactly the places that Qin Kai deliberately ignored in the palace, and it was really time-consuming to tell these people that logistics

However, this Sun Yuwen is the object of his interest, he naturally doesn't mind explaining one or two to him, the day before yesterday, he saw that Xu Gengshen of the Criminal Department, isn't he also very interested in these new news, and after receiving a respect, this guy immediately looked like he took Qin Kai as a confidant, and then left very happily.

The next two days are the chūn festival, Qin Kai took Sun Fu, under the introduction of Zhou Fu, visited a large number of officials in the court, these are naturally officials who are close to the Huai army, after this side knock, Sun Fu and Pan Bosheng, who accompanied him, carefully wrote down some officials who could be used, and prepared to carefully manage this network, and Qin Kai had the silver in hand, and went out like flowing water. ,

It wasn't until the first day of the new year that he had time to spare, and immediately sent someone to invite Huang Zunxian, who also lived alone in the capital, to come over for a gathering.

Huang Zunxian came to the capital alone to wait for the order of the military aircraft department, but now at this time, the Yamén can rest all day, he was originally idle, and he also went to the Yamén to ask, even if it is Zhang Jing, who is on duty as an officer of the week, it is only about major matters, and the matter of jīmáo garlic skin for such personnel transfers will be talked about after the Lantern Festival

That day, I saw the governor of Qin, who was praised by a famous general in Japan, and said that he wanted to see the manuscript of this "National Chronicles of Japan", although Huang Zunxian was a few years older than Qin Kai, but the two of them had too many differences in official status, so they naturally did not dare to slack off.

At this time, there were two well-dressed soldiers outside, and when he heard that the Minister of Nanyang had invited him over on the first day of the new year, he was pleasantly surprised and immediately cleaned up the manuscript, and followed the two out of Mén.

Under careful questioning, these two soldiers were not from the common peasant backgrounds in the Qing army, they were both children of big families, and one of them had a fairly solid family background, and the other was also a well-off family.

After talking casually, these two pro-soldiers turned out to be open-minded and extraordinary, both of them said that they were just student soldiers who graduated from Mawei School and had participated in the Ryukyu War, which was definitely a good topic for Huang Zunxian, who had just returned from the position of counselor in Japan.

When he arrived at the house where Governor Qin temporarily lived, Huang Zunxian's first impression was that this Governor Qin should be a poor person, such an elegant yard and house, the furnishings were so rough, after meeting, this topic naturally started from the "National Chronicles of Japan" he was writing, and when it came to his strengths, he naturally talked about it, but when it came to sensitive topics, he naturally understated it.
