The first to complete the siege of Hanoi was the army of nearly 7,000 troops of the 4th Brigade of the French Expeditionary Force led by Major General Po Slip, including a 2,000-strong Vietnamese indigenous battalion and a 1,500-strong Algerian black battalion.

And several Qing troops stationed in Hanoi also received orders from Wu Changqing, who was fighting on the eastern front, to defend Hanoi and retreat without authorization.

The next day, Wu Changqing personally led the headquarters to cross the Red River into Hanoi, around the north of the city Fengshan Village to carry out emergency deployment, he personally ordered his nephew general Wu Dong to lead the 4th battalion of elite troops to control Fengshan Village, a strategic point in the north of the city, and urgently transferred 2,000 people from Wang Ze, a general of the Guangdong army, to the left side of Fengshan Village to deploy, and the right flank was 3,000 people led by Cheng Jian, a general of the Gui army, and three troops and horses formed a horn formation.

Fengshan Village is only 1 mile away from the north gate of Hanoi, Hanoi's reinforcements can attack at any time, after the completion of the defense, several soldiers and horses have recruited a large number of people to fight all night and dig fortifications, and the French in the front after the setback, but did not immediately put into the follow-up attack, Bo Slip from the Vietnamese side of the general understanding of the Hanoi garrison, but also found that the attack on the Qing army of full defense, just with this army seems to be a little difficult.

In the stalemate between the two sides, the only thing that could be done was to set up field artillery to bombard each other, and the two batteries built by the Qingzi army on the Red River also had a skirmish with the French warships.

This time, the batteries of the Qingzi Army were no longer the improvised batteries of the previous battle, the artillery was hidden in bunkers, and after the two sides exchanged fire within range, the wooden river gunboats of the French were obviously not as strong as the batteries, and after one of the paddle gunboats "Hurricane" was injured, the French also temporarily stopped the idea of breaking through the Red River.

The two small victories also restored some courage to the originally demoralized Qing army, and soon, in the midst of the standoff, a huge position was formed outside the north gate of Hanoi.

The position of Fengshan Village is a large arc from the appearance, the right side of the position is a Buddhist temple, the middle is the river embankment that stretches out parallel to the mouth of Fengshan Village, and the left side is a rice field, only the intersection between the river embankment and the big Buddha temple can enter the village, so there are the most fortifications here.

The front battalion of the Cantonese army on the left flank defended the big Buddha temple surrounded by bamboo forests to cover the flank of the front battalion, and the Gui army on the right flank relied on the fortifications built on a high ground to defend the avenue to Hanoi, and the French attacked Hanoi from the front, and they had to break through from the three positions.

It seems that the impeccable defense of the position, and the support of Hanoi City behind it, seem to have built an extremely effective defensive posture, but there are some strange phenomena in it that people cannot understand

The French Concession in Hanoi City has been operating normally from beginning to end, and although it is only a street away from a large number of Qing troops and Vietnamese indigenous troops stationed in Hanoi, the two sides have always maintained a very delicate relationship, the Qing Army only sent some soldiers to patrol back and forth, while the French did not come and go at will for their own safety, but the Vietnamese were moving around the concession and Hanoi at will.

In front of the fact that the Vietnamese and the French in the city were eye-to-eye, Wu Changqing had already received a report from Yuan Shikai, and the first thing he did after entering Hanoi was to send people to surround the French Concession, but he was a little difficult to deal with the Vietnamese garrison...... So for the time being, we just need to strengthen our vigilance

At this time, in the French ** battalion near the new bridge to the north, Major General Bo Hua was carefully analyzing the combat strength of the Qing army on the opposite side in front of the map, and the banners and establishments of the Qing army units on the map were clearly marked.

The number of Qing troops defending on the opposite side is more than 20,000, which is definitely a terrible number, and the total strength of the fourth brigade is only 7,000 people, in this case it is obviously very difficult to capture Hanoi, but the slippery look seems to be very relaxed, if it is the army that marks the Qing character to defend this Hanoi, it may be difficult to take this fortified city.

But now in addition to the Qingzi army in the city, there are several defeated troops who fought with him some time ago, and there are a large number of Vietnamese indigenous soldiers and horses in the city, so the situation has changed greatly, not to mention that General Guba has other tactical arrangements......

Xuwen County, the capital of Leizhou, is the eastern starting point of the famous Maritime Silk Road, but it is ...... That's the old Huang calendar, now Xuwen County, in addition to some seafood business, not even a decent port, here across the sea is the Qiongzhou Island, but now there is only the southern scenery, but there is no possibility of tourism.

The biggest industry in Xuwen County is local fruits and rice, in addition, there is the world-famous Nanzhu, but that thing, the fishermen by the sea may not be able to have a few good things a year A piece of old mansion in the east of the city that looks like some years, but this door will always be a doorway, this is the real boss Pei family in Xuwen County.

When the old and young people in the city heard the word "Pei family", their expressions were a little respectful, fifty percent of the industries in Xu Wen City were related to the Pei family, and the remaining fifty percent of the industries were almost certainly unprofitable transactions.

The history of the Pei family in Xuwen County can be traced back to 7 generations ago, in their family's grandparents were also big officials, and the official went to the political secretary of Guangdong Sanpin, and then the Pei family began to prosper.

Today, in the ancestral hall of the Pei family, there are no less than twenty people sitting, Pei Sheng's current home Pei Sheng sits in the middle, he is in his thirties, his face is fair, but he is dressed as a scholar, and there are six elders of different ages sitting next to him, and it seems that the age should be Pei Sheng's uncle and the like.

And here are more than a dozen shopkeeper-like people, all sitting upright at this time, if outsiders see it, they will be surprised, these shopkeepers are all big names in Xuwen County, and no one controls this industry.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Pei Sheng arched his hand towards an old man on the left, "Second uncle, our Pei family is facing an important decision this time, so I asked all the uncles to come out to discuss it today, and I also called the shopkeeper who is in charge below, if there is no problem, make a decision."

The old man nodded, "Pei Sheng, but for the industrial and commercial tax order and agricultural persuasion order just promulgated by the county government?" ”

"Second uncle, it is this matter, our family's industry, you also know, the profitable business in Xuwen County is basically in our Pei family, but if this industrial and commercial tax order is implemented, the county will not be charged, and if the goods in other counties are cheaper than ours, it will naturally affect our trading."

Another old man next to him asked, "Pei Sheng, have you ever inquired about the origin of this new magistrate and county?" I've heard that they are all young scholars, and this kind of means is not like what these young people can do, if they don't collect money, what will they rely on to eat? ”

"Fourth uncle, I sent someone to inquire carefully, and I went to Leizhou Mansion to make money before I got some news from a few officials who knew each other, and the people who were put down as officials here are all protégés of the current governor, which can not be blamed, so I am in a hurry to come back to discuss this matter, people have no foresight, and there must be near-term worries, this time the movement is very big, I can hear the news here, Wang Laohu in the Lijin Bureau has been arrested, saying that he is greedy for ink and money."

"Wang Laohu" Pei Sheng's second uncle Pei Xun stroked his beard, and suddenly smiled, "This Wang Laohu should have died a long time ago, he has been at ease in the position of the Lijin Bureau for more than 10 years, I didn't expect to meet the killing star now, it seems that this county master has some meaning to do practical things"

"Second uncle, what do you mean? Should we take the initiative to go to the yamen to discuss this matter with the newly arrived Ma County Commander? ”

"This matter should not be rushed, since we are the protégé of the governor, we naturally want to sell some face, we might as well change the ** banquet Ma County Order, we naturally fully support the implementation of the new policy in Xu Wen, of course, this yamen naturally has to give our Pei family some benefits."

Pei Lu said solemnly, and the other elders nodded in approval. One of the shopkeepers below suddenly stretched out his hand to speak, and Pei Sheng, who was contemplating, naturally knew that this was his cousin Pei Zheng, who was also a business talent, and now it was a big help for himself.

"Pei Zheng, what do you have to say, don't send it, and let a few uncles give them an idea" The opinions of these uncles are actually a little different from what Pei Sheng thinks, but even if he is the current head of the family, if he wants to make important decisions for the entire Pei family, these elders still need to be recognized, and this Pei Zheng is a spare chess piece that he has laid out.

"Big brother, what the uncles said is naturally true, this is that the uncles don't know the changes in Leizhou Mansion now, I didn't know it originally, this is a coincidence, I met a personal entourage of Ma County Ling in the restaurant, so I got some news, and then I knew that the foreign cloth in our tailor shop is simply produced in Guangzhou, and these industries are presided over by the current governor of Qin",

"This government-run weaving factory, that's also very normal" Pei Xun can be regarded as well-informed, and quickly raised doubts.

"Second uncle, that's wrong, this is not a government-run weaving factory, it's all run by the merchants themselves, I heard the entourage say, as long as you join the Textile Association, you can get the right to run a weaving shop from Governor Qin."

"How much silver does it cost to be able to afford a factory? The Pei family can't take out such a big shadow" Pei Xun was obviously dissatisfied with his cousin's proposal, and directly denied this proposal, what the Pei family needs is a stable dìng...... Very stable dìng to survive.

He naturally understands the profits of this foreign cloth, but although his own industries are quite profitable now, with the strength of the Pei family, he wants to take out hundreds of thousands of taels to invest in a new industry, and the Pei family has more than 200 people, large and small, so he has to take risks

Pei Sheng was also a little unhappy when he saw that his second uncle had simply vetoed his own proposal, and he immediately set his eyes on several other uncles, who were all closing their eyes and pondering at this time.

Obviously, what Pei Zheng said just now was not clear enough, so he said: "Uncle Uncles, although this industrial and commercial tax order will allow the specialties of other counties to enter our Xuwen County, if we can weave cotton cloth, then the cotton cloth business in the surrounding prefectures and counties will be done by us, what a big deal."

This idea was obviously more tempting, and after some discussion, Pei Sheng's opinion was only supported by two uncles, which was obviously not enough to use the Pei family's industry to invest in the industry promulgated by the new policy......

In the Yali of Xuwen County, Ma Chen, the magistrate of the county who has only been in office for more than three months, is discussing matters in the house, there are only four young people in the house, two of them are wearing military uniforms, one is Qin Kai's personal captain Luo Yan, the other is Ouyang Qing's subordinate Lu Hua, and the other is wearing official robes, but it is Duan Rui of the county and county, both of them are graduates of the Mawei Hou School, and after temporarily emerging in the Mawei system, they were arranged to their current positions.

At this time, what they are talking about is precisely the Pei family, a big family in this county, to start an industry in Xuwen County, which naturally requires the participation of powerful people in the local area, after all, they now represent the Nanyang system, and it is impossible to interfere too much in local affairs, more to guide.

This time, the establishment of the Industrial and Commercial Taxation Bureau in Leizhou and the abolition of the original Lijin Bureau were a major event, and the governor explained that he should make every effort to cultivate his own strength in the locality.

"This Pei family is quite famous in Xuwen County, and the industry at hand stands in almost half of the county, but according to our investigation, the main way for their family to make money is not industry, but their Pei family's land, which is the fertile land around Xuwen, their Pei family accounts for 7 percent...... In addition, the Pei family's bullying and dominating the market, and forcing buyers and sellers have also been investigated...... Also, it is Pei Jian, the younger brother of Pei Sheng, the head of the Pei family, who has just enrolled in Guangzhou Higher Education Hall this year. Lu Hua, who was in charge of intelligence, introduced the situation.

"Senior Lu has worked hard", Ma Chen, the magistrate of Xuwen County, just graduated from Mawei School the year before last, and Lu Hua was a year earlier than him, but they are used to calling each other not measured by their official positions, they all know in their hearts that they have the dream of creating a strong China in their hearts, and before coming to Xuwen County, it is only the first step of this dream.

Ma Chen is now the official position of Zhengqipin, and Lu Hua, who joined the student army earlier than him, is still a small captain in the army, but there is no such idea of respect and humility between them, in their opinion, they have each found their own position, and they are working hard for the incomparably exciting dream that they learned in the Mawei Academy, and Instructor Qin is undoubtedly the leader who leads him to sprint.
