Chapter 976: Frank's Worries

Jinping Jiangcheng has never been stationed in the army, although it is the border, but the Dai people gathered, although the Manchu Qing Dynasty suppressed the Han people seriously, but to other ethnic minorities, it is still very tolerant, here are basically Tusi and court officials management.

Frank never dreamed that Qing Guo would actually mobilize troops into these two places this time.

Frank was not afraid of the Qing army, he was worried about the two corps of Liu Jun stationed in Guangxi in Liaodong.

After the two Guangxi returned to Liu Jun, Liu Jun first stationed a corps here, and later, when relations between the Qing State and Liaodong were tense, Liu Jun again formed a new corps in Guangxi and stationed it near Qinzhou.

It is clear that such a deployment in Liaodong is not aimed at the imperial court, but at the formation.

In view of this situation. At that time, he convened an emergency meeting and transferred the French 3rd Brigade in the port to Lang Son to defend the 13th Army of Guangxi stationed in Zhennan Pass and Liaodong.

Now, John actually let himself mobilize the Third Brigade to the Yunnan border, which is not to open up all the Langshan area to Liu Jun. What kind of person is Liu Jun, that is a war devil, all these years, he has not stopped in Asia, fighting Outer Mongolia and Japan. It's a lot of trouble.

"No, the first army of the Liaodong Army is in Zhennanguan, if we transfer the third brigade to Yunnan, then what about Langshan? Don't you know Liu Jun's character? Frank sat down on the couch at once. looked at John standing in front of him with a dissatisfied face.

This one. Although John doesn't know anything about military affairs, there is one thing that John still knows very well, that is, Liu Jun loves to take advantage and is a master who does not like to suffer.

"So what do we do now? The Qing army stationed a division of troops on the border of Yunnan, if we do not make any adjustments. When the time comes? John said this, stepping aside and opening the window.

Frank knew what John meant, but now, he really didn't have any options, and his troops were simply not enough.

Of course, there are more than 100,000 troops on the Vietnamese side, but these troops do not have the same heart as themselves at all, and they disobey their own orders; just the year before last, the Vietnamese troops in Hanoi actually rebelled, and if they had not urgently mobilized the surrounding troops to suppress it, I am afraid that they would no longer be here now.

"Send a telegram to Paris, ask for reinforcements, we are threatened by the Qing State." After speaking, Frank thought about it again and said again: "Add a word, and Liaodong." ”

With just a Qing country, France will definitely not mobilize reinforcements, but if it is said that there is Liaodong, then the situation is very different.

In the Renshou Hall of the Summer Palace, Liu Jun raised his hand and put the telegram in his hand on the table, and after looking at Zhong Lin standing in front of him, he took a sip of the tea next to him and said: "The imperial court was played too much by the French this time, and it actually allowed Cixi to let someone who could bear it break out, and he was willing to spend a lot of money to mobilize a town plus a concord into Yunnan at one time." ”

The telegram on Liu Jun's desk had been sent two hours earlier, and it was a telegram from Chengdu and Kunming respectively, and the telegram showed that a town of the Qing army stationed in Kunming had already left for Jinping and Jiangcheng, and that Ding Zhenfeng, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, had personally arrived in Jiangcheng, and that an association in Liupanshui, Guiyang, had also begun to be transferred in the Qujing generation, all of which showed that the imperial court was going to fight against France.

"The imperial court's approach this time is understandable, they were played so hard by the French, Guangxu was played to death in Chengdu, it is strange that Cixi can endure this evil breath in her heart." Zheng Yiqian, who was on the side, picked up the telegram and looked at it and said.

That's right, the imperial court can really understand this time, Liu Jun thought of this, and then stood up, he was going to go to the War Department to take a look, Guangxi and Vietnam, before leaving, Liu Jun saw a person walking in outside, it was someone from the Zhonglin Intelligence Bureau.

After this person came in, he directly handed Zhong Lin a telegram in his hand, and then turned around and walked out.

What's the situation, seeing that Zhong Lin finished reading the telegram and didn't speak, Liu Jun asked suspiciously.

Zhong Lin folded the telegram, handed it to Liu Jun, and said, "Head, Frank sent a telegram to France an hour ago. ”

sent a telegram, hearing this, Liu Jun immediately frowned and thought for a moment, and then asked Zhong Lin in front of him: "Has the telegram been deciphered?" “

"Not at the moment. The French changed the new cipher a month ago, and at the moment our intelligence system is deciphering it and has not received anything. ”

There is no content, so what does it mean that France sent a telegram to Paris at this time.

"Could it be that Paris will inform you of the situation here?" Zheng Yiqian on the side thought for a while and said,

It's possible, but I can't be sure. However, judging from the inference of this period of time, Frank should have reported the situation here.

"Zhong Lin, you tell the telegraph bureau to decipher the telegram as quickly as possible."

"Understood." Zhong Lin answered, then turned around and walked out, and when Zhong Lin went out, Zheng Yiqian came to Liu Jun, and after looking at Liu Jun in front of him, Zheng Yiqian asked a very serious question, that is, once the imperial court and France went to war, how should Guangxi deal with it.

This is indeed a big problem, hearing Zheng Yiqian ask this question, Liu Jun suddenly lowered his head and began to ponder.

Let's be honest. Liu Jun did not want the imperial court to go to war with France this time. Where is the strength of the imperial court, it is not an opponent of France at all, and if there is a war, the situation on the southwestern front will be even more unstable. This will be more difficult for him to attack the southwest and unify China, however, he has to be prepared. Prevent this from happening.

"We and the imperial court have always been opponents, but in terms of external affairs, you know, I have always supported unity, if the imperial court goes to war with France this time, we can only support it secretly, and we can't fall out with France, after all, we have more important plans to do." Liu Jun, who thought about it for a while, said.

In other words, now we can't go to war with France, after understanding Liu Jun's words, Zheng Yiqian thought about it again, and then said again: "Look, do you want Zhong Lin's Kunming station to contact Ding Zhenfeng?" ”

Ding Zhenfeng, Ding Zhenfeng is the governor of Yungui in the imperial court, if there is a war this time, it must be that he is in command, and it is okay to contact him, but in Liu Jun's heart, he still hopes that this war will not break out. Where is the strength of the imperial court, and even itself, which is not completely prepared. (To be continued.) )
