Chapter 269: Brest's Factory

He is also extremely satisfied, just socializing among businessmen, that is his strength, as for how to make decisions, he is very sober at this point, all decisions are brought back to that group of assistants to complete, this is every easy and happy rich life......

He smiled happily at Councillor Créméng, the movement of many people just now made him physically tired and comfortable, and he was in a good mood at the moment, "Dear Mr. Councillor, what good news has you brought me today?" ”

Clay méng hung a smile decorating xìng, and also warmly embraced the fat man who was full of fat smell"

Fortunately, the parliamentarian's cultivation is very good, and he is immune to the mixture of sweat, German perfume and special odor on his body, and he does not have any abnormal expression at all" "Dear Bōlo, this afternoon, the parliament is going to hold a no-confidence vote against the cabinet initiated by our [self-sponsored] coalition, and I have more than 250 votes in control, which is enough to complete the no-confidence proposal!" ”

"250? You don't have 400 members of the French Parliament, which doesn't seem very safe! Bō Luo wiped the sweat from his head, "His assistant told him that he must ensure the outcome of this matter, and it seems that he still needs to continue to add some condiments, thinking of this, he clapped his hands, and a black servant brought in an official document, "Councilor Créméng, I want to wish you in advance the beginning of control of the direction of the French Republic, this thing I just got from the officers in the Far East......"

The Kré Méng, who had just been obtained, was pleasantly surprised when he heard that the situation in the Far East had been in a fog, and some small parties in the parliament were still wavering...... Hopefully it's a small defeat!

Wait to open the briefcase" his head banged, he couldn't sit still at that time, the news was not only not small, but also a little exaggerated, this was naturally handled by the apocryphal Qin Kai, 8 percent was "true", 2 percent was made up by Qin Kai, but it was enough to shake the Bō Pangong From March 1 to March 15, more than 200,000 Qing troops in northern Vietnam fought with the French army, and the French fourth,

The 7th and 11th Brigades were completely annihilated, with more than 18,000 casualties and prisoners, Major General Bō and Major General Sailer were captured, Major General Purgan's whereabouts are unknown, and the commander of the expeditionary force, Lieutenant General Gu Ba, led the remnants of the 4th Brigade to retreat to Hanoi, which was besieged by more than 10 times the Qing army.

Seeing the names and numbers on this, Councillor Créméng's calm expression had already been thrown out of the clouds, he couldn't help but stand up, took two steps, and nervously walked to the opposite side of Bōluo, at this moment, this disgusting fat man looked a little cute, "Mr. Bōluo, this news...... Can you make sure it's accurate? The fat man was very shrewd at this time, he smiled slightly, and picked up the red wine glass in front of him.

Shaking it around his nose, he took a sharp breath of the wine in the air with great enjoyment, and then drank it all" "Dear Créméng, is the message I gave you accurate before?" You know this best! It's just that you promised to assist me in opening a factory in France......"

"Oh, this matter is already in sight, at the latest two weeks, you can get a special approval to open a factory in Brest, France, you know, the relationship between our two governments is not very harmonious, in this regard, I have taken a lot of effort!"

The fat man said with satisfaction, "Thank you so much, Councillor Créméng, I vouch for our friendship, this news is extremely reliable, and I think you should have some news to prove it!" ”

After receiving this assurance, Cré Méng Ling immediately took his leave, he urgently needed to reconfirm the news of some of the relationships he had just established, and that it would be a super giant bomb at the afternoon parliamentary meeting!

In the room behind the living room, Chen Bō, who was in charge of London affairs, nodded at Bō Luo with satisfaction after getting the news that Brest had opened a factory.

Lang Ran County, North Vietnam, which was originally just a small city with a population of only 40,000 or 50,000, was occupied by a small group of French more than a month ago, and established a puppet regime in the city.

Most of the food discarded by Pergen's Seventh Brigade in the retreat, and even valuables such as silver dollars looted were discarded, and even so, they were still discarded by Feng Zicai's, the "Extraction Army"

Chase behind the buttocks, and there are other clear ** teams on both wings, always facing the dilemma of being surrounded. ,

The retreat of Bac Ninh was also cut off, he had to retreat into this small county seat, and there was another group of mountains behind the county, the map showed that after crossing the mountains, he could reach Yong'an and Yuechi in the south, and he might be able to retreat from the waterway, but after a night, he found that he had been surrounded by regiments, and the number of Qing troops around him was several times that of himself.

The Qing army launched an attack from the early morning, and there were not many heavy weapons on both sides, and the artillery of the French army had already been lost, and the artillery of Feng Zicai and Su Yuanchun was the stuff of the French who picked it up.

The artillery bombardment lasted from morning to noon, and a large part of the already dilapidated northern city wall was blown down, and the Qing army launched repeated attacks from several gaps, and from noon to evening, the collapsed city wall was filled with the corpses of soldiers on both sides, and the control of the city was in jeopardy.

In the afternoon, the three associations Xue Chao, the four associations Ma Long, and the five who intercepted the rear road of the French army and besieged the south gate were also extremely satisfied, as long as they socialized among the merchants, that was his strength, as for how to make decisions, he was very sober at this point, and all the decisions were brought back to the group of assistants to complete, which is the life of a rich man who is so relaxed and happy......

He smiled happily at Councillor Créméng, the movement of many people just now made him physically tired and comfortable, and he was in a good mood at the moment, "Dear Mr. Councillor, what good news has you brought me today?" ”

Lang Ran County, North Vietnam, which was originally just a small city with a population of only 40,000 or 50,000, was occupied by a small group of French more than a month ago, and established a puppet regime in the city.

Most of the food discarded by Pergen's Seventh Brigade in the retreat, and even valuables such as silver dollars looted were discarded, and even so, they were still discarded by Feng Zicai's, the "Extraction Army"

Chase behind the buttocks, and there are other clear ** teams on both wings, always facing the dilemma of being surrounded.

The retreat of Bac Ninh was also cut off, he had to retreat into this small county seat, and there was another group of mountains behind the county, the map showed that after crossing the mountains, he could reach Yong'an and Yuechi in the south, and he might be able to retreat from the waterway, but after a night, he found that he had been surrounded by regiments, and the number of Qing troops around him was several times that of himself.

The Qing army launched an attack from the early morning, and there were not many heavy weapons on both sides, and the artillery of the French army had already been lost, and the artillery of Feng Zicai and Su Yuanchun was the stuff of the French who picked it up.

The artillery bombardment lasted from morning to noon, and a large part of the already dilapidated northern city wall was blown down, and the Qing army launched repeated attacks from several gaps, and from noon to evening, the collapsed city wall was filled with the corpses of soldiers on both sides, and the control of the city was in jeopardy.

In the afternoon, Xue Chao, the Ma Long Department of the Fourth Association, and Liu Yongfu of the Fifth Association, who intercepted the rear road of the French army and besieged the south gate, finally waited for the artillery battalion, and a 100mm field gun came, accompanied by 8

A mortar company of 40 mortars, after the collapse of a broken wall, the mortar commander carried out indiscriminate mortar targeted shelling behind the wall.

When the first bō death squad rushed into the siege, they were covered with rivers of blood and stumps and broken arms flying all over the sky, which really made them disgusted for a while, and the French ** team defending this side did not understand the trajectory of the mortars at all, and a large number of people hid next to the fortifications behind the city wall, and as a result, even the people and the fortifications were annihilated by artillery fire.

The street fighting was far from what he imagined, and after controlling several key roads, the French ** team, who had completely lost their command, chose to surrender "instead of dying for dignity, many people are mercenaries, and there is no need to sell their lives for the French Republic, and Major General Purgen was finally killed in the command headquarters, and he was honored to become the highest-ranking officer of the French army killed on the battlefield in northern Vietnam."

After the victory, Liu Yongfu saw the new army trained by Lord Chin Cha Sen in North Vietnam for the first time, and he was very surprised that Liu Yongfu also became a part of the guard, they had a cooperative relationship before, but it was also an old acquaintance, and the generals of the two associations were all young people.

And what surprised him even more was that the spirit of this army was definitely not trained by itself, and under the core force of the "Cuizi Army", it was far more elite than the newly formed and trained Cuizi Battalion, which could be seen from the speed of the opponent's breakthrough through the south gate.

He and Su Yuanchun blocked the north gate for a day, and they also used heavy artillery to collapse the city wall, but the French relied on some bunkers, and they rushed six or seven times in a row without success, and this guard ** was easily breaking the opponent's guard from behind, which undoubtedly reflected a considerable gap in combat effectiveness.

Feng Zicai is also a veteran who has fought big battles and experienced life and death, so he is naturally a little unconvinced, but now is not the time to care about this matter, he is very concerned about the war in the south, but when he heard that Hu ** had defeated the three brigades of the French army in the south, he didn't believe his ears at that time.

He is very clear about the combat effectiveness of the French brigade, if this rout army has not lost artillery and other heavy weapons, and he sent two troops and horses to threaten the flank of the French army, relying on the huge advantage in numbers, he forced the other party to withdraw, and the most important factor for the French ** team to escape all the way was naturally because the back road was copied "Eager to flee back to the rear, this allowed himself to pull all the way."

Unexpectedly, the guard ** could be stuck in the middle of the 4 French brigades, that is, a head-on exchange of fire with nearly 20,000 people in the three brigades, and it was the French army defeated in the field, such a result made him almost unbelievable, but, the facts were in front of him, Feng Zicai came to a few generals with questions to discuss the next move. ,

At this time, he received an urgent order from Qin Kai from the rear to recover the entire territory of northern Vietnam, and there was no need to discuss, Feng Zicai left his nephew Feng Zhaojin with 2,000 soldiers and horses to sweep the remnants of the French army around Dàng, and personally commanded the troops to rush to Hanoi, it is obvious that all the center of gravity of northern Vietnam is backlogged in this largest city on the Red River Delta plain.

Prince Yi*, Prince Shifeng, and Prince Yi* rushed to the palace early the second day to discuss in the morning, and when they saw Yi*, the Queen Mother remembered something" "Yi*, the name sent into the palace a few days ago, the family that took pictures, there seems to be some problems, Elaine said that I want to ask you to buy some things, you have to remember! ”

All women naturally cherish their faces, this Cixi entered the palace when she was a teenager, and now she has long passed her youth, after having this thing, she likes it very much, plus there is a photographer who follows all day long, and this thing has been a little bit mí recently, and after a while, Li Lianying brought a list, but it was some accessories, I think it was because the Queen Mother was too diligent in taking pictures.

Yi Li hurriedly and respectfully received the order, and the two princes were very surprised to find that this county prince was a clever man, and he had been a little despised in the past, and Yi Zhu also got a sense of satisfaction from the eyes of the two princes, and he sat in the position of the minister of affairs of various countries, which was also to have a few brush wells.

Shi Feng presented a few important excerpts, and then explained them one by one, all of which were related to Cao Yun, water conservancy, and Zongren's Mansion, Cixi naturally had no interest, so she should have listened to it like a book, and there were so many ministers, Zhang Jing, and Shang Lang to deal with, and she didn't need to bother at all.

Soon, the excerpt of the Northern Vietnamese Victory and the Zuo University Scholar were also handed over, the content of this news, Cixi naturally will not be unable to understand, originally Li Zhongtang when he was visited, but also carefully talked about the war situation in the north of Vietnam, the war began in two years, the Qing Dynasty increased troops in the north of Vietnam, in vain to consume a lot of military salaries, and it is impossible to win the French, France is thousands of miles away, even if it is defeated, it will come again.

Unexpectedly, the victory that suddenly appeared now, and it was two in a row, the Zuo scholar also expressed his views on North Vietnam, and he definitely could not withdraw his troops, and proposed to use the situation to force the French to withdraw from the Vietnamese land occupied in the past, so that these Taixi countries no longer dared to despise the authority of the Qing Dynasty.

These assertions, Zuo Zongtang has already tried his best not to anger the powerful Queen Mother, and everywhere based on the national system of the Great Qing Dynasty, hoping that the Queen Mother will postpone peace negotiations with the French, and make a decision after waiting for changes. @。
