In just half a day, the French army took the city of Guangzhou without bloodshed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When Dundas, Mozak and others entered the governor's yamen, it was the time to hold the lantern.

Mozak leaned down on the Spring and Autumn chair in the middle, and laughed proudly: "General Dundas, I can't imagine that a few years have passed, China has become even more unbearable, just half a day, Guangzhou City has been captured by us, these garbage Chinese troops are so idiotic, they still use the cannons of two hundred years ago to fight us, hahaha......"

Dundas was a little upset, why? Because Mozak let them enter the city of Guangzhou, but did not agree to the English and Spanish troops to enter the city of Guangzhou, it is obvious that he wants to monopolize the city of Guangzhou, and in the future, I am afraid that the city of Guangzhou will be the backyard of France! I was put on a stand by the special Mozak!

However, the war has just begun, and the two sides cannot friction because of this little thing, and the big war in the future, but France will not be allowed to take the lead, and it is the turn of our British Imperial Navy to show its majesty!

"That's right, that's how we went all the way to Beijing! Hmph, this time we must let the Qing government bleed hard! ”

Dundas gritted his teeth and said: "First Guangzhou, then Fuzhou, Shanghai, Qingdao, and finally Tianjin, and then land from Tianjin and go all the way to Beijing!" We are going to plunder the richest places in China! ”

"Shanghai? Forget about Shanghai, it is now a concession of European countries, interests are entangled, intertwined, and if you don't do it, you will hurt yourself, you can't do it, but you can do it elsewhere! ”

Mozak replied.

"Two, let's plan how to attack Beijing City!"

The commander of the Spanish fleet on the side, Morenster, said with a smile, "Beijing City is not Guangzhou City after all, China has an army, and the location around Gyeonggi is important, and there will definitely be heavy guards, so it is not so easy for us to storm Tianjin......"

Dundas's face was straight, and he nodded: "General Morenster is right, Beijing City can gather about 100,000 troops in a month, and its strength should not be underestimated, if we want to capture Beijing City as soon as possible and force the Qing government to sign a treaty, we need to come up with some means!" ”

Mozak smiled and said, "General Dundas, I would like to hear about it!" ”

Dundas said in a deep voice: "It's very simple, now that Guangzhou City has been in the bag, next, we will take Fuzhou, the two big cities in the south fall into our control, it will definitely cause panic in the Qing government, we will take advantage of the situation to put pressure on the Qing government again, asking them to accept the conditions, if they don't accept it, then they will no longer be given a chance, the whole fleet will go north at full speed, meet with the Japanese army in the East China Sea, and then divide the troops into two routes, all the way to Tianjin, all the way to attack Weihaiwei, from Weihai landing, Now that the whole of Shandong is said to be extremely rich, much stronger than Jiangsu and Zhejiang, I will go all the way north from Weihai to attack the flank of Tianjin City, and attack Tianjin City by land and water, Tianjin City will definitely not be able to be saved! ”

Mozark nodded with Morens, Dundas's opinion is still very reasonable, divide the troops to attack, if you can directly break through Tianjin, it is better, then it will be less than two hundred kilometers away from Beijing City, if you can't take Tianjin, then land from Weihaiwei, take a detour, solve the defense of Tianjin, and after the division, besiege Beijing City.

"General Dundas, how about I continue to fight this battle? The little Weihaiwei is not worthy of the navy of the British Empire......"

Morenster volunteered to fight.

"General Morenster, let's continue to have our French army, your country's naval artillery is a little insufficient......"

Mozak teased.

"Hmph, Mozak, do you have enough troops? You know, what is Shandong, that is Guo Ye's lair, the Tongzhou War of the year, you should know, Guo Ye is a real war genius, the entire Shandong is now stationed in Guo Ye's descendant army of more than 10,000 people, the combat power is so strong, it is close to the European army, and Weihaiwei has been built into a military port, although there is no fleet, but Weihaiwei's battery artillery group, that is not covered, at least there are 100 artillery, there are really a lot of artillery on the warships of your two families? Don't speculate when the time comes......"

Dundas's face was calm and he replied disdainfully.

Mozark and Molenst's faces turned red, and the little Jiujiu in his heart was seen through by Dundas, who knows that Shandong is a piece of fatty meat, and if you bite it, your mouth will be full of oil, but this piece of meat is not easy to gnaw, Guo Ye's descendant army is there, even if they don't know the domestic war, they also know the civil war in the United States, Guo Ye's Sixth Army of the Federal Army, which was trained by Guo Ye, has never suffered a defeat, and the Confederate army with the British and French military advisory group has been defeated again and again, which is really majestic. The Sixth Legion is so powerful, not to mention Guo Ye's descendant army?

Now Weihaiwei is only afraid that the defense force is not under Tianjin, and if he wants to take Weihaiwei, whether it is the French or the Spaniards, there is no certainty of victory, and he will be bitten upside down!

Dundas said lightly: "Okay, you two should concentrate on attacking Tianjin, where at least there is no Guo Ye's descendant strength, it should be enough, I will take the Japanese to take Weihaiwei, and then rush to Tianjin to join you." If you have the ability, you can capture Beijing before we arrive in Beijing, and then the entire palace can be plundered by you......"

Mozark and Morenster looked at each other and nodded in agreement. This division of labor is also fair and reasonable, but the French and Western armies do not have the strength to win, it is better to be safe, since Dundas is willing to pick hard bones, it is up to him.

The fleet only stayed in Guangzhou for one day, and Mozark left hundreds of French troops in the town, and continued north with Dundas and Morenst, approaching Fuzhou!

Now sitting in Fujian is the famous Zuo Zongtang, Zuo Zongtang has already received a telegram from Zhang Chunping, received the news of Zuo Zongtang, shocked in his heart, more than half a month, constantly transfer troops, whether it is Fujian or Zhejiang, the enemy's first point of attack, is not Fuzhou, is Xiamen, however, the city of Xiamen is not big after all, as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Fuzhou is the first metropolis in Fujian, also adjacent to the East China Sea, naturally the first target.

Zuo Zongtang, who did not dare to be careless, mobilized all the elite soldiers and strong generals of his Chu army to the vicinity of Fuzhou, and deployed three artillery battalions in Fuzhou in one go, in addition, he also concentrated fifteen of the most elite infantry battalions, with a total strength of nearly 10,000 people, trying to defend Fuzhou to the death.
