Chapter 227: Declaration of War

The strong sign was handed in, and it was immediately called, and it was a unique pair. Since Ganglie joined the military plane, he has been called together with others, and there is always Han Rong on his head, and he always feels that he is being suppressed, his ambitions are difficult to express, and his heart is uneven.

Today, when I express my chest, I have a feeling of raising my eyebrows. Thinking about Li Laizhong's words to him on the way, he silently recited it a few times in his heart to ensure that the word was good. Thinking that this time the great merit of correcting and dispelling evil fell on him, and he would definitely be famous in history in the future, and the whole person became extremely excited.

Cixi's face was very ugly, his eyes were cold, and his liver was extremely hot. first asked a few words about what he had seen and heard in Yizhou, and then asked in a cold voice: "Ganglie, you have done a lot of foolish things in the past, and I will not pursue you if you are a loyal minion." But if you ask you today, if you have half a lie, I want the heads of your whole family! ”

"Lafayette Mingjian, you are kind to the minion, and the minion will never dare to deceive the Buddha."

"Okay, tell me, is this Flying Tiger Regiment available or not?"

In the past, Ganglie recited white characters and made countless jokes, but today, his mind is exceptionally clear, his state is surprisingly good, and his speech and thoughts are also very clear.

"Galeries Lafayette, it's not that the Flying Tigers are available or not, but how to use them. Although his technique may not be true, his heart is not false. The people's morale cannot be violated, and the people's hearts must not be broken. China's equipment is not as good as that of foreigners, its strength is not as good as that of foreigners, and its combat skills are not as good as that of foreigners. Those who can rely on it are just the people's hearts. If we even lose the hearts of the people, then there is nothing to fear, the country will not be a country, the ancestral foundation, it is difficult to preserve, I hope Lafayette will see it! ”

Seeing that he took off the crown on his head, knelt there and kowtowed vigorously, Cixi waved his hand, "That's it, I also understand what you said." But they made too much noise, and the foreigners sent documents protesting one after another, and the rhetoric became more and more fierce day by day. What if you anger foreigners and cause military trouble? ”

She thought that Ganglie had just entered the capital and did not know the situation, and if she asked him, she would be able to get the truth. But he didn't know that Ganglie had already made contact with the Flying Tiger Regiment, and knew that Cixi had received a telegram yesterday, which was sent in the name of Suzhou Daoluo Jiajie, who was sitting in Songjiang. It is said that all countries will work together to seek China, and it has been decided to put forward four conditions to China: first, the power will be returned to the emperor, and the empress dowager's training will be immediately ended; Second, issue an edict to suppress boxing bandits, and all countries are willing to send troops to help; Third, the number of troops to be trained by the Chinese imperial court must be agreed by each country, and foreigners should be hired as instructors; Fourth, all the tax revenues of the imperial court must be supervised by foreigners and their use controlled.

Once these four conditions were agreed, the Jin State would die without a fight, and especially the end of the discipline and government was the most infuriating and merciful, and even did not hesitate to fight a decisive battle with other countries for this reason. Ganglie knew that the content of this telegram was not from Luo Jiajie, but a forgery, but a scam jointly done by Li Laizhong, the military advisor next to Dong Wuxing, to buy off Wang Jixun, a friend of Han Rong's side who was in charge of the telegram, and the manipulator behind it was Duanwang.

But firstly, he wanted to take refuge in the future Emperor Duanwang, secondly, even if this matter was revealed in the future, it would be the political enemy Han Rong who would suffer, and thirdly, he was also worried that the Wuwei Rear Army and the Flying Tiger Regiment would retaliate and rob his pawnshop. Therefore, he did not reveal it, but said according to Li Laizhong's instructions: "Lafayette, you don't have to worry, foreigners may not dare to use force, if they do, we are not afraid." Now is not the time for Goryeo, let's do it, we can win. ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? At the beginning, we were in Goryeo, against a small country in Fuso, and we could not win, but now we are at war with so many countries, how can we win? Could it be that you are also saying that you have to rely on the supernatural powers of the Flying Tiger Regiment? Or do you have the same opinion as Xu Yuru, thinking that foreigners have a total of two countries, and the other countries are all made up to deceive people? ”

Ganglie thought about Li Laizhong's words, this set of words has been memorized on the road, and it just plays a role at this time, and he replied unhurriedly at the moment: "Back to Lafayette's words, the slave also knows that it is not easy to fight the world with a weak country." It's just that the situation today is different from that of Goryeo. When the war broke out in Goryeo that day, Chao Nei Weng Fangtian and Zhang Shaoquan lost peace, restrained each other, and restrained each other, so that the cannibalism could not be concentrated, and the three points had been lost before the battle, which was a loss of peace. The place of war is in Goryeo, not in our own land, and the people and land are both living on the land, and the food and salary are not enough, which is a loss of geographical advantage. And at that time, the soldiers used were all Huai army, far away from home, fighting in Goryeo, homesickness and refusal to serve, and the generals were unusable, so they were invincible. As for Fusang, it is a ruin, fighting against the water, and having a desperate heart. The defeat of Goryeo also arose because of this. ”

"And now?"

"Now otherwise, Lafayette is training the government again, all the people are jubilant and united, the army and the people are working together, and the people's hearts are on our side. Besides, we are going to fight, and we are going to fight on the land of Daikin. People and land are familiar with each other, and they occupy the geographical advantage and people. Besides, this time we are fighting, one is to use the Armed Guards, the second is the Tiger God Battalion, and the third is the Flying Tiger Regiment. Those people and foreigners are mortal enemies, and they have to fight hard when they meet, and they can't retreat at all. One man is desperate, ten thousand people are difficult to beat, the foreigners are elders, it is a naval army, we put them on land to fight, so that the enemy is long and short, this is our first opportunity. ”

His sentence of Lafayette's admonition can be regarded as a point of mercy, but the latter will not make a decision easily on such a big issue, but ponder for a moment, "Giving up water to land is not necessarily a good thing, when the coalition army broke the capital, the monk king thought about putting the foreigners on the ground to fight, and as a result, Bali Bridge suffered a big loss." The Heilongjiang horse team was defeated and annihilated, which is a lesson from the past. ”

"Lafayette Shengming, the monk did have this mistake back then, but at that time, the monk king's soldiers were not more than foreigners, and foreigners had foreign guns and cannons in their hands. Moreover, the slave said that the sin deserved death, and the Heilongjiang horse team at that time was not the horse team of the ancestors. We now have guns and cannons, and our weapons are no worse than those of foreigners. There are more centaurs than foreigners, as long as the battlefield is chosen, first bombard him with guns, and then use the Flying Tiger Regiment to go into battle, ten kinds of spells, only one of them can be effective, and the foreigners can be killed. Even if the spells don't work, there is still a military guard, although Dong Wuxing is arrogant, but in the northwest, he has really seen a battle with foreigners, and his soldiers are definitely not afraid of foreign soldiers. The minions dare to guarantee that today's battle is by no means the same as the Bali Bridge. ”

"There is also three points of truth in what you say, but so many countries, can you win the war just by relying on your reasoning?"

Ganglie said: "Lafayette, although the slaves are not on duty in the affairs yamen, they also read Western newsprint, and they know a little about the situation in their country. The Taixi powers are not monolithic, and the minions dare to say that their hearts will never be aligned. ”

Cixi sighed, and seemed to be interested, and asked, "What kind of words are these, you can tell me in detail." ”

"Back to Lafayette's words, the affairs of the Taixi people are written on newsprint, and the military information is difficult to keep secret, so it is easy to be heard. The vassals of the Albionite, called the Boers, revolted. The situation is similar to that of our dynasty in pacifying the Great and Small Jinchuan, and the forces of the Albians are mainly in the pacification of the vassals, and they cannot draw many troops and horses to invade our territory. And for the sake of this vassal, they were at odds with Prussia, and there was a dispute between the two foreigners. The Yankees, because of the Little Luzon Rebellion, used force here. There is a dense jungle and miasma, just like Yunnan in China. The soldiers were not accustomed to the water and soil, and fell before the battle, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser within three to five years. The other nations are either far away, or they cannot draw large troops in their own countries, and they are called great powers, and there are only two countries that can really offend us. ”

"Yes, even if it is two countries, one Tiele and one Fusang, which one is easy to deal with?"

"Back to Galeries Lafayette, if these two countries fight alone, it is indeed difficult to deal with. But if you form a coalition army, it will be easy to deal with. Because they have long had a heart disease with each other, they have long thought about fighting. When the former three countries intervened to return Liao, Fusang made an enmity with Tiele, and this time if they were to form a coalition army, they would inevitably restrain each other and not save each other, and this coalition army would be better than sending troops by itself. And none of them will die for each other, and there will not be too many soldiers and horses. Even if we go to war with other countries, the number of enemies will not exceed 30,000. We have boxers, there is a tiger god battalion, with ten enemies and one, we can't call 20,000 or 30,000 foreign soldiers to be defeated. If I can't win such a fight, I'm afraid that Dajin will have to live for the rest of my life and be angry with foreigners. ”

Thirty thousand? Cixi's mind moved, and the person she was worried about was the joint attack of foreign soldiers, and she couldn't support it. Listening to what Ganglie said is the Tao, it is not a lie, which shows that he has a certain certainty. If it is really twenty or thirty thousand foreign soldiers, separated from each other, even if there is no Flying Tiger Regiment, only relying on the capital's own soldiers and horses, it is enough to deal with it. As long as the coalition of foreigners is defeated and then negotiated, the dominant power is in themselves, not in foreigners. The four telegram demands will not be heard, and no one will mention them.

Moreover, Ganglie's last words really moved her, if her side can't fight and dare not fight under so many advantageous conditions, then this country can no longer be called a country, and it will not die. This is an opportunity from the sky, not necessarily to defeat the foreigners, but at least to improve the status of their side, this opportunity should not be missed.

At this time, Ganglie played again: "When the slaves entered the city, they just heard a good news that the Flying Tiger Regiment had won a great victory in Langfang. Killed hundreds of foreign soldiers, wounded more than 1,000 foreign soldiers, I heard that even the commander of the foreigners, Seymour, was injured, it can be seen that this is God's blessing, we should be ashamed. ”

When Cixi heard the news, he was also overjoyed, "I haven't gotten the letter in the palace yet, can you get this letter?" ”

"Accurate, it must be accurate, I didn't get a letter in the palace, most likely this chapter hasn't been handed in yet, and it won't take long for the slave to see it."

"Even if it's accurate, Langfang is Cheng Gongting's defensive ground, how can you say that it is the credit of the Flying Tiger Regiment?"

"Lafayette, Cheng Gongting has a deep grudge against the Flying Tiger Regiment, he has killed a lot of people from the Flying Tiger Regiment, and the Flying Tiger Regiment hates him to the core, and it will not be compatible. Now we are going to use the Flying Tiger Regiment to serve the death, we can't help but suppress Cheng and raise the group, Cheng Gongting is the official of the imperial court, and he is favored by the emperor, so he should understand that he will take into account the overall situation and will not fight for merit. This time, we can only make a list of the Flying Tiger Regiment, the Tiger God Battalion and the Martial Guard Rear Army. Only by raising them up, these people will go and fight hard for the court. As for the former army of Wuwei, although Cheng Gongting is good at fighting, he is a foreigner...... He and the fugitive Wang Zhao once exchanged stickers. Use him to fight foreigners, the slaves think it is absolutely impossible, I am afraid that he will be soft and sell his formation, and lead foreigners into Beijing. ”

It is not a secret that Cheng Gongting and Wang Zhao, a member of the Restoration, are married, and Cixi also knows about this situation. However, with regard to the New Party, the policy adopted by the imperial court was to only grasp the first evil, and did not ask for the co-ordination. Besides, there are a lot of things to worship in the officialdom, and most of the time, this kind of worship doesn't mean anything, so I didn't blame Cheng because of Wang Zhao.

However, the first article of the telegram sent by the foreigners this time was to ask for the return of the emperor, and Cixi could not help but consider whether Cheng Gongting would have his heart for the foreigner because of this.

If you reuse the front army to defend the army, and the front army turns against the water at a critical moment, this is to lure the wolf into the house. In contrast, it is the stupid Flying Tigers who are more worthy of their trust. If it can kill and injure thousands of foreigners in a burst, even if there is water, there are hundreds, then the Flying Tiger Regiment will definitely be usable, and it must be reused.

Cixi made a decision: "If this news is true, then as you played, give rewards to the Tiger God Battalion, the Martial Guard Rear Army, and the Flying Tiger Regiment, and give them weapons and rations." Anyway, they just want knives and guns, not foreign guns, from the ancestors to the present, we have created a lot of knives, guns, bows and arrows, and if they don't use them, they will forget about them. But, Strong, I have something to ask you. The Flying Tiger Regiment you said is so ruthless, why can't you beat Beitang? There are less than a hundred foreign soldiers there, but they can't attack it alive or dead, and this popular will is not as effective as you say. ”

Ganglie is not in a hurry, "Lafayette, because the heart above is not settled, the people below can't make up their minds." Everyone doesn't know whether the court is fighting or peace, and when they fight, they don't have the bottom of it, so how can they win this battle? As long as Lafayette makes a decision, the slave is willing to set up an army, take the Flying Tiger Regiment, and go to fight Xishiku! ”

"You're going to take your troops to fight Sishku? Aren't you afraid, foreigners' guns? ”

Ganglie touched the ground with his head again, and his forehead was bleeding, "The slave has received the emperor's grace, and it is difficult to repay the emperor's grace." Nowadays, on the land of our Jin country, foreigners are rampant and domineering, doing whatever they want, officials cannot be controlled, the people's morale cannot be comfortable, and the slaves see it in their eyes and hate it in their hearts. Today finally has the opportunity to be ashamed and hit Yangyi, how can a slave be afraid of words! At that time, the old ancestor stepped to the post, with 20,000 troops against 700,000 Liao people, and he was not afraid; In the former Song Dynasty, there were assault muskets, we only had swords, and our ancestors were not afraid; Later, when the Song Dynasty was destroyed by crossing the river, the Song people already had arquebuses and Hongyi cannons, and their ancestors were not afraid; Slaves don't dare to compare with their ancestors, but foreigners' foreign guns and cannons, slaves are not afraid! As long as the court declares war, the minions are willing to die for Lafayette! ”

"I'm not afraid! This is a good saying, if everyone can be as unafraid as you, how can we lose to foreigners, and how can we let foreigners bully us like this. ”

Cixi's voice was also a little choked, whether it was remembering the past when he went away to Rehe and the burning of Mingyuan, or whether he remembered the pain of Ma Guan and the destruction of decades of foreign affairs, and outsiders no longer knew. It's just that after a while, her voice returned to its former majesty, "Gang Ziliang, you remember my words, I don't want you to die, I want foreigners to die!" ”

An hour later, the palace issued a decree, in the Yiluan palace court, the six nine Qing Han Zhan Kedao and the pro-noble clan are all together, this is also the so-called big rise, if you have to be in danger and urgency, you can't do this canon. And an edict that had been prepared by Dalami a long time ago was officially issued after this court ceremony:

"I am crying to tell the first temple, generously swearing to the master and apprentice, rather than trying to survive, ashamed of eternity, if you are a big tart, a duel between male and female. He summoned ministers and ministers for several days to consult and conspire. In and Shandong provinces, there were no less than hundreds of thousands of volunteers who gathered unexpectedly on the same day. As for the five-foot boy, he can also fight to defend the community. He is still deceitful, and I rely on heaven's reason; He relies on his strength, and I am afraid of people's hearts. …… I Daikin solemnly declared, from now on

War with Albion!

Go to war with Cape!

War with Prussia!

War with the Yankees!

Go to war with the Kingdom of Sardinia!

War with Fuso!

War with Tieler!

War with the Habsburgs!

And...... War!

After the defeat of the Goryeo army, Daikim, who had just recuperated for several years, once again raised the battle flag and beat the war drums, and this time they were going to challenge the enemy: ............ Worldwide! (To be continued.) )
