Chapter 63: Jianning Mansion

Jianning Mansion is located in the northernmost part of Fujian Province, with Zhaowu Mansion on the left and Funing Mansion on the right. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Most of the foreign troops will enter from Jianning Mansion, of course, there is a small chance of entering from Zhaowu Mansion or Funing Mansion.

In any case, Jianning Mansion will definitely be very lively, after all, it will be a scene of large armies, 13,000 foreigners, and 20,000 Zhenwu troops of Li Zhongju, the king of Zhennan. This will not happen for decades.

Li Zhongju's army entered Jianning Mansion on August 13, and along the way, Li Zhongju's army was highly praised and affirmed by the people, and the people cheered and believed that the Zhenwu army would definitely achieve victory.

Liu Jiang gave a detailed introduction to the specific matters of Jianning Mansion. Everyone is all in the chest, and although they don't know everything about Jianning Mansion, they are not far away.

Li Zhongju immediately began to deploy the army, and if he wanted to win a big war, he had to pay attention to many factors, and the deployment of the army was the most important part of it.

In the Jiangnan hills, although the terrain is relatively low, it is very undulating.

Wuyi Mountain is one of the few big mountains in the south, and there is no doubt that this war between the two armies will definitely be carried out in Wuyi Mountain. Li Zhongju had already received definite news that the foreign army had entered the western part of the prefecture capital of Zhejiang Province and would soon enter the Jianning Mansion.

Thomson's coalition troops, as soon as they learned that the Qing court had named Li Zhongju as the king of Zhennan, immediately went down the road and accelerated their pace at the same time. They believed that they would be able to quickly destroy the king of Zhennan.

Thomson also sent scouts to explore the way, after all, he also got the news that the Qing court generously rewarded Li Zhongju with the capital of Fujian Province. Although he looked down on the Chinese army, he still sent scouts to scout the enemy as always.

At the same time, Thomson invited the generals of various countries to come and discuss the specific tasks of the march, after all, the unified command is conducive to the normal level of the army. At the same time, Thomson also needed absolute command, only then could he fight for more interests for Britain.

Thomson looked at the other five generals, "Rank generals, the army is about to enter Jianning Mansion, I believe that Li Zhongju is already waiting for our arrival in Jianning Mansion." Li Zhongju should be a very arrogant person, he will definitely think that we are not strong enough, after all, he has never fought a big war with us. But we're going to definitely surprise Lee. ”

The French general nodded, "General Thomson is right, I am excited to think about it, and I will soon be able to get several cities and land." ”

The Italian general said, "The hateful Li Zhongju actually demolished all of our church concessions in Liangguang, and it is estimated that at this time, he should have smashed everything in Fujian." ”

The German general smiled in his heart, but on the surface he still looked like he was angry, "General Thomson, this time we must teach that Li Zhongju a good lesson, just a frog at the bottom of the well, he doesn't know the height of the sky, he wants to jump out and fight against us." ”

The German general is really shameless, why can't people get along with you, Li Zhongju just did what he wanted to do, so he couldn't do it?

The Austro-Hungarian general looked at everyone, as if he was determined by the other party, and said coldly, "I advise everyone, don't underestimate Li Zhongju, otherwise you will regret it." ”

The Russian general said coldly, "What can a bunch of dirt buns do to us, it's really laughing at me, even the Qing court doesn't dare to provoke us now, and a country village man wants to embarrass us." Hmph, in a Chinese sentence, I am unwilling to destroy its nine tribes. ”

General Thomson smiled and said, "It's good that the generals have confidence, after all, we are not going to deal with the regular army this time, think about the battle that the Qing court asked us to suppress at that time twenty years ago." ”

General Thomson continued, "What weapons did those men use, knives, clubs, clubs, bows and arrows, and even hoes. It feels funny when I think about it, the Qing court can't beat it. How much stronger do you think Li Zhongju's rebel team is stronger than that team twenty years ago? ”

Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles, and the generals of these great powers did not know the equipment of Li Zhongju's army.

Wrong!

The foreigners were pitted by the Qing court, and the Qing court did not tell them that Li Zhongju's army had strong firepower, and it seemed that the Qing court was digging a pit for the foreigners.

Although this will not cause heavy losses to the foreign army, it can definitely increase the casualties of the foreign army.

Thomson continued, "From now on, I need absolute command of the army, and I hope that all the generals will fully cooperate with me, otherwise the fighters will be delayed. ”

"Yes." The crowd can only answer like this, and as for how much, I'm afraid only the devil knows.

In any case, Thomson had achieved his goal, and he didn't seem to care much about how much they listened, didn't he......

Li Zhongju received a secret report from the scouts that the foreign army had entered Jianning Mansion, which was about 200 miles away from Jianning City.

Li Zhongju immediately sent an envoy to the camp of the foreign army, preparing to salute first and then soldier.

Yang Dong is the envoy sent by Li Zhongju to the foreign army this time, since joining the Zhenwu army, this is the first time Yang Dong has accepted the task, he was assigned under Li Jingshu, as Li Jingshu's deputy, Yang Dong does not care about this at all. Yang Dong's favorite thing is to debate, especially like the scene of verbal and verbal battles, although this time it may not take much effort to spend himself, but he will definitely do his best to contribute to the Zhenwu army.

Yang Dong returned from studying in the UK a year ago, and he joined Zhang Zhidong's staff and often told Zhang Zhidong about new things in the West. Zhang Zhidong also values Yang Dong very much, and this time Zhang Zhidong finally recommended Yang Dong to Li Zhongju.

Since Yang Dong likes to engage in diplomacy, Li Zhongju directly asked him to become Li Jingshu's deputy. Yang Dong looked at the enemy camp in front of him, and it was really extraordinary, and it was much better than the training army of the Qing court.

But no matter how Yang Dong looked at it, he felt that the camp in front of him was definitely not as good as the camp of the Zhenwu Army. Could it be a personal emotional factor, no, the Zhenwu army is stronger than the foreign army!

Yang Dong approached the enemy camp and was immediately discovered by the sentry, "Who are you and what are you doing here?" The sentry said in fluent English.

Of course, Yang Dong can understand the English and speak it very well. Yang Dong immediately responded, "I am Yang Dong, the messenger of the King of Zhennan, and I want to see your general." ”

"Wait a minute, I'll ask my superiors right away."

In less than ten minutes, the sentry returned, "You can go in." ”

Yang Dong led four weak, somewhat tattered soldiers dressed in tatters and carried two boxes into the enemy camp. Along the way, he was followed by more than a dozen foreign soldiers, holding guns and almost escorting everyone.

General Thomson was drinking, and when he heard that an envoy from the other side had arrived, he was curious and prepared to receive him.
