The large-scale retreat of the Beiyang New Army is still in the encirclement, and the consequences are disastrous for the Russian army, which is called the end of the Russian army's breakthrough, and more than 60,000 Russian troops finally put down their weapons in the smaller and smaller encirclement, and Zeng Guofan, who has withdrawn to Nanjing, wrote a secret fold on Yanjing when he learned of the Russian army, and Zeng Guofan is still sitting firmly in Diaoyutai at the moment with the edict issued by the imperial court at that time, because Veredovsky is the commander-in-chief of the Qing-Russian coalition army, Willedovsky disdained to command the Qing army, even the Beiyang New Army taught by the Russian army instructor was no exception, and when Veledovsky wanted to command the Beiyang New Army to rescue himself, but no one paid attention to him, Zeng Guofan would not see his Beiyang New Army fall into a situation from which he could never recover.

So Veredovsky finally got his wish and met with his hated Margolov, the meeting place was in the prisoner of war camp outside Shanghai, the Russian prisoners of war are responsible for all the infrastructure that they are damaged or destroyed because of this war, including all the roads, according to Lin Haijiang, this is to give them a chance to make meritorious atonements, the construction of large physical strength plus mines, coal mines and other high-risk projects, according to Lin Haijiang's estimates, it will only take less than two years, It will be able to consume all these Russian prisoners.

Lin Haijiang took a different approach to dealing with the Russians than the European countries, Lin Haijiang knew that Russia could not afford to ransom their prisoners of war, and Russia had always peeped into our territory in China, and in the future, if he wanted to herd horses on the shores of Lake Baikal, there would be an earth-shattering war with the Russians sooner or later, so he could not be too polite to the Russians, especially these Russians were guilty of many crimes on Chinese soil, and each of them was innocent, considering the large-scale execution of more than 120,000 Russian prisoners of war, The cost of burning and burial alone is a large sum, and memory breeds a large-scale outbreak of plague, so Lin Haijiang decided to let the Russians act as coolies for himself and crush them all to death! Otherwise, it would be too cheap to shoot and crash, this group of European beasts.

For the high-ranking generals and officers of the Russian army, such as Veredovsky and Margolov, Lin Haijiang did not even give them any treatment, but asked the production and construction corps supervising the work to ruthlessly govern these high-ranking officers and generals, and absolutely not let any of them leave China alive, so that the Russians will feel a cool breeze behind them when they mention the Chinese Empire! Let them not dare to raise the guts of the dog to launch aggression.

On July 20, 1862, Lin Haijiang appeared in Yanziji on the flagship of the Imperial Gunboat Corps, the 2,100-ton inland river destroyer Nanling, which was familiar to Lin Haijiang, and ten days ago the Beiyang New Army abandoned Changzhou, and now his own Army First Army, Third Army Corps, Fifth Army Corps, Second Mountain Infantry Corps and Corps directly under the Command, and the Fifth and Sixth Brigades of the Marine Corps have arrived at the periphery of Nanjing.

Lin Haijiang smiled slightly after receiving the information handed over by Li Anmin: "This time we will attack Nanjing, but we can no longer be shelled by Zeng Guofan's Beiyang New Army!" In addition, you pay attention to the movement of the Fourth Army Corps in the direction of Wuhan, the First Mountain Infantry Regiment of Gaoqi has secretly moved closer to the Fourth Army Corps, if Seng Lingqin wants to have an unexpected field battle, then I guarantee that he will have enough surprises! ”

Li Anmin was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "It's still the Führer's comprehensive consideration!" Before the plan of the General Staff came, your order had already been issued, otherwise it would not be as easy to use it as you as the Führer if all the heads of our General Staff were added together! ”

Lin Haijiang knew that Li Anmin was deliberately complimenting himself, but everyone loved to listen to nice flattery, and Lin Haijiang was naturally no exception! Lin Haijiang looked at the gunboats shuttling on the river from afar, and suddenly asked, "Does your General Staff have a plan for the construction of the Mawei Shipyard?" There are six brigades under the Imperial Inland River Gunboat Corps, and now not counting the fifteen gunboats of the two special detachments in Wuhan, there are more than fifty of them concentrated in Xiaguan alone, right? ”

Li Anmin nodded and recalled: "That's true, the construction plan of the Mawei Shipyard has always been managed and approved by the Imperial Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Production and Construction, and our General Staff is not very clear about the specific situation!" ”

Lin Haijiang hesitated for a moment and said: "Inform the Admiralty that the Admiralty and your General Staff will be involved in the next purchase and construction plan, the river gunboat is not a large surface combat ship, and the strategic mission of our Imperial Navy is to compete with the European powers and the ocean, not to guard the waterway of the Yangtze River!" We don't need that much! ”

Li Anmin said as if he suddenly remembered something: "As soon as I mentioned this matter, I remembered that the Ministry of Commerce was preparing to sell a total of sixty of these river gunboats to the United States at the end of the year, and the shogunate of the Shogunate was now cutting the feudal domain, and was fighting with Satsuma and other feudal clans, but the most fierce was the political axe of the north and south of the United States, they were all rich people, and they were all desperately mining gold mines, and now we are the only ones in the whole world who have ready-made arms to sell to them, and the quality of the arms made by our empire is far better than that produced by the British." For our mortars, grenades and mines, they are in short supply, some time ago the Southern Alliance political axe also sent a secret envoy to buy a large number of 75 mm field artillery and special incendiary bombs, not even asking the price, only asking for the quantity! ”

Lin Haijiang smiled and said: "Then the acceptance team of your General Staff must check it well during the final inspection, and the quality of my own equipment can be almost good, but the quality of the equipment given to the Americans must be the same as ours, you must know that what the American political axe bought in the north and south has to be used to come in handy, and it has to be tested in actual combat, so you don't have to control it so tightly, you can sell them more new weapons, now they have no ability to produce, and we lack competitors, So take advantage of this opportunity to sell our weapons to the world, this is a lucrative deal! ”

Li Anmin smiled and nodded: "The Prussian side has also proposed to order 5,000 general-purpose machine guns and 30,000 light machine guns from us, because after the quality supervision of their Mauser brothers, the weapons we produce fully meet their quality requirements, and there are even places that surpass them." ”

Lin Haijiang was a little surprised: "This is the first time I have heard of this news, check which branch made that batch of firearms at that time?" It is necessary to reward this military spirit of excellence! ”

As soon as Li Anmin left, Lin Haijiang returned to his cabin, and there was a knock on the door outside? Lin Haijiang opened the hatch with some surprise and saw that it was Zhang Yunji who was blocked by the guards at the door, and the newly appointed deputy chief of the guard had been staring at Zhang Yunji who looked a little unsatisfactory with a scrutinizing gaze.

Although Lin Haijiang spoke, the deputy chief of guard still searched Zhang Yunji, an imperial official, several times, and finally gave him a pair of slippers, and temporarily kept the leather shoes that could be used as a weapon for attack.

Lin Haijiang looked at Zhang Yunji with a smile, he knew that this old guy married a big girl like a flower last month, and he didn't know where this old guy got such good energy? On the contrary, I am much more depressed! How many women don't even have the time to take a look, the height is unbearable, not only friendship, family affection, and feelings, but everything seems to be much weaker?

Lin Haijiang knew that Zhang Yunji was a busy man who had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and if he could board the Nanling destroyer, he must have something confidential to report to him, so Lin Haijiang straightened up.

Zhang Yunji put down the briefcase, took out a file from his arms, and said with an embarrassed smile: "There are agents from the intelligence headquarters escorting along the way, and there is always no peace of mind in the bag.

Lin Haijiang carefully looked at the file handed to him by Zhang Yunji, he never expected it to be a so-called gold mining exploration report? Lin Haijiang naturally knows that China's gold resources are unbalanced in terms of regional distribution, on the whole, the eastern region has a wide distribution of gold mines, many types, the more concentrated area of placer gold is the northern and eastern edge of the northeast region, and the three giant deep fault systems on the mainland control the overall distribution pattern of rock gold deposits, and the non-ferrous metal concentration area in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River is the main production area of associated and symbiotic gold.

Although there are many types of gold deposits in China and the geological conditions for prospecting are superior, there are still no super-large gold types such as the Rand type in South Africa, the Mullongtau type in the former Soviet Union, the Homstak and Carlin types in the United States, the Homlot type in Canada, and the volcanic rocks in Papua New Guinea.

The domestic associated gold reserves account for about 30% of the total gold reserves in the country, most of which come from copper ore, a small amount from lead and zinc ore, mainly concentrated in Jiangxi, Gansu, Anhui, Hubei, Hunan five provinces accounting for about 70% of the associated gold reserves, of which Jiangxi ranks first. Lin Haijiang knew that the location of large-scale easy-to-mine gold mines was a national strategic secret, and it was impossible to completely disclose it.

Lin Haijiang did not have a complete plan for the mining and use of gold in China, and the gold and silver that the empire was constantly transporting back came from the provinces of Yuben, the southeastern provinces, and the Indochina Peninsula.

Lin Haijiang's policy is to dig outside first, including the oil policy in the future, although Lin Haijiang has a lot of ideas about the Middle East, but it is indeed a little out of reach at the moment.
