readx;
Zeng Guoquan heard Zeng Guofan praise Lin Haijiang so much, and couldn't help but snort: "It's all fucking shit luck, just change someone, what's the big deal?" Give me so many ironclad ships and elite guns, and Lao Tzu can also pacify the Quartet in the universe. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Zeng Guofan's eyes widened: "What nonsense are you talking again?" Essay on martial arts you may not be much lower than the forest rebellion, but this single jealousy can ruin you, jealousy will make it difficult for you to distinguish the truth from the false, you want to sweep the universe? What else are you going to do? Did you force me to cut off your head? ”
Zeng Guoquan, who realized that he had drunk a few glasses and was a little out of shape, hurriedly confessed, Zeng Guofan snorted coldly and ignored him, turned to Xu Guangyuan and said, "Tell me!" How about this Lin Rebellion? How sure is our army against it? ”
Xu Guangyuan looked around at Zeng Guoquan, Zeng Jize, Zeng Guobao and others, looked at Zeng Guofan, came to the huge map, took a deep breath and said: "Marshal, the same as what you said before, in terms of overall strategy, we should despise the enemy strategically, and we should pay attention to the enemy in tactics!" ”
"Hmm!" Zeng Guofan nodded with great satisfaction and said, "The words you said are very concise and incisive!" Incisive! Not bad! Very good! ”
Xu Guangyuan was a little embarrassed and said: "This is not what he said, but what Lin Cheng said, many of his words have been used by the Royal Naval Academy in Dartmouth as a motto to teach students!" Although he did not study at the Royal Naval College in Dartmouth, the British almost all hated and feared Lin Wei when they mentioned it, and there was reverence, which was indescribable. ”
Zeng Guofan gasped when he heard what Xu Guangyuan said: "As you said, isn't Lin Shun a perfect person who defy the sky?" ”
Xu Guangyuan said helplessly: "Western science and technology to England and France as the leader, the strength of the two countries in the joint defeat of Russia in the Crimea after the great increase, but the actual relationship between the two countries is also a competitive relationship, France has always been a European army power, after defeating Russia, it became the first army power in Europe, and then the goal of the French is to become a naval power, and the result is a potential competition with the English, so when Lin Yi fought the French in the Indochina Peninsula, it is normal for the English to watch the excitement. ”
Xu Guangyuan paused and looked at Zeng Guofan and Zeng Guoquan, who were frowning, and continued: "Prussia was originally a combination of a city-state, and the technology obtained from Lin Rebellion made a lot of money for its shipbuilding, and then the two sides cooperated and produced arms on a large scale, it seems that Prussia is helping Lin Rebellion, but in fact Lin Rebellion helped Prussia, and now I heard that the Russian instructor in the army said that Prussia was completely defeated by France in the Franco-Prussian War, and France wants to pay reparations equivalent to one billion taels of our silver, and also cede land, and now Prussia wants to establish a German Empire, Preparing for a formal alliance with the Chinese Empire, Lin Rei's arms have been sold to Europe and the American world, and all countries in the world are copying on the basis of their Imperial Type 1 rifles, even more so battleships and naval guns, as for the Dai Type 1 and Type 2 light machine guns, no country has yet succeeded in copying them! This coalition seems to be menacing, but after all, it is the army of the Seven Kingdoms, and it is reasonable to be defeated, in the Royal Naval Institute in Dartmouth, it is said that no one dared Lin Haijiang to fight against the deduction, which shows that it has uniqueness. ”
Zeng Guoquan listened to Xu Guangyuan's words, hesitated for a moment and said to Zeng Guofan: "It's better to get rid of Lin Rebellion's son as soon as possible, if the time comes, which of us can be his opponent?" The Great Qing Dynasty is in danger! If the light doesn't work, we use the dark? As the saying goes, open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to prevent, I don't believe that he can prevent one day and a thousand words? ”
Zeng Guofan waved his hand and said, "Do you know what the situation is on Lin Wei's side?" All cut their braids, the people under them are all soldiers, monthly, quarterly, and yearly regular exercises, every household is jointly protected, everyone is responsible, our detectives are almost all cleaned up, the rest are people at both ends of the snake and rat, the information provided makes us run around the country, not to mention that Lin Rebellion's intelligence headquarters, how can Wang Faren be a good role to deal with, last time Wang Furen was ordered by Prince Gong to send twenty killers to infiltrate in six ways with the intention of assassinating Lin Haijiang in Guangzhou, but as a result, people were ambushed as soon as they left Gyeonggi, Twenty good hands died, Wang Furen's whole family of sixty-three was killed that night, even Prince Gong was shot black, and more than 50 guards were killed and wounded. After that, Prince Gong didn't go out of the house much for half a year, and he said that he was sick, what kind of disease did he raise? It's scared! ”
Zeng Guoquan rubbed his hands and said helplessly: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work!" Are we going to sit still? ”
Zeng Guofan waved his hand and said: "Right now, Zuo Zongtang's army of seven towns is on the periphery of Wuhan, and it was originally an arrangement to attack from the east and west, but after the battle of Nanjing, the Russians grabbed it and stared at Shanghai. What our spies have seen with their own eyes is really a mountain! can't all be seized by the hungry wolves of the Russians, then again, this Lin Reyi's family background is indeed thick! Think that I have been established in the Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years, and it is not as good as a rebellious person for a few years? ”
Xu Guangyuan said helplessly: "Lin Yi's arms trade is worthy of our Qing Dynasty's taxes for several years, and he began to premeditate the hoarding of arms and guns before the American War, this windfall is really rich, and he still has a lot of trade with European countries before, and can continue to plunder gold, silver and other things from his own country, Southeast Asia, and Indochina Peninsula, how can these be compared with my Qing Dynasty?" ”
Zeng Guofan sighed helplessly and said: "I can't compare with it, I can't see that my Qing Dynasty mansion will collapse, I will wait for the king's luck and bear the king's business!" Since Lin Wei has laid a tight defensive line outside Shanghai, the Russians and the eighth and ninth towns have suffered great losses, and most of Lin Wei's capital is at sea, and his troops must be stretched thin on land, so I invite you to come and take a look, is there any way to pierce Lin Wei's defense line and make the Russians smell blood? ”
Xu Guangyuan hesitated before coming to the map with a solemn expression: "According to the available information, the headquarters of Zhang Zheng's First Army of the First Army of the Knowing Lin Rebellion is located in Hangzhou, and the four divisions under it are arranged in a zigzag, relying on the strong city defense, it is difficult for our army to be tough!" The headquarters of Xu Dawei of the Third Army Corps is located in Jiangyin, and the headquarters of Zheng Zhipeng of the Fourth Army Corps is approaching Xianning, which can be described as two giant pincers to Wuhan, which can be attacked and retreated, and there is no disadvantage, only the Ninth Division of the Second Army Army Liu Quansi's Division Xu Renda is in Shanghai, the Tenth Division of Li Jiang is located in Jiangyin, the Eleventh Division of Wang Daodun is located in Suzhou, and the Twelfth Division of Huang Shengzhi is located in Changshu. ”
Zeng Guoquan looked around the map for a while and said, "Lin Wei also has a First Mountain Infantry Legion and a Command Corps, where are they?" Even if we destroy his Second Legion, his Third Legion will still hold Hangzhou, and his Third Legion will be indifferent to watching us destroy the Second Legion? You must know that those wolf cubs of the Chinese Empire are not the bastards who can't be saved when they see death on our side of the Qing Dynasty, if you bite any of them, they will surround you in all directions and beat you to death! ”
Zeng Guofan also nodded and said: "In the last battle against Changsha, what did Lin Yi newly form the Fifth Army, Sixth Army, Seventh Army, Eighth Army, and the Second Army of Mountain Infantry, and now we only know the number, even where is its station?" I don't know who the commander of the corps is, just Lin Rei is equipped with these troops on the front line is enough for us to be lively, we shoot the first shot, and then let the Russians fight to the death, the Russians are still hesitating about whether to increase their troops now, after all, the coalition army is defeated like a mountain, if the Russians are beaten hard by Lin Rei, they will increase their troops, and in the end, we can't give out some money and food, and it is the Russians who die, which is also a good opportunity to weaken the Russians, lest they always think about the land of our Qing Dynasty's Xinglong, as long as the main force of our Beiyang New Army is in, And what about the Russians? I don't think it's possible to raise tigers for trouble, the military planes in the court, the prince and the queen mother of the two palaces can see it clearly! ”
Xu Dawei looked at the map for a while, pulled out a copy of the same map from the leather file bag he carried with him and put it on the case, Zeng Guofan glanced at it, and his eyes were tightly locked on it, because this map was too detailed compared to the one he used before! Even the roads in the villages and towns are clearly marked, and it is a pity that this map is only near Jiujiang.
Xu Dawei saw that Zeng Guofan's face was full of doubts, so he explained: "Marshal, please look here, this is the spoils of war obtained in the battle with the scouts of the Chinese Empire, this kind of map is equipped with their battalion and company level, and our army can only understand the map when it reaches the level of the association, not to mention the ruler on the map and the operation on the map, our army must find a large number of guides every time it goes, otherwise it will be difficult to move an inch, and about seventy percent of the officers on the Chinese Empire side are proficient in using map operations, with the help of maps and references, Even the darkness of the night is unhindered, these are their strengths! ”
Zeng Guofan nodded, he knew very well that the Chinese Empire was indeed much stronger than the Qing Dynasty in terms of weapons and the quality of officers and soldiers, this is also an indisputable fact, and now even if the Qing Dynasty begins to establish an officer academy, it seems that it is too late to catch up, and even if the officer academy is established, it is still the way for the children of the Eight Banners to be promoted to the rank of gold, and how many real talents can be discovered? The main reason why Beiyang is so strong is because there are no children of the Eight Banners in Beiyang who are good at ease and bad at work, and without rat feces, this pot of soup is at least passable on the surface!
So Zeng Guofan thought for a while and said, "Then you can tell me what they are not lacking in, right?" ”
