Chapter 328: Hu Xueyan's Suggestion

After about half an hour, after re-applying the plaster and splint to Sheng Xuanmei, and then telling Zhou Xiuying some precautions, Wu Feng took Yang Shuijiao and Sheng Xuanhuai and hurried away.

Suzhou was handed over to Hong Xuanjiao to garrison, in addition to the Second Army, which had rushed to Baoshan, Wang Feng brought two divisions of the First Army over, so that the strength of Baoshan would reach 45,000 people, which was the largest battle of the Democratic Alliance since its establishment.

For this war, the whole army has been fully mobilized, the Ordnance Bureau has also worked overtime, the modification of Mini guns, gunpowder, grenades, shells, mines and mines have been produced in a steady stream, and Su Song Taichang has entered a wartime emergency from the moment Wang Feng left, in addition to the implementation of curfews in various cities, the access control and inventory have also been strictly checked countless times, and all outsiders are not allowed to enter the city without the guarantee of locals.

The Fourth Army that stayed in northern Jiangsu also raised the alert level accordingly, Huai'an and Xuzhou implemented a curfew, of which Huai'an was left to Tang Caifang to garrison, and Su Sanniang personally led the army to the junction with Haimen Tongzhou, and will cooperate with Wang Feng to attack at any time!

At the same time, the sea surface of Ningbo, Zhejiang Province is also black smoke billowing and sailing films.

Wang Yide, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, stood on the fort and said with emotion: "It seems that Yingyi has made a bloody investment, the old man has seen the Yingyi warship in the Jiangning River more than ten years ago during the Qingying War, and at that time he already felt that the military might could not arrive, but compared with today, it is still far inferior, with this male division to attack, I expect that the short hair will be unfortunate, but unfortunately, this is not my Qing warship, alas~~"

All the generals around him feel the same way. shook his head again and again and sighed, after all, it was the fishermen and the people, and then the greed and perversion of the law. There is always some sense of national identity, unless it is a banana man through and through!

Wu Wenrong, the governor of Zhejiang, seems to have discovered something. I couldn't help but be surprised: "Huh? It doesn't seem to be Yingyi on that ship? Look, is it black? ”

Those with good eyesight stared directly, and those with bad eyesight raised their binoculars one after another, and the warships of the British army, together with the merchant ships transporting troops, were about one hundred and fifty, on merchant ships. With the exception of a very small number of whites, most were black, and a significant number of them wore tall turbans.

"My lords, this is not a black man!" Wang Youling, the prefect of Hangzhou, held up the binoculars and waved his hand: "Youling has seen black people in Guangzhou, but he was really scared, black people with iron faces and silver teeth, oblique jaws like pigs, looking straight like cows, full of long hair. His hands and feet are dark and stupid, and his body is fishy. And these people, black with yellow, yellow with black, gray complexion, have a certain difference from blacks. ”

Hu Xueyan arched his hand: "Lord Wang is right, the contemptible people have also seen the black people several times, and the Yingyi warship should be Indians, from their colonies, because their skin is slightly lighter than the black people." So the intelligence is also higher, but extremely limited. I really don't understand what Yingyi thinks, he actually uses Indians as the main force. Ladies and gentlemen, please forgive me for saying something that I don't like, this battle may not be optimistic. ”

"Eh~~" Wu Wenrong waved his hand disappreciably: "No matter how stupid and stupid you are, you will always shoot and shoot?" Could it be that the guns on the Yingyi warships have become decorations? Boss Hu, the big war is coming, be careful of the trouble from the mouth! ”

Wang Youling hurriedly gave Hu Xueyan a look, and Hu Xueyan immediately bowed deeply: "What Master Wu taught me is that the contemptible people have been taught. ”

"Hmm~~" Wu Wenrong stroked his beard with satisfaction.

At this moment, a man pointed to the southern sea: "Ladies and gentlemen, look, another ship is coming." ”

On the sea level in the south, there is a group of black spots, as the distance approaches, you can gradually see clearly, there are more than 200 boats, of which 100 are red and black, obviously red single boats, the rest are more miscellaneous, there are fishing boats, merchant ships, some still drag some sampans behind, but there are also a small number of boats shaped like fast crabs, big steak style.

"Good!" Wang Yide shouted: "Shunde Chen Village and the Haikou hired by the Thirteen Lines have all arrived, Lord Wu, please worry about the cooperation with Yingyi, Jiangsu Governor Ji will board the ship in the concession, you should cooperate closely to ensure that the first war to pacify Jiangnan!" ”

According to the previous assignment, Wu Wenrong will lead the army to board the British warship to fight together, so he gave his hand suddenly: "The lowly will do its best to eliminate the rebellion for the emperor, please sit down with Lord Wang and all the adults and say goodbye!" After saying that, he took the two thousand green battalions and ran to the dock in front.

Wang Yide said again: "Lord Wang, please rush to Jiaxing as much as possible, once Yingyi landstruck, immediately send troops to attack Songjiang, attack Yingyi on both sides, and break into Suzhou!" ”

"Go at once!" Wang Youling arched his hand and led some of the personnel to leave quickly.

As soon as he left the range of Ningbo Wharf, Hu Xueyan pulled Wang Youling aside and said in a low voice: "Brother Yingjiu (Wang Youling's cousin), what do you think of this victory?" ”

Wang Youling muttered: "Yingyi's total strength is nearly 50,000, although it is mainly Indians, but Lord Wu is reasonable, he can fiddle with guns and cannons to fight, although the combat strength of the Indians is, you and I don't know, however, Yingyi dares to use the Indians as the main force, and it is expected that it will not be far behind, and there are still 10,000 Chen Cun and Haikou, which is already 60,000 troops!"

And this official will command 20,000 troops in Jiaxing to cooperate with Yingyi to attack Songjiang, according to the detailed report, Songjiang's short hair is less than 10,000 people, and must be divided into various cities, it is very easy to break through, how? Could it be that Xueyan still have concerns? ”

Hu Xueyan nodded and said: "That is, Brother Yingjiu, Guang Yong will put his heart in his heart, and the younger brother advises the brother not to be too optimistic, I have met Wang Feng, the commander-in-chief of the Democratic Alliance, and the plan we set to stir up the price of grain in Suzhou was seen through by this person at a glance, if my brother wants to ask me how deep this person is, I can only describe it as unfathomable."

In his hands, the Democratic Alliance Army grew to a scale of about 100,000 people in just one year, and the military spirit was cohesive, the morale was high, Su Song was too often thriving, and the people's hearts were subdued, which could not be compared with the bandits and bandits.

On the other hand, our side does not have an advantage in terms of troops, and secondly, the composition of the troops is mixed, there are court troops, there are sea bandits, there are shipbuilders, and those Indians, who are not subordinate to each other, and it is difficult to effectively implement military orders, how can we win? If the British troops are all white, then they can still make up for this shortcoming, and this battle may be won or lost by two points, but the appearance of the Indians who are not black and yellow is always unreliable, and the Yingjiu brothers must make plans in advance. ”

Although Hu Xueyan is an independent businessman, he is actually similar to his staff and his confidant, and he has never talked nonsense, and although the black man he saw in Guangzhou was fierce, he was extremely docile, and was whipped by the white man, punched and kicked and respectful, this is a heartfelt obedience, completely different from the resentment hidden in the eyes of the Chinese who worked as coolies on the docks, how can such a race have combat effectiveness?

Chinese have discriminated against dark-skinned people since ancient times, such as snow skin, white as jade, one white covering three ugly, etc., the language is full of praise for white skin, of course, the Chinese's understanding of white is different from the white skin of white people, white people are miserable white, just like the white of the black and white impermanent crying stick, so it will be called a ghost, and the white that the Chinese like is Yingbai, which is a very clean, white that can shine with a glimmer like mutton fat white jade.

Indians have only a slightly lighter complexion than pure blacks, and it is generally believed that Indians are only slightly better than pure blacks.

Wang Youling couldn't help asking, "Xueyan, then how do you say I should deal with it?" ”

Hu Xueyan muttered: "Lord Wang once told Brother Yingjiu that once Brother Yingyi landed, he would immediately attack Songjiang Mansion, but the younger brother had reservations, what kind of goods Brother Yingjiu would not know, if the battle was not divided to attack the Democratic Alliance, I am afraid that most of them would cringe, and even be counterattacked by the Democratic Alliance, causing a big defeat and loss, causing the collapse of the war situation. It is not too late to attack again. ”

"Hmm~~" Wang Youling nodded: "This is very good, what if it is as you say, it is the Democratic Alliance that wins?" ”

Hu Xueyan looked left and right to make sure that no one was paying attention to him, and then he spit out a word from his mouth: "Descend!" ”

"What?" Wang Youling's face changed drastically, and he said angrily: "Xueyan, you and I have intersected for several years in vain, I know everything with you, but you let me be that chaotic minister and thief?" Could it be that the last time you went to Suzhou, you have been secretly bought by Shorthair? ”

Hu Xueyan said solemnly: "The world has its own number of drinks and pecks, today's loyal ministers, put three hundred years ago may not be a chaotic minister and thief, the same reason, today's loyal ministers, in a few years, may be labeled as a traitor, traitor, the key is that this world is not the world of the Han people, but the world of the Manchurians, the so-called time and change of events, it is this reason.

If the Democratic Alliance army wins a big victory, it will definitely take advantage of the situation to attack Hangzhou, and the Yingjiu brothers think that Hangzhou and even the whole province of Zhejiang can hold it? And the court even lost the wealth of Suzhou and Hangzhou, if it can't be recaptured in a short time, the consequences will be unimaginable, the younger brother has one more mouth, this battle has the cooperation of the foreign army, if the court can't even capture Su Song too often, how can you talk about attacking Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces in the future?

Of course, from the bottom of my heart, I hope that the court can pacify southern Jiangsu here, but the reality often does not depend on people's ideas, and the younger brother also hopes that Brother Yingjiu will consider it carefully. ”

Wang Youling's face was cloudy, but he never said anything.

Hu Xueyan groaned slightly, and then said: "The younger brother forgot to mention it to Brother Yingjiu, when the younger brother met with the commander of the Democratic Alliance Army, he praised Brother Yingjiu, praising you for being a rare honest and talented official in the Qing court, he said, once he comes to the city of Hangzhou, I hope you can recognize the shape and make the right choice, and he will give you the opportunity to repay the defeat." ”

"Hey~~" Wang Youling sighed and said with a wry smile: "It's rare that Commander Wang can take a fancy to me, I'm flattered, hehe~~ Let's go." (To be continued) R580
