There are all three types of oil in the army, but they are limited by the fact that they have not been systematically exploited, and the quantity is very small.

This can't be helped, Lan Fang's power is too small, Wang Feng will not invest in the oil industry in Lan Fang until the Dutch are expelled, and the closest oil field to the territory of the Democratic Alliance is the Shengli oil field in Le'an County (now Dongying) in Shandong Province, which is still in the hands of the Qing army.

As for the vehicle torpedo boat that launches torpedoes, there is no need to make them specially, just find some small boats to remodel.

After eating early and late, Wang Feng hurried away with Lu'e, only 40 kilometers from Suzhou to the Taihu Lake base, riding horses all the way, and arrived at close to noon, and at this time in Bozhou, the results of the investigation into last night's poisoning incident also came out.

Zhang Lexing was reorganized by Li Hongzhang was just an expedient measure under the exhaustion of mountains and rivers, and after getting a chance to breathe, he plotted to get rid of Li Hongzhang's control, he took advantage of the opportunity to hold a full moon wedding banquet for his young son, gathered the high-level Huai army including the leader of the original twist army, and killed him with poisonous wine, the sinister intentions, the viciousness of the means, outrageous, not killing is not enough to punish his evil!

The final resolution was that Zhang Lexing, Zhang Zongyu and Su Jinfu had exterminated their families, and their family property was not military property, and a wanted warrant was issued for Zhang Zongyu, who had escaped, whether he lived or died, and if he provided information or killed the captor, he would be rewarded with silver ranging from 1,000 to 5,000 taels, and called on the Democratic Alliance to temporarily put aside the hostile position, and hurriedly to contain the villains, and if Zhang Zongyu could be handed over to the Huai army, he would be rethanked.

In addition, in terms of casualties, although they were rescued with all their might, Hou Shiwei, Han Laowan and other high-level members of the Twist Army escaped by luck except for Gong Deshu and Miao Peilin. The rest were unfortunately killed, and the court had less drinking. The poisoning was not deep, and no one died. However, it will take three days to make a final conclusion.

At the same time, in order to show magnanimity and remember Zhang Lexing's contribution to the construction of the Twisted Army, the special network opened up to pardon Zhang Lexing's young son for the death penalty, leaving a bloodline for the Zhang family, which was adopted by Li Hongzhang as a righteous son to raise.

As soon as this news came out, many people praised Li Hongzhang for repaying his grievances with virtue and gave him a thumbs up. Scream hello!

A room at the headquarters of the Huai Army in Bozhou was full of the smell of medicine, and Li Hongzhang, Liu Mingchuan, Zhang Shusheng, Shu Deshu and Miao Peilin and other survivors of the catastrophe were lying on Western-style beds, but their complexions were not as ugly as those at the beginning of the poisoning, but they were all ruddy.

"Hahahaha~~" Miao Peilin suddenly laughed out loud: "Zhang Lexing doesn't know the current affairs, and the marshal has hinted at him many times, but in addition to asking for guns and food, he is pretending to be deaf and dumb." This time, it can be regarded as retribution. ”

"Yes!" Xi Deshu nodded and said: "Zhang Lexing has summoned me, Su Jinfu, Han Laowan and others many times to discuss how to reverse from the hands of the marshal. He can afford to lose someone, and I can't afford to lose that person! ”

Li Hongzhang arched his hand: "This great event can be achieved thanks to Brother Deshu and Brother Peilin." Please rest assured, I, Li, will treat him as a confidant. Like Mingchuan, Shusheng and other brothers, they are blessed and shared. If you violate this oath, the sky will thunder! ”

In fact, ordinary people will believe the oath, but as a politician, no one will take the oath seriously, when Miao Peilin, Raid Deshu, and even Liu Mingchuan and other Luzhou regiment veterans threaten Li Hongzhang, he will not hesitate to clear it, just like this time against Zhang Lexing, he did a clean job, and he also fell into a good reputation.

To tell the truth, everyone admires Li Hongzhang's skills and scheming, and they are also secretly frightened, and they quietly wiped out the top leaders of the original twist army, this is a Cao Mengde-style character, no, he is more clever than Cao Mengde, comparable to Sima Yi!

In the face of such a person, very few people dare to have a different heart, and they all echo it at the moment, shouting that they are willing to swear allegiance to Lord Li!

"Hehehehe~~" Li Hongzhang said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I would like to thank Mr. Binel, if it weren't for the French doctor he invited to dispense the antidote for me to take in advance, this matter may not have gone so smoothly." ”

"Dashuai!" At this time, Miao Peilin hesitated and arched his hand: "After this incident, Mr. Biner's prestige in our Huai army has increased greatly, this"

Miao Peilin didn't say anything halfway through, but everyone knew the meaning of his words, Li Hongzhang's eyes suddenly narrowed imperceptibly, and then waved his hand indifferently: "Biner is a close friend of Ben Shuai, and he is a bright person, Brother Peilin, you are too worried, don't mention this in the future, so as not to fall into Bi Nai's eyes and cause unhappiness." ”

"Yes! The lesson of the handsome is that! Miao Peilin lowered his head in shame.

"Alas~~" Immediately after, Liu Mingchuan sighed: "It's just a pity, Zhang Zongyu will be let go, if Liu is not wrong, Zhang Zongyu will definitely go to the territory of the Democratic Alliance to seek refuge, I'm afraid there will be trouble!" ”

ran away for Zhang Zongyu, which everyone did not expect, although Li Hongzhang and other high-level officials were pre-dosed with antidotes and did not actually poison, they had to pretend to be poisoned, so that the situation at that time was extremely chaotic, and an accident happened.

Zhang Shusheng also nodded: "The person who let Zhang Zongyu go killed two companions, bought Zhang Zongyu time to leave the city, and when he was found at dawn, he committed suicide decisively, but he is also a man, by the way, Dashuai, why did you adopt Zhang Lexing's evil seed?" Aren't you worried that if your child grows up and learns the truth, the incident of Zhao's orphans will happen again? ”

Li Hongzhang waved his hand and said: "Ben Shuai is mainly for Zhang Zongyu, Zhang Zongyu is quite famous in Zhang Lexing's family, it is a variable, in case this person can't be killed, make some small moves in private, Ben Shuai can push the child out, one is Zhang Lexing's nephew, the other is Zhang Lexing's parent, even if Zhang Lexing's subordinates have the old master, they should also know who to be loyal to."

And the adoption of Zhang Lexing's young son can also prove from the side that we have a clear conscience, after all, none of us are dead here, it is not excluded that there will be doubts, as for the child, you don't have to worry, Zhang Lexing's poisoning of me has been made an iron case, he has been exposed to his father since he was a child, how is it not, it is too late to be ashamed, how can he choose the opportunity to bite back? Take a step back and say, even if that kid is unreasonable, but killing Zhang Lexing's whole family was an order from Mr. Binel, so what do we do? ”

"Hahahaha~~ Handsome and clever!" All of a sudden, the room was full of laughter, and everyone raised their fingers.

Li Hongzhang also smiled proudly, in fact, he didn't think about cultivating Zhang Lexing's young son at all, to deal with a small child, the means are simply varied, you can let him not learn well since he was a child, people are disgusted, a little older, and then let him contact with men and women, indulge in gentle township, and after his reputation is stinky, get two unclean women to come over, infected with syphilis, flower willow and other dirty diseases, and when the time comes, no one has anything to say.

Li Hongzhang's habitual eyes narrowed, a cold light bloomed, and then he smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, everyone pay attention, after all, we are still in the poisoning period, let's lie down honestly for two days, and then get out of bed after three days." ”

"Obey the instructions of the marshal!" Everyone held back their smiles and bowed their hands

Three days later, Li Hongzhang, who was slightly pale, was promoted to Bozhou, met and comforted the generals under the leaders of all walks of life, especially to Zhang Lexing's direct subordinates, and persuaded him with kind words, his simplicity and gentleness contrasted sharply with the rudeness and arrogance of Zhang Lexing and other leaders of the original twist army, and soon won the love of his subordinates, and also formally established his position as the leader of the Huai army.

And Wang Feng couldn't wait for the day when he married Sheng Xuanmei after all, the key was that he was too hasty, he didn't care, even if he didn't hold a ceremony to bring Sheng Xuanmei back to the Master of Nets Garden, he was willing, but the Sheng family couldn't do it, how could the marriage between the eldest granddaughter and the eldest grandson be so hasty, fortunately, Sheng Xuanhuai's sister and brother and the young lady of the Dong family were not very old, and it would be nothing to wait for another year or two, so they agreed to choose a good day on the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China and get together to get married.

Wang Feng stayed at the Taihu base for five days, working with technicians every day to study the manufacture of torpedo engines; after he felt that he had taught everything he should teach, he returned to Suzhou, where he stayed for another three days, and on 5 June he led some of the women's special troops and special combat personnel to Nanjing.

After a three-day stay in Nanjing, Wang Feng and others boarded the Li Guang, Yue Yun, Yang Zaixing, and several armed merchant ships respectively and headed up the Anqing against the current.

The waterway from Nanjing to Anqing was less than 300 kilometers, and all the ships had their sails folded and their engines were running at full power, and they arrived in Anqing in just two days.

Anqing is located on the north bank of the Yangtze River, easy to defend and difficult to attack, is the west gate of Nanjing, so since the end of the Ming Dynasty, the governor often holds the festival to guard Anqing, and from the 25th year of Qianlong, the Anhui political envoy also began to be stationed in Anqing, so Wang Feng does not take Hefei as the capital of Anhui Province, but also takes Anqing as the provincial capital, which has both economic considerations and historical reasons.

Wang Feng did not enter the city, but only docked with the ship, connected Shi Dakai, Zhang Suimou and Jiang Chaohui of the Seventh Army to General Li Guang, and ordered the armed merchant ships and Anqing ships to cross two divisions of the Seventh and Eighth Army to the opposite side of the river as soon as possible.

Jiujiang is located on the south bank of the Yangtze River, about 200 kilometers upstream of Anqing.

As soon as they got on the Li Guang, Shi Dakai and the others were like curious babies, looking east and west, with envy on their faces.

After a long time, Shi Dakai sighed with emotion: "Before he voted for the commander-in-chief, Shi never imagined that our China would build such a huge warship, which is almost the same as a foreigner's warship. ”

Yang Shuijiao hurriedly added: "Brother Shi, you are too outdated, these three battleships are more advanced than the foreigners, where, take a closer look at what is more on the artillery?" That's the retractor, which can stop the artillery from moving when it fires, and can increase the firing speed a lot, and if you look at the appearance, do you feel that it is full of streamlining" (to be continued......
