When he started drinking, Yang Fengchun was still talking and laughing with Zhong Wanxin, but after three rounds of drinking, Yang Fengchun's words gradually became less, and his eyebrows also showed a sad face, and he sighed for a long time.

'Big brother is worried about the war situation?' ‘

'Isn't it? The blade of this Qin army is on our necks. ‘

Yang Fengchun put down the wine glass in his hand heavily, "The combat strength of the Qin army is really amazing. In the first battle the day before yesterday, four times our army could not defeat half of the Qin army, and in the end we lost 3,000 elites, and even lost 20 steel cannons and a large number of shells. Giving the Tiger Wings!

What's going to happen next? ‘

Yang Fengchun completely lost confidence in victory. Although Zhong Wanxin knew that Zhang Shusheng was defeated, he didn't know the details of the situation, and after listening to Yang Fengchun's story, he was also drenched in cold sweat, and he was secretly glad that he was wise and took refuge in the Qin army early.

This is what the official said is invincible and undefeated, and it will be a draw. It's a complete defeat. Four times the enemy's strength could not gnaw at the Qin army for two thousand, while the two or three thousand Hunan troops that fought to block the attack were easily defeated by the main force of the Qin army.

'Qin's combat power is so strong, then Lin'an, no, it's the Qing Dynasty, isn't it dangerous? Zhong Wanxin pretended to be shocked on his face.

Yang Fengchun's face was gloomy, and he didn't answer, but only drank stuffy wine. First Guilin, Guangzhou, and then Fuzhou, together with the crippled Chu army, two days ago there was news that Nanchang also fell into the hands of the Qin army.

Liu Xianam's wave of troops is much more powerful than the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom that was like a rogue in the early days.

If it is said that a few years ago, there were still people who had deep doubts about whether Xin Qin could succeed or not. So now, with the change of hands in Fuzhou and Nanchang, with the cripple of the Chu army, and with the complete integration of the shipmaster and sailor division into the sequence of the Qin army's sailors, the lowest grade of the new Qin is to divide the southern kingdom and further dominate the world. On the other hand, on the Beijing side, whether the Manchus can still maintain half of the country in the north is a question.

Zhong Wanxin secretly said that the time had come, so he tentatively said: "Big brother, since the Qing Dynasty is in danger, how about surrendering to the Qin army?" ‘

"Yes, since the Qing Dynasty is not guaranteed, it is better to surrender to the Qin army...... Yang Fengchun didn't know if he was repeating this sentence, or if he was saying what was in his heart, and his tone was confused.

So the eldest brother agreed? ‘

Zhong Wanxin was stunned by surprise. thought that Yang Fengchun had the intention to join the Qin army, so he was busy.

'What did I promise?' Yang Fengchun's face turned slightly, and he looked straight at Zhong Wanxin, "Brother, don't you talk nonsense?" ‘

"Big brother, don't hide it, little brother, I didn't talk nonsense. Now that the Qing Dynasty is about to collapse, if you don't want to wait for death, the only way is to surrender to the Qin army. Zhong Wanxin's face was full of color.

Yang Fengchun looked at Zhong Wanxin with a shocked face, the wine just now turned into cold sweat, and he could see that Zhong Wanxin was not talking nonsense. It's really persuading yourself.

'You ......, you have already defected to the Qin army? Yang Fengchun looked at Zhong Wanxin vigilantly, and his left hand unconsciously hung down to his waist.

Zhong Wanxin still looked at ease, picked up the wine glass and drank it all, "Not bad." I've already got in touch with Qin Jun. At this point, he simply confessed his identity.

'Li Yangcai, Li Zongbing, Brother Yang finally knows, right? He is now a special envoy of the Great Qin Military Intelligence Department, and he entered Lin'an Mansion City half a month ago. ‘

The gong does not need to be hammered, and the smart man does not need to speak plainly. Yang Fengchun immediately understood the meaning.

'You're not afraid that I'll scream and leave you dead without a place to bury!?' Yang Fengchun said coldly. Zhong Wanxin shook his head, "Don't be afraid." I'm going to die, what's in it for big brother? That is to be recorded by Qin Jun. Will there still be people who have been booked by Qin Jun?

What kind of military attache is that little Japan in Fuzhou, what kind of thing is called milk wood, and the death can be called a miserable. He is not the only one, the seven officers of the little devil in Fuzhou are all dead. Only one named Fish went to Hangzhou one step earlier to escape!

Besides, I have been with my eldest brother these days, and I know that my eldest brother is a person who values friendship, and I can't bear to let my younger brother die. ‘

It's only been a few days, and now Zhong Wanxin can talk about these days without blushing. The faces of people in mixed officialdom are not ordinarily thick.

Yang Fengchun's face was ugly. Zhong Wanxin in the dog day, respectfully like a grandson in front of him, this is a fucking threat. But this threat, Yang Fengchun really didn't dare not eat.

It is no secret that the Qin army has a military intelligence department. During the Qin army's raid on Liangguang, Fujian, and Jiangxi, the top leaders of no less than 30 prefectures and counties emerged from the people. These people have different identities, some are small traders, some are big merchants, and they have nothing to do with the civilian system of the Qin army, and they have no connection with Shilin. They came from MIA.

Because of this, although the Qin Army's Military Intelligence Department is called 'Jinyiwei No. 2' and 'Dongchang No. 2', there are still many people who yearn for it. The reason lies in these official positions.

Although there are only a few parents who can sit here, more are still magistrates. But it has also made everyone look at the MI with admiration.

'How are you doing?' Yang Fengchun slammed his wine glass on the table.

Zhong Wanxin didn't answer immediately, got up and poured a glass of wine for Yang Fengchun and himself first, and then picked up the wine glass and said with a pleasant face: "Big brother, drink first." ”

Yang Fengchun picked up the wine and poured it directly into his mouth, and half of his stuffiness was discharged. He put down his glass and said in a dejected voice, "Tell me what you want me to do." ”

"Big brother, it's very simple." Zhong Wanxin whispered a few words into Yang Fengchun's ear, Yang Fengchun's face changed several times, and he nodded heavily: "Okay, then that's it." But I'm going to have to meet with Master Li before. ”

"Of course. Come, big brother, cheers for the success of our cooperation! ”

Zhong Wanxin's face bloomed with a smile. After this glass of wine, Yang Fengchun was completely from his side.

At dawn, the Qin army launched an attack on the position at the north gate of Lin'an City. The result, of course, was taken cleanly. Soon after, Zhang Shusheng ordered Yang Fengchun in the East Gate position to withdraw his troops and retreat into the city, and Yang Fengchun took the opportunity to meet Li Yangcai at Zhong Wanxin's house.

In the afternoon, the Qin army launched an attack on Lin'an City, and more than 2,000 people from Yang Fengchun, Zhong Wanxin, and Liu Jianghua counterattacked in Dongcheng, and the defense of the entire Lin'an City immediately opened the skylight. More than 10,000 Qing soldiers were caught off guard and were defeated. In the chaos, Chen Chaogang was killed, Tian Xingshu was captured, and Zhang Shusheng led more than 2,000 people to flee towards the West Gate, which seemed to have few troops. In Xiaoming Mountain, which is only six miles out of the city, the army was wiped out!

Zhang Shusheng was not in the formation.

But the eyes of the whole world are no longer focused on Zhang Shusheng's death, but on this battle of Lin'an. Liu Zhuo, the smallest 'thief chief' in the Qin Army's Fifth Route Soldiers, has been 'unknown' for half a year, and this shot shocked the world. This is the main force of nearly 20,000 Qing troops! Among them, there are 15,000 elite people in the Xianghuai army. In just a few days, the entire army was annihilated, and the casualties paid by the Qin army were small enough to make Liu Changyou and Li Hongzhang vomit blood.

With the help of "Ta Kung Pao", the results of the Battle of Lin'an spread all over the world within half a month, dealing another heavy blow to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

After the two battles of Fuzhou and Nanchang, the momentum of the Qin army suddenly rose by more than one level. Now that the Yungui side seems to have reached a 'turning point', then the victory of the Qin army in the entire south will not be far off.

In the third month of the lunar calendar, according to the statistics of the Ministry of Agriculture of the military government, many gentry and landlords in Guangdong have lowered their land rents, from a high level of more than 50% to 30% to 50%. In addition, the number of acres of hidden fields reported to the agricultural bureaus of various prefectures and counties has also increased from 100,000 mu at the beginning of the year to 2.2 million mu today. Although the total number of acres of this hidden field is still only a small number in comparison. After all, the cultivated land area of the whole Guangdong in later generations reached the grade of 100 million mu at the peak [excluding Lianzhou and Hainan]. At present, the number of registered acres of land in Guangdong Province is just over 50 million mu, which also includes Lianzhou and Hainan.

Liu Xian does not think that the development of Guangdong's cultivated land resources at this time is inferior to the peak of later generations. The difference of 100 years before and after is only in agricultural output and technology.

And this number can only show how big the folk hidden field is!

The Qing Dynasty was on the verge of exhaustion, and the government's control over the opposite side was rapidly declining, not to mention the flood rebellion in Guangzhou twenty years ago. There are too many opportunities for the local gentry to 'hide' the number of acres of their own fields.

Originally, these people were not optimistic about the Qin army and the new Qin.

Their vision does not allow them to see which side the winner will be at the beginning of the chaos. So no one dares to bet lightly.

It was not until the Qin army successively took Fuzhou and Nanchang that the former inflicted heavy losses on the Chu army, and the latter gave the Huai army a hard blow. It was at this time that Xinqin really won the confidence of the 'propertied people' in Guangdong.

Even though Ta Kung Pao had already reported that France had sent troops to the Far East. Whether it is to intervene in Vietnam or directly intervene in the Chinese war, who will win and who will lose this war is far from the time when the dust has settled. But some people are already adding weight to the balance of Xinqin.

Liu Zhuo's department, who perfectly took Lin'an, did not make persistent efforts to launch a new attack on Kunming. Instead, with Yang Fengchun, Zhong Wanxin, and Liu Jianghua as the battalion commanders, and a group of honest prisoners of war pulled out from the old units and prisoners of the three of them, they were disrupted and mixed, and with a part of the middle and grassroots officers of the Qin army and hundreds of non-commissioned officers, three independent battalions were formed to guard the areas of Lin'an and Guangnan.

The main forces of the Qin army, pulling artillery, along the waterway of the Red River, had already begun to turn back towards Vietnam.

The French fleet had already reached Ceylon, that is, Sri Lanka, and then crossed the Strait of Malacca, and this French army, which was powerful on both land and sea, could really threaten the security of Vietnam. Perhaps this force will go directly north to the South China Sea.

Liu Xian also returned to Guangzhou from Fuzhou. This would be an even more severe test for the Qin army than the Manchus. Liu Xian really didn't know much about naval warfare. In case the French warship directly killed the Guangzhou Bay...... R1152
