For Lin Fei, these two factories are very important, because at this time, the Huaxia army has penetrated into the hinterland of the Qing Dynasty, and the pressure of logistics and transshipment has increased sharply.

In the military factory in Hanyang, all the foreign technicians have been withdrawn, and the Qing technicians have been left, Zhang Zhidong originally wanted to take the Qing technicians away, but the Hanyang military factory has not shipped anything out, since the equipment has not been shipped out, it is meaningless to take away the technicians.

So Zhang Zhidong threw all the technicians in Hanyang, he didn't know, the equipment was easy to get, but the technicians were extremely difficult to get.

Lin Fei then ordered the Huaxia Army to organize all the technicians of the Hanyang Military Factory and the Iron and Steel Factory, and let them participate in training, which of course was sent by the factories of the Huaxia Empire.

Although Zhang Zhidong withdrew from Wuchang and Hanyang, he left a poisonous plan, he secretly ordered the Qing army to sneak into the mountains at the junction of Hunan and the border, lurk in the mountains, and wait for an opportunity to counterattack the Huaxia army.

This move is indeed extremely vicious, because the mountains in Hunan and Hubei are very steep, and the Huaxia army wants to search and eliminate the Qing army, and it does not want to succeed without paying heavy casualties.

In this regard, Wei Zelong sent a message to Lin Fei, asking Lin Fei to solve these Qing troops in this way, and Lin Fei quickly sent a telegram to Wei Zelong, telling him to ignore those Qing troops and continue to attack the cities controlled by the Qing army.

The Qing army hid in the mountains, and if they wanted to survive, they had to rely on the local people, and if they did not have the support of the local people, they would become trees without roots and fish without water, and they would naturally collapse at that time.

Wei Zelong then ignored the Qing troops hiding in the mountains, but commanded the troops, and continued to attack the cities under the control of the Qing army, Hunan, Hubei and other places Qing troops, heard that Wuchang Hanyang was lost, Zhang Zhidong fled to Sichuan in embarrassment, all lost their fighting spirit, abandoned the city and surrendered, and the Huaxia army occupied the entire territory of Hunan and Hubei without blood.

In the past month, the Huaxia army occupied the entire territory of Hunan and Hubei, and the areas controlled by the Qing court were only Sichuan, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, Western Desert Province and Western Plateau Province, which were all located on the first and second tiers, and the Huaxia army did not attack for a while.

On the Mongolian battlefield, Yu Ningshuang led the Mongolian troops to surrender and basically pacified the princes in Inner Mongolia who were loyal to the Qing court.

In terms of political bribery, Yu Ningshuang promised those princes that if they surrendered to Lin Fei now, they would be able to get Lin Fei's reward in the future, and if they did not submit to Lin Fei, then Lin Fei would kill them all, and the chickens and dogs would not be left.

Some of the princes of Inner Mongolia agreed to surrender, some were stubborn and refused to surrender, and some Yelang was arrogant and felt that Lin Fei was not afraid of him, he was not his opponent at all, and he was quite rude to Yu Ningshuang.

There was a prince of Inner Mongolia who saw that Yu Ningshuang was long and the country and the city had fallen, and he actually teased Yu Ningshuang in public, which made Yu Ningshuang's heart angry, drew his knife, and directly cut down the prince, and the subordinates of the prince of Inner Mongolia then surrendered.

Those princes of Inner Mongolia who were unwilling to surrender dispatched a large number of cavalry troops to fight a decisive battle with Yu Ningshuang, after all, Yu Ningshuang brought sixty artillery chariots of invasion, and the small cavalry could not help the artillery chariots of invasion in the slightest? Needless to say, the cavalry of the prince of Inner Mongolia was naturally defeated.

In the northeast of the Qing Dynasty, Japan and Russia were still entrenched in the northeast of the Qing Kingdom at this time, Lin Fei did not send troops to recruit them, and they did not send troops to fight the Huaxia Army, and the battle line was stalemate for a while.

On 2 November, in Xi'an, the provisional capital of the Qing court, Li Hongzhang gathered envoys from various countries to discuss the attack on the Huaxia Army while eating hot pot.

Don't look at the large area of the Qing country was taken away by Lin Fei, but the mood of the high-ranking officials of the Qing State to eat, drink and have fun has not diminished at all, this time Li Hongzhang invited the envoys of various countries to feast on the beef and mutton, all carefully selected, the fat can neither be too much, nor too little, to be just right, such meat, every fifty catties can be selected one catty.

There is also sesame paste, which is ground from carefully selected sesame seeds, and only one pound of sesame seeds can be selected for every twenty catties.

At the banquet, Li Hongzhang first said: "It has been five months since various friendly countries declared war with the Chinese Empire, and in these five months, my Qing Dynasty has lost countless national territories, but the reinforcements of various friendly countries seem to have no effect. ”

The envoys of various countries were ashamed when they heard the reproach in Li Hongzhang's words, and the Russian envoy sneered: "I think the person who should be most ashamed is the Japanese envoy, the Japanese Empire is so close to Shanhaiguan, but it has not launched an attack. ”

Since the Japanese 1st Division was destroyed by the invaded artillery tanks, the Japanese army did not dare to attack Shanhaiguan, and the Russian envoy had not forgotten the enmity with the Japanese back then, so he put it up straight to the point.

When the Japanese envoy heard the words of the Russian envoy, he did not show weakness and said in a cold voice: "Our first division of the Great Japanese Empire has been thrown in, and your country does not know what it has done. ”

The Russian envoy said angrily: "Our elite Cossack cavalry was completely annihilated by the Chinese army, and even the commander was captured, what do you say we did?" ”

The Russian envoy and the Japanese envoy were arguing like this, and the British envoy, the French envoy and others on the side sneered, and secretly laughed at the Japanese and the Russians in their hearts.

When the Russian envoy and the Japanese envoy saw the appearance of the British envoy and the French envoy, they woke up at this time, and the Russian envoy said coldly to the British envoy: "Mr. British envoy, you brought up our eighteen-nation alliance, and now you are watching us desperately, but you are not moving, what is the reason?" ”

The British envoy shrugged his shoulders, "Our navy has not arrived yet, and we have no choice, but your Russian navy, which is in Lushun at this time, has been holding its ground." ”

The Russian envoy blushed for a while, this is the truth, the Russian naval fleet defeated the Japanese fleet, besieged Arthur, after Japan and Russia reconciled, Japan agreed to the Russian fleet into Arthur to rest, it stands to reason that the Russian fleet should attack the Huaxia Army, but the Russians have their own plans in their hearts, that is, not to fight hard with the Huaxia Army, to retain strength.

When the Russian envoy heard that the British envoy had directly exposed the bottom of Russia, he hurriedly ridiculed each other and mocked: "Mr. British envoy, please don't hide in the glass house and throw stones at others (this is a Western proverb, the meaning is similar to 'the crow stands on the pig, you can see that others are black, but you can't see yourself black'), your British Empire occupies Burma, and Burma can border Yunnan, why don't you attack Yunnan through Burma, if you attack Yunnan, the Chinese army will inevitably divide its troops to resist, then the situation in Sichuan will be much easier." ”

The British envoy was also ashamed, and what the Russian envoy said was reasonable, if the British army attacked Yunnan from Burma, it would inevitably be able to effectively contain the Huaxia army, but the British army also wanted to retain its strength and did not want to fight hard with the Huaxia army.

Although these eighteen-nation coalition forces have a common enemy, Lin Fei, they are intrigued internally, each with their own evil intentions, and everyone wants to weaken the strength of others with the help of the Huaxia army.

Li Hongzhang laughed, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about these unpleasant things, I brought you here this time, just to hope that you can discuss the matter of attacking the Huaxia Army, Mr. Russian envoy, should your country's navy be dispatched?" ”

"Well...... "The Russian envoy hesitated for a while, "our navy will be dispatched at the right time." ”

Li Hongzhang looked at the Japanese envoy again and said with a smile: "Mr. Japanese envoy, is your country going to attack Shanhaiguan?" ”

The Japanese envoy frowned, "We will definitely attack Shanhaiguan, but not now, but after a period of time, when we have imitated the artillery chariots of invasion, we will attack the Huaxia Army." ”

Li Hongzhang asked with a smile: "How long is the period of time in your mouth?" ”

The Japanese envoy was confident: "Three months at most." ”

The envoys of all the countries present were trembling in their hearts, could it be that Japan could have imitated the artillery chariots of invasion in such a short period of time?

In fact, what the Japanese envoy said was not a big deal, and it was entirely because of the help of the United States that the United States sold Japan the engines and gasoline necessary for the artillery and combat vehicles (the engines sold by the United States were gasoline engines), which helped Japan to imitate the artillery combat vehicles.

However, the Japanese imitation of the invasion artillery chariot is the version full of errors, and the gap between this version and the original will be reflected on the battlefield.

At this time, the United States sold a large amount of industrial products and resources to Japan, and the thing that Lin Fei was most worried about before the war finally happened, that is, the United States took advantage of the opportunity of the Second World War in the South Seas to make a lot of war money and was growing into the most powerful country in the world.

The British envoy stood up at this time and said solemnly: "Our British Empire is the most powerful country in the world, so we must set an example, and I announce that our British Empire's army will launch an attack in Yunnan to contain the strength of the Chinese army." ”

Britain, Japan, and Russia all said that they would send troops to attack the Huaxia Army, and at this time, the French envoy stood up and said with a smile: "We have secretly contacted the old department of the Great Emperor of Vietnam, Nguyen Phuc Zhao, and are preparing to launch a mutiny in Vietnam to overthrow the rule of the Huaxia Empire in Vietnam. ”

Li Hongzhang's face instantly showed joy, Britain, Russia, Japan and France all took action, and my Qing Dynasty was finally saved. (Welcome to join the Canghai Readership Group - 423214695)
