Why did Li Hongzhang float on the sea?

Could it be that his ship is a luxury cruise ship?

In these years, sea navigation is still very risky, but if there is a little way, he Li Hongzhang will not do it.

Yes, he Li Hongzhang really has no way at all, and there is no one to fight this battle!

What is the current situation of Li Hongzhang?

He's a bare-bones commander!

You say you want soldiers, then he has some under him, this must be admitted, Huai Army, suppression, if he Li Hongzhang says that there are no soldiers, it is a lie, and he really has a lot of people under him, that is, there are many powerful people.

For example, Zhang Shusheng, Liu Mingchuan, Zhou Shengbo, Ding Ruchang...... These people are very capable of fighting, not mud!

However, you must know that money is needed to fight a war, and the crackdown has just ended, what can be done with this military salary?

Many people don't know, even the supreme rulers of the Qing court, who love the Xinjueluo family, and many of them don't know how the current Qing Kingdom fights.

How did the Taiping Army get flat? How is the twist cut?

The treasury of the Qing court has long been empty, and the silver she paid to foreigners is still owed, and the interest is slowly repaid, so where does the military expenses for these big battles come from?

Sell red tops!

It's the sale of official beards, and it's the military expenses that are obtained in this way!

As far as this official seller is concerned, this matter has started a long time ago, and Li Hongzhang does not care about this history, but he knows the disadvantages of this matter, and it can be said that the harm is endless.

The simplest piece of logic. These red tops are for sale. The people who buy them are officials. So they paid the cost, do they have to recover this cost?

How to take it back? Scrape the ground!

To put it bluntly, it is the common people who pay in the end, and this is a war, in the process of fighting, there is no lower limit for looting, and all kinds of nonsense. Li Hongzhang has really seen and heard a lot of all kinds of crazy methods, but can he Li Hongzhang stop it?

If you want to fight, you have to do it! If you want to build merit, you have to do it! If you want peace in the country, you have to do it!

Well, just do it, and it's over. But right now, this time it's going to Vietnam!

How did you go about looting Vietnam? How did the imperial court issue this red top?

Does someone know about a county in Vietnam?

Yes. Even if the imperial court can send it out, let's even if it is like this, but how can this red-capped money be scavenged back?

That's Vietnam, it's much poorer than the Qing Dynasty, and it's a poor mountain and bad water, how can you scrape this land!

Speaking of which, that is, no one will buy these red tops at all, and when the Taiping Army was in the past, when they were twisted, they had already issued too many red tops, and if you go back to Vietnam to fight France, it is impossible for the imperial court to send you domestic red tops.

Therefore, Li Hongzhang actually understood early on that this battle had no chance at all, and he couldn't fight it at all, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to London to suffer that crime, but now he was asked to supervise the Vietnam War, so what should I do?

Li Hongzhang used a method, drag!

At the beginning, he was dragging at home, he could drag it for a day, and then he dragged it in the army, what army did not move the grain and grass first, what messy reasons, anyway, his Huai army just didn't move, but in the end it really couldn't be delayed, and the prince was going to kill him, so Li Hongzhang ran to the sea and drifted.

When you get to the sea, then Prince Naturally Alcohol can't come, right? If he loves the Xinjue Luo family, can he still kill the upper and lower levels of the Lao Li family?

So, this move is really good, but however, this move is good for Li Hongzhang, but what about the current situation?

The French don't care if you Li Hongzhang doesn't come, they will stop, this is absolutely impossible, so since the Manchu side has responded to the battle, since the surrender faction of Prince Gong has been ousted, then you have to fight.

If Li Hongzhang doesn't fight, then Prince Alcohol will also have to fight!

However, Prince Alcohol found out about the current situation, and he was not stupid, so he soon found out that there was really no way to fight this battle!

Does the current Qing Kingdom still have the strength to fight with France? That's a joke!

Prince Alcohol found that his brother was not a surrenderer, and the Great Qing Kingdom was indeed not good now, and his so-called 'Zhibing' was able to lead troops, which was actually quite nonsense, that is, at the time of the Xinyou coup, he brought a team of people over, and he didn't do anything at all, he didn't fight, and it was over there.

But this thing...... There is no turning back when the bow is opened!

You Prince Alcohol came to power because Prince Gong avoided war, you said that people don't fight, so you came up, so you kid is cowardly now?

Prince Alcohol didn't have a problem, he went to the Empress Dowager Cixi, but Cixi's opinion was very simple, there was no way to fight!

Actually, it is obvious that Cixi and Prince Alcohol are now wearing a pair of pants, of course, in fact, this matter is a bit wrong, Prince Alcohol's wife is Cixi's own sister. This is also why, Prince Alcohol would stab his own brother.

But the current situation, that is, there are difficulties to go up, there is no suffering, and there are difficulties to create!

Shangbei, Li Hongzhang is grinding there, so he will find someone else.

Who?

Li Hongzao!

This guy was so loud before, he was the one who scolded Prince Gong for avoiding the war the most, so now no one is going, you Li Hongzao is such a main battle faction, then you don't want to 'supervise the war in Vietnam'?

Li Hongzao said...... This is a personal life!

He is a serious Jinshi who has taken the examination, when did Li Hongzao fight? He is just when others are fighting, he is blind to BB ability, saying this and scolding that, Qingliu, this guy is still a high-ranking figure in Qingliu, and he scolds people by changing the law!

But how can Qingliu go to war?

So, Li Hongzao is the same, pretending to be sick and can't come out!

This trick is not bad, at least Li Hongzao has dodged, but don't forget, you Li Hongzao can dodge, how can this Qing Kingdom dodge the past?

So, after beating the king of Vietnam to his knees and begging for mercy. Soon the muzzle was turned. French warships appeared along the coast of the Manchus.

Bang! Bang!

Half an hour of shelling. The newly established Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, that is, the one supervised by Zeng Guofan, met with Li Hongzhang here before, and after the shelling, it was a ruin!

The actions of the French army are in line with the international norms at this time, that is, the current state of the Manchu Qing is declaring war with France, so how can they fight because your Manchu generals did not play. Where are the French watching?

It's impossible!

And looking at it this way, I can't fight anymore, the foreign affairs that have just improved a little bit, this time I was hit almost by the ruin, fortunately, the old man Zeng Guofan, who supervised the foreign affairs, is fine, and the people are fine.

So what now?

Seeing that it can't be fought, there is only one way, negotiate!

So what do the French say?

"We want Taiwan's ......"

"We want Taiwan's ......"

"We want Taiwan's ......"

Just this sentence, these guys are saying it back and forth over and over again.

This thing. This is land cutting, so who can call the shots?

Alcohol Prince one total. Let's just talk about it, it's not a solution, you have to fight!

Thereupon......

Bang! Bang!

There was another burst of artillery, and the Tang GU was blown up!

It looks like the old story of the second YA movie war is going to be repeated, so what can I do?

I had no choice but to return to the negotiation table, and then this time, I was really helpless, not only lost 100 million taels of silver, but also ceded the treasure island......

This land cut, I really don't want to cut it, as far as the Manchu Qing Dynasty is concerned, they can say anything else, but they really don't want to cut the land, but now it's really no rut, no rut at all.

As a result, Bazin's expedition to the Far East was a great success, and before the negotiations were over, Napoleon III of France crowned Bazin as the marshal of the French Empire!

And the treasure island was lost like this, just this matter, why do they French want the treasure island?

In fact, Li Mengyang has studied this matter, and according to some information in hand, there are several reasons for this, one of which is that Treasure Island is really a treasure island at this time, and it is very rich.

How rich is it?

There is a saying on the treasure island now, called money drowning feet!

Hey, yes, that's just such a sentence, Li Mengyang remembers, he traveled through the past, sometimes he saw the treasure island compatriots bragging on the Internet, and he liked to say this, but it seems to be the treasure island in the 80s of the next century, when the treasure island happened to take off economically.

But I didn't expect it, it turns out that there is such a saying on Treasure Island now, which shows the wealth of this place.

The reason why this is so is mainly because the geographical location of Baodao is very good, and it can be used as a cargo transit center in the Far East, and the Dutch did this in the past, including the Zheng family later, and the key is that this center should do business with the Qing Kingdom!

But don't forget, the current Manchu Qing has opened the door, their customs are controlled by the British, and the previous treaty, then the French can enjoy a lot of preferential treatment.

So, if you look at it this way, the French are not stupid at all, they got such a good place, then it can really make up for their loss in Mexico.

But if let's take a good look at the occurrence of this qiē, it seems that the appearance of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is simply incredible, and it is because of the internal political struggle to sacrifice the interests of the entire country, the key is that they are all people who love the Xinjueluo family......

So many things have happened in the Far East, but in Europe, there are also many changes, and the one who feels these changes most directly is the British.

What's changed?

The British found that some businesses didn't feel right, and it was a little strange!

These businesses are either done with others or with the American Empire, and these businesses seem to be losing money from the British, but they don't seem to be ......

How so? (To be continued......)
