Korea will enter the territory of the northeast, and will no longer exist as a vassal state, which is the strategy formulated by Wang Yi. North Korea is a country of dogs and wolves for China. Or for a dog, wagging his tail and begging for mercy, or for a wolf, not a husky.

Of course, North Korea is different from the vast territory that the Northeast has expanded before, and it has a much larger population, so there are many more problems. However, because of Andong's existence, a large number of North Korean female textile workers have already begun to work in the northeast, and at the same time, the factories also use the evening time to conduct Chinese language training, so the integration of northern Korea has actually begun early.

Zhao Ningxia's first decree was to respond to the Japanese threat and request the Northeast Autonomous Region to send troops to station. Wang Yi directly got two divisions, and then began to build bases in various places, and at the same time began to recruit Korean soldiers. And the Navy began to officially station in Busan, Incheon, Wonsan, to build military ports and shipyards.

Second, a new government will be formed, and recruitment examinations will be conducted nationwide, and those who will be recruited on the basis of merit will be recruited on the basis of merit, and then they will receive training in the northeast.

The third is to build a railway network connecting Andong and Vladivostok, which would have been fully opposed by the major parties, but these old-fashioned old men have now become the ghosts of Kim Yujun's men. And the rest of the people, under the full suppression of Zhao Ningxia, Kim Yun-sik, and Yu Yun-jung, have lost their former momentum. Therefore, there is no need to worry.

Fourth, open up new schools, select young people to study in Northeast China, promote Chinese language education, and make Chinese the official language.

Article 5 A new type of taxation system in line with the Northeast Autonomous Region shall be established.

Article 6 Encourage the development of industry and commerce. Recruit people to work in the Northeast and export labor services.

Article 7 Popularize new types of agriculture and animal husbandry.

Article 8: Representatives of the people shall be selected to visit the Northeast for tourism and promote people-to-people exchanges.

Now all countries can see that North Korea is going to join the Northeast Autonomous Region. There is now a mixed narrative within North Korea, with those who agree and rejoice, and those who oppose it, but more ordinary North Koreans are watching from the sidelines.

Wang Yi doesn't care about watching from the sidelines, once the chain of interests is established, the relationship will also be established, supplemented by corresponding policies, coupled with convenient land transportation exchanges. In this era of railways and airships, Korea was very close to the northeast, and it was closer to most places than the Qing Dynasty.

Regarding the matter of Korea, the Qing court did not want to get along with the northeast, because the south still had to rely on the so-called Nanyang Fleet. The 1,500 people who were originally in Korea have now all been withdrawn, and even Yuan Shikai has been transferred to the North Vietnam battlefield.

Half a year later, Zhao Ningxia officially announced his application to join the Northeast, and later* after Yang Qiuxing and the Political Council discussed and agreed, and then deliberated on the people* of that year, and finally obtained Tongguò. Since then, North Korea has become part of the Northeast Autonomous Region, and Cho Nin-ha has become the honorary vice premier of the Northeast Autonomous Region.

These things are just logical and natural, and Wang Yi didn't ask too much. At this time, he was talking to the two girls about the Berlin West Africa Conference.

"Why did the British invite us to this meeting in the first place?" Shen Yazhi leaned into Wang Yi's arms and asked strangely.

"It's not our antibiotics that make a fuss, but because we gave them quotas, the British invited us."

Qianjia looked at Wang Yi with a look of disbelief.

Wang Yi laughed at this time, hugged the girl's little waist, and said, "Okay, in fact, here's the thing, my ally in the United States, Jack Sparrow, once funded a person a few years ago. His name was John Lorraine, but later changed his name to what is now Henry Morton Stanley. ”

"What does this man do?"

"He is British-American, a journalist by profession at the New York Herald. Famous for traveling to Africa to search for the missing adventurer David Livingstone. From 1874 to 1877, he set out from Zanzibar and penetrated deep into the mainland, around Lake Victoria, to Lake Tanganyika, across the Lualaba River, down the Congo River, through Uganda and other places, to the south coast of the Atlantic Ocean. In 1878, the so-called International Congo Association was established in Europe, with the initial goal of focusing on the economic development of the Congo region, but it was later bought by King Leopold II of Belgium and became an expansion organization under the guise of charity. Now, of course, this king is also one of our collaborators. ”

Wang Yi got up at this time, took a map from the desk on the side, and then pointed it out to the two girls, and said: "In 1879, Stanley returned to the Congo, this time not for exploration, but as a spy of Leopold II, seeking to establish a Congolese state. At the same time, the French naval officer Pierre61 Savognão 61 de Brazza arrived on the west bank of the Congo Basin and established a French colony in Brazzaville (present-day Kinshasa, the capital of the Republic of the Congo) in 1881. Portugal, on the other hand, signed a treaty with Britain on February 26, 1884, because it had signed a treaty with the Congolese Empire, hoping to prevent the Congolese Association from expanding its coastline to the Atlantic. In addition to the above countries, other continental countries also wanted to establish colonies in Africa. France occupied Tunisia and the territory of the present-day Republic of the Congo in 1881 and Guinea this year. In 1882, the British occupied Egypt, which was nominally part of the Ottoman Empire, and thus seized Sudan and part of Somalia. In 1870 and 1882, Italy won Eritrea. Germany also added Togo, Cameroon and South-West Africa (present-day Namibia) to its protectorate this year. ”

"So what's the benefit of us coming to the conference?" The two girls are now accustomed to Wang Yi's thinking, and if it is no good, he will not go.

"At the Berlin Conference, Leopold II succeeded in convincing France and Germany about trade in Africa. At the initiative of Portugal, German Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck invited Austria-Hungary, Belgium, Denmark, Russia, France, the Netherlands, Portugal, Sweden and Norway (Norway belonged to Sweden until 1905 as a confederation), Spain, Italy, Great Britain and the Ottoman Empire, and a total of 14 of us to the Berlin Conference to reach a consensus. But it's the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Portugal that really play the leading role. The first thing to be addressed at the conference was the Congo issue, and we are special in this regard. Because we have good relations with England and good relations with Germany, but we have hostile relations with France. We actually own 40% of the interests of Belgian Leopold II in the Congo, because we are one of the main sponsors of Sir Henry Morton's exploration of Africa. ”

"So, we have territories in Africa?"

Wang Yi shook his head and said, "No, we can't reach that far for the time being." ”

"That's a pity......" The two girls didn't have the slightest consciousness of becoming the leader of the *.

"It's no shame, although we can't get territory, we can do a lot of things with the chips in our hands. Now Franco-Belgian and Portuguese are at odds over the Congo (present-day Zaire) basin. Britain supported Portugal's demands, but Germany and France opposed them, and these countries were wary of British expansion in Africa. ”

"I hear that the relationship is a bit messy, we were invited by England, and he played against France and Belgium with Portugal. And we are hostile to France, but we are developing alliances with Belgium......"

"That's it...... However, this Berlin conference should not be fruitful this year, and next year will be about the same. ”

Wang Yi was very calm about Africa, but in reality it was not. At least in Madagascar, Wang Yi got in touch with the local leader Reinile Arivoni through the Guò Qichang Foreign Company, providing military equipment, weapons and ammunition, and also sending people for military training to resist the French colonial invasion. In return, Madagascar sent large quantities of primary agricultural products to the Northeast, as well as graphite. Of course, the most popular thing for the two girls is all kinds of gems.

In addition to this, Wang Yi obtained the consent of the Boers, the British, and the Germans in 1882 in Azania, which later became South Africa. The current capital of the Transvaal Republic, 33 kilometres northeast of Pretoria, has acquired land in an area of more than 400 square kilometres. The price is fifty thousand pounds! At the same time, the big merchants provided a large number of special medicines, including aspirin, various antibiotics and insulin, and built a new hospital. In recent years, the price of Dashang's drugs abroad was about the same as that of gold. Of course, for safety, Wang Yi still sent an insurance team of about 2,000 people, equipped with considerable heavy firepower. Save some people from being too red-eyed and doing something out of the ordinary. In addition to this, there are more than 10,000 civilians.

This area, known as Plemir, is a world-famous super-large diamond deposit, the largest kimberlite rock pipe in South Africa, and is famous for producing the 3,106-carat light blue diamond Cullinan and the 599-carat centennial diamond.

In addition to Plimir, Wang Yi bought more than 300 square kilometers of land in the upper Vaal River in 1879 in the name of the British merchant Charles Fama, which was extremely cheap, and has now returned to Wang Yi and is being cultivated as a farm. The insurance team sent by Wang Yi there has increased from 500 people at the beginning to a small 3,000 people now, and the civilian population is also close to 20,000, and the scale is still expanding day by day. The grain produced from here supplied the nearby British, Boers, and Germans. Of course, as long as you can afford it, the big merchants will sell it. Because the price is reasonable and fair, it is welcomed by all local forces.

It also had a name in later generations – Johannesburg.

Wang Yi's goal this year is to connect two neighboring African territories, and work is underway.

Unlike the colonial rule of European countries, Wang Yi's great merchants pursued a foreign policy of equality and mutual benefit in Africa. Although he is not a good person, he stands out from the crowd among a group of European bandits. Therefore, it also won the favor of the local black people in Africa, and because the Great Merchants did not have the slightest claim to African territory, at least not on the surface, the Boers were not wary of the Great Merchants. In general, big business is doing well in Africa, and all actions are related to commercial agriculture. In just over a year, the two aforementioned diamonds have been found in Premir and both have been safely returned to China. Adhering to the ancient adage that money is not leaked, this matter will definitely not be announced in the short term. As for the gold mine in Johannesburg, Wang Yi has no plans to mine it in the short term, and as for when it will be mined, let's talk about it after the navy can drive it.

On December 24, 1884, Wang Yi took two girls to attend a Christmas dinner held by a group of foreigners in the Yàn room of Dashang Industry. Today, the total number of scientific researchers in the industrial real estate room is close to 10,000, involving all aspects of scientific and technological development, three-quarters of them are foreigners, and three-quarters of these people have joined the Northeast Autonomous Region. At present, there are 2,000 foreigners queuing up to apply to join, only Wang Yi knows.

Now Christmas has also had the atmosphere of the afterlife, and the Chinese, as a joyful nation, can basically live a foreign festival regardless of any place. Of course, there are many people who say Merry Christmas to Muslims.

Shen Yatou is now holding a charity fundraiser, and she is now pushing all the things of the Dashang Bulb Factory on Tong Qianjia, and she is fully committed to the charity of the Red Heart Society. The establishment of hope primary schools in Northeast China, the establishment of hospitals, the support of poor families, the abstinence of smoking and drugs, and so on. In short, everything related to public welfare, the girl will fully participate. Her current social prestige even faintly has a tendency to surpass Yang Qiuxing, the premier of the Northeast Autonomous Region. In the mouths of the people, I don't know when it started, and gradually got the nickname of the red heart lady.

On this occasion today, of course, Shen Yatou can't miss the opportunity to develop her own philanthropy, so she is very active as soon as she comes. Foreigners are very supportive of this, and the amount of donations continues to increase, but it is only a little more than an hour. The total donation has reached the scale of 30,000 silver dollars, far exceeding Wang Yi's expectations.

Qian Jia smiled at this time: "Sir, I have worked hard for a month in Dashang Lighting now, and the money I have earned back is only 500,000 silver dollars." But Sister Yazhi has only been able to get 30,000 silver coins for a long time. ”

Wang Yiyi smiled and said, "Okay, don't envy her." By the way, how is your gas laser project going? ”

Upon hearing this, Qianjia was a little depressed and said, "I'm still doing it, it's so troublesome!" ”

"It's okay, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, there will always be a breakthrough."

The two talked for a while, and then Chu Yuan said that Prime Minister Yang Qiuxing had called. Wang Yi wondered, how did this product make a call to the industrial room.

"I'm Wang Yi!"

"Hello sir."

"What are you looking for me? Don't say you're trying to tell me Merry Christmas. "Yang Qiuxing is Wang Yi's literary student, so Wang Yi is never polite when he talks to him in private.

"Merry Christmas, Sir!" Yang Qiuxing deliberately joked with Wang Yi.

"Don't come useless, get down to business."

"Yes...... Be...... It's ......" Yang Qiuxing laughed at this time, and Wang Yiyi felt ill-intentioned. I only heard him say: "At the beginning of this month, didn't we help North Korea put down the coup d'état of the Kaihua Party!" ”

"Hmm!"

"The prisoner over there, Zhao Ningxia, now doesn't know how to eat and can't sleep, I'm afraid that we will play with all the birds, hide the good bow, die of the cunning rabbit, and cook that set of lackeys. Later, in order to calm his heart, Kim Sik-young, the general manager of the North Korean branch of Dashang, gave him an idea......"

"What's the idea?" Wang Yi's feeling of uneasiness became stronger and stronger.

Yang Qiuxing laughed.

"What do you mean by this fun? Could it be that they are still bribing me? ”

"Worthy of a gentleman! Just guess it! Yang Qiuxing sighed.

"Bribe what? Give money...... I wipe my tears, it won't be beauty! ”

Yang Qiuxing burst into laughter and said, "After Zhao Ningxia collected from North Korea, he found four girls and sent them to you!" ”

"What?"

"I guess it's in your office now...... Enjoy, sir! After that, Yang Qiuxing hung up the phone directly.

Nima, isn't it a cheat? I didn't know I already had two at home! You can get one, huh? Who can stand so many people?

Returning to Tong Qianjia's side, Shen Yazhi also ended the fundraising, and she seemed very happy. But looking at Wang Yi's expression, he said strangely: "What's wrong with you, what's wrong?" ”

Wang Yi thought about it and didn't hide it, so he said it in 1510.

"In order to feel at ease, Zhao Ningxia, the governor of North Korea, found four ...... from them"

"Four what?" Sometimes I have to admire the intuition of women in this regard. Before Wang Yi could say the second half of his sentence, he immediately felt a murderous aura rushing to the sky.

"Girl!"

The expected violent beating did not appear, and of course there was no bitter tragedy, and the two girls were more curious. But Wang Yi is more disappointed......

"I said you two aren't jealous?" The two girls smiled and shook their heads.

"Don't feel distressed?"

"Why do you feel distressed?" Shen Yazhi's expression was intriguing.

"Your future husband and I are going to sacrifice my life for the country!"

The two girls smiled and bent over, and said, "A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory." ”

After the party, the two girls obviously had more curiosity about the four girls sent by North Korea than Wang Yi. Wang Yi told the truth and did not have the slightest expectation. In terms of the aesthetic level of this era, he has learned from old photos. Plus the traditional Korean looks...... When Wang Yiyi closed his eyes, he was a spirit.

After returning to the school office, Kim Ji-young is waiting here! As soon as he saw Wang come back, the goods immediately greeted him and said with a smile: "I've seen Mr." ”

Wang Yi didn't know what to say about him, so he waved his hand.

At this time, Jin Zhiying began to salute the two girls again, and said, "I've seen two young ladies." ”

"Excuse me, excuse me, what about the newcomers?" Shen Yazhi asked with a smile.

"In the house." As soon as Kim Sik-young opened the door, there were four girls dressed in traditional Korean costumes sitting inside.

Wang Yi glanced at it and found that he was not very old, fourteen or fifteen years old, and he looked ...... Well, Kim Sik Young is a good kid! I like it!

As soon as the four girls saw Wang Yi walking in, and Jin Zhiying was followed behind them, they immediately knew his identity, got up and saluted, but they didn't expect to speak Chinese, and said in unison: "The slave has seen the adult!" ”

Wang Yiyi frowned and said, "Don't let them call themselves slaves and maids in the future, just say your own name." ”

"Yes, sir." Kim Zhiying knows Wang Yi's temper and has no hobby of playing abuse. Turning around, he turned to the four girls and said, "Tell the chairman about your name." ”

"Slave Kim Yoon-a." "Slave Lim Tae-hee." "Slave Han Xiujing." "Slave Jiang Jiaren."

The other three girls didn't dare to look at Wang Yi, only the first one Jin Yuna peeked. However, when he saw that Wang Yi was also looking at himself, he immediately lowered his head in fright, his face was red, and his heart was like a deer. Wang Yi wore a casual suit that he custom-made according to the styles of later generations, but it looked a little nondescript in this era.

The four girls Chunlan Qiuju have their own strengths, and it is really difficult for Zhao Ningxia to choose, and it is estimated that she is afraid that she will not be able to grasp Wang Yi's taste, so she came to the same one.

"Do they speak Chinese?" Shen Yatou and Tong Qianjia walked in at this time, looking up and down at the four girls in front of them, completely in the style of a woman.

"It's just a little bit, and I'm still learning." Kim Sik Young replied respectfully. He didn't dare to show that he was too public, after all, he sent a girl to Mr. today, and if one was not good, he would offend the two in front of him.

"That's it!"

"Miss, don't worry, their language is trained by a special person."

"Literate?"

"I'm also learning."

"Language and writing need to be tightened." Shen Yazhi said: "Why do you have to learn Chinese first, otherwise you won't be able to go to school to study." ”

"Yes! The subordinates will step up. ”

"Then let them go home with us first." Qianjia said at this time.

"Yes!"

Wang Yi was a little dumbfounded on the side, and said in his heart, what does this mean? I haven't made a decision yet, but these two girls have settled?

"What else is wrong with sir?" Seeing Wang Yi's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Shen Yazhi said strangely.

Wang Yi thought about it and forgot it.

Now Wang Yizao no longer lives in the school, the school is very large, and people living in it are not quiet. Later, in order to pat Wang Yi's ass, the general manager of Dashang Construction insisted on a place more than ten miles away from the industrial real room. Divert the water of the nearby river to expand a huge lake, and there is only one island in it, which is called: Ning Island.

It was heavily guarded, and all the soldiers carefully selected from the Great Merchant Insurance Corps were on duty, equipped with all kinds of modern weapons from Il-76, with a total number of 300 people, all of whom were Wang Yi's personal guards. There is also an air base and an army base not far away. The Air Force has a reconnaissance airship on guard 24 hours a day in the vicinity in case of a problem. The Air Force can be on the scene in ten minutes, while the Army is only fifteen minutes.

After going to the island, the four North Korean girls followed behind Shen Yazhi and Tong Qianjia, following in unison, all a little nervous, and no one dared to speak.

Wang Yi and Kim Sik Young talked about North Korea and walked slowly behind.

"Now that North Korea has the 3rd Infantry Division and the 3rd Artillery Division, you go back and ask Xi Benxiong to recruit a new infantry division from the North Koreans."

"Yes!" Kim Sik Young held a small notebook and recorded Wang Yi's words.

"The total number of people does not exceed 16,000 people, and the preparation of two guns in two steps. At the same time, it is necessary to educate all soldiers in the Chinese language. After a year, an infantry division was recruited. ”

"This ...... Isn't it a bit much? At present, the economic capacity of the DPRK does not seem to be enough to afford such a large number of troops......"

"No problem, you can rest assured that you will expand the recruitment, I have already agreed with Premier Yang Qiuxing that in the annual national defense budget, the DPRK will carry out special subsidies."

"Two divisions, this money will not be less!"

Wang Yi shook his finger and said with a smile: "Wrong, it's not two divisions, but one division is recruited every year, and finally the scale of four divisions of the army must be reached!" ”

Kim Sik-young was taken aback, thought about it, and immediately understood. "Sir, are you going to point your sword at Dongying?"

"Could it be that they are still kept?"

Kim Sik Young thought about it, then nodded firmly. "Doing so will never come again!"

"In the future, Xi Benxiong will be the commander-in-chief of North Korea, and you will be in charge of economic work. I will ask Zhao Ningxia and Kim Yun-sik to cooperate with you, and if you have any requirements, just mention them. ”

Jin Zhiying thought about it for a moment and said, "Can you send us more people?" ”

"Yes!"

"Also, before the construction of the railway is completed, can the air route be established first?"

"The airlines have their own plans in this regard, I can help you get in touch, and as for the specific things, you have to talk about it yourself."

Kim Sik Young nodded.

"You also have to understand the airlines, now the Autonomous Region is at war with the Tsarists in the north, where a lot of material supplies are needed, and the railway capacity is currently limited, so a lot of the airlines' capacity is being used there as a supplement. Of course, the idea that you want to build air freight is also good. At present, the DPRK is primitive and backward, and when they see our airship, it is estimated that the ordinary people will have a little more centripetal force and awe for our autonomous region in their hearts. ”

"What the gentleman said is very true, and I think so too."

"I'll try to coordinate this for you." Wang Yi thought about it and said: "At present, I still have some projects in hand, many of which require a lot of manpower for production, you can pick a few and bring them back to build a factory in North Korea." Don't treat the workers over there too badly, you know? ”

"Yes, sir."

When the two were talking, Shen Yazhi and Tong Qianjia had already entered the large new glass greenhouse with the four girls, this building was no different from the legendary crystal palace in the eyes of the four North Korean girls, which was full of exotic flowers and plants, rockery ponds, and extraordinary scenery. But before a few girls could enjoy the scenery inside, they were confronted with several big dogs, including huskies, golden, chow chows, and labradors. All kinds of strange big dogs make the four girls look discolored.

Shen Yatou looked back and smiled: "Don't be afraid. Saying that, he played with a few big dogs, and Qianjia also ran over.

At this time, two people walked out from the side door of the main building, a man and a woman, both of whom were middle-aged and dressed as Western-style housekeepers. Among them, the man is an Englishman, tall and very imposing, although he is speaking Chinese, but his voice is very nasal. The woman is from the Qing Dynasty, and she should have been quite charming when she was young, but now she has a little less expression on her face and looks a little stern.

"Mademoiselle is back." The two gave gifts to Shen Yazhi and Tong Qianjia.

"Fran is a good housekeeper, and Hanyun is a good housekeeper." The two girls returned the gift to the two housekeepers.

Wang Yi is now considered corrupt, and has hired an English butler in his family, while Hanyun came out of the palace and later received an aristocratic education in Europe. She is one of a group of etiquette masters specially trained by Dashang, and now she has become Wang Yi's housekeeper, and her status is naturally extraordinary.

"Master!" The male and female stewards also gave gifts to the king.

Wang nodded and said, "These four girls were sent from North Korea by the Korean prison state, you can help arrange the room." In addition, all the necessary learning is taken care of by the Hanyun steward. ”

"Yes!"

The four girls were arranged in this way, don't look at the Wang family is quite big, but in fact, there are not many people, and the guards are also on the periphery of the island and do not come to the inner courtyard. So even on Christmas Eve, the whole estate is usually very quiet.

The main building is a three-storey new building, which looks simple and elegant. There is a Christmas tree in the main hall, which is very beautiful. Several servants were setting up the tableware, and when they saw Wang Yi and others, they all gave gifts.

The new girls were obviously very curious about the place, looking around, a little nervous, but also shocked by the luxury of the place.

There are female language teachers who come with us, so communication is not a problem. Under the leadership of Han Yun, the four girls went to change their clothes, after all, they were wearing hanbok, and it looked a little awkward to spend Christmas.

Wang Yihui took a shower in his room, and then changed into loose civilian clothes, which was also the style of later generations.

After dinner, Wang Yi talked to Jin Zhiying for a while in the company of Frande, because of the fatigue of the journey, it didn't take long for Jin Zhiying to show sleepiness, so Wang Yi let him go to sleep. After that, he went to the study alone and copied things from the still living tablet, which he had been doing for almost ten years, but 2 terabytes of data really could not be copied in a short time.

After seeing the lights out in the room of the two girls, Wang Yi sneaked into their room and put the gift in the big socks at the end of their bed, which is also a regular program every year.

Life went on peacefully, and after a month, the girl from North Korea was able to have some simple conversations. They found that the male owner of their house did not seem to be the same as the legend in the outside world, and the chairman of the Great Shang was so obedient in the Northeast and even in the entire Qing Dynasty. The girls originally thought that Wang Yi was an old man, but in fact, even Zhao Ningxia thought so. But after meeting Wang Yi, the girls realized that they were very wrong. The ordinary-looking boy in front of him is Wang Yi, the chairman of Dashang, and the hybrid of the God of Wealth and Hades.

Because he couldn't communicate, Wang Yi didn't say anything to these girls. The Korean language he knows, except for Anihasa, is even, Charangyi, and the like, which is obviously not suitable for talking to the little girls, otherwise it will ruin his tall image.

That night, after Wang Yi finished copying an important paper on genetics, he stretched his waist and let out a long breath, and left the study after the activity. There are two lights on in the hallway, so it is slightly dim. Wang Yi faintly heard a cry as he passed by the North Korean girls' rooms. I couldn't help but move in my heart, looked at the door of that room, and thought about it carefully, it should be the room of the girl named Han Xiujing.

This girl looks a little similar to Kim Tae-hee in later generations, but she is a little more beautiful.

After thinking about it, the king knocked on the door, and then pushed it in.

The girl obviously didn't expect Wang Yi to come in, and was taken aback, so she immediately reacted and gave Wang Yi a salute.

"Xiujing has seen the master."

There was no light on in the room, but the curtains were not drawn, and the moonlight came in, shining on the face of the girl by the window, the silver halo was very hazy, but it gave Wang Yi a strange illusion, as if he had seen the female elf in the Lord of the Rings.

Wang Yi closed the door casually, and this action obviously made the girl's body tremble.

Wang Yi didn't pay attention to himself, came to the girl's side gently, reached out to help her wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then pulled the girl to sit down on the edge of the bed.

"Why are you crying?"

Han Xiujing lowered her head and didn't dare to speak.

"Homesick?"

The girl seemed to understand this sentence and nodded.

Wang Yi stood up at this time, walked to the window, looked at the moon in the sky, and sighed.

"I'm homesick too."

The girl thought she had misheard, so she had a puzzled look on her face.

Wang Yi turned around, leaned against the windowsill, and said with a smile: "Who else is in your family?" ”

It seems that the girl's Chinese proficiency has really improved rapidly during this time, and Xuan even replied in a somewhat stiff Chinese: "It's all gone, it's all killed by bad guys, it's gone." ”

Wang Yiyi frowned, and said with a little displeasure: "Zhao Ningxia did it?" ”

The girl hurriedly shook her head and replied in jerky Chinese, "Lord Zhao...... Be...... Good! If...... No...... Lord Zhao, Xiujing ...... Starved to death. ”

Han Xiujing's face turned red at this time, obviously afraid that Wang Yi would misunderstand Zhao Ningxia.

Wang Yiyi smiled and said, "I know, Zhao Ningxia is a good person." ”

The girl saw that Wang Yi was very kind, and she also laughed.

The two of them chatted without saying a word, chatting with such a girl from a foreign country, Wang Yi felt full of novelty.

In the final analysis, people of different nationalities still have something in common, such as the most basic feelings. Just like the later generations of Wang Yi don't like the Japanese, but he likes Japanese anime, what bug master, slam dunk, Azi comic king, etc., he also likes Japanese TV series, such as "Medical Dragon", "Codeblue", "Joker Unforgiven Investigator". When watching these things, Wang Yi didn't notice that the protagonist in it was Japanese, he watched the love, hatred, and grudge entanglement in anime and TV series. This is a common place in human nature, so it is also easy to resonate, and it has little to do with whether a person loves the country or not, but has more to do with whether he is a person or not.

It was in this strange atmosphere that he left in 1884, and now it is 1885.

On the side of the Qing army, the Dian Army and the Black Flag Army on the Western Front had arrived at the end of October 1884 under the city of Xuan Quang and were besieging it with all their might, but unfortunately the progress was not great, even if it was dozens of times that of the enemy.

The Gui Army on the Eastern Front also successively replenished its forces and adjusted its deployment: the 18th battalion of Su Yuanchun and Chen Jiasuo stationed in Gusong was the middle road; Yang Yuke and Fang Yousheng stationed in Guanyin Bridge are the nine battalions of the West Road; With the 10th Battalion of the Hunan Army of Wang Debang's Department stationed in the car and Nayang as the east road, it is said that this one finally rushed to the front line; In addition, the five battalions of the Huai Army of Ye Jiaxiang's department and the five battalions of the Gui Army of Dong Lugao's department were stationed in Langshan. In addition, the sixth battalion of the Gui Army of Ma Shengzhi's department is still stationed in the area of Xinjie. There are more than 50 battalions and about 20,000 troops.

In order to cope with the military operations on the Western Front and disrupt the operational deployment of the French army in Beiqi to defend the west and attack in the east, the Qing government ordered the Qing army on the Eastern Front to take advantage of the French army in Beiqi to turn to the defense, take the initiative to attack, and strike first against the enemy. However, in accordance with Li Hongzhang's instructions such as "do not attack the fortified positions and wound the elites", Pan Dingxin only used a small-scale sortie to contain the French troops in the direction of the bow, and made a gesture of responding to the battle on the Western Front. On December 16, 2,000 Qing troops on the middle route ambushed the French patrol at the Paper Workshop (northeast of the bow), killing and wounding more than 100 enemy soldiers, and won the victory. At the end of the year, the Hunan army on the east route advanced to Fenggu to the east of the bow of the ship, preparing to cooperate with the middle road to attack the bow of the ship.

On January 3 and 4, 1885, the French army finally began to move! Fenggu Qing army was suddenly attacked by more than 4,000 French troops, Wang Debang oversaw the army fought hard, suffered many casualties, due to the lack of rear-loading guns, and the medicine was exhausted, it was difficult to resist, so it was forced to abandon a large number of supplies, retreat to the car. Pan Dingxin feared that the French army would capture Langshan after the detour of the Su and Wang departments from Nayang, and hurriedly transferred two battalions of the Huai army from Langshan to defend Nayang, and asked the Qing court to quickly reinforce it.

Prior to this, Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Liangguang, also believed that the French army was focused on Langshan, "the Gui army was divided into various defenses, and the troops were still weak, so it was necessary to increase the strength of the troops from the east road to reap the effect of the horn pinch", so with this statement, an old hero was born again.

He is Feng Zicai!

It is said that since Liu Kun squeezed out and attacked him, Zhang Zhidong secretly exerted his strength, and Xu Yanxu, the governor of Guangxi, also because he had impeached himself, at the beginning of his tenure, he removed his nephew Feng Zhaojin and reprimanded him and demonstrated to him. The 65-year-old veteran finally returned home with the indignation of "lying down for the old man (pi two sounds) and being willing to teach the herding horse to cross Lintao".

However, his hometown of Qinzhou is adjacent to Vietnam, and the French invading army is advancing step by step, and the news of peeking into southern Xinjiang continues to reach his ears, and he cannot tolerate this "veteran of the battlefield with the strongest foreign character to ride a donkey and return to Jiangxiang with a long roar, and watch the sages make up for the situation." He was worried about state affairs, and sent people to cross the border many times to find out the reality of the legal person.

But when Beiqi was lost in March 1884, Huang Guilan committed suicide in fear of crime, Xu Yanxu went to Beijing as a scapegoat, and died halfway through, the Qing court was worried about the lack of manpower on the road in addition to Taiwan. At this time, someone finally remembered Feng Zicai, but now the imperial court sent Pan Dingxin, this is Li Hongzhang's person, originally* After Cixi's rectification, there are not many roots and seedlings left in the Huai army. Now that Lao Feng is coming to divide power again, of course Li Hongzhang will not agree, but people have the heart to serve the country, and it is not good to refuse too much, so he found a reason, saying that he is old and weak, and he is not an opponent of the French army, and only gave him the name of supervising the regimental training of Gao, Lei, Lian, and Qiong 4 prefectures and 25 prefectures and counties.

With no real power and no source of income, Feng Zicai set up regimental training in nine prefectures and counties within a few months, among which the 500 Qinzhou trainers he personally selected and trained became the backbone of the "Elite Army" in the future.

In May 1884, Zhang Zhidong took office as the governor of Liangguang, first drove away and indirectly forced Zhang Shusheng to death, and then remembered to make trouble for the Huai army. Although when he was in the capital, in order to ensure that Xu Yanxu became the governor of Guangxi, he gave Feng Zicai a lot of slander in front of Cixi, but after all, he didn't tear his face in person. In addition, Feng Zicai took the initiative to write a letter, asking to lead 15,000 troops from Qinzhou to Quang An and Hai Duong in northeast Vietnam to open up the third battlefield by land. On the one hand, Zhang Zhidong admired this bold idea, and on the other hand, he also wanted to make some trouble for Pan Dingxin on the front line, so he agreed to this request.

But before Feng Zicai set off, the situation on the front line changed greatly.
