Zhou Derun is 40 years old this year, and his name is Shenglin, a native of Guilin, Guangxi. The Guiqin Railway, which Liu Xian was going to build, happened to pass through his house. How can Zhou Derun, who is a politician with a tendency, endure it? Liu Xian is simply sitting on his head and, deceiving people too much!

Immediately, a letter was handed over. Saying: "If the railway is not in China, it is not possible in China." Who? Waiyi mainly does business, and the king and the people seek their own benefits; China mainly supports the people, and the king benefits the people and the king does not say that the people are also profitable. The speaker wants to use the railway to travel to China, fearing that a shortcut will be opened, and the shops along the way, the people's cars that serve the people, and the mules and horses that carry them are all out of business, and they are the officials who return from the benefits of the poor people in the world. ”

Then there are officials such as Zhang Jiaxiang, Zhang Kai, and Liu Xihong, who are also conservatives. These corrupt Confucians, who regard the 'words of the sage' as a qiē, and say that the railway is a foreign "miracle skill", which is not worth advocating, and that attacking the railway has "three evils", "nine disadvantages", "eight unfeasible ones", and "nine harmful ones". These people even associate the construction of railways with the traditional Chinese theory of feng shui, saying with ulterior motives that if railways are allowed to be built in China, they will inevitably lead to "the uneasiness of the gods of mountains and rivers, that is, the disaster of drought and disaster". Not to mention, the impact is huge.

Among them, Liu Xihong, a senator of the General Political Department, had the experience of inspecting Europe on the spot as the deputy of Guo Songtao, the minister to the United Kingdom, so his "Strike on the Railway" caused a great turmoil between the government and the opposition.

The monstrous waves have already rolled up from the north, and only when the battle of Vietnam has a result, it will be swept away. Many of the middle and low-level magistrates in Guangxi still don't know about these things, and they didn't lead them to Beijing, even Liu Xian, if it weren't for Zhang Shoudai, they wouldn't have known so much detail, and even some of the contents of the excerpts were copied and sent to him as a whole. If he only relied on the Beijing Station of the Military Intelligence Department set up by him, the petty officials and the children of the Eight Banners who could be contacted could only get the results of the court's discussions and the reversal of public opinion, and the real details of the situation were completely unknown.

Zhou Derun's four books and five classics are excellent. In the first year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1862), after entering the Shi, he first selected Shu Jishi, and then successively served as the chief usurper of the National History Museum, the usurper of the Record Museum, the secretary of the Guozijian Division, the lecturer of the Hanlin Academy, and the young Zhan Shi of the Zhan Mansion. is a rising star in the clear stream, and has always been associated with Liu Xihong and others.

This person is quite ethical, and from that point of view, he is a traditional Chinese gentleman. But this kind of person's defense against foreign affairs is so fierce. It also made Liu Xian's opinion of Qingliu even worse.

……

"Stupid!" Zuo Zongtang put down the letter paper in his hand, and his face was covered with the pride and mockery unique to his 'brightness of this world'.

It is clear that one weapon is used to replace the work of hundreds of people, and one weapon is used to take the business of hundreds of people - the firearms of foreigners on the battlefield can also be used by one person to defeat hundreds of soldiers of the Qing Dynasty!

How stupid. China is destroyed at the hands of this group of people!

Zuo Zongtang, who runs the Fujian shipyard and holds the 'enemy and above the open sea', is angry, but he is so powerless.

"Sue the Sù Ship Administration Bureau, use iron in the future, and buy Gui Tie." With the support he could, Zuo Zongtang used this to express his attitude to the whole world. "Liu Yuandu has already built a machine qì silk reeling factory in Liuzhou, sue sù Xueyan, let him watch it."

Without the Guanxi Expedition, Hu Xueyan is still the money bag of the Chu army. The first red-capped merchant of the Great Qing Dynasty.

"Obey the orders of the commander."

The entourage retreated with the order, and Zuo Zongtang's decision would be implemented as soon as possible. Zuo Zongtang was the only one left in the study, standing at the window, looking at the spring rain outside, Zuo Zongtang's stubborn face suddenly showed a trace of fatigue that outsiders would never see.

Great Qing, Great Qing, when will it be truly strong?

It's been eight years since Tianjing changed back to Jiangningdu, why hasn't Zuo Zongtang been able to see real hope? But as long as he lives, Zuo Zongtang believes that he will always persevere.

……

North Ki of Vietnam at this time. Outside the city of Hanoi, the garrison of the new Vietnamese army. Now it has become the base of the Black Flag Army, Liu Yongfu accepted Huang Jiyan's construction last year and formally surrendered to the Nguyen Dynasty, and Emperor Duc allowed him to lead the Black Flag Army to continue to defend the place of victory. Now the French are in a hurry to attack Nanqi, Wu Zhongping has hurried to Hue, the capital of Vietnam, with his new army, and Liu Yongfu was also invited by Duan Shou, the governor of the official army of Beiqi, to assist in the defense of Hanoi, so he personally mentioned that more than 1,000 people of the main force of the Black Flag Army were stationed in the camp here. General Huang Shouzhong led the rest of the troops to stay in Baoshengzhou, the old nest of the Black Flag Army, to prevent the attack of Huang Chongying's troops of the Yellow Flag Army, who were quick to deal with the Black Flag Army. Although the current Huang Chongying is almost a subsidiary of Hongji City.

Since Liu Yongfu annexed the Second Division of Panwen of the White Flag Army, the Yellow Flag Army has parted ways with the Black Flag Army. Huang Chongying is an absolute reckless green forest hero, and he is full of banditry in his bones. He didn't care about the White Flag Army's mischief, and he was still friendly with the White Flag Army, although the Yellow Flag Army's own military discipline was much better than that of the White Flag Army. But as soon as Liu Yongfu cleaned up the White Flag Army, he completely tore his face with Liu Yongfu. But Huang Chongying is not stupid, Liu Yongfu leaned on the Vietnamese government, and he leaned on Hongji City. Although it is not as righteous and bright as Liu Yongfu relied on, the Ruan Dynasty has already canonized Liu Yongfu as the commander of Sanxuan. Huang Chongying is still an absolute black household.

-- Before Shi Dakai was not exterminated, the Taiping army was still taboo in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Huang Chongying wore a hat with a long-haired remnant on his head, and it was only three or four years since he withdrew from Guangxi, far from being able to wash his name.

Duan Shou rarely came to the Black Flag Army, not because Liu Yongfu invited him to a banquet, but because today the Black Flag Army camp is going to have a team of people and horses that he must also pay attention to.

Hongji Cheng sent a team to the Black Flag Army, and at the same time, this team was also responsible for escorting a batch of munitions, a batch of guns to be sent to the Black Flag Army, which were breech-loading firearms that the Vietnamese were very eye-catching, but could not afford.

The leader of the team is Hu Wenguang, and the staff will wear it. is not a big official, but he is Liu Xian's confidant.

Duan Shou had to face Hu Wenguang squarely, and Liu Yongfu had to respect Hu Wenguang even more. Although the team brought by Hu Wenguang's men was only a so-called squad, the total number of people was less than fifty.

"Smack-" A crisp gunshot rang out outside Hanoi, and a sparrow a hundred meters away fell in response to the gun. Hu Wenguang immediately opened the chamber of the gun and loaded it with a metal bullet, and in less than five seconds, it was 'pop-', and another crisp gunfire surrounded the ears of Duan Shou, Liu Yongfu and a group of Vietnamese and Black Flag Army generals.

"The French 1866 Trisport rifle was not inferior to him at all. Or even better! Hu Wenguang put away the Remington side pin rifle in his hand, and said with a heavy face: "Don't think that the French were defeated three years ago, so they won't work." They are also the world's first-class powerhouses. Lord Huang and Master Wu's new army can support it for a while, but it can't last long! ”

"My military gate asked Hu to bring 500 breech guns this time, 300 to the Black Flag Army, and the other 200 guns, I will take them to Hue. I hope that by the time I go to Hue, the land has not yet been occupied by the French. ”

Hu Wenguang has forty-three people, not even him. If you say that you are a sniper, you may still be unqualified, but if you want to be a sharpshooter, they are all first-class.

If they had been added to the Vietnamese army, the trouble they would have given the French an immeasurable amount with a strong position. Of course, Liu Xian was reluctant to send his own top man, the sniper unit, out because Hue was too far away from Beiqi, and the army was going south, so it was too inconvenient for logistics and supplies.

Now the French are strong on the sea, but they can't compare to the fragile little side of the Qin army. Now the four ironclad ships of the Qin army have not even completely formed combat effectiveness. It is really about to collide with the French Far East Navy, and the sheep is in the mouth of the tiger, and it is vulnerable.

Liu Xian's vision of the Sino-Japanese war situation still relied on the Vietnamese New Army as the main force. As long as the French suffered in Zhongqi and could not take Hue, whether it was to repeat the old tricks, divide the troops to Beiqi, seize Hanoi, or besiege the city under Hue without retreating, it would be easy to do.

The French divided their troops to the north, and Liu Xian dared to eat him in one bite; And if the French army had always been under the city of Hue and did not retreat, waiting for the veterans of its division to be tired, Liu Xian would dare to mention one or two brigades and go straight to Hue.

Three hundred breech guns, Liu Yongfu gave Duan Shou one hundred shots. Duan Shou's pro-soldier troops quickly changed their outfits. But these are not within the scope of Hu Wenguang's consideration, and Liu Xian, who is no longer in Hongji's consideration.

If, if the French really divide their forces to the north, the port of Hongji will definitely be one of the targets of the French Far East Navy's shelling.

Liu Xian has been 'watching' the construction of the fortifications of Hongji Port these days. It was not a port battery, but a land fortification within the port area.

Hongji Port itself is absolutely undefensible. Compared with the powerful firepower of the French Navy, not to mention how to build the fort in this short period of time, only how many forts need to be built to withstand the bombardment of the French naval guns?

Therefore, Liu Xian simply abandoned the port area and specially guarded the inland - the coal mining area.

Under the city of Hue.

More than 1,000 French troops with 5,000 puppet troops gradually appeared in the eyes of the Vietnamese from far to near. Since the official outbreak of the war, the Vietnamese army has been defeated one after another. Even though the new army led by Huang Jiyan did a good job in the battle, bringing more than 300 casualties to the French army in two Qin-style trench battles, far exceeding the results of the previous war, the new army was still defeated.

Hue could no longer contact Huang Jiyan, only knowing that after the Battle of Dian Pan, the whole army was routed and fled to the west.

Now Hue City can only rely on the new army of Vu Trung Binh. This is a new army unit that is not inferior to Huang Jiyan in terms of number and ordnance, but there are too many recruits in it, and compared to the combat effectiveness of Huang Jiyan's department, it is completely children and grandchildren.

The only thing Wu Zhongping had an advantage over Huang Jiyan was the city defense of Hue City and the promise given to him by Liu Xian in the north.

"Pass on my military order, those who dare to retreat recklessly, cut it off-" Wu Zhongping was murderous.

Emperor Side left, and fled to Guangzhi with the royal family and ministers. In Hue City, Vu Trung Binh is now the largest, and the situation under the control of the army is completely effective, and his words are more effective. R1152
