On the fifth day of the first month of August, the front page of Ta Kung Pao was all given to the Battle of Hongji, which had just ended less than two days. ☆ → top ☆ → dot ☆ → small ☆ → said, www.

In the two hours before and after, they sank a French cruiser of the first class, forcing the French to sink a 2,000-ton battleship and damaging six ships, including two French ships.

The front page also featured photographs of naval battles. And it is noted below that this was bought by Ta Kung Pao for 10,000 silver dollars from the Hongji Coastal Defense Battalion.

The latter could have caused an uproar in China's newspaper industry. But the eyes of everyone in the country were drawn to what was ahead. Ta Kung Pao's purchase of photos from the Qin military at a high price was like throwing a pebble into the river, inconspicuous and without ripples.

"Stupid Frenchman. There are no sailors, only fools will go to play with the forts......" Wittoma looked at the newspaper photo of the burning Indochina, repeating the famous words of British Admiral Nelson more than half a century ago.

The French are just stupid.

Without the marines, even if the fleet could break through the batteries, would they still be able to organize a sailor to kill the inland? The authentic army can't beat the Qin army, isn't the sailors even more?

Kennedy, who was in Hong Kong, was going to go to Canton for a trip to the French prisoners. But after reading today's Ta Kung Pao, he canceled the formation.

Forget it, let's wait until the French have good news, and then go to Guangzhou by yourself!

Liu Xian looked down at the map of the South China Sea, and the claws outstretched by the French navy had been knocked back by himself in Hongji. Now let's see the second move, how the French are going to go!

If the French are willing to stop there, they will not pay attention to it anymore. Or rather, it temporarily extinguished the attempt on Vietnam, against China. Then maybe Luo Shuya doesn't have to work anymore. The new www.biquge.info of Sino-French diplomacy can be started immediately.

Pity. The arrogant Western civilized people, the roosters of Gaul, made Liu Xian waste this little bit of squandering in his heart in vain.

In fact, Liu Xian has always felt that the current world is the same as the unit in the previous life. If you want to mix left and right in front of people, you first have to learn two movements: bow your head and raise your head.

Bow your head, relying on a kind of wise and foolish courage; Looking up, it depends on strength. The question is, you know when it's time to look up. When is it time to bow your head again.

When Liu Xian first crossed, his head was lowered into the crotch of his pants. Now he looks at France and the East, relying on the strength in his hands.

He thinks that the current president and parliamentarians of France, if he is a really wise politician, should understand that bowing his head is the best choice for France at the moment!

But it is clear that the French do not think so. Liu Xian waited for Luo Shuya for three days, but on the afternoon of the third day, Luo Shuya took a boat to Hong Kong.

A taste that was almost thrown to the blind rose in Liu Xian's heart. tmd。 Blind.

Simply, Liu Xian went to Jiangxi.

The battle of northern Jiangxi is about to start. He needed to take a look.

Huguang can't relax his vigilance at all, and Zuo Zongtang in Zhejiang and Liu Kunyi in southern Jiangsu are also tigers. Especially Zuo Zongtang. Liu Xian didn't believe that a stick could kill the left handsome of the 'Huxiang disciples in Tianshan'!

So, the rat pulls the wooden shovel - the big head is still to come!

"It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to sell the name of the overlord! Nanchang has already been laid. Is Jiujiang still a problem? It is true that the number of enemies in front of him is large, and the beginning of this king's army. There were more Manchu soldiers! But now? People all over the world are saying that I, Liu Xian, have the life to sit on a dragon chair. How did this come about? It was fought on the battlefield. ”

Li Xueming, Wu Jinzhu, and Li Shien, three important generals of the Qin army in Jiangxi. At this moment, he was standing obediently in front of Liu Xian, with a look of attentive listening on his face.

The previous regiment commander and battalion commander have now become brigade commanders and regiment commanders. The Qin army had more than 40,000 troops in Jiangxi, of which the real field army accounted for one-half, and the rest were garrisoned volunteers. The strength is not weak, and the initial stage of the Hunan Raiders was only two integrated brigades. This is because there are many poor people in Gannan Mountain, the people are fierce, and there are many people who are willing to join the army, and the new barracks set up in Ganzhou have thousands of new recruits freshly baked every month. Therefore, Li Xueming and Wu Jinzhu's regiments were able to be inflated and combined into a reorganized brigade, and Li Shien's battalion also became a reinforced regiment, with a strength of nearly 6,000!

However, the heavy firepower of the Jiangxi Front Army was insufficient. In a team of more than 20,000 people, there were only about 80 two-and-a-half-inch and three-inch cannons, and even if mortars and heavy machine guns were properly strengthened, they could not make up for the shortcomings of the artillery. And the most important reason is that Li Xueming, Wu Jinzhu, and Li Shien are not people at the level of Liu Zhuo, Qi Dalin, Zhou Jun, Xiang Fa, Zhang Zhongkui, and the Five Tiger Generals. They have always belonged to the second gear in the Qin army, and Li Shien is even the third gear. But since the three of them led the troops into Jiangxi, the battle has been getting better and better, and the Jiangxi raiders are unexpected. And as the time of leading the troops alone became longer and longer, the 'connection' between the three of them and the Zhou army became weaker and weaker. What's more, among them, Li Xueming and Wu Jinzhu themselves are semi-independent of the Guangxi line of the Zhou army, and before Liu Xian did not raise troops, one was in Qinzhou and the other was in Lianzhou.

Until now, the three of them have a faint posture of an independent mountain. is very promising to become the 'sixth man' in the Qin army, so it naturally caused some suppression in the army.

In terms of logistics, it was not really a violation of discipline to withhold the artillery of the Jiangxi Front, it was really not.

The arsenal was very dedicated and went all out to rush the work, and the logistics department did not deliberately delay at all, and they pulled and sent one to the troops when the artillery was off the line. It's just that it hasn't been lined up to the Jiangxi Front yet! Li Xueming and the others didn't say anything in three and a half sentences. They can't say to Liu Xian that there were unspoken rules in the past, today's artillery is given to the first brigade, tomorrow's artillery is given to the second brigade, all departments are short of artillery, the output is coming in turns, and the current logistics is not dedicated but violates the unspoken rules! None of the three were kicked in the head by the donkey.

Liu Xian will come to Jiangxi, and it also faintly reveals the meaning of 'enough is enough'. It's okay to make a small fuss, as long as you don't delay the overall situation, don't violate military regulations and military orders, and take advantage of the loopholes in the law, Liu Xian can do it invisibly. But don't go overboard!

Moreover, Li Xueming and the three of them set up their own mountain, which is also good for Liu Xian.

The scale of the Qin army will get bigger and bigger, and there are still more and more factions in the army. Ten or twenty factions is better than two or three. No emperor was far away to see his army monolithic.

Therefore, Liu Xian was already planning to reorganize the whole army after leveling the southern country. Adjust the positions of the generals of your troops again.

Life lies in movement, and cadres lie in adjustment. Take the opportunity to move the generals. It has to move bigger, move densely, ruthlessly, accurately, and quickly! At the right time, you can also add a fire, and the fire will be prosperous. In the world of power, there will always be someone who is in charge of cutting the cake, and who doesn't want to be the one who holds the knife? With Liu Xian's current position, he can't be the one who holds the knife, and the whole family will end up miserable.

……

Jiujiang.

At present, the Qing army is the only government in Jiangxi that is still completely controlled. Its topography is not ordinarily important!

Linjiang hugging lake, north is Anhui, tracing up the river is the three towns of Wuhan, down the river, is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties Nanjing.

More than 40,000 Qing troops were stationed here. The generals are like clouds, and Liu Bingzhang and Guo Songlin are famous generals in Hunan and Huai.

There are also Wu Jianying, Yang Dingxun, Zhou Liangcai, Qin Liansheng, Li Chaobin, Wang Desheng, and Liu Kunyi, the governor of Liangjiang, who has personally led his troops to arrive. Zhang Zhaodong, the former governor of Guangdong, was escorted back to Beijing to be questioned.

Liu Bingzhang is 50 years old. But his hair is gray, his brow is wrinkled, and he seems to believe that even those who say seventy believe it. When Liu Kun saw him, he almost didn't dare to recognize him. It's really exhausting, and life has become what it is now.

For more than half a year, the three unknown members of the Qin army frequently lost the city and lost the land, and only one Jiujiang was left in the huge Jiangxi. And if it weren't for the fact that the Qin army was busy with disaster relief in the summer, the offensive was suspended, and Jiujiang might have been lost long ago.

Guo Songlin is also much older. The defeats on the battlefield in Jiangxi one after another have lost his confidence. The Wu Yi army under his command was even more defeated, and now there are only 2,000 left.

Guo Songlin didn't feel sorry for his army, he felt sorry for his soldiers. Even the king of heaven and Lao Tzu did not dare to completely wipe out the head of the Wu Yi army, what was he Guo Songlin afraid of? And many of these soldiers are veterans who have followed him in the north and south for many years. Now he is dying in Jiangxi.

In the headquarters of the Qin Army in Nanchang.

A large map of Jiangxi hangs on the wall.

Li Xueming held a baton and pointed to the location of the southern end of the Jiujiang River on the map and said: "The defense of the Qing army is centered on the natural triangle composed of Xiushui, Fengshui, and Longjiang, these three rivers. With the Yangtze River Naval Division of Poyang Lake, the four cities of Jianchang, Anyi, Jing'an, and Fengxin are the eastern nodes, and Xiegang, Liangkou City, and Wuning City behind them are the western nodes.

Although the morale of its army is low, it is well armed. In particular, the more than 10,000 Hunan and Huai troops brought by Liu Kunyi are all new forces, and they can still pose a certain threat to our army. ”

Liu Xian looked at the map on the wall and said nothing. He had already seen clearly the layout of the Qing army from the virtual map he opened, and it was not without hope of winning the battle by attacking hard, but this was not a good way. Especially in the state of incomplete heavy artillery equipment of the Jiangxi Front Army, such a sacrifice will not be small.

"Is it really impossible to cross Panyang Lake?"

After Zeng Guofan took Nanjing, he also made great efforts to rectify the Yangtze River Naval Division. Peng Yulin and Yang Yuebin successively supervised the Yangtze River Naval Division, but after Peng Yulin returned to his hometown, Huang Yisheng, the general of the Hunan Army, who succeeded him, was not strict in controlling the army, and overused more than 200 alternate generals, completely knocking down the Yangtze River Naval Division, which had just improved.

Although the new admiral has been rectifying military affairs for more than a year, even the death of his wife last year was robbed. But the standard of the Yangtze River sailors is still unbearable. (To be continued......) R527
