"Comrades, our current location is between Mexico City and Guanajuato, and from the information we have now, as far as you can see, this place in Querétaro is a plain, and the crops are very rich, vegetables, grain, and the yield is extremely high. With the silver capital to the north and the capital to the south, it is obvious that the agricultural products of those places will not be too abundant, that is, according to common sense, this place should not be thrown away casually. But we didn't meet any decent resistance, and what does that say? ”

Li Mengyang was standing in the city hall of Querétaro at this time, a small but spectacular castle, and here, behind the emperor Xià unfolded a large map, which was obtained from Querétaro, and what Li Mengyang was talking about at this time was the current situation of the imperial special editor.

There is no need to think about it, there must be a large number of French troops in the north and south, and this is what Li Mengyang wanted, he knew that Querétaro was a strategic place before. But now, after the iron hooves of the empire stepped here, Li Mengyang felt that this place was more important, but the French just ran away.

So why is that?

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen thinks, this must be a trick of the French invaders! Seeing that the Querétaro was flat and almost undefendable, they abandoned it and then struggled with the army. Guanajuato in the north and Mexico City in the south, facing each other from two directions, are just right up and down to flank our army! ”

The first to speak was Okashi, in fact, he is now the head of the generals, so naturally he has to say his opinion first, and as for the rest, others will add it.

"Exactly! General Ocassi is right! ”

"陛xià! I agree with General Okasi! ”

A group of people chimed in. And a lot of them were Irish generals. Normal. The old squad of the revolutionary army. Naturally, they have to help each other.

"If you want me to say, Your Majesty, this time the French army may also be frightened by our army!" The old road of the foggy wind can't be idle, and an insight came immediately.

"Well, I think so!"

"That's right! Those Frenchmen are running away! ”

Needless to say, these are all Chinese officers.

"......" As soon as Li Mengyang saw this situation, he felt very funny. It is clear that the two sides have a bullish stance. This Chinese and white people are pinched together, and there is indeed a bit of a problem.

In the past, he was one of himself, and he did lead a lot of events, all of which were beneficial to these low-level guys, so naturally it was easy to say, but now, there are many people, and there will inevitably be some problems.

However, the reason why Li Mengyang laughed was actually because he knew it very well. This is bound to happen, and this is the case. He can't solve it now!

It should be said that this is not something that can be solved in a day or two, this kind of problem is an extremely long time, and only then can there be some changes, and it is necessary to seize the opportunity and have the means. But now, it doesn't matter, if you compete like this, then there will be competition, and it is still a benign contradiction at the moment.

"Okay, everyone's right!" Li Mengyang first calmed down the two sides.

Then he said: "No matter how you look at it, the situation now is that the French army will definitely make a comeback." And the possibility of two sides attacking each other is very high. That is, in fact, we will be surrounded by opponents, so what now? ”

Li Mengyang spread his hands, he really wanted to hear the opinions of others.

“HAIL-LEE！ Our army will definitely be victorious! ”

“ALL-HAIL-LEE！ Even if it is an ambush from all sides, we are not afraid! ”

If nothing else, let's show my determination first.

Huh~ Li Mengyang sighed in his heart, forget it, let's not engage in any democracy this time.

"Now I command!"

“ALL-HAIL-LEE！”

His Majesty the Emperor pointed to the map with his hand: "Build a trench defense line in the south of Querétaro, east and west!" In the north, along the Sierra Gorda hills, a north-south trench line was established! ”

...... "That's it?"

The generals in the entire town hall looked at each other a little, because the tactics of the emperor's majesty seemed to be too simple, right?

There are just two lines of defense, and nothing else, nothing is said, so this ......

“ALL-HAIL-LEE！” Okashi was the first to come out, "My First Army soldiers are willing to go south!" ”

Obviously, the wiser people saw the intention of the emperor's majesty to arrange this.

Most of the mountains in Mexico run north-south, so this defense line in the north is built along the mountain, so it is naturally north-south, but the problem is that the north is north-south, and the French army coming from the north is not blocked in front, so isn't this a reinforcement?

And to build a defensive line in the south, or in an east-west direction, isn't this to block the French army from Mexico City in the south?

Moreover, it is clear that the battle in the south will be more intense!

From the map, you can easily see that although Mexico City is not a seaside city, you can reach Veracruz smoothly all the way to the east!

You know, not long ago, the French army reinforced Mexico, but it came from the sea, and naturally it was to log in from Veracruz, so the current situation must be more French troops in the direction of Mexico City!

The reinforcement in the north, relatively speaking, must be a blow to the garrison army of the original Yindu, the number of French troops there must not be very large, and the reinforcement is a good opportunity for meritorious service.

So, in this way, how revolutionary is it that Ocasy proposes that the Irish of the First Army go to the south?

We fought a tough battle! Our 1st Army is still the main force of the main forces!

"No! Then the southern line of defense must be ours! Our Chinese engineering and civil work is good! "How can the old road of the fog wind not be seen?

The generals above are all on top, and the people below will follow up immediately.

"War is not just about earthwork!"

"That's not right, this time the defense of the south is very difficult!"

"Your Third Army has just been established not long ago, and you are inexperienced, how can you be up to such a difficult task?"

"What's the matter! You look down on our Third Army?! ”

The two sides are really arguing with each other, and they haven't fought with others yet, so they have to fight in the nest first.

"That's it!" Li Mengyang took a look. It's pretty much it. Thereupon. He drank softly.

"......" suddenly fell silent, and his head drooped.

It seems that the emperor's majesty and popularity are now extremely strong, and Li Mengyang's position is very stable!

"I now order, the First Army to go to the south to establish a defensive line! The head of the defensive line, General Okasi! The Third Army went to the north, and the person in charge was Foggy Wind! The rest. Come with me in Querétaro! ”

This command was given without any rebuttal from anyone.

“ALL-HAIL-LEE！”

“ALL-HAIL-LEE！”

The slogan was shouted very loudly, but Li Mengyang had a lot of ideas in his heart.

The first one, that is, the national question, or even the racial question, these two things are now intertwined in the empire, but they have not exploded now, on the one hand, the empire has just been established, and there are a series of victories and constructions, so that people have no time to think about these things.

But though. In the future, this is something that must be addressed.

So how to solve it?

Let's be honest. Li Mengyang doesn't have a good way now, he just remembers that in the future, he has heard that the United States at that time had no race, only race.

Americans are all American nations, but within the concept of this big nation, everyone is divided into races, because no matter how you get it, you can't wash it clean, white is white, black is black, and yellow is yellow.

So, is the empire doing the same?

Li Mengyang didn't think it was a good solution, but fortunately, the problem was still under pressure and had not yet emerged, but Li Mengyang needed to find a solution.

And the second one, that is, religious belief, although Li Mengyang followed this matter before, he made a note to his "Declaration of Equality", which is an additional gain, but freedom of religious belief, how many people can buy this matter, or rather, those religions are still very poor, but once they become big in the future, whether they will make trouble or not, these are two words.

I remember the Republic of Korea in later generations, don't look at it smallly, but the Pope's power is very strong, and those guys even often instigate some things, and they are very powerful.

Therefore, this matter cannot be underestimated, and Li Mengyang's initial idea is that religion can be believed freely, which is nothing, but this religion must be mastered by me, the emperor!

Li Mengyang's trip to Mexico saw these points, which can be said to be more important than defeating Mexico......

The policy of encircling and sending reinforcements on the side of the Imperial Army has been decided, so what is the movement of the French army?

Guanajuato, meanwhile.

"Frey, we're in big trouble right now!"

General Bazán, who had been defeated all the way from Guadalajara to Querétaro and then from Querétaro to Guanajuato, was sweating profusely and talking to an elegant general, who was obviously supposed to be General Frei.

General Frey was the main French army in Mexico, and in June 1863, he led the main French army to capture Mexico City!

"Oh, my old friend Bazin, what has happened to you? How did you panic? ”

To be honest, Frey was a little unhappy when he saw Bazin, because this Bazin was like a lost dog!

How could a soldier of the French Empire, oh no, a general, be so ungraceful?

You look at this guy's clothes, it's messy, the military hat on his head is gone, and his pants are ...... Bastard! It's all open!

Well, it's not really that big, but French pants are famous.

To describe a person who picks the door, then in Europe you can say, 'So-and-so is a tailor who can save fabric from French trousers.' ’

French pants, especially men's, are leggings, so such leggings can save fabric, which is definitely a master tailor and a wonder in picking the door.

Well, when such pants are opened, even a little bit will squeeze out a lot of meat......

But Bazin doesn't want to bother with any pants now, "Frey! Trust me, we're in big trouble right now! What kind of American Empire, it's amazing! ”

"......," said Frey, with a look of disdain, 'Coward!' (To be continued......)
