Chapter 711: A Race Against Time
Although Chen Laoliu's guess was bizarre and bold, if it wasn't so, it would not be enough to explain the strange behavior of foreigners, so Boss Chen just slapped his thigh: "That's it, commander-in-chief, then should we interfere?" ”
Wang Feng said without hesitation: "Of course we have to intervene, we don't care about the lives of the banner people, but the wealth accumulated by the Qing court in the past two hundred years cannot be snatched away by foreigners. ”
"Yes!" A black hawk hurried away.
Wang Feng looked at the map and said: "If the foreigners attack Beijing, they will go ashore in Tianjin, Chen Guide, Chen Guicao, you take the fleet, and then bring the torpedo boats, and rush to the North Sea Fleet, once the foreigners abandon the ship and go ashore, attack immediately!" ”
"Yes!" Boss Chen and Boss Chen saluted and rushed out.
There were only two people left in the room, Wang Feng and Zhou Xiuying, and Zhou Xiuying couldn't help reminding: "Foreigners may not be going to Beijing, for example, they are tired of staying in Nagasaki and go to sea to train, or for example, at the request of the samurai of the Shaozhuang faction to attack Edo, what if you make a mistake in judgment?" ”
Wang Feng didn't care and said: "That's okay, we can knock Tianjin down first, since we can't move Xingjiapo for the time being, it's also a good choice to attack the Qing court, big sister, you go back and prepare, call Shui Jiao, let's go to Jinan in the afternoon,"
Zhou Xiuying glanced at Wang Feng strangely: "When you become the emperor, you still run around?" ”
"Who said that to be an emperor you have to stay in the palace? I'm a royal driver, go, go! Wang Feng waved his hand as if he was driving away.
"Humph! It's still me! Zhou Xiuying snorted lightly, Shi Shiran walked out, and she arranged for someone to inform Yang Shuijiao first. Then go back to the palace to pack your bags.
Since Alice has only become the queen, she can't show her head for the time being. So I took care of the children at home with Fu Luanxiang and watched a group of children jumping around under his leadership. It's a different kind of experience.
"Huh? Xiuying, why are you back? Alice, who was teaching the children to tie their shoes, looked up and happened to see Zhou Xiuying, and asked carelessly.
"I'll come back and pack some things, that man in your family is going to do a royal expedition," Zhou Xiuying explained.
"Hey, little three, I can't stay at home all the time!" Fu Luanxiang sighed faintly, but then he seemed to think of something, and looked at Zhou Xiuying with a pair of beautiful eyes.
Zhou Xiuying was stunned. He asked very uncomfortably: "Sister Luanxiang, do I have flowers on my face?" What do you think of me like this? ”
Fu Luanxiang said earnestly: "Xiuying, it's not my sister who said you, don't say that you don't know Xiaosan's heart for you, he is a very flowery person, but aren't men like this, and Xiaosan is already very restrained compared to others." At least he didn't have three days to provoke the woman back.
You're twenty-five, aren't you? Seven years have passed, and this woman really can't afford to drag it out, so take my sister as an example. Officially joined the ranks of Bensi this year, how many years can you still have youth? If you have any grievances against him, tell your sister. My sister will help you count him down and let him change. ”
Zhou Xiuying's rare pretty face turned red. Buyi said: "Sister Luanxiang, what are you talking about?" ”
"Huh?" Alice tasted Fu Luanxiang's meaning. said with a strange smile: "Sister Luan Xiang wants to say that Wang Feng is out on the expedition, and there is no one around to take care of him, Xiuying, it is not okay for a man to have no woman by his side, especially if he has a woman but he can't touch it, this is even more difficult, in fact, you also like him, you should let go!" ”
After brushing it, Zhou Xiuying's face suddenly turned red, and she stammered: "I have a word first, as long as he passes the Daguan knife in my hand, I will give him my body, but after so many years, he has never been my opponent, so you can't blame me, right?" ”
Fu Luanxiang shook his head: "Xiuying, hundreds of millions of people across the country are pointing to Xiao San for dinner, how much energy do you think he can put into martial arts?" If he can't beat you for the rest of his life, will you be the eldest girl for the rest of your life? You have to be considerate of him, and you should also think about yourself, women, always have to give birth to children, cheap to others is better than cheap to the mistress, you look at us, when you become a mother, you can experience that happiness. ”
Zhou Xiuying looked over, the child running around, innocent and innocent, suddenly, the depths of her heart seemed to be touched, and an indescribable melancholy instantly filled her entire heart.
Maybe it's nice to have a child!
Zhou Xiuying was shy, and wondered: "I have already spoken to him first, if I rely on him like this, wouldn't I teach him to look down on him?" ”
Alice said disapprerovingly: "When you competed with Wang Feng, you deliberately let him get two tricks?" ”
Zhou Xiuying chuckled: "He didn't even dare to do anything with me, how could I let him?" Forget it, let's talk about it when we come back, I shouldn't be able to stay in Beijing for too long. With that, he hurried inward
Zhou Xiuying went home to pick up things, Wang Feng was not idle, and immediately ordered the Engineer Brigade, the Seventh Group Army, the Fourth Army under the First Group Army and Wu Ruxiao's Eleventh Army to move to Jinan, and in the afternoon, he took Yang Shuijiao, Zhou Xiuying, some Black Eagle members and female soldiers of the Women's Special Army to Jinan in advance.
The next day, news came from Nagasaki that the foreigner fleet had been dispatched with all its troops out of Nagasaki port and headed west, which further confirmed the possibility that the foreigners had sacked the Qing Dynasty.
Although the whole army has so far built only one Shanghai-Nanjing railway, the telegraph network is to quickly erect network lines every time it occupies a place, and to this day, the medium-sized and large cities in Jianghuai, Lianghu, Henan, and even South China can exchange news on the same day, but the sea distance from Nagasaki to Shanghai is 850 kilometers, and after the secret agents find out the news, it takes two days to sail back to Shanghai by fast boat day and night, that is to say, Wang Feng's actions have always been two days slower than that of the coalition forces.
It was about 1,800 kilometers from Nagasaki to Tianjin, and it took about five days at the speed of the coalition forces, while the land troops mobilized by Wang Feng were stationed in different places, the nearest was three days away from Jinan, and the farthest was Su Sanniang's Fourth Army, which was 650 kilometers away from Jinan, and it took about six days to arrive.
To erect a pontoon bridge, it is necessary to first defeat the Qing court defenders on the opposite bank, and then count the time to build the bridge, the time from Jinan to Beijing, and the time to fight with the Qing army along the way.
Therefore, Wang Feng can only hope that the Qing court can block it for a few more days, otherwise even the gods will not be able to save Beijing, all he can do is to cut off the back road of the coalition army as much as possible, not let the wealth be lost, and avenge the people of Beijing!
In the race against time, six days passed, and this day was the evening of November 11.
Lan'er leaned back in the chair, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, An Dehai massaged her shoulders, the crispy numb feeling made her slightly sleepy, it seemed that only in this way could she temporarily forget her dead husband.
At this moment, a little eunuch walked quickly and called inward: "Empress Dowager Qi, Prince Gong sent an urgent report to the military aircraft department to ask for a meeting." ”
Military department emergency? Just like a conditioned reflex, Lan'er suddenly opened her eyes and said, "Hurry up!" (To be continued......)
