Yang Meng was preparing, and Erjin was also preparing, in order to further test some of what Yang Butang said, Erjin decided to give up attacking Jinkou first, and instead test the coastal defense of the five major commercial ports.

After negotiating with Yang Meng, what Yang Meng said was conveyed by Pashali to the Imperial High Staff Group stationed on Hong Kong Island, and their previous intention was to directly attack Jinkou and threaten the Qing Emperor to make a compromise.

However, Yang Meng's crazy expression made the senior staff have to respond accordingly, and once what Yang Meng said comes true, the impact on England's Far East policy is also immeasurable.

Since the Humen artillery battle, the British army still put the target near Guangzhou, after several attempts, the results obtained, also somewhat unsatisfactory, outside the Humen Pearl River estuary, all the Qing artillery forts were almost abandoned, although the buildings are there, but the artillery has been withdrawn.

In the area outside Humen, the British army can also land at will, but the scope of the landing can only be limited to a range of one or two miles above the land, that is, within the approximate range of the naval guns.

In view of the losses in the first Battle of Humen, Ergin, as the commander-in-chief, decisively gave up the land battle with the Qing army.

There was an army in Guangzhou that was enough to annihilate 2,000 British troops, and even if 5,000 men were sent to destroy this Qing army, Ergin estimated that his side would probably suffer more than half of the casualties. Dead and wounded soldiers and lost battleships. It's still a little different. The successive losses of more than 1,000 soldiers are very detrimental to the government's decision-making and are easily questioned by the people at home.

In the early stage, Yang Butang used European newspapers to put the English government in an embarrassment, although the Palmerston cabinet has turned the tide, but the domestic view of the Qing State has changed, if Elgin's side suffers defeat. It is easy to bring about a great change in England, a great change that is not good for the government.

Moreover, the place of Guangzhou is also an extremely tricky place for the English government, with shipyards from five countries, merchants from Britain, France, the United States and Germany participating in the shares, and many European merchants relying on businessmen from Britain, France, the United States and Germany also participating in it, and the wealth of tens of millions of pounds is enough to trigger wars between countries.

The businessmen who can take out this wealth also have considerable influence in Europe. Unlike the Qing Dynasty, the British Empire also had to pay attention to the situation in Europe. Although the British Empire is the world's first power, it is not an invincible country, in Europe, at least France, Germany, and Eros can be compared with it, perhaps England has a considerable advantage in the navy, but the English army, Europe is recognized as inferior to the French army.

Qing Guo closed the country, can not take into account the international situation, but if England does not take into account the international situation, I am afraid that it will become a public enemy of Europe, many times, in Hong Kong Island in the British high staff, are extremely envious of Yang Meng, because he can only consider things from the perspective of his own country, do not need to care about the attitude of other countries, and Qing politicians have always done this.

In Ergin's eyes, the capture of Guangzhou is not a big problem, he believes that as long as the army on Hong Kong Island is hit and pays a certain number of casualties, Guangzhou can be captured, but what about after the capture of Guangzhou?

What about the shipyards of these five countries? Once that Yang Butang took the shipyard of the Five Kingdoms to talk about things, the situation in England was going to be passive again, and in view of the combat strength of the Qing Army, the Gao Staff Group did not believe much in Ergin's remarks that he could easily capture Guangzhou.

A Humen fort buried nearly 3,000 English soldiers and seven warships before and after, and I am afraid that what Ergin said about the light capture of Guangzhou refers to the time, and the loss is probably at least a result of more than half of the casualties.

Although it has touched the weakness of the Qing State, but Yang Butang took the lead in the early stage, the current situation is still a stalemate, the loss of attacking Guangzhou is too great, the full-scale war is insufficient, the British high staff, in order to break the situation, can only turn the target to the other four commercial ports, if the other four commercial ports, also like Guangzhou, then the British Empire must move the target north, the gun port aimed at the Qing State's Gyeonggi Jinkou.

Moreover, if you want to capture Jinkou, 15,000 men and horses are not enough, and the overreaction of Guangzhou made the Gao Staff Group decide to apply to the government again to reinforce the Far East.

Reinforcements are reinforcements, and raids and temptations are also necessary, so as to further deal a blow to Yang Butang's arrogant and tough attitude, and the defense of the other four major commercial ports is also related to the number of reinforcements to the British and the number of warships.

The British army's temptation is similar to the battle of Gengzi, starting from Xiamen, the battle of Xiamen, the British army sent five medium-sized warships, because the mines and live mines are not properly prepared, the batteries in Xiamen also fought a small-scale artillery battle with the British warships, the two sides were injured by each other, the British two battleships were damaged, and Xiamen also paid more than 200 people killed and wounded.

This battle was a bit hasty, but it was enough to test the defense of Xiamen, which was similar to the conjecture of Erjin and others, and it was still not easy to capture Xiamen.

Next is the first line of Dingzhen where Shanghai Road and Ningbo are located, here Yang Meng can mostly use the new army, Ma Qinghu is the commander, attacking the British fleet on the first line of Dingzhen, first touched Yang Meng's newly made anchor mine in the sea area with complex water conditions, the power of this anchor mine is good, as long as it explodes under the bottom of the ship, even if it is a battleship, it is difficult to absorb that power.

For this reason, the British army paid a battleship carrying eighty-four guns, and when approaching the Dinghai Fort, the group of small boats on the sea aroused the vigilance of the British commander, and did not give Ma Qinghu a chance to expand the results of the battle, and the British army decisively chose to retreat.

The mines triggered by the British battleships are only a part of the reality for Yang Meng, and the mines can easily sink medium-sized warships, so the power is okay, and the results of a battleship are enough for Yang Meng to arrange mines in large numbers.

The unfavorable English chose to continue to attack the five major commercial ports, and the military strength that Yang Meng arranged in these five major commercial ports was also slowly tested by the British army, such a military strength is definitely a threat to more than 10,000 British troops, and that Yang Butang's attitude is also very clear, in addition to the five major commercial ports. The rest of the place. You can log in as you like. Fighting a land war, it seems that Yang Butang is full of confidence.

The southern waters of the Qing Dynasty were basically in a stalemate, and the British army's exploration of the northern waters was also in progress, and unlike the strict defense of the southern seas, the defense of the northern waters of the Qing Dynasty was in vain, and the British warships first landed once in Denglai. Then they approached their main target, Tsuguchi.

The monk Grinqin who defended Jinkou had no decisive and ruthless attitude towards Yangyi when he treated the long-haired thief, and after several warnings, the fort in Jinkou symbolically fired a few shots, and this result was much more than the British commander expected, and they seemed to have neglected something important.

"Third master, in the past three months, Yingyi's temptation has reached Denglai and Jinkou. The reaction of the monk Grinqin in Jinkou is not very appropriate, how should we deal with it? ”

Trimester. It was very long and short for a war, and the temptation of England, from the south to the north, and the timidity of Monk Lingqin made Yang Meng's side passive again.

"The monk of the dog day is a fool, he is very energetic to deal with the long-haired thief and beat his own people, how can he meet a foreign devil, but this thing is cowardly! Fight and kill, such a soft egg, he should be gelding and let him serve the emperor of the four-color stick.

After the news came from the normal channel, he lied that the five had destroyed more than ten British ships, and asked for the order to kill the monk Greenqin, as for the reason! Slack, afraid of the enemy, ineffective response, please degrade the monk Greenqin people as slaves, and never turn over! ”

Jinkou's ineffective response is to expose the weakness of the Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that Ergin's house will soon come back to its senses, but Yingli's action against Jinkou is not harmful to Yang Meng, the more people Erjin sends, the more good it is for Yang Meng, if Jinkou starts a war, he will have an excuse to enter the king of Jingqin.

Controlling the Jingshi and controlling the emperor is to control the Qing Dynasty, and the stumbling block of the Qing Dynasty has finally come to an end.

"Third master, isn't it too much to degrade his people as slaves?"

"Hey! That's nonsense! The four-color stick is reluctant to kill Monk Greenqin, the purpose of our doing this is just to force Monk Greenqin to send out the fire on his body, so weak, I am afraid that when we enter the King of Jingqin, the Jingshi will already be occupied by foreign devils! ”

Thinking of the day of King Qin, Yang Meng's mood was also much happier, and after a few months of waiting, he finally waited for the opportunity, and the speed of English testing was too slow for Yang Meng.

"Third Master, how is the strength of this King Qin arranged?"

"Wei Huozi's 60,000 new army, half of which is 30,000, 120,000 Tibetan troops are 80,000, Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi are 40,000 troops, and Lianghu and Anhui and Jiangxi are 50,000 troops, a total of 200,000 troops, which is enough to control the Beijing division!

From now on, Wei Huozi's people and horses will be dressed as horse gangs and business travelers into Jiangsu through the three provinces of Sichuan, Hubei and Anhui, so that the people of Jiangsu can choose a barren mountain to camp.

The people of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi walked the Yangtze River waterway, and entered Jiangsu in disguise as business travelers.

The new army of Anhui and Jiangxi in the two lakes pretended to be a civilian man to enter Jiangsu by land, and Ding Taichen was responsible for the barges and expenses required. ”

Xu Ziwei didn't expect that the third master made a huge move, with 200,000 troops, almost emptying the army on the Tibetan side, as for the new army in other places, it was basically newly trained in the past few years, and the Yang family's muscles and bones were not moved, so there was an army of 200,000, and Xu Ziwei, who has not paid much attention to the military, only then did he know how much family business the third master had laid in recent years.

"Two hundred thousand? Is there too much of a third master? ”

"Not much! Outside the Yangyi, inside to block the soldiers of the king of Qin in various places, 200,000 is a little insufficient, but the Qing Dynasty is almost out of breath now, 200,000 horses, so as to give some opportunities to people who do not admit defeat in various places, otherwise how can we have a chance to slaughter them?

Give them two months to assemble, a month to rest and adapt, and another three months, I'm afraid it's going to start over there!

Exercise! Lao Tzu has also been cowardly recently, facing the English people with many scruples, why is it the turn of the Qing Dynasty that Lao Tzu is also energetic? ”

Yang Meng is also quite helpless in this regard, the reason is actually in the Qing Dynasty, in the face of the weak Qing Dynasty, Yang Meng's arrangement has no pressure, but in the face of the English, Yang Meng's pressure is very great, because the strength of the two sides is different!

"The third master wants the chief to remind you from time to time?"

After catching Yang Sanye's words, Xu Ziwei also understood the meaning, the third master was afraid that he would have too many worries after entering Beijing, and he would have to compromise!

"Hmmm! It is this meaning, we will not compromise in the face of the small things of Yangyi sesame mung beans, and we will not eat the slightest hidden loss!

Even at an unacceptable price for it! If this thing is done, Lao Tzu may be able to let you play a group of foreign women, and all sizes will be successful! ”

Staring at Xu Ziwei, only green light appeared in Yang Meng's eyes, and it was time to fight back, whether he was a real beast or not would have to be tested on the body of a foreign devil, and it was time for mercy and mercy to disappear.

"The chief is afraid that the third master will be liquidated later!"

Xu Ziwei smiled bitterly, this is to make himself a villain!

"A glass of wine releases military power, burns down the heroes' building, there must always be villains behind the advice, when the war is chaotic, your ability is limited, and when it comes to the stable season, it is you Xu Jichang who is ready to settle the world."

Usurpation of the throne, opening the dynasty, it's time to really go into battle shirtless, enemies, cronies, friends, retainers are not credible, what is credible is the authority in the hand, whoever holds it, who is the supreme, who is the first in the world, can't hold it, it's just a dead man!
