Chapter 286: It's not that we're really better than foreigners

"After a night of fierce fighting, the Qin army turned the border and annihilated the defenders!"

Bian He's great victory, another heavy medal for the Qin army. Although the newspapers in Guangzhou and Shanghai have been spreading in their localities, the news has always been limited to the local newspapers, and in the Beijing and Tianjin areas, especially in Beijing, except for the big figures in the upper echelons, no one really knows about the success of this battle.

No matter how fast the horse is, it can't be as fast as the telegraph.

It's hard for the bigwigs in Beijing to believe that this will be true. Although they knew that it was true, they really couldn't accept it emotionally! There is a great sense of unreality.

Thirteen years ago, more than 10,000 British and French troops swept away the last Manchu and Mongolian iron cavalry of the Qing Dynasty, breaking the last bones of the Manchu Dynasty. After the Manchu Qing Dynasty went on, they bowed their knees to Britain and France, and did not dare to say a word strictly.

But now—

Liu Xian only 2,000 Qin troops, with more than 2,000 Vietnamese remnants of the defeated generals, day and night to the border and the city, from the beginning to the end of the two days, the real siege battle is less than one night, the three thousand Fayi, although there are many Vietnamese natives in it, but the authentic Europa soldiers of France and Spain also have more than 1,000 people, and there are absolutely superior artillery ......, such strength is cleaned up for Liu Xian, how strong is the combat effectiveness of the Qin army?

The British had first-hand information, and they did not hide anything from Li Hongzhang, and with the successive victories of the Qin army in the war in Vietnam, the attitude of the British towards the Qing Dynasty seemed to have changed somewhat.

Naturally, Li Hongzhang would not hold these materials and not show them to Beijing. Prince Gong, what they saw was the most detailed material. To start the 'assessment' of combat power, the basis is, of course, reliable.

Although before the decisive battle, the defenders of Bianhe lost Yan zhòng, but the Qin army broke through Bianhe City in the middle of the night and completely annihilated the defenders, so that the bigwigs such as the military aircraft department did not even have the strength to evaluate. On the day Luo Shuya received the news of the defeat of Bian Hoa, his attitude changed 180 degrees, and he immediately signed a bilateral "Ceasefire Agreement" with Li Hong Zhangh and Nguyen Phuc Thanh, which also accurately reflected the fact that the French believed that Liu Siam was capable of continuing to attack Saigon.

The Qin army directly beat the French to the guts, and Cheng Dù, who was able to beat the French to the point of being guts, these central officials all had a feeling in their hearts that the Qin army could not be expressed in words.

Abundant? I wanted to see what good strategies these central officials of the court would come up with, but the military aircraft department and the ministers of various ministries were silent, and there was no sign of breaking out of the silence. Everybody won't speak, Yi? And I don't force them. Leave Wen Xiang and Bao Jun two hardcores, and the old prince Yiyun, and let everyone else go out.

Of the four people in the house, three of them don't understand military affairs, and although Yi Xun has been leading Gyeonggi soldiers and horses for many years, he is definitely not an expert in military affairs. But the four of them are definitely the four most powerful and high-status among the Qing courtiers at the moment. After the other ministers went out, the four of them were silent again.

Abundant? is the person with the highest status, and it is not a way to stop talking like this, so he spoke. "Old Seven, how is the Huai Army in Shanghai now?" He found a very boring topic.

"The Huai army in Shanghai still hasn't left the camp these days."

This order was originally Yi? meaning. Shanghai has a special status, and its interests involve all European and American countries in China, and now that the Qin army is fighting the French, he is afraid that if the Huai army in Shanghai makes any more moves, it will give a bad signal to Britain and the United States and other countries. But now it sounds particularly depressing.

Liu Xian has already galloped across the country, defeating France who he dare not look at directly, and the Huai army, which is even more powerful, can only hide in the barracks. Listen to what Yi Xun said, Yi? The face becomes even more difficult to look at.

"I see, it's time for us flag people to train the new army." Abundant? Relaxing his back, the man lay down in a chair and said: "Riding and shooting is no longer useful, and holding on to the remnants will only make the court more and more dependent on the Han people." This is not going to work, it has to be changed. It is not enough to save the situation by relying only on one army, and the Eight Banners must also train the army! ”

"Old Seven, if you want to be absolutely reasonable, you can write an excerpt and hand it to the palace. Our four million nations, can we still pick out tens of thousands of Gancheng who are willing to serve the court and be loyal to the court? ”

"If you don't seek truth, you can be as strong as foreigners. As long as it is not inferior to Xianghuai Chu, it can be. "Yi? Sit up straight again, "Isn't Liu Mingchuan just relying on an army connected by a Frenchman?" Let's please, please Germans. The German army was better than the French! ”

……

Vietnam.

Just five days after the signing of the "Ceasefire Agreement" in Guangzhou, Liu Xian also signed the "Ceasefire Agreement" with Du Bailei on the south bank of the Saigon River, and the day after signing his name, Du Bailei was relieved of his military post and returned to France. Liu Xian didn't even meet with the acting governor of Saigon, and threw Bian Hoa City to Huang Jiyan, who came with his troops, and led the Qin army back to Hue.

Liu Xian had a son, and on the day he led his troops to join the remnants of Wu Zhongping, Zhang Miaotong, who was far away in Liuzhou, gave birth to his first son. The little doll was born with more than six catties, and when it was replaced by the city catties of later generations, it was nearly eight catties. When the news reached Liu Xian, the joy in Liu Xian's heart was endless.

The last shortcoming is gone, and his inheritance has an heir by blood. As long as the strength of the Qin army has accumulated to a certain extent, Liu Xian raised his arms and waved his troops north, and it was time to overthrow the Manchu Qing.

If it weren't for the fact that the war in Vietnam really couldn't get out, Liu Xian would have thought of returning to Liuzhou immediately.

"Bright future?" In front of Ding Zhenduo and others, Liu Xian laughed, "Our momentum is good." But there is still a long way to go. Now the whole world is waiting to see the jokes of our Qin army. "No one will remember the momentary victory or defeat in their hearts.

What if Liu Xian won in Vietnam? Didn't you win on French soil? No one can deny that France's strength is still firmly above the Chinese.

"We hit France this time, which seems to shake the world, but in fact, it is not. The shock we gave to the foreigners was only the power of China to strike at them, and the power of one finger to defeat them. It's just a matter of face, sugar cane can't be sweet at both ends. If our Qin army feels invincible in the world from now on, that is the way to die. ”

"China and Europa are thousands of miles away from each other, and foreigners can't put all their strength into us. This is the same reason as the fact that I won the battle against the Russians in Xinjiang. It's not that we're really stronger than foreigners, it's that foreigners can't put their strength into it. ”

"We're still weak, we have to continue to work hard-"

At the end of September, the Canton negotiations finally reached an agreement: France recognized Vietnam as a vassal state, returned Da Nang and the provinces of Dinh Huong and Vinh Long to Vietnam, fully withdrew the missionaries from Zhongqi and Beiqi, compensated China and Vietnam 1 million francs, and China returned all prisoners of war to the French army.

Other than that, there is not a word. (Want to know more about "Crossing 1862"?) Open WeChat now, click on the "+" sign in the upper right corner, select Add Friends to add an official account, search for "Qidianzhongwenwang", follow the official account, and never miss every update! 51read)R1152
