Hongji attacked Kaihua and arrived in the southeast of Yunnan——

Guangxi swept across the province, and the soldiers pointed to Hunan——

Qinzhou, Lianzhou, and Hainan joined forces to enter Guangdong, and Taiwan divided its troops to take Shantou and capture Chaozhou Mansion.

It doesn't take two months, that is, it sweeps two wide.

There is also the army in Hanzhong, which resists Ganxi in the north, Henan and Hubei in the east, and Sichuan in the south, and will die like a nail in Hanzhong. Let the Qing army in Gansu and Shaanxi and the Qing army in Sichuan and Hubei never be hooked!

Zhang Shoudai looked at the map full of red lines and blue lines in front of him, thinking about the strategy explained by Liu Xian, and sweated profusely. Liu Xian has the largest iron and steel industry in Asia and one of the best arms factories in China, as long as he captures Liangguang in one fell swoop and sets off a momentum that sweeps the world, it is really possible that the power will be too great to be controlled!

"Although your army is strong, what about the sailors? Don't you think that the princes of the court are stupid, and will allow you to wait until all the British warships come back and the sailors are also successful, and then go to war with you? ”

Zhang Shoudai had experienced the battle formation in the end, and his frightened brain quickly calmed down. The only disadvantage of the Qin army at present was spent. Before the arrival of the eight British-built warships, the Qin army now only had the original four ironclad gunboats, four wooden-hulled warships manufactured by the Fujian Mawei Shipyard, two of which were iron-ribbed, and four wooden-hulled gunboats built by the Qinnan Shipyard. Compared with the Mawei Shipmaster and Sailor who were close at hand, and compared with the experienced officers and soldiers of the Shipmaster's Sailor, it was really not a big deal.

"Fourth uncle, you said that I am planning to accumulate strength and raise soldiers and horses. With the intention of anti-Qing, can you not notice the shipmaster and sailor in Mawei? If he is not completely sure, how dare the little nephew do this? ”

Liu Xian handed Zhang Shoudai a fist-sized wooden ball, of course, even if Zhang Shoudai didn't understand Western studies at all. He also knew that this ball was more than just a ball of wood. Holding it in both hands, it is very lightweight, and it seems to be hollow inside.

"Fourth uncle, this thing is called a mine. I don't know if you've heard of it. An invention that existed more than 300 years ago. ”

In the book "Wu Compilation" compiled by Shunzhi of the former Ming Dynasty and Tang Dynasty, the structure and layout method of a "underwater mine" were recorded in detail. At that time, it was used to fight against the Japanese invaders. It is the world's earliest artificially controlled and mechanically fired anchor mine. In the late Ming Dynasty, we Chinese invented the world's earliest drifting thunder - the "underwater dragon king cannon" with incense as the timing fuse. This explanation is very clear, Zhang Shoudai does not move what is called anchor thunder. But the underwater dragon king cannon, a burning incense to make a statement. There is also Wang Minghe's "underwater thunder" with ropes as the contact line, and the later improved contact line drifting mine, which has repeatedly damaged enemy ships in naval battles.

The history of the use of mines by foreigners dates back to the Fifth Russian-Turkish War, which is only a hundred years. At that time, Russian sappers made their first attempt to use drifting mines. Blew up the Ottoman Turkish pontoon bridge to Dunay. "Liu Xian did not explain to Zhang Shoudai what the Russian-Turkish war was, and the 'popular science' of Ta Kung Pao in the past two years has been very good, and many people in China are no longer confused about Europe and the United States. Zhang Shoudai is one of them. And Russia's proximity to China has attracted the attention of some officials.

"Twenty years ago, in the morale of the Crimean War, the Russian B.C. Yatupi invented an electrolyte-triggered anchor mine. Tsarist Russia used this kind of trigger anchor mine in the defense of harbors. Since then, various types of mines have been continuously developed and improved, and have been widely used in the American Civil War. The results of mine warfare were quite good. Since then, foreigners have attached greater importance to mine warfare and invested a lot of manpower and material resources to step up research and manufacture of various types of mines. ”

The mines in Liu's hands were blueprints obtained from Germany. The price of fifty thousand marks is cheap. No less than 700 pieces have been stored in the logistics department of the Qin army. Don't say that a Mawei port, that is, the port of the entire Fujian, Liu Xian dares to say that he is 'covered'!

Beijing recruited Liu Xian into Beijing in late August, and soon after Zhang Shoudai arrived in Tainan, after the news of Liu Xian's illness came out, the time was already mid-September.

At this time, the eight Qin warships were still in the Arabian Sea. Towards India is underway. It is expected that it will take three months to arrive in Taiwan. If Lihe had not brought the design drawings of the mine to Liu Xian half a year ago, the effect would have been quite satisfactory to Liu Xian. He would never have to turn his face with the Qing court at this time. Be clear, in the original plan. Liu Xian never thought of using mines to deal with the shipmaster's sailors.

Zhang Shoudai's face changed rapidly, emotionally he couldn't accept to follow Liu Xian to rebel against the Qing Dynasty, but the correlation between family affection and practical interests made him have great hope for Liu Xian's rebellion. If Liu Xian is defeated, the Zhang family will be finished. Even if he commits suicide by wiping his neck now and commits suicide in front of the Tainan Governor's Yamen, Liu Xian will not be able to seize the country, and the career of the Wudi Zhang family in the Manchu Dynasty will also come to an end. And Liu Xian's true strength also shocked him, more than 100,000 Qin troops, as well as sharp weapons that can restrain the shipmaster and sailors, Liu Xian can't dominate the whole country, and it seems very possible to occupy half of the southeast!

Zhang Shoudai can still think of the scene staged by the Qin army in Beijing last year, the two most elite Niu Lu of the Eight Banners Praetorian Guard, in front of the Qin army, which was inferior in number to him, both attack and defense were defeated.

"The old man is all in the capital, and the Zhang family is under the rule of the Qing Dynasty. Yuan Du, you are not a merciless person, since the rebellion has been planned for a long time, there must be a way to save the Zhang family. As long as you can protect the Zhang Manchu family, the old man will be with you! ”

Liu Xian raised troops, and he had to send arrows on the string! The situation of the outbreak of war is irreparable, Zhang Shoudai is not a pedantic person, he is not a very firm and unyielding person, and he does not have an elm pimple brain, the first thing he thinks of is his family, it is Wudi Zhang, not to serve the Qing Dynasty.

"Haha......" Liu Xian smiled and clapped his hands, "I know that the fourth uncle is not a pedantic person." Fourth uncle, let's see who this person is? ”

With Liu Xian's clapping, a tall and thin person who was completely similar to Zhang Shoudai walked out of the door, and even had a similar face of six or seven points.

"Stand-in?" Zhang Shoudai's head is very flexible. As soon as I saw this person, I understood what Liu Xian meant.

"It's a stand-in. As long as you take drugs on the way back to Beijing, even if the Manchus are angry with Zhang, they must be appeased. When our army broke through Guangzhou, tens of thousands of bannermen were in hand, and the Manchu Qing bears were given gall, and they didn't dare to touch a single hair of Zhang's hair. ”

Liu Xian did not mean to slaughter Man. This is not more than 200 years ago! At that time, it was not unjust to kill all the Eight Banners. But now, more than 200 years later, the Manchus have long been integrated into Han culture. Of course, the blood debts and injustices of their ancestors must be repaid. But Liu Xian will never kill him!

And a very important reason is that Liu Xian overthrew the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he played neither a signboard against the Qing Dynasty and a Ming restoration, nor a slogan of 'expelling the Tartars and restoring China'. His strong strength gives him the confidence to push the whole of China sideways, and he does not need slogans and signboards to attract help.

In this way, Liu Xian does not need to carry the hatred of the 'Ming Dynasty' on his shoulders, but the shame of the Han nation must be borne no matter what. In other words, the elite class of the Han people has been living very well under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in these years, and these people have represented the 'right to speak' of the Han nation in the past two thousand years, so they don't need Liu Xian to overturn the Manchu Dynasty. On the very large journey, Liu Xian seized the world and reformed the world, and the spearhead was more directed at them. Because the Manchus were the enemies of Hongguoguo, they had to mercilessly eliminate the ruling class among them. And the compatriots of the Han nationality cannot be the same. These people have a lot of opportunities and abilities to be opportunistic. It was easy for Liu Xian to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but it was difficult to reform the world.

Liu Xian, who does not have much to do with these elites, and Liu Xian, who does not have much popular base, is more about one dynasty overthrowing another dynasty, not the national revolution of the Han nation in the history of the original time and space.

Of course, that's what he thinks. Where is there any calmness and sanity in this matter? You just wait, in the future, there will be a 'second minister' shouting 'liquidating the Manchu Qing', just like the grandson who took the initiative to shave his hair and change his clothes. It's not for an 'official'! And this kind of person who wants to be an official, for the future, does not want self-esteem, does not want face, and does not want ancestors, there will be no shortage in any era. The Qing Dynasty was especially numerous.

And the last Liu Xian's troops will definitely be linked to 'driving the Manchurian Xinghan'. With this soldier, the bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods from all over the country will pop out, and if Liu Xian doesn't publicize it, someone will naturally promote it for him.

……

Beijing Military Aircraft Department.

The atmosphere was silent and cold, although the temperature in the room was really not the slightest cold.

"Ahem...... Wen Xiang covered his mouth and coughed again, which was the only voice in the military aircraft department. As soon as the temperature cooled down in autumn, Wen Xiang's body collapsed. But he is still the No. 2 person in the Military Aircraft Department, whether it is Prince Gong or the two queen mothers in the palace, no one shows the slightest intention of asking him to give way. Even the nominal No. 2 person in the current Military Aircraft Department, Prince Alcohol, has a lot of respect for Wen Xiang.

"Treading ......"

A series of hurried footsteps came from the outside and from the inside, and reached the ears of everyone in the military aircraft department. A military aircraft Zhang Jing came in almost like a runner, "Tainan, Zhang Zhongtang's telegram!" ”

The six people in the military aircraft department still did not move, and the military aircraft Zhang Jing did not seem to expect this to be the case. Tainan, Zhang Shoudai's telegram, what an important thing this is, why didn't the six bigwigs react?

The telegram was handed over to Prince Gong, and the military machine Zhang Jing was about to open his mouth to briefly report the contents of the telegram. Abundant? With a flick of his finger, the military aircraft Zhang Jing immediately closed his mouth, turned around and withdrew from the military aircraft department.

The telegram quickly circled in the hands of the six men, and the already silent atmosphere of the military aircraft department became almost frozen.

"Traitors should be punished!"

It was difficult for the two princes to understand Liu Xianam's thoughts. Is it just that a little grievance that will lead to a rebellion?

Wen Xiang and Bao Jun are pure anger, anger towards the rebels.

Li Hongzao and Shen Guifen are silent. They also didn't understand how Liu Xian's brain was long. And the two of them have begun to feel pity for the Zhang family in their hearts...... (To be continued) R640
