Chapter 642: The Vanishing Lin Ji Li

The ironclad ship is still a long-term thing, the number of ten ships is far from enough for Yang Meng, and adding a zero may make him ecstatic, but now, ten ships may be difficult to protect themselves, and there is nothing to celebrate...... Read the latest and most complete novels

The top priority was the Northern Expeditionary Army of Lin Ji and Li, for the Qing Dynasty, France was not a threat, and the only one who could really threaten the Qing Dynasty at sea was the English family.

The location of Hong Kong Island is very annoying, and the troops, grain, and ships can be arranged here, and England has this outpost, and it also has the basis for a large-scale war with the Qing Dynasty.

Without India, England still had Milicone, a half-enemy and half-friend partner, and the Treaty of Wangxia involved Millican's interests, and Britain and the United States could be regarded as the same enemy in their stance on dealing with the Qing Dynasty.

Once there was a food supply from Millican, a large-scale war was not an unbearable burden for England, and Hong Kong Island was now a major problem at sea.

Let the imperial court send troops to attack, I am afraid that the people in the imperial court do not have the courage to do so, and Lin Ji Li, who is already at the end of his rope, is undoubtedly a good choice. Lin Ji Li's men and horses are all from Liangguang, and if they go there to fight, they have an innate advantage.

Yang Meng also does not want this group of people to recapture Hong Kong Island, they can make Hong Kong Island unstable, which is the best result.

"Taichen, how is the plan for the withdrawal of Lin Ji Li's group?"

Ding Taichen, who frowned because of the fifty ironclad ships, didn't react, and glanced at the third master in a daze, with a puzzled expression on his face.

"Lao Tzu asks you, how is Lin Ji Li's affairs doing? This ironclad is a slow-working thing, and it's useless. Just do it!

It really can't be built. Can Lao Tzu still kill you? ”

In the matter of ironclads. Yang Meng can also understand Ding Taichen's difficulties, but difficulties are difficulties, and there are some things that must be done.

"Oh...... Almost, some of the warships collected in recent years have been repaired by us and used as merchant ships, and now there are more than 7,000 people left in Lin and Li. Twenty ships are enough, and if you squeeze them, ten will make it work.

Fuliang practiced in Guangzhou, 7,000 people boarded the ship, if it was more convenient, it would be possible to go to sea in the middle of the night, as long as there was a rainy day, we could do it at any time. ”

I took a look at the spirit, and in the past few years, I haven't followed the third master to do things. In addition, there are too many miscellaneous things in Guangzhou, and Ding Taichen can't keep up with Yang Meng's train of thought.

"Hmm...... It's good to have practiced. Send out twenty ships and bring a part of the new army, if this Lin Li's men and horses want to turn against the water, just sink them in the sea!

This is Yutu, Xin'an and Guishan in Guangdong, which is the place where Lao Tzu wants to install Lin Li and people. ”

took out the map of Guangdong, and Yang Meng slowly drew a big circle in Xin'an and Guishan, which are close to Hong Kong Island.

"Third master, are Lin Li's men and horses included in the new army?"

Ding Taichen is very familiar with the topography of Liangguang, and as soon as he looks at the geography of Xin'an and Guishan, he knows that the target this time is Hong Kong Island.

"Nope! is still in the name of the Taiping Army! Classified into the new army, this matter will be counted on Lao Tzu's head, let Lin Li in the name of the Taiping Army, go to Hong Kong Island, recently you arrange a group of sea ships for them, Xin'an and Guishan near the port is numerous, find a shallow place to place them.

Allocate 3,000 shadows and new troops, make up 10,000 for the two, and use brown beth and English mortars for guns, and let Fuliang help Lin Li train his manpower.

At the same time, 5,000 new troops were allocated to monitor Lin Li's men and horses, and if Lin Li wanted to turn against the water, he would dispose of them and let the new army attack Hong Kong Island in the name of the Taiping Army.

After you go back this time, after the food, ships, and guns are ready, go to Jinghai to pick up people! Try to be as secretive as possible, the ship will fly the English flag, and Lao Tzu will write an article on the matter of Ringy Lee. ”

Lin Ji Li's Northern Expeditionary Army, who can survive until now, is basically some outlaws, with this group of people, plus the new army and shadow, the combat power is also considerable, a team of 10,000 people, for today's Hong Kong Island, is not a small number, once Lin Li led people to Hong Kong Island, the trouble of England has just begun.

"Third Master, is it safe to use Lin and Li? The Taiping army believes in foreign religions, don't send them to Hong Kong Island, these people will follow the foreigners again. ”

Ding Taichen's worries are not untargeted, what is Lin Li, Yang Meng has not personally touched it, it seems that Lin Li still needs some secret hands.

"Hmmm! That's right, didn't I let Fuliang prepare to plunder some foreign women? Just started on Hong Kong Island, the men killed all the men, and the women robbed them, and after coming so many times, they were mortal enemies of each other.

Let Fu Liang control the number of people killed, it must not be too small, otherwise this grudge can still be resolved. ”

The people of the Qing Dynasty, the court of the Qing Dynasty, especially the people of the south, and the court of the Qing Dynasty, really did not have much sense of belonging.

Ding Taichen's worries are not unreasonable, England's policy towards the colonies has also been verified by practice, and it is not clear that there is really the ability to persuade Lin and Li over there!

"Got it! Third master, are there any other arrangements over there in Guangzhou? ”

"Recently, the trade in grain, gold and silver has been the mainstay, and the English have been severely suppressed and the Germans have been vigorously supported.

Reporter, do you know what it is? ”

Britain and France are feuding and iron-clad, and only Germany is the only country that can be allies in Europe, although this country is not a good bird, but their ambitions for Europe are far greater than their ambitions for the Qing Dynasty, and the enemy's enemy is a friend, as long as they do not lose the war this time and do not sign a contract, then the Qing Dynasty and Germany have no direct conflict of interest.

To make an international article, Britain and France obviously will not stand on the position of the Qing Dynasty, Germany! To be dug up.

"Yes, a Western newspaper writer."

"Yo...... It's a strange thing, how do you know about them? ”

"Yunyan! In recent years, many foreigners have said that clouds and smoke are harmful to people, and there are many foreign newspaper reporters in Guangzhou. ”

"This is a good thing, I remember that there was an emperor in the former Ming Dynasty who was good at eating tobacco and soil. Make a fuss about this. Yunyan was passed down by the court of the former Ming Dynasty. The secret medicine of the Qing Imperial Palace, the secret of the longevity of the Kangxi and Qianlong emperors.

Longevity is not important, the important thing is that Yunyan is a secret of the Qing Palace, and it cannot be touched by idle people. ”

The mess of Yunyan must be borne by someone, and the newborn Yunnan is obviously not a good object, and the declining and dilapidated Qing Dynasty is a good choice.

It is nothing more than a closed information channel now. Many things will dissipate in the long river of history, and after the imperial court gives the cloud smoke formula to the powers, this matter will have an end.

"I'll let Minghu take care of these things.

Third master, you haven't been back to Yunnan for several years, shouldn't you go back and have a look in the near future?

Although the old man doesn't say anything, he still remembers you very much! ”

Since the Taiping Army, Yang Meng led the army into Guangxi. I haven't been back to Yunnan for many years, although I went out to be an official. It is also common not to return to his hometown for more than ten years, but for the old man of the Yang family, the third child is a piece of meat, and he has not missed it for many years.

"Hmmm! In the near future! The river project was about to be completed, and when I was inspecting the river, I took the opportunity to go back. ”

For Yang Meng, now this struggle for power and profit is an extremely fun game, he has been a little immersed in it in recent years, this time back to Yunnan, he still has something to do, Tiffany on the West Mountain Turret, should also be used, when negotiating with foreigners, multiple foreign women as secretaries, it is also a matter of face.

"Third master, there are many things to do in Guangzhou, I want to go back."

"What's the hurry? It's time for you to go back to Yunnan to take a look, come and go for more than ten days, and don't delay the big thing.

Lin Li's affairs, just let Fuliang take over first, and in the next few years, I'm afraid that if you want to go back, you won't have time. ”

Yang Meng had always been tepid before, whether it was against the imperial court or the Taiping army, he could deal with it calmly, but the next time was different.

Civil strife is a matter of one's own family, fighting life and death behind closed doors, it doesn't matter who wins and who loses, but it is different for outsiders.

Fought well, the dynasty was prosperous; If you don't fight well, you will sink into the sea of suffering; In this world, there is no place to find a stable realm that can live well without fighting.

"Let's talk about this matter after Lin Li is dealt with! Lin Li's matter was arranged by me and Fu Liang, who has been training in the Ship Master School recently, and I am afraid that when he arrives in Jinghai, he will not be able to hold it back, and he will fight with the people of the imperial court. ”

"You sue Yang Fuliang, there will be a lot of battles in the future, if you stab Lao Tzu's hornet's nest in Jinghai this time, he will have no future."

Yang Fuliang needs to be restrained, there are not many people in the Yang family who can restrain this guy, Yang Meng is one, Ding Taichen is also one, after thinking about it, Yang Meng also responded to Ding Taichen's request, Lin Li can't tolerate the slightest carelessness.

Sending away Ding Taichen, who was in a hurry, Yang Meng took a look at the battle report of Anhui and Jiangxi, Zeng Zuo and the two of them were in a bitter battle, and the Taiping Army's protection of Anhui and Jiangxi became stronger and stronger, which was not a bad thing for Yang Meng.

This shows that Yang Xiuqing's family has recently devoted all their efforts to political affairs, and has no intention of fighting, and when the provocation of foreigners arrives, the article of the Taiping Army can also start.

The river project, which lasted more than half a year, has slowly entered the finishing stage, although it is a little hasty, but the river that has been sorted out will always be better than the one that has fallen into disrepair, let's make a living!

Ding Taichen returned to Guangzhou, 25 merchant ships converted from warships, took advantage of one night to sail into the sea, as the cloud and smoke trade became bigger and bigger, there were more and more merchant ships from various countries in the Pearl River estuary, and for some things of navigation, the Yang family's fleet was also very well mastered, and in his own territory, let more than 20 merchant ships come and go without a trace, Ding Taichen can still do it easily.

Twenty days later, the Northern Expeditionary Army to which Lin Jili belonged of the Taiping Army disappeared in Jinghai, the northern and southern camps of Seng Lingqin and Shengbao were still there, and the long-haired thieves in Jinghai City did not make any changes in advance, so they disappeared silently.

When Lin Jili's men and horses were gone, and the officers and soldiers on the front line couldn't say, since the last time they broke through and lost their troops, the long-haired thieves in Jinghai City have always been silent.

Who would have thought that the last time the city was attacked, the officers and soldiers actually climbed the city wall of Jinghai lightly, and the officers and soldiers on the city wall also looked very afraid in the face of the Jinghai in the face of the dead city-like Jinghai.

There is no life, although there is some smoke in Jinghai City, but the silent Jinghai County is hairy, Monk Greenqin gave an order, the army was stationed in Jinghai, but the whole city was searched, except for mice, there was no living person in the city.

This thing is very bizarre, within two days' effort, as soon as the heavenly soldiers and generals said it, it was spread among the army of Seng Lingqin and Shengbao, and the impact of this thing on the military heart was great.

Whether it is the Mongolian iron cavalry of Seng Lingqin, the elite of the Eight Banners, or the elite of Jiangnan in the hands of Shengbao, in the past two days, there are a lot of deserters in the barracks, and there are also a lot of incense and Buddha worshippers, which is definitely a ruining blow to the military heart, once Lin Ji Li's men and horses kill back the horse gun, the nearly 100,000 troops around Tianjin Wei are afraid that they will collapse.

The military orders of Monk Lingqin and Shengbao, although they are severe, but this can't stop the officials and soldiers at all, the awe of the long-haired thief, and the disappearing Lin Ji Li Department is really too weird, except for the gods and monsters, there seems to be no other theory that can confirm the mystery of Lin Ji Li's disappearance.

Monk Greenqin's battle report, when it arrived at the imperial court, not only caused Emperor Xianfeng to be angry, but also scolded the military plane, when is it now? In the land of Gyeonggi, what if Ringgil-li's target is Gyeongshi? (To be continued......)
