Chen Wending heard Li Yansheng say this, and said with great joy, "Senior brother's actions like this really make me Vietnam suffer from a long drought!" It's just that, "Chen Wending is not a fool, how can there be such a person who has done righteous deeds to fund arms for himself several times, you must know that Li Yansheng is a person from Kunming, and the local family is also considered a medium-sized family, nor is he a wealthy businessman, how can he have such financial resources to help him for free?" The previous time it could be said that it was a righteous help, but this time before he could speak, Li Yansheng had already prepared something, "Although the gentleman has the friendship of wealth, but the amount of this arms is huge, I am afraid that my Shenglong Mansion will not be able to pay it."

"Brother, what are you still trying to figure out at this time?" Li Yansheng laughed and shook his fan, "If you want to know, it doesn't hurt for me to tell you, the DPRK filmed our master to come to Vietnam, and it can't stop the French on the surface, don't think that he is in the limelight in Hue City, but between countries, it is still necessary to rely on strength to speak, not on etiquette and benevolence, how strength speaks, of course, it depends on armament." ”

"The Black Flag Army is worthy of a battle, but unfortunately the armament is not good, I will give you wings, isn't it?"

Chen Wending was silent, and thought for a long time before he spoke, "What does Shangguo want to do." ”

"The kingdom hopes that you will resist it for a while, lest the French will be invincible and China will not even have time to support."

Chen Wending was overjoyed, "Does the kingdom really want to help?" ”

"It's natural, otherwise what would the teacher and I do in Vietnam? If China wants to see the fall of Vietnam, it only needs to be a cold bystander in Hue that day, but I am afraid that at this time, the credentials of your country to be incorporated into France have already been issued. Li Yansheng said, "Now that China has not reached the point of direct intervention, then now we can only rely on Vietnam's own resistance, people can't send it, in the end weapons can be given," Li Yansheng took out a booklet and handed it to Chen Wending. "This time, you can just use the list."

"What does the kingdom want?" Chen Wending nodded, "It's clear that the foolish brother wants to take these muskets." ”

"It's nothing more than the word revenge, which is Xisheng's long-cherished wish. You have been in China for a long time, and you know why Emperor Wenzong hunted in the north in the past," Li Yansheng said, "Moreover, Vietnam is also a **** barrier." You must not let the French power reach the border between Yunnan and Guizhou, the existence of Vietnam and the existence of Kokand are the same, you know this best, and you don't have to blame me for being so direct. ”

Tran Van Dinh agreed, "Vietnam is a vassal of the upper kingdom. ”

"Since you know this section, you understand our intentions, and the country is willing to talk about these weapons to you, the first is to see your loyalty to the country, and the second is naturally the Black Flag Army. I won't secretly invest in these things, and if you take something, you will naturally have to make a difference. Senior brother, I'll just say something," Li Yansheng stood up, his expression serious, "Shenglong Mansion can hold it, and if it can't be held, it doesn't matter," Chen Wending also quickly stood up and obeyed the order, "You can't care about a momentary mistake." The key is to win the battle. ”

"Winning the battle?" Although Chen Wending is quite proficient in martial arts, he can't understand the sentence that he can't hold the Shenglong Mansion, but what it means to win the battle, "Senior brother, please make it clear." ”

"If China wants to intervene. It's not about two or three hundred people, you know? Li Yansheng said, "If we make a big fuss and can't really solve Vietnam's predicament, this group of legal entities will fail, and there will inevitably be more successors in the future." Is it possible that we need to help Vietnam again and again? Although it can't be done once and for all, then at least it must be a peace for one or two decades. ”

Chen Wending's face became a little ugly, but he also knew that it was necessary, "Then I will destroy these people first, and then sweep the main force of France into the water of the Red River." ”

"That's right," Li Yansheng nodded, "If it weren't for that, we would never really be able to help Vietnam, it's still the dry season, the French warships are too big to drive outside Thang Long Mansion, you have a lot of time, these muskets are given to you, three days later, go to Wuyun Trading House, and get artillery again!" ”

Li Yansheng left suddenly, Chen Wending stayed where he was, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, he shook his head with a wry smile, "Please invite Admiral Liu to discuss the matter!" At this time, apart from believing in these Chinese, he really didn't know what other way to resist the French, and the Great Southern Tianzi in Hue City was ready not to worry about whether his land would fall.

Liu Yongfu arrived at Chen Wending's Governor's Palace, he had just gone to Thang Long Mansion to inspect it, although he heard that there were still firearms to use, but he still poured cold water on Chen Wending, "Thang Long Mansion is no longer the Xiongcheng of the previous dynasty, the city wall is old, the French cannons are only afraid of a few bombardments, they can break the city wall, if you want to defend Thang Long Mansion, my brothers will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, even if there are many firearms, it will not work." ”

Chen Wending only needs to ask Liu Yongfu, "The Black Flag Army is good at sneak attacks and ambushes, and it is by no means an offensive and defensive battle, nor is it a frontal confrontation. ”

"It's not proper, Thang Long Mansion is an important town in Beiqi, if you retreat without a fight, the situation in Beiqi will be irreparable, and the people's will will be lost by then, and it will not be possible to launch a counteroffensive again."

Liu Yongfu just disagreed, Chen Wending got up and bowed again and again, so he reluctantly let Liu Yongfu agree to garrison Thang Long Mansion, "It's just that Baosheng City is close to China, and I am afraid that the Chinese army will attack, and there will never be many soldiers and horses on the side of Thang Long Mansion." ”

This is also a helpless thing, Chen Wending's soldiers are usually stationed in Thang Long Mansion to maintain law and order, if they go into battle to fight, it is not possible, the Vietnamese at this time are also like the Qing army in the Daoxian period, suffering from foreign hypochondriasis, seeing the blonde French, it is too late to kneel, where can you do it?

Therefore, the Black Flag Army of 200 people was stationed in Thang Long Province, and there was no one over Haiphong Port, and the French easily occupied Haiphong Port, and marched along the bank of the Red River from Haiphong Port to the northwest, all the way effortlessly, captured Nam Dinh, Fuli, Leshan, and attacked Thang Long Province.

The strange thing at this time should be the most strong reaction of the Qing Dynasty did not say a hard word, but only accelerated the negotiations on the Suez Canal shares, and reduced the price of the shares to 18 million francs, the French took advantage of this to determine that "the Chinese do not dare to use force with the French at all" and let the French ambassador Albert continue to exert pressure, must use the most reasonable price to buy the shares of the Suez Canal, so that the French can maximize their rights and interests in the Suez Canal.
