33. Beiqi Golden Drum (3)
Bao Jun was a little puzzled, "What does the prince mean?" ”
"This money, you have long said that you will be ready to use it," Prince Gong lowered his head and took a sip of tea, "If you are in a hurry to use the money, then you will naturally have to make concessions to the French." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Bao Jun understood, of course, it was the things that Prince Alcohol and Chongqi Zai Ling were messing around, "Lord Wise, I know what to do." ”
"There is not enough silver, so naturally you have to be cautious about spending money," Prince Gong said, he really had a grievance, and was robbed of the limelight by Zuo Zongtang in the military aircraft department, not to mention, the key is that the plan proposed by Chongqi is really unbearable, Rao is Prince Gong has an excellent temperament, and when he saw the fold, he still couldn't help but jump violently, and there was smoke in the seven orifices, "Let the big guy take a look outside, whether this plan is good, if you think it's not good, you naturally have to change it, if you think it's good, then this silver is not less." , Everyone thinks this method is good, and then there is no silver, so you, the head of the household, are waiting to be caught with pigtails. ”
Jing Lian was a little worried, but he didn't say anything, Bao Jun nodded, "As long as the news is released, the masters in the flag will naturally make trouble, and when there is no silver, nothing can be done, and if the reform of the Eight Banners cannot be done, it is naturally in vain, according to the temperament of the Queen Mother, it is impossible to make the things that have been decided not to be done, then it will naturally make concessions on the Suez Canal, and as soon as there is a concession, the affairs of Vietnam will be properly resolved, Lord Wang," Bao Jun gave a thumbs up, "It's really high." ”
"If the matter in Vietnam can be solved, then there will be no other turmoil, and the matter with Russia, then it is natural to deal with domestic affairs in the future, and I, the foreman of the military aircraft, cannot blindly look at the small vassal countries, domestic affairs are the most important, and the peace of the Tongzhi Dynasty for more than ten years must be maintained in this dynasty."
Since the Tongzhi Dynasty, there have been no major wars, small turmoil has continued, but the heart of the Central Plains has been calm.
Zhang Jing, the foreman of the military aircraft, walked in from outside, and he bowed slightly to Prince Gong, "King Yizheng, there is news from Liangguang that the French have set off from Thang Long Mansion and sent troops to all parts of Beiqi. ”
"Send troops?" Prince Gong raised his eyebrows and said, "He has only a few hundred people, how can he send troops?" ”
"Vietnam has entered the rainy season, the Red River is very strong, Li Weili has a military boat to transport soldiers, and Saigon has sent no less than 500 reinforcements."
"I see," Prince Gong nodded, and said indifferently, "you go down." ”
"The French actually sent troops?" Bao Jun said, "They are also ambitious, relying on a few hundred people to prepare to destroy Vietnam?" ”
"It's nothing more than a posturing," said Prince Gong, "and the French want to force people to comply, and this gesture is naturally necessary." The Queen Mother said that she would wait, so let's wait and see if the French will win a big victory or be embattled. ”
The rainy season is coming soon, the air is filled with humid moisture, which makes people feel stuffy and very uncomfortable, the Red River is turbulent, rushing towards the east, on the edge of the pier of Thang Long Province, the huge warship is towering under the impact of the current, the soldiers standing in two rows carry muskets and step on the goose step proudly on the warship, on the city wall of Thang Long Province that has been renovated, the commander of the French army, Captain Li Willy of the Cochinchina Navy, is watching the movement on the pier with goggles, until the warship leaves the dock, everything is safe and sound, Only then did he feel relieved and exhaled slightly.
"Colonel, why are you worried about those Chinese? In my opinion, they have lost the opportunity to dominate Thang Long, so they will never have the guts to fight our invincible French army again, and you don't need to worry at all. ”
"We must be careful in everything, Mr. Counselor," Willy Lee continued to look through his binoculars at the movements on both sides of the Red River, "have you forgotten the fiasco we suffered twenty years ago outside of Beijing?" You must know that France at that time was much stronger than the current French national strength, and the soldiers were of course better, and if we fought head-on, we didn't need to worry about losing to the Chinese, but they used conspiracy," Willy Lee put down his binoculars and shook his head, "Our soldiers will not be able to resist." ”
"But as far as I know, the Chinese here are nothing more than garbage driven out by the Chinese government," the counselor shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, "This is different from the situation at the beginning, when China probably used all its strength and resources against our thousands of heroic soldiers, and in this sense, our soldiers are still glorious, ah God," the counselor wiped the sweat from his forehead, "this damn place is hotter than Saigon, let's go to a cool place and continue the discussion." ”
The two men went down the city wall, and the counselor continued, "It is impossible for these people to be recognized and financed in China, and I know that the information is not less, yes, you must know that the ruler of Guangxi and Guangdong, in the north of Vietnam, is a person who was given the title of high official after suppressing the rebellion, and it is impossible for such a person to compromise with the rebels, which is the same as that His Majesty the Emperor Napoleon will not compromise with the anti-French alliance." ”
"I don't deny that any conspiracy is based on a certain strength, so they don't have any funding or support, and it is not conceivable that they will launch a suicide attack in this situation, so I believe that Thang Long Province is very safe."
"But there are still many places in Beiqi that do not obey our orders," said Li Weili, who had requisitioned this place as his residence, "so I asked the Governor for reinforcements, and I need to completely occupy this place close to China, and I fantasize that China will come to their rescue." ”
"Mr. Colonel, you will succeed, the only obstacle in front of us is the damned Chinese monkeys in Baosheng City," said the counselor through gritted teeth, he was the one who presided over the transport of opium into Yunnan, Liu Yongfu cut off his financial route, of course he hated very much, "as long as they are defeated, then needless to say, the stupid emperor in Hue City will give up all illusions and honestly hand over the whole of Vietnam to our proud France." ”
"Yes, I have very strong confidence in defeating them, but this specific defeat, I am not ready to attack Baosheng City directly." (To be continued.) )
