"Fight to the death?" Empress Dowager Cixi slowly stood up, "Although Lemei is a small city, it is also a barrier near the left side of Thang Long Mansion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info what do you think of this Black Flag Army. ”

Princess Rongshou also stood up, looked at the Empress Dowager Cixi, the Empress Dowager Cixi thought slightly, and then gave an order, "Call Wang Kaiyun." ”

Li Lianying bowed and turned to go out, Princess Rongshou was blessed, "Erchen will retire first." ”

Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, Rong Shou knew the severity, and this kind of thing could not be mixed easily, and when Rong Shou went out, Li Lianying turned around and came back, and the Empress Dowager Cixi said to Li Lianying, "Did Tang Jingsong come to report?" ”

"Here it is, there can't be a long speech in the telegram, only four words."

"What four words?"

"I want to take it!"

The weather in May, not only is it hot in Beijing, but also the water in the south is boiling and the wood is burning, and the eyes are full of fire, next to the Red River, the smoke of gunpowder is filled, and there are occasional painful moans of the villagers. The tragic sound slowly faded, and countless people gradually stopped moaning, silently dying in this troubled world, some people will take advantage of this to ride the wind, so as to become famous in the world, and some people will be short-lived, and they will disappear into everyone.

The area around Thang Long Province is the best plain, the land is fertile, three crops a year, the plain area means that there is no danger to defend, and the small soil bag can never be regarded as a military defense fortress, so it is said that the two armies meet the brave to win, and they can only meet hard, and use troops and force to decide the victory or defeat, to decide each other's life and death. Even if there were some rivers that divided the plain into bits and pieces, Willy would never admit that this terrain was a disadvantage for the French army to advance against the Black Flag Army.

The Red River was very turbulent in the rainy season, the river water filled the embankment, flooded some low-lying land into swamps, the French camped on high places and settled down, the white cooking smoke slowly rose, and the rising black smoke not far away, the heralds stepped on the wet muddy ground into General Willy's camp, it was raining heavily this morning, and the original plan to march to attack the Black Flag Army was forced to be canceled. The herald walked into the camp and said to Li Weili, "Your Excellency, the soldiers have already made lunch soon. ”

"Then we'll leave in half an hour," Willy looked at the pocket watch in his hand, and the right time, "We need to arrive at the designated place by tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, General!"

Wei Weis, the deputy commander of the expeditionary force, put down the parchment in his hand and shook his head, "Your Excellency Colonel, I would like to remind you that this season we sent troops to confront the Black Flag Army, which I personally think is an unwise move. ”

There was a muffled thunder not far away, and obviously, not knowing that it was still raining in that corner, Li Willy put away his pocket watch, "I think you must be worried about the weather." ”

"Yes, Colonel, such weather is very unfavorable for confrontation, and I do not mean that we are afraid of the Black Flag Army, and proud France is not afraid of any soldier of any backward barbarian country, but we must guarantee victory - I think we will surely win the final victory! But we need to make sure that these loyal and reliable soldiers have minimal losses in non-combat attrition. ”

"Yes, I admit that you are right, but we have to face one thing," Li Weili nodded, "We have gone through many battles with the Black Flag Army, the most recent attack and defense battle of Le Mae City, the Black Flag Army lost to us again, according to my analysis, they are seeking a decisive battle this time, and they just want to gamble, gamblers' psychology, as long as we take advantage of the fact that we have been victorious and the morale of the soldiers is very high, it is very powerful to solve these difficult Black Flag Army at one time, which is very powerful for the situation in the whole of Vietnam." ”

"So if the Black Flag Army doesn't take the initiative to issue a war letter, I will keep biting them, and I can't give them a chance to regain strength, time is on our side. We can't afford to wait, we have to get rid of the Black Flag Army quickly. ”

"Colonel, do you mean to cooperate with domestic political means?"

"Yes, all military operations are a continuation of politics, we must quickly eliminate all the formed armed military forces on the ground in Beiqi, these Vietnamese monkeys are useless, we don't need to worry about what they will have, we can crush them like a bed bug, we just need to deal with the Black Flag Army, then our interests in the Far East and the Suez Canal can be maximized!"

"Your Excellency Colonel, what do you think we will gain in Vietnam, especially if the shares of the Suez Canal will definitely belong to us in France."

Li Weili packed his package and heard Deputy Commander Wei Weis ask, "I personally think that it is impossible for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to give up Vietnam for the Suez Canal, Vietnam is our base in Asia, and it is impossible to be willing to exchange shares, of course, the shares of the canal are also very important," he walked out of the camp with Wei Weis and got on the war horse, "Our operation in Beiqi is by no means to intimidate, we really need this place!" ”

"So how are we going to reconcile with the Chinese?" "You know, the precondition for the Chinese to sell their shares in the Suez Canal is to ensure the existence of Vietnam." ”

"My dear colleagues, dear Weves, of course, of course, the Chinese are asking for this, but the requirements are also changing all the time, since the Chinese Black Flag Army cannot keep Beiqi occupied by our French, then China will definitely regress, then, in the future," Li Willy said sleekly, he rode on horseback, "as long as the king of Vietnam is still on the throne, the state of Vietnam will exist, if the Chinese need a calm border, We can leave the land on the north bank of the Red River to the Vietnamese to govern by themselves, so that the Vietnamese state still exists, so Chinese dare not help the Vietnamese, and the Black Flag Army is useless...... Dear Wevis, what qualifications do you think the Chinese have to offer to withdraw the French from Beiqi? I understand the Chinese very well, let's make a bet, how about it? ”

Wei Weiss shook his head in admiration, "I can't accept your blackmail, sir, after hearing your words, I think you can at least be the Minister of Defense, not just such a colonel, how can I possibly make a bet with a person who is sure to win?" It's obviously my own hard work, and I don't want to give you my salary yet, sir, but I want to know what you're going to bet on. ”

Li Willy laughed, heard Wei Weis's words, quite complacent, "The character of the Chinese as long as he leaves a way to retreat, then he will not fight to the death with us," he shouted to the herald, "Is the Chinese who came to write the war still there?" You still tell him that if he loses this decisive battle, then he just needs to retreat to the city of Baosheng of their Black Flag Army and stop interfering in the affairs of Vietnam, and the French army will never pursue him. ”

The herald went down to convey Willy Lee's order, and Weivis was a little puzzled, "Is this what you want to bet on?" ”

"Yes."
