51. Fire and Water in the North and South (3)
"This silver won't take long," Prince Gong shook his head, "Guangdong is rich, Guangxi is much poorer, Zeng Laojiu is willing to be the first bird, presumably this Yunnan-Guizhou Sichuan regimental training also has to deal with all of it, otherwise how can he support his magnificence as the head of the frontier?" I'm afraid that not long after I arrived in Vietnam, I will run out of ammunition and food, and I will come back in disgrace. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Prince Gong was obviously a little displeased, but Bao Jun didn't open his eyes, and hurriedly answered, "That governor of Beiqi, Chen Wending, is very tough, and actually refused to perform the trick of the king of Yue asking the soldiers and civilians of Beiqi to withdraw from Beiqi immediately, and not to be enemies of legal persons, and went straight to Beiqi with the Black Flag Army to fight against the French army. ”
Prince Gong closed his eyes speechlessly, closed his mouth, and after a long time, "Zeng Guoquan gathered five thousand people to come out, how many people are there in Yunnan?" What about Sichuan? ”
"There are about 2,500 people in Yunnan and 2,000 in Sichuan, which is more than 10,000 people in total, which is much more than the number of soldiers in Beiqi in the French." He said excitedly, "In this way, Vietnam can be preserved." ”
"Even if the Vietnamese national body is preserved now, what is the use!" In the Xiangfu Teahouse, a sturdy man disdainfully put down the newspaper, and said to the man wearing the same gray uniform as himself on the side, this gray uniform is very different from the robe and horse coat of the Chinese people, the Chinese people have always paid attention to wide robes and large sleeves, and the demeanor is elegant, but this gray uniform is very close-fitting, the waist is close-fitting, there is a belt to tie the waist, and the man's bee waist ape arms are more and more highlighted, there are a few stars hanging on his chest, and there is a seahorse-shaped medal, the material is thick and light, it can be seen that it is made of excellent cotton fabric, There is a hat on the table of the Eight Immortals, which is different from the Liuhe hat that Sijiucheng likes to wear, this hat is made of a cylindrical body, and there is a tongue-shaped brim in front of it, which is also the same gray as the uniform, "That waste-like Vietnamese king," the sturdy man looked worried, "They have already become soft bones, and they have signed a traitorous treaty with the French in Hue, which makes Liu Zongbing and them chill." He also repeatedly issued gold medals to all the officials in Beiqi to retreat and cede the land to legal persons, this minister is not a traitor, but a traitor! ”
Four or five uniformed groups formed a table, with a fierce look, obviously from the military, a few of them gathered at this table, other tea customers didn't dare to rap and talk, just a few people talked, but the people on the side heard them speak, and they couldn't help but prick up their ears to listen, an old man laughed, "Xiao Liu, it's rare for us to rest out of the camp, don't try to relax and relax, what kind of bird tea accompany you to drink here, you are good, and take these things out to pollute our ears!" What does this have to do with us? Although he told Xiao Liu not to talk about these troubles, there was still a resentment in his words, "When the time comes, there will be merit, that is, the group training in those places." Hehe, Zeng Jiushuai is going to be in the limelight next! ”
"I don't know if those regimental exercises in the local area are useful," one person said gloatingly with melon seeds, "Those people haven't had much training, let alone touched the door of the martial arts hall!" ”
"What you said is biased," a person jumped up, frowned and argued, "Many people in the Twelve Towns are now selected by regimental training, and I am also from Yungui, not to mention anything else, this is fighting in the jungle, I am afraid that it is the elite soldiers in the north, and it is not as neat as the regimental training in Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi in the south, Sun Tzu's Art of War said that generals should adapt measures to local conditions, this is the truth, you look at Liu Yongfu's general soldiers, "He is a southerner and also speaks to southerners," the Black Flag Army is considered to be a soldier who is not as brave as regimental training, how about it? I'm afraid that such a big victory as the paper bridge victory will not be able to be won by ordinary people. ”
The person who looked down on the group training didn't think so, but it was not good to argue with the robes with a red face, he just shook his head, and shook his head again, "Brothers, you digress, I'm talking about Vietnam, how do you get the difference between the twelve towns and the group training?" Now is the time to pay attention to Vietnam. ”
"What can it be? I can't fight again," said one person impatiently, "and you are not tired of talking about Vietnam like this every day?" As soon as I walked into this teahouse, my ears were buzzing, Vietnam, Hue, what the Black Flag Army, all the mess is all these things, this newspaper is really harmful, so everyone knows about Vietnam, my cousin who studied French in the Tongwen Pavilion came to me crying, saying that they are boycotting the French now, and they can't learn French, and they can't find an errand in the future, but they are afraid that they will starve to death, I am really annoyed! ”
"What, Qiu Shi," the little Liu shouted affectionately, "you don't think you can fight?" ”
"Everyone says that they want to fight, but I don't think it can be fought, and the German teacher said something when he was in a strategy class, I don't know if you still remember it, when the military strength of the two sides reaches a balanced level, war will not happen."
"So the regimental training went to Vietnam, so that the military strength of China and France is equal?"
"It's not reciprocal, it's balanced, we have a lot of people and no money, the French have few and strong armaments, speaking of which, they came to Saigon, and the distance is not as far as that of Liangguang in the past, so the comparison is like a confrontation." Xiao Liu nodded, "Qiu Shi, you're right, in this way," his tone revealed a very regretful voice, "I'm afraid that there is no chance to see the French defeated, although it is not our turn, it is a good thing to watch the French get beaten." My brothers have taken advantage of it, and I have just entered the martial arts hall, and I haven't caught a war yet. ”
"It's not that it's not our turn, but we don't need to go," a uniformed man with a Shaanxi accent raised his head and said proudly, "The Twelve Towns are the elite of the elite, and the four thousand French troops in Beiqi alone can't take our turn to fight at all, as long as they are handed over to the local regimental training." ”
"That's the reason, we either deal with the Cossack cavalry, or go to the north to fight against Russia, this small place in Vietnam, we don't need to interfere, we can study and train with peace of mind," Xiao Liu nodded and said, "Don't worry about other things." (To be continued.) )
