So I didn't talk about it, but the Empress Dowager Cixi talked about other things about North Korea, "Vietnam and North Korea, I don't think it's quite right now, those in Vietnam who call themselves emperors behind closed doors, they call themselves emperors, it doesn't hurt to be called by a nickname or something, there is a chance to deal with it, North Korea, I took a look, the temple is called the ancestor can not be enumerated, what are they going to do?" There is no more dignity and inferiority, and these nicknames and temple numbers are all auspicious words, these kings of small countries, vassals of the Celestial Empire, I don't discriminate against them, do they deserve these words? The Li Fan Yuan continued, and when the affairs of North Korea calmed down, they must be severely reprimanded for the smuggling of the name and temple number in the country, my Celestial Empire has always governed all countries with courtesy, and there are no rules and no square circle, all of them call themselves certain ancestors, is it possible that the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty are not as good as these people? ”

Ancestors, ancestors, these two words must not be used indiscriminately, but in the five hundred years of the Li family's Joseon, in addition to the founding of the country, there are eight people who call the ancestors, this matter is small, it is they arrogant and arrogant, and they enjoy themselves behind closed doors, but to say that in the big way, it is not respecting education and disrespecting the country, and the Empress Dowager Cixi said that at least she asked the Li Fan Yuan to send one of the three envoys that made the vassal state tremble the most - the one that made the vassal state tremble. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Although the Empress Dowager Cixi didn't care much about the direction of this matter, she still cared about the direction of the whole of Korea, Qinghai said that it should be done, "This matter will be done slowly in the future, but this," the Empress Dowager Cixi picked up another fold, the matter here, obviously the Empress Dowager Cixi attaches great importance to it, she frowned slightly, "The French fleet is going north, what do you want to do?" ”

Do you want to start a war with the North and South Ocean Naval Divisions? This thought crossed everyone's hearts, but Rong Lu denied it, "Under the defeat of the French, they will never dare to launch an attack on the sea again, besiege the North Vietnamese fleet in the North and South Oceans, and the NATO fleet will be completely annihilated, and no one will escape, the French will not know the casualties of our naval division for the time being, so they will not rush to approach." ”

"What Lord Rong said is very true," Guo Songtao nodded, obviously agreeing with Rong Lu's idea, but he analyzed it from a diplomatic point of view, "The new French Prime Minister Ben Hamin is from a small political party called What Flowers and Swords, at this stage, Wei Chen thinks that their top priority is to negotiate peace immediately and minimize the losses, but obviously, Ben Hamming's military background, and the current actions of the French army, fully show that they will not negotiate peace at this stage, so go on, It's definitely going to be somewhere else to save face. ”

"Then there is probably only Lang Sheng's front line," the Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, "Ben Shaming clearly understands the strength of the French army, although I don't know this person, but I can guess that he means, at least he will negotiate with us after a victory that can be called a big victory, so that at least he can earn a little face in the international community," the Empress Dowager Cixi stood up and picked the candle flame with silver scissors, the candle flame shook slightly, and the room became a little brighter, "It's a pity that I don't know what it means to accept it when I see it." The Empress Dowager Cixi turned her head and instructed Rong Lu, "How is the Nanyang Sailor there?" ”

"The channel of the Red River has been cleared, Thang Long has become an isolated city, and the French army in Beiqi, except for the two cities of Langsheng and Bac Ninh, there is no longer a formed French army." Rong Lu bowed slightly and said.

"Very good, Langsheng's 20,000 French troops have become turtles in the urn?" The Empress Dowager Cixi nodded with satisfaction, but this was far from enough, "Send a telegram to Zuo Zongtang, let him be faster, if he can't eat dumplings with stuffing, I'm afraid that the vicious dog will pounce." ”

Several military ministers looked at each other, what did the Empress Dowager Cixi mean, did she want to besiege the French army again? But a few people just felt that it was inappropriate, if you want to advise the French army, the difficulty on land is far greater than that of naval battles, and now the two sides are facing each other, and if you are not careful, everyone may suffer the bitter fruit of defeat. Dong Yuanol was about to go out to express his opinion, but he didn't expect another report to come from outside, which was sent from Guangzhou to Changsha, "The cruiser Huimin in Qinzhou Port set off for Thang Long Mansion. ”

"Very good," the Empress Dowager Cixi said approvingly, "I just mentioned a sentence to ask Zuo Zongtang to speed up, and he gave me this good news, there is a treasure of the new army on this warship," the Empress Dowager Cixi was obviously very happy, and said with a smile, "When the time comes, can you make the French cry in pain, it depends here, and Lang Sheng's work together." ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi was vague, a few people didn't ask much, and arranged the next things, and it was almost time for a watch, Qinghai led to the place to observe the people's feelings, and arranged the errand of the Queen Mother's next trip, Yan Jingming has no doubt, to be in charge of logistics, Sun Yuwen told some political reports sent by Beijing, the Empress Dowager Cixi was in good spirits, and she couldn't sleep anymore, she ordered them one by one, and then ordered the people below to bring supper, Let the big guy eat and discuss again, at this time there is another report, it is the Vietnamese newspaper, through Guangdong and then to Changsha, "The French fleet will sail to Da Nang, and the French will march to Hue City!" ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi took the bowl of osmanthus sweet wine and put it aside, "Go to Hue City?" "The people in the room stopped moving, turned their faces to look at each other, everyone's faces had a suspicious look, at this time, according to common sense, the French army did not hurry to the front line to support Lang Sheng, and strengthen their strength on this side in order to counter the Chinese, what did Baba run to Hue City to do? There were no Chinese troops there, and there were no armament facilities to provide military assistance to the French.

The Empress Dowager Cixi slowly stood up, with a fluctuating expression on her face, "What are the French going to Hue City for?" There are only Vietnamese kings there, and nothing will help them...... Wrong! The Empress Dowager Cixi suddenly came back to her senses, Guo Songtao also stood up, his face was also shocked and angry, obviously the same as the Empress Dowager Cixi, knowing why the French were going to Hue City, Qinghai was still a little dazed and confused.

At this time, the spring thunder outside suddenly stabbed, kicking off the rainy prelude in March, "One south and one north, about Japan and France are all holding the same meaning, immediately send an order to the Nanyang Division of the Minority," Empress Dowager Cixi's pupils widened suddenly, "Investigate clearly," she had a bad premonition, "What do the French want to do in Hue City!"
