Zuo Zongtang stood up, "I will set off immediately, go to Pingxiang, and then go directly to Vietnam, everyone, it is now the eve of the war, and the victory or defeat of this war is not only to determine our official hat, but also a key battle related to the elimination of China and France!" If we win, we can determine that we can fight for at least ten years of peace, and the foreigners will no longer dare to do evil in the Central Plains, the hinterland of the Qing Dynasty, and the French will forever withdraw from the era of showing off their might in China! ”

When the carriage of the Empress Dowager Cixi arrived in Nanning, it happened to be full of sunset, birds flew into the forest, and the remnant sun was like blood, which seemed to indicate something, she had just gotten off the carriage, and not far away there was a telegraph officer who came in a hurry, he passed through the officials at all levels who greeted him here, knelt down on one knee, and dedicated the telegram fold to the Empress Dowager Cixi, and the Empress Dowager's hand was on Li Lianying's arm, and she stretched out her hand with purple gems of red gold passion flower pattern armor, and took the fold, with only a few short words on it, "Today afternoon, the general attack will begin." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, stretched out her hand, and stopped the sound of the drums, "Very good," she slowly walked forward, "The soldiers on the front line have begun to fight!" Passing the decree, Nanning is a place where logistics gathering, the status is important, it is not appropriate to lose, all the ministers immediately retreat, each performing its own duties," she passed through the officials who bowed their heads to greet the holy driver, "No need to come to ask for peace again, tomorrow morning, I will also set off for Pingxiang immediately!" ”

"Huh!"

"This time there should have been a war," Empress Dowager Cixi looked at the mountains to the south, and could vaguely see the clouds over there, which seemed to have been broken through by a few birds, "I don't know what will be the result after spending so much thought and making so many preparations?" ”

In the Sino-French naval battle in history, the Nanyang Naval Division was shot down as a target in Mawei Harbor, and the whole army was annihilated, and in this era, although the Nanyang Naval Division suffered heavy losses, it still relied on timely intelligence, excellent officers and soldiers, and the spirit of not fearing death, which was exchanged for a tragic victory!

Although it was a disastrous victory, it was also a great victory, the North Vietnamese fleet was completely annihilated, so that the French were like tigers with their teeth pulled out, and they could no longer be proud, the original plan of joint operations between the navy and the army was completely disrupted, and the North Vietnamese coalition army, which was alone in depth, could no longer make effective contact with the rear, so that there were problems with the logistics supply line, and the reinforcements could not open up a passage under the cover of the navy, so as to provide the possibility for the realization of the plan made before.

The Empress Dowager Cixi is the most fond of visiting the garden, today is stationed in a southwest-style rich family garden, the beauty is slightly alien, but she has no intention of visiting today, she sat down in the garden, frequently waving a fan, the weather in April of the lunar calendar, Nanning Mansion is already a little hot, the ice has been prepared, but the Empress Dowager Cixi is obvious, the heart is hotter than the body.

The Empress Dowager Cixi sat cross-legged on the Arhat bed, put her hands on her knees, sat upright and closed her eyes to recuperate, the little palace maid came in with the white fungus soup, only to see the dense beads of sweat on the forehead of the Empress Dowager Cixi, she looked at the red maple with her eyes, the red maple's eyes glanced slightly to the side, the palace maid understood, put the white fungus soup lightly on the side, and quietly retreated, Li Lianying walked in with a few books, and also put it on the side of the white fungus soup, said to the Empress Dowager Cixi, who closed her eyes and recuperated, "Lafayette, the lord of Annan has arrived in Guangzhou, and he will rush to Nanning immediately. ”

"Let him go directly to Pingxiang and wait, he is the lord of Vietnam, and it is not appropriate not to go to his own country." The Empress Dowager Cixi was still closing her eyes and recuperating, but her constantly shaking eyelids betrayed her, obviously not as calm as she looked on the outside, and sure enough, she asked, "Langsheng front, is there any news there?" ”

"Not yet, the telegram has not yet been sent, I don't know what the situation is, the manpower of the funeral office has been arranged, and it must be reported as soon as possible."

"Xuanli Office, hey, it's a pity for Li Yansheng," the Empress Dowager Cixi opened her eyes, her eyes were sad and angry, "Hanged in the palace of the Vietnamese, fighting against me and the enemy, it was originally going to die, I have no objection to killing people, but it is really hateful to openly torture and kill my Chinese people, the French, we must let them die." ”

"Please rest assured, those French troops in Hue City, especially the French commander, will definitely let him die well," Li Lianying said in a low voice, "The slave promises." ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi nodded and stood up, Li Lianying hurriedly stretched out her hand to support her, she wiped the fine sweat on her forehead with a handkerchief, "Every time there is a big event, I always persuade the emperor like this, but I didn't expect that when the matter came, I couldn't calm down." She walked to the window, the twilight was heavy, the lanterns had been lit everywhere, the sky was still a little bright, but soon it was pitch black, "I really want to fly to the front at once, and see how the warriors of our new army fight against the French." ”

A faint sound of footsteps sounded outside the door, "West Holy Master, urgent report from the north." ”

"Northside?" The Empress Dowager Cixi turned around and took the report, "Yuan Pingding, the assistant leader of the Third Army of Zhili, rebelled against the Korean Kaihua Party, rescued the king and Concubine Min, Concubine Min? Co-leader? Yuan? The Empress Dowager Cixi suddenly thought of something, looked down carefully, and sure enough, "Yuan Shikai? ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi smiled slightly, no matter how history changes, the person who should come out will always come out, outstanding people are like pearls in the sand, no matter what, they will not become sand and everyone will not be able to see it, "The military department discusses merits, and the reward is," the Empress Dowager Cixi continued to read, "Japan intends to sign a treaty with Korea to determine consular jurisdiction and trade preferences?" Hehe, tell Prince Li, this is not allowed, what do the Japanese want to do here? Get past me first! The Empress Dowager Cixi was compassionate, "The people of North Korea are not very sensible, I have helped to do so many things, they are still not satisfied, counting on the Japanese to come in, you must know that it is simple to open the door to welcome the thieves, and it will not be so easy to drive the robbers out when the time comes." The Li Dynasty has been in the past for so many years, and it has not grown at all, and one generation is not as good as the generation, and it is not as good as when Emperor Wanli was in it. ”

"Huh."

"The Japanese have a good calculation, thinking that when we deal with the French now, we will take advantage of the fire to rob and come to us to rub oil, don't even think about it, how can we deal with the French, and spare a little effort to deal with the Japanese, this is more than enough, enough."
