Jinbao's nickname is "The Tiger of the New Army", which is a high evaluation, indicating that his combat style is very domineering and magnificent, he dares to speak like this, the first one is naturally military merits, and the other is related to his identity, "Since you are going, naturally you can't be left behind, naturally go with you, but here Thang Long Mansion can't be delayed, everything must be prepared, city defense or something, all need to be done well, this matter will be handed over to Lord Tang," Jinbao ordered, "It must be done well, although now the French may not be able to continue to make a comeback." , but the necessary precautions are still needed, in addition to the city defense, there are other things, all have to be taken care of, and I will make an account with you," Jin Bao said solemnly, "Ci Sheng Yi is definitely going to come to Vietnam, if the North is stable, and the French in South Qi also admit defeat, maybe they will also come to Thang Long Province."

Tang Jingsong and Liu Yongfu looked at each other, from ancient times to the present, there has never been an emperor and queen driving to the vassal country, at least in the former Ming and this dynasty, there was no such thing, it seems that the Empress Dowager Cixi is very concerned about the affairs of Vietnam, "And the new monarch's enthronement ceremony should also be in Beiqi, then the old capital of the Li Dynasty, Thang Long Mansion is naturally the most suitable place, Lord Tang, you must handle it well." ”

After arranging the follow-up and resting for two hours, Jinbao took the Seventh Town and the Black Flag Army to wait for the ships of the Nanyang Naval Division, sailed out of the Red River, arrived at Haiphong Port to change the large warship, and went to Zhongqi and went straight to Hue City.

The Empress Dowager Cixi is also an anxious child, just stayed overnight in Nanning Mansion, the next day she ordered to set off, along the Zuojiang River, arrived at Ningming Prefecture at night, changed to a carriage on the second day, and went to Pingxiang, because of the needs of the war, Ningming Prefecture to Pingxiang has repaired the official road, and even the official road has been repaired to Langshan, the smooth cement road, although a little rough, but the carriage is no problem, at this time it is bumpy, the Empress Dowager Cixi does not feel tired, in the afternoon, it has arrived in Pingxiang, Pingxiang is not a small county, or because of the war, there is a royal car here, it is really surprising, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou Cen Chunxuan has been waiting here, the Empress Dowager Cixi arrived here, a few words of encouragement, and asked about the front line, "Zeng Guoquan has recovered Taiyuan City?" ”

"Yes, there were not many French troops stationed in Taiyuan City, and the defeat of Langsheng on the front line made the army unstable, so Lord Zeng took the opportunity to lead the Yunnan-Guizhou Sichuan regiment to regain Taiyuan City."

"Very good," the Empress Dowager Cixi said happily, "give a decree to reward first, and the future rewards will come together after the war is over," she smiled at Sun Yuwen on the side, "This southern tour, the good news is one after another, and it has not stopped." The new army recovered the city of Bac Ninh, and finally washed away the shame of the defeat of Bac Ninh. ”

The defeat of Bac Ninh is a sign of the break between the Empress Dowager Cixi and Prince Gong, and it is also a sign that Sun Yuwen and others are on the political stage in this military plane. ”

Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, "I don't believe anything else, it's just that I'm going south this time for Vietnam, so I'll pay attention to it, they will naturally work harder." I'm going south here, I don't care about anything else, just ask you to start and finish, what difficulties just have to be raised, the Minister of Military Aircraft, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and the Imperial Court are all here," the Empress Dowager Cixi said with a smile, "What do you want for money, even if you open your mouth, nothing is as important as the war in Vietnam now, I will give you a word, full support!" ”

In fact, the wars over the years, the Agubo Rebellion, the Battle of Beihai, are far less than the current Sino-French War, Vietnam is closer to the mainland, although Guangxi is barren, but Hunan and Guangdong are rich places, can be supported nearby, according to statistics, in fact, although the money paid by the household has increased a lot, but because of the war, munitions, in addition to the necessary ordnance and gunpowder, such as grain, cement, cloth, these businesses are very inflated in Guangxi, It's also a way to boost the economy. That's another story.

Cen Chunxuan didn't have any requirements, after all, the logistics director was not him, he just made a suggestion, "The minister heard that the Cisheng Imperial Driver was going to Vietnam, and Weichen thought it was inappropriate, the land of Vietnam, the folk customs are different, and the legal person is still in Vietnam, I am afraid that if the French have any disturbance of the Holy Driver, the minister will be unable to escape the blame." ”

Empress Dowager Cixi shook her head, "I went south this time, to Vietnam, not to say that I want to play any prestige, to lose the face of the French, if I want to humiliate the French, I will be directly in Beijing, just look at the face of the French ambassador, this time to the south, one is to see how the construction of various places, this, now not in a hurry, the future return will also be, the second, the most important thing is to take a look, the place where the soldiers fought bloodily, what is it like, a will be successful, this is the natural principle, but I will take a look at Zhennanguan, Take a look at Lang Son, or Haiphong Port, know the hard work of the big guys, this is the most important thing, I think that the new army is now in Beiqi like a bamboo, surrounded by the French, naturally no French will continue to do evil, this don't worry, I came to Vietnam, and I don't really want to go to the battlefield, the most important thing for people is self-knowledge, I don't know how to fight, what to do on the front line? In addition, Qinghai is also in this place, the Li Fan Yuan is going to preside over the enthronement ceremony of the lord of Annan, I can more or less give him a strong momentum, I came out of Beijing, and I made up my mind to go to Vietnam to have a look, the people in Beijing can't persuade me, and you Cen Chunxuan naturally can't persuade me, don't mention this matter, by the way, "The Empress Dowager Cixi said about the lord of Annan, so she thought of Li Daoyuan, "Where is Li Daoyuan?" ”

"Just wait right here."

"Don't invite in yet," the Empress Dowager Cixi said with a smile, "Now he is not a minister, he is the lord of the foreign domain, and he can't be treated the same as the ministers of the imperial court." ”

Li Lianying went out to deliver the decree, and the Empress Dowager Cixi instructed Sun Yuwen, "Where in Guangzhou, how is Guo Songtao talking?" What am I waiting to hear about the attitude of the French? Although he is only a consul, he is also a representative of France, so he can't say anything, and he doesn't dare to open any conditions, right? ”

"The Holy Will of the Empress Dowager," said Wang Kaiyun, who was accompanying him on the side, said with a smile, "Do you want the French to negotiate quickly, or slowly." ”

"Naturally, I want to negotiate slowly, the fighting here in Vietnam is not over yet, and the current negotiations are just fake," the Empress Dowager Cixi said with a smile, "We have the advantage now, so naturally we have to be more advantageous and expand the victory." (To be continued.) )
