Why is the former Qin Fujian, that unlucky ghost who is in the wind, the huge empire that unified the north will fall apart in a short period of time after the Battle of Weishui, without him, it is because of the defeat, yes The people who were originally shocked by Fu Jian's force have come out one after another, always ready to pull you off the horse, the Empress Dowager Cixi is naturally not so serious, as far as she is concerned, the honor of the Empress Dowager is naturally there, and the right to govern will not be affected, but is there such a word as it is now, ten thousand people are from the scene, That's debatable.

"How is it now?" Empress Dowager Cixi said proudly, "The French have been defeated, although they are still very hard-mouthed, saying that they will never admit defeat, that is a diplomatic prevarication, nothing is anything, such a big war, finally washed away all the doubts, not only you, but also the sailors, the army built with a lot of money lives up to expectations, from now on, who dares to underestimate China, who dares to underestimate the new army!" “

The new army became famous by this war, and the previous battle of the North Sea, some people may say that it was not a large-scale battle, and it was not a regular Russian army, but in Vietnam, there was no sour words to tell, and the French army was defeated head-on, not only defeated, but also let the new army wrap dumplings, and no one ran away, such a big victory is indeed too in line with the taste of the Empress Dowager Cixi.

"Every victory you have achieved here, it will give Guo Songtao in Guangzhou a better chance to negotiate, very good, very good," the Empress Dowager Cixi praised again and again, "I can say that after the war of Vietnam, it is no longer possible for foreigners to continue to show off their military might in China, continue to use warships and artillery to blackmail us, and seize undeserved benefits." “

The ministers and generals in the tent all listened quietly to the words of the Empress Dowager Cixi, "After the training of Vietnam, next, the new army will not be able to stay in the country all the time, Pu Cun knows that the general trend of the world today, all countries are open to grab places and resources around the world, we naturally cannot lag behind, some people may have questioned whether our Qing Dynasty has the qualifications to end up being called a country fighting for the world, now," the Empress Dowager Cixi spread her hands, "relying on your fighting, relying on your bloody struggle, who dares to say that we don't have this ability?" “

"So this big victory is not only to be rewarded and praised, but also to continue to work hard, the world is so big, waiting for you to continue to expand your territory!"

The Empress Dowager Cixi finally said what was in her heart, the new army is so many and so strong, it is not used for domestic counterinsurgency, but as a sword to dominate the world, Feng Zicai's heart is pounding, his blood is boiling at this time, but he is even more annoyed, why is this next such a big situation, but he can only watch from the wall!

Chu Yunfei, Li Yunlong and other generals of the new army leaned over and said, "The ministers obey the decree of the Empress Dowager, expand the territory, and raise the prestige of our country!" “

Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, "You guys retreat first, the soldiers have been fighting for so long, it's really hard, I took a lot of people south, find a place, set up a stage, don't do anything else at night, prepare to let the big guy have fun, relax and relax." “

The Queen Mother looked at the handsome and tall officers with a smile and bowed back, and then said to Zuo Zongtang, "I have ordered Jinbao to stop the march, Park Cungong, have you sent the order?" “

"Because I want to take over, I can't be empty today," Zuo Zongtang replied, "The document was just an order, I don't know when it will be delivered to the seventh town, and it is estimated that it should be delivered the day after tomorrow." ”

The day after tomorrow? I'm afraid that when I get to Jinbao, I will have to break through more than 100 miles! Rong Lu smiled and said nothing, and the Empress Dowager Cixi only smiled and nodded, "The words of the British, there is no need to listen too much, as long as they don't enter the Saigon Governor's Palace, presumably the French will not have any opinions." ”

"Queen Mother Shengming, the minister has given an order, let the seventh town be cautious and not make any mistakes."

"This time it's all done," the Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, "Saigon Mansion, it's okay not to fight, but no matter how you say it, you have to come out with a coercive posture, not to talk about peace talks, I won't do anything." ”

So he asked about the reserves, Zuo Zongtang said that Gao Xinkui presided over properly, and there was no problem with the logistics at all, "The French commander Mi Le, knew that the Queen Mother was going to be here, and said that he wanted to see the Queen Mother." ”

"The general of the defeated army, what am I going to do to see him," the Empress Dowager Cixi basked slightly, "No, I will see any cat or dog, do I have that spare time?" He wants to see me, but he wants to say something sour, or ask for a little humane help for them, Frenchman, we don't make him hungry, do we? ”

"No, those who can be treated have already been treated, and besides, our food is different from theirs, and if we want anything like bread, there is no more." Zuo Zongtang said with a smile, "You can't get used to them, these days of cleaning up the battlefield, including doing some rough work, the ministers have already let them do it, eat and drink for nothing every day, it's not presentable." ”

"Yes," the Empress Dowager Cixi said approvingly, "I also want to ask them to contribute, and then we will go to Thang Long Mansion, and the official road to Thang Long Mansion has been repaired?" If it is not repaired, let them repair it well, so as not to eat our food and not digest it. Although the French were promised not to abuse prisoners of war, these people, doing manual work, were not abused. ”

"Naturally not," Zuo Zongtang said with a smile, "The French have been suffering in Vietnam for so many years, helping to build roads and bridges, and they are also a way to forgive sins." ”

"How do these people spend their money, they always have to ask the French to come back in the future," the Empress Dowager Cixi said, "These are also hostages, there are so many seven or eight thousand people in their hands, if the new prime minister of France wants to sit in a secure position, then he must be honest and obedient, otherwise the families of these people will make trouble, it is not fun." The Queen Mother said mysteriously, "If you can't talk about it, then you can stay in Vietnam and work for 30 years and then put it back, thinking that the Foshan Guild's coal mine and iron mine in Beiqi are lacking in these laborers who don't need money." ”

The people on the side couldn't help but shudder, thirty years of hard work, I don't know how many people will be able to return to France alive, "By the way, let them go to Thang Long Mansion, well, you don't have to go to all of them, those lieutenant colonels and colonels and officers are escorted to Thang Long Mansion, the new lord of Vietnam ascends the throne, how can there be no foreign friends to watch the ceremony?" These French officers are the best candidates, and the governor of Saigon is really a pity, but it's okay, if the negotiations are good, maybe the governor of Saigon will also come to the court.
