In further questioning with Li Yinshu, Li Hongzhang and others finally confirmed their location.

This place is not much different from Tianzhu, only 20,000 miles...... What a fart!

Li Hongzhang couldn't tell whether Zheng Baoguo, a retired major general, was really a dish, or whether he was fooling himself by order.

He felt more likely to be the latter.

Because he had heard it said before that there was a mysterious department in Daming called the Strategic Fool Bureau, referred to as the War Fool Bureau.

The Dr. Xing who slipped out from under his nose back then was probably the one who had lost the game.

And this Zheng Baoguo in front of him, to be honest, Li Hongzhang feels that he and Xing Jiuliu have a bit of the same temperament.

Since he was ordered to fool, it is likely that he would not let himself go to India.

Li Hongzhang thought about it for three days and three nights, and finally figured out Zhu Fugui's imperial mental technique.

This Zhu Tianzi, looking open-minded and pure, and his majesty is lenient, in fact, how can the founding kings of the past dynasties not have a black belly?

Li Hongzhang believes that Tianzhu is a country of Buddhism, fertile for thousands of miles, nourishing hundreds of millions of people, and adjacent to China, such a place Zhu Tianzi must have been salivating for a long time.

The so-called "King of Delhi" is just a big cake painted by Zhu Tianzi for Li Mou, which is just a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water.

Zhu Tianzi's real meaning is to let himself go to the Atlantic Ocean and fight with foreigners.

This is absolutely impossible.

To be honest, now that Li Hongzhang sees foreigners, he is not as scared as he was earlier.

Otherwise, he would not have said a word, and threw all the foreigners on St. Helena into the sea to feed the sharks.

But the problem is that on this tiny island of St. Helena, there are only a few hundred foreigners......

Wait a minute!

Li Hongzhang suddenly thought of a question.

At that time, the puppet Qing Holy Ancestor Aixin Jueluo Xuanye faced only more than 800 Rakshasas in Yaxa, and only three foreigners annihilated by the Xianfeng Dynasty monk Greenqin at Bali Bridge......

In other words, the old man's work today has already punched Kangxi and stepped on Xianfeng?

You know, these hundreds of foreigners, regardless of whether there are old and young women and children, but at least they are all real captives!

Whether it was the Bali Bridge before, or the joint invasion of Beijing by the Tang and Song dynasties, they were all faced with fake captives filled with Indians.

In this way, my Southern Tang army is actually not as good as I imagined?

It's just that the combat power was first dragged down by the waste of the pseudo-Qing, and then covered by the light of the thighs of the god Daming?

Also, what Zuo Jigao can do, why can't I, Li?

I can't compare to Zhu Fugui, can't I compare to you Zuo Zongtang?

Thinking of this, Li Hongzhang's mind also became active.

Since the Son of Heaven doesn't let the old man go to India, it's always okay for the old man to find another way, right?

First of all, it is certainly impossible to go north and knock on Europa, and become an archduke of the Pyrenees.

It's no different from sending people to death.

Secondly, Yin Zhou can't go either.

North Yinzhou is the land directly under the jurisdiction of Daming's father.

The only thing that could be touched was the territory of the American Gemini.

American American Marquis and American Electric Marquis, to be honest, Li Hongzhang saw their troops attacking the church in Tianjin, and he was still a little worried in his heart.

And Nan Yinzhou is not afraid.

One of those Taiping troops who pulled China was counted as one, and they were all old acquaintances of Li Hongzhang.

Knowing one's own situation and that of the enemy.

Even if you can't say that you will win, it should not be a problem to gain a firm foothold.

What can I do, Li Hongzhang knows that Zeng Guofan is no longer the Zeng Guofan of the past, and Hong Xiuquan is not the Hong Xiuquan of the year.

Now it is really useful for him to shout, "Heavenly Father has appeared, Abba, save me."

Therefore, Li Hongzhang found that the only thing he could go to was Africa.

One of the North Africa is not able to go.

North Africa is too close to Europa.

And it is also a territory that the Ottoman Empire, an ally of Daming's father, has named to regain control, and he must not touch it.

The only ones left are Central Africa and South Africa.

But Central Africa is said to be a land of poisonous miasma, which is even more fierce than Borneo.

Moreover, the tributary state of the Ming Dynasty, the Taiping Ni Kingdom, is also there, which is somewhat of a constraint.

After thinking about it, Li Hongzhang found that his ideal place to conquer was South Africa.

St. Helena is not far from South Africa, and some of the Chinese workers on the island have been to South Africa as artisans.

According to their report, South Africa has a pleasant climate, neither wet nor dry, and there are thousands of miles of unclaimed land, among which gold and jade ore are scattered, which can be described as a treasure land of feng shui.

Wouldn't it be a pity that such a good place would not be included in my China?

Crucially, according to these diaspora reports, there does not seem to be a strong garrison at the British colony in South Africa.

Today, South Africa is in a delicate balance.

The Boer Transvaal Republic and the Orange Free State, the black kingdoms of Zulu, Basutoland, Westland, and the British Empire colonies on the southern coast were largely in skirmishes, but not in major wars.

(See this paragraph for the map)

Historically, the British invasion of the Zulu would take years to come, and the conquest of the Boers would be twenty years later.

Today's South Africa is more of a forgotten land to the British, with few garrisons and a militia formed by the local British colonizers to maintain its rule.

Hearing that the garrison of the South African foreigners was weak, at least weaker than that of India, and that there was still infighting, Li Hongzhang was overjoyed.

He ordered Guo Songlin, who was the most astute and well-versed in foreign languages, to lead his men to disguise themselves and go to South Africa to conduct field reconnaissance in the name of a tea merchant on a wooden sailing ship on the island of St. Helena.

In the end, Guo Songlin reported: "Although the Cape Town of Yingyi is called a military port, it is actually deserted, and Wen Tian is martial arts, and he takes pleasure in extorting past business travelers, and he is not afraid!" ”

A week later, Li Hongzhang changed the Catholic name of St. Helena to Luoji Island, to commemorate the story of the fall of the Great Chief of Faji.

At the same time, he ordered the army of the Southern Tang Dynasty and marched towards South Africa.

Standing on the deck of the "Duke Li", Li Hongzhang held Zheng Baoguo's hand and was full of spirit:

"Brother Baoguo, the foolish brother knows today that the south of the Southern Tang Dynasty is also in the south of the earth.

If it is not the pride of the foolish brother, the hundred battles of the lion of the long live lord is the strongest army in the world, then the Southern Tang Dynasty of the foolish brother is the first strong army in the southern hemisphere, and in this battle, the foolish brother will seek a good future for the squire fathers and elders! ”

Indeed, who can kill me in the southern hemisphere?

Li Hongzhang had an illusion of invincibility in the world.

It's just that at this time, Li Hongzhang didn't know how the Zulu Kingdom, which didn't even have muskets and couldn't even weave clothes, created the myth of cold weapons versus hot weapons in the Anglo-Zurian War and became the peak of black combat effectiveness.

He didn't know that because Daming made a large number of fake pounds, an important meeting was being held in the Houses of Parliament in London......
