……

"Governor Hai, do you remember Ban?"

Ban Dingyuan landed on the shore and came to Hong Kong to make an appointment alone, which was really high-spirited.

Facing the dense Jin officers and soldiers in the port, Ban Dingyuan was calm and relaxed, and his sharp eyes looked directly at the object he wanted to see today-Beilahai.

Bella Hai looked at the young man in front of him, feeling a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

After all, how can this kind of wine bag and rice bag remember this "unknown" teenager?

But he has been in the officialdom for many years, even if he doesn't know this person, he still arches his hand and says: "Your Excellency is a Dongyi lobbyist?"

Dare to ask why your country attacked our port in Macao for no reason, is it because it wants to start a war? ”

Ban Dingyuan chuckled lightly, and said with disdain: "What Governor Hai said is just nonsense, my Great Han Heavenly Master is attacking your Jinguo border port right now, so why do you need to pretend to be a gesture?" ”

Bella Hai was taken aback, but he didn't expect that the other side didn't quibble about his actions at all, which was beyond his expectations.

At this moment, another sentence came from Ban Dingyuan: "Also, this dynasty is an orthodox dynasty, and you and other countries have today's civilization, all of which are caused by Xi China's Chinese culture.

Now that I have only learned a little bit of fur dross, dare I only call me the Central Plains? The real one, you are! ”

As soon as these words came out, Yilimu and Qijing immediately pulled out their swords and unsheathed: "Vertical Zi'an dares to insult my country's prestige!" ”

Ban Dingyuan was not afraid, and snorted coldly: "If you dare to hurt my fur today, my expeditionary division will definitely be able to trample the barbarian states into powder!" ”

This kind of courage shocked Bei Lahai and the others and all the officers and soldiers present.

What kind of confidence does this guy have to dare to be presumptuous at the knife edge?

Thinking of this, Bei Lahai raised his hand to stop Yilimu and Qi Jing, and said to Ban Dingyuan: "Why did you come to me?" ”

Ban Dingyuan: "Naturally, I came here for the future of your country, does Governor Hai want to talk to you in detail here at the next station?" ”

Bella Haidao: "Okay, set up the Governor's Palace." ”

Coming to the Governor's Palace, Bei Lahai asked Ban Dingyuan to sit down, and then asked, "How do you want to talk?" ”

Ban Dingyuan directly threw out a document given by Yue Shaomu: "If you want your country to act in accordance with the above regulations, our army will naturally retreat as promised." ”

Bella Hai picked up the document and glanced at it, and the scalp of the people who read it was densely packed with clauses.

But after he read it cursoryly, he immediately took the case: "Presumptuous! Do you think my Dajin will agree to such humiliating clauses? ”

In fact, most of these terms are reasonable, and there is nothing wrong with them, such as the establishment of a consulate in the capital of the Jin Dynasty in the Han Dynasty, the development of commercial cooperation, the establishment of banks, the establishment of factories, the establishment of standard tariffs, etc.

There are also those who want to say that the Jin State must apologize for the unreasonable act of expelling the foreign envoys of the Han Dynasty before, compensate 55 million taels of silver for the ocean-going military expenses, and cede the Purple Island and Melbourne areas.

But as far as the profits from the Han army's previous foreign wars are concerned, it is actually not much.

But no matter whether these are out of the cabinet or normal requirements, Beilahai will never be able to agree, this is against the Great Golden Ancestral System! He didn't have the courage to come down.

Ban Dingyuan also expected this reaction from the other party, and said calmly: "I understand that with the weight of you, a local official, naturally you have no authority to sign these terms.

Therefore, I suggest that Governor Pei get out of the way, and let me wait to enter Beijing to discuss with the monarch of your country in detail! ”

In the past nearly a year, Ban Dingyuan has been thinking about revenge all the time, he has been in Nanyang for so long, and he is risking a possible sentence, just to pick up the lost face.

This is not his face alone, but the face of the whole country, in a foreign land, he was actually humiliated and driven away by a chieftain slave in front of so many vassal countries, he Ban Dingyuan can bear it, but how can the face of the Han Dynasty be lost in his own hands?

So he wanted to go to the capital and force him to sign this agreement in front of Honglin!

"Absolutely impossible!" Bei Lahai rejected Ban Dingyuan's proposal without thinking about it, "Long live is the body of a daughter, how can you see the state of Dongyi?" I advise you to write an apology and leave as soon as possible, otherwise when my golden million-strong division arrives, you will definitely be trampled into pulp! ”

Ban Dingyuan's eyes were cold: "So, did Governor Bei refuse to open the way for my army?" ”

Bei Lahai was furious: "Such an unreasonable request, this official will definitely not agree!" ”

"That's good!"

Ban Dingyuan stood up and glanced at Beilahai.

"I hope Governor Pei can get through, since you can't talk calmly, let's see you on the battlefield."

After saying that, he left the governor's palace without looking back.

Irimu on the side hurriedly said: "Lord Governor, do you want your subordinates to order ......someone to talk about him?"

"The two countries are at war, don't kill the envoys, quickly mobilize troops and horses, and prepare to resist the enemy!"

"Yes!"

Irimu followed the order, leaving Bela Hai to sit at the negotiating table in a daze......

In the evening, Ban Dingyuan returned to the flagship and told Yue Shaomu and Gan Ziba about the negotiations.

Bellahai's refusal to propose was expected by everyone, and the purpose of doing so was nothing more than to buy time to cut off the three iron locks at sea.

After Ban Dingyuan finished speaking, Yue Shaomu proposed to Gan Ziba: "If you think that the enemy will not sit still, he will definitely gather troops from the surrounding cities and villages to come to Jingao and Hong Kong to garrison.

Tomorrow's landing operation will inevitably encounter stubborn resistance from the enemy, so we will have to change our strategy sooner. ”

Gan Ziba thought so: "Then according to General Yue's intentions, what should I do?" ”

Yue Shaomu said: "Naturally, it is a way to divide the troops, so that the officers and soldiers of South Australia cannot take care of each other and relieve the pressure of the army." ”

Gan Ziba immediately said to Zheng Sanbao: "Hurry up and get Nanao and the map!" ”

"Whoa!"

Soon, Zheng Sanbao took a map of South Australia.

This map was purchased by Ban Dingyuan from a Nanyang merchant who had been a merchant in South Australia for a long time, and after being drawn and refined by the General Staff Division, the general route and mountains and rivers in South Australia were shown on the map, although there may be differences, but the comprehensive sense of direction is still there.

Yue Shaomu first pointed to Jingao Port: "After the iron lock is broken tomorrow, Zhu Heng under the command of the last general will take the lead in seizing the harbor defense area, because most of his attacks are cold weapons.

Therefore, Ganti Tu's artillery support is needed to ensure that they can successfully seize the opportunity. ”

Gan Ziba nodded: "This is natural, isn't it what was planned before?" ”

Yue Shaomu continued: "After Zhu Heng succeeds, all the soldiers and horses of our department will land collectively on the shore, and they will completely control all the important places in the territory of Macao in the shortest possible time.

After that, he asked Governor Gan to drive along the coastline, and if he encountered enemy coastal defense facilities, he would be attacked with artillery.

But there is no need to storm the enemy, just attract the enemy soldiers and horses in one place, and then continue to drive north, and if the enemy sailors attack, they can be repulsed. ”

Gan Ziba wondered: "Why is this?" ”

Yue Shaomu: "Naturally, it is a strategy to lure the enemy, and by the way, to contain the enemy's coastal sea, so that his sailors are useless." ”

Gan Ziba nodded: "Then what?" We've been drifting on the seas? ”

Yue Shaomu was silent, and then arranged tactics: "And our land division will advance on land, advancing with the navy on land and water, looking for an opportunity to block the enemy who rushes to help.

This is a strategy to exhaust the enemy, but this is not enough, we also need a foreign force to continue to contain the living forces of the Jin army. ”

Gan Ziba: "This time, the navy and the Beiwei army have a total of more than 23,000 people, are there more soldiers and horses?" ”

Yue Shaomu looked at Ban Dingyuan: "This has to rely on the envoy outside the class, I heard that you have a good relationship with the monarch of the Sealand Kingdom, and there is also a feud between the Sealand Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom, so this Third Route Army will trouble you to arrange it." ”

Ban Dingyuan arched his hand: "Please rest assured that Governor Gan and General Yue will definitely persuade Sealand to send troops." ”

Yue Shaomu nodded, and finally said to Gan Ziba: "Gan Tidu, your landing point is in this place. ”

As he spoke, Yue Shaomu pointed to the southern region of the map.

"Songzhou?"

Gan Ziba was stunned, he never thought that he would go around in such a big circle to the south, which is tens of thousands of miles away from the enemy's capital division.

However, Gan Ziba didn't say anything, although he was Yue Shaomu's boss, he never doubted the strategic and tactical arrangements of this subordinate.
