Chapter 31: The Qing Court's Attack
"Recently, news came from Japan. ”
"The Japanese side has always submitted to our Qing Dynasty. I heard that the Taiping army occupied the territory of my Qing Dynasty, and I was quite blind. They sent their colonel, Gui Zhenzhi, with 3,500 men, to attack the Taipings. ”
"In this time, they encountered the Young Heavenly King of the Taiping Army. ”
"According to the Japanese army, the young king of the Taiping army has great fruits. Five hundred of them were on the ship, and they were defeated by one of the young kings. However, this young king is not invincible, he is shot by a Western musket, and half of the bullet can enter his body. ”
"More than a year ago, at that time, our people witnessed the resurrection of the Young Heavenly King. At that time, the bullet hit the Young Heavenly King, and when it was still three feet away from the Young Heavenly King, it was bounced back, which was so incredible that we didn't dare to act rashly. ”
"However, now the Japanese army says that the strength of the Young Heavenly King, that is, the strength of the young king when he fought our army more than four years ago, is not as outrageous as when he was resurrected more than a year ago. ”
"So, can you make a hypothesis? ”
"The young king of the Taiping army, it was unreasonable when he was resurrected. His usual state is not so strong, and bullets can still hurt him. Zeng Guofan analyzed little by little.
"And if the Young Heavenly King really has the strength that a bullet can't hit him three feet away, I'm afraid that he will already counterattack our Qing Kingdom. Therefore, it should be the norm for his bullet to not be able to shoot three feet away from him. ”
"If you look at these phenomena together, you will find that his real strength should be about the same as more than four years ago. ”
After summing it up, Zeng Guofan said: "So, I think that now is the time for us to vigorously attack Duwan Province and completely destroy the Taiping army. also killed the young king of the Taiping army. Otherwise, sooner or later it will be a big disaster. ”
Many courtiers in the Qing court, listening to it, all felt quite reasonable.
However, some people have the opposite: "Even if you kill the young king of the Taiping army now." But what if he's reborn? It's a man who can't be killed. ”
"There should be many restrictions on the rebirth of the young king, and it is impossible to say that rebirth is rebirth. Otherwise, he would not have died four years ago and only been reborn a year ago. As long as we kill the Young Heavenly King, we can kill this person completely after killing a few more times. He is a man, not a god!"
Zeng Guofan is worthy of being a masterpiece of this era, and he analyzed a lot of things about He Xuan through some intelligence.
Many ministers in the court also nodded when they heard this.
Behind the bead curtain, Cixi's voice came: "You do have some truth in what you say. According to your words, is it time to attack Dumban Island?"
"Yes. However, the minister had been preparing for this for a long time, and had prepared a lot of steam ships, but it would take a month to transfer the troops and horses. It also takes a month to train intensively. After two months, it will be possible to attack Duwan Island. Zeng Guofan said in a deep voice.
"Good, good. Zeng Guofan, you deserve to be the pillar of the country. That's it. The Empress Dowager Cixi praised casually, anyway, good words don't cost money, and saying a good word can make a capable person like Zeng Guofan obediently be a dog of the Qing court and make more money.
......
Two months later.
The Qing court had already assembled a full 100,000 troops and reached the coastal areas of Fujian.
This 100,000-strong army was led by Zeng Guofan's younger brother, Zeng Guoquan, who was an old man.
Moreover, of these 100,000 troops, 60,000 troops, were armed with muskets. The Qing court seemed to have hundreds of thousands of troops, but in fact, the troops armed with muskets were definitely less than 100,000.
Obviously, the Qing court has made up its mind to destroy the Taiping army in a war and completely solve this trouble.
Immediately, Zeng Guoquan used a ship to transport troops to attack Duwan Island.
There is a limit to the steam ship, and the current steam ship of the Qing court can transport about 120,000 people at a time.
Therefore, 15,000 people were transported over first, and the plan was to establish a base on Duwan Island, and then the follow-up more than 80,000 people were transported over. If the vanguard of 15,000 people is allowed to gain a firm foothold, the real 100,000 people have passed, and the last Taiping army can be easily eaten.
For a time, the warships were like clouds.
Duwan Island is also caught in the flames of war.
The first batch of 15,000 people has already reached the coastline of Duwan Island.
On the Taiping side, they had already received the news that the Qing court was coming to attack, and they deployed defenses on the coastline and engaged in a fierce battle with the 15,000 people of the Qing court. Here, I have to thank the Japanese, if it weren't for the 3,000 Western firearms they sent and a Polar Bird, I am afraid that the firepower of the Taiping Army would not be as fierce as it is now, and the initial contact with the Qing court would have suffered.
He Xuan naturally participated in this defense, and he absolutely could not let the Qing court establish a base on the island.
In this battle, He Xuan's performance was brilliant and successfully resisted the attack of the Qing court.
After this war, He Xuan was so tired that his whole body was weak.
However, it was after this war that He Xuan also harvested all the negative emotions of more than 1,000 Japanese prisoners, and the negative emotions of more than 100,000 were in his hands.
What should more than 100,000 negative emotions do?
He Xuan looked at it.
First of all, it took more than 20,000 negative sentiment values to add attributes.
In this way, it became He Xuan.
Spirit: 5.
Strength: 5.
Speed: 10.
Constitution: 10.
Defense: 10.
Skills: Elementary Thorn Willow Swordsmanship, Primary Breaking Army Sword Qi.
Finally, the three attributes reached ten o'clock.
Last time, the system prompted that as long as the three attributes reached ten, a new skill would be created.
Immediately went to the system store, and saw that among the books in the system store, in addition to the primary thorn willow sword technique, after the primary sword qi of the army, there was also a local yellow book. Take a look at the introduction.
Skill: Beginner Hegemony (Divided into two layers.) The first layer can increase the defense value by three points for half an hour. The second layer increases defense by six points. Unlock conditions are unknown. It takes 20,000 negative sentiment points to exchange. )
Seeing this new skill, it's really super easy to use!
If you can add three defense points to your current attribute points, the Western musket may not be able to hurt you.
Of course, the exchange requires 20,000 negative sentiment points, which is really not an ordinary black.
Fortunately, I still have 100,000 negative sentiment points, so I can redeem it directly.
After brushing it, his negative sentiment value dropped to 80,000 points.
And in terms of skills, there is an extra junior hegemon!
Tsk, it just so happens that the Qing court soldiers are pressing the border.
Then let them learn and learn, and they will be great when they become stronger.
