Qiao Zhiqing carefully studied the marked topographic map of Japan for a long time, according to the information provided in the military newspaper.At present, the main troops and horses of both sides are concentrated in the Nagoya area.Since the Shogunate faction established Emperor Meiji as the honor, the people of the world responded and called for the shogunate to return to power.At present, the place with the highest demand is in the southwest, where the Shogunate faction gathers.Zheng Dahai and his marines bypassed the sea area controlled by the foreigners and landed at Hamamatsu Castle in Japan.At that time, the Shogunate faction won successive battles, not only taking Kyoto, but also occupying Nagoya for a time, and continued to the northeast, and arrived at Edo-Tokyo Castle, where the shogunate was located.The Marines, under the command of Commander Lee Jun, quickly marched towards Nagoya after gaining a foothold at Hamamatsu Castle, conquering Toyokawa Prefecture and Toyohashi Prefecture, which were occupied by the Shogunate faction, and opening the gateway to Nagoya.The Shogunate faction didn't know anything about the sudden Huaxing Army, and thought that the shogunate had moved in the heavenly soldiers.At the beginning, the Fallen Curtain faction went directly out of the city to fight, and did not pay attention to the Huaxing army.But after organizing several battles, they were all defeated in successive battles.The spirit of the battle with the shogunate was completely dispersed, and he had to retreat to Nagoya.Raise troops and horses in Nagoya and prepare for another battle with the Huaxing army.After Zheng Dahai completed the landing mission, he began to take the initiative to look for fighters on the sea, hoping to annihilate the foreigners' power at sea in one fell swoop.At present, among Japan's naval forces, only the United States is the strongest.The warships of Britain and France were the remnants of the defeated forces that had withdrawn from China and Southeast Asia to Japan.There were less than 20 warships on both sides, all of which were converted from wooden merchant ships, and most of them had a displacement of about 5,000 tons.The U.S. sphere of influence in Asia was dominated by Japan, and after China's influence was thwarted by the Huaxing Army, it turned to Japan with all its might.There were not only ten wooden battleships of 5,000 tons, but also three ironclad battleships of more than 6,000 tons.Zheng Dahai relied on the good protection performance of the ironclad warship, and did not pay attention to the more than 30 foreigner warships.While the Marines launched an attack on Toyokawa and Toyohashi, Zheng Dahai was also responding in the nearby Sanhe Bay.The three British warships stationed in the bay of the Three Rivers made contact with the East China Sea Fleet for the first time, and were all sunk without suspense in the siege of nine warships.These three British warships were also unlucky, and they were only going to make some war money.Loaded with a full load of foreign guns, I wanted to sell them to the Japanese soldiers who were fighting on the front line.Who knows, but unbiasedly encountered the East China Sea Fleet, a huge bay, this probability can also win by buying a lottery ticket.This battle alarmed the entire fleet of foreigners in Japan, and every time they went out to sea to patrol, they all went out to patrol and never acted alone.After being captured by the Marines, Zheng Dahai established the Huaxing Army Naval Military Base here.Toyokawa Prefecture is located in the bay of Mikawa and is a natural haven.As long as the foreigners don't take the initiative to attack, Zheng Dahai also maintains a defensive posture.His mission was originally to assist the shogunate and balance the power of the Shogunate faction.Now that the East China Sea Fleet is running out of fuel, he is also trying to preserve his strength and let the shogunate deliver coal and other supplies as soon as possible."
Ziyou, is there any news from Siam" Qiao Zhiqing thought about the topographic map for a long time, and finally finished reading the military newspaper.But he didn't reply to Zheng Dahai, the two places were far apart, and Qiao Zhiqing gave Zheng Dahai a lot of autonomy.If you wait for his order, the daylily will be cold."
Oh, by the way, here" Wei Ziyou touched his head embarrassedly, took out a military newspaper from his briefcase and handed it to Qiao Zhiqing.Looking at Qiao Zhiqing's happy appearance, he almost forgot to report the affairs of Siam.The military report was sent by Zuo Zongtang, and the New Sixth Army and the New Seventh Army had captured the capital of Siam, Bangkok.Siam is not a martial people, because of the Buddhist relationship, the people of this country have a fairly peaceful mind.After the British colonists withdrew their troops from Siam, the Huaxing army fought again.The inhabitants of this country were apparently surprised, and with the assistance of Zheng Tai's forces in Siam, it did not provoke much resistance.King Rama IV of Siam sent an envoy to Zuo Zongtang to sue for peace.The envoy spoke earnestly and strongly expressed that Rama IV was willing to bow down to the new China.The army of the Celestial Empire retreated, so as not to let Siam fall into another military disaster.Zuo Zongtang immediately gave Qiao Zhiqing's conditions to the king of Siam, as long as he was willing to abdicate.With Zheng Tai as the prime minister of Siam, Hua Xingjun is willing to let him and the royal family live.Rama IV was furious and scolded the Huaxing army for being more fierce than the foreigners.Once again, he called on all prefectures and counties to send troops to Qinwang, and gathered more than 100,000 soldiers and horses to confront the Huaxing army in the area of Bangkok.Zuo Zongtang and Guo Songtao didn't pay attention to these soldiers and horses at all, and on the surface, they said that they were more than 100,000.In fact, there were only 50,000 or 60,000 regular troops, mixed with 50,000 or 60,000 peasants.The best weapons of these 50,000 or 60,000 regular troops were the foreign guns left behind when the British colonists withdrew, and most of the soldiers were only armed with knives, guns, sticks and sticks.At present, there is no news on the situation in Bangkok, as long as Bangkok is taken, Malaysia will open the door.The Malay people, who were even more backward than Siam, had nothing to worry about except for the 5,000 British soldiers and fleet stationed in Malacca."
Ziyou, you report this army back to Zuo Zongtang.Ma Xun was instructed to raise another batch of medicines for the treatment of malaria and influenza and replenish them for the New Sixth Army and the New Seventh Army. ”Qiao Zhiqing sent a letter to Zuo Zongtang, telling him to overcome difficulties and open up the communication line in Siam as soon as possible.After writing it, he handed it to Wei Ziyou and explained to her separately.At present, malaria and influenza are everywhere in the New Sixth Army and the New Seventh Army, and the soldiers are also unaccustomed to the soil and water, and they are complaining about hardships again and again, which has greatly affected the combat effectiveness of the troops."
Yes, President" Wei Ziyou nodded in agreement, and after receiving the military report, he went down and went down to get busy with official business.Qiao Zhiqing got up and stretched, his heart finally relaxed, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.A military newspaper from the Forbidden City in Beijing was sent back to the Military Aircraft Department, smoothing the threshold of the Military Aircraft Department in half.Prince Gong hurriedly went to the Yangxin Palace to ask to see the Empress Dowager Cixi, and told Cixi in detail about the movements of the Huaxing Army in the past month."
This Qiao Zhiqing, who has just been separated for a year, began to toss again.Hongu was really blind at the beginning, so why didn't he see his wolf ambitions. ”Cixi slammed the military newspaper to the ground, and cursed with a broken mouth."
Queen Mother, we have to respond.The Huaxing Army transported hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to Shanxi, plus the 100,000 soldiers and horses in Shanxi at the beginning.Now there are more than 200,000 people, you can't help but guard against it" Prince Gong bowed and stood aside, not daring to gasp."
That's right, but at present, the military salary of the imperial court is tight, and there is a shortage of soldiers and horses, how to deal with so many soldiers and horses" Cixi's distressed brows furrowed, she followed Yi's suggestion, and really adopted the policy of donating officials.For a while, the merchants in Jiangbei shouted long live, and in order to glorify their ancestors, they all donated an idle official.For a time, the household department sold hundreds of official positions and raised more than 5 million taels of silver.But now that Jiangbei is devastated on all sides, where are the five million silver trucks enough.Before it could enter the treasury, the holes were filled a little, and only more than 500,000 taels remained."
Don't worry about the Queen Mother, didn't the slave tell you that the foreigners hate Qiao Zhiqing so much, and they support us with great efforts.Guns for guns, guns for guns, money for money.At present, Britain, France, the United States, and Russia have raised tens of millions of taels of silver and hundreds of thousands of the latest foreign guns to give us loans for use.The minions are about to negotiate with them, and with this batch of silver and munitions, we can have a big fight with the Huaxing army.First solve the Huaxing army in Jiangbei, stabilize the situation in Jiangbei, and then go south to pacify Jiangnan, and restore the prestige of the Qing Dynasty.He deliberately reported good news but not bad news, what the Great Qing Kingdom was like, he couldn't understand it better.At present, the Boxers in Zhili, Shandong, and Henan have not yet been pacified, although Rong Lu, the governor of Zhili, Ding Baozhen, the governor of Shandong, and Yuan Baoheng, the governor of Henan, and Yuan Jiasan, the governor of Henan, have just passed away, and his son Yuan Baoheng took over as governor.However, the forces of all parties did not contribute to the work, and the Boxers tossed and turned in the cracks, and survived tenaciously.This is also due to the fact that most of the middle-level commanders and generals of the Boxer Rebellion have held positions in New China, and they have also opened their horizons and seen all kinds of ways to unify the army.When the Boxers first developed, they repeatedly snatched firearms from the Eight Banners Army and the Green Battalion Army with only the swords and guns in their hands.Then he turned to confront the regimental training forces, and the most powerful of them was Rong Lu's hundreds of thousands of guards.After a year of training, this team is not inferior to the Huaxing Army except for weapons.When Rong Lu built the army, he was prepared according to the establishment of the Huaxing Army, and he took this army back and forth, and he also went through a lot of battles.As long as the Boxers met Rong Lu's protection, they were defeated repeatedly, and they were beaten without the power to parry, and completely withdrew from the Zhili area.Now the Boxer Rebellion is only active in the junction zone between Shandong and Henan, and does not dare to step into Zhili.Because of his military exploits, Rong Lu was crowned as a loyal and brave marquis by Cixi, and Cixi paid more attention to this former little lover, and his status was close to Prince Gong.In order to keep his position, Yi doesn't say bad news now, just to amuse Cixi, take a step by step."
Prince Gong, back then, the first emperor entrusted our orphans and widows to you, but you didn't disappoint the palace.Everything is according to what you said, negotiate with the foreigners as soon as possible.We will agree to whatever conditions they offer, anyway, the territory of our Great Qing Kingdom is so big, they can give them whatever they want, as long as they can exchange it for silver and weapons. ”Cixi glanced at Yi seductively, raised her little foot, and slowly swept over Yi's head."
Queen Mother, rest assured, the slaves will do their best to ensure that my Qing Dynasty will last forever."
Yi smiled on his face, held Cixi's little feet with both hands and sucked them for a long time, and kissed them up through the obscene pants in the cheongsam."
You monkey cub is in a hurry," Cixi laughed debauchedly, and pulled him to the couch with her legs between her legs.He muttered a few times under him, and took the initiative to take off Yi's official robe.Caressing hungrily and kissing greedily, the two of them went to Wushan together in a while
