Chapter Thirty-Four

Mingyue of the Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

, in order to strengthen the capital of the Qing Dynasty in this war, such as setting up banks, doing Western learning, expanding various instrument bureaus, purchasing warships, etc. But even so, the opposition in the Golden Palace has been enough to overturn the roof. Guan Xuqing has to compromise many things, such as letting the new army braids. It is really inconvenient to have a braid in the artillery fire, but it failed because of the strong opposition of the Manchu nobles. When the war is over, we must vomit the old and accept the new. All these diehards are replaced. According to the article, Liang Qichao, Kang Youwei and others should be on the list of gold this year.

As soon as Zuo Zongtang arrived in Fujian, Wu Guang, the commander of the local army garrison, came to visit.

"The last general Wu Guang met with the general." Wu Guang knelt down and said.

"Don't say too much nonsense, hurry up and draw people to the island to defend. When you go to war with the French, foreigners must attack Taiwan." Zuo Zongtang ordered.

"Zha, let's arrange this last time." Wu Guang said with his order.

On the other hand, Lu Yiwei transferred defense from Dalian to Yunnan, Guizhou, Jiangsu, and Shandong garrison troops from each dispatched two commandos to the north to defend Dalian, Shengjing and other places.

The war was about to break out, and the strong smell of gunpowder was everywhere.

In the Fuzhou Governor's Office, soldiers in military uniforms were on both sides of the stone steps, and gray walls were hidden under a green shade.

Zuo Zongtang, Fujian Navy generals Liu Jintang, Shen Baozhen, Zhang Peilun and Army Commander Wu Guang sat down in the living room. Zuo Zongtang stood up and opened the window and said, "Everyone, please see. The French ships have gathered in the Taiwan Strait."

Outside the window, I saw more than a dozen warships with the French flag gathered together on the vaguely visible sea surface.

"Supervisor Zuo doesn't have to worry. My Qing warships are enough to deal with the French. As long as they dare to invade, they will be told that they will never return." Shen Baozhen said.

"Don't underestimate the enemy. French ships gather in the Taiwan Strait. It seems that they are going to attack our Qing Dynasty. We must strengthen Fujian as soon as possible

Chaos rebirth ruled the defense of the other world http://www.77nt/23488/, repaired and reinforced the fortress on the north and south coast of the Minjiang River estuary." Zuo Zongtang turned around and continued: "Wu Junmen, how many troops are there in Taiwan Island?"

"Go back to Zuo Shuai, there are troops from the fifth battalion of our troops on Taiwan Island." Wu Guang stood up and said.

"Where is Sun Kaihua?" Zuo Zongtang shouted.

"The last one will be there." A young man walked in from outside.

"This person is a subordinate of my former Hunan Army and is brave in combat. He is a tiger general. The Wu army gate gave him two more battalions and went to Taiwan immediately." Zuo Zongtang said.

"yes."

"Kaihua, I warn you that the island is there. If you want to fight to the last battle, you will be killed if anyone retreats in the face of battle!" Zuo Zongtang said.

"twitter!"

Paris is known as the capital of romance. At this time, the parliament of Paris was in full swing. There were fierce quarrels over the recent situation of the Far East Army, but the result still could not be changed. Because the Qing Dynasty suddenly joined the war, France urgently added 15,000 troops and went to Vietnam to participate in the war!

In their opinion, it was enough to deal with the Qing team's more than 10,000 troops composed of the great Gauls! Everyone was still immersed in the fact that thousands of French people entered the capital of the Qing Dynasty twenty years ago. They plundered countless treasures, and this time they wanted more.

In the ninth year of the Guangxu period, in April 1883, the French had occupied most of Vietnamese land, and only two provinces in northern Vietnam did not fall into the control of the French.

One was Beining, where the Qing army focused on stationing, and the other was Shanxi occupied by Liu Yongfu's Black Flag Army.

Liu Yongfu's original name was Liu Jianye and his courtesy name was Yuanting. He was born in Qinzhou, Guangdong in 1837 (now belonging to Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region). At the age of eight, he went into exile with his father to Shangsi County in southern Guangxi. He worked as a boatman in Zuojiang since he was 13 years old, and once wandered to work in Mangjie, Vietnam, and suffered a lot of hardship.

In 1857, he joined the peasant uprising army led by the Guangxi Tiandihui. Later, the Black Flag Army led by Liu Yongfu was a branch of the Tiandihui. It used the seven-star black flag as the military flag, so it was called the Black Flag Army. The basic members were poor peasants. In the 1860s, they moved to the Yunnan-Vietnam border area and gradually expanded to more than 2,000 people. In 1873, the French army invaded Hanoi, and Liu Yongfu's Black Flag Army was invited by the Vietnamese government to resist France;

Before the Qing army officially entered Vietnam, the Black Flag Army had been harassing the French army in Vietnam. It also achieved certain results and faced the French team when France attacked Hanoi. When the Black Flag Army attacked Hanoi in France, the Black Flag Army met the French team at the Paper Bridge west of Hanoi. Due to the huge disparity between the two sides, Liu Yongfu adopted an ambush battle and fought with more than 1,800 French troops with three thousand troops to achieve a great victory in the Paper Bridge. However, after all, the weapons and equipment were too poor, and a few thousand troops stationed in Shanxi was really not reassuring.

However, the Black Flag Army was regarded as a rebel by the court. In order to avoid going to war with the Black Flag Army, the Qing army did not dare to send troops to Shanxi for defense. Therefore, there was an obvious defensive loophole. The French team also saw this. The squadron's incoordination and lack of unified command. They could easily adopt the methods of defeating each one. The first thing to bear was the Black Chess Army, which had backward weapons and poor soldiers.

As the supreme commander of the Qing army in Vietnam, Liu Mingchuan, of course, saw this. He divided the ten-type troops into three stairs. The troops stationed in Beining had five-type troops. A group of troops were installed outside Beining City to attack the French army. In addition, two-type troops were arranged in the mountains behind Beining City to break the rear. Two-type troops were stationed twenty kilometers behind Shanxi Province, ready to take over Shanxi at any time. The troops were self-deployed. Since they had just entered Vietnam, they were not very clear about the arrangement of the French army, so they were still waiting for the French army to attack and then seek counterattack.

On the other hand, France's regular army in Vietnam had reached 30,000 after the arrival of 15,000 troops in China. There were also 40,000 temporary troops formed by Vietnam and Algerians, and there were also gangsters from European countries, 5,000 international mercenaries formed by the formation. The total force reached a terrifying 75,000.
