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

"What's going on before?" Gu Ba asked loudly.

"General, it's not good. The road ahead to the west has been blocked by the Qing army?" said a correspondent.

Gu Ba roared loudly, "How could this happen? When did the Qing army come? Aren't we always had our guards?"

The correspondent lowered his head and was speechless for a long time.

"Let the Second Brigade organize troops and break through. The sea is on the east side and the Qing army's warships are there. Going there is a dead end, and we can only break through from the west." Guba's judgment of the current form is relatively accurate.

"General, the First Brigade can't hold on anymore. Tens of thousands of Qing troops rushed up, and the troops that broke the rear could no longer stop it." The communication soldier behind ran and said hurriedly.

"God, let them hold on for another 2 hours. After 2 hours, they are allowed to surrender to the Qing army." Gu Ba said helplessly.

Guba had completely lost confidence in this war, and what he hoped was to open the road to the west as soon as possible. Then he would deal with the Qing army in the mountains and wait for domestic reinforcements.

But one bad news after another gave him a headache.

"General, the Qing army ahead is a unit of an army. There are tens of thousands of people. The Second Brigade launched three attacks and retreated. There were heavy casualties!"

"What? The Qing army had long expected to attack from the front? The troops had been ambushed here long ago?" Gu Ba could not imagine what kind of troops this was. Or the squadron mentioned by his predecessors?

When did the great Republic fight against people of color encounter the current situation?

The front cannot break through, the rear cannot resist it. We still have to rely on reinforcements that are indefinitely absent. This is the current situation facing Gu Ba. He told himself that even if God is here, he may not be able to change the situation of the war.

In desperation, Da Yi waved: "All troops retreat eastward."

Finally, more than 30,000 French troops remained, broke through to the beach at the only loophole in the encirclement of the Qing army.

"Immediately build fortifications along the coastline, we can only stand here and wait for reinforcements." Gu Baiba gave the order with his dark eyes.

After three days of strong attack, the Hucheng Fortress was finally broken through the painful price. Other cities in Vietnam were stationed in some vassals. Under the impact of the Black Flag Army and the Dong Liang army, the edict was made in a few days.

The entire Vietnam is under the control of the Qing army, and the last tens of thousands of French troops have been besieged by the sea. Nearly 200,000 Qing army built barbed wire around to surround the entire French army. But there is no intention of attack. In fact, if it is to be eliminated,

The Zero-level master http://www.77nt/19181/ Why should these French troops move? If you transfer one or two warships to fire a few guns on the sea, you can cook them into a pot of human flesh and steel soup.

After the news reached the capital, Guan Xuqing let out a heavy breath. Although the process was much more difficult than he had imagined at the beginning, he finally achieved the same effect.

"Go and call Prince Gong, Prince Chun, Li Hongzhang, and Zuo Zongtang to discuss matters." Guan Xuqing said to Wang Shang.

"twitter."

After Zuo Zongtang brought the injured warship back to the Jiangnan Shipbuilding Bureau, he returned to the capital. The victory of the Sino-French battle is already a matter of deciding on the board. The following is how to deal with the aftermath, how to negotiate with the French, the status and ownership of Vietnam, and the future national policies, all need to set a direction at this time.

After a while, four military ministers came to the front. When everyone came in, they were confused and did not understand why the emperor suddenly summoned them to discuss matters. Originally, the war in Vietnam had to be handed over to Guan Xuqing, but he was too nervous about the war in Vietnam, so he asked several eunuchs to take turns to guard the telegraph room day and night, but they had not received the news yet.

Everyone fell to the ground: "I will meet the emperor, and the emperor will be lucky."

Guan Xuqing looked at the telegram with a smile, then handed it to Prince Gong, saying, "Liu Mingchuan did a good job and broke through the Hucheng Fortress in three days. Lu Yiwei successfully blocked the mountains and now he has driven the French army to the beach. My Qing Dynasty's 200,000 troops surrounded them. The French lost completely. Summoning all the ministers to discuss what to do next."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Even Prince Gong, who was not easy to speak, was full of disbelief. The French actually lost, and the Qing Dynasty really won? It was difficult for everyone to digest for a while.

It was Li Hongzhang the first to stand up and said: "Your Majesty, I think the Qing Dynasty should use this victory to talk to me with the French. If the emperor trusts me, I am willing to talk to the French and ask for an explanation from the French."

Guan Xuqing couldn't help but sigh in his heart that a "request for peace" and a "bi-reconciliation". The difference between one word is more than a thousand miles away. Finally, his efforts were not in vain. Guan Xuqing thought for a while and said, "It's better to go Hongzhang, but this time he talked with the legal person. First, the French who were caught by us must let them redeem them with silver; second, the compensation to the Qing Dynasty, and the compensation to the year of Gengzi and Xinyou will be returned to me; third, Vietnam must belong to my Qing Dynasty; fourth, all the terms signed by the French and I before the Qing Dynasty will be invalidated. Just these four articles, please do whatever else."

Guan Xuqing said to Zuo Zongtang again: "Zongtang, you draft an order for me to reward the soldiers on the front line. All officers will be promoted to one level. Soldiers will pay two years of salary, and all the soldiers will be given preferential treatment. In addition, just ask Liu Mingchuan to tie his pockets tightly. Don't cut off all the French in his pockets. I will keep them useful."

It is not useful, I am afraid that I should submit to these people as legal persons. Everyone saw that the emperor was doing everything without any loss, as if he had already made a successful conclusion, and couldn't help but feel shocked in their hearts. However, when they recalled the war this year, they first had a big defeat, then a small victory, and finally a big victory. This was almost all caused by the insistence of the little emperor in front of them. The section and courage he showed was the most shocking to everyone.

"Zhe." Zuo Zongtang and Li Hongzhang said together.

Guan Xuqing said to Prince Gong again: "This victory was based on the ironclad ships bought from foreigners and the Qing army trained in recent years. I think that a strong country must first strengthen the army. The two cruisers ordered by Hongzhang from the British a year ago should be able to return to China early next year. I hope that in the future, whether it is a cruiser or a ironclad ship, we can build by ourselves in the Qing Dynasty. So I decided to rebuild the Mawei Army Port and transform the Lushun Army Port. I sent a group of people to the UK and Germany to learn shipbuilding technology."

Prince Gong quickly said, "Du Zhi has words, no profit, no change of law; no achievements, no change of tools. Su Zizhan also said that when there is nothing, it is enough to be famous, but always suffers from disbelief; when there is something, it is enough to see faith, but only suffers from inability, which is the reason."

Guan Xuqing said happily: "Since that's the case, we will decide the basic national policy for the next five years first. We should strengthen the army and develop the navy and army as the main focus. At the beginning, I only retained 500,000 troops in order to reduce military expenses. But now it seems far from enough, and the current economy has been slightly alleviated. Zong Tang, the Black Flag Army will be directly incorporated. It is also a unit of the same department, and then recruit 400,000 troops. The Qing army has a total of 1 million units!"
