Chapter 21: Frontier Garrison

Tie Bing's words had an effect, and all the soldiers in the camp became quiet. Then Li Ningyu began to ask again: "Tomorrow, we will arrive in the northwest of Hanoi to garrison. Do you know?".

"I know!" After a loud reply, Li Ningyu continued to ask with a smile: "Do you know why we are going there, northwest of Hanoi?".

"have no idea!"

"I know!" Two answers came next. About five seconds later, Li Ningyu pressed his hand down to signal everyone to be quiet. Then Li Ningyu's face became solemn and he glanced around the camp again.

Soldier, Li Ningyu said slowly: "Should everyone know the role of our Southwest Han military flag?".

"I know! Guard the southwest territory!"

"Yes, everyone is right! We are soldiers guarding the southwest territory, but not long ago, the King of Vietnam suddenly died of illness, and the French have begun to prepare to take Vietnam, our vassal country of the Qing Dynasty, into their own pockets. We should

What should I do?" Li Ningyu said loudly with all his strength.

"Drive him away!"

"Hit him!"

"Hit him!"

"Beat him!" Upon hearing this, the soldiers in the camp, who had long been aroused by Li Ningyu, immediately shouted loudly, and Li Ningyu also took advantage of the situation and asked: "Yes, as long as he dares to invade our Qing territory, we will beat him

He is cruel, but they have foreign guns and cannons, and we are just flesh and blood!".

As soon as Li Ningyu's words came out, all the soldiers in the camp were silent, and they looked up at Li Ningyu in confusion, as if Li Ningyu could give them an answer, but then Li Ningyu said loudly: "Why are we soldiers? To protect ourselves."

The purpose of defending the country is to protect our brothers and sisters from being bullied by foreigners, not for comfort or making money! So what should we do?"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" As soon as Li Ningyu said these words, all the soldiers in the camp roared loudly with their eyes red and their blood surging.

"Okay! Sure enough, you are all good, I saw you right!" Li Ningyu nodded happily, and then Li Ningyu said excitedly: "Today I will swear a blood oath here, as long as I, Li Ningyu

As long as I live, I will never let the French and foreigners insult our compatriots, our brothers and sisters, our wives and children, unless I die!" After saying this, Li Ningyu pulled out his sword, and then looked at

When the soldiers in the camp arrived, they also imitated Li Ningyu, and then Li Ningyu knelt down on one knee, and the soldiers in the camp immediately followed me.

"The sky is high above and the earth is thick below. I, Li Ningyu, swear a blood oath today that I will never let France invade my Chinese territory!" Then the sword in Li Ningyu's hand made a cut in the palm of his hand, and the blood was instantly left, and then the camp

The blood of 432 soldiers was left at the same time. Then the five cooks brought out a large vat of wine, and Li Ningyu and others dripped their own blood into it.

After a while, Li Ningyu picked up the bowl, looked at the soldiers in front of him with a red face and shouted: "Drink the blood wine!".

"Do it!" For a moment, all the soldiers and Li Ningyu drank the bloody wine in the bowl, and then Li Ningyu said: "Soldiers, listen to the order, target the northwest camp in Hanoi, run forward!".

After two hours of journey, the battalion soldiers led by Li Ningyu successfully exchanged defenses with a Han army flag originally stationed there. After seeing them off, Li Ningyu immediately returned to the camp. By this time, all the battalion squad leaders and platoon leaders had arrived at the camp.

Waiting in the tent, a huge military map appeared in front of everyone.

Then Li Ningyu began to order: "The first platoon is responsible for guarding Heiya Mountain. They must occupy all the commanding heights of the passage for me. As long as a foreign Japanese soldier appears, there is no need to ask for instructions. Shoot immediately! But it is best to wait for the foreign Japanese to get closer first!".

"Yes! However, in the military academy, our platoon only has 10 rifles. Three guns are not enough for a commanding height!" A platoon leader immediately stood up and agreed after hearing Li Ningyu's order.

Deputy Military Academy Zhang Dahu was originally a member of the Han Army Banner. After Li Ningyu took over, Li Ningyu found that this southwestern man was relatively malleable for the military. Then Li Ningyu appointed him as a platoon leader, looking at him with careful thoughts in his eyes.

He, Li Ningyu, said with a smile: "Nonsense, I know you have a keen eye. After seeing the new rifles, you wander around the door of my camp every day. But this time, considering the needs of the war, all 50 new rifles were given to me.

You, but let me tell you something ugly, within three days, every soldier in your platoon will put their rifles on target for me!"

"Yes! I promise to complete the mission!" Zhang Dahu immediately stood up and expressed his stance after hearing Li Ningyu directly give him all 50 new guns in a row.

Then under the scorching eyes of everyone in the field, Li Ningyu began to order again: "Second platoon, third platoon! Responsible for coordinating the first platoon. Once the French soldiers appear, after the first platoon fires, they will immediately launch an offensive on the ground, but they must seize the opportunity.

, attack as a whole while the enemy is changing bullets!."

"Yes!" Wang Hu, the commander of the second platoon, and the commander of the third platoon stood up and said.

Then Li Ningyu looked at the iron soldiers and said: "The fourth and fifth platoons, the guard squads are commanded by the iron soldiers and are temporarily stationed at Yupingkou, waiting for orders to be ready to send troops to Vietnam at any time."

"Yes!" Tie Bing responded loudly, and then everyone left and took their subordinate soldiers to start training shooting, adjusting defenses, and building defensive fortifications, while Li Ningyu frowned and looked at the military map on the wall.

"Black Flag Army, Liu Yongfu!" In the next three days, these two terms kept appearing in Li Ningyu's mind. According to Li Ningyu's understanding of some historical materials of the Black Flag Army, he believed that the Black Flag Army was just a uprising in China.

As one of the members of the Taiping Army at that time, he did not have the same political ideals as the Taiping Army.

After the defeat of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Black Flag Army fled to Vietnam. They settled in the mountainous area in the northwest of Beiqi on the border and did some illegal activities. Maybe the King of Vietnam always regarded the Chinese as Chinese people, so he was unable to expel the Black Flag Army.

I don't want to be evicted either.

As for this Green Forest Hero with more than 2,000 people, Li Ningyu honestly disliked him, but he wanted to pull him over. After all, there must be some talents among the 2,000 Green Forest Heroes, and they were originally a group of life-hungry people.

, very suitable for the needs of future struggles.

Today is already June 1883. According to time, the French army has begun to attack Hue, the capital of Vietnam. The Vietnamese National Defense Force quickly collapsed. The current king Nguyen Phuc Thang will choose to surrender and sign the "Hue Treaty" with France, recognizing Vietnam as a

The French protectorate, domestic and foreign affairs, are all managed by France.

Although in the end, all high-level members of the Vietnamese government refused to recognize it and ousted Nguyen Phuc Thang, the late Qing government responded quickly and sent an expeditionary force to Vietnam to aid Vietnam, and deployed defenses in Bac Ninh, Son Tay, and Hung Hoa provinces near Tokyo (Hanoi).

, but the French army launched an offensive and directly defeated the Vietnam Expeditionary Force and the Black Flag Army. The late Qing government had no choice but to negotiate with France.
