In a hurry, Li Ningyu wrote down the incident that suddenly came to his mind, and then began to think hard, because if Li Ningyu wanted to develop in the cracks, he had to exploit the loopholes, and the navy was also one of the backings for Li Ningyu to establish a strong force. One day
The time seems to go very quickly.
Li Ningyu stayed in his old house for several days, and then left Beijing with his defeated soldiers and went to Tianjin to take a boat to Shanghai. By this time, it was March 1884, although Li Ningyu was defeated in the southwest.
The French army, but the late Qing government, which only wanted to negotiate peace, had already quietly decided on history that could not be changed.
In Tianjin, Li Ningyu did not see the German Minister Assistant Morini, so he left a message and took a boat to Shanghai. In the bustling international metropolis of Shanghai, Li Ningyu took a short break and met with Hu Guangyong again.
The red-top businessman suddenly became much older, but Li Ningyu still returned part of the loan money to him.
The first is gratitude. He once lent Li Ningyu the first pot of gold. Second, in view of Zuo Zongtang's face and Hu Guangyong's talent, according to the cost price of raw silk, the original 5 million taels of goods depreciated to 2 million.
2. Although Hu Guangyong was a little unhappy with Li Ningyu's behavior, didn't he think that he only spent 2 million taels to purchase these goods? Then Li Ningyu's time flew by.
In 1884, on April 17, the 10th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu, the French army forcibly took over the Qing army's garrison near Lang Son, Vietnam. They were counterattacked and the French army retreated. On June 15, the French navy invaded Keelung, Taiwan, and was repulsed by the defenders.
On the third day of July, French warships docked at Mawei Naval Port suddenly attacked the Fujian Navy. Due to the Qing government's policy of avoiding war and seeking peace and incompetent command, the fleet rushed to the battle and was passively beaten. Eventually, the entire army was destroyed. Due to the Qing government's
By cowardly giving in, China was defeated without defeat, while France was victorious.
In September of the same year, Li Ningyu's troops, who had been in Shanghai for more than half a year, were ordered to be transferred to North Korea for garrison. Then 3,000 battalions under Li Ningyu were led by Zhang Dahu and headed for North Korea. At this time, Li Ningyu was far away in Germany. Half a year ago
, Li Ningyu, while buying guns and ammunition from the British, also purchased a large amount of opium for purification.
One noon in August 1884, in Bremen, Germany, three young Chinese walked into a small gray three-story foreign-style building on the west side of Karls Street. The strong man who had been guarding the side saw a few people.
, immediately nodded and said hello: "Master, you are here!".
"Well, is everyone here?" Li Ningyu, who was sandwiched between Tie Bing and Zhang Jun, smiled and asked the strong man guarding secretly.
The strong man did not dare to delay and immediately responded: "Yes, they are all inside!".
Li Ningyu nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work," and then led Tie Bing and Zhang Jun into the small building.
Walking into the basement of the small foreign building, Li Ningyu sat down and saw a total of more than 30 sailors from other countries. Li Ningyu did not talk to them, but waved his hand, and Zhang Jun put stacks of pounds on the
In their hands, Iron Soldier then took out a large cardboard box and placed it on the table.
Then when the sailors were surprised, Li Ningyu said in fluent English: "You all know these things, right?".
The sailors from all over the world who had already counted the cash in their hands immediately put their heads on the cartons, and then chirped: "Yes, cigarettes, cigars!".
"Yes! Yes!" Li Ningyu nodded with satisfaction, and then he told some details to the sailors. Then everyone took a box of special cigarettes and cigars and left the small foreign building. Then Li Ningyu also left the place.
This is the first foreign liaison station established by Li Ningyu, and the cigarettes and cigars given to sailors from various countries have been specially treated and contain white ingredients.
The young strong man who came out of the building said hello slightly to the young man wearing a top hat among the three. After picking up the three, they left in a carriage. In the evening, Li Ningyu met with the new German Minister to China Mori in his villa in Germany.
Ni.
Westerners' diet is very simple, so Li Ningyu naturally followed the local customs. Looking at the rosy Morini in front of him, Li Ningyu smiled and clasped his fists and said: "Congratulations, congratulations!".
And Morini also imitated Li Ningyu, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Haha, we are happy together! We are happy together!" Then the two of them burst out laughing. According to Li Ningyu's prediction in advance, someone in Morini would assassinate William I.
The news was brought back to the country, William I successfully avoided the assassination and caught the assassin, and then Morini was appointed as the new minister to China.
Morini, who had complicated feelings about Li Ningyu, naturally began to have a close relationship with Li Ningyu. That night, Li Ningyu once again gave Morini his large purchase list, and Morini was happy without even looking at it.
After agreeing, Li Ningyu, who had stayed in Germany for a month, began to return in the following days.
The returning ship was a large cargo ship. These were several old ships. Li Ningyu directly paid a high price to buy them. The sailors and captain were both Germans. At this time, the ship was filled with a large amount of mechanical equipment, guns and ammunition, including mountain cannons.
There were 100 guns and 200,000 rounds of bullets, which also consumed all Li Ningyu's savings.
On September 13, the 10th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu, in the living room of the Joseon Palace in Seoul, Gyeonggi Province, North Korea, King Li Bin of North Korea looked at the young man in front of him who was about fifteen years old and wearing a white suit with a fair complexion, and behind him stood like a javelin.
The iron soldier, Zhang Jun, felt uneasy, thinking that children of this age were starting to come out to fight.
However, his face was still calm and he took a sip of tea slowly before North Korea's King Li Bin asked: "Li Shenling, you can bring troops to Korea this time to help defend Japan. We are very grateful. I don't know what Li Shenling is going to do."
Help us?".
Li Ningyu was also sizing up the first King of Joseon who proclaimed himself emperor. King of Joseon Li Bin was of medium build, with a Chinese character face, and bright eyes. Looking at the King of Joseon Li Bin who was praised and criticized in different ways in the future, Li Ningyu calmed down.
He said in a mood: "King of Korea, I am bringing six infantry battalions and one cavalry battalion this time to help North Korea defend, because the Japanese garrison is already close to Pyongyang. I will start from the west of Hwanghae Road, the south of Ping'an Road and
For defense from the west of Gangwon Province to the east of Gangwon Province, firstly: use the existing fortifications to reduce sacrifices for defense, and secondly: recruit new troops for training in several nearby prefectures."
"Oh! This arrangement is very good!" King Li Bin of North Korea nodded, then frowned and said: "But I don't know how many soldiers Li Shenling plans to recruit. This occupied area is too close, and bandits are rampant. In terms of number,
There is no guarantee.”
