mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 545 Was carried away by victory
Zhao Chuanxin has always controlled the killing but not the burial.

He patted his ass and left, and the Qing court suffered.

Hayashi Quansuke from Japan and Bai Langgu from Portugal went back to report in misery.

When the two countries are combined, the one who can govern the Chinese must be the Chinese.

This time I suffered too much.

The Portuguese sank two warships, the Japanese sank one, and a freight steamer was snatched. It was an act of robbery.

In addition, Japan shyly emphasized that Dongsha Island was discovered by Japanese businessmen and should belong to Japan.

A joint note from Japan and Portugal to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Qing court: Zhao Chuanxin is cruel and bloodthirsty, cunning and extravagant, and he is indeed the biggest bandit in the world.Zhao Chuanxin injured the envoys of the two countries and killed the crew of the Erchenmaru, while the Qing army stood by and watched from the sidelines.Within [-] days, arrest this dormitory.However, in a few days the group of ships will arrive at the coast of the Qing Dynasty, and the disaster of Bingxian is just around the corner.

This is just the first treaty, besides, they also asked the Qing court to compensate the Portuguese and Japanese warships.

Forbidden City.

Empress Dowager Cixi was so angry that she had a heart attack. She dropped one teacup after another, feeling puzzled: "This thief Zhao Chuanxin has brought disaster to the imperial court. The warships of Japan and Portugal are about to bombard the coast of our country. Why?"

Aixinjueluo Zaifeng remained silent.

Aixinjueluo Yikuang bit the bullet and said: "Japanese wolves are ambitious, while the Portuguese are greedy for big and small Qindao, and they will succeed in their ambitions. Zhao Chuanxin is cruel and cunning. If we let them fight and lose both, the court will only delay."

Empress Dowager Cixi slapped the table: "If Portugal and Japan really fire their guns, what should they do?"

Aixinjueluo Yikuang was not surprised. Cixi was like this. She was afraid of being beaten and always backed down.

He remembered the result of the discussion with his son in the morning, and said: "The minister said that Zhao Chuanxin's ability is unpredictable, not only cruel, but also greedy, no less than the big powers. If you give money, who should you give it to? The court only needs to keep it secret. Send an envoy to deliver gold and silver goods to Zhao Chuanxin, and ask him to scuttle Portuguese and Japanese warships, and the siege of the warships will be resolved immediately..."

The people around gasped.

I'm blanching... This is really shameful.

This is throwing meat buns, let the dog bite the dog.

Originally, the endless loop situation that could neither offend the two countries, nor Zhao Chuanxin could do anything about it, was immediately revived.

At this time, Cixi was so anxious that she couldn't care about the grievances with Zhao Chuanxin. She glanced around: "Who wants to be an envoy?"

Everyone bowed their heads in unison.

The folks call Zhao Chuanxin the God of War, while the officialdom calls him the "God of Plague".

They don't want to get too close to the God of Plague.

Cixi frowned.

Why are all the self-proclaimed important ministers unreliable at critical times?

She suddenly thought of something: "Zai Zhen has dealt with Zhao thief before, and knows him very well, let him go."

Aixinjueluo Yikuang was struck by lightning.

Is that called dating?
Dealing with each other to death?Called Jinshan Yinhai?
Empress Dowager Cixi's years were ravaged by wind and rain, but at the critical moment, her eyes were like knives, and she looked at Aixinjueluo Yikuang.

Aixinjueluo Yikuang said bitterly, "Minister, obey the order..."

……

Long Jiguang and Lu Rongting got orders from the Qing court to start counterattacking the rebels.

He led a total of more than 20 battalions and began to besiege Youfu Mountain.

In the beginning, the Qing court picked the persimmons softly and attacked the insignificant hills of Mosha, Kafeng, and Quli.

Because they urgently need a victory to explain to the Qing court.

Fortunately, there is nothing to do here, the rebel army just resisted symbolically, and some places did not even deploy defenses, and the Qing army successfully occupied them.

The main force intercepted Longzhou, Ningming, Pingxiang and other places, step by step.

Sun Gongwu has his own means.

Baron Youshi, a retired French artillery military attaché, after being beaten up by Shuangxi, went so far as to help Sun Gongwu with the cannon and opened fire on the Qing army.

I don't know how it was persuaded.

His skills were excellent, and he directly hit the Qing army's camp, causing the Qing army's backyard to catch fire, killing and injuring more than [-] people.

The Qing army only made a brisk effort at the beginning and achieved a small victory, but was immediately hit by the fierce artillery fire of the rebel army and couldn't find the north.

Especially when the camp was bombed, Chen Bingkun, the leader of the garrison stationed in the pass, heard that it was Sun Gongwu and Huang Xing who personally supervised the battle on the top of the mountain. He knew that this would greatly enhance the confidence of the rebels, so he did not dare to act rashly.

The fighting quality of the Qing army was not high, and the marching speed was slow.

Chen Bingkun could only wait for backup.

On the right auxiliary mountain.

Shuangxi found Huang Mingtang: "Hurry up and figure out a way out, otherwise many people will suffer."

In fact, Huang Mingtang still thinks highly of Shuangxi and Wang Long.

But at this time, the rebel army was gaining momentum, but Shuangxi said unkind words, which made him very dissatisfied: "What happened? We are about to push back the Qing army with all our might, how can we retreat?"

Wang Long said, "Governor Huang, have you looked at the map?"

Huang Mingtang was stunned for a moment: "Of course I've seen it, I watch it every day."

There are maps hanging on the wall.

Wang Long took out a pencil from his pocket, walked to the map, clicked on a few points, and drew an arrow.

Huang Mingtang's cheeks twitched as he watched: "Don't scribble."

Wang Long turned a deaf ear to it: "I won't say anything else, look carefully, Chen Bingkun is blocking here, the Qing army's reinforcements are coming from all directions, and we are about to be surrounded. Even though the terrain of Youfu Mountain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but has Governor Huang Have you counted the ammunition?"

These points and lines are very clear, Huang Mingtang has never seen such an analysis of the battle situation.

When Wang Long said it, Huang Mingtang's heart beat.

However, the rebel army had the upper hand from the beginning to the end, which made him flustered, and he couldn't listen to Wang Long's words: "Your words are not unreasonable, but the Qing army has been beaten by us, as long as you persist..."

Wang Long put away the pencil and spread his hands towards Shuangxi.

Shuangxi endured his impatience and said: "Our insurance team has military lessons, and I have learned a little. Governor, war is about logistics and consumption. One goes up and down, and it won't last long. Once it fails, those folks who have taken refuge And those people who brought us water and food, the Qing court will definitely find them to settle accounts."

Huang Mingtang became impatient: "Okay, you guys go out first."

Shuangxi is also a hot-tempered person, and angrily took Wang Long away.

After leaving the door, Wang Long said: "There is no need to explain to them, these people who are sitting on a well and looking at the sky, really think that after two days of smooth sailing, they will understand everything."

Shuangxi scratched her messy hair, and said distressedly: "Chuan Xin said that he is not afraid of the enemy taking revenge on the people of Lugang Town. If he kills one of the people, he will kill ten of them. But I know that too many people were really killed. He will go crazy. Right now, the rebel army will definitely be defeated. Those people who follow the rebel army may not end well."

People in Lugang Town care a lot about hairstyles.

In the past, Shuangxi had short and refined hair.

But during this period of time, how can there be such a fine barber in the barber shop in Lugang Town?

His hair was long and messy like a chicken coop.

Wang Long said cold-bloodedly: "It's not relative, so what about them?"

Shuangxi shook his head: "Have you seen the eyes of those common people? They have light in their eyes. They really hope that these rebels can succeed and bring them a good life. What's more, during this time, I have eaten a lot. Here come the eggs."

When facing the Japanese, Shuangxi never relents.

But to his own people or the common people, he has never bullied others, let alone being cold-blooded.

Therefore, in Lugang Town, Double Happiness has the best personnel, both among the common people and in the insurance team.

This is a man with clear grievances and grievances.

Wang Long had no choice but to say, "Brother Shuangxi, what should we do? These bastards have a sense of superiority now, and they don't listen to us at all."

"Let's have a look first, if it's really not good, then I will help you, and you can go back to Lugang Town by yourself."

"Hehe, Brother Shuangxi, I won't leave you alone and run away."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

During this journey, both of them have grown up.

The development of the matter, everything was as expected by the two of them.

Chen Bingkun waited for reinforcements in place, and Lu Rongting dispatched troops behind him. A large number of Qing troops poured into the surrounding area. The Qing army with about 5000 soldiers was divided into four groups from Qingshan Fortress, Nanguan Gate, Mosha, Nanguan Zuobi Mountain and Sifangling and Jianshan surrounded the rebel army on the fort of Youfushan.

At this time, Sun Gongwu, who was dazzled by the victory, realized that something was wrong.

First of all, the ammunition was about to run out, and secondly, the surrounding area was airtight, and the people who came to deliver water and food could no longer supply the rebel army.

In the command post, Huang Mingtang's mouth was foaming, and he came in cursingly, saying, "Zhang Shuangxi and Wang Long, these two thorns, always mutter to me that they want to retreat, and they also say that the people will suffer..."

Sun Gongwu was taken aback for a moment, and his face suddenly became serious: "Please carefully explain what they said."

Huang Mingtang didn't know why, so he recalled it carefully.

When Sun Gongwu finished listening, his face turned pale: "Zhang Shuangxi really said that? He said he learned it in the military class of the insurance team?"

"Yes."

Sun Gongwu remained silent and began to be in a daze.

The Lugang Town Insurance Team is a strong team that has won many battles.

Under the leadership of Zhao Chuanxin, they have been fighting more with less, and they have not lost a battle so far.

What's more terrible is that they have fought countless times, and their combat experience must be better than their half-baked ones.

Since both of them said that, there must be a reason.

The more Sun Gongwu thought about it, the more he panicked. He summoned Huang Xing and other confidants and discussed, "Now that the ammunition is about to run out, I plan to go back to Hanoi to raise funds to buy weapons."

Huang Xing said in astonishment: "Didn't Zhao Chuanxin smuggle a batch of weapons and ammunition? It shouldn't be far away, right?"

In fact, raising money to buy weapons and so on is an excuse, Sun Gongwu is mainly afraid.

Where there is life, there is hope.

He immediately said: "The batch of Zhao Chuanxin's weapons, because of the recent turmoil in the Kyushu Ocean, the navy is watching closely, so they can't be transported in for the time being."

Huang Xing was suspicious because the Qing court was overwhelmed by the turmoil in Kyushu Ocean, and the weapons were transported smoothly.

He still wanted to speak, but he saw Sun Gongwu's secret wink.

Sun Gongwu hid it from most people, but not from Huang Xing.

When the people dispersed, he said: "The weapons were delivered quickly, but if you look at the map, you think that the Qing army's deployment is so tight, can we successfully transport the batch of weapons and ammunition to Youfu Mountain?"

Huang Xing was speechless.

What Sun Gongwu said is the truth.

So, Sun Gongwu took his confidants headed by Huang Xing and left Youfu Mountain first.

When Shuangxi and Wang Long heard the news, they looked at each other in dismay.

Wang Long cursed: "You are as cowardly as a mouse, you actually ran away?"

Shuangxi smiled, "Don't say that, isn't he going to raise money to buy weapons?"

"The weapons and ammunition sent by the captain are already on the way, and you still want to buy a shitty weapon?" Wang Long has never encountered such a thing, because the insurance team has never said that they abandon their teammates. "The protagonists are all gone, brother Shuangxi, let's run too."

Shuangxi disagreed: "Look again, if you want to leave, isn't it easy for you and me?"

"That's true." Wang Long had strong confidence in his abilities.

And that night, Lu Rongting led the Qing army to launch a fierce attack on the Zhenbei Fort!
Huang Mingtang was beaten...
