Unfortunately, despite Li Hongzhang’s severe handling of this matter, the procrastination of the Qing court has not been improved at all. This old empire has rotted to the bone, and it is not enough to whip a few people to change it.
Li Hongzhang, commander-in-chief of Huai army, and Zuo Zongtang, commander-in-chief of Chu army, held a brief meeting to discuss the tactics of the two armies when all levels of Qing court were in a hurry to prepare for war.
A hidden living room where Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang meet privately.
They dare not get along alone face to face and are suspected by the demon queen.
"Li Xiong, this time, the two of us are walking on thin ice. If we are not careful, we will be blamed for the ages."
Zuo Zongtang sighed
Li Hongzhang is also very difficult to "be so resistant."
Zuo Zongtang was silent, and the two of them, the Chu Army and the Huai Army Commander, represented the interests of the two forces. What did they consider before the interests of their individual will groups?
"If you ask me, I blame those foreigners for being hateful. If they didn’t encourage the Queen Mother, they might not dare to fight the Fuxing District."
Li hongzhang know said some hurriedly change the subject.
"You know better than me that the British are cunning. I’m sure there must be a conspiracy when the British encouraged the Queen Mother to fight this time."
Zuo Zongtang also agreed, "But I doubt another thing."
"What?" Li Hongzhang asked
Zuo Zongtang told Li Hongzhang what Wang Lei had said to him when he went to Fuxing District for negotiations.
"In order to exercise the organization, I will not hesitate to use the pressure of my opponents to temper the Fuxing Army. This is really what Wang Lei said."
Li Hongzhang was frightened to disgrace and felt that Wang Lei was even more terrible than he had imagined.
Such people are either crazy or genius.
"Good verve! Good spirit! "
At the thought of that age, when they became men, their organization actually planned all this at any cost. Zuo Li and Pei Yu can also sigh that this man is not only a genius but also a madman.
"Now it’s very likely that Fuxing District is trapped by that person. This trap will keep the Queen Mother, you, me, everyone and even the British in the dark!"
Zuo Zongtang sighed and said with dignified eyes.
Hearing these words for a long time, Li Hongzhang couldn’t say a word, but he felt great terror in his heart.
"How strong is the real strength of the Fuxing Army in their hands now!"
※※※
High-level officials of Fuxing Army in Fuxing District got together to discuss the strategy.
"At present, there are three forces of Zuo Zongtang’s Chu army confronting us at the front line of Fuxing Army-Li Hongzhang’s Huai Army in Hunan and Anhui, Shen Baozhen’s Min Army in the south of Shandong’s front line, regardless of the British factor. Chu Army is the strongest, Huai Army is the weakest."
A young commander in front of the sand table is introducing the current situation to everyone.
"My view is that getting rid of the weakest Fujian army first can not only blow the arrogance of the Qing army, but also prevent us from being attacked between Scylla and Charybdis."
Li Xiu, nephew of Li Xiucheng, took the lead in speaking that Li Xiu was a young man when he went to the Philippines with Wang Lei. Now he has become an excellent officer and a senior member of the Fuxing Army, and he is also the father of two children.
His officers nodded in succession and felt that Li Xiu’s speech was very feasible.
Then several people added that they all seemed to agree with Li Xiu’s words, and then all eyes looked at Wang Lei to hear what he had to say.
Wang Lei held his temple and said, "Li Xiu’s tactics are feasible. Before that, the Qing army was our main enemy, but you have to make it clear that according to our intelligence, the enemy this time is mainly Britain, a shit-churning stick. Our real difficulty is how to deal with those 20 strong British people."
"Britain’s powerful people are now in the direction of Li Hongzhang, and the layout of the Qing court has not yet been laid out. We should take this opportunity to target the most powerful Chu army in the Qing army first, and then deal with the Huai army with British help later."
Wang Lei clappers decided.
After that, he glanced at the man who once came from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and laughed. "It’s time for the Chu army to fight with our’ Taiping Army’ for so many years."
The meeting room suddenly burst into laughter. Hong Renxuan laughed. "Haha, I have to beat them out of the water this time!"
Wang Lei seems that even if Lin Miaoshan took a large number of heavenly places to Europe to participate in the war and exercise, the three Qing troops are also native tile dogs. Although the British secretly helped, they were just as efficient as the mobilization in Manchu.
Twenty strong people in heaven are terrible, but Wang Lei has already dealt with the cards. For example, he himself is a strong person in heaven!
Chapter one hundred and seventy-five Destroy and destroy
A group of smuggling boats from Fuxing District entered Hankou along the Yangtze River waterway.
These smuggling ships have been running the Yangtze River waterway for many years in the past ten years and have been stationed in the local Qing court water army. They have already made friends with each other. On the "friendship" of these smuggling ships, the officers and men of the Qing court Yangtze River Water Defense Camp have made a fortune.
