Next, Liu Changyou endured and endured, and finally couldn't hold back, and wanted to ask a question he was most concerned about - this question, Guan Zhuofan was appointed governor of Jiangsu, when he went to Beijing to see His Majesty, and when he visited him on the way, he asked.

That was two and a half years ago.

"Excuse me, Lord Belle, are we now—I mean Xuan Jun now, can we meet with the French?"

Liu Changyou leaned forward slightly, staring at Guan Zhuofan, his eyes were shining, and his face was full of irrepressible longing.

Guan Zhuofan secretly praised in his heart, it is indeed Jiang Gui's nature, old and spicy!

He said calmly, "It's okay." ”

"Good!"

Liu Changyou slapped his thigh suddenly, and his face was already flushed.

However, he immediately realized that he had "lost his honor" in front of Shangguan, so he hurriedly stood up, bowed slightly, and said, "Changyou has lost his honor, Lord Belle forgives me." ”

Guan Zhuofan invited him to sit down and said: "Mo Gong is for the country and the people, and he has a heart of fist, which is really moving. ”

After a pause, he continued: "However, when I said 'yes,' I just said one thing — and another one. ”

Liu Changyou was stunned: "Oh? ”

"Mo Gong takes the old soldiers, and he knows that when he fights, he is actually paying for food and medicine. Let's not talk about him first, just talk about guns and guns - once China and France go to war, according to the public law of all nations, other countries must remain 'neutral'. Weapons cannot be supplied to the warring parties. France doesn't matter. People have made their own guns, guns, and medicines. There are many of them, and there is no end to them. We can't! At least, for three or five years, no. ”

"Once the battle is big and long, we will not be able to continue!"

Liu Changyou was shocked, conspired for a moment, and said: "Lord Belle is far-sighted! In this way, in the past three or five years. We need to stock up on guns and medicines to save up enough money for a big battle! ”

If it is Cixi in front of him, of course Guan Zhuofan wants to use this to talk about "industrialization", but for Liu Changyou, there is no need to talk about these useless things.

"Mo Gong knows the trick! Let's spend three or five years, not stopping a day, secretly fighting - we are in the dark, France is in the light, and when the time comes, we will be prepared to attack France. If you don't believe it, you can't wash away the shame of hard work! ”

"Good!" Liu Changyou almost slapped his thigh again, and his hand just raised. Shengsheng held back and clenched his fists.

"This is the second theory, I also have the third and fourth words, don't be presumptuous, just teach the Fang family."

"Please give Lord Belle a lecture."

"The third is the Navy."

Liu Changyou raised his eyebrows, leaned forward slightly again, and his face was extremely focused.

Guan Zhuofan said: "The prosperity of the French navy is seen by all countries, and only England surpasses it. If China and France provoke, the French will never only use troops on the border of China and Vietnam, but will definitely dispatch their navy to attack along the coast. If we can't come up with a decent naval response, we can only shrink our necks and stiffen up, even if we win by land, but the sea route is controlled by others, and the whole situation is best to be undefeated and undefeated. ”

Liu Changyou said with blazing eyes: "Lord Belle, I have been on the 'Champion' - I'm afraid, there is no such giant ship in France!" ”

Guan Zhuofan shook his head slightly and said: "A single tree can't make a forest, and a single tiger can't beat a pack of wolves." Besides, our coast is so long, thousands of miles from north to south, it is not easy to take care of both the end and the end. ”

Liu Changyou showed an anxious look on his face: "That ......"

Guan Zhuofan smiled slightly and said, "However, our navy has already started!" And ......"

After a pause, he said: "A batch of ships we ordered in Britain have left the port of Portsmouth and are heading for China. When these ships arrive, the 'Champion' and 'Shot' will have company, and our first serious fleet will be ready to become an army! ”

"Good!"

Liu Changyou didn't hold back in the end, patted his thigh lightly, and then smiled: "Alas, Lord Belle is talking and rubbing people around, it's really ......."

You have to continue to "rub around".

"It's just that 'forming an army' is 'becoming an army', but the navy is different from the army, within a year or two, it will not be able to form combat power, and under normal circumstances, it will take at least five years before it can come in handy at the beginning - it is only at the beginning! We couldn't wait any longer, so we had to work day and night, breaking one day into two days. ”

Liu Changyou was slightly depressed, but hesitated slightly, and then said in high spirits: "Okay, let's work day and night to catch up with this work!" ”

After pondering for a while, he asked: "These 'three or five years', 'five years', Lord Belle has said more than once, Changyou takes the liberty to ask, is there anything special about this?" ”

Guan Zhuofan nodded and said, "Yes!" That's the fourth thing I'm going to say – timing. ”

A sinister smile appeared on his face: "In the past, I always conspired with outsiders, but this time, I am going to fall down!" ”

Today's military aircraft "called", the guards were particularly tight, all the eunuchs were sent out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and no one was allowed to stand under the corridor, including the guards.

This is because the matters to be discussed today are not only important, but also confidential, and not a single word can be leaked.

"The former son Weng Tongyi 'entered the talk'," Cixi said lightly, "I told our sisters such a sentence, saying that it is in the Book of Changes, called 'The king does not lose his ministers, the ministers do not lose his body, and the machine is not secret, it will be harmful' - "I Ching" Our sisters and sons do not understand, but this sentence can still be understood, well, and I encourage you." ”

The calm tone, the soft tone, but with a huge coercion, even Guan Zhuofan, couldn't help but bow his head.

"Yes, the ministers are respectful!"

The six big military planes responded in unison.

Cixi said: "After the military plane is 'called', it will be the turn of His Majesty Liu Changyou to see it, and the matter in the south has to be discussed." ”

This time, it was Guan Zhuofan who responded: "Yes!" ”

"Well, the entanglement between Vietnam and France, our sisters don't know much about it, let's talk about the ins and outs."

said it was "you", but the one who answered the first was naturally the foreman of the military aircraft.

Guan Zhuofan coughed lightly and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, Vietnam and France were entangled together as early as the Qianlong Dynasty. At that time, Vietnam was rebellious and rebellious, and the lord of the country went hunting. He was destitute and had a whimsical idea, and sent a French missionary with his crown prince to Paris, the capital of France, to meet the king of France and ask France to send troops to help him restore the throne. ”

"The two sides signed a Treaty of Versailles, and it was agreed that after the matter was completed, Vietnam would be rewarded for breaking the ground."

"That was about fifty years or so of Qianlong."

Cixi's brows furrowed: Isn't this Vietnam a vassal of the Qing Dynasty? There was chaos in the country, why didn't you come to ask the Celestial Empire to be the master, but instead ran to hook up with Yangyi?

After enduring it, another question came out: "Well, did France send troops?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, the contract was signed, but at that time, the French court was financially tight and crumbling, where could I free up troops to Vietnam? However, the French missionary helped Vietnam, recruited a group of French soldiers, trained soldiers for the Vietnamese lord, bought a batch of French munitions, and ...... Warship. ”

Cixi's eyebrows raised: "Are you saying that when Qianlong was fifty years old, Vietnam began to ...... 'Western French military training'?" And, there is already ...... Western-style ships? ”

"Yes, Queen Mother Shengming."

Cixi and Ci'an glanced at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

In addition to Guan Zhuofan, the other five military ministers couldn't help but have a strange feeling in their hearts.

Well, there should be a strange feeling. It has been several years since Vietnam's "Western French military training", and our Qianlong Ye is still worried about the refusal of the English barbarian named Magalny to bow down on both knees.

"The Vietnamese lord relied on this army of 'Western French training', not only quelled the rebellion and re-ascended the throne, but also unified the entire territory of Vietnam, called the imperial system, and the country was named 'South Vietnam'. He went to the Celestial Empire and asked for canonization. Well, that was the eighth year of Jiaqing. ”

"It's okay to be canonized, but it's not okay to be called 'South Vietnam', Emperor Ren Zongrui named him 'King of Vietnam', and the country name of 'Vietnam' has been called since then."

"Later, they changed their name to 'Da Nan', but according to the old custom, we still call him 'Vietnam'."

At this time, the Empress Dowager spoke, and she asked curiously, "Why can't it be called 'South Vietnam'?" ”
