Chapter 135: The Storm Changes

"Lafayette, great joy! Great joy! Prince Gong Yixin came to Chuxiu Palace with a smile on his face and reported the good news to the Empress Dowager Cixi.

"Sixth, what are you so happy about? Have you found a few hundred taels of silver? The Empress Dowager Cixi was very puzzled when she saw Prince Gong's old face smiling like a chrysanthemum. It stands to reason that although Prince Gong is not a particularly strict person in ordinary times, as the minister of the military aircraft foreman of the Qing Dynasty, he is also a person who is not angry.

"Haha, Lafayette laughed, this happy event is more joyful than the minions picking up the silver!" Yi Xin said very excitedly. During this period of time, the Westernization Movement of the Qing Dynasty has been fully rolled out, and a large amount of foreign capital has poured in, which has made the Qing Dynasty's industry develop rapidly, especially the extractive industry, which has developed particularly rapidly. Although a lot of resources were paid, the financial income of the Qing Dynasty continued to rise, which made Prince Gong Yixin, who was in charge of foreign affairs, very happy.

"What the hell is going on? Don't sell it! "The Empress Dowager Cixi is also in a good mood.

"Galeries Lafayette. Fights began. Kawanishi and foreigners are fighting! Prince Gong said with a smile.

"What? Kawanishi and foreigners fought? Which country? Where did the fight start? Empress Dowager Cixi hurriedly asked. Last year, the war in western Sichuan of the Qing Dynasty made the Qing Dynasty almost bankrupt. If Kawanishi can be taught a lesson by foreigners, it can also relieve the anger in his heart.

"Lafayette, this time Sichuan West can be regarded as kicking the iron plate. They actually fought with the British Empire in Cuona County, Shannan Region. I, Wang Xiao, that guy is old and confused, thinking that if he wins our Qing Dynasty, he will be invincible in the world. Who was the British Empire? That's the most powerful country in the world! Isn't going to war with the British Empire looking for death? Prince Gong Yixin said with a smile. He seems to have reached the point where the western Sichuan army was defeated by the British army, and even the British destroyed the western Sichuan in one fell swoop, so that they would be able to pick up the cheapest in the Qing Dynasty.

"War with the British? Then this time Kawanishi is lost. Where is the Shannan area? What is Cuona County? Xiao Lizi, you go and bring the Kunyu Wanguo Map, and Prince Gong will point out to the mourning family! The Empress Dowager Cixi had a smile on her face. all these years. The Qing Dynasty suffered a lot of losses at the hands of western Sichuan. If the British could destroy the western part of the country, they would be all happy.

Soon, Li Lianying took out a world map. Prince Gong Yixin fortunately had already learned the location of Cuona County before he came, otherwise he really didn't know where such a small place was.

"Lafayette, this is Cuona County, next to Bhutan, a vassal of the former Qing Dynasty. But. With the decline of the Qing Dynasty, it has now been occupied by the British! Prince Gong Yixin explained.

"Western Sichuan is fighting for the British for such a small place? Do not hesitate to offend the world's number one power? Yi Ai's family, the people in western Sichuan are all short-sighted, and they don't have a big picture at all. So where the birds don't poop, if you lose it, you lose it. War with the British. If you lose, isn't that a bigger loss? This step, the mourning family Chuanxi is completely wrong! The Empress Dowager Cixi said very proudly.

"Yes! Lafayette is wise, and the gangs of rat-eyed bandits in western Sichuan can not be compared with Lafayette. I heard that Wang Xiao is seriously ill and can no longer serve as a director. Now the affairs of western Sichuan are handled by Wang Yuze's kid. However, he doesn't seem to be sophisticated enough! If he leads the western part of Sichuan, then I will have no worries in the Qing Dynasty! Prince Gong Yixin said with a smile. Before they come. Territory and the like don't matter at all. Otherwise, they wouldn't have given up millions of square kilometers of land to the north. Even though those lands were bitterly cold, they didn't know that there was a great deal of wealth buried beneath them. It is no wonder that some people in later generations will say that the richest place in China is not the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Plain, which is known as the lower reaches of Suzhou and Hangzhou, but the area north of the Great Xing'an Mountains, which has been lost. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia survived the most difficult period by selling the resources of these places!

"Hit, hit! The more fierce they beat, the happier the mourning family became! Empress Dowager Cixi said with a smile. Kawanishi fought with the British. Whether it is won or lost, it is estimated that there will be no time to bully the Qing Dynasty for a while. She was finally able to live a few more days in peace.

"Galeries Lafayette, this is the case. Does Yuying's girl still want to get married? Prince Gong Yixin asked. Marrying Yuying to western Sichuan was originally intended to envelop western Sichuan. If Kawanishi had lost the battle and had even been destroyed by the British, then it would not seem necessary!

The Empress Dowager Cixi hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Drag, ignore the request of western Sichuan, just say that Yuying's girl is sick, and she will marry after she recovers from her illness." Her meaning is also very obvious, although he thinks that it is impossible for Kawanishi to win. But what if Kawanishi really wins? That's good to make up for it! If you say no more, it won't end well.

"Yes, Lafayette, the slave knows!" Prince Gong Yixin said with a smile.

The news of the war between Kawanishi and Britain soon spread around the world. On the one hand, the great powers admired Kawanishi's courage, and on the other hand, they also laughed at Kawanishi's ignorance. The strength of the British Empire is the best in the world. Even though Britain's strength has begun to decline, it is still the world's number one. Almost all the great powers believed that this time the western Sichuan was dangerous. Western Sichuan won the battle against the Manchus, but the great powers were not the ineffective armies of the Manchus, and Western Sichuan was destined to be bloodied under the hands of the British ** team. Even Germany, which is friendly with Kawanishi, is not good with Kawanishi.

Little Japan, an island nation in the east, was even more elated after learning about the war between Western Sichuan and the British. After the rise of western Sichuan, Japan has always regarded western Sichuan as a potential threat, and even did not hesitate to plan the assassination of Wang Yuze. However, they still could not stop the progress of Kawanishi. This has always been a source of great horror in Japan. And now it's okay, Kawanishi actually got involved with the British, and when they came, Kawanishi was doomed. And they finally don't have to worry about the threat that Kawanishi threatens them.

Jingshi, located in the Dingwang Mansion of Gangwa City, Xisi South Street, after the conflict broke out between western Sichuan and the United Kingdom, the originally lively Dingwang Mansion quickly deserted. These people originally thought that the Dingwang Mansion had climbed a high branch and rushed to slap them. But now, Kawanishi and Britain are fighting, and suddenly I think that Kawanishi is going to be finished. Now that the palace is settled, there is still a fart! The palace has become gloomy and bleak because of this.

"Alas! How could the British fight in western Sichuan? I think that the British defeated the Qing Dynasty with thousands of troops at the beginning, and they had no power to fight back! Kawanishi and the British fought, isn't that asking for their own hardship? Dingjun Wang Puxu sighed and said. Seeing that they were about to turn over as the deputy king of Dingjun, he didn't expect such a thing to happen again at this critical juncture, which made him very depressed.

"Lord Wang, don't think about it too much. Isn't Yuying still married? Even if Kawanishi is defeated, it has nothing to do with us. I kind of understand, Lafayette is dissatisfied with Sichuanxi! Otherwise, the marriage would not have been postponed repeatedly. Dingjun Wang's Fujin Ma Jia said. Compared with Puxu, the king of Dingjun, she hopes that her daughter will not marry so far.

"Humph! Woman's view! Why did we have such a scenery in Dingjun Wangfu some time ago? It's not Sichuan West. If the western Sichuan fails, then our Dingjun Wangfu will always be a marginal figure in the clan. I've had enough of these days! Hopefully, Kawanishi will be able to survive this catastrophe! "Pu Xu can only ask the Bodhisattva to bless Sichuan West now.

It seems that both the Manchus and the great powers have forgotten the most important point. Although Kawanishi had already clashed with Britain on the border, the two sides did not declare war on it. The top brass on both sides seem to have selectively ignored this matter.

In fact, neither Kawanishi nor Britain wants to fight a big war. Western Sichuan did not have the strength to start a full-scale war with Britain, and Britain did not want to invest its already limited strength in the Far East. If a major war broke out in the Far East and Western Sichuan, the British would inevitably be strained in their military strength, and the colonial system they had worked so hard to achieve might even collapse. Therefore, both Kawanishi and Britain tacitly ignored the matter. However, they are also secretly observing the development of the war, and what kind of benefits can be obtained in the end depends on whether the soldiers on both sides can gain an advantage on the battlefield. Both Western Sichuan and Britain have strong confidence in their own troops. Although the Anglo-Indian army was a colonial army, and most of them were indigenous to India, the British believed that there would be no problem in defeating the British in western Sichuan.

At the beginning of April, Wang Yuze entered the plateau. He first sent people to Qamdo to give an order, telling all the members of the 7th Brigade to march towards Cuona County. After arriving in Lhasa, he ordered the Eighth Brigade and the Ninth Brigade stationed in Shigatse to march toward Tsona. Before he arrived in Lhasa, the commander of the Eighth Brigade, Su Hongguang, and the chief of staff, Liao Jinpeng, had already led the main force of the Eighth Brigade to Cuona County. In Lhasa, only the deputy brigade commander Peng Jitong and a battalion of troops were left.

In Lhasa, Wang Yuze also obtained the latest information on the battlefield. After receiving the order from the General Staff Headquarters, the 8th Brigade immediately sent reinforcements to Cuona. However, before reinforcements arrived, the British and Indian troops mobilized tens of thousands of men to launch a large-scale attack. The 4th Battalion of the 8th Brigade, which was stationed at the border, lost more than half of its strength after a bitter battle and had to retreat to Marat, five kilometers behind. The previously garrisoned Mount Volt had been occupied by the Anglo-Indian army. Moreover, for this operation, the British and Indian troops have concentrated a huge force of more than 30,000 people in the border area. However, most of them were indigenous Indian troops, and the British native army had only one brigade, more than 5,000 men.
