Xu Haoran did not see Han Xiufeng, not only because Han Xiufeng didn't want to see him, but also because Han Xiufeng had already left Beijing.

This time I went to Tianjin, but outside the mouth.

Nanyuan was originally the place where the emperor parades and hunts. In the early years, there were many deer, hares, moxs, wild pheasants, and tigers. Now, there are no birds or animals in the garden.

So with the approval of the emperor, he led forty horses and eight banner vests and thirty river camp soldiers to catch some birds and beasts outside his mouth and returned to keep them in captivity. Otherwise, the emperor would not be able to find prey when he brought the little prince to Nanyuan to hunt in a few years.

It is indeed a bit inappropriate to do this job at this time, but no one can say anything. After all, riding and shooting is the foundation of the Eight Banners, not to mention that the officials of the Internal Affairs Office do these things.

As long as there is prey, hunting is not difficult, but it is not that easy to catch it alive. So I walked for more than three months and no one knew when I could come back.

In the past three months when he was not in the capital, many things happened in Liangjiang, Fujian and Zhejiang, Shandong and outside the pass.

First, the bandit general Li Xiucheng led his troops to capture Hangzhou, and Zhejiang Governor Luo Zundian and other officials died for their country, but the city guarded by Hangzhou General Ruichang was not captured by Changmao.

Just when the imperial envoy Hechun, who supervised the military affairs of Liangjiang, ordered Guangxi Admiral Zhang Yuliang to lead the officers and soldiers to help Hangzhou, Li Xiucheng actually planted flags in the city of Hangzhou as suspicious soldiers, retreated from Hangzhou overnight and rushed north.

They passed Lin'an, followed the Tianmu Mountain path through Xiaofeng, arrived in Guangde, and met with Yang Fuqing, Li Shixian, Liu Guanfang, Huang Wenjin, Wu Dingcai, Chen Kunshu and other thieves in a place called Jianping, and then divided the troops into Jiangning in the east and west directions!

Not only did the government army forcefully conquered tens of thousands of civilians, the depth and width excavated outside Jiangning City for several years, and the long trenches that were hundreds of miles long were destroyed in one fell swoop, but all the more than 50 camps in the western half of the Jiangnan Daying were destroyed, and even the Xiaoshuiguan Camp where the Chunshuichou was located was not spared.

Changmao captured countless cases, but did not give up. Then he led his troops to attack Su. Chang. The mighty general Zhang Guoliang fell into the river and drowned when he led the defeated troops to retreat east. He Chun fled to Hushu Pass and committed suicide. He Guiqing, the governor of Liangjiang, who was awarded the edict for "recovering Hangzhou" before, saw that Changmao was powerful, and most of the time, could not defend Changzhou. In order to escape, he ordered his personal soldiers to fire guns at the Changzhou gentry who begged him to leave him to stay!

More than a dozen gentry died, which aroused public anger. After finally fleeing to the city of Suzhou, Governor Xu Youren not only refused to allow him to enter the city, but also wanted to submit a memorial to impeach him for abandoning the city and losing his troops. Seeing that he could not enter the city, he was worried that he would be investigated by the court, so he actually fled to Shanghai and hid in the concession of foreigners.

Just when the Jiangnan government army was defeated, the British army broke into the area of ​​Luda. Together with the sand ships plundered along the way, there were more than 180 ships of all sizes, including more than 10,000 large and small ships, more than 10,000 artillery soldiers. They were stationed in Qingniwa, Xiaogushan, Dagushan and other places, and built more than 1,000 barracks.

Foreign soldiers burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. The people nearby helped the elderly and young, and left their homes to flee.

The deputy governor of Jinzhou, Shirab, was so scared that he quickly asked General Shengjing for help. As a result, General Shengjing Yuming tried every means to dispatch 500 troops from the provincial capital, 200 troops from Liaoyang, and 200 troops from Xiongyue City, and gathered together nine hundred troops from all over the world. He did not even dare to approach. In desperation, Shirab could only follow what Yuming said, "controlled with static."

As the French army received in the first month, as the British army arrived in the area of ​​Luda, they seized Zhifu without any shots and bullets. Thousands of soldiers set up camp at the foot of Yantai Mountain and sent translators to post notices for the people everywhere.

The Shandong Governor hurriedly appointed Dong Buyun, the governor of Qingzhou Prefecture, to persuade the French army to withdraw, but the French army ignored it. The Shandong Governor could only transfer the Qingzhou garrison 500 horse team to go to Laizhou area to "far away for support."

Let foreigners prepare under their noses, it cannot be blamed entirely on local officials, because Liangjiang was broken by long hair and all the land of wealth was lost. At this critical moment, the court did not dare or could not go to war with foreigners. He repeatedly ordered all localities to remain calm even if they had forging defenses, "to avoid suspicion of our equipment and causing trouble."

In fact, he did not catch any birds and animals. Instead, Han Xiufeng, who had been hiding in Gubeikou for three months, was also urgently ordered to return to Beijing as foreigners sharpened their knives.

After the past few months, Ronglu and Wang Qianli, who were really feeling like a building was about to fall, said anxiously as soon as they saw him: "The foreign soldiers were not allowed to start a war when they landed in Yamato Zhifu. Now the foreign soldiers are ready, and they are clamoring to start a war!"

"We don't have to decide whether to start a battle or not. If we have to decide, I will go to Gubeikou to play three-month chess with Qingxian?" Han Xiufeng jumped off the lane.

"But even if you start fighting, it's not like this. Fourth Master, the emperor may be able to listen to your words, otherwise you can also give me a comment."

“How did you arrange it now?”

"Senggelinqin won a lucky victory last year, but she was a little lost. She actually planned to abandon Beitang, saying that what foreigners rely on is the strength of the ship and the cannons. If they sacrifice themselves to land, abandon their strengths and use their weaknesses, it may be easier to control." Seeing Han Xiufeng thinking, Ronglu said anxiously: "Whatever Brother Bailing and I think it is inappropriate, so we let Xu Haoran make a note."

"I didn't expect that ungrateful villain was of some use." Han Xiufeng murmured.

"Even if you have a dog, you can still bite people. Besides, he is still a censor no matter what. But shortly after the memorandum was submitted, the emperor ordered the office to copy it to Senggelinqin, but it was rejected by Senggelinqin."

"What did you say?"

"Beitang Fort is firm in the cracks of rocks, and there are many cannons, and there are three thousand soldiers to guard it. If the rebels attack, although there is no certainty in whether they can defend it, there will be a fierce battle; if the rebels do not defend, the rebels can land calmly and attack our Xinhe River. Tang'er's side, the fort is attacked by the enemy from both sides, and he may easily fall into the enemy's hands!"

"How did Senggelinqin refute?" Han Xiufeng walked into the lobby and asked.

Rong Lu said angrily: "Senggelinqin not only reported that Xu Haoran was talking about military affairs on paper, but also said with striking sensation: "The Yi ship sailed into Beitang, so you might as well listen to its mooring. Once it landed, the horse soldiers would go to block the enemy to prevent attacking our rear. The Yi was not only losing the danger of the ship and cannon, but our soldiers could also use their strength to gallop, which was more confident than the Beitang defense."

While helping to make tea, Wang Qianli said helplessly: "After all, foreign soldiers are not good at land battles, and can deal with the siege and cavalry chase."

Han Xiufeng sat down, nodded slightly to Ren Yuer who had arrived after hearing the news, and then took the teacup and said, "It's actually all right to arrange Senggelinqin like this. Think about it, you have to fight with foreign artillery to guard the fort. The two sides of Haikou and Beitang artillery were combined to have a total of several artillery pieces. How many artillery pieces are there in the English and French navy? If we really fight against each other, we will be defeated but not defeated."

"But if the foreigner gets ashore, will his 'surrounding and chasing' be effective?"

"It doesn't work, but it's better than being on the verge of a dead end. At least in his opinion, there may be a glimmer of hope."

Wang Qianli felt that Han Xiufeng's words made some sense. Thinking of the news that Jixiang sent these days, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If you want to talk about war on paper, the lords in the court are called war on paper. Some say that the people along the coast are good in water, and that the people along the coast of Guangdong, Fujian and other provinces can walk on the water, and even lurk under the water for three or five days.

If Tianjin is said to be near the sea, Tianjin people should know this. They say that there must be brave men under the rewards, recruit more good water quality, so that they can carry awls to drill under the water and drill out the barbarian ships. They also swear to say that during the Daoguang period, this is what Guangdong relies on to win battles."

Han Xiufeng looked through the newspaper on the case and asked curiously: "What else?"

"Some people say that there should be more ambushing in the mainland. Foreigners are powerful cannons, but foreigners cannons can only be shot straight, not horizontally, so we can set up ambush deep in the dense forest or in the staggered areas of the shore. When the ranks of the ranks enter me, they will suddenly come out of the horizontal and cut off the ranks in half, so that the ranks of the ranks of the ranks cannot be taken care of, and the Western ranks of the cannons will be useless."

Speaking of this, Rong Lu couldn't help but say: "Even the governor of Henan, Qing Lian, urgently submitted a report of 600 miles, saying, "The barbarians traveled to the ocean and traveled back and forth in the year. They rely on ships and firearms to facilitate... If the land battle formation cannot resist our powerful army, they will never dare to go deeper after many years of trouble. They will also rebel against the barbarian guns and cannons, which are conducive to long-term attacks and infantry battles. If I choose the savage and convenient soldiers and bend over and rush in, and they will be invincible, they will definitely succeed'!"

"They have never seen foreigners in land battles, nor even foreigners." Han Xiufeng sighed lightly, threw down the diary and asked: "Have the troops of Britain and France clearly found out?"

"I've found it clear." Ronglu hurriedly found a letter and said, "The British land division includes the 55th Regiment, the 98th Regiment, the 37th Indian Infantry Regiment from Madras, and the 4th Infantry Regiment from India. This 4th Infantry Regiment was transferred from South China Sea. What other royal engineers, the 13th Royal Artillery Brigade, the 31st Legion, the 60th Rifle Team, the Guards Dragon Cavalry Regiment, the Fein Cavalry Regiment, the Patan Cavalry Regiment..."

Half of the infantry regiments, as early as when the "Houyi Hall" was not laid off, had their troops, weapons, and even their military pay supplies, so they had clearly found out.

Thinking that one is more difficult to deal with, Han Xiufeng's scalp was numb when he heard it. After a while, he looked up and said, "From today on, let's not inquire about the affairs of the court. There is no need to deliberately inquire about the war in Tianjin. As long as you can fight, you will stay in the camp. No one is allowed to leave the camp without my command."

"Affect the order."

Han Xiufeng took a deep breath and said, "The army was raised for a thousand days and used troops for a while. The brothers in the camp are now the Hemen Army, the Vest Gate Army stationed in the royal gardens. When the emperor uses us, our more than 600 soldiers will be the emperor's personal army.

Hurry up and buy more yellow silk and yellow cloth at the silk cloth shop, and let the women and children in the garden help make 650 yellow jackets and make more flags. In short, no matter what happens, no matter how critical the situation is, we cannot lose the royal dignity!"

Ronglu reacted: "It can also help the emperor stabilize the hearts of the army and the people and encourage the morale of the generals and soldiers."

"It's over here, so we can do so much. Come and prepare quickly."
