"I'm afraid so, Your Majesty." Huashan Ziji bowed his head.

At this time, Emperor Meiji was staring ahead, and the beard on his face showed his power even more.

"I deeply feel that a strong army is the foundation of a rich country, but for me, Japan is first of all a navy, and Japan can survive and develop by displaying the emperor's prestige at sea. Without the navy, there would be no Japan. Have you read the book of conquering the Qing Dynasty?"

"Yes." All the officials bowed their heads together.

"This plan is to make preparations for attacking the Qing Dynasty within five years. I will discuss with the Minister of the Navy and the General Staff to increase the navy's military expenditure. Within five years, the number of warships and firepower will surpass China, and we must surpass them. Emperor Meiji slammed his fist on the table, as if to strengthen his own resolve.

The Lion Awakens Chapter 68 Studying in Germany

After this head-to-head confrontation with the French Army, the masters of the Qing Army felt ashamed.I couldn't beat foreigners before, and I always said that the guy in my hand was bad.Now the guy in hand is finally equal to the French, but coordinated operations, individual combat, etc. are still not the opponents of the French.

These problems exposed on the battlefield cannot be solved in normal training, nor can they be solved by inviting a few German army instructors to come back to teach.Therefore, Guan Xuqing decided to send several generals who performed outstandingly in this battle to Germany for further study, and the semester would last for three years.

Wang Feng, misnamed Wang Crazy.Guan Xuqing's mind was deeply imprinted with the traits of a special soldier shown in the last fortress battle. I heard that he went to the enemy's position alone to grab guns before.No matter what the purpose is, but the quality shown in the battle is worthy of recognition, who will let such a talent go?

He was named by Guan Xuqing and sent to Germany to study special operations, and he became the originator of special forces in the Qing Dynasty.A special force under him swept the invincibles in Asia, of course, this is a later story.

Feng Xianghua, the second son of the old general Feng Zicai, was also selected by Guan Xuqing himself. How could such a handsome man with a strong will to fight and not be chaotic in the face of danger be allowed to be a battalion commander?Zuo Zongtang has long commented that he is a fierce general who has been rare in the Qing Dynasty for decades.But it just lacks some knowledge of military theory, but fortunately, it is still young.Sent to Germany for further study for three years, and can take Zuo Zongtang's class when he comes back.Guan Xuqing regards "Only soldiers who are not afraid of death are worthy of living." He regards it as a classic.So I especially admire Feng Xianghua.

Others such as: Fang Shizhen, Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, Zhang Xun, Cao Kun, Lu Rongting, Xu Shichang, Duan Zhigui and other famous generals in history are also on the recommendation list of the generals.At this time, they were still passionate young generals with the ideal of serving the country.Guan Xuqing couldn't help but sigh that time and power can change many things.

It's just that Guan Xuqing has been wondering, where did the notorious Yuan Shikai go in history?Why hasn't it come out yet?

There was only one person Guan Xuqing summoned alone, and that was Zhao Bingjun.The founder of the modern Chinese police system, Guan Xuqing, has always wanted to spread an accurate and covert intelligence network at home and even abroad, and it seems that he is the only one.

"Zhao Bingjun, I have removed you from the list of going to Germany to study the new army."

Zhao Bingjun seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and he didn't react at all.Guan Xuqing couldn't help but wondered: "Don't you want to know the reason?"

Zhao Bingjun still looked calm and said: "The emperor summoned the villain alone, he has deep meaning, how dare the villain speculate."

Guan Xuqing couldn't help showing a smile when he heard this, he now somewhat understood why Yuan Shikai was suspicious of everyone all his life, but he trusted Zhao Bingjun more.Seeing Zhao Bingjun's young and mature appearance, Fang Huai suddenly changed his mind, maybe this person in front of him can compete with stronger opponents in the future.

"Zhao Bingjun, I have changed my mind now. You should go to Germany, but you are different from them. You should study hard. Three years later, I will entrust you with a major task." Zhao Bingjun nodded without asking why. .

In the end, Guan Xuqing decided to send Zhao Bingjun to Germany to study as a scout, and the famous "Great Qing Demon Fox" started his first step in this way.

Sending away this group of young generals from the Qing Dynasty who went to study in Germany, these military backbones for decades after the Qing Dynasty, the national Dong Liang, and Guan Xuqing finally had one thing on their minds.

The next thing to do is to reorganize the issue of ownership of the Army and Vietnam's land.

"Wang Shang, go and call Prince Gong, Li Hongzhang, Prince Jin, Zuo Zongtang, Peng Yulin, Zhang Zhidong, Li Zhen, and Weng Tongsu all over here."

"Cha." Wang Shang withdrew and retreated.

After a while, all these people from the Military Aircraft Department arrived.During the Sino-French war, everyone was busy with their own affairs.Every time we discuss things, either one is missing or the other is missing, and now all of them are here.

"Your servants will kowtow to the emperor." Everyone fell to the ground and worshiped.

"Let's all be flat." Guan Xuqing said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone got up and stood with their hands down.

Guan Xuqing looked at everyone, waved his hands and said, "Everyone sit down and talk, Wang Shang will show you the seats."

After everyone sat down, Guan Xuqing continued: "Now that Vietnam has been recovered, let me see, what should I do with this fertile land?"

Li Hongzhang stood up first and said: "It should be returned to the king of Vietnam and continue to be the barrier of my southern gate of the Qing Dynasty. Pay tribute every year and come to court every year."

Guan Xuqing refused to answer, motioned him to sit down, and continued to ask: "Teacher Weng, tell me."

Weng Tongsu hurriedly stood up and said: "Vietnam is a subtropical region, which is famous for its agriculture. The local rice can be cooked three times a year. If it can be used for my Qing Dynasty, then the problem of food and clothing for the [-] million people of my Qing Dynasty will be solved." It can be basically solved.”

Guan Xuqing stared at Weng Tongsu with a smile and said: "However, my Qing Dynasty sent troops to Vietnam this time under the banner of aiding Vietnam to resist the French. It seems a bit unreasonable to hold on to the French army and not leave. "

Weng Tongsu said hastily: "The emperor is the sage king of the heavenly dynasty, so naturally he would not cut down the thousands of miles of wasteland in North Korea. But if the king of Joseon offered the land on his own initiative, if I, Qing Dynasty, did not accept it, it would be a loss of my greatness to be a great country in the heavenly dynasty."

Guan Xuqing could not have imagined that this literati, who was obsessed with studying, could also describe robbery as obedience and acceptance with reluctance.Immediately asked: "So, when will the King of Vietnam offer his land?"

Weng Tongsu replied: "Let this matter be handled by Prince Chun. Within three days, the king of Vietnam will be able to offer the country with both hands."

After the war between China and France, the king of Vietnam fled to Beijing long ago.Under the protection of Prince Jin, he has not dared to show his face until now.It was not until France signed a contract with the Qing Dynasty that it dared to make a show of it recently.

"Leave it to me at this time, I will be able to handle it properly." Prince Jin said.

"Well, let's do it this way." Guan Xuqing turned to Zuo Zongtang and said, "How is the recruitment and reorganization of the army going?"

"Returning to the emperor, the enthusiasm for joining the army is very high. There are also many generals who graduated from Lu University, and the reorganization of the army is very smooth. It's just..." Zuo Zongtang hesitated to speak.

"But what? Tell me directly." Guan Xuqing said impatiently.

Zuo Zongtang frowned and said, "Just let the Black Banner Army guard Vietnam. I really don't feel relieved, these rebels have lived in Vietnam all year round. Now let them station in Vietnam, I'm afraid..."

"Afraid of what? I have recruited them, and they will be treated the same as my Qing army. They will recruit recruits, send political commissars, and supervise the army. I don't believe that Liu Yongfu can do anything for me. Let them guard Vietnam in the future .” Guan Xuqing ordered.

"However, they are rebels after all. I'm afraid Vietnam has just left the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's den. The Black Banner Army is hard to protect..." Zuo Zongtang said worriedly.But Guan Xuqing interrupted him before he finished speaking, "There is nothing difficult to guarantee. I don't doubt the person I employ, and I don't doubt the person I suspect. It's decided like this."

"twitter."

Guan Xuqing stared at Zuo Zongtang who was bowing his head and looked at all the people present and said: "The Black Banner Army can defend Vietnam well for me, and I will provide them with delicious food and drink. If it is true as Zongtang said, I will be in Qing Dynasty." A million lions can kill him at any time."

Everyone could hear what Guan Xuqing said, but felt the cold wind blowing from behind, but was covered in cold sweat.Quickly replied: "The emperor is holy."

PS: There will be two changes a day starting tomorrow. Thank you for your support. . .

Lions Wake Chapter 69 Occupy Vietnam

The Black Banner Army stationed in Vietnam maintained the basic order in Vietnam, and the local French immigrants returned one after another.Many of them pooled money to request the escort of the Qing Navy. After all, they had to pass through the terrifying Strait of Malacca to return to France.Pirates are rampant there, why not pay some protection fees and let the Qing Dynasty send a few warships to escort it.After all, money is a good thing, but you have to live to enjoy it.

In this way, Master Daqingshui made a lot of money in the back and forth.

The King of Vietnam also lived in Prince Chun's Mansion for a period of time, and now seeing that Vietnam is relatively stable, he wants to return to Vietnam.

In Prince Jin's mansion, Prince Jin is eating under the service of several servants.I saw the king of Vietnam walking towards me as if taking a stroll in the courtyard, and said leisurely: "The king of Xia Kingdom, Ruan Zhiming, has met His Royal Highness Prince Chun."

When Prince Chun saw that it was Ruan Zhiming, he tapped Ruan Zhiming with his chopsticks, and then tapped the stool opposite him and said, "Come, come, let's eat together, Your Majesty." Then he turned around and said to the servant behind him: " Give Wang Shang a pair of bowls and chopsticks."

"Oh, no trouble, no trouble. Gu has already used it, and Prince Chun is slow to use it. Gu is just here to say goodbye!" Ruan Zhiming shook his hand hastily.

Prince Chun rolled his eyes and took a sip of wine.Slowly said: "Your Majesty thinks that this king is not greeting you well?"

"Where, where, Prince Jin's warm hospitality. I will always remember it in my heart, but the war in Annan is just extinguished, and a lot of waste is waiting to be done. I hope the prince will remember my love for my homeland and let me return to Annan as soon as possible. I, Annan, wish to be a vassal of the Shang Kingdom from generation to generation." , pay tribute every year, and come to court every year.”

Prince Chun watched the Vietnamese king spitting and talking, and his anger couldn't be calmed down.Said: "Huh, my Qing Dynasty killed and injured more than tens of thousands for your Annan? Dozens of naval warships were sunk. You Vietnamese are still helping the French to beat us? Let you go back, you want to reorganize Will the army come to clean up with me?"

After hearing this, Ruan Zhiming fell to the ground in fright, his face was pale, his hands kept shaking, and his head shook like a rattle.Hastily explained: "My lord, don't get me wrong. I, Annan, have fought against France for more than ten years. It is obvious to all. Some rebels followed the French devils to do evil. There are some. I will definitely wipe them out when I go back. Moon."
