The Counterattack of the Villains in the Movie World

Chapter 274 Twenty thousand versus one million?

"Most ambitious man in the world? Fart."

Curly Fu was in London, when he saw the pre-war declaration in the newspaper for the first time, he cursed directly: "This John Watson is farting, is he an idiot? He has never met His Majesty, how can he say so arbitrarily Will His Majesty start a war? Obviously they are going to start a war, okay?"

It has been half a year since he returned to England. After he became the Chief Magic Advisor of the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Ming Empire, he was sent back by Wu Yan.

It is precisely because of this that he trusts Wu Yan more, thinking that Wu Yan cannot be a tyrant who wants to rule the world.

So after seeing the news in the London newspaper, his anger even surpassed the two guards beside him.

And these two guards are from Huaxia, from the Ming Empire, and from Wu Yan.

One can imagine how loyal Juan Fu is to Wu Yan now.

"Juanfu, I want to go back, I want to pass the news back."

After one of the guards finished speaking, he turned around and left without hesitation. Although he knew that this kind of thing was in the newspapers, it would be a matter of time before the Ming Empire got the news.

But he hoped to send the news back as soon as possible so that the Ming Empire could prepare for the battle.

"it is good."

Juan Fu didn't stop him, took a deep breath and said, "You have to be careful."

The guard waved his hand, and the figure disappeared.

The other guard who stayed behind didn't mean to worry at all, because he knew how good his companion's martial arts were, and he also had the identity that Juan Fu helped them get. There will be no surprises.

"I can't go back yet." Juan Fu said: "The twelve most powerful magicians in my family are still under the control of the royal family. They are studying a super-large forbidden spell. I have to find out. What kind of magic are they researching, and when they succeed, they will pass the news back to His Majesty."

The guard who stayed behind nodded and said: "I know, if you need to use me, just say it, for Your Majesty, for the sake of peace, I am not afraid of death."

In fact, the guard just wanted to say that he was not afraid of death for His Majesty, but Huatong had explained it when he came, so he added this sentence.

The young Juan Fu was still very naive, and he was completely impressed by Wu Yan's personality before, so he believed in the guard's words.

In his opinion, it is normal for His Majesty to think of peace, and it is normal for His Majesty's men to think of peace. At this time, His Majesty's men are all thinking of peace and are even willing to die for peace. .

Let's prove each other.

"Okay, let's work together, for His Majesty, for world peace."

When Juanfu, a British nobleman and magician, was willing to be an undercover agent, the coalition forces of various countries were getting closer and closer to Huaxia.

And the [-] white horse sharp guns sold by the United States to the Qing court were delivered to the Qing court without any money from the Qing court.

They were not afraid that the Qing court would not give money, because they signed a treaty stamped with the Great Qing Seal, which was witnessed by Britain, the Ottoman Empire, and Tsarist Russia at that time.

They are not afraid that the Qing court will lose this time, because no matter how you look at it, the Ming Empire will lose this time.

The million-dollar coalition army is really not a joke, it is really a sea of ​​people standing together.

And it's completely different from the previous times when the coalition forces of various countries faced the Ming army, they were defeated twice. This time, they also have the white horse sharp gun.

The Qing court will surely win, but the Qing court does not have the strength to renege on their debts, so they dare not accept a penny, so they sell the gun to the Qing court.

Not only the white horse gun, but also some other armaments were also sold to the Qing court at a high price.

If they didn't know that the Qing court would be destroyed if they couldn't get through this time, they would also be afraid that they would not be able to receive money and other resources because of the Qing court's "non-counter-offer".

"Why did you give the gun to Sheng Bao and Lei Yicheng?"

When Seng Gelinqin asked this sentence, his expression seemed to be asking: Why did Your Majesty rebel?

Emperor Xianfeng had a sincere expression on his face, and said: "This battle is related to the fate of my Qing Dynasty. No, it can even be said to be a critical moment of life and death. We have to make more plans. Give the gun to Shengbao and Lei Yicheng, let them be cannon fodder, consume the power of Ming Dynasty, and preserve the 30 troops you commanded and are most loyal to our Qing Dynasty. As long as you and your 30 troops are still there, the places north of the Yangtze River will still be will have to accept our rule."

Seng Gelinqin began to think seriously, his eyes gradually brightened, and said: "Yes, we must preserve the power that belongs to our Qing Dynasty. Shengbao and Lei Yicheng can be used as cannon fodder. The coalition forces, they are also uneasy and kind, if they easily destroy Da Ming, then they may come directly to attack us, we must reserve enough vitality to guard against them."

Yo, draw inferences about other cases from one instance.

Emperor Xianfeng nodded and said: "Yes, according to the previous contract, we must dispatch 20 troops as the vanguard, and then they will really participate in the battle. But as long as we dispatch 20 troops, will they definitely participate in the battle? No, if our army is about to collapse, they may be afraid of the strength of the Ming army, and have other ideas, such as uniting with the Ming to destroy our Qing. Therefore, to increase the strength of Lei Yicheng and Shengbao, It is also something that must be done.”

Seng Gelinqin had completely figured it out now, and couldn't help but be delighted by Emperor Xianfeng's wisdom.

"Your Majesty is holy." Seng Gelinqin said, "With these 20 white horse sharp guns, plus the muskets that were eliminated before and the extra muskets from disarmament, the [-] army of Sheng Bao and Lei Yicheng is the entire army. Equipped with muskets, it will definitely damage the Ming army a lot."

Emperor Xianfeng took a deep breath and said: "More than that, in order to let the coalition forces know my Qing's determination, and to revive the morale of my Qing army, this time, I want to conquer personally."

"?"

Seng Gelinqin's first reaction was to dissuade him, saying: "Your Majesty, absolutely not, then Zhao Wou-ki has the power to slay a general and capture the flag among thousands of troops, if His Majesty wants to personally conquer, then..."

Emperor Xianfeng asked: "Do you think it is safer to be among millions of troops, or within this palace?"

Seng Gelinqin was silent.

In fact, in the past two or three years, he often had nightmares and was frightened awake. The content of the nightmares was either that he was rushed to the capital and killed by Wu Yan, or that Emperor Xianfeng was killed by Wu Yan rushed to the Forbidden City.

"I heard that Zao Wou-ki can resist the muskets of the past, but he can't withstand the damage of the white horse sharp gun." Emperor Xianfeng said: "In this case, I am safe in the army, and it is impossible for Zhao Wuji to be with you." With the White Horse Sharpshooter, I can still charge alone like before."

It seems to be the case.

"Moreover, if I appear on the battlefield, the coalition forces of various countries will participate in the war more attentively, because then, you will have a better reason not to go to the front line, because you want to protect me. Seng Gelinqin, do you understand?"

"Understood, I really understand."

When Seng Gelinqin understood, Daming also received the news.

Moreover, the news was not banned, it was made public directly.

The five countries have joined forces with a total of one million troops, including the western powers and the powerful Tsarist Russia in the north. Even Wu Yan has always been invincible, but this time it made people in the Ming Empire panic.

Especially the city of Nanjing and Tokyo, which were the first to get the news and were most closely related to the Great Ming Dynasty.

As for other cities, even if the Ming Dynasty is subjugated, as long as they surrender directly when the army arrives, they will basically be able to get through it safely.

But for the people in Nanjing City and Tokyo City, they actually do not have the right to surrender, because these are the two core cities of the Ming Empire, and the power and strength to surrender are in the hands of those who cannot surrender.

The fate of not surrendering...

"Master Zheng." Wu Yan looked at the Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice of the Ming Empire with a smile in the imperial study, still using the original address, and said: "I see that the resentment on your body is getting heavier and heavier. When you sleep at night , is there any grieving ghost who came to ask for your life?"

Master Zheng was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, even if there are grudges who come to me, as long as they are disloyal and disrespectful to His Majesty, I will kill them all."

Wu Yan nodded in satisfaction, and said, "As long as you still have this intention, remember, don't let anyone who should be killed be spared."

Master Zheng bowed to his orders.

People in Nanjing City and Tokyo City are in panic, so naturally some people will have some ideas that Wu Yan doesn't like, and they will even put them into action.

At this time, Wu Yan did not come forward to stabilize the two cities, because it does not make any sense for him to come forward to stabilize the two cities.

Unless he is willing to perform soaring in front of everyone.

But he didn't want to perform this trick, he wanted to use this opportunity to wipe out some potential threats that would not be easily revealed.

This kind of dirty and tiring work is naturally left to Mr. Zheng, and there is no need to worry about any troubles if there are people in the same class to help.

"Okay, you go down first, you can't express any useful opinions on the next thing to be discussed."

Wu Yan waved his hand, and Master Zheng resigned without any dissatisfaction.

Because Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, Shi Dakai, Zuo Zongtang, Gongsun Zan and others who stayed in the imperial study looked at him with mixed emotions of envy and fear.

The envy is because he has Wu Yan's absolute trust, and the fear is naturally because Master Zheng's Ministry of Punishment controls an institution similar to the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, Huatong also holds a secret force in its hands, similar to the combination of the East Factory and the West Factory in the Ming Dynasty.

And Huatong also has Wu Yan's trust and is also loyal to Wu Yan.

"Li Hongzhang, what does your Pacific Fleet say?"

Wu Yan didn't arrange directly, but asked.

Li Hongzhang replied: "Your Majesty, I can only dispatch one aircraft carrier and four battleships here. However, I do not recommend dispatching an aircraft carrier because there are too many enemy warships. If it is only at sea, although I am willing to die for Your Majesty, I don't want His Majesty's fleet to be defeated before it can be accomplished."

In the absence of fighter jets, an aircraft carrier equipped with four battleships is indeed a target at sea.

But Wu Yan never thought of using the aircraft carrier formation at this time.

"Did you hear that?" Wu Yan looked at Shi Dakai and the others, and said, "The navy will not have real combat power until at least three to five years after it was first established, so I will force them to fight on land for this battle, and we must Let them confront me head-on."

Zeng Guofan heard Wu Yan's subtext, and asked, "Your Majesty wants to personally conquer?"

Wu Yan nodded, and said: "Yes, you don't need to persuade me, I know what's in my heart, you all tell me, is there any way to make them fight me head-on?"

Fighting a war is not about treating guests to dinner. If you say that you are treating others, they all rush to the hotel.

In addition to the 50 troops of the Qing court that Wu Yan could control, it is very difficult for the 40 troops of the coalition forces to rush to land and confront Wu Yan's Ming army head-on.

And as long as the opponent divides their forces, they will fall into a passive position. It's not that they can't win, but that the prosperous Tokyo and Nanjing cities will be destroyed by the enemy.

Including shipyards and military factories, they will also be the main targets of the coalition forces.

The loss of the factory is a trivial matter, but if there are casualties of those carefully trained workers and the equipment manufactured with a lot of resources, or if people are captured or the equipment is looted, it will be the biggest loss for the Ming Dynasty.

The important ministers discussed for a while, and finally came to a conclusion.

"Your Majesty, the current combat strength that our army can mobilize is only 10 from the Vanguard Army, 5 from the Pingbei Army, and 2 from the Royal Guards. But the enemy has millions of troops, and the white horse gun is no longer our army's advantage."

"Therefore, we should defend and not attack. The main force must be concentrated on the front lines of Nanjing City and Tokyo City. As long as they come to attack the city, we can annihilate their main force, and then pursue and destroy them. There is no need to worry about the enemy's encirclement but not attack. Ting’s inability to afford the supplies of millions of troops is one reason, and the other reason is that as long as they dare to besiege the city, we can penetrate them.”

Hearing this is the most normal and safest way, Wu Yan sighed.

Sure enough, there is no absolute strategy of war.

And after the White Horse Gun was sold, the Ming Empire, which had an industrial production line, was no longer equipped with muskets only for the No. [-] Scholar Battalion, and Baima Yicong was equipped with the White Horse Gun.

The 20 elite army of the Ming Empire has already been equipped with white horse sharp guns, so the Zhuangyuan Battalion no longer disperses the various armies to act as musketeers, but regroups, together with Baima Yicong, to form a 2 royal guard The army was trained by Gongsun Zan in accordance with modern military training methods.

After pondering for a while, Wu Yan said: "Shi Dakai, when your vanguard army is transferred to Tokyo, you must guard my shipyard. Zuo Zongtang, when your Pingbei army is transferred to Nanjing, you must guard my military factory. The rest Several armies have also coordinated and mobilized to defend the line from Tokyo City to Nanjing City. Gongsun Zan, gather the guards and prepare to march with me."

Zeng Guofan was the first to stop him: "Your Majesty, absolutely not, if you bring only [-] guards, the enemy coalition forces will definitely mobilize the main force to pursue Your Majesty. A [-] army besieged, that's..."

Shi Dakai, Zuo Zongtang, Li Hongzhang and others also persuaded with shocked faces, only Gongsun Zan said excitedly: "Your Majesty, I take orders."

"you!"

"Gongsun Zan!"

"You want to kill His Majesty?"

All the ministers were angry, and they all pointed at Gongsun Zan.

"You don't know how strong I am, and you don't know how strong my royal guard is." Wu Yan said, "I've made up my mind, so don't persuade me any more."

Zeng Guofan still refused, and knelt down with the others, and said in a crying voice: "No matter how strong your majesty is, no matter how strong the guards are, there are only 2 people, and the coalition army has millions of people. The main force has hundreds of thousands, and your majesty has a body of ten thousand gold..."

"Okay." Wu Yan waved his hand and said, "Gongsun Zan, lead them to your guards and show them the weapons."

Zeng Guofan and others were stunned, what do you mean?
Is it possible to go and see, 2 people can beat 100 million people?

After Gongsun Zan accepted the order, he added, "Your Majesty, it's not the subject's bodyguard, but your royal bodyguard."
