.Lin Haifeng's wishful thinking was so loud that it was completely inseparable from the close cooperation of the Qing Dynasty's puppet court headed by Empress Dowager Cixi, who now ruled behind the curtain, King Yixin of the Political Consultative Affairs, their general counsel Putiyatin, Ignatiev, the Minister of Tsarist Russia to China, and Muravyov, the Earl of Chief of the Tsarist Russian Expeditionary Army to China.

According to Cixi's intention, foreigners came, and the loyal and righteous national salvation army began to exist. They spent all the money they should spend, and they spent some money. She was worried about her 20th birthday next year. This is the case, so she should immediately scatter the bandits on the north bank of the Yangtze River and quickly kill the river. As long as there is a chance in Jinling, the task will be completed. As for Shanghai, it will be just a natural thing in the future.

Putiyatin spent a lot of talk to the map before the noble Empress Dowager made it clear that things were not so simple. The rebels in Jiangbei should be wiped out or driven back to Jiangnan as soon as possible, but it would take a while to kill the river. Not to mention how strong the rebels are on the fortresses along the Yangtze River, thousands of warships drifting on the Yangtze River alone are difficult to deal with when we do not have sufficient sailor construction. What's more, once the actual interests of Britain, the United States, France and other countries in Jiangnan are threatened, they will not sit idly by. Now the French are completely on the side of the rebels. The Americans and British people still maintain their relationship with our Qing Dynasty on the surface, but in fact they tend to tend to strengthen the Huai River and the Yellow River defense line first, and then retreat south, striving to use the Yangtze River as the dividing line with the rebels within the year, and temporarily cultivate for a few years.

Of course, in the past few years of cultivation, we can vigorously develop the national strength of the Qing Dynasty, build a navy and inland river naval division, and expand our troops. Once the time comes, the Jiangnan region will naturally be determined.

What Putiyatin said was half true and half false. The British and Americans and Tsarist Russian officials in China had a careful private analysis. The Americans were unreliable, and they only made profits. Although the British now appear to be showing weakness with the Tianjing regime, they were forced to do so. They were allies who firmly opposed the Tianjing regime. However, this ally was too greedy and always wanted to take a greater advantage than others. For the interests of the Tsar, Putiyatin had to block the British power in this Qing Dynasty.

Outside the door. So, although they can temporarily give up the feud between the two sides in the Near East and fight with the British in private to obtain the "precious" information they need. But in Beijing, no matter any occasion or opportunity, he would advise his "students" of the Qing Dynasty to avoid fighting with the British, and they would not vomit bones if they eat people. Of course, he would never tell Cixi and others that on another battlefield, they and the British were killing each other and bleeding.

Another point, Putiyatin won't say anything. The Tsarist government had a secret plan, hoping that after completely regaining the area north of the Yangtze River, it would persuade the Qing government in the north to sit down with the rebels in the south to negotiate and rule. It would not help the Qing Dynasty to unify the world too early. Even if the empire could stop the fierce war in the Near East soon, it would be a great loss. In the future struggle for power, it would inevitably be defeated by those evil wolves such as the British and Americans. In any case, the longer the civil war in China lasted, the greater the benefits the empire would gain in the end.

Cixi couldn't understand the map and had no intention of reading it. The vast Qing Dynasty territory was drummed on a small piece of paper, and she felt frustrated when she looked at her. However, she really listened to the truth about Putiyatin. Foreigners are good, and they say everything they say is wise and sensible. Moreover, this consultant is different from others. Every now and then, she always brings herself some fresh Russian things. There are villains coming out to sound the gilded bells for dancing, and countless music boxes that can be opened to open the cover book and sing. Moreover, the perfume given to her by Putiyatin is better, and it smells so refreshing and intoxicating. She used to read these foreigners like Mans books, and after contacting them, it was not the case. Look at others, although they were unwilling to bow three times and knock nine times, they seemed more gentle and well-educated than those officials in the court who would bow three times and bow three times and bow three times and bow nine times.

Cixi not only liked all Putiyatin's suggestions, but also didn't know when she started to fall in love with Putiyatin. Whenever she saw him, she would feel a youthful restlessness, her face would unconsciously have a fever, and her heart would be beating violently. Putiyatin seemed to be more happy than her uncle Prince Shugong.

As soon as the Empress Dowager, who had the power to monopolize, agreed, the entire Qing Dynasty strategy was determined. This was the reason why the first loyal and righteous national rescue army entered Xuzhou instead of other places.

Since the second year of Jianyan in the Southern Song Dynasty, in order to defend against the Jin army's southward, the Tokyo garrison Du Chong, a defender in Huazhou, broke the Yellow River embankment, causing the Yellow River to divert its route, and went south from Sishui and Ji River to the sea to the south. The Yellow River then changed from the north to the Bohai Sea to the south to the Yellow Sea. Before 1855, the Yellow River mainly swung in the south. Although there was a north rush, it was forcibly blocked by manpower. During the south rushing to capture the Huai River and the main stream of the Yellow River above the Qingkou River also migrated uncertainly. From Sishui, Bian River or Wo Water to the Huai River, or from Ying River to the Huai River, or several branches to enter the Huai River at the same time. It was not until the late Ming Dynasty that after Pan Jixu was governed by the river, the Yellow River was basically fixed. It was in Kaifeng, Lankao, Shangqiu, Dangshan, Xuzhou, Suqian, and Huaiyin. It is the former path of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and it has been flowing for three hundred years.

In order to stabilize the defense line of the Huanghuai River and compete for the real initiative of northern Jiangsu and northern Anhui, the Zhongyi National Salvation Army was going south to Xuzhou and to enter Hubei one after another. For a time, the Huanghuai land gathered nearly 400,000 Qing army, and various local regiments trained armed forces, which was a huge momentum.

On the two battlefields centered on Luzhou and Yangzhou, a war is about to break out.

In Tianjing, the Supreme Military Command of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, there have been constant reports of urgent reports from Luzhou in recent days.

Although Yang Xiuqing and Zheng Nan had carefully studied the detailed plan proposed by Lin Haifeng on organizing the Huaihai Battle and agreed to make arrangements for this, the matter was really coming, and everyone was worried.

According to the reliable information of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, if the Qing Dynasty achieved its actual combat effectiveness, it would take at least half a year to train. If they were not provoked, the Celestial Empire would still have time to carry out perfect preparations. Now, all the original strategies have been changed by Lin Haifeng's "spiritual whim". The Qing army in northern Jiangsu and northern Anhui was dense. Once there was a mistake, the main force that the Celestial Empire could fight was in the south. For a moment, it was too late to draw.

Shi Dakai had just returned to Tianjing from Guangdong and knew better about the actual combat effectiveness of the Tianjun along the Yangtze River than Yang Xiuqing and Zheng Nan. In Lin Haifeng's plan for the Huaihai War, he claimed that he could gather 400,000 elite soldiers, but he could not imagine where these elite soldiers could come from? However, despite this, he still believed in Lin Haifeng. After a long period of interactions and understanding, he believed that Lin Haifeng was not a careless person. Since he said that, there might be some special solutions.

"Dakai, now you are the chief officer. See if you should mobilize the forces of Tianjing and prepare to help Wei Changhui when necessary. This guy, the war has not started yet, and it makes me scream for a headache." Yang Xiuqing frowned and looked at Shi Dakai who was studying Lin Haifeng's combat plan again.

Shi Dakai started his combat plan and shook his head, "Haifeng's plan is very clear. From below Jiujiang, all the soldiers and horses along the Yangtze River are mobilized by him. Besides, in Tianjing, except for a female soldier division of Xuan Jiao, there is also a security force, and he can't move even if he wants to."

"Then...then just look like that?" Yang Xiuqing smiled, then subconsciously looked at the northwest and sighed, "This Wei Changhui has been calling for so long, and I don't know which day it will be a stop."

"Since I have agreed to the entire plan of the Haifeng brothers, I can only do it as planned resolutely and order the King of Northern to defend Luzhou at all costs, and he will not care about Yangzhou's affairs." Shi Dakai said, walked to the open window book, looked up at the cloudy sky.

A faint sound of low rolling thunder came from the sky.

Alas, there is so much rain this year!
