Chapter 473 Recalling Historical Events
Huang Xiaohu said: "Actually, if I become an emperor, I'm probably no different from the presidents of our time. But I may have to teach several countries a lesson, because they will soon unite to attack us."

Zhao Yali said: "The Eight-Power Allied Forces will be decades away. It seems that the British and French allied forces are attacking Tianjin Port now?"

Huang Xiaohu said: "Xiaolan, Xiaoli, do you still remember this period of history?"

Zhang Yalan said: "I only remember that this time the British and French allied forces attacked Beijing and burned down the Old Summer Palace."

Zhao Yali said: "Huzi, I remember that this is the second Opium War. It seems that the British and French allied forces have already attacked Guangzhou. It should be fought at the end of the year, and then they will attack Tianjin in the second year, next year. The Battle of Dagukou It seems to happen next year. As for the attack on Beijing and the burning of the Old Summer Palace, it seems to be a few years later."

Huang Xiaohu said: "It turned out that the British and French allied forces attacked us first. It seems that the first thing we have to teach is these two countries."

Zhang Yalan said: "But we don't have warships, not even warships, so how could we have the opportunity to fight the British and French allied forces?"

Huang Xiaohu said: "Don't worry about it, wait until they attack the court for a while. Since the burning of the Old Summer Palace is a few years later, if I want to stop it now, there should be time. The Qing government will not be bullied by these outsiders a few times. They themselves don't know that there are heavens and humans outside the sky, so let's teach them a lesson."

Zhao Yali said: "That's good, at least it can make historical events go on normally, but I think it's a good idea to prevent the British and French allied forces from burning the Old Summer Palace."

Huang Xiaohu said: "Xiaoli, since you are so familiar with this period of history, please tell me what's going on."

Zhao Yali said: "I only remember a few things. If you ask me about the specific events, I really don't know. Anyway, in my impression, the second Opium War was from 1856 to 1860, and the Tianjing Incident happened. The time was 1856. The burning of the Old Summer Palace was 1860.”

Huang Xiaohu said: "Then we are now in 1857, and it is already the end of October, which means that the British and French allied forces should start attacking Guangzhou?"

Zhao Yali said: "In history, it seems that Guangzhou was fought at the end of the year, and then the Dagukou Battle took place in 1858 the next year. It was just that the British and French allied forces won and signed some treaties."

Huang Xiaohu said: "Xiao Li, why did the British and French allied forces attack the Qing Dynasty?"

Zhao Yali said: "The book said that it was because the Qing Dynasty did not allow them to sell opium and confiscated their goods. Anyway, they didn't want to do business with them, so they fought against the Qing Dynasty and demanded a customs clearance treaty or something like that."

Huang Xiaohu said: "Hehe, the Qing Dynasty has always felt good about itself, and always regarded itself as a kingdom of heaven. It is unbelievable that the two small countries can directly attack the city of Beijing and burn down the Old Summer Palace. "

Zhao Yali said: "Britain and France are not two small countries, Huzi, they are both powerful countries in this era!"

Zhang Yalan said: "The British Empire, it seems that the empire on which the sun never sets is Britain at this time, right?"

Huang Xiaohu said: "But my impression is that the total number of Chinese, British and French allied forces participating in the war seems to be only more than 1. I mean that such a small number of people can enter the city of Beijing. Isn't this incredible? There are so many in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom What no soldiers or horses could do, was actually accomplished by more than 1 British and French allied forces.”

Zhao Yali said: "This is indeed a bit outrageous. Anyway, I can't figure out why. But you are so good at fighting tigers. If you have 1 people armed with guns and warships, do you think you can fight?" Did you hit Beijing city?"

Huang Xiaohu said: "It's definitely possible, and let alone the city of Beijing, I guess I will destroy the Qing Dynasty directly."

Zhang Yalan said: "Since you have this ability, why don't you drive away the British and French allied forces?"

Huang Xiaohu said: "I know what to do. Since we can't make advanced weapons ourselves, we can only temporarily borrow their weapons."

Zhao Yali said: "Huzi, the weapons and equipment of the Qing army and the British and French allied forces are very different, so even if the Qing army has a large number, but because the weapons are too far apart, they are no match for the British and French allied forces. If you can get With those advanced weapons, it would be easy to overthrow the Qing Dynasty."

Huang Xiaohu said: "Yes, it seems that I really need to think about how to do this. Xiaoli, where is the battle where the British and French allied forces have invested the most troops?"

Zhao Yali said: "My impression seems to be that when Beijing was attacked, the British and French allied forces invested the largest number of troops, otherwise they would not have captured Beijing so easily, but at that time the emperor had fled, so it is estimated that Beijing did not resist much. .”

Huang Xiaohu said: "Okay, then it's decided, we will grab the weapons and equipment of the British and French allied forces, and arm our new army when the time comes, and all problems will be solved."

Zhang Yalan said: "Huzi, aren't you going to leave? Do you want to stay in this era forever?"

Huang Xiaohu said: "To leave this era, I need to find the Dragon Phoenix Jade Ganoderma first, and even if I leave this era, I must first complete a few things to ensure that our members of the Dragon Society will not be bullied in the future, otherwise we You can walk away, but what about those who follow us? Don't we care about their life or death?"

Zhao Yali said: "Huzi, you are right. We can't ignore them. If they are willing to join the Dragon Society, obey your command, and be your subordinates, you need to be responsible to them to the end. I support you, Huzi, We must give them a good placement and make sure they are fine before we consider leaving this era."

Zhang Yalan said: "I also support you, Huzi, anyway, we also think that things in this era are quite interesting, and here we are like queens, almost no one dares to be rude to us, and even they will greet us when they meet. It’s a pretty good feeling to bow and kneel.”

Huang Xiaohu said: "I am very relieved of you two. After all, I know the character of you two. You are kind-hearted and have a clear distinction between good and evil, so I don't worry about you doing anything bad. Since you also support me, stay and solve the problem. Deal with the issue of the Dragon Society, then it's a deal."

The general plan and goal have been determined, and Huang Xiaohu has started to have new ideas and plans in his heart, but recently he has seldom accompanied the two beauties Zhao Yali and Zhang Yalan, so after returning to Qingyuan this time, Huang Xiaohu stayed by their side for seven consecutive days , Even the gate of the mansion has never been out.

After seven days, Huang Xiaohu decided to do something serious, so he told Zhao Yali and Zhang Yalan, and went directly to Luo Hongfan's residence.

After finding Luo Hongfan, Huang Xiaohu said, "Is there any new news recently?"

Luo Hongfan said: "According to the chairman's wishes, the letter should be delivered to Hong Xiuquan and Li Xiucheng soon, but it may take a while to wait for the reply."

Huang Xiaohu said: "How is the current firearm manufacturing process in Qingyuan City?"

Luo Hongfan said: "My lord, the firearms manufacturing factory in Qingyuan City can manufacture shotguns and firecrackers, and there are also carrying guns. These are already the best firearms in the imperial court."

Huang Xiaohu said: "Lord Luo, do you know where you can build a ship?"

Luo Hongfan said: "I don't know about this, Mr. Chairman, why did you suddenly think of building a ship?"

Huang Xiaohu said: "It's just a casual question, Lord Luo don't need to take it to heart."

Luo Hongfan said: "There are fishing boats along the coast, and it is estimated that shipbuilding is only possible in the coastal areas. It's just that we Shenlong

The current sphere of influence of the society does not seem to be close to the sea, so this shipbuilding seems a bit out of date. "

Huang Xiaohu said: "It seems that we need to establish a port, but apart from Tianjin, it is Yantai Lushun, Qingdao, and the closest sphere of influence of our Dragon Society seems to be Tianjing and Shanghai, right?"

Luo Hongfan said: "The chairman suddenly said this, and I don't know how to answer it. But why did the chairman suddenly become interested in Linhai?"

Huang Xiaohu said: "Anyway, you will know in the future, and now I want you to hurry up and make firearms, which will probably come in handy in the future."

Luo Hongfan said: "Okay, I will definitely live up to the chairman's entrustment."

After Huang Xiaohu left Luo Hongfan's mansion, he went directly to the army, and then called a meeting with the generals above the group level.

Jia Lin said: "My lord, the number of new troops in the barracks has reached more than [-]. Including the previous batches of surrendered soldiers, the number now exceeds [-], but the size of the barracks is not enough. Now we should consider expanding and building new ones. "

Huang Xiaohu said: "Okay, I will arrange this matter. Unexpectedly, the recruiting work of our Dragon Society is progressing very smoothly."

A regiment leader said: "Nowadays is in troubled times, and the president has always given clear rewards and punishments to soldiers. Being a soldier is enough to support the family. Naturally, more and more people are willing to serve as soldiers."

Huang Xiaohu said: "I don't know who is in charge of training the new army in the barracks now?"

Jia Lin said: "The barracks is responsible for training the new army is General Lu. This person has followed the chairman for a long time, and he has also participated in many battles. It was only because he was injured that he returned to the barracks to recuperate. He has recovered from his injuries, so he is in charge. The training mission of the new army."

Huang Xiaohu said: "General Lu? I have some impressions. Since someone is in charge of training the new army, I have to make some new requirements. I require all the new army to master the skills of using firearms, and I also require them to train marksmanship. "

Jia Lin said: "The new army may waste a lot of firearms and gunpowder when practicing guns. Can the chairman be more considerate?"

Huang Xiaohu said: "Jia Lin, I want to train marksmanship. As for how to be thorough, it should be a matter for training the new army generals. As for wasting gunpowder, that is not something you have to consider."
