    "Spanish?"

    Liu Chang's question was obviously very difficult for Demens to answer. He thought for a while before saying: "Your Highness, I do not recommend that you negotiate with the Spanish. You should choose a tougher attitude, at least treat the Spanish  It hurts.¡±

    "Why?"

    Liu Chang suddenly had the feeling that Stalin met the Bulgarians. In the early days of the Soviet-German War, Germany was unstoppable and achieved amazing victories on all fronts. At that time, Stalin had an iron will on the one hand, and on the other hand he was forced to consider the relationship between the Soviet Union and Germany.  As for the possibility of negotiations, it was thought that negotiations would be conducted through Bulgaria, an Axis power.

    Bulgaria is a special existence among the Axis Powers. Although it belongs to the Axis Powers, it has a very pro-Russian history. Their revolution was thanks to the blessing of Tsarist Russia, so they were trying to get the Soviet Union to do so.  After receiving the news of negotiations with the Germans, instead of passing the news on to the Germans who were allies, he instead said to the Soviets: "Why are we negotiating with the Germans? If the war continues, the final winner will be you!"

    Stalin did not expect the Bulgarians to have such an attitude. With the unexpected support of the Bulgarians, he made up his mind to fight the war with the Germans to the end. Now Demons's answer is indeed Bulgarian-like.

    Demens quickly expressed his judgment: "The reason why I made such a suggestion is entirely from the perspective of the Hong Army, not the hundreds of years of war and hatred between the Kingdom of the Netherlands and Spain. I think if you  If you are too weak, it will be detrimental to the solution of the Guangdong issue!"

    He laid out the facts of what was happening: "According to the information I received, 1,200 Spanish and Filipino soldiers from the Philippines have boarded the ship and been transported to Guangdong Province to support the operation. Do you think they are volunteers? Even though I was in  Everyone in Shanghai has heard that these so-called volunteers are completely paid by the Spanish colonial government, and they are active officers and soldiers in the Philippine colonial army, and they even wear active Spanish army uniforms."

    He continued to rattle off other facts currently underway in Spain: "In addition, there is a third volunteer army that will also set off for Guangdong Province. All these volunteers are fully supported by the Spanish government. Their  Equipment, weapons, and supplies are all carried out by the Spanish government. The Spanish government has wrong judgment!"

    He pointed out some facts: "They believe that our main opponent now is Russia. We are in a passive situation of fighting on two fronts. If we fight with the Spanish volunteers in Guangdong, the Russian government troops will rush through the Great Wall line and cross the border."  The Yellow River reaches straight to the Yangtze River, causing a fatal blow to our unification cause, so I think His Highness should use an iron fist to wake the Spaniards from their dreams!"

    Liu Chang smiled and clapped his hands and said, "Well said. Well said, very well said!"

    Demons continued to point out: "Now it seems that the Spanish, Dutch, and Portuguese are unanimously forming a blockade against China, and even some Americans and British are participating, but this is not the case. Only those who are truly active are  Two countries, Russians on one side and Spanish on the other!¡±

    "The Dutch, Portuguese and even many British and Americans act based on the Spanish. As long as we hurt the Spanish, they will naturally understand who is the real master of the Chinese Empire? Who can decide the fate of all Asia?  !¡±

    Liu Chang agreed with Demons¡¯ statement: ¡°In this case, I think we should implement the action to conquer Guangdong and Guangxi as soon as possible!¡±

    "Wrong!" Demons put forward a different opinion: "I think the most critical thing is to build our industry well. Now Huzhou is the fastest-growing industrial zone in the world. As long as there is another whistle, this will  It will be the never-ending steam engine of the entire Eastern world!¡±

    Today's Huzhou Industrial Zone, whether it is light industry or heavy industry, whether it is military industry or civilian industry, has developed rapidly with the help of the two coal and iron wars. Many new classes with public debt have also invested their capital in this industry.  Although in a sense, the current industrial development is just a repetitive construction, the technologies and equipment used are all repeated practices in the Western world.  But such repetition is an essential development step for an industrial country.

    With the Hangzhou-Huzhou Railway, a super-giant project that is a giant among Chinese industries, it is conceivable that the development of the entire Huzhou Industrial Zone will become even faster.

    "It is a pity that in this time and space, many people still cannot understand the significance of these steam engine-driven machines. They only believe in the force in their hands. They think they will be invincible.  At least it won't be the losing party in the end.

    Pheasant River Collection.

    Zhang Lexing finally had a hint of joy on his face. In the past few months, he could only hear bad news. Either a certain Weizi was attacked by the Hong Army from the south, or some Nianzi suffered injuries in the field.  A great setback, although there were occasional reports of victory, but these victories were too small.

    It wasn't until today that he finally showed his joy: "Okay, okay! If the King of Heaven is willing to come, that would be the best. Pheasant River Collection is not only the Pheasant River Collection of our Naizi, but also the Pheasant River Collection of the Heavenly King. The Heavenly King and I can stand side by side."  king!"

    What made him so happy was nothing else. It was Hong Xiuquan who wandered around in Anhui and was finally in a desperate situation in the Yellow River Flood Area. He had to cross the Yellow River to join the Nian Army. There were tens of thousands of people who crossed the Yellow River with him and survived the battle.  The backbone of the Taiping Army.

    Among them are the newly-emerged Lai Wenguang, Chen Yucheng, who has always been the backbone of the Taiping Army, and Wei Jun, who traveled thousands of miles to defect to Hong Xiuquan. It can be said that the rest of the Taiping Army, except for the Shi Dakai tribe who defended Anqing, almost  They all arrived at Zhiheji.

    The dark clouds that had been hanging over Zhihe Ji this winter finally dissipated. With the tens of thousands of Taiping troops joining in, Zhang Lexing felt that his back was strengthened. What Naanzi lacked in the past was a team that could command freely and fight in the field.  And isn¡¯t this Taiping Army just such a team?

    Now that Li Zhaoshou has brought tens of thousands of people back from Henan, and with this new Taiping Army, it can be said that the Nian Army has recovered from the heavy losses it suffered in the first few months. Even the Spanish country in the West has heard that it has always been with  The Hong Army fought and specially sent envoys to contact them.

    According to the Spanish missionary, in addition to the Spanish country that has sent 600,000 troops to Guangdong, the Northern Rakshasa has also sent 1.8 million troops to Guangdong, plus the United States, England, Portugal, and the Netherlands.  All countries joined forces to annihilate the Hong Army, with a total of 6.46 million soldiers.

    This news made Zhang Lexing suddenly optimistic. Not only was he prepared to defend the land hundreds of miles away from Zhiheji, he was even preparing to march into the Huaihe River and establish the Huaiyang Kingdom: "Xiucheng, don't worry, I keep my word, the King of Heaven  Keep pace with me, regardless of high or low, let's join hands and destroy this rainbow thief!"

    Opposite, Li Xiucheng, who was sent by the Taiping Army to communicate, asked: "Now that the two armies are joining forces, I would like to ask Alliance Leader Zhang if he has any plans to invade Kaifeng?"

    "Kaifeng?" Zhang Lexing asked keenly: "Why are you marching into Kaifeng? When you sent the Tenth Army to the Northern Expedition, didn't you attack Kaifeng?"

    This is an old story about the Taiping Army¡¯s Northern Expedition, but Li Xiucheng said: ¡°I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not appropriate to go south now. I think that after the two armies unite, it would be better to march to Kaifeng and strive for the Central Plains!¡±

    "HenanHenan!" It's not that Nianzi has never been active in Henan. In fact, they have conquered many counties in Henan. There is even a county magistrate who has good relations with the Nian army. Kaicheng invited Nianzi to come in, but Henan is not after all.  The fundamental point of Nianzi is that Nianzi entered Henan without any long-term plan, but went there to plunder.

    "Whose meaning is this? The meaning of the King of Heaven? Or the meaning of a certain woman?"

    Thinking of Du Jinchan's recent changes, Zhang Lexing gritted his teeth with hatred. Ever since he came back from Hangzhou, his little wife had been poisoned. She repeatedly claimed that the Hong Army had many soldiers and generals, and was invincible. Nianzi should unite with the Hong Army instead of  Suicide.

    As soon as he heard the four-character comment "self-destruction", Zhang Lexing flew into a rage and slapped Du Jinchan directly. He only imprisoned her because of the past relationship between husband and wife, but now the Nian Army supports Du Jinchan.  This stinky bitch has more and more people, and even Zhang Lexing feels threatened by this.

    And Li Xiucheng didn't know who "a certain woman" was, and he also knew that this was not what Hong Xiuquan, the king of heaven, meant. In fact, since the breakout of Tianjing, Hong Xiuquan's hypochondriasis had become more serious, even to the point of being unable to govern, and the kingdom of heaven  The soldiers also completely despaired of the so-called kingdom of heaven. They just came here to find a way to survive.

    The person who proposed the plan of aggressively attacking Kaifeng was none other than Chen Yucheng, who is now the strongest and most combat-effective among the Taiping Army. He has been named the King of England earlier than in history and controls almost half of the Taiping remnant army.  He had completely lost confidence in Anhui and repeatedly advocated marching into Henan to find a way out in the north: "When we entered Tianjing, the King of Heaven advocated attacking Kaifeng, but he met the Hunan sailor and advocated establishing the capital.  Jinling, it is not advisable to invade Kaifeng, the Eastern King decided to build Tianjing as the capital, and now that Tianjing is lost, this is a God-given opportunity for us to invade Kaifeng!"

    However, Li Xiucheng could not clearly state that this was Chen Yucheng's opinion: "Leader Zhang, this is not only the opinion of the King of Heaven, but also the opinion of the soldiers of the Kingdom of Heaven. Now is the best opportunity to compete in the Central Plains. As long as the Central Plains is captured, where will the world go?  No?"

    Zhang Lexing asked: "YourDo you think we should give up Pheasant River Collection first?  Why would we abandon the home base that we, Nianzi, have managed for many years without a fight, and go fight against Kaifeng Mansion?  "!~!
