    "Yes, we need a wise decision!"

    Lin Mengchu directly answered Ye Huaizhi's question. He took out the eight pocket watches he had collected in his hand. They were filled with silver light. They were indeed treasures in the pocket watches: "Your Majesty rewarded these last year. How could you and I be where we are today?"  Don't thank Your Majesty"

    As he spoke, his voice was low: "Therefore, my decision is that our Philippines is as secure as gold, and the Spaniards will attack Mindoro. I have the confidence to succeed and the determination to succeed. Please feel free to advance northward, your Majesty. There is no need to use the Philippines to attack Mindoro."  Worry!"

    His voice has always been high and passionate, but at this moment it became deeper and deeper, but his tone was full of a rare determination: "To defeat Spain, it doesn't require the strength of the whole country of China. I, Lin Mengchu, will shoulder the responsibility alone."  Of!"

    This rare perseverance moved Ye Huaizhi, and he immediately said: "Please rest assured, Overseer, our Marine Brigade officers and soldiers are confident and determined regardless of offense or defense!"

    "Confidence, determination, and perseverance!" Lin Mengchu smiled: "Only in this way can we win. In this battle, I will join you on the sea expedition at any time. I don't want to be buried in the belly of a fish and I have no regrets. // Baidu Search See the latest chapter //  "

    This was his determination to reinforce Mindoro, and Ye Huaizhi couldn't help but smile.

    There are a total of five hundred comrades in Mindoro. No matter what kind of friendship they have or what kind of disputes they have, they are comrades in life and death. Neither Lin Mengchu nor Ye Huaizhi can abandon them: "Leave it to us at sea."  Mobile group!"

    "We have to be careful!" Lin Mengchu bit his lips and said, "This battle will determine the ownership of ten thousand islands. If we cannot win, we will have no choice but to go to the sea."

    Ye Huaizhi understood what Lin Mengchu meant, but before their ship sailed out of Manila, the worst news came.

    ?According to the latest news from the natives of Mindoro.  The number of Spanish troops landed on Mindoro Island has exceeded 2,000, and there is still the momentum to continue to increase troops, but the information about the defenders on the island is unknown.

    ¡°How many of us are in Mindoro?¡±

    "Including indigenous soldiers. About five hundred."

    "How are their ammunition and food stocks?"

    "I replenished it last month, which can support at least three days of continuous fighting, and the food can last until next month."

    "They have strong fortifications, right?"

    "Yes, we inherited it from the Spanish, and our soldiers personally renovated it!"

    "This is enough!"

    Lin Mengchu gave the order: "I will be with you at any time!"

    *** £ª£ª£ª£ª£ª

    News from the Philippines was immediately delivered to Liu Chang's desk. Now the battle report on Mindoro Island has become the focus of the entire Shanghai, and everyone knows who won this battle.  In the next step, the battle for the Philippines took the initiative.

    Liu Chang said to Nanbohang in front of a batch of intelligence that had just been delivered: "The enemy troops in Mindoro now exceed 2,000?"

    "Yes!" Nanbohang answered him: "And there is still momentum to continue to increase troops. Navy Zhang Sigui has decided to reinforce two marine companies to the Philippines. His Excellency, Governor Lin Mengchu, has repeatedly stated that they are determined to win. Please rest assured, Your Majesty.  When heading north, there is no need to worry about the Philippines."

    "Lin Mengchu did an excellent job!" Liu Chang suddenly thought of Lin Mengchu a few years ago, a leader of a small group who kept trembling under his saber.  I didn't expect to reach this point now, time can change everything.

    "Tell Zhang Sigui that this is the last batch of reinforcements he has sent to the Philippines. The entire mission of the navy will be to implement the Thunder Sword plan."

    "Thunder Sword" can be said to be the Hong Army's counterattack plan against the Russian invasion of Northeast and North China.  This time, the entire Hong Army will be used to implement it, and the original march to the southwest will even be stopped.

    This can be said to be an unprecedented large-scale battle in the history of the Hong Army. More than 100,000 combat troops will be used, and various reserve teams in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Guangdong, and Fujian will be used. Nan Bohang asked: "It's really not necessary.  Worried about the Spanish?¡±

    The Spaniards sent more than 20,000 Spanish soldiers to the Philippine Islands. Together with the indigenous soldiers here, the total force exceeds 40,000. With the large number of steamships and sailing ships in their hands, they have the momentum to attack mainland China at any time.  Therefore, the Hong Army had to deploy heavy troops along the coast to prepare for the Spanish landing.

    This is the tragedy of a mainland country, with defenses everywhere and punishment everywhere.??, in the end, it was not impossible to form the strategic focus of the defense strategy, but for Liu Chang, the news from Lin Mengchu allowed him to let go and go north.

    "We will not give Lin Mengchu much support and rely on them to fight for everything. But a battle in Mindoro is enough to make the Spaniards unable to care about the mainland at all."

    Although the Mindoro battle seemed small in scale, with the Spaniards only dispatching two thousand men and the defenders only four to five hundred men, Liu Chang, who had experience in landing operations, could clearly see that  One thing is that such a landing operation will consume the ships and materials in the hands of the Spaniards. Even if they can have another landing operation, it will only be an operation against the Philippine Islands and should have nothing to do with the mainland.

    "We feel sorry for Lin Mengchu and the soldiers who fought hard in the Philippines." Liu Chang stood up, his hands on the table, his voice was not high, but it was very clear to Nan Bohang's ears: "We can only win!  We cannot be like Li Zicheng."

    The tragedy of 1664 has caused China to fall for two hundred years, and now in the decisive battle of North China in 1859, Liu Chang is definitely not willing to be the second Li Zicheng!

    He must defeat all opponents, whether they are the Spaniards, the Qing army, the Russians, or the rebels who are trying to contain the Hong Army's actions. He spoke out in a natural voice: "In this battle, I will fight in person!"

    He maintains the habits of modern people. He usually only uses "I" to refer to himself, and rarely uses "I", a word that carries a heavy responsibility. But when he said this sentence, he felt relaxed all over.

    This is his responsibility. He must lead this army to sweep across North China. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are, no matter how many storms, thunder and lightning, he is only qualified to walk with the soldiers all the way.

    "Your Majestythis is too dangerous."

    Nan Bohang had to worry about Liu Chang. He said loudly: "If you are a little surprised, who will inherit the throne?"

    This is the biggest worry for Liu Chang and Hong Jun. Until now, he has not had a legal heir. You must know that his harem gave birth to four daughters for her in one go, but not a single boy. If something happens to Liu Chang, maybe  It is the biggest crisis since the founding of the entire Hong Army.

    "That's not my concern. This China is completely different from the original one! Even a civil war should have a good ending."

    Liu Chang smiled: "Tell you ladies, I will personally lead the expedition tomorrow. This is my responsibility!"

    The fierce wind blows, and I am accompanied only by those heroic spirits who sing the names of their comrades!

    This is my responsibility, Liu Chang.

    The ninth year of Xianfeng can be said to be the most difficult year since Xianfeng came to the throne, both in history and in this time and space.

    Mao Haijian once wrote a book about Xianfeng, called "The Miserable Emperor", which can be said to be the clearest depiction of the entire history of the Xianfeng dynasty.

    Before Xianfeng ascended the throne, domestic chaos had already spread, and then the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was established in Yong'an. In addition, the entire dynasty was in extreme internal and external troubles. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Nian Army, the Tiandihui, the British, the French, and the Xianfeng Dynasty  I don¡¯t know how many wars and disputes there were.

    At this time in history, Emperor Xianfeng had taken refuge in Chengde. Although the current Emperor Xianfeng can still live in Beijing, the current situation is more difficult than he imagined.

    Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Henan have all fallen into the hands of the Hong Army, while Sichuan, Guizhou, and Yunnan in the southwest have also completely broken away from the control of the Qing Dynasty. The Qing officials there have already gone their own way, and even more  It was to establish the throne and surrender to the hands of the red thieves. Now the Qing Dynasty can only keep the two provinces of Shanxi and Hebei in North China, plus part of Shandong.

    Although the northwest still controls most of Gansu and Shaanxi, for the decisive battle in the North China Plain, the Green Camp and the Eight Banners in Gansu and Shaanxi provinces, although they are the most powerful forces in the world, can only protect themselves, but God Xianfeng has not suffered enough.  The Russian barbarians in the north, under the pretext of aiding the Qing Dynasty, marched heavily outside the customs. It was said that not only did they want to cut off the entire customs outside the customs and Mongolia, but they even wanted to invade Beijing.

    ¡°Has the inheritance that Taizu, Taizong and the ancestors of all generations laid down with so much hard work come to an end in my generation?

    Looking at the countless memorials in front of the imperial court, Xianfeng felt that every breath of air he breathed in was filled with poison. He felt that he could no longer hold up a single memorial.

    The more troubled the country is, the more urgent memorials are issued. Normally, the Qing Dynasty would limit the number of memorials received by the emperor to two hundred per day, and most of these memorials were of minor importance.For example, the governor asked for peace, asked for leave, and routinely informed the appointment and dismissal of officials in the province, and the emperor only had to simply approve with three words "I understand."

    The three words "I know" were the most criticized comments made by the emperors of the Qing Dynasty in memorials. However, such a mountain of memorials cannot be dealt with simply using the three words "I know". Every memorial represents  There is a bloody military situation, and now Xianfeng has to deal with as many as three to four hundred memorials every day.

    Even at this point, Xianfeng had to cough and said loudly: "Call Sushun! I want to conquer it myself!"
