Due to the war, Yong'an City had to be a little confused first. Groups of defeated soldiers were rampant on the streets. There were no traces of small vendors in the originally prosperous night market. Chunfenglou, the largest restaurant in Yong'an City, ran to hide before the war. When the Taiping Army was there, the restaurant had not moved. After the officers and soldiers came, because they had no spare time, the soldiers were not polite, so they broke the door and drank it with their own wine.

Xiangrong placed a table of wine and food in the big tent, and the wine was brought from Chunfenglou.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Xiang Rong's pale face turned red, but his expression was still gloomy. After drinking a few glasses, he put down the cup and sighed. Yang Yi saw this and smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, sir, although he was defeated in this battle, the court can only rebuke it from the top. With his current relationship and status in the court, the emperor should not make things difficult for you."

Xiang Rong smiled and said, "Since he was ordered by the emperor to suppress bandits, he has been unable to win many battles (in fact, he has been defeated repeatedly). There are many people in the court who are jealous of me, and I will not talk less about gossip. I am afraid that the emperor will no longer trust me, and it will be difficult for him to be valued in the future."

Yang Yiyi smiled: "It turns out that it is for this matter. I have a plan to ensure that the emperor will entrust the emperor to use it within two years."

Xiang Rong's dim eyes suddenly shone after listening to Yang Yi's words: "I hope to hear it carefully."

"You can report to the court to talk about the future strategy of suppressing bandits. The emperor may not pay too much attention to it in the short term, but it will be useful in the future." Yang Yi took a glass of wine and took a sip:

"Oh? How should I write this song?" Xiang Rong leaned against Yang Yi, his eyes full of anticipation.

"At present, bandits fled to Guilin, they must enter Hunan. If they want to enter Hunan safely, they must take Jinjiling. After obtaining, they will definitely send good generals to defend themselves. Once they enter Hunan, bandits must plan to Changsha. Changsha is strong and there are heavy troops. Bandits will station troops under the city. If they fail to attack for a long time, they will inevitably turn north. In this way, due to the weak soldiers in Hubei, Lord Xu, the current governor of the Two Lakes, is also a literati, and is obviously not a match for bandits. In this way, Wuhan is dangerous.

Once the Han Dynasty lost, bandits went down the river, Jiujiang, Anqing, and Wuhu were at their fingertips. The direct result was that Jinling and Hangzhou in Jiangsu and Zhejiang would also fall into the hands of thieves. Therefore, after analyzing the situation, you can suggest to the court to send a general to guard Wuhan. As long as the adults follow my ideas, I will ensure that the adults will become successful in the future, but I am afraid that the adults will despise me from humble origin in the future, hahaha!!!" Yang Yi smiled at the sky.

"Sir, I will follow my plan, but how should I fight this battle now? I hope you can teach me." Xiang Rong's even name for Yang Yi was changed from Empress to Mr.

"How to fight, keep a distance and follow him." Yang Yi smiled strangely:

"Gaojian!!!Gaojian!!!Damn it!!!" Xiang Rong swept away the gloom on his face and raised his glass to drink.

Yang Yi picked up the wine glass and put it down, looked at Xiang Rong calmly, and said numbly to Xiang Rong's scalp: "Sir, what else can I give me?"

"I think if there are any other reasons for the repeated defeats in the battle, besides the cunning attack on the bandits?"

Xiang Rong thought for a while and said, "The bandits are brave, our army is not as good as that."

"What else?" Yang Yi looked down at the wine in the glass:

"The Guangxi Green Camp has been distracted for a long time, and the good days have been too long and there is little training in normal times. Most of the soldiers and generals under their command are greedy and afraid of death. It is good when the situation is smooth. Once they are at a disadvantage, they often run away and cannot be killed." Xiang Rong thought for a while and said:

"During the war with foreigners during the late emperor's reign, I thought that foreigners were more brave than our Qing warriors?" Yang Yi asked again:

"Of course, I, the Qing soldiers, are brave. Especially Lord Guan Tian Peiguan." Xiang Rong stood up and said proudly:

"What is the outcome of the war?" Yang Yi sneered:

"This" Xiang Rong answered speechlessly

Yang Yi then took over the conversation, "I'm going to know that I have been traveling in the West for many years. The foreign ships rely on only strong ships and cannons. Especially in the infantry battle, the muskets used by foreigners have long range and strong lethality. Look at our army, the big sword and spear, even with firearms, are old things. They are just a good thing to hunt, but when they go to the battlefield, they are the targets of others. Imagine this battle, if there is such a foreign gun guard around you, why would it be so embarrassing? Therefore, the first element of war is weapons."

Yang Yi's argument for weapons supremacy, Xiang Rong nodded straight. These nonsense words Yang Yi deceived Xiang Rong and didn't believe it at all. Of course, weapons are also an important factor in determining the outcome of the war, and Yang Yi did not deny this at all.

In Guangzhou, Shisanxing is the oldest foreign business company. It has existed during the Qianlong period. Since the Opium War, foreigners have become more and more NB in ​​China and walk horizontally. Willy Bar is an industry under the banner of Shisanxing. The boss Willy is a British man and usually receives crew members and merchants from various countries.

Hoffman sat in depressedly at the bar counter, pouring wine into his mouth one by one, and cursing the British who were taking advantage of the situation in German, cursing the ignorant Oriental barbarians, and not paying attention to a Chinese man paying attention to him with an interest-minded look. He didn't know how much wine he drank, but only remembered that the bartender took away the last shilling in his pocket, dragged himself out of the bar, and fell asleep.

The dazzling sunshine in southern China woke Hoffman up from alcohol anesthesia. The intense needle-like pain surrounded the nerves in the brain. After opening his eyes, he realized that he was not lying on the street, but on a soft bed. Could it be that the British man had conscience discovered that he had brought himself back to the foreign business? Look at the decorations around the room, it was a pure oriental style, not a British man. The damn British man should be lying in the arms of a Chinese bitch now and feeding breasts. Thinking of this, Hoffman got up from the bed.

"Dignified German guest, are you awake? Do you feel better?" A standard German accent popular in Berlin upper class, a young and handsome Chinese face, and the familiar language of his hometown have made Hoffman feel a kind of intimate feeling. A caring look and a warm smile have made Hoffman eliminate all his vigilance, feeling that the oriental man in front of him is a relative of his hometown.

"Please wash it first, let's say anything after you have finished. I'll wait for you to have lunch together." The young Chinese nodded after saying that, leaving Hoffman with a puzzled look out, and then a guy came in with a washing utensil.

After coming out of the bedroom, Hoffman discovered that this was a high-end inn. Young orientals had booked a separate courtyard in the west wing and were waiting for their meal in the living room.

"I'm eating Chinese food today, I hope you like it."

The young man is Yang Yi. Since listening to Yang Yi's theory of weapons supremacy, Xiang Rong closely combined this theory with his own safety, believing that he should have it, and that there must be one around him, using the same musket as the Westerners, armed the guards to protect his safety in future battles. So he appointed Yang Yi as the military officer under the admiral of Guangxi on the spot, with his title as the chief officer, and entrusting Yang Yi, who is familiar with the Westernization Affairs, to come to Guangzhou to buy foreign guns. Although he felt distressed when he was paying money, Yang Yi then came up with an idea to make money, and immediately made Xiang Rong smile. The way to make money is to let Xiang Rong send his subordinates to move around. When he found that he lived in a wealthy family, he immediately rushed in and caught the parents in charge, first slandered him for affair with the bandits, and then neither beat or scolded him, and found a place to lock these people together.

Let their family take money to redeem people. Soon they got back the 30,000 taels of silver that had bought Yang Yi's musket. Yang Yi carried 30,000 taels of silver in his arms, rode a good horse that Xiang Rong gave. After three days, he arrived in Guangzhou. After arriving in Guangzhou, Yang Yi moved around and contacted foreigners to buy guns. Who knew that all foreign companies said that there was no spot at the moment, so they asked Yang Yi to wait. Only the British Willy said he had it, but the price was too high. Yang Yi was a little reluctant to give up the money and planned to

Wait and see, I was bored yesterday and ran to Willy's bar to drink and relieve my boredom. By the way, I wanted to try my luck to see if I could tell Willy to buy dozens of guns for myself. But I found that Hoffman was drinking, until Hoffman was dragged to the street by the bartender. When Young saw Hoffman speaking aristocratic German, he thought that it would be no harm to make a few foreign friends, so he took Hoffman to this high-end inn and also booked a side hall.

You don’t need a knife or fork to eat Chinese food, but Hoffman probably hasn’t learned how to use chopsticks yet, so Yang Yi prepared a fork and a spoon for him.

"Let's eat and chat. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Yang Yi. My profession is a soldier. My position is a military officer of the Guangxi Army in China. My profession is the chief officer. It's your turn. Let me introduce myself, my friend?" Yang Yi felt funny when he heard this, but Yang Yi still had a serious expression when he said this, because Japan and Man are a serious nation.
