Chapter 905

”Without food, guns and ammunition, how can we fight with the Royal Army? Lufei has surrounded Fuzhou, Luoxin has also hit Nanchang, and the parliamentary army is losing. It won't be long before they can fight to Guangzhou! "

in Guangzhou City, Cao Kun was surrounded by a core member of the house of Representatives, and his impatience appeared on everyone's face.

"That is, the problem now is that even if we have money, we can't sell weapons and ammunition. It's just that we can't fight with the hundreds of thousands of people called by King Qinglong. We all know that fighting them is not just a matter of courage. Those soldiers with wooden sticks on the front line are simply dying, and they are too easy to collapse." Said another.

Cao Kun and his son looked at each other. Their brows were frowned. Their enthusiasm was gradually shattered by the cold reality. They finally realized the gap between the two sides in the war.

The north now has an excellent industrial foundation, education system and tax system. They can produce tens of thousands of weapons and ammunition at any time, and military academies can continuously recruit middle-level generals into the army.

Taxes on agriculture and industry provided logistics for the war.

By contrast, they had nothing. After losing Chu, they found that the foundation of the vast South was weak. Even if the British and the French taught them the technology of flint guns, they could not produce enough firearms, let alone the requisition muskets and the Falcon rifles now used.

After all, in addition to the lack of skilled craftsmen, they also lack the two most important things, coal and iron ore.

Now, he finally realized a problem. In his opinion, Xiao Ming had been planning to go south for a long time, because he had unconsciously controlled the most coal and iron rich area in Dayu.

The areas north of the Yangtze River and south of the Great Wall, Bashu and Guandong were controlled by Xiao Ming. Before the war, these places no longer sold any coal or iron ore to the south.

It's also the reason why they are more and more embarrassed as the war goes on, because even if they have money, they can't buy anything.

In addition, the coast was blocked by the Qingzhou fleet, so the French and British supplies could only go from land, which restricted the quantity and speed of support.

At the same time, the support of France and Britain has become a little weak. They can not continue to deliver goods to him from afar. The only support they can provide is from the colonies.

"I know the war has been lost, but we should trust France, trust Britain, they will send troops to help us. "

Cao Kun swore," believe me, if we keep on, we will win. "

Cao Zhengtong echoed:" yes, we will get more support. "

the members were silent, and their anger turned into a sigh.

Cao Kun continued: "please go back. Our Cao family will not retreat any more. In Guangzhou, we will fight to the death with Xiao Ming. At that time, you will see them being defeated by our united army. "

" I hope so. "

Said one of the councillors.

Cao Zhengtong took the opportunity to say, "but if we want to stick to it, we still need to buy more things from the franceans and the British. It takes a lot of money, and you need to give generously."

The councillors frowned and sighed again. They asked the servants around them to go back and hand over the money to the Council.

Seeing them off, Cao Kun and his son were relieved. At this time, King Qinglong came in from the door.

He said, "let these fools stay and die. It's time for us to go."

"Don't be impatient, be careful to show your feet." Cao Kun's face became serious. He asked, "how is the transportation of gold and silver? This is the capital for us to live in the UK. "

" naturally, there is no problem. As long as we go beyond Dali, these things will directly enter the British sphere of influence. " Green Dragon King light said.

Cao Zhengtong is not reconciled to some words, "father, are we so failed?"

"We underestimated Xiao Ming. It's reasonable that he can defeat the barbarians. Now the war is not decided by the number of people. Besides, there are different voices in the parliament. Many people begin to question us because of the failure. Today is an example." Cao Kun said slowly: "for today's plan, we can only leave a retreat for ourselves, in order to make a comeback in the future."

"But can you come back after this walk?" Cao Zhengtong had some regrets.

"Better than to die here. "The king of green dragon waved his hand." if Xiao Ming caught him, none of us could live. "

Cao Kun nodded and comforted:" count Kerry promised that they would recognize us as the orthodoxy of Dayu, that is to say, even if we went to Britain, we would still be the actual rulers of Dayu in name, and they would not recognize Xiaoming's rule of Dayu. Maybe one day, we will come back with the help of the power of Europe. After all, we have given them enough. "

"I hope so." Cao Zhengtong's eyes look to the west, they really pay enough.On the way of escorting the six cadets, they sacrificed 500 people. The secret guards planned 21 assassinations on their way forward. Only one of the three cadets who followed the Frenchmen was seriously injured, and the British, whom they focused on protecting, also died. One cadet and two were shot.

But anyway, they reached British India, and then they transferred a lot of wealth to prepare for their escape.

After all, the haze of assassination has been shrouded in their heads, and the city of Guangzhou is not quiet.

……

Fuzhou.

After a night of ammunition supply, the next morning, Lufei launched an attack on Fuzhou City.

In the roar of three hundred field guns, the shells hit the city wall of Fuzhou. In the fierce explosion, the city wall of Fuzhou collapsed.

At the same time, a soldier with five grenades on his body climbed out of the trench and charged. The ammunition was sufficient for them to use the grenades in luxury.

"Kill

In the roar of the sky, the veterans led the recruits across the trench. The Royal Army, which doubled in number, quickly gained the advantage, while the exhausted parliament army, which was short of ammunition, collapsed at this moment.

A large number of soldiers of Parliament army fled to the city, while the soldiers of Huben army chased after them. In a flash, the situation outside Fuzhou was one-sided.

Luffy looked at the situation on the battlefield with a smile on his lips. As he guessed, the parliamentary army had lost the spirit of the previous months and was afraid of being beaten by them.
