Cen Chunxuan's face turned red: "Is that true?"

In fact, neither Liu Shaoqing nor Cen Chunxuan knew that the British suddenly invaded Myanmar, and this incident was really unrelated to Liu Shaoqing - or the Black Flag Army.

At the end of the 19th century, South Asia's colonies were almost completely in the hands of Britain, France and the Netherlands. Among them, the Netherlands retained the Dutch East Indies, which later became the Great Sunda Islands. With the Dutch national strength, it would be good to be able to retain this colony. Their vision was at most in Borneo. As for the South Asian subcontinent and the Indochina Peninsula, the competition for colonies was mainly carried out between Britain and France.

The British colonies were mainly Indian subcontinents, and they occupied the largest and most fattest colonies in South Asia. The French came late, and by the 1880s, they only occupied the southern part of Nanzhang, Cambodia and southern Vietnam.

From the map, we can see that the sphere of influence of Britain and France is divided by Siam. The east of Siam is the sphere of influence of the French, and the west of the British is the sphere of influence. Originally, both sides abide by this division in a tacit understanding, but they are desperate. The French plotted the entire territory of Vietnam and then extended their tentacles into GXYN. The attempt to shatter the Black Flag Army in Tonkin.

With no hope of going north, the French who retracted back to Jiaozhichina lay on the map and looked again, and finally they discovered another vacuum area of ​​power - Myanmar.

Although Myanmar at this time had become a semi-colonial after two British-Burma wars, it had not been completely occupied by the British after all. Especially in Northern Burma, the British had a very small influence. Northern Burma also bordered YN, which made the greedy Frenchman smell a glimmer of opportunity.

At the same time, in order to fight the greed of the British, the Burmese royal family was also looking for allies to help them. The two families hit it off, and in January 1885, the Myanmar and France "Business Agreement" signed in Paris.

Although the French have always claimed to the outside world that they signed a purely commercial agreement with Myanmar, in order to avoid intensifying conflicts with Britain, the British could not believe it so easily. Britain suspected that there was an unknown secret agreement between Myanmar and France, and the signing of the Myanmar and French agreement was the first step for Myanmar to break away from British and Indian control and French forces to enter Myanmar.

Just when the British were suspicious, a magical event happened.

The female supervisor of the inner palace of the Tin Robe King - Greece, the Burmese mixed-race Carlo Grady secretly fell in love with the French engineer hired by the king. When she wanted the French to propose to her, she was told that the engineer had returned to France to get married. The woman's jealousy triggered crazy revenge, and Carlo Grady revealed the details of the Tin Robe King's preparation for the French to fight against Britain to the British spy installed in Mandalay, which completely angered the British and made the final decision to send troops.

Of course, at the level of Cen Chunxuan and Liu Shaoqing, it is impossible to get in touch with such a complex international political background, and it is even more impossible to know so many details. All they can see is the only one acre and three-point land in front of them.

Liu Shaoqing's eyes rolled and said, "Oh, I understand. What you are worried about is not Guangnan, but YN, right?"

Cen Chunxuan smiled awkwardly and said, "What Guangnan, YN, aren't they all family? Oh, brother, you don't know. Since the British occupied Myanmar, the court has ordered my old man to rectify YN's defense and prevent the British from infiltration. But you have dealt with foreigners. Is this foreigner so easy to guard against? It's so easy to guard against Myanmar, so the British won't be able to take over it. Poor my father, a decades old man, can't even sleep well. As a son, I'm really worried about him."

"You are worried that your old man will be able to do it, you, the second generation ancestor."

"Oh, I can't say that. No matter what, we are still paying the imperial salary. If we receive the emperor's kindness, we should share the worries of the court."

Liu Shaoqing was vomiting: "You stop now and tell me as it is true, what are you doing when you come to me?"

Cen Chunxuan immediately changed his smile: "Brother, you know that you are resourceful. Why don't you give this great opportunity to share the worries of the court to your brother."

Liu Shaoqing looked contemptuous: "You are cruel!"

However, Cen Chunxuan's father did help a lot when the Black Flag Army and the French fought to death. He sent people to shoot and pay, and even his younger brother went into battle. The so-called grace of someone should be repaid with a spring of water. Just for a moment, Liu Shaoqing had to come up with a solution.

When Cen Chunxuan saw that Liu Shaoqing was concerned, he did not urge him, and sipped the wine on his own. After a while, Liu Shaoqing finally spoke: "If you blindly guard against the enemy, it is indeed not a solution, but as the saying goes, "Observation is the best defense." Therefore, we cannot just defend, we must attack."

‘Puff~’, Cen Chunxuan spit out a sip of wine. “Attack, my ancestors, don’t make trouble. I know you won the French in Tonkin, but who will win or lose in this war is really unsure. Can you guarantee that you will win? You didn’t see the court clamoring, but there is one who dares to say that the war will start."

Liu Shaoqing said: "I didn't say that I was going to start a war."

"Then you said you wanted to attack."

"The attack does not mean starting a war. We can fight guerrillas with foreigners."

"Air-fried chicken? What kind of chicken is this? Foreigners love this thing?"

Liu Shaoqing looked short and young, "Fighting guerrilla is a tactic, which is to use a small group of troops to go deep into the enemy's back, harass and restrain the enemy, make the enemy tired of the rear and unable to attack. Once the foreigners are unable to attack, YN naturally has no need to defend."

"Ao." Cen Chunxuan suddenly realized. "This chicken is good, this chicken is good. How to eat it?"

Liu Shaoqing threw the cup and said, "Do you learn it?"

Cen Chunxuan hurriedly said seriously: "I mean this tactic is good, how to implement it?"

Liu Shaoqing suppressed the impulse to print the sole of the opponent's door, and explained to Cen Chunxuan in detail how to use a small group of troops to harass the enemy's back. Finally, he said: "The key is that Myanmar is mountainous and the jungle vegetation is dense, which is most suitable for this tactic. Moreover, it would be even better if we could contact the local resistance forces. We can use a Taoist zombie to kill people, and then watch the fire from the other side of the river. Hehe, at that time, some British people will suffer."

"Gao! It's really high! Come on, I'll give you a cup to you! Girls, why don't you come back? Are you afraid that the old man won't give you money?"

‘Pu’, Liu Shaoqing fell to the ground.

In the excuse that the military academy had discipline, Liu Shaoqing did not continue to mess with Cen Chunxuan and hurried back to the school. Cen Chunxuan could not sit still, so he had to report the message to him quickly. You know, there was no telegram from BJ to YN at this time.

In March, the capital is already full of flowers. It has been a month since the Nanyuan Procuratorate on the second day of the second month. At that time, the emperor once said that he would ask Liu Shaoqing to ask for a detailed solution to the strengthening of the army. However, a month later, news came from the palace and received a title of "Walking in the Forefront", and there was no more voice. Liu Shaoqing was willing to hand over the letter to Emperor Guangxu, but hesitated and the matter continued to be delayed. It was clear that the palace finally issued an order to announce the meeting of Liu Shaoqing.

Sure enough, after showing off the style of the military uniform, Zai Tian asked the eunuch to bring out a pallet, which were neatly placed on it, and the bright color almost blinded Liu Shaoqing's eyes.

"Your Majesty, is this...is it bright yellow?"
