Chen Congyun and Feng Zicai rushed to the front of the formation. At this time, all the generals also knew the news and were very happy. If they wanted to start fighting before the Western Army arrived, it was obvious that they would take the credit for themselves. Now the French are going to surrender themselves. This is no wonder that the Eastern Army is the East Army. If you want to blame, you can only blame the Western Army for not being delayed.

The French army sent an adjutant to propose the condition of surrender, that is, not to abuse the prisoners. This condition was too simple, so Feng Zicai made a decision on the spot and agreed to the French army surrender.

When it comes to Lemoboyue, he still had a little fantasy at this time and sent an adjutant to see how many Qing army was. As a result, the adjutant went back to report that there were countless Qing army, at least tens of thousands, and all equipped with new types of quick guns. Lemoboyue completely gave up and ordered the French army to lay down their weapons and surrender.

A simple surrender ceremony was still necessary. When the French army put down their weapons and lined up out of the city, Lemobojo bent down and handed the sword to Feng Zicai, there was a lot of joy.

The Qing army swarmed into the city and divided the results of the battle. After Chen Congyun Dafang gave away silver, everyone realized that it had become more. The spoils gathered together and everyone negotiated to resolve the problem. At this time, the Western Route Army also completed the battle against Xuanguang City, killing and wounding hundreds of French troops, capturing hundreds of prisoners, and hundreds of French troops fled to the mountains.

Even though he knew that the French army was heading south in a hurry, Cen Yuying was still unsure. Feng Zicai's news said that Chen Congyun had blocked Hanoi, and Cen Yuying rushed south quickly. Cen Yuying thought that there were still seven or eight thousand French troops, and thought that these seven or eight thousand people were not eaten just by eating them. If they were anxious to chase them, the French would turn around and fight to the death, then they would lose money.

Therefore, Cen Yuying ordered the troops to enter the mountains and search for the remaining enemies. He was not in a hurry to go south. He planned to delay for a day and wait for the French and Eastern Army to fight to the death. He came up from behind to pick the cheaper.

After hearing this order, Liu Yongfu said inappropriately and said, "The military situation is like fire at that time. Our troops should go south quickly to completely annihilate the bandits." Cen Yuying is the governor and the commander of the Western Route Army. When he heard that Liu Yongfu, a young man, was going south to pursue him, he thought that the court had no good intentions towards Liu Yongfu, and thought to himself that you were not going to pursue him? Go and chase him.

Therefore, Cen Yuying used the reason why the troops were exhausted and were exhausted, so she asked Liu Yongfu to lead his troops to chase him first. Cen Yuying didn't know that he thought that the French army had decided to surrender after repeated delays in the fighter. Afterwards, Cen Yuying received the news of the French surrender, she was so angry that she cursed the French army as a scumbag. No matter how you surrender, you surrender, that's all I won't mention later.

On the afternoon of the 31st, in Feng Zicai's camp, the Eastern Army generals gathered together, laughing and laughing. The men were the busiest, counting the results and recording the credits, and then Feng Zicai reported them uniformly.

When meetings, we naturally discuss how to divide the spoils.

As the commander, Feng Zicai stood up and suggested: "Everyone, this battle has won a great victory. Lord Shen should discuss the first merit. Since it is the first merit, the distribution of this spoil should be the first to choose."

This proposal was immediately approved by everyone. Everyone looked for Chen Congyun everywhere to ask him to express his opinion, but found that Chen Congyun had not come. This made everyone feel disappointed. Feng Zicai called the commander to angrily and said, "How can you not inform Lord Shen?"

The messenger replied aggrievedly: "Mr. Shen said that in this battle, the troops suffered a lot of losses in the Battle of Liangshan, so he would not participate in the distribution."

Wang Debang couldn't help but sigh: "Since he joined the army, he has never seen a noble and noble person like Shen Zigui."

Feng Zicai couldn't help but sigh after hearing Wang Debang's words and said immediately: "Without Shen Zigui, there would be no great victory today. If I don't come, I am uneasy and should go and ask him in person."

Everyone agreed!

Feng Zicai found Chen Congyun, but he didn't see anyone. After inquiring, he found out that Chen Congyun slipped into the prisoner-of-war camp. What did Chen Congyun do when he ran to the prisoner-of-war camp? It turned out that since France lost the French-Popular War, it implemented a general military service system. Adults must serve in the military, and they must always wait for the state to be recruited by the state before the age of 45. Chen Congyun came to the prisoner-of-war camp for two purposes. One was a soldier who knew technology, and he would definitely have his own manufacturing bureau in the future, so he would first get some technical workers at the bottom. The second purpose was that Chen Congyun interrogated the two prisoners and learned that half of the mercenaries in the Jiangfang Fleet, he immediately had an idea and couldn't wait to come to the temporary prisoner-of-war camp.

Chen Congyun understood French and aroused the mercenaries of the fleet, of course, mainly targeted those mercenaries who were engaged in technology, such as the first mates and chief engineers. The content of the agitation was very simple. Each person had 100 taels of silver. They were hired for a month and asked them to do short-term work. Those who were delicious and delicious should not eat steamed buns made of rice bran here. The employment was over and they were released directly.

After Feng Zicai found the prisoner-of-war camp, he heard that Chen Congyun and a hundred prisoners were heading to the riverside, and Feng Zicai came to the Honghe Wharf again.

The French army's Jiangfang fleet was just a few hundred tons of gunboats, which were not available in large warships, but these gunboats gave Chen Congyun an idea.

After Feng Zicai arrived at the wharf, Chen Congyun was commanding a group of soldiers to deliver coal to the ship.

"Brother Zigui, you can ask me to find it." Feng Zicai shouted from a distance. Chen Congyun hurriedly turned around and ran over and said, "Old General, what's the matter with Congyun?"

Feng Zicai looked at the river busy cleaning up and salvaging the wrecked ships, cleaning up the river channels, and the smoke-filled gunboats. Feng Zicai couldn't help but sank in his heart, and said to Chen Congyun seriously: "Brother Zigui, why are you?"

Chen Congyun knew to hide Feng Zicai but smiled and said, "Saigon is empty right now, Yun Cong intends to lead his troops downstream and drive the French out of the sea."

Feng Zicai's face darkened and said, "Brother Zigui, I'm here to persuade him at first glance."

Chen Congyun knew what he meant, and shook his head with a smile and said, "Elder General, time is endless. Even if the army does not move, our troops will go south alone. The court pursues the matter and takes responsibility for it."

In 1862, the French army forced Vietnam to conquer and signed the first Saigon Treaty (also known as the Chaikun Treaty), and Vietnam ceded a large area of ​​territory south of Saigon to France.

The Qing army fought in North Vietnam, and that was a war on the territory of a third country. Once it went south to Saigon, it would enter France's "territory", and this nature completely changed. On this issue, how could Feng Zicai be cautious?

At this time, all the generals also came. After Feng Zicai told Chen Congyun’s plan, Wang Debang was the first to persuade: “Brother Zigui, be careful!”

Chen Congyun didn't know how powerful this was. The court was afraid that the French would expand the war. Chen Congyun understood very well that Rufri's cabinet would fall, and the French would not be able to continue the war. What's more, there are still nearly 10,000 French prisoners. Not to mention, the French people are enough to conquer and feel uncomfortable when they get up to make trouble.

"Everyone, Congyun thought that since the French had won Zhennan Pass, Congyun would have won Saigon. As for the court's fault in the future, Congyun would have to take off his armor and return to the field and be a gentleman."

Chen Congyun made a passionate statement, and the generals remained silent. No one opposed it, and no one was willing to follow Chen Congyun.

Feng Zicai also knew that what Chen Congyun said made sense, but according to the previous rules, Chen Congyun was jumping into the fire pit. Feng Zicai, who had already treated Chen Congyun like a brother, could he bear to watch Chen Congyun do this?

"I'm back, this matter must not be done." Feng Zicai tried to persuade him weakly. After hearing this, Chen Congyun smiled bitterly: "Everyone, since the smoke of the Daoguang Humen, my dynasty has never won the outside world, and he has been cedeing land and paying compensation. Congyun thought to himself that this is not for anything else, but for later literati and poets who wrote history books, he recorded that Congyun had been in disgrace for decades of shame for Xue and drove the French out of the sea."

Everyone's persuasion was ineffective, and they had no intention of dividing the spoils and dispersed.

That night, Liu Yongfu led his troops to arrive at Xingye and found Feng Zicai. When he learned that the French army had surrendered, Liu Yongfu congratulated the Eastern Army for the results of the battle, and sent someone back to inform Cen Yuying.

Seeing Feng Zicai's face full of sorrow, Liu Yongfu asked: "Why are the old general worried?"

When Feng Zicai talked about Chen Congyun, Liu Yongfu slapped the table and said, "Good sentence, the French can beat Zhennan Pass, but how can Congyun not fight Saigon? I heard that Shen Zigui was a man who fought hard in Zhennan Pass, rushed to the enemy's back and attacked Hanoi. Now Shen Zigui is going south, so Liu Yongfu will accompany him for a walk."

After saying that, Liu Yongfu said goodbye to Feng Zicai and wanted to go straight to Chen Congyun.

Feng Zicai was worried about what would happen to these two madmen when they met together, so he hurriedly grabbed Liu Yongfu and said, "Go together."

When Feng Zicai led Liu Yongfu to find Chen Congyun, Chen Congyun was sending Wang Debang out, not to mention that he was here to persuade Chen Congyun not to go south to Saigon.

Chen Congyun saw Feng Zicai leading a thin man in. The man had a bright look and a murderous look on his face. He couldn't help but ask, "Gen. Feng, who is this?"

"Hahaha, Shen Zigui, I finally see you. Here, Black Flag Army, Liu Yongfu."
