87_87379 The foreign devil Shi Shiran withdrew the gunboat, but what was left to Li Dacheng was a big mess, not to mention anything else, only the villages and towns in the Jingu area, especially the villages and towns in the Dagukou area, there is not one out of ten!

Those who do this are mainly Lao Maozi and Little Japan, and if nothing else, they will rush at these ruins and ruins left by them, and Li Dacheng will have to fight with them at Dagukou.

It takes time to restore the fort, it also takes time to dig the position, and the most important thing is to move the people near Dagukou, but it is this that Li Dacheng also encountered difficulties.

Seeing that the autumn harvest is over, the people are even more reluctant to leave, and many people who have been robbed have run away and come back, if nothing else, just for the little food in the field.

Give food, it's not good! It is not easy to give silver! The people of Jingu, who are duty, value their harvest and land, and send the Zhenwei army to move the people, but they can drive them away and come back.

Regardless of them? The name of righteousness is on the side, and there are countless villages on the way from Dagukou to Jinmen, with a population of not 500,000, but 200,000 or 300,000.

Since it is a dead knock, foreign devils are indispensable for casualties, not counting the future war, just counting the accounts of these two days, foreign devils will also retaliate, how strong is the army's revenge on the civilian people Li Dacheng is clear, give up? How can the two or three hundred thousand people in the villages and towns give up? Can't give up!

Only the people can't move away, so that the recovery of Dagukou has become a chicken rib, and if the people don't leave, the Zhenwei army will have to be nailed to Dagukou in the future. But the Zhenwei army is not the opponent of the foreign devils, and in the war a month later, the Zhenwei army can only fight for a while, and wants to block the march of the foreign devils at Dagukou, Li Dacheng does not have any hope for this.

The coastal area of Jinmen. Although there are only three best places to land, there are other places where you can't land, and with some time and effort, you can do it.

The gunboats on the sea are a group of mobile batteries, with warships to cooperate with the army, and the 150-kilometer coastline of Tianjin. Where can not be broken? Dagu Pass can not be defended, it has become a foregone conclusion long before the war, with Dagu Pass as the front, extending to Tianjin Gate in depth, and defending on all fronts. This can only be a good wish, 45 kilometers in depth, 150 kilometers in length of coastline, if you want to defend it impregnable, only one will let Li Dacheng's side have no way to advance or retreat, where will the guns come from?

The embarrassing situation at Dagukou is only one of them, and the Tianjin concession is also melancholy, after the general offensive is launched. The idea of destroying the Tianjin Concession within two days is a good idea, but the combat power of the Zhenwei army is too much. Up to now, two days have passed, but the progress is still not satisfactory, relying on the sturdy buildings in the concession area, the foreign devils not only blocked the Zhenwei army, but also blocked the follow-up reinforcements of the Wuwei army. The stalemate has already begun, and it will not be possible to capture the concession area in ten days and a half months.

Street fighting. Relying on the strength of the crowd could have been devastating. For the destruction of the Tianjin Concession, Li Dacheng is full of confidence, but unfortunately the people's hearts are not available, Qi Shiduo and Sun Shouye have exhausted their skills, and they can only sigh at the concession area.

The Zhenwei army of Dagukou returned to attack the concession area, and naturally it was possible to take that side, but Dagukou was already in hand, and Li Dacheng did not dare to give up lightly, after all, Gui Shun represented the imperial court, and Dagu Kou was lost to Gui Shun's reputation.

The war in the concession area has also stopped now, the foreign devils in the concession area have asked for surrender several times, and more than half of Qi Shiduo's men and horses have been killed or wounded, and how to deal with the Tianjin concession is also melancholy.

Li Dacheng was guarding the Dagu dock and could not advance or retreat, but at this time, the foreign devil's fleet sent a representative to inquire about the situation of the Tianjin concession and reinforcements, this is not a peace talk but the high posture of the foreign devil, the answer is not good, the foreign devil's fleet is not a decoration, how to answer, whether to answer the foreign devil's question, is a question.

Answer truthfully, I am afraid that the foreign devils will directly attack Dagukou, and Dagukou will inevitably gain and lose; If you don't answer, the foreign devil is in a hurry, and you have to attack, and the result is the same; In addition, whether you answer or not, you have to consult the imperial court, the Jingu area is not a southeast place, and the Gyeonggi region is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and it is also a taboo for the imperial court to talk to foreign devils in private, and the Zhenwei army cannot make mistakes in these matters.

I wanted to use the language barrier to push the way, but the foreign devils were very well prepared, their own China pass, the Qing Dynasty's interpreters all brought here, and everyone could talk nonsense, and in desperation, Li Dacheng could only use the excuse that the Beijing-Tianjin telegraph line was destroyed, and he needed to ask the court for an answer or not, and he fought for five days to reply on the side of the foreign devils.

The defense of Beitang was handed over to Nie Shicheng, the defense of Dagukou was handed over to Luo Rongguang, and the Dagu dock was handed over to Li Dahan, and Li Dagou was allowed to return to Shijin Gate with 15,000 people, except for the 30,000 Wuwei Army and Zhenwei Army led by Nie Shicheng in the Beitang area, and the remaining 70,000 people defended Dagukou.

Hastily drew a defense map of the Tanggu line for Nie Shicheng and the three of them, backed by the grain in Nancang, gathered the people in the Jingu area to dig fortifications, and prepared earthwork materials to silt up the Haihe River, after that, Li Dacheng left the Dagu dock with a bitter heart, and the dilemma was not easy to walk!

When he arrived at the concession area, he looked at the shape, Li Dacheng could only sigh, unlike the people of the Qing Dynasty, the people in the concession area were united and jointly blocked the pace of the Zhenwei army, there were foreign devils' armies, and there were also expatriates from Eastern and Western countries, of course, the number of people in the Qing Dynasty was more, and if they continued to fight, they would fight in the same room, a battle to protect the family and defend the country, but because of the lack of people's hearts, they fell to the point where their own family fought their own people, Li Dacheng had the heart to reorganize the people and horses, and slaughtered the entire Tianjin Concession regardless of the enemy, but after thinking about it, He gave up on the idea again.

The casualties of the Zhenwei army are too great, and the blockade of the Jingu area is not strong, once the slaughter is not thorough, and the news is leaked, it can only cause the crazy revenge of the foreign devils, and completely destroy the concession area, which has become somewhat impossible with the passage of time, and perhaps the foreign devils in the concession area can become a bargaining chip for short-term peace talks, and the two sides weigh it together. The chaos in the concession area can only be maintained.

Sun Shouye's situation was not very good, when attacking the concession area, the old man was shot in the left arm, and the position of the injury was not very good. It is also difficult to save the left arm with surgical treatment, and if you want to survive, you have to amputate the leg, and the price of revenge is not small!

"Uncle, I'm afraid I can't kill all the people in this concession area."

Sitting in a ruin, Li Dacheng looked at the part of the concession occupied by foreign devils with some unwillingness, and said to Sun Shouye lonely. Is it moving too fast on your own? Or is the human heart unavailable? It is so hard to slaughter a concession area, how can the battle be fought in the future?

"Got it! In the past few days, Lao Tzu has killed dozens of foreign devils with his own hands, and he is content!

Dacheng, this is the end of this martial arts first, and I will talk about it later when I have a chance. Being in the ranks is not up to others, this truth is clear to the uncle, you can do what you should do, and you will have a chance to talk about revenge later! ”

Killing dozens of people can eliminate the pain of Old Man Sun's loss of a child? It's also impossible! This road of revenge is also not easy to walk!

With the wounded Sun Shouye returned to Jinmen, the first time for Sun Shouye to do amputation surgery, after two days of high-intensity surgery, Langzhong of Jinmen and Beiyang military doctors. In terms of technology, there is also a certain degree of crossing, the treatment of injuries with Western means, and the treatment of wounds with traditional Chinese medicine. The simplest combination of Chinese and Western cultures, although not immediate, has saved many lives.

Different from the Dagukou side, the more than 20,000 injuries from Huangzhuang and more than 10,000 injuries from the concession area made the hearts of the people in Jinmen fluctuate. Many people have started to flee north, and this is a good momentum.

Return to the Zhili Prefecture Office. told Gui Shun and Gu Qixing in detail about the situation on the front line. Gui Shun naturally nodded vigorously, and Gu Qixing naturally frowned, now the shape of Jinmen can be described as extremely complicated, and the slightest carelessness is to destroy the family!

"Second brother, you don't have the ability to say, in the year of the First Wu Dynasty, how many officers and soldiers and how many warships were beaten by the little devils, you have been good these days, and the Zhenwei army has sent back more than 13,000 to the first level, and this victory is a relief!

Lao Gu, this battle is almost over, isn't it time to reward the three armies? ”

After holding Li Dacheng, Gui Shun was also secretly glad that having such an understanding person by his side would be stable in the future, how good is this?

"What Lord Belle said is right, it is also appropriate to reward the three armies, Second Master, I don't know how to reward it?"

In terms of military affairs, Gu Qixing and Gui Shun have similar ideas, they both have to rely on Li Dacheng, and it is inconvenient for him to meddle in the affairs of Zhenwei Army, and it is inconvenient for him to meddle in the affairs of Zhenwei Army.

"Allocate one million taels of silver from the Jinmen Treasury, according to the previous practice, ten taels per person is good, and then there is to prepare wine and meat, and gather the kiln sisters from all over the country, our Zhenwei army is different from other official troops, money, wine, meat and women are indispensable, otherwise combat power is a problem.

Then there is the Zhenwei army that ate people in Huangzhuang, what I said to Nie Junmen at the time was to refer to Yue Wumu's Man Jianghong, this matter is not small on the side of the imperial court, Lao Gu, you also have to guard against people using this stubble to find us trouble.

There is also the matter of this concession area, I think it is better to let Lord Belle go back to Beijing, so that some things can be clarified with the Queen Mother face to face, the great victory of Tianjin Gate will naturally benefit us a lot, but this victory, we have also offended a lot of people, how to reply to the court for these things, you Lao Gu also have to come up with a charter. ”

Money and food are used to fight wars, and women are used to vent, this thing is inevitable, Li Dacheng's training is not a benevolent and righteous teacher, as long as it can improve the combat effectiveness of the Zhenwei army, any method can be used, and the current Zhenwei army can not cross the section where there must be brave men under the heavy reward.

Now the affairs of the Zhenwei Army are small matters, and the real big things are the affairs of the imperial court and foreign devils, what to do about the affairs of the concession area, and what to do about the imperial court, these are difficult to think about!

"The second master is right, we are very rich now, in addition to the more than three million taels of silver from the treasury and the customs office, there are more than two million taels of silver from the Zhili Money Bureau, millions of money, these are enough for a period of time, and now that the south warehouse is in hand, there is no shortage of food in the short term, and the money and grain can rest assured.

As for the imperial court, there are many people who have offended this Zhenwei Army's victory, if it is reported truthfully, Li Hongzhang, Zhang Zhidong, and Liu Kunyi are considered to be offended, and the same is true for King Qing's side, and there are all the major commanders of the Wuwei Army except Nie Shicheng, Rong Lu Rong Zhongtang said that the Queen Mother and the Holy Lord are naturally happy to see it.

From the point of view of his line, it is imperative to share the credit with the Wuwei Army, and it is best to give most of the credit to the Wuwei Army, and the rest can be regarded as Zhenwei Army. ”

The division of merit is also what Li Dacheng thinks, but most of the military merits of the Zhenwei Army are distributed to the Wuwei Army, this Li Dacheng does not agree, Li Hongzhang and others can be regarded as half of the goods, Gui Shun wants to slap the face and step on them, otherwise the slap will not sound, and there will be no weight in the future.

"! How can we share the exploits of our desperate efforts to share with those old coffins? Let them eat their farts! ”

Gui Shun is also very unhappy about this, such a big credit is shared with others in vain, unwillingly!

"Hmmm! What Lord Belle said is right, the big head is still our Zhenwei Army, and the Wuwei Army only gives him a helping hand, and Lord Baylor's ascension to the throne is our big deal, Li Hongzhang's side ...... He won't live long, just give a little face.

The affairs of foreigners, there must also be a charter, those who can fight wars and do foreign affairs are the candidates of the Queen Mother, and Lord Belle must be able to do foreign affairs.

The court will be defeated in this battle, and it is also necessary for Lord Baylor to show favor to foreigners, among foreigners, Britain and the United States must be friendly, you have to take out the charter as soon as possible, our road is not easy to walk! ”

Li Dacheng's requirement is a bit beyond the scope of Gu Qixing's ability, balancing officialdom is Gu Qixing's strength, but foreign affairs, this old pedant is not clear.

"Second master, you have to come up with an idea for foreign affairs, and you can't do it well."

Gu Qixing listened to the word foreign affairs a little tirelessly, but let him do foreign affairs, it was really a bit blind, I don't know how to start!

"Hey! Minus a few points from those things in the officialdom is foreign affairs, foreign devils are far worse than us in officialdom, Tianjin is a boundary, there are too many talents in foreign affairs, you find a few, with their knowledge of foreign affairs supplemented by your officialdom, it is our foreign affairs, don't think too complicated about this matter, foreign devils are also one nose and two eyes, and their ideas are similar to ours.

In the first battle of Jinmen, we won a game, and then there were peace talks, peace talks were only for a few countries, Lao Maozi, Little Japan, and German devils were not among them, even if we admit it, they will not talk to us, what can we talk about other countries?

It is not impossible to let go of the foreign devils in the concession area, but they must lay down their arms and return the captured Beiyang warships, if this is done, we are good at fighting, and the negotiations can also win glory for the country, neither hurting the face of the court nor the interests of the foreign devils, after the talks, we have to continue to fight. ”

How many Beiyang warships did the foreign devils capture, Li Dacheng didn't know, this was just a way, it was good to negotiate, but it would be like that if it didn't work.

"It's a long way! Second master, this road is not easy to walk! He did his best. ”

Thinking about the errands that Li Dacheng said just now, Gu Qixing is also the first two big, and foreign affairs are not easy to handle! (To be continued).
