The siege of the capital by 100,000 Qing troops lasted for a whole day without progress, on the contrary, Liu Yongfu, Nie Shicheng, Ma Yukun, Song Qing and others led their troops out of the city to counterattack, and they were beaten back again and again.

At this time, the Japanese army had rushed back to the vicinity of the capital again, and was very disgusted by the poor performance of the Qing army, and proposed that the Japanese army attack the capital, as long as one day was enough.

Both Cixi and Guangxu knew that there was nothing good for the Japanese army to enter the capital, so they replied to the Japanese army that this was an internal matter of the Qing army, and the Qing army only needed to spend another day to settle it.

So the Qing army began to rectify, and transferred a lot of heavy artillery to prepare to blast open the walls of the capital.

Just when Liu Yongfu, Nie Shicheng, Ma Yukun, Song Qing and others were in a hurry, Huang Chengyun came to see them with a few people.

It turned out that these people were sent by Chen Zichao of the Intelligence Department to lurk in the capital, and in order to ensure the safety of the undercover personnel, they all had one-line contact with Chen Zichao, and never had horizontal contact with Huang Chengyun. But now that the situation in the capital has developed to such a point, they were instructed by Chen Zichao to show up and assist the Qing army in the battle.

After one of them met, he did not greet each other, and immediately proposed: "The headquarters telegram asks us to immediately clear a smooth runway 100 meters wide and 3,000 meters long in the capital, so as to welcome the arrival of reinforcements!" ”

"Reinforcements? Where did the reinforcements come from? Why clean up a runway in the capital? "Liu Yongfu has been in the south for a long time, and when he heard the magic of the Huaxia Army, he had already heard that his ears were calloused, and Nie Shicheng, Ma Yukun, Song Qing and others were in the north where the Qing court had blocked the news for a long time, and when they heard this sentence, they couldn't find the north at all.

"It's going to clear a runway for an airplane!"

"The runway, is it an airship in the air that is going to carry reinforcements and land!" Liu Yongfu racked his brains. Finally got this in mind.

"Airplanes are not airships. It's faster than an airship. At most, you can fly over a distance of more than 3,000 kilometers in more than ten hours and rush to the capital! ”

All the generals were experienced in a hundred battles, and they couldn't imagine that there was such an artifact in the world, so they asked in disbelief: "What is an airplane?" Fly more than 3,000 kilometers in more than ten hours? ”

"Airships are lifted off by hot air, but airplanes don't need hot air to be powered by engines to take off...... (1) (1), this is too complicated, I can't say clearly, now the time is pressing, everyone will understand when they see the plane. If the weather is fine. The first reinforcements will arrive by plane tomorrow at dawn! ”

Nie Shicheng knew that he didn't understand that there were too many things in the Huaxia Army, and now that the situation was urgent, he simply stopped asking, but wanted to act immediately: "Okay, let's quickly arrange personnel to clean up!" ”

Liu Yongfu, Ma Yukun, and Song Qing were also full of questions, but they all understood that these question marks might reveal the truth tomorrow, so they didn't ask anything anymore, but took their own actions.

How could the Huaxia Army send planes to transport reinforcements from Nanyang?

What's going on?

This starts with Hu Zhen leading the fleet from the west coast of the United States back to the western Pacific.

Along the way, Hu Zhen was thinking of finding some beautiful excuse to intervene in China's domestic affairs, but received several telegrams from Pontianak. He said that the English Legation had come and sent a note to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, hoping that the Huaxia Guild would not intervene in the war between the Japanese and the Qing army.

Hu Zhen jumped up in anger. He threw the newspaper on the deck and said angrily, "What bullshit? This England is too far away! ”

Zheng Dingbang, the commander of the fleet, who had been accompanying Hu Zhen in the fleet, said: "Sir, we don't have to pay attention to the English, but our fleet must make good arrangements, in addition to defeating the forces of the Japanese state, we must also leave the necessary detachment to watch the British Far East Fleet in the South China Sea, and prevent it from going north to harm our big things!" ”

Hu Zhen suddenly realized that he was indeed out of shape just now, so he restrained his mind a little, looked at the ocean with his eyes in the sea and sky, and nodded:

"The English are right, 'There are no eternal friends or enemies in the relations between countries, only eternal interests', and we have begun the process of unifying Great China, and no great power will agree that we are about to become the world's superpower and threaten their status. From the current point of view, although our naval warships seem to far surpass the Japanese state, but in fact they are simply insufficient, this time the naval strength has to be divided into four, first of all, it is necessary to divide forces to annihilate the Japanese fleet, and secondly, to divide troops to watch the South China Sea passage, and at the same time, we must also divide troops to monitor the Oros fleet in Vladivostok to prevent it from suddenly jumping out to interfere, in addition, the naval forces in Panama, Guantanamo, and Puerto Rico must also immediately enter a state of first-class combat readiness, and beware of the Mi Guoyan taking advantage of the fire to rob! ”

"Yes, the naval fleet will hold off any enemy who dares to threaten our unification of Great China!"

"Okay, you go and arrange it!"

To Hu Zhen's surprise, a telegram later said that someone in the distant capital worshipped him as emperor, and even a few generals defected from the Qing court to express their respect for him to ascend the throne.

"What the hell, the yellow robe added to me?" Hu Zhen never thought that it was the nineteenth century, and the Chinese people would still play such a story of the yellow robe, so he hurriedly contacted the nuclear submarine.

However, the communicator of the nuclear submarine was silent for a while, and then replied: "This is the wish of the people, and you should follow the will of the people, master!" ”

"It's not fun to be an emperor at all, that's to bear unlimited responsibility for the country and the nation!" Hu Zhen was skeptical about this.

"With the help of supercomputers and nuclear submarines, what's so difficult for the master to be the emperor? Moreover, at the end of the nineteenth century, the Chinese **** was still very lacking in the soil of a democratic republic, even if you said that you wanted to implement republican democracy, it would just add to the chaos, you look at the history of the warlords in the early Republic of China in another time and space, if you can successfully achieve a constitutional monarchy, will this happen? There is another very important reason, Huaxia will definitely inherit all the vassal assets of the Qing court, if the republic is republicized, these vassal states may be lost, this is a big issue that must be considered...... Realizing a constitutional monarchy step by step is the best development path for China. ”

"Constitutional monarchy ......" Hu Zhen was noncommittal.

But when the fleet returned to Pontianak, Hu Zhen had to make a decision.

When the flagship of the fleet slowly approached the Pontianak pier to take the trestle bridge, and Hu Zhen walked up the stairs of the trestle, he saw the black crowd of people on the pier silent, and suddenly someone shouted, and everyone knelt down to him.

His pregnant wife, Han Yuqing, also knelt down with the crowd, Zhong Ling also knelt, and even the arrogant Princess Kaorani followed others to kneel down to him.

What the hell is this? (To be continued.) )uw
