In Seoul, the new commander-in-chief of the Korean Japanese army, Daesan Rock, had already taken office, and as soon as Dashan Rock arrived in office, he made a somewhat surprising move, directly promoting the commander of the 10th Brigade and Regiment, Limi Shangwen, to the chief of the general staff of the Japanese army in Korea, and assisting him in commanding the Korean war against the Qing Dynasty.

There was an uproar in Japan. It's not that there is a problem with Shangwen's qualifications, Lijian Shangwen is fifty years old this year, and he is not a young Zhuang faction in the Japanese army, nor is there a problem with Shangwen's ability, but Shangwen is recognized as the No. 1 general in the Japanese military circles, and his prestige may not be enough to be compared with Dashanyan, Yama County Youpeng and others, but just looking at his ability, he has few opponents in Shangwen. The problem is, is it the origin of Tachimi Naowen, Tachimi Naowen was first born in the shogunate, in the process of Emperor Meiji's unification of Japan, he fought with the emperor's army repeatedly, and almost beat the famous generals under Meiji over and over again, winning all battles, but later, the general trend of Emperor Meiji's unification was irreversible, and it was difficult for Naomun to stand alone, and finally surrendered to Emperor Meiji. This is very similar to the famous general of the Song Dynasty in China, Lao Linggong Yang Jiye, who beat the famous generals of the Song Dynasty, but no matter how capable a person is, it is difficult to change the general trend of the world, so he can only return to Song Taizu. Even if Tachimi Naomi is capable, it is absolutely difficult for Emperor Meiji to regard him as his confidant, so Tachimi Naowen has always been just a small major general brigade commander, really talking about marching and fighting, all the existing division commanders in Japan, I am afraid that none of them dare to argue with Tachimi Naowen.

As soon as Dashan Yan came to North Korea this time, he directly promoted Lijian Shangwen to chief of the general staff, and it was precisely because of his superhuman combat command ability that he directly assisted him in fighting against the Qing army, in an attempt to defeat Nie Shicheng's troops in one fell swoop.

"Your Excellency, Commander!" Seeing Shang Wen bow slightly, thinking about Dashan Yan Shi Li.

Da Shanyan waved his hand and said, "Lijian-kun, believe me to promote you to chief of the general staff, you also know what you are for, and what kind of pressure you are under." You are the first tiger general of my Great Japanese Empire, this title, I believe that no one can compete with you, your sensitivity to the battlefield situation, the judgment of strategy, and the calmness of marching and fighting, is the most respected by my Dashanyan, even me, I do not think that you are your opponent, you have always thought that His Majesty the Emperor does not reuse you, this time I will give you such an opportunity, from today onwards, you will officially perform the duties of the chief of the general staff, and the overall operations of the Korean and Japanese forces will be arranged by you, and you only need to hand over the battle plan to me for the record. I believe that you can do a good job, such an opportunity is not easy to come by, if you can't grasp it, there is no reason to complain anymore. ”

Seeing Shang Wen smiled faintly, he said: "Your Excellency Commander, for the Qing army opposite, Nie Shicheng is not worried, he is just a soldier who grew up in the era of cold weapons, in the era of hot weapons, he has fallen behind, his military concept has long been very clear to me, he is not my opponent, presumably you have seen my letter to you before you came to the court." The Qing army now has two keys that we need to face, and these two keys are the biggest obstacles for us to defeat the Qing Dynasty. First, it is Nie Shicheng's right-hand man, General Staff Officer Zhang Yi, this guy is very young, according to my intelligence, he is only twenty years old, but he is resourceful, extremely proficient in modern Western combat methods, and he has his shadow in several major wars between China and Japan before, and he is the actual decibiter of the Qing army's combat command. Second, it is this Zhang Yi has been training the elite army - the blue wolf, the number of the blue wolf is not much, it is estimated that it is the number of several hundred people, but the elusive, uncertain, individual combat ability is extremely strong, for cavalry, artillery, infantry and reconnaissance and other military subjects, are extremely proficient, in the Sino-Japanese war, caused a great obstacle for our army, this elite to our army poses a great threat to the operation, do not get rid of this thorn, we in the future battle, it is difficult to say that we will win, even if we win, it will not be complete. ”

Dashan Yan nodded and said, "I have completed the deployment according to your suggestion, and this force has arrived in North Korea and will be put into battle immediately." As for Zhang Yi, what we can do is two things, first, assassinate, send ninjas and samurai to assassinate with all their might, and second, divide the situation, find a way to make the old queen mother of the Qing country and transfer her out of North Korea, we take the opportunity to defeat the Qing army, and then the general trend has been achieved, even if he returns, there is nothing to do. ”

Seeing Shangwen said with a smile: "Your Excellency Commander, now we have 50,000 troops in the DPRK, although the Qing army also has a part of the army, but the number is not much, and now it is only 30,000 people together, it just so happens that Zhang Yi has returned to the country to recruit troops, what we should do now is to take advantage of Zhang Yi's return to the country and not return, beat him up for a time difference, give Nie Shicheng a bloody lesson, and drive him out of Kaecheng!" ”

"Oh?" Dashan Yan suddenly became interested and asked, "Limi-kun, what are you going to do?" ”

Lijian Shangwen replied: "Now Kaesong is under the guard of the Qing army, Nie Shicheng is stationed in the city, and Ma Yukun is stationed in Maoershan in the southwest of Kaesong; Wei Rugui's troops were stationed on the east side of Kaesong; The former Toyoseung Abe and the inscription battalion were stationed in the southeast of Kaesong; Coming into the Qing Dynasty, more than 8,000 people from the Heilongjiang General Yiketang Asuo, led by the deputy general Yukun, stationed on the west side of Kaesong, wrapped the Kaesong fan in the middle, what we have to do is to send the Wonsan detachment and the Wonsan detachment, covert marching, from the oblique thorn straight into the rear of Kaesong, attack the north of Kaesong, in this way, the Qing army near Kaesong must send divisions to support, our army can send troops from Seoul, attack the south of Kaesong from the south to the north, cause chaos in the Qing army of Kaesong in a short period of time, take the fire from the chest, and defeat the Qing army in a war! ”

Da Shanyan frowned and said: "Lijianjun, your plan has a certain amount of truth, but now that the Qing army in Kaicheng has as many as 30,000 people, although we have a small number of troops, we do not have an absolute advantage, are you sure that you can win steadily?" ”

Li Jian Shangwen smiled and said: "Your Excellency Commander, there is no way to talk about a steady victory, but the Qing army has a big hidden danger that we need to seize quickly." Now Heilongjiang General Yi Ke Tang A has 8,000 people, is the largest number of troops in the Qing army, Heilongjiang General Yi Ke Tang A is a Manchu noble, seniority, do you think he will be willing to obey Nie Shicheng's mercy with the respect of Heilongjiang generals, I think the current Qing army is only afraid that the tail will not fall, Nie Shicheng is also worried. Then there is the former Feng Sheng'a because of the attempt to fake military merits, the battle is not effective, was sent back to China by Nie Shicheng, and there are three or four thousand people in his department, but I am afraid that he also has two hearts for Nie Shicheng, the army of the Qing Dynasty is not without people who dare to fight, but the system of combat command is not smooth, although Nie Shicheng was given the sword of the Son of Heaven by Emperor Guangxu, but he can't control these princes! ”
