Near midnight, these two telegrams descended on the Forbidden City like a thunderbolt. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Whether it was He Changying who led tens of thousands of troops to Jinzhou to recapture Jinzhou City, or He Changying, after privately absorbing the Sheng army, he wisely gave up the command of the reinforcement army and the Sheng army.

Or the Hejiang coalition army annihilated more than 1,400 Japanese soldiers, captured alive their captain of the first brigade of the Tokyo cavalry, Akiyama Yoshiya Shaosa, and captured more than 200 Japanese soldiers alive.

All this made Guangxu, Cixi, and the central authorities surprised and delighted.

Ningshou Palace.

The drowsy Cixi, after listening to the great news reported by Li Lianying, who dared to disturb her rest, finally had a smile on her gloomy day's anger.

"He Changying, such a knowledgeable and knowledgeable person who knows how to repay his kindness, it is not in vain that the emperor will raise the flag for him."

Cixi sat up with a small smile: "Tell the emperor that Ming'er's birthday will not only be done, but also large, and the Westerners and the people of the world will know that our Qing Dynasty also has loyal and brave generals, and our Qing Dynasty will destroy thousands of Japanese soldiers with a single hand." ”

"Wow!"

Li Lianying knelt on the ground with a smile on her face.

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

"He Changying, the deputy commander of Lushun with the yellow flag, has repeatedly made military exploits, is loyal and commendable, and rewards the captain of the cavalry; Jiang Zikang rewarded Dai Hualing, Wu Weiyang added the rank of general, Lin Yunyu was promoted to deputy general, and Mao Chao was promoted to a third-rank general; Tell He Changying, fight well, you will live up to me, and I will not live up to you! ”

Guangxu's face was full of red light, walking back and forth in the hall, thinking like crazy: Is this my Wei Qing, Qi Jiguang?

"The deputy capital of Jinzhou is Lian Shun, and Xu Bangdao, the commander of the Gong Guard, although it is excusable to lose Jinzhou, but it is easy to lose the city, and they are all dismissed from their posts according to the ministry's proposal, and they are guilty of meritorious service to see the after-effects."

"Zhao Huaiye, the commander of the Huaizi battalion, fled without a fight, arrested Gong Zhaoyu, and handed over to the Criminal Department; The 4th battalion of the Huaizi battalion Lushun was temporarily commanded by Xu Bangdao, the remaining 8 posts were temporarily commanded by Lian Shun, and the 2nd battalion of Dalian Zhao Liuhong was handed over to Jiang——"

Emperor Guangxu hesitated slightly, and felt that since He Changying had divided his military power, he should hand over the soldiers to a general who could fight to command: "——Handed over to He Changying, Zhao Liuhong understands the righteousness and promotes the garrison." ”

"Cheng Zhiwei, the commander of the Datong Army, Tong Maoyin, the co-leader of the Jiesheng Battalion, went to the rescue for a long time, Yulu was sent to Xinjiang, and it was difficult to excuse the blame, and he handed it over to the ministry."

"Song Xi of Anton Zhixian County, brave and strategic, loyal and courageous, promoted to the sixth grade of the general judgment."

"The generals of the Sheng Army, Lu Benyuan, Sun Xianyin, Wei Benxian, etc., do not remember the shame of the past, set fire to Anton, and disturb the people along the way, especially evil, extremely hateful! Immediately escorted to the Beijing Division and handed over to the Criminal Department for strict handling. ”

Guangxu loudly issued one holy decree after another, and the little white face turned into an unhealthy flush because of excitement.

Port Arthur, Westport Wharf.

After receiving the telegram from Zhao Huaiye in the afternoon, Gong Zhaoxi, a former enemy camp officer in Lushun, suddenly lost his color.

He hurriedly put away the precious jewels and silver tickets, and waited for the night to come, because the day was too dazzling for him to escape.

Now it's finally dark at night.

Soon after, Gong Zhaoxi boarded a torpedo boat seconded from Ding Ruchang, and he was to go to Yantai in Ludong in the name of commercial grain and rice.

"General Gong Office, General Gong Office-"

Zhang Tinggui, a member of the Lushun Telegraph Office, shouted all the way and chased after him, shouting: "Jinzhou is not lost, Dalian is safe; Jinzhou is not lost, Dalian is safe! ”

It's a pity that the torpedo boat has already sailed out of Westport and headed towards Tiger Tail.

Golden State City.

The moonlight is bright.

He Changying sat in the Yonghe City Tower, with cigarette butts scattered at her feet.

Lin Yunyu, Wu Weiyang, Shen Zhaoao, Wang Shizhen, Peng Qianyan, Li Yuanhong, Meng Zhou, Yu Zeqing,——

The three top floors of the anti-Japanese army, and a group of officers of the General Staff Office, also stood quietly by the city wall, speechlessly looking at the lights of the Japanese camp in the distance and the clusters of burning paper all over the city.

The city is full of filial piety, and the cry is shocking.

"Commander-in-chief, don't smoke too much."

Zhao Xiaoliu, the platoon leader of the first platoon of the new guards in charge of He Changying's safety, couldn't help but persuade in a low voice.

"Anzhi, the imperial court has sent a call."

Jiang Zikang and Song Xi walked up to the city tower and handed the telegram to He Changying.

"Li Hongzhang was dismissed from his post, and his responsibility is temporarily supervised by the Military Affairs Department? - I said you remember; ”

He Changying turned his head and said to his new adjutant Huang Bojie: "The defense of Lushun Military Port, Wei Naval Port, and the affairs of the Navy Division have always been presided over by Li Hongzhang. The military affairs office should have an overview of the military affairs in the northeast, southern Liaoning, eastern Ludong, and the coastal areas, and select another soldier who can supervise the war in the northeast, and order Li Hongzhang to supervise the southern Liaoning and naval divisions to guard the gateway to the Bohai Sea. ”

"Is it so appropriate, Anzhi, you have to figure it out; Now Li Hongzhang estimates that from the emperor, the court is clear, and down to the ordinary people, it is estimated that no one is not scolding him, and we can't wade into this troubled water. ”

Jiang Zikang, who was on the side, secretly glanced at Song Xi beside him and persuaded in a low voice.

"The generals of Lushun, as well as the Beiyang Naval Division, are all unruly; Except for Li Hongzhang, who can hold it down for a while? ”

He Changying said this in his mouth, but he didn't realize it in his heart, even Song Qing wisely changed his arms before, not to mention the garbage in Lushun Military Port.

The reason why he did this was to establish an isolation buffer in front of the anti-Japanese army and the emperor, and looking at the Qing Dynasty ministers who were very dissatisfied with the emperor and were not loyal to the ministers, the old fritter Li Hongzhang was obviously the best choice.

Moreover, there is something that He Changying is unwilling to admit in his heart, Li Jingpu's bright eyes, and the thin shadow that will blow down when the wind blows.

"Today's incident, although the anti-Japanese army has won a big victory, I don't feel a trace of joy, but shame!"

He Changying's voice suddenly became louder: "As a soldier, we can't defend the land, and watching innocent people being slaughtered is our shame!" ”

He Changying stood up: "All departments return to their posts and prepare for tomorrow's war, the blood shed by the people today, tomorrow we will get it back from these Japanese soldiers; Mountain Genji, one day, I will hang him at the gate of Jinzhou with my own hands! ”

This night, the night was cold and long, He Changying's family, one by one, walked over and kowtowed to each of the dead.

At four o'clock in the morning, He Changying walked through the city with bloodshot eyes, and when he walked up to the Yonghe City Tower again, he was extremely tired and sat on a chair drinking ginger tea.

This Golden State City seems to have become one with his soul.

He Changying said in a cold voice and unquestionably: "Adjutant Huang, tell the General Staff to formulate a battle plan, and today I will completely annihilate the Japanese First Cavalry Brigade in Tokyo." ”

Chuangjialou, the base camp of the first division of the Japanese army.

The mountain Yuanzhi couldn't sleep at night, walked up a high slope, and looked at Jinzhou City in the distance.

The city is red, it should be those people who are burning paper money.

Yamachi Genji did not regret ordering the slaughter of the city at all, he just deeply regretted that he should not take it lightly and transfer the Second Brigade assembled outside Jinzhou City back to Chuangjialou for repairs.

Just thinking about the Saito Brigade that was wiped out by the whole army, Genji Yamachi is heartbroken.

"Baga, this cunning Qing army is really bad, and they all deserve to hell!"

While cursing loudly at the Qing army in the direction of Jinzhou City on the opposite side, he had a headache about how to rescue the three squadrons of the cavalry brigade that were caught in the sandwich.

Akiyama Yoshiya is already fierce and unlucky, and if these three cavalry squadrons are lost, the entire 1st Division will have no cavalry units.

What an embarrassing shame it would be if the news came back to China!
