And at this time, Emperor Guangxu of the Great Qing Dynasty, who was sitting in the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, also had a headache.

Wang Wenshao, the head of the military department of the 'Jinsheng Battalion'.

Changlu Salt Transport Envoy Hu Liao, co-named Horse Factory New Army Instructor Hannagan.

Cheng Wenbing, the governor of Fujian stationed in Zhangjiawan on the banks of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in Tongzhou.

Dong Fuxiang, the commander of the Gan army, who was stationed in Jizhou.

The 'Ruiwu Army' leads Zhirui.

Li Bingheng, governor of Ludong.

There is also a general of the Hunan army who is still on the way to Beijing, and Hu Dahui, the governor of Hunan.

These veterans have come one after another.

In the recital, the veterans all expressed their loyalty and patriotism, and they wanted to stand with the blood of the Japanese children to the end, and they must let these Japanese children who do not know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth know the majestic means of my brilliant Qing Dynasty.

Then he changed the topic of brushing and brushing, and began to complain about the lack of guns and ammunition, and the empty intention to kill the enemy, but he suffered from the fact that 'it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice', and there is no sharp weapon to control the enemy.

In the end, the lion opened his mouth wide, asking for thousands of guns, hundreds of thousands of Western-refined bullets, and ten or twenty Western-style cannons.

patted his chest in the fold and said that as long as the guns are in hand, they will definitely make the Japanese fall into the water, and the soul will be lost.

Seeing these twists and turns, although Guangxu was embarrassed, he was still happy from the bottom of his heart.

This shows that the courtiers below have a strong fighting spirit, not like Ye Zhichao and others who fled all the way in the prison, and Ding Ruchang and others who hid in Weihaiwei and did not leave Hong Kong, so timid and afraid of the enemy like rats.

but all of them are loyal and brave, and they are dedicated to killing the enemy and serving the country.

It's really commendable!

"These generals and ministers, all of whom are important ministers of the court at such an old age, how can they talk about children; The opening is 35,000 guns, 10 and 20 guns, how many ordnance is there in this ship? No matter how it is divided, the Shanhaiguan side has to take the big head. ”

Guangxu put down the fold and rubbed his head with a headache and funny.

Since Shanhaiguan has received two consecutive successes, Guangxu's heart has been lifting up these days, and he has let go of it a lot.

This proves that the Japanese soldiers are not as sharp as the fugitive generals say, and they have continuously increased the number of troops in Shanhaiguan recently, and now it is an army of 20,000.

Coupled with the 45th Battalion of Xiangchu Warriors who will arrive soon, in Guangxu's view, more than 30,000 troops are standing on the front line of Shanhaiguan, and they dare not say anything about the attack, and there is absolutely no problem in defending it.

Ten years ago, Nie Shicheng took the initiative to go to Taiwan to fight the French fleet under the circumstance that the generals shirked and avoided the war, which made Guangxu have a very good impression of him.

Otherwise, at this moment of crisis, Guangxu would not have personally ordered Nie Shicheng and let him serve as the commander of Zhili and preside over the defense of Zhili.

And Xu Bangdao, a veteran who openly dared to disobey that old thing in Jinzhou and fought with the Lianshun coalition army, Guangxu also admired it very much.

As for the tall, handsome, sunny and burly He Changying, Guangxu is not just a simple admirer and impression.

It's an inexplicable emotion.

Whether it is He Changying's thought-provoking book, his majestic poems.

His indulgence in Jinmen is willful, and he is happy to take revenge.

Or his sunny and casual, naturally unpretentious, his strong burly, slightly dark skin, tall man, water chestnut face, bright and slightly sharp confident eyes.

Or his series, glorious and glaringly undefeated.

In He Changying's body, Guangxu saw a kind of manly strength that belonged to young China, and he was as tall and majestic.

And these are what Guangxu lacks.

Or the things that are suppressed by this lifeless Forbidden City, and are extremely envious of what they desire.

In the depths of Guangxu's emotions, He Changying's current life is exactly the kind of life that he is ideal and envies.

Freedom, freedom, blood, hard work.

Guangxu grew up in the deep palace since he was a child, with a weak and gloomy personality, and he is very easy to get angry impulsively.

And He Changying is just like his opposite, strong and sunny, when he thinks about it, he can see that his eyes are flashing with wisdom from time to time.

Guangxu often fantasized that he could gallop on the war horse, command thousands of troops and horses, and be invincible.

But he can only stay in this cramped and cramped Forbidden City, patiently all day long, to face those old foolish and dumb ministers who rely on the old and sell the old.

is always on guard against the gloomy and depressing gaze projected in the depths of the Summer Palace.

Weng Tongyi, who was waiting on the side, looked at the joy in his student's eyes, how could he not know Guangxu's thoughts.

He first gave Guangxu a sycophant and said: "Congratulations to the emperor, now the heart is available, the whole body is united, and the whole heart is determined to kill the widows and make meritorious contributions; The army will be wiped out in the near future. ”

"Well, the teacher said it well; It's just that now the matter of firearms, how to get it right? ”

Facing a group of 'crying' Wenchen generals, Guangxu really couldn't make up his mind for a while.

Weng Tongyi said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, the courtiers are full of blood, it is not appropriate to chill their hearts!" ”

"Yes, yes, that's what it means; What does the teacher think should be done? ”

Guangxu saw Weng Tongyi point out the key to it, and couldn't help nodding again and again, thinking that the teacher still understood his worries.

"Now there are 20,000 troops stationed in Shanhaiguan, although the armies in the pass are short of guns, but if the Japanese want to break through the pass, they can only pull out the three cities outside the pass first, and the three cities outside the pass are almost every man with a gun, and the ammunition is sufficient;"

Weng Tongyi had already thought of a statement in his heart, but he deliberately touched his beard and pretended to groan: "Therefore, Shanhaiguan seems to lack guns and ammunition, but in fact, there is no shortage. ”

Guangxu thought for a while, looked up and said in surprise: "What the teacher said is too reasonable!" As long as the three cities outside the gate are as safe as a rock, the armies inside the pass do not need too many guns, and the three cities outside the gate now have a rifle, and the rest of the cooking, transporting ammunition, and repairing barracks and fortifications do not need guns at all. ”

If Liu Kunyi was here, he would euphemistically start playing Guangxu, and the account is not calculated like this.

If Nie Shicheng is here, he will sincerely start Guangxu, and he must ensure that the Qing army on both flanks of Guancheng has enough firepower to prevent the Japanese from being unable to attack the three cities outside Guanwai for a long time and choose to break through from other locations.

If he was here, he would ignore Weng Tongyi, a selfish old bastard, but argue with him, and secretly curse 'bullshit' and 'Ni paralysis' in his heart!

However, now there is only this second-class hot-blooded young man Guangxu in the palace, and this cunning and shameless Weng Tong, who only remembers personal grievances and has no public heart for the country.

"In the opinion of the old minister, since all the generals have complained and expressed their determination, it is better to divide them evenly according to the number of people and the number of guns in their hands now; So that no one complains or speaks of injustice. ”

Weng Tonggong finally said the trick in his heart.

In his opinion, Nie Shicheng and the Beiyang Army outside the Guanwai, as long as they honestly guard the Shanhai Pass, if they are given these sharp weapons, it will be a great victory if they are not careful.

So some time ago, it took so much effort to disintegrate Beiyang and drive Li Hongzhang out of power, wouldn't it all be done in vain?

It is best to be in the three cities outside the Guan, and the Japanese and Beiyang armies will be defeated and wounded, and that is the most wonderful thing.

In the afternoon of the same day, Guangxu counted the number of troops and the existing guns and weapons, and then immediately disassembled and distributed the 10,000 rifles and artillery pieces in what he thought was perfect.
