There are some things that Ding Ruchang still hasn't seen through, but he has his own intuition, but on the ground of the Qing Dynasty, many things are seen through, let alone explained.

What's more, he is still far from seeing through.

So he can only point to Liu Buyun here, and the rest is to rely on his own understanding.

Dingyuan ship, stern.

"I repeat, after returning to Jinmen, I will be a dumb man for Lao Tzu, I should not say it, and I will sew my mouth firmly if I can't say it; You can't contact any relatives and friends, and you can go directly to the station. ”

Liu Gangzi whispered with a big face: "Just like the oath you made when you joined the society, not for enjoyment, but to break this broken house and build a new world with the commander-in-chief; Disband! ”

"Kill!"

A group of officers of the anti-Japanese army who stood straight roared in unison.

"Will Ding Ruchang agree, you are full of food and support, and you have nothing to do?"

Liu Gangzi walked to Wang Shizhen, who was looking at the sea from the side of the boat, and handed him a cigarette: "This sea breeze is really cold!" ”

"Be your peerless general, it's too detouring, you can't figure it out, but it makes your brain more mushy."

Wang Shizhen changed the topic: "This Shanhaiguan is not easy to guard, Western countries, Hiroshima base camp, and Shan County have friends, and if you make a mistake, you will break the customs, and if you don't do it well, it will be a monstrous disaster." ”

"It's really tiring to talk to the people in your staff, it's all like dancing like a god, babbling around the bend; The big deal is a life, the commander-in-chief is not afraid, I am still afraid of a fart! Yawn—"

Liu Gangzi yawned and said: "I went to sleep, I was nagged by Chen Shijie all night last night, and I fell asleep." ”

The Forbidden City, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.

"Let the foreigners lead the troops? One Austro-Hungarian army colonel, two lieutenant colonels, two captains. ”

Guangxu looked at He Changying's eight-hundred-mile urgency, a little surprised, and then a little moved.

In the fight against the Taiping Army, it was with the help of Gordon's foreign guns that the embarrassed Hunan Army stabilized the Shanghai defense line, and finally counterattacked and destroyed the Taiping Army step by step.

And Guangxu still has a faint thought, and he doesn't even dare to show the slightest sprout, in his opinion, foreigners are always a hundred times more at ease than these generals to lead.

The Taiping Army of that year was a living example and a lesson of blood.

After the capture of Nanjing, the three or four thousand elite soldiers of the foreign gun team withdrew in a word, and they withdrew when they said that they would withdraw, but it was just a little silver, and there was no sequelae afterwards.

However, those Hunan Huai Chu troops not only spent a lot of money, but also hid the vast amount of property of the Taiping army, and after the split, the imperial court thought that the world would be peaceful.

As a result, the Xianghuai forces began to spread their branches and leaves, and the party colluded with different layers of warfare, and the forces soon spread all over the world, resulting in the current bad situation in which the tail cannot be dropped.

This time, Guangxu skillfully used his strength to defeat Beiyang with the East, and naturally did not want new forces to appear that could challenge the authority of the imperial court.

He was pleased to see that He Changying took the initiative to split the Korean aid army into the Xinsheng Army, the Anti-Japanese Army, the Mao Chao Army, and Li Bohu's Army.

Seeing that Liu Kun was crazy about collecting the Beiyang industry, he immediately appointed Wang Wenshao as the deputy minister of Beiyang, and the same was true for Liu Kun to Shanhaiguan.

Including the division of the Shanhaiguan army into two, which was controlled by Liu Kunyi and Li Jingfang respectively, the same consideration is also true.

In Guangxu's view, He Changying and Jia Qisheng, Xu Bangdao are two veterans together, He Changying is of course the old Jia, and Xu is the head of the horse.

The two Beiyang veterans, plus Li Jingfang, the eldest son of Old Man Li, have an army of nearly 10,000 people, which is obviously not a good thing; And according to the itinerary, Old Man Li will enter Beijing today, and he will go to see the old witch tomorrow.

Don't make any more moths!

"Accurate!"

Guangxu quickly made up his mind, and praised He Changying in his heart,—— this is really a Geng Zhong general who is dedicated to the court!

On the 22nd day of the lunar month, except for a small naval battle in the sea area of Yingchengzi at the mouth of the Bohai Sea, the rest of the places were not alarmed.

Along the Yalu River, the cavalry regiment stopped advancing when it reached Langtou Town, while Xu Ru and Seinfeld continued to reverse the river.

Seinfeld and his second intelligence department will be like Andong County, cutting the cables of Yiju City before the battle breaks out, and at the same time will be responsible for blasting the gates of Yiju City and Jiulian City. ”

And Xu Ru and Shen Yuedong will go back to convey the instructions to Wang Guanji on joint operations, and at the same time mobilize the people in Shuifeng and Shuozhou to go to Dadonggou to transport supplies.

Fang Dahai, who had lost 800 troops, received a telegram from Lushun to suspend all military operations, and the flag was silenced.

Chinese and North Korean soldiers went into the mountains to hunt with guns in their hands, and fished in the lake with nets, preparing to celebrate a good year of abundance.

Oshima Yoshimasa and Toushanhai, who felt that the Qing and Japanese guerrillas had begun to stop, also asked the soldiers to go to the Datong River to peck at the ice and fish, intending to have a good year of fish every year.

The main force of the Japanese First Army, which was temporarily resting in Huludao, had not yet received a report from Yamaguchi Suchen's fast horse, and was also busy preparing all kinds of meat and rice for tomorrow's 23rd lunar month.

The large army would then embark on a long six-day march to reach Shanhaiguan on the Chinese New Year's Eve.

In Lushun, Dalian, and Shanhaiguan, both sides of the Qing Dynasty and Japan restrained their respective positions, and were vigilant from afar.

On this day, Prince Gong, who was in Tongzhou, suddenly had a leg attack, and asked another Neng Chen to go to the customs.

Li Hongzhang's carriage also quietly drove into Yanjing City, resting in a small courtyard of the Li family, preparing to enter the Summer Palace tomorrow to meet Cixi.

More than 100 people from Reinhard, Yuan Shikai, and Tang Shaoyi came to the Shuicheng Gate of the Great Wall at Kowloonkou at noon.

Luo Minglei and Huang Bojie are young officers, but they still can't play with officialdom veterans like Yuan Shikai and Tang Shaoyi.

What's more, the two of them didn't believe it at all, there was no way back to the customs, and He Changying was willing to put the five foreign uncles in such a dangerous place outside the customs.

Early this morning, the abnormality of the five Austro-Hungarian officers was quickly noticed by the two, and Tang Shaoyi reluctantly had a friendly exchange with the simple Karl in American English, knowing that in the upper reaches of the Jiujiang River, there was a pass back to the pass.

Yuan Shikai, the old fritter, of course, understands the principle of 'being a man and leaving a line, and looking for each other in the future', and after going to Luo Minglei for some Tai Chi, even soft and hard, Luo Minglei agreed with Yuan Shikai and Tang Shaoyi took his personal soldiers back to the customs.

As for the 153 Ludong Army, 29 Xinfeng Army, and 16 Banner Soldiers, they did not dare to enter the pass at this time, and they had no choice but to express their willingness to fight with the independent battalion.

And Nie Guilin directly rejected Yuan Shikai's 'kindness', and told Luo Minglei that if he was allowed to enter the customs, he would be killed by a headlong collision now, and as a result, the 31 Yi soldiers who escorted Nie Guilin could not be returned, but in addition to cursing a few words behind his back, he could only follow the independent battalion with his fate.

At this point, including Nie Guilin, the Shanhaiguan Independent Battalion absorbed 230 troops at once, and the total strength expanded to nearly 800 people.

"This Nie Guilin is really like a monkey."

Standing on the lake of the Great Wall at the Nine Gates, waiting for the soldiers defending the city to ask their adults to decide, Yuan Shikai looked stunned.

If you bring Nie Guilin, a prisoner, into the customs this time, you won't be too concerned about returning to the customs if you want to come to the imperial court, but now that you don't have this 'bargaining chip', the road to customs will be very difficult.
