Chapter 270: Decision-making

"Liaodong in winter is cold and harsh, and ordinary marching is a problem, let alone fighting?"

He Changying made a final summary: "I thought that our army could even completely abandon the Yalu River when necessary; The northwest retreated to the first line of Kuandian, Fenghuang and Xiuyan, and the southern part of Liaoning held the first line of Jinzhou and Dalian, dragging the Japanese army to death in the quagmire of eastern Liaoning.

After He Changying finished saying these words, she stopped squeaking and quietly waited for Li Hongzhang's choice.

"Jinzhou is the defense area of Shengjing General Yulu, and over the years, their Jiesheng battalion and Liu Shengxiu's department in Dalian have been filthy. ——”

You're old, when has it been, and you're still flipping through this old ledger?

He Changying lowered his head gently, not letting everyone see his disdainful eyes.

"——, not to mention that it is impossible for the imperial court to let Jinzhou and Dalian join forces; Just like the current defense line of the Yalu River, with the 4,000 military strength of Iketang Ana, the imperial court issued a clear decree, and Song Qing did not belong to each other. ”

Since he already regarded He Changying as his future second son-in-law in his heart, many of Li Hongzhang's words were no longer hidden.

After directly pointing out that the imperial court was afraid of the alliance between Beiyang and the banner soldiers, like Fengsheng'a and Zuo Guigui of North Korea, they were killed by the Beiyang generals.

"After Admiral Song waved his army to Jiulian City, Zhongtang had already ordered Jiang Guidi, the commander of the Yi Army, to recruit the four battalions of the Guizi Army, and the named Admiral Cheng Yunhe to recruit the four battalions of the Heyu Army and garrison the back road of Lushun; The six battalions of the Yi Army in the coastal forts in front did not transfer the Yalu River defense line with the Song Junmen this time, and still garrisoned the forts of Jinjinshan, Laotongzui, and Laohuwei, and Zhongtang had ordered them to recruit four more battalions; In this way, the entire Port Arthur will have more than 8,000 troops. ”

Zhang Peilun explained the situation in Lushun Dalian to He Changying: "Where was the first battalion of Liu Shengxiu left in Dalian, Zhongtang has sent Zhao Huaiye to recruit 6 battalions of new troops to defend the fort; There are 6 forts and 120 guns of various types in Dalian Bay, and the firepower is no less than that of Port Arthur, and it is not so easy for the Japanese to occupy easily. ”

A really TM dog-headed military division, Li Hongzhang uses such a guy to plan, how can he be undefeated?

He Changying didn't want to talk to Zhang Peilun when he heard it, my brother was talking about the landing operation of the Japanese army, but you said that Dalian's coastal defense, isn't this a donkey's lips and a horse's mouth?

"Xianggong, Lord He is talking about land warfare, why do you keep talking about coastal defense?"

Li Jurong next to her saw He Changying's cheeks twitching, and quietly rolled her eyes, and couldn't help but amusefully remind her husband that she had gone out of version when she spoke.

"What's wrong, not only can the cannon hit the warship, but the Japanese soldiers on the road are coming, don't they also bombard them?"

Zhang Peilun's old face turned red, and he was still hard-mouthed.

As the Qingliu master who was famous in Beijing that year, Zhang Peilun was a little lacking in others, but his tongue skills have always been first-class.

"Jing Fang, you send a letter to Wei Rucheng and Xu Bangdao, and ask them to recruit 5 battalions of soldiers each; Wei Rucheng strengthened Lushun, and Xu Bangdao went to Dalian Bay to assist in the defense. ”

Listening to Li Hongzhang's words, He Changying couldn't bear to roll her eyes, afraid that Li Jurong, a plump and charming little young woman, saw her own expression with sharp eyes.

It's recruiting recruits again, and the soldiers who haven't fired a shot are a fart?

To tell the truth, one battalion of his own can easily destroy his six or seven battalions, and he doesn't have to breathe!

"As for what you said about retreating to the northwest and letting go of the Yalu River, if I really dare to give such an order, tomorrow the old man will be the daytime that Wanfu refers to, a traitor! You don't have to fight to the point you said, you can rush back to Feixi, and the stench will be light for 10,000 years! ”

Li Hongzhang's words made the younger generations of the Li family in the house frightened, and He Changying had nothing to say when he heard it.

The Qing Dynasty of this trough egg is so twisted!

"Even if the Japanese really land in southern Liaoning, I don't care about Jinzhou, and I can't manage it, as long as we stick to our one-third of an acre of land in Dalian; After you return to Jiulian City, you must assist Song Qing and stabilize the defense line of the Yalu River; ”

"Now the powers of Britain, France, the United States, Germany, and Russia have all expressed their original intention to mediate, and Prince Yi, Li Hongzao, Gangyi, and Weng Tongyi have just been appointed as ministers of military aircraft; Especially Prince Yi, he has always had a good relationship with Westerners, and he has been refrigerated by Lafayette for 10 years, and he is about to do something, as long as you block the Japanese from the south of the Yalu River, this mediation will naturally come naturally. ”

After listening to Li Hongzhang's words, a room full of younger generations of the Li family looked at their old father with admiration.

In a few words, the war in Liaodong was properly arranged.

Sure enough, ginger is still old and spicy!

In this situation, what else can He Changying say? He could only nod his head in agreement.

But in my heart it was a sigh.

This Qing Dynasty, this Beiyang!

"Let's go, let's eat."

Although He Changying didn't come up with any effective methods, because of He Changying's words, Li Hongzhang's construction echelon of the Liaodong Guard War was suddenly clear, so he was still very happy in his heart, and this kid didn't run in vain.

Specifically, stick to the Yalu River, Dalian, and try not to go out and hang around.

It was slowly consumed until the East was hopeless in expanding its results, and honestly accepted the mediation of Western countries.

From now on, the world is peaceful!

He Changying was also hungry at this time, and when she heard that she was eating, she immediately stood up very happily.

A room full of people looked at He Changying strangely, and looked at Li Jingpu, who was so embarrassed that his face was pink, that it was very funny.

You must know that this is a family banquet, and after eating this tacit meal, this matter is settled.

Just waiting for the war to mediate in the future, He Changying, this kid, can come to the door with a shy face.

A large family gathered around and had a hearty breakfast, Li Hongzhang was happy today, and had a rare meal of two small bowls of eight-treasure porridge.

Then he told He Changying not to stay too long in Jinmen and rush back to the Yalu River defense line as soon as possible.

And then the face is heavy.

He's going to see off two of his old subordinates who have been with him for years.

"You should pay attention to the secrecy of your return to Jinmen, otherwise let the Qingliu of the court know that you will be impeached; In the evening, Chu Bao and I agreed that we would see you in the old place. ”

Li Jingfang put He Changying into the carriage, told him again and again, and then put down the curtain of the carriage, the carriage cooed, and drove out of the governor's yamen.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the carriage arrived at the new barracks of the Dagu reinforcement army, He Changying stepped out of the carriage, listening to the gunfire one after another, the loud military songs, and the slogans of the procession, and couldn't help but moisten his eyes.

For a common ideal, a common goal for the rise of the Chinese nation, whether it is in North Korea or in Jinmen, comrades-in-arms are running desperately.

Soon, the entire new military camp of the Korean Aid Army cheered and shook the sky!

"All the subjects of the crash course of more than 400 people in the first phase have been trained, 653 people have entered the camp in the second phase, and 6 people have been eliminated now, and it is expected that all the subjects can be trained in a week; The third phase has now screened 571 people, including 63 from Hong Kong and Nanyang, and there are new arrivals every day. ”

"The materials purchased by Jinmen have been completed, the new military uniforms have all been changed to yellow-brown and can be transported away at any time, and the new military camps have all been changed in advance; Bill's arms and supplies purchased in Europe, as well as five instructors of the Mountain Chaser Regiment of the Otobreast Empire, paused at the port of Assab on the Red Sea on the 28th, sending a telegram that is expected to have 50 days to go. ”

On the hillside, a group of training chiefs of the Korean reinforcement army stood beside He Changying, and Chen Shijie and Xiong Kaiyu, who had been notified by Li Jingfang's arrangement, were reporting on various things.

"Hey, isn't this kid He Changying, why did he come back?"

On the top of the Beiyi Fort in Dagu, Luo Rongguang heard the unusual commotion of the reinforcement army on the side today, so he went to the fort and looked around with a telescope.

Suddenly, I saw that on the hillside to the north, a guy wearing a yellow-brown new military uniform of the Korean Aid Army was very familiar, wasn't it He Changying's guy?

Luo Rongguang couldn't help but scream.
