"If you keep fighting, what will you fight?"

Ye Zhichao sneered on his face: "The adults at the head of each battalion are all commanders of the general army, and no one obeys anyone's assignment, and it is good if a ball of loose sand can not tear down the stage and sing a duet; A division is an iron fist with five fingers together, which one can stop it? ”

Ye Zhichao's words, listening to the generals around him were silent, everyone understands these truths. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, the Manchu court has always guarded against the self-respect of the generals, deliberately dismantling the army into large and small mountains, and then creating all kinds of unfair contradictions among the generals.

In this way, the Qing Dynasty is stable, but the army's combat strength has become vulnerable.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Sheng Army of Wei Rugui of the Qing Army, the Luyu Defense Army of Ye Zhichao and Nie Shicheng, the Yi Army of Zong Qing, and the Sixth Battalion of the Renzi Army of Wu Yuren represent the highest level of military strength of the Qing Army.

Since these four armies can't do it, whoever comes to the defense line of the Yalu River is in vain!

This time he retreated to Yizhou, and he didn't need to think about Ye Zhichao to know that he would have no good fruit to eat, at least this presidential leader would definitely not be able to do it.

But that's fine, whoever can go up, see who has the ability to make a flower.

I have been greedy for so much money over the years, and I am an old man of sixty-six or seventeen years old, and I should go back to retire and become a rich man.

"The military gate may not know that the No. 16 reinforcement army raided the artillery position of the Yoshima Yoshima Department of the Japanese Army, and annihilated more than 400 Japanese troops inside and outside, destroyed all the artillery of the Ninth Brigade and Regiment, and killed the captain of the Japanese artillery brigade, Nagata Kameshosa."

Nie Shicheng said faintly, looking convinced.

If you don't accept it, you can't do it, look at others, and compare your own army.

Stand out!

"How is that possible?"

Ye Zhichao and Wei Rugui, Jiang Zikang, Ma Yukun, Sun Xianyin, Lu Benyuan and other generals around him were all shocked.

"This kid can really blow, just his 500 or so people who went south, this time there is no geographical advantage of Dongxian Ridge, and there is no more than one in Shun'an Yi, they can annihilate so many Japanese soldiers under the noses of tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers?"

Wei Rugui looked incredulous: "Anyway, it doesn't cost money to brag, and it's up to him to say whether it's true or false." ”

Ye Zhichao next to him blushed when he heard this, and felt that Wei Rugui was scolding Huai, implying his suspicion.

"It's true; The court preached this very much before, but it was just to boost morale and save some face in front of Western countries, in fact, everyone didn't know the bottom of their hearts, thinking that since the Korean army said so, there should have been a battle-"

Ye Zhichao's face turned even redder.

However, yesterday the Western Military Observer Group sent a telegram from Pyongyang to the consulates that a group of Qing troops attacked the Pyongyang Jiangzuo Japanese soldiers and annihilated more than 400 people; Moreover, 37 Japanese prisoners were unconditionally released afterwards; ”

Nie Shicheng showed a look of surprise and said: "Western military strategists are full of praise for He Changying, saying that he is a general with a benevolent heart. ”

The generals were silent, and they were all so ashamed that their faces were bloody.

"Now the meaning of Zhongtang is to see what plans General He of Anzhou City has; However, an order has been issued that before the reinforcement army retreats to Yizhou, the Yizhou armies cannot cross the Yalu River north without a single soldier! ”

Nie Shicheng continued: "The Anzhou side sent a telegram to the Governor Yamen yesterday that more than 1,000 defenders of Suzhou have crossed the Daqing River and are now on their way back to Yizhou; However, there are still more than 1,000 Feng troops, more than 300 Renzi troops, and 65 people in the Cao Kun outpost of the Yi Army who chose to stay in Anzhou; There are also thirty-nine wounded soldiers of the Sheng Army, the Luyu Army, and the Jilin Lian Army, who were treated in Anzhou; This matter has been reported to the imperial court, and the emperor has issued an order today to assign all the training troops from all walks of life in Anzhou to the Korean army. ”

Hearing that as to whether to defend Yizhou with heavy troops, Zhongtang actually didn't ask the generals, but wanted to ask for the opinion of He Changying, a hanging hairy child in his early twenties and only full of hair; And all the people had different colors.

This He Changying, more than a month ago, was still a small six-grade sentry with a sesame size, and he was also a deserter who was about to be beheaded.

It's only been a few days, but it's already famous.

Now it is actually the Zhongtang that attaches great importance to, 'Jane is in the heart of the emperor', and he is a powerful general with thousands of military strength.

Lord Zhongtang is now seventy-two years old, and as the old saying goes, 'people are rare in seventy years', and it seems that he can't be in charge of Beiyang for a few years.

Before, everyone was still privately discussing that as a key cultivation of one article and one martial arts in the middle hall, Yuan Shikai and Sheng Huaixuan were too young after all.

However, it was only a few days later, and another Beiyang star soared into the sky like a meteor, making it impossible to see.

"This kid is only twenty-three years old this year!"

As He Changying's old leader, Jiang Zikang naturally knew a lot of things about He Changying, and at this time he couldn't help but say to himself a little distractedly: "The twenty-three-year-old leading staff general leads two or three thousand elite soldiers; It's not a royal family, it's not the Eight Banners, it's all based on your own ability, we haven't had it since the Qing Dynasty, right? ”

A heart-wrenching thought suddenly poured into the minds of the generals, if this kid goes well, he will take over the power of Beiyang in the next ten years.

What kind of terrifying scene will a Beiyang tyrant who is just in his early thirties and can be civil and martial arts be?

Even Zeng Guofan and Li Zhongtang didn't reach this height.

In that case, it is estimated that the person in the Forbidden City will not be able to sleep!

Everyone looked at each other tacitly, and quickly looked away, and their bodies trembled.

It's better for everyone to get promoted and get rich and play with women, these taboo things, it's best to stay as far away as possible, don't even think about it.

Anju City.

The generals of the reinforcement army gathered together and sat in the lobby of the Anju Mansion.

In the past two days, there have been continuous telegrams between Anzhou and Jinmen, and yesterday's reward from the imperial court was sent.

He Changying, the battalion officer of the Korean aid army, and Wu Weiyang, the deputy battalion officer, were promoted to the rank of general of the third grade.

Wu Weiyang appreciated the name of Baturu and gave flowers.

Each gave a hundred taels of gold, a knife, a fire sickle, and other treasures.

Mao Chao, Qi Youwei, Lu Tiejiao, and the title of Wupin garrison, each rewarded with 100 taels of silver.

The soldiers of various departments in Anzhou were allowed to be included in the Korean aid army, and the source of the army was approved to be 2,500 people, and equipment and food were paid accordingly.

This time, the governor Yamen asked He Changying to report the head, so as to give the officers in the Korean aid army a meritorious post, but Lin Yunyu, Shen Zhaoao, Hao Tiansheng, Li Zhenhua, and the four of them directly refused.

In their words, being a soldier is not for promotion and wealth.

It was Mao Chao, Qi Youwei, Lu Tiejiao, and a few people were a little eager to try.

He Changying thought that if he didn't report it, the court might start to have some ideas, so he reported four of them.

As for Wu Weiyang, after the victory in Dongxian Ridge, he made his attitude clear.

As an overseas Chinese who grew up in Luzon, studied in Germany, and worked as a superintendent in Surabaya, he had no interest in the hat of the Qing Dynasty.

But this time He Changying still reported him, otherwise it would be too dazzling.

As a result, the imperial court was really prepared for danger in times of peace, and began to take precautions, deliberately mentioning Wu Weiyang's official position to the same level as He Changying.

This is not to say that the imperial court is wary of He Changying, a small general with more than a thousand soldiers, the bigwigs of the imperial court really don't have such idle and boring whims.

It's an inertial mindset that has been cultivated over the years.

Whether it was Zeng Guofan back then, or Li Hongzhang before, the imperial court was also divided and controlled in this way.
