"It's hateful to be surrounded by the Japanese army, otherwise the emperor will go out to Beijing to patrol and hunt, and this battle will continue to fight with the Japanese army, and he will always be able to win these pigs and dogs!"

Jia Qisheng also had an angry face: "There are also these Western devils, it's not that they deceive, there is Nie Junmen desperately rushing to report the news, how can the emperor be trapped in Beijing?" ”

"After the fall of Shanhaiguan, Zhang Zhidong sent a telegram to the imperial court, put forward the idea of moving the capital, and pointed out the weakness of the Japanese army; He went on an expedition alone, relying on sea transportation for food and ammunition, and the army was weak according to the rules of division of troops, and if he did not follow the rules, he would not be able to support it if he was defeated. ’”

He Changying slowly read out Zhang Zhidong's original words in the fold, and continued in a deep voice:

"On the night Liu Kunyi arrived in Luanzhou, he also sent a telegram to the imperial court, 'If you have money to pay compensation, it is better to use soldiers for two years. In addition, after two years of military service, the salary required is not more than tens of millions, which is less than half of the indemnity, and the more he spends; The word 'long-lasting' is really essential for the current system. ’”

Seeing that everyone was silent, but with a look of 'it should be so' in their eyes, He Changying sneered:

"If this is not decided, Nie Shicheng hurried two hundred miles to inform the imperial court that Jizhou was defeated, and the imperial court was still unwilling to leave Beijing after receiving a guarantee from the Western minister that the Japanese army would not enter Yanjing; Why is that? ”

Why is that?

A very simple question, but Xu Bangdao, Jia Qisheng, and Tang Shaoyi, who were standing on the city wall, all fell into thought.

However, He Changying didn't give them much time to think, with a slight sarcasm in her mouth, she said faintly: "Because they are afraid." ”

Because they're afraid!

Xu Bangdao and Jia Qisheng were confused, but Tang Shaoyi looked up at He Changying in shock, and then hurriedly turned his head to look at the rising sun outside the city, so as not to let people see the look in his eyes.

"Exchanging space for time and dragging the Japanese army to death little by little is something that can be done; There is no shortage of discerning people in the imperial court, and it is not that no one understands, and the Meiji of the East, Ito Hirobumi, is not stupid; That's why Britain helped Toyo to pass through Jinmen and sent Kuroki Weizhen to Tongzhou to stop the madness of Yama County Youpeng! ”

"An Zhi, are you saying that the imperial court is unwilling to win this war?"

Jia Qisheng felt unbelievable when he heard it.

"If you can win the war, of course it is the best, but it must be under the control of the absolute authority of the imperial court, large and small, scattered sand to win; And there must be a premise, the royal family must not leave Beijing, maintaining the rule of the imperial court is the first place, abandoning Yanjing, it is likely to trigger a series of chains, and even shake the foundation of the royal family's rule. ”

He Changying looked at the three people with pale faces beside him, and said with a sneer: "So when it comes to choosing between leaving Beijing and surrendering and ceding land compensation, of course they will choose the latter, so that they can continue their rule!" ”

"Whew-"

There was a breeze on the city wall, and the sun rose into the sky early, but the three people on the city wall were still shivering by the spring breeze.

The words I heard in my ears are all some rebellious words, and if they are spread, they can destroy the nine clans!

This spring, why is it so cold!

"It's not more than nervous, the court won't and won't dare to tear its face easily; Now for me He Changying, the anti-Japanese army, including the former Beiyang Army, Huai Department, Hunan Army, Li Zhongtang, Zeng Guofan. They are accustomed to soft knives, making yin moves ,—— hehe, or borrowing strength to fight like using the East to consume the North Ocean. ”

When He Changying said, 'It's like using the East to consume the North Ocean, borrowing strength to fight', a trace of inexplicable luster appeared on his face.

When they heard 'Li Zhongtang, Zeng Guofan', Xu Bangdao and Jia Qisheng, their faces were slightly better-looking.

This shows that He Changying has the idea of equating herself with Li Zeng's second duke, as long as the court does not tear her face for the time being, everyone seems to be able to live in peace for the time being.

As for the future, both of them are fifty-eight or nineteen years old, how many more days can they jump? Can't think that far ahead.

"Now that the imperial court has figured out Toyo's intentions, and Toyo also knows the bottom line of the imperial court, then-"

Tang Shaoyi's hoarse voice said bitterly: "The next should be an armistice and peace; It's just that what can I do in the future of the anti-Japanese army? ”

The three of them all looked at He Changying worriedly, from fighting the peace to twisting the zigger, and then to fighting with France, the imperial court had long used their set of techniques skillfully.

"If my guess is correct, before the official signing takes effect, there may be another battle for Naoli, a real vicious battle;"

He Changying looked at the sun that was gradually exerting heat in the east, and said coldly: "In the name of not moving troops, the imperial court suppressed the anti-Japanese army in Langfang City, if the main force of the Japanese army suddenly moved to attack, it would be a battle to the death!" ”

Xu Bangdao and the three of them were shocked.

"That's why An Zhi quietly put the reconnaissance company outside the city, right? But if that's the case, it's too chilling! ”

Jia Qisheng still couldn't believe it.

"Why are you chilling? Before the contract was signed, it meant that there was no armistice, why couldn't the Japanese army attack us! Just like the current Ludong, who can do what? In addition, if the Japanese army really suddenly marched east to attack Langfang, the imperial court would definitely be very angry and protest against the Japanese army, demanding an immediate cessation of the war. Huh-"

Tang Shaoyi figured it out, her eyes were blood-red, and she smiled nervously: "Maybe after you and my brother die in battle, the court will give you a big compensatory reward!" ”

Tang Shaoyi was born in Xiangshan, Guangzhou, and at the age of 12, he went to the United States in the Far East, studied at Columbia University, and stayed in the United States for seven years.

At this time, Tang Shaoyi, who had thought of something, looked at He Changying in shock and asked, "Since An Zhi understands, why do you want to enter this place of death, and let the army go north?" ”

"If you don't go north, you can't wait for me——, time!"

He Changying said a sigh that Tang Shaoyi and the three of them couldn't understand, and then said: "Langfang City is small, plus Wan Benhua's 4 outposts, 4,000 military horses are almost enough to defend the city, and as long as it can be held for three days, the army on the other side of Jinmen will come to reinforce." Old Tang, don't look at me like that, the emperor's holy decree requires all troops to enter Langfang City, the army of Jinmen Tanggu must not move recklessly, the world is quiet and the mouth is shining, what can I do? Besides, all this is just a guess. ”

"Anzhi, how do you ——, you let me say hello?"

Tang Shaoyi was so angry that he was helpless.

"Brother Tang, don't worry, when have you ever seen An Zhi really suffer after so long? When I think about it, I already have a plan in my heart. ”

Xu Bangdao and He Changying have cooperated for so long, of course they know his terrifying plan step by step, and when they saw Tang Shaoyi's anxious flushed face, they couldn't help but smile and comfort.

When he was dedicated to serving the country and his family, Mougins heard others ruthlessly reveal that he might have become a thorn in the side of the court, and this bloody truth would not feel good in anyone's heart.

"Anzhi, is that so?"

Tang Shaoyi looked at He Changying with a wistful expression.

"Hmm,"

He Changying nodded very seriously, and when Tang Shaoyi was just relieved a little, he continued: "But the guns have no eyes, and who dares to assert that they will win on the battlefield?" However, the Japanese army is also human, and they have killed them so many times, this time 9,000 against 28,000, I don't believe that it is the end of death; Let's have a happy bloody battle, and we have to indulge in indulgence once in a lifetime! ”

"What a 'gotta indulge once!' , I followed! ”

Xu Bangdao laughed.

"Yes, the old man's old bones are the end of the battle, and I will follow!"

Jia Qisheng also laughed heroically.

Seeing the three of them looking at her, Tang Shaoyi said with a bitter face: "Can I have any other choice?" ”

"It's gone! Haha-"

He Changying put his hands behind his back and looked at the north: "Brother Tang, if a person wants to be extraordinary, and wants to really do something good that can leave a name in history, he can't always be safe and stable, there must be a few times, and there must be a few times when he dares to stand on the dangerous rock!" ”
