"I don't believe the gossip of the government and the opposition, but he, Li Hongzhang, is in charge of the most elite training army and sailor in the Qing Dynasty, but he blindly avoids war and seeks peace, which is always a fact that everyone in the world sees!"

Guangxu was angry in his eyes: "Now the Sixth Route Army is gathering in Pyongyang and asking him to counterattack Seoul, but he shirks that 20,000 can only defend the city, and only 30,000 can counterattack, isn't it a joke?" ”

"Xiao Dongyang only has more than 10,000 troops in North Korea, and he was beaten by Ye Zhichao and Nie Shicheng in Asan and lost his armor. He, Li Hongzhang, occupies the right time, place and people, and is unwilling to send troops, how can he not make the government and the opposition wonder? ”

Weng Tongyi was silent when he heard this, in fact, he didn't have this idea in his heart. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Now the clear-eyed people of the entire Qing Dynasty can see it: it is easy for the Qing army to beat a small country in the East, and the key is that he Li Hongzhang is unwilling to fight!

In the final analysis, isn't it that he Li Hongzhang wants to preserve his strength, and is afraid that his Huai army and sailors will hurt their muscles and bones?

"In the Battle of Asan Ye Zhichao, since he defeated the 9th Infantry Brigade of Yoshimasa on the eastern island, why didn't he take advantage of the victory to pursue it, but instead retreated all the way north in a panic for 500 miles; Now that the Sixth Route Army is gathering in Pyongyang, why can't it cross the Taedong River and march south? It's not that you want to save your strength! ”

The more Guangxu spoke, the more annoyed he became, and he didn't care whether he was cautious or not, and sent the complaint that he had been holding back for many days towards his teacher:

"He, Li Hongzhang, kept saying that he wanted to transfer Liu Ming to North Korea, and he wanted to transfer the Nanyang Naval Division to the north to the coalition army; However, in the Battle of Toshima, the 'Jiyuan' ship ran away after fighting, and did not care about the life or death of the friendly ship 'Guangyi', causing the 'Guangyi' to run aground and burn down; 'Guangyi' was still a warship under the jurisdiction of his eldest brother of the Guangdong Naval Division, and they all dared to do it so blatantly, how could Zhang Zhidong dare to let the Nanyang Naval Division go north? ”

Weng Tongyi interjected on the side and said: "The key thing is that the Beiyang Naval Division is more than enough to deal with the small Oriental Fleet, and Li Zhongtang's approach will inevitably make Liangjiang suspicious." Now it is not a question of whether we can win the war, but whether we are willing to fight. ”

"What I'm angry about is this point of him Li Hongzhang!"

Guangxu said angrily: "The prince of the military aircraft department does not ask about the world, and the whole thing is a lump of soft mud; Erle and Bumuna were silent, and three sticks could not hit one - Xiang'er; Zhang Zhiwan was busy repairing the garden for his 'father', Sun Yuwen and Li Hongzhang wore a pair of pants, Xu Yongyi was also blindly the main peace, and I couldn't find a sensible person in my military aircraft department who could speak! ”

Weng Tongyi was silent, these people were all carefully selected by the Lafayette in the garden, and the emperor also had nowhere to vent his bitterness.

I just hope that when the garden is repaired, Lafayette will be able to live happily in it and live in it for a long time, and stop pointing fingers at the emperor.

By then, I should have been able to enter the military plane, right?

Guangxu vented, and his mood was much better, so he picked up the "Scream" on the table, and brought up the old things again: "Has the teacher read this strange book?" ”

Weng Tongyi nodded and said: "Your Majesty, after I got this book, I have read it three times inside and out, especially about the Prussian German Imperial Family in charge of the army, using iron-fisted figures such as Bismarck, and building the army of the German Empire into the first strong army in Europe; How inspiring! ”

Guangxu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and in his opinion, the biggest problem in the Qing Dynasty was not the problem of external troubles, but the fall of military power, especially the tiger of Beiyang lying on the side of the imperial capital.

Sometimes just thinking about it makes Guangxu's heart chill!

"This He Changying, I want to see him."

Guangxu looked at Weng Tongyi and said resolutely.

"No!"

Weng Tongying immediately screamed, and seeing the emperor's puzzled eyes, Weng Tongying said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I have already inquired, this He Changying was originally a sentry officer under Jiang Zikang, the deputy third battalion of the Beitang Lian Army. ”

"Wouldn't that be better! Such a talent, they actually let him be the general manager of a sesame big martial arts battalion, thinking that he must have been squeezed out very much, holding back his stomach, otherwise how could he hold back such a hot Qiwen? ”

When Guangxu heard this, he suddenly became even more energetic: "Teacher, let's lift him up, and with him, are you still grateful to Dade for serving the court desperately?" With the government and the opposition, it can also be an example for the world's scholars! ”

Weng Tongyi listened to it and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, it's too late!" ”

Guangxu smiled and asked, "What do you say?" ”

"Before this He Changying wrote this "Scream", he wrote a sacrificial essay of "Heroic Soul Sacrifice", which caused a sensation in Jinmen; Li Jingfang and Zhang Shiheng immediately invited him to drink flower wine, and became a 'good friend' with him, this time Ishikawa Wuyi's daytime case, the Tianjin Customs Road reported that He Changying tried the case, and he Changying wanted to ask for credit——"

Weng Tonggong distorted his old face, and he was also slandering Li Hongzhang's shamelessness in his heart,—— a triage spy who wrote articles? ——: "Gave a shortage of co-organizers of the garrison, and asked him to take the cadets of the Beiyang Military Academy and the Naval Academy to Pyongyang for training. ”

Then Weng Tongyi said meaningfully to Guangxu: "These cadets are Li Hongzhang's heart, and they are the foundation of the future Beiyang training army and sailors; He Changying went this time, and Pyongyang was as safe as Mount Tai, so he had to win the reputation of 'defending the border for the country', and it was rumored that he went to Pyongyang with Li Jingfang. ”

Guangxu's gaze suddenly froze, and his face turned cold: "The teacher is saying that Li Hongzhang is paving the way for the future?" ”

"This time Li Jingfang went back and forth, Ye Zhichao and they cooperated with Ying Jing'er to fight a few beautiful tough battles, and after the war, they had to protect an envoy, and they would be a feudal official in a few years!"

Weng Tongyi nodded solemnly: "Li Jingfang is the backbone, Sheng Huaixuan is in charge of money, Zhang Shiheng is in charge of ordnance, Yuan Shikai is in charge of foreign affairs, and He Changying is in charge of military training. ”

Guangxu was shocked when he heard this, and his face turned pale, but he immediately asked suspiciously: "Teacher, this training army is the foundation of Beiyang, how could Li Hongzhang give him so easily and rest assured, just by drinking a few meals of flower wine?" ”

Weng Tongyi said helplessly: "He is from Feixi, and it is reported that the elders of the family have a relationship with the Li family in Feixi. ”

"Hateful, hateful!"

Guangxu angrily threw the "Scream" in his hand on the ground.

"Your Majesty, don't waste things because of others, although we can't use this person, but the book is a good book; Especially regarding the German imperial family to take power and become a European power, I hope that Your Majesty can figure it out in his spare time. ”

Weng Tongyi picked up the book on the ground and put it on the table: "And Your Majesty, please look at this sentence, 'The country has been raising soldiers for two hundred and fifty years, sacrificing his life for the country, and it is now', the one who can say such righteous words is not a person who is loyal to the king and serving the country." ”

Listening to Weng Tongyi's words, Guangxu's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he hurriedly picked up the cover of "The Scream" to take a closer look.

"Yes, Teacher!"

Guangxu suddenly shouted happily again: "He Li Hongzhang simply underestimated the world's scholars, thinking that he would bend his waist for that mere five buckets of rice, and what he can give, I can also give, and more than he gives!" ”

At this time, Guangxu's eyes were bright, flashing with a holy and heroic light.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, listen to his words and deeds, and soon we will know what kind of character he He Changying is."

Weng Tongyi looked at his good student with satisfaction, and his old face showed a happy smile.
