At this moment, an attendant hurriedly walked in and said, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, Lord Sasaki, the Imperial Minister to the British Empire, has sent an urgent telegram!" ”

Emperor Meiji was shocked, and Ito Hirobumi and Yamaguchi Aritomo and others on the side also looked at the attendants. x download

Emperor Meiji shouted, "Read! ”

The attendant hurriedly opened the telegram and read: "To His Majesty the Emperor, the British Empire's sudden withdrawal of troops, Minister Sasaki still carried out urgent communication with the British Foreign Minister, at this time the British Government had to do it, the Speaker of the House of Lords, Sevan, set off a huge development movement in the United Kingdom, and at the same time prepared to promote the two houses to introduce a bill to prohibit the sending of troops, and to question the government authorities, Balfour was first forced to have no choice but to suddenly announce the withdrawal of troops, please understand the Japanese Empire, and at the same time said, The British Empire will provide a huge loan to the Empire as previously agreed to assist our Empire in the Sino-Japanese War......"

Waiting for the attendant to read the message, Emperor Meiji sat on his seat helplessly, this time I am afraid that Britain will really not send troops, Balfour is facing huge domestic social pressure, for his prime ministership, he will not be involved, as for France, without the British to take the lead, France will definitely not send troops alone, less than enough for the Chinese revolutionary army, too much, thousands of miles away, this kind of consumption is not a small amount.

Emperor Meiji looked at Hirobumi Ito and muttered, "Ito, now, what do you think we should do?" ”

Ito Hirofumi smiled bitterly and said: "It's difficult, Your Majesty, now we are really difficult to ride a tiger, just a war in Taiwan, if we withdraw our troops, it must be easy to say, now we have opened three battlefields in China, and now Zhang Yi's anger has been ignited, I'm afraid that if we want to stop, people won't agree......"

Youpeng of Shanxian gritted his teeth on the side and said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, it's a big deal, let's make a desperate bet and gamble with Zhang Yi, now it's not only uncomfortable for us, it's not much better than that Zhang Yi!" ”

Ito Hirofumi's face changed, and he said: "Yamasan-kun, this decision is not so easy to make, once the situation really deteriorates, we will have no way to end it!" ”

Yama Prefecture Youpeng replied: "Ito-kun, at least, we still have the support of Britain and France behind us, we are just fighting a war, the Republic of China is facing two wars at the same time, we have backup, they have no backup, relatively speaking, our chances of victory are greater!" ”

Ito Hirofumi snorted coldly and said, "Shan County-kun, don't forget, the weapons of the Chinese Revolutionary Army are far superior to those of the Imperial Army!" Let's not talk about the certainty of victory, not even half of the chance! Once defeated, how can we face the anger of the Republic of China? ”

Yama Prefecture Youpeng was just about to answer, and the Meiji Emperor in the middle shouted: "Okay, don't fight, let me think about it!" ”

Both of them fell silent. [x full works download]

After dozens of seconds, Ito Hirobumi suddenly muttered: "Your Majesty, it's better to ......"

Emperor Meiji glanced at Ito Hirobumi and said, "What's the matter, what is there to say, even if you say it, what is there not to say in front of me?" ”

Ito Hirobumi gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't you ask Akami Shangwen's opinion, after all, he had already expected the current result some time ago, and his vision is still very unique......"

Emperor Meiji's face changed, and he snorted coldly: "No need, I don't want a subordinate to see a real joke!" This is Shangwen immediately, and he will really kill him soon! ”

Ito Hirofumi and Yama Prefecture Youpeng were shocked, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I immediately saw that Shangwen was dedicated to the country, although his words were arrogant, and he was sincere, please don't worry about it, now the state affairs are important!" ”

Emperor Meiji snorted angrily, now let him kill Lijian Shangwen, but he will not want it to pull down his face and ask for advice to Lijian Shangwen, that is impossible to say.

Before Emperor Meiji could speak, another attendant ran in and said urgently: "Your Majesty, Commander Gentaro Kodama of North Korea is in a hurry!" ”

Emperor Meiji didn't speak, but Hirobumi Ito's eyes lit up and he said, "Read! ”

The attendant hurriedly read: "To His Majesty the Emperor Wan'an, the ministers immediately saw Shangwen and Kodama Gentaro to know about the withdrawal of the British and French troops, but I only expected that my empire has become a tiger riding force, and it is not easy for His Majesty to read hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers to train, don't take such a huge risk, once the army is defeated, the consequences are unimaginable!" ……”

Before the attendant finished reading, Emperor Meiji was furious, kicked the attendant down, and roared angrily: "Immediately see Shangwen, I really don't need you to teach you a lesson, I don't believe it, with my hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, I can't take a small three eastern provinces!" Let me rest the soldiers, I want to go to each other's mountains! ”

Ito Hirofumi secretly complained, this is a good opinion, everything is good, only to be outstanding, Wen can be Anbang, Wu can set the country, but this temperament is too upright, at this juncture, I don't know how to be tactful, isn't this adding fuel to the fire?

However, the current Emperor Meiji has been completely enraged, and I am afraid that even if Ito Hirobumi dies here to admonish, it will be difficult to achieve results!

Emperor Meiji roared angrily: "Order, immediately remove all positions of Naomi Tachimi, wait for follow-up disposal, order, Kodama Gentaro immediately launch a general attack on the three eastern provinces!" I don't believe that this Chinese Revolutionary Army is really invincible! ”

Ito Hirobumi was just about to speak, and Emperor Meiji then shouted: "If you dare to withdraw again, kill!" ”

Looking at the face of Emperor Meiji Tieqing, all the people around him were silent, and they no longer dared to speak, an earth-shattering battle came as scheduled, inevitable!

Shengjing, suburbs.

A group of cavalry came towards Shengjing City like a hurricane, and outside Shengjing, there was a group of people waiting anxiously.

Finally, the cavalry rushed to the city gates.

The person who came to greet him laughed and said, "Commander Bagen, I finally have you here, now we have the backbone!" ”

This cavalry was led by Bagen, who had come all the way from Baotou, and it was Dongfang Kai, the commander of the Third Division, who came to greet him!

Liu Xiaochan's navy only had time to transport the Third Division back, and was ordered to go to Tokyo Bay, leaving the Fourth Division in Lianyungang.

Bagan jumped off his horse and said, "How is it, what's going on now?" ”

Dongfang Kai hurriedly said: "Commander, let's go into the city and talk as we go." ”

Bagan nodded, got into the process's car, and walked away.

Dongfang Kai sat in the car and said to Bagen: "Commander, the current situation is very bad, a division of the Japanese army has broken into the Yan border and looted on the east side of Yanbian, our fourth division wants to protect Mukden, and it is really powerless to draw troops!" ”

Bagen replied viciously: "Well, since you can't move, then it's time for Lao Tzu's cavalry to exert his might, this time Lao Tzu must have a good time!" ”
