Father, let it go. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Just such a simple sentence made everyone in the pavilion freeze their faces.

"Let go?"

Li Hongzhang picked up the cigarette pouch, and his youngest daughter Li Jingpu hurriedly rubbed the velvet on him, and under the light of the lantern, the red velvet in Li Jingpu's hand was trembling slightly.

"What hands to let go, how to let go?"

Li Hongzhang's voice became like a thunderbolt hidden in the clouds, shaking the pavilion and trembling: "Are you here to be a lobbyist for Liu Hanfang, and who is Liu Hanfang a gunman for?" ”

"Father, no one uses anyone as a gunman; Today, there has been a rumor outside the city full of wind and rain, saying that the Japanese soldiers are coming to Jinzhou, and even Shun has knelt down for Zhao Huaiye, but Zhao Huaiye is dead or alive; It is said that you gave a death order, and the North Ocean is not allowed to cross the bay. ”

"Bang!"

Li Hongzhang slapped his hand heavily on the coffee table, his face was as red as fire, and he was full of shame and anger in his heart.

Since the imperial court established the 'Military Affairs Office of the Supervision of the Japanese Police' and set up its office in the Tongzhou Telegraph Office.

In the past, telegrams from all over the country were sent to Beiyang first, and after Li Hongzhang read the important telegrams, he decided whether to send them or not, and whether they needed to be polished or revised.

At present, many telegrams have bypassed Beiyang and were sent directly to the Tongzhou Telegraph Office to 'supervise the military affairs of the Japanese people'.

In the past, the orders of the Beijing Division to the various departments of the Beiyang Zhili Customs Department were also sent to Beiyang first, and Li Hongzhang read them before issuing them.

Now it is sent directly to the Beiyang Department through the Tongzhou Telegraph Office.

In other words, Weng Tong and them have already hollowed him out of Li Hongzhang in disguise.

Moreover, now the connection between Li Hongzhang and the various departments of Beiyang can no longer hide a secret.

This feeling of being stripped of his pants and seeing all the sights made Li Hongzhang not ashamed and angry.

"Father, Liu Kunyi is already on his way north, and he will arrive at Jinmen in a few days; The military affairs department of the superintendent is meddling in Beiyang affairs indiscriminately, and it has become their credit, and if they lose, they will plant blame on you, why bother to be insulted by these villains? ”

Li Jingfang continued to persuade bitterly: "The future is the birthday of Lafayette, once this Jinzhou is lost, Lian Shun Xu Bangdao will definitely use no soldiers to rescue and escape the crime; Zhao Huaiye, father, you don't understand. ”

"Zhongtang, this morning, the official department gave the palm print to Yu Lianyuan and many people in the matter, impeached Chu Bao again, and wrongfully accused him of reselling arms to the Japanese; He also accused Ishikawa of evading the important and trivializing his confession. ”

Zhang Peilun came over in a panic just now, just to say this: "The emperor has ordered Wang Wenjin to investigate this matter, and Wang Wenjin telegraphed and ordered Hefei Mansion to lock up Chu Bao and escort him to Zhang Zhidong for interrogation. ”

Although it is extremely absurd to say that Zhang Shiheng resold arms to the Japanese people, it refers to the deer as a horse, which has always been the 'great skill' of the Chinese people.

If there is really a need, let alone accusing Chu Bao of selling arms to the Orientals, just say that Chu Bao sold arms to the Jade Emperor, and the people of the country will believe it.

Now that the imperial court has brought up this matter again, the emperor asked Zhang Zhidong's disciple, Wang Wenjin, the left attendant of the military department, to investigate Chu Bao, obviously Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was intended for Pei Gong.

It is estimated that the day after tomorrow, those clear streams, famous people, and speculators who smell the smell, their impeachment of their father-in-law, will fly over like snowflakes.

The mountain rain is coming!

Listening to the words of his eldest son and son-in-law, Li Hongzhang had a gloomy face and was silent for a long time.

"You don't understand! The wolf sitting on the chair is ruthless and wolfy, and the corrupt officials of the Manchu Dynasty are as vicious as the wolf of wealth. That's it, that's it, I've done everything I need to do, now it's up to that person to plan, if she is destined to be that finch, my Lao Li will accompany her to hell! ”

Li Hongzhang finished smoking a bag of shredded tobacco, knocked down the cigarette residue on the edge of the table, stood up and said, "Don't call me tomorrow morning; I got up decades early, and from tomorrow I will be a lazy old man, and I will never get up until three strokes in the sun. ”

"Father, it's dark at night, I'll help you."

The youngest daughter, Li Jingpu, hurriedly stood up and held the old father's arm with a painful face.

In the heavy sight of Li Jingfang, Li Jurong, and Zhang Peilun, although Li Hongzhang tried his best to hold his waist, but in the swaying of the lantern, he still walked desolately, full of aging on his back.

"The yellow magpie is mighty, and the bird dove is bright. Float it in the clouds, and support its tree abyss. ”

The family of the first powerful minister of the Qing Dynasty can still be prosperous for a few more days?

South Liaoning, east of Jinzhou, the first division of the Japanese army was stationed.

At 3:30 a.m., the soldiers of the Japanese army stopped sleeping and checked their guns and ammunition by the weak campfire.

At four o'clock in the morning, more than 1,700 troops of the Saito detachment, which was assembled on standby, began to quietly walk along the village road east of the Wolong Reservoir in the night, heading to Fuzhou Avenue.

At five o'clock in the morning, the 2nd Brigade of the Japanese Army, the Nishikanjiro Division, followed the route of the Saito detachment and moved to Fuju Avenue.

At 5:30 a.m., more than 200 Japanese soldiers from the 3rd Brigade and 4th Squadron of the 15th Wing of the Japanese Army set off for the east to Desheng Town, 20 miles to the east, to establish an early warning base.

At the same time, the three brigades of the 1st Infantry Wing began to line up in a skirmish line in the cold and faint morning light, advancing towards Shimenzi and Wolongpo.

"The Uyi are coming, the Uyi are coming!"

At the high platform of the Shimenzi fort, the Qing soldiers in charge of the lookout soon discovered the abnormality at the bottom of the mountain and roared.

"Hurry up, shoot, shoot!"

"Bombard the!"

Hearing the roar, the guards jumped up, returned to their respective positions, raised their guns and shot down the mountain.

"Crawl forward, attack along the way!"

Seeing that it was discovered by the Qing army on the high ground, the three brigades of the first wing of the Japanese army, which were in charge of the feint, were not in a hurry to attack, but ordered the soldiers to lie down the mountain and shoot at the Qing army on the mountain.

As long as they can tie up Shimenzi to the death, the thousands of Qing troops in Wollongpo, their task has been perfectly accomplished.

"Fire!"

Xu Bangdao ran to the artillery camp position and personally commanded the artillery to bombard the Japanese troops in front of the Shimenzi and Wolongpo positions.

Fuzhou Avenue, Potou Mountain.

Hearing the sound of artillery and gunfire from the direction of Jinzhou Avenue in the distance, the soldiers of the Huaizi Army on the position of Potou Mountain all cursed and cursed the Japanese soldiers who could not die well and disturbed people's sleep, and then prepared to continue to sleep.

In this reinforcement of Jinzhou, Zhou Dingchen only brought nearly 300 troops from two outposts, plus more than 160 cavalry from Rong'an's two outposts, and the Qing army only had less than 500 troops in the entire Fuzhou Avenue.

Everyone is glad that the Japanese are honestly hitting Jinzhou Avenue, otherwise these 400 or so people, facing tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers, would not even be enough to fill the gaps.

"Wayi, Wayi!"

"Bang!"

In a daze, the crowd was thinking about falling asleep when they heard the shouts of the sentry, followed by a piercing gunshot.

"The Japanese soldiers are here! The left sentry guards the left side of the mountain, and the right side of the mountain is guarded, and you cavalry are guarded in the center! ”

Zhou Dingchen danced with a big gun in his hand, shouting back and forth: "Put the gun, let go of the gun, kill them!" ”

"Run up the hill and attack!"

Saito Tokuaki had figured out before that the Qing army on Potou Mountain was less than 500 troops, and there was no artillery threat.

He saw that at this time, the vanguard had already touched the foot of Potou Mountain, and the Qing army had just woken up and was in chaos, so he immediately gave the order to charge.
