Chapter 292: Yanzhou

When the reinforcement army held a military meeting in Jiulian City to decide the next stage of affairs. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The second meeting between Song Qing, the deputy director of the Beiyang military, and the Heilongjiang general Yiketang'a was also held at the same time in Shahezi, at the mouth of the Yalu River.

The two hurriedly talked a few words, and in the end they still broke up.

From beginning to end, Iktanga, who has an old face, has one sentence: Obey the order to defend the Nine Cities.

made Song Qing hate it so much, like a dog biting a hedgehog, and he couldn't bite it.

Helpless, Song Qing had no choice but to run to the Anton Telegraph Office and continue to send telegrams to Li Hongzhang to find help.

If the assistant and the general are stationed here at the same time, the soldiers are brave and mixed, and I am afraid that they will follow the path of Pyongyang again. If it cannot be spread, it is necessary to beg for a telegram and ask General Yi to take care of the area around the mouth of the Changdian River in the north. Otherwise, only Qing led the guerrillas to look north, and the central and southern sections should follow the measures to avoid negligence. ”

Seeing that the war was about to start, Iktanga did not let go, saying that his ass would never leave Jiulian City.

This time, Song Qing, who was in a hurry to blow up, didn't care whether he was taboo or not, and even directly talked about the rout of North Korea and threatened Li Hongzhang and the court to make concessions.

Jinmen, Zhili Governor's Palace, signing room.

Li Hongzhang soon got the telegram from Song Qing, and he was sulking at Ding Ruchang at this time.

"Get on the boat and go to sea on a scheduled date, hehe, he is really courageous, so courageous, he fought the Dadonggou naval battle really beautifully; There is also this Admiral Song, 'I'm afraid that I will follow the mistakes of Pyongyang again', this is saying that I, Li Hongzhang, am stupid and unclear! ”

Li Hongzhang shook the two thin tele-newspapers in his hand with a loud sound, his face full of shame and anger.

"Zhongtang, Ding Ruchang is showing his attitude to the imperial court and wants to make meritorious contributions, but the sailor Dingyuan Zhenyuan will barely repair it, and the newly replenished sailors of the ships have not yet had time to familiarize themselves with the ships; Such a brazen wave battle, to put it mildly, the sailor really went to sea, if he met the Oriental Fleet again, whether he could come back was a question. ”

Zhang Peilun has been accompanying Li Hongzhang these days, this forty-six-year-old middle-aged Confucian student, with a clear trend of aging, not only has more wrinkles on his face, but even the gray hair on the big braid has increased a lot.

At this time, Zhang Peilun's eyes were bright, and he said to Li Hongzhang categorically: "Sailors must not go to sea easily. ”

"I think it's still true for Changying to say, as long as our sailors maintain deterrence and then establish a solid land defense line on the front line of Jinzhou Dalian, then sooner or later the Japanese will be defeated undefeated."

Li Jingfang also spoke out to agree with Zhang Peilun's opinion.

"Did Yuan Shikai set off?"

Li Hongzhang suddenly jumped and asked his eldest son.

"Just left the day before yesterday, he and Tang Shaoyi took a boat to Yingkou together, and then went to Liaoyang; Zhou Fu has suddenly stopped urging these days, it seems that he is full of confidence in Song Qingyiketang Ashi's Yalu River defense line. ”

There was a hint of sarcasm in Li Jingfang's tone, and he was helpless.

Since listening to He Changying's analysis, Li Jingfang has completely lost his mind to the defense line of the Yalu River.

Thirty thousand against thirty thousand.

Among your 30,000 troops, 3,000 on the left and 3,000 on the right, the troops on the defense line of the Yalu River are scattered everywhere, and there are only 300 soldiers on average in one mile.

And the people of Dongyang are 30,000 military horses tightly clenched into an iron fist, and they hit out with a punch.

Who wins and who loses, obviously self-evident!

This truth is said to be understandable to everyone, but the Qing Dynasty is so evil.

The people are blind and really don't understand, so they know that they are shouting and making trouble all day long.

But Qingliu doesn't want to listen to your explanation at all, let alone disdain to understand.

They drink flowers and wine all day long and play with women, but one by one they stand on the moral high ground, pointing fingers, laughing and scolding at others who go to the battlefield with their heads on their hands, in order to show their righteousness and talent.

Yu Lianyuan, who was in the middle of the matter, wrote a few days ago, and actually whimsically said, "Take advantage of its Oriental troops in Korea, the country is unprepared, and attack its Tokyo with heavy troops, such as Sun Han's attack on Wei, in order to save Zhao." ’

Zhirui, the squire of the Ministry of Rites and the strong general of the imperial party, said, "If the Qing Dynasty swept away the East in the first war, it can refresh the pattern, lift the spirit, and strive for self-improvement, and from then on march towards the road of a strong country." ’

Editor Zeng Guangjun believes, "China can take this opportunity to exterminate the East and establish miraculous achievements." In this way, it can not only get rid of the trouble of lying on the couch, but also deter Xiyi, isn't it beautiful!? ’

In his recital, the Imperial Historian Zhang Zhongxin said, 'Li Jingfang, the son of Li Hongzhang, had a close relationship with the Japanese Imperial Family when he was an envoy to the East, and he agreed to appoint the daughter of the Meiji Emperor as his daughter-in-law. ’

Inspector An Weijun slandered Wei Rugui for 'waiting and seeing' and 'fleeing without a fight' on the battlefield in Pyongyang, and kept saying that Wei Rugui's commander of the Sheng army was bought for 30,000 taels of silver.

It was clearly attacking Wei Rugui, but the arrow was directed at Li Hongzhang.

What's more, Qingliu offered a plan to let the fishermen of Tianjin Gate take boats to various seaports in the East Ocean and block their ships going to sea, but only the Guangxu Emperor, who was full of enthusiasm and knew nothing about the world, actually issued an edict for Li Hongzhang to 'do it at his discretion'.

Everyone in the East has come to the door with heavy troops, and these ignorant and ignorant guys are still so nonsense.

How can you not make people angry and desperate?

And Lafayette, who really knows a little bit, Weng Tongyi, Liu Kunyi, these giant crocodile bosses, either stand aside and watch coldly, or sharpen their knives and wait for Beiyang to fall to the ground to share this carnival feast.

"Forward Song Qing's telegram to the Prime Minister's Yamen, since they have answered it, Song Qing is now looking at the emperor again, can I be a bad old man?"

Li Hongzhang was a little angry, but when it came to the old foundation of the water master, he didn't dare to be angry, and said to Zhang Peilun: "Youqiao, you draft a telegram and ask Ding Ruchang to stay in Lushun honestly for me; Tell Gong Zhaoyu that the British and French admirals have given us a secret report that the Japanese may land near Dalian Bay and copy Lushun, so that they can strengthen their defenses and speed up the conscription. ”

North Korea, seventy miles south of Dadonggou, Yanzhou.

After nearly 20 days of trekking, the 10th Brigade of the Japanese Army built bridges and roads all the way to capture coolies, and finally arrived in Yanzhou before sunset on the 14th.

Soon, Lijian Shangwen led the generals and climbed the city wall of Yanzhou with great ambition, looking at the glow of the western sky.

In that direction, it is Dadonggou.

The victory of the Imperial Navy in the naval battle that shocked the world nearly a month ago became a turning point in the Qing-Japanese War and laid the direction of the Empire's future war in one fell swoop.

From the previous local Korean War, it was expanded to a full-scale battle of conquest and clearing.

"Gentlemen, that is the Yalu River, a place that the empire has dreamed of for thousands of years, but has never really reached;"

Immediately saw Shangwen raise his arm and point to the west: "The day after tomorrow, you and I, our glorious and proud 10th Brigade, will realize the dream that the empire has been striving for for thousands of years, drinking the Yalu River!" ”

"Long live the Emperor!"

Tomita Harubi, who was standing beside Naomi Tachimi, roared with a scorching light in his eyes.

"Long live the Emperor!"

Suddenly, shouts one after another rolled over the entire Yanzhou.

"My emperor has been passed down for a thousand generations,

It has been passed down to eight thousand generations.

Until the fine stones turn into rocks, until the rocks grow moss. ——”

Immediately, the song "Jun's Generation" was sung in the entire Yanzhou City.
