Can Cixi An not be angry?

On September 25, when the Japanese attacked the mouth of the Anping River, Cixi issued a decree to simplify her birthday and cancel the celebration of the Summer Palace and the 'scenic spots' along the way.

It's just that I am going to have a banquet in the garden to a group of old ministers who have followed Cixi for many years, and friends from various countries in the West to have a light meal.

Now that this is even lost in Jinzhou and Dalian, not to mention eating, Cixi can't wait to use a thick cloth to block her face when she goes out.

"You're bullying! One of you is the current emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty, and the other is the head of the world of the Great Qing Dynasty, you two will wrench your wrists, why can't you wait for my birthday to do so? Is it interesting to bully me like this to an old woman who doesn't want to ask about the world! ”

"Bang!"

In the deep Ningshou Palace, Cixi's heavy slap went down, and the hall roared, startling Li Lianying, who was waiting next to her, knelt down in a cold sweat, not daring to say anything.

"Lao Li, I haven't known you all these years? Are you forcing me, are you acting and putting yourself to death and then be born! You are far worse than your teacher; Zeng Guofan's psychology has so many selfish little Jiujiu of you, how can you be like you, you still want to support the next generation of Beiyang forces, what do you want to do! ”

Listening to Li Lianying's ears, these words are like five thunderbolts, if he has a pair of scissors in his hand at this time, he will definitely cut off his two ears bloodily without hesitation.

"This Zheng'er, I'm still set tomorrow! Lao Li, you and your fellow villagers in Hefei should ask for more blessings. ”

At this moment, Cixi's voice was extremely ruthless.

The Governor's Mansion of Zhili.

Light night, lotus garden.

Li Hongzhang's family of more than a dozen people ate the last dinner in the governor's palace in the cold wind.

Regarding his father's insistence on choosing to be in the lotus garden instead of the hall, the family either didn't understand, or vaguely understood, but they didn't say anything.

Li Hongzhang's eldest daughter, Li Jurong, said with a smile: "Father, let's go back to Feixi tomorrow; I haven't been back for years, so I miss it. ”

"Zhongtang, what about Mao Chao's telegram in Dalian?"

Zhang Peilun is still a little unwilling.

"Liu Kunyi went to the Governor's Mansion of Zhili in Baoding yesterday, and he may have entered the capital now; The emperor has made it clear that the war will be temporarily taken over by the Military Affairs Office of the Superintendent, and the rest of the things will be divided when Liu Kun comes to Tianjin. ”

Li Hongzhang endured the boredom in his heart, and said with a sneer: "The emperor just dismissed me from his post and took off the crown, instead of handing it over to the criminal department to be imprisoned, which has already given a great face; Now send a telegram to Tongzhou saying that Dalian Bay is not lost, what will they think, saying that I, Li Hongzhang, love power? Besides—"

Li Hongzhang took a sip of spicy wine, and his snot and tears flowed: "-- Pointing to Mao Chao's two thousand recruits, plus Zhao Liuhong's two battalions of recruits, can they stop the tens of thousands of troops of the Japanese people?" It's just early defeat and late defeat, so why look for humiliation! ”

After listening to Li Hongzhang's words, Zhang Peilun and Li Jingfang were silent.

"Father, what about the Korean reinforcements?"

Li Jingpu mustered up his courage and asked in a low voice.

Li Jingpu's question made the entire Lotus Pavilion quiet.

"Idiot—"

Li Hongzhang looked at Li Jingpu, his eyes full of pity and apology: "He Changying and Jiang Zikang are only 4,000 soldiers and horses, even if they add 3,000 people in Dalian Bay, where can these 7,000 soldiers block the waterway attack of tens of thousands of Japanese people?" Moreover, this He Changying, our little fellow from Feixi, is a great talent that cannot be underestimated! ”

The sentence 'great talent' in Li Hongzhang's mouth was full of sarcasm and coldness.

"He Changying and they left Andong County twelve days ago, if they really want to participate in the defense of Dalian Bay, they can reach Dalian Bay three days ago; You must know that Song Qing went from Lushun to Phoenix before, and it only took eight days along the way. ”

Seeing the dazed faces of the female dependents and his two brothers-in-law, Zhang Peilun began to play the duties of a dog-headed military advisor again, explaining everyone's doubts:

Moreover, the imperial court can issue an order to condemn Tong Maoyin and Cheng Zhiwei, who were ineffective in rescuing, but they can't blame He Jiang who took the initiative to come to southern Liaoning; He Jiang and the two troops came to southern Liaoning, but they got the consent of Zhongtang, and now they can fully justify that the road is far away, and the Sheng army burned down the military funds, so it is late. ”

"Now the whereabouts of Anton's 6,000 Sheng troops who fled are unknown, and the Yi Army and the Luyu Defense Army have all been disabled; Jiang Zikang and He Changying are relatives wearing a pair of pants, and Zhao Liuhong is Mao Chao and He Changying's followers in Feixi; ”

Li Hongzhang said angrily: "He Changying has controlled 7,000 soldiers in this way, surpassing the Sheng army in one fell swoop, and the court will be of great use in the future." Hmph, hasn't he already raised the flag? He Jiashi, good, good, promising! ”

Li Jingpu lowered her little head, and in her heart she would never believe that the sunny and upright and grinning strange man would be such a ruthless and selfish man.

"Zhongtang, Golden State Telegraph, Golden State Telegraph."

At this time, Wang Xizhi, a telegraph commissioner who had been on duty all night in the telegraph room these days, hurriedly walked into the courtyard, holding a telegram in his hand, and his face was full of surprise: "Zhongtang, it's a telegram from Jinzhou City!" ”

"Golden State? Isn't the Golden State falling? ”

Li Hongzhang was frightened, it was difficult to become Lian Shun, Xu Bangdao dared to lie about the enemy, abandoned the city and fled.

But even then, who else could there be in Golden State City at this time?

Nothing else, but this telegram is an extremely esoteric technical work.

"It's the Korean reinforcement army, and they have telegraph trainees in them."

Zhang Peilun was alert in the end, and he immediately understood: "Could it be that the Korean reinforcement army has reoccupied Jinzhou City?" How is this possible, how many people are there for them, and they can recapture Jinzhou City from tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers! ”

"Telegram!"

Li Hongzhang, whether it was his voice or his big hand that received the telegram, was trembling slightly.

Li Jingpu forcibly hid the joy in his heart, took a lantern from the maid's hand, and illuminated it for his father.

"-- the Sheng army mutinied, -- burned and looted the people along the way, aided the Korean army, and the Renzi army jointly suppressed it; -- Please order Wu Weiyang, commander of the Korean Aid Army, Lin Yunyu, commander of the Sheng Army, -- the five battalions of infantry cavalry to be called by the Liaodong Anti-Japanese Commander-in-Chief Office, -- to supply them with logistics and food; -- Jinshu is here, -- the 1st Brigade of the 15th Wing of the Japanese Army, the 1st Squadron of the 1st Cavalry Brigade of the Tokyo Cavalry 1,400 Japanese Army, and the Captain of the Captured Cavalry Brigade Akiyama Yoshiya Shaosa,-"

Li Hongzhang read it slowly, and in the end, his hands didn't tremble, and said to Wang Xizhi: "Send these two telegrams to Tongzhou, as for whether Lin Yunyu is allowed or not to be the commander of this Sheng army, it is no longer up to me." ”

"Father, it's not like things haven't turned around."

Li Jingfang, who was surprised next to him, hurriedly persuaded.

"Chrysostom said that it was too late; The telegram was sent to Beijing, and Ming'er Lafayette's birthday still had the face to do it; Wise man,—"

Li Hongzhang sighed and said: "The Sheng army who swallowed the old man, and spit out the Sheng army and the aid army, holding the elite of the five battalions of the Chinese army in his hands, and letting Mao Chao lead the troops, so that he took the initiative to divide the military power and appeased the heart of the court, and his own strength rose sharply; Let's see, it's another big prize. ”

"He's in the middle hall, you and Zeng Wengong were back then!"

Zhang Peilun looked admiration and regret, if his sister-in-law could marry He Changying, it would be perfect.

It's a pity, it's a pity!
