Chapter 734: Backbone and Spirit

"It turns out that Lafayette has been prepared for a long time, I don't know what is written on the holy decree?"

Seeing this scene, Li Jingfang's face couldn't help but show joy, what Li Hongzhang said just now was too terrifying, making it difficult for him to accept.

Subconsciously, Li Jingfang hoped that the peace talks would go smoothly and the flames of war would disappear, and then He Changying and the anti-Japanese army could safely survive the subsequent crisis, and it was best to become his father's arm and continue the glory of Beiyang.

Li Hongzhang's face was expressionless, and he didn't turn back when he opened the bow, this matter has come to this point today, it is already a roadbreaker who ascends to the sky, and a retreater dies!

Since ancient times, there is no reason to talk about the king's success.

Even if He Changying was unwilling to do it, how could his already fledgling group give up easily?

As the group of war horses approached, He Changying, Xu Bangdao, and Jia Qisheng rode in parallel, and they could already see their faces from a distance.

They don't seem to have the slightest smile!

The cavalry and horses stepped across the Dalong River, which was beginning to melt, and the horses' hooves trampled on the ice, splashing in clusters.

He Changying rode up the river embankment side by side, and slowly jogged forward for more than 30 meters, He Changying suddenly raised his right hand high and made a simple gesture.

The cavalry who went up the river embankment immediately and silently lined up behind the three horsemen.

Soon, a cavalry phalanx with a length of 100 horses and a width of 6 horses was displayed on the west bank of the Dalong River, three hundred meters east of the post station.

The spring breeze swept through the fields.

A scarlet red flag swept in the spring breeze.

The six hundred iron horsemen were silent, all of them holding Mauser guns in their left hands, and carrying swords with red silk cloth strips on their backs, together with the three people riding side by side in front, as if condensed into a heavy mountain of army gray and stiff without edge.

Although this respect mountain does not have a prominent front, it can visually give people an invincible surging power.

The big ingenuity is not work, and the heavy sword has no edge!

He Changying, who was riding in the middle of the front, raised his right hand again and made a gesture.

"Crotch!"

A neat jingo sounded, and six hundred swords were drawn from behind the cavalry, pointing diagonally at the northern sky.

In the sunset in the west, the knife forest exploded into clusters of snow-bright mangs, stabbing people almost unable to open their eyes.

"What does he want to do?"

At this moment, everyone in the post station was terrified, and fine beads of sweat exploded on the scalp and back.

The stupid southern Anhui infantry around them stood up one by one in horror, looking around for a way to escape in case of emergency.

On the bank of the Dalong River, He Changying immediately made a simple gesture, "Wow! With a bang, all the long knives were sheathed, and the snow-bright knife array in the east turned into a heavy mountain of army gray again.

"Yuβ€”"

In the sound of horses, the cavalry phalanx immediately divided into nearly twenty cavalry squads and moved towards the surroundings.

Only a dozen cavalry remained.

Then the horses came.

"Whew-"

"These bastards, they're terrible!"

"Groove, I'm so scared that I'm urinating!"

Inside the post station, there was a sudden sound of relaxed cursing.

"What are you doing here, demonstrating?"

Li Jingfang stood by the window, his face was pale with fright just now, and his heart was full of inexplicability.

"It's not a demonstration, it's a show of their fists, showing that they can still fight, expressing their unwillingness to negotiate peace, and for a while they will be righteous and awe-inspiring to persuade the old man not to be the traitor pointed out by the thousand husbands; - Tsk, this play is really good! ”

Li Hongzhang's words were full of praise, but his voice was so cold.

"Anzhi, are you really such a person?"

Li Jingfang's heart couldn't help but sway.

Outside the post station, He Changying and a few people dismounted and walked into the courtyard of the post station.

"The three generals are well-trained,"

Wang Wenjin was also bluffed just now, scolding secretly in his heart, but his face was smiling, and then his voice suddenly changed, and he said loudly: "He Changying, Xu Bangdao, Jia Qisheng, Xia β€”β€”, take the order!" ”

In the eyes of the Li family's father and son, He Changying and the others knelt down.

He Changying's outstanding military achievements, loyal and diligent to the king, was promoted to the commander of the Yellow Banner Capital,β€”β€”, and the army immediately went to Langfang to garrison the camp, if there is no will, it is not allowed to send troops without authorization. ——”

- Xu Bangdao made outstanding achievements, was loyal to the king, was promoted to the commander of Zhili, and controlled the armies of Zhili. If there is no will, no army shall leave the camp to fight. ——”

"β€”β€”Jia Qisheng made outstanding achievements, was loyal to the king of diligence, was promoted to the governor of Ludong, and temporarily commanded the anti-Japanese army in He Changying. Restrain the army, and do not leave the camp without a purpose. ——”

"β€”β€”Wang Wenjin, the left attendant of the military department, is the minister of the Qincha, controls the armies, and has the right to cut first and then play. ——”

"Command!"

Seeing that the three generals of the anti-Japanese army received the holy decree, Wang Wenjin finally let go of the heart that Lafayette had handpicked from last night.

The next thing is to lead the army to Langfang, according to Lafayette's will, to see the death of this group of soldiers and ruffians, so that none of them can leave the camp, so as not to spoil the peace talks.

He Changying, Xu Bangdao, Jia Qisheng, and Tang Shaoyi went up to the second floor to see Li Hongzhang, and Li Jingfang squeezed a smile and welcomed him into the guest room.

"Humble duty to the middle hall, please be safe!"

When the four of them saw Li Hongzhang sitting on the chair, they hurriedly knelt down on half knees and saluted.

β€œβ€”β€”β€

The room was quiet, only the various sounds outside, Li Hongzhang looked straight at the four people kneeling, and was half silent.

Xu Bangdao is the 'old man' of the Beiyang Department, but when the North Korean Renwu Incident occurred, Zhang Shusheng, the acting minister of Beiyang, took the opportunity to bring down himself, and this Xu Bangdao's position was unstable, and he was hidden in the snow for 12 years afterwards.

Unexpectedly, this time he took advantage of the chaos in North Korea again, followed He Changying to get into trouble, and actually replaced Nie Shicheng and became the commander of Zhili.

Jia Qisheng himself has always treated him well, but between him and Wei Rugui, he has always been partial to Wei Rugui, who expected that Wei Rugui has become a ghost under the knife, but he Jia Qisheng has become the commander of Ludong in the blink of an eye.

There is also this Tang Shaoyi, a young man who he is very optimistic about, originally Yuan Shikai's arm, and now he follows He Changying; Since he can take him with him today, it can be seen that He Changying also attaches great importance to it in his heart.

Then, Li Hongzhang set his eyes on He Changying, who was kneeling on half a knee. - the young man whom he liked and annoyed.

"By the river, why did you come out with a knife?"

Li Hongzhang's voice buzzed in the room, not angry but mighty.

"The knife said that the anti-Japanese army can still fight, dare to fight, and fight to the death! I, He Changying, do not want to surrender, the anti-Japanese army does not want to surrender, and my 400 million sons and daughters of China will never give in and surrender! ”

He Changying's content was passionate, but her voice was steady and calm, and she didn't see half of her emotions.

"Sure enough, I was right by my father!"

Li Jingfang, who was standing on the side, was full of deep disappointment in his heart, he had seen the wrong person after all!

"Do you want to persuade the old man not to sign, don't be a traitor, so as not to leave a stench for 10,000 years? - You're kind. ”

Li Hongzhang's voice suddenly calmed down, like a stream of clear water, slowly coming out.

However, Li Jingfang saw that the back of his father's hand holding the armrest of the chair was already full of green muscles.

"Whether to sign or not, whether to negotiate peace or not, is not something that Zhongtang can control, and Zhongtang is just a person who carries the blame; Since there is nothing to do with Zhongtang, what should I persuade Zhongtang? As a soldier, I can't resist foreign humiliation and let the Japanese army enter the country, what qualifications do I have to blame Zhongtang? ”

"Oh?"

Li Hongzhang and Li Jingfang were both stunned, looking at He Changying in surprise and shock, unable to speak for a while.

He Changying raised his head calmly, looked at Li Hongzhang and said: "Changying, but I learned that Zhongtang and Brother Li were going to cross the ocean and suffer humiliation for the Qing Dynasty, so I came to see them off; The road in the middle hall is shaky and hard, and I hope to take care of my body. ”

"Then why did you go with the knife?"

After a long pause, Li Hongzhang asked the question again, but the direction he was pointing in had changed.

Li Hongzhang's voice trembled slightly, and his eyes were a little moist.

"The knife is for Wang Wenjin and all the soldiers, as well as the surrounding people, of course, mainly for Bao Shide; I don't surrender, I can fight against the Japanese army! ”

The room was silent, except for a few breaths.

"Get up, it's hard for you to still have the heart to see me, an old man who is going to the top tank; These cavalry are good, only a few days of kung fu,β€”β€” or is it so sharp? ”

Li Hongzhang's voice became gentle, and a real smile appeared on his face.

"The soldiers are all good soldiers, and the people are still the same people, but the anti-Japanese army gave them the backbone and spirit;"

He Changying slowly stood up and said with a hint of pride: "So they have been reborn, and they are not Wuxia Ameng!" ”
