"You just carried 'Wei Rugui's fate'."

Jiang Zikang reminded Zhao Fatzi angrily and funny,—— This is obviously a half-hung lobbyist of the anti-Japanese army, I really don't know what Wu Weiyang thinks?

As an eyewitness of the Pyongyang Campaign, Jiang Zikang certainly knew that Wei Rugui was not wronged.

If you want Jiang Zikang to say, he is not wronged.

It is an indisputable fact that the Sheng army has the largest number of people, so it disturbs the people the most, otherwise Ye Zhichao would not have had a few awkward quarrels with Wei Rugui in Pyongyang because of this matter.

The letter written by Wei Rugui's wife, which was publicized by the Japanese army through Westerners' major events, is estimated to be true nine times out of ten.

But in Pyongyang, the battle between Wei Rugui and Ma Yukun in the bridge was the best battle in Pyongyang, which is also a fact.

But now that the imperial court is using the East to fight the North Ocean, where is there any reason to speak of?

"Oh, oh, when I look for it——, find it; Ye Zhichao, Zhao Huaiye,——, these fateful law fields-"

"What?"

Jiang Guidi, Cheng Yunhe, and Jiang Zikang all stood up silently, and Jiang Zikang even snatched the letter paper from Zhao Liuhong's hand.

"Well, see for yourselves; Shen Zhaoao's meaning is that everyone wants to twist into a rope to support the New Beiyang,—— that's what it means; This is a telegram sent by the imperial court today. ”

Zhao Liuhong was already hungry, grabbed a large piece of braised pork in his right hand and filled it into his mouth, finished eating, shook the telegram in his left hand and said: "Wei Rugui, Ye Zhichao, Zhao Huaiye, Gong Zhaoxi, Zhang Qilin,—— there are too many to remember, anyway, they used to be more cattle than people, and they were killed from top to bottom; Of course, a lot of them are damned too! But almost all of them are from our Huaidi, hum, you can think about it, if you are not obedient and unwilling to join the army, if you lose Lushun, everyone will meet in the execution ground. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Liuhong added: "The rich man of TM, there are a lot of wives and children, and he doesn't follow the commander-in-chief to support the territory of our Huai Department, and still fight for it?" Do you wait for yourself to lose your head in the future, and the wife, concubine, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter are all sent to the kiln, so that the turtle will be cool first, and then the prostitutes will be happy together? When you are a dead ghost, your head is still green, and your heart is comfortable? ”

All the generals in the hall were all green-faced, and at first Jiang Muchen despised the anti-Japanese army, so he actually invited Zhao Fatzi, an idiot, to come over as a lobbyist.

Now I know that this idiot who doesn't understand bullshit, just a few words that are extremely vicious, is so fierce.

It's just a word for heart!

And there's really no way to refute him.

"From now on, my four battalions will be handed over to the command of the anti-Japanese army, and I will drink small wine and eat big meat every day for the winter; Wait until the battle is over, what to say, that is He Changying's affair with the court. ”

Jiang Guidi saw that the words had reached this point, so he first expressed his position.

"Yes, if the anti-Japanese army sees me, I will give this life to the anti-Japanese army."

Pan Jinshan is less than forty this year, of course he doesn't want to go back to Feixi to eat and wait for death, and he wants to rush up again.

Jiang Muchen looked at his uncle, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll be with Brother Pan." ”

Cheng Yunhe lowered his head and read the letter and telegram, saw that all the eyes were looking over, and after a slight contemplation, he made it clear the priority and priority.

The key now is to protect Lushun, as long as it can be kept, even if everyone is ineffective after the war, there will be no mistakes.

But if you really lose Lushun, Wei Rugui, Ye Zhichao's fate is there.

Just like Jiang Gui said, everything is after the war, it is a matter of He Changying's wrestling with the imperial court.

Thinking about this, Cheng Yunhe immediately said simply: "In Shanhaiguan, General He listened to the dispatch of Nie Junmen, and it is not an exaggeration for my Hezi army here to listen to the deployment of the anti-Japanese army, all for the purpose of fighting the Japanese; Jiang Junmen, I'll come to you every day for a drink from now on. ”

"Let's do it together."

Seeing that the matter was resolved satisfactorily, Jiang Zikang was so happy that he laughed out loud.

At this point, in addition to the 300 banner soldiers of the Jiesheng battalion, not counting the cavalry of the Qu Desheng division that broke through inexplicably, the entire southern Liaoning army will become a field group with a strength of 22,000 after the completion of integration.

This is a world of difference from the previous situation of being divided and fighting separately.

Lushun is known as the first fortress in the Far East, and it is full of bullets and shells, and this battle is not too big a problem in Jiang Zikang's opinion.

At this time, the Nilsk cargo ship was far away from the headland of the Ludong Peninsula jutting into the Yellow Sea, accelerating due north towards Dadonggou, and it was expected to arrive in six days.

The combined fleet of the Japanese army was divided into three groups, quietly hiding in the Bohai Bay to the west of Daqin Island, Beihuangcheng Island, and Nanhuangcheng Island, waiting for the arrival of the Beiyang Naval Division.

On January 15 of the Western calendar, the eighteenth day of the lunar calendar, Zuo Zongtang's old department (political envoy) Wei Guangtao's 6 battalions and 3 posts of the Wuwei Army, Li Guangjiu's 5 battalions of the Lao Xiang Army, Zeng Guoquan's old department Chen Xiang's Fushou Army 10 battalions, Liu Shuyuan's personal soldiers 6 battalions, Wu Yuankai's Chu army artillery 4 battalions, Tan Biaozhong's 1 battalion, a total of more than 14,000 military horses arrived at the Shanhaiguan defense line one after another.

On the same day, the frizzy Qing Emperor Guangxu began a new round of temporary changes.

Liu Kunyi, the governor of Zhili, was ordered to supervise the military affairs of the Eastern Expedition for the minister of Qincha, and handed over the administrative affairs of Zhili to Wang Wenshao, the deputy minister of Beiyang, to temporarily replace him, garrison Shanhaiguan, and directly command the armies of Shanhai.

He ordered Nie Shicheng, the governor of Zhili, to return to Yanjing and preside over the outer defense of the Beijing Division.

Ordered the Zuo Shilang of the Military Department, together with Luo Rongguang, the chief soldier of the Dagu Fort, to preside over the defense of Jinmen.

On January 16, Liu Kunyi led 2,000 Jiangnan soldiers to Shanhaiguan, and Wang Wenshao went to Jinmen to officially temporarily take charge of government affairs.

At the same time, control Beiyang Jinmen Customs Road, Yantai Customs Road, Beiyang Merchants Bureau, Beiyang Ordnance Bureau, Kailuan Coal Mine, Railway Bureau, Telegraph Bureau and other things.

On the morning of January 17, the depressed Liu Kun arrived at Shanhaiguan with a carriage.

At that time, Shanhaiguan, Jiumen, and Huanxiling were on the front line, and nearly 35,000 Qing troops and nearly 80 battalion heads were concentrated.

For a time, the Qing Dynasty gathered stars, and everywhere there were flags waving, which was dazzling.

At noon that day, Liu Kunyi first smoked a big cigarette.

Wu Dacheng, the governor of Hunan and the deputy minister of military affairs, Tang Renlian, the commander of the Guangdong Navy Division, Wu Fengzhu, the governor of Hubei, Wei Guangtao, the political envoy of Jiangxi, and Zhou Fu, the former assistant of the enemy camp office of the prime minister of Shanhaiguan, were invited to discuss the military situation.

As for He Changying, Xu Bangdao, and Jia Qisheng in the key positions on the front line, Liu Kunyi not only thought that the official hats of the three were too small, but also that the three of them and the main force of the three cities outside the Guanwai were Li Hongzhang's Beiyang department, so there was no plan to meet separately at all.

In Liu Kunyi's temporary minister's office, all the civil and military forces touted and discussed, and they were full of confidence in guarding Shanhaiguan.

Wu Dacheng, the military minister of the Hunan governor's assistant to the military affairs, even proposed that while the army was now gathering strong troops and strong horses, and the main force of the Japanese was still on the way, the whole army should attack and annihilate the third brigade of the Japanese outside the mountains and seas in one fell swoop.

"Fu Nianchen has been in Xinjiang for a long time, and the army has not yet understood it, so he only uses the Japanese soldiers to commit obedience, despise my Central Plains, and have the same hatred, lying on the salary and tasting the courage. ——The general period is full of vigor, the second is clear, and the fierce edge is curbed, so as to live up to the grace of the queen mother and the emperor. ”

Wu Dacheng, who admitted that he didn't know how to march and fight, 'soothed' a little spicy wine, and proudly recited the folds of his automatic invitation to fight in Liaodong.

Immediately won the applause of the full wine table.

In Wu Dacheng's simple mind of one plus one equals two, and six minus three equals three, it is a matter of course that it is a piece of cake for 35,000 male soldiers at the pass to fight 8,000 Japanese soldiers.

Four people beat one person, even if they punch randomly, they can beat the master to death, not to mention that there are 14,000 'elite soldiers' brought by themselves!
