"Battalion commander, these people in the country just didn't hurt, they didn't suffer a few heavy beatings, and they bleed, you can't wake them up. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Seeing He Changying's black face looking at the back of Nie Shicheng and his party going north in the mud, Shen Zhaoao looked disdainful.

"Nie Junmen's vision, among these generals in the Qing Dynasty, is considered first-class; However, if you stay in this big sauce vat for a long time, you will inevitably be smoked by this big sauce vat and you can't tell the taste; Don't talk about that, do our own thing. ”

He Changying said to Shen Zhaoao: "You go to the other side first, restrain the army, and buy some meat and poultry; The soldiers have worked hard these days, and the dinner is as rich as possible. ”

"How can you stay tonight, I guess I can't camp outside the city?"

"The old rule is that they all sleep under the eaves of the people; Tell each company and platoon that the red cloth strips on my arms are all tied to distinguish us from those bandit soldiers, duck egg soldiers, and give me a difference. ”

――

Nie Shicheng and his more than a dozen personal soldiers, barefoot, walked step by step on the **** road that was stepped on by the Korean army, and walked in the direction of Bochuan.

"Brothers, work hard, these cadet troops can go to the Daqing River, we can also go to Bochuan City, and when we get to the city, I will invite everyone to drink wine and eat meat;"

Nie Shicheng has always loved soldiers like sons, and he does not regard his status as noble, but puts on a shelf: "Tomorrow there are horses of the new army, and everyone will not have to work so hard." ”

"My lord, you have a good look, we are flying like flying, how can we not compare to those recruits? Make sure to enter Bochuan City before dark. ”

For those bullish students by the Daqing River, these soldiers of the general soldiers, they are contemptuous from the bottom of their hearts.

What's bullish, grandfathers have slaughtered Western devils in Taiwan and beaten tough guys with Oriental soldiers in Asan, what scenes have you not seen?

I have the ability to go to practice with the Oriental soldiers, and I guess that as soon as I hear the sound of the Oriental cannon, I will be like a rabbit!

"Listen, what are they singing, this song is so strange?"

Nie Shicheng's ears suddenly heard the singing voice coming from the riverside, which was very strange and exciting.

"-- Feet on the land of the motherland,

Burdened with the hope of rising,

We are an invincible force,

We are the avant-garde of war,

We are armed with steel,-"

Nie Shicheng stood on the muddy road, listening quietly, fascinated.

――

For the next two days, the sky in North Korea was palpitating, and the sun quickly dried the ground, and on the morning of the 3rd, although the road was still wet, the soft mud could only cover the surface of the feet shallowly when the feet stepped on it.

At noon on September 3, the reinforcement army arrived at Shun'an Station, rested here for half an hour, and simply ate Wotou pickles.

After He Changying gave the order to re-march, all the soldiers couldn't wait to march excitedly in the direction of Pyongyang.

Because everyone knows that after half a month of arduous trek from Jinmun to Andong and then to Anju, we are finally going to Pyongyang.

The following is resting in a big city in a foreign country, and when the Oriental soldiers come, they will fight them as if they are dead, and if they don't come, everyone will wait comfortably in the city.

"Let's go, you don't have to run anymore when you get to Pyongyang."

"I went to North Korea and asked Mr. John to take a picture of me, and I sent it back to my parents to see."

"Haha, you kid didn't let your parents see it, you wanted your doll to see it, right?"

"Haha-"

There was a frolic in the ranks.

"He was paralyzed, and Lao Tzu's leg was about to break all the way! Brothers, when I arrived in Pyongyang, Lao Tzu had a treat, wait for a break first, the bottom can be hard, and Ming'er will get a few more North Korean women to be happy. ”

"The captain is righteous and paralyzed, Lao Tzu has been in front of him for five or six years, and now he has become a big-headed soldier, not to mention, he has gnawed his head every day for the past two days!"

"Be quiet, are you looking for death? I didn't see the four fools over there in Beitang, who were beaten half to death by the students in the dark! ”

"He dares, Lao Tzu is not like those soft eggs, he has long followed them with red knives and white knives!"

"Shut up!"

Li Bohu, the captain of the officer reserve of the fourth infantry company and the former sentry commander of the defenders of the Dagu Fort, glared at his subordinates who were full of strange words: "It's so far, so tired, it's all over, don't go to Pyongyang but give Lao Tzu the whole thing!" ”

Cheng Guande and Hong Jiading, who trained the army in Beitang, took away more than 30 'of their own people' to join Li Jingfang, including ten Shi Chang, and the remaining 73 big-headed soldiers who were not loved by their grandfathers and grandmothers, were forcibly dispersed to various companies and platoons by He Changying and the defenders of the outpost battery in Dagu.

For the Beitang training army, the so-called dragons have no leader, so it is easier to deal with, and the commanders of the Dagu Fort are a little troublesome.

He Changying simply asked the original sentry commander Li Bohu to take it with him, and formed a reserve team of officers of the fourth company, ready to observe for a while.

As a result, these days, the soldiers of the Beitang training army complained and said strange things, but these soldiers of the Dagu Fort performed well.

Walking and walking, in the sunset in the west, a vast majestic city appeared in everyone's field of vision.

Pyongyang has arrived.

――

Pyongyang, Consulate of the Great Qing Dynasty.

Li Jingfang and Ye Zhichao sat in the signing room with gloomy faces, speechless for a long time.

It has been more than 10 days since Li Jingfang came to Pyongyang, and his initial excitement and ambition have now turned into a heart full of complaints.

On August 22, when he entered Pyongyang City, Li Jingfang hastily gathered his generals to discuss the war before he could settle down.

General Jianwei and Zuo Guigui, the general soldier of Gaozhou Town, stood up first, and impassionedly proposed that instead of the Sixth Route Army holding Pyongyang, it would be better to take the initiative to cross the Taedong River, go straight to Seoul, and fight to the death with the Japanese army.

Li Jingfang nodded again and again when he heard this, and was about to say, 'It is very much in line with me'.

Wei Rugui, who was sitting next to him, immediately poured cold water on his mouth.

Wei Rugui emphasized that this army defending Pyongyang is a plan set by Zhongtang, if you want to fight Seoul, you can only go, no one will stop you; However, his 6,000 Sheng troops, according to the will of Zhongtang, guarded the gate of Pyongyang City.

As soon as Zuo Guigui heard this, he exploded at that time, and the military discipline of the Sheng army, who was responsible for Wei Rugui, was corrupted, and the people of Pyongyang City were miserable.

Wei Rugui, as Li Hongzhang's fellow villager in Hefei, and Li Hongzhang's henchman, has nearly 20,000 troops and horses in Pyongyang, and his Sheng army accounts for one-third, how can he eat Zuo Guigui's heel worm who follows the butt of the Eight Banners.

Immediately, Wei Rugui's Qiu Ba's temper suddenly came up, he dropped the cup, and wanted to go to the courtyard with Zuo Guigui to fight alone.

Everyone finally separated the two who were scolding and scolding, and Nie Shicheng put forward a compromise suggestion that seemed to be very feasible:

Since sticking to Pyongyang is the keynote set by the central government, it is better to scatter half of the troops at various ferry strongholds on the north bank of the Taedong River and deploy heavy artillery to prevent the Japanese army from crossing the river.

At the same time, a small group of elite cavalry was sent to infiltrate Huangzhou County, Yuanxiangcheng, and Da'an County in Jiangxi Province to reconnoiter the enemy's situation.

Based on the information obtained, the next course of action is discussed.

However, Feng Sheng'a, the commander of the white-flag guard, immediately said that he only had more than 1,500 people, and there was also a sentry cavalry guarding Anzhou, so the generals could only go out with confidence, and the city of Pyongyang would be guarded by his Fengtian Ma Bushengzi battalion and Jilin training army.

Ye Zhichao also pointed out that the small houses at the ferry ports in Pyongyang already have enough troops to defend them, and if necessary in the future, they can draw troops from the city at any time to replenish them.

Besides, Zhongtang has been discussing mediation with the consuls of Western countries, and although the Oriental side has been ambiguous, there has been no trace of the Oriental Army coming over for so long, so maybe it won't come again.

In a word, it is the best strategy for everyone to rest in Pyongyang, gambling and drinking to play with North Korean women, so as not to adapt to all changes.
