The vanguard of Yiketang'a also entered Jiulian City in the afternoon of the same day, and reported to Song Qing that the 13th battalion of the Jingbian Army in Heilongjiang would arrive the next day.

At this time, Jiulian City has become a huge military camp.

There are more than 2,000 people in the 5th battalion of Ma Yukun's division under the command of the Yi Army, more than 2,000 people in the 4th battalion of the Song Desheng Division, and more than 400 people in the Song Qing personal army.

More than 5,000 people were withdrawn from North Korea, plus more than 1,300 people from the 5th battalion and 1 outpost of the horse team stranded in Liaodong from Jinjing, a total of 6,300 troops, which were led by Nie Shicheng, Sun Xianyin, and Lu Benyuan.

Of the 4,000 Feng troops in Korea, in addition to the more than 1,000 people who were eaten by the reinforcement army, there were only nearly 2,000 troops left in the Qing Dynasty.

The Minister of Northeast Military Training was stable, and recruited more than 800 people from the new right battalion infantry team and the new rear battalion artillery team from Fengtian, and the Fengjun troops in Jiulian City totaled more than 2,800 people.

Through the attrition of the Pyongyang Campaign, the important generals of the Zuo Guiyang line were lost, and Nie Guilin, the commander of the Feng army, slipped back to Yizhou from the small road a few days ago and became the only senior general of the Feng army.

In this way, the Beiyang system, through He Changying and Nie Guilin, annexed the Feng army in an inconspicuous dismemberment.

After two battles of Chenghuan and Pyongyang, there were only 4 battalions of nearly 2,000 troops left, led by Nie Shicheng.

There are more than 2,500 people in the 5th battalion of the Renzi Army, of which 2,000 are newly recruited peasants from Yingkou the day before yesterday.

Jilin training army has 5 battalions of infantry and 1 horse team, with a total of 2,000 people; In addition, there are more than 1,000 people in the 4th battalion of the Qizi training army, more than 500 people in the 1st battalion of the horse team, and a total of more than 3,500 people in the combined army of the two armies.

There are also 4,000 Ming troops from Liu Shengxiu's department and nearly 3,000 troops from He Changying's department to aid Korea.

In this way, the Qing Dynasty concentrated nearly 2700000 troops in Jiuliancheng, the first important town on the right bank of the Yalu River. Counting the more than 4,000 people in Iketang Abe who will arrive tomorrow, the number of troops has exceeded 30,000.

He Changying and a group of generals of the Korean reinforcement army stood on the bank of the Yalu River outside Jiulian City, looking at the stone Xiongcheng Yizhou City on the opposite bank.

At this time, in the city of Yizhou, not only all the Qing troops were evacuated cleanly, but even many of the people in the city also fled to the surrounding countryside for refuge.

The North Korean officials in the city and a battalion of North Korean defenders also left Uiju two days ago and went to the town of Shuifeng, a hundred miles upstream, to assemble.

This time, the entourage of Min Bingzao, the supervisor of Ping'an Dao, has made history deviate greatly.

When he was in the governor's yamen, after a brief discussion between He Changying and Li Hongzhang, he immediately sent a telegram to Wu Weiyang of Jiulian City, and directly transferred Zhang Jingjing Company of the cavalry battalion, and Liu Guangyan, the deputy battalion commander, led the company north along the river, crossed the Yalu River south at the mouth of the Pushi River, and joined Xu Ru, Min Bingxiu, and Min Yongjun who were waiting in Taiping Bay.

Then the coalition forces continued to go up the river and stationed at Shuifeng Town, fifty miles upstream, forming a threatening situation against the lower reaches of the Yalu River.

In this way, the Korean reinforcement army gathered a company of cavalry from Mao Chao's battalion, a team of cavalry from Lin Yunyu's battalion, a team of artillery, plus a platoon of soldiers from the logistics department, and Min Yongjun's Korean army in the Shuifeng area.

With a total of nearly 500 troops, it looks across the river from Changdian City on the other side of the Yalu River.

In these days, Min Bingzheng continuously issued warrants, requiring the officials of all counties in Ping'an Province to defend the city and arrest them quickly, and all of them were assembled in the two cities of Shuifeng and Shuozhou.

In addition, a large number of materials from various county governments were collected, new soldiers were recruited, and three battalions of the Korean Anti-Japanese Army were prepared to be formed with the arms provided by the Korean reinforcement army.

"Commander, it's a pity that Yiju gave up without firing a shot."

Duan Xiongbo, a staff officer of the cavalry battalion, looked at Yizhou City on the other side, and unfortunately smashed his big mouth.

"You may not understand Nakado's thoughts, Nakado is still fantasizing that if the Japanese army occupies Uiju, it may die down."

He Changying had a faint expression on his face, and said with a smile: "It's the end of autumn now, and there is a strong wind, maybe the whole of Liaodong will be covered with snow the next day, so Zhongtang can take advantage of the winter to suspend the army and negotiate peace with the East." ”

"Peace talks, peace talks, all hit the doorstep, and I still want to talk about peace;"

Li Bohu, deputy commander of the third infantry battalion, opened his mouth and scolded: "Paralysis, talk about his sister, according to the old ——,, just beat his grandson!" ”

These words are a bit taboo, and all the generals are secretly happy in their hearts, but no one takes Li Bohu's words.

"Your kid is the same as the main station faction of the imperial court, a group of brainless angry youths, who only shout and kill all day long, but do not weigh the gap between themselves and their opponents; Well, but you're a little better than them, they only dare to hide in the kennel, full of mouths, you're really fighting for your life. ”

He Changying's previous words, Li Bohu's eyes were extremely unconvinced, he didn't know what 'angry youth' was, but he could understand the word 'brainless'.

However, He Changying's immediate turn immediately made Li Bohu look proud.

He is a simple and direct person himself, who likes violence and never bothers to hide his likes and dislikes.

"On the matter of whether to defend Yizhou or not, the emperor and Zhongtang broke their wrists for a while; The main battle faction of the imperial court was afraid that the army would let go of Yiju and withdraw to the country, and if the Japanese army was satisfied, it would stop by the Yalu River and stop fighting, so wouldn't the main battle faction's plan to kill two birds with one stone fail? As a result, the middle hall was forced to be anxious, and the court pinched its nose and agreed to the army's withdrawal to Liaodong; ”

He Changying sneered and said: "It's not that Yizhou can't be defended, but Yizhou is always less dangerous than Pyongyang, what is the result, Pyongyang fell in one day, why?" It's not that the armies are scattered, and no one obeys anyone, pointing to these armies to defend Yiju, it is still a big rout!. ”

"In this matter, it's not that there are no people in the court who understand, and Zhongtang also knows in his heart, why do you want to divide the defense area, that is, in Liaodong, use the dangerous mountains in the 100,000 mountains, train the army all the way, and drag the Japanese army little by little, so that they have to agree to peace talks."

He Changying sneered and concluded: "Since the beginning of this battle, the adults of Ming Spiegel have not planned to win a big victory; What drove the Japanese army into the sea was just wishful thinking on the part of the emperor. ”

In the slightly cold river breeze, all the generals were silent, feeling a chill from their bones.

"The head of the regiment said this, but it is a big taboo!"

Wang Shizhen and Li Yuanhong saw that the officers of the Korean reinforcement army around them seemed to be unaware, and the two couldn't help but glance at each other secretly, and quickly staggered their gazes.

Li Yuanhong saw a faint and solemn worry in Wang Shizhen's eyes.

And Wang Shizhen saw a slight excitement and novelty in Li Yuanhong's eyes.

"Actually, to put it mildly, we should be grateful to the Japanese army, it is their guns and killings that easily punctured the gorgeous and empty balloon shelf of the 'Boss Empire', so that the people can really wake up, so that the country still has the hope of catching up."

He Changying smiled and concluded: "So our reinforcement army will also go to Nagasaki, Kyoto, and Tokyo in the future to help the Orientals puncture their flashy and vain imperial dreams, and tell them——"

He Changying's voice suddenly became vicious and said: "The little insect under the mouth of the phoenix must always have the consciousness of being eaten, instead of fantasizing about the unrealistic dream of turning into a butterfly all day long; Under this sky in East Asia, there is destined to be only one voice, and that is the voice of the Chinese nation! ”
