"Shui" Zhongtang, can you send a telegram to the sailors of Arthur, while the British fleet is still at the mouth of the Bohai Sea, the warships are loaded with the elite gunners of Port Arthur and come over; With artillery ships, it is not so easy for this Jinmen to be touched by the Japanese warships! ”

Wang Wenjin, the left attendant of the military department, has not been fragrant these days.

He, Cao Kezhong, and Zhang Mengyuan worked hard to recruit the 30th battalion of the 'Jinsheng Army', and the whole army was wiped out overnight, how can it not be heartbroken?

Hearing Wang Wenjin's words, Wang Wenshao, Luo Fenglu, Sheng Huaixuan, and a group of civil and military ministers all looked at Li Hongzhang with hope, hoping that he could come up with a charter.

However, Li Hongzhang closed his eyes and sat on the Huanghuali Taishi chair blankly, as if he had fallen asleep.

For such a seventy-year-old first minister of the Qing Dynasty.

Some time ago, he was persecuted by Weng Tongyi and the imperial party, abolished his Beiyang, stinted his reputation, knocked off his official position, and even beat his eldest son who was killed did not know whether he was alive or dead, and he was sure to be more auspicious.

No matter whether Li Hongzhang was really sleeping or pretending to sleep at this time, no one had the courage and face to forcibly wake up Li Hongzhang and open his eyes and speak.

"The Holy Providence, Wu Hongluo, the former chief soldier of Penghu Town, who has been at home for many years, has recruited 6 battalions and 1 sentinel recruit to be transferred to Dagu Fort in Haiphong, Jinmen; Xingsun, this ordnance matter, there is a lot of trouble. ”

Wang Wenshao saw that Li Hongzhang did not squeak, so he made up his mind to go back to the governor's yamen, and asked the emperor to ask Li Hongzhang to send a message, so that the Lushun Navy Division would return to Fangjin Gate with elite soldiers.

If you think about it, the emperor will make an order immediately.

So he stopped dwelling on this matter and continued to discuss with the people in the hall.

Sheng Huaixuan showed a helpless wry smile on his face: "Governor, now the warehouse of the Ordnance Bureau is empty, and the strict orders of the Governor's Yamen and the Military Department three times a day will send the rifles, bullets, and gunpowder produced every day to the Beijing Division overnight; And even if they are all intercepted, pointing at these dozen fast guns a day, it will not help! ”

The room was dull, and it was impossible to see that the Japanese soldiers were coming, Wu Hongluo and his mud-legged recruits were desperate with firewood knives and the Japanese soldiers?

"The key is still in Lushun ——, the Anti-Japanese Army, the Xinsheng Army, the Gongwei Army, the Renzi Army, the Guizi Army, the Hezi Army, the Jiesheng Battalion, and the 8 battalions of the Qinqing Army, the 5 battalions of the Chengzi Army, and the 6 battalions of the Huaizi Army, with a total of no less than 60 battalions and more than 30,000 troops."

Wang Wenjin continued to hold on to this matter: "Now that the Japanese have fallen into Weihaiwei, Lushun has become an insignificant place of death, but as long as the 30,000 army and the elite of the sailors return to Tianjin, the dilemma of Tianjin and Beijing will be solved immediately!" ”

Everyone in the house knew that Wang Wenjin's mouth was '60 battalions with more than 30,000 troops', and there was still some moisture.

After all, the southern Liaoning side went through the Jinzhou War, the Dalian Bay War, and the Tuchengzi War, and fought with Dashanyan's Second Army for three months, and it is estimated that the losses are not few.

However, since the Lushun armies were able to block tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers in Dalian Bay, and had fought so many great victories, as long as they could withdraw, they would still be sharp when they wanted to fight the First Army.

A group of civil and military officers couldn't help but look at Li Hongzhang, counting on the 'old Zhongtang' to wake up and speak quickly.

Now in the entire Qing Dynasty, there is only this well-equipped, long-lasting, sharp combat power, and tens of thousands of field heavy army corps.

The rest of the armies were either veterans and ruffians who had not moved for decades, or recruits with incomplete guns and would be crushed at the first moment.

"The warship can't bring so many soldiers, even if it's fully loaded, it's not bad to be able to bring back tens of thousands of troops."

As a sailor general, Luo Fenglu is naturally much more reliable in speaking.

"An army of 10,000 is enough! As long as the Jinmen is held, the first army of the Japanese army is just a lone army at the end of the strong crossbow, and with the elite soldiers of the warships, this Jinmen is naturally safe; ”

Wang Wenjin said proudly: "In this way, the first army of Shanxian County will not be able to escape the fate of being annihilated sooner or later!" ”

Li Hongzhang didn't fall asleep with his eyes closed, he just felt cold and tired.

Since learning that Shanhaiguan had fallen, Li Hongzhang has become more and more silent.

The eldest son, Li Jingfang, fell into Shanhaiguan, and his life and death were unknown, and he ——。

The following speculations, Li Hongzhang trembled and didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Although he is the No. 1 important minister of the Qing Dynasty, he is also a doting father of his children.

Since the beginning of last year, he was tricked by the emperor, the old man, and the imperial party, and was forced to fight this damn Qing-Japanese war by the group of fools who took the country's righteousness with the world's clear stream.

Sheng Army, Yi Army, Wu Yi Army, Ming Army, Renzi Army, Qinqing Army, Gong Sui Army, Song Wu Army, Liu Gongdao Protector Army, Gong Guard Army, Dagu Artillery, more than 80 battalions of elite troops were broken up and divided.

His sailors suffered heavy casualties, spent tens of millions of taels of silver, and Weihai Weijun Port, which had been painstakingly operated for more than ten years, also fell into the hands of the enemy.

Wei Rugui, Ye Zhichao, Wei Rucheng, Zhao Huaiye, Zhang Wenxuan, Dai Zongqian, Gong Zhaoxi, Zhang Guangqian, Huang Shilin, Lu Benyuan, Sun Xianyin, Liu Shengxiu, Yuan Shikai, Zhou Fu, He Changying, Xu Bangdao, Jia Qisheng, Xia Qingyun, Li Jingfang, Tang Shaoyi, Luo Rongguang, Lin Taizeng, Deng Shichang, Lin Yongsheng, Lin Luzhong, Huang Jianxun,——

The Zhiyuan ship sank, and Deng Shichang committed suicide in the sea with the ship.

After the sinking of the warship, Lin Yongsheng committed suicide in the sea with the ship.

The Yangwei ship sank, and Lin Luzhong committed suicide in the sea with the ship.

The super brave ship sank, and Huang Jianxun committed suicide in the sea with the ship.

Weihaiwei, the fall of Liugong Island, Zhang Wenxuan, Dai Zongqian, committed suicide and martyrdom.

These old friends who have followed him Li Hongzhang for many years, love generals, sons and nephews, those who have been imprisoned, those who have been in prison, those who have raided their homes, those who have beheaded their beheadings, those who have been martyred, and those who have disappeared.

Can he Li Hongzhangan not hurt?

All this is to deal with him Li Hongzhang and dismember his Beiyang!

The emperor, Weng Tongxi, and the emperor party of the world, Qingliu, are just hiding behind to make tricks, and playing tricks with morality and righteousness.

But his own Beiyang son, that is a real bloody death!

When Weihaiwei was on the eve of the day, Li Bingheng held Yantai and Dengzhou with nearly 40 battalions, but only sent 6 battalions and 3 teams to symbolically rescue from the air.

Can he Li Hongzhangan not be angry?

By now, these bastards have stabbed the hornet's nest, been stung all over the head, and actually started to beat him again with the idea of the last heavy army of the Beiyang.

Don't they understand that in the face of the Japanese army's mountainous and forest-like ship group, the entry of warships into the Bohai Sea at this moment is simply tantamount to death?

It's just that they are all talking anyway, and they don't let them risk their lives!

He, Li Hongzhang, couldn't help but want to laugh out loud without being cold.

"Li Bingheng, who was in Yantai, withdrew all his troops to Dengzhou, 'fearing that thieves would take advantage of Ruixi to invade, and retreat to the east because of the retreat to the Laijing border to consolidate the provincial wall.' - These are the beautiful words of Governor Lee; 'This is where I die, and I take a step out of my job. This is the words of Liu Hanfang, who is sticking to Yantai and has no soldiers; ”

Li Hongzhang finally opened his eyes and began to speak: "Mrs. Hao personally sent a spoon of poison and mixed it on her side to strengthen her will, and the couple will die at any time!" ”

His voice grew higher and louder.

The room was buzzed, and everyone changed color.
