Chapter 317: Refuge

Forbidden City, Imperial Garden, Duixiu Mountain. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

In the past two days, Emperor Guangxu was in a good mood, and he got Zhirui's excerpt, Li Hongzhang, an old thing, and finally disbanded the garbage think tank in his governor's palace.

The eldest son went to Weihai, the nephew slipped back to fatten, and the son-in-law also left the government and ran to the garden in the suburbs with his daughters.

This old thing is preparing in advance for the sake of returning to his hometown.

The Criminal Department also submitted the preliminary trial of Ye Zhichao and Wei Rugui.

Wei Rugui plundered in North Korea, feared the enemy in the face of the enemy, retreated step by step, and delayed the overall situation; Ye Zhichao ate empty salaries and abandoned Pyongyang without authorization, resulting in a great defeat on a rainy night and the death of thousands of elite soldiers.

When he saw Guangxu, he was furious, and he couldn't wait to execute these two wine bags and rice bags now.

But that's fine, if the Beiyang Army defeats Dongyang in Korea, when the Sheng army returns to Xiaozhan and Wu Yijun returns to Lutai, won't he be even more unable to sleep?

Now, under the teacher's plan and his own wise command, this Beiyang disaster, which has been lying on the side of the Beijing teacher's couch for decades and has not even been able to solve it by his own father, has finally been successfully solved by himself.

Thinking that soon after, Li Hongzhang will get out, Ye Zhichao, Wei Rugui will be imprisoned and even beheaded, Ding Ruchang will be dismissed, and Song Qing will wrestle between himself and Li Hongzhang this time, and he will also know that the affairs of the times have fallen to him.

Guangxu was in a good mood.

"Now that Song Qing has stabilized the defense line of the Yalu River, this winter, I will continue to send elite troops to Liaodong; Wait until the beginning of spring next year, and our strong Qing elite soldiers will counterattack to Seoul in one fell swoop and drive the Japanese into the sea! ”

Guangxu and Concubine Zhen sat in the pavilion on the mountain, and with Guangxu's bold words, her apple face showed a look of adoration.

Guangxu saw that his heart was bright, and he continued to say to Concubine Zhen: "Then, I will order the Guangzhou Naval Division, the Fujian Naval Division, and the Nanyang Naval Division, all of which will go north to join forces with the Beiyang Naval Division, and select a capable general to replace Ding Ruchang, an incompetent guy, and destroy the warships of the Oriental children at sea in one fell swoop; ”

"Ten years ago, our Daqing defeated the Western power France, this time let's teach a hard lesson to this eyeless little Oriental on the side, our Daqing is a first-class power in the world and Britain, France, Germany and Russia, on an equal footing; Haha-"

Speaking of this, Guangxu couldn't help but laugh happily.

"The emperor is so powerful!"

Concubine Zhen's face was flushed, this sentence 'so powerful' couldn't help but make Guangxu's heart move slightly, he had almost half a year, and he didn't give his concubines a lot of rain.

Looking at Concubine Zhen's pink face, Guangxu couldn't help but feel hot in his lower abdomen, and there was a rare 'slight hardness' underneath.

"You're waiting for my preaching tonight."

Guangxu looked at Concubine Zhen and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Concubine Zhen was happy and ashamed, not only her face was red, her little ears were red, her eyes were full of water, and she was wet even below.

Concubine Zhen, as a half-mature young woman who has tasted the taste of men and women, has been trapped and died in this deserted garden all year round, bored and lonely, and almost crazy.

Only these shameful and blushing men and women can make Concubine Zhen find a trace of passion and the fun of life that makes her heart beat.

"Emperor Qi, Weng Shangshu, Bachelor Li asks to see."

An old eunuch whispered with low eyebrows.

"Xuan!"

Guangxu was slightly stunned, thinking that he had just seen him in the morning, it was going to be dark at night, and what was the new change?

"Your Majesty, Song Qing and Yi Ketang A called, and the Qi Zi Lian Army and the Korean Aid Army under the command of the deputy commander of the Japanese joined forces in the morning to annihilate a group of Japanese cavalry, and none of the more than 30 horsemen escaped."

Li Hongzao reported with a happy face.

It is said that this bit of military exploit is not worth Li Hongzao and Weng Tonggong rushing into the palace to meet them in such a hurry, but both of them keenly saw the deeper things hidden behind this telegram.

Over the years, in order to balance the Beiyang forces, in the case of an empty treasury, the household department controlled by Weng Tonggong still squeezed silver from the cracks in his hands, and vigorously cultivated the military strength of non-Beiyang, especially the military strength of the banner people.

Because the flag soldiers and green battalions of the whole country have rotted to the roots, so now, in the land of Zhili and Longxing in the northeast, they have only trained four decent training armies.

Yiketang Ajing Border Army, Zuo Precious Feng Army, Wu Heng's Qi Zi Army, Fengsheng A's Jilin Training Army.

As a result, after only one trip to North Korea, he was killed by the Beiyang army and Feng Sheng, Zuo Guigui.

After that, the remnants of the Jilin Lian Army were assigned to the Wei Heng Forehead, and the Feng Army was dismembered and swallowed by Nie Guilin, who was subordinate to Beiyang, and He Changying.

It can be said that when the news came back to China, it was a shock to the Manchu Dynasty.

Now by starting a war with the East, Li Hongzhang is finally about to fall.

Even Song Qing judged the situation and chose to return to obedience.

However, after Li Hongzhang got out, how to properly deal with the Beiyang land and water armies has become a difficult problem in front of everyone.

The emperor attached great importance to Nie Shicheng, who took the initiative to lead troops to reinforce Taiwan and resist the French fleet ten years ago, Luo Rongguang, the defender who was known as the first fort of the Qing Dynasty, and He Changying, who won three battles and three victories - now it should be four battles and four victories.

Especially this He Changying, the emperor even has the idea of being his future number one general to focus on training.

And all this, there are two problems in front that are difficult to bypass, and if these two problems are not solved perfectly, the emperor will not use him He Changying at all.

The first is that He Changying is from Beiyang, and the second is that he is still Li Hongzhang's Feixi hometown.

Originally, this matter could only be put aside first, and there seemed to be no clue about the solution, but today, the Korean reinforcement army actually took the initiative to join forces with the Qizi army, which made these two bigwigs see the opportunity to break the situation.

You must know that in the history of Beiyang, unless there is a clear order from above, not counting the last time the Feng army and the Korean reinforcement army ambushed Dongxian Ling, there was a time when the following army and other armies took the initiative to join forces.

Does this mean that He Changying, a little slippery head, has slowly seen the situation clearly and wants to break away from Beiyang and take refuge in the imperial court?

Weng Tongxiao's heart is cool.

- Aren't you Li Hongzhang capable? I want He Changying to be your eldest son's right-hand man, and your Li family will continue to control Beiyang.

Now the old man is going to pull your emerging star of Beiyang into the emperor's camp, old guy, you will definitely be half angry, right?

Haha, I worked hard to measure, but I ended up making a wedding dress for the emperor!

"Oh, yes, yes, a good start; This He Changying lives up to my high hopes. ”

Guangxu listened to Li Hongzao's recital, nodded with a smile, and looked at his two henchmen and ministers with some confusion.

He didn't understand that compared to tens of thousands of troops, this enemy annihilated more than 30 horsemen, why did he let these two military planes, the prime minister and the minister of Yamen, come to run this trip in person?

For this student of his own, Weng Tongxiao obviously knows more than Li Hongzao, so Weng Tonggong seems to be very unintentionally nodding:

"Your Majesty, this is a telegram from the Yamen, the governor of Jinmen; This time, the Korean reinforcement army and the Qizi training army took the initiative to join forces and actively cooperate to seek fighters, which is really commendable! ”

"Telegram—"

Before Weng Tongyi's words were finished, Guangxu's eyes lit up, and only then did he understand the meaning of the teacher's words - He Changying wanted to break away from Beiyang and join the imperial court?

This is really a great news, with this tiger general, in the next few decades, even if he has a Dinghai Divine Needle that deters Bianyi!

Guangxu excitedly took the telegram that Li Hongzao respectfully presented and read it carefully.
