Chapter 156: You still dare to laugh

This Ye Zhichao is already outdated, including Wei Rugui, Jiang Zikang, Ma Yukun, and other veterans who followed their father back then. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

The future of Beiyang depends on these young people.

At this moment, Li Jingfang seemed to have some enlightenment.

"Let's go, let's go meet He Shoubei."

Ye Zhichao lifted his spirits, and a smile exploded on his face.

Although it was not what he expected, it was a great thing for him anyway.

Two days ago, the emperor issued an edict to severely reprimand himself for retreating in Pyongyang, and with this military exploit, not only did he not defeat his previous theory of fearing the enemy, but this time he was indispensable for his own reward.

Outside the Daqing Gate, the temporary station of the Korean Army.

Wu Weiyang led a cavalry company and a large amount of materials to Pyongyang City this morning, and immediately heard the bad news that the Korean reinforcement army had been annihilated at Dongxian Ridge.

At that time, Wu Weiyang almost fainted.

The soldiers of the entire cavalry company were all excited, and they demanded to go to Huangzhou County immediately to fight the Japanese army.

Wu Weiyang forcibly ordered the cavalry company to be stationed in the temporary camp, and he asked Zuo Guigui to personally inquire about the twenty-one Feng troops who had escaped.

However, Zuo Guigui said that he had transferred the twenty-one people to Anzhou.

So today, Wu Weiyang spent his day in great suffering.

Regarding He Changying's military ability, Wu Weiyang didn't dare to say anything lightly, but Lin Yunyu and Shen Zhaoao were together with He Changying, how could they easily fall into the encirclement and ambush of the Japanese army?

For a whole day, there was a deathly silence in the camp of the Korean reinforcement army, and the hearts of all the officers and soldiers were weighed like a mountain.

When it was close to dinner time, the news of the arrival of the Japanese army suddenly came, and the entire cavalry company suddenly boiled, grinding their guns and immediately trying to fight the Japanese army.

Wu Weiyang and Duan Xiongbo hurriedly suppressed the disturbance of the soldiers, and prepared to go to the Datong Gate Tower to ask for battle, but they were surprised to see that the soldiers of the three forts on the other side of the bridge rushed out.

Wu Weiyang hurriedly took the binoculars to check, and then his whole body began to tremble.

"Big win! Victory! ”

Soon, everyone saw Mao Chao and his party running across the Datong River with three horses, shouting all the way and the voice faintly came:

"I came to the aid of the Korean army, joined forces with the army, and completely annihilated the entire army of the 11th Brigade of the 11th Wing of the Japanese Army in Dongxian Ridge, killed 899 Japanese soldiers, captured 229 Japanese soldiers, and captured alive the captain of the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Army, Ichido Guard Shaozuo!"

"Oh——!"

The soldiers of the cavalry company shouted and jumped up one after another, and rushed towards the three horsemen of Datongmen.

Tonight, on the banks of the Taedong River, the city of Pyongyang, is destined to have no sleep!

Jinmen, the Yamen of the Governor of Zhili, the inner house.

Li Hongzhang ate two chopsticks stewed crab roe lion's head, then put down the chopsticks tastelessly, and the whole family ate silently around the big table.

Although the news of the defeat of Pyongyang's new army was tightly sealed, it would not be long before Pyongyang's merchant ships traveling to and from Seoul every day would spread the shocking news.

Then there was the national uproar.

Just like what Ye Zhichao did in Asan without firing a shot and fled in embarrassment, didn't it also come from the mouths of businessmen in Pyongyang?

Although in Jinmen and Jingshi, everyone didn't say it explicitly, but there was no one in private who didn't comment on this matter.

Which one is not full of laughter, schadenfreude disdain!

Even the two people in the palace should have heard about Ye Zhichao's scandal in Asan.

But now that the Pyongyang war is about to start, everyone is holding their breath and waiting for the outcome of the war.

If you win, then everything before will naturally be suspended.

But what if you lose?

Li Hongzhang couldn't help but shudder.

The group of people of the imperial party are now holding back their strength and waiting to put themselves Li Hongzhang and the Huai system into the mud completely, and they will never be able to turn over!

At the end of August, the vanguard of the imperial party, Weng Tongyi's protégé, and the teacher of Concubine Zhen and Concubine Jin, who was to be a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy, wrote a letter to impeach him for "declining and mediocre and delaying the overall situation".

Even his son-in-law, Zhang Peilun, who is now unofficial and unemployed, was scolded by Wen Tingshi as "the fast son-in-law of the East Bed", and ridiculed his son-in-law for "learning to study and not learning to fight, and he was defeated and walked away from the cave house".

His Wenting-style friend Liang Dingfen entrusted his wife to him, but as a result, this Wenting-style shamelessly occupied Mrs. Liang's body, and gave birth to three children for him in one go.

Li Hongzhang was not angry and wrote to the emperor to defend himself, but the emperor reprimanded himself instead, and he couldn't do it.

Just thinking about it, Li Hongzhang's heart was sad for a while.

What's the matter, Lafayette has a mirror in his heart.

But when it comes to her love for Xinjueluo, she hid in the courtyard and watched coldly at herself and the veterans who fought hard for the Qing Dynasty in the Huai Army, and were abused by these emperors little by little.

Yesterday, Li Hongzhang specially asked Sheng Huaixuan to go to the concession and touch the consuls of Britain, Germany, Russia, the United States and France, but still found nothing.

"It seems that the battle in Pyongyang must be fought; Why hasn't Youqiao come back yet, it's been a day, what telegram can there be? ”

Li Hongzhang secretly hated himself in his heart, and missaw He Changying, the 'Zhao Kuo' who can only talk about rhetoric, which made him extremely passive now.

I still wanted to give Jing Pu to this little bastard before, but I was really confused.

It's better for this kid to die in battle, otherwise he will inevitably be accused of beheading and going to prison when he comes back!

Li Jingpu silently lowered her head to eat vegetables, chewed a bean sprout for a long time, and still did not enter her lips, only one day, her already thin and pretty face was reduced even more.

Li Jurong glanced at her sister worriedly, and replied softly to her father: "Pei Lun said that there are more than 1,000 people, how can it be so easy——, he wants to wait and see." ”

"What are you waiting for?"

Li Hongzhang endured a day's anger and finally couldn't help but erupt: "Nearly a thousand baby soldiers in my Beiyang Academy, my future foundation of Beiyang, let this incompromising thing be defeated in one fell swoop, what do you want to wait for?" He Changying can really escape, and I will also cut off his head to correct military discipline! ”

Li Jurong glanced at her sister quickly, and when she saw that her head was lower, she said with a forced smile: "Father, although the damage this time is huge, the main force of our army in Pyongyang is still there, and my father must not move and hurt his body." ”

"Naka, naka—"

Outside the house far away, Zhang Peilun shouted all the way to run.

The house is full of horror, and I don't know if such shouting is a great blessing or a great disaster?

But just thinking about Pyongyang's decadence makes everyone's hearts sigh.

Could it be Pyongyang?

Li Jingfang's successor Zhang, the side room He, and the eldest daughter Li Guoxiang are even more pale.

"The sky can't fall yet!"

Li Hongzhang looked at the children at the table and said angrily.

But in just a few breaths, Li Hongzhang's blood almost stopped flowing.

Now apart from Pyongyang, how can there be anything worth shouting about so loudly?

And if the Japanese army had marched all the way, they would have reached Pyongyang today.

Could it be that in one day, the city of Pyongyang will be in a hurry and cannot be defended!

Li Hongzhang hid his hands under the table with difficulty, not letting his children see him, the trembling hands of the pillars in this room.

"Nakato—"

Zhang Peilun pushed the door and rushed in.

"You're in your fifties, why are you still so frizzy! The sky fell? ”

Li Hongzhang scolded his son-in-law angrily: "After following me for so many years, why hasn't your frivolous temperament changed at all?" How dare you laugh! ”

Li Hongzhang angrily raised his big hand under the table, and was about to slap the table and lose his temper.

Suddenly, Li Hongzhang's big hand hovered in mid-air, the language was strange, and the tone was incomparably incomparable, and he said word by word: "You-still-dare-laugh?" ”

It's just that the last word 'laugh' has turned into a question after a huge surprise.
