"Okay, you Liu Kunyi, you are simply going to force my general in front of the battle and destroy my Great Wall of the Qing Dynasty!"

After reading a few lines of the secret letter, Guangxu couldn't help but be furious.

In his opinion, since He Changying entered the house, Liu Kunyi's every word has been a lack of trouble, and his dogleg Yi Shunding is even more afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

Just looking at the secret performance, I was furious, not to mention He Changying, the party?

At this time, Guangxu didn't expect that as the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, except for Cixi who occasionally reprimanded him angrily, who would dare to give him a face?

He Changying, as a young second-grade military general in his early twenties, not to mention that Liu Kunyi reprimanded him like this, he took off his pants and squatted on He Changying's head to and pee, according to the principles of the Qing Dynasty, he He Changying also had to endure it with a smile on his face.

Then, Guangxu saw the brutality and sharpness of He Changying's personal soldiers, lawless in the mansion, and killed all sides.

I couldn't help but change color slightly, falling into a gloomy silence.

The temporary residence of the governor of Zhili, the minister of the dignified Qincha, was easily captured by a team of less than 20 people Goshha, and not only did not one die in the first battle, but killed more than 40 guards on Liu Kun's mansion, and captured the full general who held the mansion hostage.

This shows the strength of He Changying's guards and the weakness of Liu Kun's army.

If there are thousands of troops, who can control him?

Just thinking about it, Guangxu shuddered heavily, secretly angry that Liu Kun had the heart to subdue the tiger, but he was a fool who had no power to restrain the chicken!

Guangxu took a sip of bitter tea and continued to read.

Until the end, the generals went out of the pass, and there was a dark silence outside the pass, and there were no soldiers who were making a fuss and wanted to rescue their superiors.

Guangxu's face suddenly improved.

"As a general, you must have a group of Goshha who can serve you at a critical time, so that when you charge into battle, you can win in one fell swoop; Xu Bangdao, Jia Qisheng's personal soldiers are far behind! ”

Guangxu was able to endure and even appreciate that dozens of Goshha were fighting for their masters, but once the number was hundreds and thousands, it was something that he, the emperor, absolutely did not want to see.

At this time, Guangxu, who was hot-tempered, thought about it a little, and then came to a conclusion.

- Liu Kunyi wants to take advantage of the new situation to seize the military power of the three cities outside the Guanwai, and the fundamental purpose behind this is to follow Li Hongzhang and intend to get involved in Beiyang.

"Beiyang belongs to the imperial court!"

In Guangxu's heart, he was suddenly furious, and was about to issue an order to drive Liu Kunyi, an old fellow, back to Liangjiang, when an old eunuch from the Summer Palace kowtowed to the palace to show the friendship of the Queen Mother.

Guangxu's heart 'chuckled', thinking to himself what this old witch wanted to do?

In the afternoon of the same day, in the Summer Palace, seeing Bai Ji and Lian Shun's joint secret music, Cixi's gloomy face was slightly clearer.

For Li Hongzhang, Zhang Zhidong, Liu Kunyi, Liu Mingchuan, these Xianghuai veterans and important ministers, Cixi has a good idea in her heart.

It's just a group of domestic dogs raised by the imperial court, biting each other, just to compete for a few pieces of meat and bones thrown by the imperial court.

No matter how you bite, you can't change the status between the master and the family dog.

But for those emerging young generals, Cixi's heart was always full of vigilance.

Because she was also young.

In the second year of Xianfeng (1852), when he was seventeen years old, he entered this gloomy and splendid palace and was selected as a nobleman of Lan.

In the seventh year of Xianfeng, he was twenty-two years old, and he was promoted to the concubine of Yi.

In the eleventh year of Xianfeng, he was twenty-six years old, the first emperor died, and his five-year-old son Zaichun succeeded to the throne, respected as the concubine of Emperor Yi, launched a coup d'état of Xinyou, killed Su Shun and other eight ministers, and listened to the government.

At that age, all those who were extremely resolute were sharp, sharp, contemptuous of rights, and dared to trample on all laws and regulations.

Once such a young man has sufficient authority to burn the flame of ambition in the depths of his heart, his destructive power will be like a river that breaks its banks, devouring all obstacles that stand in his way.

It can make the whole world tremble!

Bai Ji's telegram only calmed Cixi's worries a little, without this secret letter, she chose to make peace regardless of everything, and even moved the capital, and resolutely immediately hid He Changying completely.

He was sent to a remote village, sharpened him for thirty years, and polished all his edges and sharpness before he was reused by the imperial court.

"Isn't this He Changying able to train soldiers to fight, and when the war subsides, let him go to Xinjiang to defend the border for 30 years, and have a good fight with Tsarist Russian Changmao."

Cixi looked coldly at Guangxu, who was sitting beside her, pretending to watch the play with relish, and said:

"Liu Kunyi is a little too anxious to do this, but in the end, it is for the sake of the court, who will come to see these soldiers and ruffians in Shanhaiguan without him? You said that you want to fight Xiao Yi, and I can't say much about an old woman who can't read a few big characters, but now look at what you are fighting! ”

"Daddy—"

Guangxu was reprimanded so much that his face was red and his neck was thick, but he was powerless to argue.

"Li Hongzhang's matter, it's just that you are in too much of a hurry, now that the court understands foreign affairs and is friendly with foreigners, and there are enough courtiers, who else can there be?"

On the afternoon of January 18 in the Western calendar, several Guangxu, Cixi's holy decrees and Yi decrees came out from the Summer Palace.

Empress Dowager Cixi issued a decree and summoned Li Hongzhang to Beijing immediately for deliberations.

Emperor Guangxu issued an order to Prince Gong to go to Shanhaiguan to inspect the armies, and by the way to appease the generals at the pass.

Under the order, Li Jingfang led the second rank of Jiangsu Cunji Dao, and served as the assistant office of the three cities of the Beiyang Mountain Customs Defense Zone, and the general office of the three cities camp office, specializing in the affairs of the three cities outside the customs.

In this way, Guangxu, a military low-hander, directly and arbitrarily divided the Shanhaiguan integrated defense line into two, and thought that it was a perfect solution to the military obstacles brought about by the dispute between Liu Kunyi and He Changying.

At the same time, he ordered the Weihaiwei Beiyang Naval Division, saying, "Recently, I have heard that there is no trace of the Japanese fleet, and it is suspected that it will return to the East, and it is necessary to send a number of warships to Tianjin Gate to help defend the mountains and seas." ’

At this time, the wire soldiers of the Second Army of the Japanese Army, after nearly seven days of difficult repairs, finally reconnected the telegraph line in Pulandian, 60 miles northeast of Jinzhou.

Immediately, a telegram from Dalian Bay arrived at the Japanese army's base camp across the ocean, and the contents of the content shocked the base camp for a while.

"On January 11, the Qing army broke through on all fronts, but was successfully stopped by our first army; However, the enemy nearly 1,500 horsemen, with the advantage of speed, broke through locally, escaped from the Dalian Jinzhou defense line, destroyed the cable all the way, and was expected to flee to Gaizhou, Yingkou, or Liaoyang, Fengtian into Ji, or Jinzhou, mountains and seas, back to Zhili. ”

From the point of view of the Hiroshima base camp, if the Qing army really returned to Zhili, or passed through Mukden and went to Jilin, the impact on Liaodong would be limited.

I'm afraid that they are entrenched in Yingkou, Liaoyang, Xiuyan, and Phoenix and refuse to go, pointing to the little strength that the first army has placed in various cities, not to mention defense, it is estimated that they can't even see the city gate.

Immediately, the Hiroshima base camp ordered all cities in Liaodong to close the city gates and defend the city.

At the same time, he sent a telegram to Shanhaiguan Yamaguchi Suchen to immediately find the main force of the First Army, and asked Youpeng in Shanxian to transfer back the strength of the two infantry brigades to defend the cities in eastern Liaodong.

The telegram ordered Dalian Bay to convey an order that the Combined Fleet, which was blockading Bohai Bay and waiting for the enemy, should stop 'guarding and waiting for rabbits,' leaving behind a few sealed fast ships, and the rest of the main force would immediately return to Tokyo Bay to escort the 11th Infantry Brigade into Bohai Bay and seek an opportunity to land.
