Can you keep it?

In a word, the whole living room is silent. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

He Changying looked at Li Hongzhang, and in his eyes, He Changying saw an old man who cherished and reluctantly cherished the past that he had worked so hard for.

As long as Lushun does not fall, no matter how much he Li Hongzhang is slandered by the public outside, in his heart, there is always the benchmark of Lushun, and there is always a trace of pride in his own insistence.

"Dada-"

The huge Western floor clock walked unhurriedly, and the time was close to eight o'clock in the evening, and the 'click' bell rang to the hearts of everyone in the Li family.

"Lushun will never be lost, I promise."

He Changying looked at Li Hongzhang very seriously and said his guarantee.

At this moment, he not only assured Li Hongzhang, but also assured the nearly 40,000 people gathered in Lushun City.

"Okay, okay, I, Li Hongzhang, have seen a lot of people and things wrong in my life, and in the end, there is finally one that did not disappoint me; He Anzhi, you are very good! ”

Although Li Hongzhang tried his best to restrain himself, He Changying still saw the tear in the corner of his eye.

"This visit, the first is to come to meet Lord Zhongtang, and the second is to have a reluctant request, and I hope that Zhongtang will allow it."

He Changying took a sip of hot tea, looked at Li Hongzhang and said.

"Ahh

A few exclamations of women came from the back wing, and then there was a deep silence inside and out.

Li Hongzhang, Li Jingfang, and Zhang Peilun all looked at He Changying like ghosts.

This kid can't be dizzy and wants to propose, right? Isn't he ruining his future!

"Since it's a reluctant invitation, don't talk about it yet."

When Li Hongzhang heard this, he was a little anxious.

Getting a good son-in-law, compared with inheriting the huge foundation of Beiyang, which is more important, he Li Hongzhang has a clear share.

And at this juncture, once this matter is mentioned, once it gets out, He Changying will not only be finished, but even his second daughter Jingpu will inevitably be cursed by the world, slandering his father and daughter for ruining a Qing Dynasty's general.

"Uh——, I just want to ask Brother Li to be the general office of the battalion office of the Southern Liaoning Command Office, responsible for the logistics of the Sheng Army, the Korean Aid Army, the Gongwei Army, the Renzi Army, and the Jiesheng Battalion."

He Changying was a little baffled by Li Hongzhang, how could this old man not even listen to what he said, so he refused.

"What?"

The living room, the back room, was another surprise.

Li Jingpu, who was sitting on the chair in the back room, almost flew out of his heart just now, and was completely surrounded by huge shyness, happiness, and surprise for a while, and his whole face was as red as rouge.

At this time, it was full of ice in the depths of his heart.

Although she tried her best to restrain her emotions, the pain in her heart was tearing, and she was almost out of breath.

The women in the back room all looked distressed, but they didn't know how to comfort them.

Li Jurong gently hugged her sister, women, the most afraid is to be moved.

"What do you mean, I'm afraid you want Jing Fang to succeed Gong Zhaoxi, right?"

Who is Li Hongzhang, naturally he immediately understood what He Changying meant.

As long as Li Jingfang takes over this errand, even if Liu Kunyi is unwilling, he will pinch his nose and directly appoint Li Jingfang to take over the position of the general office of the Lushun Camp Office.

Now that He Changying has guaranteed that Lushun can be defended, then this is tantamount to giving his eldest son a great credit, and when the war is over in the future, the court will always be willing to give the hat of a political envoy.

What's more critical is that now the world is shouting and killing their Li family, and the court is interrogating Gong Zhaoyu and these people, just to rectify their own black materials.

There is also Zhang Shiheng, who was imprisoned in the yamen of the governor of Liangjiang, whose situation is unknown.

If the eldest son goes to Lushun at this time, the pressure on himself will be reduced a lot.

It's just that Li Hongzhang's self-esteem does not allow him to agree to this matter, and he was just about to refuse, when Li Jingfang, who had been paying attention to his father's face next to him, hurriedly said: "Father, I am willing to go." ”

Li Hongzhang opened his mouth and was speechless.

Zhang Peilun, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but envy Li Jingfang's blessings.

However, Li Jingfang and He Changying have always had a good relationship, and he can't envy this matter, and his current business is mainly to accompany Li Hongzhang, which is the first major thing.

Therefore, Zhang Peilun said with a smile: "Zhongtang, An Zhi's proposal is not only for the court, but also for the matter between the two brothers, I don't think we should get involved." ”

"Haha-"

Li Hongzhang couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and said to Li Jingfang: "You recognize a good brother." ”

The hot buns were served, He Changying was so enjoyable that she couldn't even call it delicious, and at this time, the bell rang at eight o'clock.

He Changying was ready to leave the Li family, not only did he not delay Li Hongzhang's rest, but there were still many things waiting for him to deal with at the Dagu Military Station.

These are things that cannot be said in the telegram.

"What do you think about Liaoyang, the imperial court recruited you back, you always have some bottom in your heart, right?"

Li Hongzhang is rarely so energetic, and he wants to have a deep talk with He Changying.

"Losing Yingkou, the troops everywhere can only land at Shanhaiguan, and then trek to Liaoyang, I guess that Youpeng in Shanxian County will not be so stupid and wait, and the war in Liaoyang will break out within ten days at most."

He Changying said affirmatively: "After the occupation of Liaoyang and Fengtian, there are friends in Shanxian County who will point to Shanhaiguan; Now it is useless to say that the battle in Liaoyang is no longer useful, and the top priority is to hold the Shanhaiguan Pass and not let the Japanese army enter the customs easily. ”

As soon as the word is spoken, the house is full of shock!

Li Hongzhang's eyebrows trembled again and again, and after a long time, he said with difficulty: "Will the emperor let you send troops from southern Liaoning?" ”

"Let's not talk about whether we can cross the defensive line of Dashan Rock, even if it is tragically crossed, it will be too late in time; Including the subsequent defense of Shanhaiguan, if the threat of the Japanese fleet is not lifted by water, there is no possibility at all to transport troops by water. ”

He Changying replied very resolutely, but helplessly.

"There's no other way?"

Just think about it, thousands of Japanese soldiers rushed into Zhili to burn and loot, and this newly retired governor of Zhili became much older in an instant.

He Changying shook his head, defeated the Second Army, and said it was a matter of one sentence.

However, if we do not complete the integration of the armies in Port Arthur, do not have a large number of high-explosive bombs and grenade bombs, and do not first consume the material reserves of the Second Army little by little, how difficult it is to achieve this goal.

It all takes a lot of time.

And Liaoyang, Fengtian, including Shanhaiguan in the near future, what is most lacking is time.

"For today's plan, the only way to do this is to take the initiative to abandon Fengtian and withdraw the Liaoyang army to Shanhaiguan; In this way, it was possible to stop the Japanese offensive in the south. ”

He Changying said in a deep voice: "Other than this, I don't see any better choice. ”

Li Hongzhang shook his head with difficulty and said: "Fengtian is the place where the Qing Dynasty arose, and the ancestors of the Eight Banners are buried, and no one dares to say give up." ”

Speaking of this, Li Hongzhang glanced at He Changying very seriously, and said softly: "Say these words, when you are in power, others can say that you are worried about the country and the people, and dare to speak out; When he lost power, he had ill intentions and was involved in the heinous crimes of the nine clans. ”

He Changying's heart couldn't help shrinking, he looked at Li Hongzhang gratefully, knowing that Li Hongzhang was reminding him that he should be cautious when he and Liu Kunyi met the emperor tomorrow, including later.

These heartfelt words that are difficult to speak lightly from people, not to mention that they still come from the mouth of the first important minister of the Qing Dynasty, He Changying can't help but be grateful, and he attaches great importance to it.
