As soon as he heard Tang Shaoyi's words, 'As soon as the Japanese soldiers appear in Tongzhou, the war will be over', and 'the following is the matter of the imperial court's compensation for silver', the faces of the officers of the anti-Japanese army sitting by the fire became very unsightly.

Even Xu Bangdao, Jia Qisheng, and Xia Qingyun also had big black faces.

As an old general of the Beiyang Department of the Qing Dynasty, especially when the anti-Japanese army won a great victory all the way, they are actually defeated and suing for peace, and of course there is no trace of good looks on their faces.

And what made them even more annoyed was that although Tang Shaoyi's words were ugly, he really didn't know how to refute them.

"If you follow your wishes, let's go to King Jingshi Qin a few handfuls now, and just disband and go home to hug the concubine and tease the grandson!"

Xu Bangdao had a dark face and said in a muffled voice: "The joint fight is so hard, and so many brothers have died, it turns out that they all died in vain?" ”

"You can't say that, you still have to go; The first is our attitude, and second, if there are more troops, the imperial court will have confidence, and the Japanese army will not dare to open its mouth indiscriminately. ”

Tang Shaoyi looked at He Changying and said, "According to my inference, with the collapse of the Gan army, the big battle is basically officially over. ”

He Changying sat by the fire with a cold face, her eyes looking at the jumping flames and not knowing what to think.

The crowd stopped talking, waiting for his decision.

"This country belongs to the imperial court, but ——, is also the country of the people of the world;"

As He Changying's dry and cold words came out, everyone seemed to feel that the flames in the fire seemed to be stagnant.

A kind of mysterious and mysterious, which makes people's backs cold, scalp numb, and heart tremble, appeared in the hearts of these generals.

This seems to be just a very common sentence, and there seems to be some truth to it.

But from He Changying's mouth, speaking in an indisputable tone, everyone heard an unusual meaning.

A fierce, torn, resolute, and forward-looking!

- The country is the imperial court.

- However, this country is also the people of the world!

If the court is more specific, it is the royal family, if it is more specific, 'the whole world is not the king's land', then this country is the emperor and Guangxu's.

However.

It's also -

Target!

He Changying, is he a common man?

Yes, of course!

In He Changying's words, everyone heard 'the prince will have a kind of Xiangning', 'he can take his place', this kind of golden and iron-clad sound!

At this time, many people can't help but think of the legend about that summer night thirty years ago.

"There is no owner in the southeast half of the wall, do I care?"

"The weight of the tripod seems to be questionable!"

Wen Zhenggong used this sentence 'Relying on the sky and the sea to see countless flowers, flowing water and high mountains, I know myself!' It calmed down the commotion of those summer nights.

Today, it seems vaguely similar to back then, but when you look closely, it is very different.

At that time, it was an internal trouble, and the entire southeast half of the country was destroyed, while the provinces of Ludong, Henan, Zhili, Gansu, Shaanxi, and Sichuan in the north of the Yangtze River were basically unharmed.

Zeng Wenzhenggong and the Xianghuai forces had 300,000 heavy troops, but the mountains of each department were numerous, and under the deliberate differentiation of the imperial court, internal friction continued, and Zeng Gong's control ability was extremely weak.

And now it is a foreign humiliation, and the rest of the Qing Dynasty is stable, but it is Liaodong, the hometown of the Eight Banners, and the current imperial city of Zhili, but it has been beaten into a mess.

The strength of the anti-Japanese army was only a fraction of that of Xianghuai, but because of the sudden rise, the imperial court did not have time to set up a trap, and the cohesion of the troops was extremely high.

If ——, then it is possible!

As a result, many people are afraid to think about it anymore.

In the quiet, He Changying looked at the expressions of the generals in a circle, some excited, some confused, some excited, and some palpitated,——

He smiled slightly, continued to use a cold voice, and said in a deep voice: "So this war, as long as there is still a Chinese to say that it is not over, as long as there is still a Chinese fighting with a gun, then it will not end ——,!" ”

"At 5 o'clock tomorrow morning, the whole army will set up camp and target Hongqiao Village;"

He Changying stood up and said in a calm voice: "Incorporate Gan Jun." ”

On the morning of February 17 in the Western calendar, the main force of the Anti-Japanese Army Mountain Naval Regiment arrived in Hongqiao Village and forcibly recruited 3,500 Gan soldiers who carried their own guns.

More than 2,800 rifled guns were immediately distributed, plus the vanguard infantry battalion of the Gan army, and more than 700 Mauser fast guns owned by the vanguard cavalry battalion, and the 3,500 Gan troops were redressed in an instant.

All of the 2,800 breech rifles confiscated were handed over to the recruits who were also in charge of the separate battalion.

The remaining 1,800 soldiers who fled and lost their guns in the Jizhou defense line were temporarily led by the indignant Gan army guerrilla Wang Hua, and He Changying's plan was to either go west to Yanjing together, or these Gan troops waited here for Liu Kunyi's army.

Wang Hua naturally refused to march with the anti-Japanese army, so at noon that day, the anti-Japanese army immediately pulled out its camp and marched westward.

In view of the loss of the Jizhou defense line, the anti-Japanese army immediately changed the route of the march, and will go straight to Zhangjiawan after going down to the first line of Cang, Niudaokou and Xianghe.

And in the whole day on the 17th, the 2nd and 3rd Brigades of the Japanese Cavalry also traveled nearly 100 miles in a hurry.

The North Road Detachment circled Yanjiao Town in the north, went up along the Chaobai River, and arrived in Shunyi in the afternoon of the same day, leaving one cavalry squadron, and the remaining two cavalry squadrons turned west and continued to advance.

The South Road Detachment crossed the Chaobai River in the south and then turned westward, quickly bypassed the Zhangjiawan Hubei Army Camp, and arrived at Qianyanshang Village by the Liangshui River that night, which was less than ten miles away from the first target, Maju Town.

After the 3rd Brigade dropped a cavalry squadron here, the rest of the troops rested for a while and continued westward to the town of Daxing, forty miles away.

In the process, the Japanese cavalry wing did not commit any crimes, but they were afraid of disturbing the Qing army.

According to the operational plan of the General Staff of the 1st Army, the main force of the 1st Army will arrive outside Tongzhou near night today.

And by 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, the cavalry units must arrive in the designated area.

began to burn and loot, burning the flames of war all around Yanjing, and deterring the emperor of the Qing Dynasty from fleeing Yanjing.

What Shan County Youpeng and everyone in the 1st Army of the Japanese Army didn't know was that because of Nie Shicheng's existence, Yanjing knew the details of Jizhou at least ten hours in advance.

This is an extremely precious ten hours, as long as the Qing royal family reacts quickly, it is completely possible to complete the escape on the afternoon of the 17th.

However, according to the tradition of the Qing Dynasty, these times that Nie Shicheng desperately fought for were also wasted in the quarrels between the princes and ministers.

At 9 o'clock in the morning of the same day, Nie Shicheng rushed to Tongzhou, and suddenly the Beijing division was disturbed, and the ministers lost color.

The Gan army, which had won two great victories in a row, was actually defeated, and it collapsed on the whole line!

Emperor Guangxu, who was angry at that time, threw a room of things, and then hurriedly convened his ministers to discuss.

There was a quarrel in the hall, some said that the emperor was invited to patrol immediately, and then this said to patrol Xi'an, that said to patrol Wuhan, and some said to patrol Chengdu, and even more outrageous even said to patrol Shanghai, Guangdong.

Especially when he heard Yang Rong, the left waiter of the Ministry of Industry, propose to go to Guangdong, Guangxu was so angry that his face turned green.

At this time, another group of 'invited names' stood up excitedly, saying that there were 120,000 forbidden troops in Beijing, 10,000 sharp military troops, and 20,000 provincial troops in Tongzhou and Zhangjiawan.

Even if you don't count Liu Kun's army in Luanzhou, only these 150,000 troops can fight against the 10,000 or 20,000 Japanese soldiers at the end of the strong army.

One of the radical ministers even loudly demanded that Guangxu and the Manchu princes and ministers stay in Yanjing, 'swear to survive!' ’

As soon as these words came out, not only Guangxu's face became able to drip ink, but also the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty looked at the little Shaoqing of Taichang Temple as if they were stupid.

In the controversy just now, even the Qingliu of the 'invitation to fame' was careful to avoid the matter of 'hunting', and only said that he could let go of the battle, is there such an idiot who lacks a string in his brain.

I don't know how I got to where I am now?
