"The 3 battalions and 2 posts of the Jiesheng battalion, and now the two battalions of Xiongyue City and Fuzhou City, under the deliberate delay of Tong Maoyin, have not come for a long time, and Cheng Zhiwei's big smoke soldiers, these 3,000 troops cannot be counted on; The reinforcement army only came with more than 100 cavalry today, and the rest did not even see the shadow of ghosts. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Lian Shun said with a dark face: "If Zhao Huaiye doesn't send troops, how can this Jinzhou City be defended?" It's the 8th of October, and alas—"

Lian Shun sighed: "The day after tomorrow is Lafayette's 60th birthday!" To put it mildly, even if the Golden State is lost, you must also think about it until the eleventh! ”

Everyone was silent, and their hearts were as heavy as a rock.

When Lian Shun and Xu Bangdao arrived at Zhao Huaiye's mansion in Dalian Bay, although it was already nine o'clock in the evening, the front of the mansion was brightly lit and full of carriages.

Groups of servants, soldiers, were busy carrying precious things to the chariots.

"You have all listened to me, the things are safely transported to Lushun, and everyone will reward them; If any eyeless turtle grandson wants to get Lao Tzu's things, don't blame Lao Tzu for picking his dog skin alive! ”

Zhao Huaiye stood at the door of the mansion, and after saying it loudly, he carefully explained to his nephew Zhao Liuhong beside him: "You can stare me to death all the way, your uncle and I have accumulated all the belongings in Dalian for many years, and there is no room for loss." ”

Lian Shun and Xu Bangdao glanced at each other, and they both saw the anger and helplessness in each other's eyes.

This is all about to burn his eyebrows, but this general with a heavy army is only thinking about the money in his house!

"Two adults, this battle is really beautiful today, I went to Monk Island to look at it for a long time, but I didn't let the Japanese soldiers go further."

When the carriage left, Zhao Huaiye saw Lian Shun and Xu Bangdao, endured the boredom in his heart, squeezed out a smiling face, and arched his hand to speak.

"General Zhao, the Japanese are powerful, and the lips are dead and the teeth are cold!"

Lian Shun's words made Zhao Huaiye frown unhappily.

"General Zhao, the future is the sixtieth birthday of Lafayette, and Jinzhou and your Dalian Bay are close at hand; In case the loss of Golden State disturbs the interest of Lafayette, I am afraid that the adults will not be able to get out of it. ”

Xu Bangdao was also tired of praying again and again, and he understood what Zhao Huaiye was, so he directly threatened Zhao Huaiye.

After hearing Xu Bangdao's words, Zhao Huaiye's face showed a look of fear.

Zhao Huaiye, who had been talking for an hour and was in a dilemma, finally agreed to lead troops to reinforce the next day.

waited until Lian Shun and Xu Bangdao were sent away, but Zhao Huaiye found his nephew Zhao Liuhong squatting in the corner by the door post with a sad face.

Zhao Huaiye was shocked, and scolded: "I asked you to escort things, why are you hiding here?" ”

"Everything, everything, has been detained by the Korean reinforcements."

Zhao Liuhong stammered and finished speaking, and the angry Zhao Huaiye was so dizzy that he almost fell to the ground.

"What? There are 150,000 taels of silver, 300 taels of gold bars, and the rest of the gold, silver, jewelry, jade, and sandalwood are added together, which is no less than 340,000 taels! ”

Zhao Huaiye angrily went up and kicked his fat pig nephew: "Where's your gun?" They say it's a button! ”

"There are a lot of them, and besides, we and Mao Chao are both Feixi fellow villagers; It's not like they won't pay it back—"

"What a fart fellow, now the pit is the fellow! See if I don't lead troops to kill - what? ”

Zhao Huaiye was talking with a hideous face, and suddenly reacted and asked, "Are they willing to return our family's silver?" ”

"Mao Chao said that he wants the sixteen unopened camp fast guns transported by the Shanghai Bureau in our arsenal."

"Give it to him!"

"And those 600 new guns."

"Give it to him!"

"And—"

"You tell Mao Chao to let him send someone to take over the arsenal, and he can move it all if he has the strength; Tens of thousands of troops outside Jinzhou City, how many days can Lian Shun support them? Holding on to death is just trying to survive until after Lafayette's birthday. ”

As an old general, although Zhao Huaiye is greedy for life and afraid of death, he still has a basic vision:

"In this Dalian Bay, the warships of the Japanese can drive directly in; Pointing to these six batteries, the muzzles of a warship are more than all of us combined, how to fight? When the water is booming, tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers will rush over from Jinzhou, and they can't run, so they want these obstructive things to eat? Give them all! If Golden State is lost, they will dismantle the Krupp guns on the battery, and I won't squeak! ”

Dalian Bay, Nanling Pass.

"Chief of Staff, I don't understand why we are building a defensive line in Nanguanling; Dalian Bay relies on the forts, and if the naval division comes over with a few warships to provide firepower, as long as the troops are sufficient, they can completely block the Japanese army outside the bay. ”

Intern staff officer Huang Bojie stood in front of Zhao Huaiye's convoy, and let out a cold snort in his nose: "It's really three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver." ”

"Zhao Huaiye is not greedy; He had been pressed by Liu Shengxiu before, but this time Liu Shengxiu was transferred to Jiulian City, and he could be regarded as getting through. ”

Shen Zhaoao's fingers clasped the sandalwood coffee table on the carriage beside him: "Saying these words proves that you still don't understand the Chinese people; There is no shortage of those who support the scene, fall into the well, cross the river and tear down the bridge, and stumble to make the yin tricks fan the flames; You are so idealized and so noble, you will only be eaten to the point that there are no bones left. ”

In the depths of Shen Zhaoao's eyes, a slight ray of loneliness flashed.

He patted Huang Bojie on the shoulder and said, "Follow the head of the regiment well, he is the one I have seen-"

Shen Zhaoao paused slightly, and then said, "The greatest one; Discerning, almost demonic, there is no eye that can hide from him, he is simply a masterpiece that has not been seen in China for 3,000 years! ”

Almost at the same time, the Governor's Palace, the Military Affairs Office of the Tongzhou Supervision Office, the Forbidden City's Yangxin Palace, and the back garden of the Summer Palace.

These supreme powers of the Qing Dynasty were all tormented by the war in Jinzhou.

"This Lao Li, at this time, is still pressing Dalian Bay, Lushun's soldiers and horses, if he doesn't save Jinzhou, what does he want to do? The day after tomorrow is my 60th birthday—"

Cixi, who was rarely angry, finally said angrily: "Whoever makes me unhappy today, I will also make him unhappy for life!" ”

Zhili Governor's Palace, back garden, lotus garden.

The weather is cold, and the lotus flowers are gone.

Although it was already ten o'clock in the night, Li Hongzhang, who had a gloomy fire in his heart, still insisted on sitting in the lotus garden.

Light a bag of old cigarettes.

"Daddy, let's come in and sit down, it's so cold outside."

Li Jingpu, Li Jurong, and the two sisters walked over together, begging softly.

"Father,"

At this time, Li Jingfang's voice suddenly came, and several people were stunned.

Li Hongzhang looked at the sound in surprise, only to see a lantern opening the way, and the eldest son Li Jingfang and son-in-law Zhang Peilun walked into the garden.

"Jing Fang, why are you back?"

Li Hongzhang was surprised and delighted, he deliberately sent his eldest son to Weihaiwei before, just because he didn't want him to fall too deep.

But these days, he has figured it out, as long as it is his son Li Hongzhang, even if it is a successor, he can't escape this big whirlpool this time.

"Xiang Lin came with me—"

Li Jingfang continued: "Denglai Qingbing is fine now, and I am not ready to go over. ”

Li Hongzhang complained slightly angrily: "This Liu Hanfang, what did he do when he came to Jinmen; Let the court know, aren't those clear streams afraid that the world will not be chaotic? ”

"Father, let it go."

Li Jingfang just said lightly, and the entire pavilion suddenly fell silent.
