[1038 Li Hongzhang surrenders]
On the same day, the message was returned to Xuan Jianzhang's hands. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is the advantage of modern communication conditions, not only the army, but now almost all of China, including the Qing court's territories, all large, medium, and small cities have their own telegraph offices, and there are Chinese banks and business names.
Where there are Chinese businessmen, communication is not a problem.
Xuan Jianzhang directly called back President Meng to Yixuan.
Yixuan was overjoyed, "It's still the president, I didn't expect it, it's so good, let's fight, but the Chinese army can't do it, divide the five or six thousand people in my hands into two halves, keep fighting upside down, and don't fight hard, see what he Li Hongzhang should do?" ”
Xuan Jianzhang smiled and nodded, "Everything is arranged by King Xuanjun himself, this kind of thing, I am inconvenient to give advice, if you need any help, you can come to me at any time." ”
"It's not helpful, anyway, you don't need firearms, it's all big knives and spears, it depends on whether Li Hongzhang is ruthless or not, if Li Hongzhang fights back, we just have a mouthful! Master Xuan, please use the Huacui Evening News to help us publicize, just say that Prince Alcohol was insulted by Li Hongzhang during the peace talks with Li Hongzhang, and our unified inspection team decided to declare war on Li Hongzhang when they could not bear it anymore! ”
"Okay." Xuan Jianzhang smiled and agreed to Yixuan's request, thinking that Yixuan was fun, and the unified inspection group? I don't know how you came up with such a foreign name?
During this time, a loose group of Eight Banners Smoke Army, at Yiliang's suggestion, also invited several company platoon commanders of the Chinese Army to come over to help with simple training, otherwise, let alone fighting, they couldn't walk well.
The march of a large army is really not something that ordinary people can do by walking around casually.
Li Hongzhang saw the news from the Huacui Evening News, and was frightened, he didn't expect that Huaguo would really beat himself, and he was in a hurry.
"My lord, shall we run? With more than 20,000 Chinese troops, where can we deal with more than 20,000 Huai troops? Sheng Xuanhuai admonished.
After the Qing court was equal to the name of the extinction, Li Hongzhang's Huai army was also sharply reduced because of several battles with the Chinese army outside the Guan, and after the sharp reduction, there was no money to replenish, so the army became smaller and smaller, and only about 20,000 people remained, and Li Hongzhang took him by his side.
"Run? Where to run? Did you run out of China? Do you want to run to the territory of foreign devils? Even if labor and management die, they will die in China! Li Hongzhang said indignantly, he is still very clear about this, saying that Li Hongzhang is a traitor, obviously wronged the old man, "You go and give an order, let everyone resist desperately, and you are not allowed to fight back!" Don't leave the city! ”
Sheng Xuanhuai was stunned, "This, Lord Zhongtang, what if they attack?" ”
"No matter how they attack? It is a day to be able to keep it. Li Hongzhang said helplessly.
"Okay, I'll go tell the camp right away." Sheng Xuanhuai went down, but he was thinking that he should flee quickly, once the Chinese army participated in the attack, it would definitely not be able to hold it, the image of the Chinese army in everyone's minds was invincible, and the all-rifle army was terrible in Europe.
Three days later, February 22, 1877.
Yixuan's army launched an attack on Li Hongzhang's army in Wuhan.
has been playing for more than ten days in a row, and the two sides are more like acting.
However, public opinion in the whole country does not see it that way, this is a war between the Qing army and the Qing army, and public opinion is in chaos, and there are those who support Hua Guo and Li Hongzhang.
However, the majority of people support Huaguo, and everyone is becoming more and more aware of the situation, it is President Meng who does not want a large-scale bloody war, so he adopts a peaceful way to solve it!
Moreover, Huaguo is very good at building momentum, the more Li Hongzhang does not dare to fight back, the more powerful the newspapers preach, everyone sees that Li Hongzhang's Huai Army, which is known as the first in the world, can't beat these big smoke troops, how do you feel?
Originally, the common people in the Qing court's territories still had a trace of illusions, after all, it was up to the army to protect the common people!
President Meng originally didn't plan to contact Li Hongzhang, but after thinking about it for a long time, he decided to ask the president's secretariat to send a telegram to Xuan Jianzhang, and Prince Yi Xuan sent someone to forward it to Li Hongzhang.
President Meng probably meant this, you are my teacher, why did you go to Hubei first? Because your place is more important than Zuo Zongtang, and your relationship is closer to me, if the teacher doesn't remember the old feelings, the Chinese army will attack soon!
The most lethal last - the Chinese army will not attack in the future, these words, once the Chinese army really attacks, it will not only be the current situation, how strong the Chinese army is, no one knows now, but not long ago, only 20 divisions and more than 400,000 troops were sent to participate in the National Day parade!
Not to mention that they all came with guns, President Meng's army came with bare hands, and the 20,000 or so people of the Huai army couldn't resist it!
"Truce, don't fight, surrender, I surrender Xuan Yuemeng." Li Hongzhang sighed bitterly, but after sighing, the whole person seemed to be relaxed, and let go of the big stone in his heart, after all, the reunification of China is already imperative, and it is also very good that he can be the first local magistrate to take the lead in annexing China!
Moreover, what he Li Hongzhang brought was not only tens of thousands of troops, but also more than half of the Qing court's territory, in terms of controlling territory and officials, Li Hongzhang was far above Zuo Zongtang!
Prince Alcohol came to Hanyang again to meet Li Hongzhang.
This time, Li Hongzhang still greeted him in person, but his face was not as good-looking as last time, and he let go of his worries and let go of his worries, but he surrendered like this, and he was still unwilling!
Prince Alcohol smiled: "Li Zhongtang, meet so soon?" ”
"Don't make fun of Prince Alcohol, please." Li Hongzhang made a gesture of invitation, lowered his head, and welcomed Prince Alcohol into his mansion.
"The president's meaning, surrender without any conditions, the army on the spot to accept the integration of the Chinese army, some people into the Chinese army system, others, etc., discharged, arrange work, the entire southwest, into the country, China will immediately send officials to receive, Li Hongzhang was appointed as the president's adviser, in the Chinese administrative system, ranked in the top 20." Prince Alcohol announced President Moe's order to Li Hongzhang.
Li Hongzhang sighed, there was no room for bargaining, and he was silent.
Prince Alcohol smiled: "Shaoquan, you have already thought about returning to Huaguo, and you are still worried?" You are the president's teacher, what are you afraid of? ”
"I'm not afraid, okay, I agree." Li Hongzhang sighed.
Prince Alcohol laughed, "Okay, happy, signing, taking pictures, this is a historic moment." ”
Syllable!
As soon as the camera took a picture, the photo of Li Hongzhang and Prince Alcohol shaking hands was immediately and forever fixed at this moment.
These two people were originally the princes of the Qing court, and the other was the top minister of the Qing court! Now, they have all become officials of Huaguo.
