"Commander, please give the order!"

A group of Japanese generals were excited to hear this, and they all shouted and asked Yama County Youpeng to issue a battle order.

"This is not the best time, the empire is just a simple hatred for this Qing army, and the mentality of the Qing royal family towards them is probably far more complicated than this;"

Shan County Youpeng's eyes showed a look of cunning and disdain: "The Qing royal family borrowed a knife to kill people, and as a result, Beiyang was easily cut down by the empire, and then the big knife was cut on the heads of their group of wrecks, and they actually beat a group of young soldiers who were even more terrifying than Beiyang. ”

When a friend in Shan County saw the war room, everyone was at a loss, and couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "As an excellent general, if you want to be a general who commands thousands of troops, you must not only understand military affairs, but also understand politics!" Many things can be found in the book "The Scream" written by He Changying when he was just becoming famous last year. ”

Hearing the name "The Scream", almost all the Japanese soldiers showed a look of surprise.

It's not that they haven't heard of this book, but because this book is written by He Changying, who has killed countless Oriental soldiers, because it is Chinese, they are naturally rejected and will not read it at all.

Where did it occur to the Commander that he would mention this book?

Moreover, since the general of Shan County said so, it obviously means that he has read this book.

"Books are books, people are people, don't let stupid prejudice cover your short-sighted eyes!"

Youpeng in Shan County casually took out a Japanese book in his military purse, flipped through it twice, and read: "The old people often think about the past, and the young people often think about the future. Thinking about the past, so I am nostalgic; Thinking about the future, so there is hope. But nostalgia is also, so conservative; But hope also, so enterprising. But it is conservative, so it is eternal; But enterprising, so new. Only think about the past, everything is what it has, so only know as usual; Thinking about the future, everything is unprecedented, so he often dares to break the rules. ”

After reading a few sentences, Youpeng of Shan County glanced up at the generals and staff officers around him and said: "If you think this is vague, then these sentences have already been said clearly: but cowardice, so reluctant; But the heroic also, so adventurous. But only if you can, you can destroy the world; Only adventure can make the world. 'Make the world, make the world'? Hmph, what a breath! ”

Youpeng in Shanxian really wanted to throw the book into the brazier and vent his anger in his heart; But he finally held back and put the book in his purse.

Prince Zairen, the staff officer attached to the 1st Army Headquarters, also has a copy of "The Scream" in his hand, but because he admires Chinese culture, Zairen is also familiar with Chinese, so the book in his hand is the original Chinese of the Shen Family Bookstore.

"Commander, there are a few more sentences in this, which can better reflect He Changying's wolf ambition, and even when this book was written last year, this guy may have been premeditated!"

At this time, after hearing the recitation of Youpeng in Shanxian County, Zairen couldn't help but take out the Chinese version of "The Scream" in his leather bag and said: "Mazzini, the leader of the three masters of Italy." It was founded and called "Young Italy". The people of the whole country, the clouds and fog gathered to respond. It was a restoration of the past, making Italy one of the most powerful countries in Europe. ——In the land of more than 400 states, and the people of more than 400 trillion people, is there not a single Mazzini and his people? ”

In the war room of the 1st Oriental Army, all the Japanese generals listened to it with awe.

This is a good text, if it had been read last summer and autumn, it would only be uplifting, but nothing more.

This good text, if there was a different author, would also be exciting, but that's all.

But reading it at this time, this text of the commander of the new army of the Qing army made everyone in the war room feel a kind of creepy horror.

Half a year ago, in the sweltering summer of Jinmen, He Changying, who was still unknown at the time, wrote these things.

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and the whole of Northeast Asia has been turned upside down.

Compared with his achievements today, he is famous all over the world and has a heavy army.

Is it a prognostic prophecy like a demon monk in advance, or is it an extraordinary calculation?

So, what's next for him?

Is it 'only risk-taking, so it can create the world', to be the 'Mazzini' of China, or what to do?

Seeing the silence in the war room, Shan Shan Youpeng said slowly: "Now, you understand; - It's just that outsiders like you and me are shocked when they look at it, but what about Guangxu and Cixi? I wasn't sure before, but the Qing royal family didn't let this new army freely choose to camp there, nor did they let them retreat to Jinmen, but placed it in Langfang City, which was less than a hundred miles away from Tongzhou; Ladies and gentlemen, don't you understand? ”

"Commander, are you saying that the Qing Imperial Family wants to use the power of the imperial army to eliminate He Changying and his army?"

Major General Inoue, Chief of Staff of the 3rd Division, felt extremely incredible.

"Not all the army, as long as He Changying is dead, there is also his hardcore descendant; Hehe, the Qing royal family is incapable of killing people with a borrowed knife! ”

Youpeng of Shanxian laughed and said: "Fortunately, it is such a court and such a Qing country, otherwise under this East Asian sky, where would there be a chance for the empire to rise?" ”

"Commander, what are we going to do now?"

The commander of the 5th Brigade, Major General Shang Min, asked for instructions with an excited face.

"The Qing royal family wants to 'borrow a sword', and the empire can lend it to them, but this time they can't borrow it for nothing like the last time they fought Beiyang, they always have to pay a little commission;

When he said this, Shan County Youpeng's eyes couldn't help but look in the southeast direction.

More than 70 miles away, is Langfang City.

More than 2,500 miles away is the port of Maguan of the Oriental Empire.

If the imperial army wanted to attack Langfang, the Qing State would have to make more retreats at Maguan.

"Shenwei, you come to copy a copy of "Young China Says" in Chinese, and let Xiaocun enter Beijing to send it to the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty; Let her also know that the generals under the Qing Dynasty can be literate and martial, and they are really a genius once in a hundred years in the world. ”

Shan County Youpeng said with a smile, his eyes were full of triumphant cunning.

Yanjing.

The telegram sent by Li Hongzhang yesterday suddenly swept away the clouds in the capital for many days.

After learning that the Qing and Japanese countries had successfully exchanged edicts and started real peace talks, the people of the entire capital, the rich people, the eunuchs, the princes and ministers, as well as the hundreds of thousands of waste soldiers who fought cocks and walked birds, and the big stones in their hearts were all born in peace.

So they went to the street wine shops one after another, scolding the court for being confused by the traitor Li Hongzhang, I am 400 million in the Qing Dynasty, how can I bow my head to the small country of projectiles?

It's a hell of a person!

It's all Li Hongzhang, a dog, and the family has taken the benefits of the East, so they have to negotiate peace!

There are countless 'righteous people who have the world in their hearts', crying and scolding in the streets and alleys, swearing that they will not finish with Li Hongzhang, and the court should see Li Hongzhang's face clearly and never negotiate peace with the Japanese.

And all morning, the Qingliu people of the Beijing Division, all of them were forced to bear morality with iron shoulders and regard death as home, and gave the emperor an excerpt, saying 'The Qing Dynasty can fight', 'The Qing Dynasty will not surrender', 'Bloody battle to the end!' ’

Everyone was happy to brush up on their reputation, but they turned a blind eye to the Japanese army outside Yanjing City, and none of them dared to go out of the city to 'fight a bloody battle' with the Japanese army.

In the north and south of the Qing Dynasty in China, it was even more uproar.

Telegraphs, excerpts, and snowflakes generally flew to Yanjing City.

However, at this time, on a sunny afternoon in the early spring, the Empress Dowager Cixi was listening to the big drama on the stage of Changyin Pavilion in the Forbidden City.
