Kim Guohuan, a Taoist from the East of Korea, the second apprentice of the mung bean general Jeon Junjun, and Kim Guohuan, the leader of Pyongan Dao, was staying in Park Hee-sung's house at this time, listening to the yelling outside. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Jin Guohuan had traveled to China for several years, and of course he could understand what these Qing soldiers were shouting.

Kim Guohuan wanted to tell Park Hee-sung last night that he must slowly master this elite North Korean army into the hands of Dongxuedao, but before he could get to the point, Park Hee-sung was rushed in by a group of Qing troops and escorted out.

To be honest, at that time, Jin Guohuan thought that the matter was exposed, and he was ready to commit suicide by swallowing medicine, but fortunately it was just a false alarm.

"This team is indeed different from other Qing soldiers, if they are sincere in helping North Korea, in fact, it is not impossible to cooperate."

Jin Guohuan whispered to himself, and unconsciously, his original rock-like firm position of 'those who are not of my race must have different hearts' has begun to slowly change.

The reinforcement troops crossed the Daning River, and before the soldiers of the engineer squadron began to move, the people of Bozhou City had already run to the bridge, holding wooden crowbars, and demolishing the bridge.

He Changying glanced at the lively scene on the bridge, then looked at the rising sun in the east, and ordered loudly: "Go!" ”

In the early morning of September 27, 1894 in the Western calendar, the Korean reinforcements left Bozhou City and continued to evacuate north.

The 10th Brigade of the Japanese Army immediately entered Anzhou City, and the engineering units began to step up the repair of the demolished Daqing River Bridge.

On the Yalu River north of Yiju, more than 13,000 remnants of the six Qing troops stranded in Korea began to cross the river and return to the Qing Dynasty.

In Lushun, 800 miles south of the Yalu River, Song Qing, the newly appointed Sichuan Governor of Beiyang Military Affairs, was looking at the 2,000 military horses of the fourth battalion of the Yi Army, which was led by Song Desheng, the commander-in-chief of the sub-army, and left Port Arthur on Mantou Mountain.

And Song Qing himself will also lead a team of more than 400 people to Jiulian City a few days later.

Because of the defeat in the naval battle, the journey by sea, which was only a little more than a day, has now become particularly long.

The Yi army had to follow the coastal mountain road that had never been walked before, first to Dalian, then through Jinzhou, Piziwo, Dagu Mountain, and rushed to Phoenix.

Finally, we will arrive at Jiulian City on the north bank of the Yalu River.

During this period, it is expected that it will take at least ten days of hard work.

And they are all personally dressed in battle, and they can't carry a large amount of military supplies at all.

On the same day, the 4,000 Jingbian Army led by Heilongjiang General Yi Ketanga rushed all the way to Changchun and had just arrived in Changchun, which was still 1,500 miles away from the Yalu River.

More than 2,000 'Renzi Tiger Yong' newly recruited by the imperial court from Yingkou, and more than 1,500 Qizi training troops in 6 battalions led by Wu Heng, deputy commander of Shanhaiguan, have just left the boundary of Yingkou.

It was only at this time that the war machine of the Qing Dynasty was truly operational.

Before the Battle of Pyongyang, it was completely Li Hongzhang and Dongyang who fought alone, and the rest of the bigwigs were just sipping melon seeds and shouting two lively slogans.

At this time, on the north bank of the Yalu River, in addition to Liu Shengxiu's more than 4,000 troops who arrived on September 17, Nie Shicheng's more than 1,000 recruits.

There is only Zhang Xiluan, the same acquaintance of the Phoenix Hall, and the miscellaneous soldiers of nearly 1,000 urban defense battalions in various cities at the Yalu River port.

In other words, if it weren't for Ye Zhichao's 'smartness', he would have seen through the virtues of the Qing Dynasty and fled back to Yizhou City early.

It is estimated that he will wait until the beginning of spring next year, and wait until he will starve to death and freeze to death when he runs out of ammunition and food, and he will not be able to wait for reinforcements from a few imperial courts.

It was also on this day that the Toyo Hiroshima Base Camp issued an order to form the 'Second Army for the Expedition to the Qing Dynasty'.

The Minister of War, Admiral Iwawa Oyama, was appointed commander of the Second Army.

The 'Second Army of the Qing Dynasty' is temporarily composed of the 1st Division of the Japanese Army and the 12th Brigade of the mixed army, and the whole army has a total strength of more than 15,000 troops, and plans to increase the second division to enter the combat sequence at an appropriate time in the future.

Between the Qing and Japan, a full-scale war on the Qing Dynasty was immediately on the verge of breaking out.

On September 28th, the Korean reinforcements arrived in Dingju, and on the 29th, they arrived in Guicheng, and then after two days of arduous trekking, they finally arrived in Yiju City at 10 p.m. on September 31.

He Changying and Nie Shicheng and Jiang Zikang, who stayed behind and waited, met in a hurry, and the three of them were relatively embarrassed.

On the bank of the Daqing River outside Anju City and at the Daqing Consulate General in Pyongyang City that day, apart from He Changying, who could have expected that in this short period of 20 days or so, earth-shaking changes would come out of such an unbearable situation today?

"The imperial court has come to the will, Ye Zhichao, Wei Rugui unloaded everything and returned to Jinmen; I was dismissed from my post and retained to see what would happen. ”

Jiang Zikang, He Changying, and Nie Shicheng, the three of them stood on the east bank of the Yalu River, which was rolling south, watching the various units of the Korean army cross the river.

Jiang Zikang smiled bitterly: "After my Renzi army was promoted, there were not many troops, and more than 300 people were intercepted by your kid, and now there are less than 600 people left." ”

"Then my lord, you might as well give me these 600 people, otherwise if you point to the 2,000 recruits who have not even let go of their guns at the Yingkou, these 600 elite soldiers will also be dragged into dead dogs."

He Changying held a Western cigarette presented by Nie Shicheng in his mouth, and said with a grin.

It's completely a skin with a dead face, swallowed something, and the flesh of the skin hob that doesn't spit out when you die.

"You kid—;' That's it, the court, and the middle hall all nodded and agreed, I'm a dismissed general, what else can I say? ”

Jiang Zikang glared at He Changying with an unhappy face and said, "You call me an adult? You're having itchy skin, aren't you? ”

What does this mean?

He Changying was a little confused and couldn't understand, so she simply pretended to be deaf and dumb.

"Alas! It used to be ——, but now it's not a thing. ”

Jiang Zikang was suffering from Nie Shicheng's big light bulb beside him, and he couldn't say these private words.

"The camp of the reinforcement army has been arranged, in order to prevent long nights and dreams, tonight Admiral Ye and the guards will take a boat back to Jinmen; This time, in order to ensure your absolute safety, Zhongtang specially invited an American steamer with a lot of money; ”

Nie Shicheng next to him said: "American Captain Smith said that as long as the three of you wear civilian clothes, even if there are really Japanese warships, they will never dare to be embarrassed." ”

He Changying nodded when she heard this, and said with a sigh: "This is our territory, our sea area, but for safety, we have to use Westerners' merchant ships to sail on it; Shame on you!.

Nie Shicheng and Jiang Zikang were silent, looking at the banks of the Yalu River in the sunset, feeling depressed and almost out of breath.

"The remnant sun is like blood!"

He Changying looked at the glow of the falling western mountains and muttered to herself.

"Whew-"

With the sound of the whistle, the medium-sized merchant ship flying the American flag began to slowly leave the dock, and then accelerated towards the mouth of the Yalu River.

He Changying, Ye Zhichao, Wei Rugui, and Ye Zhichao's former orderly, and now Wang Shizhen, the artillery battalion officer of the Luyu Defense Army, stood on the deck, looking at the night scene of the sea and sky.

When he returned to China this time, Ye Zhichao and Wei Rugui were reluctant to take them away, because they were afraid that they would burden them, but only Wang Shizhen remembered Ye Zhichao's kindness back then, and he wanted to come over to serve with him.

"General He, it seems that if we don't do it this time, Lao Wei and I will be in trouble, and maybe in the future, I will have to rent your land to plant like my father."

Now that he got out, Ye Zhichao's mentality was completely calm, and he was bent on going back to Feixi to retire.

"You are all from Feixi, my family is far away from Feidong, and it is not cost-effective to rent land in Feixi; Otherwise, Brother He will soar in the future and go to buy land in Feidong. ”

Wei Rugui is still angry, he and his Sheng army have been dead to defend Pyongyang, but now it's good, just when the big war is about to start, he will be inexplicably recalled to the country.
