Chapter 715: Preparation with both hands

Seeing that the telegram in Zhang Zhidong's hand had burned to ashes, Songpan on the side already knew in his heart that Zhang Zhidong had decided to hide such a thing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

It seems that Zhongtang's heart has come to Liaodong. Taking a deep breath, Songpan thought in his heart.

Zhang Zhidong's action has to make Songpan Hui think so, after all, this kind of use of the army is not reported, I am afraid that if it was ten years ago, it would have been cut off a long time ago, but now, the power of the imperial court, whether or not there will be anyone listening to Sichuan is the same thing, anyway, among the governors of Huguang, Hunan will not listen. Yunnan in Yunnan and Guizhou will not listen. It's a sure thing.

In fact, this time I thought about sending fat wrong, Zhang Zhidong did not have a bias towards Liaodong in his heart, but as a Chinese person, he has seen the suffering of Huaxia for many years, and he also knows that Huaxia has been bullied by foreigners again and again.

"I'll send a telegram to Li Yuanhong right away." Throwing down these words, Songpan turned around and walked out.

After the end of the war against Japan, Liu Jun formed a joint defense headquarters with Wang Shizhen, Li Rong, Zhang Qing, etc., responsible for all blockades and operations against the imperial court, and the troops under the command of this joint defense department have six corps, five cavalry divisions, three independent brigades and an artillery regiment totaling 280,000 people.

In the office of the General Headquarters, Commander Wang Shizhen was boredly playing with the pencil in his hand, and in front of him, a map of Hanzhong appeared under his sketch, dotted lines and offensive routes appeared.

The dotted line represents the retreat route, while the solid line represents the counterattack route at that time.

"Why, the imperial court hasn't responded yet, and you've already started to make a plan for the offensive and defensive battles in Hanzhong. Isn't the speed a little fast, Li Rong and Zhang Qing, who walked in from outside, looked at the map in front of Wang Shizhen, and Li Rong smiled slightly.

Both Li Rong and Zhang Qing were urgently transferred from Fujian and Guangxi when the headquarters were established.

Hey, after looking at the two people who basically had nothing to do, Wang Shizhen sighed helplessly and said: "Can I work it out first, although the telegram of the marshal did not indicate when to attack, but, judging from the fact that he asked Li Hongzhang and Master Li to send information to Zhang Zhidong, I know that he especially hopes that this exercise can start as soon as possible." ”

Speaking of this, Wang Shizhen pushed away everything around him, and said after signaling the two people who were standing aside to drink tea to gather: "You see, I have prepared two sets of plans, the first plan is the exercise plan, and the Qing army and our advance and retreat plan will be on it, and the second plan is the preparatory plan. “

Preparatory program. Zhang Qing and Li Rong glanced at each other, obviously they didn't understand what this meant.

"In case of retreat, if we say that on the map of the exercise, the Qing army can occupy some irrelevant areas according to the opinions above. We won't say anything, but if Li Yuanhong dares to go to the sky and stretch out his hand, then don't blame me for unceremoniously launching a counterattack and eating one or two of his brigades. ”

I understand that you can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't do without the heart to prevent people. Generally speaking, the Qing army is going to occupy a certain area, although these areas have no impact on Hanzhong City at all, but on the whole, this is the territory of Hanzhong. Since they were given sweet dates, then I hope that the Qing army will follow the rules and take what should be taken.

"I don't have an opinion." After understanding the map, the two nodded in agreement, and there was no reason for the two to refuse such a thing.

Seeing that the two agreed, Wang Shizhen will prepare a plan. It was still to put the plan of the Qing army's lion opening in the drawer that the exercise plan was put on the desk aside. Then he began to sit and wait.

"Do you think the court will disagree with our plan?" Zhang Qing, who couldn't stand still, opened his mouth to break the silence in the headquarters for nearly ten minutes.

There is really no one who can answer this matter, but although the three of them did not express their position, they can all see from their expressions that these guys all know that the Qing army will definitely agree.

Report. A telegram was sent from Hanzhong. Several representatives of the Qing army have already come to Baoji. A guard walked in and handed a telegram in his hand to Wang Shizhen.

It seemed that they agreed, and the few people who heard this smiled knowingly.

The railway from Hanzhong to Baoji is still in the planning stage, so it has not been built, but the official road here has indeed been reinforced and renovated by the Ministry of Railways, and it is the same size as Liaodong at that time.

Liaodong official road was established by Liu Jun according to the highway of later generations, and it was designed with three lanes. Shooting like this, but also to leave some trouble in the future, Liu Jun proposed this design plan, is to lay the foundation for the highway, and in the future to pave cement that is high-speed, of course, such a requirement, it is inevitable that some people will be scolded, the reason is very simple, too expensive, but Liu Jun doesn't care, this is the lowest standard, any official road leading to the main city, must be set with such a wide route, otherwise the above will definitely not allocate money, of course, more, then don't want to get money.

The refurbished road, coupled with the continuous running of horse-drawn carriages, from Hanzhong to Baoji, the distance was not very far, therefore, in the afternoon of the next day, a dozen people dressed in the clothes of wealthy merchants entered Baoji City, and then after a few circles in the nearby streets, they entered the joint defense headquarters.

Although the imperial court and Liaodong are in a state of hostility, this does not affect the people's exchanges, so it is not uncommon to see businessmen with big braids in Baoji, so these dozen or so people entering Baoji can not cause any turbulent waves.

It seems that this time the Qing army received an order, and less than five hours after entering the joint defense command, these people left Baoji again with a copy.

"How did they answer so happily this time?" After the Qing army representatives left, Li Rong was still thinking about a question, after all, this is really too strange, you know, if this was before, it would never have appeared.

"It should be that they received strict orders. Cooperate with us to do everything. After looking down and thinking twice, Wang Shizhen lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said with some certainty. (To be continued.) )
