Chapter 941: The Imperial Court Goes to War Against Huguang
"Order, the intelligence officers of the Huaihua area, once the imperial court attacks the Huaihua area, immediately assist it and take Huaihua, and in addition, inform all parts of Hunan that the imperial army will assist them when they arrive in various places. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Saying this, Liu Jun thought for a while, and said to Zhong Lin again: "In the order, Wang Shizhen and Li Hongzhang, you can inform the imperial court of the negotiation, for the time being, we will not take any hostility against the imperial court, and tell Wang Shizhen that the armies on the front line will retreat three kilometers." ”
No matter how big the contradiction between himself and the imperial court is, it is all in the absence of splitting the country, and now Huguang wants to make such a thing of sorry for his ancestors, it is necessary for him to join forces with the imperial court, and the imperial court is worried that he will stab himself from behind, so he will completely let him eliminate this vigilance and wholeheartedly treat Huguang mercenaries, of course, in Hubei, there is no need for the imperial court to worry.
"Understood." Zhong Lin recorded his orders, turned around and walked towards the telegraph room.
Chengdu, Yang'en Temple, there was a burst of wooden fish knocking sound in the Buddhist hall, since the Huguang area has rebelled, Cixi has been praying to God in the Buddhist hall, blessing the calamitous empire can successfully survive this difficulty.
"Lafayette, the emperor is here." Li Lianying, who was accompanying Cixi, looked up and saw Guangxu outside, bowed her head and whispered to Cixi.
Boom...... The sound of the wooden fish came quietly, and when she heard that Guangxu was coming, Cixi put down the wooden fish in her hand, stood up, and looked at Guangxu who had arrived in front of the gate.
"My son, please say hello to Abba." Captain Guangxu, who came in, stood in front of Cixi and kowtowed.
Where does Cixi still attach importance to these etiquettes now, and when Guangxu finished speaking, Cixi immediately asked him to get up.
"What do the ministers of the court say?"
After yesterday's order to put the Hunan region on alert, Cixi had already asked Guangxu to convene an emergency military meeting, although Guangxu was a puppet, but in some respects, the superficial article still had to be done.
"Pro-Abba, Li Yuanhong, the commander of the Nine Gates, and others all agree with the use of troops against Huguang." Guangxu lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then told Cixi everything that happened in the court.
It seems that their considerations are the same as their own, after listening to Guangxu's narration, Cixi thought after taking a deep breath.
There is no doubt about the Huguang mercenaries, however, since the vigilant order was issued, Cixi has been thinking about a question, that is, after using troops in the Huguang region, will the Liaodong side give herself a knife at this time.
To deal with Huguang, Cixi has confidence.
In this world, there is only one Liu Jun, there is no second one, Liu Jun was supported by Li Hongzhang's dog back then, so he is today, and Duan Fang does not have anyone's support, just to get benefits in this stormy time. A person who is not a big man is not worthy of being an opponent with himself.
Guangxu said just now that Li Yuanhong and others were just worried about one problem, fighting on two fronts. This is also a problem that Cixi is worried about, it is easy to deal with the Huguang region, but it is difficult to deal with Liaodong.
It's hard. Could it be that God is going to make me disappear from this world from now on, looking at the gray sky outside, Cixi closed her eyes in pain, eventful, eventful, she really didn't know what to do.
Baoji, North Korea Defense Command Headquarters. After drinking the court again for a day to negotiate fruitlessly, Li Hongzhang came to the headquarters early to play chess with Wang Shizhen to relieve his boredom.
Li Hongzhang has now lost all hope for this negotiation, and the reason why he is still able to speak with his opponent here in good words is entirely to buy time for the Liaodong side to mobilize materials.
In the past few years, Li Hongzhang has not been as cowardly as he was back then, when Li Hongzhang, holding heavy troops, was timid and afraid of war, worried about war, but now, the military development of Liaodong has allowed him to reach the point where he can do it without a hole, a Japan is so powerful, it is still divided, not to mention that now a small imperial court, if he is given 100,000 troops, he can hit Chengdu within fifteen days. Then he gave Cixi to Liu Jun and asked her to abdicate.
"Marshal, are you sure you're on the right track?" Wang Shizhen, who picked up the chess, saw that Li Hongzhang had made a mistake and asked.
Yes....... Li Hongzhang, who was obsessed, was awakened by Wang Shizhen, and then looked at it, and sure enough, he had taken a wrong step just now.
"No, I didn't see it just now, the old man regrets it." After Li Hongzhang finished speaking, he picked up the car in the back.
Seeing Li Hongzhang cheating, Wang Shizhen didn't say anything, but asked him to be sure again, and he was ready to put it down.
"Marshal, commander, Lushun urgent telegram." At the same time as the son fell, Zhang Qing, who was the chief of staff, had already picked up a telegram and walked in.
Urgent telegram, the two looked at each other and stood up from the table at the same time.
"The marshal ordered our army to retreat three kilometers, and in addition, let the marshal bring a message to the court negotiators, use troops against Huguang, and the court can attack Hunan with all its might. Our army will definitely not do things that are bitter to those who are close to each other and happy to those who are enemies. ”
It seemed that the imperial court was going to make a move on Huguang, and the two laughed a little, and then came to the map.
"The order is that all armies on the front line should immediately retreat three kilometers, and in addition, notify the Hanzhong Garrison Command that all army divisions and brigades on the front line should retreat four kilometers."
Hanzhong is the place with the most contact with the imperial court, and the mobilization of troops here is to send a signal to the imperial court, you can rest assured that I will not do it.
After Wang Shizhen issued the order, Li Hongzhang also opened his mouth and said to Li Jingfang beside him: "Notify the court negotiators and immediately convene an emergency consultation meeting." ”
Drunken Immortal Building. Zaitao faced the telegram in his hand now, and he didn't know how to deal with it, and in his hand, there was a telegram sent by the imperial court three hours ago, and the content of the telegram was to Zaifeng to figure out the movement of Liaodong.
Liaodong's movements, how can he know, this makes Zaitao very anxious, the imperial court's arrangements for the Huguang region, he already knows, the meaning of the content of this telegram, he also knows, but how to get the meaning of Liaodong, this is a problem.
After thinking about it, Zaitao decided to go to Zhang Zhidong and ask him what he meant. Before he walked out of the door, he saw Zhang Zhidong and Songpan walking in.
"You're here just in time, I have something to look for you."
"Lord Wang, what is there to talk about later, Liaodong has suddenly sent an urgent notice now, and what will be urgently negotiated in half an hour?" Songpan saw that Zaitao was still in the mood to say something at this time, and said.
What to negotiate? Zaitao was blinded. looked at Zhang Zhidong in front of him with a puzzled expression.
This is also a question that Zhang Zhidong can't understand, (to be continued.) )
