Liu Jun looked at Li Hongzhang who was sitting on it, lowered his head and thought for a while, he was still ready to say his thoughts, after all, Li Hongzhang's majesty can still be suppressed in North Korea.

"Old man, I want you to go out of the mountains and go to Pyongyang." Again, Liu Jun repeated his words!

went to Pyongyang, Liu Jun said this, Li Hongzhang and the people around him looked at Liu Jun in shock. None of them knew why Liu Jun wanted Li Hongzhang to go to Pyongyang.

Li Hongzhang also obviously didn't know why Liu Jun wanted to go out of the mountain by himself.

Seeing that Li Hongzhang didn't understand, Liu Jun could only talk about the matter, and among them, about washing up the infamy that Li Hongzhang had borne over the years, he also mentioned it.

It turned out that this was the case, Zhong Lin and the others finally understood what Liu Jun meant.

Now, several people shifted their eyes to Li Hongzhang, and they saw that although Li Hongzhang did not speak, looking at the trembling lips, they knew that Li Hongzhang was uncomfortable now.

Indeed, Li Hongzhang has not mentioned his grievances to anyone for so many years, and he is also distressed when he repeatedly signs unequal treaties with foreign powers, but where is the national strength of his own country, he can only suffer greater harm if he continues to fight. And when the court was like that, he didn't sign it, so what could he do.

"I'll go." In the quiet study, Li Hongzhang did not have any objection, and said sonorously.

Well, with Li Hongzhang out of the horse, Liu Jun will not have any problem with North Korea being included in his command. However, he also knew that Li Hongzhang alone would not be able to complete this task, so Liu Jun thought for a while and asked again: "What does the old man need, just ask." ”

"Transfer Yang Shixiang to me."

Yang Shixiang, since the Zhili returned to Liu Jun, Yang Shixiang has been in Tianjin, in charge of the government affairs of the original Zhili region, Liu Jun Yang Shixiang is Li Hongzhang's right-hand man, this is understandable, nodded slightly, Liu Jun said: "Okay, then I will immediately order, let Yang Shixiang step down immediately, let Governor Yuan Shikai directly subordinate and concurrently serve as the second-in-command of government affairs." After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Liu Jun added again: "Ding Ruchang is your old subordinate, and this time I will also make him your subordinate again, and the entire army in North Korea, as well as the Nie Shicheng Corps in Dandong, will be at your disposal at any time." ”

Liu Jun was ruthless this time, since the Japanese wanted to run, then he would take advantage of the opportunity, enter Seoul, occupy the Han Palace, and then what should he do, even if the Goryeo stick wants to rise up and rebel, then the only way is to open the killing ring. Anyway, North Korea is going to make a decision.

The train whistle whistled and the train slowly entered the Pyongyang railway station.

Inside the first-class luxury train box. Li Hongzhang lifted the curtain of the train and looked at Pyongyang City in a daze.

With a creak, the train stopped, and Yang Shixiang, who was outside, walked in and whispered, "My lord, it's here." ”

Yang Shixiang still couldn't change his name for Li Hongzhang, as soon as he heard that it was here, Li Hongzhang slowly stood up, and slowly left his position and got off the train under the support of Yang Shixiang and Li Maolian, who came with him.

"Stand upright."

There was a commotion, and Ding Ruchang, who was waiting on the platform, saw Li Hongzhang get off the train and gave the order in person.

Elite is elite. Li Hongzhang looked at both sides of the platform and was full of energy, holding steel guns in his hands. The soldiers of the Liaodong Army, who were wearing steel helmets on their heads, nodded with satisfaction, and after greeting Ding Ruchang, this time they entered the headquarters of the First Corps under the opening of the guard regiment.

Seoul. The scorching heat will roast people lazily. On the street, from time to time, there were groups of Japanese patrols, probably because the weather was too hot, and the Koreans, who had been hiding far away when they saw the Japanese army, did not bother to dodge, but watched these Japanese soldiers in black uniforms walk in front of them.

"Have you heard, the Japanese military camps in the eastern suburbs are now empty." When an old North Korean man who was shopping for vegetables saw the group of Japanese soldiers passing, he whispered to a fruit seller next to him.

"I heard that, there was one a few days ago, why is it empty now."

"You don't know, Liaodong Liu Dashuai's grandfather Li Zhongtang personally arrived in Pyongyang, and it is estimated that the Japanese will not be able to jump for a few days, so they will withdraw."

"Great, we have suffered all these years, you look at Pyongyang, every house has electric lights, I still don't know what electric lights look like, in the future, when Liu Dashuai drives away little Japan, we estimate that we will be able to have electric lights." The man laughed a few times, and then began to shout and sell his fruit again.

Seoul, the headquarters of the Second Army, although the order to retreat has been issued for three days, there is still no sign of retreat in the headquarters.

In the study, Nogi Nishinori quietly looked at the map in front of him in a daze, he really couldn't figure out why he had to give up North Korea, which had been occupied for ten years.

Five days ago, he had just sent the fifth telegram at noon requesting the base camp to mobilize reinforcements to Korea, however, less than three hours after the telegram was sent, he replied from the base camp, but that telegram did not promise to mobilize troops from the Japanese mainland, but asked Nogi Nishinori to evacuate all of them to the port before the expiration of the armistice agreement between Liaodong and Japan, and then return to Japan under the transportation of the combined fleet to participate in the defense of the Japanese mainland that would break out soon after.

Withdraw, to put it lightly, how much effort Japan has spent in Korea in the past ten years. Now that he is saying that he will withdraw, how can this not make Nogi Nishinori feel aggrieved.

Ten years, he spent ten years here, the troops were changed five batches, and he was evacuated at this time, which made him hold his head up after returning to Japan.

Moreover, in the past ten years, the investment of the Japanese business community here, as well as the construction here, have been accumulated by a penny, but now once they retreat, these will come to naught, and even let Liaodong occupy it.

After receiving the order, he has not returned to the base camp for any telegram, and now, the base camp began to urge him to evacuate three times and two days, originally he did not want to withdraw, but after Ito Hirobumi arrived with a long telegram, he suddenly understood that the base camp had no troops to send, but he could not watch the 50,000 troops annihilated by the Liaodong Army like this, so he could only give an order to withdraw to the country.

There is unwillingness. However, this was a real problem, and in the absence of any resistance to the 1st Corps of Liaodong, Nogi Nishinori had to obey the orders of the base camp and began to give orders for the armies to prepare and leave Korea.

It can't be so cheap North Korea. Thinking of something, Nogi Nishinori clenched his fist.
