Chapter 349: Tie Liang's Curse

The Lushun Military Telegraph Bureau was a telegraph bureau specially set up by Liu Jun to supply troops, which was under the jurisdiction of the Intelligence Bureau, while the Lushun Telegraph Bureau was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Commerce under Wu Datong.

Liu Jun and Zheng Yiqian saw that the time was almost up, and the two of them sorted out their clothes and came to the telegraph office next to the headquarters.

As soon as he stepped into the telegraph office, Liu Jun saw that the staff of the telegraph office were staying quietly, waiting for Liu Jun's arrival, while Zhong Lin on the side looked up at the time from time to time.

"Head, you're here." Zhong Lin, who also hadn't slept all night, saw Liu Jun on it, and immediately walked over and picked up a cup of tea that had already been brewed.

Liu Jun took it, looked at everything he was busy with, and then looked at Zhong Lin on the side and the main personnel of the intelligence department who had already returned from various places: "It's all ready." ”

"Head, everything is ready." Zhong Lin nodded fiercely, he assured that even if Liu Jun issued an order now, within a few minutes, the troops on the northern front would receive the information and then launch an attack.

Liu Jun's battle against the imperial court this time was divided into three directions, namely the northern line, the southern line and the middle line.

The northern front consisted of the Fourth Corps, the Sixth Corps, two independent divisions, one cavalry corps and two brigades, and was under the unified command of Wang Shizhen. The southern front, composed of the Eighth Corps, the Ninth Corps and the Fifth Corps, commanded by Li Rong, and the middle line was composed of the Tenth Corps, the Eleventh Corps and the troops already in Weihai, commanding Li Hongzhang, but because Li Hongzhang was in Lushun, the actual commander was Feng Guozhang. Of the three directions, the largest combat mission was on the Northern Front. The northern front is close to Beijing, any regime, as long as the capital is occupied, it means that the regime is not there, therefore, the task of the northern line, Liu Jun is very simple, that is, after defeating the first town of the Qing army, quickly interspersed, and then through Changping and the Sixth Corps, which has never been in the Mongolian Zhangjia, where to quickly encircle the city of Beijing.

Tata. The time has pointed to 7:55, Liu Jun took a deep breath, looked at the telegraph office where there is only a telegraph beep now, took a deep breath, Liu Jun lightly walked to the seat arranged for him by Zhong Lin, and took a sip of tea.

"Command."

At the commanding heights of Shanhaiguan, Luo Dacheng and Wang Shizhen, who had already arrived at Shanhaiguan, stood quietly at the mountain pass, looking at the Qing army's position in the mist in the distance, and not far from them, the eighty field guns and mortars mobilized from the Eighth Army and the Seventh Army had been divided into five rows and laid out, and the muzzles of the guns were quietly aimed at the Qing army's position.

"Lao Luo, take a good look, just wait for a few minutes, there won't be such a peaceful beauty here." Wang Shizhen looked at the artillery quietly placed in front of him, and then looked at the army behind him who was preparing to attack.

It was the first time he commanded more than 100,000 people to fight, and he was inevitably a little nervous, so he wanted to relieve it in this way.

When is it, he still wants to see the scenery, for Luo Dacheng, he has seen enough, or rather, he has been waiting for the order to attack for a long time. Now, he wanted to know when he would get the telegram, not to enjoy the beauty of the flowers.

"I know that you have the title of Confucian general in Dashuai, unlike me, a rough man." Luo Dacheng glanced at Wang Shizhen, he didn't know that at this time, this guy could still calm down. It's only a few minutes away from eight o'clock, and I'm still in the mood to let myself see the beautiful scenery, not to mention the beautiful scenery now, even if I give him a big beauty, I'm not in the mood.

"I am." Seeing that Luo Dacheng was so serious, Wang Shizhen wanted to explain and express the excitement in his heart, but he didn't finish his words. The two of them saw a staff officer trotting over with a telegram in his hand, and they closed their mouths at the same time, looked at each other, and then moved their eyes to the staff officer's telegram, and the two of them knew that the combat telegram was coming.

"Report, Lushun War Department telegraphed, let us attack on time at eight o'clock." Sure enough, the staff officer quickly finished the contents of the telegram and handed it to Wang Shizhen.

At eight o'clock, Wang Shizhen opened the cannon not far away, looked at Luo Dacheng again, and saw Luo Dacheng's expectant eyes, Wang Shizhen took a deep breath and nodded: "Let's start." ”

Rumble. A dazzling signal flare roared into the sky, waking up the surroundings of Lu Long, who was still in peace.

The signal flare is the signal for the attack, and the plan has already been arranged, and the first to launch the attack is to concentrate artillery fire, first bombard the opposite position, and blow up Tieliang's first cooperative position.

"Ready. The artillery commander raised the red flag in his hand, and the red flag fluttered in the wind and made a loud noise.

With a bang, the cannonball was stuffed into the chamber.

"Put." A loud sound like a bell suddenly sounded, and at the same time, the red flag in his hand waved down fiercely.

Boom Boom Boom ...... Boom, boom, boom. Boom, boom, boom. More than 80 artillery pieces suddenly made the sound of mountains and seas, and the thick smoke after the shells were fired immediately buried the artillery positions in a cloud of smoke. The smoke reappeared, and after a while, it blurred the area around Lulong, which was not very clear in the first place.

The pungent smell of gunsmoke, spreading with the wind, quickly spreading into the distance, several years of preparation and patience, Liu Jun and the court's roundabouts, from today on, will announce the end, from today onwards, either you die, or I live.

In the words of Liu Jun, there are no two suns in the sky.

Lulong County. Tie Liang had just taken the towel, and before he could rub it on his face, the huge sound of the cannon suddenly stunned him to the ground, and he listened carefully to the shelling and put it down.

North, north, then they are their own positions.

With a snap, Tie Liang threw down the towel in his hand at once, and immediately ran out of the door, he knew that Liaodong had attacked.

Zhang Nanpi, **** your ancestor, my Qing Dynasty will be destroyed in your hands, Tie Liang, who climbed the city tower, watched the position of his First Association in the distance replaced by thick smoke and sky-high firelight, and suddenly greeted the ancestor of Zhang Zhidong who was far away in Beijing.

I have long reported to the imperial court that Liu Jun has been frequently mobilized recently, but under Zhang Nanpi's nonsense, the imperial court said that Liu Jun would not attack, so that the troops could not be moved, and Liu Jun could not be stimulated.

"Quick, send electricity to Beijing, and Liaodong will attack our department." Tie Liang gave the order with a pale face, and then went down the city wall, and he personally went to command the troops to block the Liaodong Army, otherwise, it would be too late.

In Beijing City, Zhang Zhidong had just finished processing a batch of documents and was about to take a break, when he saw a Kang Youwei who had already walked to the military plane stumbling in, and before he could react, Kang Youwei knelt on Di Sang, with tears on his face, and held up a telegram in his hand: "Lord Zhongtang, the Qing Dynasty is over." ”

It's over. Zhang Zhidong looked down on Kang Youwei, who relied on his connections to enter the military aircraft department, and saw him so flustered, he really lost his manners.

"Bastard, as a court official, what kind of system is it to be so flustered, it's simple." No, the Great Qing Kingdom is over, what does this mean, Zhang Zhidong suddenly changed his breath, and his lips began to tremble: "You." What did you say? ”

"My lord, Lord Tieliang of Shanhaiguan has sent an urgent telegram that Liu Jun's Liaodong Army launched an attack on our army's position at eight o'clock today." Kang Youwei was crying, and immediately said the content of the telegram.

What the? At this time, Zhang Nanpi couldn't control any official authority, so he suddenly stood up and took the telegram from Kang Youwei's hand. He still didn't believe that Liu Jun would attack.

"O heaven," a lament. Breaking through the military aircraft, breaking through the clouds. This wailing voice suddenly could not be eliminated in the Forbidden City for a long time.

Summer Palace, Cixi was in a mood since she heard Zhang Zhidong's analysis a few days ago that Liu Jun would not attack her, and she has lived a comfortable retirement life since then.

Early this morning, after eating breakfast, I felt that the sun was shining outside, and I suddenly remembered to go to Kunming to play.

I don't know, Cixi, who is in a very good mood today, actually wants to row, which suddenly makes the surrounding palace maids tremble, if something happens to Cixi somewhere, her life will not be saved, so everyone knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise their heads.

"Lafayette, Zhang Zhongtang urgently asks to see you." Li Lianying hurriedly ran over. It can be regarded as lifting everyone to break the siege.

Zhang Zhidong? When Cixi heard that it was Zhang Zhidong, she immediately abandoned the boating thing and began to spread the word about Zhang Zhidong. He knew that Zhang Zhidong would tell him another good news.
