Li Hongzhang didn't know how to answer, did he ask that? Such a big deal, dare I say it? Silent and silent. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Empress Dowager Cixi sighed and cried: "Pack up your things and prepare to take shelter for a while, where should you avoid now?" Where to avoid? This is to drive people to death. ”

The Empress Dowager Ci'an looked at the empty throne, and also accompanied the Empress Dowager Cixi to tears behind the curtain.

And all the ministers wept together.

Prince Gong Yixun frowned, and said stubbornly: "Queen Mother, don't take your life for a while, the holy drive away from Beijing will cause morale to be frustrated, and the people in the Zhili area will also be unstable, I think Xuan Yuemeng is just a reckless bandit, no better than the original bandit, a four-year-old child!" When Zuo Zongtang joins the army, we can get together an army of about 150,000, I heard that Xuan Yuemeng only brought more than 10,000 people over, we are fifteen times his fifteen times, besides, the capital of Gyeonggi, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the naturalization of the people, it is not impossible to fight. ”

When the ministers heard Yixun say this, no one agreed, at most they nodded silently.

Only Lord Li Hongzao was filled with righteous indignation: "The old minister agrees with King Gong's opinion, that is, Xuanyue Meng fights hard, my Qing Dynasty people are stable, Gyeonggi is important, and it is where the Son of Heaven is located, with the support of hundreds of millions of people, why worry about thieves not breaking?" ”

Everyone nodded again, but still no one came out to speak, and everyone said in their hearts, you are like singing, can these words be turned into silver? Fight with silver!

Li Hongzhang said loudly: "What the prince and Lord Li said is reasonable, the queen mother, it is easy not to avoid it for a while." According to the minister's opinion, Xuan Yuemeng is not going to kill my Qing Dynasty, otherwise, he will not pick the army at this time, it is clear now, Xuan Yuemeng's strength is superior, he won Liaoning, and he should attack the entire Northeast, and wait until he is ready to stop and then go out of the customs, he is in such a hurry, mainly because the Qing Dynasty and Huaguo are in a state of hostility, which affects the economy of Huaguo. Moreover, the northeast is not so easy to hold, and there are horse thieves everywhere. He just wants to ask the court for peace. ”

Prince Gong Yixun looked at Li Hongzhang, the two of them already have a disagreement, and it is rare to have the same opinion recently, in fact, the people present are all die-hard loyalists of the Qing court, and no one wants the Qing court to fall, they are all vested interests.

Empress Dowager Cixi sighed and wiped her tears, "Although there have always been horse thieves rebellions outside the Guan, Xuan Yuemeng is indeed not an ordinary man, and none of you can compare to the ability he has shown in governing Liaoning!" Including you Li Hongzhang, he knows those ordinary people better than anyone else, those grass people, know the Northeast people better than anyone else, touch when you should touch, kill when you should kill, Huayuan's comprehensive use has already shown that Liaoning is pinched by him, otherwise he would not dare to invade the Guannei. ”

The Qing court is so inefficient, it has been all this nonsense for days, and it is still Li Hongzhang and others who do things.

The pressure of President Meng's Huajun made Li Hongzhang seem to be several years older all of a sudden, and his chubby face, which was originally full of red light, is now a lot paler.

President Meng began to step up the deployment to attack the periphery of Chengde.

The periphery of Chengde includes: equivalent to the whole territory of Chifeng City in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, most of Tongliao City (west of Horqin District), north of Yixian County and Jinzhou City in Liaoning Province, west of Zhangwu County, and most of Chengde City in Hebei Province. It covers an area of about 147,500 square kilometers. It is bordered by Liaoning Province and Liaobei Province to the east, Chahar Province to the west, and Hebei Province to the south.

"Don't rush into the customs first, lay down Chengde first! The 112th Regiment of the First Brigade of the First Field Division of the Chinese Army is the main attack, and the 113th Regiment of the First Brigade of the First Field Division of the Chinese Army continues to move northward. Don't let them leave a fortress behind us, to cut off their thoughts, and in this way, the princes and nobles of Mongolia will also know which side they should be on. President Meng said to Lu Kangtian, Xuan Jianzhang, instructor Albert Kirchbach, and a group of operational staff officers of the General Staff.

There were people who nodded and those who didn't.

Lu Kangtian stood up and said, "President." ”

President Meng smiled and pressed his hand: "You don't have to get up one by one, if you have anything to say, just sit and say." ”

"Yes, President." Lu Kangtian sat down as he spoke, "President, we have few soldiers, why do we have to divide our troops?" Moreover, in a frontal battle, with the strength of the First Brigade, no matter how many Qing troops they come, we will be able to deal with it. ”

President Meng smiled: "That's a good word, but, that will kill more people, these are Han people, this is one of them, didn't I say it just now?" Don't leave a stronghold behind us, and don't let the Qing court have another chance to contact the Mongol clansmen and cut off their foreign aid, this is the second, third, the bigger the battlefield, the more panicked the Qing court becomes, and does not know where to put the main defense, for our mobility, for our individual combat ability, it is also more powerful, don't forget that one of our battalions has enough ability to capture the city of Beijing, in the eyes of the Qing court, as long as the city of Beijing is broken, they will be defeated, in this case, What are we going to do with killing so many people one by one? ”

After listening to President Meng's explanation, everyone suddenly realized that Princess Katrina Kafu and Liu Yuqing's eyes were all little stars, and President Meng was with them all day long, and they didn't see President Meng work the study of war, nor did they have too much contact with anyone, and they didn't know when President Meng came up with it.

President Meng said with a smile: "Also, and the most critical point, even if the Qing court wants to find foreigners to help secretly, it is not easy for foreigners to interfere in such a big battlefield, as long as foreigners do not interfere, this problem is much simpler." Therefore, this Spring Festival offensive can also be called a hide-and-seek offensive! ”

Hide and seek, everyone couldn't help laughing.

The 112th Regiment of the 1st Brigade of the 1st Field Division of the Chinese Army attacked Kailu in Tongliao in the north, and attacked Chaoyang in Yixian in the middle; The 113th Regiment of the 1st Brigade of the 1st Field Division of the Chinese Army marched south to attack Lingyuan in Suizhong.

After the Qing army Wei Rugui resisted for a time, they retreated to the Xifengkou, a military fortress on the Great Wall.

The Chinese cavalry took advantage of the situation to occupy Chengde.

President Moe slept on the bed, his head rested on Princess Katrina Kaf's snow-white thighs, and Princess Katrina Kafu waited for him - kneading President Moe's delicate little body.

A beautiful secretary whispered outside the door: "President, princess, there is an urgent matter." ”

Princess Katrina Kafu sighed, "President, there is an urgent matter, I'll go see what's going on, I don't know if it's Chengde's side." ”

President Meng snorted, and the two little chubby paws propped up his body, turned over, and came down to Princess Katrina Kaf's thighs, "Go ahead." (To be continued.) )
