Chapter 959: Founding Fathers?

I can't help it, what's going on? Seeing where Nathan shook his head, the military attache looked at Nathan in front of him with a puzzled expression. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing that his military attache didn't understand, Nathan walked to the wine shelf on the side, poured a glass of red wine, and handed it to the military attachΓ©, then thought for a while and said, "Whether this time is Liaodong or not." None of us can protest. After all, at the moment, they have a huge advantage, that is, they have rescued our personnel, and at this time we protested, that is, we dug a pit and jumped down. ”

The military attache still understands very well what this sentence means.

"Then let's settle it like this, more than a hundred lives." The military attache took a deep breath and asked with some dissatisfaction.

If you don't count it, what can you do, you can only deal with this matter in the future. Bury all failures in your heart.

"So how are we going to respond to this in London?" The military attache asked, holding a wine glass, along the Yangtze River. Everything is managed by the Governor of Hong Kong.

"Report it truthfully, just say that the ship hit the rocks, the Liaodong Navy rescued, don't talk about other things, shame, you can know it yourself, you can't let London know, otherwise, we estimate that the governor's position will not be retained by then."

"Understood." The military attache nodded, and then closed his eyes, he has been here for so many years, and he has always walked sideways like a crab, but this time, he can only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

Lushun, inside the headquarters, Liu Jun, who had been busy all day, just put down the pen, and before he could stand up, he saw Zhong Lin walk in from outside: "Head, Hong Kong Telegraph." Nathan had sent a telegram to London, England. ”

"What did you say?" Liu Jun, who glanced at Zhong Lin, asked.

"Head, as you might guess, Nathan just reported to London that the ship ran aground, and nothing else was said."

Hmph, Liu Jun, who heard this, snorted coldly, and then smiled: "Nathan really wanted to say it, but he didn't dare." After speaking, Liu Jun looked at Zhong Lin: "How is Xiangyang over there, when will the attack start?" ”

"Head, Xiangyang Duan Qirui has arrived on the outskirts of Yicheng yesterday afternoon and is deploying, and it should launch an attack on Yicheng tomorrow." Zhong Lin walked to the map and said.

Yicheng Front. In the artillery position of the Liaodong Army, Duan Qirui stood quietly in front of an artillery piece, looking at the Qing army in the Huguang area in the distance and observing.

Looking at it from here, the Huguang army deployed a defensive line around it, and this defensive line deployed the entire Yicheng in a circle.

"Commander, it's already nine o'clock, you see if you want to attack immediately." The chief of staff on the side walked up to Duan Qirui and said.

At nine o'clock, Duan Qirui, who heard this, looked at the artillery position in front of him, and then said quietly: "The artillery shelled for half an hour, and then attacked." ”

Boom...... Boom...... Nine five. The twelve artillery pieces concentrated on the positions began to fire intensively, shelling the positions outside the city.

May 29th. The Liaodong Army launched an attack on Yicheng. The battle for the Huguang area began in earnest.

Yicheng County, in the headquarters of the first town of the Huguang Army, Zhao Lin, who was eating, heard an explosion outside, and then put down the rice bowl in his hand, he estimated that the Liaodong Army had begun to attack.

"Report, the Liaodong Army launched an attack on the outer positions of our army." A soldier said as he ran in.

Clang, Zhao Lin, who heard this, stood up and put down the rice bowl in his hand, and then ran out like crazy.

As soon as he came to the city wall, Zhao Lin saw that his outer positions were now covered by artillery fire.

"Artillery, why didn't our artillery fight back." Zhao Lin, who put down his glasses, took a deep breath and said to the deputy general beside him.

"Commander, our artillery, all at the east gate."

Yes...... Zhao Lin, who heard this, was stunned for a moment, and then understood. Indeed, the artillery at the east gate was indeed transferred by himself, after all, he never thought of it. They will attack from the north gate.

"Quick, send electricity to Wuchang, and the Liaodong Army will launch an attack on Yicheng."

Wuchang. The Governor's Palace, Duan Fang has not eaten for almost two days. Sick, from the time the British began to leave, Duanfang was sick.

It was the British who were angry.

He didn't expect that the British would actually stab themselves in the back at this time. At the critical moment, all the personnel were withdrawn, which made him how to face Liaodong and the imperial court.

"Your Excellency the Governor, Your Excellency the Governor, something has happened." Zhang Biao's voice sounded from outside, hearing this voice, Duan Fang, who was lying on the bed, forcibly sat down from his bed, and as soon as he got up, he saw Zhang Biao walking in.

"What's wrong?" I haven't eaten for a few days, and now Duanfang's eyes have begun to sink deep into their sockets, and the flesh on his face has begun to lose weight.

Zhang Biao saw that Duan Fang had become like this in less than ten days, and he suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart. But now, no matter how uncomfortable he is, he has to tell Duan Fang the information he just received, otherwise, he doesn't know how to deal with it.

"Your Excellency the Governor, the Liaodong Army has launched an attack on Yicheng and Zaoyang."

Yes....... Hearing this, Duan Fang took a deep breath, then widened his eyes and looked at Zhang Biao in front of him. He didn't expect that he would now fall into this kind of situation where the heavens should not be called the earth.

He regretted that he had agreed to Britain's request for independence in the first place, and now, retribution is coming, and the two enemies of the Liaodong Army and the imperial court actually walked together to deal with him.

"Lord Governor, think of a way, Zhao Lin sent a telegram that the people of the two corps of the Liaodong Army have launched an attack, and Yicheng and Zaoyang don't know how long they can hold out." Seeing that Duan Fang didn't speak, Zhang Biao asked anxiously.

What to do, what can I do now, without the support of the British. It is impossible for him to achieve any great things at all, but now, he has not yet ascended the throne, and he doesn't know when his dream of being an emperor will be realized.

"Zhang Biao, get ready for time, the old man will ascend the throne, and then make you the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and command all the troops in the Huguang region." ”

"Wow." This position sounds like a temptation, knowing that this position is just a flash in the pan, but Zhang Biao still agreed, he knows that whether he surrenders this time or not, it is death, rather than this, it is better to have a beautiful time, after all, even if he is dead, he is also a person who has been the founding father. This is not a loss. (To be continued.) )
