Chapter 326: Don't Excessive

Cixi is also crazy, she doesn't want to think about it, Japan is a country, not her subordinates, the "Tianjin Treaty" has been signed, this is repentant, let alone in Japan can't be said, even in Ronglu here, it can't be said.

The signing of a secret agreement with Japan was private, and if Japan was provoked and the agreement was announced at that time, the situation would be unfavorable to the imperial court. The imperial court is bound to become the target of crusade by the common people and even local governors.

Seeing that Cixi was about to get angry, Rong Lu hurriedly said his reason.

Cixi was also deceived by Japan just now, so she said that she did not recognize the content of the "Tianjin Treaty", and now when she heard Rong Lu say the reason, she was in a mood recovery, so she also nodded and motioned Rong Lu to go down.

Ay? Seeing Rong Lu go away, Cixi sighed helplessly. stood up weakly, and then returned to Chuxiu Palace with the support of Li Lianying.

As soon as she arrived at Chuxiu Palace, Cixi asked everyone to go out, and she calmed down herself, what to do.

One night, all night, even if Guangxu came to ask for peace, Cixi did not go out.

Japan reversed course, the strength of the imperial court's army in the south was not very good, and the third town was not still in Baoding, and God seemed to be deliberately playing tricks on himself to prevent himself from taking advantage of the confrontation with Liu Jun.

This battle cannot be fought. After a night of thinking, Cixi clearly got an answer.

There is only the Eight Banners Army in the south, the weapons and equipment are not good, and the senior officials of all parties with military power are now disobeying the orders of the imperial court. If he has a showdown with Liu Jun, if he angers Liu Jun, and then he leaves Fuzhou and enters Zhejiang, then the imperial court's tax revenue will really be lost.

endure, I can only endure this breath and let Liu Jun temporarily occupy Fuzhou. When the strength reaches in the future, he will compete with Liu Jun.

In the Fuzhou Governor's Mansion, Liu Jun closed his eyes and listened to Li Rong and Zhong Lin's achievements and losses in this attack on Fuzhou.

The naval division lost one torpedo cruiser, 130 sailors, and 2,400 army casualties. With nearly 2,500 casualties, Liu Jun was inevitably a little sad, but seeing the results of this battle, Liu Jun also calmed down.

In the whole battle, a total of more than 7,320 people of the Fujian Navy Division were annihilated, and the general soldiers of Fujian and Fuzhou died. The governor fled to Fuzhou, and the attacking ministries also occupied several surrounding state capitals. There is a buffer zone with the imperial court.

"Head, do you want us to take advantage of the victory to pursue, take the whole of Fujian, and then occupy Zhejiang." Zhong Lin saw Liu Jun sitting there. began to sketch around Fuzhou, and he knew that this was Liu Jun drawing the dividing line.

Liu Jun didn't stop the line in his hand, just raised his head, looked at Zhong Lin, and asked lightly, "Why, you give a reason?" ”

The reason is too simple, Zhong Lin smiled, and said his constitution, that is, now that Fuzhou has been occupied, the Qing army in Fujian has been against the Liaodong army, and this patron saint is a good opportunity to take Fujian and even the imperial court.

The reason is very sufficient, and it looks perfect, Liu Jun appreciates it very much, but Zhong Lin does not see as far as Liu Jun, indeed, it is not difficult to take Fujian and Zhejiang, with the ability of the Fifth Corps and the Navy, but if you really want to take Zhejiang, Liu Jun dares to guarantee that Cixi in Beijing will definitely mobilize heavy troops to come, and she will fight to the death with the Fifth Corps in Fuzhou before she will give up.

Zhejiang, Liangjiang, Huguang, Sichuan, these places are the places where the imperial court depends, and the occupation of Fuzhou is dispensable for Beijing, but Zhejiang, that is different, one-tenth of the imperial court's tax revenue comes from here. I didn't start a full-scale war with the imperial court, and there was no need to do such a desperate thing.

In addition, according to the news of the Beijing station, the imperial court has ordered the withdrawal of reinforcements from all over the country, and the Qing army in Fujian has also withdrawn from the occupied area in Liaodong and retreated to another prefecture and county.

He knew that the court was regressing, and he didn't want to fight with himself, if he really didn't lift up and didn't give the court face, I was afraid that a full-scale outbreak of war would be a sure thing.

"The reason is good, but I don't have a decision right now." After Liu Jun finished speaking, he handed over the painted dungeon to Li Rong. said affectionately: "After I leave, Fuzhou and the shipyard will be handed over to you and Pei Yinsen." This is the map of the defense and the boundaries of the imperial court, and within this range, land reform can be carried out, but beyond this boundary, we will leave it alone. ”

"Don't worry, my Fifth Corps will definitely give you the town to defend Fuzhou." Li Rong took the map and saluted Liu Jun solemnly.

The war in Fuzhou has ended, and there is no need to stay here, and Lushun has too many things to deal with. Liu Jun could only go back, but he also knew that Fujian was far away from Liaodong. There will be no help.

The current Fuzhou is not Liangguang, and Liangguang is still under the jurisdiction of the imperial court on the surface, and can be rescued by the imperial court, but Fuzhou is not good, and it can only rely on itself here. Liu Jun can only send a member of the army to guard this place. Among his five generals, Wang Shizhen was stationed in Outer Mongolia to guard against Tsarist Russia and Inner Mongolia Liumeng. Duan Qirui was in Shengjing and wanted to defend the Qing Dynasty, while Feng Guozhang was in Heilongjiang and wanted to guard against Tsarist Russia. Ding Ruchang was in Korea to guard against Japan, and only Li Rong could be drawn, although Li Rong was still a little lacking in ability, but Liu Jun believed that this was only temporary.

"We'll go back tomorrow, and you'll eat here tonight." After a year, he didn't see Li Rong and was about to leave after a few days, Liu Jun was a little reluctant after all, so he let Li Rong stay, have a light meal, and then promote Li Rong's military ability by the way.

At the Mawei Military Port in Fuzhou, the sea breeze carried the hot wind, and the yellow dragon flags on the wooden warships of the Fujian Navy Division and the armored cruisers of the Beiyang Navy Division moored in the military port were blowing. On the dock, Liu Jun looked at the dilapidated warships of the remaining Fujian Navy Division moored to the side, and shook his head regretfully. He guessed that more than ten years ago, without the Sino-French War, the Fujian Navy Division would not have become like this, becoming a water master who was not loved by his grandmother and uncle.

"Pei Lao, after the completion of the Son of Heaven plan, the main task of the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau is to get the Fujian Sailor for me. It's not a big deal. Smiling slightly, Liu Jun pointed to the Fujian sailor in the distance, turned his head and said to Pei Yinsen, who came to see him off.

Engage in Fujian sailors. Pei Yinsen's heart moved, and he was suddenly a little grateful to Liu Jun. To tell the truth, he has been here for so many years, and every day he hopes to build the Fujian Naval Division, and even sometimes he thinks that if the Fujian Naval Division is not returned to the imperial court, but Liu Jun, I am afraid that now, like the Guangdong Naval Division, has armored ships.

Now, Liu Juncai took Fuzhou and accepted the Fujian Navy, thinking that Liu Jun would abolish the Fujian Navy, but he didn't expect that what he heard now was that Liu Jun wanted to reorganize the Fujian Navy. How not to excite yourself.

"Marshal, I thank you for Zuo Zhongtang, the officers and soldiers of the Fujian Navy Division who have sacrificed their lives." Pei Yinsen was in tears. Prostrate and bow.

Pulling up Pei Yinsen, Liu Jun knew that he was talking about Zuo Zongtang and Shen Baozhen, the then Minister of Shipping. This Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau has been the Fujian Naval Division, all of them are pulled by the two of them, but unfortunately, the two are really unlucky, Shen Baozhen died early, Zuo Zongtang learned that the Sino-French War Imperial Court signed a traitorous state, and died of anger, since then the Fujian Naval Division and the Shipping Bureau have been squeezed by the old man to build ships instead of buying ships, and it is not as good as a year.

"Don't thank you, I'll give you an indicator, in three years, you have to build at least five torpedo cruisers for the Fujian Navy Division, and an armored cruiser, according to the standards of the Yinsen, produce one as a flagship, after all, this wooden ship is really ...... Ay. Liu Jun shook his head helplessly and turned to the deck of the Hashidate.

Woowoo...... As soon as Liu Jun got on the boat, the Hashidate immediately issued an order to set off. Begin to take the lead and slowly leave the docks.

I hope that in three years, we can live in peace with the imperial court looking at the crowd waving in the distance and looking at the sky in the distance liu jun sighed and thought lightly.
