Chapter 92: Busy Man
There was still an hour before dawn, Liu Jun looked at the dark night sky, and after looking at Tianjin that was still sleeping, he came back to his senses and asked Zhong Lin whether the people who were fooled and arrested by Duan Qirui and him and the weapons given to him by Klinder had arrived at the Qiaoli.
After Klinder returned from Lushun last time, he was determined to have a good relationship with Liu Jun, who was a powerful local mission in the Far East, so this time, he not only gave Liu Jun ten field guns, but also more than 200 guns and countless ammunition. Although there are not many of these weapons, Liu Jun has already looted them once last time, so although they are few, they are already the largest amount that the German legation can take out.
Lin Tai had already asked the two warships to be set on fire after Liu Jun would leave Tianjin today, but he was waiting on the bridge on the bridge, and now after seeing Liu Jun and the others on the warship, he asked the signal soldiers to wave the flag. Signal to leave.
The two warships that received the order to take aim sounded their whistles at the same time, and then slowly sailed towards the sea off Tianjin.
With a click, Liu Jun pushed his room open, ready to catch up on sleep, Li Hongzhang had been waiting for him to talk last night, and when it was time to leave, he had rested for less than an hour.
motioned for Zhong Lin and the others to leave, but saw Lin Tai standing there and wanted to talk about Shenma. glanced at Lin Taizeng: "Lao Lin, what's wrong, what do you have to say, like a girl, she is very unkind." ”
Lin Tai once looked at Zhong Lin and Duan Qirui, and then at Liu Jun, he did have something to say, and it was a complaint, he wanted Gao Zhonglin and Duan Qirui to do illegal things and abduct and sell people in the past few days.
In the past few days, the Hashidate has always been brought in some things by Zhong Lin at night when he got off the warship with the Internationale, which were all tied up in sacks, at first he thought it was an animal, who knew what kind of animal it was, but when he opened it, it was all people, and most of them were soldiers, not to mention, there were many women and children in it. Of course, some of these are automatically boarded on the boat. This would have been nothing. However, what made Lin Tai feel unbearable was that these people actually climbed and shouted at the people who were caught, and they didn't know where to get the towels, except for tearing them apart during meals, and tying them all up, making a good warship like an African smuggling ship.
"Dashuai, I want to sue Zhong Lin and Duan Qirui for human trafficking?" Lin Tai, who swallowed his saliva, thought about it and still wanted to sue.
Zhong Lin and Duan Qirui heard Lin Tai say this, showing a look of grievance, Zhong Lin was even more crying, and said aggrievedly: "Head, you can be the master with us, I am wronged, you made us do all this." ”
Damn, why do you talk like this, it's too special to return to Lao Tzu's innocence. Liu Jun looked at Zhong Lin and wanted to go up and kick it, but now it was more difficult for him to tell Lin Taizeng.
Seeing that Lin Taizeng's mouth could be stuffed into the mouth of a big duck egg, Liu Jun himself was a little embarrassed, after all, he had asked him to do it.
"Hehe, what, this is not called trafficking, this is a way of uncivilized material for the future of Lushun." Liu Jun felt that the bull's head was not in the horse's mouth when he spoke, he thought for a while, and waved his hand directly: "Where are you now?" "It's out of port and it's going full speed ahead." Lin Tai once looked at it.
"Okay, now that we've gone to the open sea, let's go and see those guys who have been captured." After Liu Jun finished speaking, Zhong Lin took the lead in the front, but directly put on a military uniform and followed behind.
Coming to the bottom warehouse, Zhong Lin motioned to the two guards guarding the door to open the room. Then let the two of them retreat, and then let Liu Jun walk in and a few people at the same time.
The room full of people was all caught by Zhong Lin because Duan Qirui's persuasion was ineffective, some of this Hill were on the land, some died in the bed, there were any ways, but there was one that was the same, that is, it was packed in a sack.
These people don't know Liu Jun, but they know Duan Qirui, and even a few of them are Duan Qirui's classmates, it is estimated that now they have understood everything, all of this was instructed by Duan Qirui, so those resentful eyes made Liu Jun feel cold.
Looking at Duan Qirui, who was standing beside him and embarrassed, Liu Jun smiled, he didn't want his generals to bear this infamy.
After looking at the crowd, Liu Jun smiled and said amiably to those who were gagged: "If you want to blame me, I asked Duan Qirui to do this." He just carried out my orders. ”
Just for a moment, the sharp sword against Duan Qirui was suddenly transferred to Liu Jun, Liu Jun smiled slightly, not caring about such a look: "My name is Liu Jun, the chief soldier of Lushun, and the governor of Liaodong." ”
None of the people present knew this character, and they didn't expect that the young man in front of him was Liu Jun, the first celebrity Liu Jun under Li Hongzhang who shocked the government and the opposition, the Japanese army was terrified, and Li Hongzhang.
The hot gaze just now suddenly softened. Liu Jun turned around and looked at Zhong Lin: "Go and untie them all, now they have no way to go back." Seeing Zhong Lin nodded, Liu Juncai walked out satisfied, he wanted to go back and make up for sleep.
Jiyuan's speed was slow, and Qiao Li could only put down his speed and sail with Jiyuan, but in this way, Liu Jun still returned to Lushun, who had been away for seven or eight days, when it was almost dark the next day.
After letting these people who had been abducted and deceived by the pit be sent to the barracks for good care, Liu Juncai slowly returned to the Lushun headquarters.
Liu Jun's return made Li and Wu Datong smile, after all, let them control the entire Liaodong, there is still some unease in their hearts, after all, there are some things that they can't make up their minds.
Back at the headquarters, I messed with something. After a few people devoured it. Li He stood up and prepared to hand over the military and political power to Liu Jun.
Hearing the meaning of the compassionate coming, Liu Jun waved his hand: "For the time being, the two of you are still in charge of the affairs of Lushun, and tomorrow Zhong Lin and Duan Qirui Duan will leave Lushun and go to Sinuiju." ”
He glanced at Wu Datong: "I will attack Pyongyang soon, and during this time, you can organize and send the required materials and grain and grass to the front line." Seeing Wu Datong nodding, Liu Juncai looked at Li He: "I will hand over the military affairs of Lushun to you." ”
After arranging everything, Liu Jun closed his eyes, and after a while, Liu Jun stood up and looked at Zhong Lin: "You go to Ding Ruchang and tell him that the battle of Pyongyang is imminent, and I hope that he, the cavalry commander, can go to Pyongyang together." Ask him for his opinion. ”
Liu Jun wanted Ding Ruchang to go to Pyongyang, after all, so that he could slowly decompose his position in the navy and make room for Li He.
In his opinion, although Ding Ruchang is the commander of the navy, he is compared to Li He, who graduated from the naval school. It's not as good as being a monk halfway through the road as being a monk from a young age.
Ding Ruchang's reply was simple: "Go to Pyongyang." ”
Sinuiju, the closest city in North Korea to the Qing Kingdom, can see Dandong across the river. Before the Japanese invasion of Korea, Dandong and Sinuiju were important business cities in the two countries, but now all this has been sluggish and decadent.
Liu Jun came to Dandong for the second time, and after completing everything that night, early the next morning, Liu Jun led Zhong Lin, Ding Ruchang, Duan Qirui and more than a dozen guards out of Lushun, all the way non-stop, rushed to Dandong.
After the battle of crossing the river, Li Rong's Second Army and the main forces of Shoushan's Fourth Army had left Dandong and headed for Sinuiju and Dingju, and the area around the Sinjin River. Now in Dandong, there is only one brigade of troops. And the commander of the garrison is Feng Guozhang, the commander of the 6th Brigade of the Second Army.
During the Battle of Dandong, Feng Guozhang was the first to rush into Dandong because of his bravery, and also pursued the Japanese army to the Yalu River, and decisively ordered to attack the Japanese army that was crossing the river, thus capturing hundreds of Japanese troops. Liu Jun personally ordered him to be promoted to colonel and brigade commander of the 6th Brigade.
Feng Guozhang had just returned from the Yalu River today from where to supervise the transportation of materials from the Yalu River pontoon, and as soon as he walked to the guard gate, the chief of staff hurriedly ran over and said anxiously: "Brigade seat, the marshal has arrived." ”
Dashuai, Feng Guozhang knew that Liu Jun had arrived as soon as he heard the word Dashuai, he straightened his military uniform and asked, "Where is Dashuai?" When is it coming, why don't you notify me? ”
"Arrived in the morning, he didn't let the notice, said not to disturb you, now in the hall
Before the chief of staff finished speaking, Feng Guozhang ran in excitedly. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Liu Jun standing in front of the map wearing a black cloak. After tidying up the military uniform again, and after seeing that there was nothing untidy, Feng Guozhang walked in, and said solemnly: "Humble Feng Guozhang see the marshal." ”
Liu Jun originally planned to pass directly through Dandong and then arrive in Sinuiju, but after knowing that Feng Guozhang was guarding Dandong, he planned to come and take a look. How is Feng Guozhang's governance.
At that time, Dandong had just been laid, and it was too late to send political officials from Lushun, so Liu Jun set up a military committee management committee at that time, and let Li Rong governor all important military and political affairs in Dandong, but the war had already ignited in Korea, and Li Rong had already served as the front-line commander, so he couldn't scruple about Dandong affairs, so he could only remove the chairman of the Dandong Committee and ask Liu Jun to let Feng Guozhang take this position.
Liu Jun also wanted to know if Feng Guozhang was a talent that could be created, so he agreed, but when he entered Dandong today, he saw that although Dandong was baptized by war, the public security and repair power were not bad. Therefore, it is also determined that Feng Guozhang is a usable talent.
After all, if you can become a warlord, it is not a cover, there must be goods.
