Chapter 989: The Liaodong Imperial Court Goes to War
What to do? After looking at Zhong Lin, Liu Jun looked at the telegram in his hand again and said: "Order, Li Hongzhang immediately stop negotiating with the imperial court, and the representatives of the imperial court will immediately seize it, and then order, Wang Shizhen, Zhang Qing, and Li Rong will immediately take effective measures to immediately launch an offensive from now on to solve the southwest." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
The war started, Zhong Lin, who heard this, took a deep breath, and after quickly writing down the order, Zhong Lin looked at Liu Jun, ready to confirm the dispatch again.
"Head, I really sent it, once it is sent, the southwest will be solved by force."
Since they don't want to settle it peacefully, they will use extraordinary means to do so.
"Send it, and tell Wang Shizhen that after entering the southwest, land reform will be carried out together. I don't want to spend more time in the future. ”
"Understood." Zhong Lin replied and ran outside.
Zheng Yiqian on the side has not spoken, Liu Jun decided to use force against the southwest this time, which proves that Liu Jun can no longer allow the imperial court to go on like this, back then, the reason why the imperial court was able to survive and live a stable life in the southwest for so long was because there was a threat from the two enemies of Japan and Tsarist Russia in Liaodong, and now, Japanese Tsarist Russia has completely lost the capital of the threat, Liu Jun came backhanded, and he wanted to talk about the problem of dominating the world.
"What about Hunan?" When Liu Jun sat down, Zheng Yiqian stepped forward and asked.
After the crisis in the southwest was resolved, Li Yuanhong, who was in Liupanshui, returned to Changsha, Hunan Province to command non-stop, and won 15 cities in a row for ten days. Now, the entire territory of Hunan is completely in the hands of the imperial court.
"Hunan?" Liu Jun, who muttered, frowned, and after a while, Liu Jun opened his eyes and stood up: "Call me Zheng Mei." ”
Baoji, after the telegram was sent, Wang Shizhen and others were waiting for the telegram from Beijing, and now, the time had reached eight o'clock in the evening, and there was no telegram at this time, which made Wang Shizhen feel a little confused.
Da Shuai does things, never procrastinates, once telegraphed to ask, at most three hours can arrive, but today.
"Could it be that the handsome can't make this decision," Wang Shizhen, who was sitting on the side, asked Li Hongzhang, who was sitting on the side, after looking at the clock hanging on the wall.
Li Hongzhang was holding the tea in his hand, and when he heard Wang Shizhen ask himself, Li Hongzhang smiled and said: "No, he should have something delayed, think about it, if he can't make a decision, he won't immediately mobilize grain and grass materials from all over the country to the imperial court border after the end of the Dongzhou War." ”
That's the reason, I heard Li Hongzhang say this. Wang Shizhen nodded vigorously in agreement.
"Report, Beijing Telegraph." Finally, the voice of a telegraph operator was heard outside.
Hearing this, six or seven people present stood up at once and looked at the telegraph operator who was coming in.
"The marshal ordered that from now on, war be waged against the southwest, and in addition, the representatives of the imperial court should be detained."
Finally came, Wang Shizhen, who heard this, slammed his fist on the table, and then looked at a few people around him and said: "Order, all corps, corps, divisions, brigades, and regiments, according to the predetermined plan, will launch an attack on the Qing army's positions along the line on time at eight o'clock tomorrow." ”
"Yes." Those present, after answering loudly, turned around and walked out, starting to prepare for tomorrow's attack.
"I don't know, how many people will die in this battle?" After all the personnel left and Li Hongzhang was left in the room, Wang Shizhen took a deep breath and said.
Li Hongzhang saw that Wang Shizhen was worried about the cruelty of this war, lowered his head and thought for a while, Li Hongzhang said: "Where is the war where there are immortals, don't worry, this war is over, we will not have any war in five years." ”
Wang Shizhen agreed with this, nodded slightly, and Wang Shizhen came to the map again to make final preparations for tomorrow's battle.
In Hanzhong, the artillery position of the Sixth Army of the Liaodong Army, thirty-two artillery pieces have been lined up, aiming at the frontline position of the Qing army located on the opposite side.
"What time is it?" Zhang Rui, who was the commander of the Sixth Army, asked after looking at the chief of staff beside him.
"It's 7:50." The chief of staff said after looking at the time.
At 7:50, with 10 minutes to go, the war was about to begin.
"Order, the artillery positions were densely covered for fifteen minutes, and then extended, covering the infantry storm."
"All in place." As soon as the order was given, the artillerymen were already busy, loading one shell after another.
"Ready."
"Put."
Bang bang bang........ Boom Boom Boom ........ An earth-shattering roar began to erupt on the front line in Hanzhong.
At 8 o'clock in the morning on June 29, 1095, the offensive of the Liaodong army in the southwest officially kicked off.
Six corps, plus three independent armies, five cavalry divisions, and eleven artillery regiments, with a total of 300,000 troops, sent troops from Shiyan, Hanzhong, and Guangxi to attack the southwest region.
Chengdu, in the Yang'en Palace, Cixi is in a depressed mood today, getting up in the morning, for no reason, Jade Ruyi, who has always been regarded as a treasure, actually fell to the ground and fell to pieces, this was left to him by his husband back then, but now, there is nothing.
Damn, what's going to happen. Looking at the jade Ruyi that fell to the ground, Cixi thought of it in her heart.
Knock knock knock....... There was a sound of footsteps outside, and Cixi who was inside heard it, and this kind of footsteps was very flustered, and looked at Li Lianying in front of her, Cixi waved her hand and motioned for him to go out and have a look.
Li Lianying knew that Cixi was uncomfortable today, and he also wanted to leave, but now when he heard this, he immediately nodded, and ran out, as soon as he went out, he saw Zaifeng and Fu Wei standing in front of the door, and Wang Zhanyuan, who was the commander of the third town, was also among them.
"Two princes. Ruler Wang, who are you? Looking at the few people in front of her, Li Lianying asked with a puzzled expression.
"Troublesome manager, report it, and say that I have something important to ask to see." Zaifeng said tremblingly.
Hearing that there was an emergency, Zaifeng's voice trembled a little.
When he saw these people together, Li Lianying felt that there was a problem, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ran in and said to Cixi, who was eating breakfast: "Lafayette, several princes said that they have something important to see." ”
Several princes arrived together, this must not be a trivial matter. Thinking of this, Cixi put down the pastry in her hand and said to Li Lianying beside her, "Let them in." ”
A minute later, Cixi, who was sitting on a chair, saw that Zaifeng and several people had already walked in together, and after coming in, these people knelt on the ground.
What is going on, Cixi thought in confusion. (To be continued.) )
