Chapter 384: Abandoning Zhejiang
"What did you say, my lord?" The guard who was kneeling on the ground looked up, he didn't understand just now, what the Governor said Lafayette was talking about.
"What, oh, nothing, you go down." As soon as Liu Kun reacted, he found that the guards had not been pushed down this time.
"Come back, send a telegram to Hangzhou, reinforcements have been dispatched, and the general to Hangzhou can report to the emperor and the people. Be sure to wait for reinforcements to arrive.
The guards were slightly stunned, and immediately ordered something, nodded slightly, and then turned around and ran out.
Watching the guards walk out, Liu Kun sighed again, he almost told the biggest secret just now.
A few days ago, I received a secret telegram, and this secret telegram was a telegram from the current Minister of Military Aircraft Zhang Zhidong, and the telegram was only sent to me in a private capacity, but the content on it. But it's earth-shattering.
The imperial court is now actually negotiating with Japan.
The city of Hangzhou, which has been besieged since November 6th, has been 5 days, and in these five days, the Hangzhou general has been running back and forth on the city wall every day, commanding the Qing army and the Liaodong army to confront.
"General, when will the reinforcements that the Governor said will arrive, and if they don't come, we really can't stop it." The white-bearded governor of Zhejiang watched the shells fired by the Liaodong Army in the distance explode outside Hangzhou from time to time, and looked at the Hangzhou general standing beside him with a saber in his hand.
It has been five days, and the withdrawn troops have been withdrawn to Jiangsu after being defeated by the Liaodong Army outside the city the day before yesterday, and now in Hangzhou City, in addition to the thousands of Eight Banners and patrol battalions that have been withdrawn, the rest are the people who have been forced by themselves.
"Do you really think that old thing Liu Kunyi will send reinforcements." General Hangzhou has been completely disappointed, and for his boss, he is not an adult, but an old thing.
"What do you mean?" The nerd's Zhejiang governor was full of doubts, he didn't understand what General Hangzhou meant
General Hangzhou sighed and looked at the governor with a puzzled look on his face: "You haven't seen it yet, Liangjiang has abandoned us in Zhejiang." ”
"What do you mean? The Governor swallowed. He knew what General Hangzhou meant.
Liangjiang abandoned himself, Liu Kunyi did not have the courage, the only one who could abandon himself was the imperial court, just like the imperial court abandoned Shanxi at the beginning.
The Liaodong Army occupied the entire territory of Shanxi for 11 days, and there was no resistance all the way, almost all of them were still outside the city, and the people in the city had already opened the gates.
"Do I want Zhejiang to follow in the footsteps of Shanxi?" The governor took a deep breath and looked at General Hangzhou standing beside him with some disbelieving.
"Isn't this the case, General Ben has repeatedly asked for reinforcements in the past few days, obviously there are four battalions of Hunan troops on the border of Jiangsu, where to Hangzhou, in five days, it is to climb to Hangzhou, but look at the present, where is there still the shadow of reinforcements." The indignant General Hangzhou sat on the city wall angrily. Constant complaining.
"What do you mean?" The governor is not a fool, there are some things that he can do, but he can't say that General Hangzhou is a martial artist, and there are some things that he can not only do, but also say.
"If you don't do it, you won't do it." After the general Hangzhou finished speaking, he pulled out the saber in his hand and threw it on the ground.
With a clang, the knife collided with the wall, making a crisp sound.
"Understood." The governor nodded thoughtfully, he understood what General Hangzhou meant, Zhejiang laid down its arms and surrendered to Liaodong.
In the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion, Liu Kunyi finally found time to bask in the sun comfortably in the courtyard. Now the war situation in Jiangsu is stable.
The Liaodong Army from Xuzhou has been blocked in Suqian, and the Liaodong Army from Lianyungang has also been blocked in Xiangshui, and now he has dispatched troops from all over the country along the Zhejiang line to support these two places.
Originally, the generals and staff in the Governor's Mansion were opposed to the mobilization of the Hunan army in Jiangsu, which was close to Zhejiang, and they seemed that once the troops from this place were mobilized to the north, once the Liaodong Army entered from the south, Jiangsu would be in danger.
But Liu Kunyi dispelled their doubts.
The main force of the Liaodong Army is still in Jinhua, Ningbo and Hangzhou, where there are tens of thousands of troops, it is absolutely not a problem to block the Liaodong Army from advancing north for a month, and in a month, their own army has already annihilated the Liaodong Army in Suqian and Xiangshui, at this time, they will use sufficient time to mobilize the army to the south, then the Liaodong Army will inevitably retreat to Fujian under the squeeze of their own army.
"My lord, something happened in Zhejiang." Staff member Cheng Wentao's voice rang out. Liu Kunyi, who closed his eyes, frowned, and he could hear that Cheng Wentao's voice had a hint of anxiety and terror.
What kind of thing is it that worries his first staff like this?
Slowly opened his eyes, and after elegantly taking a sip of tea from the coffee table next to him, Liu Kun sat up lazily: "Wen Tao, what's going on in Zhejiang, is Hangzhou taken down?" ”
As expected, Liu Kun showed a hint of a smile, he closed his eyes, and waited for the sentence he liked to hear the most: "Adult wise."
It's a pity that Liu Kunyi, who closed his eyes for a long time, didn't wait for this sentence.
"My lord, Hangzhou has indeed been taken by the Liaodong Army, and more"
It's strange, when did his staff stammer, Liu Kun opened his eyes. glanced at Cheng Wentao in front of him: "What do you say?" ”
"My lord, let's see for yourself." Cheng Wentao finished speaking lightly, and put a telegram in his hand on the black coffee table.
What made his staff so scared, Liu Kun was puzzled, and then picked up the telegram on the coffee table.
"General Hangzhou, governor of Zhejiang, the old man does not take the head of a dog, and swears not to be a man." Liu Kunyi held the telegram in his hand fiercely. Because the hands were too heavy, the muscles were already exposed.
Poof, obviously the fire in Liu Kunyi's heart has not yet been finished, poof, a mouthful of blood spit out from Liu Kun's mouth, and suddenly blood splattered three feet.
"Your Excellency." Seeing Liu Kunyi spit out blood and steal it backwards, Cheng Wentao suddenly stepped forward and supported Liu Kunyi
"Someone, my lord fainted." Full of desolate voices, it suddenly rushed to the corners of the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion.
Xi'an, the boring north wind blows the ancient city of Xi'an, and the wind and sand in the distance are hung by the huge north wind, and they flutter over the city of Xi'an from time to time, maybe the wind and sand are too big. Even the sun in the sky is hidden from time to time. Revealing a hint of apocalypse.
cough cough xi'an two palaces camp, cixi's dormitory, the huge wind and sand made cixi keep covering her handkerchief and coughing li lianying next to her looked at cixi coughing so badly, and there was no way to do it, after all, now, so the windows have been closed and the curtains have been hung, but this.
With a creak, the outside door was suddenly opened,
That kid was so bold, Li Lianying heard this voice, immediately pulled up her face, turned around and walked out. He wants to teach this ignorant guy a good lesson.
"Zhang Zhongtang, why are you here?" Li Lianying, who rushed out to get angry, saw that the people who came in were actually Zhang Zhidong and Song Pan, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, and was immediately cut in half, these two people, now they can't afford to offend.
"Father-in-law Li, worry about informing Lafayette, Liangjiang emergency military situation." Zhang Zhidong, who looked anxious, spoke with a hint of urgency.
"Zhang Zhongtang, our family also wants to report, but Lafayette's current body" Li Lianying showed a bitter face, he really didn't want to disturb Cixi, and what he reported in the past few days. None of them were ever happy for Cixi.
"Little plums. Let them in. The cough inside suddenly disappeared without a trace, and Cixi probably heard the sound of talking outside.
Hey, sighing helplessly, Li Lianying shook her head and took the lead in front. "Wechen see Lafayette, may Lafayette" etiquette still have to be there, Zhang Zhidong stepped forward and began to kneel.
"Excuse me, Cixi waved her hand. Glaring at Feng Yan, he looked at Zhang Zhidong and Songpan, who had already stood up: "What's the matter, you can say it." ”
