Chapter 375: Asking for Blessings
In the hall of the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Cixi learned from Zhang Zhidong's mouth that the troops from the Liangjiang side could not come to King Qin, and immediately slapped the chair and scolded damned.
Zhang Zhidong next to him thought that Cixi was scolding Liu Jun, but in fact, Zhang Zhidong was wrong. Cixi didn't scold Liu Jun this time, but scolded Liu Kunyi, an old thing.
Everyone knows that the Liaodong Army has more than 300,000 people. In Outer Mongolia, Jilin, Heilongjiang, and the imperial court, they accounted for half of the entire Liaodong Army, and this time it was more than 80,000 people from the two corps that attacked Beijing south. Where did the 100,000 people come from in these two rivers, Cixi suddenly understood in her heart that Liu Kunyi was lying, which clearly showed that he did not want to transfer the Hunan army to the north.
Damn it, it's damn it. Cixi kept insulting Liu Kunyi in her heart.
This Liu Kunyi was uncomfortable in his heart, when the Hunan army was dismantled, this person was strongly opposed, and later he once got a secret report, this Liu Kunyi was once a person who supported the commander of the Hunan army, Zeng Guopan, after the extermination of Changmao, so he did not dare to reuse it for so many years.
Later, Zeng Guoquan died, and the Minister of Nanyang and the Governor of Liangjiang really couldn't find anyone, so Liu Kun came up. But now that the court is in trouble, this Liu Kunyi not only did not send troops, but also exaggerated Liu Jun's troops in Liaodong. This is simply unforgivable.
Taking a deep breath, Cixi stood up suddenly: "Immediately issue an edict to remove Liu Kun from the post of Nanyang Minister of the Governor of Yijiang and Liangjiang." "Cixi is ruthless, she must take down this guy.
When Zhang Zhidong next to him heard this, he was immediately frightened.
Eventful, the current imperial court is no longer the original imperial court, and now the imperial court is forced to move west to Xi'an by the Liaodong army, which has made the original majestic imperial court decline in the status of the feudal ministers, if Liu Kunyi is ordered to be removed from his post at this time, Zhang Zhidong is really worried that Liu Kunyi will immediately turn against the water and turn his head to support Liu Jun.
"Lafayette, does Weichen think this matter is inappropriate?"
What's wrong, what's wrong, Cixi snorted coldly, returned to the chair and sat down and looked at Zhang Zhidong, she wanted to see why Zhang Zhidong was still speaking for Liu Kunyi.
Seeing Cixi's face was not good. Zhang Zhidong stepped forward and said the analysis in his heart.
A dehaired phoenix is inferior to a chicken. Cixi's idea of replacing Liu Kunyi just now has disappeared without a trace.
Closing her eyes, Cixi began to meditate.
She knew that Zhang Zhidong was right. If it was still handled in the original way at this time, then Liu Kunyi would otherwise rebel.
It seems that not only can't do it for Liu Kun now, but also has to support it. In desperation, Cixi opened her closed eyes. Stand up: Gently drop a sentence: "You can do it." Then he returned to the back hall with the support of Li Lianying.
Arthur Command. Since the Battle of Handan began, Liu Jun has been staying in the war room of the headquarters and has never returned home, and Zheng Yiqian has stayed here because she is worried about Liu Jun and has been accompanying him.
On the southern front, facing the Hunan army, the Hunan army has been reduced that year, and in addition to the peaceful life of these decades, it has long been worn out, but the ferocity of the Hunan army in the year, and even the combat effectiveness of the Huai army cannot be compared, so Liu Jun does not have to worry at all, with Li Rong's command, he does not have to worry.
Liu Jun is most worried about the northern front, the troops faced by the northern front are almost all new troops trained by the imperial court, although the combat effectiveness of these new Qing troops is not very good, but the officers and ordnance are full of German goods, and they are trained according to the German training method, which has to make Liu Jun pay attention.
Luo Dacheng is thick and fine, and sometimes he can't hold his breath, so Liu Juncai transferred back Wang Shizhen from Outer Mongolia to serve as the chief officer of the Northern Front, and let Luo Dacheng and Feng Guozhang serve as adjutants.
"It's been three days, and there is no news yet?"
"What did you say?" Zheng Yiqian, who was cleaning up the table on the side, didn't hear what Liu Jun said clearly, so she put down the document in her hand and asked.
Seeing that Zheng Yiqian didn't hear clearly, Liu Jun hugged his arms: "I'm saying, when I received the telegram two days ago, Wang Shizhen said that he had broken through the outer defense line and won the last outer defense line of the Qing army, but now it's been two days, and there is still no news, I'm a little worried." ”
Zheng Yiqian smiled slightly, walked up and hugged Liu Jun at once: "Don't worry, Wang Shizhen is the person you personally ordered, and she will definitely not let you down." ”
I hope so. Smiling bitterly, Liu Jun held Zheng Yiqian's hand.
Nanpu outside Handan City, this Nanpu Village was originally a big village outside Handan City. But now, there is no sign of the prosperity of the past, and there are only broken walls and fireworks that have not been extinguished all over the village.
Two hours ago, the retreating Qing army passed through here, not only looting the place, but also carrying out a massacre of this originally harmonious village. Most of the people in the village died at the hands of the Qing army.
Duan Zhen, the commander of the 13th Division of the Seventh Army, who was ordered to pursue, was so frightened that the telescope in his hand fell to the ground after receiving the report from the front-line troops, and hurriedly mounted his horse.
Everywhere there were dead people, burning houses and the cries of some women.
Along the way, Duan Zhen found that most of the women in this village had been stripped of their clothes, and it was estimated that they had definitely been bullied before they died.
"Hurry up...... Go and find out how many people have died. Swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Duan Zhen stammered an order.
The pro-soldiers next to him immediately went to give an order, and an hour later, Duan Zhen found a report that except for thirty-five people in the whole fort, no one was spared.
There are thirty-five people, and there are only thirty people left in the large village of several thousand people. Duan Zhen's hands were trembling, he didn't know what kind of move the big boss would make if Lushun knew the news.
"Immediately send a telegram to the command. Briefing here. After Duan Zhen finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.
At the temporary headquarters of the Fourth Corps of Yongnian, Wang Shizhen stood in front of the map and looked at the current offensive situation of the various armies with fascinated eyes.
In three days, 50,000 people in Handan were annihilated and captured by himself and Feng Guozhang's corps outside the city, and now there are less than 20,000 people who have withdrawn to Handan. And the third town was almost completely wiped out in the bush.
"Lao Wang, it's amazing, something big has happened." Luo Dacheng's loud voice suddenly sounded from outside, and before Wang Shizhen could turn his head, Luo Dacheng had already run in and shouted loudly again: "Lao Wang, something is wrong." ”
What is the matter with this panic, Wang Shizhen frowned, and looked at Luo Dacheng, who was anxious in front of him now.
"What's wrong with you?" In doubt, Wang Shizhen asked.
Luo Dacheng took a deep breath and looked at Wang Shizhen: "Duan Zhen called, when the Qing army passed through Nanpu on the way to retreat, they slaughtered Nanpu, and there were more than 3,500 people in the village, and only 30 people remained. ”
"What?" Wang Shizhen's eyes widened, and he immediately took the telegram from Luo Dacheng's hand.
With a plop, Wang Shizhen sat on the chair.
It's bad, if this matter is known to the marshal, Handan City will probably have to be bloody. Corpses littered the field.
"Lao Wang, hurry up and report to the marshal." Luo Dacheng on the side looked expectant.
report, who dares to report this matter, and the handsome man will not eat Handan after reporting it.
"Lao Luo, you know the temper of the handsome, the handsome has always loved the people, if the handsome knows that the Qing army slaughtered the people, I am worried about ......"
Oh, Luo Dacheng on the side was helpless in his heart, this Wang Shizhen is good to you, you are the mother-in-law. You must know that if you don't report it on this side, then there are other departments that will report it, you must know that Handan still has an intelligence bureau, if you let the intelligence bureau report the news, then at that time, not to mention the Qing army, you will suffer, and you may be dismissed.
"Lao Wang, if you don't report it, someone will report it." Luo Dacheng didn't say anything, just stared at Wang Shizhen's eyes.
By the way, Wang Shizhen reacted this time, what does Luo Dacheng mean.
"Okay, send a message to the marshal." After Wang Shizhen finished speaking, he closed his eyes, and now, he can only hope that God will bless the Qing army. Ask for more blessings.
