Chapter 56: The Shaking of the Four Directions (I)
Li Zhongju immediately ordered the army to press directly on it, and he must crush the last straw in the hearts of the enemy army and win this expected victory. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
As thousands of Zhenwu troops pounced like wolves, the Liangguang training army, which had long been exhausted, was unable to stop it at all, and was almost powerless to resist.
Zhang Zhidong watched all this in shock, and immediately ordered the army to surrender. Zhang Zhidong asked to see Li Zhongju, and the soldiers of the Zhenwu Army immediately brought Zhang Zhidong to Li Zhongju.
Zhang Zhidong saw Li Zhongju again, but his heart was extremely shocked, Li Zhongju sat there like a mountain, tenacious, making Zhang Zhidong feel that Li Zhongju was extremely tall.
When Li Zhongju saw Zhang Zhidong coming, he immediately stood up, "Governor Zhang, please take a seat." ”
Zhang Zhidong did not hesitate at all, and sat on a bamboo chair in one breath. Li Zhongju also sat down.
Zhang Zhidong sighed, "The old man is willing to gamble and lose, and from now on, the land of the two vast places will be decided by you, Li Zhongju, and I will also obey your arrangement." ”
Li Zhongju didn't expect Zhang Zhidong to get straight to the point, so bold and didn't make any other requests.
Li Zhongju immediately stood up and made a big salute to Zhang Zhidong, "Zhongju thanks the Governor for the Chinese people in the world, and he can make a choice for the sake of the national righteousness." Mr. Zhang, in a few years, you will definitely feel extremely pleased and satisfied with today's choice, and you will definitely not regret it. ”
Zhang Zhidong nodded, "Since the old man has made a choice, the old man will keep his promise, and what if you spend your last life crazy for a few years." ”
Li Zhongju looked at Zhang Zhidong and said, "Elder Zhang, we will be a family in the future, there are casualties in both armies today, you must be strict with the soldiers, and you must not let them have a hostile attitude towards the soldiers of the Zhenwu Army." ”
Zhang Zhidong said with a smile, "This is not enough, our Liangguang training army is definitely one of the strongest training troops, and they will never get along with the Zhenwu army in the future." However, this time we lost tens of thousands of people in military training. ”
Li Zhong said seriously, "Elder Zhang, I have an idea, I don't know if Elder Zhang is willing to hear it." ”
Zhang Zhidong immediately said, "Zhongju, please say, we are already grasshoppers on a rope, and we can only resist the pressure of all parties together." ”
Li Zhongju immediately said, "Elder Zhang, I'm afraid that the training of the two Guangxi troops is about to withdraw from the stage of history, and Elder Zhang, you are also older, I think you still help me to deal with the government affairs of the provinces, how about it?" ”
Zhang Zhidong understood that this was not Li Zhongju's deliberate attempt to seize his military power, and he was not suitable to be a general in the first place.
Zhang Zhidong smiled and said, "It's okay for Zhongju to do this, anyway, old man, I'm not suitable for commanding the army." ”
Li Zhongju looked at Zhang Zhidong and said, "Zhang Lao, you are also a representative of the Westernization Movement, and your vision is also unique, you should know the current situation in China." Zhongju told the truth, it was impossible for the Westernization Movement to change the fate of the Chinese nation. ”
Zhang Zhidong looked at Li Zhongju curiously, "Please Zhongju to solve the old man's doubts." ”
Li Zhongju gushed endlessly, "Elder Zhang, what do you think of Prince Gong Yixin, what is the attitude of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and what is the essence of the Westernization Movement?" It is very good that a few of you have proposed the Westernization Movement, but there is an essential contradiction, and you think that you can get rid of the yamen, which is impossible, because you are from the yamen in your own province. Besides, you rely too much on foreign powers, and at the same time there is a certain sense of betrayal, do you think that the Chinese nation will accept the 5,000-year-old cultural inheritance and truly recognize a movement launched for its own interests? ”
Zhang Zhidong frowned slightly.
I only heard Li Zhongju continue, "Your starting point is to take the general public as the premise, but will you do this in your heart? I'm afraid I still can't get rid of the bureaucracy......"
Zhang Zhidong gradually came to his senses, and it turned out that they, like the officials of the Qing court and even the Empress Dowager Cixi, did not really think about the poor working people of the lower classes. All they think about is how much power they have, whether they can continue to maintain the rule of the Qing Dynasty over the world, and they don't care about the lives of ordinary people.
In fact, there is a sentence that Li Zhongju did not say, "The Westernization Movement has a feudal nature." On the premise of not touching the decadent feudal system, they tried to use some of the advantages of Western capitalism to maintain the feudal rule, and this contradiction between the means and the foundation made the Westernization movement doomed to be impossible to succeed. ”
Zhang Zhidong understood, and Zhengse said, "Thank you Zhongju for solving my doubts, I understand, I understand." After Zhongju, I will definitely do my best to assist you and strengthen our great Chinese nation together. ”
Li Zhongju immediately smiled and said, "With Zhang Lao's words, I am relieved." ”
Li Zhongju and Zhang Zhidong discussed for a long time, they had a feeling of hating each other, and Zhang Zhidong felt even more incredible about Li Zhongju's talent and encyclopedia.
The armies of both sides finally cleaned up the battlefield. At the same time, the armies of both sides have returned to the camp, but all the weapons for training have been handed over to the Zhenwu army.
The next day, Li Zhongju summoned the silver-armored general under Zhang Zhidong's command.
In Li Zhongju's eyes, only this one general can see in the training army, and the others are average, but a good general is very important for an army.
Zhang Zhidong's confidant, General Yinjia, is actually called Zhao Peng, a very good general, and when he learned that Li Zhongju had summoned him, he was a little surprised and excited at the same time.
Li Zhongju's words were astonishing, "General Zhao Peng, you select 6,000 people from the training army and set up a brigade, let's call it the Sixth Brigade of the Zhenwu Army." ”
Zhao Peng immediately responded, "The last general will be ordered." ”
Li Zhongju patted Zhao Peng's shoulder, "Work hard, you will be famous in the future." ”
Zhao Peng nodded, "The last general will definitely not disappoint the adults." ”
Li Zhongju told Zhao Peng some things, and during this period, Li Zhongju used the insight system of the battleship system to observe Zhao Peng.
I learned that Zhao Peng's loyalty to Zhang Zhidong was 100%, Zhao Peng was a steel man who dared to do things, and at the same time, he was extremely worried about the safety of the Chinese nation, and he had a patriotic heart.
After Zhao Peng said goodbye to Li Zhongju, he immediately went to see Zhang Zhidong, after all, he also wanted to hear Zhang Zhidong's opinions and explanations.
Zhang Zhidong learned of Zhao Peng's intention, and after listening to Zhao Peng's words, he understood. Li Zhongju did this firstly to value Zhao Peng's ability, and secondly, to give himself face.
Zhang Zhidong looked at Zhao Peng in front of him, maybe in addition to a few friends of life and death, I am afraid that only Zhao Peng understands himself.
Zhang Zhidong smiled and said, "Zhao Peng, from now on, you must obey any orders from Li Zhongju, and there must be no delay or delay. At the same time, you must also be loyal to Li Zhong's affairs. ……”
Zhang Zhidong said a lot, but Zhao Peng's eyes were moist.
