Chapter 45: It's Better to Be Dead Than to Be Alive

In the Jinluan Palace, there was a cool air of searching. Everyone is at risk

Liu Jun's crime is really too big, who dares to bring the charge of rebellion, plus Liu Jun's mouth is quite like that, and he scared Weng Tonggong, the old horseman, in the court on the spot. Emperor Guangxu had no choice but to ask the guards in front of the palace to carry the foaming Weng Tong down the hall like a dead pig, and then let the people from Weng's Mansion get it back.

Although Guangxu didn't have it all, he also knew that this was a strong argument, but he didn't say anything, after all, Weng Tongyi swept his face like this today, and it was good to teach him a lesson.

Looking at the ministers looking at each other below, Emperor Guangxu asked: "This time, the reward for the Lushun garrison is issued, do you have any objections?" ”

No one in the audience spoke. Who dares to say that I didn't see that the people who opposed just now were so cleaned up by this general soldier and rebelled. If you dare to object, you don't know what charges you will be charged.

"The ministers agree." The word of the Jinluan Palace. And trumpeted the emperor's sage.

This is the first time that Guangxu has been in the dynasty for so many years, no one has objected to Guangxu's decision, and Guangxu, who was happy, ordered to reward the yellow jacket and promoted it to the fourth grade, and ordered Li Hongzhang to appoint Liu Jun well.

There is no need to be reminded by Guangxu about this, Li Hongzhang now knows that he is also a Zhang Jianzhi today, he originally thought that Liu Jun was a fierce general, but he didn't expect Liu Jun to be a powerful person on the battlefield, this mouth is not inferior at all, even if it is Yang Shixiang, Li Hongzhang thinks that he is not Liu Jun's opponent.

When he returned home from the next dynasty, it was already time for lunch, although Li Hongzhang was careful Liu Jun cleaned up his opponent today, but he still reminded him kindly: "I know, if you make a slight mistake today, you will not be able to protect your head." Understood. He glanced at Liu Jun, who was cooking rice: "The end can't be like this." ”

After swallowing the rice in the bowl, Liu Jun thanked Li Hongzhang: "Lord Xie Zhongtang reminds me, I will pay attention." ”

Seeing that Liu Jun was so obedient, Li Hongzhang nodded with satisfaction.

In fact, Liu Jun didn't take this matter seriously at all, after all, he was not a Beijing official, he was a foreign official, and it was not so easy to enter the capital, and this time he came to the capital because of a coincidence, if it weren't for the contradiction between Li Hongzhang and Weng Tongyi, he wouldn't even be qualified to leave Lushun.

Dalian, the military headquarters of the Second Army, Dashanyan today rarely put down the military affairs in his hands, and accompanied by the chief of staff, he was ordering two dishes in a very famous restaurant in Dalian, where to drink.

Dashanyan had already received a message from the Sixth Division's Kuroki Weizhen and successfully took Yingkou.

At that time, the Japanese army rode horses to the bottom of the ship, so when Dashanyan received the letter, Liu Jun was commanding the Qing army to fight the Japanese Sixth Division at Yingkou. And he sent a wing of the 9th Brigade to attack Lushun, all for the purpose of diverting the idea of the Lushun defenders.

The two exchanged glasses, and said something that was comparable to Japan, and Oyama Yan got to the point: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, has the attack plan I asked the General Staff to draw up been formulated?" ”

The chief of staff put down the wine glass in his hand: "Report to Your Excellency, the plan has been formulated, and we can attack Lushun after the Sixth Division has finished resting." ”

"Very good, very good, Dashan Yan nodded with satisfaction.

He has been thinking about making a plan for Lushun, but in the face of the defenders of Lushun, Dashanyan has no way at all, and seeing that the time for the base camp to take Lushun is approaching, he is in a hurry.

In the end, after the commander of the 1st Brigade, Nogi Nishinori, gave Dashan Yan's suggestion, he had an idea, that is, after the 6th Division of Yingkou was stable in Yingkou, he would immediately send troops to Lushun with Dalian and attack Dalian on both sides. And when the time comes to attack Lushun, the Sixth Division of Yingkou will inevitably be dispatched as the main force, so just in case, on the day that Hei Mu Weizhen left Dalian, he secretly ordered Hei Mu Weizhen to slaughter Yingkou.

So Kuroki slaughtered Yingkou for Zhen, and this big mountain rock was the first to damn it, just because Liu Jun's intelligence system was incomplete, so Kuroki made a substitute for Zhen, and let Liu Jun clean it up.

After getting the news that the plan had been formulated, Dashanyan finally breathed a sigh of relief and drank a glass of wine again, and Dashanyan rang his glass and sang a bird-like song in excitement.

After the song, the chief of staff said in a loud voice, "Okay, this hemp skin is too good, and Da Shanyan, who is not good at smiling, also smiled. Just want to be modest. Dashan Yan saw a person walking downstairs, this person was not anyone, it was Nogi Nishinori.

Seeing Nogi Nishinori who was going upstairs, Oyama Iwa said, "Why did Nogi-kun come?" ”

Nogi Nishinori didn't seem to hear Oyama Iwa clearly, but walked briskly towards where Oyama Iwa was sitting.

The chief of staff next to him saw the melancholy on Nogi Nishinori's face, just like his dead parents, and when he looked at Nogi Nishinori, he didn't have his original stability, and he looked a little trance.

Seeing that Nogi Nishinori didn't speak, the chief of staff approached Dashan Yan and said softly: "Your Excellency, it seems that something has happened?" ”

Dashan Yan put away his fluttering mood this time, looked at it, and Ye thought that something was definitely wrong.

Nogi Nishinori walked up to Oyama Yan, bowed his head and said, "Your Excellency, the signal corps of the Ninth Brigade is waiting at the military headquarters, and there is urgent military information to send. ”

"What's the matter?" Da Shanyan frowned, he was very puzzled, why was it the communication soldier sent by the Ninth Brigade.

Nogi Nishinori looked at Dashan Yan in horror: "Your Excellency, Commander, are you still ...... It's better for you to go for yourself. ”

To be able to let his subordinates have such an expression, Da Shanyan is a pig, he knows that this matter is not small, and cautiously glanced at the chief of staff sitting on the opposite side. He stood up suddenly: "Go." ”

Riding back to the military headquarters, as soon as Oyama Iwa entered the military headquarters, he took off his coat, went to the stove and took it warm, and asked Nogi Nishinori to bring the herald up.

After a while, Nogi Nishinori brought in a person, and when he saw it, Dashan Yan almost killed the herald standing in front of him with a knife, this person was actually wearing the clothes of the Qing people, and it looked like he couldn't be in the ordinary way.

"Yaga." Da Shanyan slapped the table next to him with his hand: "Where did the Qing spy come from." ”

"Report to Your Excellency General, I am the platoon commander of the communications platoon of the Ninth Brigade, not from the Qing Dynasty." The man was startled, and hurriedly excused himself, and took a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to the chief of staff next to him.

Da Shanyan took it and looked at it, yes, this is indeed a person from the Ninth Brigade, he put the letter on the table, and asked with a straight face: "You are the herald of the Ninth Brigade, and now there is Lieutenant General Kuroki at the entrance of the camp, why is it that your brigade is transmitting information, and the communication corps of your division and regimental headquarters?" ”

"We're from Panjin?" The soldier said.

"Panjin, isn't it in Yingkou?" The chief of staff also widened his eyes and asked in surprise.

Something is definitely wrong, Dashan Yan thought of this and asked, "Say, something happened." ”

The herald glanced at the big mountain rock sitting there in fear, and did not dare to speak.

"Say it." Dashan Yan said with a smile.

"Your Excellency Army Commander, the Lushun army besieged Yingkou, and the Sixth Division successfully broke through except for the 11th Brigade, and the rest of the men and horses, the whole army, the whole army, and the whole army were annihilated."

"What?" Da Shanyan stood up suddenly, walked to the communication soldier, and grabbed the other party's collar fiercely: "What are you talking about, are you saying it again?" ”

"The defenders of Lushun attacked Yingkou, except for the 11th Brigade after breaking through and taking Yingkou. The rest of the men and horses were wiped out. The soldier said it again.

It's like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the big mountain rock feels like the sky is spinning all of a sudden. After staying for a while, Dashan Yan felt a sweetness in his throat.

With a pop, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted on the ground. In this way, the chief of staff and Nogi Nishinori next to him turned pale, and hurriedly ran over, lifted the mountain rock, and sent someone to pass on the military doctor.

The entire military headquarters fell into a panic at once.

In Beijing, it snowed again today, and this light snow was sandwiched with a cold wind, and the windows were clicking. Liu Jun tightened his clothes, walked over, and closed the door. Then he went back to the charcoal fire and sat down.

Yang Shixiang, who was passing by, saw Liu Jun sitting there in a daze, and walked in: "What's wrong?" Alone here in a daze. ”

Liu Jun, who was staring at the flames, raised his eyes to see that it was Yang Shixiang, and dragged a stool: "You, sit down." ”

After looking at Yang Shixiang, Liu Jun opened his mouth and said, "Lord Yang, I want to say goodbye to Lord Zhongtang?" ”

Before Yang Shixiang, who was sitting down, could speak, he heard Liu Jun coming. He thought about it for a while, and it was estimated that Liu Jun was not used to life here. So he patted Liu Jun on the shoulder: "That's it, I've only been in the capital for two days, and I want to leave, are you afraid to enter the palace to meet the emperor and Lafayette?" ”

Yesterday afternoon, Cixi in the backyard got Liu Jun in front of Liu Jun from Li Lianying.

Cixi is the leader of the Later Party, and Guangxu is the leader of the Imperial Party. These two parties only saw open and secret battles, fighting for power and profit, and Weng Tonggong was the leader of the imperial party, and repeatedly let himself return to power, which made Cixi want to swallow Weng Tonggong alive, but Weng Tonggong two generations of emperors, the tree has deep roots, and she is not good at removing Weng Tonggong, but today I learned that this pair was foaming at the mouth of a general soldier and fainted to death on the spot, which really made her very happy, so she announced that Liu Jun entered the harem and met Liu Jun. When he came back, he also rewarded Liu Jun with two East China Sea pearls.

Liu Jun shook his head: "No, I'm worried that the Japanese army will suddenly attack Lushun." ”

Yang Shixiang is a smart person, and he immediately understood what Liu Jun was worried about. He thought for a moment, stood up and said, "I'll go talk to Lord Zhongtang." ”

"Thank you, Lord Yang." Liu Jun looked at Yang Shixiang, who was going out, and showed an imperceptible smile.
