Zhang Zhidong began to reorganize his armament for war, and at the same time he was also preparing to go to Guangxi Province to command the war. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At the same time, all over the country, there were huge waves, and everyone did not expect such a big incident to happen in Guizhou unknowingly.

However, everyone has no confidence in Guizhou, which is poor and bad, and they all feel that Li Zhongju in Guizhou is definitely hitting a stone with an egg, and he can't measure himself.

Li Zhongju also got the news. During this period of time, Li Zhong finally made Guizhou a monolith by means of iron-blooded means and interest binding.

Li Zhongju immediately summoned everyone to come to the governor's mansion, Li Zhongju looked at everyone, and directly ordered, "Wang Jie, you, Wang Rui, Li Ran, the three of you lead your respective armies, with Wang Jie as the main body, to the border between Guizhou and Hunan to resist the army of Zeng Guoquan, the governor of Liangjiang. ”

"No." The three of them immediately shouted loudly.

Li Zhongju said again, "Liu Jiang, Song Ming, and I went to the border between Guizhou and Guangxi to fight against Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Liangguang. ”

"No." Liu Jiang and the others also replied immediately.

Li Zhongju said, "The rest of you must hold Guizhou, this governor does not want internal accidents, and at the same time regularly sends enough money, food and ammunition to the front line. ”

"No." More than a dozen officials from the Governor's Mansion immediately bowed down and replied.

With the issuance of Li Zhongju's order, the whole of Guizhou was mobilized, and many ordinary people even took the initiative to join the team of transporting grain and ammunition. The people's aspirations, if this scene is known, I don't know if I will drop my eyes in surprise.

On June 21, Wang Jie and others led a large army into Tongren Mansion, and Wang Jie immediately chose favorable terrain to begin to arrange troops, set up camp and set up a village, ready to meet the enemy.

Wang Jie looked at Wang Rui and Li Ran and said, "Zeng Guoquan is the ninth brother of Zeng Guofan, and he has also obtained a lot of Zeng Guofan's true inheritance. But now that he has reached the twilight of his life, coupled with this man's arrogance, we still have a chance to defeat him, besides, our Guizhou artillery is far superior to the other party, as long as we use it properly, we will definitely be able to win by surprise. ”

Wang Rui nodded, "Dad, what you said is good." ”

Li Ran frowned, "Commander Wang, in this way, I want to lead five hundred cavalry to block the enemy along the way, first, to thwart the enemy's momentum, and second, to kill as many enemy troops as possible." ”

Wang Jie was about to refuse, but he immediately remembered Li Zhongju's original words: "Li Ran is a very good general, and his ideas and plans will generally succeed." ”

So Wang Jie said, "No problem, but you must be careful." ”

Li Ran nodded, "I understand." ”

Li Ran said he would do it, and immediately gathered three regiments with a total of 500 horses, selected the most elite 500 soldiers from the fourth regiment, formed a temporary cavalry, brought enough dry food for three to five days, and headed towards Hunan.

Li Zhongju led the first and second regiments of Zhenwu, as well as the town's military camp, a total of 7,000 troops, towards Duyun Mansion. Because Li Zhongju knew that his battle with Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Liangguang, would only be on the border of Duyun Province, because the terrain there was flat, which was conducive to the battle of the army.

Li Zhongju looked at the thousands of soldiers, all of them were full of momentum, knowing that this battle would definitely be won. Besides, the military discipline of the Zhenwu Army is definitely the strictest in this era, and the treatment of soldiers is definitely the best.

This shows that the soldiers of the Zhenwu Army are all warriors, the strongest warriors, real warriors.

When Li Zhongju led the army to Dujiang County in Duyun Province, the county commander Zhang Qu had already done a lot of work.

Li Zhongju watched Zhang Qu manage Dujiang County in an orderly manner, and his heart was full of surprise, this was the first time Li Zhongju had seen such a talented official.

Li Zhongju and the county magistrate discussed some government affairs, and Li Zhongju was even more sure that this was definitely a clean and honest official who could really do things for the people.

Li Zhongju decided that after this war, he would definitely promote Zhang Qu. Li Zhongju believes that discovering and promoting talents is something that a qualified person must do.

At the same time, Li Zhongju handed over all the matters of storing military rations and transporting money, grain, and ammunition to Zhang Qu.

Zhang Qu also vowed to do his best to do his best, he couldn't say how loyal he was to Li Zhongju, but he knew that since he was in this position, he had to do his part well and do it beautifully.

Zhang Qu was also a literati who had cultivated thousands of years of Chinese culture, and he sighed long, missing the peak of the Han and Tang dynasties. He was looking forward to Li Zhongju being able to lead the Chinese nation to the top of the world.

Li Zhongju immediately summoned Song Naruto and Liu Jiang and began to discuss countermeasures, how to fight this big battle?

After some discussion, Li Zhongju asked Zhou Tiezhu to send the most elite scouts to detect the enemy's movements at any time, and at the same time immediately reported to Li Zhongju's place.

As the governor of Liangguang and one of the initiators of the Westernization Movement, Zhang Zhidong had great power in the south of the Yangtze River, and even controlled the army of 50,000 or 60,000 in Guangdong and Guangxi provinces.

In other regions, the governor would only be able to control the military power of one province in which he was located, and the governor would have to control the military power of the other province, but this was the exception of Liangguang and Liangjiang.

Zhang Zhidong came to Qingyuan Mansion in Guangxi Province, and at the same time Zhang Zhidong mobilized more than 30,000 troops and prepared to attack from southern Guizhou.

He wrote to Zeng Guoquan to tell him to attack from the east of Guizhou, and the two made an appointment to meet in Guiyang Mansion. Zhang Zhidong believed that with the two strongest governors attacking Guizhou together, no matter how strong Li Zhongju was, he would not be able to cope with it.

Zeng Guoquan was really energetic and ambitious at this time, and the Hunan army in his hands was recognized by foreign powers as the strongest army in China. Although there are only about 100,000 left, and he only mobilized about 40,000 troops this time, Zeng Guoquan believes that with these 40,000 troops, he can definitely sweep away that Li Zhongju in Guizhou in an instant.

Zeng Guoquan summoned more than a dozen generals under his command and said to them, "This time is a good opportunity for our Hunan army, we must play the momentum of the Hunan army, and let the world see that our Hunan army has not declined, and we are still as strong as ever." ”

"Yes, Lord Governor." Everyone said in unison, it is worthy of the Hunan army, and the momentum is not comparable to Pan Fei's army.

Pan Fei also came to Zeng Guoquan's camp at this time, although everyone despised Pan Fei a little, but Pan Fei loved to talk with everyone very much, and he was familiar with his face, and over time, everyone slowly accepted Pan Fei.

Pan Fei said, "Your Excellency, I don't think we should be careless, Li Zhongju's artillery and rifle firepower are very powerful. ”

A general sneered, "It's comparable to the foreign guns and cannons we use." ”

Some people disdainfully dismissed it, "Master Pan, you can rest assured that our Hunan army will definitely be able to defeat the foreign army, but it is not easy to deal with that kind of village and wild mountain man." ”

"If you want me to say, this is the Qing court giving us all military merits."

"Hahahaha, hahahaha."

There was loud laughter from the camp.

Suddenly, a general covered in tatters ran into the camp, "Your Excellency, something is wrong. ”
