September 11, 1900.

Yanjing.

Li Hongzhang, the governor of Beiyang, arrived in Yanjing and Kyoto a month earlier than in history, and as a candidate for the plenipotentiary and minister of the Qing court, Li Hongzhang was recognized by Britain, France, Russia, the United States and other powers when he went to Shanghai, and the day after arriving in Beijing, Li Hongzhang personally took turns to visit Dou Nale and other ambassadors.

However, before the peace negotiations began, the great powers put forward a precondition, that is, to transfer the Qing troops from Kyoto, Zhili and the surrounding areas of Hebei to the northeast to suppress the bandits.

Li Hongzhang is called a grievance, although the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded Kyoto and the Qing court was defeated, but after all, the coalition army only had more than 30,000 people, and the Qing army still had 50,000 or 60,000 horses in the surrounding area, and it could also continuously draw troops from the local area, so that it would be a deterrent to the return of the coalition army.

But now, the coalition army actually wants to transfer these soldiers and horses, which makes Li Hongzhang feel deeply inappropriate, after all, in this way, the area around Kyoto Zhili will completely become the back garden of the coalition army, and people can do whatever they want, how can this work, and besides, the 80,000 horses and horses that the Northeast bandits said were good, I am not unable to get together, why?

Therefore, after Li Hongzhang's arguments, the two sides finally reached a compromise, and the Qing army requisitioned 20,000 horses, with the help of warships from various countries, set off within three days, and transported them to the three eastern provinces.

September 13, 1900.

Aihui, a two-station town.

Sudden Sudden Rush!

A modern convoy of more than 200 motorcycles drove into the town of Erzhan in the dust, although all of them were full of tiredness, but they were full of energy, there is no doubt that they were the special combat team and artillery unit led by Yue Weihua, who went east from the ice city to Boli, and after bombarding Boli, and then returned to Aihui all the way west.

Seeing Yue Weihua's safe return, the high-level leaders of the Black Dragon Army who came to greet him, including Yue Xiang, the chief of the General Staff, finally all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Uncle Xiang, Chief Counsel, what are you doing here, our Black Dragon Army doesn't want to do this,......。"

"Why, if you want to teach us a lesson, you don't look at you, you don't understand the truth that the son of a daughter can't sit down,......

"That's right,......

Seeing Yue Xiang and Yang Fengxiang, they both came to the second station town to greet him, Yue Weihua was very moved in his heart, but this form is unacceptable, I wanted to stretch my face and say a few words, but I didn't expect Yue Weihua to say a few words, but Yue Weihua didn't speak, so he was directly interrupted by Yue Xiang, and with Yang Fengxiang's help, Yue Weihua was immediately defeated, and then with the addition of a group of regiment-level generals such as Yue Hai, Yue Qingjie, Su Sanpao and others, Yue Weihua completely became the one who did wrong.

Of course, except for Yue Xiang and Yang Fengxiang's criticism, everyone else was smiling, and the return of Yue Weihua with his troops this time can be regarded as a successful end to the Black Dragon Army's third anti-encirclement and suppression.

"Since everyone is here, it's okay, then let's go all the way back, have a meeting as we go, and take a good look at whether our defense line is impregnable."

It has been more than ten days since he left the Wolf Domain, but for the attention of the Wolf Domain, Yue Weihua did not leave for a moment, three days ago, Yue Weihua received a telegram, saying that the five lines of defense of the Wolf Domain have all been completed, and the Black Dragon Army has begun to take turns to enter the defensive position to do adaptive defense training, and now that the main generals are here, they can just check it together, and then discuss the defense plan on the spot and hold a military meeting.

"That's a good idea."

Yue Weihua's proposal won everyone's support, only Tian Dashan, the commander of the engineering regiment standing behind the crowd, looked a little nervous.

"Dashan, what are you nervous about?" Nie Youcai stood on tiptoe and patted Tian Dashan's shoulder with a smile.

"How can I be nervous, the drawings of the five lines of defense in the entire wolf domain are provided by the commander-in-chief, and I built it in strict accordance with the commander-in-chief's requirements, what do I have to be nervous about." Although Tian Dashan could suppress his voice, as a giant of more than two meters, as soon as his voice opened, it was like thunder, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"Dashan, you will lead the team, and explain to you the characteristics of each defense line along the way, as well as the deployment of troops and so on." Yue Weihua directly named him.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief." Tian Dashan hurriedly responded, and after saluting, he suddenly said: "Commander-in-chief, they all say that you are rewarded for your merits, so if the defense line is accepted this time, shouldn't we also give some rewards to the engineer regiment." ”

"Haha, I can't imagine that you are a big man, and you dare to ask for a reward in front of so many people, okay, tell me, what reward do you want?" Yue Weihua said with a smile.

"Commander-in-chief, that, why don't you finish the inspection?" Tian Dashan suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Why, I don't have faith." Yue Weihua said with a smile.

"Yes, I have faith." Tian Dashan responded: "That, commander-in-chief, in fact, the reward or something, our engineer regiment doesn't matter, mainly the wolf cubs below, they also want to go into battle for the Black Dragon Army to kill the enemy, you see, our Black Dragon Army has developed to this day, has fought countless battles, and eliminated so many old Maozi, but, these are not our engineer regiment has anything to do, now, seeing that Lao Maozi is about to suffocate again, and our fortifications are almost built, so, they all hope that I will fight for them a chance to make meritorious contributions, I was forced by them, Commander-in-Chief, and you must promise me. ”

There are now more than 2,000 people in the engineering regiment, speaking of which, it is the largest of all regiment-level establishments, of course, there are many people in it, at the beginning they were migrant workers who did not want to participate in the battle, but as time went by, they were constantly infected by the atmosphere of the Black Dragon Army, coupled with the fact that the Black Dragon Army continued to win, slowly, their courage rose, not surprisingly, I am afraid that the Engineer Regiment may not be less underestimated by other field regiments, and even fight a few words, muttering a few words of sissy or something, plus the original engineering regiment has a combat company, In this way, Tian Dashan will naturally be inked by the people below every day.

"Tell me, what are your plans for the Engineer Corps?"

Yue Weihua said as he beckoned everyone to get on the horse together, ready to chat while walking, after all, when he arrived in the wolf domain, Harley would definitely not be able to ride.

As soon as Yue Weihua turned over and got on his horse, Tian Dashan also quickly picked a horse, and then rode to Yue Weihua's side, and then said bluntly: "Commander-in-chief, the engineering regiment now has more than 2,500 people, I have made preliminary statistics, about half of them are willing to participate in the combat team, these people can be directly organized into the combat unit of the engineering regiment, as the commander-in-chief said before, it can be directly organized into an engineering team, or it can be attached to the logistics department,......。 ”
