After Li Zhongju gave orders to all units of the Zhenwu Army, he also drew the most elite soldiers from all over Guangdong to supplement the independent regiment, and promoted the regiment to an independent brigade. Zhou Tiezhu, www.biquge.info the pen "Fun", was also very happy, so that he could better protect the commander and play a greater role in the war.

Li Zhongju looked at Zhou Tiezhu's excited appearance and said, "Tiezhu, you go down and make arrangements, we will set off to Song Mingren's third division early tomorrow morning, this time this king must get what he deserves, and he must not allow others to continue to squander everything of our Chinese nation." ”

Zhou Tiezhu immediately said respectfully, "It's the commander." At the same time, Zhou Tiezhu went down to arrange specific matters.

Li Zhongju watched Zhou Tiezhu leave, and his heart was very moved, this real man who was rescued by himself at the beginning, and now he can be on his own, this is a thing worth celebrating.

The news of Li Zhongju's upcoming Northern Expedition was spread through Xinmin Daily, and many people in Guangzhou already knew that almost all of them thought that this was Li Zhongju, the king of Zhennan, wanted to take this opportunity to take revenge, and at the same time, people also hoped that the king of Zhennan could become stronger and stronger, and it was best to overthrow the rule of the Qing court, save the people of the whole country, and let them live happily in the past.

Some people have begun to burn incense and worship the Buddha, praying for the victory of the king of Zhennan, because they all know that as long as the king of Zhennan can win a great victory, their lives will be very good. At the same time, more poor people will live the life they want, and the common people are such selfless people.

On the second day, Li Zhongju led the Independent Brigade and the Huya Commando to advance towards Guangdong Province, this time Li Zhongju made up his mind to make the place he ruled a piece, of course, if the situation allowed, Li Zhongju would not mind taking more places.

Li Zhongju looked at Huang Feihong, who was riding a tall horse beside him, "Dayun, after this war, it's time for the Huya Commando to expand its army, the number of people is still too small and not enough." As long as there are enough personnel in the Huya Commando, we can do a lot of things. ”

Huang Feihong nodded, in fact, Huang Feihong also felt that the number of people in his team was a little small, looking at the tens of thousands of troops at every turn, Huang Feihong was still very envious in his heart. At the same time, Huang Feihong also fantasized that one day he could also command tens of thousands of troops to fight on the battlefield and contribute more to the Chinese nation.

Huang Feihong nodded, "Commander, I know." ”

Then the army sped up and marched towards Zhaozhou Mansion, along the way the people saw that the Zhenwu army was still the same abundance, they would not trample on the grain, they would not collect excess food from the people, and they also helped very poor families along the way.

All this moved the people, and they all silently thought in their hearts that when they or the children of relatives and friends grew up, they must let them join the army and serve the king of Zhennan.

On the afternoon of March 12, 1889, Li Zhongju led the army to finally arrive at the garrison of the Third Division in Zhaozhou Prefecture, and the army was warmly welcomed by all the officers and men of the Third Division, and at the same time, the Third Division expressed the highest respect for the arrival of the army.

Song Naruto said to Li Zhongju, "Song Naruto, the commander of the Third Division of the Zhenwu Army, led all the officers and soldiers of the Third Division to greet the commander, and all the officers and soldiers of the Third Division are ready to go out at any time, please instruct the commander." ”

Li Zhongju said loudly, "Brothers of the Third Division, you have worked hard, this king thanks you for protecting your family and defending the country, without complaints, loyal to the country and the people, you are good." Naruto, early tomorrow morning, the army will march all the way north and attack Hunan Province. ”

"Yes, Commander." Song Naruto and several senior generals of the Third Division shouted loudly.

Then Song Naruto arranged Li Zhongju and Huang Feihong and Zhou Tiezhu and several others to the government in the city of Zhaozhou, of course, Song Naruto also continued to live in the government office, but he gave the largest courtyard to Li Zhongju, which must be done. Because Li Zhongju is the real master here.

On the second day, the Zhenwu army, totaling more than 30,000 people, advanced in the direction of Hunan Province, and the morale of the army was very high, which can be described as amazing. The morale was high, and Li Zhongju and Song Naruto were very happy, after all, the victory or defeat of a war, the momentum of the soldiers was particularly crucial.

Li Zhongju actually knew in his heart that the combat effectiveness of the Qing army was not worse than that of the Zhenwu army, but once the weak army fought hard, it was also very terrifying, which required Zhenwu to suppress the other party in an all-round way, whether in terms of momentum or combat ability, then the other party would have no way to escape.

Li Zhongju came to Song Naruto's third division, the third division had already been deployed, and they needed to rush to the battlefield. The same is true of Li Ran's First Division, which was also on March 13, 1889, with more than 26,000 officers and men of the First Division heading westward, intending to attack Jiangxi Province.

Li Ran's first division is the strongest army among the three divisions, whether it is equipment or the quality of soldiers, it is definitely the strongest, which has something to do with Li Ran himself, it is precisely because Li Ran has the memory of later generations, so whether it is the training of soldiers or other aspects, Li Ran has done a very good job.

At the same time, on this day, Guizhou's Second Division also began to march into Sichuan, Wang Jie was determined to take the whole of Sichuan this time, it can be said that this is the goal of all the officers and soldiers of the entire Second Division, they can't take Sichuan, they feel sorry for the commander.

The second division, approaching 30,000 troops, marched mightily towards the border of Sichuan, and was expected to enter Sichuan Province in a day. Wang Jie's mood is also very good, in his opinion, this time into Sichuan, will definitely win, and it is still a big victory, of course, Wang Jie also takes into account that Sichuan is mountainous, the road is not easy to walk, but what can this be!

Wang Jie is not afraid of any threat from the enemy army and the terrain, he is a veteran general who dares to face head-on. Under the influence of Wang Jie, all the officers and men of the Second Division are very perfect in terms of morale and spiritual outlook, which makes people can't help but want to blend in and become one of them.

In just half a day, Li Zhongju's army had reached the border of Hunan, Li Zhongju ordered the excavation to rest in place, and at the same time he led Song Naruto and a few people to stand here, observing the front, as long as he took a few steps, he would enter Hunan Province.

Li Zhongju said to a few people around him, "This war is related to the trend of the next few years, I hope everyone will not slack off in the slightest, and at the same time, we don't know when the Western powers will come to our China again." The strength of those countries in the West is not what we can compete with at present. ”

Several people all nodded, but they knew that the West could defeat tens of thousands of Qing soldiers with thousands of troops, although the Zhenwu Army defeated the British army and the coalition army several times, but it was because the Western countries did not exert their strength, otherwise who won and who lost, it is really not necessarily.
