Although the three of them were drunk last night, but the next morning, the three of them still woke up early, and there was no discomfort after being drunk in their heads, or how to say that this was royal wine? Although the emperor did not drink......

On June 2, the morning after Feng Guozhang arrived in Zhongjing, he was summoned by the emperor. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This debriefing is different from the previous ones, in which at least two ministers were present and recorded. But this time, only Wang Sirui and Feng Guozhang and two of them were responsible for recording the internal history of the court.

The content of the conversation was unknown to the outside world, and they did not dare to rummage through the documents and archives that recorded the content of the conversation, so this matter was not announced until after Feng Guozhang's death, but after the final result came out, it sounded the alarm for all the people of the empire.

Of course, it may be a bit inappropriate to say that it is a wake-up call, and it may be more reliable to say that it is a kind reminder.

The two of them discussed in the study for nearly two hours, and at 11 o'clock in the morning of June 2, the Imperial Military Department officially telegraphed to the outside world, Feng Guozhang no longer held the post of commander-in-chief of the Fourth Army, but was reappointed as the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Royal Army Reserve.

After this telegram was issued, the Imperial Military Department once again issued a telegram, but this telegram was an internal telegram, the Fourth Army was divided into two, and the 20th Army continued to garrison Taiwan to form a garrison in Taiwan. The 19th, 21st, and 24th armies were placed under the jurisdiction of the Japanese garrison.

At present, the establishment of the Japanese army includes three armies of the First Army, two armies of the Second Army, four armies of the Third Army, and three armies of the Fourth Army, with a total strength of 12 armies, 60 divisions, and a total strength of more than 2 million. But this is not the end, but only the beginning.

This is only half of the troops promised to Cao Kun, and the total number of troops stationed in the army will be increased to 5 million, or even more, within two years.

The internal electrification is naturally unknown to the outside world, but about the previous electrification, except for the Fourth Army, other places did not cause much turmoil, after all, Feng Guozhang's age is there, and it seems that it is only a matter of time before he is transferred to the reserves.

After the Taiwan problem is settled, the troops will go to the Japanese side for a protracted war, and if the problem is not resolved during this period, then Feng Guozhang will hold this position until there is a physical problem, or until the war is over.

But before that, there was a strange phenomenon, most of the elite troops of the four group armies were gathered in the Japanese army, but none of the original commanders-in-chief of the four group armies entered the headquarters of the Japanese army.

All of these units were under the jurisdiction of the Japanese Command, but they did not need to be coordinated by the personnel of their respective armies, that is, they intended to take care of these matters themselves.

This has the advantage that it can make it easier to command the troops in operations and facilitate the command, but it also has the disadvantage that when commanding, the Japanese garrison command may not know the characteristics of certain armies very well, so that it cannot make full use of their capabilities.

On this issue, in fact, the headquarters of the Japanese army stationed in Japan already has outstanding officers drawn from the headquarters of various group armies to take charge of it, and the subordinate relationship of these officers no longer belongs to the various group armies, but to the Japanese army, which is equivalent to the efforts of the four group armies over the years, and finally made a dowry for the Japanese army.

Soon after this telegram was sent, the Fourth Army received an order to transfer more than 30 staff officers from the Fourth Army Headquarters to the Japanese Headquarters.

Prior to this, the Fourth Army Headquarters had also received a telegram from the Military Headquarters and was waiting for the transfer of the Japanese Army Headquarters, and the remaining personnel after the transfer would return to their original stations in China to prepare for the reorganization of the Fourth Army.

And for this result, the Fourth Army is also confused with a capital letter, and the Fourth Army is finished? The strength of the four armies was dismantled, leaving only a disabled headquarters, not even a commander, and then just returned to China to re-form a new Fourth Army? What the hell is this meowing for?

And when the Fourth Army had not yet reacted, at this time, the military headquarters once again sent a new telegram, and the content of the telegram was both exciting and speechless.

Wang Shuqi, commander-in-chief of the First Group Army, was promoted to the rank of Imperial Field Marshal for his repeated exploits in the Sino-Russian War, and his discernment led the First Army to victory at the minimum cost.

The commander-in-chief of the Second Army, Wu Zixu, was in the reconquest of Mongolia and the Sino-Russian War...... Therefore, he was promoted to the rank of Imperial Field Marshal.

Wu Yang, commander-in-chief of the Third Army, was promoted to the rank of Imperial Field Marshal because he had trained a large number of elite soldiers for the empire and made many miraculous achievements in the Sino-Russian War.

Feng Guozhang, commander-in-chief of the Fourth Army, was promoted to the rank of field marshal of the Imperial Army for his repeated miraculous achievements in the recovery of the southern part of the empire, Tibet, Taiwan and other places.

Cao Kun, commander-in-chief of the Japanese army, commanded troops in the Sino-Russian War and was promoted to the rank of imperial field marshal.

The commander-in-chief of the Imperial Royal Navy, Ye Zuqi, was promoted to the rank of Marshal of the Imperial Navy for his contribution to building the navy and re-emerging the navy.

Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Royal Navy, Sa Zhenbing, was promoted to Marshal of the Imperial Navy for leading his army to defeat the Japanese Combined Navy.

The military department sent two (three) telegrams in a row, and the last one announced in one breath that seven people had been promoted to marshal, marshal, what is that? That is the highest military rank representing the military, from the establishment of the empire to the present, a total of more than seven years, a total of more than 300 people at the level of generals, and more than 20 people at the level of generals, but there has never been a marshal.

Many people guessed at the end of the Sino-Russian War that the First Army and the Second Army, which participated in the whole war, were likely to have two marshals, and although the Third Army entered the war relatively late, its contribution was also outstanding, so there was also the possibility of marshals.

But then there was no news of this matter, and there was no mention of the promotion to marshal at all. But after the recovery of Taiwan, he was promoted to seven marshals in one go.

Now that we put this list together, it seems a little strange, for example, everyone's meritorious service is very early, and it seems normal to be promoted to marshal, but why is it delayed until now? And judging from this alone, they seem to be waiting for Feng Guozhang.

The recovery of southern Xinjiang and the recovery of Tibet, although these merits are enough to be promoted to marshal, but compared with others, this credit always feels a little insufficient, but when it is added to the recovery of Taiwan, there is nothing to say.

Well, in the blink of an eye, except for the commander-in-chief of the Japanese garrison, Cao Kun, the commander-in-chief of the navy, and the deputy commander-in-chief, the other four marshals seem to be about to become commanders.

No, Feng Guozhang's strength is the strongest, and he also has millions of reserve troops in his hands. Looking at the other three, the strongest may only be the third army's Wu Yang, the western defense line is currently mainly in charge of Wu Yang, although a large number of elite troops have been transferred, but at least a third of the troops over there are still troops involved in the Sino-Russian war.

Moreover, after several years of training, the newly replenished army of the past is actually not weak, but it lacks actual combat tests, and if it really fights, it will be a strong army that is not weaker than their predecessors in a few months. Wu Yang now has about 500,000 troops in his hands.

The Second Army, on the other hand, boasted of having nearly 400,000 troops, mainly new recruits, who were also deployed on the western defense line.

The First Army was miserable, the main force was transferred to only one Second Army, the Second Army was the oldest army in the Imperial Chinese Army except for the First Army, and the First Army was responsible for the security of the capital and did not fight outside, so the reputation of the Second Army far exceeded that of the First Army.

In addition to the Second Army, there were only three reserve armies left in their hands, which were redeployed and replenished after the main forces were withdrawn.

And after doing the math, it seems that only the Fourth Army is the most tragic, all the troops have been withdrawn, and now there is not even a backbone army under its banner, and the current situation is even more tragic than when the Fourth Army was formed.

However, before anyone could react, several telegrams were connected to the army, first of all, Wu Yang was reappointed as the commander of the Fourth Army, and a corps was transferred from the Third Army as the backbone to rebuild the Fourth Army.

Then Lieutenant General Tang Shi, deputy commander-in-chief of the Third Group Army, served as the commander-in-chief of the Third Group Army and was awarded the rank of general.

A series of personnel transfers and promotions suddenly swept the whole country without warning, and even the civilian population, which did not know much about the military, was in a hurry for a while.

Of course, the main credit goes to those media, who have a relatively high level of education, and have experienced more things, plus they are literate, so after putting this personnel transfer together for comparison, I think of the Taiwan issue that the state did not announce, but let the military department reveal it.

In an instant, people realized that the country was about to start a full-scale war with Japan.

Well, in fact, there has been a full-scale war a long time ago, and it has all been fought to the mainland, and it almost took Hokkaido, isn't this called a full-scale war?

In fact, these media judged that this time it was indeed a full-scale war, because compared to the scale of this war, the previous Hokkaido could only be regarded as a local war.

This time, we will land on Kyushu Island, and if the situation allows, we will even land directly on Honshu Island, and if we are lucky, it is not impossible to take Japan by accident.
