Chapter Seventy-Eight: Heaven and Earth Work Together
"Look, what kind of flag is that?"
With the call of a former showman who was earning four hangings of August grain in the dock and being a bookkeeper, everyone raised their heads.
At the beginning of the Sino-Japanese War, the business of several large wharves in Tianjin Wei was much worse. A few days ago, the small fleet shelled Dagu, and the storehouse merchants near the wharf, as well as the grain ships that were moored to the brim, were evacuated as if they had lost fire. The largest port in North China resembles a ghost town for a few days.
It is said that the devil's fleet also went straight to the north of the Bohai Sea to block the waterway between Xu Dashuai and North Korea. There are also foreign devils who can probably see that Haidong Xu is handsome, and outsiders can easily bully the Qing Dynasty, let alone Xiao Yuben, who has only eaten enough for a few days. Tianjin Wei is a big wharf for trade with other countries, and there are many people who eat foreign food when mixing foreign affairs, and they are well-informed. In the past few days, there has been good news, those Western devils have announced the protection of the North China Trade Terminal! The foreign devils have seen the cheapness and are going to stand on our side! Isn't this all Haidong Xu Dashuai fighting for?
When the Western devil warship came, Xiao Yueben's warship had to retreat, and business could be done again. If you don't die for a day, you have to eat, and if you don't die for two days, you have to wear, and the small workers at Jinmen Wharf are all from the area of the Military Grain City, and they have eaten wharf meals for decades. When the battle was at its worst, everyone went to the countryside, and although it was still a little dangerous, they were still trying to come back and go back to work. I don't know why, there is a Xu Dashuai in the Qing Dynasty who stood up, and the waist board of the big guy is a little harder than usual, no matter how powerful the little devil is, someone will clean it up, right?
As the war dragged on for several months, the port of Jinmen had piled up large quantities of soybeans from Northeast China, Jizhong cotton, pig bristles, raw silk, tung oil, and tea that had been beaten into bricks -- this was pretending to be Indian tea to coax the foreign devils of Citigroup. There are already a few more foreign ships on the dock that I have never seen before, they are big and new, and they have smoked all day long, and they have not been extinguished. Under the protection of these warships, in Hong Kong, the foreigners and merchant ships that had been hiding in Guangzhou for many days also came in droves, and these workers on the wharf who had just gone to work were very busy! The Chinese merchants of the major foreign companies had long been anxious for the loss of these days, and the Chinese merchants offered twice the price, and four meals of white flour pork were eaten openly, so that the small workers worked hard to load and unload the goods. Even the big-nosed foreign businessmen walked around the dock with civilized sticks, barely squeezing out a smile on these small workers, and a little more easy-going, and loudly proclaimed in blunt Chinese: "With our protection, I will never dare to come here again!" We support your General Xu in fighting to the end! ”
Overall, although they are a little tired, the big guys are quite satisfied with the current day, but they still feel a little dissatisfied when they look at these high-nosed foreign devils.
————If Haidong Xu Shuai of the Qing Dynasty was here, or there were Praetorian Guards here, saying that he had their protection, Xiao Yue would not dare to come over, wouldn't he feel even more arrogant?
Not to mention other places, Tianjin Wei, who eats on the dock, should set up an immortal tablet for Xu Dashuai!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the dock, a few workers looked up at the shouts of the bookkeeper, and then a group. The people who looked at the sea first let out a sound of cheering, and in the blink of an eye, the cheers became one and more people looked towards the sea. Even the foreigners who patrolled the pier turned their gaze. The cheers grew louder and louder, the workers threw down their work and ran towards the pier with sweat towels, and the bookkeeper lost his book and brush. Several Chinese businessmen also threw away the hookah in their hands and ran so fast that the little two sons who were waiting for cigarettes around them couldn't keep up with their footsteps. The foreigners on the dock also took off their top hats, although they did not join in the fun with these Chinese, but also expressed their basic courtesy and respect for the coming ship.
It is the time of high autumn weather, the sky in northern China is as clear as a mirror, and the Bohai Sea is full of turquoise waves. On the ocean, two British-flagged warships are sailing over, one on the left and one on the right, holding a new-style dark ship merchant ship that also flaunts the British flag, but on the bow of this merchant ship, there is also a dragon flag fluttering with its claws and teeth!
Praetorian Guard!
The cheers were grounded, people surged like a tide, and felt hats were thrown up, rising and falling between the clear sea and the sky. The crowd rushed to the edge of the pier in spite of it, and the sea was under their feet, and the people stopped and shouted like crazy at the warship. If everyone is still a little worried these days, they are completely relieved when they see the Canglong Banner of the Praetorian Guard, with our soldiers and Xu Dashuai, the devil can't come to Tianjin Wei again! Although the three boats that came were all devils, but there was only a Canglong flag, how long had it been since the Qing Dynasty had such a majestic handsome and battalion head that spanned thousands of miles?
I think that at the beginning, the imperial court was going to surrender, or this handsome man was not going to surrender!
Even those pampered Chinese businessmen were crowded around with these sweaty laborers, and a chubby Chinese businessman muttered to the Buddha: "Amitabha, fortunately there is such a Praetorian Guard, so we didn't pay the bill...... Business will stop for another two months, and we will all have to go to the dock to carry sacks! ”
Unlike the excited crowd on the docks, two groups of people were also watching the sudden arrival of the Praetorian Guard flag from an inconspicuous corner in the distance.
One of the people is all dressed in civilian clothes, but they have a little more wealth and official spirit, and even the subordinates who serve them are also the slaves of large families, as long as there are irrelevant people approaching, they all make a low sound of eating, waving their hands to drive away - this is the style from the capital. The group stood guard in a teahouse near the left side of the pier, and the waiters stood outside, and the people inside, sitting or standing, also looked out of the window. This teahouse was originally a place for the wharf coolies to drink big bowls of tea, but now it is all covered, and even the shopkeeper of the teahouse has been rushed to the kitchen. The shopkeeper didn't have half a sentence of nonsense, because he had already recognized it, and now he was sitting in the room, and the middle-aged man with thin and blistering eyes was the god of wealth in Beiyang, Sheng Xuanhuai!
Needless to say, all of his people are Beiyang figures. There is a camp office, an aftermath bureau, a copywriting office, and a machine bureau...... Most of these Beiyang figures are talents in Li Hongzhang's pocket. There is a limited shortage of local officials, and Li Hongzhang's Beiyang situation is large, and he is also doing foreign affairs, and a large number of bureaus have been set up to place these Beiyang talents. These people are not like officials who have real shortcomings, and they are really one and Li Hongzhang are both prosperous and lossy. When Li Hongzhang was there, everyone was walking sideways, eating and drinking spicy food in the Beiyang group, but now Li Zhongtang is unlucky, and the court is clearly going to attack Beiyang, these people are really panicked, and no one knows if the situation in Beiyang can be maintained! The situation in Beiyang is not there, where are they going to betray the storm and thunderstorm?
The relationship is not too deep, and those who have backers are looking for other ways to operate. Today, these people in the teahouse are too deeply imprinted by Li Hongzhang, and they consciously unite around Sheng Xuanhuai, Li Hongzhang's big tent - Li Hongzhang's two most trusted figures, Yang Shixiang died inexplicably, and Sheng Xuanhuai's money bag is left, and if he doesn't point to him to find a way out for everyone, who else will he point to?
Now they are waiting here, naturally they have a reason, but looking at the frenzied crowd of people on the dock in front of them, they all have complicated expressions.
"If only the middle cousin was in ......"
"Cough, I saw that people's buildings were up, and I saw people's buildings collapse...... This luck is really indescribable! ”
"Now is the time for flowers to bloom and cook oil on the fire, can we put our hot face on the cold ass of the herringbone?"
Sheng Xuanhuai, who was sitting in the room, watched everyone's expressions coldly, he will be fifty years old this year, thin and thin, and his benefactor Li Hongzhang has a triangular face, but he looks lean and capable. It seems to be full of agency information, and it looks smart when you twist it. Xu Yifan once had a relationship with him in Tianjin, and his private evaluation was to change this half-old man into an Armani suit and a leather briefcase, which looked like the office director or financial director of a large state-owned enterprise group in his time. When he was in the National Development and Reform Commission, he had many dealings with such figures. That's a first-class person.
There is no need for Xu Yifan to comment, this Sheng Xuanhuai is also a very smart person. Although the political pattern is not large, he single-handedly assisted Li Hongzhang in running such a big foreign affairs business with the qualifications of only passing the boy's test, studying in the county school, and not even having a Xiucai diploma. The modern shipping enterprise China Merchants Bureau, China's modern coal mining and iron and steel industry starting from Hubei, and the modern railway industry starting from Zhili all left his figure. It is an exaggeration to say that Beiyang can have today's situation, and Sheng Xuanhuai has at least half of the credit for this big tent!
But Sheng Xuanhuai is too powerful and has too much money. Beiyang's money is surging outside the capital like a sea river, and it is all he, the first-hand manager of the Beiyang big tent. It also served as one of the two largest customs in China at that time, the customs of Zhilijin Customs. There are already many people who are red-eyed, and he is very deviant and unscrupulous in doing foreign affairs. At the beginning, everyone was afraid of Li Hongzhang, and everyone didn't dare to get him, but now as soon as Li Hongzhang falls, the news in the capital will continue to come over. Many ministers of military aircraft and princes with real power have openly or covertly said to him that they want Sheng Lao Liu to spend money to buy peace, and all kinds of handicaps will be opened, and I am afraid that they will only add up to seven or eight million taels.
It's okay to spend money to buy peace, but I'm afraid that I can't buy peace even if I spend money. And he has to leave behind the Beiyang foreign affairs that he has the right to do in his career!
Thinking of this, Sheng Xuanhuai didn't echo the sour scratches of the characters below, but his face sank like water. His long nails lightly knocked on the tabletop, just pondering heavily: "Zhang Youqiao, Zhang Youqiao, have you seen it again this time?" Back in Fujian, you had already misread it once, what about this time? Did you bet on the right treasure? ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the second floor of a business inn far away from the teahouse where Sheng Xuanhuai and the others stayed, there were also seven or eight people clustering around an old man, looking towards the dock.
The old man's white beard fluttered, and his short and fat body was like the noble Han Lao shopkeeper that Xu Yifan met when he first arrived in the Qing Dynasty. There were several men around him, all of whom were full of refined taste, with braids coiled on their heads and yellow or red braids. Old Man Han actually held a German eight-fold Zeiss telescope with the symbol of the Praetorian Guard, and just quietly stared at the dragon flag waving in the wind on the sea. The men around him looked excited, some nervous, and some were talking in a low voice.
"The cadres are handed over to the first day, and the green dragon is no match for the white tiger! Didn't you also say that the four or five elephants in the back picture were pushed? Yanyun opens the world with the same, and the golden crow hides in the white ocean. From now on, I don't dare to be the leader, and the morale of the army has come to an end! This image in the peaceful era of the return to the soldiers, when on the ocean, since then, is the prosperous era of the change of dynasty! Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng said this as early as two thousand years ago! ”
"Isn't it? Like Wushen, now is the first day, exactly 14 years from now, when the long-haired Taiping King made trouble for 14 years, this elephant should also be we make trouble for 14 years! The hexagram is two men shooting their heads, one is needless to say that it is Haidong Xu Shuai, and the other can be who? Of course it's us! ”
"This surnamed Xu has become lucky, the dragon vein of the Central Plains was pressed by the wild dragon from the north, and the evil spirit of the foreign devil from the west was rushed, and he jumped to the north of Korea further east to hide, Xu Yifan went to North Korea, just in response to the great luck of the dragon vein, look at the flag, isn't it clear? Let's open the altar and start an incident, take the morning and not the evening! With the surname Xu as the senior brother, we can teach hundreds of thousands of brothers to turn Yanjing City upside down! ”
Old Man Han slowly put down the telescope in his hand, and just glanced at the men behind him faintly.
Several men looked at his expression, and doubled their mouths: "Old man, you are the great protector of the Incense Sect, you can't wait any longer at this time!" Xu Yifan's ships can swagger to Tianjin Wei. We've done a lot of work for his Praetorian Guards this time! Escorting goods, he is recruiting troops in Zhili, which time did we not secretly protect the Fa for him? He fought this battle, and Dasheng Kui Wangshao said, two million went down. Isn't it just to buy one today? ”
"Now there are hundreds of brothers in the Praetorian Guard, and when the time comes, when the altar is opened in the Praetorian Guard, everyone will be miserable, and the Praetorian Guard is not ours? Xu Yifan, let's treat him as a senior brother, can he still say a word? You can say it in front of him, this thing, if you don't do it, you can just watch it, it's ugly, after this effort, we can't catch up with a mouthful of hot! ”
"Xu Yifan's family, isn't it in our hands? He's in our fingers! Old Dharma Protector, tell you the truth, when will it be launched? ”
The surrounding discussion was so hot, and the old man Han Zhongping was still that immortal, and even took out a jade comb to straighten out his white beard. The sparks in the eyes of the surrounding men were about to pop out, so he spoke slowly, his voice was not loud, but his tone was serious.
"Confused!"
A few men around were dumbfounded, the Xiangjiao was originally a very loose group. Although they are hidden as the leader and the most powerful, they did not rely on the support of Old Man Han to get together, and they have only fought for the central position in the incense sect in recent years. The legend of the old man Han is that he was born with long hair, and he is not dead in his heart, so he and they are eating in the yellow earth, and the senior brothers who believe in Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie are fighting again and again, although the old man is not a person from the Xiangjiao, but when he speaks, no one dares not to listen. When he scolded people like this, no matter how hot everyone's mind was, they didn't dare to say more. Even Xu Yifan, who is now in the limelight, is not this old man Han helping him out?
If it weren't for this old man Han, he would have suppressed a scattered incense sect twenty years ago, where could there be today?
Han Zhongping smiled coldly: "Do you think Xu Yifan is better?" What you think, you have to wait for this Xu Yifan to completely stabilize his position! He is now covering the world, and he is slandering the world. All your plans must be made through the big tree of Xu Yifan! Now luck is converging on Xu Yifan's side, but he can't win beautifully, everything is in vain! I persuade the big guys, or go home and open the altar, and ask Sun Xingzhi Zhu Jingtan or Huang Tianba to go down to earth, and bless Xu Yifan to clean up the devils in the Northeast! ”
After saying a few words, the senior brother and the messenger present almost pouted. Tianjin Wei eat a lot of fragrant children of the dock meal, Da Shengkui naturally set up a north warehouse here with this assistant, a few days ago the son has been closed, today the old man Han passed by Tianjin to be interested in the inventory, see how much the loss of the previous days did not ship, everyone is just to accompany the old man to the dock stack room to inventory goods, by the way to please the old man happy, see the big ship of the devil hanging the flag of the Praetorian Guard, everyone was excited to say a few words, the result was a boring child, the moment is gray to disperse. After saying hello, he went down with his head on his head. Only Han Zhongping was left standing there.
The old man pinched the binoculars and looked at the sea again, the pilot ship of Tianjin Customs had already hung a full flag to pick up the three boats, and the whistle whined, echoing between the sea and the sky.
"Xu Yifan wants to meddle in Beiyang so soon? The battle over there has not yet come to fruition, can he eat it? What's next? Do you push it, or wait and see? ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Old Man Han guessed wrong this time, he didn't know that this merchant ship with the flag of the Praetorian Guard came over.
The merchant ship docked, and the two British warships escorting the merchant ship also dropped anchor in the deeper water. On the wharf, there is already an anti-smuggling team from the Tianjin Customs to maintain order. Originally, the Qing Customs was both Chinese and foreigners, and many of the officers commanding this anti-smuggling team were foreign devils wearing self-purchased Western-style military uniforms. They stood with their sticks behind their backs, glancing at the crowd of people struggling to rush here, and at the dragon flag fluttering in front of the steamer.
The crowd on the dock was already packed, ripping open their throats and shouting loudly. The anti-smuggling team members were sweating profusely and pulling a line of people to maintain order. The numb and silent Chinese in the past are like crazy at this time, which makes these foreigners who belong to the Chinese customs feel a little strange in their hearts.
The steamer had lowered its springboard, and everyone looked eagerly as people were stacked on top of each other, leaving only a jungle of arms dancing over their heads.
When the whole country surrendered, in the entire Qing Dynasty, only the army hanging this flag was fighting to the death. shouted a strong voice that did not descend to the whole world, beat Xiao Yueben downcast, beat the foreigners with admiration, beat the imperial court to change the decree, beat Li Hongzhang and Weng Tonggong The two big men bowed down and stepped down, and beat them, the ordinary people of Tianjin Wei, to eat the dock rice again!
This Haidong Xu Shuai is really a man who has fought for three thousand miles, and he has been a million soldiers with a sword!
I don't know who shouted first, and then the chaotic cry spontaneously turned into a sound, shaking the heavens and the earth, as if the Bohai Sea could be shaken.
"Xu Dashuai! Xu Dashuai! Xu Dashuai! ”
What appeared on the springboard was a figure of an official in his early thirties, with clear eyebrows, although he was still smiling reservedly, but his heart was turbulent.
Of course, this person is not Xu Yifan, but Tang Shaoyi, the head of the civil officials in Xu Yifan's team. He looked at the scene like an angry tide below, looked at the heads of people who couldn't be pressed by the black pressure, listened to the roar of the waves, I don't know why, his eyes became hot all of a sudden, he forced himself to press the emotions in his heart, turned around and smiled: "Brother Youqiao, brother really doesn't know, our Xu Shuai already has such a reputation!" ”
Standing behind him was Zhang Peilun, who took the risk to rush to North Korea and inform Xu Yifan of Yang Shixiang's changes, the sea road was bumpy, Zhang Peilun's face turned a little blue, and he looked at the prospect behind Tang Shaoyi, and was slightly distracted for a while. Hearing Tang Shaoyi's words, he nodded slowly: "This is what Xu Dashuai fought for...... Brother Shaochuan, this is the general trend and luck, but it is also your hard work! That's why the brothers are strong Brother Shaochuan to take this trip, the marshal's martial arts team has made great achievements, your literary team wants to have room for improvement in front of the marshal, and there are some things that must be done for the marshal! ”
Tang Shaoyi used to be just an alternate official with the rank of prefect, and he was born as a child in the United States, and he was regarded as an outlier everywhere in the officialdom. was semi-forced by Xu Yifan to join his command, how could he think of the scenery today? Hearing Zhang Peilun say it intimately, he immediately cried grateful, and turned around with a deep sigh: "Brother Youqiao, Your Excellency is talented, how can Tang be able to do it?" The merit of this matter is led by my brother! He said that colleagues, and I hope that Brother Youqiao will give me more advice! ”
Zhang Peilun just smiled faintly.
This time it was indeed Zhang Peilun's idea to come to the sea, and the merchant ships carrying them and the escort ships were all contacted by Zhang Peilun. He is Li Hongzhang's son-in-law and has long been in contact with foreigners. In addition, it has been said that the Western powers have intervened in this war recently, and they have faintly revealed their support, but they are just struggling to get in touch with Xu Yifan, who is the commander of the army. He assisted Tang Shaoyi in Pyongyang, and exchanged letters and telegrams a few times, and immediately became pimped. After the definite news of Li Hongzhang's downfall came, he wandered around the room all night, and finally suggested that Tang Shaoyi, as Xu Yifan's representative, seize the opportunity to venture into the sea and meddle in the Beiyang! The foundations left by Li Hongzhang can be grasped in their hands, so they have to start quickly!
A telegram passed, and Sheng Xuanhuai, who guarded Li Hongzhang's inheritance, immediately called back, and was very willing to meet with Brother Shaochuan and Brother Youqiao. Another telegram, through the relationship of Hurd, the customs superintendent of the Qing Dynasty, contacted two warships of the British Far East Fleet stationed in Tianjin to protect merchants and overseas Chinese, plus a fast merchant ship, floated across the sea, and then they boarded the ship to Tianjin. Zhang Peilun is indeed accurate, quick to start, and even more hands-on-eye. If it were Xu Yifan alone, he would still be in southern Liaoning to reorganize the troops, arrange the battle line, and prepare to fight the little devils. When I thought of collecting this foundation, maybe the people sent by the imperial court would have eaten Beiyang to pieces!
But this general trend and fortune are also won by Xu Yifan by himself with blood all the way.
Fortune is the same force of heaven and earth - Li Zhongtang fell in the second half of his life, is it because he doesn't know how to fight for this luck? I don't even know, what exactly is this lucky number?
Zhang Peilun shook his head in his heart suspiciously, cheering up and looking at Tang Shaoyi's grateful gaze. Reluctantly smiled and said: "The people of Jinmen, I hope that the Praetorian Guard is like a divine soldier, Brother Shaochuan, on behalf of you Xu Shuai, don't let the people of Jinmen down." ”
"What would I say! I'm not Xu Shuai, in one sentence, I can make tens of thousands of tigers die forward, and I will never look back! Tang Shaoyi was still shaking his hand there, and Zhang Peilun had already pushed him onto the springboard with a smile. Watching Tang Shaoyi walk down, the cries below were even more deafening, and the people couldn't figure out whether the person above was Xu Yifan or not, but in such a battle, there was no doubt that it was the Praetorian Guards who came, except for cheering and shouting, I really didn't know how to express it!
Tang Shaoyi walked on the gangplank with soft legs, frowning for the rarity. A gust of sea breeze blew, and the cheers below were even louder, and looking at the past, many people were already in tears. He subconsciously looked back, only to see that in the sea breeze, the Praetorian Guard flag had been completely unfurled, and the dragon was dancing, like a divine object.
He was born as a child in the United States, and in the United States, he once saw the Star-Spangled Banners fluttering at the door of every National Day. When I returned home, I passed through England, and in Trafalgar Square, I also saw the people of the whole London, waving the national flag to welcome the royal fleet returning from the battle.
But he returned to a motherland without a national flag.
The people are silent and numb, the officials are arrogant and detached, and everything seems to have stood still hundreds of years ago, unchanged. Several docks were opened, foreign guns, warships were bought, machines were bought. But the concept of the state and the modern nation does not seem to have stirred up the slightest ripple in this pool of stagnant water.
When will these silent people cheer and be excited about a banner?
Suddenly, he seemed to be back in Pyongyang, and every time he looked south and north in the dark night sky, he could always see the fire in the depths of the night sky, and the faint sound of gunfire. Groups of Praetorian Guards transferred from all over the country followed this banner and rushed forward without hesitation. The Praetorian Guard soldiers were tired and emaciated, but no one stopped.
Xu Yifan returned to Anzhou, and he once commanded Minfu to rendezvous with him and resupply on land. And Xu Yifan was under that banner, the same tired and haggard, marching with the soldiers with a rifle on his back, and when he turned around to say goodbye, he just smiled at him faintly.
It is said that on the Anzhou front, he held the banner and rushed to the position of the Yue army at the forefront, with an unbreakable iron stream behind him.
Xu Yifan's arrogance, he is not without slander, but Xu Yifan has always been generous and delegated power to him, and he also repays all the diligence and talent of a bureaucrat surnamed in affairs. Since he was semi-forced to set foot in North Korea, he has never been optimistic about the future of this lone army, but in the past two years, this lone army has become stronger and stronger, and even became the patron saint of this country, pulling luck back from the bottom!
What is it that supports Xu Yifan to always fight to the end with his head held high?
Watching coldly from the side, Tang Shaoyi always felt that Xu Yifan was almost paranoid about what he was believing, and what he wanted to grasp and set off. Could it be that this is the luck in Zhang Peilun's mouth, the luck of a country's rise?
The general trend of the world is really turned over by him like this? Or did he know from the very beginning that a country's luck was going to rise, and what was this luck?
He was in a trance and somewhat understood, but more still couldn't figure it out. Xu Yifan's face, which always smiled badly and often played scoundrels and idiots, was mixed with the vision and became a mess. But the voice of Xu Dashuai, which was getting louder and louder, was so clear.
He walked slowly, but he got off the gangplank and put his feet on land.
The earth was solid, which actually made Tang Shaoyi's tears roll in his eyes. To say that this passage is in Pyongyang, and these people are not afraid of it, it is false. Fighting in a foreign country, their hearts are always empty, not to mention how much North Korean blood they have on their hands, although those North Korean people are tame, no one knows what kind of eyes those North Koreans look at when they turn around!
It's been two years since I went to China...... Two whole years of wind, frost and sword! Following Xu Yifan, this heart has never been steady, Nanyang opened fire, North Korea killed people, Dongxue Party was in chaos, Seoul was on fire, Ye Zhichao was pressing, and the army invaded on a large scale...... Who the fuck has slept for the past two years, who is the grandson! But after all, they came back with their heads held high!
As soon as his legs went limp, he knelt down and made a move that he hadn't expected to do.
Tang Shaoyi, who has been promoted in the First Sino-Japanese War, and is now a political envoy and has actually awarded Su Song Taidao, is wearing an official uniform, and when he first set foot on the land again, he knelt down and kissed the land in front of him deeply! Thanks to Tang Shaoyi's education and upbringing, if there were a different person, maybe he would kneel there and cry!
The cheers stopped abruptly, and everyone looked at Tang Shaoyi's too deviant move in a daze. Even the customs officers with horse sticks stood solemnly.
Tang Shaoyi jumped up suddenly, opened his voice and shouted with all his vitality: "Lord Xu asked me to bring a message to my fathers and elders, he and the Praetorian Guards will always protect this land!" ”
On the ship, Zhang Peilun raised his head with his hands down, there were tears in his eyes, and he whispered to himself: "How good would it be if I died in the tail of the horse?" ”
The characters in the two places looked at the place with their own thoughts, and they were both silent. Old man Han Zhongping threw off the binoculars in his hand and strode downstairs. But Sheng Xuanhuai shook his head with a wry smile: "It seems that there is nothing to talk about with Zhang Youqiao, this Xu Yifan is not Li Zhongtang!" Follow this master, either glory and wealth, or a catastrophe will never be recovered......" He looked back at the people of Beiyang who were already stupid, and said with a wry smile: "Everyone, choose for yourself!" ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In southern Liaoning, Xu Yifan sneezed violently, followed by seven or eight, and while sitting there, he began to scold: "Who the fuck scolds me behind my back!" ”
There was silence below, and in the military tent, everyone watched Xu Yifan rubbing his nose there. The commanders of the various armies gathered together. The camps in southern Liaoning have been deployed on the entire southwest line of Niuzhuang, and have established contact with the sentry posts of the Yue army. Recently, the good news has been coming, Xu Yifan has given up the position of General Fengtian again, and the biggest worry of the big guys is gone. It's the moment when you're gearing up to fight it. Although Xu Yifan can maintain his handsome demeanor for at most two or three hours a day, he doesn't know what he is doing with his arms shaking at other times, and all military affairs are taken care of by the cold Li Junmen under his command. But none of the people present dared to despise Xu Yifan.
You must know that all the favorable situations at the moment, the situation in which the army with complex factions is bent on preparing for a death war, and even the situation where foreign devils are forced to support the Qing Dynasty, are all snatched by this Xu Dashuai!
Everyone knows that if you completely win the battle in front of you, counterattack Lushun Jinzhou succeeds, and drive the second army of the devil to the sea. Xu Yifan's position can no longer be shaken, with the strength that the court now has, in addition to having a title as a monarch and minister, no other means can defeat this Haidong Xu Shuai. Even if he arrives in Liangjiang, he is still the identity of the king of Liangjiang. Let's see what the future holds. Everyone has been in the bag for a long time, Xu Yifan has prepared all the conditions for winning the battle, and this time he will be pulled down. What happens in the future, that's something that the elders of the capital should worry about.
He played treasure on it, and the big guy didn't see it. Li Yunzong still couldn't stand it anymore, and stepped forward: "Marshal, all armies have been prepared, please issue a military order!" ”
Xu Yifan squinted at him, could he not know that this was the final battle of this Jiawu Dynasty? The great powers want East Asia to return to calm as soon as possible, and the little devils are now relying on a little false fire to carry it. They don't have the strength to survive two atomic bombs fifty years later. The Second Army of the Qing Dynasty was defeated, and Xiao Yue had to step down if he didn't want to. He can reap the benefits of fame and go to Liangjiang to listen to the tune and not listen to the announcement, and watch the waves and clouds disappear.
That's another battle.
He plucked out his ears and asked lazily, "Big guy, are you ready?" If you still have any concerns, let's say it now, everyone is fine, and if you talk nonsense when you fight, my temper is not very good......"
With a bang, all the generals stood up, raised their hands and flat chests, and their sabers and spurs clanged: "I am willing to die for the handsome!" ”
