“…… In the two hundred and forty years of the dynasty, no soldiers can still fight, the salary has not been extended, the morale of the people is still vigorous, and the country and the dynasty are still talking about peace!

Emperor Xuanzongcheng, during the Daoguang period, Yingyi entered the Yangtze River, cut off the north and south, and the thirteen provinces were all defeated, so Emperor Xuanzong became a last resort before he was appeased.

Emperor Wenzongxian, during the Xianfeng period, Britain and France were both destroyed and landed from Dagu. My Eight Banners strong force Bali Bridge was frustrated, the king of Seng County was unable to return to the sky, and Hongyang made chaos with the southeast, and the Hunan and Huai strong forces were not allowed to transfer north. The mountains and rivers are exhausted, but they have to hunt the Rehe River in the north, so they will take care of the two.

Since Emperor Wenzongxian, our country has greatly revitalized, trying to refresh and train military weapons, which can be described as Zhongxing. Famous ministers and fierce generals, gathered together, honest and well-off. In such a situation, our country resisted the Russians in the north, collected Xinjiang Province in the west, retreated to the Fayi in the south, and Jiashen Ping Dynasty. coincided with the First Sino-Japanese War, although the sea and land were said to be a big setback, the naval division was destroyed, Lushun fell, Dagu was bombed, and southern Liaoning was defeated. However, it is by no means exhausted!

The minister moved to North Korea and returned to the division thousands of miles, and there were still 20,000 elite soldiers. Liaoxi left near, clean up the embers, Yi Army, Jilin Lianjun and other departments, there are also 30,000. Grain, grass, equipment and ammunition are sufficient, there are only 20,000 Japanese in southern Liaoning, and they are trying to counterattack, and the sincere people are rising, and the yellow boy and white head in the field also have the heart to repay the country's shame.

Looking at the world, although Weihai is lost, there are still 30,000 embers of the Songwu Army and the Gongsui Army in Shandong. There are more than 20 provinces in the country, all of which are called complete, with an army of 100,000 people, day and night, and the king of starry nights. The food and salary are endlessly relieved to go to the battlefield, and everyone has the same hatred for the enemy. Those who have this heart, those who have this intention, are not Qin Huihe!

The world has fallen, the ministers have not surrendered, and the Japanese people are also at a time when the mountains and rivers are exhausted and it is difficult to continue. At the last moment, the minister is one person, and he also fights to the end! The Japanese people retreated to the Chinese fence, the land of China Shenzhou, without smelling a trace of fishy smell, then the courtier's dialect and!

The generals of Liaoxi, since Song Qing, Yi Ketang, Li Yunzong, Nie Shicheng, Xu Bangdao, and Zhao Huaiye, all have the same heart as their ministers, and vow to fight hard and turn the tide again. I have to play my emperor, my queen mother, and I will hear it to the public. The head can be broken, the blood can flow, my Liaoxi army, don't come down!

Heaven learns from it! ”

Above the middle hall of the Yamen of the Jinzhou Banner Camp, there was a full house, and they all listened to Xu Yifan's telegram where he was playing the imperial court and electrifying the world by the way.

By Xu Yifan's side, Li Yunzong and Nie Shicheng looked at each other, and sat straight with their knees in their hands. And the next Song Qing and the generals of Yiketang A, all of them listened with strange expressions. It was like crawling with ants all over his body, twisting endlessly, especially Iktanga, a manchurian general, whose face was blue and white.

Xu Yifan's telegram kept saying that I was in the Qing Dynasty and our country, but in front of it, it can be regarded as revealing the face of the Qing Dynasty, and the two surrenders and humiliation have come out. The meaning of sarcasm could not be clearer. Speaking of great rebellion, it is really enough to see, but he is standing on the right side again, and he also puts on a posture of a brave and loyal loyal minister who does not care about reputation and the court's heart. Speaking of this kind of cheap and obedient appearance, I really want people to slap him in the face, but the situation is stronger than people, what else is there to say?

Now that Xu Yifan has been electrified all over the world, he wants to tie them up to be Song Wumu and Yike Tang Wumu...... This big hat is put on their heads, and they can't help but say, the world has been scratched because of Xu Yifan's undescended message, this national hero, they can't push it even if they want to!

Thinking about Yanjing, I can't tell what I am shocked and scared and angry like now.

Xu Yifan proudly read his telegram and didn't give up, and picked up a stack of callbacks from all over the world and continued to read it, full of energy.

“…… Wu Dazheng, the governor of Hunan, sent a telegram to the minister of the general affairs office of the Qincha Battalion of the Liaonan Army, and when he heard this telegram, Sanxiang was moved. Whoever has a heart of man will have the same enmity with you. Haidong Xu Shuai does not fall, and the children of Sanxiang do not descend! Although it is necessary to suppress the great plan, but in the recent times, the scholars also have to discuss the situation, and the holy monarch and the scholars have the intention of ruling the world together. This is the case with the Westerners' Council. Now that the Holy Monarch is above, the Queen Mother is wise, and she will have to bow down to public opinion...... Hunan has collected 20,000 old Hunan battalions, all of whom are the sons and daughters of the ministers who pacified the Hongyang Rebellion, and are about to take up the road and fight together with the adults, and Hunan has also relieved 150,000 taels of gold to help the army......

…… Liu Kun, the governor of Liangjiang, sent a telegram to the minister of the general office of the Qincha camp of the Liaonan army, and he was inexplicably excited when he heard the electricity. Above the court, there will be a group of small people to cover the saints, the saints will cheer up, and there will be the power of thunder and wrath! Liangjiang also has tens of thousands of soldiers, and in addition to taking care of the fence, they will also organize their troops to the north. The military is still waiting for the time to be issued, but the military needs cannot be delayed, and Liu will release 170,000 yuan of gold for the support of the armies in western Liaoning. The country is in danger, but the people who do not descend, how can they stop Haidong Xu Shuai?

…… Sheng Xuanhuai, the superintendent of Zhilijin Customs and Zhilijin Customs, sent a telegram to Lord Xu of Liaonan Qincha, Beiyang was frustrated, the sailor sank himself, and the pain in the world was deep. However, if I am handsome, I will be electrified, and people's hearts will be like a tide! The post is subordinate to Beiyang, and it is divided into military needs. If I don't surrender, the military expenses allocated by the Tianjin Customs should continue to receive military supplies. The firearms and medicines stored by the Tianjin Machinery Bureau should also be supplied in a steady stream, and if they are not good, they should be self-cut to thank the world. If I am handsome, if necessary, once I telegraph, Beiyang Jiji, resolutely report, I am handsome Liaonan good news!

…… Governor of Hubei......

…… Governor of Liangguang ......"

The telegram was stacked thickly, and after Xu Yifan read it, his mouth was dry and his voice was hoarse. While reading, he secretly looked at the expressions of the people below.

The repercussions caused by him rolling up such a trend were, to be honest, beyond his expectations. But when I think about it, I am relieved. Since the Hongyang Rebellion, the Qing Dynasty has been a local power, and the central power is light. If it weren't for the fact that the Hongyang Rebellion was so badly damaged, all the officers who led the troops to fight would have a home, plus Zeng Guofan and other members of the world who had the right to relieve themselves of the army, the end of the Qing Dynasty would have been out of control. Later, the center of the imperial court continued to divide and balance the local forces, and barely maintained a unified situation.

At the time of the first noon, the only forces that could disobey the orders of the center internally and shout at the strong enemy externally were Li Hongzhang and Xu Yifan. Li Hongzhang is because the Beiyang power is too great, and he has the power to have soldiers. Later generations originally commented that the First Sino-Japanese War was the war between Yuben and Li Hongzhang. But Li Hongzhang chose to make a name for the end of the Qing Dynasty and continue to be the protector of the Qing Dynasty.

And his current status of Xu Yifan is a real victory, and the imperial court has never had a way to check and balance him, only relying on Beiyang to oppress and contain him. The local powerful factions, to be honest, are the same thing about the central authority, and it is their real power and economic interests as governors that they have to protect - otherwise for whom is the aftermath of each province opened? It's not for the sake of the local governors to be able to conveniently collect and self-finance. The governors of all places are all long-term towns, and they are hugged, and their subordinates are settled, so they ask to go. The greater the power of the central government, the smaller the land they have left for themselves. There must always be a banner character to maintain the position of the local governor as a half-read.

In the past, this person was Li Hongzhang, Yanjing forced the palace, and Jiawu sued for peace, seeing that this signboard was about to be shouted by everyone, and now Xu Yifan has changed himself and become their banner!

In addition, the horizons of various places have been opened, and the people's wisdom has gradually become enlightened, and they feel extremely humiliated for the first day of peace.

If Xu Yifan was a little stubborn when he shouted that he didn't fall, then now he feels a little fluttering.

Even Sheng Xuanhuai, the god of wealth in Beiyang, has a keen sense of smell and is ready to change the door - Li Hongzhang's brand is smashed, how can this group in Beiyang still be maintained! His current prestige and status of Xu Yifan can be imagined!

Xu Yifan triumphantly read all the telegrams at hand, and then looked at the generals below with a villainous look: "Brothers...... How do you say that? It's called a lot of help! That's right, I, Xu Yifan, acted against the will of the imperial court, and I want to fight in this land of southern Liaoning! Until you drive the devil out into the sea! I'm not reluctant to be a big guy, I'm willing to do it with my brother, welcome. If you don't like it, send it off! ”

Several people looked at each other with gloomy faces, and they all scolded their mothers in their hearts. Why didn't you Xu Yifan say this earlier? After cutting off Feng Sheng's head, Xu Yifan ordered the Yi army to extend the defense line to the northeast and establish contact with the Praetorian Guards in the Liaoyang area. The officers and soldiers of the two battalions of the Praetorian Guard were transferred over, and they even opened the silver box, and took out 150,000 taels of silver, regardless of the officers and soldiers, and gave them a salary of five taels.

The telegram from the court was all pinched in his hand, and he didn't tell them that the court was ready to negotiate peace, so he tied the big guys together without saying a word, and shouted to the whole world, let's not surrender!

The soldiers at the bottom were shocked by the prestige of Xu Yifan's Qincha who killed Fengsheng Ah as soon as he arrived, and he was even more grateful for his anger for the big guys, plus the meeting was paid, the military uniform was neat, and the well-equipped Praetorian Guards shook in front of them again, everyone was convinced, waiting for dispatch. The above commanders, let's not talk about the current situation, when it comes to their hearts, who is willing to surrender to the devil? Who is not ashamed to hear Xu Yifan's belated court peace rest?

Several of the original Beiyang generals who felt very good about strength, such as Xu Bangdao and Zhao Huaiye, immediately stood up straight, and touched their riding boots: "What else do you say?" Follow Lord Xu to the end! Our battalion leader, listen to the dispatch of the adults, point to where to fight, there is no second word! ”

Both of them were defeated generals, and they were defeated all the way from Lushun, and each of them had a few soldiers left. Li Hongzhang can't count on it now, so it is better to change his backer quickly.

Xu Yifan raised his hand with a smile: "Okay, good!" The ordnance left over from the dismissed Fengsheng Asheng character horse infantry training army, you should supplement and adjust it first, wait for the rectification to be completed, and be ready to counterattack at any time! ”

"Wow!" The two of them suddenly hit the ground and looked at each other again. And he went down in high spirits.

Xu Yifan snorted his waist on the chair, and he was a send-off, according to his current prestige and status, he was already doubly polite. When he turned his head again, he was already pretending to be careless and staring at Song Qing and Yi Ketanga. Even Li Yunzong and Nie Shicheng's eyes turned, and Leng Deng looked at the two of them.

Iktanga still bowed his head and said nothing, but Song Qing slowly raised his head, and his tone was calm: "Lord Xu, the situation is like this, what else to say, as long as you don't take us to Yanjing......"

This sentence was said slowly, stabbing Xu Yifan is eyelids jumped, Nie Shicheng's sweat came down, and Iktang'a, who bowed his head, was even more unbearable, and his body almost fell under the chair in a flash!

Song Qing, the old Qiu Ba, is really old and spicy. These are just words that turn in people's minds, and he actually said it like this!

Song Qing didn't notice the gaze of others, just took off his big hat and slowly stroked his sparse white hair: "...... Fight devils, I don't have a word, Grangetai, my old man should die. I'm sorry for so many brothers! As long as I keep going east, keep fighting the devils, where you Lord Xu point, I will die there...... But if Lord Xu has no arms and wants to take us south, the old man is seventy-four this year, and it is really too late to change the master, so he can only use this head to repay the court...... Mark this to go down, reorganize the army, and wait for Lord Xu's military order at any time...... Anyway, let's just not drop it......"

After saying that, he slowly put the big hat on his head, hit Xu Yifan with a thousand standards, sighed deeply, and staggered out. And only Iktanga was left to sit there, sweating like rain.

Song Qing's words revealed all the undercurrents in everyone's hearts and pointed directly to everyone's hearts.

You Xu Yifan did this, in addition to fighting to the death with Yueben, what do you want? This is also the mind of the whole world. Don't look at the governors, this telegram should be so lively. The people and scholars can praise Xu Yifan's loyalty to the country with one mind, his blood surname is unparalleled, and he can't wait to fight with Xu Yifan.

The real people in the field have to figure it out, but they have to analyze. Are you Xu Yifan an imperial party figure, are you ready to help Guangxu rise again with your own maverick, or do you have another embrace and prepare to be the Cao Ying of the Qing Dynasty? As long as the Yue army is defeated, he will be similar to Zeng Guofan's original achievements in quelling the Hongyang Rebellion. At the beginning, Zeng Guofan relieved himself of military power, but what about him?

The analysis of the real intention behind his undescended telegram determines the outcome of the bet placed by the people in the field. determines where they stand. Xu Yifan's unlowered message has already represented that he has jumped into the gambling game of the world, and he is a character who can roll the dice with his own hands!

Iktanga's cold sweat slipped down drop by drop, and he wanted to look up for a moment to show his integrity, but the head was extremely heavy. The room was silent, and the villainous expression on Xu Yifan's face was all put away, and he slowly stood up.

In the tense air, I heard Xu Yifan say lightly: "I won't go to Yanjing......"

In a word, Iktang Aru was pardoned, and he raised his head: "My lord? ”

Xu Yifan's eyes turned to him, his expression was a little strange, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, no one could guess what kind of thoughts were hidden behind his smile.

"Yaoshan, follow me just to fight devils, do you want to do it? Your Jilin training army is 8,000, but I rely on it very much. ”

Iktanga stood up suddenly, and hurriedly expressed his position in a panic, as if he also wanted to leave this breathless place as soon as possible.

"Lord Xu, the court descended a ghost, that is a villain from the court! The emperor and the queen mother will set things right! Fight devils, you will not be subject to the orders of the king, and listen to you under the mark! Jilin training army, my lord, you say a word, we will also rush up to the sea of swords, mountains and fires, and we will definitely share your life and death with the little devil! ”

Xu Yifan smiled faintly and raised a hand: "Okay, go down and rectify the army, if you want anything, I will make it up to you." But the ugly words are in front, if you don't listen to the order, Fengsheng's head is still hanging in Jinzhou City! ”

At this time, Iktang Azhen felt that fighting to the death with the devil was better than thinking crankily here. Immediately said loudly: "My lord, I will wait for your military order when I mark it!" ”

After that, he hurriedly hit a thousand, and he didn't dare to retreat back, as if he was afraid that Xu Yifan would leave him again.

In the lobby, there were only three left: Xu Yifan, Li Yunzong and Nie Shicheng. Li Yunzong's expression did not move, he was still his standard military style, but Nie Shicheng's front was wet, and the sweat he shed just now was no less than that of Yi Ketanga!

Xu Yifan looked at Li Yunzong and asked quietly, "Yunzong, is there a counterattack plan?" Are you sure? When do you think we can put things in order and launch a counteroffensive? ”

Li Yunzong stood up with a straight face, and said loudly with a straight face: "If you go back to your lordship, there will be three more days to rectify the army here, which should be enough." The army is only 20,000, from Lushun to the Liaoxi Corridor, it has grown into a snake, everywhere needs to be prepared and everywhere is not prepared, I have become surrounded on three sides, as long as we fight hard enough here, Liaoyang, the main force of my first town and second town, I am quite sure to break through the long snake formation of the army, Chu Wanli He will never miss the opportunity! ”

Xu Yifan snapped his fingers: "In three days, you can launch a counteroffensive on October 1st?" Damn, National Day...... Let's show it to the world. ”

He said this casually, but everyone who heard it was nervous. This sentence can be regarded as a decision made up by him, a marshal, and it is an official military order, and even Nie Shicheng stood up and said loudly.

Li Yunzong gave Xu Yifan a standard military salute, and Nie Shicheng strode out. No one expected that this cold-hearted and cold-faced standard soldier turned his head and asked before going out: "My lord, you really don't go to Yanjing?" ”

Don't forget, it was Li Yunzong who personally handed over Chu Wanli's share of the request to punish the bannerman!

Xu Yifan was thinking about his thoughts with his hands behind his back, and when he heard this, he turned around and looked at Li Yunzong's zombie face. Maybe Li Yunzong has thousands of waves in his heart, and Xu Yifan's heart is also surging. But the expressions of the two, one expressionless, and the other faint.

“…… What am I going to do? Even if I enter Yanjing one day, it's not that I'm going to go, it's the general trend pushing me to go...... I'm not done yet...... Their path is not yet exhausted...... Look, look......"

With that, he waved his hand and motioned for the two of them to step back and hurry up and do their own thing. Li Yunzong glanced at Xu Yifan deeply, saluted again, and retreated steadily. Nie Shicheng beside him was blue and white for a while, and he couldn't stop sweating outward.

When he walked outside, Nie Shicheng's face was pale and he was about to say goodbye to Li Yunzong and go his own way. Li Yunzong, who usually said that he didn't have much to say among his colleagues, took off his military hat and tucked it under his armpit, looked in the other direction, and stopped Nie Shicheng: "Gongting ......"

Nie Shicheng was stunned, Li Yunzong took the initiative to talk to him, the world is a strange news! Rao is heart was in a mess, and he also stopped: "Master Li? ”

Li Yunzong's gaze never looked at him, and the words that came out of his mouth were also [***]: "Brother Gongting, don't think nonsense...... Do you really think there's any hope over there? Adults are waiting for them to get their way to the end! If you're determined to follow the grown-up, don't think too much about it, follow, watch, wait! ”

Nie Shicheng's face changed miserably, his chest rose and fell violently, and after a while, he smiled: "Let's still think about the war, with these 30,000 defeated soldiers, we have to fight hard and hard, and create opportunities for Liaoyang, it's not easy to make a mistake!" ”

Li Yunzong turned his head and said coldly: "I, Li Yunzong, came to Jinzhou for nothing?" ”

Nie Shicheng laughed, as if he had put aside all the knots in his chest, and said with a smile: "Then let's see you on the battlefield!" Let's see who drives the little devil into the sea first! ”

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Inside the yamen of the Jinzhou Banner Camp, Xu Yifan stood with his hands in his hands for a long time. Pu Yang and they stood outside, and no one dared to disturb him. It's been a long time since I've seen Xu Yifan thinking about things like this.

"Lose its deer, and the world will chase it...... This deer can be regarded as running out. If you want to catch up, you still have one step to go. Unless they're that stupid...... I don't know how long it will take to take this step...... Forget it, after Lao Tzu finished this battle, he should rest for two years, let alone bully men and women to build a harem here, and he didn't take a good breath...... After fighting for half a year, Ah Hua in the left hand and Ah Zhu in the right hand, the poor ones are about to grind out of the cocoon......"

(To be continued)
