"At the first day of the year, the world is in turmoil.

The Japanese invaders called the army and the east, 100,000 violent divisions, 100 iron armor, floating in the sea. Its fierceness is only seen in the two hundred years of the dynasty!

The division was divided into land and sea, the wolf ran suddenly, only a few months before and after, the land division lost Ye Zhichao, Zuo Guigui, Wei Rugui, Feng Sheng'a, Lushun seven general soldiers. There are countless troops in Weihai! Beiyang Sailor, since sinking Weihai, who doesn't say this sincere autumn of danger and chaos?

Xingguo Dynasty is deeply benevolent and Houze, and Xu Yifan, the governor of Chenjiang, turned to the north and south, and went thousands of miles to help. The Japanese people such as Choshan County, Kawashang, and Dashan are called generals, and those who are called lieutenant generals have several enemy chiefs. Haojie died in a hundred battles, and the heroic soul never returned. The fortunes of the country do not fall, it really depends on this!

The ministers overcame Lushun and revitalized the brigade to the south, hoping to raise this strong army for the country, live in the place, refresh and improve, praise the imperial court, and rejuvenate the country. The imperial court did not regard the Japanese rebellion as its own, and entrusted the prince's military aircraft foreman Shi Duo to preside over the peace talks. I really hope that this generation will receive the grace of the country, between the soothing, determining, and the kindness and righteousness. The Japanese people were shocked by the prestige of our dynasty and felt the righteousness of our dynasty. Invite the vassals, above the East China Sea, since then a hundred years, the sea will not raise waves!

However, the Shiduo villain, who has power in it, does not know how to give it to the Japanese privately, and dares to make a secret covenant. Cutting off our vassal to Korea, promising 8 million taels of people's fat and people's ointment, he actually invited the Japanese people to march north to Pyongyang with the remnants of the army, and destroy the soldiers left behind by our Janissaries as soldiers on the border of the country!

There is also the Fengtian general Yiketang A's department, and the Shiduo generation, intending to use the army of the Qing Dynasty to cooperate with the Japanese division, the north and the south, and do this great rebellion! This generation can cut off Korea, and can kill such a loyal and brave army as the Praetorian Guard. However, the country is up and down, why can't it be sold by this generation? The land of Longxing in the northeast, since then the door has been wide open, if Shi Duo, Yi Ke Tang A and other generations have any chance to conspire with the Japanese Kou, then the land of Manchuria will no longer be the owner of my Qing Dynasty! I can't bear to say it, I'm afraid it's more than that!

Heaven said that such a secret agreement was signed on December 30, the 20th year of Guangxu, at the General Administration of Customs in Tianjin, the Qing Dynasty! The text of the secret agreement, which has been secretly sent to the ministers by loyal and righteous people, is written in black and white, and the ambitions of Shi Duo and other generations of wolves are heartbreaking!

This generation has the heart of betraying the country and seeking glory, and we are strong men, how can we not rise up and do our relatives! The minister is not talented, only to defend the great cause of the country, do not do anything after the people, wave the army to the north and again, has entered the forced Lushun, the execution of Yiketanga, and the division of troops into four advances, the whole country to the northeast, but also want to overcome the remnants of the Japanese army south of North Korea, and vow not to wear a day with the Japanese division!

The world is the world of the court, the world of scholars, and the world of the people. If the national thief is stubborn, the world can rise up and condemn it! The minister is not sensitive, and he is willing to be the forerunner. If the Praetorian Guard does not go, the world will be safe and sound! Looking at the world's loyal and heroic warriors, they rise with Xu!

I only hope that the imperial court, quickly kill the first priest to thank the world, and the generation of Iketanga will not be without trivial merit, or he can borrow his death. In addition to the annihilation, the whole army will be armed, and then the Japanese will win a decisive victory between the white mountains and black waters! If the foreign enemy and the thief do not go, the drums of the ministers will not stop! Chen Xu Yifan led the Praetorian Guard with 80,000 athletes, and hereby electrified the world! A piece of loyalty, reaching the court! ”

It was said that the twenty years of Guangxu had been turned over with difficulty, and the people who kept the New Year with a little tiredness of the New Year opened the door to prepare to greet the New Year and say some auspicious words, but I didn't expect Xu Yifan's telegram in Liangjiang to shock everyone in the world!

The Qing Times has set up printing points in Tianjin, Wuhan, and Guangzhou, and hundreds of thousands of silver have been smashed to buy equipment, and the people who prepared it are waiting for this day! In the past few days, the people of the Qing Times in these cities have slept in their special rooms at the telegraph office, waiting for a long telegram from Jiangning to take pictures, and then typesetting and printing all night. Before dawn, the people who delivered the newspapers stepped on the thick crumbs of firecrackers on the ground to deliver the Daqing Times to the subscribers.

Most of the subscribers to the Daqing Times are local officials, scholars, businessmen, and students who are interested in current affairs. Even more simply the local governor, since the First Sino-Japanese War, has closely followed the every move of Xu Yifan of Liangjiang. As soon as the morning dawned, everyone saw the first day of the twenty-first day of the Qing Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty, which seemed to be steaming, and saw Xu Yifan's call! I don't know how many people suddenly put on their clothes and got up, ran to the telegraph office to contact around, and asked about the news of Xu Yifan's claim that he had occupied southern Liaoning and disarmed the Jilin training army was accurate. The Governor's Yamen was originally sealed for the New Year, but on the first day of the new year, the Governor's Yamen was in a commotion like a church! All kinds of people shuttle back and forth, including officials, curtains, and people with hearts. True or false news is flying all over the world, and everyone is waiting for the final result.

If the imperial court really signed this secret treaty - this is very likely, the local people who are concerned about the situation at this time, who does not know that the great enemy of the imperial court is not Yue Ben, but this Xu Yifan! The signing of the secret treaty to solve the bias of Xu Yifan's division in North Korea can deal a great blow to Xu Yifan's undefeated prestige. At that time, even if this secret agreement is revealed to the world, everyone will not still look at it. Although it makes the teeth of the hot-blooded people cold, it makes the centrifugal tendency of the place even worse. But at least breathe a sigh of relief, the imperial court is now only looking at the present! Xu Yifan's destruction of the Eight Banners in Liangjiang was really true, and he stabbed it in the waist eye that made the court crazy! In order to overwhelm Xu Yifan, of course they can do whatever it takes!

But Xu Yifan took the lead in this game. Suddenly, the division went north again, and solved the Iketang Asuo in southern Liaoning, and the North Korean division suddenly had a backing behind it, saying that this was a new defeat, and it was good to be able to keep the territory of South Korea, but he still wanted to go north to deal with Xu Yifan? Xu Yifan went to work in shogi, and more importantly, Xu Yifan completely occupied the name of righteousness, and the court became a place where everyone shouted and beaten, how could this country be sold casually? Now Xu Yifan is in the north and south, occupying the land of wealth in the south, and choking the throat of Yanjing in the north. The imperial court was out of troops for a while. At this time, what Xu Yifan had to do was to wait for the local governors to express their stance - especially the southern governors. As long as the momentum is complete, tidy up the interior again, and reach an agreement with the local powerful factions who are willing to take refuge, at that time, it is the time for Xu Yifan to advance from the north to the south and knock on the weight of the championship!

In this state, how should everyone behave in the end, and how should this team stand in the end? How much did Xu Yifan give them a hole to let them work?

Up and down the locality, the coastal provinces that were shocked for a while, the coastal provinces where the atmosphere was opened, and the two lakes were the waist of the world. This tide is suddenly churning, everyone is waiting, guessing, calculating, thinking about how to choose!

Not only these local powerhouses, but even foreign powers were shocked by Xu Yifan's actions. The slow, sluggish, and cowardly empire of the Qing Dynasty still has such an emerging force with action! Xu Yifan's defeat in this army has already made people lose their glasses. But he went to Liangjiang in a blink of an eye, and in the assessment of the great powers, this force was a strengthened version of the ambitious Li Hongzhang, and it was also a restless factor in this old empire. This Xu Yifan must have concentrated all his strength in the infighting. What the great powers needed now was the stability of the Qing Empire, the strength to counterbalance Russia's expansion in the Far East. Since Xu Yifan was a factor of instability, the great powers turned to consider using the defeated Yuanben. And, in accordance with the customary surname of its policy, it continued to show support for the center of the Qing Empire. For a time, they did not have the will to deal with Xu Yifan, but focused their energy on quickly ending the war and re-arranging the main task of containing Russian forces in Northeast Asia.

What they didn't expect was that Xu Yifan actually waved his army north again, solved Iktanga at once, and was likely to occupy the entire Manchuria and North Korea, and showed a strong will to defend this place! This is a powerful force that has defeated most of the army in this book!

What's more, Xu Yifan's move has completely messed up their arrangement. It is impossible to share the victory or defeat with Xu Yifan. They will not allow Yu Ben and Xu Yifan to fight another battle in Northeast Asia, which is a critical place, to give Russia an opportunity to take advantage of.

The plan has been completely disrupted, what to do, how to choose?

It has to be said that the movements of the great powers were much faster, and at noon on the first day of the Lunar New Year, their warships went north from the Tianjin drum wheel and went straight to Lushun to check what was going on. Rao is like this, and if he wants to get the news, it will be after the early hours of tomorrow morning.

All kinds of wait-and-see speculation did not make everyone wait long, and when the first day of the Lunar New Year was about to be darkened, the second issue of the Daqing Times came out again, and then the local telegraph bureaus also waited for the telegram from Lushun! The leader of the payment is the president of the first town of the Praetorian Guard, Zhang Xuzhou, the governor of Shaanxi, and the telegram means that the Praetorian Guards are up and down, and they are unjustly innocent, and they are actually killed by villains! 20,000 athletes went north to save this crisis for the world, please be on top, and you must give the Praetorian Guard an explanation! The 20,000 soldiers of the Praetorian Guard, when the Japanese have not retreated, will protect this northeastern land for the Qing Dynasty!

As soon as Lushun's power came, it was confirmed that Xu Yifan really made such a big move at once, and it shocked the world at once! The possible surname of his title is already too big to ignore!

I don't know how many curtain guests are giving advice to the proprietors who are governors everywhere, at this time, there should be something to say! can stand a little in front of Xu Yifan! Some governors slapped the table and cursed, and immediately asked the curtain friends to roll up and get out. Some governors sighed, they have no friendship with Xu Yifan! How do you want to find a way? He didn't open the plate again! Some governors were dumbfounded and did not say a word, and did not make any statement. There are all kinds of performances, but one thing is common, on the first day of the twenty-first year of Guangxu, it was because of Xu Yifan, but it was such a turbulent scene!

Xu Yifan's movements were step by step, and when it was about midnight in the evening, a telegram to the governors of various places was sent again. The people who had been waiting all night immediately sent the telegrams to the desks of the governors, who were also unable to sleep.

Xu Yifan's plate is opened, and the world is cooperating! He moved his troops north, and it was still a national war. This expense cannot be borne by him alone, and all provinces must pay for it! The plate was three million taels at the top, and four or five hundred thousand at the smallest. Xu Yifan used this means to force the governor of the world to start choosing sides!

Is this the best choice? Even though Xu Yifan now has an aggressive momentum, it has created an overall situation of reversal. Those guys in Yanjing City are also looking less and less like people. Now in Yanjing City, the orphans and widows don't know how to hug their heads and cry!

But in this world, it's about to change the dynasty? Everyone has been a Manchu courtier for more than 200 years, and it really takes courage to break up. And is this Xu Yifan's strength enough?

It's painful to make such a choice! The happiest are still those governors who are determined to be loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty, especially the bannerman governors, even if they don't have the strength to challenge Xu Yifan's Praetorian Guards, the little defense camp in their respective provinces is not enough for 80,000 Praetorian Guards. But you can also make up your mind, you Xu Yifan has changed the sky, Lao Tzu will step down, even if you want Lao Tzu to be martyred, just two words, teach! On the contrary, they didn't care so much, when they saw this last telegram of the world's assistance, they simply announced that everyone was dispersed, it was time for the New Year, it was time to collect money and grain, and it was time to get rich and marry a concubine and go about their own business, what will happen to Xu Yifan and the court in the future, so much fucking!

But everyone who knows the situation knows that with Xu Yifan's army going north to southern Liaoning. The world has completely changed............ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ the overall situation is turbulent, and the people in the situation have their own paths.

In the past to the lively to the extraordinary Qing Dynasty, the Minister of the Peace Talks, the Minister of the Military Aircraft of Prince Li, Shi Duo, the Minister of the Imperial Mission, was already in front of the door, and in a blink of an eye, it was already a crowd. There are so many attachés, but until noon, more than half of them have already scattered for a reason. The door is deeply locked, and on the wall of the door, there are posters everywhere, all of which are scolding Shiduo for betraying the country and seeking glory. or poetry or fu, if you can stand and appreciate it, you can see the literary brilliance in it.

A team of defense battalions transferred here to maintain order did not have this kind of Yixing, and everyone scolded their mothers for the New Year.

"Fuck, white-nosed annihilator, it's not wrong to be a dog's head, and we want to come and see the doorman! I can't even look at a little money! ”

"You can't take money if you give it! This guy, half of his body has already crossed the Nai He Bridge, this kind of famous person in the Hades book, if you give you money, it will also turn to ashes when it encounters water, and it is all dark money! ”

"Let's see, are there really so many annihilators? Our Beiyang Li Zhongtang has stepped down, and now it is this priest again......... The gas is exhausted, it's time to change the dynasty! ”

"Salty and eat radish, you can be light-hearted............ Where are you not a soldier and eat ............?"

When the soldiers were chatting with great interest, they were shrinking their heads and scolding the street, when they saw a half-old carriage coming slowly, and when they arrived at the door, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the coachman carried a lantern, and waited to help down a young scholar in a green shirt and a small hat and a sheepskin shoulder, he frowned and looked at the closed door, and said that the high-spirited doorman had long disappeared.

Seeing the scholar standing there, the soldiers of the defense battalion surrounded him suspiciously, and before they could ask questions, the scholar had already spoken: "I am Tan Sitong, I have come to see Lord Shidor, who can pass it on?" ”

"You're Lord Tan?" Folk rumors are often much more colorful than official news. This incident happened early this morning, and in the evening it has become a pair of ministers who talk about peace, Shi Duo is Tan Si is loyal, in order to be able to sign this peace treaty, Shi Duo has been so oppressed that Lord Tan is about to lose his official position, and there are even Japanese people who assassinate Lord Tan several times, until today, it has been reversed! The story, there are annihilators and loyal ministers, so it's lively, isn't it?

The soldier's eyes widened and he looked at Tan Sitong carefully, as if he wanted to see where he was different from ordinary people. A soldier laughed and said, "Where do you want to spread the word!" The doorman has already slipped away and escaped, my lord, let's help you smash the door open! ………… My lord, are these annihilators chopping or hanging? ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ deep mansion compound, Shi Duo sat alone in the study in the dark, and many people in the house ran away, only some servants remained. The day had changed so strangely that it seemed that Shi Duo hadn't woken up at this time. In the study, there was wine and food, but it was a little cold, and he slowly poured himself a drink over there, and from time to time he slapped his legs and laughed twice.

When he was shaking his head and shaking his head, he heard an old servant whispering outside the door: "Master, Lord Tan is here to worship ......."

Shi Duo was stunned for a moment, and greeted with a smile: "Resurrection, come in, come in!" It's rare that you still want to get me! ”

Tan Sitong walked in slowly, stood there but didn't sit down, just looked deeply at Shiduo.

"What's going on?" Shiduo asked with a smile as he raised his glass.

Tan Sitong straightened up and said proudly: "My lord is a kind person, Tan Mou has no plans for the country's golden ou, and he made this decision to tell Xu Yifan about the peace treaty here." This is righteousness, and it cannot be abolished. However, it is a private regret to pour adults into such a situation, and I have to come to ask the adults for their guilt! ”

Shi Duo was stunned there, and suddenly laughed loudly, laughing so much that tears came out: "Resurrection, sit, sit!" You're a kind person, too! If you just don't say it, Xu Yifan won't be able to touch the news here? Do you know, my old master of pen and ink disappeared last night, and he copied a copy of the peace treaty and left! What you're for, I know very well. Honestly, I thank you for getting me out of this situation! Who still wants to be the minister of this military aircraft foreman? I thought, after I go back, I will take my son and grandson to my own Zhuangzi to go to school and farm, and then the family will have no property or anything - Xu Yifan will not kill people indiscriminately, and when the time comes, there will be nothing left, and we will still be able to have a job! You're not harming me, you're saving me! ”

Tan Sitong shook his body, but he didn't expect that Shi Duo could see it like this! He said in a low voice: "Didn't the imperial court come to the court and ask the Lord to return to Beijing to be investigated?" ”

Shi Duo smiled and waved his hand: "If the imperial court had the courage to kill people, it would not have fallen to this point............ The third child can't die, who doesn't understand that I am the top tank, kill me, and I am not afraid of the cold heart of the flag people? Aren't you afraid of the cold heart of the loyal minister? It's just a big loss of office, even if I don't lose my office, I will definitely not do it, I really can't do anything, I can't help! ”

He leaned towards Tan Sitong and said with a smile: "Now our Houdang is completely stinky, and the upper side should understand that we can't deal with Xu Yifan!" If you want to cheer up, you newcomers have to be used. Resurrection, if you pass the news here to Xu Yifan, you may not have the intention of borrowing power, right? ”

Tan Sitong's body was shocked when he said this, and he looked at Shi Duo fixedly. On the surface, Shiduo is a cowardly and harmless bureaucratic old man, and he has a bit of the leisure and elegance of the flag man. But he has been up and down in officialdom for so many years, and he can't fight Xu Yifan, but how can he not know about this officialdom!

At this time, Tan Si didn't know how to explain it.

"Although there are personal regrets in Wansheng's move, but if I do it again, I will still do it............" In the end, he just said this lightly.

Sedor's just kept smiling, "When did I say I blamed you?" From beginning to end, the third child of the world is sincerely grateful for your resurrection! But for resurrection, I'll just ask a word. You have to use it a lot, can you save the situation? ”

One sentence put Tan Sitong into a deeper silence, and he didn't know how long it took before he exhaled with difficulty: "............ If Xu Yifan is on the right path, he wins. I'm on the right track, I'm winning. That's all I can reply to later............"

Shi Duo shook his head and smiled bitterly, Tan Sitong's words were hesitant and lingering, how could he not hear it! But at this time, there is no need to ask in detail, the number of qi is like this, and manpower is sometimes overwhelming. But there are always people who are unwilling, so let them be!

He stood up solemnly and arched his hand towards Tan Sitong: "Resurrection, let's count it as a handover!" In the future, I will leave it to you! ”

Tan Sitong also hurriedly stood up and bowed deeply. Shi Duo straightened his waist, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face again: "Resurrection, I haven't seen Xu Yifan much, but I'm curious now, he has turned the overall situation around, what should he do now?" Triumphant, or painstakingly planning to beat the water dogs? ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Xu Yifan was neither complacent, nor did he continue to think hard about his next move. He stayed in the signing room all night, waiting for reactions from all sides, and reviewing the telegrams that were about to be sent. There have already been quite a few calls from the governor to try it, and he has to make up his mind on how to deal with it.

The people who were guarding the signing room came and went, and they were all in full swing to arrange for this important event. From yesterday when I learned the news of the signing of the peace treaty to today, I haven't slept for more than 30 hours, even if I just sit, I'm exhausted, but occasionally when I'm free, I tilt my head and take a nap unconsciously. Everyone looked at Xu Yifan like this, they all relaxed their movements, looked at each other, the big guy's eyes were bloodshot, and those who did great things would inevitably work hard!

Xu Yifan only felt that he was in the clouds and mist, and under his feet were the mountains, rivers and earth, as well as the surging tides. He probably knew in his heart that he was dreaming again, so he relied on a sentence right now, and here he is again!

Although he still understands it in his heart, he is still looking left and right in the dream. The clouds and mist were disturbed, and a thin and haggard middle-aged man, with a beard as black as ink, walked towards him with a smile: "Xu Yifanjun? ”

"It's me! Who are you? ”

Hirofumi Yamaguchi Ito............ Today, I finally saw Xu Jun! ”

Xu Yifan's heart was in a trance, as if he had forgotten that he was dreaming, and looked at this first person with determination, and Ito Hirofumi had a smile on his face, and seemed to be in an extremely happy mood.

"What are you laughing at?"

"How can I be unhappy that I can get rid of all the troubles of the world?" Ito Hirobumi finished speaking with a smile, and pointed to his feet with his hand: "Xu Jun, this is the ............ of the land of Asia"

Xu Yifan looked down, his eyes pierced through the clouds and fog, only looking at the winding coastline, looking at the undulating mountains and rivers, and looking at the vast East Asian land. This land faces the boundless Pacific Ocean, and how many heroes and legends have been born!

“………… The dream of a contemptible person's life is to hold this land in his hands, but now ............" Ito Hirofumi shook his head and looked at Xu Yifan with a smile: "I'll leave it to you, Xu Jun, please do better than me!" ”

Xu Yifan looked at the ground under his feet stupidly, and seemed to understand it again in his heart, and raised his head and asked, "Aren't I dreaming?" In the dream, the two of us said that we had mastered Asia or something, but it didn't really become a dream! ”

Hirobumi Ito laughed: "You and I are both heroes of a generation, whether they appear or disappear, they are not ignorant, what's so strange about this?" He took out his pocket watch and looked at it: "It's time, it's time to go............ Xu Jun, your opponent is one less! ”

Xu Yifan stretched out his hand to grab him, but Ito Hirofumi smiled and retreated into the void.

The people in the signing room looked at Xu Yifan and woke up suddenly, his eyes were dumbfounded, and he looked ahead. On the top of the brain, a layer of fine sweat.

"Dashuai, what's wrong?"

Xu Yifan shook his head and replied in a low voice: "It's nothing, it's just that you lost a good opponent............ Probably. He stood up and stretched: "It's work, it's work, it's not over yet!" ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tianjin, called the concession. It is said that the base of the peace talks is the residence.

The attaché of the delegation sat downstairs in the dark. Today's day's accident actually caused them to fall from the clouds all the way to the ground!

If this luck is not irretrievably lost, then the chance has become extremely slim.

Tou Shan Man was also among the attachés, and during the peace talks, he ran to contact and find out the inside story of the Qing Fang, and he had done his best. No one expected that Xu Yifan's strange soldiers would be prominent, and everything would be completely turned upside down! Xu Yifan entrenched southern Liaoning and controlled North Korea, it is conceivable that he would never carry out this secret treaty, and the Qing court was likely to overturn the secret treaty that had been signed. This kind of experience has already happened once in the First Sino-Japanese War. And Ben can only watch, the empire is no longer capable of starting a big war!

"Counting the ............ Poor"

"Desperate ............"

In the crowd, a low sigh sounded. Toushan was full of strong spirits: "Gentlemen, don't be discouraged, we still have Your Excellency Ito!" With his wisdom, the empire can still tide over the current difficulties! ”

One sentence seemed to arouse a little morale, and the attachés all raised their heads, Ito Hirobumi is still there, and there is still hope for the empire! A series of news came in the morning, and Ito Hirofumi read them one by one. He didn't have the slightest discoloration expression, just went upstairs indifferently.

His Excellency Ito is still as calm as ever, he must have a way to turn the tables!

Suddenly, the voice of the servant sounded upstairs: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency! ”

Everyone was shocked, led by Tou Shanman, rushed upstairs in three steps and two steps, several servants crowded at the door, everyone was lost and depressed, in Ito Hirobumi's room, the heart-rending shouts continued to come!

Touyama pushed away the servant and rushed into Ito Hirobumi's room, and saw this famous man who was called Ben, the last support, dressed in a clean kimono, sitting there with his back against a soft pillow, with a faint smile on his face, as if he had no regrets.

But it can be clearly seen that there is no sign of life on Ito Hirobumi's body!

Toushan shook his body and knelt heavily on the ground.

"This ............ Lu sank! ”

On the first day of the first month of the 21st year of Guangxu in ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~, Xu Yifan was electrified all over the world, and the world was shocked.

And the prime minister of the empire, Ito Hirobumi, died of illness in Tianjin.

(To be continued)
