A.D. 1** 4th September 17th.

Grange Terrace.

"Defeated! Defeated! "The surrounding battlefield sounded a huge shout like a tsunami, and the hustle and bustle, from the large and small hills, swept all the way to the seaside!

On the first line of Grangei, there are dozens of hills that are not too high, forming the key points of this defensive line. In the middle of more than a month, the Qing court took out the strength to eat milk, and under Guangxu's repeated strict orders, it finally raised more than 200 battalions of field camp heads, gathered troops here, and blocked the way for the second army of the Qing Dynasty to break through here and enter the western Liaoning corridor.

There are more than 200 battalions, more than dozens of general soldiers from different systems, four or five commanders with the rank of commander, and the commanders and deputy commanders of the Eight Banners system. Yi Army, Wu Yi Ming Army, Jilin, Fengtian and other places with flag camps as the main training army, Lushun defeated the army...... There are also troops from Zhili, from Suiyuan, and from all over the country that can be scavenged and mobilized are piled up here, plus more than 100 newly recruited battalions to form this large camp in southern Liaoning, which is claimed to be 100,000, and there are actually nearly 70,000 officers and soldiers.

From the ancient town platform on the right bank of the Liao River to the bank of Niuzhuang, the defense line of dozens of miles is full of flags of various battalion heads. Behind it, the defense line of this large battalion blocked Jinzhou, and in the north, it choked the throat of the Yue army crossing the hilly area of southern Liaoning and entering the plain of central Liaoning. To the south is the Bohai Sea. Beyond this place, no matter whether the army goes southeast or north, there is no danger to defend!

Two months after the start of the war, the troops that the Qing court could collect were all gathered here, and the battalion leaders transferred from other inland provinces were slowly still on the road at this time. The Qing court, even if they don't know the soldiers, know that this is also the key to this war.

If southern Liaoning is defended, the Zhili Plain will not be in danger for a while, as long as the camp in southern Liaoning is stuck with this opening. You can wait for Xu Yifan's army, which has won consecutive battles in Korea, to return to the division, and if his army is still insufficient, there are battalion leaders drawn from Hubei, Hunan, Shaanxi and Gansu. It is said that the army is expensive but not expensive for a long time, and it also consumes them to death. The most important thing is that Xu Yifan defeated the main force of the Korean army, and the southern Liaoning army has become a lone army to go deeper, and there is no momentum to rely on, as long as southern Liaoning holds, there is still hope for land warfare!

On the contrary, if Xu Yifan's Praetorian Guards have not returned, the troops that have been requisitioned from various places have not yet arrived. If the army breaks through here, the main force of this field battle fails, then the western Liaoning corridor will be completely open, and the Beijing division will also be under the front of the army. Advancing from the Liaoxi Corridor, it will only take ten days for the light troops to enter, and you can approach the city of Yanjing City!

Could it be that at that time, it was necessary to rely on the 200,000 cage birds of the Beijing Division, who had long since lost their knowledge of what the war was, to resist the army?

If they had that ability, facing thousands of Anglo-French troops, the man of Lafayette, Xianfengye, would not have run to Chengde and died there.

This battle is not only related to this war, but also related to the growth and decline of various political forces within the Qing Dynasty.

Since the First Sino-Japanese War, the stable political pattern formed by the Hou Party in Beijing in the past 20 years in northern China has been shattered by the rapid advance of the Yue army.

The Hou Party originally cultivated a super local powerful faction Beiyang in the Zhili area to act as a major internal and external light, and to suppress the situation in various places. and then use Cixi's old power skills to balance and contain the Beiyang force in many aspects.

In addition to receiving grace, Beiyang also gave the party loyalty in return. Under the connection between inside and outside, the imperial forces that tried to come to the fore with the slogan of Guangxu's pro-government and power were overwhelmed.

(To say a few more words, the situation at this time in the late Qing Dynasty is a bit like the situation of the Hou Party headed by Cixi and Li Hongzhang, a local powerful faction.) The forces of the two sides colluded and entangled, and in the center, through such a behemoth group as Beiyang, Cixi's position was stabilized. As for the governor of the world, it has also formed a situation of internal importance and external light with the strength of Beiyang's dominance, which has a sufficient deterrent effect. Under the condition that the armed forces directly under the central government of the Qing court had collapsed, they barely stabilized for decades.

But this kind of rule depends more on human ability than on the ability of the system itself -- the Qing Dynasty was when all the effective methods of ruling the Qing court collapsed. In the First Sino-Japanese War, the Beiyang power was greatly tilted, although it was still a strong domain of the Qing Dynasty, but it was no longer enough to deter the local forces. After the First Wu Dynasty, the centrifugal tendency of the local area became more and more serious, and it was not much different from the half-reading ability, so a gunshot rang out in Xinhai, and more than ten provinces broke away from the rule of the Qing court.

Li Hongzhang also went to the throne because of the first day, and Li Zhongtang, who was loyal to the Qing Dynasty and was also content with the head of the ministers, went to the post. The central government also lost the ability to control the Beiyang group. At this time, Beiyang was no longer the central government of the Qing Dynasty and the tiger skin, but had become a real problem in the heart. After more than ten years of evolution, a careerist with sufficient ability and prestige rose up from the embers of the Beiyang Ocean and usurped the Manchu Qing Dynasty for more than 260 years in one fell swoop.

After the outbreak of the First Sino-Japanese War, the power of Beiyang declined greatly, and Li Hongzhang's prestige fell to the bottom. The Imperialism has come to the fore and won a moment of drunkenness. But the imperial party also knew that in this short-lived prosperous scene, once the war they presided over failed, the rear party would still turn over at any time and crush them to death again!

No matter from which point of view, the imperial party has done its best for the war in southern Liaoning.

Xu Yifan was ordered to serve as the general of Fengtian as a Han Chinese, and ordered him to return to the division as soon as possible to control the armies of southern Liaoning.

Guangxu repeatedly telegraphed to the world, ordering all provinces to prepare troops and salaries and reinforce the southern Liaoning front. and redoubled the entrustment of Hunan Fu Wu Dazheng, and in the case that the Huai army did not work, he whimsically prepared to use the long-declining Hunan army. Ordered Wu Dazheng to recruit the children of the heroes of the original Hunan army, organize and train into an army, and go to aid southern Liaoning!

In Beiyang, he held the financial power of northern China to the death, and did not send a single article to southern Liaoning under the instruction of Cixi. Guangxu opened the first day to donate to the shore, a big eighty percent of the platform, discounted only 4,000 taels of silver! He also wanted to pay money several times, until he found that the royal private money he could control was pitiful. There is no money to pay the army, only a piece of excerpts that inspire loyalty and blood surnames are sent to the whole world without money, especially on the front line in southern Liaoning. The white-haired veteran Song Qing was pulled out and temporarily controlled the armies of southern Liaoning before Xu Yifan's arrival, and Song Qing also replied by telegram that he had led the generals to swear in front of Emperor Guan Sheng, and he would desperately defend this line of defense for the emperor!

The whole imperial party stared at a corner of southern Liaoning with wide eyes, hoping to relieve this breath, wait until Xu Yifan returned to the division, and the reinforcements from all over the country were gathered, and then defeat the army of Yueben, and with the prestige of victory, firmly grasp the power that is still in his hands for the time being!

Since 12 September, Song Qing has been sending telegrams. First of all, he said that the local people were strong and swarmed, and they killed the lone army in all directions. It is said that the army's food supply is not good, and it has declined. Lian said that the reward issued to the local people had already been one million taels, and he asked the court for reimbursement.

Then he used the army to land in Dagu and harass, and the hundreds of officials and people in Beijing knocked on the que. Won the battle to give Xu Yifan the position of general Fengtian.

The fleet of the Yue army withdrew from the coast of Tianjin after shelling Dagu, and the second army of the Qing Dynasty in southern Liaoning, which the Beijing division was most worried about, was again stagnant, and Song Qing repeatedly claimed that the Tianzhuangtai defense line had been consolidated and could be safe. I hope that the court will pay the arrears as soon as possible, and there will be a reward. The whole imperial party couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and they were already thinking about whether to clean up Li Hongzhang first? Holding the financial power of Beiyang in his hands, he is also much more relaxed. As soon as Li Hongzhang of Beiyang goes, he can force the Queen Mother Lafayette to really travel and be raised......

No one expected that the good dream had only been going on for a few days, and on the 17th of September, the Second Army of the Qing Dynasty forcibly gathered the scattered troops in various places and launched a strong offensive while making adjustments.

Under the First World War, the Qing army was defeated!

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

From the title of Shangshu of the Qing Dynasty's military department, the governor of Sichuan, the Yiyong Baturu, the crown prince Shaobao, and the military affairs office of the Qincha military affairs committee of the southern Liaoning battalion, the sixty-four-year-old veteran Song Qing's eyes were already bloody.

On the high ground where he is located, the Song character handsome flag is still fluttering. But when I looked around, it was just a tragic situation of defeat. On the wide battlefield, there were columns of smoke ploughed high and low by military artillery. The black waves of the army slapped on the left flank of the defensive line. On the top of each mountain, the general soldiers, guerrillas, generals, and even commanders and banner battalions are all in charge of the deputy capital, and the generals and flags of the staff have all been overturned. The Qing army in Baotou, Tsing Yi, like an ant's nest meeting water, saw the crowd rolling and retreating.

The army launched an offensive in the early hours of the morning and attacked on all fronts. Whether it was the central front dominated by Song Qing or the right-wing front dominated by Yiketanga, they all withstood the first wave of the offensive of the Yue army. Only the Fengsheng Abe on the left flank, his eighteenth battalion of Jilin training army, the twenty battalion of the newly recruited Jilin continued to prepare for training, and the fifth battalion of the Qizi training battalion, but they collapsed at the first touch, and almost as soon as the guns rang out, the whole line retreated!

The army immediately shifted its main force to the left flank and swept in along the breakthrough made by Fengsheng Arang. The battalions on the front line have been in arrears for three or two months, and many of them have vowed not to fight. Blocking the first wave of the offensive of the Yue army is already worthy of their respective military commanders. Once the left flank collapsed, the defenders elsewhere retreated. On the entire front, I only saw the attack team of the Yue army, surging forward!

Most of Song Qing's personal soldiers Goshha had already been sent out, and they lined up in a line under the hill where he was sitting, and everyone was unsheathed, and the defeated soldiers of the brigade retreated, and they were stopped here. A few bright blue tops, tortoiseshell tops, military attachés were pulled out like a lost soul, pressed to the ground and cut off their heads. Rao is like this, there are still more and more routs, and when they get here, they can neither retreat, but they no longer have the courage to go back and resist. Mixed in one place, the cry shook the sky.

"Song Junmen! The brothers have not seen a penny for three months, and the court has a good voice, and they are sending money and ammunition! ”

"The Huai army is all German Mauser, we are all single-handed, and there are not a few cannons, they lost so quickly, we have already fought hard!"

"Junmen, poor and pitiful old brother Yijun has been with you for twenty years. Fengsheng ran away first, they don't care about the world of the flag people, let's fight! ”

"Junmen, give the order to withdraw! There's no way to fight this battle! ”

Song Qing just closed his eyes on the top of the mountain and said nothing, and dozens of Goshha were clustered, just looking at their commander without stopping. The sea breeze blew, and a few stems of white hair under Song Qing's hat spread out, just trembling in the wind.

The defeat was like a mountain...... Looking around, it was full of large groups of routs, which were stopped here for a while, and the rest of the place was still running wildly. The generals and their own soldiers fled on their horses without looking back, the soldiers followed behind with scolding, the military uniforms and guns were lost all the way, and the roadside was full of discarded wounds. The artillery shells swept by, blasting out gray-black plumes of smoke in the crowd. Every time a cannonball fell, a horse dragging a cart exploded, knocking it down in the middle of the crowd. Countless pairs of feet stepped on, regardless of the people and horses, they were all trampled into the soil.

An army of 70,000 is so vulnerable!

"Junmen, retreat......"

It was a nephew of Song Qingzi who spoke, leading his guards to the camp, looking at everything in front of him with a pale face with a knife on his waist. The scene of the collapse of 70,000 people was so tragic that his voice trembled when he spoke.

Song Qing was unconscious, and just muttered to himself: "What kind of battle is this called, what kind of battle is this called...... More than 200 battalions are piled up here, and the emperor thinks that he can hold it with more soldiers, and he will have his head if he takes a step back...... What about salary? What about arms? Why don't you ship it? If I am told to control the armies, who shall I control? Xu Yifan hurriedly asked him to be the prime minister of the military affairs here before he arrived, and no one listened to my words...... Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you ask for it, but that's not how the battle is fought! ”

At this time, the bullets had already whizzed past the hill left and right, and several Goshha were knocked down, but more people were clustered around Song Qing: "Junmen, beware!" There's no way now, let's quit! ”

Before Song Qing could answer, he heard a louder noise erupt from the battle line on the other side of the sea, which spread throughout the battlefield with the sea breeze. When he turned his head to look there, he saw that his right flank had also collapsed, and the large groups of routed troops had retreated like a torrent. The army was interspersed with the chaotic army, doubling the chaos of the situation.

The banners of the army were planted on the hills everywhere, and they had advanced so fast that they had blocked the retreat of many defeated troops with firepower, and I don't know how many defeated troops were forced to run to the sea. One end is the sea, the other is the army, and the bullets behind them forced them to run into the sea. The pale black sea lapped the tidal flats, rolling up white waves, and above and below these white waves, there were human heads floating!

The group broke through the chaotic rout of the army and rushed straight towards Song Qing. The heavily armed Goshkhas waved their whips and smashed their rifle butts indiscriminately, and forced a way out. In the blink of an eye, this group of people rushed straight up, and the first one was the Shengjing general Yiketanga, who was a strong Manchurian man in his fifties. This person is not the kind of person who is the son of the Eight Banners of the Beijing Division, this fame was killed by Zeng Greenqin, the pillar of Manchurian Optimus when he was a young man, with a knife and a shot. After the outbreak of the First Sino-Japanese War, Iketang A gathered in his hands to train the army in Jilin, first prepared to go to aid Korea, and later transferred to southern Liaoning because the army landed at Huayuankou, and now he also holds the title of assistant to southern Liaoning.

At this time, Yiketang'a was also covered with blood on his face, and his arms were also hung with white cloth, and several personal soldiers supported him to dismount and staggered to Song Qing: "Old Song, defeated!" Now you're going to have an idea! ”

Song Qing's face was like ashes, and he stood in the cold sea breeze in a daze: "What other way is there besides dying here?" Fengsheng Ah retreated first, Yaoshan, you can run too......"

"Fuck Fengsheng! The cubs of the Guo Boler family don't eat good forage! Old Song, don't you know what is being said in the army? It's said that someone in the court doesn't want us to win! If you don't have pay, you don't have anything! There was news before the war, Fengsheng Ah and they will run first! The army's heart has already fluctuated, so as soon as Fengsheng ran away, the big guys collapsed...... Now the person who runs is innocent and meritorious, are you still afraid of going down to the court to cut off your head? ”

Yiketang'a woke up Song Qing with a word, thinking back to the antecedents, and all kinds of battles. The old man was in a cold sweat, and jumped over and grabbed Yiketanga: "Yaoli, is this true?" ”

He grabbed Iktanga's injured arm at once, and the pain was so painful that Iktanga twitched. One of the two is the assistant of the Qincha to handle the barracks of the armies of southern Liaoning, and the other is the assistant of the Qincha to run the barracks of the armies of southern Liaoning. In terms of speaking, no one can control anyone, because the authority is equal, and there are still some mismatches. But now, Feng Sheng's Ah turned around and ran, and the two of them were angry, and they actually felt a little sympathetic.

It's not for nothing that Iktanga rushed here to say such a thing. He is a banner man, and the rumors behind the war in southern Liaoning have long been heard in his ears. He is willing to fight, but the overall situation is like this, how can he return to heaven? Now I can only retreat, first, I need Song Qing's troops to cover each other, so that we can withdraw more brothers and lead troops for decades, unlike Fengsheng's A who came out of Beijing to drill such a position, and he has no face to see people after leaving his brothers. The second is that if Song Qing does not retire and dies here, leaving him, who did not hear any hints at the beginning, to go back alive, maybe he will be in the tank! To put it bluntly, everyone runs and fucks together, and the law can't blame everyone. Speaking of Song Qing, he is the assistant! (Those who will do it will handle it together.) Helper, help handle also. For example, the general office of the Qincha is the general manager and CEO. The meeting office is the deputy general manager, and the assistant office is the assistant general manager - Oscar note)

"Seventy thousand brothers, ......" Song Qing suddenly let go of his hand and howled miserably.

Everyone is a general, and the army is so well trained, and there is already the atmosphere of a Westerner army, which can be seen clearly, and the army led by everyone is like this, knowing that it is impossible to win the war. But as long as Guangxu does not command in disorder, 70,000 people will be piled up in one place. Everyone does not fight among themselves, salaries and arms can be transported, and no one wants to run away first when they hear the news. can still stand up to it, maybe you can wait for Xu Yifan, who is said to be invincible all over North Korea, to come back...... But it was because of these inexplicable reasons that these 70,000 soldiers were defeated so badly!

The old man's cry made everyone's hearts twitch, and Song Qing had already taken off his hat, revealing a head of white hair: "This is your banner man's country...... You all run, what are we going to do here when we die? The devil is coming to the door, can't you let us fight a good fight? ”

Seeing Song Qing crying miserably, Yi Ketanga also burst out a few tears, and he grabbed Song Qing, who was paralyzed on the ground: "Old Song, what's the use of howling and mourning?" I don't want this anymore, what can we do? Hurry up and give the order, retreat to Jinzhou, and save some brothers! ”

The sound of gunfire and artillery came one after another, as well as the sound of the army shouting long live, coupled with the cry of the defeated soldiers, this whistling sound swept across the hills and mountains and plains of southern Liaoning, and rolled towards the vast Bohai Sea. Let the unearthly scenery make everything around you seem to be black and white.

Iktang's chest was full of anger, and this rare general who could fight suddenly shouted: "This Qing Dynasty, it should die!" ”

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

With a bang, the bookcase in the study in Yulan Hall fell to the ground. Frightened, the eunuchs and palace maids who were standing around with their heads bowed fell to the ground.

Several imperial ministers did not dare to raise their heads.

Guangxu, who had just knocked down his bookcase, stood there in a daze, and heard a cry from Wen Tingshi, the minister of the imperial party who was lying in front.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... It's all the incompetence of the people below, you have to hold on to ......"

Wen Tingshi is a famous champion Hanlin in the Guangxu period, and he is also a well-respected figure in the Qingliu of the court. At the beginning, the two parties of the emperor and queen took advantage of the Korean Xu Yifan fighting method, and the imperial party lost, so that the Wen Zhuangyuan, who was in the mood for the excerpts, was sent to Xinjiang Province. After half a year, he didn't finish cleaning up and leaving, and the First Sino-Japanese War began. The gray imperial party salted fish turned over, and the champion of Wenda was reused again. In recent years, Guangxu has been able to overcome public opinion, let Wen Ting-style military machine learn to walk, and help the old man Weng share a little. Who knows that he only entered the military plane, and the first thing he got was the defeat report of southern Liaoning!

Shun Feidian, the deputy commander of Shengjing, Jinzhou Prefecture, and the first line of Tianzhuangtai in southern Liaoning was a battle, and the whole line collapsed. Fengsheng A retreated to Jinzhou first, and Song Qing and Yiketanga were also defeated in turn. The large group of defeated soldiers retreated to the Liaoxi Corridor. It is messy, there are no instruments, there is no restraint, and there are bees robbing people's property. Although there is no guarantee yet, the defeat of the defeated army is a confirmed thing. Fengsheng'a camped outside Jinzhou, did not enter the city to talk about things, and the situation was waiting for him.

According to Chang Shunfeng, the battle of Tianzhuangtai, tens of thousands of lost divisions, the defeated soldiers have nothing to fear, and now Jinzhou has closed the city and is ready to defend to the death, please send Guangxu to rescue the division!

"Defeated? Defeated? ”

Guangxu just muttered to himself. The ministers below whimpered when they looked at their holy monarch with such a miserable appearance. They really can't understand that the Holy Monarch is above, and the power is in the hands of the righteous for a while. Mobilize heavy troops here, and even motivate the generals to prepare loyal and righteous blood surnames, how can they be defeated? Even if Fengsheng Ah really ran first as rumored, Song Qing and Yi Ketanga also had about 50,000 people, how could they not deal with 20,000 soldiers?

Could it be that even they are powerless to return to this kind of crisis? What is wrong with this Qing Dynasty?

"Fengsheng, damn it! Your Majesty, send a decree quickly and correct the law before the other army! In this way, it can also drum up the morale of the army, and there is still something to be done! ”

Since they can't find their own faults, Qingliu naturally has to find scapegoats. The escaped Fengsheng Ah is ready-made. It doesn't take much saliva to say a word about borrowing your head.

Several ministers echoed one after another, but none of them looked good. The people of Dagu said that they would come up, and now that Liaoxi is open, this Jingshi is also unstable, and his family name is fate, is it to find something to slip away first? Anyway, Xianfeng Ye slipped through the smoke first, and everyone slipped away at this time, but it was just a kind of learning.

Watching Wen Ting's sobbing emotion, several ministers echoed insincerely. Guangxu only felt cold.

He's never jumped out of the palm of Lafayette's hand......

The war in southern Liaoning was presided over by him, but it failed like this, maybe in the blink of an eye, Lafayette will come out to clean up the situation......

Li Hongzhang's troops were being transferred from Shandong to Qinwang to strengthen the garrison of the Beijing division after the Dagu police. As soon as these soldiers arrived, Cixi moved even more tabooly, maybe when the Huai army entered the guard, he was going to issue an edict to punish himself, and respectfully asked Lafayette to hang the curtain again!

Can this Li Hongzhang's soldiers go back? At the beginning, it was a charter set by everyone, and the Beijing division must be defended by soldiers. If Liaonan is defeated, even if these soldiers come, his prestige will be like Zhongtian, and others will not be able to do it. But now that Liaonan has lost, these troops have become the support of Lafayette's Mount Tai!

Guangxu felt happy for a while, he was the surname of the cut. When the power is in hand, he is reckless, and when the situation is wrong, it is very easy to be discouraged. Wave your hand and want to turn around. Just do what you want, anyway, he was also picked up by Cixi!

Seeing Guangxu turn around, Wen Tingshi raised his head and shouted eagerly: "Your Majesty!" ”

Guangxu turned around, bent his thin back, and said with a wry smile: "What's the matter?" Let's discuss it, I want to rest for a while, I'm tired and panicked......"

Outside Yulan Hall, Weng Tonghe's voice suddenly sounded: "The world is so disturbed, how can the emperor rest?" ”

Several people were stunned, and they saw Weng Tonghe striding in. The old man's eyes were bloodshot, his face was gloomy, and there was even a trace of sickly flushing.

Since these days, Weng Tonghe has been exempted from communication when he goes to Guangxu. Guangxu felt happy when he saw him, but now he just smiled bitterly again: "Forget it, it's boring, I want to take a breath......"

Weng Tonghe bowed down meticulously, straightened up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Shandong is flying lightning, seventeenth, the army is about 20,000, and it has landed in Rongcheng Bay, and the soldiers are pointing directly at Weihaiwei!" ”

Several ministers are in an uproar, this is another big bad news! The northern gate of the Beijing Division has been kicked open by the army, and at the gate of the south, the army has poked its head in! At the beginning, the ministers still had some hope, Xu Yifan was still rushing back, his reputation was there, and he had cleaned up tens of thousands of devils, maybe he could stabilize the situation in southern Liaoning. There is no hope of winning the war, and if you save a little face, the emperor can step down or seek peace. Now that the Shandong army has begun to land again, even Xu Yifan's three heads and six arms can't be busy!

This little book is really, what do you do when you force people to despair?

Daqing, it seems that this war is lost!

Guangxu didn't move, he was still so pale, and smiled faintly: "I know, you can discuss it." ”

Weng Tonghe was not polite, and he was about to stop Guangxu as soon as he stood up. Today, the old man's demeanor seems a little impetuous, his eyes are wide open, and he is shining, so that people dare not force his eyes. He waved his hand to the ministers below, and everyone didn't know what phlegm the old man Weng had committed today, so he felt that it had nothing to do with him, so he quickly kowtowed and retreated. Only the Wen Ting-style Wen Da Champion knelt there straight, as if he didn't see it. Weng Tonghe looked at him like that, just nodded slightly, and ignored it.

"Teacher, what do you want...... I'm tired, tired. In this world, it's better for Lafayette to clean up......"

Guangxu muttered to himself, dodging Weng Tonghe's gaze. The old man's face was flushed deeper and deeper. At this point, Guangxu still has a way out. He Weng Tonghe has no way out! A day ago, the position of the first minister of the world was still beckoning to him, but a day later, the news of the fiasco arrived. The other old men didn't know that Cixi must have hated him!

Since I took a step back, I didn't know where the death was, and at this time, I could only struggle to survive in death. He calmly turned around, sent all the eunuchs and palace maids out, and looked carefully to make sure that there was no one around, before gritting his teeth in a low and cold voice: "Your Majesty, the army is on land in Shandong, hurry up and send the Huai army corps that was transferred to Beijing to guard the division, and then return to the original defense!" As for the emptiness of the Beijing Division, Xu Yifan's Praetorian Guard was secretly transferred, sneaked through Liaoxi, and entered the Beijing Division! ”

As soon as the words came out, Guangxu's body trembled. Wen Tingshi, who was kneeling there, also widened his eyes and almost fainted.

The imperial party has been showing favor to Xu Yifan, and subconsciously regards him as a force that can be relied on. This transfer of Xu Yifan into the Weijing Division, and did not let Li Hongzhang lead the troops to Yanjing, the subtext behind it can be known without asking!

I didn't expect Weng Tonghe to dare to be crazy like this!

As soon as Guangxu's legs were weak, he sat on a chair beside him. Wen Tingshi stood up violently, and said in a low voice: "Lord Weng, you are crazy!" ”

Weng Tonghe turned his head, the muscles on his face twitched together: "Do you want to watch the Holy Monarch claustrophobic, and the villain will be in power again, before you are willing?" ”

"It's just that Li Hongzhang was transferred back, after all, it was justified that the army went to land and returned to Shandong. Where is Xu Yifan now, how can you find him? This news is passed back and forth, not to mention the time delay, in case of leakage, what should I do? ”

"I have long had a telegram exchange with Xu Yifan's brother Tan Sitong, and he is also a loyal person! He came up with this idea! Xu Yifan's movements, this Tan Si knows everything, according to his calculations, at most, Xu Yifan is about to enter Liaoyang City! Use Tan Si to send it directly to the Liaoyang Telegraph Office with a secret book, he is the minister of the Qincha, the general of Fengtian, and he is afraid that he will not receive it? The Holy Lord called on him to join the Weijing Division, what could he not do? ”

"There is still a large army in Liaoxi, how did Xu Yifan cross them and go straight to Beijing? If they knew, would they not let the army stand in his way? ”

"A group of defeated soldiers in Liaoxi, and they still want to block Xu Yifan's more than 10,000 elite divisions? He moved from one road to the next, crossing Liaoxi. With the speed at which he set Seoul in five days and eight hundred miles, he arrived in Beijing earlier than anyone else, and when the time comes, the overall situation will be decided! ”

"In case the news leaks, the emperor will be in Yanjing City! Where have you put your sanctification? This kind of change in Beijing, the history books are full of records, which dynasty has a good end? ”

"Do you just watch my emperor being claustrophobic, and I waiting for Qingliu to be imprisoned...... The emperor was picked out by Lafayette, so why is it difficult to pick another one? Tongzhi Ye died so early, is there no reason? ”

This sentence is so presumptuous, if it weren't for the ups and downs of Weng Tonghe's mood, and he was so afraid of coming, he wouldn't have been able to say it! This sentence is so powerful, it shocked Wen Ting's legs and knelt on the ground again, and Guangxu couldn't speak with his mouth open!

Weng Tonghe stood there awe-inspiringly and said coldly: "It's urgent, it's not enough to be bold!" ”

The Yulan Hall was quiet for a long time, and finally Guangxu's voice came out: "I don't know...... I don't know, I don't know anything! With that, he hid his face and staggered back to his inner chamber. The huge pressure made his thin body seem to be about to break at this moment.

Wen Tingshi looked up at the roof, as if he wanted to see through the roof beams all the way to the sky. It's as if I want to find an answer from heaven. At present, the great enemy is suffering a fiasco in southern Liaoning, and there are signs of a fiasco in Shandong. The Qing Dynasty fought a battle and lost a battle, but the two parties of the emperor and queen were still so entangled, Wen Da Zhuangyuan's mind was spinning, and in the end it was just a miserable howl: "If you want to be a loyal minister, why is it so difficult?" ”

"My lord, Liaoyang is right in front of you, at most four hours, our brigade will be able to enter the city to rest!"

Pu Yang led the horse and circled under a small mound. Beside him, brigades of infantry, cavalry, artillery were rolling through. Everyone was marching silently, and the dragon banner fluttered and danced in front of and behind the procession. After the Motianling, it is the Liaozhong Plain, and the population is gradually dense. Left and right, scattered people are all looking at this tiger in a daze.

Pu Yang reported to him, and Xu Yifan went to a high place immediately, just looking to the southwest.

The summer breeze swept by, faintly bringing the sound of Jin Ge killing.

"Is it too late?"

History is so heavy, is it really so difficult to pry with the power of one person?

Forget it, just have a clear conscience. In this war, what I ask for is just four words with a clear conscience...... I can't hold back and make this brilliant mess of the Qing Dynasty, I'm really depressed and panicked. is still the same sentence, not for the Qing Dynasty, but for the ancestors. Lao Tzu, who aspires to be Cao Ying, won't make trouble for you, so please make less trouble yourself......

He suddenly laughed to himself, and with a dozen horses, the horses suddenly neighed down the mound and merged into the unstoppable torrent of the Praetorian Guard.

"Praetorian Guard, enter Liaoyang!"
