In Port Arthur, Vice Admiral Philiant, commander of the British Far East Fleet, accompanied by Wu Tingfang, a chamberlain of the Qing State Rite Department, visited Port Arthur again.

As soon as I got off the train, I saw that the train station was full of busy scenes, and the whole train station was full of workers loading and unloading goods. Trains loaded with all kinds of supplies came here, and they were loaded and loaded for shipment as soon as they were unloaded. Since the Pacific Fleet attacked the coastline, a large number of cargo ships began to travel between Lushun and Yueben, a shipload of goods plundered from Yueben was unloaded in Lushun and then loaded onto the train to transport away, after several months of transshipment, Lushun railway station is still piled up, which makes Philmantle extremely red-eyed.

"Your country's Pacific Fleet has achieved great results, not only snatching a large number of cargo ships from the capital, but also countless supplies. I'm afraid that all the achievements since the reform of the people's rule have been robbed by you. ”

Although countries around the world have used "the largest robbery in history" to describe the Qing attack on the coast of Yuben, it does not mean that you can say it to your face. Wu Tingfang was unhappy, and his face pulled: "Lieutenant General Shengxian, this is the captured trophy." ”

"Then are these people also seized from your country?" Phillimant asked, pointing to the people who had been taken hostage by the Pacific Fleet to board the cargo ship from the Pacific Fleet and drive the ship back to Lushun.

"Those are the workers whom our country has brought back from our country, and they are working in our country, and our political axe is to pay them. I solemnly remind you, Mr. Lieutenant General, to be careful about your wording. ”

Wu Tingfang's words were as cold as winter in Lushun, which made Filimante laugh a few times and walk out of the train station. The arrival of the Pacific Fleet challenged the British Far East Fleet, which was originally the most powerful in the Far East, the Qing Pacific Fleet, the Beiyang Fleet and the South Ocean Fleet, plus the two cruisers that had just sailed from the British mainland to the Qing State, although the surname of each warship of the Qing State was deeply imprinted in Philiante's mind, but once the Qing State reorganized all the warships into a huge fleet, then the Far East Fleet of the British Empire would be seriously threatened. To this end, he not only reported to the British Admiralty that he was going to add the latest Majesty-class battleships to the Far East Fleet, but he also came to Arthur again because he wanted to see for himself how the Pacific Fleet reorganized the South Sea Fleet.

The Beiyang Fleet has been floating at sea for half a year, and the sea creatures growing on the bottom of the ship have seriously affected the sailing speed of the fleet. Today, all the ships of the Pacific Fleet are scattered in various places for maintenance. In the naval yamen of Lushun, Wu Deren and Liu Buyun did not let each other go. Only the officials of the Nanyang Naval Division sat aside with their heads bowed, waiting for the final dissolution of the Nanyang Naval Division.

After the complete defeat of the Beiyang Fleet in the Battle of Dadonggou, Guangxu ordered all the Nanyang Naval Division to immediately go north to support the Beiyang Fleet. Not only did the Nanyang Navy Division not follow the order to go north, but also openly said: If you want to forcibly order the Nanyang Navy Division to go north, you will sink the warship yourself. After learning that the Pacific Fleet had completely annihilated the Navy, the Nanyang Naval Division, which had once again received the will to go north, sailed without saying a word. The Pacific Fleet, which had already seen the huge gains made off the coast of Yuben, hoped to get a piece of the pie, but when they first arrived in Lushun to receive supplies, they were waiting for the guns of the Reading Regiment, and all their officers were ordered to arrest them. The pipe band who threatened to sink the warship was shot on the spot, and the other pipe bands were all imprisoned pending investigation.

Now, the investigation has ended. Those who should be shot have been shot, those who should be dismissed have been dismissed, and those who should be retained will continue to be retained. Everyone knows that the Nanyang Naval Division is finished. Now in order to get the better warships in the Nanyang Naval Division, Wu Deren is arguing with Liu Buyun. Wu Deren said that it is necessary to continue to strengthen the Pacific Fleet, and not only the newest warships of the South Ocean Fleet will be assigned to the Pacific Fleet, but also the two latest Huwei-class heavy cruisers will also be assigned to the Pacific Fleet. Achieve fleet strength to compete with the British Far East Fleet in order to strive for a more favorable diplomatic situation. However, Liu Buyun demanded that there should be no excessive difference between the strength and weakness of the two fleets, and that all the latest warships should be assigned to the Beiyang Fleet. At this moment, Cheng Cheng, a staff officer of the Pacific Fleet, remained in the capital because of the emperor's will. Without Cheng Cheng, a peacemaker, Wu Deren's temper is already thankful that he didn't fight. also because of their quarrel, Guangxu issued an order to reprimand the two at the same time: Let you go to incorporate the Nanyang Naval Division, not to carve up the Nanyang Naval Division, and immediately form the combat effectiveness of the ships of the Nanyang Naval Division.

In fact, for the planning of the future Qing naval fleet, Guangxu himself did not know what to do. The name and surname of each warship of the Qing Navy can be hung in the imperial study, but no matter how Ren Guangxu looks, he can't see why. In order to cope with the First Sino-Japanese War, Guangxu did not think about the aftermath of the war at all. There can be no major changes in the situation of the DPRK, but militarily it is basically necessary to overturn the past. This made Guangxu, who had only been the emperor for three years, really embarrassed.

The general staff in the capital was also restless because of this. For the first time under the leadership of the emperor, he came to the General Staff Headquarters, and the new command structure and the clear staff system opened Cheng Cheng's eyes. He had inquired in detail about the details of the General Staff, and the other officers of the General Staff did not reject him as a newcomer in the slightest. But now Cheng Cheng frowned, sitting in the position of the naval staff officer and looking at the roster of warships in a daze. As for the future plan of the Qing Navy, he had already written two excerpts out of public interest, but the emperor did not give any reaction. So how to write this third one, but Chief of Staff Wang Shizhen can't give any effective advice because he doesn't understand the Navy.

In fact, Wang Shizhen also has a headache. At present, the Qing army needs to be rebuilt, soldiers can be recruited, and non-commissioned officers can only be selected from various departments of the Liaohe River. In the opinion of Michael and Horst, as long as a certain amount of time is given, the rebuilding of the new army is not a problem. But they must be foreigners after all, and they don't know the situation of the Qing Kingdom, but Wang Shizhen, as the chief of staff, must consider it.

In the first battle of the Liaohe River, the First Division of the New Army did not suffer major casualties. Not only has the establishment been completed, but the combat effectiveness has also been basically maintained. The casualties of the second division were heavy, and a B division was formed into a regiment and was not yet fully manned. After all, the officers and men of the new army must have been recruited before the war, and there are no bad habits of the old army. Moreover, after more than two years of ideological education, his idea of loyalty to the monarch has been deeply rooted. But it's hard to say about the Beiyang Huai Army. First of all, if the bad habits in the Huai army are only reorganized, then these bad habits will continue to spread in the army, and the combat effectiveness of the army will be greatly reduced. If it is incorporated into the new army, will the Huai army, which is much outnumbered compared to the new army, bring the original bad habits to the new army? Again, Wang Shizhen refused to send a new army south to support the war in Shandong, which had offended the Queen Mother. Then his future fate is closely linked to the emperor. Therefore, he must ensure the allegiance of the newly reorganized army to the emperor. Otherwise, in the future, the new army will be controlled by the Queen Mother, and he will basically have no hope. Therefore, the appointment of officers at all levels of the Forces nouvelles is a top priority. In addition, how should the Huai army generals who made great achievements in the Battle of Liaohe, such as Nie Shicheng, Zuo Guigui, Liu Shengxiu, Yi Ketanga and others, deal with their respective troops? In the present period when the army is regarded as a private guard, will the integration of their respective units into the new army provoke their opposition? Now that the emperor has to compromise with the queen mother in order to stabilize the country's internal affairs, he must reorganize and provoke the resistance of these Huai army generals, and the emperor will definitely put himself out and let those people be angry. Although the emperor shouldn't do anything to himself, it's also very troublesome. If they are still allowed to bring their own soldiers, how can the problem of loyalty be solved? There are also Navy, Logistics, Special Forces...... It's annoying to think about.

However, not only did he not think of a way, but he also discussed privately with Ouyang Zhenhua, the newly appointed secretary of the Ministry of War, many times, but to no avail. Wang Shizhen also asked the emperor about his intentions many times, and also vaguely mentioned the question of the ideological work of the new army. But it seems that the emperor didn't think about it either.

Compared with Cheng Cheng or Wang Shizhen, in fact, Guangxu has more worries. What worries Guangxu the most is that after the war, Cixi put down the power in her hands and stayed in the garden with peace of mind, and the Empress Dowager Cihui was very quiet. Not only did he block all the officials who asked to see him, including Shi Duo, but if it weren't for Guangxu himself taking the excerpt to consult Cixi, Cixi would not have asked about political affairs. The drastic change in Cixi's attitude caused Guangxu to mind, which was really abnormal. A woman who regards power as her life, let her let go of the power in her hands is like killing her. Ordinary people always have to find a way to resist, but Cixi is like no one else, watching the play and visiting the garden as usual. This...... I can't understand that. Guangxu asked Kou Liancai to keep an eye on Cining Palace, and on the other hand, he began to rectify the Imperial Forest Army. As long as he grabbed the gun in the palace in his own hand, Ren Cixi would not be able to figure it out.

Therefore, Yang Dongzi, the commander of the reconnaissance company directly under the central government, who attacked Dashanyan in the Liaohe River, began to select personnel from various departments, and then concentrated them in the Fengtai camp for training. Just wait for Guangxu to think that the time is right, and then transfer into the palace in one fell swoop. Therefore, Yang Dongzi's ambush of Dashanyan effectively alleviated the defense line of Da Nianfang Village, which was in danger at that time, and gave Guangxu enough time to readjust the defense. Yang Dongzi, who had made a lot of contributions, was shot in the leg when he jumped into the river, and he suffered from frostbite in the cold river water, and although he was cured in the end, his leg was unable to exert his strength. Unable to run fast and jump high, he was frustrated and received a summons from the emperor at the moment when he took off his military uniform, and the emperor not only did not let him leave the army, but reused it. On the one hand, he was put in charge of the management of the special forces, and he was also asked to select soldiers similar to him to form the Royal Guard Corps, ready to take over the original Royal Guards. The sudden imperial grace made Yang Dongzi grateful, and he devoted himself to his new work.

What annoys Guangxu is that there is not enough time. In the morning, he went to the court to listen to the government, and in the afternoon, he met with the courtiers to decide on government affairs. Before the war, the night was used to do some things and meet some people I wanted to meet, but now all the time was occupied by regular government affairs. The affairs of various places should be decided by the imperial court, and the cities and villages in Liaodong and Shandong that had been destroyed by war should be rebuilt...... Not only domestic, but also foreign devils have to come to join in the fun. The construction of railways and highways, the construction of factories and mines, etc., etc., etc., Guangxu batch excerpts until late at night and found that there seemed to be a few copies of excerpts. The officials of the Queen Mother's party are asking for instructions on major matters and reporting on small matters. I don't know if they deliberately played ghosts or Cixi was capable, why did she still have time to go to the theater when Cixi was in charge?

Guangxu deliberately complained a few words in front of Cixi, but in exchange for Cixi's cold answer: The emperor is not so easy to be. The Empress Dowager Ren Cihui pleaded for mercy in every possible way, but Cixi did not give a single point. Angry, Guangxu returned to the imperial study and complained loudly: Emperor, the real TMD is not a human job.

Fortunately, there is a willow eyebrow beside him: the emperor is the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven should be a god, and he is not an ordinary person. The laughter from time to time relieved Guangxu's gathered anger, otherwise he didn't know what Guangxu would become.

However, this does not solve the real problem. The reorganization of the navy and army has begun, but Guangxu himself has no idea what it will be like and what it will be like in the future. The reorganization and folding handed over by the army and navy staff did not show anything particularly good or bad. You can only put aside one side first, take one step at a time, and look at the first step.

There is also the Green Battalion and Eight Banners, which not only cannot be used in the war, but will also cause panic and defeat of the whole army because of their unauthorized actions. The battle of Cangzhou in Shandong Province is the best proof of this. By banning the Green Battalion and Eight Banners, the money from raising a bunch of waste can be used to build an army that can really fight. It may be difficult to ban the Eight Banners at the moment, but it is really not a problem to ban the green camp. Changing the green battalion into a police force and reorganizing and training can not only effectively solve the problem of empty salaries, but also provide the army with a good second-line supplementary force. At this time, Guangxu thought of Yuan Shikai. Yuan Shikai's side of the two Wen and the four martial arts, Wang Duan Feng Liang is already in his new army. Xu Shichang was transferred to Hawaii, and Yang Du, the last descendant of the emperor's mental arts, was now fooled by Guangxu to the Beijing Normal University Hall. No matter how ambitious Yuan Shikai was, no one helped him, and Guangxu could naturally use him with confidence. With his means and mental skills, plus the fact that he had already trained a new army in Seoul, it would have been good for him to take the lead in reforming the Green Battalion, but he died in Seoul. So who will lead the reform of my green camp?

The court has changed masters, and everything has begun to change. The only thing that remains unchanged is Guangxu's morning run, which is a matter related to his body's capital, and there is no room for error, but there is also a problem with the morning run. In the morning, when the air is good and the mood is good, you can use the time of the morning jog to think about some problems. The front was supposed to be the place to turn, but Guangxu thought that things had turned before they reached the place where they turned. The guards finally made a mistake, and Guangxu's head hit the wall directly, and the result was that Guangxu went up with gauze.

Annoying, annoying, annoying, Guangxu is useless even if he grabs all his hair. The days passed, and the war with the book finally saw the end. (To be continued.) )
