Chapter 23: Breaking the Game

In the quiet of the afternoon, the sun shines unobstructed, illuminating the entire Seoul in white colors. In the sweltering heat, everything looks listless, even the pedestrians on the street seem lazy. In the center of Seoul, Gyeongbokgung Palace's tallest bell tower stands there, and when you look at it, the silhouette of the bell tower floats because of the heat.

Han Cheng's rhythm was not fast, because of this hot weather, he seemed even more lazy. In the streets and alleys, the people of Seoul wearing white national costumes are sitting bored. Everything seems to be no different from the past, this kingdom with a long history, the past has been like this, it seems that this kind of story will continue forever.

Not far from Gyeongbokgung Palace, the legation in Seoul also seemed quiet, and only the sound of cicadas could be heard. The legation guards, dressed in white leggings and black uniforms, stood straight in the sun, already drenched with sweat, poking there like puppets that could only breathe. It's quiet, but I don't know why, the air here is tight, and a little spark seems to make this place explode.

For the past two days, every night, there have been longing figures coming and going in the embassy in a hurry. Everyone's face was solemn, and the guard barracks next to the embassy were even more guarded early, and double posts were added every night. All the holidays of the officers and men were cancelled, and if a Korean citizen inadvertently approached the embassy, they could hear the hoarse warning voice of the guards.

The diplomats of each legation looked nervous and came and went in a hurry, and everyone seemed irritable and irritable. Especially led by Minister Sugimura, Sugimura has relied on a lot of sake every night to sleep for three or two hours these days. Then he got up with red eyes, and used his diplomatic carriage to go back and forth between the legations, picking up and dropping off secret visitors who never showed their heads. Every night, I was even more worried about going round and round in the courtyard of the legation with my hands behind my back.

Any trained and attentive intelligence gatherer and analyst can conclude what he was preparing to do in Seoul.

Unfortunately, North Korea is too remote. In Asia, the world's great powers are busy dividing their spheres of influence in Indochina, trying to grab more benefits from the Qing Dynasty, and fighting openly and secretly at the intersection of the world islands in Central Asia. There really is no Western country that cares about this small, old, remote, barren country. And this small country, in the future, is related to the fortune of the two East Asian countries in a century...... At this time, no one could have thought of so much, not even the Qing diplomats who were closely involved. The battle between the two ministers of Korea had already drawn the attention of Qing diplomats in Seoul. Before the battle was concluded, and they could not be sure whether they would continue to hold on to their rank and job with that thick leg, it would be none of their business for the legation to be free of charge even if Minister Sugimura was running naked on the streets of Seoul.

The situation gradually fell into this dead air, going farther and farther until it ran away.

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

"Your Excellency! Excellency! A small, eager shout rang from one end of the corridor to the other side of the corridor. Along with the shouting, there was the sound of leather shoes banging on the wooden floor.

Lieutenant General Kawakami, who was sitting indoors, smiled faintly and remained calm and silent. This army think-tank, who is in control of this situation in the center of the whirlpool in the dense clouds and rain, is different from those restless people, and has always seemed calm and cold. There is even leisure to practice words and poems. Except for the dark circles under the eyes, everything is as usual.

The footsteps and shouts grew louder and louder, and the door to the entrance of the Japanese room was slammed open. What caught the eyes of everyone in the room was Minister Sugimura, who was so excited and nervous that he was about to faint. He was wearing a full diplomatic dress, and it seemed that there was some negotiation activity today, and by this time his face was flushed, and his mouth was wide open and he could not breathe. looked at Kawakami and them, waving a stack of letterheads in his hand with one hand, and pulling his bow tie violently with the other.

Kawakami remained silent, but the two guests in front of him stood up at once. The two are Kim Ok-kyun and Park Yong-hyo. Kim Ok-gyun was as excited as Sugimura, but Park Yong-hyo was blue and gray.

Sugimura gasped several times, his glasses staring straight at Kawakami. Finally burst out: "Your Excellency Kawakami! Pyongyang is in turmoil! The Dongxue Party has risen, and Xu Yifan's army in the Qing State has been shot and suppressed! Xu Yifanjun has been fully involved in the chaos of Ping'an Dao! ”

His voice was terrifyingly loud, and Jin Yujun's eyes were closed, and he was so excited that he almost fainted. Kawakami said calmly: "That's it...... When did it happen? Is the information reliable? ”

Sugimura jumped into the Japanese room with his shoes on, waving the letterhead in his hand: "The news from the Heavenly Bless Heroes Troupe will be delivered quickly." All the posts of Ping'an Dao have been blocked by the heroes of the Heavenly Blessed Heroes Regiment. The chaos happened three days ago, and several horses were killed, and the news came as soon as possible! Absolutely! Your Excellency, we don't have much time, the heroes of the God Bless Heroes have bought us two or three days, we can't miss it! The current political axe of the DPRK must be reorganized! ”

Kawakami slowly took the letterhead, looked at it carefully, and then slowly stood up with his knees on his feet. The eyes of the three people were all on him, and the meaning behind them was different, especially Jin Yujun's eagerness, which was almost burning!

Kawakami said softly: "Jin Jun, how is it?" ”

Jin Yujun's blood had already rushed to his head, and he wanted to open his mouth to speak, but he couldn't say anything for a while. He closed his glasses, tears of excitement welling up in large gullies.

Park Yongxiao bent down and spoke respectfully for Jin Yujun on the side: "Your Excellency, we have contacted the Zhongxiang Mansion, the Shengping Bureau, the Neiye Hall and other places, although the remnants of our Kaihua Party do not hold real power now, but their idle positions are all forbidden in the palace. With the Minister of the Imperial Court as the object of discussion, with the full support of his friends, he has made all preparations...... Now that the Qing army is trapped in Pyongyang, and the armed forces under the command of the Seoul Daejun are vulnerable, we have gathered 500 people with lofty ideals and the backbone of the Kaihua Party, and we are fully armed, ready to raise the Qingjun side at any time, rebuild the Kaihua Party and government axe, sever relations with the Qing State, and begin a new era of the Korean Kingdom of Co-prosperity with the Yuben Empire! ”

The words are very good, but this Park Yong-hyo is a little lacking in breath and a little slurred. Kawakami just smiled, but Sugimura frowned slightly.

Bastard! The empire has worked hard for you, how many people with lofty ideals have been born and died in Korea, but you are so unenthusiastic and excited!

Jin Yujun pressed Park Yonghyo's shoulder, tried to stabilize his emotions, and said word by word: "We are all ready!" Just waiting to get started! ”

The meaning is resolute, and there is no hesitation.

Kawakami smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Then let's start acting at noon the day after tomorrow, Sugimura-kun will go to visit His Royal Highness King Li and His Royal Highness Concubine Min when he arrives, and he will fully cooperate with you." Tonight's assembly and deliberations, Sugimura-kun will also do his best to help you...... Here, I look forward to your success. Building a New Korean ...... of Friendship with the Empire"

Jin Yujun nodded heavily and bowed deeply, but he didn't turn to leave, but looked up at Kawakami Yaroku, his eyes straight: "...... Excellency, thank you for triggering the rebellion of the Donghak Party in North Korea...... But what about the chaos there? My people, can I be seriously injured? ”

Kawakami's expression has always been faint, and he said in a low voice: "These are the prices that must be paid for the restoration of North Korea." Jin Jun, who shot it, was the Qing army. The one who ordered the shooting was Xu Yifan, the minister of the Qing Dynasty. ”

Jin Yujun closed his eyes again, bowed deeply again, and straightened up, his face was already full of determination: "I hope that North Korea will never have a suzerainty riding on its head again, and I hope that North Korea will never hear the guns of the Qing people again, and I hope that North Korea can embark on the same path of restoration and enlightenment as the Yueben Empire, and become an emerging power in East Asia like Yueben!" If so, what is the point of my death? ”

With that, he turned and walked away. Park Yongxiao bowed a few more times in a panic and hurriedly followed. Minister Sugimura was visibly moved by Kim Ok-kyun's words, and bowed deeply to see him off. He didn't look up until the footsteps faded down the hallway.

Kawakami stood there, but his expression was thoughtful.

Sugimura said in a low voice: "Your Excellency, since it has already begun, I have decided to gamble on my surname and make this coup successful!" Don't do the same thing again! Thank you for your help and advice! ”

Kawakami didn't look too excited, and just asked with a smile: "Do you think it will be successful?" ”

Sugimura's tone was equally firm: "The Qing Kingdom is empty in Seoul, but Jin Jun and they have five hundred desperate fighters, and there are eight hundred elites of the empire standing behind them as their strong backing!" With such a strong friend as Kim Jun, Your Excellency, the future of the empire in Korea must be bright! ”

Kawakami Ryoroku suddenly laughed, and in the end, he just nodded slightly: "I hope so, let's pin our hopes on His Excellency Jin Yujun, a friend of this year!" ”

He didn't wait for Sugimura to answer, and strode out of the Japanese room: "Later, at noon, according to the time, you cooperate in Gyeongbokgung Palace, and I control the army and maintain contact with the country." Sugimura-kun, go for it! ”

Sugimura stood there stunned, although he was still excited, but he didn't know why. I always feel that in Kawakami Kayaroku's hearty laughter, there is always a little bit of irony.

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

Pyongan Province, North Korea.

The weather here is also slowly clearing.

In the Praetorian Guard barracks, there were people everywhere. The troops drove out one by one, and the vacated barracks took in tens of thousands of workers, merchants, and technicians who had escaped or been rescued from various construction sites, trade routes, and warehouses. Zhan Tianyou has changed from the chief commander of construction to the chief commander of refugee resettlement. He was busy distributing food and sheltering them, shuttling among the fleeing people every day.

From day to night, the sound of gunfire was constantly heard. Many of the people who fled were struggling to get their lives from the sticks and knives of the North Korean mob, and everyone was terrified when they heard the gunshots and saw the fires in the distance. But once they saw the soldiers of the Praetorian Guards who were guarding all around, and Zhan Tianyou who was bent over and running around with his head down, they were all much quieter. In their experience, nothing like this had ever happened. Not only did the army fight desperately to rescue them, but they also vacated their camp and let them live in it, while they themselves were on guard all night in the muddy water.

At least in the more than 200 years since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, there has never been a wow! In word of mouth, they are all bandits like grates, and soldiers are like washing. Uncle Bing is more terrible than bandits. Now these soldiers, now they are like this!

These soldiers were all brought out by Lord Xu. That Master Zhan, who is busy like an old mother all day long, is also Lord Xu's subordinate!

How good would it be if there were more officials like Lord Xu in the Great Qing Kingdom?

Every day, day or night, there are people kneeling and kowtowing in the direction of Xu Yifan's tent. You must know that in order to make room for the wounded, Lord Xu even gave up his own office and lived in a tent with his family!

These countless people were kneeling towards the tent group, but now there was a tense and murderous atmosphere.

Pu Yang and the Goshkha were guarding the entrance of the tent, and everyone was loaded with ammunition. There were tens of thousands of refugees inside, hundreds of thousands of mobs outside, and everyone's nerves were tense. When the troops were scattered, they heard only the sound of gunfire. Although military reports kept coming, they didn't have the blessing to watch, and they didn't know where such a riot was going. Occasionally, the wounded were sent down, and the soldiers carrying the wounded were all blood-red in their eyes, and they all looked at each other with a murderous aura. No one dared to come up and ask more. Everyone wondered in their hearts, what was going on outside? The adults were in the tent all day, and at the end of the day, they were meditating on the map, and muttering their fingers to count the time. What are the plans of the adults?

However, these words, Pu Yang and Goshha's chests are high. There is no other reason than the reverent gaze of those people. Having never been so proud as a soldier is now, and I am so proud that I am proud of it. We have protected so many people!

When will Master Xu be willing to give an order for us to go up and shoot and see blood?

Pu Yang was thinking nonsense about the six-wheeled pistol on his waist when he saw a stirring outside. The crowd parted to the left and right, and a senior officer was seen hurrying over with his officers.

The officer was tall, with a smile on his lips, and his head was still slick under his hat. Who else but Chu Wanli? The guards around him were all murderous, and many of them were covered with blood and mud on their riding boots. Chu Wanli was beside Zhang Xuzhou, the first standard commander who was ordered to stay in the camp of the Praetorian Guards, as well as the chief and deputy battalion officers of the first standard and the second battalion and eight team officers, one of whom was Xu Yifan's quasi-brother-in-law Li Xing. He finally got his wish and left Zhan Tianyou's subordinates to become an officer, dressed neatly, his face was tense, and he looked like an excellent young officer.

Chu Wanli and Li Yunzong were scattered at the same time, each commanding the Praetorian Guards in one direction, and going around in a large circle to attack Pyongyang Prefecture, but he was in charge of one direction. Now that the rebellion is going on so urgently, why did he suddenly come back?

Several Goshhadou looked at each other, and Pu Yang was also full of questions. However, seeing Chu Wanli turn over and dismount in front of him, he didn't dare to slack off. Immediately, a thousand fights went down: "Subordinates see Chu Junmen!" Do you want to see your lords? ”

Chu Wanli stood on the ground, took off his hat with a smile, and touched his head. Seeing that Pu Yang's face turned blue, he always felt that Chu Wanli deliberately showed him that he had cut his braids. Among the Praetorian Guards, many Nanyang scholars did not have braids, and the Qing Dynasty would not cut off people's heads for no braids. But from Beiyang, only Chu Wanli is bare-headed!

I only heard Chu Wanli laugh and said: "Sibei Ziye, I came back all the way, who else can I see if I don't see my lord?" Why don't you introduce me to whom Gege knows? ”

Pu Yang's face suddenly turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said: "In the Praetorian Guard, there is no shellfish who is not a shellfish, I will go and pass it on to the adults......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw the tent curtain lifted, and Xu Yifan's head poked out of it, and his face was also iron-blue. The casualness of the past has long been gone, the bags under his eyes are deep, and he looks a few years older. Chu Wanli, who frowned and looked at the hippie smiling face who was teasing the stuffy man there: "You kid get in for me!" The military situation is like fire, and it is still there nonsense! ”

Chu Wanli smiled and snapped a new-style military salute that Xu Yifan took the lead in. waved his hand to the subordinates behind him, and strode in, leaving Pu Yang there with a blue face to compete with himself.

The officers rumbled into the tent, each with a resentful look on their faces. The two main battalions of the best trained, the most backbone, and the most competitive officers stayed here to guard the camp, listening to the gunfire outside. All of them are complaining about the sky, and they feel that their lives are more bitter than Coptis chinensis.

The army is dying, isn't it just for the sake of shooting? In the short history of one standard, it has always been the first to beat the other standards. It's good now, I'll have to be a man with my tail between my legs in the future! From the very beginning, Xu Yifan instilled in them the sense of honor of officers, which made these young and vigorous officers who were born in the army feel that this time defending the camp without attacking is not much different from the sky falling. After a day and a night, Chu Wanli rushed back from the front line and suddenly called them to take the battalion officers to meet Xu Yifan. Many people came with a stomach full of annoyance, and the sound of saluting when they entered the tent was doubly loud. Zhang Xuzhou also added a heavy stomping, as if to let Xu Yifan know how unhappy he was.

But Xu Yifan didn't even look back. He just looked at the map of North Korea hanging on the wall of the tent. The map is one in 100,000 of the maps printed by the Beiyang Printing Company. It is also the painstaking efforts of the officers who have studied surveying and mapping in Beiyang for generations. This is already the best map of North Korea that Xu Yifan can get at this stage. On the map, the location of Seoul is heavily ticked with a red pen.

The whole tent was stuffy and hot. The sunlight is still not penetrating, and it looks dark and damp. A few lanterns were hung, but they added more smoke to the tent. Compared to the conditions of the help office, it is really heaven and earth. But seeing Xu Yifan standing in front of the map, there was already a circle of sweat stains under his feet, and I don't know how long he had been standing here. Even in the tent at the back, there was a faint voice of the girl's old mother. Everyone knows that Xu Yifan drove all his family members into the same tent!

looked at Xu Yifan's body that had lost a lot of weight in a day and a night. The resentment in the stomachs of several officers sank unconsciously.

Such an adult, the dynasty has never wow......

In the silence, I heard Xu Yifan ask lightly without looking back, "How is the war?" ”

Chu Wanli smiled: "Corpse Mountain and Sea of Blood!" The Left Association and the Right Association have become a plagiarism situation and have been contacted. I handed over the command to Yunzong, and I came back with the brothers of the first standard and three battalions, this time, we can make North Korea remember for a hundred years! ”

A mountain of corpses and a sea of blood made the officers' grievances come up again, and they all looked at Xu Yifan's back with grievances.

My lord, the meat is almost gone, let's gnaw some bones!

Xu Yifan turned around, didn't look at the eyes of those officers, just stared at Chu Wanli: "Do you know what I asked you to come back for?" ”

Chu Wanli also looked straight at his gaze and said calmly: "I probably understand a little." ”

"The three battalions took over the camp, and the first battalion and the second battalion were ready to be deployed. How long does it take? ”

"If you go back to your lordship, two hours!"

"For a day and a night, with full armament, dry food and ammunition, how far can you march?"

"No less than one hundred and twenty miles!"

One by one, the officers became excited, looking at each other and their eyes exchanged eagerly. Are you going to use them? is also ready to let them march forcibly, did they find out where the mob is assembled, and ask them to run from a distance, capture the thief and capture the king first?

North Korea's mountainous terrain, the troops have only just become an army. Chu Wanli said that he had forcibly marched 120 miles in one day and one night, which was already full of words. However, the officers are confident that they can eat it with one standard!

Xu Yifan took a breath and shook his head slightly. He is now more and more proficient in the art of leadership, and he is thrilling all the way, and if he doesn't have this ability, it will be a waste. After drying the two most elite battalions of men and horses for more than a day, now is the time for the most enthusiastic battle!

"Five days and five nights, eight hundred miles of mountain road! Every day, you will travel a hundred and sixty miles! ”

All the officers were a shock, with a new army, fully armed, a strong new army of 160 miles a day. Sixteen hours a day, five kilometers per hour! And it's a mountainous area like North Korea! What exactly do you want them to do?

Everyone's eyes were on the map, between Pyongyang and Seoul, on a winding road, Zhu Bi vaguely connected the two places. Eight hundred miles is the distance from Pyongyang to Seoul!

The peaceful war in northern Korea was in full swing, but Xu Yifan asked two battalions of 15,600 officers and soldiers to go straight to Seoul!

Chu Wanli's expression became rare and serious, and he quietly gave another military salute: "Please give an order." ”

Xu Yifan looked at the officers he brought out single-handedly, and walked a few steps behind his back: "My 9,000 troops are stationed in Pyongyang, and this riot is coming unexpectedly. There is only one reason, someone is behind the scenes! I want our army to fall into North Korea and do something in the heart of Seoul! The Jiashen Renwu Rebellion is just around the corner! Once another coup d'Γ©tat like Jiashen happens, there will be no second Qing army to defend in Seoul to quell the rebellion!

That guy Rong Lu just wanted to take off Lao Tzu's top and take away Lao Tzu's military power. In his mind, he never thought that the DPRK was the line of interest that our country could not afford to lose. Once lost, the northeast is directly under Shandong, and the door is wide open. The Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea can allow people to come and go freely. They don't think about the interests of the country, I think! There must be an army that appears in Seoul as soon as possible. The reasons are also very reasonable. No one knows if it will affect Seoul if the Donghak Party is in turmoil, and as the suzerainty of North Korea, we must protect their safety, and this is for their sake!

I want you to be nailed to Seoul, and if you get there, chaos has started, give Lao Tzu a peace! As long as we can find a guy surnamed Lee, we can raise a new North Korean political axe! If it's timely, I'll nail it there, and let everyone, before the chaos in the north is settled, have to report to you Chu Wanli if they fart!

In just five days, can you get there?! ”

After that, he stood up straight and stared at Chu Wanli.

All this is the result of careful calculation. The cooperation of time and space made Xu Yifan exhausted. I have never died so many brain cells in a short period of time in my life.

His butterfly wings have indeed flapped the whole history.

He took the Qing army away from Seoul and fought for power. The attention of Qing forces in Korea was also completely concentrated in the Pyongyang area. The heart of Seoul is almost uncared for, and it is unusually empty.

All this naturally gives the opportunity to those who have a heart. As long as he can find a way to trap his forces in the area of Pyongyang, in Seoul, he can almost do whatever he wants! If you want to coup d'Γ©tat, you can coup d'Γ©tat a few times! Once the coup is successful, then there will be no more peace. The forces will soon intervene. The First Sino-Japanese War will also be advanced!

It just so happened that on the territory of North Korea, there was a Donghak Party that burned a haystack at such a point. It is extremely easy to manipulate it with intentional forces. The Dongxue Party rose up almost half a year earlier than in history.

But it was precisely because of this sudden opportunity that he had a chance to break the game!

Some time ago, in order to race against time, he forcibly pushed the army into everything. had to fly high, even against the sky. It has already violated the norms of officialdom. The limelight is so strong that everyone looks sideways. It's natural to get hit. There is also such a righteous envoy as Rong Lu on his head, and Rong Lu has Cixi's support behind him. Although he tried his best to resolve it, he first shocked Yuan Shikai, and then pulled Li Hongzhang from Beiyang to alleviate the withdrawal crisis. But in North Korea's Ronglu, if he dares to force it, he really has no means to resolve it! You can't just pull the flag and rebel now! That would surely die ugly. He is far from the time when everyone expects to return.

The Dongxue Party uprising, the best result is to make trouble in Seoul first! Whether it's a coup d'Γ©tat, a riot or a riot. Rong Lu, as a consolation envoy, cannot escape the blame. We must take this responsibility. However, the coup d'Γ©tat must not be allowed to succeed, and it must be suppressed. Otherwise, a [***] Mao puppet regime was established, and Yue Ben was invited to send troops to support. That Jiawu is really going to be advanced this year! His soldiers are far from being trained!

This time must be controlled. wants to make Rong Lu fall down, but he can become a hero to help the crisis and overcome difficulties.

After repeatedly calculating the time, he sent a large army to start quelling the chaos, and the news would be delivered. Follow the speed of the fast horse pass. It takes more than two days to get to Seoul, give them two days to prepare. It can be a riot in four days, one day the coup is over, and another day until the situation is cleaned up. After detaining two battalions of men for a day and two nights, just as the expected coup d'Γ©tat was successful, the counterinsurgency detachment he sent arrived just in time. Seoul is only five or six hundred guards. He transferred two battalions of fifteen hundred men and gave them four machine guns as secret weapons, how could they be drawn. The current communication is not as convenient and fast as in his time, as long as the coup d'Γ©tat in Seoul can be quelled within two days, then it will be too late to send troops in time! Korea is still a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty!

As long as the chaos can be quelled in time, then his position in North Korea will not be shaken!

Everything is dancing on the tip of the knife, and no one knows if he is right, and no one knows if there will be any variables. But in the face of a dead end that is entangled in one place. He can only break the law like this!

Once decided, there is no turning back.

Xu Yifan and Chu Wanli's eyes collided for a while, and the selection of Chu Wanli was also carefully considered. Li Yunzong wanted to be a standard soldier, so he was ordered to kill people in Pyongyang. And Chu Wanli is much more flexible, and he is smart, in case there are any variables, he can also deal with it. There are two heavy generals under his command, one south and one north, but they are all scattered.

Grandma's, Lao Tzu is also gambling on his net worth!

Xu Yifan's words have already made the blood of the other officers boil, and the adults really still look at us with a high look! Eight hundred miles of flying soldiers, a strong army town of Seoul. That's the capital of a country! Which one is marked with this majesty? Everyone's eyes were on Chu Wanli, wishing that they would quickly receive the order for their commander.

Chu Wanli said quietly: "My lord, when my subordinates arrive in Seoul, do they have the freedom to act with full authority?" ”

Xu Yifan snorted, Chu Wanli, this guy still wants to delegate command with me? Here you go!

"As long as you don't rob, burn, or plunder, everything is up to you! The sky is falling, I'll give you the top! ”

Chu Wanli silently saluted: "The subordinates are just dying." ”

Before it fell, all the officers shouted: "The subordinates are just dying!" ”

The spurs rang out, and more than a dozen officers with boiling black blood turned around to leave. Xu Yifan shouted again: "Remember, five days and five nights, eight hundred miles." I just want North Korea, or tremble under our bayonets and obey! ”

When Chu Wanli turned to leave, Xu Yifan couldn't support it anymore, so he shook his legs and found a chair to sit down, leaning there dejectedly. The mind was used too deeply, and the brain throbbed for a while. At this time, it is very difficult to turn your mind a little. If you want to think about it more carefully, and then improve your game-breaking plan, you can't do it.

He leaned there groggily, suddenly feeling a chill in his hot head, and a pair of small hands gently rubbing his temples for him. When he opened his eyes, he saw a strand of chestnut hair hanging down in front of his eyes. It took him dozens of seconds to remember that this was Li Xuan's hair.

The three girls all asked him to rush to the back tent to live. Of course, Du Juan and Luo Shi have no words, and it is rare that Li Xuan is also obedient. Bing Xue is smart, of course, she understands that he is buying people's hearts. The three girls have been separated from each other and have not seen each other, and now that they live together, they don't know what the conflict will be, but he doesn't have the heart to care about it now.

Just now, Li Xuan actually came over and quietly rubbed his head for him. When did this girl become so sensible?

He opened his eyes and looked back to say thank you or something. I saw Li Xuan standing behind him. One on the left and one on the right is actually Du Juan and Luo Shi, and Du Juan is dressed up to accompany him during his adventures in the South Seas, with a six-wheeled pistol in his waist. Luo Shi didn't know how to play with foreign guns, so he didn't have two daggers, and the snow was bright and bright. The two girls stood behind Li Xuan, but deliberately kept a little distance from her.

Li Xuan stood there, her pretty face covered with beads of sweat. The color of the country made the tents bright. Watching him turn around, he just pursed his lips and smiled mischievously.

Military affairs, for these girls, is just a smile.

He subconsciously reached out and pinched Li Xuan's little hand. Li Xuan's face turned red and wanted to twitch, but he didn't twitch. He was embarrassed in front of Cuckoo and Luo Shi, so he had to pretend that nothing happened. Cuckoo and Rosch's small mouths pouted.

This undisguised innocence made Xu Yifan's tight strings loosen suddenly.

I can't fall...... In addition to usurping dreams, I also want to protect them......

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

At this time, on the land of Pyongan Province in North Korea, the teams were well-equipped, and in just two days, they had enough blood. The new army, which had sharpened its murderous spirit, began to gradually turn into a joint attack on the heart of Pyongyang from the beginning of the sweep.

Bands of cavalry came and went, gathering scattered troops from all over the place. One by one, the orders were transmitted, the route of travel, the time of rendezvous, the direction of the attack, the position of the station...... It's all going to be released.

The scattered and sweeping new troops were assembled from the outposts and from the detachments into battalions. Controlled every road around Pyongyang Province. On the way, villages were pacified. A large number of people who were involved in the riot were frightened by the bloody repression of the previous days, woke up from the violent carnival, and abandoned the murder weapon to become good citizens again. When those soldiers lined up in a neat line and drove through the villages like a forest of bayonets, the Korean people who had once rioted again went on a business trip with a smile on their faces, and delivered large and small bowls of water.

The riot just started, and under the sound of gunfire and the precise dispatch of the new army, it was suppressed without mercy, and there was some weakness in the follow-up.

It was Li Yunzong who was in such a precise control of the counterinsurgency troops. Chu Wanli was hurriedly transferred, and all the command power fell on Li Yunzong. He was really a natural commander, and he mastered the distribution of all troops through cavalry exchanges. He also urged those inexperienced staff officers to mark the changes in the distribution of troops at all times and keep abreast of the movements.

Everyone else has times when they are tired and tired, occasionally distracted, or sick to the miserable situation after the repression. It seems that all he has in his mind are the number, the quantity, the stock of ammunition, and the execution of the mission. The whole person is like a cold bayonet. With an unemotional attitude, there is also a lot of energy. Let the troops turn with his command.

Such a recruit has been training for two months, teaching combat for only one month, and it is too new to be a new unit. In just two days, it has changed from a scattered sweep to a centripetal encirclement of Pyongyang Province, the center of the riots!

The position of the famous general seems to be prepared for him. Just wait for him to sit on it.

In the army, he doesn't have a good reputation like Chu Wanli, and he doesn't like to go to Xu Yifan if he has nothing to do. Xu Yifan usually has a mild attitude, but he is also quite casual, and many descendants of the officers and Xu Yifan can't help laughing. Xu Yifan is also the name of the bastard rabbit cub. But for Li Yunzong, Xu Yifan has always been a formal receptionist, and he has a little respect for his subordinates.

All the officers were tested in this bloody training and found their proper position.

"Junmen, is it time to charge? I look at the Dongxue Party on the other side, they don't have the courage to rush over. A staff officer of the headquarters of the association boldly made a suggestion to Li Yunzong.

The headquarters of their right association was on a high slope, and Li Yun did not sit even if he had a maza, and stood straight on the hillside. Raising the binoculars, he looked intently at the other side.

The three battalions advanced in a half-arc, driving all the die-hard insurgents inside. The more you gather, the more you gather. But when they came to the edge of a small river, for some reason, they did not retreat any longer, and the three infantry battalions also began to gather centripetally, forming a semi-encirclement posture. Lined up and confronted them.

At the foot of their hillside, there stood the officers and men of the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Standard of the Right Association, holding their guns and standing in four companies. Quietly waiting for the officer's order. In front of the small river opposite, on the gentle hillside, there was a sea of people, and I don't know how many ragged Dongxue party disciples there were. They were all covered in mud and water, some were still stained with blood, and roughly estimated, there were four or five thousand people. Holding a hoe and stick, a messy flag flutters behind him. Frightened, looking at the other side.

All the rifles of the third battalion had already been loaded with bayonets, and when they looked from the direction of the Dongxue Sect, they saw a cold light flashing.

Gradually, a voice sounded from the other side, getting louder and louder, until it turned into a shout. They used Chinese, and if you read carefully, it was a poem.

"The golden bottle of wine is the blood of thousands of people, and the jade plate is delicacies and the surname is ointment. When the candle tears fall, the people cry, and the song is high and the complaint is high...... The grievances are high! The grievances are high! ”

The roar kept echoing, and many of the party members who had been injured also stood up straight.

The staff officers on the hillside also quietly stood up straight and looked at each other. The original relaxed smile is also a little gone.

Li Yunzong put down his binoculars, his face was as calm as if he had just woken up: "We are approaching the base camp of commanding this riot...... It is necessary to catch these bastards as soon as possible and free up their forces, and the adults will call on them at any time. ”

The officers were silent, and Li Yunzong lightly ordered: "Order the battalion officer to launch a charge." Formation or something, you don't need me to teach them, do you? Shoot first, approach with bayonets, drive them down the river! ”

The staff officers looked at each other, but no one moved for a moment.

Li Yunzong looked at them, turned around and walked towards his guard, and reached out to pull the reins of the horse that the guard was holding. When he turned over and got on his horse, he pulled the horse's head and turned it at the staff officers who had only just received some of the accelerated training.

There was a rare expression on his face, but he couldn't tell what it was. Only the gaze in his eyes, as sharp as a knife, flashed.

"Remember, what nation we are! As long as it is for the benefit of my own nation, I am not afraid of going to hell myself! Command, forward! ”

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

In Seoul, the night has gradually shrouded. The heat of the day has also subsided a little.

In the backyard of the Qing State Propaganda and Comfort Minister's Office, several carriages were busy preparing. Everything that adults need to use on the road has been carried up in an endless stream. Everyone was busy and sweating, and the well-dressed patrol officers ran around the team, commanding loudly.

"Slow down! This is an adult's hookah, and the cigarette holder is jadeite, jadeite! ”

"It's not this net bucket, it's the red paint! This one is old, who still fucking keeps it? You bastards, you really can't do anything! ”

"Wine, wine! Beware of touching it! The old cellar of the original bubble has been moved here for thousands of miles, and it has been spilled and broken. Chase your badges and drive you to walk! Go out and call Huazi and swim back to Tianjin! ”

People were busy and noisy. From time to time, people bump into each other, and scolding in various accents sounds. Suddenly, I don't know who booed: "The adults are here!" Everyone suddenly fell silent, and they were busy calling a thousand times: "My lord! ”

In the night, it was Rong Lu holding a silver hookah, and under the two officials carrying lanterns to light the way, he swayed over. When he saw everyone saluting, he waved his hand kindly.

It seems that Rong Daqin is poor today, and he is not in a bad mood.

He was also accompanied by a member of the old negotiation office, just bent down and waited to listen to Rong Lu's orders.

"In the daytime, you still walk around in a carriage with my Qinchajie flag, flying films. Let others think that I am still in Seoul, there is no Xu Yifan's ear here, but I can't let him know that I am on the road! ”

The committee members hurriedly bent down to agree.

Rong Lu smiled, picked up the paper and blew it, and went to make a fire in the smoke nest. But the commissioner didn't have long eyes and added: "My lord, what if...... When you were not in Seoul, what happened, and who did your subordinates ask for? ”

Rong Lu's face sank, and his cigarette stopped lighting: "What's the change?" What could have changed? Half a month of work back and forth, can the sky still fall? You're all old negotiators, and I can't handle it when I'm not there? It's just dragging, it's such an easy thing to be an official, and you still want me to teach you? What a bastard! I also went to bring the Praetorian Guards back, in order to suppress Seoul! I left Seoul for half a month, if anyone revealed the news of my departure. I don't participate in it, the top is not painful or itchy, and I donate it back if I have silver...... Lao Tzu is a member of the military law, do you understand! ”

The beads of sweat of the committee member came down, and he didn't dare to let go of half a fart. Only the one who retreated silently.

Rong Lu lost the mood to smoke and stuffed the hookah to the errand officer. Take a walk with your hands behind your back and grind your teeth.

Xu Yifan, Xu Yifan, you can scare Yuan Shikai, and you can pull Li Hongzhang to help you speak. Now Lao Tzu came over in person, see how you jumped? One mountain does not allow two tigers, Lao Tzu still wants to climb up again, can you be cured?

He looked up at the night sky of Seoul again, there were a little clouds in the sky, and it was a good day again. In the dark, Seoul was quiet.

In such a small country, where rabbits don't poop, what else can be a big deal?

Joke!
