With the landing of the Yoshimasa Mixed Brigade on Oshima in Incheon, North Korea, this war between China and China was inevitable.

In the Fengtai battalion, two divisions of the New Army once again underwent personnel adjustments. The original principle of equal distribution of combat strength was broken, and all the units with the strongest combat strength were reorganized into companies as units, with Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, and Meng Enyuan serving as the commanders of the first to third infantry regiments respectively, and Lei Zhenchun serving as the commander of the artillery regiment directly under the First Division. Ouyang Zhenhua personally served as the commander of the First Division. The other units were renumbered as the Second Division. This is a plan that has been set a long time ago, and there is only one purpose, to prevent the internal annihilation from bringing out the establishment and personnel situation of the new army, and there are two objects, Yue Ben and the Empress Dowager Cixi.

The staff officers of the military academy also entered their respective posts according to their duties. The staff officers who were originally assigned to the combat units of the new army have all been reorganized into the new army and have begun to familiarize themselves with and temper the troops. Under the leadership of Michael, some of the staff officers of the General Staff Headquarters went to Jinzhou to arrange matters related to the establishment of the front-line staff headquarters, and the rest of the personnel stayed at the military academy under the leadership of Wang Shizhen and waited for the order to be issued before leaving for Jinzhou.

And the reconnaissance company, which has always been regarded as a forbidden place, even the emperor only enters once every two months. This time, however, after dark, a group of officers and soldiers in yellow jackets was ushered in. The gate slowly opened, and the officers and soldiers who had been inspected walked in. The leader of the team is cold. This was the second time he had gone in, and the last time he had gone in to arrange the first guards when the campus had just been built.

After entering the door, another wall appeared inside. Inside this inner wall is where the reconnaissance company trains. The internal guards were all the responsibility of the reconnaissance company's own people, leaving only the external guards by his men. Now the reconnaissance company will all be dispatched, and this time he will bring officers and men to receive the internal guards. However, he directly found Yang Dongzi, the commander of the reconnaissance company.

In the room, the two stood opposite each other.

"Yang Dongzi, what's going on with Qian Sande? Why did he suddenly enter Sun Yuwen's house at night? ”

"Qian Sande?" Yang Dongzi said: "No, the group he belongs to is ready to lurk in the capital as a backup." If necessary, they can cooperate with the CIA to deal with the spies. "Reconnaissance even more than 300 people Yang Dongzi can name it, Qian Sande, Yang Dongzi knows, usually the training performance is average. I don't talk much, and the relationship with my classmates is neither good nor bad. is also relatively honest, and there was nothing abnormal in the previous training in the Northeast. Why did he run to Sun Yuwen's house this time? But there was no sign of it.

"If it weren't for the emperor's fear that some officials would collude with Yu himself, let me spy on me. I'm afraid I won't be able to find it yet. Staring at Yang Dongzi coldly: "You should know very well, what are we setting up this new army for?" If something bad happens to you, even destroying your nine clans will not be enough to take the blame. ”

"Lord Leng, I really don't know. I will ask the emperor for my guilt. I'll do it myself. ”

The night was dark, and the lights on the streets had long since been extinguished. The back door of Sun Yuwen's mansion quietly opened a crack, and a figure walked out gently. He looked left and right, saw that there was no one around, turned around and went out, and ran gently against the wall.

Approaching the corner of the street, he stopped suddenly, pressed his back against the wall, and listened attentively with the gun he had behind his back in his hand. In the distance, there was no sound in the street, except for a few barking dogs. I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, but I always felt that something was wrong. He waited quietly for a while, but he decided to go back, but he had only taken two steps. Four or five ropes hung from the dense branches of trees that jutted out of the wall, and on each rope a soldier with a gun slid down, while a figure moved rapidly on the other side of the street. He immediately turned and ran, but six gunmen were already blocking his way on the other side of the street. All he could do was raise his hand and have his gun unloaded. He knew Yang Dongzi, the commander of the reconnaissance company. Yang Dongzi made a few hand gestures, and all the people were like ghosts on the street, and they didn't make a sound from beginning to end. It's like a mime.

Inside the General Staff of the Military Academy

After Wang Shizhen sent Kou Liancai away, he closed the door and opened the letter sent by Kou Liancai. At first glance, it was a list, a list of all the members of the officer corps. The names of Ouyang Zhenhua, Duan Qirui, and Feng Guozhang jumped on the list. Wang Shizhen smiled secretly, these two guys still want to test themselves. Wang Shizhen looked at it carefully, and this list included most of the middle and senior officers in the new army, and many low-level officers were also among them. And the names of more junior officers and ordinary soldiers were also included in the objects to be examined. The important surnames on this list are self-evident, if they fall into the hands of the queen mother's party, the consequence will be that the emperor will completely become a puppet. Now, the emperor can hand over this list to himself, which in itself is a great trust in it.

The emperor also has another meaning, that is, no matter whether Beiyang can win the First Sino-Japanese War or not, the new army will definitely be transferred to the battlefield. As long as he can win in the end, the emperor will definitely expand the new army, and the people on these lists will become the backbone of the new army. At the same time, it is also a kind of reminder that the general staff should try to avoid or use as little as possible the troops of these people in the strategic arrangement, some of the tactical requirements that must die. On the one hand, we must let these people go to the battlefield, and we must protect these people as much as possible. At the end of the list is written: Burn immediately after reading.

Wang Shizhen smiled slightly and stretched the list towards the brazier. Where can he remember in such a short period of time, he just wrote down the numbers of the companies with the largest number of people. Actually, when it really came to the battlefield, where did you care so much.

Shunfeng Logistics has a warehouse in the northeast of Beijing. But what no one knows is that there is a secret room underneath this warehouse. This chamber has a secret passage that leads directly to the special forces training ground. Few people know, except for the personnel of the special forces themselves. This is why cadets have never seen anyone come out of the restricted area of the reconnaissance company.

The chamber is brightly lit. All the 85 people who had not yet been transferred out were ordered by Yang Dongzi to return to this secret room. Everyone put their guns down, shoulder to shoulder, full of huddles together. Leave a small piece in the middle.

"Shen Conghan, you know the rules here very well. Speaking out for yourself will save you some sin. ”

"Company commander, you recognized the wrong person." Qian Sande, who was tied and kneeling on the ground, asked with a confused face: "Company commander, I am Sandezi." ”

"You didn't move when you pulled it out for drills. You are hiding deeply. He stared coldly at Qian Sande: "Who is Shen Ruoyun?" What is the relationship between Sun Yuwen and you? ”

It turned out that Qian Sande, who was kneeling on the ground and was full of grievances, suddenly stood up with a sneer: "Since you all know, I won't hide it." Shen Ruoyun is my father, and my family has been honored by Sun Zhongtang as a filial piety adult. Yang Dongzi, I still respect you as the company commander, it is better to take refuge in Lord Zhongtang and the Queen Mother like me. At that time, I should say a few kind words for you in front of Lord Zhongtang, and how about sharing the glory and wealth together? ”

"Your Excellency." The door of the secret room was pushed open, and someone hurriedly whispered to Leng Jun.

Leng Jun's face changed after hearing this, and while waving his hand to send the person out, he whispered to Yang Dongzi again.

"Myself?" A panicked voice popped out of Yang Dongzi's mouth, he grabbed Shen Conghan's collar, and said viciously, "What I hate most in my life is the word betrayal, you not only betrayed all the students of the Army Academy, but also betrayed the emperor, and you dare to speak out in front of me?" Do you know that because of you, hundreds of thousands of troops in the entire Qing Dynasty will be in a desperate situation? ”

Shen Conghan struggled and said, "You think that if you kill me, you will be a hundred, tell you, I still know that there are people from Prince Li." ”

"Who is it?"

"Why am I telling you?"

"When you die, you pretend to be a mad dog." Yang Dongzi took out a sound of "bang" with a gun, and Shen Conghan opened a hole in the top of his head. Leng Jun, who couldn't stop it, could only watch the red and white flow to the ground.

"Everyone go out, I have something to discuss with Company Commander Yang." The grim expression was a little abnormal.

After everyone went out, he asked coldly, "Are you killing people?" ”

"Lord Leng can suspect that it's me, but I still have to say it. If you don't kill Shen Conghan, it is tantamount to planting the seeds of distrust in the reconnaissance company. Now that the great enemy is present, we must not disturb the morale of the army. The people in the reconnaissance company, including me, can investigate with confidence. ”

"I will report this matter to the emperor, and you can ask the emperor for guilt." Say cold and leave.

"Lord Leng, all the principal and deputy leaders of the reconnaissance company know the strategic arrangements for this battle. I believe that Shen Conghan will definitely tell Sun Yuwen everything. As for how Sun Yuwen colluded with Yue himself, he will tell Yue how many things are beyond our control. I also had to inform the General Staff of the contingency plan first. Yang Dongzi paused after speaking: "We must not let a person who says he is alive to bring the news out." ”

"Don't worry about this, I know how to deal with my own affairs." After speaking, he hugged his fist coldly: "It's good to do it yourself." ”

Sun Yuwen colluded with himself? This news startled Guangxu. Brand new historical events, things that have never appeared in the history books come out of nowhere. When you think about it, it's not impossible. Think about the Song Dynasty, how many high-ranking officials in the court were sold by the Jin. As a result, as long as Song and Jin went to war, weren't it these officials who were sold to advocate peace in the court? In that life, Sun Yuwen was a peacemaker. After the defeat of the Qing Dynasty, Li Hongzhang sent the peace treaty to the capital and waited for Guangxu to cover it with a jade seal. Guangxu was reluctant and wanted to tear up the agreement and fight again, but no one spoke to the Manchu ministers. Only this Sun Yuwen finally forced Guangxu to cover the jade seal.

Sun Yuwen still has this secret matter. Guangxu had a verdict on this Sun Yuwen in his heart, but he asked: "How did I deal with it?" ”

"Go back to the emperor, just in case, it's all ......" Leng Jun suddenly knelt down: "I didn't ask the emperor for instructions in advance, please ask the emperor to punish him." ”

"Sudden events, you have the right to dispose of. How to deal with the aftermath? ”

"The scene has been disguised as a gang to break into the house and kill all the family members. The minion has already let people know Lord Zhou's side. He has someone in the yamen, and the matter will be decided accordingly. The minions have already investigated, and those who say that they are in disguise, and the surrounding neighbors do not know. I said that I would not be troubled by this. It's just that if he knows whether he will arouse suspicion, the slave will not dare to assert. ”

Liu Fen is Li Hongzhang's nephew and is currently the secretary of the Ordnance Bureau. At this time, he was comfortably holding three small yellow croakers (i.e., gold bars), and his eyes were showing a greedy gaze: "I said Ishikawa, what do you want me to do when you give me something this time?" ”

"Liu Jun is really refreshing." Ishikawa Wuichi said happily: "My friend is going to send a batch of goods to Qingguo recently, and I heard that Beiyang is going to send warships to support recently. You want me to help you ask, when are you going, it's easy to avoid. ”

"You've got a lot of friends." Liu Fen spoke, but his eyes did not leave the yellow fish: "21 is to go, 22 is to Ashan." 23And he returned. Tell your friends to be careful. ”

"I heard that there was a red card in Zuixianglou, so I just went to see it. Liu Jun, are you interested? ”

Zhou Qin's subordinates, who stayed in Tianjin, did not notice that Liu Fen's carriage was filled with two people. (To be continued.) )
