Chapter 189: People's Hearts Are Private (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

The rout, hundreds of routs fled to Mukden from everywhere, and more of them were refugees fleeing from the war, and the refugees who dragged their children and daughters all looked at those officers and soldiers with sad expressions, and the soldiers were all brought by those routs, who could kill a family for a bite of food, and set fire to a village for a piece of clothing. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Along the way, I don't know how many people suffered from the military disaster, so they lost their families and homes, and had to go into exile with the defeated soldiers, these miserable refugees did not arouse the sympathy of the government, and for these refugees who lost their homes, they fled to Shengjing originally meant to go to the government's asylum. But in fact, even General Sheng Jing can no longer maintain military discipline.

For General Sheng Jing, being able to avoid the camp roar is already considered dutiful. Now, however, there was not even a chance to avoid desertion and a roar in the camp -- the battle of Liaoyang completely annihilated nearly 20,000 training troops and defense troops in the three provinces of Fengji, and there were no more usable soldiers in the entire territory of Fengtian except for 20,000 or 30,000 unused banner soldiers.

"Commander Zuo, how is this good, how is this good......"

In the Shengjing General's Mansion, Yulu, the Shengjing General who took office three years ago, paced back and forth, his hands held each other from time to time, and his face was full of panic, which could not blame him, just a few hours ago, Liaoyang was taken by Tang Shun.

How far is this Liaoyang from Shengjing? According to the speed of the rebellious march, this Shengjing will definitely be captured by him tomorrow, and now he, the general of Shengjing, will not escape, nor will he fight. fled, even if he fled to the capital, he would inevitably have his head cut off.

Since he entered the world from the Qing Dynasty, this Shengjing has been particularly valued by the imperial court. Although the emperor was in Beijing, at most he only occasionally came back to worship his ancestors. Shengjing is for them. It's just a concept of hometown. But no matter what, this is also the land of the ancestors' dragon prosperity.

If you lose a city in the pass, it's nothing, but after all, this is Shengjing, the "land of dragon rejuvenation" of the ancestors, and losing this place is no different from losing your head, and as the general of Shengjing City, he naturally wants to control the military and political affairs in the Shengjing area, and at the same time, he must also specialize in ruling the banner soldiers and the banner people, in other words. When the time comes, it will be cut off on his head.

You can't escape. Battleable ...... What can you do with thousands of banner soldiers in Shengjing? Even the defense army led by Zuo Guigui couldn't stop Tang Wei's new army, let alone the banner soldiers?

"My lord, I have been favored by the emperor for generations, and I can only repay the court with death......"

Towards the direction of Beijing with a fist, Zuotu's face is full of generosity, if you don't know him, you will definitely think that he is a loyal minister, but this "loyal minister", when he rushed to the aid of Liaoyang's Zuo Guigui, only twenty miles out of the city. That is, he hurriedly withdrew to Shengjing, and according to him, the road ahead was occupied by the rebel army. Naturally, there is no way to rescue.

As for that Zuo Guigui also died in the fire, well, that's just the emperor's inconvenience, what does it have to do with him?

"My lord, I can't fight, I can't fight......"

Just when Zuotu generously wanted to be a loyal minister of the imperial court, Zhao Guoli, the director of the General's Mansion on the side, hurriedly dissuaded him, as Yulu's cronies, he naturally knew the "ability" of this Shengjing Banner Battalion, with these more than 10,000 banner soldiers, he could stop Tang Yi's 100,000 army, not only could not stop it, but maybe even destroyed the entire city of Shengtian.

"My lord, now the 100,000 rebel army of Tang is in the midst of a strong army, and our army can stop it......"

Zhao Guoli is not worried about being convicted for his words, he couldn't be clearer about what Yulu is thinking in his heart, for him, to be a loyal minister of the Great Qing Kingdom? How many people in the Qing Kingdom are willing to be loyal ministers?

As for whether the 100,000 army is straight or fake, the imperial court does not know, and General Sheng Jing naturally does not know, but for Yulu, all the blame can be pushed on the "100,000 army", the strength is not as good as people, even if there are occasional "defeats", it is inevitable, this 100,000 army has also become the "unstoppable army" in Zhao Guoli's mouth.

"Zhao Guoli!"

Listening to the master's persuasion, Zuotu's face suddenly showed anger.

"This can't be fought, is it possible that you want adults to surrender to the enemy!"

Surrender to the enemy!

The moment he heard this word, Yulu quickly glanced nervously to the left and right.

"Don't talk nonsense, we are all servants of the emperor, and we can surrender to the enemy......"

When Yulu spoke, his small eyes were full of struggle, although he was a banner man, it didn't mean that he was willing to lose his life.

If you surrender to the enemy to save your head, you ...... You can really think about it!

"My lord, it is a noble white flag, and it cannot be lowered ......"

Zhao Guoli couldn't do two things in a row, which only made Yulu's heart annoyed, this can't be surrendered, can't fight, so how can he get it, do you have to cut off your own head...... Is it available?

"My lord, the only way to plan today is ......"

Pressing his voice slightly, Zhao Guoli looked at Yulu and said softly.

"Negotiate with Tang Rebellion!"

Negotiation!

Without waiting for Zhao Guoli to finish speaking, Yulu waved his hand again and again.

"Negotiation, from ancient times to the present, has there been a government and a chaotic negotiation? I can't talk about it, if I really talk about it, and the court blames it, then, so what! ”

Since Yulu didn't have the heart to fight, nor did he have the courage to surrender to the enemy, and even the courage to negotiate, he couldn't mention it, for him, if he didn't have the responsibility of defending the territory and couldn't say anything about withdrawing, maybe he would have withdrawn a hundred miles away, and he would still stay in this place, waiting for Tang Rebellious's 100,000 army to come to the door.

"Ben, how can this official be for his own life and ruin the affairs of the court!"

Although he seemed to want to maintain the dignity of the court, his voice showed his struggle, and negotiation might not be a bad choice.

"My lord, the reason why I let my lord not hesitate to endure humiliation and steal my life and negotiate with chaos is that what I did is not the life of an adult, and how can the life of an adult be compared with the country of my Great Qing Dynasty? What I am doing here is the society of my Great Qing Dynasty, and it is for the dragon vein of our Great Qing Dynasty! Please think again! ”

As soon as Zhao Guoli's words fell, Yulu immediately understood the meaning of his words - Sanling! Compared with Shengjing, Sanling is the most important, that is where the dragon vein of the Qing Dynasty is, if the Sanling is lost or the Sanling is destroyed by the rebel army, then the time will ...... Don't talk about his Yuroku's head. I'm afraid that the heads of the whole family will be difficult to preserve.

"Diligence, diligence. Please also ask Brother Nian Qin to save me! ”

Zhao Guoli reminded him like this. Yulu doesn't know what the severity is, if he loses Shengjing, he won't necessarily lose his head, but if he loses Sanling, this head can't be saved.

Facing Yulu's gaze, Zhao Guoli's right hand opened the paper fan violently, fanned it pretendly, and then spit out four words.

"Surrender the land, protect the tomb!"

When this sentence came out, Zhao Guoli, who opened the folding fan in his hand, just looked at Yulu. Seeing that he sat on the chair suddenly as if his soul was not possessed, looking at his soulless and depressed appearance, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he bowed to him again.

"My lord, when the interruption continues, the body is in turmoil, if you wait until the rebel army occupies the three tombs, and then negotiate, I am afraid it will be too late, and please ask the adults to plan for me in the Qing Dynasty. Sacrifice personal honor and disgrace. ”

When Zhao Guoli's words fell, Zuotu and the others, who were still impassioned, got up and bowed to Yulu.

"Please plan for me. Sacrificing personal honor and disgrace, mark that you are willing to share this humiliation with adults......"

The bright moon rose into the sky, and the roads in Shengjing City became brighter. Everywhere on the street, you can see the spirited, frightened bannermen, although they are holding foreign guns in their hands, but there is no trace of war will on their faces, war, how to fight, even Zuo Guigui and the elite army like Lian Jun can't block the courage of others, not to mention them, this will be able to carry a gun in this Fengtian City to maintain, it is worthy of the landing silver.

In the yamen of General Shengjing, the electric lights were on, and on the way to the prison, Zhao Guoli walked slowly, at this time his face was hidden with some pride, after entering the prison, he looked at several managers of the Korean Railway Company who were imprisoned in the prison, and hurriedly walked over to the long bow.

"Oh, Manager Fang, Manager Song, Chen Xieban, Section Chief Liu, these days, there are many offenses, many offenses, and ......"

While apologizing, Zhao Guoli motioned to the cell boss to knock the cell door.

"Lord Zhao, ...... are you?"

Fang Jingzhi looked at Zhao Guoli's appearance and immediately realized that this mansion seemed to have the upper hand.

"Manager Fang, I have been offended a lot these days, I have been offended, please be considerate, after all, my family is also taking the court's money, no, my family entrusted me to hold a banquet in the back hall to apologize...... A few people please ......"

Apologetic in his words, Zhao Guoli's eyes looked at Liu Quanzong from time to time, who was the main one he was looking for, but that Section Chief Liu hung his head, all of them looked like they were arranged by others, and it seemed a little inconvenient to see that Zhao Guoli smelled the sour smell on everyone's body, and hurriedly said.

"Oh, look at my brain, a few of you will freshen up first, and let a few gentlemen suffer, suffer!"

A moment later, in a house in the backyard of the general's yamen, Zhao Guoli's expression was extremely humble, and Liu Quanzong, who had just taken a bath, was sitting there sipping tea, and he didn't even open his eyes.

"Section Chief Liu, this, this Yulu has agreed, but, but we have to have a negotiation partner, right?"

The reason why Zhao Guoli worked so hard was not entirely because of the reward of 100,000 taels he had promised earlier, the reward of 100,000 taels of silver was important, but more importantly, Dong Weng had no other choice than that.

As General Shengjing's staff, he clearly knows that now Beiyang is not going up, at least for the time being, Beiyang Yamen is transferring troops and sending generals, and the team that was originally scheduled to be transferred to the south will be transferred to Mukden, but this will take time, and on the other hand, whether the Beiyang Yamen will do its best to pacify Tang is still a word, after all, there are a few people in the Qing Dynasty who don't know what the "Eight Governors Discuss Politics", and all the governors and yamen are watching, looking at him, Tang Ziran can go that far, if Tang Ziran's troops can cross the Shanhai Pass...... Not to mention, at that time, except for the "Eight Governors Discussing Politics", the imperial court is afraid that there will be no other choice.

Even in Zhao Guoli's view, there may even be a "Nine Governors" at that time, no one can say for sure what is going on in the world, the key issue is to keep the present, just like what he is doing now, at least on the surface, it is a crime to keep the glory and wealth of the adult, and it is a crime to lose Shengjing, but it is a merit to keep the imperial tomb.

"If ......"

Opening his eyes, Liu Quanzong stared at Zhao Guoli and said.

"If I'm not mistaken, there should be a force marching towards Tanglin now!"

Liu Quanzong did not guess wrong, there was indeed a force marching towards Tanglin, although the first division adjusted the rhythm of the attack and did not immediately attack Shengjing, and the main force continued to attack in the direction of Guannai. As for this, Sheng Jing seems to the staff of the new army. It's already a ripe peach. With more than 10,000 banner soldiers inside and outside the city, how can they stop the new army.

"Section Chief Liu......"

With a shy face, Zhao Guoli did not respond immediately, indeed, Tanglin kept sending people to say that the rebel army was approaching the cemetery, this Tanglin was outside the city, if Donglin was robbed, the adults were there......

"So. Please also ask Section Chief Liu to show me the way! ”

"Road ......"

After pondering for a moment, Liu Quanzong stared at Zhao Guoli and asked rhetorically.

"Lu, it's not nothing, didn't I tell Lord Zhao before, as long as the general hands over Shengjing, our army can guarantee that it will never damage Tanglin in the slightest, how about it, is the general willing to hand over Shengjing?"

General Sheng Jing, look at the scenery. But this scenery also means responsibility, just like now. Even if it is to hold Shengjing, if Tanglin is lost, and is attacked by the war, when the time comes, not only will it be fruitless, but it will be held accountable, when the horse fool and other people rebelled, but only attacked Yongling, which led to the resignation of General Shengjing afterwards, if Donglin is lost, General Shengjing will naturally be held responsible, and Liu Quanzong is holding his life.

Whether it is a threat or a warning, although it is really a bit of a "subordinate" to coerce the ancestral tomb, what Liu Quanzong, as an intelligence officer, knows is to reduce the pressure on the troops to the greatest extent and help Fuzhong achieve control of Fengtian, and this Tanglin has naturally become his bargaining chip.

"Liu, Section Chief Liu, this handover of land, handover of land, it always needs to be discussed face-to-face between the two sides, and then it will be handed over again......"

didn't wait for Zhao Guoli to finish speaking, but listened to Liu Quanzong.

"Lord Zhao, tell your general, he can not hand over this land, but this battle will still be fought after all, not to mention that there are no eyes for swords and guns, if there are chaotic people who take advantage of the chaos to burn Tanglin, just like the Old Summer Palace back then, this responsibility is not in my Unified Prison Mansion!"

This voice threatened only to make Zhao Guoli's forehead suddenly break out in a cold sweat, the Old Summer Palace is just a royal garden, but Donglin is the ancestral tomb of the Qing Dynasty, how can it be tolerated.

"This ......"

Gritting his teeth, Zhao Guoli stared at Liu Quanzong and asked rhetorically.

"If the adults hand over Fengtian, I don't know if the house can guarantee the safety of Tanglin? Can you agree to send troops to defend us? Can it also keep adults safe? ”

As Yulu's staff, even now Zhao Guoli is still standing on the position of his own Dongweng, as for what the imperial court is not within the scope of his consideration, he Zhao has never eaten the court's Yulu, as long as he can keep the adult.

"If the house is willing to be written in white and black paper, what does it matter if the adults hand over the land?"

When Liu Quanzong left Fengtian with the unfinished "Fengtian Jiaodi Regulations" and looked back at the dilapidated walls of Fengtian City, he couldn't help but have such a thought in his heart.

The Qing army has lost its heart!

The Qing generals who were lost when they heard the wind only thought about how to save their lives, as for what the imperial court was not in their consideration, even the Shengjing general Yulu, who was the noble in the banner, was also the same, did the so-called "Great Qing Kingdom" still have a point?

"There is no hope for the Qing Kingdom, and China has a way forward!"

The corners of his lips raised slightly, Liu Quanzong muttered to himself unwillingly, and at the same time whipped the horse's body, and galloped towards the defense line of the new army, so as to inform the base camp of the news as soon as possible.

“…… All the armies in Feng Province were abolished, the ordnance was confiscated, and all kinds of ordnance were transferred to the new army for management, and General Sheng Jing could set up horses to patrol and arrest to protect the imperial tomb. The new army stationed in North Korea was stationed in Shengjing and other places; In order to maintain order, in view of the fact that officials in various localities have fled one after another, the civil affairs of various localities are temporarily maintained by civil affairs officials dispatched by the Unified Supervision Office in the DPRK......"

In the Incheon Local Civil Affairs Office, Tang Haoran, who had his headquarters in front of Incheon and was ready to move in at any time, listened to the report, and the smile on his face grew thicker, so that when he heard the last clause, "Bong Province is temporarily supervised by the Unified Supervision Office," he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

“…… A good one is temporarily supervised by the Unified Supervision Office, the word "supervisor" is used well, this Liu Quanzong is a talent! I think I can be transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs! This supervision can be implemented not only in Mukden, but also in the whole of Northeast China. ”

This praise comes from the bottom of my heart, the so-called supervision of the three eastern provinces, on the surface, he still admits the "Qing State", and now he still "retains" the Qing State's control over the Northeast, but the sentence of "supervision" has "supervised" the administrative power into the hands of the Unified Supervision Office, well, it is nothing more than that the Korean Unified Supervision Office will become the "Northeast Unified Supervision Office" in the future, as for the so-called imperial court, no one really takes them to heart.

"The defeat is like a mountain, this Yulu ......"

Shaking his head and sighing, Li Guangguang looked at the red flags on the map that represented the new army stationed in Korea, and the red flags had already controlled almost the entire Fengtian and half of Jilin, thinking that the imperial court was so poor, how could he not sigh between his lips.

"My lord, it's a pity that our strength is not good! If we really have an army of 100,000......"

After a pause, Li Guangguang stopped speaking, 100,000 troops, this is the propaganda of the unified supervision government since the start of the army, the new army stationed in Korea is called 100,000, and now this seems to have become the prevarication of the Manchu military generals at all levels, everything is attributed to the many generals and generals of the garrison in Korea, and they are not their opponents, but in fact? Not to mention 100,000, there are not even 40,000, if there really are 100,000 people, how can they "shrink their hands and feet" like they are now, and the troops are also stretched thin.

"What if you don't have 100,000 people?"

With a smile on his face, he threw the telegram on the map table, and the unprecedented victory only made Tang Haoran say with confidence.

"Without 100,000 people, we can still fight in the capital and force the Manchu Qing to sign the alliance under the city, besides, this soldier is insufficient, we can recruit, we can recruit, and we can let the enemy send it to us! There are so many captives, you can't let them eat rice! ”
