"The emperor has arrived!" With the voice of the eunuch's male duck, these ministers and ministers who stood at the height of the Qing Dynasty's Beijing official system, as well as the prince Jiuqing Mountain, shouted long live and worshipped. I heard the sound of footsteps, and then there was the laughter that Emperor Tongzhi couldn't hide: "Zhongqing is flat, flat!" ”

Everyone got up and peeked up. I saw Emperor Tongzhi wearing a court robe, sitting on the throne, smiling and twisting the pearls. The pale face of the past is now almost shining. Seeing that the ministers all got up and took their positions, the ruler said with a smile: "I called up today, just to tell you about it, Liu Xian's good news has come, and I have already asked the empress dowager of the two palaces to say hello." The Empress Dowager's mercy is that this battle will be fought in the Qing Dynasty!

Foreigners have been showing up to Dongying these days, and this momentum can't let it rise. My Qing Dynasty has suffered a setback, and it doesn't matter if it is defeated by foreigners, little Japan, wolf ambition, and categorically cannot tolerate it.

I have come to ask the secretaries what they mean, how to carry this burden! Emperor Tongzhi spoke in a brisk tone, and at the end of his speech, he almost laughed.

Prince Gong and the old god stood on the ground, not moving. Except for turning the white eyes of Emperor Tongzhi at the beginning, there was no other action. Of course, this is what others see, and the real fact is that although this sixth master does not move on his face, he is sighing in his heart. "Alas, if you want to say that the fourth brother is also shrewd all his life, why did he give birth to such a bastard thing?"

Don't you take this opportunity to praise Liu Xian well, pull this strong army into your own hands, and push back the decree of the queen mother of the two palaces, and take the opportunity of the big victory, when the morale of the people, slowly really get the real power in your hands, but a 'mercy', it is really blind for such a long time!

Don't say it's a twenty-year-old emperor, even a gentleman who wanders around the capital, and he won't be so unaware of cherishing opportunities! "Mediocrity, mediocrity!"

Prince Gong closed his eyes, who he made a fuss. This overall situation is still in the hands of the two palaces. From the first attack of Cixi in the third year of Tongzhi, after the honeymoon period on both sides, Prince Gong and his sister-in-law fought for almost ten years, and there was no sign of winning. Now that Emperor Tongzhi is in power, Prince Gong already has a plan to let go of some of his power, after all, his nephew is the emperor. But look at it now, fart! I have to continue to fight with the person in the palace.

……

Izu Peninsula, Fuji.

The drizzle was also coming down. In the midst of the wind and rain, the Japanese soldiers were silently disembarking. The local Japanese people waved flags in the port and let out a series of hoarse shouts.

Liu Xian's attack on Japan, this is a crisis that is much more critical than the attack of the black ship!

The waves are not small, pushing the ups and downs of those merchant ships in the port. Several merchant ships, which had laid down all their soldiers and supplies, had already pulled out of anchor and left the port.

When they came, the Japanese fleet was in groups, and when they left, they went their separate ways. After all, as long as you don't enter Sagami Bay, as long as there are no munitions, even if you encounter the warships of the Harbour Master and Navy Division on the sea, it will not be in the way. In the mist and rain, you can only see the pillar of smoke in the sky, and there is a whistle.

On the pier, two star-studded Japanese officers strolled along, and all the officers and soldiers stood and saluted as they passed. These two officers, one is Gentaro Kodama Gentaro, the deputy chief of staff of Osaka Zhentai, the other is Masaaki Taneda, chief of staff of Kumamoto Zhentai, and the commander of the 12th Infantry Wing of Hiroshima Zhentai Kuroki Yuzhen, the leaders of the first batch of reinforcements from southwest Japan to the north and south have gathered. And the commander of this unit, of course, is also the highest-ranking Masaaki Taneda.

The two of them walked in the rain, soaking wet, but they didn't care. Looking at the roaring scene in the group outside the port, the two of them were still frowning.

"Tantian-kun, the premonition in my heart is getting worse and worse." Gentaro Kodama said it very idealisticly. Although the former is only twenty-three years old and very young, he graduated from the Osaka Military Academy [the predecessor of the Japanese Army], and has been in the army for many years. Otherwise, he would not have climbed to the position of deputy chief of staff at a young age, and before he sat in the position of deputy chief of staff, he was the captain and adjutant of the commander of Kumamoto Jindai. And the most important thing is that Gentaro Kodama's hunch is deeply in the heart of Masaaki Taneda, "Let's rush all the way to Tokyo like this, I don't know how much combat power is left?" And the artillery is pulled behind, and when we fight the Qing army, we have no firepower guarantee at all........."

But the saddest thing is that the two of them clearly saw the unfavorable conditions for reinforcements, but they also had to firmly order the whole army to march in a hurry - to reinforce Tokyo.

Because when the fleet had just docked, Masaaki Taneda received an urgent telegram from Tokyo. Tokyo is in danger, and Tokyo is in urgent need of reinforcements, so he asks for reinforcements to rush to Tokyo regardless of a single thing.

Masaaki Tanada can't help but obey his fate!

The capital of the Imperial Kingdom must not fall under the guns of outsiders. Although Masaaki Taneda could not look at the problem from a high plane and defend Tokyo like the bigwigs such as Yama Prefecture Aritomo and Katsu Kaishu, the Japanese army was all like-minded.

……

The sound of gunfire and cannons suddenly fell silent, followed by earth-shattering shouts.

The summer rain was falling, and in the muddy fields, the soldiers of the Qin army braved the rain, and many of their robes had fallen into the muddy water, and the rest were still struggling forward. The front ones had already rushed to the Japanese position, and the white blades reflected the cold light, shining little by little. If nothing else, this position will be taken by the Qin army again.

Liao Wenhui rushed to the front, and the top on his head didn't know where he had been thrown to. By capturing the position in front of them, the army can break through Shinagawa and break through to the area around Sengakuji Temple. And ten miles north of Quanyue Temple, is the palace of the little devil.

So the battle has reached the point where every inch of land is contested. The Japanese army struggled desperately to resist here, and all the soldiers who could move had already filled in, and even many samurai with swords appeared on the position. Those people were not soldiers, but in white-knuckle battles, they often brought greater losses to the Qin army than the Japanese army.

Because of this, the number of white-knives assaults of the Qin army is getting less and less, and before each white-knuckle battle, the firing ground artillery shells can often wash the target position back and forth several times. Attacking and counter-attacking again and again, the loess has long been scorched black. I don't know how many soldiers and officers have fallen on both sides, and when they fall, they may be able to see a pale human hand sticking out of the muddy water!

The position in front of them was fought desperately for two days, and one brigade of the Qin army couldn't beat the other brigade again, and now it has been changed to the third brigade!

The Japanese army had to guarantee the safety of the Imperial Palace. Let the Qin army's shells fall into the palace, it is a shame that Japan will never be able to wash away.

Now, in order to cope with the artillery superiority of the Qin army, Japan has begun to dismantle the artillery of some Odaiba batteries and transfer them to land. Although the maximum caliber of those guns was 120mm, and most of them could only fire iron bullets, some of the larger caliber were heavier and more cumbersome and time-consuming to disassemble, and Japan had to guard against the threat of the Combined Fleet after all.

A ragged Japanese soldier screamed and pounced, his rifle without a bayonet, and just smashed it with the butt of his rifle. Liao Wenhui made a left anti-stab, pushed away the rifle he smashed, and then advanced the bayonet into the chest of the Japanese soldier. The soldier threw away his rifle and grabbed the bayonet on his chest, his eyes were wide and wide, and when he fell to the sky, Liao Wenhui, who was a little exhausted, was taken to his knees.

After a fierce battle for a long time, and now he braved the rain to lead the troops to rush to the position, and his body was almost the same. Now I think it's so hard to pull out a bayonet. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw more Japanese soldiers and civilians with knives jumping out of the muddy ditches. These human rights were covered in mud and had scorched faces, and many of them were injured and crawling in the muddy water. Dozens of bayonets and katanas came straight up, and a stocky captain officer, wielding his saber, limped to the back of the man, shouting like a madman.

"Damn-" Cursing fiercely, Liao Wenhui carried a rifle in his left hand, and immediately took out a six-shot revolver from his waist with his right hand, and ...... bang, The Qin soldiers who followed behind him let out a beast-like roar, and one by one bayonets passed over him and met him.

The two sides collided together and scuffled into a ball. The gunshots were incessant, and the screams were incessant. The sound of bayonets poking into the flesh and rubbing them was even more terrifying. Soldiers on both sides are pouring up, consuming each other as if human lives don't cost money.

Liao Wenhui didn't have time to reload the pistol, so he rushed forward with a rifle. He's an officer!

A Japanese officer was hit by a bayonet in the leg and was half-kneeling, still yelling and waving his saber. Liao Wenhui approached him from the side, and a thrust stabbed through the junction of his left neck and shoulder.

The large artery on the side of the neck was cut in an instant, as if it had stagnated for an instant, and the blood column suddenly rushed to the top of the old high, spraying Liao Wenhui's face full of blood foam. It was drenched by the rain again, and then washed away again. Only the blood stains on the military uniform were deeper into the cloth pattern.

The Japanese officer screamed in his throat, clutched his neck and half-turned as if he wanted to stand up, and finally fell down.

The fight lasted for half an hour, and with the death of one of the officers of Nakasa, the Japanese finally broke down, and those who abandoned their guns and knives turned around and fled. These guys are no longer in formation, and they collapse behind the position like wandering spirits.

The road to Sengakuji Temple is open!

A shell flew in, stirring up muddy water that was more than a foot high, and it was a solid bullet with little lethality on a muddy battlefield. No one bent down to dodge, and this last shell of the Japanese army seemed to announce the change of hands of this point.

A moment later, a three-cornered dragon flag and a black tiger flag fluttered in the wind on the position that changed hands. R1152
