The fighters of the Western Sichuan Army were already in full swing, and one by one the troops began to leave their garrisons and march towards the front line. In particular, the Eastern Front battlefield will become the most important battlefield in the battle with the Qing army, and the chief of staff Xiong Wu personally went to Chongqing to sit in Chongqing and command the army. The overall arrangement of logistics and other resources in the rear will be handed over to Jiang Xingguo, director of the Army Academy Academy and deputy director of the Attendant Office, for the time being.

For this battle, Kawanishi has been waiting for too long, and this is not only Kawanishi's chance, but also their own opportunity. Therefore, no one can afford to fail.

At the same time, when Prince Gong's memora was sent to Beijing, the Qing court also acted quickly. After learning that this battle was inevitable, the Empress Dowager Cixi also made up her mind to fight with western Sichuan. Cixi nodded, and suddenly the whole dynasty was full of voices of war with western Sichuan, and Emperor Guangxu's will was no longer hindered and implemented. This made Emperor Guangxu very happy, and immediately ordered the military department to take out the opportunity to fight against western Sichuan, which was bound to complete its work in one battle and wipe out western Sichuan in one fell swoop.

Xu Gengshen, the secretary of the Ministry of War, immediately convened the officials of the Ministry of War and the generals of the DPRK and China to discuss the specific plan for sending troops. In just two days, a complete battle plan appeared on Emperor Guangxu's desk.

The military department divided the battlefield into three places, the main battlefield was Hubei, commanded by Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang, and the strength was mainly 100,000 Hubei New Army, 100,000 Zhili New Army and the green battalions of Hubei, Hunan and eastern provinces, with a total strength of 400,000 troops.

In the north, Shaanxi attacked Sichuan and Gansu, which was occupied by the Western Sichuan Army, under the command of the veteran general Zhu Hongzhang, and the forces were mainly composed of the green battalions of Shaanxi and Shanxi, and 50,000 Mongolian cavalry led by Boyan Nemohu, the prince of Horqin, with a total strength of 200,000.

In the southern provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou, the green battalions of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces led by Governor Wang Wenshao and the green battalions of Guangxi and Guangdong provinces attacked Sichuan from the south, with a total strength of 200,000 troops.

Beijing's 100,000 new Praetorian Guards plus the old-style 100,000 Eight Banner soldiers as reserves.

The entire battle plan will mobilize more than one million troops to attack western Sichuan from three directions, from north to south.

"Haha. Okay, this plan is very, my million-strong army encircles and suppresses western Sichuan, how can I and Wang Xiao resist! Emperor Guangxu laughed and said, it seems that it has reached the scene where the Qing army broke through Chengdu and killed Wang Xiao and Wang Yuze's father and son.

"The bandits in western Sichuan are not to be afraid, as long as I am the king of the Qing Dynasty, I will definitely kill them, and there will be no armor left!" Xu Gengshen, the secretary of the military department, immediately said.

"Very well, it would be nice for you to have such a heart earlier. When will the attack on Kawanishi be launched? Emperor Guangxu asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, millions of troops need to be dispatched, and it will take at least two months!" Xu Gengshen replied.

"No, two months is too long. I'm only giving you a month. A month later, it was necessary to launch an attack on western Sichuan! Emperor Guangxu said stubbornly.

"Your Majesty, a month is too tight. I ......" Xu Gengshen wanted to say something, but was stopped by Emperor Guangxu.

"There is no extra time, only a month. If you do it in a month's time, you will have a place in the Minister of Military Aircraft. If you can't do it, you can go home! Emperor Guangxu said coldly.

"Ahh Xu Geng's body suddenly felt cold, he didn't expect Emperor Guangxu to insist like this, and even threatened to remove him. However, he has no choice now. "Your Majesty, the minister will try his best to complete the preparation within a month!" Xu Geng had no choice but to admit it.

"Very good, then I will wait for your good news, kneel down!" Emperor Guangxu showed a satisfied smile at this time.

"Wechen retires!" After Xu Geng bowed to Emperor Guangxu, he withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Palace.

The news that the imperial court was going to use troops against western Sichuan soon spread, and the great war came, which made the capital and other places rumorful. However, most people are optimistic. The imperial court used millions of troops this time, and no matter how much it was comparable to a small Sichuan. Only some clear-headed people know that the Great Qing Dynasty seems to be strong, but in fact it is extremely weak. Although the west of Sichuan is small, it is strong and strong, and the victory of this battle is likely to be that of the west of Sichuan.

Dongjiaomin Lane, from ** Square East Road in the west, to Chongwenmen Inner Street in the east, with a total length of nearly one kilometer, is the longest alley in old Beijing. After China's defeat in the Second Opium War in 60, according to the relevant provisions of the "Treaty of Tianjin" signed by the Qing government with Britain, France, the United States and Russia, the British envoy officially stayed in Prince Chun's Mansion in Mixiang, Dongjiang (then known as Liang Gongfu, which was the residence of King Yunyou, the seventh son of Emperor Kangxi); The French minister officially stayed in the Anjun Royal Mansion (then known as the Chungong Mansion, which was the residence of Wang Yuele of Anjun, the grandson of Hachi); U.S. Ministers stationed in the private residence of U.S. Citizen Lliam in Mi Lane, Dongjiang; The Russian envoy stayed in the Russian Pavilion of the Orthodox Church built here in the early Qing Dynasty, and then the legations of various countries chose the area of Dongjiaomin Lane as the venue. It also became the center of the control of the interests of the great powers in China.

This evening, British Minister O'Gner held a grand banquet in the British Legation to entertain the embassy personnel of various countries in Beijing. However, while many handsome men and women enjoyed the ball, the ministers of Great Britain, France, Russia, Germany, and the United States talked secretly in a secluded room in the legation.

"Gentlemen, a great war is about to break out that will engulf the whole of China, and the interests of all countries in China will be seriously threatened. I don't think we should do something about it. For example, to warn the government of the Great Qing Dynasty and Western Sichuan that any war that changes the status quo is a provocation to our countries! As the initiator of this secret meeting, Ogner was the first to express his intentions.

"Your Excellency, I cannot agree with you. After all, this is an internal affair of the Chinese, and if we interfere without permission, I am afraid it will cause their dissatisfaction. If they want to fight, let them fight, and finally let us come out and clean up the mess, wouldn't it be great? German Minister Marcos said immediately.

Ogner didn't say much, but turned to the others. Everyone here knows the relationship between Germany and Kawanishi, and it's almost good to wear a pair of pants. In the rise of western Sichuan, the Germans have contributed a lot. Everyone knows who will benefit in the end if Sichuan West defeats the Manchus. Therefore, they also need to avoid this situation.

"I agree with His Excellency Ogner that war should be avoided between Western Sichuan and the Manchus!" French Minister Lin Chun also said.

"Gentlemen, I think we should support the Manchus and support them in exterminating western Sichuan. A weak China is undoubtedly more beneficial for us! "The Russian minister said loudly.

"No, no, no. Our country will not agree to our involvement in the war again in the East! French Minister Lin Chun said.

"Your Excellency Tian Bei, what do you mean?" Ogna asked.

"As long as the interests of the United States of America are not violated, I have no objection." U.S. Minister Tian Bei replied.

"Well, gentlemen, let's first call the Qing government and western Sichuan in the name of our five countries and call on them to stop the war operations. Of course, if they don't listen to the advice, then we have to let it go. But if they are detrimental to the interests of all countries, then we must unite and use force against them! British Minister Ogna said.

"Agreed! But I don't think the kid on the throne or the old woman will listen to our advice! German Minister Marcos laughed.

"Agreed!" Several other ministers also agreed.

"Well, gentlemen, business is over, and now it's time for us to enjoy this enchanting evening!" British Minister O'Gner said with a smile.

The group moved into the lobby of the legation and began to drink and have fun.

The next day, the British minister Ogner expressed their opinion to the Qing government. Unsurprisingly, Emperor Guangxu rejected their demands, insisting that the war between the Qing and western Sichuan was an internal matter that should be resolved by the Qing themselves and that no one else had the right to interfere.
