In the office of Lin Daxin, the governor of Shenyang City, after Lin Daxin received the information sent by Li Kun, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, about the signing of the secret treaty of betrayal between the Xingzhong Society and the seven countries, he thought about it and said to Li Kun: "Immediately send someone to pass this matter through the channel of the Military Intelligence Bureau to those people in the imperial court, so that the people in the imperial court can be prepared!" In addition, let the Governor's Office send a telegram to the imperial court, informing the imperial court that the Northeast Navy has confirmed that the 20,000 Japanese army in the name of the instructor corps, under the escort of the Japanese, British and French navies, is about to land in Fujian Province, so that the imperial court can make plans as soon as possible, not to mention that we don't know about it and don't pay attention to it, I, Lin Daxin, am also the governor of the thirteen provinces of the Qing Dynasty. ”

Lin Daxin was originally more sympathetic to the side of the Xingzhong Society, after all, it was a group of hot-blooded young people who hoped to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty and make the country strong, but he didn't expect that it was this group of hot-blooded young people who signed such a traitorous secret agreement that made Lin Daxin grit his teeth, and also targeted him Lin Daxin's territory, which directly touched the interests of him Lin someone.

Lin Daxin has even begun to think about how to intervene in the affairs of Fujian Province, he doesn't want to watch Xingzhong grow stronger little by little with the support of foreign countries, and really overthrow the Qing Dynasty. In addition, the gravedigger of the Qing Dynasty should also be him Lin Daxin, what will the little Xingzhong be a thing, the cub sells Ye Tian's heart is not painful, and it is not their turn!

Grandma's, shouldn't you directly send troops to destroy the Xingzhong Society, and take Fujian Province into your pocket by the way. However, Lin Daxin promised Li Hongzhang not to send troops to Fujian Province to quell the rebellion, and the imperial court itself would solve the problems of Fujian Province.

If the imperial court can't clean up the Xingzhong Society in the end, Lin Daxin doesn't mind helping out, but Fujian Province will definitely pay for the work.

Don't look at the Xingzhonghui now has the support of several major powers in the world, but Lin Daxin is still confident that as long as his Dingbei Army goes to Fujian Province, what Fujian ** army will definitely be wiped out.

Li Kun said to Lin Daxin at this time: "Principal, our Military Intelligence Bureau has made a plan according to the situation in Fujian Province and Taiwan Province, and is ready to take the opportunity to take Taiwan Province down, so that our troops can be stationed in Taiwan Province and interfere in the affairs of Fujian Province at any time. ”

Lin Daxin was a little surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Take Taiwan Province?" What are your plans for the MIA? ”

Li Kun explained: "At present, the new army in that one town in Taiwan Province has been transferred out of Taiwan by Xu Yingqi, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and is launching an attack on the Fuding County area of Fujian Province together with other Qing troops, so that the strength of the Qing army in the entire Taiwan Province has become very empty, only some patrol battalions in various places, and our military intelligence bureau is ready to pretend to be people from the Xingzhong Association to take the opportunity to seize Taiwan, and then put on a play, so that our Dingbei Army will rightfully take over the whole of Taiwan, I think the Qing court will swallow its anger at that time. Acquiescing in our occupation of Taiwan Province. ”

Lin Daxin was immediately moved when he heard the plan of the Military Intelligence Bureau, although Taiwan is not large in area and only 36,000 square kilometers, but it is the center of the western Pacific shipping lane, and it is the maritime barrier and important gateway of the southeast coast, Lin Daxin has been coveting the treasure island for a long time, and according to the plan of the Military Intelligence Bureau, he believes that he can take Taiwan Province along the way, and the Qing court may not have the time to entangle itself with Taiwan's affairs in the face of the Xingzhong Society supported by the seven countries.

So Lin Daxin and Li Kun then studied in detail the military intelligence bureau's plan to seize Taiwan Province, and then Lin Daxin ordered Li Kun to start the formal implementation of this plan, and gave the Northern Army and the Northeast Navy a series of orders, ready to let the navy and land forces cooperate with the military intelligence bureau's action plan.

And the matter of the Xingzhong Association signing a secret treaty of betrayal with the 7 countries also went through the channel of the Military Intelligence Bureau, so that the Qing court knew the details, and suddenly made the entire Manchu high-level magnates shocked, these Manchu high-level magnates have always been afraid of foreign powers, and now well, 7 countries have popped up all of a sudden to support the rebellious Xingzhong Society, isn't this the rhythm of the Qing Dynasty!

In the Forbidden City, the three most powerful people in the Qing court, the Empress Dowager Cixi, the Guangxu Emperor and Prince Gong Yixin gathered here again, the faces of the three people were extremely gloomy, no one thought that things had changed so much, Britain, Germany, France, Russia, Italy, the United States, Japan, these 7 countries were full of food and had nothing to do, and even interfered in the rebellion of the Qing Dynasty, and what was even more depressing was that the position of the 7 countries also stood on the opposite side of the Qing Dynasty and chose to support the rebellious party Xingzhonghui.

The Empress Dowager Cixi gritted her teeth and asked, "Prince Gong, has the news been confirmed?" ”

Prince Gong nodded gloomily and said, "Lafayette, it has been confirmed that those traitors who have forgotten their ancestors have really signed a secret agreement to betray the country, attracting 7 countries to provide them with all-round support. ”

Cixi said with a gloomy face: "Those chaotic parties in Fujian Province are really a group of shameless people who have betrayed their roots and forgotten their roots, in order to get the support of foreigners, we will give up the land of our Great Qing Dynasty to foreigners, and the mourning family must punish the nine clans of this group of chaotic parties!" Those foreigners are also really hateful, and our Qing Dynasty did not provoke them, but they calculated our Qing Dynasty for no reason, and supported the chaotic party of the Qing Dynasty in all aspects, and the mourning family will remember them, the emperor, Prince Gong, what do you have to say? ”

Prince Gong Yixin said helplessly: "Lafayette, Emperor, the current situation is very unfavorable to us, now Britain, Germany, France, Russia, Italy, the United States, Japan, after signing a secret agreement with the Xingzhong Society, have shipped a large amount of arms to Fujian Province, according to the information sent by the Governor's Office of Lin Daxin, the warships of the Northeast Navy found that the Japanese sent a group of more than 20,000 instructors at once to land in Fujian Province, and our counterinsurgency troops will be severely tested. ”

Emperor Guangxu frowned and said, "Isn't the counterinsurgency war in Fujian Province still beneficial to the army of our imperial court?" Can't we destroy the rebel party before the aid of foreigners helps it to become stronger? ”

Emperor Guangxu is also unwilling to play against those foreign powers, in the Qing Dynasty may be Lin Daxin's alternative to foreign powers do not care about the foreign powers, provoked Lin Daxin, no matter which country, still dare to roll up his arms and sleeves, up is a fat beating, the rest of the Qing Dynasty, including the Guangxu Emperor as soon as he encounters foreign powers, involuntarily weakened by three points, hoping to do his best to exterminate the rebel party, not to give foreign powers the opportunity to deeply mix.

Prince Gong Yixin said: "The Japanese sent more than 20,000 instructors this time, nominally instructors, in fact, it is Japan's regular army, and these more than 20,000 Japanese people are just to prevent our imperial army from sweeping Fujian Province with lightning speed, if nothing else, the Japanese army of more than 20,000 people will definitely go into battle shirtless and engage our counterinsurgency army, so as to block the footsteps of our counterinsurgency army, so that the rebel party has more time to arm more troops with the arms given by the foreign powers." ”

Emperor Guangxu said angrily: "The imperial court invests so much silver in the new army every year, and now the counterinsurgency army of Yiketanga has more than 100,000 horses in 4 towns, plus tens of thousands of horses in the other 2 counterinsurgency armies, can't even defeat the 20,000 Japanese army, if the counterinsurgency army of the imperial court can defeat the 20,000 Japanese army, it can quickly sweep down this rebellion in Fujian Province, in that case, the support of foreigners for the rebel party may not even have the opportunity to play a role." ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi also nodded and said: "The emperor is right, the imperial court uses so much silver to raise hundreds of thousands of new troops every year, but in order to deal with the Dingbei Army under Lin Daxin, the Japanese army is the defeated general of the Dingbei Army under Lin Daxin, if our new army can't even beat the Japanese, how can we deal with the Dingbei Army under Lin Daxin, tell sù Yiketanga, and beat the mourning family hard, whether it is the rebel army or the Japanese army, don't let it go, win the battle and the mourning family will be rewarded." ”

Guangxu also nodded and said: "What my father said is very true, this time I can only beat hard." ”

Yi Xin shook his head helplessly, Lin Daxin's Dingbei Army has been recognized as one of the strongest armies in the world, and there are German Army and French Army that can be compared to it, even the Russian Army, which has the largest number, is not as good as the previous three in terms of combat effectiveness, plus the exaggerated number of Dingbei Army, and even some foreigners call Dingbei Army the strongest army in the world.

The defeat of the Japanese Army to the Northern Army, but it does not mean that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese Army is poor, it has been verified with the blood of countless Qing officers and soldiers during the First Sino-Japanese War, at that time, if it were not for the Dingbei Army that was born, it is really unpredictable what the war will turn into in the end, and now the new army established by the imperial court with a large amount of silver against the Japanese Army, I really don't know what the result will be, Yi Xin has no bottom in his heart, but the current situation is not good if he does not fight.

Yi Xin continued: "Lafayette, the emperor, the minister has sent a telegram to General Yiketanga about the signing of the secret treaty between the Xingzhong Society and the seven countries, and General Yiketanga sent a telegram back saying that he will lead the new army of the four towns to step up the attack on the Fujian ** army, and in addition, just in case, that is, Japan or other countries continue to send troops to Fujian Province, General Yiketanga hopes that the imperial court will send more troops into Fujian Province to quell the rebellion. ”

Cixi and Guangxu both nodded, thinking that what Iktang said was reasonable, after all, no one could guarantee that the Japanese would only send these 20,000 troops, and there were still 6 countries that had signed secret treaties, maybe they would also send some instructor corps or other troops into Fujian Province to help the rebel army.
