Ren Chao looked at the lonely back of Emperor Guangxu, couldn't help sighing, and said secretly in his heart, buddy, don't blame me, Lao Tzu has no choice, Lao Tzu can't be a slave for you for a lifetime, and then watch you losers defeat the great country of China little by little!

The Tiger Ben army broke through the city of Beijing in one fell swoop, killed Cixi's old lady who was a loser, and held Emperor Guangxu hostage. But this is not to say that this qiē is over, on the contrary, this qiē is just the beginning, and there are still many things to be done to clean up the current mess.

The news of Ren Chaoxing's attack on Beijing soon spread throughout the north and south of the Great River, on both sides of the Great Wall. Li Hongzhang, who had been sent to Guangdong by Emperor Guangxu, suddenly got the news while eating, and the old guy was shocked and almost choked to death. After finally calming down this breath, Li Hongzhang immediately sent a telegram to the Beiyang Naval Division, as well as the generals of the Huai Army in Zhili, Liaodong and other places, asking them to immediately prepare for battle in case of accidents. However, Li Hongzhang did not act rashly, and immediately ordered the Huai army to send troops to quell the chaos, after all, the situation is still not clear. So Li Hongzhang hurriedly sent telegrams to Liu Kunyi, Zhang Zhidong and other local governors, first forming a secret united front with these local powerful factions.

Soon after Li Hongzhang's telegram was sent, he soon received a reply from the Beiyang Naval Division, saying that the Jiaolong Fleet had blocked Port Arthur and that Yu Kun, commander of the Jiaolong Fleet, had issued an ultimatum to Ding Ruchang, claiming that he had come to receive the Beiyang Naval Division on an order, and ordering Ding Ruchang to immediately hand over the command of the Beiyang Naval Division.

After Li Hongzhang received the telegram, he was shocked and hurriedly called back to order Ding Ruchang, Song Qing and others stationed in Lushun to strictly guard Lushun Port to preserve their strength and wait and see what happened.

At this time, Ding Ruchang received a holy decree from Ren Chao in the name of Emperor Guangxu, ordering Ding Ruchang to immediately hand over the Beiyang Naval Division to the Jiaolong Fleet, and rushed to Beijing to take up the post of secretary of the Admiralty of the soon-to-be-established cabinet. Ding Ruchang naturally will not be fooled. Naturally, this holy decree fell on deaf ears, but fortunately, the Jiaolong fleet did not directly attack, but only completely blocked Port Arthur.

The Military Aircraft Department has become Ren Chao's temporary headquarters at this time, Ren Chao sat in the Military Aircraft Department, looked at his confidants and asked him, "How is the situation in Tianjin now?" ”

"Marshal Qiyu, I have sent a telegram to Yuan Shikai, ordering him to surrender to our Tiger Ben Army immediately, but Yuan Shikai has not called back. I guess I'm still hesitating. Yang Jichang hurriedly replied.

"Humph! Ordered Meng Yan to launch an attack on Yuan Shikai's headquarters, put some pressure on Yuan Shikai, and ordered the main force of the 1st Division to immediately go north to Tianjin. In addition, Yuan Shikai was informed that the emperor had issued an order to form a cabinet and was ready to appoint him to the post of squire of the newly established War Department. Ren Chao said casually. Although Ren Chao does not have a good impression of Yuan Shikai, the newly built army in Yuan Shikai's hands still has a certain combat effectiveness, and Ren Chao cannot afford to ignore it. Take the current situation in China as an example. I really can't withstand the devastation of a large-scale civil war, and it is best to solve the problem without using swords. A soldier who surrenders without a fight is the highest level of the art of war. Ren Chao still understands this.

"Yes, I will immediately order someone to send electricity to Yuan Shikai." Yang Jichang responded respectfully.

"What is the situation on the North Korean side?" Ren Chao asked again.

"The Korean royal family has promised to send 15,000 troops to assist our army in quelling the rebellion, and now Zhou Tai has led 5,000 tiger troops and 15,000 new Korean troops out of Pyongyang and is advancing in the direction of Liaodong." Yang Jichang then replied.

"Ordered them to rush to Lushun at once. Let's take Lushun first. Ren Chao said with a stern face.

"Yes! It's just that Ding Ruchang, the commander of the Beiyang Naval Division, refused to surrender to the Jiaolong fleet, and Yu Kun asked the commander whether to launch an attack? Yang Jichang replied and continued.

"Don't be in a hurry for the time being, our Huaxia Navy has this foundation. It's better not to kill each other. It is good to sue Yu Kun to temporarily block the mouth of Arthur, and without my order, you must not launch an attack without authorization. In addition, he sent a telegram to Ding Ruchang, urging him to immediately hand over his command and return to Beijing to take up his post. Ren Chao said with a sigh.

"Yes!" Yang Jichang responded respectfully.

"There's no movement on the Japanese side, right?"

"Not yet."

"Inform Wang Jing and ask him to strengthen his vigilance to prevent the little devil from sneaking up." Ren Chao said casually.

"Yes!"

"Marshal Qi, although our army has successfully occupied the city of Beijing, those bannermen in the city, especially those royal nobles, often use excuses to make trouble, and sometimes clash with our army." At this time, Niu Kaixuan suddenly spoke.

"What is the purpose of the gun that Lao Tzu issued to you, whoever dares to make trouble will be arrested immediately, and if you dare to resist, you will be punished on the spot, whether it is those ordinary Eight Banner disciples, or those princes and Baylors, if they stay at home honestly, Lao Tzu will not have time to take care of them. But if they dared to jump out against Lao Tzu, then Lao Tzu destroyed them first. Use the guns in your hands to let them understand a truth, those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will die! Ren Chao said viciously with a straight face.

"Yes!" Niu Kaixuan saw that Ren Chao's face was not good, and hurriedly responded, and he didn't dare to speak again.

"Is there a reply from Li Hongzhang?" Ren Chao suddenly remembered the old guy Li Hongzhang again, although this old guy has been old for a few years, but Li Hongzhang's energy Ren Chao still dare not ignore. Not to mention anything else, the hundreds of thousands of Huai troops in Li Hongzhang's hands are a big trouble, if this old guy openly jumps out and fights against himself under the banner of counterinsurgency, it is estimated that many people will respond, so in order to avoid these unnecessary troubles. After Ren Chao occupied Beijing, he immediately sent a telegram to Li Hongzhang, asking Li Zhongtang to quickly return to Beijing to preside over the overall situation, and later sent a telegram again saying that the emperor had issued an order to implement the responsible cabinet system, appoint Li Hongzhang as the prime minister of the cabinet, and ordered Li Hongzhang to return to Beijing as soon as possible to take up his post.

"No, Li Hongzhang never replied, and his attitude is unclear." Yang Jichang shook his head and said.

"His grandmother's!" Ren Chao couldn't help but scold, at this time, Ren Chao hoped that Emperor Guangxu would not send this old guy to Guangdong, if Li Hongzhang was in Beijing, he would have been mastered by Ren Chao by now, even in Tianjin, Ren Chao was not worried about what big waves he could make. But Li Hongzhang is now far away in Guangdong, and Ren Chao is beyond his reach.

"However, Li Hongzhang has not taken any substantive action yet, it seems that he should want to see the development of the shape first, plan and then act, in this case, as long as we can control the current situation as much as possible, it is expected that Li Hongzhang will not dare to act rashly." Yang Jichang hurriedly said.

"That's the only way to do it for now." Ren Chao nodded helplessly and said. (To be continued......)
