However, to Ren Chao's surprise, Ren Chao was promoted again. It turned out that as early as when Ren Chao led his troops to break the sixth division of the Japanese army, Yi? and Li Hongzhang jointly played the imperial court that had fled to Rehe to ask for credit for Ren Chao. After Emperor Guangxu received the report, he was naturally Longyan Dayue, and after discussing with the civil and military officials, he decided to promote Ren Chao to encourage the front-line soldiers to fight bravely to kill the enemy.

So Ren Chaoren's official rank was promoted from the general soldier to the commander, from the second rank to the first rank, although it was only a small promotion of half a level, but the commander was already the highest level among the officers of the Qing Dynasty, and then I wanted to rise unless I was crowned a scholar of the palace. However, with Ren Chao's current age, being able to be promoted to admiral can definitely be called unprecedented, and it is difficult to have anyone in the future. And Ren Chao did not have the consciousness to escort the Manchu Dynasty, a giant ship that was about to sink, but vowed to completely scuttle the ship, so Ren Chao didn't care too much about the official title given by the Manchu court, but this official title was not useless, at least it was still somewhat useful before it was against the Qing Dynasty.

This move naturally attracted a wave of even more crazy envy and jealousy, if these people knew that Ren Chao, as a party, did not take this matter to heart at all, it is estimated that many people would immediately jump out and go up to strangle Ren Chao to death.

Many people had different thoughts and desperately toasted Ren Chao, hoping to get this guy drunk and make him ugly in front of everyone. However, these people's wishful thinking was finally in vain, although Ren Chao's alcohol consumption was good, but he couldn't stand so many people's toasts again and again! So Ren Chao really drank too much. But this Ren Chao Ren Junmen drank too much, not like some people who were crazy with alcohol, or vomited, Ren Chao drank too much and was very honest, lying on the table and falling asleep directly. It's a bit of a bad idea, but it's better than those who shout and get drunk!

Abundant? Seeing that Ren Chao had drunk too much, he very considerately ordered someone to clean up a guest room for Ren Chao and let Ren Chao live in the palace.

Early the next morning. After Ren Chao woke up, he still felt a wave of dizziness. Had breakfast in the palace, and Yi? After chatting a few words, Ren Chao took his leave. Then Ren Chao rushed to see Li Hongzhang again, but he just said goodbye to Li Hongzhang. Because there are still millions of points waiting for Ren Chao in Langfang? Ren Chao was already a little impatient, because these little devils were almost to the point of running out of ammunition and food, and it was a good time to take advantage of your illness to kill you, and I am afraid that such a good thing will be difficult to encounter in the future.

After saying goodbye to Li Hongzhang, Ren Chao returned to his residence, where there were still thousands of wounded soldiers of the Tiger Army who could not leave with Ren Chao for the time being, but it didn't matter. Anyway, Ren Chao estimated that it would not be long before he returned to Beijing, so he left a battalion of Tiger Ben Army to take care of these wounded soldiers. And Ren Chao himself took more than a thousand tiger ben troops out of Yongding Gate, and then went straight to Langfang. After a rapid march that night, Ren Chao rushed to the Tiger Ben army camp outside Langfang.

"At present, the remnants of the 7th Division and the 2nd and 6th Divisions of the Japanese Army, with a total strength of 15,600 people, are all cowering near Langfang City. Last night, the Japanese Seventh Division launched a night attack on the Qing troops under Ma Yukun and Song Qing, but fortunately, the Qing troops had already made preparations, and the Japanese army did not achieve much success. At present, the Qing army of more than 20,000 people is stationed in the area east of Langfang. Together with our Tiger Army, the Japanese army is faintly encircled. But this encirclement is not strong. Both the south and north flanks are the weak points of our army's defense, and if the Japanese want to break through, they will most likely choose these two directions. As soon as Ren Chao arrived, Yang Jichang briefly introduced the current shape to him.

"Breakout? In terms of the current situation of the little devil, even if you want to escape, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape! Ren Chao said with a sneer. To say that this Da Shan Yan is really an immortal little strong, he was chased and killed by the Tiger Ben Army all night, and it is not easy to run to Langfang alive, Ren Chao has already learned that Da Shan Yan has been seriously ill. And the illness is very serious. However, Ren Chao didn't want this old devil to die of illness, after all, a Japanese general had a lot of points, so Ren Chao still faintly hoped that this big mountain rock could be able to top for a few more days. (System provisions.) Even if you are forced to commit suicide by caesarean section, it will be counted in the battle merits, but if you die of illness, it will not be counted)

"That's right! Today we have launched several small, tentative attacks. According to the observation of the humble position, this little devil's ammunition is running out, and his morale has also been hit by Yan zhòng, but the vigilance is quite high! Yang Jichang said with a smile.

Ren Chao nodded slightly thoughtfully, "Did you send someone to contact Song Qing and Ma Yukun?" ”

"I've already been contacted!" Yang Jichang nodded and replied, "But the combat effectiveness of these Qing troops is really not flattering, and I am afraid that it will not work to count on them." ”

"Yes!" Ren Chao nodded and said, "When did our Tiger Benjun count on others, it was enough for us to rely on ourselves." As the saying goes, farting adds to the wind? It's not bad to have them to help us contain some little devils! ”

"Alright, let's get here today! Let's all go back and rest, and we'll talk about something tomorrow. Ren Chao felt a little tired, waved his hand and said.

"Are you ready to attack the Japanese army tomorrow?" Yang Jichang couldn't help but ask.

"It depends on the situation! The little devil is not in a hurry, what kind of hurry are we, anyway, this little devil can't fly to the sky, and sooner or later it will not be all meat in our pot. Ren Chao said with a smile.

"What the Lord said, then we'll go down first!" Yang Jichang was right when he heard it, so he didn't continue to ask, and after saying hello to Ren Chao, he retreated with a few other people.

Ren Chao couldn't help but yawn, and went back to his tent early to sleep. Early the next morning, Ren Chao got up early, and after breakfast, he took a team of guards to ride to Song Qing's camp in the east of the city, and met with Song Qing, Ma Yukun and some major generals of the Qing army. Although they stayed for most of the day, most of them talked about inconsequential things, and as for the next step of the operational deployment, they did not talk much about it, and no substantive agreement was reached. The armies are not subordinate to each other, although Li Hongzhang temporarily designated Song Qing to lead the armies, but Song Qing knew in his heart that his commander was only in name only, even Ma Yukun might not be willing to obey his Song Qing's command, let alone Ren Chao's Tiger Army, this group of arrogant soldiers and fierce generals is not something that anyone can control, so all armies can only be regarded as working together.
