Outside the Beiyang Yamen in Tianjin, the guards are standing with guns, although it is the height of summer, but the head is still wrapped in a headcloth, and it is a loss to be outside the Beiyang Yamen, if it is placed in other places, I am afraid that the guards have already taken off the headcloth and put on a cool straw hat, but here is always a matter of the Yamen's physical etiquette, and there is no room for loss.

Since the Hangzhou incident, this Beiyang Yamen has been very lively, and there are those who intend to seek military merits and come here to take the road and strive for the suppression, and there are also compradors from foreign banks from various countries who have come to sell arms one after another, of course, for Li Hongzhang, who is the minister of Beiyang, he has to do everything possible to transfer troops and send generals.

Although the Huai army had more than 100,000 troops at its peak, it could be fought from the suppression of the chaos, especially since the Sino-French war, the eight banners and green battalions of the "ancestral economic system" were unbearable, and the local regimental training Huai army of the whole Western-style training method faintly became the "central army", and began to garrison the whole country, becoming the pillar of the empire. The Huai Army, which is trained bravely by the soldiers of all provinces, can be said to be a well-deserved "Central Army".

As the soul and founder of the Huai Army, Li Hongzhang, who was the governor of Zhili and the minister of Beiyang, although he did not have the name of the military department, he had to take up the actual responsibility of the military department -- to dispatch various battalions to defend and suppress it. This will be ordered to mobilize the Huai army to aid Zhejiang, suppress the rebellion in Hangzhou, how to transfer troops but really gave him a headache, and in his heart, the Eight Banners Green Battalion is not in it at all, and it was useless when the bandits were sent out decades ago, not to mention that now, only the Huai Army and some training and defense troops in his eyes can be relied on.

But these defense troops are stationed all over the country. Pull a hair and move the whole body. Naturally, it cannot be fully mobilized. As a result, how to mobilize and mobilize those troops has become a topic of debate among the staff members in the Beiyang Yamen recently. The Huai army was to be transferred, the Yu army was to be moved, the Hunan camp was also to be moved, and there were also training troops in Zhili, Fengtian and other places, just when Li Hongzhang was trying his best to transfer troops and send generals, the news that the imperial court ordered Tang Haoran to "send the people against the chaos to the capital" was transmitted to the Beiyang Yamen at the first time, and a storm suddenly broke off in this yamen.

"Youqiao, isn't this court really afraid of causing trouble?"

After receiving the news from the capital. Li Hongzhang only felt a surge of qi and blood, so much so that he even disregarded the dignity of the court in his words. It's no wonder that when he was working hard to protect the Qing Kingdom here, there were people in the court who didn't realize that there were many things and caused trouble there, how could he not be annoyed.

"Quan Shuai, if it weren't for Zeng Wenzhenggong and you who worked hard to level out the hair twist, this Qing Kingdom would only be afraid of ...... But today, our emperor, not only do we not know that the current situation is important to stabilize first. On the contrary, he insisted on going his own way, as if the Xinjiang ministers were detached. How to clean up when the time comes! ”

Zhang Peilun's words were full of worry, and he looked at the annoyed Lord Zhongtang and continued:

"Now the imperial court has ordered him to send those hundreds of people from Incheon to the capital, and with Tang Ziran's temperament, he will naturally refuse."

For Tang Haoran to refuse, Zhang Peilun took it for granted, the reason is simple, Tang Haoran can be said to be extremely protective of the North Korean commander, and now let him take the heads of hundreds of people to keep his red top, how can he agree? What's more, the vast majority of those people are talents they have painstakingly cultivated.

Whether it is personal face or the reality of "cherishing talents for the country", Tang Haoran cannot hand over people plainly, if he doesn't hand over people, what kind of chaos will he cause?

"Youqiao, isn't it now that he can't understand the fact that people are guilty of crimes in the capital?"

Li Hongzhang stopped stroking his beard, and when his old eyes looked out of the door, the sadness in his eyes became thicker and thicker, he had worried about Tang Haoran's loyalty to the imperial court, but now when the matter came to this point, he was worried about Tang Ziran's future, after all, after this matter, he was afraid that it would be difficult for the imperial court to appoint him.

"But whether he understands people in the capital or not, the court also has no trust in him, even if he solves people in Beijing, the officials who want to make a name for themselves see that they are easy to bully, and they will be impeached again to make a name for themselves, and at that time, he Tang Ziran is bound to be the meat in the mouth of the officials, let him bully, and there is no room for maneuver, but ...... How can he be willing to be a mermaid? ”

For the trip of the official, in the political arena in the early years of Guangxu, how could Zhang Peilun, a "clear stream" figure who had a very strong head, not know that the so-called "clear stream" is the official of speech, and the official in the officialdom, whether it is famous for being upright, presiding over the Qing discussion, discussing current affairs, and correcting the minister, and then seeking a way to be promoted, such as Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang, was born as a speech official, and Zhang Peilun, Zhang Zhidong, Bao Ting, and Huang Tifang were collectively called the "Four Advice of Hanlin", and all four of them became famous by impeaching the minister.

Seeing that the adults said this, Zhang Peilun was silent for a while, even he couldn't stop the Hou Jin Yanguan from impeaching Tang Haoran to make a name for himself.

"If that's the case, then Tang Haoran will be the opposite?"

Zhang Peilun looked at the adult in front of him nervously, with Tang Ziran's temper, since he was unwilling to be a mermaid, wouldn't there be only one way left?

"Again?"

Shaking his head, Li Hongzhang pondered for a moment and shook his head.

"If Tang Ziran has a new army in ten towns, and the court is so coercive, he can only oppose if he doesn't fight, and now, although Ziran is good at training, he only has two new troops under his command, and one town is only a new army that has been trained for a few months, and its strength is limited, so he naturally doesn't dare to rebel."

Compared with Li Hongzhang, who was in charge of Zhang Peilun's hundreds of thousands of elite Huai troops, he didn't know that sometimes, the reason why he rebelled for officialdom was forced by the imperial court.

The same principle cannot be applied to Tang Haoran, Tang Haoran has never received the grace of the dynasty since he was a child, and he has been educated by the West, and the Westerners are good at taking risks, and they don't know how to be steady, so they naturally have a lot less worries about doing things. Now, the only reason why he won't oppose is probably that his strength is not good!

Thinking of the old past, Li Hongzhang's brows became tighter and tighter, today the court can coerce Tang Haoran to commit it, will he be the court that day?

No, never!

The court is inseparable from himself after all, and he is completely different from him Tang Haoran. Even the power of the imperial court against the Huai army. It's just a matter of scrutiny.

Scruple...... When these two words come to mind. Li Hongzhang's brows frowned suddenly, but he didn't say anything for a long time, after the Hangzhou incident, he pointed directly to the "difference between Manchu and Han", the court has always been scruples about Hanchen, there is a car in front of Hangzhou, so what will happen to the court in the future after the chaos in Hangzhou is calmed down?

When the time comes, will he be like the master of the past? Li Hongzhang who fell into deep thought in his heart. Instead, they will be speechless, but there they will ponder all kinds of possibilities.

"Quan Shuai, if Tang Haoran doesn't rebel, then what choice will he make?"

Zhang Peilun didn't notice the strange look on Li Hongzhang's face, he was just thinking about another possibility-since he couldn't do it, how would Tang Haoran deal with this matter?

"Actually, that's what I'm really worried about."

Out of confidence in his own strength, Li Hongzhang was not afraid of Tang Haoran's rebellion, and there were 20,000 defense troops in Zhili, Mukden and Shandong that could be used, plus the Beiyang Fleet threatened Incheon. He believed that with Tang Haoran's cleverness, he would naturally not take such a big risk. Choose the strategy of rebellion.

But if he does not rebel and does not understand people, then what choice will he make?

People are always like this, the more they can't guess, the more worried they become, just like Li Hongzhang at this time.

"If it's the opposite, it's just a matter of sending troops to suppress it, but the problem is ......"

In the midst of a deep groan, Zhang Peilun suddenly raised his head.

"Quan Shuai, will Tang Ziran disobey!"

Is it anti, or is it compliant?

When the telegram from Beijing was sent to Seoul, a choice was suddenly placed in front of Tang Haoran, but he fell into an unprecedented struggle, as far as he was concerned, he naturally hoped to immediately raise troops in response to the uprising in Hangzhou, so as to justifiably take charge of the anti-Manchu banner.

But on the other hand, there is a reality in front of him - strength!

It's the strength that counts. Everything in the world ultimately has to be based on strength, and there is not enough strength to talk about rebellion, or in other words, to talk about restoring China, and now, Tang Haoran just belongs to the list of weak strength.

All along, almost everything is in Tang Haoran's plan, and the only thing that surprised him was the imperial court's handling of Incheon's "rebellion", they did not send people, according to their original plan, even if the imperial court sent to investigate this matter, it was nothing more than silver paving, and then disposed of it in North Korea, so that it could naturally be turned into a big thing and a small matter, after all, this imperial court is a place outside the country, when has the imperial court seen North Korea, if not, how can they allow themselves to "come here".

But to his surprise, the dog slave surnamed Yan actually let himself send people to the capital, which means that he can't interfere in the disposal of this matter at all, all plans have failed, how can he continue to endure it, he must hand over the person, but how can this person be handed over?

"My lord, if you obey the order to dismiss people, I am afraid that the palace will face a situation of losing popularity!"

Needless to say, everyone knows what the result will be when they send people to Beijing, not only will the popular morale of the people who have gathered in the DPRK be lost, but even the unified supervision office will lose the support of the people, and from then on it will be completely preyed upon by the Manchus. And more importantly, even if the person is handed over, the court will not necessarily believe in the adults as before.

It's not possible to solve people, but what if you don't?

If you don't understand, you can confirm the charge of the "Ten Sins"!

The solution is not possible, and it is not possible to solve it, how to solve the current situation? In the conference room in the middle of the house, there was a sudden silence, even Li Guangguang, who was usually scheming, was only silent.

"Those who want to do things, although they can do whatever they want, but they must not cut their wings!"

Thinking about this sentence repeatedly in my heart, don't cut your wings! Those who cut their own wings will never succeed!

Gritting his teeth suddenly, Tang Haoran cast his gaze, stared at him and asked:

"How many Qing troops do we need to face?"

Tang Haoran's words only made everyone's hearts tense suddenly, especially Tang Zhaoyi's face changed instantly, he had previously persuaded the adults to fold up to defend themselves, but even if they folded up, how could they argue? How many of the ten major sins are not the crimes of the Nine Clans?

Even if Tang Haoran is on the fold, what can he do? Even if the imperial court accepts his explanation, I am afraid that in less than half a year, it will find a reason to transfer him to Beijing, reappoint a commander, and leave North Korea, and this Lord Tang will lose his roots!

"My lord, Fuzhong is located in North Korea, and the people who are there are no other than Fengtian, Zhili and Shandong coastal army, except for the Jiaozhou Taiwanese Workers, Shandong Weihaiwei is the eight battalions of the Suigong Army and two battalions of the Protector Army, the Fengtian Dalian Bay is the ten battalions of the Ming Army, and the Lushunkou is the eight battalions of the Sichuan Tichen Song Qingyi Army, and the six battalions of the Qinqing Army; Yantai, Shandong, the fourth battalion of the Songwu Army; Zhili Beitangkou Renzi two battalions ......"

While Tang Haoran was pondering, Shang Dequan was there to tell about the strength of the Qing army, to be precise, the strength of the Qing army that might pose a threat to Korea, and in terms of intelligence work, the staff of the Qing army, which had been collected by Japan for more than ten years, even knew its own strength better than the Qing army itself. In his explanation, in addition to the basic strength and equipment of the Qing army, even the difference between the three defense forces was also revealed.

And with his explanation, Tang Haoran's brows became tighter and tighter, although he knew that the combat effectiveness of the Huai army, which was regarded as the "pillar of the empire" by the Manchu court, was also extremely low, but he could take 15,000 people against nearly 90,000 people, and no one could laugh.

"If we have to fight a battle with the Qing army now, how sure are we that we can win!"

In the six months since the establishment of the General Staff, under the guidance of German instructors, three battle plans against the Manchus have been formulated, and these plans are all offensive without exception, and this is also the concept instilled in them by the German instructors in the martial arts hall -- the best defense is to attack. As a senator of the New Army's training department, Shang Dequan, the commander of the first division, naturally knew very well about this.

"Back to the adult's words, if we take advantage of its reaction, our army is ninety percent sure that it will defeat the defenders in the Fengtian area, including the Lushun defenders!"

Shang Dequan's answer made Tang Haoran's brows lock slightly, ninety percent sure of defeating the 30,000 defenders in Fengtian Province, but what if the Qing army mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to counterattack? When the time comes, relying on 30,000 troops, of which 15,000 are new troops just recruited after the Spring Festival, how can they stop the counterattack of hundreds of thousands of Qing troops?

"What if the Qing army deploys troops to fight back?"

In the face of the adult's question, Shang Dequan unexpectedly fell into silence, and even when everyone turned their eyes on him, he was still silent, but at this time his heart seemed a little entangled, he knew that when he stepped on this boat, there was no longer any possibility of getting off the boat.

"My lord, I don't know what the bottom line is right now? So, I don't know how to answer! ”
