To the surprise of Youpeng in Shanxian County, he encountered the first real bloody battle in Liaoyang, and the garrison troops dominated by the Hunan army were led by the veteran Wei Guangtao and actually played street battles with him in this ancient city. Although the flag army was so frightened by the artillery fire that it fled before the Japanese army entered the city, Li Guangjiu, a veteran general who had followed Zuo Zongtang's westward expedition and the son of Li Xubin, the number one general of the Hunan army, still led 10,000 Hunan troops to fight the Japanese army here for three days, and left the only respectable battle for the Liaodong battlefield with the lives of 4,000 Hunan troops.

The Japanese also lost more than 2,000 in this battle, but these were meaningless, they got what they wanted, and Mukden officially opened its doors to them.

Hearing this news, Cixi immediately panicked, knowing that it was the ancestral tomb of the Qing Dynasty royal family, in case the Japanese occupied it, and then the ancestral tomb was picked up, how would they see the ancestors and ancestors in the future.

"Sixth, you understand foreign affairs, hurry up and find foreigners to help make peace, we can't fight this battle, and if we continue to fight, it will be a big sin to disturb the mausoleum of Taizu Taizong." She said to Devil Six with a sad face, she has played her little uncle like dough all these years, and now when she is in trouble, she wants him to go out of the top tank.

"Queen Mother, didn't Liu Kunyi arrive at Yingkou? As long as he can recapture Haicheng, he can approach the rear of the Japanese army, at that time, the Fengtian crisis will be naturally lifted, and it can be seen from the battle of Liaoyang that the Hunan army is still very capable of fighting, and there are friends in Shanxian who are alone and helpless, as long as my armies from all walks of life arrive, they will inevitably be captured. The devil said hurriedly, and at the same time secretly despised his sister-in-law in his heart, you treat me as a fool, and now at this time, I ask the Japanese army for peace, and I have to drown my spit.

What a shameless thing this has to be done, Japan is about to be beaten into ruins by the Eight-Nation Alliance, and the 30,000 lone troops here will beat the imperial court to peace. It's too bizarre, but more importantly, almost half of the eight-nation alliance is still Chinese, and I don't want to be embarrassed if you want to.

"Sixth, then you should pay attention, we, orphans and widows, are now in a mess." Cixi said that she was determined to let her brother-in-law go out of the top tank, speaking of which, she didn't care much about the grave of the wild boar skin, his surname was Aixin Jueluo and his surname was Yehenara, and his grave was not a matter of letting people take care of their own. But the problem is that he is now the boss of the Aixin Jueluo family, so he has to be a showman in this matter.

This morning's newspaper just said that Taiwan's Admiral Yang Feng captured the famous Japanese city of Tokushima, and Sichuan Admiral Song Qing and others defeated the Japanese army again in Tokyo, and now the imperial court is running to beg for mercy from a Japanese division, which is estimated to make foreigners laugh to death, but otherwise the Japanese will enter Mukden and humiliate the grave of wild boar skin, which will make her be unanimously accused by the royal family, large and small. That's why I thought of this way to get the best of both worlds, anyway, my orphans and widows have a reason to pretend to be stupid, and then let the devil six go to be scolded!

When the devil saw that his sister-in-law was determined to let himself go out of the tank, he simply found a substitute for the ghost.

"Queen Mother. Li Hongzhang has always been responsible for matters related to foreign affairs, so it is better to leave this matter of peace negotiation to him. Devil Six said, he won't be fooled like this. Will you look for a substitute for the dead, won't I find it? So he pushed Li Hongzhang out very unjustly, and besides, the Minister of Beiyang has always been responsible for foreign affairs all these years, and the Prime Minister's Yamen has become a virtual reality.

Speaking of this, Li Hongzhang. The mourning family is still angry now, if he had transferred Nie Shicheng and others from Asan to Liaodong, how could he still let the Japanese disturb Taizu, speaking of which the Han people are unreliable, now our family is talking about a heart-wrenching word, we really can't fight this battle. Cixi said earnestly, at this time she didn't pretend to be stupid.

"What this Japanese people want, is nothing more than some money, at most more land, we want money is nothing more than to charge more taxes, the Qing Dynasty is not short of silver, 40,000 people will receive one tael for 40,000 taels, we can afford to lose, as for the land, the world is ours, we love to give to whomever we want.

But this Han people are powerful, what we want is our country, in the past, our Eight Banners could fight, and lay down these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, but this thing is not only to be laid, but also to be kept, not to mention now, when we beat the long hair, our Eight Banners have become a waste, but at that time, there was still a monk king in town, and after the death of the monk king, the mourning family was heartbroken, so as to maintain the current situation.

You are so good at doing foreign affairs, so you feel that the mourning family is pressing you, but have you thought about it, who is the beneficiary of foreign affairs? It's a Han person, don't the mourning family know that it is very dangerous for the Beiyang Naval Division to start a war without adding a boat for so many years? But the mourning family can't add to Li Hongzhang, we are full of people who don't have a fight, so the mourning family has to limit the strength of the Han people, at least so that they can't dare to be ambitious.

Why don't you want to fight this war, if there is no war, we have a reason to cut off the soldiers in the hands of those Han people, and then slowly train us to be full of people, but once the war is fought, we can't help but let them expand the army, just like now, isn't there only one of us Manchu people who can fight on the battlefield? Do you think that if the Han people join forces to seize this country at this time, Iketanga will be able to stop it?

This has just been fought for less than a year, and it will be like Changmao for more than ten years, how many soldiers and generals the Han people have in their hands, I am afraid that there are tens of millions, even if they don't want to have ambitions at that time, they have to have it, so this battle can't be fought, even if they pay some money to foreigners, they can't fight some land. "Cixi can be regarded as talking to Devil Six this time.

Of course, her sincere feelings did not impress the devil six, anyway, there is no difference between carrying the black pot and Li Hongzhang's back to Cixi, as long as he doesn't carry it, and there is a benefit to letting Li Hongzhang carry it, if he is not willing to make peace, then transfer the troops of Asan to the army, withdraw the Japanese soldiers, and go to Liaodong Dashan County to have friends, don't think that the old lady doesn't know what you are doing with that Yang Feng now, the two of you are rich and full of gold and silver, but you put the old lady and me aside to spend the days like a year, how can there be such a good thing in the world.

When Li Hongzhang received Cixi's request to ask the British whether he would mediate peace talks with the Japanese army, so as not to disturb the mausoleum of Taizu Taizong by artillery fire, he was immediately dumbfounded, and he naturally understood that Cixi asked him to jump into the fire pit, and whoever did this work at this time would immediately become the target of public criticism, saying that it was light to drown in saliva.

He is not stupid and will not accept this kind of doomed and unlucky work, so he hurriedly replied to the telegram that Chen Wei could easily sue for peace, and that there were friends in the mountain county who were alone and helpless, and it was bound to not last long, as long as Liu Kunshuai's army arrived, it would inevitably force him to return to defense, and the danger of Fengtian would be solved at that time.

In order to ensure everything, it is necessary to transfer the Yashan army back to defend Liaodong, and land directly at Yingkou by sea transportation, and at the same time order the Lushun garrison to send the elite north, Cixi is worried about the more than 20,000 elites in his hands It is not a day, these people are not consumed on the battlefield, but it makes her sleep and eat.

Li Hongzhang weighed it again and again, and decided to draw some people back from Asan for her, Liu Mingchuan, Nie Shicheng and Zhang Gaoyuan did not move, and continued to be a nail in Tian'an and Cheng Huan, just said that Oshima Yoshimasa began to attack again, as for what he had the courage to attack, it didn't matter, and then let Ye Zhichao lead 5,000 people to Liaodong, plus Shandong's 5,000 recruits to make 10,000 people enough.

However, this guy is also very insidious, the speed of troop transfer is extremely slow, it took Ye Zhichao's department a full five days to withdraw from Ashan, and at this time, Youpeng in Shan County had already hit Fengtian City, and at the same time, Liu Kunyi led the 30,000 Qing troops who were pieced together and began to counterattack Haicheng, and Youpeng in Shan County put a whole brigade here, and when the Japanese artillery under Fengtian City was bombarded, the artillery of the Qing army outside Haicheng also sounded.

"Sons, kill me!" In the explosion of the shells, an old general with a full beard roared with a prancing horse and a horizontal sword, and more than 3,000 cavalry behind him immediately began to charge, and the scene of thousands of horses galloping could be seen that the army was boiling with blood one by one, and the Japanese shells kept exploding in the cavalry, but those fierce northwest sons were not afraid, accompanied by a strange roar and rushed to the Japanese trenches in front, and then the Makqin machine gun on the opposite side rang out.

Shan County Youpeng received more than 30 Makqin from the Qing army during this time, all of which were assigned to Lieutenant General Sakuma Zuo Matthew who stayed in Haicheng, and now these killing machines that spray death have become the nightmare of Dong Fuxiang's cavalry from the northwest, these poor ghosts with single-shot black huoyao horse pistols have never seen this thing, and they came one by one with the dream of dyeing the red top with blood, but it didn't take five minutes to be shattered by the machine gun.

Countless cavalry fell on the way to the charge, and the corpses of men and horses stretched forward on the Liaodong Plain.

Like when he followed Zuo Zongtang to fight Agu Bai, Dong Fuxiang, who was brandishing a saber and rushing to the front, was directly hit by a bullet in the leg, this guy screamed and almost fell off the horse, and the BMW under his seat was also hit by several bullets at the same time, and he turned around and ran away with a scream, and the cavalry under his command were also disrupted by machine guns at this time, and they ran back one by one, and now they were dumbfounded by the Qing infantry who followed the charge.

The frightened war horses didn't care about them, and the infantry was suddenly disrupted, and the originally fierce attack collapsed in an instant.

Liu Kun, who was watching the battle from behind, gave the order to withdraw the troops with a blushing face, and at the same time, the leader of the Hunan army also understood that the war was no longer the image in his mind. (To be continued......)
