Dagu Fort.

"My lord, the Taiwan Navy Battalion is here." Adjutant General Han Zhaoqi hurriedly walked into the barracks of Luo Rongguang, the general of Tianjin Town, and said.

"Come on, it's not the first time they've come." Luo Rongguang said very casually, this old guy is also in his sixties this year, and he has been guarding this fortress for almost twenty years, and his chief soldier yamen is not far from here, but he rarely goes over, and most of the time, including sleeping, he lives on the fort.

"It's all here!" Han Zhaoqi said with a solemn expression.

"What's all here?" Luo Rongguang didn't react for a while.

"The flagship Marauder, eight destroyers, six landing ships, plus Yang Feng's black ship, a total of sixteen warships are all here." Han Zhaoqi said.

"What are they going to do? Ring the alarm bells, and all the batteries are on alert!" Luo Rongguang jumped up suddenly, carrying his waist knife and shouting and running out, he is not a fool, the Taiwan Navy Battalion Defense Area is not Dagukou, it is normal for one or two ships to do something, it is very abnormal for the whole team to drive over, and it will be obvious if the landing ships are driven over.

The alarm bell sounded immediately on the five forts in the north and south of Dagukou, and then thousands of soldiers began to rush to their posts, it should be said that the training level of these defenders is still very good, otherwise the Eight-Nation Alliance Army would not have suffered such a big loss in the later battle of Dagukou, more than 100 guns of large and small calibers quickly pointed into the distance, and more than a dozen warships on the sea were moored outside the firing range.

It didn't take long for a dinghy to drop from the black boat and drive over.

"Yuan Weiting, what are you doing at Dagukou?" Luo Rongguang looked at Yuan Shikai who was picked up to the fort and said coldly.

"Lord Luo, look at what you said, Taiwan's naval division is the army of the imperial court, why can't you enter this Dagu mouth, the lower official is also an official of the imperial court, the commander of the Xinqing army, it seems that you don't need to ask Lord Luo if you want to go anywhere, but Lord Luo, what do you mean by this, aiming at your own naval division warship with cannons. What do you mean by that?" Yuan Shikai said dissatisfiedly that the 5,000 members of his Qinqing Army were directly left in Tokyo by Yang Feng to continue to fight with the Germans because of their poor combat effectiveness, but he himself was brought by Yang Feng and used as his main assistant.

In fact, he also knew very well that after withdrawing from Japan this time, if he did not be ruthless, he was afraid that not only would his official position not be guaranteed, but he would also have to go to prison if he did not do well, and he could see this more clearly than Song Qing and others, and now the entire army stationed in Japan has been branded with the imperialist party. It was strange that Cixi could continue to keep them after the war, so he is now Yang Feng's staunchest supporter of the mutiny.

"There is an order from the Ministry of War, and all the armies of the Japanese army surrender to the Japanese army on the spot in Tokyo, and if you do not have a new order, it will be an unauthorized return, and the duty of the officer before the order is disposed of by the Ministry of War, and you must not allow you to disturb the place." Luo Rongguang said lightly, he is not stupid, how can he be bluffed by Yuan Shikai's words, the disposal orders of the various armies in the Japanese have long been known to the whole country, although he is very sympathetic to their suffering. However, it is their duty to guard the Dagu Pass, and it is absolutely impossible to let an army act without an order.

"Then Lord Lauro will ask the court." Yuan Shikai said that this had long been expected by him, and he came just to improve the process.

Of course, Luo Rongguang had to ask for instructions. After Li Hongzhang went to Shanghai for treatment, Wang Wenshao, the deputy minister of Beiyang, sat in Tianjin, and the Dagu Fort had a telephone directly to the governor's yamen. And Li Hongzhang is tantamount to showing his attitude, since he, the official governor of Zhili, doesn't want to get into this troubled water, what is he doing as a temporary agent. Just continue to play the imperial court.

Cixi was also stunned when she heard the news, but she didn't think about Yang Feng's mutiny at all, in fact, Yang Feng was not a mutiny at this time, at most it was a transfer without authorization, and besides, he hadn't really incited his soldiers, and the real conspiracy was still continuing.

"This monkey cub still dares to run to Tianjin, tell Wang Wenshao, let him take people to Dagukou, and directly take down Yang Feng and others." Cixi said with a sneer.

Just as she was giving this order, Master Weng hurriedly entered the palace with a telegram sent by Yang Feng to Guangxu and found the little dog.

"Your Majesty, the 10,000 Japanese troops commanded by Lord Yang have arrived at the mouth of Dagu, according to what he said, the soldiers of all departments are sad and indignant about the orders of the imperial court, and they want to go to the capital to complain about their grievances, this is a godsend, if these 10,000 people go to Beijing, then your Majesty can achieve great things." Master Weng said excitedly, how many years have I finally waited for this day.

Guangxu still sat there half-dead and couldn't make up his mind, this guy grew up in the shadow of Cixi, and the fear of her can already be said to be deep in the bone marrow, let alone rebelling against her, he didn't even dare to think about it.

"Your Majesty, can you bear to let your concubine be beaten to death by the Queen Mother?" Concubine Zhen lay on the bed and said complainingly, this little hoof now gritted his teeth with hatred for Cixi, and wanted to kick her down quickly, and then find an opportunity to pour her a cup of poisonous wine, and watched her bleed and scream from the sidelines, just like when she was beaten by her.

"Your Majesty, the opportunity must not be missed, now with only a holy decree, Yang Feng and other troops can enter Beijing, and then your Majesty will fly into the sky." Master Weng anxiously urged on the side, he is really anxious now, this kind of thing can't be hidden for a long time, sooner or later it will have to be exposed, if Cixi knows that she jumps up and down to seize her power, I'm afraid it will be a disaster to destroy the door, and the life and death of the Weng family can be at this moment.

"Your Majesty, Lord Wang asks to see you." At this time, a little eunuch came in and said, he was talking about Wang Mingluan, the right servant of the imperial party, and now several main figures around Guangxu have been cleaned up by Cixi, and Zaishu has even been thrown to the Zongren Mansion to circle up, and there is still Master Weng and his disciples, and then there is this Wang Mingluan, originally in history, this goods were quickly dismissed and never used.

"Biography!" The little dog said weakly.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has sent an order to Wang Wenshao and asked him to go to Dagukou to arrest Yang Feng and others." Wang Mingluan said anxiously as soon as he came in.

"Your Majesty hesitates again It's too late, even though Yang Feng is full of loyalty, but the division out of the nameless Nai soldier He, if the holy decree to encourage the army, and the name is right, the grief and indignation of the department will definitely obey the order, Wang Wenshao and a literati, the defenders of the Dagu Fort are only three thousand, 10,000 to fight the elite of the Japanese people can go down with a drum, all the armies in Beiyang have been transferred to the northeast, Tianjin has almost no soldiers, although there are tens of thousands of troops defending in Beijing, but there is no soldier to fight, there is absolutely no power to resist, and most of them are wait-and-see, when the soldiers come to the city, His Majesty knows it with great righteousness, and this generation will definitely turn against each other. Master Weng couldn't wait to say.

"Your Majesty, if you hesitate again, the concubine will simply hang herself, and you will never be able to suffer this fragmentary humiliation again." Concubine Zhen cried, and then struggled to find the rope.

At this time, a man couldn't help it, no matter how cowardly the puppy was, it was still a little bloody, gritted his teeth and got up to write a holy decree to Yang Feng, and after covering the jade seal, Master Weng took it out and handed it to O'Connor, and then O'Connor personally drove the car to Dagukou.

At this time, Wang Wenshao, who got the telegram, also got up and boarded the ship and headed for Dagukou.

The two sides are still in confrontation outside the mouth of Dagu, and the emotions of the soldiers on the landing ships have begun to get a little out of control, and even many of them ran to the deck to shout and curse at the forts, and many people asked their respective commanders to ask for a forced landing.

Boss Yang sat on the deck of the Nautilus in the distance, and in order to behave formally today, he even put on his zombie suit, speaking of which, this is the first time he has worn an official uniform, wearing dragon scale armor inside and a zombie costume on the outside, and he has made himself big and round, looking quite a bit of tiger and wolf.

The Marauder next to him was also prepared, a cannon aimed at the Dagu Battery, and a poison gas bomb was waiting for it, of course, it was not mustard gas but phenychloroacetophenone, although this thing is also lethal, but it is much worse than mustard gas, mainly because of the tear gas.

The small steamer that Wang Wenshao was riding on was more than 10 knots on the inland river, and O'Connor's car was the latest model of the Young's Automobile Company of the United States, and it could use a four-cylinder gasoline engine to travel more than 50 kilometers on the dirt road at the fastest, and almost arrived at the mouth of Dagu at the same time as Wang Wenshao, and then boarded a small boat that had been arranged for a long time and went directly onto the Nautilus.

At this time, Wang Wenshao also took the soldiers to the fort.

"Take it!" He pointed at Yuan Shikai and said, the soldiers behind him immediately stepped forward to tie up Yuan Shikai, and the eldest brother looked at O'Connor, who had already boarded the Nautilus in the distance, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, I don't know what crime the official has committed?"

Wang Wenshao glanced at him and said expressionlessly: "Disobey orders on the battlefield and return without permission."

"Lord Wang, where did you start with this?" Yuan Shikai pretended to be surprised and said.

"Weiting, Japan's affairs are really not your fault, it is indeed difficult for a strong man to let you surrender to the enemy in the event of victory, but this court has its own laws, you don't have to worry too much, the main responsibility for this matter is not you, you are also loyal, the old man will exonerate you." Wang Wenshao said earnestly.

"Lord Wang, the lower officials really don't understand what you are talking about, the lower officials only know that we are returning to the country by order this time, and we are ordered to enter Beijing, is it wrong to follow the emperor's holy decree?" Yuan Shikai said with a cruel smile.

Wang Wenshao was excited, he immediately understood that this pool of muddy water was far deeper than he imagined, and he couldn't figure out that this was a real whirlpool, he subconsciously raised his head, and saw Yang Feng on the black boat in the distance waving towards him like a yellow thing, at this time he didn't understand what was going on.

This guy is also cunning and makes a choice almost instantly.

"Hurry up and loosen the ties, why didn't you say it earlier?" He said reproachfully. (To be continued......)
