"Young marshal, chief of staff, otherwise, this matter of attacking the Beijing Division, let me go to Lao Zhao!" Zhao Bowen rubbed his hands and said. Rush to the capital division! Directly attacking the capital of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, if this is successful, it will be a thing that will last forever! Therefore, since Cai Yun cares about Wang Yuze's identity and does not agree with him to go, of course Zhao Bowen will not let go of this opportunity.

"Don't you think about it!" Wang Yuze rejected Zhao Bowen in one bite. This is the method he came up with, how could he let Zhao Bowen pick this peach?

"Ugh!" Zhao Bowen had to touch his nose, smiled awkwardly, and didn't say anything more.

"Uncle Cai, don't worry! I've got a complete plan. There is absolutely nothing dangerous about it. Now the new army of the Manchu Janissaries has left for Shaanxi, and there are only 100,000 old soldiers left around the Beijing division. Those old soldiers are not very good at defending the city, let alone taking the initiative to attack us. The strength of the two brigades is enough for me to approach the city of Jingshi lightly and retreat along the way! Wang Yuze persuaded again. If Cai Yun didn't agree, he wanted to lead the army to attack the Beijing Division, which would be impossible at all.

"Yu Ze, do you still want to use the strength of two brigades to defeat the Beijing Division? The defense of the Beijing division is much stronger than the Xi'an City in front of him. Those Eight Banners old soldiers, if they want to guard the city, there is no problem. Cai Yun said.

"Uncle Cai, I didn't think about defeating the Jingshi in this battle, I just wanted to speed up the progress of the war. Now, although we have achieved a clear advantage on all fronts. But it will take a lot of time to completely defeat the Manchus. Moreover, during this time, the Great Powers could intervene at any time. If our army can appear in the Jingshi. It will inevitably cause turmoil in the government and the opposition. When the time comes, the Manchu Qing will inevitably send reinforcements to rescue the Beijing division. And the only reinforcements they can draw now seems to be the only one left by the Praetorian New Army who rushed to Xi'an. Xi'an to Beijing, but there are two thousand miles! Let the new Praetorian Guard army go from Beijing to Xi'an, and immediately after coming, they have to rush back from Xi'an to Beijing, even if the new Praetorian Army is an elite division, it is enough to make them a tired army. When the time comes, we can concentrate several brigades of cavalry. Eat them in one fell swoop. At that point, it's time for the big picture to be decided! Wang Yuze said his thoughts.

"That's right! The Janissaries are currently the last mobile forces of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. As long as we eat this army, the Manchus will be all finished! Zhao Bowen also said excitedly. Although he can't lead an army to attack the Beijing Division, if he can participate in the battle to annihilate the new Praetorian Guard. That's not wrong!

"That's a good plan, but I'll have to ask the marshal!" Cai Yun was a little relieved, but he was still unwilling to let Wang Yuze take risks. If something happens, he can't afford it!

"Uncle Cai. From Xi'an to Chengdu, it takes several days to go back and forth! The telegraph line was not erected, and when my father replied, the daylily was cold! You put 10,000 hearts. I'm going to be fine! Wang Yuze hurriedly said.

Cai Yun hesitated, and finally was helpless by Wang Yuze. had to agree to Wang Yuze's request.

"Yu Ze, but you have to promise me. If this is not possible, immediately lead the army to retreat. Also, you can't venture past Kyoshi. Your safety is the most important thing. Cai Yun said solemnly.

"Don't worry, Uncle Cai, I assure you, I will definitely take care of the overall situation!" Wang Yuze assured. He knew that Cai Yun was doing this for his good. Besides, he is also a person who has died once, and he doesn't want to die a second time, so he won't joke with his own life.

Next, Wang Yuze quickly gathered the troops and began to prepare for departure. This time, the two brigades that rushed with him to attack the Beijing Division were the 10th Brigade and the 13th Brigade of the Second Cavalry Army, with a total of more than 17,000 people. If it had been before, the Western Sichuan Army would not have been able to take out so many war horses. However, after the annexation of Qinghai and Gansu, a large number of war horses and horse farms of the Ma Jiajun were taken over, and the war horse resources of the Western Sichuan Army would not be in short supply.

The generals of the 10th and 13th Brigades were also enthusiastic and very excited when they learned that Wang Yuze would lead them to attack the Beijing Division for thousands of miles. Everyone knows that this is a little dangerous, but if it succeeds, it will be a great credit!

In the afternoon, Wang Yuze led the army to set off. They will go north from Xi'an, through Tongchuan, Yan'an, out of the desert from Yulin, along the Gobi to the east, through Suiyuan and Chahar, from Zhangjiakou into Zhili, and the troops will be in Beijing. The whole journey was more than 3,000 miles, but fortunately these areas were all places where the Manchu army was empty, otherwise I am afraid that I would have to spend more time on the road. Even so, Wang Yuze demanded to rush to the capital within a week, so that this attack would remain as sudden as possible.

After Wang Yuze led the army to set off, the western Sichuan army stopped its attack on Xi'an and adopted the tactics of encircling but not fighting. This was a relief to the defenders of Xi'an. Although in the previous battles, they repelled the attacks of the Western Sichuan Army several times, their own casualties were not small, and the artillery of Xi'an City suffered even more losses. Even if those 05mm light howitzers are protected by turrets, they can't withstand the shelling of the Western Sichuan Army! By now, one-third of the cannons on the head of Xi'an have been lost, and if the battle continues, I am afraid that it will not be long before all the cannons in Xi'an will be damaged. The tactics of the Western Sichuan Army encircling but not fighting just echoed the requirements of the Xi'an defenders. Anyway, for them, as long as they hold Xi'an and hold on until reinforcements come, it will be a great achievement!

On the other two fronts, the Western Sichuan Army has also made considerable progress. On the Eastern Front, an army of more than 100,000 led by the chief of staff was already approaching Wuhan at this moment. Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang, was leading more than 100,000 new troops in Hubei Zhili, relying on Jiancheng to make the last resistance. At one time, the two sides engaged in a fierce artillery battle, and the battle was very fierce.

Progress on the southern route is even greater. Wang Wenshao, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, led tens of thousands of remnants of the army to withdraw from Kunming with tens of thousands of defeated generals before the western Sichuan army approached Kunming, and fled all the way east to Liangguang. The Western Sichuan Army has already sent troops to capture all parts of Yunnan and is preparing whether it will be able to attack Guangxi. If Guangxi is taken, western Sichuan will win the coveted outlet to the sea. For the sea outlet, Sichuan has been longing for decades. If access to the sea can be obtained, the foreign trade of the western Sichuan army will no longer be threatened by the Qing court, and at the same time, the western Sichuan army will also develop its own navy, instead of the river fleet with only tricky frigates and gunboats. Wang Xiao had already sent a lot of talented people to the West to study the navy a few years ago, and when the military port and warships were built, they would be able to return to China to serve. It's just that if you take Guangxi, you will inevitably have a conflict with the French. How to deal with this issue will depend on the next development of the situation.

On July, the fifth day of departure from Xi'an, Wang Yuze led his army along the Gobi through the grassland and arrived at Zhangjiakou. It's just that, in order not to attract the attention of the Qing court, the army has always been in the field. Even the herdsmen they met were temporarily imprisoned in order not to leak the news.

"Young master, the front is Zhangjiakou. After Zhangjiakou through Xuanhua, Huailai and Changping, you can go straight to the city of Jingshi. However, this area is densely populated, and it may be more difficult for us to hide our whereabouts anymore! Wang Wei said beside Wang Yuze. Wang Wei has been exercising under Cai Yun for a while, and now he seems to be more mature.

"It doesn't matter, the Jingshi in Zhangjiakou is less than four hundred miles. We will be able to arrive in Beijing by the morning after tomorrow at the latest. For such a short period of time, the Manchus were simply unable to mobilize troops. Besides, they don't have any troops at all! Order the troops, rest for an hour, continue to set off, and camp again after Zhangjiakou! Wang Yuze ordered.

The soldiers were very tired from several days of traveling, even on horseback. In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops, Wang Yuze did not plan to march in a hurry in the last two days, which could be regarded as allowing the soldiers to preserve enough body.

On July 4, Wang Yuze led his army through Xuanhua. The defenders of Xuanhua were shocked when they discovered Wang Yuze's army. On the one hand, they closed the city gates, and on the other hand, they immediately reported to the Jingshi side. Fortunately, Wang Yuze led the army only through Xuanhua, and the soldiers did not attack the city, which made the defenders of Xuanhua breathe a sigh of relief. As the large number of cavalry passed outside Xuanhua City, they were shocked and their scalps were numb. Then the direction in which the cavalry of the Western Sichuan Army marched was the Beijing Division, which made their faces even pale.

Jingshi, as the ruling center of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, although it is now at war with western Sichuan, Jingshi is still very prosperous, with a full flow of people, and it has not been affected by the war at all. However, at noon on July 4, with the urgent telegram sent by Xuanhua, the entire Jingshi fried the pot. The troops stationed outside the city marched into the city in full swing. The outer seven gates of the Jingshi were all closed, and no entry or exit was allowed. At the same time, rumors are also spreading rapidly among the people, saying that the front-line army has lost the battle, and the western Sichuan army is about to kill, which makes those small people who are fighting in panic all day long. If it weren't for the city gates, maybe the ordinary people who took care of the children would have run away a long time ago.

This is true among the people, and even more so in the court. After receiving an urgent telegram from the Xuanhua defenders, the people from the telegraph office broke into the Jinluan Palace, regardless of the fact that the court meeting was going on at the moment. Suddenly, the government and the opposition shook, and all the ministers panicked. Originally, they thought that although the front line was rotten, it was still thousands of miles away from the capital! Who would have thought that the Western Sichuan Army was already close at hand!
