After introducing the various situations that have happened in the recent period to Li Zhongtang, Yang Shipai and Sheng Huaixuan immediately regretted it.

Worried that Li Zhongtang, who had just woken up, would not be able to get up in one breath, and fainted directly again.

For this reason, they hurriedly looked at the Zhongtang Lord on the bed, and made sure that something was wrong, so they hurriedly called the Imperial Doctor Xue in to save people.

Miraculously, Li Zhongtang, who vomited blood twice in a row and fainted.

I don't know what I'm thinking in my heart, but now I seem to have seen it completely, and my face is calm.

After being silent for a moment, Li Zhongtang said in his mouth: "Shipai and Huaixuan, you two don't need to panic, the old man is not as unbearable as the two of you think."

In fact, you just mentioned the various reactions of the imperial court, the governors of the provinces, and the great powers, and when I saw the message of the sailor, I thought about it, and I fainted in a hurry.

But now that I've figured it out, there is no turning point in this crisis.

As long as the Xuange battalion withstood the attack of the Yin Law Expeditionary Fleet, things would not come to the worst level; Even if Daqing dies, at least they still plant flowers, but it can be regarded as a change of dynasty.

So how exactly to deal with it? Let's just wait and see what happens, and we don't have to do anything.

If the Xuange battalion can hold the Yin Law Expeditionary Fleet, everything will naturally be fine; If they are also destroyed, it will be up to the little devils and the great powers to put forward any more conditions.

Look at how big a piece of flesh and blood they tore off Daqing's body.

Completely annex the entire Daqing? Not. ”

After finishing speaking, Li Zhongtang seemed to have consumed all his energy, slowly closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep again.

Seeing this, Yang Shijian and Sheng Huaixuan obviously still had countless things to say and ask in their hearts, so they could only retreat from this place first.

After the two of them went out, a group of Beiyang officials who were waiting outside surrounded them.

The mouth asked, how is the health of Lord Zhongtang, and more importantly, how should they deal with the next important questions.

It's just that in the face of these inquiries, Sheng Huaixuan and Yang Shipai didn't know what to say.

Because for Li Zhongtang's mouth, as long as the Xuange battalion withstood the attack of the Yin Law fleet, then things would still have a turn for the better, but they didn't have any confidence in their hearts.

Joke! In order to destroy the Xuange camp, the people of the Yin Kingdom even sent out the Sovereign-class battleship "Sovereign" that had just been launched for more than a year.

Even if the two of them are laymen about battleships, they can know that this thing is the artifact of the Great Yin Empire.

The ship is strong and the guns are sharp, and the combat effectiveness is simply desperate.

Even if the Xuange battalion has secretly had some other arrangements in the recent year, it is nothing more than building some shore defense cannons, how to deal with this kind of behemoth on the sea?

Could it be that with their two battleships that had been seriously damaged in yesterday's Battle of Dadonggou.

Plus the two old ironclads that were obtained from the Dutch people......

Saying! In addition to Li Zhongtang, there are many people who can see that the battle between the Xuange Battalion and the Yin Law Expeditionary Fleet is related to the Far East.

Or even the pattern of the entire planet for some time to come.

The difference is that not many people will have the confidence of a mystery like Li Zhongtang in Xuan Geying.

Without him! As the Great Yin of the Empire on which the sun never sets, he has been invincible on this planet at sea for too long, and the number of warships, strength, and the quality of sailors have reached the point of despair.

Therefore, as that fleet got closer and closer to Surabaya City, all sides were waiting for the final result of this battle while making various preparations.

Summer Palace, Le Shou Tang,

In the solemn atmosphere that makes people feel dead silence, the old witch, Guangxu, and Daqing's military ministers have been sitting here for a whole day.

These most powerful people in the entire Daqing Imperial Court, what are they sitting here for?

Of course, we discussed how to deal with and solve the various crises that Daqing is currently facing.

It's a pity, just like Li Zhongtang's rebellious statements, these people were invited here early in the morning, and they ate and drank a lot of tea, snacks, etc.

Even a few ministers of military aircraft who were addicted to duck chips secretly swallowed a few cooked opium and resisted their addiction.

But time has been consumed for a long time, and no countermeasures have been discussed.

For example: mobilize the first town of the New Army to participate in the war?

In response to such a proposal, Emperor Guangxu and Weng Tonghe resolutely refused to agree; shouted that in the capital division, there must be no strong guards.

In essence, it is still reluctant to lose this henchman armed force.

Mobilize the boxers of the righteous hequan to participate in the war? Guangxu only proposed, and after the old witch's eyes glared, he didn't dare to mention it again.

Let Weng Tonghe almost die of anger in front of his unlucky student.

Except for the eastern province of Guangdong, the governors of the provinces refused to send troops to the war, what should they do? What else can I do, these people have not been in the court for a day or two.

In addition, under the fact that the law does not blame the public this time, they are unwilling to send troops, and the court really has no way to do it.

As for the Guangdong Province side, why are they so cooperative? One of the most critical reasons is not how the eastern province of Guangdong is loyal to the imperial court.

is just Li Hanzhang, the governor of Liangguang and the governor of Guangdong, who is Li Zhongtang's eldest brother.

Otherwise, every year, Mao's three warships of the Guangdong East Naval Division, including Guangjia, Guangyi, and Guangbing, will participate in the naval drills of the Beiyang Naval Division, as well as participate in the 'Gaosheng Incident' and the Battle of Dadonggou?

It's completely Li Hanzhang, who is supporting his brother.

Urgently form a new army to block the little devils from entering the northeast.

Naturally, a great good thing, but where does the silver come from?

To say that the Daqing Imperial Court has no silver in its hands now, it is naturally impossible, and even the old witch has a special fund of more than one million taels of silver.

It's just that these silvers are all old witches who have already spent millions of taels.

It is prepared for the 60th birthday of the 10th day of the 10th lunar month, that is, the day of November 7th.

When the time comes, it will be used to invite opera troupes, all kinds of purchases, reward to princes, ministers and families, and even reward wine, meat, and gifts to the long-lived old people in Jingshi City.

Therefore, moving such a sum of money will make the old witch's 60th birthday unhappy.

And once the old witch is unhappy, with her kind of retribution, I am afraid that she will make the other party unhappy for the rest of her life.

No one dared to mention the proposal to use this sum of money.

In the absence of money, it is impossible to start a new army.

So, in line with the idea of not offending both sides if you say less and not saying anything, except for Weng Tong and the emperor and minister of military aircraft, they occasionally spoke up to help Emperor Guangxu.

In the case of several other military ministers, who simply don't speak, it would be strange if these people could negotiate a solution.

In the end, after a day of empty work, the old witch lost her energy, and at first she was a little unbearable.

After putting down the snuffbox in his hand, he opened his mouth and shouted: "Let's discuss here today, everyone will disperse like this, and you can make your own decisions tomorrow."

After all, in this Daqing state affair, where is it my turn to worry about the truth of a woman's family.

Besides, this matter is inevitably not a good thing, at least the rebellion of the Xuan Ge camp is dead.

The Xuange camp is the big trouble for our Daqing, as for the Western devils and little devils, even if they cut some more land to them, my Daqing is still there. ”

When everyone heard this, it was really such a truth, and they immediately said goodbye and left.

Prepare for the results of the Xuange Battalion and the Yin Law Expeditionary Fleet, and see what conditions the great powers and little devils will put forward at that time, and then do some other calculations.

Before that, of course, I don't care about it, and I can relax for a day as much as I can......

And at the top of the above Daqing, in the Leshoutang of the Summer Palace, they were silent one by one.

In a small braised meat shop only ten miles away from the Summer Palace, Tan Fusheng and a group of scholars no longer knew how much wine they had drunk.

Even their breath smells of alcohol.

Without him, it was they who were stimulated too much in just a few days.

After hearing the news that the Huai army in Asahi Island had been defeated by the little devils, they felt fear and confusion in anger.

Thinking about this big man, are you so weak that you can't even beat the little devils?

Decades of foreign business, isn't it of any use?

When the news that the Beiyang Fleet and the Xuange Battalion joined forces and completely wiped out the combined fleet of the island nation, it was indescribably exciting and happy.

Everywhere is advocating that the court must severely punish the little devils, as well as the Zhaoan Xuange camp.

The result was not happy for long, and the bad news that the two countries were going to help the little devils transport soldiers and supplies came again, and they were given a hard stick to the head.

Daqing can't even deal with the little devils, and now with the addition of Yin Fa, the two top powers, is there any hope for this court?

In front of the cruel reality, under the anger in their hearts, they have no other better way but to drink to vent and relieve their worries.

For a while, in the large and small taverns in Jingshi City, it seemed that these drunken readers could be seen.

However, if you want to say that one of the most fierce drinkers and the most helpless in his heart is Tan Fusheng, the first person of the younger generation in the big green stream.

If he could, he would be drunk to death now.

If you have a reason, he finally accepted a cruel reality, the Daqing Imperial Court seems to have no hope, that is, Emperor Guangxu will immediately pro-government and reform is useless.

But in his heart, it was the Xuange Camp that could be regarded as a backup choice.

Now it is also facing the attack of the Yin Law Expeditionary Fleet, this catastrophe.

It was also at such a time that Tan Fusheng, who gave up all his illusions about Daqing, knew the importance of Xuange Camp for planting flowers.

And what a beautiful thing it would be if it was to take the great green and replace it.

The problem is that by now, it seems like it's too late to say anything......

******

Still at the same time, but the place was changed to the port of Yokohama of the island nation.

Under the light of the large incandescent lights on the pier, under the orders of a group of little devils with rifles on their backs, they were starting to board the merchant ships of the Yin Law and other powers along the trestle.

While waiting to board the ship, Private Kenichi Sato.

He couldn't help but twist his head and look at the large number of people who were seeing him off at the side.

It's just that no matter how hard he tries to find it, he can't see the existence of his wife, Mieko; Suddenly, in my heart, I was a little lost.

Kenichi Sato, a private in the 3rd Guards Infantry Wing of the Guards Division.

Originally, as the general guard division of His Majesty's Praetorian Guard, their main job on weekdays was to protect the safety of the imperial palace and the capital of the island country.

Therefore, Kenichi Sato had never imagined that the empire would one day dispatch them in a foreign war.

However, what has happened in the island country in the past few days is inevitably too much.

A day ago, the entire island nation had not yet recovered from the occupation of Asahima, and such good news came to a great deal of bad news.

The empire has put in a lot of effort, and even His Majesty only eats one meal a day, and the combined fleet that he saved money to build was completely destroyed in the Great Donggou War.

I don't know how the news was leaked out, and I can't do it if I want to block it.

Immediately, countless angry and desperate people rushed into the streets, smashing and rioting everywhere, in addition to the naval headquarters being smashed, and by the way, a number of rice shops were robbed.

Under the leadership of Prince Komatsu, Kenichi Sato and others hurriedly dispatched to suppress these mobs everywhere.

Just when their Guards Division was facing a staggering number of mobs, they were on the move, and some of them were at the expense of one or the other.

There is another good news: the two countries are willing to help them transport troops and supplies, which can be regarded as an expression of their support for them in this war.

It means that they have ushered in a huge turning point in such a war with Daqing.

The mob, who were still rioting one second ago, began to cheer loudly the next second they heard the news, "Long live the island country", "Long live Your Majesty", "Long live the Yin country"~

Then, the island nation, which grabbed the last straw, began to go even more crazy.

This is not! Even their Praetorian Guard, which was responsible for defending His Majesty, was now incorporated into the Second Army.

In the shortest possible time, they began to board merchant ships that had been requisitioned and hired by the headquarters from various ports, and transported them to Asahima.

Subsequently, there were several reservists, which were urgently mobilized.

Because all the people of the island nation know that if the island nation loses this war, then they will be completely finished.

Fortunately, with the support of Yin Law and other powers, Sato Kenichi couldn't imagine that they would fight against the corrupt Daqing, where could they still fail.

In the previous battle, Daqing was the strongest Huai army, and all kinds of weakness and ugliness were also revealed in front of their eyes.

The problem is that, although he has enough confidence in this battle, Kenichi Sato still wants to see his wife say goodbye before leaving.

Unfortunately, soon after, it will be the turn of their squadron to board the ship.

Just when this senior soldier of the island country was a little lost.

Suddenly, a familiar figure, dressed in a floral kimono that is usually only worn during festivals, trotted towards him, it was his wife Mieko.

After running over, Mieko solemnly handed over a white belt.

At the same time, he explained in his mouth: "Sato-kun, because of the delay in making this thousand needles, I almost didn't catch up~"

The so-called thousand-person needle, about a meter long, is sewn by a thousand women on it.

The Thousand People Needle is a gift given by the women of the island country when the soldiers are leaving at home, which is used to bless the soldiers with a long military fortune and get lucky favors on the battlefield.

In the future of World War II, this practice reached its peak.

After taking the thousand-person needle very carefully, looking at the dense threads on it, Kenichi Sato felt the deep friendship of his wife.

After the eye socket turned red, it immediately said:

"Mieko, don't worry, I will definitely come back alive, because the newspaper said that those backward soldiers in Daqing are some waste, and one island country soldier can beat ten of them.

A warrior like me Sato can defeat at least twenty of them.

That's right! Do you need any loot from Qingguo as a gift, I will definitely bring it back to you when the time comes. ”

"Really? That's great. After hearing this, Mieko immediately shouted in a tone full of surprise: "I hope that when the time comes, there can be a hairpin used by the ladies of the Qingguo."

The wife of the Yamashita family has a silver hairpin from Qingguo, but it has been envied by everyone for a long time~"

"Okay, I'll definitely bring you a prettier and more precious blonde hairpin." Kenichi Sato was in his mouth, so reassured.

How did the promised hairpin come about? Of course, he didn't rely on his meager military salary to buy it, but asked young people to rob it.

In the time that followed, Kenichi Sato's 3rd Guards Wing was all boarded; Amid the sound of loud whistles, merchant ships set off overnight.

On the wharf, a staggering number of people from the island countries were cheering loudly, expecting that these island soldiers would be able to bring rich bloody loot and compensation from Daqing when they returned.

In short, if there is a tsunami that drowns them now, the families of these invaders.

Of these guys who are looking forward to human blood steamed buns, one of them is not an innocent person......

Still at the same time, somewhere in the Yellow Sea.

Hu Biao, Shadow Rider, Wu Pawn, Little White Face, led by the Guifei and Fenghuahui, two battleships full of scars; After a day and a night of sailing, it was already five or six hundred kilometers away.

(Originally, the little brother of the cross was arranged in the naval battle of Dadonggou.)

But the author of the street hit misremembered and made a little white face; So here's an adjustment, the cross will be arranged in the subsequent battle with the Yin Law Expeditionary Fleet. ）

Since they separated from the Beiyang fleet, they have been rushing back towards the South Seas day and night.

As for the two headless corpses of the concubine, they are now packed into a system ring, and with the general characteristics of time freezing in the system ring, there is no need to worry about decay.

At this moment, Hu Biao, who had already woken up, stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the stars in the sky and frowning tightly.

On the one hand, he saw the headless corpse of the concubine, and he knew why the concubine's behavior was so abnormal in the previous time.

even found her cousin Xiaomei and confessed some strange words.

Because he kept telling himself that as long as the task was completed, the concubine would definitely be resurrected in the system; But it was an unreasonable feeling of uneasiness, and it became more and more intense.

I always feel that this one thing is going to be something.

On the other hand, he knew that there was no way for his people to catch up with the battle between the Xuange Battalion and the Yin Law Expeditionary Fleet.

Because according to the contents of the telegram, the Yin French fleet is now only a little more than a hundred nautical miles away from the Strait of Malacca.

This more crucial naval battle is about to begin, and it will take several days for them to arrive......
