With the issuance of one order after another, the atmosphere in Osaka Castle immediately became tense, and none of the generals knew what was going on, one thing was certain, it was absolutely impossible for the Japanese army to sneak attack, after all, Osaka Castle is currently considered to be the rear, the troops are divided into pieces, scattered in all directions, and it is impossible for the Japanese army to touch Osaka silently.

It can't be the Japanese army, so who is Yiyun so nervous, who to guard against? Who else could there be besides Yuan Qi? Thinking that the enemy they were facing was the Yuanqi New Army, all the generals were uneasy, for so many years, they had been taking the Yuanqi New Army as an imaginary enemy, and they were naturally very clear about the combat power of the Yuanqi New Army, and it was not something they could compete with at all.

What's more, they are currently in Osaka, the country of Wa, and Yuan Qi can put them in a desperate situation as long as he defeats the Beiyang Naval Division! For a while, the people in Osaka Castle were panicked, and the generals sent people to the headquarters to inquire about the situation, but they could not find out any news, which made them even more uneasy.

Yi Xun was also uneasy in his heart, frowning and pacing back and forth in the wide headquarters, the cable telegraph suddenly malfunctioned and could not contact the troops scattered everywhere, he didn't know if it was a coincidence or someone deliberately, but in his guess, it should be the latter.

The cable telegraph has developed rapidly in the Qing Dynasty in recent years, and even the remote prefectures and counties have been connected to the cable telegraph, but the cable telegraph has not been popularized to the New Army of the Eight Banners, but the cable telegraph has been connected to the military camp station.

All the communication troops in Osaka were transferred from Yuanqi's new army to assist, although he was suspicious in his heart, but he didn't dare to openly question, let alone ask, one was just his speculation, and secondly, now they can say that they have to rely on Yuanqi everywhere, and it is impossible to take the initiative to fall out with Yuanqi, and on the other hand, he also needs to rely on the communication battalion to keep in touch with the Jingshi.

After pacing back and forth for countless circles, he stopped, the top priority is to figure out Yuan Qi's attitude, if Yuan Qi assists Yixun, it will be a knife and I will be a fish and meat, only for the sake of slaughter, he might as well hand over the military power happily, and there will be fewer deaths.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in his early forties in a military uniform walked in quickly, this person's name is Ruan Yuandu, who is Yiyun's most relied on staff. ”

"Zhong Qing came just in time." Yi Xun stretched out his hand to give up his seat, glanced at the door, and saw no one, so he lowered his voice and said the matter without concealment, and then said: "The most important thing is Yuan Qi's attitude. ”

After being silent for a long time, Ruan Yuandu spoke: "The period of preparing for the constitution is not far away, Yuan Qi is heavily stationed in the northwest, and Yi Guocheng is bound to destroy the Japanese, on the whole, at this time, Yuan Qi should not openly oppose the imperial court, even if he will support King Gong, he will not openly support it." ”

Yi Xun nodded slightly, and said, "Zhong Qing still sees it thoroughly, and he is like watching fire." ”

"The prince praises falsely." Ruan Yuandu said humbly: "Students are just outsiders. ”

Yi Xun smiled slightly and said, "In the current situation, how to deal with it is the best policy?" ”

After a slight sigh, Ruan Yuandu said: "King Gong dares to sneak into the Wa Kingdom, he must have something to rely on, Yuan Qi is secret, Mingli should be the monk king, although the monk king has a prestige in the army, but if the name is not right, it is not good, this is an advocacy, there must be few followers, the prince can accuse him of rebellion, raise troops to fight." ”

"Raise an army to fight?" Yi Xun hesitated and said, "Will Yuan Qi send troops to intervene in the name of destroying the overall situation of the war?" ”

Ruan Yuandu pondered for a moment before saying, "The prince should let the court negotiate with Yuanqi about this matter." ”

Hirakata, Forward Battalion, Big Tent.

Monk Greenqin walked slowly in the big tent with his hands behind his back, his name is not right, he now has a very deep understanding of this sentence, King Gong has not yet arrived, and the court has already known about this matter first, according to the war, this is a lost opportunity, what makes him even more embarrassed is that he does not know how to stabilize the morale of the army and unite people's hearts.

Ordering all the troops to assemble the army, it can be said that the plan has changed and attacked Kyoto in advance, but if Yi Xun raises troops to conscript, how can he explain to the generals, and how can he persuade them to lead troops to fight?

"Knock knock." The dull drum sound resounded throughout the camp, this is the drum of the tent, the drum of the three ways, the generals who failed to arrive in time had to engage in military law, the light was the military stick, the heavy may lose their heads, no one dared to slack off, so the drum sounded, and a group of generals rushed to the big tent, but they all wondered in their hearts, and they didn't know what was going on.

Delentai was also puzzled, quickly stepping into the big tent, at a glance Monk Greenqin sat behind the handsome case with a black face, and immediately swallowed the words that were originally intended to be tentative back to his stomach, and stood in front of the case after seeing the salute, only two drums, a kind of generals in the forward battalion arrived one after another, no one spoke, the atmosphere in the big tent was very depressing, and all the generals were a little uneasy in their hearts, and they didn't know what was going on.

After a while, Monk Greenqin spoke: "All here?" ”

"Go back to the prince." Delentai hurriedly said cautiously: "Except for the two people on patrol, all the others have arrived. ”

"After these days of uninterrupted expulsion, most of the Japanese people on the Osaka Plain have fled to Kyoto, but Kyoto has also been diverted in time, and young people have been recruited to form a surprise team for assault training to resist stubbornly." Monk Lingqin said unhurriedly: "The current situation, if it continues to delay, it will only be beneficial to the Japanese state, so we must launch an attack on Kyoto as soon as possible." ”

After a pause, he ordered: "Hang up the map of Kyoto and the map of the deployment of the Japanese army." ”

After the map was hung up, he said in a deep voice: "There are many omissions in the attack plan drawn up before, you are all trained by the military academy, discuss it, and come up with a feasible attack plan as soon as possible." As he spoke, he stood up, "When to come up with a plan that satisfies me, and when to rest." With that, he strode out of the tent.

The footsteps were far away, and the big tent suddenly became active, originally all of them were worried, but they didn't want to have any, just because they were dissatisfied with the battle plan, they had a false alarm, and no one discussed what the battle plan was, and they were busy greeting and laughing.

The commotion in the big tent is like a vegetable market, Delentai took out a box of cigarettes to smoke one, and then threw the cigarette box to them to scatter cigarettes, which one is this singing by Monk Lingqin today, he is a little confused, even if he is in a hurry, he will not gather all the generals to discuss the battle plan, right?

When to come up with a plan that satisfies him, and when to rest. If he had been dissatisfied, wouldn't they have stayed in the tent all the time? Thinking of this, he walked to the door of the big tent, lifted the tent curtain and walked out, not wanting the two pro-soldiers to stop in front of him, "The prince has an order, and no one is allowed to leave the tent." ”

Delentai said: "I'll go and ...... conveniently." ”

"There's a toilet in the tent."

"What's the smell of so many people in the tent?" Delentai muttered and didn't insist, turned around and went back to the big tent, but there was a faint bad feeling in his heart, he really couldn't understand, what did Monk Lingqin want to do?

Monk Greenqin came out of the big tent, and then he brought his cronies to replace the two officers on patrol, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and ordered: "Set up a card on the main road to Osaka, you are allowed to enter and leave, there are heralds, you must take it." ”

At dusk, his subordinate Ge Huangzhi led a regiment of troops to hurry to the other side, and Monk Greenqin was completely relieved, and after some deployment, he asked his own soldiers to call Delentai out.

Delentai has been nervous in his heart, and when he saw the monk Greenqin, he respectfully saluted and said: "Lord Wang, the plan has not yet been formulated, and the controversy is quite ....... ”

Monk Greenqin stared at him for a while before he said, "I don't want to know what the reason is?" ”

Hearing this, Delentai knew that if he pretended to be stupid again, he would not end well, and hurriedly said: "The subordinates dare not guess, although the subordinates are not the subordinates of the prince, but they have always admired the prince very much, but the prince is driven, and the subordinates will do their best." ”

This is a smart man and an understanding person, Monk Greenqin secretly thought in his heart, and then said straightly: "King Gong has come to Osaka, and he wants to take over all the troops in the Wa. ”

These words are tantamount to a shocking shock for Delentai, he never dreamed that he would be involved in the political dispute at this level, King Gong and the Queen Mother, is this to meet each other? He knew very well in his heart that since Monk Greenqin had made his words clear, he had no way out, and if he didn't agree, maybe today next year would be his death day.

He hurriedly bowed slightly and said: "Although his subordinates are in the camp, they also understand that the implementation of the constitution is the trend of the times. ”

"Sit." Monk Greenqin said and took out a cigarette and handed it to him, and lit one with a lighter, and then said slowly: "The implementation of constitutional government is indeed the trend of the times, if the court breaks its promise or delays and prevaricates, Yuan Qi will inevitably raise troops."

As the saying goes, we all know our own affairs, we all know that the new army of the imperial court will not be able to compete with the new army of Yuanqi at all, not to mention that our guns and ammunition are subject to Yuanqi.

King Gong ventured to the Wa Kingdom to take over the 40,000 army, so that the imperial court could smoothly implement the constitution and avoid war with Yuanqi.

In addition, this king may as well tell you clearly that King Gong came to the Wa Kingdom at the behest of Yi Guocheng. ”

These words were very gentle, but Delentai understood that this was beating him, warning him not to have different intentions, and immediately said in a sincere tone: "The imperial court implements constitutional government, King Gong's regent voice is the highest, and the prince's grace must be remembered by his subordinates. ”

After a pause, he continued: "The prince might as well mess up the existing establishment and mix it into an army. ”

Monk Greenqin smiled when he heard this, "This king also has this intention, but you go first to appease your subordinates, everyone has their own ambitions, if you don't want to, don't force it, temporarily confine, and then remove the military status and send it back to Beijing, which can be regarded as the love of the whole robe." ”

Delentai returned to the big tent to lobby, the vast majority of the generals have made a wise choice, Gong Wang Yixun is not only a noble status, but also a leader of the constitutionalists, the court constitution, King Gong's regent's voice to form a cabinet is also the highest, and there is a very high prestige in the government and the opposition, for the generals, loyalty to the emperor and loyalty to King Gong, there is not much difference, the left and right are loyal to the Qing Dynasty, not to mention, loyalty to King Gong, more conducive to their future future, put in the past, this is from the dragon's work!

Of course, not everyone is willing to change the court, there are three generals who are unwilling, and Delentai is not embarrassed by the three of them, and promises in public that they will be temporarily confined and sent back to Beijing afterwards.

On the morning of the next day, as the surrounding departments arrived at the camp of the Hiraka camp one after another, Monk Greenqin struck while the iron was hot and mixed the various departments, and in just one day, more than 10,000 troops were firmly in control.

Everything went smoothly beyond imagination, and Monk Greenqin was also completely relaxed, now, what he needs is time, it takes time to integrate after the mixed troops, and he also needs time to wait for Yixun to arrive, and he doesn't have to worry about the baggage such as ammunition, grain, and grass at all, as a forward base for attacking Kyoto, has hoarded a lot of baggage, and he doesn't need to worry about it for a month. As for Yi Xun's side, he didn't think much about it at all, Yi Xun dared to lead his troops to crusade, and he didn't mind going to war.

Osaka, Headquarters.

Yi Xun stood in the courtyard and looked at the north and sighed, for two whole days, he didn't get a little news from the other side, and the sentinels and heralds sent were like mud cows into the sea without a trace, he knew very well that it was impossible for Monk Greenqin to turn back.

He didn't think about raising troops to fight, but he still had some awe in his heart for Monk Greenqin, and he didn't want to fight in the same room unless he had to.

"General Yu, the capital division is urgent." A communications officer hurried up to report and then delivered a telegram.

The message was simple - a moratorium. This is the Empress Dowager Ci'an's reply to his request to raise troops to fight against the monk Grinqin. After reading the telegram, he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, Ci'an is to reserve a way for Monk Greenqin to retreat, as long as Yixun has not arrived in the country, as long as Monk Greenqin does not openly rebel, there is still room for maneuver.

"General Yu, Guo Zhongmu, chief of staff of the Yuanqi East China Sea Fleet, came to visit."

Yuan Qi finally came, Yi Xun groaned, and then said, "Please——。 ”

At the command center, Guo Zhongmu saluted a military salute, and then said, "I heard that something happened to your department....... ”

"Your army is well-informed." Yi Xun didn't hide it, and he knew that he couldn't hide it at all, so he thought about it: "The situation has not deteriorated at present, and there is still a possibility of easing." ”

"It's best to be able to ease nature." Guo Zhongmu said: "We don't want your army to have infighting, and we don't want your army to affect the overall situation of the war because of infighting."

Hearing this, Yi Xun couldn't help but slander himself, catching ghosts and releasing ghosts are all Yuanqi, but this is a high-sounding statement!
