"General Yao, this Jiulian City is the office of the Beiyang military affairs that I was ordered to help, let's all nest here, and it doesn't seem good to leave both sides alone?"

Song Qing was still smiling, but his words directly pointed out that his Yi Army would definitely not give up Jiulian City. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Song Junmen has its own reason for Song Junmen, but I am ordered to guard Jiulian City, since the emperor asked me to guard it like this, then I dare not disobey the order."

As soon as Iktanga opened his mouth, he also directly blocked the words.

Since the two sides have talked so far, everyone is a big man with a face, of course he can't scold the street like a shrew who flips the table and smashes dishes.

Song Qing and Yi Ke Tang'a were both smiling, looking at each other with knives hidden in their smiles, and then they both raised their glasses with laughter.

The following is to rely on their own skills behind the scenes to see if they can squeeze the other party away.

After lunch, He Changying pestered Song Qing to ask for 300,000 rounds of ammunition and 200 stone polished rice, and after distributing them, the companies and platoons of the Korean reinforcement army began to train and shoot targets by the riverside, and at the same time carried out simulated confrontation drills between companies and platoons.

The reconnaissance platoon and cavalry company continued to operate in the lower reaches of the Uiju, Yongcheon, and Yalu rivers, alerting the Japanese army that might appear at any time.

He Changying, on the other hand, decided to take advantage of the fact that the Japanese army had not yet arrived, so he took a group of officers to aid the Korean army to cross the Shan River and go to the upper reaches of Jiulian City to conduct field investigations.

He didn't plan to go to Changdian, it was not a matter of distance, but it was not necessary at all, his purpose was the bank of the Hushan River and the mouth of the Anping River.

In the afternoon of the same day, after Song Qing finished the banquet, he first approved the materials for He Changying, and then hurried to the telegraph room to send electricity to Jinmen.

"The first time we met, it was difficult to see and hear about the business. At present, Jiuliancheng and Shahe soldiers are gathering like clouds, and the horse team is not camped and scattered out of the village, which seems to be too crowded. In the event of a thief, the government decrees are inconsistent, and it is also quite tricky. It seems that it is advisable to move the north road according to the general. Even if the troops are not caught, Qingbi will personally supervise and respond, and it is incumbent on him. I beg you to comply. ”

The telegram was immediately delivered to Li Hongzhang.

Li Hongzhang has always been very uncomfortable with Song Qing not listening to his hints, but wholeheartedly following Guangxu's wishes, taking his most elite troops in Beiyang, and fighting the Japanese army in Jiulian City.

It's not that the Yalu River doesn't keep it, but let you symbolically keep it, why do you have to look like you're not dying.

Even if I really defeated the Japanese people, but my decades of army foundation will not let you be defeated, and both will be defeated, isn't this in line with the emperor's wishes?

There is also a sailor, Ding Ruchang will definitely go to work after the war, and the emperor will take advantage of the situation to vigorously promote the group of guys in the Fujian department and win their hearts.

In this way, wouldn't Beiyang, which the old man had worked hard to run for decades, break up all of it for me?

After seeing the telegram, Li Hongzhang didn't say anything, and directly asked the telegram room to transmit the telegram to Tongzhou and report it to the prime minister's yamen.

Let the devil six make their own decisions.

For Li Hongzhang, nothing is as important as his negotiations with the ministers of Western countries, because as long as the foreigners come forward and forcibly force the Oriental to withdraw their troops, then his Beiyang family foundation along the Yalu River will naturally turn the danger into a disaster.

He Changying and his entourage of 36 people crossed the bridge on foot, pointing and discussing all the way, crossing the Tiger Mountain along the Yalu River.

"Camp here tonight, climb the mountain tomorrow, and continue the march."

He Changying looked at the darkening sky and ordered the officers to camp on those big rocks on the riverbank.

At this time, it is the middle of October in the solar calendar, and the minimum temperature by the Yalu River is close to zero.

Soon, the roaring bonfire was raised, and everyone sat by the fire to boil gruel in an iron box, and put salted meat and salted eggs in it.

"The big boss, this group of grandsons doesn't seem to be like a wolf, it sounds like they are all talking about our Qing Dynasty; It can't be the Qing soldiers of the Nine Liancheng below, right? ”

On a cliff far away from the shore, a group of northeastern dreadlocks stood in a dense bush, looking at the fire on the rocks of the river valley below, and whispered to each other.

Another old man with an old voice said: "There is no such military uniform in the Qing Dynasty, but I have heard that the clothes worn by the Japanese are all in the style of foreigners, but they seem to be black and white; Although the color is not right, since they can wear black and white, it doesn't matter if they change to brown. ”

"Then why don't they speak the Oriental dialect?"

The young man asked unconvinced.

"Nonsense, aren't they here to step on something, isn't it exposed to speaking Oriental dialect?"

The old man was furious and taught this junior who dared to question him a lesson.

"Afraid of exposure and still wearing military uniforms?

"You——, you boy—"

"The second in charge, the third, don't fight;"

A crisp young woman's voice rang out: "The old lady doesn't care who he is, what kind of Japanese soldiers are a group of brutes!" I'll serve them tonight, hehe, even if they don't have a little yellow croaker on them, we're worth it by pointing at these dozen guns. ”

"Third child, you want to die, what are you doing?"

The thin second master with a goatee pulled down the big hand of the thick black and short third master.

"Hehe, I'm just going to say hello to them first, and they'll all be full and be a full ghost."

It doesn't matter if the three masters are smiling.

The night was silent, the river was roaring, accompanied by the sound of the river waves, and soon everyone fell into a deep sleep.

Only Lu Zhaomei, Xiao Liuzi, and two soldiers of the guard team were on duty in the first half of the night, and the four of them were afraid of affecting the rest of the commanders, so they had to stare at the rifles with wide eyes and sit by the fire to waste time.

finally stayed up until two o'clock in the morning, and Lu Tiejiao and Wang Shizhen came over to change shifts with two sleepy-eyed guards.

"Brother Lu, do you have any paper?"

Xiao Liuzi was blown by the river wind, but he didn't have a tissue on him, so he whispered to Lu Zhaomei to ask for it, ready to clean up his intestines before going to bed.

"Here, stay away, or everyone will have to smell your and sleep tonight."

Lu Zhaomei took out a few pieces of paper and handed them to Xiao Liuzi, then stretched her waist and walked towards the marching tent.

And at this time, a group of bandits squatting in the sparse bushes by the river are also worried for everyone.

Originally, everyone was cold and hungry, just waiting for the group of grandchildren to eat enough, and it was better to go to sleep than to brag about it, and then everyone went to the dark and fell with knives one by one, so as to give them a good ride.

Who would have thought that this group of guys who came out of nowhere would be so cautious, not only were there sentry posts in the middle of the night, but there were also four people?

What's even more terrifying is that these sentry guys don't doze off, and they add fire from time to time, burning the fire so vigorously that they don't have a chance to lurk over.

Everyone is looking forward with wide eyes and waiting until the second half of the night, can your grandsons still be so energetic, not dozing off, adding to the fire?

As a result, it took until the second half of the night, and these guys actually began to change the guard.

How can this not make people angry!
