"My friend Charlie sent me a telegram back, saying that it was the right choice to go back to Austria-Hungary, and that ten days ago, the German Emperor Wilhelm II sent someone to Petersburg to give Nicholas II a copy of the Yellow Peril, and now it is well known in Europe."

John said with a shocked face: "On the night of leaving He Changying, that is, a month and a half, He Changying said in front of dozens of officers of the anti-Japanese army, 'The German Emperor Wilhelm II even personally conceived a "Yellow Peril" and sent it to the Russian Tsar to instigate Tsarist Russia to invade China. I wondered why I had never heard of it. ”

"You're talking faintly, aren't you?"

Bruce raised his head, including Audrey, all of whom were full of disbelief.

On the sea.

"Sister, sister, can you play with me, okay?"

A little boy ran to a delicate girl and begged.

"It turned out that they went to Lushun, and my brother is also in Lushun, are they going to start fighting the Japanese army in Dalian Bay?"

The girl looked to the north, as if she was infatuated, and the sea breeze blew her skirt, and her figure was graceful and thin.

"Zhaohe, Zhaofei, it's windy and freezing, hurry back."

At this time, a middle-aged woman dressed as a noblewoman walked out of the cabin with a maidservant, complaining vigorously.

Yanjing.

Zhang Peilun, Li Jurong, Li Jingpu, Li Jingshu, Li Jingmai, Li Jingfang's successor Zhang, side room He,——

A room of people sat silently in the house, and from the outside of the courtyard there was a curse everywhere, and one after another, from time to time, there were rotten cabbage, rotten eggs, thrown into the yard, roof tiles, 'popping' noise.

If it weren't for Chen Zhanchun's personal soldiers standing guard outside, it is estimated that the angry Yanjing people would have rushed into the courtyard long ago.

"Our Li family is the black cauldron king of the imperial court!"

Li Jingshu looked angry.

"Sheng Huaixuan secretly sent a letter with a fast horse, alas, it is not in vain that Zhongtang has carried him for so many years."

Zhang Peilun said with a happy smile on the corner of his mouth: "The Dagu Military Station leased two small steamers through him and transported a lot of things, and on the 18th, Xiong Kaiyu, the person in charge of the Dagu Military Station, got twenty-nine tickets from Tianjin Gate to Hong Kong through his door, and the captain of the Hawaii brought a message to Sheng Huaixuan when he met the cargo ship that entered the Tianjin Merchants Bureau in the north, asking him to compensate for the silver of the missing four lifeboats. ”

"What do you mean?"

Li Jingshu said that he didn't understand, Li Jurong, Li Jingpu, and a room full of people looked at Zhang Peilun in confusion.

"From Jinmen to Ludong headland, Bohai Haikou is the only place where you can get off the boat and land on the island, and Lushun is in the north. Sheng Huaixuan was not confused, he saw something. What a He Changying, amazing! ”

Zhang Peilun expressed his heartfelt admiration.

"Are you saying that He Changying went to Lushun, and the Lushun army does not admit defeat?"

Li Jingmai stood up in shock and shouted.

"The voice is softer, it must not be transmitted, I feel that they may be trying to destroy the second army in southern Liaoning, otherwise they will not have the confidence to fight against the Japanese; Spread it out, and if you have beware, it will be broken! Nope."

Zhang Peilun looked at the east from afar, his eyes were bright: "There will be no accidents, just these few days, we will know." ”

Li Jingpu's pretty face is extraordinarily pink, that man, is he really going to do this; It's just that in this way, what will the imperial court say?

"Woo-"

In the light of night, the Japanese mixed ship group arrived at the Tanggu wharf.

"Long live the Empire!"

"Victory!"

"Go home, go home!"

Suddenly, the Tanggu wharf was full of the cries of the Japanese army.

That night, Shosuke Ito, Aritomo Yamaguchi, Prince Akihito, Katsura Taro, Nozu Michikan, Kuroki Yuzhen,——

A group of Oriental generals drank heavily on board the ship to celebrate the great victory of the Oriental, and at the same time decided to complete the boarding of the First Army on the 5th and 6th days, and set off for the return voyage late at night on the 6th.

Big Gukou.

Under the starry sky, Xue Yingchun, Xiaolian, and a group of women from the families of the new army came to the east beach of the military station, looking north at the Japanese ships on the sea of Beitang.

At this time, in addition to family members, doctors, and the wounded, only a few dozen disabled veterans were left patrolling the station.

The generator that was turned on night before was also removed, and it was long gone without the previous liveliness and deserted.

When He Changying passed through Dagu on the way, he didn't meet Xue Yingchun with a hard heart, but just asked Xiong Kaiyu to bring a letter, and there was not much written on it in a hurry, "Everything is fine, take care, wait for me to come back." ’

Looking at this crooked calligraphy, Xue Yingchun was fascinated.

"These god-damn dogs, I can't wait to die with these beasts!"

An officer's woman, with her eyes on fire, stared at the ship at sea with resentment, cursing loudly, her face full of tears.

Her man came to a letter when he went to Shanhaiguan, and her own brother died heroically in Langfang during the breakout, how could he not cry with hatred?

And it was on this shallow night that the telegram from the Dagu Fort, as well as a carrier pigeon at Chengshanjiao, arrived at the Lushun General Staff.

"Telegram: The Japanese ship group has arrived in Beitang, and the army has assembled at the dock."

"Report: A group of Japanese warships appeared in the waters of Chengshanjiao and circled around the mouth of the Bohai Sea."

"Command!"

"Smack!"

With He Changying's words, all the soldiers in the entire Lushun Legion War Room stood upright with excitement on their faces.

"The army departments began to enter various predetermined positions, the navy's eastward advance ship group was replenished with various military materials such as water and coal shells, and prepared to set sail for Incheon Port, and the navy's Dalian Bay battle ship group and the army carried out the final combat design."

He Changying looked at the naval officers in the war room, and said loudly: "All departments are waiting for the attack order, and once it is issued, attack immediately!" ”

"Kill!"

The house was full of yelling.

In the early morning of the 5th, the Japanese First Army began to board the ship.

The Japanese warship Yoshino was directly moored at the Dagukou wharf with its brawn and might, attracting countless curses from the people at the wharf.

On the afternoon of the 6th, more than 25,000 Japanese troops and more than 5,000 Oriental soldiers all boarded the ship, including the cannon whose barrel was blown up by the cavalry of the Anti-Japanese Army in Langfang, and was also pulled onto the warship by the Japanese army, ready to be brought back to China to replace the barrel.

At 8 o'clock on the night of the 6th, amid the sound of the whistle that filled Tanggu, the Japanese warships lifted anchor, sailed away from the Beitang wharf, and headed east.

The First Army of the Japanese Army finally left Zhili.

Dagu Fort General Military Office.

After watching the Japanese warships sail away from Tanggu, Liu Gangyi hurriedly walked into the General Military Office and walked towards the telegraph office.

Wu Hongluo, the new commander-in-chief of the Dagu Fort, although most of his injuries have recovered, he is still staying in the Beiyi 'Gao' Fort for the time being, and the Liu family will also leave Dagu in the near future and go to live in Jinmen.

"Cousin, what are you doing so fast?"

At this time, Luo Hao'er was wandering in the yard with the maid Xiaoqian, and when she saw Liu Gangyi, who had not seen a shadow for a day, she couldn't help but greet happily.

After a sad thing, Luo Feng'er's face has lost a lot of weight during this period of time, and she is slender in the spring breeze in the dark night.

"You turn around, I'm a little bit of a trivial."

Liu Gangyi said perfunctory casually, but he didn't pause at all, and strode towards the west courtyard.

"Drip, drip, drip—"

Soon a telegram was sent to the Arthur Telegraph Office: the Japanese ship group was carrying all the land forces and had just set sail.

7th, 3 p.m.

Ludong headland, into a mountain corner.

"Goo, goo-goo-"

"Plop-la-"

As the pigeon cage opened, the two pigeons flapped their wings and flew into the sky, slightly determined the direction in the air, and flew along the coastline towards the Bohai Sea.

"Yuan Yiqing, you must have guessed why you came here, why you brought three pigeons; Our purpose was to watch the Japanese ship group leave here and head south. ”

Wu Nianhua pointed to the Japanese ships at sea with excitement on his face and said: "From now on, it will take at least three days and three days for the Japanese combined fleet to reach the islands in the East Ocean, and even if it turns around immediately, it will take at least five days and five nights to return to Dalian Bay." ”

Yuan Yiqing listened and looked at the sea incomprehensibly, where a huge group of forty or fifty warships and troop transporters was heading south.

Seeing that Yuan Yiqing still didn't quite understand, Pan Tingzhou laughed and said: "Starting tomorrow, our Lushun army, sea and land army, if nothing else, will launch the Southern Liaoning Campaign and annihilate the second army of the Japanese army!" ”

"Haha, happy, happy!"

Seeing that the task was finally completed perfectly, Zhang Ming was so happy that he let go of the boulder that had been pressed for many days in his heart, and laughed with ease.
