Chapter 536: Birds and beasts are exhausted, and lackeys are cooking
It's a pity that the perennial encroachment of the smoke on the body and spirit, as well as the common problem of Qing officials unwilling to open their eyes to the world, made Liu Kunyi, a famous minister of the late Qing Dynasty, inevitably abandoned by the times.
"Let's go, we haven't had time to eat yet, we're hungry, call Brother Li together."
In terms of how to write a complaint letter, Li Jingfang, who was born as a civil official and is Li Hongzhang's eldest son, obviously wants to throw He Changying and the others a few streets.
"These bunnies, it's in vain that I've put so much effort into them!"
Xu Bangdao's face was angry.
"In addition to Nie Shicheng's Wu Yi army in Xiluo City, there are only Feng troops who have been with you for a few days, Lushun Defeated Army and a group of recruits, this reaction is very normal;"
Jia Qisheng looked at the quiet Sancheng in frustration: "It's my two battalions of Sheng Army, they have been with me for decades, who should I talk to?" ”
At this time, at the copper-clad gate in the middle of the five-hundred-meter-long and nearly two-meter-high breastwork wall built in Dongxiluo City, a yellow lantern suddenly appeared, and it was faintly bright.
"Let's go."
A group of sixteen people walked in the cold wind towards the breastwork wall a mile away.
Before they got closer, everyone saw that outside this breastwork wall, there were actually soldiers standing in the dark, and there were definitely no less than a thousand people just by visual inspection.
And inside the big open gate, under the faint moonlight, there was a sea of people.
All stood solemnly, silently.
"These monkey cubs—"
Xu Bangdao's voice had a slight trill, and he scolded in a reproachful whisper: "It's not good to sleep on such a cold day, what are you doing standing stupidly here, being a stake?" ”
That night, He Changying, Xu Bangdao, Jia Qisheng, Li Jingfang, Liu Mingyang, Nie Qingyun, Nie Pengcheng, Shen Zengjia, Fan Wenli,——
A group of Beiyang generals deliberated overnight until the east was white.
This team of nearly 9,000 people is the only Beiyang field army cluster in the entire Zhili Province, except for more than 2,000 artillery troops of Luo Rongguang's department and a battalion guarding the pass and training army at Dagukou.
In addition, the Beiyang army also has Dai Zongqian, Liu Chaopei, and Zhang Wenxuan of Weihaiwei, a total of 16 battalions and a sentry, and 8,000 troops.
Fengtian to the Northern Song Dynasty Qing, Zhang Gaoyuan 5,000 troops.
Nearly 25,000 troops of the Lushun armies.
Although under a series of blows and splits of the imperial court, the Beiyang armies were scattered, and the older generation of generals were imprisoned and dismissed, but with the rise of He Changying against the trend, especially the integration of the Lushun armies.
The Beiyang military strength is still not to be underestimated, and it is still the strongest army field group in the Qing Dynasty.
In the early morning of the next day, the soldiers of the three cities began to enter the customs one after another, cutting down the pine trees in the mountains near the Shanhaiguan Pass, making a large number of horse rejection piles, and laying them out in the area enclosed by the three breastworks of the three cities, as a new defense body to block the enemy after the breastwork was damaged by the Japanese army.
The anti-Japanese army has always paid attention to fairness, and Tong Su is not bullied (I don't bully you, and you don't want to bully me), Li Jingfang asked the soldiers to invite the landlords of those hills to discuss the purchase of trees.
In the past, there was an example of the great tyrant Baofeng of Yongping Mansion who did not see anyone alive or dead, and this small landlord, who had no power, was naturally docile and obedient.
At the same time.
Liu Kunyi, Wu Dacheng, Wei Guangtao, and the generals jointly signed Gudian, and jointly impeached He Changying, Xu Bangdao, and Jia Qisheng.
First, he forcibly occupied the mountains and slaughtered 39 innocent people, and then roared into the lobby and insulted Shangguan.
He actually connived at the rebellion of his soldiers, raided the temporary governor, held the generals hostage, and killed 43 people.
Please ask the emperor to order the criminal department to arrest He Changying, Xu Bangdao, Jia Qisheng, and the murderous soldiers and bandits that night, and escort them to Beijing for strict interrogation, so as to correct the country's law and military discipline.
And He Changying, Xu Bangdao, and Jia Qisheng were three people who impeached Liu Kunyi with electric impeachment and went to prison for no reason.
I implore the emperor to send a large member to the customs to find out the matter of Liu Kunyi's communication.
Before that, a joint secret letter from Bai Ji and Lian Shun was being sent to Beijing by 800 miles in an expedited way, and it was expected to arrive in the near afternoon.
In the secret letter, the two described in detail what they saw and heard that night.
Because this secret letter involved the words and deeds of the important ministers of the court and a generation of emerging generals, and what they did, they did not dare to go to the telegraph office in the open place at all, so they could only arrive quickly.
On the morning of the same day, several military bigwigs who sat in the military affairs office of the Tongzhou Telegraph Bureau of Zhili and the Japanese Supervision Office all appeared in the court of the early dynasty.
Wang Wenshao, deputy minister of the Beiyang Liaison Office, impeached He Changying for occupying land and killing people, and Jingshi Zhongqingliu impeached He Changying's excerpt of 'occupying the mountain to kill people, arson riots, please punish the head of the thief', and it was also stacked high on Guangxu's desk.
And Guangxu, who got the news early in the morning, was so angry that he almost fainted.
The three cities outside the customs are the top priority of the Shanhaiguan defense line, and the 9,000 troops outside the customs are the most elite battalion leaders in Shanhaiguan.
4 battalions of the Sheng Army, 1 battalion of the Renzi Army, and 4 battalions of the Luyu Defense Army, which are the last 9 battalions of the entire Zhili Beiyang training army in addition to the 1 battalion of Gubeikou and the 5 battalions of Dagu Fort.
Once the Japanese break through, it won't take six days for the Japanese army to appear under Yanjing City, Liu Kunyi is really crazy or what's wrong?
On the first day of taking office, there was such a terrible moth!
What exactly does he want to do?
Guangxu, who was holding back his anger, went to the early court, but before he could say this, there was a mess of porridge in the court.
Especially after Liu Kunyi and He Changying's telegrams were sent into the Forbidden City, they were even more noisy.
Led by Gangyi's 'Eliminate Evil' faction, Emperor Li Chen should immediately issue an order to lock up He Changying, Xu Bangdao, Jia Qisheng, and their soldiers who rebelled last night, and escort them back to Beijing for trial.
The 'waiting for the river to be crossed' faction led by Sun Yuwen and Xu Yongyi insisted on putting the overall situation of the national war first, and it was not too late to wait until the war subsided, and then find He Changying to settle accounts after the autumn.
And Li Hongzao, the Qingliu 'thugs' under Weng Tongyi, are the 'no one to forgive' faction, and propose to take Liu Kunyi, He Changying, Xu Bangdao, and Jia Qisheng back to Beijing and strictly try them according to the law.
Looking at the group of old men below the court, a pot of chickens, chickens, ducks and ducks fought so much that their necks and faces were red, and Guangxu's heart was as cold as the frost outside the hall.
Don't you all know that the Japanese soldiers are at Shanhaiguan 800 miles away?
The lock took He Changying, Xu Bangdao, Jia Qisheng, is this forcing me to destroy the Great Wall?
You guys who say 'settle accounts after the autumn', are they stupid when He Changying, just waiting for 'all the birds and beasts to be exhausted, and the lackeys will cook'?
At that time, how will the people of the world view me?
With this example, who else will dare to really work for my Qing Dynasty in the future!
quarreled for an early dynasty, it was still the same old way, and no one could convince anyone, but the old ministers and important ministers all brushed their presence in front of Guangxu, and they all relied on the old and sold the old to have a mouth cannon addiction.
And Guangxu was a rare force to keep silent, he was waiting for the secret letter in Bai Ji's telegram.
Although in Shanhaiguan, Liu Kunyi and He Changying had a quarrel, but fortunately, both sides are still performing their duties to ensure the stability of the pass, so even if Guangxu is angry, he can still endure it.
Near noon, three groups of fast horses rushed into Yanjing City and headed straight for the Forbidden City.
The secret letter jointly signed by Bai Ji Lianshun and the two was finally sent to Jingshi.
Soon, this secret letter was delivered to Emperor Guangxu, and he opened the secret letter with trembling hands slightly.
