On the afternoon of the 3rd, when the smoke of gunpowder in the three cities outside the Guanwai had not yet dissipated, Tang Renlian, Zhou Fu, and Bai Ji's telegrams had already been delivered to the Yamen of the Governor of Zhili and the Military Affairs Office of Tongzhou. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The news immediately spread all over Jinmen, the streets and alleys of Jingshi.

The people of the Qing Dynasty, who had been worried for several days, were overjoyed when they heard the good news, and they were all overjoyed and celebrated all over the streets.

In that year, the British and French troops entered China, from the sixth year of Xianfengye, and fought intermittently until the ten years of Xianfengye, until the Western devils trapped Dagukou, occupied Jinmen, and then captured the Beijing division and burned the Old Summer Palace.

Burn, kill, and plunder all the way, do all kinds of evil!

The long memories of twenty-four years ago, although the young hairy children now have no memory, but the old people of the Qing Dynasty who succumbed to the bayonets of the yellow-haired devils back then, which one of them is not deeply remembered.

Now that the war has started again, the Japanese soldiers have actually reached Shanhaiguan, how can they not make people's hearts tremble when they listen to the ferocity of the Japanese from Liaodong?

For a time, the people in Jinmen, Jingshi, Tangshan, and all parts of the city were panicked, and they were all busy packing up the valuable items in the house, ready to go to the homes of relatives in the countryside at any time to avoid military disasters.

However, at this time, Shanhaiguan suddenly came with good news, and we won the Qing Dynasty!

Suddenly, all the restaurants, teahouses, and theater gardens were overcrowded, and they were all talking about today's mountain and sea war.

And the storyteller in the teahouse immediately responded to the suggestion of the tea guests and changed it to "Shanhaiguan Wangshi vs. Wa Pig Kou".

Helplessly, these storytellers only knew that Wang Shi had defeated the Japanese soldiers, but as for how to win and how to arrange the troops, they didn't know at all.

So the storytellers in the teahouses, according to their usual strengths, showed their magical powers, talking about the sky and the lotus flowers.

"—Chief Yamaguchi Suchen panicked, and turned into a big leopard with money spots, trying to hurt the hungry tiger. When He Junmen saw it, he faced the wind, turned his head into a pretend, and turned into a golden-eyed fox, with a sound like a thunderbolt, an iron forehead and a copper head, and turned around to eat the big leopard. The chieftain's pass was in a hurry, and he turned into a bear, let go of his feet, and came to capture the fox. ——”

This is the storyteller who usually talks about the gods and monsters, quoting the passage where Sun Xingzhi vs. the Bull Demon King.

"The old thief Yamaguchi Suchen forced Huchen, oh——, forced He Junmen, raised a stick to beat him, He Junmen took advantage of the situation to rush in, grabbed a stick, beat the general, and crippled the Yamaguchi Suchen who was holding it. ——”

This is the storytellers who mainly talk about chivalrous generals on weekdays, quoting the fights in the Hu family biography.

"Good!"

The tea guests cheered loudly every time they heard the important points, although they also understood that these gentlemen were very unreliable, but everyone did not care at all.

Didn't we win the Qing Dynasty?

Isn't listening to books just for a cool!

Picture of a pleasure?

At this time, in the Forbidden City's Heart Nourishing Palace, it was also a joyful color.

"I really didn't expect the red-clad cannon to be so powerful; The projectile passed over, cracked into thousands of pills, within a radius of ten meters, not an inch of grass was born, and the soldiers all fell, either immediately to death, or full of craters, ghosts crying wolves. 'Haha, happy, happy! ”

Guangxu looked at the good news of Tang Renlian, Bai Ji, and Liu Kunyi, his happy face glowed red, and the dark clouds that had been pressing on his head for many days seemed to be swept away suddenly.

"Your Majesty, it can be seen that it is not our cannon that is not sharp, but the person who uses it; Western Krupp cannons, some people boast them to the sky, what is the result? North Korea, Liaodong, all used Western cannons, but the result was a complete failure, and the silver of a Krupp cannon can make more than a dozen red-coated cannons! ”

Wen Tingshi, a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy on the side, said sinisterly with a hint of flirtatiousness: "Why can you have a good relationship with foreigners?" If I am a foreigner, I will give a lot of silver every day, of course it will be a good relationship. ”

Weng Tonggong quietly glanced at his disciple approvingly, among the six sons of Wengmen, his favorite was Wenting-style momentum and understanding.

——A woman who can put her good brother to sleep in vain, her good brother has not had a little mustard, and he is still grateful for trust, which is also a great ability that ordinary people can't do.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are in charge of the household department on weekdays, not deliberately making things difficult everywhere, but the Western weapons purchased by the imperial court for a large amount of silver, and today in Shanhaiguan proves that the artillery of our Qing Dynasty is not a little worse than that of foreigners."

Weng Tongyi said with a look of grievance, as if he was really selfless and dedicated to the country in the past.

"I understand; That old thing! ”

As soon as Li Hongzhang was mentioned, Guangxu was furious, and he couldn't wait to put him in prison now, and properly interrogate how much money he had bought Western warships and cannons over the years, and how much money he had embezzled from the imperial court!

What's even more hateful is that the things he bought with greedy silver, the imperial court has spent hundreds of millions of taels of silver in the past 20 years, and the army and sailors have been painstakingly built.

It has become a way for Huai people to make a fortune.

The army, the water division is in chaos and vulnerable!

A few days ago, because the old witch was involved in politics, he had to summon Li Hongzhang to Beijing without any will, but this old man actually refused on the grounds of illness.

Well, you will honestly raise it in Jinmen until you die!

Guangxu's heart let out a sneer.

"It's a pity that there are only fifteen red-clothed cannons in Shanhaiguan now, otherwise a hundred cannons will be fired together, covering the sky and the sun, even if there are 100,000 Japanese soldiers, they will definitely be wiped out!"

As the head of the six sons of Wengmen, Wang Mingluan, who had just been transferred from the position of Guangdong Xuezheng to Beijing as the right attendant of the ministry, saw the casualness of the master and brother in front of the emperor, and couldn't help but be full of envy, and jumped out to brush up on the sense of existence.

"Hmm,"

Guangxu nodded approvingly to Wang Mingluan, who was kneeling below, so insightful, he transferred him to Beijing in vain.

"Tell the military department to immediately transfer the red-clothed cannons from all the nearby cities to Shanhaiguan to kill the widows; Spread today's good news to Dongjiaomin Lane, let those foreigners know that I am sharp in the Qing artillery! ”

"Your Majesty."

In the sound of horses, Guangxu was like drinking fine wine, intoxicated.

On January 4th, in the sound of praise from the imperial court, all departments of Shanhaiguan began to search for cannons after seeing the power of the red-coated cannons.

Yongping Mansion (Qinhuangdao), Changli County, Funing County, Lulong County,——

Those old antiques that had been placed at the head of the city for a hundred years had become the sought-after goods of various armies, and they were hung down the city wall and transported to Shanhaiguan.

As for He Changying's kind reminder, except for Xu Bangdao, who listened to it and unloaded the two 4,000-pound red-clothed cannons on the city wall, the rest of the generals, including Lian Shun, ignored them.

In yesterday's battle, the power of the red-coated cannon was obvious to all, and at least half of the Japanese soldiers killed and wounded in the three cities were attributed to the red-coated cannons.

Since the artillery of the Japanese can be fired so accurately, why didn't you let it go yesterday, is it possible that you are reluctant to bombard you General He?

The farther the distance, the worse the accuracy, this is the basic truth.

The cannons of the Japanese are six or seven miles away, not to mention a cannon that bombarded the city wall, it is the Shanhaiguan City placed here, it is estimated that the cannonballs can be bombarded, it is all the luck of the blind cat to kill the mouse.

Aren't you General He afraid that people will steal your limelight?

I really want to fool the ghost!
