Chapter 114: Change of Generals

If there are busy, there will be idle, Liu Jun is now one of the idlers.

For him, although there are few talents in his hands, there are a few that can be used, Ding Ruchang was brought to the Korean battlefield by him, Li He is in charge of the navy, Wu Datong is in charge of government affairs, and Zhong Lin is Liu Jun's spy leader.

Idle is idle, but Liu Jun is not without thinking about the problem, he is thinking about the navy.

Arthur has now added two new large armored cruisers. In terms of tonnage, it has directly surpassed the original Beiyang Naval Division, and the firepower is one in the sky and one underground.

And now, although the two warships were hung with the Yellow Dragon Flag, Liu Jun knew that these sailors were not very skilled, and he wanted to leave the German sailors who came to escort the warships to Lushun this time. However, he didn't want Clint to open his mouth about it. After all, people want faces, trees and bark, and although Liu Jun is thick-faced, he can't open his mouth to tell Clint to borrow it at this time. Moreover, it is easy to please God, but it is difficult to send God. At that time, if these Germans stay here, it is very likely that their territory will be robbed by the Germans.

It seems that you can only rely on yourself. But relying on his own training, he can't fight Weihai now.

Even how skilled the artillery is, such a ship will still be severely hit when it encounters the combined fleet.

After thinking about it, Liu Jun still felt that he would let Weihai go for the time being and wait for a while.

"Head, Li He wants to see you." Zhong Lin looked at Liu Jun, who was lying on the Taishi chair, enjoying the sunshine with his eyes closed, and walked over and said.

"What's the matter?" Lazy answer.

"Regarding the naming of the warship, he asked if you could come up with it."

This, hearing the order of the warship, Liu Jun opened his eyes suddenly.

The day after the warship was delivered to the Beiyang Naval Division, Liu Jun proposed that although the two German warships belonged to the Beiyang Naval Division, they still used the names of the German warships.

Li He wanted to agree with this, so he agreed and asked Liu Jun to nominate him.

"If you don't say it, I almost forgot." Liu Jun stood up, looked at Zhong Lin and said.

"Then what do you say, I'll answer." Zhong Lin asked helplessly.

"Well, wait until I want to." After Liu Jun finished speaking, he seemed to hug his shoulders and walk back and forth in the yard.

What's the use, Liu Jun thought of the two fierce generals who died in the Beiyang Naval Division. Liu Buchan, Deng Shichang.

Both of them are people who are deeply loved by the officers and soldiers of the naval division, one Deng Shichang dared to hit Yoshino with a warship, and he didn't even leave a corpse, and Liu Buchan, who finally fell a corpse, is now buried in the suburbs of Lushun.

If the names of these two people are named, they will not only be able to win the love of the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division, but also further win the hearts of the people.

"Let's call it Shichang and Bu Toad." Liu Jun suddenly stopped and said to Zhong Lin.

Zhong Lin nodded, then looked at it and asked, "Head, what else do you want me to bring to Li He?" ”

"Tell him to keep our heroes with us."

In Lushun Military Port, when Li He announced the names of the two newly arrived warships, Guang Bing on the two warships began to let out deafening shouts and cheers, especially the sailors on the original Zhiyuan, when they heard that one of the warships was actually their original name, they knelt down and cried with joy. Crying.

When Li He told Liu Jun that the two warships were named by Liu Jun and told the sailors that the heroes were with us, many sailors cheered and even fired a salute to thank Liu Jun. Some even shouted the word "long live".

"You're not bragging, they're going to kneel down with joy." Liu Jun picked up half of the banana in his hand, sat on his own chair in the war room, and looked at Zhong Lin who was talking there with a look of disbelief.

He wouldn't believe that just the names of the two warships, these officers and soldiers actually shouted out long live.

"Yes, I definitely didn't lie to you, many people heard it, it was shouting long live."

"Gotta get it, stop it, stop it, stop it, I don't want to rebel, I don't want to be caught by the old woman with my braids." Liu Jun hurriedly stuffed the remaining half of the banana in his hand into Zhong Lin's mouth.

Zhong Lin swallowed it with difficulty, and then coughed twice: "Head, they have already shouted out the problem, this will always get out, and it will be ...... then."

"We'll talk about that when the time comes, and now we can work hard to fight our own battles." Liu Jun waved his hand, then stood up, put the matter aside, and began to walk in front of the map, watching the situation in Liaoyang.

Today, Song Qing's 40,000 Qing troops and Yiketang'a's 8,000 Heilongjiang soldiers have surrounded the two divisions of the Japanese army in the Liaoyang area, and Zhang Yi, a division of the Third Army and the First Brigade of the First Army, which was urgently transferred from Wawu, have rushed to Liaoyang to participate in the siege of the enemy.

Liu Jun didn't believe it, the Qing army, which had absolute strength, couldn't overwhelm the two divisions of Youpeng in Shanxian County, which had become a lone army.

In Tianjin, the hot sun shines on the ground like a stove.

Tianjin Governor's Mansion, even if Yang Shixiang took off his shirt, he still felt the heat.

Putting down the brush in his hand, he was about to go to wash his face with the cold water placed there not far away, when he saw Yang Fengchun rushing in impatiently.

It's strange, Yang Fengchun has always been thoughtful, why is he so out of shape today. Yang Shixiang had a question on his face.

"Lord Yang, Lord Zhongtang has something important to discuss." Without any courtesy, Yang Fengchun said directly.

Zhongtang, could it be that something is wrong? Thinking of this, Yang Shixiang threw the handkerchief he had just taken off into the copper basin and walked out of the door.

As soon as I arrived at Li Hongzhang's study, before I entered the door, I smelled the choking smell of dry smoke inside.

It should be an accident, he knows Li Hongzhang, and he usually doesn't smoke. Unless something big or bad happens.

After thinking for a while, Yang Shixiang walked in. I saw Li Hongzhang sitting on the edge of the chair in the study, smoking a cigarette. Took a look at the ground. A lot of soot has accumulated.

Knock knock, seeing that it was Yang Shixiang, Li Hongzhang put the cigarette stick on the foot of the Nanmu desk next to him and knocked out the fire.

"You're here. Let's take a look at this first. Before Yang Shixiang could react, Li Hongzhang had already handed over the telegram on the table.

100,000 urgent. saw the words on it and Li Hongzhang's dull face. Yang Shixiang cautiously opened the telegram.

"This ...... This. How is this possible. Yang Shixiang, who had read the telegram, exclaimed. It's simply incredible.

It's not incredible, but it's very sad, the telegram was sent by Song Qing. It's a short wordcount, but it's enough to make people feel terrified.

Just the night before, in order to break through the encirclement, the Japanese army concentrated the strength of two wings, and under the cover of artillery, suddenly launched an attack on the Qing army's position. Once broke through the defensive line, if it were not for the timely arrival of the Lushun army to fight the Japanese army, I am afraid that the Japanese army would break through the defense first, and then break through Liaoyang and go to Shengjing. Even so, the Qing army still lost nearly 5,000 men and horses.

"Hmph, the old man repeatedly told Song Qing that although the Japanese army is a lone army, it should not be taken lightly, but you see, the 50,000 army also let the Japanese army in Liaoyang sneak attack the position and lose 50,000 horses, the old man really wants to take off Song Qing's head. After Li Hongzhang finished scolding, he stood up and walked to the window, and pushed the window open at once. Li Hongzhang was so angry that he once again loaded a strip of dry tobacco.

I looked at the telegram again, although it was a little incredible, but it was already the case, and it was useless to be angry, Yang Shixiang thought about it, picked up a cup of tea, and walked to Li Hongzhang. Whispered tentatively, "Then the Lord thinks we should do this."

Without speaking, Li Hongzhang still looked out the window at a pond full of green lotuses in a daze.

Seeing that Li Hongzhang didn't speak, Yang Shixiang didn't dare to disturb, so he had to stay aside and wait.

Baba, a bag of cigarettes was smoked like a cloud.

Knock off the soot with a knock. Li Hongzhang said lightly: "Where is Liu Jun?" ”

Liu Jun, coldly hearing these two words from Li Hongzhang's mouth, Yang Shixiang was stunned for a moment, and then raised his head, he knew in his heart that Li Hongzhang was going to change generals.

Indeed, Li Hongzhang is indeed going to change generals. The Japanese troops of the two divisions in Liaoyang were his confidants, and where the Japanese army was not extinguished for a day, he could not sleep soundly for a day. After all, it was too far away from Shengjing, and Song Qing was supposed to give him a happy result, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen. Let the family fight can't figure out the southeast and northwest.

Instead of being so scared, it is better to replace Song Qing and let him make up for his mistakes. Replaced by a useful person to lead, the second person, after wandering around in Li Hongzhang's mind for a long time, there is only Liu Jun.

"What do you mean?" Although Yang Shixiang guessed a few points, he didn't confirm it.

Seeing Li Hongzhang nodded, Yang Shixiang already knew what Li Hongzhang meant. After thinking for a while, Yang Shixiang arrived: "Liu Jun is now in Lushun." ”
