Looking at Fuzhou, which has been surrounded by thin red lines, and the sailors of Li He with Zhong Lin will be able to arrive the day after tomorrow, Liu Jun nodded slightly in his heart, and took Fuzhou, the day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

The Fifth Corps dispatched this time, because it was independent in Fujian in the future, so Liu Jun ordered to bring a piece of equipment, and as for the replenishment, Li He's sailors would send ammunition and food to the Fujian Fifth Corps every month.

Waiting, all that can be done now is to wait for the Fifth Corps, which is armed to the teeth.

Japan, at the Imperial Meeting, Emperor Meiji looked at the Minister of War and the Minister of the Navy who were clamoring to teach Liu Jun a lesson, and shook his head slightly, it seems that what Ito Hirobumi said is still true.

A day earlier, Ito Hirobumi found him and said that the Admiralty and the War Department had requested to attack Liu Jun, but Ito Hirobumi told him that he did not want to go to war with Liu Jun now and said the reason, but he also mentioned that the War Department and the Navy Department were two large departments, and he was afraid that he would not be able to convince the two ministers, so he asked the emperor to convene an imperial council. I can hope that I can issue an imperial order at the meeting, that is, to prohibit the current Japanese Navy and Army from going to war with Liu Jun, waiting for a new opportunity.

I agree with this very much, after all, the shadow of being defeated by Liu Jun a few years ago has not completely come out, and he was compensated 100 million taels of silver that time, which almost blew up the bones of his country. It's only been a few years now, and I want to start a war with Liaodong again. How can I agree.

To fight is to fight, the problem is that you can't fight now.

After a cold look, Meiji looked at the two injuries who were patting his chest and spitting all over the place, raised his hand slightly, and Meiji motioned for the two to stop.

Glancing coldly at the people attending the meeting, Meiji narrowed his eyes and looked at the two people who had closed their mouths: "You tell me, with our current strength." Can you destroy the Beiyang Naval Division and the Liaodong Army? ”

This one? The two ministers of the War Department and the Navy Department looked at each other, and they both knew very well that although all the ministries had developed in the past five years, it was probably really difficult to face the more than 300,000 troops in Liaodong and the powerful Beiyang Naval Division.

"You idiots, have you forgotten what happened a few years ago, I don't want the last scene to be repeated, and I won't agree to it until you are completely sure that you can take down Liu Jun, and I won't declare war on Liu Jun."

With a cold snort, after the name finished speaking, he suddenly stood up, turned around and walked towards the palace with the support of the maid.

Since the emperor has already ordered not to go to war with Liu Jun. That is the holy decree, even if the War Department and the Admiralty want to take this opportunity to attack Liaodong, they can't make a move, showing a subtle smile, Ito Hirobumi looked at Inoue Xin, who was sitting opposite, and nodded. He knew that Inoue Xin's plan had succeeded.

On the same day, after expressing his worries, Inoue Shin's advice to himself was to ask the emperor to come forward to stop the Admiralty and the War Department from taking the lead this time. After all, only the emperor can calm these two people down. As it turned out, Inoue Xin's analysis was right, and the emperor would not agree to go to war with Liu Jun until he was able to defeat Liu Jun with much accuracy.

Since the emperor had left, it was a sign that the meeting had ended, and after the meeting, as soon as Ito Hirobumi returned to the prime minister's office, he called Inoue Shin and acted according to the plan.

The Japanese side has subsided, and the next step, that is, the Beijing side.

In Fuzhou, the sky has been gradually brightening, in the past few days, the defenders in Fuzhou City and the Liaodong Army outside the city will carry out an artillery bombardment every few hours, although the loss of people is not much, but the overwhelming running press still makes Fuzhou City full of gunpowder smoke and strong smell of blood.

Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau, Liu Jun has been waiting anxiously here for three days.

For three days, during these three days, he could only do nothing but inspect various positions and observe the movements of Fuzhou in the bunker, which made him very worried. Zhong Lin's intelligence bureau had already sent a secret telegram that the five battalions of the Hunan army in Hunan had left Changsha two days earlier and were leaving for Fujian. And the 3,000 cavalry of the imperial court in Zhejiang have also set off, and they are rushing to Fuzhou under the stars. It can be seen that the imperial court wants to have a good fight with itself here.

I'm not afraid of a fight, but the problem is that now I'm fighting against the water. Behind is the sea, there is nothing in front of the place that can be blocked, the only barrier, is Fuzhou, but now, Fuzhou is still in the hands of the Qing army, it is estimated that in a few days, the Qing army will arrive, if they have not taken Fuzhou at that time, then things are a little difficult to do. If you don't get it right, you will be driven into the sea by several times the Qing army.

"Toutou ......" Zhong Lin's shout outside the door suddenly woke up Liu Jun, who was thinking in front of the map.

Putting down the green bamboo in his hand, Liu Jun walked over and looked at Zhong Lin who ran over.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?"

"Head, Li Rong has arrived." Before Zhong Lin arrived at Liu Jun, he shouted loudly.

Li Rong arrived, which proved that the Fifth Corps had arrived.

Great, it's really time to come, smiling slightly, Liu Jun beat Zhong Lin, and wanted to run outside, and he went to greet Li Rong in person.

Riding a fast horse and coming to the dock, Liu Jun saw that Qiaoli, Ruojing and Zhenyuan Dingyuan were escorting more than a dozen transport ships, and they were slowly entering the dock under the leadership of the pilot ship of the Fujian Naval Division.

Because a large group of men and horses were about to land from the wharf, Liu Jun ordered that all the excess objects on the wharf be removed and used to stack the ammunition and food that would be transported from the ships at that time.

When the battleship landed with a soft bang, it made a slight vibration, and after a while, the huge iron anchor quickly fell into the water, and before Liu Jun could react, the pedals of the Hashidate were immediately placed on the dock. Liu Jun stretched his neck, and at first glance, he saw Li Rong, who was wearing a general's uniform, jump down first.

The Northeast is estimated to be very bitter, and Li Rong is much darker than a year ago.

The three of them were all in a relationship on the battlefield, and now they meet, and it is inevitable that they will meet each other. After the subtlety, Liu Jun suddenly got to the point. Immediately let Zhong Lin take out the map, and several people were on the shore and began to deploy an attack on Fuzhou.

Before Li Rong came here, Liu Jun and Zhong Lin and others had observed the Qing army in Fuzhou, and he found that the artillery of the Qing army was mainly concentrated on the city wall, and the west gate was deployed the most, so if you want to reduce the casualties of the soldiers in the battle, you must first kill the Qing artillery, and then concentrate firepower to attack the weakest north gate, while the other three gate feints.

After the north gate was taken, the troops in charge of the feint immediately retreated, entered through the north gate, and must annihilate the 5,000 Qing troops inside.

In general, Liu Jun only said his own thoughts, he should really fight like this, he won't care about this, after all, now Li Rong is no longer Li Rong, who had some difficulty leading an army a few years ago, and now he is about to compare with Feng Guozhang and a few others. Thaksin Li Rong will definitely be able to attack Fuzhou quickly.

"That's what I mean, how to put it, how to fight, that's your business, I just want the result." That's it. Liu Jun stood up, took the tea handed over by Zheng Yiqian and took a sip.

"Don't worry, Dashuai, I will definitely take Fuzhou within two days." Li Rong, who already knew the situation in Fuzhou, nodded, and asked the staff officers around him to put away the map, he still needed this prefecture for operational deployment.

Using 40,000 people to attack a city with only about 5,000 people is really a bit like killing chickens with a knife. When Liu Jun was talking, he had already put forward the intention of taking several surrounding states and counties, and Li Rong implemented this very well, he left a division and a brigade to attack Fuzhou, because Fuzhou already had a Praetorian Division, adding the men and horses he brought, that is, nearly 15,000 people, and the remaining three divisions, Li Rong also assigned the task, that is, to attack the surrounding states and counties of Fuzhou from three directions from east to west.

The time for the attack on Fuzhou was set for eight o'clock tomorrow, that is, on May 16, 1899
