Yan Chunyu sneered: "Weihai is the most offensive direction of foreigners, although Qingdao, as the largest commercial port in Shandong, may also be attacked, but Qingdao is more than two hundred and fifty kilometers away from Weihai, even if Qingdao is taken, they are too far away from Weihaiwei, and they cannot support Weihaiwei's attack in a short time, but Rongcheng is different, Rongcheng Bay tidal flats are gentle, we have no garrison anywhere, Rongcheng Bay is only forty kilometers away from Weihaiwei, if the army marches urgently, it only takes one day and one night to reach Weihai, Launching a flank attack towards Weihaiwei, in that case, it will be difficult for us to support it. Although we occupy the geographical advantage of www.biquge.info, the foreigners are very familiar with the terrain around Gyeonggi after two opium wars, especially in the coastal area, and they have definitely already found a landing site on their backs! If my guess is correct, it is Rongcheng Bay! ”

Everyone was shocked, if it was really as Yan Chunyu said, Weihaiwei was really dangerous enough.

"Crane Xiang!"

Yan Chunyu shouted.

Zhang Hexiang hurriedly stood up.

"Inform the Jinan Arsenal to take out all the mines they produce, and order your cavalry battalion to go to Rongcheng Bay with all the mines, and arrange four minefields with a width of 300 meters and a length of 100 meters in the tidal flat area of Rongcheng Bay, with a distance of 100 meters from each minefield, and completely seal the entire Rongcheng Bay to me!"

Landmines have appeared as early as the Ming Dynasty, but at that time the power of mines was smaller, the stability was poor, this time it was different, the arsenal received Guo Ye's research and development project two years ago, the production of mines, according to Guo Ye's design ideas, mines were quickly developed, and mass production.

As a militarily inferior country, the defensive role of landmines is undoubted, and it plays an extremely important role in both setting ambushes and deterring the enemy.

For more than a year, the entire arsenal produced tens of thousands of mines, all of which were stored in the arsenal, and they were never used without Guo Ye's order.

Zhang Hexiang took the order, turned around and walked down, time was pressing, but there was no delay.

"Brother Suimou, what you are best at fighting is defense, this time I will hand over the defense of Rongcheng Bay to you, behind Rongcheng Bay is Red Mountain and Niu Qingshan, the terrain here is higher, it is the best position for defense, once the coalition forces break through the minefield on the tidal flats, they will definitely advance towards Niu Qingshan and Red Mountain, what you have to do is to build two positions here, pull all your artillery up, and our Gatling heavy machine guns, three heavy machine gun companies are all entrusted to you, and they will be strictly defended in Niu Qingshan and Red Mountain, They must not be allowed to move forward half a step! The geographical location here is narrow, it is not easy for the coalition forces to launch an offensive formation, if you want to break through the heavy machine gun positions and artillery positions, it is difficult to climb to the sky, once they break through, there is the open Jiaodong Peninsula behind, and our Weihaiwei can be dangerous, in a word, we must resist to the death, no matter how much it costs! ”

"Yes, Admiral!"

Zhang Suimou agreed.

"Long Tao!"

"Don't be idle, bring all the Second Brigade to Qiaotou Town in the middle of Weihai and Rongcheng Bay, you are the hub of communication in the center, and if the situation is critical, we will immediately rush to help, as long as we can block the Western coalition forces and prevent them from landing in Shandong, it will be our victory!"

"Chunyu, this time, won't you charge into battle yourself?"

Gao He laughed.

Yan Chunyu glanced at Gao Yi angrily, and shouted: "Nonsense, Lao Tzu wants to sit firmly in the Chinese military tent, and now that he is a commander, do you still want to charge into battle?" Fools do that! Strategize and win thousands of miles away! ”

is different from before, Yan Chunyu was an out-and-out general, charging into battle, attacking cities and conquering land, and he was definitely a pioneer, but now it is different, it is obvious that Yan Chunyu has added calmness to his flexibility in battle, and he is even more powerful.

It's just that Yan Chunyu's deployment has not yet been completed, and a guard ran in and said urgently: "Lord Admiral!" The will of the imperial court has arrived! ”

Yan Chunyu's eyebrows raised, the will of the imperial court? court! What good things can they do to themselves?

However, the matter of face still has to be left, Yan Chunyu ordered someone to set up an incense table to welcome the messenger.

The holy decree was very simple, the imperial court ordered Yan Chunyu to immediately lead the second division north to Gyeonggi to protect the safety of Beijing and Tianjin.

Yan Chunyu was so angry that he was thundering, protecting the Jingshi? ! Where can I take care of the safety of the Jingshi now? You must know that Shandong is the foundation of our brothers, all the foundations of Guo Ye are in Shandong, even if you look at the whole country, Shandong is far ahead, Shandong's finance and taxation are already equal to the sum of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, if you are beaten by foreigners, it will be a heavy loss. Give up Shandong, Gongwei Jingshi, how is it possible?

"Grandma!"

Yan Chunyu was furious and roared: "Lao Tzu is still too young in Shandong, and he still wants to transfer Lao Tzu to the north?" There are no doors! Lao Tzu only stayed in Shandong and didn't go anywhere! ”

The eunuch's face changed greatly, and he said sharply: "Bold! Yan Chunyu, you dare to resist the decree and insult the court! This is a deception, enough to destroy your house! ”

"****** eggs! Jingshi is in danger, isn't Shandong in danger? To launch an attack from the sea, the two main directions are Tianjin and Weihai, and all the troops from Shandong will be transferred to Tianjin, so what should Shandong do? This is a careless disregard! The foreigners landed from Shandong, didn't they still drive straight into the capital and go straight to the capital? Are the bigwigs in the court all pigs? The skull is full of feces? ”

Yan Chunyu scolded angrily, "If the general is not subject to the order of the monarch outside, you can reply to the king of Yizheng, I, Yan Chunyu, will lead the Lu army to Weihaiwei for defense, if Weihaiwei is lost, then cut off my head, but let me go to Tianjin, Lao Tzu just won't go!" If you want to guard Tianjin and let the Hunan army go, are the twenty Hunan military camps of his former country eating dry rice? ”

The eunuch was dumbfounded, he didn't expect this Yan Chunyu to resist the decree and disobey it, it was really a virtue with his old boss Guo Ye, one of the two people did not return to Beijing in Shaanxi, and the other did not enter Beijing in Shandong, you are all masters, don't you care about the Jingshi?

"Lord Yan, you have to think clearly, it is a matter of social safety, if you don't obey the order, you really want to move your head!"

The eunuch said bitterly.

"This father-in-law, it's not that the Admiral doesn't want to enter Beijing, but there is no way to enter Beijing now, Tianjin can't be lost, and Weihaiwei can't be lost either! Without Lu Jun, what would Weihaiwei do? I also ask you to report to the king of Zheng, it is really difficult to make the trip, and the safety of Gyeonggi can only be handed over to the Hunan army, or quickly summon Lord Guo Ye back to Beijing to take charge......"

Zhang Suimou hurriedly said, after all, the face still has to be rounded, no matter how Yan Chunyu is also the governor of Shandong in the imperial court, this rule still has to be observed for the time being.
