"Head, you've decided to transfer them over." Hearing Liu Jun's order, Zhong Lin stepped forward and asked suspiciously.

Although there is no way to threaten itself now, the imperial court still has the three governors of Huguang, Sichuan, Yungui and Tibet, which is nominally ruled by the imperial court, more than 2 million lands and nearly 300,000 troops.

Wang Shizhen's Seventh Corps, Li Rong's Fifth Corps and Zhang Qing's Eighth Corps in Guangdong, that is the main force to deal with the imperial court, these hundreds of thousands of people, he will definitely not move, but Zheng Yiqian's words are also right, so Liu Jun decided that he had to fight with the imperial court and not make small moves in the back.

"Don't move, let them have a large-scale exercise." After Liu Jun finished speaking, he turned around and came to the map and pointed to Hanzhong in Shaanxi. Fujian and Guangxi, three places close to the demarcation line of the imperial court, came to three large-scale exercises to deter the imperial court.

Understood, Zhong Lin nodded, turned around and walked out.

Seeing Zhong Lin's distant back, Zheng Yiqian, who was on the side, took a look at the dark night sky outside: "I think you still send a telegram to Zhang Zhidong in your personal name, asking him to help from it, hoping that on the national issue, you can understand the righteousness and don't do things harmful to the country." ”

Zhang Zhidong, as the Minister of Military Aircraft, although he said that he did not control the army, but now he is the pillar of the imperial court, and if he and now Song Pan, the governor of Sichuan in the Ministry of War, assist, then there is no problem.

"Okay, go write me a letter and send it to me." After speaking, Liu Jun turned around and walked out.

Slacker, Zheng Yiqian, who muttered in her heart, shook her head helplessly, turned around and walked out.

In Chengdu, since the last time the telegram of the Liaodong army was delivered to Cixi in the early dynasty, the great old woman did not propose to attack Liaodong.

However, in the face of the Liaodong Army, Cixi also understood that now she couldn't twist her arms and thighs at home, and she could only try to be quiet, not putting forward any words to attack Liaodong, but concentrating the main government affairs on economic development.

This made Zhang Zhidong, who had already intended to withdraw from the imperial court, suddenly rejuvenated, not worried about the bones of the imperial court to say that he was going to attack Liaodong, but concentrated on studying the economic development plan with Songpan.

Tired, indeed tired, although Zhang Zhidong has to work for more than ten hours every day, but this is what he wants to see......

Today, he had just returned from the newly opened gun factory, and before he entered the door, he saw his butler standing in front of the door, looking at him gloomily.

Could it be that Liaodong suffered some defeat, and Zhang Zhidong, who thought of this, hurriedly got off the sedan chair. Walk like a gate.

Since the Liaodong Army entered Boli, he has been paying attention to the dynamics of Liaodong all the time, although the camp is different now, but he knows in his heart that he is a countryman. "Is there something wrong with Liaodong?" Zhang Zhidong, who took a step forward, asked.

The housekeeper shook his head and stepped forward: "Master, Liu Jun, the marshal of Liaodong, has sent you a letter, and I have already put it in the study for you, you see." ”

"Take me there." As soon as he heard that it was Liu Junlai's telegram, Zhang Zhidong was stunned for a moment, and the housekeeper brought it in.

"What does that mean?" On the way to the study, Zhang Zhidong wanted to know the contents too much, and the only one who could have the right to read his letters was his housekeeper.

The butler pondered for a moment and said, "My lord, the letter says that Liaodong will launch an attack on the Japanese mainland in the near future, and I hope you can dissuade the emperor from stabbing Lou Zi in the back when this key enemy is eliminated."

"What?" Hearing that an attack on Japan would be launched soon, Zhang Zhidong raised his head suddenly: "What you said is true. ”

"It is absolutely true that the telegram sent from Liaodong now shows that at present, in Weihai, Lushun, Lianyungang and other places, Liu Jun has concentrated nearly 400,000 troops. And the German 100,000 troops are also approaching Lushun. “

"Go, you go and let Songpan come to me." Hearing that Liaodong had assembled an army of 400,000, Zhang Zhidong felt a sense of excitement in his heart.

Japan, he and Li Hongzhang are the same indignant, the same angry, I heard that Liu Jun is about to attack Japan, Zhang Zhidong combined with the housekeeper's words, has guessed the meaning of the telegram, now, for this matter, he can only find Songpan to discuss, how to make Cixi not move her heart at this critical moment, and attack Liaodong's attention.

The housekeeper heard that Zhang Zhidong was going to find Songpan by himself, so he nodded immediately, turned around and walked out, but the second Zhang Zhidong came to the study alone, and took out the telegram from the drawer, as he thought, although the content of the telegram was short, but the meaning was very clear, that is, on the road, he could start from the overall situation and stabilize the imperial army.

Putting down the telegram in his hand, Zhang Zhidong took a deep breath and thought in his heart, don't worry, I will definitely do a good job in this matter and do a good job in this matter that is beneficial to the country.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhidong spread out the paper with some excitement and began to write on it.

As soon as the revitalization of China was put into writing, and after stamping the big seal of this piece on it, Zhang Zhidong nodded with satisfaction this time, put the calligraphy and painting aside, picked up the teacup, and began to wait for the arrival of Songpan.

Half an hour later, Song Pan hurried to Zhang Zhidong's mansion under the leadership of the housekeeper, and as soon as he entered the door, Song Pan asked, "What are you looking for me in such a hurry?" ”

Zhang Zhidong answered satisfactorily, but took the telegram from the table and handed it to Songpan: "You take a look first." ”

Seeing that Zhang Zhidong was so serious, Songpan took it seriously and looked at it, and asked suspiciously: "Liaodong is going to attack the Japanese mainland." "I don't believe it.

"Yes, the Liaodong side has already concentrated nearly ten corps and 400,000 horses in several ports, and it is estimated that it will soon launch an attack on Japan." After Zhang Zhidong finished speaking, he pointed to the telegram and said again: "What Liu Jun means, let my mother dissuade the emperor and not involve his troops at this time." “

"You don't need to say it, I know what to do, although we are not in the same camp, but on national affairs, I am absolutely unambiguous." Songpan waved his hand and pointed to the telegram.

It is very clear that from Songpan's words, Zhang Zhidong has clearly known that Songpan agrees that there will be no military action against Liaodong before Japan is exterminated.
