The sun was shining hotly on the ground, there was a heat wave everywhere, and in the mountain grass on the outskirts of Lushun, two men in gray military uniforms and one in zombie suits were pouting their butts. Search on the ground like a devil entering the village.

Damn, I'm so angry, Liu Jun sat on a rock, threw away the wooden stick he had just picked up in his hand, and wiped his sweat with his sleeve in annoyance.

"Head, I can't find it." Zhong Lin, who was bending down and looking for Liu Jun throwing a grenade just now, looked up and saw Liu Jun sitting on the stone, stood up and asked.

"Nonsense, if you don't find him, Lao Tzu won't eat today." After Liu Jun finished speaking, he picked up the wooden stick that was still on the ground and began to conduct a carpet search of the entire grass.

Half an hour later, Zhong Lin finally found the grenade in the grass, ran over, and handed the grenade to Liu Jun.

Liu Jun didn't look at it, and handed it to Wu Datong directly. Faintly, this is a sentence: "It's been too long." ”

Although Wu Datong didn't care about the military, he could also see that the time for this grenade to explode was too long, and it took at least 30 seconds for Liu Jun to throw it out just now.

Thirty seconds, even if you throw it out, it will take twenty or thirty seconds to explode, and in this half a minute, not to mention blowing up the enemy, even if the two sides pick it up and throw it, they have to throw it back and forth several times.

It's just that the enemy doesn't pick it up, but when the grenade explodes, I'm afraid the enemy will already run up and see the bayonet red.

If the time is not shortened, this thing is a waste.

Wu Datong looked at the grenade in his hand and was puzzled: "Dashuai, how much time do you think is better, so that I can also let people improve." ”

How much time, Liu Jun, who had already mounted the horse, lowered his head and pondered. Raise your head: "Seven or eight seconds is fine." After saying that, he whipped his horsewhip and headed for Arthur City.

At the headquarters of the Lushun Army, Liu Jun, who was sitting in the middle of the conference room, looked at these Jiyuan tiger generals who came from afar, and his heart was also full of curiosity.

These people are Feng Guozhang, Duan Qirui, Luo Dacheng, and Zhang Yi, who were urgently recalled by Liu Jun a few days ago.

After receiving Liu Jun's telegram, these people returned to Lushun as quickly as possible.

Time is pressing, Weng Tongyi has been away from Lushun for five days, and it is estimated that he is almost in Beijing at this time, and after adding his report and the decision of the imperial court, Liu Jun estimates that at the latest, the imperial court will only give him ten days.

Ten days, within ten days, Liu Jun asked the Liaodong frontline troops to complete the reorganization, mobilization, and preparation of sufficient materials, and the time was relatively tight.

Liu Jun had to ask these people to rest for a day, and then hold a meeting to make arrangements.

Just now, Liu Jun had already said about beating Weng Tonggong and expelling the imperial court a few days ago, and now, he was slowly watching the expressions of these people.

After all, these people are nominally officials of the Great Qing Kingdom, and the devil knows if these people will be on the same line as themselves.

He thought about it, he did it with himself, risked rebellion, Liu Jun welcomed, not together, Liu Jun didn't care about one less person to eat in this world.

However, it seems that the expressions of these people are very angry, but they are all aimed at the imperial court.

Among them, the strongest reaction is Luo Dacheng.

Slammed the table, the upright Luo Dacheng stood up suddenly, and roared loudly: "Damn, the court is simply bullying, our monument is to commemorate the people, these bastards, they are really not things, and they are scolded viciously." Luo Dacheng even looked at Liu Jun and shouted: "Dashuai, forget it the other way, I'll play the striker for you." ”

Liu Jun was very satisfied with Luo Dacheng's reaction, nodded with a smile, motioned for Luo Dacheng to sit down, and looked at the few people sitting on both sides of Zhou's seat. Slowly, Liu Jun said lightly: "What do you mean?"

Although the answers are different, the purpose is the same thing, that is, Liu Jun did this, and they did it.

Since this is the case, Liu Jun is relieved.

He didn't think of rebellion, because after all, at this time, the imperial court was Datong, and once he rebelled, he would be condemned by the whole country. This will be very bad for yourself, Liaodong, and Liaodong.

However, if the court has to come to beat itself, then don't blame yourself for being unkind.

Nodding with satisfaction, Liu Jun looked at Zhong Lin, who was sitting beside him, and motioned for Zhong Lin to read out the order.

Zhong Lin nodded, stood up and took out the green folder: "Order."

Bang, a uniform sound, except for Liu Jun, everyone stood up and stood straight.

Listening to where Zhong Lin read the order, Liu Jun closed his eyes, he didn't believe it, he put two corps in Liaoyang and Yingkou, and he couldn't stop the attack of the imperial court at that time.

This time, Liu Jun directly reorganized the entire Liaodong and North Korean forces.

Lushun Dalian, the only pair of Jinzhou, was reorganized into the Praetorian Guard, which was the only army that did not use a number. Army Commander Wu Hao.

The Korean troops were reorganized into the First Corps, with the Corps Commander Ding Ruchang under the jurisdiction of Li Rong's First Army and Shousan's Second Army. The Corps headquarters is located in Pyongyang.

Yingkou, Jinzhou, Panjin, Fuzhou, Wafang, that is, the troops on the south side of Xiuxian County as the boundary, all reorganized into the Second Corps, the Corps Commander Feng Guozhang, Deputy Commander Zhang Yi, under the jurisdiction of Zhang Yi's Third Army and Zhang Debiao's Fourth Army. The headquarters of the Corps is located in Liaoyang.

The Third Corps, which is north of Xiuxian County, is the commander of the corps, Feng Guozhang, the deputy commander, Luo Dacheng, and the Fifth Army of Luo Dacheng and the Sixth Army of Ran Xu......

Liu Jun's instructions were very clear, the First Corps was to prevent the Japanese army in Korea, and the main responsibility of the Third Corps and the Fourth Corps was to guard against the imperial court. As for the Janissaries, they were specifically responsible for the security of Arthur.

Originally, the Lushun Army was reorganized into a corps, and the corresponding military rank would be promoted, but the time was urgent, Liu Jun didn't have time to get these, he knew that these guys who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic were very kind to this, and with a slight smile, Liu Jun stood up: "Your military rank, Zhong Lin is dealing with it, and it will be conveyed to your hands when the time comes, I think you are all military commanders at the minimum." The lowest are all lieutenant generals. ”

The words suddenly made a few people who were still full of seriousness just now burst into laughter.

Indeed, what he cares about most now is the star on his collar badge, not to show off, but because it is an honor for a soldier.

Ahem, cough softly a few times, let these people calm down, Liu Jun changed his smile just now, and said seriously: "Lao Tzu told you, the rank has been promoted, if you don't give me a good guard." Don't come back to see Lao Tzu. ”

"Understood," everyone replied in unison.

The Arthur Army, once again, began to move.

On the official roads of Liaoyang, Fushun, Yingkou, Yingkou, and Jinzhou, you can see at any time that the Lushun army wearing gray military uniforms, big caps and cloth shoes is being pulled out to their respective stations for reorganization.

Tianjin, Li Hongzhang has been a little worried these days, he has already gotten the news from Yang Shixiang that Liu Jun beat Weng Tonggong angrily.

He didn't have anything to do other than angrily scold Liu Jun for being a scourge, after all, Liu Jun had already beaten him.

At this point, Li Hongzhang is not single-lined, what he is worried about is the attitude of the imperial court, Liu Jun would be fine if he beats people in other circumstances, but this time, Weng Tongyi represents the imperial court.

To fight the Qin Cha is to hit the imperial court, and to beat the imperial court is to slap the emperor's face and Cixi's face.

Now Weng Tongyi has returned to Beijing. He really didn't know what would have happened if Cixi had known everything that had happened in Lushun.

In the past few days, he has asked people to observe the movements in Beijing, but it has been five or six days, and there is still no news, which makes him a little vague all of a sudden, and he does not know what medicine the imperial court sells.

Closing the book in his hand in annoyance, Li Hongzhang was about to go out to breathe, but before he could go out, he saw Yang Shixiang running in in a panic.

Yang Shixiang is Li Hongzhang, who is specifically responsible for collecting information on Beijing.

As soon as he saw Yang Shixiang, Li Hongzhang stepped forward.

He asked lightly: "Is there any news from Beijing?" ”

Yang Shixiang didn't answer, just shook his head.

This made Li Hongzhang's heart chuckle, it was not news from the imperial court, so there was only one place that could make Yang Shixiang anxious.

Taking a deep breath, Li Hongzhang was afraid that he would not be able to bear it, so after returning to his seat, he guessed and asked, "Is it Liu Jun?" ”

This time, Yang Shixiang did not shake his head, but nodded heavily.

"What's wrong?" Li Hongzhang stretched his neck.

"My lord, Shanhaiguan has reported that the troops in Liaodong are moving on a large scale. According to the report from the general army of Shanhaiguan, the Lushun army is gathering in Jinzhou, Liaoyang, and Yingkou on a large scale. The total number of troops reached 60,000. ”

"What" Li Hongzhang stood up violently, his eyes widening.

Yang Shixiang knew that Li Hongzhang had this reaction, so he shook his head helplessly, and could only say it again.

With a plop, Li Hongzhang, who heard the news of Yang Shixiang once, fainted to death on the chair at once.
