Chapter one hundred and sixty-two Beijing vibration palace
In the Forbidden City in Beijing
Li Hongzhang presented the Ministry of Culture sent from the front to Empress Dowager Cixi, Emperor Guangxu. The atmosphere in the hall was depressed.
Li Hongzhang has just received a report from Zhang Peilun and Li Bingheng that stamping his feet repeatedly is inhuman and inhuman!
This Li Bingheng really delayed more than 10,000 Qing troops and was defeated by the Japanese army in just one and a half days, causing heavy casualties. He led the beaten army to retreat all the way to Liaocheng and retreated hundreds of miles.
Li Hongzhang was shaking with anger. It’s all the imperial court. Look at what the Committee is. It’s not justified to appoint a governor to lead the battle and win. But after all, he is a minister who dare not complain too much and went into the palace overnight to discuss countermeasures.
Empress Dowager Cixi, Emperor Guangxu, was shocked to see the folding, and her heart was cold and cold.
Cixi displeased. "Li Aiqing, didn’t you say that the Sino-Japanese war has a * * chance of winning? So you were invaded by the Japanese in Shandong? Is it good for Wandongyang people that the capital is now empty if the Japanese army sends troops to the north? "
Emperor Guangxu frowned, too. This battle was too unexpected.
Li Hongzhang nai said, "Galeries Lafayette should have come to this battle when I sent Xu Huaijin to ahava for defense ten days ago. He had already made an appointment to meet the enemy together. Unexpectedly, a German envoy was about to visit China, and the former enemy had to be presided over by Li Bingheng, a civilian who was not familiar with military affairs. The Japanese army was arrogant and fierce. For example, it seems that the veteran wanted to leave Beijing for Shandong to take command.
"
Emperor Guangxu replied, "Old nave, even if you go to Shandong, you can be sure to win the battle. Although there are dozens of battalions now, can you stop the Japanese army without a hundred-combat division?"
Li Hongzhang replied, "Now the emperor Li Bingheng has lost more than 10,000 troops, damaged more than half of the weapons of the Qing army, and the number of weapons discarded is not much. It is really difficult to deploy his troops from their respective places. Now he can rely on more than 20 battalions of Yuan Xiangcheng in northern Shandong to intercept the Japanese attack and escape, but it is not enough to want to destroy the whole world in World War I."
Cixi asked with a look of fear, "That’s good. At the beginning, Aigu said that not to declare war, you need to take out some silver to stabilize the Oriental people. Even if North Korea is not a territory of the Qing Dynasty, he wants to allow him to station troops for a long time, or you Xinjiang ministers have to go to war. Now, the Japanese army is only a thousand miles away from Beijing and will be able to arrive in Beijing in a few days!"
Li Hongzhang replied, "Going back to Lafayette this World War I is bound to happen. If you indulge blindly, not only North Korea will not be guaranteed, but also Longxing, outside Taiwan Province, will be threatened by Japan. At any time, it is possible to invade our territory. Although the Japanese army landed in Shandong, it is not without countermeasures."
Emperor Guangxu’s spirit vibrated and asked, "Old Aiqing has a good plan. Please tell me as soon as possible."
Li Hongzhang replied, "As early as mid-October, I have sent an official to Sichuan Governor Song Qing to lead the Xiang army to guard both capital city in the south of ten thousand people.
I have arrived in Beijing today to ensure the safety of Beijing; At the same time, Dong Fuxiang, the governor of Gansu Province, has also led the main force of Ganjun to Beijing. The main force is Wenxianggong, the elite of Pingjiang in those years, who can be sent to Shandong to encircle the Japanese aggressors. Yuan Xiangcheng, Dong Fuxiang, the two armies and Li Bingheng’s surplus troops are twice as many as the Japanese army, which can ensure our army to fight in Shandong! "
Emperor Guangxu shouted, "Well, it is necessary to keep the Japanese army in Jiaodong and not go deep into Zhili to threaten the capital, according to the old nave."
Li Hongzhang’s face is still worried and hesitant. "It’s the natural danger of Lafayette’s imperial capital. Now it’s critical. It’s ahava, ahava, and the home port of the Qing Beiyang Navy. Now the Japanese army is bound to invade the coastal defense battery in ahava in an attempt to encircle our Beiyang Navy hand in hand. Now the situation of Beiyang Navy is worrying."
Cixi’s face is uncertain, and it is necessary to keep Beijing safe. A Beiyang Navy is no longer under Cixi’s consideration. The defeat of Beiyang Navy can just remove the hard thorn in the throat of Beiyang-Manchu royal family.
Silent for a moment, Cixi replied, "I think Li Aiqing’s heart has also been somewhat concerned about ahava. I am worried about whether these three people can really destroy the Japanese aggressors. If I am not sure, I still want Zhang Jian Nie Gongting to lead the North Korean elite to return home. After all, compared with North Korea, the safety of the capital is just a vassal country. There is no need to leave the elite there."
Li Hongzhang got a fright and hurriedly said, "Galeries Lafayette is a must. Now North Korea is also."
It’s the height of the war that orders Nie Gongting to withdraw his troops, which will fall short. What’s more, the Japanese trailing pursuit will lead to a crushing defeat. Some time ago, Zhang Jian just discussed that Zhang Jian will try his best to annihilate the Japanese main force in the next few days, and then play Kaibanshi at one stroke. Now he is afraid that there will be good news on the 6 th and 7 th. "
"Oh?" Emperor Guangxu pricked up his ears when he heard the spirit of North Korea. "Old nave, are you sure that Zhang Jian will have a good news in the near future?"
Li Hongzhang Nai nodded and replied, "This time, the Japanese offensive has been captured by spies sent by Jian, and tight encirclement, both places in Weihai, North Korea, is waiting for the Japanese army to enter the country. At this time, I am afraid that Zhang Jian has grasped the overall situation because Li Bingheng, a veteran in Beijing, has delayed the military affairs because of his inexperience in military affairs. Otherwise, the Japanese army would never be so arrogant."
Emperor Guangxu nu way "Li Bingheng corpse vegetarian generation! Delaying the military plane and delaying the important event should be severely punished! "
Cixi nodded and replied, "Well, I’ll tell you what. Take off Li Bingheng’s top hat and take him to Beijing to be punished by the punishments."
Emperor Guangxu said, "I don’t know who is the commander in chief of Yu Qingjun since I went to Li Bingheng as the governor of Shandong Province."
Li Hongzhang hesitated and bullet replied, "Galeries Lafayette Huang Zhang Jian helped the old minister defend ahava and sent back a young general, Xu Huaijin, to the North Korean army."
Participate in the consultation and assist Counsellor Nie Gongting’s army. This man has been following the firm for a long time, and his ability is outstanding. Zhuo Yuechen can temporarily encircle the Japanese aggressors with his commander in chief! "Empress Dowager Cixi nodded." Well, since you must have a certain ability in terms of qualifications … "Li Hongzhang smiled and said," Galeries Lafayette was not too old when I was a teacher with the army, but just a few years older than Chi … "
Chapter one hundred and sixty-three The Japanese arrived for the first time
It is not clear to Xu Huaijin that Li Hongzhang should go directly to the court to command the 6,000 Qing army. Although he is only a beaten army, it is not easy to get something urgent. Zhang Jian and Nie Shicheng strongly recommend Li Hongzhang’s risky move to push Xu Huaijin out early.
At this time, Xu Huaijin was still preparing for the war in Motianling. Now the trench fortifications have already been built and the heavy weapons have been protected. Now the artillery elites in General Xu Huaijin have been temporarily scattered, quickly sketching the reference table of the artillery position in Motianling and sorting out the shelling data will be the most effective attack on the Japanese firepower.
Xu Huaijin’s strength is not enough, so he can rely on the preparation of precise calculation week to ensure that he can hold on to the Motianling for the longest time and wait for Yuan Shikai’s help.
It was not until the next day that the main force of the fourth division of Muzhen came late.
Hei Muzhen was furious when he saw the fiasco of Fu Gang God Blessed Cavalry Wing, and at the same time he stepped up his guard. Less than two days later, the Qing army actually built fortifications on Motianling and ambushed Fu Gang God Blessed Cavalry Wing at the same time. It is said that the leading general is definitely not the average person, at least much worse than the commander-in-chief of the Qing army who led the army yesterday. It is absolutely not so easy for him to remain. I don’t know that the Great Qing Dynasty still has talents compared with the Chinese tiger in North Korea.
Heimu Zhenbai’s plan of quick dash and lightning strike for the South Fort has gone bankrupt. Now that the Qing army has really seen its intention, there is no need to speed up the March when it is fighting for it. It is necessary to let the Qing army stop marching in a hurry and make repairs while marching. After all, after two days of heavy fighting, the Japanese army is already quite tired.
So the Japanese army has been delayed until the next day, when it arrived at Motianling.
Enemies are particularly jealous when they meet.
You’re welcome, Hei Muzhen also ordered the artillery to directly launch a fierce artillery bombardment, with 3 mm and 57 mm infantry guns and 75 mm heavy guns firing together. With the roar of the artillery, clouds of orange flames and black smoke spread from the mountains, firing deadly shells or bending or straight trajectory across the sky, slamming into hillsides or bunkers for a few minutes, and hundreds of shells poured into the position of the Qing army. Suddenly, the mountains and rocks flew in flames, and the vegetation destroyed pieces of scorched earth and appeared in front of the Japanese army.
All the Qing troops were hiding in the trench fortifications, and the large-scale bombing of the Japanese army made the broken stones and branches fall off from time to time. The trench fortifications cleverly protected the Qing army. Before the war, Xu Huaijin told them to be careful to hide their bodies and not to expose themselves easily. The Japanese artillery was very powerful. Don’t be a fool.
After several waves of shelling, the Motianling gradually returned to calm.
Hei Muzhen looked at the incredible Motianling and nodded secretly. Just now, the Japanese artillery fired at least 1,000 shells. How can the Qing army urgently build fortifications to resist it? I’m afraid there have been heavy casualties now.
Hei Muzhen took Li Bingheng’s position to measure that the Qing army in Motianling was doomed to make a big mistake.
Hei Muzhen ordered, "The forty-fifth infantry regiment of Yasunari Pavilion led by you launched a general attack on the Motianling position and covered it with heavy machine guns. At all costs, take the Qing army position and get the Motianling, and the ahava Fort will not be broken!"
"Hay!" Yasunari, the great temple, nodded mercilessly and turned back to command the 45th Infantry Wing to attack the Motianling position.
Thousands of Japanese infantry, Yasunari, led a flood to the position of the Qing army. Nogi Maresuke led the 44th United Front to win the position of Li Bingheng in World War I, and praised Nogi Maresuke for being good at fighting hard and winning the battle. Yasunari was not envious but also a little jealous.
