Chapter 174 Zheng Chenggong Second
Zhou Charter secretly scolded Yao Xi as a cheap bone. Cuihua engaged in domestic violence all day long, making Yao Xi's nose blue and face swollen. Now that this mother Yecha has run away, Yao Xi's cheap bone is fucking like mourning!
I heard that Li Guoge sent people to protect Jin Shu across the sea, and Zhou Charter was a little relieved. I had to look up to the sky and sigh: "God, is it really impossible for me, Zhou Charter and Jin Shu?"
"Brother, let's regret our marriage!" Yao Xi said with a sad face.
Zhou Charter sneered: "Dan Cai is not as good as Cuihua?"
"This... This is two different things, ah, Dancai is very good, but without Cuihua, my bones are itchy."
"You bitch!" Zhou Charter scolded: "If we regret marriage, it is not two marriages, but the marriage between the whole Zou and Zhang Jun!" If the Zou clan turns against each other, how can we stand in Taiwan!"
"Brother, what should I do?"
"Let's take one step." Zhou Charter sighed, "After the battle, I will personally go to General Nie to apologize to Jin Shu. Maybe she can change her mind."
Yao Xi said, "Brother, I'm not a brother to pour cold water on you. If you want to change your mind, it is possible for my wife Cuihua, but as for Jin Shu's girl, it is absolutely impossible! This girl is hard!"
Zhou Charter sighed. Yao Xi is right. No one can pull back what Jin Shu has decided.
......
Beijing in autumn is very different from Tainan. The clear sky is cloudless, the cool breeze is blowing, and the fallen leaves are golden.
In front of the Foxiang Pavilion, the water and sky are the color, and the clear Kunming Lake reflects the longevity mountain dyed red by maple leaves. A group of wild birds skimmed across the lake and drifted away in the blue sky.
Autumn is cool, and the Empress Dowager Buddha, who is over 60 years old, is also in a good mood.
Zhou Charter took Zhang Jun to Taiwan. This group of guys with no braids and anti-bones on the back of their heads finally left the territory of the Qing Dynasty, and Beijing was much more peaceful. With the departure of Zhangjun, Emperor Guangxu also became a deflated ball and no longer dared to shout in the Forbidden City. Even the thorny Zhenfei was much more regular. The people in the palace reported to the empress dowager many times that Emperor Guangxu had not met the imperial concubine for more than a month, but he was much closer to the queen. It seems that Emperor Guangxu also realized that Zhou Charter, the backer, is unreliable! Zhenfei, this little bitch, is even more unreliable!
Based on this, the Empress Dowager Cixi felt that Taiwan's cession to the Japanese was really worth a thousand! Lost a remote island, in exchange for the long-term stability of the Qing Dynasty, and also for the supreme authority of the Empress Dowager Cixi - without Zhou Charter, the emperor had to honestly look at the face of the Empress Dowager Buddha!
The Empress Dowager sat in the Foxiang Pavilion, looking at the unified country in front of her, with a smile on her eyebrows.
The smile of the Empress Dowager Buddha made everyone present happy. From Zaiyi, the king of Duanjun, Ronglu, the minister of the prime minister of government, and the resolute minister of military aircraft, to the eunuchs who carefully accompanied the waitress, they all breathed a sigh of relief. In this highly centralized country, the joys and sorrows of the supreme ruler determine the joys and sorrows of a country!
"Congratulations to the old Buddha, congratulations to the old Buddha!" Zaiyi, the king of Duanjun, leaned over and said.
"What can I be happy about?" Empress Dowager Cixi said, "I'm a lonely old woman. I'm not like you. They are all in groups of wives and concubines!"
Zaiyi was shocked, but saw that Cixi smiled and was not unhappy. He hurriedly said, "The governor of Fujian and Zhejiang called. The Japanese have broken through the three defense lines of Chiayi, Taibao and Yizhu. This morning, the vanguard arrived at the city of Tainan. Zhou Charter and his army were surrounded by the Japanese army in Tainan City and became turtles in the urn!" Now, there is no food and fodder in the Zhang army and no rescuers outside, which has reached the end of mountains and rivers. From the perspective of slaves, Tainan will definitely fall within ten days, and Zhou Charter will die without a place to die! These are all the empress dowager Hong Fu Qitian, who let the Japanese eliminate this chaotic ministers and thieves of the Qing Dynasty! As soon as Zhou Charter dies, our Qing Dynasty will be safe for a long time!"
The Empress Dowager Cixi raised her eyebrows slightly. It is her unwavering idea to define Zhou Charter as a traitor. However, on the scene, the official statement of the Qing Dynasty still regards Zhou Charter as an anti-Japanese hero. So far, there is also a loyal and brave mansion in Maoer Hutong, in which there are still Zhou Charter's family members. For Zhou Charter, who holds heavy soldiers, the Empress Dowager Cixi has never dared to turn against him openly.
Now, Zaiyi has broken this layer of paper!
"Zaiyi, Zhou Charter is the loyal and brave uncle of the Qing Dynasty. He is not a traitor!" Cixi said slowly, but her tone was very soft and there was no reproach.
That is to say, the Empress Dowager Cixi also believed that Zhou Charter was in a desperate situation. Only when Zhou Charter became a sick cat did the Qing court dare to stone him!
When their army fell into a dangerous situation, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty were celebrating each other. This is really a joke!
Empress Dowager Cixi: "Guys, is the war in Tainan really so dangerous?" Cixi still dared not take it lightly, although all signs show that Zhou Charter and his Zhang Jun have reached the end of the road.
Zai Yi's eyebrows are flying: "This is true!"
Ronglu glanced at the flying Zaiyi and sneered in his heart. This Zaiyi was full of shit, but the Empress Dowager Buddha believed in his bag of medicine.
Zaiyi bowed his head and said, "Empress dowager, we are all laymans in military affairs. I think we'd better ask Yuan Shikai to talk about it."
Cixi smiled at the back: "Okay, Yuan Shikai, tell me about it."
Yuan Shikai has been standing behind Ronglu, bowing his waist and saying nothing. Hearing the words of the Empress Dowager Cixi, he came forward and said, "Empress dowager, from the perspective of slaves, the victory or defeat of the Tainan war is unknown!"
"What!" Empress Dowager Cixi's face turned blue.
"I have not personally visited the war in Taiwan, but these days, I have been paying attention to Taiwan all the time. After Zhang Jun won the great victories of Changhua and Anping, he has formed an even match with the Japanese army in Taiwan. At that time, Zhou Charter did not go north to compete with the Japanese army, but retreated to Chiayi, which was very strange. What's more strange is that Zhang Jun held on to Jiayi for 15 days, while the two defense lines of Taibao and Yizhu only resisted for four days in total..."
"It's not strange at all," Zaiyi sneered: "Zhang Jun was defeated and his morale was low. Naturally, it was worse day by day. Duanfang took off the Mawei military port. Zhang Jun lost his support, and his military heart was shaken. Naturally, he was defeated! Lord Yuan, I think you are too suspicious!"
Yuan Shikai shook his head: "Zhang Jun is in Chiayi, not a big defeat! At most, they just hurt their fur, while Taibao and Yizhu didn't even hurt their fur! The Empress Dowager, I thought that Zhou Charter was tempting the enemy to go deep. He wanted to gather in Tainan to annihilate the Japanese army and determine the universe in World War I!"
"The Japanese army has 60,000, and Zhou Charter is only 30,000!" Zai Yi shouted.
"Don't forget that in Lushun, Zhou Charter has only 2,000 people, while the Japanese army has 20,000!" Yuan Shikai said, "Empress dowager, what I saw was that Zhang Jun was calm from Jiayi, Taibao, Yizhu to Tainan, but the Japanese army barely marched. In fact, the Japanese army has already shown defeat!"
"Lost image?" The Empress Dowager Cixi's face became extremely ugly: "You mean that Zhou Charter will become the winner?"
"Empress dowager, I dare not say, but with the current situation in Tainan, the probability of Zhang Jun winning is higher than that of the Japanese army!"
The face of the Empress Dowager Cixi's face was as cold as frost.
The Empress Dowager Cixi exiled Zhang Jun to Taiwan, not to hand over Taiwan to Zhou Charter, but to borrow the hands of the Japanese to get rid of him! However, if the Japanese can't get rid of Zhou Charter, the Empress Dowager Cixi will bind herself! Everyone knows that Taiwan is not a remote island. It is rich in products and has a large population. Once the powerful Zhangjun completely controls Taiwan, it means that they can use Taiwan's resources and people to launch a strong challenge to the Qing Dynasty!
Zhang officers and soldiers, since the Zhou Charter, have long hated the Qing Dynasty to the bone! Once they occupy Taiwan, Zheng Chenggong is the second!
The current Zhangjun is more terrible than Zheng Chenggong, and the current Qing Dynasty is weaker than the Qing Dynasty in the Shunzhi period. Imagine that when millions of troops of the Qing army swept across the Central Plains, there was no way to take a Taiwan and had no choice but to hold each other across the sea. Now, no army in the Qing Dynasty can compete with Zhang Jun. In the First Sino-Japanese War, the Qing army was beaten up by the Japanese. They can't even resist the Japanese. How can they resist the wolf-like Zhangjun! Once Zhang Jun crosses the sea and kills a horse gun, he can** and go straight to Beijing!
What's more terrible is that Zheng Chenggong had only one Taiwan in his hand, and now Zhou Charter not only holds Taiwan, but also holds half of North Korea in his hand!
Park Yonglie's fourth division of Zhangjun stationed troops by the Yalu River and stared at the Qing Dynasty!
The military minister said in a low voice: "Empress dowager, I agree with Lord Yuan's statement. Zhou Charter has shown opposition in Taiwan! Not long ago, he appointed Liu Yongfu as the governor of Taiwan without authorization. He regarded himself as the court of Taiwan! Zhou Charter is so unscrupulous that there is only one explanation. He has won the war in Taiwan!"
"This is a rebellion!" Zaiyi's face turned pale: "Empress dowager, we must prepare early! Otherwise, when the Zhou Charter becomes the climate, we will be too late!"
"How to prepare?" Empress Dowager Cixi looked at Zai Yi coldly. This Zaiyi was a mediocre person, but what she said was also on the idea.
Ronglu said, "Empress dowager, I thought that the first thing now is to train troops!" These days, Yuan Shikai has trained troops in a small station, which is quite effective. Now he has trained three towns, 15,000 new troops. The slave went to the small station to watch the ceremony the day before yesterday. Seeing that the new army has advanced and retreated, the atmosphere is new, which is not inferior to the European and American powers. Moreover, in the Battle of Shandong, Yuan Shikai's new army first showed its edge and defeated Dashanyan. From the perspective of slaves, the new army in the small station is the hope for the future of the Qing Dynasty. However, compared with Zhangjun, the new army's strength is insufficient and the equipment is not complete. I beg the empress dowager to allow Yuan Shikai to expand the new army into ten towns and 50,000 people, and increase the military expenditure of 10 million taels of silver to add equipment. In this way, the new army can check and balance the Zhangjun..."
"Ronglu! Who will counterbalance the new army again!" Zai Yi shouted harshly!
