Chapter 185 Speaking Strength
"What is that for?" Zhao Qiaoer asked.
"Sister Qiaoer, please tell Zhou Charter after you arrive in Taiwan. The revolutionaries are neither in favor of imperial power nor Champhan as king! We revolutionaries have received his great favor, but the revolutionaries will not give up our ideas because of their personal and favor!" Zhao Han said, "Sister Qiaoer, goodbye, please take care!"
Zhao Han drifted away.
Zhao Qiaoer sighed softly, and Liu Yingshu also sighed, "What you don't advocate? It's all a man's business. Why do girls care so much!"
But he heard Jin Shu say, "Sister Qiaoer, we also said goodbye."
Zhao Qiaoer was shocked: "Shu'er, are you going too? Aren't you angry with the charter? Let's go to Taiwan together. If you don't go back, I don't know how uncomfortable it is!"
Liu Yingshu also advised: "Sister Shu'er, when we arrive in Taiwan, Sister Qiao'er and I will immediately pass through the door and never let the barbarian woman in Alishan take the lead!"
Jin Shu smiled and said, "The two sisters are over-hearted. In fact, my visit to Tianjin this time was arranged by Brother Zhou. General Feng sent troops to North Korea and landed in Incheon. This matter must be confidential and there is no room for leakage. Then I deliberately pretended to be angry and left Taiwan and came to General Feng with Cuihua's sister-in-law to pass on the order of the charter.
Cuihua said rudely: Shuer, you're not angry, I'm really angry! Yao Xi's son of a bitch, I will ignore him all my life!"
"Forget it." Jin Shu said, "Cuihua sister-in-law, you are so good at Brother Yao all day long. He is obedient to you and very good. Now Brother Yao has a new sister-in-law. If you don't go back, I'm afraid..."
Cuihua said, "He is cruel! I'm going back to see what he married!"
Zhao Qiaoer said, "Shua, since General Feng has got the order, let's go back to Taiwan together."
Jin Shu said, "Sister Qiaoer, I fought for the charter to leave Taiwan this time. The charter wants to drive away the Japanese in North Korea, which is my parents' wish before they were alive, and I will personally fulfill this wish for my parents.
Jin Shu took the initiative to ask Feng Guozhang to give an order, but Zhou Charter did not agree. However, after Jin Shu said her reason, Zhou Charter had to agree. First, Kim Shu's request is human feelings, and second, as the daughter of Kim Yujun, a great scholar in North Korea, she has considerable appeal in North Korea. At the beginning, the Japanese searched for Kim Shu's mother and daughter everywhere in order to use their name to promote the North Korean people to cooperate with the Japanese. Now, Feng Guozhang and Park Yong-yeol's war against Japan need to get the support of the North Korean people, establish a regime after expelling the Japanese pirates, and more need the recognition of the North Korean people. With Kim Shu in North Korea, these problems It can be solved easily.
When Jin Shu said this, it was difficult for Zhao Qiaoer to stop him: "In this case, Shu'er, when the matter of North Korea is over, come to Taiwan quickly. Don't let us worry."
Jin Shu nodded, said goodbye to Zhao Qiaoer, Liu Yingshu and Cuihua, and boarded Feng Guozhang's troop carrier.
An hour later, all the warships of the Beiyang Marine Division sailed out of Weihaiwei.
Feng Guozhang and Jin Shu led a guerrilla fleet and all the officers and soldiers of the 5th Division to Incheon, North Korea. The fleet lowered the dragon flag of the Qing Dynasty, but did not fly any flag.
Ding Ruchang led the main force of the Beiyang Marine Division under the banner of the Dragon Flag and went all the way south.
Zaiyi, the king of Duanjun, who rushed to Tianjin, waited left and right at the mouth of Dagu, and did not see the ship welcoming him. It was not until the evening of that day that he got the news that all the Beiyang sailors mutiny and his whereabouts were unknown.
When the news came, Zai Yi vomited blood, fell to the ground, and was unconscious. He was carried back to Beijing's house by his family and lay in **. No matter who shouted, he could not wake up.
In fact, Zaiyi understands very well that he lost the Beiyang sailor. If he wakes up, he can't explain to the Empress Dowager Buddha and simply pretend to be dead!
And the Empress Dowager Buddha in the garden did not come out of the Buddha Fragrance Pavilion for half a month.
In the past half month, at least ten eunuch maids were killed by the Empress Dowager Buddha!
Ten days after the Beiyang sailors rebelled against Weihai Wei, the Qing court announced that the Beiyang sailors had to go to sea for training.
The court did this purely to cover itself. The most powerful army in a country actually changed and spread out. It was his own shame.
What's more annoying is that the Qing Dynasty does not have a force that can compete with the Beiyang Marine Division, that is to say, the Qing Dynasty can't send another fleet to intercept this mutiny army! It can only be left to the left.
The Qing court also had a glimmer of hope for the Beiyang navy. Anyway, the Beiyang navy did not publicly launch the banner of rebellion. They went to Taiwan and defected to the Zhou Charter, which is nominally the prime minister of the Qing Dynasty.
The Beiyang Marine Division was out of the control of the court, but the court could not declare the Beiyang Marine Division a rebel.
On the contrary, after the Beiyang sailor arrived in Taiwan, the court unexpectedly announced that Ding Ruchang's case was the former Beiyang sailor Dingyuan sailor with Lv Tianqing to avenge and design and frame him. The imperial court officially restored Ding Ruchang's position as Admiral of Beiyang Marine, and enjoyed his eyes. At the same time, in order to commend the Beiyang Marine's combat achievements with the Japanese joint fleet in the Miao Island sea, all the officers and soldiers were promoted to the first level!
This is the role of strength!
When the Qing Dynasty came to the foreign power, the Empress Dowager Buddha could only eat it in her front teeth!
The Beiyang navy was obviously a mutiny, but the weak court added officials to the mutiny officers and soldiers, and the Qing court had reached the field where it had lost ground. The court did this to stabilize the Beiyang Marine Division and avoid the gunpoint of this powerful fleet from facing inward. However, this move of the imperial court made more and more powerful generals see the weakness of the Qing Dynasty, and more and more unified generals gradually realized that it was time to speak with guns!
Because the Beiyang Navy, the Qing Dynasty headed by Empress Dowager Cixi, began to find it difficult to control his army!
There was a harbinger of the collapse of the Qing Dynasty.
......
7 a.m. on October 15, 1895 in the Western calendar.
The morning fog ripples, and a faint sunshine reflects from the horizon of the east to the glazed tiles of the Great East Gate. The bright red glazed tiles are shrouded in a layer of wet red light, solemn.
The Great East Gate is the largest of the eight gates in Tainan. This triple-earth gate guards the vast plateau east of Tainan, overlooking the whole city of Tainan to the west and the endless Tainan Plain to the east.
Dadongmen is the most important barrier in Tainan. Tainan, located in the plain, is almost dangerous. Kuidou Mountain, located in the south of the city, is an excellent commanding height. However, Kuidou Mountain is located on the south side of Tainan and can only be used as a support point for Tainan, but it cannot prevent the attackers from entering Tainan.
Therefore, the Great East Gate, an artificial building built on the plain, has become the most important fortress for the defense of Tainan. If the Japanese army wants to enter Tainan, they must break through the Great East Gate!
When Liu Yongfu sat in Tainan, he had built two forts east of the Great East Gate, the Xunfang Fort and the Zhenfang Fort. Xun was a phoenix and the earthquake was thunderous. Liu Yongfu hoped to take advantage of the wind and thunder to protect the gate of Tainan, the Great East Gate.
After Zhang Jun entered Tainan, on the basis of the Xunfang Fort and the Zhenfang Fort, he built 20 kilometers of trenches and more than 100 bunkers, forming three core positions: Dadongmen, Xunfang Fort and Zhenfang Fort. The three core positions are shaped and rely on each other to respond. Between the positions, trenches, roadblocks and bunkers All the houses outside the Great East Gate have been demolished to sweep away the field. In the bunkers and trenches, there are Maxim heavy machine guns, Gatlin machine guns and countless rifles. Any attack from the east will be completely exposed to a vast open land and ruthlessly strangled by the defenders.
And the two forts and the cannons installed on the Great East Gate can provide accurate and powerful artillery support for the defenders.
The officers and soldiers of the First Division of the Zhang Army guarding the Great East Gate are waiting.
A cavalry squadron of the Japanese leader arrived in the East River area outside the Great East Gate last night and had an exchange of fire with the Zhangjun search force. There were casualties on both sides, but they soon withdrew from the battle and broke away from contact. This was a tentative exchange of fire, and both sides seemed cautious.
Then, it was a dead silence all night.
Whether it is the direction of the East River guarded by the Japanese army or the Great East Gate defense line of the First Division of the Zhang Army, it is extremely quiet that even the sound of autumn insects can't be heard.
This is a suffocating tranquility!
Both sides of the confrontation understand that once there is any loosening of this tranquility, it will come immediately, the earth will shake!
The decisive battle is coming. For three months, both sides have been working hard for this moment, but when this moment is close at hand, both sides are a little hesitant.
The Japanese army was scheduled to launch an attack at 6 a.m., but at the last moment, the commander of the Southern Army, Nogi Hiden, suddenly ordered to suspend the attack.
He got the news that it was not good or bad. But it made him feel uneasy.
The base camp called and rejected his request to escort Shenwei Guangchen back to China and send him to the military court.
The base camp did not give any reason, and at the same time, it did not give any indications for his arrest of Mitsushin. The ambiguous attitude of the base camp at least shows that the base camp does not believe that Shenwei Guangchen will cooperate with Zhou Charter, and they do not think Shenwei Guangchen is a traitor.
In the eyes of the base camp, this is just a personal conflict between the commander and the chief of staff, which is not uncommon in the Japanese military to disagree with the commander and the chief of staff.
Nogi Hironori is not a fool. He soon realized that if the judgment of the base camp is correct, the conflict between Kamio Mitsumi and him is only a personal conflict, then this means that he is likely to be hit by Zhou Charter's alienation.
Why did Zhou Charter use alienation against Shenwei Guangchen?
There is only one reason. Shenwei Guangchen's judgment is correct. He discovered Zhou Charter's conspiracy!
Is Shenwei Guangchen right that Tainan is really a trap?
If this is the case, it's not too late to jump to the south now!
