Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 123
"Brigade Commander, a telegram from the Ministry of War has arrived. As expected, let us take care of ourselves." Jiang Fei said while holding the telegram.

Liu San took the telegram and said, "Damn it, why should the Ministry of War send the first division to deal with such a mess? Of course it's going to be handled by itself."

Jiang Fei nodded, but did not speak.Liu San continued: "Pass my order, the first regiment, the second regiment, and the artillery battalion will gather, and the third regiment will stay on Jeju Island."

"Yes." Jiang Fei responded and turned to leave.

Just when the troops were assembled and ready to march towards Seoul.The North Korean envoy ran over in a hurry again, "General, General."

"Why the hell are you back? Didn't I ask you to inform you, Your Majesty, are we going to be there soon?" Liu San asked wonderingly.

"It's not good, general. The king has not seen the general for a few days. In desperation, he has signed an armistice agreement with the rebels. With Pyongyang as the boundary, the north and the south are divided. But today, there are a large number of Japanese troops around Pyongyang, and now they have occupied the territory. Half of North Korea. Jeju Island, where the general is located, is also surrounded by the Japanese army. The envoy tried his best to inform the general, so he turned back."

"Damn, what do you want to do?" Liu San scolded, turned around and said to a soldier, "Go and send electricity to the Ministry of War, and introduce the situation here. Let the reconnaissance company go out to figure out the deployment of troops, and come back Report."

"Yes."

"The envoy should go back quickly, the general here can handle it himself." Liu San said.

"Now there are Japanese troops everywhere, where did the general ask the minister to go?" the North Korean envoy said helplessly.

"Report to the brigade commander, the telegram cannot be sent out. There may be a problem with the line!" A telegraph operator reported.

"Report to the brigade commander, the reconnaissance company reported that the Japanese army has surrounded us. There are two full divisions and heavy weapons." Another soldier reported.

Liu San said to the correspondent beside him: "All the troops are assembled and on standby, let the work team rush to make dry food."

"Brigade Commander, do you want to break out?" Jiang Fei asked.

"Damn it, brother, we are surrounded by two divisions in one brigade, and if you don't run away, you are still waiting for them to let you go?" Liu San said helplessly.

Jiang Fei rolled his eyes and continued: "People may just want to suppress us and not let us move. They will withdraw when the overall situation in North Korea is settled."

"Stop fucking nonsense, I have been a soldier for decades, and I have never been surrounded and waited for the enemy to retreat. When surrounded, the only way is to break through. There is no other way, go and prepare." Liu San angrily leave.

There was a trace of coldness in Jiang Fei's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.Maybe he didn't even realize it, but the restlessness in his blood had gradually made him lose his rationality.

Even Guan Xuqing did not expect the rapid changes in the situation in North Korea.Fortunately, Guan Xuqing has realized the seriousness of the North Korean problem, and sent Zhao Bingjun to North Korea to collect intelligence.

In addition, I am always paying attention to North Korea's reports, but three days have passed.There has been no response since I sent the self-care from the Ministry of War.Whether or not the rebellion was wiped out should have an answer now.

"Your Majesty, Feng Xianghua is asking to see you." Wang Shang said.

"Let him in."

"twitter."

After a while, Feng Xianghua in military uniform appeared in front of Guan Xuqing.Compared with the previous dress in Vietnam, Feng Xianghua in front of him looks more like a veteran general, and the general star on his shoulder highlights his important position in the army.But now, with an aggrieved face, he acted like a child.

"Come to see the emperor."

"Xianghua, get up."

"Your Majesty, I can't get up."

"Huh? Why?"

"The classmates who came back from Germany with Chen have all taken up posts in various divisions. Chen is worse than them, but he only hangs around in the military department all day. If the emperor doesn't trust Chen, let Chen return to his father and be his vanguard." Feng Xianghua said holding his breath, still kneeling on the ground and refusing to get up.

"Xianghua, do you know why I only left you in the capital?" Guan Xuqing asked with narrowed eyes.

"Your Majesty must not trust my ministers, so I want my ministers to practice more." It took Feng Xianghua a long time to squeeze out these two sentences.

Guan Xuqing stood up and helped Feng Xianghua up.He smiled and said: "That's right, I want to practice you more, but it's definitely not that I can't trust you. It's that I want to use you more. Are you working seriously in the Ministry of War these days?"

"I don't dare to be negligent for a day, and I will do my duty."

"Okay, let me ask you, has the telegram from North Korea arrived?" Guan Xuqing suddenly became serious, which made Feng Xianghua feel uncomfortable.

"Well, it seems not yet."

"Hmph, North Korea counteracted a peasant uprising. I have a brigade of soldiers in North Korea. What's more, with the assistance of North Korean troops, why haven't you even sent a telegram for so many days? What's wrong with you in the Ministry of War? Why? Everyone noticed that things were abnormal, but you didn't notice anything, and you complained about this and that to me." Guan Xuqing yelled at Feng Xianghua.

Feng Xianghua knelt down on the ground again in horror, and said to Guan Xuqing, "I deserve death for my crimes."

Guan Xuqing turned around and said, "Xianghua, I will tell you a story. You analyze and analyze, who is right and who is wrong."

"Cha." Feng Xianghua knelt on the ground, covered in cold sweat.

"It is said that once upon a time there were three pigs who lived in a village where wolves often haunted at night. During the day, the three pigs were building houses for themselves. The first pig made a house of straw, and the second pig made of wood. To build a house, the third pig built a house with bricks. Tell me, which of the three pigs survived in the end?" Guan Xuqing turned around as he spoke, and looked at Feng Xianghua who was kneeling on the ground.

"I think the third pig should have survived," Feng Xianghua said.

"Oh? Why?" Guan Xuqing regained his smile and pulled Feng Xianghua up.

"A house built of bricks is strong and stable, and wild wolves will definitely not be able to enter." Feng Xianghua reasoned.

"Well, that's a good point. But can a brick house be built in one day? If it can't be built well, how should we deal with the wolves at night?" Guan Xuqing asked with a smile.

"Uh, this minister didn't think well." Feng Xianghua lowered his head again in embarrassment.I thought that the three years in Germany had given me a lot of knowledge and experience.Who knew, in front of this 20-year-old emperor, it was as if he had been stripped naked, and everything was visible.

"Hehe, let me tell you. The first pig is perfunctory and will not survive. The third pig is so ambitious that it will not survive. The second pig has built the strongest relatively speaking in the only time before dark." For a wooden house, after the first night, you can reinforce the bricks on the outside of the wood. After that, the house will become stronger and stronger to survive." Guan Xuqing taught.

"The minister has been taught."

"Then do you now know why I put you in the Ministry of War? Now you are that wooden house, which may be sheltered from ordinary wind and rain. But in the event of a violent storm, you will still fall over. I will build you into a I am another generation of famous generals after Zuo Zongtang." Guan Xuqing said impassionedly.

"Your Majesty, what can I do with my subject? Let the Emperor love you so wrongly." Feng Xianghua knelt down in front of him and cried bitterly.

"I won't misunderstand the person. Get up. Be good at your Ministry of War and find a way to contact North Korea. There are many things for you to learn in the Ministry of War, so train yourself well. When I want to use you When the time comes, you should be like a drawn sword, invincible. Do you understand?" Guan Xuqing said to Feng Xianghua.

"The minister leads the order."
