Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 154 Tokyo Massacre (1)
"The army wears Xiao Xiao and goes out to fight, let everyone clear the two princes, Teacher Weng, and Master Zuo Zongtang for me!" Feng Xianghua cried bitterly after receiving the telegram. It can be said that Zuo Zongtang is his bole.The sword in his hand was given by Zuo Zongtang himself.Compared with other murders, Zuo Zongtang's death hit him harder.

"Xianghua, is that what the emperor said?" Feng Zicai was worried that his son would violate the emperor's order and ruin his future.

"Father, read it for yourself." Feng Xianghua handed the telegram to Feng Zicai.

"Yes, General." After reading the telegram, Feng Zicai handed it over to Feng Xianghua, gave him a standard military salute, turned and left.

From Yokohama to Tokyo is even closer than Tianjin to Beijing, and it only took 5 hours to get there without a car at that time.So a mighty white army set off from Yokohama, aiming at Tokyo.

At the same time, the Qing army suddenly launched an attack in various places in China, which caught the army that was still hastily gathering and preparing for war by surprise.Many fronts were breached, and the entire defense line was riddled with holes.

As for the navy, white sails and white cloths are also erected, but don't get me wrong, it's not a white flag! !Their neat naval formation sailed directly to Hokkaido from the East China Sea into the Pacific Ocean, and they had no patience to wait.The total destruction of the fleet they need!
"Aren't you still talking about peace? What's the situation?" Emperor Meiji cursed.

"Your Majesty, the army of the Qing Dynasty went out with Dai Xiao. It seems that the emperor of the Qing Dynasty is dead. Our assassin succeeded!!" Hirobumi Ito said excitedly.

"Really? But why was there no chaos in the Qing Dynasty, and the army was still so neat?" Emperor Meiji said worriedly.

"This nation has lost its supreme leader, let alone being assassinated by me. Of course, we have to pretend to attack this country. As long as we block their attack, then it will be their turn. It will be our turn." It's time to counterattack." Ito Hirobumi's good plan has actually been shattered.

"Well, inform the defenders in Tokyo that they only need to stick to it for three days." Emperor Meiji nodded and said.

After Li Hongzhang presented a beautiful woman to the ambassador, he waited for a few days and did not see Hirobumi Ito.Feeling faintly that something was wrong, sure enough, on the fourth day after the girl left Tianjin, she received the arrest order from the Imperial Guards of the capital.

Li Hongzhang was escorted to Beijing after being tied up by Wuhuada. In fact, Guan Xuqing was like a mirror in his heart. Of course he knew that this matter had nothing to do with Li Hongzhang, but he hated Li Hongzhang's carelessness, and he didn't even remind him.The telegrams are full of how to submit to the Qing Dynasty, and how to show weakness to the Qing Dynasty.Well, everyone rushed into the capital, the Forbidden City, and the Hall of Supreme Harmony to kill themselves.He was still foolishly waiting for someone to negotiate in Tianjin. How could such a stupid, pedantic person be an official? Guan Xuqing decided to take this opportunity to push Li Hongzhang to the end.

"Your Majesty, I'm a capital punishment! But I really don't know that these women are actually assassins!" Li Hongzhang knelt in the Hall of Mental Cultivation and cried to Guan Xuqing.

Now, he has long lost the idea of ​​living, and the only hope is that the emperor will show mercy and forgive his family.

"Before going to Tianjin, what did I tell you?" Guan Xuqing turned his back to Li Hongzhang, he was deeply afraid of the impulse to want him to die when he saw him.

"Slaves inspected, slaves deserve death." Li Hongzhang kowtowed to the ground non-stop.

Guan Xuqing raised his head, trying hard to stop the tears in his eyes from staying. "I tell you, people just want to delay time through negotiations. I don't believe that people have the sincerity of peace talks. Let you make harsh demands here and get them to express their stance as soon as possible. To show that the great power of the Celestial Dynasty has given me a chance to reform." Guan Xuqing turned around suddenly, stared at Li Hongzhang with murderous eyes and said, "But what about you? What did you do in Tianjin? Not only did you bring the assassin into the palace, you didn't even know he slipped away under your nose? "

"It's a death sentence for a slave, please give me the punishment." Li Hongzhang was already in tears.

Guan Xuqing squatted in front of Li Hongzhang, fiddled with Li Hongzhang's hair, and said slowly: "The assassin failed this time, do you know why? Because my Ama, who is Li Hongzhang's colleague in the military aircraft department, Prince Jiu, blocked me. It was a fatal blow. This time, the Qing Dynasty not only lost an imperial teacher like Weng Tongsu, but also lost Zuo Zongtang, who had been rare for hundreds of years. How much is your head of Li Hongzhang worth?"

Hearing what the emperor said, Li Hongzhang was even more frightened. It seemed that he was going to hurt his family members, so he said hastily, "I, Li Hongzhang, deserve to die. Please let the emperor off because of Li Hongzhang's loyalty to the Qing Dynasty and the emperor." Hongzhang's family."

"Hehe, Hongzhang, in the 23rd year of Daoguang (1843), you were selected into Yougong and entered Beijing by your father's order to take the Shuntian Township Examination in the next year (Jiachen), and took the mid-term exam in one fell swoop; in the 27th year (1847) you passed the Dingwei Division II examination. A No. 13 Jinshi, who founded the Huai Army with one hand, and the first scholar to lead the army in the Qing Dynasty. He is known as the capable man of both civil and military skills in the Qing Dynasty. His assistants Daoguang, Xianfeng, and Tongzhi seem to be the veterans of the four dynasties. Now, many middle and high-level generals in the army are your former troops. I will not kill you, but I heard that your childhood nurse passed away last year. You Ding You can go, and leave the affairs of the court alone." Guan Xuqing sighed , muttered.

The "emperor" Li Hongzhang never imagined that the emperor would let him live out of such a big mess.What's more, I know his resume by heart, and I am completely moved.

"Go back and reflect on yourself. You are not too old to move. Someday I will still need you." Guan Xuqing left the Hall of Mental Cultivation after finishing speaking.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the old minister must stay by the Emperor's side as an ox and a horse, Your Majesty, the old minister will not leave." Li Hongzhang was completely moved by Guan Xuqing. Not only did he not kill him, but he also hinted that he would be used in the future.While kneeling, he moved towards the direction Guan Xuqing left.

Guan Xuqing ignored it and ran directly to the Military Aircraft Department. Now that the Military Aircraft Department suddenly lost two important officials, the others were all very busy.

"The emperor is here." Wang Shang's unique voice from outside the Military Aircraft Department sounded again.

Everyone in the Military Aircraft Department stood up and knelt down toward the door.

"Get up, tell me about the situation on the front line?" Guan Xuqing's heart had already flown, he didn't know how the defense was adjusted during the negotiation, and whether the front attack was smooth.

"Your Majesty, the two divisions led by Lu Yiwei have already detoured to the rear of Kanazawa, flanking the frontal attacking troops, and breaking the city is just around the corner. Although Feng Xianghua's call to attack is a bit frustrated, he promises to capture Tokyo within three days. It's just the navy." Peng Yulin Said with a frown.

"How is it?" Guan Xuqing stood up and asked.

"Yan Fu called. The navy seems to have evaporated. It's not in the Hokkaido military port. All the warships have left the port, but they don't know where to go."

Guan Xuqing frowned, paced back and forth, and suddenly stood still and said, "Let Yan Fu lead the fleet back to the East China Sea immediately, and guard the supply line from Lianyungang to Nagasaki."

"twitter."

Guan Xuqing's guess was correct, and he mistakenly thought that Dai Xiao, the Qing army, went out to fight because the emperor died.Therefore, the supply line of the Qing army was suddenly attacked. As the main warship went north to Hokkaido to find the Japanese fleet for a decisive battle, the escorting gunboats were sunk almost without any resistance, and the corresponding two transport ships were also destroyed. The supplies shipped to the frontline troops, except for ammunition, food, and a large amount of daily necessities, all sank into the sea.

"Snapped"

After Guan Xuqing received this memorial in Qianqing Palace, he fell heavily to the ground. It was his own impulsiveness that made people take such a big advantage.

"These beasts, tell Feng Xianghua that their supplies have already been taken into the sea to feed the fish. Their food will not be delivered in a short time. Let them find their own way. If they can't take Tokyo, I will starve to death. Take Tokyo So soldiers can be exempted from military discipline for 3 days." Guan Xuqing deliberately wanted to create an event that would shock the whole world.

"Cha." Liang Qichao, who had just fallen into the military plane in an emergency, responded.

"Also, let Yan Fu and Deng Shichang enter the East China Sea in two pairs from the sea and the Pacific Ocean. Be sure to choke the fleet to death in the East China Sea! You can't send a warship back." Guan Xuqing said angrily.

"Cha." Peng Yulin had never seen Guan Xuqing lose such a temper.

Suburbs of Tokyo.

"General, the imperial court has an urgent telegram." A telegraph soldier handed a telegram to Feng Xianghua.

Feng Xianghua stared at the telegram more and more afraid, what does the emperor want to do?Discipline for three days?That's not a mess! !But the supplies are gone, and I really have to go to Tokyo to snatch them, otherwise the brothers will starve to death.

"Come here." Feng Xianghua put down the telegram and called.

"General." A soldier rushed over.

"Let the communications soldier tell Master Feng that the plan has changed. Attack the city at 11 o'clock tonight!" Feng Xianghua looked at his pocket watch.

"Yes." The soldier turned and left.

The attack that was originally planned to be launched at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning was brought forward to 11 o'clock in the evening. Obviously something went wrong.But Feng Zicai didn't think too much about it. After all, as a soldier, it is his bounden duty to obey orders, not to mention that his immediate boss is his own son, so how can he harm his father?

"Tell the 4th Brigade and the 5th Brigade that the general attack will be changed to 11 o'clock tonight, so that the artillery battalion will be ready in advance." Feng Zicai immediately deployed after receiving the order.

"Yes."

A fortified battle is about to start. Since the attack has been going on for two days, we are very clear about several bright forts, dark forts and fire support points in Tokyo.What's more, this time Feng Zi brought large-caliber heavy artillery. Although the tenacious resistance of the people in the past two days made Tokyo still crumbling in his hands, he believed that it would not be long before his troops could eat in Tokyo.
