Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 771

"Tell me, what is the fourth?" Guan Xuqing's expression softened, and he urged Zhang Zuolin to speak quickly.

"Yes. Fourth, I have already met the princess Ma Yisha. To be honest, the princess is young and beautiful, and the emperor is young and prosperous. If they can be combined, it is really true." Zhang Zuolin's culture is not high, and the court The prelude is unavoidably a little nervous, but the following word is hard to deal with.

Feng Xianghua smiled and said, "It's really a natural couple, Yu Ting, do you want to talk about this?"

Zhang Zuolin nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, yes, I don't quite understand the words, anyway, I just think it's appropriate."

One sentence made everyone present burst into laughter, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly relaxed a lot.

Guan Xuqing thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yuting makes sense, since that's the case, then I agree."

Zhang Zuolin was overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed and said: "The matter is urgent, so I didn't have time to ask the emperor for instructions, and I also wholeheartedly hope that this matter will be completed. If it is completed, it will be of great benefit to the empire, but I have wronged the emperor. Please punish the emperor. "

Guan Xuqing really couldn't laugh or cry, she pointed at Zhang Zuolin with a smile and said, "Yuting, Yuting, you are obviously being a good boy, knowing that I will not only punish you, but also reward you, and you come to plead guilty. Besides, The princess is very young, and I have already reached middle age, and I am talking about the peak of youth, I am afraid that it is not I who have been wronged, but Princess Maisha."

Zhang Zuolin said solemnly: "Your Majesty, there is absolutely no such thing. Princess Mayisa has long admired you. When she was in Delhi, she once said that as long as the Emperor is willing to marry her, she will have nothing to say."

Everyone laughed again.

Guan Xuqing raised his hand and said: "Okay, since you have arranged the front and back, I can only agree."

"However," Zhang Zuolin said with a perplexed look, "But King Mahmud still doesn't feel at ease. He hopes that the emperor can personally write a letter of appointment and send it to him, so that this matter can be completed as soon as possible."

Guan Xuqing said without hesitation: "It's natural. No one will easily believe such a big matter just based on your red mouth and white teeth. We Chinese pay attention to the word of faith when we do things, and we can't let them go for a long time." Wait, I will write a letter of appointment and send it to Kabul as soon as possible. The rest will be arranged by you. On the day of marriage, I will go to Kabul in person to meet my future father-in-law. As for Feng Yuxiang, don’t tell him about it yet. If he remains confused for a while, it will be my punishment for his unfavorable use of troops. This will kill the spirit of the Afghans first, and make them fear the empire forever from now on."

"Long live my emperor!"

"It's all exhausting."

"twitter."

Afghanistan, Kabul Northern Defense Line.

Feng Yuxiang is still kept in the dark, and the war is still going on.Under the cover of tens of thousands of Afghan civilians, the Dragon Army finally captured the positions in the northern part of Kabul before night fell. Counting the civilians who were killed and injured and the soldiers of both sides, only in the northern defense line of Kabul, in just one week, there were casualties. More than 20 people were killed, of course, this does not include those buried or bombed corpses.

The way Long Jun dealt with these corpses was to search them for useful things including military uniforms, put them on the front line, and then cover the corpses with soil for use as fortifications. After all, there were not many sandbags, so that after the war people found The entire defense line in the northern part of Kabul turned out to be an out-and-out wall of flesh and blood!
"Have you confirmed the location?" Song Zheyuan urged in the communication room. What he wanted to search was the frequency of the walkie-talkie placed in King Mahmud's hideout. Now his time was limited, because at this moment King Mahmud was at that location. It doesn't mean that it will still be there in the next moment, any delay may ruin his entire plan.Although Feng Yuxiang did not comment on his plan, he still wanted to take a risk. As long as Mahmud was successfully killed, Kabul would be at his fingertips.

"Sir, the location of the station is awaiting reports from at least two points. We are now awaiting a report from the other point."

"When can I arrive?"

"I don't know, I'm afraid we have to wait a little longer."

"It's here! It's here! Sir, the location of the signal you're tracking is here!" The communications soldier marked the coordinates of the radio station on the map with a pen very excitedly.

"Take the artillery position!"

"Artillery position? I'm Song Zheyuan, listen to me, gather all the artillery in your hands that can reach the marked area of ​​No. 5, and blow it to me within [-] minutes!" Song Zheyuan decided without thinking He gave orders to the artillery positions.

Kabul is not a capital city with complete facilities, so the number of air-raid shelters is very limited. Most of the large number of underground shelters are temporary products with poor equipment and functions. Therefore, most of the time, Prince Mahmud I still prefer to be on the ground and find a stronger building as a command post. How could the cannons outside the city hit my hideout so easily at night, so when Song Zheyuan gave the order to bombard, King Mahmud was still fighting Thinking about the giant map of Afghanistan on the wall.

Why did that Miss Jin Bihui not abate the artillery fire outside the city after expressing her wish for the marriage between the two countries?Did Feng Yuxiang dare to disobey the order of the Chinese emperor?Or is there another reason?He was holding a letter of engagement written by His Majesty the Emperor of China himself, and he was in a state of shock and uncertainty. The sound of gunfire outside the city made him faintly feel a wave of fear that was about to rain!

"Father, are you looking for me?" Ma Yisha walked into the hideout, looked at her father's old back, and felt a little indescribably bitter.

"Come on, child." Ma Yisa walked to her father, and Mahmud held her daughter's hand tightly and said, "I think something is wrong, but the letter of appointment from the Chinese emperor has arrived. For safety reasons, I have decided to pass on the throne to you."

Ma Yisha was stunned. In just a few days, her cousin, the former King Zahir passed away, and now her father passed the throne to herself. All this happened so suddenly that she was not prepared for it at all. You must know that Mayisa is still a child. She never thought that one day she would become the king of Afghanistan. She just wants to live happily every day. "No, father, you are A competent king is also the hope of all the Afghan people, I don’t understand anything, how can I take on such a heavy responsibility, I will never agree.”

Mahmud guessed that his daughter would have such a reaction, he gently held her hair, let her sit down, and said slowly: "Son, you are about to become the wife of the emperor of China, and you are the only one who will be the king of Afghanistan and the emperor of China." Only then can I rest assured that you are the hope of the Afghan people. This kind of burden is a bit heavy for you, but you have to bear it. For your father and the Kingdom of Afghanistan, I only have one wish, that is, the king of Afghanistan must leave with Afghan blood."

Ma Yisha was surprised at first, and tears slowly overflowed from her eyes. She stared blankly at her father, unable to speak for a long time.

"Listen to my order and get ready." Song Zheyuan was about to issue an order to bombard Mamood into the microphone, and at this critical moment, a thunderous voice came from behind, "Song Zheyuan! You boy will not be able to rebel!"

Song Zheyuan shivered violently, turned around and saw Feng Yuxiang was wearing a gray woolen cloak, standing at the door aggressively, staring at him fiercely, his right hand was tightly holding the handle of the command saber!
"Commander I"

"Without my order, who told you to act rashly, if something serious happens, none of us can get away with it!"

Song Zheyuan boldly said: "Commander-in-Chief, I think that if King Mahmud is killed, Afghanistan will have no leader, and we can take Kabul without any difficulty."

"Fart! You are good at everything, but you like to be smart. If Mahmud is dead, there will be a second person to inherit the throne. Can you kill it? Cancel the attack order immediately, hurry up!"

Song Zheyuan didn't dare to disobey, and hurriedly said into the microphone: "Attention all gun positions, the attack order is cancelled! The attack order is cancelled!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Feng Yuxiang and said, "Commander-in-Chief, this is not acceptable, nor is that acceptable. You should pay attention to how Kabul is going to be fought."

Feng Yuxiang let out a long breath, bowed his head and was speechless for a while.

In the early morning of September 9th, London, England.

"Your Excellency, according to information from the intelligence agency, the [-] Dragon Army stationed in India disappeared last night. It is estimated that they may have entered Afghanistan." Minister of War Eden was addressing Churchill who had just woken up. report.

"The Chinese really want to invade Afghanistan on a large scale? Has China reacted?" Although he was dissatisfied with his subordinates waking him up in the middle of the night, Churchill did not lose his judgment. He lit his pipe and said.

"There is no news from China yet, but our intelligence personnel believe that there is at least [-]% certainty that the second wave of Dragon Army troops has entered Afghanistan and has launched a battle against one of the cities. Of course, from the surface intelligence It seems that the Chinese should be targeting the Afghan army, but the possibility of the Chinese using this war to attack the British army cannot be ruled out."

"It's time to come. Regarding the current situation, what do you think, is our British Empire going to respond?"

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, to be honest, I am not a military expert, but judging from the current situation, we should make a certain response, otherwise, the British influence in that region will inevitably be weakened."

"It seems that we didn't pay enough attention to the strategic position of Afghanistan. Afghanistan itself is a buffer zone between us and the Chinese. We don't have many elite troops stationed there. The equipment of the only elite armored division was transferred to the In the Middle East, I won’t be allowed to use infantry units to compete with Chinese armored units, right?” Churchill was telling the truth, because the defense pressure in this area was not very high, so Britain did not deploy a field corps with strong combat effectiveness. Most of the deployments are only second-line border troops. Once the troops to Afghanistan are frustrated, it will be a problem to raise follow-up military support in a short period of time.
