Rebirth of the Northern Giants

"How, can the telegram have news from the Shandong front?" Guangxu asked again.

The little eunuch wiped the sweat from his forehead, and only scolded his mother in his heart. He glanced at another eunuch not far away, seeing that he didn't move, so he had no choice but to reply: "If the slave returns to the emperor, there is no battle report yet." They lined up in the palace to pass the news, which shows that Guangxu's mood is urgent.

Guangxu is now a powerful emperor, and his differences with Cixi are gradually increasing. Since the death of Prince Gong, he has asked the Military Aircraft Department several times to pass Kang Youwei's request for "establishing a system bureau".

What is the system bureau proposed by Kang Youwei?It is essentially a new government agency. The System Bureau bypasses the many existing bureaucratic agencies and starts a new one to form a system of its own. Not to mention that it will provoke resistance from the original vested interest groups. It's no wonder that there were no disturbances in the administrative team. Prince Gong put Kang Youwei's paper on hold for more than a month, and Guangxu was able to see this paper only after Prince Gong smiled proudly for nine days.

Guangxu was overjoyed, and immediately submitted the approval to the meeting of the ministers of the Prime Minister's Office. The Minister Wang of the Prime Minister's Office didn't even think about it. Ma Huizuo said that it could not be established. The opinions of the governors of various provinces, this is all right, some governors didn't even reply to the call, as if it was nothing.

Of course Guangxu understood that although the governors of these places were bold and reckless, they did not reply to their orders. These people did not have the support of Cixi behind them, and no one would believe them when they said it.

Guangxu hated and was afraid of Cixi's own father. Guangxu once suspected that his biological father was poisoned to death by Cixi, which was vaguely mentioned in his dialogue with Weng Tongsu.

Now that he is weak and weak, if he wants to fight Cixi, he needs to find more helpers. From Kang Youwei's words and Ye Zhikui's daily actions, Guangxu believes that Ye Zhikui is an imperial party and can be relied on. Once Ye Zhikui wins and returns to the court, he will have many reforms He has hired a powerful person who actively supports the war against Germany, so he very much hopes that Ye Zhikui can defeat the German army and return to the court as soon as possible, so the child's anxious mood can be forgiven.

Shandong Yuan Shikai camp.

After Yuan Shikai entered Shandong to encircle and suppress the Boxers, he used bloody methods and showed no mercy to the Boxers. He killed the Boxers so much that blood flowed into rivers, and he was nicknamed Yuan Yuandan.

Only after the battle did he realize that it wasn't his old Yuan Xinjun who was too weak, but Ye Zhikui's Wu Yi army was too strong. After being oppressed by Ye Zhikui for a long time, he finally found a sliver of confidence in Shandong farmers.

When he learned that Wu Yi's army and the German army were engaged in a decisive battle in Qingdao, he had mixed feelings. On the one hand, as a Chinese, he certainly hoped that the Qing Dynasty would win. On the other hand, he did not want Wu Yi's army to win easily. It would be best for Ye Zhikui to die in battle On the battlefield, everything will be fine.

Yuan Shikai was tangled in his room, waiting for the outcome of the decisive battle between China and Germany, but a close aide came to report: "Yuan Shuai, a big brother from the Boxer Regiment came outside."

Yuan Shikai was stunned for a moment, then his eyes turned cold, and he said, "What? Someone came to die by himself? Call him in and see what he has to say."

The big brother of the Boxers soon strode in with his head held high, and as soon as he entered the gate, he squinted at Yuan Shikai and said, "Are you Yuan Gongbao?"

Yuan Shikai's complexion changed, but fortunately he was quite deep in the city, so he didn't speak, the sergeant next to him shouted: "Bold, why don't you kneel down when you see my commander in chief?"

The elder brother looked into the air, took out two court arrows from his arms in a calm manner, and said in a haughty tone: "Everyone, open your eyes and look carefully, these are the arrows of the order of King Duanjun and King Zhuang. I order you to appease our Boxers and allow me to set up an altar in Shandong to continue practicing."

The generals took a closer look, and found that the prince's command arrow was indeed true, and they were silent for a while, caring for each other without words.

The eldest brother's tone of voice became more and more arrogant, and he didn't take Yuan Shikai seriously at all. If he was really asked to set up an altar to recruit disciples, then it would be Yuan who turned against him.

Xiao Yuan is not a soft-hearted character, his face darkened slightly, and he shouted angrily: "The lunatic who came from there dared to steal the prince's command arrow, come here, drag it down and behead it."

After Yuan Shikai finished speaking, all the generals around came to their senses, exchanged winks, and said to each other, "Well, you bastard, you have a lot of guts, and you dare to steal the prince's command arrow."

"Stealing the prince's command arrow is a death penalty."

The two sergeants seized the opportunity to escort the elder brother, and they were about to push out to behead him. Seeing that the situation was not good, the elder brother repeatedly shouted: "I didn't steal it, the prince personally handed it over to me."

The sergeant was still waiting for him to decompose, and he cut off his head in a short time. Yuan Shikai ordered someone to send back the command arrow to the two princes. Just small farmers.

However, I don't know when, rumors spread everywhere in the palace. They all said that Yuan Shikai held the military power, and he didn't see the prince at all, and the prince's people would be killed as soon as they said, so in the future, even the prince would be killed if he said so.After hearing the rumor, Zai Yi and Zai Xun hated Yuan Shikai regardless of whether it was true or not.

Back to the Qingdao battlefield, Ye Zhikui saw Duan Qirui's troops breaking through the German positions, and the two sides were entangled in a tug-of-war.

Ye Zhikui suddenly sighed and said: "It's a pity that Wu Dashan didn't go with the commander, otherwise why worry about the uncertainties at this time when the cavalry is overwhelmed."

Wu Dashan was a fierce general, Ye Zhikui didn't want to use Wu Dashan's fierceness to deal with elite troops like the German army, so he stayed in Tianjin.

After Ye Zhikui finished speaking, there was a commotion among the generals under him. Cao Kun took a step forward and said, "I don't dare to agree with Ye Shuai's words. Although Wu Tong is brave, the other soldiers of our Wu Yi Army are not cowards. I also ask Ye Shuai to order you to let us go." I, Cao Kun, led the cavalry to press."

Ye Zhikui glanced at him, and said unhurriedly, "Well, that's the only way to go."

Cao Kun listened to the order, without saying a word, with a sigh of relief in his heart, after returning to the cavalry, he shouted to the five hundred cavalry soldiers under him: "Today, I, Cao, boasted in front of Ye Shuai, saying that Wu Yijun is not a coward. Taking you now is to defeat the German army. If anyone is timid and afraid of death, and dare not go forward, not only will I lose face, Cao Kun, but also make you a coward, tell me loudly, are you cowards?"

Cao Kun's soldiers roared in unison: "No!"

"Okay, all brothers follow me Cao Kun to defeat the enemy. If anyone dares to retreat, give him a gun. Whoever sees my old Cao retreating will also shoot me with a gun. Immediately, hit and win."

"Must Win"

The soldiers of the [-]-horse team were so excited that they screamed, shouted the slogan of victory, and marched forward bravely. The sound of horseshoes shook the ground and trembled. Even though he's old, he's quite effective against reckless people like Cao Kun."

Ye Zhikui put away his smiling face and said embarrassingly, "I made uncle, you old fox, laugh."

Nie Shicheng pretended he didn't hear it, and said instead: "You Wu Yi army is fighting on the front line, and the old man Shandong army can't watch the fun from behind. Although the armor is not good, it is more than enough for chasing the enemy."

Nie Shicheng turned around and gave orders to the generals in Shandong: "Everyone, the generals of the Wu Yi Army are eating meat in front, we can't even take a sip of soup, I don't care what your casualties are now, if you dare to take a step back in this battle, I will definitely not kill you!" Forgive me."

The generals of the Shandong armies all bowed their heads, seeing that Nie Shicheng was so angry that he didn't seem to be joking, and they no longer took any chances.

Qingdao German Army Command, the atmosphere is heavy.

German fleet commander Dietrich looked at An Meng, and An Meng looked at Second Lieutenant Philip who had just come down from the front line.

Philip got short and felt uncomfortable all over, so he had to say aloud: "Sirs, it's not that the soldiers of the empire are not brave enough, but that the Qing people are equipped with a lot of advanced weapons. Hydrogen balloons can easily bomb my fort positions. The grenadiers eliminated by our European countries are also quite powerful, and the Qing people don’t care about the cost of casualties. Even if they die, they still have to pull an imperial soldier to back them up. We are small, and we really can’t resist. The fort will fall. Commanders, please prepare to surrender."

An Meng snorted coldly: "Second Lieutenant, you actually want the German Empire to surrender to the Qing people. I would rather fight to the death if we still have the small town of Qingdao to defend."

Today's Qingdao is not as good as later generations, it is still a small town with only fifty or sixty shops, plus private houses, etc., you can stick to it for a while, but what about after that?Dietrich couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

"Captain, since the day the Qing people dared to resist, we have already lost. We lost not because our soldiers were not brave enough, but because of the awakening of the national spirit of the Qing people. It is meaningless to continue the war. Why bother sacrificing the lives of innocent soldiers and sending people to inform the Qing people, saying that I, Dietrich, is willing to surrender, but it is not the surrender of the German Empire, but my personal surrender, which has nothing to do with the empire.” Dietrich finally let go of his heart Obsession, as if ten years older.

An Meng stepped forward and said, "General"

Dietrich waved his hand and said, "Captain, don't say much, unless you can defeat 400 people with 8000 people, it's not too late to persuade me."

An Meng took a step back and didn't speak anymore. Seeing this, Philip knew what he was doing, and sent out surrender personnel to Wu Yi's army.

At this time, Cao Kun rode on a horse and rushed to the Qingdao Fortress of the German Army. The cannon had been blown up and scattered all over the place. One target, I found the German artillery unit. Seeing this, the German artillery pushed up their cannons and fled. These cannons are no different from the cannons fixed on the fort. The enemy fled, but the German army also lost artillery support, and the situation was even more worrisome.

Cao Kun picked up the big knife, pointed it at the German soldiers, and cut off a big good head, the brains were sprayed, Cao Kun wiped the blood on his face, laughed and said: "Happy, happy, today I am also riding on the head of a foreigner." gone."

The infantrymen of Wu Yi's army were frightened, and the cavalry troops abandoned their guns and used knives directly.

Although the German soldiers were brave, they were also afraid of death. Seeing that the enemy was ten times stronger than themselves, it would be futile to resist any more, so they began to surrender one after another. People must learn the two German words of "Pay your guns and hold your head." Therefore, on the battlefield, every soldier yelled in Chinese-style German.

Not long after, Ye Zhikui and Nie Shicheng received a request from the German army to surrender. Ye Zhikui didn't care who Dietlich represented, as long as you surrendered, he readily agreed.

All ministries are fighting vigorously and happily on the battlefield. When they first heard the news of the surrender of the German army, they were taken aback. Is this victory?This is the end?

Then there was a burst of excitement. We actually defeated Germany, which is known as the number one army in the world. The yellow race fought against the white race, and once forced the white race to surrender. , The soldiers who were not killed in battle couldn't help but start to cheer.

The shouts of "Wu Yi's mighty army" gradually merged into a river, piercing the sky, and even the Shandong armies were affected by this, and joined in, shouting Wu Yi's mighty army. At this moment, victory belongs to the whole of China.

Volume 93 Fengyun of the Capital Chapter [-] Is this a uniform?

On April 4, at the gate of the Yamen of the General Army of Qingdao.

At [-]:[-], there was loud music, and Admiral Ye Zhikui of Zhili, Governor Nie Shicheng of Shandong, Admiral Deng Shichang of the Navy, and generals of the Qing Dynasty who were watching the ceremony all began to line up at the prescribed positions.

The reporters had already been waiting for a long time, and when they saw the generals of the Qing Dynasty coming, they were very busy, and the sound of clicking, clicking could be heard endlessly. Ye Zhikui and others did not invite representatives of other countries to watch the surrender ceremony in order to take care of Germany's face, but for those After hearing the news, uninvited reporters and local gentry in Jiaozhou can't control so much, but they still need these people to promote.
