This kind of loss was something Guan Xuqing had never suffered since he ascended the throne. He didn't even dare to listen anymore, for he was afraid of hearing the news of the death of some lonely minister again.

With tears in his eyes, he knelt down in front of Prince Chun.He kowtowed three times respectfully, turned around and said to Peng Yulin, "Escort Li Hongzhang to Beijing, end the negotiations with Japan, and tell Feng Xianghua to break through Tokyo within three days. I want the blood of everyone in Tokyo to pay for my Prince Qingchun, Gong The prince, Zuo Zongtang, and Weng Tongsu were buried!"

"twitter."

"The army wears Xiao Xiao to go out, and let all the Japanese bury the two princes, Mr. 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 in various parts of Japan suddenly launched an attack on Japan, which caught the Japanese army, which was still hastily gathered and prepared for war, by surprise.Multiple 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.What they need is to completely destroy the Japanese fleet!

"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, not to mention being assassinated by my big Japan. Of course, we have to pretend to attack our Japan. As long as we block their attack, then it will be their turn. Time is the time for us 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 Japanese ambassador, he waited for a few days and did not see Hirobumi Ito.Feeling that something was wrong, sure enough, on the fourth day after the Japanese 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 were full of how Japan surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and how it showed 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 the Japanese 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 Japanese 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 that the Japanese just want to delay the time through negotiations. I don't believe that the Japanese have the sincerity of the peace talks. Let you make harsh demands here and let them express their stance as soon as possible. To show that the great power of the Celestial Dynasty gave Japan a reformation Opportunity." 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 assassins into the palace, but the Japanese slipped away from you right under your nose Do not know at all?"

"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: "This time the Japanese assassins did not succeed in the assassination, do you know why? Because my Ama, who is Li Hongzhang's colleague in the military aircraft department Blocked a fatal knife. This time, my Qing Dynasty not only lost an imperial teacher like Weng Tongsu, but also Zuo Zongtang, who has 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.

"Your majesty..." Li Hongzhang never imagined that the emperor would let him live if he made 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, this old minister will stay with the Emperor as a cow and horse, Your Majesty, this 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 what's going on on the front line?" Guan Xuqing's heart had already flown to Japan. He didn't know how Japan's defense had been adjusted during the negotiations, and whether the front attack was going well.

"Your Majesty, the two divisions led by Lu Yiwei have already detoured to the rear of Kanazawa, flanking the attacking troops front and back, 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 frowned and said.

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

"Yan Fu called. The Japanese Navy seems to have evaporated. It is not in the Hokkaido military port. All the warships have left the port, but they are missing."

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 was right in guessing that the Japanese mistakenly believed that the reason why the Qing army Dai Xiao went out was 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 Japan for the front-line 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 allowed the Japanese to take such a big advantage.

"The Japanese beasts, tell Feng Xianghua that their supplies have already been sent to the sea by the Japanese to feed the fish. Their food will not be delivered in a short period of time. Let them find their own way. If they can't take Tokyo, they will starve to death. Attack. Go to Tokyo so that soldiers can be exempted from military discipline for three 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 of ​​Japan and the Pacific Ocean. The Japanese fleet must be choked to death in the East China Sea! You cannot send a single Japanese warship back." Guan Xuqing said angrily.

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

Tokyo Suburbs

"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, Feng Zi brought the large-caliber heavy artillery this time. Although the tenacious resistance of the Japanese two days ago made Tokyo still crumbling in the hands of the Japanese, he believed that it would not be long before his troops could eat in Tokyo.

There is a mountain called Mount Fuji outside the city of Tokyo. Looking down from the top of the mountain, you can have a panoramic view of Tokyo.If the heavy artillery brought by Feng Zicai is placed on the top of the mountain, then Tokyo will be at your fingertips.
