Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

"I think it's enough for Dong Liang's department to send two bidders." Zuo Zongtang thought for a while and said.

"Well, all right. Draft the decree, let Dong Liang personally take two bids to set off directly from Shandong. Land from Incheon Port and go straight to Seoul. Let the Nanyang Navy escort. I want the Japanese to see, our Qing army's Strength." Guan Xuqing stood up and said.

Shandong, military camp in the eastern suburbs of Qingdao.Teams of officers and soldiers on the playground are carrying [-] kilograms of things on their backs, and are carrying out a five-kilometer weight-bearing running training. After finally persevering, the officers and soldiers sat on the ground with their buttocks, panting heavily.

Inside the camp, a standard and several battalion commanders were drinking wine.

A battalion commander named Liu San wiped the oil from his mouth with his hands, and said in a blah voice: "Running every day, when is it a head? I have never seen us leading troops like this. The boys under me are all It’s a good opportunity to bluff with me. I’m suffocated, Biaotong. Do brothers in other places practice like this?”

The official under Dong Liang's department is called Fan Tianhao, and he is also Dong Liang's father's old subordinate.People from Shandong are very forthright.The relationship with the battalion commanders below is very good.

"You know what, what are you talking about? I practiced like this before. I didn't understand why the emperor asked us to practice like this. Yesterday, the foreign devil officer gave us a class and talked about the theory of the battle line. I just realized it. Let me tell you a little bit about it, if one man is used to deal with two enemies in a campaign, then Lao Tzu's one man is equal to two men. I was lucky enough to participate in the military parade in the capital a few days ago, and I met the emperor. The emperor said , the old man spent all his money on us. Tell me, can he let us practice in vain? I really admire him. He knows everything about foreigners. You have never been to a foreign school. Do you want to practice running?" Fan Tianhao said to Liu San.

"That's right, talking nonsense after drinking a few glasses of wine. If the emperor hears this, he must be mad at him." Another battalion commander, Li Wei, said.

"I'm just bored and flustered, and I'm complaining here. I don't know when I can have a fight with a foreigner and show this stupid air." Liu San said with a blushing face.

Fan Tianhao approached and said mysteriously: "To tell you the truth, the emperor's decree has come down. I want General Dong to take two bidders to North Korea. If my guess is right, General Dong will definitely wear me."

"Report... General Dong Liang's order: order Fan Tianhao's troops to pull out of the camp immediately and put on all equipment and weapons. The Qingdao dock must be assembled on standby. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!" A communications soldier rushed into the tent and shouted.

"See, everyone go back and pack up. Gather at the playground in a quarter of an hour." Fan Tianhao ordered.

The Lion Awakens Chapter 27 A Claw Test

It was already past eight o'clock in the evening when the two men assembled at the pier, and the two men leading the expedition were Fan Tianhao and Mao Weiming.They were all old subordinates of Dong Liang's father, and among Dong Liang's ten bidders, only these two bidders were his father's old subordinates.To some extent, it means to reuse them. If there is any good equipment and training, they will take care of the two bidders first.In order to show the emperor the powerful fighting power of his troops, he went to North Korea this time.He used up all his wealth.

The sea breeze was blowing unscrupulously in the night, and four behemoths were docked on the sea.Many officers and soldiers have never seen it, and they are talking about it.

"Hey, tell me. Is that thing a ship? Is it still holding a cannon, or is it a fort built on the sea??"

"Idiot, no wonder the emperor wants to teach you how to read. It's a gunboat. The imperial court bought it from the British. It's so fast that I, a fellow villager, work on it."

"Shall we go to North Korea on this ship?"

"Go ahead, dream, this is the escort. The emperor who escorted us to North Korea, the emperor spent so much money on us, he doesn't want us to have any trouble at sea, and he went to feed the fish before there was a war."

"Hey, are we the only ones worth guarding by these four big monsters? Our worth is different now."

"Who says no? I work here as a servant, and the salary I get can support my family of eleven."

Troop transport ships also arrived one after another, following Dong Liang's order.Each standard and each battalion boarded the ship separately, in an orderly manner, without any confusion.At first glance, it is a unit with good training and military qualities.

With a long cry, twenty troop carriers and four gunboats set sail.

Dong Liang stood at the bow of the boat, looking at Qingdao in the night.I was very moved in my heart, thinking about what the emperor said back then.Given the opportunity to avenge his father on the battlefield, now that there is civil strife in North Korea, the emperor is the first to think of himself.Among so many generals, Wu Ping's troops, who had previously stationed troops in North Korea, were even abandoned.I gave myself such a chance to make contributions.How can he not be moved by the gunboat escort of the Nanyang Navy who spent thousands of miles away?

"General, the two commanders have arrived." A soldier said.

"Understood." Dong Liang turned his head and walked into the cabin slowly.

"I pay my respects to the general." The two officers knelt on one knee and gave a standard military salute.

"Get up, sit down!" Dong Liang sat down in the middle of the game.

"General, didn't the imperial court only buy two ironclad ships. 'Yang Wei' and 'Chaoyong'! Why are there two more?" Mao Weiming asked.

"The other two ships were originally sold by the UK to Turkey, but they were sold to us for some unknown reason. What were they originally called Geerlai and Orion? Well, they are now renamed 'Long Victory' and 'Invincible'. Said that our emperor is omnipotent, and even foreign devils will submit to him when he sees it." Dong Liang said.

"Yes, the emperor is talented and intelligent. God bless me, I finally realized the painstaking efforts of the emperor to let us practice running." Fan Tianhao said.

"Don't talk nonsense to me. It's tight. The emperor attaches great importance to the civil strife in North Korea this time. North Korea is a vassal state of my Qing Dynasty. Now the civil strife is all caused by the Japanese. If the civil strife in North Korea succeeds, it will definitely It has become a vassal state of Japan. It is tantamount to robbing my Daqing son, if someone robs your son, what should you do?" Dong Liang said fiercely.

"Damn it, I cut his eggs. If my son can't give birth by himself, what's the point of stealing someone else's?" Fan Tianhao shouted.

"Now the two battalions of General Wu Ping's troops stationed in North Korea have lost contact with the imperial court. The situation ahead is unknown. After the army arrives at Incheon Port, the general wants to send a battalion of troops as the vanguard of the army. To pave the way for the army to advance, you guys Who wants to go?" Dong Liang said.

"Leave it to me, my brothers are going crazy. Guaranteed to pave the way for the army." Fan Tianhao shouted again.

While yelling, he gave Mao Weimin winks.It means give it to me this time, and let you be the pioneer next time.Seeing this, Mao Weimin could only laugh it off.

"Well, tell the brothers. If you encounter a large group of Japanese troops, don't love to fight. Retreat immediately. Their task is to find out the situation. It's not a decisive battle with the enemy." Dong Liang knew the temper of these people and fought when they saw a battle.Forgot all orders, the guy in hand is good, no matter how many people are on the other side.Dare to fight against each other.So quickly reminded.

"Yes, General."

Finally, the troop carrier landed at Incheon Port.Officers and soldiers assembled on the beach one after another, waiting for instructions. The four ships 'Yang Wei', 'Chaoyong', 'Changsheng' and 'Unbeaten' broke down one nautical mile from the port.Watch out in all four directions.

"Damn, where is Liu San, a bastard? Call him over quickly." Fan Tianhao yelled at his soldiers.

"twitter"

After a while, Liu San ran over. "Biaotong, are you looking for me?"

"Tell you, stinky boy. You are lucky. I boasted in front of the general. I just got a fat job from Lao Mao, which is cheap for you. Your battalion will be the vanguard of the army, clearing the way for the army. Give me the way Go to Seoul." Fan Tianhao said excitedly.

"Really? Thank you, General. Just look at it. If I let me meet the Japanese, everything will be cleaned up." Liu San said with bright eyes.

Fan Tianhao suddenly thought of Dong Liang's advice, so he said: "Now the situation ahead is unknown. According to the intelligence of the imperial court, Japan has already sent [-] more troops here. If you encounter a large number of Japanese troops, you must not be willing to fight. Once you find out the situation, you will withdraw." , if you encounter a small group of enemies, you have to give me a good face."

"Understood, shall we start now?" Liu San said impatiently.

"Wait, go gather your troops first, and General Dong will come and see you off in person," Fan Tianhao said.

After a while, a 500-man army lined up neatly at the front of the beach.Accompanied by several soldiers and Fan Tianhao, Dong Liang walked towards them slowly.

"The [-]th Battalion of the [-]th Biao of Dong Liang's Division has been assembled, please give instructions from the general." Liu San shouted.

"Brothers, raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a while. The emperor uses us now. It is our blessing and our duty. Now the Japanese have occupied North Korea and caused civil strife in them. Once a new government is established, it will no longer be I am a vassal of the Qing Dynasty. The emperor just said during the military parade in the suburbs of Beijing that our Qing Dynasty can’t beat others, so foreigners always want to occupy our land. Now foreigners are coming to snatch our son again. We have to use our hands Go ahead and answer the foreigners, we Daqing are not easy to bully." Dong Liang roared loudly.

"Tell the general, who is the strongest?" Liu San shouted beside him.

"I am the strongest." A burst of shouting overwhelmed the sound of the waves that had just lapped over.In front of this army, the waves seem so small.

"Okay, but now the situation ahead is unclear. In order to facilitate the army to enter Seoul smoothly. Your battalion will be the pioneer of the army. Now I issue the following military orders. [-]. Those who retreat before the battle, beheaded! Those who rape mob women, beheaded! Fourth, those who rob money, beheaded! Fifth, those who delay the military situation, beheaded! Do you understand?" Dong Liang said five beheadings in a row without even frowning.He knew not to tighten the reins now.Once this army of tigers and wolves were to run away, it would be difficult to know how much trouble it would cause.

"Take orders" Liu San knelt on one knee and said.

It was already dusk when Liu San set off with a battalion of troops.Night had just fallen, which happened to cover their whereabouts, but it also brought them inconvenience.It is impossible to quickly find out the truth and find out the situation.In case the enemy troops are not found, waiting for the army to enter the ambush will be a disaster.

So he also moved forward slowly, carefully, and little by little.

On the other hand, the Japanese have already received news that the Qing Dynasty has increased its troops to the court.But it is not known exactly how many people came. At this time, there were only more than 4000 troops stationed in Seoul.It was the Nakata Regiment of the Third Brigade of the First Far East Army of the Japanese Army, and the commander of the regiment was Koji Nakata.

After receiving the news that the Qing Dynasty had sent more troops to the DPRK, Koji Nakata immediately dispatched the most elite Takeda Brigade to search westward.If you encounter Qing troops, put pressure on them to let them know that Seoul cannot be approached.Or delay their time to enter Seoul, and give a fatal blow if necessary.

The Takeda Brigade, with a total of more than 800 people, went west after receiving the order to conduct a blanket search.Seeing that an encounter is about to be staged...

After two days of continuous searching, Takeda has left Seoul more than 300 kilometers away.It is hard to find the Qing soldiers, because it is not clear where the Qing soldiers landed from.Takeda didn't dare to penetrate too deep, it would be troublesome if he was cut off from his way back.So they found the village to garrison in place, and dispatched the second squadron to continue searching forward.
