Super Dictator

Wei Jichen happily thought about buying a few cannons here, but he didn't know that an undercurrent started to flow towards him.

In Ximu City, the commander of the 5th Brigade of the 3rd Division forced Shang Min to put down the telegram in his hand. The heavy heart he had felt for many days finally lightened a lot.

After the news came that Wei Jichen had annihilated most of the 3rd Division, the biggest shock was in Ximu City. The Japanese troops in the city were in panic all day long, for fear that Wei Jichen would lead his troops to attack.

In those days, Osako Naotoshi lived like a year, constantly asking for tactical guidance from the commander of the 1st Army, Nozu Michizuki. Nozu Michonuki is also considering whether to withdraw troops from Ximu City.

Fortunately, it was not long before Wei Jichen turned around and his army went south to attack Gaiping. The relieved Shang Min was about to reorganize his troops, but he received news: Li Guangjiu's 5th Battalion of the Old Hunan Army, Wei Guangtao's Wuwei Army 6th Battalion, the army is pressing towards Ximu City, ready to take advantage.

Although there were only 2,000 people on his side and 5,000 or 6,000 on the enemy side, Shang Min was not afraid of the situation. As long as Wei Jichen did not lead the army to attack, he would be confident to defend the city.

The secret message from the base camp arrived in time, asking him to defend Ximu City. After killing as much as possible the attacking Hunan army, he contacted Li Yunfei in Haicheng and expressed his willingness to withdraw from Ximu City and hand Ximu City into his hands.

Kawakami Caoliu began to drive a wedge between Wei Zijun and the Hunan Army.

Others couldn't capture the city despite their desperate efforts, but Li Yunfei only had to send people to take it over. No matter who it was, he would feel resentful in his heart.

At the same time, the commander of the 1st Division in Jinzhou, Yamaji Genji, also received a secret message from the base camp, asking him to spread the news: he was willing to have a truce with Wei Jichen's Wei Zijun, and through negotiations, several surrounding people could be brought together. A small city was handed over to him.

Kawakami's last move, and the most vicious one, was to use spies in China to buy some newspapers in China and start advocating for Wei Jichen.

At this time, most of the newspapers in China were still run by foreigners. They heard that someone was funding their newspaper, and they just wanted to publish a few articles praising Wei Jichen. What was the difficulty?

Some Chinese newspapers that didn't know why they saw the article praising Wei Jichen didn't think much about it and were ready to publish it.

If Wei Jichen knew about this, he would definitely shout: "This is just fucking flattery."

Of course, there are also smart people among them.

For example, Lin Zhixing, the person in charge of the Beijing branch of the "Global Gazette", has become a die-hard fan of Wei Jichen. Ever since he learned that Wei Jichen not only did not die, but instead joined the Japanese to reverse the situation in Liaodong in one battle.

It was as if he had found a lighthouse on the dark sea. If he were a woman, he would probably fall in love with Wei Jichen right away.

Lin Zhixing has collected all the deeds of Wei Jichen, big and small, and is even planning to send people to Tianjin to visit Wei Jichen's hometown of Jinghai, interview Wei Jichen's relatives, and then write an article about Wei Jichen's experience before he became famous.

On this day, Lin Zhixing picked up the newspaper issued by the headquarters that Qian Jiazhi had just delivered. The entire main page was about Wei Jichen. Lin Zhixing couldn't help but read it carefully with joy.

This article first detailed the results of Wei Jichen's previous battles. This was nothing. Lin Zhixing read it with great interest. Unexpectedly, someone actually counted how many Japanese soldiers Wei Jichen annihilated in each battle, and even the small Japanese officers among them. Clearly.

Lin Zhixing sighed in admiration and continued reading.

At this moment, his face changed a little. This was a bit too much praise. Lin Zhixing saw this sentence: Wei Jichen was the most outstanding general of the Han people since the founding of the Qing Dynasty. Wei Jichen used his troops like a god, hitting more with less, and his sergeant They all respect and worship him and are willing to die for him.

The following also describes how the sergeants of Wei Zijun were brave and willing to die for him: In the Battle of Yushubao, Wei Jichen's more than 2,000 Wei Zijun were besieged by more than 6,000 Japanese. Even the Japanese general Shanxian Youpeng believed that Wei Jichen was doomed, but However, Wei Zijun broke out with the greatest bloodshed since the beginning of the war.

Sometimes the rear camp officer Cheng Bushi fought bravely and shouted loudly before his death: General Wei treated us like brothers. Now that General Wei is in danger, how can we not repay this kindness and use our own lives to take General Wei's life? . For a time, the morale of the soldiers in the rear camp was greatly boosted, and everyone sacrificed their lives, just to repay the kindness of General Wei for his knowledge, promotion, and care. In the end, they repelled dozens of Japanese pursuits and made great contributions to the army's breakout.

During the same battle, the sentry officer Zhao Hu also shouted, "Soldiers who know their own conscience will die" and led more than a hundred sergeants to rush into the Japanese positions, and finally broke through the Japanese defense lines, allowing the Wei Zijun to retreat calmly.

Wow, there are so many heroes in China. Wei Jichen is resourceful, brave and good at fighting. He loves his soldiers like a son. Of course he can win consecutive battles.

Is it possible that today's DPRK can compare with General Wei?

Children in Liaodong all know that there are three tigers under General Wei. One is the white-faced tiger Li Yunfei, the second is the black-faced tiger Zhang Meng, and the third is the red-faced tiger Zhao Hu.

General Wei has a cloud of good generals and fierce generals like rain. Why worry that China cannot withstand the Japanese attack? Why worry that China cannot defeat Japan? Why worry that China cannot catch up with the great powers and rise again.

One word suddenly came to Lin Zhixing's mind - great achievements shake the master.

"Jia Zhi, when was this newspaper published?" Lin Zhixing called to Qian Jiazhi who was walking out and asked urgently.

Qian Jiazhi turned around and replied with a smile: "Editor Lin, this is the newspaper published by the headquarters this morning. I guess it has started to be sold on the streets now. What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

After hearing this, Lin Zhixing sat slumped on the chair and murmured to himself: "What should I do? General Wei did not die at the hands of the Japanese, how could he be destroyed by his own people?"

Lin Zhixing didn't know that the newspapers published in the "Global Gazette" were really insignificant compared to those published in other newspapers.

"Shen Shen" was jointly founded by British businessman Mecha and his friends in Shanghai in 1872. It is also a very influential newspaper in China.

On this day, "Shenbao" published an article written by the British military strategist Wallace. The article began by praising Wei Jichen as the most outstanding general in the Far East. He deceived everyone in the world with one trick, and secured two victories. Having laid the foundation, Wallace highly praised Wei Jichen's theory of protracted war, believing that Wei Jichen was not only an outstanding general, but also a rare strategic master and a powerful politician. Otherwise, The war between China and Japan will never be analyzed so thoroughly based on the economic, political, and military strength of the two countries.

Wallace said that he was deeply impressed by the talent of this famous Far East general and was willing to act as a middleman to make a request for mediation to the British government, hoping to end the Sino-Japanese war as soon as possible and save the people of the Far East from the flames of war.

Subsequently, newspapers run by Americans and Germans in China both published articles written by celebrities from their own countries specifically for Wei Jichen. They were all based on facts, and then they vigorously promoted Wei Jichen and claimed how much they admired him. .

These newspapers worked at the same time, and suddenly they praised Wei Jichen as a famous general in the Far East, the first general in the Far East, the most powerful strategist in the history of the Far East, and the most promising Chinese in the West.

As if overnight, Wei Jichen became a world celebrity, but this Wallace, Dreiser, etc., no one wanted to find out whether he was British or German.

A newspaper run by a foreigner and an article signed by a foreigner, can this still be fake?

The Chinese people have been oppressed by foreigners for a long time, and they hate and fear foreigners, with a little bit of admiration for foreigners. Now, as soon as they heard that even these foreigners bowed to Wei Jichen's talent, the whole of China suddenly It started to boil.

After reading the newspaper, countless ordinary people who didn't understand the reason gave a thumbs up and said that General Wei was great. Wei Jichen's reputation spread all over the land of China, causing countless people to admire him.

When the news came back that Wei Jichen led his troops to take back Gaiping, this phenomenon was further fueled. Some common people with relatives in Liaodong actually set off firecrackers at the door to celebrate Wei Jichen's regaining the lost territory. This was criticized by foreign newspapers. Affected by this, scholars from all over the country also regarded Wei Jichen as the great savior of Liaodong. They believed that only Wei Jichen had the ability to turn things around in Liaodong. Therefore, they wrote to the provincial governors and even the central government departments, requesting that Wei Jichen be promoted to an official position and let him command various departments. Lu Dajun fought in Liaodong.

The scholars' wishes were good, but their requests were very childish. They didn't know that they and others had already gotten into huge trouble for Wei Jichen.

In the palace of Prince Rui in the capital, Zaiyi half-squinted his eyes and lay on a recliner with a comfortable expression on his face. Surrounded by several beautiful maids, they squeezed his back and beat his legs, and from time to time they put a snack into his mouth.

Zaiyi lived a life like a fairy, but he didn't have much power in his hands, which made him feel that his life was not fulfilling.

"Beauty, give me a smile." Zaiyi lazily opened his eyes, stretched out his hand, gently touched the beauty's towering breasts and put the snack in his mouth, saying with a lewd smile.

"My lord, I'm not coming. You're teasing my little maid again." The beautiful maid nudged Prince Rui with her breasts and said coquettishly. The expression on her face showed a look of reluctance, and she clearly wanted to refuse. shy look.

Zaiyi's index finger twitched when she saw it, and she slowly put her hands into the maid's clothes, and said with a smile: "It seems that you were not punished enough by me last night for such a prodigal."

The other beauties all looked envious, and their bodies quietly gathered around her.

"I'm just afraid that Master won't punish me." The beautiful maid who was touched looked at Zaiyi with watery peach blossom eyes and said with a sweet voice.

Zaiyi was about to get horny and attack with a gun, when a servant outside the door shouted that someone wanted to see him.

Zaiyi's good deeds were interrupted, and she couldn't vent the anger in her heart. She scolded him in a bad tone: "You dog slave, didn't you see that this prince is busy?"

The servant outside the door quickly reported flatteringly: "Your Majesty, the person who asked to see you brought a small gift, so the servant dared to disturb your interest."

Although the servant's words were very obscure, Zaiyi would not be able to hear them. He must have brought a lot of money to ask for an audience, otherwise the servant would not dare to offend him.

Thinking of this, Zaiyi felt much better. She straightened her clothes a little, coughed twice and said, "Let him in."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The servant came down hurriedly.

Zaiyi sat upright with a serious face, and several maids stood behind him pretending to be serious. This Zaiyi will also be a good official in future generations, because he is the same inside and out, and he is so good at pretending.

After a while, a bannerman wearing a long robe and a mandarin jacket came in with his head bowed and stooped, led by his servants.

"Your Majesty, my slave Yin Jiu, you have to make the decision for our banner people." As soon as Yin Jiu saw Zai Yi, he knocked his head on the ground and shouted loudly with tears in his eyes. His sad look really made him feel sad. Weeping.

The servant took the opportunity to walk to Zai Yi, took out some silver coins from his arms, and handed them to him quietly.

Zaiyi took a sneak peek and saw that there were tens of thousands of taels.

At this time, he transformed into the appearance of a black baker and asked seriously: "You are actually our bannerman. What grievances do you have for asking to see my king?"

"My lord, my servant is the distant cousin of General Feng Sheng Afeng. My son serves under General Feng. With General Feng's expeditions in the north and south, he has made a lot of contributions. Who would have thought that bad news came not long ago that my servant My son did not die in the hands of the enemy, but he was killed by Wei Jichen for any reason. The poor boy was only in his twenties and had not yet married and had children. I am afraid that I will be extinct as a slave. "That bannerman Yin Shi. Jiu wiped away her tears while narrating in great sorrow.

It turned out that it was about Wei Jichen. Zaiyi thought secretly in his heart, and asked curiously: "Since you are Feng Sheng'a's cousin, didn't Feng Sheng'a make the decision for you?"

Zaiyi never cared about frontline affairs, so he was not very clear about Feng Sheng'a's death as a sperm donor for the country.

Yin Shijiu was even more sad after hearing this, and said with tears streaming down his face: "I originally thought so too, but I didn't expect that General Feng would die inexplicably afterwards. I no longer have anyone to make the decision. I heard that you, Your Majesty, He has always been a generous man and always liked to fight against injustices. He was the savior of the helpless bannermen like the servants. The servant had the courage to come to ask for help from the prince. Prince, please be sure to make the decision for the servant. Wei Jichen has no laws and is ruthless. "At that time, I was just a small general who dared not take our banner men seriously. It will be fine when I have more wings."

Zaiyi accepted the money and heard the banner man speak so sadly. He aroused some anger in his heart. Yes, Wei Jichen is just a slave of our Manchu people. How dare he act so boldly and indiscriminately? Killing our bannermen at random is really despicable.

"Don't worry, I will go to the palace to report this matter to the Queen Mother. You must let the Queen Mother make the decision for you. Just go back and wait for the news." Zaiyi said with a gloomy face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty." Yin Jiu kowtowed several times before slowly retreating.

After walking out of Prince Rui's Mansion, Yin Jiu touched a stack of banknotes in his arms and couldn't help but smile. There was still the miserable look just now. His identity was real, and the person who died in Wei Jichen's hands was really him. Son, it's a pity that he has many sons, there will still be care for them all.

Just the day before yesterday, a man who was said to be his son's best friend came to him and told him in tears how Wei Jichen brutally killed his son, and then left a large sum of money behind. He said that as a close friend, he wanted to help his son. Take revenge and let yourself move.

It was true that money was falling from the sky, and it was not for nothing. In addition, the man also talked about how tragic his son's death was and how unjust he was. Yin Jiu even cried with his son's friends and vowed to avenge this for his son. A bloody feud is coming.

Therefore, Yin Jiu immediately thought of several money-greedy princes in the capital, and Prince Rui Zaiyi, Cixi's niece and son-in-law, was his first choice.

After seeing Yin Shijiu go out, Zaiyi dressed up and prepared to go to the palace immediately to ask for Cixi. She would use people's money to do things for others, so that the wealth would come rolling in in the future.

At this time, Cixi in the Summer Palace didn't need Zai Yi to accuse him. She was already unhappy with Wei Jichen.

I saw that she was sitting on a golden chair with carved dragons. The table in front of her was filled with information about recent events in the capital. As the most powerful person in the Qing Dynasty, no trouble could be hidden from her in the capital.

Li Lianying stayed aside with her head lowered, not daring to make a sound. Cixi had lost her temper just now, which could be seen from the broken vases in the room.

"What a first person in the Far East." Cixi said calmly and powerfully.

"Lafayette, everyone is praising him. Wei Jichen can compare with you." After seeing Cixi lose her temper, Li Lianying calmed down a little and expressed relief on her face.

"Why can't you compare with me? Look, even the British, Americans, and Germans are saying good things about him. Who else in China is as famous as Wei Jichen?" Cixi felt really bad, she She was humiliated by foreigners again and again, but Wei Jichen was admired by foreigners. Doesn't this indirectly mean that she, Cixi, is not as good as Wei Jichen?

"Lafayette, Wei Jichen's small contribution, without your support, could he have succeeded?" It was better that Li Lianying did not say this, but Cixi's anger immediately increased when he mentioned it.

She said coldly: "The support of the Ai family? All these achievements are hidden from the Ai family. What support does the Ai family have? This is all done by him. Look, the sergeants under Wei Jichen only know that there is Wei Jichen didn’t know there was a court, and they didn’t even think about whose salary they were getting. Could it be Wei Jichen’s?”

"Lafayette, what do you think?" Li Lianying asked cautiously.

Cixi snorted coldly and said unhurriedly: "Raising a tiger will eventually lead to trouble. The Ai family must let him disappear quietly before he becomes a man."

Li Lianying rolled her eyes and said with some worry: "Wei Jichen has made considerable contributions. If he is touched now, I'm afraid."

"Don't worry, the Ai family won't be so stupid to touch him now, not to mention that they still need him to deal with the Japanese in Liaodong. However, the Ai family can't let him continue to grow, so they will let him go for a while until the limelight passes. "Killing him is not as easy as killing a little ant." A cold light flashed in Cixi's eyes.

"Thank you, Lafayette!" Li Lianying had to admire Cixi's strategy.
