Super Dictator

Wei Jichen held a banquet in the government office to welcome Song Qing. Everyone was toasting and the host and guests were all happy.

In fact, Wei Jichen did not regard the position of the chief commander as important as Song Qing thought. He just had a thought in his mind, that is, to capture Fuzhou and Jinzhou within a month. Song Qing's arrival made this thought possible.

After the two places were captured, the main task was completed, and 100,000 merit points could be obtained. As for whether he was the chief commander, it was not very important. As long as he played an indispensable role in the process of capturing, the system would consider the main task completed.

Therefore, Wei Jichen also had a friendly attitude towards Song Qing's arrival. After all, Song Qing's qualifications were many times deeper than his own. When others were fighting, he was not born yet. It was not cheap to take Song Qing as the chief commander.

Wei Jichen tried his best to please Song Qing, and Song Qing was also interested in making friends.

Song Qing had been marching and fighting for many years, and from time to time he talked about some interesting things in the suppression of the past, and everyone listened with relish.

Wei Jichen came from the later generations and had extraordinary knowledge. When he talked about the secret history of some Western countries, the generals were stunned. Even Song Qing was curious and asked questions from time to time.

The two of them almost became the focus of everyone's attention. The atmosphere at the banquet was very warm.

Everyone drank until their eyes were hazy, and they drank thoroughly, which was considered to make up for the New Year.

Seeing that everyone had almost finished drinking, Song Qing stood up and said with a smile: "After all, I am old and cannot compare with you young people. I have drunk a lot of wine tonight, and I am tired from marching for many days. I will go down to rest first."

Everyone hurriedly got up to see him off. Wei Jichen had already prepared a sleeping room for Song Qing and others. At this time, he gave an order, and several personal soldiers led him to the western wing.

After a while of greeting, everyone slowly dispersed.

Wei Jichen returned to his room, drank a few cups of tea to sober up, and then prepared to visit Song Qing privately.

Who would have thought that before his people left, there was a crisp knock on the door.

Wei Jichen opened the door and saw Song Qing who had just left. He changed into an ordinary robe. If it weren't for his bright eyes, he would have looked like an ordinary old man with white hair.

Song Qing stood outside the door with a smile, still a little drunk, and behind him were several of his personal soldiers.

Wei Jichen hurriedly invited him in, and said ashamedly: "In terms of emotion and reason, I should have visited Song Shuai first, but I didn't expect Song Shuai to come to me first. I am really ashamed."

Song Qing saw the teacup on the table and joked with a smile: "It seems that Zijie's skills are not strong enough. I have been immersed in the sea of ​​wine for many years and have practiced a huge capacity of drinking thousands of cups without getting drunk. Therefore, I came to visit you before you, Zijie, sobered up."

The two sat down according to the host and guest, and a personal soldier came forward to help Song Qing pour tea.

Song Qing took a sip, smiled and glanced at the guard, then said: "I don't come here for no reason. I have something important to tell you, Zijie." Wei Jichen raised his hand, and the guard left. After closing the door, only Song Qing and Wei Jichen were left in the room. "Please tell me what you want, Marshal Song." Wei Jichen guessed that he wanted to discuss the issue of the commander-in-chief with him. Unexpectedly, Song Qing said with a serious face: "Zijie, although you and I have not been together for a long time, I have heard of your great name for a long time. Today, I met you, a young talent, and I think you are a straightforward man. Therefore, I will come to you directly for some things." Wei Jichen saw that he was serious and asked curiously: "Marshal Song is too flattering. This matter..." Song Qing took out a telegram from his arms and gently put it in Wei Jichen's hand, saying seriously: "This is the telegram I received from the Military Affairs Office not long ago." Wei Jichen took it and saw that it was written on it: Wei Jichen, the former assistant military affairs officer, killed innocent people indiscriminately and despised the king's law. Now he is dismissed and kept in the camp to see the effect. The latter part talks about Wei Jichen killing the captain. Dismissal and retention means that he was dismissed from his position as assistant military affairs officer, but he can continue to lead the Wei army in battle. Like Xu Daobang, he was also dismissed by the court for losing Lushun and other places before, and now he is also staying in the camp to serve. But he had been commended by the court a few days ago. Why did the wind direction in the court change now? When Wei Jichen saw that the signature below was the military minister Sun Yuwen, he understood a little.

Song Qing thought that Wei Jichen was young and not very clear about the various forces in the court. Seeing that he looked at the telegram with a normal face, he couldn't help but remind him: "Lord Sun is now a favorite of the old Buddha."

Wei Jichen looked at Song Qing gratefully and said seriously: "I have to thank General Song for telling the truth."

Wei Jichen was really grateful. Song Qing could have completely not produced this telegram, or crossed out Sun Yuwen's name to let himself figure out the reason. Now with this name, many facts can be inferred.

Song Qing smiled and said, "This is a small matter, not worth mentioning. I don't agree with this telegram. I guess this assistant commander's family has some power, and then the matter was reported to the Military Affairs Office, so the Military Affairs Office issued such a telegram." Wei Jichen nodded in agreement, but he didn't agree in his heart. He had made so many attacks. If this crime of killing innocent people was to be investigated, it would be reasonable for both parties. Sun Yuwen, how dare you issue this order without Cixi's nod.

When did he come into the eyes of this old Buddha? Wei Jichen felt a little depressed. Being in Liaodong, it was difficult to understand some of the situation in the capital.

It seems that it is necessary for me to establish an intelligence network in the capital to collect some useful things for myself and to do activities for myself. Otherwise, I will be too passive here.

In the blink of an eye, Wei Jichen's thoughts were changing, and he remembered that he had just made a small fortune, and he could make it, but he had not yet thought of this candidate.

My dear, there will be more after this chapter^.^,

Wei Jichen's expression didn't change at all. Seeing Song Qing's expression of feeling sorry for him, he couldn't help but throw an observation skill at him. After a green light, the friendship level showed 62. It seemed that Admiral Song was not a man of words and a sword.

Wei Jichen sent the telegram back to Song Qing and said with a relaxed face: "Life is like the tide in the sea, there are low tides and high tides. The boy was in too much limelight some time ago, and now he is avoiding the limelight. In the future, I, Wei Zijun, will invite Song Qing Shuai can take more care of me.”

Seeing that Wei Jichen was already so stable at his age, Song Qing couldn't help but feel relieved. He stroked his beard and said with a smile: "In the future, if Zijie is going to help me a lot, I'll let you and I work hard together." The Japanese rushed back to the sea."

"Since Commander Song has such pride, I am willing to be a pawn, vanguard, and fight against the Japanese. I have never been shy." Wei Jichen said with the same pride.

Never hesitate to fight against Japanese invaders. You, Wei Jichen, are the only one in the Qing Dynasty who dares to say this, Song Qing squinted his eyes and praised in his heart.

"Commander Song, now that your army has arrived, I don't know when to launch a counterattack. The situation on the battlefield in Shandong is not optimistic." Wei Jichen raised his eyebrows and said helplessly.

In terms of grand strategy, the Japanese have steadily suppressed China. When the Qing court thought that Japan only wanted to obtain North Korea, Japan had already thought about invading China. When the Qing court thought that Japan would march straight in from the Yalu River, it concentrated a large number of troops. At this time, Little Japan landed from Dalian Bay again, and the two groups attacked at the same time.

When the Qing court thought that Little Japan was going to fight to the death on the Liaodong battlefield, Little Japan took a unique approach and opened up a second battlefield to continue to maintain pressure on the Zhili region.

This is the gap between the top management of China and Japan.

When Song Qing saw Wei Jichen talking about the Shandong battlefield, he became a little sad. He shook his head helplessly and said: "This Japanese is really unexpected and attacked me unprepared."

Wei Jichen raised his eyebrows and said resonantly: "This is also our opportunity. The Japanese have massively increased their troops in Shandong, and the battlefield in Liaodong has begun to adopt a conservative strategy, switching from offense to defense. As long as we continue to win in Liaodong, we can Indirectly support Shandong's anti-Japanese campaign, preventing the Japanese from attacking Shandong with all their strength."

"It's a pity that the Beiyang Fleet has suffered heavy losses and is hiding in the harbor and dare not come out. Otherwise, it can quickly transport troops from the Liaodong battlefield to support the Shandong Peninsula. Now it seems that Zhongtang gave up sea control before, which was really a mistake." Song Qing saw that Wei Jichen was so insightful that he even revealed his views on the Sino-Japanese War these days.

Wei Jichen did not expect Song Qing to be so knowledgeable, so he smiled awkwardly. Li Hongzhang was his immediate boss. Song Qing could say this, but Wei Jichen could not join him in blaming Li Hongzhang.

"By the way, Commander Song, a large part of the reason why the boy was able to win two victories before was because he followed the Japanese method of combining artillery teams. Please give Commander Song more consideration now." Wei Jichen saw Song Qing was not the kind of conservative general, so he couldn't help but say something.

Wei Jichen just sneaked into the system and found that only his own Wei Zijun was left in the Army system. The Ren Zijun and Xi Zijun had all disappeared and were no longer under his control. The following battles would not produce any merit for him. value.

If the artillery team was dismantled and returned to the armies, it would not only be useless for the subsequent battles, but also reduce the number of troops that could generate merit points for him. Therefore, Wei Jichen hoped that Song Qing could continue to entrust the artillery team to his management.

When Song Qing heard what Wei Jichen said, he couldn't help but become interested, and asked carefully about the details of the two previous battles. When he heard that Wei Jichen had planted explosives on the river, and then used cannons to bombard him, causing a big explosion, he couldn't help praising him. .

"By doing this, Zijie can combine powerful firepower and use it as a weapon to attack difficulties. It is indeed good. But if this artillery team is defeated by the Japanese, wouldn't our losses be even more heavy?" Song Qing agreed. , and a little worried.

"Commander Song, please rest assured. Our artillery positions are generally not placed behind the first line of defense of the troops, but are placed in other more concealed and farther places. Besides, the boy Wei Zijun is not a vegetarian. Unless the battle is fought to the last moment, The soldiers have to fight, otherwise I will keep the artillery position intact." Wei Jichen saw that Song Qing had been persuaded by him and struck while the iron was hot to get the artillery into his hands.

"In this case, I will trust you for once, and I will hand over the artillery team in my army to your leadership." Song Qing thought for a while and said with a serious face.

The reason why Song Qing did this was that, firstly, Wei Jichen was not a person who gained fame in vain, and his military exploits were truly earned. Second, after Wei Jichen heard that he was dismissed from his post, he expressed his willingness to obey his commander-in-chief without saying a word. Song Qing naturally reciprocated the favor.

Wei Jichen was even more happy when he heard this.
