The Tibetan envoys were all full of joy, and no matter how hard they went through, they still found strong foreign help.This time, he was ordered to send the Qing court to rescue, a total of more than 50 people, and only a dozen people remained after leaving the customs.Along the way, they were either scattered by strong winds or buried alive in mudslides."
Lord Shangshu, can you tell us an approximate time, and we can explain to the Living Buddha when we go back.The Tibetan envoy Tashi Tsering excitedly asked Li Hongzao, wanting to make sure that the imperial court was not perfunctory, and he didn't want to be happy in vain."
If the imperial court wants to stop the Huaxing army and support Tibet, it must always solve the Huaxing army in the pass first.Don't worry, when you go back, tell your living Buddha that you only need to hold out in Tibet for three months, and the army of the imperial court will soon go south to eliminate all the rebels.Hua Xingjun acted recklessly, the sky was angry and people were resentful, and it couldn't be arrogant for long" Li Hongzao boasted about Haikou, although he knew that the court was incompetent, but he couldn't show a little bit of unconfidence on his face.He was afraid that once he showed his helplessness, these Tibetans would have no hope, and he was afraid that they would immediately return to the Huaxing army.If they see hope, they will definitely fight a decisive battle with the Huaxing army to the end.The Huaxing army must have been dragged down by these Tibetans, which was no better for the Qing Dynasty."
It's really good, Lord Shangshu, rest assured, we Tibetans will always be concerned about the imperial court, and we will fight a decisive battle with the Huaxing army to the end" Tashi Tsering was overjoyed, and excitedly made a big salute to Li Hongzao, and his heart suddenly put it in his stomach.After bidding farewell to Li Hongzao, the group did not stay in Mukden for a long time, and soon entered the customs and went to Yunnan, preparing to take the ancient tea horse road into Tibet.This time, the Huaxing Army mainly dispatched 100,000 troops from the Sichuan Military Region into Tibet, and they did not dare to take the Sichuan-Tibet line, and wanted to bypass the Huaxing Army as much as possible.The Sichuan-Tibet line and the Yunnan-Tibet line are both part of the Ancient Tea Horse Road, and the two are connected to each other.In the end, they all met in Nyingchi City in Tibet and led to Lhasa together.The movement in the customs is actually quite free, except for the military base, there are basically no sentry checkpoints.They wore Tibetan costumes, and when they were interrogated, they claimed to be Tibetans living on the Yunnan-Tibet border, and none of them embarrassed them.After they crossed the mountain customs, they entered a place of freedom.The Huaxing Army also has a heavy army in this place, and all the traders and ordinary people who pass by must be checked.They never cut off contact with the Qing court at any time, and although they fought all day long, they always had economic ties.Shanhaiguan is located at the junction of the Huaxing Army and the Qing Army, north of Qinhuangdao, and also at the junction of North China and Northeast China.When the Qing army withdrew to the north of Jinzhou, the Huaxing army only occupied Qinhuangdao and did not continue the pursuit, leaving a buffer zone of thousands of miles between Jinzhou and Qinhuangdao.The Qing court made up its mind to accumulate strength in the eastern part of the country, and did not cross Jinzhou by half a step, and locked itself up in the northeast.Although the Huaxing army took Outer Mongolia and opened the west gate to the northeast.However, Outer Mongolia and the northeast are blocked by the Xing'an Mountains, and at this time, only mountain and forest paths can enter the northeast, which is not suitable for large-scale use of troops, so the Qing court is still safe for the time being.Since Cixi proposed in the court that Zhang Zhidong relied on looting the Huaxing army as a way to supplement weapons and ammunition.The Manchu nobles of the Military Aircraft Department took this as an edict, wanting to force Zhang Zhidong to send a new army to implement this plan, so as to weaken Zhang Zhidong's prestige, and also to restore the strength of the new army of the Eastern Han people, so that the Manchu nobles could return to power.They knew that if they really looted the arsenal of the Huaxing Army, it would be tantamount to pulling teeth out of the tiger's mouth.As long as Zhang Zhidong does this, it must be nine deaths.The Military Aircraft Department handed over the plan for the plundering of Shanhaiguan to Cixi for review, and Cixi was of course happy to stamp her phoenix seal.This lucrative deal was originally proposed by her.Zhang Zhidong was almost so depressed that he was about to vomit blood, I don't know what these Manchu relatives and nobles think, at this time, they are still constantly excluding dissidents.However, Cixi's Feng edict had to be obeyed, and he had to put his henchman Zhang Chunsheng as a last resort.The Kwantung New Army was completely organized in accordance with the establishment of the Huaxing Army, and Zhang Chunsheng is now the chief of staff of the three armed forces.He was originally the bearded leader of the three eastern provinces, and he was also an old northeasterner who had settled in the northeast for generations.His subordinates commanded thousands of men and horses in nine mountains and eighteen villages, and they were almost unhindered in the northeast at the beginning.He was originally born in Xiucai, and his family was quite wealthy.It was only because the road was uneven once that he accidentally killed a Manchurian, so he was forced to take his brother as a beard.Zhang Zhidong was ordered to build a new army in the northeast, and a great measure was to pardon all the sins committed by the beard.As long as you are willing to submit to the imperial court, all your previous sins will be written off.Otherwise, the imperial court will inevitably eliminate bandits one by one.The tree is very popular, and Zhang Chunping is the first person to be targeted by Zhang Zhidong.Zhang Zhidong has never been a corrupt Confucian, as long as he is a talented person, he can not care about any crimes he has committed before.After communicating with Zhang Chunping three times and twice, Zhang Chunping and Zhang Zhidong sympathized with each other, and brought thousands of his brothers to submit to Zhang Zhidong.He was originally forced to be a bandit, but now that the government is recruiting and can serve the court, of course he responded without hesitation.The two joined hands to quickly annex and annex all kinds of beards in the Northeast, and soon built up more than 100,000 elite soldiers."
Chunsheng, what do you think about this matter" Zhang Zhidong gave Zhang Chunsheng a look at Cixi's edict, asked with a somewhat low expression, clicked his lips, and took a sharp puff of the cigarette he bought from the Guannei."
Commander, all this is definitely a conspiracy of the Manchurians, and they will definitely want us to die in vain.The Huaxing army is heavily guarded, how can they give us weapons and ammunition in vain.What's more, their military base is located in Shanhaiguan, where the city wall is strong, and it can't be attacked without heavy artillery" "I understand what you said in my heart, but if we don't go, those Manchu relatives and nobles will definitely sue us for the sin of supporting the army and not obeying Yi's orders, and then our situation will be even more difficult" Zhang Zhidong calmly analyzed, his face full of helplessness."
Does the commander mean that he wants his brothers to die in vain?"
Zhang Chunsheng's eyes widened with resentment."
Chunsheng, no one knows what the result will be until things are practiced.It's good that this happens.But if it doesn't work, I also have a reason to admonish in the imperial court, and the facts prove that this method is not possible. ”Zhang Zhidong snuffed out the cigarette butt, and the meaning of his words was very clear, that is, someone must practice this, in other words, someone would touch the egg with the stone.Qinhuangdao was garrisoned by the Right Army Corps of the Taiyuan Military Region, and a total of troops of the Third Route Army were deployed on the Qinhuangdao defense line in Hebei, and Lin Quanbao, chief of staff of the Taiyuan Military Region, personally commanded here.Zhang Chunsheng did not fight with the Huaxing army, and he was ordered to advance the front to the Shanhaiguan area.However, after attacking three or four times, they all lost their troops and returned with a great defeat.That's why the defense line was obediently set up in the Jinzhou area, otherwise there would not be a buffer zone of thousands of miles.He knew in his heart that if the Kwantung New Army of the Han people alone attacked Shanhaiguan, there would be only one way to die."
Liangshan Song Jiang didn't know that attacking Fang La would cause losses to his troops and generals, and he was in the imperial court, and he would inevitably be controlled by the imperial court.Since the Queen Mother has given an order, she must abide by it, which is the way to be loyal to the monarch and patriotic.What's more, Shanhaiguan has only deployed the strength of one army, and we are only for the purpose of looting materials and ammunition this time.If the three-way army suddenly attacked, it would definitely be able to catch the Huaxing army by surprise.As soon as their reinforcements arrived, we immediately withdrew from Shanhaiguan and withdrew to the Jinzhou defense line" Zhang Zhidong comforted Zhang Chunsheng, and had already made up his mind to abandon the soldiers and protect the commander, and sacrifice some people to save the entire Han new army.Even if this operation fails, it can prove to Cixi that this path is completely impassable.Prince Gong's mansion, the parliament hall is bustling, and almost all the Manchu magnates are seated here.Including the commander of the Protector Army, Rong Lu, the commander of the Manchu Kwantung New Army, Prince Alcohol, and the new commander of the Eight Banners Army, Prince Qing.Since Prince Qing returned from the assassination of Qiao Zhiqing, he was immediately reused by Cixi as if he had been gilded abroad, and he was immediately promoted to the commander of the Eight Banners of the three eastern provinces, and was fully responsible for the training and command of the Eight Banners Army.Of the five military forces in the imperial court, the only soldiers and horses in charge of the Han people were Zhang Zhidong's Han Kwantung New Army, and the more than 100,000 Green Battalion Army of Li Hongzao, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and the Manchu soldiers and horses still had an absolute advantage."
Sixth brother, your plan this time is really amazing.Zhang Zhidong's kid must not advance, nor does he retreat.Once he doesn't listen to Yi's decree and his subordinates are waiting for an opportunity to make trouble, let's join him, then the court is still our brothers' final say" Prince Alcohol raised his glass excitedly and took a sip, since Prince Gong sent his green hat out, Prince Alcohol has become closer and closer to Prince Gong, and everything is headed by Prince Gong."
Seventh brother, this is nothing, we can also pour another fire on the Han Kwantung New Army.Don't we pay the military salary at the end of every month, and the day after tomorrow is the day after tomorrow.Now that you are also the secretary of the household department and supervise the finances, you can find an excuse to deliberately delay the payment of military salaries to them until next month.We are secretly spreading rumors, saying that the imperial court does not care about the Han Kwantung New Army.If there is no military pay, where are they willing to go to the front to work hard?
If these two fires are burned, the beards of the Han Kwantung New Army will definitely not help but make trouble, so that we will be 100% sure. ”Prince Qing is the ninth in line, the youngest of the three princes, and he is also the most scheming in his heart.Otherwise, he would not have assassinated Qiao Zhiqing alone to raise his reputation.He was able to get out of the prison thanks to the great help of Prince Gong and Prince Alcohol, Prince Alcohol actually gave up his own flesh and blood for him, and he naturally remembered this friendship in his heart.He didn't know that the flesh and bone was the seed left by Qiao Zhiqing, and it had always been a thorn in Prince Alcohol's heart."
Lao Jiu, your kid has been locked up in Huaxingjun's prison for a month, but he has become more and more impressed by the seventh brother" Prince Alcohol laughed and applauded again and again, becoming more and more optimistic about this ninth brother."
Okay, just do what Lao Jiu said, and pour some oil and water on the fire.Today's king is really happy, not because of anything else, but seeing that the royal family is so united and has always been external, our Qing Dynasty rejuvenation is expected to also Gong Prince laughed, raised a glass and toasted everyone, and his heart was really happy.I was also secretly glad that my dedication to Prince Alcohol and Prince Qing had finally paid off
