Zhang Chunsheng returned to the barracks and summoned all his generals.Except for his younger brother Zhang Chunping, the other generals were all old brothers from the original Nine Mountains and Eighteen Villages."
Brothers, I just received an order from the imperial court, we will march into Shanhaiguan on the first day of the first month of next month" Zhang Chunsheng said lightly with a calm face, wanting to see the reaction of the generals."
Really, the big brother's court is finally going to give an order to enter the customs" "Great, if we go to Beijing and let the emperor return to the Dragon Court, it will be the hero of the founding of the country" "Big brother, you can give an order."
Brothers, now they are strong and strong, just waiting for your order. ”The generals shouted one after another, their faces full of irrepressible excitement.They are outside the customs and have not received the favor of Huaxingjun, so naturally they will not have the slightest affection for Huaxingjun."
Big brother, don't you still have half a sentence to say" Zhang Chunsheng's younger brother Zhang Chunping asked with a cold face, which made the atmosphere in the lobby dim.He and Zhang Chunsheng are brothers, but their personalities are completely opposite.Zhang Chunsheng is anxious for justice and righteousness, and open-minded.But this younger brother is the complete opposite, although he is also full of talent, but there is always a trace of viciousness and ferocity between his eyebrows.When he first recovered other cottages, he was about to die because of his confidant.As a result, the cottage had already raised troops and surrendered, but he still beheaded them all, peeled them off and cramped, and hung them on the city gate tower for three days.As soon as the beard of the three provinces of Kanto mentioned Zhang Chunping's name, he would shake it on a hot day, and call him Zhang Papi behind his back.He was quite familiar with his eldest brother, and even if he didn't listen to him, he knew what he meant.All the generals were stunned, and they also secretly moved their brains.If there is really good news, Zhang Chunsheng will not pull his face without any expression."
Chunping is right, I haven't finished talking just now.The imperial court did not march into the customs in a big way, this time it only sent us to attack Shanhaiguan" Zhang Chunsheng said solemnly, and he did not intend to hide this matter.is death, he also makes his brothers die to understand, and he will never use tricks to let them die without knowing what is going on.He didn't say anything about it, and no one knew about it, as long as he made up a reason, his brothers would follow him to attack Shanhaiguan without thinking too much, but he was never that kind of person."
How is this possible, we only have 100,000 horses in our hands, but Shanhaiguan is indeed a high wall, with more than 30,000 soldiers and horses garrisoned, and we will go to the egg and the stone.Once their reinforcements are outflanked, we will kill ourselves," Deng Qinghu, the commander of the right army, shouted, and immediately exploded."
I agree with Brother Deng's opinion, big brother, we can't go, if there are no other soldiers and horses to respond, Shanhaiguan is simply a place to attack for a long time.It is likely that the Huaxing army will come from all directions and encircle us south of Jinzhou and annihilate them all. ”Liu Heishan, the commander of the Chinese army, also opposed sending troops alone, and they did not fight against the Huaxing army alone.Once, the Huaxing army directly captured Huludao from Bohai Bay, and almost encircled and annihilated them.Huludao is like a sharp knife between Jinzhou and Shanhaiguan, which can cut off Jinzhou's retreat at any time.Although there is a buffer zone between Jinzhou and Shanhaiguan, it is in fact completely constrained by the Huaxing Army, which can garrison a division of marines in Huludao, and the division commander is Chu Tianyue, who has just been promoted by the deputy brigade commander.After his brigade commander Wang Tianlai was promoted to division commander, he was also promoted.The Huaxing Army of this division sent troops directly from Japan, and all the logistics were supplied by the Japanese state.The expansion of the Huaxing Army was finally extended to the overseas Marine Corps, and the establishment of each division overseas was also increased to three corps.It's about ten times bigger.Anyway, the military salaries of these soldiers and horses are also provided by the countries where they are stationed, and the reason why Qiao Zhiqing did not expand their troops at the beginning was that he was afraid that the Huaxing army on the mainland would not be able to restrain them, so they each supported their own troops.Now there are millions of Huaxing troops on the mainland, and Qiao Zhiqing is not worried about this problem.At the beginning, there were still 20,000 or 30,000 Eight Banners stationed in Huludao, and a large number of forts were built along the coast.However, Chu Tianyue only landed in Huludao with 10,000 people, and the Eight Banners did not fire a single shot, and when they saw ten warships coming, they pulled their legs and retreated to the Jinzhou defense line.Chu Tianyue was depressed to death, and directly took tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and pulled out two or three strongholds in front of the Jinzhou defense line before giving up.If it weren't for the lack of logistical supplies, he would have gone directly to Jinzhou.There was silence in the battle hall of the Han Kwantung New Army, and as soon as Zhang Chunsheng's words fell, two army commanders objected, and he had to turn his head to his younger brother, wanting to hear his younger brother's opinion.Zhang Chunping always has a gloomy face, and a smile is almost a luxury for him.After Zhang Chunsheng looked up, Zhang Chunping raised his head, looked around at everyone and said coldly, "Everyone should consider their identities before making a decision, since they are all generals of the imperial court."
If you don't obey the order, you must all know the consequences, and the eldest brother said that if you want to attack Shanhaiguan, then you must fight.What we are struggling with should not be this problem, but how to minimize losses," as the saying goes, fight tiger brothers, go into battle with father and son.Zhang Chunsheng glanced at his younger brother with relief, and finally realized the meaning of this sentence."
Brother Chunping, we don't mean that, even if the eldest brother wants us to die, we definitely don't have any complaints.But this bullshit decision of the imperial court is obviously coming at us, we listen to the eldest brother, but to hell with the orders of the imperial court" Deng Qinghu, the commander of the right army, defended, his face full of loyalty."
Brother Chunping, our brothers are loyal to the eldest brother, and the world can learn from heaven and earth.You're right, we should find a way to come out of this matter" Liu Heishan, the commander of the Chinese army, also hurriedly patted his chest and assured, for fear that Zhang Chunsheng would misunderstand that he had two hearts.The two of them are also afraid of Zhang Chunping, he is ruthless, if anyone offends Zhang Chunsheng, it is better to say, if there is a disagreement with him, he will remember it and find an opportunity to kill the enemy."
Well, I'm sure we can get through this if we work together.The intention of the imperial court is not to target us, I guess it must be against Marshal Zhang Zhidong.When Marshal Zhang Zhidong was demoted, we were commanded by Prince Alcohol, and there were not so many things to worry about.But since Marshal Zhang Zhidong took over the Han Kwantung New Army, our troubles have come one after another.These Manchurian people must want to monopolize power and exclude dissidents, so they will take the opportunity to come up with such a vicious opinion" Zhang Chunsheng calmly analyzed, and finally had some eyebrows in his heart."
I know that these satisfied dogs are not the same heart as our Han people, and they are really their territory in the Northeast.Go back two hundred years, this place is still our Han people" As soon as Zhang Chunsheng's words fell, Deng Qinghu scolded angrily, the reason why he went up the mountain to be a bandit was because the Manchu Qing Dynasty oppressed too much."
Yes, it must be like that.Lord Zhang Zhidong is for the country and the people, and the Qing court still treats him like this, it is really unfair that we still try our best to protect their Manchurian country, but they want to put us to death. ”Liu Heishan also scolded indignantly and gave in for Zhang Zhidong."
Big brother, what did Lord Zhang Zhidong say, did he agree to let us go to death" Zhang Chunping frowned, a trace of lust flashed on his face, Zhang Chunsheng sighed, and nodded as a default.He is very entangled in his heart now, Zhang Zhidong has the grace of knowing him, and it stands to reason that he should repay him desperately.But now that he knew it was a conspiracy, he was going to take his brother into it.Zhang Chunping was somewhat unwilling and couldn't make up his mind."
Since Zhang Zhidong is unkind, then should we" Zhang Chunping directly wiped his neck with a knife with his hand, and he already wanted to get rid of Zhang Zhidong as soon as possible.In his heart, I am afraid that only his eldest brother is worth maintaining by himself in this world, and whoever is the stepping stone, no matter who it is, he will also get rid of it happily."
No" Zhang Dashuai has the grace of knowing us, if it weren't for Zhang Dashuai, we would still be a little bandit now.The imperial army retreated to the northeast, and we were wiped out a long time ago, where do we have the current status I warn you, if anything happens to Zhang Dashuai, I will definitely cut off the brotherly relationship with you" Zhang Chunsheng hurriedly scolded his younger brother, and then aggravated his tone and told his younger brother.He also knew the temper of this younger brother, either he didn't speak, and as soon as he spoke, he was about to make it.Zhang Chunping lowered his head and said no more, but his fists were secretly clenched, and a sneer appeared on his face.The commander of the middle army and the commander of the right army were also speechless, they were really afraid of Zhang Chunping from the bottom of their hearts, there was really nothing in the world that he didn't dare to do."
Okay, let's break up the meeting first, let me think about it for two more days, I will always come up with a foolproof plan, anyway, I won't send troops until next month, I have to wait for the brothers to receive their salaries" Zhang Chunsheng waved his hand annoyedly, his face showed a trace of tiredness, thinking of the brothers under his hands, a heavy responsibility rose in his heart At the end of the month, the Qing court was in the morning.Prince Alcohol knelt on the ground and started playing, because farming is about to start after the beginning of spring, and most of the silver in the treasury is used for spring ploughing, so there is a shortage of military salaries, and I am afraid that it will be released at the end of the month, and it will not be issued until the fifteenth of the next month.The Manchu relatives and nobles also stood up to ask for silver for the household, and Prince Alcohol was completely helpless.Cixi agreed to his request, and anyway, after a delay of fifteen days, the soldiers would not starve to death.Only Zhang Zhidong frowned in the court, and he was going to send troops to Shanhaiguan at the beginning of the month.If the military salary cannot be paid, it is difficult for the soldiers to guarantee that they will complain.If you don't make trouble with these recruited beards, it will cause other accidents, and then it will be even more difficult for him to end.After the next court, Prince Gong, Prince Alcohol, and Prince Qing looked at Zhang Zhidong with a sneer behind their backs, their faces full of traitors.As if looking at a fish on a cutting board, the next moment they will raise the butcher knife in their hands.Finally, when the day of military salaries arrived, all armies and arms were eagerly waiting for the five taels of silver per month.But the result was that except for the Han Kwantung New Army, all the troops were paid, and only these hundreds of thousands of people were missing
