"Is this what you think is an elite talent? Are you so mad at me?" Xiao Letian roared loudly in the Prime Minister's Mansion. The person in front of him who was being scolded and did not dare to move was none other than His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Aixinjueluo Zaichun. .
After the news of Sandaogou's victory reached Ryukyu, Zai Chun, who was having a shooting competition with his three hundred guards in the military camp, danced excitedly. The three hundred guards were all well-established Eight Banner nobles. The land outside the pass achieved such a great victory, and the cry of long live suddenly resounded in the sky.
Regardless of their superiority or inferiority, they threw Zai Chun into the sky, caught him and then threw him up again, saying "Long live! Long live! Long live" dozens of times.
At that time, these three hundred guards began to write blood, begging Xiao Letian to send them to the White Mountains and Black Waters to fight against the Rakshasa ghosts. They must use their actions to defend the land of their ancestors.
Zai Chun went to his master to plead with him with the blood of three hundred guards. In front of Xiao Letian, he praised the bravery of Lord Long and the Sino-Japanese allied forces, and vowed to reward these elites after taking charge.
Xiao Leqian's nose was crooked. "This is what you think is the elite? Is this what you call the elite if you keep giving orders and changing my strategy without authorization? If this wasn't tens of thousands of miles away, I would have gone over and scolded them. You know these people?" Will it cause me much trouble?"
"Who asked them to attack Sandao Gou? How brave, killing all the more than a thousand Russian troops? What a courage, you Xiang Shaolong still think you are that powerful man in the world? I want to remove you from your post. Remove him from office"
Zai Chun was so frightened that he did not dare to move. Wang Huaiyuan and Xiao Hexin who were standing next to him tried to persuade him, "Yes, the Prime Minister is right. We just want to remove him from his post and bring Master Long here. He will not be allowed to lead troops in the future."
"But Prime Minister, the mountains in the Far East have been sealed by heavy snow, and the volunteer army has been scattered over more than 400,000 square kilometers of land. Where do you want us to find General Xiang?"
"You need to calm down first. No matter how serious the situation is now, we have to wait until the beginning of the new year before we can contact Mr. Long. Don't worry, when the ice and snow melt in the spring, we will definitely remove him."
Xiao Letian knew that this was their plan to delay the war, but even though he knew it was a plan, there was nothing he could do about it. There was no telegraph in the Far East, and radio technology had not yet been developed. The thousands of miles of frozen virgin jungle wanted to find Long Ye's hiding place, let alone The Russians couldn't do it, not even Xiao Letian could do it.
This is the trouble caused by technological backwardness. Why is there a saying in ancient times that a general will not accept the fate of a foreign king? It's not that those generals are domineering, it's that the communication level is really impossible. I really can't do it, my concubine.
Xiao Letian pressed his temples painfully. He sat on a chair and said, "Four-nine cities have exploded. The newspapers in Shanghai have already made a sensation. Hong Kong sent four warships to the north and anchored in Shanghai overnight, and expressed serious concern!"
"Ten days ago, the Russian Minister Ulan Geli and his guards stormed the Prime Minister's Yamen. They all drew their guns in front of Prince Gong. He actually wanted to fight with the Japanese in a six-corner fight. These Russians have gone crazy!"
"Not only that, French Minister Goldmire, American Minister John John, and British Minister Alley also asked the court for an explanation."
"Not only that, Ulan Geli also sent me a telegram, asking me to explain why those volunteers had German-made Mauser rifles and full-metal cartridge cases, and asked me whether there was any intervention from Ryukyu!"
"It's moving, it's moving now, the situation in East Asia is in chaos, and the root of all this is because a certain arrogant changed the strategy I formulated without authorization."
Xiao Letian stood up angrily and walked around the room. "I told him a thousand times to adapt to this winter first. I told him to start with a little harassment and not to be aggressive right away, but he just didn't listen." We are not ready for a decisive battle at all now, and he messed up all my plans."
"And you! Zaichun, why are you causing trouble? You have to send three hundred more guards. Don't you think it's not a big deal? As soon as your identity as a guard is exposed, the Russians will have an excuse to start a war. Can the Eight Banners' military strength outside the Pass defeat the Cossacks? When the entire Pass is lost, you will regret it."
"Now leave here with this shitty blood and let Cai Mao arrange warships to send all Zai Chun's treasures to Fujian. Zuo Jigao will have a headache. I won't serve you anymore!"
Zai Chun was scolded alive. Even though he had matured a lot after practicing for more than a year, at that moment he still felt aggrieved and wanted to cry. Not only because of the Prime Minister's scolding, but also because of the Qing Dynasty. gas. one look
Seeing Zai Chun wiping away tears and leaving, Xiao Letian sighed, "Oh, I'm sorry! Zuo Jigao sent me a secret message. He asked me directly if I organized the Volunteer Army. I didn't answer, but I knew he could guess." come out!"
"Immediately afterwards, Marshal Zeng also sent me a message, requesting me to immediately send Zaichun's 300 guards to Fujian, and immediately begin to expand the army with the 300 officers as the skeleton."
"Not only that, the Marshal also recommended Liu Kunyi, a young general of the Hunan Army who was only 38 years old, to lead 20,000 troops north to support Zuo Jigao. You may not imagine that Marshal Zeng actually mobilized his troops first and then A note to the court."
Hissing Wang Huaiyuan and Xiao Hexin took a breath of air and subconsciously turned their attention to the map of Asia on the wall. "Could it be that Zuo Jigao is going to march westward in advance?"
Xiao Letian clenched his fists tightly, "Yes, these are all veteran warriors who are as good at fighting as ghosts. They may be slightly inferior to us in the tactics of using new weapons, but they will never make mistakes in terms of grand strategy, especially "Asian Strategy"
"This battle in the Far East will definitely cause some changes in the Russian army in Central Asia. Diyachenko will definitely move troops eastward. In this way, Agub's support force will be weak. Zuo Jigao cannot give up this plan!"
"As far as I know, Zuo Jigao has now sent 10,000 of the most elite Hunan troops to attack outside Yumen Pass. As long as the army holds Xingxingxia or even Hami, Agubai's army can only be locked in the Turpan area and stalemate with the Qing army. In this way Just give the soldiers and civilians in other areas of Xinjiang who are still resisting a chance to breathe, and the war situation will ease!"
"It really affects the whole body! Long Ye's battle has indeed caused us a lot of trouble in the short term, but in fact, from a long-term strategic perspective, this is also a good move!"
Xiao Hexin smiled, "Then why are you still scolding His Majesty? It's not easy for young people to be ambitious, which is also a good thing."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Letian stared, "Xiao Hexin, are you awake? What is our strategy in the Far East? It is to build an independent country, not to give it to the Manchus for nothing! Do you want Zai Chun's pro-army to enter their ancestors' territory?" The land of Longxing to strengthen the people's hearts?"
Xiao Hexin stood at attention with a shiver and saluted, "Sorry, my subordinate made a mistake. Please punish me, Prime Minister!"
