"Sir, the Taiwan Navy Battalion is here." Vice Admiral Han Zhaoqi hurriedly walked into the barracks of Luo Rongguang, the commander of Tianjin Town.
"Come here. It's not their first time here." Luo Rongguang said casually. This old guy is over sixty this year. He has been guarding this fortress for almost twenty years. His general military office is not far away from here.
It's not far away, but I rarely go there. I spend most of my time living on the fort, including sleeping.
"They're all here!" Han Zhaoqi said solemnly.
"What's going on?" Luo Rongguang didn't react for a moment.
"The flagship Predator, eight destroyers, six landing ships, plus Yang Feng's black ship, a total of sixteen warships are here." Han Zhaoqi said.
"Damn it, what are they going to do? Ring the alarm and put the forts on alert!" Luo Rongguang jumped up, shouted and ran out with a knife in his hand. He was not a fool, and the Taiwan Navy's defense area was not Dagukou.
It's normal for two ships to come to do something, but it's abnormal for the whole team to come over. If all the landing ships come over, it will be obvious.
The alarm bells rang immediately on the five forts in the north and south of Dagukou, and then thousands of soldiers began to rush to their posts. It should be said that the training level of these defenders was still very good, otherwise the Eight-Nation Allied Forces would not have been defeated in the subsequent Battle of Dagukou.
After suffering such a heavy loss, more than a hundred artillery pieces of various calibers were quickly pointed into the distance, and a dozen warships on the sea were anchored outside the firing range.
Not long after, a small boat was lowered from the black ship and drove over.
"Yuan Weiting, what are you doing at Dagukou?" Luo Rongguang said coldly, looking at Yuan Shikai who was being taken to the fort.
"Master Luo, I see what you said. The Taiwan Navy is an army of the imperial court. Why can't it enter Dakukou? Your subordinate is an official of the imperial court and the commander of the Xinqing Army. I don't think you need to ask where you want to go, Master Luo."
, Mr. Luo, what do you mean by this, aiming the cannon at your own navy warship. What do you mean by this?" Yuan Shikai said dissatisfiedly. His Qing army of 5,000 people was left behind by Yang Feng because of their poor combat effectiveness.
He went to Tokyo and continued to fight with the Germans, but he was brought by Yang Feng and served as his main assistant.
In fact, he also knew very well that after withdrawing from Japan this time, if something harsh was not done, he might not only lose his official position, but also be imprisoned. He could see this more clearly than Song Qing and others. Now the whole
The troops stationed in Japan have all been branded as imperialists. It is strange that Cixi can continue to retain them after the war, so he is now the staunchest supporter of Yang Feng's mutiny.
"The Ministry of War has issued an order for all Japanese troops to surrender to the Japanese army on the spot in Tokyo. If you do not receive a new order, you will be returning without permission. Until there is no order from the Ministry of War, your duties are yours, and we must not allow you to disturb the place."
Luo Rongguang said lightly, he was not stupid, how could he be frightened by Yuan Shikai's words. The orders of the Japanese armies were already known throughout the country. Although he sympathized with their plight, it was his duty to guard Dagukou. Let him
In the past, it was absolutely impossible for an army to act without orders.
"Then Mr. Lauro will ask the imperial court for instructions." Yuan Shikai said. He had expected this. He was just here to perfect the process.
Of course, Luo Rongguang had to ask for instructions. After Li Hongzhang went to Shanghai for treatment, the Assistant Beiyang Minister Wang Wenshao was stationed in Tianjin. The Dagu Fort had a telephone line directly to the Governor's Yamen. After learning the news, the cunning Wang Wenshao immediately understood the real reason why Li Hongzhang ran to Shanghai inexplicably.
Moreover, Li Hongzhang was tantamount to expressing his attitude. Since he, the official governor of Zhili, did not want to get involved in this muddy water, what was he doing as a temporary agent meddling in such nosy matters? He could just continue to report to the imperial court.
Cixi was stunned when she heard the news, but she didn't think about Yang Feng's mutiny at all. In fact, Yang Feng was not considered a mutiny at this time. At most, it was considered a mobilization against the order. Besides, he had not yet sent any soldiers under his command.
The real instigation has begun, and the real conspiracy is still going on.
"This little monkey dared to go to Tianjin and tell Wang Wenshao to take his people to Dagokou and capture Yang Feng and his men directly." Cixi said with a sneer.
Just when she gave this order, Master Weng hurried into the palace and found the puppy with the telegram sent by Yang Feng to Guangxu.
"Your Majesty, the 10,000 Japanese troops commanded by Mr. Yang have arrived at Dagukou. According to what he said, the officers and soldiers in all departments are very angry and angry at the imperial order, and they want to go to the capital to complain about their grievances. This is a God-given opportunity. If these 10,000 people arrive,
If you come to Beijing, your Majesty will be able to accomplish great things." Master Weng said with excitement, he had finally waited for this day for many years.
Guangxu still sat there half-dead, unable to make up his mind. This guy grew up in the shadow of Cixi, and his fear of her could be said to be deeply rooted in his bones. Not to mention rebelling against her, he didn't even dare to think about it.
"Your Majesty, can you bear to have your concubine beaten to death by the Queen Mother?" Concubine Zhen said plaintively while lying on the bed. This little hooves was now gnashing her teeth in hatred for Cixi. She wished she could kick her down quickly and then find an opportunity to pour her a glass of poisonous wine.
, he watched her bleeding from all her orifices, tossing and screaming, just like when he was beaten by her.
"Your Majesty, this opportunity cannot be missed. Now we only need an imperial edict. Yang Feng and other troops can enter the capital, and then your Majesty will fly into the sky." Master Weng anxiously urged from the side. He was really anxious now. This kind of thing cannot be hidden.
Sooner or later, she will be exposed. If Cixi knew that he was jumping up and down to seize her power, I am afraid it might be the disaster of annihilation. The life and death of the Weng family, everyone, could be at this moment.
"Your Majesty, Lord Wang, please see me." At this time, a young eunuch came in and said. He was talking about Wang Mingluan, the right servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in the imperial party. Now several of the main figures around Guangxu have been cleaned up by Cixi. Zai Shu
He was even driven to the sect's mansion and locked up. Only Master Weng and his disciples were left, and then there was Wang Mingluan. Historically, this guy was quickly dismissed and never used again.
"Pass!" the little dog said weakly.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has sent an order to Wang Wenshao, asking him to go to Dagukou to capture Yang Feng and others." Wang Mingluan said anxiously as soon as he came in.
"It's too late for your Majesty to hesitate any longer. Even though Yang Feng is full of loyalty, he has no known soldiers. If the imperial edict inspires the army and is justified, the sad and angry soldiers in his department will definitely obey the order. Wang Wenshao is a scholar, and the garrison of Dagu Fort can only be three thousand.
Ten thousand of the best soldiers who could defeat the Japanese were defeated at once. All the armies of Beiyang had been transferred to the northeast. Tianjin had almost no soldiers. Although there were tens of thousands of troops defending Beijing, there were no soldiers who could fight. It was absolutely impossible.
We have no power to resist, and most of them are waiting and watching. When the troops come to the city, Your Majesty will tell you with great righteousness, and these people will definitely turn against each other." Master Weng said impatiently.
"Your Majesty, if you continue to hesitate, I'll just hang myself. I can't bear this humiliation anymore." Concubine Zhen cried and said, and then struggled to find the rope.
At this time, a man couldn't help it. No matter how cowardly the little dog was, it was still a bit bloody. He gritted his teeth and got up and wrote an imperial edict in his own handwriting to Yang Feng. After sealing it with a jade seal, Master Weng took it out and handed it to O'Connor.
, and then O'Connor personally drove the car to Dagukou.
At this time, Wang Wenshao, who received the telegram, also got up and boarded the ship to go to Dagukou.
The two sides were still in a confrontation outside Dagu. The soldiers on the landing ship had begun to lose control of their emotions. Many even ran to the deck and yelled at the fort. Many people approached their respective commanders and asked for forced landing. Speaking of which,
They really didn't take this fortress seriously. They just smoked the five forts with poison gas bombs and they were done. Some veterans even found positions to seize the beach.
Boss Yang is sitting on the deck of the Nautilus in the distance. In order to appear more formal today, he even put on his zombie costume. Speaking of which, this is the first time he has worn an official uniform, wearing dragon scale armor underneath.
The zombie costume also made me bulky and round, making me look rather tiger-like and wolf-like.
The Marauder next to him was also prepared. Cannons were aimed at the Daku Fort, and poison gas bombs were ready. Of course, it was not containing mustard gas but benzyl chloroacetone, although this thing was also lethal.
, but it is much worse than mustard gas, mainly because of its tear-inducing effect.
The small steamer Wang Wenshao rode on the inland river could only run a little more than ten knots. O'Connor's car was the latest model from the American Young Motor Company. It used a four-cylinder gasoline engine and could travel over 50 kilometers on dirt roads at the fastest speed. He arrived almost at the same time as Wang Wenshao.
Arriving at Dagukou, we immediately boarded a small boat arranged earlier and boarded the Nautilus directly.
At this time, Wang Wenshao also led the soldiers to the fort.
"Take it!" He pointed at Yuan Shikai and said, and the soldiers behind him immediately stepped forward and tied up Yuan Shikai. Brother Big Tou looked at O'Connor who had boarded the Nautilus in the distance, and said with a smile: "Master Wang, I didn't know that I was committing a crime."
What crime?"
Wang Wenshao glanced at him and said expressionlessly: "You disobeyed orders on the battlefield and returned home against orders."
"Master Wang, where do you start with these words?" Yuan Shikai said, pretending to be surprised.
"Weiting, it's really not your fault what happened to Japan. Frankly speaking, it is really difficult for you to surrender to the enemy in the event of victory, but the imperial court has its own laws, so you don't have to worry too much. The main responsibility for this matter does not lie with you.
You are also a loyal and good person, I will excuse you." Wang Wenshao said sincerely.
"Sir Wang, I really don't understand what you are talking about. I only know that we are returning to the country and coming to the capital with an order. Is it wrong to follow the emperor's imperial order?" Yuan Shikai said with a grim smile.
Wang Wenshao was so excited that he immediately understood that this pool of muddy water was much deeper than he thought. Maybe it was a real whirlpool. He subconsciously raised his head and saw Yang Feng holding a man on the black boat in the distance.
The yellow thing waved towards him like a show off, but at this time he still didn't understand what was going on.
This guy was also cunning and cunning, and made his choice almost instantly.
"Hurry up and let go, Wei Ting, why didn't you tell me earlier?" He said reproachfully. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
