After Liu Hai gave these instructions, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. This time he wanted to set the stage throughout the Qing Dynasty and create his own world in this broader world.
Liu Hai let out a long breath and continued to give instructions to the lieutenant general below, "Pass my order, the Japanese Army will mobilize all its troops. In addition to the current main divisions, it will once again increase its strength so that the total number of divisions will reach
30."
At this time, Lu Chun, the governor of the Japanese Kingdom who was standing below, hurriedly stood up and said: "I will obey the commander-in-chief's order. I will make arrangements immediately after I return, and I will never miss the commander-in-chief's affairs."
Liu Hai nodded, and then said: "The Japanese 1st Division cannot be transferred back from Malaysia. The remaining six divisions will be transferred to North Korea for me."
Liu Hai said this and thought again with his eyes closed, and continued to give instructions, "I remember how many divisions I asked you to train in the past few months? Can these people be used now?"
"Reporting back to the Commander-in-Chief, these people have been trained and are capable of fighting."
"Okay, then organize these people into six divisions, and transfer three of them to North Korea as a reserve force. The other three divisions will let them stay in Japan in order to suppress those with evil intentions."
"yes."
Liu Hai waved his hand, asking Lu Chun to step aside, and then continued to give instructions: "The Japanese Navy has not yet received two battleships, and only has a few light and heavy cruisers under its command, which cannot compete with the Rakshasa Pacific Fleet."
Liu Hai said here and looked at Liu Yu who was standing aside, "Send an Iowa-class battleship to join the Japanese United Fleet and cooperate with the Japanese United Fleet to go north for a decisive battle with the Rakshasa Pacific Fleet."
"I will obey the command of the commander-in-chief and I will do it when I get back."
Liu Hai then said: "The 600,000 Hunan troops under my command are divided into two groups. Liu Zhi leads 300,000 troops from the land to the north and goes straight to the capital. Any obstacles along the way will be annihilated."
When Liu Hai said this, he looked down again, and finally his eyes fell on Liu Lu.
"Where is Liu Lu?"
"The last general Liu Lu is here."
"I will leave you with more than 100,000 Hunan troops. I want you to guard the two rivers and not let the enemy take advantage of the situation."
"The general will obey the commander-in-chief's orders."
Liu Hai nodded at this, then turned around and said to Zhao Chuanren, the staff beside him: "Sir, please stay by Liu Lu's side and make suggestions for him."
"Yes, I will obey the commander's orders."
Liu Haidaoji nodded, and then continued with a deep look: "Liu Zhi's Northern Expedition is on land, but it has been a long time, and I am afraid that the emperor will suffer disaster. I will personally lead the Nanyang Navy and 200,000 Hunan troops to reach Dagukou, Tianjin, and fight
And determine the world."
After Liu Hai finished explaining his combat strategy, he looked at the lieutenant general and staff below, and then asked: "Everyone, if you see anything wrong with my deployment, feel free to say it."
The generals below looked at each other and didn't think there was anything wrong with Liu Hai's arrangement.
Liu Hai saw that they had nothing to say, so he stood up, slapped the table and said to the people below: "In this case, if you can go back and prepare immediately, we will swear an oath in Nanjing in 10 days."
Just as Liu Hai finished saying this, he heard a government servant outside and ran in quickly.
As soon as he entered the lobby, he knelt down in front of Liu Hai's table and reported, "To inform the Governor, there are imperial envoys outside, and I request the Governor to go out to greet him immediately."
After hearing this, Liu Hai couldn't help but reveal a playful smile. He gently sat back on the big seat and said to the Yamen below: "I don't know about any imperial ministers. I only know that the emperor is imprisoned. Now everyone
All the imperial edicts are chaos."
After Liu Hai said this, he said to Liu San who was standing aside: "Go and bring this imperial minister to the lobby. I want to see who dares to falsely pass on the imperial edict."
Liu San got Liu Hai's words, turned around and left the Datang Hall. After a while, there was a commotion outside the lobby.
Immediately afterwards, Liu San came in with a dozen or so guards and several people in official uniforms.
When these officials entered the lobby, they only saw the generals gathering there twice, and their hearts trembled.
These people who went south to deliver the order this time were actually unlucky people. Those who really had some connections would not accept this job at all.
When Liu Hai saw these people entering the lobby, he slapped the table and shouted at them: "The emperor has been imprisoned, so why is there an imperial edict? Please explain to me. If you say it well, I will spare your life. If you say it badly, it's just right."
Sacrifice the flag to my army."
When Liu Hai yelled at the top, the two tied officials below were already frightened like chaff.
One of them, who was more courageous, knelt down a few steps forward and kept kowtowing to Liu Hai, "Master Liu clearly knows that this is the decree passed down by the Queen Mother, and we did not pretend to pass it on."
"Hmph, the Empress Dowager has long returned to the throne of the Emperor, and now she suddenly spreads her decree to the world. What does this mean?"
"My lord, the emperor is seriously ill and is recuperating in the palace. Now the empress dowager is temporarily in charge of the affairs of the court."
Liu Hai was noncommittal now and said to the people below: "Then what is the message from the Queen Mother?"
After listening to Liu Hai's question, the official looked at each other a little bit. However, when they met and there was no boat, Liu Hai tied them up. If he knew that the decree was to remove him from all official positions and demote him to a commoner, then he would not want to give up his and others'
life.
Liu San, who was standing next to the two officials, saw that the two of them were not replying. He was so angry that one of them stepped forward and gave them a slap. Then he pulled a yellow cloth package from the back of one of the officials and took out the contents inside.
The imperial edict was then handed to Liu Hai's case.
Liu Hai took the imperial edict, opened it casually and took a look. After reading it, he sneered.
"Hahaha, it's really the most ridiculous thing in the world. The demon queen imprisoned the emperor and seized the power of the court. Instead, she called me a traitor and wanted to demote me from my official position."
After Liu Hai finished speaking, he threw the Shengzhi in his hand to the ground, "This is the Demon Queen's arbitrary order, and I refuse to obey it."
"Pull these two people out and put them in a cell under strict supervision. Once I succeed in the Northern Expedition, the emperor will make a decision."
After listening to Liu Hai's order, Liu San immediately pulled the two officials out and locked them directly in the dungeon of the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion.
On the second day after the meeting, Zhao Jiahua wrote a message for the Northern Expedition, which was then disseminated throughout the country via telegram.
The general meaning of this memorandum is that the Empress Dowager Cixi is a demon queen who has abolished the government, imprisoned the emperor, and is good at killing ministers. Liu Hai, the current governor of Nanyang, followed the emperor's secret order to go north to King Qin. The knowledgeable people in the world should carry a pot to congratulate her.
This message soon spread throughout the Qing Dynasty, but the gentry and officials also had their own opinions on Liu Hai's Northern Expedition to the Qing Dynasty.
However, most people think that Liu Hai is a treasonous person. Therefore, Liu Hai has suffered a great loss in the prestige accumulated over the years of fighting in the north and south.
And Liu Hai didn't care about these people's opinions. He now believed that he had a strong army, numerous elite soldiers under his command, and was well-equipped. He simply didn't think that these people's opinions could shake his advantage.
Following the publication of Liu Hai's message, the Empress Dowager Cixi in the capital also received the news.
Although the Queen Mother was a little scared, she also expected this result, so she was afraid but did not panic.
Empress Dowager Cixi ordered people to go to the Rakshasa Kingdom's embassy and ask the Rakshasa Kingdom to fulfill the agreement.
The Minister of Rakshasa Kingdom, Kuman, did not have any excuse and issued an announcement in the name of Rakshasa Kingdom that day.
In the announcement, the Rakshasa Kingdom condemned Liu Hai as a rebellious minister and traitor, and warned Liu Hai to stop his troops immediately, otherwise, the Rakshasa Kingdom would never see its friendly neighbor being violated.
Then the Rakshasa Kingdom's envoy was full and sent a telegram to St. Petersburg, reporting the current situation in the Qing Dynasty to the king.
After receiving the news from the envoy to the Qing Dynasty, the King of Rakshasa Kingdom was immediately overjoyed. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Now I can finally realize my wish and establish a Yellow Russian Rakshasa region.
So the king immediately issued an order to the garrison in the Far East, asking them to immediately cross the border and assemble towards the capital of the Qing Dynasty.
This time Nicholas II issued a secret order to his garrison, requiring them to occupy the three eastern provinces first and then decide whether to enter the customs based on the situation.
Following Nicholas II's order, the Russian army on the northeastern border immediately crossed the border and advanced toward the northeast.
Liu Hai's side also quickly received news that the Russian army had entered Northeast China, and now Liu Hai is no longer prepared to hide it.
He immediately ordered Lu Chun to lead more than 100,000 Japanese troops from the 2nd to 6th divisions to cross the Yalu River and request them to resist the attack of Rakshasa soldiers in the northeast.
Next, Liu Hai ordered Liu Yu to immediately lead the 300,000-strong army in the Northern Expedition without waiting for the oath of battle, thus sharing Lu Chun's pressure.
After receiving Liu Hai's order, Lu Chun immediately led the Japanese division and headed north from the Yalu River to Shengjing.
This time, because the distance was very close, the Japanese division led by Lu Chun could be said to be very fast, and it only took a few days to reach Shengjing City.
However, Shengjing City is still an undefended city. By the time the Qing garrison in Shengjing City discovered that the enemy troops had arrived at the city gates, it was already too late to resist.
After several hours of fierce fighting, Lu Chun led the Japanese army to occupy Shengjing City without suffering any losses.
You must know that Shengjing is of great significance to the Qing Dynasty. It is the Shengjing of the Qing Dynasty and its companion capital.
The occupation of this place was a very heavy blow to the Qing Dynasty.
After the Qing court received the news, the Manchu nobles were all heartbroken, as if they were mourning their heirs.
One by one, either pretending or feeling really sad, they all came to the Forbidden City to request Empress Dowager Cixi to immediately send troops outside the customs to recapture Shengjing.
However, Empress Dowager Cixi refused to comment on these demands, because she knew very well that the Japanese troops outside the Pass were just Liu Hai's partial troops. The real power was the Northern Expeditionary Army heading north from the two rivers.
As for matters in the Northeast, we can only leave them to the soldiers of the Rakshasa Kingdom.
In the view of the Empress Dowager Cixi, although the dwarfs of the Japanese country could defeat the weak soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, they must be vulnerable to the real powers, the soldiers of the Rakshasa Kingdom.
