Chapter 1001 What are you afraid of? It’s all about me!
Author: proud and iron heart
"Now that the president has taken office, he should immediately exercise the powers of the president. I think we should immediately send people out to contact Shengjing, and at the same time invite Yili, Xining, Kulun and other places to send troops."
The old man who used to be coaxed around by Wang Danwang for only three thousand taels, and who did not hesitate to wipe the butt of the chief minister with the dignity of governor, became the president of the coalition, as if he had taken the elixir of youth, not only the whole person's energy and spirit became
It is very different from before. He is at least ten years younger, and his military ability and political wisdom have also improved several times.
"Swish, swish, swish" saw an increase.
"This should be like this here, and that should be like that over there, and then we all will be like this, and in the end it will be like that."
While Lao Le was enthusiastically making comprehensive arrangements, Mr. Lin, the staff member in charge of the mailroom, quietly entered the meeting place and then made a gesture to the Governor that was incomprehensible to outsiders, indicating that he had something important to report.
"What's up?"
Lerjin waved his hand to Mr. Lin and said directly that there are no outsiders here, and he will be called His Excellency the President from now on.
Moreover, he had just taken office, and he was too embarrassed to go down and listen to the report quietly in front of the representatives of the three major frontiers.
Master Lin hesitated for a moment, then went out and told the latest news he had received.
It was Guiziliu who led the army on the Eastern Expedition, who severely damaged the Manchu and Mongolian coalition forces outside the Pass in the Daling River area, captured Shengjing General Hong Sheng, and Heilongjiang General Fu Yu, and has now occupied Shengjing.
"What?!"
The officials present and the president, Lao Le, were shocked and speechless by the news. Although the Eight Banners outside the Pass only had more than 30,000 people, it was still too surprising that Guiziliu's puppet army defeated Hongsheng so quickly.
All forces are paying attention to this war, and most judgments are that the war will not be decided until at least May or June next year. Therefore, Li Shiyao, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, decided to unite all parties and take advantage of the main force of Guiziliu's puppet army to be defeated.
The Eight Banners outside the Pass seized this favorable opportunity and went straight to the capital.
In this way, even if the Japanese army wins outside Shanhaiguan, it will be blocked by the coalition forces outside Shanhaiguan and lose its base.
But he never expected that Na Hongsheng would be defeated before the coalition forces were launched.
Shengjing was occupied by Guiziliu, which meant that there was basically no major war outside the pass. Therefore, the main force of Guiziliu's puppet army could return to defend the capital at any time. This was very disadvantageous to the coalition forces, especially the Northwest Group closest to the capital.
.
There was a lot of discussion in the audience. Fu Zengge, Kuilun, Jiang Lan and others were all talking among themselves, discussing the impact of the fall outside the pass on the eight-province coalition's march north to fight against rebellion.
Bi Yuan, Shaanxi Academic Affairs Minister Xia Mingqiu and other northwest officials also whispered.
The order at the venue was a bit chaotic.
The atmosphere of unity and positivity just now has been obviously weakened.
Lao Le was still able to hold it down, so he hummed slightly and said to everyone: "Don't worry, the Eight Banners outside the Pass are originally soldiers and horses left behind, and their military strength and combat effectiveness are not comparable to those inside the Pass. Moreover, Hong Ye is a clan dandy.
, has always been incompetent, so it is not surprising that he was defeated by the Japanese Sixth Column. However, even if the Japanese Sixth Column occupied Shengjing and captured Guanwai, it was not enough to change the situation. In the current situation, the advantage lies with me."
In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Lao Le analyzed that the main force of the Japanese Sixth Army could number up to 100,000. The rest of the troops in Henan, Shandong, Hubei, Sichuan, Jiangsu and other places were either the original green camp, or were composed of recruits and prisoners, and their combat effectiveness was not the same.
not tall.
Adding them all up, the Japanese army is worth 200,000 men.
As for the Eight-Province Allied Forces, there are three armies with more than 70,000 soldiers in Shaanxi and Gansu provinces alone, and more than 20,000 soldiers in Shanxi. If Yili, Xining, Kulun and other places can respond, 300,000 to 50,000 people can still be gathered. In this way,
There were nearly 150,000 people from the Northwest Army alone.
Thirty thousand troops are available in Yunnan and Guizhou. It should not be a problem to mobilize 20,000 troops in Guangdong and Guangxi. Ten thousand troops in Fujian can always be recruited. If each province recruits heavily, it is definitely possible to gather 100,000 available troops.
In this way, the coalition forces are not weaker than Guizi Liu's Reform Army in terms of military strength, and although Guizi Liu's territory is large, it must be defended everywhere.
Although the coalition territory is also scattered, as long as all parties are determined and launch the attack as planned, they will have an absolute advantage locally.
When several local advantages come together, that is the overall advantage.
Such a huge advantage.
"In short, in a fight against rebellion, I have the advantage!"
Lao Le ordered the officials present to eliminate the negative factors caused by the fall outside the customs. After careful analysis, the officials found that what the president said was very reasonable and factual.
At this time, a piece of good news came.
The governor of Zhejiang, Wang Danwang, sent a telegram to the whole country, announcing the independence of Zhejiang and establishing a military government!
"good!"
Lao Le was overjoyed. Wang Danwang was worthy of being his loyal partner. He actually took the lead in firing the first shot against Guiziliu. He was worthy of being a talent that Lao Le valued.
"Zhejiang's shot was a good one. It was a wonderful shot. It not only turned our eight-province coalition into a nine-province coalition, but it also hit Guiziliu in the heart and between his arms!"
Yang Mingyang, the chief envoy of Shaanxi, described it very well. If Zhejiang declares independence, Fujian's soldiers and horses can join forces with Zhejiang to march towards Jiangsu. As long as water transportation is cut off, what will the Japanese do to support the puppet court?
The situation instantly reversed from 50-50 open to 73-70 open.
The Allied Forces are seven, and the Reform Army is three.
A fierce fighting spirit rose into the sky above the Governor's Yamen, causing the sky and the earth to change color.
Thousands of miles away in Fuling, the eastern suburb of Shengjing, Jia Liu was enjoying a poem.
The poem says:
"Li and Du's poems have been passed down by thousands of mouths, but they are no longer new.
Talented people have emerged from generation to generation, and each has led the way for hundreds of years."
The person who wrote this poem was Zhao Yi, the prefect of Guangzhou who was removed from the first prize by Qianlong for no reason. However, this poem was specially written by Zhao Yi to the Sixth Emperor of the Reform.
"There are talented people from generation to generation, and each has led the way for hundreds of years. Well, good poetry, good poetry!"
Lao Ji, who accompanied His Majesty the Emperor on his inspection of Fuling, was full of praise for Zhao Yi's works and was not jealous at all, because he was the one who recommended Zhao Yike to His Majesty the Emperor as a candidate for war.
"It's a good poem, and it suits me very well."
Jia Liu also liked this poem very much. He immediately asked someone to bring his big seal and small seal, and stamped on the poem scroll with "Baba". Then he asked Lao Ji: "Is Leerjin becoming the president?"
"
"Um."
Lao Ji nodded. He had just received news that the four governors of Fujian and Zhejiang, Guangdong and Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou, and Shaanxi and Gansu had united to attack His Majesty the Emperor, and recommended Leerjin as the president.
After hesitating for a moment, he still said: "I have a question in my mind, I don't know whether I should say it or not?"
"Say it."
Jia Liu put the big seal and his personal seal into a treasure bag and handed them over to the attendant who was responsible for keeping the emperor's seal.
Lao Ji boldly expressed his doubts, that is, he did not understand why His Majesty asked Zhao Yi to unite those governors and create a nondescript president.
According to his understanding, it seems that anyone can be the president.
Therefore, even if His Majesty does not want to be the master, there is no reason to give the title of President to Lu Erjin, a loser.
"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid of spoiling the game? Today Leer will be the president, and tomorrow Zhao Qian, Sun Li, and Zhou Wu and King Zheng will also become president. What will your Majesty do?"
Lao Ji was very worried.
Jia Liu said with a smile: "What are you afraid of? I am the emperor, and I am the president; I am the protagonist, and I am also the supporting actor; I am the upright person, and I am also the villain; Aixinjueluo is me, and Zhao Qian and Sun Li are me.
