1890 King of Southeast Asia

"Nanhua has entered Cangzhou. The prefect of Cangzhou gave a brief resistance and then abandoned the city and fled. The northernmost peak of Nanhua's army reached Dacheng, less than a hundred miles away from Tianjin."

"Dengzhou Prefecture was defeated step by step, and many cities surrendered. Some evil people took the opportunity to cause chaos, fanning the flames everywhere, and even fought... under the banner of restoring China."

"Nanhua temporarily stopped the attack for unknown reasons."

"The governor of Shandong is mobilizing 14 patrol battalions in the territory to set up defenses along the route of Nanhua's march, but due to the lack of new troops and the inability to recover lost territory, he requested the assistance of the new troops."

Shandong originally belonged to the sphere of influence of the Beiyang, and there were Beiyang new troops stationed there, so there was no training of new troops alone, and there were still a large number of training troops and brave battalions in the territory.

But in the several wars in the north, I took the lead every time, defending Shanhaiguan tightly, and not only transferred the stationed new troops, but also transferred the capable training troops and brave battalions.

The remaining capable training battalions were reorganized into patrol battalions, a total of 14 battalions, with less than 10,000 people and no heavy weapons.

In other words, at this time, there were only 14 light infantry battalions in this province that could fight.

They were scattered around the capital, trading ports such as Yantai, and the Yingde Concession, and were also responsible for maintaining local public security. Their forces were very dispersed, and they were almost defenseless to the outside world.

Therefore, the South China Marine Corps and the Army each had a brigade, which added up to more than 10,000 people, and the divided troops attacked with great force.

Telegrams for help were sent out like raindrops, but... the reaction of the Qing Empire was very strange.

"This war is urgent. If we are not careful, perhaps the owner of the Golden Palace will be replaced."

"At this critical moment, the court needs to work together to turn the tide. The court... will not let you down!" Prince Qing observed the expressions of the officials.

"Some words may hurt your dignity, but you should think about it carefully. Who allowed you to stand in the Golden Palace?" Zaifeng added, looking at Lord Yuan.

Lord Yuan lowered his head, listened expressionlessly, and did not comment or pay attention to the discussions around him.

"That is, can Nanhua give you so many positions? Not to mention more, the Nanhua cabinet has been established for so long, and there is already a mature system. Even if some shameless people voted for it, can they be in high positions?"

"I think, at most they will be given a title and confined. Moreover, Nanhua directly taxes property, and officials cannot be exempted from taxes. I am afraid that all ministers..." Zaixun has become a die-hard anti-Southern faction under the influence of Kenji Matsubara during this period.

"Enough!" Zaifeng shouted, interrupting Zaixun's spell.

If Zaixun continues to say this, he will expose the officials' past. How will it end then?

"Sir Yuan, the Third Regiment has arrived in Dacheng for a whole day, why is it so reluctant to move forward?" Zaifeng asked.

Tang Shaochuan's negotiations failed, and Zaifeng only found the "firm" support of the Japanese, but Nanhua didn't seem to care about Japan.

The British and French ambassadors always responded ambiguously. Zaifeng thought for a long time and found that public opinion was boiling, so he decided to fight.

This court meeting was mainly to discuss how to fight, who would fight, what are the benefits, etc.

"Reply to the Regent, the Third Regiment fought fiercely with the enemy in Dacheng for a day and a night, not to mention the heavy losses, the logistics and supplies were exhausted, and I am stepping up to collect and replenish them." Sir Yuan raised his head and replied.

"Dacheng is less than 100 miles away from Tianjin, why does it take so long to replenish?" Zaifeng wanted to nod, but Zaixun jumped out and questioned.

Sir Yuan took away his position as the Minister of the Army, which made Zaixun very unhappy.

After all, losing the powerful department of the Army basically means that he has done something wrong, which is very embarrassing.

"Replying to Prince Ning, it is not about transportation capacity. Since this year, our country has organized eight regiments of new troops and allocated a lot of weapons and supplies from the Beiyang warehouse. After the war, Beiyang recruited new soldiers to make up for the losses, and the inventory of weapons has been basically exhausted."

"Not only Tianjin, but also Beiyang has places with surplus weapons and ammunition, only Shanhaiguan and Lushunkou, these two places cannot be moved. This old minister has sent letters to Shuyue and other places, and the supplies will arrive soon. When the supplies arrive, the front line will launch an attack."

Mr. Yuan looked passive and unwilling to work.

He was not entirely right. At least Tianjin and Baoding Prefecture had some weapons and ammunition in stock, but these things were not recorded. As long as Nanhua did not infringe on his core interests, he would not use them.

"Shuyue? When they arrive, I'm afraid Nanhua will kill them in this Golden Palace, right?" Zaixun looked at Mr. Yuan viciously, with a hint of pride in his eyes.

"That's not necessarily true. There are four garrisons in the capital, four more around it, and one more in Shanhaiguan. It's more than enough to stop Nanhua for a while." Lord Yuan lowered his head.

"Ridiculous! I am great..." Zaixun wanted to say something excitedly, but was interrupted.

"Enough!" Prince Qing shouted with full energy.

"The most urgent task is to organize troops and gain a certain advantage on the battlefield. Of course, don't anger Nanhua too much, and then consider negotiations."

"Leave the negotiations to Lord Tang. Lord Yuan needs to spend more time on military affairs."

"End the war as soon as possible, establish a constitution as soon as possible, and discuss the establishment of the cabinet after the war!"

Prince Qing said three sentences in total, setting the tone for the entire war and post-war development. No one, including Lord Yuan, objected.

Didn't you see that Zaifeng had no objection?

After the court meeting, Prince Qing took Zaifeng and Lord Yuan to discuss war-related matters.

"Registration king, you are not doing this incident, how can you not prepare the guns and ammunition, how much can you be prepared? How much is there in the Jingshi arsenal, take it first."

"There is also Gong Bao. Now the imperative is to curb the arrogance of South China. It is not time to start the offensive as soon as possible when the Samuchu and two jujube."

"Except for the third town, what is the transfer of troops from the rest of the place?"

Prince Qing came up to play fifty boards each, and then exposed it.

"The old minister has ordered Fengtian and Shanhaiguan to divide the ammunition in the warehouse evenly. Today, you should be able to leave, and it will be available tomorrow. Then you can attack again." Essence

"The weapons in the Jingshi arsenal are used to defend the Beijing division ... wait for me to send someone to see it, and make it out." Zaiyu did not have such a good face, and the naked eye was reluctant.

"Lord Ning and the regent king have called on the north of the new army stationed in Liangjiang, and they have entered Shandong, and they can reach the front line."

"But the old minister believes that this battle can not fight without fighting, it is best not to take the initiative to attack, or to build defense."

After speaking, Prince Qing couldn't nod.

Zaiyu looked at the two, thinking about it, and did not oppose it.

"But if you don't fight, how can you win? If you do n’t win, how can you let South China know the difficulties?" Zai Yan asked.

"Well ..." Prince Qing glanced at Zaiyu and watched to Master Yuan.

Master Yuan stood up helplessly and arched his hands against Zai.

"Master of the Regent King, we can't defeat this time, but we can't win. Nanhua only sent 10,000 people, and the activities were limited to the Sanfu place, but they were venting dissatisfaction.

If you really hit it and hit the real fire, causing heavy casualties, then we would not be able to end.

The reason is that we are unreasonable. We have to deal with South China and have to bear the burden of humiliation! "

Zai Yan was silent after hearing.

The Qing Empire and Nanhua have formed an economic symbiotic relationship. South China has a large number of industrial investment in the Qing Empire and directly supports millions of people. If Nanhua withdraws from capital, these people will lose their livelihood and will be confused.

If the Qing Empire wants to develop, it cannot be turned around at all.

"Lord, the chief of the church, the chief of the church." As he said, the slave of Prince Qing was brought in by the eunuch and gave him a letter.

Prince Qing opened the letter in doubt, his face changed greatly, and then threw it to the two.

"Nanhua is adding troops. It seems that they are iron -hearted to let us pay for the contract!" Prince Qing said anxiously.

"Otherwise, what's the touch of wealth? 300 million silver!"

"Still to fight for it, the regent of the regent, the newly built eight towns in the five towns except the two rivers and one town, the remaining four towns were led by Tieliang. What do you think of it?" Prince Qing looked at Zaiyu.

The biggest difference between men and women is the biggest difference. No matter what time, men have an abstract perception of numbers, and women sometimes think that it is a number.

Of course, of course, it does not matter if a non -centralized country.

"Tieliang ... Okay! After this battle, I hope that Feng Tieliang will be General Fu Yuan, the palm of the palm of the palm of Mongolia, and the Mongolian affairs." Zaiyu considered it.

Prince Qing Duancha's hand stopped, and Master Yuan showed a joy.

‘There is no amount of people in the regent, it’ s not my blessing! ‘

‘This is not threatened, just confused. ‘

"The Mongolian ministry does need to be tuned well. The Russian Empire often picks things on the grassland. At that time, let Tieliang take a town and guard Mongolia!" Prince Qing nodded.

"Wang Ye, Master Wang, and ammunition?" Master Yuan took the initiative to transfer the topic. Of course, he also wanted benefits.

The Qing Empire sold the arsenal of poorly operated to South China. The remaining production capacity was only a few hundred thousand of various caliber bullets. It was not enough, let alone the shells.

Inventory ammunition? I just finished playing with Japan, and hadn't had time to store it. He didn't pay much attention to it. Well, South China is very efficient.

"Can I buy ammunition from Japan?" Prince Qing thought for a while, as if it could not be resolved.

"No, Japan uses a 6.5 mm rifle bullet, and South China is a 6.8 mm rifle bullet." Master Yuan shook his head.

"There are still some in the arsenal, and the first two million are issued. In addition, it was sent by the Northeast. The inventory of Shandong and the army should be able to fight for a while." Zai Yan said generously.

"That's it. The three towns and five towns in Beiyang are nearby. With the four towns led by Tieliang, there are six towns. Millions, nodded.

In his impression, there were a lot of two million bullets, and it was defensive.

But in fact, the six towns are about 96,000 people and two million bullets. They can be divided into more than 20 shots. Maybe the rifle may be able to play for an hour? The machine gun fired a few points.

Master Yuan opened his mouth, and finally said nothing.

In this battle, the four towns led by Man Gui are the main force.

At this time, it is not good for yourself. If you make it clear, maybe Prince Prince changed his mind and let Beiyang be the main force.

For some reason, the three of them all tacitly agreed that the war would be confined to the three prefectures of Shandong, and did not think about what would happen if the war expanded...
