Rebirth of the Northern Giants

The guards of the Governor's Mansion broke out from the back door, and they were indeed attacked by the soldiers of the Wu Yi Army. No one escaped. Under the attack of the soldiers of the Wu Yi Army, the guards were defeated and either surrendered or were wiped out. At around five o'clock in the morning, the sky was slightly bright, and the battle was basically over. The field has been cleaned up.

Ye Zhikui got the news that the governor's mansion had been captured, and hurriedly transferred the command center here.

"What? There's no news about Rong Lu yet!" Ye Zhikui felt a little disappointed. If Rong Lu, a big fish, escaped, the impact would be greater.

"Ye Shuai, according to the captives, Rong Lu did not break out with them at that time, but went somewhere alone."

"Then Ronglu must still be hiding somewhere in the mansion. Even if we dig three feet, we must find him no matter whether he lives or dies."

"Yes, Shuai Ye!"

It didn't take long for Wu Dashan to come here with a face of ecstasy, but there was something inexplicably weird in this joy.

"Ye Shuai, we found Rong Lu's body."

"Is Rong Lu dead? Bring him here."

Wu Dashan suppressed a smile and said, "Ye Shuai should go and see for himself."

Seeing Wu Dashan's weird smile, Ye Zhikui became interested, and followed him to the place where Rong Lu died.

This, Rong Lu's death is a bit too creative, like a tortoise, Ye Zhikui sighed secretly, Rong Lu was a loyal dog in the Qing Dynasty, and this dilapidated city wall is like a crumbling Great Wall. In the Qing Dynasty, Rong Lu could not afford the collapse of the dynasty after all.

Ye Zhikui stretched out his hand, and with a light push, the city wall came crashing down. Ye Zhikui lost his mind, waved his hand and said, "Put him in the ground for peace."

Looking at the torn apart body of Rong Lu, Wu Dashan had a headache.

Volume Two, The Situation of the Capital, Chapters One, Two and Five

After the death of a generation of traitor Rong Lu, although in Ye Zhikui's view, it was nothing, just the death of a relatively famous person, but looking at it from top to bottom in the Qing Dynasty, the situation is completely different, and the news has not yet come from The news spread in Tianjin, but all the officials in Tianjin City were shocked when they heard the news.

Who is Ronglu?The governor of Zhili, the minister of military aircraft, the confidant of Lafayette, these characters, even if they are at war with foreign countries, after the Qing Dynasty loses, he will be safe and sound. Of course, because all the dead are frontline soldiers, after the war , they can continue to eat, drink and have fun, riding on the heads of others to be domineering, but now everything is different when they meet Ye Zhikui. Ye Zhikui doesn’t care whether you are a first-rank or super-rank official in the court, you should do what you should do, and you should kill. , no mercy, so everyone has to weigh carefully which side to fall to.

The war did not end after the capture of the Governor's Mansion, but just began. The results of this battle were also counted soon. Wu Yi's army came by surprise and attacked suddenly, with little loss, while Rong Lu's cronies died in battle. 500 people, and other miscellaneous people also died more than 1000 people.

Tianjin City finally regained its calm after midnight gunfire. The red ribbon masked army that appeared last night disappeared without a trace before dawn. It seems that the grand occasion that appeared last night was just an illusion. The shop and the tofu shop in the west of the city also opened their doors one after another. People who came to buy tofu and ironware still greeted the store with smiles. It seemed that nothing had changed. Only this family of three knew everything. They are not floating clouds, they are just lurking, waiting for the next call, the next eruption.

Ye Zhikui was busy dispatching troops. According to the plan in advance, after Wu Yi's army captured the governor's mansion, they would leave a large part of the army to fight against the Gan army and the Xinjian army, and the rest of the troops would quickly enter Beijing. However, now Yuan Shikai's new army was defeated by Ye Zhikui. They sent people to take over, but they were almost annexed by Wu Yijun in disguise. Yuan Shikai continued to be imprisoned in the governor's mansion, but was not released by Ye Zhikui. The crime was: betraying the emperor and seeking glory.

Yuan Shikai burst into tears: Nima, Ye Zhikui, you don’t play like this when you play people. If you want to raise an army, tell your brother earlier, I will definitely work with you. It doesn’t matter if you are your little brother. It’s only a day, brother It's already turned into a human being inside and out, Ye Zhikui, brother hates you forever,

Ye Zhikui didn't care what Yuan Shikai thought. As soon as the battle in Tianjin was over, he ordered Wu Dashan to gather more than a thousand cavalry troops from the Wu Yi Army and the New Army. Immediately rushed to the capital, seized Andingmen, and cleared the obstacles for the subsequent arrival of the army, while Tianjin Wuyi Army was ready to dispatch the army before noon, and at the same time ordered Feng Guozhang, Duan Qirui, Shandong Wuyi Army to enter Tianjin immediately, Before the arrival of reinforcements from all over the country, support the Tianjin Wuyi Army.

The distance from Tianjin to the capital is two to three hundred miles, and it takes two days at full speed. When Dong Xiangfu was in Xinjiang for two days and one night, he led his troops to gallop for more than three hundred miles to defeat the enemy. Arrived in the capital between days.

Ye Zhikui warmly welcomed Dong Fuxiang who knew the current affairs and came to join him. He signed a letter of guarantee and sent a certificate of nomination. Temporarily maintain law and order in Tianjin, and crack down on speculators.

Not long after Wu Dashan set off, Ye Zhikui received the news from the capital that the emperor had indeed been abolished by Cixi and imprisoned in Yingtai, and the capital had been panicked. Comparing the two, no one would dare to say Ye Zhikui's secret edict It's a false edict.

Ye Zhikui thought about the matter of raising troops in Tianjin and could not hide it from Cixi for too long, so he simply let go of the upright vote and raised the banner of justice. After Yan Dunyuan and Yang Du received Ye Zhikui's order, they should follow Ye Zhikui The call to arms in history has written an eloquent call to action against Yehenala:

Yehenala, the pseudo-dynasty, was not docile in nature, and the land was cold.She was actually one of the first emperor's concubines, who persecuted Zhongliang, bowed her knees to foreigners, was envied by gods and men, and was not tolerated by heaven and earth.He still hides evil intentions and steals artifacts.Actually, the current emperor is secluded in another palace; the clan alliance of thieves is entrusted with important tasks.Shouting for more than [-] years, the land is cut off every year; the honorary name is sixteen characters, and every word deceives the sky.

I Zhili Admiral Ye Zhikui, the blessed general of the country, Zhi'an Sheji.Because of the disappointment of the world, Shun Yunei pushed his heart, and according to the emperor's secret decree, raised the flag of righteousness to clear away the evildoers. (When you read the novel, you will go to Ye Zi·you~you)

The war horse neighed in the north wind, and the spirit of the sword rushed straight to the stars in the sky.The warrior's roar caused the mountains to collapse and the sky to change color, so as to control the enemy, how can the enemy not be destroyed?How can we not succeed in this attempt?

……

Please see who owns the world in today's domain

Ye Zhikui wanted to criticize Cixi in public opinion first, and called on governors from all over the country to join him in resisting the rule of the old woman Cixi.

Protect the emperor and sue the court.

Let yourself be able to stand firm. When it comes to the news war, Ye Zhikui estimates that a dozen Cixi are not Ye Zhikui's opponents. Ye Zhikui sent this essay together with the emperor's secret edict to newspapers everywhere. I believe that in two days, the whole world will probably be boiling. .

At that time, no matter how the governors of the provinces react, I believe there will be some people who oppose it. When they agree, Ye Zhikui believes that the big thing has been decided.

Ye Zhikui still refused to give up, and then asked Yang Du to write a letter of persuasion, and asked officials from the Zhili area of ​​​​Tianjin to sign and pledge on it, persuading Cixi not to be greedy for power, let the emperor go, and abdicate on his own.

All the officers and soldiers of Wu Yi's army performed their duties, and immediately calmed down the chaotic Tianjin. Ye Zhikui had already sat in the big seat of the supervisory office to handle military affairs, which was usually occupied by Rong Lu.

"Ye Shuai, Li Zhongtang is here" the confidant whispered in his ear.

Li Hongzhang finally came, and Ye Zhikui sighed in his heart, he had already been mentally prepared, whether it was a breakup or something else, it was up to his lord Zhongtang.

Ye Zhikui stepped down from his seat and greeted him personally at the door. Not long after, he saw Li Hongzhang appearing not far away with a few of his followers.

Just as the personal guards were about to go forward to search, Ye Zhikui waved his hands and shouted: "Master Zhongtang will still be unfavorable to me, a junior, step back quickly!"

Hearing this, Li Hongzhang's complexion improved slightly, and after entering the hall, he signaled everyone to go out, leaving only him and Ye Zhikui.

"Congyun, you are so ambitious, I still can't believe you did this." Li Hongzhang began to scold Ye Zhikui.

Ye Zhikui shrugged his shoulders, and first showed Li Hongzhang the secret edict given to him by Guangxu and the telegram from the capital this morning, and then asked a little lonely, "Old Zhongtang, if you are a kid, what should you do?"

After yesterday night, Li Hongzhang saw that Wu Yi's army had completely become Ye Zhikui's private army. Overnight, he seemed to have seen through Ye Zhikui, and asked an unexpected question: "So what if the soldiers from the cloud sent the capital to save the emperor?"

"What else can I do, support the emperor and implement new policies." Ye Zhikui said casually.

Li Hongzhang pressed on and asked: "The old man and you are very clear that the emperor does not have this ability, so would you really help the emperor from Congyun?"

Ye Zhikui smiled awkwardly and said, "I'll talk about it later, now I'm just going to Beijing to kill treacherous ministers and save the emperor."

Li Hongzhang stared at Ye Zhikui for a while, sighed pretentiously, and said: "In the past Zhang Peilun advised me why Li Hongzhang would not fight against the Qing Dynasty, but the old man refused. Do you know why?"

Ye Zhikui was startled, he never thought that Li Hongzhang would have thought about overthrowing the Qing Dynasty before, and he was still confiding in himself today.

Seeing Ye Zhikui's surprised expression, Li Hongzhang smiled calmly and said, "This old man was more powerful than you in the past, and you have such thoughts now, why can't I?"

Ye Zhikui asked anxiously: "Then why didn't the Zhongtang implement it in the end?"

"If you have to do it, you can't do it. One is that the Huai Army and the Hunan Army were restrained by Lafayette in the past, and Lafayette was kind to me; the other is that the old man is getting old and less ambitious. Now you You are blessed with good health and strong body, and Wu Yi is the only one in the army, no one in the world can suppress it, if you don't have such thoughts from Congyun, I am afraid that even this old man will be disappointed in you."

"Zhongtang, kid..."

Li Hongzhang waved his hand to stop him and said: "You don't need to say much, I can already see your thoughts clearly, the old man just hopes that you will think carefully about how to go in the future, the current imperial court exists in name only, and the governors in various places hold the power and do what they want It's like the princes at the end of the Han Dynasty, but the army in their hands is slightly less. I don't want you to cause chaos in the world and give outsiders an opportunity to take advantage of it. I hope you can find a good way to gradually increase the military power of the provinces. Get it in your hands and think about other things."

"Zhongtang, the boy has been taught." Ye Zhikui said sincerely.

Li Hongzhang was a little lonely, he was greedy for power, and thought that after Cixi stepped down, he might not be reused, Ye Zhikui said: "There is one more thing, I hope Lao Zhongtang will help me."

"What's the matter?"

"I hope Li Zhongtang can sign the letter of persuasion that I just made, and when the book is spread all over the world, Zhongtang's reputation will be even higher."

"If I don't sign my name, I'm afraid you won't let it go. Anyway, let me, Li Hongzhang, be a loyal and patriotic person, and make a good impression on the emperor in advance."
