Super dictator.

Wei Jichen was happily thinking about buying some cannons, but he didn't know that an undercurrent started to rush towards him.

In Ximucheng, the brigade head of the 3th Brigade of the 5rd Division forced Shang Min to put down the telegram in his hand. After many days, his heavy heart finally eased a lot.

After the news of Wei Jichen's annihilation of most of the 3rd Division came, the biggest shock was Ximu City. The Japanese army in the city was in constant panic, fearing that Wei Jichen would lead the troops to attack.

In those few days, Osako Shangmin was living like a year, and he kept asking the commander of the 1st Army, Nozu Michinuki, for tactical guidance.Nozu Dōsuke is also considering whether to withdraw his troops from Ximu City.

Fortunately, it was not long before Wei Jichen turned his horse around and the army went south to attack Gaiping. Shang Min, who was relieved, was preparing to rectify the situation, but received news: Li Guangjiu's 5th Battalion of the Old Hunan Army, Wei Guangtao's The 6th Battalion of the Wuwei Army, a large army pressed towards Ximu City, ready to take advantage of it.

Although there are only 6000 people on our own side and [-] to [-] people on the enemy side, Shang Min is not afraid of Dapu. As long as Wei Jichen doesn't lead the troops to attack him, he has the confidence to defend the city.

But the secret telegram from the base camp arrived in time, asking him to defend Ximu City, and after killing and injuring the attacking Hunan army as much as possible, he contacted Li Yunfei in Haicheng, expressing his willingness to withdraw from Ximu City and handing over Ximu City to him.

Kawakami Cao Liu is beginning to drive a wedge between Wei Zijun and the Hunan Army.

Others can't take this city with all their efforts, but Li Yunfei only needs to send someone to take it over. No matter who it is, there will be resentment in his heart.

At the same time, Yuanzhi Shandi, the head of the 1st Division in Jinzhou, also received a secret telegram from the base camp, asking him to spread the news: he is willing to cease fighting with Wei Jichen's Wei Zijun, and through negotiations, the surrounding area can be negotiated. A small city was handed over to him.

Kawakami Caoliu's last move, the most vicious one, is to use spies in China to buy some newspapers in China and start advocating for Wei Jichen.

At this time, most of the newspaper offices in China were run by foreigners. They heard that someone funded their newspaper office, and they just wanted to publish a few articles praising Wei Jichen. How difficult is that?

And some Chinese newspapers who didn't know why saw the article praising Wei Jichen, didn't think much about it, and prepared to publish it.

If Wei Jichen knew about this, he would definitely shout, "This is fucking flattery."

Of course, there are also smart people among them.

For example, Lin Zhixing, the person in charge of the Beijing branch of the "Wan Guo Gong Pao", Lin Zhixing has now become a die-hard fan of Wei Jichen, since he learned that Wei Jichen not only did not die, but instead joined the Japanese to reverse the situation in Liaodong in World War I.

It was as if he had found a lighthouse in the dark sea. If he were a woman, he would have thrown himself into Wei Jichen's arms immediately.

Lin Zhixing has collected all the big and small stories of Wei Jichen, and even plans to send people to Tianjin to visit Wei Jichen's hometown Jinghai, interview Wei Jichen's relatives, and then write an article about Wei Jichen's experience before becoming famous.

On this day, Lin Zhixing picked up the newspaper issued by the headquarters that Qian Jiazhi had just sent, and the entire main page on it turned out to be about Wei Jichen, so Lin Zhixing couldn't help reading it carefully.

This article first counts the results of Wei Jichen's previous battles. It's nothing. Lin Zhixing read it with great interest. He didn't expect that someone would count how many Japanese Wei Jichen wiped out in each battle, and even the small Japanese officers among them could count clearly clearly.

Lin Zhixing sighed in admiration while continuing to read.

Looking at it now, his complexion changed a bit. This is a bit too much praise. Lin Zhixing saw this sentence: Wei Jichen is the most outstanding general of the Han nationality since the founding of the Qing Dynasty. Admire him, adore him, be willing to die for him.

The following also describes how the sergeants of Wei Zijun were brave and willing to die for him: In the battle of Yushubao, Wei Jichen's 2000-strong Wei Zijun was besieged by more than 6000 Japanese people. The army has erupted with the greatest blood since the war.

From time to time, the officer of the rear battalion, Cheng Buzhi, fought bravely and shouted loudly before he died: General Wei treats us like brothers. Now that General Wei is in danger, how can we not repay this kindness and take the life of General Wei with our own lives? .For a time, the morale of the soldiers in the rear battalion was greatly boosted, and everyone sacrificed their lives to repay General Wei for his kindness, promotion, and care. In the end, they repelled dozens of Japanese pursuits and made great contributions to breaking through the encirclement.

In the same battle, the sentry officer Zhao Hu also shouted "Soldiers die for those who know each other" and led more than 100 soldiers to rush to the Japanese position, and finally broke through the Japanese defense line, allowing Wei Zijun to retreat calmly.

Alas, there are many heroes in China, Wei Jichen is resourceful, brave and good at fighting, and loves soldiers like a son, so of course he can win consecutive battles.

How can the current court be comparable to General Wei?

All the children in Liaodong know that General Wei has three tigers under his command, one is the white-faced tiger Li Yunfei, the other is the black-faced tiger Zhang Meng, and the third is the red-faced tiger Zhao Hu.

General Wei's good generals are like clouds, and fierce generals are like rain. Why worry that China cannot withstand the Japanese attack, why worry that China cannot defeat Japan, and why worry that China cannot catch up with the great powers and rise again.

Such a word suddenly appeared in Lin Zhixing's mind--high meritorious service.

"Jiazhi, when is this newspaper?" Lin Zhixing called Qian Jiazhi who was walking out, and asked anxiously.

Qian Jiazhi turned around and replied with a smile: "Editor Lin, this is the newspaper issued by the headquarters this morning. It is estimated that it has already been sold all over the street. What's the matter? Is there any problem?"

Lin Zhixing sat slumped on the chair when he heard the words, and muttered to himself, "What should I do? General Wei didn't die at the hands of the Japanese, so why should he be destroyed at the hands of his own people?"

Lin Zhixing didn't know that the newspapers published in the "Wan Guo Gong Bao" were really nothing compared to those published in other newspapers.

"Shenzhen" was jointly established in Shanghai in 1872 by the British businessman Meicha and his friends. It is also a very influential newspaper in China.

On this day, "Shenbao" published an article written by British military strategist Wallace. At the beginning of the article, he praised Wei Jichen as the most outstanding general in the Far East. After laying the groundwork, Wallace strongly praised Wei Jichen's theory of protracted warfare, thinking that Wei Jichen is not only an outstanding general, but also a rare strategic master and a powerful politician. The war between China and Japan will never be analyzed so thoroughly from the economic, political and military strengths of China and Japan.

Wallace said that he was deeply impressed by the talent of this famous Far East general, and was willing to make a mediation request to the British government as an intermediary, hoping to end the Sino-Japanese war as soon as possible and save the people of the Far East from the flames of war.

Afterwards, newspapers run by Americans in China and newspapers run by Germans in China published articles specially written for Wei Jichen by a certain celebrity in their own country, all of which were based on facts, and then vigorously promoted Wei Jichen, claiming how much he admired him .

These newspapers made efforts at the same time, and immediately praised Wei Jichen as a famous general in the Far East, the number one general in the Far East, the most powerful strategist in the history of the Far East, and the most promising Chinese in the West.

As if overnight, Wei Jichen became a world celebrity, but this Wallace, Dreiser, etc., no one will find out whether he is British or German.

Newspapers run by foreigners, articles signed by foreigners, can this still be false?

The Chinese have been oppressed by foreigners for a long time, and they hate and fear foreigners, and there is even a little bit of xenophobia in it. Now, when they hear that even these foreigners are bowing down to Wei Jichen's talent, the whole of China suddenly It boiled up.

After seeing the newspaper, countless ordinary people who didn't know why, they all gave a thumbs up and said that General Wei was great, and Wei Jichen's reputation spread throughout the entire land of China, causing countless people to admire him.

The news that Wei Jichen led the troops to take back Gaiping added fuel to this phenomenon. Some ordinary people with relatives in Liaodong even set off firecrackers at the door to celebrate Wei Jichen's recovery of lost land, which was criticized by foreign newspapers. Scholars from all over the country also regard Wei Jichen as the great savior of Liaodong, and believe that in Liaodong only Wei Jichen has the ability to turn things around, so they asked the governors of all provinces and even the central government departments to ask Wei Jichen to be promoted to an official and let him command all departments. Lu Dajun fought in Liaodong.

The wishes of the scholars were beautiful, but their requests were very naive, not knowing that they had caused Wei Jichen a lot of trouble.

In the capital, at Prince Rui's mansion, Zai Yi squinted his eyes half-closed, lying comfortably on the recliner, surrounded by a few beautiful maidservants who squeezed his back and beat his legs, and occasionally put a snack into his mouth.

Zaiyi lives a life like a fairy, but he doesn't have much power in his hands, which makes him feel that life is not fulfilling.

"Beauty, give me a smile." Zai Yi lazily opened his eyes, stretched out his hand, lightly touched the high breasts of the beautiful servant girl who put the snack in his mouth, and said with a lewd smile.

"My lord, I'm not coming anymore, you're molesting the little maid again." The beautiful maid resolutely rubbed her chest against Prince Rui, and said coquettishly, the expression on her face was one of reluctance, clearly she was about to refuse. shy look.

Zaiyi saw that his index finger moved wildly, and his hands slowly penetrated into the clothes of the beautiful maid, and said with a smile: "It seems that you haven't been punished enough by the master last night."

The other beautiful maidservants all looked envious, and quietly surrounded them.

"I'm afraid my master won't punish me." The beautiful maid who was being touched looked at Zaiyi with watery eyes like peach blossoms, and said coquettishly.

Zaiyi was about to get lustful, and was about to pick up his gun and go up, but someone outside the door shouted that someone begged to see him.

Zaiyi's good deed was interrupted, and he couldn't vent his anger, so he reprimanded him in a bad tone: "You dog slave, don't you see that my lord is busy?"

The servants outside the door hurriedly reported flatteringly: "My lord, the person who asked to see me brought a small gift, so the servants dare not disturb your interest."

Although the servant's words were very cryptic, Zaiyi would not be able to hear it. He must have brought a lot of money to ask for an interview, otherwise the servant would not dare to offend himself.

Thinking of this, Zaiyi's mood mostly improved, she straightened her clothes a little, coughed twice and said, "Let him in."

"Yes, my lord." The servant hurried down.

Zaiyi sat upright with a serious face, and several beautiful maidservants stood behind him pretending to be dignified. This Zaiyi will be a good official in later generations, because the inside and outside are the same, and he is too good at pretending.

Not long after, a bannerman in a long robe and mandarin jacket walked in with his head bowed and led by his servants.

"My lord, my servant Yin Nineteen, you have to decide for our banner people." As soon as Yin Nineteen saw Zaiyi, he knelt on the ground and shouted loudly with tears in his eyes. His sad look really smelled sad and listened to it. crying.

The servant took the opportunity to walk up to Zaiyi, took out the silver from his pocket, and quietly handed it to him.

Zaiyi glanced at it secretly, good guy, there are tens of thousands of taels.

This time, he turned into the appearance of the Black Bread Lord, and asked solemnly: "You are actually our bannerman, why do you want to see this king because of your injustice?"

"My lord, this servant is the distant cousin of General Fengsheng Afeng. The son of this servant serves under General Feng. He has made a lot of contributions with General Feng's expedition to the north and south. Who would have thought that the bad news came not long ago, and this servant His son did not die in the hands of the enemy, but Wei Jichen found a random excuse to kill him. The poor boy is only in his twenties and has not yet married a wife and had children. I am afraid that there will be no more slaves." Yin Shi, the banner man While wiping away tears, Jiu narrated in anguish.

It turned out that it was about Wei Jichen, Zaiyi pondered inwardly, and asked curiously: "Since you are Feng Sheng's cousin, didn't Feng Sheng make the decision for you?"

Zaiyi never cared about frontline affairs, so he was not very clear about Feng Sheng'a's death of donating sperm for the country.

Yin Nineteen was even more sad when he heard this, and said with tears streaming down his face: "I originally thought the same way, but I didn't expect that General Feng would die inexplicably afterwards, and I have no one to call the shots anymore. He has always been kind and generous, and he always likes to fight against injustices. He is the savior of these helpless bannermen like slaves, so the slaves have the courage to come to the lord. My lord, please be the master of the slaves. Wei Jichen is ruthless and ruthless. At that time, I was a small general who dared not to take our banner people seriously, and it will be fine when I have full wings in the future."

Zai Yi accepted the silver, and heard the bannerman speak so bitterly, all of them were aroused by him, that's right, Wei Jichen is just a slave of our Manchurians, and he dared to act so boldly, indiscriminately Killing us bannermen at will is truly despicable.

"Don't worry, this king will go to the palace to report this matter to the Queen Mother. You must let the Queen Mother make the decision for you. You should go back and wait for the news." Zai Yi said with a gloomy face.

"Thank you lord, thank you lord." Yin Nineteen kowtowed several times before slowly retreating.

After walking out of Prince Rui's mansion, Yin Nineteen touched a stack of bank notes in his bosom, and couldn't help but smile. There was a sad look there just now. His identity was real, and the one who died in Wei Jichen's hands was really him too. Son, it's a pity that he has many sons, and he can take care of them one by one.

Just the day before yesterday, a friend who was said to be his son's former friend found him, and tearfully told how Wei Jichen brutally killed his son, and then left a large sum of money, saying that as a close friend, he wanted to save his son. Revenge, let yourself move.

It's really money falling from the world, don't don't want it for nothing, and the man said how miserable his son died and how wronged, Yin Jiudang even hugged his son's friend and cried, vowing to repay his son for this. A sea of ​​blood and deep hatred is coming.

Therefore, Yin Nineteen immediately thought of several money-grubbing princes in the capital, and Prince Rui Zaiyi, who was Cixi's niece-in-law, was his first choice.

After watching Yin Nineteen go out, Zaiyi dressed up and prepared to go to the palace to ask Cixi to see Cixi, and to use other people's money to do things for others, so that the money will come in abundance later.

At this time, Cixi in the Summer Palace didn't need Zaiyi to sue her, she was already displeased with Wei Jichen.

She was sitting on the Diaolongjinluan chair, and the table in front of her was filled with information about recent events in the capital. As the most powerful person in the Qing Dynasty, she couldn't hide any troubles in the capital.

Li Lianying stood aside with her head bowed, not daring to make a sound, but Cixi lost her temper just now, as can be seen from the broken vases in the room.

"What a No. 1 in the Far East." Cixi said in a dignified manner without anger.

"Lafayette, everyone is flattering him. How can Wei Jichen compare to you?" Li Lianying calmed down a little after seeing Cixi lose her temper, and expressed relief on her face.

"Why can't you compare with me? Look, even the British, Americans, and Germans are saying good things about him. In this China, who else is as famous as Wei Jichen?" Cixi was really upset, she Being humiliated by foreigners time and time again, yet Wei Jichen is admired by foreigners, doesn't this indirectly mean that her Cixi is even worse than Wei Jichen?

"Lafayette, Wei Jichen made such a small contribution, without your support, would he be able to succeed?" Li Lianying didn't say this, but when she said it, Cixi's anger rose again.

She said in a cold voice: "Support from the Ai family? The credits here are all hidden from the Ai family. What kind of support is the Ai family? It's all made by him. Look, the soldiers under Wei Jichen only know that there are Wei Jichen didn't know there was an imperial court, and they didn't even think about whose salary they were getting, could it be Wei Jichen's? It was from my Qing court."

"Lafayette, do you want to?" Li Lianying asked cautiously.

Cixi snorted coldly, and said unhurriedly: "Raising a tiger will eventually cause trouble. The Ai family will let him disappear quietly before he becomes a climate."

Li Lianying rolled her eyes, and said worriedly, "Wei Jichen has made some contributions, if he is moved now, I'm afraid."

"Don't worry, Aijia won't be so stupid to move him now, not to mention that he is still needed to deal with the Japanese in Liaodong. However, Aijia can't let him continue to grow, so let him hang out for a while until the limelight passes. Aijia's killing him is not as easy as killing a small ant." A cold light flashed in Cixi's eyes.

"Great Lafayette!" Li Lianying had to admire Cixi's strategy.
