Super dictator.

In Gaiping City, Wei Jichen took over the telegram from Tianjin, glanced at it, and heaved a sigh of relief. It was the telegram just sent by Li Hongzhang: It makes sense, but if you don’t resist, it may affect the morale of the front line. After resisting, they left the port to fight the Japanese fleet to the death.

The telegram said it was leaving Hong Kong for a decisive battle with the Japanese, but the subtext was actually to retreat.

Li Hongzhang was afraid of affecting the morale of the front line, which is even more nonsense. It is estimated that he was afraid that if he left without firing a shot, the court would blame him.

In Wei Jichen's view, rather than being captured by the Japanese and eventually used to aid the enemy, it is better to break out of the siege. Even if the entire army is wiped out, it is better than falling into the hands of the Japanese.

Thinking of the results of many days of hard work, Wei Jichen couldn't help feeling agitated, and finally changed another major event.

"My lord, the commanders-in-chief of other armies are already waiting for you at the door." Seeing Wei Jichen standing still with a smirk, Wang Huaiqing couldn't help reminding him.

"Oh, they are very active." Wei Jichen calmed down and said calmly.

Today is the day that the commander of the Yi army, the old white-haired general Song Qing, entered the city. Song Qing's life can be regarded as worthy of the reputation of an upright soldier. In the Sino-Japanese War, his Yi army was still useful. People like Liu Shengxiu's Ming Army are too corrupt to fight.

Later, Song Qing was stationed in Lushun, and Russia rented Lushun to station the navy. The Qing government allowed him to order Song Qing to move to the Shanhaiguan Pass. The Russian official Du Basufu paid a visit to him and wanted to buy Song Qing's camp through bribery. Song Qing refused and demolished it. camp away.

When the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China, he also led his troops to resist, so he is still remarkable as a general, and he is much more upright and brave than other generals in this era.

But now that Song Qing is here, Wei Jichen's position is a bit awkward. Needless to say, Jiang Guiti is still part of the Yi Army, and even Ma Jinxu and Xu Daobang are Song Qing's old subordinates.

"Let's go, I'm going to meet this well-known veteran too." Wei Jichen led his troops away with a smile on his face.

On the road leading to Gaiping, Song Qing was riding on the horse with a worried expression, beside him were his confidants Ma Yukun, Song Desheng and others.

Seeing his worried face, Song Desheng couldn't help asking curiously: "Master, after many days of marching, Gaiping City is already in sight, why are you unhappy?"

Song Qing really couldn't be happier, he had just received a secret order from the Military Aircraft Department not long ago, asking him to pass an order to dismiss Wei Jichen from his post as Assistant Military Affairs Officer, and to stay in the camp to see what happens later.

Not to mention that Wei Jichen was the first general to recover the city of Liaodong after a series of victories, so he couldn't do it.

Even if he succeeds, he doesn't know if other people Wei Jichen will overreact. With Wei Jichen's current reputation, Song Qing is really afraid that he will be upset, and he will obey his orders from now on, which will cause the two armies to fight internally and let the Japanese stand guard. Fisherman's profit.

The excellent situation in Liaodong, which has not come easily, will be destroyed by this telegram?

However, Song Qing did not dare to disobey the decree and resist the order. Although Song Qing did not get the exact news, the telegram was sent in the name of Minister of Military Aircraft Sun Yuwen. Sun Yuwen was the celebrity in front of Lafayette. , it seems that this matter is directly related to Lafayette.

Song Qing sneered at Wei Jichen's charge of murdering his colleagues in the telegram. He was in Liaodong, so he knew the matter well. It is not an exaggeration to kill someone who violates military orders.

Ma Yukun guessed what Song Qing was thinking, and asked tentatively, "My lord, could it be because of Wei Jichen's dismissal?"

Ma Yukun knew that his younger brother Ma Yujiao had a close personal relationship with Wei Jichen, so he couldn't help but worry about Wei Jichen.

Song Qing nodded helplessly and said: "I don't know that Wei Jichen offended the minister in the court. The court ignored the situation in the Liaodong war and punished him for meritorious service. I'm afraid it will arouse the dissatisfaction of the soldiers. Before the Japanese have retreated, our own people have already started fighting with each other." Criticized, alas, alas, alas!"

Song Qing repeatedly shook his head and sighed.

"My lord, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. We'd better wait until we see Wei Jichen before discussing it. What's more, the subordinates think it's a good thing. As the saying goes, two tigers can't fit in one mountain. When my lord arrives in Gaiping, the coach can't be made by two people." Take charge, otherwise there will be no chaos, Wei Jichen dismissed his post to see the effect, and my lord will just be able to twist the army into one, so it will be beneficial to the next battle?"

Song Qing was silent for a while, before he opened his mouth and said: "Wei Jichen is a young man, I am afraid that he will not accept his heart, and the orders of this old man go in one ear and out the other."

"Your Excellency, you don't need to worry. I learned from Yujiao's letter that this Wei Jichen is humble and respectful, and has always taken care of the overall situation." Ma Yukun couldn't help but relax when he heard that Song Qing was worried about this.

Song Qing said nonchalantly: "You don't know about Yukun. For a talented person like Wei Jichen, the more humble he is to others, the more it shows his inner pride. His humility is because in some To be dismissive of things, if it goes against his nature, it must be the wrath of thunder."

"Okay, as long as you know this matter well, you don't need to mention it anymore. You see, the young man in the middle should be Wei Jichen." Unknowingly, Song Qing and others had already rode their horses to the gate of Gaiping City Yes, Song Qing has already seen that a young man leading a group of generals is coming out at the gate of the city far away.

Song Desheng and the others kept their mouths shut and stopped talking about the matter, with faint smiles on their faces, and following Song Qing's pat on the horse's back, they sped up and galloped away.

Song Qing rode his horse not far from the gate of the city, got off his horse, handed the mount to the soldiers, strode forward, and walked quickly with a smile on his face.

After walking not far, he took a rough look at the appearance of the young man in front of him, but he saw that the young man's face was like the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, his color was like the flowers of spring dawn, his temples were cut like knives, and his eyebrows were like ink paintings.

When walking, it is full of vigor, and when it stops, it is like an old tree with roots. It does not have the frivolity of ordinary young people, but it also retains some youthful vigor.

Before Song Qing could open his mouth, Wei Jichen had already saluted the younger generation first, and said with a smile: "Shuai Song came from a long way, and the younger generation will welcome you from afar, so I'm disrespectful and disrespectful."

Song Qing took a step forward, held Wei Jichen's arms warmly, and said with a smile: "Where there, Zijie will welcome you in the city. I'm lucky. Now Zijie's reputation has spread throughout the Qing Dynasty. This is the old man." I am also very impressed, there is no one worthy of fame, and seeing him today, he really is a wise general."

Everyone exchanged greetings at the gate of the city for a while before they walked into the city unhurriedly.

Along the way, Song Qing saw that Wei Zijun's army was in order, and the gravel and rubble after the war on the street had been cleared away. From time to time, he would meet one or two civilians looking out curiously in the room, and couldn't help thinking Secretly marveling, he did not expect that within a short period of time, the original order in Gaiping City would be restored.

Then secretly looked at Wei Jichen, and saw that he had a smile on his face from the beginning to the end, without any expression of impatience.

This young man is not simple. It seems that the Military Aircraft Department really gave me a problem.
