Super dictator.

"You said that Colonel Hishishima has led a mixed detachment to attack Gaiping, and he has been away for two days?" Daji Anchun stood up at once. I don't know if this is good or bad news. www

Daji Anchun walked back and forth in the room for a few steps. When the captains next to him were about to get impatient, he stopped abruptly, raised his hand, and said quickly: "Send a telegram to the Commander to explain The situation here, two, the whole army is assembled, we are going to support the mixed detachment."

"Hi Yi!" Several regiment captains responded and were about to turn around and leave.

There was a rush of footsteps outside the door.

"It's not good, it's not good. The mixed detachment was defeated by the Chinese army at the gate of Gaiping." The Japanese messenger came in from outside.

"What!" Several Japanese people shouted in unison.

Dasi Anchun was shocked and asked: "Why did the mixed detachment lose so quickly?"

The messenger didn't even dare to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and quickly replied: "Master Hishishima fell into the trap of the Chinese. When the mixed detachment attacked Gaiping City with all its strength, a Chinese army lurked aside and launched a surprise attack. The mixed detachment The army was completely defeated, and Colonel Hishijima is rushing back with the rest of his troops."

Dasi Anchun slumped back on the chair, and continued to ask after a while, "How about our army's losses?"

"The mixed detachment has lost half of its horses!" The signal soldier knelt down on the ground, not daring to lift his head.

"Hey, Bi Zhijun, my order just now is invalid. The whole army is on alert and ready to defend." Daji Anchun waved his hand weakly and ordered.

"Hay!" Several Japanese generals responded weakly.

After the prime minister's yamen replied to Li Hongzhang's telegram that "one point of profit is one point", Prince Gong and others were all ashamed, and Minister of Military Aircraft Xu Yongyi went to the Summer Palace again to tell Cixi about the situation in detail.

Cixi was originally very dissatisfied with the terms, but when she heard that the Japanese had assembled more than 60 transport ships to invade Tianjin at any time, she still couldn't muster up the courage to fight the Japanese again, and said nothing, which was regarded as acquiescing to this result.

All the central ministers of the Qing court are now waiting for the treaty to be passed back after Li Hongzhang and the Japanese negotiated again. They hope that Li Hongzhang can create a miracle, and maybe he can win a share and a profit.

"There's a telegram, there's a telegram." An official from the Telegraph Bureau quickly walked into the prime minister's office with a telegram.

The atmosphere in the Prime Minister's Office was very dull. Prince Gong coughed twice, and asked Sun Yuwen next to him, "Isn't there still two days left in the deadline given by the Japanese? Li Hongzhang soon thought about how to make the Japanese give in a little bit and sign the contract early." Why?"

Sun Yuwen was also puzzled and said: "Li Hongzhang is indeed too hasty."

If the treaty was not signed, the ministers of the central government still had some thoughts in their hearts. They dreamed that Li Hongzhang would do his best to turn things around. Once signed, there would be no other way but to break the contract.

"My lord, it's a telegram from Liaodong." The official of the telegraph bureau said anxiously after saluting, sweating profusely.

"A telegram from Liaodong?" Several central ministers surrounded him without knowing why.

Prince Gong took the telegram, put on reading glasses, and read it carefully.

On this day, almost at the same time, Wang Wenshao, the acting Beiyang Minister of the Tianjin Governor's Mansion, and several Wang ministers from the Prime Minister's Yamen in the capital received an urgent military telegram from Liaodong, signed by Song Qing, Wei Jichen, Nie Guilin and others.

"Today's Japanese general Nishi Kuan Erlang died for some reason, and the Japanese framed him as being wounded by our army. Using this as an excuse, 5000 troops suppressed the border. Luckily, he saw the opportunity early and attacked in time to defeat the Japanese army, killing and wounding more than [-] Japanese pirates. Today I heard that the treaty of the Japanese peace talks is harsh, unprecedented in ancient and modern times, and unheard of in Huayi. Uh, my throat, control my life, and block my road to self-improvement. I pray that the emperor will be arbitrary. Don't approve the treaty. Order the king and minister Let's discuss again, and the ministers are willing to sacrifice their lives to serve the country with the best soldiers in the world, and the outcome is still unknown! How can you talk about ceding land and paying compensation?"

This telegram caused a thousand waves with one stone.

After the content of the telegram was circulated, it caused a great sensation. Guangxu received ten seals that day, including four from Jianyuan, one from Guozijian, two from Imperial Academy, one from Nanfang, and two from Shangfang. Jointly, a total of 120 performers.

None of the contents of the memorial quoted Liaodong's telegram at the end, 'The outcome is still unknown!He Yan ceded the land and paid compensation. '

Guangxu read this telegram more than ten times in a row, saw so many memorials with one voice, and thought of the harsh terms of the Japanese treaty, he also had the idea of ​​recalling Li Hongzhang and fighting again.

This incident alarmed Cixi in the Summer Palace, and immediately summoned Guangxu and Prince Qing Yikuang.

"Outside public opinion tends to recall Li Hongzhang to continue the fight. Song Qing and others also achieved a great victory in Liaodong. Should the fight continue?" Although Cixi is strong, she has no idea now. Most courtiers even think that The terms of the Japanese contract were too deceptive, and the public opinion demanded another fight. If they violated the public opinion, they would lose their hearts.

Prince Qing Yikuang said hastily: "The Song Qing telegram is unclear. He said that more than 5000 Japanese people were killed and injured. There is no real number for how many Japanese people were killed, and he did not report his own losses. He said it was a great victory." , It is too early to say. The Military Aircraft Department has already sent a telegram to Li Hongzhang. According to the slaves, there is no need to recall Li Hongzhang, and the Japanese may be more relaxed. "

Guangxu knelt down and said, "Dear father, the outcome is not yet known. The frontline soldiers still have the heart to fight. The Japanese are too bullying. Why don't you move the capital westward and fight the Japanese again."

Cixi thought for a while and asked: "What did Liu Kunyi and Wang Wenshao say, are they sure to fight again?"

Guangxu quickly replied: "Emperor Huang has already issued an order to the two commanders, asking them to reflect on the overall situation and whether the various military wars are reliable, and express their opinions. I think they will call back in a short time."

Cixi waved her hand and said, "In this case, wait until they call back before making a decision."

Shimonoseki, Japan, Meifang, the residence of Ito Hirobumi.

Ito Hirobumi gave Li Hongzhang three days, and tomorrow is the deadline. He sat on the tatami with a cup of tea on the table, feeling very refreshed.

Just now Wu Tingfang came to him to inquire about the news, to see if there is any room for Japan to make concessions.

Ito Hirobumi frightened him and said: "I am afraid that the war will start before the truce expires. If we discuss and change the terms of the agreement again, and deliberately delay, we will break up according to the agreement in the truce, and this agreement will be terminated."

Wu Tingfang was so frightened that she immediately went back.

Let's see if Li Hongzhang dares to agree tomorrow.Our Great Japanese Empire has already made an offensive posture, presumably the Qing Dynasty dare not fight anymore.

"Ito-kun, Ito-kun, another big event happened in Liaodong." Mutsu Munemitsu hurried in, disturbing Ito Hirobumi's clear dream.

"What big event can happen in Liaodong?" Ito Hirobumi sat up straight and asked curiously.

Mutsu Munemitsu raised the telegram in his hand, and said in a depressed mood: "Our army has fought against the Qing army in Liaodong, and our army has suffered a disastrous defeat with a lot of losses. Your Excellency Dashanyan has already gone to Liaodong to preside over the overall situation."

Ito Hirobumi gulped down the tea in his mouth, picked up the telegram and looked at it in disbelief.

"This Hishishima Yoshiki, how could he be so careless, if he wants to fight, he can win. Has anyone found out who did Nishi Kanjiro's death?" Ito Hirobumi had no choice but to think about how to clean up the mess.

"The murderer was not caught, but according to Daji Anchun's report, some soldiers had seen the murderer, and the portrait he drew was somewhat similar to Wei Jichen's after recalling, but unfortunately there is no conclusive evidence." Lu Ao Zongguang frowned. It's a bad mood.

"It's this Wei Jichen again, who has ruined the empire's good things several times, and the peace talks may have changed." Ito Hirobumi sighed helplessly.
