Super dictator.

On the same day, Guangxu asked Liu Kunyi and Wang Wenshao if they were sure they would fight again.

The next day, Wang Wenshao and Liu Kunyi replied to the Prime Minister's Office successively.

Sun Yuwen, Minister of Military Aircraft, took the lead to take a look, and saw that Wang Wenshao's reply was roughly: "If Admiral Song Qing, Nie Shicheng, Wei Jichen, Commander Zhang Gaoyuan, Chen Fengqi and other military camps communicate with each other, we will surely be able to fight. Whether the available generals are reliable or not, I cannot make assumptions. It is a matter of overall safety, so I should ask the Minister of Military Aircraft, the Supervising Military Affairs Office, and the Prime Minister's Office to make a comprehensive discussion and make a decision. The minister and Liu Kunyi discussed everything in Tangshan yesterday, and their opinions are general same."

Seeing this, Sun Yuwen immediately entered the Forbidden City with a telegram, met Guangxu in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and said: "Your Majesty, what do I say? Wang Wenshao is still not fully sure."

Although Wang Wenshao's tone was a little uncertain, it seemed that he was still inclined to fight again, and the Chinese never said anything to death.

But in this way, once Sun Yuwen interpreted it, it changed.

Later, Liu Kunyi's reply also came: "We can fight, but it's hard to see the bluntness."

Liu Kunyi meant to fight again, but who could guess the outcome of the war in advance?

Sun Yuwen grasped the latter sentence, and said to Guangxu: "Even Liu Kunyi is not really sure."

Nima, this is a war, not a show. Who dares to slap their chests to guarantee that they will win. Everyone else Liu Kunyi has said that it is possible to fight. Why do you turn a blind eye?

Then Wang Wenshao sent another urgent telegram, saying that the Japanese fleet bombarded Dagukou, destroyed two forts, and caused more than [-] casualties.

The wreckage of the Beiyang Fleet was able to be preserved because it hid in the port.

Yikuang, Duoduo, Xu Yongyi, Sun Yuwen and other central ministers were even more frightened when they saw this telegram, and they increasingly disagreed with Guangxu's recall of Li Hongzhang.

After Li Hongzhang's telegram arrived in the evening, Prince Gong, Prince Qing and others were overjoyed and urged to seek peace.

Because the indemnity above the treaty was reduced by almost half, it was already within the range they could bear in their hearts, and the Japanese made some concessions on some minor details, so they directly ignored the cession of Liaodong and Taiwan.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, this is the biggest concession made by the Japanese. In order to avoid any regrets, I believe that Li Hongzhang should be ordered to make a deposit in time, and then exchange the contract as soon as possible." Sun Yuwen looked anxious, as if his country occupied a lot It seems cheap.

"Yes, Your Majesty, there is no certainty in war, but peace is sure. Taiwan, a barren land, can be cut off without hindrance. In the land of Liaodong, only a few cities such as Lushun, Jinzhou, and Fuzhou were ceded to the Japanese. Most of them It’s still in the hands of our country, it’s all right, after our country has made great efforts to govern and rectify military affairs, it can be taken back.” Duoduo persuaded, knowing that Guangxu was unwilling, so he left his tail, saying that he would plan big things after he made great efforts to mobilize his troops.

Yikuang exaggerated his words, talking about the dire consequences after another war, saying: "The Japanese have already occupied less than half of Shandong, and they can go north at any time. The Japanese fleet is eyeing the waters outside Tianjin. It is unfortunate that the Japanese have given up the land they actually occupied in Shandong." Fortunately, there is no need for more wars, if Gaishi falls to Zhili and loses more territory, it will be too late to regret."

Yantai, Shandong is a treaty port stipulated in the Sino-British Tianjin Treaty.The Japanese didn't dare to provoke the British, so they didn't mention the cession of Shandong. Yiqiang put gold on his face, saying how kind the Japanese were, and how much effort Li Hongzhang and others had gone through.

Even though Guangxu was unwilling, these central ministers tried their best to force him to seek peace, and he had no idea. Guangxu himself was not a man of great talent and strategy, who could make decisions arbitrarily.

Seeing that Guangxu remained silent, Yikuang and the others knew that he had already agreed in their hearts.

Yikuang then continued to lobby and said: "Your Majesty, the Japanese side will strictly investigate the assassination case of Xikuan Erlang, saying that Wei Jichen was involved in this matter, lest the Japanese use this as an excuse to cause things to change again, and the slave thinks that Wei Jichen must be recalled quickly , Let him leave Liaodong to avoid the limelight."

Guangxu's face darkened, and he said displeasedly: "Wei Jichen is a meritorious minister. He won such a favorable situation for us just now in Liaodong. Is it because of a word from the Japanese that he must be punished now? I can't do it." , if I do it, I will be a faint king, and the people in the world will probably accuse me secretly."

Yikuang hastily denied it and said: "Your Majesty, the meaning of the slave is not to punish Wei Jichen. Your Majesty recalling him is a kind of protection for him. The Japanese will definitely make this matter smaller and smaller. Your Majesty cares about him, but It is decreed that Wei Jichen will return to his hometown first, and then he will be exhibited in the imperial court, rewarded with riding horses in the Forbidden City, and bestowing treasures to show his favor. People all over the world will definitely praise him."

Guangxu said with some concern: "If the Japanese break the contract and offend Liaodong again, without Wei Jichen, who can stop it?"

Prince Gong was surprised and thought to himself: This Wei Jichen actually has such a big place in His Majesty's heart.

But he turned to think that Wei Jichen did have some talents to turn the tide, and he was relieved.

It's just that Liaodong is really not suitable for a main battle now, and Wei Jichen, who can provoke the nerves of the Japanese at any time, was stunned. Prince Gong echoed: "Your Majesty, Song Qing and others are not ordinary people. If there is any change in the Japanese, Wei Jichen can return at any time." Liaodong, I believe there is no serious problem."

Guangxu was a little relieved when he heard this, and said: "In this case, I will order Wei Jichen to return to Tianjin and wait for an audience in Beijing. Well, I will send the yellow robe and mandarin jacket and double-eyed feathers to Tianjin to show him personally. Grace."

Now, even Xu Yongyi, Sun Yuwen and other central ministers are secretly jealous in their hearts. This kid Wei Jichen is really a holy family member, with unlimited scenery and a bright future.

Since Guangxu did not recall Li Hongzhang, the representatives of China and Japan signed the "Treaty of Shimonoseki" in Chunfan Building.

There are four main contents of the treaty: first, the Qing government recognizes North Korea as an independent country; second, the southern part of Shengjing Province, Taiwan and the Penghu Islands will be ceded to Japan forever; third, an indemnity of 8000 million taels; It is a commercial port.

Compared with history, it has changed a lot. In addition to the greatly reduced amount of indemnities, the ceded land in Liaodong has also been reduced by more than half. In the past, the Liao River was used as the boundary, but now it is bounded by Gaiping, Ximucheng, and Dakaoling. For the boundary.

After Li Hongzhang signed the contract, he felt that it would be a disgrace to stay in Japan any longer. The Chinese representatives were all depressed and depressed, so they left Japan by ship that day.

The Japanese representatives were all complacent and arrogant.Ito Hirobumi and Mutsu Munemitsu traveled from Shimonoseki to Hiroshima on the 'Yaeyama' ship, and they wanted to ask Mutsuhito for credit.

When the foreign powers learned about the contents of the Treaty of Shimonoseki, they were ready to move. All the ministers stationed in Japan sent telegrams frequently to China to ask for domestic opinions. For a time, dark waves surged in Japan, and various forces joined forces to interfere with the treaty.

At the same time, Wei Jichen, who was in Liaodong, also received a telegram from the Military Aircraft Department, asking him to return to Tianjin immediately to wait for Guangxu's summons and the imperial court's reward.

There was an uproar on the front line, and people with a discerning eye knew that this was the court's determination to negotiate peace, otherwise the famous anti-Japanese general Wei Jichen would not have been transferred from Liaodong.

Outside Gaiping City, Song Qing led the general Wei Jichen in a farewell party.

Wei Jichen rode vigorously on the horse, surrounded by several personal soldiers including Wang Huaiqing, Wei Jichen had already asked Li Yunfei to come here to build Pingcheng, and entrusted Wei Zijun with all his strength.

Wei Jichen believed that with Li Yunfei, Wang Shizhen, Zhao Hu, Mengzi and others watching over him, and Song Qing taking care of him, nothing serious would happen to Wei Zijun.

He also felt relieved and prepared to go back and take a good rest. Besides, it was good to go back to Tianjin, and he could be active.

"Marshal, to send you off for thousands of miles, we must say goodbye. After many years, we will meet again one day." Wei Jichen was not easy to salute on horseback, so he just clasped his fists and said.

Song Qing sighed, and then said pointedly: "If you want to kill a thief, you can't bring yourself back to heaven. Zijie, the capital is no better than Liaodong. The situation in the capital is more complicated than the battlefield. You should be careful at every step."

"Boy, I know, thank you Song Shuai for reminding me." Wei Jichen said with a smile.

Nie Guilin, who was next to Song Qing, had an envious expression on his face, and said with a little jealousy: "Wei Shuai is going to Tianjin, and I heard that the emperor has even prepared a yellow jacket. Alas, why is it that old Nie has such a good thing, and he still has to stay here?" In the bitter cold land of Liaodong, I don't know when it will end."

Wei Jichen glanced at Nie Guilin lightly. This general who was against him at first and was willing to be driven by him in the end represents most of the generals of the Qing army.

"Don't worry, your reward is indispensable to the court." Wei Jichen smiled lightly.

Nie Guilin said sternly: "If there is no Wei Shuai, I guess Nie Guilin will not be here. Wei Shuai will have orders in the future, although he will only say one."

Wei Jichen knew that people like Nie Guilin would only help him with small things, but seeing that he spoke so sincerely, he nodded to him a little.

Wei Jichen glanced at Li Yunfei and Wang Shizhen for the last time, everything was kept silent, and everything that should be explained has been explained.

Wang Shizhen's artillery team and Wei Jichen will never be dismantled. Of course, there is no way for the artillery team merged after Song Qing. Wei Jichen will keep their artillery team even if it is a bribe. Hand it over to Wang Shizhen.

"Shuai Song, everyone, take care, we will meet again someday." Wei Jichen pulled the reins and glanced at Gaiping City from a distance.

After a war, how many brothers died, and how many new faces emerged.

Deng Dapeng, Cheng Bushi, Xiao Monk and others unfortunately died, Nie Cairong returned home, Zhang Zuolin's bodyguard agency had opened in Haicheng, and Li Que'er also opened a brothel in the Eighth Alley of the capital.

My own Wei Zijun can be regarded as spreading its branches and leaves. I will come back to Liaodong.

"Drive!" Wei Jichen yelled, did not stay any longer, and headed for Yingkou, then entered Shanhaiguan by land and returned to Tianjin.
