Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 127 Official declaration of war
Luo Ming's First Division of the Qing Dynasty and Zhang Xun's Seventh Division crossed the Yalu River and went straight to North Korea.

As soon as I stepped into the North Korean land, I could smell a strong smell of blood, and the air seemed to be filled with blood.These two troops can be said to be the elite of the domestic army. The two commanders can be described as highly talented people in one Chinese and one Western. One graduated from the Army University of the Qing Dynasty and the other graduated from the German Military Academy.This combination of Chinese and Western is also Guan Xuqing's hope that they can combine Chinese and Western military theories in actual combat.

"Mr. Luo, why are the government offices empty after entering North Korea for so long? I can't even find anyone to ask, this North Korea is really messed up!" Zhang Xun muttered.

Luo Ming kept a serious expression without saying a word.Turning his head to Zhang Xun, he said, "If it is true what Zhao Bingjun said, why is there no army here?"

Zhang Xun and Zhao Bingjun have been together in Germany for more than three years, and of course they are very familiar with his ability to collect intelligence. He patted his chest and said, "Mr. Luo, don't be suspicious. I don't know that kid Zhao Bingjun, since He sent a secret telegram to the emperor to explain that this matter must not be wrong, otherwise he would not dare to deceive the emperor with ten courage, besides, I admire his ability to collect information very much. It can’t be wrong, believe me."

Luo Ming didn't answer, and continued to walk forward.

"Report, the vanguard team reported that a large number of North Korean troops were found 10 kilometers ahead. They are approaching us." A correspondent reported.

Zhang Xun frowned and asked, "Is it the North Korean army or the Dongxue Party rebels?"

"There are all kinds of clothes, it's not easy to judge." The correspondent continued.

Zhang Xun turned to Luo Ming and said, "Beat the son of a bitch first, shall we?"

"According to common sense analysis, it should be the North Korean army. The rebels didn't infiltrate the north so quickly. According to Zhao Bingjun's information, the Japanese army and the Donghak rebels should both be south of Pyongyang." Luo Ming quickly analyzed.

"Well, that's what Zhao Bingjun's intelligence said. But if it's the rebels, isn't it us?" Zhang Xun asked worriedly.

Luo Ming also made sense, and hurriedly said: "Brother Zhang, otherwise, you will bypass the North Koreans and continue to move closer to Pyongyang. I will set up an ambush here, and I will come to you after I find out the situation. If I am caught, then you are in Pyongyang." Also quickly contact the court and tell the court about the situation here."

"Okay, Brother Luo will meet later." Zhang Xungong cupped his hands and said.

"There will be a period later."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xun took his seventh division and turned to the path beside the road.

"Regimental Commander, go to the south highland and set up an ambush. Do not shoot without my order, understand?" Luo Ming ordered.

"Yes."

"The rest, follow me." Luo Ming waved his hand, and everyone followed him to a small high slope in the south.

Not long after, a lazy troop walked over.Some were shoulder-to-shoulder, some were smoking cigarettes, and some were even shirtless and bulging with clothes, as if they had stolen some jewellery.

"Master, how can this be an army? It's no different from bandits." The staff officer beside Luo Ming said.

"Hehe, from this point of view, it should be the North Korean army." Luo Ming said with a smile.

The staff officer asked suspiciously: "Then shall we still fight?"

"Since it is the North Korean troops, there is no need to fight. They came from the south and just asked about the situation. Tell the troops to rush down and not shoot."

"Yes."

"boom"

There was a loud gunshot, and the North Korean army in the middle of the road looked around in horror, only to find that there were densely packed soldiers in uniforms of navy blue uniforms, and they could be recognized as soldiers from the Celestial Dynasty at a glance.

A North Korean translator said loudly: "We are the First Division of the Qing Army, and we were ordered to help put down the rebellion. Which part are you?"

A middle-aged man walked out of the North Korean army and shouted in pure Chinese to the place where the gunshot fired: "General, we are the Pyongyang Guard Army of North Korea. The rebels have already broken through Pyongyang, and we are retreating north."

Luo Ming walked forward and asked, "Where is your king?"

"I don't know. After signing the agreement with the rebels, the capital has been moved to Pyongyang. A few days ago, the rebels tore up the agreement and attacked Pyongyang, and the king disappeared." The middle-aged man said helplessly.

"Then whose retreat order did you receive?" Luo Ming continued to ask.

"I received an order from General Li Chengwan, and he is currently in Chongjin."

Luo Ming thought for a while, then turned around and whispered to the communication soldier beside him: "Go, inform the Seventh Division that the North Korean troops we intercepted said that Pyongyang has been occupied by the rebels, let Commander Zhang find out the situation, and if it is true, report to him immediately." Chongjin is close, and we will plan in the long run."

"Yes."

Luo Ming shouted again, "Then I will help you lead the way. We will go to Chongjin with you. Meet your General Li Chengwan and discuss how to counter the rebellion together. But the situation is dangerous now, and I can only wrong you." , turned around and said: "Pay their weapons and keep them properly."

"General, general, why is that?" the middle-aged man said awkwardly.

"There is no reason, if what you said is true. Of course this general will return your equipment. We still have to work together to counter the rebellion, don't we?"

Although the Koreans were reluctant, but faced with such a gun pointed at themselves, they reluctantly obeyed the arrangement of the Qing army.

The two armies marched towards Chongjin mightily.

In the Forbidden City, Guan Xuqing received three telegrams at the same time in one day.One is from Zhao Bingjun, one is from Zhang Xun, and the other is from Luo Ming. The time sequence is almost the same, and the content is similar.

They all reported that with the help of the Japanese army, the rebels tore up the armistice agreement and attacked Pyongyang, and Pyongyang had already fallen.The whereabouts of the king of North Korea are unknown!Japanese troops have occupied Pyongyang.

This time we can basically determine the situation in North Korea, but there is still no news about the 29th Brigade of the 87th Division in North Korea.Could it be that the whole army was wiped out like this?Guan Xuqing was deep in thought when Wang Shang's voice came softly.

"Your Majesty, Lord Li Hongzhang seeks an audience."

"Huh? Let him in."

"twitter."

After a while, Li Hongzhang hurried in.

"Come to see the emperor."

"Calm down, what's the matter with Hongzhang so early?"

"Your Majesty, today I received a telegram from the governor of Shengjing outside the customs. A person who claimed to be an envoy from North Korea asked for help from the Qing Dynasty, saying that the civil strife in North Korea was serious, and the rebels had already broken through Pyongyang with the help of others." Li Hongzhang said excitedly.

"I already know." Guan Xuqing said coldly without raising his head.

"Your Majesty, people are so rampant that they actually instigated civil strife in North Korea and sent troops to North Korea under the pretext of defending the people of North Korea. I think this rebellious behavior should be condemned." Li Hongzhang said righteously.

"You said, if you go to lodge a protest and denounce them, they will withdraw their troops?" Guan Xuqing raised his head and asked.

"Well, the emperor's reputation spreads far and wide. I think he will not dare to be an enemy of our Qing Dynasty." Li Hongzhang said awkwardly.

"Hehe, Hongzhang, my prestige was earned by my troops. It is the prestige of our Qing Dynasty. Now that people dare to provoke us in North Korea, it means that they are not afraid of us at all. Where are our North Korean troops? ?? Don’t dare to be an enemy of my Qing Dynasty, but dare to kill my soldiers?” Guan Xuqing said angrily.

"Ah..." Li Hongzhang was speechless for a while.

"Since the situation has been clarified, we need to have a clear attitude. Discuss with your military aircraft department and come up with a plan for me to see." Guan Xuqing continued to look down at the notebook.

"twitter."

Although he asked the Military Aircraft Department to discuss the plan, he had already decided to declare war on Japan in his heart.Guan Xuqing stood in front of a 1:200 map of Asia in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, staring at Qingdao, North Korea, and the Yellow Sea between these three places for a long time. It was here that the navy was completely annihilated after being hit hard.After losing command of the sea, he landed from Lushun under the cover of a warship, and the Japanese army in North Korea also crossed the Yalu River and invaded the mainland of the Qing Dynasty. These humiliating histories will not be repeated on him.

Guan Xuqing firmly believes that he who can change history and win the Sino-French War and the Sino-British War will never be defeated by this little man.In particular, the war will be moved forward three years. Although China's armaments are much stronger than in history, the Qing Dynasty is not the Qing Dynasty in history.

Accompanied by several eunuchs and court ladies, Guan Xuqing arrived at the Military Aircraft Department.

"The emperor is here." Wang Shang's high-pitched voice terrified the first-rank officials inside.

"Your Majesty is auspicious" everyone said while lying on the ground.

"Get up, I'm impatient, so let's take a look. How is the discussion going?" Guan Xuqing asked while sitting on a chair.

"Your majesty, ministers and others all believe that it is appropriate to negotiate with the Japanese side first, and then declare war on them if they insist on not withdrawing their troops." Li Hongzhang said.

"Oh, then are they willing to retreat?" Guan Xuqing asked coldly.

Li Hongzhang was at a loss for words for a while, and he didn't know why the emperor asked this question.Hastily replied: "If you are willing to retreat, my Celestial Dynasty will not care about the Japanese pirates."

"Fart, the Japanese pirates who come and go when they want to come and go when they want to my country of the Qing Dynasty? Is he the one who kills my Qing army when he wants?" Guan Xuqing cursed angrily.

Li Hongzhang hurriedly knelt down on the ground, not daring to speak out.

"Peng Yulin, what do you think?" Guan Xuqing ignored Li Hongzhang who was kneeling in front of him, and turned to look at Peng Yulin.

"Back to the emperor, I feel that we should directly declare war on Japan. If we don't fight, we will beat the little devil to the ground." Peng Yulin saw the miserable Li Hongzhang, of course he understood what the little emperor was thinking, what he wanted What is it.

"Okay, very good! A small country, relying on the support of the United Kingdom and France, actually wants to compete with the Qing Dynasty. It is really beyond its control. Draw up an order for me and declare war on Japan. In addition, order the Beiyang Fleet to set up defenses in the Yellow Sea and intercept all ships. Definitely Drop its supplies to North Korea. Let the Nanyang Fleet withdraw its warships and go north to reinforce the Beiyang Fleet." Guan Xuqing ordered.

"twitter."
