On the night of August 23, Ruixing Mansion.

The sound of shouts and gunfires came in waves, and the small city had been beaten to pieces. The trenches that the Japanese army once defended were already broken and corpses. There were Japanese soldiers in black uniforms and imperial guards in yellow uniforms. Even if they were killed in battle, the bodies of both sides were still fighting together. Some imperial guards still maintained the last assassination posture. The bayonet had already penetrated into the corpses of the other Japanese, and the breath was cut off, but the weight of the entire body was all used on the rifle, leaning against the gun, and he was still ashamed.

The city wall also opened one gap after another, and there were bullet marks on both sides of the city wall. Especially the north gate of the main direction of the Imperial Guard, the upper half of the city walls in that area were gone, and the bricks collapsed and formed a slope. The rammed earth layer inside was bumpy, which was lifted off layer by layer by layer by layer by layer by layer by layer by layer by layer by layer by layer by layer by layer by layer by layer by layer by layer by layer by layer by layer by the Japanese army. The Japanese army once carried out the most tenacious resistance here, and launched a counterattack on the Breakthrough Guard in a dense formation. As a result, the machine guns that came up intensively, turning this place into a large pile of corpses. The soldiers of the Imperial Guard achieved a breakthrough on this pile of corpses and broke into Ruixing Mansion!

Now there is a lot of fire in the palace. For the deadly Japanese troops who are still relying on the barricades to fight, the Imperial Guard simply brought foreign oil and set fire to the fire. The Japanese army could not stand the fire and broke out from the house, so they were knocked down by dense fire. Those who were deadly to the end turned into barbecue. The entire Ruixing Mansion is now filled with a smell of burning people. Everything here is the final destruction of the Fifth Hiroshima Division, which was known as the foundation of the Imperial Army, was one of the six divisions first established at the beginning of the establishment of the Japanese Army, and the final destruction of the Fifth Hiroshima Division, known as the foundation of the Imperial Army!

The Imperial Guards had already rushed to the Ruixing Prefecture Envoy, which was the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Division, where the commander-in-chief of the First Army of the Qing Dynasty was located. In the end, more than a hundred Japanese officers and soldiers who had run out of ammunition and food blocked the gate and fought for the final battle of trapped beasts. Several camps of the Imperial Guards' right-supported battalions had already met here, from officers to soldiers, all of them had their eyes red. Occasionally, sporadic bullets shot out from inside, and the Japanese officers and soldiers who were struggling to death did not know what they were howling, and they were so scared. Thousands of officers and soldiers surrounded the place with overlapping. At this point, the officers led the team did not want to command the troops to rush, and they would only hurt lives. Use fire to light these dog-dance sky lanterns!

Chen Jinping rushed over with a rifle in great stride. He later launched an attack with the troops. The horseman finally did not hold him down and had to attack with the commander. He also gave the order to burn the Japanese army preparing for street fighting with foreign oil. Until now, there were still no prisoners! The Japanese army had surrendered at first, and the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guards also had their eyes red. Seeing the Japanese rushing out of the fire, regardless of whether they were too roasted to bear it and were about to come out to surrender, they flew over for a while before asking questions.

He looked at the officers and soldiers who were clamoring, "Is there any foreign oil? They are so damn it!" Some soldiers turned around and ran to the back, wanting to bring foreign oil. Chen Jinping scolded loudly, "What's the noise? It's over when you hit it here?"

An officer loudly replied to him: "Sir, this is the last headquarters of the Japanese! We finally got here!"

Chen Jinping glared at him: "I know! It's so fucking. I'll die, one battalion officer and two team officers are dead! I'm going to see what the two Japanese chiefs, Shan County and Nozin, look like!"

He reached out to take out his pocket watch, but it was a bunch of parts. I don’t know if it was a bullet or he broke it. Chen Jinping asked at the top of his throat: “When is the time now?”

Another officer replied loudly: "Sir, now after twelve o'clock!"

"Hey, this little Japanese really dragged me to No. 24!" Chen Jinping looked at the broken government office and murmured. A gunshot was heard, and a bullet hit him, splashing a little smoke and dust. He didn't move at once. Hundreds of guns were lifted up at the same time, and fired a lot of smoke and dust for a long time, killing the government office. Several Japanese soldiers who crawled on the wall and fired the last bullet fell down without a humming sound.

Chen Jinping reached out and called Ma Ban, took out paper and pen from the leather bag he was carrying, and gritted his teeth and whispered his pen.

"At 003 on August 24, the Ministry of Justice has attacked the last stronghold of the Japanese army. There are only more than a hundred remaining Japanese troops, which can be broken by a blink of an eye. The Imperial Guards' Right Cooperation, after preliminary investigation, five generals of the sentry officers and above were injured, and nine were injured. More than three hundred soldiers were killed and more than four hundred were injured. The Imperial Guards' first battle in the city, but their command was ineffective, so they still prayed for the heavy place..."

He gritted his teeth and looked at the government envoy in front of him. Under the light of the fire, it was like a broken tomb. The Japanese army did not even shoot a bullet, but the trembling and long miserable songs of the Japanese were heard from it. It seemed that it was a song like Wangxiang. Thinking of the death and injury of the Right Alliance who was in charge of the Ruishing Mansion, Chen Jinping's face twitched and continued to write: "……………… The Japanese troops occupied the government envoys and fought to fight stubbornly. There was no one who surrendered. Their tremendous tragedy was burned with fire to prevent the soldiers from being injured. After a hundred battles, they were unable to capture the enemy chief and offered them to the horses. The crime of the post was profound!"

After writing the last word, Chen Jinping threw the pen violently and shouted loudly: "Rise the fire! Burn the dog! Fight against the King's Army, that's the only end!"

The officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guards, who had been ready to beat their hands, were waiting for the final stop of their lord. When they heard this order, they cheered, and all the combustible materials were dragged over, and foreign oil was poured on, and then they were lit. The soldiers lit torches one by one and threw them in like meteors. In a blink of an eye, the government office had already started torches. Under the command of the officers, the soldiers all chose their own battle positions and set up rifles to wait. As long as the Japanese could not resist the burning, they would splash bullets over for a while.

In the Battle of Bacheng, casualties have always been twice as much as field battles. The Right Cooperation of the Imperial Guards suffered seven or eight hundred casualties, almost one more battalion was exhausted. Everyone struggled to survive in North Korea, marched and trained together, and after more than a year, they had become inseparable groups. Most of them were Datong Township in the north. When they fought fiercely, they didn't feel that when they broke the city, they were now watching the last strongholds of the Japanese burned like torches, and some people stared at the flames and couldn't help but whimper.

The fire became bigger and bigger, and there were only crackling sounds of crackling. Sometimes the roof was burned through, and it collapsed with a rumbling sound, splashing the sky. After sweeping around, more and more officers and soldiers gathered here, all of whom were full of dust and blood, gathered here. Although most of the soldiers were simple and unable to say anything, they were so excited that they wanted to shout out.

The enemy in front of him, with more than 10,000 troops, had been unstoppable since the landing in Korea. He went down to Yashan and fell into Seoul, defeating the main force of the Huai Army that was two or three times theirs, and was chased and killed for more than a thousand miles north. It can be said that even several generals of the Qing Dynasty, such as Zuo Baogui, were defeated in their hands, which was equivalent to a powerful army that could destroy the country. It is said that in the entire Japan, there were only six such troops, which made the entire Qing Dynasty change its color, but now there are only the last few troops left. Together with their commanders, there are also a great general with several Japanese, who were burned and crushed!

Looking at the entire Qing Dynasty, besides their Imperial Guards, there is also a strong army that can do this? Apart from them, Lord Xu, who else can lead them to be the backbone of this country?

The flames became bigger and bigger, and rushed straight into the sky, making the entire Korean night sky turn red. No one of the Japanese escaped, as if they were willing to make this fire tomb their last cemetery. But in the eyes of the victor, they were not surprised by the tenacity of the Japanese, but only felt their despair!

Chen Jinping raised his head and looked at the sky: "Mr. Deng, this is not enough for the Japanese to offer you a gift, please keep waiting!"

Xu Yifan and his team were watching all this from afar, and all the staff officers under their command stood solemnly under the fiery red sky. The outline of each person's face was as bright as a stone, as serious as sculptures, standing on the mountains and rivers of North Korea.

The Japanese army came with violent storms and thunder, sweeping thousands of miles. Although the Imperial Guards praised the unparalleled strong army of the Qing Dynasty, such a large-scale formal war was the first time. Even Chu Wanli, who was smiling, was not without any worries, fearing that he would not be able to take this torrent, especially when the Qing army was defeated and all on the water and on the land were brave!

But now this wave of winds swept from southern Korea to northern Korea, and saw that it could reach the Qing Dynasty's gates, shattered in front of their Imperial Guards, and then finally destroyed Ruixing Prefecture under the continuous attacks of the Imperial Guards!

Everyone's eyes were unconsciously focused on Xu Yifan. It was this young and rebellious young man who was sometimes a little unreasonable and evil, and he created them with one hand!

Everyone looked at him in a state of excitement, watching Xu Yifan slowly lower his telescope and turn to them. Everyone couldn't help but breathe, waiting for Xu Yifan to make the most intense and high conclusion.

Xu Yifan was full of depression at this time. Damn it seems that even a living Japanese man with a bigger official can't be caught. Chen Jinping and the rest of the Zhiyuan troupe left behind were really his grandmother's evil! If you had a living person in Shanxian County, you would have to take the lead in Beijing, newspapers and public opinion, and the streets and alleys, Xu Yifan would not have become Xu Wumu of the Qing Dynasty! Those who persecuted him, the loyal and kind, were naturally Zhao Gou, Qin Hui, and the dead eunuch's butt...

He looked up and everyone looked at him, his eyes were shining, and everyone looked infinitely affectionate. Xu Yifan glared and cursed, "What do you think? I'm not a rabbit! Go and do whatever you should do. After burning the Japanese here, I'll drop my butt and run to the east! I'm still busy. Speaking of which, who will do this next time? I won't take him to go back to China, so I'll swim back from here!"

A few words of scolding made everyone disappointed, dejected, and disbanded with a loud bang, and they all went to do their own work. Xu Yifan was still unhappy and was extremely upset in the curse.

Konc, who had been watching coldly, walked up in a tidy clothes. The old German soldier saluted Xu Yifan solemnly: "Your Excellency, congratulations, this is also a beautiful annihilation battle! You, the Japanese Empire's North Korean strategy has been knocked out by you! You have won a valuable strategic initiative for your motherland, at least in North Korea!"

Xu Yifan smiled faintly and said to this old consultant. The Imperial Guards made such military achievements, and these German consultants worked hard without credit. The Fifth Division was destroyed, and there was no movement on the Eastern Front for the time being, and no bad news came. It would take a few days for him to transfer his troops, and there would probably be no problem in these days, right? At that time, the Japanese devils in Yuanshan came up and beat him up. It seems that the initiative on the Korean battlefield was taken in hand.

"Mr. Fleisher, I know, this is a great victory! But other things are hard to say. You really don't know how capable some people in our country are to break things..."

He pondered and kept his mouth shut. It would be better to expose his family's shame... He looked west, and the night was low... I'm here to fight to the death, and the Imperial Guards suffered heavy casualties. Are you... Is it better to be more angry? Although the more incompetent you are, the smoother you walk on this path, but in terms of emotions, during the national war, you should also look a little more like it?

On August 24, 1894, the Imperial Guards smashed the Japanese Fifth Division and Ruixing Prefecture, and the two sides attacked for nearly ten days. The Fifth Division had only scattered remaining soldiers fled to Seoul, and 9,000 officers and soldiers went to fight, and about 8,000 were killed, including Army General Yuto Yama Prefecture, Division Commander Lieutenant General Daoguan Notsu, and the two Major General Brigade Commanders...... More than 300 were captured and only a few hundred were born. The entire Fifth Division was completely destroyed by the Imperial Guards!

The elite troops of the Imperial Guards' First Town and the Two Assemblies almost all fought, with more than 900 officers and soldiers killed and about 2,000 injured. After the second town disbanded the two battalions and urgently supplemented, the First Town still basically maintained its combat power and could continue to fight. In the plan of the Imperial Guards' General Staff Headquarters, the entire army turned to the eastern front on the 25th, and it is expected that it will reach the designated position on the 28th and 9th. The entire Korean war situation should be under control!

"Hmph... I still know the Qing Dynasty, and I still know the Beiyang..."

Yuan Shikai looked at a stack of newspapers and sarcastically said a few words from time to time. Tang Shaoyi was reading some business at the first batch of people. When he heard Yuan Shikai's sneer, he kept shaking his head.

After the war broke out, according to the division of labor arranged by Xu Yifan, Yuan Shikai was in charge of domestic and foreign intelligence and communications. Tang Shaoyi was directly responsible for mobilizing the local people and materials of North Korea to support the Imperial Guards' operations. Both of them were in Seoul, while Zhan Tianyou left North Korea to master the evacuated students and resources.

In Xu Yifan's opinion, Yuan Shikai is a little darker and knows some power scheming. Although the situation is not very big, it is more appropriate to be in charge of literature and telecommunications and analyze the pros and cons of literature and telecommunications. However, Tang Shaoyi must also look at all information and telecommunications. First, he can help with some ideas, and second, he also plays a role in monitoring and decentralization.

The Imperial Guards fought hard on the front line against the Fifth Division and won step by step, and news from the country continued to spread.

On the 23rd, the Japanese army had already landed in Dalian Bay! Then the Japanese army sorted out the system, transported materials, and advanced towards Jinzhou.

The Dalian Bay landing is in a key place in southern Liaoning. The two Japanese landing sites are only more than 200 miles away from Jinzhou. After passing Jinzhou, the south is Lushunkou, which is known as the number one fortress in Asia. You can also go to Fuzhou Avenue north and go straight to Fengtian.

The front of the army pointed to Fengtian, which was the place of dragon's rise. The Qing Dynasty was so shocking that it was conceivable, but this was just a matter of losing face. If it was directed to Lushun, after it fell, the barriers of the entire Bohai Bay would be completely lost! The Japanese combined fleet and ships rely on Lushun to penetrate the sea estuary in the Bohai Bay without restraint, and landed in the Zhili Plain! The sea transport supplies can support the army's operations. In order to be more assured, they can also go south on the water route, land in the Weihai area, and completely remove the Beiyang Navy General Base.

In short, when Lushun fell, the last barrier of the Qing Dynasty was gone. In the entire Bohai Bay, the Japanese could come and go freely with water, using Lushun as their anchor point and support. The Qing Dynasty had to stand up to defend the capital while preparing for defense!

If the battle reaches this point, it will be an absolute disadvantage. Unless the Qing Dynasty is preparing to make the final resistance on the Zhili Plain near the capital and defeat it. However, in the Second Opium War, the Qing emperor opened at the mouth of the Bohai Sea. After Britain and France landed, he ran away to Chengde. This time, don’t expect to be strong.

In order to defend this Haikou, the Qing Dynasty worked hard to build the Beiyang Navy and establish the Lushun Weihai, a fortress base that jammed the Bohai Bay Haikou. Now the Beiyang Navy has been destroyed, and even these barrier bases will be lost!

If these bases are in one day, the Japanese army would not dare to go deep into the Bohai Bay for a day. Otherwise, the long sea supply line would be attacked at any time. Those who have a little military knowledge in the Qing Dynasty understand this.

Because of this, the shock of the Japanese army landing in Dalian Bay made the entire Qing Dynasty panic!

The telegrams were issued one by one, requiring them to defend Dalian Bay and defeat the Japanese army in the land. To a low level, they also had to defend the periphery of Lushun and ensure the Jinzhou area.

The imperial edict involved seven generals and sixty battalions of horse and infantry officers and soldiers. Some were the Beiyang Lushun defenders, and some were newly recruited camps. Since the beginning of the Korean War, defense has been planned here, and the gathering of troops has been no less than 30,000. If the war is insufficient, there is still more than defense?

As a result, on the 24th, the Japanese army began to advance, and the Qing army was about to collapse! From Yi Army to Fengtian Training Army, to Gonggu Army, to Jingbian Training Army, and only retreated. The Japanese army advanced but Kozaki Masaman was a mixed brigade, and thousands of defense training Army were vulnerable! Some fled to Jinzhou, and some fled to Fuzhou Avenue and ran towards Fengtian. The Japanese army advanced dozens of miles a day, but there was no fighting army slightly blocked. The front-line generals came back to complain, saying that they would not continue to transfer the army, and that the Beiyang Navy would not attack the Japanese fleet, and they should not talk about Lushun defense!

Some time ago, the court was very proud and was preparing to see Li Hongzhang's joke. At this time, they were panicked and sent a series of telegrams, drawing troops everywhere, and strictly ordered Li Hongzhang to defend Lushun!

The government and the country had even more voices, and they were able to urge Lord Xu's Imperial Guards to fight in southern Liaoning! North Korea is only a vassal state, so Xu Tu can restore it. The Bohai Bay area is the vital gate of the Qing Dynasty!

Guangxu didn't care about it, so he generated electricity to Xu Yifan, asking him to give him a quick return and lead his troops back to southern Liaoning. How to walk on the dry road and how to walk on the water road?

North Korea is already in chaos. Many people hope that Xu Yifan can return to the army like a drought. No one cares. Xu Yifan is fighting hard with the Fifth Division, and there may be Japanese troops on the flanks. How could he leave contact and move to southern Liaoning with supplies? The waterways are already difficult to pass through the brigade, and only some small steamer with flags from other countries occasionally travels. How many days will it take to get to southern Liaoning? It is still not too late?

The Qing Dynasty's own main force was so fragile, and the Qing court's war guidance was so chaotic. In addition, the local powerful forces in the main force were fighting had their own thoughts. People with discerning eyes had long seen something wrong, and some people had already shouted loudly.

Beiyang can no longer rely on it, only Lord Xu from Haidong can save this dangerous death!

Yuan Shikai and Tang Shaoyi looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Both of them came from Beiyang, and it was not an exaggeration to know that this series of telegrams was said at all. Wherever Xu Yifan was, the situation could be held up. But Beiyang was defeated all the way!

Yuan Shikai's expression was not as painful as Tang Shaoyi for the failure of his old boss, and he sneered: "Beiyang is indeed not worthy of dependence! Who is the Qing Dynasty who is expected to guard the country in the future? Now I am afraid that the officials in the court will have no choice, right?"

Tang Shaoyi held the pen and smiled bitterly: "Our Lord Xu showed his face this time... Although we compete with Beiyang, we don't want him to be so unsuccessful! This is a national war! If we lose, we Chinese will suffer without the shame!"

Yuan Shikai smiled disapprovingly: "It was Beiyang who lost, not our Lord Xu who lost! Can Japan really destroy our Qing Dynasty? As long as it is our Imperial Guards standing there, it will be!"

Tang Shaoyi looked at Yuan Shikai and wanted to sneer, but she didn't laugh. She wanted to get angry, but she didn't know who to send her. Holding those depressed telegrams, she felt empty in her heart. She wanted to cry but didn't know why she cried.

Fortunately, I was in the Imperial Guard and served for Xu Yifan... If I were in Beiyang, I would only be able to watch this shame!

"I can only hope that my Imperial Guard will win one after another and save this danger... Lord Xu has a way!"

Yuan Shikai looked at Tang Shaoyi with an indescribable expression: "Master Xu is a god and a man, and he must have a success. But what I am worried about is that the more Lord Xu is the mainstay, the more people in the court will stumbling against him!"

Tang Shaoyi is also a smart person. How could he not know what Yuan Shikai meant? He thought about it and shook his head hesitantly: "No way...... No matter how much trouble you make on weekdays, it is your duty. When everyone is an official, they should have stepped on each other. But now it is a national war... Whether it is the court or the Beiyang, there will never be such a bad strategy to destroy the Great Wall!"

Yuan Shikai listened and just smiled faintly, not saying anything.

While the two were speechless, they heard the sound of sounds outside the door, and then they heard the sound of horse boots. Another battalion officer, who was directly under the cavalry of the Imperial Guard, walked in with great strides.

This tall man has changed his appearance now. The iconic beard of the horse thief in the past was clean. The horse boots seemed to have been coated with oil. If they weren't running all the way and were dusty, they would probably be so bright that they could shine. They were already purely like an imperial guard officer... No wonder, the appearance of the horse thief and the appearance of the imperial guard officer carefully created by Xu Yifan are really far apart. Who said that the horse thief has no power to love beauty?

Chen Bin rushed in like a whirlwind. He and Yuan Shikai were always dealing with each other. Yuan Shikai was also the director of the Intelligence Department of the General Staff Headquarters of the Imperial Guards. Tang Shaoyi didn't even look at him, but just saluted Yuan Shikai: "Mr. Yuan! The devils have already gone to Lu Yuanshan and are ready to advance westward! On the way back, I have already passed this information to Lord Nie. Please give it to Lord Yuan quickly and repay it to Lord Xu!"

Yuan Shikai stood up and said, "Come?"

The Imperial Guards were all ready, and the Japanese would definitely attack from the east. The only thing the Imperial Guards couldn't understand was why the Fifth Division did not wait for the Japanese troops coming from the east to launch an attack first? Give the Imperial Guards a chance to defeat each one for free. These days, everyone was worried, fearing that the Japanese in the east would come before the Fifth Division had been defeated.

Yuan Shikai would never dare to delay this information, so he shouted that the horseman would come over and he wanted to go to the front line in person to report the situation!

The horseman rushed to answer the order in a hurry, and Tang Shaoyi looked coldly. The civil servants of their civil affairs system and the imperial guards did not violate the rivers, so they ignored each other. Xu Yifan set the rules. Yuan Shikai did not interrupt, so he could not interrupt, so he could only complain in his heart: "If Lord Xu hadn't had great measures, could you be today?"

Yuan Shikai was hurriedly packing up the secret message there, and another staff officer came in outside, and a military salute: "Mr. Yuan, there is a man named Zhang Peilun outside. He was transferred to the river ridge at Datong to land at night and was captured by our sentry line. He said there was a secret military return...... I brought it here today and ask me how to deal with it?"
Chapter completed!
