Chapter 59: The Swearing Master

With a creaking sound, the door of the military prison temporarily renovated by a military storage warehouse in Anzhou City was gently opened.

The three people curled up inside the room were suddenly alarmed, and the sunlight came in from the door. Two of them squinted their eyes and covered the light with one hand. At the same time, they were trying their best to look at the door to see who was coming in. There was only one person wearing a leather robe, lying on the cold kang without moving, without looking out.

The three people who were imprisoned here were naturally Ye Zhichao, Wei Rugui, Yang Shixiang and others. Most of the officers who retreated from Shengjun were also involved in this military prison. Needless to say, Anzhou was in a fierce battle, except for the guards, even the people who delivered food often forgot to come. These guys had to endure hunger and cold, and were worried about the destruction of Anzhou City. They were stewed by Japanese devils. It was really not a life for humans. Some young and strong Huai Army officers also tried to blow up the prison. The prison guards arranged by Yuan Shikai were not polite to them. They were really forced to use bayonets. They immediately fought two of them, and no one dared to move the rest, but they just lived a hard life.

Anzhou was saved, and Xu Yifan was killed, at least he was killed by the war. Xu Yifan didn't come to deal with them at the time, and probably asked for an order. Everything was followed by the legal procedures, and there was nothing to be afraid of. Yang Shixiang was there, and he was still in the pursuit. Li Zhongtang couldn't speak? As long as the matter of the Qing Dynasty was delayed and the money was taken out, there was nothing to do. What I was afraid of was that Xu Yifan would deal with them and push him to die in a chaotic army. Both of them understood that Xu Yifan hated them. After more than ten days passed, it seemed that Xu Yifan would not be a shady person! It was estimated that the court was asking Xu Yifan for someone to return to the capital to handle it strictly!

Ye Zhichao and Wei Rugui, who had to be safe again, started to think about it again. Now that I look at it, I must be unable to escape the charges. I am afraid that this official will never be a rich man. Even if I want to be a rich man, I will probably be in a difficult situation. I will take so much money out to deal with it, and I can almost buy one for free. Two generals of the Huai Army sighed at each other, thinking about everything, how much money can I still have left. Wei Rugui is a little optimistic, probably with 50,000 yuan of property left. Ye Zhichao is pessimistic and thinks it would be good to have 30,000 yuan. The two sighed, and swear that they all return to Huai land together, and go around in their spare time, talking about mulberry and hemp. If anyone of the two families wants to become officials in the future, the old man will break his legs first.

During his life in prison, Yang Shixiang's conversation with them was not interrupted, and he just lay down on the cold kang every day. Ye Wei and his wife were too lazy to curry favor with each other. They were determined not to be officials, so what else could they say? Without this kid, they might have been in China long ago! The prison guards brought food, and the two scrambled for a lot, and they didn't leave it to Yang Shixiang at all for several times. Yang Shixiang looked coldly and just endured hunger.

I was nervous for a while, comforted myself for a while, and with the stupid Yang Shixiang, who had been waiting for so long, there was some movement today!

Xu Yifan walked into the prison. Today, he was wearing a cloak for marching and warding against the wind and rain. He was full of energy and the spurs were jingling. Several Goshhas led the lead with Pu Yang Chen De, all holding rifles and following closely behind him. After the door opened, Xu Yifan glanced at him and saw two Huai generals who were rolling like dirty pigs, as well as Yang Shixiang lying high on the kang.

Xu Yifan smiled and said, "Mr. Yang, I'm so excited! The land of Haidong has caused people to be killed, and the gentleman can still lie on his belly. His morale will not decrease at all when he first met!"

Yang Shixiang didn't move. Ye Zhichao and Wei Rugui finally saw Xu Yifan's face clearly. The big guys in Li Zhongtang had a relationship. At that time, Xu Yifan was just a little alternate dock with no fists and courage, carrying only a 25-year-old man on his back. Both of them were both generals holding heavy troops, and it looked like a joke. Now the situation between the two sides is far apart.

The two of them burst into tears, and Wei Rugui crawled over: "Mr. Xu, the sinner deserves to die! Please give us a way out. In this life, I will never dare to look at the power of Lord Xu. But please give us a free time. Let us go back to the capital to lead the death! Lord Xu, Lord. Hou, our descendants will give Lord Xu the tablet of immortality for generations!"

Ye Zhichao was beside him, and he cried like tears, and became soft.

Both of them were both generals of eight living quarters, and they had seen wars and killed people. The soldiers had their own power. However, after losing all the way, their subordinates scattered, and experienced so many destructions, they were even more worried for so many days. There was no reserve at all to maintain the worthless face, and they only wanted to live. Who would dare to take Xu Yifan, a figure who had already become famous all over the world!

Xu Yifan glanced at them and smiled and said, "They are all leading soldiers, why are you urinating? Let's get up, wait first, Xu is talking to the two adults later." He waved his head again and again: "Serve Lord Yang!"

Pu Yang and a few others immediately raised their guns and strode over to support Yang Shixiang. Ye Zhichao and Wei Rugui stood up against the wall and stood far away.

Xu Yifan also seemed to know that Yang Shixiang was instigating them to rebel, so he was the first to use the culprit to attack... Are these two hundred and five really going to have a slight disgrace to Li Zhongtang?

As soon as a few Geshiha put their hands on, Yang Shixiang waved their hands away, sat up slowly, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at Xu Yifan in a steady state, and Xu Yifan also smiled and didn't care.

"I'm hungry, so I'll eat something. Lord Xu, we'll meet each other. Before leaving, we should be richer, right?"

Xu Yifan laughed: "How can you not have any wine or meat when you are on the road? It's just that here is cramped, so let's change the place. Of course, everything is ready to be well prepared."

Yang Shixiang snorted, and at this point, he let go of everything. He pointed at Xu Yifan with his finger: "You are lucky! At the beginning, we didn't see your quality, and thought it was just a crazy person. After doing so many bold things, you can't stay outside for the rest of your life. As long as you return to your country, it's just a matter of turning over you. Who knew that you had met the Japanese to invade my Qing Dynasty! Now the court needs you who can fight...... Even if you take advantage of the war, you replace the status of Beiyang, so what? The Qing Dynasty is just like that. You can't die, but don't think you can turn over! Do you think your deviant actions can be enjoyed in the Qing Dynasty? In the future, your behavior will be the same as us!"

Xu Yifan looked at him and just smiled: "Mr. Yang, please watch slowly in the future and see how Xu Yifan..."

Yang Shixiang spat: "I'm looking at you below! Let's see when you, Xu Yifan, will you come back and forth!"

Xu Yifan smiled faintly: "Mr. Yang, a gentleman breaks up his friendship and doesn't make bad noises. We met in Beijing, so we are destined to be destined to do so. No matter what, when we started, you have to help you a lot... This time, you are really wrong. You really don't understand some things, and you don't understand them even after you say them. Li Zhongtang didn't have the courage to break this dull situation, so let me do it. Decades later, Lord Yang asked himself, at this moment when the national war was at the forefront, how should you answer?"

Yang Shixiang laughed: "I'll go down to ask my ancestors now! In the past few hundred years, this is how officials are, and I have to hold on to my own things. Lord Xu, I advise you to be an official, you must be with Guang and think more about yourself. The most fierce thing to you is not external enemies, but internal troubles! When we get to know each other, we will give you this sentence! Since I, Yang Shixiang, have come here, I will succeed. If I fail, I don't want to go back alive. I can't explain the Beiyang group. If I pursue it deeply, what should I do? Thank you for your greatness. I'll give me a journey. It seems that you are not stupid yet! I wish you a bright future and a general and a prime minister!"

Yang Shixiang has already understood this past few days. He is responsible for saving the power of the Beiyang group from the mission to take risks. At this point, he can no longer explain the complex interests of the Beiyang group. If he continues to pursue it, how many people will be implicated? Instead of doing so, it is better to die, and at least his family is safe.

Xu Yifan didn't dare to pursue it...unless he wanted to be an enemy of Beiyang so early! Now he has formed a military group, and Beiyang's military strength has been destroyed. At this time, the Qing Dynasty could not easily defeat it with soldiers. As long as he walked forward steadily, Li Hongzhang's status would be expected within ten years...only at that time, Xu Yifan would understand what Yang Shixiang did. When he reached his level, he could only do the same thing as himself!

Many heroes can't escape the word "power". Even if they have ambitions, they want to make things happen with one hand... A joke, even the talented people like Zeng Wenzheng and Li Zhongtang will be the last to hide their worries. The Qing Dynasty... It's not good!

When people think about it, they are particularly relaxed. They get up and get off the kang by themselves. They are romantic and romantic, and the Beiyang think tank is in the loess, so they must behave like this.

Xu Yifan let out a sigh and said to himself: "Fortunately there are always people in this world, and they don't think the same as you..." As he said that, he waved his hand and two Geshihas served Yang Shixiang out.

Ye Zhichao and Wei Rugui were beside him, and they didn't dare to breathe. Yang Shixiang had already put the jar on, so what would they do?

Xu Yifan leisurely looked at Yang Shixiang's back with his hands behind his back and went out, smacking his lips, as if he was regretting the friendship between the two. When he turned his face, there was a layer of frost on his face, and he couldn't say anything contemptuous and hatred: "Two sirs, the good soldiers we brought, fought a good battle! Retreat all the way from Seoul, thank you for your hard work! Pu Yang and Chen De, serve the two sirs!"

Pu Yang and Chen De went up and pressed their shoulders. Goshha handed the rope, and from shoulder to back, it was tied up in a bunch of flowers. Pu Yang was still idle: "You two serve you, haven't experienced such a blessing, right? Don't thank you, you have a friendship... It's good to slap you without a big slap!"

Xu Yifan just looked at it and ordered lightly: "The two adults are soldiers, and they are about to go on the road. Treat them as soldiers and respect them a little more."

He scared Ye Wei and the other two. Xu Yifan's words were like five thunders! After a while, the two struggled hard. Wei Rugui shouted: "Xu Yifan, do you dare to kill us? The Huai Army will never die! The court will not let you go!"

Xu Yifan pretended to be a minister for a long time and immediately threw him out of the sky, and sweared: "I don't dare to kill you? Take it with me!"

Outside Anzhou City, the main force of the Imperial Guards' First Town, two main associations and four standards, and the second town of the Imperial Guards' Second Town, who went out to the expedition, had already been arranged in a neat square formation, covering the fields!

The captured Japanese wing flag was thrown in front, and the Imperial Guard's Canglong flag was flying proudly above the enemy's flag.

Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers all replenished their equipment, with large-brimmed hats and belts tightly tied to their chins, wearing brand new military uniforms, holding the bayonet of the rifle, and standing straight. Everyone carried the finished backpack, military blanket, lunch box, kettle, and bullet box, all of which were meticulously placed on the prescribed parts of their bodies.

Thousands of troops and horses were silent. In front of these tens of thousands of tigers, there was a tomb stretching to the distance!

Thousands of loyal bones of the Imperial Guard will be here temporarily.

There was a sound of horse hooves in the distance, and I saw several horses galloping towards me. The first one was Xu Yifan. The elite troops of the Imperial Guards, more than 12,000 people, were from 6,000 Koreans. They carried twenty-four field artillery and more than 60 Maxim machine guns, and were about to swear an oath to return to the rescue!

On the second two horses, they were wearing two plague-headed and plague-brained figures and wearing dirty official uniforms. Xu Yifan took the lead to the front of the queue, and countless gazes were cast. His Goshha also arrived and threw the two of them down immediately. Whether it was the first or second town of the Imperial Guards, there were quite a few Shengjun soldiers. Who wouldn't recognize them? They were Ye Zhichao and Wei Rugui?

Without waiting for Xu Yifan's orders, several Geshiha carried Ye Zhichao and Wei Rugui to the front of the cemetery, kicked them with his legs bent, and asked them to kneel down. The two struggled desperately, and Wei Rugui's broken voice was still shouting: "Xu Yifan, you are good at killing the generals of the country! You have no father or king! I will not let you go even if I am a ghost!"

The voice was shrill, which made many former soldiers in the queue lower their heads quietly. Xu Yifan rode on the horse and sneered: "Are you still a general of the country? Stop saying that I have asked for the decree. The court wants me to return as soon as possible. My condition is to chop your head first and then go! Look at the tombs in front of you! Think about it, how many lives have you lost from Seoul? When you arrive in the underworld, take care of yourself first. I don't know how many unjust souls there are, and I have to ask for your life first!"

One sentence made both of them tremble, but Xu Yifan still had cold eyes.

Both of them were soldiers, but they fled without a fight. Yang Shixiang instigated them and used their connections to participate in the chaos with great enthusiasm. Yang Shixiang's account had the opportunity to settle the two military commanders, and they could not be the military commanders! Especially when he was about to return to the country, he had to intimidate the army in southern Liaoning! From the beginning when he planned to return to the country, he was not going to be a supporting role. Since he wanted to do it, he had to do his best. After all, this was a battle that would affect the future luck of East Asia and the next century!

Although he had been holding back his mind to seize the enemy, he was dreaming about how to secretly dig out the corners of the Qing Dynasty. However, all the techniques he used were upright!

Ye Zhichao sighed and shouted loudly: "Let us stand up!"

Xu Yifan signaled slightly, and the Goshhas and others pulled them up. Ye Zhichao turned around in a tie and said, "Mr. Xu, please leave us a whole body. Let's go the road to the end. You want to show the world that you will never take the same path as us... With a domineering attitude, you will raise a completely different person......Mr., this road is difficult......"

Chu Wanli, who was standing in front of the queue, heard Ye Zhichao's words clearly, stood there and smiled faintly, muttering in his heart: "Ye Zhichao, he is about to die, and he understands..."

Xu Yifan remained silent and waved his hand slightly. Pu Yang and the others let go of Ye Zhichao and Wei Rugui, and both of them gave up struggling. I wonder if it was the strict imperial guards' army that intimidated them, or the tomb of the warriors in front of them that made them regret it?

The north wind blew across the field. A row of Goshha stood with guns. When the two of them stood up tremblingly, a row of guns suddenly sounded, which made everyone's heart tremble.

Xu Yifan took off his military cap, pointed straight towards the direction of the country, and shouted with all his strength: "Incompetent general, I have eliminated you for yourselves. The road to return to the army has been wiped out by you. The motherland is in danger, waiting for our imperial guards to rescue you!

At this time, only the Imperial Guards can bring a glimmer of hope and a glimmer of vitality to our nation! I promise you that I will always be among you, always face the enemy with your own front!

The Imperial Guards, advance!"

On September 11, 1894, Xu Yifan killed two major commanders of Ye Zhichao, Wei Rugui, and led the main force of the Imperial Guards back. All the world was shocked by Xu Yifan's domineeringness. When the army in southern Liaoning heard about it, all the generals of the commanding soldiers were trembling. And I don't know how many people were wary of Xu Yifan, and there were more people who were already deeply despairing of the Qing Dynasty. In addition to hoping to promote power and reform from the so-called Guangxu Saint Lord, he was excited about Xu Yifan's style, which was completely different from the powerful groups of the Qing Dynasty, which was deep.

This Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 not only made the situation in East Asia, but also made the Qing Dynasty also on the eve of profound changes.

The row of gunfire sounds came from afar, shocking Yang Shixiang, who was independent at the stern of the boat.

He was confused by Xu Yifan's Goshha who was ridiculously mounted on a small boat. He could not ship during the day. He had to sneak through the Yellow Sea at night and go to the Dadonggou area to land. There are now several camps of the Huai Army, which was considered to be handing him back to Li Hongzhang.

Li Hongzhang wrote a letter to Xu Yifan, and Xu Yifan also released the person with pleasure. After he got on the boat, the people on the boat sent from Beiyang handed him a letter from Li Hongzhang.

There are a lot of writing in the letter, which is written by the old man without a record room, but he wrote it himself. Most of them are in vernacular language, and it is as casual as his family talks.

"………Lian Fang, forget it. I naturally understand why you did this. I can't understand what you think of as a pasting maker for life. The Beiyang energy is already deep, and here, I can no longer do anything except being an official.

Do you still not understand Xu Yifan? He is taking a completely different path. We are struggling to climb upwards within the Qing Dynasty, and everyone is the same. Who can stand up? But Xu Yifan has been away from the Qing Dynasty system, fighting South China, fighting North Korea, and fighting Japan...... He is waiting for time. Has he shot his own people and fired a knife? Has he fought for power and profit at home?

When the Qing Dynasty reached the end of all the roads that could be taken, he naturally became the object of attention in the world. At that time, the destiny of heaven will be left unspeakable. He will be able to seize it in a beautiful way! Although the future is difficult to know, he does not know how many open and secret arrows he has to deal with. Is this old empire able to be snatched by him alone, and it is still hard to explain, but someone who keeps the last bit of hope always makes people feel comforted?

As the officialdom is ups and downs, I have long been exhausted. Master Zeng Wenzheng once hoped that I could do something. What have I done now? It's just a lackey under my family. The Empress Dowager has called me and his military supplies will never be transferred to southern Liaoning. And the Japanese and Koreans will be defeated and will definitely go deep into western Liaoning, attack my Weihai, and even go straight to Zhili. The situation is like this, the imperial party will be left behind, and the party will be restored. It's just a scapegoat for me, Li. Taking this opportunity, I have tried my best to transfer troops to Weihai to increase salary. I hope to defend Weihai at least, which is also an explanation. Whether it can be successful can be heard.

This battle has already stirred up the domestic trend, and the old man has been forced to support the Qing Dynasty, and it has been stripped away. The great powers must rise up and force me, but I am helpless to deal with it. How can I meet Master in the nine springs?

It is absolutely impossible to ask the old man to start the revolution by himself. But if others work hard, it is better to be less blocked. I have already made a defensive order in Beiyang. In this war, there are soldiers and generals fighting for me? The imperial party is still constrained, and the later party wants me to be a scapegoat. This is the most disheartening thing! You and I have been together for more than ten years, but can't you see through it?

I have a thick face and will take you back. Let's go through this matter. Let's retreat together and see the ups and downs of the world. It's also a lifetime to stay old. Let's see how Xu Yifan is leaving………”

Yang Shixiang just stood there blankly. In the past two years of entanglement with Xu Yifan, Xu Yifan's actions passed by his mind one after another.

He seized the battle...... He was beautiful! Now he has already achieved his initial hope. The world has already hoped that he can save this war. When will he hope that he can return to his destiny? The whole time must be extremely exciting, with strange and sly clouds.

Unfortunately, I can't see it...

Zhongtang is old, and although he still wakes up, he can still see Xu Yifan clearly. But he is too close to what he is doing.

Can he go back? Zhongtang thought he could use his prestige to suppress his affairs. But who wouldn't worry about Xu Yifan taking the initiative to lift him out and using it to start a prison? How much Beiyang is involved in it, buying the funds of officer Sheng Jun, and putting pressure on him openly and secretly...... Instead of doing this, it's better to take the initiative to cut it off with him. What will his colleagues deal with him at that time? It's better to go back. Instead of being humiliated by villains and implicating his family, Zhongtang understands that he has died. For the sake of his own words, this matter has been really pressed.

Several boatmen and the boatmen in the cabin were pushing Paijiu. When the shopkeeper was catching a good deck of cards, waiting for the idle to place bets with sweat on his face. When he was concentrating, he heard a sound of water outside. Before he could react, he heard the idle urging: "Damn it, hurry up and open the cards, flip and glare! I took them all seven or eight times today. It's so fucking evil!"

The dealer shook his head and spread out Pai Nine: "Fourth in front, eight behind, eight eight, eight gates! I haven't been a fool yet, you have to admit it if you take it all!"

On September 12, 1894 AD, Yang Shixiang, General Officer of the General Road of Zhili of the Qing Dynasty, jumped into the water and died. Li Hongzhang reported that Yang Dao had been in the middle of the war and was worried about national affairs. Lushun fell and often blamed himself for his failure to follow the country, he hesitated and sighed, and showed his ambitions to death.

The court posthumously awarded the posthumous title, and used the Shangshu Classic to organize the funeral, and published it to the History Museum and entered the ancestral hall.
