Super Dictator

Chapter 17 The Early Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty

When the morning sun shone into the former Qing government yamen in Jiulian City, Saito Masaki also learned the news that a small group of prisoners had escaped from the city. He was like a bull in heat, furious, and in anger, he chopped it with a knife. He has a second lieutenant.

Because the second lieutenant told him just a moment ago that even a fly would not escape from Jiulian City, but in the blink of an eye, not only the flies escaped, but also the dogs.

"Bring me those people you captured."

Saito Masaki had no choice but to send people to continue the pursuit while sending someone to report the news to the superiors.

After doing this, he remembered that his men had captured several prisoners of the escaping army.

Deng Dapeng and several other Chinese soldiers had their hands tied behind their backs, and their legs were bleeding profusely, leaving a bright red blood trail on the road. The Japanese intended to capture him alive and specifically shot him in the thigh.

"Chinese people, tell me, who is your commander?"

Saito was repeating his old trick, gently stroking the blade with his white-gloved fingers and threatening.

Deng Dapeng's eyes widened, he looked straight at him, and roared: "Japanese slaves, a small country, barbarians, small people, kill or cut into pieces at will, uncle, if I frown, I will be your grandson, I think If you want to get even a hint of information from me, Deng Dapeng, that’s just a dream.”

A smile appeared on Saito's face. He smiled softly and said, "China people, there is no need to be so angry. I just admire your commander and want to know his name."

The expression on Deng Dapeng's face was a little uncertain, and then he sighed heavily, and then murmured a few words. Saito raised the corner of his mouth and gently tugged, "China people are so hypocritical."

He thought Deng Dapeng had surrendered, but his voice was too low and he didn't hear him.

Saito took a step forward, leaned down, and put his ear to Deng Dapeng's mouth.

"I tell you, his name is,"

Deng Dapeng's eyes rolled, and suddenly a stern look flashed across his face. Then he suddenly opened his mouth, revealing his white teeth, and bit Saito's rising ear hard, and then he refused to let go.

ah!

Saito screamed, his hands and feet were shaking involuntarily, his face was dripping with blood, and one of his ears was bitten off by Deng Dapeng.

"Haha, so happy!"

Deng Dapeng laughed heartily and loudly.

"Baga, Baga, drag this man down, chop off his hands and feet, and fend for himself." Saito Masaki held the bleeding ear and bandaged it while cursing loudly.

"Hai!" Two Japanese soldiers stepped forward quickly and followed Saito Masaki's instructions.

The tragic situation of Deng Dapeng before his death frightened several other prisoners. They were not afraid of death, but they were afraid of being tortured like this before they died.

It didn't take long for a prisoner to tell Saito Masaki everything he knew.

"Wei Jichen! You can't escape my grasp!" Saito raised one hand to touch the gauze that had just been bandaged on his head, clenched his other hand tightly into a fist, and said bitterly.

From the prisoners' mouths, he learned that there were only about forty people in Wei Jichen's party, and most of them were injured.

"Come here, prepare your horses!"

Saito was about to start a Japs team of about a hundred people, and shouted murderously: "Gentlemen, Wei Jichen, a Chinese man, has completely angered me. He dares to use my warriors from the Japanese Empire as military rations. This is really unforgivable. I, Saito Masaki, swear to Amaterasu that I will never stop until I catch this man and severely humiliate him.”

The bombing of the warehouse, the tragic situation in Ikeda, the numerous bones in the prison, and most importantly, the loss of his left ear, had all made him lose his patience and reached the breaking point.

He planned to personally lead his men to pursue him and vowed not to give up until Wei Jichen was crushed to ashes.

The capital was the political center of the Qing Dynasty.

This is the time of morning dynasty.

The civil servants and generals of the Qing Dynasty were trembling and kneeling in the middle of the hall of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City.

The decoration of the Hall of Supreme Harmony is very luxurious, with dense dougongs under the eaves, and the highest-level Hexi paintings on the beams and beams both indoors and outdoors. The upper parts of the doors and windows are inlaid with diamond patterns, the lower parts are embossed with cloud and dragon patterns, and the joints are decorated with gilt copper leaves engraved with dragon patterns.

In the middle of the hall hangs the plaque "Jianji Suiyou" written by Qianlong himself, but the plaque that was supposed to be shining with golden light now looks a little dim and gloomy.

Guangxu, the leader of the Qing Dynasty, was supposed to be sitting on the gold-lacquered cloud-dragon-patterned throne in the center of the palace. At this moment, he stood up and glared at the ministers.

"You said that there are more than 30,000 Japanese people, and our Qing Dynasty's army on the Yalu River is also more than 30,000 people. I just can't figure out why we, as the defender, are defeated again and again! The ancestral foundation of our Qing Dynasty is It will be ruined in the hands of incompetent people like you." Guangxu became more and more excited as he spoke, pointing downwards while dancing and shouting angrily.

The three eastern provinces were the land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty, and even the land of Longxing was occupied by the Japanese. Guangxu really couldn't afford to lose that person, so he became very angry.

"Cough, cough!"

A soft cough came from the curtain behind the throne, followed by a soft and lazy female voice: "Your Majesty, you are in trouble today, so please pay attention to your royal manners."

Guangxu bent down slightly and said softly to the back: "This is what my father taught me."

"Continue!" the person in the curtain said again.

Guangxu then turned around and looked directly at Li Hongzhang, the Minister of Beiyang, and said: "Li Hongzhang, Mr. Li, please say something and explain to me why the Japanese landed at Huayuankou for more than ten days before we got the news. You What do the troops under my command do?"

While the Japanese First Army was attacking the Yalu River defense line, more than 25,000 men of the Second Army under the command of Dashanyan, under the cover of Japanese ships, landed at Huayuankou on the road behind Lushun. Because Li Hongzhang was determined to protect Port Arthur, the Qing army did not fortify the port here, making a very serious strategic mistake.

Li Hongzhang, who was lying on the ground, quietly wiped away his cold sweat and replied in a slightly frightened voice: "Your Majesty, I deserve death for my crime. I really didn't expect the Japanese to be so bold."

"Where is your Beiyang Fleet? Why are you hiding in Weihaiwei and not daring to go to war!"

"Back to the emperor, the Beiyang Fleet suffered heavy losses in the Battle of the Yellow Sea. Now it is no longer an enemy of the Japanese fleet. Only by defending the port and occupying the ground can we compete with the Japanese fleet." Li Hongzhang said without hesitation.

As soon as Li Hongzhang finished speaking, Weng Tonghe, the Minister of Military Aircraft kneeling in front of him, said in a strange tone: "Master Li is trying to conserve his strength. How can we, with millions of troops in the Qing Dynasty, be no match for the tens of thousands of Japanese troops?" ! If the Beiyang Fleet could attack earlier and attack the enemy thousands of miles away, Mr. Li would probably be fully responsible for how the Japanese invaded our country."

Weng Tonghe was Guangxu's teacher. As the leader of the Qing Dynasty, he took the lead in the war and loudly stated that to deal with Japan, a small country, we could only fight and not make peace. However, this man sometimes did not distinguish between public and private affairs. When he and Li Hongzhang were suppressing the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement, something happened After being so dirty, I finally found the opportunity now, and I won't step on him harshly again.

When Guangxu heard Weng Tonghe's words, he felt unhappy. Today's Qing army, the Green Camp and the Eight Banners, are not strong enough to fight, and the Hunan Army is gradually weakening. The only one with some combat effectiveness is Li Hongzhang's Huai Army. If Li Hongzhang continues to work and fails to contribute, this country will That's it.

The tail is too big to fall off, Guangxu thought secretly: When the Sino-Japanese War is over, I must retrain an army, and this army must be in my hands.

Although Guangxu was unhappy in his heart, he didn't show it at all on his face.
