C560 It's time to strike back

The guilty ones had to kill the ordinary citizens, while the middle ones had to cut off their hands and feet in order to fight off the enemy's morale. Even those auxiliary force who did not commit any small sins would need to work hard for a period of time to wash their brains and only then would they be able to relax.

Since the Qing Dynasty had started it, the new army would not hold back either. Xiao Letian used his pencil to go over the map of the Tanggu one more time: "From the south to the north, Little Station Town, Gou, Army Food City …" "If we go further north, all the way to the camp city south of the Ning River, this place will become the territory of our new army..."

"This county is a realm that I, Xiao Letian, have cut off from the Qing Dynasty. Their English and French can have this realm, so why can't I, Xiao Letian, have it?"

"Send troops up, take over the local security in the name of exterminating the bandit forces. Repeat the checkpoint according to the line I drew on the map …" "Whether it's the roads or the rivers, build permanent posts and send troops to guard them …"

"Aren't we the Green Battalion that has rebelled? Train well for a few months. In the future, they will be the garrison troops of the Tanggu …"

"The Shattered Waves and two more scissor boat, charge along the sea river, let the citizens of TIANJIN Wei see our majestic military might. Since the Qing Dynasty wants to play big, then we will play bigger …"

"What about the foreign engineers? What about the volunteers who volunteered to join our army? Arm them all together and attack the TIANJIN Wei... Let them call for compensation, saying that Maylor's army have taken their property, and they want to protest against the Qing Government … "

Xiao Letian continuously gave out orders, and his subordinates quickly recorded it down in their books. Each mission was assigned to a reasonable person of responsibility, and every two to three minutes, a messenger soldier would run out like a passing lantern.

"Prime Minister, can this be used to provoke Qing Dynasty? Would they be forced to deploy more troops to encircle and annihilate the enemy? Even if there was no army, what about the Qing San Ye? Madame is also in the Jingshan … " someone asked in the meeting.

Xiao Letian sneered and said, "I don't even need to explain this. Mister Pierre had already made his judgement a long time ago …" With that, Xiao Letian waved his hands towards Pierre, meaning for him to say a few words.

Pierre knew English and German, and Xiao Letian's officers could understand these two languages, so there was no problem communicating with the new army.

"As for the Qing Dynasty, my analysis is rather optimistic. Firstly, how much guts do you think they have to take action against a government that only knows of Xiao Letian's death? Now that Xiao Letian has returned back to China alive, do they still dare to fight? "

"Secondly, our Prime Minister possesses the first modern newspaper of the Qing Dynasty. This is a tool for public opinion that is even more powerful than those with the right words. He can easily tear apart Qing Dynasty's lies, do you think he isn't afraid?"

"The Last Point... Although the Prime Minister didn't give me too much information, but with the limited information before me, I can confirm that the Manchu's regime isn't as strict as I thought it was, and there must be more factions inside than I thought. "

Molière shrugged his shoulders, "I don't believe that our Prime Minister has no arrangements. The Qing San Ye you are talking about is also not an easy opponent … "

At this moment, a loud report came from outside the door. Wang Huaiyuan, Chun Sanshiniang wishes to meet the Prime Minister! "

"Come in …" You two are finally back. Everyone, stand up and clap your hands in thanks to Huaiyuan and Aunt Thirteen for helping us defend our old home! " Xiao Letian took the lead and stood up, filling the study room with applause.

Wang Huaiyuan and Chun Sanshiniang were stunned once they entered the room. The two of them never expected to be treated with such courtesy, especially Thirteen Niang, the famous big sister of the Beijing.

"I don't dare, I don't dare …" I am already ashamed that I did not manage to defend the capital! " The two of them hurriedly clasped their fists in apology.

"What kind of bullshit is that?" In terms of responsibility, I, Xiao Letian, admit that I, as the first person, did not insist on going to Europe, and the enemy would not take the opportunity to cause trouble.

After saying that, Xiao Letian personally moved two chairs over and placed them on his left and right, he grabbed Wang Huaiyuan in one hand and Thirteen Mother's other hand and forced his into the chair with the other.

~ Honor, this is truly a supreme honor. As a Transcender, Xiao Letian's life is filled with some subconscious equality that can warm the hearts of his subordinates.

Perhaps it was because of these small emotions that the cohesiveness of the guild was growing stronger and stronger.

"Reporting to Prime Minister, Beijing has indeed suffered heavy losses in our intelligence network, but what's fortunate is that we only lost third and fourth string spies, the real first and second string spies are all hiding pretty well. Basically, as long as the situation gets better, we can recover our intelligence network within three months …"

The capital has suffered a bit more, but there is also good news. Our local intelligence personnel s have barely received any damage, especially those spies from the counties and prefectures. They could easily be bought with a few hundred taels of silver.

This was the first time Thirteenth Mother participated in a high-level meeting and her words sounded a little unnatural. However, under Xiao Letian's encouraging gaze, she quickly calmed down.

"How is the situation with the Jingshan now?" Xiao Hexin asked with a sullen expression.

"It's very weird, very weird, Jingshan isn't in a complete deadlock right now, I don't know what this group of Manchu are doing, every day they would rush out in the morning and in the afternoon, they would attack and defend as if they were singing, they don't know what this group of Manchu are up to!"

In the mouth of Chun Sanshiniang, an incomparably eccentric battle picture of a Jingshan slowly unfolded in front of everyone.

Jingshan's offense and defense had lasted for half a month. Qing San Ye, the Forbidden City's Old Ancestor, her personal guards, along with the group of Death Soldiers under Er Mao's command, had a total of three hundred people guarding Jingshan like a metal barrel.

At first, Ci Xi was hoping that with more people, he would be able to get a spoonful of the meat. However, before he got to Er Mao, he actually hid countless advanced weapons in the Jingshan and the bottom of the North Sea Lake, especially the Spencer Gun. Now, Xiao Letian had secretly bought a 30% share of this rifle from Spencer Corporation.

There were also countless grenades and sufficient food supplies. This caused the morale of the Jingshan Guards to not drop at all. In the first three days, Ci Xi gave the order to kill. Waves after waves of people attacked him, the area of the Jingshan was already packed with a thousand people.

From time to time, the Old Ancestor would organize a group of Green Forest experts to defend and counterattack, hitting the attacker until he pisses his pants.

The thing that Ci Xi was most afraid of was that this Eastern Palace Empress Dowager, who was two years younger than her, would actually be so daring. Every time the battle was at its most intense, this crazy woman would actually show her face and personally stand at the top of the mountain to berate the attacking soldiers.

This sharp-tongued woman, who knew every officer in charge of the attack, could scold from the officer's ancestors all the way to his son. In his mouth, the righteousness of the king and officials had become a weapon even sharper than bullets.

The Manchu was more concerned with this matter, leading troops to encircle and annihilate the Empress Dowager of the East. This kind of thing was not bad for doing it in secret, but since it was already broad daylight, no one had any confidence anymore.

"Ci Xi's attack lasted for three days, after that the attack intensity decreased, as though both sides had reached a tacit understanding, every morning they would rush once, in the afternoon they would rush once, and after releasing a few rows of spear strikes, they would retreat, as though they had passed through a formality."

"Later on... Those Jiumentu Palace soldiers that surrounded the Jingshan actually started to take our bribes. The news about Hairy # 2 could be spread from the fifth day … We can even send in some food and medicine! "

Hearing that, Xiao Letian slammed the table hard. "Oh yeah... That's right! Ci Xi cannot guarantee a lightning-quick battle. If she did not succeed in decapitating him, he would have met with such a problem. I believe that Ceng Guofan still has more daoyin s that are beginning to pressure him! "

"That's right, Ci Xi is still very weak now, she can't even control the entire country. Everyone was stunned at the start of the coup, and everyone was watching from the sidelines, waiting for the daoyin to speak. At that time, the righteous monarch would be the last straw that broke Ci Xi's back then …"

"Therefore, I can guarantee that Ci Xi will either negotiate or have the final killing move. The great chaos in the capital will be right in front of us!"

After hearing Xiao Letian's words, everyone sat upright and said, "Prime Minister, please give the order! How do I let the New Army fight? As long as you give the order, we will attack the Beijing! "

Xiao Letian looked at the group of officers and nodded his head: "It is impossible to simply use force, but it is also impossible to not use force. We have to prepare everything, and get the Qing Dynasty to bring us to the Beijing using the palanquin, that would truly be impressive!"

His words stunned everyone present. The first one to speak was actually Molière! Aiyo? The large nose also learned a few Chinese words, he could understand such a deep idiom.

Just as Xiao Letian was about to explain to everyone, a cry came from the inner chamber. The cry was so loud that it startled everyone in the study in the front courtyard.

"What is this? Have they all gone mad …? " Just as Xiao Letian was puzzled, Fu Hui's old butler walked shakily to the entrance of the study, saying that she wanted to live yet didn't dare to.

Sima Yun was meticulous enough to know that the old butler had something to say. He quickly got up and invited him in, "Prime Minister, is there something wrong with the Inner Palace? "Old steward, please feel free to say anything …"

In the end, Sima Yun supported him and said, "Prime Minister, you have already held the meeting for an hour, and the Kitchen has already prepared a welcoming feast for the generals. Do you think we should go to the inner chamber to eat, or should we go together with the generals?"

"Also, Tanggu knows that Lord Zhou has been waiting at the gatehouse for a long time. This old servant wishes to report to you, but when Lord Zhou heard that Master has a military meeting, he did not dare disturb us. Why did he wait at the gatehouse?"

"Also, the inner chamber has gone crazy. The newspapers that the master gave them have caused the girls to cry and laugh at the same time. Even the manservant has stopped working …" I've hit him several times already, but I can't stop watching him.
