Section 130 Mihara Nuggets (3)
Chapter 130 Sanyuan Nuggets (3)
Although Bao Chao said that because he hated Zhang Peilun, Teng Ziyu and others knew that Zhang Peilun might not be able to help Bao Chao, who was in charge of the province, had some solutions for himself. Everyone discussed it and did not know about Bao Chao, and they gathered a heavy gift and sent it to the room where Zhang Peilun lived.
Li Hongzhang, Zhang Peilun and his two followers lived in Sato Tomoro's mansion. Because the battle in Sanyuan City has not yet ended, there are personal guards inside and outside the mansion, and it seems that they are facing a great enemy that makes Cai Gengyang and other people who are common in life and death and blood. Zhang Peilun is just a judging in Fujian Province, and his rank is not even as good as Cai Gengyang. Unfortunately, the generals are not worth much. He is Li Hongzhang's beloved general. The so-called fighting dog depends on the owner. From this perspective, respecting him is a little beneficial for him.
Cai Gengyang knew that he had not read many books, and his errands fell on Wang Yu and Teng Ziyu. He presented the red sandalwood box filled with gold, silver, pearls and jade. The guest and the host were having fun for a while. Zhang Peilun also knew the purpose of everyone. He also heard about Bao Chao's scolding in public, but pretended not to know and coughed dryly, "Come here!"
The sliding door of the cross-division beside the wall opened lightly, and the two women were wearing kimonos and walked in with small steps, walked forward a few steps, knelt down and saluted, and said in very unskilled Chinese, "Sir, Lord."
"I ordered people to prepare for supper. I want to keep all the generals for dinner."
Cai Gengyang recognized at a glance that the two women who came in were the hostess of Sato's family, Confinement and Miei. Looking at their timid appearance, they hadn't been enjoyed by Zhang Peilun, right? Bastard! I haven't tasted fresh yet! I remember they didn't speak Chinese at the beginning, and they learned it so quickly? "Sir?"
"You and I have a relationship with each other, just call me Youqiao."
"Okay. Brother Youqiao, is this?"
"Oh, I've forgotten that the older one who went out just now was confinement and the mistress of the Sato family, the younger one was Mihui, and the daughter of this family. Yes, I heard that General Cai Shen and General Wang Shen led their troops to the door for the first time?"
"Actually, it's not considered an attack. At that time, Lao Cai led the wrong path. When he walked to the end, he realized it was a dead end..." Wang Yu explained with a smile, and finally asked, "Sir, are the Sato family still honest?"
"Well, honest, very honest! Haha!" Zhang Peilun laughed proudly.
Wang Yu and Cai Gengyang looked at each other and smiled bitterly. This bastard must have tasted the sweetness! "I don't know where our army will move forward next?"
"Mainu received a letter from the court. The emperor said in his will that our army would take Mihara Castle and rest for three days, then march westward with Hu Xiaomao's troops from Fukuyama Castle to enter Okayama Prefecture from Hiroshima Prefecture. After occupying the prefecture, he attacked Kobe and Osaka Prefecture in Hyogo Prefecture, and waited for further orders."
Teng Ziyu felt a surge of pride in his heart. After the war between the Southern Army was over, he also talked about the next step. Everyone thought that the Southern Army would not be very likely to cross the entire Japanese territory to attack Tokyo. The number one contribution in the world was destined to be without one's own side. However, in addition, the importance of Kobe and Osaka is also extremely important. Although it is not as political as Tokyo, when it comes to actual gains, it is probably better than the capital of Japan!
"Then, what about Hiroshima Prefecture? What should I do? Do you ignore them?"
"The battle in Hiroshima Prefecture is not to be ignored for the time being. The emperor said that this place will be handed over to the follow-up troops of the third wave of landing. Before we set off, we left five thousand troops to stay here, clearing out the city, and being responsible for defending and waiting for assistance. Once the follow-up troops arrive, they will be divided into two troops to go north and go east to solve Hiroshima Prefecture and Okayama Prefecture's Dongcheng, Shingo, Luohe, Shinshu, Kamo, Tsuyama and other prefectures in Hiroshima Prefecture and Okayama Prefecture."
Although Zhang Peilun was not able to bear it, he was very knowledgeable and spoke clearly. "The actions of the generals were to go west along Fukuyama Castle. After passing Kasakatsu, he entered Okayama Prefecture, and then divided his troops into two groups, one by one to capture sorghum, fall into Heeshan, and then enter Hyogo Prefecture, along Nankwang to Himeji. The other was to take Kurashiki, Tamano, borrow, Yoshinaga, and Akaho entered Hyogo Prefecture, and then went to Himeji via Kafukawa. After Himeji Sushi, the two armies attacked Kobe together."
The maps of Hiroshima Prefecture and the neighboring Hyogo Prefecture are well known to the Qing generals. After hearing this, they calculated their own problems. The two routes have their own advantages and disadvantages. The routes of the previous route were longer, but they passed by small towns, so the battle should not be very fierce. The next route was full of hard bones, which was not easy to take. "Then, which route consists of whom? Can the general have a successful conclusion?"
"We have to wait until we reach Fushan City and discuss with Hu Junmen before we talk about this matter."
"I understand." Cai Gengyang nodded, "No matter where you go, you are fighting with the Japanese. Today I will lend you a seat with Lord Zhang. Brothers have a drink! See who completed the combat deployment first! The one who lost..." He couldn't think of any suitable lottery ticket for a while, and he was speechless.
"If you lose, you will be fined for two months of salary and ask your colleagues to have a drink."
"Okay!" Everyone agreed and confirmed the bet.
In the midst of a hustle and bustle, Li Hongzhang stepped in, "Ah, it's so lively! It's just that Bao Chunting is missing."
Wang Yu and Teng Ziyu both stood up, "See the Grand Marshal!"
"No need to give a tribute, no need!" Li Hongzhang laughed and nodded when he heard Zhang Peilun explain the purpose of everyone, "Come here, please come, Bao Junmen, we will never return without getting drunk tonight!"
In a moment, the chef prepared to serve the food and Zhang Peilun smiled and joked, "This matter can only be complained to all the generals. The best way to drink and drink is to be the best way of the generals in the army. However, the general was not allowed to take the servants in the army, but the emperor knew that the deliciousness of the generals was known. For this matter, he specially issued a decree to bring the chef and the chef. But I ate a lot of delicious food while raising the side!"
With a word, everyone laughed. "No need to say anything, it's just that the food in the army is really troublesome." Wang Yu said jokingly, "I originally found a few cooks from the local area, but the Japanese people's diet is really unacceptable. After using it for less than three days, Lao Cai drove them away! Only when the birds fade out of their mouths can they be found again and have a tooth sacrifice!"
This was the same for everyone. This time, there were many Sichuan soldiers following Bao Chao. The Sichuan flavor was special. The soldiers were used to eating their hometown dishes. It was so sad that they ate the Japanese food called light and slight ingredient. If it weren't for the discipline in the army, they would have killed a few people to vent their anger!
Li Hongzhang smiled and shook his head, "You are all inconsistent. The soldiers who are not as young as the twentieth century naturally cannot eat this taste. If the roots are as bright as the old man, the light taste of Japan is more suitable for health preservation."
"We are rough people, and we can't compare with adults." As he spoke, Bao Chao stepped in. He did not have the habit of slippers entering the house like the Japanese. He stepped on the tatami with yellow mud, leaving a dirty mark. He walked to the table a few steps and bowed to Li Hongzhang with his fists, "I have seen the great commander!"
"Chunting, there is only one less person in the dogwood plant, and you are the only one who is missing. Why did you come so late?"
"I just walked out of the city."
"Is there something wrong?"
"No." Bao Chao said, "just look at the Japanese people in the residence. In a few days, I am afraid that the team will set off. What should these people do?"
"All young men and women set out with the troops. They couldn't count on them in the war, but some servants did a great job." Li Hongzhang covered his mouth with his hands, yawned, and said again, "As for other old, young, women and children, I want to stay here for the time being. When the third wave of troops landed, I think the court will have a final say in the handling of these people, and then we will follow the order."
Bao Chao nodded repeatedly without thinking too much, but Wang Yu and others admired him: Li Hongzhang was indeed not fortunate! Although the placement of the Japanese people is not hindered by the overall situation, it is only a small matter, but it is this kind of small matter that shows his skills! If you say the truth but not the law, no one will have any objection after hearing it. This alone shows that he is indeed an old fox that has not fallen for decades! Compared to him, Zhu Hongzhang is really not only a fire!
His eyes rolled and he asked deliberately, "Master, have you heard of the matter of Huan?
"Some are just words that are eaten and heard, and I'm afraid I can't find out the details."
"As far as the commander saw, what should be the right and wrong of this matter?"
"How can you talk about right and wrong in this kind of thing? Zhang Yunlan is rude and unruly. How can you have any other sons except the emperor? Zhu Hongzhang knew that he would be so excited about this. Speaking of which, these two people could be considered as having a needle touched the wheat horn." After saying that, Li Hongzhang chuckled.
"Then, the matter is so big, the emperor must have a solution, right?"
"How can we hang out in the profound holy heart?"
Teng Ziyu's face turned red and she didn't say more.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Zhang Peilun picked up the wine glass, "Master, Bao Junmen, generals, I wish you all the best to report to the country and return the court as soon as possible!"
After resting and organizing in Sanyuan City for three days, most of the Qing army began to set off, walking along the mountain road, and heading towards Fukuyama City. In addition to the regular combat troops, there was also a labor force composed of nearly 8,000 Japanese people. Men and women were also pushing large trucks, but the things on the truck were slightly different. The former car was equipped with guns, cannons, equipment, food weapons, while the latter was pushing military uniforms and bedding, carrying some rice, flour, grain, and oil in a small amount.
It was only 300 miles from Sanyuan City to Fukuyama City, but the soldiers were fine. The people pushed the cart and moved slowly. In addition, August is the rainy season in Japan, and the mountain roads are muddy, so we must prevent the collapsed rocks that may slip on the mountain. Therefore, walking was particularly difficult. It took five days to finally walk out of the mountain path and see the outer wall of Fukuyama City.
Although Bao Chao and Hu Xiaomao did not work in the same province, they were both old friends. Seeing Hu Xiaomao personally led people to wait in front of the city gate, Bao Chao laughed and immediately stepped forward, "Hu Junmen? I haven't seen each other for many years, how are you?"
"Brother Duomeng Bao asked, everything is fine." Hu Xiaomao jumped off the horse and bowed to the other party on the horse. "Mr. Bao has come from afar, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard, it's not hard. But you guys, you have won the blessings of the whole world and are admirable!"
This sentence is said, it would be fine if Lu Bingli and others behind Hu Xiaomao, but Wang Shiyao, Huang Neng and others all changed their colors! Bao Chao is very unaware of the matter! He knew that the military gate regards the battle in Fushan City as the greatest shame, but now he mentioned it in person, isn’t it intentionally embarrassing?
Hu Xiaomao also had a sluggish expression and shook his head with a forced smile, "Mr. Bao has been rewarded. Fushan City was defeated, and it was all because of the incompetence of the three armies. If the emperor had not sent reinforcements early, I was afraid that you and I might not be able to talk here today!"
Bao Chao did not intend to humiliate the other party. He spoke out loudly and said whatever he thought of. After saying that, he immediately regretted it. He got off immediately and took a few steps closer, "Xiao Hu, don't be angry, I have no intention of being on the side. It's just..."
"I understand."
"That's it!" Bao Chao laughed, "Speaking of this time, you, Xiao Hu, are the most popular in the South Road, and wiped out tens of thousands of enemy troops, greatly increasing the prestige of our Celestial Empire. By the way, I heard that I had arrested a Japanese lieutenant general?"
"No." Hu Xiaomao explained, "It was shot dead on the spot and no living was caught."
"That's enough to make you majestic. Not even Lao Hu, right?"
"To be honest, I haven't seen him for a long time."
"I'm not afraid, the family will have a chance to meet sooner or later. When I completely defeat the little Japanese, I'll invite you brothers to two!"
Hu Xiaomao nodded and smiled. He thought of his brother far away for Bao Chao's words, and felt a warmth in his heart. Brother, are you okay?
