Song Qing held a military combat meeting again in the Qing army camp about twenty miles away from Fuzhou.

This time, the atmosphere in the main tent was obviously much more dull than the previous few times. During the previous few combat meetings, the generals expressed their opinions and spoke actively.

This time, most of them had a gloomy face and lowered their heads.

Song Qing sat in the first place, while Wei Jichen stood in the first position with his left hand because of his prestige.

The others stood in sequence according to the size of the military post.

"Everyone, I believe everyone has received news. The Weihaiwei Navy Base was captured by the Japanese, and the Beiyang Fleet was also seriously injured. Zhongtang is about to set off for peace talks in Japan. Before that, Zhongtang hopes that we will take Fuzhou and win some favorable conditions for the peace talks." Song Qing said with a sad face.

Obviously, the demise of the Beiyang Fleet also had a great impact on him, not only on him, but also on all the Chinese teams.

Wei Jichen stood below and began to think about his future path.

After the war is over, where should I go?

After the war, the Qing government would take the opportunity to withdraw its military power and gather countless troops inside and outside Shanhaiguan, either being broken up or adapted.

This is how the Huai Army system and the Hunan Army system disappeared into the long river of history.

Then, the Qing government trained new recruits and wanted to firmly concentrate military power in its own hands, and trained five military guards to guard the capital, front, back, left, right, and middle.

There are three of these five armies related to the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895:

The Wuwei Front Army, the president of Nie Shicheng, was the leader of the Wuwei Army. It was precisely because of his performance in the Sino-Japanese War that the court allowed him to draw elite troops from each battalion and finally train an elite army. The front army was the strongest combat power and most well-equipped unit among the Wuwei Army.

Unfortunately, with Nie Shicheng's death in battle, the Eight-Nation Alliance invading China, this army could not escape the fate of reorganization, allowing Yuan Shikai, who was far away in Shandong, to preserve his strength, thus completely changing the subsequent development of the Republic of China's history.

One is the Wuwei Right Army that Yuan Shikai relied on for his rise. This army was originally planned to be trained with Western military tactics and sent to the battlefield of Sino-Japanese War. Unfortunately, before this army could go to the battlefield, the war was over.

The left army of Wuwei was the Song Qingyi army above who was worried about the current situation. It was also because of his remarkable performance in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 that the Qing court asked Song Qing to draw elite troops to train.

As for the Wuwei Rear Army, it was Dong Fuxiang's Gan army, which should be considered an old-fashioned army.

The Wuwei Central Army is even less worth mentioning. The Wuwei Central Army, commanded by Ronglu himself, has a large number of Eight Banners children. When the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, the army stationed in Nanyuan did not even have a trace of waves, and it disappeared quietly by itself.

Therefore, it seems that no matter how the reorganization or dismissal is adapted, the Qing court dares not go too far with the meritorious army. Their own Wei army is already well-known, and the court will not forcefully dismiss and adapt it forcibly.

Only those troops that are constantly defeated will give the court an excuse to dismiss the court.

Although the court did not have an excuse to dismiss his Wei army, it was not easy for Wei Jichen to think of Cixi's dislike for him, and it was not easy for him to develop with peace of mind.

Since he has this super military assistance system, Wei Jichen feels that it is best to choose to develop in a chaotic and rich place.

Only by being in chaos can one earn meritorious value.

Due to Cixi's distrust of herself, she could not jump under her nose, making her blind. Therefore, this place was also high and far away from the emperor, so there were very few places to choose.

Wei Jichen's heart moved, wasn't he just stepping on a piece of his feet?

Not bad, it is the Liaodong Peninsula.

The Liaodong Peninsula was originally a territory that the Japanese wanted to cut off, but due to the intervention of Germany, France and Russia, China was able to redeem it with silver. Unfortunately, although it was redeemed, this territory has been in trouble since then.

Japan had to withdraw from this place, and was unwilling to accept it, so their infiltration into Liaodong never stopped.

Russia is also here for its own interests.

The forces of China, Russia and Japan are constantly fighting here, so why worry about not being able to earn meritorious points?

Another point is that Liaodong is now being labeled like this, and North Korea has essentially become a Japanese colony. The court will definitely be afraid of the Japanese invasion again. As long as he moves a little, Cixi will probably agree to his Wei army defending this place.

First, her reputation made the Japanese dare not act rashly, and second, the situation in Liaodong was complicated, and Russia and Japan were all here to get involved. Since Cixi did not want to see herself grow, it would be just right for her to throw her Wei army here.

Since you have chosen to develop here, let’s see if there is a foundation here.

Well, in addition to a smaller population, Liaodong has rich resources, and Lushun and Dalian Bay are all right next to the sea, so you can also develop your navy silently.

However, if you choose a place in Liaodong, you will not have much time to develop. In just a few years, Russia will regard itself as a hero who returns Liaoning and occupy Lushunkou and Dalian Bay.

Therefore, either he would not develop the navy for the time being, or he would have to develop before the Russians took action, otherwise it would be a mess in the end. Wei Jichen suddenly felt a strong sense of time rush.

The task is arduous and the time is seriously insufficient.

Otherwise, we can not develop the navy for now, but this naval system is too wasteful, and Wei Jichen is not willing to see the largest and most important military port in the north fall into the hands of the Russians. He was very confused for a moment.

Damn, what are the time travelers doing? They are here to change history, not to mention that they have brought such an amazing super military assistance system.

If you can't even solve this difficulty, it's better to find a quiet place to stay for half your life as soon as possible. Unfortunately, in this era, there is almost no quiet place to find, so you can only strive and move forward.

"Zijie, Zijie! What do you think?" Song Qing, who was sitting on it, couldn't help but ask.

Wei Jichen finally recovered and was still having a meeting here.

If people have no future plans, they will have immediate worries. Why do you think so much now? Let’s solve the problem first.

The navy must have a lot of money to smash, but now his private property is not enough to get stuck in the gap. When Wei Jichen thought of this, he suddenly felt aroused his heart.

"Shistor Song, now the army is exhausted, and the battles have not been captured by Fuzhou for several consecutive battles. In addition, the news of the defeat of the navy has been heard, and morale has fallen even more. The boy thinks it is better to take a break for a while." Wei Jichen's words were astonishing, which made everyone stunned for a moment.

Wei Jichen decided to fight. Now, the reason why the army has been unable to conquer Fuzhou is that the Japanese in Fuzhou City gathered the forces of two brigades.

Another one is that the fighting desire of the Zhong** team is getting smaller and smaller. Without the blessing of Wei Jichen's military advisor skills to boost morale, the Qing army returned to its original form.

The soldiers are no longer the kind of death who is desperate. Not to mention losing more than half of the money, as long as they lose more than a hundred people, they will start to stop moving forward. It would be strange if they can attack.

The reason why Wei Jichen suggested a temporary rest was because he wanted to obtain command so that he could continue to release military skills and boost morale.

To obtain command, of course there is no need to kill Song Qing.

Wei Jichen just wanted to make him seriously ill and could no longer command. Then, with Song Qing's emphasis on Wei Jichen, he would most likely voluntarily hand over the command to him temporarily.
