Back in the camp, Yishan put a smile on his face and said calmly: "Mr. Zhang, with your intelligence, you should be able to understand the matter of arresting people. At present, this is the only way to solve the problem of Sankou Pavilion." difficult problem, and then caused both the Russian army and Li Zhen to suffer losses. To solve the cancer of Li Zhen, for the final victory, the sacrifice of the people is valuable."
"Value, what value."
Zhang Zhidong had a sneer on his face and said in a deep voice: "Aren't the lives of the common people worth anything? They keep to themselves, don't cause trouble, and don't ask for wealth, but only for peace and security. They work hard to provide food for the Qing Dynasty and for the Qing Dynasty. Officials supply food. If there are no people, what will the officials eat, what will the emperor eat, and where will the money from the treasury come from? These are all supported by the people. Without the people, can there be a country? A country that has given up on the people can still be called a country. Is it a country? It’s ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous.”
Zhang Zhidong was furious and vented all the frustration in his heart.
He looked at Yi Shan with undisguised contempt in his eyes.
That look stimulated Yishan's little heart.
Yishan's expression turned gloomy, he flicked his sleeves and said in a cold voice: "Mr. Zhang, remember your duty. This matter ends here. We won't discuss it any more. You don't need to intervene in the matter of arresting the people. I will dispatch the generals myself." Go and execute it, you stay in the camp and think carefully about how to make Muravyov and Li Zhen both lose and achieve our goal of regaining Vladivostok. This is what you should do."
After finishing speaking, Yishan flicked his sleeves and turned around to leave.
As soon as he stood up, he realized that this was his tent. He cursed secretly and was so angry that he asked Zhang Zhidong to leave.
After Zhang Zhidong returned to the camp, he shouted: "Here comes someone."
After the words fell, a soldier walked in. Although this soldier was wearing the uniform of a soldier in the Yishan Army, he was Zhang Zhidong's confidant. He was a soldier from the Jiandao Battalion under Li Zhen assigned by Zhang Zhidong. Zhang Zhidong ordered: "You stay outside and don't let anyone in. Even if Yishan comes, you have to notify me first."
"yes."
The soldier turned and left, while Zhang Zhidong took out the letter paper, polished the ink and wrote a letter.
Zhang Zhidong wrote out Muravyov's ruthless strategy and asked Li Zhen to prepare as soon as possible.
Because Zhang Zhidong still didn't know what Li Zhenhui's plan was, whether he would sit back and watch the people being killed, or open the door and retreat, this was impossible to determine. Therefore, Zhang Zhidong did not propose what to do, but just wrote down the ins and outs of the whole thing clearly. Report it to Li Zhen and let Li Zhen handle it by himself. In addition, Peng Yulin is present in the military camp, as well as Long Ao, Lu Shaochuan and others, so Zhang Zhidong is not worried that Li Zhen can't come up with a solution.
The most important question depends on what Li Zhen plans to do.
After writing the letter, Zhang Zhidong called the soldiers in, handed the letter to the soldiers, and said seriously: "This letter contains the latest situation. After dark, you quietly leave the military camp and rush to Sankou Pavilion. Give the letter to the prince, remember, no one can read it except the prince, do you understand?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, I will definitely deliver it."
The soldier nodded solemnly, his expression serious and serious.
He waved his hand and the soldiers retreated.
On this day, Yishan and Muravyov sent a large army to attack the surrounding villages to arrest the people. Groups of Russian soldiers were dispatched, and groups of Qing soldiers were dispatched. The two armies each took different routes. direction.
After night falls, the three-kou pavilion is brightly lit, and the torches dispel the darkness.
On the tower, Li Zhen had not rested yet.
The soldiers rushed to Sankou Pavilion, saw Long Ao, and immediately said: "Master Long, I have something urgent to see the prince."
Long Ao confirmed the soldier's identity and led the soldier towards Li Zhen's study.
When Li Zhen saw the soldier, he raised his eyebrows. He knew this soldier because the soldiers sent to protect Zhang Zhidong were arranged by Li Zhen. Now that he saw the soldiers around Zhang Zhidong coming back for the first time, Li Zhen knew that he might be Something important has happened.
The soldier took out the letter from his arms and said, "Your Majesty, everything Mr. Zhang wants to say is in it."
Li Zhen opened the letter and started browsing.
After watching part of it, Li Zhen's expression became extremely solemn.
"Asshole, you idiot Muravyov, you idiot Yishan, fuck, they are all bastards." Li Zhen was full of swear words, groaning angrily, with blazing anger in his eyes, wanting to tear Muraviyo alive. Husband, Yishan, and Li Zhen stood up and walked back and forth in the study with their hands behind their backs.
Long Ao's mouth twitched as he heard one curse word after another, thinking that there were so many curse words today.
After a moment, Li Zhen looked at Long Ao and ordered: "Notify Peng Yulin, Lu Shaochuan and others immediately to hold a meeting immediately."
"yes."
Long Ao had doubts in his heart and immediately went to deliver the order.
The soldier went down to rest and wait for Li Zhen's reply.
Soon, Peng Yulin, Lu Shaochuan, Yang Luchan and others all rushed to Li Zhen's study. They all asked Long Ao what happened, but the results they got were that they didn't know, so they all looked at Li Zhen. Waiting for Li Zhen to reveal the answer.
Li Zhen picked up the letter and shook it, feeling very angry.
He slapped the letter on the desk and said: "The news came back from Zhang Zhidong. That old guy Muravyov ordered the arrest of the people in the surrounding villages, and that bitch in Yishan also agreed. The two were working together, and they were arrested during the day. Some people were arrested and imprisoned in the military camp. They wanted to arrest them for two days, which means there is still one day tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow they will drive all the arrested people to Sankou Pavilion and threaten me to open the door. If I don't open the door, Mulaviyo will My husband is going to kill five hundred people. If he doesn't agree in one day, he will kill five hundred people. If he doesn't agree in ten days, he will kill five thousand people. That old guy Muravyov can't take the three-kou pavilion. He is so anxious that he will jump over the wall to cause chaos. What do you guys think? ,what to do."
After the words fell, no one present spoke.
Muravyov's plan is too cruel.
Li Zhen continued: "We are all thinking about what to do. We must reply to Zhang Zhidong as soon as possible."
Peng Yulin asked: "Your Majesty, if you don't care about the people..."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Li Zhen interrupted directly: "I will definitely not ignore the people. When I was in Vladivostok, I once said that I will not abandon the people. This sentence is not official talk, it is true from the bottom of my heart. If the Russian army threatens the lives of the people, I will immediately lead the troops to retreat and abandon the Three-Kou Pavilion. Therefore, what we need to consider now is to protect the people and thwart Muravyov's conspiracy."
Lu Shaochuan said: "This is too difficult, there is only one way to retreat."
Long Ao said: "This matter is indeed not easy."
Peng Yulin thought carefully and did not speak.
Li Zhen's eyes fell on Peng Yulin and asked: "Old Peng, what do you think?"
Peng Yulin pondered for a moment and replied: "Your Majesty, there is no way to solve the problem of Muraviov holding people hostage. There is a certain room for maneuver, which can not only ensure the safety of the people, but also solve the current difficulties we are facing."
