4986 Little officials are sometimes better than officials
Li Tuo slept so heavily. He kept lifting it to Jinshui Bridge before the cold wind woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw the majestic Forbidden City and screamed in fear, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Sixi said nervously from the side, "Mr. Li Tuo, Long live to ask you to go to the palace to discuss matters, you have to hurry..."
"Let me down, what is my identity, how dare I enter the palace like this? We are so familiar with each other, don't cheat me..."
Xiao Sixi ordered people to put down Li Tuo, "Hurry up, Your Majesty is waiting in Taimiao, so he trots..."
I woke up halfway and had no place to get horses. The group rushed straight to Taimiao. When Li Tuo rushed into Taimiao, the east was already a little lit up.
The ministers who gathered to talk in the square saw the group running back again, and the leader was still an acquaintance.
"Hey... Isn't this Zhang Jing, the Military Affairs Office's surname, Li... Why did he run in front?"
"Don't you know? This kid is named Li Tuo. He is doing well in the palace. Lord Fuqing promotes him to be an aide... He must have the latest emergency military information to report!"
"It's bad. Did the rebels take advantage of the victory and pursue it, and have already attacked the capital..."
Amid the whispers of the ministers, Li Tuo ran up the imperial steps and knelt three times outside the gate of Taimiao, "Little Minister Li Tuo, long live my emperor..."
With a creaking sound, the heavy door opened a crack again, and Zai Chun's tired voice came from inside, "Come in... don't be a kowtower insect!"
Li Tuoxin was in his throat. He had never been to Taimiao before. He only felt that the environment here was even more gloomy than the three halls. Maybe it was because of the spiritual plaque. The yin energy in the entire hall was in the bones.
Fuqing wanted to kneel after seeing Li Tuo come in, so he grabbed his hand: "Your Majesty told you not to kowtow. When is this time? What is the military situation on the front line? Do you have a solution?"
Li Tuo was stunned, "Sir! I am a counselor who entered the curtain... This... such a big military and national event is really not something that a little minister can talk too much!"
"Nonsense! The country is in danger, how dare you retreat? You retreat, are you worthy of the brothers who died on the battlefield?" At this point Fuqing suddenly cried out, "By the way... have we brought back the corpses of our dead brothers? When I was awake, I heard that you sent Shimazu Dairo and the Fusang people to negotiate?"
“How did it turn out…”
It was enough to say this, and Li Tuo had to speak. Originally, he came back to the city at night from Yongdinghe to report on the battle situation to Fuqing, but he didn't dare to neglect the question when he heard the question.
"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, Prince... Dear Lords, the ministers are not qualified to command the Chinese officers and soldiers. This negotiation to constrain the corpses was spontaneously passed by members of the Chinese Foreign Legion's sword drawing team!"
"It is indeed the only way at this moment. It is always easier for a group of Fusang people to negotiate with the rebels than us!"
"I received news on the way to retreat north that the Chinese Shimazu Sang had already negotiated with the Japanese devils for seven days. In seven days, the rebels allowed Shimazu Sang to hire civilians and use seven days to collect the bones..."
"At this moment, two huge cremation sites have been opened along the Zhuozhou Chengbei Railway. I arranged several trains to send firewood, coal, urns and other supplies to Shimazu Sang and others..."
"Now the first batch of ashes of more than 1,000 brothers have been sent back by train... I will temporarily store these ashes in the warehouse of Qinghe Industrial Zone. When you have time after the war, you will worship and bury them..."
"Please rest assured that the soldiers of Xishan Camp and the New Imperial Army, I heard that the corpses of the brothers can be brought back, and their emotions have stabilized..."
Everyone gave a breath, Zaichun said, "This matter is indeed because the court owes the Chinese people a favor..."
Fu Qing shook his head, "It's not that simple. We can only owe Luo Huo a favor for the time being, because the support we get from beginning to end was given by the railway soldiers of Luo Huo Tianwang..."
"The Chinese government has not made any statements, and none of us can understand the details of the Chinese..."
Fuqing looked at Li Tuo and nodded, "How is the army's current state?"
"Sir Qi, the retreating brothers are repairing on the north bank of Yongding River. The Imperial Army and Xishan Camp who guard the capital have set out in batches to replace the retreating brothers..."
"I have drafted many military orders. When I came to the city late at night, I was waiting for the general's signature..." As he said that, Li Tuo took out a thick stack of military orders from his arms, all of which were drafted by him, waiting for the Ministry of War or the general's signature to use treasures.
Li Tuo showed everyone one by one that these military orders were all very detailed processes, how much cement, sand, wood, and I-shaped steel were allocated from Qinghe Industrial Zone...
How many reinforced concrete bunkers should be built for all the bridges on the Yongding River, and how much pontoon bridge wood should be prepared temporarily!
Xishan Arsenal, Xiangshan Arsenal, Beidaying, Tongzhou, Guangqumen... a list of materials allocations for arms warehouses in various places.
From bullets, shells, bayonets, military uniforms, wounded medicines... to leather goods, bowls and chopsticks, iron nails, kerosene, military rations... there are hundreds of kinds of materials, Li Tuo actually wrote them clearly, and even considered the materials for kidnap horses and grass.
He is truly worthy of being Zhang Jing from the Military Affairs Office. He has been dealing with these data all his life. It only took one day to retreat. The wounded soldiers were arranged and the reinforcements were replaced. Even the drawings for the deployment along the Yongding River were sketched.
"Your Majesty, sirs, it is actually feasible to rely on Yongding River to defend against the rebels... Although the snow disaster last year caused serious famine, the heavy snow also brought abundant water..."
"This year, the Yongding River has a very large water volume. Many places where you can usually walk across the river can no longer leave. There are only four places where you can cross the army's shallows. We have to defend here with heavy troops..."
"The largest bridge on the Yongding River is the Lugou Bridge, which requires strict defense. There are four stone bridges, six wooden bridges, and three wild ferry crossings..."
"Five stone bridges, including Lugou Bridge, annexed defense, and built permanent reinforced concrete bunkers... The rest of the wooden bridges and wild ferry crossings were demolished and burned..."
"The walls are clear and the fields are firm, and all the wood on the south bank of Yongding River is transported back to the north. I have ordered the burnt woods to set fire..."
"All ships were taken to the North Shore to guard them, and if necessary, a fire would be burned..."
"In this way, our troops at the sight of the elbow will be relieved... The minister is really anxious and asks the general to sign and use the treasure as soon as possible, otherwise I will not be able to transfer things!"
Li Tuo's mouth was very fast. After talking about these complicated defense plans for twenty minutes, the corners of his mouth foamed!
