On the same day, the telegram returned to Xuan Jianzhang's hands.

This is the benefit of modern communication conditions. Not only the army, but now almost all China, including the Qing court, all large, medium and small cities have their own telegraph bureaus, and all Chinese banks and merchants.

Where there are Chinese businessmen, communication is not a problem.

Xuan Jianzhang directly called the cute president to Yi Li to show.

Yi Li was overjoyed after seeing this, "I didn't expect that the president is still good. It's better, let's fight, but Hua Jun couldn't get in. He divided the five or six thousand people in my hands into half, fighting backwards and not fighting hard. Let's see what to do if he, Li Hongzhang?"

Xuan Jianzhang nodded with a smile, "Everything will be arranged by the Prince of Ji himself. It is not convenient for me to give advice on this kind of thing. If you need any help, you can come to me at any time."

"It's not helpful. Anyway, there are no firearms, they are all big swords and spears. It depends on whether Li Hongzhang is ruthless. If Li Hongzhang fights back hard, we are just right! Commander Xuan, please use Huacui Evening News to promote us. It is said that Prince Chun was insulted by Li Hongzhang during a peace talk with Li Hongzhang. Our unified inspection team decided to declare war on Li Hongzhang when he could no longer bear it!"

"Okay." Xuan Jianzhang agreed to Yi Li's request with a smile. He thought Yi Li was fun and the unified inspection team? I don't know how you came up with such a foreign name?

Yi Li quickly went back to arrange personnel. During this period, a loose group of Eight Banners Smoky Army, at the suggestion of Yi Li, also invited several platoon leaders of the Chinese army to come to help with simple training. Otherwise, not to mention fighting, they would not be able to walk well.

The large army march is really not something that ordinary people can do by just walking around.

Li Hongzhang was frightened when he saw the news from Huacui Evening News. He did not expect that Hua Guo really wanted to beat him, so he was so anxious that he was in a hurry.

"Sir, let's run away quickly? How can we deal with more than 20,000 Chinese troops? " Sheng Xuanhuai advised.

After the Qing court was equally dead in name only, Li Hongzhang's Huai Army also reduced sharply due to several major battles with the Chinese army outside the pass. After the sharp decline, he could not get any money to replenish it. Therefore, the army was getting smaller and smaller, with only 20,000 people left, and Li Hongzhang was led by his side.

"Run? Where to run? Can you run out of China? Could you run to the territory of foreign devils? Even if labor and capital die, they will die in China!" Li Hongzhang said angrily. He was still very clear about this. He said that Li Hongzhang was a traitor and obviously wronged the old man. "You go and pass the orders and let everyone resist the death. No fight back! You must not leave the city!"

Sheng Xuanhuai was stunned, "This, Lord Zhongtang, what if they attacked hard?"

"No matter how they attack, it's up to one day to one day if they can defend." Li Hongzhang said helplessly.

"Okay, I'll tell the camp immediately." Sheng Xuanhuai continued, but he was thinking about running away quickly. Once the Chinese army participated in the attack, he would definitely not be able to defend it. The image of the Chinese army in everyone's mind is invincible. The army with all rifles is terrible when placed in Europe.

Three days later, on February 22, 1877.

Yili's army attacked Li Hongzhang's army in Wuhan.

After playing for more than ten days, both sides seemed to be acting.

But the national public opinion does not view it this way. This is the Qing army's war against the Qing army. Public opinion is in chaos. Some supporters of China and some supporters of Li Hongzhang.

However, the majority of people support China, and everyone is increasingly aware of the situation. It is because the cute president does not want to have a large-scale bloody war, so he uses a peaceful solution!

Moreover, China is very good at building momentum. The more Li Hongzhang dares to fight back, the more powerful the newspapers promote it. How do you think when everyone sees the Huai Army, who is known as the world's number one, cannot defeat the big smoke army like Yi Li?

Originally, the people in the Qing court still had a little fantasy. After all, protecting the people depends on the army!

The cute president originally did not intend to contact Li Hongzhang, but after thinking for a long time, he decided to ask the president's secretariat to call Xuan Jianzhang, and Prince Yili Chun sent someone to submit it to Li Hongzhang.

The meaning of the cute president is probably this: You are my teacher, why go to Hubei first? Because your place is more important than Zuo Zongtang, and your relationship is closer to me. If the teacher is not reminiscent of old love, the Chinese army will attack soon!

The most lethal last - the Chinese army attacked soon. If these words are true, once the Chinese army really attacked, it would not only be the current situation. No one knows how powerful the Chinese army is now, but not long ago, they sent 20 divisions and more than 400,000 troops to participate in the National Day military parade!

Not to mention that they all came with guns and cannons, the cute president's army even came over naked, and the 20,000 people from the Huai Army could not resist it!

"Cease the fight, no more fight, surrender, I surrender Xuan Yuemeng." Li Hongzhang sighed in pain, but after sighing, he seemed to have relaxed and put down the big stone in his heart. After all, the unification of China is already imperative. It is also very good that he can be the first local official to join China!

Moreover, Li Hongzhang brought not only tens of thousands of troops, but also more than half of the Qing court territory. In terms of controlling territory and officials, Li Hongzhang was far above Zuo Zongtang!

Prince Chun came to Hanyang again to meet Li Hongzhang.

This time, Li Hongzhang still came out to greet him in person, but his face was not as good as the last time. He let go of his worries, but he still was unwilling to accept it after surrendering like this!

Prince Chun smiled and said, "Li Zhongtang, will you meet so soon?"

"Prince Chun, please don't make fun of him, please." Li Hongzhang made a gesture of invitation, lowered his head, and welcomed Prince Chun into his mansion.

"The president's meaning is that surrender does not come with any conditions. The army accepts the reorganization of the Chinese army on the spot. Some people are included in the Chinese army system. Others are discharged and arranged work. The entire southwest is merged into China. The Chinese country will immediately send officials to accept it. Li Hongzhang was appointed as the president's consultant and ranked in the top twenty in the Chinese administrative system." Prince Chun announced the order of the cute president to Li Hongzhang.

Li Hongzhang sighed, there was no room for bargaining, and he remained silent.

Prince Chun smiled and said, "Shaoquan, I have already decided to join China and I am still worried about it? You are the president's teacher, what are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid, but I'm not afraid, okay, I agree." Li Hongzhang sighed.

Prince Chun laughed, "Okay, please sign and take photos, this is a historic moment."

Bang!

As soon as the camera took a photo, the photo of Li Hongzhang and Prince Chun shook hands was immediately frozen at this moment forever.
Chapter completed!
