Russia's plan is to hand over Jinzhou to the East China Government and introduce the military strength of the East China Government into Northeast China, so that the cooperative relationship between the East China Government and Japan will definitely break down, and Northeast China will become a situation in which the three forces contain each other, and no one dares to act rashly. It was also the most dignified way that Russia could get to end the war.

If, after the East China Government is introduced into the Northeast region, Japan does not intend to stop, Russia can still find a way to join forces with the East China Government, as long as it concedes some more benefits to the East China Government. Of course, these are all Russian ideas, but future development may not necessarily develop in the direction that Russia wants, because the contradictions between Russia and the East China Government are also irreconcilable, and this time they are completely using each other, and they may turn their faces at any time, so that after the East China Government is stationed in Jinzhou, perhaps the East China Government will join forces with Japan to deal with Russia, or although they will not join forces, they will still fight against Russia; or the East China Government will still stand still and sit back and watch Russia and Japan continue to fight, so Russia has put forward a limit on the number of People's Army stationed in Jinzhou, and also controls the strength of the People's Army intervening in the Northeast Region, but it does not want to have the wolf of Japan in the Northeast Region, and another tiger was introduced.

However, Russia is now anxiously hoping that the People's Army will be stationed in Jinzhou as soon as possible so as to balance Japan's superiority and change the situation in the northeast. Therefore, he was very active in promoting the negotiations, and he begged the People's Army to enter Jinzhou as soon as possible.

Due to the poor information of the East China government to the outside world, at the beginning, I thought that Russia had some conspiracy, but later learned from Germany that Russia was in turmoil, and then I knew that Russia was in a hurry to pull the East China government into the northeast, and from the experience of the old time and space, this time Russia's civil strife was indeed not small, and the Tsar Romantsev dynasty really almost took the stage, so it was relieved.

The East China Government believes that the restrictions on the number of people stationed in Jinzhou proposed by Russia are also acceptable, and anyway, they will take Jinzhou down first, and then increase the number of troops in Jinzhou in the future, and it is not up to them to have the final say, so the East China Government will not really abide by this agreement.

Since there was no objection from both sides, the agreement was naturally signed immediately, and Russia demanded that the East China Government be stationed in Jinzhou within five days, and the East China Government was also afraid of long nights and dreams, so it also agreed.

After the agreement was signed, the East China government immediately began to formulate a plan to enter Jinzhou, although the distance from Shandong to Jinzhou is not too far, if the sea route is about 300 kilometers, and the Bohai Sea is an inland sea, so the time to transport troops to Jinzhou within five days is completely sufficient.

But Jinzhou is not a coastal city, although not far from the sea, but also need to find a port near Jinzhou, as a sea route, of course, this location is not difficult to find, the East China government finally selected Huludao, about 50 kilometers southwest of Jinzhou. In the old time and space, Huludao was the most important port in the western Liaoning corridor, with deep water and wide ports, which could berth ships of 10,000 tons. Although Huludao is still just a small pier, it is enough for now.

It is not difficult for the troops stationed in Jinzhou to arrive, at least now the 15 standing divisions of the army are all training intensively, and several divisions can be pulled out at any time, transportation is not a big problem, and the navy's warships can be dispatched at any time. However, although Jinzhou was not the point of intervention for the East China government to join the war, due to the importance of its strategic location, it would certainly be a starting point for a battle after the East China government formally joined the war, so the garrison in Jinzhou would never be the strength of one or two divisions, at least the establishment of a field army.

Although the army has not yet set up a field army establishment, if it really participates in the war, it will definitely need this level of establishment, and it has already been considered when expanding the army, and the establishment of a field army is 3-4 divisions, plus 1-2 independent combat regiments under the army, and 2-3 reserve regiments, with a strength of about 50,000, with 1 A division and 1-2 ordinary divisions as the core, and a part of the reserve army, so that the entire army can organize 5-6 field armies as the main establishment of the participating troops. And the commanders of the five A divisions are actually trained as commanders of the future field army.

According to the plan, the field army should begin to be organized around March, but now because of the sudden opportunity to enter Jinzhou, the establishment of the field army will also be advanced, and after discussion, the Central Military Commission decided that the first field army will be formed by the 2nd Division, the 6th Division, and the 10th Division, and then equipped with one reserve division and regiment-level troops. For the time being, the commander of the 2nd Division, Qiu Yahui, is concurrently in charge.

Originally, the establishment of the first field army should have been formed with the 1st Division as the core, but Luo Yue, the former commander of the 1st Division, went to the Marine Corps, and the successor to the division commander was Liu Tie, the former deputy division commander.

Of course, it is impossible to pull the 1st Field Army to Jinzhou now, first of all, only the 2nd Division will be dispatched, and the deputy commander of the 2nd Division, Ran Runfeng, will act as the division commander. Qiu Yahui remained in Qingdao to take charge of the establishment of the 1st Field Army.

The 2nd Division's overall arrangement was that the 1st Regiment would be stationed in Jinzhou, which would also meet the 3,000 limit proposed by Russia, with the 3rd Regiment stationed at Huludao, and the 2nd Regiment and other units under the division stationed in the Tashan area west of Jinzhou, which could not only protect Jinzhou's flank, but also cover Huludao.

In addition to military personnel, more than 300 administrative personnel and more than 500 police officers were also organized to go to Jinzhou together, on the one hand, to gain a foothold in Jinzhou, and on the other hand, to use Jinzhou as a springboard to prepare for entering the northeast region in the future. About 1,500 engineers are needed to expand the wharf and build a railway, road, and fort along the road from Huludao to Jinzhou.

On the evening of February 4, 1905, the Navy sent the 1st Cruiser Detachment and the 1st Destroyer Detachment of the Mountains to escort the 1st Regiment of the 2nd Division to Jinzhou from Yantai Port, accompanied by a total of 12 transport ships, in addition to the 1st Regiment, there were about 500 engineers and corresponding engineering materials. Arrive at Huludao at 12 noon the next day.

At this time, the Russian army stationed in Huludao was only 60 people, and two small gunboats of less than 100 tons. It turned out that after the war between Japan and Russia, the Qing court declared neutrality and demarcated the war zone, basically dividing the entire Liaodong Peninsula into the war zone between Japan and Russia, while the western Liaoning region was not in the war zone, and planned to garrison troops in the western Liaoning region to prevent the war from spreading to the Guannai. However, Russia did not recognize the war zone demarcated by the Qing court, and insisted on refusing to allow the Qing army to be stationed in the western Liaoning region, forbidding the Qing army to cross the Shanhai Pass, and threatening the Qing court that if the Qing army left the pass, then Russia would send a large army to enter the pass.

It was not until May 1904, when the war in Russia was unfavorable, that the Qing court negotiated with Russia again, and Russia gave in and allowed the Qing army to leave the customs and station in Chaoyang County, Gubeikou and other areas, but only one battalion of troops was allowed to be stationed, and it was not allowed to cross the scope of the station. In fact, at this time, the total strength of Russia in the western Liaoning region was less than 1,000 people, and if the Qing court was a little tougher, it could drive all the Russian troops out of the western Liaoning region.

After seeing the KPA fleet, the Russian troops guarding Huludao could not help but be taken aback, because the Russian army had already received a notice that it was going to let the KPA enter Jinzhou, but the total strength was only 3,000 people, so how could there be more than 20 ships, and there were more than 10 warships, how many people were there? There must be more than 3,000 people.

At this time, the fleet had approached a place 4 or 5 kilometers away from the wharf, and issued a flag to the wharf, indicating its identity on the one hand, and asking the wharf to send a guide ship to guide the warships to dock.

However, Dudayev, the lieutenant in charge of guarding Huludao, hesitated a little at this time, and faintly felt in his heart that the opponent seemed to be not good, so Dudayev ordered that the other party first send a representative ashore and negotiate with him clearly.

After the flag on the shore was issued, it didn't take long to see that many of the other party's boats had lowered their boats, loaded with soldiers and rowed to the shore, Dudayev counted them, there were 10 small boats, each with about 30 people on board, and they were all fully armed, even thinking with their legs, and knowing that they definitely did not come ashore to negotiate.

At this time, a Russian soldier beside him said: "Lieutenant, they don't seem to be very friendly, do you want to fire to stop them." When the other Russian soldiers heard this, they all looked a little eager to try.

Fortunately, Dudayev's mind is still quite sober and he is able to stop the other side? What kind of method of stopping, now there are only more than 30 Russian soldiers on the dock, and they are not even satisfied with the dock, while the other side has about 300 people in this round? Can it be stopped? Although there are still two simple batteries on the dock, there are a few old front-loading guns, and the other side has more than 10 warships, and the guns at this time are all pointing at the dock, at least 3. With 40 artillery pieces of various calibers, Dudayev had no doubt that the other side could completely destroy the dock with a salvo, and he had indeed received an order to hand over Jinzhou to the other side, so it was better not to have much trouble at this time.

In fact, at the time of departure, Deng Zhonghan, commander of the first regiment of the People's Army, and Lu Kai, commander of the 1st cruiser detachment, had already obtained the authorization of the Military Commission, and if the Russian army prevented the People's Army from going ashore, then there would be no need to be polite, and they would immediately force the landing, and even did not hesitate to start a war with the Russian army, after all, it had come to this point, and it was impossible for the East China government to turn back, and anyway, there were not many Russian troops left in western Liaoning. Therefore, when the Russian army did not send a guide boat, but asked the KPA to send someone ashore to negotiate, the KPA put down two companies of troops to land in one go, and also lowered two small boats to survey the waterway and prepare for the ship to dock.
