But when Zhang Yi received that the German minister Klinder was chopped into 'meat' mud by the Boxers and Gan soldiers, he finally couldn't sit still, pit father, after all, Zhang Yi is not a god, and his previous life is not a history, he didn't know that Klinder would end up like this, a country's plenipotentiary minister was chopped up, this is definitely a big hole, how to fill it?
Zhang Yi now even has the heart to strangle Cixi and Zaiyi, originally based on his relationship with Kaiser Wilhelm II and the United States, the possibility of persuading the two countries to withdraw their troops is very great, now it's okay, the minister of the other family is dead, and the death is so miserable, what should I do? If you put it on yourself, you will definitely not give up easily!
Zhang Yi shouted: "Zhenhai, immediately let Li Fangzheng come to see me, and bring all the information about the great powers against us China!" ”
A moment later, Li Fangzheng came to Zhang Yi's office.
Zhang Yi said in a deep voice: "Fangzheng, tell me about the overall situation of various countries now!" ”
Li Fangzheng sorted out his thoughts and said: "President, first of all, now Nikolai of Tsarist Russia can't sit still again, and he wants to avenge last year's one-shot revenge again. The information we have received is that Nikolai has mobilized an army of 200,000 men, all the way across the Tangnu-Ulianghai, through the outer 'Mong'gu, and directly attacked the inner ' All the way from Western Siberia to mobilize a large army, directly attack our Heilongjiang, and another one, through the Tsarist Russia's Pacific Fleet through the Atlantic, through the Suez Canal, through Southeast Asia, to Vladivostok, this time they transported more than 80,000 troops, some of which will stay in Tianjin, to participate in the conquest of the Qing Dynasty by the coalition forces of various countries, most of which will be concentrated in Vladivostok, to launch a war against Jilin! ”
Zhang Yi asked: "How many troops have they mobilized in total, I want to be detailed!" ”
Li Fangzheng replied: "Among them, from the direction of Outer Mongolia, Tsarist Russia has mobilized 60,000 troops, including two cavalry divisions and two infantry divisions; second, in the direction of Heilongjiang, the Russian army has gathered 70,000 troops, and now all of them are concentrated on the other side of the Heilongjiang River; third, in the direction of Vladivostok, the Taipingyan fleet has transported 60,000 troops, plus the original 40,000 troops, and 100,000 troops will be gathered near Vladivostok!" At the same time, the Pacific Fleet has also been strengthened, and a large number of warships have been "withdrawn" from the "Baltic" Sea Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet to participate in the big war! ”
Zhang Yi frowned and said, "What about the Japanese side?" ”
Li Fangzheng then replied: "President, there are two voices in Japan now, one is represented by Emperor Meiji and Aritomo Yamagu, who strongly advocate sending troops to join forces with Tsarist Russia to invade the three eastern provinces again; One represented by Hirobumi Ito and Naofumi Tachimi, who advocated recuperation and recuperation, but only symbolized 'sex' sent troops to Tianjin to participate in the conquest of the coalition forces. ”
Zhang Yi looked at Li Fangzheng, and Li Fangzheng continued: "Now that Emperor Meiji has ordered troops to be dispatched, a large number of troops are being transported to Korea, and a part, about 20,000 people, has been directly transported to Tianjin, ready to participate in the Eight-Nation Alliance. ”
Zhang Yi sneered: "The little Japanese devil still doesn't seem to give up, then this time we will even grab North Korea in one go, and if we dare to blow up the stab, we will directly hit the Japanese mainland!" ”
Li Fangzheng said: "President, this time our situation is too grim, according to intelligence, small Japan is now going to gather 100,000 troops in Korea, plus the combined fleet participating in the war, the strength should not be underestimated, Japan and Russia have mobilized more than 300,000 troops, our pressure is too great." ”
Zhang Yi replied: "You don't have to worry about how to deal with the war, tell me the news of the great powers and the Guannai." ”
Li Fangzheng replied: "After the imperial court declared war on the eleven countries, in just two days, the allied forces of the great powers captured the fort at Dagukou, and on the fourth day occupied the whole of Tianjin, and now the whole of Tianjin is under the control of the great powers. Allied forces of more than 10,000 men were already 'approaching' the city of Beijing, but a few days ago, the Boxers and the allied forces destroyed the railway from Beijing to Tianjin, and the marching speed of the allied forces was seriously delayed. Now all countries have begun to send armed forces to China, especially Tsarist Russia, Japan and Germany, but I am afraid that by July, more than 50,000 troops will be gathered in the Guannai! It is possible that it will reach nearly 100,000 in August, and the Qing army will definitely not be able to withstand such a large number of troops! ”
Zhang Yi nodded and said: "I know this very well, if the governors in the south go north to King Qin, there is still a slight possibility of turning the tables, but those governors will not send troops because of this nonsensical farce, wait, Yuan Shikai and they are estimated to have arrived in Shanghai now, and soon, their news will come over!" ”
At this time, Zhang Zhenhai hurriedly ran in and said, "President, Liu Wanlin from Anhui has sent an urgent call. ”
Zhang Yi frowned slightly, and said, "Read! ”
Zhang Zhenhai said loudly: "Your Excellency President Zhang Jianzhi, Cixi was forced by the powers, twice asked Quan Shuai to go north to preside over the overall situation, but Quan Shuai refused, this time Anhui Fu Deng Huaxi personally led people to forcibly take Quan Shuai to the capital, for us to startle away, but the crisis did not go, Yuan Shikai invited Quan Shuai to Shanghai in the east, the same was refused, once Yuan Shikai used force, it is unpredictable, the future will stop, please show the president!" ”
A sneer appeared at the corner of Zhang Yi's mouth, Yuan Shikai still hit Li Hongzhang with his idea, once this Li Hongzhang came forward, the hat of selling *** in the future will be decided, hum, I must let my old Zhang not die!
Zhang Yi said in a deep voice: "Call Liu Wanlin back, and at the same time tell Youqiao that he must say that he must move the old Zhongtang, let him go north and come to Fengtian!" ”
Zhang Zhenhai nodded in agreement and walked down.
Zhang Yi turned around, looked at Li Fangzheng, and said: "Fangzheng, concentrate all your efforts to collect intelligence from various countries for me, and any news I want must arrive in my office as soon as possible!" ”
Li Fangzheng's body was 'straightened' and he said loudly: "Yes, president!" ”
Zhang Yi continued: "Immediately notify all military and political dignitaries, except for Bagen, all attend, tomorrow morning, I will hold a military meeting, this time, we must move seriously!" ”
Li Fangzheng was taken aback and asked, "President, who are you?" ”
Zhang Yi said in a deep voice: "Now that the great powers have captured Tianjin, in a few days, the city of Beijing will be in danger, and we must respond in advance!" Li Fangzheng was somewhat dissatisfied, and replied: "President, now that we are the Republic of China, the affairs of the Great Qing Kingdom have nothing to do with us, what do you care about their life or death?" Zhang Yi said angrily: "Fart, hurry up and give me an order, tomorrow morning, no one is allowed to be absent!" ”
