Chapter 293: Anger Ruins Russian and Japanese Ambitions
ο»Ώ
c_t; Compared with Zhang Yi's rapid reversal of the situation, re-assuming his post in Fengtian, taking charge of the three eastern provinces, and the Qing court temporarily falling into stability, the international undercurrent is constantly surging.
Russia, St. Petersburg, Tsar Nicholas II slammed his teacup to the ground.
Nicholas II has long wanted to invade China again, including the three eastern provinces or the vast Mongolian Plateau, but the Sino-Japanese war the year before last, Zhang Yi, the Chinese tiger, soared into the sky, and threw away the armor of tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers, and then Zhang Yi trained in Mukden, tens of thousands of well-trained modern troops quickly formed, with strong combat power, so that Nicholas II had a very deep fear of Zhang Yi in his heart, and did not dare to act rashly, and now the Trans-Siberian Railway of Tsarist Russia has not been completed. Tsarist Russia had no possibility of sending a large army to China, if it was only thousands or tens of thousands of troops, it would be difficult to guarantee the defeat of Zhang Yi's army, so Nicholas had to stand still, seize the time to infiltrate the Mongol forces, send a large number of spies, and bribe the princes and ministers of Outer Mongolia with a lot of money, in an attempt to form a good domestic aid first.

Finally, Nikolai waited until the Qing court issued an order to exempt Zhang Yi from his errand, transferred back to the capital, and visited Germany, Mukden fell into chaos, Nikolai sensed the opportunity coming, and began to dispatch troops, ready to fight a time difference, as long as Zhang Yi was not available, in one fell swoop, the Russian ** team could drive straight into Beijing and go straight to Beijing.
Who knew that at this juncture, the Qing court actually changed its original mind, transferred Zhang Yi back to his original post, and even gave him greater rights to take charge of the military and political affairs of the entire three eastern provinces! Isn't this fatal, in just twenty days, Fengtian has completely returned to normal, how can this be fought, Zhang Yi has already returned, don't think about taking advantage of the fire to rob anymore, bastard, bastard Qing government, wait for Lao Tzu to fight this battle almost, and then let him come back. Don't fight now, the more than 10,000 Cossack cavalry he prepared can rest, he doesn't think that 10,000 Tsarist Russian soldiers can fight over the tens of thousands of Qing troops with the backbone.
Nikolai said hatefully: "Order, the Russian army in Vladivostok will stop moving, withdraw to Vladivostok, and wait for a new order!" β
Foreign Minister Robertov said: "Your Majesty. I think we should meet the envoys sent by the Japanese, at this time. We should find an ally to deal with Zhang Yijianzhi to make up for the lack of our military strength in the Far East, and we will not be able to quickly take Mongolia or the three eastern provinces in the short term with our own strength alone! β
Nicholas II nodded and replied, "Well, you can arrange it, and I will meet those hateful Japanese, these Japanese monkeys are very cunning, and I really don't want to deal with them." β
North Korea. The commander of the Japanese Army Headquarters in Korea is none other than Zhang Yi's defeated general Izami Showen, and now the newly formed Japanese Third Division is completely under the command of Tsumi Showen, and at the same time, the Korean puppet army temporarily organized by Japan in Korea is also under the control of Tsumi Showen. Now that Korea has Japanese troops and a military force controlled by the Japanese army has reached 40,000 or 50,000 people, the Japanese army is continuing to dispatch elite domestic army elites to Korea in the name of counterinsurgency, further increasing the military presence of the Japanese army, and threatening the two provinces of Mukden and Jilin on the other side of the Yalu River.
Tatsumi Naofumi's performance in Korea was praised by the Japanese domestic base camp, and he was considered the only high-ranking general in the Japanese Army who could currently confront Zhang Yi. As a result, he was appointed as the supreme military commander of the Japanese army in Korea.
In the past year or so, Lijian Shangwen worked hard to send batches of Japanese spies into the Qing Dynasty, bribed and used high-ranking officials in the Qing Dynasty, and fanned the flames within the Qing Dynasty, and finally finally made Li Hongzao and others jointly impeach Zhang Yi and successfully drove Zhang Yi out of Fengtian. Went to the West, immediately saw that Shang Wen was overjoyed, and immediately stepped up the army transportation from Japan to Korea, trying to attack the Qing government again during this time, but although Mukden was chaotic, but Iketanga was not an incompetent person, many years of experience in the struggle against Tsarist Russia, he maintained a high degree of vigilance against foreign invasions, and at the same time, Xu Huaijin also learned about the changes in Japan and Korea through Tribulus terrestris, and put the strength of a division, together with most of the troops of the artillery brigade, into the banks of the Yalu River to prevent sudden changes. With the current strength of the Japanese army in Korea, it was immediately seen that Shangwen was not sure enough to defeat the Qing army in Mukden in a short period of time.
Cautious by nature, he had no choice but to step up the mobilization of troops to gather heavy troops in the Pyongyang area, waiting for the time to be ripe and ready to launch an attack at any time.
Just when the time was gradually ripe, the Qing court suddenly electrified, re-appointed Zhang Yi as the general of Shengjing, and at the same time controlled all military and political affairs in the three eastern provinces, Zhang Yi's returned to the center of the stage of Qing politics, with the backbone of the Fengtian Qing army, immediately underwent earth-shaking changes, morale suddenly soared, with the resignation of Yike Tang'a, Tang Shaoyi and Xu Huaijin controlled the military and political affairs of Fengtian, and Fengtian returned to the era of Zhang Yi's rule in the past.
Seeing that Shang Wen had been planning hard for a year and a half, once he woke up from a dream, all the preparations had returned to two years ago, and now he thinks about Fengtian again, I'm afraid it's hopeless.
Seeing that Shangwen slammed his fist on the bookcase in front of him, he said hatefully: "Order the head of the Qing government to increase the intensity of activities in the imperial court, order the mountain Shangyi in Mukden, and step up the collection of all military information in Mukden, this plan is no longer necessary, we need to think of other ways again." β
Nogi Noshinori, the commander of the Third Division, said: "Limi-kun, I think the base camp in China has now launched a plan to unite with Tsarist Russia, and I hope that Tsarist Russia can say that if we unite with Tsarist Russia to deal with China, I think we still have a great chance of defeating Zhang Yi's army and occupying the three eastern provinces." β
Lijian Shangwen sighed and said, "Nogi-kun, you are too naΓ―ve, do you think that if we unite with Tsarist Russia to deal with China, we will be able to get enough benefits?" You are wrong, Nicholas II has always been insatiable, for Mongolia and the three eastern provinces have long coveted, once our two families jointly defeat Zhang Yi, then we will face the military pressure of Tsarist Russia in the northeast, they will definitely not let us easily occupy the three eastern provinces, there will be a new war at that time, now our country, the people's livelihood is withering, the annual need to return the British foreign debt is as high as millions of taels of silver, if it is not for the support of the current economic interests of the Korean colony, I am afraid that our domestic will be difficult to support, Even then, I think it will take us three to five years to fully recover. Now we no longer have the ability to start another Russo-Japanese War after completing the war against the Qing Dynasty, at least the time is not yet ripe, once the war starts, we will definitely lose!
