c_t; On the tenth day after the coup d'état, Kuropatkin, after making full preparations, finally stretched out his fangs towards Heilongjiang, and 40,000 Tsarist Russian troops were divided into two routes, one gathering in Boli and the other in Shuangchengzi, in an attempt to launch a military attack on Harbin and Mudanjiang from these two places.

Today's Xu Huaijin is under tremendous pressure, and now Xu Huaijin has to control all the military affairs of the three northeastern provinces remotely, and also has to reorganize the army in Heilongjiang, which is really unbearable.

In the end, Xu Huaijin gritted his teeth and passed the first military order, appointing Wu Peifu as the military affairs supervisor of Heilongjiang, responsible for all the war in Heilongjiang, and urgently mobilized Zhao Shixiao's fourth division to Heilongjiang to stabilize the situation in Heilongjiang. Xu Huaijin took advantage of this gap to withdraw and returned directly to Fengtian, sitting in the General Staff, responsible for the military affairs of all the three eastern provinces.

Now in the entire three eastern provinces, Zhang Yi is not there, and the other people are still not very mature, and the ability to control the entire situation is lacking.

When Xu Huaijin returned to Mukden, he heard extremely bad news that General Jilin had been replaced.

Iktanga was given death by Cixi, and finally Cixi appointed Yuxian, the political envoy of Shandong Province, to lead two thousand green battalions into Jilin to take over the position of general of Iktanga, Yuxian just arrived in Jilin, and began to think that Iktanga's Zhenbian army had started, and dismissed the five commanders in one breath, and vigorously excluded dissidents.

Xu Huaijin gathered all the senior generals to the general's mansion for discussion.

Xu Huaijin said slowly: "Everyone, now it has reached a very critical time, the general is not here, we can't let the Northeast have something to do at this time, now the political situation in Jilin is turbulent, damn it, as soon as that Yuxian came to Jilin, he wantonly excluded dissidents, and if this continues, the entire town border army will be tossed and scattered by him, my opinion is to send a person who can suppress the situation, go to Jilin, control Yuxian, and strictly rectify the town border army, now in the town border army, there are hundreds of Fengtian backbone forces, It has already mastered a part of the strength of the town border army, and as long as it operates well, it can completely control the situation. Let's talk about it, who is the right person to send? ”

Everyone looked at each other, this is really not easy to choose, the person who goes is not capable enough, it is difficult to solve the problem of Jilin, go to a person with strong ability and high qualifications? Isn't that person in an important position now, and it's difficult to get out? Crossing the King of Special Forces 364

Xu Huaijin was also difficult to make a decision at this time, and it was difficult to find a suitable candidate in his hands, just when everyone was worried, an old voice sounded outside the door: "Everyone, what are you worried about, why don't you call the old man me?" ”

Xu Huaijin was overjoyed when he heard the voice of the person who came, and finally came to the savior, quickly stood up, and said with a smile: "Old Shi, you are back!" ”

The person who came was Shi Dakai, who went to Germany for a military investigation, and at this critical time, Shi Dakai rushed back.

More than a month ago, Shi Dakai began to focus on the domestic situation, the reform and reform of the law made the imperial court reform and the old party more and more fierce, Shi Dakai felt that in the next few months, the country will definitely undergo tremendous changes, and there will be huge turmoil.

When Shi Dakai was thinking about whether to return to China, Zhang Yi's telegram arrived, telling Shi Dakai to hurry up and return to China, now the domestic disputes are intensifying, and there is no quarrel, and the actions of Tsarist Russia and Japan are becoming more and more obvious, he has just arrived in the United States, and there are only Xu Huaijin and Tang Shaoyi in the country.

Shi Dakai did not dare to slack off, immediately ended the military exchanges with Germany, bid farewell to his old friend Bismarck, and set off to return to China.

When Xu Huaijin saw Shi Dakai, he hurriedly prepared a seat for Shi Dakai and told Shi Dakai about the things in front of him.

Shi Dakai smiled when he heard this: "What's so difficult about this? Don't need others to go, the old man will go in person, Yuxian? This old man has heard of it, and this time he can't make any trouble. ”

Xu Huaijin smiled: "Shi Lao, with you coming forward, what is the problem?" Yuxian is not like a clown jumping off the beam in front of you, and with a wave of his hand, he can be wiped out. ”

Shi Da laughed and said: "Okay, in this way, Huai Jin, you help me recall one of my disciples, and I will take a team of cavalry over, turn over my hands, take Jilin Mansion with you, stabilize the situation, and you don't have to worry about Jilin's affairs, everything will be handed over to the old man." ”

Xu Huaijin said with a smile: "Now Brother Shijun is already the commander of the first brigade, okay, then I will temporarily allocate all the cavalry of Brother Shijun's first brigade to you to help you stabilize the situation in Jilin, but in the future, Brother Shijun will have to be transferred back to Liaoxi, and now the situation in Mongolia is also very tense." ”

Shi Dakai laughed and said: "Okay, then it's a word, but you have to keep the more than 20 officers I brought back, and I want to put all of them in the Zhenbian Army, with them, the Zhenbian Army can really be used by us in the future." ”

Xu Huaijin said: "Okay, then I will give an order to transfer Brother Shijun for you." ”

Xu Huaijin said to the adjutant beside him: "Order, immediately send a telegram to Yu Shijun stationed in Liaoxi, mobilize the cavalry brigade, immediately rush to Shengjing to report, and hand it over to Shi Lao to command, so that they must rush to Shengjing within three days!" After Xu Huaijin finished conveying the military order, he turned around and said to Shi Dakai: "Shi Lao, the situation in the entire three eastern provinces is very tense now, and now the Tsarist Russia opposite Heilongjiang has gathered more than 40,000 troops, and it may attack Harbin and Mudanjiang at any time; Now Mudanjiang counts all the troops, but only more than 50,000 people, and the Heilongjiang town border army of more than 10,000 people, there is no one and combat effectiveness at all, the Tsarist Russian army has always been known for its strong combat effectiveness, especially hand-to-hand combat, it is famous all over the world, and now the pressure on Heilongjiang is huge; At the same time, in Korea, Japan has gathered more than 60,000 troops, and it is also urgently mobilizing, and it is possible to attack Mukden and Jilin at any time, and the battle in Mukden is also imminent. Our three eastern provinces are facing a two-front operation, and it may even be a three-front operation, and the situation is very unoptimistic. Shi Lao, look, do you have any good suggestions. Shi Dakai frowned, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, the soldiers will block, the water will cover up, now we haven't reached the state of panic, our troops are enough to deal with the war between the two countries, but I'm afraid that with the expansion of the war in the future, we will usher in real pressure, but by then, Jianzhi should have returned to China, and when the time comes, it's not that we should worry, haha......"
