Chapter 339: Berlin's Movement



c_t; A trip to Liaozhong made Zhang Yi gain a lot, and even he didn't expect that he would get more than 2,000 elite cavalry so easily, and the old man Shi Dakai went out of the mountain to help, which was really a double happiness.

Zhang Yi accompanied Shi Dakai all the way back to Shengjing, and then began to gather everyone for a meeting.

Zhang Yi excitedly announced the formation of the first cavalry division in Fengtian, with Bagen as the division commander, and the following three cavalry brigades, respectively, Shixiang, Shiming, and Shijian, and at the same time completely disrupted Shi Dakai's army and Bagen's army for reorganization, and now the cavalry division together has nearly 6,000 people, 6,000 horses, and all are well-trained cavalry soldiers.

At the same time, Zhang Yi issued an order, ordering Wu Shixiang and Wu Shiming to lead 4,000 strange soldiers to stationed in Chaoyang, western Liaoning, next to Inner Mongolia, leaving Bagen and Wu Shijian in Shengjing to continue to recruit and train cavalry. This matter was personally suggested by Shi Dakai to Zhang Yi, and now the princes and magnates of the Mongolian tribes are separated from the Qing Dynasty, and at the same time, under the sowing discord and oppression of Tsarist Russia, more and more Mongolian nobles have chosen to join the command of Tsarist Russia, and in the near future, Mongolia is very likely to rebel, and Tsarist Russia will take this opportunity to send troops to encroach on Mongolian territory.

Zhang Yi thought that what Shi Dakai said was extremely reasonable, and that the Cossack cavalry of Tsarist Russia was very powerful, ferocious and abnormal, and could not be resisted by ordinary army forces, so he put the cavalry of the two brigades on the Chaoyang border, and at the same time stipulated that the three brigades of the cavalry division would take turns every two months

, rotated to the Chaoyang border, intensified training, in order to deal with the future sudden change of Mongolia. ( )

Just when the affairs of Mukden were on the right track, the German legation arrived, and after the Germans bid farewell to Cixi and Guangxu in the capital, they rushed back to Germany non-stop and made a detailed report to His Majesty Kaiser Wilhelm III.

Gustav and Barand strongly suggested that Wilhelm III draw closer to China, because China would have Germany's vital interests, and handling China's relations well would help Germany strengthen its strength, confront Britain in the world, and achieve German colonial hegemony.

Berlin, Germany.

In the Kaiser's private estate, a number of German dignitaries were engaged in a heated discussion.

In front of the Kaiser and many dignitaries, Gustav and Barand elaborated on the gains of their trip to China.

Gustav said: "Your Majesty, we have found a very large coal and iron mine in the area of Mukden in China, and it is of very high quality, if it is developed by us, it will become a second Ruhr industrial area, which will continue to deliver high-quality coal and steel to our empire, which will be a very great help to the development of our empire." And I and Barland witnessed General Zhang Jianzhi's wolf battalion, it is too powerful, God, I have never seen such a powerful army, this is not any army in the world can compete with it, including our German elite army, Zhang Jianzhi has preliminarily agreed to train a group of such troops for us, to improve the main combat strength of our army, General Zhang Jianzhi is very friendly to the empire, and he also hopes to be able to private

He is willing to defend the interests of the German Empire in the Far East, and at the same time hopes that the Empire can bring him substantial help in the construction of Mukden, which is still very backward in development, and hopes that we can increase our investment in Mukden, provide him with certain engineering and technical personnel, and he will do his best to repay us. ”

Barland, who was on the side, also said: "Your Majesty, the current Qing Dynasty in China has been completely decayed, and China in the future will definitely break away from their rule, they are gradually incapable of ruling tens of millions of square kilometers of land, and Zhang Yi is a possible candidate to rule China in the future, he is only in his early twenties now, and China in the next fifty years may be under his great influence." Your Majesty, now is the time for us to deepen our relationship with him......"

The Kaiser was quite yearning for the prospect of cooperation between Gustav and Barland, and under the encouragement of the two men, he gradually preferred to establish a comprehensive and in-depth cooperative relationship with Zhang Yi.

It's just that some of his ministers are not too willing to act in this way, and first, Zhang Yi is only the governor of a province in China, and his actual power is far from the level of influencing or even controlling the central government, which is not worthy of their attention; Second, now that the Qing court is extremely weak, strong outside and capable in the middle, if you want to get the benefits of Fengtian, Germany should unite with the great powers and pressure to get all the benefits for free, why bother to give all kinds of benefits to the Chinese tiger.

The opinions of these ministers hindered Gustav and Barland's ideas, and Gustav and Barand were in a hurry, but they knew that the Qing court was soft

It's true that it's weak, but this Chinese tiger is not soft at all, at the end of the blue wolf exercise, what Zhang Yi said was definitely not a cannon, now he first has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and it is not something that can be brought to its knees by sending two fleets over.

Gustav painstakingly explained the benefits to everyone: Mukden is such a fat piece of meat, if England and France know about it, will they still give Germany a chance, don't forget that the influence of these two countries in China far exceeds that of Germany, not to mention that there is Tsarist Russia, which directly borders Northeast China, and will not give up such a beautiful opportunity; Although Zhang Yi is now only the governor of a province, but please think about it, our German Empire has many talents, do you find a twenty-year-old person who can serve as the governor of a province, this person is talented, the city is very deep, the future must be the highest power in China, at worst it will reach the position of Li Hongzhang, the current governor of Zhili, we will not accept him now, when he is full-fledged, does he still need your help, then the great powers will take the initiative to help him and envelop him, At that time, I was thinking about it like this, but I didn't have a chance!

The crowd held three meetings in a row in the palace of Wilhelm III, and later directly invited Bismarck and other political elders to participate in the opinion. Bismarck listened to everyone's narration, his face was expressionless, and he lightly threw down a sentence, God-given opportunity, if you don't get it, it is disrespectful to God, what else do you have to discuss, you can't take the Chinese tiger now, you will wait for the future

Repent. After saying a word, the old man didn't stop and directly regretted his manor. Although Bismarck was completely retired, his prestige in German politics was unmatched, and the opposition could no longer find a reason to oppose it, and finally pinched their noses and agreed with Gustav and Barland.
