Now that the matter has become clear, and Nie Shicheng has also expressed his attitude, what He Changying has to do now is to lay out in advance and deal with the difficult situation that will arise later.

The sinister battle situation in Shanhaiguan, since He Changran can see it, Nie Shicheng can also see it,—— but he pins his hopes on gambling.

He Changying doesn't believe that there are few people who understand this Qing Dynasty, and they can't see it?

However, these people are either hanging high on their own business, or they are taking the opportunity to plan their own benefits behind their backs.

For this country, for the displacement of the people of the world, life and death, hardship, except for the Fengyue kiln drinking, the chant pretends to shake his head and even squeezes out two crocodile tears.

In fact, who really cares?

The country regards the people as mustard, and the people regard the country as an enemy!

This is also why six years later, when the Eight-Nation Alliance attacked Yanjing, the people of the Qing Dynasty were happy to help pull boats, transport arms, guide the way, sell snacks and specialties, and make money.

To put it bluntly, in today's Qing-Japanese war, at the beginning, the imperial party forced Beiyang to fight with the Japanese army, and everyone moved stools on the side, swallowed melon seeds, and by the way, they also stumbled and drew ladders to watch the lively show.

Later, Beiyang was not good, so he changed to the Emperor God Party and went to the ring and continued to fight against the Japanese army.

Guangxu, a half-hung boxer, first invited Ma Gelu, who was not even comparable to Ding Ruchang, in Weihaiwei to preside over the Beiyang Naval Division.

He also invited Liu Kunyi, who smoked a lot, to replace Li Hongzhang, who was still shrewd.

Then he pointed at the side again, and made a faint move.

If this battle can be won, it will be a real ghost!

On January 13, Xiong Kaiyu returned to Jinmen with He Changying's order.

The Japanese fleet blocked the Bohai Sea and frequently bombarded the small city of Penglai, but they turned a blind eye to Yantai, which was close at hand, obviously not because they were blind.

A few days ago, He Changying has been thinking about this problem, and launched a deeper extended analogy association.

In 1861, after the end of the Second Opium War, according to the Treaty of Jinmen, the Qing government opened Dengzhou as a treaty port.

After 33 years of construction, 17 countries ——, the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Italy, Austria-Hungary have set up consulates in Yantai, and foreign schools, foreign banks, and foreign hospitals have been established in Yantai.

Foreign goods and foreign goods were also landed from Yantai one after another, and then transported by land to the mainland of the Qing Dynasty; Peanuts, soybeans, silk, minerals and other local products of the Qing Dynasty were also exported overseas from Yantai.

In He Changying's conjecture, it should be because Western countries have important economic interests in Yantai, so the Japanese fleet does not dare to bombard Yantai at all.

In other words, after the brief demonstration attack on Yantai by the Japanese ship Yaeyama, the Japanese military government was warned by some Western countries that it did not dare to fire on Yantai.

Other than that, it doesn't make sense at all.

In He Changying's memory and historical materials, because the Oriental people are in the nature of the strong, the Oriental Kingdom at this time, from the common people to the ministers and soldiers and even the Meiji Dynasty, were far more afraid of foreigners than the Qing Dynasty.

After all, the Qing Dynasty also fought two opium wars with Britain and France, and ten years ago on the Sino-Vietnamese border, Mawei in Fujian, and Keelung, Taiwan, they also fought with France.

When the officials of the Qing Dynasty dealt with foreign devils, they basically played with deception and flickering.

Otherwise, after the First Opium War, the British and French, who were fooled and corrupted by the officials of the Qing Dynasty, would not have traveled thousands of miles to spend huge amounts of military funds to fight the Second Opium War.

Including the Sino-French War ten years ago, the cause was that France wanted to annex Vietnam, and the Qing government was unwilling to send troops into Vietnam, so that both sides could not hold back and began to fight.

This is the attitude of the officials of the Qing Dynasty towards the West,—— they will be fooled if they can be fooled, and if they can't be fooled, they will turn their faces, they will fight, and if they can't fight, they will negotiate peace, and after the negotiations are finished and the treaty is signed, they will continue to fool.

And the people of the Qing Dynasty are obviously more single, in a word, they are contempt in their hearts, and they look down on these Western devils.

Looking at these blonde hair, blue eyes, beaked birds, wearing suits, and carrying dog-beating sticks, it is simply a legend that the demons in hell are legendary.

This is also why in the 1870 Tianjin Religious Case, why the people of Tianjin dared to burn down the church and the French consulate, killing 19 foreigners and 30 Chinese believers.

Including the Boxer Rebellion six years later, millions of people swept through Ludong Zhili, and almost slaughtered Da Maozi and Er Maozi.

All this is not only a manifestation of the hatred of the people of the Qing Dynasty for these foreign devils, but also shows that the people at this time are really not afraid of these foreign devils.

In a word, the officials and people of the Qing Dynasty at this time still have a sense of superiority of the 'Heavenly Empire', and when they see the 'Uncle Yang', they can basically straighten their backs.

On the other hand, the Orient is a completely different type.

In 1853, during the Black Ship Incident, Toyo was kicked open by the United States, a small emerging country in North America at the time, and was forced to sign the humiliating Treaty of Kanagawa between Japan and the United States.

Seeing the majesty of the foreign uncle, the whole people of the East held high the banner of 'leaving Asia and entering Europe', and since then they have obediently embarked on the road of no return to lick the foreign uncle's ditch.

Ruth Benedict, an American genius who was only eight years old at this time, will write a book "Chrysanthemums and Knives" 42 years later, profoundly dissecting the national character of the East.

This book is like thunder, but I really haven't read it, and my impression seems to be about the two sides of the Oriental personality.

When he saw the macho man, he pouted his buttocks, smiled all over his face, and held the tender chrysanthemum;

When he saw weakness, he raised his butcher's knife and behaved like a beast, bullying and killing at will.

This is also why in He Changying's time and space, although the Japanese army won the Sino-Qing War, the Qing Dynasty had already signed a contract to cede more than 100,000 square kilometers of territory in Liaodong.

As a result, the sentence 'Uncle Yang, I'm not happy'.

The Japanese army honestly pinched their noses and returned Liaodong to the Qing Dynasty for redemption.

Including the later North Korea, Concubine Min took advantage of the face of the Russian ambassador to eliminate and beat the Japanese army, and regained control of the Korean regime, and got rid of the control of the East with a light breeze.

In the end, the angry Oriental dog jumped over the wall and bewitched the North Korean training team to attack the palace, creating the illusion that the monarch of the courtyard was seizing power.

A group of Oriental ronins brutally took Concubine Min's turn, and then burned to ashes.

Now He Changying, some understand why, in his time and space, in the county of Youpengdu has begun to attack Haicheng, when the situation is very good, Meiji and Ito still forcefully dismissed him and transferred him back to China.

Because in the plan of Shanxian County, the capture of Mukden was only a preparation for the next step of the Zhili operation.

The decisive battle of Zhili is the real purpose of Youpeng in Shanxian County.

However, Meiji and Ito were apparently more afraid of interference by the Japanese army because the Japanese attack on Tsumen and Yanjing touched the interests of the Western powers.

Therefore, after Tsuno Michikan succeeded Yamaguchi Aritomo, under the control of the Hiroshima base camp, after the Liaodong Army captured Haicheng, the next step was to clear the Yingkou and the Qing army in Gaizhou, and stopped the pace of attack.

Neither north to attack Liaoyang, nor south to Shanhaiguan.

Instead, the Third Army was formed to land from Ludong, and after completely annihilating the Beiyang Naval Division, it used two huge crab claws, one in the south and one in the north, as a deterrent, to carry out war blackmail and force the Qing army to surrender.
