178 Bleeding
Hu Shanshi: The blood of Japan and Russia will not be exhausted, and the Russo-Japanese War will never stop.
---------- dividing line----------------------
"Now that Your Majesty has opened Enke, Hu will wish Brother Yang the title of the gold list." Hu Shanshi smiled and drank tea.
"Then it's the good words of the lord." Yang Du smiled and never mentioned the intention.
After that, the two touted it, mainly Yang Du was complimenting Hu Xiaoyan. Because Hu Xiaoyan is not very familiar with Yang Du. Qin Yun knew about Yang Du, but his knowledge was limited. In the year when the bus was on the book, Yang Du entered Beijing and married Yuan Shikai and Liang Qichao and others. The circle of literati is actually very homely, everyone has been famous for a long time, but being famous does not mean understanding. Yang Du's name was occasionally mentioned by Liang Qichao to Qin Yun, mainly about the story of Wang Xiangqi's apprenticeship. As a bigwig, but he took the initiative to accept a broken person as an apprentice, which is quite legendary.
Yang Du also roughly knew Hu Xiaoyan's literary literacy, so the topic turned to the form of nations on "The Rise of Great Powers".
Hu Xiaoyan is "very happy" now, and the people of the Qing Dynasty can't find anyone more proficient than Hu Xiaoyan in the form of nations. So he boasted that he already had the heart to recover Yang Du.
But soon he stopped with a bitter face. Because Angel came up with a bowl of what seemed to be rice porridge and what seemed to be a decoction.
"What is this?" Hu Xiaoyan really wanted to ask if this thing was for people to eat? It's a pity that I can't say it.
"This is my new medicinal diet!" Angel said with a happy smile. Xia Lingling behind her nodded desperately.
Diet? It's black, and it's a lump inside. Are you sure you can eat this thing?
"Laughing." Hu Shanshi gave Yang Du an apologetic look, and then pinched his nose and drank the bowl of unknown Dongdong.
Angel took the bowl, happily kissed Hu Shanshi's face and turned around to pull Xia Lingling away, but Xia Lingling's face changed abruptly, she hugged Qin Yun and called sweetly: "Sister, let's go cook Chinese food." ”
Qin Yun looked embarrassed, and was finally dragged away by Xia Lingling weakly.
"Laughing." Hu Xiaoyan shrugged his shoulders.
"Where! Adults love flowers when they see them. Yang Du said jokingly.
"Nari?"
"My lord, there is something unknown to the hairy son, dare to ask?"
"Oh? Let's hear it. Hu Xiaoyan's face was full.
"Britain, France, Germany, and the United States are far from our country and can be used as help. Japan and Russia are close at hand, and both are wolf ambitions. But the adults seem to be very jealous of Britain and the United States, but they are laissez-faire to Japan and Russia, what is the reason for this? Yang Du frowned.
This is the principle of long-distance and close-range attack.
Hu Xiaoyan thought about it before smiling.
"Britain is a foreign hegemon, and its ambitions for the Qing Dynasty are well known to the world, otherwise there would not have been two Sino-British wars. Today, it is only held back by the Zulu and Boer wars. That's why they tolerated Japan, Russia and the Manchu court in the Far East. Otherwise, after the failure of the Eight-Nation Alliance's attack, how could it swallow its anger? ”
The Zulu War ended as early as 1899. The Boer War lasted from 1899 to 1902. In other words, Britain is still trapped in the big mud pond of the Boers, and it cannot get out. The war was also a direct cause of the fall of the colonial minister Neville Chamberlain. And Hu Xiaoyan's airship actually hit the heart of Chamberlain! The reason why the Boers were strong was that they fought the war of independence, which not only won the hearts of the people, but also the geographical advantages and people. As the aggressors, the British did not have the right time, place and people, and even the logistics and supplies were not smooth. Therefore, the military heavy weapon of the airship that flies in the sky and can hold many rooms with a big belly at the same time won Chamberlain's appreciation, and therefore Chamberlain would rather suffer some losses in the Far East than get the technical parameters of the airship! Hu Xiaoyan not only sent a roughly intact airship, but also sent him five elite operators, all of whom were elite who had participated in several bombings of the airship, which could provide Chamberlain with the necessary experience in airship warfare!
Chamberlain did give Hu Xiaoyan enough benefits, otherwise the Xinchou Treaty would have been signed so easily. If it weren't for Dou Nale's powerful means, the second battle of the Eight-Nation Alliance would be close at hand! So indirectly, this airship is actually worth it, it not only won Hu Xiaoyan's favor with Chamberlain, but also got many substantial benefits from Britain! For example, the United Kingdom later indirectly sent several professors of physical chemistry to join Shanghai Chengxin University. At the same time, the British side also promised to guarantee that it would give as much better terms in business than Japan! And so on and so forth, which is not inhumane. After all, Britain and Japan are allies.
"And the Trans-Siberian Railway (by 1916) was not yet completed, and the cost of Russian troop transfer from Moscow was too great and it was too late in time. Therefore, even if the Russians slaughtered tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the northeast. We still had to help it. Speaking of Japan, Japan has been operating in Korea for several years, and although it is not very stable now, it is only a matter of time. Once Japan has established itself in Korea, who do you think it will target next? ”
Yang Du nodded.
"So you can't give Japan time to run North Korea. Japan must be plunged into the quagmire of war! Although the invitation of Japan to Jilin made the Qing Dynasty lose a province and sacrifice hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians to the enemy, it was also worth it. It's easy for Japanese people to get in and hard to get out. The outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War can be said to have two benefits with one stone: on the one hand, it allowed Japan to eat dog, weakening Russia's strength in Siberia, and on the other hand, Japan had to invest a large number of troops, which brought its operations in Korea to a standstill. In order to ensure victory, Japan had to squeeze the Korean people and transport supplies all the way to Heilongjiang. The Korean people were not willing to accept this and inevitably rose up to resist, and in the long run, Russia was weakened and Japanese rule in Korea became unstable. ”
"The two countries are weakened, but our Great Qing State can take this opportunity to vigorously develop its economy and armaments. When the time comes, the Northeast will be taken into its arms in one fell swoop, and all the arrangements of Russia in Siberia will be completely annihilated, and the road to the south of Japan will be blocked with a backhand. If a random person surnamed Lee were to come up with a decree to canonize the king of Joseon, I believe that the cornerstone of Japanese rule in Korea would surely collapse. ”
"Japan can no longer threaten the security of our Qing Dynasty except for the navy."
"It's not Daqing, it's you Hu Shanshi, right?" Yang Du thought secretly in his heart.
"The lord is really far-sighted, and the lady admires it."
And then what? Hu Xiaoyan was stunned! Now shouldn't you say that the lord is wise, and the subordinate is willing to do the work of dogs and horses?
Yang Du really couldn't stand Hu Xiaoyan's stunned eyes, and hurriedly left.
Yang Du didn't fail to see Hu Xiaoyan's intentions, and during the conversation, Hu Xiaoyan also revealed a few solicitation statements. It's a pity that if it was Yang Du of the original time and space, I am afraid that he would have bowed his head at this time. At this time, Yang Du was influenced by Hu Xiaoyan's "The Rise of a Great Power", and he thought that his Confucianism was enough, but there were still deficiencies in Western learning, at least he had not yet gone abroad to verify what he had learned. How can Yang Du be willing?
Pity! Looking at Yang Du's dashing back, Hu Xiaoyan sighed secretly. Li Hongzhang and others can see the problems, he can naturally see it, he has long wanted to find a talent like Xiao He and Liu Muzhi. It's a pity that it's still the same sentence, he Hu is not a member of the imperial examination, and he is hostile to the orthodox literati. Those who are willing to take refuge in him Hu are all those who have achieved something in some aspects, but none of them have a sense of the overall situation!
As soon as Yang Du left, Zheng Jun walked up.
This time it's news from Komura Shoutaro. After Komura Shoutaro was driven away by the doctor before, he was asked away by Zheng Jun. Little Japan knew that he was cheated by Hu Xiaoyan, of course, he would not be polite. And Hu Xiaoyan can't ignore it now, his troops in Liaoning are now about 30,000, but the troops that can fight are less than 8,000. It was simply not able to withstand the attack of little Japan. So compromise is the only way at the moment.
But this compromise can't be started by Hu Xiaoyan!
"My lord, Komura Shoutaro demands that our airship troops withdraw from the battle immediately, and restrain the bandits who are attacking the supply lines from all over the country."
"Yes. Withdraw our men and let Li Chen go to Trotsky, find some Russians to take over the task of attacking the supply lines posing as bandits. Hu Xiaoyan narrowed his eyes
"Xia Guan understands." Zheng Jun nodded.
"And how is Lenin's work with the Siberian governor-general?"
Lenin worked on the side of the Siberian governor-general, while Trotsky ran to Harbin with the brainwashed Russians.
"I've heard it's going fast."
In the bitter cold land of Siberia, although the civilians there shared a part of the property of the slaughtered Han Chinese, after the start of the Russo-Japanese War, the Siberian governor had to scrape the civilian class again in order to ensure the food and grass materials on the front line, which caused strong dissatisfaction among the Russians in Siberia. Who wants to come to a place like Siberia if they have a little bit of land in the country? The Russians here are all villains, and each one of them is enough to cut a thousand knives but not enough to calm the grievances. After a period of exploitation by the Siberian governor, these people became faithful followers of Red Doctrine with little effort on the part of Lenin.
Hu Xiaoyan seemed to be smiling. Lenin's contribution to the October Revolution in Russia was like the role of Sun Cannon in the Wuchang Revolution. At the time of the Wuchang Uprising, Sun Cannon was still spending time abroad, and he did not expect such an uprising at all. The same was true of Lenin, who was running a newspaper abroad, while Trotsky, having heard about the situation in the country, returned home himself to organize the October Revolution. Note! The October Revolution was organized and launched by Trotsky. It was not until the success of the revolution that Lenin received a telegram abroad asking him to return to China to preside over the situation. When Lenin returned home, Trotsky abdicated to make way for Lenin. At one point, Trotsky's portrait and Lenin's portrait were placed on the wall of the conference room, one on the left and one on the right.
After Lenin's death, the vast majority of people, including Lenin's wife and comrades-in-arms, believed that Trotsky should stand up and preside over the situation in Soviet Russia, and Lenin's wife even said that Stalin should be hanged. But for some reason, Trotsky did not make any political moves, allowing Stalin to take advantage of the opportunity to seek power. This disappointed a large number of people, and then Trotsky voluntarily withdrew from the struggle to bring Stalin to power.
Many people say that Stalin's later purges were directed against Lenin! In fact, this statement is wrong! Stalin also followed Lenin for a long time, but he did not win Lenin's trust, but he was very capable of doing things, and only then did he grasp a large part of the power. He belongs to the rising star. So if he wants to completely control the situation in Russia, he will have to kill almost all the oppositionists. And these opponents are in fact all Trotsky's followers and sympathizers. With Lenin already dead, Stalin sat in that position, and there was no real need for him to target Lenin. But Trotsky, who was placed with Lenin's portrait, was still alive. This living great man was the biggest obstacle to Stalin's rise to power.
Lenin? Trotsky? This is a very chess piece! Hu Xiaoyan pressed the sneer in his heart.
