Chapter 11 Tianbao Mountain
"Brother Huchen, I've kept you waiting!" Han Dengju turned over and dismounted and hugged his fist at He Tianci.
These 3,000 horse teams were notified by He Tianci to rush to the aid of Yanji's Jiapigou Han Jiajun, and because of their untidy clothes along the way, they were almost misunderstood by the villagers as accomplices of the little devils. At this moment, looking at Han Dengju and He Tianci clasping their fists, their hearts were relaxed.
He Tianci hurriedly walked in front of Han Dengju and said to Han Dengju: "Brother Han is really timely, this little devil is too deceitful, looking at this long Tumen River border, I am worried that there is no manpower to defend." ”
Han Dengju slapped He Tianci's shoulder with his big hand in the depths, and said loudly: "Big brother, you will see the outside, who is our brother, as long as you say a word, our three thousand brothers will listen to you, and I have heard about this battle along the way, Brother Huchen, I have also heard about this battle along the way, it is great, this little devil was also worried about my gold in the skin ditch during the Russo-Japanese War." ”
The Japanese army will definitely not give up easily for Yanji, and with the character of the Japanese who must report their flaws, they will definitely continue to launch attacks to find the weakness of the defense of the Tumen River, so He Tianci did not talk to Han Dengju too much but went straight to the point, asking Zhang Xiaozhun to arrange garrison tasks for these 3,000 soldiers.
Zhang Xiaozhun defensive position was built along the river, midsummer was the time when the Tumen River was vigorous, the Japanese army went upstream, and was bound to be affected by the water impulse, which reduced the speed of the Japanese army's charge, and the defense focus was mainly concentrated in the five riverside areas such as Huining, Zhongcheng, Maoshan, Toudaogou, and Liangshui Town, and the addition of these 3,000 villagers in Jiapigou made the strength of these five defensive areas reach 1,000 people.
These five defensive areas are in a triangle with each other, and once one side receives an attack, the two sides can also rush to support each other in time.
Jinshantun on the east bank of the Tumen River. Temporary Command of the Japanese Army in Korea. After learning that Liangshui Town, Huining, Toudaogou and other places had been recaptured by the Chinese defenders, Saito was furious. thought that the use of sneak attacks to occupy Yanbian would be successful, but unexpectedly it was stubbornly resisted by the local military and civilians. Until now, Saito has not been able to figure out what the Chinese in black uniforms on the other side are equipped with Russian-style 76mm field guns, and they are also equipped with Maxine heavy air guns on a large scale, and even use German wooden-handled grenades.
Therefore, they did not dare to act further rashly, and not only did the plan to continue to expand the "war results" come to naught, but even the occupied places such as Liangshui and Hoeryong were taken back by the Chinese defenders, and while reporting to Ito Hirobumi, who was the Korean commander at the time, asked Ito Hirobumi to increase his troops, he continued to launch small-scale attacks on the defenders of Yanji. First, to spy on the power of the Chinese defenders, and second, Saito did not believe that the other side could suddenly have thousands of troops to fortify the entire Tumen River, trying to find a breakthrough to recapture the "Majima" again.
In the Governor's Mansion of the Three Eastern Provinces of Fengtian, Xu Shichang sat on the Taishi chair straight, and Xu Shichang's vigorous and powerful words could be clearly seen on the rice paper: "Regain the island!" ”
Knowing that He Tianci had driven the Japanese back to the east of the Tumen River in Jilin, his heart was happy, but Xu Shichang, who was nicknamed Crystal Fox, understood the powerful relationship behind this matter, although Xu Shichang no longer had any hope for the third town stationed in Jilin, but he was forced to report to the imperial court under pressure from Yanji on the Japanese army, hoping to increase the troops of Jilin Tumen.
Xu Shichang also saw He Tianci's exploits. I really didn't expect that He Tianci not only guarded the Longyu Yamen, but also recovered Liangshui Town, Heninggu, Toudaogou and other places that had been occupied by Japan. He was specially responsible for military training, and at the same time shouldered the duties of suppressing bandits in the three provinces, but the minister of military training was subject to the control of the governor's office.
Jilin Longyu Yamen. He Tianci stood in the yamen and paced back and forth, closely watching the development of the situation. I had the joy of winning the battle to defend the Tumen River in my heart, but I thought of the character of the Japanese who refused to give up. He couldn't help but flash a trace of worry, not only to defend the Tumen River, but also to find evidence that Japan's so-called "Majima" belonged to China.
"Report!" Wu Luzhen said with a military salute.
"Come in!" He Tianci waved his hand.
Wu Luzhen cautiously glanced around and whispered to He Tianci.
When He Tianci heard the three words Tianbao Mountain, he immediately frowned, his forehead was twisted into a king character, and he was surprised: "What Tianbao Mountain?" ”
Tianbao Mountain is located in the southwest of Longjing City, Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture, Jilin Province, which is near Longyu Yamen, where they are now located, and was once one of the eight major mines in China, both in terms of geological reserves of non-ferrous metals and the mining history of the mine, which are famous throughout the country.
It is precisely because Tianbaoshan has rich mineral resources that from the Qing Dynasty to the outbreak of the First World War, not only the officials of the feudal dynasty regarded Tianbaoshan as a cash cow for making money, but also caused the frenzied plundering of foreign powers, especially Japan.
Of course, anyone who sees this thing is greedy, especially the huge reserves of Tianbao Mountain, He Tianci also wants to take it for himself, and now what he lacks in Fengtian is money, and he can't do anything without money, thinking of this, He Tianci showed a confident smile.
Wu Luzhen looked at He Tianci, who was intoxicated, and continued to say softly: "Yes, it is Tianbao Mountain, this Tianbao Mountain is still named by the Empress Dowager Cixi herself, and one million million taels of silver have been mined in the past few years. Tianbaoshan was originally known as Hongshi Lizi, in the fifteenth year of Guangxu (1889), Enze succeeded as the deputy capital of Hunchun, in order to settle the disaster victims from Guannai and North Korea, he sent Cheng Guangdi to investigate land resources in Yanbian. ”
Speaking of this, Wu Luzhen sighed and said: "It is his grandmother's Cheng Guangdi, speaking of which, we are still fellow villagers in Hubei, and we actually took refuge in the Japanese, and established a relationship with the manager of the Japanese businessman, Nakano Jiro, and signed the "Tianbaoshan Mining Grass Contract" with the support of the Japanese government
"What 'Tianbao Mountain Tianbao Mountain Mining Grass Covenant'?" He Tianci immediately stood up after hearing this, angry and angry.
Wu Luzhen looked at the tiger-eyed He Tianci and actually had a trace of fear, this was the first time he saw He Tianci angry, because after more than a month of getting along, he saw He Tianci smiling most of the time, even treating junior soldiers.
Wu Luzhen slowly raised his head and said softly: "The draft agreement stipulates: 'Chinese officials shall not interfere in the shipment of mineral sands to North Korea', and 'all the slag discarded from the former refining will be delivered to Zhonghe Company'" (to be continued......
