Chapter 86: The Russo-Japanese Battle of Tsushima (2)
He was Genjiro Akashi, the person who set off the revolutionary upsurge and turmoil in Russia, and the root cause of the low morale of the Black Sea Fleet and its unwillingness to fight.
This shows its importance to the Russo-Japanese War.
Although the three armies are brave, the wise are hard to find.
Therefore, Akashi Genjiro is a big help for the Japanese army and navy.
Of course, there is another one is the Western powers in the Russo-Japanese War, but they are all out of the same nostril as little Japan, the powers are unwilling to lend the road to Lao Maozi, Lao Maozi can only take a detour, or this Lao Maozi has already arrived, and he was ready to set off in July 1904, but he was forced by pressure and supply problems.
After 220 days of sailing, we finally arrived at the Tsushima Strait, good guys, the Japanese army has long been ready and waiting for you to send it there. To make matters worse, the Russian fleet was very tired at this time; At the same time, they do not pay attention to reconnaissance and do not know anything about the enemy; There is no operational plan.
Therefore, the Russian army's Pacific Second Fleet will undoubtedly be defeated, and when he learned the news, He Tianci's heart was suspended, if the Battle of Tsushima was won by Lao Maozi, it would be bad, the Japanese army would have no chance to turn the tables, and he would really become a sinner, and he didn't want Lao Maozi to win.
I just want to fight to the death between the two sides, and it's best to lose both sides and profit from it.
In the blink of an eye, the midsummer in the Northeast has quietly arrived, and the rare south wind blows through the freshly grown sorghum leaves, blows through the rattling poplar trees, and the temperature in the Northeast in June has also risen.
He Tianci looked at the sorghum about one meter high, and then thought that sorghum is lower than corn, and the disease resistance is poor, so it is not cost-effective to plant a large number of soybeans, of course, his plan is to plant a large number of soybeans, but in some places where the transportation is inconvenient, he can only plant some sorghum. In this way, an idea came to my mind, anyway, I have already connected with this American businessman Johnson, why not ask him to get some good corn seeds in the United States, so that it can also increase the grain production in the Northeast. The so-called: "accumulate grain, slow to become king", without grain itself in the northeast is difficult to gain a foothold.
After the Battle of the Horselands, the Russian army, which had a slight advantage in the war, was greatly affected, and the two sides returned to balance, and the situation on both sides became more and more uncertain, and the Russian army lost the assistance of the navy and could only rely on the Japanese army to defend Mukden. The victory in the Battle of Tsushima stimulated Japan's desire to win, and it attempted to integrate various units and launch a second attack on the Russian troops stationed in the front line of Mukden and Liaoyang, which is known as the Second Battle of Mukden.
Of course, the second Battle of Mukden does not exist in history, because the first Battle of Mukden in history Russia was repelled by Japan to the north of Mukden, Tieling, Jilin, plus the defeat of the Battle of Tsushima, the Russian army suffered from the enemy on its back, and could only reluctantly announce its surrender.
But it was precisely because He Tianci gently shook his wings this time, which changed the result of the first Battle of Mukden, and gave Tsarist Russia the capital and courage to continue fighting, Tsar Nicholas II also put his last hope on the remaining 170,000 troops of the Russian army in the Far East, hoping that the Russian army could rely on the favorable terrain of Mukden to repel the Japanese attack.
Unknowingly, He Tianci has taken these brothers of his own, and he has been in Jilin for almost a month, and this meal in Jiapigou is also leisurely, this Han border is rich, and every meal is to entertain his brothers with wine and meat, if he doesn't have physical training for these brothers every day, this will be terrible, and they all have to become big fat.
I really didn't expect that Wu Xiaolin, a battalion commander under the Patriotic Army, still had good friends in Jilin, so he asked for leave with himself, so he went to Jiutai on the edge of Changchun to visit his comrades-in-arms, saying that this comrade-in-arms is called Zhang Yun, known as Yun Sanye, and he is also a big family in Jiutai, and both of them are the sentry commanders of the First Sino-Japanese War of the Japanese Qing Dynasty, so the relationship is even closer.
During this period of time, He Tianci also seemed to be really panicked, and when he had nothing to do, he was going to be idle.
On June 2, 1905, several tall horses rushed out of the Jilin Provincial City, along the rugged mountain road in the jungle, all the way to the Han family's mansion in Muqing River. The person walking in front of him on a horse was not tall, wearing a yellow tweed army coat, this person was Brigadier General Madrid Daoff, the senior intelligence officer of Tsarist Russia in the northeast, and his trip was mainly to invite He Tianci to suppress bandits to Jilin and northern Liaobei to suppress bandits.
Because at this time, Tsarist Russia was attacked by the enemy in the belly of Mukden, south of Mukden there was the Third Army of Nogi Noshinori, and north of Mukden were these hateful "East Asian rebels", these East Asian rebels were slightly different from the past, because the East Asian rebel army active in northern Liaobei was a "special service squad" created by Aoki Xuanjun himself, which concentrated a lot of Japanese ronin, as well as the Japanese Fifth Army that was scattered in the Battle of Mukden, which had a little more combat effectiveness than the previous "East Asian rebel army".
Of course, as He Tianci's "old friend", Madrid Daofu also knows He Tianci very well, through He Tianci's bandits in Liaoyang last time, Madrid Daofu has long recognized the ability of He Tianci's troops, so this time he came to ask He Tianci.
This time, Madrid Daofu also came with a lot of bargaining chips to ask He Tianci to send troops to Liaobei, with what he knew, what he couldn't stand the most was that his compatriots were mutilated, and the current Liaobei and Changchun areas just met this condition.
At this time, Changchun and Liaobei were completely under the control of bandits, it was a hell on earth, thousands of families escaped from the county, almost leaving an empty city, and the big households that could be looted had already been looted by the bandits, and the rest of the cruel things were innumerable.
The only ones left who resisted stubbornly were the four major households in Jiutai County, including Zhang Yun and Yun Sanye. Each of these four major families has its own name - Benshengtang Tian family, Huaidetang Zhang Gongsheng family, Ji Sitang Li family, Baoshengtang Zhang family, these four families are each other's in-laws, and they are rich and rich.
There is also the Zhang family of Baoshengtang who is the most powerful, especially after this Zhang Yun took charge of Baoshengtang, the Zhang family is even more prosperous, building a large number of buildings, and building a Zhang family compound that is easy to defend and difficult to attack by the mountain.
Of course, the wealth of these nine and four major households has long been favored by the "East Asian Righteous Army", but there is no chance to take down these four major households in one go, because these four major households are originally an alliance, you attack one side, and the other three families immediately rush to help when they get the news. The Japanese army also carried out several tentative attacks, but they returned in vain.
At the same time that Brigadier General Madrid Astoria went to the mansion of the Han family in Jiapigou Muqinghe, the "East Asian Rebel Army" prepared to immediately launch an attack on the four major households of Jiutai and loot the wealth of Jiutai.
The four major households of these nine stations are the symbols of the nine stations, once the four major households are taken by the little devils, these nine will definitely be lost, and of course the wealth will fall into the hands of the little devils.
