Chapter 114: The Russo-Japanese War Ends

"Good! Good! ”

He Tianci looked at the letter and applauded excitedly. This Ji Yaohua's news is well-informed, and if there is any news in this Fengtian City now, he will definitely not be able to escape from the palm of the CIA, this is his own clairvoyance and shunfeng ear.

U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt gladly intervened. After intense bargaining, Russia was forced to sign a peace treaty with Japan at Portsmouth on 20 December 1905. Since neither side was willing to give in to the Mukden issue, they could only establish a buffer zone from Mukden to Changchun, and finally hand over the right to use the railway from Mukden to Changchun, but China needed 200 million taels of silver to redeem it. It is stipulated that the Russian army is in Heilongjiang, north of Changchun. The Japanese army's sphere of influence was from south of Yingkou to Lushun.

Of course, compared to the Portsmouth Treaty in the parallel world, there was a lot of change in the Portsmouth Treaty, because Russia and Japan were at a stalemate in the Mukden area at this time, and there was a dispute over the railway from Mukden to Changchun, and there was also a dispute over the stationing of troops along the railway. In the end, the railway from Yingkou to Changchun could only be handed over to the Manchus. Japan and Russia stationed road guards along their respective railway lines, with no more than five men per kilometer. This also greatly reduced the right of both sides to station troops in the northeast.

I didn't expect that I thought that the small butterfly could really make such a big wave, I just wanted to consume the two sides in the war as much as possible, I didn't expect that the railway rights from Fengtian to Changchun were recovered, and the road guards on both sides could not exceed 5 people per kilometer, which reduced the threat to the northeast on both sides, and the Japanese forces could only shrink to the south of Mukden.

In this way, he is more sure to control the soybean market in the Northeast, and then monopolize the soybean market in the whole world, because in the parallel world, the soybeans in the entire Northeast are monopolized by the Japanese, because the Japanese occupy a few kilometers of land along the railway from Lushun to Changchun, not only planted in large quantities along the railway, but also loaded on the train and transported away, which also reduces the transportation cost.

The war lasted a year and a half, and the Russo-Japanese War officially ended. In Japan and Russia, there was no winner on both sides, because both sides paid far more than they gained, of course, the most humiliating thing was the Manchu government, which let the two bandits fight at the doorstep, not only did not make a move, but also strictly maintained neutrality.

In the Russo-Japanese War, Japan alone spent 1.5 billion yen on the war and mobilized nearly 1.1 million troops. None of the manpower and material resources consumed by Russia are under Japan's. The war exhausted both Japan and Russia. All 13 divisions and regiments of Japan's army were put into the battlefield, and during the war, Japan revised the conscription order, and the age of service was extended from 32 to 37 years old, and the mobilization capacity was close to the limit.

However, it is absurd that the war was fought in the northeast of China, and the people of the northeast were brutally killed and killed in the war for 19 months. After the war, 38,413 households were served. According to the statistics of the Russian army, 85% of the Russian army's grain is taken from northeast China, about 90 thousand tons. According to the statistics of the Qing court, about 20,000 people in Northeast China died in the war, and the property loss was 69 million taels of silver.

After the Russo-Japanese War, the people also lost confidence in the rotten Qing government, which also laid hidden dangers for the revolution in the future, and the Russo-Japanese War also sounded the first alarm bell for the fall of the Qing Dynasty.

During this time, the Japanese not only strongly recommended themselves to be the commander of the middle road of Fengtian, but their opponent Feng Delin was also arranged to the front road commander of the Fengtian patrol battalion, and the leader of the front road was Feng Delin's junior Zhang Zuolin, of course, the contradiction between the two people was established from then on, after all, this Feng Delin was the boss of the Fengtian Green Forest, and he let Zhang Zuolin, a junior, come from behind, and the contradiction between the two began, but Zhang Zuolin treated this big brother respectfully, without the slightest harshness from his superiors to his subordinates. But Feng Delin was embarrassed by Zhang Zuolin everywhere.

Winter in Tohoku always comes early, with leaves drifting in the wind, snowflakes flying in the air, and the road covered with thick snow, which is fluffy and fluffy to step on, like stepping on a spring meadow.

The snow in the Northeast is different from that in the South. The snow in the south melted in a hurry, and even if it remained, it was mottled and lumpy, and the weather was very cold. In the north, especially in the northeast, the winter is cold on a sunny day, and as the saying goes, it is cold on a snowy day, and the heavier the snow, the warmer the day.

The snow in the northeast is falling heavily, and when a heavy snow falls, the distant mountains, fields, rivers, and ravines are all buried, as if there is only snow between heaven and earth, a large white expanse, a large white expanse.

"Sir! My uncle is here."

Fengtian Military Affairs Supervision Mansion, the housekeeper of Zhang Mansion hurriedly led He Tianci in, and shouted to Zhang Xiluan inside.

Since the Russo-Japanese War had ended, and Fengtian City had also returned to the control of the Qing Dynasty, Zhao Erxun, as a Manchu feudal official, and a person from Fengtian Tieling, was also particularly concerned about the development of the entire Fengtian.

Immediately after the end of the Russo-Japanese War, two military leading bodies were established: one was the Supervision and Training Office, which presided over the training work of the New Army, with Zhao Erxun concurrently serving as the general office, and the actual person in charge was Jiang Fangzhen, a non-commissioned officer and military champion, who presided over the training work in the name of the General Staff; The other is the Military Affairs Office that presided over the rectification of the old army, with Zhang Xiluan, a veteran from the army, as the general office, and He Tianci, the commander of the Fengtian Middle Road, as the deputy office.

The command of this old army basically fell into the hands of Zhang Xiluan and He Tianci's father and son, so it is not a problem that this He Tianci's soldiers are seriously beyond the scope of the middle road commander, and now the command of the entire patrol battalion can fall into the hands of his father-in-law Zhang Xiluan.

Zhang Xiluan pushed open the door and instructed his subordinates to greet He Tianci.

He Tianci was dressed in a short fight, and this time he came to see that his father-in-law was not an outsider, so he did not wear cumbersome Qing Dynasty clothes.

"Greetings to the Father!"

After Zhang Xiluan sat down, he waved his hand, smiled slightly, and said, "Huchen, you don't have to be polite!" This time, I called you here to ask you what you think of the training of the old army. ”

He Tianci fell into deep thought, and the question about the new army and the old army in the Northeast was running rapidly in his brain, and then the corners of his mouth raised an arc: "From a child's point of view, this Shengjing Zhao Erxun's training of the new army is aimed at the new army, once the new army is trained to ......."

Zhang Xiluan looked at He Tianci, who was hesitant, waved his hand lightly, and said solemnly: "Go on, there are no outsiders here. ”

"After the training of the new army, the first to be eliminated is the old army, if this time is passed, the day the new army is trained, I am afraid that the position of the father-in-law will not be guaranteed!"

Zhang Xiluan, who was holding his beard, nodded again and again, and asked eagerly: "Huchen, is there a way to deal with it?" ”
