Kill, as long as the Red Army that enters Guanzhong can frantically kill each other with the Hui Hui, there will soon be hundreds of thousands, or even millions of Hui troops from the Qing Dynasty, who will stand on the side of the Qing Dynasty and do their best to help the Qing Dynasty destroy the Red and Han Dynasty.

"Compared to those of our soldiers, the return is more fierce, alas, why didn't you think of organizing and training some of the Eight Banners in the first place?" Jing Shou was still a little weak to wipe the sweat on his bald head, and sighed, it was really a pity. Of course, what he said "at the beginning" did not refer to when he came to Shaanxi and Gansu, he couldn't do this kind of master, he was referring to his court, and naturally there were those holy ancestors who were the world's top performers in civil and martial arts.

Just imagine, if the imperial court had been able to raise some Hui Eight Banners army loyal to the Qing Dynasty and formed in Shaanxi and Gansu, just like the standing horse team of the Mongolian Eight Banners, why would there be so many passive situations now.

Mu Yin glanced at Jing Shou, shook his head helplessly, and cried out bitterly in his heart. Prepare and return to the standing army? Alas, it's really shit to the ass door, and I remember that there is a pit. Now you think that it will be useful to go back, but if there is no chaos caused by these "red bandits", even if the Hui army is organized and put there, what use will it do? If they really have their own regular army, we don't need to suppress any long-haired and red bandits, and we will revolve around the Huihui every day. Holy Grandpa is not as realistic as your brother.

When it comes to the end, let's take one step at a time!

Compared with the wars in Shaanxi and Henan, the wave of war set off by Chen Yucheng's Red Front Army in Shandong is really turbulent and more powerful.

When Lin Haifeng arrived in Xuzhou, the eastern and western armies of the Red Third Front Army were advancing vigorously.

With his arrival, it is even more **. In order to facilitate command, Chen Yucheng led the headquarters of the Red Third Front Army to move to Laiwu between Tai'an and Qingzhou. On the surface, Jinan and Qingzhou have become their last two key targets.

After Li Hongzhang's Zhou Shengbo troops crossed the Yellow River, around Jinan and Qingzhou, especially along the Yellow River, there were overwhelming Red Army troops rushing to participate in the war.

According to Colonel Khabakev, the Russian army colonel who originally wanted to assist in the defense of Jinan Province at that time, but finally due to the resistance of Kuang Yuan, the governor of Shandong, and the information that the Red Army of the Celestial Empire was pouring here, he was so frightened that he quickly retreated to the other side of the Yellow River and burned a large number of ferries to prevent the opponent from crossing the river, and claimed in his report to the commander-in-chief of the coalition army, Muravyov, that "...... The situation in Shandong in Henan was extremely critical, and under the slogans of the southern rebels unanimously opposing Manchu and anti-Russia, the bored mob from all over Shandong rose up to follow their liberators and gather in the central cities that were still in the hands of the Qing Dynasty, and the number group was estimated to be hundreds of ......thousands."

Habakev could not have known so much about it, and there must have been something in his report that he would consider to be moisture, because he had to excuse himself for retreating back to the north bank of the Yellow River. However, the number of so-called "mobs" that he inadvertently exaggerated was not false.

According to post-war statistics, Li Kaifang and Lin Qirong commanded nearly 100,000 people from the Red Fifth, Ninth, 27th, and Fourth Armies of the Red Army, the main force of the Celestial Empire, and Niu Hongsheng, the Lu-Henan-Anhui guerrilla column, who were besieging Jinan's Fucheng, and the number of peasant troops and riot troops who flocked to assist the Red Army in attacking the city and pulling out the villages, and also began to block the coastal ferries.

A similar situation also appeared in Qingzhou Prefecture, where there were 150,000 peasant troops fighting on the first and second lines with Zeng Tianyang, Pan Qiliang, the Red Eighth Army, the Red Tenth Army, and the Red 28th Army. Coupled with the large number of people who were invested in the rear service support from all over the country, the total force invested by the Celestial Empire in the battles of Jinan and Qingzhou could reach 700,000. If we include the Battle of Jiaodong, which followed closely, the entire Shandong region south of the Yellow River will have more than one million Shandong people in this huge anti-aggression war to liberate and defend their homeland.

Shandong, where was born an important part of the traditional Chinese national culture of Qilu culture, the splendid Qilu culture is the foundation and source of strength for cultivating and carrying forward the national spirit, the people of Shandong are worthy of their ancestors, although there have been scum among them.

In the face of such an unprecedented, magnificent sea of the Chinese nation's anti-aggression war, Khabakyev didn't run, okay?

The Red Army of the Celestial Empire was so powerful that the offensive was even more difficult to stop, and the Manchu strongholds on the outskirts of Jinan and Qingzhou were uprooted one by one or surrendered automatically. However, the stormy two prefectures and cities were still struggling to the death in the red sea, and just when everyone's eyes were focused on these two major focuses, another real anti-invasion war gradually began.

Beginning at the beginning of last year, Naval Colonel Balushka and Army Colonel Dasamov of the Chinese Fleet of Tsarist Russia's dispatch force to China led more than 60 ships of the Third Fleet and 3,000 army troops to Weihaiwei in Rongcheng County, Ninghai Prefecture, under the jurisdiction of Dengzhou Prefecture.

Weihaiwei is located in the easternmost part of the Shandong Peninsula, and the Liaodong Peninsula in the north is more than 100 nautical miles away, since then more than 40 nautical miles to the east is the sea route to become the mountain, and then more than 200 nautical miles to the east can reach the Incheon Port on the west coast of the Korean Peninsula, just the "black water ocean route". Occupying this place and building a military port, it can echo the Lushun Pass in the north, which is exactly like the gateway key of the two Bohai Bays, the only way to enter the Manchu Gyeonggi at any time, and can also peep into Korea and Japan, in preparation for the greater intervention in the affairs of China and the Far East that the tsar has in mind in the future.

To talk about Tsarist Russia's determination to build such a time-consuming and laborious large-scale military port in Weihai, it is thanks to Li Hongzhang, who can speak eloquently.

When Li Hongzhang first entered Zhongyi to save the **, because of his "rich knowledge" and the reputation of "the true biography and praise of the Confucian master Zeng Guofan", he was very valued by the regent Wang Yixin, so he was responsible for the preparatory work of the Daqingshui Division that best reflects the development of advanced technology.

Due to his repeated shouting and running calls, he successfully selected 200 promising teenagers to go to Britain to study naval technology. When the plan to sell Taiwan privately to the British in order to obtain the purchase of a large number of British warships to arm the future sailors was vetoed by the "smart" British, he had to beg the Empress Dowager Cixi, who took out a penny like pulling out a rib, several times, and even cried bitterly when it came to the emotional part, and finally took out 100,000 taels of silver, and then used the customs duties and salt taxes that had been mortgaged to the Russians once as collateral again. The British were deceived into obtaining a loan for six two-thousand-ton wooden cruisers. At the same time, in order not to make the Russian master jealous, he simply ordered ten more small gunboats from the Russians, anyway, it didn't cost cash, didn't the Queen Mother say, if there are more lice, you won't bite, and if you have more debts, you won't worry.

Li Hongzhang's diligent duty and courageous spirit of struggle have also greatly won the respect of his colleagues in the DPRK and China.

The warships and people are "soon", and the fame and fortune have also been received, Li Hongzhang is full of ambition, and he is naturally going to start planning his future nest of Li family sailors. Lushunkou and Dagukou are definitely not good, these places are all Russian allies, and he can only think to the south. For this reason, he really did not lack the lamp oil.

He is busy, many serious things are inseparable from him, and he is engaged in foreign affairs, and it is difficult to do it without him. Therefore, he can only have time to think about his future in addition to assisting the regent to do all kinds of new foreign affairs activities. He flipped through a large number of books, and even shamelessly asked, and had a rough understanding of several natural harbors on the Jiaodong Peninsula.

It just so happened that at the end of the previous year, Muravyov, commander of the Russian Dispatch Army in China, was going to inspect the Lushun Fortress under construction from Dagukou, and Li Hongzhang was ordered to accompany him. After arriving at the mouth of Lushun and seeing the "quite good" Lushun fortress made by the Russian allies, Li Hongzhang was not only amazed, but suddenly on a whim, he proposed that the Russian allies should go to see the Jiaodong Peninsula. He actually wanted to see the nest he had chosen for himself.
