He Tianci fell into deep contemplation, wrinkled the wrinkles on his head, raised his head for a long time, raised his head, and said to Zhao Erxun: "This Russian war should end this year, because both sides no longer have the ability to launch a large-scale battle, but only the end of the crossbow, stick to the war, and win the final victory." ”

At this time, He Tianci looked a little hesitant, half loud, and continued: "As for the outcome of the war, no matter which of the two sides wins the war, there will be no good fruit, and it is best that both sides lose. ”

Zhao Erxun nodded while holding his goatee, and then raised his voice and said: "Okay, Huchen, Zheng and the old man's mind, said that the two sides, which wins, it is not good for China, so the imperial court also let us strictly abide by neutrality, at this time, under the pressure of the Russian army, this official had to send someone to Jilin, of course, I think you should also understand, those "East Asian rebels" behind the army is the army, we can't afford to offend, we can only be like this." ”

Of course He Tianci knows this truth, Zhao Erxun estimates that this time he is preparing to send himself to Liaobei and Jilin, where he is just pretending to paralyze the Russian army.

Then he smiled and said: "This truth, the lower officials understand, the country is poor and weak, and we can't afford to provoke the great powers, so we can only follow the great powers temporarily." ”

After that, he called his adjutant stupid roe deer in, only to see the stupid roe deer carefully holding two snuff bottles, and after the stupid roe deer handed over the two snuff bottles to He Tianci, he walked out with interest. These two snuff bottles are each three inches long, half an inch in diameter, agate, very distinct in color, and have a dragon and phoenix pattern in the middle. The origin of this object has to be the treasure snatched by the Russian army in the Forbidden City, and after He Tianci jumped out of these two snuff bottles, he kept them and gave them away.

This Zhao Erxun likes cultural relics very much, otherwise he can't write a history later, this saw this pair of snuff bottles, his eyes were shining, staring at the snuff box in He Tianci's hand motionless.

Of course, this was all expected by He Tianci, these two snuff bottles were prepared for him, and he was the highest authority in the Northeast in the future, just to bribe Zhao Erxun.

He Tianci held the pair of snuff bottles in both hands, walked carefully to Zhao Erxun's side, and then handed it to Zhao Erxun while saying: "A little bit of the official's heart is not a respect, and I hope the general will accept it." ”

When Zhao Erxun heard this, he immediately showed a smug smile, happily took the pair of snuff bottles, and then said to He Tianci while admiring it carefully: "Huchen, thank you for this hard work, old man, I love these cultural relics all my life!" ”

Seeing that Zhao Erxun liked this snuffbox so much, and it was time for him to leave, He Tianci said goodbye to Zhao Erxun with interest, and went back to wait for Zhao Erxun's appointment.

"I hereby send the commander of the Heavenly Patrol Defense Battalion He Tianci to suppress the bandits and horse thieves in northern Liaobei and Jilin, and there is no mistake in setting off immediately." On April 23, 1905, the dispatch order of Zhao Erxun, the general of Shengjing, finally arrived.

This time, He Tianci was not as worried as the previous times, because after all, this Liujiabao now has a certain scale, and the permanent residents have reached 50,000 people, and with the establishment of oil mills and flour mills, more and more people can be accommodated, and the militia plan implemented by Li Yuanfang in this short period of time is also going smoothly, plus the "East Asian Righteous Army" in western Liaoning has suffered a serious setback, and there is no danger in Liujiabao at this time, so He Tianci is also relieved.

Before leaving, He Tianci instructed Li Enyi to deal more with the American businessman Johnson, and if there was any new business, he would make his own decisions and set up it in Liujiabao.

As for what to plant on so much land this year, there is no doubt that it is the Northeast soft gold soybean, this era of Northeast soybeans once occupied 80 to 90% of the world market, but it can be said that I monopolized the oil mill industry, so I must increase my efforts this time, introduce more oil mill equipment, and have no soybean interests in the Russian War, and completely monopolize the interests of soybeans in Northeast China. Once you monopolize the soybean industry, you can also negotiate terms with foreigners, because after all, soybeans in the Northeast at this time occupy 80 to 90 percent of the market, which is soft gold.

Of course, it can only be Li Yuanfang who sits in Liujiabao, because Li Yuanfang is really a rare handsome talent, and he can be alone without Li Yuanfang's own fifth brother, and his young men in Liujiabao can also be regarded as their own reserves, although their combat effectiveness is not strong, but it is more than enough to deal with those Kwantung bandits. Even Tian Yi's headquarters, which received the assistance of Yuben, faced these reserve militias of his own, wasn't they also beaten and scattered and fled?

But what I'm most worried about is Feng Delin, after all, this ** big brother in the Northeast, the nest is in Guangning (now Jinzhou North Town, Liaoning), and the one hundred and eight gangs under his command are not joking, after all, they are veteran bandits, and they still have a certain amount of combat effectiveness.

He Tianci looked at the soldiers who put them on again, compared with the previous Russian military uniforms, the soldiers in the patrol battalion uniforms are not a grade at all, and they are very funny, maybe this is decay. At this time, the entire Celestial Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty were filled with this decadent thought, and the clothes of the patrol battalion of the Great Qing Dynasty were dragged with a big braid, what kind of battle could they fight, and they really wanted to overthrow the old demon woman Cixi immediately.

But at the moment, his ability is limited after all, in the small fast place of Fengtian, it can be said that he has indeed gained a foothold, through Zhang Xiluan and the opportunity in the Russian War, he has reaped a lot of benefits, and he has long thrown Zhang Zuolin, Feng Delin and others off a few streets, but looking at the whole of China, Yuan Shikai is a big mountain, not to mention himself, it is difficult for the revolutionary party and the Qing court to cross Yuan Shikai's six towns in Beiyang, after all, this is the strongest force of the Celestial Empire at this time.

Therefore, I still have to wait for the opportunity, firmly grasp Fengtian, and become the king of the Northeast, just as the infamous "Tanaka Song" said, if you want to conquer the world, you must first conquer China, and if you want to conquer China, you must first conquer Manchuria. The whole Northeast is full of all kinds of resources, and the land is fertile, and sparsely populated, there is a lot of room for development, and the area of the Northeast at this time is not generally large, today's eastern Inner Mongolia is the scope of the Northeast, and now even Hulunbuir, Chifeng, Tongliao, Xing'an League belong to the scope of the Northeast. People also speak Northeast dialect, but it was later classified as Inner Mongolia.

There are countless horse factories and grasslands in the whole of Eastern Mongolia, and there is more land than Fengtian, which has been developed, after all, the Manchurians still have a lot of privileges in the northeast at this time, and they occupy a lot of land.
