Chapter 199 Build a prison city to fight a dumb battle

On August 5, at 2:10 p.m., Zuo Guigui and Zhou Lemin met with Lieutenant General Lu Yonghu, the supreme commander of the Chinese Empire's garrison in Silla and the commander of the Third Army of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire!

In fact, Zuo Guigui is much older than this lieutenant general, but there is no way, who let this guy have a close relationship with the emperor, so when they came to the military department, the two battle-hardened veterans still had to respect this top boss. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After the two passed the investigation of the guard battalion directly under the army, they came to Lu Yonghu, and when they came inside, Lu Yonghu was eating with a box of canned food, not canned luncheon meat, but canned fruit.

Although the transportation has been greatly improved in this era, many fruits still cannot be delivered to the hands of the people in time, many fruits are rotten on the fruit trees, and the people now think that they still eat meat, so canned food in many cities can only be a luxury for the upper class.

For the sake of commodity economic interests, under the organization of the Ministry of the Interior, fruits began to be collected to make canned food in the main fruit-producing areas of the country, which not only solved the problem of fruit stagnation of fruit farmers, but also made delicious food that can be stored for a long time.

In the beginning, canned fruit was only enjoyed by high-level people, but with the popularity of canning factories, and only canning does not require a lot of capital and technical investment, so in this era, canning has become an industry again. The development of the canned food industry has led to the development of the glass industry, so that the manufacturing industry of the Chinese Empire now accounts for 17% of the world's proportion.

At this time, Lu Yongshi directly took out the flesh of the last piece of peach in the bottle with his hand, stuffed it in his mouth and chewed it, then picked up the glass bottle in his hand and saw the slogan on it: "Knowledge changes fate!" ”。

He shook his head, then placed the glass bottles on a table leaning against the wall, which was already three layers of white glass bottles, and on them were propaganda slogans, like what: "Science and technology are the first productive forces!" "If you want to get rich, build roads first!" "Wait!

After seeing Zuo Guigui and Zhou Lemin come in, Lu Yongshi pointed to the boxes of cans placed under the windowsill, all of which were packed in wooden boxes. Talked about; "I want to eat it myself, but it's only the hawthorn left!"

The two of them first gave the commander a military salute, and Lu Yonghu also symbolically replied, and then pointed to the chair and motioned for the two to sit down. Zuo Guigui naturally sat in his seat.

Zhou Lemin walked towards the can, looking through each box, and while flipping through it, he made a light coughing sound from time to time!

Lu Yonghu also sat in his seat, then lit a cigarette, and at the same time threw the cigarette to Zuo Guigui, who was not polite, took out one from it and lit it himself. Smoke it up with it!

Lu Yonghu said; "First of all! I would like to make it clear to you both that your military operations in Seoul will not be rewarded by any department, and although you are now highly regarded by the people in the country, your actions do not correspond to the overall strategic plan of the empire. But what! We are all brothers, and I admire your courage very much!

As you can see, in order to ensure the smooth withdrawal of your division, I have mobilized the strength of the three main artillery regiments of our entire army! The cover of all-round three-dimensional fire isolation along the way, this is the good life of the two of you, meet a good boss like me!

Do you know how much bigger shells we have to cover you this time? 30,000 rounds! This is all the benevolence and righteousness of me, the army commander!

Zuo Guigui smoked silently, and did not express any opinion on the performance of this military commander! It was Zhou Lemin who had already opened a box of canned food with the help of a staff officer, and he first took a sip of sweet soup to relieve the burning sensation in his throat.

After taking a sip, he felt much better, and after hearing Lu Yonghu's words, he came to Zuo Guigui's side and said to Lu Yonghu; "The benevolence and righteousness of the army commander are recognized in the whole army, and the hearts of the brothers are clear and mirror-like!"

Lu Yonghu smiled unabashedly and said; "That's, that's!"

Zhou Lemin said; "This time, I will definitely send a telegram to Marshal Yuan Shikai, telling me about the wisdom and majesty of the military seat, and the perfect character of courage and tenacity!"

Lu Yonghu said; "This is not important, I said Lao Zhou, you send a telegram to your brother-in-law, Vice Premier He Ziyuan, and tell him that I have a cousin named Li Haijin. He is very cutting-edge in modern scientific and technological research, and there are so many vice presidents of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, and it is not a matter to appoint him! Right! ”

Zhou Lemin's hand holding the can shook for a moment, and then followed by a few coughs, he adjusted his breathing while cooperating with Lu Yonghu to speak; "That's right! Right! The military seat is right! ”

Lu Yonghu said; "You guys should immediately withdraw to Pyongyang for repairs, now our Third Army is almost set at the 38th parallel, where the marshal in Pyongyang has two regiments of troops left, it is really a little little, but all your heavy artillery is left!

No problem! ”

Zuo Guigui said at this time; "My division obeys orders!"

At this time, Lu Yonghu spoke again; "Old Zhou! You'll go to Jingshi! Where the medical conditions are now the best in the empire, even the dead can be revived, and the military doctor has already told me that your current physical condition is no longer something that our field hospital can handle! ”

Zhou Lemin glanced at Zuo Guigui, Zuo Guigui didn't speak, but he nodded!

Zhou Lemin stood up and saluted Lu Yonghu with a military salute; "Obey orders!"

Lu Yonghu also stood up at this time, and then spoke; "Let's go after a three-day truce! Let's go! Don't forget to send a telegram! ”

The two once again saluted Lu Yonghu and turned to leave!

At this time, Zhou Lemin couldn't take away the unfinished canned food, so he put it on the table, but this action was seen by Lu Yonghu, and he talked about it later; "Lao Zhou, you take it away, who eats what you have left, ah! I almost forgot! By the way, your fortifications here are well repaired, and I have already reported to the General Staff to ask for credit to you! ”

Zhou Lemin had no choice but to come back and take away his canned food and bottles, and the two of them saluted Lu Yonghu again and said a military salute; "Thank you, Gunza! It's like leaving! ”

Zuo Guigui and Zhou Lemin returned to their division headquarters, their original division headquarters had long been occupied by Lu Yonghu, and the current division headquarters is a factory producing plastic canvas in the north of the Kaesong Industrial Zone.

A pungent smell permeated the factory at all times, and the foremen of the Chinese Empire inside the factory wore gas masks and worked with the North Korean workers in thick masks.

The other soldiers and officers all used smoking to fight poison to resist, but Zhou Lemin couldn't, he could only hide in the house when he got here, but fortunately he could finally return to Beijing!

Zhou Lemin did not get out of the car, and directly took the car of the military headquarters to Pyongyang, where Zuo Guigui organized a vehicle to transport the wounded and sick and materials and left Kaicheng, and when he left three days later, the General Staff issued a commendation order!

"The 3019th Division of the Third Army of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire, all the officers and soldiers have performed outstanding in the construction of fortifications in Silla, and the whole division is hereby recorded as a second-class meritorious service, and all individuals with outstanding performance are individually commended!"

Zuo Guigui saw the list known, the people who were praised on it were all soldiers and officers who performed valiantly in the battle of Seoul, and the soldiers who died in the battle were awarded first-class merits, plus first-class pensions, but they were all in the name of meritorious service in the construction of trenches!

Zuo Guigui sighed softly, and it was always better than nothing, so let's finally talk about comfort!

。。。。。。

On August 5th, after Nogi Noshinori found out that something was wrong, he immediately sent the wrong person to start an attack on Seoul, unexpectedly, and did not encounter any resistance as expected, which made Nogi Noshinori happy and very angry!

Captain Inazuma Yoshimototaro is also very busy now, he commanded his wing to rush into Seoul first, first began to advance cautiously and slowly, but later found that this was really an empty city, and began to move with great fanfare, first of all, to pull out the dragon flag of the Chinese Empire and the flag of the Korean Kingdom.

These dragon flags of the Chinese Empire were first thrown aside casually, and then Japanese soldiers began to burn them. Japan's military flags are all given by the emperor of Japan, and taking these military flags of the Chinese Empire is a great military achievement!

Captain Inazo Yoshimoto Taro collected the battle flags of the Chinese Empire and the Korean Army, and Captain Inazo Yoshimoto Taro collected the battle flags of the three divisions of the Chinese Empire, as well as the battle flags of the Fifth Army and the Third Army of the Korean New Army!

After these battle flags were returned to Japan, the Japanese base camp thought that their Second Front Army had wiped out the strength of two Korean armies and three divisions in Huaxia, so it would pay the price of 30,000 casualties, so the loss was worth it!

However, this was not the case at all, but when the commendation was issued, the top brass of the Japanese army, which had always emphasized discipline and principles, chose to remain silent, and every officer who had been knighted and rewarded accepted it with peace of mind.

Oyama Iwa knew that after capturing Seoul, he immediately moved his headquarters to Seoul, and at this time, Keisuke Oshima could finally come out, and when Captain Inazona Yoshimoto Taro led the troops to the Joseon Palace, he vomited on the spot when he saw the scene outside the palace, he had never seen such a novel scene, it was too shocking, and he would not eat raw meat slices in the future!

When Keisuke Oshima's people came out, Inaza Yoshimoto Taro didn't think these people were Japanese, but more like ghosts came to the world, these soldiers and ronin's bodies were covered with bloodstains, the blood stains formed into blood pods, and the clothes became black, and these people were all smelly, and the two eyes of these people were red, and they were full of anger when they looked at everyone!

Captain Inazona Yoshimoto Taro doesn't have to think about it to know what happened during this time!

At this time, the Koreans who were in it or in it were all close ministers of the Joseon king, and at first they were afraid, but every day people died, and then they became numb, and everyone felt numb to death.

King Yi Hee of Joseon and his beloved concubine Concubine Min can finally see the sun outside again, and then it will only be a moment of freedom, and they will immediately be invited to the "Unkun Palace" in North Korea! ”。 This is a royal garden in North Korea, which has not suffered great damage and can still live for the time being.

The Joseon royal palace must be sorted out, but the people who come out of it, even the Japanese, are unwilling to go back, where is the entrance to hell on earth, and where has the devil already installed his lair!

。。。。。。

A new life began on the island of Ryukyu, first of all, to dispose of the corpses on the island, which were too many, and to establish a memorial to the concentration camp, which was an eternal pain in the hearts of the Ryukyu people, and also that the merchants had re-arrived in Ryukyu, and the officials of the Chinese Empire had come to Ryukyu to re-crown the new king.

But what they were waiting for was not the Nanjing government of the Chinese Empire, or the officials of the Ministry of the Interior, the first to come was the officials of the General Logistics Department of the Chinese Empire, a large number of transport ships gathered in the port, and the Ryukyuan people who did not die are now treasures, and these people are loading and unloading this cargo at the dock!

The Chinese Empire did not have enough sappers, and the construction of large warehouses began in the area, and the Ryukyus began to show their importance as an important part of the future of the Chinese Empire's navy. After all, there are still not many naval supply ships in the Huaxia Empire now!

With Ryukyu Island as a supply station, the navy of the Chinese Empire can be replenished in the Ryukyus, and the radius of activity of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire can also be expanded to the western Pacific Ocean, so that the sea gate of the Chinese Empire can be regarded as open, so the navy must first take this big island!

Then the Marines began to clear the island from south to north, until they completely occupied Ryukyu Island, and then began to set off for the next stop, Tokunoshima!

It was not until August 10 that the Ministry of the Interior of the Chinese Empire sent an official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Lu Zhengxiang, to talk to Jin Bihui about the reward.

The Ryukyus are first restored, but the Ryukyus themselves have now been weakened too much by Japan, and it is difficult to face the future challenges alone, so the Chinese Empire will implement the necessary protection for the Ryukyus, and it will definitely not damage the Ryukyus, Japan invaded the Yamato Islands of the Ryukyus, and the Okara and the islands must be returned to the Ryukyus, which cannot be negotiated!

Jin Bihui heard the envoy Lu Zhengxiang like this, his heart was very excited, he originally thought that it would be good for Huaxia to restore sovereignty to the main island of Ryukyu at most, but he did not expect such a generosity of the Chinese Empire, not only the original territory and islands were given to Ryukyu, but also the disputed territory was also assigned to Ryukyu.

This is a fraternal country!

The prince of the Ryukyu Kingdom, the current king of the Ryukyu Kingdom, was so excited that he couldn't speak!

The next step was the signing of a friendly peace treaty between the two countries, and the two countries made it very clear that the territorial scope, the Sendao Islands were the territory of the Chinese Empire, and the sea area south of the Ryukyu Islands was the territorial waters of the Chinese Empire, and the Ryukyu Kingdom only claimed the exclusive economic zone of 30 nautical miles from the Ryukyu Islands. All ports in the Ryukyu Kingdom were open to the Chinese Empire without restrictions.

Because the Ryukyu Kingdom asked the Chinese Empire to protect the security of the Ryukyu Kingdom's waters, the ports of the Ryukyu Kingdom were leased to the Chinese Imperial Navy, and the military forces of the Chinese Empire had the sole right to use all the Ryukyu ports, and when the naval warships of countries other than the Chinese Empire needed to dock at the Ryukyu ports, they had to obtain the consent of the Chinese Imperial Navy!

The Chinese Empire leased the ports of the Ryukyus, and paid the Ryukyu government an annual rent of "one dragon yuan", which could not be used in any other form of debt, and the Chinese Imperial Navy had to pay in cash. The first period for which the Chinese Imperial Government leased various ports in the Ryukyus was 99 years, from August 19, 1894 to August 19, 1993.

This contract, no matter how the two governments change in the future, should take the credibility of the country as their own responsibility, thoroughly implement it, and regret it!

。。。。。。。

The emperor of Japan convened a meeting in front of the emperor, and he was very angry with the Ryukyus, and the fault of the trend navy, the original king of the Ryukyus was deleted from the list of Chinese people, abolished as a concubine, and expelled the noble parliamentarians! The days of the old kings of the Ryukyus in Japan gradually began to decline!

At this time, Japan held an emergency meeting, and now the situation is very critical, although Korea has been destroyed, but it is still far from the initial strategic goal, especially the heavy damage to the Chinese Empire, although it seems to have almost wiped out the Chinese Empire's naval fleet, but the main force of the Chinese Imperial Naval Fleet is still there, and this navy is doing whatever it wants in the south of Japan!

The emperor looked at the ministers below and asked, "Have you come up with a good solution?"

At this time, almost all the ministers looked at Prince Tomithito Komatsu, because this guy is now the chief of the general staff of the base camp, but this guy doesn't care at all, almost everything is done by Kawakami Cao Sixth Lieutenant General!

At this time, Kawakami stood up, he first walked to the emperor's curtain, bowed deeply to the Meiji emperor who was sitting inside, and spoke; "Your Majesty the Emperor! Now that General Daesan Am has taken Korea, he will soon be able to capture Silla Province, and then we will be able to occupy the territory of the Huaxia Empire.

Moreover, General Yamagutomo has already begun to land in Vladivostok, as long as we take this important port in Heilongjiang Province, we can obtain the raw materials we need most, so as to achieve the purpose of fighting to support the war!

So now our overall strategy is appropriate!

At this time, Emperor Meiji spoke; "Isn't the loss of Ryukyu important?"

At this time, Kawakami Caoliu didn't dare to speak! No one dares to speak anymore!

At this time, Hirobumi Ito, the prime minister of Japan and the privy council of Japan, said; "Your Majesty the Emperor! In order to deal a heavy blow to the Chinese Empire, we must be patient! It's all a price to pay! ”
