Chapter 314: Jinan Mansion
Jinan Mansion, north of one latitude and three roads. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
This is the westernmost end of the Jiaoji Railway, is a place to prepare for the establishment of the Jiaoji Railway Jinan Railway Station and ancillary facilities, three days ago, in addition to some scattered construction near the end of the Jiaoji Railway, the whole area within a radius of two or three miles is a barren.
Then, in the past three days, it has become the busiest construction site in the whole of Jinan Prefecture, and a large number of migrant workers and craftsmen have poured in, not only leveling all the places and building roads, but also a large number of temporary wooden houses and shacks have been erected from the ground, and all this is done to welcome the arrival of the invaders, the German army.
On the night of four days ago, the German army landed in the German colony of Qingdao in Jiaozhou Bay, and after only one night's rest, it began a new journey, using the Jiaoji Railway, which had not yet been fully completed, to transport troops, and the German army completed a march of nearly 400 kilometers in only three days.
Of course, this is inseparable from the full cooperation of Yuan Shikai, the governor of Shandong, in those sections of the railway that have not been built, the local government, that is to dispatch a lot of manpower and material resources, not only in advance to clear the local chaos that may appear, but also to prepare all kinds of food and materials in advance, do a lot of route guidance signs and so on.
For example, the "Jinan Station of Jiaoji Railway" also came to a big change in three days, directly from a barren land, into a military camp, which can provide a place for more than 30,000 people to rest, where Yuan Shikai dispatched a large number of officers and soldiers to maintain order for the German army, transported a large amount of grain and grass, and even invited a lot of *** for those guys to vent their fire.
To say that the mentality of the Chinese people, it is indeed not very good, since the arrival of the German army one after another, it has attracted a large number of national onlookers, and with Yuan Shikai with the Shandong Governor's Mansion officials arrived, the onlookers reached a climax, unknowingly, they greeted a group of wolves from the other side of the ocean, dressed in sheep's clothing, is a group of real executioners.
Woooooo
Bang bang!
With the sound of a low train whine, a train slowly drove into the "railway station", and for three days this train came and went, and all 30,000 German soldiers and horses arrived, and this will be the last trip, carrying the commander of the Eight-Nation Alliance, German Field Marshal Waldsee.
"My lord, that is the German commander Wadsey."
With the nearly seventy-year-old Wadsey, like a proud rooster off the train, one of the three heroes of Beiyang "Duan Hu" Duan Qirui only showed Yuan Shikai for the first time, although Duan Qirui did not go to Qingdao to contact the German army, but with the arrival of the German army one after another, Duan Qirui was stunned to find a few former classmates, established some relationships, and became a bridge between Yuan Shikai and the German army.
Yuan Shikai nodded, under the leadership of Duan Qirui, walked to the German commander Wadsey, with twelve points of enthusiasm, and twelve points of flattery, and Wadsey had the first contact, for Yuan Shikai, Wadsey still understood, plus, along the way Yuan Shikai's full cooperation, so the arrogant Wadsey also rarely chatted with Yuan Shikai and Yan Yuese for nearly ten minutes, and also personally invited Yuan Shikai to the barracks to do it, in this regard, Yuan Shikai had a little scruples and did not go, after making some excuses, then left in a hurry and returned to the governor's yamen.
Yuan Shikai is a typical **** and want to set up a memorial arch, for the German army and Wadsey, Yuan Shikai can only coax a good supply, so as not to make trouble in Shandong, however, he knows that this time the German army is menacing, it is bound to be a major harm to China, especially Zhili, so Yuan Shikai must keep a certain distance from the German army and Wadsey, in this case, Yuan Shikai can come to the train to meet Wadsey, it is already a big risk, how dare to enter the German barracks.
"Whew, nothing went wrong, and when these guys are sent away safely tomorrow, we will be able to breathe a sigh of relief."
In the governor's yamen, in Yuan Shikai's study, Yuan Datou breathed a sigh of relief, almost all of them along the Jiaoji Railway have been serving the German army in the past few days, fortunately, everything is still going well, and after paying so much, there is finally a good result.
"Actually, the Germans are still very talkative, you see that today Marshal Wadsey also warmly invited the adults to go to the German military camp for a deep talk." Duan Qirui said bluntly.
Duan Qirui said this, so that Feng Dog Feng Guozhang on the side was speechless, and his contempt was not hidden, even Wang Long and Wang Shizhen turned their heads to the side, these days the whole Shandong has been giving the German army as a grandson, which in exchange for Wadsey's "pleasant face", and this was actually said by Duan Qirui to be reasonable and easy to speak.
As for the invitation to the German military camp, Yuan Shikai really didn't have the courage to go, on the one hand, he was afraid of being poked in the backbone by the Chinese, and on the other hand, he was also worried that the German army would be unfavorable to him.
"Well, it's been hard for the past few days." Feng Gou and Wang Long ignored Duan Qirui, and Yuan Shikai could only take over and praise him.
"It's not hard, it's not hard, it's a humble honor to serve adults." Duan Qirui hurriedly responded.
"Well, after tonight, everyone will have a few days off to rest and rest, but tonight, we can't relax, especially pay close attention to the situation around the German barracks, and go to don't let those blind guys cause trouble at the last moment." Yuan Shikai said bluntly.
"Don't worry, my lord, we have set up a few cards for several passages to the German barracks, and there shouldn't be any problems." Duan Qirui responded, and the matter of setting up the card was also agreed by the German army, so Duan Qirui was able to say it with such confidence.
"That's good." Yuan Shikai nodded.
"My lord, don't worry too much about the affairs of Jinan Mansion." When Wang Long Wang Shizhen said this, he suddenly changed his words and said: "However, according to the report of the county order of Linxian, in the area of Wulong Mountain, the junction of Dezhou and Linxian, a large number of suspicious characters were found three days ago, and it is unknown whether these people are coming for the German army. ”
Thousands of people from the Black Dragon Army gathered in Wulong Mountain, even if they were doing it secretly, as long as the government had a heart, it was difficult to achieve complete secrecy, and the thousands of people in the Black Dragon Army only rested in Wulong Mountain for a night, and then dispersed again, which is difficult not to attract people's attention, not to mention, the current Shandong is Shandong run by Lao Yuan.
"Have you found out the roots of those people?" Yuan Shikai frowned and asked.
"No, those people are of unknown origin, and they scattered the next day, most of them entered Zhili, only a small number stayed in Wulong Mountain, we sent people to investigate, but the people who probed were either dead or there was no trace." Wang Shizhen said bluntly.
"That's weird." Feng Guozhang also answered: "It stands to reason that it is more likely that the boxers who fled back from Zhili, but if they are boxers, they should hide in our Shandong territory, so how can they enter Zhili?" ”
"My lord, if you want me to say, as long as they don't enter our territory, we don't care who they are, naturally the German army will clean them up, we just need to make sure that nothing happens tonight, and ensure that the German army leaves Jinan Mansion safely, and our battle will be considered a victory." Duan Qirui said.
"That's right." Yuan Shikai nodded, looked at Wang Shizhen again, and muttered: "Anyway, I still order people to pay attention." ”
"Wow."
