After forcing everyone to jointly declare the uprising, Yuan Shikai immediately sent people to take over the military power of the various departments, although they also encountered a certain amount of resistance, but Yuan Shikai's combat effectiveness was superior, and he was prepared against unprepared, and he had sent people to secretly spread the news of the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty before inviting guests to shake the hearts of the troops, so it was quite smooth, only the banner generals such as Yiketanga and Shengjing General Yulu stationed in Fengtian City did not come and escaped.

When Li Hui urgently ordered a cavalry regiment to rush out of the pass to meet the city of Fengtian, the troops under Yuan Shikai's command had soared to more than 50,000 people, considering that the so-called 100,000 Qing troops were quite watery, and some officers and soldiers deserted, Yuan Shikai had actually taken down most of the soldiers and horses around Fengtian before.

Although because there were not many cavalry under his command and the morale of the army was not stable, when Yi Ketang'a and Yulu and others led the army to abandon the city, Yuan Shikai only symbolically chased after it and let them take thousands of Manchu and Mongolian cavalry to the Japanese, but this result had already made Li Hui overjoyed.

You must know that Li Hui was originally preparing to solve the Qing army outside the Guanwai by force, because at the same time, he also had to deal with the third division of the Japanese army, and if he wanted to annihilate it completely, the three brigades might not be enough. But now that Yuan Shikai has revolted with so many Qing troops, the situation in the northeast has suddenly become extremely favorable

Li Hui introduced to the delegates with a red face, "Yuan Shikai's more than 50,000 people are relatively elite among the Qing army, in addition to the cavalry regiment that is already in place, I plan to strengthen them with a cadre regiment and an infantry regiment, so as to complete the reorganization as soon as possible." In the process of reorganization, unqualified officers and soldiers will be eliminated, but with the addition of new personnel, there will always be more than 40,000 people, even if it is not enough to eliminate the Japanese Third Division and the puppet army that has taken refuge in them, they can at least block them east of the Liao River, and wait until the first cavalry brigade of the Zhaowuda League, the Zhelimu League and the Zhuosuotu League is divided into troops to join the division in the south, and the enemy will not be able to escape! ”

When the delegates heard this, they all applauded, because they all knew that the most powerful and threatening enemy on land at present was the uninvited villain of the Japanese Third Division, and as long as they could be eliminated, the elite area of eastern China would be completely safe. Moreover, after sweeping Fengtian, it is also a matter of course to take Jilin and Heilongjiang by taking advantage of the situation.

However, many deputies were still a little worried about the fact that Tsarist Russia might not be able to hold back and directly send troops to intervene, but Li Hui did not take the threat of Tsarist Russia to heart, and the Guangzhou troops easily wiped out tens of thousands of British troops stationed in Hong Kong, which greatly increased his confidence in his army.

"There is no need to worry too much about the threat from Russia, our border with Russia is very long, and it is naturally more advantageous to attack than to defend, once the fight starts, there will be wolf smoke everywhere, but the border between the two countries has not been developed much, and there is no railway, so it is not enough to support the operation of the large corps. In other words, don't look at China and Russia as big powers, but once a fight starts, it can only be a small and medium-sized conflict, and neither can destroy the other. Li Hui's analysis made everyone's eyes shine, and finally understood why Russia's military and national strength were far superior to those of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but in the past few decades, it has only seized various opportunities to take advantage of the fire and use diplomatic means to invade China's territory, but did not dare to really invade on a large scale.

Then Li Hui gave an example of the foreign relations in the history of Tsarist Russia, including those that fought and those that did not, to explain to everyone the essence of its foreign strength and middle cadres, "When the territory is invaded by foreign enemies, the Russian nation will show unity and tenacity, coupled with the help of Russia's cold weather in winter, there are few foreign enemies who do not return home, so it is difficult to conquer this country." But in stark contrast, when they invade other countries, their performance is much worse, and the reason why they can expand to such a large territory is only because their opponents are not strong or they have chosen the right allies at a critical time."

"Especially after the Industrial Revolution, the cavalry superiority of Tsarist Russia has been greatly weakened, and the defects of its backward and rotten system have been increasingly exposed, and its army is now almost only that huge number and a little deterrent, but as I have said before, if Tsarist Russia starts a war with us now, their superiority in strength will not be brought into play at all. With the same strength, the Russian army simply cannot compete with such first-class powers as Britain, France and Germany. And we can easily defeat even the British army, are we still afraid of Lao Maozi's 'gray livestock'? Li Hui smiled confidently.

Then Li Hui changed his words again and said frankly, "However, like Tsarist Russia, we will not be happy if we really fight, especially in Xinjiang, if we fight in that area, it is more advantageous for the Russian army to have logistics, so if we can not fight, we should try not to fight." In view of the Tsarist government's consistent bullying of the weak and fearing the hard, the most important point for us to avoid war is that we must fully demonstrate our strength and prevent the Tsarist government from underestimating us and misjudging the situation. This is one of the important reasons why I am planning to fight the British, and what could be more awe-inspiring than defeating the world hegemon? In fact, not only against Tsarist Russia, but also for other powers, I believe that after defeating Britain, no other great power will dare to take the initiative to invade our country, because they understand that to do so is to kill themselves! ”

Some expressed their support for Li Hui's viewpoint, while others were worried that the Tsarist government would see that China and Britain were at war and would see an opportunity to invade on a large scale before the war was over, and that the goal of defeating the British Empire was more or less lacking in confidence except for the two representatives of the navy.

"Rest assured, our contest with the British army is mainly at sea, and the ground forces invested are very limited, at most tens of thousands, because we just want to force Britain to sue for peace, so we just need to occupy a few strategic points and supply ports, and will not occupy too many army forces. And the Tsarist government must have understood this, as long as our war goes well, Tsarist Russia will not dare to take risks. The same is true of the other powers, and they can only take the sea route, as long as our sea control is not lost, they have no way at all, I know that you are worried about the Western powers uniting, but the Westerners are afraid of the strong and the weak, and they are mercenary, and they are not so stupid to challenge an impossible opponent for the interests of Britain! As long as we don't take the initiative to provoke the colonies and spheres of influence of other countries," Li Hui said, pausing to ask him a question when he saw one of the delegates raise his hand.
