Chapter 10: The Wheels of War
Since the existence of human civilization, the pace of war has also crept in. No matter what you do, the wheel of war is always turning, and it is constantly changing the world as it turns.
On the night of February 8, 1904, under the lighthouse on the coast of Arthur and the searchlights of Russian ships.
The Japanese ships kept an eye on the Russian fleet and fired 16 torpedoes at close range, 3 of which hit the target, severely damaging 3 of Russia's best ships, opening the prelude to the war.
The sound of explosions and artillery alarmed the whole of Arthur.
This time, the behemoth of war once again turned its wheels firmly and slowly.
Only this time I don't know what kind of changes it will bring to the world.
"Outside the ship, outside the ship, the Japanese ships attacked Lushun last night and severely damaged the three capital ships of the Russian Navy, and Japan and Russia went to war without declaring war."
"Outside the ship, outside the ship, the Japanese ships attacked Lushun last night and severely damaged the three capital ships of the Russian Navy, and Japan and Russia went to war without declaring war."
The little newspaper boy shouted barefoot in the street, for he only knew that there was war, and he did not know what it would bring.
"Sir, buy a newspaper." The little newsboy said to a passerby.
The person who was stopped was wearing a blue-gray military uniform, and after being stopped, he asked the little newsboy with interest
"Oh, what's the news today?"
The little newsboy saw that what he had stopped was actually an official.
I was suddenly a little panicked in my heart, but I still had the courage to say: "Master Jun, Japan and Russia are at war. "What, Japan and Russia are going to war so soon, bring me a newspaper." The officer then threw the newsboy a silver dollar, "No need to look for it," and the officer quickly left.
Looking at the officer who was leaving quickly, the newsboy weighed the silver dollar in his hand, and thought that he was lucky to meet a generous person so quickly today.
Immediately, the newsboy thought again, how good it would be if there were such people every day, and after a day, the newsboy sold a lot of newspapers today.
Well, today's newspaper sells a lot, but it's a pity that such a good business doesn't happen every night.
I bought some meat today and went home and I haven't eaten meat in a long time.
The newsboy thought happily
Inside Shanhaiguan, Wang Yingkai looked at the newspaper in his hand and wondered, how could this scene be the same as the scene Youde said in the banquet that night?
Wang Yingkai thought for a moment and sighed, the future seems to be the age of young people.
Yuan Shikai, who was in the capital at the moment, sighed when he heard that the Japanese Navy had attacked Port Arthur.
Then I thought in my heart that this Wang Bin is really a god, and we are all expecting that there should be an opportunity for the war between Japan and Russia.
But I didn't expect it to be an undeclared war, and I really expected the enemy to be thousands of miles away.
"My lord, there is a war, the Russians and the Japanese are at war."
Wang Bin only heard a sound and knew that it was Ma Zikai coming, and only Ma Zikai would shout like this.
As soon as he finished speaking, he pushed the door and entered, and immediately shouted: "My lord, you are a god, the office has just passed by on the street, and a little newspaper boy stopped me and asked me to buy a newspaper, guess what is the headline on the newspaper?" “
Ma Zikai said, "Isn't it just a war between Japan and Russia, what a big deal." “
Wang Bin replied helplessly, "My lord, how did you know before me?" Could it be that you have an undercover agent with the Russians? “
Ma Zikai looked dazed. "If I had an undercover agent in the Russians, you would be the same one." Wang Bin first laughed, and then said: "As soon as you enter the door, the voice is so loud and roaring, it is the three sons who "go to war"
Everybody can hear it.
Ma Zikai touched his head embarrassedly after hearing this. "By the way, let me let you go and find out what the bandits in this western Liaoxi land have gained?"
Wang Bin then asked
This time to investigate the situation of bandits in western Liaoning, Wang Bin handed over the responsibility of Ma Zikai, and he should have touched it in the past few days. "The Ministry of Adult Affairs came to report this matter to the Lord, and the Department of Officials in Liaoxi already knows the situation of the bandits in Western Liaoning.
There are only a few bandits, and the others are some bandits, so there is nothing to worry about, but after the war between Japan and Russia.
I'm afraid that we will have to suppress the ground and suppress bandits, and the department is worried that there will be not enough manpower to maintain the law and order in western Liaoning."
As soon as he asked the topic, Ma Zikai immediately put on a correct attitude and said: "Don't mention this problem of lack of manpower for now, I will send a telegram to Lord Yuan to ask for reinforcements in the future."
As for the issue of suppressing bandits and law and order, I have decided to draw some of the Jinzhou patrol battalion to replace my association to suppress the ground, so that the strength of this bandit suppression will be sufficient for the time being.
Besides, those bandits don't have much combat effectiveness, can it be that they can be more elite than the soldiers of my first association? “
Wang Bin asked Ma Zikai, "My lord, I laughed, how could those bandits be the opponents of my association." Ma Zikai said with a smile, "That's it, I'm going to draw part of the troops from the cavalry battalion and cooperate with the two infantry teams to suppress the bandits, as for the responsibility of the bandits, you Ma Zikai is responsible." “
In Wang Bin's opinion, since Ma Zikai investigated the bandits in western Liaoxi so clearly, there should be no problem in handing over the matter of handing over Ma Zikai to be responsible for eliminating the bandits. "Since the adults said so, then the department will definitely complete the task well and will definitely live up to the trust of the adults."
Ma Zikai replied with an oath. "Well, in that case, I'll have someone go with you to mobilize troops to suppress the bandits."
Wang Bin suddenly remembered that before he was promoted, Wang Yingkai pushed a person in his association, and it was said that he was a relative, or it was said that he was a high-achieving student who graduated from the infantry department of the Army Accelerated School.
Wang Bin was not too embarrassed to refuse, so he asked him to take charge of the position of chief of the guard, and this time he went to suppress the bandits, just so that he could go with Ma Zikai to share some credit, just to see if he had any ability.
If he has the ability, Wang Bin doesn't mind giving it a good ride. "My lord, who is it?" Ma Zikai asked with some doubts, "Well, it's just a relative, this time I just want you to take him with me to see what potential he has, but it is said that he is a high-achieving student who graduated from the infantry department of the Army Accelerated School." Wang Bin said, "My lord, my old horse will definitely take good care of a small matter." “
Ma Zikai said indifferently.
Wang Bin nodded after hearing this, and then shouted "Guards"
Immediately, a guard walked in and asked, "What's the matter, sir?" "Go and call the chief of the guard." Wang Bin said, "Yes, my lord." Then the guards went out to find the chief of the guard.
After about five minutes, the head guard came in.
Since this chief guard was stuffed in by Wang Yingkai, Wang Bin has not seen this chief guard.
Wang Bin looked at the chief of the guard, slightly fat, and his square face was featureless
Wang Bin said to the chief of the guard: "I am going to send you to assist Ma Guan to go to Liaoxi to suppress bandits. “
After hearing this, the chief of the guard said brightly, "Lord Xie." "Well, by the way, what is your name, the official doesn't know yet." Wang Bin asked, "Lord Hui, the lower official's name is Sun Chuanfang." The chief guard said, "Oh, it's called Sun Chuanfang." Wang Bin replied.
Rub a cha, Sun Chuanfang, the future commander-in-chief of the Wangwu Province Coalition Army, but shouldn't he go to Japan to study at this time?
Wang Bin was blindsided again, and recalled the background of this guard chief: graduated from the infantry department of the Army Accelerated School, and Wang Yingkai's relative.
It is estimated that Wang Bin has actually been preparing to recruit Sun Chuanfang for a long time, but not now, but now this Sun Chuanfang should not go to Japan to study?
Later, Wang Bin estimated that it was probably Wang Yingkai who saw himself as the leader of the mixed association.
It would be better to put my brother-in-law in me than to go to Japan, and if it is clear that he is a relative, I already expected that I would promote him at the right time.
After the initial surprise, Wang Bin quickly calmed down.
After all, in the future, I may meet more characters that I was familiar with in my previous life.
