If there are some people who feel the best, I am afraid that they are the representatives of the Russian observation mission.
It is really rare to have this opportunity to personally conduct on-the-spot "research and investigation", and what is even more rare is that not only the actual situation here has verified their judgment of the entire future Chinese battlefield, confirmed the correctness of their instigation of the Qing court coup d'état at a critical moment, and overthrown the young empress dowager who was extremely unknown, but also made them see more of what they wanted to see.
Weihai Special Zone has suffered a lot of losses, only they themselves are dumb and eat dumplings, and they know it in their hearts. Therefore, many things that others don't care about, they look at in detail.
In the periphery of Jinan and the construction site of the river control, the fiery battle flags, they almost could see it, and they had to try their best to take a closer look. Here, they saw the big "Xuzhou Regiment", "Suzhou Regiment", "Fuzhou Battalion" and other loud words written on the battle flag, and on the sweaty construction site, after introduction, they also saw those who had heard of it for a long time, but it was rare to see such as Chen Yucheng, Li Shixian, Tan Shaoguang, Chen Tingxiang and so on. From these banners and figures, they got a very important information, the Taiping Red Army was used to recover Weihai, and now when they mention it, they are still subconsciously twitching tightly The most well-equipped first-class army in the Taiping Red Army has now gathered around Jinan, and most of them have appeared on the construction site of the river, what does this mean?
This undoubtedly fully shows that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government did not have the strategic intention of crossing the Yellow River on a large scale, at least for a short time. In addition, a key message was also revealed, that is, once the Taiping Red Army launched a river-crossing operation, the Jinan direction would be the target they would focus on defending in the future.
Of course, they saw something else. Although the Taiping government agreed to the peace talks and threw a large number of troops into the river, the Taiping Red Army was not at all unprepared for the northern bank. On the way to Changqing, they found a very cleverly camouflaged artillery group. In the past, they had not taken this position seriously by relying on observation on the other side, and even through guò intelligence channels, they had not received any information about this artillery group, and this time, if it had not happened that the route had been arranged to pass near the position of this artillery group, everyone would have regarded it as a mass grave from a distance.
After the guidance of some military experts in the US and French observation missions, General Pryushenko, Maryanov, Colonel Habakev, and others in the Russian observation group were now able to open their eyes. It is said that as long as a dozen fights, the firing range will be at least about 20 miles, in other words, the artillery group here can not only make the Tsarist army in Bandu completely die on the Yellow River, but also casually hit any important support point of the Russian army on the north bank.
Of course, there are many things that have been raised about this, not only about the artillery, but also about all kinds of firearms, and so on, and when the members of the United States and France are happy, they cannot help but talk about what they saw at the grand and unique military parade in Tianjing at the beginning of the year. Listening to the chatter of these people, General Pryushenko, who was born as a professional soldier, straightened his eyes, no wonder, no wonder the Tsar's army in Weihai World War I suffered so heavy losses.
With years of experience in visual inspection, Pryushenko only made a rough estimate and judged that there was at least a regimental artillery group of the Taiping Red Army hidden here, and how many artillery groups were so well camouflaged and concealed, or for contingency purposes? That's unimaginable. He secretly screamed a fluke, fortunately he didn't listen to that Li Hongzhang's rhetoric at the beginning, and launched a sneak attack while the Taiping Red Army was busy fighting floods. This Li Hongzhang is really a bastard who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures!
Alas, no wonder, it seems that the decision made by Putiatin, Muravyov, and Minister Ignatiev and others to exchange time for peace talks has arrived at home wisely, and without some hard work and ample preparation, let alone a southward counteroffensive, it is only difficult to defend the Yellow River in front of them. This battle has been fought, but there are really some evil deeds, and until now, even what kind of special equipment the opponent actually has has been kept in the dark. Looking at other people's soldiers, and then thinking about his own "homeless people" and "prisoners", Pryushenko is really a little discouraged, this is the answer to that sentence, you can't raise tough guys in the heap of money and fat powder! , when you go back, you must ruthlessly transform those bastards who only know treasures and women.
The government of the Celestial Empire, as the host, gave the guests who came to participate in the negotiations and observe five days of ample rest in Jinan, and during these five days, in addition to eating and drinking, and entertaining them, the enthusiastic hosts also arranged for the delegates and observers to visit and observe various gatherings in Jinan City and neighboring counties, such as "reminiscences of sorrows," "commendation meetings," "struggle meetings," and so on.
For Zaiyuan, Seng Lingqin and others, this seems to be more like a lesson to them, teaching them how to lead their own army, how to get along with the people, and how to win the greatest support of the people. And for those foreigners, what they see here is the real democracy of the people.
In the past five days, the biggest ** is the condolence meeting held in Jinan. On that day, a garrison of the Red First Army close to Jinan City was crowded with people, people from the surrounding counties, soldiers and peasants and workers on the front line of flood fighting, no less than tens of thousands of people gathered together, and Jinan City was even more empty.
Almost a whole afternoon, the condolence groups from Tianjing and Shanghai and the Northern Xingying Art Troupe brought one unique repertoire after another to the soldiers and civilians who sacrificed their lives and forgot their lives and made great contributions in the flood fighting and rebuilding their homes. Among them, there are the small dramas "Put Down Your Whip" and "Cut Off Your Braids" by the Tianjing Opera Society, which tells the story of the poor peasants fighting against the local tyrants and inferior gentry who oppress them, and fighting for freedom and liberation, the classic play "The White-Haired Girl" by the Shanghai Opera Society, and the "Fish and Water Love" that praises the relationship between the military and the people in the northern camp. These repertoire have made people who only knew about opera before feast their eyes and ears on their eyes and ears, and their hearts are also shocked. Anyone who has participated in and watched this condolence performance, many years later, is still unforgettable about the scene at that time, the grandeur of the scene, the fluctuation of the scene, and the unprecedented unprecedented.
As for the Manchu delegates who were treated as guests and arranged in the best viewing positions, not to mention how unexpected the whole performance was, just at the beginning of this performance, they were dumbfounded and ashamed.
After Lin Haifeng delivered a brief speech, expressing his heartfelt thanks to the representatives from all walks of life who came to watch the performance, the fathers and sisters of the Celestial Empire, and the Red Army soldiers, and Zuo Zongtang praised the meritorious officials from all parties on behalf of the Supreme Revolutionary Command Committee of the Celestial Empire and the Northern Camp, a handsome female soldier came to the stage.
When she had just said "the first program, the chorus of the National Anthem of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" in a crisp and melodious voice, her voice had not yet fallen, and there was no order, and the thousands of Red Army soldiers and officials of the Celestial Empire, including Lin Haifeng and other officials of the Celestial Empire who attended the meeting, stood up to the venue as if they were one person. This is a kind of summoning, although maybe there are many more people who don't understand why, maybe it's because of this atmosphere alone, maybe it's because Lin Haifeng, the great official of the Celestial Empire, stood there, and when nearly a hundred artists walked onto the makeshift stage and lined up in a singing formation, all the people who had been sitting stood up.
Members of the U.S. and French observer missions also stood up, out of courtesy. Of course, there were also the members of the Observation Mission of Tsarist Russia, who, though they did not expect to meet this hand, and despite their extreme reluctance and reluctance, they had to do so anyway.
"Get up! People who don't want to be slaves! Build our flesh and blood into our new Great Wall! The Chinese nation has arrived, and at the most dangerous time, everyone is forced to let out the last roar!
Get up! Get up! Get up! We are all as one, braving the enemy's artillery fire, braving the enemy's artillery fire, forward! Advance! Advance! Enter! ”
This is not only the voice of nearly 100 artists on the stage, but also the majestic voice of nearly 4,000 red soldiers from the bottom of their hearts.
When the song started, the representatives of the Manchu Qing Dynasty stood up in a daze, and none of them understood what this was for, just because the foreigners had stood up, and it seemed to be indecent not to stand up again. But when they heard the earth-shattering song, was it just a shame and shame for them?
They were once proud and proud, and they also claimed to be the so-called Great Qing Dynasty of the Heavenly Empire, which also had a history of more than 200 years, but they never had anything precious about it.
