Yuan Keding is definitely not a fool, what if the Japanese want to go to war, the army, they can only attack from the northeast, where is Yang Chao's 300,000, let the Yuan family father and son sleep peacefully in the Northeast Army, let the Northeast Army and the Japanese army have a defeat This is good. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As for the Japanese navy, Yuan Dagongzi also knew that the Beiyang Navy couldn't stop it at all, but so what, the current Beiyang Navy is almost all ships built by Yang Chao, Liu Guanxiong and Sa Zhenbing are almost only Yang Chao's head, and such a Beiyang Navy will be destroyed if it is destroyed.

What to do with the bombing of Chinese ports by the Japanese?

Lushun they couldn't bomb it if they wanted to, where the fortress was not afraid of the Japanese naval guns, when the Russians were there, the Japanese couldn't attack anywhere, and now where Yang Chao's army occupied, the Japanese probably couldn't take it.

Attack Tianjin, this is an international city, and the Japanese themselves are stationed in Tianjin.

What about bombing Yingkou or Yantai? Yingkou is the sphere of influence of the British, and Yantai is now an international city.

Qingdao is a German colony, Shanghai is a free city involving all the powers, and the concessions are lined with Japanese bombs.

The Japanese navy wants to bomb all the way south to Guangzhou, and the Japanese navy wants to bomb it, except for bombing the villages by the sea, and they dare to bomb them; as for the thatched huts in the poor fishing villages, the Japanese are afraid that they will not be able to recover the bomb fees.

Yuan Dagongzi felt that it didn't seem to be a bad thing for foreigners to occupy the port, at least no one dared to move, which was probably the only benefit of a semi-colonial country.

There is only one thing to worry about: "What if the Japanese land in Tianjin and attack Beijing?" ”

Yuan Keding was most worried about this, if the Japanese hit Beijing, the Beiyang Army really didn't have the confidence to stop it.

Yang Chao comforted him and said: "Don't worry, if the Japanese dare to land in Tianjin, I will send troops to Heilongjiang!" ”

Yuan Dagongzi is still not at ease: "The Japanese have expanded their troops to 1.5 million." ”

Yang Chao said: "Don't worry, the Japanese occupy the land of the people in the Northeast, and if they fight the Japanese, the people of the Northeast will have two million soldiers." ”

Yuan Keding couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, he knew that Yang Chao had this ability, as long as there were people, he would have a gun. As long as Yang Chao is in Japan, it is expected that the Japanese will not dare to divide their troops in Tianjin.

But what if Yang Chao didn't move?

"Lord Yang's words count?"

Yang Chao said quite unhappily: "You people who play tricks climb up by betrayal. I am essentially a businessman, and I rely on credit to make money in business, and as a businessman, I also insist on maintaining relationships with friendship, so you can rest assured! ”

Yuan Keding knew that Yang Chao had always had an outstanding reputation in business, but he couldn't be the master yet, so he had to discuss it with his father.

Yuan Shikai is much bolder than Yuan Keding, and he also believes that Yang Chao's words count.

"Keding. This Yang Chao's vision is still very poisonous. Mr. Zhang talked to me before his death, saying that Yang Chao has a ability, which is called standing in the world to see China, jumping out of the world to see the world! He saw that the Japanese would not dare to go to war at this time! ”

Yuan Shikai said to his son.

Yuan Keding didn't understand: "The Japanese have always been arrogant, they really don't dare to go to war?" ”

Yuan Shikai sneered: "Now that we China are allied with Germany and the United States, we don't dare to go to war if we give him the courage." Moreover, the Japanese robbed the Russians of the place, and the Russians were desperate to get it back. France and Russia are brothers again. Britain, the United States, France, Germany, and Russia, among these powers, there is only one Britain helping Japan, and it is not really a help, so they dare to fight at this time? ”

"What does Father mean? Let's grab! ”

"Rob? Is this a robbery? It's confiscation! ”

Yuan Shikai's expression was cold, he always had a bad impression of the Japanese, he was almost killed by the Japanese in Korea, just like Tsar Nikolai can be tough in front of the Japanese, Yuan Shikai will be tough against the Japanese, if he has the opportunity, he will also be hard.

"Then how do we confiscate it?"

Yuan Keding asked again.

How to confiscate is a matter of procedure and a matter of care.

The seizure of the factories of the Japanese and the closure of their banks is a lot of money, but the first difficulty is who will do it.

You must know that the reason why the robbers of the Japanese have oil and water is precisely because the Japanese have many factories and banks have money, but the problem is also that there are many factories in Japan, and they have to seal down their factories all at once before they can smell the news.

You have to send the person you trust the most, others are afraid of leaking the news, and you have to act quickly, and you have to be the same at the same time.

So the first step has to be carefully planned, and then it has to be thundered to take it down in one fell swoop. However, Yuan Shikai's control over the local area is too weak, and now his influence has penetrated into the two rivers, Huguang and Shanghai have no influence, and Guangdong is even more out of reach, and Shandong and Northeast China are even more inaccessible.

This is only the first problem, and the second problem is what if the Japanese industry in China is seized and causes panic in other countries. The collective intervention of the great powers was to give Yuan Shikai eight dares, and he did not dare to do it, he was not Cixi in the end.

Therefore, we have to make the great powers understand that China is only aimed at Japan, or to make the great powers believe that China is only aimed at Japan, but these Western countries are all wolves, even if they understand, even if they believe, they still want to interfere, this is a group of unreasonable and unforgiving guys. I'm afraid that if Yuan Shikai robbed the Japanese here, the powers over there will come to the door and ask for a share.

Thinking left and right, I can't do this by myself, and the only thing I can do is Yang Chao.

Suddenly, Yuan Shikai discovered that Yang Chao was influential among foreigners, and he didn't know when he was much stronger than him.

One reason why Yuan Shikai was able to stay back then was that foreigners were protecting him, but now Yang Chao is much closer to foreigners than Yuan Shikai, which makes him have a sense of crisis.

Yang Chao not only has money, soldiers, and territory, but also has a close relationship with foreigners, this is indeed a big rival!

It may be a fierce rival in the future, but it can be used now.

"Only Yang Chao can do this matter, you go to Shandong to ask him, the matter was proposed by him, he must have an idea."

Yuan Shikai said to his son.

Yuan Keding came to Shandong again and told Yang Chao about his father's idea and his father's request.

"Don't worry about the attitude of the great powers. Shanghai, Shandong and Northeast China will be done by me, and after the completion of the matter, I will only need half of all the factories and mines. Jiangnan and Huguang should figure it out by themselves. Notify me when the time is up! But before, let's send a note to the Japanese, the wording doesn't matter, the Japanese won't take it seriously, and then we can do it. ”

Soon after, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China sent a sternly worded note to the Japanese, urging them not to be obsessed, disregard public international law, and wantonly invade China's territory, which will cause irreparable harm to China and Japan.

The Japanese refused again, saying that it was the land they ceded from the Russians, and it had nothing to do with China, and the two countries had a lot of quarrels.

Yuan Shikai is still very good at doing this kind of conspiracy, directing Lu Zhengxiang to grind his lips with the Japanese, and the heat is just right, so that the international community can see that the Chinese and Japan are engaged in another round of diplomatic struggle.

After a month of noisy noise, Yuan Shikai informed Yang Chao that he was ready, and on December 12, everyone started together.

Yang Chao had already been prepared, and of course his strength did not need to be prepared, because the army was always well-organized and well-trained, and he could act at any time when he gave an order.

Three days in advance, Yang Chao sent the military operation to Wu Peifu and other officers to prepare, and these officers began to draw capable troops, and only told the officers who carried out the operation a day in advance.

On the morning of December 12, before the morning market in Shanghai had begun, and a large number of banks and shops had not yet opened, a group of military and police officers set off with loaded guns and ammunition, and they went straight to Hongkou, sealed up all the Japanese courtyards and tobacco houses, drove the Japanese out, and ordered them to leave China within a time limit.

There are still a lot of Japanese in Shanghai, and they generally run small businesses in Hongkou and open Jiyuan to make a living, and there are 5,000 or 6,000 overseas Japanese in the Shanghai Public Concession, which is the largest number of former citizens among all countries.

At the same time, Yantai, Qingdao, Dongying, and all Japanese shops were also seized, and expulsion orders were issued to the bosses, telling them to leave China within a time limit, otherwise they would be arrested.

The same is true in the Northeast, from Harbin to Lushun, hundreds of shops opened by the Japanese have been seized in recent years.

But the largest is the Japanese in Shanghai, Suzhou opened a factory, the Japanese in recent years the raw silk industry developed, more and more inseparable from China's silkworm cocoon, their domestic high-grade silk, all to Chinese raw silk to produce, but also Chinese raw silk sold to France, the annual amount of foreign exchange earned is considerable.

Shanghai's is still the Shanghai military police to seal up.

After the two rivers were captured by Yuan Shikai, he put his general Feng Guozhang in Jiangsu as an overseer, and Feng Guozhang was the second person under Duan Qirui, and there were still a group of people who could fight.

Taking advantage of the fact that the factory had not yet started, these people immediately entered the factory, drove everyone inside, and then sealed the factory door, did not allow anyone to enter or leave, locked the safe in the factory account room and took it away, and then sent people to guard the place and did not allow the Japanese to enter.

Due to the need for secrecy, Yang Chao did not communicate with the foreigners before the operation, and when the action was over, the Japanese sent a note to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and began to take diplomatic measures.

Yang Chao personally secretly met with the ministers of various countries and informed them that this move was only aimed at Japan's unreasonable occupation of Chinese territory, and that as long as the Japanese could reflect on themselves and return Chinese territory to China, the government of the Republic of China would still return the property of the Japanese to them.

At the same time, he strongly stated that if the Japanese choose force, China will definitely not be afraid of war!

As soon as the operation began, China and Japan were put in a situation of war, and it seemed that there was no other option than World War I. (To be continued.) )
