Song Xiaofei proposed that Japan unconditionally withdraw its troops from Korea, compensate China for military expenditures of 50 million taels of silver, and cede the ports of Nagasaki and Maguan to China, and open Tokyo, Kobe, Yokohama, and other treaty ports.

Britain had also sent four warships to cruise in the Yellow Sea at this time, but at this time, Britain was mainly interested in deterring the Russians from going south, and Japan invaded Korea and went to Yunnan to sabotage, violating international law, so Wilsou turned his head and pretended to enjoy the beautiful sea view of the long-term port.

Song Xiaofei figured out the British's hole cards through the British envoy to China, Zhu Erdian, and knew that Britain was more than enough to deal with Russia, and now only China was left to deal with Japan, so he did not make concessions at the negotiating table, and Mutsu Munemitsu was very annoyed, and telegraphed to Yama Prefecture Youtomo, asking the Japanese Army to give the Chinese a little color in the Korean battlefield.

It's a pity that the situation of Youpeng in Shanxian County is not good at this time, Duan Qirui's 20,000 new troops in the recovery of Andong and Jiuliancheng, continue to go north, enter the territory of Korea to attack the Japanese army, Tang Shaoyi led 10,000 new troops to resist desperately, the Japanese army suffered from the enemy, and for a while could not take the entire Seoul, so the second set of combat plans was launched, and the 30,000 Japanese troops led by friends in Shanxian County advanced to Shanhaiguan and attacked Manchukuo.

Song Xiaofei saw that there were friends in Shanxian Province attacking Manchuria, and knew that the crisis in Korea was lifted, the goal of "encircling Wei and saving Zhao" had been achieved, and the opportunity for the Chinese New Army and the Japanese Army to fight to the death and recover the three northeastern provinces had come! Therefore, he ordered the "Dingyuan" and "Zhenyuan" warships to bombard Tokyo in the port of Tokyo, and China officially declared war on Japan. Japan couldn't bear it anymore at this time. At the same time declare war on China! Britain and Russia balanced each other and both declared neutrality.

Song Xiaofei considered that it was still necessary to give priority to the great cause of China's reunification. So after bombarding Nagasaki and Tokyo, he returned to Weihai to take command.

At Shanhaiguan, although the Manchus still had an army of 20,000 people, they were crushed at the first touch in the face of the murderous Japanese army. A friend of Shan County led 30,000 Japanese troops into Shanhaiguan and launched an attack on the Qing army.

Fengtian is Shengjing, that is, today's Shenyang, after the Qing court moved the capital to Beijing, Shengjing was the capital to stay, and the minister was placed in the interior, guarded by the general Fengtian, and Prince Gong fled from Xi'an to Shengjing with the emperor. It is still the capital of Manchukuo.

After the Japanese came over, Prince Gong personally put on armor and went into battle, but at this time, the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners Army was still at the level of the late Ming Dynasty. The Mongolian iron cavalry that rushed to support was also blown up by the Japanese army. The Japanese army occupied Jinzhou Mansion, Changchun Mansion and Yingkou all the way, and formed a siege of Shengjing in less than a month and broke through the Manchu capital. Prince Gong died in battle, Duan Fang took the last emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to set fire to **, burned down the palace and martyred the country, and ordered people to burn most of the Shengjing City, and countless Manchus fled to Guannai, leaving the Japanese with an empty city. The Manchu Qing Dynasty is dead!

At the same time, winter has come, and the temperature has reached minus seven or eight degrees Celsius in the entire northeast. Song Xiaofei ordered Nie Shicheng to raise 50,000 troops, and then recruit 50,000 troops from all over the country, a total of 100,000 troops, to defend Shanhaiguan, and the Beiyang Naval Division blockaded the entire Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea, and raised 60,000 new troops to enter Shanhaiguan.

On that day, a meeting was held in the camp tent, and Song Xiaofei and Duan Qirui, Wang Shizhen, Feng Guozhang, Cao Kun and other generals of the New Army discussed the battle plan for attacking the Japanese army, and a map of Manchuria hung in the middle of the big tent. At that time, there were two options, one was to directly drive the main force to Shengjing and fight a decisive battle with the Japanese, and the other was to take Jinzhou Mansion, Changchun Mansion and Yingkou first, and then encircle Shengjing.

Duan Qirui said, "Our army is twice as strong as Japan, and we can go to Shengjing to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army, and we can fight a quick victory." ”

Wang Shizhen disagreed, saying: "Although it is possible to win a frontal attack on our army, our army will also have a lot of casualties." Now that winter is coming, the severe cold has become the biggest enemy of the Japanese army, and I heard that hundreds of Japanese soldiers are now freezing to death every day, and many of the military doctors and nurses accompanying the army have not frozen to death. We should attack Changchun Mansion, Yingkou Mansion and Jinzhou Mansion first, and then fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army. ”

Song Xiaofei carefully checked the map, nodded, expressed agreement with Wang Shizhen's plan, and said: "My opinion, first take Jinzhou Mansion, close the road for the Japanese army to escape from the Guanwai, form a posture of closing the gate and fighting dogs, and then attack Changchun Mansion and Yingkou, and then encircle Shengjing, only encircle but not fight, and drag the Japanese army to death." ”

Feng Guozhang said: "It takes a long distance to hit Jinzhou Mansion, and if there are difficulties, we should hit Changchun Mansion first."

Song Xiaofei shook his head and said: "Changchun Mansion is adjacent to Shengjing, and the Japanese army must be heavily guarded. We just want to take Jinzhou by surprise and cut off the retreat of the Japanese army. The land route is too far, and when the time comes, let the Beiyang warships transport it. After taking Jinzhou, the Japanese army was closed in the northeast and fell into isolation, from which there was no escape. ”

Duan Qirui, Wang Shizhen, Feng Guozhang, and Cao Kun felt that Song Xiaofei's analysis was reasonable, so the generals formed a unified strategic consciousness, and Feng Guozhang led 5,000 troops to suddenly attack Jinzhou from the waterway. The 2,000 Japanese troops in Jinzhou were not prepared, first by the Beiyang Fleet's "Zhenyuan" bombardment, the city wall collapsed, and was quickly defeated, Feng Guozhang took 5,000 recruits, and conquered the south bank fortress temporarily built by the Japanese army in half a day, and won the first battle, the Japanese army killed more than 700 people, wounded 152 people, and the rest fled to Changchun. Our army suffered 54 casualties, recaptured Jinzhou Prefecture, and cut off the retreat of the Japanese army. Then, China's new army conquered Changchun Province, Yingkou and other places, formed a joint encirclement of the Japanese army in Shengjing, and cut off the supply line of Japanese grain and grass.

Youpeng in Shanxian was very conceited at the beginning, and made a fatal mistake, he used to fight with Ye Zhichao's 60,000 coalition army, all the way to the ground, so he greatly underestimated the combat effectiveness of Song Xiaofei's new army, and he concentrated the remaining 20,000 Japanese troops in Shengjing, ready to fight Song Xiaofei to the death.

At this time, God also opened his eyes, helping the squadron, a once-in-a-century cold snap swept the northeast, the Japanese army frostbitten 129 people, the military doctors, hygienists, nurses and the Red Cross Society ambulance personnel also froze to death, Japanese soldiers in the cold weather, ten men and nine frostbite, can only rely on each other to warm up, unfortunately, there are too few female military doctors and female nurses in the army. wanted to catch the comfort women, but before the destruction of Shengjing City, Duanfang had ordered people to set fire to the palace and most of Shengjing City, and most of the Manchurians had fled to Guanzhong.

Song Xiaofei only surrounded and did not fight, did not fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army at all, waited for the Japanese army's fighting spirit to collapse, and ordered Duan Qirui's artillery to bombard as soon as the Japanese army left the city. Yama Prefecture Youpeng was quite desperate and sent a telegram to Saigo Congdao, asking for the navy and follow-up reinforcements, but the Beiyang Fleet had already blocked the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea at this time, and Saigo Congdao had to send a telegram back: "The frozen Bohai Bay and the biting cold wind are not suitable for naval landing operations, please be sure to hold out until next spring, and when the weather warms up, I will send another 30,000 Japanese troops to support." ”

When Youpeng received a call back from Xixiang Congdao, he couldn't help crying bitterly and scolded, "Baga, this is a bet on the lives of my 20,000 Japanese soldiers!" ”
