The tall and mountain-like warship is moored at the port of Temple Street, symbolizing the five-color military flag of the commonality, waving in the wind. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info stationed here, is most of the Shandong Navy's belongings. It includes all the steam warships belonging to the Shandong Navy, as well as the steam merchant ships and passenger ships hired from Albiang, plus a small number of well-functioning sail warships in the Shandong River Defense Fleet. Due to the limited naval strength of a province, some of the sail warships under the management of the Admiralty of the Republic also went to the battle.

However, compared with the situation of the Shandong Navy, the situation of these warships of the Admiralty is not optimistic. The joint navy is out of Fujian, and the blood of Fujian is flowing in the blood of the entire navy. With Emperor Sun issuing a telegram in Guangdong, he sent a telegram to Feng to beg for it. A large number of navies supported the new construction of sail warships, and more than two-thirds of them rebelled.

Those who continue to be loyal to Beiyang are all grandfather-class antique warships, and it is a fluke to be able to sail from Jinmen to Heilongjiang, and as for the battle, it cannot be counted on at all. In addition, it also includes a water police investigation team in the northeast, as well as a water rescue group formed by businessmen from all over the world, and a patchwork of water troops, which constitute the entire joint intervention fleet.

But in any case, these warships still look very majestic. Although those cannons may not all be fired, they are enough to comfort the hearts of the common people.

After the Gonghe Zhengfu participated in the declaration of war against Prussia, Xu Youzheng formulated a plan to recover sovereignty abroad. Including, sending troops to Rouran to the outside world, and using force to force the prince of Rouran to submit to the republic and give up self-control. At the same time, it intervened militarily in Tiele to protect the Chinese diaspora in Tieler.

Temple Street was originally Chinese territory, but in the pre-Jin era, it was forcibly seized by an adventurer of Tiele, and the people who had lived here for generations became expatriates. In the surrounding villages and county seats, there are many similar situations. The civil war in Tiele became more and more intense, and no one cared about the personal safety of these Chinese people, and if the Gonghe Zhengfu did not come forward, most of them would not end well.

Feng Yuzhang was very dissatisfied with Xu Youzheng, and after being elected president, he pressed Xu Youzheng to sign the letter of appointment, that is, he was not allowed to re-serve as secretary general. In order to separate Duan Zhiquan's spiritual flesh, Feng Yuzhang simply borrowed Xu Youzheng's suggestion to set up an organization called the War Division. With Xu Youzheng as the co-organizer of the War Division, he was specifically responsible for foreign affairs, which actually deprived him of the right to participate in internal affairs.

Xu Youzheng is a person who is not willing to be lonely, and in this position, he quickly came up with a plan. First, organize and train the army to participate in the war. Units of various sizes are transferred from the provinces of the Communist Party of China, and they are uniformly managed by the Participating Combat Office for training and use as future combat units. In addition, young men were recruited from Shandong and Hebei provinces and trained as a new army. The initial size of the participating army was set at eight divisions, and its main battlefield areas included the Wairouran and Taixi fronts.

He has a great appetite, and not only the First Cavalry Brigade under the First Cavalry Division was transferred to Shandong, but also the division commander Sun Meiyao and the deputy division commander Sun Feibao are all on his transfer list. According to Xu Youzheng, since they are all communist soldiers, they should be under the command of the War Department, no matter whose aunt she is or what other relationship. Soldiers put the country first and the family second, and everything should be based on the overall situation of maintaining the integrity of the territory. Regarding this paper order, Zhao Guanhou replied with only two words: hehe.

Second, in order to take into account the need to go to Taixi to fight, it was proposed that all the provincial navies should be placed under the management of the Admiralty. The warships stationed in each province shall be disrupted and reorganized by the Admiralty. The four steam warships in Shandong were organized into the Second Fleet of the Combined Navy, and the Admiralty selected cadres who had returned from overseas to serve as captains and sailed to Tianjin to prepare for war.

The content of Zhao Guanhou's reply is also very simple: the four warships are either purchased or leased. The buyer's price was not requested, and the tenant's rent was not paid. During his service in Shandong, he owed the merchants a lot of fuel and maintenance costs. The total of the subsets of the items is 1.7 million yuan. I hope that Zhongyang will make up the arrears first, and then talk about others.

After refuting Xiao Xu's two plans in a row, Zhao Guanhou also made concessions, although the First Cavalry Division and the Navy were unwilling to return to the command of Zhengfu, but they were also willing to do something for Zhengfu, that is, to protect Chinese nationals outside the Guan.

This time, Shandong dispatched its own navy, as well as the Third Division of the Provincial Army and the New Fourth Division of the Provincial Army that went to Tianzhu for the battle. These two divisions have experience in overseas operations and have performed well in battle, and are capable of taking on great responsibilities. And leaving the basic troops at home for defense also prevents anyone from taking the opportunity to do any more tricks.

Xu Youzheng took a cavalry division and three infantry divisions drawn from the northwest and entered Wairouran in a high-profile manner. At the same time, he played the names of Chaoyong King Nayantu and Yuqing, and surrendered some princes.

These princes lost the support of Tiele and Fuso, had no source of arms, and their equipment was very poor. Seeing the heavily armed Beiyang Army, he regarded it as a heavenly soldier and a general, and he didn't dare to fight, plus Zhao Guanhou defeated Taoke Taohai in a battle, and his reputation was too loud. These princes did not dare to fight with the Beiyang soldiers, and they came to surrender one after another, and the little fan was like a flying general, and he was majestic on the grassland for a while.

Zhao Guanhou personally came to Guanwai once, and it was not without action, but this kind of action is not enough for outsiders. Zhang Yuting, the general of Fengtian, originally had a strong relationship with the overseers of Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces, and there was Feng Linge, a fellow citizen of the green forest, who was eyeing him and always wanted to swallow his troops, and his situation was not good.

Since Zhao entered the Northeast, this situation has suddenly changed. Based on the friendship of the worship, plus the oath of the Governor's Legion, Zhao Jun openly supported Zhang Yuting. First, Feng Linge was resolved by force, and then the Fengtian Alliance was promoted. On the surface, it is only that the three provinces are more united, but in fact, it is a pattern of Fengzhang's monopoly.

Now, the entire Guanwai has become Zhang Yuting's one-man world, and he has reciprocated the peach, and he has also fully assisted Zhao Guanhou's military operations. In addition to sending a small number of Northeast Water Police to investigate and help, a cavalry division of the Feng Army, relying on the familiarity of people and land, set fire to houses in the surrounding area, and drove Chinese residents to Temple Street to prepare for the evacuation of overseas Chinese.

The area of Temple Street is currently under the control of Kolchak and his renegade navy, and because of Anna's connections, these troops are very face-saving for the Lu army. Outside the camp of the Lu army, there was an endless stream of generals and nobles who came to worship, including Kolchak himself, who also came every day to pay homage to Princess Anna. Anna could only greet the worship of one minister after another like a little adult, cheer them up, make promises of knighthood, and then watch those people withdraw gratefully.

Decembrists, a princess is needed!

Although they were supported by force, they lacked a leader of sufficient weight and could not concentrate their forces. Among the Decembrists, there were some big men, but they were not compatible with each other. Only Princess Anna, the bloodline of the previous king, can connect everyone.

But under the education of Zhao Guanhou, the princess's nature was liberated, and she behaved more and more like a child, not like a princess. She lacks the slightest interest in military affairs and integrity. On the contrary, he was running around and laughing loudly in the mountains. Turned the snow into a snowball and threw it at Zhao Guanhou, who then stuffed the snow into her neck for fun.

The two people, one big and one small, attacked each other with snowballs, and finally got a smile on her face, and hung on the master like a koala, all the way back to Temple Street.

But as soon as she arrived at the headquarters, her mood became depressed again. At the headquarters, there were already a large number of meticulous nobles dressed neatly dressed and with combed hair and beards waiting to be seen. It was her duty to wipe the snow off her body and meet the generals with proper makeup.

These were either supporters of the Decembrists, or powerful men who were disillusioned with the Tsar and determined to raise the banner of rebellion. In short, everyone is the hope of the rejuvenation of the empire and the pillar of the future of the empire. As a Ming Jun, you must be kind to everyone, you must be polite and virtuous, and you must ......

"Master, I'm so tired, what should I do?" Anna, who finally finished the interview, took off the palace clothes, changed back into a short training uniform, pulled two shoes, and ran to the master's room to complain.

Accompanying Zhao Guanhou to the northeast were Yuqing, Cuiyu and Cheng Yue. Tonight, it's the day of jade. This former secretary general from Jinbada Hutong is a first-class expert in terms of observation and appearance. Seeing Anna's expression, he smiled and said:

"What, don't you want to be a princess anymore? I remember when you first arrived in Shandong, you were single-minded and learned to be a qualified king, why now, like Xiaoci and them, you have become a little crazy girl? ”

"Master...... Anna dragged in a long voice, shaking Jade's arm, "I do want to be a qualified king, but ...... The weight of the crown is too heavy, and I'm still a child. For the first time, I knew that when I became a king, I had to meet so many ministers. Even though Master taught me how to memorize quickly, I couldn't remember their names, and I didn't have the slightest interest in their topics. ”

"Power, wealth, status. Their topic can be summed up in these few words. Others hope that their young and handsome heirs will be honored to become the future prince of King Tiele. Zhao Guanhou sneered, "The so-called loyalty is just business." It's so small, it's really hard for you to deal with these big guys. In fact, this is my responsibility, so far, I have only taught you how to live, not how to be a good leader. Because, I don't want you to be so small that you take on too heavy a burden. If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight, and this weight may not be something you can afford. Go, put on a thick coat, and Master will take you out for a walk. ”

The barracks are neat and solemn, with sentinels patrolling back and forth, and the lights on the streets seem to be two worlds. The garrison patrolled the streets, and the sound of knocking on wooden sticks drifted to the camp with the sound of the wind.

In the distance, there is a huge fleet of the Tielers. Now more than 70 percent of the navy has chosen to side with the Decembrists. Kolchak has the strength at hand, and he already has the qualifications of a prince. Wearing a white fox fur shirt and pants, and a white fox fur ear hat, like a big rabbit, Anna followed closely behind Zhao Guanhou. Looking at the lights in the distance, I knew that it was a bonfire lit by the refugees' temporary residence. With the wind, it seems that you can hear their cries and complaints. She sniffled vigorously.

"Master, am I too willful?"

"Girl, I haven't scolded you yet, why did you admit your mistake yourself. The last time you beat up Jingci Ping Pong, when I spoke for him, you also threatened him, saying that the next time you dare to tell your parents, you will set fire to his P shares. That's my apprentice's style, and it's not like you now. ”

"No...... I know what you mean, you're asking me to see these suffering Chinese people outside. If it weren't for my country, they wouldn't have used it like this. These lands belong to your country, and these inhabitants, they are the masters here. But now, they are moving out of their homes, and that's not fair. If I become the king, these lands can be returned to the Master, and they don't have to be wanderers. I...... I should take my responsibility. ”

"And what are you going to do?"

"I want to learn from Master and learn how to be a good king. Who to woo, who to trust, who to guard, who to get rid of. Learn to be fair, calm and let go of feelings. Find the most suitable force to marry, and use the power of his family to help me restore the throne...... In the history of my country, I will be a great monarch like Catherine the Great. ”

"And then? Are you really happy like that? Zhao Guanhou looked at his little apprentice and stretched out his hand to flick her forehead.

"Be a clever little girl. I teach you things because I want you to inherit my mantle, not to ask you to repay me for anything. Do you think you can really do what you promised me? The king, who is nothing more than the leader of the alliance of interests, does not do whatever he wants. Besides, I don't know when I'm going to leave the Commonwealth, and it doesn't make sense for you to give it back to me, and it's okay to give it back to other people in this country, are you guilty of it? The purpose of bringing you out is not to think of that nonsense, but to let you decide for yourself. It is to stay in the barracks and accept the worship of the soldiers, but also to trap yourself in this square inch. I still want to get out of here and be a free person. Power, status, freedom, happiness, which do you want? With your master's wealth, even if you are a little bastard like my family Jingci, you can have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. So you don't have to be like those people out there who need to think about making a living. This is where you are luckier than them, you have the ability to choose your own life, they don't. If you have this opportunity, don't waste it, no matter what you decide, Master will support you. ”

"I ...... Can I really decide for myself? Anna timidly asked, "I mean, a lot of people died to protect me." If I choose to give up, their sacrifice ......"

"Whether it's the sacrifice of the guards or the sacrifice of your family, I hope you can live and live happily. As for hatred, it's not that you don't want to repay it, but you don't need to be wronged to repay it. Now Tieler's situation is like sitting on the crater of a volcano, and if the volcano erupts, the Tsar will be crushed. Most of the things I teach you will not be used, and if you don't need to do it, he and his family will die and never die again. So, you don't have to be obsessed with revenge, your revenge will be done for you. ”

"But, Commander Kolchak...... And those aristocrats. ”

Zhao Guanhou suddenly squatted down and carried Anna on his back, "Little girl, it's time to go to bed, if you don't sleep when the time comes, the good boy will play P shares." Children of your age should sleep in peace, dream, and other things, all of which Master will take care of for you, and I will do everything.

Anna closed her eyes on Master's back, and by the time she returned to her bedroom, she had fallen asleep peacefully. In a dream, a sweet smile flashed up, and the sadness was gone.
