Liaoyang.

This small city has completely become the base of the Praetorian Guard's military station, and the entire northern part of Mukden, and even the two places in Jihei, food, supplies, and all the arms that can be looted are all transferred here. The cavalry of the Praetorian Guard has been sent directly to the Siping area, the Canglong army flag is everywhere, and the flagmen who originally implemented the local administration in various places have tied their hands, Xu Yifan swept through the northeast like a storm and thunder, and when people are not used to it, the first reaction to this kind of strongman is to obey. As for what the future holds, that's another story.

In fact, just the amount of local materials found in the Northeast is enough to make people amazing. Since the beginning of the Strong Westernization Movement, China has only ranked first in the international arms market in terms of purchases, and has lagged far behind in second place. Western observers once marveled that China's rifle stock far exceeded that of the German Empire, which had the largest standing army in Europe. For example, in the sixth year of Guangxu, the governor of Shandong once ordered 45,000 rifles from the German foreign firm, each with 1,000 round-headed bullets. For example, in Xu Yifan's time and space, seventeen years later, in the Xinhai Revolution, the rebel army found tens of thousands of rifles, Green guns, and Norden flying cannons purchased by Li Jingxi, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, in the border land of Yunnan.

At that time, the Chinese elites recognized that the foreigners were bullying me with strong ships and cannons, and these elites began to work hard in this regard. Besides, the more arms you buy, the more reimbursements you have, and the more rebates you have......

After these arms were bought, they hoarded them everywhere, and later, no one could figure out how many of these things there were, anyway, they changed to a governor, and they wanted to refresh the military and government, and buy another batch of arms. Except for Li Hongzhang and a few other senior officials who still know how to use these weapons, most of the others are locked in the warehouse, and they even forget that they have these things.

The northeast is an important place to face Russia, especially to guard against Lao Maozi in the north. The Aihui Treaty was just a few decades ago, and more than 600,000 square kilometers of land were lost. Lao Maozi is more ferocious than Yingyi Fayi, and the old people in the Northeast still remember it. At that time, the floating corpse floating down from the Heilongjiang River, Lao Maozi, killed the inhabitants of that land cleanly!

For the land of Longxing, the arms and materials sent by the imperial court have never been less, and most of them are infantry weapons, which are sent every year and every month. It's piled up, but few people pay attention to this stubble. Since the First Sino-Japanese War, it is necessary to organize field battalions such as the Jilin Training Army and the Shengzi Training Army, as well as local defense camps, and open a few warehouses in a chaotic manner, and immediately arm them. How much is left, no one cares about checking, anyway, there will be another request from Kannai.

The Praetorian Guards crossed the border this time, and Xu Yifan's instructions to the military station service were to make the best use of the local military resources in the northeast. Chu Wanli sat in Liaoyang, and unceremoniously sent people everywhere to loot. As a result, the result of the Praetorian Guard was that in the warehouses that the local magistrates had forgotten, there was a mountain of military resources! From the old-fashioned front-loading rifle, to the needle breech gun, the Remington gun, the Winchester repeating gun, and then to the latest leaky fast gun, it is almost possible to open a firearms museum, which completely records the history of modern firearms. Other ammunition and military uniforms are also innumerable -- in Xu Yifan's time and space, six years later, when the Russian Lao Maozi occupied the entire northeast on a large scale, there were more than 200,000 rifles in some of the weapons captured! By the time of the Russo-Russian War, part of the Russian army was lost, and it was replenished from these materials!

These weapons and materials have been damaged a lot due to poor storage, but the rest is enough to support the army to fight for a long time, and several generals in the northeast are still sending telegrams to the center, complaining that there is a lack of military resources and asking for rapid replenishment!

All the materials looted by the Praetorian Guards were continuously transported to Liaoyang and then forwarded to the front line. Northeast China is also rich in grain production, and there is no need to worry about military food. The resulting situation is that Liaoyang has completely turned into a military station base, with a long queue of people coming and going every day, and the sorghum fields around Liaoyang for dozens of miles have been trampled into flat ground. Originally, the Janissary General Staff's assumption that the general staff of the Janissary Army would supply the Liaonan Fighting Army from Korea was also happily overturned. Except for a small amount of ammunition for new artillery, the rest can basically be solved on the spot.

-- But in this case, the mere lack of military resources was enough to support the Janissaries to win a complete victory in this war, and to defeat all enemies, whether from within or without?

Or, this biggest enemy may be in the heart of the supreme commander of the Praetorian Guard, the world-famous Xu Yifan?

Chu Wanli stood by the Prince River, looking at the ant-nest-like Liaoyang City with his hands behind his back. has always been more smug than Xu Yifan's face, but at this time it is as quiet as water.

The armies of southern Liaoning were in turmoil, but Xu Yifan forcibly promoted the news of the battle in southern Liaoning, and naturally spread to him. The main force of the Liaoyang Praetorian Guard has long established contact with the Jinzhou frontline.

If it is said that when Xu Yifan shouted that the world will descend and he will not surrender alone, in just a few days, he has become the center of the world's admiration, rolling up the great tide of this land. Then after Guangxu was reset, he found that as the tide gradually quieted down, only Xu Yifan and his Praetorian Guards stood alone at the top.

It's too cold to be in high places......

"Here, it's not Chen Qiao'......"

Chu Wanli put his hands behind his back and muttered. The guards around him thought that Chu Wanli had given some order, so they quickly pricked up their ears and straightened up, and their eyes also turned away. But seeing these strange Chu Wanli's eyes, they were very far away. The guard's posture remained unchanged, and he just looked at Chu Wanli blankly. In these days, the most important thing Lord Chu did was to be in a daze on the side of the Taizi River, and sometimes it would take half a day to pick up stones and hit the water. If it weren't for the ability of the staff officers below, there would be a joke here.

The guard thought of something, and suddenly shuddered, and quickly stood up twice as straight. It's a little strange right now. Unlike when I was in North Korea, everyone just wanted to fight devils, and when they returned to the domestic borders, things were a little evil. Many officers looked at each other, and there was an inexplicable atmosphere. There are even some rumors that everyone only dares to listen to, and then hide them in their hearts.

“…… I heard that the marshal is clearly marching to Lushun Jinzhou, but he is actually preparing to turn south and enter Yanjing City? ”

Change the dynasty and be a hero of the dragon, there is nothing to say. Since Xu Dashuai marched with the big guys and took the lead in charging the devil's position, his life was sold to the Xu family. The court is so cowardly, and the handsome man is such a hero, the emperor takes turns to do it, and it is impossible to say who should do it. Although many brothers did not say anything, they looked at the look in their eyes, and they were so hot that they almost burst into flames.

…… But while the devil is still there? Commander, didn't you say that this was a national war? In order not to be a slave of the dead country in your mouth, not like the Poles who destroyed the country, the aisle can only walk in the middle of the road, and is guarded by the thief who was born by Lao Maozi. In order to be worthy of his ancestors, he fought to the death like this, and he gave up everything. In order to show the guys who pulled their hind legs and fired horizontal cannons inside, who was a five-foot man, and who didn't care about anything for this country, everyone was so willing to move towards death...... If you return to the capital at this time, what is the difference between you and them? But on the other hand, it's such a big temptation......

The guards are the children of Jizhong, and the word is that they only know more than 100 people when they arrive in the Praetorian Guard, and they don't understand this big truth. In the end, he simply shook his head: "...... Anyway, Xu Dashuai will not do anything to be sorry for this country, we believe in our Dashuai! For other things, wherever the Canglong Banner is pointing, it will rush to......"

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

A few Goshha pressed Iktanga into the muddy water, and the sky thundered at this time, and the lightning slashed, making everyone's expressions look solemn, and on the muddy official road, thousands of Jilin training troops almost let out a loud uproar in unison, but no one dared to take a step forward!

Li Yunzong stood beside Xu Yifan, at this time, he was not calm, he didn't look at Yiketang, his eyes were brighter and sharper than the lightning in the sky, he just looked at Xu Yifan deadly!

Xu Yifan raised his hand and stood it in the air. He was the minister of the Qincha and the supreme commander of southern Liaoning. The governor of Liangjiang, the imperial court did not let him hand over the position of general Fengtian within a time limit, and the civil and military power was integrated. At this time, the slaughter of Iktanga is just killing people like grass and not listening.

And then what?

Then the Jilin training army was disbanded, with the Praetorian Guard as the main force, and the southern Liaoning armies -- this was almost the last main force in the field of northern China. When he returned to the capital, he was not worried that no one would follow. From Long Xingjin's generation, there are all of them, not to mention that what he wants to coerce is just a group of martial artists. When he returned to the capital, he was more than eighty percent sure that he could succeed.

And then what? After the collapse of the central authority, the local forces, which had long been centrifuged, naturally fell apart. Everyone is looking for their own backers, and those who have already stepped into the country are mixed in, and everyone enters the era of warlord melee early. What he is one step ahead of these local forces is that he already has a strong army in his hands, which is enough to dominate the world. He could have escaped from such a treacherous environment, and he was afraid that he had already learned about the local officials in his bones? Even if you can't set the world, one of the princes can't run, it's better than under the pressure of this wind, frost and sword, to save the national fortune of this hundred years with the power of one person!

All eyes were on his raised hand. The heavy rain that connected the earth and the sky seemed to freeze in mid-air.

I really wish I was a dark protagonist......

In the end, Xu Yifan just smiled bitterly. This Qing Dynasty has not yet taken the last step...... He also didn't know if this Daqing would step out of this last step under the instigation of his butterfly wings. At least...... They also have men like Iqtanga. The most important thing is that this is not the different Jiawu he wants. So much for.

He slowly lowered his hand and slowly walked over to the Goshkha who were frozen there. Waved his hand to let the Goshkha goshka go, and then helped Iktanga up with his own hands.

This Manchurian general was already covered in mud and water, and his face was full of mud, and he looked at Xu Yifan's actions in amazement.

Xu Yifan pulled up Yiketanga and said with a wry smile: "Yaoshan, I'm Qincha, and you don't give me face." ”

Iktanga still didn't speak, and he didn't know what to say at this time. Xu Yifan turned his head to look at the distance covered with rain, looked at the thousands of soldiers standing in the rain, and chuckled: "Great rivers and mountains......"

He turned his head and looked at Iktanga seriously: "Yaoshan, I know what you guys are thinking...... Zeng Wenzhenggong came to my point back then, and countless people in history have also come to my step. Wen Zhenggong retreated, he is not a rebellious minister and thief of the Aixin Jueluo family...... I also take a step back, I am also not a rebel and thief of this country! It is this belief that has sustained me to this point, and also supported the Praetorian Guard to fight in the world. I'll take a step back and see how you guys do it! In the last days, someone has to clean up this country! ”

As a courtier to say such things, it is a great rebellion to the extreme. It's just that only Xu Yifan said it, but Yi Ketanga felt relieved, didn't he say that the court and the whole world wouldn't think of him like this? In the whole world, he is the only one who is qualified to say this.

“…… General Mukden, I guarantee you to take over. As soon as the battle is over, I will go to Liangjiang. Far away from Yanjing City. I also know that there is nothing you can do with me now, so everyone will be fine. There's only one thing right now......"

Xu Yifan's fierce halberd pointed into the distance: "...... Where are the tens of thousands of devils, countless people have been defeated in this national war, now I will take you to rush up and drive these guys out! We are not for the world of one surname and one family, but for this land and the people of this land! Didn't you flag people also grow on this land? I have said these things in Nanyang, in Korea, here in Liaonan, I still say this! That's all I have done in this war! ”

After that, he had already pushed away Goshha who was blocking him and strode towards the bottom of the hill, Chen De wanted to stop him, but was kicked away by Xu Yifan. Thousands of people watched Xu Yifan in a daze until he walked into the queue of Jilin army training, and only Li Yunzong strode behind him.

Xu Yifan threw off his military hat, held the wheel of a gun truck, and raised his arms and shouted: "It's a good man, drive the devil out with me!" The national war and even the act of the yang, what are you doing with sad faces? The emperor and queen of heaven are on the top, from now on, Lao Tzu will not enter Yanjing City for half a step! ”

After that, he lay down half of his body, and pushed the gun carriage with all his strength, and the surrounding Jilin training officers and soldiers all looked at Xu Yifan's actions blankly, and for a while, only Li Yunzong followed, shoulder to shoulder, and worked hard with him.

Pu Yangfei also rushed over, and he didn't know whether it was tears or rain on his face, so he shouted with a crying voice: "Handsome ......"

He had already made up his mind to give Xu Yifan his life to death, and Xu Yifan acted and spoke, and he never avoided this Belle Master. As for the rumors of Xu Yifan's ambition, he has long listened to it. There are a lot of discussions about his identity, and Pu Yang always thinks: "Anyway, the Aixin Jueluo family has never seen me as a bastard, so we should remove the name of the genealogy." Lao Tzu followed Dashuai to do things that stood up to the sky, what is there to be ashamed of? He was determined to be the son of the Xinjueluo family, but now when he heard Xu Yifan vow not to enter Yanjing City for half a step in the future, he still couldn't help but feel hot in his heart.

We are handsome, and we are really the best men in the world!

Pu Yang pounced, and Chen De also pounced. Goshha, the officers and soldiers of the Praetorian Guard all followed, and those who ran in front crowded around Xu Yifan and pushed the artillery cart with him. And Iktanga also slowly followed, took the horsewhip that was there and drove it, and whipped it hard on the butt of the healthy horse of the towing cart. The horse neighed, strode with its head held high, and with a boom, the heavy gun carriage rolled out of the quagmire and moved forward. Only then did the surrounding Jilin training officers and soldiers react and continued to march with loud shouts. Yi Ketanga never glanced at Xu Yifan, one was in front of him, and the other was pushing behind.

"Dashuai, are you really not going to enter Yanjing City from now on?"

In the midst of the crowd's shouting, Li Yunzong asked Xu Yifan, who was grinning hard, with his teeth bared in a low voice. Xu Yifan glanced around sneakly, and replied in a lower voice than him: "Are you stupid?" If I don't go, can't I send you? If you don't say that, can they go to war with us with peace of mind? Get ready, we really have to go to Gangnam! ”

Li Yunzong, who has always been cold-hearted and cold-faced, twitched the corners of his mouth in the heavy rain, but his head lowered in an instant. In all the biographies about this general in the future, it is still recorded that Li Yunzong has never laughed. Only Xu Yifan remembered that in that heavy rain, Li Yunzong once smiled evilly like Chu Wanli, who was never a good bird.

On October 3, the fourth year of A.D., Xu Yifan played the capital, and Bao Yike Tanga was the general of Fengtian, so that the people and the land were suitable in wartime. And told the world that when all the people withdrew from the country, it was said that he took over the two rivers. This is tantamount to telling the world that he will fight this national war to the end! And the Praetorian Guard will never go south, only north!
