South Seas, Republic of Seris

"Führer! The Japanese envoy came again and asked for a meeting. ”

Waving his hand again at the secretary Huang Hanlin, Chen Zeyu continued to look at the documents in his hand without looking up.

"Go and tell Mr. Kuroda that we don't have to meet until Japan withdraws its troops from the mainland."

"Yes, Führer!" Huang Hanlin respectfully responded and walked out of the Führer's Office......

After reviewing the documents in his hand, Chen Zeyu stood up and stretched, "Ahhh ~”

Walking to the coffee table to make himself a cup of coffee, Chen Zeyu casually opened a page for the calendar, "It's April 5th."

"The troops who landed from Liaodong should have arrived at the Liaohe River......"

While talking to himself, Chen Zeyu walked alone to the giant world map hanging on the wall of the office office.

The index finger of the right hand gradually extends from Zhanjiang, Guangxi, below East Asia, and slowly crosses Guangdong... Fujian... Chekiang... Jiangsu... Shandong... Hebei, which eventually stopped in an area called Liaodong......

At noon on April 5, 1895, the Liaodong Peninsula of the Qing Dynasty

At this moment, a steady stream of troops was walking on the north bank of the Liao River, and a pair of soldiers in black uniforms were marching in a neat queue to the west.

They are the officers and men of the 8th Division of the Cyris Army, which just landed from Lushun half a month ago!

In the past two weeks, this force fought from Lushun to Yingkou and from Yingkou to Liaoyang, destroying all Qing troops along the way and some Japanese troops still stranded in the northeast. Just as they wanted to continue their attack on Shengjing in the north, they received a telegram from the General Staff of the Army in the rear, asking them to change the direction of their march and attack to the west.

Li Xiaoliang, the commander of the 801st Brigade, who was riding a Bohai horse, was a little idle, and urged his mount to trot directly to the marching headquarters at the rear of the team.

"Commander, where are we going?"

"I don't know how to look at the map, how did you learn it in the military academy in the first place?" Zhao Ke, the commander of the Eighth Division, replied angrily.

"Hey, I'm just guessing, is it Zhangjiakou?"

"I know, you still come to ask me~" Zhao Ke nodded, "I want us to cut off the retreat of those grandsons of Qingguo." ”

"What should I do in Jinzhou? If the Manchu royal family retreats from there, we are not blind. ”

Zhao Ke shook his head and sneered, "Turtle son, you are smart!" Don't worry, the Ninth Division has already landed in Bohai Bay! ”

"Don't talk about Jinzhou, even Shanhaiguan is about to be beaten down by us!"

Li Xiaoliang touched his short head with a smile, but forgot that he had already put the helmet on his head now.

"Hehe, aren't I worried that the troops won't be able to catch big fish? Division commander, have you heard that Ma Wenyu, who landed in Guangzhou, has arrested two feudal officials of the Qing State one after another. ”

"Alas, there's no need to worry about this, you can't catch the big fish when you get to the north? Haha" Zhao Ke glanced at the Bohai Seahorse under his crotch, "Your kid is lucky, damn!" It's not like I found a Mongolian horse in Lushun~ It's ugly to death, and it doesn't show the majesty of Lao Tzu at all. ”

"Haha, teacher, you don't understand," Li Xiaoliang grinned, "The Mongolian horse doesn't look good, but it has good endurance and is not a picky eater, you see if it has made you feel more careful along the way." ”

Zhao Ke glanced at him and scolded with a smile, "You kid doesn't have a backache when you stand and talk, why don't we change it?" Lao Zhang Ke and I have been coveting your snow-treading dark clouds for a long time! ”

"Don't! Other! I'm out of feelings......"

"You don't fucking fart, it's still your mother-in-law......

"Hahahaha-"

On April 15, 1895, at the same time that the 801st Brigade of the Republic Army conquered Zhangjiakou, the situation in Korea was gradually falling into chaos on the border of the East Asian continent.

Since receiving a request for help from the Donghak Party and the People's Army in the first month of the First Sino-Japanese War, the Republic of Seris has successively sent naval fleets to reinforce a batch of weapons and equipment to Jeon Zhun Zhun and them, and then sent the navy and army to capture Jeju Island, the stronghold of the Japanese army in the Yellow Sea. Beginning in February, the Republic Navy sent fleets to cruise the waters around Jeju Island, cutting off the sea supply lines of Japanese transport ships to the west coast of Korea, forcing the Japanese army to reopen supply bases from the east and south of Korea, which were not so suitable.

Even so, Seris's navy did not spare the Japanese, and by March, Seris had dispatched the most powerful First Detachment Fleet, which had been patrolling the waters of the East China Sea, to cut off Japan's shipping channels in the Korean Strait at once, and gradually extended the blockade of the Japanese transport fleet to the entire North Sea.

While these combination punches of the Seris people beat the Japanese country dizzy, the somewhat "sluggish" Donghak Party members in southwestern Korea, who had been wiped out by the Japanese garrison, gradually eased up. After receiving a batch of weapons and equipment and food from Seris on "credit", the Donghak Party and the People's Army gradually began to launch a new offensive in Korea from mid-March.

At this time, the garrison of nearly 50,000 troops in the six divisions of the Japanese army that was originally "stranded" in Korea also began to slowly feel the power of the "all-round blockade" tactics of the Seris naval fleet.

On March 19, Jeon Hyun Joon of Korea suddenly led his troops to attack the Japanese defenders at Daejeon, and after several days of stalemate between the two sides, the Japanese army was finally wiped out by Jeon Hyun Joon's troops due to the lack of ammunition and rations.

On March 26, while Jeon Hyun Joon's army was holding back the main Japanese force at Daejeon, another unit of the Donghak Party People's Army, under the command of his military advisor Kim Myung-deok, suddenly concentrated its forces and instantly conquered Jeonju, the capital of Jeolla Province, Korea. On April 2, Kim Myung-deok led his army north to support Jeon Jun-joon on the way to encounter Japanese sniping, and the two sides won a complete victory a few days later with Kim Myung-deok's civilian army.

On April 5, 1895, just as the first nationwide rice riots broke out in Tokyo, Japan, Japanese troops fighting in southern Korea also received orders from General Aritomo Yama of Seoul to begin to retreat from Jeolla Province.

Beginning on April 7, the Donghak Party's civilian army, which was gradually improving and had been replenished by a large number of troops, began to attack Gyeongsang and Chungcheong-do on a large scale, and captured Cheonan and Busan Fortress around the 12th.

On April 15, when the main force of the Japanese army in Seoul was forced to shrink its forces in various places and re-launch an attack on the Donghak Party and the People's Army in the south, the Joseon royal family suddenly turned against the Korean royal family under the command of Concubine Min, and the small number of Japanese troops remaining in the Korean royal capital were caught off guard and were driven out of Seoul by the "puppet army" of the Korean royal family......
