History is always such a coincidence, in 1894 during the Sino-Japanese War, "the Qing army explored the horse in the northeast of Piziwo in the name of the Yang Garden, saw 36 Japanese boats, with more than 100 small rowing boats, and camped ashore there. "Although there is a battalion of Qing soldiers stationed in Piziwo, the army landed without firing a single shot.

Ten years later, on May 5, 1904, dozens of merchant ships appeared again on the sea in front of Piziwo, and the soot spewed by the merchant ships stained the blue sky black.

On 7 May, the Second Army of the Far Eastern Army, under the command of Obaogong, occupied the narrow Isthmus of Jinzhou, and the connection between Lushunkou and the outside world was completely cut off.

"Last night, Tokyo was like a boiling volcano, the noise was boiling, and the frenzy of burning almost melted everything in the world. The great victory of the army in occupying the important place of Jinshu has spread throughout Tokyo and all corners of the East. The frenzied people crowded the streets and held a "Lantern Parade" on the streets of Tokyo, and the great victory of the Lantern Obaogong and the Second Army caused some confusion during the parade, and more than 20 ...... were trampled to death in the chaos.

Looking at the newspaper in his hand, Chen Moran felt that poor people were struggling in the sea of poverty and turmoil. But the ironclad propaganda of the war and the worship of the emperor made them devote an astonishing enthusiasm to the war.

"If there is a story, China will be the same!"

Thinking about it, Chen Moran stared at the map on the desktop, the map of the Liaodong Peninsula, staring at Dalian, but there was some smile on his face, Ao Baogong occupied the Isthmus of Jinzhou, the next step is Jinzhou, once Jinzhou is occupied, then the spearhead will be directed at Dalian, and all this will be seen at the end of the month, if history does not change, but the problem is that history does not seem to have changed here.

He looked at Dalian and then raised his head, and then looked at Xiao Xinren, Cai Zheng, and Jiang Fangzhen who were sitting at his desk, and saw that the three of them were looking at the amount of Chinese pieces in their hands, and the surprise on their faces showed a little heavier, and their smiles became heavier.

"What do you think?"

"Daring!"

When Xiao Xinren closed the document in his hand, he commented in four words, and then put the document on the desk without denial, but Cai Ye and Jiang Fangzhen were surprised with some different colors.

"Mr. ......"

"Hmm!" Interrupting Cai Ng's words with a light snort, Cai Que changed his words at this time, Chen Moran had specially explained to them, just words.

"Well, this is your plan!"

After a pause, Cai Yi considered the words in his heart again.

"Ten out of a bold, nine out of nine stupid. Two points of luck, one point of possibility. ”

When Cai Yi pondered the words there, Jiang Fangzhen summed it up in four sentences very directly, ignoring that this plan was Chen Moran's painstaking work.

"Hmm!"

Regarding this evaluation, Chen Moran didn't feel business, but nodded.

"I admit it, this is definitely a bold and stupid plan, but Baili, don't you also admit it, isn't it a possibility?"

Silence, in the face of Chen Moran's possibility, Xiao Xinren, Cai Yi, and Jiang Fangzhen were all silent, compared to Cai Yi and Jiang Fangzhen's surprise and incomprehension, Xiao Xinren picked up the teacup on the desk and took a sip of tea there, the two of them didn't understand Chen Moran, and Xiao Xinren could vaguely guess what Chen Moran meant.

"It's just a gamble!"

Xiao Qiren said lightly, gambling surname, Chen Moran has the Chinese gambling surname in his bones, he often says that he does things steadily, but in his bones he likes to gamble, Pudong is gambling, Ma'anshan is gambling, and the Guangfu Army is also gambling.

"It's gambling with thousands, or even tens of thousands of lives!"

Cai Yi refuted Xiao Xinren's indifferent words.

"If the gamble is lost, not only will those people die, but Dalian may even become a second ......."

Before Cai Ye could finish speaking, Xiao Xinren interrupted him, he knew what he wanted to say.

"What if the bet is made?"

Xiao Xinren asked rhetorically, now he has completely restored the surname that an officer should have, and there is no longer any indecision in the surname.

"If the bet is successful, we are equivalent to inserting a nail in the Kanto, and even if Lushun is controlled by Yu Yuben in the future, it will be boring and tasteless, and it will not become a climate. People are greedy, don't think that after 19 years, they will generously return the Kanto Prefecture to us, if the bet is successful, we will be equivalent to cutting off the claws of the Northeast in the Kanto region! ”

Listening to Xiao Xinren's words, Chen Moran nodded in agreement, this is a plan that he came up with after thinking hard for half a month, this is the first time, Chen Moran found that he had a talent for playing with conspiracy, well! It shouldn't be considered a conspiracy, it should be said that he has a certain talent for diplomacy, to be precise, it is based on the understanding of history, and thanks to the help of those old books, in the past six months, almost every day he has free time, he will continue to look through that set of books, in order to get inspiration from the collection.

"But what if it fails? Weiyang, you have already said that the people are widows and small people, and greed has become a surname, how can he sit back and watch the loss of Dalian! ”

Cai Ye frowned and asked rhetorically, out of his own understanding, Cai Yi believed that there was not much chance of winning this gamble.

"In the end, we are the ones who suffer!"

When Cai Ye spoke out against it, Chen Moran read the book of declaration of war against Russia.

"I am sincerely glad for the peace of East Asia. Therefore, on the issue of the current situation between the Qing Dynasty and Korea, we have been negotiating with Russia since last year. However, we have to confirm that the Russian political axe has no regard for the sincerity of peace in East Asia. The preservation of the territories of the two countries, the Qing Dynasty and the DPRK, is closely related to the self-defense of the reading power of the two countries. Yu Zi ordered me to stop negotiating with Russia, and decided to act freely in self-defense for my own sakure......"

"If you lose, you can tear off my hypocritical skin and let the Chinese people see it clearly!"

Xiao Xinren said for Chen Moran, but behind this sentence, it was enough to make this study room lower by a few degrees, and this coldness made Cai Yi and Jiang Baili tremble, they looked at Chen Moran in surprise, as if they couldn't believe that this was his intention, and at the same time, they glanced at Xiao Xinren who was faint and unsurprised. Judging from Xiao Xinren's performance after seeing this plan, they are more willing to believe that this is Xiao Xinren's plan.

The expressions of the two made Chen Moran understand that they were afraid that it would be difficult for them to accept the "coldness" behind this matter for a while, thinking that he stood up, walked to the window behind him, and stood there looking at the garden outside the window, where Ji Li was playing with her daughter, looking at them, Chen Moran smiled in his heart.

"Now that the army has occupied the Jinzhou Isthmus, cut off Lushun's contact with the outside world, and a large-scale land war is about to start in Lushun, it is safe to say that at least before the winner is decided, the possibility of peace between Lushun and Russia has been lost."

With his hands clasped in front of his chest and his back to the three of them, Chen Moran began to quote the information he saw in the book.

Germany and the United States will still do everything possible to make this war continue, and for Germany, a Russia weakened by the war will be a submissive slave in the German-Russian alliance, so he does not want the war to end before Russia and Russia have shed their blood. And the United States is also holding the same mind, hoping that they will lose both sides and run out of energy! ”

Speaking of this, Chen Moran sighed.

"Therefore, the timing of our uprising will be ripe when the army besieges Lushun, and only then will it be possible for the war to be decisive and not stop, but we have to take into account the northeast and the future, there are many times, whether it is military or diplomatic, it is a gamble!"

At this time, Cai Ye and Jiang Baili saw that when Chen Moran touched the cigarette from his pocket, he seemed a little flustered, so that he found a few pockets to find the cigarette...... Thinking of the bloodshot in Chen Moran's eyes when they first came, the two sighed in their hearts, and looked at Xiao Xinren's gaze that also changed a little.

The ruthlessness of the Eastern military was fully manifested in him.

"From a geographical point of view, after the recovery, it is said that we must be the great enemy of our country, and now in the resumption of the army, how many students are studying in the military, economics, and law? Songpo, Baili, you know what I mean, those who stay, those who say the enemy, those who say pro, and those who are afraid of say, if the skin of hypocrisy is not gone, then he is only afraid of the political axe after the recovery, and there are countless spies in the army! ”

Taking a deep puff of smoke, Chen Moran closed his eyes, he understood the price of failure as early as when he made this plan, but ...... There are always things that need to be done.

"If we lose the bet, we may pay the price, but the executioner is not us, but the Manchus, until that day, not only can we tear off the hypocrisy of the book, but also tear off the last skin of the Manchus! If my expectations are correct, the Manchus will try their best to deny it in order to put aside the relationship, and ......"

The temperature in the study dropped to freezing, and when he closed his eyes, Chen Moran seemed to see the scene he saw in the movie, so that when he turned his head, not only was his face pale, but even his lips trembled slightly, but this expression entered the eyes of Cai Ye and Jiang Baili without falling in the slightest.

"So whether you succeed or lose, the benefits should be huge!"

Xiao Xinren's words almost didn't give him two slaps in the face, but what he needs to consider is the reward behind this matter, and he must learn these four words as a soldier.

"So...... Has it begun? ”

Jiang Fangzhen, who had been silent, suddenly asked, and seeing Chen Moran nodded, he sighed secretly in his heart, I hope that the possibility of success can ...... God forbid!

At the end of the 23rd year of Guangxu, in order to compete for the territory of the Qing Dynasty, Tsarist Russia forcibly drove warships into the mouth of Arthur, and then sent people to Dalian Bay and Qingniwa to investigate, and decided to open a port and build a city in Qingniwa. At that time, the Russian designers who came to Qingmudwa carried the urban construction drawings of Paris, France, and wanted to create a city dominated by squares in the East. She was named "Dalini", which means distant city, a place far from Moscow and St. Petersburg.

Whether it is Dalini in the Russian population or Qingniwa in the Chinese mouth, it is the largest commercial port and city in the Liaodong Peninsula, as a commercial port, ships dock in the port every day, and after the start of the Russian war, with the beginning of the Lushun and Kwantung naval blockade wars, there are 50 Russian cargo ships from hundreds of tons to thousands of tons that cannot leave the port due to the war, but even so, every day there are still British, German, French and other merchant ships in and out of Dalini Port.

After all, it is no better than Russia, and when Russia's Vladivostok detachment was active in the coastal waters of Vladivostok from the very beginning of the war, carrying out war-breaking engagements, sinking and capturing British and German merchant ships and British and German merchant ships transporting contraband, the merchant ships of Britain, Germany, France, and other countries could enter and leave the port of Dalini with great swagger, bringing grain, coal, cement, steel, and even munitions.

As usual, at noon, when a British cargo ship loaded with flour, cement, and rebar loaded from the port of Dagu arrived, the workers on the wharf began to unload bags of flour and barrels of cement on the ship, which would be loaded directly onto the train and transported to Lushunkou, where the flour would be used to enrich the granaries of Lushunkou, while the cement from Qixin and the rebar from Ma'anshan would be used to build the defensive fortress of Lushun.

When the coolies at the dock were busy, there would occasionally be some libas dressed no different from the coolies at the docks, and they worked with the coolies, carrying the goods, and in half a day's work, with the efforts of hundreds of coolies, thousands of tons of goods on the ship were unloaded onto the train, and the coolies who had worked hard for several hours took the number plate to receive the wages from the foreman.

When the paid coolies coaxed out of the dock, the Russian soldiers on the dock wearing white uniforms and carrying Mosin rifles were lazily basking in the warmth as always, and no one noticed that there were dozens more people in this group of coolies, and when they left the dock, the coolies dispersed, although they were scattered, but they were still in groups, and the extra people were scattered into small groups of several or a dozen people, led by some coolies in front, and walked in several directions.

The group of coolies who worked under the sunset were no different from usual, at least in the eyes of outsiders, they were just a group of coolies who had been tired all day. Following the liaison on the dock, Li Dongyun and his comrades-in-arms walked along the streets and alleys of Dongqing Niwa, that is, Chinatown, and after turning into an alley, they entered a warehouse compound, which looked no different from the coolies who rushed here to work at night.

The wooden door of the warehouse opened, and the old man who guarded the door glanced at the dozen or so people, and flashed the door open and entered the courtyard.

"No one is paying attention to you!"

The old man asked lightly, and the man who took the lead hurriedly replied.

"Hall master, don't worry, even if someone sees it, it is the coolie who goes to work!"

The old man glanced at the dozen or so people, looking at the strong military aura on their bodies, he still shook his head, and he didn't know how to restrain himself, but he pointed to a warehouse.

"Oh, let's get in! Brothers are inside! ”

As soon as he entered the warehouse with his front feet, looking at the neatly arranged three-layer wooden bed in the warehouse and the brothers who were fiddling with the guys in the warehouse, the familiar atmosphere made Li Dongyun laugh.

"Hey, Dongyun, you kid is here, and you're still smirking, aren't you sitting on a boat and being stunned!"

Zhao Jiaqi, who was wiping his gun, put down the gun when he saw Li Dongyun and his party, saying that when he walked to Li Dongyun's side, he smashed a punch in his chest.

"Jiaqi, you kid ......"

Laughing and scolding, the people who followed Li Dongyun walked towards the gun rack by the wall, they rubbed their hands and took off the rifle from the gun rack with their eyes shining, and skillfully played with it.

"Hurry up and wipe the gun, maybe we can grab the little nose and have a fight with Lao Maozi!"

"Of course I'm here to fight!"

Lin Yanzhi said lightly, when he came, the eldest brother ...... No, it should be the commander's explanation very clearly, this time they came to Dalian and they only cooperated with the actions of the Second Investigation Section. But that's just the early stage, the later stage...... No one knows.

"The front is done, but you and I don't know what will happen in the back, do we?"

"Oh! I understand! ”

Although his heart sank, Ji Fuze still nodded.

"Now the most important thing is who will convince Sakharov!"

"Didn't you choose Ji Fengtai?"

"I contacted Ji Fengtai for a while, and he has already said that as long as he doesn't fight, he feels that he always has to pay taxes, he can pay anyone, he can pay as much as he wants, and he ......"

Thinking of what Ji Fengtai said to himself, Ji Fuze even felt a little ashamed because he had this family from 800 years ago, this kind of person ...... "It is unlikely that he will cooperate with us, and he is now thinking about how to use this war to take advantage of the fire to rob, and he has a household photo of China, Russia, and the three countries in his hand, his Chinese name is Ji Fengtai, and his Russian name is Nikolai?" Ivanovic? According to the current information we have, he not only wants to strike while the iron is hot, but is also trying to bribe Sakharov to prevent the Russian army from destroying important buildings and facilities in Dalian, so as to prepare for the army to take over the Qingniwa after the Japanese army. ”

Ji Fuze's words only made Lin Yanzhi's brows furrow, in order to rush to the green mud pool within twenty days, 1,700 officers and soldiers of the Fourth Regiment rushed to this place from land and sea disguised as beggars, bandits, refugees, sailors, and coolies, but they never thought that the original most difficult level was easily passed, but there was a problem in the place where it should have been smooth.

"Are there any other suitable candidates?"

"Yes!"

Ji Fuze nodded affirmatively, but hesitated when he looked at Lin Yanzhi.

"There are two more people, these two people may be able to help us, but ......"

"But what!"

"But if you want them to help us, I'm afraid it will take some trouble, you must know that they are just businessmen!"
