In the territory of the Northeast, this is not like the big granary of the three northeastern provinces in later generations, but a slightly barren place. And because it is the land of the Manchu people, it has been very strictly controlled by the Manchus, and it is almost impossible for too many Han people to enter here, and it is the territory left by the Manchu emperor, as a case that one day it can retreat to the northeast, and then try to divide it. However, due to the invasion of Tsarist Russia, in order to keep the Northeast, the Manchu Qing court opened the Northeast. However, it has only been a few years since the ban was lifted, and the current population of Kanto is only a few million, so "pepper noodles" in the three northeastern provinces are simply sparsely populated.

However, there are three people with very great power in the Northeast here, who are the three generals of the Northeast. The three generals in the Northeast are General Shengjing, General Heilongjiang, and General Jilin. These three generals are the supreme rulers of the northeast, and they are not like the generals in the Guannai, who are subject to the mutual control of the local governors. And these three generals here, it can be said that they are the real feudal officials, and they are not a little more powerful than those feudal officials in the Guannai who are subject to multiple constraints. Almost all of them are here, and they all say the same.

Now, however, the three generals stayed up all night, waiting in their respective telegraph rooms, where they were busy sending telegrams. The telegraph operator was almost as tired as a dead dog, and had to take turns on duty. But those three generals in the Northeast did not choose to rest, they were all constantly urging with telegrams, and then discussing with each other what to do next.

"Recently, the Russian Rakshasas have sent a large army over, and their goal is obvious, that is, to occupy our Liaodong here! However, we have very few troops in Liaodong, and we don't have any civilians, so how can we hold it? Our troops here are only more than 10,000 people in Shengjing, while Heilongjiang and Jilin are only a few thousand. But we are facing hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves of the Russians. They though the sorcerer king shared the burden from all over the place. According to the preliminary investigation at present, the Russians have given us 200,000 troops here, but they really look up to us, the three generals of Liaodong! General Jilin Chongshan complained.

However, Kiyomori, who temporarily took the position of General Shengjing, looked at this telegram, and then closed his eyes too, obviously very speechless about this result. Kiyomori really didn't think about how he was so unlucky. The former General Shengjing had just left his post and was temporarily represented by himself, the Shengjing household servant of the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty were almost the same, both had a two-capital system. However, the two capitals of the Ming Dynasty were Beijing and Nanjing, while the Qing Dynasty was Beijing and Shengjing, and their roles were similar, and they both hoped to retreat when things could not be done.

But he has just been acting for a while, so he has to face foreign aggression, which makes him very speechless. He was a civilian official, not a military attache who was charging into battle. So he didn't know what to do. What's more, he's just an agent, and he doesn't know what to do.

"Send a telegram, ask Heilongjiang General Shoushan, and see what he can do!" Kiyomori said.

The so-called Shoushan is a member of the Han Army, and his ancestor is Yuan Chonghuan, a famous official of the Ming Dynasty. And Yuan Chonghuan was also very controversial until later generations, some people even said that Yuan Chonghuan was a traitor of the Manchu Dynasty, and his descendants were compiled into the Han army banner of the Manchu Dynasty. This has also exacerbated the spread of this statement. But there are not so many things to care about here, but the important thing is that his son and grandson became the general of Heilongjiang. He is one of the three generals in Northeast China, and his current attitude also determines the direction of the three northeastern provinces in the future.

Shoushan looked at this telegram, and then also scolded: "What can I do? I have no blood, but I can't do anything at all, I only have a few soldiers under my command, facing the 200,000 Russian army. What can we do? The Russians have an army of 200,000 people, each of whom is well fed, how can we be opponents? When the time comes, the Northeast will be lost, so what should we do? ”

But that Chongshan saw the telegram. immediately scolded: "You still have the heart to care about the Northeast at this time, our emperor and queen mother have been put under house arrest by Wang Guorui's traitor." Now, as long as Wang Guorui's traitor comes up with a trick of Zen, then our Qing dynasty will be over. At this time, let's not think about the Northeast first, and think about how to rescue the Queen Mother and the Emperor first. If the Queen Mother and the Emperor were forced to give in by Wang Guorui's traitor, then what else did we mean in the Qing Dynasty? At that time, was it interesting to hold the Northeast? ”

This Chongshan is the royal clan of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so he is more concerned about whether Aixin Jueluo can sit firmly in the country than whether the Northeast can hold it. Now that Emperor Guangxu and Empress Dowager Cixi are under house arrest, if Wang Guorui wants to, he can come to a Zen ceremony at any time, and he can directly come to a city head to change the king's flag. But in order to maintain stability, Wang Guorui did not play this trick in such a hurry. But this is like a sword hanging over Manqing's head, which may fall at any time. The current Manchu Qing Dynasty is like the meat in front of Wang Guorui's eyes, and he can eat it at any time.

Chongshan is already very anxious, if the Aixin Jueluo family is finished by then, then is it still interesting for them to keep these northeastern provinces? What's more, it's still a question of whether they can hold on, so they are all looking very clumsy now, and they don't have any good ways at all.

Shoushan couldn't help but say: "Why don't we ask Wang Guorui for help?" ”

Shoushan thinks that he is a "Han person", at least his ancestors are Han people, and Wang Guorui does not mean to blame the Manchu people, so he thinks that he can still get out of the way. As for Yuan Chonghuan's, can Wang Guorui still be held accountable to his descendants on this ground? What's more, Yuan Chonghuan's evaluation is also inconclusive, so Wang Guorui naturally can't use this as an excuse to treat him, right? Now Wang Guorui seems to be going to sit on the country, and he can't hold the northeastern provinces in front of Russia anyway, so it's better to "sell" the northeastern provinces at a good price!

took the initiative to ask Wang Guorui to support, in fact, he wanted to "sell" the northeastern provinces to Wang Guorui, anyway, since he couldn't hold it, he took advantage of this time when he was still under his own hands, and "sold" it as soon as possible, so as to ensure a safe soft landing in the second half of his life, even if he was forced to leave his career early, it would be a safe "soft landing", at least it would not affect his reputation behind him, and it would not affect the future of his descendants. Even if Wang Guorui doesn't appoint them, their descendants can have a future that looks good, so it is only serious to "sell" the three northeastern provinces as soon as possible. If you wait for the Russians to call, you will not only lose your own life, but you will not be able to "sell" it at a good price.

Although Shoushan is loyal to the country and is willing to sacrifice for the country. But whoever can live, who wants to die! If it was only the Manchu Qing Dynasty, then he naturally chose to repay the country with death. Now that Wang Guorui has appeared, he also seems to be "life-saving", at least he has hope, and people with hope naturally don't want to die, at least when there is a way out, who wants to die! Therefore, it is a good thing to sell it as soon as possible, and then your descendants will have a future.

However, Chongshan, the general of the Jilin clan, scolded: "You, a fatherless and kingless person, actually want to take refuge in Wang Guorui, that traitor? Are you worthy of the emperor's grace? Are you worthy of my love for the Xinjue Luo family for so many years of kindness to you? Don't forget, who made you this Heilongjiang general, if it weren't for our love for the Xinjue Luo family, would you be able to become this general? But now that the Aixin Jueluo family is about to be destroyed, and you don't think about how to save it, you actually want to sell yourself here for a good price, is this the behavior of a loyal minister? ”

Hearing this, Shoushan was not to be outdone, and directly scolded: "Am I also defending the land for my Qing Dynasty?" What's more, Wang Guorui has not forced the emperor and the queen mother to take the throne at present, maybe Wang Guorui just wants to implement a constitutional monarchy? At that time, we promised him a position as the head of the cabinet, and that would be fine. At that time, we restrained him in many ways, and he would not be able to do anything. ”

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old?" Chongshan said angrily.

Shoushan's face was embarrassed for a while, he didn't believe what he said just now, how could he make others believe it? Everyone is a thousand-year-old fox, so don't talk about fasting, who doesn't understand the current situation! In this day and age, who doesn't want to sell themselves for a good price? The major feudal officials in the customs are also thinking about how they can use the territory in their hands to bargain and seek the greatest benefits for themselves. And now, can these northeasts be left alone? The current situation is not hundreds of years ago when the Manchu imperial family could withdraw from the Central Plains and establish a state again. Now the situation is very obvious, there are Russians invading outside, the Japanese are eyeing Korea, and the Northeast is not trying to be alone in this chaos. Under the pressure of the Russians and the Japanese, the Northeast has become an inseparable territory under the pressure of the Russians and the Japanese. Even if they want to split, will the Japanese and Russians agree?

"Alright, it's time for this danger, so don't make any noise. What should we do in Liaodong, we must come up with a solution! If there is no way to solve the invasion of these Russians, then we will be useless even if we talk about the future! Kiyomori said. (To be continued......)
