Chapter 129: The Flotilla
Yakov's men retreated faster than expected, and after several encounters with Liang Yuchun's troops on the outskirts of the city, they retreated voluntarily, roaring northward, as suddenly as they came, and the invaders Yakov rebels were clean in a week.
Petrov's heart finally let go, and his city was saved, but remembering that there was another Chinese general Wu, his head ached again, and the method he discussed with Nevsky was simply not worth mentioning in front of the Chinese general's horse race, and in the morning, when he got up and heard the news, there was another burst of curses, but it was useless and useless.
As a gentleman, and as the mayor of Vladivostok, he can't allow himself to break his promises, in fact, this is also a bit of a self-consolation component, at this moment the entire city's vital passages are controlled by the squadron, and he can no longer control his city. Since the annihilation of the main brigade Afanaev, the strength of the original garrison division has been greatly reduced, and the Cossack cavalry regiment was sent to Boli to support half a month ago, so it was taken advantage of by Yakov, and after the previous battle, the few remaining troops lost their combat effectiveness.
He now looks at the days and hopes for the early return of the Cossack cavalry regiment, otherwise he will not be able to resist the invaders even if he wants to return control of Vladivostok from the Chinese. But even so, he had to get back what belonged to him as much as possible, and Nevsky had not long been sent by him to negotiate with the cunning General Wu, and he would return the control to negotiate a result.
"Cunning Wu, he is a hungry wolf who does not know how to be satisfied. Oh my God, forgive your poor child. "Petrov was worried about the negotiation process and prayed to God for his salvation.
……
Looking at Nevsky in front of him, from a personal emotional point of view, Wu Xiaoliang admired this bearded man very much, and even thought that he would be a very good friend, but unfortunately his position was different, he shouldn't have this opportunity, right? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shake my head.
Nevsky also looked at the Chinese general in front of him, but his expression was very nervous, and he was not sure that the cunning General Wu would agree to Petrov's request. Suddenly seeing him shaking his head, he was anxious in his heart, and opened his mouth to persuade: "General Wu, in the words of you Chinese, everyone is a person of one's word, and we should keep our promises, so the general should return the control of Vladivostok to us as agreed." ”
The idiom quoted by the bearded man was inappropriate, Wu Xiaoliang smiled, understood that he had misunderstood himself, and said: "The Chinese have always been trustworthy, and Your Excellency Baron can rest assured that I guarantee with my reputation that within a month the Suidong Army will return the control of Vladivostok to your country, and the reason why a one-month buffer period is left is because the Yakov bandits have just retreated not long ago, and the place is not quiet, and second, the armed forces of your country have been completely lost and do not have enough ability to protect themselves, so the Suidong Army is really well-intentioned. Thirdly, I heard that your Cossack cavalry regiment is returning at night, and it is also planned to wait for their return to do the handover. ”
Wu Xiaoliang's words were reasonable, even though Nevsky refused in every possible way, but he had no soldiers in his hands, but he was helpless, but he still made further demands in due course: "Okay, these three points are according to General Wu's words, but on behalf of Duke Petrov, I once again request you, please return control of the port in advance." "This is Petrov's greatest fear, the port is not in his hands, which means that the lifeblood of the Far Eastern Fleet is in the hands of the Chinese, which is too dangerous, and the port must be returned anyway."
"The handover of the port is unshirkable, just wait for the Suidong Army to complete the port lease, and return it immediately, how about it, Your Excellency Baron?"
Nevsky was speechless for a while, did he have a chance to say no? No. But he still didn't give up the negotiation lightly, stared into Wu Xiaoliang's eyes and asked, "Please General Wu give a specific time and time limit, so that I can go back and reply to Duke Petrov." ”
"Ten days, within ten days, it will be returned."
Wu Xiaoliang repeatedly gave a definite answer, the first batch of supplies from Mukden could stop at Vladivostok within ten days, and there were 10,000 immigrants with him, and his grand plan would begin here.
Using the telegraph machine of the Vladivostok Telegraph Office, Wu Xiaoliang restored contact with the Suidong Army again a week ago, and the battle situation turned out to be as he had expected, the main force of the confrontation with it turned out to be Du Scar, and only a small part of the periphery was a golden-eyed beard, after a few battles, now these bandits are vulnerable, but every time they are not defeated and dispersed, it will not take long for them to surround back, and so on, Suidong has few soldiers, and the troops cannot be fully paid, and finally the staff unanimously believes that as long as they do not take the initiative to provoke, they will ignore it in order to save bullets. After a few days of such a bluff, suddenly and inexplicably all of them retreated, as if they were still walking very wolfly, and their weapons and luggage were scattered all over the place.
Five days later, China's domestic fleet arrived in Vladivostok, and steamships ranging from 100 tons to thousands of tons sailed into the port. It was impossible to prepare so well in just a few days, but Sun Jiayu's idea when transporting migrant workers was to transport them by sea, and when he set sail, he received news from Wu Xiaoliang that he was in Vladivostok, so he urgently hired a group of steamers of the Swire Steamship Company to load the materials hoarded in Tianjin and go to Vladivostok with him.
All kinds of steamships in the harbor waved their flags, the whistles came and went, the temporarily organized welcoming crowd stood all over the wharf, the soldiers of the Suidong Army changed into brand-new military uniforms, and the guns were shining brightly, and after the first steamship docked, Li Zejun gave an order, and the soldiers raised their guns in unison and fired six shots into the sky.
The pedals were on board, and a person on the steamer stepped on first, wearing a black fine collar trench coat, a civilized hat, and black leather gloves leaning on the railing.
"Big brother now has eyes and hands, and he can coordinate such a large fleet in just a few days." Wu Xiaoliang was very excited, his sworn brother, spared no effort to help him.
"Second brother, don't come unharmed, I want to kill my brother! My brother has brought people and supplies today to support you in your fight for the country. ”
Sun Jiayu said and then rushed to the soldiers on the shore and said loudly: "The soldiers are lonely overseas, and the contemptible people greet their brothers on behalf of the industrial and commercial circles of Fengtian and Tianjin, hard work!" ”
The voice was not high, but it instantly quieted down all the soldiers present, the fourth battalion of the Suidong Army was basically composed of Beijing student soldiers, and the patriotic enthusiasm was extremely high.
