Chapter 264: Declaring war on Tsarist Russia

"The old Russian Maozi is really too deceitful!" After Ren Chao learned the news, he scolded angrily, and the Russians' actions this time completely angered Ren Chao. Ren Chao repeatedly tolerated Tsarist Russia before, but he didn't expect that in the end, it would be such an ending, how could Ren Chao not be angry. Ren Chao can also see that whether it is an old man, a little devil, or even those European and American powers, they must not be soft on these greedy bastards, unless they are beaten down with a punch, otherwise they will never know satisfaction. Your forbearance can only be tried by them to be weak and bullied, and the more you retreat, the more they will kick their nose in the face.

At this time, Ren Chao was completely determined, and did not hesitate to start an all-out war with Tsarist Russia. Ren Chao's decision is definitely a risky move, first of all, the domestic situation at this time is not stable. Although the princes led by Li Hongzhang have not openly jumped out against Ren Chao now, it does not mean that they will be willing to submit to Ren Chao, after all, in the eyes of these old guys, Ren Chao is just a yellow-haired boy, and it is tantamount to a pipe dream for them to bow down willingly. They haven't made any moves yet, they're just patiently waiting for the right time, and when the time comes, they won't hesitate to jump out and rebel openly. Ren Chao didn't know this, but at this time, Ren Chao had been forced into a dead end, could it be that he would give up the three northeastern provinces to the Russians? Of course, this is not impossible, but such a thing, he Ren Chao can't do it anyway. Now that Ren Chao has come to this world, he can't watch even an inch of land fall into the hands of foreigners.

Although Ren Chao knows. Once the Tiger Ben Army declares war on Tsarist Russia, those local governors are likely to take advantage of the opportunity to rise up and openly raise troops against Ren Chao. In this way, it is very likely that the guide zhì tiger army will be attacked by the enemy, and even the guide zhì tiger army will be directly strangled by Chinese and foreign forces. But on the other hand, this is another opportunity for Ren Chao. Once the Tiger Army was able to defeat Tsarist Russia, it would not only effectively deter the opposition forces at home, but also show the strength and strength of China to those Western powers. By that time, with a great victory over Tsarist Russia. Only then can China successfully rise in the Far East, and at that time, even the Western powers will no longer dare to underestimate China, and will no longer dare to arbitrarily bully China as before.

For Ren Chao, this is undoubtedly a gamble. And it's a gamble of the century. The stake is China's national fortune in the next 100 years. In case of defeat. Needless to say, the complete defeat of the Tiger Army, without the protection of the Tiger Army, Huaxia will inevitably become a meal on the plate that has long been eyeing China. In the end, China could not escape the tragic fate of being carved up by the great powers. But Ren Chao still decided to take a gamble, because Ren Chao had no way out, and Tsarist Russia had undoubtedly forced Ren Chao to a dead end, and Ren Chao could only fight with his back.

"Immediately make public the atrocities of Tsarist Russia in the Northeast, and at the same time notify the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to lodge a strong protest to the Tsarist side, demanding that the troops of the Tsarist Government immediately and unconditionally withdraw from the Northeast!" Ren Chaoqiang held back the anger in his heart and ordered loudly.

"Yes!" Sun Junping responded respectfully, seeing that Ren Chao was suddenly so angry, Sun Junping was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word.

"Immediately notify all cabinet members and immediately convene an emergency cabinet meeting. Yang Jichang, you immediately ordered all units of the Tiger Army and the Jiaolong Fleet to prepare for battle, notify Zhou Tai and others in the northeast, and continue to attack the Heilongjiang side, but you must closely monitor Lao Maozi's every move, if you encounter this gang of old Maozi, you will beat me hard, no need to ask for instructions. Ren Chao then ordered.

"Think twice, if you start a war with the Russians now, I'm afraid~!" Yang Jichang couldn't help but persuade.

"Think twice! Lao Maozi has already been bullied to the doorstep, no! has already entered the house, if Lao Tzu can still bear it, Lao Tzu is not Ren Chao, he is not Ren Maniac! Ren Chao unceremoniously interrupted Yang Jichang's words and shouted loudly.

"Yes!" Yang Jichang saw that Ren Chao had already made up his mind, and knew that it would be useless to persuade him, so he could only obediently close his mouth.

At the subsequent cabinet meeting, all cabinet members, except for Ren Chao, unanimously opposed a war with Tsarist Russia at this time, hoping to resolve the dispute through diplomatic means, which was essentially to make concessions in exchange for the withdrawal of Tsarist Russia. But Ren Chao has already made up his mind to force the declaration of war on Russia, and then Ren Chao led a group of cabinet members to ask to see Emperor Guangxu, and the declaration of war on the outside world still needs the final approval of the Qing Emperor.

"A declaration of war on Tsarist Russia?" When Emperor Guangxu heard the news at first glance, he couldn't help but be shocked.

"Not bad! Please ask the emperor to approve the declaration of war against Tsarist Russia and issue a declaration of war edict. Ren Chao said with a stern face.

Emperor Guangxu carefully examined Ren Chao and found that Ren Chao was looking at him with a stern face, and after making sure that Ren Chao was not joking, Emperor Guangxu couldn't help but ask, "Ren Aiqing, judging from the current situation, I am afraid it is inappropriate to declare war on Tsarist Russia~!" ”

"Back to the emperor, in fact, it is not that we have to declare war on Tsarist Russia, it is really that the Tsarist Russians have deceived people too much, and now the Tsarist Russian army has divided into my Heilongjiang, Jilin and other places, invaded our Qing territory, and killed my Qing people. We have no choice but to fight! As the lord of the world, the emperor can't watch the great rivers and mountains in the northeast fall into the hands of the Russian old Maozi, so how can the emperor be worthy of my ancestors and ancestors of the Qing Dynasty, and how can he be worthy of my hundreds of millions of Li people. Ren Chao looked at Emperor Guangxu and said righteously.

Emperor Guangxu couldn't help frowning deeply when he heard this, and Emperor Guangxu at this time was also an abnormal contradiction in his heart. Hearing that the Russians openly sent troops to the northeast, occupied our territory, and killed our people, Emperor Guangxu was also angry in his heart, and he hated to immediately send troops to kill all these hateful old Maozi, but Emperor Guangxu also knew the situation of the Qing Dynasty at this time. Two years ago, the little Oriental Japanese almost broke through the Jingshi, not to mention the old Maozi who was even more powerful than the Japanese! A declaration of war is nothing more than the next edict to declare war, but can it be won? In short, Emperor Guangxu could not see the slightest hope of winning. And Emperor Guangxu is even more contradictory, he hopes that this battle can win Lao Maozi, but at the same time, he also hopes that the Tiger Ben army can be defeated. Emperor Guangxu naturally didn't want to see the Northeast being robbed by Lao Maozi in vain, so he looked forward to winning this battle, but at the same time, he also looked forward to the Tiger Army being wiped out by Lao Maozi, after all, he didn't want to be Ren Chao's puppet for the rest of his life. Therefore, Emperor Guangxu's heart was extremely entangled. (To be continued......)
