The 162nd Red Brigade is in action under the request for subscriptions and tickets
Zhao Zhen looked at Chang Ruiqing: "Brother Yaoru, next you want the Red Brigade to ......"
Several people set their eyes on Chang Ruiqing.
Chang Ruiqing lowered his head and said calmly: "I just want the great powers to know that we Chinese are not lambs to be slaughtered!" β
The words "Boxer" suddenly popped up in Zhao Zhen's heart, and he was a little worried, frowning and asking, "Then aren't you worried about recruiting the Eight-Nation Alliance again?" β
Chang Ruiqing sneered: "It's not the year of Gengzi, the great powers have killed all over Europe, and tens of millions of young people have been killed and wounded!" Moreover, there is also a Russia that has also made a red revolution, and compared to us, Russia is the big problem for the great powers, so they can't spare their hands to organize the Eight-Nation Alliance. β
"Japan, and what about Japan?" Zhao Zhen thought of the Japanese devils, he had a headache, exhaled heavily, and sighed: "In the past few months, the Russians in Mongolia have almost gone, and the Japanese have come in groups, and some Inner Mongolian princes supported by the Japanese have also migrated to the middle and lower reaches of the Krulun River with tribes, soldiers and horses, and there is also a Japanese devil named Kawashima Naniwa who has become the adviser of Jebtsundamba, which is really worrying!" β
Meng Li, who had always been relatively silent, snorted coldly at this time: "That's why we want to get rid of this fake monk!" β
Chang Ruiqing glanced at Zhao Zhen and saw that his face was full of worry, so he asked: "Youlin, is there something going on in Mongolia?" β
Zhao Zhenchang sighed and nodded: "Feng Huanzhang wrote to Duan Zhilao and Xu Zhenggong at the end of three days, and asked himself to lead the troops to fight in the southwest, and Lu Jianzhang was also running for him in Beijing. Fu Qingjie, the commander of the Mongolian capital, did not stay in Kulen, and now he is working as a staff member next to Duan Zhilao, and Qu Qinggong (Qu Tongfeng) is not willing to be the commander-in-chief of the Mongolian border guards, and thinks about returning to the mainland all day long...... Yaoru, if these people leave Outer Mongolia, there will be no space in Outer Mongolia, and I am afraid that the Japanese will support the Mongol princes to launch a rebellion......"
Chang Ruiqing glanced at Zhao Zhen and smiled faintly: "They are all gone." Aren't you the lord of Mongolia? β
Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly: "What kind of Mongolian lord, there are hundreds of thousands of people plus a large wasteland, and there is nothing good!" It's hard to even recruit soldiers. How can I keep this land with less than 2,000 men? β
Chang Ruiqing pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "Why don't you go to the Japanese too!" I heard that Kawashima Speedy has an adopted daughter named Yoshiko Kawashima, the daughter of the former Prince of Seisho, uh. I'm almost 12 years old this year, and I'll be able to get married soon...... Or I'll ask Okamura Ninji to come forward as a matchmaker and get you engaged to Yoshiko Kawashima. When Jebuzundamba dies, you ask Kawashima Naniwa to be your advisor, and you have the support of the Japanese. You'll be able to gain a foothold in Mongolia. β
"What?" Zhao Zhen stood up suddenly, and the anger on his face flashed: "Yaoru, do you know that the Japanese have ambitions for Mongolia and let me go to them, is this to make me a traitor and let people poke my backbone and scold?" β
Chang Ruiqing also stood up and shook his head: "Youlin!" This is not to be a traitor, this is to defend our Chinese land! Did you know that the biggest threat to Mongolia is not Japan? Just look at the map. Japan and Mongolia do not share a border, and now they can't swallow Mongolia! The biggest threat to Mongolia is in the north, and it is the Russians, whether Red or White, who will soon extend their claws to Mongolia once they have quelled the civil strife! In addition to relying on the power of the Japanese. There is no way to save Mongolia! β
Zhao Zhen was silent for a while: "But aren't we also GCD now?" We are friends with the Russian Bolsheviks......"
Chang Ruiqing sneered: "Friend? There are only eternal interests in the world, and there are no eternal friends! The Bolsheviks were now busy forming the Red Army. The All-Russian Committee for the Suppression of Rebellion was formed in the clear sense that after the defeat of the elections to the Constituent Assembly, the Social Revolutionaries and the Mensheviks. And the Russian royalists, they fought a civil war! And their Bolsheviks had a weak base in eastern Russia, where there was not much proletariat, and now their greatest fear was that the Great Powers would use our Chinese territory to help their enemies. That's why the Bolsheviks became friends with us and showed goodwill to China. β
Speaking of this, his face was already gloomy and a little terrifying: "Once the Bolsheviks win the civil war, they will definitely reach out to Mongolia at the first time!" There is really no difference between their territorial ambitions of these Red Russians and the Tsarist Russia of the past! β
Zhao Zhen nodded wordlessly. Chang Ruiqing patted him on the shoulder: "The situation in our country is like this, there is no strength to fight against the two jackals of Japan and Russia, and the only way is to raze to raze, and try to bring Japan and Russia to the road of mortal enemies!" Youlin, I'll stop here with these words, you will do your best in the future, if you really can't do it, don't force it, just return to the mainland. As long as the banner of Jebtsundamba is in our Chinese hands, Mongolia will always have a chance to come back. β
Zhao Zhen nodded: "I understand, Brother Yaoru, I listen to you!" I'm going to propose to that Kawashima Yoshiko......" The two looked at each other in silence for a long time, and Chang Ruiqing suddenly laughed: "Youlin, don't be embarrassed, I heard that little girl is very beautiful, and she is young, she will be a good wife if she marries her home and trains her well." β
Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly and sighed: "I already have a wife in my hometown...... Now if there is no family, forget it, just let her be a little one, but the other party is the daughter of the prince, and there is a Japanese spy adoptive father......"
Chang Ruiqing looked at his good brother's fairly handsome face, and said in his heart: "This kid is good-looking, he should be very popular with girls, but his temperament is a little soft, and I don't know if I can subdue that crazy girl?" β
At this time, Zhao Zhen was no longer in the mood to drink, so he stood up and said goodbye, Chang Ruiqing and others sent him all the way to the carriage outside the door, and then got into another Western-style carriage with Meng Li, Hu Roller Blind, and Zhen Xiaoru.
As soon as the car door closed, Chang Ruiqing glanced sharply at a few people and said, "Now I want to make some adjustments to the work of the Red Brigade. Under the headquarters of the Red Brigade, two command centers in the north and south will be established, and the southern command center will be located in the Shanghai Concession, with Meng Li as the commander-in-chief; The northern command center was set up in the Tianjin Concession, and Hu Roller was responsible for the unified command of the northern operations...... At present, the Red Brigade has only one target, that is, the Tsarist Russian colonial forces in China, including the Tsarist Russian diplomats, Russian barracks, Tsarist capitalists in the Beijing-Tianjin area, the Tsarist Russian colonial officials in North Manchuria, the senior Russian staff of the Eastern Railway, and the White Russian nobles in exile in China are all targets! However, you must be careful not to touch the personnel and interests of other powers in China. β
"Only Tsarist Russia? Yaoshuai. According to the humble position, none of these foreign devils in Britain, France, the United States and Japan are good, so it is better to deal with them together! Hu Roller Blind didn't seem to understand Chang Ruiqing's strategy. After a pause, he put forward a different opinion.
"Nope! We must not expand the area of attack, as this will invite the joint intervention of the great powers. Meng Li seemed to understand Chang Ruiqing's thoughts, he smiled deeply, and explained in the throat of the male duck: "At present, Tsarist Russia is already a dead tiger. No matter how hard you fight, it won't have much of a reaction, so it won't cause us big trouble, and it can also make our Red Brigade famous, so why not? β
Hu Rolling Blind suddenly realized: "I see! Look at my brain, I just think about anti-imperialism, look at imperialism but I am a tiger that eats people! β
The words of the two made Chang Ruiqing a little crying and laughing. He coughed lightly and smiled: "It's true that the purpose of beating Lao Maozi is to kill chickens and show monkeys, Britain, France, and the United States are all monkeys, and they won't spend money on us lightly. There is also a Japanese ...... They're the real tigers! However, our attack on Tsarist Russia is actually an indirect blow to Japan, and I estimate that when the results of the Russian Constituent Assembly election come out, the Russian civil war will almost begin. At that time, those remnants of Tsarist Russia may have taken refuge in Japan. β
"Then what are we going to do with Japan?"
After listening to Chang Ruiqing's explanation, Hu Roller Blind and Meng Li glanced at each other. asked in unison.
"We can only use our strength!" A hint of cunning flashed in Chang Ruiqing's eyes, and he smiled faintly: "Japan and Russia are both very persistent in their territory, and if a civil war breaks out in Russia, Japan will definitely not let go of the opportunity to expand to the Far East and Siberia!" And if the Russians suffer a loss, according to their temperament, they will definitely not give up. As soon as they have the chance, they want to get back on the field! Until then. We can calmly choose between the United Japan and the United Russia. β
With that, he took a deep breath. waved his hand: "Okay, that's all for these words, you've heard it, no one is allowed to spread it, you know?" Also, the northern headquarters of the Red Brigade will be established as much as possible, and the Red Travel Movement will all be assigned to the northern headquarters at the moment, and then there will be a few more big deals! β
Under Chang Ruiqing's order, in the next ten days, the activities of the Red Brigade in the area of Beijing and Tianjin can be described as crazy.
On November 16, the Russian barracks in the Russian Concession in Tianjin were attacked by the militants of the Red Brigade, and eighteen daredevils armed with Mauser-style **** and took advantage of the night to rush into the barracks converted from the original Beiyang Military Academy, killing all 35 Russian officers and soldiers left in the barracks that night!
On November 17, also in the Russian Concession in Tianjin, the Tianjin office of the Sino-Russian Daosheng Bank was robbed by armed elements of the Red Brigade, and 11 Russian bank personnel were shot dead! Hundreds of thousands of yuan in banknotes and dozens of kilograms of gold bars stored in bank vaults were looted!
On November 20, the activities of the Red Brigade were extended to the British Concession in Tianjin, and the Russian (Tsarist) consul in Tianjin, who was attending a reception at the Guild of the British Concession, was shot dead by the Red Brigade militants after leaving the Guild building!
On November 22, the Russian Yuantai Foreign Company Daban Pavlov was kidnapped by the Red Brigade militants at his home in the Russian Concession in Tianjin......
For a time, the entire Tianjin Concession was full of smoke and fire, and it almost became a battlefield! Although the unfortunate ones are still the remnants of Tsarist Russia who have no backstage, who can guarantee that this lawless Red Brigade will not target the people and institutions of other powers in China?
The envoys of the great powers entrenched in Beijing's Dongjiaomin Lane also felt a little helpless in the face of this increasingly fierce "anti-imperialist patriotic movement." Feng Guozhang and Duan Qirui, they went to protest and exert pressure almost every day.
And the attitude of those two was so good that it couldn't be better, so they sent a few "emperors" to kneel down and kowtow. The bounty for Zuo Min, the leader of the Red Brigade, has also been increased to 3 million oceans! Well, Duan Qirui also said very sincerely that if the syndicate of the great powers could lend him some more money, he was ready to raise the reward to 10 million!
In addition to the reward, Premier Duan also ordered the imposition of martial law in the city of Beijing for an indefinite period of time! Two divisions of troops were mobilized into Beijing, patrolling the streets every day, and two escorts were sent to every Russian in Beijing! As for Tianjin, Duan Qirui said that he couldn't help! Because according to the provisions of the "Xinchou Treaty", the squadron can only garrison 300 troops in Tianjin Huajie! To rely on 300 soldiers to deal with such an arrogant Red Brigade is really more than enough and not enough. Moreover, the places where Tianjin was attacked during this period were all in the concession. Not to mention that there are not many troops in Tianjin, China, even if there are 1 million troops who see Comrade Zuo Min doing evil in the concession, they will not be able to stop it. Otherwise, it would be a violation of the treaty......
Today, the head of the Great Powers Mission in Beijing, British Minister Zhu Erdian, once again convened a meeting of the Ministers. In front of the British Legation, horse-drawn carriages and cars were parked, and many soldiers of the Great Powers wearing various military uniforms were patrolling with rifles. Every Chinese who passes by must be repeatedly checked! It's almost at the entrance of Dongjiaomin Lane to erect a sign saying "Chinese and dogs are not allowed to enter"!
In the parlor of the British Legation, the ministers, counselors, military attachΓ©s, and the commanders of the armies of the great powers in China all looked angry and depraved, and from time to time they quarreled loudly, without the demeanor of diplomats at all.
"Gentlemen. Ladies and gentlemen! To report to you the sad news, about 30 minutes ago, there was another attack on Russian expatriates in the French Concession of Tianjin! Mr. Ukhmsky, the head of the Russo-Asia Bank (Sino-Russian Daosheng Bank), was kidnapped by the Red Brigades! The other party demanded a ransom of $1 million, and also demanded that the Bank of Russia and Asia suspend the issuance of banknotes in China and withdraw all the banknotes that had been issued within a time limit! β
The person who reported the news was Lieutenant Colonel Renaud, the military attache of the French Legation in China, and the face of this handsome old French man was full of sympathy, and after he finished speaking, he took out a handkerchief and gently wiped it from the corner of his eye, and then returned to a charming French smile.
Someone below shouted, "O God! Are we going to watch those damned Chinese constantly hurt our Russian friends? We have nothing but protest to the two useless presidents and prime ministers of the Beijing government. Can't you do anything really worthwhile? β
It was Rihachiro Sakanishi, military attache of the Japanese Legation, who spoke. His round, doughy face was already full of rage, and he waved his short arms hard. They Japan had several thousand troops in Tianjin! However, they could only make a fortune in the Japanese Concession and the Chinese Concession, and the concessions of other powers did not allow them to enter. In the Japanese Concession, this period of time was very peaceful, and there was no shadow of the Red Brigade at all...... I don't know why this Japanese military attache is so angry?
Zhu Erdian also didn't have much affection for the Japanese, and he knew the only reason for the other party's chatter. Just want the Japanese soldiers to take over the defense of the entire Tianjin and turn Tianjin into another Kwantung Prefecture! He nodded stiffly towards Bannishi. Say loudly: "Thank you for the reminder." But here I would like to remind you of a few points. First, the emergence of the Red Brigade is the inevitable result of the upsurge of Chinese nationalism! If we choose to send troops to China. Not only will it not allow the nationalism of the Chinese team to subside, but it will make this sentiment rise higher and higher, and the activities of the Red Brigade will definitely become more intense! β
His eyes were blazing, and he scanned the audience: "Second, the enemy we are facing this time, the Red Brigade, is different from the Boxers more than ten years ago!" They are more cunning and hidden, they are not openly active, but hidden in the shadows! Therefore, to eliminate such an organization, it is not possible to achieve the goal by dispatching one or two regiments, or even the strength of one division! Even if we send out millions of troops to occupy China in a full-scale way, we may not be able to eliminate these terrorists.
Third, all of us here are well aware. The leadership of Chinese society, whether it is the Beiyang government in Beijing or the military government in Guangzhou, is actually willing to defend our special rights and interests in China! We are all willing to act as our agents in China! Even we can remove the leaders of the Chinese government at will, and if we want Feng Guozhang or Duan Qirui to go into the wilderness, we don't need to use force at all, we just need to send a joint note...... For such Chinese leaders, we should take care of them! We can't drive them all to death, if they are all finished, it will be the turn of Chinese leaders like Zuo Min to fight us! β
As soon as his words fell, the ministers and officers of various countries in the room began to talk about each other. Everyone knows that the British minister's lofty remarks just now are naturally not "personal opinions", but must be instructions from Whitehall. In fact, almost all of the ministers present here have already received instructions from their respective Governments. With the exception of Japan, the directives of other governments are all similar, that is, they are required to cooperate with the Chinese government to safeguard their own interests in China and protect the security of their citizens in China from being violated...... As for sending troops to China, it is simply impossible, at least not until the end of the war in Europe!
