Adventures, there are always too many adventures in the military. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Often, military adventures are not just trust or infinite exaggeration of one's own military strength, but more importantly, many military adventures are caused by military lack of confidence, which leads to strategic adventures. And it's this kind of adventure that often surprises people. So as to produce the effect of a surprise soldier, but for Tang Hao, what he cares about is not a surprise soldier or a risk, more precisely, the reason why he wants to "swallow an elephant with a snake" is completely out of strategic needs, just as he refuses to compromise at this time.

On the surface, the refusal to compromise was to avoid a blow to the morale of the people, which had been awakened with great difficulty, but in fact, from the beginning of his control of Korea, the policies he implemented were doomed to everything today, and it was only a matter of time before he broke with the Qing court, and all this is just a reason.

"Since the Manchu Qing Dynasty is not angry, then I am not welcome."

The corners of Tang Haoran's lips lifted and he said softly.

"From the perspective of defending North Korea, even if we hit the capital and forced them to sign an alliance under the city, we did not solve the land and sea threats faced by North Korea, and Kwantung was in the hands of the Manchus, and it could cross the Yalu River at any time, and North Korea had no strategic depth, so it could not be maintained, but if Kwantung was in our hands, it could form a threat to Beijing at any time, so that it would not dare to act rashly!"

This is precisely the situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty, since the Qing army occupied Liaodong, it immediately posed a threat to the capital and Shandong, so that the Ming Dynasty lost all its advantages over the Qing army, and fell into a passive defensive situation everywhere, but Liaodong was in the hands of the Manchu Qing. You will fall into a situation where you are passive and defensive everywhere. Thus the advantage is lost.

Tang Haoran, who is well aware of the Ming and Qing dynasties and even modern Chinese history, will naturally not sit idly by and watch himself lose his advantage. Of course, the deeper point is that he believed that once he succeeded, it would be equivalent to tearing the last tiger skin of the Manchu court, thus causing the expansion of local forces within the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and then laying the most solid foundation for the complete defeat of the Manchus -- the foundation for the whole country to turn against the country when the time is ripe.

"What your lord says is very true!"

After a little thought, Shang Dequan immediately understood that the advantage of the Kwantung region over Fuzhong was not in the hands of the Qing court, but in the hands of Fuzhong. As for the Manchus, they could only fall into a situation of passive defense.

"In addition, it is Lushun, although the Beiyang Naval Division is stationed on Liugong Island, but its logistics base is in Lushun, except for Lushun, there is no dock for the two ships in Dingzhen in the country, and there is no corresponding equipment, and now the Beiyang Naval Division has been out to sea for half a year, and its ships have long needed to be docked for maintenance, and now we do not have a navy. This Beiyang Fleet is the sword hanging over our hearts, this sword ......"

At the same time, Tang Haoran's words sank slightly.

"We can't break him now. But if Lushun is captured, it can make this sword dull, and there are hundreds of forts and good military ports, docks and other equipment in the area of Lushun and Qingniwa, which can also be used as one of the future naval bases, this navy we have been doing, with such a base, it can form a rough angle with Liugong Island, and then make it dare not move! ”

When the large dockyard in Arthur was not completed, the two ships of the Beiyang Fleet could only go to Japan to maintain the bottom of the ship, but now it is obviously impossible for them to go to Japan, which is in the midst of war, so there is only one place left - Singapore, and even Hong Kong cannot maintain the two ships in Dingzhen.

Moreover, the Beiyang Navy has ordered so many warships, and it also needs to build a new military port, where else is there in the north suitable for building a military port? There is only Qingdao, the occupation of Lushun, except for the base that can make the Beiyang Fleet move south, Qingdao is only the first line, and even Li Hongzhang is very likely to choose to establish a base in the south, of course, the Manchu court will not agree, after all, the establishment of the Beiyang Fleet is to defend the important land of Gyeonggi.

"And then there's the resources of the Northeast!"

Although North Korea is rich in resources, it is actually extremely scarce, which even restricts the industrial development of the Special Economic Zone, and for Tang Hao, he prefers to build China rather than North Korea, although in his mind North Korea is a part of China, but some habits are always unavoidable.

"In the Northeast, there is not only the coking coal that we urgently need, but also the abundant iron ore, copper ore, agriculture and animal husbandry resources, and the Northeast is vast and sparsely populated, so we can attract domestic immigrants by granting land to enrich the population, instead of relying on the industry and mining to attract labor as it is now......

Although North Korea can provide sufficient labor, but North Koreans are not always Chinese, perhaps Tang Haoran can call North Koreans "Chinese", but the idea of "not my race, their hearts must be different" still affects many of his decisions.

However, the Northeast is different, not to mention the tens of millions of Han people there, even its hundreds of millions of acres of arable land can also attract a large number of people to pour into the Kanto, and sufficient manpower can not only consolidate the frontier, but also provide sufficient troops when the whole country is recovered in the future. None of this is something that North Korea has.

After a short pause, Tang Haoran said firmly,

"In short, although it seems to be a little riskier to take Kanto, but now that the matter has begun, we must do it to the end. If you don't dare to take risks at this time, the consequences will be unimaginable. So ......"

Staring at everyone, Tang Haoran said almost word by word.

"Take Kanto for me! Turn our Korean Governor's Office into the Northeast Governor's Office! ”

Northeast Governor's Palace!

Tang Haoran's words obviously touched everyone's hearts, yes, anyway, such a big risk has been taken, even if you take some more risks, it will be a battle anyway, since you want to fight, let's fight together.

"My lord, according to the standard, although the occupation of Kanto will not be a big battle, it may still be fought, at least the tens of thousands of flag soldiers we will fight all the way over, but I estimate that with the new barracks of the second division, we can almost defeat them,"

Shang Dequan's suggestion immediately aroused Tang Zhaoyi's opposition.

"With recruits? If the recruits do not fight well, how will the whole country view Fuzhong at that time? And what will the Russians think of Fuchu? ”

Tang Zhaoyi's reminder. It made everyone think of it. The current Manchu is not the Manchu of a few decades ago. Fuchu sent troops to Korea, and there was also foreign influence, such as the influence of the Russians in the Kanto region.

"That's exactly what I was worried about!"

Nodding, Tang Zhaoyi looked at everyone and said.

"As far as my heart is concerned, Tang is a Han and a Chinese, so he is by no means willing to be a slave of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and you are not willing to do so. Fang Cai Yu Tang gathered in North Korea to seek the great cause of restoring the country and rejuvenating the nation. ”

Of course, no one will say this, if Tang Haoran did not have the top of the three products and the actual post of the prime minister of North Korea, the big guy would not follow him. The most fundamental reason why they came to Korea was that they belonged to the kind of people who were excluded from the Manchu court, and because of this, when they were affected by the "Huayi debate" in Korea, their inner dissatisfaction with the court turned into hostility, and deep down they were inevitably for the sake of their own greater future.

When speaking, Tang Haoran's eyes were always staring at Gu Hongming. Unlike all the high-ranking officials in the palace who have overseas experience cutting off their braids, his braids have not been cut off to this day. Even in another time and space, he kept braids until the Republic of China, and left the famous saying "The braids on my head are tangible, but the braids in your hearts are invisible".

"However, our strength makes it impossible for us to recover China in a short period of time, and even if the local Xinjiang officials respond en masse, we will have to face a reality -- we are powerless to suppress the local situation, and this situation may cause the local forces to sit on the throne, and even the local forces will confront the central government with the support of the Western powers, forming a situation of warlord chaos!"

This is exactly Tang Haoran's concern, even before the Hangzhou Uprising, he had conceived of sending a surprise army to attack Beijing, so as to settle the situation in one fell swoop, and create a situation where the local people responded in a group through the fall of Beijing, but if he really did this, what would the result be?

The Xinhai Revolution in another time and space is a lesson from the past, and after the Wuchang Uprising, the provinces responded to independence, which led to the collapse of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Then the first republic in Asia was formed, but what did the seemingly successful Xinhai Revolution bring to China? It is the warlord melee that has lasted for nearly 20 years, and it is the warlord melee that has lasted for decades that has destroyed China's last hope of prosperity and strength.

This is by no means acceptable to Tang Haoran, for him, he would rather spend ten years to prepare and accumulate strength, rather than risk trying to completely defeat the Manchu Qing before his own strength is not enough to stabilize the country, history will not leave China more time, let alone give himself enough time. It is precisely for this reason that, after the establishment of the General Staff, he instructed the General Staff to formulate a military plan aimed at "striving for semi-independent status" with the help of German instructors in the lecture hall.

This plan was naturally the plan that Shang Dequan had previously described, and according to this plan, the war was to start a truce in exchange for semi-reciprocity in status after the armistice.

"So, we must fight well, what is the purpose of this war? Not only to create a Northeast Governor's Palace, but also to create a semi-independent status, the first is to tear the window paper of the Manchu court, so that the local government can see the weakness of the Manchu court, so as to pave the way for the future. ”

Tang Haoran refers to the future when hundreds of thousands of troops from the Northeast go south in a few years or ten years, and he envisions that in this process, local forces and the Manchu court will contain each other, so as to win time for the development of the Northeast. But in the present view, this is the most in the immediate self-interest.

As for the future...... It's nothing more than knocking the enemy down!

"The second is to let foreigners know that the Manchu court is not to be followed, but we can still have some evidence!"

Speaking of this, Tang Haoran's eyebrows raised slightly,

"Russians, don't worry for the time being, the key is the British, Shaochuan, in your opinion, can we win the support of the British?"
