Aihui, together with Hailan Pao, which is not far away, and Jiangdong Thirty-six Tun, which is across the river, together form a wound that will never heal in the hearts of the Chinese -- Gengzi Russian disaster!

In July 1900, more than 7,000 innocent Chinese civilians were brutally tortured and killed! The perpetrator was none other than the greedy and ferocious northern invaders Tsarist Russia.

Forgetting history means betrayal, and today's peace and cooperation does not mean that we can ignore the hatred of the past. The unequal treaties imposed on the Chinese people and all kinds of inhumane killings will one day be completely liquidated.

In March 1909, Yang Hao and his special train came from afar with a body of wind and dust to nominally participate in the historic railway opening ceremony. But Gu Weijun and the rest of the entourages could clearly feel the intense murderous intent that permeated the mysterious young man!

The whistle of the train arriving at the station was high-pitched and melodious, Yang Hao dusted off his round-brimmed top hat and put it on his head, with a cold smile on his face, and said lightly: "The show is about to start, let's collect some interest from Tsarist Maozi first." Let's go. ”

Under the stars holding the moon, he stepped out of the special train without hurrying off his long legs.

In accordance with the requirements of the Tsarist side, the station built in full accordance with its strong Russian cultural atmosphere is spacious and tall, and the main body is composed of blocks of stone and reinforced concrete, which can not only withstand the test of the cold and freezing climate in the northeast, but also stand tall for a hundred years without falling, and when the war breaks out, it will immediately turn into a strong fortress, and it will not be a problem at all to resist heavy artillery bombardment.

Gu Weijun has never participated in the construction of the China Eastern Railway, and the young people's hearts are full of pride in the strength and invincibility of Greater China. Suddenly discovering that such an important building appeared on his own land, it immediately touched his sensitive nerves, his face suddenly tensed, and his eyes became extremely serious.

"Humph! What did those people think at the beginning? We don't need to make any concessions to Tsarist Russia at all. It's forgiving enough to let them borrow the road, how can they still build these according to their requests. ”

I can't help it, I have to say, I am young and enthusiastic, and I can't rub sand in my eyes.

Yang Hao patted the leather gloves lightly, and said with a smile: "I want to catch a big fish." Of course, you have to be willing to give up the bait. Compared with the lofty goal of recovering 600,000 square kilometers of land, there is nothing wrong with making false promises to the enemy for the time being. In the future, when you do diplomacy, you can't always rely on the strength of the country and go straight to the confrontation with others, right? ”

Gu Weijun's face was slightly embarrassed, realizing that he had lost his words.

He studied law and diplomacy, and now he is doing diplomatic work, and there is an old qualified diplomat who is a minister to ask for advice at any time, where can he not understand the mysteries?

Not to mention. His father was a master, and he has been exposed to it since he was a child, and he knows that he must pay attention to harmony when doing things. Even if you have the ability to overwhelm Mount Tai, you must try to do it quietly. Most of the time, you have to be both rigid and soft to achieve the Tao.

Today's China is a fierce rival in the eyes of the world's powers, a hegemon that challenges the entire Western civilization, and is a hegemon in international affairs. Overt and covertly, they will be subject to all-round hostility and constraints.

If China takes every step out of the country, it will be loud and loud, making gongs and drums noisy. I'm afraid that if I don't wait for the step to take a step, I will provoke a lot of stumbling blocks and make it bad.

If you take every step forward, you have to fight against countless enemies and cooperate with each other, I am afraid that it will not take a few times, and you will be exhausted. Not to mention, the cost of that would be high. Nor is it something that the nation can afford.

With the cooperation in the construction of the Middle East Road, secretly calculating the Russian Maozi, and plotting to recover the 600,000 square kilometers of land forcibly occupied by the unequal treaty, such a big plan not only represents astronomical interests, but also the restoration of national dignity. It is also China that has straightened out its internal affairs and begun to fire the first shot towards world domination!

If you can't be cautious and foolproof, you are afraid that you will fail from the beginning.

Any action that threatens Western civilization will invite a mass siege. No matter how much the European powers did not want to see Tsarist Russia, they were all related by blood, and they were all white people and partners under the same religious system. At the critical moment, we will inevitably join forces again.

Yang Hao stopped, walked slowly along the heavily guarded special train platform, and casually gave a lesson to a group of young people behind him: "When the Middle East Road was built, the conditions proposed by Tsarist Russia were no different from those of the colonization of the great powers. It not only requires the exploration of the geological environment along the road, but also requires the development of resources within a certain distance on both sides of the railway. Such an impudent condition was categorically rejected by us. After that, it was a three-year revolving. ”

Gu Weijun and the others used their brains and tried to search for relevant information from their memories. But these things happened ten years ago, they were only ten years old at the time, and the Qing Dynasty had not yet perished.

Different from the history of this world, Li Zhongtang of the second plane established Asian hegemony early because of the rise of Yang Hao, a series of victories against the sea and land attacks of foreign powers, and the Qing court was expelled all the way to Xi'an.

Thus, under the bravery of the advanced battleships, the treacherous and cunning Lord Zhongtang began his visit to the United States, and continued to accumulate prestige and momentum all the way, and by the time he arrived in Moscow, he was already covered with medals and high hopes of various countries, and the kings and ministers of the European powers endorsed them one after another, and sent the most decent men to accompany him.

The arrogant, shallow, ambitious and talented Nicholas II couldn't afford to bully and squeeze courage at all. In this way, there is no chance to fool and coax Lao Li to sign a secret agreement.

After that, due to the lack of clarity in China's sovereignty, Tsarist Russia negotiated with the Empress Dowager Cixi of Xijiao, but the result was ineffective, and the new government ignored them. In a hurry, Tsarist Russia tried to create a conflict in 1899, but at the beginning, it was beaten hard by the frontier army that had taken precautions early!

From the beginning of the large-scale development and migration of Northeast China in 1895 to the official founding of the People's Republic of China in 1900, the new government frantically built railways in Beida for five years, and stretched until Yilan (Jiamusi) and Huachuan before it was temporarily stopped.

The Frontier Construction Corps expanded all the way early, sprinkling enough strongholds that could accommodate millions of immigrants along the way, and finally based on a huge development team of up to 200,000 soldiers and civilians, fighting the heavens and the earth!

This is the B-plane version of the Great Northern Wilderness.

In the following years, a large number of landless peasants from the northern provinces of the country went north, enriching the various resettlement sites along the way, and traveled thousands of miles to Harbin as the center. Advance to the new city that extends out of the various border areas of Heilongjiang.

At this point, Tsarist Maozi found that if they didn't think of a way, their "Yellow Russia" plan would be aborted!

In desperation, Nicholas II again sent someone to negotiate with China. This time, they did not dare to shout the conditions so outrageous, but only insisted on the ownership and right of way of the railway.

The Chinese government, for its part, has already completed the drawing up of a comprehensive plan. The special representative of the head of state, Yuan Shikai (yes, that guy) came forward and started a two-year bargain. In the end, the two sides signed a cooperation agreement that you are willing to use.

The Tsarist side contributed all the funds, and the China Railway Construction Group was responsible for the line planning, exploration, design and construction.

After the completion of the railway, the operation of the section of the railway in China will be handled by the "China Eastern Railway Company", which is jointly controlled by both parties, and the two sides will use half of the manpower. The same is true for the proportional distribution of benefits.

The special convenience that Tsarist Russia received was that its trains passing through China were not restricted in any way, whether you were transporting arms or various resources, China did not interfere, and all profits belonged to the railway companies. In short, as long as the Russian Maozi does not commit his own mistakes and violate Chinese laws, they are all safe.

For a large country, such a contract can be called "loss of power and humiliation of the country".

Because it is too humiliating for the Chinese who want to die to save face. The details of the contract were very tacitly covered up and not made public.

In the following three years, China Railway Construction began to work overtime to build the building. By February 1909. Finally, the three major transportation branch lines with Harbin as the center, southwest through Manchuria into Siberia, north through Aihui across Heilongjiang to Kelekaqihe, southeast through Jilin to Shuangchengzi, Vladivostok three major transportation branches.

At the same time, the longitudinal line from Chengde through Chifeng, Kailu and Taonan to Longjiang was also completed and opened to traffic.

Yang Hao gave them a brief explanation of the past confrontation and game between the two countries that had lasted for more than ten years, and the team also walked to the middle of the platform, at the end of the long red carpet specially laid to greet them.

He turned. Looking around at the crowd, they said loudly: "The completion of the Middle East Road, although it was fully funded by Tsarist Russia, my country has gained a lot of benefits. But in the long run, they are the ones who really benefit the most. According to the custom of our Chinese, we must not do things that are cheap and good. It will not spoil the atmosphere when the cooperation is in the honeymoon period. But Tsarist Russia chose a place like Aihui to celebrate, you say, what kind of heart are they at? ”

Gu Weijun couldn't hold it back for a long time, and said angrily: "This is testing our bottom line of tolerance, and it is even more provoking us!" ”

The Aihui Treaty was the most unequal treaty signed by China that caused the most damage. Compared with the specific amounts of the world's indemnity against Japan and Gengzi, its value is immeasurable! The long-term impact caused by it is irreversible after a hundred years of bloodshed and sacrifice!

Not to mention anything else, just to guard against the Soviet army in the Far East, New China, which was poor and white, had to maintain a million-strong army in the west and north all the year round, and was worried about the crisis of the armored iron flow in the north for a long time! All kinds of major decisions in the past few decades, and the lives of hundreds of millions of people in China for several generations, have been affected by this!

At the beginning of the 20th century, concepts such as geopolitics had only just emerged, and they were far from being well known and grasped by the political elites of various countries. The mediocre head of Tsarist Russia, Nicholas II, was only bent on consolidating the territory left by his father, and he did not know what kind of grand vision it was to occupy large swaths of the Far East, have Vladivostok outlets, and even create "Yellow Russia".

But in the twentieth century, luck was not on China's side. At a time when the Western powers were plunged into many major wars in a row, it was an era of fierce turbulence in China that had undergone great changes unseen in 3,000 years! A hundred years of vicissitudes of life, a complete breakdown, paid for countless generations of sacrifices, and the rebirth of the entire nation!

It was an oppression that was so embarrassing that it was desperate, and anyone with insight could look at it as far as the eye could see, and there was no light or hope to be found.

Only in this way, even if they find a little bit of light, they will not hesitate to devote themselves to it, forgetting to die, although they still have no regrets!

This kind of great sentiment is by no means understood by the young people who sit in an air-conditioned room in the 21st century, comfortably typing on the keyboard and picking and choosing. Those fools who ask "how can revolutionaries resist torture to extract confessions" are even more waste of food!

However, at the beginning of the twentieth century in this B-plane. An entire generation of China's outstanding young people has received an education far more advanced than in the past. Those who have studied at the university and can work in the government department must have a broad vision.

Young people engaged in diplomacy have first studied various theories of military and political struggle, and of course they can understand the intentions of Tsarist Mao Tzu in this regard.

Understanding is understanding, but it doesn't mean that you can be as forbearant as the old foxes.

Yang Hao said with a smile: "The Russians are exactly what they want to provoke our emotions to get out of control. That's how they can find excuses to create friction. Over the past few years, we have been working hard to build a border defense line, and they have not stopped thickening their military strength. On the opposite side alone, Amur Province alone has no less than 100,000 heavy troops. ”

Gu Weijun and the others changed their complexions when they heard this, and exclaimed: "Could it be that they have long been ready to start a war?!" ”

One hundred thousand, not a small number!

Don't forget, on the Sino-Russian border, there is a sea and land garrison of Vladivostok on the east side, at least 350,000. Baikal Province, opposite Manchuria, also has to ask for 180,000. In the Heilongjiang-Mongolia front alone, I am afraid that there will always be 300,000 troops.

You know, there are not a total of 5 million people in the Russian Far East today, and they don't have to do anything else to support such a large military force!

What else could it be for so many troops to be here for no reason?

Yang Hao nodded gently: "Yes!" Had it not been for the changes in the Balkans, Nicholas II's energies would have been devoted to trying to gain control of the Black Sea passages. We are also in control of the process of railway construction, and I am afraid that the arrogant Tsarist Russia has already provoked disputes. ”

Gu Weijun and the others suddenly felt that their brains were not enough. How did you get to the Balkans? This big chess game seems to be a little bigger! In the end, the smart minds of the top of the government. How big a plan can you calculate so deeply?

They did not suspect the problem of Tsarist Russia's provocation.

That's right, in the revolutionary war more than ten years ago, Maozi suffered a lot of losses both at sea and on land. Until now, the Tsarist Russian Navy has not been able to become stronger, and it does not dare to make trouble with the Chinese Navy at all.

But on the Army side. They've built up a whopping four million! Compared to the number of Chinese regular army, which is only one million, it is simply scary!

In terms of equipment, the stingy Maozi was finally radicalized, and finally equipped all soldiers with Mosin Nagant single-shot rifles, and popularized water-cooled machine guns to the company. Artillery. They not only developed small and medium-caliber howitzers with excellent performance, but even manufactured 152mm cannons with a range of up to 14,200 meters, and 122mm howitzers with superior performance!

It is estimated that in the front-to-face combat zone, they have deployed no less than 1,000 cannons, which can be described as strong soldiers!

Such a powerful force gave Nicholas II a hundred times more confidence. The sea can't kill you Chinese, the army, take the number of people and artillery to kill you!

Yang Hao did not explain all the problems to them clearly, but he was more impressed by the independent thinking of the problems.

The personnel who came to greet them were led by an old acquaintance - a little thief named Ryazan who was almost killed by Yang Hao with a Liuyang flower cannon. In the past fifteen years, he has grown into a calm and experienced military leader, and he is the commander of the Heilongjiang armed forces!

Six-year-old Ryazan looks capable and strong today, and his body is full Chinese New Year's Eve of evil, but he no longer recognizes Yang Hao, who was disguised by "Yan Huangding", and he can't imagine that this guy is the terrible young man who captured him single-handedly.

In line with the incomparable respect for His Excellency the Führer, Ryazan showed great respect for Yang Hao, the special envoy, and not only personally greeted him on the platform, but was the first to come forward and shake hands and greet him.

Yang Hao looked at him quietly, and said with a smile: "Commander Liang doesn't have to be polite. At the moment, the situation is surging, and you need to be in the center to preside over the defense. We, the uninvited guests, try not to cause you any trouble. ”

Ryazan was not polite, and nodded solemnly: "Thank you Mr. Yang for your understanding!" If you have any needs, please feel free to let us know. ”

Yang Hao raised his eyebrows, and actually made a direct move: "I heard that there have been horse bandits in Hailan Pao that have been extremely rampant recently, did Commander Liang order someone to clean it up, and let them affect the grand celebration of Sino-Russian cooperation?" ”

Ryazan's eyes flashed, and he suddenly understood, and the corners of his mouth lifted, revealing a bloodthirsty smile: "I'll arrange it!" (To be continued......)
