After the signing of the armistice treaty with Russia, it soon spread throughout the four northeastern provinces, which made the four northeastern provinces suddenly become a sea of joy, and the people rushed to tell each other that our northeast under the leadership of Lin Dashuai, defeated the invincible Lao Maozi, and grabbed the place that was larger than 5 in the four northeastern provinces, and also made Lao Maozi lose a sum of money.

The sound of firecrackers and cheers resounded across the four northeastern provinces, and the people celebrated the long-awaited victory in various ways.

After the armistice treaty between Lin Daxin and the Russians spread around the world, all countries calmly accepted the expected news, after all, the situation in Russia was there, if he did not choose to cease war with Lin Daxin, Tsar Nicholas II would have to drive the rebels out of the Kremlin.

The most shocked were those in the Manchu court, after the Empress Dowager Cixi received the armistice treaty signed by Lin Daxin and Russia, she immediately summoned Prince Gong Yixin into the Xinuan Pavilion of the Forbidden City, and ordered Prince Gong Yixin to start preparations immediately.

According to Lin Daxin's temper, if the court dares to speak, he will definitely send troops to get Xinjiang into his hands, and maybe add some interest on sending troops. Occupy a few more places.

Prince Gong Yixin sighed and said, "Queen Mother, the minister will arrange it." I won't let Lin Daxin's rebellion find any excuse, it's not good for the court! ”

Empress Dowager Cixi said with a wry smile: "I really didn't expect our dignified Qing Dynasty to fall to such a point. The rebellious to Lin Daxin kept ceding the land, and if this continued, the entire Qing Dynasty would have to be occupied by that rebel. ”

Prince Gong Yixin also smiled helplessly, originally thought that the new army trained by the imperial court could resist Lin Daxin's Dingbei Army and keep the court safe, but now it seems that it is tantamount to an idiot's dream, Lin Daxin's Dingbei Army has even defeated millions of Russian troops, not to mention such a new army in the imperial court. If Lin Daxin really wants to wave his troops south, with the strength of the imperial court's army, it is basically equivalent to the end of the Qing Dynasty.

The Empress Dowager Cixi can only hope in her heart now that she will not provoke Lin Daxin, so that Lin Daxin has no excuse to wave her troops south, as for what will happen in the future, she can only take one step at a time.

Empress Dowager Cixi paused for a moment and then said: "In addition, Prince Gong, the original plan for Li Hongzhang has been temporarily stopped, since Li Hongzhang is about to breathe out of Lin Daxin's nostrils, if we get rid of Li Hongzhang." If Lin Daxin doesn't get mad like this, then our court will suffer. ”

Since Li Hongzhang ignored the orders of the imperial court and sent the Beiyang Army and the Lao Huai Army to the front line to fight against the Russians, the imperial court had to ask Lin Daxin for help. Let Lin Daxin refuse Li Hongzhang's Beiyang Army and Lao Huai Army to go to the front line, so that the imperial court had to give up Xinjiang to Lin Daxin, and the Empress Dowager Cixi's dissatisfaction with Li Hongzhang broke through the patience value. All erupted, so the Empress Dowager Cixi ordered Prince Gong Yixin to start arranging a series of arrangements. is ready to get rid of Li Hongzhang, the big man of the Beiyang system who has completely broken away from Cixi's control.

However, Li Hongzhang's Beiyang system is not something that Cixi can move when she says it, and Prince Gong Yixin has been arranging it for almost half a year. Nothing was done.

In fact, Prince Gong Yixin knew in his heart that not to mention that Li Hongzhang controlled the largest armed group in the entire Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the elite of the Beiyang New Army and the Lao Huai Army combined with hundreds of thousands of troops, if the imperial court got rid of Li Hongzhang, maybe these hundreds of thousands of troops would rebel against the imperial court under the leadership of Li Hongzhang's henchmen. And Lin Daxin may ignore the fact that he is fighting with the Russians, and immediately send troops to the south to avenge Li Hongzhang, which is really a disaster for the Qing Dynasty, so Prince Gong Yixin made some arrangements, but did not order an action against Li Hongzhang, and has been perfunctory Cixi still needs to continue some arrangements before starting to carry out the action against Li Hongzhang.

Now listening to the meaning of the Empress Dowager Cixi, Prince Gong Yixin hurriedly nodded, and also breathed a sigh of relief, saying that he would immediately order his subordinates to stop the plan against Li Hongzhang.

After Emperor Guangxu got the specific content of the armistice treaty between Lin Daxin and the Russians, he summoned Yuan Shikai, the commander of the Dingwu Army, to the Palace of Nourishing Heart, and Emperor Guangxu sighed and said helplessly: "Yuan Aiqing, don't provoke Lin Daxin in the future, we can't bear the consequences." ”

Yuan Shikai said in his heart, although I provoked Lin Daxin last time, although I had my own selfishness, but it was also the emperor who ordered me to send someone to the northeast, and as a result, I lost my daughter, and I haven't ended up well, now Lin Daxin's power is getting stronger and stronger, and even the Russians have been defeated in the hands of Lin Daxin, so that Lin Daxin has seized more than 5 million square kilometers of land at once, and also pulled out 15 million pounds of compensation from the Russians, what a big piece of land and what a huge amount of money, where do you still have the courage to provoke Lin Daxin.

So Yuan Shikai almost swore to the sky and said: "The emperor can rest assured, the minister will never take the initiative to provoke Lin Daxin in the future." ”

At Li Hongzhang's mansion in Beijing, Li Hongzhang took a piece of paper on the specific content of the armistice treaty between Lin Daxin and the Russians, and said with a laugh to Nie Shicheng, the commander of the Wuwei Army: "Hahaha, happy! I didn't expect Lao Maozi to have today, that Lin Daxin's kid suddenly seized more than 5 million square kilometers of territory and made a huge amount of money, and the old man didn't mistake that kid. ”

Nie Shicheng nodded and said: "I didn't expect that the European region of Russia would suddenly become chaotic, so that the Russians could not hold on, but the European region of Russia was not chaotic, and according to the previous war between the two sides, the Russians must be defeated in the end." ”

After a pause, Nie Shicheng continued: "Zhongtang, my subordinates have found that someone has bribed the military attachés of the Beiyang Army under my command, these people should all be members of the imperial court, is the imperial court going to deal with us Beiyang?" ”

Li Hongzhang sneered and said: "There is also such a situation in the old Huaijun, it seems that Cixi hurt the old man last time, so she had to take out Xinjiang to Lin Daxin's kid." I already hold a grudge and really want to deal with the old man. Hmph, if the old man's subordinates were so easy to buy. There is no Beiyang today! The relationship between the old man and Lin Daxin's kid is no longer than it was at the beginning, now that Lin Daxin has defeated the Russians, his power has become even greater, Cixi does not dare to be so unscrupulous towards the old man, don't worry, it will be fine. ”

Nie Shicheng said viciously: "If the Empress Dowager Cixi really dares to do anything unfavorable to Zhongtang, my 300,000 Beiyang Army and Lao Huai Army will definitely seek justice for Zhongtang!" ”

Li Hongzhang smiled and patted Nie Shicheng's shoulder, although Li Hongzhang didn't care what he said, in fact, Li Hongzhang has been in the imperial court since he found out. That is, after the Empress Dowager Cixi wants to deal with him, she has already made a targeted arrangement, if it is really time to turn her face, I don't know who will deal with whom!

After the news of the armistice between Lin Daxin and the Russians, the Meiji Emperor of Japan hurriedly summoned Japanese Prime Minister Hirobumi Ito, Foreign Minister Mutsu Munemitsu, and Commander of the Combined Fleet, Heihachiro Togo, to the palace.

Emperor Meiji, who had a very bad face, said: "I didn't expect the Russians to be unable to hold it all of a sudden, which disrupted our plans, what do you say our Great Japanese Empire should do next?" Is this plan still being implemented? ”

It turned out that Japan in the first half of 1899. The reorganization of the Combined Fleet has been completed, and the Combined Fleet already has 18 all-steel battleships, 12 large armored cruisers, 28 protective cruisers, 16 destroyers, 40 torpedo boats, and 20 small gunboats. After all these years of training, at least the requirements for going to sea for combat have been met.

The Army's new divisions and regiments were also completed, bringing the number of Japan's standing divisions to 47 at once. With nearly one million troops, the strength of the army is already on par with that of Germany and France.

As a result, the entire Japanese top brass began to be impatient. Secretly sending additional troops to Japan-controlled South Korea, 18 Japanese Army Standing Divisions have been assembled in South Korea. The Japanese top leaders are also preparing to continue to strengthen the strength of the troops stationed in south Korea and to increase the strength of the south Korean army to 30 standing divisions, and the Japanese top leaders are secretly planning to launch a surprise attack on Yalu River Province in northeast China while Lin Daxin is in a fierce war with Russia, and to go war without declaring war.

In addition, the Japanese Combined Fleet also sent camouflage ships to reconnoiter the situation of various bases of the Northeast Navy, preparing to launch a sneak attack on the Northeast Navy at the same time as the army started.

In fact, the reason why the Japanese dared to do this was because although Lin Daxin's Dingbei Army had an advantage in the war with the Russians, the losses were not small, and the Japanese even believed that Tsar Nicholas II boasted of a great victory in buying and selling the city and annihilating the Dingbei Army of 300,000 nonsense, which made the Japanese determined to launch a surprise attack and undeclared war when the Dingbei Army and the Russian army were both defeated.

Although the strength of the rebuilt Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet is much weaker than that of the Northeast Navy, the commander of the Combined Fleet, Heihachiro Togo, has drawn up a perfect plan for a sneak attack, which, if successful, will inflict heavy damage on the Northeast Navy and close the gap in strength between the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet and the Northeast Navy.

As a result, the Japanese had not yet completed the pre-war arrangement, and the Russians were deflated, and signed an armistice treaty with Lin Daxin that humiliated the country, which made these high-level Japanese people embarrassed, and they were not busy for a period of time!

Hearing Emperor Meiji's question, Japanese Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, now that Lin Daxin has ceased war with the Russians, the minister thinks that the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the northeast has been missed, we only have 18 divisions in south Korea now, and when we transport the remaining 12 divisions to south Korea according to the plan, the main force of the Dingbei Army has already returned to the northeast, and we will not have much chance at that time." ”

Foreign Minister Mutsu Munemitsu did not agree with Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi's words, and he said to Emperor Meiji: "Your Majesty the Emperor, I think that it is time to take advantage of the fact that the main force of the Dingbei Army has not yet returned to the Northeast, and we do not have to wait for all 30 divisions to enter South Korea, and directly use the current 18 divisions to immediately launch an attack on the Yalu River Province in the Northeast, and then we will take the local troops to the front line while fighting, and strive to defeat the Dingbei Army and occupy the four northeastern provinces, as well as Mongolia, the Far East and half of Siberia!" His Majesty the Emperor, that's at least 8.7 million square kilometers of land! ”

When Emperor Meiji heard that there were 8.7 million square kilometers of land, he couldn't help but swallow it, this piece of fat was too big, too tempting, and it was not possible to break Japan.

Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi frowned and said: "Mutsu Aojun, you must know that Lin Daxin's Dingbei Army in Yalu River Province has not been mobilized in the war with the Russians, according to the intelligence of the Imperial Intelligence Department, the Dingbei Army in Yalu River Province has 3 35,000 A division and 5 20,000 B divisions, with more than 200,000 troops, which is to guard against our Japanese Empire, and there are many Dingbei Army troops in the three provinces of Liaoning, Jilin, and Heilongjiang in the northeast, which can reinforce Yalu River Province at any time. We in South Korea now have only 18 divisions and 360,000 troops, can we achieve the desired results? ”

Foreign Minister Mutsu Munemitsu said, "Ito-kun, war is an adventure, and if we want to take revenge and occupy a vast land, we must still be worth the risk." ”

At this time, Emperor Meiji turned his head to look at the commander of the Combined Fleet, Heihachiro Togo, who had not spoken, and asked, "Togo-kun, what do you have to build?" In addition, is the Navy sure of defeating the Northeast Navy? ”

Heihachiro Togo opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the sneak attack plan formulated by our combined fleet can severely damage one or two fleets of the Northeast Navy, but the Northeast Navy now has 6 large fleets, and even after the successful sneak attack, our combined fleet can only barely cope with the counterattack of the Northeast Navy and ensure that the sea supremacy does not fall into the hands of the Northeast Navy. The minister did not understand the situation of the army and did not dare to talk nonsense. ”

Emperor Meiji listened to Togo Heihachiro's words, and secretly sighed, he spent so much money into the navy, and the best outcome was that after the naval combined fleet attacked the Northeast Navy, he could barely cope with the counterattack of the Northeast Navy, which was really helpless.

Foreign Minister Mutsu Munemitsu asked Emperor Meiji, "Your Majesty the Emperor, is our battle plan still being implemented?" After all, this opportunity is too rare, and if our plan for Great Japan succeeds, the rewards for our Great Japanese Empire will be too rich! ”

Emperor Meiji also knew how great the reward would be if he succeeded, but if he didn't, what would await Japan, and Emperor Meiji knew very well that the tragic situation in Tokyo was still vivid.

Emperor Meiji finally sighed and said, "This emperor will think about it again!" However, the army should not stop increasing its troops in south Korea, even if we do not launch this plan, south Korea will also deploy a considerable number of land forces in the future to guard against the Dingbei Army under the command of Lin Daxin.
