The army continued to rush in the direction of Tianjin, and then the Marine Division took the lead. Because they were going to cross the Yellow River next, they couldn't do without the landing capabilities of the Marine Division. As for arriving at the mouth of the Yellow River, the marines discovered that there were more than 10,000 troops at the mouth of the Yellow River who were erecting fortifications opposite the mouth of the Yellow River for defense, and then they obviously wanted to prevent these Taiwanese troops from continuing northward. This made Li Yuanhong very anxious, because if he did not break through the Qing army's defense line here, he was afraid that it would be difficult to erect a pontoon bridge to cross the Yellow River and continue north. But if you rush to fight them, then according to Wang Guorui's order, whether you can avoid a civil war or avoid a civil war, so this makes Li Yuanhong very anxious and doesn't know what to do.

On the opposite side, Wang Shizhen, Duan Qirui, and Feng Guozhang, who were in charge of defense, were here to arrange defense, and they were the generals of this Shandong New Army. Their boss is Yuan Shikai, but now Yuan Shikai actually arranged for them to defend the Taiwanese army and continue to go north, which made some of them very dissatisfied.

"Lord Yuan, really, let us defend against our own people? I hope to be able to go to Tianjin to fight with foreigners once, so that even if I die, I will not be able to read this life in vain. But now he actually wants to fight with his own people in Taiwan, not to mention that everyone is also coming to Qinwang to support, what is this called! Duan Qirui scolded.

Feng Guozhang also said: "Yes, we are all at this time, and the imperial court has not forgotten to stop the Taiwan army." You must know that the armies of foreign devils are about to attack in the direction of the capital, and they will start attacking the capital in a short time, and they have not forgotten to squeeze out the Taiwanese. This is simply madness, and it is really unreasonable to use our limited forces for civil war at this time. ”

Although the Taiwanese officers of the Boxer Rebellion were constantly delaying the armies of these foreigners, the armies of these foreigners were still able to keep advancing, and the guerrillas of the Boxers were only able to play a role in delaying the other side. However, Wang Guorui's order only made them sluggish. It's not that you have to fight with foreign devils. Therefore, those Boxers were also very careful, and would never take the initiative to fight positional warfare with those foreigners, because they knew that they would definitely not be able to fight positional warfare with their weapons. They only waited for reinforcements by delaying the enemy, but this delayed enemy still could not completely stop the enemy, so the armies of various countries continued to attack. And Akashi Genjiro also told Wang Guorui about the situation of the coalition forces of various countries at any time, and told him where the coalition forces of various countries are now.

But Wang Shizhen said: "The court has no choice. Now these Taiwanese people have actually taken the initiative to attack, which is really very difficult for us to do. The Queen Mother is also worried that if these Taiwanese enter the capital, they can come to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, so that the Qing Dynasty will be finished. So the emperor and the queen mother have no choice, and they are really helpless! ”

"Hmph, I'd rather be a friend than a house slave!" Duan Qirui suddenly snorted coldly.

And Wang Shizhen wanted to say something, but in the end he still didn't say it.

Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang were both Yuan Shikai's subordinates. has always obeyed Yuan Shikai's orders. But Wang Shizhen is different, Wang Shizhen is a loyal minister of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he has always followed the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he still has a heart for the Manchu Qing Dynasty in his heart. So now when they heard Duan Qirui's words, they all wanted to be angry, but they suddenly found that they couldn't be angry at all. What the Manchus did this time was too ridiculous, and they were obviously suffering from aggression, so they were still wary of their own people. And when Taiwan enters the capital, it must be to blackmail the princes of the Son of Heaven. This is already something that everyone knows. However, there are still many people on the mainland who want Taiwan, because everyone knows that once Taiwan enters the mainland. I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything. Countless people hope to be able to take refuge in the "new monarch" in time, and then have a meritorious service. Especially those feudal officials, some of them are thinking about how to sell their land at a good price. And Wang Guorui has also promised more than once that he will not carry out retaliatory massacres against the Manchus. Although the Manchus were to be reduced to second-class citizens, some second-class citizens could still be restored to first-class citizens, and even Wang Guorui promised that if they performed well in the future, they could also promote the entire nation to first-class citizens.

As long as there is money anyway. That's not where you can get by. The first and second classes of citizens in this country are just differences in political suffrage rights and some social welfare, and they are the same in law and education, and there is no hierarchy, so they don't care about this. Even some Han governors secretly sent their distant sons and nephews to Taiwan's subordinates and began to serve Taiwan. There are not a few people who are so duplicitous. So everyone is not optimistic about this Qing Dynasty. Wang Shizhen was also anxious in his heart, but now Wang Guorui is here. Their Yellow River estuary is an important road, so if Wang Guorui can be blocked here at the mouth of the Yellow River, it will still be possible. Once Wang Guorui enters the capital, I am afraid that Wang Guorui will control the center, so that the princes will not fall into the hands of Wang Guorui?

Now don't say that the Han people have changed their minds, even the Manchus have begun to have the idea of surrendering. I don't know who wore the news, Wang Guorui wants to marry Yu Geng's two daughters in the future, which makes many Manchurians breathe a sigh of relief. Because if Wang Guorui marries Yu Geng's two daughters, it means that all the nobles can be safe, and they are not afraid of being killed by Wang Guorui's revenge. Therefore, many nobles have also begun to change their attitudes, as long as they can ensure their worth and wealth, then what is there to worry about next? As for whether the country is Manchu or Han, many Manchus from the bottom will not care on the premise of ensuring their lives. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, not to mention pure Manchus, there were not many people who could speak Manchu. Even many royal nobles don't know where they have been lost, let alone those ordinary Manchus. There has long been no difference between Manchus and Han Chinese, just a matter of paper. So the Manchurians didn't have much aversion to Dingge.

"General, there is a small boat opposite, it should belong to the Taiwanese army, with a white flag on it, can we fight it?" Someone asked right away.

"Let's not fight yet, let's see what he's up to!" Duan Qirui said.

Soon, those small boats immediately drove to the middle of the Yellow River, and then shouted loudly: "Listen to the Qing army on the other side, we are the army of Taiwan." We are all Chinese soldiers, and we are now going to Tianjin to support and fight against the foreigners. I hope you can make way for us to fight the foreigners. We are all Chinese troops, and our Chinese army cannot afford to have internal friction on our own! We Chinese do not fight Chinese, otherwise it will be a matter of relatives and enemies. ”

"We go to support Tianjin, we can't do this kind of thing that the relatives and enemies are happy, the Chinese don't fight the Chinese!"

The small boat in the middle of the mouth of the Yellow River kept shouting at the Qing New Army on the other side of the Yellow River with a loudspeaker, and then hoped that they would make way for them. And shouting the slogan that the Chinese do not fight the Chinese, hoping that they will not block it. And this slogan is very useful, many of those Qing Dynasty new troops know about Taiwan and know about their fight against foreigners for the sake of the country. Even many of the new soldiers are international students, and they clearly feel that since the Taiwanese army defeated several countries, the status of their overseas Chinese has improved more than a notch. Now some second- and third-rate countries in Europe do not dare to despise the Chinese. Especially in the Netherlands, because Wang Guorui married their queen, although they may not be able to regard the Chinese as high-level citizens, they also have the power they should have, so that the Chinese are even more respected.

Therefore, these foreign students and officers of the Qing army still have a very good impression of Taiwan in their hearts, and now they know that these troops are Taiwan's troops, and the Taiwanese army shouts that Chinese do not fight Chinese, which obviously makes them very uncomfortable in their hearts.

"Brothers of the Qing army opposite, we are all Chinese, and we should fight side by side on the battlefield against foreign enemies together, instead of killing each other here. We are soldiers, and we should not take care of political affairs, we should just protect our families and defend the country. We don't want you to join us in fighting the foreigners, we just hope that you don't stop us, we want to go to the north to fight the invasion of the foreigners, so that we can protect our capital. Therefore, I hope that all the Qing army brothers will give way to us, we don't want to fight you. We are all Chinese, Chinese do not fight Chinese! ”

"Brothers of the Qing army, did you hear that? We Chinese don't fight Chinese! ”

As more and more boats began to shout, the entire Yellow River was filled with the shouting of Li Yuanhong's marines, and the new troops under Yuan Shikai also felt a little disappointed. And they don't know whether to fight or not, thinking that if the Taiwan army attacks, they don't say whether they can rely on more than 10,000 people to defend against Taiwan's more than 100,000 troops, but say that if Taiwan's navy joins the attack, I am afraid they will all lose everything. However, the Taiwan army did not take the initiative to attack, and it was already very polite. Taiwan's such a strong strength has not attacked, that is not enough to show Taiwan's strength, because I really do not want the Chinese to fight a civil war!

"Brother Qing Jun on the other side, did you hear that? Did you hear that? If you hear it, please answer, if you hear it, please answer, I hope you don't do things that are happy for relatives and enemies! (To be continued......)
