After mutual probing, neither East nor Russia had the desire to reach a conclusion on the negotiations, so the interval between the talks began to lengthen. Within four months of the end of the war with the Russians, the Wangyi Tong Guò Price Alliance recruited 180,000 men from the southern provinces, of which 100,000 built fortified military ports at Vladivostok and Shuangchengzi, 50,000 built the first and second forts at Yaksa and Mohe, and the remaining 30,000 built the second fort at Temple Street.

Half a month ago, the Yaksa Fortress was initially completed, with 20,000 defenders, including 5,000 cavalry, 8,000 infantry, 4,000 artillery, 3,000 logistics troops, 20 105mm guns, and 30 75mm guns. As for the fortress artillery...... Still don't think about it, it's no drama in the short term.

It didn't take long for the Mohe Fortress to be built, with 10,000 garrisons, 2,000 cavalry, 3,500 infantry, 2,500 artillery, 2,000 logistics troops, 10 105mm guns, and 20 75mm guns.

There are two piers between the two fortresses, and there are small gunboats patrolling the upper and lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River, and cargo ships are constantly coming and going.

It didn't take long for the Temple Street Fortress to be completed, with a garrison of 15,000 people, 4,000 cavalry, 4,000 infantry, 4,000 artillery, 3,000 logistics troops, and 1,000 sailors. Fifteen 105mm guns and twenty 75mm guns.

Wang Yi did not build any other fortresses, for the simple reason that he had no soldiers in his hands. Even among the soldiers in these three fortresses, nearly half of them are new recruits who have just completed their training. Of the 80,000 laborers who completed the construction of the fortress, 50,000 were arranged by Wang Yi in Mohe and Huma within the boundaries of Heilongjiang. Of the 30,000 people in Temple Street, 10,000 remained in the local area, and 17,000 people were arranged in Boli, Niman, and Huaxin. Another 3,000 people volunteered to go to Sakhalin, 1,000 lived all over the island, and about 2,000 became garrisons on it.

The Dashang Railway Construction Company has now entered the Northeast Republic and has completed the railway from Dongning to Vladivostok via Shuangchengzi. Manpower is now being concentrated on the construction of the railway from the Twin Cities to Niman, Huaxin, and Burleigh.

The time is June, Wang Yi is already fourteen years old, 175 tall, looks the same as the previous life, grandma does not hurt, uncle does not love, ordinary to the limit. Today he is in a good mood, because the first electric real railway in Dashang was opened, and now he is presiding over the test ceremony.

"This is another take-off for our Dashang Railway Company......"

She Fatzi whispered to Zhang Quanbao in the audience: "I heard that Li Hongzhang and Master Li, according to the request of Tang Tingshu of the Kaiping Mining Bureau, 'folded and performed' two years ago, and asked the imperial court to allow him to build a 45-kilometer-long coal railway between Tangshan and Lutai on the bank of the Beitang River. Prince Gong Yi 60 supported this, believing that the construction of the railway in the mine would not cause any adverse effects, just like the previous railway approved by the imperial court to be built on the island of Taiwan, which was isolated overseas. Therefore, the imperial court 'followed the decree' and agreed to Li Hongzhang's request. However, when the news came out, the "ministers obstructed the admonition", and the chapters were handed in one after another, believing that the railway "has small benefits and great harm, near benefits and far harms, obvious benefits and hidden harms", and begged the supreme ruler to "abide by the laws of the ancestors" and "stop immediately". The Empress Dowager Cixi also suddenly repented and took back her fate. ”

Zhang Quanbao sighed and scolded: "That gang's so-called Qingliu has done anything serious except for picking fault with people one day?" ”

She Fatzi smiled and said, "This Lord Li also learned Wang Yi's tricks later, and he changed to bully you!" ”

"What do you mean?"

He was anxious, seeing coal from coal mines and steel mills, but the problem is that you can't transport it, and that won't work out! Wang Yi sent telegrams several times at that time, and he also invested silver and took shares in it. Then Li Hongzhang remembered Wang Yi's losses, and renamed the road to Express Road, and later even felt that the name was not safe, so he changed it to a road and reported it to be pulled by a mule. ”

"It's really a bully!" Zhang Quanbao thought it was incredible. "When did Li Hefei have this ability?"

"How dare he!" She Fatzi sneered and said, "It's not that Prince Gong and Prince Alcohol are supporting behind their backs!" ”

Zhang Quanbao shook his head and said, "Even though this is the case, it can be regarded as a fool. I'm afraid there will still be some turmoil in the future. The place of Zhili is not as far away as the emperor of the sky on our side, and Wang Yi is a bandit. Li Hongzhang didn't dare to knife the courtiers, those muddy donkeys were deceived like this, and they would definitely not give up...... Look, there's a lot of excitement in the back. ”

She Fatzi nodded and said, "I have the same opinion as your brother, this matter is not over!" ”

Wang Yi came down from the stage after speaking, and when he heard the second half of the sentence, he said: "Haha, what you said is still targeted, look, it's lively over there!" ”

As soon as Wang finished laughing at others, Chu Yuan rushed over and whispered in his ear: "Captain, the news from the Daxing'an Mountain post that the Russian Far East Expeditionary Force has set out from Irkutsk, passed through Chita, and after a short cavalry exchange with our side in Chita, it is now heading towards Nebuchu. ”

"How many people have come from Russia?"

"It's said to be about 150,000 people."

"In addition, according to the news from Yaksa, the Russian troops in the direction of Yakutsk have also moved, and if the news comes back from the buried stakes, they may move south through the Trans-Khingan Mountains and march towards Yaxa! However, the number of troops should not be much, about 20,000 or 30,000. ”

"Send a message to Heilongjiang General Ding'an, Jilin General Ming'an, and Shengjing General Qiyuan. Let them be prepared for a possible invasion of the Russian army. ”

Wang Yi secretly shouted that it was dangerous, fortunately in Chita, Nebuchu had left sentries, otherwise the enemy army would come, and once several fortresses were successfully attacked, things would be troublesome.

"Notification of a meeting!"

"Yes!" Chu Yuan left.

The land has come, I wonder if there is an army on the sea?

When everyone saw Wang Yi suddenly rushing away, they didn't know what had happened.

Two hours later, Chang Jinlong, director of logistics, Wang Xiaoxiao, acting chief of staff of the General Staff, Shang Yi, captain of the Junzi, Wei Man, captain of the Chivalry, Qian Baiji, commander of the 1st Infantry Division of the Insurance Corps, Hao Yue, commander of the 2nd Infantry Division, Arslen, 1st Cavalry Division, and Fan Bo, commander of the 1st Artillery Division. These are the new forces in Wang's hand, but most of them are a combination of old and new, and their combat power is all a problem.

The Chivalry is the sister ship of the Junzi, Wei Man is a graduate of the Maritime Academy, and has been following Shang Yi around to rob on the Junzi, and later because of his excellent appearance, he was promoted to the captain of the Chivalry.

The first division was a three-step and one-gun configuration, and the others together gave a total of about 13,000 men.

The second division was a two-in-one, two-gun configuration, with a total strength of about 15,000 men.

The cavalry division was subordinate to four cavalry brigades. A brigade is two regiments and a reconnaissance battalion. One regiment was subordinate to two battalions. The first battalion consisted of cavalry, consisting of four companies. The second battalion was an artillery battalion with mortars and 75mm guns. The total number of people is more than 12,000.

Artillery divisions, three regiments, with more than 9,000 men, equipped with 108 artillery pieces.

This was in April, after Wang's First World War restructuring, canceling the garrisons of factories in various places and beginning to assemble in a unified manner. The safety of Dashang's factory is the responsibility of the newly established logistics and security corps, and Chang Jinlong is under unified management.

"Wang Xiaoxiao will tell me about the situation." Wang Yi commanded.

"Yes!"

Wang Xiaoxiao pointed to a strategic situation map and began to explain. Everyone listened carefully, because Vladivostok, Daqing, Mohe, Yaxa, and Miaocun had already talked on the phone, so everyone had a synchronous meeting.

"Our situation now is clear, the Russians are sending troops on two fronts. One army departed from Irkutsk, the other from Yakutsk. Among them, the Russian Irkutsk Army, commanded by Skobelev, has three armies with a total number of about 150,000. The total number of the Yakutsk army was 23,000 people, Fyodor 61 Fedorovich 61 Rajetsky commanded, including twelve Russian infantry regiments, more than 12,000 people, and four Buryat regiments in the Cossack cavalry unit, more than 8,000 people. ”

"Where have both of them reached now?" Qian Baiji asked.

"The Irkutsk army has already cleared our border post in Chita and is currently moving towards Nebuchu, which is estimated to take about two to three days. It takes at least a week or half a month to get to Yaksa. ”

"Why is that?"

"Because of the heavy rains in the area around Nebuchu in recent days, most of the nearby rivers have overflowed. And Yakutsk is just leaving for ......"

After that, everyone discussed, and then Wang Xiaoxiao, on behalf of the General Staff Department, began to lay out the military plan.

Wang Yiyi: "The 1st Infantry Division, which will be deployed in the area around Urshtun, will be responsible for dealing with the Rajetz Front from the north. The port of Chumican was responsible for the supply along the Udi River. ”

"Yes!" Qian Baiji stood up and said.

"The specific arrangement is as follows......"

"The 2nd Infantry Division will be deployed at Duochen and will be responsible for covering the eastern direction of the Yaksa Fortress while supporting the 1st Infantry Division against the Rajetz Front."

Hao Yue stood up and said, "Resolutely complete the task." ”

"The 1st Artillery Division will be deployed on the south bank of the Heilongjiang River to support the Yaksa and Mohe fortresses at any time."

"Yes!" Fan Bodao.

"The 1st Cavalry Division is deployed on the east bank of the Calguna River, and once the weather improves, it can cross the river to attack Nebuchu and attack the enemy's logistics line."

"Yes!" Arslen stood up and said.

Wang Yi said at this time: "Wu Xiao! ”

"Here!" A voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Before the 1st Infantry Division arrives at the Urshitun defense line, you will lead people from Temple Street to block the attack of the opponent's Rajetz, and it is best to block him in the Outer Khingan Mountains!"

"Captain rest assured, I promise to complete the mission!" Wu Xiao was happy!

"As soon as the 1st Infantry Division arrives, you will return to Miaotun and prepare to cooperate with the Vladivostok warships to cross the Trans-Khingan Mountains by sea and attack Yakutsk."

"Yes!"

"Li Bashan!" Wang Yi called Li Bashan in Daqing again.

"Here!"

"Your troops are close to the battlefield, you start from Daqing first, and after you arrive, as a general reserve, you will be responsible for supporting any difficulties in any direction."
