Ding-dong-......
When the long is the long......
The bells rang from far and near, gradually getting brighter and higher, showing an overwhelming momentum in this silent night.
Ringing horses!
Kanto has been a horse since ancient times, and the bitter cold has always been heroic.
But looking at these knights on horseback, most of them are now staggering, and even if a few can barely sit up straight, their pale faces are full of indescribable defeat.
"Big brother, I can't go anymore, although the little devil and Yangmaozi have just withdrawn, there are still a lot of stragglers in the end, and it is too difficult to go around the Yalu River directly and then get out......"
Chang Hai frowned, looking at the Feng Junzi with several bandages wrapped around his body, he didn't feel a pang of bitterness in his heart. "cTm's little Japan and Lao Maozi, then our Northeast has become a fucking battlefield, this road is thousands of miles of red land, and there are no people and animals left, how can I take this group of brothers to the capital now?"
"I remember that there seems to be a Jade Emperor Temple in front of me, why don't I go there and see if there are any fellow villagers, so I have to give my brother a drink and horses, find a leeward place to light a hot one, and eat two mouthfuls of dry food......"
Feng Junzi thought about it, and had no choice but to do so, although he didn't know the situation ahead, but it wouldn't be too good to think about it, and now he could only hope that these two brutes didn't have time to scourge the mountain......
When the Russo-Japanese War broke out, China's three eastern provinces suffered great disasters, but wherever the livestock of the two armies passed, all the factories and houses were blown up, the cattle were plundered, the grain was plundered, and hundreds of thousands of refugees were displaced.
On the way to escape, Feng Junzi saw many scenes of Japanese and Russian animals forcibly pulling ordinary people to transport ammunition for them and serve in labor, many people worked day and night, but they couldn't even get enough to eat, and if they were lucky enough to be a little brave, they could escape from the encirclement with themselves behind the ringing horse team, and the unlucky ones could only die unjustly under the fire of the invaders, and the worst thing was the urban civilians with small fortunes, who often did not even dare to go out of their homes, and were still innocently killed by the Japanese and Russian sides as "spies".
"Big brother, look, I'm afraid that the Jade Emperor Temple has also suffered a military disaster......"
When the horse team reached the halfway point of the mountain, they vaguely saw the lights on the mountain, but according to Changhai's experience, the lights were obviously a little too strong.
"Sue sΓΉ brothers pick up the bell, take the path from the back mountain, and then find two clever brothers to go to the front to explore the wind, if there are many devils, let's squat in the back mountain for a night, if there are few people, we will make dumplings for them......"
The Wind Gentleman nodded, and asked the brothers to take off the bell from their horses' necks before leading the two of them to the top of the mountain on foot......
"Huh? How do you seem to be an officer and soldier?! β
It is no wonder that the gentleman felt surprised, since Russia occupied the northeast two years ago, the Qing soldiers in the northeast were fewer than dogs, and he did not expect that after the war between Japan and Russia, he could still see these rare things in this poor countryside.
"No, Brother Feng, look at the feet of those guys, they are all official boots, these people are afraid that they are not ordinary officers and soldiers......"
Feng Junzi thought about it, and went to the back mountain to report to the eldest brother, but he himself shook off the dust on his body, and walked out with Shi Shiran......
"Who ......?"
"The head of the Fengtian Shengzi battalion is clean and righteous, and he avoids the chaos here, dare to ask which mountain his brother is from?"
Aoki Xuanchun heard the voice from outside, his heart moved slightly, and called his non-commissioned officers, "Who is outside?" Does the Shengzi battalion also have troops stationed in Jilin? β
The non-commissioned officer's name is Zhang Qifeng, thirty-five years old, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, he was originally a henchman non-commissioned officer under Yuan Shikai, but because he didn't know what agreement he had reached with Yuan Shikai in private, he was sent out by the marshal for no reason, and left the army dryly with dozens of brothers, and went to the northeast, a place of a hundred battles, to be a nondescript spy.
Of course, no matter how dissatisfied he was with this dwarf winter melon in his heart, Yuan Shikai's prestige was still there after all, and after carefully looking at the people outside, Zhang Qifeng shook his head, "As far as I know, the Shengzi camp has always been active in Fengtian, although the man outside has a dignified appearance, but looking at his dress and speaking bearing, it is a bit like the loud horse gang in this area-Flying Sand Ride!" β
Aoki Xuanchun's small eyes narrowed, and his heart moved slightly, "Flying sand riding? β
This short, short, fat, and neat mustache Japanese was a military attache of the Japanese embassy in the Qing Dynasty on the surface, but in fact he secretly set up the Aoki Mansion in Beijing, made extensive friends with Qing court officials, and waited for an opportunity to train and install a large number of Japanese spies in the Qing court.
After the war between Japan and Russia, he was able to get support from dozens of elite non-commissioned officers from Yuan Shikai, and was active in dredging intelligence on the communication lines in the northeast region, which shows that this person's ability is extraordinary, of course, part of the credit must be attributed to Yuan Shikai's head.
He was met and made friends by Yuan Shikai when he served as Yili according to the history of the inspection, and later because he assisted Yuan Shikai to supervise the training of the Beiyang 6th Army and contributed a lot, and since then he has become close friends, when Yuan served as the governor of Shandong, he also specially invited Aoki to Jinan to assist in the formation and training of the new army, which shows Yuan Shikai's trust and dependence on him.
The most ridiculous thing is that Yuan Shikai often told other officials and subordinates more than once: "Aoki is 'the only reliable Japanese'".
In November 19o3, Gentaro Kodama made a surprise visit to Aoki, who had returned to China as the commander of the wing, and ordered him to go to the Qing Kingdom again to carry out a secret mission, that is, to organize spy agencies and prepare for war against Russia, the three most important of which were:
1. Jointly organize military forces with China to carry out espionage and infiltration against Russia;
2. Once Japan and Russia start a war, they must do everything possible to support or buy China's domestic forces and help destroy the railway communication lines of the Russian army;
3. Instigated the bribery and assembly of horse thief gangs in the northeast region to harass the rear of the Russian army day and night.
In this way, Aoki became a military attache of the Qing Legation for the third time, and privately borrowed dozens of elite non-commissioned officers such as Zhang Qifeng from Yuan Shikai, who was promoted to the governor of Zhili, as a spy sent to the Northeast and Mongolia.
By the time the situation between Japan and Russia became more and more severe, Aoki and his elite non-commissioned officers had been active in the three eastern provinces for more than two months, not only promptly reporting the deployment of many Russians and intelligence in the towns, but also completing the espionage tasks assigned to him by the Japanese General Staff.
On February 4, 19o4, the Japanese Imperial Council decided to start a war against Russia, and on the same day that the war began, the General Staff Headquarters sent an urgent telegram to Aoki, asking him to think of cutting off the Euro 6 communication line from Beijing to Kyakhta.
It stands to reason that with such a shocking feat, Aoki was fully qualified to be transferred back to China for promotion, but he still chose to stay in the northeast, continue to organize people to sabotage Russian railway lines, and wantonly snare horse thieves active in Mongolia and other parts of the northeast to form the so-called East Asian Volunteer Army.
At this time, dozens of ronins directly under Aoki's command, with a lot of money in hand, disguised themselves to buy and gather tens of thousands of Northeast and Mongolian horse thieves, including Feng Linge, Zhang Haipeng, Du Lishan, Babuyon and other famous horse gangs......
"Find a way to let them join the Manchurian Volunteer Army, increase the food and ammunition supply by 30%, and if you feel that you are coming from the wrong way, send scouts and let Feng Linge eat them......"
Feng Junzi's heart was a little surprised, because the equipment and horses of these guys were simply a little too good, even if it was known as the strongest Beiyang New Army in China, I am afraid it was nothing more than that, and when Zhang Qifeng stepped forward to greet for a while, and faintly pointed out that they were sent out by the Beiyang Army to prepare to form a Manchurian Volunteer Army in the northeast to fight against Lao Maozi.
"I have heard that Yuan Shikai has made friends with the Japanese, but now it seems that their relationship is far more than 'friendship', and now the only way to do it is to find a way to return to the capital with their strength......"
Looking at the slightly weird expressions of the people around him, Feng Junzi laughed, and took the opportunity of raising his hand to greet him, and quietly stuffed the two big yellow croakers in Zhang Qifeng's hands, "In this way, isn't it my own brother, I didn't say it, Brother Zhang just opened his mouth if he had an order, although the brother is not talented, but he also has a hundred and ten guns under his hand, as long as it is a bad old man's business, it is the brother's own business......"
Aoki's heart slowly fell, looking at his subordinates still nervous, he hurriedly waved his hand quietly, and then walked over casually: "Brother Feng is worthy of being a man of our Qing Dynasty, so it is better to let the brothers come over and rest for a night, and gather with us in Liaoxi and Fengtian tomorrow, Lao Maozi is now arrogant in Lushun, and our people have suffered ......."
A pure and authentic Beijing film, stunned that the wind gentleman did not feel strange, in order to better spy on intelligence, Aoki is a terrible character who is proficient in the five Chinese dialects.
Stuffing his fingers into his mouth and whistling three times, the wind gentleman took Aoki's hand affectionately, "As long as you go to beat Maozi, whatever the chief says!" If we have some more food and ammunition, what if we sell our lives to you......"
At the same time, Yuan Shikai was coming out of the palace, thinking about the news coming from the northeast one after another, and then comparing the tone of the Empress Dowager Cixi just now, he shook his head at Li Lianying and smiled bitterly, "Now that the foreigners are gaining momentum, if they don't expand the army, I'm afraid that the Gengzi Rebellion will happen again......"
Li Lianying nodded, but shook her head a little helplessly, "Lafayette's decree has been issued, I'm afraid it will be difficult to change it, and the matter of the Weiting and the governors of various places has indeed done a little Meng Lang, and now Lafayette is not happy in his heart, so it is better to wait and see what happens......"
Yuan Shikai's heart was slightly cold, but he hurriedly lowered his head and said yes, just looking at Li Lianying as if he wanted to speak and stopped, the fingers in his sleeves moved lightly unconsciously, and several large silver tickets that had been prepared for a hundred years went into Li Lianying's sleeves unconsciously.
"Lord Yuan is dedicated to the country, and the old slave is also visible, when he is happy to find a Lafayette another day, he will think of a way, the foreigners are chasing the northeast, in fact, they are harming the land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty, and the distance from Beijing is imminent, and the expansion of armaments is also a major event for the benefit of the country and the army, and the old slave will do his best anyway......"
"Then there is Lao Gonggong, please stay ...... father-in-law"
