The final landing site was Taiwan-state capital. The reason why I chose this place is also a decision made after many games and quarrels.

Because the Beiyang Fleet lined up to guard the mouth of the Yangtze River, warships of various countries did not even dare to enter the Huangpu River, so they could only look for a breakthrough from the south. And Lu Zhonglin, the governor of Liangguang, is an extremely stubborn and old-fashioned old man, he neither likes the reformers who strive to change the status quo, but also dislikes the arrogant and arrogant foreign devils. What's more, he himself has actually seen clearly that under the general trend, being a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty may still be able to get out of the way, and help foreigners do things badly to leave a stink for 10,000 years! So he simply pretended not to hear the imperial edict, and sternly refused to allow the allied forces of the great powers to land in Liangguang.

Zhang Zhidong, who has been playing his own small abacus, let go of the barrier with his acquiescence, but he is very smart to push all the decisions to the court, the old man is just acting on orders, if you want to scold you, go and scold the emperor and scold the old lady, my old man is a part-time part-time person in such a large area of Zhejiang and Hubei, and he can't be busy!

As a result, the allied forces of the great powers, totaling more than 50,000 people, finally went ashore after several setbacks.

This group of cattle, who had been suffocating at sea for many months, could not bear it anymore, and when they arrived in the locality, they began to plague people, and when the headquarters of the coalition forces was busy fighting for power and profit, they had no time to strictly manage it, and the common people of the Taizhou-Zhou capital could be regarded as suffering!

For a time, extending inland from several landing points, smoke rose on the ground of several county towns in a row, and the smell was everywhere! Countless villages and towns were rushed into by a group of wolf-like foreign devil soldiers, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil!

The officials sent by the governor of Zhejiang to supervise and coordinate at first planned to stop it, but they were unceremoniously whipped by foreign devils! The Qing soldiers who carried guns to show off their might to the common people, and in the face of the foreign adults with red eyebrows and green eyes, they couldn't even say a word. The fart doesn't dare to put a head rat running!

Between a few days. The coalition forces have done countless evil deeds that have lost their conscience. There are many blood debts, and it is difficult to write!

But it's not like no one has stepped forward to stop it. The people of Zhejiang themselves are not weak, hundreds of years ago, when there were Japanese invaders, Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou and others recruited soldiers on the spot, and they played a great prestige! Even on weekdays, people in southern Zhejiang can fight flesh and blood in order to grab water and water the land, how can it be so easy to bully?

In the early days, he was intimidated by government coercion and defenselessness. The locals suffered a big loss, but after a few days they came to their senses, and many brave people came forward to call on the people to fight against the barbaric foreign devils!

Don't forget, the land of the two Zhejiang has always been a gathering of humanities, from the former Ming Dynasty to the present dynasty, the number of scholars and the number of scholars are among the best, plus the business has always been developed here, the people have a lot of wealth, and they can go everywhere. Broad-minded and well-informed. Now many people can see that the rivers of the Qing Dynasty are declining. Maybe when it will collapse, Yang Hao has risen strongly, maybe he will be able to board the Ninth Five-Year Plan one day, how the team will stand and how to choose, in fact, they all know it in their hearts.

In addition, they also saw one thing clearly, only by helping Yang Hao withstand the invasion of foreigners could they take a ride and make a fortune further. Therefore, the locals were not willing to cooperate with the decrees of the imperial court.

Now that the plagued foreign devils are openly scourging the township, how can they swallow their anger? A large number of wealthy local households who have an unclear relationship with the two Zhejiang consortiums joined forces to gather the thugs with their savings. A large number of conscious young scholars and progressive youths also took the opportunity to clamor, especially the secret members, workers' leaders, and activists who had been trained by the revolutionary army in the early stage, and they refused to miss this wonderful opportunity and took to the streets and alleys one after another, shouting for the people to unite and resist to the death!

Not only can they play tricks, but they also have guns in their hands! Although most of them are backward single-shot round-nosed bolt-action rifles, it is a big hassle to add up! In a town, hundreds of guns were gathered, thousands of young men armed with broadswords and spears, and under the command of trained young backbones, fortresses were built, fortifications were dug, traffic was cut off, and water sources were destroyed, and a wave of mobilization of the whole people to resist aggression spread rapidly from the coast to Jinhua, Shaoxing, Wenzhou, and other places!

When a dozen or so coalition soldiers who went out to spread the wilderness carried their guns and came to the villages and towns on the edge of their advance route with their hearts and gentle, intending to continue to unleash their beastly nature unscrupulously, they were no longer greeted by panicked people, but bullets that cut their heads and faces, and even earth cannons!

What are the soldiers of the Eight-Nation Alliance? To put it simply, it's uneven, but it's basically a bastard! They are accustomed to bullying backward nations with no culture and no background, and they burn, kill, and plunder in the colonies, and they have never encountered any decent opponents. Countless indigenous people were slaughtered by them, and a large number of primitive cultures were destroyed by them, and in China, they still do the same.

But the result is completely different.

More than a dozen invading troops were caught off guard and were attacked head-on, suffering a lot of damage, and retreating in panic. When they came to their senses, they were furious again, thinking that it was absolutely unacceptable to be so humiliated by a group of backward barbarians! So, a larger force gathered and slaughtered the recalcitrant villages and towns in retaliation.

It's not that easy to succeed. The mountainous terrain in southern Zhejiang is not conducive to the deployment of large armies, not to mention the heavy artillery and heavy machine guns. The coalition soldiers still mainly used rifles, brought a small number of grenades, and killed them after increasing their manpower, thinking that they could easily destroy the city and sweep away the recalcitrant ones.

But they didn't expect that from the beginning of their departure from the barracks, countless traps suddenly appeared along the way, and there were constantly people from the mountains, forests and wilderness, shooting cold guns, laying mines and releasing poisonous snakes, and all kinds of bad tricks emerged one after another.

They don't dare to chase yet, and if there are fewer people chasing into the mountains and forests, it is easy to get lost as soon as they turn, and they will be lured by the enemy to go deep and beat the sticks to kill them. There are too many people to exert themselves, and they can't play much role, and their entire marching speed is outrageously slow. Not yet a third of the way, the ammunition consumption and the number of injuries and illnesses are already unacceptable!

The coalition forces did not expect that the secret members who came out of Yang Hao's training class in Laochao deeply understood the essence of our army's guerrilla warfare. Originally, they were veterans of the baptism of war, and they were also tasked with secretly developing organizational forces to create trouble behind enemy lines when the revolutionary army went south in the future. Now it's just a trick to deal with the sudden foreign devil in advance.

The foreign devils are bad. Busy coping for a while. It's a big deal. The news was reported to the headquarters of the Northern Revolutionary Army as soon as possible, and Yang Hao immediately issued a statement, severely reprimanding the aggression of the coalition forces, and even vowed that the coalition forces must pay the price for the heavy blood debts they have committed!

This is not a rhetorical intimidation, Yang Hao has the ability and determination to put it into practice, and as a staunch nationalist, he will not compromise with any enemy. It is impossible to sacrifice the interests of one's own nation in exchange for one's own status and authority.

The upper echelons of the coalition forces had already judged this, so when the note was sent to the headquarters of the coalition forces, a large group of generals were in a hurry, hurriedly learning about the movements and behaviors of the troops, and they were furious!

The British, who had always regarded the Liangzhejiang and Yangtze River valleys as their own territory, were the first to take the helm of Alfred Brown, who replaced Seymour as deputy commander of the coalition forces. General Gaisley slapped the table in anger and yelled, "What the fuck are you guys doing?!" Didn't we all agree in advance not to indulge the soldiers in disorder? Do you say things that smell like feces pulled out of a pig's ass?! ”

…… Well, to be able to speak out of the gentlemanly spirit of the British Empire, one can imagine how bad the situation is.

The accompanying liaison officer, Minister Dou Nale, added with trepidation: "Gentlemen. Don't forget that we still have thousands of valuable soldiers held in the hands of the Chinese, if they are executed because of today's events. Don't you know how much trouble that will cause? ”

The faces of the generals of various countries are different, and most of them secretly pouted with disdain, who doesn't know that in fact, the upper echelons of the government have long planned to give up those unlucky people? So far, it has only been a ransom for Seymour and other major generals, and the lower-level soldiers and officers are just a bunch of terrible cattle, so what's the big deal if they die? On the contrary, it can be used as an excuse to start a war against China and extort tenfold and hundredfold compensation!

In addition, they all know that the British have never wanted to completely tear their faces with the Chinese. Their balanced foreign policy required two evenly matched forces in the Far East to help them contain the Russians and then use skilful diplomacy to take advantage of them.

For example, in this operation, the goal of the British was to preserve the existence of the Qing Empire, using them as puppets similar to India to sit on the huge China, and generate hundreds of millions of excess profits. As for the complete defeat and elimination of Yang Hao's revolutionary army? It doesn't mean that at all! If it weren't for Yang Hao's brutal killing of a large number of British Royal Navy last time, they would have been able to do even peace in private!

Just look at the number of troops sent by the British this time, you can understand that Ya is here to fight soy sauce at all, and even the position of commander of the coalition forces was given to the German Alfred. Feng. Wadsey, obviously, is not a big bird.

Originally, the British planned very well, and the coalition troops landed from southern Zhejiang, and in the process of going north, they helped them straighten out the ruling relationship here by the way, and it was better to take the ruling power of Shanghai with ease. Then, along the Yangtze River upstream and all the way upstream, when it passed through Nanjing, it was basically able to clear a refreshing demarcation line of interests.

And before the operation, the coalition forces agreed that they could not engage in chaos here. But the result faithfully fed back the true face of the foreign devils - they are simply a bunch of bastards with no face, no skin and no reputation!

The indignant expressions of the two British heads of state were not accepted by others.

Commander of the Russian army Alikse. General Kuropatkin flicked his fingers lightly and said nonchalantly: "If we don't let the soldiers go out to collect supplies, how can we have the motivation to travel a long distance of one or two thousand kilometers to the north to participate in the war?" ”

Minister Dou Nale said angrily: "We have prepared all the materials needed by the coalition army, and the Qing government along the way has also done a good job, so there is no need to engage in the so-called collection work at all!" I think you simply want to indulge the soldiers and satisfy their bestiality! ”

Alixe's beard curled: "Why don't we do a method that can effectively improve the combat effectiveness of the troops?" Besides, it is only a sacrifice of a small part of the Chinese, who have a population of more than 400 million, which is nothing at all. Maybe we can make a big contribution to improving their population and reducing useless garbage! ”

Dou Na trembled with joy, his face turned red, and he couldn't speak when he pointed at this crazy arrogant bastard!

It's not just him. The generals of the rest of the countries also looked sideways. I really don't think of the undisguised rough style of the Russians. It is no wonder that the European countries have always refused to accept them. It's true that the leaders of this group of gray cattle themselves are not in tune and are not up to grade!

Only the Japanese, who made soy sauce in a muffled voice from beginning to end, lit up their eyes after hearing the words, revealing an expression of great agreement.

In the composition of the coalition forces this time, the Japanese dispatched a division of more than 20,000 people. Lieutenant General Kuroki Weizhen personally led the 6th Division to land, not only to avenge the tens of thousands of Japanese troops who had died before, but also to hope that through their efforts, they could get a bigger cake after the victory in the war. That's not just about regaining control of North Korea. They want to occupy the Northeast further. And this goal, in turn, came into conflict with the Russians.

In addition to this, the dogma within the Japanese Army also believed that asking soldiers to do something to release stress before the battle would boost morale, and that releasing the accumulated anger after the battle would help them calm down as much as possible and build up the motivation for the next battle.

The so-called smell is like this.

Alfred. General Gaisley banged on the table and shouted, "Anyway, I will never allow such a bad thing to be done at our landing site and on the march, regardless of any excuse you have!" Please don't forget the jì. What is our goal! ”

The commander of the coalition forces, Wadsey, watched coldly for a long time, and only then did he intervene: "I think. First to complete the main operational objectives of the coalition forces. After all, this is not a war zone, and we also need the cooperation of Qing officials to ensure a smooth march along the way. The rest will be talked about after entering the war zone. ”

The burden on his body is not light. Before leaving, Kaiser Wilhelm II personally summoned him and repeatedly reminded him that Germany should seize this once-in-a-century opportunity to lead the coalition forces to a convincing victory. Then, on the basis of it, we can obtain as much benefit as possible. It is not only to occupy Jiaozhou Bay, but also to try to swallow the entire Shandong, eat the wealth and industrial equipment owned by Yang Hao Group, and build the second German base camp in the Far East!

In order to accomplish this glorious mission, he must patiently integrate all the forces available to him, and carefully and carefully plan the plan of action at every step, so as not to make too many mistakes. Among them, the British and the careless French are the easiest to cooperate, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which is from the same origin, can also be discussed, and the Americans and Italians can be ignored for purely soy sauce.

The Russian army and the Japanese army, which also have huge ambitions, are the biggest trouble, not only do they have more troops, but they also have more ideas, and they are not easy to control. Things are now proving that previous worries are not unfounded.

It has to be said that when Britain and Germany joined forces, the forces formed had a considerable suppressive effect, and the interests of the Russians and the Japanese were also appealing to northern China, and it was not in line with their plans to consume too much force here. So in this way, several sides finally took action to restrain their own soldiers, and after indiscriminately pacifying the Qing officials, they accelerated their northward march along the land route.

All the actions of the coalition forces could not be concealed from the scouts of the revolutionary army, and the secret operation group, which had previously achieved certain results, excitedly proposed that it would continue to mobilize the people to attack and harass the enemy along the road, and strive to create a vast sea that would drown them.

Yang Hao sternly stopped their greed and recklessness, and now the time is not ripe at all, the rich southern region has always been a concentration of compradors and capitalist landlords, and they are sincerely resistant to the revolutionary army under the banner of proletarian revolution. Once they feel that the unrestrained and unrestrained revolutionary behavior will greatly damage their vested interests, they will immediately join hands to help the Qing court brutally exterminate!

Under the circumstance that the headquarters of the revolutionary army is beyond the reach of the whip, such senseless sacrifices must not be made in a disorderly manner, still less can they lead to the great difficulties of advancing the revolution in the future because of the reckless actions of a small number of people.

After all, most of the current operatives are the "protégés of the Son of Heaven" taught by Yang Hao himself, and they are more convinced by his words, so they all suppress them and continue to lurk.

No one interfered, and the coalition forces moved very quickly, and they arrived in Hangzhou from southern Zhejiang all the way through Ningbo, and were immediately attracted by the prosperity and luxury here. Whether it is Japanese or Russian, they are all turtles and turtles in their bones, where have they seen the picturesque scenery of the beautiful mountains and rivers accumulated for thousands of years?

The British themselves were too greedy for Hangzhou to obtain, and at this time they could not let countless cattle go out to wreak havoc, and thousands of soldiers were transferred to the gendarmerie at the time, strictly guarding from the inside out, almost pressing the troops to continue northward. However, in view of the terrible appearance of the coalition forces, they categorically decided to change their itinerary and never go near the equally prosperous Suzhou and Shanghai, but instead marched to Zhenjiang via Yixing, Huzhou.

The beautiful water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, this large group of vulgar foreign devils are confused, and every rural town they pass through is full of cultural charm as far as the eye can see, which makes them feel inferiority from the bottom of their hearts. Regardless of whether they can understand and agree with it or not, they can see the vicissitudes and heaviness accumulated for thousands of years from the details, and the natural atmosphere not only stimulates their endless possessiveness, but also makes them keep lowering their fighting spirit.

Minister Dou Nale, who thought he knew China, sighed sincerely: "No wonder the Chinese have never been willing to expand outward, and the wealth they already possess is enough to make the most powerful and aggressive warriors degenerate into cowards." ”

At this moment, they deeply understood the true meaning of the so-called "gentle township is a hero's grave". (To be continued......)
