Li Yuanhong was undecided, deep down in his heart he didn't want to take refuge in Lin Fei, how good it would be to establish himself as the king, but if he didn't take refuge in Lin Fei, Lin Fei would destroy him, even the Japanese couldn't beat Lin Fei, he was a small Qing army general, what could he do to Lin Fei?

Li Yuanhong weighed it repeatedly, and finally decided to completely surrender to Lin Fei and hand over the military power, so that although he could not establish himself as the king, Lin Fei would not kill him, not only would he not kill him, but he would also regard him as a hero of the uprising, and use his deeds to set an example for those Qing generals who were watching, so that he could still live a prosperous life.

Lin Fei immediately instructed Li Ming on the front line that all officers and soldiers in Li Yuanhong's troops who wanted to go home should be dismissed on the spot, and those who wanted to continue to serve as soldiers should stay in the army, and all officers of Li Yuanhong's troops, above the battalion commander, were sent to Beijing to take up new positions and no longer hold military positions.

In Li Yuanhong's troops, the battalion commander was only middle-level officers, and Lin Fei's order replaced all middle-level and above officers in Li Yuanhong's troops, and the entire army was completely in Lin Fei's hands.

Sixty percent of the soldiers in Li Yuanhong's army chose to go home, Lin Fei ordered Li Mingming to give them travel expenses and let them go home on their own, and the remaining four adults were willing to stay and continue to serve as soldiers.

Lin Fei ordered Li Mingming to send Li Yuanhong and his family to Dayu City, China, after Li Yuanhong came to Dayu City, Lin Fei personally met him, regarded him as a model, and publicized it to the Qing army, Li Yuanhong asked to return to his hometown to retire, Lin Fei considered that letting him go was tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain, so he politely refused his request and left him in Huaxia.

So far, Luanzhou, Changli, Shanhaiguan Battle officially ended, in this battle, Lin Fei dispatched artillery chariots, the first division of the Japanese army was wiped out, the Qing army Shanhaiguan defenders surrendered to Lin Fei, "Luanchang Mountain Battle" although the scale is not large, but it is a far-reaching battle, it marks the artillery chariot this brand new weapon officially entered the war stage, profoundly affected the history of human warfare.

Foreigners have never heard of such a thing as an artillery chariot, so they named it "artillerycar", which means "artillery car", and later the Chinese transliterated "artillerycar" - "Atillerycar", so the artillery chariot has the nickname of "artillerycar".

The battle ended on June 30, only nine days after the Eighteen Nations declared war on the Chinese Empire, and the world was shaken by this battle, Japan, as the first country to attack in the Eighteen Nation Alliance, was defeated by Lin Fei so quickly, and the Eighteen Nations could not help but draw a question mark over whether this battle could be finally won.

At the same time as the fierce fighting in the "Luanchang Mountain Campaign," the operations of the Northern Front, the Eastern Front, and the Western Front of the Huaxia Army were also continuing; on the northern theater side, on 24 June, Li Mingming ordered the 1st Division directly under him to cross the Yellow River at the Kaifeng Ferry and take Kaifeng directly, and the Yellow River Campaign officially began.

The purpose of this campaign launched by the Huaxia Army was to cross the Yellow River, conquer the southern part of Henan, strategically encircle the Zhangzhidong Division in Hunan and Hubei, join forces with the Eastern Front Army of China, and concentrate and annihilate the Zhangzhidong Division in the Lianghu Plain.

Kaifeng Ferry, the Yellow River is slow, is an excellent place to cross the river, but the first division directly under the river wants to cross the river, there is a special difficulty, that is, in order to prevent the Huaxia army from crossing the river, Yuan Shikai recruited all the ferries along the Yellow River to the south bank of the Yellow River.

The Huaxia army could not find a boat from the local area, and it was impossible to transport the ship from Huaxia, and the width of the Kaifeng ferry was more than 400 meters, and the armored bridge-erecting vehicles equipped by the Huaxia army could not erect such a wide boat bridge at all, and the Huaxia army could only cross the river on rafts.

There are only four people on a raft, which is too few, so even if you cross the Yellow River, you will not be able to form enough troops, and you will eventually be completely wiped out by the Qing army.

So the Huaxia Army installed airbags at the bottom of the raft, these airbags came from the bridge plate of the armored bridge erection vehicle, after the installation of air bags, each raft can carry ten soldiers, but the number of airbags on the bridge plate of the armored bridge erection vehicle is small, not enough to install each raft, and the first division directly under it faced a great dilemma for a time.

When the Huaxia army was distressed by the number of rafts, Yuan Shikai on the other side of the river observed the intention of the Huaxia army to build a raft and prepare to cross the river, and sent a death squad, disguised as a Qing people, to sneak into the place where the Huaxia army parked the raft, using fire oil and grenades, and set a fire in the raft parking place.

It was June 27, the wind was very strong, and the fire burned down more than half of the raft, and the Qing army launched a suicide attack, and more than 100 people in the death squad were killed, and none of them were spared.

More than half of the raft was burned down, and the Battle of the Yellow River could not be carried out smoothly, Li Ming was furious, but the raft had been burned down, and no matter how big the fire was, the raft would not come back, Li Ming immediately asked Lin Fei for help.

When Lin Fei heard the news, he immediately transported a batch of rubber boats to the first division directly under him, this kind of rubber boat can carry twenty people, paddle power, Lin Fei originally wanted to add a diesel engine or a gasoline engine to the rubber boat, but whether it is a diesel engine or a gasoline engine, it is used by cars after it is produced, so Lin Fei can only give up this idea.

On 29 June, Li Mingming personally rushed to the front line of the Yellow River to direct the operation, and Li Mingming listened carefully to the report on the defense of the Qing army on the other side, and then decided to adopt this method, one part of the first division directly under the command made a feint attack on the Kaifeng ferry, and the other attacked the Xihekou downstream of the Kaifeng ferry, and the Qing army gathered all the ferries collected at the Xihekou, and these ferries were of great help to the Huaxia army's troop projection and material transportation, and they must be controlled in their hands.

The time for the launch of the general offensive was set for the early morning of 30 June, when the news of the victory in the Battle of Luanchang Mountain had already reached the 1st Division directly under it, which had been worried that the rear road would be cut off by the Japanese army.

At one o'clock in the morning, the 1st Division under its command gathered all its artillery forces, including 30 HP-2 75mm howitzers and 15 HP-3 105mm howitzers, and launched a bombardment attack on the Qing army's position opposite the Kaifeng Ferry.

Previously, there were eight Monkey King airships, each with its own name, and the names of these four Monkey King airships were not easy to choose, so Lin Gecheng did not choose names for them, but just named them with numbers, "013", "014", "015" and "016".

The four Monkey King airships also dropped aerial bombs on the Qing army's position, but Yuan Shikai's unit had been bombed many times by the Monkey King airship, and this time he did not escape after the Monkey King airship began to bomb.

Kaifeng Ferry artillery fire, the fire reflected the red night sky, the explosion shook the earth, Yuan Shikai then made a judgment that the Huaxia Army would cross the Yellow River at Kaifeng Ferry, so Yuan Shikai gathered all the troops to Kaifeng Ferry, but he did not expect that Yuan Shikai's troops were all assembled at Kaifeng Ferry, and took advantage of the opportunity when Yuan Shikai's troops were all assembled at Kaifeng Ferry, directly took Xihekou, crossed the Yellow River from Xihekou, and occupied Xihe Village in one fell swoop.

Yuan Shikai was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered his troops to counterattack Xihe Village, and when they arrived at Xihe Village, the Huaxia Army had already returned to the north bank of the Yellow River with more than 300 ferries anchored at the mouth of the Xihe River.

At this time, the sky had already brightened, and the Huaxia Army, which had obtained more than 300 ferries, immediately launched a general attack, in addition to the 1st Division directly under it, the 906th Division, the 907th Division and the 908th Division also participated in the river crossing operation.

Because the artillery attack of the Huaxia army lasted all night, the defense of the Qing army's position had been greatly weakened, so the first division directly under it did not take much effort to break through the Yellow River defense line and advance to Kaifeng, Kaifeng is located on the plain, there is no danger to defend, the Yellow River is dangerous, Kaifeng no longer has to defend the palace, so Yuan Shikai can only lead his troops to retreat westward and enter the jurisdiction of Shaanxi.

From Shaanxi to Henan, there are many natural hazards such as Funiu Mountain, Kunshan Mountain, Zhongtiao Mountain and so on, which together with Taihang Mountain constitute a natural barrier, and the Chinese army wants to break through these barriers, it does take a lot of effort.

Yuan Shikai's department withdrew from Kaifeng, Kaifeng became an empty city, a division directly under the city occupied Kaifeng without effort, because Yuan Shikai withdrew into Shaanxi, so Luoyang also abandoned, the Huaxia army immediately after occupying Kaifeng, westward attack, Luoyang.

On July 3, the Huaxia army occupied Luoyang, and on July 4, Lin Fei announced the liberation of the entire territory of Henan.

At this time, the situation of the Qing State was like this, and the Chinese terrain had "three major steps", the first ladder, including the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Kunlun Mountains; the second tier, including the Loess Plateau, the Mongolian Plateau, the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and the Sichuan Basin; The third tier, including the Northeast Plain, the North China Plain, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Plain, and so on.

At this time, Lin Fei had basically occupied most of the provinces in the third ladder, and also held the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau in his hands, and the Qing court only left Hunan, Hubei, Anhui, Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, except for Hunan, Hubei and Anhui, most of these provinces were located on the second ladder, with high mountains and mountains as natural barriers, and it was difficult for Lin Fei to beat down for a while.

On the international side at this time, the British, French, and German fleets had already set off for the British colony of Burma, preparing to transit in Burma and attack China, but the distance was too far for three or four months not to think of coming.

In order to alleviate the disadvantage of the Qing State, the Eighteen-Nation Coalition decided to send troops from Russia and take Beijing directly.
