Ito Hirobumi guessed correctly, after the news of the Seoul Palace Incident reached Europe, Kaiser Wilhelm was almost ready to applaud, he had already coveted East Asia, but unfortunately it was the British power range, Germany has never been able to find a reason to reach out, this time the Japanese themselves sent themselves to his mouth.

The German Zhengfu made the decision as quickly as possible, expelling the Japanese minister in Germany, and at the same time forming an expeditionary force, consisting of four battleships and ten cruisers, to form the Far East task force, to escort 20,000 German army soldiers to Japan.

"Teach those would-be robbers a lesson! Just like Attila did back then, beat them with your whip!" Wilhelm II yelled at the German expeditionary force from the docks in Kiel.

When he got the news, Yang Feng was in Shanghai to hold a public memorial service for those two great women, and on that terrible night, Shen Xiangxun, Li Jinfan and more than ten other Korean loyal ministers and their families were full of Japanese tusha.

"This is a heinous act, and I can't believe that in such a civilized era, there can be such a state-like organized killing, and the great Korean princess, Her Majesty and Lady Sun Ze, with their sacrifices, once again proved the despicable nature of that despicable people.

For such a people, we have no choice but to beat them severely, not only to beat them, but also to make their emperor personally kneel before the tomb of Her Majesty the Princess, to repent of their crimes, to beat them forever at the feet of the goddess of justice, to beat them forever to remember that if they have committed a crime, they must be punished, and do not imagine that their sins will pass in time!" Boss Yang shouted frantically, he could finally go to Japan to rape and plunder with confidence.

Just as a group of invited concession dignitaries applauded Mr. Yang's sense of justice, his female secretary walked up to him and handed over a telegram.

"Ha, look, this is a real noble monarch, praise the Kaiser, glory belongs to Germany, glory belongs to the Hohenzollern dynasty, he is a real knight, just got the telegram that the German expeditionary force is about to set sail!" Yang Feng held up the telegram and shouted excitedly.

It wasn't a cheer, and everyone knew what it meant, and an elephant stepped on the scales.

"I seem to have heard that Her Majesty the Crown Princess was killed because she wanted to ask the Russian Emperor to save her country and her relatives, right? I don't know how His Majesty Nicholas, who is newly married Yan'er, will react when he hears this news, is it that his honeymoon with His Majesty the Empress has made him forget his duties as a man. Then Boss Yang said with jealousy, which immediately caused a laugh with ulterior motives, most of the ghosts here don't like Russians.

"You're trying to force the great powers to carve up Japan!" After sending off the guests, Liu Mingchuan, who came from Anhui to meet him, said with emotion that his condition had a tendency to worsen, but with the help of Yang Feng's military doctor and antibiotics, he miraculously got better, except for being blind in one eye, basically no different from ordinary people, anyway, if he wants to say that he can live for one more year, no one will believe it, this time he just took the opportunity to take the opportunity to take a boat to the north, to meet the Taiwan governor who has been in the limelight recently.

As a result, when they met, the old and the young were quite a bit like-minded, anyway, they were not good goods, they were all insidious and cunning people, and naturally they had a common language.

If the Germans came to war against Japan, then even for the sake of face, the Russian tsar must not fail to say that although Vladivostok is now frozen, they still have a few warships in Shanghai, and they can also go south to Korea from the land to participate in the attack on the Japanese army, and this is the most unacceptable to the British, but they have no reason to send troops to stop it, after all, this time the Japanese have gone too far, and they beat them with dignity.

Then the best choice for the British is to run to get a piece of the pie, or to participate in the punishment of Japan, and when the British come, the French can't watch the excitement, maybe even the Americans will have to take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit, and then Japan will become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

"How good is this, the country of Japan is too much of a threat to us, think about the Japanese invaders back then, you know that as long as there is an opportunity, they will never miss the opportunity to attack us, so while they have not really developed now, they will simply strangle to death." Yang Feng said with a cruel smile.

"Listen, this is the way of the old man to seek the country, you are behind the gate, Ling Zun and the old man are also killed together on the battlefield, I regard you as a son and nephew, some words can be regarded as speaking on behalf of your father, a man must eventually lift a three-foot sword to get merit, the article is nothing more than icing on the cake, and now with the help of Admiral Yang, it is the time when you have a great achievement." Liu Mingchuan turned his head to Yuan Shikai on the side and said that he and Yuan Baoqing were good friends, and even Yuan Baoqing's funeral was presided over by him and Wu Changqing, so he naturally has the qualifications to educate the big brother.

Of course, Yang Feng also understands that this is urging himself to fulfill his promise, it seems that Liu Mingchuan is ready to accept the appointment given to him by Cixi, and enter the dynasty to command the armies, the current Korean governor, a large number of soldiers, basically no one can control anyone, although the veteran Song Qing has temporarily acted as the commander, but his Yi army can only be counted as a miscellaneous card in the Huai army, and he must not be able to control those Li Hongzhang's descendants, such as Liu Shengxiu, who entered the court with him.

Liu Mingchuan's nephew is now in command of Liu Mazi's Ming Army, the number one elite of the Huai Army that was powerful in the world during the resistance to France, and originally ran in the Yalu River defense line in history to catch up with Fengsheng, otherwise he would not have sold Nie Shicheng, I don't know what the result would be if Lu Dao was replaced by Liu Mingchuan personally commanded.

"Brother Weiting, I don't know how you are going to train the army? If you are still like now, building a bunch of brave camps, then my brother will advise you not to waste your energy, it is useless.

Asan Nie Shicheng and others fought well, but it was defense, and with the best weapons, almost no restrictions on ammunition consumption, Xu Bangdao set a record for the highest ammunition consumption, it takes 8,000 rounds to kill a Japanese soldier, this number makes my soldiers laugh silly, even if it has not dropped to below 1,000 rounds now, if it is not for Li Zhongtang to supply his most trusted subordinates without feeling distressed, no one can stand their ammunition consumption, even if it is so, there is no offensive ability, can only defend passively, Now it is said that Li Zhongtang is still worried about how to fight next!

So brother gives you an opinion, make a new army modeled after the Japanese, I can provide you with a brigade of munitions, and I can also provide you with enough military instructors, but you need to solve the problem of courage, discipline and loyalty of your subordinates, it doesn't matter who they are loyal to, but you have to give them a loyalty target, even if they are loyal to you, it doesn't matter.

Japanese soldiers can brave the dense explosion of hundreds of shells per minute with rifles with only a few dozen rounds, and if you can get your soldiers to reach this level, then you can say that you have an invincible army. Yang Feng said.

"Lord Yang, the lower officer wants to ask a presumptuous question, what are your soldiers loyal to?" Yuan Shikai asked curiously, Liu Mingchuan was also very interested in this question, you must know that Yang Feng's subordinates can really be put together, and there must be more than a dozen nationalities alone.

"My soldier is loyal to money, and his family who died in battle for me has a high pension, and I will support his parents, and even his children can be taken care of by me, and so far my subordinates have died in battle and training, and more than 100 people have died, and the families of those foreigners can receive a lot of compensation, and a good job that is enough for them to have food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

When a soldier recruited from home dies, his family is willing to ask for money, and he can get two thousand taels of silver, and you should understand what this money means, or you can go to Australia and live under my care, and if you are willing to farm and give them land, if you are willing to go into the factory, then you can go into the factory. That land is bigger than our Sichuan province, but it has a population of only 100,000 people, and I can feed more people, and his children will be sent to the school I run for free, and when they grow up, they can even give them jobs, you see, I gave them money, I gave them a future, why are they disloyal?" Yang Feng said.

Liu Mingchuan and Yuan Shikai were stunned for a moment, Boss Yang's experience can't be learned, one person loses two thousand taels of silver, no one can afford this, let alone two thousand, two hundred is terrifying.

However, the new army, this is okay, in fact, Yuan Shikai is also very clear about this, look at the front line to understand that the brave battalion system can no longer be played, and the formation of a Western-style army can be said to be imperative, otherwise Li Hongzhang would not have agreed to his recruitment.

This guy soon returned to his hometown with 4,000 rifles, 500 pistols, 12 Krupp 75 camp guns, 12 Hanyang Gun Factory version of 82 mortars, and 20 Bofors version of Makqin machine guns with Yang Feng promised him, and as for the official procedures, he had already solved it himself, Li Hongzhang had just passed the proposal to expand the army by forty battalions from Cixi, and just divided ten battalions for him to play.

Liu Mingchuan went north by boat, ready to accept the appointment to command the armies in Korea, and Yang Feng returned to Taipei, he was going to prepare for the next landing in Japan, the goal of this cargo is very clear, the first stop is Osaka, while the Japanese are not vigilant enough, go straight to the core of the Japanese economy, now all the remaining warships of the Japanese Navy are almost all in the Korean Strait, protect this waterway from the Beiyang Navy Division to cut off their supply line to Busan, and the east can almost be said to be open.

The thought of a city where Japanese people are waiting to grab it makes me feel an irrepressible excitement.
