Chapter 136 Knocking on the bone and sucking the marrow

After receiving Li Yuncong's telegram, Yang Feng was also happy, isn't this a dish delivered to the door! This goods immediately asked him to take the concubine of Dezhi, and investigate in the city to see if there is any knowledge of the matter, if there is any, send it to Fuzhou together, this matter has to be done with all the human and material evidence, as for the physical evidence, just ask those arms dealers who sold the Mauser gun to Deshou, with his friendship with the Mauser family, this is a matter of one sentence.

It is definitely going to be fought, but it is estimated that it is impossible to hit Nanchang, the logistics can't keep up, and the mountain road transportation is too difficult, but I'm afraid it won't be too difficult for Ningdu and Ganzhou. He is not to grab the land, in fact, it is a very irrational behavior to blindly expand before Fujian and Zhejiang are under control, and he wants to use this as an excuse to force Cixi to treat Deshou with a crime, and it is best to cut off his head publicly, so that if she wants to arrange who to stumble on herself, it is estimated that the other party will not be so obedient.

After receiving Yang Feng's telegram, Li Yuncong immediately sent the concubine of Dezhi, who was still in love with him, and then a group of local officials and captured weapons to Fuzhou, and he arranged to attack Ruijin, at the same time, the second brigade of the first division was also under the command of Jiang Guidi, from Liancheng to the north to sweep the counties and then attack Shao Wu from Nanping, he basically did not fight along the way is just to receive in the past, even if it was Shao Wu, the important town of Yang Yi's army, after Wang Chen was martyred, the gang of green worms went back and dispersed, At this time, it is basically equivalent to being unarmed.

However, Yang Feng encountered a problem, of course, not domestic.

Just when the Japanese and Russian armies were engaged in a protracted war around Morioka, the newly formed Fourth Army of the Russian Army landed, but it did not land in northern Japan, but directly landed in Maizuru, and the target was obviously Kyoto.

Because the graves of the father and son of the wild boar skin in the county were extremely rich, after these things were transported to Europe, they immediately caused an archaeological boom. Taking advantage of the hot topic of this topic, tomorrow daily also began to speculate on the treasures of the Japanese imperial tomb, anyway, what is in it, until now no one knows except the Japanese government, so just blow it!

You must know that Marco Polo said in Europe that Japan was a gold country, and when the great powers opened the door of Japan, the gold of this country was several times cheaper than that in the world, although this was related to the fact that they had more gold and less silver in the country at that time, but this is enough to prove that the rumors are true, since it is the imperial mausoleum of the gold country, what else can there be? Gold!

Tomorrow's reporters give full play to their imagination at the behest of the big boss. The depiction of the Japanese imperial tomb is almost said to be paved with gold bricks, and in order to prove their inference, they also got a lot of chasing the wind and shadows, and even made up nonsense information, of course, they don't know the way of this, these materials are provided by Yang Feng, he is now specially looking for a group of people to process Japanese ancient books, from compilation to old streamlining operation one-stop production, and then these ancient books by their own soldiers. It would be strange if they didn't grab some of the money they sold to collectors at home and even abroad, and they took over the capital of Japan.

Not to mention those Europeans who knew almost nothing about Japan, it was Yang Feng himself who looked at the newspapers compiled by his subordinates. I wondered if this was true.

Although the Russian army conquered cities in Japan during this time, in fact, the gains in wealth were not very large, and Japan was so poor at this time that it was desperately poor, except for those major cities. There is nothing else to grab, Tokyo, Osaka. Even Sendai has let Yang Feng sift through these places, even if it is really defeated, there will not be too many things, so that the only ones left for them to choose from are Kyoto and Kobe, where else can they land without landing in Maizuru?

Now the Japanese elite are all in the north, and there are only two newly formed divisions in the south, and the equipment standard is the nature of the militia, which is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Russian army.

But when they do this, the British can't stand it, what are they going to do? Are you ready to destroy Japan? This was absolutely intolerable to the British Empire, so the acting minister to China, Paul Kele, came to Yang Feng.

"Isn't that okay? You also know that I am good friends with Her Majesty the Empress of Russia, and that I have already made her unhappy that I did not help Russia in this matter, and if I went to help the Japanese again, it would seriously hurt our feelings. Yang Feng was very embarrassed by the British's proposal to invite him to send troops to Japan to mediate the Russo-Japanese War.

He wasn't lying, and Alice, who had now changed her name to Alexandra, had been sent several letters expressing his dissatisfaction in a row because of the events in North Korea.

Bao Kle smiled and said: "Your Excellency the Governor, we also understand this, but we are not going to war with the Russians, but in the name of maintaining peace, to prevent this tragedy from spreading, although the Japanese should be responsible for their mistakes, but such a punishment is a bit excessive, especially since the Russians have been tusha hundreds of thousands of civilians in Japan so far, which I don't think you will like as a righteous person."

In fact, the British are also helpless now, the Korean incident has intensified the contradictions between Britain and Russia, and the anti-British sentiment in Russia has skyrocketed, and France, as an ally of Russia, has been severely condemned by Russian public opinion for its inaction in this incident, and even claimed that this is a betrayal of the Russian-French alliance. Under such circumstances, France had to jump out to maintain this relationship, and on the grounds of strengthening the French naval power in the Far East, the latest Charles . The battleship Martel and an older battleship Colbert were sent to Saigon, and together with the original Far East Fleet, they had enough strength to influence the situation, and the French government had publicly stated that they would firmly defend the Franco-Russian alliance, with the implication that if the British wanted to attack Vladivostok again, then don't blame us for joining the war.

In this case, the British had to restrain their arrogance in the Far East, knowing that the situation in this sea area is becoming more and more complicated, the German fleet has not left so far, and it is estimated that they are not ready to leave, before the Kagoshima base is built, with Taiwan's Keelung, Tamsui, and Dagou three ports as their home port, relying on Mawei and Dagou's shipyards for maintenance, and providing ammunition with two arsenals in Taiwan and Hanyang, life is very comfortable, and even the German government does not need investment. Their raids in Japan lasted for a year without any stress.

In addition, there is Yang Feng's Swedish fleet in Mawei Harbor, although this fleet does not have large warships, but it is still not to be underestimated, these guys are too fast, and the only ones in the Far East can compare with them, only the four Viper-class ships of the British Navy.

With the addition of those two battleships, the French Far East Fleet already had the strength to fight a decisive battle with the British fleet, plus the Russian fleet in the Sea of Japan, and another Russian fleet with two Catherine-class battleships as the core was also coming.

In addition, there is also the Chinese Navy, although the Beiyang Naval Division has been split, but this is the only one in the navies of various countries that has real experience in large-scale ironclad duels, both in terms of strength and quality, it is not to be underestimated, the British in these fleets carefully calculated, the only one who can be considered relatively close to them, is only Yang Feng, after all, this guy also has countless assets in the UK, and it is not an exaggeration to say that his main assets are in the UK.

"There must be no problem for me to act jointly with your country, speaking of which Britain is the same as my second motherland, even if Britain is invaded and I leave everything here and run back to war, I will not say a word, but if I help Japan, this is somewhat inappropriate, you also know that I don't like this country very much, unless they can come up with benefits worthy of me." Yang Feng said.

"Your Excellency the Governor, the country is already poor." Bulkel said with a smile.

Japan is indeed very poor, one of the four islands has been sent out of the four islands, and one has been robbed by others, this cannot be robbed back in any case, even if the northern occupied area can be snatched back, it has become a white land, not to mention things, even people have been captured by Russia and sent to Siberia as slaves, this is also a vent of anger after the Russians have gained too little, since you have no money, then take the meat to pay!

Men worked as coolies to open mines and log in Siberia, women worked as prostitutes for the Russian army, and the more beautiful ones were sent to Moscow to be sold to those dignitaries as toys, and even children were sold.

The two richest cities in the whole country were looted, all industries were almost wiped out, and they were also burdened with a body of lucrative debts, it is estimated that even if the war is over, it will have to be repaid for more than ten or twenty years.

Of course, this kind of shameless thing is what Yang Feng likes to do the most.

"That's true, they really can't get the money anymore, if they borrow money, no one will dare to lend them now, and it is of no use to me to cut the land, but if there is no benefit, I will definitely not send troops to help with this, so don't they still have four cruisers? Now it's useless for them to ask for the navy, and those four cruisers are also sunk by the Russians, so it's better to give them to me, although they are not worth a few dollars, but it is better than nothing. Yang Feng said.

The combined fleet now has three capital ships left in Matsushima, Naniwa, and Gao Chiho, plus the steel-hulled cruiser Kaohsiung, which is blocked in Kure Harbor and does not dare to go out, these four warships Yang Feng are useless, but they can be sold, especially the strength of the Naniwa is still very good.
