Chapter 361: North Korea 2
"First, Outer Mongolia will revoke its autonomy, and the administrative power will be completely vested in the central government."
"Second, the Outer Protector is controlled by the Kulen clerks, Kobdo, Uriya Sutai, Kyakhta and other places."
"Third, the assistant officials of the local office are all Mongolian princes, and China does not immigrate to Outer Mongolia."
"Fourth, the restoration of the Khan, the princes, and the Taiji were changed from the Qing Dynasty's salaries to local salaries in Beijing;"
"5. Allow the princes of Outer Mongolia to send representatives to the Chinese Congress;"
"Sixth, the expenses of the Chinese army stationed in Outer Mongolia shall be borne by Outer Mongolia"
"Seventh, the living Buddha retains the honorific title of "Bogda Khan", and the living Buddha and the Buddha's mother receive an annual salary of 66,000 taels every year, and preferential treatment is given to lamas and monasteries. ”
"However, these Mongol princes said that most of the tax revenue is now occupied by the monk group, and they are afraid that the burden will be too heavy, and it is not appropriate for the central government to send too many troops over, and it is better to have three or four battalions of troops." Xu Shichang added.
"These Mongolian princes are not willing to be completely controlled by the black party, but they are also afraid that it will be easy for the central government to invite God after sending troops to Mongolia." After listening to Xu Shichang's preliminary agreement, Qin Yu couldn't help but sigh, he could understand the kind of worry when his own nation had no strength and had to rely entirely on external forces, "If you want to take the central government's money, it's not difficult, this person always likes to live a good life, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in the current conditions of Waimeng, but it must be made clear in advance, if you want to get a salary from the central government, you can also get a salary from the central government, and the Republic of China can not immigrate on a large scale for the time being, but the workers needed to open mines and build roads, if the Mongolian people can't meet the needs, This situation needs to be exceptional, and the Mongolian people need to provide corresponding convenience for the economic activities of the Republic of China in Mongolia. ”
Relatively speaking. At this time, the total population of the entire Outer Mongolia was only about 100,000, distributed in a huge area of 1 million square kilometers. The number of officials is not much, and with the offerings from the living Buddha, it is probably hundreds of thousands a year, and it will not exceed one million. Moreover, the Outer Mongolian Yellow Party and the Black Party fought fiercely, and this time the Central Army entered Mongolia. It is necessary to suppress the mafia led by the lama clique and redivide its interests.
Although the Northeast has been building roads on a large scale before, and the railway has been advanced into Outer Mongolia at this time, it is the strong pressure of the Northeast that makes the people of Mongolia succumb, and if the other party can take the initiative to match, the effect will undoubtedly be much better. Outer Mongolia produces gold, but due to equipment reasons, the output has not been able to increase.
The Mongolian people will naturally not let go of the gold deposits that have appeared, but the Mongolian people do not have the technology to survey, after the railway is built. As long as one or two large-scale mineral deposits are found, the administrative expenses paid to Outer Mongolia will be flattened, once the railway is built, the commerce that runs through the two places is also a large amount of income, and Outer Mongolia is returned to the central government, its strategic significance is not trivial, the Soviet Union and the Republic of China. Whoever controls Outer Mongolia will have the initiative in the Far East.
"Yuchen, you think about it. Speaking of military affairs, I am a layman, and according to the requirements of the Mongolian people, the strength of the army should not exceed one regiment for the time being. The barracks are all an expense, Yuchen, which army do you think is appropriate to send over? ”
"Since Yan Xishan has shown his loyalty to the central government, he should naturally listen to the orders of the central government, and transfer a regiment from the Jin army to Outer Mongolia." Qin Yu thought for a while and said, the first choice of the Jin army is that the Jin army is under the governance of Yan Xishan, and the military discipline is quite strict. The second is that Zhili and Shanxi will sandwich Beijing in the center, and if the armies of these two provinces are not completely subdued, Qin Yu is not stable enough to sit in Beijing, and the current start from the military in Shanxi is just the beginning.
"In addition, after the troops arrive, let Chen Yi inquire about the news over there in Tangnu Wulianghai, I heard that it has been occupied by the Russians, since Outer Mongolia has announced the withdrawal to the central government, it is natural that the Russians are not allowed to stay in Outer Mongolia wantonly."
"Okay, that's how it will be arranged." Xu Shichang nodded and said, "The negotiations over there in Shanghai have reached a preliminary intention, when will Guan Yu arrive?" ”
At this time, the central government was extremely short of money, but fortunately, Qin Yu had already borrowed 20 million from the Northeast before, otherwise this time Shandong would be disarmed, and the two provinces of Henan would have to have a hole. Therefore, for Guan Yu, Xu Shichang is also very concerned.
"There are 13 million on the central side and more than 3.9 million in the south. From next month, the balance will be paid in batches and six times. As for the issue of tariff autonomy, there will be an eyebrow next month. Qin Yu said a relatively conservative time, tariff autonomy and customs surplus are two concepts. Guanrussia refers to the surplus of customs duties controlled by the British after paying reparations to the Great Powers.
"Okay, Yuchen, you have only been in the central government for a long time, and you have laid down such a situation, if you pay taxes again, the current predicament of the central government will be solved, and the prosperity of the Republic of China is hopeful." Xu Shichang said excitedly.
"The Republic of China has not yet been reunified, and the provinces that the central government can influence at the moment are still limited to the north of the Yangtze River, and the control of the south of the Yangtze River is still almost none, and there is still a long way to go." Qin Yu shook his head, although the shape was acceptable, it was far from being very optimistic.
Xu Shichang smiled, this situation is better than when Yuan Shikai was in charge of several northern provinces at the beginning, but the young man's requirements are high, and he is very satisfied with the negotiations in Shanghai, which not only retains his position as president, but also temporarily realizes the peace between the north and the south. A large number of troops have been abolished to save military spending, and there is a surplus to deal with it, although the central government is still in financial difficulties at present, it is not as bad as it was when Duan Hefei was in the previous period, and there is no hope in sight.
"Another thing, regarding the equipment used by the government in the future, there must be a clear provision that in order to support the development of domestic industry, administrative equipment, stationery and equipment for education will be given priority to domestic enterprises. The people still boycott foreign goods, and those of us who are officials can't worship foreign flattery and bring bad heads. Cars, telephones, electric fans, pen and ink appliances are few that cannot be produced in Northeast China. Marching and fighting, slapping the table with foreigners, I am good at this, if I really want to say that the connections in Beiyang, thoughtful and sleek, it is the president who is in the line. ”
"Haha, okay, I'll take the lead in this matter, don't worry, Yuchen. It's going to be done. "People like to listen to good words, Xu Shichang is no exception, seeing Qin Yu admit to his face that there is also a place to rely on him, Xu Shichang is extremely useful." Well, by the way, after the peace talks with the South are over. Zhu Qichao has already set off from the south and will be able to return to Beijing tomorrow. ”
Qin Yu nodded, Zhu Qichao has some reputation in the industry, he also has administrative experience, and he has a good reputation, and he is a good candidate to serve as the mayor of Beijing.
…………
In Tieshan County, Zhang Xuemin divided more than 1,000 volunteer soldiers into three parts. Most of them were arranged in the woods, and there were more than 400 people scattered in the dwarf trees on both sides of the narrow road. Two Taisho three-year heavy machine guns were placed on a high place, covered with tree branches.
"Hehe, just wait for the Japanese reinforcements from Xuanchuan County to come." Zhang Xuemin looked at the ambush circle he had arranged with satisfaction, returned to Li Shuo's voice and said, "It must be strictly ordered, the heavy machine guns will not be fired, and the people below will never be allowed to shoot." Got it? ”
"Yes, don't worry. This time, we must destroy the Japanese troops in Xuanchuan County and Tieshan County. Li Shuo nodded vigorously, in the past, even if the rebel army encountered a small group of Japanese troops, it only had to go around, but after getting a large number of ordnance from the northeast and encountering hundreds of Japanese troops, Li Shuo also had the certainty of surrounding and annihilating them. The military skills are super strong, and with their help, it didn't take long for the soldiers to improve their suzhì by a few grades.
"Also, don't rush around. The pistol team is used to deal with the bayonets of the Japanese army, don't underestimate them, the bullets are gone, they can be replenished from the northeast, and the lives of our volunteers are precious. "Zhang Xuemin is not used to the stinginess of Li Shuo, Jiang Fengtao and other leaders of the rebel army, and he is reluctant to waste any bullets at all.
"Consultant Zhang, rest assured, I can distinguish the priorities." Jiang Fengtao nodded, and then said with some suspicion, "Cui Zhengyu is attacking the county seat of Tieshan County over there, and they don't have siege weapons, so there shouldn't be a problem." ”
"There is Advisor Jiang over there, and the Japanese army never expected that we already had the strength to fight them head-on, and this time they will suffer a loss." Zhang Xuemin said hesitantly.
In the county seat of Tieshan County, people come and go from time to time, some carrying loads of goods, and some pushing small carts. Seven or eight Japanese soldiers at the low gate of the city carried out normal garrison duties, and at the main gate of the city, a heavy machine gun was also placed, which was already an unshakable existence for the Korean people, who did not even have many iron weapons in their hands, although there were riots in other places at one time mobs with dozens of rifles. However, except for some people who marched in Iron Mountain County, there are no threatening targets for the time being.
"These untouchables are really troublesome, just submit to the rule of the empire, and even want to be independent from the empire, and the only way to kill all those who commit rebellion is to kill them all." Jiu Zhe Ming Er stood at the gate of the city, looking at the ordinary people coming and going with a fierce face. Passers-by avoided his gaze.
"That is, with that little mob, you can only survive for a few days by going into the mountains, and if you want to fight the soldiers of our empire, even if you want to step into the county after 10,000 years." Ma Shen Jiuji sneered and said, "It's a shame that these untouchables in Tieshan County didn't riot on a large scale, otherwise they would have to be killed, and it would be a waste of food to live." ”
"Stop?" Mashin Kuji stopped a dung truck and scolded.
Jiang Shaobo's face was stained with ash and sweat, and the smell on his body was unusually unpleasant, and the other three or four people who were pushing the cart with him were like this, and before he could speak, Ma Shen Jiuji smelled the pungent smell of the dung bucket, waved his hand impatiently, and motioned for a few people to go in.
With a sneer on his face, Jiang Shaobo pushed the drying cart to a compound in the county seat, and took out several boxes of things from the bottom of the dung truck, grenades, box guns, rifles, everything.
"Advisor Jiang, there are already more than 100 of us in the city, and it is already easy to take that city gate, and we can do it." Cui Zhengyu said excitedly.
Jiang Shaobo nodded, "Wait a minute, you and Qian Houde will take thirty people to the city gate, grab the heavy machine gun as quickly as possible, and kill the Japanese soldiers guarding the city gate, I will take the rest of the people to rely on the buildings in the county to ambush and reinforce the Japanese troops in the past. Jiang Shaobo arranged.
"Okay, that's it." Like Li Shuo and others, Cui Zhengyu has great trust in these military advisers from the Northeast. The skills of the other party's marching and fighting and training are enough to throw these leaders off a few streets, Cui Zhengyu naturally didn't know that these consultants were the elite from the Northeast Special Operations Brigade, even in the Republic of China, they were also the top group of individual soldiers, and they, the Korean natives who had not yet become an army, were naturally shocked after seeing the other party's methods.
After the two sides assigned the task, Cui Zhengyu took Qian Houde and other thirty people to approach the city gate. Qian Houde also came out of the special operations brigade, and since the more than 30 soldiers of the special operations brigade who entered Korea instigated riots in various places, they quickly entered the various rebel armies and guided the rebels to carry out sneak attacks on the Japanese army, blow up bridges, blow up railways, cut down telephone poles, and cut telegraph lines.
The carriage was pulled out of the city with weeds, and two Japanese soldiers from Mashen Jiuji came over to inspect it routinely. In the past, there were always hundreds of such inspections, and if it wasn't for the more expensive materialization, there was no oil and water to fish, so they were just casually looked. Kuji Mashin was carrying a rifle and was about to stab a few times in the weeds with his bayonet.
"Do it!" Qian Houde roared violently, pulled out the box cannon from the car, and shot two shots, knocking down Ma Shen Jiuji and another person, and before the Japanese soldiers could react, the weeds on the carriage rose into the sky, and two or three people jumped out of the carriage one after another and shot at several other Japanese soldiers who were caught off guard.
Jiu Zheming sprung to the heavy machine gun alertly, his hand just reached the handle of the heavy machine gun, and his chest suddenly hurt in the chaotic gunfire.
More than a dozen volunteer soldiers who had already left the city just now and those who were waiting to be inspected behind them came one after another.
In a few moments, eight Japanese soldiers were shot several times and were already dead.
"Push the car over, block in the middle, you two, watch the heavy machine guns, guard this city gate, and receive the army into the city!" Cui Zhengyi kicked aside a Japanese corpse, and the Japanese army, which was very tricky in the past, was killed so lightly, which made the fear in the hearts of these long-term Japanese fears also reduced a lot.
The movement at the city gate quickly alarmed the Japanese army in the city, and the gunfire in the city rang out in the distance, and more than 100 righteous soldiers here had already entered the city on horseback, and the remaining brigades were coming a little slower, and they were also coming in a steady stream.
"Baga, these Koreans dare to rebel against the rule of the empire, come with me and kill all those mobs." The captain of the infantry squadron in the city jumped like thunder after hearing the explosion, and immediately gathered all the soldiers and police, and rushed to the city gate with great momentum.
However, the Japanese squadron leader did not expect that this attack on the county town was not those low-equipped small Korean rebel troops, but a large team of more than 1,500 troops, each of whom was equipped with Japanese-made 38 rifles that could be compared with them, as well as hand grenades.
