While the Chinese Navy's carrier-based aircraft were wantonly ravaging Manila, the real landing fleet had already moved to Batangas, and after easily sweeping away a small number of mines laid by the Russians, it began to rush to the beach under the cover of the fleet's artillery fire.

Sukhomlinov has only 100,000 Russian troops in total, such a force is impossible to carry out a comprehensive defense on Luzon Island to block the landing of the Chinese, so his strategy is very clear is to hold Manila, south of the inner lake is defensible and abandonable, the real defense line is in the narrow area on the west bank of the inner lake, where there are a large number of reinforced concrete permanent fortifications, and the east bank of the inner lake is a continuous mountain forest completely defenseless, and the surface of the inner lake for tens of kilometers is also not needed, and then the flank can hold Manila Bay, In this way, the limited forces in his hands were concentrated to the maximum.

As for cities like Badayan, which were not within the scope of defense, only a brigade was left to garrison vigilantly, and these thousands of Russian troops were very clever in abandoning the city and retreating north when battleships appeared on the sea, and the two divisions of the Chinese Marine Corps, which were responsible for seizing the beach, occupied Badayan almost without any resistance. Here they were welcomed like relatives by the remnants of the Filipino monkeys and Japanese coolies, and the Tagalog girls, who were tortured by the Russians to the point of dying, hated to throw themselves into the streets, but the disciplined Chinese soldiers resolutely rejected their good intentions, which for a time made the Filipino monkeys feel even more impressed by the royal demeanor.

"Who can do this kind of goods!" The commander of the 1st Marine Division looked at the black monkeys with melancholy faces and said speechlessly.

"Commander, do you want to find you a big ocean horse?" The orderly next to him whispered very knowingly.

"The division commander's seeds are left for his own fields, wouldn't it be a waste to plant them on these inferior peoples!" The division commander said with a straight face.

"Commander, this kind of thinking of yours is not good, but now you pay attention to ethnic equality, you belong to the racial Qi Dynasty!" The orderly said with a smile.

"Equality? Wait until they're all rare animals! If there are only a few thousand of them left, I will not only give them equality, but also give them preferential treatment. The division commander said with a sneer.

Of course, Emperor Yang didn't know that the issue of race in his army was now very strict. However, even if he knew, he would only encourage and not suppress, and in fact, Emperor Yang had been working hard in this regard. The battle of Luzon has begun, and then it is a matter of time, the air is constantly bombarding Manila and the surrounding Russian army indiscriminately, and the ground troops are steadily advancing north along the east bank of the inner lake after completing the landing, as for the remnants of the Russian fortresses at that time, it is nothing more than heavy bombs and super-large caliber howitzers smashing hard, Manila's defense system is even one level worse than Shuangchengzi, and even the 540 giant cannon is not needed. The 280 guns were easily solved, not to mention that the marines also had the naval artillery support of the battleships.

At the beginning of the Battle of Luzon, in the ice and snow of Vladivostok, the Third Army led by Duan Qirui also began an attack on Vladivostok. It was too fast to explain to the Germans, and at the current pace, it would be satisfactory to take Vladivostok in two months.

As for the two group armies led by Wang Shizhen and Feng Guozhang, they were in the vast land east of Lake Baikal at this time. Slowly, one city after another, receiving Russians, of course, was mainly the repatriation of Russian immigrants, who were no less slow because of the climate and the frequent snowstorms. But the results were still brilliant, and almost every day the newspapers were filled with news of the conquest of such and such a city, and then the Russian refugees who were transported to the country by car by railway to Guò. So far, the total has exceeded two million.

These refugees who were then sent back to Europe by Swedish merchant ships almost made Nikolai's nose crooked, and now the workers in Russia's major cities march every day, coupled with the instigation of the chaotic party, it is even more frequent, in the final analysis, there is only one reason for these, there is not enough food to eat, the war has caused the loss of young and middle-aged labor in the Russian countryside, plus a large area of the country has become a battlefield, food production has dropped sharply every year, especially in some European cities There have even been starvation deaths, On the other hand, in Asia, because of the sparse land and dense forests, there is no need to worry about this problem.

It's good now, Yang Feng robbed him of the place and sent the people back, what did he use to feed the millions of mouths that suddenly had an extra few mouths? These people don't even have a home in Europe, except for some personal belongings plus a hundred yuan from Yang Feng, they don't have anything else, not only do they need him to support but also need him to provide a place to live, how can he do it in his current situation?

As a result, because of Nikolai's limited ability and the procrastination of Russian officials, these repatriated Russian refugees were all crowded in the major ports on the Baltic Sea coast, one by one in the biting cold wind of this winter, and some people froze to death every day. Returning refugees are like dry powder kegs that could ignite at any moment.

"Your Majesty's move is really high!" Attendant Yuan looked at the latest information in his hand and couldn't help but sigh with heartfelt emotion.

"But the minister still doesn't understand a little, why did His Majesty give them money?" He then asked suspiciously, no matter from which point of view, the 100 Chinese dollars seemed to affect the effect of this, giving money to the Russian refugees, they could buy food in Sweden, and even they could use it back home, the Russian ruble is now like waste paper, the Chinese dollar is the real hard currency, one Chinese dollar on the black market in St. Petersburg can even be exchanged for 50 rubles, you must know that before the war, one ruble could be exchanged for more than 2 Chinese dollars.

"The Russians like Huayuan, don't Nikolai like it? He buys arms from Sweden, what does he have to use for food? Is there anyone still asking for rubles? Where can he get Huayuan now? If a million refugees bring back 100 million Chinese yuan, won't he covet this money? What is Huayuan to us? The printing plant of the People's Bank of China is running at full capacity, printing hundreds of millions a day! Yang Feng said compassionately.

"High, really high!" Chief Yuan raised his thumb in surprise and said.

Nikolai lost a green hat and sent his wife to Yang Feng's bed, but only exchanged a billion Chinese yuan loan for him, and now a million Russian refugees can bring back 100 million Chinese yuan, if all the Russians in the Far East are repatriated, it will be almost a billion Chinese dollars, such a huge amount of money is simply an irresistible delicacy for Nikolai, who is currently thinking about Hua Yuan's eyes are blood-red, as for not in his own pocket, what's the big deal, let the printing house print a bunch of rubles to force those refugees to redeem huàn, If you don't pay it, you will be thrown directly into prison, and a simple order for foreign exchange control can be solved.

And then what will those refugees who are full of hatred for him because they have nothing to do, after he takes away the property that saved his life in the end, this is needless to say.

While the two were complacent about the scourge of Russia, an attendant came in and reported that the Anglican bishop in China had asked for an audience, and because of the faith of His Majesty the Emperor and Empress, it was difficult for such a wild fox to enter the palace, unlike the archbishop of the Catholic diocese of China, who could enter and leave the palace at will.

Although the British were already at war at this time, since the other party was a clergyman, it was naturally difficult to refuse, so Emperor Yang immediately invited the bishop in, and the two sides talked to know that the bishop was helping the governor of Calcutta to bring the word, or to contact the surrender. The British there could no longer hold on, not that the Asan's attack on them was too fierce, in fact, there were tens of thousands of British troops and militia in Calcutta, and the reason why the Asan's fighting power did not have the guts to provoke them at all, and the reason why the British were forced to surrender was very simple, cholera.

Large-scale cholera broke out in the lower reaches of the Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers in India, and this cholera not only came suddenly but also extremely ferocious, infecting millions of people on both sides of the river in a very short time, and is still spreading at a rate of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people per day, and has now spread to Calcutta, this terrible plague will cause countless deaths every day, the virus does not care whether the white man or the three, the city of Kolkata has begun to take trucks to transport dead bodies, At this rate, it won't take more than a month for the city to become empty.

Now the only option for the British is to flee Calcutta, but the problem is that they have nowhere to escape, China has completely controlled the Indian Ocean after occupying Colombo, they cannot return to Europe, as long as they go to sea can only be prisoners of the Chinese Navy, not to mention that they do not have enough ships to leave, originally Curzon was actually waiting for the Chinese to come to the door and then he simply surrendered, but after waiting for so long Emperor Yang is like forgetting him, now he really can't wait, and if he waits, he will all have to diarrhea and die in Calcutta, So just put your face out and beg Emperor Yang to hurry over and invade!

"Your Majesty, for God's sake, hurry up and send troops to India, right? It was too late, for more than a thousand people died in Kolkata yesterday day, and the plague was still spreading, and it was already like hell! His Excellency said with tears in his eyes.

Of course, he would not have known that the source of this terrible cholera in India was the fact that His Majesty the Emperor in front of him had poured two tons of cholera virus into two rivers. (To be continued......)
