The loss of Pinggu meant that the offensive and defensive battle with the city of Beijing had begun in an all-round way, and the soldiers of the Beiyang Army had just begun to show an unbelievable will to fight. The 3,000 soldiers defended Yuan Shikai's speech with their lives, preferring to die in battle rather than surrender.

When the Russians transported the bodies of the soldiers back to Beijing, Yuan Shikai personally went out, used a good coffin to collect Jin Yunpeng's body, and personally carried the coffin, and all the dignitaries in Beiyang wore linen and filial piety, and sent 3,000 soldiers to the cemetery.

Jin Yunpeng, a general of the Beiyang Army, was born in 1876. On April 27, 1907, he died in the Great Patriotic War for the defense of Beijing. In the first year of the Republic, he was posthumously awarded the rank of Major General of the Army and was rated as a first-class combat hero.

It was only the first attack and defense between the two sides. Although it ended in the victory of the Russians, Western military experts were also observing the battle, facing the Beiyang Army that would not retreat, and they all agreed that if the Russians had no way to destroy the resistance consciousness of the Beiyang soldiers, every step of the Russian army in the future would have to march with blood!

With these 200,000 troops around Akpolil, it may not be possible to defeat Beijing at all! The Russians had to put more force into Yuan Shikai's submission if they wanted to bring him to his knees.

Lao Maozi has already done this, although they are not fully mobilized like China, but a large number of conventional troops are being transferred to China. Yuan Shikai also had reinforcements, and Sun Wen in the south said that the revolutionary army obeyed the dispatch of the Beijing government, and Huang Xing, the commander-in-chief of the revolutionary army, expressed his willingness to bring troops to Beijing to fight that night.

None of these forces can stop Lao Maozi, China's most elite troops are the volunteers in the northeast! The bandits, who had come from the midst of the poor mountains and rivers, had grown into a very mature and real army after being baptized by the Russians and the Japanese and stepping on the corpses of their companions. Although Yuan Shikai has repeatedly said that the war with the Russians has only just begun because he was elected president, the military personnel of Western countries unanimously believe that the real battle is after the arrival of Russian reinforcements, and the time when the volunteers have gasped for breath is the most intense time of the war.

The Russians must be killed by Yuan Shikai before the Volunteers regain their combat effectiveness, and once Yang Dagui and Yuan Shikai join forces. First of all, he had the support of the whole of China, which would inevitably make this ferocious beast even more ferocious, and secondly, he might bring the whole of China into a strong national pride, and then the Russians would be in trouble.

When will Yang Dagui catch his breath? Everyone unanimously gave an approximate time, two months later.

This time is not a random guess, but is based on Yang Xiaolin's war losses against Japan this time, as well as the population and financial situation of Northeast China.

Not to mention anything else, at least Yang Xiaolin had to wait for the Germans to replenish him with heavy firepower before he could enter a new battle, 8,000 machine guns, 2,000 artillery pieces. There are also countless military supplies. The food stocks of the volunteers must also be in an emergency, these are all hard-headed goods, if they are lost, they are lost, if they are gone, they will not be there, and they will not be changed.

Although the Germans had already prepared firepower for Yang to fight the ghost as fast as possible, it was really too far from Germany to the northeast, and two months was already the shortest time, so the German fleet would not encounter any trouble. Yang Dagui can recuperate in Changbai Mountain safely.

On May 1, 1907, three cargo ships finally arrived in Dalian.

Now Dalian is already Commander Yang's, and when the Japanese occupied it in the past two years, they adopted a monopoly on China, except for the Japanese. Other countries have hardly any business to do here, and even if they do, they have to pay high fees to Japan for goods leaving the port. This is also the reason why the British supported Yang Xiaolin and the Japanese for a period of time after the end of the Russo-Japanese War, and slowly those foreigners stopped coming.

Now Commander Yang has beaten away the Japanese army. Even the merchant ships of Little Japan are not coming.

The huge Dalian port was empty, and Du Yuesheng didn't need to pilot the ship when he drove it in. In order to send some supplies to Yang Xiaolin, Du Yuesheng really tried his best, but in the fleet of foreigners, he blocked the sea traffic in the entire Northeast. When the Japanese were heavily armed in Liaoxi, two successive transports failed.

This time it was only because Commander Yang won the battle.

Although the foreigners' fleet has not yet said that it will abandon the blockade of the Northeast, because of the German aid to the Northeast, the so-called blockade no longer exists. When their cargo ship sailed out of Shanghai, the Germans sent a warship from Jiaozhou Bay to escort them all the way, which really made the journey much smoother.

The Germans sent only small ships, but the British and French warships did not come up to stop the Germans when they saw them. As long as Europe did not declare war for a day, it would be impossible for Britain, France, Japan and Russia to fire on German warships.

The three merchant ships hired by Du Yuesheng were all large cargo ships, loaded with more than 15,000 tons of food, medicine, clothing, and various daily necessities.

For the current Northeast, these supplies are really not here to heal, but to save lives. The foreign adults calculated very accurately, Yang Xiaolin's combat consumption during this period of time was very large, and he almost used up the little food he had stored before, and at the same time, after the Japanese withdrew from Liaoxi, it was impossible for him to say that he would leave Liaoxi alone.

The lives of the common people, the children's studies, and Yang Xiaolin's determination to fulfill the promise made before the war to compensate the villagers for their losses all needed supplies. The batch sent by Du Yuesheng was far from enough, but Commander Yang was still very excited, because when the ship docked, it was not that the supplies were coming, but that the road was open!

"Big brother!"

Du Yuesheng stood on the side of the boat and began to beckon desperately when he saw Yang Xiaolin, for the current Du Yuesheng, it is something he is proud of to have such a big brother as Yang Dagui. Yang Xiaolin's hand waved at him.

As soon as the boat stopped, the sampan was put down, and Du Yuesheng jumped to Yang Xiaolin's side with a few steps: "Big brother, brother didn't do things well this time, I wanted to send you something earlier, but I didn't take the road." ”

Yang Xiaolin patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, I know you did your best." There are some things that we try our best to do, and don't care too much about the outcome. ”

Du Yuesheng was quite ashamed, he always thought that Yang Xiaolin gave him such care, but he couldn't help his eldest brother when he needed help the most, and he was a little sorry for Yang Xiaolin.

Commander Yang glanced back at him, obviously knowing his thoughts: "Don't think that you are doing well in Shanghai now, in fact, you are still much more immature in handling some things." There are tasks that you can't accomplish, and setting your goals too high will only make you disappointed in yourself. Seriously, Yuesheng, I'm very satisfied with the fact that you brought me so many things. ”

Du Yuesheng scratched his head: "These are not only from me, a large part of them are donations from overseas Chinese, Mr. Situ Meitang from the United States has sent you a lot of medicines during this period of time, but I couldn't transport them to you, and I lost a lot." ”

The volunteers and militiamen, who had been prepared in advance, brought down boxes and boxes of goods from the ship.

If the Japanese have contributed anything to Dalian in the past few years in Dalian, it is that they have really planned Dalian very well, and the distinction between residential houses, military camps and government agencies is very clear, which is better than what Commander Yang's Liaoping has done!

Little Japan's ability to manage the city is indeed much stronger than Yang Xiaolin's, not only in the layout of the city, but even Dalian has special sanitation workers, and the stalls on the streets are also very orderly, compared to Liaoping is much inferior.

It's not as good as others, it's not as good as people, Liaoping's sanitation is now all about cleaning the snow in front of the door, and Commander Yang regularly organizes the army to clean up the villagers. The vendors in Liaoping also occupy the road, Commander Yang has never taken care of them, as long as he leaves a way out to walk, he originally thought it was good, but it was not good to come here to see.

Not to mention how well the Japanese built Dalian, at least Commander Yang felt that he was indeed better than himself as soon as he came in and saw this. Yang Xiaolin had asked Chen Tianhua to do some research in Dalian, and then learn from Dalian's urban management model, and at the same time asked Mr. Hoffmann to give him some information about the construction of Qingdao by the Germans, hoping to help the Northeast and build a real city of their own.

The layout of the Japanese has also brought great convenience to Commander Yang today, and those so-called government agencies have all been changed into schools, elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools by Yang Xiaolin. And the barracks that have been vacated are just used to stack this batch of supplies.

Yang Xiaolin said to Du Yuesheng while watching: "Yuesheng, are you going to go back this time?" ”

Du Yuesheng immediately said: "I listen to the arrangement of the eldest brother, if the eldest brother asks me to go back, I will go back." But I think it would be nice if I could fight with you. ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Commander Yang's mouth, let Du Yuesheng go to the battlefield? It's not that it can't be done, but it's wasteful. The battlefield is not his stage, and he has only two results as a soldier, either the army destroys him, or he destroys a unit.

"You better go back, the current situation in Shanghai is very special, I have news that the Japanese Black Dragon Society will take action against Chen Qimei in Shanghai, I believe Chen Qimei also knows, I am a little uncertain about the things there, you go over and help me watch me rest assured......"

Yang Xiaolin lowered his head and pondered for a while: "I'll tell you the truth, I haven't figured out how to deal with the matter of the Qinggang until now. The rise of the Qing Gang can be said to be caused by the Manchu Qing Dynasty's loss of control over Shanghai, unlike other gangs, if it is killed with a stick, not to mention that the Qing Gang is not convinced, Shanghai may also cause chaos. I have a preliminary idea, which is for you to cooperate with them to make the Green Gang an organization like the Japanese Black Dragon Society, which can do some things for our country in the future that are inconvenient for the government to do. ”

Du Yuesheng hurriedly said: "Yes, then I'll go back, I think I have to talk to Chen Qimei about this matter first." Big brother, this time I brought a brother from Shanghai to come together, he knows the things of the Qinggang best, you can ask him. ”

Yang Xiaolin looked behind him, last time Du Yuesheng brought Wang Yaqiao, who was it this time? Jiang Zhiqing didn't flinch, and when he saw Yang Xiaolin's gaze, he took two steps forward, but there was a trace of embarrassment on his face: "Commander Yang, do you remember me?" ”

Yang Xiaolin looked him up and down: "Oh, it's you, this little deflated three?" (To be continued......)
