Chapter 847: There is cooperation in confrontation
Cooperating with the Qing army against Tsarist Russia is a condition that Yilu is absolutely unwilling to accept, the spirit of contract, and the guarantee of the balance of power in Europe, which is different from starting a war, which is completely treacherous and completely destroying the credibility of the British Empire!
In the future war, England still wants to intervene, this thing has been done, even if England wants to aid Tsarist Russia, I'm afraid Tsarist Russia will not want aid from the enemy, right?
But what Yang Meng said is right, now that the number of ships is limited, it is absolutely unrealistic to take away the British army in batches, Mikhail of Tsarist Russia will not sit idly by and take away the Russian mercenaries, and the Qing army will not allow it, this dilemma may only be replaced by the sacrifice of Tsarist Russia, right?
"We need time to think about this too!"
"That's a pity, you guys think about it slowly! If it's useful, we're ready to support our allies in England! ”
After smiling weirdly, Yang Meng stretched out his hand and asked Yilu and the others to leave.
Half a month, he was not much idle, engaged in breeding that is just a sideline, the real main business, is to frame England, because of the previous cooperation, now European and American countries are stationed in the five major commercial ports reporters, the number of these people, around two hundred, now arrived in Jinkou European and American reporters have more than 100 people, the next few days, the number will be more and more, reporting on the Far East War, is what many reporters can not refuse, let the Anglo-Russian coalition forces in Beitang kill each other, is Yang Meng's backhand.
There may not be many translators in Eagle and French in the Daqing Dynasty, but there are not a few translators in Russian, Northwest, Northeast, and Mongolia. Send a few to sow discord. It's also very easy.
In the vicinity of the Beitang barracks. A high platform was built that could overlook the British and Russian military camps, and the militia regiments blocking the sea were removed, and now the British and Russian Beitang camps and the Daqing militia camps seem to be two military camps facing each other.
Tampered with the content of the treaty, presumably the conditions for France's withdrawal from the army were also clear to the Tsarist side, and added a clause to the contract that was extremely unfavorable to Tsarist Russia. Coupled with the bizarre performance of the British army in the past few days, presumably Mikhail of Tsarist Russia will not be stupid enough to break with the British army in words.
As a drama, groups of militia groups are also using trenches to approach the British and Russian camps in Beitang.
In the militia camp, Yang Meng did not hide anything from European and American reporters, and this time he invited these reporters to report on the peace between the Qing Dynasty and the British Empire, and the progress of the matter. Yang Meng took out the original of the contract between the Qing Dynasty and England. These things are also quite attractive to journalists in Europe and the United States.
Yang Meng did not shy away from anything when planning the civil strife in Britain and Russia, and built a high platform so that reporters could take a few photos from afar, although the reporters were well-informed, but many people did not have a long-term vision, although Yang Meng's reaction was somewhat abnormal, but the attraction of these things was far less than the peace between the Qing Dynasty and England.
The outbreak of civil strife in Britain and Russia was because of a few flowering bombs that entered the camp of Tsarist Russia, and in the past few days, under the operation of Yang Meng, almost everyone in Tsarist Russia knew about the peace between England and the Qing Dynasty.
The news that England was going to leave the Russian mercenaries and fly alone was also in the barracks, and it was spread that the English warships were not enough, and once the British troops withdrew, the Qing army would exterminate the abandoned Russian mercenaries.
When a few flowering bombs outside the camp exploded in the camp of Tsarist Russia, although Mikhail and others also felt a little strange, they took the opportunity to make trouble, which was also something Mikhail had to do.
In the hearts of Mikhail and others, leaving the British army was the protection of the Russian mercenaries, and at the beginning of the civil strife, the Tsarist side did not plan to fight the British army, but with the participation of the militia group, the pace of civil strife became unstoppable.
The Tsarist side first opened fire on the British army, but the sporadic artillery fire fired by the militia on the British and Russian twin fires played a role in fueling the flames, and it only took more than an hour from the beginning of the limited confrontation to the fact that the British and Russians fought without distinguishing between the enemy and us.
There was anger in the hearts of the Russian mercenaries, during this period of time they were surrounded, the officers of Tsarist Russia, the control of the army is getting weaker and weaker, although the British side has the intention to curb the fire of civil strife, but the Russian side of the reluctance to relent, but also caused a backlash of the British army, the small flames of civil strife, slowly out of control, the Beitang camp within a radius of several miles, slowly shrouded by dense gunfire.
When Yang Meng led a team of European and American reporters to the high platform, the Beitang camp was in high spirits, because of the restraint of the commanders, artillery and other things were not used much, although the British and Russian sides fought fiercely, but the number of dead and wounded was not very large.
With the explanations of Yang Meng and others, the root cause of the contradiction is also clear, England unilaterally negotiated peace with the Qing Dynasty, which caused dissatisfaction on the part of Tsarist Russia, which is the origin of the civil strife.
Here Yang Meng is watching the play with a group of reporters, but the righteous law in the British and Russian camps over there can't hold his breath, the evolution of things is beyond everyone's imagination, although it can be expected that the Qing side has not played a good role, but the current situation has made England have to make a choice.
If this continues, the matter of peace will inevitably come to naught, and it will be too passive for England to negotiate with Tsarist Russia, but those red-eyed old hairy people will not listen to any advice at all, and now for the British side, the best choice is to unite the Qing army to deal with the Tsarist Russian mercenaries.
The army in Beitang is extremely important for the next war in India, England and Tsarist Russia are not friendly neighbors, since they have already abandoned Tsarist Russia, it is not unacceptable to fall into the well.
Arrange the generals below to block the offensive of the Russian mercenaries, Yilu took the negotiation team and went to the militia camp where Yang Meng was.
The civil strife in the Beitang camp this time should be completely planned by the Qing State, and the Duke Yang Meng of the Qing State wants to sprinkle salt on the wounds of the British Empire!
Although I have seen the cause and effect of the matter, the current shape is dominated by the English side. I want to retire safely. It is necessary to cooperate with the Qing army. Instead of the British army destroying the Russian mercenaries, it is better to join forces with the Qing army to jointly solve Mikhail's Russian mercenaries, so that the Tsarist Russia will have less hatred for England.
"Lord Duke, we are willing to cooperate with the Qing army!"
"Good! Sign a contract to let the English warships at sea unload their main guns, and we can deal with the Russian mercenaries together. ”
In front of European and American journalists. Yang Meng did not hide the ugly side of politics at all, and the current Qing Dynasty did not need pity or understanding at all, as long as the goal was achieved.
No matter how much Yang Meng's side works, the European and American world will not lightly recognize the Qing Dynasty, rather than compromise, it is better to be unscrupulous, cowards and madmen, and the European and American worlds are more afraid of madmen.
This time, we joined forces with England and invited a group of journalists from Europe and the United States. Yang Meng wants to use guò as the mouthpiece of these journalists and subvert the long-standing contractual relationship in Europe. With this time, there will be a next time, and slowly Europe's international relations will become a distrustless competition.
This is only the first step, after the defeat of Tsarist Russia, Yang Meng has a second step, once the contractual relationship is subverted, the so-called balance of power in Europe in England, there is no trust at all, this is also Yang Meng paved the way for the rise of Germany, with these things, the future of Europe, is bound to be in flames.
"Yes!"
In front of the reporters, undisguised negotiations are something that has never been done before, Yang Meng's actions put the British Empire in an absolutely disadvantageous position, but the current situation, by not thinking about it, once the war in the Beitang camp continues, the British side, I am afraid it will be difficult to return to the mainland safely.
"Rejoice! Inform you to go down and exterminate the Russian mercenaries! There is cooperation in confrontation, this is the relationship between our two countries, and in the next colony in England, we can also cooperate completely.
The investment of tens of millions of silver will be in place in the near future, and in the next two or three years, England will reap a huge amount of mining tax revenue in the colonies! ”
The battle plan, Yang Meng had already planned it, the Russian mercenaries were just dead people in the camp, and the battle was nothing, but Yang Meng's next words made Yilu's face change greatly.
Military cooperation is a helpless move, but the commercial cooperation that Yang Meng said is simply a matter of no shadow, and the priority of mining is just a treaty that delays time.
However, saying this in front of European and American reporters is extremely unfavorable to the British side, with these words, the relationship between Britain and Russia and the Qing Dynasty has completely changed, the war between Tsarist Russia and the Qing Dynasty is due to aggression, and the treachery of England is because of money, so that England in Europe, there is no credibility.
"You ......"
Although he was angry in his heart, due to the presence of European and American reporters, Yilu could not speak too clearly, and I am afraid that this time the blood loss will be decided.
"Huh...... Early tomorrow morning, the British army will embark on their return journey! ”
Yang Meng turned a blind eye to Yilu's anger, and it was still the same sentence, why bother in the first place!
The play is here and it's just the beginning, and in the afternoon, Yang Meng still has a big show!
The earthen wall of Beitang has almost collapsed, and after a few loud noises, the militia of the brigade poured into the British and Russian camp in Beitang, and the Tsarist side is now surrounded on all sides, and it is only a matter of time before the whole army is annihilated.
Constrained by the small camp and the strong local firepower, in the face of the massacre, although the Tsarist side insisted in its heart, it had to choose to surrender.
In the afternoon, the remaining tens of thousands of Russian mercenaries chose to surrender, and Yang Meng's drama had just begun, and groups of militia soldiers wearing English military uniforms began to massacre the surrendered Russian troops.
In the Beitang camp, the British, Russian and Qing Dynasty all knew that this was the Qing army slaughtering the Russian mercenaries, but the reporters on the high platform saw the British army slaughtering the prisoners of the Tsarist Russia, which is a bit subversive cognition.
"It can't be!"
Yilu, who watched the battle with Yang Meng, roared out in anger, this matter is beyond the scope of treachery, once the news of the British massacre and massacre of Tsarist Russian prisoners reaches Europe, then the war in the Far East, the British loss will be too great.
"Anything is possible! Maybe it was the betrayal of the British army that was not as angry as Tsarist Russia? ”
Yang Meng knew very well what was going on, but these could not be put on the table, during this time, the militia collected a lot of British military clothing, in order to use it in the war against Tsarist Russia now or in the future.
"Which ones are the Qing army below?"
Yilu is not a fool, thinking of the previous things, his forehead is also covered with cold sweat, this time the British army was completely used by the Qing army.
"That's right! Be quiet, there are some things, you know and I know, behind the support of Tsarist Russia, if you don't get it in the territory of Tsarist Russia, there will be an English army that slaughters civilians, hatred has been formed, and it is not easy to go back on your word! (To be continued......)
