Yang Xiaolin's breath that hadn't come out of the country was suffocated: "What's the matter?" ”

Something really happened, Zaitao was leaving, and the Russians had already begun to transport troops to Mukden.

If the Russians use knives and guns to force Zaitao to go, Zaitao will never give in, this method has been used by the Russians, and their guns and can't make this twenty-year-old prince bend his young backbone on the battlefield.

However, a telegram from the city of Beijing completely crushed Zaitao, and the Russians easily won a victory at the negotiating table that they could not achieve on the battlefield.

When the news spread that the Qing army was going to withdraw, the people of Fengtian were very panicked, and the rich people hurriedly hired a carriage to go to Jinzhou, and the people who had no money also took care of their children and helped them to leave here. A few years ago, Fengtian was beaten down by Lao Maozi, and the brutality of the Russians still remains in the memory of these people, who originally thought that Zaitao had won the battle against the Russians, and they would not suffer such a bad luck again, but they never thought that the imperial court would actually leave!

Panic and despair spread rapidly in Mukden City, and the noisy and mournful cries of the streets outside reached Zaitao's ears from time to time, but he sat on his chair dumbfounded, motionless.

He didn't do anything, not even care about the retreat of the army. It's been two days and one night, and Zaitao is sitting like this. Don't make a sound, don't sleep, don't eat. The blow he received was really very big, not the wounds caused to him by the bullets of the enemy on the battlefield, but the pain of being stabbed by his own people, which hurt in his heart.

When Zhao Erxun came in again, he saw Zaitao's lips slightly open, and his eyes looked at Fang Liang with blank eyes, looking like a dead man. Zhao Erxun was a little frightened, and called softly: "Master, master? ”

Zaitao's lips trembled, and two vague characters spit out: "Not dead." ”

Zhao Erxun held a bowl of porridge in front of Zaitao: "Master, can you take a sip?" ”

Zaitao didn't have any reaction, Zhao Erxun didn't know what to persuade, what should have been said had already been said, in fact, Zhao Erxun's heart was the same anger, he also saw the blood of those Qing soldiers, and also saw everyone's efforts, which also included his sweat. When they exchanged their efforts for such an ending, all the Qing troops in the entire Mukden had a feeling of being betrayed.

Zhao Erxun gently put the rice bowl beside Zaitao, and a Qing soldier knocked on the door and came in: "Lord Qiqi, Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Guan are outside the door to ask to see." ”

Zaitao is a person who counts, he said that whoever catches the Russian major general will be promoted to three levels Zhang Zuolin has been promoted to three levels in a row, and now he is in charge, but before Zhang Zuolin has a chance to expand the team, the Qing army will leave Fengtian and go to Jinzhou.

Zaitao didn't seem to hear it, Zhao Erxun quietly walked to the side of the pro-soldier and whispered, "Let him go back!" There's nothing to bother the prince now! ”

The soldiers glanced at Zaitao, and then retired: "Huh." ”

As soon as the soldier turned around, Zaitao suddenly spoke: "Call him in." ”

The soldiers answered and went to pass Zhang Zuolin in, Zaitao struggled to sit up from the chair, he was only in his twenties, but this action has not been done by an old man. Zhao Erxun hurriedly went up to support him: "Master, be careful, don't hurt your body." ”

Zaitao's hand waved towards him, signaling that he didn't need his help, and Zaitao's body shook a little when he stood up.

Zhang Zuolin came in from the door and saluted Zaitao: "Lord Wang." ”

Zaitao and Zhao Erxun looked at Zhang Zuolin, only to see that Zhang Zuolin was not wearing a military uniform this time, but wearing the kind of big coat of ordinary people.

Zaitao took a few steps towards Zhang Zuolin: "What's the matter?" ”

Zhang Zuolin was very angry when he came, and even planned to get angry at Zaitao, asking him that he was going to leave Fengtian, but now seeing Zaitao's appearance, the anger suddenly couldn't be released: "Lord, I'm here to resign from you." ”…,

"Resigned?"

"Well, the grass people and the grass people and those brothers have decided to stay in Mukden, please ask the prince for permission."

Zaitao's face trembled: "Yuting, have you figured it out?" ”

Zhang Zuolin said softly: "There's nothing to think about, the grass people are different from other generals, you are all officials of the imperial court, you must go when the imperial court asks you to go, and you can still come when the imperial court asks you to come." But the grass people are different, the grass people are still doing insurance in Mukden, and I promised those villagers to protect their safety, but the grass people can't go. ”

Zaitao didn't say anything more, and patted his hand on Zhang Zuolin's shoulder: "I know." ”

He walked to the washstand, poured a handful of cold water on his face with the basin of cold water, and then raised his head: "The things in the arsenal have not been moved yet, you can take as much as you want." ”

Zhang Zuolin clenched his fists: "Thank you, Lord Xie." ”

Zaitao didn't turn around, he held the washing shelf with both hands, faced the wall and said: "Remember, Ye has left you a place in the army, no matter what happens in the future, as long as you are alive, you can come at any time." ”

Zhang Zuolin nodded, he wanted to say something grateful but felt that it was completely unnecessary, he stood there for a while, and when he saw that Zaitao didn't look back, he didn't say anything anymore, and Chong Zaitao's back hugged his fist again: "Take care, Lord Wang." ”

After saying that, he strode away.

After Zhang Zuolin left, Zaitao slowly turned around, came to the table and took the bowl of porridge and drank it in one gulp, Zhao Erxun's heart finally let go of something, Zaitao put the bowl on the table, and then wiped his mouth clean: "Lord Zhao, you say, will the Russians return Mukden to us?" ”

Zhao Erxun didn't answer him, Zaitao tidied up his clothes, and then straightened his waist: "They won't return it to us, but the master must come back!" Assemble your team! ”

The Qing army's troops had already made preparations, and they waited for Zaitao's order to start retreating. This team is really different from before, they have been on the battlefield, they have won, and they know what glory is more than ever.

When they returned to the camp in triumph the other day, the people of Mukden City welcomed them in the streets, and when they dragged the Russians through the streets, the people gave them a warmth that they had never enjoyed. That feeling was really good, but I didn't expect it to disappear so soon, and now the people have returned to their previous attitude.

They didn't know what to say, more than 10,000 Qing troops stood in front of Zaitao in formation, and the entire parade ground was quiet, and no one said a word.

Zaitao walked past the Qing army at the front and looked at the faces of each of them.

When he walked to the middle of the team, Zaitao suddenly pulled out a short knife from his waist, Zhao Erxun was really startled, and hurriedly went up and grabbed his arm: "Master, what are you going to do!" ”

Zaitao shook him off, rolled up his sleeves, and carved two bloody square characters on the flesh of his arm with the tip of his knife: "Fengtian!" ”

Zhao Erxun was stunned, Zaitao didn't wipe off the bleeding arm, just walked up to the parade platform with his wounds exposed, he didn't say anything, and raised the arm high!

The blood immediately flowed down his arm into Zaitao's clothes, and Zaitao didn't shout a word, but Zhao Erxun felt a strong impact at this time! The same is true of those Qing troops, who suddenly erupted into an earth-shattering roar after a moment of silence:

"Mukden! Mukden! Mukden! ……”

This is really a big deal, it happened so suddenly, not only did Yang Xiaolin not react, but even the Japanese were very nervous. In history, Zeng Qi gave Fengtian to the Russians early, and little Japan was helpless, but now that Zaitao has won the war, the Japanese, like Yang Xiaolin, think that Mukden will not fall into the hands of the Russians, and they never expected that things would change so dramatically. …,

When the news came, a chain reaction came one by one like dominoes. First of all, Zaitao brought a large number of residents of Fengtian City to Jinzhou, and those villagers who really couldn't go that far also chose to flee to Yulun Mountain, and when the Russian army entered Mukden, they could no longer grab so many laborers to build fortifications for them.

In order to chase a group of Chinese who fled to Yulu Mountain, the Russians also had a small friction with Yang Xiaolin's troops in Houma Town, but then the Russians took a restrained attitude and voluntarily withdrew from the battlefield.

Lao Maozi was not smooth sailing in Mukden, and Zhang Zuolin led his men and horses to fight a few battles with the Russians.

Zhang Zuolin's resistance was a piece of cake for the Russians, their huge war machine did not take Zhang Zuolin or even Yang Xiaolin into account at all, Yang Xiaolin could only bring them trouble, and Zhang Zuolin obviously did not even have the qualifications to cause trouble.

However, in a short period of three or four days, Zhang Zuolin was continuously attacked by the Russian army, and only about 500 of the more than 3,000 brothers were left, and they fled into the mountains and forests north of Fengtian to persist in the struggle.

In history, it is precisely because of Zhang Zuolin's persistence that he surpassed Feng Delin in prestige, and when the Qing army came back again, although it did not completely reclaim Fengtian, it gave Zhang Zuolin the task of defending against the Russians and Japanese, so that he had the ability to expand his team on a large scale.

However, Feng Delin's troops suffered heavy casualties because they were cannon fodder for the Japanese, and they were affected by what the Japanese did in the war, recruiting soldiers became a very difficult thing, and they were also surpassed by Zhang Zuolin in terms of strength.

As for Yang Xiaolin, the Russians were still doing business with him, and the friction that had occurred a while ago seemed to have never happened at all, and they also sent someone up the mountain to tell Yang Xiaolin that they were willing to hand over Fushun to Yulu Mountain as agreed before. The condition was that 20,000 laborers must be organized to help the Russians build the fortifications of Mukden.

Lao Maozi also particularly emphasized that the outer defensive positions of Fengtian City must be arranged like Yang Xiaolin's position in Hongling Fort, using trenches as the main means of defense.

For this, they are willing to pay the wages of those laborers.

Lao Maozi made such a high posture, not because they were used to high posture. Russia is an ambitious country, and compromise is very difficult for them to accept. All these concessions are being made now because they don't want to be in trouble, and they do need labor.

Because the Japanese are already going to do it.

Of course, little Japan would not give Lao Maozi enough time for them to fight again with the impregnable foundation of Fengtian, and the Japanese could not wait to start the war by taking over Mukden by the Russians.

On January 25, the Japanese-Russian negotiations broke down, and the Japanese negotiators issued an ultimatum to the Russians, demanding that the Russian army withdraw from the Liaodong Peninsula within a month. On the 26th, Little Japan began to evacuate overseas Chinese in Lushun and Dalian. In the early morning of the 27th, the Japanese launched a surprise attack on the Russians without declaring war, and the decisive battle for little Japan and the military walk of the Russians began. This is a few days earlier than the eighth day of February in history, and I wonder if the Japanese have also turned over the yellow calendar and know that this day is an auspicious day for the zodiac, and it is advisable to do great things.
