Chapter 327: The Sacking of the Twin Cities

The Feng army defeated the Russians!

The news resounded over China like a thunderbolt, and the shock it produced was far beyond Zhang Tinglan's estimates, and since Shao Piaoping published several war reports through the newspapers, the whole of China has begun to boil.

Young students from all over the country suddenly discovered that there was still an army on Chinese soil that dared to argue with the great powers, and there was also an army that could fight for China's interests.

More and more Chinese are cheering for the Fengjun, for many years, the hall of China has been bullied to the extreme, any country can trample China's dignity under its feet, the cruel reality makes these enthusiastic young people unacceptable, they are not willing to let their country sink like this, but they do not see any hope.

The news of the Feng army's recovery of the Middle East Road came out, like a dawn, which immediately attracted the attention of countless young people, and then the Feng army and the Russian army had a confrontation, and even a military conflict, and the Feng army took the initiative to block the enemy from the country, so that everyone felt extremely excited.

After Zhang Tinglan's arrangement, Shao Piaoping's article could be sent to Fengtian by telegram as soon as it was written, and then printed into a newspaper overnight, in addition to being distributed in Fengtian, it was also sent to Beijing and Tianjin in large quantities, and the article was written by a famous pen in the newspaper industry, and the things written were earth-shattering events, and for a time Luoyang paper in Beijing and Tianjin and other places was expensive, as long as a newspaper from Fengtian was delivered, it was immediately sold out.

Some major newspapers simply sent special reporters to Fengtian, and after waiting for Shao Piaoping's article, they sent a telegram directly. At this time, the telegraph was not cheap, under normal circumstances, a word would cost a dime and a half, eight or nine words would be an ocean, and it would cost at least a hundred oceans to send a thousand-word article.

Few newspapers can afford it, and some newspapers simply send a summary back, and then have a special staff polish it, but after Lao Zhang learned the news, he simply allocated a special fund. Let these reporters send a good punctuation to Beijing, and some even send it directly to Shanghai, Wuhan and other places.

Around the issue of the Middle East Road, public opinion in China is also rapidly fermenting, and some people have also come forward to accuse the Feng army of provoking the foreign powers. is not self-sufficient, as long as the Tsarist army kills. The Feng army will fall apart. At that time, the entire three eastern provinces will not be guaranteed, and this is completely a child's play with national affairs.

Many literati jumped out and pretended to worry about the country and the people, although they did not know the military comparison between the two sides, nor did they know the strategy and tactics, but it was enough to know that China was far behind the great powers. These people can talk about it without worrying about any problems at all.

It's like betting on a bet, and how many times in the past experience has told them that China is against the great powers. I've never taken advantage of it, and it's the same this time. The only thing that made them unhappy was that Shao Piaoping also wrote the example of Teacher Zhu, which overshadowed their lofty theories, and many young people were doubting their words, would these sanctimonious guys also live by pointing to foreign rice?

Just when the public opinion of the whole country was attracted, Suifenhe finally came with the news that surprised everyone, the Feng army defeated the Russian army, killed more than 4,000 enemies, captured more than 5,000 people, and won the preliminary victory of the self-defense counterattack!

A thunderstorm sounded, and all the people were stunned, and those guys who predicted that the Feng army would be defeated lost their voices in an instant, their faces were red, and some of them simply shut up, as if they hadn't said anything, as long as this time passed, they could still jump out and point out the country.

Of course, there are some people who refuse to admit their mistakes, and continue to assert that a victory may not be a victory, as long as Tsarist Russia concentrates elite troops, the little liliang of the Feng army is still not enough, and the three eastern provinces can be flattened by one walk, and now that they are defeated, just cede a little benefit, and wait until the Russian army kills, I am afraid that the three eastern provinces will not be guaranteed.

More and more students have turned their noses up at this kind of noise, and if they really want to do good for the country, they rush to the front line, throw their heads and spill their blood, die on the battlefield, and bark like crows in their backs, which is of no use at all except to break the morale of the army.

Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, the discourse power in Chinese society has been monopolized by a small number of literati, and this time the battle of the Middle East Road has shaken their authority for the first time.

Those young students were no longer fooled by them, and many simply packed their bags and went directly to the three eastern provinces, wanting to join the army. In addition to the enthusiastic youth, chambers of commerce in various places have also made a statement, donating money to Fengjun, and also sending people to the three eastern provinces to have a look.

The merchants were eager for order, and now that the Feng army could defeat the great powers, their rule would be safe, and if it was appropriate, they would be ready to do business in the three eastern provinces.

In short, the land of China was shocked by this news, more and more people with various purposes, north to the three eastern provinces, gradually formed a trend, more and more aspiring young people flocked to the three eastern provinces, among these young people, many of them have good talents, in the future they have become the main development of all walks of life.

In any case, for the first time, the Liliang of the Feng Army was deeply remembered by the Chinese people, and some people began to have a longing for the Feng Army, hoping that such a strong army could protect their safety.

However, compared to the enthusiasm of the people, the officials of the entire Beiyang have no voice at all, and they are completely noncommittal about the actions of the Feng army, how to deal with Sino-Russian relations and end this conflict, they can't come up with a charter, in short, Beiyang is learning from the ostrich and burying his head, as if there is no such thing as the Middle East Road.

In fact, there is a reason for pretending to be so confused, the chaos on the Middle East Road is really beyond the control of the Beiyang government, and Duan Qirui has no idea what action Russia will take. However, Britain and Japan and other countries are ready to make a move, their attitudes are different, the international community is in chaos, and the domestic people's mood is boiling again.

If you support the Feng army, you may offend the great powers, and Beiyang will not dare to conflict with Russia, and if you don't support the Feng army, the emotions of the people will drown them, so Lao Duan will pretend that he doesn't know anything, so as to leave a way out for himself.

Zhang Tinglan has no time to deal with the chaos in the country, his main task now is to take advantage of the emptiness of the Russian Far East as soon as possible, and grab good things in a big way, after Konstantin's troops are eliminated, the strength of Russia in the Far East will be less than 20,000, it seems that there are a lot of people, but there are too many places that need to be defended.

The entire eastern section of the Trans-Siberian Railway had to be taken care of, especially in places such as Boli and Vladivostok, where not a single force could be mobilized. Another unit, the Free Army of the Far East, also became active, and after the defeat, the Russian population became increasingly dissatisfied with the government.

Ivanov took the opportunity to promote his ideas and continue to expand his influence, and Zhang Tinglan also increased his investment in him, and half of the captured guns were sent to Ivanov, so that he could expand his armament.

The Russians were worried about internal and external troubles, and there was a huge gap, Zhang Tinglan had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and immediately decided to attack Shuangchengzi and seize the vital machine repair factory. Young Marshal Zhang Xueliang was also eager to try it for a long time, and he took the initiative to ask for an order and asked for this task.

A thousand elite Liliang were dispatched from the Feng army as the main force of the raid. This operation is actually the first time that the Feng army has gone abroad to fight, and there are many things that need to be carefully planned, otherwise a little accident will bring heavy losses to the Feng army.

"Han Qing, this time I have contacted a lot of bureaucrats in the Russian Far East, they will provide intelligence help, and they will also assist us appropriately, you must pay attention to dealing with them well."

"It would be great to have Neiying's help, after all, it is difficult for a strong dragon to suppress the head snake, and without the help of Russia's Shili, it is not so easy to succeed." Zhang Xueliang said: "Humble words, since you have this kind of relationship, why don't you use it earlier, we won't work so hard with the Russian army, let these Russian officials do something, everything will be easy to do." ”

"If we don't win against the Russians, will they be willing to help us?" Zhang Tinglan asked rhetorically, and Zhang Xueliang immediately understood the key to the matter.

In the past, although Zhang Tinglan had a smuggling intelligence network, these people would not easily betray the country, and they were not optimistic about the Feng army, so they were even more unwilling to take advantage of the Feng army, and this truth was the same in later generations, it was difficult for backward countries to buy officials from advanced countries, on the contrary, those powerful countries had a bunch of political puppets of small countries in their hands.

Now the Feng army easily defeated the Russian army and showed great strength, in the game field in the Far East, the Feng army finally has its own position, and at the same time some Russian officials are finally willing to have good relations with this dock, after all, Russia is still in chaos, and everyone needs to find a way out.

With these internal help, Zhang Xueliang's actions were much easier, they crossed the national border and quickly attacked Shuangchengzi, the frightened Konstantin fled in a hurry and ran directly to Vladivostok, Zhang Xueliang temporarily occupied Shuangchengzi without a single shot.

"The commander-in-chief has a request, we can't occupy Shuangchengzi for a long time, so we must empty the city as soon as possible, Wu Kaijie, you immediately take the manpower to control all financial institutions such as banks, and get all the cash deposits. Zhang Tingshu took his men and horses to take over the ordnance repair factory and removed all the machines that could be used in it. Zhang Henian is in charge of the direction of the railway station, gathering all the locomotive cars that can be used, and we need to use the railway to transport materials! ”

After Zhang Xueliang assigned the task, everyone went to get busy, he personally rushed to the machine repair factory with a part of the people, and went straight to the rail processing workshop, which is the main goal of Fengjun, with this thing, it can process the railway, and the problem of Fengjun's self-built railway zuihou has also been solved, when he saw the machine and the mountain of rails, Zhang Xueliang couldn't help but shout excitedly: It's done!
