Chapter Ninety-Eight: There Is Beijing
The recent situation in Shanghai is really complicated, the foreigners want to kill Wu Zhaolin, and Mr. Sun has made it very clear to Chen Qimei that the foreigners must not be allowed to land in Shanghai to launch an attack on Wu Zhaolin, absolutely not.
Other countries are easy to say, Sa Daoyi is unwilling to force Mr. Sun to Yuan Shikai's way, so now the attitude of foreigners towards the southern government is quite gentle, Chen Qimei said no to Hamilton, Hamilton really did not go ashore except for diplomatic negotiations.
The most important thing is the Japanese. The revolutionaries and the Japanese were too close in the past, so the Japanese side also knew them very well, and they were capable of doing things that other countries could not do. All the news obtained from Chen Qimei can confirm that Kimura, the head of the Japanese Black Dragon Society in Shanghai, seems to have something to do against him.
Chen Ye knew that the Japanese wanted to get rid of themselves, and then let Huang Jinrong or Shen Xingshan come to power. Chen Qimei really felt some emotion in his heart, he and Kimura were still best friends a month ago, and they were very supportive of their revolutionary cause in Kimura in Japan, and the Black Dragon Society also attached great importance to Chen Qimei, a hooligan in Shanghai.
The world is changing so fast. Now Kimura actually sees himself as an obstacle! Chen Qimei knows what kind of means the Japanese Black Dragon will use to those who stand in their way. But he is not afraid at all, no matter how powerful you are Kimura, this is Shanghai, the Black Dragon will be arrogant, and this is the Green Gang. If he is played by Kimura in this place, Chen Qimei's rivers and lakes in the past few decades will really be considered a fool.
If it were someone else, Chen Qimei would have done it a long time ago. It's just that to Kimura, to the Japanese, he really doesn't want to do things so desperately all at once. At the same time, he also believed that the Japanese were just trying to get themselves to support the landing of the coalition forces, and the two sides did not seem to have reached the point of life and death.
When Jiang Zhiqing asked him if he wanted to take any measures, Chen Qimei hesitated, and finally gave up: "You make an appointment with Kimura for me, and say that I will invite him to dinner tonight." There are some things we have to talk about, I have been friends with Kimura for 20 years. There is still something to talk about. ”
Jiang Zhiqing nodded: "Yes, I will arrange it." ”
The car stopped in front of the Shanghai Municipal Government, and Chen Qimei suddenly stopped before opening the car door: "As for Shen Xingshan, when Mucun says it, I have to give him a little power!" Zhiqing, you go to the dock now, Du Yuesheng has a batch of goods to be sent out today, you keep an eye on it, this goods can't have an accident in Shanghai. ”
Chen Ye knew what Du Yuesheng was going to transport, and being a hooligan was like that. Although Yang Dagui had a conflict with him when he was in Beijing, and later sponsored Wu Zhaolin, if he couldn't let go of this matter, he went to Yang Dagui to fight, and he could do things with knives in the back, but he couldn't do it now. Anyway, Chen Ye is also the leader of Shanghai, and he can't break the rules of the rivers and lakes.
Jiang Zhiqing hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Master Chen, I'll go now." ”
Chen Qimei watched Jiang Zhiqing leave here, then turned around and walked towards the gate of the Shanghai Municipal Hall, just as his footsteps had just stepped up the steps. Suddenly, he felt that there were two people standing in front of him, and when he looked up, he was a little surprised: "Kimura-kun? ”
Kimura, dressed in a suit of Japanese samurai clothes, smiled at Chen Qimei on the steps: "Mayor Chen, I've been waiting for you for a long time. I'm bringing a friend today that you also know. ”
Chen Qimei had already seen the man in military uniform standing beside Kimura, and his heart chuckled, out of the instinct of decades of rivers and lakes. There was a natural smile on his face: "Of course I know, Hong Biaotong, we used to deal with each other a lot." ”
Hung Ke smirked. Chong Chen Qimei hugged his fist, which was regarded as a greeting. Kimura said beside him: "Mayor Chen, what I told you, now that General Hong has helped, I think you should have no reason to refuse, right?" ”
When she saw Hong Ke, Chen Qimei knew that Wu Zhaolin might not be able to hold on, what the foreigners needed to land now was an excuse, and Hong Ke could easily create a reason for the foreigners. Chen Qimei didn't say anything more: "Let's go in and talk." ”
30 March 1907.
After Yang Dagui annihilated the Japanese Eighth Division, he put on a posture of fighting Seoul and marched 360 kilometers in five days, which made it impossible for the Japanese to organize an effective defense in Seoul, although Kazuo Jiudao mobilized nearly 100,000 troops, but these 100,000 people were basically temporarily recruited from Korea, and some did not even touch their guns, just like those Chinese who joined the Beiyang Army in Beijing.
But the Chinese know that they are defending the capital and are willing to fight to the death, are the North Koreans willing to defend their capital now? As the Volunteers drew closer and closer, the resistance against the Japanese army in Korea burned like wildfire.
Counting on Kazuo Jiudao is simply unable to stop Yang from fighting ghosts, which has almost been recognized by military experts from all over the world. There is also a view that these people are the same, that is, as the Volunteers advance deeper to North Korea, the less hope that Yang Dagui will be alive.
After all, this is not Liaodong, this is the territory of the Japanese army. Behind the volunteers was the hundreds of thousands of troops of Dashanyan, and when they received Yang Xiaolin yesterday that they were only 100 kilometers away from Seoul, Western military experts unanimously came to a conclusion that Yang was done fighting ghosts and that he could not go back. He may have made the Japanese pay a heavy price in Korea, but the Volunteers were also destined to end up in this place.
In today's newspaper, the famous French general Xia Fei expressed his views on this war, General Xia Fei's entire editorial is full of praise for the volunteers and Yang Xiaolin, Xia Fei called Yang Xiaolin is also completely different from the previous Western titles, he did not say that it was a beast, nor did he say that Yang fought ghosts, but said very formally: "Commander Yang in Northeast China in this battle command art is worth learning, although now in my opinion he has no hope, but I believe, No general in the world is in a bad situation like Commander Yang, and it is impossible to do better than him in such a situation. ”
Commander Yang is not very well-informed now, he didn't see the newspaper in the morning until the evening, and General Xia Fei's praise really made him feel fluttering, this is a recognized famous general in the First World War!
A short piece of news Commander Yang watched it three times, and the smile on his face was like a flower, and his mouth couldn't close: "Mark, have you seen it?" Xia Fei didn't call me a beast this time, what is this? This is the respect that foreigners have for me! It was Lao Tzu who shot and shot. ”
Mark reporter was also quite surprised that Xia Fei could give Yang Xiaolin such a high evaluation: "Commander. Chinese soldiers who can be praised by foreign generals, you are the first for more than 100 years. Can you tell us what you're thinking right now? ”
Yang Xiaolin smiled, and then put down the newspaper, looking a little reluctant: "Thoughts? I'm thinking now, General Xia Fei thinks so highly of me Yang, if the performance ends like this, I really can't stand him, so I have to make the play more exciting! ”
Mark quickly wrote down Yang Xiaolin's words in his notebook, and then said: "I am also very confident in your command of the battle, and I believe that you will be able to get rid of the pursuit of the Japanese." Can you tell me about it, when you get rid of the Japanese? What's next? ”
Yang Xiaolin looked at him, with a smile in his eyes: "Mark, ask directly, I don't like to go around in circles." ”
Mark smiled and shrugged his shoulders: "I'm afraid you won't answer." Okay, let me ask more directly, you said a few days ago that you were willing to support Yuan Shikai as the president, is this true? Did you do it willingly or did you have other plans? ”
This is what Mark is most concerned about, and Yang Xiaolin really hesitated. Say he's willing, don't say Mark will be suspicious. Even he himself has to ask, is he really willing?
After thinking for a while, he stood up: "Mark, I don't know if I'm willing, I really don't know." But what I know for sure is that we will win this battle. The Volunteers and the Beiyang Army can't fight again! Our affairs in China can no longer be resolved by war, absolutely not! You just asked me what I would do after I got rid of the pursuit of the Japanese, and I could give you an answer, and I would immediately attack the Russians who were attacking Shanhaiguan from the rear. ”
As soon as these words came out, Mark was very surprised: "Commander Yang." I am reluctant to say anything about your command, but I really think that it is more beneficial for you that your troops should be rested right away. ”
Yang Xiaolin did not explain. In fact, launching an attack from the rear of the Russians was just a plan, and if Duan Qirui could hold on, he would be allowed to do so. If the Shanhaiguan defense line is lost, Yang Xiaolin even plans to directly take his troops to Beijing to fight with Yuan Shikai.
He knew it was dangerous for him to do so, and he knew that it might be more advantageous for the Volunteers to rest for two or three months now. But he really couldn't watch the Russians fight Yuan Shikai himself, and he was still hiding in Changbai Mountain.
This is not because Yuan Shikai is his nominal father-in-law, but because the place that Yuan Shikai is defending now is called Beijing, and any city in China can be abandoned because of strategic needs, but not there, there is Beijing!
Cai Yi's footsteps walked into Commander Yang's cave, and there was a happy look on his face: "Commander, the radio station has been contacted." ”
Yang Xiaolin's expression suddenly became excited: "How is the situation at home?" ”
Cai Ye nodded: "Very good!" Due to our military containment and the declaration of war by the Beiyang Army, the losses in the base areas were much smaller than we estimated. Deputy Commander Zhang has returned to Liaoping, and he has brought more than 7,000 troops, including our scattered brothers, as well as some Beiyang Army soldiers who were scattered in Jinzhou. The training of the 11th Division was also carried out all the time, and the Independent Division had almost no losses in Liaoping. Liu Xianhe's troops also went back, and we now have 35,000 soldiers in Liaoping! ”
Yang Xiaolin smiled: "Very good!" Songpo, you send a telegram to Zhang Zuolin, saying that if the conditions allow, let him send troops to harass the rear of the Japanese army, and pull back a Japanese army, and we can all be more relaxed here. By the way, also harass the rear of the Russians. ”
Cai Ye said: "Deputy Commander Zhang has already done this. Tang Yulin's independent division had already advanced to attack Fengcheng, and it was believed that the Japanese would not fail to react. On the Russians' side, we really can't do much now, only a part of the soldiers from the 11th Division were selected, plus some soldiers who were originally Beiyang Army also formed a regiment, and they might only be able to harass it. ”
Yang Xiaolin nodded: "It's enough to harass you." Akberlil! Duan Qirui is not his opponent, when Lao Tzu gets rid of the Japanese, I will personally clean him up! By the way, who is leading the troops? ”
Cai Yi looked at Commander Yang and whispered, "Two poles." (To be continued......)
