Bai Sheng led the Eastern Front Army, and after the Battle of Tianjin, he then led the main force into the northeast. When Bai Sheng left the pass, Nie Fengwu, the deputy commander, led two armies to occupy Shengjing. About 30,000 troops of the Eight Banners defending Shengjing surrendered, and then Nie Fengwu waved his army south, occupied the Liaodong Peninsula non-stop, and deployed troops on the banks of the Yalu River. Subsequently, Nie Fengwu left one division on the Liaodong Peninsula and Shengjing, and two divisions on the Chinese side of the Yalu River to monitor the Korean Peninsula.

After that, Nie Fengwu personally led an army to divide into three routes, all the way along the coastline to the north, the target is Vladivostok and the important places along the eastern coast of the Far East, and the Zuihou target is the temple street at the mouth of Heilongjiang. The Middle Road advanced north along the Ussuri River, aiming at the northern Xinjiang town of Boli, where the three rivers meet, and renamed it Khabarovsk after the Russians stole it. The other captured Jilin, and then advanced north along the Songhua River, aiming at the Heihe River. After Bai Sheng led the main force into the pass, Nie Fengwu was still on the way to the march.

Immediately after Bai Sheng entered the pass, he ordered the 19th Army to advance to Qiqihar and Manchuria, and stop military operations after capturing Manchuria. Then he ordered the 20th Army to advance towards Mohe and take control of the Green Ridge. When Bai Sheng arrived in Shengjing, he set up his headquarters in Shengjing. Due to the large number of immigrants from the Qing court in recent years, Liaoning's population has increased dramatically. Most of the immigrants came from the Shandong Peninsula, and about 1 million people arrived in the northeast by sea in a few years, and most of them stayed on the Liaodong Peninsula except for a small number of people who migrated north.

Due to the increase in population, Shengjing became prosperous. At present, Shengjing has become the largest cargo distribution center in Northeast China, and a fixed trade route has been formed from Shengjing to the north through Jilin, Ningguta, Jiamusi and Heihe. And this ancient trade route has been revitalized. Because the Americans opened the Anshan Iron and Steel Plant, the Fushun Coal Mine, and built the railway from Anshan, Fushun, Shengjing to Lushun during the war. Therefore, the economy of the entire Liaodong Peninsula has shown a blowout development trend under its pull. Even in times of war, economic development was not affected.

Although the Americans destroyed factories and coal mines when they retreated, they did not blow them up. Probably the Americans are still thinking about coming back one day, because the Northeast is a treasure of feng shui, and the Americans are really nostalgic. In recent years, the Americans have made a bet and invested millions of dollars in the Northeast, but in the blink of an eye, they have all become someone else's pocket. The United States is a nation of immigrants. In any case, all initiatives must ensure the greatest benefit.

The war cost the Americans dearly. It feels like the huge investment has been wasted, so the Americans are not going to rest on their laurels. Thomas and Jefferson, the third presidents of the United States, made impassioned speeches to regain what the United States had lost. Therefore, the United States has revised the foreign-related bill from the beginning. and unanimously passed in both houses of the House of Representatives. That is, to continue to follow the British Empire and resolutely defeat the demon of the East. The United States will decide to increase its war appropriations, expand its armed forces, send troops, and participate in the war in an all-round way.

The great powers have been stepping up preparations since the beginning, and Chinese mainland has also been singing all the way, temporarily stopping the artillery fire for days. The great powers dropped hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war in Chinese mainland, but they were indifferent and did not send any envoys to ask for negotiations with the Guangzhou military government on the prisoner of war issue. Obviously, the great powers, led by the British Empire. It is to carry the war to the end. The great powers may not have imagined that the Chinese nation has risen up in the flames of war and has begun to look up to this shijie.

Less than a month after Bai Sheng entered Shengjing, he received news from Nie Fengwu that his troops had successfully occupied Vladivostok, and the Russian Pacific Fleet in Vladivostok fled, and the Russian troops stationed in it did not resist at all and surrendered. Good news came one after another, and the headquarters ordered him to go to the capital to participate in the founding ceremony. After Bai Sheng received the order from the headquarters and settled down, he boarded the train to Lushun Military Port in Shengjing. He was to take a warship in Lushun, cross the Bohai Sea and then go ashore in Tianjin, and go directly to the capital by land.

The train was running through the fields, and the crops along the way were basically harvested, and many buds, sorghum, and millet were piled up in the fields to dry. "Looks like the harvest in the Northeast is good!" Bai Sheng muttered to himself. The guard who followed said, "Yes! The land of the Northeast is black and oily, and it is simply a treasure land. Such a land can be sown with seeds and food grows. If my father saw such a land, he would be overjoyed. "You're from Jiangxi!" "Yes, Commander! Our family has a lot of land and little land, and we can't make ends meet for a year. It's a shame that there is uncultivated land everywhere. ”

Bai Sheng said with a smile: "You can write a letter to your family and come here to reclaim the land, and the government will definitely resettle on a large scale." "Commander, it's true," "Of course it's true, the government will help the new immigrants in the future, write to your family." When the guard heard this, his eyebrows fluttered with joy, and he hurriedly found a pen to write a letter. Today's soldiers have been in the military for two years, and they can basically write simple letters home, and the popularization of culture in the army has formed a scale. Deng Zixuan's advocacy of building a literate army has already achieved initial results.

Bai Sheng looked at the back of the guards leaving, and also shared a bit of happiness. The guards recounted the affairs at home, which aroused Bai Sheng's concern. He took out a photo of Biying and a pair of children from his arms, looking full of love. The turquoise face is like a peach blossom, and a pair of eyes are full of affection. The 8-year-old son and 6-year-old daughter laughed innocently. The only thing missing from the photo is the head of the family. He secretly thought in his heart that he must take a few more family photos when he went to the capital to make up for this regret.

Bai Sheng was intoxicated when the train suddenly slowed down, and a market town appeared in front of him. One of the guards came in and said, "Commander, the front is Jinzhou Station, and the train will be filled with coal and water, and it will stop for about an hour." The train slowly entered the station and stopped, and Bai Sheng looked through the window and saw that there were many vendors selling fruits and food on the platform. Many tourists took the lead in looking for food stalls to occupy space. Bai Sheng stretched his waist and felt a little hungry.

One of the guards had already gotten out of the car and grabbed a table at a chaos stall, and Bai Sheng and several guards began to eat and drink. Bai Sheng was wearing a general's uniform, and the guards around him were all fierce and mighty. Naturally, it attracted the attention of the people around them, and many tourists exchanged their heads and looked at them from time to time. This kung fu came in the opposite direction of a train, slowly entering the station very steadily, and also down a large number of passengers. Many of the tourists who came down were ragged and dusty, and they must have been from Kanto.

Bai Sheng put down the dishes and chopsticks after eating. A woman in her forties and two sturdy young men came to the side of the chaos stall, they took out a bowl and asked for chaos soup that didn't cost anything, and then squatted down next to them to eat the dry food they had brought with them. Bai Sheng looked sad. asked the stall owner to come up with three bowls of chaos, and then instructed the guards to summon Niang San to come over. When the lady heard that the military master had given them three bowls of chaos, the woman stood up and brushed her hair and walked over, looking excited and about to express her gratitude. The four eyes were suddenly stunned. "It's sister-in-law!" "You're Brother Katsuko!"

Bai Sheng said in ecstasy: "Sister-in-law, you are still alive!" "Brother Katsuko, you are alive too!" The woman threw herself into Bai Sheng's arms excitedly and began to cry sadly. Bai Sheng's eyes were moist. I don't know what to say. After a long time, the woman stopped sobbing, Bai Sheng took out a handkerchief and handed it over and asked, "Sister-in-law." I thought you were long gone, but I heard that the Huai army would not let go of any of them. The woman said quietly, "Brother, after your brother died, I took the child incognito and hid in Tibet to escape. Katsuko Brothers. I didn't want to keep you alive either. Father-in-law, mother-in-law, and your brother should be blind if they know anything underground."

The woman burst into tears again. Bai Sheng comforted a few words, and then briefly recounted his experience and asked, "Sister-in-law, you Weishenme appear here?" The woman knew that Brother Katsuko was now a general, and said with a smile between her eyebrows: "This is no longer the case." The Manchu Qing Dynasty fell, and we don't have to be incognito. The original home is gone, and I heard that Kanto is better, so I took your two sons to Kanto. Speaking of her son, the woman seemed to remember something to greet her.

"Big bear, two bears. Come here. "Two great lads came over with some Burmese guys. The woman continued: "This is your own uncle, quickly kneel down and meet your uncle." The big bear and the two bears hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed. Bai Sheng sighed and said, "If the eldest brother knows that his son is safe, he will grow up here. I don't know how happy I am. Bai Sheng never dreamed that he could meet his loved ones here, it was a surprise, and the meeting of relatives was so short. The train whistle sounded, and Bai Sheng said: "Sister-in-law, I'll go to the capital for a meeting, and you can go to Shengjing and live in my official residence." You are my only relative, and we will live together from now on. ”

Then Bai Sheng ordered the guards to take out 50 quick silver dollars and handed them to them, and said, "Sister-in-law, you can buy some clothes and wait for me to come back from Beijing." I brought my wife and children with me. "What eyes are in the sky!" The woman wept with joy again. "Sister-in-law, not the right eye of the sky, is a great figure in China, he is a contemporary hero. It was he who led us to overthrow the Qing court and conquer the world. From now on, you should raise your eyebrows, the good days are still to come. ”

Bai Sheng successfully arrived at the Port of Arthur. On the basis of the Beiyang Naval Division, the North Sea Fleet was formed. The North Sea Fleet is all old-fashioned warships, mainly responsible for the defense of the Bohai Sea. The commander of the North Sea Fleet was also a cadet of the first phase of the military academy who went to the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Academy with Fan Tao that year. This person's name is Zhong Lihan, and he is in his thirties. He received an order to escort Commander Bai to Tianjin. At this time, Zhong Lihan personally greeted Bai Sheng at the dock of the military port. As soon as they met, Zhong Lihan raised his hand and saluted: "Commander Bai, you have worked hard all the way. I was ordered to escort you to Tianjin. ”

Bai Sheng smiled: "It's been more than ten years, you kid is out of luck, I remember that you are from Changsha!" "Yes, I was recruited by you, Commander Leng, and General Zhang in Changsha back then, and I always keep my humble position in mind." "It's unimaginable that your kid is also the commander of the fleet now." This is all the cultivation of Commander-in-Chief Deng and Commander Bai, how dare the last general forget. Commander White, please! Under the guidance of Zhong Lihan, Bai Sheng boarded the Dingyuan, the flagship of the North Sea Fleet. The Dingyuan is an old-fashioned sail-powered hybrid warship with a displacement of about 1,500 tons.

The Dingyuan battleship is the first batch of warships produced by the Mawei Shipyard in Fuzhou, which is completely in accordance with the design concept of the foreigners, and the bow is very sharp, which is used to hit the opponent in hand-to-hand combat at sea. The sailors lined up on the deck to be inspected by Bai Sheng. After inspecting the sailors, the ship's propellers began to spin with the roar of the steam engine. The sea was spraying, and the battleship slowly sailed away from the dock.

The battleship crossed the Bohai Sea and headed straight for the port of Tianjin, where Chief of Staff Wang Jie greeted him at the pier. At present, Chief of Staff Wang Jie is sitting in Tianjin to expand the army and prepare for next year's big war. Bai Sheng stayed in Tianjin for a day and learned in detail about the expansion of the army and training. Bai Sheng and the chief of staff discussed, and then Bai Sheng said goodbye to the chief of staff and went straight to the capital. (To be continued......)

PS: On the way to the capital, the commander of the Eastern Front encountered relatives who thought he was not alive, which was full of emotion.
