PS: Book lovers who like the Republic of China should know that the book of the hippopotamus is finished. In fact, Lao Hei's book is the same, as early as Monday I received a kind reminder from the editor that it is best to end it immediately, because it is very dangerous. Lao Hei also struggled for several days, but finally decided to stick to writing. I know that there is danger ahead, and I know that I am in the midst of a harmonious storm that could be drowned at any moment. But I think if there is really a person like Mr. Yang, he will definitely continue to rush!

That's why I insist, I don't want Commander Yang to stop in my hands, even if the future is in danger. If we are lucky enough to rush to victory, we will meet at the end and raise a glass to celebrate. If you are really overwhelmed by that storm, please believe me, no matter what means, I will give you an explanation! Please add me penguin four-four-one-seven-three-two-seven-zero-three. Or the sentence I said when I wrote my first book "Fried Three Kingdoms with Black Peppers", if I am buried, I will also set up a tombstone for this book, so that everyone who passes by here in the future will know that once, there was such a book, and it died like this

I hope the brothers can continue to subscribe, continue to count votes, give me some motivation, and let me rush down.

He knew it would be difficult to convince the British Parliament directly, especially now at a sensitive time when the prime minister is changing. So he took a roundabout route, asking Japan to establish diplomatic relations with the southern government first, recognizing it as the only legitimate Chinese regime, and then asking the Russians to do the same.

Both countries are now allies of Britain in Asia, and when they chose Sun, it was only natural for the British government to recognize the Southern regime. This should not be difficult, because the southern government has been seeking cooperation with the West, and Sa Daoyi is confident that they will catch it quickly when he throws an olive branch.

In that case, at least nominally, he would not be fighting with the Chinese government, which would not help the war, but it would help him get out of the political difficulties he faced at home and abroad, and the problems that Yuan Shikai gave him were also political.

Shoutaro Abe nodded and said, "Mr. Sado don't worry. We have always had close ties with the revolutionaries in the south and we know very well who can cooperate with us and who will hinder us. This time I will go to Nanjing to do things very smoothly, give them sweetness, and then scare and scare them, it should be enough. If necessary, I would like to ask Major General Hamilton to give me a little support. ”

Sa Daoyi has already told Hamilton that the Japanese side really can't send decent troops now, and all their forces are put into the battle against Yang Xiaolin, if they need to show their muscles on Sun Wen's side. Only the combined fleet can be put out of the way.

Sa Daoyi looked at Abe and was quite worried: "Abe-kun, what I want to remind you is not to do things like Beijing!" I can't guarantee that the British government will continue to support the war. ”

Shoutaro Abe didn't take this to heart at all! Japan is confident in convincing the southern government, because the ties between them have never been severed. Two months earlier, the Southern Government had asked the Japanese for some assistance in fending off the aggressive attacks of the Beiyang Army.

Many of the members of the League are pro-Japanese, and there are even members of the League who are of Japanese origin, and they have not gone yet, but they have just released a message that there are already people in the south who are active for themselves.

Those who act for the Japanese are not necessarily traitors, and those who oppose contact with foreigners are not necessarily hot-blooded people. Just like in the Beiyang Army now, before the war started, Cao Kun strongly advocated a peaceful settlement, while Lu Jianzhang's attitude was quite tough. Echoed Feng Guozhang and others to fight to the death with the Russian army.

But when the Russian army really came, Cao Kun, who died in battle, surrendered to Lu Jianzhang! There is no such thing as a faction, Qi Kunyuan and Cao Kun are both factional. Otherwise, Cao Kun would not trust him so much. And Lu Jianzhang is Feng Yuxiang's old boss, and he brought a message to Feng Yuxiang to ask him to surrender and Feng Yuxiang will not do anything.

I can't say for sure, it mainly depends on the backbone. And whether there is confidence in the war.

There are also those in the Northeast who have surrendered so far, but the high-level really has not appeared, and the main reason is because those people have special confidence in Yang Xiaolin and the volunteers! As long as Yang Dagui was alive, they believed that the Volunteers would be able to drive out the Japanese and Russians. This is a kind of blind trust, which has been bought by the volunteers with the blood of countless brothers in the Northeast in recent years.

It is precisely because of this trust that the Volunteers can maintain their desire to fight despite extremely difficult circumstances.

Abe Shoutaro also knew that the Japanese had tried their best in this war, but the consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops was really amazing, and without the support of the British, they might not be able to hold it before the volunteers!

So even if he didn't take Mr. Sadaoyi's warning to heart, he was still polite: "Please rest assured, I will definitely grasp a suitable measure." ”

Sa Daoyi didn't say anything more, the other party is also a qualified diplomat, and he doesn't need to teach him to do things by himself, so he has a bit of contempt to say more: "Well, we just need to establish diplomacy, as for letting Sun Wen send troops, we can not mention it for the time being, and it will be best if he is willing in the future, if he is unwilling, he can't let him be the second Yuan Shikai." ”

At this point, he did not continue the topic, but instead discussed the progress of the battle: "Abe-kun, the Russians are ready to launch an attack on the defense line of the Beiyang Army, and Akberil has completed the offensive deployment against Duan Qirui, and according to the information reported by the Russians and us, they will defeat the 100,000 Beiyang army now led by Duan Qirui within a week. These troops are Yuan Shikai's last reliance, and I believe that Yuan Shikai's confidence should be gone after defeating them. Have you done a good job of deploying the Japanese side to attack the Volunteers? ”

Abe Shoutaro's face was embarrassed for a while, the attack deployment had been prepared a long time ago, and one after another. But Yang Beat the Ghost guy is really difficult, he is not like Yuan Shikai to set up a position to fight, every time he has fled before the Japanese attack, so that Dashan Yan has to be rearranged.

The Japanese military department has urged Dashan Yan many times, not to mention exterminating Yang and fighting ghosts, you should at least take some results and let the imperial army give an explanation to the emperor and the Japanese people! But except for Yang Dagui's glorious victory in Dandong when he crossed the Yalu River in Japan, there is really no record that can be taken so far.

The Japanese military department has begun to question whether His Excellency Oyama Iwa is really old, and whether it would be a mistake to let him command the army? That is, because the prestige of Dashanyan is very high, no one dares to say this directly.

Judging from Abe Shoutaro's face, Sa Daoyi already knew the answer. He only showed a little unhappiness, and then raised his glass: "I hope you can negotiate with the Japanese military, every victory at this time can crush the confidence of the Chinese!" Especially with regard to Yang fighting ghosts, as long as they lose confidence in the war, our victory will be within reach. ”

Abe bowed: "Hayi! I understand Mr. Sadaoyi. ”

Sa Daoyi smiled slightly: "Don't say anything, this glass of wine will see you off." ”

In Liaoxi, General Dashanyan really felt that he was old, and he didn't sleep for two days in a row, so his body could barely support it! Every time he looked up and down, he could feel a wave of dizziness.

But you really can't let him go to sleep, he can't sleep! Yang Da Ghost is actually gone again!

A few days ago. The Japanese Reserve 1st Division was also attacked by the Volunteers, and Dashanyan thought that Yang Xiaolin was going to continue to break through to the west, after all, this road was the most suitable for the current Volunteers. He hurriedly transferred three divisions to follow him to pursue him, but in the end he found that it was only one division of the Fifth Division of the Volunteer Army that attacked the first reserve division!

When the Japanese army was surrounded, the Fifth Division actually scattered the whole army at once, although the Japanese army achieved quite good results, and only more than 4,000 people of the Fifth Division fled into the area of Yingkou Jinxi, but no one could answer the most critical question of where Yang Dagui went!

His eyes had been looking on the map, but he couldn't find any suitable place for Yang Xiaolin to hide 20,000 soldiers and horses! Japanese troops conducted a large-scale search in the area. But Yang Beat the Ghost really seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

In his sixties, he really felt that his body was a little unbearable.

General Nogi Noshinori stood respectfully beside Oyama Rock, who had been lying on the map for a full hour, until he felt as if his waist was about to break, and then slowly put down the magnifying glass in his hand: "Admiral Nogi." Haven't the troops found that guy's footprints yet? ”

Nogi Noshinori really felt his incompetence at this time, if he could kill Yang Xiaolin, why would he let the commander suffer such torture? Looking at Oyama Yan's blood-red eyes and drooping eye bags, Nogi Noshinori did not answer this question: "Commander-in-chief! I beg you to go and rest! ”

Dashan Yan looked at him. A wry smile at the corner of his mouth. He also wants to sleep, and he also knows how important sleep is to him. But I really can't sleep!

As soon as he lay on the bed, the map in front of him unconsciously appeared in his head, as well as the appearance of Yang beating ghosts. He woke up at the thought of that guy. The old man can't sleep when he wakes up!

"Nogi, there's only one way to let me rest, and that's to find that guy quickly! Although the telegram sent to me today by the military headquarters is polite, I know that they are very dissatisfied with me. ”

Nogi Noshinori's face was filled with anger: "Your Excellency! They have no idea what we are facing! They always think that the battle should end as soon as our huge army arrives, but they don't understand that the opponent we are facing is a very cunning fox! I'm sure whoever the military department sends here won't be able to do better than you! ”

Da Shanyan waved his hand to stop talking: "I've told you many times, don't make excuses for your loss!" As a general of the Great Japanese Empire, you must have the courage to take responsibility! I didn't fight the war, but now we still have the advantage, if I can find that fox, I can tear him apart! ”

Nogi Noshinori was very confident: "We will definitely find him!" Commander, I have a plan, can we take certain military action against the people of nearby China? ”

Dashan Yan shook his head: "It's useless." We have killed a lot of people in Liaoyang, and his method is to kill our people, and he will not come back. ”

The corners of Nogi Noshinori's lips showed a hint of cruelty: "That's because we still killed too little!" If we kill 70,000 people, even if Yang Xiaolin can still calm down, there will be different voices within the volunteers. ”

Oyama Yan hesitated, he really had this idea, but if this was known to the reporters outside, it would damage the image of their Imperial Japanese Army. Moreover, it will also make the Chinese here more determined to follow behind Yang Dagui.

Nogi Noshinori had obviously considered these two questions: "Commander-in-chief, there are not many foreign journalists here, and those people are really supporting Yang to fight ghosts!" ”

Da Shanyan looked at him, pondered for a moment, and was about to agree, but a Japanese staff officer outside pushed open the door suddenly: "Commander-in-chief, we have news of that guy!" ”

Da Shanyan suddenly became extremely excited: "Where is he?" ”

The staff officer hurried up to him, looked at the map on the table, and pointed his hand to the location of the silk island: "Right here, two hours ago, the Chinese army secretly crossed the river from here and returned to Korea. ”

Da Shanyan's whole person was suddenly stunned, and after a while, he suddenly understood something: "Where are the Eighth Division and the Tenth Division now?" ”

The hand of the staff officer moved to Uiju: "Here!" The two divisions pursued the troops of the volunteer army Feng Delin, who had fled in Korea, and surrounded Feng Delin in this place yesterday afternoon. ”

Dashanyan's whole face became extremely ugly, looking at the deployment of other Japanese troops in western Liaoning, the distance between the two closest divisions to Yizhou was also more than 200 kilometers!

"Quick! Send a telegram to them and tell them to withdraw from the battle! Immediately withdraw from the battle and defend on the spot! ”

His whole body was out of control, and his breathing became rapid. Nogi Noshinori said on the side: "Your Excellency, Yang Dagui has just crossed the river, now we can send reinforcements to speed up, we still have time!" Don't be in a hurry......."

Before Nogi Noshinori's words fell, another Japanese staff officer pushed open the door in a panic: "Report to the commander-in-chief, the Eighth Division has sent an urgent telegram, and a large number of volunteers have appeared around them. ”

Dashan Yan snatched the telegram away: "Impossible! Yang Dagui had just crossed the river, he couldn't be so fast! ”

The staff officer explained: "Yes, it is the troops led by Cai Yi, the chief of the general staff of the Chinese army. The Eighth Division has fallen into encirclement, and the division commander Lin Yan Junnan asks for tactical guidance! ”

At this moment, Dashanyan understood that Yang was only participating in the attack! This guy knew that he had set up a guard on the Yalu River, and it was impossible for the action of crossing the river to hide from the eyes of the Japanese, so he asked Cai Ye to surround the Eighth Division first, and when he went, he could directly enter the battle!

It seems that it is too late to send reinforcements again!

Da Shanyan's hands shook sharply, and suddenly it seemed to be very painful, and his hand covered his heart and slowly slipped to the ground! (To be continued......)
