Chapter 535: Border War
"From the moment of migration to the east, tragedy followed, as more and more people froze to death in the Siberian wilderness, leaving piles of corpses in every camp. No one knew if they would be able to stand up tomorrow, everyone could only walk numbly, and more and more people died, at first only the old and weak, and then the able-bodied young people. Even our leader, Kolchak, disappeared, and the Bishop left with his followers, and at that moment it seemed that God had abandoned us, and all of us had no choice but to die, and I would be a stiff corpse.
And at this time, a miracle happened, the Chinese army came to Irkutsk, they brought the most beautiful haode gospel, we could move south to China, get warm shelter, enough food. They gave us delicious food and provided sturdy sleds, they were humble and generous, they were simply messengers of God, and we finally got a chance to live......"
The daughter of the Russian mathematician Grischen wrote this in her diary. Since his father was a high-ranking talent urgently needed by the Feng army, the whole family became the first to leave Russia. The Fengjun provided them with all-round protection, a large number of sleds as a means of transportation, warm clothing, and hot broth for every meal.
The sled team was constantly patrolled by cavalry, and no ill-intentioned Russian bandits or ferocious beasts could harm them. Those who are in poor physical condition and have severe frostbite are cared for by specialized doctors and nurses. For these professionals, the most precious thing is their brain, even if it is due to frostbite and physical disability, Fengjun will not let it go, and they must take care of it carefully and considerately. All of a sudden, these Russians had the feeling that they had fallen into heaven.
Of course, this is only really useful talents, other guys don't have this treatment, they have to walk the road to China by themselves, especially those remaining monks and Jewish bankers, entrepreneurs, all of them are left in Zuihou, these guys are all useless, and may even bring hidden dangers, if it is not for the fear of affecting the emotions of other people, Feng Jun even wants to kill them directly. It also saves a little food.
Don't look at Zhang Tinglan's initial cooperation with the Jew Fred, he found a way to change the fate of Fengjun, but it was just a personal friendship, and Zhang Tinglan would never be mixed with personal feelings in national affairs. A Jewish banker is terrible enough if they were allowed to enter the three eastern provinces. The consequences are unimaginable.
Zhang Tinglan has already given instructions. The professional talents of the Jews were still to be used in the army and were to be treated preferentially, but those who played with capital and engaged in the economy were all classified as dangerous elements, and they would not be directly brought back to the three eastern provinces, but would be set up in a concentration camp in Outer Mongolia. They were temporarily taken into custody, and when the fighting subsided, they were all sent abroad, leaving none behind.
More than 200,000 people moved slowly. The Feng army also did not have such a strong logistics liliang, only those who were truly professional would be taken care of by the most haode and have sufficient food, which was also saved from the military rations of the Feng army, and the soldiers even went hungry.
As for the others, they are just left to fate, just like they migrate, and every day people still die in the camps, and a large number of corpses are discarded on the side of the road. However, not long after they left, they received news that the bishop and his followers, who had left early, had frozen to death on Lake Baikal.
More than 30,000 people have all become elite ice sculptures, which just confirms Wang Tieshan's judgment, the empty and endless lake, at night, after the cold wind blows, there is no cover, and the temperature will even reach minus fifty or sixty degrees, and there is absolutely no problem with freezing to death.
At last, the bishop complied with the Lord's will, and took so many people to heaven to serve as a slave to his master. After receiving the news of the bishop and others' annihilation, these migratory armies all calmed down, at least with the protection of the Feng army, they would not be wiped out, although death was unavoidable, but it was still within an acceptable range, and they became more and more obedient.
The Feng army also had a lot less trouble, and the troops marched south. Sophia suddenly found Wang Tieshan and said to him: "Now that people and gold have fallen into your hands, is my mission over?" ”
Wang Tieshan said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness Princess, if you want, you can continue to act as a princess, and even have the opportunity to become a queen Bixia." ”
Sophia's eyes suddenly flashed with a glimmer of light, although the princess during this time should be trembling, but she has already liked the feeling of being in the limelight, if she can continue to do this dream, she will definitely not be able to ask for it.
"And this time the danger factor will be much smaller, Kolchak is finished, no one knows that you are a fake, if you have the opportunity to establish a state in the Far East, you are a worthy queen."
Wang Tieshan continued: "But now you have another mission, to dilute the problem of gold, and eliminate the excuses for countries to blame the Feng army. ”
Sophia nodded without hesitation when she heard this: "I will behave very haode, don't worry." ”
Originally, there were many theories about the problem of gold, and the great powers also knew that Feng Jun had obtained gold, but there was no real evidence, and it was not clear the specific amount, except for the Japanese, other countries would not go crazy, and if another princess came out to speak, the powers would have no reason to accuse Feng Jun.
Zuihou's troubles left the Japanese, and the rout of the 13th Division fled back to Chita by eating human flesh, reporting the situation of the battle to the Japanese upper echelons.
Most of the division was wiped out, the division commander Nishikawa Torajiro committed suicide by disembowelment, and the military flag given by the emperor was burned, which was an unprecedented shame for the Japanese since the founding of the army. Even in the First Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, the fierce Japanese soldiers did not encounter such a situation.
Don't look at Nishikawa Torajiro is dead, but the entire 13th Division will be completely disgraced, even if it will not cancel the formation, it will be completely thrown into the cold palace and become a third-rate army, never think about turning over. As for the commander of the dispatch army, Motonari Oi, he will certainly not be able to escape the involvement, and it will even set off a round of storms in Japan.
It was precisely because of the enormous influence and the unimaginable consequences that the Japanese had already gone a little crazy, and in the cabinet, Tanaka Yoshiichi tried his best to lead the war, and he even suggested that if necessary, the Far East could be abandoned, and all efforts could be concentrated on dealing with the Feng army, so as to eliminate this great problem first.
Oi Motosei also dispatched troops in the Far East, concentrated his troops to the maximum extent, and planned to launch an attack on the Feng army, and the original Sino-Russian border became a battlefield of tension between China and Japan, and the situation became more and more serious.
In the Baoding Marshal's Mansion, Cao Kun called his henchman Wu Peifu over, scratched his head and said: "Ziyu, Zhang Zhuoyan is really able to toss, how long has it been, and the Japanese have been on the bar again, I can let people probe the tone of Japan, I heard that this time is a little more serious than before, Japan has issued a mobilization order, ready for a full-scale war, where should we go, it's really a big trouble!" ”
Wu Peifu also sighed: "Marshal, the Feng army wiped out the Japanese army that invaded the border, and greatly increased the prestige of the people, no matter what, this is a heroic feat, the people of the whole country applauded in unison, more and more young people are going to the northeast to join the army, we can't go against the people." ”
Cao Kun frowned, just a few days ago, Feng Guozhang died, Cao Kun deservedly became the leader of the direct army, sitting in this position, Cao Kun's ambition also began to swell, he has coveted the most attractive throne.
But at this time, Fengjun and Japan had a big problem, which made him at a loss: "Ziyu, Fengjun dares to fight with the Japanese, we can't just lose our family money, offend the Japanese, and the consequences are unimaginable." ”
"Marshal, what the Feng army dares to do, we may not dare to, and now the Japanese are fighting against Russia, if they start a war with the Feng army again, facing two big countries at the same time, I am afraid that the small island country may not have this strength."
Wu Peifu said: "I think we are quiet on the surface and secretly provide some help to the Feng army." First, they were sent 50,000 quintals of tungsten ore, plus 50,000 people, to support the Feng army. ”
Cao Kun's brows suddenly furrowed, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It's not proper, if the Japanese know about it, it will be a big trouble, Ziyu, don't mess around, let's take a look at the situation." ”
Wu Peifu smiled slightly: "Dashuai, the humble post has been cut first, and the things have been sent over, if something goes wrong, please punish Dashuai!" ”
As soon as Cao Kun heard this, he was stunned, staring at Wu Peifu deadly, and sighed dejectedly, this is his confidant and favorite general, all counting on him, how else can he be blamed.
"Wu Xiucai is really magnificent, and it is really rare to be able to help us!" Yang Yuting said with a smile.
Zhang Tinglan also nodded, and then said: "Neighbor, there is another person who also sent us 10,000 people, and promised to provide coal openly, who do you guess this person is?" ”
"It can't be Yan Laoxi, right?" Yang Yuting was even more surprised, and hurriedly said: "There is a lot of coal in Shanxi, but does he have the courage to do this?" ”
"Neighbor Ge, Yan Xishan can't be underestimated, this guy is shrewd! He just allowed the Japanese to invest in Shanxi, and he turned his head and sent us something, which is really worthy of being a Jin businessman. ”
Yang Yuting also hahadaxiao when he heard it: "Betting on both ends, no one can be offended, it is exactly what businessmen do, but it is still impossible to use the concept of doing business, playing politics, and engaging in military affairs." ”
While he was talking, suddenly his staff officer hurriedly ran in: "Report to the commander, the Japanese have attacked a post on our border defense line, and all fifteen soldiers have been killed, ask the commander for instructions!" (To be continued......)
