It stands to reason that Hokkaido, which is under Russian occupation, should be in a relatively closed environment, and various materials will be subject to many checks by the Russians when they enter. And the Russians did have a strict censorship system, but there were still some people with good hands and eyes who could send in certain things that the Japanese needed!

There is a saying that the system is set by people, and if a good system is implemented by a group of mediocre and greedy people, then there will be all kinds of problems after all. Of course, this is only one aspect of the problem, and more reasons are what the Russians know but cannot be broken. For example, the first problem is that the Russians needed a lot of materials to build Hokkaido, especially food! Hokkaido is not a small area, and the construction of military fortresses such as Muroran Port requires a lot of manpower. For the Russians, manpower is not a problem, just directly recruit a group of Japanese from other occupied areas, people come, and their mouths follow, but neither the Russian Far East nor Japan's Hokkaido is a production area, and Japan even has a problem with grain self-sufficiency, so in this regard, the Russians must endure the "high-priced grain" from outside and some of the "private goods" in it. These "smuggling goods" are not only from the Beiyang, but also from the United Kingdom, which is smuggled by some high-speed smuggling ships that cannot distinguish the country.

The Russians began to try to intercept it, but it was certainly not cost-effective to use the fleet, and the long coastline of Hokkaido provided enough landing sites for smuggling ships, and the Russians were already short of manpower, which made this anti-smuggling operation very difficult. Since they can't go far, the Russians can only use their best high-pressure policy to deal with the Japanese in Hokkaido who show respect for Russia and actually hate Russia in their bones! And just after Xu Jie and Li Hongzhang discussed adding some blockage to the Russians in Hokkaido. An undercurrent began to accelerate in Hokkaido!

"Yoshida-kun, are we going to wait like this? The Russians are slaughtering our people with butcher's knives, whips and bayonets to force us to build cities and fortresses for them. Almost all of the Japanese people are involved in building a cage to imprison the whole of Japan, and the old men of the government are still making us patient! These guys deserve to be damned! In a small two-story building in Muroran, a short and stocky Japanese man said loudly.

"We need the Qing and the Russians to strike first, only then will Japan have a chance to win, the First Sino-Japanese War has already consumed too much of Japan's energy. What Japan needs to do now is to accumulate strength and strength, not to rush and kill recklessly. Another man standing in the shadows patiently explained. Also, I need to know, why did the batch of weapons we hid in the Miyamoto family disappear? There's no command for us to use it. ”

"I really don't know about that. However, my subordinates have heard that in the countryside of Sapporo, there were people who carried guns bought at high prices from the Hokkai. But I don't know if Lu Dao is the batch in our hands, you should know that Lu Dao, not only do we have weapons in our hands, but some big families also have weapons in their hands. Those profiteers dare to sell anything for money! The short and fat Japanese said with a little weakness.

"I hope nothing big happens." Yoshida looked out the window with some uneasiness. And at this moment, those Sapporo people with weapons in their hands have already begun to carry out a battle that has been planned for a long time! And the provider of these weapons is none other than the Humpty Japanese who is arguing with Yoshida. In Japan, there has been a long history of subordinates doing something without the authorization of their superiors, and then letting their superiors be forced to accept the consequences of this matter! This short and fat Japanese just wanted to use this riot to see how the Russians reacted and the Japanese government reacted, and then proceeded to the next step, of course, for their own safety. He set the riot in the Sapporo area instead of the Muroran area! …,

When a group of Russian soldiers came to the village as usual to plunder, everything was as usual, and all the Japanese closed their doors, and some even blocked the doors and windows with furniture or stones, but these were nothing to the able-bodied Russians. They just needed to do something to burn off their excess stamina, and just as they were looking for their target, a figure in a kimono quickly ran past the street, and all this did not escape the eyes of the Russian ensign who led the group.

"Where, brothers, if I'm not mistaken. She was supposed to have something in her hand. The Russian lieutenant said excitedly, and under the stimulation of these words, the Russian soldiers who were looking for the target of the robbery ran towards the disappeared figure like a pack of wolves looking for a trace of blood.

"This woman is running really fast." A Russian soldier whispered, and a few minutes later, the Russians, who were in hot pursuit, saw the figure quickly run into a small room, followed by the sound of locking the door and carrying heavy objects.

"That Japanese woman actually wants to use these things to block the army of His Majesty the Tsar, this is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen!" The second lieutenant of the Russian army smiled heartily, as if the prey was within reach. At this time, the Russians who got carried away did not notice that some vague figures had appeared in the adjacent rooms, and one by one the muzzles of guns were pointed at these reckless Russians.

The sudden sound of gunshots from the wound in the next room suddenly woke up the hot-headed Russians, but in less than a minute, six of their subordinates had fallen in a pool of blood, four of whom were killed on the spot, while the remaining two were groaning in a pool of blood. "Hurry up, let's rush in and find cover." Under the command of the second lieutenant, the group of Russian soldiers fired in the back and quickly ran towards the Japanese woman's house.

The wooden door and the furniture behind it could not stop the professional soldiers, and the shocking force that erupted during the death threats slammed the door open, and then a group of Russians covered each other and ran in, quickly seizing the windows and shooting at the Japanese who were coming out of the house and preparing to charge.

"Hell, since these yellow-skinned monkeys are willing to die, then we will fulfill them!" The lieutenant said loudly as he brandished his pistol. "Okay, sir, we'll ......." Just when the subordinates wanted to say a word or two to boost their morale, suddenly there was a loud bang from the roof! A large number of opposing steel balls, driven by gunpowder, rained down a real rain of bullets on the Russian soldiers! In just a few seconds, this trap wiped out more than a dozen Russian soldiers, most of whom were killed instantly, while those who were wounded and unconscious were pulled out by the Japanese who entered later, and then tortured to death by various extremely cruel means. This violent act, later known as the Sapporo Incident, started a new wave of anti-Russian sentiment in Hokkaido, and as a result, the Russians were forced to resume various sweeps that had just ended.

Unlike previous riots, this one was more tightly organized and strategic, choosing the countryside where the Russians controlled relatively weakly as the main battlefield, and the riots were relatively concentrated, and after inflicting heavy losses on the Russians, they quickly evacuated the villages, retreating towards the mountains and forests. And he took with him almost all the food and other supplies in the vicinity. All that remains for the Russians is empty villages.

In the aftermath of the uprising, the local Russian garrison hoped to solve the problem quickly in a relatively short period of time, and in the eyes of the Russians, the Japanese uprising, although it caused more casualties, was more organized. But still not an opponent of the Russian Army, armed to the teeth. And when the Russian GIs swaggered into the mountains, they found out that they were wrong! …,

First of all, the Japanese guerrillas who appeared this time definitely had a sound organizational system, and all their actions were extremely purposeful, unlike the Japanese ronins who killed people just for the sake of killing people in the past, they targeted the Russian fragile and critical supply line good soldier station. Although Hokkaido is not large, it has more than 80,000 square kilometers, and more than 60% of the territory is mountainous, and more than 70% is covered by forests. What's more, the Russian army has only less than 50,000 garrisons in the entire Hokkaido, and many of them are naval and fortress troops, so they can't be put into the clean-up operation at all!

Second, the strength of the resistance was diversified, and as the purge deepened, the Russians soon discovered that the guerrillas they faced belonged to different factions, and some of them were obviously the former Japanese Army, and their tactics were changeable, the quality was very high, and the strikes were more accurate and the weapons were good. It is not difficult for the Russians to analyze that these people are the strength of the Japanese government. The other part was a partisan group formed spontaneously by the local nobles, and their attacks were more aimed at sabotage, in order to resist the atrocities of the Russians. All actions are extremely random and brutal. They don't take prisoners, they don't care about the consequences, they only exist for destruction!

As for the third category, the Russians clearly saw the shadow of the British, the number of this type of guerrillas is very small, but the destructiveness must not be underestimated, these people are more like a group of mercenaries, the Russians have found that some foreigners entered Hokkaido with British passports, and then a few months later, during an operation, the Russians found that the passport holders were participating in the operation against the Russian army, this force is very strong, and the equipment can be described as fearful, in addition to various rifles and pistols, Even light machine guns and mortars! They had no interest in attacking ordinary Russian troops, but more in assassinating Russian high-ranking troops and raiding various warehouses. And this destructiveness is also very amazing, nearly 10% of the materials that the Russians have worked so hard to transport are destroyed in the hands of these people, making the Russian clean-up operation surprisingly slow!

This series of chaos caught the Russians a little off guard, but it was not only the Russians who were caught off guard, but even the Japanese government felt incredible! Why did Katsu Haizhou suddenly break out into such a large-scale riot when he did not order the use of Japan's latent power in Hokkaido?
