790 The Qing court's response
Lin Yuan knew that Shen Wanqing's information was faster than that of the Qing court, and now he already knew the **** news, but the Qing court didn't know about it, and they were all immersed in the joy of ignorance.
Lin Yuan immediately ordered the Seventh Division to immediately load the equipment onto the train, and although the Seventh Division had only one regiment of troops, there were more than 300 main battle vehicles and combat support vehicles of all kinds, plus more than 500 automobile trains used to carry heavy loads, and these vehicles needed to be transported by train from the armored training base in Jilin to Beijing, and then take the Beijing-Yunnan Railway from Beijing to Zhangjiakou, get off at Zhangjiakou, and from there enter Kulen by automobile motorization.
Forty-five tanks, one hundred infantry fighting vehicles, ten self-propelled guns, and various ammunition transport vehicles, nearly 2,000 fighters and auxiliary personnel, and countless materials were needed.
Lin Yuan didn't need to make a specific plan for loading, he knew that Xiao Yingwu was good at this, in Lin Yuan's era, they often carried out long-distance transfer exercises, and all kinds of transfer plans were readily available, and they didn't have to worry about the enemy's aerial reconnaissance and air strikes, so Lin Yuan just emphasized the secrecy and asked that the leakage of information about military trains along the railway line was strictly prohibited, and Russia did not have an intelligence network that could get strategic-level intelligence in China, and the Japanese intelligence network was defeated by Lin Yuan. Therefore, it is difficult for the Russians to know the news of the transfer of Lin Yuan's army.
After Lin Yuan arranged this matter, he ordered high-altitude drones to reconnoiter the border between Russia and Mongolia, and found that a large number of people gathered on the line of the Egger River and the Seguge River, roughly estimated to be about 20,000 people, and also found a large number of military horses from the aerial pictures, Lin Yuan thought: "It seems that the Russians are all cavalry this time, maybe they are all Cossack cavalry!" β
At this moment, the eunuch in the palace came to Lin Yuan in a hurry and said, "Lord Lin Yuan has entered the palace and has important matters to discuss. β
Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Could it be the news that the Qing court knows the ****?" So Lin Yuan asked, "What's wrong?" β
The eunuch said, "The slave is just a messenger, and the slave doesn't know what happened." β
Lin Yuan then asked, "Who did you see?" β
The eunuch said anxiously: "My lord, don't ask, let's go quickly, it was all said above, if we don't bring back the invited adult within half an hour, our heads will be gone." β
Lin Yuan thought to himself: "The eunuchs who came to announce the decree in the past have always been slow and logical, and they have never been in a hurry, and there is no one who will lose their heads if they don't go back when the time comes, it seems that this matter is ****!" Lin Yuan then followed the eunuch to the Forbidden City, and as soon as he arrived at ***, he saw the great eunuch Li Lianying standing at the door, sweating profusely.
Lin Yuan walked up to Li Lianying, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Li Lianying say anxiously: "Is Lord Lin riding a horse or sitting in a sedan chair?" Without waiting for Lin Yuan to answer, he said to himself: "Look at my head, Lord Lin is a general who commands thousands of troops and horses, of course he is going to ride a horse!" Then he didn't care about Lin Yuan, turned around and said to a little eunuch: "Hurry up and lead the horse for Lord Lin!" β
Lin Yuan couldn't help but think after listening to Li Lianying's words: "It seems that the Qing court still attaches great importance to this matter, in the past, as soon as the officials entered the ***, the military attachΓ© dismounted, the civil official got off the sedan chair, and walked to the noon gate and the Qianqing Palace, but this time I was allowed to ride in." β
After a while, a little eunuch led a tall horse, trotted to Lin Yuan's horse, bent down and raised the reins above his head, holding it in front of Lin Yuan's eyes, Lin Yuan stretched out his hand to take the reins, and before he could speak, Li Lianying said: "My lord, don't say more, hurry up and get on the horse, someone will naturally pick you up when you get inside." β
Lin Yuan didn't say much, so he got on the horse, came to the noon gate and dismounted, and was led to the Qianqing Palace by a eunuch, as soon as Lin Yuan entered the palace gate, he saw that there were already a few people sitting in the house: Prince Qing, Prince Gong, Weng Tongyi, Rong Lu, Sun Yuwen, all old acquaintances, at this time Emperor Guangxu also saw Lin Yuan, and hurriedly said: "Lin Aiqing, come and sit, first show you a telegram." β
As he spoke, someone sent a telegram to Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan took it and looked at it, it was the announcement of the establishment of the Great Mongolian Empire, Lin Yuan asked, "Where did this thing come from?" β
Prince Gong replied on the side: "It was sent from Kulun, and the sender is the Mongolian Zhebuzun Danba!" β
Lin Yuan swept it and said, "Our meeting is just to discuss countermeasures, isn't it?" β
Everyone nodded, and Emperor Guangxu said with displeasure on his face: "Why hasn't Yuan Shikai arrived yet?" β
At this moment, the little eunuch outside suddenly shouted: "The secretary of the military department, the secretary of the criminal department, Yuan Shikai and Lord Yuan have arrived!" Then I saw the palace door open, Yuan Shikai walked in, and was about to kneel down when he lifted his clothes, and Emperor Guangxu immediately said: "Don't get those etiquettes, sit down quickly, there is something important." β
Yuan Shikai hurriedly sat on the chair and said as he sat down: "Weichen has trespassed." Emperor Guangxu ignored him, reached out and picked up the telegram, handed it to Yuan Shikai, and said, "After reading it, tell me what you mean." β
Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Hangda Dorji has given Yuan Shikai a lot of benefits, according to what the Wulan sisters said, they have been played with by this Yuan Shikai, I don't know what kind of attitude Yuan Shikai will have?" β
After reading it, Yuan Shikai asked, "I don't know how the situation of Kulun is now?" β
Emperor Guangxu said: "Kulun's minister Sanduo was expelled, and I only know these things, and the others don't know about it." β
When Lin Yuan heard Yuan Shikai's question, he couldn't help but think: "This Yuan Shikai still has some talent, knowing that Lu Dao will first probe the enemy's situation, and there are many people who can't do this alone." β
At this moment, Yuan Shikai then asked, "What about General Uriya Sutai?" They have quite a few elite troops there, how are they doing? β
Emperor Guangxu shook his head again and said, "Now we are completely dark about the situation in Mongolia, and we don't know anything. β
Yuan Shikai looked at Lin Yuan and said, "Lord Lin Yuan has many strange ideas, maybe he has news of Kulun. β
Lin Yuan thought to himself: "What a cunning Yuan Shikai, he asked two questions, and didn't say anything else, but pushed the matter to me, I can't tell them about the establishment of an intelligence network in Kulun." So Lin Yuan said, "I don't know about the situation of Kulun. β
Emperor Guangxu said anxiously: "You are all ministers of military aircraft, and you are all the pillars of my Qing Dynasty, and now that I have rebelled in the Qing Dynasty, everyone hurry up and think of a way!" β
Weng Tonggong said: "Don't panic, the Holy Ancestor has repeatedly rebelled in various Mongolian tribes, and my Holy Ancestor Kangxi Emperor has quelled the rebellion of the Dzungar Department. β
Prince Gong said on the side: "Lord Weng doesn't know, the Mongolian philosopher does not respect Danba and dares to establish himself as the emperor of the Great Mongolian Empire, and there is the support of the Russians behind him, and our battle is really difficult to fight!" β
