175 Earth Dragon Overturned? Still is?
Port of Vladivostok.
This one, snatched from the Qing Dynasty axe through the Second Opium War, which was coveted by successive tsars and overturned the table with joy after hearing the news, has made Russia an important port for the Pacific countries, and now it has been renovated, and the huge and exposed forts on both sides of the waterway are clearly visible.
On the docks of the harbor, busy and noisy, groups of Russian soldiers were lining up on deck, then into the small, dimly lit cabins, and sent thousands of miles away to fight and plunder for His Majesty the Great Tsar.
Three troop carriers and three freighters flying the French flag, the Russians sent several powerful warships, but forgot to send more transports, so they could only stuff the soldiers into the hold one by one, and fill the freighters with a carrying capacity of more than twenty percent of the usual capacity!
Looking at the dense soldiers, Alekseev was a little proud, the carefully formulated plan was finally about to be implemented, as long as the fleet eliminated the Beiyang Naval Division, these soldiers who followed behind the fleet would land from Lushun and then sweep the entire Liaodong Peninsula!
And most importantly!
The elite Cossack cavalry and 30,000 infantry have already set out, and those pigs with pigtails will probably not know if they are killed, and the DPRK is just trying to distract them! When the iron horse rolls and the saber flies, the whole Northeast will cry under the iron hooves!
And the Liaodong Peninsula will tremble under the guns of these soldiers in front of him, and that beautiful and superior ice-free port will become his best gift to His Majesty the Tsar! As long as they control it, whether it is Britain or Germany, or the Hawaiian young master who is so timid that he lets the fleet take shelter, will tremble under the muzzle of the gun!
Governor of the Far East!
A governor of the Far East, who finally controlled the entire Northeast, and later Korea, lived up to his name, and not nestled in tiny Vladivostok!
"General Witheft, it's up to you this time." Alekseev handed over a cigar, which was made in the Philippines and tasted really bad compared to Cuban cigars.
"Don't worry, Mr. Governor, I'll tell those pigtailed pigs what the real navy is!" Withoeft took the cigar, lit it, took a hard puff, and was in high spirits!
"Then I'll wait here for the general's triumphant return." Alexasyev also burst out laughing.
Soon, the soldiers were stuffed into the freighter, and with a whistle, the warships began to leave the port first, followed by six freighters, passing through the waterway and into the vast sea.
No one knew that in a window in the harbor, two eyes were staring closely at the departing fleet, and a smile appeared on the corner of their mouths.
"One, two, three......."
"Four battleships."
"Five heavy cruisers."
"Four light cruisers."
"Seven gunboats and torpedo boats."
"Six freighters."
Shen Jun held a telescope and counted the warships leaving the harbor, and every time he reported a number, several of his subordinates behind him would quickly record it.
As Kerkob's special service in the Far East, he and his men crossed the border from Korea ten days earlier and came to Vladivostok in a detachment of coolies.
In the past few days, a few hundred francs and pounds have already made him gain a lot, and he has roughly figured out the location of the defenses and important warehouses in Vladivostok, and he can go back only after the departure of the Russian fleet today.
As the last freighter slowly left, there were only three warships and a few gunboats left in the huge harbor, Shen Jun smiled slightly, but he didn't expect the Russians to be quite cautious, and actually left a heavy cruiser, a coastal defense ship, and a light cruiser, and the rest were gunboats and torpedo boats that could not carry out ocean-going operations, but I don't know if these warships will become targets for the navy's bastards to practice gunnery, or will they be captured in the end.
"Have you written it all?" Shen Jun asked immediately after putting down the binoculars.
"Head, don't worry, it's all written down."
"Divide it into five parts, one for each person, and if you find out, you know what to do."
"Yes."
"How's the action group doing?"
"There were two telegraph lines in Vladivostok, and I arranged two groups of three people in each group to cut the telegraph lines as soon as they heard the sound of cannonballs. But. The subordinate thought for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Head, do you really think our fleet will come here?" ”
The corners of Shen Jun's mouth were slightly raised, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "Don't worry, the young master understands much better than you and me, if Vladivostok is not destroyed for a day, the Russians will not let him rest assured for a day!" ”
"Let's go."
"Leave a few people to protect the radio station and get ready to guide the fleet to shoot at the target, and the rest will evacuate with me." Shen Jun continued: "In two days, I'm afraid there won't even be a place to step here. ”
"Yes."
After the pieces of paper that recorded all the defense maps and data were divided into five parts, Shen Jun and his party quickly divided into several groups, carried the big baggage used for camouflage in the room, and immediately separated after going out, and scattered in all directions.
Ningguta.
In the Green Camp Han White Flag Station, Shoushan stood at the window, frowning, and for some reason, since this morning, he always felt restless, as if something big was about to happen.
"Could it be that I'm going to make trouble again?"
Shoushan hurriedly shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly.
Two years ago, he, a descendant of Yuan Chonghuan, was a hereditary cavalry lieutenant who rushed from Yanjing to Liaodong, and after meeting his younger brother, he joined the Heilongjiang general Yiketang A and was ordered to garrison the area of Jiulian City in Andong.
I thought I could get a big battle, but I didn't expect to see the shadow of Yue himself, and the news came that the Sailor was wiped out, and at that time, he, like everyone, thought that this was the Beiyang Naval Division, but I didn't expect the news to come a few days later, and it was a Pacific Naval Division that had never heard of it that defeated him.
Later things made him feel even more enjoyable, because after defeating the Sailor and killing all the warships, this Pacific Sailor Fleet, which was born out of nowhere, went to copy his nest regardless of it, not only bombing Sasebo into mud, but also blowing up more than a dozen ports one after another, and I heard that he also robbed a lot of big ships and weapons.
What made him feel most incredible was that these bandits beat people to death, and finally got a compensation of tens of thousands of taels converted into treasury silver!
Grandma, even if you add up all the silver in the Qing Dynasty, I'm afraid that you won't make as much money as those bandits in a fight!
When the news finally reached the barracks that the armistice was declared and the Ryukyu Island was handed over, the entire camp exploded, and everyone was talking about the young master Li who was born in Liaodong and was the former chief soldier of the Eight Banners of Weihan in Jinzhou.
Especially the rumor that he asked people to throw a few ingots of scattered silver at the negotiation table and forcibly sell dozens of small islands to him, which even provoked him and his younger brother to rush to the nearest restaurant that night, and even poured a few catties of burning knives to feel enjoyable!
He himself has been abolished by the Pacific Army, and he will not be able to recover in a few years, but what he didn't expect was that the court suddenly made peace with Yue himself at this time, not only withdrew all the generals in Korea, but even those who came urgently were sent back to Ningguta to continue to defend the frontier.
A confused war ended after a few faint cannon shots on the Yalu River, and the imperial court gave up the best chance to recover North Korea, although it ensured the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, but it was also a pity.
Thinking of this, Shoushan sighed and touched the cup placed next to him with his hand.
Just as his hand touched the rim of the cup, the tea in the quilt vibrated violently, and the ripples circled along the wall of the cup in the center, forming a small whirlpool!
The earth dragon is overturned? Still is?
Outside the house, there were a few bangs on the door, and before he could react, he saw that the door was slammed open, and his younger brother Yongshan had already rushed into the room, shouting with an anxious face: "Brother, something is wrong, the Russians have attacked the camp!" ”
"What!"
Shoushan jumped up violently!
How can it be! How could it be Russians? Didn't Lord Zhongtang just sign that agreement with them in Yanjing? How could it be them!?
Seeing the eldest brother standing still, Yongshan thought that the eldest brother was stunned by the news, so he hurriedly went up and pulled him, and hurriedly shouted: "Brother, quickly find a way, the Russians are all cavalry!" There are three or four thousand strikers, what are we going to do! ”
"All cavalry? Three or four thousand! ”
Shoushan was also taken aback by so many large numbers, although Ningguta is an important frontier land, it is only about a hundred horsemen, although there are still three thousand green battalion infantry, but not only is there a lack of foreign guns, but even the swords are not neat, what can you do to block thousands of Russian cavalry?!
Just as he was thinking about what to do, there were also dense gunshots in the distance, as soon as he heard such a dense gunshot, Shoushan knew that this time it was probably a catastrophe, so he pulled his younger brother sharply and shouted: "Tell me to go down and retreat immediately." ”
"Retreat?" Yongshan was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Brother, there are Russians all around, where are we retreating?" ”
"I can't care so much, gather all the people and run in the direction of Fengtian, if you can run one by one, otherwise no one will be able to escape!" Shoushan didn't care to say more, took off the sword hanging on the wall, took out two revolver guns and dozens of bullets from the cabinet, handed half of them to his younger brother Yongshan, and immediately walked out.
It's just that Yongshan didn't understand it yet, and asked while running: "Brother, why don't you go to Changchun?" Isn't General Iktanga's army there? ”
"Stupid, how many people does General Iktang have in his hands? After returning from Liaodong, those temporarily recruited Xiangyong have been dismissed, and now there are less than 10,000 people there, since the Russians have been prepared for a long time, they will definitely focus on it! ”
Shoushan ran to the door quickly, and a soldier had already moved to the war horse, and hurriedly straddled the horse and continued: "Only go to Fengcai to do it!" Don't forget, where is Nie Shicheng with tens of thousands of soldiers returning from Korea, and only by holding Mukden can the imperial court have a chance to mobilize a large army to fight a decisive battle against Russia! ”
After Shoushan finished speaking, he saw that his younger brother had already mounted his horse, and some of his own soldiers and scattered warriors were also concentrated on the left and right, and he was just about to give the order to set off, when he suddenly saw a group of Russian cavalry galloping towards him, and immediately shouted.
"Follow me out!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The hundred horsemen shouted loudly at the same time, and suddenly the horses were like lightning, and the blood knives were curled, and the stabbing sun became more and more red.
