Chapter 29: Those who give birth to me, monkeys and deaths (eight)

Six days before the end of the 20th year of the Guangxu period, the lights in the Liangjiang Governor's Office were brightly lit.

Inside and outside the Supervisory Office, guard posts were placed. The soldiers who came to the post were equipped with bayonets. They stood straight under the lights, watching every person who was called here with vigilance. The officers with the post patroled posts over and over again, fearing that there would be any loopholes in security. This was the first time such a top-secret military discussion since leaving North Korea. Everyone seemed to have received an injection of adrenaline, as if they had returned to the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 and their whole spirit was raised!

Xu Yifan's subordinates rushed over from all places, Tang Shaoyi, Sheng Xuanhuai, Zhang Peilun, Zhan Tianyou, Beiyang Investment Promotion Bureau - now they have to be called the general office of Liangjiang Investment Promotion Bureau, Xiangshen, and the general office of Liangjiang Telegraph Bureau, all of them gathered together. The imperial guards were also elites, Li Yun and Chu Wanli came together, and senior officers such as Zhang Xuzhou, Nie Shicheng, Chen Jinping, Yuan Shikai, and Zhang Wei were all tied up and came in a pegasus. The sentry could not remember how many times the officials under Xu Yifan had been greeted.

Among the lights, Chen De and Pu walked shoulder to shoulder in the Supervisor's Office.

Although people kept coming, the Supervisory Office was still quiet and had a solemn atmosphere. The wide courtyard and schoolyard were all dark. Only at the corners were there a steam lamp hanging high, and under the steam lamp, the guards stood quietly in the halo. Everything around was silent. Only the echo of Pu Yang Chen De's horse boots hitting the bluestone road.

"The fourth brother, are there almost all the people? If everyone is here, you should close the door and draw a part of the guard post at the front door, and concentrate it outside the Grandmaster's signing room."

In the quiet, Chen De suddenly said something like this. Pu Yang pinched his fingers with a stern face and calculated for a while: "It should be here. Besides, it's already seven o'clock now. This is the time for the Grand Marshal to pass on. If anyone is late, he doesn't have to come in."

Chen De smiled and patted Pu on his shoulder: "You go south, I go north, and close the sentry. Take it tight so that you can avoid loopholes when you are locked!"

Pu Yang's face turned cold: "Erdezi, I'll use you to teach you? Why do you think my identity as a man is hindering you? I won't let you feel at ease if I take a whistle?"

Chen De's hand froze there, and after a while, he smiled bitterly: "Who is talking about this devil all day long? I thought you figured it out, but it still didn't! I can't help you with this matter, it's all your own hangup... If you don't pull this, go to the ward to close the ward!"

He was also afraid of talking about this topic with Pu Yang, so he waved his hand and headed in another direction. Pu Yang stood there and breathed a long sigh.

He had long since doubted Xu Yifan. Xu Yifan was going to take the world, and all the mules in Jiangning City knew about it.

To be honest, Pu Yang didn't care. In his life, he had never felt that there were too many benefits of the Aisin Gioro family. He adopted the baby early, and neither Prince Chunxian's Mansion nor Duan County Prince's Mansion, he didn't care much about him. After Duan County Prince's Mansion adopted him, he had a son in seven or eight years. He lived alone in the branch office at less than ten years old. Except for his old sister, who took care of him at all! The salary of the Qing royal family had been reduced and reduced, and a baby was only more than four hundred taels a year. He had never seen this money before the branch office. Later, Duan County Prince's Mansion gave him eighty taels a year. The old sister was only in her teens at that time, and secretly gave him some money for his own money. He survived and grew up to this day. Although he was a noble man, he was actually helpless!

In this world, whoever does it is natural. Xu Yifan handles the children of the Eight Banners of Jiangning Jingkou, which is a perfect way to do it. He has no reason to support them anymore! The dynasty has changed, and it is much more powerful than this. It can allow them to be self-reliant, not harm them, but save them. Pu Yang grew up in the capital. Those idle jokes of the bannermen have been seen since childhood! If Xu Yifan had not accepted him into the Imperial Guard, he would have been such a idle snack.

I figured it out, but now I am still standing in front of me is self-doubt!

He, a bannerman, really has a future in the Imperial Guard? Since Xu Yifan, everyone in this group has done everything they do to dig out the corners of the Qing Dynasty. When he is in the middle of it, he must think about whether he is alert to him and guard against him! The old sister shows up in public and goes to Xu Yifan to ask for a way for him, which makes him feel even more ashamed. He thinks he can protect his elder sister, but he doesn't expect that he will have to protect him in the end! If a man standing upright pointed at his own tribe and said that he would use his elder sister as a doorkeeper, he will have changed his status as a new dynasty. How does Pu Yang be a human being?

"It's better to be knocked down by a bullet in the battle with the Japanese..."

Pu Yang couldn't help looking at the signing room. He took off his military cap and sighed: "...Master, when will I be able to reward my fourth son Pu, a place to die with peace of mind? If this is true, I can do anything except sorry for my elder sister!"

Pu Yang's voice naturally could not be heard in the signing room of the Supervisor's Office. Now everyone's hearts are shaken. He is a little impatient and has a wings of noses. If it weren't for Xu Yifan's seat, he would have stood up and cheered!

Xu Yifan's signing room has changed. His large desk was temporarily removed, and a row of Western sofas against the wall. The signing room is a Qing map from Beiyang Bookstore. When it comes to combat, this small-scale map is not useful, but Xu Yifan uses this picture to give people a sense of shock!

He and Zhang Peilun were separated from this map. Xu Yifan just looked at the people present with bright eyes. Zhang Peilun was obviously Zhuge in Xu Yifan's scene, sitting on another sofa chair with a smile, with a calm expression. He did not take responsibility for his identity under Xu Yifan, but just made some suggestions in a hurry. In this haste, Xu Yifan came up with such a big plan, involving the mastery and application of international situations at home and abroad, all aspects, and Xu Yifan had his own opinions, but under his curtain, people who are familiar with the thoughts of governors and governors in various places and are well versed in various places, who else can be there besides Li Hongzhang's son-in-law?

On the map, a shocking red arrow sets from Jiangning, goes down the river, then turns north, and points directly to Lushun! When you arrive in Lushun, the thick red arrow is divided into countless small arrows, which not only covers all southern Liaoning, but also establishes a connection with the Northern Dynasties. There are also small red arrows drawn from dotted lines pointing directly to the junction of China, Russia and North Korea.

Now the Iketang Ajilin training army, which is mainly gathered in the southern part of Jinzhou, Lushun, was also marked, but next to the symbol, a large fork was hit by Xu Yifan's ink traces!

The actions on this map are not only that, but the Song Qing army in the Suiyuan area were also marked out. The Yi army was a blue arrow, which went straight to the northern end of the western Liaoning Corridor through the Rehe Chaoyang and met with the red arrow in southern Liaoning!

Xu Yifan's intention was understandable, but he was preparing to mobilize a unit of the Iktang Guards to go north secretly and quickly through the sea to disarm the Iktang Abe army - isn't your court going to disarm my 3,000 children in the Northern Dynasties? Xu Laozi will give you a first move! After disarming Jilin's military training, he would take advantage of the South of Liao and contact North Korea. With a stable retreat, he would not dare to use the ten courage of the Japanese to go north with a broken army and fight with the Ikgee Army.

Yi Jun was a nail that Xu Yifan had laid long ago. They came to meet up to make a strong move.

Xu Yifan's move was to extinguish the crisis in North Korea before the court and Japan were launched, and at the same time, it also posed a threat to the Qing court in the north! It goes without saying how bold this move is. There are many variables and great risks, and it goes without saying that everyone here is excited that Xu Yifan is still the Xu Yifan who fought from Southeast Asia and from North Korea, with a firm will and a grand momentum, and strives to take the initiative!

Any group is most afraid of being the superiors to be content and self-satisfied. If the superiors are like this, it will only be a matter of depression in the future. It is still possible to argue about how this plan is, but Xu Yifan's high spirits make everyone feel angry!

Xu Yifan glanced around and saw that everyone was shocked and excited. He smiled in his heart and asked, "What do you think? If the court dares to sell the country, I dare to defend the country! If the country dies, the court will be the court, and the country will be the ones who are born, we will be the ones! If you have any questions about this plan, let's think about it carefully... The court has made a move, and I, Xu Yifan, must not stop!"

A sentence seemed to awaken everyone from the excitement, and all kinds of questions suddenly emerged. Xu Yifan's actions were too big. If this move was successful, it would be equivalent to telling the world that luck had changed. Now we should consider how to enter Beijing City. The group created by Xu Yifan can reach this point in a short time? Aren't you afraid that it will be too late? The momentum is ten thousand, and once it fails, you may turn around!

The first person to stand up was Sheng Xuanhuai. He frowned: "The general turned to the Imperial Guards in southern Liaoning. He was afraid that he would use the ships of China Merchants Corporation?"

Xu Yifan smiled: "The only strategic maritime mobility of the Qing Dynasty is in my hands. Can I waste it in vain? If you can go by land, I might as well fight Beijing first!"

"Since the court and Japan have guaranteed it with Britain, France, the United States and other countries, we have no navy escorts. How to ensure the safety of this waterway? The Imperial Guards have been transported. If the great powers cut off my sea supply route, what will happen to you then?"

Xu Yifan smiled and raised two fingers, and bowed one by one: "When the troops go up, the secret is the key point. The ship is loaded within three days. China Merchants Ship still takes the normal passenger and freight route from Shanghai to Tianjin. As long as you keep the confidentiality to your home, others cannot find it. When the fleet reaches Tianjin, others cannot see the abnormality. How much effort can it take to go from Tianjin to Lushun? Overnight, my imperial guards have already landed in Lushun!

As for the subsequent sea supply... When my Imperial Guard grasps the situation in southern Liaoning, military food is no longer necessary to be transported, and some of the arms can be solved on the spot - as long as Iketang's armed forces can be successfully disarmed! The subsequent supply mission is actually not very heavy. And I can ensure that the Western powers will only recognize the fait accompli, and will not take decisive actions against me! As for Japan... this is their last desperate struggle. Even if their navy is complete, they can't stand the war of attrition with us on the mainland, so there is no need to worry!"

Sheng Xuanhuai's face was still as deep as water. As soon as Xu Yifan finished speaking, he continued to ask loudly: "How dare the Grand Marshal ensure that we have mastered southern Liaoning and ensured that North Korea will not support Japan to fight for this place? After all, this peace agreement was made by them! If this matter is big, if we don't make a good deal, we will become public enemies of the world and the world! A great situation will be destroyed!"

This sentence asked everyone the biggest doubt - except for Chu Wanli, he was smiling lazily there.

This move is extremely strong. Xu Yifan was the best player in his momentum and fortune. He used 40,000 troops to gather together in the South and North Oceans. With the reputation of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, he jumped above the trend. At this point, Xu Yifan has always been pressing step by step. The court retreated step by step, and was busy and only cared about dealing with it. All civil servants have a natural mentality of seeking stability. First manage the strength at hand, consolidate their foundation, and then seek progress. This is the best choice for civil servants. This court's peace agreement with Japan was obviously a trick that was taken in front of Xu Yifan. At this opportunity, sending a telegram to express his position and increasing his reputation is enough in the eyes of most people. Why take such a risk?

Xu Yifan's eyes slowly swept across everyone, and saw that many people were worried about Sheng Xuanhuai's words. He smiled faintly: "...I have said this many times, and now I will say the last time... Times are different, everyone! What kind of trend did our group rise up? Now should we deviate from our own luck? The world has suffered from humiliation from foreign countries for a long time, and the world has suffered from the old and corrupt Qing court for a long time! Every action of ours proves that the Qing court is no longer suitable for this era. Compared with them, every action of ours

Even if we move, we must prove that we have this determination and ability to save the fortune of this end of the world! We want the world to see that they are selling their country and we are saving the country! This is not the change of dynasties in the past three thousand years, but those who have obtained the hearts of this world will get the world! North Korea must protect it! Once this opportunity is missed and you want to get it, you don’t know when it will be! We can no longer wait! The foundation can be sorted out slowly, but the opportunity is not always there! The court makes this foolish move and does not use it all out. I will be in vain to bear the infatuation of Cao Cao!

...As for the interference of the great powers that the Lords are worried about, I can ensure this for you. Western powers, especially Britain and France, mediated the war, and even turned to Japan in the end. All of them are to maintain a force that can compete with Russia's expansion in Northeast Asia. Now I defeated the main Japanese imperial guards, and went north, and had the Yi army to strengthen its momentum. I even used my own army to protect my country's territory. What choice would the British and French powers make? I believe that the Lords can also understand this truth! We finally snatched this luck from Japan. Do we still have to give up gently? The court is a fool, and I am not a fool!"

Xu Yifan's voice buzzed and echoed in the signing room, shaking everyone's heart. Could it be that this era is really different? The East Asian energy is really in Xu Yifan's palm? Otherwise, why is he so confident!

Sheng Xuanhuai nodded slowly, and the General Office of the China Merchants Corporation, whose face was so nervous that his face turned pale, whispered a few times, and said with a smile: "Since the Grand Marshal has made a decision, we will cooperate with it... The China Merchants Corporation can draw thirteen passenger and cargo ships - the end of the year, otherwise there will be more ships to draw. There is no problem with thirteen ships transporting six or seven thousand people at a time."

Xu Yifan smiled and nodded, and Li Yunzong stood up: "Master General, how to draw the troops, who will lead them? Where is Yijun, who will contact us?"

This is a problem with the Imperial Guards. No matter how many political and diplomatic concerns they have in this mission, they just care about the mission itself!

Xu Yifan smiled: "The matter was rushed and I didn't discuss it with you in advance... I have initially considered that the four towns will draw two battalions of soldiers, and together with the auxiliary forces, gather 10,000 people. In a short period of time, it is necessary to conquer Liaonan, a powerful general who dares to fight and rush. Zhang Xuzhou, do you dare to take this task?"

With a loud bang, Zhang Xuzhou stood up and stood there like a black pagoda. When he opened his voice, everyone's heart trembled: "Master, what's there to dare? Leave it to me in Liaonan! Iketang Ah, I will send him to Jiangning to see the Master!"

Before Xu Yifan could express his appreciation, Chu Wanli smiled at the bottom: "I had known that I wouldn't have come back at the beginning... After going around, the ugly one was probably the old man Koonc. The original education plan had to be revised again!"

Xu Yifan glared at him: "Why don't you go? You've been idle enough in Jiangning City - who is a god? Can you expect the court to be so stupid? If we don't leave Liaonan, they may not have dared to sign this peace agreement with Japan!"

Chu Wanli shook his hand repeatedly: "I won't go! Old man Kong doesn't let me go. There are a lot of things to enrich the General Staff. All the regular regulations of the Imperial Guard must come from me. Looking at the leisure and exhaustion... Grand Marshal, I just say one thing, Liaonan's actions must cooperate with Grand Marshal's actions in Liangjiang, so that they can shock the world all at once!"

Chu Wanli knew what a man... Xu Yifan didn't say anything, but Zhang Peilun glanced at him indifferently.

"Master, who will go to Suiyuan?" Li Yunzong remained silent and just asked his own questions within his responsibilities.

It is a bit unstoppable to ask this question. It is natural for Zhang Xuzhou to go to southern Liaoning. Li Yunzong and Chu Wanli must be in charge of Jiangning. With these two people, one is strict and harsh, the other is smart and cunning, and the imperial guards who are being rectified can be said to be as stable as Mount Tai. And the lonely army goes out to intimidate the Northeast, which requires a completely direct and absolutely loyal general. Although such great achievements are made, Nie Shicheng and Chen Jinping are also keen and do not compete with Zhang Xuzhou. But it is not easy to go to Rehe! Even if Song Qing moves at once, no matter which way he goes, he has to pass through the territory that the court still controls. The imperial guards are originally hated by the court, and they are going to poach the corners. If the journey is exposed and there is no point in making meritorious contributions, they will have a chance to die.

Silence was in full swing, Chen Jinping and Nie Shicheng took a breath at the same time, ready to volunteer. The Grand Marshal's career was smooth sailing, and he wanted to make achievements, and he didn't care about anything else. But there was a faint voice in front of him: "Master, I'll go. There are few people in the north, Nie Junmen and Chen Junmen have been in Beiyang for a long time, and there are many people familiar with them... I will contact Song Qing, and it is determined that after Lord Zhang, he will meet with him in Liaonan within one month."

The person who spoke was Yuan Shikai. He stood up because his body was long and short, and he was always a little inappropriate when wearing a military uniform on him, and he didn't see any heroic spirit. But since Xu Yifan, everyone knew that this guy was a ruthless character!

Xu Yifan's eyes moved and nodded slightly: "Okay, go and do it well. There will be a day when you can stand out in the future."

This is the first time that Xu Yifan has agreed to his future after Yuan Shikai became effective! This sentence shows that Yuan Shikai has finally cleaned up his erratic crime and is truly regarded as a member of Xu Yifan's confidant!

The people below were a little turbulent, but Yuan Shikai remained silent and sat down on his own. Xu Yifan ignored him and turned to ask Zhang Xuzhou: "Can the elite be selected in three days? Can the marshalling be completed? The movements of getting on the boat must be secretly and quickly, and others will cooperate with you with all their strength, and you have leaked a little bit of the news. You know what to do!"

Zhang Xuzhou focused his attention and had not had time to express his determination. Tang Shaoyi had already stood up and waved his hand and shouted: "Master, after all, this matter is still not done!"

Everyone was shocked and looked at Tang Shaoyi. Xu Yifan smiled and said, "Why can't you do it?"

"No money!" Tang Shaoyi answered decisively.

"The China Merchants Group mobilized passenger and freighter to ask for money, mobilized the Song Qing army's troops in Yi's army to go north to ask for money. After conquering southern Liaoning, Jilin's military training needs money whether it is incorporating or dismissing them! Not to mention the supply of military funds and military salaries, the general said there was a way, but he had not seen what method the general used, but he opened such a big hole! The Chinese New Year is sad. If this problem is not solved, even if I beat me to death, I would not agree with the general sending ten thousand people to go north!"

Tang Shaoyi is undoubtedly a steady party. His task is to manage Liangjiang. But now the business has not yet seen any signs, so he has to do this big move. No matter from which angle, even if Xu Yifan has made a big fuss, he will object!

Tang Shaoyi's attitude was so fierce that Zhan Tianyou was his old partner. Even though he was dull and innocent, he couldn't help but worry for Tang Shaoyi at this time. Xu Yifan looked at each other and smiled. Zhang Peilun was not humble. He coughed, flicked his robe and clothes, and got up.

"Shaochuan, the victim is so loyal, I am not as good as me! But did the Grand Marshal have no plans in advance? The recent financial support, after the Grand Marshal's consideration, Zhang helped to pick up the remains and make up for the missing items. There are two ways..."

"What method do you want to say is refreshing and quick! If you don't be the boss, you don't know that the food, rice, oil and salt are expensive. I'm almost gray-haired. If you miss the Grand Marshal's business, what you think is mine?"

Zhang Peilun's words aroused everyone's curiosity. Xu Yifan has really seemed to be able to do anything since he rose. He can dodge and rush over any kind of crisis. Now he has used all the financial resources of the Nanyang and Beiyang. What else can he do to raise another fund? If the money is guaranteed within one or two years, with Xu Yifan's reputation and talent, he can tell the number of winners and losses against the guys in the court!

Zhang Peilun also whetted everyone's appetite, and finally smiled: "There are two ways to raise funds. One is in front and the other is in the back. They are in line with the current situation and disturb the world in one fell swoop!

In the former, the court betrayed North Korea, and the general sent troops to all our Jinbao. This is a national war. The Qing Dynasty had the example of using troops to cooperate with the world. The general could naturally use it. Anhui and Jiangxi were under the rule of the general. The general had already left the letter. The remaining vassal treasurys were all sent to Jiangning. Other provinces only wait for the signing of the court's agreement. The general was launched with a thunder strike in southern Liaoning. The general's advice would be sent to the general's desk of the general's general! If the joint salary is not combined, they would just take a look! At that time, who could not see clearly what the luck was, there would always be some generals and would present a letter of title in front of the general in advance!”

One sentence shocked everyone's body, but his eyes were all turned to Xu Yifan. Everyone's eyes were cramped in Liangjiang's own territory - in fact, it was limited to Jiangsu Province. Xu Yifan was determined to take advantage of this situation and forced the governors of the world to take the side and choose the side! The name of the joint salary and national war is very upright. One is a successful example to follow, and the other is that this is really a letter of fame! The court wants to deal with Xu Yifan and win over their governors. The governors are not afraid of the court now, but Xu Yifan first uses the joint salary and stand a little bit, which is really a very operational thing!

The three words "Fa, Skill, and Strong" are not very good. Xu Yifan has not returned to the country for a long time, and the characters "Fa" are not very good. However, he uses the power and skills to help the momentum. However, he has used these last two words with skill!

Looking at everyone's eager eyes, Xu Yifan still had a mysterious smile on his face, but he was muttering in his heart: "I have traveled through time! People's hearts in this era are not yet mastered, so I have died seven or eight times..."

After a while, Tang Shaoyi said tremblingly: "This... what is the number of this co-payment? How many are you sure about? The court can't collect it. Are these governors willing to pay it to us?"

Zhang Peilun smiled: "Shaochuan, you have never been a local official in China, you don't know that it is winding here. The busy land taxes and land taxes are collected from the local area. Many provinces in the south also have the income from the deduction of grain, together with salt taxes and customs duties, these are to be transferred to the court. If we dare to cut them down here, other provinces may not be able to put them down like this. However, the Lijin one is a good opportunity for local governments to do their best. A province with Lijin is millions of rich people, and a poor person has more than one million. Take the Grand Marshal's rule in Liangjiang as an example. Check the aftermath account

In the past year, Jiangsu earned more than 6 million yuan in Lijin last year, and the actual court was only 400,000 yuan. Others were spent on various names in the aftermath. Who doesn’t know that the aftermath is the private account of the governors! The commander wants to cooperate with the funds. No matter which province, as long as he is willing to pay, he can spend a sum of money in the aftermath. The court is poor, you really can’t pay for it? If you don’t have money, who is willing to become an official? Now you spend some money, don’t you pay for it yourself. Once you have a good end, you will always have a good end. Who is the fool?

I have calculated with the Grand Marshal. It is estimated that most of the money is spent in Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Guangxi. These four provinces have a joint salary of four or five million. Originally, the two rivers were just a big deal! Jiangxi and Anhui, the vassal treasury should have two million. It is hard to say about the two lakes. I have asked a big man to write to him, but I still can't say it. As for Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou, let's take a look at these, and see if their governors are so smart! The northernmost one can only rely on Shandong, but the others cannot be counted. A rough calculation is that eight million can be guaranteed, and within half a year, you should be able to breathe a sigh of relief. At that time, the rich land of the two rivers could also provide a part of the support under the rule of Brother Shaochuan... The world is divided into high and low, and brothers can assert that it is within this year! What else can I say?"

Tang Shaoyi was sweating all over his head: "Take a risk, take a risk... What if the governors and governors don't agree to pay? The money is gone, what should we do then..."

Zhang Peilun shouted loudly: "Shaochuan! Those who do major events are unwilling to take the three-point risk, so why should we follow the Grand Marshal?"

A word immediately woke Tang Shaoyi up. He calmed down his mind and said with a smile: "Youqiao, what are you talking about...what is the second method? What is it?"

Zhang Peilun turned his head and bowed slightly to Xu Yifan: "The second method is the commander's opinion. Brothers cannot be greedy for this merit."

Xu Yifan kept listening silently as he was talking between Tang Shaoyi and Zhang Peilun. Because of the new history, everyone said anything, and he had no intention of suppressing it. To make it clear, if he said it thoroughly, his will to act naturally became unified. Every time he acted, he was so thunderous and lightning-like. How could he accomplish anything without his full efforts?

Hearing Zhang Peilun's words, he smiled and said, "The second way is to collect money when doing things... I will withstand the expansion of the Russians in Northeast Asia for Britain and France. How can they not give me some benefits? When the southern Liaoning is settled, I will negotiate with them. I don't care about the tariffs on Shanghai Customs, Jiang Customs, and Guangzhou Customs, I will ask them for the tariffs!"

This sentence made everyone even more stunned, and there was no room for interruption. The southern customs have an annual income of tens of millions. Can the British and French powers give it to Xu Yifan? Xu Yifan didn't explain after he said it, and he knew it. This action was not only to let the governors choose the side, but also to let the great powers choose the side!

At this time, Britain, the world's largest power, was striving to dismantle the factual alliance between Russia and Germany. Germany expanded in Europe, Russia expanded in the Far East and Central Asia, and both sides did not interfere. For the interests of the British Empire in the Far East, especially for fear that Russia would covet India through Central Asia, and Russia would also gain the unfreezing port he had dreamed of in the Far East. In order to turn Russia's attention back to Europe, to have conflicts of interest with Germany in Europe, and to let their factual alliance collapse. Britain was simply supporting a force that could curb Russia's expansion in Asia at all costs!

In Xu Yifan's time and space, Japan caught up with this bus and made a fortune by picking up the UK. From the industrial system to military construction, the UK has given Japan a lot of support and help! From the endless loans to the creation of a brand-new battle fleet of all-British battleships for Japan, Japan has actually become a forest of industrial and military powers.

In the current history that he has changed, he resolutely chose to show his strength in the Northeast, to completely drive Japan off the train! Is it the Qing court or Xu Yifan who has the determination and ability to curb Russia's expansion? They should think about it carefully! If they figure it out, they should invest some capital! Not to mention, this capital is originally China's own!

This time, he was in Liangjiang Xi before he was in a leisurely manner and then divided his troops north. It seemed reckless, but in fact he had thought about it carefully. If the Sino-Japanese War of 1894 is the beginning of changing the fate of this country, then this thunder strike is the decisive blow that changes the fate of this country!
To be continued...
