This debate between newspapers was finally changed by an article published in a Hong Kong newspaper. This article did not have any fancy writing, in-depth analysis, or any dazzling data.
, in fact, this article only has one sentence, which takes up the entire page.
"Why can the vulnerable Manchus continue to rule the Han people with a population of 40 million?"
This sentence instantly silenced everyone.
"Rebellion, really going to rebel, dare to say such treasonous words, spread the will of the Ai family, seal the newspaper office, arrest its chief writer, especially find this person named Mu Yunfeng and punish his nine tribes." In Beijing.
Cixi was furious when the newspaper was delivered to her. Speaking of which, this old woman was not one of those dim-witted old women in ignorant novels. In fact, she was a woman who could make great changes in the treacherous political arena and control the country for decades just by relying on her brains.
, until death, no one dared to challenge his authority, and even survived the desperate situation such as the Gengzi Revolution, he was enough to be called a politician-level figure.
Of course, if she doesn’t know how to govern the country, that’s another matter. Do politicians necessarily know how to govern the country?
Politicians only need to be able to safeguard the interests of their own group. As for the country, it can be sold for the interests of their own group. From this point of view, Cixi can be said to be a rare outstanding politician in modern times. If not
She was so skilled that the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty died early for who knows how many years. Since Ping Changmao, the strength of the Han warlords has been enough to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty. However, this old woman used various methods to pinpoint and break through the conflicts.
Even the heroes of the generation such as Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, and Li Hongzhang were defeated by her one by one, which is enough to prove her ability.
Of course, these people themselves have enough weaknesses, but being able to find out the weaknesses of their opponents and take advantage of them is exactly the skill of a political master. Think about how many battlefield warriors these people have. In the end, they were all eliminated by her either in name or for profit.
In the end, Liu Mingchuan, who was as cunning as Liu Mingchuan, chose to hide in her hometown after seizing the military power in her hands. It would be a joke to say that these people really have any loyalty at all. How many long-haired people and even those from the Nian Army were manipulated by her.
With her mind, she could easily see at a glance that the intentions of this article or this sentence were more sinister than those anti-Qing slogans. This was the real purpose to be punished. If she had just shouted some slogans, Cixi would have been treated as a murderer at most.
It’s a joke. Everyone knows that it is played by fools. But this sentence is directly aimed at the ambitions of those Han generals who hold military power. Noisy national justice will not really make these people tempted, but ambition is
Things can easily catch fire.
However, her wish to seal down the newspaper office, arrest people and kill the Nine Tribes is difficult to realize. Hong Kong is not her territory, and the British will not sell her face. Besides, even if the Governor of Hong Kong wants to, he does not have the guts. Tomorrow's Daily is not who
It can be provoked. Didn’t you see that the great god behind it is currently causing chaos in the entire East Asia?
Boss Yang asked the Chinese people a question worth pondering, and then put the matter behind him. Because he suddenly realized that there was no point in staying in Tokyo all the time. The city had now been looted.
Even during this period of time, the soldiers who were idle and bored began to dig deep into the houses of some wealthy people. Although there was a lot of harvest, for him, it was better than nothing at best. Japan is a good place.
There are still a lot of them, so if I don’t try to harm them one by one, they will always leave people with a sense of unfinished business.
"Count, we must change our strategy. First of all, it is enough to keep the garrison in the Tokyo area at 30,000 people. With the protection of the fleet at sea, they will not be able to get out of our hands no matter how they play. Everyone is piled here.
It’s wasteful. It’s better to separate five thousand people and take landing ships to attack their coastal cities. This can also increase the military pressure on them and force them to agree to our conditions as soon as possible.” Yang Feng said to Waldzer seriously.
Waldzer still doesn't understand what he means. This guy just thinks that there is nothing left to grab in Tokyo, so he wants to change places to make a fortune. This is of course possible. To be honest, the current strength of the coalition forces, let alone the 60,000 Japanese troops,
Even 100,000 Japanese troops can't even hope to break into the Tokyo defensive perimeter. It's a waste to have them all piled up here. Fighting to support war is the best strategy.
Of course, this army that went out to make a fortune couldn't just be composed of Yang Feng's people. In the end, the two agreed to each contribute half. However, six landing ships were a bit too much. After all, their transportation tasks were still very heavy. Four of them would be enough.
It's enough. With Tokyo as the base, there is no need to sail long distances, and there is no need to consider the endurance of the soldiers. It is easy to cram two thousand people into a ship. For something like a landing ship, the standard displacement of two thousand tons means a full displacement.
Four thousand tons is no problem.
And now the Japanese navy can be said to be gone. The remaining few warships were seized by the British. This was the result of Ding Ruchang's negotiation. In addition, it was also the British who wanted to silence the Germans. After all, you came here under the banner of mediation.
We have nothing to say, but if you only want to intercept the Beiyang Navy, but let the combined fleet roam free, this is a bit unreasonable.
So Ito Hyungsoo and his remaining four battleships, three gunboats, and two wooden cruisers were all sealed in Incheon Port by the Far East Fleet. In this way, Yang Feng no longer had to consider the threat of the Japanese navy no matter where he grabbed.
Yes, but you still have to be careful with the coastal defense fortress.
This problem is easy to solve. Just avoid cities protected by coastal forts. Before the Sino-Japanese War of 1898, due to financial constraints, the Japanese only built forts in some of the most important places. In most places, there were only one or two small forts.
For Yang Feng, this can basically be ignored.
Because the destroyers of the Predator Fleet were all out to perform blockade missions, the Predator fleet was escorted by the Predator and three German cruisers, a Russian cruiser, and an American cruiser.
This guy's next target is Nagoya. At this time, Ise Bay is almost undefended for him, and basically all the Japanese combatants in this area have been transferred to Tokyo. This is a good opportunity for him to show off his skills.
, the five-thousand-strong coalition rushed towards Ise Bay with great momentum. Just as he used a ton of explosives to demolish the Nagoya castle tower and then looted the ancient castle, Yamagata Aritomo's troops also began to attack Liaoyang.
.
However, his opponent also changed at this time, because Iketang'a was blocking a Japanese brigade attacking from the north in Motian Ridge, and it is said that the fight was pretty good. After all, the Qing army was considered to be battle-hardened at this time.
, even if they were defeated, they would lose their experience. In addition, Motian Ridge was basically a place where one man could not open it, so the Qing army could barely hold the line of defense when they faced the Japanese army for the first time.
It has been fighting for a month now, and it is said that more than a hundred enemies have been wiped out. Of course, this is the actual number. In the battle report released by Cixi, the Japanese troops in the brigade opposite them had died almost twice by this time.
He defeated the Japanese army at Motianling, so at this time, Shanxian Youpeng's opponent was replaced by Wu Dacheng, the governor of Hunan who invited Ying to fight, and commanded the Hunan Army veterans Wei Guangtao and Li Guangjiu, with about 10,000 troops, plus Shengjing General Commander Shunbu
There are about five thousand people. They don't have an advantage in terms of strength, but they have sufficient momentum.
"I was ordered to command more than 50 battalions of the Hunan Army. They have been training for three months. Now I will lead the troops from Shanhaiguan to march eastward. In the middle of February or two, I will definitely have a decisive battle with the Japanese barracks. This minister is particular about guns and artillery, and he has always been accurate.
In the 15th and 1960s, the soldiers who trained for bravery all used fine guns and fast artillery as the front line. They had a majestic formation and an upright flag. They could advance but not retreat. They could win but not defeat. The children of the Hunan Army worked hard with loyalty and righteousness. Total ***
For the purpose of uniting Japan, we have been fighting for a long time, and our teachers have grown old and worked hard. How can we become a new force?
However, this minister is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, practices the virtue of loyalty, and has never been interested in killing people. I remember that all the Japanese subjects, each of whom has parents and wives, are willing to bear the fire of my guns and cannons with their flesh and blood. Forced by the general's order, he traveled far away.
Over the ocean, violent pregnancy, in this ice and snow, hunger and cold are unavoidable, life and death are between breaths, no rest, just waiting, parents grieve without knowing it, wives cry without hearing, victory is a success for the general, defeat is a disaster for the army, fight hard
Thousands of people's lives may be saved by Hakatashima Keisuke's happiness. Today's wise doctor in Japan may not necessarily use military force to defeat the enemy.
In order to save the lives of the peoples of the two countries, I must speak openly and sincerely and tell you clearly: When the two armies are fighting, the Japanese soldiers have no way to escape.
Under the sign of kneeling down, I will send benevolent and honest personnel to take you into the camp. You will be given two meals a day. You will be treated the same as the Chinese people. You will not be sent to do hard labor. Once the situation is calm, I will send you a ship to send you back to the country. This minister is here.
Notice, the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth have learned from it, and we will never break our words and harm our moral integrity.
If you are confused and do not realize it, resist the enemy with all your strength, and try out the best soldiers and weapons to fight with me three times, it will not be difficult to determine the victory or defeat immediately. When the soldier fights three times in the three norths, I have my own method of seven vertical and seven captures.
Please learn from the past, don’t regret it, special warning.” A friend from Shan County couldn’t help but be shocked after reading this magnificent article written by the famous epigrapher Wu Dacheng to himself, and then he couldn’t help laughing wildly, holding his stomach and laughing.
, then he waved the saber in his hand and shouted: "Fire!"
After his death, he received from the Qing army (the word "receive" is used mainly because the process cannot be described as capture) thirty Krupp 75-row battalion guns, twenty Gruson 57-row cannons, and more
Including hundreds of mortars produced by the Hanyang Arsenal and the original 70-year-old bronze cannons, there were more than two hundred cannons of various calibers spraying flames at the Liaoyang City in front at the same time, and the Japanese artillery was piled up around them.
received artillery shells from the Qing army.
The flames of the explosion instantly flooded the small county town. (To be continued...)
