At this point, even Song Qing and the others had nothing else to say. Besides, even if they dared to say something to calm down, the angry soldiers probably wouldn't listen, and they might even rush up and beat them. They have been with them for so many years.
The soldiers knew very well that the soldiers in this situation were very aggressive. In this way, Yang Feng successfully incited a mutiny, and then brought the landing ship with 10,000 people to prepare for Tianjin.
Waldzer said he didn't understand their behavior. He didn't understand why the Chinese emperor was encouraging them to continue attacking Japan a few days ago, but then changed his face and asked them to surrender to the Japanese army. He didn't understand why.
Why didn't these guys appeal through normal channels, but simply went back and armed themselves to demand an explanation? More importantly, what would the Germans do if they left?
"Count, this matter is very simple. Our emperor's imperial edict is true, but this order is also true, but it was not issued by him, but by the Empress Dowager Cixi. The mother and son wanted to use this matter to show their respect for the country.
Our army is just a pawn in their competition for the right to rule, but pawns also have dignity. Naturally we will not agree if they go too far.
As for the defense after we leave, you can rest assured that the Japanese army no longer has the ability to attack, and the troops I left behind are equipped with a large number of poison gas bombs. It is not a problem to kill all the 50,000 Japanese troops on the opposite side.
, if they do attack, you can use poison gas if necessary.
Besides, this matter can't be delayed for too long. I estimate that I can come back in half a month at most. There are almost no soldiers defending Beijing now. As long as we open the Daku Fort, we can easily march directly to Beijing. At that time
The court will give us a satisfactory answer." Yang Feng said.
He is naturally confident enough to dare to play this way. First of all, the Japanese devils will not get involved in this mess. He is still waiting to share Japan's compensation when the time comes. Naturally, he does not want to stop fighting before the results come out. This old guy
But he knew his own details and knew the consequences of confronting an empire worth hundreds of millions of pounds. Even a real empire would inevitably die, let alone a governor-general of Zhili.
Besides, there was nothing he could do to stop him, unless the Beiyang Navy was dispatched. However, if the slow speed of Calm was to face the destroyers and steam gas torpedoes at 36 knots, the result was not difficult to predict. What's more important is that
Their new artillery shells have basically been used up by this time, and their combat effectiveness has dropped for an era. Li Hongzhang is absolutely unwilling to let his sweethearts take such a thankless risk. If the fleet is used up, he will become Cixi's easy to rub.
The dough is ready.
The only remaining one was the Daku Fort. Luo Rongguang refused to give way and smoked it with poison gas. Of course, he couldn't use mustard gas. It was enough to smoke it with tear gas. Besides, he was also a member of the Huai Army, and Li Er's Japanese would not let him really resist.
, as for the garrison in Beijing, Yang Feng simply ignored it, but he still had to inform this old guy. If he didn't want to get involved in this matter, then he should find a way to hide.
Just like this, the huge predator fleet sailed away from Tokyo Bay. Ito Hirobumi finally breathed a sigh of relief as soon as they left. In his opinion, this was because Yang Feng could not withstand domestic pressure and chose to withdraw. Of course, he did not expect the other party to surrender. Think about it.
You know how stupid you have to be to do it. As long as Yang Feng withdraws his troops, the Germans will be easy to solve. Without the Germans, Russia will be left alone. If you add some conditions, for example, give them the Elto Island.
Basically it was sent away.
Although it is still unavoidable to cede territory and pay compensation, at least the calamity of Japan's subjugation has been avoided, and the rest can only slowly heal the trauma. Since the Meiji Restoration, the achievements of more than 20 years can be said to have been destroyed in one day, but as long as the country still has
There will always be a day of recovery, it's just a matter of pretending to be a grandson for a few more years. The Yamato nation is no better than others, and its ability to pretend to be a grandson is world-class.
This guy couldn't wait to come to negotiate again, but Waldzer refused to negotiate for the time being. Ito Hirobumi still understood this very well. It was certain that Germany and Russia had not reached an agreement after Yang Feng left. It was just a matter of waiting a few more days, but
However, the defense of the north must be strengthened. He ordered the troops stationed in Hokkaido to be formally organized into the 7th Division. The 7th Division that was originally temporarily formed in Tokyo was almost exhausted, and the rest joined the Third Division as supplementary troops.
A main division.
The similarly temporarily formed Eighth Division was also disbanded and its supplementary troops were divided into the 1st, 5th, and 6th Divisions, and the Hirosaki Division was formed in Aomori with this designation, so that the 7th and 8th Divisions could be used to deal with possible Russian attacks.
Landing, although these two divisions were hastily formed, with extremely poor equipment and even few cannons, there is still no problem in blocking the Russians. Besides, we have already reached this stage. Anyway, we just try our best. If it doesn't work, we will do our best.
Even if human lives are piled on top, the Russian wolf will definitely not be allowed to enter Japan's soil.
After learning that Yang Feng had withdrawn his troops, Gang Yi quickly told Shanxian Youpeng the good news. Although it was a withdrawal rather than a surrender, the Shanxian general was still very satisfied. Since this issue has been resolved, the negotiations between the two parties will naturally continue.
It was carried out, but what shocked Gangyi was that the Japanese raised the price.
"Three hundred million taels of silver, not a penny less," a friend from Shan County said cautiously.
"But what you promised before was 180 million taels!" Gangyi said in disbelief.
"I changed my mind." Shanxian shrugged and said, "I only calculated military expenditures before, but I did not include the losses caused by your army's destruction to our economy, as well as the compensation for the victims and their compensation.
Compensation made by Qiangjie.”
"General Shanxian, this number is too high, we can't possibly agree to it," he said resolutely and weakly.
"I'll give you a week to think about it. If you haven't agreed to our conditions after one week, then I will continue to blow up your emperor's tomb." Shan County Youpeng said with a smile. He now found that playing with these Qing officials was a very annoying thing.
Happy things.
In fact, 300 million taels is still not enough. Half of the 20 million pound compensation to the Germans has to be removed. The rest may not even be enough to make up for the domestic losses. Although Yang Feng did not steal much, the damage caused by his destruction
The losses were ten times that of his looting, especially Osaka and Tokyo, which were basically completely destroyed. The heavy industry that the reform had managed to build over the years was burned to ashes.
In this case, there is no more national debt payment in the UK. The money must be repaid. No one dares to rely on the British money. Even Emperor Meiji had to pay back the old lady Victoria with her flesh. Fortunately, that happened
It will take a few years to expire, so we can slow it down a bit and see if the Qing emperor agrees happily with the 300 million, he might as well add another 100 million.
Cixi was shocked by Shan County's new asking price, but speaking of it, she was somewhat mentally prepared for it. The kidnappers had hostages in their hands, so they would naturally have to ask for it. Although 300 million is indeed a bit difficult to accept, but if it is not possible,
She had no choice but to agree to them. When she thought of this, she became angry with Yang Feng.
"Where is that little monkey now?" she asked Li Lianying sinisterly.
"Let me tell you, Old Buddha, according to time, they should evacuate to Taiwan at this time." Li Lianying said hurriedly.
"I drafted a decree for Bian Baoquan and asked him to lead troops to Taiwan. Yang Feng was arrested as soon as he arrived and sent to the capital with weapons. Xue Fucheng was also dismissed from his post. The two of them really thought that Taiwan was their world.
Even the admirals sent by the imperial court dare to drive back." Cixi said fiercely.
After she dismissed Yang Feng, she immediately appointed a new governor. As a result, after arriving in Taiwan, she was tied up and thrown on a fishing boat and sent back to Fuzhou. Although it was said that Yang Feng's soldiers did it, as a governor
Xue Fucheng did not stop him.
"By the way, what is Li Hongzhang doing now?" After dealing with Yang Feng, she suddenly thought of Li Hongzhang. The old man's behavior during this period also made her very annoyed. Although it was difficult to remove him from his post, she could find an excuse to beat him.
It is still necessary, otherwise it will really hurt your nose and face.
"It is said that Li Zhongtang is ill. He took a boat to Shanghai yesterday. It is said that a new foreign medical clinic has opened there. The medical skills are quite good, but they are not visiting. Li Lianying said hurriedly.
"Sick? Is he scared?" Cixi said with a sneer.
Li Ergui was really frightened. He never expected that Yang Feng would dare to carry out a mutiny, and would directly land in Tianjin and invade Beijing. However, since this guy has Guangxu's behind-the-scenes support, how will this matter end?
It's hard to predict. Anyway, except for the Dagu Fort, there is nothing in Tianjin that can stop this guy. If he really uses poison gas, then the Dagu Fort will be absolutely useless.
As for the garrison troops around Beijing, such as the Fengtai Camp and the Xishan Jianrui Camp, they were treated as a joke in front of Yang Feng. These people were elites who fought on the battlefield with the Japanese army in a sea of blood and corpses.
Those Eight Banners soldiers who were pulled out probably wouldn't be able to stop their charge. No matter how strong the Beijing city wall was, it would just collapse if a ton of explosives were piled on it like Yang Feng did in Nagoya.
The more Li Erjie plotted, the more he discovered that Yang Feng had a high success rate. If Guangxu in the city was more courageous, it is really unclear whether Cixi could escape this disaster, unless he dispatched the Beiyang navy to intercept at sea, but
In that case, not only would I lose tens of millions of taels of income, but I would also have to board more than half a warship, eight high-speed destroyers and one armored clipper, plus those terrible steam gas torpedoes. The Beiyang Navy is really not that big.
Hope of winning.
In this case, the best way was to hide and watch the excitement, so after receiving Yang Feng's telegram, he took a boat directly to Shanghai that night on the pretext of medical treatment. (To be continued...)
