Chapter 327 Is there a war in the southwest?

"Peace! Is this called Taiping?

Not to mention Chen Ping, who was killed by a head, even followed behind him. Now Du Dazhuang, the battalion commander of the Royal Guards, who works part-time in the meat shield, also stumbled and spilled half of the coffee.

First of all, in China, Changgeng of Shaanxi and Gansu in the northwest saw that Shanxi could not get through, so he supported his soldiers and became the local emperor. He didn't know how he persuaded the leaders of all ethnic groups to save the ethnic minority cavalry in the northwest army.

Mongolia, which has long been brave in the north, does not know what to pay attention to, while Russia in the north is silently continuing its strength. The Siberian railway has been half built, and the whole line can be connected in three years at most. Finally, the southern provinces wore a pair of trousers under a southeast mutual protection, and Britain, the United States and France passed The sale of arms and the forced occupation of leased land made a mess on the southeast coast.

Bandits are also rampant in the Central Plains. Even the ten battalions of the second internal affairs division have been dispatched in advance to cooperate with the army to suppress bandits to ensure the safety of all places. Even Yan Fu has proposed to take advantage of a large number of surrendered Qing troops to form two internal affairs divisions again to speed up the progress.

Abroad, the war between the United States and Cuba is still deadlocked, but the United States has no way out and continues to fight. Today's Cuba is like a Japanese version. As long as you don't move away from this big stone, the United States can't focus all its attention on South America and the Pacific Ocean. The guerrilla tactics brought by Sun Jiugong. Now the experiment is in full swing there, and even the staff will learn experience through the continuous flow of information research.

Recently, there has been an outbreak of the Anglo-Bol conflict. The Boers supported by Germany and the Netherlands have been extremely dissatisfied with the British ambitions. It is only a matter of time before the war begins, and the struggle for colonies in Africa is about to intensify.

Germany's naval bill has also aroused strong dissatisfaction from Britain. The battle for the Atlantic has quietly begun, and even North Korea around it has reached the most critical moment. After more than half a year of adjustment, the insurgents led by Jin Kainan have reached less than 30 kilometers north of Seoul and the southern provinces. One after another, the Li Dynasty might end its rule in the next minute.

In such a chaotic international and domestic situation, Master Li actually said that it was peaceful!

Chen Ping was speechless. He looked at Master Li stupidly. He didn't know whether to cry or laugh. No wonder the great powers said that he was a spoiler and a war maniac. He was really panicked without fighting for a day.

"In what you said, the overall situation in North Korea has been decided?" After such a long time, it is the first time that Li Mo has refocused on North Korea. This peninsula country sandwiched between great powers has been a tragic figure like three splints from ancient times to the present. Geopolitics makes him have to attach to major countries. Before that, when it became powerful, it became the prey of Japan, and in later generations, the United States became half of their masters. The big cake face is really changing rapidly.

But.

Since you are back, future generations will definitely be changed. As for North Korea, you'd better stay in your arms obediently. If you have nothing to do, sell some resources in exchange for some food or something. As for the name of the Republic of Korea, don't hang up disgusting!

Seeing that Li Mo looked at the location of the map to North Korea and didn't say anything, Chen Ping immediately suggested, "Your Majesty, this is a good opportunity. The two battalions of the Fourth Division and the Third Regiment are still stationed in Incheon."

Li Mo turned his head and saw the sharp light in Chen Ping's eyes. The garrison of the two battalions, even when the north needed troops most, did not transfer, just to wait for a timely response when the Korean war was clear. Now it seems that it's time!

"Order to take over Seoul immediately, and at the same time tell the king of Korea that we can mediate the war, ensure the safety of him and the royal family, and provide the opportunity for political asylum. As for the cost?" Master Li held his chin and showed a anniper's expression, which made Du Dazhuang, who came back in with coffee, swing again.

"The Joseon Dynasty has also ruled for many years, right?"

"According to the Western calendar, the Lee Dynasty of Korea was founded after the overthrow of Goguryeo in 1394, and it has a history of more than 500 years." As soon as Chen Ping finished speaking, he was afraid that Li Mo would not know the situation in North Korea, so he added, "Your Majesty, although the Joseon Dynasty has lasted for hundreds of years, North Korea has been in a remote place, and its treasury has been exhausted over the years. I'm afraid there is not much money left."

"Idiot." Li Mo stared at his chief of staff of the three armies: "Why did you get into the eyes of money like Li Enfu? Am I the kind of greedy person?

"No, of course you are not, Your Majesty." Chen Ping quickly waved his hand, but his expression was not right. Obviously, it was that Master Li was wrong, but Li Mo didn't bother to pay attention to him and immediately said, "North Korea has ruled for more than 500 years. It doesn't matter if there is no money or food. What matters is the treasures of the Korean royal palace!"

"Baby?!" Chen Ping's eyes suddenly lit up.

The king of Korea has ruled Korea for more than 500 years, and there must be a lot of people's fat. Although there is not much gold and silver left, there must be some antique treasures. Moreover, after I rushed into the palace last time, I quickly withdrew because of Russian interference. The damage to the palace is not very big, so it should still be a little expensive. .

Seeing Chen Ping understand, Master Li coughed dryly: "Cough, go and talk to the king of Korea that recently I have suddenly become infatuated with Korean history and want to borrow some antique vases and other research."

"Infatuated with the history of North Korea." Du Dazhuang was also dumbfounded. He had seen those who took advantage of the fire to rob, but he had also seen those who had made up such elegant reasons for looting. Will the king of North Korea be angry directly after hearing this?

Master Li doesn't care whether the king of Korea will be angry or not. How many national treasures were left abroad in the late Qing Dynasty? Although my arrival saved the last breath of vitality in the late Qing Dynasty, the Yuanmingyuan was burned in the previous Opium War and the First Eight-Nation Alliance. What a loss!

Thinking about the most precious national treasure in future generations, Chinese people want to see the most precious national treasure, and they also need to cross the sea to go to other people's museums, which is simply the biggest shame! Now, it's time for others to taste this taste. One day, the young master will bring back all those national treasures. Not only that, but also move the treasures of other countries to the Forbidden City and build the world's largest royal museum!

For this great dream, North Korea will be the first to sacrifice!

Chen Ping was speechless. He admired Master Li's ability to shave the ground three feet. He laughed and said, "Young master, what should I do with Jin Kainan?"

"What should I do? Cold salad!" Master Li snorted: "After a while, you go to Mr. Li and say that I think North Korea is also very pitiful. I guess he will not be able to make up the gold standard of gold. Ask him to send someone to discuss with Jin Kainan, squeeze out dozens of tons of gold to help them issue banknotes, and try to stabilize the country as soon as possible, but this gold must be in our hands. Li, wait until they earn enough money that day to deliver.

Chen Ping has nothing to say. Master Li was ready to play this when dealing with the Japanese book before. Unfortunately, the intervention of the British, American and the Three Kingdoms failed to complete the work, but he got a certain amount of shares. Now, North Korea is the screw in its own hand at this moment. In the past few years, even foreigners are unwilling to come, because they all know that Li Mo has already regarded North Korea as a ban. At this moment, this financial support plan seems to be beautiful, but in fact, because gold must be mortgaged, North Korea has only got it. A pile of flower paper with numbers printed on it.

And according to the tempers of Li Enfu and Liang Dunyan, they will definitely be accompanied by all kinds of harsh conditions. Anyway, this golden North Korea will not want to get it for a lifetime, but it will be controlled by finance!

It is certain that Jin Kainan will be extremely violent, but he can't refuse. As the front line of the Jiawu, he is also at the center of the competition between Japan and the Qing Dynasty. In addition to the internal consumption of the past two years, North Korea has already exhausted the last trace of vitality. With their strength, not to mention the construction of a new country, I'm afraid that even the food is not enough.

So I can only watch that when the victory is about to arrive, the most precious fruit was taken away by others. Finally, I had to sign a financial aid agreement and watch the country's lifeline be mastered by others.

This is a weak country. In fact, in that era, there are many small countries with such tragedies. Maybe they are attached to big countries, which is better than self-improvement.

"Da Zhuang, haven't you always wanted to go out for a walk? Take part of the guard camp and set off for North Korea immediately, remember!" Li Mo's eyes suddenly narrowed: "Don't drop anything!"

"Yes!" Du Dazhuang answered loudly and passionately.

Chen Ping also can't laugh or cry. It should be said that the matter in North Korea is just a splash, which can't set off any storm at all. The strong offensive posture during this period has made the great powers give up all the interests of the north. At this moment, their attention is focused on the south, and they will not care about North Korea at all. For us, the most important thing is to protect the last base and interests in China.

Perhaps at this moment, Britain, the United States and other countries are regretting why they didn't kill Xinhua earlier, but now it's too late to say anything. Unless they are really determined to fight a large-scale war, they can only watch Xinhua rise little by little.

Although Li Mo wants to go south immediately, there is no doubt that this will touch the final bottom line of the great powers. Now the two major events of the new land law and financial reform have not been completely completed, and the bloody north is still unstable, so even if the issue of foreigners is not considered, neither the General Staff nor the Prime Minister's Office is in favor of fighting a big war at this time. I would rather fight for the erosion of the south for a period of time, but I would rather consolidate the north first.

At present, the only place that can attack is Shaanxi, Gansu and the whole northwest, and perhaps Mongolia. But the problem is that out of Shanxi is the vast northwest, where there are few people and the ethnic groups are complex. Since ancient times, the war there has been purely logistics and consumption, so in the eight railway plans of the Prime Minister's Office, it crosses Shanxi. The two are the most critical to go straight to Shaanxi and finally arrive in Qinghai, and to the Tangnu Wulianghai from Zhangjiakou through Mongolia. Even if there is still a large section that does not belong to the control area and cannot start construction immediately, the military still takes the initiative to force the forced requisition of 100,000 days of labor on Shikoku Island and cooperates with the Prime Minister's Office to give priority to the construction of these two railways. Set up.

However, we can't wait for the railway in the war, because even if we go all out, we can't complete the railway in two or three years. Therefore, the military does not want to fight in the northwest, but because the Shanxi road is really difficult to travel, so it is constantly transferring materials to the junction of Shanxi and Gansu. In addition, priority should be given to the implementation of the new policy, so this wave of offensive must be waited.

What made Master Li most resentful was that because he strongly occupied Luzon, after the navy fought several consecutive naval battles, the originally chaotic places in the Southern Ocean suddenly became calm. They dared not say that the Chinese were guests wherever they went. At least the great powers began to strictly control the natives in the colonies, the previous The deliberate creation of contradictions and conflicts, and the indiscriminate killing of Chinese people seems to have disappeared. Even if there is, it is a small scale, which is not enough excuse to start a war.

If you don't make trouble, why does the young master use any excuse to continue to encircle the land?! Is it that the world's fourth navy patrols all day long?

It's too wasteful. Isn't it forcing the young master to make a unique move!

Li Mo finally looked at the world map and suddenly asked, " By the way, Yuanshou, what do you think of Sun Jiugong?"

Sun Jiugong? Although he didn't know why Li Mo suddenly asked him, Chen Ping immediately said, "The foundation is not solid, but after the experience in Cuba, he is much calmer, good at strange soldiers, and has a good way in cavalry and long-distance battles. He has now kneaded all the scattered civil groups in Taiwan and formed a security regiment of 5,000 people, according to Tan Xiaozeng. Last time, the combat effectiveness was not bad.

"So, it's a talent."

Chen Ping has always rarely praised people, but the two people he like have now become the pillars of the navy and army. First, there is Ji Rushan, and then Zhang Zuolin. They are all good talents. If it hadn't been for the prophet to make cards, Li Mo would not be as good as him.

So after hearing him praise Sun Jiugong, Li Mo was also relieved and said with a smile, "Then transfer him back. In addition, I am going to hand over the cavalry division to him, establish the Northwest United War Zone, hand over the second and fourth divisions to him, and let him take over the position of commander of the war zone.

As soon as he heard that the Northwest Theater was going to be established, Chen Ping knew that Li Mo had made up his mind to fight in the northwest. He immediately said, "The northwest is remote and the sky is far away. It is a good place for him to play. However, although Gao Dingru has not made great achievements as a cavalry division commander, it is indispensable to lead the team with good hard work. Just transfer him away, right? Is it?"

"It's okay. When you become a soldier, you must have a conscious and obedient arrangement, and the 7th Infantry Division has been formed in Ryukyu. It just needs a competent general. Let him go."

"That's all right. The division commander and the division commander are at the same level, and he also knows that he is not the material for cavalry. He has mentioned it to me many times."

"Well, let's do it." Li Mo finally made a firm stand: "Let Sun Jiugong be the commander of the First Cavalry Division and the commander of the Northwest Theater Command. Gao Dingru was transferred to the commander of the 7th Infantry Division. In addition, the General Staff immediately planned a telegram to let Huang Fuqi, the commander of the Third Division in Luzon, temporarily replace the commander of the Southwest Theater, and the newly formed Third Airship Brigade of the Air Force was also transferred to Luzon to standby."

"Southwest Theater."

Chen Ping, who was just about to nod, heard the last sentence and his eyes suddenly straightened. According to the principle of the war zone system, he had to fight to set up a war zone commander. But now Mrs. Luzon of Nanyang Pingping, why did she suddenly set up a war zone commander?

Is there a war in the southwest? ......
