Chapter 153 Anzhou

The steady reform advocated by Jin Hongji, like the radical reform advocated by Jin Yujun, was strongly resisted by conservative forces. zhi. In fact, North Korea's conservative forces are fundamentally opposed to reform. Whether it is stable or radical, as long as it is reform, it will inevitably violate the vested interests of those in power. In closed and conservative North Korea, if you want to implement reform, it will not work at all.

Jin Hongji is extremely depressed. Jin Yujun's radical reform has failed and can also be sheltered by the Japanese. However, after the failure of Jin Hongji's steady reform, the Qing Dynasty, as the suzerain country, ignored it. In fact, the Qing Dynasty is as conservative and backward as the North Korean authorities! The North Korean authorities are unwilling to reform, relying on the backing of the Qing Dynasty, which is as conservative as him!

Jin Hongji was extremely disappointed with the Qing Dynasty.

In this way, when Shenwei Guangchen came to his door, Kim Hongji wavered. He began to doubt the rationality of maintaining a clan relationship with the Qing Dynasty, and then gave birth to the possibility of cooperating with the Japanese to open the road of North Korea's reform.

After the outbreak of the First Sino-Japanese War, the behavior of the Qing army in North Korea strengthened Kim Hongji's belief.

In the face of the modern Japanese army, the backward and conservative Qing army was repeatedly defeated. The Japanese army is highly modernized, which fully demonstrates Japan's amazing development in the Meiji Restoration. Kim Hongji suddenly realized that North Korea's continued to maintain clan relations with the Qing Dynasty was the biggest obstacle to North Korea's reform and prosperity! Because the conservative and backward Qing Dynasty will never allow North Korea to embark on the road of reform.

North Korea's reform is the denial of the Qing Dynasty!

Jin Hongji did not hesitate. Two days after the Japanese army captured the capital, under the operation of Shin-wei guang chen, Jin Hongji took over the leadership of Jin Bingshi, who opposed Japanese interference, and served as the leadership of the government. Jin Hongji came out of the mountain, which means that he is close to North Korea. The Japanese regime was officially formed.

Subsequently, under the leadership of Kim Hongji, Korea and North Korea began to implement internal affairs reform and set up a military-national air affairs office, and Kim Hongji became prime minister. Become the master of the Korean court.

Of course, the real ruler of the Korean court is the Japanese. Jin Hongji will soon taste the bitter fruit.

Politics is incredible, dear. Jin Yujun finally gave up his ideas and turned to the Qing Dynasty. However, Jin Hongji in the Qing Dynasty turned to Japan and became a complete relative. Japanese faction.

Anyway, Jin Hongji intends to cooperate well with the Japanese and use the power of the Japanese to complete his ideal of reform and prosperity.

Kim Hongji, the prime minister of the Korean Empire, went to Anzhou in person to cooperate with the Japanese army to complete the occupation of Anzhou. It can be seen that Shan County attaches great importance to Anzhou.

Jin Hongji has always been known as a "competent minister" and enjoys a certain prestige among the people. Jin Hongji came to Anzhou and soon stabilized the hearts of the people and restored the order of Anzhou.

At the same time, the Japanese gave more power to the North Koreans in Anzhou. Under normal circumstances, the Japanese army will set up a civil affairs office in the occupied area, which will be led by the Japanese military alone to manage the civil affairs of the occupied area. In Anzhou, Japan did not set up a civil affairs office, and all government affairs were taken care of by the North Korean governor of Anzhou. Of course, Japan has set up a police department in Anzhou, under which a squadron of Japanese troops are responsible for the security of Anzhou, but in fact they monitor the governor of Anzhou.

But in general, the Japanese did not directly interfere in the civil affairs of Anju, and the Anzhou people's attitude towards the Japanese tends to be moderate.

Anzhou is rich in products and the people are relatively rich. According to the Japanese plan, Jin Hongji settled the exiles in Anzhou, developed production, strengthened public security, and built a fortress. In just one month, Anzhou was orderly and abundant, and it truly became a bridgehead for the Japanese army's northward advance.

After completing his mission in Anzhou, Jin Hongji returned to the capital and handed over the administrative power of Anzhou to Lu Wenjun, the governor of Anzhou.

Lu Wenjun, a former military teacher of Dongxue, came to Anzhou with Jin Hongji.

In the battle of Hufeiling, Lu Wenjun completely exposed his identity as a Japanese spy, and the crime of killing the leader Cui Shiheng and the commander Park Zhengxiong was also exposed.

Lu Wenjun saw that the situation was not good, put oil on the soles of his feet and escaped from Hufeiling. Soon, he met Shenwei Guangchen under Hufeiling.

Lu Wenjun lost the whole Dongxuejiao, which made Shenwei Guangchen extremely angry. Originally, without Dongxuejiao, Lu Wenjun had no effect. However, Shenwei Guangchen still let Lu Wenjun go. After all, Lu Wenjun is very familiar with northern North Korea, and the Japanese army needs such a collaborator to advance north.

In this way, Lu Wenjun was assigned to the advance team and entered Anzhou with Jin Hongji.

Lu Wenjun is quite talented and has a good understanding of the local folk customs. During his stay in Anzhou, he helped Jin Hongji rectify order, build cities and build fortresses. He has made great achievements and won the appreciation of Jin Hongji. Lu Wenjun was also a person of Shenwei Guangchen, and the Japanese police department attached great importance to him. Therefore, both sides agreed to appoint Lu Wenjun as the governor of Anzhou.

In a word, in view of North Korea's special geographical landscape and poor traffic conditions, if the Japanese army wants to launch the battle of the Yalu River in winter, it must have a transit base between Pyongyang and Yizhou to provide logistical support and strategic support for the front. Anzhou was selected as such a strategic support point by the Japanese army.

Aokiyuan led a mixed brigade and braved the autumn rain. After two days of difficult journey, he finally arrived in Anzhou. He realized the importance of this strategic support point of Anzhou.

From Pyongyang to Anzhou, there were mountains and jungles all the way. The march of the troops consumed a lot. Half of the combat materials carried by the mixed brigade fell on the muddy mountain road, and the food carried by the troops was basically exhausted.

In Anzhou, the mixed brigade was not only recuperified, but also replenished food for a week. Of course, there is no weapons and ammunition depot in Anzhou now, and the mixed brigade has not been replenished. If the whole army of the first army goes to the Yalu River, it must set up a military station in Anzhou to maintain supplies. Otherwise, it is almost impossible to guarantee the combat needs of 20,000 troops from Pyongyang.

In order to ensure the safety of the Anzhou base, Aokiyuan left a squadron of Japanese troops to assist the Anzhou Garrison Command. The security situation in Anzhou is generally good, and the North Koreans seem to be accustomed to it and have not launched any hostile actions against the Japanese army.

It seems that it is correct to use North Koreans to govern North Koreans. The problem is that there are too few North Korean bureaucrats who are willing to cooperate with the Japanese and are talented. In other parts of North Korea, North Korean bureaucrats either claim that they can't get sick or escape into the mountains. The Japanese army has to set up a civil affairs office led by Japanese soldiers to manage local civil affairs, which often provokes the resistance of North Koreans.

Another violent curse brought Aokigen's thoughts back to reality from Anzhou City.

Leave the gentle countryside of Anzhou City, and the mixed brigade seems to have returned to the nightmare.

The soldiers trekked in the mud, and the blue and black military uniforms turned mud yellow.

And the mule horse with an iron boat was killed in the mud pit in the curse of the soldiers. Seven or eight extremely exhausted soldiers collapsed by the mud pit.

Aokigen hummed, jumped off the war horse, pointed to a collapsed military man and shouted, "You, get on the horse!"

"The brigade commander, this is your mount." The military man was extremely frightened, and he cursed the loudest just now.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Aokiyuan said, stepping on the mud and walking forward without looking back.

The military man did not get on the horse, but followed the horse's buttocks honestly. More than a dozen soldiers carried the iron boat and followed the muddy yellow team and walked forward.

Two days later, a high mountain appeared in front of the mixed brigade - the tire peak.
