Chapter 186 It's time to leave!

"The Beiyang sailors were all sunk by the Russians!"

"The Russians also occupied the mouth of Lushun."

"It's more, I heard that there was news from the palace that the Russians had hit Changchun. Maybe Zhili could not be saved this time. I heard that the emperor even smashed his favorite teacup and said that he would fight with the Russians to the end this time. I heard that he also sent people to Mongolia to ask the Mongolian princes to send a large army to help. "

"It's no wonder I've been seeing some people running to the Russian mansion recently. Did I go to the letter to protest?"

"Resist a fart, a fart! When did you get the news? I've heard that the old Buddha has asked Prince Gong to come forward and find the British to mediate peace talks!"

"Another peace talks?! Grandma, our Qing Dynasty has become a foreigner running a racecourse!"

"Oh, this world is really messy."

"Yes, it's day by day. It really angered the Russians. The warship leaned on Tianjin Weiyi, and it was a lot of fun."

In the teahouse, the depressing conversation was endless. No matter which table, almost all of them were talking about the Russian invasion. Listening to these comments, Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao looked at each other and frowned.

The news in the teahouse is not new to the two of them. The news of the Russian invasion has been like a thunderbolt, which not only shocked the hearts of the whole Yanjing City, but also in Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places, with the exchange of telegrams, there are calls to go north to fight against Russia.

Li Hongzhang, who strongly recommended cooperation with Russia at the beginning, had been removed from office on the spot. If it hadn't been for his old age and the support of the empress dowager Buddha, and he had been conscientious for the country for many years, he would have been imprisoned long ago.

Emperor Guangxu even summoned the ministers to seek a solution, and ordered Zhili Shandong to immediately send more troops to the sky under the unified command of Song Qing. He also sent Li Hongzao, the military minister, to Mongolia to negotiate with those princes to send troops. In addition, he appointed Yuan Shikai as the admiral of the new army and went to Tianjin to form a new army. Beiyang, while training the new army, it should also be responsible for stationing Tianjin to prevent Russian warships from attacking there.

In addition to summoning ministers to seek solutions, Emperor Guangxu also ordered Prince Gong to visit the ministers of various countries in the Qing Dynasty on his behalf, hoping that they could come forward to immediately stop the Russians, but the news was extremely disappointing and strange!

France, Austria and Italy all said that they would not intervene in mediation for the time being. Although the United States was willing, it demanded to pay 100 million taels of silver as a mediation fee! The Germans asked for Jiaozhou Bay as mediation compensation!

What's more strange is that British Ambassador Ogner did not receive it for the time being on the grounds that he was about to return to China, and there was a saying that there was no need to worry too much!

Don't worry? What's the reason?!

These foreign powers!

One or two screamers in Ping said that there was no sound at the critical moment, which was really disappointing!

Compared with the chaotic court, the two were also frustrated. The hard-won strong society, which was finally founded, was shut down overnight. These empresses did not want to fight against Russia, but repeatedly attacked the reform doctrine. It was really disappointing!

There was a lot of whispers in the messy teahouse, and suddenly a rapid shout broke the depression. Brother, something happened." Everyone looked out one after another. A young man rushed into the teahouse with an anxious face. After a glance, he immediately ran to the table of Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao and continued to shout, "Brother, something happened. The Russians have declared war on Hawaii!"

Russia declares war on Hawaii?

Kang Youwei looked at his approaching brother and looked surprised. Liang Qichao next to him was also confused. The Russians didn't just declare war on the Japanese Qing Dynasty. How could they go to Hawaii to declare war again? Are the Russians confused? Hawaii is ten thousand miles away from the Qing Dynasty. Is it a declaration of war? Can you reach it?

Seeing that his brother and Liang Qichao were confused, Kang Guangren quickly explained, "I heard that the night before yesterday, after the Russians attacked Lushun, Hawaii declared war on the grounds of undermining the stability of the Far East. Today, the Russian ambassador officially declared war after receiving a reply from the country."

"And, I've heard about it." Kang Guangren grabbed the teacup on the table and took a sip. He continued, "The British ambassador has officially expressed its support for Hawaii to help stabilize the situation in the Far East."

"What!"

After listening to this, Kang Liang suddenly stood up. When did Hawaii and the British come together?! However, while they were stunned, their eyes also lit up. The Hawaiian Pacific Fleet is now prestigious. If it is really a declaration of war, then the Russian sailors will probably be overwhelmed. If the court can make up its mind to start a war at this time, it is waiting to recover the northeast!

Just as the two were excited, a voice suddenly came from outside the teahouse: "It's not good, it's a big deal, the Russians hit Fengtian City!"

The two news that arrived before and after immediately made the whole teahouse explode. In the corner, Feng Qi lowered the brim slightly, looked at the back of Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao's hurried departure, and smiled.

He appreciates these two very much and does not oppose the reform. They are all hot-blooded people, but perhaps they are used to the young master's down-to-earth style. These people who promote the reform can only give him a feeling of playing with his mouth. There is no soldier, no power, no power, and relying on the mouth to renew the reform. It's not easy!

"As for Russia, hehe, the biggest trouble for Casini now is not to declare war, but how to contact Lushun's fleet!" Feng Qi lowered her hat again and quietly walked out of the teahouse under the escort of several bodyguards.

Feng Qi's guess is right. Kasini is really going crazy!

Yanjing to Lushun, Yantai to Lushun, Weihai to Lushun, and even the telegraph lines to North Korea can't be connected overnight, as if the Liaodong Peninsula and North Korea, which are not far from Yanjing City, have quietly disappeared on the map!

"Bang!" Kasini patted the table fiercely and roared at the military officer, "Within a telegram, won't you find a way to send a ship to deliver the letter in person? If you go to sea from Tianjin and Weihai, you don't need a day to get there!"

"I tell you, if you haven't handed over the declaration of war to the fleet tomorrow morning, I will shoot you myself!" In the face of the furious Casini, the military officer was so scared that he sweated, trembled and nodded vigorously: "Your Excellency, don't worry, I'll arrange it now."

Let's arrange it now!

ka xi ni's face was darker. It had been two days since he got the declaration of war, but the telegram could not be sent. Now he remembered to arrange for a boat ride. If the Pacific took this opportunity to sneak attack, the Imperial Far East Fleet would be finished!

Although he wanted to pull out the gun and kill the guy in front of him immediately, Casini still resisted and waved his hand helplessly. Now he only hopes that Witheft will not humiliate the dignity of the Slavs!

The military officer quickly exited the room, wiped his sweat, touched the heaven powder pills in his pocket, the 20,000-pound check in the envelope and the boat ticket to the United States, and breathed a sigh of relief.

In two days, I finally got it--

Witthev stood on the Golden Mountain Fort angrily, looking at the vast sea under the afterglow, and his face was full of excitement! The three-day clearance battle is finally over. The afterglow in front of the Qing Dynasty is slowly setting. After the sun rises tomorrow, it will enter the Russian era!

Excited, it's so exciting!

His Majesty the Tsar's longing Far East Unfrozen Port, finally surrendered to the cannon of his own fleet and lost the Qing Kingdom of Beiyang Marine Division. In front of him, he was like an oriental woman who was stripped of her clothes by him last night and cried gently under her, and he could be at his mercy!

The Qing Dynasty had no means to stop itself, and according to the previous Kashini telegram, the British retreated in front of their huge fleet and did not agree to the mediation requirements of the Qing Zheng Axe. As for Germany and France, even if they intervened, it was impossible for the two families who lacked troops to come up with any substantive means.

On the contrary, the damn Pacific Fleet actually rescued the two remnants of Beiyang, and still has a torpedo ship in the sea off Lushun, but it doesn't matter. The two remnants of Beiyang have been unable to set off the wind and waves, and the small torpedo ship sent by the Pacific Fleet, in front of the muzzle of its main ship, root It's just a joke.

Now in the Yellow Sea of the Far East, only the powerful Imperial Far East Fleet can run rampant, and even the British Far East Fleet has chosen to retreat!

The only shortcoming is that in the continuous shelling of three days, the ammunition consumption was a little large. The original idea of replenishment on the spot was also extinguished by the explosion of the Beiyang Navy's ammunition depot, but it doesn't matter. The transport fleet was all sent back to Vladivostok by him as early as the landing of the soldiers. It is estimated that it has also set out. It can be delivered continuously.

Now that Dagu Mountain has also been occupied, the remaining whip soldiers have long been afraid and can't threaten themselves! When the second batch of reinforcements arrive, and wait for the Cossack cavalry to open the road from Fengtian to Liaodong Peninsula, then the whole three northeastern provinces will become the new hunting ground of His Majesty the Tsar! With the assistance of the fleet, even if the Qing Dynasty sends another 100,000 troops, it can't stop the empire from occupying the northeast!

With the northeast, we can use it as a base to continue to attack North Korea. It can also threaten the capital of the Qing Dynasty, look forward to the richer Jiaodong Peninsula, and gain a greater right to speak in the Far East. Even Britain can't compare.

As long as the time is ripe, when the Siberian railway is opened, the whole northeast and even the whole Qing Dynasty will become the prey of the empire. A powerful empire across Eurasia and covering the whole east is slowly forming!

And I will also be recorded in history because of this action! Witkhft has even seen the glorious moment when he became the most eye-catching aristocrat in Russia and the first person in the navy.

But just then, a running voice suddenly interrupted his dream.

"Your Excellency Commander! Urgent news."

Withoff was a little annoyed. The damn guy didn't have any eyesight. He turned around and looked at the second lieutenant who came to report out of breath and asked angrily, "What's the matter?"

"Sir, Major Willikov is back. He reported that yesterday afternoon, he was shelled by a Japanese cruiser fleet off the coast of Yuanshan Port. When he left, those Japanese cruisers were shelling Yuanshan Port!"

"This fleet!" Wittheft frowned, but he didn't expect the small Japanese fleet to appear at this time! Don't these yellow-skinned dwarfs understand? The empire has gained an absolute advantage. If you don't bombard their mainland, you will be polite and come to attack Yuanshan Port? They are dying!

"In addition, we have just received a telegram from Vladivostok from North Korea. His Excellency Governor Alexayev asked you to bring the fleet back immediately. He said that this morning, the Japanese fleet suddenly shelled Vladivostok. At present, he is leading the left-behind warships to resist desperately. The situation is very urgent!"

"What!"

Withoff almost fell down the Golden Mountain. Damn it, what are these guys doing? I said I shelled Vladivostok? God, where did you leave a second-class battleship, a light cruiser escort, a coastal defense ship and several torpedo ships? Are they all drunk? I will be beaten by a few small cruisers left to ask for assistance!

"Cossack, Dragic stayed to support the army, and the rest of the warships were ready to leave immediately."

With little consideration, Witkhft shouted for a quick step down the Golden Mountain fort, because he knew that if something really happened in Vladivostok, the second transport fleet could not come out at all. You should know that there were not only 5,000 second aids, but also loaded with the ammunition urgently needed by the fleet! Without the shells and materials stored there, even if he has a thousand skills, he can't defend Lushun!

We must return immediately and resupply ammunition for the fleet! Otherwise, if something happens, the fleet can't even hold on to a small-scale naval battle! Thinking of this, Witkhft's pace was even more rapid, not to mention that it was time to teach those yellow-skinned dwarfs a lesson. If they were allowed to sneak up like this, the route would be in danger!

Unfortunately, he didn't know that the telegram was not sent through Vladivostok, but Shen Jun used the telephone line from Vladivostok to North Korea to send fake messages on the way.

As for the original Vladivostok telegraph station, it had already been extinguished under the shells of the Pacific Fleet, and even the telephone line was cut off by the special service team. After being blown up in the harbor, not to mention repaired, even the necessary tools could not be found.

As for the distant twin cities and the distant Berulia telegraph station, they can't send any information at all, because the Russians were too lazy when setting up the Far East telegraph network. They did not provide separate lines for the two places at all. They had to pass through Vladivostok and then forward them, so after the loss of Vladivostok, the information of the Russian Far East was handed over. The flow is all interrupted.

The reason why Long Guozhang did this was to make the Russians have the illusion that the fleet had threatened Vladivostok, forcing the Russian Far East Fleet to return immediately.

Vladivostok was attacked! Yuanshan was attacked! The Lushun ammunition depot was bombed, and there was no way to replenish it on the spot! A series of actions finally made Witheft react wrongly.

At one o'clock in the morning, Witkhft quietly left Lushun with thirteen warships, including four first-class battleships and four second-class battleships, together with the seriously injured Admiral Nasimov, to help Vladivostok.

He didn't know that his fleet had just left, and a radio wave had quietly cut through the sky and quickly flew south through a warship traveling in the sea--

On the Ryukyu wharf at night, there was already a lot of people. Ten huge cargo ships lined up, and countless soldiers of the Pacific Army were ready to go on the gangway with guns on their backs.

At the same time, Aimei Island was already ready. Seventeen cargo ships sent up to 15,000 army and marine soldiers, which was the first time in the Pacific Army, so even Zhao Long and Chen Ping were a little worried.

In particular, I don't know whether the fleet's plan to lure the enemy is successful. If not, the fleet will still have to return after arriving at the sea. Let's not talk about the consumption and time back and forth. In case of wind and waves and bad weather, it will be a huge disaster!

Even Tang Shaoyi, who saw this scene for the first time, was both excited and nervous.

Suddenly, a car that had only been seen in the past few days quickly passed by the soldiers queuing to board the ship. Before the car could stop, Tang Shaoyi saw the staff officer jump out of the car and handed a piece of paper to the Chief of Staff of the Pacific Army, and then smiled and waved his arms.

Sues of snowy searchlights suddenly opened and extended along the dock to the whole waterway. A loud whistle sounded, and the leading transport ship began to slowly close the anchor chain.

It's time to leave!
