The Rise of Manjianghong

Chapter 149 Assembly

After only half of the words, Chen Moran took out a few pages of paper from the suitcase beside him.

"Twelve years!"

Holding those pages of paper in his hand, Chen Moran slowly spit out a few words.

"Twelve years ago, when Russia decided to build the Siberian Railway, the contradictions between Japan and Russia began to intensify. It is said that I have been uneasy about the construction of the Siberian Railway. This railway can not only communicate with the desolate hinterland of the Russian Empire and the more desolate border, but also be beneficial. In the future, the mobilization of the Russian team will change the strength comparison of the Far East, and make Japan's northeast and North Korea have no military advantage, so what Japan can see from the other end of the cold rails of the Siberian Railway is the fluffy shadow of Russia.

A book often tells people a lot of things. The old magazines in the car once brought an unimaginable wealth to Chen Moran. Similarly, some magazines tell him a lot about the history that he didn't know much about, and even tells him what to do like a guide light.

In one of those old magazines, there was a Russian war album. It was after An Kaidi participated in the rally that day that Chen Moran remembered what he had seen in the magazine. In the first few days of his home, he almost locked himself in his room and read the Russian war word by word. Compilation.

"At the start-up ceremony held in Vladivostok when he was the crown prince, Nicholas II was stabbed by the Japanese police at this time. This knife constantly reminded Nicholas II of his hatred and hostility to the Russian police, and directly affected Russia's policy when he became Empress Shah!"

Holding the map on the table with both hands, Chen Moran picked up the pencil and drew a line on the map.

"Europe has been the main battlefield of Russia's expansion for a hundred years. Due to the failure of the Crimean War and the rise of Germany, Russia's expansion in Europe and West Asia was frustrated, and the Tsar turned his eyes to the East. After successfully capturing Central Asia and the Heilongjiang and Ussuri River basins, Russia further wanted to occupy Northeast China and North Korea and the whole northern part of China. Through the intervention of the three countries to return to Liaoning, the construction of the Middle East Railway and the Siberian Railway, the establishment of the Russia-China Daosheng Bank, and the control of North Korea, Russia's power in the Far East reached its peak. Russia's Far East policy has a fierce conflict with Japan's mainland policy, and Russia's expansion of power has also caused strong unease in Britain. In the face of Russia's rapid expansion in the Far East, it was said that the political axe greatly expanded its military preparations and vowed to avenge the intervention of the three countries. At the same time, in the long-term principle of balanced diplomacy, the British political axe is also very uneasy about Russia's excessive sitting in the Far East. In February last year, after many trade-offs, Britain said that in order to curb Russia's expansion, the two countries signed the Anglo-Japanese Alliance Treaty last year!"

Pick up those sheets of paper again. On this paper, there are several analysis clauses of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance Agreement copied by Chen Moran from the book.

"The last article of the treaty stipulates that it is valid for 5 years, that is to say, by the end of January 1907, we should have done the Russo-Japanese War as soon as possible! I guess this war will start next year!"

New Yongjian and Lan Tianwei just returned to China from Japan. Naturally, they know that Chen Moran is not alarmist. In fact, in Japan, you can often see people making speeches or articles advocating that Russia will fight, and those Japanese also believe that Asian countries have been invaded by European and American powers and colonized one after another. The ground. Russia, which has a strong national power, began to extend its claws to China and the Korean Peninsula, and even Japan itself. With the expansion of Russia, it was already in a precarious situation, so it had to cut off Russia's bear paw in a hurry.

"Sir, do you mean to launch an uprising when Japan and Russia are unable to look east after the outbreak of the Russian War?"

New Yongjian frowned and asked. A few hours ago, he first mentioned that the Russians occupied the northeast, and then he mentioned that he must expand the restoration army as soon as possible and strive to launch an uprising next year. Now it seems that the reason is the Russian war that may break out.

"That's right!"

Chen Moran nodded his head, showing a little color in his eyes.

"Russia is ambitious for China. They all dream of realizing the dream of yellow Russia, and their continental dream has been for thousands of years."

Just as Lan Tianwei was about to say something, Chen Moran waved his hand.

"Don't say anything about the same kind of support for each other. It is said that my ambition for China is greater than that of Russia. Russia wants North China, but it is the whole of China. Russia is the enemy, and it is also the enemy! The so-called homologous is just a cover. The real goal is not to cultivate China into a modern country, but to realize the dream of the Greater Asiatic Empire, which is the main servant of China!"

Whether it is Lan Tianwei or New Yongjian, he has a certain good impression on the Japanese. Thinking of the "praise" and expectations of those articles published by international students in the newspaper, Chen Moran stared at the blue sky.

"And don't forget the Lushun Massacre!"

A few words only made the blue sky that wanted to say something dumb, and Chen Moran continued to say it.

"Never place your hopes on the so-called friendly countries. How many of those friendly countries are not the evil intentions! Just like the Russian war that will break out next year, it is almost a great shame for us. This is a dog-biting war on the land of China. The war has not only brought great disaster to the Chinese people, no matter who wins the war, it will be the prelude to their full-scale invasion of China.

Looking at the map on the table, Chen Moran seemed to see the wanton ** Chinese people in the war between Russia, destroying towns and villages, and slaughtering innocent people, but what can he do?

"For us, this is an opportunity. The Boer War has made Britain show his weakness. Britain may interfere in the fifth place, and the United States is unlikely to interfere. Only Russia will definitely send troops to intervene! The war between Russia can change everything. The countries that directly participate in the war are Russia, but Britain, Germany, and even the United States and France are all involved in it. Russia is trapped in the northeast battlefield and are unable to look south, and the same countries are also unable to intervene. This is a great opportunity!"

"Yes, if a war broke out between Russia, it is the best time to insurre up..."

Xiao Jian, who had been silent, stood up at this time.

"But you mentioned the Northeast before!"

He pointed to the map on the table, and Xiao Yu's eyes showed a little worry.

"We launched an uprising. The real enemy is the new army in various places, especially the self-improvement army and the new army in the six towns of Beiyang. As for the new army in the provinces, they are still in the process of training. The Xinchou Treaty is forbidden, so that although the new army in various places are trained, they have insufficient ordnance. But even so, how big is China?"

When asking this question, his eyes looked at Chen Moran.

"In the uprising, we not only need to send troops to the north, but also need to march to the west. It will take at least a year to fight all the way to Hubei, Guangdong, Shaanxi, Henan, Shandong and Zhili! In this year, anything can happen! If we hit Zhili, the Qing Dynasty suddenly moved out of the customs! With the support of Japan or Russia, they issued a declaration of exit to establish a new Qing Dynasty outside the customs. What should we do at that time? If you continue to fight, if you continue to fight, you may face the interference of Japan or Russia. If you don't fight, you will lose the northeast!"

Xiao Yuliang's concerns are also Chen Moran's concerns. The reason why he mentioned the Northeast is out of this aspect of worries. It is said that the Russian War is the best time, but this time carries risks, and the risks are exactly what Xiao Yuren's concerns. With a little carelessness, it is possible to create a Manchukuo.

"No matter who supports this Qing Dynasty at that time, in the end, it will cause a result. Either we will continue the Northern Expedition, or we will lose the Northeast. As I said before, the places outside the customs must not be lost, otherwise you and I will be national sinners!"

He frowned and looked at the three people in front of him.

"So, now the problem comes back to the problem at the beginning of our year. How can we ensure that there is no loss inside and outside the customs!"

With a slight bow, Chen Moran sat back in his seat and looked at the three people in front of him. He couldn't help but be a little disappointed. He was fed up with this cautious rebellion. Rebellion is a technical job. It agits agitation of people, drives a group of people, and threatens most of them. It seems to be a simple three-step song, but it is full of problems when implemented. At least I don't have a suitable staff to trust until now. Except for these people in front of you, can you trust outsiders? The rebellion is at the risk of killing the head. What's more, Chen Moran still wears shoes to rebel. Naturally, he needs to be extra careful.

"So, I need to go to the Northeast alone!"

And puzzled by the three people, Chen Moran continued to explain.

"Take a group of troops to the northeast to fight against Russia!"

"Anti-Russia?"

"Yes, only take a small group of troops, maybe only one regiment, to launch a guerrilla war in the northeast and establish a base!"

Staring at the three people in front of him, Chen Moran said in an unquestionable tone.

Guerrilla warfare is not new. All three of them are from military background. Naturally, they know that in the Napoleonic era, the Spanish guerrillas fought a heroic and hopeless battle to defend Spain, but they were very strange to the base.

"This is a northbound detachment that enters the northeast in the name of rejecting Russia. Russia has only 100,000 troops in the Far East, and it is scattered in millions of square kilometers of areas of China and Russia. Its strength seems to be strong, but it is only stationed in large and medium-sized cities. For many areas in the northeast, it is actually beyond its reach. The Guangfu Army's northward detachment It is to establish armed bases in areas with weak strength and complex terrain of the Russian army, as long as we take root there! There is power to exist!"

Pointing to the blank space in the middle of the northeast topographic map, Chen Moran continued.

"This is the Xing'an Mountains. The complex mountains and forests can provide good cover for the troops. The troops can fight on the forest like the beard of the northeast."

Then he pointed to the lower part of the Xing'an Mountains and continued to speak.

"This area is basically a control area of the Qingzheng axe. If the base is built here, you can get ammunition, medicine and even military pay and personnel supplements from the customs, and it is far away from the Russian military garrison..."

Chen Moran, who was standing by the map, looked at the Xing'an Mountains on the map and seemed to see the establishment of the base.

"It only takes one year to persist. When the war breaks out in Russia, the pressure can be solved. In this year, we only need to retreat with the enemy, the enemy to stay and disturb me, the enemy is tired and we fight, and the enemy retreats from the guerrilla warfare principle, then there is absolutely no problem to stick to it!"

When Chen Moran published his "guerilla warfare" theory, Xiao Yuren, New Yongjian and Lan Wei stared at the map, with their eyes scanning in all directions of the map from time to time.

"After the start of the Japanese-Russian War, when the main force of the Russian army is contained by the Japanese army, the northward detachment can attack from the Xing'an Mountains and recapture this area!"

His hand drew a circle on the map, and Chen Moran squeezed out a sneer on his face. When he sneered, his hand with a pencil drew another line on the map. This is the way he came up with to solve the problem after several days of careful consideration. This method is very simple and also quite risky.

"At that time, it can be said that the overall situation has been decided!"

"This is a very bold plan."

It's not just bold, it's just bold. This northbound detachment simply went to the northeast tiger's mouth to grab food, staring at the map with both eyes, but Xiao Yiren asked again.

"Yes, this plan needs a suitable commander!"

"Do you have any good candidates?"

When the waves on the sea came, Lin Yanxin felt the waves pushing him to the shore quickly and fiercely. Almost at the moment of the waves hit, he held his breath and raised the log soaked in the sea above his head with the command.

As a cadet of the third phase of Huangpu Sports School, he must complete basic infantry training before graduation. Only by completing these trainings can he be in the army like others and become an officer.

"Soldiers can do it, non-commissioned officers must do it, non-commissioned officers can do it, and officers should do it!"

"Hop it up!"

"Ah! 250..."

With a roar in his voice, at least 200 kilograms of garden trees were raised high again. The training on Hell Island is equal to everyone. Whether it is an officer or a soldier, Lin Yanxin did not enjoy any special treatment because he was an officer.

Just as they were training, a messenger ran over. After he said a few words to the training non-commissioned officer, the non-commissioned officer looked at Lin Yanxin, who was in training.

"Lin Yanxin!"

"Yes!"

When the sunset was swallowed up by the waves, the sunset reflected the sea red. That night, the wind swept across the sea and came coolly. Lin Yanren kicked the sand back and forth on the beach. In the afternoon, after the gentleman was looking for him to talk, he had been hesitating. What he hesitated was not to carry out that task, but whether he should let Yanxin be together. Go.

Lin Yanxin, who ran to the beach, stood upright and made a military salute at the same time.

"S sir!"

Lin Yanren replied and stared at the little brother who had become a little strange in front of him. He was the youngest of the five brothers in the Lin family, and he was also the favorite little brother of the whole family. Is it really appropriate to take him with him? Mr. Risk of this mission has made it very clear that he is on the front line of life and death!

"Lao Wu, there are no outsiders here! No need..."

"Report, sir, there are no relatives or friends in the army, please take care of yourself!"

Lin Yanxin's answer almost didn't make Lin Yanren bite his tongue. Is this his little brother? After seeing the smile in Yanxin's eyes, he took a step forward and hammered Lin Yanxin's chest.

"You guy!"

"Big brother! You're so heavy. I'm your own brother!"

He screamed in pain, and Lin Yanren rubbed his chest and said with a smile.

Brother!

The words of the fifth brother only stunned Lin Yanren. The five brothers of the Lin family were the first to join the Guangfu Association, and took over Yanyi, Yanli, Yanzhi and Yanxin. Yanyi and Yanli returned to the province to run a branch school, while Yanzhi and Yanxin entered the Guangfu Army. Yanzhi will definitely go. He is his own company commander, but Yan What about the letter? Do you want him to go too?

Mr. promised him to select the best officers and soldiers in the whole restoration army. The first thing he thought of was Lao Wu.

"I'm leaving the island!"

Lin Yanren whispered on the stone sitting on the beach.

"Brother, are you going to the mainland for a mission?"

"Yes! Take the troops together!"

"Take the troops, big brother!"

Lin Yanxin was shocked by the eldest brother's words and looked at the eldest brother with wide eyes.

"Brother, is the restoration army going to do something..."

Shaking his head, Lin Yanren turned his eyes to the sea.

"This time I'm not going out in the name of the restoration army!"

"That's it!" He took a strange look at the eldest brother, and then Lin Yanxin said.

"Is it a reconnaissance mission or a proofreading mission?"

"It's going to war!"

"Take me with you! Big brother!"

Lin Yanxin looked at the eldest brother carefully. From childhood to the eldest brother, the eldest brother took his four brothers to listen to the biography of the heroes of the Ming Dynasty, and also told them that they would also expel the tartars. Later, the eldest brother pulled them to Huangpu, but now the eldest brother is going to war, and naturally he can't leave him behind.

"If you go, our Lin family may be loyal!"

"The old man may be looking forward to that day!"

Lin Yanxin's words are not filial, but he is also telling the truth. The old man used to say that the Lin family has been loyal for generations. He has been ashamed to see his ancestors by shaving his beard and hair. If he is a Hu official, he will have no face to see his ancestors. Therefore, although the Lin family has studied for generations, he will never become an official. If he really knows that their brothers are the third is light. The Han people may really laugh.

"Think clearly, if you really go to the battlefield, there will be no brothers. If you don't follow the military order, I will be the first to kill you first!"

Lin Yanren said coldly.

"My head is hard in the back. I can't get a bullet. I want to die! You can only fight from the front!"

Lin Yanxin stood up and answered in a decent way.

"s sir! There is only military discipline in the army. I know that there is only military order in Yanxin's eyes!"

The blush of the sunset sprinkled on Lin Yanxin's young face. Lin Yanren looked at him a few times and finally sighed.

"Write a letter to the old man!"
