Chapter 170 North and South Mind

No one slept peacefully this night. Except for a few people in Tokyo and the Japanese army fleet on the Yellow Sea, there was also a group of people who could not sleep peacefully on the island of Hout Mountain in Shanghai.

"I believe it will start today!"

After removing the cigar from his mouth, he looked at Jiang Fangzhen, Cai E, Xiao Yiren and others in a hazy smoke. Chen Moran said in an extremely positive tone.

The reason why it is so certain is that the whole system sent a telegram through the office of things in Russia, which mentioned that the envoy of the embassy in Russia, Li Ye, announced the severance of diplomatic relations between the two countries in St. Petersburg. The embassy and diplomatic personnel were evacuated from Russia and moved to Stockholm, Sweden. Mo.

This telegram convinced him that history has not changed because of his appearance, and all this is clearly written in the Russian war album in the magazine.

"Today is February 8th. The Japanese army will definitely sneak up on Lushun, just like they secretly attacked the Beiyang Marine Division in those years, and they fought again without declaration!"

When talking, Chen Moran especially aggravated the "sneak attack" and "again". In history, the so-called "war that determines the national fortune" was all by sneak attack. The first two times he won the bets, and the second time he lost his trousers, but after losing his trousers, the world's impermanence made him change his clothes.

After saying this, Chen Moran was silent again. He didn't say anything. He just inhaled cigars one after another, and then spit out a large puff of smoke. When his whole face was hidden in the smoke, he couldn't help giving people an unpredictable and unfathomable feeling.

While sucking the cigar hard, Chen Moran raised his right hand again and looked at the watch on his wrist. He frowned and wanted to ask something, but hesitated for a while, but did not open his mouth.

Chen Moran's appearance is in the hearts of everyone, and they are also anxiously waiting for the result.

It was supposed to sneak up on the Russian army today. It doesn't sound very likely, but it's ten percent to study carefully. It is said that this attack was not made by the Qing Dynasty, and a powerful country like Russia, just like the First Sino-Japanese War ten years ago, now they also need to rely on sneak attacks to lay a chance to win.

There are more than a dozen people standing in the battle map room, most of whom smoke like Chen Moran. The map room is surrounded by smoke, which more or less makes Cai E, who does not smoke, frown. In order to avoid the choking smoke, he has been standing by the door. At this time, when he saw a figure standing by the door coming here, he saw that When he held a piece of paper in his hand, he frowned and couldn't help but move.

Is it possible... As soon as the communication officer with the telegram in his hand entered the combat map room, he walked to Chen Moran and delivered the telegram after a military salute.

"Commander, emergency call of the second detective department:"

"Nian!"

The happy Chen Moran's voice seemed a little excited.

"In the middle of the night of February 8th of the Western calendar, it is suspected that the navy attacked Lushun, and the Russian army is suspected of destroying three warships. Further information will be ready to be..."

Before the communication officer finished speaking, Chen Moran squeezed out a little smile in his serious expression. Looking at the surprised or incredible people, he raised his feet and walked towards the map table.

"Okay, now the big thing has been decided!"

Walking to the map table, Chen Moran spoke while holding the map table with both hands and staring at the map of southern China on the table. This map should be a detailed topographic map of Nanzhong [***].

"Now, I have done it myself, and we are ready to do it now!"

With a twist, Chen Moran looked at Jiang Baili, who was the Chief of Staff of the Guangfu Army for his new task.

"Bai Li, introduce your plan!"

Jiang Fangzhen took two steps forward and went to the map table to settle down. He took a look at Chen Moran first, and then opened his mouth to explain his plan. When he began to explain, everyone gathered around the map table. While Jiang Fangzhen was talking, the three trainees who had just graduated from Huangpu kept inserting blue, yellow and red tricolors in some positions. Slowly, with his explanation, Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan and Jiangxi Hundreds of blue, yellow and red flags were inserted. In his explanation, whether it was the officers around the map table or the three trainee staff officers, they all looked a little excited.

In the long four hours, Jiang Fangzhen kept explaining the steps of the uprising to everyone. Occasionally, Xiao Yuren, who was beside him, would explain it. After all, he was the real makeover of this plan, and Jiang Fangzhen only made appropriate modifications to it.

The whole process of the uprising was originally formulated by Xiao Yuren. When he was in the Sivenia Military Academy, he studied under Albertwin? Major Swift learned a set of war decision-making system from Germany but highly finely drawn. In the eyes of Jiang Fangzhen and others, this long and detailed "war game" seemed to have opened a door. The war decision invented by the Prussians was introduced into the Prussian army as early as the early 19th century, but In the system of the unintroduced Zhande [***] team, Jiang Fangzhen and Cai E failed to learn this kind of Prussian "war decision" from the Japanese army.

Draw sketches and explanations of the operation one by one, which are placed in front of everyone after the initial explanation. The sketches are more detailed than the operation deployment map. From the deployment and control of the troops, the boundary green of the combat units, the formation, the front line of the war zone, the attack departure line, the forward axis, the assembly area, the battle position, the scope of the battle, and the purpose. The uprising, which was scratched to numb people's tongue, was explained from Jiang Fangzhen's mouth through hundreds of maps and thousands of photos, while everyone listened carefully.

Listening to Jiang Fangzhen's story of the blue sky, although the cigarette butt caught between the fingers burned the skin between the fingers, the blue sky still seemed to have no feeling, but because of the burning pain, he gently opened his fingers there, and the cigarette butts fell on the floor. Looking at the flag on that side, he seemed to see the moment when the nation remembered the recovery.

"Chief of Staff Jiang"

Blue Sky Wei interrupted.

"According to the current plan and launching an uprising in eight provinces at the same time, the strength of the restoration army is still insufficient! I'm afraid that the scattered troops will be easily defeated by the Qing army. It's better to..."

"Colose Colonel Lan, for more than a year, the second investigation department has been in contact with the provincial governors and parties. The number of people in the Honghan club mastered by the second investigation department has reached more than 300,000 people, all over the provincial party organizations and green camps in the provinces of Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, Hubei, Jiangxi, Hunan, Sichuan, Guangdong and Guizhou, as well as the new army. These forces You can rely on it!"

Zhang Jing said this, but he couldn't help showing some pride on his face. Although he was not the leader of the Honghan Association, in the process of establishing the Honghan Association, he took a lot of effort, almost completely referring to the original Tang Changcai's self-reliance meeting method, in order to facilitate the contact of local parties and greens. The battalion and new officers and soldiers, according to the method of self-reliance association, use the traditional method of building mountain halls and invoice distribution in secret associations to establish rich mountain halls in the association, with leading leaders, deputy leaders, inner eight halls, outer eight halls and other names. The system is huge. The party leaders of many provinces are listed among them, and Zhang Renkui, the leader of the Honghan Association, is also listed as deputy. Leader, now Zhang Renkui is the largest "leader" boss in South China. Of course, this is only the party.

"The meeting party is not reliable!"

Cai E poured cold water on Zhang Jing.

"In those years, the self-supporting army relied on the party organization, and its combat effectiveness was far inferior to that of the green battalions, and it could not be compared with the new army, and the discipline was lax. When it was mixed in the Guangfu army, it was only afraid that the mixing of fish and dragons would affect the Guangfu plan. As for those leaders of the party were all speculators, they just hoped to get an official and half of the position in the future through the uprising. Reverse, it will break up without attacking!"

Cai E, who participated in the uprising of the self-supporting army, naturally knew that he knew something about the provincial capitals along the river, and naturally understood that they were not reliable.

"You don't have to make their reading into an army! I don't have that plan either!"

Chen Moran said, interrupting Cai E's words.

"Huangpu Military Academy has been running for two years, and four students have come out. The fifth phase is about to graduate. More than 1,600 students have been sent to Jiang, Anhui, Zhejiang, Hubei, Jiangxi, Hunan, Sichuan, Guangdong, Guizhou, Lu, Henan, Yunnan, Shaanxi and Jin to run Huangpu Branch. By the beginning of the year, there were as many as 96 branches, and the branches graduated and studied in the school. There are nearly 30,000 members. At the beginning of the uprising, except for the restoration army as the main force to occupy the provincial capital and the Huangpu student army in various places to occupy the hell, we can take advantage of the party as the situation. As soon as the matter is settled, in the name of reorganizing the Guangfu army, the student army and the restoration army will transfer some officers and soldiers to reorganize the party and the party..."

From the day he thought of the day he let Zhang Renkui return to the world with the help of those party forces, Chen Moran began to think about how to change the party into use. Thanks to those "revolutionary film and television dramas" of later generations, he easily found an answer, disrupting and mixed with sand. The disciples of the party were far less than the army of those warlords. Since They can use the method of officers mixed with sand and soldiers to achieve the purpose of reorganizing the armed forces of local warlords, and they can also use this method to turn the party into troops.

"The first division can't move!"

At this time, Xiao Yuren said something aside, and he looked at Chen Moran.

"The establishment of the restoration army can be disrupted. We only have two divisions. Even after the uprising, the police in Pudong, Ma'anshan, Huainan and the railway were reorganized into the third division. The enemy we need to face has a self-improvement army in Hubei and a new army in two towns in the north. If the army is disrupted, it is bound to cause a war of troops. If the fighting power declines, it is necessary to at least ensure the integrity of a division, so that we can take the benefits of the water transportation of the Yangtze River, take the Beijing-Han and Huainan Railways as the axis, and reject the Northern Army in the Southern Province, so as to train the troops calmly."

"Thirty thousand, thirty thousand, sixty thousand, three hundred thousand!"

After a while of meditation, Chen Moran nodded and agreed with Xiao Yuren's opinion.

"There is no problem at all. At that time, with the addition of new recruits, it can basically eliminate the influence of the party in the army!"

After wiping his tired face, Chen Moran pondered for a while.

"Pay attention to the screening of party members in the army, especially their generation! You can refer to it when it is disrupted in the future!"

For those party members, in Chen Moran's eyes, it has always been just a momentary use. Those party members pay attention to what generation. I don't know how many disciples and grandchildren there are. Strict rules and formal etiquette. In the army mixed with these people, it is not a good phenomenon! The purer the army, the better!

When thinking about the purity of the army, Chen Moran even took a special look at Lan Tianwei, Wan Tingxian and others in the room. They were inclined to the revolutionary party in some aspects. Fortunately, the thoughts of the revolutionary party did not have a deep impact on them, but the deepest impact on them was the restoration of the nation.

The cunning rabbit is cooking. This sentence is true. The party is only for a momentary use, far from relying on it. The party has the use of meeting the party, but the restoration of the nation still depends on the restoration of the army. Thinking about those party members, Chen Moran looked at Zhang Jing again. The power of the second detective class seems to be a little big, but now it's like a party party. Everything is waiting for the future!

"Xiuhao!"

Turning his head and looking at Lan Tianwei, Chen Moran smiled. This Lan Jihao has always had reservations about himself.

"You have a great responsibility! Whether the uprising can be completed depends on whether you can do it or not!"

Lan Tianwei's surname was very deep. After listening to Chen Moran's words, he saw that everyone's eyes turned to him, and he felt the heaviness of his shoulders, and even said it for a long time.

"Please rest assured, Commander and comrades, Tianwei will live up to this heavy responsibility!"

No one slept on the beach on the beach of the Hushan Mountain this night, and there were also people who were awakened by sleep in the capital. From the military plane to the Yangxin Hall, it was only a short distance away. When Yiqi rushed to the door of the Yangxin Hall, she was already snow-white. When Li Lianying saw him coming in, she greeted Qian'er with a smile on her face, and was busy brushing the snow on Yiqi's body. He said with a smile.

"Good, my master! The slave was about to pass the order. It was snowing heavily, and the old Buddha said that there was no need to come in. Now that I have come, I will repay my master..."

"Excheer, General Manager Li!"

Although after Rong Lu's death, Yi Qian entered the military affairs department as the foreman of the military affairs department, and also managed the affairs of the financial department and the training department, which can be said to be a combination of internal and external power, he was respectful to Li Lianying as usual.

After a while, Li Lianying ran back and said.

"Prince Qing, call in! The old Buddha is in..."

Yi Qian only nodded a little and was busy following in. He took off the big chang on Danqi and handed it to Wang Xin, and listened to Cixi's voice inside:

"Is it Yi? Come in!"

"Yes!"

Yi Qian hurriedly answered loudly. A eunuch had already picked up a thick and heavy cotton curtain. He stepped in step, calmed down slightly in front of the outer palace, stepped into the pavilion, and kowtowed to the ground.

"I deserve to die, disturbing the old Buddha's rest. It's really a sin to die... Give my best to the Buddha!"

After saying that, Yi Qian looked up and saw the old Buddha sitting there. The table in front of him was full of memorials, and there were cinnabar inkstones next to him. Everyone inside and outside the palace know that although the Empress Dowager is over the age of age, she is still surprisingly good. She listens to politics, reads memorials, and is busy. It seems that she is rarely tired.

"If you have anything urgent to say!"

Although she was disturbed in the early morning, Cixi, who had woken up in the morning, did not blame Yiqi for this. Listening to Yiqi's self-reproach, she was quite useful in her heart. After wandering in the officialdom for several generations, Yiqi naturally knew how to please the old Buddha.

"Told the Buddha!"

While talking, Yi Qi squeezed out some crying and kowtowed again.

"In the morning, I said that my envoy Yasuya Uchida... Today, I know that I had declared war on Russia last night, and I said that I and Russia fought in Manchuria! ...You can't think of it as a person, you can establish a country... The land of the ancestors is peaceful, the capital is peaceful, and the sacred tombs are safe..."

He kowtowed his head and cried like a loyal minister, as if he was really saddened by the troops of Manchuria again.

Listening to Yi Qian's words, Cixi just gently said "Oh", but her heart could not calm down for a long time. As early as the 7th of October last year, she had already informed that there was no future for the Russian negotiations and the preparation of Japan. Moreover, in the past few months, the great powers have been advising them to remain neutral in the upcoming Russo-Russian War.

"Russia's victory is bound to be annexed. It is said that victory is nothing more than seeking remuneration. If the two harms are similar, it will be taken lightly. Instead of being afraid of Russia, how can you get it... With the help of the generals and schools of the army, you can fight with the Russians..."

Before Yi Qian finished speaking, Cixi said softly.

"Today's storage is empty. How can you cook without rice? How can you fight! In addition to the deep pain, we should be cautious about the war. Now it is said that the two countries of Russia have lost peace and used troops, and the imperial court thought that they are friendly to each other, and should be handled according to the example of external neutrality.

Cixi, who was scared by the Eight-Nation Alliance as early as the Gengzi period, would not agree with Yiqi's bold opinion. She had already had a plan in her heart, that is, to follow the meaning of various countries to be neutral.

And Yiqi originally meant to pretend, not to mention that this was not his original intention. The reason why he said this was just for the test of the empress dowager's thoughts.

The calm Cixi did not find that she had fallen into the trap inadvertently, but Yi was proud in her heart. Now she finally figured out the mind of the Empress Dowager. Russia has been strong in the northeast for four years, and the general people hate it to the bone, and so do the officials. They say that like the volunteer army, although it may be restored to the light. There will be some connection, but after the investigation, it is still allowed in private.

Now that I am in a dilemma, I am naturally welcomed by the people and officials. Although no one believes that I have no selfishness in this war, it is undeniable that this move will win some favors from the sky. Considering that China is unable to fight against Russia alone, neutrality is not the best policy, so "rejection of Russia" was naturally mentioned.

However, the governor of the north was cautious about this. In particular, Yuan Shikai, the governor of Zhili, called the Ministry of Foreign Affairs twice to advocate neutrality, which made it difficult to implement the idea of "rejecting Russia". What's more, Yuan Shikai also asked about Yiqi in private, and Yiqi naturally did not want to mix the pool of water.

"Well, we should know that the territory of the three provinces of each country, regardless of the victory or defeat of the two countries, it should belong to the sovereignty of the Qing Dynasty, and neither country shall be encroached on."

Calm Cixi added another sentence.

"Old Buddha's knowledge is not what his ministers can compare. Whether Russia wins or loses, as long as they promise Manchuria or our Qing Dynasty for war, the great powers will support it again. When the future war comes, Manchuria will not come back! It's still the experience of the old Buddha,"

Yi Qian kowtowed and knelt there to praise the old Buddha, but he thought in his heart how much silver Yuan Shikai would send him if he heard the news this time. Then he remembered another thing, but looking at the old Buddha's face, he still stopped talking. There was no need not to be for the clawed 100,000 taels of silver for the clawed man!
