Chapter 256 Speculation

Ren and Yang saw Zhao Guanhou nodding in agreement, and they were overjoyed. If this team could not find a reliable force to accommodate him, they would probably disband. Zhao Guanhou had money and food, and had some connection with the front army. Recruiting with such a person is the best destination.

Zhao Guanhou brought out hundreds of stones of food from Jason, first solving the problem of the soldiers' food, and then resettlement. It was extremely unreliable to attack Tianjin or harass the rear of the coalition forces. In just a few days, the coalition forces had taken down Tongzhou and completely cleared the road to Beijing. Next, the offense and defense of the capital were attacked.

Because the capital is tall and thick, and there are large troops stationed in the city, the coalition forces did not dare to underestimate it and did not rush to attack. Instead, they began to build a simple railway along the way to facilitate the transport of troops and supplies, and at the same time waited for reinforcements from the rear to arrive.

The subsequent coalition troops landed in Tianjin. The forces of the troops entered China were close to 40,000. Two thousand hungry soldiers harassed the rear of the 40,000 army. It won’t take long to get the entire army out. The only proper placement is to transfer them to other places for reorganization and training, and use them as supplementary troops.

Although the front army of the Wuwei Army is not as elite as the Right Army, its combat effectiveness ranks second in the entire Wuwei Army system. It is familiar with foreign guns and cannons, and the troops also have certain combat effectiveness. If they are good at rectifying them, their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. This time, they went to Beijing to serve the king, and many troops were drawn from the cannon bid. I wonder how many people will be able to return to their hometown in the future. With the supplement of the Huai Army, they can ensure that the energy of the cannon bid will not be damaged.

Jason was very powerful and hired several merchant ships to transport all these soldiers and officers to Dezhou by water in the name of shipping materials. He was connected to the station from Sun Meiyao Wharf and turned the entire army into his own use. Zhao Guanhou borrowed the telegram line from the concession and sent a report to Shandong.

Although the telephone poles were greatly damaged by the Flying Tiger Group, there were sea lines to connect and telegrams from Shandong could be communicated. The two powers were densely connected, and the atmosphere was very mysterious.

Jiang Fengzhi's leg injury has healed a lot. She is straightforward, unlike Cuiyu and Yuqing who are scheming. In addition, the two of them have a relationship that is beyond ordinary friends, so she cannot enter that circle. She is even more bored after seeing Mrs. Janeson's foreign identity is. Although she will not remember her father's death on the other party, it is certain that she will not like her after meeting her. This will cause her to be isolated.

In addition, she and Zhao Guanhou only had a verbal agreement with each other, and did not really hold a ceremony and did not sleep together. They always felt that they were apart from those people. The two sisters who could accompany her were the red lights, and Zhao Guanhou.

Seeing that he was either busy with the government office or the telegraph room every day, Jiang Fengzhi was a little puzzled and couldn't help asking: "What are you busy with? Even if you report news to Shandong every day, you can still let the people below do it. Why do you have to run by yourself? You can't even see your own figure all day, and you'll be so bored that you'll be suffocated."

"Senior sister, I'm sorry, there are a lot of things. The foreigners are about to fight to Beijing. Some things need to be agreed with the Grandmaster to make a decision. Fortunately, the decision has been made now, and we have to do things next. However, this matter is a bit risky and is a risky pursuit. Senior sister, are you going with me?"

"I have never been afraid of risks. My relatives in this world are you and Sister Han Zhi. If you have risks, I will definitely be with you." Jiang Fengzhi nodded firmly.

Zhao Guanhou said: "So that's the case, let's make preparations. This time I'll get you a royal identity!"

This time he was a carefully planned gamble. He used the forces of the eight battalions to serve as capital, and took advantage of the coalition forces to attack the capital to make a speculation. At this time, the troops of the kings in various places were either on the way or had been defeated, and the capital was actually isolated and helpless. The closest to him was only the fourth battalion of the four cavalry and infantry led by the Gansu vassal Cen Chunxuan. He could neither reverse the overall situation nor could he cross the blockade of foreign soldiers.

Zhao Guanhou planned to use this moment to provide timely assistance and use the rescue of the emperor to improve his status as the Yuan clan.

The country is in trouble and thinks of good generals. At present, there is no one available in the Jin Dynasty. The front army of the Wuwei Army and the left army have basically lost their combat effectiveness. The rear army's tail cannot be lost and will become a disaster. As long as the Right Army shows that it is capable of fighting and useful, there will be great potential. More importantly, he is ready to take advantage of this action to start a big business. If this matter is done, Yuan Weiting can almost reach the sky in one step and he can also make a profit from it. He can get all the real power and titles.

Although the Jin Dynasty court is now like a candle in the wind, a centipede worm died without being stagnant. Taking advantage of the fact that the big ship has not sunk, one more wooden board is just a wooden board. If you want to gain more capital, the word "fame" is also crucial.

Of course, to achieve this, Yuan Weiting must have a clear reply. In the telegraph house these days, he asked for instructions from Shandong. Now Yuan Weiting has finally made up his mind that this big thing can start to operate. This time he gambled, and he needed a lot of supplies, from weapons to food and grass, all of which had to be supplied by Jane Sen.

Jason responded to his requests and prepared the materials he needed very well. But he knew that this time, he would have to part for a long time. During the night, he couldn't help but have a few love. Zhao Guanhou said softly: "If this matter is done, your plan to repair a tram will definitely be done. Not only that, you will also have to take care of the tram and circuits in Shandong in the future."

Jason fell in his arms with satisfaction, "Dear, I knew you could do it. But I still hope you can be careful and not take too much risk. I need you to live, promise me, and protect yourself. Of course, I hope your business can be done, but I never want the price of doing business is to lose you. To me, you are more important than business."

"Don't worry, with you, the charming fairy, how could I bear to die?" Zhao Guanhou smiled. "Although I took a little risk this time, it is worth it from the perspective of profit. Of course, the premise is that you have to send me to Beijing and delay the progress of the coalition."

"No problem, both of these things are easy. I can delay their attack for two days, and this period is enough for your troops to arrive in the capital. But why don't you let the army enter the capital, but instead let them go to the capital?"

"When you enter Beijing, you have to stop foreign soldiers for the old woman. This is too stupid, I will definitely not do it. First, you can't stop it. Second, it's not good to block it. At most, she says a few words about the right army being able to fight, praise it, and sending some treasury. These are useless. Let me tell you the truth, you can't tell Yu Qing this, otherwise she will be anxious. I have never thought of helping the Dajin war, nor have I thought of working for this court."

"Then your choice? Do you want to be the emperor yourself?"

"No, I never thought of being an emperor, that's too stupid. I just want to make myself comfortable and make my women live comfortably. Others can be managed as much as possible, and it's fine if I can't. Just like this Dutong Yamen, I try my best to protect this place, but if the Dutong Yamen changes in the future, I can't protect it, and I can't help it. This time, the burden here will fall on you and help me with the best of my strength."

Jane Sen smiled sweetly, "I am a businessman. If you want me to help, you have to pay the price. Now it depends on how much you pay." The room was once again in a cheerful atmosphere.

Tongzhou, the coalition front line command.

The resistance of the Jin Kingdom was far less intense than expected. The so-called army of kings or the righteous people who defended the country could only be described in four words, that is, it was vulnerable. Even those green gauze tents that made the coalition forces shrink their hands and feet were not hidden.

After fighting with the coalition forces, all troops will be defeated in a hurry without even having to fire a few guns or fire a few rows of guns after fighting. Some troops, which are known as elite, will set off guns at the coalition forces, and will flee in a panic when the ammunition is exhausted, and there will be no threat. What really sluggish the coalition forces are not these scattered warriors, but the coalition forces' own supplies and transportation.

The coalition forces had more than 30,000 troops on the front line, but the guards in the capital were estimated to be more than 50,000 to 60,000, and they also had tall and solid city walls and inner and outer city defense systems. Even those who were as arrogant as iron, would not think that the city was easy to attack. In particular, after the coalition forces entered Tongzhou, they found that the granary city of the Jin Kingdom was empty. In the original plan, the plan to seize Tongzhou grains as military rations completely failed, and they had to temporarily stop advancing and wait for the transportation of military rations in the rear.

In addition to food, they also needed heavy artillery and artillery shells to attack the city. There were not many wounded soldiers on the front line, but due to the lack of adaptability to the local environment and heat stroke, many patients had to be transported to the rear for rest. At this time, news came from Tianjin that the train had a malfunction and needed emergency repairs. The food and ammunition were changed back to manpower transportation, but the speed was too high.

Wadesi shook his head helplessly, "Gentlemen, according to calculations, we need to stay in Tongzhou for two days until our supplies arrive. Until then, I do not recommend an attack on the capital."

"Agree." Colonel Sha Fei, commander of Yankee, echoed: "My troops consume a lot of ammunition and need to be replenished before they can move forward. We are a whole, and the interests of the capital belong to all countries. No country can attack the capital before other countries, otherwise it will be regarded as treason."

He said as he looked at Arikseev, a cavalry team of Tiel, who had just harassed near the capital not long ago, and defeated a garrison outside the city gate with hand-to-hand combat. Even this cavalry that had no heavy equipment and no siege equipment almost captured Yongding Gate.

However, this behavior is obviously unwilling tolerate by all countries. Now several countries are attacking each other at the same time, forcing Arikseev to promise and act together with all countries.

The public was in trouble, and even the Tiel people could not provoke the countries at the same time. Arikseev had no choice but to nod, "I respect your opinions. The Tiel troops will remain in line with the countries and will not take action without authorization. It's just that our soldiers fight far away from their hometowns and need to release their emotions, women and alcohol, otherwise it will be difficult to maintain their morale. However, the efficiency of the Dutong yamen is too poor. They always bargain on the number of women, and they don't provide enough meat and side dishes. Moreover, there are problems with the women they sent. Many of my soldiers have been infected with the disease. I think they deliberately selected some patients to weaken the combat effectiveness of our army."

Fukushima Anmasa smiled, "Lieutenant General, I understand your complaints very well, but this kind of accusation is unnecessary. No matter how good a woman is, she will get sick when she goes to such a place. Moreover, the Jin Dynasty's own medical level is very poor, and it is very normal to have patients. If you want to maintain the combat effectiveness of the troops, the best way is to maintain discipline. Also, when you go to the capital, these will be solved. There are many wealthy girls in the capital, and they are all clean and healthy."

Several commanders laughed at the same time and raised their glasses, "Okay, for the health of the pure girl and our soldiers, let's have a drink!" The wine was red and the color was as blood.

From Tianjin to Tongzhou, the coalition forces did not relax their defenses. A large number of soldiers patrolled and investigated all suspicious elements. In fact, more than half of the villages along the way were destroyed by the coalition forces under various excuses. Heads and dead bodies were everywhere. Wild dogs who had eaten dead people and even dared to attack single pedestrians. The remaining villagers did not dare to stay anymore and escaped further away. The densely populated northern Zhili had reached the point where it was difficult to see a stranger a hundred miles away.

A transport team from Tianjin carried the Albion flag high and advanced at full speed under the scorching sun. The team had many vehicles and loaded a large number of supplies. The troops were about one company with neat military appearance and consistent pace. Since the officers were overtaken, there was only one foreigner, and the rest were all Chinese.

The troops in charge of the security can tell at a glance that this is Albion's Huayong Camp. The Chinese recruited from the colonies formed a force to take on the combat mission. However, the quality of the Huayong they recruited was not high. Compared with the Sikh soldiers in India, it was only half a pound, but this was the first time they had seen such an excellent Huayong army.

Since their procedures were very complete, there was no doubt. Only one officer asked casually: "Where are you from? Why did the troops I met before be completely different from you... You understand what I mean."

"We are Huayong recruited from Hong Kong. In fact, before we were recruited, we were all trained and now we are responsible for public security in Tianjin." The Chinese officer replied in Cantonese English, "The amount of supplies this time is too large, so we are escorted. Usually, we are only responsible for maintaining public security in the concession."

"Well, Seymour is so strange. Such a good army doesn't need to go to the front line. Good luck. You can't even see individuals on this road, enough for you to bear."

The officer didn't know that shortly after the transport team passed through his defense zone, he took advantage of the gaps in the defense zone of the two patrol teams and directly got off the official road and drilled into the dense green gauze tent. As soon as he arrived here, all the troops relaxed. Zhao Guanhou took off his military cap and said to everyone: "Brothers, Da Fugui is waiting for you, do you dare to fight!"

"We are willing to die for the Lord!" Huo Qiu took the lead and shouted, and the rest of the people shouted loudly.

Zhao Guanhou nodded and looked at Ryanstein who came with him again, "Earl Ryanstein, have you decided?"
