Chapter six hundred and twenty fifth regain lost ground
No one can stop the President's instructions, but this does not mean that everyone agrees with the President's choice. Prussia's claim to return the concession sounds full of sincerity, but if you analyze it carefully, you will find that its motivation is very suspicious. Fusang has always been in line with Albion, which is the power that Albion built in the East.
With the war between Albion and Prussia, it would be a matter of time before Fusang joined the war to declare war on Putra. The possibility of Fusang soldiers traveling across the ocean to the battlefield in Thailand was not high, and it was more likely that they would use force against the Prussian army in Qingdao. At this time, the return of the Jiaozhou Bay Concession was actually to let China come forward and protect Prussian interests.
It can be foreseen that even if the handover is completed, Prussia's interests in Shandong will not be affected. The Gonghe Zhengfu still has to come forward to protect Prussia. The Fusang Foreign Ministry has issued a note to Gonghe, ordering the Gonghe Zhengfu not to accept Jiaozhou, otherwise it will be regarded as an act of covering up Prussia.
It is not a wise choice to not get the benefits and offend Fusang. Moreover, Prussia's performance also makes people believe that the so-called handover is nothing more than a fool of placing oneself on fire. At the same time as it issued this note, a fleet from the Habsburg Empire also arrived in Qingdao, including heavy gunboats, battleships, and even a steam gunboat.
A fleet of this size is enough to defeat the Communist Party and join the navy. There are also 500 Prussian infantrymen who come with the ship. With this style, it is said that it is sincerely handed over to the concession, so who believes it? Going to take over the concession at this time is destined to be an extremely difficult task.
Xu Youzheng was implicated in the case of the Five Routes Dagan and was also removed from the title of Deputy Chief. However, Duan Zhiquan still regarded him as his confidant. Nothing in the Army Department could be hidden from his eyes and ears.
Duan Zhiquan was worried, "The president insisted on taking back Jiaozhou. If it was in peacetime, it would naturally be a reproachable good thing. However, in the current situation, receiving Jiaozhou is equivalent to holding a fried egg that ignited the fuse in his arms, and once it attracts the Fusang people to attack..."
"What the President wants is probably to attract the attack of Fusang people." Xu Youzheng smiled coldly. If the President only wants to be the president, he will naturally welcome his strong soldiers with both hands. But an emperor will not welcome his subordinates to have an extremely powerful vassal state. Moreover, the last time the Lu army crossed the border and annihilated Liu Heiqi, the President expressed his affirmation and his heart might not feel good. Such a rebellious army can be restrained by human feelings and relationships. What will the future eldest son rely on to restrain him? After all, they are
Father and son, father, always leave a peaceful country for their son, rather than a group of arrogant soldiers and generals. This time, Zhao Guanhou took Jiaozhou and Fusang would inevitably attack. Zhao Guanhou fought with Fusang people and was destined to lose all his capital. If he gave up Shandong, it would be equivalent to losing his territory and prosecuting his troops and losing territory. His patrol envoy could not be saved. If the Lu army lost its territory, it would be equivalent to water without a source, and it would not take long to disperse without a fight. No matter what, the Lu army was destined to be the past and would not become a heart-wrenching problem that affected the president."
"Tieshan, do you mean? The President wants to...?"
"What the old man wants to do, Zhiweng won't expect. It's enough for everyone to know. Now, we can do our duty. I have drawn up a plan to mobilize the armed forces in Hebei Province and prepare for the invasion of Shandong by force."
Duan Zhiquan was stunned, "Absurd! How can you make plans to prevent your own people?"
Xu Youzheng smiled and said, "Whether he is his own person depends on the environment. If Zhao Guanhou refuses to take over Jiaozhou Bay, he will not be considered his own person. If he cooperates with the Fusang people and fights against the main palace by force, would Zhiweng still be his own person?"
"But the eldest lady?"
"Don't worry, there is no need for the eldest wife. As long as you hand over this plan, President Bao Zhun scolded Zhiweng for being so bloody. Maybe he would be ordered to rest in a sick way and not leave the house for a few months."
Xu Youzheng smiled confidently, "But, I promise that after Zhiweng closed the door, the President will send Tang Tianxi to send condolences. After this period, he will guarantee the reinstatement of the original position and reward him. For the old man's emperor, you have a very unhappy quarrel. This is an excellent opportunity to make up for it and cannot be missed."
Duan Zhiquan was overjoyed and said, "If this is the case, I might as well explain to the President that this is all your idea."
"I'm free, I only have one head, and I can't grow it if I cut it off. If the old man knew that this strategy was done by myself, my life would not be saved. Besides, I haven't received the salary from the Army Department for a long time, and I only received the allowance of Zhiweng. The king regards his ministers as pigs and dogs, and the ministers regard him as grass. I set up a plan for Zhiweng to repay you for your kindness. As for Yuan Weiting... he is not qualified to send me."
Jinan, in the Magistrate's Mansion.
In addition to the telegram from the Beijing Army Department, there was also a note from the Fusang Embassy, which seriously warned the Lu army that the two countries should not accept the concession without authorization before deliberating on the issue of Shandong Concession. Otherwise, all problems will be caused by the Lu army.
After Yu Qing looked at it, he threw the telegram away, "Yuan Si really can call people. Let us go to the fire to get the leech, and he was watching the joke. Isn't this just showing that bullying us is easy to talk to? If I ask me, we won't go anywhere, just stay here, and wait until the Ministry of Foreign Affairs discusses a result, it will not be too late to take action."
"It's too late." Zhao Guanhou smiled and took Fusang's telegram in his hand. "I bet that if we don't take over Jiaozhou Bay, the next person who will come to the door will be the Fusang special envoy, expressing his kindness, and revealing the value of Fusang's official position to me, and finally supporting me as the new president of the Communist Party. Although I, Zhao Guanhou, are not good enough, I will not cooperate with the Fusang people to destroy my brother-in-law's Taiwan. That's too grandson. Isn't it just Jiaozhou Bay? I will get it back sooner or later. I'll send me an order and the troops gather! I also notify Jinan's newspapers that I'm going to hold a press conference."
When Gao Sheng went out to convey the military order, Zhao Guanhou said to Yu Qing: "How can I let go of such a good opportunity to win reputation? I don't know how many girls should write me a courtship letter this time..."
The camera's medicine powder flashed, and white smoke was released. The photo of Zhao Guanhou holding a Fusang telegram appeared on the front page of Shandong newspapers. It was immediately reprinted by newspapers in Beijing.
"As a communist soldier, Zhao only obeys the orders of the President and the Army Department. Other telegrams are not allowed to obey orders." At the reception, Zhao Guanhou tore the Fusang telegram to pieces in front of the reporter, raised the paper scraps and turned them into snow all over the sky.
This action with great camera value successfully aroused the emotions of the reporter. A reporter immediately asked whether such a disposal would be retaliated against by Fusang. Zhao Guanhou replied firmly: "The Jiaozhou Bay issue is for our internal affairs, and Fusang has no right to interfere with our internal affairs. If he ignores the laws of the public and forcibly interferes in our internal affairs, Shandong has 100,000 tigers and 400 trillion people, and will deal with foreign enemies to the end!"
Immediately, a female reporter jumped up and asked, "Zhao Guanshuai, if the war starts, will you be in front of the battle? If you are in front of the battle, you will inevitably be in danger of your life? Have you ever been afraid of death?"
Zhao Guanhou smiled at this young female reporter who was not very old and had a pretty good appearance, "I cherish the lives of generals and soldiers. If I can, I hope there will be no sacrifice. But this does not mean that I am afraid of death. If I have to sacrifice, I have the determination to sacrifice myself to ensure that the common dignity cannot be trampled on. On the issue of life and death, please allow me to recite two poems: Life is as gorgeous as summer flowers, and death is as quiet as autumn leaves."
After this poem was published in the newspaper, it became popular in the capital. Even in the Fengyun team in Shaanxi Lane, I heard the news. Cai Feng smiled and said, "Zhao Guanshuai is really a good person. It is hard to say that we are the best. But if we are more likely to show off than creating public opinion, I am really inferior to him."
Xiao Afeng smiled and prepared tea for Cai Feng. "The general is pragmatic and handsome, and he is very famous. I have seen him when he came to Fengyun's squad last time. He is not an outstanding person. The three bandits are almost the same. They have to touch each other when they meet, not like a famous scholar. Maybe even these two lines of poetry were bought." She remembered the scene when Zhao Guanhou went to Fengyun's squad last time and frowned unconsciously.
Cai Feng laughed, "It's a real celebrity who is rich, and this is not a shortcoming. Xiao Afeng, don't underestimate him because of this. A general who can defeat Tieler people with his troops, defeat Jiangning, and set up a good situation outside the pass is worth our expectations. Guanshuai, you already have the public opinion you want, and people's hearts must also strive for 70 or 80 points. There is no shortage of weapons, food and wages. Next, it depends on your ability. As long as you can persist for twenty days, Cai admires you for the rest of your life. If you can stick to it for a month, Cai will make friends with you. For the sake of unity and for the face of the Chinese, persist for a long time."
On both sides of the official road outside Jinan City, people who saw off were overwhelming. Representatives from all walks of life in Shandong all had to see off the soldiers who recovered their territory. The food and food of the laborers were shipped for more than ten miles, and the waves of people composed of sent-off travelers rushed towards the embankment composed of soldiers of the Lu army again and again.
Even the powerful Lu Army's direct descendants felt unsure in the face of such a huge sea of people. They had reported to the upper house several times, and the situation was special, so they asked for reinforcements. The first row of people was pushed by the force behind them, and they were uncontrollably hitting the soldiers' rifles, and were pushed back. Among them, they were all-round, including both successful people in well-dressed clothes and old people wearing Jin Dynasty official uniforms.
I don’t know who it was, but suddenly shouted: “Big Flag! It’s Guan Shuai’s big flag!” Then, the crowd became even more fierce. In just a moment, several gaps broke open. The crowd separated the sentry and rushed towards the squad.
The soldiers in the front row raised their rifles alertly, and Zhao Guanhou shouted immediately: "Don't hurt people! Tell everyone to abide by order."
The guards holding the tweeter in their hands opened their throats to remind them to abide by order. Due to the new management system that Shandong has pursued for several years, order has almost become a part of people's lives. After several calls, the crowd finally gradually regained its rationality, and the guards took the opportunity to restore the dam.
"Does go, dos go!" An old man with a rosy and full face was still young and powerful, and he had a very skilled martial arts. He walked like a mud, had solid steps, and his arms separated the crowd and rushed towards Zhao Guanhouma.
He wore a bright blue top on his head, wearing a robe of a third-rank military general in front of him. He looked at the back of his head and had long braids. At a glance, he knew that he was a remnant of the pre-Kim era. The old man was far away from his horse's head and fell to the ground.
"I'll use it under the command of Duke Shaoxiang of Dengzhou. The third camp of Dengzhou is under the command of Huang Ligong, and I'll pay tribute to Zhao Jue Shuai!" As he said, he put a handbook on his head.
His voice was so loud that he shouted out, and a burst of laughter suddenly burst out from the crowd watching. Two young men in their thirties knelt down behind the old man with red faces, complaining: "Dad, what are you doing? The country of Dajin has been destroyed, so I won't be able to do this."
"Get out! What do you know? Our family has received the emperor's kindness, and what you eat and wear is not rewarded by the emperor? You have starved to death without the money and food I earned by the army. Shi Yelu came to repay his kindness. No matter when, I was a general of the Jin Jin. Jue Shuai was a marquis named by the court, no matter when!"
Zhao Guanhou laughed immediately and said, "Old Huang, let's talk about it. It's not popular to share this set of rules of kneeling and worshiping and handing over the book. We are not Xuzhou, and I am not Zhang Yuan."
"The courtesy cannot be abolished. Whether it is the former Jin Dynasty or the common law, the old rules are rules and cannot be changed. In front of the general, the young man has to kneel down. This is the old rule in the army for hundreds of years and cannot be changed. The young man comes today and specially sends his son to Jue Shuai's command to charge for Jue Shuai and serve the court."
"Teen the army? There is a recruitment office in Jinan, so the son can register at the recruitment office. However, please think twice. Shandong may start a war now. At this time, the army will be transferred to the army, but you have to exchange your life for money and food."
Huang Ligong kowtowed again, "Jueshuai, since the joint union, my Huang family's children have withdrawn from the military. Our family has received the emperor's kindness and cannot work hard for the traitors. But today, I want to send my Huang family's children into the army with my own hands, in order to serve Jueshuai."
He turned around and said to the farewell team on both sides of the road: "Dear fellows, I have formed soldiers in Guangzhou, and I have been in trouble. Over the past few decades, we have fought countless big and small battles with foreigners. When did we cede land and pay compensation? When did we beat us to the ground? Now, the general has brought his soldiers and taken back the concession occupied by the foreign devils. This is a great thing to fight for all of us! I, Mr. Huang, have been a soldier for a lifetime and earned a third rank by military merits.
When I came back from the future, I felt unhappy. I didn’t catch up with such a good general. I felt wronged! I am old and can’t swing swords and guns, and I can’t go to the battlefield. But my family still has children and grandchildren, and they can join the army to serve. You guys, can I miss such a good opportunity? I have three grandchildren in my family, and one of them is enough to leave the inherited incense. The others are sent to join the army. Even if they die on the battlefield, they will sacrifice their lives for the country. They can be better than Yue Jingzhong and Guan Yun! Why are you afraid of even if you die?"
He kowtowed to Zhao Guanhou again and said, "Biaoxia has no future in this life. He has not made any achievements in his war. The most obvious thing is to carry the big banner for Duke Shaoxiang. Now that he is old, I am afraid that I can't carry your military flag, and I can't bear it either. If the grace of the master can make you a success, even if you die, you can close your eyes."
Zhao Guanhou made a gesture, and Liu Jun stepped forward to help Huang Ligong and handed the reins of the horse to the old man. The old man, who was over 60 years old, raised his chest and raised his head, his eyes shining, and shouted loudly as he walked: "The Dengzhou Camp's supervisor led Huang Ligong to lead the horse for Zhao Jueshuai. This time, Jueshuai went here, and the flag was opened and the horse was successful!"
The waves instantly lowered, and the passerby fell to the ground, shouting "The Grand Marshal's flag is winning"
"Prespect our country's power!"
