Chapter 170: Tension(1/2)

Because Mr. Lee abandoned Korea at the beginning of the war, the Japanese army was unstoppable along the way, and there was no one on the backward peninsula who could resist Japan even slightly.

"Sir, please, this is the last food for our family...Sir...ah!" The man slumped on the ground and watched as the Japanese took away the last food and livestock.

boom!

The voice came from behind the man. He mechanically raised his head and looked at the Japanese soldiers coming out of the room.

"Yoshi, you are so wet, my wife is so wet, so wet!"

Looking at his disheveled wife in the room, the man lowered his head cowardly and said nothing.

This kind of thing can be seen everywhere on the peninsula. The two groups of nobles who treated their own people cruelly are now like puppies, kneeling and licking the Japanese.

Dongxue also organized a resistance, but unfortunately the combat effectiveness was too weak, with no logistics and rear, so he could only hide in the mountains and forests.

Japanese people have low self-esteem and arrogance.

The Japanese First Army defeated only more than 400 new troops, thousands of troops with swords and spears, and tens of thousands of peasants.

But in the final report sent to Tokyo, it turned out that hundreds of thousands of troops had been defeated, the entire south had been occupied, and they were attacking northward.

"The development of the war was unexpectedly smooth. The Qing Dynasty retreated directly to the riverside and gave up the whole of Korea!" Japan and the Minister of Finance were undoubtedly the happiest.

Since we have occupied a large area of ​​land with such low consumption, how can this land bring some harvest?

The ministers in charge of the war looked ugly. In the past, a North Korea might have satisfied them. Anyway, there was no guarantee of victory.

"The army did not encounter any Qing troops, and the consulate was empty. Judging from various circumstances, the Qing Dynasty was ready to fight, and the first thing to do was to abandon the peninsula." The Minister of War looked unkind.

This is not good news, Die Qing seems to be prepared for it.

"The Beiyang Navy has blocked the entrance to the sea and is not acting alone. Intelligence shows that they have all completed the change of equipment, and a steady stream of cannons have been transported to the fort." The Minister of the Navy was under the greatest pressure.

The sailing of warships is a big event. Just burning coal requires a large amount of money. Once Beiyang is dispatched, the Japanese army has to be nervous for fear that he will disappear.

If there weren't enough spies and rich intelligence, he wouldn't dare to fight.

"Judging from the news coming back from the front line, North Korea is no longer a cause for concern, and the Army must be prepared to collect military expenditures." Saigo simply said in a brief sentence about collecting military expenditures.

Only North Koreans will understand how cruel this is, which means that almost all movable wealth in the family will be plundered.

If a woman is insulted or even slightly unhappy, she may be killed.

"The current war situation is unprecedented. If Die Qing is prepared, all previous intelligence will be invalid. Now our understanding of them is almost zero." They refer to the army.

"I will do my best to find out the information. Their personnel, organization, weapons, logistics, commanders, I want it all..."

"Die Qing is recruiting new soldiers. Soldiers from all over the country are concentrating to the north. It is estimated that there will be more than 300,000 people!" Gentaro Kodama hurriedly entered the combat conference room.

"What!"

"So fast!"……

"Kodama Gentaro!" Saigo thought for a moment and shouted.

"Hi!"

"You are appointed as the commander of the third division, responsible for stationing and clearing out all resistance forces in the occupied areas." Xixiang looked at him deeply.

"The Ministry of War will immediately draw up a new recruitment plan, and the number of troops will be expanded to 250,000. They will be supported by North Korea!" Xixiang's voice was cold.

"Hi!" 2

Both of them knew what this meant. Two hundred and fifty thousand people, fourteen and five divisions, to support so many people, they would have to dig three feet into the occupied area.

…………

Why did the Qing Dynasty move so quickly? Because as early as a year ago, when governors from various places were buying weapons on a large scale, the governors had an agreement that wherever Japan attacked, other people must help.

This is a win-win situation. The Governor of Liangjiang, Dongshan, etc. are all afraid that they will be Japan's targets. The Governor of Liangjiang and Guangxi is Mr. Li's brother.

Also, Mr. Li went to court to scare people as soon as the war started.

"Your Majesty, I have ordered the military camps stationed in North Korea to be stationed in Beiyang. The sailors have all withdrawn to the riverside to prepare for defense against Japanese pirates. The navy has blocked the entrance to the sea.

However, the troops on the front line are not strong enough, so please quickly mobilize the green battalions of the provinces to prevent the Japanese army from rushing into the ancestral land and disturbing the dragon's veins.

And quickly ask all countries to adjust to avoid direct war with Japan!"

Mr. Li said that his strategy was to defend and ask for mediation.

"Absurd! Beiyang has spent so much money. In the past two years, one-eighth of the treasury revenue has been given to you. Beiyang has spent so much. If you are timid before fighting, what use do you have?" Mr. Weng felt very unhappy.

The longevity banquet was over, the garden was inspected, and it was time for the emperor to take charge, but the power was still in the hands of the rear party.

If the emperor cannot control power, then what is he as an emperor?

"This statement is wrong. All the active Huai Yong have gone to the front line. There are only more than 20,000 people (Lao Li concealed it). The Japanese pirates have already boarded North Korea with more than 100,000 people. One against five? I, Huai Yong, can't do it.

Come on, Mr. Weng, why don't you give it a try?" Mr. Li said in a nonchalant manner.

"Humph!" Mr. Weng stopped talking, but since Mr. Li asked all provinces to participate, he, Mr. Weng, will be the main battler from today on.

The Queen Mother looked at the restless and helpless emperor, and a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

"Yes! Military expenditures are raised by each province, and export taxes are levied to offset military expenditures."

………

"Prime Minister, the progress of the war is completely different from what we expected. The Qing army retreated in large strides and established a defense line along the river."

"Both the Japanese army and Die Qing have carried out a new round of recruitment. Japan's plan is not very clear. Die Qing has gathered about 350,000 people from various provinces, of which about 70,000 to 80,000 have undergone simple training."

"Their own internal documents are very confusing, and we can't get accurate information."

Listening to the staff report, Liu Yiming nodded. Being able to achieve this level has exceeded his expectations.

"The Beiyang Navy adopted passive tactics, blocked the outlet to the sea, and passively responded to the Japanese Navy. The Beiyang Navy has failed..." The conclusion drawn by the navy was even more negative.

"How do you think the war will develop further?" Liu Yiming was not sure either.

It was originally Beiyang's fight against Japan. Why did 350,000 soldiers suddenly appear?

Moreover, after directly abandoning North Korea, the supply line will be shortened, and the navy will not need to be restrained by the army. This is a good move!

Unfortunately, the fleet has shrunk again, and the theory of fleet existence is of little use to Japan! It was originally used to protect supply lines.

"All parties are accumulating strength. It's hard to say who will win or lose, but I am more optimistic about Japan." Xie Hui spoke first.

"Tell me why."

"I checked our trade records and found that we exported rifles of at least seven calibers on a large scale for Die Qing.

Moreover, the Qing Dynasty moved too slowly, and soon the front line was 30,000 people against four divisions, and the difference in numbers could reach 1 to 2.5."

"I am more optimistic about the Qing Dynasty. The roads in northern Korea are not necessarily better than those in Borneo. Without machinery for supply, the war will only end in a mess, and Japan cannot afford to delay it." Wang Yang added...

"Okay, no matter what the war situation is, send more people to contact the Qing Dynasty, soldiers and civilians. I want it, but don't act too eager. During the war, just a little contact will be enough. After the war, you can always..." Liu Yiming thought

A plan to attract people.

…………

No matter how the war situation develops, at present, this is a local battle and will not have a particularly huge impact.

Nanhua is still experiencing peaceful times. The jungle development continues, the mining continues, and the business has not stopped due to the war.

At the end of July, Cyril approached Liu Yiming.

"Good day, Mr. Prime Minister." Cyril still looked British.

"Good day, sir, may I ask what your purpose of coming this time is?" Liu Yiming motioned for him to sit wherever he pleased.

"Mr. Prime Minister, I am conveying Japan's protest against your country." Cyril told Liu Yiming his purpose without sitting down.

"Protest? What are you protesting against me for? Why doesn't it come on its own?" Liu Yiming pretended to be dumbfounded, I don't know.

"Japan protests that your country violated the provisions of wartime neutrality and sold a large amount of weapons to belligerent countries. Moreover, your country did not allow Japan to restore diplomatic relations with your country after the war." It even listed all Japanese, Japanese nationals, and Japanese immigrants.

for the prohibited entry list.

"In this incident, we only stated that we would not interfere in the conflicts between the two countries while maintaining our interests." Liu Yiming did not even explain the entry ban list.

Nanhua has the most relaxed and strictest immigration control measures.

The reason for the laxity is that Nanhua is too big and an island country with 20,000 islands, so it is impossible to fully and effectively control it.
