Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Guan Xuqing received the telegram and looked at it, his hands trembling with anger, "The Russians are making progress, I must show them some color. Feng Xianghua, immediately upload my decree, remove Yihe Donna from the post of general of the three eastern provinces, and fine him for two years , stay in Fengtian to listen to the law."

"Cha." Feng Xianghua didn't understand why the emperor suddenly became angry, but he didn't dare to ask the truth.

"Let's take a look." Guan Xuqing threw the telegram down Dan Xi with a flick of his hand, and Li Hongzhang and Feng Xianghua picked it up and looked at it, and they were instantly burned with anger.

It turned out that after the Sino-Russian fishery protection incident, the Russians went further and created the appalling Hailanpao tragedy.

Hailanpao, located at the confluence of the left bank of Heilongjiang and the right bank of Jingqili River, was originally a village in China. In 1858, Tsarist Russia forced the Qing government to sign the unequal Sino-Russian "Aihui Treaty", forcibly occupying Hailanpao and changing its name to Blagoveshchensk. It later became the capital of Amur Province, and the residents are mainly Chinese.The Chinese living in the city are mainly engaged in business. There are nearly 240 large firms. In addition, there are also a large number of migrant workers, hired workers, small traders and handicraftsmen. There are also many farmers living in the suburbs. There are nearly 1.5 Chinese expatriates in total.

After the Sino-Russian fishing incident, the Russian government distorted the truth, and the hostility between Russians and Chinese continued to rise. Atrocities against the Chinese continued to occur in Hailanpao, and the Chinese who could not bear the abuse fled back to the right side of the river.All the Chinese who were unable to leave in the future due to family and property burdens became the targets of massacres.In desperation, the local expatriates turned to the Northeast China authorities for help, but the Northeast General at the time, Yihe Donna, turned a deaf ear to it. The two battalions stationed on the Northeast border couldn't bear it, and crossed the border without permission from the Northeast authorities to exchange fire with the Russian garrison. It wiped out a reinforced company and a regimental commander of the Russian army.After hearing the news, Yihe Donna handed over the two battalion commanders who had clashed with Russia on the border to the Russian military for disposal without the approval of the imperial court.

The Tsarist Russian government then used the above-mentioned incident as an excuse to brazenly dispatch more than 5 Far Eastern troops into Hailanpao under the pretext of "protecting the city".Planning to massacre the Chinese residents of Hailanpao.An atmosphere of terror was shrouded inside and outside the city, and incidents of persecution of Chinese continued unabated.Gribski, the military and political chief of Amur Province, immediately ordered the Chinese to cross the river, detained all the ferry boats, and sent cavalry to arrest the Chinese people who were about to cross the river.

On July 7, Gribsky ordered all Chinese people to be arrested without leaving a place. The heavily armed Tsarist Russian soldiers broke into the houses and shops of the Chinese people, regardless of men, women, and children, and all were arrested and taken away. Even babies were taken away. Forced out. More than 16 Chinese fled to hide outside the city, but were also found by Russian soldiers. Many of them were stabbed to death with bayonets.A total of nearly 1500 people were arrested that day, and the police station could not accommodate them. They were escorted to a sawmill by the Jingqili River that night.

On July 7, the police station in Hailanpao City drove all the detained Chinese to the bank of the Heilongjiang River. Be it an adult or a child.The entire massacre continued until the early morning of the 17st. The river was stained red with the blood of the dead, and all the corpses floating on the river surface.

Northeast General Yihe Donner had an ambiguous attitude towards the Russians in this incident, ignored the safety of the Chinese nationals, and treated the two battalion commanders hastily.

"Is there any military general in the Northeast who can stand on his own?" After Yihe Donna was withdrawn from all positions, the three eastern provinces urgently needed a capable minister to come out to fight against the Russian army.

"Yes, but this person's background is not good..." Feng Xianghua hesitated.

"Since ancient times, a hero doesn't ask where he came from, as long as he has talent, has the blood of a soldier, and is willing to serve the country, that's enough."

"What the emperor said is true. This man is called Zhang Zuolin, a native of Fengtian Haicheng. He lost his father since childhood and lived in poverty. He met Du Lisan, a giant bandit in Liaodong. With his support, he set up a large regiment, and later annexed western and southern Liaoning. There are more than a dozen bandits, big and small, and their strength is getting stronger and stronger. Yihe Donna considered Zhang Zuolin to be a useful talent because of his strength, so he recruited him. In just a few years, Zhang Zuolin led his men to wipe out the After getting rid of the Fengtian banditry, he led a team to go to Mongolia and wiped out the biggest bandits there, such as Baiyindalai, Yaqian, and Taoktaohu. He is currently the commander of the 27th Division of the Imperial Army and was ordered to be stationed in Fengtian.”

"Zhang Zuolin? I know this man is a useful talent. Yihe Donna finally did something useful for me. In the name of the Ministry of War, quickly call Dong Liang of the Northeast Military Region and order the 27th and 28th divisions to be stationed in Heilongjiang. The 31st and 34th divisions of the Chinese Communist Party rushed to the Sino-Russian border and assembled on the south bank of the Heilongjiang River. In addition, the Military Aircraft Department drafted an order to dispatch a part of the Beiyang Fleet to the Vladivostok naval port to block the Sino-Russian coastal defense line and closely monitor every move of the Russians. .”

"twitter."

Two days later, another urgent report came from the Sino-Russian border.At the Kyakhtu port in Mongolia, the Russian side sent a Cossack cavalry to break into the Kyakhta market on the pretext that the local government forcibly levied excessive taxes on Russian businessmen, and plundered it all away.After investigation by the Chinese side, it was confirmed that the Russian side fabricated the reason for the murder.

Another incident is even more infuriating. The Russian Far East Army stationed in the Hailanpao area, taking advantage of the freezing of the river, crossed the border and attacked the Oroqen tribe in the territory of Aigunting in the name of revenge, killing more than fifty people. people, including Oroqenzuo led by the old man.The local people's sentiments are close to being uncontrollable. More than [-] people from the Oroqen tribe filed a complaint in front of the Fuzhi gate, claiming that if the imperial court did not send troops to avenge their old leader on their behalf, they would fight the Russians regardless of Yihe Donna's ban. .At present, the Chinese people are confronting the Russian army along the river, and the second bloody massacre by the Russians is about to begin.

At the same time, urgent reports came from Lubin Mansion and Hulun Hall on the other side of the Inner Xing'an Mountains. The Russian army held a large-scale military exercise in Nerchinsk. Orion herdsmen have migrated south one after another, and the government and government have been unable to suppress them.

According to news from Vladivostok, the Russian Far East Fleet is quietly heading south, and may soon face its opponents in the Vladivostok military port.

Guan Xuqing was really annoyed by the successive frontline situations. It seemed that the Russians had really made up their minds to fight.Although the Russians have no psychological advantage over the Chinese. In history, Genghis Khan’s cavalry swept across Siberia. Under the reforms of the world, it quickly embarked on the road of capitalism. The domestic standing army reached 300 million, and its weapons and equipment were also improved unprecedentedly. The aggressive nature of the Slavs was revealed again.It seems that this big battle cannot be avoided, but Guan Xuqing has no idea whether he can completely defeat the Russians like Genghis Khan and Kangxi in history.

Ps: It's the end of the month, I'm asking for flowers, I'm still a few places away from entering the flower list, please help me a lot.Thank you

Soaring Front: World War I Chapter 249 Battle of Hailanpao 1

"The Russians have declared war!" A young eunuch was out of breath, holding the Russian declaration of war in his hand.

The people in the Prime Minister’s Office turned pale after seeing the Russian declaration of war, and some complained: “Your Majesty, it’s true that this could have been resolved through diplomatic channels, but we have to deal with the Russians. This is good. Big noses are not easy to mess with, they have more than 200 million standing troops, and the most powerful Cossack cavalry, can we do it?"

"That's right, the emperor insists on competing with the Russians. Now that the Russians say they will send troops, they will send troops. It's fine if they win. If they win, why don't we diplomats take advantage of it?"

Everyone couldn't help discussing and didn't know what idea to come up with, so they couldn't help but said to Li Hongzhang: "Lord Zhongtang, you are an important minister in the court, you should talk, the Russians have declared war, come up with an idea quickly."

Li Hongzhang said slowly: "The Holy Majesty should make up his mind on this matter. As courtiers, we should just do our duty as courtiers."

"You can't say that. You are the central minister next to the emperor. Now the emperor is going to fight the Russians when he gets hotheaded. If you don't speak up, who would dare to speak up?"

"It's not that you don't know, our emperor has always been arbitrary, especially at this juncture, who dares to touch this nail, anyway, I don't dare, I want to go to you." Li Hongzhang flicked his sleeves and went to the back hall to rest .

When everyone heard this, they all shook their heads or sighed like fallen eggplants.

In the study. "Your Majesty, Liang Qichao handed over the sign to see you."

"Xuan Jin."

"The minister Liang Qichao kowtowed to the emperor."

"Surely you already know about the Russian declaration of war?"

"The minister just got the news."

"You are the Minister of Culture, and you hold the mouthpiece of the country. Before a war breaks out, public opinion comes first. You should understand this truth better than anyone else."

"What does the emperor mean by starting the propaganda machine to create public opinion?"

"Now is the time for the news media in your hands to play a role. I only ask for two points. First, clarify the truth. Let the world understand that the Russians started this war first. Second, expand the influence. Expand the scope to the whole world, let people know that China is the just side of this war."

"twitter."

On the south bank of the Heilongjiang River, in the Chinese military camp.Zhang Zuolin stood in front of the four divisions stationed on the border with a majestic face, and behind him was the surging water of the Canglang River.As the frontline commander of this war, he felt a heavy responsibility, and he never thought that the emperor would give such trust to a general who was born as a bandit.He waved his horsewhip and pointed to the north, saying, "Damn it, the big nose has declared war on us, and even uttered wild words to eat up Liaodong and the homeland where our ancestors have lived for generations. Are you willing to hand over your homeland! Give the land of Liaodong to the Russians?"

"I don't want to!"

"Okay!" Zhang Zuolin nodded, and shouted loudly: "You can see clearly, on the opposite side of the Heilongjiang River, the big nose is killing our compatriots, the emperor's decree has been issued, ordering us to drive across the river tomorrow, A showdown with his mother's big nose, are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid!" The voices of tens of thousands of soldiers were uniform, shaking the river into waves.

"Okay, that's what I want! There is an old saying that raising soldiers for a thousand days is a short period of time, and now the old man is bullying to the door. In the past, the court couldn't make up his mind. Now that the emperor is in power, it is time for us to make meritorious deeds." I’ve said something beforehand, if anyone on the battlefield becomes a bastard, don’t blame my surnamed Zhang for being ruthless!” Zhang Zuolin looked like a torch, holding a horsewhip and facing the river, looking very powerful.

The time has come to autumn, and the strong monsoon from Siberia has brought the chill to Hailanpao City early.The jungle in this area gradually lost its luster and became old, the weeds were withered and yellow, the leaves were falling, and the mountain flowers withered.Where the autumn wind blows, dead branches and leaves rustle to the ground.The forest is covered with a thick layer of dead leaves.

Taking advantage of the darkness, the Chinese frogman troops took the lead in crossing the icy river, and then four divisions forcibly crossed in batches.Fortunately, the Russians were afraid of China's large-caliber cannons and did not dare to deploy defenses on the river.

Most of the Far East Army was stationed in a pass outside Hailanpao City.On both sides of the pass, there are towering mountains, one on top of the other, with another mountain on its shoulders, reaching the sky with unfathomable heights.Inside the pass, Duanbi Elevation is overgrown with trees and thorns everywhere.Even in the dry season, there is misty water and misty clouds all day long.

No matter what time of day, Admiral Babkov always wore a neat khaki military uniform, his riding boots seemed to be freshly polished, and he still wore white gloves on his hands.There are three ribbons given by Nicholas II on the military uniform, and the shoulder straps are inlaid with stars, crowns, swords and staffs, which looks majestic.

However, Babkov's mood was gloomy. The Tsar had personally explained that Hailanpao was a fortress in the Far East and must not be lost, otherwise the Chinese soldiers would drive straight into Eastern Siberia.

Considering the importance of Hailanpao, he directly suggested that the headquarters of the Far East Army be moved here, where 5 troops were assembled, almost all of which were the main force of the Far East Army. The warehouse was moved to the valley of Hailanpao, and Chickler only left a support force of more than 1 people.

At around 9 o'clock that night, the battle started around the Hailanpao Pass.The Chinese launched a frenzied charge, pressing on three sides, guns and bullets fired in unison, the earth-shattering roar and incomparably blazing artillery fire seemed to shake the earth and mountains.After more than an hour of fierce fighting, the pass was covered with bones and blood.

"Mom, I have a scar!" Zhang Zuolin was furious at the front of the position.

"Master, I think the Russians have been prepared for a long time. Don't attack by force for the time being. It will cause us too much loss." Zhang Zuoxiang, the brigade commander of the 54th Brigade, tried to dissuade them in time.

The following time the two sides entered a confrontation stage.Under Zhang Zuoxiang's suggestion, Zhang Zuolin was not in a hurry to enter the city, but sent someone to speak to Hailanpao in the city.This trick really worked. Facing the powerful offensive, those people in foreign lands began to miss their hometown.Some sneaked out of the city that night, ran to the Chinese military camp and asked to go home.

Faced with the offensive pressure of the Chinese army's terrifying 160mm cannon and 75mm howitzers, Babkov had no choice but to adopt the tactic of retreating, and prepared to spend it with the Chinese army until there was no better way.Babkov has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, and there are 200 fortresses with a height of more than 32 mm.In this case, it has to be said that the tactics adopted by Babkov can be said to be correct.For them, as long as they can stick to the arrival of reinforcements, the balance of forces between the two sides will change. Whether it is the supply line of the Chinese army or the garrison of the Chinese army, it seems to be sure.

It can be said that he did not make mistakes in tactics, but the tactics of the Chinese army far exceeded their imagination.All tactics are based on the strategy centered on Hailanpao, and a complete, reasonable and effective combat plan has been formulated.

Soaring Front: The First World War 2 Chapter 2 The Battle of Hailanpao [-]

At night, it was pitch black, and the heat of the day turned into an extraordinarily peaceful night. There was not a trace of white cloud in the sky, and the earth was thickly covered with darkness. Hailanpao hadn't calmed down yet. Facing China's forward positions.

Tang Yulin, commander of the 54th Brigade under Zhang Zuolin, led a battalion of soldiers, lying on the sand and walking slowly one after another, closely watching the movement on the pass.A few Russian soldiers with big noses walked back and forth at the pass, chatting with each other with ease from time to time.Tang Yulin was very depressed at this time, because he didn't get the order from his superiors, otherwise he really wanted to rush up and shoot those people now.He urged his men to quickly bury the explosives under the pass.In order to break through the pass this time, Tang Yulin was asked to bring more explosives and open the city gate as quickly as possible to occupy Hailanpao's outpost pass.
