Chapter three hundred and twenty seventh looting Shuangchengzi
Feng Jun defeated the Russians!
This news was like a thunderclap that rang out over China, and the shock it caused was far beyond Zhang Tinglan's estimation. Ever since Shao Piaoping published several battlefield reports through newspapers, the whole of China had begun to boil.
Young students from all over the country suddenly discovered that there is an army on Chinese soil that dares to challenge the great powers, and a force that can fight for China's interests. For many young people, they are like almost desperate people in the desert.
The feeling of suddenly discovering a clear spring is indescribable. Countless people are waiting for news from the front line every day.
More and more Chinese people are cheering for Fengjun. Over the years, the dignified China has been bullied to the extreme. Any country can trample China's dignity under its feet. The cruel reality is unacceptable to these passionate young people.
They are unwilling to let their country sink like this, but they can't see any hope.
The news that Fengjun had regained the Middle East Road came out, like a ray of dawn, and immediately attracted the attention of countless young people. Then there was a confrontation between Fengjun and the Russian army, and even a military conflict. Fengjun took the initiative to keep the enemy out of the country.
, everyone felt extremely excited.
After Zhang Tinglan's arrangement, Shao Piaoping's article was sent to Fengtian via telegraph as soon as it was written, and then printed into newspapers overnight. In addition to being distributed in Fengtian, it was also sent to Beijing and Tianjin in large quantities. The article was written by a famous writer in the newspaper industry.
, the things written about were earth-shattering events. For a time, paper in Luoyang, Beijing, Tianjin and other places was very expensive. As long as Fengtian newspapers were delivered, they would be sold out immediately.
Some major newspapers simply sent special reporters to Fengtian, and after reading Shao Piaoping's article, they sent telegrams directly. At this time, telegrams were not cheap. Under normal circumstances, one word cost one dime and two cents, and one word was an ocean.
Posting a thousand-word article costs at least a hundred oceans.
Few newspapers could afford it. Some newspapers simply sent a summary back and then had it polished by specialized staff. However, after Lao Zhang found out about the news, he simply allocated a special fund and asked these reporters to send it to Beijing with good punctuation.
Some are even sent directly to Shanghai, Wuhan and other places.
Regarding the issue of the Middle East route, Chinese public opinion is also fermenting rapidly. Some people have also stood up and accused Fengjun of provoking the great powers. He is overestimating his own capabilities. As long as the Tsarist Russian army arrives, Fengjun will collapse. By then, the entire East
The three provinces are not guaranteed. This is completely making fun of national affairs.
Many literati jumped out and pretended to be concerned about the country and the people. Although they had no idea about the comparison of military strength between the two sides, nor about the strategies and tactics, it was enough to know that China was far behind the great powers. These people could just talk nonsense, and they didn't know anything about it.
Don't worry about any problems.
Just like making a bet, many experiences in the past told them that China has never taken advantage of the big powers, and it was the same this time. The only thing that made them unhappy was that Shao Piaoping also wrote out the example of Teacher Zhu,
Their lofty opinions were eclipsed, and many young people doubted their words. Could these sanctimonious guys also live by pointing to foreigners?
Just when public opinion across the country was being attracted, news finally came from Suifenhe that surprised everyone. The Feng army defeated the Russian army, killing more than 4,000 of the enemy and capturing more than 5,000 prisoners. It gained the opportunity to fight in self-defense and counterattack.
Initial victory!
There was a thunderous thunder in the sky, and everyone was stunned. Those who predicted that Fengjun would be defeated instantly lost their voices, and their faces were turned red. Some of them had the sense to simply shut up and just think of themselves.
None of them said that as long as this period of time has passed, they can still jump out and point out the country.
Of course, there are some people who refuse to admit their mistakes and continue to assert that a victory does not necessarily mean victory every time. As long as Tsarist Russia concentrates its elite troops, the strength of the Fengjun army is still not enough. It can flatten the three eastern provinces in one move. Now
If defeated, it would be enough to cede some benefits. When the Russian army comes to kill, I am afraid that the three eastern provinces will not be protected.
More and more students have scorned this kind of noise. If they really want to do the good of this country, they rush to the front line, throw their heads and blood, die on the battlefield, and croak like crows behind them. In addition to destroying the morale of the military, they don't do anything.
It's of no use.
Since the late Qing Dynasty, the right to speak in Chinese society has been monopolized by a small number of literati, and this time the battle on the Eastern Road caused their authority to be shaken for the first time.
Those young students were no longer fooled by them. Many people simply packed their bags and went directly to the three northeastern provinces, hoping to join the Fengjun Army. In addition to the enthusiastic young people, chambers of commerce in various places also made donations to the Fengjun Army.
, and at the same time also sent people to the three northeastern provinces to have a look.
Businessmen all long for order. Now that Fengjun can defeat the foreign powers, security will be guaranteed under their rule. If appropriate, these people are also prepared to expand their business to the three eastern provinces.
In short, the whole of China was shocked by this news. More and more people went north to the three northeastern provinces with various purposes. Gradually, a trend formed. More and more aspiring young people flocked to the three northeastern provinces.
, many of these young people have considerable talents, and in the future they will become the main development force in all walks of life.
In any case, the force of Fengjun was finally deeply remembered by the Chinese people for the first time, and some people began to look forward to Fengjun, hoping that such a powerful army could protect their safety.
However, compared with the excitement among the people, the officials in Beiyang are silent at all. They are completely noncommittal about Fengjun's actions. They can't come up with a charter on how to deal with the relationship between China and Russia and end this conflict. In short,
Beiyang is imitating the ostrich and burying its head, as if there is no such thing as the Middle East route.
In fact, there is a reason for pretending to be confused. The chaos on the Middle East Road is really beyond the control of the Beiyang government. Duan Qirui has no idea what actions Russia will take. However, Britain, Japan and other countries are ready to take action, and their attitudes are not good.
First, the world is in chaos, and domestic sentiment is boiling again.
Supporting Fengjun may offend the great powers, and Beiyang does not dare to conflict with Russia. If he does not support Fengjun, popular sentiment will overwhelm them. Lao Duan simply pretends not to know anything, so as to leave himself a way out.
.
Zhang Tinglan has no time to deal with the chaos in the country. His most important task now is to take advantage of the emptiness in the Russian Far East to plunder good things. After Constantine's troops were wiped out, the number of Russian troops in the Far East was less than 20,000.
It looks like there are a lot of people, but there are too many places to defend.
The entire eastern section of the Siberian Railway needs to be taken care of, especially places such as Khabarovsk and Vladivostok that cannot mobilize any troops. Another unit called the Far East Free Army also began to become active. After the defeat, the Russian people became more and more dissatisfied with the government.
The more dissatisfied you are.
Ivanov took the opportunity to promote his ideas and continue to expand his influence, and Zhang Tinglan also increased his investment in him. Half of the guns seized this time were delivered to Ivanov, allowing him to expand his armed forces.
strength.
The Russians had internal and external troubles, which created a huge gap. Zhang Tinglan had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and immediately decided to attack Shuangchengzi and seize the crucial machine repair shop. Marshal Zhang Xueliang had also been eager to give it a try, and he took the initiative to ask for orders.
Here comes this mission.
A thousand elite forces were dispatched from Fengjun as the main force of the raid. This operation was actually the first time that Fengjun went abroad to fight. There were many things that needed to be planned carefully, otherwise if there was any accident, Fengjun would be in trouble.
bring heavy losses.
"Qing Han, this time I have contacted a lot of bureaucrats in the Russian Far East. They will provide intelligence assistance and assist us appropriately. You must pay attention to dealing with them well."
"It would be great to have internal help. After all, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Without the help of Russian forces, it would not be so easy to succeed." Zhang Xueliang said: "I'd like to say, since you have this kind of relationship, why didn't you use it earlier?
Ah, it won’t be so hard for us to fight against the Russian army. Let these Russian officials use their hands and feet, and everything will be easier."
"If we don't defeat the Russians, will they be willing to help us?" Zhang Tinglan asked back, and Zhang Xueliang immediately understood the key to the matter.
Although Zhang Tinglan had a smuggling intelligence network in the past, these people would not betray the country easily, and they were not optimistic about Fengjun, and they were even less willing to take advantage of Fengjun's weapons. This principle is the same in later generations. It is difficult to bribe backward countries.
Officials from advanced countries, on the contrary, those powerful countries have a bunch of political puppets from small countries.
Now Fengjun easily defeated the Russian army and demonstrated its strong strength. In the game field of the Far East, Fengjun finally had its own status. At the same time, some Russian officials were finally willing to have a good relationship with this dock. After all, Russia was still in chaos.
, everyone needs to find a way out.
With the help of these internal agents, Zhang Xueliang's actions became much easier. They crossed the border and quickly attacked Shuangchengzi. The frightened Constantine fled in panic and went directly to Vladivostok. Zhang Xueliang temporarily occupied Shuangcheng without firing a shot.
City.
"The Commander-in-Chief has a request. We cannot occupy Shuangchengzi for a long time, so we must evacuate the city as quickly as possible. Wu Kaijie, you immediately take the manpower to control all financial institutions such as banks and get all the cash deposits. Zhang Tingshu takes the men.
Take over the ordnance repair shop and move all the usable machines inside. Zhang Henian is responsible for the direction of the train station and gathers all the usable locomotive carriages. We need to use the railway to transport supplies!"
After Zhang Xueliang assigned the task, everyone went to work. He personally led some people to the machine repair factory and went straight to the rail processing workshop. This is Fengjun's main goal. With this thing, he can process railways.
The final problem of the railway built by the army was also solved. When he saw the machine and the mountains of railway tracks, Zhang Xueliang couldn't help shouting excitedly: It's done! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better updates of the novel.
